1
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: So I'm reading one of the trade publications earlier today,

2
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: and that trade publication is talking about this concept, this

3
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: new age evolving concept that they think they've stumbled upon,

4
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: and that concept is there may be a year round

5
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: market for college football content. And it just threw me

6
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: against a wall. It's like, maybe it will work. Who knows?

7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: Or put another way, Welcome to the party. We've been

8
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: thrown for a long time. You're all welcome. You're just

9
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: a little bit late, but welcome. Nonetheless, it is Thursday,

10
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: and is May eleventh. Three of our Lord twenty twenty

11
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: three were jam packed hi a top a much more

12
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: tranquil downtown Nashville, Tennessee than it was the last time

13
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: you and I spoke. Wildcar teams all over this great

14
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: sport of ours, and I've got to talk to you

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: about several of them tonight. We still got portal intel

16
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: to share. We still got guys that are floating out

17
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: there in the portal and they've still got a land somewhere,

18
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: and a couple of them have, So I got to

19
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: get you up to date on that. I started to

20
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: started to take that fine tooth comb that we own,

21
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: and we started to brush our way through these different

22
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: conferences earlier today and started to look at some of

23
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: the biggest conference games. Now, this is normally the stuff

24
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: that we would wait to talk about in July or August.

25
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: And I'm not I'm not promising you that this is

26
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: the last time I'm going to talk schedule, but I

27
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,639
Speaker 1: do want to at least start to broach the topic

28
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: of which one of these which one of these conference

29
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: games is a little bit bigger than the others. I

30
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: got some to talk about in the SEC tonight. I've

31
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,839
Speaker 1: also got the FSU mood Tracker. I've got a crushingly

32
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: disappointing statement from producer Jesse in regard to that they're

33
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: watching us in Melbourne, Florida, Little Rock, Arkansas, Homa, Louisiana,

34
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: and Flagstaff, Arizona. It has been such a busy week

35
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: for us, and I cannot tell you hardly any of

36
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: what we've been up to. It's okay, because you'll find

37
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: out in due time. The biggest breaking news this week

38
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: is I think my cough's gone. I think the congestion

39
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: is gone. And if you hate the way I sound

40
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: when I'm congested, it pales in comparison to how badly

41
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: I hate the way I sound when I'm congested. Candidly,

42
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: I wouldn't watch or listen to the show. It's bad

43
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: for business for me to tell you that. But I

44
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't watch or listen. And yet you guys have our

45
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: numbers haven't dipped any and that fascinates me, and I

46
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: thank you so much for that. So my present to you,

47
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: I'm not wasting any more time. We're diving into the

48
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: show tonight. I was looking around earlier today. That's going

49
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: to be a gift later. By the way, I was

50
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: looking around and I'm looking at the schedule for this year,

51
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: and I'm looking at some of these teams, and I'm

52
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 1: looking at some of these over unders that have come out.

53
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: We've got some wildcard teams out here. We've got some

54
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: teams that Vegas and me and you and everyone else

55
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,119
Speaker 1: is kind of wondering, how do we nail this team down?

56
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: And you know the first one is going to be

57
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: because we have neglected them for the better part of

58
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: a month is Tennessee. I walked in the building today,

59
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: I said, Jesse, we need to talk about Tennessee. Let's

60
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: do the Tennessee mood Tracker, and noted Vall hater producer

61
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: Jesse said, no, we already did that. I said, well,

62
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: we're putting him in the show somehow. So here they are.

63
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: Tennessee's a wildcard team for obvious reasons. We watched what

64
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: Hennon Hooker did last year. We watched what that coaching

65
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: staff was able to do. We watched what Jalen Hyatt did,

66
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: even after ear centric Tillman goes down. So you had

67
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: a superstar wide receiver emerge, you had a superstar quarterback emerge,

68
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: and neither one of them are there anymore. And so

69
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: the most the most shallow, casual, preview magazine only sort

70
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: of person out there would say, well they're gone. That

71
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: means Tennessee comes back to earth, because it's not been

72
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: that long ago obviously that we were living in a

73
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: world where Tennessee was well, they were really really down

74
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: to earth. Then last year they weren't. So you know,

75
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: it's that whole Well did they catch lightning in a bottle?

76
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: Or are they going to be a mainstay player. Joe

77
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: Milton looked a really good in that Bowl game. And

78
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: I'm not going to rehash a lot of this because

79
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: you already know that what I'm doing is I'm trying

80
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: to give you both sides of why they're a wild card.

81
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: You see, because until you've sustained excellence, until you've sustained

82
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: a run of well above average play, there's a lot

83
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: that can still go wrong. There's a lot that's still

84
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: unproven about you. And that even takes into account from

85
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: Memphis all the way to Knoxville and everywhere in between,

86
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: how much confidence there is just bubbling emanating out of

87
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: that program. I've talked to you for a while about

88
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: how I think they've recruited defensively a little bit better.

89
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: That gets overshadowed obviously because of the offensive production that

90
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: they have put up and they plan to still put

91
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: up this year and in years moving forward. But they

92
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: don't have that element of surprise, which we've seen, notably

93
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: a few times in the SEC. We've seen it elsewhere

94
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: like Michigan State did this couple of years ago. They

95
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: snuck up on everyone. Well what was their on core?

96
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: It was terrible. I do not expect a Michigan State

97
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two style drop off for Tennessee this year.

98
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: They get Bama and Georgia in the back half of

99
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: the schedule. So even if the worst were to happen,

100
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: and we watched them against Virginia, which is being played

101
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: here in Nashville, and they look a little shaky, a

102
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 1: little rickety. It's okay because they've still got time, and

103
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: they've got Austin p and they go to Florida early

104
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: and they got Utsa, but they've got that bye week

105
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: before they play A and M and go to Bama

106
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: and they've got Georgia second last week of the year.

107
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: So you know, whatever they're going to be offensively, they

108
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: will long since have figured it out by the time

109
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: they get to the back half. That's a wild card team.

110
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: I will also tell you right now they're over under

111
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: win total is nine according to Caesars and the SEC

112
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: Championship updated odds plus fourteen hundred. So there you go.

113
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: There's your up to the minute betting market numbers. On Tennessee,

114
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: let me go to the Big Ten and let me

115
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: talk about Penn State and let me tell you that

116
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: there's perception, there's reality, or what reality could be. I guess.

117
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: So perception is the Big Ten East is a two

118
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,239
Speaker 1: team race. And there's a reason it's that perception because

119
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: it has been that over the last few years. Jesse.

120
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: What was at twenty fifteen, I think when they won

121
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: the Big ten sixteen? Yeah, so almost they have not

122
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: gone to the playoff, which brings in that hole. Have

123
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: not done some have not done something versus cannot do something.

124
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: Theory that we talk about on the show all the time.

125
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: They're going to have a pretty darn good defense this year.

126
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: The streets are saying it may be an elite defense.

