1
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: Signs great movie by m Night Shyamalan. Signs also something

2
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: that I think more and more frequently are starting to

3
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: pop up around us. Do you just get the feeling

4
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: sometimes some really weird stuff's going to happen in a

5
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: college football season? If your answer is yes, you feel

6
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: a lot like I do. We're jam packed high top

7
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: a fall like a suddenly very autumn like downtown Nashville, Tennessee.

8
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: Wasn't the case twenty four hours ago, kids, but it

9
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: is now. It is Tuesday, August fifteenth. You over lord

10
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. So we got camp Intel, and you

11
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: know that because if it's late kicking, it's August. We're

12
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: talking about what's happening on actual football field's coast to

13
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: coast Texas. Hype is back, but not back on this show.

14
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: I say that because we really didn't buy in last year.

15
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: The model did this wretched computer I'm holding in my

16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: hand did, But we did. And so we're gonna answer

17
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: a question from one of our dearests out there tonight

18
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: about that another one of you wanted to do him,

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 1: about Mario Christabaul and whether he's just totally fraudulent down

20
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 1: at Miami. We will answer. Pate State All American Team

21
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: Defensive Edition is released tonight. We've got predictions like if

22
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: you just if you want to be surprised by what

Speaker 1: Oklahoma does this year, don't watch the show tonight because

24
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna spoil the ending for you. I'm gonna give

25

Speaker 1: you what IFFs. We got some bullet predictions, and we

27
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: away two Chali tonight. We're going plural on Chalice. We're

28
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: giving away a couple of Chali tonight. I couldn't even

29
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: decide which one of you to award a Chalice too.

30
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: So they're watching us in Enterprise, Alabama. They're watching us

31
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. Dexter, Michigan is tuned in Saratoga Springs,

32
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: Utah is tuned in this my vow to you. I

33
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: decided it like fifteen minutes ago. I am revealing the

34
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: name of the tour for twenty twenty three. This Thursday,

35
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: we had the Renaissance Tour. We had the Every Given

36
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: Saturday Tour. You're gonna know so what this falls tour

37
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: name is this Thursday, and within a week the Late

38
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: Kickstore is going to open up again. So We're not

39
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: going to use this as a massive promotional tool. I

40
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: just let you know when it's opening. You guys, do

41
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: whatever you want to with it. I will tell you

42
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: this though, if you're not following on Instagram, you're missing

43
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: some sneak peeks at Late Kick Josh and the story

44
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: there as we speak. So I beg you to subscribe

45
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: to the channel, But frankly, you guys are doing a

46
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: great job on that, so just keep up doing what

47
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: you're doing. Let's dive into fall Camp Intel. Now, let's

48
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: go ahead and ceremonially pop the paper before we even

49
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: get into this camp. Nuggets and intel is what this

50
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: show lives, eats, sleeps, and breathes on this time of year.

51
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: And at Texas A and M, we talked to you

52
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago about how I thought the

53
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: tight end room there was one of the more underrated

54
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: in the country. Well, sophomore tight end Donovan Green has

55
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 1: a torn acl that happened in the scrimmage the other day,

56
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: so he's probably out for the year six four, two

57
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: thirty five. He was the number five overall tight end

58
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty two cycle. Okay, so that's not catastrophic,

59
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: but it's also not great. Obviously, jimbo Fisher after this happened,

60
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: he tried to ease concerns and say, I still like

61
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: that room. He's not lying to you, he still does

62
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: like that room. They got Max right there. More of

63
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: the blocker. Jake Johnson was the number one tight end

64
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty two class. That's a guy who

65
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: really gets bumped up the depth chart a little bit,

66
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: and he was already going to be on the field.

67
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: They'll lean on him a lot more. And so if

68
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: you're trying to look for early guys that are probably

69
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: under the radar as pivot points in offenses. Not that

70
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: they hurt for wideout talent there, but Jake Johnson's going

71
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: to be an important player I think for them. For

72
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: the record, you haven't heard me say quarterback competition, quarterback controversy,

73
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: et cetera with Texas A and in a single time

74
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: this fall or summer as it were. That's because Connor

75
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: Wigman's taking all the first team reps out there. That's

76
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: not a surprise. Let's go to USC. So remember back

77
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: in spring US he couldn't even practice like they want to.

78
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: Why because they didn't have defensive depth, and they certainly

79
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: didn't have it last year, So do they have it

80
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: this year? Well, it's not gonna shock you to learn that.

81
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: Folks close to the program keep telling us, Hey, guys,

82
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding you. The defense looks a lot better.

83
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: That's true technically. It's also true that it was horrendous

84
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: last year, so there was nowhere to go but up.

85
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: But I don't want to knock what they're doing out there.

86
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: So they did make some big moves in the portal,

87
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: and I don't doubt that they'll probably be significant to

88
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: quantum leaps. Improved statistically this year from the what ninety

89
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: fourth ranked points per game defense and FBS last year. Okay,

90
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: but I want to know hoopst not just what hoops

91
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: is gonna stand out this year. They got a linebacker

92
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: Tacket Curtis. It's a true freshman number twelve and the

93
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three cycle at linebacker six two twenty five.

94
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: When I talked to folks at USC, boom, that's the

95
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: name tack At Curtis. Josh, you gotta watch out attack

96
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: at Curtis. Well, guess what I'm gonna do, kids, I'm

97
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: gonna watch off for Tackt Curtis. And as you know,

98
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: or I guess you should know by now if you've

99
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: studied those helmet grids, USC schedule is kind of backloaded.

100
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: So the Trojans are high profile team. I don't think

101
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: that you'll be talking about them week to week early

102
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: in the year. But remember, there does come a time

103
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: later in the year where they got every one of them,

104
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: or virtually every one of those other more highly ranked

105
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: odds teams out there in the Pac twelve, and they

106
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: got to play every single one of them. And it's

107
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: depth that you got to be focused on. Okay, it's

108
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: preview magazine season. All of us get enamored with those

109
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: those first twenty two names, and then what happens by

110
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: week six? You got red sharpie all over the place

111
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: because folks are either banged up or outright just out

112
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: for the year. Well, Tackt Curtis is just a name

113
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on. There. I need more than him,

114
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: I need depth. It's just a name that keeps surfacing. Also,

115
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: they're not hurting for wide receiver talent, but we keep

116
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: on hearing about zacharyah Branch. That's a true freshman five

117
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: star receiver. Just keep an eye on him. Brennan Rice

118
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: is out there. Singer they got from Arizona. Marial Williams, Yes,

119
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: he's still there. Loaded room. Doesn't mean an elite true

120
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: freshman couldn't step up at LSU. Not so great news really,

121
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: So you know they are doing this thing down there

122
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: where they're just trying to portal in a secondary essentially.

123
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: We talked about that a million times on the show.

124
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: Here comes a million and one, but not in a

125
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: good way. So Denver Harris has been a problem of

126
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: sorts for them lately. It's not something I've spoken about

127
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: on the show, but now everyone down there is talking

128
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: about it, so I will too. Denver Harris had a

129
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: pretty pisspoor attitude since he's been at LSU. That's not

130
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: news to anyone who knew about Denver Harris at Texas

131
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: A and M because that's where he was last year.

132
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: So Denver Harris has not been at practice the last

133
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: couple of days. Denver Harris reportedly was pretty instrumental in

134
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: one fight that happened the other day at practice, almost

135
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: another one that happened afterwards. Denver Harris also not to

136
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: be found anywhere in the team photo. I don't know

137
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: what's going to happen with him. I think LSU has

138
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: other players therefore more concerned about at this point than

139
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: Denver Harris, Zia Alexander Deuce Chestnut. Those two dudes look good,

140
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: so they got them out of the portal as well.

141
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: I would at this point be a little surprised if

142
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: if Denver Harris is playing a major role in the

143
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: LSU secondary this year. However, I got two stocks that

144
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: are way up down there. This is not a surprise

145
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: to an LSU fan, But if you're a Tennessee fan

146
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: and you just want to know what's happened in the

147
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: LSU Molik Neighbors big time talent last year, Stott just

148
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: continues to soar down in baton rugs. There's none to

149
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: be found anywhere. If you do see some Elik Neighbors stock,

150
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: snatch it up. And Mason Smith. I remember it like

151
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: it was a year ago, because it was they opened

152
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: against Florida State, Mason Smith's former five star guy on

153
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: the defensive line. Everything about the expectation of how good

154
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: the LSU defensive front could be is revolving around this

155
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: six six, three hundred and fifteen pound guy in the

156
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: middle and then boom, he tears ligaments in his knee.

157
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: He's out for the year, and I had a little

158
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: sinking feeling for my LSU brethren in my heart, and

159
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: then they just went and won the SEC West. Anyway, well,

160
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: this year they have him back, and the question is always,

161
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: first off, is he back? And then secondly does he

162
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: have that explosiveness that twitch et cetera sounds that way?

