1
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: You ever watch on a Saturday, maybe your team may

2
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: be someone else's team, and think to yourself, I don't

3
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: think anything's ever going to be the same again, because

4
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,159
Speaker 1: it happened to me like three times yesterday alone. It

5
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: is now Sunday, October, fifth year of our Lord. Twenty

6
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: twenty five were jam packed hi Atape spectacular downtown Nashville, Tennessee,

7
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: and yet college football carnage all over the place yesterday.

8
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: Congrats if you decided to take a buye yesterday. A

9
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 1: lot of our friends did not. It is a reaction Sunday.

10
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: It was a high impact Saturday. It was a life

11
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: changing Saturday. No hyperbole around here on this campus, life

12
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: changing saturday for many of you. We got all angles

13
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: on that. I mean, I'm taking a deep dive on

14
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: Penn State tonight. A deep dive, not like thirty minutes.

15
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: Some thought we would go thirty minutes on Penn State. No,

16
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: I'm not a sadist, I'm not a savage. I'm not

17
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: doing that twenty five minutes, Max. But we will talk

18
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: about Penn State. We will talk about all the rumblings

19
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: and all the No, they're not rumblings, they're just chants.

20
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: They are howls and screams around James Franklin. And what

21
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: did we see yesterday? What we're not even in the

22
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: Sigma yesterday, just raw reaction pouring out of me, Jesse.

23
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: Can you believe that the AP polls out and they

24
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: exposed themselves today? Our friends at the AP exposed themselves today,

25
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: but not in who they put in the pole. And

26
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: it's not even necessarily in who they left out. It's

27
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: who they left out that was in last week that

28
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: shouldn't have been where they were a tangled web. I

29
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: know we will unpack all that and the ram Noodle Express.

30
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: If you see your buddies wearing some new clothes at

31
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: work tomorrow, someone test driving a new car in the

32
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: parking lot tomorrow morning, it could be they just tail

33
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: the Roman Noodle Express over this weekend. Pretty hot. And

34
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: that's with the treachery committed by Alabama getting the back

35
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: door cover and screwing us on our Vanderboot plus points,

36
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: which absolutely was the right side. Yeah we're good. Check

37
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: out the Romanendal Express shirt our number one seller. I

38
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: didn't even plan that. In retrospect, it seems like a

39
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: cheap plug there in the intro of the show. But yeah,

40
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: Romanudle Express was hot. I got best bets on the

41
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: show tonight. They're watching us in Delray Beach, Florida, Saint Louis, Missouri, Humble, Texas.

42
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: I think the h is kind of silent. I'll ask

43
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 1: my friends from Humble. I have several and Fair Hope Alabama. Hey,

44
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: look look we are loaded tonight. I'm not gonna waste

45
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: any more time. I just want you to know that

46
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: we are going to hit five hundred thousand subs before

47
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: this season is over. That is our goal around here.

48
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: We will never charge for this show. Anytime they mentioned

49
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: putting the show behind a paywall, it just motivated me

50
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: to take hold of the show. So now we own it,

51
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: so it's never gonna cost anything. Just all we ask

52
00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: is check and see if you're subscribed to the chain.

53
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: We do this free. It's college football year round. We

54
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: don't talk an ounce of anything else, politics, other sports, nothing,

55
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,839
Speaker 1: maybe some storm chasing in the spring. That's it. All

56
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: we ask is that you subscribe to the channel and

57
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: the podcast. That's it. There's no follow up. That's it

58
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: all right, And you guys have been so I appreciate

59
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: those of you who have the one or two of

60
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: you remaining out there, don't hold out. Now's the time

61
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: to subscribe. I really didn't know. I had to ask

62
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: Savannah State this morning, which game would you talk about first?

63
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: Because I could really go about four different ways to

64
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: lead the show off. Trust me, we'll get to all

65
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: of it. Just settle in. It's going to be one

66
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: of those shows. Florida beat Texas. Can you believe that?

67
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: Whoms too? To funk? It generated by flex power. That's

68
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: what this entire segment is. But you know what needed generating, Florida,

69
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: just Florida as a team needed generating. I'd give this

70
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: game three and a half taly on a one to

71
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: five scale. Very viewable, very entertaining, very much surprising to

72
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: some people. Of course, by some people, I don't mean ourselves,

73
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: because we picked Florida to win this game and got

74
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: ridiculed for it. And this is not a receipts type

75
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: of show. It's not and I told you so type

76
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: of show. It is. But tonight, a little bit later,

77
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 1: a few minutes from now, we have to have a

78
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: tough conversation with our friends in Austin and the surrounding areas. However,

79
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: we talk about winners on the show first, So Florida

80
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: was treated like a three touchdown dog left for dead

81
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: in this game. And the line I think it closed

82
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 1: four and a half or five. It was anywhere between

83
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: four and a half and six and a half throughout

84
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: the week, and I picked Florida. Look, not all things

85
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: come to you very clearly, but this game came to

86
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: me pretty clearly. I mean, Jesse, remember Tuesday when we

87
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: were breaking the game down in our pre show. I

88
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: looked in I said, why does Florida not win this game?

89
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: Jesse didn't have a good answer for me, and so

90
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: we went with Florida on the show to win the game.

91
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: So here's why I thought Florida would win this game,

92
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: because it's exactly why they did win the game. There's

93
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: a funny thing that desperation and bye weeks do to teams,

94
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: especially teams that had high expectations. Florida fits that those

95
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: parameters are met. Florida had high expectations, at least from

96
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: me and from many other people. They have failed miserably

97
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: to this point they go into the bye week. I

98
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: was particularly rubbed the wrong way with how they had

99
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: handled what I thought should be the strength of their

100
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: team and the strength of their team. Although it could

101
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: be DJ Lagway, I thought was their ground game, and

102
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,119
Speaker 1: I had looked so far this year and it wasn't

103
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: difficult to see. It's one thing if you don't run

104
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: the ball. Because you can't run the ball, that hasn't

105
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: been the case at Florida. So to prove to you

106
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: that you're not wasting time watching this show during the

107
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: week if you only come around here Sundays, we got

108
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: to have decent read on the game sometimes, So Bradley

109
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: tee it up. Here's what we said Florida needed to

110
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: do to win the game Tuesday. Roll it. Frankly, I

111
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: don't have much to go on, but I'm hoping some

112
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: things change for Florida coming out of the bye week.

113
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: There are one hundred and sixth and explosive pass rate

114
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: right now. I think they got to take multiple shots

115
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: in this game. Is it a high percentage chance? No,

116
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: it's not. But if you don't convert them, you got

117
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: a no percentage chance. You gotta fully commit to the run.

118
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: Right now, you're sitting at five point nine yards per carry.

119
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: Jaden ball is and yet I watched the LSU game

120
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: and he carried it ten times. And I watched the

121
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: Miami game and he carried it twelve times. These are

122
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: not blowout games. These are very close games, and they're

123
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: just not giving him the ball. I have no idea

124
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: why I think Florida is going to find a way

125
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: to win the game. I'm just telling you, I don't

126
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: think there's that much separation between the teams.

127
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: Good call, Josh Hey, paper popper, paper popper. What if

128
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: I told you Billy Napier watched every second of that episode,

129
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: which I can't prove, but I suspect. And they gave

130
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: Jaden Ball the ball more times last night or yesterday

131
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 2: than he had in the LSU and Miami games combined.

132
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 2: And you will never believe it, but he topped one

133
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 2: hundred yards. You're not going to run the ball for

134
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 2: six yards per carry on.

135
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: Texas they're pretty good contrary to recently popular belief, Texas

136
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: really good defensively. But he averaged four yards per Carrie.

137
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: And you know what that did once you proved that

138
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: you'd stay committed to it. That was part one of

139
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: last week's preview, Part two. You know the follow up

140
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: there that I alluded to is maybe that's when the

141
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: explosive pass game opens up for DJ a little bit.

142
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you know that he had two passes of fifty

143
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: plus yards yesterday, which matches what they had had through

144
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: the first four games of the season. I am not

145
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: a play caller, I'm not an offensive coordinator. I don't

146
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: even wear headsets when I do podcast. But that's how

147
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: easy the Florida offense was to figure out on the surface.

148
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: That's how easy it was. I would put it another way.

149
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: One of the biggest fears that Texas had to have

150
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: had going into that game is, you know, I hope

151
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: they don't commit to the ground game that it suck.

152
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: I hope they keep doing what they've been doing well

153
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: when you're desperate and you go into a bye. My

154
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: entire thinking behind picking Florida is the last thing they're

155
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: going to keep doing is what they've been doing that

156
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: hasn't given them results. Again, people who don't even watch

157
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: football could understand this logic. So rushing attempts in this

158
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: game not a padlock stat but significant because if you

159
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: told me Friday, Billy and them are going to run

160
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: the ball thirty seven times, I would have been comfortable

161
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: with the outcome. I had already picked Florida. I'd be

162
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: comfortable with the outcome. No guarantees, but you know why

163
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: I'd be comfortable because I do trust the personnel there.

164
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: I do trust that offensive line is good enough. I

165
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: certainly trust that the tailbacks, specifically the one I just referenced,

166
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: are good enough. And then seven to fourteen on third down,

167
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: it's just all the tumblers started falling into place. Now.

168
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: I saw our buddy will Compton, who had notably ridiculed

169
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: me for the Florida pick earlier in the week. He

170
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: said something along the lines of what a lot of

171
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: people were thinking watching this, and that's where's this Florida

172
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: team been all year? Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Pretty much

173
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: copy and paste in what you were saying about this

174
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: time last year. The difference is this time last year

175
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: they had a quarterback injury which necessitated DJ Lagway being

176
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: inserted as the starter, and then pooh, just mushroom cloud,

177
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: Florida blows up in the best of ways down the stretch. Well,

178
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: they didn't have that. I'll tell you what they do have, though.

179
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: They got a quarterback that didn't participate in spring and

180
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: is still pretty green when it comes to starting experience

181
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: say all that to say this what if bold concept

182
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw out here on the show tonight. What

183
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: if every team that's gonna be good is not ready

184
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: to be good by week one? What am I saying

185
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: about Florida? I don't know that I am saying anything

186
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: about Florida. I'm just asking something. I'm just tossing it

187
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: out there for the class to dissect here at Payton State.

188
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: What if, and let's use Florida as an example. What

189
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: if Florida was destined to play at the level that

190
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: you'd be accustomed to the number eight team in the

191
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: country playing at, but they weren't gonna meet that into

192
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: a week six? Is that possible answer? Of course, it's possible.

193
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: Is that Florida? I don't know. That's why they're gonna

194
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: make them play the rest of the games. And in

195
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: case you haven't noticed, Florida's got a tough one. So

196
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: they're right back on the road in college station this

197
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: Saturday night. But there is there is a narrative. We

198
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: have to acknowledge the narrative that's been floating around, and

199
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: that is when you got LLLLL there. If you're watching

200
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: on the screen ll there's three losses in a row.

201
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: That tends to make the natives very restless. They have

202
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: been at Florida. They should be at Florida. There hasn't

203
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: been much patience for Billy Napier and his staff. There

204
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: shouldn't be because you've given him all the patients they needed.

205
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: They haven't delivered so far this year, which led to narrative.

206
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: And the overwhelming narrative around Billy Napier was it's a

207
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: foregone conclusion he's going to lose his job. I bought

208
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: that last year, and then he didn't lose his job.

209
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: So then we came into this year and it started again,

210
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: and I'll, you know, I'll repeat what I've heard on

211
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: the show. So last week I told you, hey, that's

212
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: what I'm hearing again. It's a foregone conclusion. But then

213
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: you'll notice I followed it up with I don't know

214
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: that I share that belief, because if it's if he's

215
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: still there, then he's got an opportunity to win. And

216
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: the crazy thing that can happen when a team does

217
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: not quit on a coach and they're really talented and

218
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: take pride in their performance like Florida does, is they

219
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: can mess around and win games. So if it's a

220
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: foregone conclusion, he's gonna be gone eventually, he needs to

221
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: be gone immediately, or else you're gonna screw around and

222
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: let him win games again. Now I like Billy Napier,

223
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: so I hope he wins every game he coaches. It'd

224
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: make me look good because I predicted him to go

225
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: to the playoff. But what I'm saying is, I had

226
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: a buddy text to me this morning, actually like ten

227
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: of them saying, this just prolonged the inevitable, right, And

228
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: that's the general consensus. I even think amongst Florida fans. Oh,

229
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: this prolonged the inevitable. I don't know that. You don't

230
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: know that. We can think, we can assume, we can guess.

231
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: You don't know that. How do you know it prolongs

232
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: the inevitable? Or in other words, are you telling me

233
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: that if he doesn't lose another game, he's still gone?

234
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: Because if you can't tell me that, then it's not

235
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: inevitable because you don't know what the results are gonna be.

236
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: Because I'm telling you, if you didn't watch Florida yesterday

237
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: and you just saw the final score, that team is

238
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: still fighting for him, just like they did last year.

239
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: They've still got A and M. They still got Georgia,

240
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: they still got Ole missed, they still got Tennessee. They

241
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: still got a lot of tough teams. But here's what

242
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: that also means. They're playing a bunch of teams that

243
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: are right in the thick of the SEC championship race.

