Speaker 1: numbers from rite Aid people. This right here is a

4
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: list of the ranked teams that fell yesterday. That's what

5
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: we mean when we say volcanic Saturday could be around

6
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:39,200

Speaker 1: A metric ton. Listen to that stack of papers, A

9
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: metric ton to talk about. Billion Apier is out at Florida.

10
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: That's a big announcement. The James Franklin News a week

11
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: ago was a big announcement. We've got more firings coming.

12
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: It brings me no joy to tell you that, because

13
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff I would for not to happen.

14
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: But it's going to happen. Maybe not during the show tonight,

15
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: but it's gonna happen. So we're gonna talk about all

16
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: of it. Freeze at Auburn, I think it's gonna happen.

17
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,559
Speaker 1: Norvel at Florida State, I'm pretty sure it's gonna happen.

18
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it. It's a full reaction show. Week

19
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: eight is in the books. A lot of things changed.

20
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: More things changed, the more things stay the same in

21
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: a compacted season, but a lot of things changed. Yesterday.

22
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: I'll talk about it. The ap pole is out. We've

23
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: got nothing less, nothing short, rather of a historic tour

24
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: announcement to make on the show tonight. All of that

25
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: plus wouldn't you know it, they're watching us in Davenport, Iowa, Washington,

26
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,039

27
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: last week, it is right now, October nineteenth. The rest

28
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: of the season is gonna be insane. Not only do

29
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: we have conference championship in playoff races entering the stretch run,

30
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a coaching carousel, just domino effect like

31
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: we've rarely seen. I don't think we've ever seen it

32
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: this early in the season. Subscribe to the channel, Subscribe

40
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: of the garbage out there from some people who should

41
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: know better reporting on this sport, then why not push

42
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: us to the forefront. We appreciate it. Guys. We're pacing

43
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: for like five hundred thousand subs before Thanksgiving, so I

44
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Okay, here we go. Let's dive in. Billy Napier,

45
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: BILLI Napier is out at Florida. He was fired early

46
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: this afternoon, twenty two and twenty three. That's what the

47
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: final record is there for. Billy Napier expected this talk

48
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: to you last week. Essentially, if you read between the lines,

49
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: I told you it didn't matter if he beat Mississippi State.

50
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: This was pretty known, This was not hidden. A lot

51
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: of people reported this during the week, So not a surprise.

52
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: Very disappointed, and I'm not saying I'm disappointed that Florida

53
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: made the decision. Florida did exactly what they had to

54
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: do here. By my estimation, they did what they had

55
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: to do. Napier never let go of play calling there

56
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: and it cost him his job. And we went down

57
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: there in the spring. If You'll remember we went down

58
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: there in the spring, and I follow Florida Football very closely,

59
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: so I knew what the number one gripe had been

60
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: from folks around the program. And Billy was always really

61
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: good to us. He gave us a lot of access

62
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: down there, and I felt comfortable enough just kind of saying, hey,

63
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: you giving up play calling? No? Why not? Why won't

64
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: you give up play calling? And to his credit, he

65
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,839
Speaker 1: was honest. He said, I believe me calling plays gives

66
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: us the best chance to win. Now, that did not

67
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: end up being the case. You know, it's classic. Two

68
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: things were true. Billy said what he believed, and what

69
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: Billy believed about the best interest of Florida football was

70
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: wrong and it cost him his job. That's the way

71
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: it works. It's an adult world. It's a results oriented world,

72
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: and you may decisions and those decisions do not yield results,

73
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: and they fire you. And he's going to make a

74
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: lot of money as part of the buyout. I don't

75
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: really ever care about that. It's a huge deal. It's

76
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: baked in to soften the blow here. But I'm a

77
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: big human element guy. I'll talk about that in a second,

78
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: but there's not really much to say. For all the

79
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: talk around Napier for several years down there, now there

80
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: were people who thought it would eventually work. I was

81
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: one of them. I think I kind of hoped it

82
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: would work. There was never that big stretch of games.

83
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: There may have been individual one offs, but there was

84
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: never that stretch of games where you said, oh, he's

85
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: planted his flag. Here it goes. And what I always

86
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: have to remind everyone and myself is this is not

87
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: one of those situations where a lot's being asked of

88
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,799
Speaker 1: a guy who hasn't been given what it takes to succeed.

89
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: To Florida's immense credit, they in the past fifteen years

90
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: post urban Meyer had fallen way behind. I'm not sure

91
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: you can fully appreciate this unless you seen behind the

92
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: scenes down there. They had fallen way behind the power

93
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: players in college football and in the SEC. And to

94
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: their credit, they put their foot on the gas. From

95
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: an infrastructure standpoint, from an nil standpoint, more recently, from

96
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: a strength and conditioning, sports nutrition facilities, you name it.

97
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,239
Speaker 1: They put their foot down and they got the job done.

98
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: And for that, the Florida job is a great job. Now,

99
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: Florida is a destination program for anybody to work at.

100
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: And I'm mentioning that not to sell Florida. They'll sell

101
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: it themselves, but to remind everyone. That's why there's not

102
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: much to say about him firing Billy Napier. He had

103
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: everything he asked for a lot, he was given a lot.

104
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: He had a gigantic staff down there, and a really

105
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: good one, to the point where I wonder when the

106
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: new guy comes in there, if there'll be some retention.

