1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal. Holl that for me. I'm

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: a man, I'm forty.

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 2: I've heard so many players say, well, I want to

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 2: be happy. You want to be happy for a day?

5
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: Edo State?

6
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 3: Is that?

7
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: Whoo whoom and then and tie. Dan Rubertstein been about

8
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: forty eight hours.

9
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, since the conclusion of the college football season. I

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 3: know we have the Army Navy game. We can talk

11
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 3: about that game on Thursday. I know it's not completely

12
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 3: in the books, but I think for all intents and

13
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 3: purposes here on the solid verbal, the people that listen

14
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 3: to the solid verbal, we know the playoff field, we

15
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 3: know who won conferences, we know where bowl matchups are

16
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 3: going to be, what they're looking like. We'll talk through

17
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 3: a bunch of those and much much more. Also, time

18
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 3: of recording, the portal is opening, So really no rest

19
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 3: for the weary here, my friend.

20
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: How are you today? No, man, I'm good. I'm good.

21
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 2: It's still you know, drinking from a fire hose. That's

22
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: our favorite phrase for when things are happening all at once.

23
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: When we have playoff selection, bowl selection. Coach is moving

24
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 2: all around, and Barry odom is reportedly going to Purdue.

25
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: You know, among a bunch of other happenings in the

26
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: silly season coaching carousel world, and you know portal stuff,

27
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of big names, a lot of

28
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: known names. When I say no, not no names, no no,

29
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: no kN own names, and will be fascinating to see

30
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: who ends up where, especially quarterback being as high profile

31
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 2: as it is. And I don't know, like, was this

32
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 2: like the last season of the bonus COVID year. I

33
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: don't do some math with me because I'm seeing like TJ.

34
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: Finley entering for the fourth time Auburn, LSU, Texas State,

35
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: Western Kentucky and now that he'll have a fifth destination

36
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: or a fifth place. Uh, I think it's the end.

37
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: I think I don't know. Maybe maybe we'll have another

38
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: year of it if my math is off. But man,

39
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: there's some of those guys. And then there are some

40
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: guys where you just you lose a coach, or you

41
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: tried to stick it out with the new coach and

42
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 2: it wasn't a fit, and or you know, somebody younger

43
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 2: came up and supplanted you. So there's there's a lot

44
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 2: of interesting conversation and movement happening in the portal.

45
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 3: A lot of interesting things going on. For sure, we

46
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 3: will do our best to kind of get you up

47
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 3: the speed with everything that you need to know. Coming

48
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 3: up later this week, we're gonna have our friend Bill

49
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 3: Connolly on the show to talk through I don't know,

50
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: just put sort of a ribbon a bow on the

51
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 3: season that was and things that jumped out to him,

52
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 3: things that he's looking for moving forward. In very short order,

53
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: we're going to have Bowl preview Numero Uno. We have

54
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 3: broken up all of the other Bowls into two big shows,

55
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 3: so there's going to be a Bowl Preview one and

56
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 3: a Bowl Preview two coming up. I guess around the

57
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 3: next week timetable somewhere in that neighborhood.

58
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: And we're also going to have.

59
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 3: Our playoff preview next Tuesday. So a lot brewing here

60
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 3: in the Verballer hood, not the least of which is

61
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 3: bull Bingo, Dan bull Bingo. Yes, I will talk about

62
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 3: Bulbingo a little bit later on in this episode, but

63
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: bul Bingo is going to be the successor to Winter Wonders,

64
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 3: which we have run the last couple of years. It's

65
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 3: been a confidence pool, but since the Bowl season has changed,

66
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: we took it upon ourselves to change the game and

67
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: give it the for baller hood access to something that

68
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 3: they have never ever played before. Just go on out

69
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 3: to verbowlers dot com and sign up for the free tier.

70
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: That is my one bit of advice. Go to the

71
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: free tier.

72
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 3: I'm not going to spam you. You don't got to

73
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 3: pay for this, but all are welcome. You just got

74
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: to sign up as a part of the free tier

75
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 3: and then you'll get access to bowl Bingo when that

76
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: goes up a little bit later on this week. Oh,

77
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: if you've made it this far, hit fil Hit.

78
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: Subscribes that you don't miss any of our episodes.

79
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 3: Dan, let's get into news, dude. My voice is pretty

80
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 3: damn raspy from the weekend.

81
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: And you slept well, that's usually a good healing path.

82
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: But no, you're you're still getting back up to uh

83
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 2: to average.

84
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: Here.

85
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 3: Last last year, the second the season ended, I got

86
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 3: really sick.

87
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: All right, ty.

88
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: We got a long, robust offseason. I know, some playoff postseason.

89
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: I'm trying to keep it together.

90
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: I'm trying to make sure that I'm hydrated, that I'm

91
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 3: drinking all the right stuff to try and you know,

92
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 3: keep me in good shape. But alas we have a

93
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,799
Speaker 3: new Verballer Poll. It's the final Verballer Pole of the season.

94
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: I asked people you may recall on the Saturday night

95
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 3: live stream of the reaction stream, to go on out,

96
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 3: sign up and vote. The results are similar, albeit a

97
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 3: little bit different between Harverballers and what the committee came

98
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 3: down with. Oregon Georgia one two. No surprise there Notre

99
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 3: Dame by three points, three points over Texas three and four,

100
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 3: Penn State at five, Ohio State at six, Tennessee at seven,

101
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: Boise State at eight, Arizona State all the way up

102
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 3: to nine. That's a bit of a difference. They were

103
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 3: twelve in the CFP pole, Indiana down to ten, SMU

104
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 3: at eleven, Clemson at twelve. Notably Clemson at twelve over Alabama.

105
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 3: My hunches, when people voted, they were not just voting

106
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 3: in terms of who the best twelve are, but who

107
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 3: they thought should get into.

108
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: Right, the twelve playoff teams.

109
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the playoff field. So you could take a

110
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 3: look at this, Dan, We got the twelve teams in

111
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 3: the Verballer Pole. SMU included in there, ranked above Clemson

112
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: despite the fact that Clemson had beat him in the

113
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 3: ACC game. That sort of mimics what we saw based

114
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 3: on the playoff committee suggestions, So we'll put one more

115
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 3: of these out after everything is said and done. Again,

116
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 3: stay tuned to that free tier out at forballers dot com.

117
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 3: We will make sure that the final poll of the

118
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 3: season at some point in January, is open to all

119
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 3: who are interested. But I don't know if I have

120
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 3: any thoughts on this. I guess where I wanted to

121
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 3: start this podcast today, is any lingering thoughts you have now,

122
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 3: because we do have ball matchups that we can talk

123
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 3: through here a little bit, just to give people a

124
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,119
Speaker 3: primer for what's to come. We obviously have been thinking through,

125
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 3: just on like a podcast level, what the hell are

126
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 3: schedules going to be now that they're playing these games

127
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 3: at odd times. The first round is over the weekend,

128
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 3: the next round is New Year's even New Year's Day.

129
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 3: After that, I think we've got a Tuesday Wednesday game,

130
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 3: and then the following the championship game is played on

131
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 3: a Monday night. So very few of these abide by

132
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 3: like the normal parameters of a college football schedule. So

133
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 3: we've been thinking about that and what it all means

134
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 3: and how we're going to cover things moving forward, but

135
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 3: lingering thoughts, Lingering thoughts from the weekend, now that we

136
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 3: know matchups.

