1
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: And welcome to Lake Kegs Live. It is Thursday evening,

2
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: November seventeenth year over Laura twenty twenty two. Hey, what

3
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: if you're seeing exactly what they want you to see?

4
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: What if you're hearing exactly what they want to hear,

5
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: You're jam pack. We are high topping frosty downtown Nashville, Tennessee.

6
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: We're on the air a little bit earlier than normal

7
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: because I've got to be at the airport in like

8
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 1: under two hours, so we got a hurry. But we've

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: got to do it responsibly and that we will do tonight.

10
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: We've got upset alerts, I've got several games that we

11
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: need to look at. We have got a just a

12
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: loaded mail bag. Dare I say jam packed is the

13
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: mail bag tonight? We're going everywhere from coaching searches, to

14
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: staff moves, to some cultural issues, which is code for

15
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: you've lost too many games. Most of the time. We

16
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: got recruiting wars going on best bets. I've got a

17
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: lot of stuff to get to and somehow we're going

18
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: to do it in about an hour to lose. France

19
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: is tuned in. That is a fact, because I just

20
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 1: saw it in the live chat Pikeville, Kentucky. A little

21
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: more believable, also tuned in Gainesville, Georgia, Papano Beach, Florida.

22
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: We are, as I sit here right now, just after

23
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: five thirty in the Central time zone on Thursday, less

24
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: than three hundred away, less than three hundred subs away

25
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: from one hundred and fifty thousand. We are so close

26
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: that if you listen to this tomorrow you can go

27
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: ahead and celebrate with us. I think we've already surpassed it.

28
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: I can't, I mean, I can believe it. Actually, some

29
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: others in the building Bradley may have doubted you. I

30
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: didn't doubt you. We set the goal for New Year's Day,

31
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: remember that, like three weeks ago, and all of a sudden,

32
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: now you're doing it before Thanksgiving. So I want to

33
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: preemptively thank you. But let's go ahead and get it

34
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: over the finish line, because then the next goal is

35
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: what colin a million? I guess. Yeah, so one hundred

36
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand subs. Ironically, on the night where I

37
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: fly to LA where we were when we hit one

38
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: hundred thousand subs, Look at God, unbelievable. All right, let's

39
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: go upset alert time We do this every Thursday night.

40
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: We put a scale one to ten. How concerned am

41
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: I for the favorites in these games? Do you know

42
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: Bedlam is this weekend Oklahoma and Oklahoma State? I said

43
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: that in the reverse order, cause oh used the home

44
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: team here. The line on the game seven and a half,

45
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: Sooner is by seven and a half. And I was

46
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: doing a hit with someone in radio earlier this week

47
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: and they said, could you explain this line to me?

48
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 1: And my only explanation is Oklahoma State's offense has evaporated.

49
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: No one knows where it went. It's like a missing

50
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: persons report, but eleven persons and the production that they

51
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: were producing earlier this year. You know, Lincoln Riley was

52
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: a head coach of one of these teams in this

53
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: game last year. Some people tell you time flies, but

54
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: that feels like about seventeen years ago that Lincoln Riley

55
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: was last coaching in Norman and they lost this game?

56
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: Did Oklahoma last year? Thirty seven? Thirty three? I don't

57
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: know what to think. Really, we get in that time

58
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: of year every year, the second to last and last

59
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: weekends of the regular season. You never know the level

60
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: of play you're getting from a team because you never

61
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: really know what their mentality collectively is. Once their preseason

62
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: goals and even their mid season recalibrated goals are off

63
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: the table, you hope that they just fight because of

64
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: their competitors, and Mike Gundy's program has always done that.

65
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: I just think that's why this number is where it is.

66
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: But Oklahoma just went and lost to West Virginia last week.

67
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: Points spreads aren't always indicative of what you just did.

68
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: I understand all that, but I guess the way I'm

69
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: gonna sum it up is I feel a little better

70
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: about where Oklahoma is right now. But this is about

71
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: upset alert meter and about how likely it is to happen.

72
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: I got to throw an eight on this because I

73
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: have no feel for the game. We certainly didn't bet

74
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: it earlier this week. I have a slight, slight lean

75
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: to Oklahoma, but that's about it. Slightly. Either one of

76
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: these teams could win thirty one to thirteen and I

77
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't be shocked. I wouldn't be shocked at all. So

78
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: with that in mind, I'm gonna put an eight. That

79
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: is a that's a paper popper of an upset number. There.

80
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: Who does lsu play quick. Everybody who does LSU play

81
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: this weekend, they play UAB. Huh what's that number? Oh,

82
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: try fourteen and a half LSU minus fourteen and a

83
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: half and you think, ooh, that's a typo. Right, Surely

84
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: the SEC championship bound LSU Tigers against woeful at times

85
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: this year UAB got to be favored by more than that, right, No,

86
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: that's wrong. They're not on anyone's radar. This game's not

87
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: on anyone's radar outside of the two fan bases. I

88
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: know that you know that most of you LSU fans,

89
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: if you're being real with yourselves, you're talking amongst each other.

90
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: You sat down at the barbecue joint for lunch today

91
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: and you said, if we can stay healthy this weekend,

92
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: no one is even paying attention to the possibility of

93
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: a loss. If we can stay healthy this weekend and

94
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: then we can go dish it out to A and

95
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: M next weekend, we give ourselves a chance to make

96
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: the playoff. An outside chance maybe, who knows, but a chance.

97
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: And here's the thing, you don't need to be talking

98
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: like that when you're only favored by two scorers in

99
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: your home building. The biggest crime that's been committed, though

100
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: between either one of these two teams happened much earlier

101
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,239
Speaker 1: in the year. Now, Colin, I know you've got LSU's

102
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: schedule up there. I'm gonna ask you, do you have

103
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: uab's schedule just by chance? Oh my goodness, he's got it.

104
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: I don't want you to look at week one, not

105
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: week two, not week three. UAB committed the cardinal sin.

106
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: They lost to Food. In week four, they fell to

107
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: Rice twenty eight to twenty four. They're not beating LSU.

108
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm not going to allow it to happen. You do

109
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: not lose to Food and beat a division winner in

110
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: the SEC. By the way, UAB is zero to four

111
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,799
Speaker 1: straight up and against the number this year on the road,

112
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: So I'm going to take the Tigers to win. I'm

113
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: gonna put a two on this now. Twos don't normally

114
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: correlate to lines that are only fourteen and a half.

115
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: I feel good. I think Brian Kelly's got them locked in.

116
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: You want to do a little research, I don't have

117
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: time to you right now. Go check out his record

118
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: as a head coach in November. He gets teams locked in.

119
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: They don't really lose focus. Even back at Notre Dame.

120
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: They didn't Illinois at me. Michigan kind of making an

121
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: executive decision on this game. I'm going to tell you

122
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: that it's a three for me on the upset alert meter.

123
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: For those unfamiliar with what happened today, Brett Beelama found

124
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: out he lost his mom. That's the head coach now

125
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: at Illinois, so our condulencens go out to him and

126
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: his family. I'm not, as a result, going to really

127
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: break the game down much. I'll tell you that I

128
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: think Michigan is favored here. Obviously they should be favored,

129
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: but they've won seventeen straight as a double digit favorite.

130
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: Michigan got in this little situation last year where we

131
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: saw that Ohio State game coming and they were playing

132
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: with no margin for error. It's the same this year,

133
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 1: only they haven't lost a game, but we all know

134
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: there's no margin for error here. And not only did

135
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 1: they play the way they needed to before the Ohio

136
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: State game, immediately afterwards, they just roasted Iowa in the

137
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: Big Ten championship game. So I don't think focus is

138
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: an issue. There is no prayer they're overlooking Illinois. At least,

139
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: I don't think they are It may take them a

140
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: little while to put them away because Illinois is a

141
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: very good defensive team. So is Michigan, so it may

142
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: look like a rock fight for a half or you know,

143
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: a little over a half. I think they'll eventually pull away,

144
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: and I think I think Michigan wins this game. I'm

145
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: going to put a three on it, so about the

146
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: same I put with LSU thereabouts. Let's go to the

147
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: next game, though, because this is one that has my focus.

