That crazy. 79 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 5: That is pretty crazy, and it doesn't hurt his eligibility, 80 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 5: not one bit for him to all get there, start 81 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 5: working out. 82 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: And be in the mix of it.

Speaking of major. 100 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 5: Ball, we talked about Dan Campbell and this Detroit Lions team. 101 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 5: They go for it on fourth down and short plex 102 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 5: over the Packers. It was a great game. I mean, 103 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 5: what an amazing game. The NFC North is is an 104 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 5: amazing the best division this year in all of the NFL. 105 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 5: Going for it all fourth down seals up the victory 106 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 5: over the Packers. It gives Detroit a very commanding lead 107 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 5: get that divisional conference championship. 108 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 2: What was your takeaway from that game? 109 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 5: Because if you recalled last year in the playoffs, the 110 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 5: same type of stuff that didn't work in that playoff 111 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 5: game is what Dan Campbell did. And you know what, 112 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 5: he felt positive and confident about going for it. So 113 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 5: he's basically telling everybody, hey, listen, as long as us 114 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 5: in this locker room believe in it and want to 115 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 5: do it. 116 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 2: We're going to. 117 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 5: Continue to play Detroit Lions football. That's how we're going 118 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 5: to go about doing it. And they did and it 119 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 5: paid off. How do you feel about Dan Campbell making 120 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 5: that call? 121 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 6: Was? 122 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 5: What do you agree with it? And what do you 123 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 5: think about this Detroit Lions team? 124 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 2: Now? 125 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 4: I kind of think it's been Dan Campbell's mo you know, 126 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 4: since he's come to Detroit. I mean, he has not 127 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 4: backed off of anything that he had said. You know, 128 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 4: he's putting all the owners on his teammates that he 129 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 4: trust him to go out in you know, situational football 130 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 4: and get that fourth down to instill that belief in 131 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 4: this football team that listen, if it comes down to 132 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 4: you know, a yard or whatever the case may be, 133 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 4: I'm going for it. So so prepare yourself mentally, understand 134 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 4: the play, what we need to do, how we need 135 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 4: to get this one or two yards or whatever the 136 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 4: case may be. And that's the message that he's sending 137 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 4: to his team since he's been there. You know, he 138 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 4: said that they're going to take on the attitude of 139 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 4: the city of Detroit biting kneecaps. When he first came 140 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 4: in the door, everybody thought he was crazy. And I 141 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 4: believe that they have clutched the NFC northward that win 142 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 4: against Green Bay on Thursday. I think it's a name 143 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 4: that green Bay needed to get, you know, going down 144 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 4: to stretch from a confidence standpoint. But I look at 145 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 4: this Detroit team and Aaron Glenn. Defensively, they play a 146 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 4: lot of base defense. They expect to get to the 147 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 4: quarterback with the front seven front four, and they've been 148 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 4: able to do that. And I'm just looking at the 149 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 4: rest of their schedule. They had the Buffalo Bills, they 150 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 4: go to Chicago, they go to San Francisco in their 151 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 4: last game of the season against the Minnesota Vikings. So 152 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 4: you know, they're not out of it yet. I mean, 153 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 4: they're not totally locked into home fill advantage yet because 154 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 4: I believe that the Minnesota Vikings are only one game 155 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 4: behind them, you know, in the division. So and they 156 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 4: play them the last game of the season. If the 157 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 4: if the Detroit Lions happened to lose at Buffalo, I 158 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,719 Speaker 4: don't know how that affects, uh, you know, them as 159 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 4: far as home feelers vantage concerned, because they may be 160 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 4: in a situation to where, you know, they may be 161 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 4: tied at the for the last game of the season, 162 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 4: and it's going to come down to home Fiell advantage. 