1
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 1: You ever think about how much stuff gets hyped up

2
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: in society and life and it fails to meet your expectations.

3
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: It disappoints you fantastically. It could be a movie, It

4
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: could be your sister. I don't know. Stuff disappoints you

5
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: all the time. Not college football, not yesterday. We're jam packed.

6
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: We're hi atop a fantastic downtown Nashville, Tennessee. It is

7
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: Sunday night, September twenty eighth, the year more Lord, twenty

8
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: twenty five. We were at USC Illinois yesterday. We were

9
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: at Alabama Georgia last night. Two classics amongst many classics.

10
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: I've got game reactions. I've got a lot to talk about.

11
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: Sam Pittman has lost his job today, so we've got

12
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 1: a coaching search underway. Hoops doesn't have one underway. They

13
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: got to hire a new coach. And Bobby Patrino's hat

14
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: is in the ring current by the way as of tonight.

15
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: As a seven pm Central Time on this Sunday night,

16
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: September twenty eighth, Bobby Patrino is the interim head coach

17
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: of the Arkansas razorbacks room room. The AP poll is

18
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: another disaster this week, which is an evergreen statement on

19
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: this show on Sunday nights. But there's some especial I

20
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: would say egregiousness to this week's poll. We will discuss,

21
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: but not to start the show. It doesn't deserve that

22
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: kind of treatment. Officiating yesterday just flat out robbed wake

23
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: Forest and we are a wake Forest friendly program. So

24
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: I will I don't know, for like the fourth or

25
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: fifth time this year, point out what has to be

26
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: pointed out, and no one else can do it apparently

27
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: because of conference affiliation and media rights deals and all

28
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: this stuff. Well we don't have any so we can

29
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: talk about it all that. Plus I got a tour

30
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: announcement tonight. We got best bets. The ro Manula Spress

31
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: started zero to four yesterday and just fought and clawed

32
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: back to a five hundred day. Now you may think

33
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: five hundred that doesn't win money. That's true, but it

34
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: could have been much worse. So if we can go

35
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: bad week five hundreds, then we know our good week's coming.

36
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: We know we'll blow it up. Then we'll look back

37
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: and say I'm glad, we glad we were able to

38
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: salvage five hundred that week. We got a jam pack

39
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: show jam pack show. I know a lot of people

40
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: are here to listen to specific things tonight. We will

41
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: not fail you. I don't know. Unless Bradley screws it up,

42
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: we'll see they're watching us in Lancaster, PA, Miami, Florida, Leander, Texas,

43
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: and Ringold, Georgia. Follow the Instagram story. It was loaded

44
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: yesterday at Josh Pat CFB. We were all over the place.

45
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: Man almost didn't get home last night, which is a

46
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: story that I'll tell for another day. I'll save it

47
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: for another day. Alabama twenty four, Georgia twenty one. Man,

48
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: oh man, I wish, just wish you guys could have

49
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: been there. A lot of you were, many more of

50
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: you watched at home. Haven't seen the TV rating. I

51
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: assume like a trillion people watched this brought to you

52
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: by quick Trip. We got down their courtesy of Quick Trip.

53
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm giving this game four and a half chali on

54
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: the one to five scale. That was the number one

55
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: topic of conversation walking off the field last night. There

56
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: were players, coaches, staffers, stadium workers even who asked how

57
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: many chali will this game get? Look at that scene.

58
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: Who's got it better than us? In the history of

59
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: human civilization. Who has it better than us on a

60
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: college football Saturday in the fall. I don't care if

61
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: you're a Georgia fan or not. I don't care if

62
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: you've ever been to Sandford Stadium. I would highly encourage

63
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: you to take in a Saturday night high level SEC

64
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: game at Sandford Stadium. Those people have done big things

65
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: with their in game presentation. By the way, just before

66
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: I get to the game itself, because I was mildly

67
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: to moderately critical of Georgia game day operations for a while,

68
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: not anymore. I've said this for a few years now. Man,

69
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: they know what they're doing. They just if you don't know,

70
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: and you're maybe in that line of work, go to

71
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: a Georgia game. They really really know what they're doing there.

72
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: And they also found a way to get the rain

73
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: out of there. There was a rainbow over the field

74
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: before the game. Again just fairytale college football stuff. So

75
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: the longest home winning streak in the country is snapped.

76
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: Pre COVID. Pre COVID that was the last time someone

77
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: had come into Sanford Stadium and beaten Georgia, and it

78
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: was William Muschamp of all people, who I'm told was

79
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: at the game last night. So we go into this game,

80
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: we predicted it last week. You'll remember I used the

81
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: phrase competitive character a lot about Alabama. I did it

82
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: after the Florida State game, and I continued to do

83
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: it even as they beat Uel Monroe and they beat Wisconsin,

84
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: because I didn't care about ul Monroe and Wisconsin. Not

85
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: that those games didn't matter, but it wasn't going to

86
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: prove anything was back about Alabama. It wasn't going to

87
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: prove anything was definitively solved about problems Alabama had. The

88
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: Georgia game was going to be that Georgia game happened

89
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: last night. I thought Alabama had a number of matchup

90
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: advantages in this game, but going into it, I picked Georgia.

91
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: I picked them because I thought the road would shake

92
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: Alabama because I've seen it do it several times. I

93
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: thought their offensive line would be a mess last night

94
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: because I've seen it happen before. I thought there'd be

95
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: penalties all over the place because there were, or turnovers,

96
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: because there were in the Oklahoma game, Vandy game, FSU

97
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: game this year. None of it. That's competitive character. I

98
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: don't regret saying anything I said about Alabama. They just

99
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: rectified it. So the first thing I want to tell

100
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: you is Alabama felt a lot different last night. I'm

101
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: around them a fair amount. So there is a reason

102
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: you get paid a whole lot of money. Now. Players

103
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: get paid a lot of money these days as well,

104
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: but coaches get paid a whole lot of money and

105
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: they always have. And this is where it shows up.

106
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: Alabama's just different now. I don't know if they needed

107
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: to taste their own blood. I don't know if they

108
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: needed to have their competitive character called into question. Whatever

109
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: it was, it worked, it worked. They just fundamentally feel different.

110
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: Been around them a while, they feel different. They handled

111
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: last night differently. They showed up in warmups, just felt different.

112
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: Been around them long enough to know felt different. Obviously,

113
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: if you watched the game, it looked different. They had

114
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: one false start the whole night. The place was insane.

115
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: I couldn't hear the people next to me talking to me.

116
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: And they're not only one false start the whole night. Operationally,

117
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: they went in there like they were working in the

118
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: indoor facility. The offense opened with two fourteen play drives,

119
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: up fourteen to nothing. It's the classic here we go again,

120
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: which is eternal now just evergreen for Georgia fans when

121
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: they play Alabama. You don't believe in ghosts, you don't

122
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: believe in goblins, you don't believe any of that stuff,

123
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: but you believe in Alabama. If you're a Georgia fan,

124
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: it's got to be a nightmare because it doesn't even

125
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: matter how good you've looked. When they're across the field

126
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: from you, fifty three and a third yards away, there

127
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: are those Crimson helmets. Here we go again, and it

128
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: happened again last night thirteen of nineteen on third down.

129
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: Let's just talk about this for a second. All the

130
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: stuff that was vintage Alabama under Nick Saban and in

131
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: the early portions of the Kaitlin de Bor tenure as

132
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: well as the latter portions of the Nick Saban tenure,

133
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: had started to wane a little bit. Just Re sledgehammered

134
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: you to the face last night, thirteen of nineteen on

135
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: third down. That is the most third down conversions Georgia

136
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: has allowed in thirty seasons. Home or away, I don't care.

137
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: That's the most they've allowed in thirty seasons. Debor and

138
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: Grubb just put on a clinic and I got to

139
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: tell you, I'm on the field for this game. It

140
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: was a night game, so a lot of staffs you know,

141
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: around the country had already had their games that day.

142
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: Everyone's watching. These are some of the coaching matchups everyone

143
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: in the coaching industry is fascinated by, They're interested in.

144
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: They talk about it all week amongst themselves. I kid

145
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: you not, during the game, I am getting text from

146
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: other coaches random cross the country talking about Ryan Grubb

147
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: just putting Kirby in his staff in a blender, not

148
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: in like a demeaning way or anything like that. I

149
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: just mean not to whiteboard you, because I'm not about

150
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: to do that because I'm not qualified for it, but

151
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: just other coaches watching in real time and pointing out

152
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: little nuances, little intricacies, little things here and there. Look

153
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: at this bunch set, Look at this motion, Watch the check,

154
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: Watch what Kirby's defense does, Look at their sideline. Look

155
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: how crazy this drives them. And it was an all

156
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: night thing. So again, it's just the worst case scenario

157
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: if you're Georgia, because you had to deal with Saban

158
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: for a long time. But the whole SEC had to

159
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: deal with Saban for a long time. So once he's

160
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: out of there. It can't get any worse. And then

161
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: they bring in a guy who has terrorized Dan Lanning,

162
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: who came from your coaching tree and beating them three

163
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: times I think it was. And then he comes in

164
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: and is up twenty eight to nothing on you the

165
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: first time he faces you last year, and then he

166
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: goes immediately into your building and does the same thing again.

167
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: And it's worst case scenario because what was supposed to

168
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: be like a new era post Nick Salmon at Alabama

169
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: is still giving you nightmares. So Alabama goes on the

170
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 1: road and they do that, and they have one false start,

171
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: which I thought was the most impressive part of the

172
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: entire evening. And that's even with ty Simpson's statline that

173
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: we're about to get to. They had fewer penalties than

174
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: their opponent for the first time under Kaylin Deboor. How

175
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: did Alabama look different, Josh, That's one way they look different.

176
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: That's atypical so far for them under him. Now the

177
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: question becomes, what did we see last night? Well, we

178
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: saw Alabama beat Georgia. That's a big deal. Did we

179
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: see a turning of the page? Did we see the

180
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: beginning of a new trend. Well, you look back on

181
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: the Georgia game three and a half years from now

182
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: and say, you know, since the Georgia game, or maybe

183
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: the better way to put it is since the beginning

184
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: of the Alabama Georgia game, Alabama has done this, done that.

185
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: It really felt like that to me. But I don't know,

186
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: because only time can tell. They control that, but only

187
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: time can tell. On that they had a seventy seven

188
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: to fifty three plays run edge. They just tilted the

189
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: game so quickly red zone, I would say, Jesse, I

190
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: would say, along with that third down number being thirteen

191
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: of nineteen, I would say four of four for twenty

192
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: four points in the red zone while Georgia was two

193
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: of three for fourteen points is a pretty big deal.

194
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: They just I cannot in strong enough terms praise Ty

195
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: Simpson on this show for two reasons, the first of

196
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: which is he's hung around there forever. Dante Moore just

197
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: crushed Penn State last night. Well they didn't blow him out,

198
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: but you know what I mean, just shined. And he's

199
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: a transfer guy. That's great. Carson Beck looks really good

200
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: at Miami. That's great. There is a special corner of

201
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: my heart for guys who commit to a school do

202
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: not eventure or do not ediately win the job, and

203
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: then they stick it out and then they get better

204
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: and better and better, and then their numbers called and

205
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: they're probably not going to get four years to start

206
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: or three years to start, but they make the most

207
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: of the time they have. Well, that's ty Simpson. And

208
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: so then his season and really his career as a

209
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: starter begins the way it did at Florida State. It's

210
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: so easy to look back on this. It just rolls

211
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: off the tongue and then what happened, and then what happened.

212
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: But in real time, those days and those hours and

213
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: those minutes, there was no way to speed them up,

214
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: and that had to be torturous for Kaylin to bor.

215
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: But hey, Dobor can be at Alabama an infinite amount

216
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: of years. You don't really get that. As a player,

217
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: you get a small window, and within that window you

218
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: get a few big moments. And ty Simpson's first big moment,

219
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: through no fault of his in my opinion, crashed and burned.

220
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: And so then what'd they do? Well? He played about

221
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: as razor sharp as you could play. It's against Uelmenroe,

222
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: it's against Wisconsin. So we'll see when he goes on

223
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: the road do he Probably, all things considered, play better

224
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: than he played those previous two games against Georgia. And

225
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: there's something to be said about guys who are field generals.

226
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: You know, a stat line's one thing, but you've seen

227
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: teams before where quarterback plays good, but it's not really

228
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: the nucleus of the team. Probably not even looked at

229
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: as a team leader. Normally. When they're good, they are

230
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: in an ideal world they are, but you never know

231
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: that dynamic if you're around Alabama. I think they showed

232
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 1: a lot of really good pregame b roll last night

233
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: that showed you that's a field general. And then his

234
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: play has to back it up. It doesn't matter how

235
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: much you run your mouth if your play doesn't back

236
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 1: it up, because things just go in one ear and out.

237
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: The other guys roll their eyes not when you win,

238
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: not when you put them in a position to win,

239
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: When you put a receiver in position to win, when

240
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: you put offensive linemen in the best position to win,

241
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: When tailbacks know you under center gives them the best

242
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: chance to win, all eyes are locked on you. You

243
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: can talk as long as you want to, and that's

244
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: where ty Simpson finds hisself now. He was sixteen of

245
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: twenty four for one hundred and ninety six yards and

246
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: two touchdowns just in the first half. And to be honest,

247
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: if you told me Friday that was his game line,

248
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have really stood out to me all that much.

249
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: I would have said that sounds about right. That was

250
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: his first half. Those first half touchdown drives to me

251
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: more than the numbers themselves. Watching him operate was amazing

252
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: from field level because I know that they crank those

253
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: mics up on TV. You can never appreciate how loud

254
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: that place was field level unless you were standing on

255
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: the field last night. And I've watched them as a

256
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: just an offensive operation, get really shaken by that for

257
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: several trips on the road now and then there he

258
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: is out there, all the reason in the world to

259
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: be shaken. There they are as a team, all the

260
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: reason in the world to be shaken. And on that

261
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: first drive it was so crazy to watch from field level.

262
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: I swear to you there are multiple plays on that

263
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: fourteen play drive. Choose which one right, There are two

264
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: of them right there. To start the game. I think

265
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: he checked in and I'd of like two different plays

266
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: and that clock's running down ten nine eight. It sounds

267
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: like multiple jet engines on a tarmac at Heartsfield. You

268
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: can't hear anything. And he did everything but yawn. It

269
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: just looks like he's going through repetitions in the summer.

270
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: So calm, so at ease, and ball snapped with two seconds,

271
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: one second to go, firmly in control. Third down conversion,

272
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: third down conversion, third down conversion. A lot of those

273
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: throws are over the middle of the field. A lot

274
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: of them are in traffic. Can't say enough good things

275
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: about him. As many passing first downs as Georgia had

276
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: total first downs. Can't say enough good things about him.

277
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: Just a complete field general. Ryan Willilliams dropped that probable

278
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: touchdown pass early. It's a thing he struggled with a

279
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: little bit more. I'll tell you one thing that got

280
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,239
Speaker 1: overlooked a little bit that I think helps him a lot.

281
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he dropped that ball. He's wide open, he

282
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: has blistered that defense. He's wide open. Just drops it.

283
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: You fast forward to the fourth quarter and they throw

284
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: him a ball up the right sideline and he took

285
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: what is the equivalent of a pretty serious car crash

286
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: worth of a tackle and popped right back up. Ball

287
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: never came out, and it's just moved the sticks first down.