127
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: We'll see. But also you've got a new quarterback to

128
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,679
Speaker 1: break in there now. Again in the preview magazine world,

129
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: that always means big question mark, that always means potential

130
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: drop off, especially when you have a multi year starter

131
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: in Sir Sean Clifford, and then you're going to a

132
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: not a true freshman but still an unknown commodity, albeit

133
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: a very highly rated unknown commodity. And Drew Aller, Now,

134
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: we were up there a couple of weeks ago. We

135
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 1: talked to him at length, we watched him practice. I

136
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: feel fine about him, but I understand if there is

137
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: some apprehension out there elsewhere the receiver Corps about to

138
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: get cefhas in there. I think for the summer it

139
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: was a very incomplete picture of the Receiver Corps in spring,

140
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: so we got to watch that. That's on the more

141
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: micro level. On the macro level, it's just collectively, have

142
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: they raised their level of play to match the Ohio States,

143
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: to match the Michigan or to put a finer point

144
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: on it, can you knock off one of them? Because

145
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: if they can, who knows how that playoff picture plays out,

146
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: who knows how the division picture plays out. But also,

147
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: you know, I am not a believer in that whole

148
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: two team race theory, especially this year. It'd be one

149
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: thing if you had, you know, like a CJ. Stroud

150
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: returning at quarterback for Ohio State, even though the Buckeyes

151
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: didn't win the division last year, When you have that

152
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: caliber talent at quarterback position for one of those big teams,

153
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: that makes them the definitive or odds on favorite. Well,

154
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: this year you got McCarthy up at Michigan. You don't

155
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: know who's going to start at Ohio State, and we

156
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: know who's going to start at Penn State. But Drew

157
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: Aller has yet to write his stories, yet to cast

158
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: his own mold of what we should expect from him.

159
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,239
Speaker 1: And yet Vegas is a believer. Does the over underwent

160
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: total for Penn States nine and a half. You may say, oh,

161
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: that's not high yet, it is friends nine and a

162
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: half's pretty high number. Miami down in the ACC last

163
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: year was a disaster. Last year was a train wreck.

164
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: Oklahoma vibes from what they did last year. Now with Oklahoma,

165
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: same thing with Miami. Pretty much everyone expects improvement this year.

166
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: Question is not are they going to improve? The question

167
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: is we're going to see a quantum leap? Are we

168
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: going to see just a little hoping a skip forward,

169
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: you know, be happy to make a bowl game versus

170
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: competing for a spot in the ACC Championship game. Everyone

171
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: expects improvement. How much improvement from Miami. Mario's been there

172
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: one year, kind of one and a half cycles now.

173
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: They have recruited classes ranked sixteenth and seventh respectively. Their

174
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: portal classes have been ranked twelfth and fifteenth respectively. They've

175
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: got adequate talent. They missed on their coordinator hires last year,

176
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: that's pretty obvious. And Kevin Steele, for different reasons than

177
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: Josh Gaddis, just really didn't work out down there. It's

178
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: hard to blame them, you know, it's hard to blame

179
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: them because I'd be lying to you if I said,

180
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: I didn't think that Josh Gaddis was a Grand Slam higher.

181
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: You just you don't have to over think the room.

182
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: There the guys at Michigan by way of Alabama. He

183
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: wins the Broyles Award, Mario hires him away, and you

184
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't be crazy to think, Wow, that's a big hire.

185
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: Perceptionally it's a big hire. Recruiting wise, it's a big hire.

186
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: Do just won the Broils Award, which goes to the

187
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: top assistant coach in the country. You would think he

188
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: knows what he's doing. And it never clicked. It never

189
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: It's like trying to light wet wood on fire. Just

190
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: never clicked. And that set them back, you know, because

191
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,119
Speaker 1: there are other parts of that program right now, there's

192
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: a pretty good vibe around the program. There is a

193
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: pretty good synergy within the program. Recruiting, like I said,

194
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: is going pretty well. They've they've added some guys from

195
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: the portal. It's just that when you go zero for

196
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: two on your coordinator hires right out of the gate.

197
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: That is how you false start as a program. That's

198
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: how you false start as a new head coach. That

199
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's it's terminal. Or anything. But it does

200
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: mean that you could have a really bad first year

201
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: and you could lose some folks along the way. You

202
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: could lose some believers, And that's okay. If I were

203
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: a head coach, if that happened at Paid State, I

204
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: would keep a smile on my face, and I'd punch

205
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: the steering wheel when I got in my car every night,

206
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: but I would keep a smile on my face publicly,

207
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: and I would just take note of all these people

208
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: who patted me on the back and all these people

209
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: who are abandoning me. Now. Fortunately, we don't really have

210
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: that problem at Paid State because we control our schedule,

211
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: so you know, we just went every week. But Miami's

212
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: a big wild card team. Because as much as you guys,

213
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: some of you, judging by my DMS, wouldn't be surprised

214
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: if they just cratered again this year, there are other

215
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: folks who expect a great, big rebound this year, and

216
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: I think the healthy chunk of you expect something in

217
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: the middle and maybe not be surprised with either outcome.

218
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: That is the definition of a wild card team. I

219
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: will tell you this. There are different schools of thought

220
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: out there about how close they were to losing Tyler

221
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:59,119
Speaker 1: van Dijk. Even within the Alabama community and the Miami community,

222
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: they're a different school. Thought about how close they were

223
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: to losing Van Dyk. Irrelevant, they didn't lose him. He's

224
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: there that over under win total seven and a half.

225
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: Playball game on and let's see if they make another

226
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: move or two in the portal. They've had a really

227
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: good run of it last week. Notre Dame next up

228
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: in the wild card department. Notre Dame different than all

229
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: the other teams because obviously this is not a team

230
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: in a conference, and if you're new to college football,

231
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: that may be news to you. I never take it

232
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: for granted. Excuse me. I never take for granted that

233
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: everyone listening to the show has just watched the sport

234
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: for twenty some odd years. And if you're new to

235
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: the table, like let's just say you are an NBA

236
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: fan and you watch some NFL, but you're just not

237
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: really familiar with college it may come as a shot

238
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: to you that I'm talking about all these other teams

239
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: and these conferences, and then I get to Notre Dame

240
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: and say they're not in one, and you say, what

241
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: they're not in? What this is college football. Don't come

242
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: down here knocking it because this is maybe not the

243
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: way all of us love it. I don't have problem

244
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: with it, but it's at least the way we run

245
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: things here. It's not perfectly shaped. It's not a perfect circle.

246
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: Some of the corners are round it off. And this

247
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: compartment over here is a little heavier than that compartment there.

248
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: The Big Twelve has fourteen teams. The Big Ten has

249
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: fourteen teams. The Pac twelve has like, I don't know

250
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 1: how many they're gonna have day to day. Yeah, it's

251
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: a little weird as little wonky. That's the way it

252
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: works in college football. So Notre Dame is a wildcar

253
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: team for a few reasons. They're a wildcar team every

254
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: year because of how many different conferences they touch. They

255
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: play Ohio State this year. They could shake up that picture.

