WEBVTT - Postseason Mailbag

0:00:02.040 --> 0:00:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the solid Verbo. I'll that for me. I'm

0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:09.680
<v Speaker 1>a man, I'm forty. I've heard so many players say, well,

0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I want to be happy. You want to be happy

0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:16.040
<v Speaker 1>for Dake Edith State? Is that woo woom? And Dan

0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:17.120
<v Speaker 1>and Tye.

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:21.400
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to the solid verbal boys and girls.

0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:23.360
<v Speaker 1>My name is ty Hill, the brand joining me as all.

0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:28.160
<v Speaker 2>It's over there in beautiful, albeit blustery and chilly New

0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:28.800
<v Speaker 2>York City.

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:32.600
<v Speaker 1>My man, Dan Ripperstein, Sir, how are you? I'm good,

0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:35.200
<v Speaker 1>but I'm a little bit wistful. Not for the season,

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 1>although I am wistful for the regular season. But I

0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 1>believe it's one year ago this weekend that we went

0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:45.800
<v Speaker 1>to Fargo. Wow, has it been a year already? Well,

0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:50.519
<v Speaker 1>so Colgate beat James Madison in the first round, right right,

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.800
<v Speaker 1>even though North Dakota State I think, yeah, they had

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 1>to buy this year and then took down who Nichols

0:00:57.200 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>last week? Sure, I think this was the weekend. So

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 1>maybe this was the quarters or whatever it is of

0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 1>the se S playoffs that we attended. And it has

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:08.040
<v Speaker 1>been a year.

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I stand by the fact that that was the

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.399
<v Speaker 2>coldest I've ever been at a football game.

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Certainly certainly had a tail game. It had. It's totally

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>nice inside the Fargo Dome.

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 2>It was so cold outside, and everybody there was completely

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 2>unphased except for us.

0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 1>It's correct, that's correct, and we live in cold weather places.

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:31.839
<v Speaker 1>We had a terrific time. And I remember it because

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:33.920
<v Speaker 1>the attention of the college football world was, you know,

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:37.399
<v Speaker 1>somewhat on the game, because we were being tweeted, because

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:39.240
<v Speaker 1>our pal Kevin Brown was calling the game and made

0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:41.360
<v Speaker 1>mention to the solid verbal and coming were cargo.

0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 2>We were running the si dot com Instagram story account. Correct,

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 2>we were doing that. But outside I cannot put into

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 2>words how next level cold that was.

0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 1>It was, well, the thing it wasn't super windy, so

0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 1>it was just cold, don't I didn't find it unbearable.

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 1>But as as soon as you started mixing around with

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 1>people at North Dakota State, everybody's like, hey, you want

0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 1>a club sandwich. Everything's great. You want some bourbon cocktail

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.080
<v Speaker 1>that we've whipped up. Man, just another weekend here in Fargo,

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 1>and we're like, we are so soft, we are so

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.120
<v Speaker 1>very very soft. It was great, It was great.

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, thank you for bringing up that memory. You can

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:24.119
<v Speaker 2>go back on our website and listen to that whole escapade.

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 2>It was a lot of fun going out to Fargo

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 2>check out the Bison in person. In the interim though, Hello,

0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 2>welcome to the postseason. I'm Ty, He's Dan. This is

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.560
<v Speaker 2>the Solid Verbal. As we've been saying all year long,

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.079
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna be broadcasting through the off season.

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't mean we're going to stop.

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:46.080
<v Speaker 2>Might not broadcast quite as frequently, but that is to

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.679
<v Speaker 2>be expected. Over the next couple weeks, we're going to

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 2>be previewing all the bowl games, yes, and recapping and recapping.

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Not going to do that tonight. We're going to start

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 2>up this coming weekend. But suffice to say, there's a

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 2>lot of content that we have to get through as

0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:04.079
<v Speaker 2>we get you ready for bolseason. There is a bull

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 2>pick Them pool, Solid Verbal dot Com slash pick Them

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 2>or if you go to Solid verbal dot Com, there's

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:12.639
<v Speaker 2>big yellow banner at the top you can click through

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 2>and join it there. We'll also make sure we post

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 2>it on across We'll also make sure we post it

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.800
<v Speaker 2>across all of our social channels, but encourage everyone to

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.320
<v Speaker 2>get in on the action. It's a lot of fun

0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 2>on the Sunday Show. I think we'll unveil our separate

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 2>strategies for attacking a confidence pool, but would encourage everyone

0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 2>to subscribe if they haven't already.

0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I do really enjoy Bowl season, you know, for

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 1>as much attention as it gets as being a group

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 1>of exhibitions and not mattering, and it doesn't mean anything

0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 1>for the next season. It's football on TV when in

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of places it's very cold out and you

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.760
<v Speaker 1>might be spending time with people you're close to that

0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 1>you might not necessarily want to be close to. I

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>can't speak to that because I'm very fortunate, but I

0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 1>understand that for some people football and bowl games are

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:04.000
<v Speaker 1>a terrific escape. So let's let's all be in this

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 1>together and enjoy. Like the guests, Spotty, what do you

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 1>call the gas gas the gasparilla or the bad boy

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>mowers or whatever. Bowl, Let's all do it together and

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>have fun. I like it.

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:18.560
<v Speaker 2>As for tonight, though, Dan, Yes, tonight, we're gonna go

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:22.359
<v Speaker 2>through the mail bag as we are asked if people

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.559
<v Speaker 2>out there could send in questions. It's been a long

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.520
<v Speaker 2>time since we did a good, honest to goodness Q

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:30.200
<v Speaker 2>and a emptied out the mail bag really covered some

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:32.800
<v Speaker 2>ground so we're going to do that tonight. Figured the

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:34.919
<v Speaker 2>first show after the season is a good one to

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.000
<v Speaker 2>do that before we jump right back in this coming

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:42.080
<v Speaker 2>weekend and talk about all things bulls before we get there, though, Dan,

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 2>we have news.

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 1>We do all sorts of new coaching hires. I just

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 1>saw the most recent. Well, there were a couple of

0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.359
<v Speaker 1>recent ones. Steve Dazio to Colorado State, Willie Taggart to

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:04.919
<v Speaker 1>Fau Morris to become Auburn's offensive coordinator. Marcus Arroyo, Oregon's

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.880
<v Speaker 1>offensive coordinator, is now the head coach officially of the

0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:13.039
<v Speaker 1>UNLV Rebels. And who am I missing? Chip Long Notre Dame.

0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 1>They've gone their separate directions. It's a conscious decoupling, conscious decoupling.

0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:23.200
<v Speaker 1>I think that's accurate. Did we mention Ricky Ronnie officially

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.160
<v Speaker 1>taking the ODU job? We may have mentioned that on

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.560
<v Speaker 1>the think we did in Passing Yeah, on the last show.

0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:32.719
<v Speaker 1>But teams yeah, two and a half of our teams. Yes,

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.040
<v Speaker 1>So we're offensive coordinators. A lot to.

0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Come on that front, for sure. Who knows we'll have

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.479
<v Speaker 2>another surprise this coaching season. I suppose it's possible. But

0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.040
<v Speaker 2>in the interim, we've got a lot of coordinators on

0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 2>the move, and for sure we'll be talking more about

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.800
<v Speaker 2>the organ of Notre Dame jobs i'd imagine on this show.

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>And Penn State job. That's a really good job with

0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 1>how well the Nitney Lions have recruited, right for sure?

0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that they are going to when somebody

0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:00.760
<v Speaker 1>sort of asked this, I don't know if this will

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 1>go right into our Q segment before our a's but

0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 1>do you think they promote from within? Do you think

0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 1>James Franklin goes outside for some fresh eyes? What do

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 1>you think?

0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:14.960
<v Speaker 2>I would love for them to go outside. Okay, I

0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 2>would love to go outside the box a little bit.

0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 2>There's a dude from Slippery Rock whoa it's really deep

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 2>if you really want to dig deep in the hat.

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.280
<v Speaker 2>I forget his name. I should know his name because

0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 2>I've been reading about him all year.

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 1>But about whoever is running the Muhlenberg offense?

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, man, Actually, who's ever running the Muhlenberg defense might

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:36.360
<v Speaker 2>be the better play.

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 1>It's true. Benn State's defense I think is in a

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.280
<v Speaker 1>pretty good place. Not the best ever, but they're in

0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 1>a pretty good place.

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Pretty good place. James Franklin's got a pretty good track

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 2>record for going outside.

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Yes, he's going to outside. Speaking of going outside, Steve A.

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Dazio has never coached west of the Mississippi, and now

0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:56.800
<v Speaker 1>he is going west of the Mississippi. I just brought

0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:01.480
<v Speaker 1>up his his Wikipedia page. He to Central Connecticut, coached

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:05.560
<v Speaker 1>at Western Connecticut State, coached high school in Connecticut, Syracuse,

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.000
<v Speaker 1>to Notre Dame, to Indiana, to Florida, to Temple, to

0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Boston College, to Colorado State. Yeah, okay.

0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 2>I will say though that Bronco Mendenhall coming east of

0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:19.600
<v Speaker 2>the Mississippi and having the success he's had at Virginia

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 2>has opened my eyes a bit to that whole geographic

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:24.000
<v Speaker 2>argument that I know.

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 1>He oh yeahked, Well, I mean, Oregon has a coach

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:31.440
<v Speaker 1>who has almost exclusively coached in the Southeast at Askhama

0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:34.560
<v Speaker 1>and Miami and FIU and places like that. It's possible,

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:37.120
<v Speaker 1>but it's just it was thirty five years of me.

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 1>So that's a long time for an assistant principal like Steva.

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Does any any other noteworthy topics, Well, the Willie Taggart

0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 1>thing is notable because he's jumping to a good job,

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.280
<v Speaker 1>a job that's not a fixer upper. Like he's had

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 1>to do all these times as he gets new jobs,

0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.960
<v Speaker 1>and so hopefully he can just focus on maintenance rather

0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>than trying to fix a pro that's sort of been gutted.

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:06.120
<v Speaker 1>So I think I'm optimistic that FAU can keep succeeding. No, yes,

0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I think Willy Taggart's a good higher Yeah. So yeah.

0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Originally there were rumors that he was interested. Willy Taggart

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 2>was interested in his old job. USF don't know if

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 2>that interest was reciprocating. I'm guessing it wasn't because they

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:25.680
<v Speaker 2>hired Jeff Scott instead. Right, So Jeff Scott gets a job,

0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 2>he comes over from Clemson, Willy Taggart presumably looking for

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:30.920
<v Speaker 2>another job in Florida, he gets FAU.

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Right, not a bad gig, No, not at all. And

0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:36.800
<v Speaker 1>I think USF is probably looking to build something more

0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:40.280
<v Speaker 1>long term. And it's probably fair to assume that Willy

0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Taggart's track record indicates he's not necessarily a long term

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 1>guy win or lose. Now, he might have to be

0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 1>at this point. He might have to be at this point.

0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Not have a track record suggests that there might be

0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:55.720
<v Speaker 1>concern wherever he might have success. Also, Northwestern hires a

0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:59.440
<v Speaker 1>new offensive coordinator. This normally would not be huge news.

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.559
<v Speaker 1>Offense was so bad. It should be noted that they

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.480
<v Speaker 1>have not just hired a handyman. They've hired a general

0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:11.040
<v Speaker 1>contractor to come in and really get out all of

0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:14.600
<v Speaker 1>the warts and the termites. And there's a lot of

0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.839
<v Speaker 1>load bearing issues with the Northwestern offense that need addressing.

0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.160
<v Speaker 1>And Mike Bajakian but Jackie and I don't know how

0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:22.120
<v Speaker 1>he pronounced it. He was at Boston College, did a

0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:25.199
<v Speaker 1>good job improving the Eagle offense, did a good job

0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 1>and I know the Tennessee team wasn't great in twenty fourteen,

0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 1>but that offense was better in twenty fourteen than they

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.400
<v Speaker 1>were in twenty thirteen. So has a track record. I

0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 1>think he was at Cincinnati before that and did a

0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:39.120
<v Speaker 1>decent job with their offense. So hopefully Northwestern can get

0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:43.560
<v Speaker 1>that deal back up to competence. Can't do any worse, right, No,

0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 1>it would. I mean I could imagine what a worse

0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:50.800
<v Speaker 1>offense would look like at a place that can attract

0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 1>decent enough talent. Yeah, I couldn't imagine. So here you go.

0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:59.040
<v Speaker 1>The only other thing that I have see about Jim Delaney.

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Maybe talk about it. Playoff, Dan, Jim Delaney will do

0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:04.840
<v Speaker 1>whatever his best for Jim Delaney. And you leave a

0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.520
<v Speaker 1>big ten team out of the playoff, even once like

0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:10.160
<v Speaker 1>has happened, then he will He is open. He said

0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:13.240
<v Speaker 1>something like, you know, I didn't like when they were computers,

0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 1>but I don't know if I like people either. Right, No,

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 1>he's just keeping his options open. Jim Delaney does not

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.000
<v Speaker 1>at all look like Robert Duvall. We've discussed this before.

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Jumbo Duval, though. I think he's bigger, isn't he Probably? Yeah,

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:29.559
<v Speaker 1>I think he's protein shake Duval. Whichever Duvall you prefer.

0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.280
<v Speaker 2>This one seems to be warming to the idea of

0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 2>an expanded playoff, which we knew was gonna come at

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.800
<v Speaker 2>some point. Let's be honest, whether you like it or not.

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.160
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that's the first question we could take because I

0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.320
<v Speaker 2>saw that one on that very topic.

0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Any other news before we jump in here. We have

0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:49.079
<v Speaker 1>Heisman finalists. That's happening. We're recording this Wednesday at five pm.

0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 1>That's happening Saturday. We've had a couple of early awards

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:54.840
<v Speaker 1>being given out. But I don't know nothing that we

0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.160
<v Speaker 1>need to stop everything down for him. We have a

0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:00.920
<v Speaker 1>bunch of good questions here. One final news tidbit, Dan, yes,

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:06.120
<v Speaker 1>dam for help any of the week. It's not a

0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:06.960
<v Speaker 1>normal week.

0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.720
<v Speaker 2>We're talking about things as if the season's over, and

0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:11.640
<v Speaker 2>for all intents and purposes, it is.

0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:14.720
<v Speaker 1>But there is one other game that we need to discuss,

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:15.640
<v Speaker 1>that we have to discuss.

0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.319
<v Speaker 2>It's Army Navy. It's this weekend. They play it in Philly.

0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Navy is obviously the favorite here being so they were

0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 2>a much better team throughout the course of the year.

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:26.600
<v Speaker 2>But any thoughts on this football game.

0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:30.760
<v Speaker 1>I think I feel pretty good about Navy. Yeah that yeah,

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe has been a fun watch. Obviously, they've gotten to

0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.079
<v Speaker 1>be a lot better on offense. They're a top ten

0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:37.440
<v Speaker 1>d analytics team and just points per drive I know

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I love that stat. But defensively they took a nice

0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:42.120
<v Speaker 1>step up as well. And Army has just been a mess.

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.839
<v Speaker 1>They've just been too sloppy. The game this year is

0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 1>where it's at Philly. It's in Philly, it's at the Leak. Yeah,

0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.320
<v Speaker 1>we got a question about Philly food. Maybe we'll get

0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 1>to Yeah, what's the spread? Ten and a half in

0:11:55.960 --> 0:12:00.280
<v Speaker 1>favor of Navy. I'm gonna give those points. Yeah, given

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.839
<v Speaker 1>the points you always like taking in this game. I

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:04.720
<v Speaker 1>always take the points in this game. I don't know

0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:09.120
<v Speaker 1>statistically how it shakes out, but I hate given points

0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:12.280
<v Speaker 1>in a game like this, such a big rivalry. We disagree. Also,

0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Friday night, three FCS playoff games and I you at

0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:20.400
<v Speaker 1>James Madison Austin p at Montana State Montana ad we

0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.360
<v Speaker 1>were state in Illinois State, North Dakota State. Any strong

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.000
<v Speaker 1>thoughts about any of those games.