107
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: I've said that for months now. There's some really, really

108
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: good top of the industry people in that building that

109
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: Billy hired. Did a lot of good things down there.

110
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: I don't ever remove the human element of this, which

111
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: a lot of people do. If you're a fan of

112
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: the if you're a fan of the team, I get it,

113
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: because you just want to win. So if if you

114
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: have a terrible person winning football games for you, that's okay.

115
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: And if you have a great person who's losing football

116
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: games for you, you don't really care that he's a

117
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: great person because you're not hiring a boy Scout leader.

118
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: You want someone to win games. I look at it

119
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: a little different, but that's because I'm not sitting there

120
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: as a Florida fan. I'm just someone who knows Billy

121
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: Napier loves the dude, just loves him as a person.

122
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,239
Speaker 1: Hoped it would work out for him as a coach.

123
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: It didn't. I have trouble removing the human element on

124
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: things like this, So I'm certainly not sitting here telling

125
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: you he got screwed. Like I made the case. I

126
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: thought Penn State moved on James Franklin way too quickly.

127
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,239
Speaker 1: I don't think Florida moved on billiy Napier way too quickly.

128
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: I thought this had to happen. I will say this,

129
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: he left the thing a whole lot better than he

130
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: found it. The Florida program, the Florida job, it's a

131
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: great destination place. Okay, So there's that. There's the big

132
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: buyout that makes ninety nine percent of people look and say, hey,

133
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: you pay me that kind of money. I'd love to

134
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: be fired. My philosophy on that has always been I

135
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: don't really think you understand no matter what the amount

136
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: of money is. I don't care if it's thirty billion dollars,

137
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: no matter the amount of money. When you're a type,

138
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: a alpha competitive type, and someone tells you you have

139
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: failed you're not good enough, go away. They're dumping a

140
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: ton of money in your lap. Wonderful, Okay. It guts

141
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: you as a competitor, It guts you. And for the

142
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: people who mockingly say, hey, you gut me all you

143
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: want for that amount of money, You'll never be in

144
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: position to make that kind of money because you have

145
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: that attitude. Is the way I've always looked at that.

146
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: I used to be like that, like I know what

147
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: I'm talking about, because I used to say that about people. Well,

148
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: you got a lot of money, so who cares? Who

149
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: cares about the human Hey man, I'm down here working

150
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: in a fabric warehouse. I'd love to be a fired

151
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: football coach. Monetarily, Yeah, I'd love to have the bank

152
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: account those guys have. But it comes at the cost,

153
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: and only a real, real like type, a competitive type,

154
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: understands this. It comes at the cost of being told

155
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: you failed, you're not good enough, and there is no

156
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: amount of money that fills that hole that Why do

157
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: you think these dudes jump right back into coaching. Is

158
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: it because they burn through all their money. These dudes

159
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: live very, very very isolated lives. They can't possibly burn

160
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: through all that money. It's because being told you're not

161
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: good enough, being told you're a loser, because that's what

162
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: they tell you when they're firing you, in not so

163
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: many words, leaves a hole in you. So the reason

164
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: I never fancy myself a journalist is because I openly

165
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: root for the ones I know to succeed. I'll use

166
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: this platform sometimes to do it. If that turns people

167
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: off it, I don't think it really turns many people off,

168
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: but it does make people say that I duck criticizing

169
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: them sometimes. No, I up trashing them. I don't duck

170
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: criticizing them. I guarantee you everything every show we've ever

171
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: done is public here, and we don't delete any of it.

172
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: You go back and look at what we've said about Billy,

173
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: there's a healthy amount of criticism there. What we're not

174
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: going to do is spray paint Napier sucks on the

175
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: brick facade of the set here. That's not what we're doing.

176
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: We try and be more constructive with that. So there's

177
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: the human element, and then there's the future element. Who

178
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: is Florida going to hire? Probably Lane Kiffin, and then

179
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: if he says no, then the search can continue. But

180
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: I think their search begins and ends with Lane Kiffin.

181
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: Now I said that earlier today. Again, I don't think

182
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: that's breaking news. I think that's being widely speculated, if

183
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: not outright reported. And I had some people come at

184
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: me and say, why would Lane leave old Miss? I

185
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: don't know that he will, they continued. Who says Florida

186
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: does a better job than old Miss? Well, I would

187
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: say it's a better job than ol Miss, but I

188
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't say it's a slam dunk. And what else I've learned,

189
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: just kind of getting closer to coaching searches and knowing

190
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: certain guys, is which job is better is very conditional

191
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: to which guy you're talking to. You know, there's, for example,

192
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: a type of person who would only coach in the

193
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: Big Ten. So to them, the Wisconsin job would be

194
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: more desirable than the Florida job. Now to you and I,

195
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: just generic onlookers, we think that's insane. But that's because

196
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: our priority may be different than that person. So Lane

197
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: kiffen to reinsert him into the conversation for a second.

198
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: Does Lane look at Florida the same way a normal

199
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: person looks at Florida juxtaposed to Ole Miss? A normal

200
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: person will say the Florida job is better than the

201
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: Old Miss job? Does Lane Kiffin think that he happens

202
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 1: to have the Old Miss job right now? And he's

203
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: doing very good at Ole Miss and has been very,

204
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: very very vocal lately about feeling woven into the fabric

205
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: of Oxford, Mississippi. I take him serious until proven otherwise.