256
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 1: Not the Big Ten picture, per se, but they could

257
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: shake up the playoff picture for a Big Ten team.

258
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: They play USC every year. They play Clemson again this year,

259
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: and I think they go down there. Late in the year.

260
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 1: They play Louisville, dark horse team that we have featured

261
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: prominently in the ACC. They play NC State, so you

262
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: know they've got a lot of chances to affect pictures

263
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: in a lot of different conferences. Sam Hartman's the main

264
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: other reason at quarterback in the transfer portal, why this

265
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: is a wild card team? Oh, they're playing a game

266
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: in Ireland. Whatever. They closed strong last year recruiting class.

267
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: They finished number twelve, so it was a really solid class.

268
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: I've told you I thought it was overlooked because they

269
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: had a ton of four star guys and no five

270
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: star guys, which is what it is. It's still a

271
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: very very solid class. They're over under win totals eight

272
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: and a half to win the national title plus twenty

273
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: two hundred odds. Very much a wildcard team. The last

274
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,599
Speaker 1: wildcard team is probably the biggest wildcard team. So you

275
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: can tell I did not go in any order here,

276
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: but the last wildcard team. Where do you think I'm

277
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: gonna go? If you're listening to on a podcast, how

278
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: do you not go? Texas A and M. Texas A

279
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: and M has given birth to my usage of my

280
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: favorite metaphor. And I try and find a team to

281
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 1: talk about this every single year, and Texas A and

282
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: M is absolutely that team. What you got to look

283
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: for to use my favorite metaphor is you got to

284
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: find a t with a head coach who specializes in

285
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: one side of the ball, and then he's making a

286
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: move and he's bringing in a coordinator also normally on

287
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: that side of the ball, and he's he's promising that

288
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: he's delegating authority or play calling responsibility to that new hire. Well,

289
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: we got all those boxes checked because we've got Bobby

290
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: Patrino in here, and he is the coordinator now for

291
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: Jimbo Fisher. But it's Jimbo's offense right, Well, maybe not

292
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: this year, or maybe it is, or maybe it's Bobby

293
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: Patrino calling Jimbo's offense. And my metaphor is always the

294
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: dad in the passenger seat trying to let the sun

295
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: drive for the first time. But then all of a

296
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: sudden you leave the church parking lot where it's just

297
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: easy to donut your way to death, and then all

298
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: of a sudden you're out on the main road and

299
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: here comes one of those logging trucks. Do you reach over,

300
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: do you grab the wheel? Just make sure you get

301
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: past the truck. In other words, does Jimbo grab the

302
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: wheel during that Miami game? Does he grab the wheel

303
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: during the Arkansas game? Or does he does he let

304
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: it go? Does he just kiss his hand, touch the

305
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: room and come what may? I'm teaching this kid how

306
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: to drive? Is Jimbo? Come what may? Bobby Petrino's my

307
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator? Or is he That's gonna be a week

308
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: to week sort of thing. Big wildcard team here, because

309
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: I got a lot of Aggie friends who have a

310
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: lot of strong opinions on this, And I also think

311
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: that this is one of those teams where what they

312
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: do this year transcends just the Texas A and M

313
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: fan base, because I think Jimbo has gotten his program

314
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: to a point where everyone's got an opinion on him.

315
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: You can go ask a new Mexico State fan, you

316
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: can go ask a UNLV fan, Hey, Jimbo Fisher Texas

317
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: A and M thoughts. Very few people at this point

318
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: say I don't really think one way or the other

319
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: about them. A lot of folks have a firmly entrenched opinion,

320
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: positive or negative. Very few people are indifferent Las Vegas.

321
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: What do they think over under win total a year

322
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: after not making a Bowl game? What do you think

323
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: six and a half? Seven? Absolutely not right back up

324
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: there at eight and a half. Why Because the talent

325
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: roster's too good. They can't afford to hang a number

326
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: lower than that because they know how mightily A and

327
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: M underachieved last year. Now, from an odds maker's perspective,

328
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: you acknowledge last year, but you're trying to set a

329
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: number for this year. And so this year, they know

330
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: that eight and a half is a very fair number

331
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: for that talent roster. And they also know that last

332
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: year happened because of certain reasons, and those reasons seemingly

333
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: have been addressed with the hiring of a new offensive coordinator.

334
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: Right your odds making community has no way of knowing

335
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: whether Jimbo's going to follow through on his stated reasons

336
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: for hiring that coordinator. So they got to put that

337
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: eight and a half out there. And that concludes my

338
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: top five wildcard teams. I don't think that's an exhaustive

339
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: list because we had to shave several teams out of there.

340
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: So it's a healthy amount of summer time that we

341
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: still have coming up. Not to be confused with all

342
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: season that we can talk about that, But I do

343
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: want to zero in on one team here, and I

344
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: want to welcome you to the show. By the way,

345
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: if you're watching. I guess it's been a while. I

346
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: haven't explained the format. We do the show live Sunday

347
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: night and Thursday night this time of year, eight Eastern,

348
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: seventh Central, but we also format the show to where

349
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: if you want to listen to it on podcasts, that's fine.

350
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: You don't lose anything. It's pretty graphics, little spinny logo

351
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: in the background, but you really don't lose anything. So

352
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: you can just take it listen to it the next

353
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: day at work instead of doing actual work. We encourage

354
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: that sort of behavior. And also you can find the

355
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: full link shows on the YouTube channel anytime you want,

356
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: and if you want to go through individual videos clipped

357
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: from the main show, those are also there, plus a

358
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: few shorts and random videos from the Late Kick Extra podcast,

359
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: which otherwise is just an audio only feature. So a

360
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: lot going on. Okay, this whole concept of vacation, that

361
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: stuff normal people do, we don't really do that. Ohio

362
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: State is changing. There are some changes being made in Columbus, Ohio.

363
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: A little refresher here on what the streets are saying.

364
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: It's crazy how much this is upended over the last

365
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: twenty four months, because twenty four short months ago, give

366
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,479
Speaker 1: or take on the math, the going theory was Michigan

367
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: would never beat Ohio State again. There was just a stranglehold.

368
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: Urban had seamlessly transitioned to Ryan Day. And Ryan Day

369
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: was humming along recruiting, even maybe ticking a bit up

370
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: from the days of Urban Meyer. And certainly there was

371
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: going to be the same intensity and the same focus

372
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: and the same razor sharp execution, and the quarterbacks were

373
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: still going to come through there. And it was the

374
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: way it was for a little while until it wasn't.

