38
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 2: on the Solid Verbal Board of Trustees. Here is the

39
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 2: way this works. We have this game. It's called Run

40
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: the Board. Run the Board is a pick them game.

41
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: You pick ten games every week throughout the college football season.

42
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: At the end, the top five get immediate access, immediate

43
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 2: membership into our Board of Trustees. We have an annual meeting,

44
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: all sorts of stuff that you get access to. The

45
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: weekly winners we crown as well. But here's the deal.

46
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: We didn't do this last year. Week zero only five

47
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: games to pick, but they count as to a piece,

48
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: which means extra credit weekend. After this weekend, you're never

00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: get like ten bonus points this week, those are going

00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,320

Speaker 2: the college football season.

63

Speaker 1: I am bringing security. I'm bringing muscle. Because you never know, Ty,

75
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:56,760

00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: of a week zero preview. Not a whole lot to preview,

82
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 2: but we'll try to talk to you through some of

83
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: our bets, and then we're going to answer the second

84
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 2: half of the questions that we got here. We're just

85
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 2: unloading that big sack of a mail bag, Dan. We're

86
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 2: going to talk as much college football as we can.

87
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: This episode, All of our episodes driven by our good

88
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: friends over at Geico. We thank them for their support,

89
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: and why don't we just jump right on into this thing.

90
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: Dan. Let's congratulations, Skippy, you've got mail.

91
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: You've got mail on the solid rubble as often as

92
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 2: we can. We've been doing it about once a month

93
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 2: here in the college football offseason. We like to pay

94
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: homage to those of you who right into celibrableotgmail dot com,

95
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: to those of you who respond on Twitter, on Instagram,

96
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 2: on Facebook, anywhere, really post the call for your college

97
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 2: football questions.

98
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: Dan, that's true.

99
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: On this here part one, We're gonna start with Colin

100
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: one of the best questions perhaps we have ever received. Okay,

101
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,559
Speaker 2: with all the change that is happening in the sport

102
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: of college football, what is one thing you would freeze?

103
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: He is freezing quotation marks. I don't know what that means.

104
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 2: If you had the power, one thing that you could

105
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 2: say right now would never change, Dan, It's a good question.

106
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: The Pac twelve Conference.

107
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 3: The Pack ten twelve, West Coast Major Football.

108
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: Okay, So aside from that, I think the most foundational,

109
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: fundamental thing about the sport is the day on which

110
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: games are played. I would say, no more games than

111
00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: we already see outside of Saturday, Saturdays are sacred. If

112
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: there was one thing I could change, and I know

113
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: that TV executives are going to say, wow, if we

114
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: have more games on Wednesday Thursday, we have bigger audiences

115
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: because not as much competition Saturdays and January first, the

116
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: number of games leaving major bowl games leaving January first.

117
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: I know we have the playoff. I know there are

118
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: different moving pieces to the sport now. I understand that,

119
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: but we already lost the holiday elements of New Year's

120
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: Day in college football. That was college Football's day, in

121
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: the way that they're Super Bowl Sunday, and the way

122
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: that Christmas has been an NBA holiday of sorts, like

123
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: it's the first real day of the NBA season. It's

124
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: probably too late to salvage New Year's Day, but Saturday

125
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: is what I would It's one of the things that

126
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: was the first thing that came to mind when I

127
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: saw Collins question, is keep as much on Saturday as

128
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: humanly possible. I like it.

129
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 2: I like where your head's at. I am in a

130
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 2: similar place. We have talked a lot on this show

131
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: about how college football is scaffolding upon scaffolding upon scaffolding.

132
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 2: We have had numerous guests on this show. Andy Staples

133
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: comes to mind, Ari Wasserman comes to mind. We've had

134
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: Bruce Felman on this show time and again talk about

135
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: this very concept. Stuart Bandell. We haven't had Stu on

136
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 2: in a while, but I know He's been on here

137
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: talking about it as well. The whole notion of a

138
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 2: college football zar.

139
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: One leader, that they're not freezing that though.

140
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 2: One leader else let me finish, please think okay, okay,

141
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: sorry sorry sorry, one leader to rule them all right?

142
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 2: Surely that would make things better, would it?

143
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: You want? You want continued chaos at the top? Is

144
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:37,679
Speaker 1: that what you're saying?

145
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: College football is chaos? They start with the same letter,

146
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 2: perhaps for a reason. That's sort of what gives it

147
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: the charm, The scaffolding upon the scaffolding, upon the scaffolding.

148
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: I think I would freeze the current state of leadership.