163 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 4: And if you're Dan Campbell, You're going to have to 164 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 4: play your start at the last game, but the last 165 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 4: game of the season to secure home feel advantage against 166 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,839 Speaker 4: the Minnesota Vikings. So that's what I'm looking at. The 167 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 4: last game of the season. It's in Detroit. But I 168 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 4: look at this Detroit team, man Dan Campbell and this 169 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 4: organization they have built like an indoor football team. I 170 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 4: think the Detroit Lions only had one or two outdoor 171 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 4: football games this year. I think that's one of the 172 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 4: reasons why their offense is as efficient as it is. 173 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 4: They need to secure home full advantage because I don't 174 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 4: believe that they can go to Philadelphia in January and 175 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 4: win an NFC championship game if they want to get 176 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 4: to the Super Bowl. So I believe that they have 177 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 4: to win out. They have to secure home fill advantage 178 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 4: because that's going to be the easiest route to get 179 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 4: to the Super Bowl. 180 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 5: We got a resident mark for the Detroit Lions and 181 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 5: Chris Purfet, he does a podcast on the team. 182 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 2: He has an opinion on on this topic. What say 183 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 2: you today? 184 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 7: Well, first off, on the outside thing, like they do 185 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 7: have a run game, and they won in Green Bay 186 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 7: in the rain. But I mostly wanted to mention now 187 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 7: that fourth down because I know, LeVar, you know this. 188 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 7: This week's been a lot about you know, the gamble 189 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 7: like that Dan Campbell's gambling out there. But you mentioned 190 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 7: the situational there. I just wanted to build on your point. 191 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 7: You look at where they are on that field that 192 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 7: I think it was the nineteen yard line, forty seconds left, 193 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 7: and they decide to go for it. You've got Jordan 194 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 7: love Is passing. I believe the average drop back yardage 195 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 7: he was getting on yardage on drop back passing was 196 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 7: thirteen yards in the second half. So like, your option 197 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 7: is either you kick the field goal, which is what 198 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 7: the analytics were actually saying you do in that situation, 199 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 7: or you go for it and like squat on the 200 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 7: time to kick the field goal to win it. I 201 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 7: think in that moment, every Packers fan wanted the Lions 202 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 7: to kick a field goal in that moment. I just 203 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 7: I don't see it as risky as people said. I 204 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 7: think to your point, when you talk about situational, they're 205 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 7: very aware of the situations they're in at that yardage 206 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 7: where even if you turn it over, it's not much 207 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 7: different than a kick than a touchback on kickoff. If 208 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 7: you miss the field goal, you're starting out, you're letting 209 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 7: the Packers start out from even farther out. Like I 210 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 7: think it was extremely calculated what they did in that moment, 211 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 7: But that's Dan's you know, Dan Campbell's m O. He 212 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 7: knows this team extremely well and knows what they're capable of, 213 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 7: and they have plenty of calls for a fourth and 214 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 7: inches to just hammer it home. 215 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 5: Jared Goff fell on the ground. If that was college football, 216 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,839 Speaker 5: it's a turnover on downs. I don't care they get 217 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 5: the first down. You mentioned the backfield. Listen, I'm gonna 218 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 5: tell you like this, David Montgomery and Jamaier Gibbs is 219 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 5: easily the most dynamic, nicest running back tandem duo in 220 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 5: the National Football League. Let me put this one in 221 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 5: front of you, guys. I felt like Dan Campbell was 222 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 5: doing something that was a bigger deal than just this 223 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 5: game or you know, situational football. What Dan Campbell was 224 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 5: doing with sending a message to the Green Bay Packers 225 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 5: and the rest of the teams in the NFC that 226 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 5: they will see in the playoffs. They may revisit this 227 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 5: game against the Green Bay Packers. That is a really, 228 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 5: really good green Bay Packers team. Jordan Love is a 229 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 5: superstar in this league. Budding star played his ass off. 230 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 5: They got Josh Jacobs in the backfield. That is a 231 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 5: very able team. You mentioned Minnesota, plex Minnesota is a 232 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 5: team that can beat both of them. They can beat 233 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 5: Green Bay and they can beat Detroit. So now you're 234 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 5: talking about that Philadelphia is out there. 