1
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine the devastation. Can you imagine the devastation.

2
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: Can you imagine a South Carolina fan? Nothing's gone right

3
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: this year, and yet there you are in College Station,

4
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: Texas against the team currently favored to win the SEC championship,

5
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: and it's thirty to three, and you're the guy with

6
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: thirty and you're the one who lost the game. That's

7
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: why you got to pay attention every week. That's why

8
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 1: you can't just skip to the playoffs in this sport.

9
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: We're happy to have you, though, we're jam packed. We're

10
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: high a top a formerly sunny downtown Nashville, Tennessee, now

11
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: it's just dark outside. Sunday, November sixteenth, the Year of

12
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: Our Lord, twenty twenty five. I've got Week twelve reaction.

13
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,959
Speaker 1: Boy do I have Week twelve reaction? Got a lot

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: of it. It's a shame the haters have shown up

15
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: tonight from certain corners of the contiguous United States, thinking

16
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw on the clown nose. We'll see if

17
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: I do. Hooms amongst us knows. I do have updated

18
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: college football playoff predictions, which is apparently a segment that

19
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to do every Sunday, because no one

20
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: can really get a grip on this sport. No one

21
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: can really get a grip on the college football playoff.

22
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: I saw some projections that have North Texas in the

23
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: playoff as of five pm today, So yeah, I've got that.

24
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: I got coaching searches all over the place. Look, listen,

25
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: I know a lot of folks are paying attention to

26
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin, and rightfully so, I mean, that's one of

27
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: the big talking points right now. Is he gonna stay

28
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: at Ole Miss? Is he gonna go to Florida? Is

29
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: he gonna go to LSU? Is he gonna go to

30
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins? For all I know, Hey, at some point,

31
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 1: at some point, Ole Miss has got to put him

32
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: on the table and Old Miss has got to get

33
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: an answer. And I think that some point is really

34
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: really close, like before the egg Bowl close. So we'll

35
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: talk about that. Also, I think it's worth the paper pop.

36
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: We've got a major announcement on the show tonight. Not now,

37
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: but in a few minutes, probably like twenty minutes or so.

38
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: We got a major announcement on the show tonight, and

39
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: so much more. Listen to this. That's a heavy stack

40
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: of papers. We waste no time. They're watching us in Tucker, Georgia, Rochester,

41
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: New York, Napa, California, Livingston, California. We are, as of

42
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: this Sunday evening, less than twenty thousand subs away from

43
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: five hundred subscriptions to the YouTube channel. So now more

44
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: than ever I ask you check, make sure are you subscribed.

45
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: If your answer is yes, double check. I talked to

46
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: no less than twenty people at Sandford Stadium last night

47
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: who admitted to me, and good for you, guys and

48
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 1: girls for admitting it that you thought you were subscribed

49
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: and you weren't. You admitted it. I never pressed anyone

50
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: on it. They admitted it, and I appreciate the honesty.

51
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: And we rectified many of those situations last night. So

52
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Again, That's not the major announcement.

53
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: I got a major announcement later in the show. Oh

54
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: is it a major announcement? First of it's kind around here?

55
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: I hate talking with the pen in my hands, first

56
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: of it's kind around here. But that will be for

57
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: twenty or some minutes down the road. In the meantime,

58
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: let's talk about some games from yesterday. Where do you

59
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: think I should start? Yeah, I'll start on this game.

60
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: Oklahoma went to Tuscaloos and beat Alabama twenty three to

61
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: twenty one. Some people me thought it wouldn't happen. Some

62
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: people me picked Bama to win, picked Bama to cover,

63
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: pick Bama by double digits. Got to give the game

64
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: for Chili. Maybe four and a half Childli, somewhere between

65
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: four and four and a half Childli. We don't do

66
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: the quarter points system around here really entertaining game. Now,

67
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: there have been some rumors floating around the internet today

68
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: that since I sat here, I had the audacity to

69
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: pick Alabama to win the game and cover and win

70
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: by double digits, that I may throw on the clown nose.

71
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm not throwing on the clown nose for you people.

72
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: I'm not. I did that one time already this year. Now.

73
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: What I can't stand, what makes it tough for me

74
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: to sleep at night, is thinking that I have turned

75
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: anyone against me in the fine state of Oklahoma. As

76
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: my fellow Oklahoma's know, I spend a lot of time

77
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: in Oklahoma in the season and in the spring during

78
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: stormchasing season. I love Oklahoma. It's not that I had

79
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: taken some anti Oklahoma stance. I thought the matchup was

80
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: bad for him. I thought the matchup really favored Alabama,

81
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: so it was nothing personal. You could have thrown potato

82
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: sacks on him instead of uniforms and had nothing to

83
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: do with the logos. It had a lot to do

84
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: with the matchup that I thought I saw. So you

85
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: watched the game play out. I watched the game play out,

86
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: and afterwards, like a disproportionate amount of dms flooded my inbox. Haters, haters, Jesse.

87
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: A lot of them were bots, to be fair, but

88
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:37,799
Speaker 1: some people were real, authentic people, like legit humans breathing

89
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: the same oxygen as you and I. And they said,

90
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: how could you have liked Alabama to win this game

91
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: by double digits? Well, I'll tell you how I liked

92
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: Bama to win the game by double digits because of

93
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: the way the game played out. You know, like there

94
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: are some padlock stats and then there are badlock stats.

95
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: This is going to sound like excuse making. It's not.

96
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: I'm about to give ou a metric ton of credit

97
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: in a second. I'm not trying to describe to you

98
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: why this should have happened or didn't happen. I'm trying

99
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: to describe to you how I thought the game was

100
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: going to go, how it actually did go, and therefore

101
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: my reasoning for picking the side I did. There was

102
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: a four h six to two twelve yardage edge in

103
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: this thing. It went the way of Alabama. Twenty three

104
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: to twelve first down, it went the way of Bama.

105
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: About a four percent post game win expectancy for Oklahoma

106
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: in this thing. That's almost as bad as the Bama

107
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: Vandy game last year. Bama had six drives longer than

108
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: Oklahoma's longest drive. But those are badlock stats. We call

109
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: those badlock stats on the show because if you had

110
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: those in your hand Friday, Oh, you would have made

111
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: a pick on the game. You may have even bet

112
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: money on the game. You would have lost. You would

113
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: have lost because, as we said in the game preview,

114
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: in fairness, what little credit we're going to get for

115
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: this week, was a tough week around here. In fairness,

116
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: all of that is mitigated by turnover margin. There was

117
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: reason to believe that Oklahoma, if anything, would have the

118
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: turnover edge tilted against them, although we believe that stat

119
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: is randomized. Because we enter this game and Bama's really

120
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: good at home and Bama's top ten and turnover margin

121
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: and Oklahoma's one hundred and twelfth. But you want to

122
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: know how randomized turnovers are? Minus three anyway, The team

123
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: that looked like it had all the edges there minus

124
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: three anyway, and that means they lose a football game

125
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: and Oklahoma wins. Now, here's why I stopped short. Here's

126
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: why I said, Oh, it's randomized, and a lot of

127
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: it's luck and whatnot. I'm not using that word because

128
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: this wasn't luck. There was nothing lucky. It is a

129
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: little randomized on any given play, any given series, any

130
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: given quarter, half game. Yeah, it's a little bit of

131
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: a randomized stat. Turnovers, it's a little bit of a

132
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,119
Speaker 1: randomized stat. However, man, there was a lot of intent

133
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: with the way Oklahoma played yesterday. So I don't know

134
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: how many games you watch on an average Saturday, most

135
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: of us, most of you who are watching this show,

136
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: you probably watch a ton of football, So we watch

137
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: a lot of games. You watch guys play defense all

138
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: the time. You watch teams play defense. Everyone wants to

139
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: force turnovers. It's not like a defense ever takes the

140
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: field thinking, eh, we could do with or without getting

141
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: the ball. Yeah, of course you want to force turnovers,

142
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: but very few defenses play with the intent to force

143
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: turnovers the likes of which Oklahoma played at yesterday. I

144
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: have never seen it so glaringly obvious that that was

145
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: the coaching point during the week for Oklahoma or two weeks,

146
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: because they came out of a bye more so than yesterday.

147
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: Just unbelievable effort and as many as many turnovers as

148
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: they forced. It felt like there were like fifteen other

149
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: balls on the ground that they could have recovered or

150
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: that came out right after the ball carrier's knee was down,

151
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: like they were after the football constantly. That is absolutely

152
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: what a Brenton Venables defense should be about. There. It

153
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: wasn't just that, though none of the game was an accident.

154
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: Every Outlabama drive they had, eleven of them started inside

155
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: their own thirty yard line. Just phenomenal special teams effort.

156
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: Here Oklahoma was plus twenty two yards in net starting

157
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: field position. Just again, a masterful enough job, not perfect,

158
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: a masterful enough job. All day they were three for

159
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: three on their field goals Alabama's ozer for one, and

160
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: I mean it was like watching an episode of Jerry

161
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: Springer watching Alabama's kicking unit out there. There's some bad blood.

162
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: There's really I think a couch visit needed, really a

163
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: counseling session needed by you got a long snapper just

164
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: going absolutely nut job on a long snapper. Crazy stuff.

165
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: Not Oklahoma's fault, or maybe it is, but it's something

166
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: to take pride in. Oklahoma also had a forty two

167
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: yard punt return. They re covered a muff punt. So

168
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: that's what you have to do to win a game

169
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: where John Mattier is going to be fifteen of twenty

170
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: three fo one hundred thre eight yards, that's what you

171
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: have to do. If I were to have told you again,

172
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: if I were to have told you Friday, if I

173
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: told myself Friday that Mateir was gonna come out of

174
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: the bye week and he's gonna throw for one thirty eight,

175
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna run for twenty three, Like that's nothing special.

176
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: You're never thinking to yourself, Oh man, Oklahoma's gonna victimize

177
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 1: Alabama in several other categories. They're gonna special teams them

178
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: to death, they're gonna turn over them to death. It

179
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: just would not have occurred to me, and yet it

180
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: did happen. That's where the credit is due. So it's

181
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: very obvious coming out of the bye that you're not

182
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: gonna get pre injury. John Matteir, this is really what

183
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna get. It's no one's fault, it's what you're

184
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: gonna get. Now. You can choose to do one of

185
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: two things there. If you're Oklahoma, you can either choose

186
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: to have that implode your season, or you can fight.

187
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: And they chose to fight. It's huge credit to Brent

188
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: Vivenables and his coaching staff. There's so many imperfections on

189
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: the team right now, but they chose to fight, and

190
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: they're sitting here at eight and two. I believe they

191
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: control their playoff destiny. This game really opened up a

192
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: lot of the chaos scenarios that we talked about last

193
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: week because Oklahoma's got Missouri and LSU left both at home.

194
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: If they win those, they're ten and two. Oklahoma's going

195
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: to the playoff. I had Jesse look up earlier today,

196
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,359
Speaker 1: what's the thing the playoff predictor that ESPN has, and

197
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: I said, plug in those two wins. He said, with

198
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: those two wins, I think it was ninety four percent

199
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: odds for Oklahoma to make the playoff. I don't even

200
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: know what the other six percent is they're in to

201
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: me if they win those two games. I mean, we

202
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: were throwing around scenarios as recently as last week where

203
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: a three loss Oklahoma made it in. So certainly ten

204
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: to two Oklahoma's going to make it in. The other

205
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: chaos is, Look, I don't do tie breakers very well.

206
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: I don't even mess around with the tie breaker scenarios,

207
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: so I just count on someone to tell me that

208
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: stuff makes my head swim. I was under the impression

209
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: that if Bama went down to Auburn and won the

210
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: Iron Bowl in a couple of weeks, that they were

211
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: still going to Atlanta, and that was a mathematical certainty.

212
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: Apparently that's not. Apparently, you know, there's some like round

213
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: robin tiebreaker scenarios that I don't want to even get

214
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: involved in. Bottom line, Obama's not got to win out

215
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: to make the playoff. They got Eastern Illinois this week

216
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: not doing great this year from what I hear, and

217
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: then they've got the Iron Bowl, and look, I follow

218
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: Alabama pretty closely. One of the things that I could

219
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: do without from that program is every time the Iron

220
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: Bowl on the road gets closer, there's this malaise of

221
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: fear and uncertainty that creeps in. I mean a lot

222
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: of people believe in dark magic around the Alabama fan base,

223
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: and I'm sure a lot of folks are going to

224
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: try and inform that coaching staff over the next couple

225
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: of weeks. So you don't even know what you're in for. Yeah,

226
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a self fulfilling prophecy that

227
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: goes on there. I watched it happen under Sabing time

228
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: and time again. You talk yourself into playing way tighter

229
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: on the road than you have any business playing, and

230
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: then the Jorden Harris Dadium stuff happens to you because

231
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: you're kind of contributing to it happening to you, Like,

232
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: go take care of business, and if you can't win

233
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: down there, you don't belong in anyway. So I didn't

234
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: really learn anything about Alabama yesterday. Anytime a game happens,

235
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: anytime Alabama loses a game, we get huge viewership on

236
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: the show. And anytime Alabama loses a game, the message

237
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: boards go crazy and talk radio will be insane in

238
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: Birmingham tomorrow morning, and it's like, what did we learn

239
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: about Alabama. I don't really think I learned anything. It

240
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: kind of enforced or reinforced some beliefs I have, like

241
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: did we were we ever under the impression that they

242
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: weren't tightrope walking? I wasn't at their best like best

243
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: case scenario, Obama's got to walk the tightrope. When you

244
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: can't run the ball, it doesn't mean you can't win.

245
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: When you can't run the ball, you just remove margin

246
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: for errors. You're living on the margins. Really, everything else

247
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: has got to be really really tight and buttoned up,

248
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: and everything's got to work fairly seamlessly. You're not going

249
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: to be perfect, But I mean, you can't have operational breakdowns.

250
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: You can't have muff punches. You can't have that stuff.

251
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: You can have the occasional miss field goal. It is

252
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: Alabama football, after all. You can afford to bake that in.

253
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 1: But a lot of the other stuff, man, like the

254
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: overall losing of the special team's battle, it just can't happen.

255
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: Drop passes can't happen. Procedural issues can't happen, pass pro

256
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: breakdowns can't happen. That kind of stuff can't happen. Now,

257
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: if they take care of business in all those areas

258
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 1: they can win without running the ball effectively. Truthfully, I

259
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: thought they ran the ball better yesterday than I expected

260
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: them to. That's grating on the Bama rushing curve. But

261
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: here's the question, I guess. If there's one thing I learned,

262
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: it's not one thing I learned, it's a new question.

263
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: I added, are they fading at the worst possible time?

264
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: You hope to be peaking at the best of times

265
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: here And they came out of the by they played LSU,

266
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: and I thought for a twenty to nine win. Boy,

267
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: there was so much meat left on the bone, part

268
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: of the ammunition that I had in my holtzter for

269
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: trying to pick them to win and cover here was.

270
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: I thought a lot of the explosive plays that were

271
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: barely missed through the air against LSU would be there.

272
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: They're still not there, still not there. So I mean

273
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: in November now we're well past thinking that someone is

274
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: in the process of ultimately becoming Like, yeah, you continue

275
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: to hone, Georgia continues to get better. But to count

276
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: on a fundamental facet of your team to show up

277
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: in November that normally doesn't happen. It normally doesn't happen.

278
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: So as of last night, you know, I kind of

279
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: got to check out a little bit on just expecting

280
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: that layer of the Alabama passing attack to show up.

281
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: And that's what makes it difficult, because if they know

282
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: you can't run it on them, they also know you

283
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: can't stretch it on them. Not much left you have

284
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: to defend. Now, you're good enough at quarterback and you're

285
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: good enough at wide receiver. You can still score somewhere

286
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: between twenty and twenty seven. But hey, these point totals

287
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: here are pretty insistent. Twenty four thirty twenty seven, scored

288
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: thirty seven on Tennessee. Six of seven of that was defense,

289
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: So thirty offensive, you got twenty nine, you got twenty.

290
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: That's kind of where they're floating right now. Score twenty

291
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: one yesterday and until further notice, that's what you can

292
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: expect from them, which means they got to kill it

293
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: on defense, and they did again yesterday, and it was

294
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: a wasted effort, which is a shame be cause I

295
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: thought that defense really came to play. So Oklahoma's in

296
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: the thick of this thing. Now they had to have

297
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: this great credit for a Briton vnnibles and his team.

298
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: It's not These two games are not layups that they

299
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: got coming up far from them. Actually, Missouri is still

300
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: very much alive. They dusted themselves off in smoked Mississippi

301
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: State last night and then you got LSU come into town.

302
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: So those aren't layups. But the point is it's all

303
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: in front of you. It's all in front of Bama too.