149
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: I know that might not be good for the long

150
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: term health of the sport, but from a fan standpoint,

151
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 2: from a comedy standpoint, from a content standpoint, since we're

152
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: in this business now, Dan m h, it's really hard

153
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 2: to beat a sport with nobody at the top, with

154
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: nobody actually running the whole damn thing. It definitely makes

155
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 2: it more amusing. It definitely creates goofy circumstances that are

156
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: only possible in American sports, that are only possible in

157
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: college football because no one's running it. I would freeze that.

158
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: What about would you freeze Notre Dame's independence. No, okay, No,

159
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: you think for the good of the sport and the

160
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: good of the Notre Dame experience, they should be joining

161
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: a major conference.

162
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 2: I believe so. Yeah, and I believe it's inevitable.

163
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: That's different. I'm just talking about your heart here, not

164
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: your head.

165
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: No, I've long wanted them to join the Big Ten.

166
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 2: I've long wanted that to happen. It hasn't happened yet.

167
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: I am granted. I am not a Notre Dame alum.

168
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: I am a lifelong Notre Dame fan. Perhaps I am

169
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: not woven into that culture of independence that seems to

170
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,359
Speaker 2: be pervasive throughout the Notre Dame community. But okay, I've

171
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 2: long felt like it just made too much sense put

172
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 2: them in the Big Ten. So no, I wouldn't freeze that.

173
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: I would freeze surrounding culture to the sport. I would

174
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: freeze the idea that college football teams, programs, the universe

175
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: at large should always have marching bands, should always have

176
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: the live mascots they've always had. Should the mascots and

177
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: those animals be treated appropriately? Right? I don't want to,

178
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: you know, if Ramsey's or bevo Or and Ralphy. Any

179
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: of these animals are sort of treated poorly, Yeah, that's fine,

180
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: let's move on. But if they're treated well, if they're

181
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 1: living a comfortable, nice life, let's maintain that. Let's maintain tailgating. Right,

182
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: there's this propensity for a lot of those in power

183
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: or who aspire to be in power, saying why are

184
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: we doing this? Doesn't make any sense. This is losing

185
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: us money. We need that the culture surrounding the live

186
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: event of college football, the sport in general. That's something

187
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: that I want to put into the Jurassic Park Amber,

188
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: never to be cracked open by by you know, Richard Attenborough,

189
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: who's the doctor in Jurassic Park. I keep making these

190
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: Jurassic Park analogies and screwing things up. John Hammond, John Hammond. Ah,

191
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: so we've got doctor Ian Malcolm, doctor Ellie Sadler, of course,

192
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: Laura Dern iconic outfit by the way, Doctor Alan Grant. Yeah,

193
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: it's it's the John Hammond. I want college football and

194
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: that amber and just appreciate it, uh, and not not

195
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: tear it open looking for.

196
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 2: Carried around on the knob of the cane right in perpetuity.

197
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: That's me, okay, Yeah, And just one of those things

198
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: where college football is pretty wonderful because of what makes

199
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 1: it different, not because of its potential to be similar

200
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: to other things. So that's that's what I would preserve.

201
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: That's what I would That's what I would freeze. How's that?

202
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: I I like it?

203
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: You want to pick the next question? Since I took

204
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 2: number one?

205
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: Who is the team building back to not greatness but

206
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: good ish like Virginia Tech or Northwestern? Who is that

207
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: team that obviously maybe they made a coaching change, maybe

208
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: they made significant changes to reverse a down cycle. Who

209
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: is that team that you believe is on its way

210
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: to course correcting back to a good, dangerous, threatening, competitive

211
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: level and they haven't been there recently?

212
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 2: Wow?

213
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: So is it a team that I believe will get there? Yeah,

214
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: they're not there yet. They're not there yet, but they're

215
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: heading in the right direction. Could be this year, next year,

216
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: the next couple of years, something like that, where like,

217
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: I feel confident that this team and I guess we're

218
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: defining that as comfortably Bowl teamy. Yeah, so eight wins

219
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: in that vicinity more often than not? Who is that

220
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: team that? Is it Virginia Tech? Is it Northwestern? After

221
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: a couple of down years. Who is that team? I

222
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: guess twenty twenty they won the West. That team that's

223
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: not there yet has traditionally been there in that eight

224
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: win Vicinity like, are you a Florida State believer?

225
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 2: Is this a Nebraska answer?

226
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: I guess if you're high on the Huskers this year.

227
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 2: I'm pretty high on the Huskers this year. I think

228
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 2: Nebraska's good. Nebraska's an interesting answer. I think Virginia Tech

229
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 2: is on the road. It won't happen this year. It's

230
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 2: a drive for six kind of year for the Hokies

231
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: this season. So I'm out on them this year, but

232
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 2: I do think it will happen at some point soon

233
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 2: because they have a lot of faith in Brent Prye.

