And by 25 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 2: that I mean I was alone in my apartment doing 26 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 2: New York Times Tuesday crossword puzzles. Let's see. I cooked 27 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 2: a little bit, I did some laundry, some Sidoku. No tie, 28 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 2: that's crazy, that's international puzzling. I'm not ready for that. 29 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 2: So that's all that's going on right now in my life, gratefully. 30 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 2: So it's been low key. And actually when working on 31 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 2: nobody knows about this outside of Espionation and people that 32 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 2: are tight with Espianation.

Yeah, it is a 38 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: very cool idea, if I don't say so myself, and 39 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: I'm a little biased because you know, we're co host 40 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: and friends here, but it's a very cool idea. 41 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 2: Yes, So that'll be happening sooner rather than later in 42 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: the Espianation college football universe, so you'll keep your eyes peeled. 43 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 2: But other than that, tie, life has been good.

So 62 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: what are we doing today? 63 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 2: So we've got a theme episode. We've done this in 64 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 2: years past, sometimes during the season, sometimes during the off season, 65 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 2: and this is just a ten thousand and thirty thousand 66 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 2: foot view of figuring out if a team or situation 67 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 2: or something as it relates to college football is done 68 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 2: or not done. So and you might be saying to yourself, 69 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 2: why would Dan and or Tie ever say the word donzo? 70 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 2: What is grown men? 71 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: Right? What does that mean? 72 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 2: It is a word that our good friend, Kristin Cavaleri 73 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 2: very good fused, yes, very dear, dear friend married to 74 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 2: a former SEC football player Jay Cutler, uttered on the 75 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 2: now infamous show Laguna Beach. And we just figure out 76 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: if something is done Zoe or not done so. And 77 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: that is as simple as it is. But because it 78 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 2: is the off season, people have a wide array of 79 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,119 Speaker 2: topics that we need to deep dive and figure out 80 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 2: if they're done so or not done. So we've sometimes 81 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 2: had West Coast Kevin on he is not joining us tonight. 82 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 2: But I like the list a whole lot, And then 83 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 2: I think because people requested it, and it's it's pretty 84 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 2: personal to us. Near the end, our final Dunzo not 85 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 2: Dunzo will sort of tie into and we're not going 86 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 2: to declare it Dunzo or not Dunzo. But you know, 87 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 2: lot of bummery things happening around, happening around college football 88 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: media and people want to know what's going on. So yeah, 89 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 2: we'll do our best, but I mean we're we're on 90 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 2: the outside. 91 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: So again, Dunzo or not done. So it's a show 92 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: that we've done three times before. We didn't last year. 93 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: We're basically evaluating things that we view in the college 94 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: football world that are like just about couput like are 95 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: they there? Are they not there yet? If they are there, 96 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: if we think they're done, Zoe, that's the sound clip. 97 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: M hm, that's the sound clip. We're not gonna play 98 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: any sound if they're not done, Zoe. I'm not declaring 99 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: them anything. We're just saying they've got a stay of 100 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: execution to some degree. If you did see Laguna Beach, 101 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: you'll remember this song kind of lead in here set 102 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: some mood music. Dan. Yes, the why is the great 103 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: Hillary Duff. Okay, So what we did is we thought 104 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: up someone on our own. We also went out to 105 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 1: Twitter and asked if anyone out there had any suggestion. So, 106 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: you know, got a lot of what's a good one? 107 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,679 Speaker 1: Jim Mora? Right, what is Jim Mora? What's he doing 108 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: at UCLA? 109 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 2: Dan? How many wins does Jim Mora need to keep? Okay, 110 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 2: So we received are one hundredth question about Jim Morra's 111 00:05:54,279 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: job security, and honestly, it feels just like yesterday where 112 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 2: we received our first question of what he wins? Does 113 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 2: Jim more in need? What's Jim Moore's job security? Likely 114 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 2: you Josh Row's gonna help turn around this offense is 115 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 2: Jim Morris. We will not be talking about Jim Moore. 116 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 2: I just cannot. 117 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: We'll not be talking about Jim Moore. And we're also 118 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: going to try and veer away from some of the 119 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: stuff that we've discussed a lot this offseason. So think 120 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: of it less in terms of will Butch Jones be 121 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: Tennessee's coach beyond twenty seventeen, and more along the lines 122 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: of some of the bigger picture type stuff. Let's talk 123 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: about our first topic here, Dan, very first topic. I'm 124 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: not asking about Butch Jones. I'm asking about Chip Kelly. 125 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: And I'm asking is Chip Kelly going to be a 126 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: college football coach in the year twenty twenty, Gunzo or 127 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: not Donzo. 128 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 2: Let's go with Chip Kelly's college football coaching career in 129 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 2: the near so in the next two to. 130 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: Three years, next two to three years, a near term 131 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: college football coaching career in the near. 132 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 2: Term, I'm gonna say not done. So okay, explain not 133 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,239 Speaker 2: done so so here's here's my explanation. So Chip Kelly 134 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 2: will be at ESPN this fall. We know this. He's 135 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 2: doing studio stuff in Connecticut. He's not going to be 136 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 2: out on the road like Urban Meyer was when he 137 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 2: went to ESPN. He will be doing both college and 138 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 2: NFL stuff. I believe That's what I've been told for ESPN. 139 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 2: So we'll have a, you know, a hand in each 140 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 2: of those worlds. But I feel like, because this is 141 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 2: my feeling, his reputation in college is much higher right 142 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 2: now than it is in the pros, even though it's 143 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 2: taken a hit. I would say in both places, just 144 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 2: because he's been in the public eye. I'm thinking that 145 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 2: Tennessee will not be attractive to him. I don't think 146 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 2: Florida is going to open up. Texas A and M 147 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 2: might be, but I think he's more coastal minded it. 148 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 2: And I'm not going to talk about jimor Jmore's job security. 149 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 2: But if there were a job that opened up in California, 150 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 2: in Los Angeles and it would be CLA, that would 151 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 2: be the job. I will say within the next two 152 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: or three years. To next two or three years, chip 153 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 2: Kelly will have a non sec college football coaching job. 154 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: Let me ask you a hypothetical though, along those same lines, please, 155 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: Between Tennessee, Florida, and Texas A and m IF any 156 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: or all of those programs believed that they could hire 157 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: Chip Kelly tomorrow, how many of them would fire their 158 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: head football coach right now. 159 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 2: I don't think Florida would. I mean, Florida's won a 160 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 2: couple secees. I mean, there's some questions about recruiting, but 161 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 2: they finished quite strong this past signing day. They you know, 162 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 2: quarterback has still been an issue. Tennessee potentially, I. 163 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: Think tennes would do it. They would pull the trigger. 