304
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: It's just again to circle back because I know people

305
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: are tuning in by the thousands live here. I'm not

306
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: sitting here in second guessing mind self for picking a

307
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: five and a half point favorite to cover that lost

308
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: by two points being minus three turnovers. That's just predictive stuff.

309
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: That's just randomized stuff that happens. You can give a

310
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: ton of credit to Oklahoma and still not feel all

311
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: that terrible about how you pick the game. Like I mean,

312
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: there are other games yesterday, there are games throughout the

313
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: season where you pick it and you're just flat out

314
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: on the wrong side. I picked this one and picked

315
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: the wrong team to win. Don't feel terrible about the

316
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: side I was on. So that's about the best I

317
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: can do. That's about the best I could do. The

318
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: one I guess the second question as I move on here.

319
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: That I would have about the impact that's going to

320
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: have on Bama is the last time they lost a game,

321
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: it served them very well. That's kind of what you

322
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: got to hope for. You basically got to hope that

323
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: that result yesterday due to you playing a certain way,

324
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: brings out the same thing in you that the Michigan

325
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: loss brought out in Ohio State last year. Now, that's

326
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: an extreme example to draw from. So if you want

327
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: to look in your own bag, you need look back

328
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: no further than the Florida State loss this year and

329
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: the reaction that brought out. I mean, because there is

330
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: a lot of blame to go around. Look, Milro Milroe

331
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: was probably responsible more so than any single player for

332
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: them losing the Oklahoma game last year. So if you're

333
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: gonna sit there and blame Jalen Milroe, you gotta shovel

334
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: a pretty hefty part of the blame towards Ty Simpson.

335
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: He did not play a good game yesterday. There is

336
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: a ton on his shoulders, A ton of that offense

337
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: is on his shoulders. You know that going in. You

338
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: knew that when you woke up yesterday morning. And now

339
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: for everyone else's part, I mean, if I'm a wide receiver,

340
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: if I'm Ryan Williams, and I know that's the case,

341
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting out here muffing a punt and I

342
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: got balls dropped here and there. It's just it's never

343
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: on one guy. I'm just saying, it's November. These are

344
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,719
Speaker 1: all your players. If you're Kaylin de boor Ryan Grubb,

345
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: you're not scared. Guys are gonna leave for the portal.

346
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: These are your guys. It's November. Tough love on Sunday

347
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: and Monday and then get ready. And I'm not paying

348
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: much attention this week. It's an FCS opponent, but you

349
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: got twelve days until your last conference game and your

350
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: playoff hopes are on the line. Down in Auburn, some

351
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: would say, as it should be. What should have been

352
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: yesterday was we made our way down to Athens, Georgia yesterday,

353
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: quick trip, fueling us every step of the way. We

354
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: appreciate them. The Faultn't Live tour has been rolling. Someone

355
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: asked me yesterday down in Athens, hey, you know what

356
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: you should do? Well, I guess it's not an asks

357
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: a it's a suggestion. They said you should have sort

358
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: of a concert themed t shirt at the end of

359
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: the year that shows all the dates and all the

360
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: stops you made along the tour. YEP, that's kind of

361
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: been the point. That's kind of been the point. We

362
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: don't have it available yet because obviously we don't know

363
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: all the stops we're gonna make. But I do know

364
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: the next one we're gonna make. Man, this earp too small, Jesse,

365
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: I do know the next stop we're gonna make. The

366
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: next stop we're gonna make takes us a long way away,

367
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: so multiple quick trip tanks needed for this trip. But

368
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: I did not go to Oregon earlier this year when

369
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: Indiana was in town. And the reason I didn't go, ironically,

370
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with Oregon. It has to do

371
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: with me having supreme faith, hope and confidence in Lincoln

372
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: Riley and USC. And I had it and it is

373
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: paid off. So Lincoln Riley has come through for us

374
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: here at Payton State, and now we have a top

375
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: twenty showdown or maybe a Top fifteen show down. I

376
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: can't remember what the AP had in Eugene, Oregon this Saturday,

377
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: USC at Oregon Ton on the line. Yes, rain is

378
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: in the forecast, why not let's not bury the lead.

379
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: Of course, it's gonna rain. One guy's gonna wear rain gear,

380
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: the other one's gonna dress like a psychopath. I have

381
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: no clue. I'll probably be a happy middle ground there,

382
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: happy medium, happy. I don't know what the saying is.

383
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: I'm not wearing a happy medium. I can tell you

384
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 1: that we are excited to go there. We went there

385
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: in the spring, we went there last year. We go

386
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: about once or twice a year. So here we go.

387
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: Let me go ahead tweet this out by the way. Now, look,

388
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: I know some people are gonna say, oh, you're just

389
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: following college game. They oh, why don't you go here?

390
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: Why don't you go there? Guys, don't overthink the room here.

391
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: It's the biggest game. It's the biggest game of the week.

392
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: That's why we're going there. We haven't been there all year.

393
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: We intentionally circled this one, so that's why we're going there.

394
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: Because quick trip allows us to go there too. So

395
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: I appreciate you on that. Looking forward to getting up there.

396
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: Usually when we go to Oregon, usually we head up

397
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: there Thursday night spend the whole day Friday. So I

398
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: haven't finalized our travel plans, but i'd imagine would be

399
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: up there for a good chunk of the weekend. All right,

400
00:20:55,240 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: let's continue to move on Georgia to school Texas again.

401
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: Last night, thirty five to ten was the final. This

402
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,719
Speaker 1: game was presented to you by Quick Trip. We were

403
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: there star studded event down in Athens. Man, I've met

404
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: a ton of people last night. It was a great night.

405
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: I don't list everyone, because I'll forget a lot of people.

406
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: Game probably wasn't all that fun to watch for you

407
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: at home. We gave it one and a half Childli,

408
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: which is probably the best news of Kirby Smart's year.

409
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: You don't want to be playing a four and a

410
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: half Chili class. They already did that earlier in the

411
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: year when Bama came in. There. No, you want one

412
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: where folks are tuning out and they're moving on to

413
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: watch Boise State late in the fourth quarter. He loves

414
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: that team. I've said that like five times this year,

415
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: and I want to reiterate it again because I'm gonna

416
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: play some sound for you in a little while. He

417
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: loves this team. It's peaking at the right time. That's

418
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: an added bonus. But there is minimal distraction on that team.

419
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: Minimal off the field issues for Georgia and Kirby Smart

420
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: just a bunch of guys, maybe not his most talented

421
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: roster he's ever had, but it's so obvious. They're all in.

422
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: They do what they're asked, and they dominated last night. Dominated.

423
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 1: It is a classic what we call a She's all

424
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: That moment, And if you've never watched the movie, I

425
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: hate that because I got to go spoiler alert a

426
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 1: little bit on you. Georgia found themselves in a classic

427
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: shees all that moment and they're there right now. So

428
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: at various times this season, they've looked flawed early in

429
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: the season, like people were pointing this out, pointing that out,

430
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: and Kirby Smart himself sounded concerned about this aspect. They're

431
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: that aspect, rightfully so, rightfully so. But in true landybox fashion,

432
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: this is a shoes all that moment for Georgia, and

433
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: it kind of happened last night because Georgia took those

434
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: glasses off and the world started to realize george is

435
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: kind of hot. Wow? Is that Georgia? Is that the

436
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: same Georgia? Who? What could they turn in too? Could

437
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: they become prom queen? Could they win a national title.

438
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: Don't know, don't know, that's why God makes us play

439
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: December and January. But I will say this, just like

440
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: I said last week, felt kind of vindicated last night.

441
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: There was a lot that the model loved about Texas,

442
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: some of the numbers like Texas, and I sat here

443
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: and kind of ignored the numbers last week and I said, nope, nope,

444
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: until further notice. This is a Georgia game. It's not

445
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: a matchup game. I have a philosophy about these big

446
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: program type games. I rarely ever get into deep matchup

447
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: type stuff. It's not an Ex's and Oh show to

448
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: begin with. But a lot of times we'll throw some

449
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: stats out there to back up an argument. But with

450
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: Georgia and Texas, I didn't view it as a matchup game.

451
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: It's more a referendum game, like, for example, the finals

452
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: thirty five to ten. Do you really think there's a

453
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: twenty five point gap in talent differential between those rosters?

454
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: Of course, not no one in Red and Black thinks

455
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: there's a twenty five point gap or a twenty five

456
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: point difference, But it was absolute a referendum on staff,

457
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: and it's a referendum on culture. For instance, You know,

458
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: both of those staffs were well aware of who the

459
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: officiating crew was on this game coming into yesterday. They

460
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: both knew that that crew throws a ton of flags.

461
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: And yet last night Georgia had one for fifteen and

462
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 1: Texas had nine for fifty eight. Fourth quarter Georgia owned it.

463
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: And that's against a team coming out of the by

464
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: and Georgia routes some twenty one to zero in the

465
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Texas in their last three games in about

466
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: a calendar year against Georgia probably the paper popper of

467
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: the year here eighty three combined rushing yards in three

468
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: shots against Georgia in a calendar year. So again, finals

469
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: thirty five to ten. There are a lot of talented

470
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: kids on Texas's team that Georgia wanted and vice versa.

471
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: I mean, they recruit against each other. You look on

472
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: paper this stuff right here, it says it's supposed to

473
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: be a close game. Vegas Odds board says it's supposed

474
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: to be a close. Scam Man, it's so glaring when

475
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: you watch it play out. And I thought, not only

476
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: the game itself, but the Kirby Smart press conference afterwards

477
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: was a classic. It was almost like it was delivered

478
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,719
Speaker 1: to American society at large, but especially football society. I

479
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: just want you to take a list, and you don't

480
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: even have to be a Georgia fan to appreciate this.

481
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's it's the approach we take. We're gonna

482
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 2: we're gonna dominate and try to win the fourth quarters.

483
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 2: It's what we do in practice, it's what we do

484
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 2: in the off season. It's what we build our core

485
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 2: culture around, is being the more physical team. And you

486
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 2: have to recruit physical players and they have to buy

487
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 2: into that process. I don't know that a lot of

488
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 2: these kids nowadays, they want to check. They don't want physicality.

489
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 2: And if you have to check and no physicality, you

490
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 2: end up with nothing. So we're not just getting checks

491
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 2: at our place. We're hitting people. Our kids believe in

492
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 2: down and dirty. They believe in, you know, the seal

493
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: mantra of let's take them to the water, Let's see

494
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 2: who can survive in the water and see who's gonna

495
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 2: tap out first, ring the bell and run from the

496
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: contact contest. And they believe in that, like they believe

497
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 2: in the physical toughness that it takes to win games.

498
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: It's so great, man, You got a bunch of future

499
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: millionaires on that team, playing like their Toledo. It's just

500
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: amazing the mentality he gets them to play with. I'm

501
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 1: around them a fair amount. I'm in a lot of

502
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: these buildings, so I'm in a really good position to compare.

503
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: Not granularly, I'm just talking about general vibe, general temperature,

504
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: the way they go about things, the way walk through

505
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: feels when you watch it on a Friday, like they're

506
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: not tackling. It's just the vibe. It's just the standard.

507
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: It's like squeezing the sponge till it's completely dry and

508
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: then going back and saying, I think we can get

509
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: one more drop out of it, and you're just it's

510
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: the difference in the one percent that you find, just

511
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: the fractions of inches that you find here and there.

512
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: So then it bears itself out because then you play

513
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 1: twelve games a year, really three or four of them

514
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: are against rosters comparable enough to where you kind of

515
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: look across the sideline you see it's like a version

516
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: of us over there. Physically physically they look similar to us.

517
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: So then let's find out. And oftentimes when Georgia makes

518
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: you find out, it's normally you find it out. They're

519
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: kind of just rediscovering what they already knew about themselves.

520
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: So Mike Bobo and his offensive staff have been trashed

521
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: relentlessly in the past, and yet those people have been

522
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: nowhere to be found this year, including last night, when

523
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: Mike Bobo and his offensive staff have done and then

524
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: continued last night to put on clinics free clinics. They're

525
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 1: not even making you pay for them. I mean it

526
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: comes down to players ultimately. Like last night, the padlock

527
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: stat that we circle going into this game, remember it,

528
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: it was broken tackles. You are to have to catch

529
00:27:55,119 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: broken tackles. Georgia had ten and Texas had two. So yes,

530
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: players are making plays, But I don't know how in

531
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: the world you watch them week one to now week

532
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: twelve and watch Gunner Stockton and say anything other than

533
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: staff's just putting on a clinic. Man. He was twenty

534
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: four nine two twenty nine five touchdowns total last night,

535
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: threw one pick, which could have been devastating except I

536
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 1: mean Georgia had enough cushion where it didn't even matter.

537
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: And in the red zone it's just just again the

538
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: inches that make the difference here. Four of four was

539
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: Georgia twenty eight points. Texas was two of three for

540
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 1: ten points. Nice little bonus. If you want to shift

541
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,959
Speaker 1: attention to the other side of the ball for a second,

542
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: think about some of the edges Texas was supposed to have,

543
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: and this includes me. I picked Georgia to win the game,

544
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: and I even thought Texas would have the edge, And

545
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: therefore Stockton had a little more burden on his shoulders

546
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: because they can get after you, and George has not

547
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: really been able to get after the passer a whole lot.

548
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: Georgia consistently, I thought, got more pressure on Arch than

549
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: Texas got on Gunnerstockton. That's against an offensive line at

550
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: Georgia that has been in tatters at various points this year.

551
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: So again, it's almost like they took the plane off

552
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: earlier this year, and by Georgia's standards, there were alarms

553
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: going off in the cockpit all over the place, and

554
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: they never really landed it. They just said, no, we're

555
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: not landed. We don't get to do that. This is

556
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: not spring practice. We've taken off. We got really capable

557
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: people on board here. They paid a lot of money,

558
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: so let's do our jobs and fix the thing. In

559
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: the air, and they have, they have, and now some

560
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: of the rattlings stopped, and some of the red blinking

561
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: lights have gone off, and the alarms have died down,

562
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: And now you start to look at it saying, wow,

563
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: this thing could actually fly. Not only can it fly,

564
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: we may be able to go higher than we are

565
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: right now. Let's pull the stick back a little bit.

566
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: Let's just see how high we can go. That's kind

567
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: of how I felt watching Georgia yesterday slash last night.

568
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: I mean, there are a lot of big names on

569
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: that Texas sideline that hit that tunnel well before the

570
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: gun sounded. This should have been the best of Texas.

571
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: By the way, Texas goes into the by a couple

572
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: of weeks ago and they're as hot as they've been

573
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: at any point offensively this year, and the running back

574
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: room feels like it's getting as healthy as it's been

575
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: all year. And what better spot to be in coming

576
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: out of the by than going toe to toe against

577
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: the team that humbled you twice last year. You want that,

578
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: if you're a competitor, you don't want to shy away

579
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: from that. You want that, and you got it. And

580
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: it was the same story as it's been on the

581
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: road for them all year. Texas is there's a different gear.

582
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: This organization's got a hit. They lost at Ohio State,

583
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: they lost it Florida. They had to squeak past Kentucky

584
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: and Mississippi State on the road, and then they got

585
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: pants by Georgia. They don't play well away from home.

586
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: They don't. And that's a critical part of what separates

587
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: good versus even very good, much less good versus great

588
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: in this sport is being able to scale your performance

589
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: level on the road, and Texas hadn't been able to

590
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,959
Speaker 1: do it. I mean, I still I still think about

591
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,719
Speaker 1: that Hallmark like program defining win or so we thought

592
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: when they went into Tuscal loose, and that feels like

593
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: ten years ago now because it really hasn't been replicated

594
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: over and over again. And I know there's a lot

595
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: of talk in the abstract right now around Texas about

596
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: everything from coordinators and position coaches to like front office personnel.

597
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: And look, truthfully, everybody's got to make adjustments after every season.

598
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: Ryan Day won a national title last year and they

599
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: made some adjustments at Ohio State, so of course Start's

600
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: going to have to make adjustments. But the bigger picture

601
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: issue is you still find yourself this far into the

602
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: tenure asking the same question. So I was asking it

603
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: going into this game, and you still ask it coming

604
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: out of this game. What is Texas football under Steve Sarkisian?

605
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: Asking what they want to be? I'm asking what they are?

606
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: I mean, what is the tried and true can like

607
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: nail something against it? Identity of Texas football under Steve's Sarkisian. Now,

608
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: that's not me giving up on him, far far cry

609
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: from that. Actually, I'm just a believer that it's still

610
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: sort of in an evolutionary phase there. That may not

611
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: be acceptable. If you're a Texas donor or you know,

612
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: you're a big Texas fan and you think you've given

613
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: him long enough to figure it out. Well, if you

614
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: believe that and he's not getting the job done, fire him,

615
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: of course that's not reasonable. I'm just kind of given

616
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: an extreme response to what is a stance that many

617
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: people probably have. So obviously you're not firing him. I

618
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: don't think he's leaving, although crazier things have happened. So

619
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: if Sarks your guy for the foreseeable future, which I

620
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: believe he will be, well, then it's just up to

621
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: him to figure it out. Now, what Steve Sarkisian's really

622
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: good at doing is not panicking, like not freaking out out.