288
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: From a mental standpoint, I look at stuff like that

289
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: and I say, dude, the normal person goes into a

290
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: complete shell. Even if they had Ryan Williams' physical ability

291
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: and they could get open, and they were playing major

292
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: college football in front of millions of people, already knowing

293
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: they're talking a little bit about your inconsistency's catching the ball.

294
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: If you drop that ball, you were done. Mentally, Well,

295
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: he's not normal. Guys in that position aren't normal. And

296
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: to just watch that fourth quarter, you fast forward a

297
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: couple hours, fourth quarter, catch bam. Most people are being

298
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: carted off. Again, these are elite athletes, they're not most people.

299
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: Just pops right back up, move the sticks first down,

300
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: don't even need the sub out. I think that's pretty important.

301
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: Just tuck that play away. I think that's pretty important.

302
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: So the Georgia side of all this, it can't be ignored.

303
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: I never really like getting caught up in this whole

304
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart against Alabama thing, but you can't ignore it.

305
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: He's got an Alabama problem. They got an Alabama problem.

306
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: Part one of the Bama problem was the same one

307
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: everyone had, and that was, man, they got Nick Saban.

308
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: He's gonna have the best roster in the country. And

309
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: even if we recruit heads up with him, we'll never

310
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: out recruit him. So the best we can hope to

311
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: do is compare rosters, maybe match rosters. But then they

312
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: still got Nick Saban. On game day, he'll still have

313
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: a great staff. So that was always hard for I've reasons.

314
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: But Saban retired, you finally got one up on him.

315
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: It took to a National championship game for you to

316
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: do it, but you knocked that big domino down, and

317
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: that's a huge domino. That was part one of the

318
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: Bama problem. Then part two of the Bama problem is

319
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: they bring a guy in that just gives you fits. Schematically,

320
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: just gives you fits. And it's happened now a couple

321
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: of times. And like I said, Debor's done it against

322
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: Dan Lanning. They really had no clue how to handle

323
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: him when he was at Washington and they were at Oregon.

324
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: That's a very similar defensive scheme for obvious reasons. That's

325
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: the tree landing came from. So it looks like that

326
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: Alabama problem is not going anywhere until you do something

327
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: about it. And I'm not really sure what you do

328
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: about it because these aren't blowouts. All of these are

329
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 1: close games, competitive games. You believe a touchdown catch that's

330
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: dropped could be the difference here. Maybe if I had

331
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: it to do over again, I don't go for it.

332
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: On fourth and one. I kicked the field goal, I

333
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: tied the game. Who knows what happens. I'm just saying,

334
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,239
Speaker 1: remember when they won their second national title in a row.

335
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 1: This was twenty three or twenty two, whenever it was.

336
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: I got. I gotten a knock down drag out with

337
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: Georgia fans innocently because I said to a fan who

338
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: asked how many titles I thought Kirby would win, I said,

339
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. This may be it for him, It

340
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: may be two. Most guys never win one, Like, how

341
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: do you know he's gonna just go on to win

342
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: more titles? Which I thought was a fair take. Their

343
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: stance was he's just won his second title in a row,

344
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: and you think to yourself, all right, well, now there's

345
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: just this long runway. We can't even see the end

346
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,479
Speaker 1: of the runway. He's gonna be here for another fifteen

347
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 1: plus years. We're gonna finish top three and recruiting every cycle.

348
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: Saban's got to retire eventually, and sure enough he did.

349
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: What's gonna stop us? The sport will stop you because

350
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: it never stops adjusting to you. That's the price you

351
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: pay for being on top. It never stopped for Saban.

352
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: That was the price he paid for being on top.

353
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: The difference is he never relinquished the top spot. Now

354
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: the game was changing, Saban didn't like the way it looked,

355
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: so he got out because his legacy was secured. Kirby

356
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: Smart's legacy will never be in doubt. The guys won

357
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: two national titles. He has built a total and complete

358
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: monster at Georgia. So if he retired today, he's a legend,

359
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: instant Hall of Famer. But my point then is the

360
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: same as it is now. The sport never stops changing.

361
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: There are consequences that successful people have. There are consequences

362
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: successful programs have that failing programs never even know about.

363
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: They think it's just first world, no problems. You're on

364
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: the yacht. Who would ever cry on the yacht? Well,

365
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: what you find is you find everyone's got to cross

366
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: hairs on you when you're on top. And that's been

367
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: Kirby and Georgia for a long time. And now it's

368
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: pretty obvious watching them in the portal era, in the

369
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: high level NIL era, they don't have the kind of

370
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: players in Miami had. They don't have the kind of

371
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: players a number of these programs have. Both of these

372
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: programs here, by the way, play nil sort of the

373
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: same way. And I understand it because I would play

374
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: it like Kirby does. I would look at it and

375
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: I would say, there is immense value for the next

376
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: forty years of your life if you commit to play

377
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: football at the University of Georgia. You can't make every

378
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: difference maker feel that way. And you watch them defensively,

379
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: they don't have difference makers defensively, and a couple of

380
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: them they brought in, Eloma Doozi has been a non

381
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: factor so far. I don't know why that is because

382
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: I think they felt good about him. I felt really

383
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: good about him. I thought they had hit a home

384
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: run and gotten a kid from Army and that was

385
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: going to be one of the talking points of the season.

386
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 1: It's just not there. They're in the one hundreds in

387
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: pressure rate, statistics, they still don't have a sack on

388
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: the season. I mean people accidentally sack the quarterback over

389
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: the span of multiple four quarter games in their case,

390
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: couple of them against very inferior opponents. So I'm saying

391
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: all that to say his best rosters are behind him.

392
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: You can say that about everybody because the elite teams

393
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: are no longer going to stack talent like they used to,

394
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: which just means you've got to be able to beat

395
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: guys on game day. You got to be able to

396
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: beat other staffs on game day. And my fundamental mild

397
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: concern for them when Dubor got to Alabama, as I

398
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: felt Alabama made a higher keenly aware of the direction

399
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: the sport was had in. By that, I mean they

400
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: understood Bama nor any other team in that league was

401
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: ever going to have that insurmountable a talent edge on

402
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: the rest of the league anymore. NIL was not going

403
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: to allow it. The tops of the trees had been

404
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: shaved off, and you may still have an edge, but

405
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: it will not be this unequivocal edge. So you better

406
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: get a guy who can win games on game day.

407
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: You better get a staff that can beat other staffs.

408
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 1: Ten times out of the year, and Alabama's got one

409
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: and they've put it on display against Georgia. I don't

410
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 1: think I'm saying anything they don't realize there. The difference

411
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: is I can say it consequence free in a microphone.

412
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 1: Kirby can't just snap his fingers in the middle of

413
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: a season and do something about that. I think they will.

414
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: They won't rest until they get it right there. They

415
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 1: may never get it right I don't know, but the

416
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: days of just throwing that Georgia helmet out there and

417
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: understanding that gets us ten and a half wins per

418
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: season is gone. Still the best program in the country.

419
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: To me, I think the University of Georgia is the

420
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: best football program in the country. But that stuff last night,

421
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: that'll keep happening. As long as you can affect the quarterback,

422
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: that'll keep happening. And for all the talk about those

423
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: difference makers, they got it wide receiver. It may be

424
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: that Gunner Stockton's talent profile limits what they can do

425
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: with those additions at receiver. So again, these are problems,

426
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: nitpicking problems that you would never point out with a

427
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: team that perennially goes seven and five or eight and four.

428
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: This is Georgia. They're supposed to compete for a national championship.

429
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: So the one thing to remember is Bama got knocked

430
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: down in week one. So I was talking to someone

431
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: last night and I told them best thing to happen

432
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: to Bama, as it turns out, is losing that game

433
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: in week one. They said, how could that possibly be?

434
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: Who wants to lose a game? No one wants to

435
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: lose a game. But if you're like me and you

436
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: believe no one's going undefeated anymore, then you understand the

437
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: losses have to come somewhere. So if the losses are inevitable,

438
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: then the next question is when are they gonna happen

439
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: and what are you going to learn from them? Alabama's

440
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: loss could not have been put to better use. Alabama

441
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: lost to Florida State, and it looks like it completely

442
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: rewired everything about the team and maybe in some cases

443
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: things about that head coach, and in many cases things

444
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: about the entire organization. Because, man, they walked into that

445
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: building last night and they carried themselves a whole lot

446
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: different than Alabama at any point last year. It seemed

447
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 1: kind of familiar in years gone by, just the way

448
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: they walked into a very hostile building and never blinked.

449
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: In fact, they took the fight to the tenant as

450
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 1: the visitor. So I've seen what it does to Alabama

451
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 1: to lose a game. What's it going to do to

452
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: Georgia to lose a game? Now they taste their own blood.

453
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: They were gonna lose, they weren't gonna go undefeated, so

454
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: they taste it. Now what week four they taste it?

455
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: We're headed into week five, or we headed into week six,

456
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: whatever it is. Point being, I think that's one of

457
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 1: the best staffs in the country at responding because I

458
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: think the program mentally is wired in such a way

459
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: to respond. But it's not because they're magically going to

460
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: discover this vaunted pass rush that they used to have.

461
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: They don't have those players, so they're gonna have to

462
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: find wins on the margins. They're gonna have to do

463
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that it's atypical to say that

464
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: Georgia has to do. But that's college football. Now, that's

465
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: it's watching Bama last night. Look at the way that

466
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: defense plays. They failed to set the edge multiple times.

467
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: I could run for fifteen yards around the corner where

468
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 1: Demani Jackson is there's a lot of stuff that looks incomplete.

469
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: You gash them here, you gash them there, busted coverage

470
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: wide open for a touchdown. You're not suffocating people anymore.

471
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: It's just not happening. So you got to win on

472
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: the margins. That's what you have to do. And you're

473
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: gonna have to get comfortable about three or four times

474
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: a year. You're gonna have a dog fight, fourth quarter, late,

475
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: decided game on your hands, whereas it used to be

476
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: up forty two to ten. And that's just the way

477
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 1: you got to do it. And if you're not comfortable

478
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: with that, you may not be cut out for this.

479
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: And that goes for coaches and that goes for players.

480
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: So I'm excited. I've seen what Bama did with the loss.

481
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what Georgia did with the loss.

482
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, I don't care who wins and loses.

483
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: I care that as many of you as can possibly

484
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: make it happened to go down there and just watch

485
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: a Saturday night game at Georgia. I cannot speak glowingly

486
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: enough about the entire game day operation there. Unbelievable. The

487
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: only thing that didn't go right for them last night

488
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 1: is the outcome because everything else was spot on, so

489
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: full credit. You know they have quick trip signage all

490
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: over that place. I don't know if this is the case.

491
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: I just, off the top of my head think of

492
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: Sanford Stadium is the only place that I see quick

493
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: trip signage in the end zones and on the banners,

494
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: so you can obviously tell I feel very comfortable there,

495
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,239
Speaker 1: and we appreciate quick Trip for fueling us yesterday all

496
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 1: the way from Champagne, Illinois to Athens, Georgia, back home

497
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: to Nashville. When did we get home? Present Like one thirty,

498
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 1: one thirty something like that. Yeah, it was a late night,

499
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: but it was it was worthwhile, and oh you know

500
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: what we have to do. Man, it just dawned on me, Jesse.

501
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: I was about to skip right over this. Since it's

502
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: Sunday night, I have to announce where we're headed this week. Now. Now,

503
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: there was a lot of controversy I've been told about

504
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: where College Game Day announced that they were headed this week.

505
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: College Game Day announced that they're headed to Tuscaloosa for

506
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: Alabama against Vanderbilt, a matchup that I believe should be

507
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: a top ten matchup. Unfortunately, AP voters continue to be

508
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: asleep at the wheel and have no earthly idea that

509
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: Vanderbilts even played games yet. So it's not going to

510
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: be a top twenty matchup or top ten matchup. It'll

511
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: be a top twenty. But I looked at that game,

512
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: and truthfully, it would be easier for us to go

513
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: to Alabama because it's a drive. But it wouldn't be

514
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: right for us to go to Alabama. First off, because

515
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: we saw them twenty four hours ago. Secondly, because when

516
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: I was a youth, when I was a college football

517
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 1: youth and made a small youth. Now this has been

518
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: a while. Miami and Florida State was one of the

519
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: best rivalries in sports, and it hasn't been for a

520
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: long time. And I watched what happened Friday night in Charlottesville, Virginia,

521
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: just like the rest of you did. All the more

522
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: reason for us to take the fall. Don't lie tour

523
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: to Tallahassee, Florida this Saturday night when Miami comes to town.

524
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: I haven't been to a game there in ten years.

525
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: They have completely overhauled that place. They've remodeled it, they've

526
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 1: revamped it. The last big game they played there, they

527
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: beat Alabama convincingly. There will be a lot of folks

528
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: who forget everything they saw yesterday and swear Miami's about

529
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: to go in there and roll. And I don't think

530
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: that's going to be the case, obviously, and that's why

531
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to this game. So we will head to

532
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: Florida State for the first time I think in nine

533
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: or ten years. It was either fifteen or sixteen. Deshaun

534
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: Watson and Clemson went in there beat them thirty five

535
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: thirty one. I remember that and I had a lot

536
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: of fun. Then I got a ticket in Thomasville, Georgia

537
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: that night for going like thirty nine and a thirty five.

538
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: Thomasville is one of the most notorious speed traps in Georgia.

539
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: Fortunately we will not have to drive through there courtesy

540
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: of quick Trip, but we're headed down there. Cannot wait.

541
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: Everyone has to make their own decisions and go to

542
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: the games they feel our best. That is the game

543
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: that I feel is best to go to this week. Okay, man,

544
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, with any of the underrated parts, probably

545
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: the only price you pay, aside from lack of sleep,

546
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: which I don't care about in the fall, going to

547
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: two games in one day. Is the voice suffers cause

548
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: you find that you have to yell to talk, especially

549
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: in that place we were in last night. So I'm

550
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,719
Speaker 1: not complaining. I just want you to feel sorry for

551
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: me a little bit. Uh oh boy, Jesse Earmuff's Oregon

552
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: thirty four pens or excuse me, here you go Bradley

553
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: Oregon thirty Penn State twenty four. This game recap generated

554
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: by flex Power, our friends at flex Power Oregon flexed powerfully.

555
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: I give this game for Chali on the one to

556
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: five scale, double overtime game just offensively, just esthetically, it's

557
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: tough to watch Penn State's offense. I don't know that

558
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: Penn State's gonna be in many more five Chaldai classics

559
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: as long as they're doing what they're doing there. There

560
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: was talk for months. This is a beautiful thing about

561
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: college football. We talk and talk and talk. Fortunately that's allowed,

562
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: or else I wouldn't have a job. But you talk

563
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: about this stuff in January, but then you talk about

564
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: it in March, and you know these things are coming

565
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: months months down the road. I mean you and I like,

566
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: if you're a Penn State fan, Oregon fan, college football fan,

567
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: you probably talked about the Oregon Penn State game a

568
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: thousand times over the course of the spring and summer.

569
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: The beautiful thing is all that talk leads to you

570
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: on the edge of your seat for four hours on

571
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: a Saturday night in late September. Sounds like a country song.

