1
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: I gotta say I've seen some mail bag shows come

2
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: and go in my day. Jesse and Collin, I don't

3
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: know that we've ever had a mail bag this jam pack.

4
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: You couldn't even find a mail bag this jam pack

5
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 1: at Academy Sports Outdoors proudly presenting this show, mind you,

6
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: but it's here tonight, man.

7
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 2: What a loaded show. What a jam pack show.

8
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: HIATAPA splendid downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Weather of the year maybe today,

9
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: weather of the year and violence in the weather to

10
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: come this weekend. But that's why we're doing the show

11
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,959
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. I've got storm chasing duties Thursday, Friday, Saturday, so.

12
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 2: We're doing mail bag.

13
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: We're going all over the place, college football, non college football.

14
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: Someone wants to know my thoughts on the new Southwest

15
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: Airlines policy, which made me google new Southwest Airlines policy

16
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: and that got me really upset at about five thirty

17
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: pm today, So a wide variety. I'm wasting no time.

18
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Lincoln, Nebraska, Oxford, Alabama, Greensboro, North Carolina,

19
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: home of King of the Ring nineteen ninety nine, and Denver, Colorado.

20
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: Thank you guys so much. As I said, no show

21
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: on Thursday. That's why we're doing the show now cause

22
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: I am going to be headed probably to the west

23
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,279
Speaker 1: and then to the South for storm chasing. It's something

24
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: we do. It's just part of my life. If you're

25
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: new here, several thousand of you each week or new here,

26
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: so you don't know that I also chase tornadoes during

27
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: the spring. I think we'll have a fair amount of

28
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: them this Saturday, Real Deal, watching over Mississippi and Alabama

29
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: and beyond Georgia probably as well. Real Deal. So I'm

30
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: giving you ninety six hours heads up. I don't want

31
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: to hear any of you on the local news saying

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: it came out of nowhere. It's gonna be bad Saturday.

33
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: It's gonna be bad in the South Saturday. But it's

34
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: gonna be great tonight because we have a mail bag

35
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: in front of us, so let's dive in. I am.

36
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: This is my soft promise to you.

37
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to spend more than five minutes on

38
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: any one topic tonight. I'm not telling you to hold

39
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: me to it because I may have just lied, but

40
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to move through these as expeditiously as possible.

41
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: A word Colin dared me to put in the show,

42
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: and it's already in tonight. So first up here we go.

43
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: This one'll be nice and non controversial. Barnacle Boy good

44
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: friend of the program in Waller, Texas. He said, can

45
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: you rank the top jobs in the nation if you

46
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: assumed every job is open, similar to how you rank

47
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: the programs?

48
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 2: Very difficult task here.

49
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: I know which my I know which programs are my

50
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: top programs, but which jobs, if they were all open,

51
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: would be my top job.

52
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: So I've said for a long time.

53
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: That I thought, if Texas had its you know what together,

54
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: Texas is the top job in college football. I think

55
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: Texas has its you know what together right now. So

56
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: I think Texas is the top job in college football.

57
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: Everything I could ever need to win is there. Every

58
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: resource is there in abundance. Now, there will be detractors

59
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: who come in from in the corner and they'll say, well,

60
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: if it's all there, than how come Texas hasn't won. Well,

61
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't always there the way it needed to be.

62
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: Maybe the alignment wasn't always there. But I have reason

63
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: to believe they're well aligned. I have reason to believe Therefore,

64
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: if I'm the right guy. If I'm the best coach

65
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: in American and I get to pick where I go,

66
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: nothing's standing in my way there. The competition is still

67
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: going to be stiff, but I don't have any resource

68
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: that someone else has better than me. I've got access

69
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: to premier talent. Facilities are great, the NIL game is

70
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: top notch. It's Texas, you know, in contrary to popular

71
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: belief on this show, because they are also the number

72
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: one most hated team in America, not by us, but

73
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,119
Speaker 1: by everyone else. Yeah, I've got everything I need there,

74
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: So Texas won. Now I've got Georgia number two. Georgia

75
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: I had number one for a long time because of

76
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: the aforementioned issues at Texas. Georgia has always been a

77
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: gold mine because of the same reasons there, everything you've

78
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: ever needed to win has been at Georgia. I thought

79
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: for a long time growing up in Georgia that Georgia

80
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: did not reach realize this. Georgia let very good be

81
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: the enemy of them being great. Here was the problem.

82
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: When I was growing up in Georgia. It had been

83
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: a long time since anyone saw them compete for a

84
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: national championship and win one. So they didn't really know

85
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: what excellence looked like. I think Saban did them a favor.

86
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: I think urban Meyer did them a favor because they

87
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: came in and Mark Richt is an angel amongst us.

88
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: Mark Ricked was one of the best coaches in the country.

89
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: Probably wasn't ever gonna make Georgia fully elite though therefore

90
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: probably wasn't ever going to kick that hornet's nest. It

91
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: was always a hornet's nest. It just needed the Kirby

92
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: smart to come in the door and kick it.

93
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: Well.

94
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer showed them that if you don't do it,

95
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: someone else is going to do it. At Florida, Saban

96
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: showed him, if you don't do it, someone else is

97
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: going to do it at Alabama. So then Sabin did

98
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: it with Kirby at Alabama, and then Georgia said, well,

99
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: we'll go take Kirby since he's one of our own anyway,

100
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: And Kirby walked in and the first thing Kirby did

101
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: is said, you think good enough is enough?

102
00:04:58,839 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: It's not.

103
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: I oh, I just came from the place you want it.

104
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: You want to basically mirror, and I know how to

105
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: do it, but you gotta say yes to this. This

106
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: this and that, and Georgia finally did, which proved the

107
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: entire time for the right guy. Georgia was one of,

108
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: if not the top jobs in the country. I would

109
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: put Ohio State way way up on this list. I

110
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: would say Ohio State is the best job in the

111
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: Big Ten only because Ohio State has for a long

112
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: time been the place that blends it all.

113
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 2: Now, you could argue that.

114
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: In recent years some other programs have started to get

115
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: on the same wavelength. But for quite a while now

116
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: Ohio State has mixed the Big Ten sort of prestige

117
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: angle with the sec rabid nature when it all cost

118
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: kind of angles, and they've they've mashed those two concepts

119
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: which seem like oil and water, but they're really not.

120
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: I think urban Meyer, he's mentioned twice on the show now,

121
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: had a whole lot to do with that. Urban Meyer

122
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: was for the Ohio State job. I think the same

123
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: thing that Kirby was for the Georgia job. He kind

124
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: of went there and it was like the lawnmower and

125
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: he really just pulled the cord harder than anyone else

126
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: ever had immunity, And so I'd say Ohio State is

127
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: now fully the vision of what it always could have been.

128
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: It was always a top program, but I think there

129
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: was this extra gear that Urban showed them they could

130
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: kick it into Bama's here. I was talking to producer

131
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: Jesse when we were accumulating the list, and I said,

132
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: why wouldn't Bama be up there? I found my own

133
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: subconscious trying to do a lot of what I think

134
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: maybe yours is trying to do. You kind of try

135
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: to find a reason for Bama not to be there.

136
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: It's still elite. Everything about the Alabama job is still elite.

137
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: And if we're headed towards an era of revenue sharing,

138
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: you're parked there in the SEC. You got the best

139
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: tradition and history of any program in America SEC and beyond.

140
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: And while you may say that doesn't matter, I'm going

141
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: to tell you, yes, it absolutely does matter, because a

142
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: generation of kids is coming out of high school that

143
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: grew up on Nick Saban's Alabama. So if Kaylin debor

144
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: sells them on the idea that he's going to be

145
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: a winner there as well, or if the job's open

146
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,559
Speaker 1: and I'm the best in the country and I'm looking

147
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: at the limitless amounts of resources there, and then I

148
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: get to trade. I mean, the head coach there gets

149
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: to trade on the brand of Alabama. There's great alignment there.

150
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: That's why basketball is so good there as well. A

151
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: lot of these places in the South actually have gotten

152
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: there at together with basketball. So Alabama's there, the tradition,

153
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: the pageantry, rabbit fan base. No one's saying no to

154
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: you when it comes to football related issues there, So

155
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: I'm taking Alabama. LSU has always been way up there

156
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: on this list. Think about how many head coaches have

157
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: come through LSU this millennium and haven't won a national

158
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: championship one And it's the current head coach there because

159
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: Saban did it, and then Les Miles did it, and

160
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: then at orser Ron did it. All these dudes won

161
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: national championships. Brian Kelly remains to be seeing because the

162
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: final chapters of his career haven't been written and we

163
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: don't know how many chapters there are left. But everyone

164
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: up until Brian Kelly, in many of your lifetimes, if

165
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: you're of my younger crowd, has won a national title there.