235 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 2: They can beat all three of those teams. 236 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 5: I think Dan Campbell the brilliance of what Dan Campbell 237 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 5: is doing is he's playing a mind game with those 238 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 5: other teams while telling his team, listen, we're the big 239 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 5: bad bully on the block. If we got to see 240 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 5: them in the playoffs. We're showing right now that when 241 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 5: it comes down to it, we're going to be the 242 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 5: ones that are tougher up front. And we all know 243 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 5: that if you're going to win games, you gotta be 244 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 5: better upfront than the other team that you're going up against. 245 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 5: You gotta be able to run the ball, and you 246 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 5: got to be able to stop the run. That's what 247 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,959 Speaker 5: Dan Campbell showed in this game. Even though even though 248 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 5: the offense did very well in my estimation for green 249 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 5: Bay in this game, they were in position to be 250 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 5: able to possibly pull this game out. So getting a 251 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 5: game like this does something so amazing to your team, 252 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 5: Psyche at the end of the year, and all of 253 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 5: those scenarios that you discussed playing out, you know, playoffs wise, 254 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 5: if you do got to travel and go on the road, 255 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 5: if you do got to play outside in the elements, 256 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 5: whatever it may be. I think the collective buy in 257 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 5: and the belief that Dan Campbell has been able to 258 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 5: establish with his team showed in a shining moment such 259 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 5: as that he didn't have to go for it. He 260 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 5: could have kicked that field goal and then kicked the 261 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 5: ball off and then they played defense. There was a 262 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 5: bigger point to be made. There was a much bigger 263 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 5: point to be made, and you know what he did 264 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 5: it He proved the point the game could have been. 265 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 5: You know, I don't know if the game could have 266 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 5: been won or not based off of the amount of 267 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 5: time that was left. 268 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 2: Could could green Bay have delivered it? 269 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 5: I don't know, but I do know this that man 270 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 5: said to green Bay, it is fourth down in short 271 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 5: and we are already in field goal range, and it 272 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 5: is the end of the game. I'm gonna give you 273 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 5: no time to have any drive, and I'm gonna do 274 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 5: it by slamming this ball down the. 275 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 2: Center of your defense. It was I thought it was. 276 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,479 Speaker 5: Because it worked, of course, I thought it was an 277 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 5: amazing moment for Dan Campbell. 278 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 2: But hey, we'll see how it all plays out. 279 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 5: I think Detroit is obviously the front runner, but this 280 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 5: Philadelphia team is trending in the right direction. They're a 281 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 5: scary team. And keep in mind those other two teams 282 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 5: in the North, they are pretty scary as well. All right, 283 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 5: listen up, this is up on game. That is Plexicoe 284 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 5: Burds TJ is off. You heard from Chris Purfett.

They looking at it at his 336 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 8: fall back money. They ain't even thinking I got to 337 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 8: grind this year to get to use. You know, that 338 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 8: was a motivation. It ain't the motivation no more.

The fact that 353 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 4: he just said he has to re recruit his own kid, 354 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 4: that's really unfortunate because I remember when I was a kid. Man, 355 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 4: you was growing up, you wanted to go to a 356 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 4: certain school because you loved it. And obviously you know, 357 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 4: the NIL you know, has changed the entire landscape of 358 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 4: college sports forever. 359 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 2: I mean, look at Tony Bennett. 360 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 4: He just up and resigned and he was one of 361 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 4: the best basketball coaches in the country at UVA, and 362 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 4: he was like, listen, I can't coach the way that 363 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 4: I want to coach because because his whole NIL situation 364 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 4: and the way that has changed, you know, the college 365 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 4: landscape of how the kids are basically just like he's saying, 366 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 4: preparing and playing basketball. 367 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 2: I can't coach.