148
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: Florida last week drug South Carolina. Florida now goes on

149
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: the road this week to play the University of Nashville.

150
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: You might know them as Vanderbilt Happy Door Revember everyone.

151
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: By the way, I have concerns. I've been seeing Billy

152
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: Napiers praises for like a month now. I have concerns

153
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: about this. They've been playing really good ball ever since

154
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: the Georgia game. They lost to Georgia, then they beat

155
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: A and M, they beat South Carolina, neither of those

156
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: games are close, and then they've got Vanderbilt this week. Now.

157
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: I think it's a good thing for both teams that

158
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: Vandy won last week. Good for Vandy because it's validation that, yes,

159
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: they are indeed improving. It's good for Florida because you

160
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: need to have your attention on them this weekend at Vanderbilt,

161
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: not one against Kentucky last week. I would have even

162
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: greater concerns. As it stands, Vandy's one of our best

163
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: bets of the week. We got him at plus fourteen,

164
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: mid thirties at kickoff, and I'm never a fan of

165
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: these Florida teams having to play in this. I don't

166
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: know what in the world you guys did to prepare

167
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: for it this week, but you're probably not ready for

168
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: it now. Here's the plus side. Florida is so superior

169
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: athletically up to an including that guy fifteen there at quarterback,

170
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: that you could render all that a moot point. But

171
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: I do think it matters. If it's any consolation, it

172
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: should warm up into the forties by the time the

173
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: second half rolls around. So there's that Vandy can bleed you.

174
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: They ran it for over two thirty last week. So

175
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: if you are lazy or sloppy, I guess is the

176
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: right word early on, if you turn the ball over,

177
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: which Florida has not done hardly at all lately. But

178
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: if you do it, if it were to happen out

179
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: of the blue. This would be the spot for it

180
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: to happen. Vandy can shave two possessions off of what

181
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: you otherwise would have gotten in this game and just

182
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: make you execute at a higher level. I'm putting a

183
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: five on it. There you go. This is another game

184
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: with about a two touchdown spread. And you see I'm

185
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: a little more elevated on the upset alert meter here

186
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: it's a five. Let's pay attention to it. I don't.

187
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: Here's the worst part. The worst part is when a

188
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: Southern team, this is about as close as you come

189
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: in the South to playing in Big ten weather. You

190
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: go to either Arkansas or sometimes Lexington or Nashville in

191
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: late November. That's about as close as it comes. And you,

192
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: mark my words, if Florida were to get down at all,

193
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: you know what the camera shot is. The camera shot

194
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: is about two or three either dbs or skill position players,

195
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: perimeter players, smallest guys on your team especially. Don't even

196
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: let me find the special teams guys on the sideline

197
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: and they're just all standing together to conserve body heat,

198
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: and they're lifeless and there is no emotion whatsoever. Can't

199
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: have that can't have that jump on them early if

200
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: you're Florida. I got a five on that one. And last,

201
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: but not least, speaking of the all the sudden off

202
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: everyone's radar, Kentucky Wildcats. They are at home as a

203
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: twenty two and a half point dog against the dogs

204
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: of Georgia. Kirby Smart's right. I heard him talking earlier

205
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: this week. He said, don't care what they did last week,

206
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: We'll get a totally different version of them. I do

207
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: believe that. Think you'll get just a surprisingly inspired effort

208
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: from Kentucky. But I'm not teeing the upset up at all,

209
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: because the problem is, you can be inspired and focused

210
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: and zoned in all you want to, you still have

211
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: to execute. Kentucky can't execute offensively at a high enough

212
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: level to challenge Georgia unless Georgia helps them out again

213
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: and again and then again and probably at least one

214
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: more time again. So absent that, and I can't predict that,

215
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: And absent here's the other thing that could come into play. Theoretically,

216
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: this should be a double do down spot for Georgia.

217
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: They had a du up spot against Florida. They deliver,

218
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: then they have the Tennessee game. Then they go on

219
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: the road to Mississippi State, and notice all of these

220
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: boxes are getting checked green check mark for Georgia. This

221
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: was the stretch which every one of us looked at

222
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: in the preseason. If Georgia drops a game, it will

223
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: be in this stretch. And so you've got a fourth

224
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: week now, presumably if some of the best competition that

225
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: you're facing all year. It's the only back to back

226
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: road spot that they've had all year, So that stuff

227
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: could matter. And that's not even Kentucky. That's just dynamics

228
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: that could matter, I think, quite frankly, that's why this

229
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 1: number is not twenty four or more. So I'm gonna

230
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put a two and a half, not even

231
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: a three two and a half on the upset alert meter. There.

232
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: I have told you what two shows in a row now,

233
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: and this will make the third and final Big Week

234
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: in Tampa, Big Week in Barbersville, West Virginia. Brand new

235
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors are opening. You know the rules.

236
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm not going to reread them to you. If you

237
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: prove to me that you attend the grand opening it's Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

238
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: If you prove to me. You're there at either one

239
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: of those locations at any point this weekend, ten of you,

240
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: randomly selected are going to take home a Chali of

241
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: Supremacy or Chellis, since that is technically singular. Here you go.

242
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: This is what you need to know. Tampa, Florida. First

243
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: Academy location in Tampa. It's like a whole new world

244
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: for you guys. The address seventy two thirty US nineteen North.

245
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: That's in Panela's Park, by the way, or is it

246
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: Peneus Park. Either way, it's seventy two thirty US nineteen

247
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: North in Barbersville, West Virginia, thirty Tanyard Station Drive, and

248
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: that is in the Tanyard Station shopping center. Hoops amongst

249
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: us hasn't frequented that place a time or two thirty

250
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: Tanyard Station Drive. These people, these fine folks at Academy

251
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: have looked at our show about a year and a

252
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: half ago and said we're going to take care of you.

253
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: And then they raised their wing and then we came

254
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: under them, and they have taken care of us ever since.

255
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: And so whenever they open a new location. This is

256
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: how we celebrate it as a people, as as an

257
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: entire group here because show wouldn't even be available if

258
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: it wasn't for Academy. Anything you need, they'll have, and

259
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: especially at those grand openings, they give a ton of

260
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: free stuff away anyway. If you can't get there in person,

261
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: Academy dot com and if you haven't had one of

262
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: these grand openings yet, these aren't the last ones. Everybody

263
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: else is shuttering their doors, and Academy got a new

264
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: store popping up every other day. I asked you to

265
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: submit some questions for the mail bag earlier today, really early,

266
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: since I knew we had an early show to get to,

267
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: and boy did you. I appreciate you guys being tuned in.

