1
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: And welcome in Late Kick is Live. It is Thursday night.

2
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 2: It is August twentieth, the year of our Lord twenty twenty.

3
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 2: Sorry at this point, those of you who love the parents'

4
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 2: living room set.

5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 1: Up the other night.

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 2: We are back here in good old Nashville, Tennessee, or

7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: just south of there. We have got probably the most

8
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: loaded show that we have had since I have been

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: at twenty four to seven. And here's the added good news.

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 2: It's pretty much all college football now. There is still

11
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: the virus out there, and there is still postponement news.

12
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: But here's the thing.

13
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 2: People have opened camps and when they are actually practicing,

14
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: and we're actually building towards the season, and schedules have

15
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: actually been released.

16
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: You can go elsewhere if you want to read about

17
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: the drama here.

18
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 2: Well, we may have a little drama at the end

19
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: of the show, but we are talking a lot of

20
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: college football tonight. And as I have looked forward to

21
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: since I came here, we are going to very effectively

22
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: leverage the best by ten miles network of team insiders

23
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 2: in America when it comes to college football and get

24
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 2: you more whispers and intel than you would get anywhere else.

25
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: And we're gonna start doing that this very evening. Subscribe

26
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: to this YouTube channel if you haven't already. We have

27
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: a lot of plans, and we have a lot of

28
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: content that currently you would describe as in the oven.

29
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: It'll be a lot of season preview content, a lot

30
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: of strength of schedule content, a lot of prediction content.

31
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: And because these shows we try and keep under forty

32
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: five minutes long, I can't put it all in the show.

33
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: So what I'm telling you is.

34
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: There's going to be a lot of stuff coming down

35
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: the pike on this YouTube channel that you don't see

36
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: in the show. And that's not just for me, that's

37
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 2: from other people too, So subscribe if you haven't already,

38
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: to the twenty four to seven Sports YouTube channel. And

39
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: one more little piece of housekeeping before we get into

40
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: the show. Right now, on our podcast, it's doing great

41
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: numbers and I really appreciate it. We are sitting between

42
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: four and five hundred five star reviews on Apple Podcast.

43
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: I've teased for about a month now the fact that

44
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: we're eventually taking this Latekick live to three nights a week,

45
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: and I decided why not let you determine when that happens,

46
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: And so as you can see in the comments below

47
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 2: if you're watching on the YouTube channel, and if you're

48
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: listening on podcast, you don't even need to look at

49
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: the link that I posted. When we get to five

50
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: hundred five star reviews for the Late Kick podcast, we're

51
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 2: taking this to three.

52
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: Nights a week.

53
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: We'll have a Sunday night show, a Tuesday night show,

54
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 2: and a Thursday night show. And if that's not enough,

55
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: we will also be adding a second Late Kick Extra

56
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: podcast per week, which is the Mailbag strictly Q and

57
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: a format that we do and it's for podcasts only.

58
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: So basically, I can't incentivize any more than I already have.

59
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: Subscribe to the twenty four seven sport YouTube channel, subscribe

60
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 2: to the Late Kick podcast and give.

61
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: Us five star reviews.

62
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: And if you don't own an iPhone, go find a friend,

63
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: no doubt that owns one or five and give us

64
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: five star reviews, and we will very quickly up the

65
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: amount of content. It'll be like a conveyor belt and

66
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 2: every single day you'll have something to listen to.

67
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: Imagine that, So let's get right into this.

68
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: What we will do, probably from now until the time

69
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: the season starts is will lead almost every show with

70
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: the latest whispers and intel that we've heard from camps.

71
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: Some of it is public. Some of it you may

72
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 2: have read, and I'm just going to dive deeper into it.

73
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: Some of it you may not have read. Some of

74
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 2: it may be you know this earpiece that I'm wearing

75
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: right now, It may just be that you know Tim

76
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 2: Watts has whispered something in our ear from Bama Online,

77
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: or Rusty Menzel's whispered something from Ote their Dogs twenty

78
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 2: four to seven. And we just need to pass it

79
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: right along to you. So let's get started. No order here.

80
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: We're just going to kind of span the nation of

81
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: the schools that are actually practicing right now. A lot

82
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: of you have asked, and I intentionally didn't answer it

83
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: last week because I wanted to push it here. A

84
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: lot of you are asking about Bryce Young understandably so,

85
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: that is the number one player in America in the

86
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: last recruiting cycle per the twenty four to seven Sports

87
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: Player Rankings, and he is a quarterback now for the

88
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: University of Alabama.

89
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: He's a true freshman.

90
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: Now, the question initially was he's going to come in

91
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: he's an early Enruly, he's going to have all of

92
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: spring practice. Could he actually unseat Mac Jones? Of course,

93
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: we all know how that turned out. We lose spring.

94
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: Nick Saban is a guy who is willing to play

95
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: a true freshman, but it better be very obvious that

96
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: that true freshman is his best option.

97
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: And I definitely.

98
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 2: Don't think, nor did I anyway, but I certainly now

99
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: don't think that you're going to see Bryce Young trot

100
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: out there in the starter on the road against Missouri.

101
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: Here's what I do think.

102
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: Matt Jones colin showing you moving images of him right now.

103
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 2: I think Mac Jones is going to be the starter

104
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: for Alabama, and I think you're going to see a

105
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 2: healthy dose of Bryce Young. Now, I already thought that

106
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 2: the intel that we've gotten from Alabama backs that up.

107
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: With no spring here's the question you're going to be

108
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: asking yourself about Mac Jones, and you're going to be

109
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: asking this about a lot of guys that are true freshmen.

110
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 2: You always have that light bulb moment. Anybody who follows

111
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: college football, especially at the higher level where you have

112
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: the four and five star talent coming in that could

113
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,559
Speaker 2: contribute as true freshman, you have that light bulb moment.

114
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: They're early in roll leees. They go through spring and

115
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 2: then you hope to hear it during fall camp the

116
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: light bulbs come on. They're gonna be able to start

117
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 2: as true freshman. Sometimes it takes until week two or

118
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 2: week three or week four.

119
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes it doesn't happen at all.