And 370 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 4: that's why you have to you know, uh, give kudos 371 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 4: to a Dabbo Sweeney, to a Kirbly Smart because they 372 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 4: don't accept in IL transfers at Clemson in Georgia. If 373 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 4: you want to play at Clemson and you want to 374 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 4: play at Georgia, I want you to be all in 375 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 4: with the program. And you know, kudos kudos coaches for 376 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 4: you know, standing up for what they believe in. But uh, 377 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 4: I can I agree exactly what he said. You look 378 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,400 Speaker 4: at you know, Dylan Gabriel was at Oklahoma last year, 379 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 4: now he's at Oregon. These kids can put themselves in 380 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 4: situations to they say, you know what, I'm gonna go 381 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 4: get go get the most money that I can right 382 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 4: now because a lot of these kids that are accepting 383 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 4: and getting all this NL money, everybody's not going to 384 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:58,719 Speaker 4: the NFL, so they have but they have an opportunity 385 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 4: to just like Phenny said, to have some fall back money. 386 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 4: And why would you put yourself in a situation to 387 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 4: you know, uh, you know, to insert yourself into the 388 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 4: NFL draft, for to the NBA draft if you know 389 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 4: that you can play in college for another year or 390 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 4: two and make another couple of million dollars. And just 391 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 4: like you said, I can I can sense that it 392 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 4: will take some of the some of the love and 393 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 4: the drive out of these kids, because it's like he's saying, hey, man, 394 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 4: if you don't like it, I can leave. And that 395 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 4: is what it has afforded these young men, you know, 396 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 4: looking at this whole nil situation because I mean, guys 397 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 4: are going from team to team to team every year 398 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 4: and we didn't have that opportunity to, uh, to do 399 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 4: what these guys are doing now. But for the time being, 400 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 4: these guys are going to put themselves in the best 401 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 4: situation moving forward from up from a financial standpoint. And LaVar, 402 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 4: you know, everybody doesn't grow up and come up in 403 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,199 Speaker 4: the exactly the standards as far as from a financial standpoint. 404 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 4: So now you may have a kid that wanted to 405 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 4: go to Penn State all his life and incomes mind 406 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 4: of Ohio and they offer this young man two million 407 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 4: dollars and he's looking at his circumstances coming up and 408 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 4: growing up, and parents get involved and they're like, you know, 409 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 4: why would you go here when you can make two 410 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 4: million dollars over here, So that that's also the impact 411 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,199 Speaker 4: that it's having on some of these families. You know, 412 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 4: I'm not saying that what happened with my guy Deuce, 413 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 4: but you know, he was one of the best quarterbacks 414 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 4: in the country going to Nouth bench was going to 415 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 4: South bench and we were excited about that. And obviously 416 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 4: if you can see he, you know, we lost him 417 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 4: to an im Now he will be the quarterback at Auburn. 418 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 4: So it has an effect on everybody. But you know, 419 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 4: I don't think I don't think it's going to change 420 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 4: anytime soon. And I could believe, you know, exactly where 421 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 4: where Penny Hardaway is coming from. 422 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 5: I think one way or another, disruption takes place because 423 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 5: that's what evolution is, right. Civilization evolves, Things happen, you 424 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 5: notice more, you're aware of more, and the adaption in 425 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 5: the adjustment has to take place. And that's what's taking 426 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 5: place in college sports. There's been so much negativity surrounding 427 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 5: and backlash surrounding what NIL has created, But you know 428 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 5: what there was a lot of backlash and a lot 429 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 5: of negativity about you know, for some people, at least 430 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 5: what would be considered to be exploitation of college athletes, 431 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 5: and people may not want to look at the topic 432 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 5: and look at it at face value of what it was. 433 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 5: But so many people tried to justify that these guys 434 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 5: are getting free, free educations to be able to go 435 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 5: play a sport they love, and that should have been 436 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 5: good enough. And while they're maybe pieces and parts of 437 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 5: that that are agreeable, the bottom line is the amount 438 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 5: of money that's being generated by these TV stations and 439 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 5: all the money that's being paid by advertisers that are 440 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 5: going out and coming into these conferences and into the 441 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:19,959 Speaker 5: NCAA and into the schools. It just to me it 442 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 5: would serve a purpose to figure out how to compensate 443 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 5: the kids that are coming in who are working. 