163
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: There's also dudes like Harold Perkins already down there who

164
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: didn't get hurt last year. So LSU is going to

165
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: be really formidable upfront. What about Florida State? Florida State,

166
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: the blue chip ratio not as kind to Florida State

167
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,679
Speaker 1: as it is to the other elite contenders out there. Right,

168
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: the blue chip ratio is just the overall ratio of

169
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: former four and five star guys on your roster compared

170
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: to guys who weren't former four or five stars. History

171
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: says nobody below fifty percent in the blue chip ratio

172
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: has ever won a national championship. Florida State's in the

173
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: low to mid forties. What do we talk about all

174
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: the time on this show. Just because it hasn't happened

175
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: doesn't mean it can happen. Things happen for the first

176
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: time all the time, and so Florida State's trying to

177
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: be the first of the batch of maybe future teams

178
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: that are able to break through that threshold. Were going

179
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: to do it. We all know they have to do

180
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: it with transfer talent. Here's where the good news pops in.

181
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: Sounds like they hit on all of these transfers. So

182
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: first off, they signed the number six transfer portal class.

183
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: They signed eight four star kids in that class. Just

184
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: some names we keep hearing about over at Nol's twenty

185
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: four to seven. They're doing a great job of chronicling

186
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: and documenting all this. They got a couple of tight

187
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: ends there, jahem Bell for example. Kyle Morlock is another.

188
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: Those two guys came in and it's really interesting all

189
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the versatility that gives you the two

190
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: tight end sets the different multiplicity. Offensively, it's just a

191
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: word I want to fit into the show tonight. Someone

192
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: bet me five bucks on it. The multiplicity people at

193
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: the tight end position looks like Mike Norvel, at least

194
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,239
Speaker 1: on paper, has a lot of weapons at his disposal.

195
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: It doesn't stop there. Braden Fisk, the defensive lineman, looks good.

196
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: Keon Coleman. Remember the wide receiver out of Michigan State,

197
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: You know when there was all that dust, All that's smoke,

198
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: I guess is a better word around Michigan State. Is

199
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: Peyton Thorne the quarterback going to leave? Is Keon Coleman

200
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: gonna leave? Yes? Yes, one of them went to Auburn.

201
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: We'll talk about him in a little while. And the

202
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: other one, the wide receiver, Keon Coleman, is down at

203
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: Florida State, and I don't think it should surprise anyone

204
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: who's watched him play. He's shining early in fall camp

205
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: and looks to be an integral part of their offense

206
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: and their passing attack, central cypress at corner. I like it.

207
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: I didn't even mention him from Virginia. He's looked really good.

208
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 1: So I cannot speak highly enough of how good they're

209
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: talking about their transfers down there, which is a good

210
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: thing because they have to have them come through if

211
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: they're going to hit that over at nine and a

212
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: half wins. Heavily juiced to the over. Didn't realize that.

213
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: So a lot of folks loving them from Florida State

214
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: right now, do you love Ohio State. Where are you tonight?

215
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: Where is the Ohio State quarterback battle? As the sun

216
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: sets here on August fifteenth? Well, Ryan Day, and I

217
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: quote says it's hard to name someone when there isn't

218
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: a significant gap. And he also says heading into week

219
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: one without a starter is not ideal. Now that's an

220
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: evergreen statement, but the first part is, Ryan Day, I

221
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: don't think bsing you. I just think there hasn't been

222
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: a ton of separation. I have some disagreement there. I

223
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: got a couple of different Buckeye group texts that I

224
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: talk to my buddies in and I'm obviously the outsider,

225
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: and they follow every one of the four dozen websites

226
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: that follow Ohio State day to day up there, so

227
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: you know, they claim to know more than me. However,

228
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: when I listen to Ryan Day talk like that, when

229
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 1: I listened to Kirby Smart down at Georgia talk about

230
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: some of the depth issues they're dealing with, there's always

231
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: this contingent of folks who think, wink, wink, nod, nod, No,

232
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: he's just saying that, And especially in the portal age,

233
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: sometimes it is a valid retort to say, oh, he's

234
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: just he's just trying to present the idea there's a

235
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: quarterback battle to keep both of them on campus because

236
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: one of them could hop in the portal any second.

237
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: One of them can lose interest if he knows he's

238
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: been bypassed. I'm not telling you that doesn't happen. I'm

239
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: just not sure there is a slam dunk QB one here,

240
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: and Ryan Day's lying to me. I'm not sure that's

241
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: the case. And I also don't think it's a death

242
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: knell of any sorts for Ohio State. I mean, they're

243
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: early in fall camp still, like USC has already had

244
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: their second scrimmage because they have a week zero game.

245
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: Ohio State's not that far in yet, but that's going

246
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 1: to sort itself out. I have been of the opinion

247
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: and continue to be with Ohio State that they can

248
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: have pretty good quarterback play this year and win every

249
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: game on their schedule. Can not, will can, And the

250
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:41,599
Speaker 1: reason is because there's this collective there's this collective galvanization.

251
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: I think that happens sometimes when you know you don't

252
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: have a prolific quarterback, when you don't have a CJ.

253
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: Stroud or a Bryce Young coming into the season, you know,

254
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: you got a guy that at best is going to

255
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: be serviceable, pretty good, won't lose us games, but he's

256
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: not gonna take over a game and win it. You

257
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: know what that does to an offensive line, in a

258
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: running back room, in a defensive You know what that

259
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: does to a defensive front that knows. Maybe we got

260
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: to takeover games, Maybe we got to Iowa our way

261
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: to a win or two here and there. I think

262
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: it pulls a little more out of them than otherwise

263
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 1: would be pulled out of them. That's my opinion. We'll

264
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: see if that's Ohio State this year. There is some

265
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: other news though. You remember post Springs looked like a

266
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: really good team that was really suspect at offensive tackle. Well,

267
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: they went out to San Diego State and got Josh

268
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: Simmons and they opened fall camp. And I came on

269
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: air and said two things you need to know. First Off,

270
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: this dude's running with the threes and secondly, he won't

271
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: be oneing with the threes for very long. I didn't

272
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: have the speech impediment when I said it. Then I

273
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: do now. But Josh Simmons, voila running with the ones

274
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: at left tackle. He bumped the kid that was there

275
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: to right tackle, and so that's important for obvious reasons,

276
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: because the left tackle position is premium in the sport

277
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 1: of football. But think about your biggest competition up there,

278
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: Think about Penn State and Michigan and the edge rush

279
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: talent that both of those teams are going to employ

280
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: against you. You can't be average left tackle. You can

281
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: be elite in a bunch of other places. You've got

282
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: a liability at left tackle, then you're ten and two.

283
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: This year may be worse, and so you can need

284
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: to look at that one of two ways. You can

285
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 1: say our hopes and dreams rest on a San Diego

286
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 1: State transfer, or you can say, I don't think we

287
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: would have taken him if he wasn't quality. I would

288
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: lean more towards the ladder than the former At Auburn.

289
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: I sat here the other night and I said, uh, oh,

290
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: doesn't sound great. The quarterback situation does not sound promising,

291
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: the returns don't sound sterling coming out of this Saturday scrimmage.

292
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: I think everyone down there wants Peyton Thorn to win

293
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: the job. When I say everyone, I mean the coaching

294
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: staff and really the head coach. And I just didn't

295
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: hear that he had had a great day. Well, I

296
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: got some feedback, some good old fashioned feedback, and the

297
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: feedback was this, most people close to the program still

298
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: expect Peyton Thorn to win the job. It's also a

299
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: good thing they don't play this week. So those were

300
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: little two bullet points that I got sent to me.

301
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: I think that's probably where I tend to fall to.

302
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: I think eventually Peyton Thorn will be the guy who emerges.

303
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: He just hasn't emerged yet. That's why God made four

304
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: weeks of fall camp instead of one and a half

305
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: or two somewhere in Genesis. But it's there, and so

306
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: that's what's happening around college football again. We got a

307
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: big week of scrimmages coming up Saturday, coast to coast.

308
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: They'll be scrimmaging, and that's when a whole lot of

309
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: separation is going to happen. That's when quarterback rooms, that's

310
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: when position battles get whittled down. You're not going past

311
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: two weeks in fall camp and splitting reps three ways

312
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: at some of these positions, and very rarely are you

313
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: even splitting them two ways. Speaking of the name, Peyton

314
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: just spelled a different way. I got to tell you something.

