1
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: All right, welcome in a Lake. Kick is Live.

2
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: It is Thursday night, November eighteenth, Dear of Our Lord,

3
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one.

4
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: There's a raging debate going on in the live chat.

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: Right now, but I got to leave it over there

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 2: because we're right here and we got a show to do,

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: and we are jam packed high Top downtown Nashville, Tennessee.

8
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: I've got so many things, so many avenues down which

9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 2: I want to take the show tonight. But the first

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 2: thing I want to do is I want to remind

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: you what Mema used to tell me all the time,

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 2: and that is, Josh, never do for five million dollars

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 2: what someone would pay you nine point five million dollars

14
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 2: to do.

15
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 1: MEMI used to tell me that.

16
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: Apparently Meltucker's MEMI used to tell him that, and mel

17
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: Tucker has taken the advice.

18
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: We're working on it here collectively. We're working on it here.

19
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: So we've got that to talk about Lane Kiffin, who

20
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: knows he may be on the move. We've been talking

21
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: about Manny Diaz all week. We've been talking about Dan Mullen.

22
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: We've got the very latest on the LSU coaching search.

23
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 2: We've got several big time Week twelve matchups to break down.

24
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: We've got predictions. I got a little I think graphic

25
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: that producer Jesse made a little bit later on to

26
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: show you that indicates there could be total and abject

27
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 2: chaos on the horizon. And I think the number is

28
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: something like ten of fifteen out of that top fifteen

29
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: in the playoff rankings, about ten of the fifteen are

30
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: in some form a vulnerable spot this week at least

31
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 2: points spread wise. So we'll discuss that there is a

32
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 2: rebuild underway at Texas. There's a great piece over on

33
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: Horns twenty four to seven right now by Chip Brown

34
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: about that, and also some comments from Steve Sarkizan earlier

35
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 2: this week that I want to touch on all that.

36
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: Plus we got some added best bets.

37
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: We are hot right now and we are going to

38
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: lay the hammer down this weekend. We're already three and

39
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: oh on the week and it is by my estimation Thursday.

40
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: So the MAC has been very good to us. Baseball

41
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: has been very good to Sammy Sosa. The MAC has

42
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: been very good to us at Late Kick, Josh, I

43
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: cannot stress enough to make sure you're following now. It

44
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: didn't bite you when I posted on Twitter the Central

45
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: Michigan pick. It was CMU minus two and a half.

46
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: If you waited till the show, it was plus two

47
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: and a half or something like that.

48
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: It was maybe in reverse order.

49
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: Well, they wanted to blow out either way, so it

50
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 2: didn't cost you there, but losing that line value could

51
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: cost you. So make sure you're following on Twitter and

52
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: Instagram at late kick Josh, I've got something to show

53
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: you later. I know a lot of you out there

54
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: skip through the ad read Oh, I wouldn't skip through

55
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 2: it tonight. I brought visual aids with me tonight to

56
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: assist our folks from Academy, Sports and outdoors.

57
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: You will enjoy.

58
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: All Right, let's dive in and talk about what all's

59
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: changed in the world over the last forty eight hours

60
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 2: since you and I spoke Latest Coaching Search Whispers, Coaching

61
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: Search Intel. Let's start with LSU. Seems like a lot's

62
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: happened for nothing to have really happened over the last

63
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: twenty four thirty six hours. This is the time of year,

64
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 2: by the way, in case you haven't noticed, those of

65
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: you down in Louisiana, you understand terminology used when a

66
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 2: tropical system is headed your way. Every meteorologist talks in

67
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: twelve hour increments. Normally they say one day, two day,

68
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 2: three day. But when you're talking about a hurricane approaching,

69
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: it's twenty four to forty eight seventy two hour windows.

70
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: And when you look at the cone the.

71
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: Projected path, it's twenty four thirty six forty eight seventy two.

72
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 2: That's how the hours count down until a landfalling tropical system. Well,

73
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 2: in coaching search terms, that's how we talk. We talk

74
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: about them as if it's a tropical system. What's changed

75
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 2: in the last twelve to twenty four to thirty six hours,

76
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: what's going to change over the next twelve to twenty

77
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: four to thirty six Well, I don't know that a

78
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: lot is going to change on the surface at LSU.

79
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: But I had some of my fine LSU brethren hit

80
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: me up on the eye Josh today, and believe it

81
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: or not, they were a little mad, maybe not mad,

82
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: maybe frustrating, and they're frustration.

83
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: Friends, was there's no news.

84
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: And I want to ask anyone out there down in

85
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: Cajun Country this, what kind of good news can you

86
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: have possibly gotten today? What kind of good news? Because

87
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: no coach worth his sault is available to take your

88
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: job right now. No coach worth his salt is available

89
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: to make a comment on it. And why, I think

90
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: the answer is obvious. They're all tied up in meaningful

91
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 2: seasons of their own. So you were never going to

92
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: hear anything today that was at least going to meet

93
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: your criteria for qualifying as good news. If you heard

94
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: something today, it was going to be cause some guy

95
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: was going to leave a studio job. You know, like me,

96
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: you don't want me taking your job. There are a

97
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: lot of guys out of work right now. Yeah, they

98
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,799
Speaker 2: could have taken your job today. I don't really think

99
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: you're interested in those as your plan A, B or C.

100
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: So it's not a bad thing, and it doesn't mean

101
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 2: that things aren't going on behind the scenes. I want

102
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 2: to run down this list of names, though, that we

103
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: have seen so far, at least publicly attached to the

104
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: LSU job, and I want you to spot the difference.

105
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: Mel Tucker that's one, Jimo Fisher that's two, and Lincoln Riley.

106
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: Those are three high profile names that at least publicly

107
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 2: you have seen tied to the LSU job.

108
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: Has happened.

109
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: What's the difference which one stands out. Well, Mel Tucker

110
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: is about to have forced Gump money. We're going to

111
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 2: talk about him in a second, so we know that's

112
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 2: not happening, or at least we think we know that's not happening.

113
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: Jimbo Fisher, in his own unique way, said no, I'm

114
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 2: not taking the job. It took like five or ten minutes,

115
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: because that is his own unique way. But Jimbo Fisher

116
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: shot that thing down. Lincoln Riley so far is just

117
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 2: kind of hanging out in Norman, and he's made the usual.

118
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: I want to be here.

