86
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: I want to start. And I know we've talked to Mario,

87
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: we talked a little bit yesterday. Is the U back.

88
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: Is the U back? And here's where I stand on it.

89
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: They're going to be better than what they were because

90
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to recruit at a very high level.

91
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: He's gonna put a good staff around him. He's gonna

92
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: be able to recruit at very high level. At the

93
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: end of the day, this game comes down to players. Now,

94
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: there's questions about his end game coaching. You'll hear that

95
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: from from multiple places. You look at Utah, Kyle Winningham,

96
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: you know, taking him out to the woodshed twice, did

97
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: win a Rose Bowl at Oregon. But when I look

98
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: at what Mario Crystal Ball can bring to Miami. They'll

99
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: get better up front, and that is the great separator.

100
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: You look at what separates the secs from everybody else.

101
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: It's not the wide receivers, it's not the running backs.

102
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: It's up front. It's the offensive line and the defensive line.

103
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: And Mario Christa Ball a formerligneman himself. His specialty is

104
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: bringing in big time aligneman. And in Miami, all you

105
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: need is a spark. So to me, I you know,

106
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: calling the prodigal son, call him, you know, the chosen

107
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: one in Miami. We feel like that's always the narrative.

108
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: People were saying that about many ideas, but this is

109
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: the guy, This is the guy. To me, I think

110
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: it was a great hire. I think it was a

111
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: home run higher And yes, I think that you will

112
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: be back, But what does that mean. Do I think

113
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: Miami will win a national championship every three years? No,

114
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: but Miami will be back to being physical, They'll be relevant,

115
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: and it gives you another team in acc and I

116
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: know Clemson was down this year. That gives you another

117
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: team in acc that I think will be good. And

118
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: if that's that happens like I think it's gonna happen.

119
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: It's good for the game because the better Miami is,

120
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: the better Fida State's gonna be yes, because they're gonna

121
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: have to match it. You already look now, since Mario

122
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: Christa Ball got hired, Florida States all over social media

123
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: trying to you know, gas it up. We're not afraid

124
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: whatever whatever Florida gets Billy Napier as well. But a

125
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: good college football has a good Miami, and a good

126
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: Miami helps gives a better chance for a good FSU

127
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: and vice versa. What better time is there to come

128
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: into Miami right now? You got two the Holy Trinity

129
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: of Florida. The other two are down right now. I

130
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: think Billy Napier is going to do a good job

131
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: at Florida, but Florida States down okay, and then Clemson

132
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: finally had a down year with the dynasty that they've created.

133
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: What a great time to come into Miami. I think

134
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: that it's a good hire. I think that he is

135
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: going to do something similar to what Pete Carroll did

136
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: on the West Coast. He's going to have the Keyshawn's

137
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: there right Eddy, Like he's going to have these guys

138
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,679
Speaker 1: there on the sideline in the locker room giving speeches.

139
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: It's going to be fun to play there again. My

140
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: question is what are the foundational issues and can they

141
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: be overcome? Like I said the other day, anytime you're

142
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: hiring a coach and an ad at the same time,

143
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: and you kind of were wondering if you should even

144
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: fire the coach who was there a lot of last

145
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: minute stuff. Now, what I've been told from the Miami

146
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: sources is nothing here was knee jerk. This was the

147
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: plan all along, just kind of stumbled at the finish

148
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: line to go get your coach. But at the end

149
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: of the day, there's only so few guys out there

150
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: who can take you to an elite level. And you

151
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: know they'll say that, and look, I don't doubt that

152
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: that it wasn't knee jerk, but I don't think it

153
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: was handled very well by Miami. Now, you know, Manny Diaz,

154
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, not only did you get fired, you found

155
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: out at the end of the day you were really

156
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: the side check and that's the toughest part. But but

157
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,559
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, say what you want.

158
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: You got the guy you wanted. As ugly as it was,

159
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: as ugly as well. There's been a lot of home

160
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: runs hit on O two counts. Fellas, Yeah, a lot

161
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: of home runs hit on O two counts. And that's

162
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: what Miami did here. But do I think again, and

163
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: I'll go back to it, what is being back mean?

164
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: Being back means you're back relevant again. You're back relevant

165
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: in the ACC, you're back relevant in the national picture,

166
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: and you do that through recruiting. Now, one other caveat

167
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: we have to say here, it looks like a billionaire

168
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: in Miami. I think John Ruiz is his name, is

169
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: going to build an on campus stadium. Okay, that would

170
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: be huge. Look, I coach at South Alabama. I know

171
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: what it's like to have to drive thirty minutes downtown

172
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: to have to go play a game, a home game.

173
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: It's not super conducive. I mean you look at out

174
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: west on the West Coast, people having to you know,

175
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: go to the Rose Bowl and stuff like that, coliseum whatever. Like.

176
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, that on campus stadium

177
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: would be as big, in my opinion as hiring the coach.

178
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: And if they get that done, and they'll get it

179
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: done the way they want, Miami is going to be

180
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: a problem. I'm just telling you what's Miami bad boys?

181
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: Bad boys, that's what they need. Yeah, Miami's an image school,

182
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: that's what they need. They're bad boys, dog, they don't

183
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,599
Speaker 1: take any shit from nobody. The defense is legitimate. And

184
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,599
Speaker 1: Mario kind of fits that narrative going in there. And

185
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: if Mario can bring that image back right in, Miami

186
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: can have success early. If they have success early, almost

187
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: every kid someone wants to go to Miami. Yeah, deep

188
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: down they want to go to Mario run recruiter of

189
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: the Year in twenty fifteen, a couple PAC twelve, you know,

190
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: division championships, and that's fine. But Mario can recruit recruit.

191
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: He can recruit guys upfront, and Miami there you are

192
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: not limited to speed to skill. Players in Miami are

193
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: in Florida, they're everywhere, walk outside, they're probably for them sitting.

194
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: Can recruit upfront. And the biggest thing for Miami is

195
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: they need that image back. They need that status back

196
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: because once you get that status back, you start that funnel.

197
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: And once you start that funnel, next thing you know,

198
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: you're down the season. You look back at two national championships. Yeah, well,

199
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: well look, there's an old saying. Perception is reality. All

200
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: they need is a little moment. Yeah, Miami isn't a

201
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: school that you've got to take it dump it's on

202
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: its head. Dumping on its head, change your identity? Who

203
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: are we know? When Miami is good? How they do

204
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: it like this isn't You don't have to be Nicholas

205
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: Cage from National Treasure and and go in Philadelphia and

206
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: wait for the sun to hit brick, you know, and

207
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: hit it the bricks like wow, it's Mario Christo baal,

208
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: you know, this is how we got to do it

209
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: that there is no secret. So do I think Mario

210
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,599
Speaker 1: Christoval can take Miami two places they haven't been in

211
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 1: a while, You are dad gum right? I do. And

212
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: it's great for college. A quick word on the on

213
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: campus stadiums. You know, this isn't as big of a

214
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: deal in the NFL. It's fine if the Giants and

215
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: the Jets, you know, being in New York want to

216
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: play in New Jersey, right, they're professionals. But this is

217
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: what makes the college game so great is that on

218
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: campus atmosphere and maybe some big cities kind of miss

219
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: out on that. I think about going to ann Arbor,

220
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: everything was based around not only the football program and

221
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 1: that university, but even that stadium where it's located. So

222
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: I think that that would be a home run decision

223
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: in terms of the recruits and making Miami feel like, hey,

224
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: this is where we play our home football games and

225
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: we're going to gain an advantage from it. Yeah, it's

226
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: exactly right. So Booster Club. Obviously, we want to know

227
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: what you guys are thinking. I know we're not live,

228
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: but I can feel you guys in the chat. I

229
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: feel them too, I can I can feel you guys

230
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: in the chat going to each other and probably me

231
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: as well. But I tell you what, David Pollock has

232
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: a certain report card grade that he gave the Miami

233
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 1: higher I think you guys are gonna find interesting and

234
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: guess what you didn't pass. So that's a that's about

235
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: I guess it's the way you look at it, the

236
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: certain way you look at it, and how bad that

237
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: lettergrade really was. But make sure you guys stick with us.