315
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: I told you we were going to give away one

316
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: Chalice of Supremacy per show in August, and I lied

317
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: to you, because tonight we're giving away two. We're giving

318
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: away chali of Supremacy is what we're doing. So Colin,

319
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: let's go with Peyton first. So our guy, Peyton is

320
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: a teacher. That's as specific as I can get for

321
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: certain reasons that are legal in nature. But he sent

322
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: along this note. He said, I wanted to share a

323
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: moment from class today when I showed your Tennessee prediction

324
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: video and latekick to the students. I'm currently an intern

325
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: teaching while getting my master's degree at Tennessee, and I

326
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: like to start most of my classes with something football

327
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: and UT related. Today I had both classes give me

328
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: their predictions for the season. The best part about it

329
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: is the school's mascot is the Tornadoes. Sadly I can't

330
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: get a picture with the kids due to personal privacy concerns,

331
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: but I wanted you to know the word is being spread. Peyton,

332
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: A Chalice of Supremacy is coming your way. Thank you

333
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: so much, But it wasn't done. Colin also has exclusive

334
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: evidence of another one of you who is doing probably

335
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: the most genius bit of guerrilla marketing for us, and

336
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: that is taking a very very cute young child who

337
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: is still in a stroller, strapping late Kick advertising to

338
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: that child. It's from Lawton, Oklahoma. This was Trevor. He said,

339
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: we're going to have the entire town subscribed by the

340
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: time we are done. We aren't above using a baby

341
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: to get to two hundred thousand subscribers. That's literally all

342
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 1: it takes. You could offer five hundred dollars for one

343
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: of these Chaldice supremacy. You don't get it. But if

344
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: you strap a cardboard promotional sign to your kids buggy

345
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: and push him around Lowton, Oklahoma, you absolutely do. So

346
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: Trevor got one coming your way, and we got to

347
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: move on here because we've got a lot of show left.

348
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,479
Speaker 1: But don't think I didn't see the dude who went

349
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: in Best Buy and put all the laptops on our show.

350
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: I saw that and we will address it Thursday. So

351
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: thank you in advance to whoever you were. I told

352
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: you it was a little fall like in Nashville today.

353
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: How fall was it? Well, it was so fall like today.

354
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: The do points have dropped so precipitously that I'm going

355
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: to take a chapstick and turn the label because this

356
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: company does not sponsor us yet, and I'm just going

357
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: to put some moisturizer on the lips, because that's what

358
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: they teach you to do on live Internet and broadcasting school.

359
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: What If Time, Chapter twenty four of What Ifs. This

360
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: is where we just reckulossly and sometimes irresponsibly go wherever

361
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: our mind wants us to go, because it's August and

362
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: everyone's undefeated. First up, we're going to Clemson, South Carolina.

363
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: Aiden asked, what if Garrett Riley turns Clemson's offense into

364
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: a top ten unit? Well, what if he does? It

365
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: hasn't been great up there the last two years. Twenty

366
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: twenty one, they were seventy eighth in points per game.

367
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: Last year they bumped all the way up to thirtieth,

368
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: still not top ten. So Garrett Riley comes in from TCU, Well,

369
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: what has he done lately? Really good stuff? Last year

370
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: you may have seen them. They played in things like

371
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: the National Championship Game, and last year TCU was ninth

372
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: in the country in points per game offensively, so number one.

373
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: If this happens, if Clemson really does vault all the

374
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: way inside the top ten of scoring offense. It was

375
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: a tremendous hire. I think we all understand that. More

376
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: on Garrett Riley in a second number two. If this happens,

377
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 1: it probably means they win the ACC because I mean

378
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: they'll be pretty good defensively. So if Clemson's top ten

379
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: or top fifteen both sides of the ball, Jesse, here's

380
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: a good project for stats and info in there. When's

381
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: the last time someone finished top fifteen both sides of

382
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: the ball and didn't win the ACC? Better stat when's

383
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,479
Speaker 1: the last time someone exhibited more than a faint pulse

384
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,239
Speaker 1: and didn't win the ACC? So if they're at that

385
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: level both sides of the ball, yeah, I think they

386
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: won the ACC. Here's the third problem, very first world problem.

387
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: Does someone snatch Garrett Riley up as a head coach?

388
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: If they're that good this year that quickly? Does someone

389
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: just make it a one and done situation for Clemson?

390
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: That's the kind of thing you want to worry about.

391
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: But that's where I think that would go if that

392
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: what if panned out? Next up? I don't like where

393
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: this is about to go. I'm gonna take a shit

394
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: from the challice Colin, you can do your worst. Yeah,

395
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: So cade hit us up and say, what if I

396
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: was stayed as a dumb fire this year, I'd be

397
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: interested about Matt Campbell. I have notes for everything we

398
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: do tonight except one. I just put a great big

399
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: X with a circle under this topic. I have no

400
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: interest in talking about it. A lot of you have

401
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: taken liberties with me, knowing my allegiance to a program

402
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: whose color scheme mirrors that of Hulkogan and whose mascot

403
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: is a tornado, knowing full well my second passion in

404
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: life is storm chasing, and so it has brought a

405
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: lot of you great joy to sort of drop the

406
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: figurative elbow on me because Iowa State may be caught

407
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: up in a little bit of an illegal gambling scandal

408
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: whoms to a mongst us hasn't been there right. Well,

409
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: if they fall off a cliff this year, what will

410
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 1: I do. I'll ignore it completely, That's what I'll do.

411
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: But also let me remind you of something with Matt Campbell.

412
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: Matt Campbell had a chance to get out of there,

413
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: and he didn't. Matt Campbell, I think probably prioritizes things

414
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: a little bit differently than most people. Producer Jesse asked

415
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: me earlier today, why don't you think he left? I said,

416
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: I think he likes it there. And when I tell

417
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: people that, there's this pregnant pause because they think I'm

418
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: not done talking. When I say that I'm done. I

419
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: think he likes it there. Like not everyone wants to

420
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: live on a coast. It's nice, but not everyone wants

421
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: that lifestyle. Matt Campbell just kind of likes it up there,

422
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: and he's one of us, you know, it's one of us.

423
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: So my question will be if they go four and

424
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: eight this year, it's a distinct possibility. They could be

425
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 1: they could have a disaster of a season, or they

426
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: could chock the world. I'm hoping for that. But if

427
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,239
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen, if it doesn't pan out and they

428
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 1: got Texas and at Kansas State to end of the year,

429
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: by the way, if that is with their head barely

430
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: above water, and then they miss out on Bowl eligibility,

431
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: is anyone going to really suggest that guy forgot how

432
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: to coach, or it's just Iowa State, and remember Iowa State.

433
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: What did you tell me, Jesse, He's like a couple

434
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: of games above five hundred or something like that and

435
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: is one of the best they've ever had, fifty three

436
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: winning percentage, just the second best in the history of

437
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: the program. It's Iowa State. The expectation level should not

438
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: be where it is. It's where it is because of him.

439
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: So that's what that X with a circle around it means.

440
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: Don't tread on Matt Campbell and I next up. This

441
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: has never happened before, but yet we get it all

442
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: the time. Chad said, what if a two loss team

443
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: makes the college football playoff history? That's what chad history

444
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: happens right as the curtain falls on the beloved four

445
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: team playoff era, beloved for some of us. But number two,

446
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 1: aside from history, it probably means we got chaos. Right,

447
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: if we get something we've never had before, we have

448
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: to have something that rarely happens, and that would be chaos.

449
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 1: I mean, who's the two loss team? By the way,

450
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: So here's a fun exercise. If you're driving around in

451
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: your Toyota Tacoma down there in Woodstock, Georgia today, who's

452
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: the two loss team? What conference did they come from?

453
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: Because we were trying to brack our brains earlier today

454
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: and figure out if this is possible in any conference

455
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 1: other than the SEC. Now, obviously this has a lot

456
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: to do with how the rest of the landscape pans out,

457
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: but in the Big Ten, if you just think it through,

458
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: we think the teams that are capable of doing this

459
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten are all in the same division

460
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: over there, and so they kind of play whack a

461
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: mole our favorite college football divisional game, which will be

462
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 1: no more after this year. And also you don't know

463
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: about the strength of schedule. But in the SEC, a

464
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: team like Alabama or a team like LSU. I mean,

465
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: let's says, say, like LSU loses to Florida State in

466
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: Week one and loses at Bama, but BAMA loses two

467
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: conference games. So LSU goes to Atlanta, beats Georgia. They

468
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: are eleven and two SEC champs. What happens there? It

469
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: would be fitting that that's the only two loss national

470
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: champ we've ever had LSU back in twenty two thousand

471
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: and seven and God bless two thousand and seven. By

472
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: the way, maybe it'll be LSU. I don't know. I

473
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: think it's unlikely, but who can do it? I think

474
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: the SEC would be the conference that has to come from.

475
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: Now you know me. I think it could be a

476
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: car wreck out there figuratively speaking, in the Pac twelve,

477
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: and we could have a bunch of good teams with

478
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: two losses. I don't think the committee would see it

479
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: that way. Lastly, this would both warm my heart and

480
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 1: crush me. Jorge or as they would call him where

481
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 1: I'm from, GEORGI said, what if Texas Tech wins the

482
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: Big Twelve. Well, here's what would happen. First things first,

483
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: it would be wonderful for the program, go Red Raiders

484
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: and tick or Tape parade and all that be a

485
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: great story. However, if Texas Tech wins the Big Twelve,

486
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 1: it would be a little bittersweet for some of us

487
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: because the Joey McGuire secret would be out, and you'd

488
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: watch a lot of the casual national media who don't

489
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: know a thing about it, probably couldn't even spell his

490
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: last name correctly, all of a sudden act like they've

491
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: discovered Joey McGuire. It's no different than when you watch

492
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft and some draft expert who you know,

493
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: started watching college prospects you've watched for years about three

494
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: months before the draft. All of a sudden starts acting

495
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: like they discovered some edge rusher out of Alabama, some

496
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: defensive back out of Ohio State, And you're like, I

497
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: was watching this kid as a sophomore in high school

498
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: in Mansfield, Ohio. What are you talking about under the radar?