268
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: If you're already watching the live show, welcome to an

269
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: early edition of Late Kick and number two. Click that

270
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: thumbs up button for me, because when you start earlier

271
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: it throws people out of whack. I know some of

272
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: you are going to show up at like seven tonight

273
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: and say what happened? Well, you can watch the replay,

274
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: but we dove into the mail bag and we got

275
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: several juicy questions here, So let's start it off. Xavier

276
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: hits us up and says, is jimbo Fitcher a bad

277
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: culture hire. His last days at Florida State were tumultuous,

278
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: and now at A and M there are players quitting,

279
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: getting suspended, talks of massive amounts of an exodus. I

280
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: misread that one a mass exit. This in the transfer

281
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: portal after the season. Not to mention no Bowl game

282
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: from Winatchi Washington. Culture is a funny word, Xavier. I'm

283
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: gonna make a little generic kind of statement here because

284
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,719
Speaker 1: I really upfront want to tell you I don't think

285
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: a whole lot of people know the internal workings of

286
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: the A and M program, And most people who know

287
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: the internal workings are given that access in exchange for

288
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: keeping their mouths shut. There are exceptions, There are some

289
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: very plugged in people around A and M athletics. And

290
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: I'm not suggesting otherwise. I'm just saying we've entered that

291
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: time of year where you get generic consensus all over

292
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: the place. And what I mean by generic consensus you

293
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: hear recruiting all the time. Oh so and so was

294
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: bought and paid for? Really, how do you know? Oh

295
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: you can tell? How do you know? Though, Well, I mean,

296
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: look at look at this, look at the details around

297
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: his recruitment, But how do you know? And what happens

298
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: is one person says something, then three people say something,

299
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: then a hundred people say something, and things just get

300
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: accepted as truth absent any real details or facts. Now,

301
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: sometimes they happen to be true. Sometimes it is what

302
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: word do we want to use here? I think we

303
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: know what word we want to use here, at least

304
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: it is greatly exaggerated. Let's put it that way to

305
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: be safe. And so, yeah, I think there are a

306
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: lot of problems around the A and M program a

307
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: culture problem, Jibo Fisher being a culture problem. No, I'm

308
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: not ready to say that he has an antiquated offense

309
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: problem more so than anything there, and that has poisoned

310
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: the well with the specific way they have chosen to

311
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: recruit at Texas A and M with this last class, because,

312
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: as we talked about two weeks ago, if you dive

313
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: into the nil recruiting approach, you're totally free to do so,

314
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: but you do so, or at least you better do

315
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: so under the notion that you're going to have to

316
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: operate a little bit different way than what a classical

317
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: recruiting approach would have you operating under. In the classical

318
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: recruiting approach, you go recruit kids heads up against other programs,

319
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: and the ones who want to come to your program

320
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: they come to your program and then they either start

321
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: as freshmen if they're superstars, or they red shirt. But

322
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: I mean largely they're there because they want to be there,

323
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: because the program attracted them. In the NIL age, money

324
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: attracts a lot of kids, and it just so happens

325
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: that Texas A and M is where they play in

326
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: this case, but they're not attached as much as maybe

327
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: a kid would have been a generation to go. This

328
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: is the part where someone's going to take this out

329
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: of context and say kids shouldn't be paid according to JP. No,

330
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: that's not what I'm saying at all, quite the opposite.

331
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: But what I am saying is if you traffic in

332
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: it as heavy as A and M has chosen to do,

333
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: which again is well within their right to do, you're

334
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: gonna have to understand there is an immediate return that

335
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: is expected from a lot of those freshmen. Here's the

336
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: bad part, even if they haven't earned it. What about that?

337
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: Now you can look at that and say, shame on

338
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: that kid. He needs to sit over in the corner

339
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: and take it. Medicine doesn't work. Doesn't work when you

340
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: paid the kid to come there, doesn't work because the

341
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: kid can go anywhere and get paid to play football.

342
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: And all of those freshmen have the same thing in common.

343
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: They have not burned their penalty free transfer yet. So

344
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: they came in your program. This is the case everywhere.

345
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: A and M is just the one I'm talking about.

346
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: They come in your program, and whereas you used to

347
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: shut the door behind them and dead bolt it, you

348
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: have no access to the door at all anymore, period.

349
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: And they leave the door wide open, sometimes leave one

350
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: foot out the door, and they say, let me see

351
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: if I like it in here aka my true freshman season.

352
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: And if I don't like it, AKA, if I don't play,

353
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: then I'm out. Oh I'm taking the money with me.

354
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: By the way, that's the culture problem. That's now. If

355
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: you want to call that a culture problem, you can

356
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: define it however you want to. That's just the reality

357
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: of the situation. Because I have a strong suspicion that

358
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: if they would have won games this year because they

359
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: were running a better offensive system, then they would have

360
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: had less disgruntled players, which would have led to less

361
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: of the off field drama and turmoil. Some of it.

362
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: You've heard about a lot of it you hadn't heard about,

363
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: and therefore I wouldn't be fielding questions about whether or

364
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: not they have a culture problem out there. But that's

365
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: not the way it panned out. Therefore, this is what

366
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: we're talking about with Jimbo Fisher, the biggest question around there,

367
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: at least to me, it's not culture that's a factor.

368
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 1: But it's not culture nearly as much as what's he

369
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: gonna do with his offense? What's he gonna do with

370
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator? I think you'd be shocked at what a

371
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: ten win season would do for culture around College Station Texas.

372
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 1: Shocked on an unrelated note, will be there Monday and Tuesday.

373
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 1: Next question, Dustin hit us up. He said, what's the

374
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: most accurate metric to gauge how valuable a win is

375
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 1: at the time it happens versus how it looks towards

376
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: the end of the season. Beautifully worded question, Dustin, beautifully worded.

377
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: You know we talk about this all the time on

378
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: the show. Let me take a sip. This has some

379
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: caffeine in it tonight. I know I'm going to get

380
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: fired up answering this anyway, So we might as well.

381
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: We might as well vend diagram it. Here, Dustin is

382
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: asking how do we define the value of the win

383
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: when it happens? And that kind of goes over a

384
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 1: lot of folks' heads, not because you're too dumb to

385
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: grasp it, but it just doesn't stand out the way

386
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: it should stand out. He's saying what I've said for

387
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: a long time, or he's asking what I've said for

388
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: a long time. What I've said for a long time

389
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: is I can't stand the concept that I could play

390
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: you in Week one, everyone knowing you're a top ten team,

391
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: and then I injure your left tackle and your middle

392
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: linebacker also tears as ACL in a non contact situation.

393
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 1: I beat you twenty three thirteen, and then you have

394
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: some more attrition later in the year, and you just

395
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 1: end up precipitously dropping in terms of the caliber of

396
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: team you are. You end up being seven and five

397
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 1: on the year, And at the end of the campaign,

398
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: I'm told that my win over you is not a

399
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: quality win, in large part because the hurting I put

400
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: on you when I beat you led to you falling

401
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: off a cliff. That is not the way that you

402
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: most accurately gauge someone's strength of schedule. So what I've

403
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: always at least championed, if nothing else, is at least

404
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: defining the value of a win when you play the game. Okay,

405
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: so if I play you today, I want to define

406
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: the value of that win. Now, if there are extreme

407
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: circumstances where it is just blatantly obvious a team was

408
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: overrated by everyone, including odds makers, six weeks later, we

409
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: can go back and we can devalue that a little bit.

410
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: Or if you beat a team and they turn out

411
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: to look a whole lot better than they were in

412
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: week one, a whole lot better than anyone thought, that's

413
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: fine too. But what I would love to do to

414
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: answer the question is I would love to take the

415
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: AP ranking format out of this entirely, take any ranking

416
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: format out of it entirely. And what I would love

417
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: to do is I would love to take Vegas odds makers,

418
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: and I would love them to submit a power rating

419
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: each week of how they rate teams, the very chart

420
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: with which they use to put out point spreads, and

421
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: I would love to use that and check out the

422
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: teams you play. And I would love to define the

423
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: value of your wins that way, and I would love

424
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: to determine your strength of schedule that way because it's

425
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: the truest metric out there. The Big twelve right now,

426
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: the conversation around the Big twelve I'm gonna talk about

427
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: a little bit later is just a hot mess. Thus,

428
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: people are shocked that the value of a lot of

429
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: TCU's wins has gone down. Why because the teams they've

430
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: beaten have lost more games. We're talking about a conference

431
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: that plays a round robin schedule, so it's a mathematical

432
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,120
Speaker 1: certainty every week you have to have what we're there

433
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: are ten teams there, You're gonna have five wins and

434
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: five losses. Those five losses have to go somewhere, so

435
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: it's impossible for all of your wins to maintain their value.