238
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: There got a great show as well. Again, we are

239
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: live now prerecorded as you're seeing it from the Aria Hotel.

240

Speaker 1: are going to be live, truly live tomorrow back home,

244
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: getting on the plane early, getting on the Red eye,

245
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: and gotta find our way back home. So I appreciate you, guys,

246
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: and let's move on. Look, our next guest needs no introduction.

247
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: He's on the intro. One of my favorite guys in

248
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: the world to interview. Was one of the best defensive

249
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: ends of all time. That's why he's going into the

250
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. You can catch him on ESPN all

251
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: over college football. One of my favorite guys to listen to.

252
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: First off, DP, you know, I got love for your brother.

253
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: I want to say congratulations. Nobody deserves it more than

254
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: you do. Whatever, let's get the football. Why why is

255
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: my guy? But anyways, anyways, let's talk about it. Playoff

256
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: top four. How do you feel about it? I'm good

257
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,599
Speaker 1: with it. I would have been fine if Michigan was

258
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: won too. I wouldn't have had a problem with I

259
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: think they were making a statement with that Iowa game.

260
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: They want to continue. I don't think anybody had any

261
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: bones about Iowa being a top team. In college football.

262
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 1: Um so, I think Alabama beating the number one team

263
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 1: the way they did as handily as they did, and

264
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: we all thought they were the number one team, and

265
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: Georgia has been by the way they have been, there's

266
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: no debate. I got a kick out of the people

267
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: now that say Georgia doesn't belong in the college football playoff.

268
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: Those are the Those are the funny guys that fired

269
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: either either or yeah, those are the funny guys I

270
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 1: think that haven't seen the whole season or just forget

271
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: Oh now, let's just start pointing to wins and what

272
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: they didn't do. And but no, I think Alabama earns

273
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: the one seed. And listen, I don't care if you

274
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 1: rematch in the semifinals. I don't give a crap. That

275
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: doesn't bother me, Like you gotta win twice, whoever it is.

276
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: If it's Alabama, you gotta beat Georgia. If you had

277
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: to beat him in the NATI or beat him the semifinals,

278
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: so be it. But Cincinnati, you're Cincinnati bearcass Hey, they

279
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,599
Speaker 1: wanted that smoke and now they get the blood, the

280
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: true the goat at QB, the mini key. Let's be

281
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: best friends, dot com Bowl, this one, this one, this

282
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: one matters, and you're gonna see it. But this Alabama

283
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: Georgia game, you know, and again, to me, Alabama george

284
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: has become one of the low key best rivalries we

285
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: have sport because you have two of the most elite

286
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: rosters in college football. But you know, DP, I'm not

287
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: a trends guy. Man, I'm not a guy that's like, well,

288
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: this happened the past four years, so it's definitely gonna

289
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: happen this year, new team, new circumstances. But that's five man. Nope, Like,

290
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 1: when I look at is it is it something mental?

291
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 1: Am I just missing it? Or is it just Alabama

292
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: and Nick Saban continuing to find ways and use that

293
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: you know, quote unquote rat poison. Nick Saban invinced the

294
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: term then uses the term against the people he invented

295
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: it to stop that. It's unbelievable that subconscious or Okay,

296
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: so let's talk about this. Let's talk about every single

297
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: match up with Alabama and Georgia. What's the difference. There's

298
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: there's clearly one thing that's different every year they play

299
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,599
Speaker 1: quarterback exactly. Yeah, Kirby's figured out how to be the

300
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: best recruiter in the country. He hasn't figured out the

301
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: quarterback spot. He hasn't gotten that guy. Bryce Young did

302
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: it like he did it by himself. What do you

303
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: say about Jake From though it wasn't him that gave

304
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: up to take Jakes From was very average. Jake From

305
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: was a let's be honest, they were right there. Jake

306
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 1: Farm was really really good. Jake listen. Jake Farm is

307
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: what Stetson is. He's a game manager. He was He

308
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: was never a guy who was gonna go out and win.

309
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: You a natty Bryce Young to to a tongue Valoa.

310
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: They make those off schedule, off script plays that you

311
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: but you can't coach it, like you can't. I can't

312
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: teach you how to stop that. You know, once you

313
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: once they start having success, you boots, Bryce Young, he

314
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: makes two people miss Nolan Smith breaks a Trayvion Walker

315
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: play and then flips it backwards. Yeah, just just flips

316
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: it backwards like it's just it's been the quarterback spot

317
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: and that's something that you know, They've got to do

318
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: a better job of addressing that spot to. I like Stetson, Ben,

319
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: I love Stetson Bed. I think he's a great play.

320
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: I think he's a really, really good player, but he's

321
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: not a player that you say, how do you beat

322
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: a team that's all time best front seven we've ever seen.

323
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: I throwed every play. I don't care about the run game.

324
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: I wear them out like I dink and dunk. I scramble,

325
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: I make plays. Get it another first down, get another

326
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: first down, like it's it was a clinic. It was.

327
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: It was an unbelievable job by Alabama. But more importantly,

328
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: Bryce Young wanna Heisman off of that game. He did,

329
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: And to me, it's like watching that point guard that

330
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: you try and double in basketball and he splits it

331
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: and there's nobody there to sign him, or he throws

332
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: the ally behind his head because nobody's covering the four.

333
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: But you know, DP two, you have. You hear a

334
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: lot of people talking about, you know what, JT needs

335
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: to be the guy. J T needs to be the

336
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: guy when I'm looking when I'm looking at it. To me,

337
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: if JT was the guy, he would have got in

338
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: that game. Like at the end of the day, I'm

339
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: talking about Kirby and them are not gonna not play

340
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: the best player, especially at the quarterback position. If he

341
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: was that good. We'd have seen him right well, and

342
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: it's just like healthy whatever. Well, and it's just like

343
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: Justin Fields. Justin Fields wasn't Justin Fields. Wasn't even on

344
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: Jake From's level as a freshman because he didn't know

345
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: the playbook. He didn't know protections. Like Georgia asked you

346
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: to do all that stuff. You go to Ohio State,

347
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: you're running zone reads and they call the protections for

348
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: you every time, like calling the play from the sidelines.

349
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: It's a different animal. So, um, I think it would

350
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: Justin would have gotten there one hundred percent, but it

351
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: would have taken time. U J's JT's not Stetson. Stetson, Um,

352
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: Stetson's guy. Everybody in that locker room's back. Everybody loves him.

353
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: M dude has a flip phone. He didn't even an iPhone,

354
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: by the way. Just that makes me love him even more. Um,

355
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: but he just he gives you the running threat. Now listen,

356
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: I'll say this with this offense, I said, Stetson's the

357
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: best guy because he can run and gives you a bill.

358
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: And the offensive line wasn't that good. I thought they

359
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: actually protected Stetson pretty well too well. Anderson was pretty quiet, like, um,

360
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: I thought they did a pretty good job. So listen,

361
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: I think JT is a good player. I do. I

362
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: think he's but I don't think JT's that dude either.

363
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: He ain't Bryce Young um, and I still think you

364
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: need some form of a running By the way, we

365
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: saw a healthy JT. Daniel against Clemson. Yeah, you saw

366
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: that so and they scored three points off. I saw

367
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: him bring him in and it escapes him right now,

368
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: maybe his Arkansas game. And I watched him till a

369
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: slant three feet behind the wide receiver. Like you at

370
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: the end of the day, if you're ready and you're

371
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: healthy to play, and you're the guy, then you'd have

372
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: seen him probably after the pick six from Jordan Battle

373
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: in my opinion, that I didn't see him then that's

374
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: when I was like whatever, But a couple more questions

375
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: for you. You know you're a busy man to day

376
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: in Vegas the wolf Pack. As I mentioned, I'm gonna

377
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna save new coaching hires. Can you give me

378
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: a report card grade A to F. Just what you

379
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: think that's cool? Oklahoma Inventibles, B Mario and Miami d Oh.