623
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: I always love listening anytime something goes wrong for textas

624
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: always loved listening to his postgame pressers because he always

625
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: makes me feel better about what I just watched. And

626
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: it's never it's never like a smoke screen, it's never gaslighting.

627
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: He put it the right way last night. He understood

628
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: what had just happened to him. But it's never as

629
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: bad as that kind of final score makes it look

630
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: like it is. But the thing about it is, this

631
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: is another opportunity that you probably missed. You went to

632
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: the playoff last year and we went out there to Austin.

633
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: I sat down with him, had him on the show

634
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: in the spring. What did he say? He said, this

635
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,719
Speaker 1: is the year we've built towards. This is the group,

636
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: this is the roster we've wanted on the field, This

637
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: is our Texas we got here a few years ago,

638
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: but this is the first one where it's just fully

639
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: us out there on the field. Well, this is the

640
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: result you've gotten. That's not good enough. I don't think

641
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: he would say it's good enough. So that doesn't mean

642
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: that you just burn it all down, but it means

643
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: you still got to You still got to keep doing

644
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 1: in the fifty thousand foot sense what Kirby Smart's been

645
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: doing in the micro sense to his team every week.

646
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: Georgia never just is what they are. Georgia never just

647
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: is what they are. They're always building, They're always adjusting,

648
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: they're always tweaking. They got a building full of the

649
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 1: best in the country at what they do, and they

650
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: are constantly exhausting every resource imaginable, every angle possible to

651
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: find those extra one percents, those extra fractions of inches

652
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 1: here or there. It's how they refound that ground game.

653
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: It's how twelve weeks in last Night magically there's somewhat

654
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: of a heartbeat of a pass rush on that team.

655
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: They never just are what they are. It's always very,

656
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: very commonplace in sports. Once you get halfway in the season,

657
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: you look at a team, or you look at a

658
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: facet of a team and you say, oh, is what

659
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: it is. That's not language that they use there. I mean,

660
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: I don't imagine them sitting around a staff room on

661
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: a Monday morning and they couldn't get after the quarterback

662
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: like they wanted, or you know, they couldn't run it

663
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: to the right side like they wanted, and they just say, well,

664
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: we kind of are what we are there. Nope, nope,

665
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: we're not running a charity here. This is not volunteer work.

666
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 1: That's not good enough to get paid what we get

667
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: paid to hold ourselves to the standard we hold ourselves to,

668
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: to wear that logo on our chest. That's not good

669
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: enough and it hasn't been good enough for them. And

670
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: it's refreshing to be around, is all I'm saying. To

671
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: be around a place that holds itself to that kind

672
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 1: of standard, doesn't apologize for it, and it's become a

673
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: little bit more of a rare commodity. Ohio State's the

674
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: same way. When you're up there, it doesn't matter what

675
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: the rest of the outside world is doing. It doesn't

676
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: matter which way the rest of the sport's trending. They're

677
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: just non negotiables at the University of Georgia and they

678
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: never bend on them. Doesn't always mean they're nailing it perfect.

679
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: It doesn't alays mean they're going to win every game

680
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: they play, But it's refreshing to be around every highly

681
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: paid staff thinks they are what Georgia is. Every place

682
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 1: where they pay a lot of money to win football games,

683
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 1: thinks they're made of what Georgia is made of. And

684
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: then they play Georgia Texas. I promise you got on

685
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,280
Speaker 1: a plane in Austin and headed over there and thought

686
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 1: they were what Georgia is. They thought they were made

687
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: of the same thing. They've thought that three times. They've

688
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: probably been wrong about it three times. And it's both

689
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: a compliment to Georgia and I guess that's a criticism.

690
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just saying one program is where

691
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: the other is trying to get since an age old

692
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: story in this sport. Look, Bama's given Georgia a ton

693
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: of issues. Okay, so it's not like Georgia is without

694
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: without the ability to understand what I'm putting down here,

695
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: but everything that Bama has been to them, they are

696
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: to Texas right now, and which is crazy because the

697
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: way the SEC's working right now, if we got some

698
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,439
Speaker 1: head to heads with Texas and Bama, maybe Texas would

699
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,919
Speaker 1: own Obama. We're just crazy how the sport works right now.

700
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: I have a major announcement to make. I was just

701
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: giving you time there, Bradley, In case you needed to

702
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: put a super up, you already got it up. Okay,

703
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,479
Speaker 1: our show has amazing numbers. We've done some amazing things

704
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: with the show over the past four years. I am

705
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: eternally grateful to you guys for even putting us in

706
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: position to where we can own the show. We get

707
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: to do whatever we want to with it, We get

708
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: to broadcast it whenever we want, we get to go

709
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: however long. We want just kind of an amazing thing,

710
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 1: an amazing place to be in the evolution of sports

711
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 1: media and stuff like that. That's boring, I don't want

712
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: to talk about that. There's something we've wanted to do

713
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: with the show for a long time. For a long time,

714
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: we wanted to take ownership of the show, right, and

715
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: then we did that. So once you have ownership of

716
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: the show, you can kind of do whatever you want.

717
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: And then the next thing we wanted to do is

718
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,760
Speaker 1: we wanted to start having live events. Don't mean taking

719
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: this show and doing the show live. I mean having

720
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: live events, full on stage, sold out theater, interactive live events.

721
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,240
Speaker 1: And I am very happy to announce that in about

722
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: a month, a little less than a month, we're going

723
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,720
Speaker 1: to do that, and tonight I can announce that Friday,

724
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: December fifth, the night before the SEC Championship game, at

725
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: the Buckhead Theater in Atlanta, Georgia, at seven pm, we

726
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: will have our first live show. Tickets are on sale

727
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: as we speak at paytstatematerial dot com. There's a live

728
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: events tab there. We expect this to sell out very quickly.

729
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: So to our friends there in Atlanta, maybe to our

730
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: friends in College Station who plan on being in Atlanta.

731
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: Maybe our friends in Tuscaloosa plan on being in Atlanta.

732
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: Maybe our friends in Athens plan on being in Atlanta.

733
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 1: And even if they're not, it's a short drive. You

734
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: can make it there anyway. Or maybe you just live

735
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,879
Speaker 1: in Macon or Columbus or Chattanooga and you're a friend

736
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: of the program and you want to make your way down.

737
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: Going to have some supper guests there. It's gonna have

738
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: exclusive merch that you can only acquire at said live event,

739
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: gonna have tons of giveaways, It's gonna be really fun,

740
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be really interactive. I want to stress again

741
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: this is not us broadcasting an episode of the show.

742
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: There is no live feed of this. There is no

743
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: replay of this. The only way you're seeing this one

744
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 1: is if you're there in person. And the fun thing

745
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,720
Speaker 1: about that format is you can kind of say anything

746
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: you want to tell, any story, you want to throw,

747
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 1: any staff or under the bush you want to. After all,

748
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: no one's gonna tell. No one's gonna tell. It's just

749
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: amongst us, right, So we're looking very forward to this

750
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: night before the SEC Championship game. They're in Atlanta, December fifth.

751
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 1: We move on. We've gotten this deep in the show.

752
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: We haven't even mentioned this game. Oh man. We have

753
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: a rule in the show we always talk about the

754
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: winning team first, and yet I don't even know how

755
00:39:58,560 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: to and we may have to break our rule for

756
00:39:59,920 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 1: the game. Texas A and M thirty one, South Carolina

757
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: thirty It was a five Chiali classic. I don't know

758
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: what else to say. How did you look away from this?

759
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 1: Even when it was a blowout in the first half.

760
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 1: It was a blowout in a sense that made your

761
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: jaw hit the ground, like you couldn't believe what was happening.

762
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 1: It's not like AMM got up by four scores and

763
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: then South Carolina found their way back in And this

764
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: was thirty to three. I want you to raise your hand.

765
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 1: I mean, unless you're in class or something like that,

766
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: or you're at the DMV listening to the replay tomorrow.

767
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,439
Speaker 1: You know, don't look like you're a psycho, but raise

768
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: your hand. If you gave up on this game, did

769
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: you turn it off? Did you go and run a

770
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: quick errand get some some stuff from the hardware store?

771
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: Did you go get lunch? Did you I don't know,

772
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: go mow the grass and get ready for the two

773
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: thirty Central time kickoffs and then look up and it

774
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: was all of a sudden thirty one to thirty. Did

775
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: anyone out there do that? I have it on good

776
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 1: authority some of you fell into that trap paper popper step.

777
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 1: Since two thousand and four SEC teams were oh and

778
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty six when trailing by twenty seven

779
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 1: plus they are now one and two hundred and eighty six.

780
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 1: We reached full pucker. If you follow me on Twitter

781
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 1: during Saturdays, every now and then when there's an upset brewing,

782
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: I like to update what I call the pucker meter.

783
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: And I mean, look, if you're familiar with the human

784
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: anatomy and you understand what it's like when things get

785
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 1: a little tense. You understand what the pucker meter probably

786
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: refers to. And the bigger the favorite you are, and

787
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: the closer the upset gets, the higher the pucker meter goes.

788
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 1: The highest we have been so far this year was

789
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: I think like a nine point five and that was

790
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: those Penn State games with James Franklin ladies and gentlemen.

791
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: We reached to ten in College Station, Texas on the

792
00:41:53,000 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: pucker meter yesterday. And here's why the first half was disaster.

793
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: I went to Jim Donnon's house yesterday, big friend of

794
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: the program, former Georgia head coach. I was up in

795
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: Athens already had to kill some time, so we went

796
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 1: and watched the first portion of the Saturday just sitting

797
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 1: in Jim Donnond's basement. Good name of a show, actually

798
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: Jim Donnon's basement. And it was in that basement that

799
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 1: I watched thirty to three unfold, a three twelve to

800
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 1: one thirty two yardage edge for South Carolina in the

801
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 1: first half. They out rushed A and M one oh

802
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: eight to negative nine. In the first half. They had

803
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 1: a three to one turnover edge, which felt like more. Somehow,

804
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: there were multiple cap busters Leonora Sellers found the deep ball.

805
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: The cops couldn't even stop South Carolina, and trust me,

806
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,879
Speaker 1: they tried in vain to stop South Carolina. And all

807
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: that happens, and you feel like an entire season's worth

808
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 1: of misery and bad breaks and busted coverages and everything

809
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: that could go wrong has gone wrong for Texas A

810
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: and M to the point where I legitimately thought to myself,

811
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: at what point was A and M informed kickoff was

812
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: eleven am? Because if you just experimentally, if you took

813
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,879
Speaker 1: a team and told them all week they were playing

814
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: at seven thirty, and then told them when they woke up,

815
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: no games at eleven, get ready, that's it looked worse

816
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: than I would think that would look. But here's the

817
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: thing about college football games. Lots changed over the years.

818
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: One thing has stayed the same. Sixty minutes in regulation,

819
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: they make you play sixty. They make you play a

820
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:33,320
Speaker 1: full sixty. And that was, as it turns out, horrifically

821
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: terrible news for the South Carolina game. Cocks first half

822
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: went great, and then they wheeled the piano out to

823
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: midfield and she came out of the tunnel. Her name

824
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: Sarah McLaughlin. The second half of this game is our

825
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: Sarah McLaughlin special. South Carolina up thirty to three at

826
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,479
Speaker 1: the half, outscored twenty eight zip. The rest of the way,

827
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: South Carolina was out gained three seventy one to seventy

828
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 1: six the second half. An eighteen to four first down

829
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: edge for Texas A and M four sacks to zero

830
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,919
Speaker 1: in the second half. Let's just go a little ping

831
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: pong drive recap here? Shall we touch down A and

832
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: M turnover on down South Carolina, touchdown an M, three

833
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: and out South Carolina. They're still up two scores. Touchdown

834
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: A and M punt South Carolina. If you just hold

835
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: on now, you can still win this game. Touchdown A

836
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: and M three and out South Carolina took them less

837
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: than twenty minutes. And even then, Colin klemb the offensive

838
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: staff at A ANDM find it in the goodness of

839
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: their hearts to offer South Carolina a shot. They run

840
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 1: a gimmick play inexplicably down near the goal line, and

841
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,720
Speaker 1: South Carolina can do nothing with it. Final score thirty

842
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,720
Speaker 1: one to thirty, A game that at one point reached

843
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: ten on the pucker meter ends up being labeled the

844
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: unpuckering South Carolina drops the game, and if you believe

845
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: in snapshots and sound by being what lasts the longest

846
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: in sports and politics, it's going to be a long

847
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 1: time before we can shake the image of Shane Beemer, triumphant,

848
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: fist in the air, going into the halftime locker room,

849
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: only to come out and watch his team implode in

850
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: on itself like a dying star. This was the Sara

851
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: McLaughlin Special of Week twelve. They got to figure it

852
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: out an offensive coordinator. This is not breaking news. They

853
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 1: already fired Mike Schula. This is not something that's going

854
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,280
Speaker 1: to be figured out this year. But poor South Carolina, man,

855
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,919
Speaker 1: I kid, because I care, and I really do care.

856
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: It's a three and seven season. They cannot make a

857
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: bowl game. Now. Obviously the Clemson game becomes your bowl game.

858
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 1: It has to become your super Bowl. This is why

859
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 1: last year was so important for them. Last year, you know,

860
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: I thought the committee got it right. So I'm not

861
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: relitigating that part of it. I just remember saying, hey, Bam,

862
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: I got left out. That's okay. They'll be back in

863
00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: the mix. Every year. Ole Miss got left out. Ole

864
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: Miss has got a shot to be in it. Every year,

865
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: Lane's got Old Miss rolling, They'll be fine. South Carolina

866
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: got close though, in the playoff rankings, and I remember

867
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: saying this is a much bigger blow to South Carolina.

868
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: South Carolina realistically cannot expect to just be in position

869
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 1: every year. They can try, but I mean, history, even

870
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 1: recent history, says that's not realistic, and as it turns out,

871
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: it wasn't. So. I mean, there's Old Miss right back

872
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: in the playoff race. There's Bama right back in the

873
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: playoff race. South Carolina's three and seven. That's why last

874
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: year them missing out on the playoff was such a

875
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: big deal. Also yesterday, keep talking about completely getting lost

876
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 1: in the hurricane that followed it. Mike Elco extended with

877
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 1: Texas A and M, which we expected. Okay, Penn State

878
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: had pursued him and that was, you know, all to

879
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 1: basically serve Texas A and M to get an updated

880
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: contract in front of him. He signs it, and that's great,

881
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 1: great news, wonderful news. I don't care if they ended

882
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: up losing the game. This wonderful news for Texas A

883
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 1: and M. They are now ninety nine percent probability to

884
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: make the playoff. But the November air got to him.

885
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 1: It's funny. I don't know how many times this has

886
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 1: happened to me. You give these caution labels to a

887
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 1: game or a team, So like last week, they go

888
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 1: play Missouri. That was the week a lot of people

889
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 1: kept saying, it's November, you're favored care for, you're ranked

890
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 1: high in the playoffs, you haven't really been here, and

891
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 1: they blow Missouri out. All the stuff that you said

892
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: last week actually applied to the week after that. I

893
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: never ever ever saw this coming. I guess the good

894
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: news of South Carolina is they covered. I never saw

895
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 1: it coming. Marcel Reid moving forward, and I cannot emphasize

896
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: this strongly enough, is still my pick to win the

897
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy. I never gave up on Marcel. Notorious anti

898
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: aggie propagandist Brandon Walker gave up on him and actively

899
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: tempted to throw more Marcel Read's Heisman ticket under the bus.

900
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: I never cashed out, and I could have. I could

901
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: have cashed out yesterday, but I did not. Marcel Reid

902
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,760
Speaker 1: entered yesterday plus eight fifty odds to win the Heisman

903
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 1: at FanDuel. He was now plus five fifty as I

904
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: checked earlier today some say you shouldn't be rewarded for

905
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 1: digging yourself a hole that you then climb out of,

906
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: because you're the one who dug the hole. Not my problem.

907
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 1: I don't make the odds. I just bet them. Marcel

908
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: Reid is currently still very much in the think of

909
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: the Heisman race for a nanamendoz A the favorite. I

910
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: think Julian's saying number two, and then it's Marcel Reid.

911
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 1: I can't remember after that what an experience that one was.

