You know, I 71 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: was going I was going on a nice little tangent there, 72 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: and then you know, technical difficulties on the road. I 73 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: got a Wednesday night game tomorrow night. So I am 74 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: in Huntington, West Virginia right now, so working outside the office. 75 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: So I do apologize for the quick oopsie on my end, 76 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: but I was about to getting a huge rant and 77 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: bitching and moaning about the NFL. So I don't know 78 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: if it's too late or to get into it. I'm 79 00:04:54,200 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: so sor anybody big, but it was a way to 80 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: like make college football seemed better because the NFL has 81 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: turned into Sherman soft over there with especially with quarterbacks, 82 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: Like what are we doing here? Like you can't even 83 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: touch a quarterback now? So I'll tie it back in Brumley. 84 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: At least in college football you can somewhat hit a quarterback. 85 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: There you go? Yeah, I mean what what? Soon enough, 86 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks are gonna be having a sign consent. I'm 87 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: he at my right. Jeez, what you can touch another? 88 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: Wanted you to? Unbelievable dude, it's uh yeah, Look, I 89 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: will say this if we wanted wow the poll question 90 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: that chat was aaron' trant going to be interesting? I 91 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: bet you was, because that's quarterback. That's a quarterback perspective 92 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: on these rough in the pastor calls. Now. I will 93 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: say this to tie back into college. Do you all 94 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: agree with this? I think college has actually done a 95 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: fantastic job with targeting this year. I feel like they 96 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: have finally found the rule after years of data gathering. Uh, 97 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: they put in the review process, they slightly change it 98 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: to go I think now like it's just crown like 99 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: face mask is more allowed now. I feel like they've 100 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: gotten way more right this year, and even when they've 101 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: called it wrong, they've gone and reviewed it and got 102 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: it right. So my same hope is that eventually the 103 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: NFL can land somewhere there with roughing the pastor because 104 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: what happened to Chris Jones last night is criminal, Like 105 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: I do agree with that there. Yeah, well we thought 106 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: over the weekend to with Tom Brady versus the Falcons 107 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: for gonna say, but you know, it's it's getting better. 108 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: I just think that there's there's there's been still moments 109 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: this year when you watch college football where you can 110 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: you can you know the intent of a player, like 111 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: you can tell way like when someone's trying to be dirty. 112 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: You know, go back to what two weeks ago with 113 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel and and the hit that he took, like 114 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: that was dirty, like that that deserves to be You're 115 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: kicked out of the game and honestly maybe even suspend 116 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: for the following game, like that was an intent to 117 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: hurt an individual. There are plenty of players defensively. When 118 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: I watched the game where it's like, Okay, the intent 119 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: was not there to hurt, it's bang bang, he was 120 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: going for a certain area of the body that the 121 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: receiver did to end up being helmet helmet and then 122 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: shoot man t buy half the time I turn on 123 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: some of these penalties, and then the the offensive player 124 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: is the one initiating the contact with the helmet, but 125 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: the offensive guy never gets called. So yeah, it's safe 126 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: for a running back to dip his head into initiate contact. 127 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: But it's it's, it's it's it's you get suspended for 128 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: a game if you're a defendant player. So I just 129 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: think that there's Has it gotten better, yes? Is the 130 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: reviews better? Yes, but I still think we're far away 131 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: away from from being consistent in that, Brom. Is there 132 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: anything else you want gonna ran on? I could yell 133 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: by inn I l deals and how they're ruining the game? 134 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: Maybe in the ricks news, a lack of loyalty, like 135 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: any more old man rants who want us to go 136 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: on here?

Okay, that's what's gonna win your games. Uh, 146 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: speaking of trying to win the games, Cody st Eli, 147 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: Rix can stay riding the bench, Obama. Um, there's a question, 148 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: and maybe we'll get to Rix. Probably not, but maybe 149 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: so at the end of the show.

Uh, 159 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: let's talk Brian Kelly. Firstlord L s U. I'm taking 160 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: on the Gators in the swamp this weekend, and it 161 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: is terribly fascinating to me, Aaron, because, as we'll get 162 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: to during report card season, I see two teams that 163 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways are similar year one of 164 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: new coaches rebuilding pretty significantly. However, I do see one 165 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: season that feels way better than the other does and 166 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: and and that is Florida over L s U. And 167 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: it's odd because I feel like Billy Napier enters this 168 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: game basically with house money. It's a bit of land. 169 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: Yet it's it's it's not the biggest deal win or 170 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: lose here, No, not a lot to be gained. I 171 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: should I should preface that, like a lot to be 172 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: gained for Florida if they win the game. I guess 173 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: I'm talking about nightmare scenarios if Florida were to lose. Uh. Sure, 174 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: those fans are gonna be upset because they're sick of 175 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: losing to L s U. But I don't think it's 176 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: gonna be any great referendum on Billy Napier. I don't 177 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: know if I can say the same about Brian Kelly 178 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: right now, it's it's it's I guess I would say 179 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: this if you're asking me how much pressure is on 180 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly firsts in this Lord game. I think there's 181 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: as much pressure as you can apply knowing that a 182 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: job and everything else is completely safe. Right Like, I'm 183 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: not saying pressure like anybody's gonna get fired or anything 184 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 1: like that, but I'm talking about pressure in if you 185 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: want the fan base to believe in you, and you 186 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: don't want to have to deal with just a swirling 187 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: maelstrom of negativity and and bad headlines and people jumping 188 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: the ship and having to earn them back. This weekend 189 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: goes a very long way, So you know, I think 190 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: all the pressure is on LSU this weekend. I think 191 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 1: the pressure is on both teams. I want to put 192 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: it one more than the other right now. I think 193 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: the pressure is not in the sense of like, Okay, 194 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: it's a must win, because it is still year one, 195 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: and I think I think both these scenes have performed 196 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: well this year. I mean both are four and two. 197 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: Both have had some really good win I mean, go 198 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: back a couple weeks ago ls Uba Missippi State. That's 199 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: a hell of a win. I think Missy State. It's 200 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: the third or fourth best team in the SEC. To 201 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: get that win was a signature win Year one for 202 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly. Obviously. Florida is is you know, the game 203 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: first Tennessee was a loss, but you saw some progression 204 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: a nice win last week first Missouri. I think both 205 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: programs are heading in the right direction where a loss 206 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily set that back. I think the pressure is 207 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: is more of like just keeping up with the Joneses, 208 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: you know, in the sense of recruiting, especially recruiting, like 209 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: there there is you're in the league right now, and 210 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: we talked about yesterday. It's like, Okay, why would a 211 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 1: coach want to come take the job at Auburn over 212 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: Nebraska because you you have to face all these these 213 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,719 Speaker 1: these coaches and these personalities and and it's recruiting, man, 214 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 1: and that that's the name of the game nowadays, and 215 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: it's always been. It's it's not about as much of 216 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,719 Speaker 1: the xs and os. It's more about the Jimmy's of 217 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: the joes, like we have to talk about. And if 218 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: you're l s U or Florida and you're having to 219 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: recruit against the Alabama's and the Georgia's and the you know, 220 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: the Texas is in the Oklahoma's and Texas and M's 221 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: and the and and the teams in Mississippi. You've gotta 222 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: have good records. Let's just be honest. Like four and 223 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: five star kids don't want to go to losing football teams. 