0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.600
<v Speaker 2>I have no strong thoughts at all other than the

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Muhlenberg Mules at Scotti Baby Scotty Wood Stadium on Saturday.

0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Not sure if I'll make it up, but against North

0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:39.439
<v Speaker 2>Central North Central from Illinois.

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Slippery Rock, Minnesota State, the Johnny's of Saint John's

0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.360
<v Speaker 1>against Wisconsin Whitewater two twelve and one teams. It's a

0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:49.439
<v Speaker 1>pretty action. Pat my one's on ESPN three, Watch ESPN,

0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:52.360
<v Speaker 1>ESPN plus whatever. It's a lot of good football. Let's watch.

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:55.040
<v Speaker 2>We have a bunch of good questions. We asked the

0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:58.520
<v Speaker 2>verballerhood if they could please send a message to us

0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.079
<v Speaker 2>let us know what your question are. Of course, you

0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 2>can get in touch whenever you'd like. At soliverbleatgmail dot com.

0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 2>There's also a form on our website, and there are

0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:13.760
<v Speaker 2>also myriads social channels that you can pursue Twitter, Facebook, Instagram.

0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.199
<v Speaker 1>Did we post on Reddit? We did post. We posted

0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 1>on Reddit a bunch of questions from Reddit.

0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.040
<v Speaker 2>So any which way you can get in touch with

0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.760
<v Speaker 2>us if you've got something to say? What is our

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:24.760
<v Speaker 2>first question, Daniel?

0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Do you want to have the sound that we can play?

0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Or now, congratulations, Skippy, you've got mail? You got there?

0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:33.480
<v Speaker 1>It is? I like my version better.

0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all right, let's go to that right, let's go

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:37.840
<v Speaker 2>to that playoff question.

0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Let's kick Adam. All right, let's leave here with Adam.

0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:42.880
<v Speaker 1>He says, Dan has pretty clear thoughts on the college

0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.600
<v Speaker 1>football playoff, but I'm interested in what he believes is

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:50.360
<v Speaker 1>the best option BCS or go back to polls. So

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.000
<v Speaker 1>it would be the old system in which there were

0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.600
<v Speaker 1>conference alignments for say the Rose and the Sugar and

0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:56.920
<v Speaker 1>the Orange and the people whatever. So I would say,

0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:59.080
<v Speaker 1>bring back the blockbuster bawl one.

0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Obviously, if we could play a bit of the newly

0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:03.880
<v Speaker 2>led game here my understanding.

0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:08.840
<v Speaker 1>The AutoZone Liberty Bowl, getting the zone right, Yeah, always

0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.439
<v Speaker 1>my understanding of what you would prefer is go back

0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:15.120
<v Speaker 1>to polls. I think that's my preference, not in terms

0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:17.000
<v Speaker 1>of it being an actual good answer to find a

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.360
<v Speaker 1>national champion, but I think it's the answer for what

0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:23.240
<v Speaker 1>would be the most entertaining postseason in college football. That

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:25.720
<v Speaker 1>would also put a lot of weight on what I

0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:28.160
<v Speaker 1>believe to be the best part of college football, which

0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:32.080
<v Speaker 1>is September, October, November and things getting crazy at the

0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:36.600
<v Speaker 1>end of the season with the polls and whatever the rankings.

0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.760
<v Speaker 1>So that's my personal preference because I think I am

0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:43.080
<v Speaker 1>looking at this holistically and just what would be the

0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:48.560
<v Speaker 1>most fun package for college football. Because ultimately we've decided

0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:52.480
<v Speaker 1>that a national championship means something, But does it to

0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:57.560
<v Speaker 1>like if only seven and a half teams are capable

0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:59.160
<v Speaker 1>of winning it because of the way they're built and

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.360
<v Speaker 1>how much money they have to you know, pay coaches

0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:04.160
<v Speaker 1>and build facilities and you know, travel for recruiting, things

0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:07.840
<v Speaker 1>like that. Why does the national championship matter as much

0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:09.960
<v Speaker 1>as it does? Why is there so much weight put

0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:11.960
<v Speaker 1>on it? Why are we you know, whether it's Game

0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Day or the Fox Show or our show, or anybody

0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:17.200
<v Speaker 1>who talks about national college football there's this idea of

0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.520
<v Speaker 1>who's your top four? You go on the radio, I

0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.560
<v Speaker 1>go on the radio. We get asked this in March,

0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:25.120
<v Speaker 1>who's your top four? Do you have right? And there's

0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:28.360
<v Speaker 1>something to me that and I've explained this in a

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.160
<v Speaker 1>number of shows, But in terms of the best solution,

0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.400
<v Speaker 1>there is no best solution. If you want to go

0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 1>to eight, sure, those eight teams in that tournament, how

0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:39.200
<v Speaker 1>many games is that? That would be four to two,

0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:41.200
<v Speaker 1>three and one? It would be three, it was seven

0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:44.600
<v Speaker 1>games games, yea, seventy seven games. They'd be fun, it'd

0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:48.320
<v Speaker 1>be good TV. But suddenly there you get a situation

0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:52.920
<v Speaker 1>where your ty Hildenbrand, say, Conference championship weekend, is like, yeah,

0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.000
<v Speaker 1>let's no matter what they're not calling out of the

0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.760
<v Speaker 1>top eight. You get more of that, so we have

0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:01.600
<v Speaker 1>more inconsequential games late this season, which I'm just against.

0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, I just still cannot get my head around

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.800
<v Speaker 2>your logic on this one. And you're entitled to it,

0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:13.880
<v Speaker 2>but I don't get it. If the national championship doesn't matter,

0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:16.360
<v Speaker 2>then why do any of the games matter? Why even

0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:18.160
<v Speaker 2>play if.

0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:18.720
<v Speaker 1>The ultimate goal?

0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.120
<v Speaker 2>If the ultimate goal is not to win the game

0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:24.320
<v Speaker 2>and not to win the championship. Why are they playing

0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.960
<v Speaker 2>the games at all? Like, there has to be there

0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:30.080
<v Speaker 2>has to be meaning. There has to be meanings at

0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:34.520
<v Speaker 2>the end of this and in every other sport and

0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:38.760
<v Speaker 2>literally every other sport, we're playing for a championship in

0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.040
<v Speaker 2>some way, shape or form, unless you're talking pee wee's

0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:44.760
<v Speaker 2>where everyone gets a ribbon, which this is not. You're

0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:47.480
<v Speaker 2>playing for a championship at the end, and we may

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:51.400
<v Speaker 2>disagree on how you crown that champion, but the foundation

0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:55.000
<v Speaker 2>of your argument here is that the championship does not matter.

0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:58.480
<v Speaker 2>And that's still to this day after years of arguing

0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:01.360
<v Speaker 2>about this is not something I can get my head around.

0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Ty, which year featured your favorite premier league playoffs? They

0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.440
<v Speaker 1>don't have playoffs? Oh sorry, they don't have playoffs. Sorry.

0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:11.240
<v Speaker 1>The biggest sport in the world is the one exception

0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:12.760
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't have the kids.

0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.359
<v Speaker 2>They well, they have tournaments. They also have a league

0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:18.440
<v Speaker 2>with twenty teams and they can play each other over

0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:20.720
<v Speaker 2>the span of a season. We can't do that in

0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:23.320
<v Speaker 2>college football. We can't do that because they're one hundred

0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:25.600
<v Speaker 2>and thirty two. Let's do it now. We have talked

0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:29.200
<v Speaker 2>about our elaborate method for crowning a champion, right, which

0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:32.760
<v Speaker 2>would occur over a ten year period, everyone eventually playing

0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:34.800
<v Speaker 2>everyone in a format.

0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:38.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yes, I'm open discussion on that one.

0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:40.920
<v Speaker 2>But since that is not going to be the case

0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:44.520
<v Speaker 2>anytime soon, we're just going to have an impass here.

0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:48.320
<v Speaker 2>We will fundamentally disagree on. I know whether a championship

0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:49.600
<v Speaker 2>has value or not.

0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you this, though, how much did you

0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:56.640
<v Speaker 1>care about a national champion when you learned about college football?

0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:00.639
<v Speaker 1>You're just hoping Notre Dame wins, right, I care a

0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.119
<v Speaker 1>great deal about the national championship. No, I'm saying now,

0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:05.120
<v Speaker 1>you do what I'm saying when you first got into football,

0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:07.320
<v Speaker 1>When you first got into college football, when you're twelve

0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:10.200
<v Speaker 1>years old, just watching Notre Dame games. I hope they win.

0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.439
<v Speaker 1>I was watching every game, Dan, I was not just

0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:16.439
<v Speaker 1>watching Notre Dame. Come on, right. But the idea is

0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:19.480
<v Speaker 1>we only talk. We don't care about other sports. College

0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:22.720
<v Speaker 1>football is a unicorn. It's the greatest, and it's not

0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:25.240
<v Speaker 1>the greatest because of its postseason. It's the greatest because

0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:27.359
<v Speaker 1>of its season. That's what that I would agree with.

0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.880
<v Speaker 1>That I would agree with. Okay, that I would absolutely

0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:32.560
<v Speaker 1>agree with and so I mean, now we're getting into

0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:36.440
<v Speaker 1>the importance of that, and don't worry think about let's

0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:39.159
<v Speaker 1>just treasure what college football is instead of what it

0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:40.280
<v Speaker 1>isn't how about that.

0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:44.879
<v Speaker 2>Well, you're steering into the whole exhibition side of things,

0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:48.480
<v Speaker 2>which is what this playoff tried to get away from, right,

0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:53.560
<v Speaker 2>And I am saying quite the opposite, that it was

0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:56.520
<v Speaker 2>too much of an exhibition sport for too long and

0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:59.359
<v Speaker 2>it's long overdue that we have some justified way of

0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:01.360
<v Speaker 2>crowning a CHAMPI and I'm fine.

0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:04.720
<v Speaker 1>With college football the way it was, right. I fell

0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:06.640
<v Speaker 1>in love with it the way it was, and I'm

0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:09.440
<v Speaker 1>even more in love with it now. Oh no way,

0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:15.400
<v Speaker 1>there's no way. Next topic. Next topic. All right, our

0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:18.320
<v Speaker 1>next question, and I'll get away for some We have

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.040
<v Speaker 1>a couple other college football stuff, but our college fooball

0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:24.399
<v Speaker 1>playoff stuff. But how about this? How much of Lincoln

0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Riley's success at Oklahoma and Ryan Day's initial success at

0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State is due to having smooth in house coaching transfers?

0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:34.240
<v Speaker 1>So okay, not you know, transfer in that sense, but

0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:36.200
<v Speaker 1>are we going to see more of this in the future?

0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Related how likely is Jimmy Lake likely to maintain Washington

0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:43.399
<v Speaker 1>if not on Oklahoma and Ohio State's level. So I

0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:46.920
<v Speaker 1>guess maintain Washington as occasional jump up and get to

0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:49.879
<v Speaker 1>the playoff, can tend for the Pac twelve, you know,

0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:52.399
<v Speaker 1>once every three years andthing like that. We sort of

0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:54.960
<v Speaker 1>answered this on the Twoes crews, didn't we We did. Yeah,

0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:57.840
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about let's talk about internal transition.

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, the smooth in house transition is important,

0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:07.879
<v Speaker 2>but doesn't it help to have that kind of talent

0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:12.159
<v Speaker 2>like they do at Ohio State and Oklahoma. Definitely, like

0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:14.240
<v Speaker 2>both guys have done a great job, but they also

0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:18.600
<v Speaker 2>started with presumably that twenty seven mile runway from Fast

0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:23.480
<v Speaker 2>and Furious six That helps two. So it's a combination

0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:27.359
<v Speaker 2>of factors for both those guys. There are plenty of

0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:31.920
<v Speaker 2>instances where a coach took over a very talented team

0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:35.119
<v Speaker 2>and then deep sixed it over the course of five years.

0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:40.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking at you, Larry Coker. Lincoln Riley clearly has

0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:44.280
<v Speaker 2>not done that. Lincoln Riley has you know, carved out

0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:46.359
<v Speaker 2>his own little place in college football at this point,

0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:49.320
<v Speaker 2>and that's why you hear his name rumored for jobs

0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:51.879
<v Speaker 2>maybe in the NFL. At some point right, We'll have

0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:53.840
<v Speaker 2>to wait and see on Ryan d Ryan Day has

0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:55.399
<v Speaker 2>been a name that's been up and coming in the

0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:58.600
<v Speaker 2>coaching ranks forever. I would find it very hard to

0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:01.239
<v Speaker 2>believe that things are going to turn around in a

0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:03.840
<v Speaker 2>negative way for him at Ohio State. So I think

0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:05.840
<v Speaker 2>it's a combination of factors. That's sort of a long

0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:08.200
<v Speaker 2>winded way of saying. It's both it's talent and it's

0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:10.119
<v Speaker 2>a smooth transition from A to B.

0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:14.720
<v Speaker 1>So even I'll drill down a little bit deeper, and

0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:17.400
<v Speaker 1>you root for schools in Penn State and Notre Dame

0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:21.320
<v Speaker 1>that almost exclusively look to the outside. One because Penn

0:21:21.359 --> 0:21:25.200
<v Speaker 1>State had a coach forever and ever and that ended abruptly,

0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:27.720
<v Speaker 1>so they pretty much had to go to the outside.

0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Given that situation, then they do it once again once

0:21:30.320 --> 0:21:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Bill O'Brien leaves to hire James Franklin, who has connections

0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:35.919
<v Speaker 1>to PA but was not on that staff. My school

0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:39.800
<v Speaker 1>that I root for almost exclusively looks inside the program,

0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:42.200
<v Speaker 1>like Bellotti was an inside higher, Chip Kelly was an

0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:46.080
<v Speaker 1>inside hire, Mark Helfrich was an inside hier, Willie Taggert outside,

0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:50.040
<v Speaker 1>and then Mario Christobul inside once again, so we have

0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:52.359
<v Speaker 1>different vantage points as it relates to the teams we

0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:56.200
<v Speaker 1>root for. And I'll say that there is an unquestionable

0:21:56.200 --> 0:21:59.520
<v Speaker 1>advantage of just knowing where the bathrooms are, and that's

0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:02.840
<v Speaker 1>to be taken in a literal and figurative sense. Just

0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:06.840
<v Speaker 1>there's something about you're not displacing your family again. You

0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:09.240
<v Speaker 1>don't have upheaval, you don't have You're not going home

0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:11.400
<v Speaker 1>to a teenager saying I hate you, Dad, I miss

0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:16.520
<v Speaker 1>all my friends. There is something quinked and tranquil about continuity,

0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:19.640
<v Speaker 1>just from a personal standpoint. And then you know which

0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:21.800
<v Speaker 1>coaches you like and don't like, and you can say,

0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:24.320
<v Speaker 1>you know what, it's been great working with you, but

0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:27.320
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm gonna go a new direction, defensive line coach,

0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:31.119
<v Speaker 1>offensive coordinator, whatever. You already have a sense of the

0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:33.520
<v Speaker 1>players who you like, who you don't like, where you

0:22:33.560 --> 0:22:35.879
<v Speaker 1>need to recruit better, where you can pull back on

0:22:35.920 --> 0:22:38.000
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. There is I mean, you're talking about

0:22:38.000 --> 0:22:39.960
<v Speaker 1>the runway and I think that's exactly it. But it's

0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:43.720
<v Speaker 1>in every single room of the facility. And you're right

0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:46.280
<v Speaker 1>about the talent with Ohio State and Oklahoma, and I

0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:48.360
<v Speaker 1>think to a lesser extent, but still to a reasonable

0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:51.200
<v Speaker 1>extent at Washington. I think Jimmy Lake should have a

0:22:51.240 --> 0:22:55.359
<v Speaker 1>lot of success early because programs stuck there are really good.

