Speaker 2: Jay mart last couple Saturdays. Now, admittedly, we were on

6
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 2: Game seven of the World Series two weeks ago, so

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: forgive us for not talking to a lot of college football.

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,440

00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: the upset in Tuscaloosa, Oklahoma beating Alabama Texas A and

12
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: M biggest comeback in school history. USC wins to quietly

00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: keep themselves in the playoff picture, Notre Dame as a

14
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: top ten or excuse to be a top twenty five win.

15
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: James Franklin may have a new job. And oh, by

16
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: the way, we have the best NFL slate we've had

17
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: in probably weeks. So I guess what I'm asking you

18
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: is you're ready to buckle it and talk some ball?

19
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 2: J mart read, buckle it and talk some ball.

20
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: Or what you know? I don't care about football?

21
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: Oh, you want to talk to you ukon beating Pyu

22
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: in Boston. Okay, we could do that for three hours.

23
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 2: I haven't nothing but time.

24
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: Whatever man like, sports is sports now, I'm just kidding.

25
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot of.

26
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 2: Funny you like. He sounded like, whatever, man, Yeah.

27
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,639
Speaker 1: Sports tonight, tonight, my tonight with my family, we watched

28
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: our youngest daughter walk. Oh so it's kind of hard

29
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: to care. Just a great moment. We've been waiting on it.

30
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: We knew there were breakthroughs, and she was so proud

31
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: of herself, and when she realized that she could do it,

32
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: she was just all over the place, going to mommy,

33
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: going to daddy, going to her sister. And this was

34
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: happening right as Georgia and Texas was beginning. So I

35
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: missed probably the first ten to eleven minutes. Is we

36
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: were just having that moment. You know, this is our

37
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: youngest and it's our last unless we choose to adopt

38
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: later on in life, and so this is the last

39
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: chance we're gonna see one of our children walk. So

40
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: it's not to overshadow the football because everything you just

41
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: said is a million percent true. And yeah, of course

42
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: I'm geekd to talk about it over the next three hours.

43
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: But things got put in perspective for me tonight when

44
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 1: the Lord showed me my daughter walking and smiling. That

45
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: just kind of dwarfed all of what was going on

46
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: on what was an excellent saturday, all.

47
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: Right, So before we get to college football. Number one thing,

48
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: was big sister there to react? Was she in the room?

49
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: Was she around? Was she asleep? What was going on?

50
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: Yeah? She was there every she was awake still, and

51
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: it is one of those nights. She was very tired

52
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: and we were about to put her down and my

53
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: wife wasn't feeling particularly well either. It was just one

54
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: of those nights, and the Lord was just kind of like,

55
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: you know what, We're going to end this one a

56
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: different way. And yeah, so she she first I just

57
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: kind of let her. I say, hey, can you walk

58
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: to mommy? And I was just kind of holding her,

59
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: and then I just sort of let her go and

60
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: she took those four steps and she she landed at mommy,

61
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: and then from then on it was she went for everything.

62
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: And then her her older sister, just wanted her to

63
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: walk to her and just wanted her to walk and

64
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: walk and walk and walk, and watched her walk in

65
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: her room and all sorts of it was. Uh, it

66
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: was pretty phenomenal. Man. No interceptions, there were no flags

67
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: on the field, nothing was going on, no big time comebacks, nothing,

68
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: nothing like that. Just just perfection. So now now we

69
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: await these scholarship offers that are sure to come for her.

70
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: There you go, I love it. Well, congratulations to your family.

71
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: I'm glad you guys had a great night. And yeah,

72
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: we're very happy to hear that, and we're very happy

73
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: to stay.

74
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: We better than Texas by the way.

75
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say. Georgia has been walking

76
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: into the end zone all game wrong in this one,

77
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: so it is not quite final final. It is thirty

78
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: five to ten, though Texas has the ball here. A

79
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: couple thoughts here. Georgia really pulls away late here twenty

80
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: one points in the fourth quarter. But even before they

81
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 2: went on the twenty one point barrage here in the

82
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, and it is final now, Georgia has won

83
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 2: thirty five to ten. So even before Georgia pulled away,

84
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 2: it felt like they were in complete control. It never

85
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: felt like they were gonna lose. But then the series

86
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: and you and I were texting about this I assume

87
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 2: it was after the little Ones went down. Yes, you know,

88
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 2: Kirby Smart. Kirby Smart called game a series middle or

89
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: early fourth quarter, goes for it on fourth down twice,

90
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: ends up getting the touchdown, and then, oh, by the way,

91
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: the ensuing kickoff on side I kick. No one saw

92
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: it come in recovered by Georgia. I don't know if

93
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 2: he saw this in real time. The guy who recovered

94
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: it from Georgia, Yeah, was so happy that he didn't

95
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 2: even realize, Oh, I could just run this thing into

96
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 2: the end zone and he starts celebrating about five yards

97
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: beyond you know, everybody else. His teammate kind of gets

98
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: him down. But those were the two key plays. Obviously,

99
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 2: Georgia was able to score after that to seal the victory.

100
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 2: But Kirby Smart, man, you know, I can't. I don't

101
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: really know where you've stood on Georgia. I've been more

102
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 2: critical of how they've won of these big rallies, and

103
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: at some point, you know, a lot of big rallies

104
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: resulted into just big wins. They really turned a corner

105
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 2: last week against Mississippi State, and listen, they have wins

106
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: over Tennessee and Ole Miss but the manner in which

107
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 2: they did this tonight, I think is as impressive as

108
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: anything we've seen from Georgia.

109
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: Absolutely. I mean I sent a text to you and

110
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: I was just like, man, Kirby Smart's just better than you,

111
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: Like whoever you are in the country, he's just better

112
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 1: than you. Right now he hadn't played Signetty so that

113
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: so we can kind of act like both of them

114
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: are better than you. But Kirby Smart just does the

115
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: thing like you called it, he called game like this

116
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: thing was kind of close for comfort, despite the fact

117
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: it felt like Georgia was in complete control, but it

118
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: was in a kind of a dangerous mode. And Kirby

119
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: Smart just said enough, That's really what he said. He's

120
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: just like, no, enough, We're done. We're done here. And

121
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: then they blew them out, like not only did Texas

122
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: not get the ball back and score, they lost the

123
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: on side and then Georgia scored again. Georgia just put

124
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: them in the ground, like just basically they could not

125
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: respond to it. It didn't matter. Like by the time

126
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: they got the ball, it was already over and you

127
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: could just see it. They had no answer, they had nothing,

128
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: and the defense had played really well for Texas in

129
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: the first half of a game, and they were in

130
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: position to where, yeah, if they could turn it up

131
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more on offense, they had a shot.

132
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: But Kirby Smart just wasn't going to allow it. And

133
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: there's so many coaches that go to bed after a

134
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: game like that with regret by not being aggressive and

135
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: finding way to lose a game like that, and Kirby

136
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: Smart just doesn't do that. Like Kirby Smart was uber,

137
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: he reminded me a lot just because it's an on

138
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: side maybe it reminds me of this the onside kick

139
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl with the Saints and the Colts

140
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: where Sean Payton came out and they the on side

141
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: got it and scored and of course the Saints ended

142
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: up winning the game. That takes guts man like it

143
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: really really does. It also takes just craftiness and a

144
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: belief in your own skill talent, a belief in your

145
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: own guys, a belief that they can execute something like

146
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: that and end up making you look like a genius.

147
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: And obviously, in Sean Payton's case, it led to a

148
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and in Kirby Smart's case, we don't know

149
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: how this is going to end in terms of the season,

150
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: but man, like what a The game ended on the

151
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: on side kick and it was just all aggression fourth

152
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: downs against a good defense in Texas. No gun or

153
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: just go get it, and he did both times and

154
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: the end up scoring the touchdown. I have been critical

155
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: of Georgia this year. I've kind of like, yeah, you

156
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: know they're winning, but I don't know how good they

157
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: really are. And then you watch this and you're just like,

158
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: but they've got that coach too, Like, who's going to

159
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: count them out of any game? Like they've kind of

160
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: eked out a few victories, but they've won all those games,

161
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: like they've lost one, But who is going to say

162
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: that they can't win the National Championship When you watched

163
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: calls like that and execution like that in crunch time well.

164
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: And the other thing too. All of that plus on

165
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: top of it, they were just awesome on both sides

166
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 2: of the ball. It held Texas to twenty three yards

167
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: rushing on seventeen carries. Now, I know Texas has struggled

168
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 2: all season long to run the football, but I don't

169
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 2: think we should also just complete it just because Texas

170
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: has struggled. I don't think we should dismiss how good

171
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: that Georgia was against the run. They also had three

172
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 2: sacks of Arch seven TFLs. You and I were text

173
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 2: a little bit about Arch. He missed some throws, but man,

174
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: he had a lot of pressure on him throughout the game.

175
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: By the way, hit some receivers in the hands early.

176
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: You know, we could talk Arch if you want. I

177
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: don't really care. I don't think this loss had anything

178
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 2: to do with him. I think it had much more

179
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 2: to do with Georgia just being awesome across the board.

180
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 2: And yeah, I think it's exactly what you said. Is

181
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 2: I was thinking about it watching the game. Is that

182
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 2: for people who don't know all the semantics, right, Texas

183
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 2: A and M wins today, even with Alabama's loss, they

184
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: have the head to head win over Georgia. Those are

185
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: the two teams right now projected to go to the

186
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 2: SEC Championship game. I don't really care. I am with you.

187
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 2: I think when you start looking at teams that could

188
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: play with and beat anybody, I think Georgia's right there

189
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 2: at the top. That's what tonight showed me is I

190
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 2: think Texas is a really good team. We could talk

191
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: about Texas in a half a second. But to me,

192
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: this was Georgia's night, Georgia's moment.

193
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: You know.

194
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 2: They it's weird to say they bailed water or whatever

195
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: you want to call barely holding on against Tennessee and

196
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: Ole Miss, but they did what they had to do

197
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 2: to put themselves in position. Now it just feels like

198
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 2: they're peaking at the right time.

199
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think that's right. They're very much

200
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: not just in the mix obviously for the playoff, but

201
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: they're in the mix for winning at all. The only

202
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: thing that you want to see is more consistency on

203
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: offense when you don't have to have it, like a

204
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: lot of what they end up having to do is

205
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: because they're a little slow or they have these lulls.

206
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: They're not going to be able to afford that against

207
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: some of the teams that they're going to see in

208
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: the College Football Playoff. But if they can bring that,

209
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: if they can just kind of be a little more

210
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: consistent for four quarters on the offensive side of the ball,

211
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know why you would bet

212
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: against them. I'm not saying they're the best team in

213
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: the country, but I still am. We're going to have

214
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 1: that conversation anyway, I think they can beat the best

215
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: team in the country on the right day. For sure,

216
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: think they beat the best team in the country. And

217
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: luckily we're in a system now where we're going to

218
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: be able to see that. But it was really impressive

219
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: and just quickly on Arch. It wasn't all on Arch certainly. Yeah,

220
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: he missed some throws. He missed a couple of big

221
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: time third downs, and his interception was a bat thrower

222
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: where he just overthrew his target. But he had a

223
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: lot of guys dropping balls, and his offensive line could

224
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: not give him protection consistently all night long. He couldn't

225
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: run the ball at all because there was no space.

226
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: Texas came really run it particularly well because they haven't

227
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: had space. This offensive line is just flat out not good.

228
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: There was a stat I have it in front of me.

229
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: I have to find it when we come back to

230
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: this later on about what the defense did through the

231
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: first eight games of the season last year compared to

232
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: what they've done in the first eight games of this season.

233
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: It is just night and day in terms of what

234
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have been able to do against them, particularly how

235
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: many points, how many yards they've given up so you

236
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: cannot throw it all on arch. A lot of people

237
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: are going to do that. I do not watch this

238
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: and think that the take coming out of this is

239
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: man the quarterback stakes. I think that's just flat out lazy,

240
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: real quick.

241
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 2: On Texas, I think, and I think it was fair.

242
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 2: I think there was a narrative of if any team

243
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 2: like basically Texas final three tonight against Georgia Arkansas at home,

244
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 2: and then A and M at home to end the

245
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 2: regular season, so you have two top ten teams, you know,

246
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 2: assuming Texas A and M did what they had to do,

247
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 2: two top ten teams in the final three weeks, and

248
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: I think there was a narrative that Texas was seven

249
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 2: and two coming in. If you split the two Georgia

250
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 2: and A and M. Probably you could, in theory be

251
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 2: if there was ever going to be a three loss

252
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: team to get in, it would be Texas. And Follower

253
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 2: actually talked about this a little bit on the broadcast today,

254
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 2: and the argument would be you'd either have a win

255
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 2: over Georgia or Texas A and M, and then you

256
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 2: did have a win earlier in the year against Oklahoma.

257
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: I do think that based on the other results today,

258
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 2: Oklahoma wins. They are now wins against you know, home

259
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 2: games against LSU and Missouri away from a ten to

260
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 2: two season. But Oklahoma wins, Ole, miss wins, A and

261
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 2: M wins. Even with Alabama's loss, I think there are

262
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: too many teams ahead of them in the SEC. Let

263
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 2: alone the fact that the Big Ten has what I

264
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: think four or five. I think they have five teams

265
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 2: now with zero, one or two losses if you include

266
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 2: Michigan and USC alongside Ohio State, Indiana and Oregon. Notre

267
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: Dame has two losses. This is all a long winded

268
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 2: way of me saying I don't know if you've even

269
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: had time to think about it or consider it where

270
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 2: I did. I did understand the argument of a three

271
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: loss Texas team, but I think it's not only that

272
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: Texas did not win today, but the results that they

273
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 2: probably needed did not work in their favor. Even if

274
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 2: they beat A and M, I think three losses, they're

275
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 2: probably pretty much eliminated at this point.

276
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, so here's my thought on it. And I did

277
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: actually think about it. When this game was clearly determined.

278
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: I said, they're just They're not a team I want

279
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: to see in a college football playoff that's my takeaway

280
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: from it. Like all of what you just said is

281
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: the nuts and bolts. Those are the facts. This is

282
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: just me from what I've seen this season. I just

283
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: don't think they look like a playoff team to me.

284
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: I don't think that they have proven that they deserve

285
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: an opportunity to play in a college football playoff. I

286
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: don't care who they've played and who they've lost to

287
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: and all this stuff, that defense and that offensive line,

288
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: and just they just haven't been good. The story about

289
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: them throughout the course of the year has not been

290
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: a positive one. I do not look at them and

291
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: say that they have earned the right, and I really

292
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: just don't want to see it. I'd rather somebody else

293
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: get an opportunity rather than just putting them in because

294
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: of where they were ranked at the beginning of the season.

295
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: I just I don't think they've distinguished themselves as a

296
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: team worthy of a college football playoff spot.

297
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

298
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: The other thing that's going to work against them, they

299
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 2: will obviously have, you know, either the worst loss or

300
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: one of the worst losses of any team in playoff

301
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 2: consideration with the Florida loss on the road, and by

302
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: the way, I think that kind of proves a point

303
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: I was thinking about this right now. Is Texas four

304
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: road games in the SEC, lost to a really bad

305
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: Florida team, overtime when against Kentucky, overtime win against Mississippi State,

306
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 2: blown out by Georgia tonight. So I think it does.

307
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 2: I think the bottom line is I think this has

308
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 2: basically eliminated them. And to your point, I think all

309
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: of these teams that are in contention have a look

310
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,960

313
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 2: the results that does impact Texas's standing is Oklahoma going

314
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: to Bama. By now, you know they won. Was it

315
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: pretty for Oklahoma? But they're nine eight and two, excuse me,

316
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 2: and very much in the playoff picture. What does it

317
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 2: mean for them as importantly, what does it mean for Bama?

339
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 2: the update on a couple intriguing notes late, we have

340
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 2: BYU up twenty three to three on TCU BYU rate

341
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 2: number twelve in the country and college football, and a

342
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 2: notable late college basketball score in overtime Minnesota and Doug

343
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 2: Gottlieb's Green Bay Phoenix. Green Bay trailing by two in

344
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 2: the barn in Minneapolis, trying to pull off an upset

345
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 2: over a top ten team. So we are monitoring our friend,

346
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 2: our colleague, Doug Gottlieb squad as they go for the

347
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 2: upset in Minneapolis. Speaking of upsets, Jay Mart, let me

348
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 2: actually actually ask you this, because Oklahoma beats Alabama twenty

349
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 2: three to twenty one. I want to break it all down.

350
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,479
Speaker 2: I will say I will give the general public credit

351
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 2: because it felt like this was kind of a game

352
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 2: that everybody had circled. Now, if you watch the game,

353
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 2: Alabama a significant yardage differential, that Oklahoma certainly took advantage

354
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: of three Alabama turnovers, including a pick six, But I

355
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 2: will say I'll give the public a little bit of credit.

356
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 2: It felt to me like this was one that people

357
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 2: had circled. Alabama. The offense hasn't really been clicking for

358
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 2: about two three games now. They get by LSU at

359
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 2: home last week, but Oklahoma pulls off the upset one.

360
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 2: I guess the point I'm trying to ask you the

361
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 2: question I'm trying to ask you, did you see the

362
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 2: world where this was coming, because it did feel like

363
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: over the course of the week a semi trendy upset pick.

364
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: I don't know that I saw it coming. I'm not

365
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: shocked buy it just because of what we have seen

366
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: and what you just laid out. I mean, look, they

367
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: beat number five Georgia, then number sixteen Vanderbilt, number fourteen Missouri,

368
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: then number eleven Tennessee in four back to back weeks,

369
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: and then went to South Carolina and won that game,

370
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: and then won against LSU. The only reason I mentioned

371
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: that is because I don't know that Missouri's a ranked team.

372
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm not sure Tennessee's a ranked team. South Carolina will

373
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: get to that, but they may not have a head coach.

374
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: And then LSU already fired their coach. Yep, And you

375
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 1: look at those wins. The Missouri game wasn't all that impressive.

376
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,959
Speaker 1: The South Carolina game obviously wasn't that impressive. And we

377
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: were on air last last week as the LSU Bama

378
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: game was ending, and the offense was very lethargic in

379
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: that game as well. So yeah, the Georgia win is

380
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: obviously a good one. The Florida State loss doesn't look

381
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: particularly good right now either. But I kind of just

382
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 1: look at all of it and I say, look, this

383
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: is a team that has a lot of talent on it,

384
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: but I'm.

385
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 2: Not sure how scary they are.