572
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: It's so awesome. I can't over this. Also sounds like

573
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: a country song. I can't overstate how devastating last night

574
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: was for Penn State. We don't talk about the losers

575
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: first on the show, but I just want you to

576
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: know if you tuned in to hear my take on

577
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: Penn State's loss, buddy, you will get my take on

578
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: Penn State's loss. Oregon is just better. The only thing

579
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: I doubted was this early in the season and all

580
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: the dynamics that were against them, could they come across

581
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: the country and win this game. And not only did

582
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: they win it, I know it went to double overtime,

583
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: but man, they controlled this game quarterback. They got the

584
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: better one skill guys, they got the better ones staff,

585
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: they got the better one line of scrimmage. They won.

586
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: And I may have expected to say some of that

587
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: after this game. I never really expected to say all

588
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: of that and there's no added context needed. It's not

589
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: like the box score lies and there's some context. You know, Hey, hey,

590
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: I know Oregon looks like the won this game, but

591
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: here's the way it really happened. There's none of that.

592
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: In fact, i'd say the box score lies the opposite way.

593
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: I didn't even feel like the game was that closed.

594
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: Like there's some numbers Penn State ended up putting up

595
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: and they are still pretty paltry, as Memal would say,

596
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: but I didn't even feel like they had that many

597
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: rushing yards. Like where did Penn State find one hundred

598
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: and thirty nine rushing yards? I don't know. I have

599
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: no idea. They held Penn State to four yards per

600
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: carry in this game, and that was where Penn State

601
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: had to flex. They weren't really gonna flex throwing the ball.

602
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: I didn't even think in a Penn State win they

603
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: were going to truly flex three hundred and twenty five

604
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: some mindy yards through the air anything like that. But man,

605
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: they just suffocated Penn State. It was tough to watch

606
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: if you're a Penn State fan, because you hoped in

607
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,959
Speaker 1: the back of your mind you had held out hope

608
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: we played nobody so far. So yeah, Oregon's coming to town,

609
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: and we respect them, but they got to deal with

610
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: us too. They don't care. They dealt with you and

611
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: they were fine. It's like taking your hand and putting

612
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: it on the head of your much younger brother and

613
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: if you're good with balance, you can afford to take

614
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: a sip of something and he's still over here, just fighting.

615
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: That's what it felt like. It's so discouraging to say

616
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: from a Penn State perspective, but it is so encouraging

617
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: because you know, if you're an organ fan, this is

618
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: the beginning for you. Not only is it, it's not

619
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: quite the beginning of Dan Lanning's run. I'm just talking

620
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: about this team. This team is so inexperienced, they're so new.

621
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: They just got put together. It's not quite like they

622
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: went Texas Tech Mode or anything like that. I don't

623
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: mean that. I just mean Dante More is your new starter,

624
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: and you're supposed to have a dip by the way.

625
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: You lose Dylan Gabriel before that, you lost bo Nix.

626
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: They're supposed to be a dip here somewhere, and it

627
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: feels like they keep increasing the level of quarterback play

628
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: and it's not supposed to happen that way, guys. In

629
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: case you need evidence, look at Penn State. There's no

630
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: guarantee that quarterback play just continues to elevate and elevate.

631
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you the other thing that I took away.

632
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: Lanning took a lot of heat a couple of years ago,

633
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,879
Speaker 1: specifically in the first Washington game they played on the road,

634
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: where he went forward on some fourth downs, and everyone

635
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: was critical of him. Some guys say they don't care

636
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: about outside noise, and they're lying to you. Other guys

637
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: like Dan Lanning say they don't care about outside noise,

638
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: and I promise you he's telling you the truth. He

639
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: didn't care about outside noise. He hears it, he just doesn't

640
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: value it. And the way I know that is because

641
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: after that little ordeal a couple of years ago, when

642
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: everyone drug him over the coals for going forward on

643
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: fourth down, even though every one of the critics had

644
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: the benefit of hindsight on their side, which you don't

645
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 1: get if you're coaching in game. They went for it

646
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 1: on fourth down seven times last night and they got

647
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: five of them. Just a little old young Oregon traveling

648
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: almost to Europe to play basically five and seven on

649
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 1: fourth down. Yeah, that's how you control the game. It's

650
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 1: one way you control the game. This wasn't just one game.

651
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 1: It's time we talk about Penn State for a second

652
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 1: before I get back to Oregon. I am among the

653
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: last to normally criticize James Franklin on the show, not

654
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: because he never deserves criticism, because the criticism is always

655
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: stupid to me, because people can't ever just individually critique compartments.

656
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: They always have to say James Franklin's trash, James Franklin's overrated,

657
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: this and that, and that's always been done, so I

658
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: never really do that. And normally I am perfectly willing

659
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: and able to take a game for what it is

660
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: on this show, and that is one game. This was

661
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: not one game, and every Penn State fan knows it.

662
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: James Franklin knows it, and that entire staff and that

663
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: athletic department knows it. A lot of the future of

664
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: Penn State football, a lot of judgment about the trajectory

665
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: of Penn State football was all predicated on this game.

666
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,760
Speaker 1: The thinking was, of course, we've got a bye week,

667
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: we got home field here. They're pretty new, pretty young,

668
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 1: pretty inexperienced. They got to fly across country, they got

669
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: to come in our building. We're off the buy, they're not. Also,

670
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: we've built towards this team for multiple years. We got

671
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: a third year starter. Now at quarterback, we went and

672
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: got the best defensive coordinator we could find in the

673
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: Big Ten, and you got all that and you just

674
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: kind of get handled at home point being it's the

675
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: same kind of conversation they're having at Clemson, how would

676
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: you ever expect it to get better? Given the current

677
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 1: set of circumstances, coaching staff, the way they go about

678
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: their business, the way the programs run. This is the apex. Okay,

679
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: this collection of talent, this team was the pinnacle. And

680
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: if you're a Penn State fan, you were totally fine

681
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: looking towards this year predicated on the fact that you

682
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: win the Oregon game, and you gotta get that one

683
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: done because the hurdles you have not been able to

684
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: clear is we don't win the big games, we can't

685
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 1: win a national title. Well, you can't win a national

686
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: title in September. You can lose one, you can't win

687
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: win in September. But the first hurdle was all right, well,

688
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: we gotta win the Oregon game, because if we got

689
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 1: all those edges and we can't even win that game,

690
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: there's no way we're going to Columbus in a couple

691
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: of months and win that game. And you didn't even

692
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 1: get it done against Oregon, and I know the score

693
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: looks close. I'm normally the one who says, dude, stop speaking.

694
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: You know, in such terms of totality, the game went

695
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: to overtime, one play here or there, and it could

696
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: have been the difference. It should have been emphatic. This

697
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 1: should have been a moment in time for Penn State football.

698
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: This should have been a moment of arrival for James

699
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: Franklin and his tenure there. It should have been a very,

700
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: very red letter day, and instead it was kind of

701
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: kind of a black Saturday. Season's not over. They'll probably

702
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: still make the playoff. But if you think in terms

703
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: of ever having hope that Penn State was about to

704
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 1: do more than Penn State has done, that's dead. That's

705
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: just it feels dead. Why would I have faith? Why

706
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: would any Penn State fan have faith? See this is

707
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: the part where some of the criticism that you would

708
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: normally write off as insane is totally valid, totally valid.

709
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 1: No one up there can say that you haven't gotten

710
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: full buy in from the student body, from the fan base.

711
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: They had like five hundred thousand people there last night.

712
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: Everyone's all in, everyone's willing to bank on this year,

713
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: be in the year, and it's just it was close.

714
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: That's about the best you can say. It was close. Again, well,

715
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 1: they've all been close, but they hadn't gotten pushed over

716
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: the finish line. The portal editions at wide receiver. We

717
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 1: were so excited about six receptions for sixty four yards

718
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: and DeVante Ross was really most of that. And compare

719
00:38:56,239 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 1: that to how many easy completions will st got Dante Moore.

720
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: This is what hurts. This is what hurts because will

721
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: Stein got like a brand new quarterback dropped in his

722
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: lap every year, and he took his new quarterback across

723
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,439
Speaker 1: the country and just put on a clinic in front

724
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 1: of you. And then you've had your guy in the

725
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: building and you're intimately familiar with him and you know

726
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: everything about him, and he's run your system multiple years,

727
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 1: and it seemed like a struggle on par with watching

728
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: Jimbo Fisher offenses at Texas A and M where even

729
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: when a first down pass is completed, it feels like

730
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 1: a fight. It feels like the entire world is pushing

731
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: against you, and it's such a sigh of relief just

732
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: to watch a running back full forward for six and

733
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 1: a half yards. Meanwhile, Will Stein is just up there

734
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: playing video games against you in your own building. Dante

735
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: Moore is launching a Heisman campaign against you in your

736
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: own building, and your guy's fourteen of twenty five, one

737
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty seven yards touchdowns and a pick. It

738
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: just should be so much better than that. There's no

739
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 1: excuse for it not to be at Penn State. So

740
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: this one's different. I'm not being hyperbolic because you guys

741
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: who watched the show and listen to the show, No,

742
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: I don't really do that. But I told you, and

743
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 1: they knew it. I mean, I've been up there in

744
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: that building the past couple of months. They knew how

745
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: big this game was. I still had a little bit

746
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: of hope. I picked Penn State to win a game.

747
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: I had a little bit of hope in the back

748
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 1: of my mind maybe just maybe some of the lessons

749
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 1: I've learned in the history of this game apply here

750
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 1: and Penn State's looked very lethargic offensively so far. But

751
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: you know, maybe it is just a giant soda bottle

752
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: that's been shaken up and they're gonna twist that cap

753
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: against Oregon. It's flat. We opened it and it turns

754
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 1: out it's one of those commemorative coke bottles from nineteen

755
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: eighty two, and it's flat. That's Penn State football. That's

756
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: Penn State offense this year. There's just nothing there, nothing

757
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: more than we've seen before, maybe even less. I don't

758
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: know how that's possible. I think that I think last

759
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: night's result began a new timeline for Penn State football.

760
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: And I have no idea which one it is, because

761
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: it could be that it began a trajectory that ends

762
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: with James Franklin not at Penn State anymore in like

763
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: three years or something like that. And I'm not saying fired.

764
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 1: I don't even know how it would happen. I'm speaking hypothetically.

765
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I could envision three years from now

766
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: Franklin's not there anymore. And the conversation is, you know,

767
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: this really began with that organ game a few years back.

768
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: Nothing was ever the same after that It could be that,

769
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what else it could be. It

770
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: could be that James Franklin looks himself in the mirror

771
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 1: and says exactly what I just said. That was as

772
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: good as it's gonna get with my current way of

773
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: doing things here. Last night was the end of James

774
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: Franklin's Penn State one point zero, and tomorrow begins James

775
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: franklin Penn State two point oh. And there are only

776
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: so many changes you can make during the season. But

777
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: you never know, you know, if a loss like that,

778
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: you never know how much he had invested into that

779
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: particular game, So you never know how much that makes

780
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,760
Speaker 1: him look in the mirror, and how much he commits

781
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: to correcting twenty degrees here and shifting five degrees there,

782
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 1: and getting rid of this staffer and adding a new

783
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: staffer and changing the way they do this, and that

784
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 1: you never know if three years from now you may

785
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: be looking at James Franklin playing for a national championship

786
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: and his quarterback and his offense are setting records, and

787
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: you're saying, this never happens. If Oregon doesn't come in

788
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,439
Speaker 1: and really prove a point for us. Three years ago,

789
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm just saying one way or another. Last night began

790
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: a new timetable. It began a new timeline for Penn

791
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 1: State football. Of that, I am very confident. So Penn

792
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: State I feel differently. Oregon I feel differently because this

793
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: is not their ceiling. As bad as that sucks for

794
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: the rest of the Big Ten to hear, last night's

795
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: not their ceiling. They don't know what it is yet.

796
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is yet. That quarterback, that

797
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: offensive line. I mean, think about the moves they had

798
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: to make on offensive line, and they're watching those guys

799
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: work last night. Remember the Evan Stewart news, Remember how

800
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: Oregon boy, they lost their best receiver. What are they

801
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: gonna do? They're gonna play and they're gonna win because

802
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: it is as an organization, it's a program more than

803
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 1: a couple of individuals on a team. They're in ascension mode.

804
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:22,919
Speaker 1: I know that. So I don't know how much better

805
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: that team can get, but I expect them to continue

806
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 1: to get better. Let's move along. Jam Pack show man,

807
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 1: just a jam pack show. Let me take a sip

808
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: of water. Bradley, you guys can check your phone for

809
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: a second. Okay, we're back. Ole Miss beat LSU last night.

810
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: Ole Miss twenty four, LSU nineteen. I would give it

811
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 1: three and a half childlife on the one to five scale.

812
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: This one got a little bit personal for me last week.

813
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna talk about ole Miss first, but i

814
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: want to mention something about LSU. I got nothing but

815
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: love for LSU. Of about ninety eight percent of the

816
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: LSU fan base, about two percent of the LSU fan

817
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: base are a bunch of clowns, and they ran their

818
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: mouth a lot last week, and then they got worked

819
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: pretty thoroughly yesterday. And the problems are very obvious, very obvious.

820
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:18,240
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin, did you a favor because finally that portion

821
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: of the LSU fan base that was just incapable of

822
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: acknowledging obvious flaws until they lost a game, Well they

823
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: finally lost a game yesterday, so now it's okay to

824
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: talk about all the flaws. So anyway, I'll get to

825
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:33,240
Speaker 1: that in a second. Winners First, Ole Miss. I can't

826
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: believe this game was even within reach in the fourth quarter.

827
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: They pretty thoroughly outplayed out coached LSU. I know a

828
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,439
Speaker 1: lot of you, I think most of you probably watched

829
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 1: this game because it was the mid afternoon window. The

830
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: badlock stat in this one, which is the opposite of

831
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 1: a padlock stat. The badlock stat is Ole Miss had

832
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: fourteen penalties for one hundred and nine yards. Now, if

833
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: you told me that on Friday, I would say, congrats LSU,

834
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: You're gonna go in there and win a game. In reality,

835
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: Ole Miss being so undisciplined is what kept LSU in

836
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,439
Speaker 1: the game, so it ended up. That's not a badlock stat.

837
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: That's a bad luck stat. That would have folded me

838
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 1: on Friday. If you told me that teams are revealing

839
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: their identities right now and with Old Miss, no one

840
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: forecast this. I'm convinced seventy plus percent of the Old

841
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 1: Miss fan base did not know anything about Trinidad Chamblis

842
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 1: when this season started. They just they knew that Austin

843
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: Simmons is the new face of this team. In Austin

844
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 1: Simmons this, and Austin Simmons that, Hey, he's hurt, what

845
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: are we gonna do? Who's our backup? Trinidad Trinidad. Didn't

846
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 1: we travel there, didn't mom and dad go there from

847
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: their honeymoon? No, no, no, no, this is a player. Oh

848
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:49,839
Speaker 1: but he's from d two, he's from FCS. I heard

849
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:55,720
Speaker 1: that a lot last week FCS quarterback and FCS quarterback

850
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: is going to beat LSU. Well, you know, kiffn just

851
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: went and got the player. He didn't import all of

852
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: Farris State to Oxford. So you didn't play an FCS team.