137
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 2: Including the playoff, including the Bulls, including what we already

138
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: saw in terms of championship games, anything.

139
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, or just in life. I mean, we should probably

140
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 3: stick to college football. Okay, the College Football Show, but.

141
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: No, not a terribly long list of lingering thoughts. You know,

142
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: you have the expected Alabama and SEC talking points that

143
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 2: were sort of tedious and grasping at Straw's ish a

144
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: little bit too much. And that's fine. I would do

145
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: the same thing if I were an Alabama fan, Like

146
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: you have to go to bat for your team, you

147
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: have to go to bat for your your viewpoint, from

148
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 2: your vantage point, whatever, and.

149
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's fine. It's all expected.

150
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: And you know, the talking points about SMU, the talking

151
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: points that I think both Greg Byrne and Nick Saban

152
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: national ESPN shared, all analysts shared VA Google docs. Yeah,

153
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 2: there was a lot of that of like why even

154
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: schedule like strong non conference games? And I saw Bill

155
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: Connelly he was like, well, Alabama's non conference the final

156
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: sp plus ratings were like sixty seventh, seventieth and seventy seventh.

157
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: That's right, And an FCS team for Alabama, they lost

158
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: SEC games, and I saw there was a stat that,

159
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 2: like Alabama had two losses to teams outside of the

160
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: SP plus top thirty in Oklahoma and Vanderbilt, and the

161
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 2: seven at large schools that did get playoff bids combined

162
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: for two between them. So you know, there's some context

163
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: lost in these things. I understand where where everybody's coming from,

164
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 2: and again I would do the same exact thing if

165
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: Oregon were left out in a similar manner. But no,

166
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 2: beyond that, I think I'm excited for what these new

167
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 2: matchups have in store. Disappointed that my team in its

168
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 2: first matchup has to play the winner between Ohio's dateon Tennessee.

169
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I don't.

170
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 2: Know, if you're number one, they should be scared of

171
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: you more than you should be scared of them, right.

172
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: One would think one would think, yeah, one would think

173
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 3: I will say this kind of as an aside. I

174
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 3: think the the reaction to the playoff field that I

175
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 3: appreciated the most came from the people who were clearly

176
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 3: trying to find their own angle on it.

177
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: Did you see the Jim Nagy NFL tweets? Did you

178
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: see that.

179
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 2: Oh that like it like should be an all SEC

180
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: playoff because they have the most potential first through third

181
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 2: round picks or something.

182
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, the metric by which Jim was using was NFL talent.

183
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 3: If I were an SEC coach and ad I two

184
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 3: would be upset knowing how much NFL talent is on

185
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 3: the roster, to which I tweeted out and I said, Hey,

186
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 3: if they just want to crown a champion in July,

187
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 3: it's saves a lot of work, Dan, it would save

188
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 3: a lot of work.

189
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: We don't got to do any of this.

190
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 2: Well, you know how they review restaurants, right, They take

191
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: a look at the shopping lists and then they say, well,

192
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 2: this clearly must be the best restaurant. They ordered the

193
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 2: most high quality lobster, so they must do the best

194
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 2: job with it, right, That's how they review restaurants.

195
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, am I mistaken?

196
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 2: So cool that hypothetically LSU was so much more talented

197
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: than other teams, and in practice they lost to an

198
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 2: extraordinarily average Big Ten team. I love to open the season.

199
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 3: I love the tweets that are always like sort of

200
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 3: dancing around the point.

201
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: Include a little bit.

202
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 3: Of a humble brag just to assert authority, sure, and

203
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 3: are playing into the trending news topics of the moment,

204
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 3: if only to go viral. Those are my favorites. So

205
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 3: that was my tweet of the weekend on that front.

206
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 3: The thing that I would add here, please, I wasn't

207
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 3: sure if you were going to bring it up, but

208
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 3: lingering thoughts with regard to the playoff. The news on

209
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 3: Carson Beck is not particularly great.

210
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, real bum to see it.

211
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 3: Carson Beck has injured his UCL. If you're a baseball fan,

212
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 3: you're used to people pictures, in particular having UCL injuries.

213
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: It is never good for you. It is the ligament

214
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 3: on the inside part of the elbow. I'm pointing to

215
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 3: it now in the video. Maybe you can see it.

216
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 3: I have hurt that ligament before in the past. It

217
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 3: renders your arm into a noodle.

218
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: It sucks. It is not fun. Bear in mind, I am.

219
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 3: Not a high caliber quarterback nor a pitcher. I work

220
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 3: at a keyboard now, but back in the day when

221
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 3: I was playing baseball. You try to throw after you

222
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 3: injure that ligament, your arm is dead.

223
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: Yes. So the fact that he came in and.

224
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 3: Had that, as I've said, dramatic game winning handoff is

225
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 3: a testament to I think his toughness because it doesn't

226
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 3: feel good. I've done that, but it certainly now calls

227
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 3: into question where things stand in this playoff. I don't

228
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 3: think it sounds so i'mis saying it sounds like he's

229
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 3: going to get a second opinion on it. Clearly he's

230
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 3: got an NFL future, whether as part of this draft class.

231
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: Presumab three years or something. Yeah.

232
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 3: I mean, Carson Beck has had his moments this season,

233
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 3: but Carson Beck is absolutely still a high level prospect.

234
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 3: So the fact that this comes now is really really

235
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 3: upsetting for you a Georgia fan, I would say conversely,

236
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 3: as a Notre Dame fan, I'm looking at this news

237
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 3: and though I don't want anybody to get hurt, I'm saying, okay, well,

238
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 3: Gunner stocked in.

239
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: That changes the calculus a little bit.

240
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 3: That makes you feel, I guess a little bit better

241
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 3: if you're Notre Dame, even if you're Indiana. I don't

242
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 3: want to pay in Indiana in this game. Coming out

243
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 3: of that quadrant of the bracket. It definitely raises a

244
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 3: bunch of questions. Now we were waiting for more news

245
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 3: on this. It seems as if some trickled out here.

246
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 3: We're recording this on Monday. We'll wait to see what

247
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 3: that second opinion looks like. We'll wait to see what

248
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 3: the doctors have to say. But for sure, if they're

249
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 3: at all concerned about his future, if he's concerned about

250
00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 3: his future in the NFL, logic would see to point

251
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: to the fact that we're not going to see Carson

252
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 3: Beck for a while.

253
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what it seems like.

254
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 2: And I know some Georgia fans have sort of pointed

255
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 2: out that, like, oh, we'll be fine Gunner Stockton, don't

256
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: sleep on Gunner Stockton. He might be okay, he might

257
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 2: be pretty good. You never want your backup quarterback to

258
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 2: be thrust into this kind of position after sitting all

259
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 2: season long. As much as Carson back at times has

260
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 2: struggled to live up to expectations that I think we

261
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 2: all had of him coming into the season in terms

262
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: of interceptions, in terms of not seeing pass rushes and

263
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 2: just making throws that were unfortunate, that just Gunner Stockton

264
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 2: might be okay, but you don't want him in this

265
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 2: position at this moment. And it's certainly something that doesn't

266
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 2: mean George is automatically going to lose early, but no,

267
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 2: George is not at full strength with Gunner Stockton.