386
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 1: Yes, they have won a lot of games, but they

387
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: haven't looked particularly dominant in almost any of them. And

388
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: as the season has gone along, the teams that they

389
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: have beaten, they don't look as strong as they did

390
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: during that week, and a lot of times that's something

391
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: that gets factored in in the end. I'm not saying

392
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: Bama's not going to make the playoff. What I am

393
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: suggesting is they're gonna need to beat Auburn YEP, because

394
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: their resume is not quite as stacked as it might

395
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: have looked a month ago.

396
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we talked a minute ago about Texas as

397
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 2: a potential three loss team. If they were to somehow

398
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 2: beat Texas A and M, the wins probably wouldn't be there.

399
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,959
Speaker 2: Alabama all of a sudden goes from what do they

400
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 2: call it the cat birds seed. I don't even really

401
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 2: know what that means, but basically Alabama in position. Ironically,

402
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 2: they're still in position to make the SEC championship game.

403
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 2: They hold the they hold the tie break over Georgia.

404
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 2: So if they beat Auburn, not only are they going

405
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 2: to the playoff, they're going to the SEC championship game.

406
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 2: They lose that Auburn game, though, all of a sudden,

407
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 2: it just looks like a completely different deal for them.

408
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 2: Where nine and three, like you said, that Missouri win

409
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,719
Speaker 2: hasn't really held up by the way, like you know,

410
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 2: you have the head to a head win over Vandy.

411
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 2: What if Vandy finishes ten and two like that, that's

412
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 2: you know, that's a wildcard that probably people aren't talking about.

413
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 2: And so yeah, I don't know, it's just it's a

414
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 2: weird thing.

415
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: They're good. I just don't think they're great.

416
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 2: No, I agree, I agree, and I but I it's

417
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 2: just interesting because I think they have real flaws, and

418
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 2: I think they I think they've actually been exposed over

419
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks. Like like we were saying

420
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 2: that the LSU win, I think even last week we

421
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 2: were trying to figure out like how to contextualize it

422
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 2: on air, and there wasn't really you know, there really

423
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 2: wasn't much to say. Let me switch gears and ask

424
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 2: you about Oklahoma eight and two to two games left

425
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 2: against Missouri and LSU at home. You'd think they'd be

426
00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 2: considerable favorites there. Ten and two resume win over Alabama,

427
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 2: resume win over Michigan early in the year, which somehow

428
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 2: is eight and two, even though it's the ugliest dight

429
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 2: and two I've ever seen. But they also have losses

430
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 2: to Old miss UH and UH Texas, so I guess

431
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 2: the Texas last doesn't matter as much. But Oklahoma, you know,

432
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 2: I don't know what. I don't even know what there

433
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 2: is to say about them. I mean, I I don't

434
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 2: know that they're in in it at ten and two,

435
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 2: but it feels like they probably would be, so all

436
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 2: of a sudden, you just talk about I don't even

437
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 2: what am I even trying to say about this game?

438
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 2: Bottom line, you're trying.

439
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: To say the exact same thing that I just said

440
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: about Alabama. They're good, They're not great, sure, I mean

441
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: that that's what I think when I look at Oklahoma.

442
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: That offense is not not great. They're just no to

443
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: tier is very inconsistent at best. Their defense is all

444
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 1: world when they show up, it's very hard to move

445
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: the football on them. There've been a couple of times

446
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: when they haven't shown up and they've been beaten, or

447
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 1: you've got to have a really high octane offense. That

448
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: defense did not show up against Texas, but Matier was

449
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: coming back off the injury and probably shouldn't have been

450
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: in that game, and it didn't work out for them,

451
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: And then they lost to Ole Miss, and Ole Miss

452
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: scores a ton of points on just about everybody, so

453
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: you can almost understand that they have to outlast Tennessee.

454
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: But you know, Hypel's offenses are going to score a

455
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: lot of points. I think that they are held back

456
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: by a very pedestrian offense, a very untrustworthy offense. They

457
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 1: have an incredible defense, and I think that they are

458
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: well coached. I think their ceiling resides in an offense

459
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: that just is not I do not think that they

460
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: are consistent enough, even if they do end up making

461
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: the playoff, which at this point they certainly look like

462
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: they would. I mean, you beat Alabama and you have

463
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: that record, as long as you finish off with Missouri

464
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: and LSU, you should make the college football playoff. But

465
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: can you win it on defense? Now? Can you win

466
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: it on defense alone? And I don't know. I think

467
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: they're a worse version of what Penn State was last year.

468
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that. I like that.

469
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: Does that make sense?

470
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 2: Yes, at John Mattier occasionally because they don't.

471
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: Have the running game that Penn State had last year.

472
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 2: Yes, No, I think that's actually a very good analogy.

473
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 2: I think that's a very good analogy. And you know,

474
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 2: I think too as we get deeper into this playoff era,

475
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 2: I you know, almost like you know, high like in

476
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 2: college basketball, you'd be like, yeah, that's that's a Sweet

477
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: sixteen team. You know, that's a team that can make

478
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 2: it to the final that. I think that's where we're

479
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 2: gonna get to as we get more comfortable in this

480
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 2: playoff of like Oklahoma, great season, like probably you know,

481
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 2: listen by the way, they still got to beat LSU,

482
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: still gotta beat Missouri, so they still have worked.

483
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: But yeah, a good job by Brent Vinnables though, like

484
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: Vinables has turned it around there. He's done a good job.

485
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: Seems like he's a really likable guy. They like playing

486
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: for him. They've they've had a successful season. But you're right,

487
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: I think that's a perfect way to put it. A

488
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: Sweet sixteen team. Maybe they get lucky and find the

489
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: Elite eight, but that's probably their ceiling.

490
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, like they're a playoff team. But if they're the

491
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,719
Speaker 2: ten seed and they go to Oregon, I'm not feeling

492
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 2: good about their chances to win. So and by the way,

493
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 2: since yeah, you know what we might have, we might

494
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 2: have time to talk about the guy that Venables replaced,

495
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 2: who probably deserves a little bit of credit as well.

496
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 2: We'll save that for later in the hour. No sarcasm,

497
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 2: because he probably deserves a little bit of credit as well.

498
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 2: But we got to get to Steve Desager, and we

499
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: certainly got to talk about what happened in college station

500
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 2: this afternoon. So Disager, my man taken away, sir, how

501
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 2: are you doing well?

502
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: Thank you?

503
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 2: Did something happen in college station?

504
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, we will get.

505
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 1: Beamer got repossessed.

506
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 2: Oh that's good.

507
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 5: I like that.

508
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, you like that, don't you.

509
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 2: That's a great topic bar for if we got anybody

510
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 2: in TV production listening, steal that and put it on

511
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 2: your screen later tonight.

512
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 5: No nobody steals anything in television.

513
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 6: That will never happen. South Carolina one in seven in conference.

514
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 6: By the way, we do have four late games in

515
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,959
Speaker 6: college football. All the rain we saw at the USC

516
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 6: game is now descending on the San Diego State game.

517
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 6: It's I don't I don't mean to overstate this because

518
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 6: it's you know, it's rain. It's not snow that's blocking

519
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 6: freeways or anything. Let's not go crazy, people, But in

520
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 6: an area that does get much rain, it's not just

521
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 6: a rainstorm, it's what they call an atmospheric river where

522
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 6: if you if you look at the satellite photos on

523
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 6: the local news, it's a very long band of water

524
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 6: that will empty all of it on your reach.

525
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 2: And that was weather on the forest with Steve Desager.

526

569
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,280

00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 2: learned them from Dan Hurley and Jim Calhoun because I

571
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 2: was And by the way, then the game got good,

572
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: like Yukon was dominating, and then it was like a

573

Speaker 2: M comeback. USC is quietly in the playoff race and oh,

609
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 2: the two big ones in the SEC. Excuse me, Georgia,

610
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 2: no doubt about it. Against Texas thirty five to ten

611
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 2: is the final score? Oklahoma the stunner against Alabama twenty

612
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 2: three to twenty one, really quickly, j mart you mentioned

613
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 2: before the break Brent Vnnables. You know, gotta give him credit, man.

614
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 2: You know, back was kind of up against the wall.

615
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 2: Change the offense, change the quarterback, and admittedly, like quarterbacks,

616
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 2: probably not great. You know, I don't know that he's

617
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 2: gonna be at New York for the Heisman Trophy, but

618
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 2: Oklahoma gets the job done. I think we have to

619
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 2: at some point at least acknowledge a little bit the

620
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 2: guy who he replaced, Lincoln Riley, who the two on Saturday,

621
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 2: improved to eight and two. At usc they beat Iowa

622
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 2: twenty six to twenty one. I know that's not the

623
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 2: most incredible win ever, but USC is eight and two,

624
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 2: destroyed Michigan at home, beat Nebraska on the road, beat

625
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 2: Iowa at home, and is really kind of winning in

626
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 2: a Big ten style. Now. To be clear, they still

627
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 2: have at Oregon next week, and certainly if they beat

628
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 2: Oregon they're going to the College Football Playoff. I still

629
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 2: think nine to three and just outside the playoff is

630
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 2: most likely. We don't have to spend fifteen minutes on this,

631
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 2: but I just want to take a minute and say,

632
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 2: if we're going to criticize Lincoln Riley at every turn

633
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 2: for every little thing, we've probably got to give him

634
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 2: a little bit of credit here for the eight and

635
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 2: two season. Also worth noting, by the way, first loss

636
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 2: to the season Illinois, they had the lead in the

637
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 2: final minute and couldn't hold on, so easily could be

638
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 2: nine to one at this point in the season.

639
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean we've given him so much flack.

640
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: You actually sent this text to me and then I

641
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: just thought, yeah, that's a great call. Yeah, You've got

642
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: to give him his Flowers now because he's done a

643
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: good job and it's been very under the radar. Nobody's

644
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: paying attention to USC. They just keep winning games, and

645
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: they're winning games against teams and on the road in

646
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: places where Lincoln Raiway teams are not supposed to do

647
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: win games. And USC is supposed to have all this

648
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: culture shot going to the Big Ten, and all they're

649
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: doing is winning football games and doing so with toughness

650
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: and playing hard and outlasting teams that are known for

651
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: their toughness. So yeah, I mean, good on him. That's

652
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,239
Speaker 1: not something I think most were anticipating going into this

653
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: year that USC was going to be a talking point

654
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: on November fifteenth. But they are. And some other teams

655
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: that we thought for sure we were going to be

656
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: spending a ton of time on they have completely faded,

657
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: including one in that conference that is looking for a

658
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: new coach and their old coach maybe on their way

659
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: to a job.

660
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 2: Well, crap I was going to talk Texas A and

661
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 2: N but let's talk half a sex.

662
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: Still can he still can?

663
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 2: If you want, Well, let's talk James Franklin for half

664
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 2: a second. Sure, because I so, I'm on the West coast,

665
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 2: so I wake up, probably a little bit later than

666
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 2: you do, but I wake up. Turn on the phone today.

667
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 2: First thing I see Pete Thamil a very weirdly worded

668
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 2: tweet about James Franklin and Virginia Tech are in advanced discussions.

669
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 2: He's not the head coach. He might not be, but

670
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 2: he could be. Then I scrolled down a little bit.

671
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 2: Bruce Feldman essentially has the same tweet. Pete Nacos from

672
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 2: three essentially has the same tweet, And so Virginia Tech

673
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 2: and James Franklin some heavy flirting. Now. I have an

674
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 2: opinion as to why the reporting is the way that

675
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 2: it is. But right now, it does feel like James

676
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 2: Franklin and Virginia Tech, I don't know if they're on

677
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 2: the one yard line, feels like they're in the red

678
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 2: zone though, feels like he could be the next head coach.

679
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 2: Does not feel like anything is finalized though.

680
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think it would be a really

681
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: nice landing spot for him if this is where he goes.

682
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: I could see I see the sincident from Virginia Tech's perspective,

683
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: because Virginia Tech would love to become what Penn State was.

684
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: That's that eventually. There are some programs there that have

685
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: fallen so far off the map, but that are used

686
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: to at times winning big and they have a great tradition, right,

687
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,439
Speaker 1: but they have never really kind of found the mountaintop.

688
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Virginia Tech kind of flirted with it once

689
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: with Michael Vick, but that was really about it. But

690
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: outside of it, I mean, frank Beemer's a legend. It

691
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: was always hard to go to Blacksburg. It's a wonderful

692
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: college football environment with all kinds of tradition. Does that

693
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: remind you of, reminds you of Happy Valley, reminds you

694
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 1: of Penn State, remind you of what it's like when

695
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 1: that place is rock And I could see James Franklin

696
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: needing the change of scenery. But the biggest thing is

697
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech just needs to get back on the map again.

698
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: They need to be relevant again. They need to win

699
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: nine games again, that kind of thing. And Franklin's exactly

700
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: the guy to do that. And what has he learned

701
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: from his experiences at Penn State. Has he done any

702
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: soul searching at all over the past month or so

703
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: where he has seen the error and some of the

704
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: things that happened there, and maybe he can point back

705
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: to it, learn from it, and grow from it. I

706
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 1: think that's a bet worth taking if you're Virginia Tech.

707
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: And again, if you end up top fifteen somewhere in

708
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: that neighborhood top ten, I think that that's proven itself out.

709
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: I think nobody's ever said on this show as much

710
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: as we've talked about him being overrated, as much as

711
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: I have been on record about that. By overrated, that

712
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that he shouldn't be rated. It just means

713
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: that there is kind of I'm not sure he's a

714
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 1: national championship coach. He's going to need to prove me

715
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: wrong on that one. But can he win a lot

716
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: of football games? Yeah? He did it at Vanderbilt, he

717
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: did it at Penn State, and I think Virginia Tech

718
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: would be very smart as a matter of fact, to

719
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:53,280
Speaker 1: make that higher.

720
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Two quick things on James Franklin. One. First off,

721
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 2: I thought the reporting was interesting and my personal take,

722
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 2: if you read the tweets closely, it feels to me

723
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 2: like this was a report leaked by Virginia Tech. And

724
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 2: my thought process is he has probably indicated to them

725
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 2: that he's interested in their job. But it feels to

726
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 2: me like he's probably waiting to see if he can

727
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 2: quote unquote get something better. So that was my thought

728
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 2: on the tweets. It's like it felt like Virginia is

729
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 2: trying to or Virginia Tech is trying to squeeze him here.

730
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 2: So let's work under the assumption that he ends up there.

731
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: Though.

732
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 2: I'll say this a couple of things. One, I think

733
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 2: it's a home run for Virginia Tech for all the

734
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 2: reasons that you said. Just because he couldn't get over

735
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 2: the hump at Penn State doesn't mean he's incapable of

736
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 2: doing the job. As a matter of fact, he does

737
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 2: a lot of the things well. And oh, by the way,

738
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 2: if we get to it. First of all, there's no

739
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 2: Ohio State and Peake Michigan in the acc right now,

740
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 2: so there's that part of it. The other thing I

741
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 2: would say is if you get to the point where

742
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 2: you're consistently ted and two but can't beat whoever's atop

743
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 2: the conference, I think Virginia Tech will take that. The

744
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 2: other thing I will say, if it is Virginia Tech,

745
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 2: you know who's the biggest loser in all this is

746
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 2: freaking Penn State because he's in the same region, a

747
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 2: lot of the same recruiting ties, and like, I don't know,

748
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 2: you know how many players he'll win head to head

749
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 2: against Penn State, But that is not a guy who

750
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 2: has dominated that region in recruiting that I want in

751
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 2: my backyard with a chip on his shoulder. And so

752
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens with Virginia Tech. Like I said,

753
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 2: I think he is trying to hold on as long

754
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 2: as he can to see if anything else either opens

755
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 2: or if he's maybe a candidate. You know, we haven't

756
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 2: talked about the fact that Old Miss won tonight, so

757
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 2: you know Ole Miss, you know they're going to the

758
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 2: college football playoffs, So what if they go to the playoff?

759
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 2: Does Florida wait until Lane Kiffin season is done? I

760
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 2: just bring it up because that's kind of the James

761
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 2: Franklin take that I have. It feels like he's trying

762
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 2: to stroke long arm Oh Miss into maybe or a

763
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 2: strong arm Virginia Tech into seeing how long he can

764
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 2: leverage them to see what else is out there really quick.

765
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 2: I think we'd be remiss if we did not talk

766
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 2: about a thirty to three comeback from the Texas A

767
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 2: and m Aggie's first biggest comeback in school history. Jamart,

768
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 2: what was the stat oh and two eighty six was

769
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 2: at the number eighty six?

770
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, since two thousand and four. Yeah it was. There

771
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: were two hundred and eighty six games played with a

772
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: twenty seven point lead. No SEC team had lost in

773
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: a situation like that, and that streak came to an

774
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: end courtesy of Texas A and M on Saturday against

775
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: South Carolina.

776
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't know what else there really is to add. Well,

777
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 2: I do know what is there, by the way, a couple.

778
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: Things speaking of losers. By the way, if James Franklin

779
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: takes the Virginia Tech job, it might be the guy

780
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: who needs a job out of South Carolina.

781
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 2: Well, I'll say this, by the way, we might have

782
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 2: to extend this to We'll just start at the top

783
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 2: of the hour with it. Mike Elko got another extension today.

784
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 2: I did see the Kurt Signetti pushback of here we

785
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 2: go again with another big extension for A and M.

786
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 2: It's like he's ten and zero at A and M.

787
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: They're undefeated.

788
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 2: Man, what are we talking about? I'll tell you of it.

789
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 2: We got we got another two hours. We could talk Texas,

790
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 2: A and M on the other side, But there are

791
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 2: so many takeaways from the A and M perspective, from

792
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 2: the South Carolina perspective. But A and M sec teams

793
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 2: ozer and two eighty six. When trailing by that many points,

794
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 2: A and M comes back to win. I don't know

795
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 2: if you have about a minute of content in you,

796
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 2: j Mart, but what a comeback for the Aggies.

797
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's phenomenal, it really was. I mean, Marcel

798
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: Reid was absolutely awful when the first half can do

799
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: anything right, and then just in the third quarter alone,

800
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: it felt like he had seventeen Heisman moments like it

801
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: just it got completely. It was weird because as soon

802
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,479
Speaker 1: as A and M scored the first touchdown, I said,

803
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 1: you know, and I sent this text to you as

804
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,280
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, right before the half, I said,

805
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: Texas and M might come back and win this, but

806
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't look good. That actually sounds pretty much right

807
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: because I didn't give up on them. I wanted to

808
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: see a little bit more. Even though that thing looked

809
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 1: awful in the first half. This team, there's not a

810
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: lot of teams that are gonna come back from that.