164 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, like I don't think Butch wants to be 165 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 2: there all that much. But yes, I think Tennessee would. 166 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 2: I think Texas A and M probably will. 167 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I think two of the three would probably 168 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: do it. I tend to agree with you. It's not done, though. 169 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: Chip Kelly is someone who I think has it woven 170 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 1: into the fiber of his being that he's a football coach. 171 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 1: The problem for him, as I know you know full well, 172 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: is there were aspects of being a college football coach 173 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: that didn't appeal to him. You want to do like 174 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: the booster stuff, the golf tournaments. He wanted to be 175 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: a football coach. He wanted to do X and O's stuff, 176 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: and at least to that degree, the NFL was a 177 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: better fit for him. His system did not translate to 178 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: the next level, but he still does have a very 179 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: good reputation among the college ranks. I would imagine there's 180 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of money floating around out there 181 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: for Chip Kelly in the relatively near term after he 182 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: gets through this one year stint with ESPN, there will 183 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: be teams who require and desire his services. So I 184 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: just I think there's too much coach still in him. 185 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: He's still a young guy. He will be back on 186 00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: the saddle before long. 187 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, imagine. One of the things that I think about 188 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 2: is like where he would want to be and what 189 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 2: type of situation, And so Oregon is sort of away 190 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 2: from the sort of mainstream you know, the South, the Southwest, whatever, 191 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 2: and the Midwest obviously is huge, and that the very 192 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 2: specific region you know, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, that 193 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 2: that sort of triangle in Michigan State too, a slightly 194 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 2: lesser extent after last year, but it seems like maybe 195 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 2: second tier in terms of attentions like the Larry Fedora 196 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 2: left North Carolina, that kind of thing where he could 197 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 2: just sort of slide in. He's not the main show. 198 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 2: It's a basketball school. That's the type of place I 199 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 2: could see him ending up and thriving. 200 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: Chip Kelly, not done, Zoe. When it comes to coaching 201 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: in the near term, it's moving. Let me stay on 202 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: the coaching side, Dan. Okay, this is a topic that 203 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: you and I have kicked around on occasion. We haven't 204 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: talked about it on the show too recently, but it 205 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: came up each of the last two years, specifically because 206 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: there was a Clemson Alabama national championship. There seems to 207 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: be a school of thought that, at some point in time, 208 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: because Dabo Sweeney went to Alabama, if Nick Saban retires, 209 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: perhaps he'd be interested in going back to his alma mater. 210 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: You have to assume that they would be interested in 211 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 1: bringing him over. But there seems to be a school 212 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: of thought out there. Maybe it's a wishful thinking that 213 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: Dabo would consider coaching Alabama. 214 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 2: So we'll frame it like this, five years of Clemson 215 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 2: career in the future for Dabo, Donzo or not done. 216 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 2: So Okay, Dunzo or not donez Dan not done. So 217 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 2: I think Dabo's locked in. I think Dabo's locked in, 218 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 2: and Alabama will go in a different direction. Once you 219 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 2: win a national championship somewhere, once you've built what he's 220 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 2: built at Clemson, you know, you can make a pretty 221 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 2: easy argument that the Alabama job is more prestigious. But 222 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 2: there have been many like, why would you ever ever 223 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 2: ever want to follow Nick Saban at Alabama? That just 224 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 2: seems Dabo's a smart dude. Dabo's a shrewd guy. He 225 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 2: knows very clearly what he's doing at this point. He's 226 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 2: a championship college football coach. Life. He's I think the 227 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 2: best modern Clemson coach. 228 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: Oh definitely. 229 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 2: I mean there's, you know, a ton of love for 230 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 2: Danny Ford and stuff like that, but in terms of 231 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 2: the modern Clemson era, he is in that whole region, 232 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 2: he is the best coach. So like mid Atlantic, you know, 233 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 2: Upper South what I don't know what region that is? 234 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 2: What am I talking about? But do not follow Nick Saban? 235 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 1: Do not. You don't want to be the guy that 236 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: follows the guy. Don't want to be the guy after 237 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: the guy. 238 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 2: I agree, Dabo's too smart. Too. 239 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: I agree with you the notion. I want to play 240 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: the sound. So I'm just going to say the notion 241 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: of him going to Alabama I think has done so 242 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: well that to me is done. So Okay, I don't 243 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: think he's leaving Clemson. Once you get the hardware, Yeah, 244 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: I think he and write his own ticket for as 245 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: long as he wants in Clemson, South Carolina. 246 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 2: I think who would be that person to leave Jimbo. 247 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: He's probably probably the favorite to get that job at 248 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: some point. Lord knows he's Florida with Alabama. He's used 249 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 1: Alabama to get a better contract. 250 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 2: And you know, you hear the whispers that there's an 251 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 2: itch that perhaps Tallahassee isn't scratching. 252 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: Perhaps he wants to get out of Tallahassee, you know, 253 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 1: for personal reasons or whatnot. Raw, I don't know. I'll 254 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: believe it when I see at Florida State. It's a 255 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: pretty good job. 256 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 2: It's a very good job. 257 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. Where are we going next? Dan? Let's play the music? 258 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:36,719 Speaker 1: Where were going next? Here? 259 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 2: Let's go here? Let's go with Oh god, I do 260 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 2: not like our options here, ty, I do not. Okay, 261 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 2: let's go with the big twelve over the next five years, okay, 262 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 2: is the Big twelve? And I will not have to 263 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 2: to reframe the question and the donzonis it's the Big twelve? Donzo, 264 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 2: it's in the next five years ten teams, is it? 265 00:13:58,960 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: Don So? Okay? 266 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 2: Yes, they flirt with a number of potential candidates this 267 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 2: past year before ultimately deciding not to expand back to 268 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 2: twelve or however many teams, and there's certainly attractive schools 269 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 2: out there for various reasons, both football and otherwise. Is 270 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 2: the Big twelve as they are trying to reshape TV, deal, 271 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 2: conference network, everything that goes along with being an alleged 272 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 2: major conference donezo within the next five years, I don't think. So, Okay, 273 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 2: you don't think teams will be scattering Texas and Oklahoma 274 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 2: off to the Pac twelve, et cetera, et cetera. 275 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: I don't. I think in order for that to happen, 276 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: you're not just talking about the Big twelve. You're talking 277 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: about a seismic shift in college football as a whole. 278 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: You know, you're talking about creating like a Pangaea Conference 279 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: with some sort of massive realignment taking place all throughout 280 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: the sport. I don't see that happening. I think they 281 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: will find a way to keep it somewhat solvent. I 282 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: am not the math wizard behind that plan, and so 283 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here and dot i's or 284 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: cross t's and tell you exactly how they get there. 