375
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: Memo's famous saying things are always the way they are

376
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 1: until they are not sage wisdom from Memo. And so

377
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: I went from listening to certain people tell me that

378
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: that team in Columbus was going to dominate forever to

379
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: the same people telling me twenty four months later, Ohio

380
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: State can't beat Michigan. Can't like cannot beat them. Get

381
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: their best effort and they still can't beat Michigan. That

382
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: is a little foolish to me. Maybe they will not,

383
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: I guess is something I can pick up if that's

384
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: what you're putting down, but cannot This is a really

385
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: good team. Plus I presented the science to you. The

386
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 1: other day that for the past six years running, the

387
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: team with the most first round draft picks the following

388
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: April was the team that just won the national championship,

389
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: And the mock draft community is telling us resoundingly Ohio

390
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: State projects to have the most first rounders next spring,

391
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: which means scientifically, not according to me, scientifically means Ohio

392
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: State should win the title. It's a little tongue in

393
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: cheek there, but not really, because I think it's going

394
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: to be a really good team. But anyway, the changes

395
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: I'm talking about are changes that once upon a time

396
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: people did not think would happen. But what do we

397
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: always focus on here? I've already said it once in

398
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 1: this show tonight. I always take the sledge hammer this

399
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: time of year and I pound on the idea that

400
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: there is a difference, guys, between saying something cannot happen

401
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: and something just has not happened. There is a lot

402
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: in this sport that hasn't happened that is dressed up

403
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: as cannot happen. And let me give you an example.

404
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 1: Stop me if you've heard this, or stop yourself if

405
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: you said this, Ryan Day can't win a national championship. Well,

406
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: Ryan Day has not won a national championship. That's true.

407
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: Cannot can't win a national title. I call bs on it.

408
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: I listened to it about Kirby for a long time,

409
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: long time, like what four or five years or something

410
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: like that, and then all of a sudden he ran

411
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: off too in a row. And obviously no one says

412
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: that anymore, and you can't find anyone to admit that

413
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 1: they used to traffic in that nonsense. I believe one

414
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: day we'll live in a world where Ryan Day will

415
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: have won a title, maybe more, and no one will

416
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,719
Speaker 1: admit that. They're saying what a lot of people are

417
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: saying right now, and that is he can't win. No,

418
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,719
Speaker 1: he hasn't. He hasn't won one. It's gotten close, hasn't

419
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: won one. That's different than can't win one. But what

420
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 1: are these changes? Well, these changes are because of failure,

421
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: and not failure in the classical sense, because he's got

422
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: about as good a winning percentage as any coach has

423
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: had over the last several years. But it's not good

424
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: enough and I'm not here to suggest otherwise. And it's

425
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: not good enough at Ohio State because in consecutive years

426
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: they have lost to Michigan in consecutive years they have

427
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: failed to win the Big Ten Championship or even play

428
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: for one, and they wasted the CJ. Stroud era in

429
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: doing so. That is not good enough for them. The

430
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: standard is that high. I don't push back on it.

431
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: I understand it, I respect it. Failure is a really

432
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: great motivator. Though. Failure is a really great incentivizer. And

433
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: so Chris Hummer's got a really good feature over on

434
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: twenty four seven sports dot com right now about some

435
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: of the changes that are happening there, namely in the

436
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 1: transfer portal. But I told you at the end of

437
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,239
Speaker 1: last season when they lost the Michigan game, then they

438
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: got a reprieve and they played Georgia, and out of

439
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart's own mouth, he said, they probably should have

440
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: beaten us. Well, they didn't, and you got You go

441
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: into a very very long dark winter and you're forced

442
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: to look in the mirror and question everything. You just

443
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: tear it all down. Now you may build it back

444
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: and it looks exactly the same, but you leave no

445
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: stone unturned when you do qcrs, when you do quality

446
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: control reports, when you do self scouting, when you internally

447
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 1: review yourself, you got to go top to bottom, and

448
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: nothing is off the table. You got to make sure

449
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: that razor sharp efficiency in every corner of your program

450
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: is prioritized. Well, I'll tell you one area where we've

451
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: seen Ohio State evolve a little bit, and this was

452
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: in Chris Hummer's feature. So I got two quotes for you.

453
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: One of them is from a year ago. This was

454
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: Ryan Day talking about the transfer portal. Now listen to

455
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: how different it's going to sound compared to what I'm

456
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: about to read you. This is Ryan Day about a

457
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: year ago. Quote. We really haven't spent a lot of

458
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: time focusing on the portal because I think if you

459
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: want to sustain the program for a long period of time,

460
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,719
Speaker 1: I think recruits in their families, when you recruit them

461
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: and talk to them about the plan for them to

462
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: develop in your program, they want to see that happen

463
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: and they really don't want to see a transfer come

464
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: up and jump somebody in line. Reasonable. Well, then last

465
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: year happened, and then we fast forward and this is

466
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 1: Ryan Day from earlier this month, according to our friends

467
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 1: at buck Nuts. Quote. As you guys know, we've been

468
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 1: very careful to add pieces here, but we know it's

469
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: a necessary thing, and so we have to sit down

470
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: at the end of spring and identify what positions do

471
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: we feel good about, Where do we have depth, Where

472
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: do we feel strong because we know we're going to

473
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: lose guys along the way, and guys are going to

474
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: have to step up. They have added triple the amount

475
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: of three and four star caliber talent this portal cycle

476
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: as they did last cycle, and a couple of them

477
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: are going to be plugging play type guys. Jahad Carter,

478
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: the kid from Syracuse, I believe for star defensive back

479
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: they got they care from ole Miss, same way Taiwan Malone.

480
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: Since you and I last spoke, they added that big

481
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: defensive lineman out of ole Miss and even if he

482
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: doesn't start, they're loaded there. That just adds more depth.

483
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: They've added some big time pieces. And you know last

484
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: year Eli Ricks's player that ended up going to Alabama

485
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: out of LSU Ohio State. I don't know if they

486
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: were in a position to where if they snapped their

487
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: fingers they get Eli Rix. But what I do know

488
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: and what Hummer talked about is they didn't actively pursue

489
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: him and Bama did. You can't help but go back

490
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: to think about the Michigan game or the BAM or

491
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: the Georgia game. What difference does one player, one talented

492
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: player make back there, There's no way to know. So

493
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: it's a feudal attempt at rewriting history. But players in

494
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: those games. It's not units all the time. Individual players

495
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: can change the course of seasons, can change championship courses,

496
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: and can change careers, especially when you're operating on the

497
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: type rope that the head coach at Ohio State operates on.