206
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: So I said last year that if that job came open,

207
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: I thought Lane would crawl over broken glass to get it.

208
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: I did feel that last year. I don't feel that

209
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: as strongly this year, although I would still make him

210
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: the favorite to be offered and accept the Florida job.

211
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: But by no means do I think that's a slam dump.

212
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: By no means do I think that. And I've asked around.

213
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: I haven't asked Lane because I don't ask guys about

214
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: job related things during the season, but I've asked around

215
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: just to kind of gauge the temperature. I've asked a

216
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: lot of agents about this. I've asked them, do you think,

217
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 1: in his heart of hearts he one has an answer

218
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: to that question right now? Some of them have said yes,

219
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: others have said no. So it's very much a wait

220
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: and see. But yeah, I think that's a Lane Kiffin job.

221
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: Don't overthink the room on that, and then if he

222
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: says no, then you adjust. But the Florida job, I'm

223
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: just telling you, if you've got any doubts, is very,

224
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: very coveted, and there are a lot of guys who

225
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: are probably thought to be pretty secure at their current

226
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: location that if offered the Florida job, would really have

227
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: to think about taking the Florida job. Not me, of course,

228
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: because we're good at Payton State. But if we did

229
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: take that job, it'd be a short drive down to Gainesville. No,

230
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: that's a lie to take like ten hours to drive

231
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: down there from Nashville. We could do it fueled by

232
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: quick trip. We could do it. We could make it

233
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: down there. We made two stops yesterday, two stops, as

234
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: it turns out, one of them was on the record.

235
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: One of them was a little off the record covert trip.

236
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: I'll talk about it later, but we went to Vanderbilt

237
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: on the record yesterday and the Vanderbilt game was amazing.

238
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: And I say the Vanderbilt game because they controlled the

239
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: whole thing. And we went right down the road here

240
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: in Nashville, Tennessee College Football City, USA as of basically

241
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: the last two years, and we watched it. LSU was

242
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: in town. We watched Vandy, very very pumped crowd over there.

243
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: Amazing transformation in that stadium. By the way, for those

244
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: of you who have gone to a Vandy game like

245
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: eight years ago, you need to go. You need to

246
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: revisit Commodore Stadium over there. You need to revisit Vanderbilt Stadium.

247
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: Amazing looking very futuristic too, at least in the end zones.

248
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: So quick trip fueled us and we went there yesterday.

249
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 1: I promised a historic tour announcement to start the show,

250
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: and the historic tour announcement is, to my knowledge, I

251
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 1: don't think we've ever gone to the same location back

252
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: to back weeks, but trends are made to be broken.

253
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: We are going back to Vanderbilt this week, Missouri in

254
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: Town against Vanderbilt Jesse. Is that a top fifteen matchup?

255
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: I know Vanderbilts in the top ten this week? Has

256
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: drink upheld his end of the bargain. Is he in

257
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: the top fifteen? Yes he is. It's a top fifteen matchup.

258
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: Game days in Town. It's the game of the week.

259
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: But here's why I'm really doing this. Here's why I'm

260
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: being so demonstrative, rather because I think we'll get some

261
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 1: criticism for this. And what I'm really trying to do

262
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: for Barton Simmons more so than for myself, is I'm

263
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: trying to bait someone into labeling me a Vandy Homer,

264
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 1: the allegations of Vanderbilt homrism. If I could get that

265
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: floated my way, I would enjoy it because I will

266
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: screenshot it to death and I will send it over

267
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: to that building and I will just say, see, I

268
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: told you no one had your back more than me.

269
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: It was a great day yesterday. They made us want

270
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: to come back, let me put it that way, and

271
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: so we're going to be back there. And I've already

272
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: informed certain very very high profile people at Missouri, some

273
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: of whom are even pictured on this graphic. They are

274
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: winless with varying degrees of our tour in town. So

275
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: something's got to give. Saturday, something's got to give. We'll

276
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: see Missouri in town. All right, let's continue. Alabama beat

277
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: Tennessee in the third Saturday in October last night, thirty

278
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: seven to twenty. Let me set the table here. I

279
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: would call this a three chali game. Pretty entertaining. How

280
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: do I know we were there? How is that I

281
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: thought the Fall Don't Lie Tour was at Vanderbilt yesterday?

282
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: It was. However, some of you may or may not

283
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: know that I have entered into wedlock with Savannah State,

284
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: who worked for a long time in Alabama. And so

285
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: when our game is done by two o'clock Central, and

286
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: there's another game in Tuscaloosa, Alabama that doesn't kick off

287
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: until six thirty, and we know we can get down there,

288
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: it turns out we're going. So we were down there.

289
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: That wasn't a ghost, That was me. A lot of

290
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: you guys interacted with last night. I wish people could

291
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: experience these games. Niland Stadium at night, it's amazing, Bryant

292
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: Denny's amazing, Sanford Stadium a few weeks ago, amazing. And

293
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: then you go to like Penn State, you go to

294
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: ann Arbor, Eugene, like these places at night. As much

295
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: as your guy here loves a good big noon kickoff,

296
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: there's a lot of merit to witnessing these places at night.

297
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: And in this game in particular, you've got the cigar tradition,

298
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: and in this game in particular, when it's a three

299
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: possession game. They don't wait until the end of the

300
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: game to smoke the cigars. I had Bradley with me

301
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: his first Alabama game, and poor little Bradley still coughing

302
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: today from smoke in elation. And I'm a veteran of

303
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: this game, so I've seen it in both buildings before.