119
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: You guys know how I feel about Oklahoma. But there

120
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 2: has been no contract extension there. There has been no

121
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,559
Speaker 2: direct shooting down of LSU. Rumors why because Lincoln Riley

122
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: is still involved in this thing and LSU still involved

123
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: with Lincoln Riley. That is not huge news. That's been

124
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 2: established for a little while now. But if you ever

125
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 2: want to know about the validity or whether something is

126
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: a smoke screen.

127
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: That's what you need to look at. See Jimbo. Jimbo

128
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: wasn't going to be used as a smoke screen.

129
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 2: Jimbo Fisher said no, no, no, no, no, that's essentially what

130
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: Jimbo Fisher said there would be a lot less drawling,

131
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: but Lincoln Riley could do that. Today, Lincoln Riley is

132
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 2: not doing that because, as I said the other night,

133
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: I think for the past three shows, I've said this,

134
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: as of this hour, I think there's a lot going

135
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 2: on in Baton Rouge, and there's a lot going on

136
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: in Norman, Oklahoma, and that's probably where things stand. And

137
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: who knows, when the sun sets this time tomorrow, they

138
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: may still be there. Unfortunately, in Nashville the sun will

139
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: set at four thirty in the afternoon for reasons that

140
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: I have no control.

141
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: Over, but sure do wish I did.

142
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: Speaking of Mel Tucker, I did want to speak on him.

143
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 2: A lot of speaking happening. Mel Tucker is reportedly I'm

144
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: about to sign a massive contract extension with Michigan State.

145
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: How massive are we talking here, Well, it looks to

146
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: be about ten years, ninety five million dollars. So I

147
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: had stats and info crunch the numbers, and that comes

148
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 2: out to nine point five million dollars a year. They

149
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 2: tell me that's a lot of money. As I said,

150
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: that's Forrest Gump money. That's big time money. That is

151
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: right in line with what Nick Saban makes that's north

152
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: of what I think Dabo's swiney, and that has led

153
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: a lot of you to ask me in the inbox

154
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 2: if I think Meltucker would be overpaid making nine point

155
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 2: five million dollars per year, And my answer is, of course,

156
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: he wouldn't be overpaid, no different than in our industry.

157
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: A lot of people think, believe it or not, some

158
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: people in our industry are overpaid. Well, they're not overpaid,

159
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: they're not underpaid. They're just paid. And in the coaching world,

160
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 2: you're worth what someone's willing to pay you. That's how

161
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 2: value kind of operates. And if you're being underpaid according

162
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: to your criteria, and you believe that, you take yourself

163
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: out onto the open market and you let the market tell.

164
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: You whether you're being underpaid or not.

165
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 2: You know, there's some coaches right now that are about

166
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: to renegotiate because relative to market force is changing. They're

167
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: old adequately paid now becomes an underpaid situation. This stuff's

168
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 2: constantly evolving and changing. But I want to go to

169
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: Meltucker specifically, that's a whole lot of money. Does his

170
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: resume in historic terms indicate that he's worth that kind

171
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: of money. No, it doesn't, but that's not what we're

172
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: going by here. The scale slides a lot and the

173
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: economics change a lot, but it's not necessarily merit based

174
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: resume based, as much as it is how we determine

175
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: your value. That's how we're based in Michigan. State has

176
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 2: decided Meltucker's their guy. Now here's what just humors me.

177
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: I'm all for Meltucker and anyone for that matter, getting

178
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 2: every dime they can possibly get, so they definitely don't

179
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: take this as a negative or pejorative in any nature

180
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 2: towards Meltucker. But I'm always entertained by coaching searches and

181
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: by this entire season because it's very cutthroat, and if

182
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: you wade out into these waters where you are being

183
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 2: discussed with the most prestigious jobs in America, or if

184
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 2: you are one of those jobs and you're going after

185
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 2: the biggest names in America, there are two avenues. One

186
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 2: of them is recruiting and the other one is elite

187
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 2: coaching searches, where you really got to roll your sleeves

188
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: up and you got to have the knife in your

189
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 2: back pocket to be ready to go fight someone. Because

190
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 2: that's what this turns into Michigan State pulled out the

191
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: knife and it was actually a sword, and no one

192
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 2: wanted to match it, and so they're proactively locking their

193
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 2: guide down. Michigan State's never done this before. This is

194
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 2: a huge move from Michigan State. But it's been entertaining

195
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 2: for me to watch because I'm glad they're doing it.

196
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 2: I was up there a couple of weeks ago. They

197
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: deserve it, love Michigan State. Glad they're doing it. Here's

198
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: what's entertaining. This is privately funded, and what's entertaining is

199
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 2: there are a lot of people out there with net

200
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 2: worths associated with various programs that technically could do this,

201
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 2: and a lot of them brag about being able to

202
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 2: do it. Only a fraction of them are willing to

203
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 2: step up the polite and actually do it. Michigan State's

204
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 2: got some deep pockets up there and they're willing to

205
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 2: step up and do something about it.

206
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: They've also fulfilled.

207
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 2: A magnitude of nil based deals with their student athletes

208
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: up there, so they're about it. A lot of people

209
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: talk about it, Michigan State has been about it. What's

210
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: entertaining is if you look at this particular sector of

211
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: life it doesn't match anything else in these people's lives.

212
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 2: So these people, in order to get to the status

213
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 2: they are in life, just strictly in terms of economics,

214
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 2: they have had to live by a different code, the

215
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: fiscal responsibility and the economic principle that you have to

216
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 2: adhere to to amass the kind of value that these

217
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: people have in their bank accounts to even qualify them

218
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 2: to be involved in making a dent in these kinds

219
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 2: of coaching searches and extensions.

220
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: It's just different. They're living a little bit different.

221
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 2: Than you and I, and then you inject emotion and

222
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 2: passion and competition in sports into it, and a lot

223
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 2: of the economic and financial sense it just flies out

224
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 2: the window. And it's so fun to watch because you're

225
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 2: making decisions and you're paying money for I'm not going

226
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: to call Meltucker an asset, but a coach in a

227
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: generic sense is an asset to a program, and you're

228
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 2: just throwing money around that you never would in any

229
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: other walk of life.

230
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: It's so fun to watch.

231
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 2: Some people think it's bad, some people think it's good.

232
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: It's good for us. I know that it's good for us,

233
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 2: so it's real fun. But here's the downside. The downside,

234
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: contrary to what your local sports writer may tell you,

235
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 2: is not how it erodes away at the integrity of

236
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 2: the sport.

237
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: Nah, you can miss me with that. But here's what

238
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: it does.

239
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 2: It makes people forget Sometimes you're only able to get

240
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: one hundred percent of Meltucker. You pay him a few

241
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 2: more zeros per year. You don't all of a sudden

242
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 2: get one hundred and fifty percent of him. That's impossible.

