1
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: Welcome in Lakes Live. It is Thursday night, May twenty

2
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: sixth year of our Lord, twenty twenty two Wisdom Tonight,

3
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: from the unlikeliest of places in the college football universe,

4
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: we are jam packed high at top a beautiful downtown Nashville,

5
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: Tennessee this evening. Dare I read quotations from one old

6
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: miss head coach Lane Kiff, and then say listen to

7
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: that guy. Yes, yes, I do, dare, because we are

8
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: at that kind of point in this sport right now.

9
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: Bold Predictions Version eleven on Tap tonight. We are also

10
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: going to do some things on the transfer portal in

11
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: a sort of a finality totality approach, because we've got

12
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: final player rankings, we got team rankings, and I've got

13
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: a lot of things to say now that the dust

14
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: has started to settle on the transfer portal. Do you

15
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: have any idea how much that thing just shaped every

16
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: conference championship race this year? Some of you may, I'm

17
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: gonna emphatically tell you if you don't, how much it

18
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: shaped the entire landscape of sport this year. Have you

19
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: ever used the term recruiting bust? Because one of you

20
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: asked me a question about why so many kids bust

21
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: in recruiting. Why are so many five star players busts?

22
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: And we just see this from such a different angle.

23
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: I think some of you and I not all of you,

24
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: certainly the person who asked the questions, so I will

25
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: dive into that. And it's time because we have so

26
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: many new faces around here, we have so many new

27
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: people in the audience, it's time to revisit, just a

28
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: mere two hundred days ago, what happened between us and

29
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: the folks over at college game Day. We got banned.

30
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: We got banned from college game Day. I have no

31
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: ill will or animosity, but this story does deserve to

32
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: be retold. They're watching us and listening to us in Pueblo, Colorado, Louisville, Kentucky, Richmond, Virginia,

33
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: and Huntsville, Texas, and I assume Alabama, but we need

34
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: to go to Huntsville, Texas to say on early congratulations

35
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: to Nathan and LeAnn. They're getting married. That's great news.

36
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: But the really great news is check your calendar's people,

37
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: it's May, it's spring, it's summer. You know how much

38
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: we're in a spring and summer weddings around here. What

39
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: does it do well? Number one, it forms a holy

40
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: union between a man and a woman. But number two,

41
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: it frees up a Saturday in the fall that otherwise

42
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: would have been filled with all that nonsense. So thank

43
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: you and congratulations to Nathan and Leanne. And that's not all.

44
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: If you want to hop on the spring and summer

45
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: wedding train, how about Scott and Kenley, because they just

46
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: tied the knot this past weeknd and Scott was nice

47
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: enough to reach out call some of his buddies, booked

48
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: a cameo from me as one of his groomsman's gift.

49
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: What a groomsman gift, by the way, And he said,

50
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: and I quote, I got to read it here because

51
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: the text is too small. He said, Hey, I just

52
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: wanted to let you know we partied hard outside of

53
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: southwest Florida this past weekend, nearly one hundred degree heat

54
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: in humidity, all to avoid the most cardinal sin. I

55
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: hope everyone's paying attention to avoid the most cardinal sin

56
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: of hosting a fall Saturday wedding. I don't call it

57
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: off season, I call it wedding season. We even had

58
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: a surprise guest show up the Clemson Tiger. And if

59
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: you're listening, on podcast. There's a picture of him Kenley,

60
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: the newlywed Coupler and the Clemson Tiger. I don't know

61
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: how free his Saturday was that he got over to

62
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: the wedding, but congratulations to anyone who is getting married

63
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: this time of year, and just something to think about

64
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: if you're planning on getting married in the other time

65
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: of year, our time of year. Let's get into the

66
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: show tonight. Boy, we got a lot to talk about.

67
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: I don't know that I have ever had an open

68
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: to a show where I plan to talk so much

69
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: about words coming out of Lane Kiffin's mouth in sort

70
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: of a prophetic tone. We've talked about Lane Kiffen a lot,

71
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: but it's never in a well that's a good point

72
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: sort of tone. So let's dive into this. There are

73
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: many benefits to having Lane Kiffen in college football. One

74
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: of them is you're never short on quotes. Anytime something happens,

75
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: I e. Jimbo Fisher and Nick Saban going to each other,

76
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: you're sure to have him tell you what he thinks.

77
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: And he did that, and then with Ross Dellinger over

78
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: at Sports Illustrated, he really went in depth and that

79
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: piece got released yesterday over on SI dot com. Some

80
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: of you have already read it, but I had so

81
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: many of you, dozens, maybe hundreds, reached out and said

82
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 1: what do you think about this? So I figured would

83
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: lead the show with it tonight, and I'm gonna show

84
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: you if you haven't already read this, I'm going to

85
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: show you three different, very noteworthy quotes that came from

86
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin in this Rossdellinger piece over on SI dot com.

87
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: And the first one has to do with free agency

88
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: in college football calls. That's what a lot of people

89
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: have referred to nil as. And to be clear, what

90
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: he's talking about here in this wide ranging interview is

91
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: the state of college football right now. And Kiffen had

92
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: a lot to say, as he usually does, but man,

93
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this is different than normal, like Kiffins

94
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: saying a lot of stuff that I think some folks

95
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: are scared to speak out about, and he's just never

96
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: been that way. He really doesn't have much of a

97
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: filter on him. So Colin throw up this first quote

98
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: about free agency, and I'm gonna pull it up over here.

99
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: Listen to this if you're riding around and you're listening

100
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: on podcasts, if you're watching on YouTube. Listen to this.

101
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: This is Lane Kiffin speaking about nil in the transfer portal.

102
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: We're a professional sport and they are national players, contracted employees,

103
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: but without contracts, they can get out whenever they want.

104
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: How is it not being seen that unless there are

105
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: changes of rules around caps and contracts, how is every

106
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: elite college player not at the end of their season

107
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: entering the transfer portal. This is something that is feared

108
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: and didn't quite come to fruition this past cycle like

109
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: many thought it would. I know you saw a lot

110
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: of kids enter the transfer portal, but believe me, behind

111
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: the scenes, there was a worry that like half of

112
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: everyone's roster was going to enter the transfer portal. Why

113
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: is that? Well, Lane Kiffin's telling you right now. The

114
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: reason a lot of people look at this is unsustainable.

115
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: Although those are not his words, but they are people

116
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: like my words. It's unsustainable because you have some of

117
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: the elements of free agency that exists in the NFL.

118
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: You have the ability to go test the market, but

119
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: you don't have any parameters in place. What Lane Kiffin said,

120
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: he kind of went on to mention Bryce Young. He said,

121
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: I can't believe Bryce Young did not enter the transfer portal,

122
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,119
Speaker 1: even if he had no intention of leaving Alabama, there's

123
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,239
Speaker 1: nothing on that scholarship piece of paper that he signed

124
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: with Alabama that limits him from doing it. And now

125
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: you've got this market where you can put your name

126
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: out there and just see what the highest bidder has

127
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: to say. Like I've been in contract renegotiation phase for

128
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: about six months now, you just you're in a market

129
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: where you see what people say, but see unlike college

130
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: football players, I'm locked in the CBS for a certain

131
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: amount of time and then I've got a negotiation window,

132
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: and then whoever I sign with, then I've got X

133
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: number of years that I can't talk to anybody else for.

134
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: It's the same way in the pros, no matter if

135
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: it's baseball, football, and basketball. But in college right now

136
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: that is not the case. And so link Iffen made

137
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: a very good point that I think a lot of

138
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: folks are only just now realizing because it's so new.