912
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:48,280
Speaker 1: I always think somewhere somebody's watching their first college football

913
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: game in person or on TV, and any given game

914
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: could be that game. This was someone's first college football

915
00:48:55,000 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 1: game yesterday. This person is set up for crushing disappointment

916
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the way because eventually they're going to

917
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: watch Rutgers, and eventually they're going to realize, oh, it's

918
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 1: a come to earth moment for me here, Like I

919
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 1: remember not that this is advice for any of you.

920
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,360
Speaker 1: Please don't misconstrue what I'm about to say is advice.

921
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 1: This is a cautionary tale. When I discovered sports betting,

922
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: I bet two parlays on a Sunday and I hit

923
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: both of them. I think the guy I was betting

924
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: with a local at the time. He returned twelve to

925
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 1: one odds on fourteen parlays at standard juice. So I bet,

926
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,720
Speaker 1: I think twenty dollars a piece. I want two hundred

927
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,439
Speaker 1: and twenty dollars on them. I'm I'm like fourteen years old,

928
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: so this is a huge deal. And I thought that's

929
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: how sports betting worked, and so for a long time

930
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 1: I just bet nothing but parlays, and I quickly realized,

931
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 1: oh oh, the odds on hitting those actually are about

932
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:55,360
Speaker 1: one and sixteen, So even if it returns at a

933
00:49:55,360 --> 00:50:00,320
Speaker 1: twelve to one rate, it's a mathematical guaranteed loser long term. Actually,

934
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: I didn't quickly learn that. It took me years to

935
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: learn that. You know, basic math and stuff. That's gotta

936
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: be what this is going to be. Like if you

937
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: watched that game yesterday and that's college football to you,

938
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: maybe the best of college football, but yeah, Maryland exists, guys,

939
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 1: Northwestern games are going to happen to you, So just prepare.

940
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:22,839
Speaker 1: It's okay, you got it. You gotta let the bad

941
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 1: with the good end. That's all. That's another line from

942
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 1: ses All that ironically we have more added takeaways. I

943
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 1: got a lot of show left to get to, whole

944
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,320
Speaker 1: lot of show left to get to appreciate you guys watching.

945
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:36,400
Speaker 1: We got like thirteen thousand watching live. Subscribe, check and

946
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 1: see if you're subscribed, because we're like seven we're like

947
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 1: nineteen thousand subs away from five hundred k. We need

948
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 1: to get there quickly. Really, there's no rush. I would

949
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:47,919
Speaker 1: just like to get there quickly so that we can

950
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:51,280
Speaker 1: get to celebrating five hundred k. Added takeaway from yesterday.

951
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: Notre Dame beat Pitt thirty seven to fifteen. I thought

952
00:50:56,200 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: it felt fraudulent as a big game. It was a note.

953
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 1: I watched the game, the build up and hype that

954
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 1: it got during the week, I just didn't really get.

955
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: I never thought Pitt had much of a shot in

956
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 1: this game. There was never a question, even after the

957
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: opening drive. Just never a question. Notre Dame victimized a

958
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: young quarterback and it's just part of being a freshman

959
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 1: playing that position. Notre Dame lost the turnover battle in

960
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: this game and still was able to yawn their way

961
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:28,359
Speaker 1: through the fourth quarter. Just all right, I'm gonna say

962
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: something here. I know how Notre Dame twitter is they're

963
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:32,360
Speaker 1: gonna take it the wrong way. It's gonna twist it

964
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:34,799
Speaker 1: out of context. This was not a test for them.

965
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: They passed it with flying colors. But it's not a

966
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:41,879
Speaker 1: test for them as it relates to what they're gonna

967
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: have to do to win a national championship. That's what

968
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: I mean. Like Ohio State plays Rutgers this Saturday, that's

969
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: not a test for them. They may be the best

970
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 1: team in the country. Notre Dame may be the best

971
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 1: team in the country. But as you look, Bradley, do

972
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:54,920
Speaker 1: me a favorite throw Notre Dame schedule back up right

973
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 1: quick as you look at the path they've taken. Like

974
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 1: I strongly suspect Notre Dame is going to be in

975
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs. By the time they get there, it's gonna

976
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 1: have been several weeks since they faced a team that

977
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 1: is even comparable to know what they're gonna see in

978
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:13,839
Speaker 1: the postseason. So they may be clicking on all cylinders

979
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 1: and show it come playoff time, or you could have

980
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 1: a situation where they get exposed in the first round

981
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 1: in which they play. You just don't know. It doesn't guarantee,

982
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: like when you're not being tested down the stretch, It

983
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: doesn't guarantee anything, it doesn't solidify anything. It just means

984
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:35,759
Speaker 1: if something's crept in here that is a flaw, it

985
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 1: may potentially get exposed in the playoff and surprise people.

986
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 1: That's all I caution against. And I'm mainly talking to

987
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 1: myself when I'm like picking Notre Dame and characterizing Notre Dame.

988
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 1: But they're doing exactly what they should be doing in November,

989
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 1: and so is USC. I'm so proud. I'm so proud.

990
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 1: I listen to me. I'm choked up. I took the

991
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:59,399
Speaker 1: stage last week and is like two feet off the ground.

992
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,919
Speaker 1: I guess it's age. I took to this microphone last

993
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 1: week and said something many people thought they would never

994
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 1: hear me say. I said, I'm going to pick Lincoln

995
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: Riley and USC to win a game because I think

996
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 1: they can be physical enough to win it against Iowa.

997
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: This is a really big moment for Southern cal And

998
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,959
Speaker 1: they were down twenty one to seven in the rain

999
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 1: against Iowa. I mean, where else would ioua rather have you?

1000
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:27,359
Speaker 1: It's boa constrict time at that point, and then then

1001
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: it happened. They pitched a shut out the rest of

1002
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 1: the way and they went on a nineteen to nothing

1003
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:36,800
Speaker 1: run again in the pouring rain, and I was so proud.

1004
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Makayle Lemon played at a level yesterday. I

1005
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:41,879
Speaker 1: don't think I've ever seen him play at He's an

1006
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: extremely good player. Man. I had like other I had

1007
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 1: other staffers texting me, you seeing what he's doing? Yeah, yeah,

1008
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,720
Speaker 1: I sure am. And then if you didn't watch the game,

1009
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, man, I have not seen Lincoln

1010
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: Riley that emotional in a long time. But I get

1011
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,799
Speaker 1: it and he should be emotional. And he talked about

1012
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 1: it afterwards. He said this is a culture win and

1013
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 1: not an emphatic win. And they had a slow start

1014
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: again and that's been a pretty chronic issue for them

1015
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 1: this year. They can't be letting that continue. But just

1016
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,319
Speaker 1: you don't always have to immediately go to what went

1017
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: wrong when you win a football game. These are really

1018
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 1: hard to come by, and especially if you're Lincoln Riley,

1019
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,399
Speaker 1: because what have you listened to? All these guys live

1020
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: when they say they blocked the outside noise, every one

1021
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 1: of them, here's the outside noise. Lincoln Riley included, is

1022
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: well aware of what people say about him and what

1023
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 1: they've said about him for a long time, and it

1024
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 1: hasn't been undeserved. Is his teams aren't tough enough to

1025
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,760
Speaker 1: win games like that, and they've made a really concerted

1026
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,399
Speaker 1: effort to change that. There a full credit due to him.

1027
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 1: They've made a really concerted effort to change that. And

1028
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: it's not an overnight fix. And he's talked specifically about

1029
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 1: having to change his philosophy how he runs a program

1030
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 1: that was last offseason, last winter. They talked about it.

1031
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 1: It's obvious they meant it. They've gotten better defensively, but

1032
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 1: this kind of game, man, that's an identity game. That's

1033
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:05,919
Speaker 1: just the way you carry yourself. Can you get down?

1034
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 1: And it's raining. And so when they come back and

1035
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 1: they win that game that should have been emotional and

1036
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:14,360
Speaker 1: it was so good for them. All that does is

1037
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 1: gives them a shot to go to Eugene, Oregon this weekend,

1038
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 1: probably maybe with their playoff destiny in their hands. Maybe

1039
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that a little bit later on. We're

1040
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 1: gonna be there. I know that ain't missing that game.

1041
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna be there. In other news, yesterday, we have

1042
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:40,359
Speaker 1: officially for the moment, averted the acc doomsday scenario. I'm

1043
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 1: not sure if I was pulling for it or not.

1044
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 1: I was just interested to see if it could happen.

1045
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 1: The ACC doomsday scenario is exactly what it sounded like.

1046
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:52,320
Speaker 1: That was the scenario where no ACC team makes the playoff,

1047
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: and trust me, it could have happened. So that got

1048
00:55:55,680 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 1: averted because Duke got smoked by Virginia yesterday. The aim

1049
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: was thirty four to seventeen. Take my word for it.

1050
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 1: It wasn't as close as the final score indicated. Virginia

1051
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:08,359
Speaker 1: had three sixteen through the air, two to twenty four

1052
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 1: on the ground. They had a five forty to two

1053
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: fifty five yardage advantage, and now University of Virginia in

1054
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 1: the driver's seat in the race to get to the

1055
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 1: ACC Championship game. I'll show you my updated playoff predictions

1056
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: and whatnot in a little while. But Georgia Tech survived

1057
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 1: against Boston College, Louisville fell to Clemson. Hey, I got

1058
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 1: to give I give a lot of credit to Dabos

1059
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 1: Winny and his staff. There's been a lot of criticism

1060
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:41,400
Speaker 1: of them this year. There should have been. They've been

1061
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 1: a crushing disappointment as a team. But I don't know

1062
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 1: if you watched Clemson Louisville Friday Night. It was a

1063
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,840
Speaker 1: mistake filled game. It was an ugly game. I'm not

1064
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:54,880
Speaker 1: commenting on the execution level. It left a lot to

1065
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 1: be desired both ways. Clemson is not a good team

1066
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 1: this year, but the fight they played with is something

1067
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:08,239
Speaker 1: that I miss. Like the feeling and the fight and

1068
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 1: the passion that Clemson played with Friday. I miss a

1069
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 1: lot of that because that used to be the old school,

1070
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: pre playoff era style of college football, back when success

1071
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: or failure wasn't solely based on whether you make the playoff.

1072
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 1: Now there's nothing, there's nobody that follows Clemson football that

1073
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 1: will call this year a success. They could win the

1074
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 1: rest of the way, that's not a success. What I'm

1075
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 1: saying is there was this vibe up until fairly recently,

1076
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 1: like the last fifteen years, there was a vibe in

1077
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 1: college football like every game was a one game season.

1078
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: Every Saturday was this huge blessing or Friday in this case,

1079
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 1: and you just played for the logo. It sounds really

1080
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 1: really cornballish now to some people. Mean to me, it doesn't.

1081
00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 1: I love that that was Clemson. So I said that

1082
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 1: Friday night, and of course people come at you, Oh,

1083
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't be saying that if Louisville didn't miss some field goals, well,

1084
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 1: Louisville handed them the game. I don't care. It's not

1085
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 1: even the point I'm trying to make. I just appreciate

1086
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: that I got dudes tapping out left and right, coast

1087
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: to coast once their preseason goals are out the window

1088
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,960
Speaker 1: as a team faking injuries. There are guys faking injuries

1089
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:23,120
Speaker 1: all over the country to stay off the football field.

1090
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 1: And I got guys at Clemson crawling over broken glass

1091
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: to get on the field. So, yeah, this season is

1092
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 1: a disappointment. But they hadn't given up. They hadn't given up.

1093
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: They are limited in their capability as a team, but

1094
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 1: they haven't given up. And I just want to say

1095
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. That's all I want to say. Miami

1096
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 1: floored in C State. We'll see where the committee has them. Miami.

1097
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:48,480
Speaker 1: I still think clearly it's the best at large shot

1098
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:52,919
Speaker 1: for the ACC to have. Georgia Tech's got to play

1099
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 1: Pitt this week. By the way, that was a game

1100
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 1: we thought about going to Pitt at Georgia Tech and

1101
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 1: then Pitt and then we'll Georgia Tech then plays Georgia

1102
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 1: after that, which doesn't matter in the conference standings, but

1103
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 1: yea CEC doomsday scenario looks like they're going to get

1104
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 1: a team in at least for now. Ole Miss in

1105
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 1: Florida was an interesting game yesterday. It was a really

1106
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 1: competitive game. Ole Miss stretched it late, it was right.

1107
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 1: It was a very compacted, one possession type game. Up

1108
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 1: until the very end, the game kind of took a

1109
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 1: back seat. I mean, most people were talking about Lane

1110
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: Kiffin in this game, more so than the game itself,

1111
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 1: And I'm going to talk about that later in the show.

1112
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 1: Ole Miss is pretty clearly in the playoff right now.

1113
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 1: I think they're sitting at like ninety nine percent probability

1114
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 1: to make the playoff. The Kiffin thing has to get solved.

1115
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 1: It needs to get solved sooner rather than later. I'm

1116
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 1: gonna talk about it in the show a little bit later.

1117
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 1: And G five, Josh coming to you live from Nashville. Here,

1118
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 1: it is my duty to inform you that now that

1119
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 1: Navy has taken down USF, currently North Texas has the

1120
00:59:58,040 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 1: best odds out of the G five teams to make

1121
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 1: the playoff. Followed by James Madison, followed by Tulane and

1122
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 1: then a big gap and then everyone else. So this

1123
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 1: is going to be interesting North Texas. Let's say they

1124
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 1: go undefeated the rest of the way, they will presumably well,

1125
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: they'll win the American and presumably they are in the playoff.

1126
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 1: Now that's not my question. My question is James Madison.

1127
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: What happens to them? Because we're going to go over

1128
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 1: this in a little while. The AP poll is out

1129
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 1: for this week. James Madison is ranked like twenty first,

1130
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 1: isn't it, Jesse something like that. So my point is,

1131
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 1: James Madison, if they're already sitting there in the kind

1132
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 1: of top twenty to twenty five range, the Playoff committee

1133
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 1: rankings have kind of loosely mirrored what the AP is

1134
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 1: minor differences. So if the Committee has James Madison ranked

1135
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 1: come Tuesday night, we got to ask ourselves. If they

1136
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:02,439
Speaker 1: beat Washington State and beat Coastal and win the Sun

1137
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:06,640
Speaker 1: Belt against Southern miss I would assume how are they

1138
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 1: going to be ranked? Could they be ranked higher? Like

1139
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: right now in the AP they're the highest ranked G

1140
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 1: five team, is what I'm trying to tell you, So,

1141
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 1: like if all of them went out, is the American

1142
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 1: champ at the very end, gonna jump James Madison. Most

1143
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 1: people think they will. If they don't, James Madison is

1144
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 1: guaranteed a playoff spot. Yes, that's a real sentence coming

1145
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 1: out of my mouth. We're talking about we're talking about

1146
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:31,920
Speaker 1: a battle between North Texas and James Madison to make

1147
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 1: the college football playoff. Think of that what you will.

1148
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 1: I'm just here doing some big Jay journalism in the

1149
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 1: interest of bringing you all the facts. Facts, after all,

1150
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 1: are what this show is built on, and a healthy

1151
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:50,920
Speaker 1: contribution from Academy Sports and Outdoors. Academy Sports and Outdoors

1152
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 1: one stop shop for ninety plus percent of your life's needs.

1153
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:01,800
Speaker 1: If you need hamber meat, they don't have it there.

1154
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 1: If you need a grill, they do have it there. Okay,

1155
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:08,960
Speaker 1: so you're never more than like one degree separation from

1156
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 1: everything you need. This is not the Kevin Bacon thing

1157
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:13,760
Speaker 1: where you have to go six degrees. It's just one

1158
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:17,080
Speaker 1: or two degrees. And you can get a tent there,

1159
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 1: you get a baseball glove there, you can get boots there,

1160
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 1: you can get big league chew there. At that point,

1161
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 1: really I have what I need. Maybe a white T

1162
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 1: shirt here and there, which yes, you can also get there.

1163
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 1: And they've been a longtime partner of the show, and

1164
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 1: we appreciate them. Now they are aware that they don't

1165
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 1: have an academy on every single street corner yet, and

1166
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 1: so you can go to academy dot com. You can

1167
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 1: do these things. That's okay. We prefer the inshore experience,

1168
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 1: but you'll be okay either way. We appreciate it. All right.

1169
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 1: I need to do two things. I need to put

1170
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 1: on some lip bomb. I hate this kind no knock

1171
01:02:57,640 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 1: on Awquall four, but they haven't paid to be a

1172
01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 1: part partner on the show, and it's also the kind

1173
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 1: that you have to manually apply. No give me Berts

1174
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:12,200
Speaker 1: also not a partner on the show. Lane Kiffin's got

1175
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 1: to decide on something here. Ole miss has got to

1176
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 1: decide on something here. I got a lot of people

1177
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 1: asking me, Hey, he's Lane going to Florida. I don't know.