811
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, nobody any SEC did. Credit

812
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 1: to them, Credit to the offense and the defense. Credit

813
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: to Elko for not letting them quit like that. Right

814
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: there was incredibly impressive for them to come back and

815
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 1: win that game.

816
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're another team with that win. I don't really Well,

817
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 2: they do play Sanford next week. If they lose to Sanford,

818
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 2: then whatever we'll talk about. They feel like they've clinched

819
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 2: a playoff spot. I think the only question right now

820
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 2: will they go to their first SEC championship game. More

821
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 2: college football, Fox Sports Radio Welcome in everybody, hour two

822
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 2: towards Martin. Fox Sports Radio. We are broadcasting live from

823
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 2: the Fox Sports Radio studios. Yes, we are live at

824
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 2: midnight Eastern time. A lot to react to. Goodness, gracious,

825
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 2: what a day across the world of college football. The

826
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,240
Speaker 2: SEGA just told you. But Oklahoma pulls off the stunner

827
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 2: at Alabama, Georgia takes care of business against Texas, and

828
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 2: a historic comeback for A and M, which trailed thirty

829
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,879
Speaker 2: to three at halftime and rally to win. Oh by

830
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 2: the way, USC improves to eight and two, Michigan improves

831
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 2: to eight and two. Notre it Am improves to eight

832
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 2: and two. We're shaping up for a really fun final

833
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 2: couple weeks of the college football season. By the way,

834
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 2: J Mart interesting, you know, we talked about it last hour.

835
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 2: But USC and Oregon I think will probably be the

836
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 2: headline game next week, a de facto playoff game. If

837
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 2: USC were to win that, I think they'd be in.

838
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 2: If they're not, Oregon probably would basically clinch a spot there.

839
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, oh man, that's a that's I don't know

840
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: that we saw that when coming. But hey man, PAC

841
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: twelve is alive.

842
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 2: Okay. I had a very obscure thought during the un

843
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,399
Speaker 2: Iowa game, and I want you to seriously think about this.

844
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm a king of obscure thoughts. So yeah, bring it off.

845
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 2: Because when all the expansion happened, I said like, like,

846
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 2: like what, And I go back to the day that

847
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 2: Texas and Oklahoma it was first reported that they were

848
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 2: trying to leave for the SEC, and I said, why

849
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 2: would Arkansas, Vandy, South Carolina, Kentucky, whoever, why would they

850
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 2: ever vote for this? Because all it does is, you know,

851
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 2: knock you two more pegs down the pecking order in

852
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 2: the in the SEC. And I bring it up because

853
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 2: I was thinking this watching USC beat Iowa. Iowa the

854
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 2: last two weeks has lost to USC and Oregon, and

855
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 2: if USC and Oregon aren't in the Big Ten, those

856
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 2: two games become whoever. You know, maybe it becomes Ohio State,

857
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 2: but maybe it becomes a Rutgers, maybe it becomes whoever.

858
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 2: So the obscure thought was how many we were going

859
00:42:58,719 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 2: to go to a twelve team playoffs?

860
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: Point?

861
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 2: Anyway, how many teams have actually benefited from conference realignment

862
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 2: and conference expansion in the manner that it has now

863
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 2: really quickly? Before I give you my answer, I thought

864
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 2: about it. I could really only think of a few,

865
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 2: and I think you could argue that outside of the

866
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 2: Big Twelve, which is now softer at the top without

867
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 2: Texas and Oklahoma, it's just the truth. Like I think

868
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 2: conference realignment benefited Texas Tech, probably BYU, which wasn't in

869
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 2: a conference and now is, and maybe like one or

870
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 2: two everybody else, like the path is just harder. And

871
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 2: I don't want to say like it's it was unnecessary,

872
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 2: but like Texas and Oklahoma, life was better in the

873
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 2: Big Twelve, even though you made less money, Alabama life

874
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 2: was easier when Texas and Oklahoma weren't in your league.

875
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe Ohio State hasn't impacted. But like, I just

876
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 2: I think it like the money was great, and I

877
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 2: guess as consumers, like it's awesome that we get Oregon

878
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 2: Michigan in all this, but like for the actually, I

879
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 2: don't know, I just I don't think it's actually on

880
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 2: the field benefited anybody except for a very very very

881
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,399
Speaker 2: select few teams. That was my obscure thought the day

882
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 2: throughout the day.

883
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 1: Now, I mean, I think that's probably right. I think

884
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: that it benefits the conference from a money standpoint, so

885
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: the television deals and the partners that kind of works out.

886
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: And I think the only way that you can make

887
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 1: sense of it is because of the twelve team playoff

888
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 1: that they keep wanting to expand, like it explains it perfectly,

889
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: because there would be no reason why you would want

890
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: this unless there were more slots to get you in

891
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 1: in the first place, which is why you're seeing teams

892
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: say we need to have sixteam, we need to have

893
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 1: twenty four. All this because they're getting a benefit from

894
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: the financial standpoint, but they now have more potential built

895
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 1: in losses because there's better teams within those conferences, So

896
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: there is a financial gain. But I don't think if

897
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: there's a four team playoff, there's no way we're seeing

898
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: this because there's no reason for it. But because we

899
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: have this larger field and probably continuing to grow field.

900
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: This is why it works, because the new business of

901
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 1: college football has opened the floodgates to the postseason in

902
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 1: a way where you can get knocked down just a

903
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: little bit but still have a better shot than you

904
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: would have otherwise.

905
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. And I will say, and at this part I

906
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 2: have said time and time again, is that I was

907
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 2: anti expansion of the college football playoff. I just kind

908
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 2: of felt like, by the end of the year, you

909
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 2: get to two or three teams that really have a

910
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 2: chance to win it. I do think it's been a

911
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 2: net positive for college football. And I also think too,

912
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 2: I don't think when they expanded the playoff, I could

913
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 2: have seen, you know, how flat the top of college

914
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 2: football has really gotten, where you know, there's really no

915
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:58,399
Speaker 2: separating Like I don't think you can definitively say there

916
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,320
Speaker 2: is a best team in the SEC. I think depending

917
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 2: on the Saturday, you could make the argument for four

918
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 2: or five different teams. Big Ten's a little bit different

919
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 2: with Ohio State at the top. But yeah, no, i

920
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 2: expansion has been a net positive. But yeah, man, it's

921
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 2: like I think Alabama's thrilled that Oklahoma and Texas are

922
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 2: in that league. No, you think Iowa is thrilled that

923
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,840
Speaker 2: USC and Oregon just gave them back to back losses. No,

924
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 2: but it is what it is. It's the new world

925
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 2: of college football. And and yeah, so anyway.

926
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 1: It's winners and losers. And generally it's the schools that

927
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: were already winners. Yeah, and then you've had some that

928
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 1: were sort of fringe performers. They're the ones that have

929
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:43,320
Speaker 1: been hurt. There's your Iowa. Maybe the biggest example is Wisconsin. Yeah,

930
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: like Wisconsin's falling off the map. But Wisconsin used to

931
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: be penciled in to get drubbed in the Big Ten

932
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: championship game seemingly every year. Now they can't win four

933
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: games and no one talks about them at all, and you're, oh, yeah,

934
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: they're still in the Big Ten and you see them

935
00:46:57,719 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 1: and you think it should matter, and then they get

936
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: blown out of another and you remember, yeah, it's not

937
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 1: the same. It's just not the same. It doesn't help

938
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: a team like Nebraska either, Like those are the teams

939
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 1: that get harmed the most.

940
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean listen, we just talked about it

941
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 2: in a minute ago with South Carolina. You know, whether

942
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 2: Shane Biemer gets fired this year, whether he tries to

943
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 2: get another job, whether he's on the hot seat going

944
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 2: against next year. Like, well, I'm just saying like that's

945
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 2: the perfect example of a team that it's just like, like,

946
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 2: you know, the truth of it is, honestly, is that

947
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 2: it's the school presidents that make these decisions. And the

948
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 2: school presidents generally don't care about sports, and they just

949
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 2: see a dollar figure and they're like, oh cool, we

950
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,439
Speaker 2: make another twenty five million or fifty million or whatever

951
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 2: the number is a year. Okay, sign me up. Where

952
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, but I think South Carolina is

953
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 2: like the perfect example of stuff kind of basically had

954
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 2: to break right for them, you know, Like like even

955
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 2: with Shane Beemer, like I understand what you're saying about him.

956
00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 2: I kind of think in this new era, they're just

957
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 2: like a six and sixteen every year, and sometimes they'll

958
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 2: be things will break right and they'll have this and

959
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 2: they'll have that, and they'll be nine and three or

960
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 2: eight and four. But I just think that's kind of

961
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 2: who they are, and I just think they, like they Vanderbilt, whoever, Wisconsin, Iowa,

962
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 2: have just made the pathway unnecessarily tougher for themselves and

963
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 2: doesn't matter to me, you know. But but yes, it's great.

964
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 2: You know, it's awesome for the school president or the

965
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 2: ad that gets an extra zero on his check. But like,

966
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 2: I just think for a lot of these fan bases

967
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 2: and schools, it's been a net negative. That's the only

968
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 2: point I'm trying to make.

969
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,879
Speaker 1: So, yeah, I think that's right. I do think that's right,

970
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 1: But you know that's I don't think it's gonna Obviously,

971
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 1: it's not gonna change. And as we see more expansion,

972
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: what you're saying about South Carolina being a six and sixteen, Yeah,

973
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 1: but when you do come into the season with the

974
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: Hogsman Trophy candidate quarterback, whether that was legit or not,

975
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: they had talent all over the field. They're a nine

976
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 1: and nine and fourteen a year ago, and now they're

977
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: not going to make a bowl. They've won one game

978
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 1: in conference and then they had a historic collapse in

979
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: front of a nationwide audience. Today. I don't know that

980
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: that's instilling a lot of confidence in a school that

981
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 1: I think always believes they're really really close to being something.

982
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: It just stuff's looking rough around there. I'm not I

983
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: won't be shocked if Beember does not coach another game there.

984
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding you. I don't know that they would

985
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: do that now, but that seat has got to be

986
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 1: incredibly hot at this point, and maybe the beginning of

987
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 1: this year. I mean, they just extended him to twenty thirty,

988
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 1: so it was buyout. It's like twenty eight mil. But

989
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: at this point, you're seeing schools willing to pay that money.

990
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: You're seeing people within those schools willing to pay that

991
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 1: money because they understand how fast things can turn because

992
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: of NIL, because of the transfer portal and all those

993
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: kinds of things. So the leashes are longer because you

994
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to make the playoff because there's an

995
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: expanded group. But then alasias are pulled back because the

996
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 1: money is not nearly as much of an object for

997
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 1: those that are actually trying to win, and the expectations

998
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,280
Speaker 1: are higher and the pressure is greater in these schools

999
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: because of what you just said. The Texas, Oklahoma's, the

1000
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 1: us sees, the Oregans, those kind of schools, Like everything

1001
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:22,399
Speaker 1: has completely changed. Like if my dad was still with us,

1002
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 1: I don't know that he would fully grasp this compared

1003
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: to the football that he watched thirty years ago. Football

1004
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: I watched thirty years ago.

1005
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 2: Football we watched like four years ago. Yeah, LSU just

1006
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,839
Speaker 2: steamrolling everybody to fifteen and oh, like, I don't know

1007
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 2: that we're gonna see that very much anymore. So all right,

1008
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 2: let's go ahead, switch gears really quickly. We'll get to

1009
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,800
Speaker 2: some NFL stuff over the next couple hours. We're on

1010
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 2: until two am Eastern. Adam Oslin follows us Bernie frattle

1011
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 2: out this evening real quick. You know, we're gonna spend

1012
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 2: a little bit more time on this. I don't know

1013
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 2: that it necessarily warrants it. But New England Patriots Thursday

1014
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 2: Night Football take care of business against the New York Jets.

1015
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:04,479
Speaker 2: I don't think we have to break down the game.

1016
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:07,280
Speaker 2: The Jets are kind of bad. Don't know if you've heard,

1017
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 2: you know, if if you haven't heard, just listen to

1018
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 2: anytime they put a mic in front of Woody Johnson,

1019
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 2: because he's not afraid to tell you how bad his

1020
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 2: team and quarterback are. But Patriots nine and two. Patriots

1021
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 2: nine and two. They have won eight in a row.

1022
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 2: Their last loss was way back in Week three, and

1023
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,919
Speaker 2: they're playing some some really inspired football. And I guess

1024
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 2: I would just ask, and we were talking about this,

1025
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 2: I think you can argue two things, both of them accurately.

1026
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 2: On the Patriots, that they're the best story in football,

1027
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 2: going from last place last year top five pick where

1028
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 2: they take Will Campbell, to that they're the best story

1029
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 2: in college in the NFL because of the turnaround. I

1030
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 2: think also if you're a Dolphins fan, if you're a

1031
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 2: Jets fan, or if you just could not stand the

1032
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 2: Patriots dynasty, I think you get also argued it's the

1033
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 2: worst story in the NFL because with Drake May and

1034
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 2: Mike Vrabel, Yeah, they're probably not winning six Super Bowls,

1035
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 2: but they are clearly going to be a factor pretty much,

1036
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 2: I would assume for the next decade plus. Where do

1037
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 2: you stand on the Patriots, who seemed to be hitting

1038
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 2: another stretch where they are going to be an absolute

1039
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:20,320
Speaker 2: terror for everyone in the NFL.

1040
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm less surprised by this than a lot,

1041
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 1: but that's again because I do this show from Nashville

1042
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 1: and I covered Mike Rabel's entire tenure as head coach

1043
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 1: on a day to day basis, and this is what

1044
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: he did. I mean, he turned Ryan Tannehill into a

1045
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 1: guy that was quarterback for the number one seed in

1046
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: the AFC. Yes, they rode the back of Derrick Henry,

1047
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 1: but that season Derrick Henry was hurt. As a matter

1048
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 1: of fact, that game that he came back that they

1049
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 1: lost in a playoffs, that was his first game since

1050
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: he had got knocked out of the Colts game very

1051
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 1: early in the season. But Vrabel has done this forever.

1052
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 1: I heard Jason Smith say this on his program a

1053
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 1: couple of days ago, and he's one hundred percent right.

1054
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 1: Like he's talking about what Mike Rabel has done with

1055
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: less talent than some of these other teams, and what

1056
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: he's done in New England. That's what he's done his

1057
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,839
Speaker 1: whole career as a head coach. This is what he

1058
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: is known for. There are things you could knock Verbel

1059
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,399
Speaker 1: for and when they happen, I'll be sure to tell

1060
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 1: you Aaron and say, hey, look, this is also some

1061
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 1: things that we saw. But this dude gets a lot

1062
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: out of his teams. He asks a lot of them

1063
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 1: as well. He practices them incredibly difficult. They're different, Their

1064
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:34,400
Speaker 1: practices are tough, man, They're hard. Honestly, might be one

1065
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 1: of the reasons why the Titans were injured as hard

1066
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: as they were, So keep that in mind as you

1067
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,720
Speaker 1: watch the Patriots. But this should not be a shock

1068
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 1: if you watched him. But we already saw last year

1069
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:49,839
Speaker 1: what Drake made could be. We saw it on a really,

1070
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 1: really bad team that was going absolutely nowhere, but you

1071
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,320
Speaker 1: knew the pieces were there. And the reason is because

1072
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 1: Vrabel wasn't going to walk into a spot where there

1073
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 1: was no chance, because he had opportunities, and this is

1074
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: the one he chose. This one made the most sense

1075
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 1: because of where he had played and his heart being

1076
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 1: there and everything else. But it was a perfect marriage.

1077
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 1: It's a great story. Probably the three best stories if

1078
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 1: you want to look at it from a positive standpoint

1079
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 1: this year would be the Patriots, another one that you

1080
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: mentioned to me, the Seahawks, and then the third one

1081
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 1: I think is probably the Cults, maybe to a little

1082
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 1: bit of a lesser degree, and then the Giants, which

1083
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,359
Speaker 1: I think we might get to a little bit later.

1084
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 1: A story that was trending to be really really good.

1085
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 1: But we'll see. But I think that the Patriots thing

1086
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 1: is just an amazing story and it shows again what

1087
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:42,399
Speaker 1: it looks like when you have a very competent head

1088
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:46,839
Speaker 1: coach that makes really really good in game decisions and

1089
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback that can actually play. Those are two factors

1090
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 1: that really turn it up. And let's not forget they

1091
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:58,359
Speaker 1: did go Grabstefon Diggs, and Diggs is out there making

1092
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: plays because he's got a quarterback that he really likes,

1093
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 1: and he's got a situation that he likes, and he

1094
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 1: looks like there's a little bit of a rebirth to

1095
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 1: a career that maybe look like it was starting to

1096
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 1: trend in the wrong direction. So it's just been a

1097
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: great It was just it was a great hire. It

1098
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 1: was a great offseason for the Patriots, and they've put

1099
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 1: themselves in a position where they matter again. Do I

1100
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,359
Speaker 1: think they're going to the Super Bowl this year? Absolutely?

1101
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 1: I do not. I don't, But this step should terrify

1102
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 1: everybody because this is not going to be the best

1103
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,319
Speaker 1: that it gets for New England. Now, maybe nine to

1104
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 1: two is, but in terms of what they're ceiling is

1105
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 1: I absolutely think this team can win a Super Bowl

1106
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 1: over the next five years.

1107
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me ask you actually real quick, do you

1108
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 2: think that we're being caught up in the moment and

1109
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 2: overstating it considering this is still the conference of Patrick Mahomes,

1110
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:55,799
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, Justin Herbert, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, on and on.

1111
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 2: In other words, like, yes, I understand that to varying degrees,

1112
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 2: basically all of those teams that I mentioned are struggling,

1113
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 2: but that maybe it's almost like a perfect storm where

1114
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 2: everything is going right for the Patriots at a time

1115
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 2: where all of those teams are dealing with their own issues.

1116
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 2: Or do you think that you know this is something

1117
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 2: that's kind of sustainable long term?

1118
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, we're going to see. But they won

1119
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 1: at Buffalo, they won at Tampa Bay. Those are two

1120
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:26,319
Speaker 1: pretty nice wins. I think that. I mean, to your point,

1121
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:28,360
Speaker 1: some of the guys that you named haven't made a

1122
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl either. Justin Herbert, we're still waiting to see

1123
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 1: him do anything in the playoffs as of yet, with

1124
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:37,799
Speaker 1: all due respect to the talent that he possesses, those

1125
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:39,759
Speaker 1: teams haven't really done very much. When we got to

1126
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: the postseason, we already know what the narrative is on

1127
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:46,360
Speaker 1: the bills. We don't care until January. We already know

1128
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 1: what the narrative is on Lamar and the Ravens at

1129
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 1: this point too, like get to a Super Bowl. So

1130
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:54,280
Speaker 1: all those guys are still trending to do the exact

1131
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 1: same thing. They're trying to do what Patrick Mahomes and

1132
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:00,800
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow have managed to do. Burrow once Patrick Mahomes

1133
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: about eight hundred thousand, five hundred times over this past stretch.