853
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: You played a quarterback that was good enough to win

854
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:13,720
Speaker 1: a national championship in FCS. And there's this general ignorance

855
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: because most people don't watch FCS football and that there

856
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: are no good players down there. There are no high

857
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: caliber like SEC Big ten caliber players there are there

858
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: are the transfers happened every single year. This one just

859
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: so happened to be at quarterback, and it wasn't for

860
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 1: a starting role. It was to provide depth. But here's

861
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 1: the problem. The problem is Kiffin can get pretty good

862
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: production out of anyone. It seems Trinidad Chambliss included not

863
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: to disrespect him because what I just said is hyperbolic,

864
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 1: is not really true. It just seems that way, which

865
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:48,439
Speaker 1: has got to be a gut punch. By the way,

866
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: you know how bad Lane Kiffin makes the rest of

867
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,720
Speaker 1: the country look. You know how bad Penn State looks

868
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 1: when they've had Drew Aler all these years and Kiffin

869
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: just goes and grabs a guy from Farris State. Oh,

870
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: my starter's hurt. I'll win with him. You know how

871
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: bad that makes Clemson look. When Caid Club Nick's been

872
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 1: there all this time and there was all this hooplase

873
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: me moll would say a couple of cycles ago, we

874
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: got Garrett Riley, We're gonna pair him with Caid Club Nick.

875
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,839
Speaker 1: And Kiffin's like, I'll just go get a kid from

876
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: FCS and not even plan on starting him. Oh I've

877
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:24,919
Speaker 1: got to start him, all right, We'll win anyway. Yeah, yeah,

878
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: it makes you look pretty bad. That also wears out

879
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 1: the patience for a lot of offensive staffs elsewhere across

880
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: the country. So Lane Kiffin gets a lot of folks

881
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 1: in trouble. He's gotten himself in plenty of trouble over

882
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: the years. By the way, and I mentioned it Sunday Night,

883
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: I cannot recommend that documentary strongly enough. ESPN did a

884
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 1: really good job on that thing. I can't remember what

885
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: the title is. Ryan McGee did a good job on

886
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: it too, Friend of the program, Ryan McGee. So yeah,

887
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: the many lives of Lane Kiffin, Thank you, Jesse. He

888
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: didn't say anything. I just remembered it. I would encourage

889
00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: you to go watch that. So anyway, that's what's happening

890
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: Old Miss right now. The identity is forming. So there

891
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: are a lot of people around Old Miss who would

892
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: tell you next year, next year, Oh, this team's gonna

893
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: do something next year. Why obviously I'm saying that now

894
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: that I know they beat LSU. I was very confident

895
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 1: they would beat LSU. Let me tell you something else

896
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: that was happening around the SEC last week around the Yeah, okay,

897
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: I'll share it because I already started to say it.

898
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: There were a lot of people around the SEC very

899
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 1: confident that Old Miss would handle LSU, and it was

900
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 1: because of a specific matchup. So yeah, I just always

901
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: want to be careful. I don't you guys who watched

902
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 1: the show long enough. No, I never burn anyone. I

903
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: never burned sourcing or you know, run my mouth about

904
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 1: stuff I've been told to be quiet about. No one

905
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: told me to be quiet about this, So let's just

906
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: talk about it. LSU's got problems. These weren't revealed yesterday.

907
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: LSU's had problems all see, and probably one of the

908
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: worst things in retrospect that happened to them is they

909
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,879
Speaker 1: played Clemson in Week one? Well, why is that bad? Josh,

910
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: we won the game. It's not bad. It's great that

911
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 1: you won the game. You've got very very serious flaws that,

912
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,279
Speaker 1: it turns out, are the same flaws Clemson has. And

913
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: because you played each other Week one, only one if

914
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 1: you could lose the game. And there's this thing that

915
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: happens in college football where there are people who would

916
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: be ultra critical of this thing in a loss that

917
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: totally ignore that thing if you've won games. LSU has

918
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: had flaws all season long. They cannot run the ball

919
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 1: to save their lives. They haven't been able to all season.

920
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,800
Speaker 1: But because they haven't lost a game yet, people bite

921
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,720
Speaker 1: your head off if you start mentioning it. So last week,

922
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,879
Speaker 1: I am telling you throughout the week, I'm getting lit

923
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,439
Speaker 1: up because we're talking about the LSU O Miss game.

924
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: And I picked ole Miss to win, and I was

925
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: very confident it was my favorite games of the week

926
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: because I thought there was a very glaring disadvantage that

927
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 1: LSU had. Number One, they can't run the ball. Number two,

928
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:02,760
Speaker 1: your offensive staff is badly outmatched by their defensive staff.

929
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 1: Well that's not just me sitting here spitballing. That was

930
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 1: one of the most popular talking points just around the

931
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 1: league last week. I had other coaches hitting me up saying, hey,

932
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 1: that LSU ol miss game edge significantly, Ole miss defensive

933
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: staff against LSU. So you just mentioned fractions of that. Oh,

934
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: you're a hater. You're a hater. Boy. This used to

935
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: be a great show. Now it's just clickbait. That's just

936
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 1: know what it is is telling the truth about your

937
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 1: team that you refuse to see. This is to the

938
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: two percent, not the ninety eight percent that I love,

939
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:42,320
Speaker 1: but the two percent of LSU clownery amongst the fan base.

940
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: They once you mentioned in that stuff, well we won games.

941
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, we're about to go into Oxford.

942
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 1: You'll see, you'll see when we put the pedal down.

943
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: They're not as good last year. We had that game

944
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: go the way it did last year. And now we're

945
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 1: better and they're not as good. No, you're not. No,

946
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 1: you just hadn't lost a game yet. Well, now you

947
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,760
Speaker 1: have lost the game. Now guess what the LSU message

948
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:07,479
Speaker 1: boards look like today. A disaster because now everyone wants

949
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:11,280
Speaker 1: to call it out. It was already there. Who didn't

950
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: see this. Who in the world was shocked LSU couldn't

951
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: run the ball yesterday. They can't run it against air,

952
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 1: they can't run it against anyone. And what you have

953
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: is you got someone like me who has extreme pro

954
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: LSU bias. I've always been upfront about this because LSU

955
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen is the reason this show ever blew up.

956
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: I'm very close to that program. I badly want LSU

957
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: to win, but I won't lie for him, and I

958
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 1: won't lie about him. So I'm sitting here thinking to myself,

959
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 1: you're telling me already in the Brian Kelly era, we've

960
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 1: had a Heisman quarterback that gets wasted because we can't

961
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,839
Speaker 1: play defense. And then we get the defense figured out,

962
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: and we're gonna waste that because we can't run the ball.

963
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 1: At Louisiana State University, we can't run the ball. Of

964
00:51:57,120 --> 00:52:01,879
Speaker 1: all the things that we could struggle with pathetically, we could,

965
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 1: we couldn't get halfway decent dB play a couple of

966
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 1: years ago. Now we can't run the ball. This is

967
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: the state of Louisiana. They're right in your backyard. So

968
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: talent acquisition, I actually think they've made moves to rectify

969
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: it's just that we're still in that position right now.

970
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 1: So I think this team's got terminal flaws this year.

971
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:21,919
Speaker 1: And I mentioned that last year or last week, last

972
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I tell you another thing. This model

973
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 1: that we use, you know that everyone likes to anecdotally

974
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:30,879
Speaker 1: take shots at. It started dropping LSU three weeks ago,

975
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 1: just like it started dropping South Carolina before South Carolina

976
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:37,919
Speaker 1: started losing. Started dropping LSU. So the signs were already there.

977
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 1: Two of eleven on third down. And think about this.

978
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 1: You want to know where lack of a ground game

979
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:47,320
Speaker 1: bites you. You want to know when you're putting a clearly

980
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 1: less than one hundred percent Garrett Nussmeyer in an unfair position.

981
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 1: Not only were they two of eleven on third down yesterday,

982
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 1: their average distance to gain on third down was eight

983
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:02,240
Speaker 1: point one yards. That's so and is never a situation

984
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,360
Speaker 1: you should be in. So I'm sitting here still saying

985
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 1: the same things I've been saying about LSU, only now

986
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: everyone will agree because they lost a football game. It

987
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 1: was there already. It was there already. One of the

988
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 1: consistent tasks in this league week to week is to

989
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 1: find consistency just consistency in performance. When you can't run

990
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: the ball, you will not have consistency in performance. Now

991
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,760
Speaker 1: here's the difference, all right. So it was really really

992
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: interesting to watch Ole Miss and LSU and then watch

993
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: Bama in Georgia. So Ole Miss beats LSU because LSU

994
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: can't run the ball. LSU barely stayed in the game

995
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: because they couldn't run the ball. Did you watch Bama

996
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: against Georgia. Obama has not conventionally run the ball worth

997
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 1: ay crap all year, and yet their offense still functions.

998
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:57,399
Speaker 1: It's still hums. Why is that? Because they got an

999
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: excellent offensive coaching staff that understand if we're not gonna

1000
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: conventionally run it like we did in nineteen thirty eight

1001
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: right here between the tackles, we better be able. We

1002
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 1: better be able to generate some version of it. We

1003
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 1: better be able to gain it in the aggregate of

1004
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,800
Speaker 1: the way. We run sweeps and we do motion this

1005
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: and motion that, and we hit tailbacks out of the

1006
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 1: backfield really quick. Kublick described that brilliantly on this show

1007
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 1: last Thursday. You don't have that edge with your offensive staff.

1008
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 1: You just don't. It's not my job to sit here

1009
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 1: and break that down. I'm telling you everyone's picked up

1010
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 1: on that. You had many cases yesterday where Ole miss

1011
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 1: sat there and Pete Golding said, ye, I'll just bring

1012
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: three I'll just play three man front. You still can't

1013
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,799
Speaker 1: run it against us, and you know what, He's right

1014
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,400
Speaker 1: because you can't, and they won't be able to the

1015
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: rest of the year. No one's about to sell me,

1016
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: by the way, that when they get Caden Durham back,

1017
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 1: who was hurt, and that's not great, but they get

1018
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 1: him back and it'll be RECTI five. No, it won't. No,

1019
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 1: it will not be strength for them at any point

1020
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 1: this year anyway. It just rubs me the wrong way

1021
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:09,399
Speaker 1: because me, of all people, being labeled an LSU hater

1022
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 1: boggled my mind last week boggled the mind and a

1023
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 1: lot of the clowns Again, it's about two percent, not

1024
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 1: ninety eight that did that are nowhere to be found

1025
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 1: on www. Dot whatever dot com today because we're dealing

1026
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,840
Speaker 1: with the two percent. I understand that I love ninety

1027
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: eight percent of you guys, So to you, I say

1028
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 1: We're in this together. To the rest of you, I

1029
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 1: say things I'm not willing to say on there. Actually

1030
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:40,840
Speaker 1: go to Academy. Do that, that's your punishment. Go to academy,

1031
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: which is actually a reward. Academy Sports and Outdoors, longtime

1032
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,800
Speaker 1: partner of the show. We love them for that. Academy

1033
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 1: Sports and Outdoors has many things that you need. We

1034
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 1: love them for that too. And I would encourage you,

1035
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 1: as I often do before you just assume that you

1036
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:00,439
Speaker 1: know what all's in there. Make a trip. Yes, they've

1037
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:06,399
Speaker 1: got sporting goods equipment. Yes they're basketballs and hoops, footballs, cleats, gloves. Yeah,

1038
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 1: that's like two percent of the store. Look at the

1039
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:11,800
Speaker 1: other ninety eight percent. You'll find stuff you never imagine

1040
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 1: was an academy Academy dot com. If you can't get

1041
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 1: there in person, and we appreciate them, let's move on.

1042
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 1: Wo what does this say? We got you. Here's the thing.

1043
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 1: A lot of people who claim they don't listen to

1044
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 1: the outside noise watch the show on Sunday nights. So

1045
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 1: are there are some noteworthy individuals in the sport of

1046
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 1: college football who like to live text during the show.

1047
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 1: So if I glance over here, it's normally because I've

1048
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 1: been been reading feedback in real time, not that I

1049
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,919
Speaker 1: would ever let that influence me. I don't care about

1050
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 1: the outside noise. At Peyton State, we would never let

1051
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: it affect us. It affects us. Sam Pittman has been

1052
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 1: fired at Arkansas. What was eventual became inevitable after a

1053
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: fifty six to thirteen loss to Notre Dame yesterday, a splattering,

1054
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 1: the likes of which were so ugly and so emphatic

1055
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: that I'm not even gonna make it the Sarah McLaughlin

1056
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 1: Special out of respect because I love Sam Pittman and

1057
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 1: he just lost his job. So he went thirty two

1058
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 1: and thirty four over five and five years and change.

1059
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 1: He took that job when no one wanted it, and

1060
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: I think he deserves a lot of credit for that.

1061
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 1: He went three and seven in the COVID year, and

1062
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: then they went nine and four, and I hoped he

1063
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:38,959
Speaker 1: was off to the races, and then it was seven

1064
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:41,040
Speaker 1: and six, four and eight, seven and six. He started

1065
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 1: two and three. It sucks for him because they had

1066
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 1: two fourth quarter fumbles that cost him what would otherwise

1067
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: have been two wins. And then yesterday happened. And I

1068
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 1: have no clue. I have no clue if yesterday still

1069
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 1: would have happened. If you changed the other results. But anyway,

1070
00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 1: Tim Pittman's out coaching search began, Bobby Petrino interiom head

1071
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 1: coach can't. I'll get to it in a second. I

1072
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 1: know if you were around, maybe you were at church

1073
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 1: pot luck today and you didn't really have time to

1074
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 1: see the news that even though you knew Patrino was

1075
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator there. It is a reality slap to

1076
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 1: the face to just hear those words Bobby Petrino's the

1077
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 1: head coach at Arkansas again. But I'll get to that

1078
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: in a second. I wanted this to work so bad.

1079
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 1: All Arkansas fans did. I wanted it to work so

1080
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 1: bad for the same reason. I love what Clark's doing

1081
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 1: down the road here at Vanderbilt. I love what Kenny's

1082
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 1: doing out at Arizona State. I love seeing guys who

1083
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 1: are a perfect match for their program. Shane Biemer at

1084
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 1: South Carolina feels like this to me. I don't know

1085
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 1: how to describe it. Sometimes it's caused a guy went

1086
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:56,840
Speaker 1: there or played there. Other times it's just because the

1087
00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 1: personality in the program blend so perfectly. That is very

1088
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 1: unique to college football. That doesn't happen in the pros.

1089
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 1: Really in the pros. It's more you're hired to do

1090
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 1: a job and it's a bottom line business. And there's

1091
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 1: a lot of that in college football too. It's just

1092
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 1: culture matters. NFL franchises, it's kind of you've seen one,

1093
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:18,920
Speaker 1: seeing them all. There's a bubble, and there are thirty

1094
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: two of them, and some of them maybe in California,

1095
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 1: some of them may be in Florida, and some of

1096
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: them are more prestigious than the others. I'd take the Packers'

1097
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 1: job over the Jaguars job. But the point is it's

1098
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 1: pretty transferable. If something worked in Seattle, it'll work in Washington.

1099
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 1: Well that's not always the case in college football. I

1100
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 1: would love to see Greg Shechiano go coach at UCLA,

1101
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:44,439
Speaker 1: just for fun, just to watch what happens. So Sam

1102
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 1: Pittman's Sam Pittman's profile probably would not have worked at

1103
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:52,440
Speaker 1: many other places, but it felt like it could work

1104
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 1: at Arkansas, and I hoped it would work at Arkansas.

1105
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: And it looked like it was going to work at Arkansas.