1178
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 1: I don't think he does. The message boards do a

1179
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 1: lot of information on the message boards out there. Look,

1180
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:28,240
Speaker 1: I'm not smart. I'm not as smart as those people,

1181
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:31,280
Speaker 1: So I cannot tell you definitively what's going to happen

1182
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:36,800
Speaker 1: with Lane Kiffin. I think number one that I don't

1183
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 1: think he one hundred percent knows what he's going to

1184
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:42,480
Speaker 1: do again, contrary to message board rumor, I don't believe that.

1185
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 1: Maybe he thinks he knows. It's not time to make

1186
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 1: a decision yet, is my point, but it should be

1187
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: very close to time. Number two, you got to understand

1188
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 1: when we assess the landscape in the situation here, and

1189
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 1: you know that Florida is waiting on an answer from him,

1190
01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:58,840
Speaker 1: ole Miss is certainly waiting on an answer from him.

1191
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 1: Lsu maybe wait on an answer from him. Not to mention,

1192
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 1: there could be NFL jobs that I know way less about,

1193
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 1: but theoretically like they could be waiting on an answer

1194
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 1: from him. But even if the NFL didn't exist, the

1195
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 1: others still apply. You got to remember Lane was radioactive

1196
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 1: for a long time. So anyone trying to put themselves

1197
01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 1: in his shoes, good luck. But anyone who still tries

1198
01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 1: to put themselves in his shoes, you need to understand

1199
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 1: he for a long time sought this. When he went

1200
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 1: down to fau and it was image rehab time, and

1201
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:37,520
Speaker 1: he did it. And then he came to Oxford and

1202
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 1: it was image rehab time, he did it, and that's done.

1203
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 1: For a while. He tried to garner interest from other places.

1204
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:48,320
Speaker 1: It's not even a guarantee he would have gone. I'm

1205
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 1: just saying he tried to garner interest from other places

1206
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 1: and it was a non starter for a lot of places.

1207
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 1: We are not pursuing him for what they would deem

1208
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:04,720
Speaker 1: obvious reasons. They're pursuing him now. This is the first time,

1209
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:07,920
Speaker 1: this is the first cycle that that level of pursuit

1210
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 1: has been there. That matters, Like, imagine yourself pursuing something

1211
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 1: for a long time and all of a sudden, Oh,

1212
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:17,600
Speaker 1: what it's here, I can have it. Well, what's your instinct.

1213
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:20,520
Speaker 1: That's the situation he's in right now now. He's also

1214
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 1: in a really good position at Ole Miss. He's not

1215
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:25,920
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go as far as to say

1216
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 1: he's not performing, because he absolutely is performing, because that's

1217
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:32,840
Speaker 1: his nature. He is not lying when he talks about

1218
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 1: how good he has it there. He'd be lying if

1219
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 1: he said he didn't have everything he needs there. That

1220
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 1: would be the lie. He's never said that. He is

1221
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 1: rightfully acknowledging, man, we got it good here right now.

1222
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:46,800
Speaker 1: He went full Andy Bernard in his press conference last night.

1223
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 1: Did you hear that Jesse. He basically pulled that. You know,

1224
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:53,080
Speaker 1: he didn't even say I wish there was a way

1225
01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:55,040
Speaker 1: to know we're in the good old days before we've

1226
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 1: left him. He freely acknowledged, here I am in the

1227
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 1: good old days. Now it's looking too pretty stupid if

1228
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:02,440
Speaker 1: you're wearing a Florida Gator had a month from now

1229
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:07,080
Speaker 1: looking back on the good old days saying audios. But

1230
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 1: that's another segment for another time. I have not thought

1231
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 1: about it from Lane Kiffin's vantage point. This week a

1232
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:18,440
Speaker 1: whole lot I have thought about it, and especially this

1233
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 1: past weekend. I just thought about it from the Old

1234
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 1: Miss perspective. Lane Kiffin's free to feel however he wants to,

1235
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 1: and he's free to pursue opportunities. But Old Miss is

1236
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 1: free to handle their business too. And I'm just telling

1237
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:33,560
Speaker 1: you this is how I would be if I Roll Miss,

1238
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 1: if I were Keith Carter, if I were the big

1239
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 1: money people there know one full will. I've given this

1240
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:40,800
Speaker 1: guy everything he needs, everything he's ever asked for. There

1241
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:43,160
Speaker 1: are very few knows that Lane Kiffin has gotten an

1242
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 1: ox from Mississippi. At some point, I'm getting an answer

1243
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 1: from him, and it's gonna happen before the Egg Bowl.

1244
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:53,360
Speaker 1: I'm putting a new contract in front of him. Everything

1245
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:55,560
Speaker 1: he says he needs is on this piece of paper,

1246
01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:58,440
Speaker 1: and he's either gonna sign it and we're gonna move

1247
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:00,480
Speaker 1: on and the noise is going to die, and we're

1248
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 1: gonna put out a big announcement right before we play

1249
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 1: Mississippi State like A and M did with Elko yesterday,

1250
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 1: or we're gonna understand. We'll wrap up this regular season

1251
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 1: and then we'll go our separate ways. And I'm just

1252
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 1: telling you, if I'm old Miss, Pete Golding is gonna

1253
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:18,560
Speaker 1: be my head coach in the playoff. If if I'm

1254
01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 1: not good enough for you to stick around in the future,

1255
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:24,560
Speaker 1: then you're not good enough to stick around here when

1256
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 1: it comes playoff time. That's the way I would be.

1257
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 1: You gotta be selfish at some point. You got to

1258
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:32,280
Speaker 1: look out for your best interests at some point. And

1259
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, if I'm old Miss, and I gotta

1260
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 1: acknowledge there's a big difference in the way I Josh

1261
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:42,440
Speaker 1: Pate view this versus the way I would view it.

1262
01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:44,920
Speaker 1: If I roll Miss, I watch it from a distance.

1263
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 1: And he's putting out the Instagram stories and he's putting

1264
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:49,880
Speaker 1: out these vague statements here and there. Hey, I think

1265
01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:52,320
Speaker 1: it's funny. I'm not old miss. If I roll miss,

1266
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 1: it would piss me off to no end because it's

1267
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 1: like watching a ten year old play games about which

1268
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 1: fourth grade class he's gonna be. Dude, I'm paying you

1269
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 1: millions of dollars, offering you millions more, and have given you. Yes,

1270
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 1: it's to everything you've ever asked, and gave you the

1271
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 1: opportunity to resurrect your image on my dime, by the way,

1272
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 1: and you've done your part. You've given me results, so

1273
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 1: it's been mutually beneficial. But dude, like we've both compensated

1274
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 1: each other very fairly, so there's been fair trade here.

1275
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:28,680
Speaker 1: I got to worry about today moving forward, and if

1276
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:31,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna jack around like this, I don't have time

1277
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:33,320
Speaker 1: for it much longer. I mean, we've been through this

1278
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 1: for like a month now, and it's like it's like

1279
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:39,600
Speaker 1: watching a middle school play. This is not what that,

1280
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:41,640
Speaker 1: It's just real life. So I got to get an

1281
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 1: answer from him if I'm all missed, because you know

1282
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:46,720
Speaker 1: what else, you know what else has happened. We've given

1283
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:50,000
Speaker 1: Lane everything he needs. He's given us everything we asked.

1284
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:54,040
Speaker 1: But in the interim what's happened is this job is

1285
01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:55,600
Speaker 1: a way better job than it looked like it was

1286
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 1: five years ago. So all due respect mountains of respect

1287
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 1: to Lane Kid. If i'm old Miss, I want you

1288
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:04,720
Speaker 1: to be my head coach. But if it's not you,

1289
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:07,559
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be okay. I need to know sooner rather

1290
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 1: than later, and I'm gonna be okay because you know

1291
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:12,800
Speaker 1: what I think. I think I could be very competitive

1292
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:16,640
Speaker 1: with Auburn in trying to pursue John Sumrall. That's what

1293
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 1: I think, because there are many places in the SEC

1294
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:24,720
Speaker 1: right now that are set up better to succeed immediately

1295
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:27,599
Speaker 1: than Old Miss. A lot of people have been chasing

1296
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 1: Old Miss from an NIOL perspective for quite a while,

1297
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:35,680
Speaker 1: Like industry insiders kind of know that. I think perspective

1298
01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:38,160
Speaker 1: coaches know that. So I got to get an answer

1299
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:41,800
Speaker 1: from him. Florida. I think he's their plan A and

1300
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:44,120
Speaker 1: I think they're waiting, but also I think Florida would

1301
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:45,800
Speaker 1: love an answer sooner rather than later. I have no

1302
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 1: clue what LSU is doing on the Lane Kiff in Front.

1303
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:52,840
Speaker 1: I assume that they're pursuing him. As well. If I

1304
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 1: had to guess right now, my mind has changed on

1305
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 1: this a few times. If I had to guess, if

1306
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 1: I have to put my name on paper right now,

1307
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:03,960
Speaker 1: and then I don't get to change it again no

1308
01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:06,960
Speaker 1: matter what information comes my way. My guess is he's

1309
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:11,040
Speaker 1: going to go to Florida. That's my guess. No, well,

1310
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 1: no definitive knowledge. Let me put it that way. Maybe

1311
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of knowledge. I do talk to a

1312
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:22,200
Speaker 1: few people, but that's a guess. I don't know. My

1313
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:27,439
Speaker 1: advice to Lane Kifthen, though, would be listen to yourself.

1314
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:33,240
Speaker 1: It's always great advice. Listen to your heart. Now. If

1315
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 1: you believe what you've said publicly, you've already made a

1316
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 1: better case for staying at Old Miss than Old Miss

1317
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:40,240
Speaker 1: has ever made for you to stay at Old Miss.

1318
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:43,599
Speaker 1: If you've been sincere about it. If you haven't been

1319
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:46,720
Speaker 1: sincere about it, that's okay. I get how it works, man,

1320
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:50,720
Speaker 1: I understand. There's no perfect way to navigate this. So

1321
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:53,320
Speaker 1: if you've been insincere about how good you feel about

1322
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:56,080
Speaker 1: Old Miss, you need to take another job. If you've

1323
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:58,920
Speaker 1: been sincere about how you feel about Old Miss, you

1324
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:01,799
Speaker 1: need to not overthink the room and sign a contract extension,

1325
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:05,760
Speaker 1: and let's move on. A lot of people thought action

1326
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 1: was coming today on that front. That was never happening. Again,

1327
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 1: I freely admit I don't know as much as the

1328
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 1: message board posters do. Those are the real insiders out there,

1329
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:20,639
Speaker 1: not me. But that was never happening, but it could

1330
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:25,600
Speaker 1: happen soon. I just want to remind you. I was

1331
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:27,960
Speaker 1: looking at the piece of papers that's sub and we

1332
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 1: ordered like five of them for lunch today and I

1333
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:35,040
Speaker 1: completely forgot this just stands for subscribe. So we do

1334
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 1: this show. It's free, it's year around, it's college football

1335
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:39,680
Speaker 1: and nothing else. Just make sure you subscribe to the channel. Now.

1336
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 1: A lot of times what I ask is I ask

1337
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:47,000
Speaker 1: you guys, subscribe, and then I ask make sure you're

1338
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:49,400
Speaker 1: a subscribed Look down there and see if the button's

1339
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:52,360
Speaker 1: been pressed. If it hasn't, please press it. But then

1340
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:56,760
Speaker 1: a lot of you have just already done that, but

1341
01:11:56,880 --> 01:12:00,160
Speaker 1: you'll still ask is there anything is there like the

1342
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 1: added step that I can take? And what do I

1343
01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:04,840
Speaker 1: tell you? I say, Hey, wouldn't hurt to go get

1344
01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:07,760
Speaker 1: mom and Dad's phone and subscribe for them, Because like

1345
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:10,120
Speaker 1: I've tried to remind you, a million times. It really

1346
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:12,800
Speaker 1: doesn't do anything to you. It helps us. There's no

1347
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 1: money involved, you don't sign up for anything. Just subscribing

1348
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:20,160
Speaker 1: to the channel helps us. Well, what I haven't really done,

1349
01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:25,439
Speaker 1: probably enough, is ask you to capture evidence of doing

1350
01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:29,639
Speaker 1: such things. But I think now that friend of the program,

1351
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:32,320
Speaker 1: Mike has sent us the video that I'm about to

1352
01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:35,400
Speaker 1: show you, I think this probably goes a lot further

1353
01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:39,479
Speaker 1: in demonstrating what we mean about commitment to the brand

1354
01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:42,120
Speaker 1: and getting us to five hundred thousand subs than anything

1355
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:45,000
Speaker 1: I could ever say or beg of you in this microphone.

1356
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:47,759
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna have director Bradley cue up this video

1357
01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:51,439
Speaker 1: because this was sent to us unsolicited the other day

1358
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:55,799
Speaker 1: from Mike. This is paint State material roll at bradley

1359
01:12:56,640 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 1: Dad's house. We have a very cisse with a mission,

1360
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:02,679
Speaker 1: very specific.

1361
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 3: Perhaps perhaps childice worthy, maybe a childice filled by quick drip.

1362
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:14,799
Speaker 1: I don't know, but we're gonna see on. A soldier

1363
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:15,479
Speaker 1: waits out the door.

1364
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:18,880
Speaker 2: He will not sell my mission.

1365
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:26,840
Speaker 1: Watch out, borly, heure, we go be quiet.

1366
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 3: It's nap time.

1367
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:37,960
Speaker 1: What better time to do this when he's sleeping? What

1368
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 1: could we be doing?

1369
01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:41,040
Speaker 2: Mmm?

1370
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:51,920
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, let's see here. We have to be quiet.

1371
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:54,559
Speaker 1: We can't wake him up.

1372
01:13:59,640 --> 01:13:59,920
Speaker 2: Mm hm.

1373
01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:07,400
Speaker 1: Golf clap from Mike. Jaloice of supremacy being shipped tomorrow

1374
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:12,160
Speaker 1: from Mike. Beautifully done. Ten of ten, No further notes.

1375
01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:16,880
Speaker 1: Let's continue what's happening at Penn State. That's not a

1376
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:19,599
Speaker 1: question to you. That's literally what Jesse asks me when

1377
01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:22,320
Speaker 1: he walks in the building every day. My default on

1378
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:27,600
Speaker 1: this position was differently. We all remember James Franklin overtime

1379
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:30,120
Speaker 1: against Oregon, they lose, and then it's just kind of

1380
01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:34,200
Speaker 1: a dead on arrival performance against UCLA. Then they dropped

1381
01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:37,040
Speaker 1: the Northwestern game and he's fired, just like that. The

1382
01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:41,080
Speaker 1: span of seventeen days he's fired, I thought it was ludicrous,

1383
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:43,559
Speaker 1: still do, But you know what, I'm not a Penn

1384
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:46,040
Speaker 1: State donor. I'm not a Penn State alum. It's not

1385
01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:48,360
Speaker 1: my program, it's your program. That's always my stance when

1386
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 1: this sort of thing happens. So you guys decided James

1387
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:54,760
Speaker 1: Franklin wasn't good enough for you anymore. I just said,

1388
01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:57,400
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be easy to upgrade

1389
01:14:57,439 --> 01:15:01,559
Speaker 1: from James Franklin. So I didn't like the firing more

1390
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:05,200
Speaker 1: a matter of principle for me. My principle as always,

1391
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:09,920
Speaker 1: if you don't have a definitive upgrade, don't pay someone

1392
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:13,280
Speaker 1: not to coach for you. It's a pretty common sense stance.

1393
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:20,000
Speaker 1: So I gather that Penn State thought differently, and Penn

1394
01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:22,200
Speaker 1: State thought there was no other choice. We gotta fire him.

1395
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:25,240
Speaker 1: We got to get rid of him so that we

1396
01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:29,720
Speaker 1: can start our coaching search. And the plan was there,

1397
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:32,080
Speaker 1: the plans just in place. That's what everyone thought. Penn

1398
01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:34,600
Speaker 1: State folks thought the plan was in place, and a

1399
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:38,800
Speaker 1: grand Slam was the plan. It's great, but that's not

1400
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:41,760
Speaker 1: a plan. Hoping you can hit a grand Slam is

1401
01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:46,000
Speaker 1: not a plan because if you swing and miss in baseball,

1402
01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:48,880
Speaker 1: it's just strike one, Okay, they give you at least

1403
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:52,479
Speaker 1: two more shots at it. In coaching searches. You swung

1404
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:57,240
Speaker 1: for Mike Elko, you'll swing for Kaylin de Boor. Pete

1405
01:15:57,320 --> 01:16:01,719
Speaker 1: Nakos of on three has his hotboard here on our screen.