444 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,360 Speaker 2: They're working to. 445 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 5: Not only get an education, but to put the time 446 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 5: in to generate the type of dollars that are going 447 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 5: into the athletics that are taking place from these major 448 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 5: colleges and the sports that take place with them. So 449 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 5: when I heard this, it was like, are we looking 450 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 5: at this through the wrong lens? If I'm penny hard away. 451 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 5: I look at it as this is more of an 452 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 5: opportunity than it is a drawback. Okay, I can't get 453 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 5: the kids to practice as hard as I need to. 454 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 2: Why. 455 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 5: Oh, because they can leave if they want to leave, 456 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 5: adapt and adjust. That means there now has to start 457 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 5: to be the conversation amongst the colleges. So that hold, 458 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 5: let me finish, let me finish, let me finish it, 459 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 5: let me finish. There has to be an adjustment amongst 460 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:20,199 Speaker 5: the colleges and amongst the schools to figure out a 461 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 5: more professional structure and infrastructure that will allow for contracts 462 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 5: to be given to these young men that are going 463 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 5: to play for these schools. 464 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 2: So you're not. 465 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 5: Doing a one year and done contract with these kids. 466 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 5: Maybe now you're doing a three year contract with these 467 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 5: kids that are coming in so that you don't have 468 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 5: to deal with those situations. 469 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 2: Oh, you got to keep recruiting them. 470 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 5: It's because they can leave and go somewhere else, right, Okay, Now, 471 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 5: now let's look at the fact that if I'm a 472 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 5: coach and I have to be a part of that, well, 473 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 5: now I can start to command more dollars too, because 474 00:24:54,600 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 5: my job description is now changing and the pros the 475 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 5: pros you do. You handle free agency a certain way, 476 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 5: but in college it's all about recruitment. So if now 477 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 5: I have to start acting in the way that I 478 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 5: would in some regards as a professional coach, then you're 479 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,239 Speaker 5: going to have to start compensating me for being that 480 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 5: type of coach and having to do these extra duties 481 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 5: that I did not have to do before. 482 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 2: We had to evolve and adjust and for what it's worth. 483 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 2: I think that that's what's going to happen with the 484 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 2: players as well. 485 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 5: The players have to look at the fact that now 486 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 5: we have to handle business. I got to do a 487 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 5: contract and I have to decide am I going to 488 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 5: Am I going to make a commitment to this school? 489 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 5: And is that commitment going to be a reciprocated commitment? 490 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,199 Speaker 5: Am I getting what the school is offering to me? 491 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 5: And am I giving to the school what it is 492 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 5: that I'm accepting that the school offered to me. I 493 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 5: think this should be looked at more as a positive 494 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 5: plex not more of a negative. 495 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 4: I understand everything that you're saying, but what is the 496 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 4: adjustment or a Penny hall Away and a Tony Bennett, 497 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 4: these coaches who who are discussing the NIL when they're 498 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 4: saying that I have to re recruit my own player, Yes, 499 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 4: after the season is over, So what. 500 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 2: Is the adjustment for that? 501 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 5: Again, I think that that adjustment has to be the people. 502 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,199 Speaker 4: So you're saying the guys need to sign two and 503 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 4: three year contracts to basically say that I'm going to 504 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 4: play basketball at. 505 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 2: Memphis for the next two or three seasons, and I yes, 506 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:32,679 Speaker 2: it's going to end up having to be. 507 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 5: And the reason why I say that is is if 508 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 5: you're only doing one year contracts with these kids and 509 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 5: they can just go into the transfer portal because they 510 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 5: can get more money out of the scenario, then you 511 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 5: want to give them more of. 512 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 2: A reason to stay at the school. 513 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 5: And that gives the coach more of a foot to 514 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 5: stand on to be able to coach them because he's right. 515 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 5: Agents are calling coaches and saying, yeah, we might not 516 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 5: play in this game, we might opt out of the season. 517 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 2: You saw what happened with the quarterback at UNLV. 518 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 5: I mean there are there are these agents, and these 519 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 5: kids are leveraging the NIL and the portal to be 520 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 5: able to say I don't feel like the practice in today, 521 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 5: I don't feel like doing what you're telling me to do. 522 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 5: I don't feel like coming to meetings. You got to 523 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 5: put more of a structure in place now where you 524 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 5: can't loophole the system the way that the athletes are 525 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 5: doing now, the loophole in the loophole in the system, 526 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 5: and how the current players who are on these rosters 527 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 5: are leveraging in the system. They're looking at a situation 528 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 5: to be like, you know. 529 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 4: What, I can't have a guy, a guy that's coming 530 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 4: out of high school coming to play college basketball with me, 531 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 4: and I'm here averaging twenty five points and this young 532 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 4: man that's coming in is making more money than me. 533 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 4: So what is the guy going to do on the 534 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 4: team that's averaging on those twenty points? 