268
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 3: The thought that has been bouncing around in my mind

269
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 3: since I got this news. We saw Carson Beck in

270
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 3: that game, and he didn't play in the second half.

271
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 3: He did come in later, so the ice pack, it

272
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 3: was very visible that something was wrong. This is not

273
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 3: to say it was a dramatic injury the way we

274
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 3: saw a year ago with Jordan Travis. And I know

275
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 3: this is perhaps a weird hypothetical, but I was comparing

276
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 3: the two in my head. In both instances, Georgia and

277
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 3: Florida State. These are teams that won their conferences. But

278
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 3: the Jordan Travis injury was dramatic and I think apparent

279
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 3: to everybody watching that it was very bad and it

280
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 3: was going to stay that way regardless of whether Florida

281
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 3: State was in the playoff or not. Right, I don't

282
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 3: think there's much debate that the committee held that against

283
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 3: Florida State and kept them out of the playoff as

284
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 3: a result of it. But I just wonder if there

285
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 3: isn't some bit of he got hurt, nobody knew how

286
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 3: badly he was hurt. They're going to be rewarded with

287
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 3: the number two overall seed, deal with the ramifications later,

288
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 3: Like if that injury had been more apparent and worse

289
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 3: right out of the shoot, if the committee would have

290
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 3: treated them in the same capacity they treated Florida State.

291
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 2: I think it was pretty clear to everybody involved that

292
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 2: they were just like, immediately yep, not coming back for

293
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 2: the second half.

294
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: That if he were beat up, if.

295
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 2: It were sore, if it were something this is the

296
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 2: SEC Championship game. I'm sure that if he were given

297
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 2: the choice, he absolutely would have chosen to come back

298
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 2: if physically possible. Yeah, And so I think the committee

299
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: knew well enough that it was going to be a

300
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 2: pretty serious injury, and they they weren't and they weren't

301
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 2: going to do this two years in a row. They

302
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: just weren't after what happened with Florida State last year.

303
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: So no, I don't know if if it had been

304
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 2: so obvious and so violently ghastly or something like that,

305
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: that they would have knocked Georgia down.

306
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: But I mean, Georgia was getting in regardless because they

307
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: won the conference, so that's it's not exactly getting to apples, and.

308
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: They were going to get the buy that league couldn't

309
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 2: drop Georgia seven spots or something out of in Texas.

310
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: No, no, no, But I just I don't know straight thought.

311
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 3: The other thing I would add, and maybe this is

312
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 3: a natural segue over into Bowl season and some of

313
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 3: the other matchups. You and I talked offline a little

314
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 3: bit as we were trying to figure out what are

315
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 3: schedule is going to be like this postseason now, because

316
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 3: they've changed the schedule so much and the crop of

317
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 3: other Bowl games is not exactly inspiring. Sure, I do

318
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 3: wonder if one of the knock on consequences of this

319
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: twelve team playoff is with so many of the better

320
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 3: teams playing against one another, that means that there is

321
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 3: less interest in Bowl season than before. I mean, there

322
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 3: were already forty some odd games, So you pick and

323
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 3: choose the ones that I think you're interested in. But

324
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 3: I'm looking at these matchups, man, and I'm like, ooh,

325
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 3: there's five games that I think are really interesting to me.

326
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 3: There are a bunch of other ones that don't exactly

327
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 3: make me want to set a reminder.

328
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 2: So here's the other thing too, It's you don't even

329
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 2: know what these games are going to be like. Even

330
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 2: a game that you're gonna, like hypothetically enjoy, like Miami's

331
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 2: Bowl game, like kim Or, it's not playing in the

332
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 2: Pop Tarts Bowl likely.

333
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 3: And the Pop Tarts Bowl, by the way, looks like, maybe,

334
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 3: at least on its face, one of the best matchup

335
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 3: for a bowl season. So it's like, if that's gonna

336
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 3: be the case between two kind of fringe playoff teams

337
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,479
Speaker 3: from this past year with a bunch of guys sitting out,

338
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 3: I don't know what the Iowa state side is gonna

339
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 3: look like, but you're right on Miami. That to me

340
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 3: is a little bit disappointing, and I don't think there's

341
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 3: really any way around it.

342
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,719
Speaker 2: It's look that you can look up and down like

343
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 2: cal un LV. It's no longer the Jimmy Kimmel l

344
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: A Bowl. It's the art of sport La Bowl, art

345
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 2: of what I'm seeing here. Who's Col's offensive coordinator? Who's

346
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 2: gonna play quarterback for cal? I mean could be Fernando Mendos.

347
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 2: I have no idea. Like the portal opened as we

348
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 2: were speaking, Like Tulane Florida are playing in the gasparillable,

349
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 2: Dari Mensa is in the portal darry Mens is not

350
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 2: going to play for Tulane. Is DJ Lagway gonna sit

351
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 2: out just to further rest his hamstring or something like that.

352
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like you don't want to risk anything

353
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: for the Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl. It's in Tampa.

354
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 2: It's local ish to the state of Florida. Like you

355
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 2: go through here and they're just like the list of

356
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: games with you know, Mikey Keanes gone from Fresno State.

357
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 2: They're playing an IU. Okay, I'll watch that game. That's

358
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 2: the it's the famous Idaho Potato Bowl, I believe is

359
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 2: what we have down here.

360
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: I'll watch.

361
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: I always love seeing the possibility of snow on blue turf.

362
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: But what are you supposed to take from it? That's

363
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 2: the interesting thing to me is like we can find

364
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 2: very interesting reasons to watch these games.

365
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 1: That's not difficult. Now.

366
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 2: The difficult thing is getting juiced up on the announcement

367
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 2: to be like, ooh, that's gonna be fun, Ooh, look

368
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 2: at this Holiday Bowl, look at this Vegas Bowl. Like

369
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: Miller Moss has gone. Wasn't the starter at the end

370
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 2: of the year, Connor Weigman Gonne wasn't the starter at

371
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 2: the end of the year. But who else is going

372
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 2: to join those players at those schools? So with texts

373
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 2: A and M, it's a first year coach finishing up

374
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 2: his inaugural season and a lot of players gave him

375
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 2: a shot, and now they're going to say, like, well

376
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 2: wasn't a fit. I'm gonna head into the portal. What

377
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 2: is Texas A and M's lineup going to look like?

378
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 2: Who's going to join Miller Moss from USC on the

379
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 2: offensive side of the ball for USC or formerly USC

380
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: players And down the line, it's yeah, Iowa State, Miami

381
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 2: and the Pop Darts Bowl, Miami disappointed going into that game. Disappointed,

382
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 2: Iowa State going into that game disappointed was on the precipice,

383
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 2: As you mentioned, who's going to be there, who's going

384
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 2: to poach coaches, who's going to poach players? And so,

385
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 2: I don't know, it feels like we are heading towards

386
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 2: something obvious, and that is and the obvious thing is

387
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 2: a restructuring of what the postseason is. If people stuck

388
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 2: watching the if and that's an if because people always

389
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 2: watch mediocre football rather than watch like good basketball for

390
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 2: whatever reason. Uh, because I mean, they love football, so

391
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: don't I don't know what that restructuring is. I don't

392
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 2: know if it's a consolidation. I don't know if it's

393
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 2: a schedule change. But I think when you look at

394
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 2: this sport, I think the last thing to be considered

395
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 2: is going to be like the sanctity of the Music

396
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 2: City Bowl, right, And so I don't know if that

397
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 2: means fewer bowls. I don't know if these means this

398
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 2: means bowls bundled in a playoff type system that isn't

399
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: exactly the playoff that creates some sort of heightened prizing

400
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 2: for the winner or championship teams or something like that

401
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 2: that like Alabama was a hair away from the playoff

402
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 2: and they're taking on a seven and five Michigan team

403
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 2: in the Reliaquest Bowl. Yeah, it's not a consolation for

404
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 2: really either one of these teams and fan bases.