139
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: Everything about this is new. I would venture to guess

140
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: several high profile college football players, if they were to

141
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: read that, would think to themselves, Wow, that's a good point,

142
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: which means they didn't even understand immediately that's possible, but

143
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: it is possible, and like he said, like wayk Giff said,

144
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: if nothing changes, that will be the norm, which is

145
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: why stands to reason there's a lot of grinding of

146
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: teeth right now in different conference sectors because something has

147
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: to change, because that's obviously untenable. I know a lot

148
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: of people have entered the room stressed the word entered

149
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: the room recently, which means they weren't always here. They

150
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: are not college football diehards. They don't eat, sleep, and

151
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: breathe it. They're just passers by, kind of like the locusts.

152
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: And once they get rid of this field and everything

153
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,679
Speaker 1: good about it, then they'll move on to the next field.

154
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: But a lot of people have come in the room

155
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: lately and they've told you there's nothing wrong with that.

156
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: That's just the way it's the way it's gonna work.

157
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: That's the way it should work. No, no, it's not. No,

158
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: it's not it's not the way it should work. That's

159
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: coming from a vantage point of someone that has fourteen

160
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: different agendas and ulterior motives, none of which are the

161
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: best interest of college football. So everyone's entitled their opinion.

162
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: As I've said many times on the show, I just

163
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: don't have to respect all the opinions. I don't respect

164
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: the opinion on this topic, at least of anyone who says, oh,

165
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,239
Speaker 1: free agency every year, kids entering the portal every year.

166
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: That should be normal. That's just the way it should work. No,

167
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: it's not. No it's not, So we move on. Lane

168
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: Kiffin also talked about the locker room. He's not alone here.

169
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: I've had several of you message me about this. But

170
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: he went a step further. Did lane Kiffin talking not

171
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: only about the locker room, but also about how players

172
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,239
Speaker 1: are being bought in the Nile market. This from lane Kiffin,

173
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: he said, there are all kinds of issues coming. Let's

174
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: say reports are true. Some high school quarterback is making

175
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: six to eight mil. How's that going to work? How

176
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: is he coming into that locker room? Our coaches going

177
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: to need to play him? This is where it gets real.

178
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: Listen to this. Are coaches going to need to play him?

179
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: Or our donors going to be mad when he's not

180
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: playing the first round pick the donor drafts. I've been

181
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: in that situation. He's talking about coaching in Oakland when

182
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: they drafted JaMarcus Russell and JaMarcus Russell wasn't ready to play,

183
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: but Al Davis the GM's telling him, I drafted that

184
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 1: guy number one overall. You know how much money I'm

185
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: paying him, you better play him. Well, Lane Kiffn's talking

186
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: about that existing in the college world now, he continues,

187
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: the people paying that kind of money are gonna want

188
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,599
Speaker 1: that guy to play. If he's not playing, how's the

189
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: backup quarterback who's just earning a scholarship gonna play over him?

190
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: Do you think this will happen? I do not all

191
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: over the place think it'll be case by case. I

192
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: think you've got to get a whole lot more nuanced

193
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: on this conversation. This could exist at Oklahoma one year,

194
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: it could happen at Virginia Tech one year, whereas at

195
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: Illinois it may not happen, or at USC a given

196
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: year it may not happen. I'm mentioning those programs generically.

197
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: The more specific point here is this will happen. The

198
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: locker room issues not worried me so much. I've not

199
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: been focused on that because my philosophy on that has

200
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: been that's not gonna break up a locker room that

201
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: wasn't already prone to being broken up before because before

202
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: the NIL era, if you've ever been in a locker room,

203
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: if you've been around this sport, if you've watched this

204
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: for a long time, you could probably recall teams that underachieved.

205
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: And after the season's over and all the stories get told,

206
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: you find out they just had a bad locker room dynamic. Well,

207
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: how did it happen before nil? The answer is poor culture.

208
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: You had a few bad apples and the bushel, and

209
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: they spoiled the whole barrel. You can go back to

210
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: the Asops Fables world and you can know what wrecks

211
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: a college football locker room. The point is, I've always

212
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: been in the opinion that if you got stable culture there,

213
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: if you've got good culture, this probably won't wreck it

214
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: nearly as quickly as if you've got bad culture. Now,

215
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: if you've got bad culture, this will wreck it quicker

216
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: than it would in the past. But it was already

217
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: gonna be wrecked anyway, So I'm not worried about that

218
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: as much. But the second part of what Kiffin said there, oh,

219
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: that's a huge problem, and it's going to happen, that's

220
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: in inevitability. Think about forking over the kinds of money

221
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: you have to participate in these collectives and whatnot, and

222
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: knowing that that money went to get a five star

223
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: defensive end, that all the recruiting services had rated that,

224
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 1: and so in your mind he's the number one player

225
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 1: in his position in the country. He comes in, okay,

226
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: he's a special teams contributor the first half of his

227
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: freshman season. But man, after we get out of the

228
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: bye week and we're in the home stretched there in

229
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: November and he's still not starting. What did I pay for?

230
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: So who am I getting mad at? Not the kid,

231
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: not the recruiting service. I'm getting mad at the coach.

232
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: And that cannot happen for ten obvious reasons that cannot happen.

233
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: But yet Lane Kiffin suggests, and I agree that it

234
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: will happen. Part two why this is very unsustainable and

235
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: part two of why when anyone walks in the door

236
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: and says, oh, that's going to be normal, and that's okay,

237
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: don't listen to him. Those are casuals. And what do

238
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 1: we do with casuals. We reach over to the volume knob,

239
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: we turn it down to zero, and then we smile

240
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: at him and wave at him, and you just see

241
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: a moving mouth but there's no actual words coming out

242
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: that you can hear. That's the best way to deal

243
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: with casuals in and out of college football. Lane Kiffin continues.

244
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some money here, shall we. Lane Kiffin said,

245
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: this is talking about recruiting specifically. I could have worked

246
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: my butt off for three years. You could have done

247
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: three minutes. There was a player who went to a

248
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: school that we got beat on. I asked him about

249
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: the relationship with the head coach. He had never talked

250
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: to him inil. Lane Kiffin's talking about something that's interested me,

251
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: but I have not spoken about on the show quite yet.

252
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: And that's the concept that there could be really, really

253
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 1: good recruiting jobs being done, but it doesn't matter because

254
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: money will always win out. A lot of people have

255
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: gotten mad at kids about this. You don't need to

256
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: be getting mad at kids about it. They're not doing

257
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: anything different than you would whether you're eighteen years old

258
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: or forty eight years old. If you've got an opportunity

259
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: here and then someone offers you four times the amount

260
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: you would make here over there? Where are you going?

261
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: I know where most of you are going. You're probably

262
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: going the same place I would go. Doubly, especially if

263
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: I were eighteen years old. I can't get mad at

264
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: kids for making that decision. Every one of us in

265
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: that position will make that decision, Lane Kiff. It's not

266
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: demonizing kids here, quite the opposite. He said, shouldn't be

267
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 1: getting mad at the kids. It's the adults that kicked

268
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 1: the can down the road. The kids weren't born yet.

269
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: The kids we're talking about right now, we're not even

270
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: born yet. When the decisions should have been being made

271
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: that would have maybe avoided us winding up where we

272
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: are right now. But we are here, and so from

273
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 1: this point moving forward, what do you have possible solutions?

274
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll talk about it in a second, But what

275
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin's talking about here is money will always win out.

276
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: That kind of brings me to another part of why

277
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: this has to be solved or something has to happen.

278
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: That is a theme that has woven throughout every quote

279
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: I just read you. But now, how about some unanswerable questions.

280
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm just going to throw some of them at you.