304
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: Bradley was not ready. It looked like a little fawn

305
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: smelling cigar smoke in an open building like that for

306
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: the first time. So it was a good night for Alabama.

307
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: This run that Caylin de Boor is on, it's pretty amazing.

308
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: I want you to go back, just me, b B

309
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: B hit the rewine button? Did I literally hit the

310
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: rewind button? Bradley? My bad. For those of you listening

311
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: on podcasts, about once every two weeks, our screen goes

312
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: blank and then we have to reset and it resets

313
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: pretty quick, but you can you can briefly just see

314
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: black on the monitor. And it just so happened to

315
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: coincide with when I did that with my finger. Okay,

316
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: so let's hit the rewind button again. Meebe me me

317
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: me uh. It's it's the Sunday after Week one, the

318
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: Sunday after Bama lost to Florida State. I remember what

319
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: I thought. Do you remember what you thought? Because I

320
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: thought this is devastating. Number One, because I questioned the

321
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: competitive character of the team. I didn't take that back.

322
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: I just have been have been given plenty enough results

323
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 1: to no longer question that. But I mean, we had

324
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: a one week sample size, Like what else were we

325
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: supposed to do? So the reason that was so devastating

326
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: is because you looked at this string of games that

327
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: was going to come up. They were going to go

328
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: at Georgia, Vandy, at Missouri Tennessee and that's a four

329
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: game stretch there, and we thought South Carolina was going

330
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: to be better than they are, and that's still a

331
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: tough game. This Saturday they got to go to at

332
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: South Carolina. You asked yourself, you've removed a lot of

333
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: your margin for error. How are you going to be

334
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: able to go through this stretch and win every game? Well,

335
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: it turns out by winning every game at Georgia, Vandy,

336
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: at Missouri Tennessee. Deburn now nineteen and three in his

337
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: career against ranked teams. It is in some ways that

338
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: anti James Franklin sort of stat they can throw in

339
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: your face the other names on this all time head

340
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: coach record versus AP ranked teams, Frank Leahy Pete Carroll,

341
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: Urban Meyern, Ryan Day on there just skip right over

342
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: poor Jack Sutherland. So yeah, they're doing okay there, and

343
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: you know what they do. They keep adding layers. Alabama

344
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: keeps adding layers to their game. We always talk about this,

345
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: the contenders that end up being there at the end

346
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: of the season. One of the hallmarks is if you

347
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: go back in time, if you play their season in reverse,

348
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: it's almost like watching a book and you're flipping pages

349
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: backwards because you're watching. As the season went on, they

350
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: added depth, they added layers, they added pages to their book,

351
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: so to speak. So early on we were questioning the

352
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: Alabama pass rush. Remember that, Well, last night four sacks,

353
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: eight tackles for loss. The last couple of weeks they've

354
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: had Kean Keeley come on last night, Yonz Pierre looks

355
00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: like he's just shot out of a cannon. He's been pressed,

356
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: he's been forced into action a little bit more. And

357
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: we talked about that group of former four and five

358
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: star guys in there too deep in the front seven preseason.

359
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: One of the big questions we had about Bama was

360
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: where's the pass rush going to come from. There's no

361
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: Dallas Turner as we can see it, there's no Will

362
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: Anderson as we can see it. Where's it going to

363
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: come from? Starting to come, starting up, community, starting to

364
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: show up more and more. Thus the layering I continue.

365
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: They didn't give up a single sack last night. Tennessee

366
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: had done very well in that category and that offensive line.

367
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: Now they weren't road graders, they weren't opening up gashes

368
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: in the run game, but man, they for the most

369
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: part gave ty Simpson time to work. And then another

370
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: layer that they started to add more and more. It

371
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: continued last night, is they've sort of come out flat

372
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 1: in second halves. The Georgia game, they needed a shutout

373
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: in the second half because they didn't really score. Last

374
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: week against Missouri, they didn't do a whole lot in

375
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: the second half. Well, last night they had ninety nine

376
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: and seventy five yard touchdown drives in the second half.

377
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: So again, there was no one thing I just listed

378
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: there that's like night and day different than what Alabama's been.

379
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: They just keep adding layers, and I am a big

380
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: believer as you look at what they did offensively last

381
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: night that we have not really seen their offensive ceiling yet.

382
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: And the reason I put it that way is because

383
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: Ty Simpson had a good night again. He was nineteen

384
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: to twenty nine, two fifty three, had a couple of touchdowns.

385
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: It's interesting their longest play was thirty one yards, but

386
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: they had eleven plays of fifteen plus yards and they

387
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: still couldn't run the ball traditionally. I mean, they have

388
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: to scratch and claw to get one hundred yards rushing,

389
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,719
Speaker 1: so there's no traditional ground game. Jeremy Bernard was their

390
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: leading rusher. I think Jesse Yeah, he was their leading rusher.

391
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: And yet still the offensive numbers scale, which is really

392
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: hard to do unless you've got a heck of a quarterback.

393
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: You got a really, really good stable of wide receivers,

394
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: and they continue to be able to scale their production

395
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: even though they don't really have a great ground game.