120
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 2: But with the way the calendar has changed on us

121
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 2: this year, when do the light bulbs click on, It'll

122
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: vary to a wide degree based on player. But that's

123
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: what I'll watch and will continue to watch and listen

124
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: for with Bryce Young. Steve Sarkisian wants him on the

125
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 2: field and wants him on the field bad. And he

126
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 2: met with the media his one appearance with the media

127
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 2: per year the other day, and he made no bones

128
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 2: about that they're going to play him. They're not starting him,

129
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 2: They're going to play him a lot this year. So

130
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: the light bulb moment there. You also take this into account.

131
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: They may have the best offensive line in the country.

132
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 2: They are going to be insanely good will the Alabama

133
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 2: Crimsonide on the offensive line, and they got a really

134
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 2: good stable of running backs and so they can realistically

135
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 2: play any style of.

136
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: Football they want to this year.

137
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 2: Whatever they want to do, they can do so, it's

138
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: not necessary, in other words, to have a guy go

139
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: to a tongue of iloa on you every single game.

140
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: As for the Miami Hurricanes, let's shift our attention down

141
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: to Coral Gables, Florida. Now this is one that I

142
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 2: had to do some digging on a little bit. The

143
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 2: Hurricanes are a little bit further along in their fall

144
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: camp and their practice, and I always erroneously sort of

145
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: intertwined the two. And camp is different than practice, and

146
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 2: I know that, but sometimes you'll hear me say camp,

147
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 2: you know, I mean practice.

148
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: They had their first scrimmage.

149
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 2: Miami had their first scrimmage Sunday, and I think, based

150
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 2: on everything I've heard from down there, I think their

151
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 2: coaching staff was.

152
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: Flat out stunned at how good their offense looked.

153
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,799
Speaker 2: Now we have well chronicled on this show and nationally

154
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 2: it's been well chronicled.

155
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: Offense was a disaster last year.

156
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: They were down near triple digits, down near the one

157
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 2: hundreds in many offensive categories. Well few certainties in an

158
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: uncertain world. I don't think that'll be the case this year.

159
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 2: Rat Lashley comes in as new offensive coorinator. Derek King

160
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: transfers quarterback from Houston, and so you wonder, okay, well, reasonably,

161
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 2: how much improvement can we expect here, cause, like everyone else,

162
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: Miami lost spring, and so here they go. They're busy installing,

163
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 2: they're busy acclimating, they're trying to gel, and Miami's offense

164
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: just hums right up and down the field, according to

165
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: intel from people who were there in the first scrimmage.

166
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: And so you can always tell these head coaches sometimes

167
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 2: the better things have gone in the first scrimmage, the

168
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: more they're critical to the media because they're trying to

169
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 2: temper expectations because you don't want a team thinking they

170
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: just won the ACC after their first scrimmage in camp.

171
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: And that's understandable, and that was the mode Manny Diaz

172
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: was in. If you've listened and or read his comments

173
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 2: after that first scrimmage, he tells you a lot and

174
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: it backs up what we heard, and it backs up

175
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: what are inside the U dot Com team down there

176
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: with the twenty four to seven Miami site heard.

177
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: And so he's in full temper expectation mode.

178
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: And now the added thing that you take away in

179
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 2: everybody that I've heard from Miami said the same thing.

180
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: Everyone expects Dearic King to come in and be a

181
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: true dual threat.

182
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: But you never really really know what you're expecting when

183
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: someone just describes a quarterback as a dual threat. And

184
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 2: a lot of you may not have watched him at Houston.

185
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: Here's what stands out the most and what has stood

186
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: out so far down there. They love him as a passer.

187
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: They love him as a passer. He is a very

188
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: very good passer, to the point where if I tied

189
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: a fifty pounds weight around his foot and he couldn't

190
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: go anywhere, they trust that he could make some things happen,

191
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 2: even if he was a statue back there. Now you

192
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: add in the mobility and if they have the development

193
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 2: that they hope they can have even moderate development, much

194
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 2: less insanely insane development like they think they're getting.

195
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: Offensively, Miami's going to be really good this year.

196
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 2: I know a lot of you kind of scoff at

197
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 2: the notion that you see them knocking on the door

198
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: of some people's preseason top twelve, top ten lists. I

199
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: don't scoff at that someone's going to do it in

200
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: the ACC outside of Clemson.

201
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: Someone's going to do it.

202
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 2: Be Miami, let's go to the Big twelve, a team

203
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,599
Speaker 2: I'm probably watching as close as anyone. We're going to

204
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: talk about the Big Twelve at length later in this show.

205
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: Texas.

206
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 2: Texas I'm watching very very closely for obvious reasons and

207
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 2: then secondary reasons. They have some really really good depth

208
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: on the interior of their defensive line, probably about as

209
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 2: good as they've had in quite a while. And now

210
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: you know, if you followed the storylines in the offseason,

211
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: I'm trying to keep from rehashing everything you've heard a

212
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 2: million times. New offensive coordinator, new defensive coordinator. But yet

213
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 2: you've got some continuity at quarterback, for example. That's a

214
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 2: theme by the way up and down the Big Twelve

215
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 2: outside of pretty much Oklahoma, it seems. And so what

216
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 2: does Texas look like like? Are they going to be

217
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 2: able to contend? Yeah, They're gonna be able to contend.

218
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 2: That team right there might be my preseason Big Twelve

219
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 2: champion pick if I had to make it tonight, which

220
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: thankfully I don't, because we get to.

221
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 1: Decide when we make our picks.

222
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: I like Texas, and I like them more and more

223
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 2: the more I hear about that depth at positions, maybe

224
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 2: at positions that some of their counterparts in the Big

225
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 2: Twelve are struggling at the one thing if I could

226
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: pick anything that I could see from Texas and start

227
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: to hear from Texas, it would be that they're establishing

228
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: one or ideally a few elite edge rushers the ability

229
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 2: to consistently harass the quarterback. I would love to hear

230
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 2: that out of Texas. But right now, you got continuity

231
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 2: at the quarterback position, had some injury concerns at wide receivers,

232
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 2: So monitor that, monitor development at the outside positions, whether

233
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 2: it be linebacker or defensive end. But that depth that

234
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 2: they have on the interior of the defensive line, it's

235
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: going to go a long way, I think in determining

236
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 2: the Big.

237
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: Twelve race this year.

238
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: Now, if you were watching the news today in the

239
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: world of college football, you probably heard terrible news out

240
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 2: of Columbia South Carolina. Marshawn Lloyd was going to be

241
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: one of the bright spots in the SEC this year.

