1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. We've spent years

2
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: understanding the concept of the Witching Hour on Sundays, and

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: we know exactly what that means. It's the final opportunity

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: where games are won or lost. Right now, as we

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: sit in this moment in college football, it's not games

6
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: that are going to be won or lost. It's seasons.

7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: Seasons are on the line for college football playoff contenders

8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: that have found themselves in holes and they are trying

9
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: to dig their way out. And yet again we are

10
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: being reminded that everything we think we know about college football,

11
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: we just don't.

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 2: It's fucking fits sort of Fox Sports.

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: Radio on a Fox Sports Saturday, Buck Rising traveling with

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, as he does every weekend. He is

15
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: in Arizona. He will join us each hour for a

16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: little bit. I'm Jason Fitz. I'll be holding down for you.

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: And as we sit right now, if we had started

18
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: this show thirty minutes ago, it looked like some things

19
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: were clear. It looked thirty minutes ago so like Penn

20
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: State was about to take the most unthinkable loss we

21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: could imagine this year in college football, as they have

22
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: been just getting stomped by UCLA.

23
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: That's right, Ucla, the same UCLA team.

24
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: That has fired their head coach that now has an

25
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: offense coordinator it's like, nah, I'm good. A defense coordinator.

26
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: That's like, nah, I'm good. Everybody is new in that building.

27
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: And just when you thought one of the few teams

28
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: in college football that has looked absolutely beyond incompetent was

29
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: just gonna lay down for dead, they did the opposite.

30
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 2: They took a twenty.

31
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: Seven to seven lead. It looked at the half twenty

32
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: seven seven like UCLA was going to be doing the

33
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: impossible and taking down Penn State. But not so fast,

34
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: my friends. The third store with the third quarter, i

35
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: should say, is about to come to it. In only

36
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: a few seconds remain this game now thirty four to

37
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: twenty one. Penn State closed it. UCLA is trying to

38
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: hang on, and hang on is one of the things

39
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: that has to happen in these situations. That's not the

40
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: only upset. We'll get to some of the others that

41
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: are bruined right now, but no pun intended. But trying

42
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: to hang on is such a key part of this

43
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: because we're used to this. This is what happens like

44
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 1: the lesser of two teams takes a big lead because

45
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: a team seems to have just overlooked them, and then

46
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: what happens in the second half. Can you get that

47
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: burst of energy? Can you find a way to put

48
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: them on their backs? Can you find a way if

49
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: you were the favorite to land some punches that makes

50
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: everything less certain. That's what Penn State has done in

51
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: the third quarter. And now you'll get a real test

52
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: of this. Niko Yama Liaba, as you just heard Manzi

53
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: Blanos tell you brilliantly, is having the game of his

54
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: life for UCLA. And he's a quarterback that was left

55
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: for dead just a few minutes ago, just left for dead,

56
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden, here he is having

57
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: this sort of a game in this sort of a

58
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: landmark moment for this program that absolutely nobody cared about.

59
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: Right, That is what makes this season beautiful.

60
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: What also makes this season beautiful is we just got

61
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: a turnover by Alabama. Vandy has returned it for a touchdown.

62
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: We'll see what the ruling is. This is the chaos

63
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: Ian Are we ready for this? Like Buck Rising? Not

64
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: here for this? For the For the beginning of the show,

65
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: they'll begin again joining us throughout. But he's a slacker,

66
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: so that I mean, I just, what do we two

67
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: for four?

68
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 3: Now?

69
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 2: I'm Buck actually showing up for work two for four?

70
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like I feel like maybe maybe

71
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: there's a fine coming, Like it just feels.

72
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 2: Like there we go like it's it's it's it's inevitable.

73
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: On this show, you're gonna get fined and the Buck's

74
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: gonna face a fine, but he's also missing. I think

75
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: one of the better endings like this. This morning, when

76
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: I woke up and I looked across the college football landscape,

77
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I said the same thing everybody said.

78
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: I mean, Alabama versus Vandy, certainly because of revenge, looks sexy,

79
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: But did any of us really think that UCLA was

80
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a sexy matchup in this In this game, No,

81
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: against Penn State. We all thought Penn State would rule.

82
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: As much as people tried to tell me that Florida

83
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: versus Texas was gonna come down to the wire, I

84
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: had a hard time seeing that. I just keep thinking

85
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: every week is gonna be the week that Texas figures

86
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: it out, and instead they're losing twenty two to fourteen

87
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: with Florida have of the ball. Like this entire college

88
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: football year is on its head. And usually I'm the

89
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: one that you know, Buck has made clear I start

90
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: every week by, you know, kind of poop pooing on

91
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: everybody's weedies.

92
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, nothing matters, nothing matters.

93
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: Well, these games matter tremendously because if you look across

94
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: all of this, I mean, Alabama can't take a second

95
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: loss right here to Vandy. What does that do for

96
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: everybody that was in my mentions last week telling me

97
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: that Alabama was back? I mean, what does this do?

98
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: But Penn State can't take a second loss in the

99
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: season and have that loss be unthinkably to UCLA, Like

100
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: there's just there's no wiggle room left for some of

101
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: these teams to win in the court of public opinion.

102
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: And now tuck a touchdown for Florida on a long

103
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: touchdown pass. All of a sudden, Florida has got Texas reeling.

104
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: They're gonna take a two touchdown lead, two touch stowns

105
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,119
Speaker 1: plus they're twenty eight to fourteen, pending the two point

106
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: or pending the point after attempt. I mean, Florida has

107
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: the opportunity essentially put a fork in this thing. I

108
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: know that we've had to accept that undefeated seasons are

109
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: no longer par for the course. But what we're seeing

110
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: today could genuinely change the entire college football playoff landscape.

111
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: And that's stunning. I don't know what's the most stunning.

112
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: I don't know right now if I'm more perplexed that

113
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: coming off of what Penn State came off of going

114
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: across country against a bad UCLA team that they just

115
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: essentially overslept the entire game. I don't know if that's.

116
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: More confusing to me, or if it's more confusing to me.

117
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: That yet again, on another Saturday, I'm watching Arch Manning

118
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: miss people that are wide open, Like, y'all, we need

119
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: to have a real conversation. Texas is not back Texas is.

120
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: I mean, depending on what happens in the fourth quarter,

121
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: they could be taking their second loss of the season.

122
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: But also, everybody, everybody top to bottom was wrong about

123
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: Arch and it's that to me, is just it's jarring

124
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: to see guys wide open in a game that you're

125
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: now down by two scores, wide open guys that your

126
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: starting quarterback is missing by five.

127
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 2: Yards, over and over and over again.

128
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: And I heard them say on the broadcast he's not

129
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: processing quickly enough. No, he's also not accurate enough. Like, y'all,

130
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: when do we just get to say that Art sucks?

131
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: Because right now that's what it looks like, like we're

132
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: all seeing it and we.

133
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 2: Are waiting forever to say it.

134
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: And I just I don't know why. I don't know

135
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: if it's because of the last name. I don't know

136
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: if it's because everybody's just embarrassed about how wrong they were.

137
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: Like at this point, Paul, fine baumb you owe everybody

138
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 2: in a pot. Maybe you should go into politics because

139
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: your take on Arch was that bad.

140
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: How were you that wrong? How did everybody sit here

141
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: and say Arch was gonna be the first pick in

142
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: the draft? How did everybody sit here and say that

143
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: teams should want to suck for a kid that can't

144
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: even make it, can't even find a wide, open wide

145
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: receiver that's just cruising down the field. I mean, he

146
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: missed a couple of guys today that were open enough.

147
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: They could have taken a time. They could have had

148
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: a picnic basket, they could have unpacked the picnic basket,

149
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: they could have had a snack.

150
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: And Arch didn't get anywhere near him.

151
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: This is stunning to me to see some of these

152
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: results because the.

153
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,679
Speaker 2: More we talk about it, and the more all.

154
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: Of us that cover the sport constantly say, well, you know,

155
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: college football is unpredictable. What I can't figure out is

156
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: how does everybody involved on the field not feel the

157
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: same urgency? That's what I can't figure out. If your

158
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: Penn State and you took a loss and now you

159
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: need to show the world exactly who you are. Penn State,

160
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: by the way, just scored a touchdown, so we are

161
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: early in the fourth quarter and we were back to

162
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: we are back to what is right now a seven

163
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: point game, penning the extra point, So seven point game there.

164
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: But if you're Penn State, how'd you even get here?

165
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 3: Like?

166
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: If we're going to see here and say with any

167
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: level of genuineness that well, that's what makes college football great.

168
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: You just never know what every week's going to be like.

169
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: Shouldn't that be the very ammunition that has kids coming

170
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: out in major programs fired up to play? I can

171
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: buy Vandy Alabama coming down to the wire because Vandy

172
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: and Alabama both look like maybe they're actually pretty damn

173
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: good football teams, or at least pretty evenly matched football teams,

174
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: whether we think they're good or not, they're pretty evenly matched,

175
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: and we like that. What I can't buy is how

176
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: Penn State or Texas can come out just looking this

177
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: incompetent and still be any part of the conversation about

178
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: the top ten. Like, what we're learning today is that

179
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: Penn State really isn't a national championship contender because you

180
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: can't tell me that you trust Penn State if you

181
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: can't trust them against UCLA coming off for loss that

182
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: they took at home to Oregon. And what we're learning

183
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: today is that Texas is not back and that Arch

184
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 1: is not good. But what we're also learning today is

185
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: that the entire AP poll is broken. What we're also

186
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: learning today is that the entire summer that is spent

187
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: speculating about all of this is wasted time, like when

188
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: you watch these games actually play out. If we are

189
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: going to accept the logic that college football has become

190
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: truly the most unpredictable of all sports and every Saturday

191
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: is a new Saturday and you genuinely have no idea.

192
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: If that's the answer to the question, then I guess

193
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to figure out, is what are we

194
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: talking about all summer? Like, what are we talking about

195
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: all spring? Because if it comes down to these moments

196
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: and we're this wrong, we don't just have to look

197
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: at the teams. We don't have to just look at

198
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: the players. Man, we got to look at the process.

199
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: If everybody is this damn wrong about Texas and Arch

200
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: and James Franklin and Penn State, man, to me, that

201
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: says something. Be sure to check out DraftKings Sports Book.

202
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm trying not to look at it

203
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: right now because it has just taken my money. DraftKings

204
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: Sportsbook has just absolutely and official sports betting partner of

205

208
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: Fox Game. I'm gonna need every promo code again. I

209
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: am just getting hammered today because everything I thought was

210
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: true is a lie. That is what we are learning

211
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: on this wildly weird Saturday in college football. I love

212
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: it because, as somebody that loves covering the sport with

213
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: no favorite team, I don't care who wins or loses.

214
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: I just want chaos. I just cannot believe we are

215
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: sitting here right now watching possibly let's see how the

216
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: last thirteen to fourteen minutes of game time plays out.

217
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: We could be watching Penn State literally just throw away

218
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: their entire season. We could be watching Texas throw away

219
00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: their entire season. We are watching Arch tell everybody, hey man,

220
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: not this year, maybe not even next year, like this

221
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: concept that it's all going to get right for Arch

222
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: based on what like if you look across the board.