234
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 2: I think Nebraska's probably my answer. Florida State. You know,

235
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: Florida State's probably there as well. I think they're on

236
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 2: the precipice really tough schedule this season. I hope that

237
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: doesn't come back to bite Mike Norvel, but I think

238
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 2: they're close to getting back to good See the problem

239
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 2: with an answer like Florida State, even Nebraska. These are

240
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 2: traditional powers in the college football world, right so getting

241
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 2: back to good ish probably is not good enough for

242
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: those fan bases long term totally, but that a wins

243
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 2: is goodish, A wins is goodish. Yeah, so getting there

244
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: I think would certainly represent progress.

245
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: What about second tier Steve Spurrier results for South Carolina?

246
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: So he got to eleven wins at South Carolina, which

247
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: seems like it's a tall task for Shane Beemer. But yeah,

248
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: if they can figure out quarterback and a post Spencer

249
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: Rattler world, that's interesting to me. That's interesting to me.

250
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: I think he'll be able to recruit well in the

251
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: long and medium term. Back to goodish. You know, I'm

252
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: high on Arizona and their potential.

253
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got Arizona here as an answer for another

254
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 2: one of the questions.

255
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: That they've won. They've won the PAC twelve South, which

256
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: technically does not exist anymore, but they've been a PAC

257
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: twelve championship contender. Yeah, so back to eight like they

258
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: should always the Arizona schools should always be dangerous in

259
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: the desert, that's you know, that's obvious to me. How

260
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: about Missi Miszoo has won the East. They have won

261
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,599
Speaker 1: a bunch of games both in the SEC and in

262
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: the Big twelve. They've recruited pretty well. They have a

263
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: quarterback of the future. I don't know if it's Brady Cook,

264
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: but they have a quarterback of the future waiting behind

265
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: him potentially in Sam Horn. Luther Burden was their five

266
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: star receiver that in this in this current class. So

267
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: can Miszoo quietly build back to good Ish.

268
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 2: I'm glad that you brought up Missoo because Missoo is

269
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 2: where I was gonna go next. I did. I did

270
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 2: the preview for Miszoo, and I remember you telling me

271
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 2: I was a little too high on a move. Maybe

272
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 2: pump the brakes a little bit on Eli Drinkwitz. Yeah,

273
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 2: we all like him, but come on, ty mm hmm.

274
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: I think that's an interesting answer. I think he's done

275
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 2: a hell of the job in the recruiting trail. This

276
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 2: is certainly a master motivator. He knows how to get

277
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: this team fired up. I do believe now they're kind

278
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 2: of past Connor Basil act or trying to move on

279
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: and go in a different direction. ATQUI quarterback Luther Burden

280
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: is plug and play as wide receiver one. I think

281
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 2: there's a chance that getting back to Goodish is in

282
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 2: the cards at some point in the very near future

283
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 2: for Maszoo caveat probably not this year. They could be

284
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: one of those pain in the ass teams this year

285
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 2: that we talked about as we went through our ten

286
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 2: preview episodes. Go back and listen out at soliverbo dot com.

287
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 2: Mazoo could be that kind of team where they're just

288
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: kind of always stuck in your crawl. Maybe they don't

289
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 2: win more than six games because they're in the SEC,

290
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 2: but could there be a pain in the ass enough

291
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 2: to knock somebody off big Yeah, Yeah, And that's always

292
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 2: kind of like the early indicator of a team that's

293
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: getting back to goodish, isn't it.

294
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: Yes, And the talent is relatively decent in the area.

295
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: The big thing to me in the short medium term

296
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: on the journey back to goodish is defense. It's when

297
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: Maszoo was not just goodish, but really really good. It

298
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: was the defensive lineman that they were finding and developing

299
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: in concert with you know, Doyel Green Beckham and the

300
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: running backs that they for Henry Josie like guys that

301
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: were Look, it's a different universe than where we were

302
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen. I get that. But if the

303
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: recruiting is there, if the defensive hiring is there, right,

304
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: they obviously had a legend in Barry Otam running the

305
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: defense when they were very good. I think they can

306
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: be interesting. Absolutely. I don't think it's it's so far

307
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: afield to say that MISSOO can be a relatively dangerous

308
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: team with the right roster. Yeah. Absolutely, I think that's

309
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: a good answer. Anybody else, anybody on the G five level,

310
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: like Boise State is interesting to me. It's been a

311
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: minute since we truly considered them to be a national danger.