380
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: I like that. I don't know. I just spent all

381
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: that money. I think Oregon was pretty happy not to

382
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: spend all that money. By the way, Um, Cristal Ball

383
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: is an elite recruiter. Um. I've said it for years

384
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: and I'll continue to say it. I just the game

385
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: ending situations. He's very he struggled with mightily. They have

386
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: more talent than everybody in their league right now. So

387
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: why can't they go win that league? Why why they

388
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: just got punched in the face over and over and

389
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: over again by Utah and had no answer, Like I

390
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: just I'm not spending that much money. If I might listen,

391
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 1: I know he's the prodigal son. He comes home all

392
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: that good stuff, and I think he'll recruit well. But

393
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I don't think it's something that

394
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: I'm paying that much money for. When I'm changing everything

395
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: I might have. Brian Kelly lsu I say B plus

396
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: B plus to an A minus. Um southern accent was

397
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: an f that that wasn't that wasn't that wasn't a

398
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: good start. But I'll say this, b K is a

399
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: heck of a coach and he's gonna do it his way.

400
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: He'll do it his way, um, and he'll let you

401
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: know it's his way. He's got a brash personality. He's

402
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: a Brian Kelly is a okay. For example, listening to

403
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: him talk to the coach, to the to the basketball team.

404
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: I haven't even won a game yet. I would love

405
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 1: for you to be a week guy, not an eye guy,

406
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: like I would love for us to start. You know,

407
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: my staff, We're gonna put together a great staff. Um.

408
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: You know he's he's in the process right now. And

409
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,959
Speaker 1: I know a bunch of people there of recruiting his players.

410
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: And I would say, the players that are there, just watch.

411
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: It will be a mass exodus. There will be a

412
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: lot of people leave because he's a different bird. He'll

413
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: he's he's been physical, he's been tough, he finds ways

414
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,239
Speaker 1: to win the same. By the way, Yeah, and by

415
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 1: the way, kudos to Brian Kelly. Brian Kelly didn't duck

416
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: the SEC's like this, Like he's walking in the room.

417
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: He's walking in the rina like this and saying, bring

418
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: it right here. I want to play Alabama with great players.

419
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: I want to play Georgia with great players. Yeah, that's

420
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: why he went there. He didn't go there for money.

421
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: Money was great. He'd got more money at Notre Dame.

422
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: He's made plenty of money. He went there because he

423
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: wanted all that smoke. And I love that. Yeah, I

424
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: do too. Talk about all time speaking to that opposite

425
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: end of the spectrum, you know, doses him a most

426
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: is Lincoln Riley going to USC? What you think? Here's

427
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: the thing. I think it's I still think it's an

428
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: A or a B minus. And I say that because

429
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: USC has such a great brand, and Lincoln Riley brings

430
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: Look at his recruiting dude, Oh he's he's got so

431
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: much behind. What he walks in a recruit in the

432
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: living room is like, hey, bro Kyler, Murray, Baker, Mayfield,

433
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, do you want heisman here? Do you want

434
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: to be number one? Okay, here's the just sign right here. Yeah,

435
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: we'll worry about this later. Like, well, he's just got

436
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: so much listen. Bob Stoops handed him a Ferrari. Bob

437
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: Stoops handed him a true unbelievable programming. He's gonna have

438
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: to prove he can build it. But I'll say this,

439
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: the further they got away from Bob Stoops players, the

440
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: less physical they were. Early in the career and the treches.

441
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: They were something. They were some tough, hit you in

442
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: the face kind of guys. They run the football worse

443
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: and worse again. He went to the Pac twelve for

444
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: a reason, and he deserves an ay just for his contract.

445
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: I just want to borrow the jet occasionally, bros. Give

446
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: me some of that. It's like, hey, we gotta go

447
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: to Walmart. We only got eight minutes. Oh wait, let

448
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,479
Speaker 1: me get into g I mean, it's that good for him,

449
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 1: Professor X taking terms taking the jet. By the way,

450
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: this is I'm going into coaching. I'm just I'm leaving

451
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: next year. You want to start a team, Let's get

452
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: a fish up Sycamore and turn it around. Amen. I

453
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: want to get fired, Well, yeah, for sure, that's all

454
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: went ou when I was in coaching. Michael was just

455
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: get to my first buyout. Just get to my first bout.

456
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: You want to fire me and count that work for you.

457
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,719
Speaker 1: We'll shake hands. I don't know. I'm starting to think

458
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: I made a good decision. But no, last question, and

459
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: I gotta give you props. Here, you made a prediction

460
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: before the season talking about the prodigal son Here said

461
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: Georgia would lose the BAMA in the SEC Championship game. Yep,

462
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: and win the Natty and beat him in the Natty,

463
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: beat Alabama in the rematch. You're still feeling it. I'm

464
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: gonna stick. I feel less confident after using the other day.

465
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: I feel less confident in Georgian. But I do think

466
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: if you saw the second half, I do think Georgia's

467
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: defense played better. Now, John Meti didn't play either, which

468
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: was a big loss for Alabama, but I thought they

469
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: became more aggressive, blitzmore and had a lot more success.

470
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. Kirby's lost to Nick a lot.

471
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: And then guess what happens with Georgia. Because Georgia plays

472
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: in the SEC and they play BAM in the championship,

473
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: they go to five and they watch they don't get

474
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: to play in the playoffs. Yeah, well, now you get

475
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: some of that yummy rat poison for the next month.

476
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna work out well for Georgia.

477
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: I think they'll have a better plan offensively. Now I

478
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: think you know what Bill O'Brien's gonna do. And now

479
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: I think that's about better players, and it's about who's

480
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: properly motivated. I think Georgia will be motivated. There was talk,

481
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: there was total of a wager. You talk this, okay,

482
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: squeezing comes right, he is gonna go listen, there is

483
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 1: a battle brewing in Miami, Dave, Okay, yes they're Alma Maters,

484
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: all right. And as we sit here in Las Vegas,

485
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 1: you said there was talk of a wager. You name

486
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 1: it you. I don't know. Maybe there's a dunking booth

487
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: situation at his charity event next summer. Maybe I don't know.

488
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: Let's get creative. Something of the golf tournament will be solid.

489
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: I like that running through his char set up. But

490
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,479
Speaker 1: my points, you're going to bring the rust show from

491
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,479
Speaker 1: the golf tournament it and you can you can give

492
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,959
Speaker 1: me a formal apology, and you can sing the Georgia.

493
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: You can sing the Georgia fight song, and so you'll

494
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: sing hell to the victors. If it's the other, you

495
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: know that one. You don't know Georgie's fights. I don't know,

496
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: but I'll learn it straight Are we talking straight up?

497
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: When I don't like I don't want the points. I

498
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: don't want the points, the points, and we'll get into

499
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,479
Speaker 1: this point. I don't want the points. He doesn't want

500
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: the points. I respect, did I take the points with Ohio?

501
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: I'll tell you like he won't call him Ohio. I'll

502
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: tell him like I told the fans. Everything Michigan wanted

503
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: was on the other side of Ohio. Until you beat them,

504
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: you can't win the division. To you win the division,

505
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: you can't win the conference. Until you win the conference,

506
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: you can't make the playoff. And look how we say,

507
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: the winds come in bunches. If you can get over

508
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: that home thing, I'll give you all a lot of credit,

509
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: just hardball, taking less money and what he had to

510
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,719
Speaker 1: do and go to that and to be where they're at,

511
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,959
Speaker 1: it's awesome. Um. I'm not sure it's a great matchup,

512
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure you feel real confident about the matchup.

513
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: But I do like the way you're pounding your chest.

514
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: I do like the conviction you have. I don't know

515
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: if I'll get another opportunity, David, Okay, Hey, as I

516
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: sit here today, I have a three month old son,

517
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: and he's now seen the Braves win the World Series.

518
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: Left Michigan beat Ohio and make the playoff. It's all

519
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:56,959
Speaker 1: downhill from here from forever, especially that we'll make it happen, Man,

520
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: make it happen. Many congrats again, It's always great talking

Speaker 1: having a great time. But yes, back over here at home,

533
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: just um doing rehab, doing treatment, getting better each and

534
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: every day. Yeah, you know the wolf pack, and you know,

535
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: like a one man wolf pack. But then I added

536
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: more to my wolf pack. So that's that's kind of

537
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: the situation where right now. But Bo, look, you know,

538
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,239
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna ask you this off the top

539
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: because I want to move on and talk some football

540
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: stuff because I don't think anybody asked the players enough

541
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: about stuff going on in football. As funny as that sounds,

542
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: it's been reports out of there, this, that and the other.