1106
00:59:57,320 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: And the reason I loved that is because he is

1107
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 1: a great dude to be around, but also I hoped

1108
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 1: that it would work so that more programs would chase

1109
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: that because I love the unique spirit of college football,

1110
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 1: and it's really amplified when you do what Arizona State's

1111
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: done with Dillingham, when you do what Vanderbilt's done with

1112
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 1: Clark Lee. Difference is those are success stories. This one

1113
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:25,440
Speaker 1: ended up not being one. So the next question becomes,

1114
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 1: who's going to take the job. The interim is Bobby

1115
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:32,000
Speaker 1: b Trino, and I believe they put out a statement

1116
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 1: today and they said Bobby Petrino's name will be in

1117
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 1: the running for this job, which just again mind boggling.

1118
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 1: I'll finish with that. I was talking to a couple

1119
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 1: of pretty well placed people in the coaching industry yesterday

1120
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 1: about this, because they all go to the big games,

1121
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 1: and I found myself disagreeing a little bit with some

1122
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 1: people about the stature of the Arkansas job, Like some

1123
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 1: people look at the art Kansas job as an afterthought

1124
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 1: amongst SEC head coaching jobs. And if that's the case,

1125
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 1: don't take it, because you don't want to be the

1126
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 1: seventh or eighth or ninth best job in the most

1127
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: competitive and cutthroat league in America. And yeah, they'll pay

1128
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 1: enough money, but they're going to pay you so much

1129
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: money that they think it warrants being able to have

1130
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 1: unreasonable expectations. Okay, I counter with this, how familiar are

1131
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 1: you with Northwest Arkansas? Most of you have never been there.

1132
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: That's okay. I'm blessed to get to travel to all

1133
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 1: these places. So yeah, I've experienced it up there. I

1134
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:37,439
Speaker 1: go to football games up there, I go stormchasing up there.

1135
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 1: I know Northwest Arkansas. I question whether people who detegrate

1136
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 1: the potential value of this job, I question how much

1137
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 1: they know it. Now, what I'm thinking is, if you

1138
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 1: don't get the proper infusion of major industry in northwest Arkansas, no,

1139
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 1: the Arkansas job is not one worth taking. Great people, check,

1140
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 1: great facility, yeah, check. But that's not gonna win you

1141
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 1: football games if you can't go dollar for dollar with

1142
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 1: the big boys, Because ultimately it's about getting the players.

1143
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 1: And if you can't get the players up there, you're

1144
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 1: not gonna get the wins. You're not gonna out scheme

1145
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 1: folks in this league eight or nine times out of

1146
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 1: the year. So the next question becomes for anybody who

1147
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 1: gets hired there, and if you're coming after me, if

1148
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 1: I'm an end the band head coach, the first thing

1149
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 1: I'm asking is what guarantees is Walmart given me? What

1150
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 1: is Tyson Chicken doing? What is JB. Hunt doing? What

1151
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 1: is Wright's Barbecue doing? The four big industry pillars of

1152
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 1: northwest Arkansas? But for real, I need to know what

1153
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 1: guarantees I have because I'm telling you there's some coaching

1154
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 1: searches that are just now under Virginia Tech and UCLA.

1155
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 1: Everyone knows what I'm talking about. I think there are

1156
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: total and complete blinders on at a couple of places

1157
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 1: like that when it comes to what it takes to win. Okay,

1158
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 1: you've got this by gone era mentality that what it

1159
01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:05,200
Speaker 1: takes is, Okay, we got enough money to pay the buyout,

1160
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 1: so we can fire the current staff, and then we've

1161
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 1: raised enough money to pay a new staff. Problem solved. No,

1162
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 1: you just created new problems. If you can't tell me

1163
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 1: what your plan for rev share is and then what

1164
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 1: your above and beyond plan is to fill your nil coffers,

1165
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,480
Speaker 1: you're dead on arrival. And I'm telling you, man like

1166
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 1: you immerse yourself in college football fandom. So you think

1167
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 1: everyone at the administrative level gets this, they don't. There's

1168
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 1: some morons who work in this profession who are making decisions.

1169
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 1: Who would look at you and say, what do you

1170
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:42,080
Speaker 1: mean how we're gonna pay our players we participate in

1171
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:46,080
Speaker 1: rev share? Well, yeah, it's like a human saying I

1172
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:48,600
Speaker 1: breathe oxygen? What else do you want me to do?

1173
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 1: Probably a little bit more than every other human to

1174
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 1: ever exists. Does everybody breathes oxygen? Everyone participates in rev share?

1175
01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 1: What kind of edge is that gonna give you? You're

1176
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:05,160
Speaker 1: thinking about today's university versus the university of ten years ago, Well,

1177
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:07,959
Speaker 1: today's players get red share. Ten years ago they didn't

1178
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 1: get it. Yeah, but we're not living in twenty fifteen.

1179
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:13,960
Speaker 1: So you're competing against players on other teams that all

1180
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: get red share. How are you gonna give yourself an edge?

1181
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 1: And that's what I'd ask before taking the Arkansas job.

1182
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:21,720
Speaker 1: How am I going to be given an edge here?

1183
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:24,560
Speaker 1: Because otherwise my best is not going to be good enough.

1184
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of ego, and there's a lot

1185
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:34,120
Speaker 1: of arrogance sometimes in this profession. But when it comes

1186
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:37,959
Speaker 1: time to make a business decision, guys know, I'd better

1187
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:39,760
Speaker 1: be put in position where I can get good players.

1188
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:42,640
Speaker 1: And I just happen to think you can get good

1189
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:45,919
Speaker 1: players at Arkansas, and I don't have a long case

1190
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 1: study for it, because what I'm saying is I think

1191
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 1: things can be done there that haven't been done before.

1192
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:53,920
Speaker 1: I actually think the landscape is pretty uniquely fashioned right

1193
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 1: now for it to be done, just like I think

1194
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 1: Texas Tech never could have done what they did last

1195
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 1: year a generation ago. I think Oklahoma State, and I'm

1196
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:04,480
Speaker 1: still waiting to see you on this. I think Oklahoma

1197
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 1: State may be on the precipice of deciding screw it,

1198
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:10,480
Speaker 1: we'll do it. Is Arkansas going to do that now?

1199
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:16,160
Speaker 1: As for now it's Bobby Petrino's team. I can't believe

1200
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 1: that this is the world we are living in. Bobby

1201
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:22,800
Speaker 1: Patrino is, once again, at least on an interim basis,

1202
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 1: the head coach of Arkansas. Now, when you are the

1203
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 1: age I am, when you're in your thirties, right, Bradley,

1204
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm in my thirties. Yeah, when you're in your thirties,

1205
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:36,440
Speaker 1: or if you're in your forties, but I'm talking like

1206
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 1: mid thirties to mid forties. You still think that fifteen

1207
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:49,920
Speaker 1: years ago was yesterday. So I still vividly remember twenty ten, eleven, twelve,

1208
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 1: I always remember years in terms of what happened in

1209
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 1: football that year, but those years don't feel long ago

1210
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 1: to me at all. But to someone who's eighteen years old,

1211
01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 1: if I tell you, boy, remember Patrino in twenty twelve,

1212
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 1: remember what happened, They're like, no, okay, So when eighteen

1213
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:09,480
Speaker 1: year old is a legal adult today. So I've got

1214
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 1: a huge high school and college aged audience that wasn't

1215
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 1: even coherent. When Patrino made a ride that I would

1216
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 1: argue in sec Circles was more famous than Paul Revere's

1217
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 1: fermently in Arkansas Circles. It was a man. I'm telling

1218
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 1: you you need to respect the filter I have on

1219
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 1: myself because I had about three more lined up in

1220
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 1: my head. Jesse, remind me to tell you the jokes

1221
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,160
Speaker 1: I had off air. But I know kids listening to

1222
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 1: this show. I respect a lot of dads driving to

1223
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 1: work tomorrow morning, want a kid friendly environment in the truck.

1224
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:47,120
Speaker 1: And so I abstained, which is more than I can

1225
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:49,560
Speaker 1: say for him. Fifteen years ago. I abstained, and I'm

1226
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 1: proud of myself for it. That's what I want to

1227
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:54,200
Speaker 1: tell you. But I want to remind you or teach

1228
01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:58,840
Speaker 1: you for the first time. If you're not aware, just Wikipedia,

1229
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:01,920
Speaker 1: you know, just go read news articles, go watch a

1230
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:06,160
Speaker 1: special or two on it. You could not write a

1231
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 1: Netflix special about college football in Arkansas that included the

1232
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:12,439
Speaker 1: storylines that actually happened in real life with Patrino there.

1233
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 1: And then he's gone, and you think you'll never set

1234
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:18,720
Speaker 1: foot in the state again. And not only does he

1235
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 1: and not only does he land back at Arkansas as

1236
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 1: the coordinator, he's the head coach there again, and his

1237
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 1: name's in the running for the permanent job. And you

1238
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 1: know what, I couldn't care less about his past. Someone

1239
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 1: came at me today, by the way, and said, oh,

1240
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 1: if it was your sister, if it was your daughter,

1241
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 1: if it was your wife, you would What what does

1242
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 1: that have to do with Arkansas football? What does that

1243
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:48,320
Speaker 1: have to anyway? Yeah, Bobby Petrino, I don't know what

1244
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:50,600
Speaker 1: else to say. I'm paid to speak words, and I'm

1245
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 1: at a loss for words. They're watching us in Morristown, Tennessee,

1246
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:57,520
Speaker 1: Boiling Springs, South Carolina, Gary, Indiana. Thank you so much.

1247
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 1: Added takeaway time. Here we go, Bradley several more takeaways

1248
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 1: some Saturday, speaking of that game in Arkansas fifty six

1249
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:12,440
Speaker 1: two thirteen. Notre Dame just emphatically this was beyond a

1250
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 1: Sarah McLaughlin special, which I'm gonna say for later in

1251
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:17,840
Speaker 1: the show. This was just a TVMA special, a full

1252
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:21,639
Speaker 1: blown splattering Notre Dame. Forty two points and four hundred

1253
01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:26,000
Speaker 1: and twenty yards. I'm being told those were first half numbers. Okay,

1254
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 1: forty two points and four hundred and twenty yards in

1255
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 1: the first half pay per pop, they averaged ten point

1256
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 1: two yards per play. Translation, I had stats in INFO

1257
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:37,840
Speaker 1: run these numbers. That means they averaged a first down

1258
01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:44,559
Speaker 1: per play assault terrible. You will notice now that Notre

1259
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:48,480
Speaker 1: Dame has steadied the ship. They had two early losses

1260
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:50,880
Speaker 1: and now they won this game, and now they got

1261
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:53,320
Speaker 1: a really workable schedule. And I've already seen some people

1262
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:55,760
Speaker 1: start to talk about the Notre Dame strength of schedule thing.

1263
01:08:56,200 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 1: And the working theory was, as as long as Notre

1264
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:03,080
Speaker 1: Dame goes ten and two, they'll be in the playoff.

1265
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 1: Why cause it's Notre Dame. I actually still believe that

1266
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 1: there is an alternate, growing working theory out there that

1267
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 1: they don't have another quality win because all the rest

1268
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:16,120
Speaker 1: of the teams on their schedule keep losing, and so

1269
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 1: the thinking is Notre Dame's resume at the end of

1270
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:22,479
Speaker 1: the year isn't gonna bear the brunt of strength of

1271
01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:27,360
Speaker 1: schedule scrutiny. And I'm telling you you're probably wrong. But

1272
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:30,680
Speaker 1: even if you're not well, actually if you're not, you're not.

1273
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 1: I just think this is gonna work itself out. There

1274
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:39,679
Speaker 1: is unimaginable carnage ahead in college football. So what seems

1275
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:42,559
Speaker 1: right now like a very finite amount of college football

1276
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:45,800
Speaker 1: playoff spots could end up being worth searching for qualified

1277
01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:49,720
Speaker 1: teams and Notre Dames well within that batch. Just say,

1278
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:53,280
Speaker 1: I think it'll work itself out. Although your points are taken. Yeah,

1279
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:57,720
Speaker 1: I did not ignore Friday night. Friday night, I was

1280
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:01,520
Speaker 1: watching nothing because I was playing a bubbleheader in softball,

1281
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:05,479
Speaker 1: but Virginia and FSU were playing. And let me just

1282
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:09,000
Speaker 1: set the scene for you. So we're out playing a

1283
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:13,680
Speaker 1: doubleheader in softball. We are playing a team that, if

1284
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 1: they had point spreads on Church League Friday Night softball,

1285
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:20,160
Speaker 1: would be favored by about ten against. I would say

1286
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 1: we are down two to nothing, two to one. I

1287
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 1: think fourth inning not good, and everyone's really sleepwalking because

1288
01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:31,160
Speaker 1: everyone's watching this game on their phone. I snuck a

1289
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:33,360
Speaker 1: peek or two as well, and Florida State got down

1290
01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:37,599
Speaker 1: fourteen to nothing to Virginia, and everyone's like, oh man, oh,

1291
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:39,840
Speaker 1: what's happened to them? And then it dawned on me.

1292
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:43,479
Speaker 1: We were Florida State, and I yelled that in the dugout,

1293
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 1: and sure enough we responded, seven run inning, four run inning.

1294
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:52,280
Speaker 1: We won run rule. Florida State did not respond as well.

1295
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:55,439
Speaker 1: Now they did respond, and they I think ended up

1296
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:58,759
Speaker 1: taking the lead, but Virginia ended up clipping them. Remember,

1297
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 1: we don't know how good Florida State is. You remember

1298
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 1: that was the line from Bama fans after Week one,

1299
01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:05,640
Speaker 1: who wanted to hold out hope. Yeah, we lost to them,

1300
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:07,719
Speaker 1: but we don't know how good they are. You were right,

1301
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 1: and now we got to say it about Virginia to

1302
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 1: make Florida State folks feel better. We don't know how

1303
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 1: good Virginia is. They're ranked this week, for whatever that's worth.

1304
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 1: In the A people, they're ranked. We got Tommy Castellano's

1305
01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 1: ceiling version against Alabama. There's always baked in to a

1306
01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:29,360
Speaker 1: point spread out there, the potential that the Flora version

1307
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:32,600
Speaker 1: shows up, and that's why that FSU minus six and

1308
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:34,519
Speaker 1: a half was what it was and it didn't move

1309
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:37,760
Speaker 1: all week? Did it? So the jury is still out.

1310
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:41,040
Speaker 1: They got Miami this week. I will be in attendance

1311
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:45,759
Speaker 1: for that game. Some thought. Some thought that once Florida

1312
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 1: State lost on Friday, Oh, you must be rearranging your travel. No,

1313
01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:52,800
Speaker 1: I'm etching it in Stone. I will be there from

1314
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:56,360
Speaker 1: Miami Florida State. I think they will respond. I think

1315
01:11:56,439 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 1: the sneaking suspicion that'll be a competitive game. I was

1316
01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:03,480
Speaker 1: at a competitive game in the early portion of yesterday

1317
01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:09,320
Speaker 1: and Illinois beat USC and Illinois one despite going two

1318
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:12,360
Speaker 1: to four in the red zone. This game should have

1319
01:12:12,360 --> 01:12:14,880
Speaker 1: been a much wider margin of victory for Illinois than

1320
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:18,920
Speaker 1: it was. We've been hesitant with USC on this show,

1321
01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:23,240
Speaker 1: excited but hesitant because we thought they may still be

1322
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:26,840
Speaker 1: one more year away. And I do feel that way.