223
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: What we're learning today is that some of the conversations

224
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: we've been having are wildly, wildly wrong, and I don't

225
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: know the right way to fix it, because I don't

226
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: know how we can all be this wrong and keep

227
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: our heads held high during the Baseball Pro season. Strauss

Speaker 5: listen live.

254
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: I can either confirm nor deny if he's currently at

255
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: a Golden Corral in Arizona.

256
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: But in my mind he is.

257
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: He's buck rising on Jason Fitzer's Bucking Fits. We're hanging

258
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: out with you on Fox Sports Radio. On this fine

259
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: filled Saturday because Buck had some technology issues not able

260
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: to be here with this for the entire show, so

261
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: he's calling in now. So we've decided that there's going

262
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: to be a bevy of fines. I'm just saying that

263
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: may make a like another fine Buck is here. Yep,

264
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: see one fine per segment. You still get one this segment. Buck,

265
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: How are we doing, buddy?

266
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 3: We are you know, a little uncomfy to be honest

267
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 3: with you right now because I am locked in on

268
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 3: this Alabama Vanderbilt game into the fourth quarter now, Vanderbilt

269
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 3: trailing fourteen to twenty in Tuscalousa, with Diego Papy at

270
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 3: midfield driving. I want this so bad, Fitsy, this is incredible.

271
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is an incredible game. I will say this.

272
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: If the argument is that I'm just watching the game

273
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: and I lost my train of thought, the argument is

274
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: that Alabama is a playoff team, then how can you

275
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: tell me Vanderbilt isn't? Like this has been blow for blow.

276
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: These two teams looked wildly evenly matched throughout it. So

277
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: I think one of the more jarring things to me

278
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: about this book, you tell me what you think, like,

279
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: I think one of the more jarring things has been.

280
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 1: I expected Alabama to come out really be fired up,

281
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: and instead it felt like Vandy was ready for every

282
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: single punch, and they've been able to CounterPunch every single time.

283
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: So even though everybody will tell me they don't have

284
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: the Joe's, it certainly looks like they do throughout the

285
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: course of this game.

286
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 3: Well, and the thing that most impressed me is now

287
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 3: Vanderbilt is inside the red zone after a big completion.

288
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 3: There is the way that oh, diego Papia pick. Oh

289
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 3: that's a good punch. Oh oh no, I.

290
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: Was his second red zone turnover, his second red zone.

291
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: Seed Buck gets on the phone with us and then bam,

292
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: red zone turnover. This is what happens.

293
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I'm sick. I mean I was. That

294
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 3: was good to say that, the way that Vanderbilt was

295
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 3: able to compete with Alabama and still is competing with

296
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 3: Alabama in the trenches. Fitzy, that's the thing that's insane

297
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 3: about a result like this, that it's a grinded out game.

298
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 3: I believe the over under, depending on which sportsbook you

299
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 3: were looking at, was said it about fifty six and

300
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 3: a half. I believe I bet the over. I expected

301
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 3: Alabama and the talent disparity to kind of allow them

302
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 3: to pull away, even if PAVI and Vanderbilt went down

303
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 3: there and fought and gutted it out and made it

304
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 3: their game. But they have dragged Alabama into the mud.

305
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 3: And you know, save that critical error in the red

306
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:32,479
Speaker 3: zone that we just witnessed, I have been wildly impressed

307
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 3: with the way that they've been able to handle themselves.

308
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 3: But of course you have to play a mistake free game.

309
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 3: Pavia had the fumble early earlier. I thought there could

310
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 3: have been some room for interpretation on the call whether

311
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 3: his forearm was down when the ball came out. Obviously,

312
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 3: Ty Simpson had a similar, more clear situation where he

313
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 3: fumbled but the ball but he was down as the

314
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 3: ball carrier, So obviously that touchdown for Vanderbilt was overturned.

315
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 3: Can you had to play a perfect game be able

316
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 3: to pull off again an incredible upset after last year's

317
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 3: upset of the century and the teams Vanderbilt is gonna

318
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 3: fray here a little bit late.

319
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 2: There's still thirteen minutes left and it's a one score game.

320
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: We cannot say the same about UCLA, who just scored

321
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: a touchdown and Niko Yama Liavo with a great play

322
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: for on a two point conversion. Ucla is now beating

323
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: Penn State forty two to twenty eight with about six

324
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: and a half minutes ago. Can we just stick a

325
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: fork in this Penn State season now to me? Because like,

326
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: I don't know how you recover. You could take a

327
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: second loss, that's fine. I don't think you can take

328
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: a second loss to a team as bad as UCLA

329
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: and not have everybody pucker it up, like as the

330
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: concept is at some point, well, you know, a two

331
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: loss Penn State team that doesn't play in the Big

332
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: Ten championship game still goes to the playoffs. Man, you

333
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: now you're rooting for a lot of other things to

334
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: start breaking, because I don't know that a two loss

335
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: Penn State team with this loss is going to get

336
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: a lot of grace.

337
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 3: Well and brings up a conversation about James Franklin and

338
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 3: just generally like where we as pundits got it so

339
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 3: wrong with preseason expectations around Penn State and Texas who

340
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 3: is trailing in the swamp and bleeding out essentially at

341
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 3: this point in time, I know Arch had a thirty

342
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 3: eight yard touchdown pass earlier to keep get them just

343
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 3: to cut into the lead. But Florida is a stinky,

344
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 3: stinky offense and has really done well to handle themselves

345
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 3: against Texas. Texas has been wildly disappointing. Penn State has

346
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 3: been wildly disappointing. Nobody expected them. I mean, I don't

347
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 3: know the Vegas favored them in that game against Oregon.

348
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 3: To your point, to see, and Dan Lanning's team is

349
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 3: the least discussably we talked about this last Saturday, one

350
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 3: of the more underrated or just one of the quieter

351
00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 3: success stories of the college football season. But UCLA is

352
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 3: objectively bad. Like I had planned as a you know,

353
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 3: as a Tennessee grifter to on the balls by we

354
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 3: just watch UCLA implode and you know, make jokes about

355
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 3: koeomaliabam because I'm petty on social media and things like that.

356
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 3: That's not I'm not. He's deprived me of that joy

357
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 3: today because they showed up to play Penn State very

358
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 3: clearly as not And to your point, I think this,

359
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 3: if you know, the results continue to continue to hold

360
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 3: this way. No, that team does not deserve to participate

361
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 3: in the College Football Playoff, which is crazy again given

362
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 3: the preseason expectation.

363
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: But I think that comes back to the point, do

364
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: we need to re examine our process because we were

365
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: so wildly wrong about so many things? Not we, you

366
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: and I, but the collective college football media was so

367
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: wildly wrong.

368
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 3: Maybe just a little bit we.

369
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah we too, But I mean not just we,

370
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of we. Like Look, I

371
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: said it earlier, I will say it again, especially after.

372
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 2: Yet another stupid, stupid, stupid throw.

373
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: Arch Manning not like Arch Manning is not just having

374
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: some struggles. Arch Manning sucks like. He doesn't look like

375
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: he's a capable college quarterback. If your goal is to

376
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: have Arch Manning save your NFL team, that's not just

377
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: shot for next year's draft. Like I'm looking at it saying,

378
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: somebody show me where the NFL prospect is on this.

379
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: He's missing guys wide open, he's laid on throws, he's

380
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: throwing high all over the place. He's gonna get his

381
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: guys murdered on this had yet another bad throw.

382
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: In this process.

383
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: So like Arch and Texas, Texas is not back arches

384
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: arch sucks like. It just feels like we were wrong

385
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: about so much with this one.

386
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 3: I kind of love it, though. I mean, if I'm

387
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 3: being honest with you, like this college football season is insane.

388
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 3: I'm literally watching Vanderbilt again if you have any concept

389
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 3: of the history of college football to talk about Vanderbilt

390
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 3: competing in a game in Tuscaloosa, trailing Yes by six

391
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 3: and having just turned it over in the red zone.

392
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 3: But that's fine, Like this is living up the game

393
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 3: of the week Arch Manning in Texas. I knew that

394
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 3: this Florida Texas game was going to be discussing these

395
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 3: two programs do not meet. I think the broadcast of

396
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 3: the last time they've seen each other was World War Two,

397
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 3: which is again, is an insanity and something that I

398
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 3: rather enjoy about the reformulation of college football, even if

399
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 3: truthers are or you know, the old guard take issue

400
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 3: with the with the way that the sport has been restructured,

401
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 3: I enjoyed. I have never enjoyed being wrong as much

402
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 3: as I have this college football season, because I think

403
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 3: it's been filled with so many different twists and turns.

404
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 3: We're not even to the halfway point yet, obviously we're

405
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 3: coming up on it, but still, like I think by design,

406
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 3: maybe not necessarily all of the different results that we've seen.

407
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 3: But as we talked about a little bit last week,

408
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 3: I feel like the changes to the sport have been

409
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 3: effective in terms of how much more, how much more

410
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 3: gripping it is on a week by week basis, and

411
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 3: how how it should re evaluate or how we should

412
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 3: reevaluate the way that we talk about a lot of

413
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 3: these programs coming into a season. But at Arch, I

414
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 3: I mean it's I want to I want I don't

415
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 3: want to make excuses for him. SITSI right, because to

416
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 3: your point, he is He's just bad. He has been bad.

417
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 3: He has been objectively awful to start his it's not

418
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 3: the start of his collegiate career, but his first full

419
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 3: season as d guy right, as the guy at the

420
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 3: program with national championship expectations.

421
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:33,239
Speaker 1: Uh.

422
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 3: And I don't know if we are if we are

423
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 3: as reactive to Arch because one name on the back

424
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 3: of his jersey to the program that he plays four

425
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 3: and three. It was easy to get caught up in

426
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 3: the in a bit of the preseason manium, maybe not

427
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 3: to the extent that Finebaum did with you think that

428
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 3: that the Arch Manning take was so bad that it's

429
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 3: driving finebaumb into politics. You see that craft this week?

430
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look a better senator than he is

431
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: a college football guy based on that arts man, I like,

432
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 1: I love.

433
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 2: Paul, but like that's a a terrible, terrible take.

434
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I just think that there's a lot

435
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 3: of things happening with the arch Manning experience. But I mean,

436
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 3: if you just if you took off if his name

437
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 3: was you know, if his name was Adams on the

438
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 3: back of his jersey as opposed to Manning, with the

439
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 3: reaction be this strong and the answer is probably still yes,

440
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 3: because he's just terrible.

441
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 2: I think it'd be even worse. I think I'll answer

442
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: this on the other side.

443
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,639

Speaker 2: I agree.

456
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 6: Arch Manning is I don't know, guys, I don't know

457
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 6: what he needs. If it's more reps, if he needs

458
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 6: some you know, Michael Jordan's secret juice. I don't know.

459
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 6: But it's not looking good for number nine Texas right now.