1134
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 1: But I think that you don't want to overreact because

1135
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:14,479
Speaker 1: there's still, you know, several games left and they maybe

1136
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: they're going to hit a wall, right, it's very very possible.

1137
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: It's I think this is more about what you see

1138
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 1: for the future of the franchise as they continue to build.

1139
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 1: They need another couple of good off seasons, but they

1140
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 1: have the pieces in place on the sidelines. Josh McDaniels

1141
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 1: doing his thing again doesn't need to be understated either.

1142
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 1: His play calling has been exceptional. He's really maximizing Drake

1143
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: May Then you've got the quarterback, then you've got the

1144
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: head coach. So I think this is more maybe more

1145
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 1: about the future and being excited about what is to

1146
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 1: come than maybe today but they're absolutely going to be

1147
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 1: a factor. They're going to be a team that likely

1148
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 1: is not going to beat themselves. You're going to have

1149
00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 1: to go and beat them.

1150
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 2: Don't know what else there is to add great story?

1151
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not one like I told you last week,

1152
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 2: I'm not one that because the Patriots had that incredible

1153
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 2: twenty year run that it's like, Oh, I can't celebrate

1154
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 2: something cool, something new, something fun, and something that I think,

1155
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 2: frankly is pretty sustainable. Fox Sports Radio Air Toors Jason Martin,

00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,560

1175
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 1: to F one in Vegas.

1176
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 2: Oh that's a Bernie question, you know.

1177
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: I need to find a way to go. I mean,

1178
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm dying to see an F one race in person.

1179
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:34,600
Speaker 1: I know that that's a tough thing to do, but oh,

1180
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:36,439
Speaker 1: I want to see one, and going to Vegas would

1181
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:37,960
Speaker 1: not be a bad way to do it.

1182
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 7: Jamar, let me know if you do that, because I'm

1183
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 7: also going to be in Vegas during that weekend watching

1184
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 7: Raiders brown So if you have a guy to get

1185
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 7: tickets for that.

1186
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:46,600
Speaker 1: You let me know. Raiders Browns.

1187
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 7: I'm unfortunately a Browns fan if you can't remember.

1188
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 2: Fun fact, I'm also going to Vegas next week after

1189
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:57,440
Speaker 2: our show, which is after the race, but there's a

1190
00:59:57,440 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 2: basketball tournament there, so so I mean if you go,

1191
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 2: I mean, if you go Saturday, I can scoot out Saturday.

1192
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 2: You'll probably want to go to the race, though, Swich

1193
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 2: will be going on during our show, so I'm guessing

1194
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 2: it wouldn't make much sense to come out early.

1195
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't think that. I'm I'm probably one

1196
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 1: week's notice. I have the thousands of dollars it requires.

1197
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 2: On one week's notice when your daughter's taking her first steps.

1198
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, yeah, it's probably not a thing.

1199
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 2: Probably not this year. What do you mean Vegas? More

1200
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 2: of a twenty twenty six type things? Guys, come on,

1201
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 2: all right, this this show's I think daughter.

1202
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:31,960
Speaker 1: I think daughter wins that that fight has.

1203
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 2: To Yes, all right, well I'll tell you what I do.

1204

Speaker 2: Disaga will be back in just a moment or two

1260
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 2: of his extended update. But this is Fox Sports Radio,

1261
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Saturday into Sunday air towards Jason Martin. We

1262
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 2: are broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. Do

1263
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 2: want to stay on the topic of not only the NFL,

1264
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:53,880
Speaker 2: but the AFC East. We mentioned it a minute ago.

1265
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 2: The New England Patriots sitting at nine and two, very

1266
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 2: comfortably atop the AFC East. They have basically I don't

1267
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 2: even know how to do the math here one game

1268
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 2: lead in the win column, but they have the tiebreaker

1269
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 2: over Buffalo. It's not really about a standings thing. It's

1270
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:13,760
Speaker 2: about a fact that the Buffalo Bills are six and

1271
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 2: three right now, coming off of the loss to the Dolphins,

1272
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 2: two and three in their last five overall. J Mart,

1273
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 2: you know, there's a take somebody in the media said this,

1274
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 2: and I don't. I can't. I think it might have

1275
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 2: been Nick Wright. I would give him credit if I'm

1276
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 2: positive it was him, but I think it was him.

1277
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 2: But he said, there's three types of takes. There's takes

1278
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 2: that you're dead right on. There's takes that you're dead

1279
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 2: wrong on, and there's takes that you end up being

1280
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 2: right on. It just takes you a little bit longer

1281
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 2: than you wanted. I've been basically calling for Sean mcdermot's

1282
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 2: head for about three years now. I just think the

1283
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:56,960
Speaker 2: playoff losses at some points, Josh Allen's prime is only

1284
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 2: gonna last so long, and seaw Dermott coaches tight in

1285
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,600
Speaker 2: the playoffs. I've never been a fan. I said, I

1286
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 2: think three losses to the Chiefs Ago, maybe it was

1287
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 2: even the loss to the Bengals, I can't remember. They're

1288
01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:11,760
Speaker 2: never gonna get over the hump with him. Well, I

1289
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:14,880
Speaker 2: bring it up because you can take this where you want.

1290
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 2: But when you're I think all you need to know

1291
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 2: you beat the Chiefs and then immediately lose to the Dolphins.

1292
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 2: You also have that embarrassing loss to the Falcons a

1293
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:28,959
Speaker 2: few weeks ago. I don't think McDermott's messages is getting through.

1294
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 2: And I think what I see is a team that

1295
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 2: can get itself up for big games, but the in

1296
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:40,920
Speaker 2: between games that the Patriots are showing up for that

1297
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,480
Speaker 2: the Lions are, you know, the teams that are well

1298
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 2: coached that everybody. I think the McDermott thing, he's got

1299
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:49,160
Speaker 2: about a half a season to prove it to me.

1300
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 2: I think that with this team, this roster, this moment

1301
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 2: in time, Josh Allen Square in his prime, you can't

1302
01:05:57,080 --> 01:06:00,080
Speaker 2: be finishing second in the AFC East. You can't. Are

1303
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 2: you losing to bad teams? And if this isn't the

1304
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 2: year you make the playoff run, I really think they've

1305
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 2: got to make a move after this season.

1306
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:08,919
Speaker 1: So we have shared this take now for a couple

1307
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:11,280
Speaker 1: of years now. The only question I would have just

1308
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:13,480
Speaker 1: to play devil's advocate even though I tend to agree

1309
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 1: with you, is who are you going to go hire?

1310
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:22,680
Speaker 1: Because that then becomes I think the next question the Bills.

1311
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:28,440
Speaker 1: It's so crazy what we do and what our peers do,

1312
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:31,439
Speaker 1: having to have a take day after day after day

1313
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:34,880
Speaker 1: after day after day, week after week. It's something different

1314
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 1: with the Bills. They're either the best team you've ever

1315
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 1: seen or what's happened here. Chiefs are the same way.

1316
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 1: Chiefs are. I've seen this before. The Chiefs do this

1317
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 1: all the time, like we overreact almost because we have to,

1318
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,200
Speaker 1: because we have to react to what we see. But

1319
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 1: at the same time, we're trying to find something novel

1320
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 1: but also something like wow to say in these moments,

1321
01:06:55,760 --> 01:07:00,120
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's not there. The Bills are going to

1322
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:04,080
Speaker 1: be determined, and you basically said this. I already said, like,

1323
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 1: you can talk about the Bills all you want. I

1324
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:09,120
Speaker 1: don't care until January. I just don't win or lose,

1325
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 1: whether they're undefeated or whether they go in as a

1326
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 1: wild card. If they don't win the super Bowl, it's

1327
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 1: been a failure at the very least get to the

1328
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 1: super Bowl. Like we cannot continue to do this. And

1329
01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 1: I don't think that it's Allen's fault. I think Allen

1330
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 1: has at times he hasn't been great this year. At

1331
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 1: times he's been otherworldly this year. James Cook has run

1332
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 1: the ball very effectively for them. The defense has been

1333
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 1: a bit spotty, of course, you know Sean McDermott may

1334
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 1: to say is a defensive coordinator, of course, But in

1335
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:45,480
Speaker 1: terms of McDermott, maybe his ceiling is a great regular

1336
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:49,720
Speaker 1: season and an exit before you should see one in

1337
01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And we said that before. I would just say, like,

1338
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 1: who are you gonna go? And get that's gonna fix

1339
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 1: the problem. And because I don't know that they're an

1340
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:02,640
Speaker 1: undiscible team, I don't know a lot of those things.

1341
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:06,240
Speaker 1: But I'm not a huge Sean McDermott fan either. I

1342
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 1: just don't know the answer. I don't know what the

1343
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:12,520
Speaker 1: fix is. From a coaching standpoint, that's gonna give you

1344
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:16,360
Speaker 1: what you don't have. Is there anybody you have in mind?

1345
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:18,759
Speaker 2: I mean, I would just promote Joe Brady. Joe Brady's

1346
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:20,960
Speaker 2: gonna be a head coach at some point, and I

1347
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 2: get it, never been a head coach all that, And

1348
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 2: by the way, internally, I would hope that you would

1349
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 2: know if he's a legitimate candidate or not, and maybe

1350
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:32,639
Speaker 2: he's not. I just you know, And again to your point,

1351
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:36,080
Speaker 2: it is week eleven right now, we're nine games through

1352
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 2: the regular season, which means we essentially have half of

1353
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:41,280
Speaker 2: the regular season left. And I should mention they're one

1354
01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 2: game back in the lost column. They do still pay

1355
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 2: the play the Patriots. Excuse me, and I would say,

1356
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:52,639
Speaker 2: you know, the schedule breaks down pretty nicely for them

1357
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:54,439
Speaker 2: in the back half. Now they have the quick turnaround.

1358
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 2: They play this coming Thursday in Houston, but Bengals on

1359
01:08:58,320 --> 01:09:00,760
Speaker 2: the back half, I don't know if Joe Burrow. I

1360
01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:02,360
Speaker 2: don't think Joe Burro will be back for that game.

1361
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:04,000
Speaker 2: Maybe he will be who knows, you know with that,

1362
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:06,720
Speaker 2: but they do still play the Patriots. They do still

1363
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:09,639
Speaker 2: play the Browns. They do still play the Jets again,

1364
01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:12,679
Speaker 2: the Eagles. The Eagles themselves are kind of a week

1365
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 2: two week team. We'll see what we get out of

1366
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:16,479
Speaker 2: them this weekend or on Monday or you know, this

1367
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 2: weekend against Detroit. But I just I don't know. I

1368
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:21,880
Speaker 2: get the notion of who are you going to get?

1369
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 2: That's better? I would also counter with the definition of

1370
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 2: insanity is doing the same thing over and over and

1371
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 2: expecting a difference.

1372
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a change of scenery thing. Yeah, maybe it's

1373
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 1: another situation where, look, he's still a pretty good coach,

1374
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:36,880
Speaker 1: but he's done all he can do here. We need

1375
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:38,920
Speaker 1: to we need to get some fresh blood in and

1376
01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:40,680
Speaker 1: try something. And I'm fine with that. I was just

1377
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:43,439
Speaker 1: curious if you had a name, because he has had

1378
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:46,000
Speaker 1: a lot of success there. If you let him go,

1379
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:48,840
Speaker 1: then you are suggesting that Josh Allen's been the reason

1380
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:51,680
Speaker 1: for the for the success, Sean McDermott has been the

1381
01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:55,160
Speaker 1: reason for the failure. There's probably an extreme take on

1382
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:57,880
Speaker 1: both sides of those that is not accurate, but I

1383
01:09:58,000 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 1: tend to think that it is far more the core

1384
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:02,800
Speaker 1: back then it is the coach, and maybe I'm now

1385
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 1: electing to go that direction more often than not because

1386
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:08,320
Speaker 1: of what I saw with Tom Brady once he got

1387
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 1: to Tampa Bay.

1388
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:13,080
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this. If they were to let's

1389
01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 2: say they made a deep playoff run that doesn't include

1390
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:18,880
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. Let's say an AFC Championship game and

1391
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:22,800
Speaker 2: they lose, but it's not to the Chiefs, does that

1392
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:25,960
Speaker 2: in any way make you feel differently? Maybe it's worse

1393
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,400
Speaker 2: in some ways, like well, I don't know.

1394
01:10:28,439 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 1: It depends on the circumstances. It depends on how they lose,

1395
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 1: it depends on the fight that's put up, like that game,

1396
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 1: the playoff game a couple years ago when they lost

1397
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:42,639
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati and just got killed, Like that can't happen.

1398
01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:45,760
Speaker 1: But if it's like if there's an incredible game that

1399
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 1: is played and they come up short, I think that

1400
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:53,439
Speaker 1: that does factor in. But yes, I feel like this

1401
01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:58,360
Speaker 1: Bills team needs to finally overthrow the dragon in the

1402
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:01,200
Speaker 1: playoffs that they have not been able to get through.

1403
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:04,760
Speaker 1: But if it's let's say it's Baltimore and they get

1404
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:07,800
Speaker 1: past Baltimore, I think that's still Or if they get

1405
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:10,439
Speaker 1: beat by Baltimore a really close game, I don't know

1406
01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:12,519
Speaker 1: that that's the desk now, even though you and I

1407
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:15,600
Speaker 1: maybe think it should be at that point, because you

1408
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 1: just keep coming up short and short and short no

1409
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:21,760
Speaker 1: matter what you do. So what's gonna change next year?

1410
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:24,320
Speaker 1: And I would suggest that the answer is probably nothing.

1411
01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:29,639
Speaker 2: Interesting situation in Buffalo really quick, because there's a lot

1412
01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 2: of good games this weekend, so I don't know if

1413
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:33,439
Speaker 2: we're gonna have time to preview them. All later on

1414
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:37,920
Speaker 2: in the show. You know they're they're hosting Tampa. Tampa,

1415
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:40,600
Speaker 2: of course, is coming off a loss of the Patriots themselves.

1416
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:43,880
Speaker 2: Just really quick, any any big picture takeaways on this

1417
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:45,879
Speaker 2: game coming into this one on Sunday?

1418
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:49,439
Speaker 1: Do you have any take Do you have any big

1419
01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:50,280
Speaker 1: picture on this one?

1420
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:53,600
Speaker 2: I just I know I just said big picture, So

1421
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 2: I don't know that I feel great about either side.

1422
01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:59,760
Speaker 2: My big picture is you're at home, you're coming off

1423
01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:02,360
Speaker 2: in embarrassing loss. I want to see a good performance.

1424
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:06,679
Speaker 2: I picked the Bucks last week against the Pats at home,

1425
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 2: so maybe I shouldn't. I just to me, I don't know.

1426
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 2: I just I worry about this Bills team, and I

1427
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 2: worry that they can get themselves up for the really

1428
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:20,759
Speaker 2: big games. I guess, but I guess Tampa probably maybe

1429
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:26,360
Speaker 2: qualifies as that. But I don't know. I don't. I've

1430
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 2: seen too much inconsistency. I actually do like the Bucks

1431
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 2: to win this game.

1432
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:35,040
Speaker 1: Hm. I feel like it being in Buffalo. I like

1433
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:37,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo to win the game. I think that's that's my

1434
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 1: big takeaway. It's it's gonna be. I need to look

1435
01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:43,680
Speaker 1: at the temperature.

1436
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:48,000
Speaker 2: It's not it's it's forty, but it's not like snow forty.

1437
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:49,960
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I mean you might be able to get

1438
01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:52,040
Speaker 1: through that. Again, though, the problem has just been all

1439
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 1: of the injuries, the missing components for the Bucks and

1440
01:12:56,479 --> 01:12:58,760
Speaker 1: a Bills team that now knows what they are having

1441
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 1: to deal with when it comes to the Patriots, So

1442
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:04,280
Speaker 1: I feel like they're going to be kind of inspired,

1443
01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:07,000
Speaker 1: especially coming off the loss last week. I think they'll win.

1444
01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 1: A matter of fact, I think they might win convincingly.

1445
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:13,120
Speaker 2: All Right, we will find out Buffalo hosting Tampa in

1446
01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:16,160
Speaker 2: the early window, and it is part of a monster

1447
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:20,560
Speaker 2: slate of NFL games. Among the big games Chicago Minnesota

1448
01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 2: we got on top of that. We also have the

1449
01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 2: big game later on in the afternoon Seattle and the Rams.

1450
01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:34,080
Speaker 2: We have the Sunday night game of Detroit and Philly.

1451
01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 2: Didn't even mention Casey in Denver. So busy Sunday. We

1452
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:40,280
Speaker 2: will come back and previewed all about less than an

1453
01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:42,519
Speaker 2: hour from now. Tell you what, though, well, we also

1454
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:44,240
Speaker 2: need to do. We need to bring in Steve de Sager.

1455
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:46,800
Speaker 2: He needs to get you updated on everything you missed

1456
01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:49,639
Speaker 2: on a busy Saturday across the world of sports. We'll

1461
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:07,200
Speaker 5: Of BYU twelve. They're up thirty to thirteen on TCU

1462
01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 5: late in the third.

1463
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:10,519
Speaker 6: As for some of the other college football tonight, UNLV

1464
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:13,639
Speaker 6: won again double overtime over Utah State eight and two.