285 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: But it just seems like a heavy lift for the 286 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: conference as a whole to dissolve. Now. Could Texas be 287 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: courted by the PAC Twelve, by the Big Ten, by anybody? 288 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 2: Yeah? 289 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: Absolutely. I just think there's too much there to keep 290 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: them where they're at and preserve the status quo. 291 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 2: I think the Big Twelve may be done though, whoa wow. 292 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 2: And I'm going to tell you why. It has nothing 293 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 2: specifically to do with where the Big Twelve is today 294 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen. It has something to do with the 295 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 2: fact that I think within the next five years we 296 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 2: are going to see chaos beyond college football, just in 297 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 2: terms of media rights as those deals start drying up. 298 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 2: And I think those rights deals are going to start 299 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 2: spreading thinner, not necessarily less money, but we're going to 300 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 2: be going across digital and traditional PLATF forms. If you know, 301 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 2: places like Google and Apple and Hulu and netflick, you know, 302 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 2: all these entities, Amazon step into the media, fray Apple 303 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 2: hired what Sony executives? Yeah, so I as money is 304 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 2: sort of getting wider. I think it becomes more difficult 305 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 2: for a place like the Big twelve to figure out 306 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 2: exactly what it wants to do. And I am just 307 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 2: betting on chaos. The fact that conferences with really good 308 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 2: TV deals like the Big Ten and the SEC are 309 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 2: making so much more money than Group of five schools, 310 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 2: a little bit more money than conferences like the ACC. 311 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 2: But who was about to get their own network a 312 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 2: new deal in the Pac twelve that I think the 313 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 2: divide is such that the structure of the sport is 314 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 2: going to have to change just because the money is 315 00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 2: so it's going in so many different directions, very different levels. 316 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 2: So I'm going to wager on chaos. And the Big 317 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 2: twelve is the least stable of the major conferences, so 318 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 2: I'm fine with saying that they're done. 319 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: So who knows what's going to happen in five, six, 320 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 1: seven years from now when it comes to consuming media. 321 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 2: Do you think the Big twelve has a product problem? 322 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: I think the problem with the product is that because 323 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: it has historically been offense offense, offense, people have difficulty 324 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: taking them seriously. 325 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 2: Ty, do you know last year as I look at 326 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 2: college football standings against AP teams AP ranked teams Big 327 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 2: twelve teams outside of Oklahoma, so West Virginia, Kansas State, TCU, Texas, 328 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 2: Texas Tech, Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, how many combined wins 329 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 2: they had against teams ranked in the apeople Is. 330 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: It a number between zero and one? 331 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 2: So that's how many teams? That's what's seven teams? Yeah, 332 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:04,479 Speaker 2: it is one. Wow, Baylor won one game against an 333 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 2: AP ranked team. The rest of the teams were If 334 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 2: my quick math works out, it looks like nine, fifteen, 335 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 2: twenty one. Oh for twenty one. Wow, it's not the greatest. 336 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 2: It's not the greatest. So they have a depth problem, 337 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 2: they have a perception problem. It's just it's not a 338 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 2: good time for this conference to be the least exciting 339 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 2: of the five. And maybe Texas it's a nice springboard. 340 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 2: Maybe Oklahoma with a new brand with Lincoln Riley. In 341 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 2: the long term, it'll be you know, stoops players and 342 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 2: obviously the current staff at least for the next year. 343 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 2: You know, Matt Campbell at Iowa State Kansas is improving, 344 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 2: so hopefully more depth moves forward. A lot of people 345 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 2: like to argue about the cyclical nature of college football, 346 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 2: but it sort of feels like quadruple right now, Okay 347 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 2: in terms of entertainment. 348 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: So you're saying Dunzel, I'm saying not done. 349 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 2: So I'm saying Donzo within I'll say six years. 350 00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 1: When? 351 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 2: So the TV contract is up twenty twenty three? 352 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: All right, where are we going next? 353 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 2: That's all I'm getting of the musical stab Well, I'm 354 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 2: going the short, okay, short version of coming clean. Okay, 355 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 2: We're gonna go with Nebraska Nebraska football. Yes, and we 356 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 2: will go with Nebraska threatening to win nine or ten 357 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,880 Speaker 2: games in a perennial way like they did under Bo Polini. 358 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 2: Now that we have a couple of classes of Mike 359 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 2: Riley and we are sort of seeing how the offense 360 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 2: and defense are now shifting. It's a new defensive coordinator 361 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 2: this year with Bob Diaco. It's a new quarterback Tanner Lee, 362 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 2: which has elicited a ton of different reactions without even 363 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 2: playing a game or starting a game from Nebraska. Is 364 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 2: Nebraska Donzo starting today late June as a team threatening 365 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 2: nine or ten wins every season? 366 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: So year in year out perennial contender for ten wins. 367 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 2: Yes, they go nine to four last year with the ball. 368 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 2: When they go six and three in the Big Ten, 369 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 2: they don't lose a game at home, two and three 370 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 2: on the road. Done, so. 371 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: I'm not fearing one. 372 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 2: Okay, why is that? 373 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: First Off, the Big Ten has gotten a lot better. 374 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: It's not just on the eastern side of the of 375 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 1: the conference, but there's enough money throughout the Big Ten 376 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: that you've got coaches like PJ. Fleck coming in the 377 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 1: West taking over Minnesota. For a while, the Big Ten 378 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 1: West has felt like the lesser of the two divisions 379 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: in that conference. I think gradually that will change. Gradually 380 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: they will equalize out a little bit, which will make 381 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: it a little bit more difficult for anyone to run 382 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: away with it. Well, because Nebraska inherently has some difficulty 383 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: attracting like top fight players. You know, it's always been 384 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: a difficult place to recruit to and I think if 385 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,479 Speaker 1: you now have more competition on that side of the division, 386 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: it makes it all the more difficult to contend and 387 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: perhaps ways he did years past. Beyond that, I'm not 388 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: totally sold on Mike Riley yet. Ten wins, knowing that 389 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 1: they've got Wisconsin on one side, knowing that they've got 390 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: at least three heavyweights on the other side of the conference, 391 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: depending on who they play in a given year, I 392 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: could see him getting the ten wins, But I'm not 393 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 1: going to sit here and tell you that in the 394 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 1: near term ten wins is a possibility for Nebraska year 395 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 1: in a year out, that just feels like a bridge 396 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 1: too far from me. 397 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, Nebraska has some nice pieces on defense. I'm not 398 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 2: a big fan of optimism about Tannerley coming in and 399 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 2: drastically improving the quarterback situation. Offensive skill talent is down 400 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 2: entering this season. You know, there's still some holdover pieces 401 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 2: that are interesting. But at this point, with how they 402 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 2: finished out the year, I think they combined for thirteen 403 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 2: or fourteen points combined in two of their losses at 404 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,959 Speaker 2: the back half or the last month of last season. 