0:22:55.440 --> 0:22:57.879
<v Speaker 1>They've recruited well, there are good defensive players. I know

0:22:57.920 --> 0:23:00.440
<v Speaker 1>they need to make adjustments on offense, but Immy Lake

0:23:00.520 --> 0:23:03.600
<v Speaker 1>is better prepared to diagnose what he wants to do

0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:07.320
<v Speaker 1>on offense than if they brought in whoever. You know,

0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:09.960
<v Speaker 1>if they brought on PJ. Fleck to replace Chris Peterson

0:23:10.040 --> 0:23:13.000
<v Speaker 1>or Matt Campbell or whoever. And that's what you should

0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:15.920
<v Speaker 1>see them flirting with double digit wins in these next

0:23:15.920 --> 0:23:19.320
<v Speaker 1>couple of years because he knows where the bathrooms are.

0:23:19.600 --> 0:23:22.879
<v Speaker 2>Sure, Yeah, I mean it's not a common occurrence that

0:23:22.920 --> 0:23:26.240
<v Speaker 2>you see a guy who is taking over and is

0:23:26.400 --> 0:23:29.359
<v Speaker 2>just an instant disaster taking over a good situation and

0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:30.640
<v Speaker 2>it's instantly horrible.

0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Right, Usually Helfridge took a few years.

0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Right, Usually it takes a little bit before you start

0:23:36.920 --> 0:23:40.160
<v Speaker 2>to see that manifest Clearly it has that happened at Oklahoma.

0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:42.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's likely to happen at Ohio State,

0:23:42.440 --> 0:23:43.400
<v Speaker 2>but you got to give it time.

0:23:43.600 --> 0:23:45.639
<v Speaker 1>Where are we going next? And by the way, the

0:23:45.640 --> 0:23:48.639
<v Speaker 1>interesting thing with both Ryan Day and Lincoln Riley is

0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:53.160
<v Speaker 1>they'd been around. Oh yeah, Jimmy Lake is a Peterson

0:23:53.240 --> 0:23:54.760
<v Speaker 1>not lifer, but he spent a lot of time with

0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:58.280
<v Speaker 1>them at Boise and Washington, so his network of what

0:23:58.359 --> 0:24:00.359
<v Speaker 1>works and what doesn't work is network of a distance

0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:04.199
<v Speaker 1>isn't quite as large. I still think he should succeed. Next,

0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:06.840
<v Speaker 1>you get to redo one play this year. This is

0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:11.360
<v Speaker 1>from Willie Auburn's last second catch versus Oregon. North Carolina's

0:24:11.359 --> 0:24:15.639
<v Speaker 1>two point attempted play against Clemson. Alabama's one second before

0:24:15.720 --> 0:24:19.040
<v Speaker 1>half versus Auburn. Michigan catches the touchdown versus Penn State.

0:24:19.080 --> 0:24:21.880
<v Speaker 1>That's what Ronnie Bell in the end zone that would

0:24:21.920 --> 0:24:24.119
<v Speaker 1>have tied it. Sure, I believe it was twenty eight,

0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:27.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty one or something else. I know which one you

0:24:27.400 --> 0:24:32.320
<v Speaker 1>can redo. Yeah, I'm gonna say Veron McKinley breaking up

0:24:32.359 --> 0:24:35.040
<v Speaker 1>that pass the Oregon defensive back.

0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to say North Carolina is two point attempt

0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:44.199
<v Speaker 2>against Clemson because I love the Cajones. It takes to

0:24:44.240 --> 0:24:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Gopher two. Sure in that situation, go for the win.

0:24:47.800 --> 0:24:50.200
<v Speaker 2>Almost as much as I hate the speed option play

0:24:50.200 --> 0:24:52.680
<v Speaker 2>that they ran against a really fast Clempson defense.

0:24:54.200 --> 0:24:56.840
<v Speaker 1>But I love the gumption to go for two there.

0:24:56.880 --> 0:25:00.800
<v Speaker 2>If you're Mac Brown, got a shot take The shot

0:25:00.920 --> 0:25:02.480
<v Speaker 2>didn't work out, but it was still held a lot

0:25:02.480 --> 0:25:02.760
<v Speaker 2>of fun.

0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Not a lot of people know this, but that play

0:25:05.119 --> 0:25:07.600
<v Speaker 1>where a quarterback rolls out and a tight end shows

0:25:07.640 --> 0:25:10.480
<v Speaker 1>that he's in for extra protection, then leaks out to

0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:13.480
<v Speaker 1>the weak side for a wide open catch that has

0:25:13.560 --> 0:25:17.840
<v Speaker 1>never failed. It's a one hundred percent successful play on

0:25:17.920 --> 0:25:21.080
<v Speaker 1>any level it's ever been run. You know, why didn't

0:25:21.119 --> 0:25:24.680
<v Speaker 1>they run the Philly Special? It's a good question. Has

0:25:24.680 --> 0:25:27.680
<v Speaker 1>that play ever failed? I have not seen. I mean

0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:30.439
<v Speaker 1>sure it has. I'm sure it's failed spectacularly because there

0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:32.359
<v Speaker 1>are a lot of levers and pulleys to it.

0:25:32.560 --> 0:25:35.240
<v Speaker 2>I would love to know if PFF has a stat

0:25:35.280 --> 0:25:35.640
<v Speaker 2>on that.

0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Seriously, on some sort of Philly Special or King of

0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:44.199
<v Speaker 1>Prussia special, some sort of iteration. That play feels like

0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:46.720
<v Speaker 1>it works one hundred percent of the time. Yeah, it

0:25:46.760 --> 0:25:51.720
<v Speaker 1>absolutely does. Footford thought, will Mike Norvel have the knolls

0:25:51.840 --> 0:25:55.800
<v Speaker 1>above five hundred next year? Not including a bowl game?

0:25:55.880 --> 0:25:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Ooh, good question, Yeah, good question. This is from Michael.

0:26:00.119 --> 0:26:00.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:26:00.960 --> 0:26:07.360
<v Speaker 2>First off, the non conference schedule includes both Boise and Florida,

0:26:07.480 --> 0:26:08.840
<v Speaker 2>which are tough games.

0:26:09.520 --> 0:26:12.439
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I think they're at Boise and West Virginia, right

0:26:12.480 --> 0:26:16.120
<v Speaker 1>and West Virginia sure in Atlanta. Yeah, so they've got

0:26:16.119 --> 0:26:18.840
<v Speaker 1>those three, which at least two of those three are

0:26:18.840 --> 0:26:19.479
<v Speaker 1>going to be tricky.

0:26:20.200 --> 0:26:24.920
<v Speaker 2>They also get Clemson. They also get Louisville, they get Miami,

0:26:24.960 --> 0:26:27.399
<v Speaker 2>both in the road, both of those two every year.

0:26:27.440 --> 0:26:29.760
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, right, both of those teams should be improved.

0:26:31.760 --> 0:26:34.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they lose all those games. I feel

0:26:34.560 --> 0:26:38.520
<v Speaker 2>pretty good about seven and five, just solely on talent alone.

0:26:38.560 --> 0:26:43.640
<v Speaker 2>But I think the schedule dispels any notion of Mike

0:26:43.720 --> 0:26:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Norvel going like nine and three, ten and two.

0:26:46.280 --> 0:26:50.639
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of a tough schedule. It's what a third

0:26:50.760 --> 0:26:55.480
<v Speaker 1>offensive coordinator in three years. It's the talent level obviously

0:26:55.520 --> 0:26:58.920
<v Speaker 1>isn't up to where it was, you know, eight, seven

0:26:59.000 --> 0:27:04.480
<v Speaker 1>years ago. Whatever, I think they'll be, okay, I am optimistic.

0:27:04.760 --> 0:27:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Quarterback is still gonna be such a huge issue for me. God,

0:27:07.320 --> 0:27:10.480
<v Speaker 1>the Sam Howell de commitment, well, yeah, it hurt, that's right,

0:27:10.960 --> 0:27:15.719
<v Speaker 1>just enormous. I think so. Yeah, I think they can

0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:20.320
<v Speaker 1>go seven and five. It's it's year one, don't I

0:27:20.320 --> 0:27:22.480
<v Speaker 1>don't have what Mike Norvell did at the moment in

0:27:22.480 --> 0:27:23.800
<v Speaker 1>front of me. I'm bringing it up right now in

0:27:23.880 --> 0:27:25.600
<v Speaker 1>year one at Memphis, but he was taking over a

0:27:25.720 --> 0:27:28.399
<v Speaker 1>much more successful program. It was a different situation. They

0:27:28.480 --> 0:27:29.920
<v Speaker 1>left that in such a good place.

0:27:30.000 --> 0:27:32.080
<v Speaker 2>It went a much different situation. Yeah, in five to

0:27:32.080 --> 0:27:36.520
<v Speaker 2>five in five so look, I like Mike Norvell. I

0:27:36.520 --> 0:27:38.360
<v Speaker 2>think it's a good move. I don't know if he's

0:27:38.400 --> 0:27:40.399
<v Speaker 2>got the personnel in place to run the system he

0:27:40.440 --> 0:27:42.560
<v Speaker 2>wants to run. We'll find that out in due time.

0:27:42.600 --> 0:27:48.120
<v Speaker 2>But the schedule does not strike me as a cream

0:27:48.160 --> 0:27:48.840
<v Speaker 2>puff schedule.

0:27:49.560 --> 0:27:51.080
<v Speaker 1>So seven and five right now.

0:27:51.119 --> 0:27:53.679
<v Speaker 2>If I'm betting in late December or early to so

0:27:53.760 --> 0:27:56.720
<v Speaker 2>whatever this is now was in track of time, seven

0:27:56.760 --> 0:27:58.320
<v Speaker 2>and five would probably be my early bet.

0:27:59.440 --> 0:28:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I don't think cam Akers will be back, No,

0:28:03.359 --> 0:28:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I hope not, for his sake. I really do hope not.

0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he's declared yet, but it's hard to

0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:12.080
<v Speaker 1>imagine he won't because it's time. There's nothing more he

0:28:12.119 --> 0:28:15.360
<v Speaker 1>can really do in Florida State, given the line that's

0:28:15.400 --> 0:28:17.080
<v Speaker 1>going to be in front of him once again. I'm

0:28:17.119 --> 0:28:20.440
<v Speaker 1>sure it'll be improved, but it's time. Yeah, I'm gonna

0:28:20.440 --> 0:28:22.960
<v Speaker 1>say yes, just be on the strength of Norville, but

0:28:23.320 --> 0:28:25.160
<v Speaker 1>we haven't seen all of his HighRes, so it's it's

0:28:25.200 --> 0:28:28.880
<v Speaker 1>an incomplete take at the moment, Joshua, does the Big

0:28:28.920 --> 0:28:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Twelve have the best pool of head coaches right now

0:28:31.960 --> 0:28:35.160
<v Speaker 1>versus all the other Power five conferences or just every

0:28:35.200 --> 0:28:40.520
<v Speaker 1>conference top to bottom? I'm gonna say no, Okay, who's better? Well,

0:28:40.640 --> 0:28:44.400
<v Speaker 1>I guess, first of all, let's define best pool of coaches.

0:28:45.280 --> 0:28:47.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how you would define it. I will

0:28:47.120 --> 0:28:51.120
<v Speaker 1>offer have proven that they can win eight games in

0:28:51.200 --> 0:28:55.400
<v Speaker 1>a Power five conference, Okay, as a head coach. So

0:28:55.440 --> 0:29:00.560
<v Speaker 1>the Big Twelve to me is sort of incomplete. I

0:29:00.600 --> 0:29:03.480
<v Speaker 1>did Less Miles currently lest Miles won a national championship.

0:29:03.760 --> 0:29:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Do you have faith less Miles can win eight games

0:29:05.560 --> 0:29:12.120
<v Speaker 1>at Kansas? No, that's obviously the low part. Matt Wells incomplete? Okay,

0:29:12.160 --> 0:29:13.200
<v Speaker 1>no idea, right?

0:29:14.040 --> 0:29:14.160
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

0:29:14.560 --> 0:29:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Neil Brown incomplete? No idea. I mean we look at

0:29:17.720 --> 0:29:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Neil Brown, we look at Matt Wells, you know, Chris

0:29:20.640 --> 0:29:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Climban as people who have potential. But there's just there's

0:29:25.400 --> 0:29:28.800
<v Speaker 1>too much. I mean, we like, obviously, we love Lincoln Riley,

0:29:29.320 --> 0:29:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Gary current iteration, Gary Patterson and the decisions he's made

0:29:32.240 --> 0:29:35.560
<v Speaker 1>it offensive coordinator I don't know. It's not in a

0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:38.280
<v Speaker 1>great place. But Gary Patterson's track record says yes, he

0:29:38.400 --> 0:29:41.840
<v Speaker 1>is an addition to a good pool, right it is.

0:29:42.320 --> 0:29:43.600
<v Speaker 1>It's not the Pac twelve.

0:29:44.040 --> 0:29:46.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean what the what the Big twelve has

0:29:46.320 --> 0:29:48.000
<v Speaker 2>going for it is that it's only ten teams.

0:29:48.600 --> 0:29:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Yes, so it's more of a percentage thing. It's so

0:29:51.360 --> 0:29:56.560
<v Speaker 1>hard to go against the sec you think. So it

0:29:56.640 --> 0:29:59.600
<v Speaker 1>starts at the top with Saban, who everyone is trying

0:29:59.600 --> 0:30:01.160
<v Speaker 1>to emulate. Eight mm hmm.

0:30:01.800 --> 0:30:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Obviously LSU had a renaissance here. I don't know if

0:30:06.760 --> 0:30:09.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm confident in ed Orgeron moving forward. I'm confident in

0:30:10.440 --> 0:30:12.640
<v Speaker 2>their ability in this playoff, but this is really the

0:30:12.640 --> 0:30:14.600
<v Speaker 2>first year where he's broken out, so I'd like to

0:30:14.600 --> 0:30:17.800
<v Speaker 2>see him maintain it. But LSU was an eight win entity.

0:30:17.840 --> 0:30:20.080
<v Speaker 2>I feel pretty good about that year in a year out.

0:30:20.560 --> 0:30:24.360
<v Speaker 2>Dan Mullen is doing quick work at Florida. Gus Melzon

0:30:24.480 --> 0:30:28.680
<v Speaker 2>has been pretty good for a while at Auburn. Winning

0:30:28.680 --> 0:30:32.280
<v Speaker 2>eight games has not really been an issue, right, you know.

0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:34.680
<v Speaker 2>On the other side of things, I think Jeremy Pruitt

0:30:34.680 --> 0:30:36.440
<v Speaker 2>did a really good job second half of the year

0:30:36.440 --> 0:30:37.040
<v Speaker 2>at Tennessee.

0:30:38.160 --> 0:30:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but second half of the year was a very

0:30:42.360 --> 0:30:45.440
<v Speaker 1>different schedule than the first half of the year. But yeah, sure,

0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:48.560
<v Speaker 1>you lose the way he did those first two weeks.

0:30:48.560 --> 0:30:51.320
<v Speaker 1>It's hard to really sing praises this season.

0:30:51.760 --> 0:30:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Mark Stoops has done miracles at Kentucky. I'm not even

0:30:57.080 --> 0:31:00.320
<v Speaker 2>mentioning Jimbo Fisher yet. So I just think the amount

0:31:00.360 --> 0:31:02.240
<v Speaker 2>of AMMO in the coaching ranks and the SEC is

0:31:02.280 --> 0:31:03.440
<v Speaker 2>really tough to beat.