244
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: And before people just say they're out of the SEC

245
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: championship race, no they're not. They got one conference loss.

246
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: Their losses are USF and Miami. Now you may think

247
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: the first of which was inexplicable, and I agree with you.

248
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't count against your conference record. So they're just

249
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: one of a few teams with a conference loss. Now,

250
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: they got a much tougher conference slate still to go,

251
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: and yesterday could be a one off. All these things

252
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: are possible. But I'm not in this camp that this

253
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: is just prolonged the inevitable. If Billy gets fired, he

254
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: gets fired. But that's not inevitable to me. If you

255
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: think it's inevitable, I don't think you've paid a whole

256
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: lot of attention how Scott Strickland runs an athletic department.

257
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: By the way, Dallas Wilson, who, Man, what a difference

258
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: getting players back makes Rivals top fifty player. He shined yesterday,

259
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: there's still as much as people had given up on him.

260
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: And I don't blame you if you did. Florida's still

261
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: one of the most dynamic teams in the country. If

262
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: you just watch him yesterday, that's a one off. But

263
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: if you just watch them, that's a really dynamic athletic team.

264
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: So I don't think it prolonged the inevitable. But you

265
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: know what, I get the distinct impression that's not why

266
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,599
Speaker 1: a lot of people tuned in tonight. I think a

267
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: lot of people tuned in because Texas lost. Shame on you, people,

268
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: come on now. Oh no, no, no, shame on you.

269
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 1: No shame on you at all. You know what they

270
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: did to me last week. I appreciate some of you

271
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: for defending my good honor on the internet, But I

272
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: need to fight this battle. Battle's over, we won, but

273
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: I still I still need to walk across the battlefield

274
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: and I see some movement still, and so we need

275
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: to take care of that. In case you didn't notice,

276
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: last week, most people picked Texas to win the game. Okay,

277
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: I picked Florida to win the game. Okay, this sort

278
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: of thing happens all the time. Sometimes you hit it,

279
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: sometimes you don't. Community, but just me in Texas here,

280
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: I think we need to have a little talk because

281
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: some of you have completely lost touch with your own team.

282
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: You have completely some of you have lost the ability

283
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: to see your own team. And instead of admitting I

284
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: don't have a good feel from my own team, you've

285
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: backed into a corner, you know, like a raccoon, and

286
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: you've been or, to use a metaphor that memal would

287
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: probably understand, You've chased the raccoon up the tree and

288
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: it is not happy. And at that point, if you've

289
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: ever chased a raccoon up a tree, the raccoon is

290
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: not up there thinking logically. It's in survival mode. It

291
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: does not want want to debate you. It does not

292
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: want to chase logic or talk with you in reasoned terms.

293
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: It's it's on edge, hair's on hair standing up, It's

294
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: on edge. That was Texas fandom last week. So I

295
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: commit the crime of picking Florida to win the game,

296
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: which ended up being the right side, and for that crime,

297
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: I was called, among other things, out of pocket. You know,

298
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: you can't just disagree with someone. You can't have a

299
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: difference of opinion anymore. If someone differs an opinion with you,

300
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: it's cause they're out of pocket. I am a sellout.

301
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: You know who you are. Cringey takes have become cringey.

302
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: I got a clickbait payt dropped on me again, a

303
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: term that I should have trademarked a long time ago.

304
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: I was called a Texas hater. I think every hour

305
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: on the hour for the rest of the week. I

306
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: was called an aggie. I was called some things that

307
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: rhyme with aggie. I was called a text agg's liquor.

308
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: And these people didn't show up today for again my

309
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: crime of accurately predicting a Texas loss. How did no

310
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: one else see this? How did you not see this?

311
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: Arch Manning took six more sacks, he had two more picks,

312
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: He was fifty five percent. And I don't even throw

313
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: it in his lap. He doesn't have any time to work.

314
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: His offensive line is just not good right now. Their

315
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: job there is to develop and coach them up and

316
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: eventually get them to be at least somewhat competitive. But

317
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: the thing that I keep going back to is they

318
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: didn't get aggressive in the portal on the offensive line,

319
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: and I assumed it was because they were very comfortable

320
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: with who they had on the offensive line. And I

321
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: think that was right, and I think they were wrong

322
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: so far this year. He was also their leading rusher.

323
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: Their tailbacks had nine rushes for eleven yards yesterday. This

324
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: is not new, is the point? Like everyone started to

325
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: run their mouth because they beat Sam Houston, who got

326
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: smoked Friday night by I can't remember which high school

327
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: it was. They got smoked Friday night. Texas hadn't fixed anything.

328
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: The bye week didn't fix anything. Calling it out doesn't

329
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 1: make you a hater. It just makes you a truth teller. Now,

330
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: if you're allergic to the truth, then that doesn't make

331
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: the dude telling the truth the bad guy. That doesn't

332
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: cast aspersions his way, it cast aspersions your way. You

333
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: guys know how rarely I use that term aspersions. So

334
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: now they go into the Red River shootout in their

335
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: favored against Oklahoma. I knew that was gonna throw people

336
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: for a loop because I knew they were gonna be favored.

337
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: A lot of you are thinking, oh, that's caused Mateer

338
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: is out. No, that's not what that point spread means.

339
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: That's not what that means. That's actually I think, assuming

340
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: he may play, I think that may be baked into

341
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: that number. No, No, Texas is just power rated above

342
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: Oklahoma still in the minds of some oddsmakers. If you disagree,

343
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: you can go to FanDuel and bed it. But now

344
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: the talk starts with them. Talk starts with Texas. This

345
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: was a preseason number one. They were favorites to win

346
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: the SEC. They were right up there with favorites to

347
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: win the national championship. And now they're a two loss team.

348
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: Before the Red River Shootout, and somebody out there in

349
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: August presented the scenario, what if an undefeated Oklahoma faces

350
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: a three and two Texas in the Red River Shootout?

351
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: And I'll let you guess who that was and what

352
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: the comments were like under that video. Anyway, here we are.

353
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: So now that we've beaten Texas down, I want to

354
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: tell you they're not dead. Texas is not dead at all.

355
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: Texas could do the exact same thing Florida just did,

356
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: and that is continue to put the keys in the

357
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: ignition and have it not turnover, and have it not turnover,

358
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: and have it not turned over and all of a

359
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 1: sudden it turns over. It just you wish it would

360
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: have turned over immediately out of the garage in week one,

361
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: and instead it took until when maybe Oklahoma. It's no guaranteed.

362
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: They could suck Saturday. They could give me thirty eight ten,

363
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: or it could turn over. I will say I never

364
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: give up on buildings with that much talent in there.

365
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: I never give up on buildings with that good coaching

366
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: staff in there. Now about that coaching staff, they are

367
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: realizing they got to squeeze the sponge a lot harder

368
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: than they expected to have to squeeze the sponge. There's

369
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: still enough water in there. It's just that at Texas,

370
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: you recruit and you portal at such a level where

371
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: you used to about eight or nine times out of

372
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: the year showing up in your helmet being good enough

373
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: to win, that's not the mentality. But you know in

374
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: the back of your mind you can bring your C

375
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: plus game in many of these Saturdays and you're gonna win,

376
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: or maybe not. So what they're finding is just just

377
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: got to squeeze the sponge harder. Are not the only

378
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: ones finding that out right now? The whole new era

379
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: of college football is showing that to a lot of people.

380
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: But I just want to say good on Florida. Good

381
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,479
Speaker 1: on them. There were a lot of folks who were

382
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 1: really mouthy last Tuesday and Wednesday Thursday that are ghosts. Today.

383
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: I still hadn't seen the longhorned Lambow guy. The reason

384
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: I know that he means what he says is because

385
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: he has a car in his profile picture. Where's he?

386
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: Where's anyway? It's not that I hold grudges. I don't

387
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 1: know why anyone would ever think that, just because I

388
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 1: remember the names of individual Twitter profiles. Absolutely not guys

389
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: all joking aside. It was a tough week to be

390
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: picking Florida last week, so I'm not rooting. I'm not rooting,

391
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: but I did do a little fist bump when I

392
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: saw that Florida pulled that out yesterday. Now it's up

393
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: to me to convince people that Texas is not dead,

394
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: and that is forty eight hours before we have to

395
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: pick the ou Texas game Tuesday. Quick trip can get

396
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: you there. They fuel the Fall Don't Live tour. We

397
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: were down in Tallahassee last night and that was a

398
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: good one. That was a really good trip. We hadn't

399
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: been down there for a game in a long time.

400
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: Would go back, Absolutely, would go back, But that begs

401
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: the question, of course, there's a really interesting slate this

402
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: week of games. Where do we go? Where do we go? Now?

403
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: You should know, yeah, you should know that there's some

404
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: things in Nashville that I need to attend to Saturday

405
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: night early Sunday morning, which has impacted our decision making here.

406
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: But there are a lot of good games to choose

407
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: from this week. So I'm going to choose a place

408
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: where the last time we went there was a field storming,

409
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: there was a walk off field goal, and there was

410
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: a field storming. I'm going to choose a place that

411
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: I have badly wanted to get back to ever since

412
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: that place is Columbia, Missouri. We are going to visit Eli,

413
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: Drinklettzs and France Alabama in town this Saturday. Three and

414
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: a half point home dog there interesting, very interesting. Yeah,

415
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: And it's an eleven am kickoff. And I haven't spoken

416
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: for quite a while about my affinity, my love for

417
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: early kickoffs, but it's time. It's time to revisit that

418
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 1: because we love them. So we're going to be there

419
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: and we are looking forward to it, and then the

420
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 1: rest of the slate that day is loaded too. This

421
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: could have been Indiana at Oregon. I think we're gonna

422
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: see Orgon a couple of times later in the year.

423
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: That factored into the decision. There also obligations later in

424
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: the day factored into the decision here. So several good choices,

425
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: several right choices. But via quick trip, we will be

426
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: in Columbia, Missouri Saturday, looking forward to it. There's nothing

427
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: wrong with your audio. I just saw the piece of

428
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: paper that popped up in front of me. Bradley, you

429
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: mind if I take a sip of water. I'm gonna

430
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: take a sip of water. We're about to talk Penn State.

431
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: Just if everyone wants to settle into their chairs. Okay,

432
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: so we have some breaking news on the show, and

433
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need to find it from myself. So if

434
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: you'll just hold on a second, We've been waiting for

435
00:22:52,960 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: this all day. Let's see, as of twenty minute minutes ago,

436
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: the James Franklin game tweet or game week tweet has

437
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: come out. Game Week. Let's do this together and go

438
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 1: one to O nitty Nation Northwestern, Northwestern, Northwestern. It's just

439
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: tradition he does it every week. There were some people

440
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: wondering if he was going to do it this week,

441
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: and he has travel set him back a little bit today,

442
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: but he has tweeted it out all right, Boy, oh boy.

443
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 1: I have never been asked about a segment more than

444
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: this one. Throughout a Sunday, UCLA beat Penn State in

445
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: what I would call easily the most stunning outcome of

446
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: the season so far, and in terms of Penn State football,

447
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: the most stunning outcome I remember maybe in my lifetime.

448
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,719
Speaker 1: I don't really know. I can't remember what happened when

449
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: I was eight years old. I will give it credit.

450
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: This was the most out of nowhere four and a

451
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: half chili game I've ever seen. A lot of my

452
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: former colleagues, the esteemed Jennifer Dell included, we're working this game,

453
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: and candidly, I don't think they really expected what they got.

454
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: That's why you play the games, though, That's why God

455
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: has us play the games. We got to honor the

456
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: rule around here. The rule is we talk winners first.

457
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, flat out respectfully to Ucla, ninety

458
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: eight percent of this is going to be about Penn State.

459
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: But you deserve the spotlight. UCLA was there to play dead.

460
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: That's what their job was. Their role, even according to

461
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 1: me last week, their role was to just make sure

462
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: the lights are on in the stadium, make sure you

463
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: unlock the locker rooms, and make sure you show up

464
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: on time. But this is Penn State's get right spot.

465
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: This was the medicine they needed, and they got poisoned.

466
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: Penn State got poisoned. Nobody told UCLA. Nobody told them

467
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: what the role was, so they had the audacity to

468
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: show up and compete. Now take you a long way,

469
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: it really will. Niko Aamaliava ends up playing the game

470
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: we all waited for him to play at Tennessee. Unbelievable

471
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: effort yesterday. Nico's taking a fair amount of criticism. I've

472
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: been critical of him, but I will tell you Nico

473
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: and Maliava played out of his mind yesterday. Just all

474
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: things considered, I mean, think about what was expected versus

475
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: what you ended up getting. Think about how inexplicable Jim

476
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: Knowles and Penn State played him. But that's only part one.

477
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: You still got to take advantage of it, and he

478
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: took advantage of it. And I will tell you one

479
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: thing in the Big Ten. That's been a hallmark for

480
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: a long time is the middle to lower tier teams

481
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten never have dynamic quarterbacks. It's one

482
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: of the big differences you notice about the Big Ten

483
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: in the SEC when you play like that bottom half

484
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: of the Big Ten, they never have dynamic quarterbacks in

485
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: the SEC. Mississippi State can randomly have a future first

486
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: round draft pick a quarterback, just mentioning them generically, like

487
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: Arkansas of Kentucky. Like randomly, they can just have one.