281
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: By the very definition of an unanswerable question, I don't

282
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: have these answers, But think about putting together a coaching

283
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 1: staff in the future, Lane Kiffin said, Hey, if you're

284
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: a head coach in the future, all you're going to

285
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: ask about with a school is what does your nil

286
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: structure look like? Because that will be the most important

287
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: thing when it comes to winning unless something changes. Well,

288
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about head coaches hiring assistant coaches. What do

289
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: you value you? Because right now you value recruiting. In fact,

290
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: you cut corners sometimes on a guy's ability in the

291
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: x's and o's department, just because you know he can

292
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: acquire talent, he's a good recruiter. There are very, very

293
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 1: notable examples in college football of super recruiters that are

294
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: whatever on game day, but what they bring you on

295
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: the trail more than makes up for what they may

296
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: lack on the grease board. Is that the same moving forward?

297
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: If this really becomes an nil game, if it just

298
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: becomes a transactional game, what value is there for the

299
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: super recruiter, for the A level recruiter who is a

300
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: C level coach? Is there still a place for that

301
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: guy in the game? And does it change the way

302
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: that you construct your staff? And could also this opened

303
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: the door for more high school coaches because I can

304
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: promise you this, here's a dirty little secret. There are

305
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: some guys holding down jobs making six figures on your

306
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: college staff that probably would have circles drawn around them

307
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: on said grease board by some the bigger high school

308
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: staffs and people in those high school staffs in your hometown.

309
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: The difference is for whatever reason, maybe it's the agent

310
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: that represents them, or maybe it's the way they carry

311
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: themselves in the recruiting trail, or maybe it's just they've

312
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: got more experience. That coach on the college staff can

313
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: acquire talent, whereas this coach at the high school level, now,

314
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: he's just got chalk all over his hands. He's just

315
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: a grinder man. I don't want him out on the

316
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: recruiting trail. Well, if that doesn't matter so much anymore,

317
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: you got a lot of guys at the high school

318
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: level that would get calls tomorrow. If recruiting wasn't a

319
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: huge factor in the game anymore, You've got a bunch

320
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: of high school coaches that would have college jobs boom,

321
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: just like that. Just think about that. That's an unanswerable

322
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: question because I don't know if this structure is going

323
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: to stay this way forever. Therefore, I don't know if

324
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: any long term permanent changes in the direction of the

325
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: sport are going to occur, how aggressive or conference is

326
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: going to be, and this is going to start to

327
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: be answered. I think next week down in Destin, when

328
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: the SEC has their Spring meetings. This is the biggest

329
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: question right now. I've spoken about this for the last

330
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: two shows. You've got this hail Mary approach out there

331
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: of let's get Congress involved. I've told you I've changed

332
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: my thinking on that. I don't think that's the way

333
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: it's going to go. And so the follow up is, well,

334
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: if the NCAA can't do it for a threat of

335
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: lawsuit and a nine to zero SCOTUS decision against them,

336
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: let's take it upon ourselves to police things at the

337
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: college level. I expect the SEC to be pretty bold

338
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: on this, and that's why I almost wish this Lane

339
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: Kiffin interview would have come two weeks after it did.

340
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: I'd love to get these guys on the record after

341
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: their spring meetings, because one way or they are that

342
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: this is going to be addressed very poignantly in those

343
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: Spring meetings down in Destin next week. What do they

344
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: walk away thinking, then, That's what I'd love to know.

345
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: Unknowable at the moment. Here's one that's just totally off

346
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: the wall right now. If you think about a career

347
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: in football, if you think about making big money in

348
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: football right now, you think, I've got to make it

349
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: to the NFL. If you're five years old right now,

350
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: or if you're the parents of a five year old

351
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: kid right now and you're thinking about which sport to

352
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: sign them up for, boy, such a long shot to

353
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: ever get anything financially in the sport of football unless

354
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: you make it to the NFL. Right yeah, the way

355
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: it's always been, youth football participation rates have declined, not

356
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: because of that, but because of the injury, and you

357
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: can go play soccer. There's so many more safer options.

358
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,959
Speaker 1: I wonder what this will do for youth football participation.

359
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: This could be a plus, could be a hidden plus

360
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 1: of nil if all of a sudden, and especially if

361
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, some of these conferences start giving

362
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: a small sliver of that multimedia distribution rights pie to players,

363
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you don't have to make it

364
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: to the NFL anymore to make really good money playing football.

365
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: You can make it as an eighteen year old playing

366
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: for the University of Missouri you could make it playing

367
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: for Purdue. I almost wonder if someone's on the fence

368
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 1: about letting kids play football, or if someone's on the

369
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: fence when they're a freshman in high school. Do I

370
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 1: want to go just stick to baseball or do I

371
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: want to stick it out with football. I almost wonder

372
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: if that's in the back of kids minds. It's unknowable.

373
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: I don't know. We're too early in it. And also

374
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: how much correction is going to occur. I know the

375
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 1: crowd over here. I keep pointing to them. It's the

376
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: crowd that comes in the door because they weren't here already,

377
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: and they talk about how all all your fears they're unfounded.

378
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: You're scared of things just because it's unknown, But don't worry.

379
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: The market will correct itself. How many times have you

380
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: heard that? I say it all the time in economics.

381
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 1: I don't say it all that often in college football

382
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: normally because it doesn't apply. But I also don't know

383
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: that it applies here quite yet, or at least I'm

384
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: not as confident in that because I don't think we

385
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: have true market forces at work here the way we

386
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: would just in an open economic free market. I think

387
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: that there's a lot that's artificial about this market in particular,

388
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: and because of that, I don't know how quickly it corrects.

389
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: When people tell you, to be clear, what I'm talking

390
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: about here. When people say it'll correct, they're normally talking

391
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 1: to someone who's freaking out and saying Nile is going

392
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: to ruin college football. These folks won't be able to

393
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: compete against those folks, YadA, YadA, YadA, And they'll tell you, oh,

394
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: don't worry, those numbers won't be that astronomical forever. Because

395
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: some boosters are going to spend big money on players.

396
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: They'll get burned when they don't pan out, and then

397
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: the market will correct and it'll level off the way

398
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: that a typical market would work. Lane Kiffin talked about that.

399
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: He said, I don't think that's the case at all.

400
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: I don't know that. I don't agree with him. I

401
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: think that was like a triple double negative. But I'm

402
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 1: not so sure. Lane Kiff is not probably onto something there.

403
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of artificial forces already

404
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: in this market, meaning I think there are a lot

405
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 1: of price tags being attached to certain players that if

406
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: this were a true market, would not represent what that

407
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: player is actually worth. I think that a lot of

408
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 1: these donors and boosters couldn't even care less what the

409
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: player's name is. They just know that's an asset that

410
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: team needs. And in some ways, oh, that is how

411
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: a market works. In other ways, that's not leveling off.

412
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: I don't think that outside of maybe a few programs,

413
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: that's leveling off. Because what lane Kiffin said, we'll wrap

414
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: it up here. What lane Kiffin said that's true is

415
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: you've got some donor classes out there that are on

416
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: the hook for paying forty million dollars to pay coaching

417
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: st not to coach for them. What do you think

418
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: twenty million per classes that's actually to get players to

419
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: come play here, they're willing to check out all that

420
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: money to pay staffs to go away to buy them

421
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: out before they pay a new staff. And he's right

422
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: about that. And so I don't know, absent conferences getting

423
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: aggressive about this, what will change or what can change?

424
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: And that's why that's the million dollar or maybe even

425
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: billion dollar question. What are conferences going to do to

426
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: get aggressive about this? You will hear a lot more

427
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,479
Speaker 1: about that probably around this time next week. One of

428
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: the best dms or emails that I can open these days.

429
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,719
Speaker 1: Is one like I got yesterday. I think it was.

430
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: I opened the DM and it was a picture of

431
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: an Academy Sports and Outdoors receipt. Those are always good.

432
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: I get those by the hundreds every week. Those are great,

433
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: Keep them coming. But here is the cherry on top.

434
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: Cherry on top is the Academy Sports and Outdoors receipt.

435
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: It could be a grill, it could be a pair

436
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: of shoes, but then it says, you know, shame on me.