405
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: So I don't know.

406
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 2: I think eventually we're going to reach the point where,

407
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 2: I mean, the Citrus Bowl is kind of interesting to me.

408
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 2: I think it will be interesting no matter what. South Carolina, Illinois. Yeah,

409
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 2: it's a few yeah, but yeah, it's going to be

410
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 2: an annually tougher and tougher sell to get people to travel,

411
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 2: pay for tickets, pay for hotels and rental cars, and

412
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 2: tune in. Frankly, like the fans of the teams will

413
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 2: because football is a scarce resource. But are the casual

414
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 2: fans going to tune into the really request Bowl, given

415
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 2: who might not even be anywhere near that stadium.

416
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:35,959
Speaker 1: I don't know.

417
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, that was one of the challenges

418
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 3: with putting together a game this postseason.

419
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: Not to promote the game any further, but right.

420
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 3: One of the things some of the feedback that I

421
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 3: got with regard to the confidence pool is like, hey,

422
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 3: it's a cool concept. Confidence pools been around since the

423
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 3: beginning of time. That said, it's increasingly more difficult to

424
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 3: be confident in anything.

425
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: I don't know how you bet on half of these.

426
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 3: Games with the point spread in this day and age,

427
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 3: because of opt outs, because of sheer motivations to be

428
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 3: there or not be there, because of the transfer portal

429
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 3: side of it. I mean, there's just so many more

430
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 3: things that you need to consider. That's part of the

431
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 3: reason why I wanted to move away from it, because

432
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 3: bull season in and of itself has gotten way more

433
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 3: complicated with all these external factors we're trying to keep

434
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 3: the game pretty simple that everybody can enjoy it, and

435
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 3: I think that's part of the problem.

436
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 1: Now, you're right.

437
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 3: I mean, we could come to a point at some

438
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 3: point in the future here where you know, we were

439
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 3: joking around about kind of a tournament of Bowls of Sports,

440
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 3: but the Bulls kind of reorganize themselves into pods and

441
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 3: find a way to conduct their own tournament separate from

442
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 3: the college football playoffs. Just because I don't know, this

443
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 3: isn't really doing it for me. Now, we will find

444
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 3: ways to be interested in these games. I've found a

445
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 3: number of them already that I think are interesting just

446
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 3: on their face. Given where these teams have been this season,

447
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 3: the question is who will be playing, The question is

448
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 3: who will be transferring? The question like, we've got a

449
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 3: number of those situations. I pulled out the Birmingham Bowl

450
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 3: right away between Georgia Tech and Vandy, two teams that

451
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 3: provided a ton of storylines this season. I mean, there's

452
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 3: no doubt about that. I'm interested in that game. And

453
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 3: then of course I read that Eric Singleton, top wide

454
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 3: receiver for Georgia Tech, is going to be entering the

455
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 3: transfer portal, so we're going to have stories like this

456
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 3: creep out over the next couple of days, and not

457
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 3: only are we going to have to react to that,

458
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 3: but we're going to have to figure out what does

459
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 3: that mean come bowl season. There are a couple though,

460
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 3: all right. Georgia Tech Vandy I think is one obvious one.

461
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 3: I think Syracuse Wazoo could be a ton of fun,

462
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,479
Speaker 3: a lot of offense potentially, I hope. So yeah, in

463
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 3: that game, I'm interested in seeing what happens there. Beyond that,

464
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 3: the Rutgers Case State Game and the Rate Bowl, I

465
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 3: have almost no idea what to expect. There almost no

466
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 3: idea what to expect, so I'm curious at a minimum.

467
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: I don't know.

468
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 3: Who's playing in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl from a player standpoint,

469
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 3: but Texas Tech Arkansas feels like it could be a

470
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 3: really fun matchup to me. Okay, yeah, I would also

471
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 3: add that BYU Colorado, the Ala Mo Bowl jumps off

472
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 3: the page. I don't think Shador Sanders nor Travis Hunter

473
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 3: are playing in that game.

474
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: Hard to imagine, so I would.

475
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 3: Probably favor BYU. I don't know what the points where

476
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 3: it is. I have not seen that at least that

477
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 3: looks like an interesting matchup.

478
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: It's two big twelve.

479
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 3: Teams, which is a little weird, but at the same time,

480
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 3: BA versus Colorado would be an interesting storyline at a

481
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 3: bare minimum. You already mentioned Iowa State versus Miami. We

482
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 3: don't need to go into more details about that, nor

483
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 3: Alabama versus Michigan. I do kind of think that that

484
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 3: Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl has a lot of weird

485
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 3: game potential. That's Louisville versus Washington. I would presume that

486
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 3: Tyler Shock would be playing in that game. And two

487
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 3: teams that I just say from a personal level, I

488
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 3: had a hard time trying to figure out what each

489
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 3: of them was going to do this season, and kind

490
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 3: of to that point, Baylor versus LSU two more teams

491
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 3: that are playing in the Texas Bowl. I had trouble

492
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 3: putting a finger on both of them this season. No

493
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 3: idea what to expect. That has a lot of weird

494
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 3: game potential with a lot of offense. Yeah, so I'm

495
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 3: interested in those.

496
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Iowa Mazoo could be interesting maybe sort of

497
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: kind of That's Music City Bowl. Yeah, sure, I don't know.

498
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: I'm really I'm searching here the way that this thing

499
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: is set up. Now.

500
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, the College Football Playoff is interwoven into bowl season

501
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 3: as we know it. The game start up on December

502
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 3: the twentieth. The first college Football Playoff game is Friday,

503
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 3: December twentieth at eight pm ESPN Notre Dame Stadium, Notre

504
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 3: Dame hosting Indiana. The following day, there are three games.

505
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 3: It's SMU at Penn State early. They're hosting a white

506
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 3: out at noon, which is different but okay. The second

507
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 3: is at four pm. It's number twelve Clemson at number

508
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 3: five Texas.

509
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: That is officially a white out, by the way, it

510
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: is a white out, and State announced that they're doing

511
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: a white out for the SMO. Okay, they tweeted that out.

512
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 3: And then the late game in the Shoe is number

513
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 3: nine Tennessee against number eight Ohio State. Yes, so those

514
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 3: games are kind of the first weekend of bowl season.

515
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 3: There's about ten ish days in between rounds. After that

516
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 3: we go to the four games of the quarterfinals. Add

517
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 3: on ten more days thereabouts you get to the semis.

518
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 3: Add on ten more you get to the finals. So

519
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 3: this thing goes up until January the twentieth Bowl season.

520
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 3: I guess bowl season proper if you want to consider

521
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 3: kind of the old format, the old Bowl games. That

522
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 3: concludes on January the fourth, So we're going to have

523
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 3: about two to two and a half weeks in between

524
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 3: when the other Bowl games end and when the National Championship.