1465
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:16,840
Speaker 6: Record for the Rebels. Florida State was one in five

1466
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:19,559
Speaker 6: in conference, but got a home win against Virginia Tech

1467
01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 6: thirty four to fourteen. Also in that league. North Carolina

1468
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:26,880
Speaker 6: two and four in the ACC, lost at Wake Forest

1469
01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:30,320
Speaker 6: today twenty eight to twelve. North Texas could be a

1470
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:33,400
Speaker 6: playoff team this year. They won easily at UAB nine

1471
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 6: and one. Record now for North Texas to Lane's not

1472
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 6: out of the mix eight and two record after a

1473
01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:41,960
Speaker 6: home win against Florida Atlantic, and Texas A and M

1474
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:45,040
Speaker 6: had the incredible comeback to stay undefeated. They were ranked

1475
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:48,920
Speaker 6: third in the college football playoff standings this week. Texas

1476
01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:51,560
Speaker 6: A and M had a season opener in twenty seventeen

1477
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:54,760
Speaker 6: where they blew a huge lead and lost at UCLA

1478
01:14:54,800 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 6: against quarterback Josh Rosen. That was a thirty four point

1479
01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:01,040
Speaker 6: lead they blew in the second half. They gave up

1480
01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:05,519
Speaker 6: four straight touchdowns fourth quarter and lost forty five forty four. Well, today,

1481
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:09,000
Speaker 6: A and M at home engineered the largest comeback win

1482
01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:12,759
Speaker 6: in school history. Before today, it had been a Johnny

1483
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:15,759
Speaker 6: Menzel team that won a bowl game against Duke fifty

1484
01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:20,240
Speaker 6: two forty eight. They had rallied from twenty one points down. Today,

1485
01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:22,920
Speaker 6: they were down at half thirty to three and still

1486
01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:25,880
Speaker 6: beat South Carolina thirty one to thirty. A and M

1487
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:28,960
Speaker 6: the only team undefeated in the SEC. Marcel Reid of

1488
01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:32,840
Speaker 6: the Aggies three touchdown passes, three turnovers, four hundred and

1489
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:37,400
Speaker 6: thirty nine yards passing South Carolina one in seven in conference.

1490
01:15:37,439 --> 01:15:39,920
Speaker 6: There was a great graphic they put up during this game.

1491
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:44,360
Speaker 6: In the past twenty plus years in SEC conference play,

1492
01:15:44,439 --> 01:15:47,160
Speaker 6: when a team trails by twenty seven points or more,

1493
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:49,920
Speaker 6: they had not come back to win oh and two

1494
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:54,200
Speaker 6: eighty six, but a comeback win today. Tonight, Missouri won

1495
01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:57,479
Speaker 6: again forty nine twenty seven over Mississippi State. A Mott

1496
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:00,679
Speaker 6: Hardy on twenty five carries three hundred year yards rushing

1497
01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:04,160
Speaker 6: and three scores, and LSU got a home victory against

1498
01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:08,280
Speaker 6: Arkansas twenty three to twenty two. Arkansas still winless in

1499
01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:11,920
Speaker 6: the league play. In fact, on Arkansas schedule, they have

1500
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:14,840
Speaker 6: six losses by fewer than seven points. That's tied for

1501
01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:17,840
Speaker 6: the most by any team in any season since at

1502
01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:21,280
Speaker 6: least two thousand. Apparently Army had six such close losses

1503
01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:25,080
Speaker 6: a decade ago. Oklahoma State, winless in the Big Twelve,

1504
01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:28,600
Speaker 6: lost at home to Kansas State fourteen to six. Arizona

1505
01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:31,360
Speaker 6: State with a home win twenty five, twenty three against

1506
01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:35,320
Speaker 6: West Virginia. Penn State with a victory at Michigan State today,

1507
01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:38,120
Speaker 6: got two touchdowns fourth quarter pulled away for a twenty

1508
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:41,400
Speaker 6: eight to ten win against the Spartans, who are winless

1509
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:44,360
Speaker 6: in the Big Ten. Maryland won in six in that

1510
01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:48,120
Speaker 6: conference after losing twenty four to six at Illinois. Washington

1511
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:50,880
Speaker 6: at home pounded Purdue tonight infect Purdue oh to eight

1512
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:53,600
Speaker 6: in the Big Ten. With the Penn State victory, that

1513
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:56,400
Speaker 6: is its first Power Conference win. Who are the other

1514
01:16:56,520 --> 01:17:00,120
Speaker 6: Power Conference teams this season that still have zero victory

1515
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:05,400
Speaker 6: against fellow Power Conference opponents? I just named one. Purdue,

1516
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:09,719
Speaker 6: Oklahoma State is another. Arkansas with all the close losses,

1517
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:13,479
Speaker 6: and there is one other Boston College nearly got a

1518
01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:16,720
Speaker 6: whole win today. Sixteenth ranked Georgia Tech won on a

1519
01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:19,799
Speaker 6: short field goal in the final seconds thirty six thirty

1520
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 6: four at BC. Georgia Tech had scored sixteen unanswered points

1521
01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:26,599
Speaker 6: to start the fourth quarter here. BC this season won

1522
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:31,080
Speaker 6: its opener against Fordham. They have lost ten straight since.

1523
01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:35,240
Speaker 2: By the way, Bill Bill O'Brien went on a press

1524
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:38,320
Speaker 2: conference rant about ten days ago. The guy he was

1525
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:41,160
Speaker 2: yelling at I went to high school with fun fact same.

1526
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:42,360
Speaker 5: The media member you made.

1527
01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:45,200
Speaker 2: Yes, his name is Michael Terry does. Actually, I don't

1528
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 2: know how many beat writers there are for Boston College,

1529
01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 2: but he's one of them that shows up. And Bill

1530
01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:52,280
Speaker 2: O'Brien was not happy with the question.

1531
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:54,360
Speaker 5: I'm guessing fewer than at the season open.

1532
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:56,639
Speaker 2: What's what I'm saying, like, be happy that anybody's showing

1533
01:17:56,720 --> 01:17:59,439
Speaker 2: up to your press conferences. But another conversation for another day.

1534
01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:03,400
Speaker 5: Six and zero at home after beating Air Force.

1535
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:05,720
Speaker 2: I did not realize, By the way, Yukon has never

1536
01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:08,439
Speaker 2: had a ten win season since joining the FBS. If

1537
01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 2: they win their season finale and then a bowl game,

1538
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 2: they'll get.

1539
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:14,960
Speaker 1: A little man, credit him more. Great job eight and.

1540
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:18,400
Speaker 6: Three right now. And the finale is at Florida Atlantic.

1541
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 6: That's next Saturday's game. And you're right, they are Bowl

1542
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:22,599
Speaker 6: eligible at this point.

1543
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:24,000
Speaker 5: And as we.

1544
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:26,280
Speaker 6: Have seen before, you don't necessarily have to have six

1545
01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:28,559
Speaker 6: wins and the other things to get to a bowl game.

1546
01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:33,120
Speaker 6: Virginia and Miami each one. Now, as far as the rankings,

1547
01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:35,800
Speaker 6: this week, Texas was up to number ten that would

1548
01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:38,000
Speaker 6: have put them in the playoff. If this had ended

1549
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:41,240
Speaker 6: the season, number eleven Oklahoma would not have made the

1550
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:45,200
Speaker 6: playoff because the ACC's highest ranked team would have, which

1551
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:48,880
Speaker 6: was number fifteen Miami. Now, a week ago it was

1552
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:51,360
Speaker 6: Memphis as the best of the group of five. Oh, okay,

1553
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:53,519
Speaker 6: they'll get the last spot. This week it's oh South

1554
01:18:53,560 --> 01:18:56,240
Speaker 6: Florida's ranked, they'll get the group of Nope, they wound

1555
01:18:56,320 --> 01:18:59,599
Speaker 6: up losing a Navy. So we'll see when Tuesday night's

1556
01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:00,639
Speaker 6: ranking come out.

1557
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:01,599
Speaker 1: But we have.

1558
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:04,879
Speaker 6: Virginia and Miami did it each win and that Miami

1559
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:08,040
Speaker 6: home win against NC State was forty one to seven.

1560
01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:11,000
Speaker 6: NC State is a team twenty carries just twenty three

1561
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:15,040
Speaker 6: yards rushing that included one sack. Their offense nine first downs,

1562
01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:18,519
Speaker 6: eight punts. Miami's won two straight after starting two and

1563
01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:22,599
Speaker 6: two in conference Virginia thirty four to seventeen winner at Duke.

1564
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:25,080
Speaker 6: It was thirty one to three early in the fourth quarter.

1565
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:28,000
Speaker 6: Virginia still has just one loss in the ACC as

1566
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:31,639
Speaker 6: to Georgia Tech pit SMU and number one Ohio State's

1567
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:34,720
Speaker 6: ten and zero. Now after ripping UCLA forty eight to ten,

1568
01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 6: the Bruins were going with a backup quarterback who'd never

1569
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:40,200
Speaker 6: thrown a pass for him tonight because the normal starter,

1570
01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:44,160
Speaker 6: Nico Eamlaiavo, was out with a concussion. The UCLA offense

1571
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:47,000
Speaker 6: finished with ten drives eight first downs.

1572
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:49,880
Speaker 2: Back to you, awesome update to Seger, Thank you for

1573
01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 2: everything that happened in a busy Saturday across the world

1574
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:56,760
Speaker 2: of sports. Good news is we got plenty more to

1575
01:19:56,800 --> 01:20:00,120
Speaker 2: discuss in the coming hour. Well recap college football and

1576
01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:03,719
Speaker 2: we will continue to look at just a monster Sunday

1577
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:08,240
Speaker 2: in the NFL Lions, Eagles ram Seahawks. We got one

1578
01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:11,880
Speaker 2: hour left, so much to discuss. Er Tors, Jason Martin,

1579
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:17,880
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, welcome man, everybody our three tours and

1580
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:22,000
Speaker 2: Martin Fox Sports Radio we are broadcasting live yes We

1581
01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:25,080
Speaker 2: are live at one am Eastern time here in the

1582
01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:28,519
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio studios, taking me up till two a m. Eastern.

1583
01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:33,599
Speaker 2: Adam Osland is following us Bernie Fredo with a much

1584
01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:38,040
Speaker 2: deserved night off. Do wish Bernie was here because there's

1585
01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:40,200
Speaker 2: not that we don't love Adam Ousland, but a lot

1586
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:42,840
Speaker 2: of college football, a lot of NFL would love his perspective.

1587
01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:45,280
Speaker 2: The Michigan Wolverines, by the way, j Mart, we didn't

1588
01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 2: even talk about improved to eight and two. Very uninspiring.

1589
01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:53,639
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what they're good. I said this,

1590
01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:56,679
Speaker 2: and I think I texted to you. I don't think

1591
01:20:56,760 --> 01:21:02,519
Speaker 2: there is any coach in college football that manages to

1592
01:21:02,680 --> 01:21:07,400
Speaker 2: win games in ways that inspire his fan base less

1593
01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:12,000
Speaker 2: than Sharon more real quick I'll tell you a quick

1594
01:21:12,040 --> 01:21:14,400
Speaker 2: side story. But I have a buddy who's a huge

1595
01:21:14,439 --> 01:21:16,479
Speaker 2: He's not really a buddy, he's a lawyer. He's my

1596
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:18,880
Speaker 2: lawyer who you know, not that I get in trouble

1597
01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:20,600
Speaker 2: with the law, but he looks over my contracts all

1598
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:23,200
Speaker 2: that stuff. But he's a huge Gator fan, Florida Gator fan.

1599
01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:27,519
Speaker 2: And even when they got red hot last year in football,

1600
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:29,320
Speaker 2: they won a bunch of games late and there was

1601
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:32,240
Speaker 2: momentum going into this season. He was like, I don't

1602
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:34,920
Speaker 2: believe in Billion Napier and He's like, the most frustrating

1603
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:37,240
Speaker 2: thing about being a Florida fan in the Billion Napier

1604
01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:42,120
Speaker 2: era is that even when you win games, you never

1605
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:45,760
Speaker 2: win them in the manner where you like feel really good,

1606
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:49,760
Speaker 2: Like you never are just a seventeen point favorite against

1607
01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:53,680
Speaker 2: Mississippi State and you win thirty one to three and

1608
01:21:53,720 --> 01:21:55,880
Speaker 2: it's over in the middle of the third quarter and

1609
01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:59,840
Speaker 2: I'm getting those vibes from Sharon More. They survive north

1610
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:02,280
Speaker 2: Western today, we don't necessarily have to spend a ton

1611
01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:08,080
Speaker 2: of time on Michigan, but multiple missfield goals, multiple interceptions

1612
01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:11,000
Speaker 2: from Bryce Underwood, including one late that only almost cost

1613
01:22:11,040 --> 01:22:13,320
Speaker 2: him the game. But they put themselves in a position.

1614
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:16,120
Speaker 2: They get the twenty four to twenty two win, but

1615
01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:19,439
Speaker 2: twenty four to twenty two win over Northwestern this after

1616
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:23,640
Speaker 2: beating Perdue twenty one to sixteen two weeks ago. So

1617
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:27,240
Speaker 2: they're a in two. If they beat Maryland, they are

1618
01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:29,320
Speaker 2: going to be going for what would it be a

1619
01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:32,200
Speaker 2: fifth straight win over Ohio State, and in their case

1620
01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:36,200
Speaker 2: with a playoff berth on the line, but yeah, you

1621
01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:38,400
Speaker 2: never feel you never leave the stadium, I think feeling

1622
01:22:38,439 --> 01:22:41,120
Speaker 2: really good if you're if you're a Wolverines fan.

1623
01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:45,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, but man, at least your winning games. I'm sure

1624
01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:48,720
Speaker 1: you could still be feeling worse. But I'm not sure

1625
01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 1: I've ever heard more of like it was sort of

1626
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:55,160
Speaker 1: a compliment and sort of not like you're winning games

1627
01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:57,799
Speaker 1: but no one understands why and no one has faith

1628
01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:01,160
Speaker 1: and why and it's just like Charme Moore is just

1629
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:05,640
Speaker 1: kind of like he's walking across a tightrope. Yep, it

1630
01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:08,360
Speaker 1: feels like but he keeps on getting to the other side.

1631
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:11,360
Speaker 1: But halfway across, it seems like you see one of

1632
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:14,000
Speaker 1: his feet start to kind of tremble, like he's about

1633
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:16,080
Speaker 1: to fall off, but he still somehow mix it over

1634
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:18,200
Speaker 1: and over again. A lot of coaches would love to

1635
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 1: be Charon Moore right now, sure, because they find ways

1636
01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:23,719
Speaker 1: to lose, whether it's Shane Biemer or James Frankler, whoever

1637
01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:27,520
Speaker 1: it is, a lot of coaches would love their opportunity

1638
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:28,840
Speaker 1: to be Sharon Moore right now.

1639
01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:32,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the I think yes, a lot of

1640
01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:34,040
Speaker 2: coaches would love to be A and two. You know,

1641
01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:36,599
Speaker 2: ask Sark if he'd like to be eight and two,

1642
01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:40,439
Speaker 2: ask whoever. So it's probably fair, it is, it is.

1643
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:45,040
Speaker 2: It ultimately does not matter if by the way, certainly

1644
01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:47,120
Speaker 2: doesn't matter if he wins his next two because that

1645
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 2: would include a win over Ohio State to finish ten

1646
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:51,519
Speaker 2: and two. So we'll see what happens there. We have

1647
01:23:51,760 --> 01:23:55,840
Speaker 2: plenty of time to discuss the Michigan Wolverines, but let's

1648
01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:57,639
Speaker 2: go ahead and rip through some of the other big

1649
01:23:57,680 --> 01:24:01,200
Speaker 2: results from Saturday in college football. It really just say this.

1650
01:24:01,160 --> 01:24:03,439
Speaker 1: Real quick, just since you wait, since you just mentioned it,

1651
01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:05,439
Speaker 1: and we we aren't going to talk about it, right,

1652
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:09,760
Speaker 1: Ohio State killed somebody else? Yeah, they dominated another team.

1653
01:24:10,160 --> 01:24:12,280
Speaker 1: I still have no idea what they're going to do

1654
01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:14,280
Speaker 1: in the playoffs now because I don't think they're talented,

1655
01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:18,040
Speaker 1: but because I just like they're just floating through the season.

1656
01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:21,960
Speaker 1: Right they're number one, but the schedule and just how

1657
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:24,680
Speaker 1: easy it's been. How are they going to respond to

1658
01:24:24,720 --> 01:24:28,200
Speaker 1: adversity because they haven't seen anything even remotely approaching it

1659
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:28,679
Speaker 1: this year?

1660
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:32,000
Speaker 2: Now, it's totally fair. It was funny I saw so

1661
01:24:32,040 --> 01:24:34,840
Speaker 2: Steve Hartman was filling in for Martin Weiss before our show.

1662
01:24:35,200 --> 01:24:37,639
Speaker 2: Steve has a Heisman vote, and you know, I asked

1663
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:40,000
Speaker 2: him really quick, hey, where where's the Hartman Heisman poll?

1664
01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:43,600
Speaker 2: He said something funny. He goes, well, and he is

1665
01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:46,880
Speaker 2: admittedly a UCLA alum, but he says, well, you know,

1666
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:50,599
Speaker 2: UCLI wasn't terrible. They held Julian say in under eighty

1667
01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:54,000
Speaker 2: percent passing, and I was like, I was like, what

1668
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:54,840
Speaker 2: what I said?

1669
01:24:54,840 --> 01:24:54,880
Speaker 8: That?

1670
01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:57,439
Speaker 2: That's like saying, oh, you did a good job holding

1671
01:24:57,600 --> 01:25:01,040
Speaker 2: Luca to forty two, twelve and twelve tonight. But the

1672
01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:04,360
Speaker 2: point he brought up was Julian saying came into today

1673
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:07,919
Speaker 2: at you know, completing over eighty percent of his passes.

1674
01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:10,920
Speaker 2: And I will say, I think two things on Ohio

1675
01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:13,320
Speaker 2: State are true, since as you said, we're probably not

1676
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:16,120
Speaker 2: going to talk about him until the Michigan game. Is

1677
01:25:16,520 --> 01:25:20,719
Speaker 2: what I do think in some ways they're being punished

1678
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:23,120
Speaker 2: for how awesome they are, like and I don't mean

1679
01:25:23,160 --> 01:25:25,840
Speaker 2: punished in the polls, but like as an example, like

1680
01:25:26,640 --> 01:25:29,120
Speaker 2: there are people out there that are that think that

1681
01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:32,760
Speaker 2: Jeremiah Smith has been a little bit underwhelming because he

1682
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:34,920
Speaker 2: hasn't been on a bunch of Sports Center top tens.

1683
01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:39,320
Speaker 2: We do understand that right now coming into today Jeremiah

1684
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:44,719
Speaker 2: Smith was tied for second in college football in touchdown catches,

1685
01:25:45,240 --> 01:25:48,759
Speaker 2: and he is in the number seven in total yards

1686
01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:51,400
Speaker 2: to go along with sixty five catches, so he is

1687
01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:56,720
Speaker 2: top seven nationally in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns, and

1688
01:25:56,760 --> 01:25:59,639
Speaker 2: people are deeming him to have a somewhat underwhelming season.

1689
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:02,080
Speaker 2: I just think that's the Ohio State thing. And I

1690
01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:04,719
Speaker 2: do agree with you, is that you know, they haven't

1691
01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:07,880
Speaker 2: played anybody worth a lake and it's not their fault.