396
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: Ryan Williams last night hands catching the ball. I talked

397
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: to JaMarcus Sheppard after the game on the field there

398
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: wide receivers coach at Alabama said he didn't drop a

399
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: ball all week. He didn't drop a ball in pregame

400
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: until the last one we threw to him, He dropped

401
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: it and then said, okay, let's go. He looked great

402
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,479
Speaker 1: last night. He didn't have a catch last week, and

403
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: he looked great last night. But Lotzier Brooks, young guy.

404
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: He started to come on more and more. Rico Scott,

405
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: one of the favorites of this show, has started to

406
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: come on a little bit more again, just layers being added.

407
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: So then you ask yourself, all right, well, what can

408
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: the offense become? To me? The offense becomes whatever the

409
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: ground game allows it to become. Now without the ground game,

410
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: we see the potential with the ground game, which I

411
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 1: don't I think it's showing up right now, but could

412
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: theoretically probably wait until after the Carolina game and the

413
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: bye week and then November to show up. That's really

414
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: what will unlock the full potential of that offense to me.

415
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: But with Tennessee, I was talking to some people last

416
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: night on the sideline and they said, do you kind

417
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: of feel like something's missing from Tennessee? Not a bad game,

418
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: Like offensively, it wasn't a bad game. There were some

419
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: very bad decisions made, but it wasn't like they got

420
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: stuffed or anything. But I said, yeah, I feel like

421
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: something's missing. I think it's called your quarterback bailed on

422
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 1: you after spring and your old offensive coordinator turned out

423
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: to be a bona fide head coach, a star head

424
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,239
Speaker 1: coach in the making in Alex Golish, And two of

425
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: those commodities have been plucked from that program the last

426
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: couple of years. And you don't just blindly backfill there.

427
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: I hate to be the bearer of bad news. You don't.

428
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 1: So when we came into the season, I was a

429
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: little down on Tennessee relative to the public, relative to

430
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: Tennessee fans, And we're kind of sitting here in the

431
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: balance right now of who's right because they do have

432
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: a more workable schedule they always did. But this is

433
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: kind of what my thinking was, and it was there's

434
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: certainly a defensive step back coming this year, and it's

435
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: been a fairly substantial setback, and they've had a lot

436
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: of injury to to deal with. But I mean, Alex gold,

437
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: this is just hard to replace. It's been a couple

438
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: of years now, but he's hard to replace. Losing your

439
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: quarterback after spring ball, it's hard. It's just hard to

440
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: deal with that stuff. So what they haven't done is

441
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: they haven't had that year where you blend a great

442
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: offense and a great defense. We had the Hendon Hooker

443
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: year and great offense defense, and then you got like

444
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: the Joe Milton year, and we got last year we

445
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: really where defense was great. But this year, this year

446
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: is the year where I could use the dominant defense

447
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: and it's not there necessarily. So one thing before we

448
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 1: move on here. It was a great atmosphere last night.

449
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: Unbelievable atmosphere. I mean, I don't know how you get

450
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: much better for Alabama just in terms of like recruiting

451
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: and spectacles and stuff like that. But as great as

452
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 1: that was, I was listening to the post game last night.

453
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: I was listening to Kaitlin de Bor talk about how

454
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: after the Missouri game they didn't really even need to

455
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 1: talk about the twenty four hour rule. You know that's

456
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: the rule where when you win a game, you get

457
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: to enjoy it for twenty four hours then you move on. Well,

458
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: he said, last night, we didn't really even have to

459
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: enforce it. We went up there and beat Missouri, but

460
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: guys were already locked in, they were ready to go

461
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: for this Tennessee game. Well, Buddy, I was around them

462
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: a fair amount last night they celebrated that Tennessee game.

463
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: They don't have a buy. Next week they go to

464
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: South Carolina, and that's the last game in this string

465
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: of games, and that's the one that's going to be

466
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: overlooked because South Carolina has struggled mightily as of late,

467
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 1: and they're off the radar, and October is canceled. Well,

468
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: let me just remind you of something. Alabama as a

469
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: double digit favorite on the road has been terrible. Okay,

470
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: this is my national championship pick. So I cannot have

471
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: this happen. So if anyone needs to doubt them, I'll

472
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: suck it up. I'll doubt him. You got a bye

473
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: week on deck, still a little banged up, You're going

474
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 1: on the road. Obvious wounded animal spot for the home

475
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: underdog here. You're a double digit favorite. Teams have victimized

476
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: you multiple times already in Dibor's tenure at Alabama. So

477
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: I think October is canceled. But October could come right

478
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: back to live Saturday. Okay, by my calendar, it's still

479
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: going to be October. Thus October you're going to play

480
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: in Columbia. They need to save their season. Let's just

481
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: be careful. How about that. Next up, very entertaining game

482
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: here Georgia forty three, Ole Miss thirty five. I got

483
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,719
Speaker 1: to call this a for Chali game. I mean, I

484
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: applaud with the paper pops. You gotta cut the head

485
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: off the snake. It's the number one rule about Georgia football.

486
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: On this show. We try and preach it over and

487
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: over and over again. It does not matter how vulnerable

488
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: they look. It does not matter how gettable Georgia looks.