437
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: I went to the other store before I went to

438
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: Academy today, and I don't know why, but they didn't

439
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: have what I wanted. And sure enough, I went to

440
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 1: Academy and they had exactly what I wanted. And you

441
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: know what. Tracy Lawrence, probably one of the most underrated

442
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: country artists ever, had a song. It was called Lessons

443
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: Learn and they sure run deep, they don't go away,

444
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: and they don't come cheap. There's no way around it.

445
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: As this world turns, lessons learned. Well, that's a lesson

446
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: that I think we all need to learn about Academy

447
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: Sports and outdoors. You can go wherever you want to,

448
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: but eventually you're coming back to Academy because they're always

449
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: going to have what you need, especially in terms of

450
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: outdoor sporting good supplies. But in a lot of cases,

451
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: you guys are finding out they got what you need,

452
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: extending far beyond just the typical boundaries of sporting goods.

453
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: But boy do they have sporting goods. You know, Producer

454
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: Jesse and I, in an alternate universe where he exists,

455
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: have a big double header tomorrow night, I mean big

456
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: double hitter and softball, so we will be equipped head

457
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: to toe with gear from Academy. I wouldn't call us

458
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: sponsored players from Academy, but it feels that way. Whatever

459
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: you need, Academy Sports and Outdoors has your back, and

460
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: they have our back, and so in order to have

461
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: our back as a show, which you're a part of,

462
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: it just makes sense. It just makes sense to go

463
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: to Academy Sports and Outdoors. And if you can't get

464
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: there in person, that's fine, No one cares. Academy dot

465
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 1: Com has all your needs taken care of, and we

466
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: appreciate them. Let's get into eleven point zero Bold Predictions

467
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: Bold Predictions Version eleven. Tonight, we've got five more. It's

468
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: been one of the most fun segments we've ever done continuously.

469
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: This first one. There's a lot of boldness top to

470
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: bottom here tonight, But this first one, I just don't know.

471
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: But let's take a look at it. You and I together.

472
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: Texas embarrasses Alabama in Week two. This is our first

473
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: bold prediction from one of you. The rules are here, simple,

474
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: make a bold prediction. You would bet your own money

475
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: on what do we define as embarrassed? Well, we have

476
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: figured that has to mean fourteen points or more. Alabama's

477
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: going to lose to Texas in Week two by fourteen

478
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 1: or more. Keep in mind, Alabama is favored by over

479
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: fourteen in the game. It's in Austin. Texas got that

480
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: going for him. How rare would this be? Well, stat's

481
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: an info aka producer Jesse. Look this up today. Fourteen

482
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: point or more loss for Alabama in the regular season.

483
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: How many times do you think that's happened since seven?

484
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 1: So Saban second year eight through present day? You know

485
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: how many games they've lost by fourteen or more points

486
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: during the regular season? Oh no, and it happened twelve

487
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: years ago in Columbia, South Carolina. It's why when you

488
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: walk the streets of Tuscaloosa and you say the name

489
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: Stephen Garcia, they give you a citation. I think it's

490
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: against an actual city ordinance to even say the name

491
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: Stephen Garcia in Tuscalusa. To this day, they've lost a

492
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: couple of the New Year six games by fourteen. They've

493
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: lost to Georgia by fifteen this past January. That just

494
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: doesn't even process in my mind as a two touchdown

495
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: win because it was a pick six at the very end.

496
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: But hey, that counts. So the twenty eighteen Clumson game,

497
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: that National championship game, that's the only time I've really

498
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: seen them embarrassed recently. Is that going to happen at Texas?

499
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: I don't think so. That's why I put it at

500
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: a nine point nine to nine on the boldness scale.

501
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: Texas could win the game, that wouldn't be the most

502
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: wild thing to ever see. We're talking about embarrassing Bama though,

503
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: so they got to run it up on them. Do

504
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: you know how hard it is to do that? Period?

505
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: I think you do because I just showed you. But secondly,

506
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: the University of Texas doing it, how are they going

507
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 1: to run away from Bama? Having the offensive line situation

508
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: that Texas has having a brand new quarterback to break in.

509
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: How are they running away from Bama? It's one thing

510
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: to beat them, beating them by fourteen plus I have

511
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 1: no clue how that happens, and so I'm giving this

512
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: a nine point nine to nine. That's as close to

513
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: a ten on the boldness scale as it gets. Let's

514
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: move to Michigan here, because this one's pretty bold too.

515
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: I gave this one an eight bold prediction. Michigan wins

516
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: eight games or less this season, and Harbaugh's back on

517
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: the hot seat watching in Alpharetta Georgia there. Well, this

518
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: is pretty tough to imagine for me too, so I

519
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: put this at an eight point five on the boldness scale.

520
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 1: Michigan's got a very workable schedule this year. What are

521
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 1: they made of? Anytime we're talking about an expectation for

522
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: a team in a given year, we want to know

523
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: what they are made of. The past four recruiting classes

524
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: top fifteen. Michigan has finished top fifteen recruiting rankings in

525
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: the past four classes. So it's a very solid nucleus

526
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: of talent. As I said, very workable schedule here, very workable.

527
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: In fact, they should absolutely be undefeated entering October. So

528
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: what are we asking them to do? If you're listening

529
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: on podcasts, here's what we're asking them to do. If

530
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: we think they're going to lose four or more games,

531
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: certainly we think they have to lose against Penn State

532
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: and probably Michigan State and Ohio State. I think those

533
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,959
Speaker 1: are non negotiable. They got to lose all those, then

534
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: they got to lose at these two of Maryland, at Iowa,

535
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: at Indiana Nebraska. I just don't think that's gonna happen.

536
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: They're not breaking in new quarterbacks up there. They're breaking

537
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 1: in new coordinators. But it's like we said the other night,

538
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: they don't start with a challenging slate. They get to

539
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: break themselves in. So whatever they will be, they already

540
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: are by the time they're really truly challenged for the

541
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: first time in the season. I don't think this is happening.

542
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: I talked to a good buddy the other day who's

543
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 1: diehard in Michigan fan. He said, I gotta be real

544
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: with you, I'd be disappointed if there were nine and three.

545
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: That would be a bad year. Considering the schedule. They're

546
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: over under win total at Caesars right now is nine

547
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 1: and a half. So yeah, And the other part of

548
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: this is they finish with eight wins or less and

549
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: he's on the hot seat again. I just don't see

550
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: it happening. I do not see it happening. So I

551
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: put that in an eight and a half, maybe even

552
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 1: higher than that. This next one is equally a saucy,

553
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 1: but half of it can come true. So let's talk

554
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: about oklahom In year one under the new staff, Oklahoma

555
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: football will have both a higher ranked offense and a

556
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: higher ranked defense than they had a year ago. I've

557
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: got good news and bad news here, so I'm putting

558
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: this in an eight on the boldness scale. The good

559
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: news is this should be doable defensively. Brent Vnables is

560
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: your head coach now, so you automatically expect good things. Defensively.

561
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: They were one hundred and ninth last year in the

562
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: country in points per game given up. You know, they

563
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 1: were batter than the secondary. He had a lot of

564
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: injury back there, so that was well documented. That's the

565
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: good news. Though. The bad news is how are they

566
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: going to pull this off offensively? Exactly? They were first

567
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: in the red zone last year, best red zone team

568
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: in the country. They were eighth offensively in points per game.

569
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,719
Speaker 1: We lose Caleb Williams. We do get Dylan Gabriel. We're

570
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: going to talk about him later in the show. It's

571
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: not like we're poor manning Oklahoma here, but we have

572
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: to improve offensively from being eighth in the country last

573
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: year in points per game without Jaden Hazelwood, without Mario Woods.

574
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: We lost a tie. It end, we lost our quarterback.