0:31:03.800 --> 0:31:06.520
<v Speaker 1>I would say the top of the SEC is incredibly

0:31:06.520 --> 0:31:10.080
<v Speaker 1>tough to beat. The depth of the ACC as down

0:31:10.120 --> 0:31:12.479
<v Speaker 1>as it was this season, the ACC is sneaky. I

0:31:12.480 --> 0:31:16.040
<v Speaker 1>was looking at them too. It's not Jeff Collins is

0:31:16.040 --> 0:31:19.080
<v Speaker 1>an unknown right now as a Power five coach, and

0:31:19.200 --> 0:31:22.520
<v Speaker 1>obviously Boston College has not officially hired anybody. But in

0:31:22.640 --> 0:31:24.800
<v Speaker 1>terms of what these guys have proven, and I would

0:31:24.800 --> 0:31:27.440
<v Speaker 1>put Mike Norvell above some of those big twelve guys

0:31:27.480 --> 0:31:30.000
<v Speaker 1>with what he's done at Memphis this season leading him

0:31:30.000 --> 0:31:33.240
<v Speaker 1>to a Cotton Bowl. The Many Diaz thing is the

0:31:33.280 --> 0:31:38.920
<v Speaker 1>other question. But justin Fuente, Bronco, Mendenhall, Pat Nardoozi, it

0:31:39.040 --> 0:31:41.760
<v Speaker 1>was okay, but he if that bar is seven eight

0:31:41.800 --> 0:31:45.240
<v Speaker 1>wins in a Power five conference, he can He's gotten there. Ye,

0:31:46.320 --> 0:31:49.040
<v Speaker 1>mac Brown has proven it and a Power five conference.

0:31:49.080 --> 0:31:51.880
<v Speaker 1>He's an ash. David Cutcliffe has proven it all. Dave

0:31:52.000 --> 0:31:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Duran does is wins seven or nine games, or he

0:31:55.480 --> 0:31:58.600
<v Speaker 1>wins or loses seven games, that's right in the ACC.

0:31:58.800 --> 0:32:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Dino Babers has proven it. No, it's not bad. I

0:32:04.680 --> 0:32:08.000
<v Speaker 1>think just in terms of high floor, I would probably

0:32:08.280 --> 0:32:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I might have, and then Dabbo obviously who might be

0:32:11.280 --> 0:32:12.400
<v Speaker 1>the best coach in the sport?

0:32:12.560 --> 0:32:15.200
<v Speaker 2>Can I ask a different coach question than I see

0:32:15.240 --> 0:32:19.440
<v Speaker 2>here from Joe? Does the hype around Matt Campbell at

0:32:19.480 --> 0:32:23.320
<v Speaker 2>Iowa State seem to be fizzling? Or is he still

0:32:23.400 --> 0:32:28.080
<v Speaker 2>destined for a program bigger and better eventually he is?

0:32:28.120 --> 0:32:30.440
<v Speaker 1>I think he's being patient. Yeah, I think he's being

0:32:30.480 --> 0:32:34.640
<v Speaker 1>patient for Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, something like that,

0:32:35.360 --> 0:32:38.000
<v Speaker 1>where you know, obviously he's from the Midwest, and I

0:32:38.040 --> 0:32:41.880
<v Speaker 1>think he will have his choice of a large Midwestern

0:32:42.000 --> 0:32:45.360
<v Speaker 1>job if he continues taking Iowa State to bowl games

0:32:45.720 --> 0:32:49.320
<v Speaker 1>and hanging with teams like Oklahoma and Texas, beating teams

0:32:49.360 --> 0:32:53.200
<v Speaker 1>like Texas, murdering teams like TCU for as many down

0:32:53.240 --> 0:32:57.120
<v Speaker 1>weeks and weird losses that the Clones will have and

0:32:57.160 --> 0:33:00.840
<v Speaker 1>you know you need to beat Iowa at a certain point.

0:33:01.480 --> 0:33:05.720
<v Speaker 1>Their schedule is not difficult in the following years. I

0:33:05.720 --> 0:33:08.280
<v Speaker 1>think they only have Iowa in terms of very challenging

0:33:08.320 --> 0:33:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Power five teams, so that should be a nice cushion.

0:33:12.200 --> 0:33:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Even though the Big twelve plays nine conference games. I

0:33:15.600 --> 0:33:20.120
<v Speaker 1>think we're just plateauing with Matt Campbell as attractive dude

0:33:20.280 --> 0:33:22.960
<v Speaker 1>to take over that large program. And that's my point.

0:33:23.000 --> 0:33:23.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's fizzling.

0:33:24.000 --> 0:33:26.800
<v Speaker 2>I just think the hype has been normalized at this point,

0:33:27.040 --> 0:33:28.880
<v Speaker 2>and you're one hundred percent right. He is in a

0:33:28.920 --> 0:33:31.800
<v Speaker 2>position or he can be as picky as he wants

0:33:31.840 --> 0:33:34.280
<v Speaker 2>to be about his next gig, because Iowa State would

0:33:34.280 --> 0:33:38.040
<v Speaker 2>happily keep him until he's seventy sure thirty years of

0:33:38.080 --> 0:33:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Matt Campbell, sign me up. They would take that in

0:33:40.520 --> 0:33:43.160
<v Speaker 2>a heartbeat. The truth of the matter is, though.

0:33:42.960 --> 0:33:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine a seventy three year old with that

0:33:45.200 --> 0:33:50.480
<v Speaker 1>crazy curved hat, whoa.

0:33:50.120 --> 0:33:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Matt Campbell had an eight and four regular season last year.

0:33:54.400 --> 0:33:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Last year before that, you had to go back eighteen

0:33:57.320 --> 0:34:00.400
<v Speaker 2>years to find a regular season as successful. This is

0:34:00.440 --> 0:34:03.880
<v Speaker 2>not a place that is easy to win at. Seven

0:34:03.920 --> 0:34:06.720
<v Speaker 2>win seasons are not growing on trees at Iowa State.

0:34:07.120 --> 0:34:10.319
<v Speaker 2>And now he's done it for three consecutive seasons. So

0:34:11.160 --> 0:34:13.000
<v Speaker 2>this is definitely still a guy who's going to be

0:34:13.000 --> 0:34:15.520
<v Speaker 2>in demand when he chooses to be in demand.

0:34:15.960 --> 0:34:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Right. The only thing I'd be worried about. And we

0:34:18.480 --> 0:34:21.000
<v Speaker 1>got a question about Willy Fritz with this too. You know,

0:34:21.360 --> 0:34:23.320
<v Speaker 1>how is Willy Fritz still at Tulane? How has nobody

0:34:23.320 --> 0:34:27.160
<v Speaker 1>scooped him up there? If he does throw in a

0:34:27.200 --> 0:34:29.840
<v Speaker 1>clunker of a year, if he loses a quarterback in

0:34:29.880 --> 0:34:31.879
<v Speaker 1>week three and they end up five and seven because

0:34:31.920 --> 0:34:35.200
<v Speaker 1>of weird depth issues, transfer issues or whatever, then he's

0:34:35.239 --> 0:34:37.200
<v Speaker 1>going to need a proven year not to stay at

0:34:37.200 --> 0:34:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Iowa State, but to say, Okay, no, this guy's still good.

0:34:40.640 --> 0:34:42.520
<v Speaker 1>This guy's still good. I think it sort of happened

0:34:42.560 --> 0:34:44.880
<v Speaker 1>in Iowa State is not a G five program. But

0:34:45.320 --> 0:34:48.359
<v Speaker 1>this is more of a comparison to Willy Fritz. Everybody said,

0:34:48.360 --> 0:34:52.399
<v Speaker 1>oh man, Matt Wells destined for big things. Then Utah

0:34:52.440 --> 0:34:56.640
<v Speaker 1>State kept getting hurt at quarterback year after year after year,

0:34:57.040 --> 0:34:59.000
<v Speaker 1>and he would I think he had a great year

0:34:59.040 --> 0:35:01.480
<v Speaker 1>with the Eggies and like tw fourteen and then he

0:35:01.560 --> 0:35:03.440
<v Speaker 1>threw in a bunch of five and seven, six and

0:35:03.520 --> 0:35:06.520
<v Speaker 1>seven whatever type seasons. And it's not that people thought

0:35:06.560 --> 0:35:09.160
<v Speaker 1>any less of him, but the margin for air is

0:35:09.200 --> 0:35:11.120
<v Speaker 1>so much slimmer at a place like that. So when

0:35:11.160 --> 0:35:13.719
<v Speaker 1>he finally did have that double digit, double digit win

0:35:13.840 --> 0:35:16.560
<v Speaker 1>year last season, then it was like, I gotta take

0:35:16.560 --> 0:35:20.400
<v Speaker 1>advantage now. Yeah, fair enough, fair enough, he's gonna I

0:35:20.440 --> 0:35:22.400
<v Speaker 1>think if he does slip, if Matt Campbell and the

0:35:22.400 --> 0:35:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Clones slip and have a clunker year, he will need

0:35:24.600 --> 0:35:26.960
<v Speaker 1>that prove a year. But I don't see that happening

0:35:26.960 --> 0:35:29.040
<v Speaker 1>anytime soon. He's recruited pretty well. I think he has

0:35:29.040 --> 0:35:31.480
<v Speaker 1>a blue chip quarterback coming in in this next class.

0:35:32.080 --> 0:35:33.880
<v Speaker 1>It's always gonna be tough to out recruit teams that

0:35:33.920 --> 0:35:37.520
<v Speaker 1>are that close or inside Texas. But uh, I foresee

0:35:37.520 --> 0:35:41.120
<v Speaker 1>this continuing for the Clones. So Bucks Guy, that's the

0:35:41.200 --> 0:35:44.799
<v Speaker 1>name we have here. Bucks Guy. Yeah, requested that I

0:35:44.920 --> 0:35:49.319
<v Speaker 1>read the full name of this bowl, okay, and.

0:35:49.239 --> 0:35:51.239
<v Speaker 2>He said, I might be headed to the Bad Boy

0:35:51.280 --> 0:35:56.239
<v Speaker 2>Mowers Gasparia Bowl. Mm hmm, as I'll be in the

0:35:56.320 --> 0:36:00.040
<v Speaker 2>area for Christmas games in Tampa. Yeah, what is the

0:36:00.080 --> 0:36:02.840
<v Speaker 2>word on this game? Any fun? Seems like it'll be

0:36:02.880 --> 0:36:07.000
<v Speaker 2>a blowout. So this is UCF and Marshall. I agree

0:36:08.120 --> 0:36:10.160
<v Speaker 2>that it will be a blowout. I think UCFS about

0:36:10.160 --> 0:36:12.400
<v Speaker 2>a seventeen point favorite. I'll put a fair amount of

0:36:12.400 --> 0:36:15.759
<v Speaker 2>confidence points on this one. All I would say to you,

0:36:15.880 --> 0:36:19.839
<v Speaker 2>sir Buck's guy, mister Bucks guy. I'm assuming this Bowl

0:36:19.920 --> 0:36:24.719
<v Speaker 2>game has previously been sponsored by titans in the business world,

0:36:24.840 --> 0:36:31.400
<v Speaker 2>such as Magic Jack, BFO, Brady's, and BitPay. So regardless

0:36:31.400 --> 0:36:33.480
<v Speaker 2>of the final outcome of the game, maybe it's a blowout,

0:36:33.520 --> 0:36:37.879
<v Speaker 2>maybe it isn't just walk around breathe that rarefied era

0:36:37.920 --> 0:36:39.000
<v Speaker 2>of Raymond James Stadium.

0:36:39.040 --> 0:36:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Dan, can I ask you a question about sponsorships in

0:36:42.560 --> 0:36:44.799
<v Speaker 1>light of both your comment and the fact that the

0:36:44.800 --> 0:36:47.040
<v Speaker 1>New Mexico Bowl almost got sponsored by a company that

0:36:47.080 --> 0:36:50.120
<v Speaker 1>doesn't technically exist or at least we talk in we

0:36:50.200 --> 0:36:52.799
<v Speaker 1>talk in CPM rates here. What are we talking now?

0:36:53.400 --> 0:36:55.719
<v Speaker 1>My question to you is, if there is a desperate

0:36:55.760 --> 0:36:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Bowl game that is sure it's going to sell a

0:36:58.080 --> 0:37:00.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of tickets, but it still needs a sponsor to

0:37:00.320 --> 0:37:03.320
<v Speaker 1>round out the books, to cover all of its costs whatever,

0:37:04.400 --> 0:37:07.680
<v Speaker 1>how inappropriate do you think? I mean, I'm sure there

0:37:07.680 --> 0:37:09.359
<v Speaker 1>are rules. I don't know if it's an NCAA thing.

0:37:09.360 --> 0:37:11.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's an ESPN thing. I don't

0:37:11.040 --> 0:37:13.320
<v Speaker 1>know if it's a specific bowl that has rules about

0:37:13.360 --> 0:37:18.520
<v Speaker 1>who they would accept sponsorship from. I only thought of

0:37:18.520 --> 0:37:22.160
<v Speaker 1>this because Tampa is so I've heard the strip club

0:37:22.200 --> 0:37:25.000
<v Speaker 1>capital of America. Sure, So I don't think they would

0:37:25.040 --> 0:37:29.440
<v Speaker 1>take a sponsorship from a strip club. Would they take

0:37:29.440 --> 0:37:32.759
<v Speaker 1>a sponsorship from if there were some modern equivalent of

0:37:32.800 --> 0:37:39.920
<v Speaker 1>like Maxim or Fahm, would they take a Hooters sponsorship?

0:37:40.440 --> 0:37:42.360
<v Speaker 1>I was going to say, would they take a Hooter sponsorship?

0:37:42.480 --> 0:37:45.400
<v Speaker 1>I think they probably would. I think they would, right, Yeah,

0:37:45.719 --> 0:37:48.399
<v Speaker 1>I think especially a smaller bowl that really just needs

0:37:48.400 --> 0:37:51.880
<v Speaker 1>that infusion of cash to cover everything, I think you

0:37:51.920 --> 0:37:54.000
<v Speaker 1>would do a Hooter's bull Yeah.

0:37:54.040 --> 0:37:56.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, Dan, this is going to be the best segue ever.

0:37:56.600 --> 0:37:58.880
<v Speaker 2>As you know, it's an exciting time for sports, but

0:37:59.000 --> 0:38:03.560
<v Speaker 2>none more exciting than the NFL sophomore sensation. Lamar Jackson

0:38:03.600 --> 0:38:05.680
<v Speaker 2>is redefining what it means to be a dual threat quarterback.

0:38:06.160 --> 0:38:08.640
<v Speaker 2>The odds on Jackson to win the MVP race we're

0:38:08.640 --> 0:38:11.800
<v Speaker 2>at fifty to one to begin the year. They have plummeted,

0:38:11.880 --> 0:38:17.520
<v Speaker 2>making my bookies prop selection more attractive than ever. Then

0:39:09.600 --> 0:39:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Do you have the breaking news sounds I do? From

0:39:18.400 --> 0:39:21.840
<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety five to nineteen ninety nine, Hooters sponsored the

0:39:21.920 --> 0:39:26.799
<v Speaker 1>Hula Bowl. Oh yes, that's right, Yeah, I think the

0:39:26.840 --> 0:39:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Hula Bowl is coming back. By the way, Oh, I

0:39:29.200 --> 0:39:31.600
<v Speaker 1>would love that the Hula Bowl is coming back. According

0:39:31.640 --> 0:39:33.760
<v Speaker 1>to its Wikipedia page. The game was first played nineteen

0:39:33.800 --> 0:39:35.960
<v Speaker 1>forty seven to two thousand and eight and is being

0:39:36.000 --> 0:39:39.880
<v Speaker 1>revived following the twenty nineteen season to be played at

0:39:39.560 --> 0:39:43.720
<v Speaker 1>a Looha stadium first time. Since it's so, it's scheduled

0:39:43.760 --> 0:39:47.120
<v Speaker 1>for January twenty six, twenty twenty. So this is the

0:39:47.600 --> 0:39:50.880
<v Speaker 1>like an all star game. Yeah, not officially a bowl game. Also,

0:39:50.960 --> 0:39:53.839
<v Speaker 1>Lee Karso did a Hooters commercial in twenty eleven where

0:39:53.880 --> 0:39:56.200
<v Speaker 1>he was he put on the I remember that owl,

0:39:56.280 --> 0:39:59.480
<v Speaker 1>I remember that head, I remember that there is connection,

0:39:59.520 --> 0:40:02.719
<v Speaker 1>there is I want that's a technical bowl game.