405 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 2: I just I'm not a big believer in Mike Riley 406 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 2: as upper echelon co in the year out. 407 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,959 Speaker 1: I mean, take take this year is a good example. 408 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: Wisconsin should be pretty good again, it should be pretty good. Iowa. Absolutely, 409 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,360 Speaker 1: I was always like, what seven or eight win team 410 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: and just following that category. At least Minnesota got a 411 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,479 Speaker 1: new coach, a lot of excitement there, they got, they 412 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: got a ways though. I would assume if Fleck's there 413 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: for an extended period of time, he will find a 414 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 1: way to build them up, get him at least to 415 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: a better point than they are right now. And they 416 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: went on and for last year. Overall, Northwestern this year, 417 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: as Bill Connolly pointed out, could be like a sleeper 418 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: Big Ten West contender. Sure should be pretty good this year. Illinois, 419 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: who knows about Illinois. 420 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 2: Illinois, It's not gonna be good. 421 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: Illinois is a mess. But Purdue just hired a new coach, 422 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 1: hired a good guy. 423 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 2: Ways to go. 424 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 1: So I'm just saying the level of coaching aptitude in 425 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,239 Speaker 1: the Big Ten West has I think gone up. 426 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 2: No, it definitely looks more entertaining. 427 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: Definitely more entertaining. 428 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, what about that Nebraska fans Dunzo or not Donzo 429 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 2: believing that they root for an A list program? 430 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: Oh, definitely not done. So okay, you know, I hate 431 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: to say that we have Nebraska people. Somebody asked us 432 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: why we hate Nebraska fans. We don't hate Nebraska Fansbrako, don't. No, 433 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: I don't. 434 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 2: I thought this show is founded on the very basic 435 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 2: principle that we hate Nebraska. 436 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 1: Nebraska people were so nice that I was taken aback 437 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: by it. 438 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 2: They're always very That's where I met a playboy playmate, Tailgating. 439 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: That's right. 440 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 2: I've always hold a special place in my heart and 441 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 2: on my wall. 442 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: All right, Dan, let me ask you this one. Okay, 443 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: mattress is not named Casper Dunze or not Donezo. 444 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 2: Completely donezo ty.

Tie yeah, right, So I can't 456 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 2: speak with authority about the comfort level. It is difficult 457 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 2: to get rid of mattresses in a large city, so 458 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 2: we have to like time it up with our building, 459 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 2: and they've we've been going back and forth with them 460 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 2: about the best time to get rid of it because 461 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,439 Speaker 2: you have to get like a special sleeve because of 462 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 2: bedbug concerns in New York in order to dispose of 463 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 2: a mattress properly. 464 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: I was under the impression that the responsible way to 465 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: dispose of a mattress was just to drive out in 466 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: the highway and throw it along the side by the guarden. 467 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 2: Not as not from understanding, that was not how New 468 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 2: York City works.

Nope, we don't 508 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 2: want to talk talk about the mattresses sticky, So go 509 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 2: get that good stuff, that good, good Casper. 510 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: We solicited a bunch of suggestions for this show out 511 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: on Twitter. What we're trying to do again is go 512 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: big picture. You're trying to talk about stuff that we 513 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 1: haven't discussed before in the past. 514 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 2: The spread offense as a unique offensive system. Donze non done. 515 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 2: So this is kind of loaded. So why do you 516 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 2: Why do you say, Donzel? Because the spread is not 517 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 2: defined as one rigorous set of principles. 518 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 1: Is it true? True? I just I kind of remember 519 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: when the spread was becoming a thing, because we started 520 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: doing the podcast back then. 521 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 2: True, when it sort of infiltrated the major programs. 522 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, when the spread was in vogue and it 523 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: could be utilized as like something that people hadn't seen before, right, 524 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 1: That was a much much different day and age. Now 525 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: everyone's using some form of the spread or some concepts 526 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: they're borrowing from it. It's not like this new thing 527 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,199 Speaker 1: that people haven't seen before that they can't game plan for. It. 528 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: Certainly can be difficult if you're going from like Navy 529 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: one week to Oregon the next, but by all arge 530 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: people people know what this is. So to call it 531 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: a unique offensive system at this stage in the game, 532 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: I can't go that far. There are definitely wrinkles within it, yeah, 533 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: that make it interesting, that make it entertaining. If you 534 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: would have asked, is it's still entertaining? That's definitely not donezo. 535 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: I love watching a good spread offense, but as a 536 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: unique system that's done so. 537 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 2: So there have been elements of what we consider to 538 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 2: be the spread going back decades, sure, and wrinkles throughout time. 539 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 2: And whether it's the zone read, whether it's running inverted 540 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 2: veer stuff, whether it's flexbone, which is my favorite new 541 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 2: term in college football. You know, you look back to 542 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,239 Speaker 2: Kentucky when Mike Leach was there running that offense. They 543 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 2: were running a ton of air raid principles with Tim 544 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 2: Couch and what he was doing at Texas Tech predates 545 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 2: obviously what we did when we started the show, and 546 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 2: Urban Meyer was developing stuff at Bowling Green and Utah 547 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 2: and Florida and having success there. So now that you 548 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 2: watch college football and you see teams even like Alabama Stanford, 549 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 2: Stanford runs the inverted veer. Stanford runs zone read concepts 550 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 2: with traditional drop back type quarterbacks that also happen to 551 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 2: be mobile. Andrew Luck and Kevin Hogan, guys like that. 552 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 2: We saw what Jalen Hurts did at Alabama this year 553 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 2: as they sort of poorted their offense into having principles 554 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 2: of spread. So there isn't a team in America that 555 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 2: I can think of that doesn't do something in a 556 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 2: spread fashion. So I would say, without hesitation, the spread 557 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 2: as a unique offensive system is completely dead. The spread 558 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 2: offense is offense right now. Even with Stanford lining up 559 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 2: under the under center ninety three percent of the time 560 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 2: in like jumbo packages and stuff like that, Stanford football 561 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 2: isn't defined by only that. So I would say it's 562 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 2: impossible to be a successful Power five program at this point. 563 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 2: And you can go back to Joe Tiller, and he 564 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 2: was spreading the ball out at Purdue with his system. 