242
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 2: He was a very, very highly touted running back who

243
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 2: came in true freshman for Carolina was going to be

244
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 2: their best running back as soon as he stepped on campus. Well,

245
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: he tears his ACL yesterday and that was confirmed by

246
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 2: Will mus Champ today. So he's out for the year. Devastating,

247
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 2: just in a vacuum. Devastating. And then if you follow

248
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: South Carolina football, you know this is no new headline. Unfortunately,

249
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: it's just a continuation of bad injury news after bad

250
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 2: injury news after bad injury news. I'm not even gonna

251
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 2: take time tonight to go down the route of is

252
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 2: there a trend here? Is there something wrong with strength

253
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 2: and conditioning? They just made changes in strength and conditioning,

254
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: and even if they didn't, you can't ever tell. I

255
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: was doing radio with Mark Ryan today in the Carolina

256
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 2: is you can never tell injury to injury, which one

257
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: is because of poor form or poor load management, and

258
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 2: which one was just a true freak injury.

259
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: You can never tell that.

260
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: So I don't really play that game, but I will

261
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 2: say this, it is a continuation of what has been

262
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 2: a terribly alarming trend.

263
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: They do not have.

264
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 2: A guy in my estimation that's built to be a

265
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 2: premiere SEC tailback. Hopefully someone up there proves me wrong

266
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 2: and surprises me. I don't look at their roster and

267
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 2: see a guy that just just blinking red light just

268
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 2: jumps off the depth chart to me. And secondly, you

269
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 2: know what kind of fascinates me right now at Carolina

270
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 2: is Mike Bobo's come in, So you got a new

271
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator. And this is no revolutionary concept kind of

272
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 2: hitting the reset button and having everyone compete for a job.

273
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 2: But Ryan Helenski and Colin Hill are splitting first team

274
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 2: reps at quarterback up there right now, And I just

275
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily know if anyone's shocked by it. I

276
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: don't know that Carolina football is, you know, on the

277
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 2: forefront of the national radar where people are paying attention

278
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: to that, the likes of which they would Bryce Young

279
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 2: and Mac Jones, for example. But you know, there's there's

280
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 2: been a lot of talk today. There was a if

281
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: you've not been paying attention, a big acquisition verbally by

282
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 2: South Carolina just before we came on air. Another five

283
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: star quarterback from the state of Georgia leaving the State

284
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 2: of Georgia. This is not a recruiting show at least

285
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 2: tonight though. But for the meantime, he can't play there

286
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: this year. He's still in high school. So who starts

287
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,719
Speaker 2: at quarterback? Who in the world is going to be

288
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 2: their future tailbag, so many questions on that Carolina format,

289
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 2: if you will, for this season, and with the change

290
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: up in schedules. I was talking to some people earlier

291
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: today and the question on the table was about hot

292
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 2: seat talk and who that normally maybe would have been

293
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: on the hot seat will have their name temporarily removed

294
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: from the hot seat because it's a COVID year and

295
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: you can't be firing anyone when football revenues are down. Well,

296
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: obviously Will muss Champ's been at the forefront of that conversation.

297
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: That's no news to anyone. But with the cupcake out

298
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: of conference foes removed and the ability to slowly tune

299
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: up and get ready for the season removed, and they

300
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 2: play off the top of my head, I know they

301
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 2: play Tennessee, LSU, Auburn.

302
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: There's one more big one in there.

303
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: They play four extremely losable game, four games they will

304
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: not be favored in in their first five, and Vanderbilts

305
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 2: in there somewhere too so, and then they play A

306
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 2: and M after their bye week. They could be like

307
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 2: one in five, one and six. I mean that's where case, obviously,

308
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 2: but what happens like someone asked the question this morning

309
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: as I was presenting the argument that I don't really

310
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 2: think a lot of people are gonna get fired this year,

311
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: they said, Okay, that's all well and good, like that

312
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 2: makes sense in August. But you're really gonna sell two

313
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 2: and eight. You're really gonna sell even three and seven.

314
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 2: You're gonna sell that to your donors, to your alumni,

315
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 2: to your team. You're gonna sell that. I don't know,

316
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 2: that's my rebuttal, I don't know. Let's stay in the

317
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 2: SEC and wrap it up here in the East. Actually,

318
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: the Florida offensive line is another point of emphasis again

319
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 2: this year. It seems like it's been this way pretty

320
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 2: much every year so far. But here's the good news.

321
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: The good news is, I guess it's not bad news.

322
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: I can assure you of that. They're a lot more

323
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: veteran and they're a lot more experienced along that offensive line.

324
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 2: Now here's what I've been watching. I've been asking questions

325
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 2: along this line. I think that they are probably very

326
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: underrated at their wide receiver spot this year. And also,

327
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: if you followed the transfer news in the offseason, you

328
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 2: know Damian Pierce is guy that I think if you

329
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 2: open up your preseason magazines, I don't know, because I

330
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: haven't looked at one yet. To be honest with you,

331
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: they're kind of useless with all the opt outs and transfers.

332
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 2: But if you open up your preview magazines, I would

333
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: venture to guess Damian Peis is listed as the starting

334
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 2: running back for Florida. But Lorenzo Lingard transferred in from

335
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: Miami really quick, really good Palente now, but really quick.

336
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: And they got about three wide receivers who you would

337
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: classify as legit speed guys, like Burner type guys. They

338
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 2: got a lot of speed offensively. I know you always

339
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: say that about Florida, but I think they're very underrated

340
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 2: in that department. And it all goes back to will

341
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 2: their offensive line allow them to maximize that unit's potential.

342
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 2: Now here's what's funny, And please let me caveat this

343
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: giant ca What is a caveat, whatever it is, just

344
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 2: apply a seventy two point font caveat to what I'm

345
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 2: about to say. This is not some comparison of Florida

346
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 2: this year in LSU last year. But I do remember

347
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 2: this time last year, I had belief in Joe Burrow.

348
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: I had belief in their wide receiver Corps. Obviously, I

349
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: had belief in the running backs. It was the offensive

350
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 2: line that you were asking the most questions about towards LSU.

351
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: Well, that offensive.

352
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: Line went on to win the Joe Moore Award for

353
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: the best offensive line in America. So if Florida even

354
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 2: gets a fraction of the result that LSU has questioned

355
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 2: offensive line got from the preseason last year, Florida could

356
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: very well win the SEC East.

357
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: So that's where we are on Camp.