543
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: My my question is, you know, from a decision standpoint,

544
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: has your timeline changed? You know, has has anything changed

545
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: with adders? Is the same thing that that we've been

546
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: talking about, you know when we've had you on the

547
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,239
Speaker 1: past couple of weeks. Yeah, it's really the same thing

548
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: that we've been talking about. Yeah, I've discussed it before,

549
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 1: and there's been some different rumors out there, But UM,

550
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: my timeline has not changed. I'm finishing up finals and

551
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: papers this week and trying to work towards graduation on Saturday,

552
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: So I have to have a few more things I

553
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: need to turn in, UM, and then I'll be ready

554
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 1: to go for graduation. UM. And then like I mentioned,

555
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: just doing treatment each and every day, UM couple times

556
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: a day, trying to get back to where I can

557
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: be functionable again and move around and um get to

558
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: walking before I get to running, and then hopefully that'll

559
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: be that'll be next. But trying to figure all this

560
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: kind of stuff out before I'm make any kind of decision.

561
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: How how is it bout? I mean, how is the ankle.

562
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: It's good. Actually, um my physical therapist and doctors say

563
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: that it looks really good, and it looks um. It

564
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,479
Speaker 1: has progressively gotten better as as I've kind of started treatment.

565
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: Once I've got out of that softcast, you got the

566
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: stitches out. That's really when I gotta got to start

567
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 1: moving pretty quickly with the with the icing and with movement,

568
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: range of motion stuff like that. And then now I'm

569
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: progressively moving towards um walking on crutches and and getting

570
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: closer to where i can walk fully and then maybe

571
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: start some stuff on like the treadmill in the pool

572
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: and start doing some stuff like that where it's not

573
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: a bunch of weight bearing um, but I'm moving and

574
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,959
Speaker 1: getting back to the flow of things definitely. Well, look,

575
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: I want to get to some football because I want

576
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: to get your thoughts on some stuff. Again, I appreciate

577
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: you answering that question. There's a lot of rumors in

578
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: undo out there, but this is the man. You heard

579
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: it from him like like this is from both you know,

580
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: It's like that show we always talk about, this is

581
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: us like this is it? But all right, bo I

582
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: gotta ask you as a player right now. It's a

583
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: guy that could play another year in college has that opportunity.

584
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: You've heard about the match into twelve team playoff. What

585
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: do you think about that? Well, what's like the bow

586
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: Knicks thought on expanding to twelve. Well, I think there's

587
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 1: pros and cons in both. UM. I think there's we've

588
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: seen since we've we've moved from the BCS to the

589
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: bulsit or to the playoff system. UM, how that's ended

590
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: up benefiting and that's ended up working out. UM. You

591
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: only added, really when you look at them, more extra

592
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 1: game for for a championship team, UM, which isn't too bad. UM,

593
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: it's not terrible for those guys that are coming off

594
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: the UM Conference championship, going to a playoff, and then

595
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 1: going to the championship. You know that that extra game

596
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: hasn't been UM to catastrophic, had had any extra injuries

597
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: or anything negative towards that. If anything, gave us UM

598
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: an extra game for guys to compete and go and

599
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: play and show what they can do against a great opponent. UM.

600
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: I think expanding UM, you look at a few different things.

601
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: You look at the positives where you're you are giving

602
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: UM a number eleven team in the country, a chance

603
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: to play in the playoff like any other sport. UM,

604
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: you're making it more like it is in high school

605
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: and in the pros where you know it give a

606
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: lot more teams UM a chance because maybe they're UM

607
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: started playing better at the end of the year than

608
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: what they played at the beginning of the year. Maybe

609
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: they had some injuries at the beginning, maybe that that

610
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: their schedule was tough for anything like that, that you're

611
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: giving a team UM an extra chance. But then you

612
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: look at the UM twelve teams. You know, football's a

613
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: physical contact sport. UM a lot of guys UM, Like

614
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: say you're in the SEC or another conference that that

615
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: is very physical and you're you have a lot of

616
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: wear and tear on your body. UM, then that can

617
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: start adding up. You know, you're taking a guy like

618
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: we'll just use last year last year for example, got

619
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,719
Speaker 1: like Naji Harris. If you add three or four more

620
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: games to na schedule, how does that impact him moving

621
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: forward to be in a top pick in the league

622
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: to go to Sea. So how does that work for

623
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: a running back who's getting hit every single UM time

624
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: he touches the ball as opposed to a kicker. Of course,

625
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: maybe their their positions are different, and they their position

626
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: would say different things regarding their their physical um like

627
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: outtake on a game. So I think it's important to

628
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: look at it from that point of view. Um. I

629
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: don't think it's a good or a bad thing. I

630
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: just think it's something to look into. UM. So that

631
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: these guys like the running backs and the old line

632
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: D line linebackers that are hitting over and over and over, well,

633
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: now you're asking them to play three extra games in

634
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: a season. And if you look at Alabama, they've played

635
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: in several consecutive playoffs. That's twelve extra games that they

636
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: could play in their college career. And so that's that's

637
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: a lot um when you look at it from that

638
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: point of view. When you add things like that, because

639
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: those running backs, linebackers, they're trying to make it as

640
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: long as they can in the league, and every once

641
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: in a while you can get into position that it

642
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: starts becoming hurtful to those guys. Now if you look

643
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: take it back and you want to shorten the regular season, Okay,

644
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: that's something to talk about. Two. Everything like that is um,

645
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: it's got a lot going in. You know, there's a

646
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: lot to look into. But I think whatever is made,

647
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: whatever decision is made, it will benefit college football and

648
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: it'll it'll people will make it work, just like they've

649
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: made this four team playoff work. Now, shoot, I agree, Memory.

650
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to get into the chair up here

651
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: for Bo. Yeah, that's pretty good, Bo. A couple more questions.

652
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna get you out of here. I'm gonna ask

653
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: you straight up, should Cincinnati be in? Should Cincinnati be

654
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: the number four team? In your opinion? Absolutely, I think

655
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: they've proven that they're one of the four best teams

656
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: in the country. They have not lost the game. They've

657
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: won by a several big margins. When you look at

658
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: the teams that they have played like they played, Notre

659
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: Dame beat them pretty good. This year. Notre Dame was

660
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: considered a top five, top six team, maybe even entering

661
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: the playoff. If some teams ended up shaking out the

662
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: way it did Um, Notre Dame could have even found

663
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: theirself in the playoff. Think Cincinnati definitely had um the

664
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: track record and they played themselves into the game. Now,

665
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: if they had had lost, maybe slipped up one week,

666
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: maybe we'd be saying something different. But the fact that

667
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: they went undefeated took care of their business one like

668
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: they should have. I think they proved that they should

669
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: be in the playoff. And I think it also helps

670
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: that they beat or that I'm sorry that they played

671
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: as good as they did against Georgia last year in

672
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: the bowl game. I think that helped them. But that's

673
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: a good point too, Bo. And look, as a guy

674
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: that's played against Alabama, you understand what Alabama is, how

675
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: they play, who they are, this, that and the other.

676
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: Do you think Cincinnati has has a has a shot

677
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: to beat them? M I do I think that, UM,

678
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: any team in the playoff you have a shot. Whenever

679
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,479
Speaker 1: you play another team, you have a shot to beat them. UM.

680
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: I think they're veteran enough at certain places, and they

681
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: have a solid team to where they're they're going to

682
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: go in there and play. And I think, like I said,

683
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: playing Georgia like they did last year don't give them confident.

684
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: And anybody can beat anybody on any given Saturday. That's

685
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: always important to note. UM. But as we've seen, Alabama

686
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: is a very good team. Alabama can turn it on

687
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: when they want to and score a reazillion points, shut

688
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: people down on defense. So I haven't watched as much

689
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati as I have Alabama, just because of film

690
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: study that obvious seasons for opponent teams. Yeah, for obviously reasons.