460
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 6: Florida is up twenty nine to fourteen with about eight

461
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 6: minutes to go in the game between number sixteen Vanderbilt

462
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 6: and number ten Alabama. Diego Pavia just through an interception,

463
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 6: giving the ball back to Alabama. It's twenty to fourteen

464
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 6: with the Crimson tide up early in the fourth quarter

465
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 6: when it comes to Boise State and number twenty one

466
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 6: Notre Dame. Notre Dame has extended their lead twenty eight

467
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 6: to seven. Is a score six minutes to go in

468
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 6: that one. Louisville keeping it close against number twenty four Virginia,

469
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 6: who is up twenty four to twenty one with less

470
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 6: than ten minutes to go. Literally haven't mentioned number five

471
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 6: Oklahoma all day because they're just crushing Kent State. It's

472
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 6: forty four zero was still three minutes to go in

473
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 6: the third quarter. But the game of the day number

474
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 6: seven Penn State and UCLA nico Io Maliava. I don't

475
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 6: know what he is doing today, but he is sixteen

476
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 6: of twenty three, one hundred and sixty six yards, two

477
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 6: touchdowns in the air. What is he doing on the ground.

478
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 6: He's got fifteen carries for one hundred and thirty yards

479
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 6: and three touch down. The Bruins are up forty two

480
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 6: to twenty eight, less than five minutes to go in

481
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 6: the game.

482
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 2: If you did not watch.

483
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 6: This game, Ucla started a game on their opening drive

484
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 6: with a touchdown, and then they went for an on

485
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 6: sidekick and they got it. That's how it's been all

486
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 6: day for UCLA. One upset. When it comes to college football,

487
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 6: Cincinnati with the thirty eight to thirty upset over number

488
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 6: fourteen Iowa State victory is also for number twelve Georgia,

489
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 6: number twenty Michigan, and number twenty two Illinois. When it

490
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 6: comes to base ball, the Yankees had a golden opportunity.

491
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 6: They missed it. In the sixth inning, bases loaded, Aaron

492
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 6: Judge comes up to the plate, strikes out. Cody Bellinger

493
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 6: comes in gets walked, they get one run. John Carlos

494
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 6: Stan steps up to the plate strikes out. So right now,

495
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 6: the Blue Jays are still up on the Yankees, and

496
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 6: they've extended their lead. It's five to one, bottom of

497
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 6: the seventh inning and the Brewers have a nine. The

498
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 6: Brewers not have a nine. They already beat the Cubs

499
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 6: nine to three in Game one of the NLDS. And

500
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 6: a story that started one way is now different with

501
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 6: more information. As a former NFL quarterback and current Fox

502
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 6: Sports broadcaster Mark Sanchez is hospitalized after being stabbed in

503
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 6: Indianapolis early Saturday morning. In a statement by Fox Sports,

504
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 6: they said he's recovering and stable condition. He's not going

505
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 6: to be part of the broadcast crew for Sunday's game

506
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 6: between the Raiders and the Colts, but now Indianapolis Indianapolis

507
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 6: Police say that they have arrested Sanchez while he was

508
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 6: at the hospital for battery with injury, unlawful entry of

509
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 6: a motor vehicle, and public intoxication.

510
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: Back to you, guys, Monci, just amazing work while youre

511
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: getting us caught up on all that, and while you

512
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: were doing it, Penn State scored so forty two to

513
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: thirty five. Now Penn State scores, we are down to

514
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: a one touchdown game. For all that Nico Yama Lava

515
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: has done in this game, it is down to one

516
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: Score's here's the thing Book you said earlier. You know,

517
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: how would we be treating the art situation if his

518
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: last name wasn't Manny. I think if Archer's last name

519
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: was Aler, We'd be killing him. Killing Like if Arch's

520
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: last name was Iana Liava, we'd be killing him. So

521
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: it's funny because there is this moment where in my

522
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: experience in media, I think a lot of times when

523
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: people are just drastically wrong, they are slow to change

524
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 1: their opinion because of the egg on the face that

525
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: comes with it. And I just think everybody's sitting here

526
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: saying it's gonna turn around. It's gonna turn around. Why

527
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: because it's.

528
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: Arch and has to turn around?

529
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 3: Does it?

530
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 6: Like?

531
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: What if Arch just isn't good? And I think that's

532
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: like the reality we have to face now is like, yes,

533
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: he was a high, high recruit coming in one of

534
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: the highest stars we've seen, blah blah blah blah blah.

535
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 1: That doesn't matter. Quarterbacks that are high recruits come out

536
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: all the time and end up sucking, Like what if

537
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: Arch just isn't good? Like congratulations to having a great bloodline,

538
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean he's gonna be a great quarterback.

539
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: And if the presumption is he is good, I would

540
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: love for anybody to tell me based on what other

541
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: than your concept of what you think should happen for Arch,

542
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 1: what have we actually seen on the field that makes

543
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: a single one of us thinks that he's a capable

544
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: sec Like right now, Diego Pavia is a better quarterback

545
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: to have behind center than Arch Manning is.

546
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 3: I think it's so funny that you bring this up

547
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 3: because Nick Wright had a Fox Sports of course, had

548
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 3: a similar or at least a take that was kind

549
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 3: of parallel to this, but within the context of Lamar Jackson.

550
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw this clip that was

551
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 3: making the rounds fit see this week, And again, objectively,

552
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 3: I disagreed with Nick Wright because of some of the

553
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 3: things that he was harping on about Lamar and injuries,

554
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 3: and Lamar hasn't really missed that much time due to

555
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 3: injury prior to this hamstring thing that he's dealing with,

556
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 3: but that people have over corrected on Lamar because of

557
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 3: all of the criticism around him or all of the

558
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 3: skepticism around him coming out of the draft process. I

559
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 3: think Bill Polly and should he play wide receiver, this, that,

560
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 3: and the other. And so when Lamar underperforms or you know,

561
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 3: has some kind of issue, people are slow to or

562
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 3: get Nick Ryan is alleging that people are slow to

563
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 3: criticize Lamar because they want to They want to almost

564
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 3: make up for how wrong they could have been on

565
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 3: the front end of his career. And you putting it

566
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 3: within the context of Arch is fascinating because I do

567
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 3: think there's some truth to that, right. I want to

568
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 3: believe that Arch Banding is going to be good some point,

569
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 3: not just because you know, I mean, I'm not the

570
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 3: team that I cover. I'm out here in Arizona for

571
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 3: Titans Cardinals Barnburner that that will be tomorrow at State

572
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 3: Farms Stadium, But I'm not the team that I cover.

573
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 3: Is not going to be in the market for a quarterback.

574
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 3: But if I'm a Saints fan or looking around in

575
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 3: the quarterback draft right now, the draft prospects these quarterbacks

576
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 3: are are really underwhelming as far as what is going

577
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 3: to be available to NFL franchises, and not even just

578
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 3: for the purposes of the next level or the next

579
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 3: step of their career, because I mean, I'd be shocked.

580
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 3: It would have been surprising to see Arch declare for

581
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 3: the draft after this year, even if he had performed

582
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 3: well now it would I mean, it would almost seems negligent.

583
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 3: I don't even know if he doesn't look draftable at

584
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 3: this point, which is such a wild thing to say.

585
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 3: So I do think that to your point, that the

586
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 3: last name buys him a lot more grace or at

587
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 3: least a little bit more benefit of the doubt, because

588
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 3: at some point he's a Manning. For God's sake, this

589
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 3: is going to click even Cooper, whose career ended as

590
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 3: a wide receiver due to injury. Cooper was a high

591
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 3: level player, Like we don't believe that the word manning

592
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 3: or the name Manning and failure can exist in the

593
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 3: same sentence, But my god, does that look like it's

594
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 3: the case right now, especially for as vehemently as Steve

595
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 3: Sarkesian has shot down any questions about injuries to him

596
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 3: earlier in the season.

597
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, if it's injury and related, then I

598
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: think they'd actually be doing a benefit to everybody to

599
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: let the world know that as he had what would

600
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: have been a tough throw right there, but he missed

601
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: yet another downfield receiver.

602
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 2: It would actually be to the benefit of the player

603
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 2: to let him know that. But Buck, what's.

604
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: Stunning to me is like, you're right, this is what

605
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: we've done. We've taken the last name. Well, Like, look,

606
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: your mom book is a brilliant woman, You're not smart,

607
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: so like, you know, I mean I had to throw that.

608
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: Like my brother is one of the most tone deaf

609
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: people I've.

610
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 2: Ever met in my life.

611
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: Like neither of my parents have an ounce of musical skill. None,

612
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm lucky enough to have a bunch

613
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: of Grammy nominations in my lifetime. Right, Like I think

614
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: that there's just this moment that it's not fine, it's

615
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: not I've just had to give context the case people

616
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: didn't know I hear. Look the way I see it

617
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: is like just because his last name is Manning, it

618
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: doesn't mean he's Peyton, it doesn't mean he's Eli, it

619
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: doesn't mean he's any of them. To me, it just

620
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: sort of means he's got to prove it on the

621
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: field himself to be whatever he's going to be and

622
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: what he's like you mentioned, he doesn't look draftable. He

623
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: doesn't look like he should be starting right now. Like

624
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: to me, why pull the kid, Pull the kid and

625
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: help him figure it out because or just let him

626
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: run the football, because when he runs out of the pocket,

627
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: when he uses his at the leticism, he's really good there.

628
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: Just don't let him throw and you'll be fine. And

629
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: I can't believe we're saying that about Arch Manning, who

630
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: was supposed to be the savior. He was supposed to

631
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: be the Heisman winner.

632
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 3: Now that's an interesting question about should they pull it

633
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 3: because he, you know, he appears to be drowning a

634
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 3: little bit right and and there's no there's no real

635
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 3: clear and obvious explanation other than he's not prepared for

636
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 3: the current responsibility. Now I don't want to say prepared.

637
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:34,959
Speaker 3: I'm sure that he studies plenty hard on all I mean,

638
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 3: I guess we don't know that specifically, But I'm going

639
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 3: to assume again benefit of the doubt because the last name, right,

640
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 3: Manning's smart. He's supposed to be a smart kid, right,

641
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 3: He's supposed to have all of the study habits. He's

642
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 3: supposed to fit in the cold tub like Peyton did

643
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 3: with his helmet on watching film. We all remember that

644
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 3: that picture from a couple of years ago when Payton

645
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 3: was on the Broncos for some reason watching film at

646
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 3: the cult tub with his helmet on. Inexplicably, but again

647
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 3: that's the Manning lore. I wonder, though, FITZI, how how

648
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 3: you feel about the idea that, say, okay, say they

649
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 3: lose to Florida by double digits, as they are on

650
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 3: track to do at this point, with Florida being an

651
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 3: underdog in the swamp at home and DJ Lagway you

652
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 3: talk about disappointing quarterback performances to this point in the season,

653
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 3: DJ Lagway has been objectively awful too. Billion Napier is

654
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 3: fighting for his job every every week, it seems, and

655
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 3: is going to at least buy himself a little more

656
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 3: time or a little more grace with a win against

657
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 3: Texas should these results hold. But say Steve Sarkisian pulls

658
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 3: our commanding and puts him on the bench, do you

659
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 3: think and I don't know that sark would do this

660
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 3: as a means of self preservation, but don't you think

661
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 3: that puts a lot more attention on Steve Sarkisian M.