243
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 2: And here's what I hope Michigan State understands, Just like

244
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 2: I always talk about with any other program, just because

245
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 2: you add some dollars on someone's paycheck does not mean

246
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: you buy more than one hundred percent of their ability.

247
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: It's capped at one hundred percent. Meltucker is who he is.

248
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: Michigan State is capable under Meltucker of what Michigan State

249
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: is capable of under Meltucker. I am not accusing Michigan

250
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 2: State of this. I'm telling you in the past. I'm

251
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 2: looking at other major programs around the country that recently

252
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 2: made moves. There's been this idea that if we pay more,

253
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 2: we can buy the ability to cut corners, we can

254
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 2: buy the ability to microwave our way to a title,

255
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 2: instead of cooking our way to a title, which is

256
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 2: the way everyone has to do it. I don't care

257
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 2: how deep your coffers are, and it is a fool's

258
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 2: errand to expect things to happen like that. So what

259
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 2: I hope is avoided at Michigan State is the notion

260
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 2: that since we're paying this guy more, that all of

261
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 2: a sudden he's going to deliver more for us now

262
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: than he was going to be able to under his

263
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: old contract. That's not the way it works. You paid

264
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 2: the money you're going to pay him to keep him around.

265
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 2: But when I say him, that's what you You kept

266
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 2: him around.

267
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: He's the same dude today.

268
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 2: As he was yesterday, as he was the day before,

269
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 2: as he will be tomorrow. But that's not a bad thing.

270
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: That's a good thing. It's good on Michigan State for

271
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 2: stepping up. And I can tell you it made a

272
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 2: lot of people in the Big ten nervous because Michigan

273
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 2: State is not supposed to be the program that does that.

274
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: Ohio State is, penn State is Michigan is Michigan State.

275
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: They're supposed to settle for their role, and their role

276
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 2: is supposed to be what they are this weekend. They're

277
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: supposed to go into the shoe as a nineteen point dog.

278
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 2: They're not supposed to win, but they're supposed to provide

279
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 2: adequate pushback to where you get the big boys ready

280
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 2: down the road for conference championship Saturday in the playoff.

281
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: That's a Michigan State's role. The only problem is no

282
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 2: one clear that with Michigan State, and they're not accepting

283
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 2: that anymore.

284
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 1: That's good for them. Lane Kiffin was never going to

285
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: watch this cycle go by quietly. He just wasn't.

286
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin himself is not of that nature. Jimmy Sexton,

287
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 2: who represents him, is certainly not of that nature. And

288
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 2: so today, like clockwork, with all the other busyness going

289
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 2: around in the coaching search market and the coaching carousel

290
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 2: and whatever you want to use to describe it, we

291
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: get some reports that Lane kiffen if offered the Miami job,

292
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 2: which friends is not even available yet, but if offered.

293
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: Hit take it, hit take it. That's the word out there.

294
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 2: I was having a back and forth with director Colin

295
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: who is real contrary to the debate raging in the

296
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: chat right now, and producer Jesse no one has even

297
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 2: argued the validity of Jesse's existence. Yet It's coming though,

298
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: and we were arguing about what this move would be,

299
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 2: just this theoretical move. If Lane Kiffin were to leave

300
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 2: Old Miss from Miami, would it make sense now? I

301
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 2: caught a lot of heat the other night because I

302
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 2: said Oregon's a better job than Miami. Some people even

303
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 2: literally thought that my entire opinion hinged on the access

304
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 2: to private aviation. I had like dozens of people say, well, idiot, hey, idiot,

305
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 2: your while you are stupid, you don't have to fly

306
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 2: in South Florida. You can just drive to all the schools,

307
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 2: just like thirty minutes. It wasn't literal. I mean it

308
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: kind of was literal.

309
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: It was an.

310
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 2: Example of the investment that existed Oregon. It wasn't a

311
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: literal list of what you have to talk. I digress.

312
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: There was an argument earlier today, and there will be

313
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 2: as this moves forward and Manny Diaz is probably let

314
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 2: go and Lane Kiffin's name is probably brought into the equation.

315
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: There will be an argument is the Old Miss job

316
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 2: better than the Miami job. I will probably save that

317
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 2: for when the time comes. I think there is a

318
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 2: solid argument to be made on both sides. I don't

319
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 2: doubt that Lane Kiffin's interested in having his name involved

320
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 2: in this, but it could be just as equal an

321
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 2: opportunity that he wants his name involved in kind of

322
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 2: doing the same thing Mel Tucker just did at Ole

323
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 2: Miss as he is actually making the.

324
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: Move to cole Gable.

325
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 2: So it still, to me remains to be seen how

326
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 2: valid that is, knowing how Jimmy Sexton has worked this

327
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 2: thing in the past. But simple concepts here, I mean,

328
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 2: if you're going to play the other side of this fence,

329
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 2: very simple concepts in play.

330
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffen has let it be known. I can tell

331
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: you this for sure.

332
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 2: Lane Kiffen let it be known when he got to Oxford, Mississippi,

333
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 2: he didn't plan on retiring there, to put it mildly,

334
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 2: and so if that's still where his mind is a

335
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 2: few years later, you have got a combination of things

336
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: coming together. You've got him rattling off, for all we know,

337
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: the best season he'll ever hang at Ole Miss. And

338
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 2: then you've also got the most volatile, unstable in a

339
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 2: good way for a coach market out there that we've seen,

340
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 2: the most wide open coaching market and so if you

341
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 2: feel that way, you'd be foolish not to dive in.

342
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 2: I mean, even if you were a little hesitan. If

343
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 2: i'm your representative, I'm telling you you told me this

344
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: three years ago. If you still feel that way, you

345
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 2: better dive in right now, because I can't guarantee you

346
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 2: here's the word. I can't guarantee you these confluences of

347
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 2: events will ever happen again for you.

348
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: So Lane Kiffin's going to be a name that we

349
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: probably talked about a lot here of the coming weeks.

350
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: It is also widely believed that the Georgia staff could

351
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 2: suffer several losses if all these jobs open up, if

352
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 2: Miami opens, if Florida opens, or if a combination of

353
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 2: them open. What's gonna happen is you're gonna hear names

354
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 2: like Dan Lanning, who is the defensive coordinator at Georgia.