525
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 3: Is one interesting change. The Bahamas Bowl, which typically has

526
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 3: been one of the first games, yeah, is now the

527
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 3: absolute last game between Buffalo and Liberty on Saturday the

528
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 3: fourth January, so which I kind of like because Bahamas Bowl.

529
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 3: A lot of people had forgotten about that. I know

530
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 3: because I've seen the bull pick them entries that we've

531
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 3: had in the past. It's nice to give them their

532
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 3: due and have the main stage for then.

533
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 2: Congratulations Bahamas Ball. You are down at least one starting

534
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 2: quarterback with Cayden.

535
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 3: Salter in the portal ka In Salter in the portal.

536
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 3: Any other boll thoughts before we get to the transfer

537
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 3: portal down.

538
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 2: No, it was it was the first year in which

539
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 2: I just figured like, yeah, I'll check back in at

540
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 2: like five or six pm on Sunday to see what

541
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 2: the Bulls are instead of following along as they were

542
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 2: coming out in the afternoon, just because with the expanded playoff,

543
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 2: He's like, well, what are the opt outs going to

544
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 2: look like, what are the coaching changes going to look like?

545
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 2: And you know it would it was a it felt

546
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 2: like an especially easy year to say, like, well, let's

547
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 2: just have number thirteen and fourteen play each other and fifteen,

548
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 2: you know, do like a top twenty five tournament type

549
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 2: thing of the teams that didn't make it in. But

550
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 2: you know, here we are, and it's going to be

551
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 2: as you mentioned, it's gonna be very tough for any

552
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 2: of these top you know, draft consideration type players to

553
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 2: justify playing an Alimobile or a Relyoquest Bowl or a

554
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 2: Music City Bowl type thing. And I hope for the

555
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 2: sake of these balls people watch. But you know, the

556
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 2: sport is making more it's making it more and more

557
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 2: difficult to justify.

558
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 3: It'll be interesting to see what happens on the viewership

559
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 3: side of this, because most of these games are on ESPN,

560
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 3: and my hunch is that if there is any kind

561
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 3: of dip in viewership for one reason or another, maybe

562
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 3: it's a playoff thing, maybe it's who knows, maybe that's

563
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 3: what to some changes. But this was the first year

564
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 3: since we've been doing this podcast, and really the first

565
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 3: year since I started college football falling college football, I

566
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 3: should say I didn't start college football right where. I

567
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 3: looked at the bowl matchups and I was like, wow,

568
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 3: this is this feels different to me than it has

569
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 3: in the past.

570
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely does. By the way, just when you mentioned it,

571
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 2: the possibly headline matchup in the opening round of the

572
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 2: college football playoff Tennessee Ohio State.

573
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: That's in ESPN Game, ESPN Game APM.

574
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 2: No brainer for the pregame show to pipe in Baker Mayfield,

575
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 2: who absolutely dismantled the emotions of both of these fan

576
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 2: bases on the road to weigh in on this matchup.

577
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 2: I think it was a either overtime or double overtime

578
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: against Tennessee, and like Oklahoma didn't play all that well

579
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 2: if memory serves, but they came back from a pretty

580
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 2: ridiculous deficit to win. And then of course he did

581
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 2: plant the flag. He was successful in planting the flag

582
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 2: in Ohio Stadium. You gotta bring on bake, right, it's

583
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 2: a little that pregame pre game.

584
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you never know when you need it. I want

585
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: to talk some portal smoke place all right. Portal's open, Dan, Hmmm,

586
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: the portal is open. It is.

587
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 3: Sort of my favorite thing all college football season.

588
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: Okay.

589
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 3: I love the fact that the two teams that I

590
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 3: stick for, however weirdly that may sound, are in the

591
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 3: College Football Playoff. I love that your team is also

592
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 3: in the College football Playoff. I love that we had

593
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 3: a year with a tick more parody and a ton

594
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 3: more volatility. I like all of these things immensely. The

595
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 3: portal is my new thing. I love the portal.

596
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 2: Okay, I like the again, speaking of which, I like

597
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 2: the flag that you've planted about this.

598
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: I love it. Okay.

599
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 3: It has introduced a level of uncertainty into the sport,

600
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 3: not that it needed any more of it. I realized

601
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 3: there are downsides, but I do like it.

602
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: Full disclosure.

603
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 2: We root for Notre Dame in Oregon, who have been

604
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 2: incredible beneficiaries. Incredible beneficiaries. Yes, so of course a Notre

605
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 2: Dame person, an Oregon person, would be like.

606
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: It's a pretty fun time.

607
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 3: I get it. Believe me, I get it. I have

608
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 3: spoken to that very point. Yes, in the early hours

609
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 3: now of the portal being opened, Dan, can you walk

610
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 3: us through some of the names that you have heard,

611
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 3: oh man, some of the points of intrigue that the

612
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 3: audience might be interested in.

613
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's going to be quarterback, right, I

614
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 2: just that is going to be the headline position, because

615
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 2: that is who touches the ball every play and can

616
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 2: take you from being an average team to at least

617
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 2: an interesting team. And you look at some of the

618
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 2: teams that are in the playoff and Indiana was in

619
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 2: Indiana and then Curtis Rourke is one of the better

620
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 2: quarterbacks in the Big Ten this last season under Kurtz

621
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 2: Signetty and that was a huge difference maker. Obviously, Dylan

622
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 2: Gabriela on the number one team. Like you look across

623
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 2: the board Will Howard at Ohio State that you can

624
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 2: find a quarterback to take you from or either maintain

625
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 2: an excellent status or take you from bad to decent,

626
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 2: decent to good, and so yeah, I mean, Miller Moss

627
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 2: is an interesting name, and I think he is looking

628
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 2: at supposedly reportedly like Missoo and Louisville Thomas Castellanos perhaps

629
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 2: reigniting hit the Spark with Gus Malson he was UCF

630
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 2: and now looking at Florida State. Darien Mensa is a

631
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 2: big name Tulane and has He's especially interesting because he

632
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 2: has a lot of time. Syracuse is a name that

633
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 2: has come up with him obviously having a lot of

634
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 2: success with Kyle McCord as a transfer.

635
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: So I don't know.

636
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 2: Quarterback, you look at Jackson Arnold is supposedly Mississippi State,

637
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 2: Mississippi State heavy. We'll see, yeah, yeah, And you know, Connor,

638
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 2: I think there's going to be somebody if he lands

639
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 2: at the right spot that there are people that are

640
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 2: going to say, like, well, you know, he's had shaky

641
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 2: offensive line play and bad injury luck and you get

642
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 2: the right place with the right offensive line and the

643
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 2: right coordinator, you know, and sometimes you just need a

644
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 2: fresh start. Maybe he's the next Bo Nicks, you know,

645
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 2: coming in as a highly regarded guy and it just

646
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 2: didn't work out, a lot of changes around him. Somebody

647
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 2: like that I think could be interesting and sort of

648
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 2: obviously gave everything he had to Texas A and m

649
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 2: Devin Brown at Ohio State them in super well regarded

650
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 2: and he's staying through the playoff I believe he mentioned,

651
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 2: so he seems to be somebody who's sort of doing it.