436
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that the actual challenge you had that

437
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: Saturday was any less difficult. So I'm sitting on this

438
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: desk actually about two weeks ago, and I made what

439
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: I thought, and everyone in the building sands. One person

440
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: thought it was just a phenomenal metaphor, And I said,

441
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: I'm sitting over there. Emily Proud's sitting right here, and

442
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: I say to her, if I took a brand new

443
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: Doctor Pepper out of my bag and I popped the

444
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: top on it and I chugged five SIPs of it.

445
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: What would happen? My throat would be on fire because

446
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: I'm chugging soda that just got open, so it's really

447
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: really carbonated. Okay, So then I take the can it's

448
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: half full now, and I leave it on the desk

449
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: and we go away for three weeks, and then we

450
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: come back three weeks later, and you chug the other

451
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: five SIPs and you have no problem with it. It

452
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: would be pretty dumb to look over at me and say,

453
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: why did your throat burn so much? This is flat.

454
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: There's no challenge at all to drinking this. Or could

455
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: it be that even though that can look the same

456
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: on the outside, what's on the inside is a totally

457
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: different product than when I drink it three weeks ago.

458
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: It happens with sody. You don't think that could happen

459
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: with football teams. But I don't trust AP voters to

460
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: gauge that. I don't trust the playoff committee to gauge that.

461
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: I would trust oddsmakers to gauge that. That's what I

462
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: would love to do, And of course because I would

463
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: love to do that. We'll probably never do it. But

464
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: you tell me, honestly, does anyone out there, even if

465
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: you don't agree with me, do you really feel safe

466
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 1: that a committee full of people that may or may

467
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: not be watching all the games on Saturday is able

468
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: to tell you what the value on a game you

469
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: play two and a half months ago should have. And

470
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: it's a sliding scale week to week. Does anybody in

471
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: their right mind really think that is the most accurate

472
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: way to judge someone's strength of schedule. There's no way,

473
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 1: there's no way anyone thinks that. You may think you

474
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: have a better solution than mine, be my guest, that's

475
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: what the comment sections for. But there's no way that

476
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: anyone believes that. Someone telling me, well, look that when

477
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: when you played them in week two, it once upon

478
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,719
Speaker 1: a time was good, then it got great for two weeks,

479
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: but now it's not good at all because of what

480
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,959
Speaker 1: happened the last four weeks, And your players and your

481
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 1: coaches are sitting there saying nothing changed about the game

482
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 1: we played, nothing changed about the challenge we face that Saturday.

483
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 1: Like I told you, I get worked up because I

484
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: I this is one of those situations where I just

485
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: know I'm right, it's not even opinion and I can't

486
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: do anything about it. Next up, let's let's continue moving Jay,

487
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: he said, checking in from Roebucks, South Carolina. Mario versus

488
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: Napier in recruiting, who is winning the war so far?

489
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: We're talking about Mario Christophaul down at Miami. Billy Napier

490
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: at Florida. At Florida has been hot. Now I need

491
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 1: only direct your attention to a few recruitments like Rashata

492
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: Jade Rashoda's recruitment recently. That's a quarterback out of Pittsburgh, California.

493
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: Fools a lot of people. And I remember it feels

494
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: like ten years ago, but really it wasn't. His commitment

495
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: comes down to, among other programs, Miami and Florida, and

496
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: he commits to Miami and Florida was all worked up. Man,

497
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: they thought they had him. I was in this building.

498
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: I remember when the announcement came down, I think, and

499
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: I remember how that was the end of the world.

500
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: And I remember how there was a lot of talk

501
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: that Billy Napier is going to get run and recruiting

502
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: and Florida just doesn't have it. Put together like Miami.

503
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: Miami's going to be a machine, and Florida better get

504
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: their act together. Now. To put a finer point on that,

505
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: I came on this show and I said some things

506
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: that some of you think I should regret. I don't

507
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: regret it at all. I meant every word I said then,

508
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: and I think it was valid today. I look back

509
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: on it and think it was valid. And Colin, I

510
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: didn't give you the clip, but what the clip essentially

511
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: was was me saying I think Billy Napier's the right

512
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: guy for the job. I got no doubt about Napier's ability.

513
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: But what I do think is I think Florida as

514
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: a collective pun kind of intended as a collective, or

515
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: about two steps behind in the NIL game. It's fixable,

516
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: but I think there are about two steps behind right now.

517
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 1: I believe that was the case at the time. I

518
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: don't think that's the case anymore. I think that Gator

519
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 1: collective down there has their act together. How do we

520
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: know that, Well, last week, all of a sudden, Jade

521
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: and Roshada, who once broke Florida's heart to commit to Miami,

522
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 1: decommitted from Miami and committed to Florida. Now this is

523
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: one little salvo. It's not little. I mean, he's a

524
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: very highly rated quarterback. But it's one example of why

525
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: there's no skill in me answering this question. The question

526
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: is who's winning the war. These are like little micro

527
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: battles within larger battles that make up the war, which is,

528
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: by the way, not a war that's going to be

529
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: won over one recruiting cycle. And also the sands continue

530
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: to shift under everyone's feet, like every day, I would look,

531
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 1: here's what I've learned. I put this out when we're

532
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: shot a flip the other day, and I'll tell you

533
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: guys again, it's okay to feel good about landing big

534
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: commitments by all means. I mean, our folks over on

535
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: Swamp twenty four to seven wave the pom Poms. Just

536
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 1: be careful how publicly you celebrate, because this will not

537
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: be the last high profile flip. You will eventually be

538
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 1: victimized by one of these. Anyone who's been around recruiting

539
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: long enough understands it wasn't for the faint of heart

540
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: ten years ago. Now it will be that times ten

541
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: because of what you're allowed to do. And there's really

542
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: look I'm telling you, I know folks who are the

543
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: most plugged in in the world in this recruiting game.

544
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: The most plugged in in the world, Steve Wilfong, I think,

545
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: talks to about two hundred head coaches a day. It's wild.

546
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 1: I have sat there and tried to have dinner with

547
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: this man, and I can't get in a word because

548
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: every one of the biggest names in the sport are

549
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: hitting him up. And so my point is sometimes even

550
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: woolf Fong gets taken by surprise by this stuff. And therefore,

551
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: I'm telling you there's no way I'm about to tell

552
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: you who I think is winning a recruiting war. Hey,

553
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: you know who's winning the recruiting war, Bama. That's who's

554
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: running the recruiting war. Because they're still lapping everybody. They're

555
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: probably gonna finish overwhelmingly with a number one class again

556
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: this cycle. I just think that now it is getting

557
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: a little more difficult to just go into South Florida

558
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: and get anyone Nick Saban wants, so overall for the sport,

559
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: that's a good thing. Now. I've long maintained my stance

560
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: on how recruiting in Florida, Texas and California could level

561
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: out the playing field more than any playoff expansion. So

562
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: I'm not going down that road tonight. I don't have time.

563
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: But I don't think that my Miami has made their

564
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: last move here in this cycle either, let me just say.

565
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: And so I think that they're going to finish pretty strongly.

566
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: And here's what you need to remember. This is not

567
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: the old model. In the old model, you know, you

568
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: had the old adages, follow the visits, follow the relationships.

569
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: None of that anymore, none of it. It is who

570
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: can walk in your room at the eleventh hour with

571
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: the best nil offer. That's it. That's recruiting. You don't

572
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: have to feel good about it. I don't particularly love it,

573
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: but that's recruiting, which means there are no team leaves

574
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: to read. Sometimes, like we're coming up on Early Signing Day.

575
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: We'll be down in Fort Lauderdale and we'll do blowout

576
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,239
Speaker 1: coverage of early Signing Day over on the twenty four

577
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: seven Sports YouTube channel, which you should be subscribed to,

578
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: by the way, if you haven't already. We'll have stuff

579
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: that day. I can guarantee you that comes out of

580
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: the blue and it just stuns everybody, and you got folks.