498
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: So Ohio State's got seven portal commits right now, Josh Simmons,

499
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: by the ways, the offensive tackle they got out of

500
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: San Diego State, he's going to start. I mean they

501
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: got him in there to start immediately. That was one

502
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: of their most glaring needs offensive tackle. So here's my

503
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: final point right now on Ohio State. Don't be fooled

504
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: by thinking the book is written on a guy. So

505
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: it used to be with head coaches that you coached

506
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: a couple of different places out of the spotlight before

507
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: you got a shot at a big time program. So

508
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 1: you had gone through the trial and error phase, You

509
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: had learned lessons, you had tried out things and found

510
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: out what does work, What doesn't work. And by the

511
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: time you get an Ohio State caliber job, you've got

512
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 1: like fifteen years under your belt. And that's not to

513
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: mention all the time you spent cutting your teeth as

514
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: a grad assistant or a position coach or a coordinator.

515
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: It's not the way it is anymore all the time.

516
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: And therefore Ryan Day is at his first head coaching

517
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: job and it's Ohio State. The thing about it is,

518
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: you can't change the way progress works. You can't change

519
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: the way professional maturation works. You still got to learn

520
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 1: the lessons. You still got a trial and error, You

521
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: still got to find out what works, what doesn't works.

522
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: You still got to make mistakes. No one's immune from it.

523
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: It's just that nowadays you do it with millions of

524
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: eyes on you, because people are willing to make their

525
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 1: job your first shot as a head coach. It would

526
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: be very foolish to sit here three or four, or

527
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: in this case, five years into a guy's head coaching

528
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 1: career and think you know him, because the reality is

529
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: the Ryan Day of twenty twenty three is probably not

530
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: the one we saw in twenty twenty. The Ryan Day

531
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty seven may have evolved another fifteen percent

532
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: of his core philosophy from the one we're going to

533
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: see this year. Guys aren't robots. AI hasn't come that far.

534
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: They don't just exist in a vacuum. They see things,

535
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: they experience things, They hire people, New ideas come through

536
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: their building, They observe new ideas. They get their tailkicked

537
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: by people and have to look begrudgingly and say, what

538
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: are they doing better than us? And it hurts. It's

539
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: a bitter pill to swallow, But anyone who's ever succeeded

540
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: at the highest level had to go through that and

541
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: probably will again at some point. So when I hear

542
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: about what Ryan Day cannot do, I always laugh at

543
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: it same way I did with Smart back in the day.

544
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: And when you talk about him in definitive terms, here's

545
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: who he is as a coach, as if it can

546
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: ever change, here's a thing about him, as if it

547
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: can ever change. It's garbage, not just with him, but

548
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: because they've lost two very high profile games at the

549
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: end of years in rivalry fashion, people are saying it

550
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: a lot more about him. It's foolish, for lack of

551
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: a stronger term, because I know the kiddos are listening.

552
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: It's foolish. So Ohio State this year has the second

553
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: best odds to win the Big Ten. It's been a

554
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: while since I said that to you. Michigan's got the

555
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: best odds to win the Big Ten. Michigan's killed it

556
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: in the portal too, and they didn't need to. When

557
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: I say killed it, I don't mean like Colorado. I

558
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: mean they have bought themselves the ability to cherry pick

559
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: and sprinkle all over their roster. Well, Ohio State's sort

560
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: of done the same thing, and those Big Ten championship

561
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: odds for the first time in a while, you got

562
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: in Michigan got Ohio State. Now I think I would

563
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: surprise you in telling you Wisconsin is the third favorite

564
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: that has everything to do with the division and the

565
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: imbalance up there. And then Penn State's there fourth at

566
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: plus seven hundred. So fun times ahead in the Big

567
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: Ten Conference. Interesting that the choice liquid that is in

568
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: the chalice tonight is the same flavor it always is.

569
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: It just tastes a little bit sweeter. I don't mean

570
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: that as euphemism, I just really literally mean it tast

571
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: a little bit sweeter. I don't know what we did

572
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: cooh Man, I didn't put my usual piece of paper here, Jesse,

573
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: I'm glad. I remember Academy Sports and Outdoors was in

574
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: the was in the mainstream conversation on the twitters the

575
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: other day. So someone back in twenty twenty did a

576
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: comparative analysis. They did one of those either or it

577
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: might as well have been a poll question, and they said,

578
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: you can only choose one place to shop for the

579
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: rest of your life. Is it Academy Sports and Outdoors

580
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: or is it one of their competitors that we shan't

581
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: mention by name? And I've found it the other day.

582
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's three years old. That's a

583
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: war that I'm happy to fight digitally, of course. And

584
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: a lot of you, and I'm proud of this. A

585
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: lot of you came to Academy's defense as if they

586
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: need it. I mean, it's a slam dunk clear option.

587
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: Give me Academy or give me death, What's what I said.

588
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: And a lot of you echoed the cinnamon in much

589
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: stronger terms. Because a lot of you who have been

590
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: around this show for a while, you number one, you

591
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: appreciate that it's free. Because let's be real, who in

592
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: the world's going to pay to listen to me. So

593
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: you appreciate that it's free. I appreciate that we can

594
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: make it free. But listen, Jesse and Colin and I

595
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: don't walk in here as the great grandchildren of like

596
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: Cornelius Vanderbilt or anything like that. We don't have pockets

597
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: deep enough to provide this show to you for free.

598
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: But when we partner with a friendlike Academy Sports and Outdoors,

599
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, a lot of these bills get

600
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: paid the old fashioned way. And the old fashion way

601
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: means go find the best outdoor sporting goods company in

602
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: America and partner with them, and voila, there it is.

603
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: So you guys have come to appreciate that. And therefore,

604
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: because they roll with us, you roll with them. And

605
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: I thank you for that. And it was never more

606
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,479
Speaker 1: apparent than the other day. They took notice, they hit

607
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,719
Speaker 1: me up, they took notice. I'm trying to tell you

608
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: thank you through them. So if you've got needs, I

609
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: don't care if you need a baseball bat or just

610
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: some big lea chew gum, or you need a new tent,

611
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: or you need a bike, or you need I don't

612
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: have fishing gear Academy Sports Outdoors has got you. And

613
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:16,800

614
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: can't go in person, academy dot com. I got email

615
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: to me today a list of the new locations they're

616
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: opening up, and it is lengthy. Immunity we move on.

617
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: Transfer Portal still just churning away. I know the window

618
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: closed last week, but yes, we still have big names

619
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: in here, and we got some names that have landed

620
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: since the last time we talked. So with a stack

621
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: of the paper there, let me get you some of

622
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: the latest Transfer portal whispers and Intel Trey Amos you

623
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: know that name, Probably not, maybe some of you Sun

624
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: Belt fans do multi year starter for Louisiana. So I

625
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: played in thirty four games for them, a couple of

626
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: years under his belt. He transferred to Alabama, so this

627
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: was a coveted player and I thought Bama was the

628
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: early leader. Then I heard some other teams had emerged

629
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: and Alabama ended up pulling him. So Alabama at corners

630
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: interesting because I think kool Aid mckissry is one of

631
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,719
Speaker 1: the best in the country. I think Terry and Arnold

632
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: can be one of the best in the country. They

633
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of depth behind those front two.