224 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 1: They want to go to games, and they want to 225 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: go to teams that have, you know, prominence in their conference, 226 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: in the SEC and then and obviously the national landscape 227 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: as well. So when you're in prime time television and 228 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: when you have an opportunity to beat a big time team, 229 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: a team with a big brand like Florida or l 230 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: s U and kind of send a message to those 231 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: recruits into the into the I would say, the entire conference. 232 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: You've got to take advantage of that early on in 233 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: your career. Both for these coaches. So no, I don't think. 234 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: I don't think to me and I maybe you're maybe 235 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: you have a better opinion this because you're in band 236 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 1: Rouge and no better to both these schools. I don't 237 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: think like either fan base is going to you know, 238 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: be be burning the town down if you lose a 239 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: closely contested game this weekend. So I can give you, 240 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: I can give you the local feeling on the map. 241 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 1: It's right, I don't think it's the logical one. And 242 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: like a detective that's probably too close to the case 243 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: and shouldn't be working it. Um. I'm obviously going to 244 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,719 Speaker 1: approach this from a very egocentric sort of L s 245 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: U standpoint, But you gotta understand, Aaron. When this L 246 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: s U job was up for grabs, Billy Napier was 247 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: one of the names, I mean, was the name that 248 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: was constantly discussed because Brian Kelly never really entered the 249 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: mix because it was thought to be unrealistic, right, and 250 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: and and the the lines in the sand that were 251 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: drawn over Billy Napier, right, with some old school more 252 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: uh prideful LSU fans being like he came from U L. 253 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: You can't get U L S head coach r L 254 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: S right, he's on you know, all these sorts of things. First, 255 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: the other ones who are like, no, he's had incredible 256 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: success to U L. He's turned down multiple jobs. He's 257 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: been waiting for this job like he is the fast 258 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: riser that you want to catch on the way up. Now, 259 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 1: you wouldn't hire Brian Kelly. So he made an unimpeachable 260 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: hire from a resume standpoint, but you still did maybe 261 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: potentially miss on the next big thing. And like, those 262 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: are the narratives that are in play comes Saturday in 263 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: the swamp, is it? It is a referendum on the 264 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: choice that Scott Woodward made to hire Brian Kelly and 265 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: never even interview Billy Napier. Because if you look, like 266 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: we said, both schools are rebuilding, maybe Florida slightly more 267 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: significantly than L s U, but I don't know. I 268 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: mean LU was down to thirty nine players uh in 269 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: that Texas Bowl, and it had to build up from that. 270 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: The problem with L s U right now is, even 271 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: in the context of that rebuild, it feels like they 272 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: are not getting the most out of their players. I mean, 273 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: the vast majority of the town lies in the wide 274 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: receiver room, and that's wide receiver room that has not 275 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: really done anything yet this season. And it feels like 276 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: if Billy Napier were to win this game with equivalent 277 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: to maybe less than twent whatever, like even but even 278 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: equals that, if Billy Napier wins this game, it feels 279 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: like he is mean more and maximizing what he has. 280 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: What you are maybe underachieving a bit and what you have. 281 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: It would also be the first time and do you 282 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: beat Florida three times in a row now, so people 283 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: have gotten very used to that. Uh it would it would, 284 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: it would, it would be it would be really bad. 285 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: It would it would. It would set up for multiple 286 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: weeks of very bad headlines with all Miss looming very 287 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: large the following well Miss then Alabama too. I think 288 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: that that that's a little bit of a concern to like, 289 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: if you can't you you just got embarrassed. I mean, 290 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: the problem is you just got embarrassed by Tennessee. So 291 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: there's a lot of fans right now that front of 292 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: a lot of recruits. Aaron to your point of yeah, 293 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: you're you're at home. Uh, big time opportunity to knock 294 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: down a top ten team. And it wasn't close. I 295 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: mean it was it was. It was a shellacking. And 296 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: and it's obviously been two weeks now. I mean, you 297 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: go back even two weeks ago. First Auburn in that game, 298 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: you come back, it was great to see the fight, 299 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: You're great to see a or l s you win 300 00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: that game in the second half. But that game should 301 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: never been close. Auburn is a bad, bad football team. 302 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: So now all of a sudden, you've you had a 303 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: bad week. First Auburn, you found a way to win. Congratulations, 304 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: you get your your your asked destroyed. First Tennessee at 305 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: home thirteen. You go on the road to Florida, you 306 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: lose that game. So that's now three bad games in 307 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: a row. Most likely gonna lose Ole Miss, most likely 308 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: gonna lose to Alabama. So you have a a four 309 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: game losing streak and really five games that you haven't 310 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: played that well. And then you need to turn around 311 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: and play at Arkansas, which is not a walk in there, 312 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: and just win football game. And we talked about Arkansas, 313 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: their their their weaknesses, their secondary, and LSU right now 314 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: still is finding ways to get those receivers involved in 315 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: the game. So I just think there's a I think 316 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: you made a good point to Bob, like there's a 317 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: frustration of we We looked at this season and we 318 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: saw the talent on both sides of the football. We 319 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: saw the town at the receiving spot, and we said, 320 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: we got a better coach. We're gonna find a way 321 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: to get those guys the ball. We're gonna find a 322 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: way to play an exciting brand of football, and we're 323 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: not seeing that on offense. We're not seeing these receivers 324 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: get involved. Ka Shawn has extremely disappointing. Maliku Neighbors has 325 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: been good when he gets going, but like, how do 326 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: you get that position right? And you look at this 327 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: game right now, and it's a tale of I talked 328 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: about it yesterday. It's it's a tale of halves and 329 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 1: half nots, like do you have a quarterback or do 330 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: you not have a quarterback? And you can easily say 331 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: when you look at that Anthony Richardson, where he's had 332 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: his moments this year of not playing great, he's getting 333 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: better and and he's making plays in the past game, 334 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 1: he's making plays in the run game. What he did 335 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 1: versus Tennessee was great. I thought you look pretty darn 336 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: good last week at Missouri. So you see a progression 337 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: on that football team if you look at l Shoe 338 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: and it seems to be going in the opposite direction. 339 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: He seemed to regressing on offense, especially in the passing game, 340 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: and not getting those receivers involved. So I just think 341 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: that there's a sense of why aren't we getting better? 