0:40:03.440 --> 0:40:06.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't just want the Blockbuster Bowl back. I want

0:40:06.080 --> 0:40:08.080
<v Speaker 2>the blue Bonnet Bowl back from the late eighties.

0:40:08.160 --> 0:40:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Bring that back, good copper ball, get more people to Arizona.

0:40:12.239 --> 0:40:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Let's do it. Okay, next question, who do you want

0:40:16.000 --> 0:40:18.799
<v Speaker 1>to go to? N D Fan? Let's get this out

0:40:18.840 --> 0:40:20.480
<v Speaker 1>of the way. Oh, I'm ready.

0:40:20.760 --> 0:40:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Do you think Notre Dame is a coach away from

0:40:23.040 --> 0:40:26.480
<v Speaker 2>the elite class like Georgia when Georgia went from Mark

0:40:26.600 --> 0:40:33.280
<v Speaker 2>Richt to Kirby Smart. It's a loaded question, mister D fan. Yeah,

0:40:33.440 --> 0:40:34.040
<v Speaker 2>how do you feel?

0:40:34.360 --> 0:40:36.560
<v Speaker 1>How do you feel about this one? Dan? So? We're

0:40:36.600 --> 0:40:39.360
<v Speaker 1>talking about a top three class. We're talking about a

0:40:39.360 --> 0:40:42.360
<v Speaker 1>ton of five stars and like seventy seventy five percent

0:40:42.360 --> 0:40:43.600
<v Speaker 1>plus rkship ratio.

0:40:43.680 --> 0:40:45.279
<v Speaker 2>No, he says, do you think Notre Dame is a

0:40:45.320 --> 0:40:48.240
<v Speaker 2>coach away from the elite class like Georgia?

0:40:48.360 --> 0:40:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh the early class? Okay, I see what, Yeah say,

0:40:50.160 --> 0:40:54.480
<v Speaker 1>so upper top, wrong, upper crust of college football. And

0:40:54.520 --> 0:40:57.080
<v Speaker 1>he's comparing it to the Georgia situation when they went

0:40:57.120 --> 0:41:00.879
<v Speaker 1>from Mark Richt to Kirby smart Well. One, I don't

0:41:00.920 --> 0:41:02.800
<v Speaker 1>know who that is. I don't know who that coach

0:41:02.920 --> 0:41:05.280
<v Speaker 1>is that's taking the Notre Dame job, unless Urban Meyer's

0:41:05.280 --> 0:41:07.239
<v Speaker 1>taking it in a year or two, which I guess

0:41:07.239 --> 0:41:12.080
<v Speaker 1>it's possible. No, I think Notre Dame is in a

0:41:12.120 --> 0:41:16.680
<v Speaker 1>place where they are getting good enough classes, and it's

0:41:16.840 --> 0:41:20.640
<v Speaker 1>just they need to go undefeated, essentially, maybe eleven and

0:41:20.760 --> 0:41:24.280
<v Speaker 1>one to be in the conversation later on in the season,

0:41:24.280 --> 0:41:27.120
<v Speaker 1>because as we saw this year ten and two. And

0:41:27.160 --> 0:41:30.919
<v Speaker 1>maybe this is just me liking, you know, to see

0:41:31.160 --> 0:41:35.359
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame cause you adjuta, But do they feel sort

0:41:35.400 --> 0:41:40.400
<v Speaker 1>of college football adjacent this year? Adjacent? Yeah, college football

0:41:40.440 --> 0:41:43.560
<v Speaker 1>like playoff adjacent. Even when they were good, it felt

0:41:43.600 --> 0:41:46.239
<v Speaker 1>like we were never really having conversations about big Notre

0:41:46.280 --> 0:41:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Dame games. I think partially because big Notre Dame games

0:41:49.040 --> 0:41:51.279
<v Speaker 1>didn't really exist near the end of the year. Well,

0:41:51.280 --> 0:41:52.759
<v Speaker 1>they were out of it towards the end of the year,

0:41:53.200 --> 0:41:56.960
<v Speaker 1>right And so we are not talking about Notre Dame

0:41:57.040 --> 0:41:59.640
<v Speaker 1>in a well, if they beat Clemson in the ACC

0:41:59.800 --> 0:42:02.400
<v Speaker 1>champ and ship the like, if Notre Dame were in

0:42:02.440 --> 0:42:05.439
<v Speaker 1>the ACC Coastal, we'd be talking about a Notre Dame

0:42:05.560 --> 0:42:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Florida Sugar Bowl or Orange Bowl or whatever, right, well.

0:42:09.840 --> 0:42:11.480
<v Speaker 2>And part of that is the way that the schedule

0:42:11.560 --> 0:42:14.239
<v Speaker 2>naturally worked out. That Stanford game to close out the

0:42:14.320 --> 0:42:17.600
<v Speaker 2>year six months ago looked like it would be a

0:42:17.640 --> 0:42:20.560
<v Speaker 2>lot bigger than it ended up being. Definitely, so just

0:42:20.640 --> 0:42:23.520
<v Speaker 2>the natural rhythms of the season kind of took them

0:42:23.560 --> 0:42:25.880
<v Speaker 2>in a different direction. But after they got drilled by Michigan,

0:42:25.880 --> 0:42:28.879
<v Speaker 2>it was pretty much over. So yeah, yeah, definitely down

0:42:28.880 --> 0:42:31.919
<v Speaker 2>the stretch, we didn't talk a whole lot about Notre Dame.

0:42:32.520 --> 0:42:34.680
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a fair question to ask. I know

0:42:34.719 --> 0:42:36.319
<v Speaker 2>that there are many in the Notre Dame world that

0:42:36.360 --> 0:42:40.680
<v Speaker 2>are asking that question. The caveat, though, is that quote

0:42:40.960 --> 0:42:44.479
<v Speaker 2>being a coach away from elite is the ultimate white

0:42:44.480 --> 0:42:47.720
<v Speaker 2>whale in college football. It worked at Georgia, it doesn't

0:42:47.760 --> 0:42:52.600
<v Speaker 2>work at most places. What state is Georgia located in Georgia.

0:42:52.680 --> 0:42:55.799
<v Speaker 2>It's in Georgia. It's easier to I mean, Notre Dame

0:42:55.880 --> 0:42:57.799
<v Speaker 2>is a big national brand and should be able to

0:42:57.840 --> 0:42:59.640
<v Speaker 2>attract national talents.

0:43:00.040 --> 0:43:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Easier to attract that kind of class and get or

0:43:03.880 --> 0:43:05.400
<v Speaker 1>that kind of excuse me, that just that kind of

0:43:05.440 --> 0:43:08.400
<v Speaker 1>talent and that kind of momentum at Georgia than it

0:43:08.480 --> 0:43:10.920
<v Speaker 1>is a Notre Dame. There is a talent gap.

0:43:11.200 --> 0:43:15.520
<v Speaker 2>A school like Georgia is deeper across the board, slowly

0:43:15.520 --> 0:43:17.719
<v Speaker 2>but surely. I think Brian Kelly has gotten Notre Dame

0:43:17.719 --> 0:43:20.680
<v Speaker 2>in a much much better spot in that department. In general,

0:43:20.680 --> 0:43:23.840
<v Speaker 2>they're in pretty good shape. They're in pretty good shape.

0:43:24.000 --> 0:43:26.440
<v Speaker 2>I think, as I said all year, they're a quarterback away.

0:43:27.480 --> 0:43:29.399
<v Speaker 2>I think they can get a better quarterback that.

0:43:29.640 --> 0:43:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, now they need a coordinator too.

0:43:31.160 --> 0:43:33.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, now they need a coordinator, and maybe that coordinator

0:43:33.719 --> 0:43:35.560
<v Speaker 2>will do different things with the book. I don't know,

0:43:36.200 --> 0:43:39.040
<v Speaker 2>but I think they're a quarterback away, a more dynamic

0:43:39.120 --> 0:43:43.800
<v Speaker 2>quarterback away from maybe getting to that rung a little

0:43:43.800 --> 0:43:44.560
<v Speaker 2>more consistently.

0:43:44.600 --> 0:43:47.080
<v Speaker 1>But they're right there, they're knocking on the door. I'd

0:43:47.080 --> 0:43:50.640
<v Speaker 1>also say it's probably easier to attract a top flight

0:43:50.800 --> 0:43:54.719
<v Speaker 1>coach to Athens, Georgia. I would agree with that. Yeah,

0:43:54.960 --> 0:43:57.080
<v Speaker 1>it's a great place. Not that South Bend doesn't have

0:43:57.160 --> 0:43:59.479
<v Speaker 1>its charms. Athens, george is a great place.

0:44:00.120 --> 0:44:02.480
<v Speaker 2>You have a few more college football ones. And then

0:44:02.520 --> 0:44:03.720
<v Speaker 2>we'll go back off topic.

0:44:03.760 --> 0:44:07.680
<v Speaker 1>How many years at minimum? This is Minnesota a bomb?

0:44:07.960 --> 0:44:09.719
<v Speaker 1>This is what I'm trying to come up with, as

0:44:09.760 --> 0:44:12.040
<v Speaker 1>this person's user name. How many years at a minimum

0:44:12.080 --> 0:44:18.479
<v Speaker 1>until we see a non Clemson Clesome ACC champion, non

0:44:18.560 --> 0:44:21.759
<v Speaker 1>Clemson ACC champion. Yeah, and I guess who is the

0:44:21.760 --> 0:44:26.200
<v Speaker 1>most likely non Clemson? Wow? And how many years will

0:44:26.200 --> 0:44:33.640
<v Speaker 1>it take for said team? Man? That is tough. It's

0:44:35.719 --> 0:44:37.440
<v Speaker 1>so you don't want you nobody's nobody's gonna be as

0:44:37.520 --> 0:44:41.880
<v Speaker 1>talented in the short term, right, No.

0:44:40.640 --> 0:44:42.839
<v Speaker 2>No, I mean the natural answer would be Florida State.

0:44:43.640 --> 0:44:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Florida State's sort of that natural rival. But I don't know,

0:44:48.040 --> 0:44:52.120
<v Speaker 2>years away, I don't know. I don't know, probably three

0:44:52.200 --> 0:44:54.400
<v Speaker 2>years at a minimum.

0:44:53.960 --> 0:44:54.399
<v Speaker 1>Three years.

0:44:54.440 --> 0:44:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Miami's another one that you could throw in there.

0:44:57.960 --> 0:45:02.839
<v Speaker 2>They've got a promising freshman quarter back do they we

0:45:02.880 --> 0:45:03.600
<v Speaker 2>thought they did.

0:45:03.880 --> 0:45:06.640
<v Speaker 1>We did a whole thing on Willard, we did a

0:45:06.640 --> 0:45:07.439
<v Speaker 1>whole thing on them.

0:45:08.040 --> 0:45:13.040
<v Speaker 2>But at a minimum, it's got to be three years

0:45:13.040 --> 0:45:14.680
<v Speaker 2>for almost anybody in the ACC.

0:45:15.120 --> 0:45:18.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean it's probably three years. I think you

0:45:18.280 --> 0:45:22.920
<v Speaker 1>can sneak into two the Okay, so we're looking at

0:45:22.960 --> 0:45:26.400
<v Speaker 1>promising young quarterbacks. I think I see two or no,

0:45:26.480 --> 0:45:29.040
<v Speaker 1>I probably see three right now in the conference. That's

0:45:29.280 --> 0:45:31.840
<v Speaker 1>that's the starting point you need. I see Hendon Hooker,

0:45:32.880 --> 0:45:38.640
<v Speaker 1>I see McHale calm yeah, and I see Sam Howell. Sure,

0:45:39.360 --> 0:45:42.160
<v Speaker 1>super promising young quarterbacks is a great place to start.

0:45:43.400 --> 0:45:46.480
<v Speaker 1>I think the answer is bra. I mean, Louisville's defense

0:45:46.640 --> 0:45:50.000
<v Speaker 1>is far away. That is a that is going to

0:45:50.120 --> 0:45:54.040
<v Speaker 1>take time. Virginia Tech has a new defensive coordinator, their

0:45:54.080 --> 0:45:56.680
<v Speaker 1>offense still needs some but you're not going to find

0:45:56.719 --> 0:46:00.880
<v Speaker 1>anybody inside three years. I think I could be talked

0:46:00.880 --> 0:46:06.200
<v Speaker 1>into Virginia Tech within two geez yeah. Or I could

0:46:06.200 --> 0:46:10.760
<v Speaker 1>actually be talked into man if Sam Howell keeps progressing.

0:46:10.920 --> 0:46:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Sam How's real good. He is real good. You see.

0:46:14.880 --> 0:46:19.040
<v Speaker 1>The thing is, I think it's going to be easier

0:46:19.080 --> 0:46:22.759
<v Speaker 1>to beat Clemson by just jumping up and getting them

0:46:22.920 --> 0:46:26.440
<v Speaker 1>late September and having that game advantage and run the

0:46:26.440 --> 0:46:28.919
<v Speaker 1>table in the Atlantic, or just finished with a better

0:46:28.960 --> 0:46:31.279
<v Speaker 1>record than it is to get Clemson at the end

0:46:31.320 --> 0:46:33.800
<v Speaker 1>of the season and beat them in late November early December.

0:46:33.920 --> 0:46:37.560
<v Speaker 1>That's fair. So that's why I almost favor Louisville here

0:46:38.160 --> 0:46:39.960
<v Speaker 1>that if in two years they get to a place

0:46:40.040 --> 0:46:43.800
<v Speaker 1>with transfers or whatever, Michael Cunningham still looks really strong.

0:46:44.360 --> 0:46:46.560
<v Speaker 1>That might be why my answers Louisville. Actually, all right,

0:46:46.600 --> 0:46:49.919
<v Speaker 1>next question, where are we going? Next question, let's go

0:46:50.040 --> 0:46:54.000
<v Speaker 1>to but we had a bunch of good ones here,

0:46:55.640 --> 0:47:00.400
<v Speaker 1>did I skip? I'm already onto the non college football.

0:47:01.160 --> 0:47:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to Sam Sam near the top of page one.

0:47:06.000 --> 0:47:08.960
<v Speaker 1>I always like that name. Okay, why should any fan

0:47:09.040 --> 0:47:11.680
<v Speaker 1>of a team other than Ohio State, Alabama, LSU, Georgia,

0:47:11.800 --> 0:47:14.560
<v Speaker 1>or Clemson think their team stands a chance of winning

0:47:14.560 --> 0:47:17.960
<v Speaker 1>a national championship in the next ten years? And let's

0:47:18.000 --> 0:47:21.719
<v Speaker 1>pair this question with Trevor, who asks, when, in your

0:47:21.760 --> 0:47:24.360
<v Speaker 1>opinion does a program stop being considered a blue blood

0:47:24.440 --> 0:47:27.640
<v Speaker 1>or when does it move to blue blood status? Okay,

0:47:27.920 --> 0:47:30.640
<v Speaker 1>because if we are going to work under the presumption

0:47:30.800 --> 0:47:33.839
<v Speaker 1>that you need to be or on the verge of

0:47:33.880 --> 0:47:37.000
<v Speaker 1>becoming a quote blue blood to win a national championship

0:47:37.040 --> 0:47:38.799
<v Speaker 1>where you're gonna have to have more depth than you

0:47:38.840 --> 0:47:40.960
<v Speaker 1>did before because you're gonna have to win two games

0:47:41.320 --> 0:47:44.680
<v Speaker 1>on neutral sites and big stages. How do we determine

0:47:44.719 --> 0:47:50.000
<v Speaker 1>blue bloodiness and why would fans outside of those current strong,

0:47:50.360 --> 0:47:53.120
<v Speaker 1>strong programs feel like they have a chance.

