1
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: And welcome to Lakeaus Live.

2
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: It is Sunday night, May sixteenth, The Overlord twenty twenty one.

3
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 2: We're jam packed, and I would argue one of it's

4
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: not the more interactive shows that we've done. Laptop over there,

5
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: Now let's move straight.

6
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: It's an interactive show.

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 2: We've been interacting throughout the day, So there's a lot

8
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 2: of stuff tonight that basically I'm gonna need your input on.

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: In fact, three out of the four segments are going

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: to require your input right now during the live show.

11
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 2: If you're watching the replay in the comment section, whatever

12
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 2: the case may be. At Late Kick, Josh, Twitter and

13
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: Instagram been talking to you all day multitude of different

14
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: segments We're going to do tonight incorporated stuff that I've

15
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: gotten from you throughout the day. It'll make more sense

16
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: to you. In just a second. We are guessing point

17
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,959
Speaker 2: spreads tonight. We are projecting ahead. I told you at

18
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: pet State we don't take federal grant money. And the

19
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: rate we don't have to take federal grant money is

20
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: because we opened our own university sports book. It's right

21
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: next to the cafeteria. It's kind of in the back

22
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 2: cash only operation. Right now, but we like to project ahead.

23
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: We do our own numbers here and this is real

24
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 2: talk now, we do our own numbers, and so it

25
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: helps sometimes when we do segments like this, don't have

26
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: to wait on Vegas.

27
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: To put out a number.

28
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 2: Now, what we do get to do is, we're gonna

29
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: take all these big Week one games tonight and we're

30
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: gonna project what we actually believe those points spreads are

31
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: gonna be. I guarantee you will be very close, if

32
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: not dead on to the actual numbers that get put

33
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: out when they do get put out. But I want

34
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: you to guess along too. And I've gotten some wildly

35
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: varying degrees of feedback from you today. You know what

36
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 2: we're about to get to it, so I'll just save

37
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: that for about two three minutes from now. Most underrated

38
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: teams in each conference had a hard time thought it

39
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: was gonna be the easiest segment we were going to

40
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: do all summer. Had a really hard time with this

41
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: we're about to talk about it. I still don't know

42
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: if I'm really nailed down all the way on some

43
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: of these teams, so I could be very easily swayed.

44
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: I'm on the fence on a number of these, LSU

45
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: has got a few things they need to do in

46
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: order to regain some national relevance this year. I don't

47
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: know if you guys remember it was only, oh, I

48
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: don't know, twenty nineteen when they won a title, but

49
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: everything went into the wood chipper in twenty twenty. So

50
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: how do we pull it out or how do we

51
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: forget about twenty twenty and how do we get things

52
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: back on track this year? Talking to the folks over

53
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 2: at GO twenty four to seven today, there are a

54
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 2: number of different good suggestions, but I got a couple

55
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: of main ones I want to touch on tonight. Also,

56
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: it is our late kick schedule draft Sunday night for

57
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 2: the first half of the season, And what that basically

58
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: means is this, Now, in real life, we do get

59
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: to go cover games every week during the fall. Probably

60
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 2: the one of the hardest things. I live a very

61
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 2: easy life, so one of the hardest things I have

62
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 2: to do is I have to decide which game are

63
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: we going to each week. Well, there's no reason for

64
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: me not to outsource that, since it's your show. Anyway,

65
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you say so, So what we're gonna

66
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: do tonight is I'm gonna show you the first six

67
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: weeks and take you through the methodology of how we

68
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: pick which games we go to. It's not always just

69
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: the biggest one, which one's going to be the primetime game.

70
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 2: There are a lot of other factors, and I'm gonna

71
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 2: explain how we think about that as we go along,

72
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna give you.

73
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: A chance to change my mind on that.

74
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 2: I just wanted to give you a quick shout out

75
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: congratulations pat on the big fat thank you this past week,

76
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 2: and then I'm about to dive into the show. I

77
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: promise this past week we had over four hundred thousand

78
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: folks watch our stuff, not even listen. I'm not even

79
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: talking about the podcast version four hundred thousand plus in

80
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: the middle of May.

81
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: So again, when I tell you we don't.

82
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: Do off seasons around here, you have definitely taken that

83
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 2: very seriously. It's not literally, it's not figurative, rather such,

84
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: that's kind of a metaphor, like, we really mean that,

85
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: and so we'll keep pumping it out as long as

86
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 2: you keep watching it. At that clip. By the way,

87
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the average viewership, the average amongst you

88
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: for a live viewer eighteen minutes, three seconds.

89
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: That's getting it done.

90
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: Let's dive in tonight Week one, a little over one

91
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 2: hundred days away. Week one loaded. We talked about this

92
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: on the last Late Kick Live. We detailed all the

93
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 2: big games, and we're about to do it again. If

94
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: you missed that show, don't worry. We're about to go

95
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: through all that. But it's time for us to project

96
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: some point spreads. What do we think these things are

97
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: going to open? That will we think they're going to

98
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: close at. I don't know where they're going to close,

99
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: but I can give you a pretty good indication of

100
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: where we think they're going to open. And the thing

101
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: about it is, once we get into the season and

102
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: we talk about betting, we try and do it in

103
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: a way that it appeals to the hardcore gambler, but

104
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: it also appeals to many of you who don't bet

105
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: a scent on this stuff. You're just kind of you

106
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: have a loose fascination and interest in points spreads, odds making, etc.

107
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 2: So we try and talk about it in a way

108
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 2: that quinches every thirst for all viewers. And so what

109
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: we're going to do tonight, before these lines have really

110
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 2: come out, is I'm going to tell you what we

111
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 2: think they're going to open at.

112
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you some reasoning behind it.

113
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: But I also asked you earlier today on Twitter at

114
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: Late Kick Josh and on Instagram at Late Kick Josh,

115
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: I asked you, guys, what do you think those numbers

116
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: are going to Because this is one of the most

117
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: fascinating preseason aspects of sport is finding out how many

118
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 2: people have different opinions on where a line's going to open,

119
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: and some people have a very good grasp on it.

120
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: I mean, some people think LSU is going to be

121
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 2: a two touchdown favorite at UCLA. So there are varying

122
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 2: degrees of camps here forming but Week one is going

123
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: to be wonderful. I told you it starts on Thursday

124
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: with Ohio State Minnesota. It goes all the way through

125
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 2: Monday night. It's that Louisville Old Miss game, and so

126
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 2: I could not believe the range of guesses we had here.

127
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 2: Let's get this started. So Jesse's gonna have us a

128
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 2: nice clean lower third for every one of them. The

129
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 2: first game that kicks off on that Thursday night is

130
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: Ohio State at Minnesota. We don't have times, we don't

131
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 2: have networks for a lot of these games yet, So

132
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you when they are and where they are.

133
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: What do you make this line?

134
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: Because I'm making it Ohio State minus thirteen and a half.

135
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: I had a lot of guesses that were north of

136
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: two touchdowns today. I could see it closing there. There's

137
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: going to be a ton of hype behind this.

138
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: CJ.

139
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: Stroud probably gets to start at quarterback for Ohio State.

140
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: It's a road game. I assume full capacity. We're going

141
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: to assume full capacity for all of these. So you're

142
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 2: going to have with Ohio State, and with a lot

143
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 2: of these teams, you're going to have some sophomores that

144
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 2: have really not played in the full house ever, and

145
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: so I don't know what impact does going to have

146
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 2: week one.

147
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,239
Speaker 1: Just keep that in mind.

148
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: I'm going to make the buck Eyes just under a

149
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 2: two touchdown favorite. If you want to bet it up

150
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 2: to two touchdowns, that's fine. You give me a Ohio

151
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: State minus thirteen and a half. And keep in mind,

152
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: we're taking notes. We're going to book stamp all this time,

153
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: stamp all of it at least, and we're gonna be

154
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 2: able to measure how accurate we were against the actual

155
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: opening number. Now the very next night, twenty four hours later,

156
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 2: it's North Carolina at Virginia Tech. Again, I want to reiterate,

157
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 2: this is a North Carolina team full of kids that

158
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: did not play in a full stadium a majority of

159
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 2: last year, and now they go up to Blacksburg and

160
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you got a full lane stadium

161
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 2: and it's a Friday night. It's not quite a standalone game,

162
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 2: but it kind of is a standalone game. If you're

163
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 2: watching on YouTube all the highlights Jesse's showing, you are

164
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 2: in front of like fifteen thousand fans. So fifteen I

165
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 2: can't give you very many promises in life, but I

166
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 2: can promise you they'll be more than fifteen k in

167
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 2: Lane stadium up in Blacksburg. This is a Friday night game.

168
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: What do you think North Carolina is going to be

169
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,119
Speaker 2: a preseason ACC Championship contender. You got a Heisman contender

170
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: at quarterback. Virginia Tech was woeful last year, but into

171
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 2: the season strong. Against Virginia in a game that lost

172
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: us some money, an otherwise very good year that lost

173
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: us some money. I'm going under a touchdown and I'm

174
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: gonna have North Carolina opening as a six point favorite.

175
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: A lot of you had North Carolina minus seven. We

176
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: were kind of on the same page there. Listen, this

177
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 2: is not an easy road environment to go play in,

178
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: and this is gonna be one of those games where

179
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: you're trusting but wanting validation. In other words, you trust

180
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: Sam Howell, you trust that the defense has gotten better,

181
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: You trust that the run game will be there, but

182
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: you want to see it validated with your own two eyes.

183
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: North Carolina minus six. Then we get into the Saturday games.

184
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: This is fun. Oh, this is fun. Indiana at Iowa.

185
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: I don't know what time these games are gonna kick off.

186
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: This was one that I think had the widest variance

187
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: of opinion out there. Some of you had Indiana outright

188
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 2: favored by ten points, some of you had Iowa as

189
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: a four or five point favorite. I'm telling you, I

190
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: think Iowa was going to be favored in this game.