355
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 2: You'll hear names like Del McGee, who used to coach

356
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 2: at Carver in Columbus when I was down there. So

357
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 2: he has rocketed up the college boards. And it's not

358
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 2: that those guys stand a shot at landing Florida or

359
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: landing Miami. What's gonna happen is Inevitably, when Miami hires someone,

360
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 2: or Florida hire someone, or LSU hire someone, and then

361
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: those assistant coaching roles get filled, they're going to be

362
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 2: these other openings. That's why of these are called keystone programs,

363
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 2: because the moves made their impact and have a ripple

364
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 2: effect on the rest of the sport. So they're going

365
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: to be some down ballot jobs if you will open

366
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 2: up that may be well suited for the Dan Lannings

367
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 2: of the world, or maybe the Del mcgeese of the world.

368
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 2: I was over on the Athletic today, I believe it

369
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 2: was Seth Emerson and Bruce Feldman were writing about this

370
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 2: very subject about the Georgia coaching staff, and I thought

371
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 2: they brought up a couple of interesting points that I've

372
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 2: actually heard from other folks. They've kind of phrased it

373
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 2: the same way. The ted Lasso effect in this stuff

374
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 2: is real, and I think also the Sam Pittman effect,

375
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 2: and this is real. One of those is an actual person,

376
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 2: the other is not. Second ted Lasso reference this week.

377
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 2: I don't know how this happened. The ted Lasso effect

378
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 2: is simply this right in line with the famous show.

379
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 2: It is the ability to go find someone who may

380
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 2: not specialize on one side of the ball or the

381
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 2: other side of the ball. But what they do is

382
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 2: they bring an energy to the program and then they

383
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: hire the best assistance they can and they carry out

384
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 2: all the dirty work. They're the mercenaries. You're just the

385
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 2: face of the program. And it's okay if you don't

386
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 2: go and dominate all the chalk talk clinics you go to.

387
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: We'll get coaches in here for that. We want the

388
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 2: leadership who want the positivity. That is how a guy

389
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 2: like maybe Adel McGee would rock it up to being

390
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,479
Speaker 2: a head coach. That combined with the Sam Pittman effect.

391
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 2: And this is another thing they mentioned, and it's another

392
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 2: thing that a lot of people in the industry are

393
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 2: talking about. The perception has changed as to what has

394
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 2: to be on your resume in order to get a shot.

395
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 2: Used to be that there were just a certain bots

396
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 2: you have to have checked. Well, now a lot of people,

397
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 2: not just on the Georgia staff, a lot of people

398
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 2: and a lot of representatives of those people are pointing

399
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 2: the Sam Pittman saying, remember back when you may have

400
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 2: thought you had to have been a coordinator or a

401
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 2: head coach before to get a major job. Well, let

402
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 2: me introduce you to one. Samuel Pittman resides in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

403
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 2: They're doing really good this year. Anyone noticed that how

404
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 2: many games did he coordinate the offense for Georgia? The

405
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 2: next one would be the first one. A lot of

406
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 2: people are using that train of thought. I think it's

407
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 2: going to be effective. And so the Georgia's staff, they're

408
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 2: going to lose some folks. I don't know how badly

409
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 2: it's going to hurt them, only because the underneath support

410
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 2: roles that Kirby Smart's filled out. It leaves you with

411
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 2: such a ready made replacement. I don't even think Kirby

412
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 2: Smart would have to leave Athens to replace a lot

413
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 2: of the guys if and when he loses them, because

414
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 2: they're that prepared for it. They were prepared for it previously.

415
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: I mean, some of these guys were elevated, and so

416
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to hurt them.

417
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: It certainly doesn't help to lose guys.

418
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to hurt them nearly as

419
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 2: much as maybe it's going to be perceived if and

420
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 2: when it immediately happens.

421
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: So that's the latest.

422
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 2: I assume once we get out of this weekend, we'll

423
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 2: probably hear a lot more. I imagine we will broach

424
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 2: the subject again on Sunday night. Before then, though, we've

425
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 2: got to go to Columbus, Ohio this weekend for the

426
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 2: Michigan State Ohio State game. Now I'm looking very very

427
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 2: much forward to this. I'm gonna fly up there midday tomorrow.

428
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 2: I got some odds and ends I need to take

429
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 2: care of. But when I'm in Columbus on Saturday, as

430
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 2: is normally the case when I'm on campus with the

431
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 2: Late Kick Renaissance Tour, it is very advantageous that you

432
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 2: bump into me, not just for a handshake or a

433
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 2: hello or even a picture. But we have got a partner.

434
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: They are Academy Sports and Outdoors, and they don't just

435
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: talk the talk.

436
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 2: They don't just give us a logo or a little

437
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: branding package to put on air.

438
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: They give us free stuff.

439
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 2: So I've told you before about the handoffs that are

440
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 2: executed sometimes between myself and the fine folks at Academy

441
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 2: when I go to these various cities, and every now

442
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 2: and then I ask for some free stuff and they

443
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 2: give it to me, and if you're listening on podcasts,

444
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 2: I am very sketchily holding up an envelope because I've

445
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 2: described the handoff to you guys before, and the handoff

446
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 2: is a lot like you would execute down on the

447
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 2: corner of ninth and Broad with your local bookie. It

448
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 2: is a very folded up envelope like the one in

449
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 2: my hand, and you unfold the envelope and you open

450
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 2: it up, and there is of course something in the envelope,

451
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 2: just like I have in my hand right now, Colin,

452
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: can we go to the key shot so I can

453
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 2: actually get a close up of this right quick?

454
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: What we have here is.

455
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:11,239
Speaker 2: We have just endless amounts of Academy gift cards and

456
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 2: I will have these on me as I do every

457
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 2: single weekend in Columbus this weekend, and these bad boys

458
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 2: are were thirty to fifty a pop.

459
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 1: There's some of both in here, actually.

460
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 2: And that is what I roll around town with in

461
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,719
Speaker 2: my back pocket. And so I could read you all

462
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 2: of the specials they have going on at Academy this Christmas,

463
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 2: and it would be great. And I could read you

464
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 2: all the fine language that they've put in these ad reads,

465
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 2: and that would be great, but you already know it all.

466
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 2: You know it's the one stop shop for all your

467
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 2: tailgating needs. You know it's the one stop shop for

468
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: all of your fall and winter where you know all that,

469
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 2: you know it's the one stop shop. Here's what else

470
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 2: you need to know. They're giving us a bunch of

471
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 2: free stuff to give out this weekend, and so if

472
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 2: you're in Columbus, Ohio, find me. Can't tell you where

473
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 2: I'll be because I don't know where I'll be, but

474
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 2: find me this weekend, and we think again our partner

475
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 2: Academy Sports and Outdoors for making a truly memorable holiday

476
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 2: season special for all of us.