488
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: What you saw yesterday, and you saw a very bad

489
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: u cla team that just happens to have a seven

490
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: figure per year quarterback who came from Tennessee. And we

491
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: all remember that story. So unbelievable. Okay, congrats, I mean, well,

492
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about UCL a little more at

493
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: the end. Not a golf clap, just a full throated

494
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: clap for you. This is about Penn State. Here's where

495
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 1: my head was at yesterday. I was getting to see

496
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: bits and pieces of this game live. We were headed

497
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: into dope Campbell Stadium at Florida State. And so you

498
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: know you're first off, you gotta check and see if

499
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: your app's working right. This is one of those games.

500
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: It happens about two or three times a year. There's

501
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: a score that starts coming in that's so shocking, so jarring.

502
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: You think to yourself, Oh, the app's messed up. It

503
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: means Penn State's up twenty seven to seven. And then

504
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 1: you look and you go to like another website and

505
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: they all say the same thing, and you ask your buddy, Hey,

506
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: you gotta score on this YouTube TV. You got it

507
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: pulled up. Well, there it is in living color. Yeah,

508
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: oh wow, that's the real sk So I was in

509
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: complete and utter disbelief at witnessing this. I don't remember

510
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,959
Speaker 1: every Penn State game I've ever watched. I just remember

511
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: none of them have ever hit me in the face

512
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: like this. Two eighty five to ninety two I think

513
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: was the yardage edge at the half. So I will

514
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: tell you a first that happened today. We do the

515
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: Sarah McLaughlin Special every week. Hold on just a second,

516
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: press We do the Sarah McLaughlin Special every week. I

517
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: have never had members of a fan base collectively demand

518
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: that I make their team the Sarah McLaughlin Special until today.

519
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: It's almost like the fan base has resigned and they

520
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: want someone to hurt other than them. I know that's

521
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: Jesse's attitude. He's been moping around here all day. So,

522
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, where else do we go but State

523
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: College Pennsylvania by way of Pasadena, California. Penn State is

524
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: the Sarah McLaughlin Special. They were twenty four and a

525
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: half point favorites entering the game, and they were down

526
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: twenty at the half. James Franklin, Jim Knowles, Andy Kolniki,

527
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: making a combined forty seven billion dollars per year, got

528
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: beat by a first time ever thirty three year old

529
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: play caller who I kid you not, admitted he didn't

530
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: even know how to work the headset during the game,

531
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 1: and a coach making his P four debut. UCLA is

532
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 1: so horrible. They entered the game zero to four. This season,

533
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: they lost two games to the G five. They got

534
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: beat by New Mexico thirty five to ten, and they

535
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: scored on the first five drives. They put up forty

536
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: two on gym Knowles, they went six for six in

537
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: the red zone. They ran it for two seventy They

538
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: punted once in the first quarter, Josh. The entire game

539
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: against Penn State, they punted once they had a nineteen

540
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: minute edge in time of possession. They went ten of

541
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: sixteen on third down. They went from having not held

542
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: the lead this entire season to never trailing in this game.

543
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: K Tron Allen just mind boggling, averaging six yards of

544
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: touch had two touchdowns yesterday, nine carries in the game.

545
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: I don't even know how to explain it. I have

546
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: no idea. Penn State is the first Top ten team

547
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: to lose to an zero to four team or worse

548
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: since nineteen eighty five. And when reached for comment, producer Jesse,

549
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: the most loyal Penn State, a lum slash fan that

550
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: I have ever met, was quoted as saying, I'm out,

551
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: and then he walked out of the room. The Sarah

552
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: McGlaughlin special the easiest one of the year. Penn State

553
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: implodes at the hands of UCLA, Clemson, and Penn State

554
00:29:54,680 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: somehow returned everything that you think a team needs to

555
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: compete at the highest levels, and they regressed. And I

556
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: always caution on the show about not getting carried away

557
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: with returning starters returning production, but returning production was kind

558
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: of important, and they had a lot of it, and

559
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: then the production they didn't have like at wide receiver

560
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: they went and got via the portal and they're just worse.

561
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: And there's several theories out there as to how. But

562
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: you remember what I said last week, because I really

563
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: meant it. I wouldn't say stuff like this if I

564
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: wasn't intentional about it. I told you after the Organ game,

565
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: I'm not prone to flying off the handle and knee

566
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: jerk reactions and hyperbole after one loss. The Organ game

567
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: was not one game, and I'm not sure outsiders really

568
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: understood that as much as people close to Penn State did.

569
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: The Organ game was a referendum game. The Organ game

570
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: wasn't even like a report card or a midterm. It

571
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: was kind of a final exam in a sense that

572
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: if you failed the final exam, it was kind of done.

573
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: Anything thereafter didn't matter. Now, what I underestimated was how

574
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: immediately the team would reflect that. I expected the fan

575
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: base to reflect it immediately, and they did. Like a

576
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: lot of them said, that's it, this was the one

577
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,239
Speaker 1: we can't get it done against them. We'll never get

578
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: it done under this guy. I'm out. A lot of

579
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: them said that last week. I've never seen Penn State's

580
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: team say that I've never seen collectively the energy given

581
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: off by the organization say that until yesterday, and I

582
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: just underestimated how immediate it would be. Landon tang Well,

583
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: who by the way, does a great, great job kind

584
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: of covering Penn State, covers a little beyond Penn State

585
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten. I highly recommend you give him

586
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: a follow. But I saw him say this last night,

587
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: he said after Oregon's win over Penn State. Josh Pate

588
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: said he thought the loss marked a new trajectory for

589
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: Penn State football, but he wasn't sure if it was

590
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: positive or negative. Well, you got your answer quickly. He's right,

591
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: He's right. I spoke about timelines a lot last week,

592
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: and just to remind people in case you missed last

593
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: week's show, remember we're at that point, twenty four hours

594
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: on the heels of Oregon beating Penn State. Penn State

595
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: folks are distraught at this point, not even knowing what

596
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: was coming down the road. But they were distraught at

597
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: this point, and I didn't lean away from it. I

598
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,239
Speaker 1: leaned into it. And here's what we said about the

599
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: timeline and how the Oregon loss changed everything on last

600
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: week's show. I think last night's result began a new

601
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: timeline for Penn State football, and I have no idea

602
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: which one it is, because it could be that it

603
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: began a trajectory that ends with James Franklin not at

604
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: Penn State anymore in like three years or something like that.

605
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying fired. I don't even know how

606
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: it would happen. I'm speaking hypothetically. I'm just saying I

607
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: could envision three years from now Franklin's not there anymore.

608
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: And the conversation is, you know, this really began with

609
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: that organ game a few years back. Nothing was ever

610
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: the same after that. It could be that, But I'll

611
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: tell you what else it could be. It could be

612
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: that James Franklin looks himself in the mirror and says

613
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,719
Speaker 1: exactly what I just said. That was as good as

614
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna get with my current way of doing things here.

615
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: Last night was the end of James Franklin's Penn State

616
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: one point zero, and tomorrow begins James Franklin Penn State

617
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: two point Oh. Well, here we are in the two

618
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: point zero era. Look, I don't know how they get

619
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: it back. There are no guardrails here. They're sort of

620
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: off the cliff. Now, we've never been here before. So

621
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,959
Speaker 1: the entire time James Franklin's been at Penn State, there

622
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,479
Speaker 1: have been a lot of big games they've been in

623
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: and they've lost. And up until about five minutes ago,

624
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: I always went back and forth on the show with

625
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: a lot of viewers, even some Penn State fans, because

626
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: they kept getting close and they kept just bumping their

627
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: head against the wall instead of breaking the wall down.

628
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: And then people would yell, oh, James Franklin's overrated, and

629
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: I would say, no, he's not. No one rates him

630
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: top five, but they rate him in the five to

631
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: ten range, which is exactly where a guy should be

632
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: who beats everyone in the ten to twenty range but

633
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: falls against the teams and coaches that tend to be

634
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: in the one to five range. And I was okay

635
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: with that because that's a really easy team to figure out,

636
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 1: that's a really easy coach to figure out. And I'll

637
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: defend him if people say he's overrated, I'll defend him

638
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: because he's winning the games that you know, odds makers

639
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: kind of indicate he's supposed to win, and he's losing

640
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 1: the ones they say he's supposed to lose. But those

641
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: were the guardrails, and the guardrails are gone now. You know,

642
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: in Tennessee and in rural Pennsylvania, central Pennsylvania, they have

643
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: a lot of mountainous terrain, and so sometimes, like if

644
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: you've ever flown into Harrisburg and you try to drive

645
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: to State College, it's not light. Landing in Wichita and

646
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: driving to Kansas City or vice versa. That's a straight

647
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 1: shot and you can see six miles in any direction.

648
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes you can't see sixty feet in any direction when

649
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 1: you're driving through hills, but you feel a little sense

650
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,439
Speaker 1: of comfort because they're guardrails, so that even if worst

651
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: case scenario happens and some guy side swipes you or

652
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: you have a blowout, the car's going to hit the guardrail.

653
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: That's been penn State football for a long time. I

654
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: have felt such at ease that even at the worst,

655
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 1: we're not really getting that far off the road. There

656
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: are no guardrails anymore. Guardrails are gone. That's what I

657
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: meant when I said the Oregon game was a point

658
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: of no return for the James Franklin one point zero

659
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: way of doing things. There's no going back to the

660
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: way it was so Now when you look at the

661
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: fact that they still got to play Indiana, and they

662
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: still got to play Nebraska, and they got to go

663
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: to Iowa, they go to Ohio State, they go to

664
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: Michigan State, they will lose one or more of those games,

665
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 1: and there's no limit to how bad it could be.

666
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: You thought the floor on this team may be nine

667
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: to three. I heard many people say in the preseason,

668
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: this is the most slam dunk playoff team there is.

669
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 1: They're not going to go to the playoff. They will

670
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: not go to the playoff. In fact, they may be

671
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 1: closer to flirting with seven or eight wins than they

672
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: are nine or ten wins. And so for the first

673
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: time in a decade, it's about how long he's been there,

674
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: total unfamiliar territory, and I don't really know how to

675
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: process it. I know a lot of you don't know

676
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: how to process it. But here's the difference. Okay, So

677
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: when I said what I said, here's what I expected

678
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: to happen. I expected there to still be guardrails. I

679
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: expected that there was a worst case scenario that of

680
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: course included a loss to Ohio State, and who knows,

681
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 1: maybe even one more and that's eight and four. But

682
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: then James gets to the end of the season and

683
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: makes a lot of changes that he knows he needs

684
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: to make, and he course corrects and he defines a

685
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: little different way they're going to do this and that.

686
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: But you can't do that in the season. Well, the

687
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: problem with making decisions as a head coach, which you

688
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 1: get paid a lot of money to do, is once

689
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: you make them, you've made them. You don't get to

690
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: make new choices on your staff. You don't get to

691
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: change your recruiting philosophy, you don't get to portal in

692
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 1: new players in week seven. You're stuck with what you're

693
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: stuck with. And it's no different than if you're driving

694
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: somewhere and you miss an exit and you're on the interstate.

695
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 1: You know you missed the exit, but the GPS says

696
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,439
Speaker 1: the next chance you have to turn around is three

697
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: and a half miles down the road. Imagine someone's in

698
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: the back seat and they keep kicking you in the

699
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: back saying you're going the wrong way. Hey, we missed

700
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: our exit. You're going the wrong way. Hey, hey, hey,

701
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: where are we going? We're supposed to be back there. Well,

702
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: you know that you know that. The difference is they

703
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: just get to keep saying that even though you know

704
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 1: good and well, you already know what they're saying before

705
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: they say it. But you can't fix it. You can't

706
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: fix it because you got three and a half miles

707
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: to go. James Franklin can't fix a lot of this

708
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,359
Speaker 1: because he's got an entire season left to go. And

709
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: that's even if he plans on fixing anything. Was my point.

710
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,439
Speaker 1: I don't know, because I can't get in his head.

711
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if he even sees fit to fix anything.

712
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: I just know they missed the exit on this season.

713
00:37:55,280 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: They totally missed it. And now the the question that

714
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people are asking is should they fire him.

715
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: I have no clue how you even do that. It's

716
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: fifty six million dollars to pay if you want to

717
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 1: fire him. First off, I don't even wade into those waters.

718
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 1: That's not my money, So I'm not send here telling

719
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: anyone else out to spend it. And I know, even

720
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 1: if we were to look at James Franklin through the

721
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: harshest of lenses, if you apply the logic lens on there,

722
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: you do still have to bake him the opportunity for

723
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: him to just have a down year. I'm not holding

724
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: him to a different standard than I'm holding a lot

725
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: of other coaches at high level programs too, because I've

726
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: said that about some coaches at other high level programs.