191
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: And that's no knock on Indiana. I just I think

192
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: that there may have been a lot of short selling

193
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: on the caliber of team Iowa is going to have

194
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: this year, and I believe oddsmakers will of course reflect

195
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: that opinion and the home field aspect home Field's probably

196
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: going to be very underrad in the early weeks of

197
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 2: the season this year. It's going to be talked about,

198
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 2: but I don't know if it's going to be properly

199
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: baked in because I think that home field the first

200
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: few weeks of this particular college football season, you could

201
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 2: stand to add three quarters of a point to a

202
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: point on top of whatever normal line value would be

203
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: for home field.

204
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: You give me Iowa minus three.

205
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: It wouldn't shock me to see them open north of

206
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: three three and a half for four. But I'm taking

207
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: Hawkeyes minus three, And as soon as they opened that

208
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: thing north of three, I think it would come down

209
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: to three because I think there would be a lot

210
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: of very eager Indiana money. Now, obviously, what we're watching

211
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 2: here is Michael Pennock's quarterback situation. I'm going to touch

212
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: on that in just a second, but I want to

213
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: get the numbers out there first. Iowa minus three, that's

214
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: what I expect that to open up. Penn State is

215
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: at Wisconsin. That's the other really big time Big Ten game.

216
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 2: A lot of these games, like when I say them,

217
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 2: you just out loud, what do you think?

218
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: First thing? You think Penn State really bad last year.

219
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: Wisconsin started promising, then it fell off a cliff for them.

220
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: So what would you make this game. I'm making it

221
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: Wisconsin minus six and a half. Now. I'm very high

222
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 2: on Wisconsin this year, but I'm not so much talking

223
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 2: about what my personal opinion is. I'm talking about what

224
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 2: this line's going to open at. Now, if they open

225
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: that thing Wisconsin minus six and a half, and I'm

226
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 2: high on them, hey, maybe I get that thing before

227
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: it goes up to seven. I don't think they're going

228
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 2: to open them at seven. I think it'll be a

229
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 2: little short of that. I think it'll have a lot

230
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 2: in common with that North Carolina opener. For example, there's

231
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 2: going to be a lot of stench around Penn State

232
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 2: for maybe the public better out there, And I don't

233
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: necessarily know that that's the proper acumen to apply to

234
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: betting twenty twenty one. Penn State is one of those

235
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eraser teams that we've talked about. In other words,

236
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 2: if they are subpar this year, I don't think it'll

237
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: be because of twenty twenty. I think it'll be its

238
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: own little set of issues in twenty twenty one. Give

239
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: me Wisconsin minus six and a half as the opener,

240
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 2: not the bet as the opener. Louisiana's at Texas, Now,

241
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 2: this one had a very very wide range too. Some

242
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 2: of you were talking Louisiana money line, which is kind

243
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 2: of irrelevant because I'm asking you what the line is

244
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: going to be. Some of you also said we can't

245
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: make Texas anything less than a double digit favorite in

246
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 2: Austin at home Sarks debut. Notice, there's nothing tangible to

247
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 2: any of these things. It's kind of like when people

248
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 2: pick Notre Dame to beat Bama back in the day

249
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 2: luck of the Irish. Well, it's just tradition against tradition.

250
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 2: Nothing really really matters, Like nothing that came out of

251
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 2: your mouth really matters there. What matters, Well, what matters

252
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 2: here is that team that Louisiana raising Casun's team. Think

253
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 2: you're gonna hear this thrown around a lot is the

254
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: most experienced team in America. This coming season doesn't always

255
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 2: mean a lot. But what I think it means, and

256
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 2: you remember what they did week one last year at

257
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: Iowa State, what I think it means is we can

258
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: probably pretty safely depend on what we're going to get

259
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 2: from them. Don't know that we can depend on that

260
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 2: from Texas. So with all that in mind, what am

261
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: I making this game. I'm making it Texas minus seven

262
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: and a half. I understand how much Longhorn money there

263
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 2: is out there, and I understand how much it's going

264
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 2: to pour in if I make this thing a touchdown

265
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 2: or less. So I'm going to make you pay that

266
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 2: half a point premium to bet that sark opener and

267
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 2: to bet all that pomp and circumstance that surrounds playing

268
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 2: a home game for Texas against a perceived inferior opponent

269
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 2: from the G five. How many of you out there

270
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: would be shocked if Louisiana won this game. I don't

271
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 2: think you'd be shocked at the two touchdown Texas win either.

272
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 2: But this is not a G five P five game.

273
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 2: In other words, like I would much rather if I

274
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: were Texas, there are several teams from my conference, my

275
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 2: Power five conference, mind you, that I'd rather be playing

276
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 2: Week one than Louisiana. So I'm making Texas a seven

277
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 2: and a half point favorite against Louisiana to open it

278
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: up there. The neutral site game in Atlanta is Miami

279
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,359
Speaker 2: against Alabama.

280
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: Alabama is coming off a national championship.

281
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: We don't really believe in defending national champions around here,

282
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 2: but Miami versus Alabama neutral site. Bama plays in Atlanta

283
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: all the time, so it feels like a second home

284
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: to him.

285
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: What do you think here?

286
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: I had a lot of Bama minus twenty one in

287
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: the inbox. I had a lot of Bama north of

288
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 2: twenty one. I don't think it's going to be that inflated.

289
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 2: It may get bet up to twenty one, but I

290
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: think this is going to open somewhere between that seventeen

291
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 2: and twenty one point range. Now a popular number to

292
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 2: open Bama at when that the perception is Bama minus eighteen,

293
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 2: and you let it float in that no man's land

294
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 2: eighteen nineteen. Maybe it settles on seventeen, maybe it settles

295
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: on twenty, but I think they're going to open that

296
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 2: thing around eighteen. I'm gonna talk more about this game

297
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: in a second, because there's something I think that majorly

298
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 2: factors in here. But my immediate projection on that is

299
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 2: gonna be Alabama minus eighteen. Georgia Clemson is the biggest

300
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 2: game of the day. This is in no particular order. Obviously,

301
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 2: Georgia fans I'm from Georgia. A lot of you thought

302
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 2: and still think that you're gonna open up as a

303
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 2: favorite in this game. George is not gonna be favorite

304
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 2: over Clemson. It's not gonna be a big spread. But

305
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: George is not gonna be the favorite in this game,

306
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 2: at least not in the opener. I don't know where

307
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 2: it's gonna close. That's up to you. I'm making Clemson

308
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 2: a four point favorite in this I'm not even going

309
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 2: with the field goal option. I'm going to go up

310
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 2: to four. I think that's where I'm going to open

311
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 2: it at Payton State Sportsbook. You guys can do what

312
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 2: you want to. There is a lot of unknown about

313
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 2: that Georgia Bulldog team. I mean again, I'm gonna talk

314
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: about it in just a second, so I don't want

315
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 2: to go down the rabbit hole here, but just think

316
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 2: of this being a possibility, and this very well may

317
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 2: be reality.

318
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: JT.

319
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 2: Daniels and trying to fill that George Pickens void and

320
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 2: trying to fill out that wide receiver corps. Listen, they

321
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 2: could go to Charlotte where this game is gonna be played,

322
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 2: and they could need thirty five to win.

323
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: Can you get thirty five.

324
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 2: Can you depend on that because you've got a very

325
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 2: green secondary, Clemson's gonna test it for four quarters. I

326
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: mean it's it's gonna be hot. I mean, you're gonna

327
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 2: You're gonna go in there. I told you I didn't

328
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 2: want to go down rabbit hole. You're gonna go in

329
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 2: there with a very untested group of secondary players. And

330
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 2: you know as well as I do what these Week

331
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 2: one games look like. You build them up and then

332
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 2: midway through the second quarter you got every other play

333
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 2: having to be stopped because there's a guy down.

334
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: He ain't hurt, just got cramps, cramps, cramps.

335
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 2: Who in the world knows which of these teams is

336
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 2: gonna finish with a full roster. Who in the world

337
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 2: knows what a fourth quarter is gonna look like.

338
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 1: So I say all that basically to say there's.

339
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: A lot of unknown, which makes these games very big

340
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: on the marquee, but it often ends with a result

341
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 2: that makes you walk away and say, I wish we

342
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 2: could have played this in Week four, Week five. Well,

343
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 2: that's the beauty of college football. You don't get to

344
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 2: do that. LSU is traveling across the country. They don't

345
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 2: do this very often LSU is opening the season at UCLA.

346
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 2: Now I mentioned to you last week UCLA has a

347
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: Week zero game. They're playing Hawaii. They'll be a solid

348
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 2: three plus touchdown favorite in that game. In this one,

349
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 2: aside from this Indiana Iowa game, this was the big swing.

350
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 2: This was the one, and I tweeted about this last night.

351
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 2: I said, I think people are going to be shocked

352
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 2: when they see what this number opens at. So I

353
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 2: want you before Jesse shows you, I want you to think,

354
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 2: in your mind, or if you're listening, what do you

355
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 2: think LSU going to Ucla. You know what your opinion

356
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: is on both of these teams. What would you open

357
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 2: this number at. A lot of you are LSU minus

358
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 2: seven or bigger, and I am here to tell you

359
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 2: this is not open in LSU minus seven or nine

360
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: or eleven. I'm opening this thing at LSU minus two

361
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 2: and a half. LSU minus three would and shot me.

362
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 2: There are some people out there in the odds making

363
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 2: world that would tell you, if they were to just

364
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 2: stick to their raw power ratings, this thing should be

365
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 2: a pick them. And that's before you see UCLA in

366
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 2: that first game. Ucla is viewed pretty universally in the

367
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 2: odds making world as one of the underrated teams and

368
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: one of the more undervalued assets in the college football

369
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 2: betting market this upcoming year. Conversely, there's a lot of

370
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: just blind assumption that LSU is going to bounce right back,

371
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: and in the odds making world, that's not necessarily the

372
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: way that's going to work. So basically what it boils

373
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: down to is, I think this is probably going to

374
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: be one of the biggest games, biggest hinge games that

375
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 2: there's exposure on for odds makers because we at Payt State, No,

376
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 2: as soon as we put out LSU minus two and

377
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 2: a half, we're going to take a flood of purple money.