634
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: Nick Saban's been vocal about that. They got some names

635
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: from prior recruiting cycles, but they don't have proven depth.

636
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: Trey Amos provides them some proven depth. Six one one

637
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: ninety seven LSU was in this thing A and M

638
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: Penn State Miami. I mean, he's a multi year starter

639
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: at corner, so pretty much everyone, even if they didn't

640
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: need corner help, they at least at least called him

641
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: up and said, hey, Trey, just keep us in mind.

642
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: And Nick Saban ended up landing him. So this is

643
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: a big get for them, and that's even without the

644
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: risk of injury. This year they needed it, but especially

645
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: if one of those guys went down for Alabama, that

646
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: would end up being a glaring hole on an otherwise

647
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: champion and ship contending team. I've also got to talk

648
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: to you about some Colorado odds and ends, but this

649
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: time it involves a player leaving Colorado and that is

650
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: Jordan Tyson, and we talked about him for a while.

651
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: That is a former four star receiver there. He led

652
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: Colorado in receptions last year or receiving yards, led him

653
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: in touchdowns last year. It's pretty good player. He had

654
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: five touchdowns as a freshman. He's going to play for

655
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: Kenny Dillingham. He's going to play for Arizona State, So

656
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: we stay out west. He's six' two point, eighty got

657
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: three years. Remaining and there were several big time players

658
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: in this one. Too oklahoma was, THERE a AND m was,

659
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: There AUBURN tcu and so this is a big get For.

660
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: Dillingham remember, now they also made some noise in Landing

661
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: jade And. Roshada there's no guarantee he's starting for them

662
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: at quarterback this. Year but for those of you who

663
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: are getting your names, Confused reshada was that quarterback that

664
00:33:55,520 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: had the big dust up in nil fashion With. Florida,

665
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: Well rashada landed At Arizona, state and so now you

666
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: got to get players for him to throw to if

667
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,439
Speaker 1: he is their starter this. Year whoever's starting out, There

668
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: Jordan tyson will probably be an integral part of their passing. Game.

669
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: Now as for a guy who has not landed, yet

670
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: and this is a big, NAME i don't care how

671
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: late it is in the. Cycle you got to stay

672
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:26,919
Speaker 1: locked in on names like. This Keon coleman still don't.

673
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: Know Keon coleman is a top twenty five player regardless

674
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: of position in the. Portal he Was Michigan state's leading

675
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: receiver last. Year big bodied guys six' four proven, commodity

676
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: here got about sixty offers, so far can go pretty

677
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: much wherever he. Wants to HE visited fsu. Last weekend by,

678
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: all accounts things went. Very well he just wrapped up

679
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: a Visit, to OLE miss i have not gotten any

680
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: feedback on how that. Visit went it sounds like he's

681
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: about to visit tex and m, As well so let's

682
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: hold off. On THAT and i think that what he's

683
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: trying to DO is i don't think he is visiting

684
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: until he finds a place he wants. TO go i

685
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: think he has a few places he wants, to visit

686
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: AND then i think he's got a date in, his mind,

687
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: you know maybe maybe like next week or something, like

688
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: that where he'll end. Up Committing keon coleman six four

689
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: two fifteen is gonna be a difference maker in whichever

00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: heart betting by, The way so don't take that as a.

767
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: Prediction either but outside, of that like how would? This

768
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 1: happen it doesn't. Even matter the odds have hardly ever

769
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 1: mattered recently when it comes To the. Big, twelve Baylor

770
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: like baylor lost four. Offensive linemen they're just gonna make a.

771
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: Run anyway. We'll see so if it's not oh You.

772
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: Or texas here are SOME thoughts. I Have, Kansas, state

773
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: yeah it could. Be them they're only returning fifty two

774
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: percent of their, defensive production and that matters because as

775
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: much attention as that quarterback situation got, last year, you

776
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 1: know they were tied for sixteenth in points per game allowed.

777
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 1: Last year defensively they were. REALLY good I mean i

778
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: was up THERE and i saw. Him Blank oklahoma state

779
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: just Body Bagged oklahoma state and they, ended up, you

780
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: know Winning The, big twelve which people kind of forget

781
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: because they just all you think ABOUT Is Tcu National,

782
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: title game which means they must have won. The, conference

783
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: no they. Did Not chris climban just got his, Contract

784
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: extension so. There's that well WHAT. ABOUT tcu tcu went

785
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 1: to the title game? Last year do they fall Back

786
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: to earth? This, year well they could fall Back to

787
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: earth and go like ten, And two but they have

788
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: one stat that's gonna stand out, a lot and you're

789
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: not hearing it right now Because, it's may but you

790
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: will start to hear it more, and more and that

791
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 1: is the number. One eighteen they're one hundred and eighteenth

792
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: in returning production. This year so when you've got a

793
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: team that went to the national title game and you

794
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: don't return much at all. Of it it's a. New

795
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: team doesn't mean they still can't, be good but they

796
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: got to be good for. Different reasons they are also,

797
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: playing six aside, from themselves the other six of the

798
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,439
Speaker 1: best odds teams In The. Big twelve they play all.

799
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,439

821
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: in terms of odds In The, big twelve so let's

822
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,120

823
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: thirty four plus in four of their five losses. Last

824
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,400

Speaker 1: It is TEXAS. And ou the last time that one

850
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: of those two was not the preseason favorite to Win The.

851
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: Big twelve how far back do you think you have?

852
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: To go you gotta go all the way back to,

853
00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen And yet texas has not won this conference

854
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: since two thousand, and nine which even for the people

855
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 1: who know, they've struggled has to. Be stunning that is

856
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,280
Speaker 1: a punch to. The chest do you know two thousand

857
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: and nine that was the year They played bama in the.

858
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: Title game that's the last Time that texas Won the Big.

859
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 1: Twelfth championship that's a long, time ago and that's a

860
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,760
Speaker 1: conference that there's been more than winnable in. Several years

861
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: texas going to be in. Good POSITION if i had

862
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 1: to pick the conference, Right now I'd picked texas to,

863
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: win it which means. Absolutely NOTHING but i just have to.

864
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: Warn you, last year remember the MODEL which i hold

865
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: in my hand. Right now the model was Drunk, on

866
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:48,240
Speaker 1: texas and it may very well be. This year but unlike,

867
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,919
Speaker 1: last Year maybe i'll ride with the model when it Comes.

868
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: To texas, this year they're over underwent totals nine and,

869
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 1: a half heavily juice towards. The over it does not

870
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: surprise me that they're taking a lot of over bet

871
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: right now In tech oh you in the meantime needs

872
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: the major. Bounce back texas been trending in the. Right

873
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 1: direction granted they're two years In, under stark they're only

874
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 1: one year In under, brenton Venables but vegas hung nine

875
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: and a Half on, Oklahoma two so they're looking at

876
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 1: both of them saying same win total and slightly better

877
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: Odds for texas to win. The conference texas is plus

878
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 1: one to ten OUs plus three to. Twenty Five but

879
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: oklahoma didn't have quarterback depth. Last year they've got. It

880
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: Now dylan, gabriel's there but They Got jackson arnold in

881
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: there as a. True freshman Won the elite eleven when

882
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: we were at there. Last year they play six of

883
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: the bottom seven teams In The big twelve in terms of,

884
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: preseason odds and of course They get Texas in dallas

885
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: and hoops, to Knows maybe i'll be at that game again.