581
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: I mean, we got Andrew Ivans and Cooper protagn and Singletary,

582
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: and we got Will Fong. I don't even want name

583
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: names cause I forget someone. We have an entire team

584
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: that's followed kids since they were freshmen in high school,

585
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: and they get stunned at the last minute. Why because

586
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: that's how NIL recruiting works. So I think that both

587
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: should be relatively happy with where they are right now.

588
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: But I think Florida has a particular amount of momentum

589
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: and a particular amount of confidence because a lot of

590
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: your greatest concerns back in spring have been eased, you know.

591
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: I think it kind of mirrors what they're doing on

592
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: the field right now. They lost to Georgia and they've

593
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: played great since then. Got to keep it going. But

594
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: they started off bumpy and recruiting this cycle. They have

595
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: performed great since then, So it's going to be really

596
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: fun to watch. I love that Mike Norvell and Florida

597
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: State are just left out of that and yet they're

598
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: playing better football than anybody in that state right now.

599
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: Just keep an eye just you never know. The winds

600
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: of change in NIL recruiting are very, very sudden and

601
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: very unexpected. Let's continue to move on here. Good mail

602
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: bags so far. Jonathan hit us up from West Palm Beach, Florida.

603
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: He said, which conference has the best set of stadium?

604
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: Good question, because that means more than one. At first,

605
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: I was just going to tell you the SEC, but

606
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: then I thought about the different criteria you may have. See, Jonathan,

607
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: you may be a scenery guy, and then we may

608
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: have like Jeffrey over here and he may be a

609
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: stark adherence to tradition guy. And then we may have

610
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: Megan over here and she just loves the rabbit insane atmosphere.

611
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: My answer is a different conference for all three of you,

612
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: is my point, because I like a combination of all

613
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: of them. So I'll start with the Big Ten. The

614
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: Big Ten laps the field when it comes to the

615
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: adherence to tradition blended with the incredible in stadium atmosphere.

616
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: We just showed b roll of Michigan Stadium, for example,

617
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: what I love and I grew up in the South,

618
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: so I never experienced it until I finally got to

619
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: go up there. What I love about Notre Dame Stadium,

620
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: Michigan is something that you never think about until you've

621
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: been all over the country and you go to all

622
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: these places. They forego millions of dollars in potential in

623
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: stadium ad sales to keep the inn stadium environment pristine.

624
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: In other words, they don't put forty seven different logos

625
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: all over the place that companies are paid for in

626
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: other words, advertising. They say, no, we know we could

627
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: have that money, but we're okay, We're doing good enough,

628
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: so we don't need to put an airline over here

629
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,719
Speaker 1: and a soft drink company over here, and a car

630
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: distributor over here. We're good. Keep your money, We'll be okay.

631
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: I love that. Love it when the places operate under

632
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: a different philosophy. Many, in fact, most places don't have

633
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,479
Speaker 1: a choice. Michigan can afford to roll however they want to,

634
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: so it can Notre Dame, so it can a lot

635
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: of these bigger northern powers because they have such massive

636
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: alumni bases, they don't need advertising dollars to meet their budget.

637
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: Some other places do, okay. The question is not who's

638
00:32:58,360 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: doing it right and who's doing it wrong. The question

639
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: is do I like the most? So these are mega stadiums.

640
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: A lot of them are over one hundred thousand seats.

641
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: The fan bases are fully invested. It's a great game

642
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: day atmosphere, and you have a pristine environment in a

643
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: lot of these stadiums that I appreciate. In the SEC,

644
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: I think you have the best of all worlds. I

645
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: think there's some of the most impressive venues in America.

646
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: There is not more passion anywhere in the country, and

647
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: that includes the Big Ten. The Big Ten's insane. There

648
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: are places now, there are places like Ohio State and

649
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: Michigan in a couple of weeks, that's as good as

650
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: anything in the country. Penn State wide out, that's as

651
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: good as anything in the country. I'm not saying there

652
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: aren't moments in the Big Ten. I'm saying, as a

653
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: collective one through fourteen about to be one through sixteen,

654
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: the game day atmospheres in the SEC are unmatched. And

655
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: they also have large venues, and they're also very loud,

656
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: and there's also a lot of tradition, and also a

657
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: lot of those buildings are very old, so they have

658
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: the best of everything. But I'll give you a surprise

659
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: contender here, since I'm about to head out there in

660
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: like an hour, the Pac twelve, which I have finally

661
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: gotten to see a lot more of if you're into

662
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: the scenery, if you're into the backdrop, if you're into

663
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: there being more to a college football game than just

664
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 1: what's going on right there inside that bowl. The PAC

665
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: twelve is for you. I was up at Addtson a

666
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. Brilliant backdrop. Everyone's got mountains, look

667
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: at cow. There won't be a meaningful football game played

668
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,720
Speaker 1: in that building in the next century or so, but man,

669
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: what a surrounding atmosphere. Have not been able to go to.

670
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: Arizona State will be at the Rose Bowl this weekend.

671
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: Been out there before. I think we all understand how

672
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: picturesque the San Gabriel Mountains can be. Also, Utah, You know,

673
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: Utah is a program that has not always been in

674
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: the PAC twelve. Obviously, so some of the older football

675
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: college football fans, they don't automatically Utah Pack twelve, Utah

676
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: Pac twelve. That doesn't snap in your mind like that.

677
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: But Utah's got the same thing going for him. And

678
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,479
Speaker 1: even though Brigham Young is not in the PAC twelve,

679
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna throw them in for good measure because

680
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: they're kind of out there. They're in the same state

681
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: as Utah, and they've got that. They got that insane

682
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: backdrop as well. So it depends on where you want

683
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: to go, depends on what you're into. It could be

684
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: Big ten, it could be Pack twelve, it could be SEC.

685
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: I think most people would lean SEC, but I can

686
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: make an argument for any of them. All Right, next up,

687
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 1: let's keep it rolling. What we got six oh five? Okay,

688
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: we're on pace. John from Gallatin, Tennessee. He said, how

689
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: much credit do you want for Greg sank saying the

690
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: SEC will likely get rid of divisions. Okay, there's a

691
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 1: lot to unpack you, but the first thing we need

692
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: to unpack is yes, I was right. Good for me,

693
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: Greg SANKI was speaking today over in South Carolina, and

694
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: actually our buddy Mark Ryan, who I do a hit

695
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: with every week via radio, good friend of the program,

696
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 1: he actually had a quote from Saki earlier today and

697
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: Sankie was talking about future scheduling and he said, apparently,

698
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: and I'm paraphrasing, he said, the future plan once O

699
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: you and Texas come here and you have a sixteen

700
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: team conference, the plan is to just do away with

701
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: divisions and just have one division. I guess you have

702
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 1: one through sixteen. You have a conference, there are no

703
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: divisions in there, and we're going to, I guess, take

704
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: the best two teams, regardless of where they play, and

705
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: we're gonna put them in the SEC championship game. And

706
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: if you watch this program, you're already saying, wow, that

707
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: sounds familiar. And yes, that's because we have lobbied for

708
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 1: that for quite a while. We're not the only ones,

709
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: but yes, we've been very vocal about this, So it's

710
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: good to hear that people in Birmingham have been tuned in.

711
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: The issue here is as basic as it gets. For

712
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: those of you wondering why this is such a big issue,

713
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 1: the issue is very basic. Teams don't play each other enough.

714
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 1: It's that simple. Georgia has still not played a college

715
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: football game at Texas A and M since A and

716
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: M came to the SEC. When did that happen a

717
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: decade ago? They came here in twenty twelve, and I

718
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: still have not seen Georgia play at A and M.

719
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 1: I've only seen A ANDM go to Georgia. Once I

720
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: was there, it rained. It was not the best of

721
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: environments that day. So teams don't play each other enough.