535 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 2: You see? 536 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 4: You know what, I can't have this or this freshman 537 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 4: coming and making more money than me. I'm putting myself 538 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,360 Speaker 4: on the market to go somewhere else to make more 539 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,919 Speaker 4: money because I'm not I'm not going to stand for 540 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 4: a guy that's younger than me coming into the program 541 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 4: that's making money to me. So what am I going 542 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 4: to do? I'm leverage myself and put myself in a 543 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 4: situation to make more. 544 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 5: Money it's a workplace. Now you're creating a competitive workplace 545 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 5: and that exists in the real world. And like with 546 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 5: his point too, I can I can stack me a 547 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 5: couple million, and whether I make it to the NBA 548 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 5: or the NFL or not, I stacked me a couple 549 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 5: million while I'm in school, and I'm good. 550 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 2: Now. 551 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 5: You know what, plex I tell Mike, I have preached 552 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 5: to my kids and the kids that I mentor that 553 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 5: that's exactly how you should be thinking. You should be 554 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 5: working to build yourself up and build your brand so 555 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 5: strong that you don't need to actually only have one 556 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 5: job opportunity when you're leaving school. You should have multiple options, 557 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 5: multiple ways of being able to generate income by the 558 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 5: time you're leaving school, and it should not have to 559 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,479 Speaker 5: necessarily be you making it to the pros. You and 560 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 5: I both know how small that percentage is. So for 561 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 5: the most part, if one of those kids, if we 562 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 5: even looked at the amount of five stars or four 563 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 5: stars or three stars that go to the pros after 564 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 5: coming in from high school, it's still a very minute number. 565 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 5: It's still a very minute percentage in comparison to't who 566 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 5: do not make it. In so why would you not 567 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 5: motivate and inspire these young athletes to see themselves as 568 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 5: more than just athletes. So to me, I feel like 569 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 5: in a lot of ways we get lazy in our 570 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 5: approach as to how we look at what's going on 571 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 5: with these young athletes, and we make it a point 572 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 5: to say, oh, they are student athletes, Oh they are students, 573 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 5: students student student athletes. Well what exactly does that mean? 574 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 5: And now you're starting to see if the educational process 575 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 5: is what it's supposed to be, because now the educational 576 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 5: system has to take a look at this, and curriculum 577 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 5: has to adapt into just to it as well. Even 578 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 5: in high school, right start teaching these kids how to 579 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 5: understand what their brands are, how to build a brand, 580 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 5: what does. 581 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 2: That look like? The College LeVar doesn't have a brand, 582 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 2: most of them don't. And that's the reason why. 583 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 4: And and so that's the Evigids won't see the NFL. 584 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 2: We know that, and I wouldn't say that we. 585 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 4: Are we are getting lazy in our approach. What Penny 586 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 4: is saying is making the kids lazy in their approach. 587 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 5: That's making that's making some of them, it's making some 588 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 5: of them entitled it's making some of them lazy in 589 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 5: their approach. But let's be real, plex them type of 590 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 5: dudes have always been around them. Type of dudes have 591 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 5: always guys that don't want to practice and practice when 592 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 5: they want to practice. They've always been around they have 593 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 5: all It's just that the circumstances have changed. The circumstances 594 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 5: have changed, and now the rabbid has the gun. I mean, 595 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 5: that's just the reality of it. So now there has 596 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 5: to be a forced way in my estimation, of really 597 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 5: adapting and adjusting to the changing times. And that's ultimately 598 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 5: what it comes down to, because they're generating way too 599 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 5: much money and at this point, now that the money 600 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 5: is becoming a thing that is connected to the athletes, 601 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 5: you got to figure out how it works for the 602 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 5: athletes as well as the coach, as well as the universities. 603 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 5: That's ultimately what it's going to come down to, because 604 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 5: it's not going anywhere. All right, we've run out of time. 605 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 5: Will This is obviously a conversation on the topic that 606 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 5: will continue to persist and continue on, so we'll get 607 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 5: back to it at some point. But let's get to 608 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 5: our guy, Isaac long Kron. It what you got in 609 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 5: the updates, I love. 610 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 6: Well, Levari got the bay. How's it going black?