886
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 1: This year big, turnaround needed some kind of. Turnaround expected

887
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: you also need to remember they have those four newcomers

888
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: this year takes a lot of getting. USED to I Know,

889
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: brigham young You Got, central florida You, got houston You.

890
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 1: Got cincinnati but where do they fit In you it's

891
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: one thing to know what conference, they're in but this is,

892
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: Always interesting like from the odds, maker's perspective how good

893
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:17,399
Speaker 1: are they compared to the rest of. The conference where

894
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: are they slotting. Them, In well i'll tell you, Right

895
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: Now central florida has the seventh best odds to win.

896
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,319
Speaker 1: The conference they're tied for the seventh best odds to win.

897
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 1: The conference they are Tied With. Iowa state so this

898
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 1: is this is, not scientific but just to give you

899
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 1: an idea Of what. Vegas thinks They View central florida

900
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: about Equal With. Iowa state They View brigham young. At

901
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 1: eleven They put cincy at what tied, for Twelve and

902
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 1: houston the worst team in terms of odds in the

903
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: conference to start. The year so most of these newcomers

904
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: come in at the bottom of. The Conference central florida

905
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,280
Speaker 1: viewed to be around the middle part of. The Conference

906
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: central florida back to back nine. Win seasons they replace for,

907
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,760
Speaker 1: offensive linemen like that's the big question, for them Bringing

908
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 1: me young one of three teams in the conference TO

909
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: play Ou in texas since he has won twenty four

910
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: in returning production. This year so they got gutted. Pretty

911
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 1: thoroughly houston got ravaged by. The portal so it does

912
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: not surprise me that those are The numbers vegas putting next.

913
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,919
Speaker 1: To them, but nonetheless that is where the new kids

914
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: on the block there In the big twelve, are slotted

915
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:34,240
Speaker 1: and again you've got three teams with over underwin totals

916
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: of eight, or more And THAT'S texas Ou And kansas

917
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:42,879

00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:47,919
Speaker 1: Last Year director colin, was there so everyone was There

938
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: In niland Stadium when tennessee Took down bama for the

939
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 1: first time in a decade and. A half used to

940
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: be a huge rivalry and it can. Be again, but

941
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:01,720
Speaker 1: hey if you were college a you didn't know because

942
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: you've Just known. Bama domination and then all of, a

943
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: sudden you saw what that rivalry actually meant because you

944
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: saw the other team. Win IT and i had been

945
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,720
Speaker 1: talking to you guys all week About if tennessee, wins

946
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,480
Speaker 1: it you're gonna see something like you've never. Seen, Before

947
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 1: well tennessee, won it and you saw a scene like

948
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 1: you've never. Seen before the Scene In neeland stadium after

949
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: They beat alabama topped Any scene i've ever seen in

950
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:30,760
Speaker 1: a national, championship game which makes no sense to anyone

951
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 1: in any. Other sport but that's. College football saturday's in,

952
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: the fall that's. College football The third Saturday in october,

953
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: in particular is the name of. This rivalry and they

954
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 1: Played in tuscaloosa. This year i've been to Many A

955
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 1: tennessee alabama game, both venues but it's been a long

956
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 1: Time since i've been To A tennessee bama game Where

957
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 1: the bama crowd actually. Feared losing they'll feel that, this

958
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 1: year which adds the juice to the rivalry that, quite

959
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 1: frankly it had lacked over the past. Few years that

960
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:09,959
Speaker 1: alone is reason enough for me to put this game as,

961
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: one of if not the biggest circles ON the sec

962
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: schedule Of games i'm looking. Forward to i'm gonna go

963

964
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 1: before Bama. Plays tennessee. Week seven little off the, Radar

965
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 1: here Florida At. SOUTH carolina i told you is a

966
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 1: little off, The radar but you got to think ABOUT

967
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: what i, Care, About okay so you may value. Different

968
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:35,839
Speaker 1: things you may just load it up with a Bunch

969
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 1: of Bama, and georgia which. IS fine i care about

970
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 1: this GAME because i know the boat that both of

971
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 1: those staves. Are In So shane beemer is overachieved two

972
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 1: years in. A Row billion apier badly needs something to

973
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: sell to his fan base. This Year south carolina will

974
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 1: have already played a pretty. Meaty schedule they will have

975
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 1: Already Played. North carolina they will have already Gone to

976
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 1: georgia And, two tennessee but they'll be coming off a bye.

977
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: Week here florida. Will not and so whatever the, best

978
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,760
Speaker 1: version the most, battle tested best Version Of south, carolina

979
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 1: is we'll probably get it here and they get To

980
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,839
Speaker 1: host florida in this. Game, too florida on the, other

981
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 1: hand for all the consternation around this program and for

982
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 1: all the lack of hope around this team, this year

983
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: they don't have a murderer's row of a schedule to. Start,

984
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: out guys they Go to utah To start, week one

985
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 1: but then they also, have McNeice They, got charlotte They

986
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: got Kentucky and vandy early in. The year they Do have.

987
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: Tennessee there but there's, a chance especially if they pull,

988
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 1: one upset there's a Chance that florida either is just

989
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: they could just be better than. We thought they could

990
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 1: also be a. Little inflated so there are a couple of. Different,

991
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: scenarios now third is they could just have. Imploded already

992
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 1: but there's this first and second scenario that makes this

993
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,840
Speaker 1: game all of a sudden really. Really attractive and look,

994
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:04,799
Speaker 1: either way Man If billy napier wins that game or

995
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 1: he loses. That game if he wins, the game he

996
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: goes into the by happy and then they've Got the,

997
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 1: georgia game and all of, a sudden we get a

998
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: little hype behind. That one but if they, lose, it

999
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 1: yeah you Got The south. Carolina storyline but also it

1000
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:20,879
Speaker 1: would be very Sour, in gainesville. Very quickly Georgia. AT

1001
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 1: tennessee i cannot get too far down this LIST before

1002
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 1: i talk about. This game it's in. WEEK twelve i

1003
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:28,439
Speaker 1: got a stat. FOR you i put It on twitter,

1004
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 1: earlier today just even, within conferences to show you some of,

1005
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 1: the scheduling not, scheduling imbalance the. Division imbalance this is

1006
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: no Fault. Of georgia by, The way georgia plays one

1007
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 1: team all year with a preseason win total of over

1008
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 1: seven And. That's tennessee bama conversely plays four of the

1009
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 1: top thirteen teams in the country in terms of Title

1010
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: odds national. Title odds they play in the. Same conference

1011
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:59,320
Speaker 1: it's just crazy what side Of The chattahoochee river in

1012
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: which division play in and how different that makes things.