662
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: Yep, you're right, You're one thousand percent right, and that's

663
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna have to face some of this

664
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: play Like we all see what arts does well and

665
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: that that is not what this offense is running right now.

666
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: But speaking of things as a great the iHeartRadio I've

Speaker 1: But when we come back, huge developments in the UCLA

677
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: Penn State game. Penn State may not be left for

678
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,880

Speaker 1: fitz Buck Rising gonna join us again in just a

682
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: little bit, hanging out with you on a Fox Sports Saturday,

683
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: coming at your life from the Fox Sports radio studios.

684
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: We have got absolute chaos happening now in La Ucla,

685
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: if you're just tuning in, was up twenty seven to

686
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: seven at the half. It looked like it was gonna

687
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,719
Speaker 1: be fine. Ucla was up forty two to twenty eight,

688
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: which just a few minutes left to go in the game.

689
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 2: Ucla had the.

690
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: Opportunity to try and do their best to ice the game,

691
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: and they were unable to convert on a fourth and short,

692
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: which cave Penn State the ball back, and now with

693
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: thirty seven seconds left, Penn State on their own fourth

694
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: down trying to score is stuffed. Ucla is going to

695
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,919
Speaker 1: take down James Franklin and Penn State. Looks like there's

696
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: thirty seven seconds left on the clock. Penn State still

697
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: does have three timeouts left, so in theory they may

698
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: be able to touch the ball at math. I was

699
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: told there'll be no math, so I'll let them do

700
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: the math for me. But Drew Aller had a little

701
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: bit of a jet sweep option, held the ball and

702
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,439
Speaker 1: just got hammered behind the line of scrimmage. Ucla makes

703
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: a huge defensive stand in the red zone that keeps

704
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: Penn State out of the end zone, and it looks

705
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: like as of now again thirty seven seconds left, it

706
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: looks like Penn State is going to fall to UCLA.

707
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: At the same time, to get you quickly updated, Florida

708
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: is up twenty nine to fourteen with under four minutes

709
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: to go against Texas. Texas is driving. They are on

710
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: the doorstep of the endzone. I'll keep you updated with

711
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: what happens there, but there's a lot left and Alabama

712
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: is up twenty three to fourteen on Vandy. The funniest

713
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: part about this with Penn State is that the Josh

714
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: Pate said, and we've said on the show, I think

715
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: a couple of times that maybe Penn State is the

716
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: most and Josh James Franklin is the most appropriately rated

717
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: head coach in college football because he wins the games

718
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: he's supposed to win, and he loses the games he's

719
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 1: supposed to lose. So if you don't go in with sweeping,

720
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: huge expectations of madness and chaos from him, then you

721
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: get about what you expect from You're gonna win ten games,

722
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose two, and you're gonna go to the

723
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: college Football Playoff. Most of the time, that is the

724
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: space that Penn State fans live in. But that's not

725
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: the space anymore. They lose this game, they will have

726
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: taken their second loss of the season, and they'll be

727
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: taking a second loss by way of a team that

728
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: some would say is the worst in college football through

729
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: the first month of the season. I don't think that's

730
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: an exaggeration. And a team because most of you aren't

731
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 1: paying attention to UCLA, a team that fired their coach,

732
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: and when they fired their coach, their offensive coordinators like, nah,

733
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: I'm good, they made a change of defensive coordinator, like

734
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: everybody on that coaching staff is different. So UCLA, which

735
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: came in with some expectations, and Niko Yamiliava, the quarterback

736
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: that transferred Tennessee, came in with some expectations, right, and

737
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: so there was some thought that, you know what, there'll

738
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: be an opportunity to at least have a pretty decent season,

739
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: and that went so wildly off the rails in the

740
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: first month that it looked like the worst we've ever

741
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: seen UCLA football. Think about that. So the worst version

742
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: in the history of UCLA football, in the eyes of

743
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: many the absolute joke of a program is what they

744
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: were considered twenty four hours ago. Now, with thirty seconds

745
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: to go, Penn State has one time out left, third

746
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: and eleven. They're beating Penn State forty two to thirty five.

747
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: That's stunning, That is absolutely stunning for this egg to

748
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: be laid by this team because what Penn State is done,

749
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:17,720
Speaker 1: at the very least, at the very least, Penn State

750
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 1: has eliminated any wiggle room for the rest of the year.

751
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: If you want to be gloriously hopeful, if you're a

752
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: Penn State fan and you're saying, you know what doesn't matter,

753
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: we can still get into the college football playoffs, you

754
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: got no wiggle room, and I mean none. So now

755
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: remembering that you have to go to Ohio State, who's

756
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: number one, and you have to take on Indiana, who's

757
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: currently a top ten team. So at this point, you

758
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: got no wiggle room, You've got no area. You are

759
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: now in the playoffs. If you're James Franklin, your playoffs

760
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: start tomorrow because you've got to find a way to

761
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: get your way into this thing. When man, there's so

762
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: little room for error, and I don't even know that

763
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: there's room for just winning games. I think you're gonna

764
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: have to win with the eye test all over this

765
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: thing too. And that's man, that's just suffocating. That is

766
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: suffocating for Penn State. It looked like Texas, who, by

767
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: the way, scored a touchdown. Texas scores a touchdown and

768
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: makes an eight point game. It's twenty nine to twenty one.

769
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: I think Florida was expecting and onside kicking instead a

770
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: little squid that they almost turn the ball over on.

771
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 1: So now Florida is backed up against it and Texas

772
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: is still in this game. Don't sleep now. There's a

773
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: little over three minutes to go, and Texas is gonna

774
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: try and get this football back if they can. If

775
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: they can get this football back, they will still have

776
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: a shot at it. So we'll see how that game

777
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: plays out. This is such a wild, wild week because

778
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: I feel like everything I was certain of last week

779
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: when I told you, hey, one game doesn't really matter,

780
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: one game isn't really that important, I told you all

781
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: of those things, and then we have a week like today,

782
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: week like today where suddenly you realize that you just

783
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: you can't you can't predict where this is going to go.

784
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: And I think one of the biggest surprises to me

785
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: is still that college football players can come out in

786
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: this modern climate and lay this sort of an egg,

787
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 1: Because if I know it, and you note, and fans note,

788
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: and boosters not and coaches know it. Man, I know

789
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 1: they're kids, and that's what everybody has said for generation.

790
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,439
Speaker 1: They're kids, right, kids have letdown games. You're right, They're

791
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:34,760
Speaker 1: not kids anymore. They're business people, right. The modern college athlete,

792
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: modern college football player, most programs is making a hefty

793
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: check of some sort to go out and play football.

794
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 1: So I think with some of that, some of the

795
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:48,760
Speaker 1: grace disappears. And as the grace disappears, man, the ability

796
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: to understand how you can come out and lay this

797
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: sort of an egg disappears with it. I don't know

798
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: what the answer is on trying to lock a team

799
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: in and get a team to focus, but for Penn State,

800
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: coming off of the low Oregon to be this unfocused

801
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:06,399
Speaker 1: against UCLA is absolutely inexcusable and I'm not sure their

802
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: season isn't changed forever because of this one. We'll keep

803
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: updating you on the rest of the results, plus the

804
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: accident Alabama. Next, you're listening to Fox Sports Radio radio.

805
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: Down goes Penn State could be down goes Texas, and

806
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: Alabama keeps rolling. It has been a wild Saturday in

807
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: college football. It's bucking fits on Fox Sports Radio. I'm

808
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 1: Jason fitzbuck Rising, going to join us in just.

809
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 2: A little bit.

810
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt holding on for dear life, trying to find a

811
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: way to convert and keep the football as they are

812
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: trailing twenty three to fourteen with a minute eighteen to go.

813
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: So this game is basically all butt done for Vanderbilt

814
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: at this point, UCLA pulls off the massive upset. It's

815
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: just been a stunning, staggering day. It has been a

816
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: wild day for college football across the board. We'll get

817
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: into more college football a little bit, but college football

818
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 1: is not the only place that has drama. I don't

819
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: know if you guys have been paying attention, but the

820
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,919
Speaker 1: Eagles are undefeated, and despite the fact that the Philadelphia

821
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: Eagles are undefeated, it sounds like there's panic happening everywhere

822
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 1: because Eagles superstar wide receivers aren't happy. What do you

823
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: do when you're winning but the way you're winning just

824
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: doesn't look right? And this is a tough question to

825
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: answer because We've given a lot of grace for the

826
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: last three years, at least the last two years to

827
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs because frankly, it hasn't looked right.

828
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 2: But they won football games, right, So you turn around

829
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:35,720
Speaker 2: and say.

830
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: Hey, I don't really care. I don't really care as

831
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: long as they win. And that's the mentality so many

832
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 1: of us have. That's an easy mentality to talk about,

833
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: I don't really care as long as we win. That's

834
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: an easy mentality to think about for all of us

835
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: from the outside. Hey, look, as long as you're four

836
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: and zero, does it matter how you got there.

837
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 2: But imagine being one of the guys on that team.

838
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: It just feels like your offense is sputtering doing things well,

839
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,240
Speaker 1: you could be helping and you just don't have that chance.

840
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,879
Speaker 1: Because that's I think the most representative truth of what's

841
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 1: going on in Philadelphia right now.

842
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 2: Like we are sitting here talking about the.

843
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: Eagles undefeated, like, you know, hey, they're running the football, well,

844
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter that they're not passing. That's not true.

845
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,720
Speaker 1: The Eagles aren't particularly running the football well. The Eagles

846
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,959
Speaker 1: had thirty three yards of total offense in the second

847
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: half of their last game thirty three yards. They were

848
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 1: over eight throwing the football, but they had thirty three yards.

849
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: Saquon hasn't really gotten on track yet. Average is just

850
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: over three yards to carry. It has not been the

851
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: Saquon that we're used to. Nothing has really looked comfortable

852
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: for the Eagles offensively. But you're four and o. So

853
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: at what point do we care about the math? Do

854
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: we only care about getting the questions right? Or do

855
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,879
Speaker 1: we care at all about the process? And I think

856
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: we have to care about the process sometimes because the

857
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: process educates us for what to.

858
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 2: Better expect throughout the course of the year.

859
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: If we simply look at the results, then there would

860
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: never be analysis necessary on anything, right. And we all

861
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: remember a few years ago when you what we see

862
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: we saw I think it was the Giants that won

863
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: ten games, and it was like, oh yeah, but we

864
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: knew they weren't good, right. You see this all the time.

865
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 1: You see teams that win games and you know they're

866
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: not good. Now, the Eagles aren't that because they have

867
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: championship DNA, and we know how good that coaching staff is,

868
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: we know how much talent they have. Howie Roseman has

869
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: built the best roster in the NFL. So when you

870
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: think about it that way, it makes absolutely no sense

871
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:27,240
Speaker 1: for them to be issues.