378
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: It's going to be like eighty twenty, which lets you

379
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 2: know when someone tells you the only goal of an

380
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 2: odds maker or a sports book is to get fifty

381
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: to fifty action, it's not here. We're happy to be

382
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 2: heavy on one side as long as it's the side

383
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 2: we want you on, So we're okay, you can load

384
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: up on LSU.

385
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: That's okay.

386
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 2: We're happy to be exposed here because we think we

387
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 2: have you on the right side. LSU minus two and

388
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 2: a half, I'm gonna have some disagreement on that. I

389
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: know Notre Dame at Florida State is a Sunday. I

390
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 2: think it's a standalone game. If it's not, you probably

391
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 2: won't care about the other game. So Notre Dame goes

392
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 2: on the road to tallahassee this one. I think sometimes

393
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: with these big brands, So Florida State's a big brand,

394
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 2: Notre Dame is too. A lot of times, when you

395
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: look at that seminole logo and you think about tradition

396
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 2: and you think about dough camel stadium, I don't know

397
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 2: what happens, but maybe you experienced this, maybe you don't.

398
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: Recentcy bias goes out the window. In other words, you

399
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 2: forget the most recent things you've seen from Florida State

400
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: and you just remember tradition and you remember your mind.

401
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 2: Your memory works in best case format when it comes

402
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 2: to betting a lot of times, so when you think

403
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 2: about the Florida State seminoles, you think about vintage Florida

404
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 2: State and what they're capable of if ever, everything goes right.

405
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 2: That's obviously a format to light your money on fire.

406
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 2: But that's the way a lot of people's mind's work.

407
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 2: And so when I tell you I'm opening this at

408
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 2: Notre Dame minus ten.

409
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna look at it and say you're.

410
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 2: Giving me double digits at home done, Campbell Stadium, Florida State. YadA, YadA, YadA.

411
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 2: I think a lot of you would jump on Nole's

412
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 2: plus ten, And to be honest with you, I don't

413
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: think it's a bad bad obviously. I'm putting the line

414
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 2: out there because I think it's a fair number. I

415
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: think Notre Dame's gonna open add or around ten point

416
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 2: favorite here.

417
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: Now here was the big.

418
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 2: Question I had and I will have for this one.

419
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 2: It's if we're playing this game, which we are, who's

420
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 2: gonna have quarterback edge. That's something to pay attention to.

421
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 2: We'll just bookmark that. I'll come back to that in

422
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 2: a second. And then Louisville versus Ole Miss is the

423
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 2: Monday night game. This one's in Atlanta. Why play it?

424
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 2: You know what, I'm gonna leave it alone. The neutral

425
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 2: site games have their purpose in the world. I don't

426
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 2: know that this needs to be one of them, but

427
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 2: it is a neutral site game, nonetheless, So Louisville against

428
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 2: Old Miss, this one was pretty easy. This was Rebel's

429
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 2: minus seven. And then you guys can take it wherever

430
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 2: you want to go. Most of you we just blindly

431
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 2: bet the over here over at a million or less,

432
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 2: bet the over. But this one is one I didn't

433
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: really see any way to move it off seven. I

434
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 2: think that one's opening at seven, it's closing at seven.

435
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 2: So in totality, I gave you the numbers, and you

436
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 2: can scrub through this video as much as you need to,

437
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 2: and you can listen.

438
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: To it as much as you need to. But I'm

439
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: very interested to know where.

440
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: You guys are landing on these because just a few

441
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 2: takeaways before we move on here, U see LA game

442
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 2: is dangerous. Now, I'm telling you that's the one. As

443
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 2: Jesse puts up. If you're watching on YouTube, Jesse's putting

444
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 2: up the summary here. Those are our spread projections for

445
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 2: these games. And I'm just going to bounce around for

446
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 2: a second that LSU minus two and a half number.

447
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: I know how enticing that looks. That's why we're putting

448
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 2: it out there. That is one to pay attention to.

449
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 2: So I'm telling you, just mark my words, the number

450
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 2: is going to open at real sports books a lot

451
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 2: smaller than what a lot of you think. It's going

452
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 2: to and you're going to be drawing in. I just

453
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 2: want you to be careful, that's all I'm asking. We

454
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 2: call it the Rama Noodle Express because I don't want

455
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 2: you having to rely on eating it for the.

456
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: Next two weeks.

457
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 2: I don't want your kids saying, and daddy, daddy, where

458
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 2: did my tuition go. That's nothing anyone wants to have

459
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 2: said around their household in week one, especially in week one.

460
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 2: If you're gonna waste the kid's tuition money, at least

461
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 2: do it in the second half of the season. Remember

462
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 2: that that's fortune cookie stuff from us tonight. Michael Pennix,

463
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 2: I was gonna get back to this with Indiana Iowa

464
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 2: minus three. Baked into that number is a lot of

465
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 2: uncertainty about where Michael Pennix is.

466
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: That's quarterback for Indiana.

467
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 2: He is rehabbing off a second ACL injury, and they

468
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 2: think I was just reading a little bit about this today.

469
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,239
Speaker 2: They believe he'll be back, okay, being back and being

470
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 2: one hundred percent. As we know from those knee injuries

471
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 2: to totally different things. We're talking about this with Michael Pennix,

472
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 2: We're obviously talking about this with Mackenzie Milton down at

473
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 2: Florida State, and so I think a lot of that

474
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 2: is baked in there. You've got the home field for Iowa.

475
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 2: You've got a really good team for Iowa. You've got

476
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: quarterback uncertainty, that knee stability uncertainty for Indiana, and all

477
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 2: the while the realization that that physicality that Iowa brings

478
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 2: it can be a shock to the census sometimes early

479
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 2: in the season, especially with the a lot of teams

480
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 2: practice these days.

481
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 1: Keep that in mind.

482
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 2: Let's go to Mackenzie Milton in Florida State, because I

483
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 2: wanted to circle back to this one. That's the whole

484
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 2: question there, because if you were to tell me that

485
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 2: Mackenzie Milton's gonna have a really strong two or three

486
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 2: weeks of fall camp leading up and they're gonna have

487
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 2: no questions whatsoever about him. And let's say, for argument sake,

488
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 2: Mackenzie Milton is the starting quarterback for Florida State. All

489
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 2: of a sudden, what if it's game week and Notre

490
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 2: Dame's minus ten, minus nine and a half. But you

491
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 2: really get the feel that Florida State's going into this

492
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 2: game with an edge at quarterback and home field will

493
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 2: absolutely grab all the points.

494
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: You can because at that point.

495
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 2: I mean, what are you feeling, Well, you're feeling Georgia

496
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 2: Tech came in here and beat us at home to

497
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 2: start the year last year, Let's just turn that thing

498
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 2: on its ear and let's get a big upset win

499
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 2: of our own at home to start twenty twenty one.

500
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 2: That's something to think about that Alabama number. If BAMA

501
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 2: opens minus anything under three touchdowns, A lot of what

502
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 2: that's gonna rely on their ability to stretch the game

503
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 2: at the end and get a big margin and thus

504
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 2: cover the spread. It's gonna rely on how far that

505
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 2: offensive line has come by the time they played Miami.

506
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 2: I don't think it'll be a finished product by the

507
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 2: time they played Miami. In other words, week one. And

508
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 2: also we're going to know, well, we're gonna get our

509
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 2: first taste of Bryce Young in meaningful action, and we

510
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 2: haven't had that yet. We've seen him, but we haven't

511
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 2: had that yet. And thirdly, a lot of that wide

512
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 2: receiver corps. You know, we know about John Metchi and

513
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 2: we saw a Gi Hall in the spring game. I

514
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 2: was talking to his dad the other night, and it

515
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 2: turns out that I thought I had the pronunciation right,

516
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 2: but I didn't, and he even confirmed as such, and

517
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 2: I just had the pronunciation wrong.

518
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:40,959
Speaker 1: So we did a really good segment on him after

519
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: the spring game.

520
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 2: But we have to go and scrub it now or

521
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 2: I have to like manually replace my mispronunciation with the

522
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 2: right pronunciation, which I didn't used to make a big

523
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 2: deal of, but it's you got to respect people enough

524
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 2: to get their name right, no matter how hard the

525
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 2: pronunciation is.

526
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: So a Gi Hall, Hey, I think he's going to

527
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: be a star this year.

528
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 2: But they got other guys who haven't come on campus yet,

529
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 2: jojo Earl Christian, how many of those guys are gonna

530
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 2: proliferate that starting rotation really early in the year. Got

531
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 2: Jamison Williams from Ohio State too. So anyway, I mentioned

532
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 2: all that because you think about Alabama, that recency bias

533
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 2: comes in and you think fireworks, fireworks, fireworks. Maybe it's

534
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 2: seamless carryover, even though you got new quarterback, new wide receivers,

535
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 2: new offensive line, new coordinators, so a whole new offense.

536
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 2: Maybe there is carryover, or maybe Alabama wins thirty four

537
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 2: to seventh team and it's just a little bit closer

538
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 2: than you thought it would be.

539
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: A couple of.

540
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 2: Different ways that could play out. How about Georgia's defensive backs.

541
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 2: I talked about this already, so I won't spend a

542
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 2: lot of time on it, but man, that game could

543
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 2: really set up. You got a potent Clemson offense and

544
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 2: they got questions.

545
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 1: All their own that I'll touch on in about ten seconds.

546
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 2: But at Georgia defensive backfield, do they overachieve early or

547
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 2: are they down fourteen to nothing early? And are they

548
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 2: offensively having to play catch up which is not a

549
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 2: role that they're familiar with and not one that in

550
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 2: the past they have been well suited to play the

551
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,959
Speaker 2: role of the catchup role. And then with Clemson Davos Swiney,

552
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: there's one thing he keeps talking about, and that's physicality.