358
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 2: Intel, and we'll be doing that continuously here and try

359
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 2: to bring you as much stuff that probably is not

360
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: a headline on national websites as possible up to and

361
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 2: then through the twenty twenty season.

362
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: Let's move on.

363
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: I intentionally didn't touch on LSU there because I'm about

364
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 2: to touch on LSU here. Churn rate is just off

365
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 2: the charts. Churn Now, you've ever been on the side

366
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 2: of a boat and you just watch what the ocean

367
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: does behind the boat when you go through it, Just

368
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 2: the water churns.

369
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: That's LSU's roster right now.

370
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: I was sneaking earlier today because I've been doing segments

371
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 2: about LSU for several months now, talking about how everyone's

372
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: kind of well, not everyone. Some people have been automatic

373
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 2: to write LSU off this year and just expect them to.

374
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: I don't know what exactly I mean. I've heard everything

375
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 2: but from fade to go out of sight to just

376
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 2: come back to the pack. I don't know what people expect,

377
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 2: but very few people expect him to duplicate what they

378
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 2: did last year.

379
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: But there is nothing in this world.

380
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 2: Well, there are few things, maybe, but in the sports world,

381
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 2: there are few things worse than.

382
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: The I told you so guy.

383
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 2: I played high school baseball and little league baseball for

384
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: that matter, with a kid who lived in the neighborhood

385
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 2: next to me. He knows, he knows who he is,

386
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 2: and he would predict a home run every bat. He'd

387
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 2: called his home run every time, and he hit a

388
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 2: few in his career and would come back to the

389
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 2: dugout with the audacity to say called it. Told you well,

390
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 2: you called it every time? Man, what happened to the

391
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 2: other ninety nine percent of your bats? Don't worry about

392
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: those I called this one.

393
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: Well.

394
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 2: There are a lot of people right now who have

395
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: called their shot with LSU and they have called it

396
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 2: essentially the day after the NFL draft, and they said, okay,

397
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 2: all these kids went to the draft LSU.

398
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 1: They're fade man. They're coming back to the pack. Lightning

399
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: in a bottle last year, you've heard all the old cliches.

400
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 2: Lightning in a bottle. They'll be back to normal. No

401
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 2: one could ever replace that much talent. So my question

402
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 2: is what is downfall for anyone predicting LSU's downfall this year?

403
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 2: What qualifies as downfall if they don't win the National Championship?

404
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 2: Was that a downfall if they don't win the SEC West?

405
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: Was that? A downfall is eight and two? A downfall

406
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: is six and four? A downfall? Like what's the threshold?

407
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 2: Everyone's been asking this about COVID, Like what's the threshold here?

408
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 2: When can we play and not play well? I do

409
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 2: want to know what's a downfall for LSU. So the

410
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 2: LSU situation, which we need to hit the reset button

411
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 2: on in light of recent events, is truly unprecedented. I

412
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 2: follow this sport very closely. I don't know when I've

413
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,479
Speaker 2: ever seen this. Let me hit you with some numbers.

414
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 2: Let's go back to National Championship. LSU wins it, the

415
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 2: purple and gold confetti reigns down in New Orleans and

416
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 2: then guys start declaring for the NFL Draft, and it

417
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 2: was an exodus to the NFL draft. Fourteen LSU players

418
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 2: are drafted. Another six go on to be signed onto

419
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 2: NFL rosters. So they lost twenty guys off that team

420
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 2: just to the NFL. Then you lose Joe Brady, and

421
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 2: you lose Dave Randa, and of course Joe Burrow, by

422
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 2: the way, Heisman winning quarterback number one draft, he was

423
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 2: part of that exodus to the draft.

424
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: That's bad enough. Do you know what's happened since then?

425
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 2: Since then, they'd had eleven more guys, whether it be

426
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 2: from opt outs or dismissals or transfer that have exited

427
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 2: stage left right wherever.

428
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: Well start doing the math.

429
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 2: Here this sentence from Shane Dixon on GO twenty four

430
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: to seven today or yesterday when he wrote it, just

431
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 2: slapped me in the face.

432
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: Here's the sentence. Won't take that long quote.

433
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 2: LSU entered fall camp Monday with thirty one players gone

434
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 2: from the twenty nineteen roster.

435
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: That's a new team.

436
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 2: It's not a new program, because program's different than team.

437
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: This is a whole new team.

438
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 2: Now.

439
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: In reality, every year is a.

440
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 2: New team, even if you return every starter but you

441
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 2: understand what I mean. This is quite literally a new team,

442
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 2: incredible thirty one players. You only sign twenty five per

443
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 2: recruiting class, and normally, you know, like if you're Clemson,

444
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 2: for example, most time Clemson can't even get close to

445
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 2: twenty five cause they don't have enough guys leaving to

446
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:31,479
Speaker 2: open up roster spots.

447
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: Unless you just lost thirty one off one team.

448
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: They lost thirty one, and so naturally that's going to

449
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 2: create holes. Because the draft departures were one thing. But now,

450
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 2: I mean, they've lost a couple of defensive ends. You

451
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 2: probably look at it and say, our best bet right

452
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 2: now is to play defensive tackles or at least guys

453
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 2: who should be defensive tackles at defensive end.

454
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: We're bringing in a new defensive coordinator.

455
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 2: Personnel questions, notwithstanding, you got questions. Suffice to say, even

456
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 2: the most diehard of LSU fans would have to admit

457
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 2: to me got.

458
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: Questions on defensive line. We got questions on offensive line.

459
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 2: Pass rush is my single biggest worry with this team

460
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: right now. But I don't think this sinks LSU. LSU

461
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 2: is still going to be incredibly talented this year. If

462
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 2: you were to just a lot of people need to

463
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 2: remove last year and remove the concept of how many

464
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 2: guys they lost. If you didn't know anything, if you

465
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 2: were just brought in onto this planet from outer space

466
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 2: today and you were to just look at LSU's roster,

467
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 2: because magically you would show up knowing everything about football.

468
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 2: If you just looked at LSU's roster right now, you'd

469
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 2: look at them and you'd say, I mean, outside of

470
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 2: a couple of rosters in America, this is still comparable

471
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 2: with what the rest of them have. Like, this team

472
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 2: right here should be able to compete in every single

473
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 2: game they play.

474
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: You'd be right.