691
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: But I do think the four teams in the playoff,

692
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: I think that any any either team could could end

693
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,719
Speaker 1: up winning and have a successful playoff run. But now

694
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to come to play. I'm not saying

695
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be easy, and I'm not saying that

696
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: that should happen, but I do think that either team

697
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: has a has a given chance of winning the game. Definitely. Well, bo, man,

698
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. We're gonna get you back. You know.

699
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: We always are going to bring you back because I

700
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: want to. I'm gonna ask you if you have time.

701
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: I know you're a busy man. You got finals coming up,

702
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: big decision. I may have to get your five best

703
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: Bowl matchups. We talk about it at the end here,

704
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: but we may have to, you know, maybe a little

705
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: extra I graduated, maybe a homework assignment from the Jay

706
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: Boy Show. I don't know if you're down with that,

707
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: you know, you know whatever, but man, we may go.

708
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna get you back on and talk to me

709
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: these Bowl matchups. Man, that was fantastic. Absolutely. I always

710
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: love talking football, um, just from a like an analytical

711
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: point of view. I am a welcome to one of us,

712
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: one of us. It's it's in there um in the

713
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: back of my mind. So um. Not only am I

714
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,239
Speaker 1: UM enjoy football, but I love talking about it too,

715
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: so that that is always fascinating. But I do appreciate

716
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,239
Speaker 1: you guys, y'all enjoy the rest of your week, definitely, bo.

717
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, Buddy. Keep healing up. We'll talk to

718
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: you Soonbie. We'll do see it all right. So we

719
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: know the bowl matchups now, and there are some delicious

720
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,479
Speaker 1: and juicy and treys that we're going to get throughout

721
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: the ball season. This is why. And you know, Conn,

722
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: we've talked about it growing up in the air that

723
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: we grew up. We're around the same age, playing not

724
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: not too far behind us. Bowl games were huge, but

725
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's life. You used to just it was

726
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: like Christmas morning every morning because you got football at

727
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: the time. You got matchups you're not used to seeing.

728
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: But there's five I really want to focus on them.

729
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: I'll let you read them out and for different reasons.

730
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: So we try to diverse by the portfolio. And no,

731
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 1: we're not going to pick one of the four playoff games.

732
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: Guys like that's that would be the lamest thing of

733
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: all times. So these are my top five, our top

734
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 1: five bowl games outside of the four games in the playoff.

735
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: And yes, sitting down like this without anything in front

736
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: of me, I'm gonna continue to talk on my hands.

737
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,439
Speaker 1: You have to. Let's go five to one. Yeah, let's

738
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: start with UCF in Florida. Okay, when this got announced

739
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: number one, everybody in Florida is super jacked in tan

740
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: about Billy Napier coming to town. But you could not

741
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: get a worse matchup. Not saying that I think you

742
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: Seeff's gonna beat Florida, But if you're Florida, you got

743
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: nothing to gain. You have nothing to gain that It's

744
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: like Auburn playing in a bowl game against UAB. If

745
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: you beat them, you're supposed to beat them. You're the

746
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: state school, you're the big bad wolf. But if you lose,

747
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: it kills you in recruiting and you'll never live it

748
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: down as a fan base for one hundred years. You

749
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: see wins this game. I don't care if Billy Napier

750
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: got hired the day before. I don't care if the

751
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 1: players were coaching and we had a Jackie Moon situation.

752
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: That to me is a total lose lose for Florida

753
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: and a tough spot for coach Napier coming in there.

754
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: But again, you got to play the game. It is

755
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: what it is, and I know why they did it,

756
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 1: so guys like us would talk about it like this.

757
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: So when I look at a game like this and

758
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 1: you wonder, people always ask, and I'll use an example,

759
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: why does an Auburn play Troy? Why why don't they

760
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: play you? Abe? You have nothing to gain, Nope, nothing

761
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: to gain. It's like LSU and Lafayette. You've got nothing

762
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: to gain and everything to lose. So to me, it

763
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: makes it super intriguing. And you know UCF's gonna get

764
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 1: up for it. You know Florida's gonna get up for it.

765
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: But the outcome of this game, you want to talk

766
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: about a tone setter. And people say, oh, you got

767
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: to give Billy Napier a pass for Game one. Florida

768
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: fans are too excited to be given out passes. There

769
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: are no Hall monitors walking around the games right now?

770
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 1: You know what? Yeah? What what say? You guys? Look

771
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see it. I just I want to

772
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: see if Gus Mileson is going to show up at

773
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 1: boll time, you know. And I also want to see

774
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: what's the pride level of the current Florida players. This

775
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: is why I'm excited to see what some of these bulls, because,

776
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: like you said, when we were younger, there was no

777
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: such thing as opting out that you had a down season,

778
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: way down, down so much that your coach was let go.

779
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: You have a new coach coming in. Like I've always said,

780
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 1: there are seniors on every team in America who would

781
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: rather their team. They care more about winning than they

782
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: do their own livelihoods, especially those seniors who who many

783
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 1: of whom may never play another football game. What's the

784
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: pride level of those Florida seniors. I mean, it's a

785
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: trap game. And what's worse than a trap game that's

786
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 1: inside your own stage? Yeah, getting trapped in your own house?

787
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: Double trap, you got booby Trapsus Mason is very good

788
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: at getting time off and throwing everything at you in

789
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: one game. He'll pull out every trick play no matter what,

790
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: especially for the game that matters, you know. And if

791
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: Billy Napier You might not win this game, but you

792
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: want to get the team behind you. You want to stop.

793
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of culture in this group. Might

794
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: play a little different. Play the speed that Billy Napier

795
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 1: wants you to play too, the attitude that Billy Napier

796
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: wants played too. But this is a trap game outside

797
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 1: of a trap game, it is, But I still like Florida.

Speaker 1: is brought to you by the Real Cost and the FDA.

814
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: If you vape, you could be inhaling toxic metals into

815
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: your lungs. To make you feel how scary that is,

816
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,720
Speaker 1: we could have gone to town with some real scary

817
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: music thrown in, some zombie sound effects, or some blood

818
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 1: curdling screaming and over the top shrieking. You get the point.

819
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: But nothing is as scary as the facts. Vaping can

820
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: deliver toxic metals like nickel and lead in your lungs.

821
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,280
Speaker 1: That's metal in your lungs. Read up about the dangers

822
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: of vaping on the Real Cost Dot gov I said, yeah,

823
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: I still like four in the same because look at

824
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: the end of the day, when you look at you,

825
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: Lan Gabriel's not walking through that door, and you see

826
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 1: if it's not the same team without him, Don Gabriel's

827
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: actually never walking through the UCF door again. He's hit

828
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: the transfer porter like raiding from Mortal Kombat. But when

829
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: I look at this game, I do think Florida is

830
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 1: going to get up. I think they're better than they

831
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: are up front. I think Billy's gonna be able to

832
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: rally the troops as much as you've been able to

833
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: because look, he just won the Sun Belt Championship. To me,

834
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: while everybody is going to be talking UCF and UCF

835
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 1: and it is a trap gaming, that's exactly right. I

836
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 1: still do like Florida. And you say Gus Maleson in

837
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: bowl games. I've seen gust Maleson in bowl games. It's

838
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 1: not good. You can go to Northwest, you can go

839
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: back and look at Northwestern. Hell, I'll give you a

840
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: great example the team he's coaching now. You seef sure

841
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, Gus Maleson tends to, if it's not

842
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: Alabama in a big game, find a way to not

843
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: do a good job. And that's just the emo of

844
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: Gus miles On. Thank rejection. Spread wise, it's seven and

845
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 1: a half Florida. Look, I'm telling you, I like Florida.

846
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,240
Speaker 1: I like the Gators here, but no, I love the matchup.