1692
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:10,160
Speaker 2: And I remember talking about this last year, j mart Is,

1693
01:26:10,439 --> 01:26:14,719
Speaker 2: these conferences have gotten so big where you're just gonna

1694
01:26:14,760 --> 01:26:17,559
Speaker 2: miss good teams. And so you look at Ohio State.

1695
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:21,080
Speaker 2: They don't play USC, they don't play Oregon, and I

1696
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:24,840
Speaker 2: think what's really hurt them. Penn State sucks, and like

1697
01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:28,880
Speaker 2: all of these conversations about the Big Ten kind of

1698
01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:31,439
Speaker 2: like Oregon right now has no great wins because Penn

1699
01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:36,280
Speaker 2: State sucks, and you know Ohio State, Penn State was

1700
01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:38,479
Speaker 2: supposed to be the barometer and then they weren't. And

1701
01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:42,400
Speaker 2: so I don't disagree with anything you said, but I

1702
01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:44,360
Speaker 2: remember talking to you about this last year, is like

1703
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:48,720
Speaker 2: these bloated conferences. I just I don't know that we're

1704
01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:53,080
Speaker 2: gonna get the results that we want just because so

1705
01:26:53,320 --> 01:26:55,880
Speaker 2: few to like, like, there's just so many matchups that

1706
01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:58,599
Speaker 2: we're not gonna get by the way, A and M

1707
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:01,040
Speaker 2: and the SEC is a per an example of that.

1708
01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:03,519
Speaker 2: You know, A of them still hasn't been a team

1709
01:27:03,600 --> 01:27:05,920
Speaker 2: in the top half of the SEC this year, which

1710
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:09,439
Speaker 2: is absolutely crazy to think about. Doesn't mean they're not good,

1711
01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:12,519
Speaker 2: doesn't mean that some of their wins in the moment

1712
01:27:12,720 --> 01:27:16,599
Speaker 2: didn't feel good, especially the LSU win. But it's just

1713
01:27:16,720 --> 01:27:19,200
Speaker 2: it's just the byproduct of where we are with these

1714
01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:23,280
Speaker 2: bloated schedules, are bloated conferences. And again you look at

1715
01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:27,040
Speaker 2: at Ohio State, not a ton of great wins on

1716
01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:30,240
Speaker 2: the schedule, No Oregon, no USC, and I guess Michigan

1717
01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:32,479
Speaker 2: is where though maybe in theory be tested.

1718
01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:37,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, it's just it's amazing. They've been

1719
01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:40,800
Speaker 1: number one for so long. They've been just mauling everybody

1720
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:43,720
Speaker 1: they've played. But I just don't feel like I have

1721
01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:46,320
Speaker 1: that much information about them yet, Like, yeah, you're right,

1722
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:50,920
Speaker 1: Julian saying is what eighty point nine percent completion this season,

1723
01:27:51,280 --> 01:27:57,000
Speaker 1: He's been phenomenal, But against what, against who, and Michigan.

1724
01:27:57,240 --> 01:28:00,639
Speaker 1: Michigan's a test, yeah, but I don't know how big

1725
01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:03,080
Speaker 1: of a test we just got. We just spent time

1726
01:28:03,120 --> 01:28:05,479
Speaker 1: talking about that as a matter of fact. So I

1727
01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:08,200
Speaker 1: think they're gonna when they get into the College Football Playoff,

1728
01:28:08,200 --> 01:28:10,559
Speaker 1: We're actually gonna see how good they are. They gonna

1729
01:28:10,560 --> 01:28:12,599
Speaker 1: be able to turn on a switch they haven't had

1730
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:16,200
Speaker 1: to turn on. Are they gonna face adversity? I assume

1731
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:19,200
Speaker 1: so somebody is going to put up a fight against

1732
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:22,680
Speaker 1: them that's unlike anything they've seen all season long, and

1733
01:28:22,720 --> 01:28:24,799
Speaker 1: that's going to be fascinating to see how they react

1734
01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:25,120
Speaker 1: to that.

1735
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:27,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be an interesting final three weeks. You know,

1736
01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:30,519
Speaker 2: we know the history with Michigan. Obviously, the stakes have

1737
01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:32,960
Speaker 2: changed this year for Ohio State. If they lose, it's

1738
01:28:33,120 --> 01:28:34,960
Speaker 2: by no means the end of the world. They do

1739
01:28:34,960 --> 01:28:37,160
Speaker 2: still have the Indiana game too, and I think that's

1740
01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:40,360
Speaker 2: gonna be a litmus test for them and Indiana. That

1741
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:43,679
Speaker 2: would be in the conference championship game. Indiana, by the way,

1742
01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:47,960
Speaker 2: one again in dominant fashion. Now eleven and oh eight

1743
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:52,840
Speaker 2: and oh so, I believe I believe Indiana has officially

1744
01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:55,280
Speaker 2: clinched a spot in the Big Ten. Championship game. I

1745
01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:58,160
Speaker 2: could be wrong on that because there's I guess, I

1746
01:28:58,200 --> 01:29:00,280
Speaker 2: don't know. It doesn't really matter, but it looks it's

1747
01:29:00,280 --> 01:29:03,640
Speaker 2: going to be Indiana, Ohio State in Indianapolis for the

1748
01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:06,639
Speaker 2: Big Ten championship. All right, let's switch gears and let's

1749
01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:08,280
Speaker 2: just talk about a couple of the other big games.

1750
01:29:08,360 --> 01:29:10,280
Speaker 2: You know, I think be remiss if we did not

1751
01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:15,080
Speaker 2: talk about a dominant effort from the Georgia Bulldogs. Tonight,

1752
01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:19,360
Speaker 2: Georgia goes on and beats Texas in Athens. Final score

1753
01:29:19,600 --> 01:29:23,719
Speaker 2: in this one was thirty five to ten. The game

1754
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:29,200
Speaker 2: changing moment and moments were Georgia up fourteen to ten

1755
01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:33,200
Speaker 2: early fourth quarter, convert two fourth downs on the way

1756
01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:37,360
Speaker 2: to a touchdown. They then proceed to put a surprise

1757
01:29:37,600 --> 01:29:40,120
Speaker 2: on side kick. They have a surprise on side kick

1758
01:29:40,160 --> 01:29:43,559
Speaker 2: which they recover, they score there. The game is essentially

1759
01:29:43,640 --> 01:29:46,320
Speaker 2: over at that point, thirty five to ten win for Georgia,

1760
01:29:46,840 --> 01:29:48,800
Speaker 2: and all I'll say quickly on this one, Jay mart

1761
01:29:49,280 --> 01:29:53,400
Speaker 2: I've been critical of Georgia. Narrow win over Tennessee, narrow

1762
01:29:53,479 --> 01:29:58,080
Speaker 2: win over Ole, miss by the way, questionable call against

1763
01:29:58,160 --> 01:30:01,280
Speaker 2: Auburn on the goal line, questionable against Florida, late in

1764
01:30:01,320 --> 01:30:03,760
Speaker 2: that game. But the last two weeks they've peaked a

1765
01:30:03,840 --> 01:30:07,040
Speaker 2: twenty one point win at Mississippi State last week, a

1766
01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:10,080
Speaker 2: dominant win against Texas. George is going to be in

1767
01:30:10,120 --> 01:30:12,120
Speaker 2: the playoff. It's just a question of will they be

1768
01:30:12,160 --> 01:30:14,560
Speaker 2: in the SEC Championship game. Will they be competing for

1769
01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:17,160
Speaker 2: a number one seed. But they are a team that

1770
01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:18,920
Speaker 2: very much looks like they'll be one of the twelve

1771
01:30:18,920 --> 01:30:20,559
Speaker 2: teams called on selection Sunday.

1772
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:25,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I heard an anecdote from I guess it

1773
01:30:25,320 --> 01:30:27,680
Speaker 1: was Andy Staples and Aari Washerman because they were at

1774
01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:30,400
Speaker 1: that game and they were tailgating before it, and they

1775
01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:33,400
Speaker 1: were suggesting that it's amazing to listen to this fan

1776
01:30:33,479 --> 01:30:35,439
Speaker 1: base at Georgia say we don't want to play in

1777
01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:36,880
Speaker 1: the SEC Championship game.

1778
01:30:36,920 --> 01:30:39,320
Speaker 2: It's interesting, right, go ahead, fascinating?

1779
01:30:41,120 --> 01:30:43,160
Speaker 1: Go ahead? Is like, there's no, they don't want to

1780
01:30:43,200 --> 01:30:45,920
Speaker 1: be in that game. And I mean you think you

1781
01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:48,160
Speaker 1: mentioned Ohio State in Indiana. I'm like, did, They probably

1782
01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:50,920
Speaker 1: don't want to be there either, Like these these games

1783
01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:53,280
Speaker 1: are I want to see how these games are played

1784
01:30:53,320 --> 01:30:56,320
Speaker 1: out once we get to these championship games. But like

1785
01:30:57,240 --> 01:31:01,160
Speaker 1: Georgia fans do not have any interest in them being

1786
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:03,760
Speaker 1: in the conference championship game, which tells you all you

1787
01:31:03,800 --> 01:31:06,080
Speaker 1: need to know about how some things need to be

1788
01:31:06,120 --> 01:31:07,479
Speaker 1: evaluated going forward.

1789
01:31:07,840 --> 01:31:09,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know that we're ever going to get there,

1790
01:31:10,160 --> 01:31:11,080
Speaker 2: I will say, probbly.

1791
01:31:11,520 --> 01:31:12,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. No.

1792
01:31:12,200 --> 01:31:15,679
Speaker 2: A couple couple thoughts on that. That's a very interesting point. One.

1793
01:31:15,720 --> 01:31:18,200
Speaker 2: I think Georgia fans may more than anybody know the

1794
01:31:18,320 --> 01:31:21,680
Speaker 2: risk of a conference championship game because Carson Beck had

1795
01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:24,880
Speaker 2: a season ending injury in the Conference championship right last year.

1796
01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:29,200
Speaker 2: The other thing is I understand, for say, at a

1797
01:31:29,280 --> 01:31:31,960
Speaker 2: school like Texas A and M has never been to

1798
01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:36,160
Speaker 2: the SEC championship game Indiana, whatever I said it last year,

1799
01:31:36,840 --> 01:31:40,559
Speaker 2: I think to me. The other thing too, and it

1800
01:31:40,640 --> 01:31:43,840
Speaker 2: kind of kills two birds with one stone, is with

1801
01:31:43,920 --> 01:31:48,120
Speaker 2: the expanded playoff, you're going so late into January that

1802
01:31:48,240 --> 01:31:52,160
Speaker 2: it felt like the playoff lost juice the deeper that

1803
01:31:52,200 --> 01:31:54,400
Speaker 2: it got into January, because it eventually at some point

1804
01:31:54,479 --> 01:31:58,280
Speaker 2: butted up against the NFL playoffs, and so it'll probably

1805
01:31:58,320 --> 01:32:01,639
Speaker 2: never happen. But I'm of the belief cancel the conference

1806
01:32:01,760 --> 01:32:05,000
Speaker 2: championship games. Not only do I not know what they prove,

1807
01:32:05,520 --> 01:32:09,240
Speaker 2: but I think conversely, you could put teams don't want

1808
01:32:09,240 --> 01:32:13,040
Speaker 2: to be there. It does nothing other than at a

1809
01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:15,640
Speaker 2: trophy to your trophy case. By the way, it especially

1810
01:32:15,680 --> 01:32:20,160
Speaker 2: does nothing now because remember the four top four seeds

1811
01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:22,759
Speaker 2: go to the four highest ranked teams. It's no longer

1812
01:32:22,920 --> 01:32:25,679
Speaker 2: just conference champions So last year you could at least

1813
01:32:25,760 --> 01:32:27,759
Speaker 2: argue you're playing for one of the first four seeds

1814
01:32:27,760 --> 01:32:31,000
Speaker 2: in a first round. By this year you're not. I

1815
01:32:31,080 --> 01:32:33,719
Speaker 2: think you eliminate conference championship games. You start the playoff

1816
01:32:33,760 --> 01:32:36,000
Speaker 2: by the middle of December, and you get that puppy

1817
01:32:36,040 --> 01:32:38,479
Speaker 2: wrapped up a little bit after New Year's It's probably

1818
01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:40,320
Speaker 2: not gonna happen. But I think that's an interesting point

1819
01:32:40,360 --> 01:32:44,200
Speaker 2: by you, Jason, that basically even fans are acknowledging, like,

1820
01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:46,960
Speaker 2: I'd rather not be in the conference championship game, get

1821
01:32:46,960 --> 01:32:49,759
Speaker 2: the extra rest and ramp up for that twelve team playoff.

1822
01:32:50,280 --> 01:32:53,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm really interested in the playoffs though this year

1823
01:32:53,479 --> 01:32:57,240
Speaker 1: I do think that there are there's just gonna be

1824
01:32:57,280 --> 01:32:59,479
Speaker 1: some really interesting matchups coming out of this, and we

1825
01:32:59,520 --> 01:33:02,280
Speaker 1: are continueing to see sort of the weed and the

1826
01:33:02,360 --> 01:33:05,240
Speaker 1: chef separating. Some of these teams are playing their way out,

1827
01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:07,320
Speaker 1: and there's still some games that are going to win

1828
01:33:07,520 --> 01:33:09,679
Speaker 1: this field a little bit more. I'm not sure there's

1829
01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:11,600
Speaker 1: going to be too much to gripe about once we

1830
01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:14,280
Speaker 1: get to it, because everybody has had an opportunity to

1831
01:33:14,320 --> 01:33:18,120
Speaker 1: show themselves and whoever gets there is going to have

1832
01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:21,240
Speaker 1: earned it. The teams that will not have And it's

1833
01:33:21,320 --> 01:33:22,920
Speaker 1: kind of similar to last year. You're just going to

1834
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:24,559
Speaker 1: kind of look at it and say, look, you had

1835
01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:27,760
Speaker 1: your opportunity, you weren't able to get there. That's why

1836
01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:29,719
Speaker 1: you didn't make it. Even if you think somebody else

1837
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:32,960
Speaker 1: should have been there over XYZ, I just don't see

1838
01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:34,559
Speaker 1: a whole lot of hand ringing over it.

1839
01:33:34,840 --> 01:33:37,920
Speaker 2: Well, and I'll say this too, let's stay on the

1840
01:33:37,960 --> 01:33:43,640
Speaker 2: Saturday games because Alabama, all of a sudden everything's on

1841
01:33:43,680 --> 01:33:46,200
Speaker 2: the line in that Iron Bowl. You win that game,

1842
01:33:47,280 --> 01:33:50,320
Speaker 2: you're going to Atlanta for the SEC Championship Game. The

1843
01:33:50,439 --> 01:33:53,839
Speaker 2: problem is if you lose the Iron Bowl, you're probably

1844
01:33:53,920 --> 01:33:56,280
Speaker 2: left out of the playoff. And that is because Alabama

1845
01:33:56,360 --> 01:34:00,519
Speaker 2: fell at home to Oklahoma on Saturday afternoon. Oklahoma gets

1846
01:34:00,600 --> 01:34:03,240
Speaker 2: the twenty three to twenty one win weird game where

1847
01:34:03,280 --> 01:34:09,880
Speaker 2: Alabama significantly outgained Oklahoma almost two hundred yards more of

1848
01:34:09,960 --> 01:34:15,479
Speaker 2: total offense, but three turnovers for Oklahoma. Oklahoma forced three

1849
01:34:15,520 --> 01:34:19,960
Speaker 2: Alabama turnovers, including a pick six Oklahoma wins. They're now

1850
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:23,040
Speaker 2: eight and two with home games against LSU and Missouri

1851
01:34:23,040 --> 01:34:25,080
Speaker 2: to close the year. I think, all of a sudden,

1852
01:34:25,120 --> 01:34:28,200
Speaker 2: they're very much in the playoff picture. And then Alabama

1853
01:34:28,280 --> 01:34:30,880
Speaker 2: sitting at eight and two, they would play for an

1854
01:34:30,880 --> 01:34:33,840
Speaker 2: SEC championship game if they win out. The problem is

1855
01:34:33,840 --> 01:34:35,680
Speaker 2: they got to win out. And you know, you know

1856
01:34:35,760 --> 01:34:39,960
Speaker 2: this as well as anybody j Mart. They've historically not

1857
01:34:40,120 --> 01:34:43,040
Speaker 2: had a touch. They've struggled at allburn and so we'll

1858
01:34:43,080 --> 01:34:45,560
Speaker 2: see what happens there. But all of a sudden, Alabama,

1859
01:34:45,600 --> 01:34:48,720
Speaker 2: the stakes are completely different. Thanks to sixty minutes of

1860
01:34:48,760 --> 01:34:50,439
Speaker 2: football in tuscaloosive.

1861
01:34:50,160 --> 01:34:54,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean everything flipped. Oklahoma found their way.

1862
01:34:54,240 --> 01:34:56,160
Speaker 1: It looks like Oklahoma's going to be in I mean, yeah,

1863
01:34:56,160 --> 01:34:58,479
Speaker 1: if you lose to LSU and Missouri, then that's gonna

1864
01:34:58,479 --> 01:35:02,080
Speaker 1: be on you at that point point. But Alabama finding

1865
01:35:02,120 --> 01:35:05,599
Speaker 1: themselves in a spot where look that rivalry and the

1866
01:35:05,720 --> 01:35:08,880
Speaker 1: history behind it, you just never know. And look, this

1867
01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:11,599
Speaker 1: is Auburn post Q free, so they might have a chance.

1868
01:35:12,400 --> 01:35:15,040
Speaker 1: So I mean, you're gonna have to fight if you're Alabama.

1869
01:35:15,080 --> 01:35:17,679
Speaker 1: And again, like when we've watched that offense this year,

1870
01:35:18,240 --> 01:35:21,240
Speaker 1: it's been a little spotty, especially recently for Alabama, and

1871
01:35:21,320 --> 01:35:24,960
Speaker 1: Auburn possesses a pretty good defense. They're not going to

1872
01:35:24,960 --> 01:35:27,280
Speaker 1: be able to get away with and they didn't get

1873
01:35:27,280 --> 01:35:29,519
Speaker 1: away with the GOA to Oklahoma either, But they're not

1874
01:35:29,520 --> 01:35:31,080
Speaker 1: gonna be able to get away with those kind of

1875
01:35:31,080 --> 01:35:34,639
Speaker 1: turnovers and mental errors and some of those kinds of things.