565 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,719 Speaker 2: It's impossible to be a team like this without having 566 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 2: some sort of element of the spread. In twenty seventeen, 567 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 2: I defy anybody to name one who doesn't include parts 568 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 2: of what we consider to be the modern spread into 569 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 2: their system. 570 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: The real world comparison here would be when Facebook opened 571 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: itself up to parents. Yeah, you know, when parents were 572 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: able to get on Facebook, then you knew it's like, Okay, 573 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: this is no longer a secret society. This is now 574 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 1: a thing that's going to go mainstream. 575 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 2: I may be one of the last. Both my parents 576 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 2: tie not on the book, really both not on the 577 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 2: book and lead such happy lives. 578 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: I could see your dad having interesting comment wars on Facebook. 579 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 2: My one of my brothers does. But my dad is 580 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 2: has steered clear and is happy about it. So yeah, 581 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 2: it's it's almost to the point where like a trendy restaurant, like, 582 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 2: are you a trendy restaurant anywhere in America that doesn't 583 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 2: serve Brussels sprouts? You know that kind of like you 584 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 2: might not serve Brussels sprouts, but you've got some sort 585 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 2: of vegetable small plate that's shareable Okay, should we share 586 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 2: some grainbians? Should we know? Should we share some some 587 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 2: mushroom fries? 588 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 1: I'm with you. 589 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 2: I'm with you, so you might not be a Brussels 590 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 2: sprout restaurant. Tie should probably have some sort of version 591 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 2: of sprouts. 592 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: All right, let's do one more here, Dan, Okay, one 593 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: more here, and then we can move on and talk 594 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: about some other stuff.

We appreciate their help and getting 599 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: the bubble on there. Probably in the next week or so, 600 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: so stay tuned. We'll send that out via the newsletter 601 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 1: at some point in the near future. This one I 602 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: found interesting, okay, and you know, it's something that we've 603 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: discussed here and there, but it's just interesting to me. 604 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: I love the word and it came in via Twitter. Okay, 605 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 1: is it done so or not Donezo Stanford as the 606 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: neighborhood bully. 607 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 2: I'm not sure what this means. I'm gonna be quite honest. 608 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: It's also to interpretate. So here's what I think it means. Okay, 609 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: you can tell me what it means to you, But 610 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 1: what it means to me is Stanford in recent years 611 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: has taken on this persona of just a team that's 612 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: going to go out there, line up opposite you and 613 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: just beat your brains in, beat your brains in. H 614 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: And you know, the neighborhood bully thing might have a 615 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: negative connotation in a college football sense. It's kind of 616 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: cool just to know that there's a super physical team 617 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: out there. But I guess the question is asking, perhaps 618 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: due to turnover, perhaps due to the fact that everyone 619 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: knows they've been the neighborhood bully, the Stanford still have 620 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: that reputation? Is it still preserved? Is it Dunzo or 621 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: not done so? 622 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 2: So, No, it is nowhere near Dunzo as Stanford having 623 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 2: that narrative of being the neighborhood bully because they keep 624 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 2: signing the best offensive lineman in the country. Now and 625 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 2: if your reputation is lining up as many large humans 626 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 2: as possible and using those large humans to obliterate the 627 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 2: spleens of everybody in front of them, and you keep 628 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 2: getting the best guys doing that, No, and I like 629 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 2: that they play to an identity. I love that. I 630 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 2: love that Stanford arguably one of the places with the 631 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 2: lowest floor as a program, just because of the difficulty 632 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 2: in getting players to Stanford that are of high quality 633 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,359 Speaker 2: both on the field and in the classroom, and can 634 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 2: get into the school with like a three five or 635 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 2: a three a GPA, whatever you need as a football 636 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 2: player to get in, the fact that they have sustained 637 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,439 Speaker 2: success Like David Shaw. If he were at any other 638 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 2: like if Stanford were in the SEC, and he was 639 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 2: sustaining this level of success, everybody would be fawning over 640 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 2: him year in and year out. But the fact that he's 641 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 2: in a quiet place in northern California, away from the 642 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,760 Speaker 2: heartbeat of college football. He just sort of lives his life, 643 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 2: plucks the best quarterbacks, plucks the best tackles, hires really 644 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 2: good assistance, and goes at winning ten games even in 645 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 2: down years like they did last year. It's incredible. 646 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,320 Speaker 1: If I go back to twenty twelve Dan Stanford twelve wins, 647 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: twenty thirteen Stanford eleven wins, twenty fourteen Stanford with only 648 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: eight wins, eight lowly wins. But then I go to 649 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen Stanford twelve more wins. Last year, Stanford started 650 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: off kind of looked Rocky still found a way to 651 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 1: get to ten wins, won their last six games. There's 652 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,720 Speaker 1: no way possible this team is not still the neighborhood Bully, 653 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 1: not still capable. I think you're right to point out 654 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: they might have a lower floor than many other programs 655 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 1: out there. The fact that they're able to do what 656 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: they've done to have this level of success, given the 657 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 1: fact that it's an institution that prides itself so deeply 658 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 1: on its high academic standards that at other places that 659 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 1: would definitely be a barrier. Yes, and one other one here. 660 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: Actually we're not going to play the music for this one, 661 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: but you may have heard the Audible podcast. 662 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 2: Yes, our pals might. 663 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 1: Have heard the most recent Audible podcast from our friends 664 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 1: Bruce Felman Stuart Mandel to common guests on the Solid Verbal, 665 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,839 Speaker 1: they had some sad news that it's likely the end 666 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 1: of the Audible due to some strategic shifts that are 667 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: going on at Fox Sports and foxsports dot Com. On 668 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 1: the heels of that, we receive some questions via Twitter 669 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 1: the email about what is what does this mean? Kind 670 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: of in the context of the Dunzo not Dunzo show here, 671 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 1: not to try and make a joke out of this 672 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 1: by any stretch, but the question is not so much 673 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,280 Speaker 1: Doneo or not Donzo, but where's college football journalism, where's 674 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,840 Speaker 1: college football podcasting? Where is this whole sports media thing headed? 675 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 1: In light of some of this news, there was more 676 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 1: news today that some other friends at other websites have 677 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: been let go. So this has been a recurring theme 678 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. Dan, you're in the 679 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: in the media business as a day job and not 680 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,319 Speaker 1: so my serious day job. What's going on here? 681 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 2: It's a wonderful question, Ty, Yeah, Bruce and Stu have 682 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,840 Speaker 2: always been I mean, you're listening to the solid verbal 683 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 2: in no small part because Bruce and Stu early on, 684 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 2: we're generous with their time and we're great on the 685 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 2: show along with people at other entities. But it's such 686 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 2: a bummer to see this, and we tweeted that yesterday. 