727
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: But okay, let's just say that's unacceptable to you because

728
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: it's your program. It's not my program. So if it's

729
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: unacceptable to you, what's going to happen to him is

730
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 1: up to him. I mean, be real, now, you're not

731
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: paying fifty six million dollars to buy him out. Now,

732
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: if we get to the end of the season and

733
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 1: something happens where a mutually agreed upon reduced buyout is negotiated,

734
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: I don't know why he would do that, but maybe

735
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: he does. Okay, well, that could change the calculus if

736
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: he were to take another job, of course, that changes

737
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: the calculus. Follow up question is which job would it be. Frankly,

738
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 1: I think there could have been some in play up

739
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: until this weekend that aren't in play anymore. So I

740
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,439
Speaker 1: don't even know what would be on the radar there.

741
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 1: I just know that they're still in the back corner

742
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,479
Speaker 1: of my mind. Actually in the front of my mind.

743
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: There's a whole part of me that loves James Franklin.

744
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: He's been great to us, so I root for him.

745
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: But he knows all this is true, can't find it.

746
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: I do. One thing I wonder is and you're not

747
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: gonna get this out of him, probably ever, and you

748
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,959
Speaker 1: especially wouldn't get it out of him in the middle

749
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 1: of the season. I wonder if he looks at anything

750
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: and unequivocally says that I will change once I get

751
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: to the end of the year. This person will not

752
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,399
Speaker 1: be here anymore once I get to the end the year.

753
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 1: That we cannot know. That we cannot know, but I

754
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: will tell you one thing. There's still a long way

755
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: to go in that season. And those are a lot

756
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: of players and a lot of coaches who returned in

757
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: many cases with one goal in mind, and that goal's

758
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: probably out the window. Mathematically, they're not eliminated, but just

759
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 1: looking at the quality of play and knowing there's not

760
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: a whole lot of mystery about this team. It's not

761
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 1: like this team's going to improve thirty percent in this

762
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 1: compartment or this category. You kind of got what you got.

763
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: They're probably going to lose more games, and there's just

764
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: a lot of things I'm worried about with Penn State

765
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 1: football product on the field that I've never worried about before.

766
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 1: But I will tell you, if you were agnostic to

767
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: this game, if you didn't have a rooting interest, if

768
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: you just kind of were watching, if you were watching

769
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: that CBS feed, something happened in it that I didn't

770
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: know about because I wasn't able to watch it live.

771
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: So I went back watched a lot of the games

772
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: this morning, and sometimes I'll watch all twenty two copies.

773
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll watch broadcast copy. I chose to watch the

774
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: broadcast copy of this game because I wanted to know

775
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: how it felt. I also love for games that are upsets.

776
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: I don't just want to watch the plays. I want

777
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: to feel when did it start to set in? Like

778
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: when did the vibe? When did the mood start to shift?

779
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: When did the broadcast team go from here we are

780
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:19,280
Speaker 1: because we're supposed to be here to Oh wow, underdog

781
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: got out of the gate kind of hot today too.

782
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: This could actually happen, Well, it happened pretty quick in

783
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 1: this game. But the most awesome thing I saw was

784
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: I was texting back and forth with Adam Zucker because

785
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: he is in studio for the Big Ten on CBS

786
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 1: during the game, you see him. They tossed to and

787
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: fro from the studio in New York. And I've gone

788
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: up there and worked with those guys when I was

789
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: at CBS several times. And I've worked with Rick Neuheisel

790
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: several times. I've been in studio when we're watching games

791
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: that we're going to do reports on at halftime, like

792
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna come to us for studio coverage. And so

793
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 1: I've sat next to Rick new Heiseel several times and

794
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: we're just watching games on the desk. Brian Jones over there,

795
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: we're just watching games on the desk because we're we're

796
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: gonna be the halftime for the game. So I've already

797
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: known the vibe that he gives off and what it's

798
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: like watching a game with him. All I ever did

799
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: when I went to New York was I had Rick

800
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 1: sit there and tell me UCLA stories and Washington stories

801
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 1: and USFL stories and watch games with him. Awesome. You

802
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: just keep your mouth shut. You were like a sponge.

803
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: You learn a whole lot. Okay, So the situation at

804
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: UCLA this week was head coach is gone. So you've

805
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: got an interim head coach, Tim Skipper. Then they let

806
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: go of the offensive coordinator and they elevated Jerry Neuheisel,

807
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: Rick new Heiseel's son, to offensive coordinator, and Rick is

808
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: doing studio coverage for the pre halftime in post of

809
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 1: the game that Jerry is now the offensive coordinator in

810
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,879
Speaker 1: And it didn't dawn on me till this morning. I thought, wait, wait, wait,

811
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,800
Speaker 1: that was the CBS game, which means Rick must have

812
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: been in New York, which means he was watching his

813
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: own son be the offensive coordinator for the game. And

814
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: then I text the Zucker and he said, oh buddy,

815
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: and he just started firing off videos to me. And

816
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: some of you saw this. A lot of you saw this.

817
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: If you didn't see this yesterday, this is unbelievable. I've

818
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 1: had this vantage point just never watching Rick watch his

819
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: own son coach. This was new heiselind Studios yes yesterday.

820
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: Roll at Bradley, Let that clock keep going.

821
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 3: Beautiful friggin' job, your son.

822
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 4: Go sure score, Go for two, Go for two, Go

823
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:47,399
Speaker 4: for two.

824
00:43:50,400 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, come on, baby, yeah, is freaking really good?

825
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: Maliava, Who did Rick Neuheisel have the slightest clue? That

826
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: Niko Yamaliava was going to bring that kind of joy

827
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: to his life a few months ago when all that

828
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 1: portal drama was going on. Just goes to show you

829
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: once you think you've got college football figured out, it

830
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 1: confuses you all over again. But I watched that like

831
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 1: fifty times this morning. That was unbelievable. Guys, got I

832
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: got nothing good to tell you at Penn State. I

833
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: wish I did. Jesse was curled up in the fetal

834
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: position when I got into work today, and honestly, he

835
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: worked out of that posture most of the day. It's

836
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: a miracle weave and got the show put together. It's bad.

837
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: It's bad. Sister Hazel had this on Long Winter. Give

838
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 1: me a long Winter man, Sorry, I would. I would

839
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: recommend you, guys, adopt a team. Just adopted some people.

840
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: Adopt a mile on the highway to clean up litter.

841
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: Adopt the team or else your minds are going to

842
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 1: go to places you really don't want it to go. Guys,

843
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: you have got one of the highest paid coaching staffs

844
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: in the country, and they had a staff that, truth

845
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: be told, needed the game to kick off at twelve

846
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: thirty Pacific because they needed to get to a second

847
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 1: job at Kroger later that night. It was bad. It

848
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,359
Speaker 1: was really really bad. And if someone tells you wasn't

849
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 1: that bad, they're lying. It was bad. It's the worst

850
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 1: thing I've seen. It was Bama Vandy last year, except

851
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: that was a first year's staff. This staff has been

852
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 1: there in many cases for a decade, like they are

853
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: what they are at this point. It was bad. Franklin, Tennessee,

854
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: is tuned in. Prescott, Arizona, is tuned in. Battle Creek, Michigan,

855
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: home of Rob Bandan, is tuned in. And I appreciate you, guys,

856
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:46,240
Speaker 1: and I just ask, if you haven't already check check

857
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: check check if you're subscribed, because like fifty two percent

858
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: of you who watched the show are not subscribed, and

859
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: it's free and it doesn't sign you up for anything.

860
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: It just helps us. And I don't need your help

861
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: right now. Jesse really does. He really could use a

862
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 1: pick me up. So if you just rage watch me

863
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: and you would never help me to save your life,

864
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 1: Help Jesse, please help. That's where we need the Sarah

865
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: McLaughlin music. Help Jesse. Okay, let's move on, Jess. Do

866
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: you remember that Kevin Denny song, that's just Jesse underrated

867
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: country song from the nineties. I haven't played it for

868
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 1: him in a while. I may play it for him.

869
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 1: I may play it for him a little bit later tonight.

870
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: We learned that Derek Rutten watches the show last week,

871
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: so maybe Kevin Denny's watching the show. Miami beat Florida

872
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 1: State twenty nine to twenty two. At the game I

873
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: was at. This was fueled by quick trip. That's how

874
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: we got down there, That's how we got back. It

875
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 1: was a two chali game, though that was masquerading as

876
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: a one possession game. If you look at the final there,

877
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: Miami was favored by four and a half. They won

878
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 1: by six. That tracks. So we got about the game

879
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 1: we expected right, No, No, we did not. There's no

880
00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: team in the country that looks like Miami. Guys, that

881
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,359
Speaker 1: stadium was unbelievable. That's us showing up amazing. I mean,

882
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 1: in terms of endgame tradition, I don't really think I

883
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: don't really think that Doe Campbell and Florida State take

884
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: a back seat. If you've never been down there, just

885
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 1: please make a trip down there at least once. Get

886
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 1: you a good night game. Preferably with Miami in town unbelievable.

887
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 1: But as for the game itself, standing field level, because

888
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: I hadn't seen Miami in person this year in a game,

889
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: They're a different team than anyone I have seen Ohio

890
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: State and Texas in person this year. I've seen Bama

891
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: in person. I've seen Georgia in person. I've seen Michigan

892
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: in person. There is no team that looks like Miami.

893
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: There is no team that big and that fast and

894
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:50,879
Speaker 1: that physical and that aggressive as Miami nowhere. I don't

895
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 1: know if they'll win their conference. I don't know if

896
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 1: they'll win their national championship. I don't know what they'll win.

897
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,879
Speaker 1: I just know they won yesterday, and I know they

898
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:03,399
Speaker 1: have what I would affectionately refer to as creatures all

899
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: over the place. And there were a lot of times

900
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 1: last night. If you watched Florida State, you watch Tommy

901
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: Castelano's specifically, Tommy Castellanos knows his athletic profile, he knows

902
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,439
Speaker 1: what he's capable of. The way you can always tell

903
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: a guy's on the field with a different caliber of

904
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: athlete is when they do things comfortably because they think

905
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 1: they have time to do them and then they just boom,

906
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: space closes, ground closes, and they're almost shocked. They're like,

907
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: wait a second, I thought I had room. I thought

908
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: I had space. I thought I had an angle. You

909
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: do eleven other saturdays of the year. You just didn't.

910
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 1: You just didn't, hear man, And it's not your fault.

911
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,760
Speaker 1: It's not your fault. They were just they were created

912
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: in a different lab than you. I don't know what

913
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: else to say. So it was a weird game because

914
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: Miami it felt like they dominated, and then the box

915
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: score says, uh ah, so did my eyeballs lie? Does

916
00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 1: the box score lie? Because best I could till we

917
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,760
Speaker 1: ended the third quarter, Miami's up twenty eight to three,

918
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: and yet they got out gained in the game. They

919
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: got out rushed third and fourth down edge Florida State.

920
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: The turnover game went the other way, and that's a

921
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 1: lot of what decided this. Miami had thirteen penalties for

922
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: one hundred and fourteen yards. So the box score is line,

923
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: we should just throw it in the trash. The box

924
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: score lied here. It's hard. I'll tell you one thing

925
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,439
Speaker 1: I picked up on is Miami got to a certain spot.

926
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:32,919
Speaker 1: Their fan base will tell you this and they thought

927
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: they throttled back, and they did because they knew they

928
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: had the game in hand. Then it got a little

929
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 1: too close for comfort late and you try and crank

930
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: the car back up and you realize, oh, oh, it

931
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: needs a little while. I mean, Shannon Dawson sitting there

932
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: calling a good game. They're not running the ball worth

933
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 1: anything because Florida State's dictating with numbers that they're not

934
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,800
Speaker 1: going to let them, so they're throwing the ball. Carson

935
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 1: Beck's twenty to twenty seven, two forty one through the air,

936
00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 1: four touchdowns. Malachi Tony is going off. CJ. Daniels is

937
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: going off, and then they don't need to anymore. And

938
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: Shannon Dawson, you know, he can back off the accelerator

939
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:12,359
Speaker 1: a little bit. Someone call that going conservative. They would

940
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 1: call it, you know, taking the game out of the

941
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: doubt column and into the win column. And then all

942
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 1: of a sudden it's not in the win column, or

943
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: maybe it's not, and you try and crank it back

944
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 1: up and it's hard to crank it back up. It

945
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:27,839
Speaker 1: turns out they didn't need it, so Miami wins it.

946
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:33,280
Speaker 1: Malachi Tony's a freak, like not since what was that movie.

947
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:37,320
Speaker 1: Oh not since Rachel Lee Cook took those glasses off

948
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: and she's all that has someone so emphatically announced their

949
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 1: arrival to the world as Malachi Tony has so far

950
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: this year. It gets incredible seven catches last night, one

951
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: hundred and seven two scores CJ. Daniels of five seventy

952
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 1: eight two scores. You remember when A and M went

953
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 1: up to Notre Dame and they want to shootout, and

954
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 1: then A and M came home and they want a

955
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:06,359
Speaker 1: sluckfest against Auburn. I think that about Miami. I thought

956
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 1: they're versatile enough. We call those toolbox teams, meaning they

957
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: got enough tools in the toolbox to solve any problem.

958
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 1: You need to score forty five, I can score forty five.