He goes 663 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 5: on as an analyst with ESPN. He had some strong 664 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 5: opinions on the college playoffs and some of the teams 665 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 5: that are in it. 666 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 2: We talked about. 667 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:28,280 Speaker 5: Ashton Genty and what he represents in the Mountain West 668 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 5: Conference title game and if they were to win and 669 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,800 Speaker 5: gent's up for the Heisman, he's a favorite to possibly 670 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 5: win it. Here's what Cam Newton had to say about 671 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 5: these teams like Indiana and Boisean SMU. 672 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 9: Nobody wants to see SMU. Nobody wants to see Arizona State. 673 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,919 Speaker 9: Nobody wants to see Indiana. Nobody wants to see Boys 674 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 9: and State straight up. Like, when I'm seeing this, I'm saying, 675 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 9: how do you play before a team who's lost or 676 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 9: Ole Miss has lost the University of Florida, Kentucky and UGA, 677 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,240 Speaker 9: even Miami for that matter. You lost to a Georgia 678 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 9: Tech team that went to eight overtimes with UGA, Right, 679 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 9: that's a considering factor. 680 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,760 Speaker 2: I just think we need to really consider team strength 681 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 2: of schedule. 682 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 9: Or you're talking about the national championship, do you or 683 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 9: have you really earned the right to say that playing 684 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 9: the top the tier talent that you've played and no 685 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 9: Boise Like without it being gent, I'm like, I don't 686 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 9: want to see Boise State. And if Boise State where 687 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 9: to play Georgia, would Gent really get off? 688 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 2: See? 689 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 5: I want to hear your your your take on it, 690 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 5: plex but I got a quick one. But what's your take? 691 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 5: It's some validity and truth behind it. I understand what 692 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 5: he's saying. You know, Indiana, it has on one hundred 693 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 5: and second strength of schedule, SMU has the easiest schedule 694 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 5: and all of college football. 695 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 4: You know what I mean? We're looking at Arizona. They're 696 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,840 Speaker 4: just schedule the sixty six Arizona State and it is 697 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:14,799 Speaker 4: some valiity behind it, but it's I think it's better 698 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 4: for college football because we get an opportunity to see 699 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:18,280 Speaker 4: an Ashon Genty. 700 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 2: Listen a lot of on the East Coast. 701 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 4: If it wasn't for yesterday or the last couple of weeks, 702 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,360 Speaker 4: we wouldn't even know who ashing Genty is because you 703 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:31,320 Speaker 4: don't get to see a using. 704 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 2: Genty in a Boise State football team. 705 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 4: So now you look, we're looking at this situation to 706 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,720 Speaker 4: where man everybody was saying that we know that Travis 707 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 4: Hunter is the best playing college football. What if he 708 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 4: does go out he eclipses Therm in the Thomas' record 709 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 4: or what are the voters over here going to decide? 710 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,239 Speaker 4: So there are some pros and obviously there's going to 711 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 4: be some cons with this moving forward, but I think 712 00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 4: that's the best best thing for college football. And just 713 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 4: like you said, I do, I do believe that it 714 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 4: does come down to a you know, a strength of schedule. 715 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 4: When you have an Alabama team who is nine and three, 716 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,359 Speaker 4: people want to see Alabama, you know, And he does 717 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,959 Speaker 4: have a point with some of the points that he's making. 718 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 4: But I think it's the best thing of college football. 719 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 4: I think it's going to only continue to get better, 720 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 4: and obviously you know it's going to have some scrutinies 721 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:23,880 Speaker 4: of moving forward. 