312
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: But they were great. They were not good, they were great,

313
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: And so with Boise we're talking nine or ten wins,

314
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: I think is what would qualify relative I think to

315
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: what they can accomplish in the Mountain West. How do

316
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: you feel about that? I don't know.

317
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: I don't think Boise's been down.

318
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: Peron say, oh, I know, you know, because it's relative

319
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: to what poison see. It implies all about programs.

320
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 2: I'm down in order for them to get back to

321
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 2: goodish and I still think this is this is a

322
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 2: program in a bit of transition. But all told, they're

323
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: still in a pretty good place.

324
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: Can I give you a secret disaster of a program

325
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: that should be way better.

326
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: Secret disaster.

327
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. You're looking for a sound to encompass that.

328
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 2: I'm looking for a sound here. How about this, It's

329
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 2: been a while after played.

330
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: What about Navy? What about the middies? What about the

331
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: midshipmen of Navy? Like they shouldn't be after being so

332
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: competitive and good for so long. I understand you joining

333
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: a conference, a tough conference that that changes the calculus,

334
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: But I still think Navy should be better. You still

335
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: think right. It's one of those things. I don't know

336
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: if you can draw the straight line between Kendy a

337
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: model throwing his hat in the ring for various jobs.

338
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: Remember everything that happened with Khalil Tate in Arizona, and

339
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: that it's sort of a new portion of his time

340
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: in Annapolis because everybody that comes across him, it seems,

341
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: loves him. No, And I don't know if there's a

342
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: thing where there's like a weird afterglow where he you know,

343
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: Paul Johnson figured out the right place for him, and

344
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: it lasted for a good long time when he went

345
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: to Atlanta Georgia Tech that I wonder if there is

346
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: something to the adage of about a decade is about

347
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: how long you have at a place, at a job

348
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: before diminishing returns start creeping in and guys that are

349
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: able to you know you're Nick Sabans, etc. Are exceptions

350
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: to the rule. I wonder, given the unique nature of

351
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: Service Academy football, if Navy and Kenny Mounlolo are in

352
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: a weird rut together, it's it's.

353
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 2: Been a minute. If you look at at how Navy

354
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 2: has performed eleven and two back in twenty nineteen, but

355
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 2: since then COVID year three and seven, we kind of

356
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 2: throw that one out, but last season four and eight.

357
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 2: We'll see what twenty twenty two has in store. But

358
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 2: definitely trending in the wrong direction. Let's go to another

359
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 2: question here, Dan, Okay, this one is from Colonel egg Oh.

360
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 1: This is a great one.

361
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: Is there a piece of football equipment that you would

362
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 2: wear casually? M casually?

363
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: I would. You'll see this with running backs, remember Reggie

364
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 1: Bush did this, but you'll see it with running backs

365
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: a lot. The towel tucked into the belt, you would

366
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: do that. I just between the number of times that

367
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: I use the restroom, the number of meals that I'm

368
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: cooking per day. The number of times my you know,

369
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: I was just gluing things to the wall, The number

370
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: of times moving and building and just dealing with dirty

371
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: stuff and washing my hands. I could I could see

372
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: getting comfortable with a towel tucked in. But that's not

373
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: equipment per se.

374
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 2: See, I thought for sure with two small children, you

375
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 2: would have said, cup.

376
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm not at that point yet, But I could see

377
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: myself needing enhanced protection.

378
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 2: Two little rabble rousers running around the house. Got to

379
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 2: protect them.

380
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: Man, I don't know how common cups are in college

381
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: football in twenty twenty two. I'm not sure, and it

382
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: might be more of a baseball thing at the moment.

383
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: Did you wear at your old day job? Did you

384
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: wear a constant headset? Was that a thing that you

385
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 1: had to deal with? My wife had used to have

386
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: to do that.

387
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 2: For work when I worked from home. Yeah, when I

388
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 2: worked from home. But that doesn't qualify as football equipment

389
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 2: unless you're talking about the helmet that's got the radio

390
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:43,719
Speaker 2: in it.

391
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: You don't do yard work anymore, correct, You're doing no, No,

392
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: I do yard work. Do you think you would be

393
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: aided by additional grip of your lawn?

394
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 2: I could go I could definitely go around with some

395
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 2: sort of like glove situation.

396
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: Oh gloves, I was saying cleats.

397
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 2: No, I don't need cleats because then I have hardwood

398
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 2: floors and that's a problem.

399
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: But that's tricky.

400
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 2: I do think the gloves is something that would work.

401
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 2: What about just like a wristband. What about a wristband

402
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 2: one of the ones that the quarterbacks were, where all

403
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 2: the plays are in it, and I could just carry

404
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 2: that around with me, is like some sort of reference.