166
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: Why Because it's hard to do, but very possible to do.

167
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: And if you get to tap into Louisiana, as Nick

168
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: Saban was probably the first to really show America there

169
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: is no better talent pool to tap into than the

170
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: Louisiana athlete. If you live in Boise, Idaho, Reno, Nevada, Albuquerque,

171
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: New Mexico. Thank you for watching the show or listening

172
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: to the show. Unless you've traveled, you have no clue

173
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. There is a different culture, lifestyle, vibe,

174
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: pride about growing up in the state of Louisiana and

175
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: playing for Louisiana State University. And everybody thinks they have that.

176
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: Some of you do, some of you don't. They've got it,

177
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: They've got it in Louisiana. It used to be that

178
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: guys grew up in Louisiana and they said, yeah, but

179
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go to Florida, or I'm gonna

180
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: have to go to Texas or Alabama. And then when

181
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: it became in vogue to be able to stay there

182
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: and compete for a national title, that became one of

183
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: the premier jobs in college football. The only questions along

184
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: the way periodically that you will have ever had about

185
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: LSU is is the alignment there, and that's not always

186
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: easy to see on the surface. So LSU's there. I

187
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: think Organ's there, which is just insane to say, because

188
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: all these other places are in huge population centers and

189
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: Organs clear out on the West coast. But yet they've

190
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 1: shown what we lack in geographical advantage. We're going to

191
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: make up for in the fact that we will not

192
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: be denied talent. So you can either look at that

193
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: and say shame on them and then post the money

194
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: bag emojis on Twitter, or you can realize, oh, that's

195
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: all fully le now, so why make fun of it?

196
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 2: Why not embrace it?

197
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: They do, and then you've got one of the most unique,

198
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: great game day settings in all of college football, great

199
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: color scheme, great branding, the whole Nike thing works to

200
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: your advantage. There's a duck that rides a motorcycle around

201
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: the job at Oregon, though has elevated.

202
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: Dan Lanning has something to do with it.

203
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 1: But Dan Lanning is also so blessed to have come

204
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: along in the perfect moment in the history of college

205
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: football to be the head coach at orgon so right place,

206
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: right time there. So those are six of them. I

207
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: know I left many off. That's non scientific. That's just

208
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: what came in my mind today. Academy sports and Outdoors,

209
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: you could probably get gear for every one of them,

210
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: pretty sure you could get that there. Or if you

211
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: just need a new sleeve of baseballs or a tee

212
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: to hit them off of, or a bat to hit

213
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: them with Academy Sports and Outdoors, if you need some

214
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: big League chew because you need the intimidation factor at

215
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: the plate big or they've got that at Academy Sports

216
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: and Outdoors as well. They've got you covered. The if

217
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: you don't have an Academy in your neighborhood, because you

218
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: have the Internet proven because you're watching or listening to

219
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: the show, so Academy dot Com has you set up.

220
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: They are the presenting partner of this show. This show

221
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: has brought to you courtesy of Academy. We appreciate them

222
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: now and forever. They've been with us virtually from the beginning.

223
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: All right, mailbag rolls merrily along. Here. We had a

224
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: ton of good stuff. Thank you guys for watching live.

225
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: By the way, if you are Nathan from Huntsville, Alabama,

226
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: hit me, he said. How do you view the landscape

227
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: of sports media seemingly moving more and more towards employing

228
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: past players and coaches. Do you think as time goes on,

229
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: it'll only get harder for non ex players to gain

230
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: a following or be employed by big networks. I see

231
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: this completely opposite to you, Nathan. I don't think it's

232
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: ever been easier for former athletes and coaches to gain

233
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: employment because you've never had more entry points to the space.

234
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: It's really a phenomenal time to be some one like

235
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: me because I didn't play college football or in the NFL.

236
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: I didn't coach in college football or the NFL. But

237
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: yet here I am talking about it. Well, how does

238
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: that happen? Well, it happen because of something like YouTube,

239
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: something like podcast feeds, something like the digital media revolution

240
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: sort of happening over the last decade or so. And

241
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: what that did is didn't guarantee you anything. If you suck,

242
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: no one's going to listen to you. If you're not interesting,

243
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: no one's going to listen to you. But at least

244
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: now it gives you a mechanism where there are more

245
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: than two or three network executives that hold the key

246
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: over your head. Now, if you think you can do it,

247
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: you can prove it. You got prove it.

248
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 2: You don't have to be hired by one of those places.

249
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 2: To prove it. And then the other thing about that is.

250
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: Do I'll ask you, Nathan, but anyone listening to me

251
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: can answer this because I realized this a long time ago.

252
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: Do you hang out with people you can't relate to?

253
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: I mean, regularly hang out with people that you can't

254
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: relate to? Do you spend every day talking to someone

255
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: that you don't have a whole lot in common with?

256
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: Maybe your answer is yes, most of your answers are no.

257
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: You may know people that you don't have anything in

258
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: common with, but do you hang out a lot with them? No,

259
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: because that's how you really construct your social circle. There

260
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: are minor differences, but there's a lot of overlap, and

261
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: that creates friendships and relationships, and that creates your social circle. Well,

262
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: what I realized a long time ago, when the digital

263
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: media age started to come is if people have the

264
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: option and it's not just what's being force fed to

265
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: them on one, two or three networks, they're gonna choose

266
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: to go down the path that is most relatable. They're

267
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: gonna choose to listen to who they relate to the most.

268
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: I started doing this back when podcasting started to become big.

269
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: I found the guys who do the solid verbal tie

270
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: and down still listen to it today.

271
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 2: I related to them.

272
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: They felt like my friends, even though I had never

273
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: met them before in my life. They connected with me

274
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: more than anyone on a network was connecting with me.

275
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: So when I would drive up to Atlanta and back

276
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: to see people, which I did a lot back in

277
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: the day, I would listen to them and I thought,

278
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: neither one of these dudes play college football. Neither one

279
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: of these dudes is coach college football. Yet I find

280
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: myself anticipating the podcast that they release over watching something

281
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: that emanates from a studio worth millions of dollars. Well,

282
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: it's because of relatability. So here's the advantage you have.

283
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: Who's more relatable to the average fan than the average fan?

284
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: And conversely, how does someone who just spent fifteen or

285
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: twenty years making millions of dollars coaching or playing a

286
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: game come back down to earth and relate to the

287
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: average fan. And the answer is it's hard. It's really

288
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: hard to do. It's a lot more easy to relate

289
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: to the mass audience if you're a part of the

290
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: mass audience. So Nathan, I would say quite the opposite. Yeah,

291
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: you see athletes, former coaches, athlete. Yeah, they're always going

292
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: to have jobs. There's always a very very valuable seat

293
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: for them. There's no there's no replacing the expertise that

294
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: those guys have and that they can yield and offer

295
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: and whatnot. But there's a place for everyone. Now, next up, Oh,

296
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: this ought to be fun.

297
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 2: We should have led with this. Oh, we should have

298
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 2: led with this.

299
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: Our good friend Javier hit me with one of the

300
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: more pressing questions of our time. He said, why do

301
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: you personally hate Clemson? Well, Javier, I don't don't start

302
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: that with me. See, here's what's happening. Here's what's happening.

303
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: I never want the blame. One of the key rules

304
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: on this show is don't lose to food. One of

305
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: the other key rules on this show is I want

306
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: the credit without the blame. So Clemson is rolling and

307
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: recruiting now, and I can't help but feel partially responsible.

308
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: I said it. No one else is gonna say it,

309
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: so I said it. I said what needed to be said,

310
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: And now you guys don't have to say what you

311
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: should say.

312
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say it for you.

313
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: Two words I'm going to deliver to you and those

314
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: two words are You're welcome.

315
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 2: Every Clemson fan watching, You're welcome.

316
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: Now what are you talking about, Josh, Well, Clemson now

317
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: has the number two class in the country. Yes, it's marched,

318
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: and we're looking at class rankings. They've got the number

319
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: two class in the country. They've picked up over half

320
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: a dozen commits in the past week. And I think

321
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: we can all agree at this point, love hate, indifferent

322
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: to the show. It's mostly on us. We mostly precipitated this.

323
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: Now we do have friends. We do have allies in

324
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: the Clemson community. Adam for example, friend of the program.

325
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: One of them posted the following on x formerly known

326
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: as Twitter today. He said this will not be popular

327
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: with the anti Josh Pate Clemson crowd, but nothing he

328
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: said was wrong. Turn the volume up, Adam, He continues.

329
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: He said, if Dabbo doesn't make changes, Clemson would decline.