475
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: It's just that you do have last year in your memory,

476
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 2: and you do have that thirty one, as the number

477
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 2: stands right now, guys who were on that team that

478
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 2: won't be on this team. And so naturally it's hard

479
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: to calibrate properly. And everyone expects this one swing, you know,

480
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 2: like the carnival ride that goes way up here and

481
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 2: then way up over here. Here's the thing, this doesn't

482
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: sink LSU. LSU is still going to be competitive with

483
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 2: a chance to win every game they play, every game

484
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 2: they play, including against Alabama, including against Auburn. Every game

485
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 2: they play this year, they're gonna have a chance to win.

486
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 2: Here's the difference. Whereas last year you play Florida and

487
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 2: it goes on to be a two score win, a

488
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 2: hard fought battle, but a two score win.

489
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: Every one of them are dog fights this year, every

490
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: one of them.

491
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 2: And instead of you know, going up on Alabama and

492
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 2: then protecting your lead, it may be one of them

493
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 2: up on you a couple of times in the year

494
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 2: and you're trying to fight and claw your way back

495
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 2: in the game.

496
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: You will not.

497
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 2: I don't care what planet you're playing on. I don't

498
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 2: care how many times you simulate it. Everyone knows you're

499
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 2: not having this kind of impact on your roster, and

500
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 2: you just seamlessly transition and oh we're still good.

501
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: But here's what I do believe.

502
00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 2: While this certainly adversely impacts LSU, I am telling you

503
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 2: there will be carryover from last season. Last season, a lot.

504
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: Of the dynamics.

505
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna bore you, I'm not gonna repeat what

506
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 2: we've talked about, but a lot of what was so

507
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 2: exciting for LSU folks was not the twenty nineteen team.

508
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 2: Yes that was great, Yes, that was a memorable season.

509
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 2: But what was so exciting to them was the characteristics

510
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 2: and the telltale signs and all the hallmarks and ear

511
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 2: marks were there of something that had been injected into

512
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 2: their program that was gonna last well beyond twenty nineteen.

513
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: That means they couldn't lose two or three games this year,

514
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 2: But there's a different DNA about their program to where

515
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 2: if they go seven and three this year, very few

516
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 2: of them are gonna say we're back to our old ways.

517
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: Whatever in the world that's supposed to mean. It's all right.

518
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 2: I mean, realistically, this is what we should have expected.

519
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 2: But it's still a new day down here. Like we're

520
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 2: still committed to all the same things that won us

521
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 2: a title last year, and we're recruiting at as good

522
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 2: a level as we have in my lifetime. However old

523
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 2: you may be like, we're gonna be right back in

524
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 2: the mixed next year, and we don't have to worry

525
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 2: every year about where we're going to average over seven

526
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 2: the team points offensively in a game.

527
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: We are committed to what we need to be committed to.

528
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: We're good. So it don't mean they've sunk themselves this year.

529
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: It does mean, they're gonna have a lot of dog fights,

530
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 2: probably not gonna be many people's picks to win a

531
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 2: national championship, but then again, they weren't last year either,

532
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 2: so with all due respect, they've earned the right to

533
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 2: speak for LSU folks. They don't really care what you think.

534
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 2: They didn't last year, they don't this year. It's gonna

535
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 2: be fun to watch though. Speaking of fun to watch,

536
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 2: the best transitions are the unplanned transitions. Got a lot

537
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 2: of people watching. By the way, hey, subscribe to the

538
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 2: YouTube channel if you haven't already. The Big Twelve is

539
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 2: just flat out wide open this year. I know that

540
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 2: maybe if you have been preoccupied, and understandably so, with

541
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 2: a lot of non football related matters over the last

542
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 2: few months, you may just have the automatic defaulting setting

543
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 2: in your head for the Big Twelve of it's Oklahoma's

544
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 2: until someone proves otherwise. And that's fine. I can fully

545
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 2: understand that mentality. But there's the old Big Twelve schedule

546
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 2: Collins showing you if you're watching on the twenty four

547
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 2: to seven Sports YouTube channel here, and boy oh boy,

548
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 2: I'm seeing some lazy predictions out there. Let me tell you,

549
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 2: it's not lazy to predict Oklahoma to win the Big Twelve. Okay,

550
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 2: if anything, that's just using conventional wisdom, But it is

551
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 2: lazy if you're doing it just cause it's Oklahoma. I mean,

552
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 2: no one else out there matches them. I give Oklahoma

553
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 2: every benefit of the doubt. So you're not telling me

554
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 2: anything about Oklahoma. I don't already know, but I think

555
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 2: I may be about to tell you something that if

556
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 2: you haven't been paying attention to college football over the

557
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,719
Speaker 2: last few months, you may not know that suitor team

558
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 2: is vulnerable right now.

559
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: They know they're vulnerable, and while.

560
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 2: They may eventually get some guys back a lot of questions,

561
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 2: may still very well win the Big Twelve.

562
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: May still be a playoff team.

563
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: But if they are that this year, they will have

564
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 2: answered emphatically a lot of questions in a very impressive manner.

565
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 2: So it's my opinion that the Big Twelve is wide

566
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 2: open right now. And it's also my opinion a lot

567
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 2: of them out there know it. Texas knows itc knows it. Baylor,

568
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 2: Iowa State. You know, I have some bias here because

569
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 2: for some reason I adopted at Iowa State as my

570
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 2: program in the Big Twelve. A long time ago, never

571
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 2: been to Iowa. Maybe change that this year. We'll see,

572
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 2: but a lot of them out there know it, so

573
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: let's dive in. I don't need to rehash this for

574
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 2: Sooner fans or maybe for diehard Big twelve fans, but

575
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 2: if you're just playing catch up even you probably know. Okay,

576
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts, he had a storybook year out there, storybook career.

577
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 2: And now Spencer Ratler, that kid who was highly touted

578
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 2: one time, and I think he's a red shirt freshman

579
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 2: or that's probably what you think about Spencer Ratler. You

580
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 2: know the name, and you've seen his name in the

581
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 2: preview magazines. You've seen his face on the front of

582
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 2: the magazines, and okay, well listen, if he's good enough

583
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 2: for Lincoln Riley, he's good enough for me.

584
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: Again, not a bad strategy to have in life.

585
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 2: Spencer Ratler starts at quarterback, think you know what you're

586
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 2: gonna get, don't know what you're gonna get.

587
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: But then you have a lot of questions.