405
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 2: Maybe I could write in there a to do list

406
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 2: for the day.

407
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: So I had that idea. I talked about this with

408
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: our friend Gabe, that my invention would be a quarterback

409
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: wristband for to do lists, specifically at the grocery store.

410
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that idea a lot.

411
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: You're not constantly taking out your phone and unlocking it

412
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: and looking and putting it back. You're not walking around

413
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: with it because you're just got to push the cart

414
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: and like grabbing things off of shelves, et cetera, et cetera.

415
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: The wristband with grocery store to do list grocery store lists,

416
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: though I still say, not a piece of equipment and accessory.

417
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 2: Okay, so he's implying pads here of some sort. Yeah,

418
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 2: if you had to pick some kind of padding to

419
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 2: wear on your person throughout the course of a day. Yeah,

420
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 2: where are we going with here?

421
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: I probably enhanced uh sock and like a lance sock. Yeah,

422
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: thick socks. I go, thicker socks. That's not that's kind

423
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: of padding, but not really, because your feet are the

424
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: most important part. Double up though, bombus or whatever.

425
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, see, I would go. I think I go one

426
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 2: of those flat jackets. Okay, I think I because I

427
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 2: always like I'm always bumping into the corner of a

428
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 2: table or something and I'm jabbing myself in the ribs.

429
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 2: And plus, if you if you get it so they're

430
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 2: lower profile, no one knows you've got it on. If

431
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 2: the bully from the neighborhood comes around and tries to

432
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: give you a jab in the side, you're covered. If

433
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 2: you get hit in the corner in the ribs with

434
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 2: the corner of the counter, you're covered. And if it's

435
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 2: nice and tight around you, it's kind of like a

436
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 2: second skin. About the cooling vests that I think got banned,

437
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 2: you remember those, I'm very pro cooling vest. Yeah, you wear.

438
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: It under your uniform. During the summer, when you've got

439
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: a game in Starkville, or a game in Athens, or

440
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: a game in Tempe or something like that. Something to

441
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: keep you cool, keep the core cool KJD. Why is

442
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: Vandy so bad? Why is Vanderbilt so bad? So ty?

443
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: I texted Capital s someone who would know, someone who

444
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: a friend of mine? You would know a contact? Yes,

445
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: commitment by administration, lack of strategic plan, not having James Franklin,

446
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: that the administration talks a big game but can't get

447
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: out of their own way at times. But the belief

448
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: is that clark Lee is changing that I just I

449
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: tend to sell teams located in big, interesting cities. It's

450
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: just tough. It's just tough when it's seems like there

451
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: are more distractions, and I'm all for I'm mister distraction.

452
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: Nashville is a good time, Miami's a good time, La

453
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: is a good time, Austin's a good time. Chicago late

454
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: fall not great. You can succeed in Evanston. I think

455
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: there is something to that that you're not going to

456
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: a college town, that the college experience is different. I'm

457
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: sure going to Vanderbilt is great. I'm sure spending four years,

458
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: five years whatever. In Nashville is great, but yeah, that's tricky.

459
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: You have the academics, you have the glory elsewhere the

460
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: place is that you can be the next great Tennessee

461
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: or Georgia or Alabama or whatever quarterback. And so a

462
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:43,719
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt is trafficking in promising three stars that could develop

463
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: into something and have three six GPAs the pool is

464
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: just so much smaller. So that's the tricky thing that

465
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: you're going to need that commitment for facilities, for support staff,

466
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 1: for recruiting and recruiting nationally to v Anderbilt. There's just

467
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: there are more roadblocks, it seems.

468
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 2: But they believe clark Lee is the dude.

469
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: There is belief someone who would know there is a

470
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: belief that there is interesting upside and look, it's return

471
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: to good Ish, it's returned to James Franklin Vanderbilt that

472
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: the goals aren't lofty, the goals aren't you know, be

473
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: competitive nail quarterback, either through the portal or through recruiting

474
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: and field, especially given clark Ly's background, a surprisingly good

475
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: defense in the way that when Northwestern is Northwestern, they're

476
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: they're taking care of business on that side of the ball.

477
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: Developing NFL caliber talent on defense and along the offensive line,

478
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: and filling in the blanks however possible. It's just tough.

479
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: It's just tricky. The roadblocks are just are just taller

480
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: at Vandy.

481
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 3: That's all.

482
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 2: Does Austin Carter Samuels have any eligibility left? Can you

483
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 2: come out of retirement?

484
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: Who was the what was it Jordan Matthews? Was he

485
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: a higher level draft pick from Vandy? Played for the Eagles?