330
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: Dabo has made changes, along with stating himself that profit

331
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: sharing would help. And now we're back to getting accused

332
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: of cheating. That's just his fun way at the end

333
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: of saying, now we're recruiting so well again, people are

334
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: accusing us of nefarious activities and whomstead of ever thought

335
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: Clemson would be accused of such things, so Adam dead

336
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: on the money. He shortly thereafter had to go into

337
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: witness protection because the faral two percent of Clemson internet

338
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: came after him. So here is the situation. I am

339
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: still gonna shoot straight with you. I don't hate Clemson.

340
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: Quite the opposite. I don't hate Dabo. I actually love

341
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: Dabo Swiney. Let's be clear, these are great signs, Javier,

342
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: these are great things that are happening. They're happening in March.

343
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: So we can do a couple of things. We can

344
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: be excited about it. We can be cautiously excited about

345
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: it because what we have seen and you've probably found

346
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: yourself in this position before, Javier, if South Carolina or

347
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: Florida State picks up a five star defensive end next week,

348
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: you may have in the past been the first person

349
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: to say, oh, it's only March, he'll decommit.

350
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough. So let's also have.

351
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: That cautiously optimistic attitude. Now that we've landed these kids

352
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 1: number two, we need more of them for Clemson to

353
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: be what Clemson was. We need to stack weeks like this. Obviously,

354
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: you can't land seven every week. The math doesn't add up,

355
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: especially when you retain players like Clemson's done. We need

356
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: them to stick. That goes without saying twenty twenty five

357
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: is not a season that's in question. Twenty twenty five

358
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: is lined up, all things considered, about as well as

359
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: you could have it for Clemson. A lot of good

360
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: production returning. I've got a good quarterback, offensive coordinator, synergy.

361
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: We just won the conference, but yet we got bounced

362
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: in the first round of the playoffs. So there's a

363
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: lot of hunger. And so we got everything we need

364
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,959
Speaker 1: for twenty five. It's twenty six and beyond that. Even

365
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: though these are promising signs, we still have questions about.

366
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: I still have questions about. But I did want to

367
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: show you one other thing. The sidelines account for Clemson

368
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: posted this today. I'm gonna read it. It's gonna make

369
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: some of you sick. I'll address it on the back end.

370
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: It says, if you're listening on pod culture plus money

371
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: is greater.

372
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: Than just money, and then it continues.

373
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: He said, that's why Clemson is becoming one of the

374
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: best landing.

375
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: Spots for these high school guys.

376
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: There's loyalty in these hills loyalty you can't find anywhere else.

377
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: This staff and this school cares about the men we

378
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: bring on board, not just the players they are.

379
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 2: Dabbo has always.

380
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: Been big on that having the money now is just

381
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,479
Speaker 1: the nail and the coffin to other universities. Now, Javier,

382
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: I want you to lean in close. Any good Clemson

383
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: hater out there would dunk on this. This is not

384
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: only bathing in the kool aid. This is slurping the

385
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: kool aid up and spewing it back in your face,

386
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: triple H style. This is like the tajery Mist of

387
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: the ECW days, A lot of references that just lost

388
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: the non pro wrestling crowd. But any good Clemson hater

389
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: would look at that and laugh. Colin, could you do

390
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: me a favor, Could you put that back up for

391
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: just a second, because I want to tell you something. Yes,

392
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: there is a solid orange tent to this attitude.

393
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 2: But he is not wrong.

394
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: I believe a lot of what he just said is

395
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: true because I've known a lot of guys who've played

396
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: for Clemson. I've known guys who've coached up there, and

397
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: I've known many.

398
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 2: Kids who took visits there.

399
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 1: Clemson is different all the stuff Dabboswenny preaches is not

400
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: lip service. He does not say anything they don't fully

401
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: believe in. Up there doesn't matter if you agree with

402
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: all his tactics or not. That's a separate conversation. But

403
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: there's a theory here that could have some validity to it.

404
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: In fact, I think it has a lot of validity

405
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: to it. I am a believer that in the past,

406
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 1: if all things were equal, a bunch of kids would

407
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: have preferred to play for Clemson.

408
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 2: Maybe all things weren't equal.

409
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: Now I'm doing something with my hands here that indicates

410
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: a certain something, and it's an allegation, and I'm not

411
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: going to throw it any further than that, because the

412
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: allegations have been thrown Clemson's way as well. But there's

413
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: just a game that used to be played and now

414
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: with revenue sharing, it's sort of kind of a moot

415
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: point at the very least put on the back burner.

416
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: But he's not wrong about this.

417
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: Everything he just said it sounds like propaganda, it's not

418
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: because there's a basis behind it.

419
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 2: So this is a good working theory.

420
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: We don't know for these dudes could decommit next week

421
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: and it all goes up in smoke. But if you

422
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: maintain this and we get towards the revenue sharing era,

423
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: and then Clemson is packaging what has always sold about

424
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: Clemson up with the fact that we can pay you

425
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: as much as they can, maybe those classes do start

426
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: to stack up and look very comparable the way they

427
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: didn't look last cycle. So cautiously optimistic. Hey, even the

428
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: Clemson haters amongst us cautiously optimistic. Let's move along. Good

429
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: mail bag question, though, why do you hate Clemson? A

430
00:21:53,640 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: great mailbag question? Uh, let's do the stadium question next. Yes,

431
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: lingering effects, folks, you just heard it there. Lingering effects

432
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: from the devastating flu like symptoms that I was battling

433
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: the other night. Didn't get tested on this fifth anniversary

434
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: of COVID. We did not get tested. But I'm on

435
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: the rebound. I'd call myself a solid eighty percent tonight.

436
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: Matt from Athens, GA. He said, I want to start

437
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: going to more games in person. What's the best venue

438
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: and atmosphere to check out in college football? This is

439
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: not an exhaustive list, Matt, but I have gathered several

440
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: of my personal favorites. I love the Cotton Bowl for

441
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: ou Texas so much that when I was in Dallas

442
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 1: last week, I drove over there when it was empty.

443
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: That's how much I love that place. Fair is not

444
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: going on, it's just over there. It just sits there

445
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: all year. I don't even know what else they do there,

446
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: but it's an amazing place. It's dilapidated, it's decrepit, it's

447
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: infested with locusts, everything you could possibly love. Very few

448
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: luxury suites. It's great, pee in a trough instead of

449
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: a urinal wonderful, and it's split right down the middle.

450
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: And then if you're so lucky as to have a

451
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: credential to this event, you can do like I'm doing

452
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: in this footage right here and watch the first half

453
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: and then take your happy little stuff up the ramp,

454
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: go buy some tickets, get your funnel cake, and go

455
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: play carnival games over at the Texas State Fair. During halftime,

456
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: win a chicken, still got that thing in my closet,

457
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: and polish off the funnel cake and there's the powdered

458
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: sugar on the glistening black shirt, and then head right

459
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: back down the tunnel.

460
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 2: Ooh, as the third quarter kicks off.

461
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: That really happened That's one of my favorite memories in

462
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: the history of our many tours that we've taken. So

463
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: go to the Cotton Bowl for OU Texas LSU. Everything

464
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: they've said about LSU's true. I've gone down there to

465
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 1: confirm it. Go down there when they play Bama or

466
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: if they get if they get like Texas in there,

467
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: they play them at night, any big conference game at night,

468
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: like that old Miss game last sure, I wasn't there

469
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: for it. That Ole Miss LSU game happened on the

470
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: same day as Ohio State, Oregon and Penn State USC

471
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: They were all classics. I think it was October twelfth

472
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: or something like that. But yeah, LSU at night just insane, unbelievable. Now,

473
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw one at you. That doesn't get a

474
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: lot of run nationally, only be cause most people haven't

475
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 1: been there. Husky Stadium in Washington. Who growing up in Georgia,

476
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: I would hear, you know, brock Heward talk about this

477
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: place every now and then, and I would think, yeah, okay,

478
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: he says that cost he has to. We went up

479
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: there two years ago for the Oregon game. It's amazing,

480
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: the scenery, the noise, the visual like it's a sensory overload.

481
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: It's an amazing place to go see a game. It's

482
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 1: in Seattle. You can get in and out pretty easily.

483
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: Look at that, like, that's what it looks like. This

484
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: is not AI that Colin is using here. That's not

485
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: a screen saver. That's real life. They are itch xdreamly

486
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: passionate up there, and it doesn't look like it's a

487
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: big deal. If you're from the Big Ten or the

488
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: SEC and you go to these one hundred plus thousand

489
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: seat venues, you look at a full open end zone

490
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: and you think, how loud could it be. It was

491
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: the loudest game that we went to that year. And

492
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: I went to all those places in the South that year.