588
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 2: Kennedy Brooks, for example, who was going to be their

589
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 2: starting tailback ops out of the season. And that's after

590
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 2: Trace Sermon because Kennedy Brooks was away transferred to Ohio State,

591
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: where I don't know if you've heard this or not,

592
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 2: they're not going to have college football this year. So

593
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 2: if we were sitting here in January, the two options

594
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 2: for OU at running back that we thought that have

595
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 2: are both gone. I know you guys have a lot

596
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: of promising young talent there. I don't think that they

597
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 2: are chewing their fingernails off at night in Norman, Oklahoma

598
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 2: worried about whether they're going to have a competent tailback

599
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 2: or two or three to put on the field. But

600
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 2: you're not as good at that position as you were

601
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 2: before those departures. I think we can all admit that

602
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 2: we move on. We've had a couple of pass rushers

603
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 2: lost to varying degrees of season for DUI and drug chargers,

604
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 2: had a couple of receivers, whether it be an injury,

605
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 2: I think to Hazelwood had a DUI or a drug

606
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 2: charge with another one up there too. So basically I

607
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 2: don't need to go down all this list, but running

608
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 2: back is at the least a question there. Depth along

609
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 2: the defensive line is a major major question there, and

610
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 2: also you know wide receiver, which you never think about

611
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 2: with Oklahoma you just think that they grow them on trees. Hey,

612
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 2: it's a question out there right now not to mention

613
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 2: quarterback because you just assume you know what you have

614
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 2: at quarterback. So my point is there is not one

615
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 2: team and everyone else out there right now. There are

616
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 2: a lot of teams out there that can win the

617
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 2: Big Twelve this year. Oh you is certainly one of them,

618
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 2: but I think Texas is one of them. I think

619
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 2: Iowa State's one of them. A lot of people really

620
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 2: love TCU as a dark.

621
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: Horse team out there.

622
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 2: Many things seem crazy until they happen, is my point. Like,

623
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 2: if you're picking Iowa State to win the Big Twelve,

624
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 2: you're probably not going to have a lot of company.

625
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: And you're probably going to be called crazy. But yet,

626
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: what do we say.

627
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 2: We don't make fun of predictions on this show because

628
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 2: every year the college football season ends up giving us

629
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 2: a result or multiple results that if we're predicted in

630
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 2: August would have been laughed at. So we know it's

631
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 2: going to happen somewhere this year. It's just will the

632
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 2: Big Twelve be the place where it does happen. I

633
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 2: told you earlier the show, I was looking at Texas

634
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 2: today like Texas may be my favorite to win the

635
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 2: Big Twelve. If I had to pick this today, Texas

636
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 2: may be my favorite. Selfishly, I will root for Iowa State,

637
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 2: as I've already told you, I won't let it get

638
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 2: in the way, but I will root for Iowa State.

639
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: But Texas may be my favorite. But my question is this,

640
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: because I don't think.

641
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 2: There's a ton of separation regardless of who you're picking.

642
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 2: I want to know who's coming from that middle of

643
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 2: the pack. Now, when I say middle of the pack,

644
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: I mean perceptionally, because a team like Oklahoma State, I

645
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 2: think a lot of folks put in the middle of

646
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 2: the pack like the second tier if you will in

647
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 2: the Big Twelve. The reality is they may very well

648
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 2: be a top ten team this year. So perception and

649
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 2: reality two different things. But let's talk perception nationally. Like

650
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 2: if you live in Raleigh, North Carolina, you know Oklahoma

651
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 2: and then you know Texas as the challenger every year,

652
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,959
Speaker 2: but you're not well versed in other Big Twelve matters.

653
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 2: You got Brock Purdy, my guy up at Iowa State

654
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 2: who's returning. You got Charlie Brewer, Baylor new head coach,

655
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 2: But you got a quarterback returning there, You've got Skylar

656
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 2: Thompson returning at Kansas State, and of course Spencer Sanders

657
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 2: we were talking about there with Oklahoma State.

658
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: And you've got a lot of continuity and a.

659
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 2: Lot of experience at the most important position in America,

660
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 2: at the quarterback spot in this conference. And I didn't

661
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 2: even mention Texas for example, so you got it there.

662
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 2: And then also Colin showed you a couple of times

663
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 2: that little grid schedule.

664
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: I prefer helmets on the grid, but a logos work too.

665
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 2: If you'll take a look at the big twelve schedule

666
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 2: this year, either now or in your own leisure time,

667
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 2: it's not going to be a situation for Oklahoma. For example,

668
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 2: in the one tooth on the fifth column from the left,

669
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 2: you notice how they start the season in conference play.

670
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: They don't.

671
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 2: It's not like that Oklahoma State schedule where they get

672
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 2: a couple.

673
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: Of tune ups and then a buye and then they

674
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: ease into it.

675
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 2: Oklahoma has got k State, Iowa State in Texas first

676
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 2: three weeks, they take a bye, and they've played TCU, Texas,

677
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 2: Iowa State in Kansas State all before Halloween. In other words,

678
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 2: it's not a time to have a bunch of guys

679
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 2: missing potentially half a season because of drug or DUI,

680
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 2: offensive or maybe injury. Not the time, not the way

681
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 2: you want it to shake out there. So Oklahoma State,

682
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 2: I think has a schedule in this conference. As much

683
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,479
Speaker 2: as I was talking about Texas there Oklahoma State. If

684
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 2: I were to pick a schedule out of all those,

685
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 2: I take the Oklahoma State schedule. It's well spaced. I

686
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 2: don't have this three game stretch where I'm going through

687
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: any kind of gauntlet. I get to ease into things,

688
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 2: even if I don't need to. I get to ease

689
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 2: into things a little bit. Would you would expect at least. So,

690
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 2: I know we talk a lot about the SEC and

691
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 2: it's anyone's game, and we it's the antithesis of that

692
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 2: in the ACC. But the other of the Big three

693
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 2: this year being the Big twelve, I think there's a

694
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 2: misconception out there it's just Oklahoma's to lose. Well, you

695
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 2: can say that if you want to. I mean, they've

696
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 2: earned the right to have benefit of the doubt. I'm

697
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 2: just telling you it would have surprised me last year

698
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 2: if anyone else came out of that conference.

699
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: It would not surprise me this year. I hope I haven't.

700
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 2: And unclear, I wanted to touch on something because a

701
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 2: lot of you have asked about it, and so I

702
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 2: wanted to at least touch on it. I don't know

703
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 2: what I can add, but I'm gonna touch on it here.