477
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: We move on.

478
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 2: We've got some big games coming up this weekend. Gonna

479
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 2: be some good tailgating scenes this weekend.

480
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: Week twelve picks. Let's start with Arkansas at Alabama.

481
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 2: Obama is around a three touchdown favorite, could be twenty,

482
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 2: could be twenty one and a half, depending on where

483
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 2: you look right now. It's the three point thirty game

484
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 2: of the week on CBS Eastern time for the kickoffs here,

485
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 2: I cannot get that stat line out of my head

486
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 2: from the LSU Alabama game. That rushing statistic cannot get

487
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 2: it out of my head, utterly fascinated to see how

488
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 2: effectively they'll be able to run the ball against Arkansas.

489
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 2: To me, it's all about start for Alabama. It's the

490
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 2: kind of game where if they get up early, you know,

491
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 2: Arkansas's probably not built to throw on them and come

492
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 2: from behind.

493
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: Probably not.

494
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 2: But then again, you say the same thing about LSU,

495
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 2: and it didn't matter because they never got margin on

496
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 2: LSU and they were favored by twenty eight in that game.

497
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 2: They're favored by twenty. Here the Model looks at it.

498
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 2: You know, the Model likes Arkansas. The Model actually qualifies

499
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 2: Arkansas as being one of our best bets of the week.

500
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 2: I laid off of it for personal reasons. Just feel

501
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 2: I laid off of it. We don't have to bet

502
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 2: literally every game the Model keys on. But Brian Robinson

503
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 2: and Trey Sanders, they're about what's left for Alabama at

504
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 2: running back.

505
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: Right now.

506
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 2: This goes to show you again why on this show

507
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 2: we say never stop recruiting running backs. This summer, Alabama

508
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 2: was so air quote loaded at running back that Keelan

509
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 2: Robinson saw fit to transfer to Texas. And now Keelan

510
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 2: Robinson would probably be a feature back if he were

511
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 2: healthy himself at Alabama. That's how quickly these things can change.

512
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 2: So here's what I'm feeling on this game. I am

513
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 2: feeling a little bit more expliciitity in the passing game

514
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 2: this week out of necessity. I certainly think they'll run

515
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 2: for more than six yards. Don't know how much more,

516
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 2: but I think they will. I think Alabama's going to

517
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 2: end up winning. Don't know that they'll cover. I would

518
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 2: actually lean Arkansas plus the points cover, but I'm very,

519
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 2: very interested if they are ineffective running the ball again

520
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 2: this late in the season, I don't know how much

521
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: confidence you can possibly have leading towards the Iron Bowl

522
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 2: and then eventually a game against Georgia in the SEC

523
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 2: Championship game if they win either of these games. So

524
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Alabama to whim. I'm going to go

525
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 2: Arkansas to cover Jesse. I know we're supposed to start

526
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 2: with that graphic, so let's loop it around to the end.

527
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: We'll do that graphic at the very end. Let's go

528
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 2: Iowa State at Oklahoma next. Oklahoma is a three and

529
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 2: a half point favorite. This is the big noon kickoff

530
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 2: on Fox. This is Saturday high noon Eastern time. I

531
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 2: think there's some really good dynamics.

532
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: In play here for Oklahoma.

533
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people are on Iowa State

534
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 2: this week. A lot of people are on Matt Campbell

535
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 2: because they misunderstood what he said or don't get what

536
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 2: he said.

537
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: I don't really care about that. I already spoke my

538
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: piece on that.

539
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 2: But as for the game, you last saw Oklahoma reeling

540
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 2: coming out of Baylor, and you last saw Iowa State,

541
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 2: you probably didn't watch it last week.

542
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 1: They lost too.

543
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 2: I love the dynamics for oklahom here as much as

544
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 2: I would love to see Iowa State selfishly pull the upset.

545
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 2: I love the dynamics Oklahoma's due up. They are totally

546
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 2: in wounded animal mode, pure desperation mode here. Their playoff

547
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 2: lives are on the line. Could very well be that

548
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 2: their Big Twelve championship hopes or on the line the

549
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 2: next couple of weeks. Also, it's a back to back

550
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 2: road spot for Iowa State, and they lost all of

551
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 2: their Big Twelve championship hopes last week. And the Model

552
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 2: loves Oklahoma. It's one of our best bets of the week.

553
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 2: We already tweeted it out earlier if you're following. If not,

554
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 2: we'll put it at the end of the show. But

555
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 2: I expect the passing game to be better for Oklahoma

556
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 2: this week, a more balanced attack. But I especially think

557
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 2: that they'll have a little more success against the Iowa

558
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: State secondary than they did Baylor last week. I'm going

559
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 2: to take OU to win. We're actually taking Ou minus

560
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 2: three and a half. I don't think it's going to

561
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,479
Speaker 2: get down to three. We're taking three and a half.

562
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 2: It's one of our best bets of the week. I

563
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 2: think Oklahoma bounce.

564
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: Is back this week.

565
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 2: Michigan is on the road at Maryland. This game is

566
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 2: going to be ignored. A lot of people are going

567
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: to pay attention to it. They are fifteen point favorites

568
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 2: or the Wolverines. It's a Saturday three thirty Eastern game.

569
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 2: It's going to be off the national radars on Big

570
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 2: ten Network. Three things to watch for Michigan last tune

571
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 2: up before the game against Ohio State Number one.

572
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: I want to know how well Maryland throws the ball.

573
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 2: Against this secondary because it's the last, obviously the last

574
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 2: preview that we see from any kind of competent passing

575
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 2: attack before Michigan has to face Ohio State.

576
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: That's the first thing. Do they stone them?

577
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 2: Or does Maryland have some success through the air maybe

578
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 2: a little bit more than you're comfortable with.

579
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: Second thing, how well does Michigan run the ball?

580
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 2: It is going to be the key to their success

581
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 2: in any game they play, but especially next week. They

582
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 2: don't need to be peeling off seventy eight yards on

583
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 2: the ground. They need to be one seventy eight to

584
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 2: two to twenty five something around that on the ground

585
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 2: against Maryland. And also not that we can quantify it,

586
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 2: but is there any kind of look ahead factor here?

587
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 2: In fact, a number of these teams are in this position.