493
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: So that right there on that Saturday against Oregon was

494
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: like being on a runway at Sea.

495
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 2: Tac which is the airport up there.

496
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 1: The rivalry games, matt if you've not been to the

497
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: Iron Bowl, especially going to jorden Hare Stadium when Alabama's there.

498
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: Jordenhair Stadium an incredible venue. You go there for you know,

499
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: Georgia coming in there, but go there for the Iron Bowl.

500
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: Go to Michigan. I went up to Michigan three four

501
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: years ago now, when they first beat Ohio State and

502
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: then went up there again two years later when they

503
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: beat them again, and those two places, but either either

504
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: of the stadiums. When those rivalry games are happening, you

505
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: will forget all of playoff implications or national championships. It's

506
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: just you're watching a historic rivalry that's been played for

507
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: longer than you've been around. Those people's years have revolved

508
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 1: around those three and a half hours on that Saturday.

509
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 2: Everything else doesn't exist. It's so great.

510
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: Everybody's attitude is just like we're willing to go over

511
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: a cliff emotionally to get this win. My favorite place

512
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: to go in all of college football is Notre Dame Stadium.

513
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: I've spoken about this before. Every one of these places

514
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: is great. This is going to a movie set. They're

515
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: just happening to play a football game there. Really really

516
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: is the scene of a movie. But it is for

517
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: everything you love about college football. If you want to

518
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: see it all packaged up and delivered perfectly in one place,

519
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: it's a Notre Dame home game. Granted, I've been there

520
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: for their biggest games, so I've been there perfect weather conditions.

521
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: I've been there for the Georgia game in the Ohio

522
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: State game a couple of years ago. I have never

523
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: felt like I was in a fake setting that was real.

524
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: That's a compliment, not a slight more than at Notre Dame.

525
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: You just look around during the day and you say,

526
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: I can't believe this is real. Counterpoint or side note,

527
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: I can't believe I grew up in Harris County, Georgia

528
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: and I'm here. That's also something I would have myself saying.

529
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: But I've got Notre Dame as my favorite. Actually, of

530
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: all the home campus venues to go to, that's my favorite.

531
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 2: Don't tell them that, but that's my favorite.

532
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 1: Penn State, of course, South Carolina most underrated venue in

533
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: college football. Neland Stadium. I mean, we've been there the

534
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: last two times they played Bama. They stormed the field

535
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: both times, and Nieland Stadium was it was everything it

536
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: is again. When I was a kid growing up, they

537
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: were on the cover of the video game, they were

538
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: on the video game commercial I remember growing up. And

539
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 1: then they sucked for a long time, so no one

540
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: cared about Niland because the didn't matter. And now they're

541
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: back and Kneeland's back is great. The swamp same thing

542
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: was down there for an Auburn game several years ago.

543
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 1: They beat Auburn, and that's an unbelievable venue. There are

544
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: a lot of them. Those are just some that come

545
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: to mind for me. Moving along, I hold in my

546
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: hand controversy, and it's the next question, whow I'm gonna

547
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: try not to get a sued. Jason from Austin, Texas said,

548
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on the Southwest bag policy and

549
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 1: seeding policy change? We just can't have nice things anymore.

550
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess not. I did not know about this,

551
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: and I fly Southwest all the time.

552
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 2: So here's what's happening. Twofold groin punch.

553
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: They're taking away the random seating and they're also as

554
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: of today announcing that May twenty eighth and beyond, you

555
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: don't get free checked bags anymore. Nobody, I guess of

556
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: the waning away fair. So Southwest's appeal forever was number one,

557
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: there's no assigned seats, and if you've never flown Southwest,

558
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: oh Man, thet's rules.

559
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:09,959
Speaker 2: Of the jungle.

560
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: And then number two, you didn't have to pay to

561
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: check your bags, even for the cheapest fare. You got

562
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: to check your bags for free. So Southwest looked around,

563
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,239
Speaker 1: apparently in a recent board meeting and said, all right,

564
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: what makes us different? Unique and great? And then people

565
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: wrote those things on a piece of paper and they said, okay,

566
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: scrap it all. Are we gonna scrap the name of

567
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: the airline as well? So yeah, obviously it's terrible. Now.

568
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: I read the policy and I'm exempt because I fly

569
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: Southwest so much. I'm a list preferred so I can

570
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: check my bag for free. But most of you don't

571
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: fly that much, so this is gonna screw you. And

572
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: at this point, I wonder, I just wonder.

573
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 2: What set Southwest.

574
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: Apart at this point, I don't know. There's no way.

575
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: This is where I need someone in the studio to

576
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: answer this question. I don't know. And what had to

577
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: change internally for them to look around and say, we've

578
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: been known forever for these policies, but we kind of

579
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: need to scrap both of them. Now. A lot of

580
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: you fly a lot, and you know about the open seating.

581
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: But it has occurred to me in talking to a

582
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: couple of people today about this, that many of you

583
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,239
Speaker 1: go years and years between taking a flight somewhere. Some

584
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: of you have never flown, some of you have never

585
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: flown Southwest, and so let me just explain to you

586
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: how insane this is, because you're not gonna believe this

587
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: exists if you don't know about it. So you fly Delta,

588
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: you purchase the seat and it says it on your ticket,

589
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: and you go sit in that seat. If your management,

590
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: it's going to be big and leathery and there's only

591
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: going to be two to the row. If you're like

592
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: the rest of us, you're going to be in the

593
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: three to a row. But that's okay. We all know

594
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: where we're sitting. If you fly American United may take

595
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: you a little longer, but same deal. Southwest looked at

596
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: how life works in the jungle and they said, what

597
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: if we used those rules, but we used it in

598
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: seating on our airplane and they said, I love it.

599
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,479
Speaker 1: And so what they do is they give you a

600
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: section A, B or C, and that depends on when

601
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: you check in. So like if I had a flight

602
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: at seven point thirty tomorrow, I would set my alarm

603
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: for seven twenty nine so that I could click refresh, refresh, refresh,

604
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: and boom check in right at twenty four hours before

605
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: the flight. And then you get your boarding group and

606
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: if you're a group, you'll be cool. B group, eh,

607
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: C group, You're done. You're gonna sit in the middle seat.

608
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: Because here's how it happens. You get on the plane,

609
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: you go sit wherever you want to. Legit, you just

610
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: go sit wherever you want to. Now, if you're on

611
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: there early enough, you know you can get an aisle seat,

612
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: or you can get you can get a window seat.

613
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: But friends, the C group terror sets in. God help

614
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: you if you're in the D group. D Group's only

615
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: a myth. I've never actually confirmed that it exists. But

616
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: C groupers have to get on and I have always

617
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: felt it's one of life's great lessons, one of life's

618
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: great teaching points. One of the great filtration systems societally

619
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: that we have had is the seaboarding group for Southwest

620
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: because you learn everything you need to know about yourself

621
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: because all that's left is middle seats. So if you're

622
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: not in good shape, if you're not keeping yourself to

623
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: a certain standard, you'll start to see people's body language

624
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: shift towards the middle. And if you've got the buddy

625
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 1: system worked out, then you've already just started holding hands

626
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: or like you know, me and Savannah State. One of

627
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: our favorite tactics is I'll be showing her something on

628
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: the phone, and we're occupying the middle seat while we

629
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: do that. But if we see someone walking towards us

630
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: that we think is desirable to sit in the middle,

631
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: if we know it's going to be a full flight,

632
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: just hey, hey, look, you do everything but call them

633
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: over there. So it it's like bullying, but without being bullied.

634
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: And I always thought it was a great teaching tool.

635
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: Get hurt, tears are shed, but in the end everyone

636
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: learns a little something about themselves.

637
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 2: But no longer. Apparently we're not going to do this anymore.

638
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: I don't know when this goes into effect, but I

639
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: gotta say I'm a little disappointed in Southwest Airlines state.

640
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: I thought I knew that airline and apparently I didn't.

641
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: Still though, see you guys next week. Next up, we

642
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: veer right back on to the road of college football.

643
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: Fortunately for most, Watts hit us up. Could be first name,

644
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: could be last name, could be neither, he said. Question

645
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: from Tallahassee, Florida, who do you think will be the

646
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: Indiana of next year? Someone who might have a favorable

647
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: schedule or made big off season transfer a Movese. Yeah,

648
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: so that's Illinois. For me, I've started to think about

649
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: this a little different. It used to be when you're

650
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: trying to find a sleeper team, you go find the

651
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: team that you think is going to be really good

652
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: but underrated, and then you look at their schedule.

653
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 2: To me, it works the opposite.