872
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 2: But when you have aj Brown and DeVonta Smith, and

873
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 2: according to.

874
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 1: Diana Rassini and others, you have grumbling in the locker

875
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: room about the way they're being used, particularly in the

876
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: red zone, what you have are guys that are saying, hey,

877
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: we watch the film every day like the for the

878
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: rest of us that are just sitting there watching it,

879
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: we watch a game for three and a half hours.

880
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,720
Speaker 2: It's one of the craziest things about fandom.

881
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: We watch a game for three and a half hours,

882
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: and we make every sweeping generalation generalization from that of

883
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: what we think. We're not in meetings, we're not in practice.

884
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: In fact, even things that we all rely on, like

885
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,399
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus, they're kind of funny because we don't

886
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: know the assignments. And whenever somebody says, well, you don't

887
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: know the assignments, people laugh at that. All right, Well,

888
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 1: of course we don't know the assignments, you know, but

889
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: those are the things that you really can't know. And

890
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: so if you're Aja and your Davante, you're looking around

891
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: and you're saying, man, we're watching the film every day,

892
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: we're practice every day, we're in meetings every day.

893
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:30,919
Speaker 2: We are working on these things.

894
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 1: Tirelessly all the time, and in the process of working

895
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 1: on it, then none of it translates to Sunday. So

896
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 1: how do you manage it when, frankly, you've gotten to

897
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: that point because you have some of the best talent

898
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: in the world and they know they're some of the

899
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: best talent in the world. The word ego, I think

900
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: is gotten the wrong connotation in society over the course

901
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 1: of the last few years.

902
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 2: People think of ego as a bad thing.

903
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: I don't. I think if ego can be earned, I

904
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: think it's it's okay to be wildly confident in what

905
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 1: you do in a way that some people perceive as ego.

906
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 2: Now.

907
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 1: I believe in grace and humility overall, but I think

908
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: that the concept that Nick Saban would believe when he

909
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: walks onto the sideline that he's a better coach than

910
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: you are comes from somewhere. We could see that as ego.

911
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 2: I see that as confidence, but it's talked about like

912
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 2: it's ego.

913
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:26,720
Speaker 1: If youre aj, if you're DeVante, you walk into every

914
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: single week knowing that the team you're facing pulls up

915
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: film on you, and they focus on you. My longtime

916
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: brother from another mother, Harry Douglas, used to always say

917
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:43,399
Speaker 1: that day one of installations are for game wreckers. So,

918
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: no matter what you do and whatever team you're on,

919
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,839
Speaker 1: day one of installations of practice is focusing on who

920
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: are the guys that can wreck our game plan. Ego

921
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: has got a lot of them. They have a ton

922
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 1: of game wreckers, right, not the least of which, not

923
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: the least of which are aj Brown and Smith. So

924
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: now you have two game wrecords that know that the

925
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: team that they're facing spent the first day of installation

926
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: focused just on how to try and slow them down,

927
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,280
Speaker 1: and then they get into a game and they can't execute.

928
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,399
Speaker 2: Imagine whatever you do, I don't care.

929
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 1: If you build cars. I don't care if you work

930
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: at a widget factory. I don't care if you make spreadsheets.

931
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,800
Speaker 1: Imagine if you spent all week getting ready for a presentation,

932
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: all week for a presentation, and you know that the

933
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 1: way your entire company is perceived in your job future

934
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 1: relies in some ways on that presentation, and then you

935
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 1: get all week, you get one shot of that presentation.

936
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,720
Speaker 1: No screw ups. You get one shot. Imagine if every

937
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: week everything that you worked on all week goes to

938
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 1: hell and suddenly the presentation is just awful. Now you

939
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: still get the client, you still get the business, you

940
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 1: still got what you wanted out of it. You want

941
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: to tell me that on Monday when you go to

942
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: the coffee room, when you're sitting around, when you're on

943
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 1: your zoom talking about it afterwards, you wouldn't be like, man,

944
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: we worked on that, what are we doing?

945
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 2: I think that's the element that sometimes gets lost.

946
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:08,280
Speaker 1: Like we hear aj Brown and Devincea Smith aren't happy,

947
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 1: there's panic, and immediately immediately people come to it's all

948
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: the ego of wide receivers. This is what it's all about.

949
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: Like they're chirping, they're talking, blah blah, blah blah blah.

950
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 2: That's what we do.

951
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 1: I look at it and say, isn't that human to

952
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: some degree? When do we forget that athletes are at

953
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: their core or just people? So if you are somebody

954
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: that genuinely believes you're one of the best in the world,

955
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 1: you are somebody that has seen proof of concept from

956
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: your peers that considered you to be one of the

957
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: best in the world. You work on something all week

958
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: that relies on everybody that works with around you on

959
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 1: your team to come out and execute, and then you

960
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: go out and do a game. You go out in

961
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 1: this case, in your presentation and it doesn't go well.

962
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: Does it matter if you got the business?

963
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 3: Yeah?

964
00:47:58,440 --> 00:47:59,879
Speaker 2: Does it take care of everything else?

965
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 3: No?

966
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean you all know my music background. I talk

967
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,280
Speaker 1: about it a lot. I can't imagine sitting in rehearsals

968
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,240
Speaker 1: all week and then going in to play the concert

969
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: on Sunday and it sucks. And sure, maybe nobody asked

970
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 1: for a refund, maybe the song still goes to number one.

971
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 1: But man, you go to the bus that night You're like, man,

972
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 1: this doesn't feel good. What I do now. I sit

973
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: in front of a microphone for a living, and I

974
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 1: take pride in the opportunity to sit in front of

975
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: a microphone for a living. It's an honor to get

976
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 1: to do it. I work really hard at it. I

977
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 1: try to watch as much as I can, and I

978
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: try to communicate as well as I can. I try

979
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 1: to really work on the craft of all of this.

980
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 1: Imagine if every time Buck and I came in to

981
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 1: do a show, well, the show wasn't very good. The

982
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: bosses are fine with it, but the show's not very good.

983
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: You think that wouldn't hit us. I just think at

984
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 1: some point it's okay for us to start emitting that

985
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: multiple things are true. Two things can be due to

986
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:53,320
Speaker 1: say it all the time.

987
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 2: The Philadelphia Eagles are undefeated. That is true.

988
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: The Philadelphia Eagles have talent that I trust. That is true.

989
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,840
Speaker 1: The Egles have coaches that I trust. That is true.

990
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 1: I believe that the Egos by the end of the

991
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,800
Speaker 1: year will look right. I think all of that is true.

992
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: And at the same time, I also think it's okay

993
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: to say that right now it doesn't look very good,

994
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: undefeated or not. It doesn't pass the eye test. So

995
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 1: some things have to get better. Imagine how much easier

996
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,240
Speaker 1: it would be to simply break down what we see

997
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: if we allowed multiple things to be true and we

998
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: stopped using our heart. One thing that is very true.

999
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 1: If you're like me and maybe you had a little

1000
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 1: bit of cash on Alabama. With the money, there was

1001
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: a trash touchdown at the end that helped you very

1002
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:38,799
Speaker 1: very much. Drinks around me tonight, Ian, I'm just saying, Nike,

1003
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:41,359
Speaker 1: you know we don't usually break it for blowouts, but

1004
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: it turned into a game that was a three point

1005
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: game for much of it. Alabama gets a junk touchdown

1006
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: at the very end that didn't matter to anybody unless

1007
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 1: you happen to pay attention to the spread because they

1008
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: were up twenty three to fourteen at the time. They

1009
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: were favored by eleven and a half, So that touchdown

1010
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 1: helps Alabama. So if you happen to think that the

1011
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: tide we're gonna roll feeling pretty good right now, We'll

1012
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: get Bucks Rising, Buck Rising's thought. I'll learn how to

1013
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: say my co host name. We'll get his thoughts after.

1014
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 2: What you say you I said, no need. He's not

1015
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 2: here anyway, so that's fair.

1016
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:13,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair.

1017
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 2: Do I have to Can we? Can we call him

1018
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 2: something else? Like he's not listening right now, Mary Mack?

1019
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: Is there anything that is Should we should we bring

1020
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: him in in some sort of a weird way just

1021
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 1: to see if he catches the reference, because there's no

1022
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 1: way in hell he's listening to us right now.

1023
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,240
Speaker 2: No, let's just call him by his real first name, Andrew, Andrew.

1024
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 1: You know, I will call him Andrew Rising, and we'll

1025
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: see if he picks up on this, and if he

1026
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:35,439
Speaker 1: doesn't pick up on this, that means that he's such

1027
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: a bad teammate that he's sitting in his hotel room

1028
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 1: and choosing not to listen to his own radio show.

1029
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 1: I think that says something.

1030
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 2: Buckle'll join us next.

1031
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: We'll get his thoughts on the heartbreaking bandy lost and

1032
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 1: everything else that's happening right now across the landscape.

1033
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:48,359
Speaker 2: We'll do it next on Fox Sports Radio.

1045
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 1: fucking fits.

1046
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:37,760
Speaker 3: How you doing, buddy, There's no faster way to rattle

1047
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 3: me than using my government thing.

1048
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:44,720
Speaker 1: My god, Oh, that's amazing, but also a fine because

1049
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 1: here's the thing. We asked that in the last segment,

1050
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 1: and we decided we were going to bring you in

1051
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: as such. I knew it would rattle you, and I said,

1052
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: if it didn't, then that meant that you were listening

1053
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: to the show like a good co host, even though

1054
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: you were sitting there. It meant you had us on

1055
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 1: in the app and you were just you know, listening

1056
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,240
Speaker 1: to me wax on about the philadelph Eagles and enjoying

1057
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 1: all of that. And instead we find out that you're

1058
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 1: over there, probably in a bathroom, probably with slippers on,

1059
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,720
Speaker 1: and very little attention being paid to the opening segment.

1060
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:10,760
Speaker 1: What say you, Buck Rising?

1061
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 3: I'd say that the invention of the app weed maps

1062
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 3: has me a bit distracted.

1063
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: That's amazing. This is amazing, Yeah, Andrew Rising, Andrew Rising

1064
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 1: for the duration of the segment. That is just what's

1065
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: what's going to happen? By the way, are we eating

1066
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: popcorn there in air Zona? We like, we got our

1067
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 1: feed up? What do we how are feeling now that

1068
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 1: Vandy has taken the l we all saw it. As

1069
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: I mentioned at the end of the last segment, I

1070
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: may or may not have placed a bet thinking that

1071
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 1: Alabama would roll big, so that trash touchdown at the

1072
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 1: end it helped my Draftking Sports book. Be sure to

Speaker 3: I thought that Alabama would pull away, but I thought

1080
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,280
Speaker 3: it would be by a wider margin. So I lost

1081
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 3: my bet and Bandy lost, So I have nothing. My

1082
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 3: football team that I cover for a living stinks. Vanderbilt

1083
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 3: was the last gasp of hope that the city of

1084
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 3: Nashville have. Actually, that's not for Nashville sc for those

1085
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 3: of them who are MLS fans in the audience, won

1086
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,359
Speaker 3: the US Open Cup this week, so that was at

1087
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 3: least some level of soothing for a city that has

1088
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 3: been honestly in sports hell for basically my entire career.