959
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: You need to hold someone to under thirteen, I can

960
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 1: hold someone to under thirteen. Miami feels like that kind

961
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: of team. The difference is A and M had already

962
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 1: had to prove it, and Miami still really hadn't had

963
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 1: to win a shootout. But man, they've emphatically proved that

964
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 1: they got one half, and I do think they have

965
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,880
Speaker 1: the other half if and when they need it. Hadn't

966
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 1: seen them on the road yet. Okay, we've seen them

967
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 1: on the road now, So Miami is a dangerous team.

968
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 1: I'll talk more about them in a second, because that

969
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: doesn't guarantee anything. A lot of people are making irresponsible

970
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:50,399
Speaker 1: predictions about Miami right now. There's no guarantees here. There's

971
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 1: no guarantees. Ohio State won the whole thing last year

972
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,839
Speaker 1: and they're playing lights out. There's no guarantees for them.

973
00:51:57,120 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 1: Miami hadn't won anything yet, so there's especially no guarantee

974
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: for them. This is all new for them, at least

975
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: this version of Miami. More on them in a second.

976
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 1: Florida State's at the crossroads right now. It's been a

977
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: wild first month and a half. When you beat Bama

978
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: and I tell you you're still gonna be a two

979
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 1: loss team by the time you play Pitt, you're like, what, Yeah,

980
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 1: I would have been too. So we have terms. We

981
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: try and have as much unique language on the show

982
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: as possible. One of them that we use every now

983
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: and then it's townhouse teams. Townhouse teams. If you understand

984
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 1: the shape of a townhouse, and trust me, I didn't

985
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 1: growing up, because that's Harris County, Georgia. Not many townhouses. Outhouses, Yes, townhouses.

986
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 1: No townhouses though are very tall. There's a high ceiling,

987
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 1: there's a low floor, and that is kind of how

988
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,799
Speaker 1: Florida State profiles. And you saw the roof in week

989
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: one against Alabama. You saw, if not the floor, pretty

990
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 1: close to it against Virginia and yesterday. Miami's tough man.

991
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 1: They're gonna embarrass a lot of people probably this year.

992
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: But you saw Tommy cass total wild card. It's either

993
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 1: it's either ten or it's trash. He's not trash. The

994
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: result can be. There's very little in between with Tommy

995
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: Castellanos and three of their five games now he's been

996
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 1: their leading rusher and so there's just a disproportionate amount

997
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: of the workload that's on him. And he's not a

998
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: great player. He has ceiling, he has peaks where he

999
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 1: can touch greatness very very briefly but consistently. He's not

1000
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: going to be that. And I mean their longest pass

1001
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,359
Speaker 1: play was thirty yards yesterday. That was really their shot,

1002
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 1: and that's Malson's shot of sucking you in with that

1003
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: ground game, attacking you on the perimeter, which by the way,

1004
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: it was huge. Miami held them to three on that

1005
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: opening drive because once you get to sink your teeth

1006
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 1: then I mean we've seen Saban do it to him.

1007
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 1: We've seen Kirby do it to him when he was

1008
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,319
Speaker 1: at Auburn, and now we saw Corey Heathman do it

1009
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 1: to him. Once you get him figured out. Now, Yes,

1010
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: why it's important for malson offenses to strike early. So

1011
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 1: they had one pass play thirty yards I think it was.

1012
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,800
Speaker 1: Miami had four a four plus and that was another

1013
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: very important aspect of this game that Miami won. So look,

1014
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:10,320
Speaker 1: seasons are very long, very long, and that's why early

1015
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 1: in the year, when a team looks as good as

1016
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,839
Speaker 1: Miami does, I'm always careful. Just like when Florida State

1017
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 1: looked like they did week one, I mean half the

1018
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 1: folks out there were still convinced Florida State was terrible. No, No,

1019
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: they weren't terrible. We knew that after week one. But

1020
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 1: there's this thought that, all right, what we saw in

1021
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 1: week one, since we have no other sample size, or

1022
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,399
Speaker 1: we have no other sample in the size cause it's

1023
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 1: one game, that's all we have to go on. So

1024
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 1: we'll just assume that you are what we saw in

1025
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 1: week one. That's how people lose a lot of money

1026
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 1: betting on Week two. By the way, both ways terrible teams,

1027
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 1: great teams. You don't have that yet. You got one,

1028
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: You got one little dot in the cluster so far.

1029
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,800
Speaker 1: So now we got few more for each team. And

1030
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,359
Speaker 1: Miami is about as good a body of work as

1031
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:58,319
Speaker 1: anyone right now. But Miami's biggest threats Miami, and I

1032
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 1: don't mean that disrespectfully, like other teams couldn't beat them,

1033
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 1: but I do think they're better than every other team

1034
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna play. But that's if they're fully healthy, which

1035
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 1: they are right now. There's no guarantee they will be.

1036
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 1: So that's part one of the unknown. Part two of

1037
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 1: the unknown is you got a bunch of guys there

1038
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:20,720
Speaker 1: that haven't tasted high end success. Now. That makes them hungry,

1039
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:23,359
Speaker 1: but it also makes you prone to complacency if you're

1040
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: not careful. And the third part, which I'll continue to say,

1041
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: is the most dangerous part for Miami. Bradley, do me

1042
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 1: a favorite throther schedule? Back up? There are a lot

1043
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: of teams out there that play a really difficult schedule

1044
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 1: and they're going to face teams that are their equal

1045
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 1: talent wise, Miami's not the rest of the way. If

1046
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 1: Miami loses, it will be a fairly big upset and

1047
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaker 1: they will have lost to an inferior roster. That sounds

1048
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:51,799
Speaker 1: like a good thing. Oh, it is a good thing.

1049
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 1: That means you've got a really navigable path. Here's what

1050
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 1: could be the bad part, and this is Miami controls this.

1051
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 1: You either stay razor sharp and hold yourself to a

1052
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:04,920
Speaker 1: standard every week despite the fact that you don't really

1053
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:08,800
Speaker 1: need to to win that week, or you let yourself

1054
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 1: slip a little bit. Because I'm going to be completely

1055
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 1: straight with you, guys, when Stanford comes to town on

1056
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 1: October twenty fifth, Miami's C plus effort is plenty good

1057
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 1: enough to win that. How do you carry yourself that week?

1058
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 1: Do you carry yourself at an A plus standard no

1059
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:26,919
Speaker 1: matter the opponent on Saturday, or do you let human

1060
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: nature habits creep in knowing it won't matter, because it

1061
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 1: won't matter against Stanford it won't matter, But against Oregon

1062
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: in the second round of the playoff, it will matter.

1063
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 1: And if bad habits crept in and got crystallized during

1064
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 1: that stretch where you're favored by double digits every weekend

1065
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 1: because you weren't mature enough to handle your business and

1066
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 1: hold yourself to a standard. That's what can bite Miami,

1067
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 1: and you won't really know it until it comes time

1068
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 1: for them to play in a championship situation in Charlotte

1069
00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 1: or in the playoff. They will be a playoff team.

1070
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 1: I got no doubt. What about that? What do they

1071
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: do when they get there? I watched Oregon walk down

1072
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,839
Speaker 1: the one seed and get smoked in Round one last year,

1073
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,840
Speaker 1: so I don't frankly care what happens in the regular season.

1074
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,279
Speaker 1: Once we get that's a whole second season. And once

1075
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:13,879
Speaker 1: we get there, which they only need to be thinking

1076
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 1: about right now, it's a whole second season. What kind

1077
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 1: of habits have you allowed to creep in? That's literally

1078
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:22,439
Speaker 1: my biggest concern with Miami right now. That and just health,

1079
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: which I worry about for everyone. Appreciate flex Power, ma'am.

1080
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 1: It's been an awesome experience for a couple of weeks.

1081
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,840

Speaker 1: you need it anyway, make sure you go to flex Power.

1095
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: They're a big time partner of ours. They watched the

1096
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 1: show long before they ever became a partner, which is

1097
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: an ideal partner. So we appreciate them, and I appreciate

1098
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 1: you guys. Let's roll on. Still a lot to talk about.

1099
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 1: Where are we at. We're an hour in. There's not

1100
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: a ton left. It's just there's a whole lot of

1101
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 1: meat on the bone. The over under was an hour

1102
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: forty three and I'm not Ryan Grubb calling place for

1103
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 1: Alabama right now. Okay, I'm not paying attention to the spread.

1104
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 1: As I get close to the end of the show,

1105
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 1: I'm mad because he costs me money. But that's not

1106
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 1: why we're here. We're here to talk about the game.

1107
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 1: Alabama thirty Vanderbilt fourteen. What would we rate this? I'd

1108
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 1: rate a solid three child life out of five. I

1109
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 1: would hear three and a half, not quite four, but

1110
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:08,439
Speaker 1: I would hear three to three and a half. There

1111
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 1: was never going to be an overlook factor here. Alabama

1112
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 1: was never going to overlook Vanderbilt. Okay, I told the

1113
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 1: story a little bit, but now I'll tell you when

1114
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 1: when they walked off the field against Georgia. A lot

1115
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 1: of times the winning team, if I know the travel

1116
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:25,480
Speaker 1: staff and the coaching staff well enough, I'll go to

1117
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 1: that locker room. So I know Alabama pretty well. So

1118
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 1: I was over there, I was in there, I was

1119
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 1: around the team. They were talking about Vanderbilt before they

1120
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 1: left the building. They were talking about Vanderbilt as they

1121
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 1: were still loading buses at Sanford Stadium. I had no

1122
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: doubt that they had one hundred percent focus on Vandy.

1123
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 1: But Vandy's a good team, so they could still compete

1124
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 1: in this game because they're a very good team. Even

1125
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 1: if they do have your full focus, there's no smoking

1126
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 1: mirrors They're just a good team. So the way I

1127
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 1: saw this game and the reason I picked Bama to win,

1128
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 1: but I thought it would be very competitive, he goes.

1129
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:02,479
Speaker 1: Vandy dominated three categories last year's game. They dominated time

1130
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:06,920
Speaker 1: of possession, they dominated turnovers, and they dominated third down.

1131
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 1: Penalties also bit Bama in the game. Last year. Bama

1132
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 1: won time of possession thirty seven minutes plus to twenty

1133
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 1: two minutes plus. Yesterday, they won the turnover battle three

1134
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: to one. They won third down they had an edge there.

1135
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 1: And penalties they had three for twenty second straight game.

1136
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 1: Now they've been penalized less than their opponent. It's a

1137
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 1: big deal. It's why they won the game. So they

1138
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 1: are lethal in the red zone right now. That to me,

1139
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 1: if you want to pop a paper on this game,

1140
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,080
Speaker 1: that was kind of it. Bama was five of five

1141
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 1: for twenty three points in the red zone and Vandy

1142
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: was one of three with two turnovers down there, and

1143
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 1: that was where the game was decided. Because the game

1144
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 1: script itself would have thrown me for a loop. If

1145
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 1: you if you told me the way this thing was

1146
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 1: gonna start Friday, if you just gave me a little preview,

1147
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: I would have said Bama screwed. I watched the first

1148
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 1: quarter of this game live. I've since gone back and

1149
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 1: watched it like twice, but I was able to watch

1150
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 1: the first quarter live, and basically it felt like the

1151
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: fifth quarter of the twenty twenty four game. It just

1152
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 1: felt like they continued playing the twenty twenty four game

1153
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 1: because Vandy breaks that long touchdown run and I'm thinking,

1154
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 1: you better settle in because it looks a whole lot

1155
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 1: like that game looked for four quarters last year, Like

1156
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 1: if this stuff's happening early, it's gonna happen often. I

1157
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 1: was of the opinion that if you show me the

1158
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:38,919
Speaker 1: first quarter of this game, I'll have a really good

1159
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 1: read how it'll turn out. Well, that wasn't the case.

1160
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 1: That just was not the case. So I looked at

1161
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 1: our buddies at college football nerds. They said something earlier

1162
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 1: today that I totally get. They said, it feels like

1163
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 1: Alabama gives up twice as many points as they actually do.

1164
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 1: A lot of Bama fans feel that way, and that's

1165
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 1: cause you're spoiled. It was Bama fans got used to

1166
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:07,520
Speaker 1: watching Jonathan Allen and Ashawn Robinson, and who do they

1167
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 1: have behind him? Jaron Reid, some kid named Quinn Williams.

1168
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: Is there you ever heard a Christian Barmore? I don't know.

1169
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 1: He'll probably start in two years. You just don't have

1170
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 1: those guys anymore. I don't really think anyone does. And

1171
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 1: so you used to just be able to suffocate people. Well,

1172
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 1: that's not the way that you're gonna play defense. That's

1173
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 1: not the way you're even gonna pretend to be able

1174
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:28,720
Speaker 1: to play defense anymore. And sometimes people really overthink the room.

1175
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what the most important defensive stat is

1176
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 1: how many points is the other guy scoring right now?

1177
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:36,200
Speaker 1: How many points the other guy have on the board?

1178
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 1: Because if it's fourteen, you're probably doing okay. And that's

1179
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 1: what Vandy ended up scoring yesterday. It's just they got

1180
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 1: seven on the board early and they're moving the ball

1181
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 1: down in the red zone a couple of more times,

1182
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, here we go again. But they're

1183
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:52,280
Speaker 1: not scoring. They're not scoring, so it's okay, it's okay.