1406
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:03,840
Speaker 1: Mike Elko, you can cross his name off the list.

1407
01:16:04,320 --> 01:16:06,160
Speaker 1: He just re upped with Texas A and M I

1408
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:08,760
Speaker 1: don't think Kaylin de Boor is a series option for him.

1409
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:12,880
Speaker 1: So what are we left with? And Remember, we're looking

1410
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:17,479
Speaker 1: to upgrade from James Franklin. As far as I can tell,

1411
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:20,040
Speaker 1: there's no real contingency past the Grand Slam phase of

1412
01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:22,760
Speaker 1: the Penn State coaching search. So they missed on the

1413
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 1: Grand Slam. Now we got to hope for a home run.

1414
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:29,840
Speaker 1: Do we think this list includes home runs? Do we

1415
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:31,920
Speaker 1: think Clark Lee going up there would be a home run?

1416
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:35,200
Speaker 1: Eli Drinkwitz from Missouri would be a home run. Jeff Brahm,

1417
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:40,160
Speaker 1: Matt Campbell, Manny Diaz, Brian Hartline, Will Stein, Joe Brady.

1418
01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:42,160
Speaker 1: There could be a future Hall of Famer on that

1419
01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:45,719
Speaker 1: list for all I know. And I've got my candidate

1420
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:48,240
Speaker 1: on that list, which I'll talk about in a second.

1421
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:52,160
Speaker 1: Point being there's no definitive upgrade there from James Franklin.

1422
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 1: Anyone who suggests otherwise is trying to fool themselves. You're

1423
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:01,760
Speaker 1: not gonna hoot me on it. So right now, out

1424
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:04,800
Speaker 1: of all the coaches available on the market, you know

1425
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:07,559
Speaker 1: who the best option for Penn State is James Franklin.

1426
01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 1: But you can't go rehire James Franklin, Which brings me

1427
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:13,200
Speaker 1: back to my original point. What were we doing here?

1428
01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:16,000
Speaker 1: So what are the candidates seeing This is one of

1429
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:18,960
Speaker 1: the most critical pieces of feedback that I need to

1430
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:21,920
Speaker 1: remind people about the Penn State coaching search. I love

1431
01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:24,599
Speaker 1: the program, so I got no knock on the program.

1432
01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:26,960
Speaker 1: I'm not looking to take over as head coach. There

1433
01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:31,040
Speaker 1: the people who were looking at the job that could

1434
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:35,200
Speaker 1: potentially be getting offerers and are qualified to be the

1435
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:38,840
Speaker 1: head coach at Penn State, here's what they see. You're

1436
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 1: gonna pay him a lot of money. That's great. They're

1437
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:43,080
Speaker 1: going to compete in the Big ten. That's great. You

1438
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:45,880
Speaker 1: just fired a ten win head coach, which means the

1439
01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:48,200
Speaker 1: replacement's got to do as good or better than that

1440
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:51,760
Speaker 1: guy was doing. And you tore your recruiting class to

1441
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:56,360
Speaker 1: shreds voluntarily. You didn't have to fire Franklin when you did.

1442
01:17:56,960 --> 01:18:01,040
Speaker 1: You fired him when you did. You've gotten very little traction,

1443
01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:03,200
Speaker 1: at least as far as I can tell. On your

1444
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:05,479
Speaker 1: coaching search. All you've done is find out who doesn't

1445
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:08,479
Speaker 1: want your job. So far, and in the aggregate, Jesse,

1446
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:12,920
Speaker 1: how many de commitments so far seventeen D commits You

1447
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:14,920
Speaker 1: normally sound like twenty five or thirty in a class.

1448
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:19,680
Speaker 1: Seventeen D commitments so far, So what prospective future candidates.

1449
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:22,519
Speaker 1: Look at is, dude, I got to be a double

1450
01:18:22,600 --> 01:18:25,240
Speaker 1: digit win per season guy. Just to make these folks happy.

1451
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:28,680
Speaker 1: They're gonna want to win immediately. I may have a

1452
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 1: really really big rebuild on my hands. And for what,

1453
01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: that's what they see. I'm just telling you that's what

1454
01:18:38,040 --> 01:18:40,720
Speaker 1: they see. So Bradley, do me a favorite. Throw up

1455
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:43,519
Speaker 1: the Nakos hot board right quick? On Three's Pete Nkos's

1456
01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:47,920
Speaker 1: hot boorn, Mike Elko not happening, Clark's there, Eli's there.

1457
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:52,439
Speaker 1: Here's what's funny. I don't know, like I've heard the

1458
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:55,600
Speaker 1: level of seriousness some of these other candidates are the

1459
01:18:56,280 --> 01:18:58,599
Speaker 1: one like my guy on There's Matt Campbell. And I've

1460
01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:01,240
Speaker 1: spoken about Matt a lot on the show. Oh Matt

1461
01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:04,120
Speaker 1: Campbell's biggest flaws. He doesn't really play the game the

1462
01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:08,240
Speaker 1: same way other guys do. He refuses to be a

1463
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:12,400
Speaker 1: candidate for this stuff during a season, and therefore his

1464
01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:14,559
Speaker 1: name is not really involved in a lot of coaching

1465
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:17,439
Speaker 1: searches because the earliest that he's going to allow his

1466
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:19,360
Speaker 1: name to be involved in a coaching search is the

1467
01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:22,600
Speaker 1: end of November. And even then you come check on

1468
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:24,800
Speaker 1: him and he may or may not be interested. But

1469
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:27,840
Speaker 1: the people who push back on Matt Campbell as a

1470
01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:32,840
Speaker 1: legitimate candidate just floor me. Their reasons just floor me.

1471
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:36,479
Speaker 1: I'm not going to relitigate all this. Like Matt Campbell's

1472
01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:39,040
Speaker 1: a stud as a head coach. I think he is

1473
01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:42,040
Speaker 1: perfectly cut out for the Penn State job. Like the edge,

1474
01:19:42,200 --> 01:19:46,120
Speaker 1: the grit, the attention to detail, the different way you

1475
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:50,759
Speaker 1: have to sell Penn State, the understanding of placing premium

1476
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:55,680
Speaker 1: on eval and development, the magnetism that the guy's programs have,

1477
01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:59,800
Speaker 1: how much discount players take to play for him and

1478
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:03,400
Speaker 1: the staffers. Everything you would want in a Penn State

1479
01:20:03,439 --> 01:20:05,519
Speaker 1: coach he has. Here's what turns a lot of people off.

1480
01:20:06,720 --> 01:20:08,920
Speaker 1: And this is what's really stupid about this whole process.

1481
01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:13,040
Speaker 1: Matt Campbell sucks at promoting Matt Campbell because he doesn't

1482
01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:16,960
Speaker 1: really care to do it. If I changed nothing about

1483
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:20,840
Speaker 1: that guy, other than publicizing the head coaching jobs he

1484
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:23,919
Speaker 1: has turned down, he would be viewed as a premium

1485
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:26,960
Speaker 1: candidate for some of these jobs. It's not my business

1486
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:30,760
Speaker 1: to float that. He can have his representation do it.

1487
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:33,840
Speaker 1: If he wants to, or if his representations comfortable with

1488
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:37,880
Speaker 1: it being done, then it could happen. Matt Campbell's been

1489
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:41,439
Speaker 1: the guy for a number of the big openings over

1490
01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:44,840
Speaker 1: the past several years, and I'm firmly convinced that there

1491
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:47,400
Speaker 1: is a subset of maybe the Penn State fan base

1492
01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:51,000
Speaker 1: that if they were equipped with nothing more than that information,

1493
01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:53,719
Speaker 1: would all of a sudden be totally open to Matt Campbell,

1494
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:55,840
Speaker 1: Because all of a sudden, it's like, whoa, he was

1495
01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:58,880
Speaker 1: good enough for them, maybe he is good enough for us.

1496
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:02,680
Speaker 1: That's how stupid of this stuff is. Also, Pat Fitzgerald's

1497
01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:05,479
Speaker 1: just sitting there as much as I tapped Matt Campbell,

1498
01:21:05,960 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 1: Pat Fitzgerald, like, who really says no to that? Especially

1499
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:13,639
Speaker 1: if staffing properly. I don't know they're watching us in Adams, Tennessee,

1500
01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:19,200
Speaker 1: Mission Viejo, California, and Spearfish, South Dakota. Good people there.

1501
01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:24,080
Speaker 1: Let's move on. One more request we got before I

1502
01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:27,240
Speaker 1: get to the week thirteen eight people, and I've got

1503
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:31,320
Speaker 1: to re re update. No, just update, not reupdate, it's redundant.

1504
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:34,519
Speaker 1: I've got to update my playoff predictions. I did a

1505
01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:36,439
Speaker 1: lot of critical thinking on the flight home last night,

1506
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:39,720
Speaker 1: the thirty eight minute flight home last night. Oh, the

1507
01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:43,000
Speaker 1: Arkansas coaching search has taken some twists and turns. Look,

1508
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:44,840
Speaker 1: they're trying to leave people to believe they didn't want

1509
01:21:44,920 --> 01:21:47,960
Speaker 1: James Franklin. Of course they wanted James Franklin. Doesn't look

1510
01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:51,800
Speaker 1: like James Franklin wanted Arkansas. So that ship, it looks

1511
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:54,880
Speaker 1: like it sailed, but it hasn't really totally sailed until

1512
01:21:54,920 --> 01:21:57,880
Speaker 1: James Franklin takes another job or Arkansas announced as a

1513
01:21:57,920 --> 01:22:00,760
Speaker 1: higher looks like, at least for the Sunday evening, that

1514
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:03,360
Speaker 1: ship has sailed. Now, this one's always been a little

1515
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:05,720
Speaker 1: bit different. I've tried to allude to this as much

1516
01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:09,320
Speaker 1: as possible. It's a very, very weird cycle because you'll

1517
01:22:09,400 --> 01:22:12,240
Speaker 1: notice you've got a coaching search at Penn State, and

1518
01:22:12,280 --> 01:22:14,000
Speaker 1: you've got a coaching search at Arkansas, and you got

1519
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:18,080
Speaker 1: one of Virginia Tech and Florida and LSU Auburn. And

1520
01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:21,840
Speaker 1: when Pete puts out his hot boards, Pete's not making

1521
01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:25,320
Speaker 1: that stuff up. He's just regurgitating what insiders are telling him.

1522
01:22:25,479 --> 01:22:30,000
Speaker 1: It's like the same ten names. And again, what drives

1523
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:33,840
Speaker 1: me up a wall about this entire process, and the

1524
01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:37,800
Speaker 1: reason you know it's so flawed in concept, is this

1525
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:41,400
Speaker 1: is a sport where thousands of people coach. This is

1526
01:22:41,479 --> 01:22:43,479
Speaker 1: a sport, even at the higher levels, where you've got

1527
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:46,840
Speaker 1: dozens to hundreds of head coaches or people qualified to

1528
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:49,800
Speaker 1: be head coaches, And yet inevitably when jobs come open,

1529
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:54,160
Speaker 1: it's the same list of recycled names. And I'm not

1530
01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:57,200
Speaker 1: speaking ill of these guys. I'm just saying, does it

1531
01:22:57,360 --> 01:23:00,599
Speaker 1: not make it pretty blatantly obvious? Why then, are who

1532
01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:03,680
Speaker 1: they are? Then you don't have to really be a

1533
01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 1: math whiz to put two and two together and understand

1534
01:23:06,240 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 1: how these names become names. Okay, that's like when I

1535
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:12,200
Speaker 1: talk about Campbell. It's the reason why I talk about

1536
01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:14,160
Speaker 1: him the way I do. The only reason the dude's

1537
01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:15,960
Speaker 1: name's not Hotter is because he doesn't have the right

1538
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:18,400
Speaker 1: people pushing his name. It's not because he's ill qualified

1539
01:23:18,479 --> 01:23:22,559
Speaker 1: for the job. So Arkansas's open. It's been pretty obvious

1540
01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:27,479
Speaker 1: for a while. Arkansas's got to be comfortable kind of

1541
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:30,759
Speaker 1: running number two or number three in the pack instead

1542
01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:34,160
Speaker 1: of leading the pack. Because if you're after some of

1543
01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:37,080
Speaker 1: the same guys that other programs with better jobs are,

1544
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:40,200
Speaker 1: you've got to wait. It sucks. You either gotta wait

1545
01:23:40,280 --> 01:23:42,080
Speaker 1: or you gotta go a different direction. You're free to

1546
01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:44,800
Speaker 1: go a different direction. Candidly, I think they should, and

1547
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:47,320
Speaker 1: I'll give you my feedback for what it's worth in

1548
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:50,080
Speaker 1: a second. But here's the great catch twenty two of

1549
01:23:50,200 --> 01:23:55,160
Speaker 1: head coaching searches at Arkansas really underrated job. If it's

1550
01:23:55,160 --> 01:23:58,759
Speaker 1: harnessed properly. People at Arkansas get so tired of listening

1551
01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:01,200
Speaker 1: to this. But someone's watching it Richmond, Virginia that knows

1552
01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:05,040
Speaker 1: very little about the Arkansas job. The Arkansas job could

1553
01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:09,200
Speaker 1: be a rocket ship if the JB Hunts and the

1554
01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:12,320
Speaker 1: Tysons and the Walmarts are on board, and that means

1555
01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:15,679
Speaker 1: fully infusing the program with cash. That's what it means

1556
01:24:15,720 --> 01:24:18,040
Speaker 1: to be on board there now, in the best of worlds,

1557
01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 1: that's happening. But I say catch twenty two. That doesn't

1558
01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:25,240
Speaker 1: sound like a cash twenty two That just all sounds good. No, well,

1559
01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:27,639
Speaker 1: it's good when you get big money investing in your program.

1560
01:24:28,040 --> 01:24:30,880
Speaker 1: The catch twenty two is when big money invests in

1561
01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:34,120
Speaker 1: your program, they want oversight. They won't say so in

1562
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:37,600
Speaker 1: your programming or program Actually in programming. It works that

1563
01:24:37,640 --> 01:24:41,439
Speaker 1: way in media as well. The downside to big money

1564
01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:44,120
Speaker 1: investing in your program and therefore wanting some input in

1565
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:46,840
Speaker 1: your program is ninety nine times out of one hundred.

1566
01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:49,160
Speaker 1: The big money did not make their money by coaching

1567
01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:53,000
Speaker 1: football or being associated with college athletics in any way.

1568
01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:56,360
Speaker 1: They made it selling chicken, they made it building a

1569
01:24:56,479 --> 01:25:01,439
Speaker 1: trucking conglomerate, they made it selling things wholesale. They didn't

1570
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:05,240
Speaker 1: make it by coaching offensive line. And yet they want

1571
01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:07,679
Speaker 1: input on people who are going to do such things.

1572
01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:14,800
Speaker 1: I would imagine that the search at Arkansas is operating

1573
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:18,439
Speaker 1: under those kind of parameters where you're asking for big

1574
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:21,240
Speaker 1: money to be involved. Big money wants to say, and

1575
01:25:21,320 --> 01:25:23,200
Speaker 1: who's going to get hired here? And it's not even

1576
01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:26,519
Speaker 1: unfair as a concept. Hey, if I'm giving you millions

1577
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:29,320
Speaker 1: of dollars, I'm not just writing the blank check and

1578
01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:31,920
Speaker 1: saying let me know how you spend it. So I

1579
01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:36,600
Speaker 1: get it. I get it. It's just sometimes, in like

1580
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:40,760
Speaker 1: a utopian college football sense, you wish people knew what

1581
01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:45,080
Speaker 1: they don't know, but that's not realistic. So a couple

1582
01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:46,960
Speaker 1: of different ways I think they want to go there.

1583
01:25:47,400 --> 01:25:49,360
Speaker 1: There are some folks who want to go cal two

1584
01:25:49,360 --> 01:25:53,839
Speaker 1: point zero. You just went under unique circumstances to Kentucky

1585
01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:56,679
Speaker 1: and got John Cali Perry to come be your basketball coach,

1586
01:25:57,439 --> 01:25:59,519
Speaker 1: and there are folks who want to recreate that in football.

1587
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:01,360
Speaker 1: There's one way to do that, and that's to go

1588
01:26:01,439 --> 01:26:03,800
Speaker 1: get Dabos twenty from Clemson. But I have no reason

1589
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:06,760
Speaker 1: to believe Dabos wwenty is available or is in any shape,

1590
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:09,200
Speaker 1: form or fashion looking to leave Clemson. And that's the

1591
01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:13,599
Speaker 1: only guy that would qualify as cal as being someone

1592
01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:18,560
Speaker 1: who has an established resume and through some unique circumstances,

1593
01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:21,160
Speaker 1: is a little unhappy where he's at and they're both

1594
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:24,680
Speaker 1: ready to go their own way, and you get him.