847
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: You know, we think of the Holy Trinity of the

848
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: Sunshine State in Florida, Florida, Miami and Florida State. You know,

849
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: but this could sort of be a trend setter for

850
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: the next three to five years. Good. You know, well,

851
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,439
Speaker 1: you CEF's go in Power five two now we can't

852
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: forget that, and you know what else. But I don't

853
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: want to spend too long on this. But there's another

854
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,919
Speaker 1: school in Florida that I just don't understand how they're

855
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,439
Speaker 1: not better. Yeah, that's South Florida. That's exactly it blow,

856
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: It blows my mind. Remember Matt Growthie, I remember JPP

857
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: South Florida. I watched South Florida coming too, Jordan hair

858
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: and whip Auburn's ass with better players. They had two

859
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: first round corners. So you know again that state with

860
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: Mario in Miami, with Billy at Florida. I like Norville.

861
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: I still like the Norville hire at Florida State. You know,

862
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: you see those guys doing work in the portal as well.

863
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: You had UCF, you had South Florida. I mean, heck Man,

864
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: the Sunshine State, and it's great for football. I will

865
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: keep going back to that. It's great for football. Very

866
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: bullish on the stage. We've ever seen the state of

867
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: Florida football. I think, you know, yea, the Holy Trinity,

868
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 1: all three being down. I agree, some monsters coming in

869
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: there for sure. Go to number four. One that we

870
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: thought could maybe be a New Year six game at

871
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, which is Arkansas Penn State. Yeah, look,

872
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 1: this is one. Right when this came out, I was

873
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: licking my chops stylistically, because if you look at Arkansas,

874
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: you're giving Kendall Briles a lot of time. You're giving

875
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: them a chance to get healthy. This is humongous for

876
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 1: Arkansas hasn't been in this spot, you know, just think

877
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: about it. I mean last year we look at Sam

878
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: Pittman and what they did and it's an amazing job.

879
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: This time and the other well, now you win eight

880
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: games and you're in a bowl against a team in

881
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 1: Penn State that was ranked inside the top ten. So

882
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: for the Arkansas fans, this is it almost feels like

883
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: you're playing with house money. But Arkansas is dangerous. You

884
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: wonder why because they are hungry. And I'm not saying

885
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,760
Speaker 1: that Penn State isn't. But Penn State's at a different

886
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: point than Arkansas is right now. But when I look

887
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: at the matchups on the field, I look it up

888
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 1: front and I just love it. I'm so excited to

889
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,280
Speaker 1: see Trey Williams. I'm so excited to see Grant Morgan

890
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: at linebacker going against Penn State. This is going to

891
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 1: be an old school style football game with a big

892
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: quarterback in kJ Jefferson that can extend the field vertically.

893
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: I'm very interested to see how well Arkansas is able

894
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: to run the ball. Even with Sam Pittman be it

895
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: be in the head coach. He's one of the smartest

896
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: offensive line coaches in the country. They always find a

897
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: way to run the ball. But this is going to

898
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: be an old school You got a problem with me,

899
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: I got a problem with you. Well, let's meet it

900
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: outside and let's go find out who wants it more.

901
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 1: This is one of those few games that doesn't have

902
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: any movement with the coaches. Yea, you know the coaches

903
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: are there and they're staying there. How do you think

904
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: that will affect this game? Well, look, stability is a

905
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: great ability. You know, you look around college football in general,

906
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: I mean right now, you look at the coaching carosel

907
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 1: has it ever been crazier? Has the periphery with the

908
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: transfer portal and and I L So when you have

909
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: a ton of chaotic things going around, typically the teams

910
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: that are able to be the most stable. You've got

911
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,479
Speaker 1: both coordinators that that have came back with Kendall Briles

912
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,800
Speaker 1: and Barry Odam, So you've got coaching stability, which is

913
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: huge for the players. And that's where you're seeing in

914
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: Arkansas get guys like Jaden Hazelwood, the wide receiver from

915
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: Oklahoma that the big time guy that transferred going to

916
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 1: Arkansas to try and replace Burke. So when I look

917
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: at this game, James Franklin, there's a lot of talk

918
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: about him in USC We talked about it on the show.

919
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 1: I don't think he gave a great you know, non

920
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: denial denial, but ended up getting that extension, ended up

921
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: getting paid. But when you look at this game, you

922
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: mix the stability with the physicality. This is one where

923
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: if you got surround sound, turn the sound up and

924
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: listen to the hitting that's going on and watch the

925
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: level of effort that the Arkansas players play with. Because this,

926
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Morgan came on our so yeah, Grham Morgan

927
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 1: came on our show and said, listen, we didn't want

928
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: to be the group that kept Arkansas down. We wanted

929
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 1: to put the state on our back. They've done it.

930
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: Now you're playing a big time team and a big

931
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: time game for them, and I guarantee you show up.

932
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: And I like Arkansas, you know, I love this game

933
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: as a former receiver myself. You get to watch Treylon

934
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: Berth John Dotson go at it, yeah, really good, and

935
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 1: then you kind of look at the quarterback room with

936
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: Sean Clifford and kJ. This is a perfect matchup. To me,

937
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 1: I couldn't find a better two teams with a better

938
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,720
Speaker 1: matchup for this because they're on the opposite end realistically

939
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 1: on the spectrum playing each other. So I think he

940
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: comes back to the defense, what defense can can can

941
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: play better and which receiver kind of comes out a

942
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: little bit more on top, and I'm going with Treylon

943
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: Burks and the Arkansas razorback. Yeah. But I mean, and

944
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: to let's make sure we look at the kJ Jefferson

945
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: and uh Clifford Sean Clifford match up. I mean though,

946
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: these are these are two guys that that are big

947
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,879
Speaker 1: time players that are big in general. Uh So again,

948
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: I'm very interesting. I just feel like, especially in this

949
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: Bowl game, that it is going to be low scoring,

950
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: it's going to be physical. They're gonna say, all right,

951
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: when we take our shots. We're gonna find Trey Lion.

952
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: If you're Arkansas, you're gonna find Johan. If you're Arkansas

953
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: in the secondary, uh, and you're those guys in the

954
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: back end, you gotta stop five. You stop Penn State. Yeah,

955
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: you stop five, you stop Penn State. Now, Arkansas has

956
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: got a couple more weapons in my opinion than Penn

957
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: State does. But if you stop five, you stop Pinn State.

958
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: We've seen it the games that the game's Pin State's

959
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: won or scored a lot of points. Johan Dotson's out there,

960
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 1: you know, making crazy moves like a Jackson popular Jackson

961
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 1: polla as well, and you know what cover the tight end?

962
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: Oh for sure? Yeah, I think this game is gonna

963
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: have the kind of the nuance in this game, it's

964
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: which quarterbacks feats is going to be more important, for sure,

965
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: because Clipper can run a little bit. He Canna kJ

966
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: obviously with brows is going to be in that game.

967
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: In the quarterback run. You know, That's what I think

968
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: is gonna be the difference almost in this game. It's

969
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:51,919
Speaker 1: which quarterback on kind of those long those third downs

970
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: can extend it with their feet and get those first times.

971
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: I do think this will be a little scoring, Ya, Yeah,

972
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: I think first sounds all right, let's move on. At

973
00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: one point in the season, we thought Kenneth Walker was

974
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: a for the Heisman Trophy, right, didn't end up being

975
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: a finalist, But Kenny pick It is right. So pitt

976
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: Michigan State ball matchup. Can I just say something first?

977
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: Why does Pittsburgh stay with like the most contradictory names.

978
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: You had a kicker named Corey Blewett and now you

979
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: have a quarterback named Kenny Pickett. What do you guys,

980
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: is that they just sign a rumble recruit called Ronnie

981
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 1: fumbled It. I think if you told him he would

982
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: end up throwing more touchdowns at Pittsburgh than Dan Marino.

983
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 1: I think you'd say, you'll call me whatever you want. Yeah,

984
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. Kenny Pickett at quarterback and Corey Blewet ed kickers.

985
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 1: Like I said, what is the coach's name? It's like, oh,

986
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: just high ron lose every gang Stein that says John.

987
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm fine. So, but but when you look at matchups,

988
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: when you look at matchups, and and we saw what

989
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: Ohio State did to that Michigan second dar in some

990
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: states is a felony. Michigan State. Yes, what they did

991
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 1: in Michigan State, not not Michigan. You're good, gotta correct you,

992
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: you're good. Yeah, what they did at that Michigan State secondary.