652
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if the right way. That's sort of

653
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 2: like a weird way to define it. But like he's

654
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 2: remaining pretty loyal to Ohio State, so I think you should,

655
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 2: if you're an Ohio State person, regard him pretty highly. Yeah,

656
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 2: across the board, I think you're going to see quarterbacks

657
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 2: being the big names. It seems to be like a

658
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 2: pretty deep interesting receiver classes.

659
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 3: Oh Man, I got the page loaded up right now.

660
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: It's always going to be the case. It's always interesting.

661
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 3: Receiver is always going to be interesting, And a lot

662
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 3: of these guys aren't going to hit with their new team.

663
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: They're just not.

664
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 3: I feel like the hit rate might even be lower

665
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 3: with receivers. I don't have any data to back that up.

666
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 3: That's completely anecdotal. But some of the names in the portal,

667
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 3: my man, some of the names in the portal are

668
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 3: definitely going to move the needle for teams that we

669
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 3: root for.

670
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: CJ.

671
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,760
Speaker 3: Daniels a pretty big one from LSU and the portal,

672
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 3: Casey Concepcion. I believe we talked about that at some

673
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,720
Speaker 3: point here over the last couple of days.

674
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 2: Supposedly hot and heavy with Bama maybe old miss looking SEC.

675
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

676
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 3: I saw that Caleb Burton, a name from from Auburn,

677
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 3: I think could be of interest for some others scrolling

678
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,959
Speaker 3: through the list here, Dane Key and Barrion Brown, both

679
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,959
Speaker 3: from Kentucky, both in the portal YEP, seems like there'd

680
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 3: be some interest there. Believe it was Dane Key who

681
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 3: I talked about extensively last year with some issues he

682
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 3: had with Drops. Didn't quite have those Drops issues last

683
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 3: or this season, but there were other issues at play

684
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 3: clearly within that Kentucky offense, so understand why he might

685
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 3: want to look elsewhere. Eric Singleton seems like he's a

686
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 3: pretty big name. Oh yeah in this portal class and

687
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 3: right now as I look at this, it seems like

688
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,760
Speaker 3: there's interest from Georgia, there's interest from Auburn. But Eric Singleton,

689
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 3: with what he did at Georgia Tech, that's a pretty

690
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 3: big loss for the Yellow Jackets, and it's definitely going

691
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 3: to be a pretty big gain for whoever decides they're

692
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 3: going to be able to reel him in. So Eric

693
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 3: Singleton's another one. John tay Cook. We mentioned John tay

694
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 3: Cook before. John tay Cook, now officially in the transfer

695
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 3: portal from Texas, was lightly used at Texas, but still

696
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 3: a name that I think is of note for people

697
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 3: who follow these things. We're going to continue to see

698
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,959
Speaker 3: more and more names get added. If history is any

699
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 3: guide with respect to the transfer portal, it's one of

700
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 3: those where we just have named creep and creep and

701
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 3: creep and creep and creep. Sure, and suddenly there's gonna

702
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 3: be one that you don't expect. That sort of gets

703
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 3: everybody talking. But it's still sort of early days with

704
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 3: respect to this portal. As you said, for sure, the

705
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 3: big names are going to be on the quarterback side

706
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 3: of things, but we're going to continue to see others

707
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 3: trickle in on both sides of the football, So we'll.

708
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,439
Speaker 1: Do our best to stay up to date.

709
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 3: We did our past here to try and get a

710
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 3: portal guest on, but obviously it's a bit of a

711
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 3: busy day, so weren't able to make that happen today.

712
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 1: We'll maybe try for that the next time around.

713
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's it's also based on what happens with

714
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 2: coordinators and head coaches. Obviously, then you're going to see

715
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 2: guys entering and following or entering and starting a new

716
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 2: path whatever with the guy who recruited them there, or

717
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 2: the head coach being fired and finding some new landing spot.

718
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 2: And I saw Geovanni mccoyt Oregon State. We'll see what

719
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 2: happens with John Mattier lost his offensive coordinator. Had a

720
00:36:56,040 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 2: great season mostly for Washington State. And so, you know,

721
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 2: that's why it's sort of a continuous fluid thing, is

722
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 2: because it's all tied together. I'm fascinated to see, you know,

723
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,720
Speaker 2: the position group that seems to be the most difficult

724
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 2: and the most scarce is going to be offensive line.

725
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 2: It just seems, for whatever reason, it's really difficult to

726
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 2: pull guys off of rosters or convinced guys to leave

727
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 2: whatever that you see it from. I think it's an

728
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 2: Illinois State offensive tackle is super well regarded in this

729
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 2: just because he's got the physical makeup to come in.

730
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 2: And you know, Oregon starting a Rhode Island transfer, an

731
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 2: FCS transfer a right tackle, and they have for the

732
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 2: past two years. And so if I'm any if I'm

733
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 2: representing any of those guys, I'm asking for the moon.

734
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

735
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 2: In this moment, if I'm you know, representing a pretty

736
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 2: good to very good offensive line prospect, that's that's where

737
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 2: it seems extraordinarily rare and valuable to like, oh, we

738
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 2: can shore up the right side of our line and

739
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 2: you know, don't even think about it kind of way,

740
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 2: like that's that's going to cost you a pretty penny.

741
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 2: You're going to see, you know, guys along the defensive line.

742
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 2: You know, I think Alabama lost well they jahim Otis

743
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 2: left midway through the year. Obviously, Bear Alexander was a

744
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 2: big name. He's visiting schools, it seems, or is about

745
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 2: to start visiting schools, and you know, the best of

746
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 2: Bear Alexander's very difficult to deal with, perhaps in more

747
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 2: ways than one, but that is you know, that's going

748
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,879
Speaker 2: to be a huge name if a team can get

749
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 2: the best of him. And you know you're going to

750
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 2: see a lot of teams talking themselves into like, well,

751
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 2: he was a four star who went to Texas. He's

752
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 2: a four star who went to Ohio State, was a

753
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 2: four star who went to Florida and hoping for the best,

754
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 2: and a lot of these guys, you like see the

755
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 2: announcement and they're like, he had eight hundred and forty

756
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 2: four receiving yards in his career over the past five years,

757
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 2: and you're just like, wait, that doesn't amount to a

758
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 2: lot ty That does not amount to a ton of yardage.

759
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: Now, if we're.

760
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 2: Talking about incoming as a star starter kind of type.

761
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 2: So no, it's it's all gonna be fascinating. It's all

762
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 2: going to happen very quickly, and you are going to

763
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 2: see the same teams Colorado, Ole, Myths, Texas, Oregon, Ohio

764
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 2: State hitting the portal to fill in those gaps that

765
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:13,760
Speaker 2: we've seen every year.

766
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 1: And you're going to.

767
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 2: See teams like Alabama or Texas, A and M who

768
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 2: had first year coaches. They're going to lose a bunch

769
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 2: and they're going to bring in a bunch. And I

770
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 2: think they're gonna bring a bunch of good players, you know,

771
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 2: based on what we're seeing already that has entered the portal.

772
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 3: The name that I am most interested in, okay, is

773
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 3: Dylan Theeneman from oh Purdue Perdue, the defensive back. Yeah,

774
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 3: I mean he's from Indiana. We obviously understand there's a

775
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 3: lot going on at Purdue right now with the coaching change.

776
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 1: Looks like barriotam their tight end is good too. Zach Claire,

777
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:46,439
Speaker 1: I want to say, yeah.