1089
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 3: There going on ten years, so maybe it's maybe it's me.

1090
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 3: It's like Taylor Swift not quite the new album, but

1091
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 3: I'm the problem, it's me. I don't know. For VANDID

1092
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 3: there are no moral victories. They had the opportunity. The

1093
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 3: thing is fitty. I think that a loss like that

1094
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:49,240
Speaker 3: hurts worse. And I'm sure we're going to talk about

1095
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 3: Penn Steak getting upset at some point as well. A

1096
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,839
Speaker 3: loss like the one that Vanderbilt just experienced hurts worse.

1097
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 3: Not because it knocks them out of college football playoff contention,

1098
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 3: which to their credit, they still have the opportunity yet,

1099
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:05,839
Speaker 3: but because you shot yourself in the foot, you had opportunities,

1100
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 3: you turned the ball over. You were competitive in that

1101
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:12,720
Speaker 3: game until the very last, and only did the margin

1102
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 3: of defeat look greater because at the end of the

1103
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 3: game Alabama blows a wide open ty Simpson is not

1104
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 3: getting enough discussion as the best quarterback college football quarterback

1105
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 3: in the country right now. I mean, to his credit,

1106
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 3: he has been excellent, excellent, excellent, and I know the

1107
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 3: quality of their competition beyond Georgia has been questionable. As

1108
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 3: they worked their way through the early part of their schedule,

1109
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:37,320
Speaker 3: but I don't you know, nobody's going to declare Alabama

1110
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 3: back or back to what we believe that they their

1111
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 3: pedigree at the top of college football deserves, because I

1112
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:46,720
Speaker 3: don't know that anybody is going to rule the roofs

1113
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:48,839
Speaker 3: that way in the modern game, the way that Nick

1114
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 3: Saban's teams did. But damn, just Ty Simpson, Martin Tennessee

1115
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 3: product has not looked every bit the part of Heisman

1116
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 3: Trophy contender. Now.

1117
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 1: I think that's probably a pretty fair comment to because

1118
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: we're still waiting for one of these quarterbacks to really

1119
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 1: stand out right like. And that's interesting in and of

1120
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:10,799
Speaker 1: itself because we talked earlier about the about in the

1121
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: show about being so wrong about Arch and I think

1122
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: that's fair.

1123
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:17,399
Speaker 2: I will remind everybody when I was covering the.

1124
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: Draft for Yahoo this year, the number of people that said, Nope, nope, nope,

1125
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: skip this draft class because next year's draft class is

1126
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 1: going to be great. And that was predicated on the

1127
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 1: concept of guys like Garrett nus Meyer, who's been battling

1128
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:34,880
Speaker 1: injury and hasn't necessarily separated himself. Drew Aller, who is

1129
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 1: fine in a Penn State lost to him, but fine,

1130
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 1: so far this year, arch Manning, you know, we all

1131
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 1: know that not not particularly playing well.

1132
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 2: To say it nicely, I said earlier, I'll stand by it.

1133
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: He sucks. And then you know what, Fernando Mendoza, the

1134
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 1: Indiana quarterback who is in an Indiana offense, not a

1135
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: lot of people pay attention to, Like these were supposed

1136
00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 1: to be world beating quarterbacks that you know, cover the

1137
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:02,719
Speaker 1: Titans feet and there were plenty of people that were saying, no, no, no,

1138
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,399
Speaker 1: don't take Cam, wait till next year. Well that looks

1139
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 1: pretty acidine right now because none of these quarterbacks look

1140
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 1: like they're separating in any real way.

1141
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:14,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's the you know, I always I hate

1142
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:18,840
Speaker 3: the way that we do the quarterback evaluation in college,

1143
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 3: or at least the quarterback discussion in college before the

1144
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:26,439
Speaker 3: season actually begins, because we have I mean, time after

1145
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 3: time FITSI as a collective sports media profession stepped in

1146
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 3: it with things like Spencer Rattler preseason consensus number one

1147
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 3: overall pick to bench. As we've talked about whether it

1148
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:41,919
Speaker 3: be arch Manning and the hype around him, I don't

1149
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 3: think anybody was talking about I don't think there was

1150
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:48,360
Speaker 3: a single solitary soul talking about cam Ward out of

1151
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 3: Miami as the number one overall pick heading into last

1152
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 3: seasons college football. In fact, Shador was probably getting more

1153
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 3: it's certainly more dialogue around him than cam was. And

1154
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 3: I think there was some conversation to be had there

1155
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:05,479
Speaker 3: about the chaudor having the talent but maybe not quite

1156
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 3: the full complement of skill set to be a higher

1157
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 3: drafted player. And we don't have to even I hesitate

1158
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 3: to even mention his name for fear that you'll plunge

1159
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 3: us into a Shadeur Sanders conversation. Uh, the boy that's

1160
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:22,440
Speaker 3: been had all over the Yes, you would. You absolutely

1161
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 3: would do that, especially when you know that I'm vulnerable

1162
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 3: about it at this point in time. I think that

1163
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 3: I think.

1164
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 1: So you're telling me you think Shud should be the

1165
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 1: starting quarterback of the Titans.

1166
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 2: Somebody cliped that put it out there. We go ton,

1167
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 2: thank you.

1168
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 3: You know, I'll tell you this right now. I wish

1169
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 3: the Titans would have traded the number one overall pick

1170
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 3: for campboard sake, because they're going to ruin him. But

1171
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 3: that's a conversation that we had for another day, probably

1172
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 3: probably more a local conversation than national, because I'm sure

1173
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 3: the audience on Fox Sports doesn't want to hear about

1174
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 3: the oh and four soon to be oh and five

1175
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 3: Tennessee Damn Titans at this point. God knows, I don't anymore,

1176
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 3: but this is this is a perpetual frustration with quarterback evaluation,

1177
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 3: or a least quarterback hyped heading into a college football season.

1178
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 3: Just let the games play out before we have to

1179
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 3: come after with all of these strong opinions about who

1180
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 3: will be what before they played.

1181
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the toughest parts about all

1182
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 1: of it is I like to be very very real.

1183
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: You and I are sitting in front of microphones, and

1184
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: we get paid to talk about sports.

1185
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 2: Around We're very lucky to do that.

1186
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 1: I think that days like today remind me that most

1187
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 1: of our June conversations about what we expect in the

1188
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 1: football season are meaningless, Like they just are. Like if

1189
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 1: you think about how much time we spent this summer

1190
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:36,919
Speaker 1: across all TV landscapes and radio stations talking even about

1191
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 1: the NFL and everything we were sure of in the NFL, well,

1192
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 1: certainly you know you would. If how what's the best

1193
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:46,479
Speaker 1: division in the NFL, Well, it's the AFC North because

1194
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens are going to be so good and the

1195
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 1: Bengals are going to be so good, and you know,

1196
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 1: if the Browns can figure out this quarterback thing, and

1197
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 1: then the Steeler and now look at that division.

1198
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 2: It's a bunch of hot garbage. It's trash, it's terrible, right.

1199
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 1: So it's just all this time that we spend just

1200
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 1: trying to imagine things in June is just it's completely wasted.

1201
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 1: I know that's a deep philosophical thing for considering. People

1202
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 1: are driving around to the car and they listen to

1203
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 1: us all the time, which is an honor.

1204
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 2: To get to have that opportunity.

1205
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 1: But these are the moments where it's like, man, you

1206
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 1: all nobody wants to hear this, but you kind of

1207
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 1: got to let the games play out before we really

1208
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 1: know who's any good and who's not.

1209
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 3: Ian I assume that at some point before we just

1210
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 3: made it to this point in the show that Fitzi

1211
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 3: has talked about something that we do for a living

1212
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 3: as meaningless or is an hour and a half into

1213
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 3: the show, the first time that he has brought up

1214
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 3: the subject of something being meaningless.

1215
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, Ian will back

1216
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 1: me up on this. I actually called myself out for

1217
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: last week saying that Saturdays have no meaning because the

1218
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 1: way the college football game is structured.

1219
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 2: And now I'm today had tremendous meeting right.

1220
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 1: Eat right in I'm growing true.

1221
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 2: You almost called me andy there?

1222
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 3: What the.

1223
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 1: It was just a misspeak, like my tongue was at

1224
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 1: the top of my mouth. Okay, fine, all right, I

1225
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 1: got fine. Well, I showed up to work today and

1226
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 1: I got fined. How does that happen? Buck?

1227
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 3: I showed up. I tried to show up. God, no,

1228
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 3: I would spend my time in Mesa, Arizona best by

1229
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 3: trying to show up the work. Don't you put this

1230
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 3: on me, Ricky, Bobby, I.

1231
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 1: Mean Mesa, Arizona getting a shout out to the best

1232
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:22,440
Speaker 1: pie there that nobody expected that to nobody expected that

1233
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:22,800
Speaker 1: to happen.

1234
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:26,600
Speaker 2: No, it's it's just it's wild to me.

1235
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 1: This season has turned out so much different, and I

1236
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 1: think this just speaks to what I love more than

1237
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 1: ever about the way these are going to go. Like

1238
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: I do think, and we've talked about this before, Buck,

1239
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 1: but I think the coolest thing about college football right

1240
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 1: now is nobody has a damn clue.

1241
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 2: That is what's awesome about it.

1242
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 1: Like I today, I don't know that I can tell

1243
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 1: anybody that we won't have a three three lost team

1244
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I don't know that because the way

1245
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 1: everybody else is picking up losses. Can we really say

1246
01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 1: definitively right now that there won't be an at large

1247
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 1: team with three losses that everybody looks around and says, yeah,

1248
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 1: And that's just the way the college football world works now,

1249
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 1: and you're still going to get in.

1250
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:10,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, I mean at a certain point, I'm sure

1251
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 3: we're going to trend the way that the NCAA is

1252
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 3: already on the college basketball where we're gonna have seventy

1253
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 3: two teams in the college football playoff before long with

1254
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 3: what they're trying to how they're trying to mangle my boy,

1255
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 3: my beloved March madness. Is college basketball creeps up on

1256
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 3: us in the middle of the football season, I'm sure

1257
01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 3: it will all be watered down before long, and every

1258
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 3: team we'll get into the playoffs.

1259

1295
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:13,000
Speaker 6: eight yards and three touchdowns. Did a little bit of everything.

1296
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 6: Arch Manning did not do a little bit of everything,

1297
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 6: which is why number nine Texas lost to Florida twenty

1298
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 6: nine to twenty one. But DJ Lagway threw for a

Speaker 1: would you say, then, Buck Rising, As we go through

1341
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 1: a weird day in college football at this point, do

1342
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:22,080
Speaker 1: you believe that Alabama is a college football playoff team

1343
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:23,920
Speaker 1: based on what we know today?

1344
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:29,440
Speaker 3: Do I believe Alabama to be a college football playoff

1345
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:31,480
Speaker 3: team based on what we know today? Yeah? I mean,

1346
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 3: they're certainly one of the best twelve teams in the country.