722
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 1: The other thing it immediately comes to mind, is okay, well,

723
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: how's this going to work? And it's like a three

724
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: or four pronged kind of series of questions. I would

725
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: have number one. Obviously, this would be a far more

726
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: dynamic scheduling model wherein your playing every other team in

727
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: the conference a lot more frequently. I think a lot

728
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: of you are wondering the same thing I was when

729
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: I heard this, Okay, well are you protecting rivalry games?

730
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: How many rivalry games are you protecting? For example, you

731
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: know Bama plays Auburn every year. Bama also plays Tennessee

732
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: every year. The Bama LSU rivalry has come to be

733
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,760
Speaker 1: one of the most predominant rivalries and higher and premier

734
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: rivalries in this conference over the last fifteen years, with

735
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 1: a few years exceptions. Are you going to keep all

736
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: three of them? I don't necessarily know that that's going

737
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: to be the case. And if that's the price that

738
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: you pay for moving ahead with what I would absolutely

739
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: call progress in this case, then so be it. I

740
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: don't think there's gonna be a world where Bama doesn't

741
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: play Auburn every year. I doubt there's a world where

742
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: Bama don't play Tennessee every year. There may be a

743
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: world where Bama don't play LSU every year. We'll see.

744
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 1: The second thing is are they going to be smart

745
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: about schedule releases? This is a message to the entire country.

746
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: You can just listen as I speak to the SEC. Look,

747
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: if you guys are going to go ahead and overhaul

748
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: everything else about this sport in some cases, things that

749
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: don't need to be touched. In this case, this does

750
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: need to be touched. But if you're going to overhaul

751
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: everything else, can you please get a grip on scheduling

752
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: and understand you don't need to release them ten years

753
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 1: in the future or even two years in the future.

754
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: Could you give me a schedule release event in February

755
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: before spring practice? Could we do it? In this case?

756
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 1: What the NFL does? Even I am not so blind

757
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: as to admit, there are a few things that the

758
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: NFL does better in call it football, and one of

759
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: them is they don't the Bengals don't know they're playing

760
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in twenty twenty seven. That's not normally the

761
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: way that works. The way it works is you tune

762
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: in on schedule release night and they tell you who

763
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna play that year, and then you get ready

764
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: and then you play the games, and somehow they make

765
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: it work in college football. Apparently you need to know

766
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,959
Speaker 1: who you're playing in twenty thirty seven for some unknown reason.

767
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: So I also wonder if they're going to get a

768
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 1: hold of that be a leader not a follower. The

769
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 1: third thing, and it kind of correlates with what I

770
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: just said, is it randomized or is there going to

771
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: be a model that's laid out? Therefore, I still know

772
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: who I'm playing well down the road, so there's no

773
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: there's no point in schedule release, I guess, other than

774
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: the order that the games are going to be in

775
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: and fourth, which is really first, because this is the

776
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: argument they're really having. Are you going to have eight

777
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: or nine on the conference slate? That's probably where the

778
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: bulk of the argument still is. I tend to believe

779
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: Greg Sankie had fun less pushback on switching to this

780
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: kind of model than he does on whether they're gonna

781
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: play eight or nine conference games. So those are some questions.

782
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,399
Speaker 1: No to answer the first. Even though I have every

783
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: right to claim credit, I don't think I'm gonna claim

784
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: credit for this one. Well, we'll probably bump into a

785
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: few more proper predictions in the near future. So I'll

786
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: let this one slide, but thank you, thank you to

787
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: everyone in the SEC League office. Next up, the traveler

788
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: asked thoughts on Nebraska's coaching search since it's been so quiet, Well,

789
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: that's normally a good thing. That normally means progress is

790
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,919
Speaker 1: being made. The general feel reached out to a couple

791
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 1: of folks today went over to our Nebraska site, Husker

792
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: twenty four to seven. They've done excellent work over there.

793
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if you need updates on this, our Nebraska

794
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:55,439
Speaker 1: site has it covered. Multiple updates this week Husker twenty

795
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: four to seven, so I check that out. But the

796
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: general feel is they're gonna make a higher right after

797
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: the end of the regular season. I think they play Iowa.

798
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: I think that's their last game, so that's next week.

799
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 1: I keep saying end of the regular season. That's next

800
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 1: week now. According to our folks over at Husker twenty

801
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: four seven, Trev Alberts thought to be down to three candidates.

802
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: I've heard this a couple of places. Of course, you

803
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: don't know who the three candidates are. The names that

804
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 1: are being thrown around, and I believe there is at

805
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: least some validity to all these Jeff Monkin, who's at Army,

806
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: and I heard his name last week from someone who

807
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: is not remotely associated with the Nebraska search. They just

808
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: kind of have knowledge of what's happening. You got Mounkin

809
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: at Army. A lot of times if you dig way

810
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: into these guys past and where they've been in some

811
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 1: relationships and connections, all of a sudden you stumble upon

812
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: one that makes you go, wait a minute, that explains

813
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: why he's being considered for this job. That's all I'll say,

814
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: Just do some digging. Matt Ruhle, Now that's a guy

815
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: that doesn't have a job right now. I got fired

816
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: from the Panthers, So he's just out there and I

817
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: think he's in play here either. Kansas coach. Now I

818
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: knew both of these guys would be mentioned, But how serious?

819
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: How serious Chris Cleman, for example? Is it Kansas State

820
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: right now? They may very well be in the Big

821
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: twelve championship game? How serious are those candidates? And you're

822
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: getting kind of mixed results from Nebraska fans at least

823
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: when you mentioned either one of those names. Hmmm, that's all. Also,

824
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,280
Speaker 1: I like both of them, So, I mean, I wouldn't

825
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: mind Lightpole, I wouldn't mind climbing. Either one of them

826
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: is a very very good fit for me. But I

827
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: know there are some mixed emotions out there. I just

828
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: think it's funny that when you talk about Lance Lightpole,

829
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: you also have the Wisconsin job that is even more

830
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: quietly still open. They're going to give that thing to

831
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: Jim Leonard up there, who is the interim right now,

832
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator, or are they going to offer it

833
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: to a guy like Lance Lightpole? And then the follow

834
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 1: up is how does a guy like Lance Lightpole balance?

835
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,800
Speaker 1: How does he weigh one versus the other? Which job

836
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: is more attractive to him? And then you got to

837
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,399
Speaker 1: think about the fact that he's got attachments. We all

838
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,879
Speaker 1: have attachments here or there. So if it came down

839
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: to it, I don't think there's a strong feel. There's

840
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: a feel out there. I don't think there is a

841
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: lot of knowledge as to where hit lean. If it

842
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: was Nebraska heads up against Wisconsin. There are reasons to

843
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: feel good about either one of them. Gary Patterson's name

844
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 1: is still floating around. He's just hanging out in Austin,

845
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:32,879
Speaker 1: hanging out at Texas. It sounds like all of these

846
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: are established head coaches, so it sounds like whoever they

847
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 1: hire is going to have a pedigree track record as

848
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,439
Speaker 1: a head coach. But then there's always that dark horse

849
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: coordinator out there somewhere. There's always that guy who is

850
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: who is viewed by someone as a hot, rising up

851
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: and comer, and he's gonna get a job somewhere eventually. Anyway,

852
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: let's let it be us. Let's be one year too

853
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: early instead of one year too late. And I don't

854
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:55,959
Speaker 1: know who that would be, full disclosure, I'm just saying

855
00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:00,399
Speaker 1: the Nebraska coaching So it's still pretty wide open, all right.

856
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,839
Speaker 1: Next up? Uh good, Okay, we're still on pace. Here

857
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: we go. Chance from Emporia, Kansas says, do you think

858
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: that TCU is struggling in the playoff rankings because the

859
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 1: Big twelve brands Texas and know you are having down years.