1595
01:26:25,320 --> 01:26:28,639
Speaker 1: If that's not going to happen, well, then you've either

1596
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:31,720
Speaker 1: got to settle for fishing from the same pool of

1597
01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:34,840
Speaker 1: candidates that five other jobs are, or you got to

1598
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:38,280
Speaker 1: go a different direction. So I tweeted out Friday, I

1599
01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:41,120
Speaker 1: have the guy that I think Arkansas should hire, but

1600
01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:42,680
Speaker 1: I didn't give a name, and then people thought I

1601
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:45,760
Speaker 1: was talking about coach Oh I was, and I was

1602
01:26:45,760 --> 01:26:48,400
Speaker 1: talking about Goalish down at South Florida. Now I've been

1603
01:26:48,479 --> 01:26:51,040
Speaker 1: high on him for a while, and I'll just fully

1604
01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:53,880
Speaker 1: tell you if Arkansas isn't fully aligned and the big

1605
01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:56,040
Speaker 1: money up there isn't fully aligned, no one's really gonna

1606
01:26:56,040 --> 01:26:59,040
Speaker 1: win there, Alex Golish or anyone else. When I look

1607
01:26:59,120 --> 01:27:03,200
Speaker 1: at Arkansas, Okay, my opinion of Arkansas is, I've got

1608
01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:05,200
Speaker 1: to have someone with an edge. I've got to have

1609
01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:08,040
Speaker 1: someone who's innovative. I've got to have someone who knows

1610
01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:10,640
Speaker 1: the league. I've got to have someone who has the

1611
01:27:10,720 --> 01:27:13,080
Speaker 1: ability to capture the imagination of the fan base and

1612
01:27:13,160 --> 01:27:16,000
Speaker 1: the donor base, and someone who can attack Dallas in recruiting.

1613
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:20,200
Speaker 1: I think Alex Goulish can do all those things. There's

1614
01:27:20,200 --> 01:27:23,080
Speaker 1: an attitude that he carries himself with that I think

1615
01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:27,759
Speaker 1: would fit perfectly at Arkansas. There's a level of offensive innovation,

1616
01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:31,080
Speaker 1: there is an understanding of the league from his time

1617
01:27:31,120 --> 01:27:35,479
Speaker 1: at Tennessee, and there is a relentlessness in that. I

1618
01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:38,479
Speaker 1: don't think that guy would be denied until he got

1619
01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:41,479
Speaker 1: the infusion of donor support he needs there. And I

1620
01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:44,519
Speaker 1: don't think therefore they would be denied until they got

1621
01:27:44,600 --> 01:27:46,759
Speaker 1: the talent that they need to get out of Dallas,

1622
01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:49,679
Speaker 1: which has become much tougher. And it is the key

1623
01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:53,280
Speaker 1: barrier that any agent that doesn't want their client taking

1624
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:56,720
Speaker 1: that job points out. They say, once upon a time,

1625
01:27:57,600 --> 01:27:59,880
Speaker 1: Arkansas flourish in Dallas, Okay. But there are a lot

1626
01:27:59,880 --> 01:28:01,840
Speaker 1: of kids who went to Arkansas Calls they wanted to

1627
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:05,000
Speaker 1: play in the SEC. But now Texas is in the

1628
01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:09,160
Speaker 1: ACC and way closer to Dallas. Oklahoma is closer to

1629
01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:12,120
Speaker 1: Dallas than Arkansas is, and those are both better places

1630
01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:16,040
Speaker 1: to go, candidly. Not only that, in the nil era,

1631
01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:19,240
Speaker 1: SMU has got it sacked together, and so you get

1632
01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:23,160
Speaker 1: all these places that are like siphoning the talent from Dallas,

1633
01:28:23,200 --> 01:28:24,680
Speaker 1: and you can't get down there and get enough of it,

1634
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:28,200
Speaker 1: and you just die on the vine without it. So

1635
01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:31,880
Speaker 1: like Golish, I think is a serious candidate for the job.

1636
01:28:31,960 --> 01:28:33,760
Speaker 1: I don't know who leads. I don't think Arkansas knows

1637
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:36,639
Speaker 1: who leads right now. I just think if he ended

1638
01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:38,519
Speaker 1: up being the guy, I think he'd do really good

1639
01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:41,360
Speaker 1: things there. I think you guys could do to really

1640
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:44,080
Speaker 1: good things if you went to paystatemterial dot com right now,

1641
01:28:44,320 --> 01:28:46,840
Speaker 1: because the tis the season collection is there and I

1642
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:49,280
Speaker 1: don't even need tout the Christmas sweaters anymore because they're

1643
01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:51,920
Speaker 1: moving just fine on their own. I'm just saying, if

1644
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:56,400
Speaker 1: you're looking to update the wardrobe as November eventually turns

1645
01:28:56,400 --> 01:28:58,479
Speaker 1: into December, or if you know someone who watches the

1646
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:00,600
Speaker 1: show and you're looking to purchase something for him, I

1647
01:29:00,720 --> 01:29:05,120
Speaker 1: highly advise the Christmas sweater collection there. Those things are moving.

1648
01:29:05,400 --> 01:29:07,439
Speaker 1: We have kept them in stocks so far, but those

1649
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:12,760
Speaker 1: things are moving. Let's move on. The ap pole has

1650
01:29:12,840 --> 01:29:17,240
Speaker 1: dropped for week thirteen, and we have some movement here.

1651
01:29:18,160 --> 01:29:19,720
Speaker 1: I got a couple of them circled that I need

1652
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:21,640
Speaker 1: to talk about. There we go, Bradley, just put it

1653
01:29:21,720 --> 01:29:25,040
Speaker 1: on the screen. Look at number twenty one. I'll read

1654
01:29:25,080 --> 01:29:26,360
Speaker 1: it my bad. I know a lot of you listen

1655
01:29:26,439 --> 01:29:32,560
Speaker 1: on podcasts. So twenty five to twenty one is Houston, Twulane, Missouri,

1656
01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:37,680
Speaker 1: North Texas and James Madison. Now, JMU being twenty one

1657
01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:41,559
Speaker 1: is really interesting. They're the highest ranked G five champ.

1658
01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:44,960
Speaker 1: Notice number twenty two and number twenty four are the

1659
01:29:45,040 --> 01:29:49,720
Speaker 1: two highest ranked American teams. I said, James Madison's the

1660
01:29:49,800 --> 01:29:52,519
Speaker 1: highest ranked G five champ. They haven't won a championship yet,

1661
01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:55,559
Speaker 1: they're the highest ranked G five team. Problem with them,

1662
01:29:55,680 --> 01:29:59,960
Speaker 1: theoretically is if they went out, it still looks like

1663
01:30:00,200 --> 01:30:04,639
Speaker 1: the American champ will jump them because I guess North

1664
01:30:04,680 --> 01:30:06,720
Speaker 1: Texas and Tulane are set to play each other that's

1665
01:30:06,760 --> 01:30:09,000
Speaker 1: what they're on track to do. And if one of

1666
01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:11,240
Speaker 1: them beats the other, they'll get an added ranked win

1667
01:30:11,320 --> 01:30:13,519
Speaker 1: and that'll be enough I think to jump them over JMU.

1668
01:30:15,280 --> 01:30:18,160
Speaker 1: But that's not a certainty. We don't know that for sure,

1669
01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:20,240
Speaker 1: So let's just keep an eye on that. Number twenty

1670
01:30:20,360 --> 01:30:23,960
Speaker 1: is Tennessee. I'm gonna point out something about Tennessee in

1671
01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:28,400
Speaker 1: a second nineteen, Virginia eighteen, Michigan. Texas drops seven spots.

1672
01:30:28,800 --> 01:30:33,800
Speaker 1: They're number seventeen. I think I think they're done. I

1673
01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:38,519
Speaker 1: think they're done. They're not mathematically totally eliminating. I think

1674
01:30:38,520 --> 01:30:42,879
Speaker 1: they're out for now. That's again counterintuitive, but you understand

1675
01:30:42,880 --> 01:30:46,559
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. USC's number sixteen. Okay, So two things

1676
01:30:46,640 --> 01:30:50,719
Speaker 1: right here. Tennessee at number twenty, Vandy's at number twelve.

1677
01:30:51,200 --> 01:30:54,439
Speaker 1: So Vandy is going to play Kentucky this week, and

1678
01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:57,320
Speaker 1: if they beat them, I mean, Vandy may have a

1679
01:30:57,400 --> 01:31:00,120
Speaker 1: playoff spot on the line when they play Tennessee. Some

1680
01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:03,040
Speaker 1: people don't think that. Some people think Vandy is out

1681
01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:05,639
Speaker 1: no matter what. I don't know how you can say

1682
01:31:05,680 --> 01:31:07,360
Speaker 1: that right now, because you don't know what else is

1683
01:31:07,400 --> 01:31:09,519
Speaker 1: going to happen. Here's going to be my problem. I

1684
01:31:09,600 --> 01:31:12,040
Speaker 1: guarantee you this is gonna happen. Let's say Vandy does

1685
01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:14,840
Speaker 1: beat Kentucky this week and they go to Tennessee. You

1686
01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:17,200
Speaker 1: see Tennessee's number twenty there. This is really where you

1687
01:31:17,320 --> 01:31:22,439
Speaker 1: find out whether your worldview of college football and another

1688
01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:29,360
Speaker 1: person's worldview of college football are compatible. If Vandy beats

1689
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:33,799
Speaker 1: Tennessee at the end of the season and the final

1690
01:31:33,880 --> 01:31:37,519
Speaker 1: AP poll comes out and Tennessee's unranked, did Vandy get

1691
01:31:37,560 --> 01:31:39,800
Speaker 1: a ranked win to end the season? There are some

1692
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:42,960
Speaker 1: people who will look you dead in the eye and say, no,

1693
01:31:43,720 --> 01:31:46,439
Speaker 1: if Tennessee's not ranked when the final poll comes out,

1694
01:31:47,320 --> 01:31:51,040
Speaker 1: that wasn't a ranked win for Vanderbilt, which is insane

1695
01:31:52,280 --> 01:31:56,600
Speaker 1: because the only difference between Tennessee being number twenty in

1696
01:31:56,720 --> 01:31:59,439
Speaker 1: the second to last week of the poll and being

1697
01:31:59,600 --> 01:32:03,439
Speaker 1: unranked at the end is that Vandy beat them when

1698
01:32:03,479 --> 01:32:07,799
Speaker 1: they were ranked. But try as I might, I cannot

1699
01:32:07,840 --> 01:32:11,120
Speaker 1: bring people around to this way of thinking. So Vandy

1700
01:32:11,160 --> 01:32:12,680
Speaker 1: can go beat Tennessee and it won't be kind of

1701
01:32:12,720 --> 01:32:14,760
Speaker 1: as a ranked win for him unless they beat him

1702
01:32:14,760 --> 01:32:17,280
Speaker 1: by one point and the committee drops Tennessee to twenty five,

1703
01:32:18,040 --> 01:32:20,920
Speaker 1: and that'll be a nice little bonus for Vanderbilt, Georgia.

1704
01:32:20,960 --> 01:32:24,639
Speaker 1: TeX's at fifteen. Miami jumped two spots to fourteen, Utah

1705
01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:28,040
Speaker 1: is thirteen. Just talked about Vandy at twelve, Okay, bring

1706
01:32:28,160 --> 01:32:30,599
Speaker 1: him young is at eleven. I've got a concern about them.

1707
01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:34,200
Speaker 1: I know that it's an unwritten rule that you don't

1708
01:32:34,240 --> 01:32:38,360
Speaker 1: get punished if you make a conference title game and

1709
01:32:38,439 --> 01:32:40,759
Speaker 1: you're in the top twelve and you lose the conference

1710
01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:44,080
Speaker 1: title game. That's not an unwritten rule. Well, it is

1711
01:32:44,120 --> 01:32:47,200
Speaker 1: at best an unwritten rule. We've had one year sample

1712
01:32:47,320 --> 01:32:52,240
Speaker 1: size on this, and each situation is unique unto itself,

1713
01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:55,920
Speaker 1: and I think there's a world where it could come

1714
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:59,400
Speaker 1: down to it. And Miami's got two losses, isn't that large?

1715
01:32:59,640 --> 01:33:02,519
Speaker 1: And Oklahoma's got two losses as in at large? I

1716
01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:04,240
Speaker 1: think they may run out of spots, is what I'm

1717
01:33:04,280 --> 01:33:06,479
Speaker 1: trying to say. And I think bringing me on if

1718
01:33:06,479 --> 01:33:08,920
Speaker 1: they lose again convincingly in the Big twelve championship game

1719
01:33:09,120 --> 01:33:12,400
Speaker 1: and they're eleven and two, I'm serious. I think there's

1720
01:33:12,400 --> 01:33:15,040
Speaker 1: a world where the committee caul bump them out. I'm

1721
01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:17,160
Speaker 1: not saying i'd advocate for it, but I'm just saying

1722
01:33:17,240 --> 01:33:19,400
Speaker 1: there's a situation I think where they could. They didn't

1723
01:33:19,439 --> 01:33:21,920
Speaker 1: do it to SMU last year. It's not in apples

1724
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:24,479
Speaker 1: to apples. It'll never be apples to apples. There's a

1725
01:33:24,520 --> 01:33:27,439
Speaker 1: lot of variables here, so I may be wrong about that.

1726
01:33:27,720 --> 01:33:30,920
Speaker 1: It may be that it's complete ironclad. If you're in

1727
01:33:31,120 --> 01:33:33,479
Speaker 1: the top twelve going into conference title Saturday, you could

1728
01:33:33,479 --> 01:33:35,920
Speaker 1: lose by one hundred and fifty. We're not bumping you out,

1729
01:33:35,960 --> 01:33:38,920
Speaker 1: We're not punishing you for playing in the conference title game.

1730
01:33:39,400 --> 01:33:43,439
Speaker 1: We'll see, We'll see Bama drops six spots there at

1731
01:33:43,520 --> 01:33:47,400
Speaker 1: number ten. I imagine the committee will have them around

1732
01:33:47,520 --> 01:33:51,320
Speaker 1: there come Tuesday night. Notre Dame's nine, Oklahoma's up three

1733
01:33:51,920 --> 01:33:57,439
Speaker 1: to number eight. Texas Tech and Oregon are inexplicably tied

1734
01:33:57,560 --> 01:34:00,720
Speaker 1: at six. Like forty seven million people vote on this thing,

1735
01:34:00,760 --> 01:34:04,120
Speaker 1: and we have a tie. Oregon, let me ask you

1736
01:34:04,120 --> 01:34:09,160
Speaker 1: a question. If they lose to USC Saturday, how far

1737
01:34:09,240 --> 01:34:12,439
Speaker 1: do they drop? Remember Organ's got one loss right now,

1738
01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:15,479
Speaker 1: If they lose to USC, how far are they going

1739
01:34:15,520 --> 01:34:19,040
Speaker 1: to drop? Now? Imagine a world where Oregon's got two

1740
01:34:19,120 --> 01:34:22,920
Speaker 1: losses and Miami's got two losses, and Oklahoma's got two

1741
01:34:22,960 --> 01:34:25,840
Speaker 1: losses and Notre Dame's got two losses and Brigham Young's

1742
01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:28,000
Speaker 1: got two losses and they lost their second game in

1743
01:34:28,040 --> 01:34:30,600
Speaker 1: the conference title game. You see what I mean. It

1744
01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:33,360
Speaker 1: can get really clogged here at the end really quick.

1745
01:34:33,880 --> 01:34:35,640
Speaker 1: So we need to be careful before you just make

1746
01:34:35,680 --> 01:34:37,960
Speaker 1: these definitive statements like, oh, well, so and So's in

1747
01:34:38,080 --> 01:34:40,760
Speaker 1: if they do this, yeah some yeah, A and M's

1748
01:34:40,760 --> 01:34:43,080
Speaker 1: in if they win out. George's in, oh Ole Miss

1749
01:34:43,200 --> 01:34:46,640
Speaker 1: is in? Not everyone in, just a slam dunk to

1750
01:34:46,720 --> 01:34:49,080
Speaker 1: be in. I didn't even mention Vandy. What if Vandy

1751
01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:50,680
Speaker 1: goes on to beat Tennessee and they're ten and two,

1752
01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:53,519
Speaker 1: who we leave it out? We only got twelve spots.