499
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: You've got him mocked late first round. He's not under

500
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: anyone's radar. He was three times All Big Ten. That's

501
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: what it'll be like with Joey McGuire, and a bunch

502
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 1: of people will run national stories on did you know

503
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: this about Did you know that about Joe mcgarth. Yeah, yeah,

504
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: we've known it. Actually, where have you been? By the way,

505
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: it says college football writer in your bio? Why are

506
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 1: you acting like you just discovered this guy? So I

507
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: am preemptively preparing myself for when Joey McGuire and Texas

508
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: Deck eventually do pull this off. It's like back in

509
00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: you know what, Let me use a reference to the

510
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: rest of the country. Will understand. We had Smitty's Boiled

511
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: Peanuts and Columbus Georgia when I was growing up right

512
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: there at the railroad crossing on Double Church's Road. And

513
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: the thing about Smitty was he didn't have to market

514
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: at all. He was like waffle House. He had a

515
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: zero dollars zero cents marketing budget. Word of mouth around

516
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: Columbus is how smitty moved boiled peanuts. And then word

517
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: about Smitty's got out, and it got out to the

518
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: Green Island Hills folks, and so they started. They probably

519
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: sent a proxy over because folks in Green Island Hills

520
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: can't be seen by in boil of pea nuts. But

521
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: they sent him over. And then all of a sudden,

522
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: Smitty's blows up and he has like franchises all over town.

523
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: And it was still great, but you didn't get the

524
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: authentic Smitty's experience. He had his own customized truck that

525
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: I think was a relic from the World War II era. Oh,

526
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: it was great. I doubt he ever washed the pot.

527
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: It was wonderful. So the best seasoning, by the way,

528
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: comes from the unwashed pot of boiled peanuts. Well, Joey maguire, Smitty's.

529
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to tell you Again. I use

530
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: references that are understood from Seattle to Miami, LA to

531
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: New York and everywhere in between. Hey, side note, if

532
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: they do win the Big Twelve, do they go to

533
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: the Playoff. Are your children ready to live in a

534
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: world where Texas Tech is in the college football Playoff?

535
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: I said it that way because I know that will

536
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: end up in a hype video out there, or I

537
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: hope it does, because I can promise you we're the

538
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: only ones that are ever going to say that, even

539
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: if I say it in jest, if they make the playoff,

540
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: you will never hear me admit that I was joking

541
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: about that. I'm not joking about this either. Academy Sports

542

556
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 1: and Outdoors. And let me tell you something else. It

557
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: is a statistical fact that one percent of our audience

558
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 1: has Internet. You couldn't watch the show without it. And

559

Speaker 1: they've got Academy dot Com ready for you. If you

560
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: can't find one of their stores in person. More stores

561
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: popping up this fall. I've got the list. It would

562
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: be a felony for me to reveal it to you

563
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: right now. I think that's what they said, but trust me,

564
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: more stores are going to pop up this fall. In

565
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: the meantime, make sure you give our folks at Academy

566
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: a visit, either in person or online. Academy dot Com

567
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: appreciate you guys watching live. If you are, don't do

568
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: anything except click the thumbs up button and subscribe to

569
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: the channel if you haven't already. That's it. Otherwise, stick around.

570
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: You got a lot still to get to. I got

571
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: folks hating in Texas. I got folks thinking Mario Christabau's

572
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: in over his head. I got what IFFs I already did.

573
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: What if I got bold predictions. So we got a

574
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: lot still to get to. Somehow we'll get through it

575
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: in like thirty minutes. Though. So our buddy, our buddy,

576
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: Big Game Boomer hit us up from Roswell, Georgia. He said,

577
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: why is everyone falling for the Texas hype? Again? It's

578
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: ridiculous And as you can clearly tell, Big Game Boomer

579
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: has no bias in the Texas sphere. Texas is just

580
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: any other program to Big Game Boomer, who's falling for

581
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: the Texas hype. I have not given my predictions yet, Jesse, right,

582
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: I have not given my Big twelve predictions yet. I

583
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: think it's pretty obvious. When I make quinn Ewers a

584
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: second team Pate State All American and I make Xavier

585
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: Worthy my dark horse for the Heisman, it's pretty obvious

586
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: I'm high on him. How high on them? Am? I? Though? TBD?

587
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: Texas can't be back though, right? That's what I keep

588
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: getting told. Yeah, they can be back. They can be.

589
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: They just haven't been, haven't and can't. What have we

590
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: talked about? I know you're getting tired of me saying that,

591
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: so I hate to do it, but sometimes you guys

592
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: make me do it, and so I got to use

593
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: the Dante's peak approach here. Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton

594
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: taught me everything I need to know about Texas. Okay,

595
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: a lot of you have watched them be dormant for years,

596
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: just like they watched that volcano. And you're saying Texas

597
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: can't be back, and those townspeople innocent though they may

598
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: have been, or sitting there telling Pierce Brosman, this mountain

599
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: can't harm us, and Pierce brosn is like, no, the

600
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: town water supply has gone to crap. People are boiling

601
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: to death in this lake. The animals are acting weird.

602
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: All the signs are there. This mountain's gonna erupt. No,

603
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: you're just a geologist. I've lived here all my life.

604
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: They're gone, and a lot of you are out in

605
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: Texas right now, and I just want to warn you.

606
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: The signs are there. I know it's been dormant out there,

607
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: but that is a very very active volcano metaphorically speaking,

608
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: of course, and when it goes boom, it's gonna go boom.

609
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: I've explained to you what it will be like for you,

610
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: who may be seventeen years old and you've never experienced Texas.

611
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: Being back. I've told you what it's gonna be like.

612
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: I hope I prepared you at least to that degree.

613
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: But they were five and seven sarks first year. They're

614
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,959
Speaker 1: eight and five is second year. Here's why I believe

615
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,959
Speaker 1: in them. You can choose to believe whatever you want to.

616
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: You can either be the frog and the pot of

617
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: slowly warming up water that boils to death, or you

618
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: can listen to geologists JP here, I'm trying to help you.

619
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: They have recruited top five classes back to back cycles.

620
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: They have done what they hadn't done before. Okay, the

621
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: more casual minded out there are gonna tell you who

622
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: cares if they've recruited top five. They always had talent.

623
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: We've addressed that. We have beaten that to death like

624
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: a pinata on this show. They had the ornaments, they

625
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: didn't have the tree. We're sticking with that metaphor because

626
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: it works. It's focus grouped pretty well. Yeah, so we're

627
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: gonna keep that. They didn't have the line of scrimmage

628
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: talent they needed. It's a lie. It wasn't being developed.

629
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: A lot of it was even recruited. It's a lie.

630
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: They have not recruited like they have the past two cycles.

631
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: In a long time. They have not developed, They have

632
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: not acquired the line of scrimmage talent for obvious reasons.

633
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: They haven't brought in guys like ad Mitchell via the portal,

634
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: or Isaiah and nay Or via the portal. They're doing

635
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: that now. This is a legitimately loaded roster and it's

636
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: only going to get loaded. Or write that down, it's

637
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: only going to get more and more loaded. Nil. They're

638
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: clicking on every single cylinder imaginable out there, which you

639
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: knew they would do. And so there are things there

640
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: that they haven't had. There are pieces in place that

641
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: haven't been in place. And by the way, I want

642
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: you guys to go back in time, and I want

643
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: you to find me how many times I've predicted Texas

644
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: to go to the playoff or whatever it is you're

645
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: counting as being back. I hadn't done it a single time.

646
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: So whenever folks come at me and say, oh, we

647
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: do this all the time, No we don't. They may.

648
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: I can't control what they do, but I'm telling you

649
00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: I may very well pick that team to go to

650
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: the playof this year. If I do, it'll be the first

651
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: time and I may because there are signs that I

652
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: hadn't seen around Texas in a long time that are

653
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: there wide receivers the best Sarks have, at least in

654
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: this time at Texas offensive line, defensive line. I've got

655
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: what I need there running back, even losing guys like

656
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: Rochean and Bejeon plenty good enough secondary, You're not having

657
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: to convert wide receivers there anymore. They portaled Catalan in

658
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: and they've got good players back there. Elsewhere they're better.

659
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: They're good enough to do it this year. So that's

660
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: why I have participated in the Texas hype. Now. Last year,

661
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: you know, I was hating on the computer earlier day.