1323
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:29,040
Speaker 1: But I also know you don't want to hear that

1324
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:31,280
Speaker 1: about Lincoln Riley. See, this was always going to be

1325
01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:34,120
Speaker 1: the catch twenty two. I've said this since July. I

1326
01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:37,880
Speaker 1: said my truthful vision on Lincoln Riley is they have

1327
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:40,559
Speaker 1: figured a lot of things out. They've made good moves,

1328
01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:42,960
Speaker 1: and I think in time, the roster is going to

1329
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:45,719
Speaker 1: reflect that, it will not fully reflect it this year.

1330
01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:49,639
Speaker 1: That's how I felt in July, and my follow up

1331
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 1: feel was, if they starting now, so I'm speaking to

1332
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:57,040
Speaker 1: you in July, starting now, if they're willing to give

1333
01:12:57,120 --> 01:13:00,519
Speaker 1: him some more patients, they'll have the product they want.

1334
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:04,200
Speaker 1: But if they don't feel that he deserves more patients,

1335
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:07,200
Speaker 1: because he's already several years into his tenure, I would

1336
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 1: understand that. So now we're gonna find out how much

1337
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:14,680
Speaker 1: patience or USC has for Lincoln Riley. But as for Illinois,

1338
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:17,840
Speaker 1: that out rushed USC one seventy one to twenty six.

1339
01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:22,479
Speaker 1: And that's noteworthy because last week Illinois, I'm trying to remember,

1340
01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:24,800
Speaker 1: I think they got outrushed like three hundred and twelve

1341
01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 1: to two. And conversely, Southern Cal's been running the ball

1342
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 1: really good, so to outrush them in this game was

1343
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:35,000
Speaker 1: no small feat. Lincoln Riley now four and eleven versus

1344
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:38,280
Speaker 1: ranked teams at USC. It's just got to get better.

1345
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:43,879
Speaker 1: It's just got to get better. Illinois that lost last week, Okay,

1346
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:48,080
Speaker 1: maybe everyone's just got a bowling shoe ugly mulligan in

1347
01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:52,840
Speaker 1: their bag this year, and maybe that was Illinois's possessive

1348
01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:57,599
Speaker 1: version of Illinois. Next up, Tennessee and Mississippi State was

1349
01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:03,600
Speaker 1: very entertaining. Tennessee forty one, Mississippi State thirty four. This

1350
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:06,080
Speaker 1: was one of our our most confident bets last week.

1351
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,639
Speaker 1: We took Mississippi State plus the points on Sunday night.

1352
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:13,439
Speaker 1: Thought it would be a dog fight. Thought Mississippi State

1353
01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:15,719
Speaker 1: had a half decent shot to win the game outright,

1354
01:14:16,280 --> 01:14:19,840
Speaker 1: and we got everything we thought we would get in

1355
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:24,320
Speaker 1: this game. Tennessee's run defense stood up fairly well here

1356
01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:28,479
Speaker 1: for a game where you gave up thirty four and

1357
01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:30,320
Speaker 1: a lot of that's kind of weird because there was

1358
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:33,760
Speaker 1: some defensive stuff. I thought their secondary played pretty well.

1359
01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 1: Like I just thought it was a fight. Not every

1360
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:39,439
Speaker 1: game has to have these three or four bullet points

1361
01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:41,560
Speaker 1: worth of explainers. It was just a fight. It was

1362
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:44,639
Speaker 1: a really good game, which surprised some people because they

1363
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:47,719
Speaker 1: are probably still a little bit too low on Mississippi State.

1364
01:14:48,360 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 1: State's probably just a better team than you think they are,

1365
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:54,200
Speaker 1: and they showed that yesterday. But since they lost, no

1366
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:58,439
Speaker 1: one will really take notice. But just to fight, just

1367
01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:01,800
Speaker 1: to fight. So now, well here's what happens. Okay, you

1368
01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:05,240
Speaker 1: had a game you could have lost. You took a

1369
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:08,639
Speaker 1: new starter quarterback on the road, and there were some picks,

1370
01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:10,760
Speaker 1: but there were tip balls, Like I thought, Aglar played

1371
01:15:10,760 --> 01:15:13,080
Speaker 1: pretty well actually, But you had a game that could

1372
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:15,400
Speaker 1: have gone against you. Some would argue maybe it should

1373
01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:17,320
Speaker 1: have gone against you. I don't ever believe in that.

1374
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:21,240
Speaker 1: But you won. So you had the Georgia loss. This

1375
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:23,519
Speaker 1: would have been devastating. This would have been a second

1376
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:27,680
Speaker 1: conference loss. It was just that close to happening. But

1377
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:31,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't goes your way, all right. So that's Tennessee's schedule.

1378
01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:33,600
Speaker 1: They got Bobby Petrino coming to town. Get used to

1379
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 1: saying that for a little while. And then they go

1380
01:15:35,120 --> 01:15:37,800
Speaker 1: to Bama third Saturday in October, which will take place

1381
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:40,600
Speaker 1: the third Saturday in October. Just keep an eye on

1382
01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:46,719
Speaker 1: that team, anyone, anyone who dodges that kind of conference loss.

1383
01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:49,519
Speaker 1: Just keep an eye on it. I remember, you know,

1384
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:51,920
Speaker 1: every single year since I've been watching this sport, there's

1385
01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:54,799
Speaker 1: been a result or to first half of the season

1386
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,519
Speaker 1: that you didn't understand the value of until the back half,

1387
01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:02,160
Speaker 1: until November, until the playoff selection show is on and

1388
01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:04,439
Speaker 1: you're looking at the resume and you're saying, dude, you

1389
01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:07,240
Speaker 1: remember that game in Week four that at the time

1390
01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:09,519
Speaker 1: I didn't think was that big a deal. Think about

1391
01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 1: if Tennessee would have lost that game, they wouldn't even

1392
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:15,040
Speaker 1: be here Now they are. Yeah, yeah, that's why the

1393
01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:20,880
Speaker 1: outcomes really matter. Indiana and Iowa was so ugly, so ugly.

1394
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:22,840
Speaker 1: This was an Iowa game. The best way I could

1395
01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:27,519
Speaker 1: describe this is Indiana one an Iowa game, which is

1396
01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:30,719
Speaker 1: a pretty big compliment. We don't give out Chalai rating

1397
01:16:30,760 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 1: on the added takeaway games. This one we get minus

1398
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:36,559
Speaker 1: CHALYI hideous to watch. People paid money to go to

1399
01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:39,639
Speaker 1: this game, and I commend you guys. The offense got

1400
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:45,240
Speaker 1: bottled up. They Iowa had one explosive play and who

1401
01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 1: here's the question or Indiana rather had one explosive play.

1402
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:51,080
Speaker 1: But they won. They found a way to win, and

1403
01:16:51,080 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 1: then found a way to let Iowa cover and then

1404
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:56,240
Speaker 1: had the quarterback apologize to betters in the post game.

1405
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:58,280
Speaker 1: We had Kiffin tell people to take the over. Last

1406
01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:01,360
Speaker 1: week we had Fernando Mendoza openly understanding he took a

1407
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:03,680
Speaker 1: safety to end the game that took it from a

1408
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:07,400
Speaker 1: seven point win to a five point win. The line

1409
01:17:07,439 --> 01:17:09,200
Speaker 1: was six and a half at the beginning of the week.

1410
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:12,240
Speaker 1: In case you're case you're wondering with the impact that had.

1411
01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:17,919
Speaker 1: Just funny anyway, Indiana, same thing I just said about Tennessee.

1412
01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:20,840
Speaker 1: You got a conference win that easily could have been

1413
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:24,080
Speaker 1: a loss, and who knows, who knows what it means

1414
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:27,920
Speaker 1: moving forward? Ohio State went up to Washington and took

1415
01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:31,040
Speaker 1: care of business. There are two voices that I have,

1416
01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:34,280
Speaker 1: one on each shoulder right now with Ohio State. One

1417
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:37,880
Speaker 1: of those voices keeps saying, we still don't really know

1418
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:41,599
Speaker 1: about Ohio State. And then there's this other voice that says,

1419
01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:44,479
Speaker 1: are you going to do this all year? You keep

1420
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:48,160
Speaker 1: trying to discredit the opponent. After Ohio State beats him,

1421
01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:51,800
Speaker 1: you discredit Texas. Oh, we got to find out about

1422
01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 1: Ohio State. Okay, Well, then they go to Washington and

1423
01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:57,759
Speaker 1: you tout demon Williams and the home field ad vantage

1424
01:17:57,800 --> 01:18:01,679
Speaker 1: there and they shut all that down. Yeah, they only

1425
01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:05,200
Speaker 1: had like six offensive possessions, which is crazy. We still

1426
01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 1: got one of the slowest pace of play teams. We

1427
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:09,800
Speaker 1: still got to figure Ohio State out. Hey, maybe it's

1428
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:12,479
Speaker 1: just complimentary football. Maybe that's the way they're going to

1429
01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:15,599
Speaker 1: play this year, or maybe they've looked and they've said,

1430
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:19,400
Speaker 1: we've got a suffocating defense, and Matt Patricia has worked

1431
01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:23,400
Speaker 1: two really good offensive staffs. Now we don't have to

1432
01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 1: put the pedal down offensively. We can afford to take

1433
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 1: our time. We got incredible wide receiver talent. But in

1434
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:32,920
Speaker 1: many cases, the only way they could have lost this

1435
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:35,760
Speaker 1: game yesterday is if they tried to force things with

1436
01:18:35,960 --> 01:18:38,559
Speaker 1: Julian saying so they can afford to bring him along slowly.

1437
01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:41,479
Speaker 1: They can afford to let this offense mature. We of

1438
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:44,720
Speaker 1: course know what they are in September. They hope not

1439
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:50,360
Speaker 1: to be in November. Washington had a four to nothing

1440
01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:53,400
Speaker 1: explosive play edge in this game and got beat by

1441
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:56,600
Speaker 1: three scorers. I would not have believed that if you

1442
01:18:56,680 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 1: told me that Friday. So it's Ohio State and it's Oregon,

1443
01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:06,120
Speaker 1: and then there's a pretty wide gap and then Penn

1444
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:09,000
Speaker 1: State down there. So is it just Ohio State Oregon

1445
01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:11,760
Speaker 1: on a collision course? Is that what we've got now

1446
01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:15,040
Speaker 1: could very well be? Let's continue. You've got a few

1447
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:18,280
Speaker 1: more things to talk about here. Whow jam pack show

1448
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:22,080
Speaker 1: Texas A and m beat Auburn sixteen to ten. Give

1449
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:24,479
Speaker 1: me one and a half til on. This one not

1450
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:27,479
Speaker 1: the most aesthetically pleasing game in the world. There was

1451
01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:31,519
Speaker 1: desperation in the air for Auburn, and this was a

1452
01:19:32,280 --> 01:19:34,840
Speaker 1: It was a weird game because it was it was

1453
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 1: a moment that Auburn had to have, but they had

1454
01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:39,760
Speaker 1: to go into college station and A and M's off

1455
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:44,320
Speaker 1: of buy so situational dynamics, it's just totally against Auburn.

1456
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:48,120
Speaker 1: Auburn needed this, and I also thought about A and

1457
01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 1: M how they going to handle success. There was a

1458
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:53,759
Speaker 1: lot of talk amongst A and M fans, the smarter

1459
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:57,559
Speaker 1: at least, the more seasoned A and M fans, that hey,

1460
01:19:57,880 --> 01:19:59,840
Speaker 1: it's great that we want it Notre Dame, but now

1461
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:01,479
Speaker 1: we won at Notre Dame. Now we're gonna have a

1462
01:20:01,520 --> 01:20:06,360
Speaker 1: buye and everyone is gonna be able to just bask

1463
01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:09,240
Speaker 1: for two weeks and yeah we're coming out of a

1464
01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:11,280
Speaker 1: buye and yeah we're at home. But we got a

1465
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 1: desperate team coming in and there was some concern, and

1466
01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:18,160
Speaker 1: there was valid concern. Frankly, A and M finds a

1467
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 1: way to lose those kind of games in the past.

1468
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:24,240
Speaker 1: But let me explain the Mike Elko effect, cause that's

1469
01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:28,559
Speaker 1: it I'm convinced A and M of years past loses

1470
01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:33,280
Speaker 1: that game inexplicably, somehow, some way, you're left with your

1471
01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:35,360
Speaker 1: jaw on the ground. Maybe you're in the stadium, maybe

1472
01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 1: you're watching it home. You know that feeling. It's called

1473
01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:41,120
Speaker 1: battered aggie syndrome. You had it for a long time

1474
01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:44,040
Speaker 1: because you have find ways to lose those games. Well,

1475
01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:48,080
Speaker 1: yesterday they had thirteen penalties for one hundred and nineteen yards.

1476
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:52,360
Speaker 1: They were three of fourteen on third down, they lost

1477
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:56,639
Speaker 1: the turnover battle, they had no passes over twenty five yards,

1478
01:20:56,680 --> 01:20:59,920
Speaker 1: they missed two field goals, and they won a football game.

1479
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:03,240
Speaker 1: And that's the Mike Elko effect, because you know there'll

1480
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:05,519
Speaker 1: be days where it clicks. We just saw one in

1481
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:08,000
Speaker 1: South Bend not too long ago. You know there'll be

1482
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:11,760
Speaker 1: days where it's humming offensively. Can you win when you

1483
01:21:11,760 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 1: don't have your fastball? How many different ways can you win?

1484
01:21:16,240 --> 01:21:18,320
Speaker 1: Are you a Swiss army knife or are you just

1485
01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:20,400
Speaker 1: kind of a one trick pony and someone figures that

1486
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:22,439
Speaker 1: out and you're screwed, You're dead in the water. Well,

1487
01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:24,880
Speaker 1: we know that's not A and M. We're starting to learn.

1488
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:27,519
Speaker 1: They held Auburn to ten points, one hundred and seventy

1489
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 1: seven total yards. They ran for over two hundred on

1490
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:33,559
Speaker 1: what I considered to be one of the best rush

1491
01:21:33,600 --> 01:21:36,680
Speaker 1: defenses in the country. You just find it more and

1492
01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:40,000
Speaker 1: more ways to win. So that's what's important with Texas

1493
01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 1: A and M. The biggest takeaway for me if you're

1494
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 1: asking what was important about this in some sixteen to

1495
01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:48,040
Speaker 1: ten win, Well, it's a conference win, that's the first thing.

1496
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:51,440
Speaker 1: The second thing is I've watched them win two distinctively

1497
01:21:51,520 --> 01:21:54,320
Speaker 1: different types of ways. Now they had to go outscore

1498
01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:56,760
Speaker 1: Notre Dame on the road, and then they won a

1499
01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:59,720
Speaker 1: rock fight at home when they clearly don't have their

1500
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:04,000
Speaker 1: best stuff against a very desperate Auburn team. December is

1501
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 1: a long way away. You don't have to have it

1502
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:10,720
Speaker 1: all figured out in September. Hardly anyone does. You're still evolving.

1503
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:13,280
Speaker 1: The best teams get better. The best statfs make sure

1504
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:15,760
Speaker 1: their teams are getting better. I think A and M's

1505
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:18,519
Speaker 1: getting better. How many tools do you have in the

1506
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:22,600
Speaker 1: bag come December? Are you at the table in December?

1507
01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 1: And if you are, how many tools do you have

1508
01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:27,480
Speaker 1: in the bag. Well, now I've seen Marcel reid explosivity

1509
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:30,680
Speaker 1: in the passing game. I saw him run for over

1510
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:35,559
Speaker 1: two hundred yesterday. I've seen them improve defensively. You figure

1511
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:39,920
Speaker 1: out who you are. That's about forming identity. I'm figuring

1512
01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:42,080
Speaker 1: out who you are. You're figuring out who you are.