588
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 2: The next game we're going to cover features a team

589
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 2: in this position. So I've got Michigan winning the model

590
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 2: very slightly leans Maryland plus the points. I have no

591
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 2: strong feel on that we're going to go Michigan to

592
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 2: win anything. I think above fourteen and a half, we

593
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 2: lean Maryland plus the points. It is certainly not a

594
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 2: best bet. Here's another team in potential look ahead mode,

595
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 2: and that is Oklahoma State minus ten on the road.

596
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 2: Notice all these highly ranked teams on the road double

597
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: digit favorites though, so no one's going to be paying

598
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 2: much attention Cowboys minus ten at Texas Tech. It's a

599
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 2: night game. It's eight o'clock Eastern on Fox or seven.

600
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 2: I think it's seventies on Fox. Either way, it's nighttime.

601
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 2: Sun will be down. Interesting matchup here. Oklahoma State has

602
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 2: been excellent, I mean excellent, I think probably the best

603
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 2: team in the Big Twelve at pressuring the quarterback. And

604
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 2: in games against offenses like Texas Tech, you tend to

605
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 2: have the crowbar theory in effect. The crowbar theory is

606
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 2: when you get these inordinately disruptive defensive fronts like Oklahoma

607
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 2: States and you rely on a lot of timing and

608
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 2: rhythm in your past game, obviously it tends to just

609
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 2: crowbar you. It's like throw the crowbar and the bicycle spokes.

610
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: It doesn't slow you down. You either hum or you

611
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 2: fall straight over the handlebars, face street pizza, you know

612
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 2: the metaphor. However, over the past few weeks, Texas Tech

613
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 2: has had Donovan Smith the quarterback. Big kid can fall

614
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 2: forward for the first down, offers a little more balance

615
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 2: and offers a little more versatility in the offensive game

616
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 2: on the ground than I think they had early in

617
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 2: the year.

618
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: And for that reason.

619
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 2: As good as Oklahoma State looked last week, I'm actually

620
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 2: a little concerned about it because, as you know, we

621
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 2: made Oklahoma State one of our best bets last week,

622
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 2: so a blowout against TCU is what we expected. We

623
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 2: did not get anything unexpected. Now this week, the model

624
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 2: looks at it and says Oklahoma State should be favored

625
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 2: by about seven.

626
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: So the same model that picked the upset, I mean,

627
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: picked the blowout last.

628
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 2: Week, looks at this and says, wouldn't be shocked at

629
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 2: an outright upset. Think Oklahoma State wins, don't think they cover.

630
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 2: So we're taking Oklahoma State to win because there's also

631
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 2: a potential look ahead here too. We're taking Oklahoma State

632
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 2: to win one week before Bedlam, one week before they

633
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 2: play OU, and we're taking Texas Tech plus the points.

634
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: Not a best bet. These are just random picks.

635
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 2: Since he plays SMU Saturday, this is the last probably

636
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 2: regular season shot obviously that Cincinnati is going to have

637
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 2: to lose. They are eleven and a half point favorites

638
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 2: at home. They are currently the fifth ranked team in

639
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 2: the College Football Playoff. It's a Saturday game. It's three

640
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 2: point thirty on ESPN. The model has this thirty seven

641
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 2: and a half to thirty. I think Cincinnati wins by

642
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 2: a little over a touchdown.

643
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: Thinks the numbers too big.

644
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 2: It's been a while since Cincinnati flexed on anyone, and

645
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 2: the model is taken that into account. All of the

646
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 2: season baked then now we're not taking anything preseason into account.

647
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 2: Sunny Dykes, they've lost a few games there, there's a

648
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 2: thought around the industry that Sunny.

649
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: Dyke still has his choice of a few jobs.

650
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 2: I don't know that I agree with this all the time,

651
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 2: but there is a thought that it is imperative he

652
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 2: pulled one of these games off.

653
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: They've lost a couple, need.

654
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 2: To win one, and this would obviously be the giant

655
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 2: feather in the cap. I'm saying all that to say,

656
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 2: don't worry about motivation, don't worry about anything potentially being

657
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 2: let out of the sales for SMU.

658
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: They'll be ready. I actually think Cincinnati is gonna lose

659
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: this weekend. So not only am I going.

660
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 2: To take SMU to cover that eleven and a half,

661
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 2: which I think may come down before kickoff, I think

662
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 2: SMU is actually going to win the game out right,

663
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 2: and it will be a situation where you may watch

664
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 2: it and if it goes down that way, you say, well,

665
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 2: they flirted with this for about the past month, it's

666
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 2: about time it finally happened. If this happens the first team,

667
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 2: I'm going to look at Notre Dame because all of

668
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:40,959
Speaker 2: a sudden, I don't think head to head's gonna matter,

669
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,719
Speaker 2: because I don't think committee would look at these resumes

670
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 2: and otherwise say they're even comparable.

671
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: And so Notre Dame again.

672
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 2: Shark Finn out there, going to talk about the Irish

673
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 2: in a second. Notre Dame out there. If since he

674
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 2: goes down, just keep an eye on that. Also, Jesse

675
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 2: had a nice fancy graphic made. Check this out if

676
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 2: you're listening on podcasts. This is one of the rare

677
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 2: times where you truly lose not having the visual element.

678
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna read it to you. All these teams

679
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 2: listed here are in the top fifteen. You see the

680
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 2: numbers corresponding right there. This is a treacherous weekend, guys.

681
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 2: This could be a complete mushroom cloud of a weekend

682
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 2: and no one's paying attention to it because there's only

683
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 2: one quote unquote top ten matchup. But Oregon is number

684
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 2: three right now. They are a three point dog on

685
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 2: the road at Utah. Ohio State and Michigan State obviously

686
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 2: play each other, so inevitably a top ten team falls there. Cincinnati,

687
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 2: I just picked them to lose the game out right.

688
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 2: But even if you don't think they're gonna lose outright,

689
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 2: look at that. That's an eleven and a half point

690
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 2: line and they're at home. That's the number five team

691
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 2: play in SMU. Michigan is on the road at Maryland.

692
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 2: They're on the road the week before the biggest game

693
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 2: of the year. Form They're a little over two touchdown

694
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 2: favorite Notre Dame's number eight.

695
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: We love them.

696
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 2: Against Georgia Tech, but that's still a dangerous game. They're

697
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 2: only a seventeen point favorite at home Oklahoma State. Think

698
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,959
Speaker 2: that's treacherous. They're a ten point favorite on the road

699
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 2: at Texas Tech. I'm not even out of the top

700
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 2: ten yet. Number ten, Wake Forest is a four and

701
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 2: a half point underdog against Clemson. We're going to talk

702
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 2: about that game more later. Baylor number eleven in the

703
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 2: country right now. There are a one point dog currently

704
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,719
Speaker 2: on the road at Key State, and number thirteen Oklahoma

705
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 2: three and a half point Favorite versus Iowa State at home.