575
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: And that's not it. That's not an exhaustive list. I

576
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: do not see improvement offensively. Defensively, you can pull that

577
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: off offensively, which is the stipulation here. I don't think

578
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: that's happening. So Oklahoma better on both sides. That's a

579
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: little steep, even for me. I'm gonna go eight on

580
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 1: the boldness scale. The next one is one of my

581
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: favorite that we've done so far. Nebraska, we highlighted it.

582
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: Gave us three here, we highlighted the middle one. Nebraska

583
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: starts the season six and zero headed into the Purdue game. Now,

584
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: a lot of you know Nebraska finished with a three

585
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: and nine record last year, So this sounds very bold,

586
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: doesn't it. You know what it is? To me? It's

587
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: about a six on the boldness scale and no more.

588
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: Why is that? Well, let me explain to you how

589
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: close this is to happening. If we just went by

590
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: point spreads. Let me tell you how close this is

591
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: to happening. One upset away. Nebraska figures to be favored

592
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: in five of their first six games. And look at

593
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: week four if you're watching on YouTube, if you're listening

594
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: on podcasts, Oklahoma comes in there and that's the fourth

595
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:13,479
Speaker 1: game of the season, and that is September seventeenth. And

596
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: if they can pull that off, you figure, Oklahoma, if

597
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: they're going to be vulnerable, this would be the year.

598
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: If they pull that off, they'll be favoriting against Northwestern

599
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: North Dakota, Georgia, Southern Indiana, at Rutgers. This could really happen.

600
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: They could go to Purdue six and Oh now, as

601
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: much as I could see that happening, I think we

602
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: all have to pour a huge bucket of cold water

603
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: on this and remind ourselves that Scott Frost is entering

604
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: his fifth year at Nebraska, and so far those records

605
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: have sounded a little something like this. Four and eight,

606
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: five and seven, three and five COVID year three and nine.

607
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: They're over on. The win total is seven and a

608
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: half this year, so big things are expected. Clearly a

609
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: career year is expected from the odds makers. Part of

610
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: that is due to well a lot of portal movement,

611
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: second most portal movement in college football behind USC. Part

612
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: of that is due to Casey Thompson being quarterback there,

613
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,479
Speaker 1: part of that is due to how many close losses

614
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: they had last year, and part of it is just

615
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: due to the fact that they've got a workable schedule.

616
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, they could be six and zero. And also, Colin,

617
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: could you throw their schedule back up for a second,

618
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: right quick, because if you look at the conference games

619
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: that they play to open the season, They've got Northwestern,

620
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: They've got Indiana and at Rutgers. Those are the three

621
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: Big Ten games they play before the Purdue game. Those

622
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: are the three lowest over underwin total teams in the conference.

623
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: So if I were to construct this schedule, I could

624
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: not have constructed it any more favorably. You're only a

625
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: you finished three and nine last year, and you're only

626
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: a dog once before you play a game mid October.

627
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: That's there, that's there for the taking. All right, last

628
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: one here, we got to do the acronym instead of

629
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: the name of the school. For reasons that have been

630
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: noted on this show before, Brigham Young is going to

631
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: embarrass the Pac twelve again with wins at Oregon and

632
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: at Stanford. I called this a seven on the boldness scale.

633
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: Now where are these games? Well, Oregon is early, they

634
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: play them week three in Eugene. They play at Stanford

635
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: the last week of the regular season. What do you

636
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: know about Brigham Young? Probably not a whole lot. Well,

637
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: we told you the other night. And this is a

638
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,479
Speaker 1: stat that bears repeating. Keeping in mind when you're going

639
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: to the betting window. One of nineteen teams in Power

640
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: five that return a head coach, both coordinators, and a quarterback,

641
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: they are second in the country in overall returning production.

642
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: They return eighty eight percent of their production last year,

643
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: which we value as a stat much more than number

644
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: of returning starters. How much production do you return eighty

645
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: eight percent of what was a really good team last

646
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: year returns production wise this year, this is a really

647
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: good team. They're going to be better than most teams

648
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: that Oregon plays in Pac twelve. So that game at

649
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: Oregon Week three, that's no gimme at all. And certainly

650
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: they'd be favored right now if they played Stanford. Stanford's

651
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: over under win totals four and a half. Now Oregon

652
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: is up there around the favorites to win the Pac

653
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: twelve championship there at nine. This could happen. In fact,

654
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: if they beat Oregon in Week three, they're probably on

655
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: the national radar. So I gave this a six. That's

656
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: a tough game week three, but it's early in the year,

657
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: new staff at Oregon. It's gonna be one of the

658
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: most physical challenges they have all year. So I gave

659
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: that a six. I don't know, that's not any bolder

660
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: than a six to me. And if Brigham Young does that,

661
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: then it totally flips the coin. Because you and I

662
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: have talked about how big it would be if Oregon

663
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: were to upset Georgia and Utah beats Florida in Week one. Well,

664
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: the other side of that is you're gonna let brighamiong

665
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: come out there and slap you around again as a conference.

666
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: Don't let that happen. It's not a good look for

667
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: anyone except the folks in Provo, of course, which is

668
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: a place I still haven't been able to go to.

669
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: See a game yet, but those are bold predictions Version

670
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: eleven point zero. As always, I will be active in

671
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: the comments. They're watching us, not in Marietta, Georgia, although

672
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: they probably are, but in Murrietta, California. Thank you for tuning.

673
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: In Hattiesburg, Mississippi is watching. Vandelia, Missouri is watching. And

674
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: our friends in Munich, Germany are watching. We had a

675
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: few German shout outs to give, so that's one of them.

676
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: We've got them lined up. The transfer portal is the

677
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: biggest story in college football. It's our most popular topic

678
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: on the show, and we have to talk about some things.

679
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: Now that the portal player rankings for this cycle are finalized,

680
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: you can find them over on twenty four to seven

681
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: sports dot com, but I want you to pay attention

682
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: to some things. The first thing is out of the

683
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: top twenty five, there are six quarterbacks in those rankings.

684
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: Also USC and Ole Miss in the team rankings are

685
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: number one and number two. If you had to guess

686
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: without looking by the way, how many kids out of

687
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: the transfer portal do you think they have combined to

688
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: take Southern cal Ole Miss. The answer is thirty four

689
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: combined players added to those rosters out of the transfer portal.

690
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: Nebraska just told you a second ago. If you're watching

691
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: the live show, they are the second most active portal

692
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: team behind USC. Nebraska has added sixteen kids so far

693
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: this cycle. It's going to shape every conference race. I mean,

694
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: I'm about to talk about some of this. You will

695
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: quickly realize what I mean when I say there is

696
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,439
Speaker 1: no conference race that will avoid being massively shaped by

697
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: what has happened in the transfer portal. Okay, so quarterback

698
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,720
Speaker 1: rankings I want to talk about first and foremost. Caleb

699
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: Williams is the number one overall player here, goes from

700
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: Oklahoma to USSE. Quinn Yours is the number two overall

701
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: player obviously goes from Ohio State to Texas. The first

702
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: thing I want to know from you is do you

703
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 1: agree with that order? Because I cannot tell you how

704
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: fervently some people have reached out to me and said, oh,

705
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: I think Quinn Yours is best overall player there. But

706
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: yet when I'm looking at the process our guys go

707
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: through to make those rankings, experience is going to matter

708
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: a whole lot there. So I certainly get how I mean,

709
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: if you're splitting hairs, I'd give Caleb Williams the and

710
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 1: I'm Skyhigh and Quinnywers. I give Caleb Williams the nod,

711
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 1: But think about the difference potentially that could be made here,

712
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: I said the other day, and I got mocked for

713
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: it over on the peristyle. That's the USC message board here.

714
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 1: I've got a very, very love hate relationship with those folks.

715
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: I love them, they hate me. That's how that works.

716
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: I said, you know, USC could finish as a five

717
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 1: loss team, or they can win the Pac twelve championship.