722 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 7: I got to ask this to Cam, Like Auburn is 723 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,479 Speaker 7: basically the Indiana of the SEC. I know people gass 724 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,919 Speaker 7: up Auburn all the time, but like we're talking about 725 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 7: knocking out a Big ten team now, like from a 726 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 7: guy who you know played at all, we're knocking out 727 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 7: like power for schools already just because you don't like 728 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 7: them enough. I don't like this president being. 729 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 4: Said as a fan, it's the same thing that happened 730 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:49,759 Speaker 4: with Florida State last year. 731 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,560 Speaker 2: It's the same exact thing. And Florida State is a 732 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 2: known brand. 733 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 5: They're a known commodity, like a much more established and 734 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 5: known commodity in football than what Indiana is. I just 735 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 5: think as a fan, the whole idea of this is 736 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,320 Speaker 5: why you lace it up, you put the pads on, 737 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,320 Speaker 5: and you play the game. That should mean something. That 738 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,280 Speaker 5: should mean something. If you prepare, you go to a school, 739 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 5: you prepare for the season as a player. Those those 740 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 5: players don't decide and choose what their record or what 741 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 5: their school you know, schedule is. You prepare, you line 742 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,399 Speaker 5: it up, you get ready, you play the season. If 743 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 5: you win, there should be some type of reward if 744 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 5: you win. And if you're at a certain level and 745 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,280 Speaker 5: you're winning all your games or you win your conference, 746 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,680 Speaker 5: you should have the opportunity to strap it up and 747 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 5: compete and see how you compare. Sometimes it's not about 748 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,360 Speaker 5: what people want the matchup to be. Sometimes it's about 749 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 5: who earnt the matchup. Your schedule is your schedule. You 750 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 5: took that schedule knowing that you could possibly lose some 751 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 5: of these games. Okay, that's what it is. 752 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 2: That's what you did. 753 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 5: Your school chowse that it's part of your com friends. SEC, 754 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,279 Speaker 5: they don't want all that smoke. They don't play as 755 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 5: many conference games right as the Big Ten. They don't 756 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 5: want that smoke. They want cupcake games at the end 757 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,279 Speaker 5: of the year where they play Troy State or or 758 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 5: a pine you know, Pine Bluff or whatever it is 759 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 5: that they play at the end of the year. They 760 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 5: don't want all that until they get into the championship round, 761 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 5: the SEC championship. 762 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 2: I just think as a fan, yes and on one part. 763 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 5: One side, I would love to see a Notre Dame 764 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 5: versus Alabama versus Notre Dame versus Boyse. 765 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 2: I would love that. 766 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 5: But on the other side of it, it's like, why 767 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,839 Speaker 5: is Boyse here? Show me why they're here? My daughter 768 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 5: plays for LMU. If there wasn't underdogs and underdogs having 769 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,840 Speaker 5: the opportunity to show what it is. We never have 770 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 5: Cinderella stories. We never have underdog stories. We never have 771 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 5: a Hank Gathers, We never have guys that come from 772 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 5: Gonzaga that were the reason why a team won in 773 00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,880 Speaker 5: the tournament. Stuff like that. I think there are positive 774 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 5: and I think there are negatives to it. I don't 775 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,840 Speaker 5: necessarily all the way agree with Cam, but with that 776 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,640 Speaker 5: being said, he does make some valid points on what 777 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 5: it is that he's saying. All right, listen up, y'all, 778 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,839 Speaker 5: take a deep breath, think about what we just talked about, 779 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 5: because well we're going to take a quick break as well. 780 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,320 Speaker 5: Our two of up on game is coming at you 781 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 5: in just a matter of seconds. At the top of 782 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 5: the hour. We will be talking a little football, but 783 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,719 Speaker 5: we do have cuffs the legend coming on as well. 784 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 5: I know you're excited about that plexico.