0:47:54.040 --> 0:47:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's a good question, and it really strikes you.

0:47:57.600 --> 0:47:58.839
<v Speaker 2>It really strikes at the.

0:47:58.800 --> 0:48:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Heart of why we root for college football at all.

0:48:01.760 --> 0:48:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, certainly there's investment being made, there are beat writers

0:48:06.960 --> 0:48:10.280
<v Speaker 2>writing about the investment being made, and there's no shortage

0:48:10.280 --> 0:48:12.400
<v Speaker 2>of fan enthusiasm, especially in the beginning of the year

0:48:12.440 --> 0:48:15.120
<v Speaker 2>when everyone's undefeated. So it's not hard for me to

0:48:15.160 --> 0:48:17.000
<v Speaker 2>understand how people feel like they.

0:48:16.880 --> 0:48:21.239
<v Speaker 1>Have a chance. So without knowing who Sam roots for,

0:48:21.600 --> 0:48:25.640
<v Speaker 1>because let's assume Sam roots for a team that's a

0:48:25.719 --> 0:48:30.000
<v Speaker 1>rung or two below Ohio State, Alabamalysy, Georgia, Clemson, Oklahoma,

0:48:30.000 --> 0:48:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I would include in that because if you make multiple playoffs,

0:48:32.440 --> 0:48:37.759
<v Speaker 1>you're in that conversation, right, So, what you're a Notre

0:48:37.840 --> 0:48:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Dame fan, you root for a team that's you know,

0:48:39.520 --> 0:48:41.279
<v Speaker 1>a rung below. I'm an Oregon fan. I root for

0:48:41.320 --> 0:48:42.520
<v Speaker 1>a team that's a rung below.

0:48:42.800 --> 0:48:45.360
<v Speaker 2>How do we have a chance we make the playoff

0:48:45.440 --> 0:48:47.040
<v Speaker 2>and we get a chance to beat that team on

0:48:47.080 --> 0:48:47.480
<v Speaker 2>the field.

0:48:48.200 --> 0:48:50.880
<v Speaker 1>No, but you know that those teams are operating at

0:48:50.920 --> 0:48:51.720
<v Speaker 1>a higher level.

0:48:51.840 --> 0:48:54.280
<v Speaker 2>They're operating at a higher level. But you make the playoff,

0:48:54.280 --> 0:48:56.920
<v Speaker 2>you have a chance. All you can ask for is

0:48:56.920 --> 0:48:57.839
<v Speaker 2>to give yourself a chance.

0:48:58.120 --> 0:49:00.880
<v Speaker 1>So I think the feudal name nature of this question

0:49:00.960 --> 0:49:04.280
<v Speaker 1>comes from the fact that we've seen what one team

0:49:04.400 --> 0:49:06.920
<v Speaker 1>or one and a half teams from outside the general

0:49:06.960 --> 0:49:10.040
<v Speaker 1>consensus of that blue blood group make the playoff. Right,

0:49:10.760 --> 0:49:13.320
<v Speaker 1>we saw Michigan State. How did they fare against Alabama?

0:49:13.360 --> 0:49:17.280
<v Speaker 1>I got smoked, not super great, It was super evident

0:49:17.320 --> 0:49:19.160
<v Speaker 1>that they were just they did not blow On the

0:49:19.200 --> 0:49:21.920
<v Speaker 1>same field, we saw Oregon win a game against the

0:49:21.920 --> 0:49:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Florida State team, who I will still argue that Florida

0:49:24.719 --> 0:49:27.640
<v Speaker 1>State team was clearly more talented. They were just a mess.

0:49:27.680 --> 0:49:30.920
<v Speaker 1>And that's my points that's my point right there. But

0:49:31.400 --> 0:49:33.279
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about an Oregon team who had already been

0:49:33.320 --> 0:49:36.400
<v Speaker 1>to a national championship, who had been to four straight

0:49:36.520 --> 0:49:39.480
<v Speaker 1>BCS Bowls at that point, or it was four out

0:49:39.480 --> 0:49:41.359
<v Speaker 1>of five. It was like it was a year after

0:49:41.440 --> 0:49:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Chip left. They went to the Almo Bowl in twenty thirteen.

0:49:43.760 --> 0:49:46.960
<v Speaker 1>But Chip Kelly took Oregon to four straight BCS Bowls,

0:49:47.520 --> 0:49:50.440
<v Speaker 1>so it was not a matter of them. And I

0:49:50.480 --> 0:49:53.200
<v Speaker 1>know Michigan State had success leading up as well, but

0:49:53.320 --> 0:49:56.400
<v Speaker 1>there is an element of not exactly having the depth.

0:49:56.440 --> 0:49:58.879
<v Speaker 1>As we saw Oregon against Ohio State, they were down

0:49:58.920 --> 0:50:01.480
<v Speaker 1>too many players. In Ohio State, even though they were

0:50:01.480 --> 0:50:04.600
<v Speaker 1>down to their third string quarterback, that third string quarterback

0:50:04.719 --> 0:50:08.560
<v Speaker 1>was plenty good. And so that's the issue. That's the

0:50:08.560 --> 0:50:11.440
<v Speaker 1>issue at hand is that teams generally outside of that

0:50:11.520 --> 0:50:15.399
<v Speaker 1>grouping plus Oklahoma, I would say that he named are

0:50:15.480 --> 0:50:17.560
<v Speaker 1>just not going to be able to weather the grind

0:50:17.600 --> 0:50:20.520
<v Speaker 1>of going through both going through a season probably undefeated,

0:50:20.760 --> 0:50:22.160
<v Speaker 1>because you're not going to get the benefit of the

0:50:22.160 --> 0:50:25.320
<v Speaker 1>doubt with one or two losses and then going through

0:50:25.440 --> 0:50:28.880
<v Speaker 1>two of those teams. So my answer to him is,

0:50:29.480 --> 0:50:32.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to bring this full circle. National championship doesn't matter.

0:50:33.600 --> 0:50:33.759
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:50:34.520 --> 0:50:36.439
<v Speaker 1>You went into this season as a Notre Dame fan

0:50:36.520 --> 0:50:39.560
<v Speaker 1>without any designs of Notre Dame going to the National championship, right,

0:50:40.520 --> 0:50:42.600
<v Speaker 1>I did not believe that they would be a contender,

0:50:43.200 --> 0:50:45.719
<v Speaker 1>But you watched and you enjoyed yourself. I mean I

0:50:45.760 --> 0:50:47.399
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't say that. That doesn't mean I can't.

0:50:47.440 --> 0:50:49.720
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't mean yourself for them to make it though,

0:50:49.840 --> 0:50:51.840
<v Speaker 2>right totally, which there is.

0:50:52.360 --> 0:50:55.759
<v Speaker 1>There's the hope. But you shouldn't have designs of it.

0:50:56.200 --> 0:50:56.680
<v Speaker 1>You just just.

0:50:57.400 --> 0:50:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Is the most illogical argument I've ever heard in my life.

0:51:00.600 --> 0:51:03.040
<v Speaker 2>You should not root for your team to win the championship.

0:51:03.120 --> 0:51:05.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna write note that here, Okay, and.

0:51:05.040 --> 0:51:07.279
<v Speaker 1>I should also mention Notre Dame made it to the

0:51:07.320 --> 0:51:10.479
<v Speaker 1>playoff last year for the first time and didn't hang

0:51:10.520 --> 0:51:12.120
<v Speaker 1>with the team that was put in front of them.

0:51:12.560 --> 0:51:14.800
<v Speaker 1>They did one point better than Alabama, though the defense

0:51:14.880 --> 0:51:17.440
<v Speaker 1>right point better than Alabai. Moving on, where are we

0:51:17.480 --> 0:51:21.440
<v Speaker 1>going next? No, but my general point is if you

0:51:21.600 --> 0:51:25.719
<v Speaker 1>view the sport as having a point beyond the national Championship,

0:51:25.880 --> 0:51:28.080
<v Speaker 1>which I think you should. I think you should, I should,

0:51:28.120 --> 0:51:30.239
<v Speaker 1>everybody should. And it's great if you root for one

0:51:30.280 --> 0:51:33.480
<v Speaker 1>of those great teams by all means have laser focus

0:51:33.560 --> 0:51:36.120
<v Speaker 1>on the national Championship. There's one hundred and twenty other teams,

0:51:36.280 --> 0:51:38.319
<v Speaker 1>and I think it's totally good to just root for

0:51:38.360 --> 0:51:41.799
<v Speaker 1>your team to play well. I root for your team

0:51:41.800 --> 0:51:44.600
<v Speaker 1>to play. Well, I don't. I don't.

0:51:45.160 --> 0:51:47.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to call it like the hipster better

0:51:47.800 --> 0:51:50.560
<v Speaker 2>than the championship argument, but it that's the only way

0:51:50.560 --> 0:51:51.359
<v Speaker 2>I could describe it.

0:51:51.400 --> 0:51:54.320
<v Speaker 1>I just I just fundamentally disagree. I don't know. That's okay,

0:51:54.480 --> 0:51:57.279
<v Speaker 1>that's all right. I just disagree. Why don't Since we

0:51:57.360 --> 0:51:59.080
<v Speaker 1>just brought it full circle and we're only having we're

0:51:59.080 --> 0:52:01.520
<v Speaker 1>only doing a few more minutes of the show, why

0:52:01.560 --> 0:52:04.480
<v Speaker 1>don't we designate this portion of the show to say,

0:52:04.680 --> 0:52:07.480
<v Speaker 1>if you came here for college football Talk, yes, get out.

0:52:08.000 --> 0:52:10.200
<v Speaker 1>That was so amazing of you to download the show

0:52:10.200 --> 0:52:12.200
<v Speaker 1>and to listen, and hopefully you liked at least part

0:52:12.239 --> 0:52:14.880
<v Speaker 1>of it. We're going to move on to other topics now. Yes,

0:52:15.320 --> 0:52:16.759
<v Speaker 1>let's hit a couple of these. And it's been you

0:52:16.800 --> 0:52:19.160
<v Speaker 1>know what, it feels great to do so ty it does.

0:52:19.800 --> 0:52:23.640
<v Speaker 1>It's nice. So we asked you to give us questions

0:52:23.719 --> 0:52:25.759
<v Speaker 1>both about college football, and we also said I think

0:52:25.760 --> 0:52:30.840
<v Speaker 1>I said grocery stores, meeting your spouse's families, travel for

0:52:30.960 --> 0:52:33.880
<v Speaker 1>bowl season, which I guess is college football related. I

0:52:33.920 --> 0:52:36.879
<v Speaker 1>don't remember if it was. Oh, in sleep all things

0:52:36.920 --> 0:52:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel passionately about. Sure, let's start here. Brian says,

0:52:41.080 --> 0:52:44.759
<v Speaker 1>compounding the joy I felt watching LSU's historic season was

0:52:44.760 --> 0:52:48.120
<v Speaker 1>sharing it with my new girlfriend from Monterey, Mexico. Money.

0:52:48.120 --> 0:52:50.720
<v Speaker 1>It's great down there. She will be meeting my large

0:52:50.719 --> 0:52:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Cajun family for the first time, and that includes watching

0:52:53.640 --> 0:52:57.400
<v Speaker 1>the LSU Oklahoma game. My question is her English is

0:52:57.640 --> 0:53:01.320
<v Speaker 1>just okay, and my family sounds like like a sleepy coach.

0:53:01.440 --> 0:53:04.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, just a great way to describe people. What

0:53:04.280 --> 0:53:07.960
<v Speaker 1>should my instructions be to my relatives? I am worried

0:53:08.040 --> 0:53:10.759
<v Speaker 1>my family will overdo it and try too hard to

0:53:10.760 --> 0:53:14.640
<v Speaker 1>communicate with her by talking slowly and loudly to her

0:53:14.680 --> 0:53:17.480
<v Speaker 1>in English when it will not obviously will not help

0:53:17.520 --> 0:53:21.279
<v Speaker 1>and only make her feel like a toddler. Okay, So

0:53:22.840 --> 0:53:27.399
<v Speaker 1>my advice would be to just tell your family, Hey,

0:53:27.440 --> 0:53:31.960
<v Speaker 1>she's from somewhere else. She's decent at speaking English. Whatever

0:53:32.000 --> 0:53:36.280
<v Speaker 1>she doesn't pick up naturally, she'll probably get by context clues,

0:53:36.800 --> 0:53:39.879
<v Speaker 1>and if I'm nearby, I can always pipe up if

0:53:39.880 --> 0:53:43.560
<v Speaker 1>I feel like she's looking really, really confused. But I'm

0:53:43.600 --> 0:53:46.840
<v Speaker 1>assuming that Brian's girlfriend is a grown up, and so

0:53:47.320 --> 0:53:50.880
<v Speaker 1>it's it's basically, don't you Brian treat her like a

0:53:50.920 --> 0:53:53.239
<v Speaker 1>toddler and don't and tell your family. Just be like,

0:53:53.640 --> 0:53:56.760
<v Speaker 1>just talk. It's cool, She'll pick it up. It's fine.

0:53:56.840 --> 0:53:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, he has an aster risk here that she understands

0:53:59.480 --> 0:54:02.440
<v Speaker 2>the rules of football because she grew up watching the

0:54:02.560 --> 0:54:06.839
<v Speaker 2>Mexican college football LIGAC. Yeah, which he said he had

0:54:06.840 --> 0:54:09.120
<v Speaker 2>no idea has been around since the nineteen twenties.

0:54:09.680 --> 0:54:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, so.

0:54:12.760 --> 0:54:16.319
<v Speaker 2>You know football, football's universal language. There, start there and

0:54:16.360 --> 0:54:18.680
<v Speaker 2>branch your way out. But no, no, don't treat her

0:54:18.680 --> 0:54:19.480
<v Speaker 2>any differently man.

0:54:19.880 --> 0:54:24.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I would say, you know, maybe if there is

0:54:24.280 --> 0:54:29.200
<v Speaker 1>a specific relative who is difficult to understand and might

0:54:29.440 --> 0:54:33.480
<v Speaker 1>wade into weird waters, maybe don't leave her alone with him.

0:54:35.120 --> 0:54:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Maybe be conscious that group settings involved, so that you

0:54:38.560 --> 0:54:40.839
<v Speaker 1>have an ear to the wall to jump in if

0:54:40.960 --> 0:54:45.000
<v Speaker 1>need be. But otherwise, yeah, I if Brian's smart enough

0:54:45.040 --> 0:54:46.480
<v Speaker 1>to email our show, he's smart enough to have a

0:54:46.520 --> 0:54:49.440
<v Speaker 1>cool girlfriend, so I assume everything will be good. All right,

0:54:49.480 --> 0:54:51.799
<v Speaker 1>Where are we going next? Brad wants to know he's

0:54:51.840 --> 0:54:54.600
<v Speaker 1>going to Japan. I love that we're going international at

0:54:54.640 --> 0:54:57.520
<v Speaker 1>this one. Okay, going to Japan over Christmas to meet

0:54:57.560 --> 0:55:01.080
<v Speaker 1>my girlfriend's parents for the first time, ask their permission

0:55:01.160 --> 0:55:05.880
<v Speaker 1>to marry their daughter. Whoa They don't speak English, so

0:55:06.480 --> 0:55:10.760
<v Speaker 1>girlfriend will translate any suggestions on what to say. Mahalo

0:55:10.840 --> 0:55:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Brad in Hawaii. And actually it turns out Uh, a

0:55:14.160 --> 0:55:18.600
<v Speaker 1>coworker of JODI's who is from Japan but lives here,

0:55:19.280 --> 0:55:23.080
<v Speaker 1>is half Japanese. And I think her father, I forget,

0:55:23.360 --> 0:55:25.200
<v Speaker 1>is his half Japanese. But her parents are in Japan

0:55:25.320 --> 0:55:27.000
<v Speaker 1>married O guy that's from the state, so they have

0:55:27.040 --> 0:55:30.000
<v Speaker 1>a similar thing. Although I think there's slightly less of

0:55:30.000 --> 0:55:32.600
<v Speaker 1>a language barrier, but still a language barrier. What's your

0:55:32.600 --> 0:55:34.600
<v Speaker 1>advice for Brad? Let me ask you a question.