662
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: Last year. Famously, the Model thought that Texas could beat

663
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Like the Model thought if you put Texas

664
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: in the NFC South that be a legit ten and six,

665
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: nine and seven caliber contender. The Model was a little

666
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: drunk on Texas last year. I don't even know what

667
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: the Model says about Texas this year, but I'm telling you,

668
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: if it says the same thing again, I may go

669
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: so from chastising the model to high fiving the model

670
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: as much as you can high five a laptop Texas

671
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: hype is kind of real this year. I don't even

672
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: know if it's hype, it just is. And if you

673
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: want one more sign, I've never had Sark on the show.

674
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: We had him on last week, and I think that

675
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: tells you a lot about how I feel about Texas

676
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: because we have not really wasted our time bringing subpar

677
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 1: coaches on the show recently, have we or coaches that

678
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 1: are leading subpar teams next up. I'm speaking now as

679
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: if we control the future of the sport, and people

680
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: who were already calling us a condescending show in that

681
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: Reddit thread will just love where the direction I took

682
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: the show a second ago. Let's stay out there in

683
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 1: the interest of giving equal time, Let's stay out there.

684
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: I want to predict a record right now. I want

685
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: to tell you what I think Oklahoma's going to do

686
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: this year, but I also want to tell you how

687
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: bad I think it could be, how perfect I think

688
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: it could be if everything goes right, and the most

689
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,959
Speaker 1: likely record scenario. They were six and seven last year

690
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: out there in Norman wild roster urn that I have

691
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: admitted I probably didn't take seriously enough. They had quarterback injury,

692
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: they got beaten to death by Texas forty nine to nothing.

693
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: Brent Venables was a guy who had never been head

694
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: coach before and hopped on a bus going about seventy

695
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: or eighty miles an hour, and it just was what

696
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: it was. I don't know what else tell you. It

697
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: was what it was. They made a bowl game, they

698
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: lost a bowl game. I remember we were sitting in

699
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: this studio watching it on a monitor. So year one

700
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: was the definition of it was what it was. Well,

701
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: let's just turn the page, Bob Seekers style. What is

702
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: the absolute best that it could be for Oklahoma this year? Now,

703
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: if you're unfamiliar with this game, this is where you

704
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: set realistic expectations to the side for just a second,

705
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: and we ask ourselves, if the literal best case happened,

706
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: if every domino and tumbler fell into plays, every needle

707
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: was threaded, what's the best we could do this year?

708
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 1: I think eleven and one is the absolute best the

709
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: best case scenarios for Oklahoma this year. Now that has

710
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: to do with schedule combined with drastic roster improvement. But

711
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: I want to get to the schedule first. This is

712
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: not to be overlooked. I've pointed this out to you

713
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: a few times, but I really want to get vivid,

714
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 1: even if you're listening on podcasts, I want to get

715
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: vivid with this for just a second. So I'm gonna

716
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: read you Oklahoma schedule, but I'm not giving you the

717
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: teams they're playing. I'm giving you the preseason over underwin totals.

718
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 1: So here's what Vegas thinks about the teams on Oklahoma schedule.

719
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: Listen to these numbers, four and a half, eight and

720
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: a half. And it should be noted that eight and

721
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: a half is SMU, so that's a G five eight

722
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: and a half, not a P five eight and a half.

723
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: So let me start over four and a half, eight

724
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: and a half, four and a half, five and a half.

725
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: Iowa States off the board, it would probably be in

726
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: the four and a half to five range. Texas nine

727
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: and a half by ten miles, that's the best team

728
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 1: they play all year. Six and a half, six and

729
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 1: a half, six and a half, five and a half,

730
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: four and a half, seven and a half. This is

731
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: the lightest LOWD of any conference lift in the Big Twelve,

732
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: and the only other argument could be Oklahoma State. Somehow,

733
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: the governor pulled every string imaginable in that state and

734
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: set both of the in state teams up. But you

735
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: still got to win the games. So you don't play

736
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: Kansas State, you don't play Baylor, you don't play Texas Tech.

737
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: Still gott to have things come together. Still gotta have

738
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 1: that left side of that offensive line, that defensive line,

739
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: it's got to be a lot better. So everything about

740
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: the defense has got to be a lot better. But

741
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,479
Speaker 1: in this scenario, it all is. In this scenario, everything

742
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: that was wrong last year, a lot of close losses,

743
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 1: by the way, except for the Texas game. Everything that

744
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 1: was wrong last year gets righted. So eleven and one, yes,

745
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: it's there. Even the oddsmakers in Vegas made their over

746
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 1: under win total nine and a half, so they expect

747
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: a big bounce back this year too. But you know

748
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: that guy Brenton Venables has been a head coach one

749
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: year and it was a disastrous first year. So it's

750
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: reasonable to have doubts in your mind. And that's where

751
00:37:55,560 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: the worst case record scenario comes in gets a little tough.

752
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,959
Speaker 1: The worst case for Oklahoma this year would be six

753
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: and six. That's a huge gap, admittedly, eleven and one

754
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: to six and six, but that's just because as mem

755
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: used to always tell me August fields don't always lead

756
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: to December yields. You can feel any which way you

757
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 1: want to about Oklahoma right now. You could have thoroughly

758
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 1: convinced yourself if you live in Lawton, Oklahoma, for example,

759
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: or Enid or Broken Arrow or Wakita, where Aunt Meg

760
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: famously resided in the movie Twister, robbed of multiple Academy Awards,

761
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: if you live out there, I know how it works, guys.

762
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: I do it with Peyton State every year. You could

763
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: convince yourself that everything's good to go. Everything's been cleaned up.

764
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: Every guy lost thirty pounds of fat and put on

765
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 1: thirty pounds of muscle simultaneous. Somehow that happened, and the

766
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,280
Speaker 1: team's never been closer. You know what the practice reports

767
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: look like, so you can convince yourself of that. But

768
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: that's August. They don't keep records in August. You know,

769
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: once you get out on the open road, if you

770
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 1: got a wobbly we can't go back to August again.

771
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: We just got to ride this thing out. If the

772
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: defense isn't fixed, that's a really wobbly tire. If they

773
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: aren't markedly improved, just as a roster just as a

774
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: team as a collective. If they haven't elevated above the

775
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: Baylors or the TCUs or the Texas Techs, which you're

776
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: hoping they have, then every one of those games is

777
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: in play. And by the way, if it is too

778
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: competitive in those games, you're not winning all those close games,

779
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: or if you are, no one could predict that, so

780
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: you it probably at the very least have a bunch

781
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: of one possession either way. Bob games, bounce of ball games.

782
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: If you just come up on the short end of

783
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 1: those sticks more times and not six and six is

784
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: not out of the realm of possibility. But that's not

785
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: fun to talk about. Here's what is at least palatable.

786
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: What is going to happen. What's the most likely record

787
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 1: scenario for Oklahoma. I'd say it's nine to three, and

788
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 1: that's a blend of both worlds. Obviously, I think there

789
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: will be major improvement on the team. I highly doubt

790
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: we watched them in week one, two and three and

791
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: say I don't see much difference from last year. However,

792
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty realistic to still expect some wobbly

793
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: parts to the overall Oklahoma bus. And that's to be

794
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: expected for a number of reasons, but most importantly, Brent

795
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: Vennables is less than twenty four months into being a

796
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: head coach, and this is Oklahoma. It's a big time program.

797
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: It's a massive, massive step up in competition and responsibility.

798
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: There's a lot of reason for excitement, and I think

799
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:27,879
Speaker 1: come seasons end, if they're sitting at nine and three,

800
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: you've got immensely more reason for excitement and expectation. But

801
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: you also you're not out of the woods of growing

802
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: pains yet, at least. I don't think it would be

803
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: realistic to say that's the most likely scenario. So hey,

804
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: best case exists for a reason. But ma'am, I think

805
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: that over under nine and a half is about right,

806
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 1: and I would lean ever so slightly to the under.

807
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: It's just because I know how life in this sport works.

808
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: All right, Let's roll it on here, got to keep

809
00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:00,040
Speaker 1: a nice, steady pace. I like where we are, so

810
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: appreciate you guys being tuned in live Tuesday night shows

811
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: are still pretty new in being back. We've only had

812
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: him back for a couple of weeks, but the real

813
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: ones no, okay, so I knew we weren't going to

814
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: get too deep into fall camp before we got a

815
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,959
Speaker 1: question like this, And frankly, I'm surprised it took this long.

816
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: Alan hit us up from Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He said,

817
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: is Mario Christabaul just in over his head? It seems

818
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: to me like Phil Knight secured those recruiting classes while

819
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,760
Speaker 1: he was at Oregon, And now with John Ruiz's troubles,

820
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: can we expect him to compete with the rest of

821
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: the state. So, for ninety eight percent of you who

822
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: don't keep up with the South Florida financial scene, John

823
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: Ruiz is a guy who's been heavily involved in the

824
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: Miami nil scene. He's a self made billionaire Google it,

825
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: and so he's been in the news recently and there's

826
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that it's kind of nebulous as

827
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,760
Speaker 1: to what the reality of it is and what speculation anyway,

828
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: So the perception was, uh, oh, Miami's angel, billionaire investors

829
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: in trouble. Now, their pocketbooks are going to dry up.