993
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: This could not be a worst matchup. There's only one

994
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 1: worst matchup to me, and we didn't been having in

995
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: the top five, and that's Missourian Army because miss he

996
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,720
Speaker 1: can tackle a math problem in a second great classroom

997
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,320
Speaker 1: right now in defense, and you're about to get the

998
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 1: triple options. So when I look at what Pittsburgh and

999
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: Kenny's not gonna win the Heisman, but they're gonna throw

1000
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: it about sixty times in this game. He may throw

1001
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett may throw for six hundred yard Like y'all

1002
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: think I'm kidding. This may be a road to glory situation.

1003
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: You know, put it on varsity choice the numbers up.

1004
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 1: Let's get him to Bama to start as a freshman.

1005
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:23,919
Speaker 1: But he's gonna put up incredible numbers in this game.

1006
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: I don't see unless Michigan State plays with twelve and

1007
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: then I don't even think that would help him in

1008
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 1: the back end. How they're going to stop the Pittsburgh offense. Now,

1009
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker against Pittsburgh defense. He'll dance. It'll be dancing

1010
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: with the stars out there. I mean, he'll make him

1011
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: look silly. But to me, I think Pittsburgh's gonna outscore him.

1012
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't see Michigan States stopping him. Unless Kenny Pickett

1013
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: lives up to his last name. I think it'll be

1014
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: I think it'll be a close one, man. I think

1015
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 1: it'll be a good one obviously. I mean Pickett is

1016
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: a monster. But you know, we saw how they were

1017
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,879
Speaker 1: up early on North Carolina. North Carolina came fighting back

1018
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: with Sam How you know, let's just see Michigan State

1019
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: is a blue collar, tough football team. I think that

1020
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: these to the type of ones that they come in

1021
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 1: with pride, just how we were talking about Arkansas from

1022
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 1: the SEC. I don't think bowl games are something that

1023
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 1: Michigan State overlooks and takes for granted, especially when you

1024
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: just drop ninety five million on a head coach. But

1025
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,399
Speaker 1: before we move on, though, Blaine, with the time off,

1026
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: you have to prepare for the bowl game. And I

1027
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,359
Speaker 1: always think about this and coming off what I just said,

1028
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: I still believe what I said. But if you're the

1029
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: Michigan State Secondary. All you're gonna hear for twenty five

1030
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,919
Speaker 1: days is how these guys are going to torch you. Yeah,

1031
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 1: how it's gonna be a house state. And I've said

1032
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 1: it since the Prometheus episode of this show, since the

1033
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: Spaceship landed, that there is nothing more motivating to an

1034
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: eighteen to twenty two year old that as competitive as

1035
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: these guys aren't, than being embarrassed in front of your

1036
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,359
Speaker 1: friend without a doubt like that. That's just a real thing.

1037
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: So that's just I'm more interested in the game plan

1038
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: that could be come with on defense, because if you

1039
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 1: if you're too high, too deep, if you're Michigan State

1040
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: and sit back, you sit back and try to put

1041
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 1: another guy in coverage, or do you kind of you hit,

1042
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 1: do you heat pick it up? Right? Do you make

1043
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 1: him make quick decisions? Because this Pittsburgh team a defense

1044
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 1: has not been terrible. Their defensive line has not been bad. Right,

1045
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,879
Speaker 1: Jordan Addison and Kenny Pickett that's his go to guy, right,

1046
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: So you put maybe you double Addison, maybe you make

1047
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: him find another weapon to go to. But I think

1048
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 1: this is gonna be huge for a game planning standpoint

1049
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 1: from Michigan State. What do you do I think you're

1050
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 1: gonna make I heat him up. I mean I think

1051
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: you almost played like the way team has been playing

1052
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 1: the Chiefs a little bit as well. Though you put

1053
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 1: those two I said, because look, Pittsburgh is not a

1054
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna stow the hitch all the way down the field.

1055
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 1: Now you know this isn't a quick game. You to death.

1056
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is Hey, listen, chicks dig the long ball. Well,

1057
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 1: I'm swinging for the fences this year, somewhat in pressure,

1058
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: getting pressure and make mistakes. And I do, I do,

1059
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:47,959
Speaker 1: and I do. I do want to say this because

1060
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,240
Speaker 1: we didn't talk about it yesterday. The fake slide should

1061
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 1: be taken up the game that it should be taken

1062
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: You can't do that like you can't because because again

1063
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: and if you saw it, and I'm not. Look, if

1064
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: you know the cheeko run the cheek code, that's fine,

1065
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,799
Speaker 1: but you can't fake slide. And then the defender, who

1066
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 1: if he hits you a few slide, they're gonna put

1067
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: him in prison for thirty I mean he hit that,

1068
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:15,279
Speaker 1: he hit the literally the stinky leg on old dude

1069
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 1: from Wake Forest, and both of them. It was dirty.

1070
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 1: It was it was a nice little thing. Now, I

1071
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 1: have no problem with whether it's quarterback running back guys

1072
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 1: looking like he's about to run out of bounds and

1073
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:26,959
Speaker 1: he pulls up and then he didn't, that's totally fine.

1074
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: But when you start to fake slide and look, we

1075
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: can talk about it. Should it be a fifteen yard penalty? Yeah,

1076
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: you know? Or should it be you know down down

1077
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 1: where it was to me? If you want to get

1078
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 1: out of the game, you got to penalize him for it.

1079
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 1: You penalize the defense for it. Hell on defense, we

1080
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: can't do anything. We can't even look twice a y'all

1081
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,919
Speaker 1: pass a Tuesday or it's a it's a whole thing. Yeah,

1082
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: keep your eyes off right there. Let's move on to

1083
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State and Notre Dame. Yeah, see this one is Look,

1084
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, that's a good one. Man. I look at this,

1085
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 1: and I really feel like Notre Dame is going to

1086
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: have very, very tough time scoring points against Oklahoma State.

1087
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State is coming off a game in which, let's

1088
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:10,879
Speaker 1: be honest, guys, they threw four interceptions. If Oklahoma State

1089
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: plays like they've been playing, they win that game. They

1090
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 1: win that game. I know, I know the shaping kid

1091
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: from Baylor came in and looked pretty good. But better

1092
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 1: than to score point in second half. Better than to

1093
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 1: score point in the second half. Now they've ran his defense,

1094
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: they've played great, this, that and the other. But when

1095
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: I look at this matchup, Oklahoma State is going to

1096
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 1: be thirteen flavors a pist Notre Dame, who they played

1097
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and they got beat. I don't know if we

1098
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: know about Notre Dame. You know, if we know, so

1099
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State has been a lot more tested Notre Dame has.

1100
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 1: And and look, it's it's not like this isn't a

1101
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: big game for Oklahoma State. I get that, But is

1102
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 1: there an element that they were four inches away from

1103
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 1: the playoff right, and that there's a letdown after that

1104
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 1: because they were they were, they were shooting for it.

1105
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: And then on the other side of that, I saw

1106
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: that video from the Notre Dame locker room with Marcus

1107
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 1: Free and was announced they are fired up there. That's

1108
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: who they wanted, that's who they got. Is there an

1109
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: element that those two combinations could lead to a Notre

1110
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,880
Speaker 1: Dame win? Here? Yeah? Okay, and this look to me

1111
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: this is a pick them like it's a true pick

1112
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:14,879
Speaker 1: them to me, I'm looking, I'm looking at the under play.

1113
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 1: I don't get you a second, but think about this.

1114
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 1: If your Marcus Freeman, your first head coaching job is

1115
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: Notre Dame and your first game it's a New Year's

1116
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: sixty ball, Well that's pretty that's pretty neat. Put that

1117
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: in the contract. Hair kind of odds are gonna have

1118
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:32,839
Speaker 1: out Notre Dame. It's gonna be minus two and a half.