553
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 2: That's one of the things that were most disappointed them

554
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 2: last year was they got handled physically in their biggest

555
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 2: games at the end of the year. And you know,

556
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 2: it may not be a big deal. Let's say, if

557
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 2: they played Duke, no disrespect, just picking one out of

558
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 2: the pile, they may run a score up on Dukee.

559
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 2: They ran a score up on Georgia Tech last year.

560
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 2: It didn't matter, didn't matter a lot of their issues

561
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 2: were just masked when they did that. Because they go

562
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 2: into that semi final against Ohio State favored and get

563
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 2: run out of the building. Why well, they were the

564
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 2: second most physical team on the field that night.

565
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: That's why.

566
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 2: So this game, my point is we don't really have

567
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 2: to wait because Georgia, if they can't do anything else,

568
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 2: they certainly will test you physically. And I think you're

569
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,959
Speaker 2: going to hear a lot about that Louisiana experience metric.

570
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 2: And it's not just blindly how many guys return that's

571
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 2: not experience. Okay, returning starters, that's not experience. I think

572
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 2: Bill Conley does a really good job of it. Bill

573
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 2: Connley's approach is, let me take the most important metric

574
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,239
Speaker 2: at your position, and then I'm going to aggregate all

575
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 2: that and I'm gonna find out how much of that

576
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 2: stuff you return at each individual position. Wide receiver, different

577
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 2: than running back, different than defensive back, et cetera. Louisiana

578
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 2: is number one out of all one thirty on that chart.

579
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 2: So I'm just saying, if you're taking the points in Louisiana,

580
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 2: you feel really good. There's not a lot of unknown

581
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 2: with that team. They are probably just they are what

582
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 2: they are this year. So I am very willing to

583
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 2: be open and listen to your feedback on this. I

584
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:33,719
Speaker 2: see a lot of it in the live chat here.

585
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 2: I assume we'll get a lot of it in the

586
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 2: comment section. Those are our week's one. Well, it's just

587
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 2: week one, really opening spread projections, and we will not

588
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 2: have to wait long cause those numbers are going to

589
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 2: come out soon, and so we're gonna be able to

590
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 2: take our number, and you'll be able.

591
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: To take your number and see how good you did.

592
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 2: All right, let's move on here, because we got an

593
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 2: entire trip around the country to take here, and we're

594
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 2: gonna do it really fast. It's like we got to

595
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 2: see aboard the concord. We're gonna do this in like

596
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 2: ten minutes. Which teams are the most underrated in each conference?

597
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 2: I trust that if you're watching this show in May,

598
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 2: you're a diehard college football fan, and so with that,

599
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 2: I trust you don't have to wait for preview magazine

600
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 2: season to have a loose concept of what you think

601
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 2: about teams. Therefore, you don't really need to wait to

602
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 2: follow right along with me here and have your own

603
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 2: opinions on these The key in determining the most underrated

604
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 2: team in a conference, though, and remember this is not

605
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 2: who do I think is going to finish where That's

606
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 2: not the game. The game is know the public perception.

607
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 2: So you know what people think about Team X. If

608
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 2: you think infinitely higher of Team X, that makes them

609
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: the most underrated team. I'm going to have some teams

610
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 2: here that are already ranked in the top twelve or thirteen.

611
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 2: I'm going to have some that may not finish about

612
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 2: five hundred. I think they're all very underrated. I want

613
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 2: to start in the SEC. The Kentucky Wildcats are the

614
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 2: most underrated team in the SEC to me this year.

615
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: It heavily depends on how quarterback shakes out, as will

616
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 2: be the case with a lot of these teams. Joey Gatewood.

617
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 2: They had some good things to say about him coming

618
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 2: out of spring. But I want you to remember Liam

619
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 2: Cohen is the new offensive coordinator here. He comes in

620
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: from the LA Chargers. Mark Stoops never does this. Mark

621
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 2: Stoops felt comfortable enough with where his program is now

622
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 2: to hit not a reset button, but kind of hit

623
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 2: a fast forward button. Wants to do things different offensively,

624
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 2: and the reason I'm talking about quarterback is because a

625
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,479
Speaker 2: lot of folks around Kentucky think the guy who's ultimately

626
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 2: going to start for them, Will Levis, is not on

627
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 2: campus yet. He's a transfer from Penn State. So I'll

628
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 2: grant you this is a shot in the dark a

629
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 2: little bit. I'm counting on quarterback to work out here,

630
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 2: and if it does, I get to blend a lot

631
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 2: of things I like in football. Number one, the overall

632
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 2: mo o of Kentucky physical. You can count on him

633
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 2: to rough people up when you need him too. But also,

634
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 2: they don't need to be basketball on grass. They don't

635
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 2: need to be Bama circa twenty twenty, LSU circa twenty nineteen.

636
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 2: But the ability to push the ball vertically down the

637
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 2: field a little bit better, that's what they've lacked and

638
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 2: really lacked. But I also want to bring in the

639
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 2: old schedule dynamic here. Had to give it its own

640
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 2: post it so it's not just who you play sometimes,

641
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,479
Speaker 2: especially in the SEC, it's when you play him. They

642
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 2: go to South Carolina in week four, Carolina plays Georgia

643
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 2: the week before that. It's a really good time to

644
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 2: draw the game Cocks. They've got Florida in week five,

645
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 2: Florida has got Bama and Tennessee back to back right

646
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 2: before they play Kentucky. Kentucky plays LSU in week six.

647
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 2: You know who LSU plays the week before. They play

648
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 2: the Auburn Tigers the week before, and they got Florida

649
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 2: the week after, And Kentucky plays Georgia in week seven.

650
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 2: Georgia will be fresh off a trip to the planes

651
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 2: to play Auburn in Jorden Hare Stadium the week before.

652
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 2: And so if the schedule dynamics lineup and this offense

653
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 2: jails earlier than expected, Kentucky could all of a sudden

654
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 2: be a team doing a lot of what you don't

655
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 2: think they're supposed to be doing. Kentucky is supposed to

656
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 2: settle into their seven and six mid to low tier

657
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 2: bowl for an SEC team, and they're supposed to serve

658
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 2: as sort of a bump and set and the big

659
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 2: boys can spike them. Maybe that's the case this year,

660
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 2: maybe it's not. I think Kentucky's very underrated. I wanted

661
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 2: to go Ole Miss there because you can make an

662
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 2: argument that Old Miss has got the best quarterback in

663
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 2: the conference coming into the Sea. So how are you

664
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 2: not underrated if you fit that description, but I went

665
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 2: with Kentucky scheduling dynamics one out, Let's go to the

666
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 2: Big Ten. This one's gonna sound weird to you. I'm

667
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 2: picking the Wisconsin Badgers as my most underrated team in

668
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 2: the Big Ten.

669
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: And the reason that's weird.

670
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 2: Is because we've got them at twenty four seven sports

671
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 2: our post spring Top twenty five, we had Wisconsin at

672
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 2: number sixteen. To how the word are you going to

673
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 2: be underrated if you're at number sixteen? Well, I'm gonna

674
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 2: tell you why. I think they're better than the sixteenth

675
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 2: best team in the country. And I looked at some

676
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 2: teams we ranked ahead of them, LSU, Cincinnati, Florida, Notre Dame, Oregon,

677
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 2: and Texas A and M. I could see Wisconsin being

678
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 2: better than every single one of them. Maybe they don't

679
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 2: top any of them, but I could see a path

680
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 2: that I'm about to lay out where Wisconsin is better

681
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 2: than every single one of those teams. Paul christ And

682
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 2: you could tell the people around that program they really

683
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 2: believe they have something offensively this year. I think they

684
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 2: believe they had it last year and it got derailed.

685
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 2: Last year they had that Friday night game. I think

686
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 2: it was against Illinois, and they had like a perfect

687
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 2: first half offensively. People didn't know what to think because

688
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 2: you're used to Wisconsin offense being one thing, and then

689
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 2: you saw a radically different thing, you know, like the

690
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 2: forward pass, a whole lot of it. But then everything

691
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 2: got thrown off the rails through no fault of their own.

692
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 2: They had some injury at wide receiver, They had a

693
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 2: whole lot of COVID stuff. They never really got to

694
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 2: play a season. They played, but it wasn't the Wisconsin

695
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 2: that they could have been. I think they believe they're

696
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 2: going to have some delayed gratification this year, and I

697
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 2: tend to agree with that. Wisconsin's got a sneaky underrated

698
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 2: wide receiver room. I think they got a sneaky underrated quarterback.

699
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 2: A lot of those Badger fans up there, even when

700
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 2: Jack cone Street named Jack Doan on our show, even

701
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,719
Speaker 2: when he was on campus, a lot of them whispered

702
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 2: to each other.

703
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: They never said it out loud, but they whispered.

704
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 2: You know, Graham Mertz maybe better than how one of

705
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 2: these days we're gonna see that gham Mertz kid. Now

706
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 2: you get to see him, They actually get to see

707
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 2: him play Jack Cone this year. More on that later.

708
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,719
Speaker 2: So I am going to take them and the other

709
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: thing schedule dynamic alert here. You know, Wisconsin, they opened

710
00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 2: with Penn State at home. That's a big one right

711
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 2: out of the gate. But they also play Notre Dame

712
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 2: in Michigan in the first month of the season. So

713
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 2: they got Penn State new offensive coordinator there to open.

714
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 2: They've got Notre Dame new quarterback there. I think that's

715
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 2: week two or week three, and then they play Michigan.