1184
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 1: After the first quarter of this game, Vandy had one

1185
01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:57,479
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy two yards. The rest of the way,

1186
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 1: they had seven points the rest of the way outscored

1187
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 1: him thirty to seven after the first quarter, and yet

1188
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 1: you're looking and you're saying, oh, come on, Caine, come

1189
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,479
Speaker 1: on a red zone trip again. Yeah, but we turned

1190
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 1: the ball over. Okay, I guess that's okay. Yeah, it's okay,

1191
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 1: it's okay. It's just a style this defense plays with.

1192
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 1: So it's not gonna look like eighty five Bears or

1193
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:21,720
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen Alabama. It's not going to look like that.

1194
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 1: They don't have those kinds of players. They got plenty

1195
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 1: good enough players. They just got to execute a little

1196
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 1: different kind of plan. If there's a little more bending,

1197
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 1: as long as there's not a whole lot of breaking

1198
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:35,280
Speaker 1: and the same kind of point totals end up on

1199
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 1: the board, it's okay, guys, it's gonna be okay. It's

1200
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:42,840
Speaker 1: a really good win. Remember how helpless you felt last year?

1201
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 1: Diego Pavia all over the place, felt like three of

1202
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 1: them were on the field. They popped him some yesterday,

1203
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 1: They made him confused, they made him look mortal yesterday.

1204
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 1: Not something they could do last year. So that's what

1205
01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:59,480
Speaker 1: given someone your full attention will do. I think this

1206
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:02,640
Speaker 1: offense still has a little different gear. I am very

1207
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 1: high on Alabama because they were my National Championship pick.

1208
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 1: So I badly need to be right. So I'm wish

1209
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 1: casting a lot of this. But I did hear Debor

1210
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 1: in the postgame kind of say the same thing. He said,

1211
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 1: there's still some stuff we need to click on offense,

1212
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:19,480
Speaker 1: there's still a different gear. I actually agree with him

1213
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 1: before I heard him say that. I'm looking at them

1214
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, hey, ground game finally showed up the

1215
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:29,760
Speaker 1: audacity of Alabama to have one hundred plus yard running

1216
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:33,440
Speaker 1: back in SEC play. You want a paper popper of

1217
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:36,440
Speaker 1: a stat. Jam Miller had over one hundred yards on

1218
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 1: the ground yesterday. That's the first Alabama running back to

1219
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 1: top one hundred yards in SEC play since twenty twenty three.

1220
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 1: Jace McClelland I think did it against Tennessee. They didn't

1221
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 1: have one do it last year. They did not have

1222
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 1: a tailback rushed for over one hundred yards in a

1223
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:57,200
Speaker 1: single conference game last year. So the drought has ended there.

1224
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 1: The penalty drought is ending, The running for one hundred

1225
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:05,280
Speaker 1: yards drought is ending. I just think the offense is

1226
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 1: obviously trending upwards pretty drastically. Ty Simpson has found himself.

1227
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 1: But again, it's not like he's played three years of

1228
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 1: this caliber football. It's a few weeks. We've seen a

1229
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 1: few weeks of it. We've seen jam Miller back for

1230
01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 1: now just the second week from injury, Guys like Latzier Brooks,

1231
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 1: Guys like Rico Scott, guys even like Isaiah Horton, who

1232
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 1: they brought in from elsewhere. A lot of that stuff

1233
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 1: just feels like it's still gelling, which means I think

1234
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 1: they still got a lot of upward mobility and they're

1235
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 1: already a really really good offense. Not to mention, you've

1236
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:43,960
Speaker 1: got the what I would call like the Proctor trailer

1237
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 1: version of the offense. Seventy four is just getting a

1238
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 1: touch or two every game. Now. Now, I'll keep my

1239
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:54,120
Speaker 1: mouth shut on that. I'm not surprised that they've given

1240
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 1: the ball to Caden Proctor. That's what I'll say. In

1241
01:05:57,120 --> 01:06:01,240
Speaker 1: having observed Alabama practice, I'm not surprised that seventy four

1242
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 1: has gotten the ball. I've been there in the summer

1243
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:08,560
Speaker 1: and I've watched them work out. It's Proctor just happens

1244
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 1: to be six eight three sixty. I wish you could

1245
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 1: just watch him run. I mean, you've seen him run

1246
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 1: a little bit, but see. The thing that happens to

1247
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 1: a viewer of a football game is your mind your

1248
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 1: eyes get calibrated to the game. So your mind and

1249
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 1: your eyes get calibrated to thinking, Oh, the wide receivers

1250
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 1: are faster than the running backs. The running backs are

1251
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 1: faster than the tight ends. The tight ends are faster

1252
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 1: than the linemen. What you don't realize is the linemen

1253
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 1: are faster than you because you go and sit behind

1254
01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 1: a desk all day and you play JV baseball ten

1255
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 1: years ago, and you still think you're an athlete. Maybe

1256
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 1: you are. I'm just telling you there are guys who

1257
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:50,040
Speaker 1: outweigh you times two on some of these teams, that

1258
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 1: would flat out smoke you in a foot race. Proctor's

1259
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 1: one of them. He just happens to weigh three hundred

1260
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 1: and sixty pounds. So I've watched them work out before,

1261
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 1: and I've watched him do stuff that guys that big

1262
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: aren't supposed to be able to do. And they looked

1263
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 1: at it and said, wait a second, this is more

1264
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 1: than a novelty act. Like he's a weapon for us.

1265
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:13,959
Speaker 1: Let's use him conditionally, And they have the past couple

1266
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 1: of weeks, and I don't necessarily think that's just something

1267
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:18,880
Speaker 1: they broke out, wants to laugh at and all right,

1268
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 1: well that's done now, that's not going anywhere. They're gonna

1269
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:25,720
Speaker 1: do that several more times this year. So Vanderbilt played

1270
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:28,520
Speaker 1: a solid game here. This is what happens, Okay, when

1271
01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:31,400
Speaker 1: you have people's attention and you go into their building

1272
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 1: and they are more talented than you, this is the

1273
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 1: result you get. Sometimes they have a buy now and

1274
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:41,640
Speaker 1: then LSU comes into Nashville in two weeks. LSU will

1275
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 1: be off a game I think against South Carolina. There

1276
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 1: are game script teams very important for them to get

1277
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:50,479
Speaker 1: a lead that I don't like them having a throw

1278
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 1: from behind to catch up. And they had the lead

1279
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:54,160
Speaker 1: the whole year, and they had the lead in this

1280
01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 1: game for a little while, but they weren't able to

1281
01:07:55,800 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 1: hold on to it. But they have now one conference law.

1282
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 1: Bama is undefeated in SEC play. Their loss was against

1283
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 1: Florida State's an ACC team. Bama goes on the road

1284
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 1: this week. We will be at the game. It's at Missouri.

1285
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 1: The line is three and a half. As of today,

1286
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:19,400
Speaker 1: Alabama is the significant favorite at FanDuel. I hadn't seen

1287
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:21,840
Speaker 1: these odds today they are the significant favorite to win

1288
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 1: the SEC. Well, I say significant. They're plus two hundred.

1289
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:28,280
Speaker 1: Georgia and Ole miss are tied at plus six hundred.

1290
01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:33,559
Speaker 1: Those numbers are fluctuated all year, So good on Bama.

1291
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:37,680
Speaker 1: Feels like the Georgia win and then you got the

1292
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 1: Vandy win. This week's game is the one I circled

1293
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:43,640
Speaker 1: after the Georgia game. I had no doubt that be

1294
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 1: up for Vandy. This is now a third week that

1295
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:50,360
Speaker 1: you got to be up. Missouri's coming off of bye

1296
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:52,760
Speaker 1: and you got to go into their building. You get

1297
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:55,639
Speaker 1: no breaks. Oh, by the way, your reward after that

1298
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 1: is you get Tennessee. If you make it through all that,

1299
01:08:58,320 --> 01:09:00,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna go to South Carolina, I think the next week.

1300
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:04,640
Speaker 1: So again, just life, just life in the SEC. Some

1301
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:09,800
Speaker 1: more takeaways that I had from Week six Texas A

1302
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:12,280
Speaker 1: and M kind of low key smothered Mississippi State. And

1303
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 1: it was bad enough where Brandon Walker was texting me

1304
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:16,599
Speaker 1: during the game. That's how bad it was. Complete game

1305
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 1: from A and M padlockstat you outrush someone two ninety

1306
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:25,759
Speaker 1: nine to seventy seven, you probably won the game. Four sacks,

1307
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:29,000
Speaker 1: nine more tackles for loss. They just wrecked teams. A

1308
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:31,639
Speaker 1: and M has a bunch of ways to win games.

1309
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 1: People are going to doubt them because of the whole

1310
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 1: A and M can't do this and do that thing.

1311
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:36,880
Speaker 1: This is one of the best teams in the country.

1312
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:40,200
Speaker 1: They play Florida this week. It's going to be an

1313
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:43,040
Speaker 1: incredible game. But look at what their stars are doing.

1314
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:46,839
Speaker 1: Ruben Owens twenty one carries one hundred and forty two yards.

1315
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:50,320
Speaker 1: Mario Craver touched the ball ten times, one hundred and

1316
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:53,160
Speaker 1: fifteen yards in a touchdown. Casey conceptsy on half a

1317
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: dozen of them eighty three yards two touchdowns. If you

1318
01:09:56,280 --> 01:10:00,320
Speaker 1: want me to nitpick, I can. Mike elko Lee means

1319
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 1: on us to doubt his team. He depends on us

1320
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 1: for that. He loves a gloomy media. There's still one

1321
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:10,639
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty third in penalties. We got to get

1322
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:14,919
Speaker 1: that cleaned up. Other than that, things are great. Texas

1323
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:19,679
Speaker 1: Tech is rolling. Texas Tech beat Houston thirty five to eleven.

1324
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:22,880
Speaker 1: They've won every game, but this is a paper popper.

1325
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 1: Texas Tech's won every game by twenty four or more

1326
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:29,880
Speaker 1: in a league that has been known for its competitive

1327
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 1: balance and parody. Is anyone going to even provide so

1328
01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 1: much as a speed bump for Texas Tech. They're the

1329
01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:39,280
Speaker 1: number two scoring offense in the country. They're the number

1330
01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:42,360
Speaker 1: four scoring defense in the country. I know most of

1331
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:45,360
Speaker 1: you haven't watched him. I know you haven't, and you're

1332
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:47,479
Speaker 1: not taking them seriously because they're a Big twelve team

1333
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:51,040
Speaker 1: and oh wow, cute the best of the Big twelve. Great,

1334
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:54,400
Speaker 1: there're some really good players in Double A. Then they

1335
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:57,200
Speaker 1: get called up to the majors. Guys, that is not

1336
01:10:57,280 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 1: what's happening here. What's happening here is a lot of

1337
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 1: players who would start and have started in the power

1338
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 1: to transfer to Texas Tech. And they're a very good team,

1339
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 1: and they're a very dangerous team. And they are not

1340
01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:12,160
Speaker 1: a team that merely hopes to get to the playoff.

1341
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:14,840
Speaker 1: They are a team you're not gonna want to play

1342
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:17,519
Speaker 1: if they get there. So that's a long way away.

1343
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:19,960
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to provide the backdrop. This is not

1344
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:23,000
Speaker 1: your normal Big twelve situation. It's not I got something

1345
01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:25,920
Speaker 1: brewing out there in Lubbock. Then I use that phraseology

1346
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:27,639
Speaker 1: because I know it fits the hype videos they want

1347
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:31,160
Speaker 1: to make. So something is brewing in Lubbock, Texas. They

1348
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:35,719
Speaker 1: play Kansas Saturday. Watch them, just watch them. They'll jump

1349
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 1: off the screen to you. There's a major gap, as

1350
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,200
Speaker 1: you can see in the odds to win the Big twelve.

1351
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:43,720
Speaker 1: Texas Tech plus one hundred. Arizona State is next up.

1352
01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:47,519
Speaker 1: I think they play Utah this week. Ohio State is

1353
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 1: such a boring team to watch for the best of reasons.

1354
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:53,960
Speaker 1: Right now, if you're not an Ohio State fan, I ask,

1355
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:57,320
Speaker 1: how much of Ohio State have you watched since Texas?

1356
01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:01,360
Speaker 1: Have you watched them? A lot of you haven't even

1357
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:05,680
Speaker 1: watched him because they're so dominant. Oh I forgot. We

1358
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:09,280
Speaker 1: wrote this down. This is cruel, so I'll go through

1359
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:12,760
Speaker 1: it quickly. They won forty two to three against Minnesota.

1360
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:16,000
Speaker 1: Just a body bagging. This is the Minnesota drive chart.

1361
01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:21,320
Speaker 1: Ere muffs kids. Field goal good. I forgot they scored

1362
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:23,519
Speaker 1: in the opening drive. Okay, well it's downhill from there.

1363
01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:27,639
Speaker 1: Field goal three and out, three and out, turnover on downs,

1364
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 1: three and out punt, brief trip to the locker room.

1365
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:34,840
Speaker 1: We're back out, three and out, three and out, missed

1366
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 1: field goal punt. It's over, go home night game at

1367
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:43,559
Speaker 1: the Shoe. Is that the first one? Since the Tennessee game.