486
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: I want to say, yeah, yeah, you can crew to

487
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 1: develop talent to Nashville. It's just again, it's a The

488
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: barrier to entry is just tougher. Next, Will Wisconsin ever

489
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: go to the playoff? Jack?

490
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 2: Good question, Jack?

491
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: Will Wisconsin ever go to the playoff? We've been asked

492
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: this before, I think in the last four or five years.

493
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 2: Okay, Ken Wisconsin go to the playoff? Will No? No,

494
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 2: I'm starting with can oh. Okay, based on the way

495
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 2: this program is configured, based on the coaching staff, the

496
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 2: commitment from the administration, the type of talent that we've

497
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 2: seen come through Madison, can Wisconsin go to the playoff?

498
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 2: It's an interesting question. I'd say in the present state. No,

499
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 2: I'd say in the present state. No, they've got the

500
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 2: defense thing figured out. It's perpetually one of the best

501
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 2: defenses in college football. You need that offensively, though, offensively

502
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 2: it needs to be more than just the big dude

503
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 2: running the ball. Brayleen Allen need to get more out

504
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 2: of quarterback than what we've seen the last couple of

505
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: years from Graham Mertz. We need to get back to

506
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 2: Graham Mertz throwing five touchdowns against Illinois, my favorite game

507
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 2: of all time in Wisconsin history. Need to get Can

508
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 2: we just get back to those halcyon days? Are throwing

509
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 2: five touchdowns in Week one? Need to get past all

510
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 2: of that. We need to get back to the Frankly the.

511
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: Russ year right when, well, yeah, that's insane. That's an

512
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: insane statement to make.

513
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 2: It's an insane statement to make, but more closer to

514
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 2: that where you get more production out of the quarterback spot.

515
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 2: So to answer the question, will they know? Not right now,

516
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 2: and maybe Bobby Ingram can get them there. He's their

517
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 2: new offensive coordinator. Maybe he can introduce some creativity that

518
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 2: can move the offense forward, that can show us some

519
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 2: stuff we haven't seen before. But I don't know, not

520
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 2: until I see something more from offense. I'm inclined to say.

521
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: No, it's a reasonable question given Wisconsin's current ceiling being

522
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl, which is an awesome sceneing Wisconsin goes

523
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: to the Rose Bowl. It seems like often so that

524
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where it's not somebody asking

525
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: if a team who has never won their conference, never

526
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: played in a conference championship game, what's their path to

527
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: the playoff? Now, this is a reasonable next step question

528
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: for Wisconsin. The issue to me, and I mean you

529
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: nailed it, is not just finding that quarterback, but developing

530
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: a system in which quarterbacks in the portal because that's

531
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: the reality in which we live now. Look at Wisconsin

532
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: and say, oh, yeah, that makes sense that Bobby Ingram

533
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: is developing NFL caliber quarterbacks. And I know that there's

534
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: gonna be a good offensive line in front of me.

535
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: I know that the skill talent is going to be there.

536
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: Wisconsin not finding and developing that guy at quarterback and

537
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: also not finding those guys at receiver, and Wisconsin's kind

538
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: of the inspiration for the term winter Wonders. So yeah,

539
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: they can go eleven and one and play a hard

540
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: fought battle against Ohio State, But when they're in Indianapolis

541
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: and they need to score third to win that game.

542
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: Do they have that guy occasionally sort of? But do

543
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: they have that guy or guys with relative consistency to

544
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: keep two safeties back to sort of give a defensive

545
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: coordinator fits. And that's that last puzzle piece that there

546
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: are schools that are crazy jealous of the consistency of

547
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: success that Wisconsin has had. But that next step is

548
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: finding and developing those guys on offense, because otherwise line play,

549
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: defense play, you know, consistency of being a scary offense

550
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: and finding scary running backs and offensive lineman great. But

551
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: that next step is how do we scare the best

552
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: teams in multiple ways? So for that reason, I'm gonna

553
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: say no, there's no evidence to me that Wisconsin can

554
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: do that last thing. And so short of Ohio State

555
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: being hit with crazy sanctions or Ryan daygoing elsewhere in

556
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: Ohio State hiring I don't know, Mike Riley or something

557
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: like completely out of character, I'm gonna say no. I

558
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: just it's hard to fathom given what we've seen from

559
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: Paul christ in his time there. And maybe it's a

560
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: Bobby Ingram thing. I don't know, it'd be great but

561
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: I say no, I.

562
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 2: Need to pull that sound from Shark Tank. For that reason,

563
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 2: I'm out.

564
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: I'm out that reason. Dun dum dun dum dun dum.