716
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 2: A whole lot of newness on offense there too. They're

717
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 2: catching a lot of teams that you could argue are

718
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 2: in transitional mode offensively, and they're catching them early. And

719
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 2: if they think about it, if they come out of

720
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 2: that stretch right there three and oh or four and oh,

721
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 2: which is a distinct possibility, all of a sudden, out

722
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 2: of that group, you've also beaten Notre Dame. If they

723
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 2: beat Notre Dame in Chicago, then all of a sudden,

724
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 2: that's that flag planter. That's not just a conference win,

725
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 2: that's a national, huge marquee win. I'm going to talk

726
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 2: about this game later on over Notre Dame ja bona

727
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 2: fide playoff contender every single year. And what I'm trying

728
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 2: to say to you is that would take Wisconsin for

729
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 2: being a nice top fifteen ish caliber layup for Ohio

730
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 2: State once it's the right time to ooh, that team

731
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,959
Speaker 2: could actually check challenge them. You got Jim Leonard up there,

732
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 2: still turned down Green Bay. Everyone's turning down Green Bay

733
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 2: these days. Well, he's still the defensive coordinator there. So

734
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 2: this is not a team you're just going to throw

735
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 2: up and down the field on. If they can move

736
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 2: it up and down the field on you, they become

737
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 2: a legitimate contender this year to do a lot more

738
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 2: than just make some noise in the Big ten in

739
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 2: their division in the ACC. Total opposite in the Big Ten,

740
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 2: we're going with what was already a top twenty team

741
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 2: in the ACC.

742
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm going the entire opposite direction.

743
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 2: I'm going with a team that has won a combined

744
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 2: six games in the last two years. Most underrated team

745
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 2: in the ACC this year. Give me the Georgia Tech Yellowjackets.

746
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 2: I've been waiting on year three for two years now.

747
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 2: Sounds like kind of a weird version of In the

748
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:42,959
Speaker 2: Air Tonight by Phil Collins.

749
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: You give me Georgia Tech.

750
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 2: Is the most underrated team in the ACC this year,

751
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 2: though this could be one of the nastiest schedules easily

752
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 2: in this conference, it's one of the nastier schedules in

753
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 2: the entire country this year. They play at Clemson, they

754
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 2: play North Carolina, they go to Miami, they go to

755
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, and have Georgia to end the year, back

756
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 2: to back. So you got Irish and dogs at the

757
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 2: end of the year, back to back. That's the downside,

758
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 2: but also the plus side for me if I'm looking

759
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 2: at them as a candidate for most underrated is you

760
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 2: don't expect a lot from them anyway. You really don't

761
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 2: expect a lot from them when you look at the schedule.

762
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 2: But I'm looking at them, and they've won six games

763
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 2: combined the last two years.

764
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: I want six wins plus this year. That's what I'm

765
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: trying to look at.

766
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 2: So there are going to be a lot of times

767
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 2: they're a dog this year, but it's going to be

768
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 2: a lot of six point dog, four point dog, nine

769
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 2: point dog. In other words, if you get that quantum

770
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 2: year three leap, which is sort of the sum greater

771
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 2: than the individual parts instead of the inverse, which it's

772
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 2: like sometimes when you're overturning a culture the first two years,

773
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 2: if that happens and part of that click, part of

774
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 2: that year three click is a year two with your

775
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 2: quarterback there and Jeff Scott, then all of a sudden,

776
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 2: you have what it takes to win those games. And

777
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,719
Speaker 2: so I'm just counting on that. There are a lot

778
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 2: of things. There are a lot of elements in place

779
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 2: I need him to click. But there are a lot

780
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 2: of elements in place that I like about Georgia Tech

781
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 2: this year enough to where, hey, I'll make them my

782
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 2: go to as not a sleeper because I don't think

783
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 2: they're gonna win the conference or anything like that, but

784
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 2: I think they're my most underrated team there. Let's go

785
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 2: to the Pac twelve all the way out west. Now,

786
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 2: this one was hard. I had several teams that I

787
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 2: wanted to go with here. I could make a very

788
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 2: good argument for Oregon State. I can make a very

789
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 2: good argument. I can make a really good one for UCLA.

790
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 2: I could make a slam dunk argument for Utah, but

791
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 2: I'm not going with any of them. Washington is my

792
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 2: most underrated team in the PAC twelve coming into twenty

793
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,479
Speaker 2: twenty one. They have got probably one of the more

794
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 2: workable schedules in America. I saw Brad Powers talking about

795
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,239
Speaker 2: this the other night, and he nailed it. I think

796
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 2: I mentioned this once. I'm gonna mention it again. Let

797
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 2: me tell you about Washington. See, they've got question marks

798
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 2: at quarterback, and for that matter, a lot of people

799
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 2: out west still don't quite know what to make of

800
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 2: Jimmy Lake as a head coach. And I get all that,

801
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 2: and I could go along with that, but we're taking

802
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 2: a roll of the dice here, So let's just zoom

803
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 2: that those factors play out. At least we get plus.

804
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 2: We don't have to get elite, but at least we

805
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 2: get a plus sign in the category of head coach quarterback. Well,

806
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden you look at it and

807
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 2: you say, wait a second, is Washington going to be

808
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 2: favored in like every game they play? And you say, now,

809
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 2: Washington's not going to be favored in every game they play? Well,

810
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 2: they don't play USC or Utah from the south sok

811
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 2: check mark. They get Arizona State at home, they get

812
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 2: Oregon at home. They who else did they play? They

813
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 2: go to Michigan. I mean that's probably outside of the

814
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 2: Oregon game, that's probably their toughest game, and it's an

815
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 2: out of conference game, and that's Week two. And there

816
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 2: are some people out there and now I got some

817
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 2: different opinions on this. I'm right out of pick them

818
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 2: for it. There's some people that think Washington will go

819
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 2: into ann Arborn be favored.

820
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: I'll have to see it.

821
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 2: I think either way, it's going to be very short.

822
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 2: The number is going to be very short under a

823
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 2: field goal either way. But I say that to say

824
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, I mean, you look at this,

825
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 2: and they got easily one of the most workable schedules

826
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 2: in the country. They're not on anyone's national radar. It's

827
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 2: Oregon Southern calib bust. Are are a lot of people

828
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 2: like myself that are in the Utah camp from the

829
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 2: PAC twelve South.

830
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: But be that as it may, I haven't heard anyone

831
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 1: in the Washington camp.

832
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 2: And Washington's sitting there right now at least is my

833
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 2: most underrated team out west. And then let's go to

834
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 2: the Big twelve. I put the Big twelve last because

835
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 2: I did not know where to go with this. I

836
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 2: know what I think about Oklahoma, I know what I

837
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 2: think about Texas, Like, I know what I think about

838
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 2: the bigger teams out there, but I didn't know who

839
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 2: to go with as most underrated, and so I hit

840
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 2: up our buddy Parker over at Stats of War on Twitter,

841
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 2: and I said, convince me that TCU is the most

842
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 2: underrated team in the Big Twelve coming into this year,

843
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 2: because he believes that, and so he sold me on

844
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 2: TCU today. He said Quentin Johnson could be the breakout

845
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 2: wide receiver in the Big Twelve, and I can go

846
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 2: along with that. He also said, I don't think people

847
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 2: have the slightest clue how badly how inept offensive line

848
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 2: play was for TCU last year and it cost him.

849
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 2: Trust me, we watched it. If you were on the

850
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 2: Ramnudle Express with us, we famously watched it implode a

851
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 2: couple of times.

852
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: So, yes, he's right about that.

853
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 2: But if you get good to above average offensive line

854
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 2: play this year, it would be a quantum leap for

855
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 2: them in that department. Max Duggan is who you need

856
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 2: and be. He's good enough quarterback. You got Johnson, so

857
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 2: you got a potential game changing difference maker at wide receiver.

858
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 2: And then you look around and you say, well, other

859
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 2: than Oklahoma. Who are the other alphas out here? They're

860
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,399
Speaker 2: just going to run all over them? And the answer

861
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 2: is there aren't really any, So I can go along

862
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 2: with TCU. Now there was a trade off on this,

863
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 2: and he said, if I make this argument for you,

864
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 2: you got to either do one of two things. You

865
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 2: either got to give my website a shout out, or

866
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 2: you got to talk about how handsome I am. I

867
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,479
Speaker 2: don't think he looks good. I think he's a six

868
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 2: in Scranton. He'd probably be a four in the city.

869
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 2: So he's got terrible playoff takes, very sketch playoff takes,

870
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:57,760
Speaker 2: decent office takes. But I will tell you CFB slash

871
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 2: Grafts is a really good website, really good reason. I

872
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 2: use it during the season so I can vouch for it.

873
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 2: Not CFB Grafts because he can't buy the rights to

874
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 2: the website. Pathetic. But CFB dash graps is a really

875
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 2: good place to go. So those are some good resources.

876
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 2: But to sum that up, SEC Kentucky, Big ten, Wisconsin

877
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 2: in the ACC, it's Georgia Tech.

878
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: Gimme Washington and.

879
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 2: The PAC twelve, and give me TCU in the Big twelve.

880
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 2: And again told you are a really interactive show tonight.

881
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 2: I can be swayed on this because I'm checking the

882
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 2: eye Josh right now and it says we are in

883
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 2: the middle of May, and so we got some time.

884
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 2: I could be talked off Washington. You could easily sell

885
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 2: me on a lot of teams out west. You could

886
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 2: sell me on Virginia. I gave strong thought to the

887
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,399
Speaker 2: University of Virginia. Couldn't get a hold of Jamie Oaks today,

888
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 2: so he couldn't convince me or sway me on that one.

889
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: But that's where I stand. Be very interested to hear

890
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 1: where you stand.

891
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 2: Now. We're going to zoom in and we got to

892
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 2: take some time, and we got to go to one

893
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 2: of the original supporters of Lake Kick. Back when we

894
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 2: first launched Late Kick, one of our first orders of

895
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 2: business was to jump on the LSU twenty nineteen bandwagon.

896
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 2: And it was a very opportune time to do a

897
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 2: very opportune thing, because we rode that thing all the

898
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 2: way into Tuscaloosa and then all the way into Atlanta

899
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 2: and then all the way into New Orleans and Watchington

900
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 2: win a national championship. Still got footage of it right

901
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 2: here in the aforementioned iy Josh. Then things went terrible

902
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty. Again, you remember both of these things.