718
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: And they rightfully called me out for not making a

719
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: bold prediction. But the whole point was I was making

720
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: the least bold statement effort. Having a cat like Caleb

721
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: Williams walk in the door gives such potential volatility to

722
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: your win loss scenarios when August comes around. On this show,

723
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: we take the biggest teams in the country and we

724
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: do best worst, most likely record scenarios. Well, with USC,

725
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: the gap could be like five or six games. And

726
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: I hate to do it that way, but that's quite

727
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: literally what we're looking at out there. They could win

728
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: the Pac twelve, they could go to the playoff. They

729
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: could have multiple games where you look and say, what

730
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: if they lose four games? The same thing could be

731
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: said for Texas, like Caleb Williams goes to USC, Quinn

732
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: Ewers goes to Texas. My point is, when you mentioned

733
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: USC and Texas this year, I don't care if your

734
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: I mean, let's just pick someone random. I don't care.

735
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: If you're a New Hampshire football fan, you're watching your

736
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: team first and foremost, but you're checking those teams out.

737
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: At the very least those quarterbacks moved the needle for you. Now,

738
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: let's get a little bit more specific with positions. There

739
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: are three well there are three of them, but in

740
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 1: a much more real sense, there are three wide receivers

741
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: in the top ten of the player rankings here, and

742
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: I want to spend a couple of seconds on each

743
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: one of them. Jordan Addison, most recently, and very very shrewdly,

744
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: chose the moment in time that Nick Saban and Jimbo

745
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: Fisher went at each other to announce I'm leaving Pitt.

746
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: I'm going to USC. A lot of you knew it

747
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: was going to happen for like a month, but I'm

748
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,240
Speaker 1: doing it while that big dust cloud down south is present.

749
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: And he did it, and he's there now. This is

750
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: the number three overall player and the overall twenty four

751
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: to seven Sports Transfer Portal player rankings. That is the

752
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 1: belitanikof Award winner for best receiver in the country last year.

753
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: I think that when you look at how their wide

754
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: receiver room is going to stack up at usc to

755
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: get a true number one thread in there is so

756
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: so important because they're going to have a lot of

757
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: guys that can now naturally fall into place because a

758
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 1: guy like Jordan Addison walked in the room. I also

759
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 1: look at Mario Williams, who is also going to Southern

760
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,720
Speaker 1: Cal at number nine is he was a second leading

761
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: receiver at Oklahoma as a true freshman last year, goes

762
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 1: out there with Lincoln Riley. There's not much guessing about

763
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: what kind of impact he's gonna make. But Jermaine Burton

764
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 1: at number ten there, that's one of the more intriguing

765
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: moves to me because that's a wide receiver who probably

766
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: has first round raw physical ability and didn't realize that

767
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: at Georgia just because it wasn't the system they were

768
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: playing in. They're not doing anything wrong. They just won

769
00:37:55,960 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: a national championship. But for Jermaine Burton. This is this

770
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: is the Jamison Williams guy this year. I'm not comparing

771
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: the two players. I'm saying if you're looking for a

772
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: guy to come from relative national obscurity to just popping

773
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: off and going for fifteen hundred yards, he's the guy

774
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 1: who gives himself that opportunity if he's healthy. He is

775
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: that kind of guy. He is a number one receiver type,

776
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: especially if you got Bryce young Thorn you the ball.

777
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: Running back is another position to pay close attention to. Here,

778
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: so the order breaks down like this. There are two

779
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: running backs in the top ten of the final player rankings.

780
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: Jamiir Gibbs from Georgia Tech to Alabama. I've told you

781
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: I thought he was the best player in the Atlantic

782
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 1: Coast Conference last year. Total package. He is a big

783
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: time and dynamic receiving threat out of the backfield. And

784
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: to give you an idea of how much Alabama lacked

785
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,919
Speaker 1: that last year, Brian Robinson had two hundred and ninety

786
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: six receiving yards. You go back to the year before

787
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: they won the national championship, they played less games. Najee

788
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: Harris had like twice that many, and he was playing

789
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: on a team with the Heisman Trophy winner at wide receiver,

790
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: so they need a more dynamic presence back there. I

791
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: thought Jason McClellan would have been that for them before

792
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: he got hurt last year, could very well be that

793
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 1: again this year. But Jamiir Gibbs is there at fourth.

794
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: Check out number eight Zach Evans, because that's a guy

795
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: I'm sky high on now. I just told you how

796
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: high I am on Gibbs, which should tell you something

797
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: when I inform you. I think Zach Evans may end

798
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: up being the best tailback in the SEC West this year.

799
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 1: Transfer portal or not, he fits the same description. He

800
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: is also very very versatile, Swiss army knife kind of guy.

801
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: He's very dynamic, got very good vision, very physical, has

802
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: the ability to be a total game breaker at Old Miss,

803
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: especially when you consider how many opportunities he's going to get.

804
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: Just think about the size of the opportunity in front

805
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 1: of Zach Evans, what he was coming out of high

806
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 1: school and what he now could be fully realized in

807
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 1: terms of potential at Old Miss. Some other things to

808
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: look for here, just outside the top ten guys that

809
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 1: I will be looking for to make an instant impact.

810
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: Drew Sanders who transferred away from Bama. He's gone to Arkansas.

811
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: One thing to keep in mind, he was an outside

812
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: linebacker at Alabama. They're going to move him inside at Arkansas.

813
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: He's going to be an every down guy for them.

814
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 1: Huge pickup, one of the biggest pickups that because he's

815
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 1: not an offensive guy. Didn't make the national headlines, but

816
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 1: it sure you made local headlines. There no character concern.

817
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: He was just on a loaded situation at Alabama and

818
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: went to Arkansas, So keep an eye on him. Spencer Ratler,

819
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: of course at the quarterback position for South Carolina, this

820
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 1: is as big a program impact. Remember out of the

821
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,959
Speaker 1: portal as we had, that was a massive splash because

822
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,240
Speaker 1: that was very unforeseen. No one knew that was coming

823
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,479
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden boom him. Austin Stagner also

824
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: went with him the tight end from Oklahoma. So Spencer

825
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: Ratler is going to be a very very integral part

826
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: of South Carolina this year. And then the side note

827
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 1: for them, since there's still an up and coming staff

828
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: and an up and coming program, is if they overachieve again

829
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: this year, it really signified that, Okay, we've got some

830
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: staying power and look at what we just did. We

831
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: just brought a quarterback in and look what we did

832
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: for him. What could we do for you? You can

833
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: very easily sense how that messaging would work in recruiting.

834
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: Go back to Texas for a second. There's been a

835
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 1: lot to talk about how many kids they've brought in

836
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: and how much of their roster can they overturn Isaiah

837
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: and Nayor is a wide receiver that played at Wyoming

838
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: that you probably didn't know a lot about, that you

839
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 1: will know a lot about this year. Isaiah Nayer is

840
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 1: one of the most important players Texas has brought in.

841
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: He'll be one of the most important players on their

842
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 1: team this year. I know there's been a lot of

843
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: talk about a Jai Hall, It's been a lot to

844
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:40,280
Speaker 1: talk about Julil Billingsley. I would put much more faith

845
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: right now in Isaiah Nayor. I'm just I think they've

846
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: been a lot more pleased with what they've gotten from

847
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: him on and off the field so far relative to

848
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: the other two names I just mentioned. I'll leave that

849
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: at that. Also, Dylan Gabriel at Oklahoma, We've mentioned him earlier.

850
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel is kind of like the Oklahoma version of

851
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: what Spencer Rattler is at South Carolina. They are guys

852
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: that have been they've been brought in, they will immediately start,

853
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,479
Speaker 1: so the opportunity is there for him and they will

854
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,439
Speaker 1: totally determine those team's respective fates this year. And Dylan

855
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: Gabriel is a guy who went to UCLA for like

856
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes before he redirects his final destination to Oklahoma.