489
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 1: It does not matter how off their vintage pace they

490
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: may look. You have got to take the snake and

491
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 1: cut the head off, just clean cut, or else it's

492
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: going to continue to bite you. And it looked for

493
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 1: all the world like Old Miss was a root to

494
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: doing it yesterday, except they didn't. They hit it with

495
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: the shovel, but it was an uneven and they didn't

496
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: quite hit it flush. And there's Georgia just biting you

497
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: in the end. It's a reminder of what I admire

498
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: so much about Kirby Smart. Many many things I admire

499
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 1: about Kirby. One of the most important things is they

500
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: are so comfortable no matter what uncomfortable position you put

501
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: them in. Old school Kirby Smart, Georgia teams want to

502
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: suffocate you, and they're very comfortable playing these defensive slugfests,

503
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: and that is just not the mo of this team

504
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: this year. And to be honest, that's kind of not

505
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: the direction college football has gone. And you've got your

506
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: depth edge that's evaporated a little bit, so you can't

507
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: just roll out second stringers that are going to go

508
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: on to play on Sunday. Some third stringers is going

509
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: to go on to play on Sunday. So what do

510
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 1: you have. We got two situations already this year where

511
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: you've had to outscore somebody. You had to do it

512
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: in Kneeland against Tennessee and yesterday you had to do

513
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: it because if you were to have told me Friday

514
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: that Ole Miss was going to score five straight touchdowns

515
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: to start this game and still lose, I would have

516
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: been pretty beside myself. I would have done the math

517
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: and I would have said thirty five points. I mean, mathematically,

518
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: I think Georgia can still score enough. But who now?

519
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: I will say this, going back and watching this game,

520
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 1: I think there was a lot of criticism of the

521
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: defensive game plan here from Kirby and Glenn Human. I

522
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 1: think they knew what they were doing, which is a shocker,

523
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: I know. I just think they put together a game

524
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: plan that demanded a game of the year performance from

525
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: Gunner Stockton and they got it. So they knew Man

526
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: with the way they played ole Miss, they knew Number one,

527
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: we're gonna take away the run, which they did. Ole

528
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: Miss had twenty four carries for eighty eight yards. That's

529
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: a season low for them. They were gonna trade off,

530
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: given ole Miss some stuff underneath, and they did, and

531
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: ole Miss got theirs. And you're probably gonna give up

532
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: some scores when you do that, but you're gonna make

533
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: them sustain drives. You're gonna limit the possessions. But in turn,

534
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: you got to have your quarterback go off and Buddy,

535
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: he was twenty six of thirty one for two eighty

536
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: nine another fifty nine on the ground. He had five

537
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: touchdowns eighty four percent completion percentage. And think about a

538
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: Georgia fan watching that less than twenty four hours after

539
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: they watched Carson Beck toss four picks from Miami. Had

540
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: to be a very very weird fever dream, I know.

541
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: But George also ran it forty nine times for two

542
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty one yards. So it was a very

543
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: high scoring game. But in the end what I said

544
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: in the game preview kind of played out. It was

545
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: one of those we are Georgia moments. It was one

546
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: of those we just got to remind you sometimes who

547
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: we are and what we do now. In the past

548
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: that would have meant ole Miss just gets completely crow barred.

549
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: Well that's not this Georgia team. But what this Georgia

550
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: team can still do is they can still rectify the

551
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: areas that they needed to. So take yourself back to

552
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: spring again. Whooo woo woo woo woo woo. Rewind button

553
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: the two things that Georgia's season would hinge upon. What

554
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: did we say? Number one, they were not all that

555
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: great defensively last year stopping to run, Well, they held

556
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: ole Miss under one hundred in this game. And number two,

557
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: they themselves could not run the ball worth anything last year. Well,

558
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: they ran it for two hundred and twenty one yards

559
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: in this game, plenty good enough. As it turns out.

560
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for more tight end involvement from them,

561
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: by the way, and yesterday lost and Lucky had as

562
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,959
Speaker 1: many catches in this game as he had all season,

563
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: and Oscar Delp I think had four as well, so

564
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: that's wonderful. But this drive charts wild field goal, touchdown, touchdown,

565
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: field goal, touchdown, touchdown, field goal, kneel? Is that right, Jesse?

566
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: They scored on every drive. Pretty efficient? Pretty efficient? Are

567
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: we trashing Mike Bobo today? Are we gonna let it slide? Today?

568
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna let it. We're gonna slide this week? Okay,

569
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: I'm being told. I'm being told Bobo can stand another week. Okay,

570
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: all right, good for Mike. Every touchdown drive was over

571
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: sixty five yards. By the way, this wasn't a Texas situation.

572
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: Texas had one touchdown yesterday it was like seven yards. Now.

573
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: Georgia did it the harder way, not the hard way,

574
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: the hard dir way, Ole miss. Actually, I thought halfway

575
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: validated themselves yesterday. I say halfway intentionally. That wasn't just

576
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: a filler word. The offense scaled versus Georgia, so that's

577
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: always good. They haven't played quality competition yet, and especially

578
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: on the road. All due respect to Kentucky, but going

579
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: into Georgia was kind of where you were going to

580
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: get a lot better test of Trinidad Chamblay's and you

581
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: were going to get a lot better test of this team.

582
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: Even if it wasn't a vintage Georgia team, it's still

583
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart, it's still playing him. In Athens and Trinidad,

584
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: Chambliss played very well and they Georgia took away the

585
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: run and still needed forty to beat you. So it's

586
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: not going to look perfect against Georgia. It never does.

587
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: I thought they validated themselves. Here was the problem. It

588
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: goes back again to spring. See a lot of you

589
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: watched the show during the season, but what you don't

590
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: know is we do the show year round, and you're

591
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: not wasting your time watching the show in the spring.