687 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 2: But you know, Bruce and Stu, and you know, Stu 688 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,760 Speaker 2: has been a mainstay of just sort of big picture 689 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,319 Speaker 2: college football for years and years, both at s I 690 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 2: and Fox and Bruce and breaking stories and doing sideline 691 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 2: stuff and features and writing books. Like these are Titans 692 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 2: and to see this happen at Fox with If you 693 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,919 Speaker 2: haven't read the piece at Awful Announcing, you should read 694 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 2: it and try to keep a level head because it's 695 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 2: sort of infuriating, especially if you care about you know, 696 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,879 Speaker 2: college football or sports media or whatever, because a lot 697 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 2: of good people are affected, and this is something that 698 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,800 Speaker 2: we all look at sort of you know, big pictures, 699 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,319 Speaker 2: like a hobby of something we love. But it does 700 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 2: suck to see, especially for reasons that are still not 701 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 2: super clear to me, like they just obliterated. If you 702 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 2: go to Fox sports dot com right now, and Fox 703 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 2: sports dot com is where you got your start, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, 704 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 2: way back when, back in the day. Yeah, it is 705 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,839 Speaker 2: all clips of TV shows. 706 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 1: It's an interesting digital strategy. 707 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 2: Perhaps like a creative graveyard. 708 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,760 Speaker 1: I could talk at length, perhaps not in this forum, 709 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 1: but in another one about the digital strategy or at 710 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,839 Speaker 1: least the attempt at a digital strategy there. But as 711 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 1: it relates to college football. 712 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 2: And yeah and the audible and yeah, I mean this. 713 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: Has been a theme. There's been something that's been going on. 714 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,880 Speaker 1: A lot of good people have been have been losing 715 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 1: their jobs, and so it's probably a fair question to 716 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 1: ask where's it where's it all headed? There's no denying 717 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,400 Speaker 1: the fact that it's a very difficult business model to solve, 718 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: very difficult business model to solve. Publishing as a whole 719 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: has definitely seen a downturn. 720 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 2: And when you have these places that are TV networks 721 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 2: and magazines and websites and they have sort of hands 722 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,200 Speaker 2: and all sorts of buckets that are all sort of 723 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 2: coming into the same pool, it becomes very difficult to 724 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,719 Speaker 2: sustain and figure out identity and where you should be going. 725 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 2: And you have a ton of different cooks in the kitchen. 726 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 2: And you know, we saw everything affected at ESPN a 727 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,839 Speaker 2: few weeks a few months ago. You know our pals there, 728 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,759 Speaker 2: you know, Brett McMurphy, Chantel Jennings, Ted Miller. These are 729 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 2: all people we read and love all the time. And 730 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,839 Speaker 2: that's not weird that phrasing, now that I listened back, 731 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:43,360 Speaker 2: tie was not ideal. But Lindsay Schnelletts Sports Illustrated and 732 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 2: she was doing a podcast with our palle Andy Staples. 733 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,279 Speaker 2: We love Lindsay, We love you know our people at 734 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 2: SI and it's just it's a tough thing to crack, 735 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 2: and you hate to see it. And anybody that tells 736 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 2: you that they know where media is going, they they 737 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 2: have figured it out, they have solved it. This is 738 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 2: how they've cracked the riddle. They're just they're just full 739 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 2: of blockbuster. 740 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 1: Had the media rights figured out too exactly for a 741 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 1: period of time. 742 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:13,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, our friends at Bleacher Report. 743 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, so things are changing. I would hope that there 744 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 1: would be strong independent publishers that would pop up that 745 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: would value the kind of fine work these friends of 746 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: ours have done, yeah, and would offer them shelter where 747 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:32,760 Speaker 1: they could do their work. 748 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 2: What's interesting, And I think it was Brian who told 749 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,920 Speaker 2: me this this morning at work, Ryan Nanny, that you 750 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,359 Speaker 2: have places like Fox who are rights holders now not 751 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 2: really writing about the sports that they like. Is the 752 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,760 Speaker 2: PAC twelve going to be happy that foxsports dot com 753 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 2: doesn't write about sports, that ESPN dot com is writing 754 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 2: a lot less about sports, the SEC happy that ESPN 755 00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 2: dot com employees fewer college football writers even though there's 756 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,320 Speaker 2: still a ton there that they're not covering the sports 757 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 2: in the same way, but yet paying all this money 758 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,040 Speaker 2: and it's it's not going to be a great situation, 759 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,840 Speaker 2: which is why we talked earlier about the Big twelve 760 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:15,160 Speaker 2: and chaos and media stuff. But it's rough. And anybody 761 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 2: that works in this industry, anybody that has tried to 762 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 2: work in this industry, knows that there are a finite 763 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,720 Speaker 2: number of jobs and there are way more talented people 764 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,560 Speaker 2: than there are jobs. Yeah, and it's tough. 765 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,719 Speaker 1: Just again thirty thousand foot view. As digital strategy goes, 766 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,360 Speaker 1: things are headed in a much more video centric direction. 767 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,800 Speaker 1: There's no denying that the problem is you need videos 768 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,040 Speaker 1: that people want to watch. You have to sell ads 769 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 1: against those videos. 770 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 2: Big picture as well, people are worse off than people 771 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 2: losing jobs in sports media and that's cool. I mean 772 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 2: that's not cool, but that's you know, that's something we 773 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 2: also realize. But this is the medium we're in. And 774 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 2: something that I also recognize is I don't think we 775 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,000 Speaker 2: ever like stew and Bruce with the Audible, Lindsay and 776 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 2: Andy with Campus Rush, like I don't. I never viewed 777 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,759 Speaker 2: them as competition, like they're our competition is people doing 778 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,359 Speaker 2: things with their time other than podcasting. Yeah. 779 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 1: I was for podcasts to be perfect exactly, So the 780 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:13,320 Speaker 1: more the merrier. 781 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:18,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. So people that bring listeners to the medium is 782 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,400 Speaker 2: who we're fans of. So we're positive Bruce and Stue 783 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 2: will land in a good place where we're hopeful that 784 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 2: college football podcast, sports podcast, college sports podcast we Love 785 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,840 Speaker 2: you know shut down full cast and podcasting played nobody 786 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,719 Speaker 2: and all sorts of people in the space succeed grow. 787 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 2: It's good for everybody. It's just it's tough to see 788 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:42,240 Speaker 2: for such stupid reasons. Well, for such stupid I wish. 789 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,799 Speaker 1: I wish Bruce and Stu and many other friends who 790 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,360 Speaker 1: have had to go through this all the best. Yeah, 791 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,279 Speaker 1: it's it's tough to watch. You hate to see it, 792 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,239 Speaker 1: and you don't wish on anybody and any in any 793 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,480 Speaker 1: profession for sure, But yeah, you know, we wish them 794 00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:58,759 Speaker 1: well and hopefully we can talk to them soon.