1368
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:47,760
Speaker 1: I think so. Yeah, it turns out Ohio State's pretty

1369
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:51,800
Speaker 1: lethal at home at night. Imagine that Julian saying he's

1370
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:55,120
Speaker 1: got such a blessed situation right now. He's playing for

1371
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:56,960
Speaker 1: one of, if not the best teams in the country,

1372
01:12:57,479 --> 01:12:59,760
Speaker 1: and he gets to ease his way in because he

1373
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:01,559
Speaker 1: knows that the other side of the ball is not

1374
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:03,280
Speaker 1: going to give up more than like ten or fourteen

1375
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:07,040
Speaker 1: points max. So twenty three of twenty seven for three

1376
01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 1: to twenty six and three scores is more than enough.

1377
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:11,599
Speaker 1: And they got the number one score in the defense

1378
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:14,240
Speaker 1: in the country. Right now, they're good. They're not going anywhere.

1379
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:19,240
Speaker 1: My question is how often are they going to get pushed? Like,

1380
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:20,920
Speaker 1: is it gonna be one of those situations where we

1381
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:22,559
Speaker 1: get to the end of the year where we get

1382
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:25,880
Speaker 1: to the Big Ten championship game and Ohio State hasn't

1383
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 1: had parts of their team challenged all year? Like I'm

1384
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:35,840
Speaker 1: asking that we'll see Virginia is Virginia's there? They beat

1385
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:39,120
Speaker 1: Louisville thirty to twenty seven in overtime. Virginia is still there.

1386
01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:42,800
Speaker 1: The box scorer is lying to you, this was a

1387
01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:45,519
Speaker 1: great game. It could have been a forour Chalai Classic

1388
01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 1: Virginia yesterday, they got out gained three eighty three to

1389
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:54,599
Speaker 1: two thirty seven irrelevant first downs. They got out gained

1390
01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:58,559
Speaker 1: twenty five to fourteen irrelevant. It's irrelevant because they score

1391
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:02,400
Speaker 1: two defensive touchdowns and they're now three and ohero in

1392
01:14:02,479 --> 01:14:06,519
Speaker 1: acc play because they do this thing where sometimes they

1393
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:08,800
Speaker 1: play teams from their conference over there, but they don't

1394
01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:12,160
Speaker 1: count as a conference game. Again, don't ask me when

1395
01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm commissioner. We're out lawing that practice. But the schedule

1396
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:18,880
Speaker 1: gazers are out do we have Virginia. Wow, we got

1397
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:24,280
Speaker 1: Virginia schedule. So I'm gonna tell you if you're listening

1398
01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:28,799
Speaker 1: on podcasts, there are not high hurdles left on the schedule.

1399
01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:33,679
Speaker 1: They got Washington State. North Carolina is just a wet

1400
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:36,840
Speaker 1: bag of trash right now. They go to Cal. That's

1401
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:41,280
Speaker 1: a cross country trip. That's about what Cal is. Right now.

1402
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:44,280
Speaker 1: They got Wake Forest, who we bet on yesterday and

1403
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:47,800
Speaker 1: won money on. They go to Duke Virginia Tech. So again,

1404
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:50,280
Speaker 1: this is not we can't be doing this because as

1405
01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:52,320
Speaker 1: soon as we talked about this with Cal, they got

1406
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:55,400
Speaker 1: shut out by San Diego State. So we're not pretending

1407
01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:59,639
Speaker 1: Virginia is elite. What we are doing is saying every

1408
01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:03,400
Speaker 1: one of the games remaining is winnable, and as a result,

1409
01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 1: they have the third best odds to win the conference

1410
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:09,720
Speaker 1: right now. They're a distant third behind Miami and to

1411
01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 1: a lesser extent, Georgia Tech. But did you ever think

1412
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:15,200
Speaker 1: you'd check out the ACC odds at the midpoint of

1413
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:19,000
Speaker 1: the season and see Virginia with infinitely better numbers than Clemson.

1414
01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:25,880
Speaker 1: No me either. Moving on. Tough day for Iowa State yesterday,

1415
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:29,000
Speaker 1: but I'll take eleven and one. That's fine. They fell

1416
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:32,240
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati thirty eight to thirty. They were beat to death.

1417
01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:34,759
Speaker 1: I think they were down two corners. A wide receiver

1418
01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 1: went down. Is this excuse making? Of course it is? Yes,

1419
01:15:39,439 --> 01:15:42,080
Speaker 1: of course it is. But good on Cincinnati because this

1420
01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:44,320
Speaker 1: was a thirty one to seven game, and then good

1421
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:46,240
Speaker 1: on Iowa State for fighting back and making it a

1422
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:49,880
Speaker 1: one possession game. But the number two spot in the

1423
01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:54,640
Speaker 1: Big twelves wide open, like right now, Texas Tech's to

1424
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 1: clear number one. It could be Arizona State, it could

1425
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:01,000
Speaker 1: be Cincy, it could be Utah. Bring Young is undefeated,

1426
01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:04,360
Speaker 1: it could be TCU. Iowa State is there in that

1427
01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:07,400
Speaker 1: little clump of teams, it could be anybody. And lastly,

1428
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:13,000
Speaker 1: for a very specific reason, North Carolina got drug all

1429
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:17,360
Speaker 1: over their home field. Yesterday, North Carolina got splattered all

1430
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:20,720
Speaker 1: over Chapel Hill. Clemson beat them thirty eight to ten.

1431
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:23,840
Speaker 1: And that's only cause Dabo took pity on Bill Belichick

1432
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,920
Speaker 1: at halftime, because this was thirty five to three at

1433
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:30,719
Speaker 1: the half. You gotta be careful with Clemson. I don't

1434
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:34,280
Speaker 1: care about this game. There was not even the faintest

1435
01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:37,920
Speaker 1: hint of a pushback from North Carolina here, and there

1436
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:40,720
Speaker 1: may not be when they play Boston College, a team

1437
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:43,519
Speaker 1: that's completely lost its way. I am not about to

1438
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:46,200
Speaker 1: allow myself to get fooled and the thinking Clemson has

1439
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:49,519
Speaker 1: figured things out. You can prove that once you play

1440
01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:53,759
Speaker 1: better competition, which you will, because eventually you'll play SMU,

1441
01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:57,760
Speaker 1: you'll play at Louisville, you'll play FSU, you'll play South Carolina. No,

1442
01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:00,439
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that again. We're not doing the thing

1443
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:04,360
Speaker 1: where you just beat the unranked teams and then fool

1444
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 1: everyone into thinking your back and then you're not back. Nope,

1445
01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:09,240
Speaker 1: we're not doing that again. You got a long way

1446
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:12,840
Speaker 1: to go to prove your back. But man, North Carolina

1447
01:17:12,960 --> 01:17:17,280
Speaker 1: is a disaster. I don't. I know Mac Brown fairly well.

1448
01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:20,679
Speaker 1: Mac Brown is one of the best human beings walking

1449
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:25,280
Speaker 1: this planet, and he's got a heart of gold. But

1450
01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:29,759
Speaker 1: even I have to believe that Mac Brown was somewhere

1451
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:34,799
Speaker 1: yesterday in a very comfy recliner cashing a massive buyout

1452
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:38,400
Speaker 1: check with a smirk on his face, knowing good and

1453
01:17:38,439 --> 01:17:42,160
Speaker 1: well he could do infinitely better in twenty twenty five

1454
01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:46,320
Speaker 1: at North Carolina than Bill Belichick can and will, and

1455
01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:52,559
Speaker 1: they paid him to go away. The reason I speak

1456
01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:56,840
Speaker 1: so emphatically is because a blind man could have seen

1457
01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:59,240
Speaker 1: that this was not gonna work out. And you are

1458
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:02,120
Speaker 1: getting fleece and who knows. Maybe money's not a real

1459
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:04,960
Speaker 1: thing to North Carolina, but you're paying ten million of

1460
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:10,080
Speaker 1: it in this economy, paying Bill Belichick to just, I

1461
01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:13,840
Speaker 1: don't know, kind of mess around on your dime, on

1462
01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:18,400
Speaker 1: your time. I don't know. I thought North Carolina was

1463
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:24,200
Speaker 1: a prouder program than that. The AP is out before

1464
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:27,160
Speaker 1: we jet on out of here. The AP is out.

1465
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:30,080
Speaker 1: And by the way, we got like twelve million, or

1466
01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:32,800
Speaker 1: not twelve million, that would be a record, but about

1467
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 1: twelve thousand watching live right now. Again, if you're new here,

1468
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:39,120
Speaker 1: I appreciate you watching. I appreciate you being here. It's

1469
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:43,320
Speaker 1: America's College Football Show. Unofficially, all we ask that you

1470
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 1: do is subscribe to the channel, because that's how we

1471
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 1: keep the channel the way it is college football all year.

1472
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:55,000
Speaker 1: Imagine that the AP pole is out generated by flex power,

1473
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:57,320
Speaker 1: but flex power does not vote in this and I

1474
01:18:57,360 --> 01:19:00,880
Speaker 1: can tell because there is some exposure happening in the

1475
01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:03,320
Speaker 1: AP this week. Now tell you exactly what I mean.

1476
01:19:03,439 --> 01:19:06,680
Speaker 1: So or producer Jesse and director Bradley is showing you

1477
01:19:06,760 --> 01:19:10,240
Speaker 1: the AP on the screen right now. Florida State is

1478
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:14,439
Speaker 1: twenty fifth. UCF or USF is there now twenty fourth,

1479
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:18,720
Speaker 1: they're back, Memphis is twenty third, Iowa State dropped to

1480
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:22,439
Speaker 1: twenty two, Arizona State's at twenty one. Now I want

1481
01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:24,640
Speaker 1: to tell you what twenty through sixteen is, and then

1482
01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:26,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna see if you're picking up on something. Vandy

1483
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:29,880
Speaker 1: is at twenty, which is pathetic, but I'll talk about

1484
01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:33,960
Speaker 1: it in a second. Virginia's nineteen, Brigham Young undefeated is

1485
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:37,960
Speaker 1: at eighteen, Illinois at seventeen. Notre Dame is sixteen. Do

1486
01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:42,120
Speaker 1: you notice something here. Do you notice we haven't named

1487
01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:46,040
Speaker 1: a couple of names here? Where is Texas? Where is

1488
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:49,639
Speaker 1: Penn State? Oh josh, they lost yesterday. I know they lost,

1489
01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:54,720
Speaker 1: but they weren't tenth and twelfth. They weren't eighteenth and

1490
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:58,840
Speaker 1: twenty second. No. Last week, Texas was ninth, Penn State

1491
01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:02,200
Speaker 1: was seventh. They were top ten teams. Now, of course,

1492
01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:05,800
Speaker 1: anybody who watches the games knows that Texas and Penn

1493
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:09,600
Speaker 1: State had no business being top ten last week. It

1494
01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:14,040
Speaker 1: was stupid last week. Neither of them combined had a

1495
01:20:14,080 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 1: single win over a Power four team last week. But

1496
01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:20,920
Speaker 1: because of that brand, they were in the top ten.

1497
01:20:22,120 --> 01:20:25,320
Speaker 1: And now they lost a game. Each of them lost yesterday,

1498
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:28,360
Speaker 1: and you're telling me that's enough to knock them out completely.

1499
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:31,800
Speaker 1: What you did is you lied one way or the other.

1500
01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:34,160
Speaker 1: Either you lied by putting them in the top ten

1501
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:37,320
Speaker 1: last week where they had no business being, or you're

1502
01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:42,200
Speaker 1: lying with how far you just dropped them, especially with Texas,

1503
01:20:42,439 --> 01:20:44,639
Speaker 1: Like you're telling me Texas was a top ten team

1504
01:20:44,680 --> 01:20:48,040
Speaker 1: in your mind last week, but they lost by one

1505
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:50,800
Speaker 1: possession on the road to Florida, and that's enough to

1506
01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:53,160
Speaker 1: drop them all the way out. No, what you're telling me,

1507
01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:54,920
Speaker 1: is you know good and will They actually weren't even

1508
01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:58,280
Speaker 1: a top ten team last week. But because you had

1509
01:20:58,320 --> 01:21:01,120
Speaker 1: to save face because you had them ranked high in

1510
01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:04,240
Speaker 1: the preseason, even though we got like half a dozen

1511
01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:06,640
Speaker 1: games under our belt, we still got to acknowledge what

1512
01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:09,320
Speaker 1: we thought in the preseason. You just had to clean

1513
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:12,280
Speaker 1: one more week, didn't you. You made fools of yourselves.

1514
01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:15,400
Speaker 1: It's not Texas's fault. Texas is just being who they've

1515
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:18,519
Speaker 1: been the whole year. I wouldn't say Penn State's been

1516
01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 1: what they were yesterday the whole year, but they had

1517
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:25,599
Speaker 1: been a top ten team. You got exposed a lot

1518
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:29,840
Speaker 1: of you exposed yourselves here Michigan at fifteen, Okay, Missouri's

1519
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:33,840
Speaker 1: at fourteen. Why are they that low? Why are all

1520
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 1: these one loss SEC teams above Missouri? Is it because

1521
01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:41,400
Speaker 1: a body of work? Because you're all the same fools

1522
01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 1: that had Penn State in Texas top ten with no

1523
01:21:44,280 --> 01:21:47,120
Speaker 1: quality wins last week? Right, So don't tell me body

1524
01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:50,840
Speaker 1: of work. Just say the word hypocrisy. Just say it,

1525
01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:54,599
Speaker 1: Just say fraudulent, just say it. Everyone knows it is.