592
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: Because as sure as we talked about Georgia, we talked

593
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: about ole Miss too, and we said there's certainly going

594
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: to be defensive regression here. The question is not if

595
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: they regress, it's how much. Well, we're starting to have

596
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: our answer. They were fourteenth in total defense last year.

597
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: To this point, they are sixty sixth in the country.

598
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: They are a dangerous team because they can score. They're

599
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: a vulnerable team. They can be scored upon. And that's

600
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: not the only team in the SEC I could describe

601
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: like that. Right now, their season though at ole Miss,

602
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: I think hinges on the same thing get hinged on

603
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: last year Kentucky. Now, you may think to yourself, that

604
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: makes no sense. They already played Kentucky. Yeah, I know.

605
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: And at this point last year they had already played

606
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: Kentucky and they lost, which meant every subsequent loss was

607
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: all the more detrimental. Well, they scratched out a win

608
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: over Kentucky this year and because of that, yesterday doesn't

609
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: kill them. Now, think about yesterday within the context of

610
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: having loss to Kentucky. Imagine if that was your second loss,

611
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: second conference loss as well. A whole lot different world,

612
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: isn't it. So I think ole Miss is still a

613
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: playoff team this year. Now, they got to take care

614
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: of business, but I think there's still a playoff team

615
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: because of the Kentucky game. George is in a really

616
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: good spot. They got third best odds to win the

617
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: conference right now, Ole Miss fifth best odds for the record,

618
00:32:56,280 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: Alabama Texas and m Georgia Texas in that order. The

619
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: FanDuel cannot quit Texas no matter how hard they try.

620
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: They have not watched the Kentucky game yesterday, by the way,

621
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: So George is four and one in the SEC right now,

622
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: they're remaining conference opponents. Remember their schedules a little different.

623
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: They got Florida interim head coach, They got at Mississippi State,

624
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: and then they got Texas in Athens on November fifteenth,

625
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: and then they're done with conference play. They got Charlotte

626
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: and Georgia Tech final two weeks. Just got to peak

627
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: at the right time. Just got to peak at the

628
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: right time. Remember, I know this Georgia team looks far

629
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: from dominant, far from invincible. Ohio State lost two games

630
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: in the regular season last year and got red hot

631
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: and then they were unbeatable. Get hot, stay healthy, and

632
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: then peak at the right time and shop at Academy.

633
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: Those are my keys for Georgia. The latter portion also

634
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: a key for you. So holiday shopping coming up, Christmas

635
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: shopping coming up. Just there's also holidays around Christmas. We

636
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: don't shy away from Christmas shopping around here. And so

637
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: if you're looking for some early stocking stuff for ideas

638
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: or you couldn't care less about December, you need something

639
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 1: in the here and now, Academy's got you covered. Outdoor

640
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: sporting good supplies. Of course, they've got clothing there, They've

641
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: got camping, they've got grilling, They've got almost anything under

642
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: the sun. And if you can't get their person, academy

643
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: dot com got you hooked up. They've been a longtime

644
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: supporter of our show. We eternally appreciate them. Little golf

645
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: clap every now and then. You can also get golf

646
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: equipment at Academy. A lot of people watching right now,

647
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: got about fourteen thousand or so tuned in live. I

648
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,280
Speaker 1: thank you, I thank you, and I ask on behalf

649
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: of everyone here at Payton State just make sure you

650
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: are subscribed to the channel, because this is college football

651
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: all year. Taking a sip of water so as to

652
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: avoid the pregnant pause without explanation on the pope, and

653
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: we continue. So a lot of games to get to.

654
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about Hugh Freeze in a little while.

655
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about Mike Norvel in a little while.

656
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, Notre Dame beat USC again thirty

657
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: four to twenty four. Really entertaining game. I would put

658
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: three and a half tily on this game. It kind

659
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: of read out like song lyrics to me, I have

660
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: written down here bright sunshine or pouring rain, la or

661
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: south bend, Notre Dame will be Notre Dame, and USC

662
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: can't do much about it. Now. It doesn't rhyme, but

663
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: I think set to the right tune, it perfectly encapsulates

664
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,280
Speaker 1: what we saw yesterday. Notre Dame was in survival mode.

665
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: USC was in statement mode. Remember the stance I took

666
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: last week was that Michigan wins, not a statement. That

667
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 1: was just a good, solid performance. It was very, very welcome.

668
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: But the statement would be going on the road, nasty,

669
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: rainy conditions, more physical team, two time zones away, maybe three,

670
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: go beat Notre Dame. That's the statement. And we ended

671
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: up getting nearly the exact game we predicted. And if

672
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: you don't believe me, Bradley has evidence, roll it, Bradley

673
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: until further notice. The edge that the Notre Dames of

674
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,760
Speaker 1: the world have on you is they're bigger and faster

675
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 1: and stronger than you. They're deeper than you, they're tougher

676
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: than you. Just all the stuff that you read on

677
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: the back of the college football serial box. That's the

678
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: edge that Notre Dame has on you. And the thing

679
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,760
Speaker 1: that sucks about that is they're gonna say it about

680
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: you until you prove otherwise. Yesterday, USC, with an opportunity

681
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: to prove otherwise, gives up forty four carries for three

682
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: hundred and six yards three touchdowns, So I mean that's

683
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: not quite a quarter of a mile. But Notre Dame

684
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: ran all day Southern cal twenty nine carries for sixty

685
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: eight yards. They're very banged up at the tail position.