1119
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: What's the under forty four and a half. So they

1120
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,800
Speaker 1: always think Dame will get up for this game. And

1121
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: you look at Oklahoma State and their offense has never

1122
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 1: been just belowing the doors off of people. And I

1123
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: think Notre Dame's gonna be inspired in this game. Notre

1124
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: Dame's getting a couple of guys back, and I think

1125
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: Notre Dame's gonna establish the run in this game. And

1126
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State's not a hiron Oklahoma State. It's not a

1127
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 1: team that's built to what come back, right, it was

1128
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: not built for that. And I do think they're gonna

1129
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 1: play them inspired football. Yeah they well, look, Notre Dame

1130
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: is gonna be fine. Right, That's a true element because again,

1131
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, especially when when you're

1132
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: betting on games, shout out Fando Fandel dot Com, Fandel

1133
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 1: sports Book. When you're betting on games, you have to

1134
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: understand the human element too. So you're the kind of

1135
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 1: Oklahoma state, like you said, coming off it just heart

1136
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 1: gut wrenching loss and Notre Dame feeling like, hey, guess what,

1137
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 1: our wife just left us for a more important guy.

1138
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: Now I'm about to go lose thirty pounds and become rich.

1139
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:24,800
Speaker 1: That's what Notre Dame feels like. When da let's go

1140
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:28,280
Speaker 1: to our number one here, another matchup where both coaches

1141
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: look like they're stamput Okay Baylor Ole Miss you know,

1142
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: and we've talked about this on the show and shout

1143
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 1: out to the Booster Club. They always talked about this

1144
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: as well. I love when you get opposite identities that

1145
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: play each other. Lane Kiffin rambunctious Oliver social media offensively

1146
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 1: spitting it left and right. Him and Jeff Levy, who

1147
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 1: you know, may right not me on Oklahoma getting into

1148
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 1: the lab, you know, putting liquid paper on a b

1149
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:56,280
Speaker 1: seeing what happens. Then you got Dave Randa, who doesn't

1150
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: say a word the whole game. You want you want

1151
00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: to see what David Randa does. This is this is

1152
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: David Randa for four orders. Hold on, that's it. Generally,

1153
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,359
Speaker 1: he's just like water, like Bruce Lee said, just like water,

1154
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 1: and Baylor has an identity. Ole Miss has an identity.

1155
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 1: But here's the difference, Fellas, here's the difference. Oh Miss

1156
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 1: a lot healthier, as healthy as they have been. I

1157
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 1: think Oh Miss blows the doors off of Baylor. I

1158
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 1: think they blow the doors off of them. Well, if

1159
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,799
Speaker 1: Lane got money, Lane got seven point two five, why

1160
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,399
Speaker 1: not one the reverse flee flicker, David, If that's the case.

1161
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 1: I mean, my father and I were watching the Big

1162
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: twelveth championship, where like, isn't it amazing that the Big

1163
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: twelve champion is now going to be picked between one

1164
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 1: of two teams that both have great defenses? And Baylor

1165
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,359
Speaker 1: and Oklahoma stake right, like, this is amazing because we've

1166
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: seen this offense. So if Ole Miss blows the doors off,

1167
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 1: which was one of the better defenses in the Big Twelve,

1168
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 1: that's just a testament to where those defenses over. That

1169
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 1: game on turf too? Is that game on turf, Because

1170
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 1: if it's on turf, it's gonna be even worse superb.

1171
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: It's in a suit. I'm just guys, I'm telling you

1172
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 1: right now, what is it? Fifty one? What's the spread spread?

1173
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: Ole Miss? Look in minus three? Oh right, I think listen,

1174
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: go to your parents' room, lift up the mattress. You

1175
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: take that one hundred dollars and you go put it

1176
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 1: on ole Miss minus three right now. And you don't

1177
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 1: play black jack with it. Don't play black check, which

1178
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: we'll get into late in this game. I think almost

1179
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: as simple. And it's mac correl. Yes, that's going to

1180
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:19,760
Speaker 1: be the difference in right, and they're going to be healthy.

1181
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: You're on turf. Lane has got paid, the offense is

1182
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,840
Speaker 1: figured out. Everybody knows what they're doing. And Baylor realistic.

1183
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 1: It has not been the entire year being able to

1184
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: score points. Yeah they haven't. Look Ole Miss's defense is

1185
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 1: J Durkin has done one. And look they have better

1186
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:37,320
Speaker 1: personnel and they did two years ago. But DJ Durkin

1187
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 1: sneakily has had a really good year as a DC.

1188
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 1: Not enough people are talking about it. I want to

1189
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:44,920
Speaker 1: give you a bonus one Real Quick Morgan Oklahoma. Real

1190
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 1: Quick is one that caught my eye. Now I know

1191
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:48,399
Speaker 1: they're going to be a lot of opt outs, right,

1192
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: and you had coaches leave both programs. But like I said,

1193
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,880
Speaker 1: you're always going to have players on a team who

1194
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: are buying for spots next season who may look at

1195
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 1: this Bowl game as a chance to say, let me

1196
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: impress that new staff coming in. Yeah. No, Look, it's

1197
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:07,479
Speaker 1: funny because you know Oklahoma lost link in the USC

1198
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: as you mentioned Oregon still looking for a coach after

1199
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,759
Speaker 1: Mama called Mario and he went home to Miami number one.

1200
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: I like the under. I like the under, but to

1201
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 1: me an Oregon'll name a coach and we can get

1202
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: there when it happens. But this is a huge start

1203
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 1: for Brent Venables. I want to see how he is

1204
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 1: on the sideline because that Clemson you know, he's ripping

1205
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 1: and roaring and this another I always find it fascinating,

1206
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:34,320
Speaker 1: and we'll get into the nuts and bolts of the

1207
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 1: game and the wind, the water Colonian side, but I

1208
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 1: always find it fascinating watching a guy that is that

1209
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 1: energetic on the sideline as an assistant, as a coordinator.

1210
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 1: Does that travel as a head coach? What type of

1211
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 1: head coach you're gonna be? I mean, we've had multiple

1212
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:49,759
Speaker 1: head coaches on here. Hell, we had Shane Biemer on

1213
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,040
Speaker 1: here before the year saying, listen, I don't know what

1214
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 1: type of head coach I am because this is my

1215
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 1: first time doing it. Am I going to be a

1216
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: CEO type head coach? I'm gonna be God that's got

1217
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:00,400
Speaker 1: my hand and everything, and he's man. This is the

1218
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 1: first time I've been able to walk around practice and

1219
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 1: watch everybody. Typically I'm coaching a position group, so I

1220
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 1: always find it fascinating seeing how how it translates from

1221
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 1: assistance two head coaches. Because I think Venables will keep

1222
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 1: that energy and I think I'll continue to say it.

1223
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 1: I think it's a smart moved by Oklahoma. I really do. Yeah,

1224
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,760
Speaker 1: I think so too. I mean you're one offensive coordinator

1225
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 1: higher away from being extremely good. Yeah right, because that defense,

1226
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 1: immediately you set that deal, they're gonna eat. They're fine,

1227
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 1: They're gonna now the Venables there. You built the foundation

1228
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:31,439
Speaker 1: for that defense. And even if it's if it's not Levy,

1229
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 1: you find somebody who can put up points. Because you know,

1230
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 1: if you're Oklahoma, you if you give up less than

1231
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:38,359
Speaker 1: thirty points a game, almost twenty five points a game,

1232
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:39,880
Speaker 1: you should win that game. Because you're Okahoma and you're

1233
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,280
Speaker 1: known for doing what scoring points, have the big quarterback,

1234
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 1: that's who you are. So now you do complete one eighty.

1235
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 1: You bring venables in here. Let's set up this defense,

1236
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:49,359
Speaker 1: and now we're one one higher away from being maybe

1237
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:50,799
Speaker 1: that team that get back in the playoff and make

1238
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: it different than actually win a game in the playoff

1239
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: because you're not giving up fifty points a game when

1240
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: you play an actual decent team on offense. Yeah, and

1241
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 1: I do. Before we wrap up up here, we're gonna

1242
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: do a bowl pick them. I love it all right.

1243
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna do a bowl pick them for all the

1244
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 1: bulls winner. We'll get some merch maybe some cash. We'll