706
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 2: So that is one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,

707
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 2: And that's ten of the top thirteen teams in the

708
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 2: country that are in some form of a vulnerable position

709
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 2: this weekend.

710
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: This is a renaissance season.

711
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,479
Speaker 2: There are no calm November Saturdays in renaissance seasons. I

712
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 2: know because this is the first one we've lived through

713
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 2: essentially since maybe two thousand and seven. Be very careful.

714
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 2: Don't be thinking you've got a nice little window. I

715
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 2: know our friends over at the Solid Verbal sometimes give

716
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 2: you the window with which you can go out and

717
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 2: get something done. It doesn't exist. Saturday doesn't exist. There

718
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 2: is no window of opportunity. There's just an opportunity for heartbreak.

719
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a heartbreak Saturday. Favorite wrestler, the heartbreak Kid.

720
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 2: This could be heartbreak Saturday, and we own the rights

721
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 2: to that if it does happen.

722
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to touch on this for a second.

723
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 2: Then we're gonnave you best bets and then we're gonna

724
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 2: get out of here. I've got a ton of best bets.

725
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 2: We've got three already in the bag. We got eight

726
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 2: more to give out. That's what we're gonna wrap the

727
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 2: show up with I was looking at Horns twenty four

728
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 2: to seven a day, and Chip.

729
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: Brown has a great feature.

730
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 2: I don't know how long it took him to write this,

731
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 2: but it's a great feature and it kind of corresponded

732
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 2: with or it kind of coincided with you know what.

733
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 2: I actually don't like the way I worded that, so Colin,

734
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 2: pretend like that never happened. Here's where I want to

735
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 2: cut in for the segment the Texas rebuild.

736
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: How long is that gonna take? Our buddy coach? Chip

737
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: hit me up on Twitter today.

738
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 2: And he was talking about two big time losses in

739
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 2: year one of a coach's tenure, and he said which

740
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 2: one was worse? Was it Nick Saban losing to ul

741
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 2: Monroe in two thousand and seven or was it Sark

742
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 2: in Texas losing to Kansas in twenty twenty one? And

743
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 2: to me, it was very easy to answer. I think

744
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 2: the Sark loss to Kansas was much bigger because if

745
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 2: you go back to two thousand and seven when Sabin

746
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 2: and Louisiana or when Saban and Bama lost to Louisiana

747
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 2: Monroe number one, he.

748
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: Was already proven. Nick Saban had already won a national championship.

749
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 2: There was no doubting his credentials and whether he could

750
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 2: get it done, whether he had a plan to get

751
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 2: it done.

752
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: And number two, the following Monday, I vividly remember this.

753
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 2: I never felt more confidence in Nick Saban coming off

754
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 2: any game than I did listening to him the monday

755
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 2: at his press conference after the ul Monroe loss. His

756
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 2: best press conference he has ever had at Bama was

757
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 2: the Monday after Uel Monroe. He essentially gave you a

758
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 2: spoiler alert. He essentially previewed the next decade and a half.

759
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 2: He told you exactly what was going to happen. He

760
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 2: told you how he was going to do it, and

761
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 2: he told you why he couldn't do it right now.

762
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 2: And portions of that are very very key here because

763
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 2: that's what Sark's dealing with. The Only difference is we

764
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 2: don't know, obviously, whether Sark's going to be able to

765
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 2: replicate in a fraction of the success that Nick Saban's had.

766
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you a couple of the points that

767
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 2: Saban made after they lost that game in seven directly

768
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,399
Speaker 2: correlate to what you're seeing right now at Texas. One

769
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 2: of the quotes was, you guys are putting winning ahead

770
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 2: of doing it right, and that's wrong. And Nick Saban

771
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,439
Speaker 2: was wagging that finger at the entire assembled media beat,

772
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 2: but really he was talking to the fan base and

773
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 2: a lot of the rot that was around the program

774
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 2: that needed to be taken care of. Where have you

775
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 2: heard that kind of terminology before, I'll tell you.

776
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: It's Austin, Texas.

777
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 2: And so Steve Sarkejan right now has probably dealt with

778
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 2: some folks around there that are putting winning ahead of

779
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 2: doing it right.

780
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: Now.

781
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: I'm not accusing the entire Texas fan base, far be

782
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 2: it for me to do that, but I think the

783
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,760
Speaker 2: Texas fan base knows what I'm talking about. You can't

784
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 2: have that, and you can't put winning ahead of taking

785
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 2: care of that. And the second thing Saban said that

786
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 2: day that he still says up to and including today

787
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 2: is you cannot get it right until the people are right.

788
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 2: And the people are not right, and I'm specifically talking

789
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 2: about the locker room. Now, you can go back to

790
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,720
Speaker 2: the Bo Davis bus video. The people aren't right there yet.

791
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 2: And so it's not necessarily a shocker that Steve Sarkisian

792
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 2: doesn't have the right ingredients right now. But now here's

793
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 2: where the Chip Brown article earlier today comes into play,

794
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 2: because Sark on Monday made a statement that I picked

795
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 2: up on. I didn't talk about it, but my ears

796
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 2: perked up on Monday because normally coaches don't give out

797
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 2: specific numbers like this. Steve Sarkizan said we could add

798
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 2: as many as thirty three guys to our roster for

799
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. We could add as many as thirty

800
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 2: three new faces. And that's really before he knows fully

801
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 2: how busy the transfer portal is going to be. This

802
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 2: will be the story of college football this upcoming spring,

803
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 2: and then post spring as well in the summer months

804
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 2: when you have like the second round of transfer portal

805
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 2: goings and comings. Texas is going to be a totally

806
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 2: different team next year. I don't know if the record's

807
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 2: going to be different, but Texas is going to be

808
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 2: a totally different team. And Chip over at Horns twenty

809
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 2: four seven, man, he dialed this completely up today and

810
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 2: let you know, kind of positioned by a position, but

811
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 2: easily let you know organizationally where things stand. He named

812
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 2: a bunch of names. I mean, I'm pretty sure that

813
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 2: Steve sarkjan just whispered in his ear and then Chip typed.

814
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 2: That's how thorough the information was. But the process has

815
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 2: already begun. They've already had some guys leave. There hasn't

816
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 2: necessarily been a huge public proclamation that this guy's no

817
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 2: longer on the Texas football team, but a lot of

818
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 2: them are gone, and several of them will be gone.