1513
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:44,640
Speaker 1: There's no need to be gloomy. And I'm not the

1514
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:48,520
Speaker 1: only one saying it. Mike Elko, take it away.

1515
01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:51,880
Speaker 2: So anybody want to ask a question about like us

1516
01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:54,559
Speaker 2: being four and zho for the first time since twenty sixteen,

1517
01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:57,320
Speaker 2: or how did the defense bounce back? Or how about

1518
01:22:57,320 --> 01:23:00,000
Speaker 2: you held them to one hundred and seventy six yards

1519
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:02,040
Speaker 2: on offense and you had five sacks and they were

1520
01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:04,080
Speaker 2: zero for twelve on third down and zero for two

1521
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:06,840
Speaker 2: on fourth down, and you got the return game going again.

1522
01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:08,479
Speaker 2: Like I don't mean to sound like someone else, but

1523
01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:14,679
Speaker 2: my gosh, will you guys stop being so dreadful and gloomy? Yeah?

1524
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:15,439
Speaker 2: Next one.

1525
01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:20,920
Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, what's the matter with you people. Billy

1526
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:22,760
Speaker 1: Lucci's got to get texas A and M in check.

1527
01:23:23,040 --> 01:23:25,720
Speaker 1: We can't have this, We cannot have this. I have

1528
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:29,400
Speaker 1: no idea what Auburn is defensively or offensively. I have

1529
01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:34,320
Speaker 1: no idea who or what Auburn is offensively. I expected

1530
01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:36,400
Speaker 1: them to go into this game and compete, and the

1531
01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:40,120
Speaker 1: score was close, but I expected them to have at

1532
01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:43,200
Speaker 1: least a two to one run to pass ratio because

1533
01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:45,240
Speaker 1: that was their only path to me to winning the game.

1534
01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:49,639
Speaker 1: And they ended up thirty three passes twenty four rushes,

1535
01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:52,960
Speaker 1: and it really was a wider margin than that because

1536
01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:55,680
Speaker 1: all of the sacks, and there were several of them

1537
01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:59,200
Speaker 1: again counters rushes. So they tried to throw the ball

1538
01:23:59,240 --> 01:24:03,080
Speaker 1: to win, and that's not happening. It's not happening, not

1539
01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:05,800
Speaker 1: because you can't get guys open, and because you don't

1540
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:08,519
Speaker 1: have good receiver talent, you don't have the quarterback to

1541
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:11,640
Speaker 1: get it to them. It's just a failed experiment. The

1542
01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:15,800
Speaker 1: Jackson Arnold experiment is just a failed experiment, and it's

1543
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:19,759
Speaker 1: probably not gonna get better because playing Georgia and Missouri

1544
01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:23,880
Speaker 1: and Bama at Vanderbilt doesn't tend to make it better.

1545
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:25,840
Speaker 1: And now they're a three and two team and there

1546
01:24:25,840 --> 01:24:28,080
Speaker 1: are probably several more losses come in and it's gonna

1547
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:30,479
Speaker 1: get worse on the schedule, but it's gonna get worse tonight,

1548
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:36,680
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, Auburn, the Sarah McLaughlin special. It was

1549
01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:39,599
Speaker 1: a must have game, and they were out gained four

1550
01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:43,200
Speaker 1: fourteen to one seventy seven. A and M had more

1551
01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:46,439
Speaker 1: rush yards than you had total yards. A and M

1552
01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:49,519
Speaker 1: had more pass yards than you had total yards. And

1553
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:53,040
Speaker 1: A and M didn't exactly light it on fire offensively yesterday.

1554
01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:55,160
Speaker 1: You were just that bad. They doubled you up on

1555
01:24:55,240 --> 01:24:59,479
Speaker 1: first downs. Auburn was oh of fifteen on third and

1556
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:03,839
Speaker 1: fourth down, another five sacks, another six tackles for loss

1557
01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:07,639
Speaker 1: in winning time. The fourth quarter winning time, Auburn had

1558
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:12,599
Speaker 1: one total yard fifty two yards rushing, was their lowest

1559
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:17,479
Speaker 1: output in several years. I unfortunately have here Auburn's drive

1560
01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:23,280
Speaker 1: chart three and out, three and out, punt three and out,

1561
01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:27,280
Speaker 1: field goal three and out. We head into the locker room,

1562
01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:34,320
Speaker 1: halftime adjustments, second half, turnover on downs, punt touchdown, drive

1563
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:39,439
Speaker 1: of two yards, three and out, three and out, turnover

1564
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:42,680
Speaker 1: on downs. It's just a failed experiment. It's dead in

1565
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:44,640
Speaker 1: the water. I have no clue where they're going to

1566
01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:48,000
Speaker 1: go from here. One thing I've learned about college football

1567
01:25:48,200 --> 01:25:52,960
Speaker 1: the SEC is you don't reinvent yourself on the fly.

1568
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:55,000
Speaker 1: Once the plane's already off the ground. There are only

1569
01:25:55,040 --> 01:25:57,799
Speaker 1: so many repairs you can make. They're trying to rebuild

1570
01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:01,519
Speaker 1: the plane at thirty thousand feet, and I think we

1571
01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:03,880
Speaker 1: know what happens to a plane when you try and

1572
01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:06,360
Speaker 1: rebuild it at thirty thousand feet. You're Sarah McLaughlin's Special

1573
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:12,280
Speaker 1: The Auburn Tigers. Takes a lot out of me to

1574
01:26:12,360 --> 01:26:16,080
Speaker 1: do that, it really does. But I will tell you this,

1575
01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:21,840
Speaker 1: tailgating you have essentials. Okay, we all know that Flexpower

1576
01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:24,360
Speaker 1: a new partner of ours. We've been having a lot

1577
01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:28,200
Speaker 1: of fun with them. When I walk through tailgating scenes.

1578
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:32,439
Speaker 1: You know, I've always noticed the canopies, the food, the grills,

1579
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:35,760
Speaker 1: but I also noticed the generators. We badly wanted a

1580
01:26:35,800 --> 01:26:40,120
Speaker 1: partner that completes the tailgating experience flex Power does. And

1581
01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:43,439
Speaker 1: so you know, if you are familiar with setting up

1582
01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:46,799
Speaker 1: your tailgate scene, you know you probably rely on a generator. Anyway,

1583
01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:50,120
Speaker 1: we have friends of the program now that can provide

1584
01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:53,400
Speaker 1: you with the thirty three hundred eye generator, specifically over

1585
01:26:53,439 --> 01:26:56,760
Speaker 1: at myflexpower dot com. And I'd say the same thing

1586
01:26:56,800 --> 01:26:59,720
Speaker 1: about flex Power that I'd say about Quick Trip. I

1587
01:26:59,840 --> 01:27:02,160
Speaker 1: know you need fuel to get to the game. Just

1588
01:27:02,240 --> 01:27:04,880
Speaker 1: check out one of our friends, Academy Sports and Outdoors.

1589
01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:07,280
Speaker 1: Check out one of our friends, flex Power, friend of

1590
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:09,519
Speaker 1: the program in a big way. And these are folks

1591
01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:11,280
Speaker 1: who watched the show long before we ever got in

1592
01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:13,679
Speaker 1: business with them, which is why we got in business

1593
01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:16,439
Speaker 1: with them. So if you need the generator could be

1594
01:27:16,479 --> 01:27:19,559
Speaker 1: for tailgating, it could just be if your scared storms

1595
01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:21,840
Speaker 1: are gonna knock the power out, as they often do,

1596
01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:26,439
Speaker 1: myflexpower dot Com can and will help you out, and

1597
01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:30,080
Speaker 1: we appreciate them. I wanted to make it through an

1598
01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:33,519
Speaker 1: entire show tonight. I badly wanted to make it through

1599
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:36,639
Speaker 1: an entire show without talking about officiating. And I thought

1600
01:27:36,640 --> 01:27:38,800
Speaker 1: I was going to. On the flight home last night,

1601
01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:42,880
Speaker 1: I missed holding call here and there. Targeting. I always

1602
01:27:42,920 --> 01:27:45,160
Speaker 1: have problems with it, but I thought we were gonna

1603
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:47,920
Speaker 1: make it through a show without talking about officiating. And

1604
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:51,519
Speaker 1: then I looked at my phone and I had one person,

1605
01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:55,360
Speaker 1: two people, ten people, thirty people saying dude, wake for us.

1606
01:27:55,479 --> 01:27:58,439
Speaker 1: Just had an entire game stolen from them, And I said,

1607
01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:02,960
Speaker 1: don't start this, not this again. One blown call in

1608
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:07,720
Speaker 1: an entire afternoon stole the game from you. Really, And

1609
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:11,960
Speaker 1: then I went and watched, and I don't know any

1610
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:14,679
Speaker 1: other way to put it. Acc officials stole a game

1611
01:28:14,760 --> 01:28:18,400
Speaker 1: from Wake Forest yesterday. You're looking at the game here, Bradley,

1612
01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:20,639
Speaker 1: just loop it for a second. So here's the situation.

1613
01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:25,639
Speaker 1: If you're listening on pod, Wake Forest is up twenty

1614
01:28:25,640 --> 01:28:30,320
Speaker 1: three to twenty minute, fifty one to go. Georgia Tech

1615
01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:34,439
Speaker 1: has no timeouts left. They have the ball. Wake has

1616
01:28:34,479 --> 01:28:38,519
Speaker 1: the ball. They're up, opponent has no timeouts left. It's

1617
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:42,200
Speaker 1: third down. Basically they need a first down. Games over.

1618
01:28:44,120 --> 01:28:48,240
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech jumps off sides badly to the point where

1619
01:28:48,600 --> 01:28:51,559
Speaker 1: center does exactly what he's supposed to do, snaps the ball.

1620
01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:54,600
Speaker 1: Robbie Ashford at quarterback does exactly what he's supposed to do.

1621
01:28:54,680 --> 01:28:58,760
Speaker 1: He throws the ball up. Why wouldn't he consequence free? Right?

1622
01:28:59,080 --> 01:29:01,880
Speaker 1: At worst, we're gonna get five yards and we're gonna

1623
01:29:01,880 --> 01:29:05,479
Speaker 1: get a replay a third down. They didn't throw the flag,

1624
01:29:06,560 --> 01:29:09,040
Speaker 1: So what did that do? Well, what it did was

1625
01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:13,200
Speaker 1: it made the down count and it's an incomplete pass,

1626
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:16,759
Speaker 1: so it stops the clock and Wake has to punt.

1627
01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:19,920
Speaker 1: And guess what George Tech did. March right down the field,

1628
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:23,320
Speaker 1: kicked field goal, tied the game go into overtime, win

1629
01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:28,000
Speaker 1: the game flat out stole the game from Wake Forest. No,

1630
01:29:28,040 --> 01:29:31,000
Speaker 1: not many people will care. It won't create an outrage

1631
01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:34,440
Speaker 1: campaign because it was just Wake Forest. Here's the situation.

1632
01:29:35,320 --> 01:29:38,920
Speaker 1: Yet again, college football has allowed itself to be a

1633
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:44,080
Speaker 1: laughing stop, and college football officiating has fundamentally changed the

1634
01:29:44,120 --> 01:29:48,160
Speaker 1: outcome of a game. I, as you know, am always

1635
01:29:48,200 --> 01:29:51,960
Speaker 1: the first one to tell you that blown calls don't

1636
01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:56,680
Speaker 1: decide games. However, there are instances where a game in

1637
01:29:56,880 --> 01:30:01,599
Speaker 1: any other case is over except for a call that

1638
01:30:01,840 --> 01:30:04,000
Speaker 1: makes it not be over. Like this is one of

1639
01:30:04,040 --> 01:30:06,640
Speaker 1: those situations. So I was going back and forth with

1640
01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:13,120
Speaker 1: some people about this today. I don't know what started this,

1641
01:30:13,479 --> 01:30:16,439
Speaker 1: but I posted that earlier today and then some people

1642
01:30:16,479 --> 01:30:18,479
Speaker 1: came in my mentions and they said, oh, you're gonna

1643
01:30:18,479 --> 01:30:20,760
Speaker 1: point that out, but not point this out. And they

1644
01:30:20,800 --> 01:30:23,320
Speaker 1: were showing like missed holding calls in the Penn State game,

1645
01:30:24,120 --> 01:30:27,280
Speaker 1: and I watched the clips and absolutely I think those

1646
01:30:27,320 --> 01:30:30,439
Speaker 1: are missholding calls. If you think that is equal to

1647
01:30:30,479 --> 01:30:34,280
Speaker 1: what we're talking about here in terms of outrage, I

1648
01:30:34,280 --> 01:30:39,280
Speaker 1: don't agree with you, because holding, even the egregious missed

1649
01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:43,639
Speaker 1: holding calls, even an egregious missed face mask. It's still

1650
01:30:43,680 --> 01:30:46,120
Speaker 1: a play moving at one hundred miles an hour, And

1651
01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:49,160
Speaker 1: in the case of holding, it's a judgment call. Hopefully

1652
01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:51,960
Speaker 1: you're making proper judgment on it. But at least I

1653
01:30:52,040 --> 01:30:55,800
Speaker 1: kind of somewhat get when holding calls are missed. This

1654
01:30:56,040 --> 01:30:59,559
Speaker 1: is academic. To see that a guy is in the

1655
01:30:59,560 --> 01:31:01,920
Speaker 1: neutrals on at the snap. To see that a guy's

1656
01:31:01,960 --> 01:31:06,479
Speaker 1: off sides requires two things ey sight and a flag

1657
01:31:06,479 --> 01:31:09,519
Speaker 1: in your pocket. I could take someone on day one

1658
01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:12,960
Speaker 1: who knows nothing about this sport, line them up right here.

1659
01:31:13,080 --> 01:31:15,479
Speaker 1: They're on the line of scrimmage. It's a beautiful thing.

1660
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:18,200
Speaker 1: They put an official right there. It's called the line judge,

1661
01:31:18,280 --> 01:31:20,559
Speaker 1: and his job is to just look across the field

1662
01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:23,280
Speaker 1: and if someone is in between him and the ball,

1663
01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:26,920
Speaker 1: it means they're off sides, and we're gonna throw a

1664
01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:30,120
Speaker 1: flag until the game's on the line, in which case

1665
01:31:30,160 --> 01:31:32,479
Speaker 1: we don't throw a flag. So now we get in

1666
01:31:32,520 --> 01:31:35,479
Speaker 1: a situation where I want to remind you now, Georgia

1667
01:31:35,520 --> 01:31:37,519
Speaker 1: Tech happened to be in this game. Georgia Tech, a

1668
01:31:37,520 --> 01:31:40,519
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, beats Clemson. They storm the field,

1669
01:31:41,320 --> 01:31:45,120
Speaker 1: they got fined, They owe the ACC money. Jake Dickert's

1670
01:31:45,200 --> 01:31:47,240
Speaker 1: the new head coach at Wake. Had he stepped to

1671
01:31:47,280 --> 01:31:50,920
Speaker 1: a podium yesterday and trashed this, he would have been

1672
01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:54,400
Speaker 1: spot on and he would have gotten fined. You know

1673
01:31:54,439 --> 01:31:57,479
Speaker 1: what the ACC league office had to do, They had

1674
01:31:57,520 --> 01:32:01,800
Speaker 1: to do nothing. They chose to release a statement where

1675
01:32:01,800 --> 01:32:05,200
Speaker 1: they admitted they messed up. And that's it. That's it.