342 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: We have better coaching. We have talent, but we're kind 343 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: of in in quick stand or quicksand right now, no, 344 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: I mean that that's exactly what it is. I have 345 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: never felt more down on the ellis you offensive and 346 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: offensive philosophy? Uh than I do right now. It's because 347 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: of two bad games in a row. Like Tennessee was 348 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 1: supposed to be bad. You completely failed, uh to excuse me, 349 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: there're supposed to be bad defensively, right you completely failed 350 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: to take advantage of that same bad defense. Josh Rumsey 351 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: and the chat says, uh, so he said, what word 352 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: you say about Oh, it's about L s US defense? Um? 353 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: Oh man, I I okay, he says. Josh Frmen says, 354 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: because Florida's defense is better than L s U. I 355 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 1: don't know that I believe that. Like I want to say, 356 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,360 Speaker 1: Florida's ranked twelve in post points per game given up 357 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: and total defense. This is not a Florida defense that's 358 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: been particularly good. But again for the second week in 359 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: a row, Like, if it's bad L s U offense 360 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: verse a bad defense, I'm siding with the defense right now, 361 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: especially when the health of Will Campbell's in a pretty 362 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 1: unknown and um kind of worrying spot, and I mean 363 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: worrying like for him personally, right beyond just football. He 364 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: had just been all week and in the hospital. He's 365 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: still getting tests and everything, and then they're bullish on 366 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: his return. But you know, I don't know if he's 367 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: gonna play. Garrett Dellinger will not play this week, and 368 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 1: he's been your best oh A lineman. So yeah, Like 369 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: I think, I'm sure Florda's defense isn't that good, but 370 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: LSU's offense can't take advantage. And then you flip and 371 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: Florida has an elite running game and if you want 372 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 1: to oversell to stop it, Anthony Richard is getting better 373 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 1: and better at making you pay through the air. Combine 374 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: that with this game being in the swamp and not 375 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: only I think locally is all the pressure expectation on 376 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: Kelly to win. But I don't think that l s 377 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: U does win. I think the biggest pressure is just 378 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: the the the It's not the players or the direction 379 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: of the program. I just think it's gonna be more, 380 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: which is it's it's we as college football fans. We 381 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: love to talk, we love to compare. That's just part 382 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: of the game. It's part of the world we live in, 383 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: especially in this in this conference, I think the biggest 384 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: comparison is is is more of we had we had 385 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: this coach in our backyard, we didn't interview him, Like 386 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 1: you said, he goes to Florida and then year one 387 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: it looks like Flourda is the better football team when 388 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: they really shouldn't be. Yeah, that's exactly you jumped it 389 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 1: up perfect. That is exactly what's in the problems. And 390 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,239 Speaker 1: you know better than that. And and and answer this 391 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: real quick before we move on. Why why didn't they 392 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: interview him? Was it because that l s U viewed 393 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 1: themselves as big brother. We're not gonna go take something 394 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: from little brother. We're too good for that. Like why 395 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: was Napier not even considered knowing that that you've seen him, 396 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: the fan base knows who he is. He knows that 397 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: that state, he can recruit in that state, Like why 398 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: was he never given a fair shake? I think that, well, look, 399 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: the only person really know this is Scott Wouldward write 400 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: the I D. But I think that if you look 401 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: at what words track record of hiring, he wants to 402 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: air on the side of I'm going to hire the 403 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: guy with the unimpeachable asume, and and my interpretation of 404 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: that has always been, well, you know, not only is 405 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: it obviously you know common sense. Okay, let me try 406 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: to go get the guy who has best resume, but 407 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: it basically makes you unimpeachable from a blame standpoint, like 408 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: right now in Texas and m it is gonna rye 409 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: with Jimbo Fisher. At least currently, it feels very a right, right, 410 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: that's a Scott Woodward deal. But if you look at 411 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: the context of which Jimbo Fisher was hired, that was 412 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,239 Speaker 1: viewed like a home run. And he can sit there 413 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: and say, look, I don't know, ma'am. He was producing 414 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: first round quarterbacks, he had a national championship, Like, it's 415 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: not my fault that it was. It wasn't like I 416 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: took a chance on some unknown quantity and paid in 417 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: millions and it didn't work out. So I think it's 418 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: a bit of a risk aversion thing, and that he 419 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: has always had his sight set on a better resume 420 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: than what Billy Napier had at the time, so we will. 421 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: I still think it's a better higher I mean, I listen, 422 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: we're looking at this right now from a a A 423 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: six game sample size and gonna be a seven games 424 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: sample size, Like that is small stuff right there when 425 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: you look at where these programs have the chance to 426 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: be in the next year or two and beyond. Because 427 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: I don't think these coaches are going anywhere anytime soon. 428 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: I still believe in my heart of hearts knowing the 429 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: recruiting town in l s U and in Louisiana, excuse me, 430 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: and knowing that l s U kind of have as 431 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: a has a hold on Louisiana compared to Florida. We've 432 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 1: talked about in the show before, like you know, everyone 433 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: goes to Florida. You got Miami at Florida State, you 434 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: got the the George's Alabamas, Like everyone is infiltrated that state, 435 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: and no one has really done a good job of 436 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: finding a way to get into to Louisiana. It really 437 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: is l s U State. So I feel a long 438 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,959 Speaker 1: term wise that Brian Kelly is that guy that that 439 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 1: that and next year in the year after that, once 440 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: he finds a quarterback that can fit his system a 441 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: little bit better, that that l SHO is going to 442 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: skyrocket up the rankings. So I guess my message from 443 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: being on the outside looking into you crazy LSU fans 444 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: is just relaxed, like the world is not going to 445 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: end even if you lose this weekend too. It's a 446 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: Billy Napier. It's not Hey, we should have hired Billy Napier. 447 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: He should have been our coach. He was right in 448 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: our backyard. What the hell were we thinking? No, you 449 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: got the better coach, You got the better guy. Just 450 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: be patient. He's going to get this thing right. Don't 451 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: worry about it. Shut the hell up here. Tell me 452 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 1: to relax. Dude, you gotta be Billy Napier. But a 453 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: freaking line. Okay to um, he kind of really does 454 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: I I look I too and make Cult of Kelly believer. 455 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 1: Long term, absolutely yes, But I also don't want life 456 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: to be miserable in the short term. Like I said, 457 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: nobody's getting fired. But I do not want to have 458 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: to do two weeks of shows, three weeks a month 459 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: of shows about how horrible it all is at l 460 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: s U. Right now, Okay, so we'll see. I gotta watch. 461 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: I gotta watch a bit more Florida film today on Tuesday. 462 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 1: I do not think Elsie wins this game, but I 463 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 1: gotta watch a bit more Florida film and we will see. Uh, 464 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 1: let's move on to our next topic, one that is 465 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: very near and dear to our hurts, and that's We're 466 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 1: gonna fly all the way out west the land where 467 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: the ocean meets the sand, talking about Sonny Los Angeles 468 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: as there's not just one, but two good Angelino football teams. 469 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: That's right, USC and u c l A. Both kicking 470 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: ass right now and on a collision course. Now, there's 471 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 1: still some things to go USC utah this weekend, right 472 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: USA l A pass there you taught test now at 473 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: USC's turn that said, Aaron, when you look at these 474 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: two teams as they stand today, who is the top 475 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: dog in Los Angeles? Oh? Man, this is tough. I 476 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: love both teams. We've been we've been fighting on all year. 477 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,239 Speaker 1: But I'm going to U c l A. I mean, 478 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: go bruins. Many they look and and and it's funny 479 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: because we keep saying that USC's defense is not good. 480 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,360 Speaker 1: We keep saying that that that that that they're they're 481 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: an issue. But I mean it's it's a great defense 482 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: right now. I mean you look at the USC statistically 483 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: on defense, you know, the the number one in turnovers, Uh, 484 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 1: they're doing a great job in the air, like there, 485 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: I think on the top when it comes to points 486 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: giving up per game as well. So like we keep saying, 487 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: USC is good because of the you know, they got 488 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: a quarterback and they got the offense, and the defense 489 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: has been one of the better defenses in that conference 490 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: this year. And I think they play very good complementary football. 