819
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 2: And that's going to be a good thing for Texas

820
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 2: because you can achieve this without a bunch of fat

821
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 2: being trimmed there for lack of a better term, not

822
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 2: that a better term is needed, but it's going to

823
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 2: kick in the gear really soon. Now here's what I'm watching,

824
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 2: not just the overall roster, but specifically at the quarterback position.

825
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 2: And this is where a lot of the attention is

826
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,919
Speaker 2: going to be period. Hudson Card and Casey Thompson are there,

827
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 2: and we've talked about that ad nauseum this year. A

828
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 2: lot of people in and around Austin are waiting to

829
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 2: see whether Steve Sarkisian gives his endorsement of one of

830
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,720
Speaker 2: those guys being his quarterback moving forward.

831
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: And I don't know that it's coming.

832
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 2: I don't know that it's coming because I don't think

833
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 2: Steve Sarkisian thinks his answer at quarterback is on his

834
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 2: roster right now. Now you can make a case. Chip

835
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 2: made a strong case for Casey Thompson. I don't disagree

836
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 2: with someone what he said where I do think that

837
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 2: there is a remains to be seen factor here is

838
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 2: Steve Sarkisian probably looks and says, well, yeah, Casey Thompson

839
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 2: may be the better of the two I have right here.

840
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 2: But there are three or four names that are going

841
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 2: to be in this transfer portal for all we know.

842
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 2: Don't get hung up on the number. There may be

843
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 2: at least one guy in the transfer portal that I

844
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 2: can get that is immediately my starter when he walks in.

845
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 2: I think that's the situation. I do believe that's what

846
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 2: Steve Sarkisan thinks he's going to be able to do.

847
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 2: But that twenty twenty two Texas team may have said

848
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 2: twenty one a second ago. The twenty twenty two Texas

849
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 2: team will be a totally different team.

850
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 1: Now.

851
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 2: They could put up the exact same record, or they

852
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 2: could improve by five games next year. But this whole

853
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 2: Michigan State blueprint that mel Tucker laid out. Everyone watched that.

854
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 2: Florida State did a version of it with Norvel. Everyone

855
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 2: has watched that, and that is everyone's answer. Now, that

856
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 2: combined with the fact that you're gonna be able to

857
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 2: bring in some more guys because of the way the

858
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 2: COVID rules and roster limitations are changing for a little while,

859
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 2: that is going to greatly benefit Steve Sarkeesian in Texas. Now,

860
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 2: they still have to execute, still got to have a plan,

861
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 2: still got to put it in motion. Still got to

862
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 2: be the right staff for the job. But they got

863
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 2: to get the right people. And this is step one

864
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 2: to getting the right people. This is going to be

865
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 2: the story to watch. I can guarantee you it's going

866
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 2: to command attention coast to coast from now until we

867
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 2: tee it up in fall camp next year.

868
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: All right, let's wrap it up with this and then

869
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: I gotta go to bed. I gotta early flight tomorrow.

870
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 1: Not that I'm complaining. So we are already three and zero.

871
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 2: Central Michigan hit, Eastern Michigan hit, Northern Illinois hit. We

872
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 2: have not lost a MAC game. I don't think this

873
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 2: year stands to reason. Maybe we should just bet on

874
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 2: the Mac now. That'd be too smart. So ram Noodle

875
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,919
Speaker 2: Express is already rolling this week, going to add eight

876
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 2: more games. Several of them I've already given you. I've

877
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 2: given you Notre Dame minus fifteen and a half. You

878
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 2: needed to get it when we handed it out. It's

879
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 2: at seventeen now Virginia plus twelve and a half.

880
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: I got to apologize to you for this. We're still

881
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 1: on the game. We're not backing off the game.

882
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 2: I should have waited because of the quarterback uncertainty that

883
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 2: has driven the number up to fourteen and a half.

884
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 2: So we got a terrible number here. We still like

885
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 2: the game, certainly if you waited. This is one of

886
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 2: the rare exceptions where it benefits you. You can get

887
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 2: Virginia plus fourteen and a half. Our number we got

888
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 2: it at is twelve and a half. Minnesota minus six

889
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 2: and a half numbers at seven now Wisconsin minus eight

890
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 2: and a half. If you've got nine or nine and

891
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 2: a half out there, hold on. I think you can

892
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 2: get a better number. I think that number is going

893
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 2: to come down a little bit. We like Wisconsin to

894
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 2: win by double digits, though, so we will take it

895
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 2: anywhere under ten. Oklahoma minus three and a half. Think

896
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 2: that number is pretty set. Ucla minus three. Think that

897
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 2: number is pretty set. If anything, it's going to go up.

898
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 2: Get it now, Wake Forest plus four and a half.

899
00:40:58,920 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: We're happy.

900
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 2: We wanted any thing above four. We're taking demon Deacons

901
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,760
Speaker 2: at Clemson plus four and a half. App State minus

902
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 2: nine and a half. If you got tens, wait, we

903
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 2: think you can get nine and a half. So app

904
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 2: State minus nine and a half, Wake plus four and

905
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,760
Speaker 2: a half, Ucla minus three, OEU minus three and a half,

906
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 2: Wisconsin minus eight and a half, Minnesota minus six and

907
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,439
Speaker 2: a half, Virginia plus twelve and a half. We're better,

908
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 2: and Notre Dame minus fifteen and a half. We're looking

909
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 2: forward to a really good weekend. Let me give my

910
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 2: token high to the live chat. Thank you so much

911
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 2: for watching us and listening to us wherever you have been.

912
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 2: We will be in Columbus, Ohio, looking very forward to

913
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 2: seeing our first Buckeye game in person this year or ever,

914
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 2: and looking forward to seeing you guys Sunday night. I

915
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 2: can tell you now I expect a lively show because

916
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 2: I expect a lot of chaos to go down this weekend.

917
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 2: The Heisman Trophy could be impacted heavily by the outcome.

918
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: In a few of these games. To be honest with you.

919
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna have several upsets. Dominoes are gonna

920
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 2: fall this weekend.

921
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: For all I know. We could have.

922
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 2: Coaching news on Sunday nights, so make sure you don't

923
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 2: miss that Sunday show. And I don't know how many

924
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 2: of these bad boys I'm gonna have left these Academy

925
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 2: gift cards.

926
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: They're going to go fast this week.

927
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 2: So for producer Jesse, director Colin, our entire crew here,

928
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 2: I'm Josh Pate. Thanks so much for watching. Have a

929
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 2: great early start to your weekend, and God bless