704
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 2: There are a lot of mad people in the Big Ten,

705
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 2: not the least of which reside in the conference office.

706
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: I'm talking about.

707
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 2: You, and there's a growing sense of a total detachment

708
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 2: between your leadership. If you're a Big ten fan, if

709
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,959
Speaker 2: you're a Big Ten parent, there is this total gulf

710
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 2: between you, like the ninety nine percent up there and

711
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 2: then the one percent that kind of apparently live in

712
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 2: this nice administrative, bureaucratic bubble. And these were the same people,

713
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 2: well chronicled, well documented now gave you a schedule six

714
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 2: days later, pulled the rug of the season out from

715
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 2: under you. But do you want to really know how

716
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 2: it's obvious that these people are detached from reality. They

717
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 2: did not expect any pushback from you. It's growing more

718
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 2: and more obvious that Kevin Warren and I'm not one

719
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 2: to keep a bunch of coals into this guy's T shirt.

720
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 2: By the way, because I think there are a lot

721
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 2: of blame to go around to a lot of people

722
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 2: up there, most of whom you don't know the names of.

723
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 2: There are university presidents and some other power players up there,

724
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 2: and it's his job. He gets paid a lot of

725
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 2: money to shoulder to blame. But these people didn't even

726
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 2: think you'd push back. And I don't know you could

727
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 2: ask yourself, how could you ever be that ignorant? I'm

728
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 2: not hearing to answer that, because, like I live in

729
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 2: the real world along with you, these folks don't just

730
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 2: assume they live in the real world. If you've ever

731
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 2: seen that gas station video kind of went viral a

732
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, where you know, you're someone is

733
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 2: taking the time to film this lady who is pulled

734
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 2: into a gas station and she's trying to figure out

735
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 2: which side is my gas pump on, And this is

736
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 2: not a new car, by the way that we're looking at,

737
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 2: and so she pulls up and oh, my goodness, didn't

738
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 2: pull into the right side.

739
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: Pumps over here, tanks over here.

740
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 2: So then she loops it around to where she pulls

741
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 2: back up to a new pump, but she's pulled in in.

742
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: The same direct.

743
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 2: So try number two swinging a miss, and so then

744
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 2: she gets out, she sees the arrow of her ways,

745
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 2: gets back in.

746
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: Use it around again. Try number three, swinging a miss again.

747
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 2: And you're looking at it, and this lady goes back

748
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,720
Speaker 2: and forth and back and forth. It's a full grown adult,

749
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,919
Speaker 2: like she's allowed to vote. She is taking an automobile

750
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,439
Speaker 2: on the open road. She's putting all of our lives

751
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 2: in danger because this lady can't even figure out how

752
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 2: to pump gas. And the point is you're watching it

753
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 2: the whole time, and you're thinking, I don't know what

754
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 2: to say.

755
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: I have no words.

756
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 2: I'm speechless. Even an auctioneer would be speechless watching that.

757
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 2: That's how I felt watching the Big Ten and watching

758
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 2: this complete calamitous cluster fill in the blank that's gone

759
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 2: down up there. And the statement that was finally put

760
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,439
Speaker 2: out by the League office, who knows who wrote that thing,

761
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 2: But the statement that they passed off as Kevin Warren's

762
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 2: statement after eight days of silence was largely laughable.

763
00:34:58,840 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 1: It was totally reaction.

764
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 2: It involved or included no answers to the very simple

765
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 2: question that a lot of you, not the least of

766
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 2: whom being parents have asked up there, which is why

767
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 2: not your lawyer's version of why we want to know

768
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 2: actual tangible reasons why. And Big ten parents are mad

769
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 2: and they have not accepted, to say the least. The

770
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 2: excuse is that the Big Ten has given them. You

771
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 2: had to know this was coming. I'll tell you when

772
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 2: I knew this was coming when they released a statement

773
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 2: they being the Big Ten, when they released that statement

774
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 2: when they were canceling or postponing the season. And not

775
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 2: only did they say we're postponing it, but it is

776
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 2: abundantly clear those two words. That was a reason why

777
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 2: I came on this program and said pay attention. Underline

778
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 2: those two words, italicized them, bold them, abundantly clear. Anything

779
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 2: that's abundantly clear is seen by pretty much everyone with

780
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 2: a rational, competent head on their shoulders. There was nothing

781
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 2: abundantly clear about this. The only thing abundantly clear is

782
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 2: the reasons you were being given for the postponement and

783
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 2: the actual reasons for the postponement were two different things.

784
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 2: And you were being lied to and you're still being

785
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 2: lied to, in my humble opinion, by a lot of

786
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 2: people in.

787
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: The Big Ten.

788
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 2: But it was so abundantly clear that you were given

789
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 2: no data to back it up. Now, rational people soon

790
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 2: came to the conclusion that wait a second. If it's

791
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 2: abundantly clear and it's medically based, then that means you've

792
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 2: got some data that the rest of at the very

793
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 2: least the rest of the sport needs to see, if

794
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 2: not the rest of the world, there's no reason to

795
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 2: keep it cloaked in secrecy. This is not NASA, you

796
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 2: don't work for the government. Why where's the transparency at Well,

797
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 2: the reason is because there wasn't anything that was abundantly clear.

798
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 2: And so then the follow up question is why the

799
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,439
Speaker 2: secrecy If you want to play the game.

800
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: We all know the real reason. They don't have anything

801
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: to give you.

802
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 2: But if we want to go down this road and

803
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 2: we want to play the game and we want to

804
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 2: believe that it really was abundantly clear, and all the

805
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 2: reasons they had past the smell test, why no transparency,

806
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 2: Why no sharing of anything, Why no explanation to the people.

807
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 2: This actually impacts not just fans, but of course players, coaches.

808
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 2: You got folks in the dark, and we don't even

809
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 2: know if there was an actual vote taken up there.

810
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: You got president's chancellors. Maybe there was a vote, maybe

811
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: there wasn't a vote.

812
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 2: I guess I need to remind some people i's been reported.

813
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I've finally seen people talking about this. But

814
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 2: the day after this happened, when I was doing this show,

815
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 2: I said, you know, these aren't private institutions. Aside from Northwestern,

816
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 2: thirteen of the fourteen schools in the Big Ten are

817
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 2: public universities.

818
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 1: You know what that means.