So you own 833 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,400 Speaker 2: a grill. You've been growing a lot. We've got a 834 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,120 Speaker 2: couple of questions here. Somebody asked about, like the best 835 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 2: electric grill. I don't have much help for that. Yeah, 836 00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,480 Speaker 2: I don't, just because apartment complexes don't always allow for 837 00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:01,520 Speaker 2: charcoal or gas. Here is good question, ty, Yeah, the 838 00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:05,920 Speaker 2: best sausage for grilling? Okay, tell me about your sausage loves. 839 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,879 Speaker 1: Another weird phrasing, Dan, Thanks, I stand by that one. 840 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,239 Speaker 1: It's what you do best, so thank you. I like 841 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 1: the hot Italian turkey sausage. Yeah, hot Italian turkey sausage 842 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,440 Speaker 1: grillers that you can buy. Wegman's has a fantastic variety 843 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,319 Speaker 1: of these. Can you do a lot with it? 844 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,640 Speaker 2: Hot Italian sausage, whether you like pork or turkey or 845 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,279 Speaker 2: chicken or whatever, is always good. Best sausage I've ever 846 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,600 Speaker 2: had in my life. I think was beef sausage and 847 00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:36,640 Speaker 2: Texas like Jlapeno beef sausage. If you can get a 848 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:41,120 Speaker 2: hold of that, like Texas style barbecue sausage, that is outstanding. 849 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,360 Speaker 2: Maybe some hot mustard, some grilled peppers and onions, that's cats. 850 00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:46,560 Speaker 1: There is spicy mustard by the way, and we've talked 851 00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:47,759 Speaker 1: about on the show. Oh. 852 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:48,360 Speaker 2: Absolutely. 853 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,880 Speaker 1: That was something that I discovered only a summer or 854 00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,680 Speaker 1: two ago while eating a sausage sandwich, and it changed 855 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 1: my life. 856 00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,640 Speaker 2: I would say, if you want to grow Mexican, I 857 00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,600 Speaker 2: would look up roy I c h o I roy 858 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,840 Speaker 2: CHOI carne asada and his marinate with like roasted tomatoes 859 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,000 Speaker 2: and cilantro. It's a little bit Asian, it's a little 860 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,960 Speaker 2: bit Mexican. It's the best marinade that exists, the recipe 861 00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:14,200 Speaker 2: for that. My final thought is this ty because people 862 00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,759 Speaker 2: are going to keep it basic and straightforward and for 863 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,120 Speaker 2: good reason on July fourth, and they're gonna make burgers 864 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,640 Speaker 2: and dogs. This is my big tip, big tip. Actually 865 00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,040 Speaker 2: I have a double tip for burgers. 866 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:24,640 Speaker 1: Double tip. 867 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:30,879 Speaker 2: Okay, one American cheese. Don't I don't care for your jack, 868 00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:32,839 Speaker 2: I don't care for your cheddar. Wow, I don't care 869 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:37,560 Speaker 2: for your Swiss. Those are all fine cheeses. Hot for burgers, Yeah, 870 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:41,920 Speaker 2: for burgers. I'm an American cheese man. It gets gooey, 871 00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,719 Speaker 2: it's it's just the top of the top for me. 872 00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,080 Speaker 2: That's my opinion. I would recommend it. Everybody's probably had 873 00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:52,280 Speaker 2: that by now. Number two though, is get a recipe 874 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:57,239 Speaker 2: and scan recipes online for burger sauces like variants of 875 00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:00,760 Speaker 2: Thousand Island kind of thing. You're mixing may and ketchup 876 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,680 Speaker 2: or serrachia and a little bit of lemon juice and 877 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:06,000 Speaker 2: some seasoning, maybe some finely dice pickles in there. 878 00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:07,920 Speaker 1: Maybe some guy fiery donkey sauce. 879 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,040 Speaker 2: Right, don't do that. Don't do that. No, I think 880 00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:11,640 Speaker 2: it's just al. I think that's just like a male 881 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:15,680 Speaker 2: but maybe a middle mustard in there. You mix all 882 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,240 Speaker 2: those together, slather them on both sides of the bun. 883 00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,719 Speaker 2: It's I it boggles my mind why people aren't making 884 00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:26,840 Speaker 2: burger sauces for their burgers. It brings everything out, creamy, salty, whatever, tangy, 885 00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:28,879 Speaker 2: A little bit of a dobo sauce if you want 886 00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:30,239 Speaker 2: in there from can chipotles. 887 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,440 Speaker 1: Okay up, yes, no idea what that is. But it 888 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:34,240 Speaker 1: sounds delightful. 889 00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:38,240 Speaker 2: Can chipotles so like canned Mexican pepper is the sauce 890 00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:39,480 Speaker 2: therein is called in a dobo. 891 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:45,880 Speaker 1: I knew that Adobe made a dobo and that it 892 00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,840 Speaker 1: used to be a form of a house that American 893 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,400 Speaker 1: Indians built, but I was not aware of the sauce. 894 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,280 Speaker 2: Sure, it's like it's a mix of just like tomato 895 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,120 Speaker 2: sauce and vinegar and garlic and stuff like that. But 896 00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 2: it takes the heat of the chipotle is very nice. Interesting, Yeah, interesting? 897 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,560 Speaker 2: Is that is my recommendation roy CHOI for a carne 898 00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,640 Speaker 2: asada marinade, and then look up husk sauce husk like 899 00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,680 Speaker 2: the restaurant in Charleston and Nashville for a burger sauce. 900 00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:10,920 Speaker 2: Those are my big recommendations in American cheese. 901 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 1: If I said, Dan, now talk for twenty straight minutes 902 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,000 Speaker 1: about this, you could. You could do it without any 903 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:18,200 Speaker 1: assistance from me whatsoever. 