1013
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 1: For you so this Game is. Georgia's season they get

1014
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: to build up to it. All year it should be

1015
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 1: should be the only time that they're threatened by an

1016
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 1: opponent that could beat them if they PLAY their b.

1017
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: Plus game any other team That beats georgia Will need Georgia's.

1018
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 1: Help tennessee there is, a path Especially In, neeland Stadium

1019
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: where georgia brings It and tennessee still finds a way

1020
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 1: to win. The game Think the bama game last Year.

1021
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:33,879
Speaker 1: With tennessee can you? Replicate that is this that game

1022
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: this Year where tennessee bottles up what we Saw against bama.

1023
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:40,400
Speaker 1: Last year home Field plus georgia starting a new Quarterback

1024
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: Presumably carson beck could. Be fun we were at this

1025
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 1: game last YEAR and i know the final was twenty seven,

1026
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 1: to thirteen not nearly. That close just the Style that,

1027
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 1: georgia played not nearly. That close WHAT about Lsu? At

1028
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: alabama have you HEARD that Lsu beat bama? Last year

1029
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,760
Speaker 1: you guys. HEARD that i heard they did AND then i. Confirmed,

1030
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:06,280
Speaker 1: it yeah. They did these both they are, always rested

1031
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: so they always have a bye week before. This Game

1032
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:13,399
Speaker 1: brian Kelly Versus nick saban is rapidly increasing in terms

1033
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 1: of the profile on, that matchup as it should and

1034
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 1: also outside of JUST, the sec these are two of

1035
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 1: the top five teams in the country in terms of preseason.

1036
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 1: Title odds so what that game was for a long

1037
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 1: time and then it got lost for a couple, of

1038
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: minutes and then all of A sudden last year you

1039
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: see the. Upset happen maybe we get THE Classical lsu

1040
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: bama feel back to that rivalry again this year again

1041
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 1: to WIN. The sec this year the Odds Go, GEORGIA,

1042
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: Bama LSU texas A and m still has better Odds.

1043
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 1: Than tennessee by, THE way i know that stuns a lot.

1044
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 1: OF you i just had a really. Violent hiccup so

1045
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 1: that's that's. ANOTHER one i got another random one to throw.

1046
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 1: At YOU so i Thought Floridat south carolina was. Pretty

1047
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: random also in, week eight that's When ole miss Goes,

1048
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,320
Speaker 1: To auburn and for those of you who just, showed

1049
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 1: up lest, we Forget ole miss's Head Coach lane kiffin

1050
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: about Took the, auburn job he probably. Decided to and

1051
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,320
Speaker 1: then back to way. Last minute now They've Got hugh. Freeze.

1052
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 1: There allswell that. Ends well but that's one reason to.

1053
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:22,439
Speaker 1: Watch this the other reason it's a critical Division game

1054
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: auburn's offense in, week one who's to say what it.

1055
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: Looks like but this is, Week eight so by week

1056
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 1: eight we'll know on, both sides really we'll know what

1057
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 1: those offenses. Look like, and also these two teams each

1058
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 1: had top ten transfer, portal Classes and auburn has continued to.

1059
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: RACK up i think they're top five at. This point

1060
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: so this is that time of year where it gets

1061
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,800
Speaker 1: really dangerous because you started to formulate your opinions and,

1062
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: your predictions and the reality is there are a lot

1063
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: of players you've never seen play for these teams that

1064
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,879
Speaker 1: are going to be big, time contributors and they will

1065
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 1: ultimately decide how good these teams are. This Fall But

1066
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 1: ole Miss, at auburn The whole Kiffin Versus. Hugh Freeze

1067
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 1: Think hugh freeze his former team In. Ole miss that'll be.

1068
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:11,359
Speaker 1: Really good and a couple more really. JUST one i

1069
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,319
Speaker 1: have to always go to This ONE texas A and M,

1070
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: at Arkansas OR texas A and M. Versus arkansas so

1071
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 1: when my picture of this game in, MY head i

1072
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: always picture that neither of them has. PLAYED anyone i

1073
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 1: always picture it as the first, Big game but that's.

1074
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 1: NEVER true i don't know why my mind works. That

1075
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,799
Speaker 1: way so, this year, for Example it's week five when the,

1076
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: Game happens arkansas will have Already Played brigham young AND.

1077
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: At lsu amm will have already Played at miami And,

1078
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 1: versus auburn so they could be undefeated. And rolling both

1079
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:48,799
Speaker 1: of them can have, a loss both of them can have,

1080
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:52,920
Speaker 1: two losses could be some mixed bag, of that mismatch.

1081
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,880
Speaker 1: OF that i Guess what i'm trying. To say but

1082
00:56:55,920 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 1: here's the. Other thing until, further notice just ASSUME every

1083
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 1: A and m game is going to be close like

1084
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: this one was. Last year this is THE one i

1085
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 1: think where we had the bounce off the Upright and

1086
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: arkansas loses and then their season goes into a. Tail

1087
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: spin but as much attention as will be PAID on A,

1088
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 1: and m let's, also, Remember hey arkansas didn't have things

1089
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:21,439
Speaker 1: go the way they wanted to either. Last year and

1090
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 1: we've got to look at the portal editions. They've made

1091

1094

Speaker 1: which is the like, to me is in, my opinion

1123
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:13,360

1124
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 1: twenty four To seven sports is, number one you get

1125

1132
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 1: quite frankly some of the stuff that the team site

1133
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 1: guys can't report because they can't have certain people be mad. At,

1140
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 1: week because you got access just to, the board not

1202
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 1: in our Youth Knew florida state to. Be that, in

1203
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 1: fact the national championship picture for a long time felt

1204
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 1: Incomplete Without florida state's name. In there if you're in your,

1205
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 1: late twenties certainly thirties or forties, or fifties you Know

1206
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:39,600
Speaker 1: what i'm. Talking about but if you're in your early

1207
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:42,640
Speaker 1: twenties or your, late teens you don't. Know that, you

1208
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 1: know they had a year back in twenty thirteen where

1209
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:50,120
Speaker 1: they won, a title but by, and large, you know other,

1210
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 1: than that it started to, trend downward and that was

1211
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 1: more like a blip than anything in your mind when

1212
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 1: it comes to them as a national. Title contender but

1213
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 1: don't let people. Fool you whether You're A florida state fan,

1214
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:05,400

1215
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:07,720
Speaker 1: they've lied, to you and they've told you that the

1216
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: playoff has built this model where a few teams benefit

1217
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:13,640

1276
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:17,880
Speaker 1: the wrong side of. The fence if they drop the Game,