1876
01:35:34,720 --> 01:35:37,040
Speaker 1: Like they can get beaten in that game. I do

1877
01:35:37,120 --> 01:35:39,920
Speaker 1: not think they will, but they're gonna have to play

1878
01:35:39,960 --> 01:35:42,640
Speaker 1: clean football. I mean, look, the bloom is off the

1879
01:35:42,720 --> 01:35:46,479
Speaker 1: roads because the coach lost wearing the black hoodie.

1880
01:35:46,680 --> 01:35:48,200
Speaker 2: Yeah sixteen, the.

1881
01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:51,000
Speaker 1: Streak is, the streak is over. And that was also

1882
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:54,479
Speaker 1: his first home loss at Alabama, which also gives more

1883
01:35:54,600 --> 01:35:57,800
Speaker 1: that's a more impressive win for Oklahoma doing it on

1884
01:35:57,840 --> 01:35:59,960
Speaker 1: the road in the way that they did as well.

1885
01:36:00,320 --> 01:36:03,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, the Our Bowl is matters a

1886
01:36:03,200 --> 01:36:06,200
Speaker 1: lot because if Alabama loses that game, I do not

1887
01:36:06,320 --> 01:36:07,320
Speaker 1: see them in the playoff.

1888
01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:10,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, it would take you know, they would

1889
01:36:10,800 --> 01:36:14,439
Speaker 2: have a very good win over Georgia, but they would

1890
01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:17,719
Speaker 2: have two very bad wins over Florida. State in Auburn,

1891
01:36:17,880 --> 01:36:20,760
Speaker 2: and so we'll see what happens there. Some other noteworthy

1892
01:36:20,800 --> 01:36:24,840
Speaker 2: results from Saturday, just trying to think, you know, we

1893
01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:28,439
Speaker 2: mentioned it earlier. A and M a twenty seven point

1894
01:36:28,479 --> 01:36:32,200
Speaker 2: halftime deficit overcome to segre gave the stats. SEC teams

1895
01:36:32,200 --> 01:36:35,680
Speaker 2: were zero and two. Eighty six went traily by that

1896
01:36:35,760 --> 01:36:38,360
Speaker 2: much at the half rally to win. A and M

1897
01:36:38,439 --> 01:36:41,280
Speaker 2: now ten and zero. They have Sanford next week and

1898
01:36:41,320 --> 01:36:45,240
Speaker 2: then they close against Texas. USC probably deserves a little

1899
01:36:45,240 --> 01:36:47,760
Speaker 2: bit of credit they beat Iowa. They are now eight

1900
01:36:47,800 --> 01:36:49,760
Speaker 2: into the big game next week by the way three

1901
01:36:49,760 --> 01:36:55,400
Speaker 2: point thirty eastern USC at Oregon. Obviously, if USC were

1902
01:36:55,400 --> 01:36:58,479
Speaker 2: to win that, the playoff race becomes just as interesting

1903
01:36:58,520 --> 01:37:01,000
Speaker 2: in the Big Ten. Notre Dame gets a top twenty

1904
01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:04,240
Speaker 2: five win. Should note there is still one Top fifteen

1905
01:37:04,280 --> 01:37:10,480
Speaker 2: team playing BYU up thirty seven thirteen on TCU BYU

1906
01:37:10,520 --> 01:37:14,080
Speaker 2: looking to get to nine and one. They are still

1907
01:37:14,080 --> 01:37:16,320
Speaker 2: in position to play for a Big twelve title. They

1908
01:37:16,320 --> 01:37:19,120
Speaker 2: would probably need to win the Big Twelve championship game

1909
01:37:19,439 --> 01:37:23,000
Speaker 2: to get into the College football playoff. Tell you what, Jamart.

1910
01:37:23,080 --> 01:37:26,320
Speaker 2: Unless there's anything college football related that we missed, I

1911
01:37:26,320 --> 01:37:29,920
Speaker 2: think we'll come back, and when we do, we'll switch

1912
01:37:29,960 --> 01:37:34,440
Speaker 2: gears to a loaded week eleven in the NFL. Philly, Detroit,

1913
01:37:34,960 --> 01:37:38,679
Speaker 2: Seattle Rams, all sorts of good games. We're gonna preview

1914
01:37:38,720 --> 01:37:38,960

1930
01:38:26,520 --> 01:38:28,960
Speaker 2: in the NFL. I'll tell you What'm Mary find us

1931
01:38:28,960 --> 01:38:32,760
Speaker 2: some music producer Shay. What game should we talk about first?

1932
01:38:32,760 --> 01:38:33,080
Speaker 1: I'll give it.

1933
01:38:33,120 --> 01:38:34,360
Speaker 2: I'll leave it up to you. What do you think?

1934
01:38:34,479 --> 01:38:34,960
Speaker 1: What's up?

1935
01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:39,400
Speaker 7: Guys, let's go into the night game Lions versus Eagles.

1936
01:38:39,439 --> 01:38:40,720
Speaker 7: We've got a lot to talk about with this one,

1937
01:38:40,760 --> 01:38:43,519
Speaker 7: so I thought we should start with this one. Lions

1938
01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:47,080
Speaker 7: are coming in as actually the underdogs at plus two

1939
01:38:47,120 --> 01:38:49,240
Speaker 7: and a half with the Eagles coming in at minus

1940
01:38:49,280 --> 01:38:50,040
Speaker 7: two and a half.

1941
01:38:50,720 --> 01:38:52,799
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, Ja Martin. I'll let you start

1942
01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:56,920
Speaker 2: because you lived the Aja Brown experience that everyone in

1943
01:38:56,960 --> 01:39:00,479
Speaker 2: Philadelphia is. I know you got some big bolt on

1944
01:39:00,479 --> 01:39:03,280
Speaker 2: what the future holds for the Eagles, which the future

1945
01:39:03,320 --> 01:39:06,080
Speaker 2: does probably will not include aj Brown very much past

1946
01:39:06,200 --> 01:39:08,439
Speaker 2: this season. But I'll go ahead give you the floor

1947
01:39:08,479 --> 01:39:09,800
Speaker 2: for this one to start things off.

1948
01:39:10,360 --> 01:39:16,240
Speaker 1: He's just he's very, very volatile in terms of his emotions.

1949
01:39:17,200 --> 01:39:21,439
Speaker 1: And I saw this play out in Nashville. I saw

1950
01:39:21,520 --> 01:39:25,240
Speaker 1: the discontent begin. I spent it was over money. At first,

1951
01:39:27,080 --> 01:39:30,400
Speaker 1: it was just it became more and more toxic, but

1952
01:39:30,680 --> 01:39:33,479
Speaker 1: it was cryptic tweets. It was you all to make

1953
01:39:33,520 --> 01:39:35,360
Speaker 1: it too much out of this. And then it was

1954
01:39:35,520 --> 01:39:37,840
Speaker 1: the video where it was Ham and Deebo Samuel and

1955
01:39:37,880 --> 01:39:40,720
Speaker 1: they were talking about money. And it was the offseason

1956
01:39:40,760 --> 01:39:43,320
Speaker 1: where four wide receivers all got paid, three of whom

1957
01:39:43,320 --> 01:39:45,880
Speaker 1: are now on New teams as a matter of fact

1958
01:39:46,320 --> 01:39:49,840
Speaker 1: a few years later. But AJ Brown can get disgruntled,

1959
01:39:50,560 --> 01:39:53,439
Speaker 1: and especially if you're not winning and he's not feeling

1960
01:39:53,520 --> 01:39:55,639
Speaker 1: like he's being utilized, that's not going to be good.

1961
01:39:55,720 --> 01:39:58,479
Speaker 1: I mean, look, here's the thing. All the stuff I

1962
01:39:58,520 --> 01:40:00,920
Speaker 1: just said about him due to to be talented and

1963
01:40:00,960 --> 01:40:03,880
Speaker 1: he is being underutilized. I'm not exactly sure what's happened there,

1964
01:40:03,880 --> 01:40:06,600
Speaker 1: but the relationship between him and Jay and Hurts on

1965
01:40:06,720 --> 01:40:09,200
Speaker 1: the field doesn't seem to exist anymore. You had two

1966
01:40:09,200 --> 01:40:12,640
Speaker 1: catches for thirteen yards in that Monday night whatever that

1967
01:40:12,680 --> 01:40:15,840
Speaker 1: game was, where it was like first to seven wins

1968
01:40:16,160 --> 01:40:19,080
Speaker 1: basically is what it felt like. So you know, there

1969
01:40:19,120 --> 01:40:21,000
Speaker 1: are something to think he's going to have this huge

1970
01:40:21,160 --> 01:40:26,000
Speaker 1: breakout game and like re emerge on the scene. Based

1971
01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:29,360
Speaker 1: on what I've seen and what I've covered and what

1972
01:40:29,479 --> 01:40:33,400
Speaker 1: I've lived, I don't see that at all. I'm not

1973
01:40:33,439 --> 01:40:34,920
Speaker 1: saying that the Eagles are going to lose a game.

1974
01:40:34,920 --> 01:40:36,920
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I think they probably will

1975
01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:40,280
Speaker 1: win because it's in their house in primetime. It's going

1976
01:40:40,360 --> 01:40:43,400
Speaker 1: to be you know, forty four degrees somewhere in that neighborhood.

1977
01:40:44,160 --> 01:40:45,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be the least a bit surprised to see

1978
01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:47,800
Speaker 1: the lines win. I am going to take Philadelphia to

1979
01:40:47,840 --> 01:40:50,479
Speaker 1: win this. But I don't think the AJ Brown story,

1980
01:40:50,520 --> 01:40:52,439
Speaker 1: even if he has a decent game, I don't think

1981
01:40:52,439 --> 01:40:54,800
Speaker 1: that it's over. And I do think that his days

1982
01:40:54,800 --> 01:40:57,400
Speaker 1: are numbered in Philadelphia because he wants out, and once

1983
01:40:57,439 --> 01:41:00,679
Speaker 1: he wants out, you don't want him around because things

1984
01:41:00,800 --> 01:41:02,519
Speaker 1: just start getting weird real fast.

1985
01:41:03,439 --> 01:41:07,360
Speaker 2: So I will say Philadelphia as well. They're a roller coaster.

1986
01:41:07,520 --> 01:41:09,080
Speaker 2: By the way, I don't know if we've talked about this,

1987
01:41:09,280 --> 01:41:12,920
Speaker 2: Like for all the crap Sirianni gets, seems to hold

1988
01:41:12,960 --> 01:41:15,800
Speaker 2: that locker room together. He's got a gift for you know,

1989
01:41:15,840 --> 01:41:18,519
Speaker 2: almost like Mike Tomlin back in the day, just stuff

1990
01:41:18,560 --> 01:41:22,960
Speaker 2: either doesn't get out or gets handled internally. I definitely

1991
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:26,920
Speaker 2: think it's weird. I definitely think it's whatever. I also

1992
01:41:27,040 --> 01:41:29,840
Speaker 2: just think back at home, I do think this is

1993
01:41:29,880 --> 01:41:34,559
Speaker 2: the right spot. Listen. I like the Lions a little

1994
01:41:34,560 --> 01:41:38,120
Speaker 2: bit inconsistent two and two in their last four. One

1995
01:41:38,160 --> 01:41:40,519
Speaker 2: of the losses was obviously in case. The other one

1996
01:41:40,600 --> 01:41:43,439
Speaker 2: was to the Vikings a few weeks ago when JJ

1997
01:41:43,520 --> 01:41:47,680
Speaker 2: McCarthy had the late push. Yeah. I as far as

1998
01:41:47,720 --> 01:41:49,960
Speaker 2: the AJ Brown stuff is concerned. Yeah, it's just it's over.

1999
01:41:51,040 --> 01:41:54,400
Speaker 2: They're the one team, by the way, I don't think

2000
01:41:54,439 --> 01:41:57,040
Speaker 2: they need the big play receiver, like it's it's a

2001
01:41:57,160 --> 01:42:01,200
Speaker 2: nice toy to have, but this isn't you know Dak

2002
01:42:01,280 --> 01:42:05,680
Speaker 2: Prescott the way that he's used in Dallas. It's not

2003
01:42:06,120 --> 01:42:09,559
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes, Like, you don't need that guy in this offense.

2004
01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:12,200
Speaker 2: It's about sa Quan It's about the Toush push. By

2005
01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:14,040
Speaker 2: the way. I don't know if he saw it. Loved

2006
01:42:14,080 --> 01:42:16,080
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell's comments on the Toush push because it was

2007
01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:19,200
Speaker 2: basically my take, which and he basically set out paraphrase

2008
01:42:19,240 --> 01:42:21,080
Speaker 2: for people who didn't hear it, but he basically said,

2009
01:42:21,600 --> 01:42:24,439
Speaker 2: I'm a football purist. It's my job to figure out

2010
01:42:24,479 --> 01:42:26,840
Speaker 2: a way to stop it. If you start taking that out,

2011
01:42:26,880 --> 01:42:29,120
Speaker 2: what's next. Then all of a sudden, you take two, three,

2012
01:42:29,200 --> 01:42:31,960
Speaker 2: four things out, it's not football anymore. So I love

2013
01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:34,960
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell's take. I bring it up to Yeah, it

2014
01:42:35,040 --> 01:42:37,400
Speaker 2: was great. I almost had shape pull the audio, but

2015
01:42:37,439 --> 01:42:39,080
Speaker 2: I was like, was all this college football, We're not

2016
01:42:39,080 --> 01:42:39,759
Speaker 2: gonna have time.

2017
01:42:40,320 --> 01:42:42,960
Speaker 1: But get that you're a football purist, but that's not football.

2018
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:46,400
Speaker 1: Take out a bunch of things that don't look like football.

2019
01:42:46,479 --> 01:42:50,000
Speaker 1: There's that one thing that does not feel like football

2020
01:42:50,040 --> 01:42:53,800
Speaker 1: and as awful as an entertainment product to watch. That's

2021
01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:54,880
Speaker 1: what we're talking about here.

2022
01:42:54,920 --> 01:42:59,240
Speaker 2: But me and Dan Campbell football purists keep the toush push.

2023
01:42:59,280 --> 01:43:01,200
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, Jay has the audio he's

2024
01:43:01,240 --> 01:43:05,080
Speaker 2: coming through. Here's Dan Campbell on the touch Bush.

2025
01:43:05,280 --> 01:43:08,080
Speaker 1: Problems with it this year? Is that cause, I mean,

2026
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:09,320
Speaker 1: I don't know.

2027
01:43:09,439 --> 01:43:12,200
Speaker 8: I don't Well, here's why I'm a purist man. You

2028
01:43:12,280 --> 01:43:14,000
Speaker 8: take something else out of the game, then we're taking

2029
01:43:14,040 --> 01:43:15,479
Speaker 8: the next thing out of the game. Then you're taking

2030
01:43:15,520 --> 01:43:17,400
Speaker 8: another thing out of the game. Then pretty soon we're

2031
01:43:17,439 --> 01:43:19,280
Speaker 8: not hoping, we don't have pads anymore, and then pretty

2032
01:43:19,280 --> 01:43:21,920
Speaker 8: soon it's you're only playing thirty minutes, and then pretty

2033
01:43:21,920 --> 01:43:25,040
Speaker 8: soon it's you know, So that's why I don't want

2034
01:43:25,040 --> 01:43:25,840
Speaker 8: to take it out of the game.

2035
01:43:26,040 --> 01:43:26,400
Speaker 1: There's a.

2036
01:43:28,560 --> 01:43:31,040
Speaker 8: You know, it's it's something a team's got a niche,

2037
01:43:31,080 --> 01:43:33,240
Speaker 8: they found something, they're good at it, and it's for

2038
01:43:33,280 --> 01:43:37,680
Speaker 8: everybody else to stop and uh and it's unique and

2039
01:43:37,720 --> 01:43:41,200
Speaker 8: it's physical, and I just, more than anything, I just

2040
01:43:41,240 --> 01:43:42,880
Speaker 8: don't want to take anything else out of the game,

2041
01:43:43,160 --> 01:43:44,759
Speaker 8: you know, I just want to leave the game alone.

2042
01:43:44,960 --> 01:43:49,559
Speaker 2: It's me, me and Dad can leave it alone.

2043
01:43:49,640 --> 01:43:52,600
Speaker 1: Leave it in the hands of officials that can't officiate

2044
01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:53,200
Speaker 1: it properly.

2045
01:43:54,560 --> 01:43:55,760
Speaker 2: I will say there there are.

2046
01:43:55,840 --> 01:43:57,000
Speaker 1: Go back to eating, Etcaps.

2047
01:43:57,000 --> 01:44:00,479
Speaker 2: Stand as you say, there are an abnormal number of

2048
01:44:00,600 --> 01:44:03,080
Speaker 2: false starts that seem to not get called. Shay, what

2049
01:44:03,200 --> 01:44:04,920
Speaker 2: game are we doing next? Let's keep going.

2050
01:44:05,200 --> 01:44:07,599
Speaker 7: Let's go to Minnesota where the two young quarterbacks are

2051
01:44:07,600 --> 01:44:10,640
Speaker 7: going at each other and Caleb Williams and JJ McCarthy.

2052
01:44:11,920 --> 01:44:14,320
Speaker 2: J Yeah, go ahead, J Martin.

2053
01:44:16,560 --> 01:44:18,519
Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of the Viking right now.

2054
01:44:20,520 --> 01:44:22,600
Speaker 1: They're just kind of floundering around. And it's not like

2055
01:44:22,680 --> 01:44:26,080
Speaker 1: McCarthy's done nothing, but I don't know what he is

2056
01:44:26,160 --> 01:44:29,520
Speaker 1: actually gonna be. But right now he's just very incomplete,

2057
01:44:30,240 --> 01:44:33,000
Speaker 1: and that team just kind of seems like it's flailing around.

2058
01:44:33,720 --> 01:44:35,760
Speaker 1: This is one where this is a get right game

2059
01:44:35,840 --> 01:44:38,440
Speaker 1: for them, because it's a big time game in division,

2060
01:44:38,880 --> 01:44:41,040
Speaker 1: and it's one where the Bears are starting to feel

2061
01:44:41,040 --> 01:44:43,679
Speaker 1: pretty good about themselves. But I actually think the Bears

2062
01:44:43,680 --> 01:44:45,200
Speaker 1: are going to go in their house and beat them.

2063
01:44:45,400 --> 01:44:47,360
Speaker 1: I just do. I think Ben Johnson is going to

2064
01:44:47,400 --> 01:44:49,720
Speaker 1: go in there with a solid game plan, and I

2065
01:44:49,760 --> 01:44:51,880
Speaker 1: do think that Caleb Williams has turned the corner a

2066
01:44:51,960 --> 01:44:54,320
Speaker 1: little bit. I don't see that changing yet. I'm not

2067
01:44:54,320 --> 01:44:56,679
Speaker 1: sure the Vikings defense is good enough to make it change.