0:55:35.200 --> 0:55:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, now, you had a much more creative proposal than

0:55:39.040 --> 0:55:39.359
<v Speaker 2>I did.

0:55:39.880 --> 0:55:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Yeah, Would it.

0:55:41.160 --> 0:55:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Be too big a risk for Brad to just go

0:55:46.719 --> 0:55:51.680
<v Speaker 2>hardcore into the Japanese language right for the next couple weeks,

0:55:51.719 --> 0:55:52.480
<v Speaker 2>however long.

0:55:52.840 --> 0:55:54.320
<v Speaker 1>And become fully fluent.

0:55:54.400 --> 0:55:58.880
<v Speaker 2>No no, no no no no no, no, A one trick pony, Yeah,

0:55:58.920 --> 0:56:01.840
<v Speaker 2>just learn how to say hey, this one thing. Is

0:56:01.880 --> 0:56:04.160
<v Speaker 2>that too much of a risk, because I guarantee you

0:56:04.160 --> 0:56:05.680
<v Speaker 2>the parents would appreciate.

0:56:05.320 --> 0:56:09.120
<v Speaker 1>It, So I think you are completely on the right track. Tie.

0:56:09.719 --> 0:56:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I would go a little further, I would say, and

0:56:12.120 --> 0:56:14.840
<v Speaker 1>it appears, And I did some digging about Brad oh a, right.

0:56:15.160 --> 0:56:17.960
<v Speaker 1>If this comes sorry, if this comes off as now

0:56:18.000 --> 0:56:20.879
<v Speaker 1>I didn't actually do anything, I have your social security No. No,

0:56:21.080 --> 0:56:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I think Brad lists a bunch of different places. Like

0:56:24.280 --> 0:56:26.279
<v Speaker 1>he says mahalo because he's Brad in Hawaii, but he's

0:56:26.320 --> 0:56:29.879
<v Speaker 1>Hawaii via a couple of other international destinations. Okay, so

0:56:29.920 --> 0:56:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I say, steer into his international background. Find somebody at

0:56:34.640 --> 0:56:37.719
<v Speaker 1>a local university, find somebody on Reddit. Honestly, if there's

0:56:37.719 --> 0:56:40.680
<v Speaker 1>a verballer who's fluent in Japanese, what I would say,

0:56:40.880 --> 0:56:44.040
<v Speaker 1>people in Japan who listen. Yeah, that's true. Oh man,

0:56:44.120 --> 0:56:46.800
<v Speaker 1>what is it? Brian C Brian Jones, Oh yeah, yeah,

0:56:46.960 --> 0:56:49.400
<v Speaker 1>longtime listener. Maybe get at him. We can connect you.

0:56:49.480 --> 0:56:51.640
<v Speaker 1>We'll connect here that I know that this is weird enough.

0:56:52.040 --> 0:56:54.719
<v Speaker 1>We know our listeners. We do know our listeners. What

0:56:54.760 --> 0:56:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying is, connect with somebody who knows Japanese. Write

0:56:59.200 --> 0:57:02.520
<v Speaker 1>out what you want to say. Say your daughter means

0:57:02.560 --> 0:57:05.440
<v Speaker 1>the world to me. I couldn't imagine being with anybody else. Really,

0:57:05.480 --> 0:57:07.960
<v Speaker 1>speak from the heart, really go for it. It doesn't

0:57:07.960 --> 0:57:10.360
<v Speaker 1>have to be you know, paragraphs and paragraphs and paragraphs,

0:57:10.680 --> 0:57:13.000
<v Speaker 1>but speak from the heart. Figure out what you want

0:57:13.040 --> 0:57:16.720
<v Speaker 1>to say. Write it down, find somebody fluent in Japanese

0:57:17.200 --> 0:57:20.840
<v Speaker 1>and see if you can get them to translate, and

0:57:21.720 --> 0:57:24.360
<v Speaker 1>see if you can really get it phonetically, you know,

0:57:24.480 --> 0:57:28.240
<v Speaker 1>pronounced for you, and to a video of it. Do

0:57:28.480 --> 0:57:31.280
<v Speaker 1>make a video of you saying these things to her parents,

0:57:31.840 --> 0:57:35.439
<v Speaker 1>bring it on your phone, show them. And also, if

0:57:35.440 --> 0:57:38.200
<v Speaker 1>you can, and if you do get it translated, get

0:57:38.240 --> 0:57:40.800
<v Speaker 1>it translated in a letter that you can give to them.

0:57:40.840 --> 0:57:43.280
<v Speaker 1>So that's what I did with Jody with an I's parents.

0:57:43.320 --> 0:57:46.200
<v Speaker 1>He translated into Japanese. I did it all in Japanese.

0:57:46.280 --> 0:57:48.360
<v Speaker 1>I actually did it both in Japanese and in a

0:57:48.400 --> 0:57:50.800
<v Speaker 1>couple of other languages, just to be saying far see

0:57:50.920 --> 0:57:53.920
<v Speaker 1>and whatnot sure for sure, but I would also include

0:57:53.960 --> 0:57:58.560
<v Speaker 1>in the video I say this in the video in Japanese.

0:57:59.000 --> 0:58:02.320
<v Speaker 1>I only learned this part, so I will be unable

0:58:02.360 --> 0:58:04.200
<v Speaker 1>to answer questions.

0:58:04.360 --> 0:58:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's an important disclaimer. Yes, that's an important disclaimer.

0:58:07.880 --> 0:58:10.800
<v Speaker 2>So I get so our answer here to Brad, it

0:58:10.880 --> 0:58:13.400
<v Speaker 2>depends on how risky he wants to get.

0:58:13.440 --> 0:58:15.640
<v Speaker 1>If he thinks he's going to be nervous, I think

0:58:15.680 --> 0:58:17.680
<v Speaker 1>you have to do that. I would do that myself,

0:58:18.040 --> 0:58:19.600
<v Speaker 1>one hundred percent do it. I will not. I would

0:58:19.600 --> 0:58:21.440
<v Speaker 1>not advise it. If I weren't going to do it myself,

0:58:21.760 --> 0:58:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I'd say you have to do it on video because

0:58:23.840 --> 0:58:26.640
<v Speaker 1>it also shows effort. Right, you're not asking permission in

0:58:26.680 --> 0:58:28.840
<v Speaker 1>the traditional sense like it, They're not probably not going

0:58:28.880 --> 0:58:29.240
<v Speaker 1>to say no.

0:58:29.320 --> 0:58:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, the language shows effort. Regardless you learn the language,

0:58:32.040 --> 0:58:35.760
<v Speaker 2>it shows effort. It shows effort. Her parents will appreciate that.

0:58:35.960 --> 0:58:40.200
<v Speaker 2>So whether you do it live and fight off the nerves,

0:58:40.720 --> 0:58:43.360
<v Speaker 2>or if you decide to go more of the production

0:58:43.440 --> 0:58:46.040
<v Speaker 2>route and do the video. Either way, it's got to

0:58:46.040 --> 0:58:46.720
<v Speaker 2>be in Japanese.

0:58:46.760 --> 0:58:48.680
<v Speaker 1>We agree on this. It has to be has to

0:58:48.680 --> 0:58:52.160
<v Speaker 1>be in Japanese, and we will if anybody's listening is

0:58:52.160 --> 0:58:54.080
<v Speaker 1>fluent in Japanese and will want to help Brad out

0:58:54.360 --> 0:58:57.080
<v Speaker 1>solid verbal at gmail dot com. If not, maybe I

0:58:57.080 --> 0:58:59.840
<v Speaker 1>can try to ask Jody's coworker. I'm sure we have Japanese.

0:59:00.000 --> 0:59:02.680
<v Speaker 1>We will make this work for Brad. We will, Okay,

0:59:02.760 --> 0:59:05.040
<v Speaker 1>So I'm glad we agree on that. This was a

0:59:05.120 --> 0:59:07.640
<v Speaker 1>question that was sort of contentious at one point in

0:59:07.680 --> 0:59:12.480
<v Speaker 1>our show. Really it was about dogs. Oh boy, Oh

0:59:12.640 --> 0:59:16.880
<v Speaker 1>not this one again. Oh No, what's Tie's opinion? Because

0:59:16.920 --> 0:59:19.240
<v Speaker 1>sleep is one of the things we offered questions about

0:59:19.400 --> 0:59:22.040
<v Speaker 1>what's Tie's opinion on letting his dogs sleep with him.

0:59:22.720 --> 0:59:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Who has, Dan Klobashar, who has I find it possible.

0:59:26.880 --> 0:59:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I find it possibly less RESTful when one of my

0:59:28.960 --> 0:59:31.000
<v Speaker 1>dogs sleeps with me, But it's nice in the winter

0:59:31.120 --> 0:59:34.760
<v Speaker 1>to use one for heat fore, so well, he's up

0:59:34.760 --> 0:59:37.960
<v Speaker 1>in Minnesota, so he needs that. Yes, and you sleep

0:59:37.960 --> 0:59:40.600
<v Speaker 1>next to your wife, who I don't imagine provides a

0:59:40.600 --> 0:59:42.960
<v Speaker 1>lot of heat because she's just a smaller lady. So

0:59:43.000 --> 0:59:46.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe your dog a furry presence in your life. Sure,

0:59:46.960 --> 0:59:49.320
<v Speaker 1>does your dog sleep in bed with you ever? Not yet?

0:59:49.560 --> 0:59:50.720
<v Speaker 1>But she's just a pup.

0:59:51.040 --> 0:59:55.160
<v Speaker 2>The solid puppy has woven herself into our lives. Sure

0:59:55.280 --> 0:59:58.000
<v Speaker 2>in such a way that I think we're at some

0:59:58.160 --> 1:00:01.440
<v Speaker 2>point going to broach that subject. See if see if

1:00:01.480 --> 1:00:04.040
<v Speaker 2>she's interested in coming up to sleep in the same room.

1:00:04.120 --> 1:00:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Now, I'm not as different than bed. Room is different

1:00:07.440 --> 1:00:07.880
<v Speaker 1>than bed.

1:00:08.240 --> 1:00:12.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to like box myself in here by

1:00:12.840 --> 1:00:15.440
<v Speaker 2>saying if the dog decides to jump up and sleep

1:00:15.520 --> 1:00:18.080
<v Speaker 2>at our feet, then I'm gonna kick her off because

1:00:18.120 --> 1:00:21.520
<v Speaker 2>I won't. I don't think i'd be too gung ho

1:00:21.640 --> 1:00:24.320
<v Speaker 2>and having her sleep like next to me on the pillow.

1:00:24.720 --> 1:00:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Especially if you have allergy issues. That's like, that's three

1:00:27.400 --> 1:00:29.040
<v Speaker 1>hours of dander right up your nose.

1:00:29.280 --> 1:00:32.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's not a good option, But I think I

1:00:32.920 --> 1:00:35.960
<v Speaker 2>could be swayed into her at our feet.

1:00:36.120 --> 1:00:39.200
<v Speaker 1>What if we end up going back to a Dakota

1:00:39.560 --> 1:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>next year? Right? Okay, we go see the Jacks in

1:00:43.000 --> 1:00:47.880
<v Speaker 1>South Dakota. Yeah, yeah, and you come back home. Kate's

1:00:47.880 --> 1:00:51.439
<v Speaker 1>been home obviously a couple days without you. She was like, Oh,

1:00:51.560 --> 1:00:54.360
<v Speaker 1>the the dog actually really likes sleeping in bed, and

1:00:54.400 --> 1:00:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I like it. Are you putting up a fight? Are you?

1:00:59.760 --> 1:01:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Is that what a foot down issue for you that

1:01:01.880 --> 1:01:03.400
<v Speaker 1>you're like, you know what, I don't know if that's

1:01:03.440 --> 1:01:06.080
<v Speaker 1>my favorite thing or are you just gonna roll with it?

1:01:06.880 --> 1:01:08.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it depends if I have my spot in

1:01:08.640 --> 1:01:12.400
<v Speaker 1>the bed right, Let's say it's an adjusted spot. Let's

1:01:12.400 --> 1:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>say the dog takes up part of the dmz Ah,

1:01:16.320 --> 1:01:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know. Such a good question.

1:01:22.160 --> 1:01:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Next question, Jason wants to know, how do you feel

1:01:23.960 --> 1:01:27.320
<v Speaker 1>about Trader Joe's. My contention is that they don't carry

1:01:27.320 --> 1:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>many pantry staples, and therefore it's not one stop grocery shopping,

1:01:30.960 --> 1:01:33.440
<v Speaker 1>and we have a couple of grocery store questions. Cody

1:01:33.480 --> 1:01:36.440
<v Speaker 1>asked about if we prefer regional or national chains, like

1:01:36.480 --> 1:01:39.360
<v Speaker 1>a wind Dixie, Public's, Wegmans, or a Walmart would be

1:01:39.360 --> 1:01:42.000
<v Speaker 1>a national chain. Trader Joe's is a national chain. Is

1:01:42.040 --> 1:01:46.560
<v Speaker 1>this decision based on price, service, convenience? Tie? Right? You

1:01:46.600 --> 1:01:48.760
<v Speaker 1>know you are one stop shopper though. You know my

1:01:48.800 --> 1:01:52.080
<v Speaker 1>stance on Trader Joe's, right, I know you're afraid. I'm

1:01:52.120 --> 1:01:54.000
<v Speaker 1>not afraid. That's what I've heard.

1:01:54.320 --> 1:01:58.200
<v Speaker 2>I think Trader Joe's tries to be tries a little

1:01:58.240 --> 1:02:01.320
<v Speaker 2>too hard to be unique, and people swear by Trader Joe's.

1:02:01.360 --> 1:02:03.080
<v Speaker 1>I know, you go to a grocery store that has

1:02:03.120 --> 1:02:06.560
<v Speaker 1>a pub in it, a craft beer pub tie. Yeah,

1:02:06.600 --> 1:02:11.000
<v Speaker 1>but it's a Wegman's. It's a Wegmans. My theory on

1:02:11.040 --> 1:02:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Trader Joe's do you even have a Trader Joe's near you?

1:02:14.240 --> 1:02:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, Okay, I don't.

1:02:16.720 --> 1:02:19.320
<v Speaker 2>My theory with Trader Joe's is that all of the

1:02:19.360 --> 1:02:23.520
<v Speaker 2>prepared foods have one ingredient that does not belong because

1:02:23.520 --> 1:02:25.400
<v Speaker 2>they're trying to be just a little too creative.

1:02:25.640 --> 1:02:27.520
<v Speaker 1>So a sandwich with.

1:02:27.560 --> 1:02:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Maybe like turkey and cheese and mayonnaise, and maybe something

1:02:34.600 --> 1:02:37.960
<v Speaker 2>crazy like peanut butter. Like that's not a good example.