904 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,600 Speaker 2: I would start talking about shred your iceberg lettuce as 905 00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:22,920 Speaker 2: finely as possible. 906 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,160 Speaker 1: And I don't mean that in a derogatory way. It's 907 00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:26,239 Speaker 1: a scout, absolutely not. 908 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,319 Speaker 2: It comes to food, you want to butter up your 909 00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,160 Speaker 2: buns and throw them on the grill for a few seconds. 910 00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,520 Speaker 2: Who doesn't I think that's a great idea. I'm also 911 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:35,480 Speaker 2: going to throw this in TI, because you got me 912 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:39,480 Speaker 2: all worked up. Okay, eighty twenty is your ideal ratio 913 00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:43,359 Speaker 2: for beef. Get some fat in there, Okay. You want 914 00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,040 Speaker 2: to get some flavor, you want to get some crust, 915 00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 2: you want to get some oozing. Eighty twenty is the ratio, 916 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,400 Speaker 2: all right, don't settle for anything leanter Come. 917 00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,800 Speaker 1: On, speaking of beef, we'll close out with this, okay. 918 00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,279 Speaker 1: I have eight ounce file at grilling instructions for anyone 919 00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:58,239 Speaker 1: who might be interested. 920 00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:01,720 Speaker 2: You're preferred cut of steak? 921 00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,040 Speaker 1: I like a good filet. Yeah. I don't like a 922 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,279 Speaker 1: lot of gristle on my steak. Okay, some people like that. 923 00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:11,920 Speaker 1: I just I prefer the clean eating of the filet. 924 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,400 Speaker 2: Oh, that's fine, Okay. I don't like steak enough to 925 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,400 Speaker 2: have strong steak thoughts. I like rabbis, but you know, 926 00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:20,640 Speaker 2: I've had good cuts of steak of all kinds. 927 00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,160 Speaker 1: I'm not like a pure carnivore, you know. I don't 928 00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,759 Speaker 1: need a steak a week or anything, but like a 929 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,520 Speaker 1: good steak every now and again. And as someone who 930 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,720 Speaker 1: is a new grill owner. I've taken it very seriously. 931 00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:33,480 Speaker 1: How to cook a steak? 932 00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:34,879 Speaker 2: What's your basic methodology? 933 00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:37,360 Speaker 1: So let me tell you how I got this. Okay, 934 00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,919 Speaker 1: it's not like a family recipe or anything like that, 935 00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:45,360 Speaker 1: but I quite literally stood behind and took copious notes 936 00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,439 Speaker 1: as my father in law cooked one of the best 937 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:51,000 Speaker 1: steaks I've ever had in my life. H eight ounce 938 00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:54,200 Speaker 1: steak grilling instructions. Here's how he does it, all right. 939 00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:56,360 Speaker 1: He might get angry if he finds out that I 940 00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:00,759 Speaker 1: told the world this, but there's not any real secret here, right. 941 00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:02,720 Speaker 1: The secret is a seer burner. 942 00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:06,400 Speaker 2: Okay, I don't even know what a seer burner. 943 00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:08,560 Speaker 1: Burner is, just a burner that gets real hot on 944 00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,359 Speaker 1: the grill. Oh okay, yeah, you can see her using 945 00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,480 Speaker 1: any any number of different ways, but of course, yeah, 946 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,440 Speaker 1: he does a one minute sere on one side, then 947 00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:19,440 Speaker 1: he flips it over, does another one minute here on 948 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:23,320 Speaker 1: the other, and he turns the seer burner off, moves 949 00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:27,239 Speaker 1: the stake to another burner that's going it like high 950 00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:28,120 Speaker 1: or medium high. 951 00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,040 Speaker 2: Okay, usually high, so direct heat. 952 00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:34,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, direct heat. Leaves that on for seven minutes, flips 953 00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:38,120 Speaker 1: it over again, cooks it for another four and then 954 00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:39,680 Speaker 1: pulls it off. Then you gotta let it set for 955 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:43,800 Speaker 1: a little bit. You have to, you know, like ten minutes. 956 00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:47,120 Speaker 1: Maybe I'll continue to let it cook. I'd be curious 957 00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:48,799 Speaker 1: to hear from other folks how they cook an eight 958 00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:52,000 Speaker 1: ounce full a but that's the reverse. Yeah, that's been 959 00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:56,000 Speaker 1: my methodology in the past, and certainly as we now 960 00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:58,320 Speaker 1: get into college football and tailgating season. 961 00:50:58,840 --> 00:50:59,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. 962 00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,200 Speaker 1: My hunch is that's someone will take exception to what 963 00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:01,880 Speaker 1: I just described. 964 00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:05,319 Speaker 2: But be curious to ask you this more opinion. May 965 00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,959 Speaker 2: I ask you this? It gets cold in eastern pa 966 00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,400 Speaker 2: very the winter times, so much so that you probably 967 00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:12,520 Speaker 2: don't want to be outside growing. 968 00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,680 Speaker 1: No, but I've done it. I've done it at Christmas time. 969 00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:19,120 Speaker 2: Will you mess around with like a cast iron skillet? 970 00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:21,080 Speaker 2: Because I think you should. They're one. 971 00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:22,200 Speaker 1: I would, I would consider it. 972 00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:24,400 Speaker 2: I'm open you should get yourself one. 973 00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:26,080 Speaker 1: I'll be open to it.