491 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: But when he turn on the tape and kind of 492 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: see both teams and their identities on both sides, I 493 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: love what I see from you, U c l A 494 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 1: like d tr right now is an absolute savage twenty touchdowns. 495 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: He's doing it on in the air, he's doing it 496 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 1: on the ground. Uh. Zack Cabernet or Cabernet are Mr 497 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: wine Man has rhenomenal as well. Butcher arbet, Butcher again, 498 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: I will get right. I'm not asking me. I'm never 499 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: going to crept again. And in fact, on this show 500 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: on Snaps, I will only refer to him as Zach Cabernet. 501 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: I'm never calling him charmon. Yes, Zach Cabernet a cabinet. 502 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 1: You know, I'm on the road. I need some wine tonight. Um. 503 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: And in the defense too, I mean I thought about 504 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: USC's defense being tough. U c l A. I think 505 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: the biggest thing to me the difference, and and maybe 506 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 1: because I cover so much SEC football, this is why 507 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 1: I gravitate to U c l A. Is the fact 508 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: that when you watch them, there's a more of a 509 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: sense of physicality, like on both scrimmage. Offensively, they get 510 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 1: after your ass, like they are dominant up front. When 511 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: you look at them defensively, they're more dominant up front. 512 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: So if I look at a team that that that 513 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: could not only win the conference, but maybe even matchup better, 514 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: they give me more confidence that they can match up 515 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: better against a Big ten team, against a big or 516 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: an SEC team, just because they're a little bit more 517 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: physical at the line of scrimmage. So that's why I'm 518 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: giving them a little bit more of the edge as 519 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: kind of the Kings of l A right now. See 520 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: So the only thing, the only reason why I'm not 521 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: sure about the thing the trenches, and I need to 522 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: watch more U c l A offensive film as well. 523 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: As I definitely like U c l A's front seven 524 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: better than USC's front seven, Like USC is small on 525 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: the front seven and they're mic linebackers six five two pounds. 526 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 1: It's just weird. He looks like slender Man out there 527 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:16,479 Speaker 1: in the middle of the field. Doesn't make a lot 528 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: of sense to me. Uh. U c l A's front 529 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: seven are They're they're big first off, and maybe the 530 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: most of these, but they're s they're definitely better. But 531 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: I do love USC's offensive line, and I know U. 532 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 1: C l A's is nothing to to to sneeze that either. 533 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: But USCS, as we talked about on this show, it's 534 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: all upperclassmen to buy a red shirt senior center. Um. 535 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: I think the youngest player they have that rotates in 536 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: is one of the tackles is a red shirt sophomore, 537 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 1: and even he rotates with the Richard Jr. They got 538 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: great size on that side of the ball. So I 539 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,959 Speaker 1: like you seeing the trenches offensively, and when you look 540 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:56,640 Speaker 1: at who's the better team, it's actually pretty fascinating statistically 541 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: right now and really satisfying these two teams here and 542 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: by the way, all these stats are for FBS only games. Okay, 543 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: filtering out cupcakes. Uh, these two teams first and second 544 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: in the Pac twelve and scoring U c l A. 545 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: Forty point eight, USC forty point two. UH. USC first 546 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: in the pack twelve and points given up at eighteen 547 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: point seven, but U c l A right there at 548 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: fifth at twenty five point eight. Not a huge functional 549 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 1: difference there. Honestly, both of them allow right at three 550 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: hundred fifty yards per game, which interestingly enough, is good 551 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: for first and second in the pack twelve. And you 552 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: mentioned USC's defense. I was talking about how it's not 553 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: good to me. While I think that maybe do you 554 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: have some problems up front? I think the secondary is 555 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: damn good. Like like U c l A advantage in 556 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: the front, seven USC advantage in the backfield. Uh. The 557 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: only question you have with USC is while the defense 558 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: has been really good, is it sustainable? And it's as 559 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: they continue to force turnovers at an insane rate. Again, 560 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: think about Iowa from last year, who did it for 561 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: about half of the season and had them all the 562 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: way up in the top five before it normalized. Didn't 563 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: even It's not the complete fell off, it just normalized. 564 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: The law of averages came and Iowa fell off hard defensively. Well. 565 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: Right now, USC is winning winning the turnover battle by 566 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: a margin of two point three turnovers per game, a 567 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: margin plus four tax insane. That is insane. And I'm 568 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: pretty sure plus for a team maybe tops in the country, 569 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: it's not within the top five. Uh U c l 570 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: A has been very good with the ball this year, 571 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: They're right behind them. They average they win by one 572 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: turnover per game, which is winning football. They've only turned 573 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: the ball over six times. Uh DTR has only thrown 574 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: two picks on the year. USC has forced twelve picks 575 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: out of their six. So what what you're seeing here 576 00:29:55,640 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: is already I'm kind of fading USC's ability to keep 577 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: up with a turnover rate, and especially going against U 578 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: c l A. If dt R protects the ball, I 579 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: do feel you. I think USC probably finds a way 580 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: to break through in the end. But if USC defense 581 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: can you tay to keep those turnovers up, then it's 582 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: close enough where I think that tips the scales in 583 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: USC's favor. You know what you aren't really tips and scales, 584 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: t Bob, is the fact that that when they these 585 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: two face each other, the game is at U c 586 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: l A. It's at the Rose Bowl. Huh well yeah, okay, okay, okay, 587 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: I did all I didn't know on for a second there, 588 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: I was like, is he really going like? Is he 589 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: going down this route. I mean, like, I mean, if 590 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: nothing else sharing like WHOA, I mean who gets more 591 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: fans that the real question is who gets more fans 592 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: at that game. I'm guessing USC. I'm guessing USC. But 593 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: but you think so, I think, okay, I think USC. 594 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: Like do you compare it to I think it's like 595 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: a Yankees Mets town in terms of l A. Yeah, 596 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: I would agree that. But but at the same time, like, 597 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: if you c l A fans are ever gonna show up, 598 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: now is the time right? And you know you want 599 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: to at least try to get it to fifty ft. 600 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: I don't think I guess you all right, I don't 601 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: think they will. I think so my so. I mean, 602 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: they got a bye week this week, you U c 603 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: l A does, But then they're they're on the road 604 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: verse Oregon. I mean that to me, that is it's 605 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: a massive game. I mean, we can talk about USC 606 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: and U c l A as as kind of those 607 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 1: two teams right now in the Pact hole. But if 608 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: you want to look at stats, Oregon is one of 609 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: the top teams, especially on offense in that conference. They've 610 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: been absolutely dominant since that loss age Orgia. I mean, 611 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: they've been just steamrolling everyone. So, um, that's gonna be 612 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: a great football game if you cel A can win 613 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,719 Speaker 1: that game on the road there in Eugene. I mean 614 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: they should be a top six team in the country. 615 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,959 Speaker 1: Seven and oh it's crazy, man. Yeah, it's fair. That's 616 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: I mean, that's completely fair. Oregon looks really good. That's 617 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: that would be a great win. Now is the perfect 618 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: time to download fan Duel, America's number one sports book. 619 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: And if you joined today, you get started with one 620 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars in free bets guaranteed whenever you 621 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: place your first five dollar bet.