565
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: Paul Christ has a football program that he'd like to

566
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: take to the next level. He's looking for a quarterback,

567
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: three four star receivers, and an offensive coordinator who can

568
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: just do more Sharks? Is that you just Paul Chris

569
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: ambling down the Shark Tank set giant parka.

570
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 3: Dun du.

571
00:30:53,680 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: Dunt dun dun dun high Sharks. I don't know that

572
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: Paul Christ sounds like e R. But in my head,

573
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: hy sharks crying, oh bother?

574
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 2: Who would they bring?

575
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 3: So far? I've developed fifteen great offensive line, four tight

576
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 3: ends crying oh good, I'm looking for a quarterback and

613
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,440

00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 2: do you have a lane in mind?

615
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: Yes, briefly iconic tight ends who didn't go on to

616
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: have NFL success.

617
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,200

Speaker 2: very slim pickens that is week zero on the college

643
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 2: football menu. But we'll talk about obviously Northwestern Nebraska. I

644
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 2: do have a pick that I'm going to give for

645
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 2: that game for anyone interested. I'm whispering.

646
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: I don't know why Ducane's playing this week? Right?

647
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 2: Dukine? The Dukes are playing this week?

648
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're playing. They are the Dukes.

649
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just made that up.

650
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: I hope so Ducaine football. They are the Dukes. They're

651
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, right, that's correct? Yep, Ducine? Isn't that who

652
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: Iowa State scheduled last second a few years ago. I

653
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: believe it played in a game shot by handicams. Like

654
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: it was very difficult to see. I don't know if

655
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,479
Speaker 1: it was the cameras or like there was a duff

656
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: storm on the thirty seven yard line. I remember that

657
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,919
Speaker 1: gam being very difficult to physically watch as Iowa State

658
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: was looking for some reason where they're trying to get bolth.

659
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: I forget what exactly it was. But they scheduled, they

660
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: had a cancelation, and they scheduled Duquane last second, and

661
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: they're playing Florida State this week. Okay, Ty, what question

662
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: jumps out to you to round out the show?

663
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 2: Damn, we've got two non college football or college football

664
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 2: adjacent questions.

665
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: Okay.

666
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 2: Adam writes in and wants to know how has fatherhood

667
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 2: changed how you experience and feel about college football?

668
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: Dan Rubinstein, fatherhood has not changed it dramatically because it

669
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: is a job for me, so I have to do it.

670
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: I have to watch games, poor me. I really want

671
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: to go tailgating with my boys when they get a

672
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: little bit older. That seems like it'll be really fun

673
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: to toss around a football in a parking lot and

674
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: cook some food. That'll be really fun for me. Fatherhood specifically,

675
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: I would more says it's marriage that college football, marriage

676
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:14,919
Speaker 1: with kids, married with children that's changed the idea of

677
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: my wife working hard five days a week and then

678
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:22,919
Speaker 1: come Saturday midday, me saying, well, my work day now

679
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: exists for the next thirty six hours straight, so have

680
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: fun with the kiddos without me. She's very understanding, Jody

681
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: with an eye. I don't think it's her ideal way

682
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: to spend a fall solo parenting. So that's how it's

683
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: affected my life with children. But how I am as

684
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: a father hasn't really changed. I show you know, I'll

685
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: watch a little bit of football with the older one.

686
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: He just doesn't have the attention span at three and

687
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: a half years old to sit and watch a football

688
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: game or even a half with me. So it hasn't

689
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: changed dramatically yet. I imagine it will. I can't wait

690
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,959
Speaker 1: to go to games as soon as we can figure

691
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: out the schedule to do so with the with the boys.

692
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: All right, how about that?

693
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 2: I like it. Dan, You get to pick the final

694
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 2: question here.

695
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: J are the top five items to grill? And why

696
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: are they all various cuts of steak? I don't make

697
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: a lot of steak. When I make steak, I make

698
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: carne asada, like a thin like butcher's cut, or a

699
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: skirt steak or something like that marinated up. There's a

700
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 1: lot of really good carne asada marinades. You can use

701
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: sunny D by the way, sunny D or orange juice

702
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 1: or something does really well marinading carne asada with you know,

703
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: cilantro and tomato and onion and pollo penno and all

704
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: sorts of different stuff. Ty, do you have a current

705
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 1: favorite thing, meat whatever to grill? And do you have

706
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: a grilling goal in the way that we have boat goals.

707
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: Do you have grill goals?

708
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 2: M hm, Well, I'm not going to say that I've

709
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 2: got a list here maybe on my quarterback wristband, of

710
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 2: my top five items to grill. But if you have

711
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 2: some things that I really do enjoy grilling, Okay, I

712
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 2: enjoy a really good cut of let mignon on the grill,

713
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 2: if only, if only because I've gotten very good at

714
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 2: grilling it to the precise request, are you are you?