830
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: That's not happening. Let me go ahead and tell you

831
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: that right off the top, that's not happening. But let

832
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: me dive into this for just a second. I know

833
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: that also anytime we talk about Miami. Cause we've had

834
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,760
Speaker 1: Mario on the show like ten times and he basically

835
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: let us sleep at his house when we were down

836
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: there a couple of months ago. You don't think I'll

837
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 1: criticize him, Well, watch this, kids. His offensive coordinator hires

838
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: sucked last year. They know it. He knows it. I

839
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: know it. Everyone who watched Miami football knows it. And

840
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: so that was a one and done thing. Kevin Steele

841
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 1: was the defensive coordinator. He was a one and done.

842
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: Think about what that does if you're a new hire.

843
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: So it's already going to be uphill, and you already

844
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: have the rebuild or the overhaul or you know whatever

845
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: kind of program you inherit and you got to put

846
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 1: your spin on it. You've already got all that. Even

847
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 1: if your staff is nothing but great a hires. Well,

848
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: what if you whiff on one or both coordinator hires?

849
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 1: That just sets you back even further. Now, I know

850
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 1: no one wants to listen to me. Say, year two

851
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: may also be a struggle down there. I don't think

852
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: it'll be as bad as last year, but I'm just saying,

853
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 1: if you turn their games on this year and they

854
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: go seven and five, that's an improvement. It's not what

855
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: you want. Eight and four is not even what you want.

856
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: It's an improvement. I don't think people are ready to

857
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 1: consider that, though. You want to go from what they

858
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: were last year to flirting with nine or ten wins,

859
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: and maybe that does happen. It always comes down to

860
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: the one possession games, obviously in quarterback health, but that's

861
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 1: not something that just needs to be overlooked. Now. The

862
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: question was is he in over his head? No, I

863
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 1: don't think he's in over his head. In over his

864
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,439
Speaker 1: head means he's incapable of doing the job. I don't

865
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: think he's incapable of it at all. Quite the opposite.

866
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: I think in time you'll look at Mario down there

867
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: and say, that's the exact dude they needed. It just

868
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: doesn't always happen in twelve or twenty four months. That's

869
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,720
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to explain. If you live in Tallahassee, Florida,

870
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: you know that. If you live in Austin, Texas, you

871
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: know that, Hey, it didn't happen for Kirby Overnight in Athens.

872
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: You understand that Nichols State should have beaten Georgia in

873
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: year one, right, no, you don't, because no one remembers that.

874
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: Yet Nichols pushed him to the wire in Athens, GA.

875
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: So yet Duke ran roughshot over Miami last year, Middle

876
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 1: Tennessee splattered them in hard Rock Stadium. It happened. It

877
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: is what it is. Doesn't mean you're in over your

878
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: head necessarily. It just means you were cooking with the

879
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: wrong ingredients last year. Now, as much as you can

880
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: criticize a cook for having the wrong ingredients in the kitchen,

881
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: you gotta credit them, no matter how much money they

882
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: spent on set ingredients, if they're willing to toss them

883
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: in the trash when it's still three quarters of the

884
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 1: way full. Dabbo just had to do that with his OC.

885
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: Mario had to do it with one coordinator at least

886
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: the other one got hired by Bama. So I don't

887
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: think he's on over his head. But I want to

888
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,919
Speaker 1: address this other part too, Colin. In fact, I don't

889
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: normally ask you to do this. Apologies in advance. Can

890
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: you put the question back up for a second. So

891
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:53,839
Speaker 1: I wanted to go back to this one part. It

892
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: was kind of it was very very cleverly woven into

893
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,439
Speaker 1: the question so Alan asked, if he's in over his head.

894
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 1: It seems to me, Alan asks, He says, it seems

895
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: to me Phil Knight secured those recruiting classes while Mario

896
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 1: was at Oregon. Now the allegation here is Phil Knight,

897
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 1: mister Nike. He got all those players, He went and

898
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 1: bought all those players from Mario. He built those immaculate facilities,

899
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: and Mario just benefited from them. Mario did benefit from him,

900
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: as has every other head coach at Oregon. So that's

901
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: part of taking the job up there. You'd be stupid

902
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: not to leverage that. However, I would ask you this,

903
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: Phil Knight has been at Oregon since Color TV basically,

904
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,959
Speaker 1: And so I want to read you a list here.

905
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: The list sounds like this. Nineteen twenty seven, sixteen twenty one, nineteen.

906
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: Those were the recruiting rankings of the Mark Helfrich and

907
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: Willie Taggart recruiting classes at Oregon. Best I can tell,

908
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: Phil Knight was around when they were up there too.

909
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: Why didn't they always recruit like that? If it's easy

910
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: as Phil going to get players, if Phil lose interest

911
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,399
Speaker 1: in organ athletics for a little while, you know better

912
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 1: than that. If you watch this show, at least you

913
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: know better than that, So I would not really yield

914
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: much time to that portion that allegation, if you will.

915
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,280
Speaker 1: But this other thing about him being in over his head,

916
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: the thing about the Ruiz issues, I've done some digging

917
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,320
Speaker 1: on that. I think it's a much bigger concern outside

918
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 1: Miami than inside Miami. I know why, because if I'm

919
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: a Florida fan, I love this stuff. If I'm an

920
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 1: FSU fan, if I'm a Clemson fan, if I just

921
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 1: hate Miami, I love this stuff because I think they

922
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: got a billionaire down there buying players for him. And

923
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: if that billionaire looks like he's in trouble and that

924
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: money dries up and they can't get players head to

925
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: head with us anymore, that is tantalizing as a thought

926
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: to me. I don't think that's quite what's happening, but

927
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 1: I understand why people want to feel that way. But

928
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: here's the good news. Results will happen. You don't have

929
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: to take my word for it or anyone else's word

930
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 1: for it. You will see recruiting classes pan out, how

931
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 1: they pan out. We'll see this year and next year,

932
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 1: next year pan out how it pans out. My simple

933
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: response is I think the Ruiz stuff is a little

934
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: overblown as it relates to impacting Miami. I don't know

935
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 1: about him, but I'm saying I don't think it's gonna

936
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: be like a torpedo to the side of Miami football.

937
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,720
Speaker 1: I don't think Mario's in over his head and I

938
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: think that in time they'll be fine. But they did

939
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: not have a clean takeoff last year, and part of

940
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: that's on Mario Christobal, so I don't think. Look, man,

941
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm telling you anything he wouldn't tell

942
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: you. You may need to get him off the record, but

943
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm telling you anything he wouldn't tell you,

944
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: and so interesting program to watch. That's all I have

945
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 1: to say about that. In the words of Forrest Coump.

946
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,839
Speaker 1: Next up, I need to tell you as soon as

947
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: I ripped this posted off the paper and pop it

948
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 1: for good measure, they're watching us in bridge Port, Ohio,

949
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 1: Rock Chapel, Georgia. Hand to heart, I have no clue

950
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: where Rock Chapel is and I grew up in Georgia,

951
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: but thank you guys for watching, and Gilbert Arizona, thank

952
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: you so so so much. We got all two's across

953
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: the board, two and twenty two tune in live. You know,

954
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 1: I was explaining to one of my dear friends the

955
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:10,760
Speaker 1: other day. They said, Hey, it's you know, it's great

956
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,240
Speaker 1: that thirty three hundred people are watching the live show.

957
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: But I thought you told me like hundreds of thousands

958
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: to millions of people watching listen to this show every week. Well,

959
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: it only looks like three or four thousand are watching. No, no, no,

960
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 1: that's all. It's watching live on the YouTube stream. A

961
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: very very small sliver of our viewership and audience traffic

962
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,879
Speaker 1: PIE comes from live viewership. However, the folks who watch

963
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 1: the show live are some of my favorite people on

964
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,839
Speaker 1: this earth. And I'm like, direct to Colin, I don't

965
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: like a whole lot of people. So you guys are

966
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 1: in rarefied air, so much so that I'd make sure

967
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm watching live next week because there may be some

968
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 1: free stuff being given away in this chat. That's as

969
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 1: much as I'm at liberty to reveal. Right now, hey,

970
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 1: it's time for Peate State All Americans Defensive Edition. Let's

971
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: name some All Americans this year. Now, we don't go

972
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 1: about it necessarily like the AP does they do their

973
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: own thing. I care about what I think you're gonna

974
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 1: do this year. So I don't care if you had

975
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 1: monster stats last year. If I think you're gonna blow

976
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 1: up this year, you're an All American in my book.

977
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 1: So first up defensive line got to go with Jared

978
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 1: Vers down at Florida State. First had first round potential

979
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:19,879
Speaker 1: last year. Guys that could have gone to the draft.