Just look at this beautiful 640 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: quarterback matchup. DTR number one rating quarterback right now in 641 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: the pack twelve completing seventy of his passes to fifty 642 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: per game, fifteen touchdowns, two picks, and that's just through 643 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 1: the air. Caleb Williams on the other side, average about 644 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: fifteen yards more per game but only completing six, but 645 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,239 Speaker 1: still fourteen to one touchdown and pick ratio. I mean, 646 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: if nothing else, this has just been a renaissance and 647 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: unlike Texas and Oklahoma, it is a statement year for 648 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: these two schools after they announced that they will be 649 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: stepping up in competition and heading to the Big Ten. 650 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: And let's not get too ahead of ourselves and this 651 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 1: who's the best in l A talk right, because USC 652 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: needs to go beat Utah this weekend. That's the next 653 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 1: major test. And if I was USC, be three. Yes, 654 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: I say, if I was USC, I would be very aware. 655 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 1: Are of facing this hungry Utah team that's gonna be 656 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: piste off, that doesn't want to lose to an l 657 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: A team two weeks in a row, A team that 658 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: beat the hell out of you what not once but 659 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,359 Speaker 1: twice last season, I believe. So let's not get two 660 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: ahead of ourselves. I'm still a petite closion boy though, 661 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: And um dude, I'll take them as dogs. Are you 662 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 1: kidding me? Get out of here? How am I am? 663 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: I falling into the sucker line again? I'm so bad? 664 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,839 Speaker 1: All right now, I gotta figure it out. Alright, Uh, 665 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 1: let's get to some mid season grade. Oh look at this. 666 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 1: Look at this a barge and the chat U c 667 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 1: l A has a chip on their shoulder. That's what 668 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 1: I like to see a barge. Shout out, everybody, give 669 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: him love. All right, let's get into mid season grade. 670 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: So what this is we have looked at all of 671 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 1: the biggest new hires in college football. Okay, that's Lincoln Riley, 672 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly, Marcus, Freeman, Mario christ Ball, Billy Napier, and 673 00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 1: Brent Venables, and we have given them imagine this amid season. Great? Uh, Aaron, 674 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,840 Speaker 1: I don't know how you approached this. I approached this 675 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: base all. I kind of graded them. Okay, where are 676 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 1: the results landing in relation to expectation? Right? So you 677 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,840 Speaker 1: could have a worse record, but I could give you 678 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 1: a better grade if I feel like you have over 679 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 1: chiefers under achieved, Aaron Murray, Let's start at the top 680 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: with the guy who I think this one's pretty damn easy, 681 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley. What grade would you give Lincoln Riley thus far? 682 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: I give him an A maybe an A plus. I 683 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,320 Speaker 1: mean what he's doing right now, undefeated, the rolling and 684 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 1: it's not just the offense, but when we keep talking 685 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: about like that this defense is performing, and then you 686 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 1: look at how bad Oklahoma has has looked these past 687 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:43,400 Speaker 1: three weeks, and you kind of like, damn man, like, 688 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,840 Speaker 1: what what did Lincoln Riley mean to Oklahoma and especially 689 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: offensive football? So I think to me that that even 690 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: elevates him to that A plus is knowing that how 691 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,360 Speaker 1: bad Oklahoma has been without him as a head coach 692 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 1: and how far they've dropped in that conference, is like wow, 693 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,759 Speaker 1: Like he's he was that dude in Oklahoma, So good 694 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 1: for him. Man trojan On A A plus for for 695 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: for him? Yeah, I mean how would link? I mean, 696 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 1: it's it's an A plus. It's an he because he's 697 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 1: literally been perfect. So like, despite my preface about expectations, 698 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: expectations are irrelevant because you could not have been better 699 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 1: than he's been. USC ranks at the top of the 700 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 1: pack twelve and almost everything offensively we talked about their defense, 701 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: turned the ball over at an incredible rank. You're undefeated, 702 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 1: you ranked top ten in the country, and this is 703 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: a year removed from going four and eight. Oh and 704 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 1: you have one of the Heisman favorites at quarterback. And 705 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,879 Speaker 1: it's a Heisman favorite quarterback that can be directly one 706 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: attributed to Lincoln Riley. Okay, uh, this is no disrespect, 707 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: but this is not hypeo inheriting Hooker and then trying 708 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 1: to bring him Milton right. No, no, no, this is 709 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 1: a guy that Lincoln Riley took with him from Oklahoma 710 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 1: and he has solely trained and has now made him 711 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 1: into a Heisman favorite. Even though I mean, honest, dtr 712 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 1: should be higher in the Heisman conversation than he is, 713 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 1: even though I think he's not. Um show some respect 714 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 1: for DTR. But yeah, a plus for Lincoln Riley. Let's 715 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: see this week in though next to the list a 716 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,399 Speaker 1: guy we talked about a bit earlier in the show. Uh, 717 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly, Aaron, I again want you to start this 718 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 1: one because I'm interesting where it lands next to mine. Yeah, 719 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 1: I'll give I'll give Brian Kelly a a C right now, 720 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 1: maybe a little C plus. I think the biggest thing 721 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,439 Speaker 1: is the two losses. Like I love the wind first 722 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,360 Speaker 1: Mmisippe State, and I still think that the the future 723 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: is bright. You know. I think if you wait a 724 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 1: couple more weeks that great can probably go down a 725 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 1: little bit, especially what happens was four this weekend. But 726 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 1: I think that the big thing that stands out to 727 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: me is how bad the losses were. Like you saw 728 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 1: let's go back to Florida State week one. You saw 729 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 1: a very undisciplined football team, penalties, uh, turnovers, and you're 730 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 1: kind of like, I expected Brian Kelly to come in there. 