654
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: Now. If we believe in the transfer portal and nil

655
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: effect on rosters, and we believe that the tops of

656
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: the trees have been shaved off a little bit so

657
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: there's been a little compacting of quality of team top

658
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: to bottom, well, then it makes it all the more

659
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: likely that with these mega conferences, the vast disparity and

660
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: strength of schedule is gonna disproportionately play into this. So

661
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: the way I'm doing it now is I'm looking at

662
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: schedules first, like blind resume, find me the schedules. Then

663
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: I'll check which team plays this schedule. So Illinois has

664
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: the They've got the third easiest schedule by our metrics

665
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten this coming season. They don't play Oregon,

666
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: they don't play Penn State, they don't play Michigan, they

667
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: play five of the bottom seven teams, and FanDuel's odds

668
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: to win the Big Ten, and then you check the

669
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: team and their third and returning production from a ten

670
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: win team. They were five and one in one possession

671
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: games last year and just all that production returns.

672
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 2: They got a third year quarterback.

673
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: So Illinois very clearly is a playoff contending team this

674
00:34:55,480 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 1: upcoming year. But I think there's some others too. I

675
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,720
Speaker 1: wrote three more down that I'll run over right quick.

676
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: I think you could throw Georgia Tech in here, I

677
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: really do. I think if you changed the outcoming that

678
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: Georgia game last year, that nineteen overtime game, I think

679
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: a lot more people would be on them right now.

680
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: They got a bunch of returning production. Haines King at

681
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: quarterback is one of them. That defense, you can clearly

682
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,439
Speaker 1: see it improving. I love their schedule. They do play

683
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: a couple of Tier one opponents, but it's Clumson at

684
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: home early, they get Georgia at home late, and elsewhere

685
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: there's no Tier two team, so they're favored probably the

686
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: rest of the way. If they're not, they're either a

687
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: short underdog or favorite every other game, which doesn't mean

688
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: anything in terms of outcome, but it does mean they're

689
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: in a really good position. I think Texas Tech could

690
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,240
Speaker 1: be this year's Indiana. They're top five in returning production

691
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: and killed it in the portal. There's a ton of

692
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,479
Speaker 1: program energy around there. I think they had it last year.

693
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: It just didn't pan out for them. They got the

694
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 1: whole new facility project opening up. We got him as

695
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: the third easiest Big twelve schedule this upcoming year. Their

696
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: schedule we rated all sixty nine power for schedules.

697
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 2: Call him yourselves.

698
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: They've got sixty three out of sixty nine, very workable.

699
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:21,720
Speaker 1: And then Missouri, Missouri is a real wildcard here. Missouri

700
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: we've got with the second easiest SEC schedule. Bo Pribulah,

701
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: the backup at Penn State transfers there. We really don't

702
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: know what to expect. But if he's good, and Eli

703
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: Drinkwitz normally doesn't miss on this stuff at quarterbacks, so

704
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 1: if he's good, They've got a mad hardy who's a

705
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: running back transfer from ULM that I don't think is

706
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: being talked about.

707
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 2: A whole lot thirteen hundred yard rusher as a freshman.

708
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 1: By the way, that's the name to circle when everyone

709
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: else is talking about bou Prebulah, A mod Hardy also

710
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: is going to be a lesser renowned name at the

711
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: water Cooler, but he'll factor in a lot. Top five

712
00:36:56,239 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: returning production on Defense and you you see the schedule

713
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: in front of you here, it's the second easiest in

714
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: the SEC. So those are some of the teams Illinois,

715
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,959
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech, Texas Tech, Missouri. Those are the ones I'd

716
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 1: circle along with our friends at Quick Trip. I don't know.

717
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: We're not talking FanDuel right now, but if Fandel were

718
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: to put numbers up on amount of Quick Trip stops

719
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: this upcoming weekend with storm chasing on the horizon, six

720
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: and a half maybe seven and a half. We don't

721
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: do even numbers, so seven and a half I think

722
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: is fair. Plus you have to stage like, you have

723
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: to find places to hang out. A Quick Trip would

724
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: be a perfect place for that. They have been fueling

725
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: our show. They've been fueling our spring tour. We had

726
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:39,959
Speaker 1: let's see one two.

727
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 2: Oh. I had some conversations today.

728
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: By the way, I can't tell you whoms to with,

729
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: but has some good conversations. We finalized four more Paate

730
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: State Speaker Series stops over the past two days. We're

731
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: in conversations with several more. Actually, we just have to

732
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: nail down dates, so we're going to do it. We

733
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: got two of them coming up next week, big high

734
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: end demand type stops. I think I've said too much already,

735
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna bark in the microphone.

736
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 2: So there's that.

737
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: So Quick Trip is fueling all of that. They're responsible.

738
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: It's on them and cole Brew on tap raisinless trail mix. Honestly,

739
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: there's raisins in the trail mix. I pick it out,

740
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: but it's a running joke between me and them and

741
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 1: a thera gun. If you need one, Quick Trip has

742
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:31,919
Speaker 1: it all, So visit them because they fuel us. Let's

743
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,720
Speaker 1: move along, good pace. I'm proud of myself. I've probably

744
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: gone more than five minutes on a couple of these.

745
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 2: But I'm proud of myself.

746
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: Colin.

747
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take a little sip.

748
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: Of water, you know what, I'll take a sip of zvia.

749
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: Why water, Cause they're both zero sugar. The water and

750
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 1: the zvia, you know, both zero sugar. And let me confirm,

751
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: one of the ingredients of zvia is water. So in

752
00:38:55,200 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: a way, this is hydration anyway, cream soda hydration, but

753
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 1: hydration Nonetheless.

754
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 2: We appreciate Zeeba for being a long as always.

755
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: What are we doing the dynasty question? I think we

756
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: had a question about dynasties. Yeah, there it is. Connor said,

757
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: with revenue sharing and the college football landscape changing as

758
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: a whole, is this the end of us seeing long

759
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: term dynasties.

760
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 2: In college football? Yeah?

761
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:26,439
Speaker 1: I think it is. Yeah, if by dynasty you mean

762
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 1: what Alabama did, Yeah, no one's doing that. Bama's not

763
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: doing it, Ohio State's No one's doing that. To the

764
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: point where I think we may have to redefine what

765
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: a dynasty is. Do we not? If you're expecting a

766
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: team to go on let's say a seven plus year

767
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: run and they win what three titles minimum? Is that

768
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: what we need for a dynasty. I don't know what

769
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 1: dynasty is. I don't know how people define it. But

770
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: however you define it, I would imagine it's largely influenced

771
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: by what Saban did at Alabama. So forget about that.

772
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: That's not happening anymore. What is the dynasty? I guess

773
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 1: it's my follow up, So I would be of the

774
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 1: opinion if I were to ask the question, no, we're

775
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,839
Speaker 1: not going to see that do we redefine what qualifies

776
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 1: as dynasty in college football? Like if we were playing

777
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty game baseball season and then we

778
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 1: expanded to one hundred and sixty two, I would change

779
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: the parameters of what I thought a great offensive season.

780
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 2: Was in terms of home run RBI.

781
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,720
Speaker 1: So in this sense, if we're changing the fundamental makeup

782
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: of the game, yeah, I would say redefining dynasty to

783
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 1: meaning something a lot more along the lines of what

784
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: I've always used, which is not how many titles did

785
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: you win?

786
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that matters.

787
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: I've always found a lot of admiration for guys that

788
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 1: just have their team in position for.

789
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 2: It every year.

790
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: So I grew up in Atlanta Braves fam so in

791
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: the nineties they win the Division like every year and

792
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,879
Speaker 1: well into the two thousands, but Fame, they only won

793
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: one World Series during that whole run. So the question was,

794
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: is not a dynasty or not? Well?

795
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 2: Absolutely it was.

796
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: In my mind. I'm biased, So the Yankees won far

797
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: more World championships, but no one ever argued the Braids

798
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,399
Speaker 1: were better than the Yankees. I didn't, but I thought

799
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: it was a dynasty only because in a world like

800
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, where everything is built to compact teams. Well,

801
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,280
Speaker 1: maybe not quite as much as the NFL, but still

802
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: it is professional sports. To be first amongst your division

803
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: opponents every year for a decade plus is very impressive.

804
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: To put yourself in the postseason every year, to give

805
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: yourself a swing at it every year. That's impressive to me.

806
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: In college football. Now, if we've got a program led

807
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 1: by a head coach that puts his program in the

808
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 1: playoff every year for a decade, if he gives them

809
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: a realistic shot to take a swing into title, mix

810
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 1: in a couple of conference titles during that run, a

811
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: couple of top five finishes, ton of top ten finishes.