778
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,720
Speaker 3: I mean typically when you've got coaching changes, you see

779
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 3: stuff like this go down. But Theeneman's a guy that

780
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 3: I think notre Dame needs to go in hard after

781
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 3: because he's relatively speaking, a local kid. Clearly Notre Dames

782
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 3: had a pretty good track record for developing safeties and

783
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 3: he's a guy who I think come in and make

784
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 3: an impact. So I'm not making the pitch. I'm advising

785
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 3: they make the pitch to try and bring thetam into

786
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 3: South Bend.

787
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't have a wish list for Oregon. I

788
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 2: imagine they're going to look at offensive line, running back,

789
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 2: maybe a receiver, maybe a safety or two. But obviously

790
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 2: they've recruited quite well. Tight End is interesting. Tight End

791
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 2: is certainly interesting. They whiffed on a couple of targets

792
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 2: in this recruiting class top five types, so I think

793
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 2: they want to build up depth there. But yeah, they

794
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 2: lose two of the three guys they play the snaps

795
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 2: this year, so yeah, that would be my expectation for Oregon.

796
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 2: They will in all likelihood not be starting another new

797
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 2: transfer at quarterback. They'll be starting last year's transfer at

798
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 2: Dante More at quarterback next year.

799
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 3: I think the name that I am most interested in

800
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 3: this entire cycle is Anthony Andrea from really Uva.

801
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: Yeah why.

802
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 3: Out of high school? So Clandrea is from Saint Petersburg.

803
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 3: Out of high school. There was a lot of steam

804
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 3: on Calandrew, who I think was a three star not

805
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 3: getting enough love, being better than some of the recruiting rankings,

806
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 3: things like that, was not as heavily recruited as he

807
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 3: might be now. In the transfer portal, I think at

808
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 3: time of recording, he figures in as a top ten

809
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:31,760
Speaker 3: guy in the transfer portal.

810
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: By the way it was, it was Max Claire, let

811
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,720
Speaker 1: me be Claire, Zach Claire, Max Claire.

812
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 3: But Clandrey not a big guy. I don't even think

813
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 3: he's six foot. But I think over the course of

814
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 3: his two years in Virginia when we've seen him, has

815
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 3: definitely shown flashes like he's a fun player to watch,

816
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 3: if nothing more. Sure, I don't know where he ends up.

817
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 3: I don't know what the future holds for him. I

818
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 3: don't necessarily think he's a pro prospect, but I just

819
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 3: I tend to gravitate towards players that are kind of

820
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 3: improvisers and fun and I think he kind of checks

821
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 3: those boxes. It would not surprise me if he catches

822
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 3: on with somebody down in the state of Florida. I

823
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 3: have not seen an your rumor, so I could be

824
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 3: well off on that, but Calandrey is a name that,

825
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 3: for me anyway, is one of the more interesting names

826
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 3: here in this entire portal.

827
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 2: Utah down three quarterbacks obviously made a change in offensive coordinator,

828
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 2: but Brandon Rose, Isaac Wilson, and Sam sam Hewart, a

829
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 2: former five star, will be onto his fourth school. I

830
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 2: believe Washington cal Poly Utah.

831
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, does that mean that cam Risen's coming back for

832
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 3: a year number ninety nine?

833
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 2: I have no idea. They'll probably get a They'll probably

834
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 2: get a transfer in from somewhere else. I've seen smoke

835
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,240
Speaker 2: around a couple guys with Utah. I mean, it's also

836
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 2: dependent on what else happens with the head coach. I

837
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 2: guess at this point we presume Cale Winton back, but

838
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 2: who knows. Yeah, it's fascinating, it is. I mean again,

839
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 2: I wasn't joking.

840
00:42:58,400 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: TJ.

841
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 2: Finley is heading towards his fifth destination. That's incredible. That

842
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,280
Speaker 2: is legitimately incredible. And you knew something was going to

843
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 2: to break at Ohio State with that room because it is.

844
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 2: I think they have a top flight quarterback the next

845
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 2: class or this current class they signed, so it's air

846
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 2: Nolan was the last class Julian saying they poached from

847
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 2: Alabama when Nick Saban left. They had Lincoln Keenholtz, who

848
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:29,760
Speaker 2: played a little bit in their Bowl game against Missoo

849
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 2: last year. If memory serves, he was a four star type.

850
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 2: And obviously Will Howard's gone after this season, and then

851
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 2: Tavian Saint Clair great name coming in, so I expect

852
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,280
Speaker 2: Domino's at some of those big places that have stacked

853
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 2: quarterbacks these past few years. That's just the reality of it.

854
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 2: But man, is it it's just starting to spin. This

855
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 2: portal portal carousel, Yeah.

856
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: The portal carousel. Yeah.

857
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 3: And on that note, with regard to carousel's the final

858
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 3: thing that I wanted to discuss on this podcast today.

859
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 3: It is not breaking news, It is not any kind

860
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 3: of promotion for a game, and it is not the

861
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 3: transfer portal. It is these persistent, now more persistent rumors

862
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,240
Speaker 3: that Bill Belichick may be the coach at North Carolina.

863
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 2: Dan Man, what is the latest reporting that like talks

864
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 2: are ongoing?

865
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: Was that the last you saw.

866
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 3: The last I saw was from Adam Schefter. That was

867
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 3: this morning, sort of confirming what Pete Thamil's been saying,

868
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 3: which is, talks are ongoing, they're interested in Belichick. Belichick

869
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 3: seemed interested in them. There's some sort of clause perhaps

870
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 3: that would maybe turn the program over to Belichick's son

871
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 3: if and when he walks away in that that did

872
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 3: not put unc off.

873
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: Who's currently the defensive coordinator at Washington. Correct. Yeah, correct.

874
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 3: I don't know if you want to hit your wagon

875
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 3: that much to Bill Belichick. I do understand that there

876
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 3: would be perhaps a recruiting draw there, come and play

877
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 3: for perhaps the greatest NFL coach of all time. So

878
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 3: as a lot of these guys are getting ready trying

879
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 3: to figure out where they want to go, talk about

880
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 3: somebody who can get you ready for the NFL. That

881
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 3: is something that Bill Belichick has in his quiver.

882
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 1: For sure.

883
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:19,479
Speaker 3: He's never coached, at least not in a while at

884
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:26,359
Speaker 3: the college level. Right, signing up to essentially establish a

885
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,839
Speaker 3: Belichick dynasty of coaches doesn't seem like a great deal

886
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 3: for North Carolina unless it works. Unless it works, then

887
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 3: maybe that's different. But just seems like it may not

888
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 3: be worth the trouble.

889
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 2: I'm so confused by this. I'm so confused that this

890
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 2: is just an exercise in North Carolina, making it seem

891
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 2: so attractive that the greatest NFL coach ever. I think

892
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 2: that's what he is right with the you consider the

893
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 2: Super Bowls, so previously on Bill Pelichick's tenure as an

894
00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 2: NFL coach, it was going terribly wrong, right Like he

895
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 2: actively was told that we we're good. The greatest coach ever.