731 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 1: I know it's week one and I want to temper 732 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 1: my expectations, but you saw it that hey man, this 733 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 1: is gonna be a more disciplined football team. There's a 734 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 1: team that's gonna do the little things correctly, because every 735 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,759 Speaker 1: time I talked to any of those players this offseason, 736 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 1: it was attention to detail. There's an extreme focus on 737 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 1: the little things. And week one it was like, well, 738 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 1: what the hell happened to that? Like, you guys look 739 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: awful when you're doing stupid, stupid penalties in turnovers like 740 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 1: that is a complete opposite of what a discipline football 741 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 1: team should look like. But they have progressed. But in 742 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 1: the second loss at home in front of your home crowd, Uh, 743 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 1: you get blown out. Then I talking about the wind 744 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:39,280 Speaker 1: versus Auburn was not great by any means either. So yeah, listen, 745 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:43,320 Speaker 1: it's it's it's ce. It's just passing with with obviously 746 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 1: high expectations still there of of him being in this program, 747 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: being at a much higher level very very soon and 748 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 1: then your future. But right now I just still see 749 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,840 Speaker 1: a little bit sloppy, especially on the offense side of 750 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 1: the football. Uh it's for me, it's a C minus 751 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 1: and it's it's a clear why. And in fact, I 752 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 1: think you nailed a lot of it there By the way, 753 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 1: shout out John John. Southern exposure in the chats as 754 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 1: Tennessee will BESTC Champs is here. We can talk about that. 755 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,480 Speaker 1: John John also said he discovered the channel sub the 756 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,239 Speaker 1: hell yeah, John John, we love to hear it. But 757 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 1: look from a from a precdent expectation win lost standpoint, 758 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:24,360 Speaker 1: you are arguably under schedule with the Florida State laws. 759 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,880 Speaker 1: Maybe still right on, but you know, still that's a 760 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:30,319 Speaker 1: mark against um SO overall. Though, like the record, it's 761 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,759 Speaker 1: not that the record is that crazy off what you 762 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: were thinking. This is not a Miami situation, but the 763 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: look and feel of the games exactly what you were 764 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 1: alluding to. Uh, that's the issue here. It has been 765 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 1: tough sledding against Power five opponents outside of that Mississippi 766 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 1: State game. In fact, that Missipy State win is the 767 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 1: only reason why I didn't give you a D in 768 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 1: this category, because you're right. They have looked inexplicably undisciplined. 769 00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 1: They've looked very boring offensive. They have not been able 770 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,959 Speaker 1: to take advantage of their most talented players on that team. 771 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,640 Speaker 1: They failed to cover in every Power five matchup, uh, 772 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 1: save for the Mississippi State game. And I don't mean 773 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 1: that just for me. No no, no, no no no 774 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 1: no no no, that's no. That's why I should have 775 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 1: put that in my reasoning though, because that is a 776 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 1: big reason. Like, but bro, I don't care about like 777 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,400 Speaker 1: the money whatever. I'm not gambling money that I'm not 778 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 1: completely comfortable losing. It's all for fun, right. The point 779 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 1: is whether or not a team covers can show you 780 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,400 Speaker 1: how close are they performing to expectation and l s 781 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 1: U has consistently fallen under the expectation mark and pretty 782 00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 1: significantly at times. Okay, and so uh yeah, all of 783 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,759 Speaker 1: that comes together and and and then, as I said 784 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,000 Speaker 1: after every single game with Brian Kelly saying we got 785 00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,239 Speaker 1: out coached, we got out coached. Okay, well, I'm gonna 786 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,720 Speaker 1: take you at your word and not to see mineus, 787 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 1: to see mineus. It's not all the Mississippi state keeping 788 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 1: you out of the D category, but barely. Next of 789 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:10,800 Speaker 1: this list, we got Marcus Freeman. And I'll start this 790 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,839 Speaker 1: one off here, Aaron, I'm actually gonna go c plus here. 791 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,360 Speaker 1: And maybe this is uh, maybe I would be judging 792 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 1: it more harshly if I was of the Notre Dame community, 793 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 1: because I do know that expectations were high before the season, 794 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,840 Speaker 1: and they were probably even higher after that Ohio State loss, 795 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,120 Speaker 1: in which I think that is a favorably, for whatever 796 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 1: that is worth. I think I think that that loss 797 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,080 Speaker 1: is a favor But then you get to the martial lass, 798 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 1: and that's when you get thrown down into f territory 799 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:45,120 Speaker 1: like all of a sudden, it's complete disaster. But after that, Okay, 800 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:49,440 Speaker 1: I see, you're slowly, you're you're you're you're building the blocks, right. Okay, 801 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:53,359 Speaker 1: you beat a pretty solid cow team, you come back. Uh, 802 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,200 Speaker 1: you beat a kind of nice you and C team 803 00:41:56,239 --> 00:42:00,040 Speaker 1: by double digits. By the way, Notre Dame's crap. We 804 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,959 Speaker 1: often scored forty five against you and C. That's gonna 805 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,120 Speaker 1: matter here in a little bit even more. Uh. And 806 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,160 Speaker 1: then you be b y U saw by U team 807 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,520 Speaker 1: to ten, and you're gonna have the opportunity to climb 808 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 1: even higher. You still gotta rank Syracuse team in a 809 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,279 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, you got Clemson at home, later got 810 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 1: Usc two in the year. So maybe I'm being too 811 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,880 Speaker 1: bullish and he should be C minus D plus long 812 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly, I'm actually gonna give Marcus Freeman a C 813 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 1: plus here. Yeah, I'm gonna give him a B honestly, 814 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:33,239 Speaker 1: because with a martial loss, you're giving this man a B. Yes, 815 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 1: even with a martial loss, I'm giving him a b. Uh. 816 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 1: They've played Ohio State better than anyone else has played 817 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,440 Speaker 1: Ohio State this season. And and let's not forget I 818 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: mean this is this has primarily been with your backup 819 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 1: quarterback and Drew Pine Tyler Buckner has been out for 820 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,320 Speaker 1: for the majority of the season. So the fact that 821 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,400 Speaker 1: he's been able to pivot, especially on offense, and and 822 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 1: find ways to score points and find ways to get 823 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,279 Speaker 1: the offense going because we knew the defense is gonna 824 00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 1: be good and the offense is struggled. Str Goald struggles struggled, 825 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,120 Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden, you're back up quarterback's 826 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,960 Speaker 1: playing pretty damn good these past couple of weeks. So 827 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,279 Speaker 1: I know you've benefited a little bit from from some 828 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,440 Speaker 1: of the schedule you brought the unc defense and how 829 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 1: god awful they are. But I'm giving him a B 830 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,920 Speaker 1: to to be able to weather the storm, to to 831 00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,320 Speaker 1: to push Ohio State to to the essentially their limits 832 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,120 Speaker 1: there in Week one, to have that awful loss first 833 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,520 Speaker 1: Marshal and then the turnaround when three games get the 834 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,399 Speaker 1: offense going, defense continues to perform. Well. I think there's 835 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,040 Speaker 1: a team that's believing. You know, they love their head coach, 836 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,279 Speaker 1: so I love the direction of the program. I love 837 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 1: him as a head coach. I think he's doing a 838 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:39,720 Speaker 1: pretty damn good job. So he gets a B for me. Okay, Okay, 839 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,800 Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman with the big b uh. Brandon Rhodes and 840 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,759 Speaker 1: the chat says Brandon Rhodes says, Brent Vinables has to 841 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,959 Speaker 1: be on edibles like coaching. That man is a dumpster fire. 842 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,319 Speaker 1: We'll get to Vinables. I do have to say, though, 843 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 1: Brent Vinables is probably like on the much lower end 844 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:57,640 Speaker 1: of the list of college coaches I would expect to 845 00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,279 Speaker 1: be on edibles during the game. He seems pretty area. 846 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 1: Um okay, uh oh real quick, y'all.