812
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: Maybe that's a dynasty. Now, everyone won't agree on that.

813
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you know how ring culture is. If I

814
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 1: could have guys be runner up ten years in a row,

815
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,720
Speaker 1: and I'd have Jeff on Twitter with sixty eight followers

816
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: asked me, well, what does he won? Well, a ton

817
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: of football games, Jeff, Yeah, but where's the ring? He

818
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: doesn't have one. I guess he hadn't won anything. I

819
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 1: guess he hasn't. Jeff, coming from a winner, I guess

820
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: he hasn't. So yeah, I'm looking at the odds for

821
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: this year.

822
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 2: By the way, Colin, just put it up on the screen.

823
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: Do you realize one two, We've got four teams with

824
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,720
Speaker 1: preseason over under win totals of ten and a half.

825
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 1: None of them are in the SEC. So we've got Oregon,

826
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: Ohio State, Penn State, Notre Dame. There's no eleven and

827
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: a half out there anymore. It's just a sign of

828
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: the times. I guess.

829
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 2: I always used to hear the Olds talk about.

830
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: Sign of the times, and maybe that's what they meant

831
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: all along. They're watching us in Henderson, Nevada, Pine Bluff, Arkansas, Okalla, Florida.

832
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 1: Thank you guys so much, now, Colin, I really will

833
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: take it. Sip of water, there we go. Nothing like

834
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: popping the top on an ice cold room temperature. Actually,

835
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: jug of water. Gallon a day, kids, gallon a day.

836
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: That's all it takes. Okay, this will be a fun one.

837
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: It's a trap question. I know. It is a AJ

838
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: hit me. He said, Hey, would you rather live during

839
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,760
Speaker 1: the prime years of Fleetwood Mac, prime years of college

840
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: football or prime years of storm chasing? So I certainly

841
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't choose the prime years of Fleetwood Mac. That's a

842
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 1: trick question. I'm a diehard Fleetwood Mac fan. The caveat

843
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 1: there is I was born after you know, Fleetwood Mac

844
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: sort of did the majority of their best work, which

845
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,280
Speaker 1: was in the seventies. I wasn't around in the seventies

846
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: and so I but yet I love Fleetwood Mac. How

847
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: did that happen? Well, you don't disappear music once you've recorded,

848
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: it's around forever. And so what I found as a

849
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: youth is well, I can just go see Fleetwood Mac

850
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: in the two thousands when they're all drug free and

851
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 1: musically at their best, and it sounds great, and I've

852
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: still got their entire catalog. I can go listen to

853
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: so Dreams is there, and Gypsy is there, and gold

854
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,800
Speaker 1: Dust Woman is their family man, an extremely underrated Fleetwood

855
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 1: Mac song, and Rhiannon's there. The chain is there. So

856
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 1: it's all there. It does, it's not like it disappears.

857
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 1: So I didn't have to live in the seventies to

858
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: enjoy Fleetwood Mac. The peak of storm chasing is today.

859
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,359
Speaker 1: Do you know I have more equipment in my hand

860
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: right now, big Immunity. I got more equipment in my

861
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: hand right now than the dows the Doppler on wheels

862
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 1: used to have like fifteen years ago. It's the same

863
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:48,240
Speaker 1: thing they say about a cell phone versus the entire

864
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: technological package it took to send guys to the Moon

865
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 1: in the sixties.

866
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:53,280
Speaker 2: Please don't start.

867
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: I know, I know a solid twenty thirty percent of

868
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: you want to debate me on the moon landing point taken,

869
00:44:59,400 --> 00:44:59,879
Speaker 1: point wood?

870
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 2: What stands though?

871
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: The technology we have on things like radar scope or

872
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: radar omega? Do you realize March third, twenty nineteen, I'm

873
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: in Beauregard, Alabama. It's the closest I've come to dying

874
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 1: chasing tornadoes. There was what ended up being rated in

875
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 1: e F four tornado. It comes through Lee County, Beauregard,

876
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: It crosses the Chattahoochee, goes through Columbus, actually goes through

877
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: my home county of Harris County, ends up in Tarlbarton

878
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: Long Track Wedge tornado. We were there were twenty three

879
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 1: fatalities over there. We were in eighth of a mile

880
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: radius wise from all of them, and I was able

881
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:39,280
Speaker 1: to perfectly know where we were because of this, because

882
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: of the technology in my hand, so literally life saving technology.

883
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 1: And it also enables you to do some pretty incredible

884
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: things in terms of calculated risk taking, thrill seeking, whatever

885
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: you want to call it, information gathering.

886
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 2: So I mean, the weather's the weather.

887
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 1: Every year, it's gonna throw a mixed bag at you

888
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,800
Speaker 1: every year, like this saturd We'll probably be really nasty.

889
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: In the South. We'll be able to go chase it

890
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: because of rental car companies and technology. So you're living

891
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: in the peak era of storm chasing. College football is tricky, though,

892
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 1: so you may think, Okay, the answer is college football. Now.

893
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: The first part of the question is how do we

894
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: define the golden era? What is the peak of college football?

895
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 1: Some people think it's right now. Your grandfather would probably

896
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,320
Speaker 1: throw newt Rotney in your face. I would throw the

897
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: BCS era at you, not because of the postseason structure,

898
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: but because of what the regular season was like. So

899
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 1: here may be the problem with that. If I were

900
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: to go back to two thousand and seven, one of

901
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: the most memorable seasons in the history of college football,

902
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: I'd certainly love to relive that. I lived it once.

903
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: It was great, I'd love to relive it again. But

904
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: do I have to relive it in the current technological age,

905
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: or do I relive it in that technological age, Because

906
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 1: here is what I would long to do. I would

907
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: long to be my current age back in two thousand

908
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 1: and seven and cover that era of the sport. But

909
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 1: there is no YouTube, there is no podcasting. Therefore there's

910
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 1: probably not an entry point. There's probably not an on

911
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: ramp for someone.

912
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 2: Like me to do it.

913
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,760
Speaker 1: Also, if I'm the age I was, then I wouldn't

914
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 1: even be really old enough to do that kind of job.

915
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: So I would love to listen to Fleetwood Mac as

916
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: I drive to a college football game in seven a

917
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,800
Speaker 1: day after I've chased a tornado with all the modern

918
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 1: technological advancements at my disposal.

919
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 2: And that's not what the question said.

920
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 1: So I assume I didn't answer it right, but that's

921
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: my answer. Next up, we have an allegation question Noel's

922
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: pride in Tallahassee. I have no clue what he'll want

923
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 1: to talk about. Oh, he said, why don't I talk

924
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:54,280
Speaker 1: about FSU one, two three. I'm counting four FSU segments

925
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: we've had on the show in the past two months,

926
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 1: So we do.

927
00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:58,800
Speaker 2: Talk about FSU.

928
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 1: Let's just say we didn't though, Let's say the accusation

929
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: here is right.

930
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:05,240
Speaker 2: We hadn't been talking FSU.

931
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 1: Well, it would probably be because I don't know what

932
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 1: to say about FSU, because I don't know what FSU is.

933
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: Do you knows pride? Do you a lot of You

934
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 1: have your own YouTube channels? If you have one, direct

935
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:19,839
Speaker 1: me to yours. I'd love to see what you're saying

936
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,240
Speaker 1: about Florida State right now? Do you have any idea

937
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 1: what you guys are gonna be? You got Malson as

938
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator, a point I'm convinced half of the

939
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: college football public is unaware of. By the way, I

940
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: mentioned that to a friend the other day who claims

941
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: to be in the know. He said, what do you

942
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,720
Speaker 1: mean he thought Malson was still at Central Florida. Guys,

943
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: A lot has happened if you checked out in January,

944
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 1: Scott Frost is the head coach at UCF what ten

945
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: years ago? No, now he's the head coach there again

946
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: because Malson left and he is the offensive coordinator at

947
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:57,359
Speaker 1: Florida State. Get those flash cards ready before you start

948
00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: diving back into the conversation. I don't know what to expect.

949
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,760
Speaker 1: That their middle of the road in terms of returning production.

950
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 1: Then again, last year's team was terrible, so do you

951
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: want those guys to return? They made more portal moves.

952
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 1: They went and got Nebraska's defensive coordinator, a move I love.

953
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:13,359
Speaker 2: What was twenty twenty four?

954
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: Was it an abarition? Was it a trend? We witnessed?

955
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 2: History?