860
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: How will the committee view the Big twelve in the

861
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four and beyond when the conference doesn't have

862
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: the big brands anymore? Well, Chance, it may not matter

863
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: because you may have an expanded playoff by them. And

864
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 1: it sounds like every Power five conference is getting at

865
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:33,879
Speaker 1: least a team in there. I mean, if you're taking

866
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: your six highest rated conference champs, it sounds like you're

867
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 1: going to be gifted at least one spot, whether your

868
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,840
Speaker 1: conference deserves it or not. Now, outside of that, I

869
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: think your question is valid. I think that TCU is

870
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: a good case study right now for how little respect

871
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: that conference is going to get off the bat when

872
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: you lose Texas and O You. Now, if you're a

873
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: newcomer to this party, you may be looking at this

874
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: and saying, wait a second, I've watched the Big Twelve

875
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 1: this year and Texas has been not great at all.

876
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 1: Oklahoma's been even worse. Why should those two being down

877
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: delude this product? TCU Kansas State, like those teams have

878
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 1: looked like the better teams. Yes, friends, you're right, and

879
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: that's your problem. You're way too new to this. You

880
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: don't understand how built up that Texas brand gets every year. Now,

881
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: Oklahoma has fulfilled their end of the deal. I'm not

882
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: gonna knock the Sooners, but you don't understand the gross

883
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 1: misconception that as Texas goes, so too does the Big Twelve.

884
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 1: But yet that is the either conscious or subconscious feel

885
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: from a lot of people who have sway in this

886
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: whole matter, and that is the problem that TCU fans

887
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: are faced with right now. Let's be clear, this is

888
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: not a problem yet, and it won't be a problem.

889
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: If TCU wins their next three games, and that is

890
00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 1: at Baylor Iowa State Conference title game, they're good. No

891
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: amount of anti horn Frog bias could hurt them because

892
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: an undefeated Big Twelve champ will be in the playoff.

893
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: If they lose one game. If they lose thirty to

894
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,760
Speaker 1: twenty nine to Baylor this week, it's gonna break loose,

895
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: It's gonna be bad, and they could be in line

896
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: to get the shaft. I have heard a lot of

897
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 1: talk about the Big Twelve this week from a lot

898
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 1: of different places, and a lot of people whose opinions,

899
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: quite frankly, I don't necessarily respect when it comes to

900
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,399
Speaker 1: this sport. Love hearing them talk about pro games, not

901
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 1: just football, but maybe not so much college football. Let

902
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: me be careful with my words here, Look at me

903
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: being responsible. We have got to get people who only

904
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 1: casually cover the sport to stop talking about gambling. One

905
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,439
Speaker 1: of the worst things that has ever happened is also

906
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 1: one of the best things that's ever happened. One of

907
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: the best things that ever happen to college football is

908
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: the legalization of sports betting. I mean, I got ten

909
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 1: different apps I could pull up right now. Nashville. When

910
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 1: you drive around downtown, there are billboards that show live

911
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: up to the minute odds on games. And if you

912
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: live in a state where it's not legalized yet, it

913
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,320
Speaker 1: will blow your mind when it does get legalized. But anyway,

914
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 1: that's great because it gives you the freedom to do

915
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: what you were going to the Cayman Islands digitally to

916
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,879
Speaker 1: do in another life. But one of the worst things

917
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: in the world is also that that sports betting has

918
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: proliferated even the mainstream of media in college football. And

919
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: you got folks who couldn't rub two nickels together when

920
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 1: it comes to place in a wager, who are trying

921
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: to talk about gambling within the context of college football.

922
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 1: And how many times have you heard this? I just

923
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: heard it twice the other day. TCU oddsmakers say, if

924
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: they played on a neutral field, would be an underdog

925
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 1: against the top eight or nine teams in the country.

926
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. And you're talking to a guy here

927
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,879
Speaker 1: that doesn't even rank teams. All I do is put

928
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 1: out a power rating every week. You think I'm sounding hypocritical,

929
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: I'm not. No. I am absolutely the guy who puts

930
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: out a power rating which is solely based on who

931
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,919
Speaker 1: I would favor against two on a neutral field every week.

932
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: But do you notice what I say when I put

933
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: that rating out? I say the following, and then I

934
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: put it in the tweet. Power ratings are not rankings,

935
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: And if you've heard me talk about them on this show,

936
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 1: I have told you before how you would hypothetically match

937
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 1: up on a neutral field in a game that hasn't

938
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 1: been played yet has no bearing on what your playoff

939
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: resume or your playoff positioning should be. Point spreads are

940
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 1: not competition. Point spreads hypothetically are not sports. It's just

941
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 1: odds placed on a game that may or may not

942
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 1: happen depending on the matchup. Your merit is what gets

943
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 1: you your ranking. At least that's how it's supposed to happen.

944
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: These fools talking about how TCU, if they lose the game,

945
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 1: should be out of it because odds makers say they

946
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,919
Speaker 1: wouldn't be favored. You'd never in a million years say

947
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: that about the University of Texas, you'd never say it

948
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: about Oklahoma. And the reason has nothing to do with

949
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 1: a blind resume test, because, truth be told, you, people

950
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: would wrap yourselves in an intellectual pretzel if you had

951
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: to blind resume your own statements, if you had to

952
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 1: blind resume your way through your own rankings, sometimes you'd

953
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 1: find out. As it turns out, I did have some

954
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,360
Speaker 1: teams ranked too high just because of their logo, just

955
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: because of the branding. So two truths here. One of

956
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 1: them is the committee will swear to you brands don't matter,

957
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 1: teams don't matter, We're just judging resumes. The second truth

958
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: is that's a lie. The brands absolutely matter you. I mean,

959
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 1: I want you to imagine a world, and this isn't

960
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: a knock on Texas, it's a knock on some of

961
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: the prevailing thought out there. I want you to imagine

962
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: a world right now where Steve Sarkisian has Texas ten

963
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 1: and oh, Texas ten and oh, and they're in the

964
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 1: driver's seat to win the Big twelve championship. I want

965
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:55,720
Speaker 1: you to imagine Texas tripping up thirty three to thirty

966
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,919
Speaker 1: one against Baylor this week, and then winning against Iowa

967
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 1: State and winning the Big T Championship game. Can you

968
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 1: imagine the committee even giving consideration to leaving them out

969
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 1: of the playoff, like they will leave TCU out of

970
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: the playoff with the exact same resume. These folks out

971
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:14,959
Speaker 1: here talking about gambling have no clue what they're talking

972
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:18,240
Speaker 1: about in most cases. But let me turn your logic

973
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: back on you. This is if you get in a

974
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,760
Speaker 1: debate like this over the next week, just do something

975
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 1: like this. Oh, you want to talk power ratings? Do you?

976
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:29,720
Speaker 1: You want to talk odds making? Do you? I pulled

977
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: up my numbers. You can feel free to pull up

978
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: any of the most reputable models out there. They'll all

979
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:37,799
Speaker 1: look virtually the same, maybe a little discrepancy here and there.

980
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 1: I got TCU's games they played here this year. They've

981
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,280
Speaker 1: won all of them. They're underfeeding. They've got wins against

982
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 1: the number ten, thirteen, eighteen, twenty eight, twenty nine, thirty, forty,

983
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: and forty first teams in the country. Their entire conference

984
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 1: schedules consists of teams ranked in the top forty five

985
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,399
Speaker 1: rated excuse me, power rading top forty five? Who else

986
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 1: has that? I'm being told the Big twelve's down this year.

987
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,800
Speaker 1: No the Big twelve doesn't have on Alpha Georgia or

988
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,760
Speaker 1: Ohio State or something like that. It is a very

989
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,319
Speaker 1: very good league this year, a very good league. If

990
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:11,360
Speaker 1: you'd bother to pay attention instead of reading some website

991
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: that puts out hypothetical point spreads, that's a different world.