They 888 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 1: are objectively worse than when he got there. Uh. When 889 00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,640 Speaker 1: you combine that with the fact that expectations got pumped 890 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,959 Speaker 1: significantly in the preseason. I mean, just look at Tyler 891 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,080 Speaker 1: van Dyke. What the hell happened to Tyler van Dyke? 892 00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,359 Speaker 1: How does he throw twenty five touchdowns and six picks 893 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,000 Speaker 1: last year with almost three hundred game and now he's 894 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,160 Speaker 1: down to two fifty seven touchdowns four picks from the 895 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,080 Speaker 1: second rated quarterback in the conference to the seventh. And 896 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,320 Speaker 1: that's even like he's even gotten better. They only scored 897 00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,680 Speaker 1: twenty four against un C. That's why I brought it 898 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,200 Speaker 1: up earlier. UNC gives up thirty three game. If you 899 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,520 Speaker 1: only scored twenty four against Chiswick and that UNC defense, 900 00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:52,880 Speaker 1: you deserve to be fired on the spot, even if 901 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:56,080 Speaker 1: you have a twenty billion dollar buyouts. So marrow Chris Ball. 902 00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,800 Speaker 1: Hard f hard F I'm with you. Two f F 903 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,000 Speaker 1: F f F. I mean A and m's garbage. You 904 00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,000 Speaker 1: lost to them, U n see defensively, you just say 905 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:06,879 Speaker 1: the points and then you lose to Middle Tennessee State 906 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,880 Speaker 1: at home. Uh, it's just a program right now in 907 00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:14,080 Speaker 1: in in a bad place. Fans don't show up the games. Ye, 908 00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,839 Speaker 1: players aren't playing well, coaches aren't doing their job. It's 909 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,320 Speaker 1: it's ugly mean. We were hoping that Miami's back, just 910 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,840 Speaker 1: because they're They're one of those brands that you know, 911 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:26,439 Speaker 1: when Miami's performing, in Miami's in the conversation, football is better, 912 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,960 Speaker 1: just like when us see in Texas are performing, Football 913 00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,200 Speaker 1: is just better. In college football is better. And and 914 00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,120 Speaker 1: we were hoping that they would get there this year 915 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:37,279 Speaker 1: with Mario Crista ball and it just ain't happening. And 916 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,680 Speaker 1: so yeah, that's a big f And you can't lose 917 00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:42,160 Speaker 1: those type of ball games, especially some of them being 918 00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,719 Speaker 1: at home and essentially ruining a possible opportunity for your 919 00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:47,880 Speaker 1: quarterback to be a top two round pick. I mean, 920 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:49,719 Speaker 1: Tyler van Dyck would have been better off sitting this 921 00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:53,000 Speaker 1: year out and then getting ready for the NFL draft 922 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,680 Speaker 1: because he's he's literally gone from possibly a top two 923 00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:59,160 Speaker 1: round too, maybe not even draftable at this point. So 924 00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:02,920 Speaker 1: it's wild. It's well, then, I know, correlation doesn't all 925 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,399 Speaker 1: equal causation, but it does directly correlate with Martin Chris 926 00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,480 Speaker 1: Walls showing up to town. Uh. And let's not forget 927 00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:15,080 Speaker 1: after you lost to Middle Tennessee by fourteen, their coach 928 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,399 Speaker 1: got on the radio and said, you paid us one 929 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,640 Speaker 1: point five million dollars for one point six yards to carry. 930 00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,279 Speaker 1: That'll get you an F in and of itself, even 931 00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,000 Speaker 1: if you were undefeated on the rest of the season. 932 00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:29,880 Speaker 1: Uh next usays Billy Napier. Okay. Unlike most of the 933 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:34,240 Speaker 1: teams on this list, Darren Florida had very low expectations 934 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:39,080 Speaker 1: entering this season. Then he immediately rockets to the top 935 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:42,160 Speaker 1: with the big Utah win on a huge stage to 936 00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,319 Speaker 1: start the season in the Swamp. I don't think losing 937 00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,600 Speaker 1: a rank Kentucky with Will Levis is that bad. Now, 938 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:53,239 Speaker 1: losing thirty three in Knoxville to Tennessee looks better than ever. 939 00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:56,680 Speaker 1: Uh So, yeah, you didn't look great against South Florida, 940 00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,680 Speaker 1: but you also didn't go full disaster allah Notre Dame 941 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:03,000 Speaker 1: A in Miami. You beat a solid Missoo team that 942 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,839 Speaker 1: covers I got a Napier at a B minus here, 943 00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,839 Speaker 1: maybe even a beat. I think I think I think 944 00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,480 Speaker 1: that that you could say there's no moral victories, but 945 00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,959 Speaker 1: if you look at how Florida fans were feeling about 946 00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,720 Speaker 1: this year, I think he's already snagged a few moral 947 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:21,560 Speaker 1: and real victories. No, and I honestly think going back 948 00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,239 Speaker 1: and you watch the Kentucky game. I thought they were 949 00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,879 Speaker 1: a better football team. Like if you just watch say, 950 00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:30,040 Speaker 1: like the coaches tape. Uh, they they beat up Kentucky. 951 00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:33,879 Speaker 1: You know, Anthony Richardson doesn't throw those interceptions that we're 952 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,680 Speaker 1: not Kentucky's you know, making plays. There's a difference between 953 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,719 Speaker 1: turnovers and takeaways like those were his turning the ball over. 954 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,839 Speaker 1: I think game and then and then what they did 955 00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,880 Speaker 1: on the road versus Tennessee. Who I mean, call me crazy, 956 00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:49,680 Speaker 1: I still think that there's a really good chance that 957 00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,040 Speaker 1: Tennessee wins the game this weekend. You said it like 958 00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,640 Speaker 1: that or that loss looks really darn good and and 959 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,280 Speaker 1: probably one of the most hustile environments and called college football. 960 00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,880 Speaker 1: So I'm with you. B minus Billy Napier. Uh, he's 961 00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,719 Speaker 1: he's he's building I think a heck of a program there. 