956
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 1: Point being Normally, if I'm gonna talk about a team

957
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: in the spring, I'm gonna go off of what happened

958
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,280
Speaker 1: last year, go off of the talent they acquired, the staff,

959
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,839
Speaker 1: they have, the track record of the head coach, historical

960
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,720
Speaker 1: data points. I want to be able to cross reference

961
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 1: what happened here with something else that happened for some

962
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: other team back in year fill in the blank. There

963
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,879
Speaker 1: is no historical comparable data point here. No one else

964
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 1: has ever seen what just happened to Florida State, probably

965
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: won't ever see it again. Will you ever see a

966
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 1: team go undefeated winning the conference to boom? What two wins?

967
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,720
Speaker 1: I think it was last year? How does that happen?

968
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 1: And then if you're trying to project what's next, how

969
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: do you do it? Do you just play it safe

970
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 1: and split the difference and say, I guess they'll go

971
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: seven and five maybe I don't know. I guess the

972
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 1: computers would say that they could be right back to

973
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,720
Speaker 1: ten wins again this year. They could be four wins

974
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 1: again this year. I don't have a clue. So that's

975
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 1: what I haven't spoken a ton about Florida State. I

976
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 1: don't have a clue. Now we will be speaking a

977
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:26,839
Speaker 1: lot about them. But could you just could you give

978
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: me enough grace to.

979
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 2: See what happens in spring?

980
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: Let's just see what happens in spring practice at whoms

981
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: amongst us knows. Maybe we'll find our way down to

982
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: Tallahassee by the end of spring. Maybe who Maybe we'll

983
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,320
Speaker 1: have to go investigate for ourselves.

984
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 2: You know, that's a novel concept.

985
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 1: If you want to know what's happening, go yourself and

986
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 1: find out what's happening. It's a good internal challenge there.

987
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 1: Next up, good question. If it's the one that I

988
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: think it is, I had my papers all scrambled.

989
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a good one. Nate from wall Nut Hills, Ohio.

990
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: Is there any coach from the past that you could

991
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: interview from spring of any year?

992
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 2: Who's it going to be? So we do the speaker series.

993
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: We're doing it right now at where we just go

994
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:13,760
Speaker 1: and we sit down with head coaches during the spring,

995
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 1: and it's a great format. Love to do it. So

996
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 1: if we could just go do any coach in any

997
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,800
Speaker 1: spring in the past, Well, you give me Steve Spurrier

998
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 1: at Florida. I want to go down there to Gainesville

999
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,879
Speaker 1: in the mid nineties in the middle of spring because Steve,

1000
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: Steve Spurrier was a little bit ahead of his time

1001
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 1: and that he knew the era to come. Media wise,

1002
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 1: Steve Spurrier, if you could hit the rewind clock on

1003
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: him thirty years but drop him into twenty twenty four,

1004
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,440
Speaker 1: there is no coach from the past that would be

1005
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: more tailor made to thrive in today's college football environment

1006
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: than Steve Spurrier. So I loved hop from twenty twenty

1007
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 1: five back to nineteen ninety five. I'd love to go

1008
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: down there. I remember one time he was at Florida.

1009
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:05,319
Speaker 1: I was growing up as a kid in Columbus. The

1010
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: movie Jeepers, Creepers. Do you remember that movie? Not a

1011
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: bad movie. Actually, I don't have to get Van Lathan

1012
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,320
Speaker 1: to confirm on the rewatchables, but not a bad movie

1013
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,719
Speaker 1: for what it was. Anyway, I went to see it

1014
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,760
Speaker 1: at Hollywood Connection in Columbus.

1015
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,959
Speaker 2: Georgia Rest in Peace even though I think it's still

1016
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 2: there but not what it once was.

1017
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 1: And Florida was playing Auburn the next day, so I

1018
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 1: guess they stayed in Columbus that night, and the Florida

1019
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 1: team went and saw that movie for the team movie,

1020
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 1: and I was in there, and let me tell you

1021
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: how foolish and naive I was as a child.

1022
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 2: I'm looking around for Steve Spurrier. Is Steve Spurrier in

1023
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:42,919
Speaker 2: the theater?

1024
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 1: Is Steve Spurri you're watching Jeepers Creepers will be I

1025
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 1: wonder if Steve Spurrier just jumped when that dude jumped.

1026
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 2: Down the pipe like that.

1027
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to spoil it for anyone, So yeah,

1028
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: gimme Spurrier. If I could go back to Alabama under

1029
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: Bear Bryant, if I could get Bryant on the show,

1030
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 1: I wouldn't talk because I think he and a guy

1031
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: I'm about to mention in a second have the best

1032
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 1: voices in the history of college football coaches, speaking very gravelly,

1033
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:13,919
Speaker 1: very authoritative, less than a god but more than a man,

1034
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:18,799
Speaker 1: kind of vocally unbelievable. Berear Bryant ended up doing that

1035
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 1: Bell South commercial where he asked, have you called your

1036
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:21,800
Speaker 1: mom today?

1037
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 2: He should have been doing commercial's entire life.

1038
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:27,879
Speaker 1: He did that Golden Flake Coaches show, footage of which

1039
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: is still available on very remote corners of the Internet.

1040
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: But the voice alone, I would just ask him, hey,

1041
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 1: could you say this?

1042
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 2: Could you say that?

1043
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 1: And see how far he would go, see how much

1044
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 1: he would play along. Also, you know these guys in

1045
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 1: the South. I don't know if they did this in

1046
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 1: the Big ten or elsewhere, but I remember listening to

1047
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,439
Speaker 1: the sports writers when I was growing up talk about

1048
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 1: the previous era. See, they didn't always do media days.

1049
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 1: They didn't always do Big Ten media days, SEC media days.

1050
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: That's a fairly new concept. I don't know how long

1051
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:05,720
Speaker 1: they've done that, but it's been well within my lifetime

1052
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: when they started doing that. So what did they do

1053
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 1: before that? What's crazy? So sports writers had relationships with

1054
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: the coaches and they would go sit down with them,

1055
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: and they would have relationships with them, and they would

1056
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 1: get information from them, and that's how they would source

1057
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:24,240
Speaker 1: their reporting.

1058
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:25,239
Speaker 2: It's crazy, right.

1059
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: So there was something called the Skyriders and you want

1060
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 1: to see me shut up? And defer to someone have

1061
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: like one of these old sports writers come on and

1062
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 1: talk about the Skyriders' days.

1063
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 2: So here's how it worked.

1064
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 1: A group of them would get together, like the major

1065
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 1: beat writers and the major regional and national writers, and

1066
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 1: they would all meet up and they would fly on

1067
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: a plane to like Auburn, and they go sit down

1068
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 1: with whoever was there at the Pat Dye or whoever

1069
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 1: shug Jordan in the past, and then they would meet

1070
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: with him all off the record, and they would all

1071
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 1: palle around with them. They'd go to their houses the

1072
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 1: hang out with them. Half of them would stumble out

1073
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: the next morning with their belt tied around their head.

1074
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: Then they would go back to the airport. Then they

1075
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 1: would fly up and talk to Duley at Georgia. Then

1076
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:19,400
Speaker 1: they go talk to Bryant, and then they'd go all around.

1077
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 1: They'd just travel on a plane all around the conference

1078
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 1: all together, and they'd go one by one and meet

1079
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: with coaches. Honestly, it's where I got the idea to

1080
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: do what we do for the spring tour. It's not

1081
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 1: that because we're doing it by ourselves, but the concept

1082
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 1: of getting out in the spring and going and sitting

1083
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: down with people in their building on their time.

1084
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:43,880
Speaker 2: It's a fun, fun concept. But the way they did

1085
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:44,399
Speaker 2: it back then.

1086
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:47,319
Speaker 1: See this is back when coaches weren't paranoid to share

1087
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 1: information and so anything and everything, and a lot of

1088
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: it's off the record, and so it would be disseminated

1089
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 1: and itcdotally through the media. But you know, outside of

1090
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: like Bryant Furman Bisher at the Atlanta whatever the journal

1091
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:05,799
Speaker 1: constitution was called in, there were pretty good work in

1092
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 1: relationships between coaches and media. Bobby Bowden at Florida State

1093
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: would have been a quintessential must have guessed if I

1094
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:16,399
Speaker 1: could have gone back and interviewed him pre Canel. Of course,

1095
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 1: if I could go back interview him at Florida State,

1096
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: he built Florida State. The concept is lost on today's generation,

1097
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 1: the concept of building a college football program.

1098
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,320
Speaker 2: Who does it? Every program that matters.