857
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: There is so much to look at here. I would

858
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: strongly encourage you because of how much this is part

859
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: of the fabric of the sport now and moving forward.

860
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 1: If you don't know the transfer portal, you don't know

861
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 1: college football right now. So don't be taken by surprise.

862
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 1: Don't be the guy or girl who's sitting there in

863
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: week three saying why I thought that guy played for Georgia.

864
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: Don't be that person. This is why we don't have

865
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: an offseason around here. Twenty four seven sports dot Com,

866
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: or you can just replay this segment over and over again.

867
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: There's a lot of meat on the bone in these

868
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: transfer portal rankings, both the team rankings and the player rankings.

869
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 1: I would highly encourage you to be well versed on this.

870
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: Certainly if you plan on betting any of your money

871
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:01,959
Speaker 1: on the sport, you better know, you better know. Okay,

872
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: we got a couple of really good questions here, Oh,

873
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: really good questions. Where do we start? You know, let's

874
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 1: start with the game day question. A lot of a

875
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: lot of you know what this is about and a

876
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: lot of you don't know what this is about? From Calhoun, Georgia,

877
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: Charlie asked me to tell the story about how we

878
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:23,240
Speaker 1: got the show banned from College Game Day as someone

879
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: who played a role. Charlie says, it makes me proud.

880
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: Hashtag producer Jesse isn't real. I can only vouch for

881
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: one of these things totally, and that is yeah, we

882
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: kind of sort of accidentally got the show banned from

883
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: College Game Day. Here's what I need to tell you

884
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,439
Speaker 1: first and foremost, And if you're watching on YouTube, which

885
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: I highly advise you to do, you are seeing some

886
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: of the highlights. I am a traditionalist. I grew up

887
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: watching College Game Day. I appreciate the fabric of this sport.

888
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: I appreciate the legacy aspects of this sport. I'm not

889
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 1: some revolutionary I'm not a counterculture guy. So the last

890
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 1: thing on this planet I have ever tried to do

891
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: is take an institution like college game Day and wreck it.

892
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: But at the same time, this is America, and I

893
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: cannot control what our audience does. And so here was

894
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: the real As you know, famously, we have a zero

895
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: dollar marketing budget on this show. So I may have

896
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:18,280
Speaker 1: once upon a time, at some point last August whispered

897
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: into this microphone. You know, how'd be cool if we

898
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 1: got a we got a late kicksign on college game

899
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 1: Day notice singular a late kicksign. That's all I was

900
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 1: going for, if we could just get our brand visible

901
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: there once. Hey, we've paid for our entire year's worth

902
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: of a marketing budget. Well, I don't know that I've

903
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: ever asked our audience to do something that they didn't

904
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: tenfold over deliver on. This was more like a one

905
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:46,879
Speaker 1: hundredfold over deliverance. So there we sit in Charlotte, North

906
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: Carolina week one game day was there. It was Georgia Clemson,

907
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: and there we are wet. We got a couple of

908
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: pay stage signs, we got some late kicksigns on the broadcast.

909
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 1: I'm so happy. All's well, that ends well. And I

910
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: even took one of these bad boys a chalice of supremacy.

911
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: More on this in a second. And I promised one

912
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: of these to anyone who got our logo on college

913
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 1: game day. And you can't see it, but engraved on

914
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: these Actually maybe if I turn it that way, Yeah,

915
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: there's the Payte State logo. Well, here was the problem.

916
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: I expected to have to give away one of those.

917
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:25,439
Speaker 1: We had like nine the first week, and so then

918
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 1: week two, I'm in ames Iowa for Iowa versus Iowa State.

919
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: College game day is in Ames, Iowa for Iowa Iowa State.

920
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 1: Ashton Kutcher is the guest celebrity picker. But when I

921
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: had screenshots sent to in my hotel room as I

922
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,399
Speaker 1: was packing up and headed to the stadium, it wasn't

923
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 1: of Ashton Kutcher. It was of one of you with

924
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 1: a big fat poster board with a late kick right

925
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: over his right shoulder, TV left stage left. And I

926
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: cannot tell you how many of you tagged me in that.

927
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 1: And that wasn't the only one there that day. Then

928
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: the next week, where were they? They were at Auburn

929
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: Penn State. So were we? We just I viewed as

930
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: game day followed us early in the season. You can

931
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: also say we follow game day, several of you in

932
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: State College showed out. This is when the poster patrol

933
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: started to take notice. I've been told since and so

934
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: we got ourselves some more recognition. And the Chali, I mean,

935
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: this was going to be a singular thing. I was

936
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: going to give away a Chalice of supremacy. All of

937
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 1: a sudden, we're racking up chali of supremacy, which of

938
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: course is the plural of chalice, and boy, the price tag.

939
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: We may have a zero dollar marketing budget. The Chalai

940
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 1: budget went through the roof after week four of college

941
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: game Day. Week five, they were in Chicago for Notre

942
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 1: Dame Wisconsin. I think we got a couple on air then,

943
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 1: but week six is when it went down. So week

944
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: six it's Arkansas at Georgia and game day is in Athens,

945
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 1: and so were you, and I think it it felt

946
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 1: like millions. It easily was dozens of game day signs

947
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: that were on and I'm well, I'm over the moon,

948
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:04,839
Speaker 1: you know, I'm looking at it and I'm thinking, on

949
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 1: one hand, man, it's kind of a little bit ridiculous.

950
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: But on the other hand, hey, look paint steak. Hey

951
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: that's my face on that poster. Well, then about eleven am,

952
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: the eye Josh lights up like a Christmas tree, kind

953
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: of like it is right now as a matter of fact,

954
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 1: from disrespectful friends who know I'm on air. And that morning,

955
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: what it was was a bunch of Twitter and Instagram

956
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 1: dms from you guys, and you were irate, a bunch

957
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 1: of all caps dms that morning. And what you were

958
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,720
Speaker 1: telling me was, my sign just got taken, My poster

959
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:40,800
Speaker 1: just got taken. Hey, my entire display just got taken.

960
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: And then came the krem de la Creme. And I

961
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 1: don't have a picture of this, but one of you

962
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: were able to get a snapshot of this huge pile

963
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: of late Kick posters that the poster patrol at College

964
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: Game Day security in your world came and took and

965
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 1: they just they just made a little mountain of them.

966
00:47:58,400 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: And then one of you was so bold as to

967
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: sneak behind the barrier and get your poster back and

968
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 1: took a picture of you with your once confiscated poster.

969
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: And this was the day that we were informed in

970
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: no uncertain terms that the late Kick and everything associated

971
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: with it had been banned on College Game Day and

972
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 1: any other ESPN property so I thought to myself self,

973
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 1: we've already gotten what we wanted out of this. What

974
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 1: should we do? So Director Colin and I we convened

975
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: the next morning when I got back in town from

976
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 1: wherever I had been, and we decided, you know what,

977
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 1: let's reach out, let's be adults about this, let's reach

978
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: across the aisle, and let's just let's call a spade

979
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 1: a spade. Let's just issue a truce as long as

980
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: they'll acknowledge us. I knew in my heart of hearts

981
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 1: that they cannot acknowledge us. That would be foolish on

982
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 1: their part. But friend of the program kirkhurf Street did

983
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 1: reach out to us at the eleventh hour and he

984
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: did acknowledge us, and he said, hey, love what you're doing.

985
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: What in the world's happening. I didn't know anything about this,

986
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 1: and so we called the dogs off for now. And

987
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: I cannot control, like I said, what our audience does

988
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 1: this year. I will say, maybe we'll incentivize some other

989
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 1: kind of behavior so that we don't get banned from

990
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,240
Speaker 1: another show. We didn't even mess with Big Noon Kickoff,

991
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 1: so it was just a college game day thing. But yeah,

992
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 1: we got banned from college game Day. Now, I grew

993
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: up watching college game Day. So if you ever told

994
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 1: a little JP that he was going to be banned

995
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: from college game Day, I would have cried. I can't

996
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: tell you I didn't cry this past year when we

997
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: got banned, but maybe a tear of joy this time around.