1:02:38.040 --> 1:02:42.120
<v Speaker 2>But there's always one ingredient that is a little too

1:02:42.160 --> 1:02:43.040
<v Speaker 2>avant garde.

1:02:43.240 --> 1:02:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Use you're out on turkey peanut butter sandwiches. I am,

1:02:45.680 --> 1:02:48.160
<v Speaker 1>believe it or not, I'm not going to. Trader Joe's

1:02:48.200 --> 1:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>is not a sponsor. I'm a big fan of Trader Joe's,

1:02:51.080 --> 1:02:53.880
<v Speaker 1>mostly because it's not terribly far from me. There are

1:02:53.920 --> 1:02:57.320
<v Speaker 1>a couple of them in Brooklyn, so it's convenient. It's large.

1:02:57.400 --> 1:02:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Grocery stores in New York are generally terrible. I don't

1:02:59.760 --> 1:03:02.800
<v Speaker 1>want to go to whole Foods, so I like it.

1:03:02.880 --> 1:03:04.760
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of private label stuff. It's not like

1:03:04.760 --> 1:03:07.040
<v Speaker 1>they're making everything. Sure, you just got to know where

1:03:07.040 --> 1:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>they're strong and where they're not. But like, if their

1:03:09.320 --> 1:03:11.560
<v Speaker 1>meat isn't that good, that's okay. There are butchers around,

1:03:11.720 --> 1:03:13.400
<v Speaker 1>and so it's not one stop shot. But I would

1:03:13.440 --> 1:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>argue that many grocery stores shouldn't be looked at as

1:03:16.320 --> 1:03:18.280
<v Speaker 1>one stop shot. What do you really care?

1:03:18.400 --> 1:03:21.680
<v Speaker 2>What's interesting though, there is a store nearby that I

1:03:21.720 --> 1:03:25.360
<v Speaker 2>would compare to a Trader Joe's. Okay, And you find

1:03:25.400 --> 1:03:28.080
<v Speaker 2>that as you go to that store more frequently. You

1:03:28.120 --> 1:03:31.080
<v Speaker 2>sort of talk yourself into the weird stuff, like, oh,

1:03:31.120 --> 1:03:33.360
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of that's kind of interesting. Maybe I'll give

1:03:33.400 --> 1:03:36.440
<v Speaker 2>that a shot. So I certainly get the allure. I've

1:03:36.480 --> 1:03:39.680
<v Speaker 2>had bad experiences at Trader Joe's, but if there were

1:03:39.720 --> 1:03:41.040
<v Speaker 2>one yearby, I'd probably go.

1:03:41.720 --> 1:03:44.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm full of a We have a bunch of questions.

1:03:44.360 --> 1:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Somebody asked about the weirdest place I fell asleep an infant,

1:03:49.680 --> 1:03:52.760
<v Speaker 1>But weird. It's not weird, are the questioner? I think?

1:03:52.920 --> 1:03:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Is it Kelly? Old friend Kelly, And by old I

1:03:56.320 --> 1:03:59.080
<v Speaker 1>mean the number of years, not the person being old. Sure,

1:03:59.840 --> 1:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>it appears that she fell asleep in a dental chair,

1:04:04.040 --> 1:04:06.080
<v Speaker 1>which would be tough. I could do that. I've fallen

1:04:06.080 --> 1:04:10.120
<v Speaker 1>asleep on his playmat while playing, but not in public,

1:04:10.160 --> 1:04:15.920
<v Speaker 1>not from being deprived of sleep. Other sleep questions. Best

1:04:15.960 --> 1:04:18.800
<v Speaker 1>strategy for sleep with a newborn You gotta take turns,

1:04:19.160 --> 1:04:21.320
<v Speaker 1>gotta take turns with your spouse. You got to get

1:04:21.360 --> 1:04:25.280
<v Speaker 1>windows in. I would strongly recommend not a sponsor, but

1:04:25.600 --> 1:04:28.080
<v Speaker 1>sleep training. And the one we used is a program

1:04:28.120 --> 1:04:32.440
<v Speaker 1>called Taken Kara Babies. It's a woman named Kara, and

1:04:32.480 --> 1:04:35.360
<v Speaker 1>it was great. Little man was sleeping before Jody with

1:04:35.360 --> 1:04:38.400
<v Speaker 1>and I went back to work. Sleep. How do you

1:04:38.400 --> 1:04:40.200
<v Speaker 1>accomplish it? Ty, how do you accomplish it?

1:04:40.240 --> 1:04:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

1:04:40.400 --> 1:04:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Man, I'm not good. I'm the wrong person. Ask this

1:04:42.640 --> 1:04:45.200
<v Speaker 1>question too. When have you slept the best? Is? What

1:04:45.240 --> 1:04:46.200
<v Speaker 1>has been your preparation?

1:04:46.800 --> 1:04:49.760
<v Speaker 2>My preparation has usually been about five nights of not sleeping.

1:04:49.800 --> 1:04:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, sure, deprivation not recommended strategy. Medically now, that's my answer.

1:04:55.080 --> 1:04:56.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a bill. That's your answer. It's that's

1:04:56.600 --> 1:05:01.120
<v Speaker 1>the best time you sleep. I would say exercise, drinking

1:05:01.160 --> 1:05:03.880
<v Speaker 1>plenty of water. Obviously we're a pro hydration show. Maybe

1:05:03.880 --> 1:05:07.400
<v Speaker 1>some meditation, you know, not looking at the blue light devices,

1:05:07.440 --> 1:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>your iPad, your your phones, whatever, your tablet's TVs, within

1:05:11.280 --> 1:05:13.240
<v Speaker 1>like twenty minutes before bed, do some reading.

1:05:13.400 --> 1:05:15.920
<v Speaker 2>There are some podcasts that I can listen to that'll

1:05:15.960 --> 1:05:17.760
<v Speaker 2>put me to sleep asap.

1:05:18.360 --> 1:05:20.240
<v Speaker 1>But it's the maintenance. You got to stay asleep too,

1:05:20.680 --> 1:05:25.040
<v Speaker 1>got to stay asleep. That's a problem. Yeah, and breathing exercises.

1:05:25.320 --> 1:05:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's do really really go for it. Let's do two

1:05:27.880 --> 1:05:31.120
<v Speaker 1>more here quick? Okay, two more quick? Do you want

1:05:31.120 --> 1:05:33.160
<v Speaker 1>to do? You have any questions that you'd like to answer.

1:05:33.240 --> 1:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Here's one. No, I got one from Heather. Will you

1:05:36.080 --> 1:05:39.680
<v Speaker 1>be continuing the two s cruse next season? The answer

1:05:39.840 --> 1:05:43.720
<v Speaker 1>is yes, with an asterisk. With an asterisk, We're not

1:05:44.400 --> 1:05:48.640
<v Speaker 1>revealing the asterisk yet. That is correct, factually correct. There

1:05:48.680 --> 1:05:51.800
<v Speaker 1>will be some There will be a big picture show,

1:05:52.000 --> 1:05:55.000
<v Speaker 1>yes that like we are doing this season, but beyond that,

1:05:55.040 --> 1:05:57.840
<v Speaker 1>we have no further comment, Heather. Sorry, Zach wants to

1:05:57.840 --> 1:05:59.280
<v Speaker 1>know where he should eat in Philly.

1:06:00.040 --> 1:06:03.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, don't ask me this question. You're you're way

1:06:03.360 --> 1:06:05.680
<v Speaker 2>more in tune with Philly restaurants.

1:06:05.880 --> 1:06:08.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually I'm not that great, but uh, South Philly

1:06:08.840 --> 1:06:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Barbicoa for Mexican and pizzeria, it's either Bettia or Badilla.

1:06:14.520 --> 1:06:17.439
<v Speaker 1>B E D D I A are on my hit list.

1:06:17.480 --> 1:06:21.160
<v Speaker 1>And for a nicer place, zahav z A h A V.

1:06:22.400 --> 1:06:27.000
<v Speaker 1>I like Della Sandro's for cheese steaks. Nice. What's your

1:06:27.040 --> 1:06:28.640
<v Speaker 1>preferred cheese steak arrangement.

1:06:29.880 --> 1:06:33.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm not a big cheese whiz guy same to be honest,

1:06:33.880 --> 1:06:38.439
<v Speaker 3>but I know since it's like the official Philly cheese

1:06:38.440 --> 1:06:42.160
<v Speaker 3>steak recipe, whiz wit is what I go with.

1:06:43.080 --> 1:06:46.240
<v Speaker 1>MMM. So that's the cheese steak. You get the wiz

1:06:46.280 --> 1:06:48.680
<v Speaker 1>and you get the onions. Yeah, I would leave out

1:06:48.720 --> 1:06:51.120
<v Speaker 1>the whiz. I would do like the white American cheese

1:06:51.160 --> 1:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. It is the closer to food option. I

1:06:55.480 --> 1:06:57.560
<v Speaker 1>just me. Ryan wants to know if he goes to

1:06:57.600 --> 1:07:00.560
<v Speaker 1>the Cotton Bowl, so I presume he is Penn State

1:07:00.640 --> 1:07:02.520
<v Speaker 1>or Memphis fan. Would it be better to stay in

1:07:02.600 --> 1:07:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Dallas and go to Austin for a day So I guess,

1:07:04.960 --> 1:07:06.720
<v Speaker 1>fly to Dallas and do a day trip in Austin

1:07:07.000 --> 1:07:09.520
<v Speaker 1>or stay in Austin and go to Dallas for the game.

1:07:10.560 --> 1:07:14.880
<v Speaker 1>I would offer, see what we did, ty, Yeah, I

1:07:14.920 --> 1:07:18.120
<v Speaker 1>thought we did it great. That was fun. You only

1:07:18.160 --> 1:07:21.640
<v Speaker 1>do the drive once this way because it's it's three hours.

1:07:21.680 --> 1:07:25.680
<v Speaker 1>But that's again speaking of asterisk. There's traffic, there's it depends.

1:07:25.840 --> 1:07:28.440
<v Speaker 2>It depends where you're coming from. It depends where you're

1:07:28.440 --> 1:07:32.040
<v Speaker 2>coming from. Austin is not always the cheapest flight, so true,

1:07:32.320 --> 1:07:34.640
<v Speaker 2>depending on your on your situation and what you want

1:07:34.680 --> 1:07:37.440
<v Speaker 2>to spend. I would agree with Dan. I would I

1:07:37.480 --> 1:07:39.600
<v Speaker 2>would go to Austin and I'd make the trip up

1:07:39.640 --> 1:07:43.040
<v Speaker 2>to Dallas for the game. And if you stan of

1:07:43.080 --> 1:07:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Dallas and fly out of Dallas, stay in Dallas, flat

1:07:45.240 --> 1:07:47.200
<v Speaker 2>of Dallas. But if you can fly to Austin, rent

1:07:47.200 --> 1:07:51.800
<v Speaker 2>a car and drive up to Dallas. The drive might suck,

1:07:51.880 --> 1:07:54.480
<v Speaker 2>but we enjoyed going to Buckis. We had a lot

1:07:54.520 --> 1:07:57.120
<v Speaker 2>of fun sure on that drive up, So that was

1:07:57.200 --> 1:07:57.919
<v Speaker 2>that was a good time.

1:07:58.560 --> 1:08:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Got some in and out. Yeah, this is best burger chain.

1:08:01.720 --> 1:08:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm such a bad person. If not fly to Dallas,

1:08:06.440 --> 1:08:09.320
<v Speaker 1>enjoy Dallas bone appetite food restaurant city of the Year,

1:08:09.800 --> 1:08:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Go to the game, hopefully have a good time, and

1:08:11.640 --> 1:08:14.040
<v Speaker 1>then drive down to Austin, you know, for twenty four

1:08:14.080 --> 1:08:15.920
<v Speaker 1>or forty eight hours, and maybe fly out of Austin

1:08:16.080 --> 1:08:18.600
<v Speaker 1>if that's a better option. Do what's affordable.

1:08:18.880 --> 1:08:21.519
<v Speaker 2>I have a question here to close out the show. Okay,

1:08:21.520 --> 1:08:24.120
<v Speaker 2>this is actually something final question. This is actually something

1:08:24.160 --> 1:08:27.479
<v Speaker 2>that you and I need to talk about and haven't yet.

1:08:28.160 --> 1:08:29.799
<v Speaker 1>We've long joked that.

1:08:29.840 --> 1:08:35.200
<v Speaker 2>We should do a board of Directors meeting podcast where

1:08:35.240 --> 1:08:38.679
<v Speaker 2>we talk shop and no one would listen, but it'd

1:08:38.720 --> 1:08:40.120
<v Speaker 2>be for our own amusement.

1:08:40.040 --> 1:08:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Right, So this is kind of in that vein.

1:08:42.520 --> 1:08:44.720
<v Speaker 2>But you know, since we've made it through a full

1:08:44.760 --> 1:08:48.200
<v Speaker 2>calendar year, now, where are we going next year for

1:08:48.240 --> 1:08:48.920
<v Speaker 2>our live shows?

1:08:49.080 --> 1:08:51.439
<v Speaker 1>Where would you like to go? Or should we open

1:08:51.439 --> 1:08:53.479
<v Speaker 1>it up to people, let us know where we should go.

1:08:53.760 --> 1:08:55.599
<v Speaker 1>We should open it up to people. We haven't done

1:08:55.600 --> 1:08:59.880
<v Speaker 1>a West Coast show yet. We haven't. I would love

1:09:00.160 --> 1:09:04.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I've loved all of our shows, the fact

1:09:04.400 --> 1:09:06.360
<v Speaker 1>that people came in from all over to go to

1:09:06.360 --> 1:09:09.120
<v Speaker 1>see us in Dallas, DC. We had people throughout the

1:09:09.120 --> 1:09:11.960
<v Speaker 1>South coming to see us in Atlanta, throughout the Midwest,

1:09:11.960 --> 1:09:14.320
<v Speaker 1>SUS in Chicago obviously, we've got a lot of people

1:09:14.600 --> 1:09:18.080
<v Speaker 1>in the Tri state area here in New York. I'd

1:09:18.080 --> 1:09:20.840
<v Speaker 1>like to do a West Coast show if I had

1:09:20.880 --> 1:09:23.640
<v Speaker 1>to go back somewhere. I had a great time at Minneapolis,

1:09:23.640 --> 1:09:25.439
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I would love to see Minneapolis in

1:09:25.479 --> 1:09:27.519
<v Speaker 1>the summer. It was awesome. Yeah, that was a lot

1:09:27.560 --> 1:09:30.120
<v Speaker 1>of fun. That was great. It was great too because

1:09:30.160 --> 1:09:32.200
<v Speaker 1>we were indoors and they had heat. It's great brewery,

1:09:32.240 --> 1:09:37.200
<v Speaker 1>great food, great pizza. Somewhere on the West coast, LA

1:09:37.320 --> 1:09:40.639
<v Speaker 1>or Portland or Bay area, I don't know, somewhere like that.

1:09:41.520 --> 1:09:47.360
<v Speaker 1>And then Chicago's real fun. Chicago is fun.

1:09:47.400 --> 1:09:49.200
<v Speaker 2>See. I have a really hard time with this one

1:09:49.240 --> 1:09:51.320
<v Speaker 2>because it's around that time of year where we have

1:09:51.360 --> 1:09:51.599
<v Speaker 2>to start.

1:09:51.640 --> 1:09:53.360
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to do another New York one that's easy

1:09:53.400 --> 1:09:53.720
<v Speaker 1>for me.

1:09:54.200 --> 1:09:55.600
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I want to hit everywhere. I know

1:09:55.640 --> 1:09:58.240
<v Speaker 2>we can't, but the West Coast is definitely on the

1:09:58.280 --> 1:10:01.479
<v Speaker 2>short list. We've had people ask us we'd love to

1:10:01.520 --> 1:10:05.120
<v Speaker 2>do la let us know where we should go next.