903
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 2: I don't need to rehash it. If there was an

904
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 2: SEC version of HBO Hard Knocks, this would be the

905
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 2: vote by ten miles. Everyone would want to see behind

906
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 2: the scenes at LSU for twenty twenty one. I just

907
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,760
Speaker 2: want to ask rhetorically and then I want to answer

908
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 2: it with some specific keys. Here. What's it going to

909
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 2: take for LSU in twenty twenty one? Not to win

910
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 2: the SEC again, that'd be great, everybody be happy, but

911
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 2: just to get back to that national respectability relevance. You

912
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 2: look at LSU and you say, man, we got our

913
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 2: hands full this afternoon. You look at LSU, that's a

914
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 2: bona fide top six or top seven kind of team.

915
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 2: What's it gonna take? And so it can be good

916
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 2: sometimes to matter. And what I mean by that is

917
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 2: everyone's got an opinion of LSU. There's no one indifferent.

918
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 2: You walk up to any kind of college football fan.

919
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 2: They could be in Salt Lake City, they could be

920
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 2: in Providence, Rhode Island. I want to meet the ones

921
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 2: in Providence, but they could be there. They could be

922
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 2: a Raleigh North Carolina anywhere in between. You could ask

923
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 2: them LSU football, what's your take. No one's gonna say,

924
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't really think anything about LSU.

925
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 2: Everybody's got an opinion after these last two years, everybody's

926
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 2: got an opinion. Even amongst the LSU fans, there are

927
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,919
Speaker 2: varying degrees of opinions. But I want to know about

928
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 2: the results, see, because it's good sometimes for your brand.

929
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 2: Everyone's talking about brand these days. It's good if you matter,

930
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 2: it's good if everyone thinks something about you, Well, that's

931
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 2: in the marketing world. You know, there's no publicity. That's

932
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 2: bad publicity. I've always thought that's one of the stupidest

933
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 2: things anyone ever said. But what about wins and losses?

934
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 2: Because if they think something about you because you're going

935
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 2: four and eight this year, it's not a good thing

936
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 2: for LSU. So that much we can assure ourselves. Up

937
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 2: what's going to to decide twenty twenty one. One of

938
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 2: the most amazing aspects is anytime I'm talking to LSU fans,

939
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 2: I probably talk to LSU fans per capita as much

940
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 2: as any fan base in America.

941
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: Even to this day. I don't know that There is

942
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: a fan base out.

943
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 2: There right now that has as wide a variance from

944
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 2: extreme one end to extreme the other end of opinion

945
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 2: on their twenty twenty one team as the LSU fan

946
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,919
Speaker 2: base does right now. And the main thing I ask,

947
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 2: and I'm asking right now is what's your opinion of

948
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 2: editors are on all encompassing go wherever you want to?

949
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 2: What is the concern level you have from any kind

950
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,919
Speaker 2: of the off field distractions and that general haze that's

951
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 2: existed around and over the program as of late. Was

952
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 2: twenty twenty just a big blip on the radar screen?

953
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 2: Or is that a big red warning sign? Am? What's

954
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 2: the number in twenty twenty one?

955
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: What do they have to do?

956
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 2: It all boils down to a win loss record. Is

957
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 2: eight and four good enough? Is nine to three the

958
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 2: one you gotta have? Do they have to win double

959
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 2: digit games? And on the other side, what havepen if

960
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:01,760
Speaker 2: you go seven and six or worse?

961
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 1: What's the number?

962
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,439
Speaker 2: That's the four things mainly that I ask LSU fans.

963
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 2: So I was on the Go twenty four seven message

964
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 2: board today got a lot of feedback because I asked

965
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 2: this question, what's the key in twenty twenty one now,

966
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 2: aside from quarterback, because quarterbacks obvious here, they have not

967
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 2: decided and won't probably until well into fall camp. About

968
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 2: Miles Brennan or Max Johnson, I think they can win

969
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 2: with both of them, but I don't necessarily even have

970
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 2: a strong front runner there in my own mind, and

971
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 2: I could get strong arguments either way from you guys.

972
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 2: But outside of that, what are the most popular takeaways

973
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 2: Jesse's showing you right now from last season? Miles Brennan

974
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 2: had a season cut short, and so then in steps

975
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 2: Max Johnson. And you remember the Florida game, and a

976
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 2: lot of you if you watched, you remember the Old

977
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 2: Miss game. But largely you were left with saying, all right,

978
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 2: Miles Brennan will be back next year, and then what well,

979
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 2: and then what may be he's not starting that's the end,

980
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 2: and maybe then what So?

981
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: Max Johnson's very very much in this thing.

982
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 2: This is not a formality like some of these quarterback

983
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 2: battles out there that are really just presented for show

984
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 2: to keep everyone on campus and out of the transfer portal.

985
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 2: This is a legit quarterback battle. But I want to

986
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 2: go beyond quarterback. So outside of that, what's it going

987
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 2: to take for LSU this year. Now. On the Go

988
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 2: twenty four to seven board today, when I asked this,

989
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 2: the most popular sentiment was offensive line, and I think

990
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 2: that was pretty handedly the number one reaction. But then

991
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 2: wide receiver development behind Ksehan Bute, which is the big

992
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 2: glaring thing that we talked about coming out of the

993
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 2: spring game. Like Boutet is a bona fide number one

994
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 2: receiver in the SEC, so you can count on him.

995
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 2: You'd love to have him in the foxhole. But they

996
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 2: had like two or three or four of those guys

997
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 2: in years past, and you want to find which one's

998
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 2: the two this year and the three this year and

999
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 2: the four this year because you got to have some

1000
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 2: stud wide receivers to do what they want to do,

1001
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 2: to do what they brought that new offensive coordinator in

1002
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 2: to do, got to have more than one dependable wide receiver. Now,

1003
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 2: the good news is, again like we talked about, this

1004
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 2: is not a situation where you're trying to make chicken

1005
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 2: salad out of filling the blank. They got a lot

1006
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 2: of talent, it's just unproven. So they got names on

1007
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 2: a depth chart. They got to prove themselves. That's what

1008
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 2: they're looking for, so that the running back room finally

1009
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 2: playing to the sum of the individual parts, which has

1010
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 2: been something that you've been waiting for for quite a while.

1011
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 2: I mean, you had Edwards Alaire, but then after that

1012
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 2: you had a lot of names, and they still got

1013
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 2: a lot of names, and we know what this guy

1014
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 2: should be capable of, but it's just not quite there.

1015
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 2: And not to mention, I'm not just talking about running

1016
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 2: the ball. What you got out of the backfield at

1017
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 2: the running back position in twenty nineteen, that's such a luxury.

1018
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: They had it at Bama with Nause last year.

1019
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 2: All these big time teams these days, and look what

1020
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 2: Ohio State's done at the quarterback and running back position

1021
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 2: etn at Clemson. Like, those guys are dynamite receiving options.

1022
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 2: Those guys would be four star receivers if you just

1023
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 2: lined them up out wide. Do they have that question mark?

1024
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 2: And then also I agree across the board with that.

1025
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 2: But LSU fan nineteen oh nine told your copious amounts

1026
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 2: of shout outs could be forthcoming. He said really early

1027
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 2: on in that thread, the one that I was going

1028
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,240
Speaker 2: to go with immediately, and that's both the coordinator hires

1029
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 2: have to be home runs. You can't have C plus's

1030
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 2: with these You just can't. This is not a situation

1031
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 2: where you have a head coach. I'm going to say

1032
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 2: this as delicately as possible, that is intimately involved in

1033
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 2: the day to day operational aspects of both of these things.

1034
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 2: That is not at Orzonon's wheelhouse. That is not what

1035
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 2: his role should be leading this football team. What he

1036
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 2: should be doing is hopefully hiring some big time coordinators.

1037
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 2: And in this case, I want to specifically zone in

1038
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 2: on defense. Deronte Jones is got to be a home

1039
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 2: run higher. I don't care what Oorgeonon said when he

1040
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 2: was hired. I don't care what choice he was on

1041
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 2: a pecking order. He's the hier. He's got to get

1042
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,879
Speaker 2: the job done now. And let me tell you about

1043
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 2: that LSU defense right now. A lot of you close

1044
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 2: to the program know this. That LSU defense was done

1045
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 2: wrong last year. I don't mean by the opponents, I

1046
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 2: mean internally, they were done wrong. There are a lot

1047
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 2: of really good football players on LSU's defense. Last year

1048
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:00,320
Speaker 2: they got hung out to dry and put in a

1049
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 2: no win situation. And I'm talking about not having a

1050
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 2: shot in some cases when they took the field because

1051
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 2: they were set up for failure. That's not a linebacker's fault.

1052
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 2: That's not a safety's fault. That's a procedural problem. That's

1053
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 2: a coaching staff problem. And so you go into wounded

1054
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 2: animal mode a little bit. When you get put in

1055
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 2: that position by adults that are paid six and seven

1056
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 2: figures to know better than to put you in that position.

1057
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 1: You go into wounded animal mode, and you got trust problems.

1058
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 2: First thing to Roontae Jones has to do is to

1059
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 2: earn the trust of those guys, the talents there. No

1060
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 2: one walks in and looks at LSU's defensive roster and says, well,

1061
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 2: we got to overhaul this thing.

1062
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:33,399
Speaker 1: No, you don't.

1063
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 2: You got the horses there. They got to trust you.

1064
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 2: They trust you, they'll run for you. If all the

1065
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 2: horses at LSU run at their optimal speed, you'll have

1066
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 2: no problem defensively at LSU. That's the first question. And

1067
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 2: then the second thing. Sonny Ship a big up and

1068
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 2: comer on the LSU website. I think he's got a

1069
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 2: lot of promise as a poster. That's Sonny Ship. He

1070
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 2: said both lines of scrimmage, and he made a specific

1071
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 2: point to say conditioning. This is something they were talking

1072
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 2: about coming out of spring on there, and this is

1073
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 2: something that I want to focus on both sides here.

1074
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: See that run game.

1075
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 2: When we're talking about that running back position and talking

1076
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 2: about maximizing potential there. In the twenty nineteen season, one

1077
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 2: of the most underrated aspects was we went into that season.