896
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:09,439
Speaker 2: So that's not great momentum wise. Also, when you look

897
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 2: at the hires that have worked out really well in

898
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,919
Speaker 2: college football, and you have to assume North Carolina wants

899
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 2: is hired to work out really well, it's typically somebody

900
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 2: who has spent time in or around a major program

901
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 2: to sort of understand the rhythms, to have high school

902
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 2: recruiting connections, to have portal connections guys they've recruited that

903
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 2: they can bring with them, or have sort of an

904
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 2: idea of what it is to work in major college

905
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:41,760
Speaker 2: football in twenty twenty four to twenty five, and grind

906
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 2: on the recruiting trail, grind in the portal, have the

907
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 2: ability and the network to build out a front office

908
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,760
Speaker 2: to get all of that organized, to maintain the current

909
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 2: players on the roster. Bill Belichick checks none of those boxes,

910
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 2: like you're not gonna find Maybe you won't find the

911
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,879
Speaker 2: next Dan Lanning or something, but like, find the next

912
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 2: Brent Key, find the next Fran Brown, find the next

913
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 2: Mike Elcho. And this isn't it, man, You're finding the

914
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 2: next Herm Edwards.

915
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 3: Belichick has never coached at the college level. Obviously his

916
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:20,919
Speaker 3: son has. Right, Clearly, he's got the name. He's got

917
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 3: the name. This I hate this whole thing. He's got

918
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 3: the name. And if if Dion has taught us anything,

919
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 3: it's set. Having that name can matter.

920
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 2: Similar personalities Bill Belichick and Dion Sanders, right, but Bill.

921
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 3: Belichick does not have the swagger of coach prime.

922
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 2: Dion Sanders was a college football coach before he was

923
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,919
Speaker 2: at Colorado. He was at Jackson State and did incredibly

924
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 2: well and recruited, had connections. Bill Belichick is on the

925
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 2: Manning cast saying like, I don't know if I would

926
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 2: have done that. Insane What an insane line of thinking.

927
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 2: If it is januine, if it's genuine, what a waste

928
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 2: of time for.

929
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 1: North Carolina to go through this. Okay, to your team,

930
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: to your programs, your school. I couldn't believe it when

931
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: I saw this, Oh my god, this is gonna be

932
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 1: a great story for us if it happened.

933
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 2: To hand it off to his son in two years. Yeah,

934
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 2: come on, it's pathetic. Try North Carolina at least try,

935
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 2: naybe it'll work. No, you know it's not gonna work.

936
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 2: In what universe? Is Bill Belichick going to be like

937
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 2: watching cutups of the elite eleven?

938
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: I know?

939
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 2: Is he gonna be like flying getting on a plane

940
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,799
Speaker 2: after practice to go and fly and watch a linebacker

941
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 2: commit play in Tampa? No, Hire a real coach, a

942
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 2: real college coach. Hire somebody with a vision to say

943
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 2: I've been successful doing this as a defense coordinator or

944
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:04,399
Speaker 2: a DB's coach, or receivers coach or an offensive coordinator, and.

945
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 1: This is what. Look at all these guys I recruited.

946
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: Look at all these connections I have. This is the

947
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: vision I have.

948
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,879
Speaker 2: These are the coaches I'll bring with me my son

949
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 2: in two years.

950
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,320
Speaker 1: So silly if true?

951
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:22,280
Speaker 2: Again true, we could be just I'd be dumb dumbs

952
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 2: reacting to a non story here. But I don't know.

953
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 2: Try North Carolina. You seem to be a really cool

954
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 2: school to me from afar with potential.

955
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,839
Speaker 1: I've been agad I didn't get in I wasn't smart enough,

956
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 1: and I was. I'm sure it wouldn't have been smart enough.

957
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah I applied. Yeah, I don't know, man, this bums

958
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: me out these types of stories.

959
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 3: It makes for good fodder though, if nothing more, I

960
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 3: guess I don't know about football all right. Well, on

961
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 3: that note, thank you one, Thank you all for downloading,

962
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,280
Speaker 3: for listening, for supporting, going out to verbowlers dot com

963
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 3: sign up at a minimum for that freak tier. I'm

964
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 3: gonna be sending out news about Bowl Bingo a little

965
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 3: bit later this week when we open the game. Bull

966
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 3: Bingo is going to be a weekly game, as opposed

967
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,240
Speaker 3: to what we've done in the past with Winter Wonders,

968
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 3: where that was a confidence pool. You could fill it

969
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 3: out once and be done with it. The problem with

970
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 3: a confidence pool in this day and age, with respect

971
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 3: to the bowl games, it's very difficult to have any

972
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 3: confidence whatsoever because everything is changing all the time. So

973
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 3: we wanted to simplify a little bit. We wanted to

974
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 3: make it a little bit more straightforward. The way this

975
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 3: game is going to work, and you will see more

976
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,320
Speaker 3: once we open it up later this week. Each week,

977
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 3: over the span of four or five weeks, you will

978
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 3: have an opportunity to fill out a College Football Bowl

979
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 3: bingo card. Got to pick a couple items that you

980
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 3: think are going to occur. Dan and I are going

981
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 3: to put together the bank of items that you get

982
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 3: to pick from. So on an ongoing basis. Once a

983
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,320
Speaker 3: week we'll open up the games. I think maybe Sunday

984
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 3: Monday morning, you will have the opportunity to go in

985
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 3: there fill out your bingo card of the things you

986
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 3: think are going to happen. We will have weekly prizes,

987
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 3: we will have an overall prize.

988
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 2: So give me examples. By the way, if things we

989
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 2: think we're going to happen, like running back goes over

990
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty yards, successful fake punt called and executed,

991
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 2: lightning delay, you know whether it's specific to a football

992
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 2: play or you know it'll be obvious. It won't be

993
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:32,320
Speaker 2: something like somebody catches a fade in the corner of

994
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 2: the end.

995
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 1: Z and you're like, well technically that wasn't a fad.

996
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no no no no no no exactly, well,

997
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 3: very specific. We're talking about things like Minnesota minus three

998
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 3: against Virginia Tech. Sure, rightly, that one's very I don't

999
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 3: know if that's the points for it.

1000
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 1: I'm making that up.

1001
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's something that's very straightforward. In some cases, we

1002
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 3: might have Baylor passing yards against LSU the over under.

1003
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:59,959
Speaker 3: So it's a mix of bets, a mix of point

1004
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 3: spread bets, a mix of prop bets that we have

1005
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:06,280
Speaker 3: had throughout the year, through our other game run the Board,

1006
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 3: which concluded this week, with a mix of other things

1007
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 3: that you and I come up with. So it is

1008
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 3: not just your standard Bowl game that you are accustomed

1009
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 3: to playing, your pick them, your Bowl confidence pool, anything

1010
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 3: of that nature.

1011
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 1: This is a mix of all the bets.

1012
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 3: We're going to pick out some of the ones that

1013
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 3: we think are fun. On an ongoing basis, you will

1014
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 3: get an opportunity to fill out your Bingo cards. You

1015
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 3: can keep track of them throughout the course of the week,

1016
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 3: and then if it doesn't go well, the good news

1017
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 3: you can play again the following week. And it's entirely free.

1018
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 3: It's entirely free to play. The only thing you need

1019
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 3: to do is going out to verbowlers dot com and

1020
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,520

Speaker 3: open up a little bit later on this week. We

1025

Speaker 3: will be teasing this out across our social fee using

1026
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 3: the very cool logo that you put together, which is

1027
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 3: it's a cool I can't do that.

1028
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 2: I hit it, by the way, hit the people with

1029