819
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,959
Speaker 2: The folks that are working behind that curtain over there

820
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 2: making these decisions. Guess who pays their salary. You do

821
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,839
Speaker 2: so humbly and respectfully. You got a right feel any

822
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,439
Speaker 2: way you want to about this, and you can scream

823
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 2: as loud as you want to about it. They should

824
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 2: be giving you answers, whether you accept them or not.

825
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 2: They should at least be giving you answers up there.

826
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 2: But the Big Ten parents, you know, the Iowa parents

827
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 2: have pushed back really forcefully today. I know Justin Field's

828
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 2: dad's been outspoken. I think they're planning some action tomorrow

829
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 2: at Big Ten headquarters. More power to you. I'll be

830
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 2: checking it out. I know that can't make it to

831
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 2: Indianapolis tomorrow. I got some things to do, but I'll

832
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 2: be pulling for you. Several questions that I thought were

833
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 2: very reasonable that they asked in their statement that they

834
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 2: released yesterday or today. They got several people in the

835
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 2: medical field. A Michigan doctor, for crying out loud, who has,

836
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 2: if anything, rooting interest on the big ten side of

837
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 2: the fence in this thing, has come out and said

838
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 2: the reasons that they're giving unless they have something more,

839
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 2: and why haven't they released it that they do unless

840
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 2: they have something more.

841
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: What they've given you right now was this thing that

842
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: they expected to be able to hand you with a

843
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: bunch of long medical terminology and seven syllable words, and

844
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 1: they just expected you to say, Okay, I guess that's

845
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 1: true and then move on.

846
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 2: But the problem is there are a lot of folks

847
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 2: out there who actually have degrees in that medical field,

848
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 2: just like you do, and they've pushed back pretty fearsfully

849
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 2: on this and said this doesn't stand up at all.

850
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 2: I had one reach out to me, one with those

851
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 2: those three letters next to his name, the P and

852
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 2: the H and the D next to his name, and

853
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 2: he said, Hey, I don't know if you're interested in

854
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 2: this or not, but this whole myo carditis. I think

855
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 2: that's what it's called. I'm not the expert, but he is.

856
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 2: This whole deal they're trying to pass off to you

857
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 2: is some new revelation they've discovered up there. Here's research

858
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 2: that I was doing on it twenty years ago.

859
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: This is no new revelation.

860
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,280
Speaker 2: And if that's really what they're standing on, it's clear

861
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 2: that's not a decision that was made for medical purposes.

862
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 2: It was a decision that was made by lawyers with

863
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 2: maybe a doctor sitting in the back of the room

864
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 2: to rubber stamp something. So lawsuits I think are coming,

865
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 2: is what I'm telling you there. It's going to be

866
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:47,919
Speaker 2: a big mess. I don't think the heat's being turned

867
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 2: down anytime soon in the big ten. But I saw

868
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 2: someone today say, well, I think this is false. But

869
00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:00,399
Speaker 2: one of the tenets of crisis management, when you find

870
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 2: yourself in hot water, some people in the crisis management

871
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 2: world will tell you just sit still and take it

872
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 2: because they only chase as long as you run. And

873
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 2: if you don't run and you just lay there, no

874
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 2: one wants to beat a dead horse for a long time.

875
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 2: That is normally sound advice that is not going to work. Here,

876
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 2: they view you as running. You're sitting still, no doubt.

877
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you were in silence for eight days. You

878
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 2: could have been in the Caribbean on vacation for all

879
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 2: I know. But you're running as long as you haven't

880
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 2: given them the information that's pretty reasonable that they're asking for.

881
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 2: And you're not going to get a publicized vote count

882
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 2: on this.

883
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: You're not going to get that.

884
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 2: I tweeted it out yesterday. You're not going to get

885
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 2: that unless someone leaks the information. As much as you

886
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 2: should get it, you're not going to get it. But

887
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 2: I heard someone say that today, and then I heard

888
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 2: someone say, I mean, why take any further action?

889
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 1: It can't get any worse. You know, you're dealing with

890
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: the worst of the storm right now.

891
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 2: If you're the Big ten, just weather it and then

892
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 2: move on and eventually you'll be okay.

893
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: Really, you may be. You may be.

894
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 2: If those three other conferences have to cancel their seasons,

895
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 2: then you'll be okay. Then you'll be able to look

896
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 2: them back in the eye, cross your arms and say.

897
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: Looks like we knew what we were doing all along,

898
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: doesn't it.

899
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 2: However, as I have said from the outset, if you

900
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 2: don't move in lockstep. If all these power fives don't

901
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 2: cancel simultaneously, and a couple of them go out, and

902
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:24,959
Speaker 2: two or three of them stay at it, and those

903
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,280
Speaker 2: two or three that stay at it get their seasons

904
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 2: off the ground, and they're able to carry them through

905
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 2: to the conclusion. You have not seen anything yet the

906
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,879
Speaker 2: likes of which you will see in the Big Ten,

907
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 2: from parents, from players, from coaches, from assistants on down

908
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 2: the line. If the SEC is playing football in Week six,

909
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 2: if the ACC in Week seven, Big twelve, Week eight,

910
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 2: if they're playing football they're marching towards a conference championship

911
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 2: Saturday in December, they will burn it to the ground

912
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 2: into Big ten, and you'll see wholesale changes up there.

913
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 2: And I think a lot of people, I've got some

914
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 2: split responses on them, but I think a lot of

915
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 2: Big ten fans, even some of whom despise the SEC,

916
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 2: I think they're pulling for the conferences that are still

917
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,439
Speaker 2: in the game to get their seasons off the ground.

918
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 2: Because while it may be a negative short term for

919
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 2: you competing against those conferences and recruiting and whatnot, a

920
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 2: lot of you rightfully are looking at the situation, saying

921
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:22,800
Speaker 2: that's probably what it's going to take to hit the

922
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 2: dump button on a lot of folks.

923
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: That don't belong in leadership positions up here.

924
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 2: And if that's the case, I'll hold my nose and

925
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 2: I'll scream war Eagle or go sooner as all I

926
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 2: need to Boomer sooner, my bad, I'll scream it all

927
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 2: I need to this year, if that's what it takes.

928
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 2: And I've since that as a growing sentiment in the

929
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,320
Speaker 2: Big ten. So that's where I am right now. I

930
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 2: don't know where you are. I've seen a lot of

931
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 2: your comments. Remember, by the way, as I told you before,

932
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:47,719