715
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 1: Are you probing or do you have like the thumb test,

716
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: like are not good to the touch?

717
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 2: I'm good to the touch.

718
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 1: I've gotten very good with it.

719
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't get the probe thing. I still don't

720
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 2: know how to work it. I don't trust the results.

721
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 2: So I'm much more of an analog thumb tester. I

722
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 2: like cooking chicken thighs, and chicken thighs on the grill

723
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 2: are profound.

724
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: Do you have a go to process for that? Are

725
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: you marinating or what you? Are you basting?

726
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 3: What?

727
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 2: I do? Enjoy a good marinade. Yeah, no, I prefer

728
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 2: the marinade. And you know I've I've experimented with cooking

729
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 2: them in some sort of an aluminum pan or just

730
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 2: straight up on the grates. Pends what kind of mood

731
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 2: you get me and frankly, but I like good chicken

732
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 2: thighs on the grill. I like vegetables on the grill.

733
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 2: I think they're very underrated on the grill. Like corn

734
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 2: on the cob on the grill, I think you can

735
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,919
Speaker 2: make a really mean ear of corn on the grid.

736
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 1: Have you made the charred corn salad? It's not mine,

737
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: but it's a recipe I found that I have not.

738
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 2: We've talked about this.

739
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: It's so good. Hit me up if you need a

740
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 1: good charred corn salad while it's still in season. Grow

741
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,439
Speaker 1: them up on the on the grill and then cut

742
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: them off and it's dressing and avocado and black beans.

743
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:27,720
Speaker 1: It's great. Here's something that I've done once and loved,

744
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna do the next time I grill at

745
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: least burgers. I get the baking steel that i'll use

746
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: for indoor pizza making. I have a few of them now,

747
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: and I put that on the grill, so it's sort

748
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: of a blacktop. Not you not grilling burgers on the grates.

749
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: I get that super hot, then the burgers cook and

750
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: sizzle in their own fat. And I want to do

751
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: that with the like an Oklahoma onion burger. I get

752
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: the burger super thin, I press it down, I smash it,

753
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: and then I get those onions under there, get those

754
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: crispy onions, cook it, you know, on that flat top.

755
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: That to me is is the height of burger luxury.

756
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: Cooking burger on a flat top, that's that's a big

757
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 1: deal to me. Otherwise I don't know. I think dogs

758
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: on a grill are kind of perfect. One of the

759
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: things that I never understood is at hot dog places,

760
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: burger places, especially here in the Chicago area, they'll say

761
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: they'll say hot dog or char dog, and the standard

762
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 1: hot dog is either boiled or steamed, and then the

763
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 1: chart dog is made on a flat top grill. Why

764
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: would anybody choose anything other than the char dog tie.

765
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: I don't get that at all. But that's that's another

766
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 1: for another day, my complaints about Chicago food decision making. Otherwise,

767
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: I haven't done a ton of seafood on the grill

768
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: because Jody with an eye is allergic. But I do

769
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 1: like making fish and shrimp on there. I have done

770
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: that in the I've done shrimp.

771
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 2: Shrimp's probably up.

772
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: Flipping on a skewer or something like that. Otherwise, I

773
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: know people make pizza on the grill. I don't do that.

774
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: I would recommend an oven, even a standard oven, is

775
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: going to be better for pizza than grilling it, just

776
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,439
Speaker 1: because of the uneven heat and thermal mass of a grill.

777
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: Here's the have you ever made dessert on a grill tie?

778
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 2: I've grilled a banana, okay, and it was decidedly unmemorable

779
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 2: for me. Okay, I got nothing out of it.

780
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 1: I will cut a bunch of peaches in half deep,

781
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: pit them, and I will soak it for a minute

782
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: in honeywater so it gets really caramelized. You can get

783
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 1: the sugars on the you know, on the face of

784
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: the peaches, and I grill those actually I think I

785
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: quarter them and I grill them. I get the grill

786
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 1: marks on either side of the quartering of the of

787
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: the peach or whatever, and then I will crumble up

788
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: some sugar cookies and I'll crumble at a top like

789
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: a layer of peaches. Maybe some whip cream on top

790
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 1: of that. Grilled peaches, little soak of honeywater and crumbled cookies,

791
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: just an easy topping. Really good, really really really good.

792
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: As peaches are still in season, Hilly Red, I like

793
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 1: the white peaches a little bit better because it's a

794
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: little firmer, so they stay up to the grilling a

795
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: little bit better. Yeah, oh yeah, you can do worse.

796
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: You can do worse, all right.

797