998
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 1: So that's the story of how you, more so than

999
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: I got us banned from college game Day. Are you ashamed?

1000
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: I'm not either. Moving on here, last question, thank you

1001
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: so much for being tuned in. The over under for

1002
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: the time to get off air tonight is n fifty five.

1003
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 1: I think we can hit this under Alan hit us up.

1004
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: Why do so many five star recruits end up being

1005
00:49:56,600 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: busts podcast listener from College Dale, Tennessee, the home of

1006
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 1: Little Debbie. Is that true? It's got to be. Why

1007
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 1: would he have said it if it's not? So? Shout

1008
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 1: out to College Dale, Tennessee and Little Debbie. Love both

1009
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 1: of you equally. What do we mean by recruiting bust?

1010
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: So I just took a very serious tone because this

1011
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: is a very serious topic for me. I get very

1012
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 1: aggravated about it when people say bust recruiting bust. What

1013
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: does it mean we cannot simply mean any player who

1014
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: has rated five stars that didn't go on to be

1015
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: a first round draft pick. We've got to make it

1016
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 1: more complex than that, because there are so many factors

1017
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 1: that go into play that can't be taken into a

1018
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,720
Speaker 1: star ranking. So the proper way to interpret a star ranking,

1019
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: I think, is what is the most bastardized portion of

1020
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 1: this whole process. Some people look at a star ranking

1021
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 1: and they think, Okay, twenty four to seven Sports is

1022
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 1: saying that kid's a guaranteed first round draft pick. And

1023
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,879
Speaker 1: if they're wrong, that means that it's a bust. That's

1024
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 1: not what a star ranking is. That's never what it's been.

1025
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 1: What it is is a portion. If we go back

1026
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: to the pie, I have to dumb it down to

1027
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: the pie all the time. If we go back to

1028
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:07,359
Speaker 1: the pie, then a star ranking is a slice. It's

1029
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: a big slice. I mean, it's basically a raw talent metric,

1030
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: but it's a slice of the pie that, if baked

1031
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 1: fully makes a complete college football player. No One in

1032
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:20,879
Speaker 1: our rankings Council meetings, which I formerly have sat in on,

1033
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 1: no one's there claiming that a star ranking is the

1034
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 1: end all, be all it's an absolute true North Star

1035
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: in terms of guidance on what a player is going

1036
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: to be. It is guidance, but it's not total and

1037
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 1: nature because that's not everything that goes into making a

1038
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: college football player. How are you going to take a

1039
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 1: guy's mental disposition into account when giving him a star rating?

1040
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 1: How are you supposed to know how frequently he's going

1041
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 1: to go to class? How are you supposed to know

1042
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: if he's going to get in trouble and his girlfriend's

1043
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 1: gonna have all kinds of drama with him in his

1044
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: sophomore year and he's just mentally gonna be checked out?

1045
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: How would you ever know that watching him play at

1046
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 1: modern day high school down there in southern California? You wouldn't,

1047
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: is the end. So here's the best way I can

1048
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: explain it to you. A lot of you are going

1049
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 1: on vacation this time of year. Verbo Citrus bull tied

1050
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: into college football. So maybe you're on Verbo and maybe

1051
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 1: you're you're getting a little room of property and you got

1052
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: a nice condo there on the beach, and everyone's all

1053
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: excited and ready. But let me ask you, does a

1054
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 1: beachfront what would it be a beachfront. Yeah, does a

1055
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: beachfront condo guarantee a good vacation? The answer is no.

1056
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,320
Speaker 1: Many of you have experienced this before. You got the

1057
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: best accommodations you could possibly have, but you got family drama,

1058
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 1: and you got a cousin who wasn't invited and shouldn't

1059
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 1: be there to begin with. That wrecks the entire thing.

1060
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:40,959
Speaker 1: Or you know, maybe your credit card gets declined because

1061
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: your identity has been stolen. Well, how stupid would it

1062
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 1: be to stand on the beach and throw rocks at

1063
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 1: the condo. It's not the condo's fault. The condo is

1064
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 1: just the condo. It's just there. And it's the same

1065
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 1: way in recruiting. If a five star kid goes to

1066
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 1: college and washes out for reasons that involve neck up

1067
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 1: portions of the game, he doesn't grasp the playbook or

1068
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: mentally he's checked out because he has family issues back

1069
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 1: home that has nothing to do with the star rating.

1070
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 1: So if he doesn't pan out, you don't look at

1071
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: that kid, or at least I don't in good conscience

1072
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: to say, boy, the recruiting service has really whiffed on him.

1073
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,439
Speaker 1: Because here's normally what you're saying, if a five star

1074
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 1: kid doesn't pan out, if you go to his offer list,

1075
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 1: you see Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia, Clemson. So was it

1076
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: an Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, Ohio State bust because they apparently

1077
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:32,759
Speaker 1: evaluated him to the point where every one of them

1078
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 1: thought he's good enough to be a Buck guy, he's

1079
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: good enough to be a Clemson Tiger, he's good enough

1080
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: to play for Oklahoma or Alabama. The answer is they

1081
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: weren't all wrong about their evaluation. It's just there are

1082
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: certain things that evaluations cannot possibly take into account. And

1083
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: that's why the star ranking, even as I sit here

1084
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: in a twenty four to seven sports studio, should not

1085
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 1: be the end all be all When you're rating a player,

1086
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 1: that's just the closest thing you can get in this

1087
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: world unless you have psychic a bit, which I don't

1088
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 1: think any of our guys have, at least they haven't

1089
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 1: told me. I've read all their bios, so I don't

1090
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: think about recruiting busts the same. Now, if a guy

1091
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: gets on campus and he doesn't have it physically, if

1092
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:12,800
Speaker 1: you watch him and he just looks like he's running

1093
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: a gear slower than everyone else then you can start

1094
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 1: talking about recruiting bus. You know, if a guy has

1095
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 1: too lighting the bredges his junior year as an offensive

1096
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 1: tackle and he was a five star coming out of

1097
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 1: high school, that could be a recruiting bust. But man like,

1098
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: if a guy's grandmother gets a terminal illness and he's

1099
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:32,720
Speaker 1: three thousand miles away and he just he's a family

1100
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,319
Speaker 1: kid and he's distracted by what's going on at home

1101
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,760
Speaker 1: in the real world, and he never really is fully

1102
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: invested in college football, that's not a recruiting bust. That's

1103
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: just life. That stuff happens. I'll tell you what's happening

1104
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: with the show there were. We're done for the evening,

1105
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: but we are certainly not done for the season. We

1106
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 1: have just been cranking out content because you guys have

1107
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:56,760
Speaker 1: been gobbling it up. Our numbers are insane, so insane.

1108
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 1: I tell you that every time, but it's true every time,

1109
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 1: So thank you all. We ask the only thing we

1110
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,919
Speaker 1: ask is subscribe. We're getting ever closer to one hundred

1111
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 1: thousand subs on the YouTube channel. Subscribe get us to

1112
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 1: one hundred k. In this chalice of supremacy pales in

1113
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 1: comparison to what we'll be able to do on the show. Also,

1114
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 1: I mentioned that I was going to make an announcement

1115
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 1: those of you who did get your signs on game

1116
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 1: day and I did not get you your chalai yet.

1117
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: It's coming. Supply chain rectified finally, at least in terms

1118
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 1: of the chali, so got a fresh batch in. Probably

1119

Speaker 1: gonna head over to FedEx tomorrow and get those sent out.

1120
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:34,719

1121
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:36,959
Speaker 1: been delayed. Not my fault. I just want the credit.