1347
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 3: I know things are muddled, and I understand that there

1348
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 3: is reason to doubt them for the way that they

1349
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 3: got hit in the mouth early in the season. And

1350
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 3: we'll see Florida State, as you mentioned tonight against Miami.

1351
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 3: That should be a highly competitive game. I hate I

1352
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 3: love it for Virginia, the Virginia one last Friday because

1353
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:54,880
Speaker 3: just the spectacle that was and that got Squirrel white

1354
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 3: is okay. As we talked about this week, the stay

1355
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:01,360
Speaker 3: wide receiver who abounding it inbud from Lion King and

1356
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 3: a wildeby stampede. That was the crowdstorming at Virginia's field.

1357
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:08,120
Speaker 3: But that would that matchup tonight would have had just

1358
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:10,240
Speaker 3: a tiny bit more juice, not that it needs. At

1359
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 3: Florida State been able to survive Virginia. Alabama is absolutely

1360
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 3: a college football playoff team, and you know, just to

1361
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:22,480
Speaker 3: pull up the rest of their schedule out of curiosity,

1362
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 3: I don't know how much more they're going to be

1363
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:30,600
Speaker 3: tested in the way that they have already been tested

1364
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:34,040
Speaker 3: and frankly fit seed the way that I like this

1365
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:38,120
Speaker 3: about championship caliber teams. Just looking at their schedule right now,

1366
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 3: They're at Missouri next, then they will have Tennessee in Tuscaloosa,

1367
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 3: which will be a fun and electric name. God knows

1368
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 3: that will come down to the wire at South Carolina,

1369
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 3: who has been disappointing LSU, Oklahoma, Eastern Illinois before they

1370
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 3: finish at Auburn for the Iron Bowl, So Tennessee for

1371
01:06:56,360 --> 01:07:00,320
Speaker 3: sure is their biggest test remaining Oklahoma. You know, State

1372
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 3: is the worst college football program I think going right now,

1373
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:05,320
Speaker 3: so I'm not overwhelmingly impressed by it. What was it

1374
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 3: monty forty four to nothing final for the Sooners at

1375
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:12,000
Speaker 3: this point in time, But I think that when you

1376
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:15,760
Speaker 3: look at the way that Alabama was tested early, right

1377
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 3: smacked in the mouth by Florida State, as we mentioned,

1378
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 3: questions about their finish, about their toughness, about their effort,

1379
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 3: and things like that being posed not just by pundits

1380
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:27,640
Speaker 3: like you and me, but by people around the sport,

1381
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 3: people who have played high level, competitive college football who

1382
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:34,040
Speaker 3: would be more qualified to question things like effort. I

1383
01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 3: love the way that they've responded since then, And it's

1384
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:39,440
Speaker 3: not just because they handled business against Vanderbilt, but that

1385
01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 3: Georgia game spoke of volumes to me, because Georgia is

1386
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 3: a good football team, Gunterstockton is playing quality football right

1387
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 3: now as the starter for them at quarterback, and to

1388
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 3: go on the road at Georgia and to still be

1389
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:55,480
Speaker 3: able to hold that over Georgia. Fans head in the

1390
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:57,600
Speaker 3: SEC where they are dealing with a little bit of

1391
01:07:57,600 --> 01:08:01,200
Speaker 3: PTSD post Nick Saban, but they're like, a maybe we'll

1392
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:03,440
Speaker 3: get one over this to poor guy. No, not so fast,

1393
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:07,960
Speaker 3: my friends, in truly corso fashion. So I don't know

1394
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:11,480
Speaker 3: how you could argue anything. But but again that Tennessee game,

1395
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:14,920
Speaker 3: both games at home Tennessee and Oklahoma, two ranked opponents

1396
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:17,519
Speaker 3: in LSU looking a bit no pun intended like paper

1397
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 3: tigers right now with some of their flaws. Their inability

1398
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:23,680
Speaker 3: to run the football on offenses is mind boggling to me.

1399
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:26,479
Speaker 3: That seems to be an issue for Brian Kelly's teams.

1400
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 3: Every year he's been at LSU, some part of their

1401
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:32,639
Speaker 3: team will just fail catastrophically in ways that you absolutely

1402
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 3: do not expect, whether it's the defense in the Jayden

1403
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:38,519
Speaker 3: Daniels year or now what you're dealing with as far

1404
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:40,800
Speaker 3: as the as far as the rushing attack goes or

1405
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 3: lack thereof the Tennessee at home Oklahoma at home that

1406
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 3: will further their resume. But I don't see why Alabama

1407
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:52,440
Speaker 3: wouldn't be decent favorites in both of those games.

1408
01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:54,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that's why, you know, as I

1409
01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:57,920
Speaker 1: posed it, you know, obviously losing the first.

1410
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:00,840
Speaker 2: Game of the year creates some issues with this. They've

1411
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:03,080
Speaker 2: gotten such significant wins.

1412
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 1: I think, you know, when you talk about Georgia and

1413
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 1: then the Committee's going to value Vanderbilt. There's no doubt

1414
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 1: about that in my mind. So now all of a

1415
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:11,680
Speaker 1: sudden you look at it and say, okay, Missouri, Tennessee,

1416
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 1: those are valuable opponents, presuming the wheels don't.

1417
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 3: Work well out way quickly, Fincy before before you go

1418
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:19,800
Speaker 3: on there, will the committee value Vanderbilt Because I don't

1419
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:22,800
Speaker 3: know what the answer to that question is. We we

1420
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:25,600
Speaker 3: are all impressed at to start that Vanderbilt has you know,

1421
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:28,599
Speaker 3: five and one now after the loss today, But I mean,

1422
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 3: this is this is a helmet logo conversation. Almost the

1423
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 3: AP is not valuing Vanderbilt sufficiently. That should have been

1424
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:37,960
Speaker 3: a top ten football team that just went down to

1425
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,760
Speaker 3: Tuscaloosa and competed the way that you would expect a

1426
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 3: top ten football team too. And yet they were ranked

1427
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:46,000
Speaker 3: sixteenth coming into this game, so I don't I don't

1428
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 3: know that that's a given they will They will carry value,

1429
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:51,000
Speaker 3: of course, and you know, should they continue to win

1430
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 3: and handle business, that that should remain the same. But

1431
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:55,240
Speaker 3: I don't know what the answer to that question is.

1432
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:58,360
Speaker 2: So I'll make the argument, did the APE voters.

1433
01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:02,519
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this gently as gently as I can,

1434
01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 1: because I know some maybe voters. When you are voting

1435
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 1: on who the best schools are in the country Sunday

1436
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 1: and you are supposed to have watched enough of all

1437
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 1: of the best teams in the country to make those

1438
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:21,320
Speaker 1: judgments all day Saturday, how the hell do you know?

1439
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:22,240
Speaker 3: Right?

1440
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:24,559
Speaker 2: So, like I think the APE pole is just flawed

1441
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:25,480
Speaker 2: in its construct.

1442
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 1: The voting should be done on Tuesday so that everybody

1443
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:30,160
Speaker 1: gets a couple of days to actually watch the games,

1444
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 1: because that doesn't happen. I think that the eight people

1445
01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:36,360
Speaker 1: poll is wildly flawed. The College Football Playoff Committee is

1446
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:39,240
Speaker 1: specifically told in their bylaws to consider game control as

1447
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:41,360
Speaker 1: a metric. So while we will see this as a

1448
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 1: thirty to fourteen game, what they will look at is

1449
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:47,559
Speaker 1: the fact that this game was twenty to fourteen with

1450
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:51,400
Speaker 1: what six minutes ago. So the game control will call

1451
01:10:51,439 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 1: this a much closer game to the committee than our

1452
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:57,200
Speaker 1: eyes will say. So that's why I think Vandy gets

1453
01:10:57,200 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 1: some love here, and you know, frankly, I will mention

1454
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 1: this guy. Look, Vandy's I don't think Vandy's gonna go

1455
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 1: to the College Football Playoff. They gave Alabama everything Alabama

1456
01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 1: can handle for most of that game. They have an

1457
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:11,880
Speaker 1: LSU team that I do think you're right is broken,

1458
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 1: a Missouri team that I don't think is all that great,

1459
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:16,400
Speaker 1: a Texas team that is going to fall down in

1460
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:19,719
Speaker 1: the rankings like that, there is still a very real

1461
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:23,840
Speaker 1: path to Vandy ending this year with two losses. Like

1462
01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:27,720
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of real for this Vandy team,

1463
01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:31,440
Speaker 1: which is which is shocking to say. But the Alabama

1464
01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:33,559
Speaker 1: portion of it is interesting because they've now picked up

1465
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:36,080
Speaker 1: back to back significant wins and they have enough left

1466
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:38,960
Speaker 1: on the resume. Like I think that's why if you're

1467
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 1: a Bama fan that wants to be able to say, hey,

1468
01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:44,160
Speaker 1: Alabama is back to being the nick Saban Alabama. I

1469
01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:46,519
Speaker 1: don't know that that will ever happen, but if your

1470
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:49,679
Speaker 1: intent is to be viewed as while we are truly

1471
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:52,760
Speaker 1: an elite team, Like I think maybe it's time to

1472
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:55,800
Speaker 1: take a little bit of the gasoline off of everything

1473
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:58,080
Speaker 1: that's around Kaitlin d Borr after this win, Like that's

1474
01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 1: two straight weeks that his team is come out and

1475
01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 1: just out execute it all the way down to the

1476
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:03,639
Speaker 1: wire against teams that.

1477
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:04,439
Speaker 2: Are very tough.

1478
01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:07,640
Speaker 3: Well, and this is this is why I bring up

1479
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:09,640
Speaker 3: the way that they started their season is because you

1480
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:11,280
Speaker 3: have to have a touch point. You you have to

1481
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:14,240
Speaker 3: be humbled, right, I think for any good team or

1482
01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:16,680
Speaker 3: any at least that you know in the lore of

1483
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:20,760
Speaker 3: championship caliber teams, whether they Alabama ends up winning a

1484
01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:24,360
Speaker 3: national championship under Tayln to Bor far too soon to say.

1485
01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:26,000
Speaker 3: We'll see what the field looks like and there'll be

1486
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:29,040
Speaker 3: discussions have once we get closer towards the college football

1487
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:32,960
Speaker 3: playoffs being set. But that that touch point of the

1488
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:36,519
Speaker 3: opener against Florida State and how Taylan de Boor was

1489
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:38,960
Speaker 3: going to find ways to rally his team and how

1490
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 3: he was going to have to deal with the incredible

1491
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:45,280
Speaker 3: amount of scrutiny that comes with that job where people

1492
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:48,160
Speaker 3: are being interviewed about the billion dollar powerball in one

1493
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:50,559
Speaker 3: of the Alabama One of the people in Alabama is

1494
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:52,600
Speaker 3: saying that she would use seventy million to pay the

1495
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:54,559
Speaker 3: bores buy out, get the hell, get him the hell

1496
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:56,479
Speaker 3: out of it, right, And that was like two weeks in.