962 00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,800 Speaker 1: He's committed to recruiting. I think the fan base is 963 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,200 Speaker 1: is true, you know, sipping on the kool aid right now. Uh, 964 00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,120 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson is getting better. This is a team that 965 00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,719 Speaker 1: I think, regardless of what happens this weekend, I do 966 00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:18,400 Speaker 1: think they take care of business first. L s U. 967 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:23,120 Speaker 1: They're taking a some massive steps in the right direction 968 00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:26,440 Speaker 1: to be very consistent in this league. Dude, if they 969 00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,680 Speaker 1: beat LSU this weekend, I mean I think that jumps 970 00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,840 Speaker 1: up Napier to a category. They've lost three in a 971 00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:33,040 Speaker 1: row to l S do you I think it's like 972 00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:36,520 Speaker 1: seven and last nine and and then again if they lose, though, 973 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:38,040 Speaker 1: I don't think it knocks him down at all, which 974 00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:39,560 Speaker 1: is why we get back to kind of who's playing 975 00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,360 Speaker 1: with the house money VERSU who is not this season, 976 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:53,120 Speaker 1: And finally we arrive Brent Venables. I know Mario Cristo 977 00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:56,360 Speaker 1: Ball has been bad, but if I give Mario Cristo 978 00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:58,520 Speaker 1: Ball n F, I have to come up with some 979 00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:02,799 Speaker 1: sort of double seecret robation grade for Brent Venables, as 980 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:08,080 Speaker 1: he should get an F minus minus. I couldn't find 981 00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,960 Speaker 1: the exact number. Er, but Oklahoma has lost something like 982 00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:15,400 Speaker 1: they've had losing season something like twelve years out of 983 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,680 Speaker 1: like a hundred and twenty. They they they've had the 984 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:21,960 Speaker 1: least losing seasons in college football history. And they don't 985 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:25,319 Speaker 1: just look bad right now, they look awful. As we said, 986 00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,439 Speaker 1: they just put together one of the worst three game 987 00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,600 Speaker 1: stretches in the past forty years of college football, and 988 00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:35,080 Speaker 1: that's not actually an exaggeration, y'all. And that's not that's 989 00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:39,080 Speaker 1: not exaggeration when when you look at where they were favored, right, 990 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,400 Speaker 1: aggregate spread, like we said, how much did you actually 991 00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,879 Speaker 1: lose by versus what were you favored by? That three 992 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:48,080 Speaker 1: game stretch is top five bad in the last forty 993 00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:51,160 Speaker 1: years for a team that was ranked earlier. So they 994 00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:59,480 Speaker 1: have fallen, fallen astronomically short of expectations. They lost to 995 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,680 Speaker 1: zero O to their arch rival. What could be worse? 996 00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,759 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right, losing forty nine to zero for 997 00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,480 Speaker 1: your art rival for a third loss in a row. 998 00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,239 Speaker 1: And it doesn't feel like brand Venables is the one 999 00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,680 Speaker 1: to fix it. Just an awful grade here early on 1000 00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:19,919 Speaker 1: F minus minus. Damn, you're going lower than than our boy, 1001 00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,080 Speaker 1: Mario Chris Ball. I'm not gonna go. I'm not gonna 1002 00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,480 Speaker 1: go that extreme with with benevals. I'm gonna give them 1003 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,880 Speaker 1: with D. I'm not gonna put him in an F 1004 00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:32,399 Speaker 1: category because because listen, they looked good and and I'm 1005 00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:34,680 Speaker 1: saying that, but Nebraska is not very good. But Nebraska 1006 00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:38,560 Speaker 1: also is playing a little bit better, right, Well, no, 1007 00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:43,040 Speaker 1: that's Mickey Joseph Nebraska hold on. Now, that's a different 1008 00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:44,840 Speaker 1: it is different. It is it is a different Nebraska. 1009 00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:47,560 Speaker 1: But you know they look good. They're like that's when 1010 00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,919 Speaker 1: you really started to sit on on on man, Maybe 1011 00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,520 Speaker 1: this team is is really good with Naples in year one. 1012 00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:57,560 Speaker 1: Defensively looks like they're buying in. They stop Nebraska, you know, 1013 00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:01,919 Speaker 1: forty fourteen, Um, Kansas State, it's a good team. Let's see. 1014 00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,439 Speaker 1: Let's let's let's just list off who they've lost to. First, 1015 00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:08,680 Speaker 1: like Kansas State undefeated in the conference five one overall 1016 00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:14,640 Speaker 1: TCU undefeated, Texas maybe could have beat Alabama quinn YUS 1017 00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,520 Speaker 1: was playing. That's a great Texas football teams. Like, yes, 1018 00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:21,279 Speaker 1: the way they lost in Texas sucks, but that was right. 1019 00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,600 Speaker 1: Now that your three losses against three the best teams 1020 00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,720 Speaker 1: in your conference in this past week was without yours, 1021 00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,960 Speaker 1: without your court, both of them both that were not competitive. 1022 00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:36,560 Speaker 1: We're without your starting quarterback, dealing Gabriel got hurt midway 1023 00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,680 Speaker 1: through that game verse TCU, and I think that's a 1024 00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:41,120 Speaker 1: more of an issue if you do not have a 1025 00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,880 Speaker 1: capable backup, and we talked about yesterday's show, if you 1026 00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,359 Speaker 1: do not have a capable backup in any conference, right 1027 00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:49,239 Speaker 1: now you're in Deep Doo Dooo in Oklahoma. That's the 1028 00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 1: biggest issue. Once did Once Dealing Gabriel is out, this 1029 00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,440 Speaker 1: offense has has has no identity. They can't move the football. 1030 00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,360 Speaker 1: So I take that into account. Like if Dealan Gabriel 1031 00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:02,759 Speaker 1: is healthy, they probably still lose both games. I don't 1032 00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,920 Speaker 1: think they're as bad. So I'm not gonna say this 1033 00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:09,080 Speaker 1: team is complete trash right now. It's it's they've talent 1034 00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,400 Speaker 1: on both sides. They gotta get more, they gotta get 1035 00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,359 Speaker 1: better talent on defense. I will say that, but I'm 1036 00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:16,760 Speaker 1: not gonna say F. I'll say D. It's not great. 1037 00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's still not passing out believe 1038 00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:25,480 Speaker 1: so um no, I would say Actually, our straight coach 1039 00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,359 Speaker 1: did used to say D for degree, So I don't 1040 00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:31,440 Speaker 1: know degrees. Ah, yeah, I think you're I don't know, 1041 00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:34,800 Speaker 1: but technically degree does start with the D, right you 1042 00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:41,160 Speaker 1: l s U Education, Georgia, general studies, maybe general studies. 1043 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:45,360 Speaker 1: That's far enough. Whatever your between your usage of oopsie, 1044 00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:48,400 Speaker 1: I had an oopsie to start the show and talking 1045 00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,840 Speaker 1: about Deep Doo Doo, I can definitely tell that you 1046 00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:55,440 Speaker 1: are getting ready for potty Traine next weekend, next weekend. 1047 00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,440 Speaker 1: Oh that's funny.