1078
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 2: I picked them to win the West, and even I

1079
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 2: was sitting there saying, but if they don't win the West,

1080
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 2: it'll probably be because that offensive line underachieved. They won

1081
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 2: the Joe Moore Award. You can talk all you want

1082
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 2: to about what Joe Burrow did for them. They don't

1083
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 2: give the Joe More Award to bad offensive line. So

1084
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:33,800
Speaker 2: the offensive line came through that year. It's got to

1085
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 2: come through this year. And you're not going to sling

1086
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 2: it around to the degree that Joe Burrow was able

1087
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 2: to do in twenty nineteen. So this offensive line has

1088
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 2: got to get it done in the run blocking aspects

1089
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 2: here too. That running back stable is ever going to

1090
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 2: deliver on the infinite amounts of promise that those names

1091
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 2: indicate should be there.

1092
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: It's got to be that offensive.

1093
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 2: Line that gets a job done and then on the

1094
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 2: other side, think about the shift that will no doubt

1095
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:59,240
Speaker 2: happen in the SEC. This year LSU plays Bama, Auburn, Florida,

1096
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 2: A and M. They play every year, all four of

1097
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,760
Speaker 2: those teams. I guarantee you will be more run heavy

1098
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:08,479
Speaker 2: this year than they were last year. So when Sunny

1099
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,320
Speaker 2: is sitting there talking about defensive line conditioning, you're not

1100
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 2: just dealing with one team that's gonna commit to running

1101
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 2: the ball, running the ball, running the ball a lot

1102
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 2: like it used to be a decade plus ago. Alabama's

1103
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 2: gonna run it more this year, Auburn's certainly gonna run

1104
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 2: it more this year.

1105
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 1: Florida has to run it more.

1106
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 2: This year than they did last year, and Texas A

1107
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 2: and M's probably gonna run it more this year too.

1108
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,399
Speaker 2: And so if you don't have this stuff figured out,

1109
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 2: all this basic stuff, the stuff that people don't even

1110
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 2: waste time in preview magazine season talking about, this is

1111
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 2: the difference between ten and two and seven and five

1112
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 2: or whatever those add up to. And so these are

1113
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:42,919
Speaker 2: the things that have to come through. But I really

1114
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 2: circle back to that coordinator thing. When you bring in

1115
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 2: Petees and you bring in Deronte Jones. The next thing

1116
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,799
Speaker 2: you have to do, and I'm talking about azuorz Roon,

1117
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 2: is trust your process and then get out of the

1118
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 2: way because you may still have some lingering issues from

1119
00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:58,399
Speaker 2: last year.

1120
00:47:58,840 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: And you got some.

1121
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 2: Guys around last year that remember what went wrong and

1122
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 2: whyat went wrong internally. See, that was the other piece

1123
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 2: of feedback I didn't really touch on from that message

1124
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 2: board thread. And a lot of the talk that you

1125
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,240
Speaker 2: get when you talk to folks close to the program

1126
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 2: down there, culture and internal dynamics that have a thing

1127
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 2: to do with a wheel route or a coverage or

1128
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 2: anything of that nature. That culture sucked last year. It

1129
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 2: was bad and a lot of those guys are still

1130
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 2: here now. If you hit the reset button, that's cool.

1131
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what goes a long way, even

1132
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 2: if it's not totally resolved, and even if there still

1133
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 2: is some friction. You get me a coordinator in here

1134
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 2: I can play with. I'll go to war form offense defense,

1135
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 2: that's fine, I'll go to warform.

1136
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: That stuff's got to fall in place.

1137
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,439
Speaker 2: I cannot overstate enough the importance of those coordinators falling

1138
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:46,839
Speaker 2: in place.

1139
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 1: The way that fingers crossed you. Hope they will for

1140
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: LSU this year.

1141
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 2: All right, we are well into the show tonight, But

1142
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:56,840
Speaker 2: this is the one that you guys have been asking

1143
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 2: about the most. The schedule Draft is something that I

1144
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 2: like to do every year, normally alone, but I figure

1145
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 2: there's no reason to do this alone this year. The

1146
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 2: Late Kicks scheduled Draft is essentially this. We are blessed

1147
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 2: around here. You could put a period on that sentence

1148
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,280
Speaker 2: and the end the show, but let me be specific.

1149
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,320
Speaker 2: We're blessed because we get to go to college football

1150
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 2: games for free every week. They even feed us for free.

1151
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: Dare I say? They may even pay us a couple

1152
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 1: of dollars to go.

1153
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 2: To these games.

1154
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: And here's the other added benefit.

1155
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 2: We get to pick where we go. Isn't that great? Again?

1156
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 2: Like I said, hashtag blessed? And so in the past,

1157
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 2: I just sit Indian style in my bed at two

1158
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning and say, all right, let's go

1159
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 2: here that week, and then let's go there this week.

1160
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: No more.

1161
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 2: And so what I'm gonna do is, I'm gonna have

1162
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 2: a little schedule draft right here and right now. We're

1163
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 2: going first weeks of the season, first six weeks afterwards,

1164
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 2: it's a crapshoot. We don't know who's gonna be what

1165
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,400
Speaker 2: by that point, record wise, but I want you to

1166
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 2: think along with me here, because here's what we're trying

1167
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 2: to do. We're not just blindly choosing the biggest game

1168
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 2: every week and that's it. We're trying to see the

1169
00:49:56,040 --> 00:50:00,280
Speaker 2: best games. We're trying to see the most legit team tames,

1170
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 2: and we're trying to limit the regrets because the last

1171
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 2: thing you want to do is be bored in a

1172
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 2: plane home Saturday night or Sunday morning and you were

1173
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 2: at a forty five to three blowout and you sat

1174
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 2: there and watched three instant classics unfold simultaneously in an

1175
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 2: empty stadium after your game ended. We want to limit that. Okay,

1176
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 2: so there are may be some big time teams that

1177
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 2: we don't get to see as much because we think

1178
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:21,840
Speaker 2: they're going to be favored by thirty points. Let's go

1179
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 2: Week one, because we already talked about this week a

1180
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 2: lot tonight, and I don't think that there is a

1181
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 2: whole lot of debate about Week one. Now to run

1182
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 2: down quickly the big games in Week one. Look at

1183
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 2: this slider that Jesse's showing you. It is so delicious.

1184
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 2: Penn State is at Wisconsin, you got Louisiana a Texas,

1185
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 2: you got Miami versus Alabama. A lot of you don't

1186
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 2: like hot weather. That one will be indoors, so maybe

1187
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 2: you prefer the controlled climate. Georgia Clemson's outside, it's going

1188
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 2: to be a sauna. It's in Charlotte, it's in the

1189
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:53,479
Speaker 2: first week of September. Cargo short, sticking to the backs

1190
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:54,879
Speaker 2: of your legs. It's great.

1191
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 1: At UCLA will be none of that.

1192
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:59,359
Speaker 2: It'll be seventy five with a forty five duo point

1193
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 2: and then or Dame at Florida State on the Sunday.

1194
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:02,439
Speaker 1: So where are you going?

1195
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's pretty obvious where we're going. We

1196
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 2: got to go to Georgia and Clemson. I didn't have

1197
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 2: much doubt about that one. But out of curiosity, if

1198
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 2: you couldn't go to Georgia Clemson, where would you go?

1199
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 2: This is where it gets a little squirrely. You think, oh,

1200
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 2: you gotta go see Alabama, right, n I'd go all

1201
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,799
Speaker 2: the way out to UCLA. If I'm gonna call them

1202
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 2: a sleeper team on the West coast, I know good

1203
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:24,320
Speaker 2: and well I'm not gonna get many other shots to

1204
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 2: see UCLA in person. So what I don't want is

1205
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 2: the Bruins in the Pac twelve Championship game, and I

1206
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 2: hadn't been able to watch them a single time. Now

1207
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 2: I can get to LSU other times in this year,

1208
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 2: but be that as it may, I can't go out

1209
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,360
Speaker 2: to Pasadena and pass up Georgia versus Clemson.

1210
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: So give me that one in Week one.

1211
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 2: Then in Week two. This one's manageable. But this one's

1212
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 2: also I think pretty obvious. The Week two lineup has

1213
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 2: Texas at Arkansas, not versus. It's not a neutral site game.

1214
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 2: Texas is going to Arkansas in Week two if you're

1215
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 2: keeping score at home. By the way, yes, Texas has

1216
00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 2: Louisiana and Arkansas to open the season at Hogs.

1217
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: Oregon is at Ohio State.

1218
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, Iowa is at Iowa State, And this is going

1219
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 2: to aggravate me to no when because I really want

1220
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 2: to be at that one.

1221
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 1: And Washington is at Michigan.

1222
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 2: Could be Washington's easily their most losable game until they

1223
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 2: play Oregon.

1224
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: How are we not going to go to Columbus Ohio here?

1225
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 1: How are we not going to do that?

1226
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 2: So we've got to pick Oregon at Ohio State. That's

1227
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 2: going to be a noon kickoff too. When you sit

1228
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 2: at home and watch games, a lot of you love

1229
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 2: for your team to be the primetime game, but if

1230
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 2: you're traveling to games, you want as many noon kickoffs

1231
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 2: as possible because that either gives you time to travel

1232
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 2: the rest of the day, or it gives you time

1233
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 2: to sit in an empty stadium and watch the three

1234
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 2: point thirty and nighttime kickoffs, ideally not in an airport.

1235
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 1: And so let's go Oregon at Ohio State.

1236
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 2: If I couldn't go to that one, Texas at Arkansas,

1237
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 2: and Iowa at Iowa State.

1238
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,919
Speaker 1: We're literally two A two B. I'll flip a coin.

1239
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 1: We can draw short straws to see who gets what.

1240
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 2: Week three. Week three is a lot of big time

1241
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 2: teams going on the road. Here three, we've got a

1242
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 2: very rare out of conference game for the Auburn Tigers.