1526
01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:58,320
Speaker 1: Everyone knows your ballad is anyway. So Missouri's down there now,

1527
01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:00,720
Speaker 1: of course, they get their shot this week. I'm not

1528
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:03,000
Speaker 1: upset that they don't have a shot to move up.

1529
01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm upset that the default position is Missouri has to

1530
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:09,120
Speaker 1: prove it, whereas Texas and Penn State had continued to

1531
01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:12,639
Speaker 1: prove they didn't belong, but had to both suffer second

1532
01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 1: losses before they got dropped beneath where Missouri is now.

1533
01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:21,400
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech's thirteenth Tennessee twelve LSU eleven. That pack of

1534
01:22:21,479 --> 01:22:26,320
Speaker 1: one loss SEC teams ahead of Georgia Tech ahead of Missouri.

1535
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:31,760
Speaker 1: Just amazing, just amazing. Sound like, canel Georgia's tenth tell

1536
01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:35,200
Speaker 1: me something here? Texas Tech is ninth in Bama's eighth.

1537
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:39,519
Speaker 1: Why is Alabama ahead of Texas Tech. Well, they've got

1538
01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:44,719
Speaker 1: better wins, Yeah, they do. Again, you've negated the entire

1539
01:22:45,040 --> 01:22:47,400
Speaker 1: ability to talk about body of work and quality of

1540
01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:49,479
Speaker 1: wins because of where you had Texas and Penn State

1541
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:53,639
Speaker 1: until this week. But Texas Tech's beating everyone they've played

1542
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:57,360
Speaker 1: by twenty four or more. They went into Utah and

1543
01:22:57,400 --> 01:23:02,280
Speaker 1: destroyed them. Houston was undefeated coming into yesterday. They destroyed them,

1544
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:06,680
Speaker 1: They suffocated them. Texas Tech sitting there nine huh and

1545
01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:09,360
Speaker 1: Bama with a loss is above them at eight. It's

1546
01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:12,560
Speaker 1: just fascinating. Indiana is at seven. Okay, they're going to

1547
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:15,519
Speaker 1: play Oregon this week, seven versus three according to the AP.

1548
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:18,920
Speaker 1: We'll see what the commissioner's poll says Thursday. Oh you

1549
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 1: is at six. A lot of people have been bent

1550
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:24,240
Speaker 1: out of shape because John Mattear's out and they thought

1551
01:23:24,280 --> 01:23:30,240
Speaker 1: the AP should drop Oklahoma because of their quarterback being hurt.

1552
01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:34,120
Speaker 1: The AP pole is not a projection. It's not supposed

1553
01:23:34,120 --> 01:23:37,240
Speaker 1: to be. The APE pole is not what you think

1554
01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:39,439
Speaker 1: teams will end up doing. It's not supposed to be.

1555
01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:43,120
Speaker 1: It is strictly you being judged based off your resume

1556
01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:45,879
Speaker 1: to this point, Is it not? Or did I misread

1557
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:51,400
Speaker 1: the criteria? It doesn't matter if John Mattier quit football. Okay,

1558
01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:54,759
Speaker 1: if he did, Oklahoma will probably go on to lose games,

1559
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:58,320
Speaker 1: and then their rankings should reflect that accordingly, it shouldn't

1560
01:23:58,400 --> 01:24:01,840
Speaker 1: preemptively reflect it. And by the way, he hasn't quit.

1561
01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:04,839
Speaker 1: No need to freak out. Just got a little issue

1562
01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:07,639
Speaker 1: if you don't believe me, as Surgeon's been very very

1563
01:24:07,720 --> 01:24:10,320
Speaker 1: present on message boards talking about it. But oh you

1564
01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:12,560
Speaker 1: was right where they should be A and m's a

1565
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:16,280
Speaker 1: top five team, ole Miss top five team. How about

1566
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:19,120
Speaker 1: us getting a week seven and me telling you in August.

1567
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:22,320
Speaker 1: By week seven there will be two SEC teams in

1568
01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:25,800
Speaker 1: the top five. Okay, Texas and Georgia. Okage, No no, no, no, no,

1569
01:24:25,800 --> 01:24:29,680
Speaker 1: No one of them's from Texas. In fact, there are

1570
01:24:29,720 --> 01:24:32,519
Speaker 1: two teams in the top ten from Texas. Neither of

1571
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:35,600
Speaker 1: them have that longhorn logo. No, it's going to be

1572
01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:40,360
Speaker 1: ole Miss the highest ranked SEC team, and Texas A

1573
01:24:40,439 --> 01:24:43,040
Speaker 1: and M. I told you it's going to be a

1574
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 1: bloodbath in the SEC this year. Oregon's number three, Miami's

1575
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:57,320
Speaker 1: number two, Ohio State is number one. What was that, Jesse? Oh? Well,

1576
01:24:57,439 --> 01:25:07,040
Speaker 1: So Vanderbilt is a situation, little AP situation. I ask you,

1577
01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:09,519
Speaker 1: do you think they're right at twenty? Do you think

1578
01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:13,479
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt is properly ranked? I don't. I mean I'm asking

1579
01:25:13,560 --> 01:25:16,920
Speaker 1: because like sometimes I say stuff about the AP and

1580
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:19,080
Speaker 1: then a lot of people say, oh no, no, no, no, no, no,

1581
01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:22,880
Speaker 1: they're right, they're right. I don't know that about Vandy.

1582
01:25:23,080 --> 01:25:26,479
Speaker 1: So Vandy kind of the same way as Missouri, kind

1583
01:25:26,479 --> 01:25:31,120
Speaker 1: of the same way as Georgia Tech. It's that stench

1584
01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:35,759
Speaker 1: that someone's where they shouldn't be, Like Vanderbilt was always

1585
01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:39,400
Speaker 1: where they shouldn't be in the AP's eyes. Vanderbilt was

1586
01:25:39,439 --> 01:25:44,040
Speaker 1: always kind of trespassing where the big boys are supposed

1587
01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:46,200
Speaker 1: to be. Vandy's not supposed to be. Vandy is who

1588
01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:48,320
Speaker 1: the big boys beat to prop up their resume, And

1589
01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:51,880
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt kept having this audacity to win, and so the

1590
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:56,880
Speaker 1: AP reluctantly, you know, just like included them. Then as

1591
01:25:56,880 --> 01:25:59,840
Speaker 1: soon as they lose to a team that you're telling

1592
01:25:59,840 --> 01:26:02,639
Speaker 1: me the number eight team in the country in their building,

1593
01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:07,120
Speaker 1: they're down at twenty. And what's funny is Vandy with

1594
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:11,559
Speaker 1: a loss, is down here at twenty, but with quality wins.

1595
01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:14,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Vandy went on the road and smoked Virginia Tech.

1596
01:26:14,360 --> 01:26:17,920
Speaker 1: Vandy went on the road and handled South Carolina handed lee.

1597
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:22,840
Speaker 1: It's redundant. And my question is, all right, Vandy does that,

1598
01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:25,479
Speaker 1: But then once they lose, they get dropped. Do you

1599
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:27,400
Speaker 1: remember again, I keep going to the same two teams

1600
01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:30,759
Speaker 1: because it shows the hypocrisy. Do you remember penn Stateton,

1601
01:26:30,800 --> 01:26:33,760
Speaker 1: Texas sitting there last week and sitting there with no

1602
01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:36,960
Speaker 1: quality wins and the only good teams they had played

1603
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:41,720
Speaker 1: they lost to, kind of like Vandy but Vandy's got

1604
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:45,240
Speaker 1: way better wins even now than those two had last week.

1605
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:47,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what, you know, Vandy's got that

1606
01:26:47,320 --> 01:26:49,719
Speaker 1: v logo. Man, if you want to go old school,

1607
01:26:49,840 --> 01:26:52,040
Speaker 1: they got that star in their logo, and so we

1608
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:55,479
Speaker 1: got to drop them. And thank goodness, man took long enough.

1609
01:26:56,040 --> 01:26:59,680
Speaker 1: I imagine smiles on half of the ballots as they're being

1610
01:26:59,680 --> 01:27:03,759
Speaker 1: filled out. But did this is Brett McMurphy tweet, because

1611
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:06,960
Speaker 1: this kind of encapsulates how insane this has been so far.

1612
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:12,960
Speaker 1: Preseason AP top ten rankings. Texas was number one. They

1613
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:16,320
Speaker 1: are not ranked. Penn State was number two, They are

1614
01:27:16,360 --> 01:27:20,640
Speaker 1: not ranked. Clemson was number four, They are not ranked.

1615
01:27:21,439 --> 01:27:24,840
Speaker 1: Three of the top five in the preseason. In fact,

1616
01:27:24,920 --> 01:27:28,120
Speaker 1: three of the top four in the preseason AP ballot

1617
01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:32,200
Speaker 1: no longer ranked. Now the haters, and I am not

1618
01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:37,040
Speaker 1: a defender of the AP, haters of preseason polls, will

1619
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:40,400
Speaker 1: take this as ammunition and they'll say, see, that's why

1620
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 1: we shouldn't have preseason rankings. No, I don't see. I

1621
01:27:45,400 --> 01:27:48,599
Speaker 1: see the AP's been really stubborn in taking so long

1622
01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:52,280
Speaker 1: to drop teams down when they proved to be overrated.

1623
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:54,960
Speaker 1: Then no, I don't see any reason not to have

1624
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:59,160
Speaker 1: preseason rankings. Preseason rankings are very fun. Preseason rankings are

1625
01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:02,000
Speaker 1: how you pass the time. Preseason rankings when you're at

1626
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:05,840
Speaker 1: your family reunion and Aunt Gretchen is talking about stuff

1627
01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:08,479
Speaker 1: you have no interest in. That's when you go down

1628
01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:11,240
Speaker 1: to the dock with Uncle Jimmy and you talk about

1629
01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:13,439
Speaker 1: preseason rankings to pass the time until it's time to

1630
01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:16,639
Speaker 1: go home. Preseason rankings are a great thing, as long

1631
01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:20,439
Speaker 1: as you're not married to them. Preseason rankings should be

1632
01:28:20,439 --> 01:28:25,160
Speaker 1: written in light pencil. Then when the season starts, we

1633
01:28:25,200 --> 01:28:29,040
Speaker 1: realize one game is worth more than six months of

1634
01:28:29,080 --> 01:28:33,599
Speaker 1: me talking. The crime the AP commits is they really

1635
01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:36,719
Speaker 1: believe what they thought in July carries a ton of weight.

1636
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:40,080
Speaker 1: I don't even think that. And I've forgotten more about

1637
01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:41,720
Speaker 1: this stuff than a lot of you know, so I

1638
01:28:41,760 --> 01:28:44,040
Speaker 1: know good and well. You shouldn't be thinking that. That

1639
01:28:44,160 --> 01:28:47,200
Speaker 1: sounded a little douchey. I take that back, like a

1640
01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:50,800
Speaker 1: quarter of you, not half of you. No, I don't

1641
01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:52,439
Speaker 1: see that. I don't see it that way. I like

1642
01:28:52,479 --> 01:28:55,080
Speaker 1: preseason rankings, I just don't like when people won't come

1643
01:28:55,120 --> 01:28:59,679
Speaker 1: off of them right now. Odds that you can actually bet,

1644
01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:01,800
Speaker 1: you know, kind of rankings in a way that you

1645
01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:05,200
Speaker 1: can actually better over at FanDuel. FanDuel hated to see

1646
01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:08,040
Speaker 1: us coming and love to watch us leaving. Yesterday we

1647
01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:10,519
Speaker 1: clean them out. I head up FanDuel, I said, go

1648
01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:13,480
Speaker 1: talk to the rest of your money in your vault

1649
01:29:13,720 --> 01:29:16,200
Speaker 1: and tell it we will be together soon. Because that's

1650
01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:18,519
Speaker 1: how confident and I felt. After we went like five

1651
01:29:18,600 --> 01:29:19,920
Speaker 1: or six and o to start the day. I think

1652
01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:22,320
Speaker 1: we went nine and three yesterday or eight and three,

1653
01:29:23,479 --> 01:29:26,960
Speaker 1: and that's with Bama just screwing us with the back

1654
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:31,960
Speaker 1: door cover. But I digress because West Virginia, you know,

1655
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:33,720
Speaker 1: they kind of balanced that out earlier in the week.

1656
01:29:33,760 --> 01:29:36,800
Speaker 1: But FanDuel the exclusive odds provider of the show. You

1657
01:29:36,800 --> 01:29:38,800
Speaker 1: can go over there right now. New sign ups are

1658
01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:41,400
Speaker 1: finding this out every week you go there. FanDuel dot

1659
01:29:41,439 --> 01:29:45,200
Speaker 1: Com forward slash Josh Pate bet five dollars on anything.

1660
01:29:45,600 --> 01:29:47,479
Speaker 1: I would say that it's a sure thing, but it's