1753
01:34:53,560 --> 01:34:56,519
Speaker 1: We got to leave someone out the top five in

1754
01:34:56,920 --> 01:34:59,920
Speaker 1: five to one order, Ole, Miss Georgia up one spot,

1755
01:35:00,160 --> 01:35:03,160
Speaker 1: number four, A and M three, Indiana two. Ohio State

1756
01:35:03,680 --> 01:35:08,000
Speaker 1: is number one. Oh man, I just I look at

1757
01:35:08,040 --> 01:35:11,320
Speaker 1: it more and more, and I think we're headed towards

1758
01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:14,240
Speaker 1: a very very chaotic final couple of weeks here as

1759
01:35:14,320 --> 01:35:17,920
Speaker 1: it relates to those nine, ten, eleven, twelve spots. That's

1760
01:35:17,960 --> 01:35:21,479
Speaker 1: what I think. In the interest of talking about that,

1761
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:27,439
Speaker 1: I mean, we can to seamlessly transfer a trends. Wait,

1762
01:35:27,479 --> 01:35:29,240
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, sorry, Jesse, I thought I

1763
01:35:29,280 --> 01:35:32,080
Speaker 1: had my papers in the wrong order. So we can

1764
01:35:32,160 --> 01:35:35,560
Speaker 1: just move on to this here. Every Sunday for like

1765
01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:38,320
Speaker 1: a month now, I've updated my college football playoff predictions,

1766
01:35:39,200 --> 01:35:41,000
Speaker 1: which I didn't use to do. But man, it's so

1767
01:35:41,200 --> 01:35:45,240
Speaker 1: fluid right now that just this past weekend's results, it

1768
01:35:45,320 --> 01:35:46,760
Speaker 1: could have been a lot worse, like A and M

1769
01:35:46,800 --> 01:35:49,680
Speaker 1: could have lost, so they didn't. But there's a lot

1770
01:35:49,720 --> 01:35:51,840
Speaker 1: that's changing here. So right now, what I want to

1771
01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:55,080
Speaker 1: remind you really quickly is what we like to do

1772
01:35:55,200 --> 01:35:58,599
Speaker 1: is I like to go conference by conference really quick,

1773
01:35:58,720 --> 01:36:01,080
Speaker 1: like Big Ten. I'm not change in anything in the

1774
01:36:01,120 --> 01:36:04,960
Speaker 1: Big Ten. I'm still taking Ohio State over Indiana in

1775
01:36:05,120 --> 01:36:09,840
Speaker 1: the SEC as of now, I will stick with Alabama

1776
01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:11,960
Speaker 1: over Texas A and M because that was my pick

1777
01:36:12,040 --> 01:36:14,240
Speaker 1: for a long time ago, So I don't want to

1778
01:36:14,280 --> 01:36:16,960
Speaker 1: come off of it until I absolutely have to. But

1779
01:36:17,320 --> 01:36:21,000
Speaker 1: Alabama is not mathematically guaranteed to be in that game

1780
01:36:21,360 --> 01:36:23,880
Speaker 1: just if they beat Auburn now, so there's a lot

1781
01:36:23,960 --> 01:36:27,720
Speaker 1: of like tiebreaker stuff that has to get figured out.

1782
01:36:27,720 --> 01:36:29,519
Speaker 1: A ANDM is probably going to be there, don't know

1783
01:36:29,600 --> 01:36:31,360
Speaker 1: if Alabama's going to be there. If not them, it

1784
01:36:31,400 --> 01:36:36,080
Speaker 1: would probably be Georgia. So let's see acc this changes

1785
01:36:36,120 --> 01:36:39,160
Speaker 1: every week. Right now, I'm just going to take the

1786
01:36:39,200 --> 01:36:41,280
Speaker 1: teams with the best odds, So give me Georgia Tech

1787
01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:46,479
Speaker 1: over Virginia as my eight thirty six pm Central Time

1788
01:36:46,520 --> 01:36:50,880
Speaker 1: November sixteenth pick. And in the Big twelve, still going

1789
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:56,120
Speaker 1: Texas Tech over Brigham Young BYU dusted TCU yesterday, which

1790
01:36:56,200 --> 01:36:57,920
Speaker 1: is a good win. No one paid attention to it.

1791
01:36:58,240 --> 01:37:00,599
Speaker 1: That line was three and a half, so they got

1792
01:37:00,720 --> 01:37:02,559
Speaker 1: right back up off the deck. They performed well. They

1793
01:37:02,600 --> 01:37:06,519
Speaker 1: got Cincinnati this week, and keep an eye on that one.

1794
01:37:07,240 --> 01:37:11,240
Speaker 1: So here is where the seeding would be right now.

1795
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:14,519
Speaker 1: This is where I'm projecting it. Ohio State wins the

1796
01:37:14,560 --> 01:37:18,080
Speaker 1: Big Ten over Indiana. Those are number one and number two.

1797
01:37:18,560 --> 01:37:21,599
Speaker 1: Since I've got Bama winning the SEC, I think they

1798
01:37:21,600 --> 01:37:24,160
Speaker 1: would jump to number three. I think A and M

1799
01:37:24,240 --> 01:37:27,040
Speaker 1: would fall no further than fourth. So really it's a

1800
01:37:27,080 --> 01:37:31,160
Speaker 1: different order, same concept though. The Big Ten champion runner

1801
01:37:31,240 --> 01:37:33,519
Speaker 1: up and the SEC champion runner up, those are still

1802
01:37:33,560 --> 01:37:35,840
Speaker 1: the ones that I project to get the first round

1803
01:37:35,880 --> 01:37:39,360
Speaker 1: bys in the playoff. Now that would be different if

1804
01:37:39,520 --> 01:37:43,439
Speaker 1: say Texas A and M beat Alabama in the SEC

1805
01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:45,800
Speaker 1: championship game. At that point Bama would be down at

1806
01:37:45,880 --> 01:37:49,360
Speaker 1: like nine or ten or somewhere like that. So, yeah,

1807
01:37:49,400 --> 01:37:51,320
Speaker 1: who wins that game all of a sudden because Bama

1808
01:37:51,360 --> 01:37:53,880
Speaker 1: lost to Oklahoma yesterday, who wins that game really matters

1809
01:37:53,920 --> 01:37:56,720
Speaker 1: a lot more. Number five, I've got Texas Tech. There's

1810
01:37:56,720 --> 01:37:59,479
Speaker 1: a lot of arguing out there about whether a Big

1811
01:37:59,560 --> 01:38:03,439
Speaker 1: twelve conference champ Texas Tech would jump over an at

1812
01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:06,040
Speaker 1: large Georgia jump over and at large Old Miss. I

1813
01:38:06,160 --> 01:38:09,840
Speaker 1: think they will. I think that added data point of

1814
01:38:09,960 --> 01:38:14,160
Speaker 1: being a conference champ for Texas Tech, a team who's

1815
01:38:14,240 --> 01:38:18,320
Speaker 1: only loss came with their backup quarterback in which you

1816
01:38:18,400 --> 01:38:20,320
Speaker 1: can think whatever you want to about, but the committee

1817
01:38:20,360 --> 01:38:22,680
Speaker 1: keeps pointing it out is gonna matter. I think that

1818
01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:25,639
Speaker 1: enough to where I've got them projected at five, Georgia

1819
01:38:25,680 --> 01:38:28,479
Speaker 1: at number six, Ole Miss at number seven. I've got

1820
01:38:28,560 --> 01:38:31,360
Speaker 1: Oregon winning out right now, so I've got them at

1821
01:38:31,439 --> 01:38:37,320
Speaker 1: number eight. This is where it gets really, really really muddy. Oklahoma,

1822
01:38:37,760 --> 01:38:40,439
Speaker 1: if they beat Missouri and they beat LSU, I think

1823
01:38:40,479 --> 01:38:43,200
Speaker 1: they're a playoff team, and I think they're a nine seed,

1824
01:38:43,400 --> 01:38:45,800
Speaker 1: and they truthfully they could be above Oregon. They could

1825
01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:48,040
Speaker 1: be an eight seed. They could host a playoff game

1826
01:38:48,080 --> 01:38:50,840
Speaker 1: in Norman wouldn't surprise me at all. Notre Dame, I've

1827
01:38:50,840 --> 01:38:54,160
Speaker 1: got at number ten because I think the resume argument

1828
01:38:54,240 --> 01:38:58,080
Speaker 1: would boost Oklahoma above Notre Dame. I've got Georgia Tech

1829
01:38:58,120 --> 01:39:01,360
Speaker 1: as the ACC champion at eleven, and I've got twu

1830
01:39:01,439 --> 01:39:04,519
Speaker 1: Lane winning the American right now, much to the chagrin

1831
01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:07,400
Speaker 1: of Auburn fans who probably want John some Rawl to

1832
01:39:07,479 --> 01:39:12,080
Speaker 1: have a nice solid clothes to the season. But please

1833
01:39:12,160 --> 01:39:14,280
Speaker 1: report for duty if we hire you. We don't want

1834
01:39:14,320 --> 01:39:16,160
Speaker 1: you mixed up in the playoffs. We don't want that.

1835
01:39:16,880 --> 01:39:18,880
Speaker 1: Shame on you. No, we got two lane at twelve.

1836
01:39:19,320 --> 01:39:22,519
Speaker 1: So this is what the bracket would look like. Oh boy,

1837
01:39:22,680 --> 01:39:26,639
Speaker 1: here we go bracket right now, this is so unhealthy.

1838
01:39:28,200 --> 01:39:31,479
Speaker 1: We would send Oklahoma to Eugene in round one. We

1839
01:39:31,520 --> 01:39:35,160
Speaker 1: would send Tulane to Texas Tech. Notre Dame would go

1840
01:39:35,280 --> 01:39:39,559
Speaker 1: to Oxford to face Ole. Miss Georgia Tech goes right

1841
01:39:39,640 --> 01:39:43,120
Speaker 1: down the road to Athens to play Georgia. My winner's there.

1842
01:39:43,640 --> 01:39:48,000
Speaker 1: They give me Oregon, give me Texas Tech, give me Georgia,

1843
01:39:48,120 --> 01:39:49,680
Speaker 1: and give me Notre Dame. Now let me tell you

1844
01:39:49,760 --> 01:39:52,160
Speaker 1: what that gives us in the second round. Again, our

1845
01:39:52,240 --> 01:39:55,720
Speaker 1: projections continue to indicate you are getting the shaft. If

1846
01:39:55,760 --> 01:39:58,840
Speaker 1: you're the number one seed, I would much rather be

1847
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:02,360
Speaker 1: the three seed here a two seed Ohio State as

1848
01:40:02,400 --> 01:40:05,920
Speaker 1: the one seed gets Oregon. Now you may be thinking

1849
01:40:05,960 --> 01:40:07,639
Speaker 1: to your stuff if you're a Buckeye fan, I think

1850
01:40:07,680 --> 01:40:10,000
Speaker 1: we're better than Oregon. Of course you are. That's not

1851
01:40:10,160 --> 01:40:13,439
Speaker 1: the point. The point is the caliber of matchup you're

1852
01:40:13,479 --> 01:40:17,360
Speaker 1: gonna get compared to. Like I don't know, I mean,

1853
01:40:17,360 --> 01:40:19,519
Speaker 1: I don't want to integrate anyone, but anyway, so I

1854
01:40:19,560 --> 01:40:23,280
Speaker 1: would take Ohio State over Oregon. I would take Texas

1855
01:40:23,320 --> 01:40:26,960
Speaker 1: A and M over Texas Tech, give me Alabama over Georgia,

1856
01:40:27,600 --> 01:40:30,639
Speaker 1: and give me Notre Dame over Indiana, which is gonna

1857
01:40:30,640 --> 01:40:33,519
Speaker 1: be controversial. That's a replay or a rematch rather of

1858
01:40:33,680 --> 01:40:37,160
Speaker 1: last year's a game that was in South Bend and

1859
01:40:37,320 --> 01:40:40,800
Speaker 1: our final four. There good matchups. Man, that's Ohio State

1860
01:40:40,840 --> 01:40:43,560
Speaker 1: A and M. That's Notre Dame Alabama. I'm keeping my

1861
01:40:43,640 --> 01:40:46,000
Speaker 1: national championship game the same right now. So give me

1862
01:40:46,080 --> 01:40:50,760
Speaker 1: Ohio State versus Alabama. I'll still keep my national championship

1863
01:40:50,800 --> 01:40:52,960
Speaker 1: the same right now. I'll take Alabama to win it.

1864
01:40:54,120 --> 01:40:56,400
Speaker 1: If Ohio State and Alabama or on the field right now,

1865
01:40:56,840 --> 01:40:59,800
Speaker 1: I feel a lot better about Ohio State. I don't

1866
01:40:59,800 --> 01:41:01,320
Speaker 1: want want to be the guy who comes off a

1867
01:41:01,400 --> 01:41:06,120
Speaker 1: championship prediction only for the championship prediction to verify, because

1868
01:41:06,160 --> 01:41:09,519
Speaker 1: that's a worse spot to be in socially. I would

1869
01:41:09,560 --> 01:41:13,320
Speaker 1: never live it down. I need Alabama to work on themselves.

1870
01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:16,439
Speaker 1: I need you guys to get right. Ohio State did

1871
01:41:16,479 --> 01:41:18,960
Speaker 1: it last year. Just use their blueprint. That's all you

1872
01:41:18,960 --> 01:41:21,400
Speaker 1: got to do. Just use the Ohio State blueprint. A

1873
01:41:21,439 --> 01:41:24,160
Speaker 1: couple of more things that we're out of here FanDuel,

01:41:32,080 --> 01:41:34,840
Speaker 1: bet on this, which is totally fine by me. If

1878
01:41:34,840 --> 01:41:38,040
Speaker 1: you got any doubts about whether you should be, don't.

1879
01:41:38,200 --> 01:41:40,439
Speaker 1: If there's a single bout, don't be betting on this stuff.

1880
01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:43,519

Speaker 1: Before I leave, I've got two additions to the Rama

1911
01:43:09,040 --> 01:43:11,920
Speaker 1: Noodle Express for this week. Terrible day. Yesterday we went

1912
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:14,240
Speaker 1: three and eight. Now that's okay because we had a

1913
01:43:14,240 --> 01:43:16,240
Speaker 1: couple of winning weeks before that, So like we're still

1914
01:43:16,320 --> 01:43:19,920
Speaker 1: up this month, but yet not good enough Yesterday. I

1915
01:43:20,040 --> 01:43:22,439
Speaker 1: feel bad about it. That's why I can't criticize Alabama

1916
01:43:22,520 --> 01:43:25,360
Speaker 1: or South Carolina too much. I didn't show up yesterday either.

1917
01:43:26,120 --> 01:43:29,280
Speaker 1: Scratch that, the kids we bet on didn't show up.

1918
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:32,800
Speaker 1: They're the ones who screwed up, or the officials screwed up,

1919
01:43:32,880 --> 01:43:35,519
Speaker 1: or the coaches screwed up. It wasn't me, It wasn't

1920
01:43:35,600 --> 01:43:38,120
Speaker 1: my fault. However, if we win this week, I will

1921
01:43:38,160 --> 01:43:41,439
Speaker 1: appreciate some credit. Give me Western Kentucky plus twenty two

1922
01:43:41,439 --> 01:43:45,960
Speaker 1: and a half at LSU and give me Kent State.

1923
01:43:46,560 --> 01:43:49,360
Speaker 1: We're back pres Kent State plus seven and a half.

1924
01:43:50,040 --> 01:43:53,759
Speaker 1: Weeknight Maction I think that's a Wednesday game. My staff

1925
01:43:54,840 --> 01:43:57,320
Speaker 1: has bet on every Kent State game all year. I

1926
01:43:57,400 --> 01:43:59,400
Speaker 1: know there may be people watching there at Kent State

1927
01:44:00,280 --> 01:44:02,920
Speaker 1: who think we're not even aware that they exist. You

1928
01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:05,680
Speaker 1: could not possibly be more wrong. We are living and

1929
01:44:05,800 --> 01:44:08,880
Speaker 1: dying with every Kent State game. We are very proud

1930
01:44:09,560 --> 01:44:13,720
Speaker 1: of already the vast overachievement that the team has accomplished

1931
01:44:13,760 --> 01:44:15,439
Speaker 1: this year. But we're a seven and a half point

1932
01:44:15,560 --> 01:44:18,479
Speaker 1: dog this Wednesday night. We got a shot to clip

1933
01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:20,640
Speaker 1: Central Michigan. Don't you think so? Press. I think we

1934
01:44:20,760 --> 01:44:23,160
Speaker 1: got a shot, so we're gonna take them plus seven

1935
01:44:23,160 --> 01:44:26,320
Speaker 1: and a half. Maybe just a little sprinkle on the

1936
01:44:26,360 --> 01:44:28,320
Speaker 1: money line. Maybe I don't want to get wild. I

1937
01:44:28,360 --> 01:44:31,280
Speaker 1: don't want to get reckless. But as for the Ramanudle Express,

1938
01:44:31,560 --> 01:44:35,120
Speaker 1: WKU and Kent State, appreciate you guys so much for watching.