980
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 1: Last year he came back. It was a really big

981
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: deal around Tallahassee and around college football. Jordan Travis, you

982
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:27,839
Speaker 1: know him. Coming back at quarterback was another big deal.

983
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: All the tools to dominate. You pretty well know Jared Verse.

984
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 1: I don't have to tell you a lot about him.

985
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: Tyler Davis up at Clemson also first round defensive lineman

986
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 1: on the Pate State preseason All American team. He's been

987
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: three times All ACC he was an All American last year.

988
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: Thirty nine starts a quintessential piece of what you would

989
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: expect along the Clemson front. J T tuamoloau at Ohio

990
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 1: State has shown flashes. He took over the Penn State game.

991
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,959
Speaker 1: I mean as dominant a defensive performance you've probably seen

992
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: in a long time. But that wasn't consistent across the board.

993
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: He's one of the guys I'm talking about this year. Actually,

994
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 1: when I say, hey, Ohio State doesn't have an elite quarterback.

995
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: They don't have CJ. Shroud, I wonder if there's some

996
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 1: guys on that team that understand that means they have

997
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: to up their level of play consistently for them to

998
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: be eleven and one or twelve and zero. That guy

999
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: right there is capable of being the best player in

1000
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: college football. I'm not kidding you. That's what kind of

1001
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,959
Speaker 1: talent he has. If it's put together over the course

1002
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 1: of twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen games, that guy, well, he's

1003
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: gonna make himself a millionaire either way. But he can

1004
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 1: make Ohio State and national champion in the process. And

1005
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 1: Mikel Williams down at Georgia by way of Hardaway High

1006
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: School in Columbus, Georgia, I think that he will explode

1007
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: on national radars this year. He is not a guy

1008
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: who has monster numbers because he has not been featured

1009
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: at Georgia yet. He will be featured this year. Chop

1010
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 1: Robinson up at Penn State defensive lineman. These are the

1011
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: kinds of guys that you need to model your life

1012
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: and your caliber of playoff or if you want to

1013
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 1: be a Pate State defensive All American. Let's go to

1014
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:06,359
Speaker 1: the linebacker position so I can talk to you about

1015
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 1: the best defensive player in the SEC. His name is

1016
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: I believe at least Harold Perkins down at LSU first

1017
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: team All SEC is a true freshman. Look, I've had

1018
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: three coaches to me that's the best defensive player in

1019
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: the SEC. And you've got a grand total of one

1020
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:24,359
Speaker 1: year of him playing football at eighteen years old. It's ridiculous.

1021
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: Just like took over games last year. You had to

1022
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:30,800
Speaker 1: account for him every play. If you're an offensive coordinator

1023
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 1: and he's a true freshman sideline, the sideline ultra physical,

1024
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: plugs the gap, plays the run, plays the past, does

1025
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: everything you would want him to do. Jaman Dumas Johnson

1026
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: at Georgia also a First team All American at linebacker

1027
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,439
Speaker 1: for Peate State. He led Georgia and tackles for loss

1028
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 1: last year, and he started all fifteen games for Kirby Smart.

1029
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: I mentioned Kirby Smart the same way I would mention Saban.

1030
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: If they trust you that much defensively, it means something

1031
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:58,879
Speaker 1: to me. A lot of times, they've just found guys

1032
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 1: who were dependable. Most of the time. They found guys

1033
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:04,800
Speaker 1: who were dependable and also total freak athletes. And Dumas

1034
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 1: Johnson is both number three. There's no particular order here,

1035
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 1: but the third player I'm talking about Dallas Turner at Alabama.

1036
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,240
Speaker 1: I think I've told the story a couple of times,

1037
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you once more. I remember back when

1038
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 1: we were coming into last year and Will Anderson had

1039
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: all the preseason accolades, and I had an offensive coach

1040
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: reach out and say, Will Anderson, maybe everyone's preseason All American.

1041
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 1: He's the second best defensive player Savans got. Dallas Turner's

1042
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:32,319
Speaker 1: the best, and Dallas Turner is going to be the

1043
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: focal point of Bama's edge rush this year. They've got

1044
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 1: half a dozen former five star guys in that room.

1045
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: Dallas Turner's the best among them. Number fifteen there, and

1046
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: I think that he's probably already on a lot of

1047
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:50,399
Speaker 1: national radars. He's got game takeover potential too. Abdul Carter

1048
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 1: at Penn State big numbers last year, not so much.

1049
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,359
Speaker 1: He had big numbers as a spot starter. He didn't

1050
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 1: start every game last year. This is a guy who

1051
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: would not be on a lot of people's first team

1052
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,279
Speaker 1: because a lot of people do the double dip. You know,

1053
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: they do the postseason All American Team, but then they

1054
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 1: also judged the preseason All American Team off last year's numbers,

1055
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 1: which makes no sense to me. I think Abdul Carter

1056
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 1: is going to be a freak alien like player this

1057
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: year at linebacker for Penn State. He's got a chance

1058
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 1: to take over games. Everyone on the first team has

1059
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 1: a chance to take over games. So I love all

1060
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,399
Speaker 1: those guys at corner. Got to go right back down

1061
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,919
Speaker 1: to Tuscaloosa. I think kool Aid McKinstry is the best

1062
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:35,359
Speaker 1: cornerback in college football. He was second in FBS as

1063
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:38,319
Speaker 1: a returner last year also, And that gets us into

1064
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 1: that really fun debate where I get someone walks in

1065
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:44,319
Speaker 1: and says, hmm, I don't think you should play your

1066
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: starters on special teams. That same person says, well, it's

1067
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 1: about offense defensive special teams. You know, like there are

1068
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,839
Speaker 1: equal thirds of a football game, which I believe, by

1069
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,399
Speaker 1: the way, But then that same person will devalue one

1070
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 1: of those thirds by saying, let's not play starters on

1071
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,839
Speaker 1: special teams. No game's ever been lost on special teams,

1072
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 1: you know, So anyway, go say it to Nick Saban,

1073
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: ask him what he thinks about playing starters on special teams.

1074
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: You don't even see kool aid a ton in Bama

1075
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 1: games because most folks don't even throw at him, but

1076
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: when they do, it usually turns out well for Bama.

1077
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: Kaylan King up at Penn State. They did throw at

1078
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 1: him a lot last year, but it also didn't go well.

1079
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: He was number one in Big Ten and passes defended

1080
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: last year. He was an All American. He was All

1081
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 1: Big Ten. He has been dominant in fall camp. They

1082
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: don't throw the ball to his side of the field

1083
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:34,319
Speaker 1: very often. And like I said, he and Coolater are

1084
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 1: the kinds of guys that if they played in the

1085
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,319
Speaker 1: NFL right now, they'd be able to hold their own

1086
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL. They'll be there next year. So Kayln

1087
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: King's another one. Will Johnson at Michigan is a first

1088
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,719
Speaker 1: team Peate State All American. And this is going to

1089
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 1: get some pushback because Will Johnson didn't have monster numbers

1090
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 1: last year. I would encourage you to go watch the

1091
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: Ohio State game. He did have monster numbers in that one.

1092
00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: He was a freshman All American. He appeared in all

1093
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 1: fourteen games last year. The stats in twenty twenty two

1094
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 1: don't scream preseason All American. I think his stats this

1095
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: year will warrant or validate rather him being a preseason

1096
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,319
Speaker 1: All American. And that's all I care about. So love

1097
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:16,280
Speaker 1: Kool aib Kaylen King, Will Johnson. Those are my corners.

1098
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 1: But that's not all the secondary is made of, is it.

1099
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:23,280
Speaker 1: Let's go back to safety for just a second. Malachi

1100
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,320
Speaker 1: Starks this time last year was the talk of Georgia's

1101
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,359
Speaker 1: fall camp. He's a true freshman at the time. And

1102
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: I didn't tell you this. So Starks was so good

1103
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 1: in fall camp last year. I forgot to tell you

1104
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 1: this story until just now. Malachi Starks was so good

1105
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:42,400
Speaker 1: in fall camp. They were actively trying to suppress information

1106
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: about him, Like Kirby didn't want information about twenty four

1107
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,839
Speaker 1: they're out. They didn't want folks to know how good

1108
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,359
Speaker 1: he was. Well, then the Oregon game happened that right there,

1109
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 1: if you're watching on YouTube, that is his first college

1110
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: football game. An amazing player, amazing player. So he's a

1111
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 1: preseason All American for me this year led and pass breakups.

1112
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 1: He his first team All SEC, started all fourteen games.

1113
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: Let's go to Miami because Cam Kitchens is another one

1114
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 1: on the first team for me. He was an All

1115
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: American last year. He led Miami in tackles with fifty

1116
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:15,160
Speaker 1: nine of them. He will be a national name this year.

1117
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 1: His play is already at that level. I think because

1118
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 1: Miami was bad, people didn't pay much attention to him.

1119
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 1: Cam Kitchens is absolutely peate State All American material. Now

1120
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 1: let me tell you what I almost did, but I am.