992
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: The odds making world is a totally different world. I'm

993
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 1: one of the people who puts out power ratings, and

994
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: I will readily tell you in no world should the

995
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 1: Vegas odds making process look like the college football playoff

996
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: rankings process. Totally different worlds. So yeah, TCU is probably

997
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: on their way to get in the shaft unless they

998
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 1: take care of business and win every remaining game. That'd

999
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 1: be my advice. We got one more question here than

1000
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 1: I've got some best bets to hand out. Parker. Never

1001
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:43,839
Speaker 1: let it be said that I don't ride for you guys.

1002
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: Our buddy Jim dunnaway from Birmingham, Beautiful Birmingham, Alabama. He said,

1003
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,320
Speaker 1: if the old miss job opens up, do you think

1004
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: there's a mass exit in the portal to follow lane

1005
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 1: like Oklahoma to USC last year. Pay attention. It's important

1006
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: question here. If so, how attractive or unattractive is Old

1007
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 1: Miss when searching for their next coach. Okay, there's a

1008
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 1: lot to unpack here, so what Jim Donaway's talking about

1009
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 1: there is very fresh in everyone's mind. Remember this time

1010
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 1: last year. It was next week last year, so fifty

1011
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 1: one weeks ago, Lincoln Riley coaches his final game, as

1012
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 1: it turns out, at Oklahoma. He goes to USC and

1013
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 1: a number of guys followed him, which kind of set

1014
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: the precedent that in the future, if a high profile

1015
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 1: coach leaves a program, it's just to be expected then

1016
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,879
Speaker 1: a number of his players may look to follow him.

1017
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: So then we get to this potential Lane Kiffin from

1018
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:46,759
Speaker 1: ole Miss to Auburn situation, and take Quinn Shawn Judkins

1019
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: for example, like kids from the state of Alabama. Yeah,

1020
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:51,760
Speaker 1: I'd imagine that there would be a lot of incentive

1021
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: for him to go from ole Miss to Auburn if

1022
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:57,320
Speaker 1: his head coach and maybe members of his staff currently

1023
00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:59,439
Speaker 1: go to Auburn. Yeah, I could see that. I don't

1024
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 1: know how big the chunk of the roster would be.

1025
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:04,439
Speaker 1: But then the second part of Jim's question is if

1026
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: a big chunk of the ole Miss roster were to

1027
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 1: follow Lane Kiffin, wherever he goes. In this case, it

1028
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:14,439
Speaker 1: would be Auburn. Does that make the ole Miss job

1029
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 1: less attractive? Now that I don't necessarily think so, only

1030
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: because you got more spots that you can fill now.

1031
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 1: And also, who's to say that the coach they bring

1032
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 1: in would have wanted every player ole Miss had to

1033
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 1: begin with, Like Mario Christball right now, if I were

1034
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 1: to give him a do over, he comes into Miami,

1035
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 1: Manny Diaz leaves Mario Christball. Although he had never say

1036
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: this publicly, can probably find like twenty to twenty five

1037
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,280
Speaker 1: kids on that roster that he wishes would have left.

1038
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 1: The other day, the guy had to go on a

1039
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if as a coaches show or whatnot,

1040
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 1: but he had to publicly say because there were some parents.

1041
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 1: Now this is straight eighth grade nonsense. There are some

1042
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 1: parents of Miami players who are complaining about various things

1043
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 1: like playing time. He had to go and say what

1044
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: I once heard my dad say at a little league

1045
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 1: meeting in baseball, and that is, if any of you

1046
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,359
Speaker 1: are unhappy, feel free to take your kid and leave.

1047
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: Won't stand in your way. Like Mario Christapaul a college

1048
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 1: head coach at the major Power five level said the

1049
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 1: other day, if anyone's not happy, then feel free to

1050
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:26,719
Speaker 1: come pick your kid up right now, feel free to

1051
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:28,839
Speaker 1: come get them. So who's to say that wouldn't happen

1052
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 1: at Ole Miss. I don't know that it would. I'm

1053
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:33,359
Speaker 1: just saying you would already have some churn anyway, I don't.

1054
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:34,880
Speaker 1: In other words, what I'm trying to say is, I

1055
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 1: don't think the quality of the Old Miss job is

1056
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: going to that much deteriorate just because some kids leave

1057
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 1: with the head coach, Because that's going to happen everywhere,

1058
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: or it's going to be assumed that it's going to

1059
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: happen everywhere. The Old Miss job is still a very

1060
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 1: good job. And just because it doesn't maybe compare in

1061
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 1: someone's mind to Auburn doesn't mean it's not a good job.

1062
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:57,399
Speaker 1: Because Auburn at its best is a top fifteen job

1063
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:00,160
Speaker 1: in America. So you don't have to be a top

1064
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 1: fifteen job in America's still be really good. And by

1065
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:05,880
Speaker 1: the way, you're in the Southeastern Conference when you're coaching

1066
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: at Old Miss, which means you got access to a

1067
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 1: ton of stuff, namely money every year, and you've got

1068
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 1: a really, really engaged fan base over there. There's a

1069
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 1: ton to like, very unique culture, a ton to like

1070
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 1: about the Old Miss Job if it comes open. And

1071
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 1: I can also tell you the backfilling process, which is

1072
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,799
Speaker 1: what I call it. That's where a majority of the

1073
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 1: real meaty conversation is this time of year. Like if

1074
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 1: I talk to agents, and I try and talk to

1075
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 1: as many of them as I can. Fascinating world, man,

1076
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: just a fascinating world. But when I talk to him,

1077
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,720
Speaker 1: they're not talking about Lane in Auburn right now, because

1078
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 1: everybody knows, okay, that's either just gonna happen or it's not.

1079
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 1: But everyone has spoken their peace on that. They talk

1080
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 1: more about what happens with the Old Miss Job if

1081
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 1: Lane leaves, because they're already thinking two or three steps

1082
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: down the road of Okay, who are my guys that

1083
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 1: would be interested there? I can I'll tell you from

1084
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 1: first hand conversations, you'd have like twenty or twenty five

1085
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:08,359
Speaker 1: pretty legit candidates on the phone the second Lane Kiff

1086
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:11,399
Speaker 1: and clean out his office at Ole Miss, so they

1087
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: won't hurt for finding someone legitimate. And then of course

1088
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 1: you got the putting them together of the staff, and

1089
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: you got where is that coach right now? Where are

1090
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 1: those coaches right now? That's the backfilling process. That's what

1091
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people are already working on. And no

1092
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 1: one even knows if he's taking the Auburn job yet,

1093
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 1: at least publicly. So, Yeah, it's interesting. I was over

1094
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 1: on our site earlier today inside the Rebels, and I

1095
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 1: was reading some of David Johnson's work, and he made

1096
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 1: a really good point that I had frankly not thought of.

1097
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 1: He said, if they're waiting until the end of the year,

1098
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:45,399
Speaker 1: let's just say this does go down Lane kiff into

1099
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,800
Speaker 1: Auburn and they're waiting until the end of the year. Well,

1100
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 1: let's keep in mind Ole Miss's season ends on Thanksgiving night.

1101
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,760
Speaker 1: They play the Egg Bowl Thanksgiving night. The Iron bowls

1102
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 1: forty eight hours after that. So we could be in

1103
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 1: a situation where by the time Auburn is playing their

1104
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:06,319
Speaker 1: final game of the year, we already know, at least

1105
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: on the Lane Kifflin front, we already know one way

1106
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 1: or the other. And I don't think it would be

1107
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 1: the worst look in the world if I'm calling the

1108
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 1: shots at Auburn, and I do want a guy who

1109
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: season wrapped up on Thanksgiving night. I'm gonna maximize those

1110
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: forty eight hours, knowing I got a big feature spot

1111
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 1: on the CBS the secl C best Game of the Week,

1112
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 1: which the Iron Bowl is this year again, I think

1113
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 1: we'll hear something pretty quickly one way or the other

1114
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 1: after the Egg Bowl. All right, let's get some best

1115
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:35,439
Speaker 1: bets here, and I've got one hour until my flight

1116
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:40,920