1099
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 1: If you're nineteen years old at the University of Minnesota

1100
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:32,800
Speaker 1: right now and you're listening to the show or watching

1101
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:38,319
Speaker 1: the show, it's likely there will be no program that

1102
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 1: is in It's like invisible now that will ever suddenly

1103
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 1: appear during your lifetime as a college football fan. All

1104
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 1: the ones that matter are already here. It's like living

1105
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: in Manhattan. There is no new tower that goes up

1106
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:55,359
Speaker 1: unless you blow one up and then build on that

1107
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 1: very location. There's no new building that goes up. There's

1108
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 1: nowhere to build. In college football, there's no program that

1109
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 1: could ever elevate to the level of the big boys

1110
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:08,439
Speaker 1: that doesn't already exist as a major football power. Well,

1111
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 1: when Bowden got to Florida State, that wasn't the case.

1112
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 1: When Bowden got to Florida State, that place, it wasn't

1113
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 1: even known for football, explaining to someone that, hey, in

1114
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: the future, Florida State's going to be a national championship

1115
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: contender every year, like in what sport football club football,

1116
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 1: inner Murals, what are you talking about? And Bobby Bowden

1117
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 1: went down there and he built Florida State. And the stories,

1118
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 1: oh the stories. And Bowden in a different way than Bryant,

1119
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 1: But Bowden had this likability and relatability about his voice

1120
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 1: and the way he talked that I would love. And

1121
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 1: the next guy had the same thing. Frank Broyle's in

1122
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 1: Arkansas had the same thing. Frank Broyle's is an unbelievable

1123
00:57:57,160 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 1: guy to just learn about. Frank Broyle's My first introduction

1124
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: to Frank Broyles would have been watching old VHS tapes

1125
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 1: of old college football games back from before I was born.

1126
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 1: Because Frank Broyles, after he was the head coach at

1127
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 1: Arkansas for a long time and then the athletic director

1128
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 1: at Arkansas for a long time, he was the color

1129
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 1: commentator for Keith Jackson for a long time. And Keith

1130
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: Jackson and Frank Broyles on a Saturday play by play

1131
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 1: is as good as it's ever been done in college football.

1132
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: They sounded like your uncles. They sounded like your grandfather

1133
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 1: and your uncle, both sitting with you, just Indian style

1134
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 1: on the floor out on the patio. But they happened

1135
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 1: to be calling the Iron Bowl from Legion Field or

1136
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 1: usc UCLA from the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.

1137
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 2: Amazing.

1138
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 1: But Frank Broyles, for those of you who were unfamiliar

1139
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 1: with how legit this dude was, he won a national

1140
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: title at Arkansas, pretty good, multiple Southwest Conference titles. The

1141
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 1: reason I have learned a lot about Frank Boyles recently

1142
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 1: is because I'm avdor on the Broyles Award and go

1143
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 1: to the awards ceremony this past February.

1144
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, so last month, I don't really care.

1145
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 1: If you do a lot of research on Frank Broyle's

1146
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 1: the football coach or the athletic director or the commentator.

1147
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 1: Check out what he's done for Alzheimer's research and read

1148
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 1: his story married to a woman for a long time,

1149
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 1: Barbara and their entire families involved in that foundation now,

1150
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 1: but just go read up on it, and then to

1151
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 1: imagine having him able to be on the show if

1152
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: he were still here. Think he passed away in twenty seventeen,

1153
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 1: but if we could have him on the show, yeah,

1154
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 1: that'd be awesome. And if I can't get Broils from Arkansas,

1155
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: I'll settle for a Bobby Petrino if I get to

1156
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 1: pick the time, especially but Joe Paterno, I go back

1157
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 1: a number of guys, they're like fifty that I'd love

1158
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 1: to have on the show. Time is a factor right now,

1159
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 1: though FanDuel no such odds on those kinds of things,

1160
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 1: but they have odds on everything else.

1161
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 2: I was looking out our window here in downtown.

1162
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Nashville a little earlier, and the big banner has gone

1163
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:05,959
Speaker 1: up over at Bridgestone, the big SEC banner. Some people

1164
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:08,280
Speaker 1: have said there's an SEC banner on our building, but

1165
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 1: that's not true, but there is an SEC banner over

1166
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 1: on Bridgetone Arena. Why cause the conference basketball tournament is

1167
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 1: coming up this weekend. I have it on good authority

1168
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 1: that FanDuel will allow you to wager on that, every

1169
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 1: one of them. And if you're not interested in that,

1170
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: every other conference tournament is happening as well. Not to mention,

1171
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 1: we've got huge futures markets available, conference championship odds, games

1172
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 1: of the year, it's all already over at FanDuel. So

1173
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 1: if you don't even care about basketball, you just want

1174
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 1: to go straight to college football, that's fine. They understand

1175

1197
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 1: On a Tuesday, no Less, someone asked something that I

1198
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 1: normally only talk about with our people here, Xander from Pittsburgh.

1199
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 1: He said, do you think being live has brought you

1200
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 1: more opportunities and success than if you were just a podcast? Yeah?

1201
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,440
Speaker 1: But that's only because we're at our best live. The

1202
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 1: concept of being lives terrifying for most people. You know,

1203
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:27,920
Speaker 1: like we're live as live can be nine to nine

1204
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 1: times out of one hundred when we do this show,

1205
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 1: including right now it's eight oh one pm Central Standard

1206
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: Time on Tuesday, March eleventh, we're live. If I lose

1207
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 1: my voice, we're live. Director Colin knows because he has protocols.

1208
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 1: I have a hand signal that I would give him

1209
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:44,439
Speaker 1: if things were to go awry to where he knows

1210
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:46,400
Speaker 1: what to do and how to get us out of it. Well,

1211
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 1: if you're recording, you just cut it out. But here's

1212
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 1: the problem that I have found. And not everyone's like this,

1213
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 1: but I have found that we don't. I hate doing

1214
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 1: stuff it's not live. I hate pre recording stuff because

1215
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 1: it's like heightrope walk. And if you were to envision

1216
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 1: two different tightrope walks, one of them's one hundred feet

1217
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 1: off the ground, one of them is five feet off

1218
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 1: the ground.

1219
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:11,440
Speaker 2: Which one would you rather do?

1220
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 1: Well, everyone would say five feet because no one dies

1221
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 1: after falling five feet. Many people would die after falling

1222
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 1: one hundred feet. In fact, introduce me to the guy

1223
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 1: who lives falling one hundred feet. But think about the

1224
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 1: focus you have when you're one hundred feet above the

1225
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 1: ground versus five feet above the ground. Think about how

1226
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 1: you're able to block everything else out when you're one

1227
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 1: hundred feet above the ground instead of five feet above

1228
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 1: the ground.

1229
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 2: That's doing this show live. I don't know what it is.

1230
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 1: You could pretend it's live all you want to, but

1231
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 1: if you know it's not, you know it's not. Jesse

1232
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 1: and Colin will tell you. Sometimes we do have to

1233
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 1: record a show couple three times a year, just because

1234
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 1: the circumstances dictate that we have to. They're not our

1235
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 1: best shows. We try, but they're not our best shows.

1236
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 1: The live show, the live aspect of understanding the kind

1237
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 1: of energy that a companies a live show. They get

1238
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:10,440
Speaker 1: one shot at it in there punching these elements. I

1239
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 1: get one shot to say stuff. Sometimes that works to

1240
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 1: our detriment. I don't know if it's given us more opportunity.

1241
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 1: Like you asked Xander in the question, I just know

1242
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 1: there's no other way I like to do shows than live. Now.

1243
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 1: Back in the day, if you were to present option A,

1244
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:26,880
Speaker 1: option B, I would have said, I want to pre

1245
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 1: record one hundred times out of one hundred because if

1246
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 1: I screw up, I want another chance. I didn't know

1247
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 1: what I couldn't have known at that point, So I've

1248
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 1: learned that about myself, and I've learned that I prefer live.

1249
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 1: I think that's from doing talk radio call in radio

1250
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 1: down in the South and understanding and developing a passion

1251
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 1: and a love for live radio that never left. So

1252
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 1: even when we came into this world, I don't know

1253
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 1: what you call this world. It's much more than just

1254
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:59,200
Speaker 1: the podcasting world. But even if this was the podcasting

1255
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 1: world exclusively, I'd want to do it live. When I

1256
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 1: do record podcast only products, I don't edit them. I

1257
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 1: just let it go straight. If we screw up, we

1258
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:12,040
Speaker 1: screw up, I'll make fun of it on Aaron.

1259
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 2: We'll continue.

1260
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 1: And that's the way we'll keep the show as long

1261
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 1: as you let us. I do love Colin that I

1262
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 1: can swivel this microphone arm this freely. A lot of

1263
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 1: nervous energy being expended on this microphone arm right now, creepily,

1264
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 1: so so I'm gonna stop. I appreciate you guys, so

1265
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 1: we will look. If you're so inclined and you want