1497
01:12:57,080 --> 01:13:00,479
Speaker 3: So this is one of those moments where you can

1498
01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:03,599
Speaker 3: either fold or respond as a coach, as a program,

1499
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 3: as a roster. And to Alabama's credit, You're not to

1500
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:09,400
Speaker 3: get too far ahead of ourselves, right because again, they

1501
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:12,720
Speaker 3: still do have quality opponents remaining on the schedule, and

1502
01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:14,880
Speaker 3: they will be tested and they will be pushed, and

1503
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:17,400
Speaker 3: they will have to show that they are up to

1504
01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:19,240
Speaker 3: the moment. You don't want to get too far ahead

1505
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:21,800
Speaker 3: of ourselves, even though it's tough not to with how

1506
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:25,320
Speaker 3: limited the sample sizes are in college football. I am

1507
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:30,040
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm just genuinely impressed so far. Continue to

1508
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:32,719
Speaker 3: prove it, right, That's that's my whole thing with Alabama.

1509
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:36,439
Speaker 3: Continue week by week, show us that you belong at

1510
01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:40,640
Speaker 3: the table this way rather than just Alabama deserves to

1511
01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:43,040
Speaker 3: be in the playoff conversation every year, year in and

1512
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:45,479
Speaker 3: year out because of what they've done. This is, this is,

1513
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 3: this is the new era of college football. Everything that

1514
01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 3: Alabama accomplished prior to the prior basically to the name,

1515
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:55,519
Speaker 3: image and likeness era. It doesn't matter to Kaylin de

1516
01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:58,040
Speaker 3: boor nor should it. It shouldn't matter to the Alabama

1517
01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:02,200
Speaker 3: fan base. This is a new next Jen Alabama Crimson Tide,

1518
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:05,320
Speaker 3: and do you belong in this new environment? Can you

1519
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:07,800
Speaker 3: hang in this new environment? And can you prove that

1520
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:10,559
Speaker 3: you're better across the board in a variety of different

1521
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:12,760
Speaker 3: fronts than a lot of these teams who will have

1522
01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:14,920
Speaker 3: leveled the playing field with you, A lot of these

1523
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:17,640
Speaker 3: programs who will have leveled the playing field, whether it

1524
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:19,919
Speaker 3: be resources, talent acquisition, or otherwise.

1525
01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:23,640

01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:53,439
Speaker 1: comes at you next? Welcome back to Bucking Fits on

1537
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:56,800
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Florida State Miami about to get underway.

1538
01:14:57,840 --> 01:14:59,720
Speaker 2: What is a wild day? Just has to have a

1539
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:00,439
Speaker 2: while ending.

1540
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 1: It just feels like there has to be a wild

1541
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:05,479
Speaker 1: ending to the college football day, no matter what if

1542
01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:08,080
Speaker 1: you're just tuning in. Ucla took down Penn State the

1543
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:11,879
Speaker 1: most shocking result of the day. Florida also upset Texas,

1544
01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 1: So we will see a wildly different ap pole tomorrow.

1545
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:18,120
Speaker 1: When we get this thing going. We will see massive

1546
01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:21,679
Speaker 1: change in and across college football. And then of course

1547
01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:25,160
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball, Milwaukee took down the Cubs. The

1548
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:28,720
Speaker 1: Toronto Blue Jays just absolutely smoked the Yankees in my

1549
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:31,080
Speaker 1: bank account, all at once. And the Phillies are up

1550
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:33,200
Speaker 1: three nothing on the Dodgers at the end of the fourth.

1551
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:36,439
Speaker 1: So so hey not exactly having the beginning of this

1552
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:40,080
Speaker 1: series that most of us expected he would have ian

1553
01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:43,639
Speaker 1: even without Buck. We will still do this because it's

1554
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 1: just part of what we do. It's time for wold

1555
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:49,800
Speaker 1: you rather rather? There we go?

1556
01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:51,879
Speaker 2: We had had to keep it going. It was good,

1557
01:15:52,160 --> 01:15:52,519
Speaker 2: all right?

1558
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it wouldn't be a proper bucking Fits

1559
01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:59,439
Speaker 7: show without improperly timed Would.

1560
01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:02,080
Speaker 1: You rather there's delays? Okay, people don't know it's like that,

1561
01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:04,720
Speaker 1: Like you and I have a little delay because we're

1562
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:06,800
Speaker 1: in different cities. Like, it's not our fault, we were

1563
01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:07,400
Speaker 1: doing our best.

1564
01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:10,519
Speaker 7: Proposely did the delay there? That's the difference. I'm glad

1565
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:12,759
Speaker 7: to keep it anyway. All right, let's go ahead.

1566
01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:16,320
Speaker 1: And spend the week. Oh god, that's painful, all right? Fits.

1567
01:16:16,320 --> 01:16:19,799
Speaker 7: Would you rather every handshake you give last two seconds

1568
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:23,360
Speaker 7: too long, or every high five miss slightly off target?

1569
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:28,000
Speaker 1: Oh no, no that situation. No okay, so one hundred percent,

1570
01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:31,400
Speaker 1: this isn't even close. There is nothing worse than a

1571
01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 1: bad high five, because then I'm wondering if I screwed

1572
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:37,280
Speaker 1: it up, like the handshake that lingers too much? Now,

1573
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:39,640
Speaker 1: just got a creepy person, right like, so you know,

1574
01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:42,559
Speaker 1: it's that's fine, You're just you're weird you hold a

1575
01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:45,679
Speaker 1: handshake too long. I would also rather have a weirdly

1576
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 1: long handshake than a weirdly like just limp wet handshake.

1577
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:53,200
Speaker 1: Those are gross so for me, even though the weirdly

1578
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:55,320
Speaker 1: long handed like when if you and I have a

1579
01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:56,519
Speaker 1: handshake and it's going too long.

1580
01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:58,680
Speaker 2: The first thing I'm doing, I'm not letting go. I'm

1581
01:16:58,680 --> 01:16:59,920
Speaker 2: making eye contact.

1582
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:02,680
Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna gaze into your soul right through your

1583
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:05,720
Speaker 1: eyes so that you understand it. Hey, I am not

1584
01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:07,799
Speaker 1: backing down from this extra long handshake.

1585
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:10,000
Speaker 2: I will take that all day. If you high five and.

1586
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:12,200
Speaker 1: You miss it now all of a sudden, I'm afraid

1587
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:14,760
Speaker 1: immediately that you're going to think that I screwed up

1588
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:16,920
Speaker 1: the high five, and then you're gonna tell everybody that

1589
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:19,680
Speaker 1: I'm an incompetent high fiver. So you know, yes, and

1590
01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:22,000
Speaker 1: for anyone that doesn't know you, you look at the elbows,

1591
01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 1: you just lock up the elbows and then you high five.

1592
01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:26,360
Speaker 1: And that's you know, what you have to do when

1593
01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:28,439
Speaker 1: you're middle aged and white, not very athletic, Like we

1594
01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:30,400
Speaker 1: all have to just like make sure that we lock

1595
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 1: up elbows so that we get the high fives spot on.

1596
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:35,680
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, like, this is this is, this is

1597
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:36,559
Speaker 2: the problem my people have.

1598
01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:39,120
Speaker 1: I can't help it.

1599
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:40,280
Speaker 2: Ian had nothing on that.

1600
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:42,160
Speaker 1: He just stayed way away from that.

1601
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:42,720
Speaker 5: Well.

1602
01:17:42,760 --> 01:17:44,639
Speaker 7: I mean, I was actually gonna let you get away

1603
01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:47,040
Speaker 7: with the fact that you explained a handshake as loose

1604
01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:50,080
Speaker 7: and wet, like no, what that means?

1605
01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:52,960
Speaker 1: Oh, we all know, like the person that like only

1606
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:56,120
Speaker 1: gives you a few fingers and then you're like loose, yeah,

1607
01:17:56,160 --> 01:17:58,120
Speaker 1: the loose and then the wet part is like it's

1608
01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:00,640
Speaker 1: it's that weird, Like is it is that sweat? Or

1609
01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 1: did you just wash your hands? Or even worse, did

1610
01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:05,519
Speaker 1: you not wash your hands? In your hands are kind

1611
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:08,519
Speaker 1: of just goofy, like what are we doing?

1612
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:10,640
Speaker 2: Okay, that's absolutely disgusting.

1613
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:14,760
Speaker 1: Loosewat and goofy. There we go, name my next albu

1614
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:16,120
Speaker 1: and landed on this?

1615
01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:19,160
Speaker 7: Would you rather be able to teleport but only to

1616
01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:22,639
Speaker 7: places you've gotten lost in? Or be able to fly

1617
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:24,800
Speaker 7: but only as fast as you're able to walk?

1618
01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:26,240
Speaker 3: Oh?

1619
01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 1: Flying as fast as I can be able to walk.

1620
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:30,680
Speaker 1: I kind of like because I can taunt you. I

1621
01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:32,880
Speaker 1: can taunt you while I'm flying, right, And the whole

1622
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:34,880
Speaker 1: time I'd be like I'm flying like Mary Mack and

1623
01:18:34,920 --> 01:18:37,280
Speaker 1: I would be on the plane flying over Buck and

1624
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:39,639
Speaker 1: we would let him know that he doesn't get the seat. Plus,

1625
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:41,479
Speaker 1: like do I still get the accouterments and flying?

1626
01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:41,600
Speaker 3: Like?

1627
01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 1: Do I get like the snacks, the peanuts and the drinks? Like,

1628
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:47,120
Speaker 1: I'm all in on that. Like so the peanuts, Yeah,

1629
01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:49,840
Speaker 1: I eat the peanuts, peanuts, I eat all of it.

1630
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 1: So I mean, look, the minute somebody hands me free food,

1631
01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:57,760
Speaker 1: like I it's the reason that I tried to go

1632
01:18:57,800 --> 01:18:59,439
Speaker 1: to Costco on the days that they don't have the

1633
01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:01,519
Speaker 1: free sample, because I just can't pass on free food.

1634
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 1: Like the poor kid in me cannot pass on free food.

1635
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 1: I would much rather be able to fly. It must

1636
01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:07,600
Speaker 1: be able to fly. He ain't got Can you just

1637
01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:09,360
Speaker 1: give me one more? Or no, you think you can

1638
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:09,920
Speaker 1: see he's one.

1639
01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:12,160
Speaker 7: I'll read one right off the wheel here. So every

1640
01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:15,320
Speaker 7: would you rather every song you hear get stuck in

1641
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:17,439
Speaker 7: your head for exactly twenty four hours you have no

1642
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:21,280
Speaker 7: choice about it, or have a very uncommonly hard time

1643
01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:22,719
Speaker 7: memorizing lyrics to songs.

1644
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:26,200
Speaker 1: I could not remember my lyrics to my own songs.

1645
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:28,559
Speaker 1: That's true. When I played live, I always screwed up

1646
01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:31,040
Speaker 1: my own lyrics. So I'm used to that. So I'll

1647
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:33,280
Speaker 1: take that. We'll be back next week's take with Fox

1648
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:34,679
Speaker 1: Sports Radio All Night Long.