1243
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 2: Auburn goes to Penn State. You heard that right. You

1244
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:09,919
Speaker 2: don't hear it very often. Auburn's going to Penn State

1245
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 2: in Week three. This is the week BAMA goes to Florida.

1246
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 2: We don't get to see that matchup a lot in

1247
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:16,800
Speaker 2: the SEC even in conference play, we don't get to

1248
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 2: see it. How about Michigan State at Miami. Hadn't heard

1249
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 2: a lot of talk about that game. That's a pretty

1250
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 2: noteworthy out of conference matchup. And this is when Cincinnati

1251
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 2: starts that stretch of Power five hurdles and they go

1252
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 2: to Indiana. So I'm taking Alabama at Florida in this week.

1253
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:34,360
Speaker 2: I didn't take a whole lot of time. This is

1254
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 2: the first big test for Florida. It's the first primetime

1255
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 2: kind of spotlight showdown matchup, whatever you want to fill

1256
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 2: in there, hyperbolically for Emory Jones and Dan Mullen because

1257
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 2: I think that Bama defense is going to be as

1258
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 2: good as it's been in several years, and you've got

1259
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 2: to be able to throw the ball on him. And

1260
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 2: the one thing we kept hearing out of spring practice

1261
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 2: is Emory Jones some good some bad accuracy issues though,

1262
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 2: got to hone in on that accuracy. Well, I don't

1263
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,840
Speaker 2: know that Nick Saban's defense is what I want to

1264
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 2: use to hone, but I do want you to think

1265
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 2: about this the swamp ninety plus thousand, because this is

1266
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:11,799
Speaker 2: really going to be the first time against the big

1267
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 2: conference opponent you've seen it in quite a while. I

1268
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 2: was down there the last time that environment existed pretty

1269
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 2: much it was something to behold. That was the Auburn

1270
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 2: game a couple of years ago. So looking forward to

1271
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 2: this one, however, there is a big draw to me

1272
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 2: to go to the Auburn Penn State game because I've

1273
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 2: never been able to go to a game at Penn State.

1274
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 2: But there's gonna be opportunities later in the year for

1275
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 2: both teams. That's the key here, because I can see

1276
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 2: Bama at Florida and maybe never see it again for

1277
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 2: I don't know how many years. I can't necessarily always

1278
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 2: see an SEC team going to Happy Valley, but I

1279
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 2: can get up there later in the year. So remember

1280
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 2: that we're going Bama Florida week three? How about Week four?

1281
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,800
Speaker 2: This one was easy to me. But this is a

1282
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 2: really good and really eclectic lineup. And this is where

1283
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 2: the neutral site stuff starts to come into play. So

1284
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 2: Texas A and M plays Arkansas. That's neutral. That's in Arlington.

1285
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,759
Speaker 2: How about that Notre Dame versus Wisconsin. It's not in

1286
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 2: South Bend, it's not in Madison. It is in Soldier

1287
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 2: Field in Chicago, Illinois. Right there on the lake. And

1288
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 2: it's not too late in the year either, so it

1289
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,840
Speaker 2: should be nice and crisp in Chicago that Saturday afternoon,

1290
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 2: Iowa State goes to Baylor. North Carolina goes to Georgia Tech.

1291
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:21,719
Speaker 2: This Notre Dame Wisconsin game's a circle game for me.

1292
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 2: So I mean, you can fly into O'Hare and just

1293
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 2: take the train. I only have to run a car,

1294
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 2: so I'm gonna easily take Notre Dame versus Wisconsin there.

1295
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 2: And also, this is, as I said earlier in the show,

1296
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 2: it's Wisconsin's flag plant opportunity.

1297
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,320
Speaker 1: This is not just some win against the Big Ten program.

1298
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 1: This is Notre Dame. Notre Dame has been to the

1299
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:41,919
Speaker 1: playoff a couple of times the last few years.

1300
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 2: This is one of the steps you take for Wisconsin

1301
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:48,800
Speaker 2: as a program to go from upper tier, upper echelon

1302
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 2: Big Ten team that can't clear the hurdle that Ohio

1303
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:55,319
Speaker 2: State inevitably would be later in the year to this team.

1304
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 2: Maybe they're not as good as Ohio State, but you

1305
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,360
Speaker 2: know what, if you get into that sort of turkey,

1306
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 2: could two teams from the same conference make the playoff

1307
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 2: type conversation late in the year. These are the kind

1308
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 2: of games you have to win if you want to

1309
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 2: be in that conversation, and even if you're not, Like,

1310
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:12,319
Speaker 2: that's as close as Wisconsin would have been in quite

1311
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 2: a while.

1312
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:15,800
Speaker 1: How about Week five? Week five? I'm going to be

1313
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 1: so I'm already looking at week six.

1314
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 2: It makes me so mad. But first things. First, Week

1315
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 2: five offers US ole Miss at Alabama. Week five offers

1316
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:28,400
Speaker 2: US Arkansas at Georgia. Really good games, but it offers

1317
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:31,400
Speaker 2: US Auburn at LSU as well. We got Boston College

1318
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 2: at Clemson. Now this counts on Boston College overachieving this year.

1319
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 2: That's why it's on the list here. Cincinnati at Notre

1320
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 2: Dame is extremely appealing. I'll explain to you why I'm

1321
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 2: not picking that game. Michigan at Wisconsin can't go wrong there.

1322
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 2: But I just saw Wisconsin last week, right, So I'm

1323
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 2: going Auburn at LSU. I haven't missed this game. Aside

1324
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 2: from last year, I haven't missed this game in several years,

1325
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 2: and it always has delivered for me. This was the

1326
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 2: one where Less got fired and I watched it happen

1327
00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 2: pretty much on the field afterwards. This is the one

1328
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 2: the next year where we thought gust got fired, but

1329
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 2: it turns out he resurrected his team from the dead

1330
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 2: and got his contract extension and you know the rest there.

1331
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:08,840
Speaker 1: So I'm going to go down there because.

1332
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 2: I also want you to remember, this will be the

1333
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 2: first conference game in Tiger Stadium at full capacity since

1334
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 2: the twenty nineteen season. Very juicy, yes, very juicy. Indeed,

1335
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 2: the reason I'm not picking Cincinnati at Notre Dame, it's

1336
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 2: because I've got opportunities to see Notre Dame and I

1337
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,919
Speaker 2: don't have Saturday opportunities to see Cincinnati. But since he's

1338
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 2: got two Friday night games and that's not all that

1339
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 2: far up the road for me here in Nashville, So

1340
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 2: theoretically I could kick up the Cincinnati if I want

1341
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 2: to see them play a Friday night game, could do

1342
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,919
Speaker 2: that and then leave from Cincinnati on that Saturday morning

1343
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 2: and go wherever we need to go. So for that reason,

1344
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 2: I passed on Cincinnati at Notre Dame. Now, this Week

1345
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 2: six is really a best case, worst case. It's best

1346
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 2: case for you if you're going to sit at home,

1347
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 2: because these are the games you get to pick from.

1348
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 2: Week six is incredible this year in college football. But

1349
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 2: I want you to think about picking just one of

1350
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 2: these to go to. So you got Georgia at Auburn.

1351
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 2: I mean, if you grew up where I grew up,

1352
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 2: this is a staple. You don't miss that one. Except

1353
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 2: that we've got probably the top rated game in the

1354
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 2: SEC all year also happening, and that's Bama at Texas

1355
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 2: A and m oh By the way, the most anticipated

1356
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 2: game in the Big twelve every single season is also happening,

1357
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 2: and that is Oklahoma Texas.

1358
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 1: We got Notre Dame going to Virginia Tech.

1359
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 2: What if I Tech beats North Carolina in Week one

1360
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 2: and they're on the national radar.

1361
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:32,080
Speaker 1: What if that happens? How big would that game be?

1362
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 1: How about Iowa?

1363
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:35,439
Speaker 2: What if i was pulled a couple of wins early

1364
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 2: in the year, and what if Penn State beats Wisconsin

1365
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 2: early in the year. All of a sudden, that game

1366
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 2: Penn State at Iowa, that could be a monster game.

1367
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 2: And Utah at USC is going to do nothing less

1368
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 2: than decide the Pac twelve South. In my opinion, this

1369
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 2: is very difficult. I think that I have figured out something.

1370
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:57,479
Speaker 2: I passed it by Director Emeritith Collins year earlier. Here's

1371
00:58:57,520 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 2: what I think. I think, if I have to choose one,

1372
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 2: we're going to Alabama A and M first off. But

1373
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 2: the powers that be at CBS, we happen to know

1374
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 2: a couple of them. They get that primetime game every year.

1375
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 2: Normally it used to be Bama LSU. Last year it

1376
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 2: was Georgiabama. Could it be Bama, Texas A and M

1377
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 2: this year? Because we know that OU Texas is starting

1378
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 2: at noon and we know it's only two and a

1379
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 2: half hours up the road from College Station. Could this

1380
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 2: be the opportunity for us to pull the two for

1381
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 2: one and be at the Cotton Bowl at noon Eastern

1382
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 2: of course, and then be in College Station by eight

1383
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 2: o'clock Eastern time for that night kickoff. I'm just saying,

1384
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 2: let's bookmark that as a possibility. But if we have

1385
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 2: to choose only one, we're going Bama to Texas, A

1386
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 2: and M. This list is subject to change. I can

1387
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 2: be swayed. I'll be somewhere though, and so we want

1388
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,919
Speaker 2: to have no regrets. Just don't take me to blowout games.

1389

Speaker 2: We got to be at the games that matter. Jesse's

Speaker 2: of the season. Will do sometime in the next couple

1393
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,000

1394
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 2: Limit the regrets, That's what I'm asking. Limit the regrets.

1395

Speaker 2: I don't know how in the world we did this,

1396
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 2: but we went an hour tonight and that was not

1397
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 2: in the cars, that was not a plan, that was

1398
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 2: not a scripted play.

1399
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 1: We were just audibled. And you know, we just went