1676
01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:09,360
Speaker 1: You know, your livelihoods based on you winning football games.

1677
01:32:09,880 --> 01:32:13,880
Speaker 1: Those players, they don't get a do over. But what

1678
01:32:13,880 --> 01:32:15,639
Speaker 1: we're gonna do is we're gonna say we screwed up

1679
01:32:16,280 --> 01:32:19,040
Speaker 1: something totally within our power. We screwed up. We don't

1680
01:32:19,080 --> 01:32:21,559
Speaker 1: owe you any money. You know you owe you owe

1681
01:32:21,640 --> 01:32:24,400
Speaker 1: us money when you screw up, or when you point

1682
01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:26,479
Speaker 1: out accurately that we screw up. We don't owe you

1683
01:32:26,520 --> 01:32:29,839
Speaker 1: a dime when we screw up and we cost you something.

1684
01:32:30,880 --> 01:32:37,000
Speaker 1: College football, billion dollar industry, nickel and dime officiating mechanism.

1685
01:32:37,640 --> 01:32:40,840
Speaker 1: And again, no one really has to answer for it.

1686
01:32:40,960 --> 01:32:44,200
Speaker 1: There's no transparency. And even when they tell you someone

1687
01:32:44,200 --> 01:32:47,000
Speaker 1: had to answer for it, I guarantee you whoever blew

1688
01:32:47,040 --> 01:32:49,920
Speaker 1: that call, they may sit out a couple of weeks,

1689
01:32:50,080 --> 01:32:53,120
Speaker 1: they'll eventually just be on another crew and all's well,

1690
01:32:53,160 --> 01:32:56,160
Speaker 1: that doesn't end well, and that's what you have to

1691
01:32:56,160 --> 01:32:58,000
Speaker 1: deal with. That's what you got to swallow. It's college

1692
01:32:58,000 --> 01:33:02,200
Speaker 1: football officiating. What can we do about it? Boy? Oh boy,

1693
01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:08,439
Speaker 1: part of day one of my college Football commissionership. Let's

1694
01:33:08,479 --> 01:33:10,479
Speaker 1: react to the apeopole. Then I'll give you some best

1695
01:33:10,479 --> 01:33:14,160
Speaker 1: bets and we'll be out of here. Uh well, the

1696
01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:16,720
Speaker 1: ap Poles out. That's about the most I can say

1697
01:33:16,720 --> 01:33:21,680
Speaker 1: for the Apeopole. It's week six. It's week six, and

1698
01:33:21,760 --> 01:33:25,120
Speaker 1: I am convinced a vast block of the voters have

1699
01:33:25,240 --> 01:33:28,679
Speaker 1: not watched many of these teams. Let's just start talking

1700
01:33:28,720 --> 01:33:31,840
Speaker 1: about it. This thing is generated by flex power. Let's

1701
01:33:31,880 --> 01:33:36,759
Speaker 1: start talking about it. Arizona State is twenty fifth, they're back, okay, Virginia,

1702
01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:39,360
Speaker 1: Brigham Young, Illinois, Notre Dame. I don't have that big

1703
01:33:39,360 --> 01:33:42,240
Speaker 1: a problem with twenty one through twenty five. So Michigan's

1704
01:33:42,240 --> 01:33:44,599
Speaker 1: at number twenty, and then we get to a really

1705
01:33:44,640 --> 01:33:48,439
Speaker 1: really muddy part of the a people. Missouri's at nineteen.

1706
01:33:48,920 --> 01:33:51,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you why Missouri's at nineteen. Most of

1707
01:33:51,240 --> 01:33:55,000
Speaker 1: the voters haven't watched them. That's it. That's it. They

1708
01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:58,320
Speaker 1: haven't lost a game. They've been pretty dominant. People haven't

1709
01:33:58,360 --> 01:34:01,519
Speaker 1: watched them because it's too much to ask for voters

1710
01:34:01,560 --> 01:34:04,599
Speaker 1: to watch games. Florida State is at eighteen. They dropped

1711
01:34:04,600 --> 01:34:09,240
Speaker 1: ten spots. Yeah, it feels about fair. Georgia Tech at seventeen.

1712
01:34:10,280 --> 01:34:14,880
Speaker 1: Why well, they got dropped. They won a game yesterday

1713
01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:17,240
Speaker 1: and got dropped. Although we just talked about it, it

1714
01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:19,240
Speaker 1: was a blown call. Maybe someone looked and said, I'm

1715
01:34:19,240 --> 01:34:24,360
Speaker 1: gonna punish them if the ACC officials don't. That's cold. Actually,

1716
01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:26,040
Speaker 1: it's not the worst logic in the world though, So

1717
01:34:26,080 --> 01:34:27,840
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna get mad at it. But number

1718
01:34:27,880 --> 01:34:33,599
Speaker 1: sixteen I'm pretty mad about. Vanderbilt is number sixteen. I'll

1719
01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:36,720
Speaker 1: get back to that in just a second. Just circle Vanderbilt.

1720
01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:41,960
Speaker 1: Tennessee's fifteen. Iowa State is at fourteen. Iowa State is

1721
01:34:42,200 --> 01:34:45,680
Speaker 1: so underrated right now. Iowa State at fourteen despite the

1722
01:34:45,680 --> 01:34:48,599
Speaker 1: fact that they've beaten Kansas State in another country. They

1723
01:34:48,640 --> 01:34:52,160
Speaker 1: beat Iowa, they beat Arizona, they went on the road

1724
01:34:52,160 --> 01:34:56,599
Speaker 1: to Jonesboro, Arkansas for good measure, and beat our Arkansas State.

1725
01:34:56,680 --> 01:34:59,800
Speaker 1: And I as sure as I say that, someone's gonna say, oh, yeah,

1726
01:34:59,840 --> 01:35:04,800
Speaker 1: but those teams are good. Yeah, yeah, Okay, tell me

1727
01:35:04,840 --> 01:35:11,639
Speaker 1: Penn State's best win Villanova fiu, Hey, what's Texas's best win?

1728
01:35:12,160 --> 01:35:14,519
Speaker 1: In fact, if you look at the top ten there,

1729
01:35:15,280 --> 01:35:19,960
Speaker 1: Penn State, inexplicably is still ranked number seven in the country.

1730
01:35:20,120 --> 01:35:23,599
Speaker 1: Texas is nine. I'm gonna read you their combined wins.

1731
01:35:23,960 --> 01:35:26,880
Speaker 1: Stop me when you hear an impressive win. San Jose State,

1732
01:35:27,280 --> 01:35:34,880
Speaker 1: utep SAM Houston, Florida International, Nevada, Villanova. I got undefeated

1733
01:35:34,960 --> 01:35:37,240
Speaker 1: Iowa State sitting out of the top ten with three

1734
01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:40,920
Speaker 1: Power four wins. I got Vandy sitting there at sixteenth,

1735
01:35:41,040 --> 01:35:43,439
Speaker 1: went and blew out Virginia Tech in their building, went

1736
01:35:43,479 --> 01:35:45,920
Speaker 1: and blew out South Carolina in their building. They've run

1737
01:35:45,920 --> 01:35:48,960
Speaker 1: it up on everyone, but they're not in the top ten.

1738
01:35:49,680 --> 01:35:51,160
Speaker 1: I got a team with a loss sitting there at

1739
01:35:51,240 --> 01:35:53,800
Speaker 1: number seven and no good wins. I got a team

1740
01:35:53,800 --> 01:35:57,320
Speaker 1: with a loss at nine and no good wins. So

1741
01:35:58,200 --> 01:36:02,000
Speaker 1: why is that? Well, you're punished because your crime is

1742
01:36:02,080 --> 01:36:05,640
Speaker 1: your logo is the Vanderbilt logo, Your logo is the

1743
01:36:05,640 --> 01:36:09,080
Speaker 1: Missouri logo, your logo is the Iowa State logo. For

1744
01:36:09,120 --> 01:36:12,320
Speaker 1: the third week in a row. I'm saying this, Vanderbilt's

1745
01:36:12,360 --> 01:36:16,719
Speaker 1: not invited to the party. Texas, is Missouri not invited

1746
01:36:16,760 --> 01:36:19,439
Speaker 1: to the party? Penn State just was. I went back

1747
01:36:19,479 --> 01:36:22,559
Speaker 1: and forth with some people about this Friday. Penn State

1748
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:25,840
Speaker 1: was at that point sitting top five. I have been

1749
01:36:25,920 --> 01:36:29,320
Speaker 1: doing rankings on Thursdays on this show. Even before Penn

1750
01:36:29,320 --> 01:36:32,800
Speaker 1: State lost, I had them at tenth. I think they've

1751
01:36:32,800 --> 01:36:36,160
Speaker 1: been overrated already. Now they lost a game. Penn State,

1752
01:36:36,240 --> 01:36:39,439
Speaker 1: with a loss is still ranked higher in the ap

1753
01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:44,360
Speaker 1: pole than I had them ranked before they lost the game. Why.

1754
01:36:44,840 --> 01:36:48,400
Speaker 1: Because I believe in this crazy concept that once the

1755
01:36:48,479 --> 01:36:53,480
Speaker 1: season starts, you should throw your preseason predictions in the garbage,

1756
01:36:53,760 --> 01:36:57,160
Speaker 1: throw your preseason thoughts in the garbage, especially after you've

1757
01:36:57,160 --> 01:37:00,280
Speaker 1: got four weeks of results under your belt. I don't

1758
01:37:00,320 --> 01:37:02,200
Speaker 1: even care what I thought about Penn State in the

1759
01:37:02,240 --> 01:37:05,320
Speaker 1: preseason because now I've seen him play four times, or

1760
01:37:05,400 --> 01:37:08,559
Speaker 1: Texas or Iowa State, or because I've seen him play

1761
01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:11,680
Speaker 1: four times, I didn't think. I didn't think Vanderbilt was

1762
01:37:11,720 --> 01:37:13,720
Speaker 1: going to be a top twenty five team. But now

1763
01:37:13,800 --> 01:37:17,120
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt's played multiple games and they clearly have a better

1764
01:37:17,160 --> 01:37:19,719
Speaker 1: resume than several teams in the top ten. But they're

1765
01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:22,000
Speaker 1: not in the top ten because you don't watch them

1766
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:25,920
Speaker 1: play and you have an AP vote. You don't watch

1767
01:37:25,960 --> 01:37:29,040
Speaker 1: Missouri play, you have an AP vote. And then I

1768
01:37:29,080 --> 01:37:32,360
Speaker 1: am also convinced there's another portion of the AP votership

1769
01:37:32,760 --> 01:37:34,640
Speaker 1: that gives benefit of the doubt to big brands. Of

1770
01:37:34,640 --> 01:37:37,799
Speaker 1: course they do, but they also think to themselves, well, Vandy,

1771
01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:39,640
Speaker 1: you know what, if they want my vote, they can

1772
01:37:39,680 --> 01:37:43,120
Speaker 1: go prove it Saturday against Alabama. What did Penn State

1773
01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:47,240
Speaker 1: have to prove? What did Texas have to prove that

1774
01:37:47,400 --> 01:37:52,000
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt has to prove? And you're also being predictive. You're

1775
01:37:52,040 --> 01:37:55,760
Speaker 1: also thinking, I don't expect Vanderbilt to be there in

1776
01:37:55,840 --> 01:37:58,960
Speaker 1: the end. Therefore I won't put them there now, like

1777
01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:01,519
Speaker 1: it would be any crime to put them there and

1778
01:38:01,560 --> 01:38:05,240
Speaker 1: then adjust if they do lose, you know, like any

1779
01:38:05,360 --> 01:38:09,559
Speaker 1: sane person would handle a merit based ranking. I've done

1780
01:38:09,600 --> 01:38:13,519
Speaker 1: the jpeople for so long power ratings that I've looked

1781
01:38:13,560 --> 01:38:15,519
Speaker 1: at this from a distance and I said, I cannot

1782
01:38:15,560 --> 01:38:18,599
Speaker 1: believe people get into the world of ranking teams. This

1783
01:38:18,640 --> 01:38:22,240
Speaker 1: is why you people are why Oklahoma's at number five.

1784
01:38:23,520 --> 01:38:26,720
Speaker 1: People have problems with that CAUs mateers out. I say

1785
01:38:26,760 --> 01:38:30,439
Speaker 1: the same thing, It doesn't matter if he's out. This

1786
01:38:30,560 --> 01:38:33,000
Speaker 1: is not a power rating. It's not about what you

1787
01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:37,160
Speaker 1: think they will be without him. Wait for the games

1788
01:38:37,160 --> 01:38:39,679
Speaker 1: to happen. No one cares about your predictions. You guys

1789
01:38:39,760 --> 01:38:42,559
Speaker 1: suck at predicting. If you didn't, you would win money

1790
01:38:42,600 --> 01:38:45,040
Speaker 1: on this. But you don't, So no one cares about

1791
01:38:45,040 --> 01:38:49,000
Speaker 1: what you're predicting. Ranked teams based on their current resume

1792
01:38:49,280 --> 01:38:52,479
Speaker 1: and then adjust accordingly. That's why Oklahoma should be five.

1793
01:38:52,800 --> 01:38:57,759
Speaker 1: Maybe OU's low at five. Ole Miss is up nine spots. Finally,

1794
01:38:57,840 --> 01:39:01,160
Speaker 1: so ole Miss getting some credit. Miami three, Oregon two,

1795
01:39:01,280 --> 01:39:05,200
Speaker 1: Ohio State one. By the way, imagine predicting that three

1796
01:39:05,360 --> 01:39:10,280
Speaker 1: through six there. Imagine it's July media days and I

1797
01:39:10,400 --> 01:39:12,960
Speaker 1: go on air and I say, you know, I think

1798
01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:17,360
Speaker 1: by October, I see Miami and ole Miss in Oklahoma

1799
01:39:17,400 --> 01:39:20,200
Speaker 1: and A and m All in the top seven. I

1800
01:39:20,280 --> 01:39:22,160
Speaker 1: see them all ranked to head of Penn State and

1801
01:39:22,240 --> 01:39:25,920
Speaker 1: Texas and Alabama and Georgia. By then, they would have

1802
01:39:25,960 --> 01:39:29,320
Speaker 1: called me clickbait. Paates so fast, And as it turns out,

1803
01:39:29,360 --> 01:39:31,599
Speaker 1: I would have been right about all of it, because,

1804
01:39:31,640 --> 01:39:35,160
Speaker 1: as we have found out, not everything people say that

1805
01:39:35,200 --> 01:39:38,719
Speaker 1: you disagree with is clickbait. Some of it could really

1806
01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:41,360
Speaker 1: just be a true, authentic difference of opinion. Some of

1807
01:39:41,439 --> 01:39:44,920
Speaker 1: it could even be there, right and you're wrong. Wo'st

1808
01:39:44,920 --> 01:39:47,160
Speaker 1: to amongst us would have thunk it? Yeah, Ohio State

1809
01:39:47,200 --> 01:39:51,519
Speaker 1: and Oregon they are clearly the one and two favorites

1810
01:39:51,560 --> 01:39:53,559
Speaker 1: to win the Big Ten right now, and I'm really

1811
01:39:53,560 --> 01:39:56,080