2068
01:44:56,720 --> 01:44:58,840
Speaker 1: So give me the Bears on the road.

2069
01:44:59,280 --> 01:45:03,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I agree obviously. Look what they're doing this

2070
01:45:03,760 --> 01:45:07,200
Speaker 2: year is unbelievable. And I think, you know, the JJ

2071
01:45:07,320 --> 01:45:09,960
Speaker 2: McCarthy thing, it goes without saying. I know, as I

2072
01:45:10,080 --> 01:45:12,519
Speaker 2: just referenced, he did take care of business against the

2073
01:45:12,560 --> 01:45:16,280
Speaker 2: Lions a few weeks ago. Last week against Baltimore, twenty

2074
01:45:16,479 --> 01:45:22,200
Speaker 2: of forty two, one touchdown, two interceptions. Listen, O'Connell's a stud,

2075
01:45:22,439 --> 01:45:25,400
Speaker 2: I get it. But Ben Johnson's a stud too. He's

2076
01:45:25,439 --> 01:45:30,280
Speaker 2: got Caleb Williams playing clearly significantly better the Bears. The

2077
01:45:30,320 --> 01:45:33,760
Speaker 2: Bears are hot. After I don't know, fifty years of

2078
01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:36,400
Speaker 2: finding ways to lose games, they're now finding ways to

2079
01:45:36,439 --> 01:45:38,280
Speaker 2: win them. I'm gonna go ahead and take the Bears

2080
01:45:38,320 --> 01:45:39,840
Speaker 2: to win this one as well. By the way, let's

2081
01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:42,639
Speaker 2: not forget Week one. The Bears had him beat until

2082
01:45:42,720 --> 01:45:45,400
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy pulled you know, several rabbits out of his

2083
01:45:45,479 --> 01:45:48,800
Speaker 2: hat in Chicago that first Monday night game. So I'll

2084
01:45:48,800 --> 01:45:50,240
Speaker 2: take Chicago Shay, what's next.

2085
01:45:50,920 --> 01:45:54,720
Speaker 7: We got the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the Denver Broncos.

2086
01:45:54,760 --> 01:45:57,760
Speaker 7: In Denver, the Kansas City Chiefs are five and four

2087
01:45:57,760 --> 01:45:59,360
Speaker 7: and the Broncos are eight and two. But if I

2088
01:45:59,400 --> 01:46:01,840
Speaker 7: was to tell you this, Brad, you would think it's opposite,

2089
01:46:01,960 --> 01:46:04,479
Speaker 7: with the Kansas City Chiefs coming in as favorites with

2090
01:46:04,560 --> 01:46:05,280
Speaker 7: four points.

2091
01:46:06,320 --> 01:46:10,960
Speaker 2: Jam a, you're the resident of Broncos, guy.

2092
01:46:10,520 --> 01:46:13,280
Speaker 1: Broncos are eight and two. But it's not a It's

2093
01:46:13,320 --> 01:46:17,240
Speaker 1: like a Michigan eight and two. So true. It just

2094
01:46:17,439 --> 01:46:20,559
Speaker 1: is like, I don't know if Sean Payton trusts Boonicks.

2095
01:46:20,640 --> 01:46:23,479
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I trust Bonicks right now. At the

2096
01:46:23,479 --> 01:46:25,439
Speaker 1: same time, he seems to be he seems to come

2097
01:46:25,520 --> 01:46:28,280
Speaker 1: up big in big time moments for them, and the

2098
01:46:28,360 --> 01:46:31,920
Speaker 1: defense is just phenomenal. I also think the Chiefs are

2099
01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:33,800
Speaker 1: going to go into Denver and beat them. I don't

2100
01:46:33,800 --> 01:46:35,880
Speaker 1: think the Chiefs are going out like this. I don't don't.

2101
01:46:36,200 --> 01:46:37,960
Speaker 1: I don't look at this like a must win game

2102
01:46:38,040 --> 01:46:40,800
Speaker 1: like some others do. I still think there's time for

2103
01:46:40,880 --> 01:46:43,840
Speaker 1: them to turn it around. But this just feels like

2104
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:47,640
Speaker 1: one of those games where Monday the talking point is

2105
01:46:48,120 --> 01:46:51,360
Speaker 1: don't bury the Chiefs you're still gonna have to beat

2106
01:46:51,400 --> 01:46:53,960
Speaker 1: them in the playoffs. I think this is actually going

2107
01:46:54,000 --> 01:46:56,639
Speaker 1: to be a pretty statement performance by the Chiefs.

2108
01:46:56,920 --> 01:47:01,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm with you. So the I mean, listen,

2109
01:47:01,080 --> 01:47:04,400
Speaker 2: three point win over the Raiders last Thursday, three point

2110
01:47:04,479 --> 01:47:07,840
Speaker 2: win over the Texans. Excuse me one point.

2111
01:47:07,960 --> 01:47:10,760
Speaker 1: The Raiders game was one of the worst games, yes,

2112
01:47:11,960 --> 01:47:13,840
Speaker 1: that anyone could ever watch.

2113
01:47:14,400 --> 01:47:17,479
Speaker 2: Exactly, And so I get it. I get that they're

2114
01:47:17,479 --> 01:47:21,040
Speaker 2: atop the division. By the way, Oh my goodness, Sean Lewis,

2115
01:47:21,120 --> 01:47:24,000
Speaker 2: who is the San Diego State head coach, just took

2116
01:47:24,000 --> 01:47:27,559
Speaker 2: off his hat. Guy has the craziest tan line I've

2117
01:47:27,680 --> 01:47:30,920
Speaker 2: ever seen, like one of those golfer tan lines. Extreme. Anyway,

2118
01:47:31,200 --> 01:47:33,720
Speaker 2: I'm getting sidetracked. I have a short attention span. Forgive me,

2119
01:47:34,160 --> 01:47:37,720
Speaker 2: uh broncos I agree with everything you said. And I

2120
01:47:37,760 --> 01:47:41,679
Speaker 2: also just think, like I get why people are saying

2121
01:47:41,720 --> 01:47:44,439
Speaker 2: the things that they're saying about the Chiefs. The Chiefs

2122
01:47:44,479 --> 01:47:46,320
Speaker 2: are coming off of a bye, and I do think

2123
01:47:46,360 --> 01:47:48,920
Speaker 2: if you listen to those guys, it was like Andy

2124
01:47:48,960 --> 01:47:51,000
Speaker 2: Reid basically was like I gave them the whole week

2125
01:47:51,040 --> 01:47:53,680
Speaker 2: off because they just needed a hard reset, Like it's

2126
01:47:53,680 --> 01:47:56,160
Speaker 2: been a grind of a first half of the season.

2127
01:47:57,040 --> 01:47:59,720
Speaker 2: Obviously you didn't end the first half. You know it's

2128
01:47:59,720 --> 01:48:01,559
Speaker 2: not the first half, but you get the point of

2129
01:48:01,600 --> 01:48:04,719
Speaker 2: the way that you wanted. And I just think coming

2130
01:48:04,760 --> 01:48:06,879
Speaker 2: out of a bye, I do think there is something

2131
01:48:06,920 --> 01:48:10,000
Speaker 2: there against a Denver team that as you're as you

2132
01:48:10,080 --> 01:48:14,920
Speaker 2: pointed out, j mart has really struggled to close out,

2133
01:48:15,080 --> 01:48:17,439
Speaker 2: you know, to win games. They've won games, it hasn't

2134
01:48:17,479 --> 01:48:20,280
Speaker 2: been pretty. I like Casey as well. Let's wrap with

2135
01:48:20,479 --> 01:48:23,120
Speaker 2: Seahawks Rams. Shaye, what's the spread there?

2136
01:48:23,320 --> 01:48:26,840
Speaker 7: So yeah, we got Seahawks Rams with the Rams coming

2137
01:48:26,840 --> 01:48:29,280
Speaker 7: in as three and a half point favorites. It did

2138
01:48:29,360 --> 01:48:31,439
Speaker 7: open up as two and a half though, so it's

2139
01:48:31,439 --> 01:48:32,400
Speaker 7: moved up to the point.

2140
01:48:32,880 --> 01:48:35,080
Speaker 2: So money's coming in on the Rams. I'll be quick,

2141
01:48:37,000 --> 01:48:41,559
Speaker 2: you know, as mister anti Sam Darnold, I've completely flipped.

2142
01:48:41,600 --> 01:48:43,200
Speaker 2: I love him, by the way. I think we talked

2143
01:48:43,240 --> 01:48:45,799
Speaker 2: about this last week. J Martin Jackson Smith and Jigbo

2144
01:48:46,080 --> 01:48:49,439
Speaker 2: was so good at Ohio State and then got hurt

2145
01:48:49,640 --> 01:48:52,160
Speaker 2: the last year and so nobody saw it, and so

2146
01:48:52,240 --> 01:48:54,360
Speaker 2: I just bring it up. I'm happy that he's having

2147
01:48:54,400 --> 01:48:59,280
Speaker 2: his moment. I will also say, yeah, I'll also say

2148
01:48:59,280 --> 01:49:02,400
Speaker 2: though we've dead wrong on the Rams, like thirty seven times,

2149
01:49:02,479 --> 01:49:05,680
Speaker 2: and so we have I'll just be quick, Rams are

2150
01:49:05,720 --> 01:49:09,599
Speaker 2: at home. The Seahawks have lost to basically, you know,

2151
01:49:09,640 --> 01:49:12,840
Speaker 2: you start looking at who the Seahawks have beat two times.

2152
01:49:12,840 --> 01:49:17,040
Speaker 2: They've beaten the Cardinals, the Jags, the Texans, the Commanders

2153
01:49:17,120 --> 01:49:19,519
Speaker 2: in that Sunday night game. The point I'm trying to

2154
01:49:19,520 --> 01:49:20,800
Speaker 2: make I'm gonna take the Rams at home.

2155
01:49:21,400 --> 01:49:24,200
Speaker 1: Yep, so pretty much everything you just said. By the way,

2156
01:49:25,120 --> 01:49:30,000
Speaker 1: JSN has over one thousand yards receiving already this season.

2157
01:49:30,680 --> 01:49:33,400
Speaker 1: I hope this is a great game. I could see

2158
01:49:33,439 --> 01:49:36,240
Speaker 1: this being a tough day for Darnold and that offense

2159
01:49:36,280 --> 01:49:38,680
Speaker 1: because the Rams defense has been real good. As good

2160
01:49:38,680 --> 01:49:40,479
Speaker 1: as the offense has been. We know how good they are.

2161
01:49:40,520 --> 01:49:43,280
Speaker 1: I mean, Stafford's been amazing and Kyraen Williams has been

2162
01:49:43,560 --> 01:49:47,240
Speaker 1: excellent as well. But this one might be tough because

2163
01:49:47,240 --> 01:49:49,599
Speaker 1: the Rams are really good at taking the football away

2164
01:49:49,640 --> 01:49:52,439
Speaker 1: from other teams, and I think that might happen again.

2165
01:49:52,680 --> 01:49:55,000
Speaker 1: I totally agree with you with the Rams winning at home.

01:56:07,880 --> 01:56:10,120
Speaker 2: in the regular season at Mississippi State. They actually go

2285
01:56:10,200 --> 01:56:12,440
Speaker 2: into a bye this week, which is kind of interesting.

2286
01:56:13,120 --> 01:56:16,080
Speaker 2: But he was again asked about his future and specifically

2287
01:56:16,120 --> 01:56:19,200
Speaker 2: about the Florida job, he said, quote, I love what

2288
01:56:19,280 --> 01:56:21,760
Speaker 2: we're doing here today. Was awesome. To even talk about

2289
01:56:21,800 --> 01:56:24,080
Speaker 2: it right now would be so disrespectful to our players

2290
01:56:24,120 --> 01:56:26,160
Speaker 2: and how they played today. We've got a lot of

2291
01:56:26,440 --> 01:56:30,280
Speaker 2: good things going here, doing really really well. Quote I

2292
01:56:30,320 --> 01:56:32,840
Speaker 2: love it here. I'm gonna throw it to you in

2293
01:56:32,920 --> 01:56:35,440
Speaker 2: half a second. J Mart, I just want to say this.

2294
01:56:37,000 --> 01:56:40,120
Speaker 2: I understand the idea of focusing on the task at hand,

2295
01:56:40,600 --> 01:56:43,520
Speaker 2: and I understand the idea of when you are a

2296
01:56:43,600 --> 01:56:49,080
Speaker 2: commodity in a negotiation situation, using the leverage that you can.

2297
01:56:50,080 --> 01:56:53,720
Speaker 2: But if you are dead serious about not taking another job,

2298
01:56:54,560 --> 01:56:58,160
Speaker 2: just sign a freaking extension. Like I'm almost annoyed by it.

2299
01:56:58,200 --> 01:57:01,120
Speaker 2: And I'm not even an old miss fan. It's just like,

2300
01:57:01,640 --> 01:57:04,120
Speaker 2: by the way, Mike Elko signed an extension today, Kurt

2301
01:57:04,200 --> 01:57:07,240
Speaker 2: Signetti has signed an extension. Matt Ruhle has signed an extension.

2302
01:57:07,560 --> 01:57:10,040
Speaker 2: Don't tell me you have to wait until the end

2303
01:57:10,040 --> 01:57:13,280
Speaker 2: of the season, which has been his common refrain, is

2304
01:57:13,600 --> 01:57:16,959
Speaker 2: I don't negotiate during the season. Just sign the extension

2305
01:57:16,960 --> 01:57:19,920
Speaker 2: if you want to be there. And the longer this

2306
01:57:20,040 --> 01:57:23,680
Speaker 2: goes on, I'm sorry, but the longer people in the media,

2307
01:57:23,720 --> 01:57:26,200
Speaker 2: guys like you and I guys, like everybody across the

2308
01:57:26,520 --> 01:57:29,120
Speaker 2: network are going to continue to talk about this, and

2309
01:57:29,160 --> 01:57:31,280
Speaker 2: there's a very easy way to resolve it, and Lane

2310
01:57:31,320 --> 01:57:32,480
Speaker 2: Kiffin refuses to do it.

2311
01:57:33,280 --> 01:57:38,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, I mean he's done everything but the thing

2312
01:57:38,520 --> 01:57:41,440
Speaker 1: that would make it a non issue. He's done the

2313
01:57:41,480 --> 01:57:44,200
Speaker 1: one thing, but shut it down even in his comments there. Oh,

2314
01:57:44,600 --> 01:57:47,480
Speaker 1: it would be disrespectful to even talk about it. That's

2315
01:57:47,600 --> 01:57:51,360
Speaker 1: not saying no to it. That's as a matter of fact,

2316
01:57:51,360 --> 01:57:54,720
Speaker 1: it's leaving it wide open. And yeah, you're using your leverage.

2317
01:57:55,280 --> 01:57:58,240
Speaker 1: You're gonna get paid somewhere, whether it's more at Ole

2318
01:57:58,280 --> 01:58:01,200
Speaker 1: Miss or it's going to be Florida or whatever it's

2319
01:58:01,240 --> 01:58:04,840
Speaker 1: gonna be. And it's fun to be wanted, and you're

2320
01:58:04,880 --> 01:58:07,320
Speaker 1: kind of the guy right now, and so that makes

2321
01:58:07,320 --> 01:58:09,440
Speaker 1: the thing. But yeah, I mean, it's got to be

2322
01:58:09,480 --> 01:58:11,520
Speaker 1: frustrating for old Miss fans because I feel like a

2323
01:58:11,520 --> 01:58:13,840
Speaker 1: lot of them already think he's gone and he may

2324
01:58:13,960 --> 01:58:17,560
Speaker 1: well not be. And look, they'll be fine if he

2325
01:58:17,640 --> 01:58:19,160
Speaker 1: ends ups on the extension at the end of the

2326
01:58:19,240 --> 01:58:21,640
Speaker 1: year he comes back, they'll fall in love with him

2327
01:58:21,640 --> 01:58:22,040
Speaker 1: all over it.

2328
01:58:22,080 --> 01:58:22,360
Speaker 2: Again.

2329
01:58:23,320 --> 01:58:26,200
Speaker 1: This kind of thing happens, and it's a business and

2330
01:58:26,240 --> 01:58:28,480
Speaker 1: all this other kind of stuff. But if he leaves,

2331
01:58:28,520 --> 01:58:32,360
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be that much more difficult because he's

2332
01:58:32,480 --> 01:58:35,640
Speaker 1: just kind of he's beat around the bush in a

2333
01:58:35,680 --> 01:58:38,400
Speaker 1: way where it's like you feel like he's gonna leave.

2334
01:58:38,440 --> 01:58:40,680
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be awesome if he if he comes back,

2335
01:58:40,720 --> 01:58:42,840
Speaker 1: but if not, you're just gonna be sour about it

2336
01:58:42,880 --> 01:58:49,000
Speaker 1: because he's been so dismissive without actually addressing anything.

2337
01:58:49,480 --> 01:58:52,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just I guess my big thing is that

2338
01:58:53,200 --> 01:58:55,720
Speaker 2: there's just such an easy way to resolve this. And oh,

2339
01:58:55,760 --> 01:58:59,920
Speaker 2: by the way, you can put it to bed while

2340
01:59:00,120 --> 01:59:03,760
Speaker 2: you're in negotiations, like Dan Lanning, to his credit, every

2341
01:59:03,800 --> 01:59:05,880
Speaker 2: single year is linked to a job, and every single

2342
01:59:05,960 --> 01:59:08,720
Speaker 2: year comes out and says, I am not a candidate anywhere.

2343
01:59:08,960 --> 01:59:12,200
Speaker 2: I love Oregon. I am not leaving. Do not ask

2344
01:59:12,280 --> 01:59:15,480
Speaker 2: me this again. And so listen to your point, ole miss.

2345
01:59:15,480 --> 01:59:17,280
Speaker 2: Fans are happy to have him, they know they're lucky

2346
01:59:17,320 --> 01:59:19,200
Speaker 2: to have him, and they hope he stays forever. But

2347
01:59:19,240 --> 01:59:22,760
Speaker 2: I understand any frustration of just like we need an

2348
01:59:22,760 --> 01:59:24,480
Speaker 2: answer right now, we need to resolve this, all right,

2349
01:59:24,480 --> 01:59:25,720
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what we gotta get out of here.

2350
01:59:25,800 --> 01:59:27,720
Speaker 2: I want to thank the crew. Mary Mack on the

2351