1121
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: It takes a brave man to do this, and I

1122
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:34,840
Speaker 1: was not that brave man tonight. I regretted not putting

1123
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 1: Malachi Starks on my preseason All American team last year,

1124
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 1: even though he'd never played a college football game. And

1125
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:43,760
Speaker 1: I almost put Caleb Downs on my preseason All American

1126
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 1: team this year because he is basically Malachi Starks just

1127
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 1: over at Alabama. The way they're talking about him over

1128
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 1: at Alabama really sounds like the way they talked about

1129
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 1: Starks this past year. I didn't do it again. I

1130
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 1: didn't put a true freshman on the All American team.

1131
00:56:58,080 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 1: I already know I'm going to get claims of Homer

1132
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 1: as for too many sec guys on this list, but

1133
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 1: I almost did it. And the reason I'm telling you

1134
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 1: that is because if he balls out this year, I

1135
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 1: want all the credit with none of the blame if

1136
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 1: he only starts half a dozen games. Let's move on

1137
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 1: and let's wrap up with bold predictions. Bold predictions are

1138
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: something we do on this show because I want you

1139
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 1: to have the platform to espouse all of these beliefs

1140
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: you have so fervently that you claim you would bet

1141
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 1: your own money on them. First up, try this one

1142
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:32,919
Speaker 1: on for size. Derek from Tampa, Florida says, despite your

1143
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 1: venom towards the Gator fans and love for the Hurricanes,

1144
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: Florida will have more wins than Miami. First thing I

1145
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: want to say to you, Derek, is I love you

1146
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 1: and go Gators. The next thing I want to say

1147
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 1: to you is I don't think this is going to happen.

1148
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 1: So eight point seventy five is what I pegged this

1149
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 1: on the boldness scale. Florida's preseason win totals five and

1150
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: a half Miami is seven and a half. Last year

1151
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 1: was the first time that both of these programs had

1152
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 1: a losing record since anybody nineteen seventy nine. That's just

1153
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: two years after rumors came out by Fleetwood Mac Greatest

1154
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 1: album of all time, Worst season of all time followed

1155
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,400
Speaker 1: two years later in Gainesville and corl Gables. Florida has

1156
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 1: four opponents with a preseason win total of nine and

1157
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 1: a half or higher. Miami has two. Miami has the

1158
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 1: Edgic quarterback. I think Miami will win more games than

1159
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 1: Florida this year, So I think this is wrong. However,

1160
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:32,080
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be the most shocking thing in the world

1161
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: if I was wrong and this was right. So I'm

1162
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 1: making it at eight point seventy five. Next up, and

1163
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 1: this prediction comes with its own custom post it from

1164
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 1: producer Jesse Ashton from Wichita, Kansas said Iowa will have

1165
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 1: a top five defense and win double digit games this year.

1166
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 1: Iowa has the number one defense in college football in

1167
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 1: preseason s and p Plus, so them having a top

1168
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 1: five defense wouldn't be a surprise at all. They've been

1169
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: top twenty eight years in a row. The intel we

1170
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 1: get from fall camp is they may have the best

1171
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 1: defensive line they've had in several years under Kirk Farnce.

1172
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 1: Then there's the schedule, and this is how we figure

1173
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 1: out how they win ten games. So I have right

1174
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 1: here stuck to my index finger. I have a list

1175
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 1: of the teams Iowa plays this year, and I have

1176
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 1: their offensive s and p plus numbers SNP plus for

1177
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 1: those unfamiliar. That's Bill Connelly's metrics and rating system. Very

1178
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 1: very reliable, very dependable. I think most forward thinking people

1179
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:38,880
Speaker 1: in the industry have shifted towards using that over traditional stats.

1180
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 1: So listen to this again. You can go look up

1181
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 1: Iowa's schedule anytime you want to. I want to read

1182
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 1: you the list of offenses they're going to play. One

1183
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 1: hundred and eleventh, seventy fourth, one hundred and eighteenth, twenty second,

1184
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 1: fifty sixth forty fifth, forty first, sixty third, one hundred

1185
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 1: and twenty six, fifty eight, eighty third, ninety ninth. There

1186
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 1: is one offense on their schedule in the preseason smp

1187
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 1: plus top forty offensively gross, so Iowa could very much

1188
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: just pitch shutouts this year. Iowa may need to score

1189
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 1: about thirteen points to win some of these games. They

1190
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 1: may win and cover if they score seventeen. So I'm

1191
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 1: gonna make this a seven point seventy five. The prediction

1192
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 1: was Iowa has a top five d and they win

1193
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 1: double digit games. That is not the craziest thing in

1194
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: the world, given this schedule, given the total grossness of

1195
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,320
Speaker 1: some of these offenses, and given how good they could

1196
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 1: be defensively again this year. All right, Next up, no

1197
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 1: offense to the offense is in big ten, by the way.

1198
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:47,439
Speaker 1: Next up from Virginia Beach, Virginia. That's where Holden comes

1199
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 1: to us, and he says, Washington State will upset Washington

1200
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:54,960
Speaker 1: in the Apple Cup. This is where we need licensing

1201
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 1: for Sarah McLaughlin because this will be a Sarah McLaughlin

1202
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 1: special no matter what. It is, full arms of an

1203
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:06,240
Speaker 1: angel mode. It is the last game maybe in this rivalry.

1204
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 1: I don't know they've announced they're going to renew the

1205
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 1: rivalry or anything like that. Washington State may just drift

1206
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 1: off into the Pacific. The pac twelve may drift out

1207
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 1: right along with the plate tectonics is a crazy thing

1208
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: in college football. Man, it's happening as we speak. So

1209
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 1: Washington's won seven of eight in this matchup, the last

1210
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 1: one possession game in the Apple Couples twenty twelve. How

1211
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 1: is that possible? But it is Washington State's preseason win

1212
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 1: total six and a half Washington nine and a half.

1213
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 1: The game's at Washington. Now, the one thing that Washington

1214
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 1: State does have going for it is the lead up

1215
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 1: to the game. They play Stanford at cal and Colorado

1216
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 1: on a Friday, So not only do they have some

1217
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 1: of the bottom portions of the Pac twelve barrel, they

1218
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 1: get long rest before they go play at Washington. Now, Colin,

1219
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 1: tell me, do we have Washington schedule in there, because

1220
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 1: the Huskies have a much more difficult road. They go

1221
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:08,919
Speaker 1: at usc Utah at Oregon State last three games before

1222
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 1: they play Washington State, so that's one edge. But man,

1223
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 1: you're going up there to Seattle, you're playing a much

1224
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 1: better team. I don't know what injuries have done to

1225
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 1: either one of these by that point. Also, they're replaces

1226
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 1: so much at wide out for Washington State. I made

1227
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 1: this a nine. It's so hard to see that far

1228
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:26,920
Speaker 1: out if the game were played today. I made that

1229
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:32,000
Speaker 1: a nine. Last up from Camden with a clover in

1230
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:35,520
Speaker 1: his name from Austin, Texas, Camden, said Marcus Freeman, wins

1231
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year. Well, no one's ever done this

1232
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 1: with less than ten wins. So let's just assume Notre

1233
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 1: Dame needs ten wins. Brian Kelly did this twice twice

1234
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 1: twenty twelve, twenty eighteen, so we've seen an Irish head

1235
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 1: coach do it two times in the last decade. Ish

1236
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 1: the win totals eight and a half, so it's not

1237
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 1: too far out of the realm of possibility for them

1238
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 1: to win ten games. But here's the thing. For them

1239
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 1: to ten. Maybe they pull an upset or two. Maybe

1240
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 1: they beat Ohio State at home, maybe they beat USC

1241
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 1: at home, and those the USC game may not be

1242
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 1: an upset at all by the time they play it.

1243
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 1: They go to Clemson late in the year, maybe they

1244
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: pull that one off. Maybe they wreck a couple of

1245
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 1: people's conference title in playoff dreams and also win ten

1246
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 1: games in the process. A ten and two Marcus Freeman

1247
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 1: with a big time statement win over an Ohio State

1248
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:28,240
Speaker 1: or on the road at Clemson, that may be enough

1249
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 1: to get him in there, especially if we live in

1250
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 1: a world where there's a lot of chaos out there

1251
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 1: and there's no truly dominant team, and we also don't

1252
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 1: have a TCU or a Cincinnati Cinderella team. I could

1253
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 1: see it However, it is really hard to call your

1254
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year shot in August. And so I'm

1255
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 1: gonna make this a nine. And it's normally unlikely that

1256
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:52,920
Speaker 1: I say it's a nine, but I could also see it.

1257
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 1: But this is a nine, yet I could also see it.

1258
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:57,200
Speaker 1: I see you guys watching, and I appreciate it. I

1259

1264
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:13,760
Speaker 1: We're trying to get two hundred thousand subs on this

1266
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 1: right on the fringes of being able to get it

1267
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:22,880