686
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: But not every team is what they're gonna be in

687
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: week one, and I think Notre Dame is a perfect

688
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: encapsulation of that. So Notre Dame played Miami week one,

689
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: they fought them to the wire, they lost, They had

690
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: to buy. In Week two, they played A and M.

691
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: In week three, they had to shootout with them, played

692
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,760
Speaker 1: them to the wire. Lost. Then the big question became,

693
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: all right, well are they going to just string off

694
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: some wins now against anonymous teams but we don't really

695
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: know who they are? Are they gonna get their act

696
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: together but also win these games and since it's not

697
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: against quality competition, we don't know who they are. Well,

698
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 1: to me, yesterday was the most solid indication yet that

699
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: a couple of things can kind of be valid. They

700
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: deserve criticism for losing the early games, they deserve credit

701
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: for scheduling those games and then criticism for losing them.

702
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: I guess that's a better way to put it. But

703
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: I mean, if you can't see improvement defensively as of

704
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: late from Notre Dame, if you can't see that as

705
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 1: a team, the performance level is scaling a bit. I

706
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: don't think you're watching Notre Dame. And by the way,

707
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: it's not like CJ. Carr went off in this game.

708
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: He had one hundred and thirty six passing yards. It

709
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: was raining, it was a rainstorm, one touchdown, one pick.

710
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 1: But if Notre Dame can put up those kind of

711
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: rushing numbers, Notre Dame's going to be Okay. Notre Dame

712
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: is going to be in any game they play. It's

713
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: yet another team and I'm mentioning this with a few

714
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: of them tonight. It's another team where I don't particularly

715
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: care how they looked in September. I care, but I

716
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: don't care to the extent that that's the book on them.

717
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: Bad teams. Yeah, that's the book on them. They'll never

718
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,760
Speaker 1: get better. This is an elite coaching staff. It's a

719
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: very very good collection of talent, and it's potentially a

720
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: very multifaceted team. A lot of different ways to beat you.

721
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: So if they peak at the right time, if they

722
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: continue to surge here and continue to add layers to themselves,

723
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: they'll be okay. They'll be a player. Remember they've been

724
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: there before. They were there in that championship game last year.

725
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: So they get more and more dangerous as the weeks

726
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: go on. They don't have a bunch of landmines on

727
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: their schedule. I'm not the biggest fan of the way

728
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 1: it's set up. That doesn't matter because if Notre Dame

729
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 1: is the real deal, they'll make the playoff and then

730
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: they'll face playoff caliber teams, so that all solves itself.

731
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: This is kind of where USC should be if you

732
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: really think about it. This is a very very it's

733
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: a very nuanced opinion. This is not where you should be.

734
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: What is it this fifth year, Jesse, fourth or fifth

735
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: year for Lincoln? You should be further along this deep

736
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: into a head coach's tenure. Full stop. All right, Gavel

737
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 1: comes down on that statement. We start a new statement.

738
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: But if you acknowledge that Lincoln acknowledged his shortcomings last

739
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: year before last season, and he did the whole reset

740
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 1: button and he hired new personnel, and he instituted this

741
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,280
Speaker 1: whole new philosophy. And then they went and got Chad

742
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: ironically from Notre Dame Chad Bowden to or Chad Boden

743
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 1: to be the general manager there. And you're in the

744
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: middle of a reset out there, then it should take

745
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 1: a little while. Now. The million dollar question was always

746
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: will the fan base have the patience? Cause I kind

747
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: of said, all right, if you're willing to hit the

748
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: reset button three or four years in, you got to

749
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: give another two years. If you accept that philosophy, then

750
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 1: they're right where they should be. Mayava was okay yesterday

751
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 1: twenty two to forty two, three twenty eight, two touchdowns,

752
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: but he also threw two picks, kind of like they

753
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: did last year. They can't be balanced enough because they

754
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,760
Speaker 1: could not run the ball, and defensive personnel's not ready

755
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: for this yet. That makes sense. That's where they should be.

756
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: Now you keep stacking a different caliber of athlete out there,

757
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: and maybe that's different next year. Their last four drives

758
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: they couldn't finish, interception, fumble, turnover, on downs, interception, So

759
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,439
Speaker 1: that makes sense. That makes it. It's a really good

760
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: reality check for where you are. It makes sense. It's

761
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: not a conference game. Your season's not over. You got Oregon, Nebraska,

762
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: Northwestern Iowa, and Ucla. You got five conference games left.

763
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: You're a one loss team out there. All your goals

764
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 1: are still in front of you, just like Notre Dame.

765
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: I think I think Notre Dame's goals are still in

766
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: front of them. It is my opinion that if Notre

767
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: Dame wins out there in the playoff. Not everyone shares

768
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 1: that opinion. But okay, bigger question. Not only do they

769
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 1: win these final five games? Do they continue ascending as

770
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,760
Speaker 1: they play the final five games? Their toughest remaining opponent,

771
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 1: by our estimation, is at Pitt. But again, it's college

772
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: football twenty twenty five, so anything can happen. We continue. Oh,

773
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: I forgot kind of got to talk about Brian Kelly too,

774
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 1: don't we. I was at Vanderbilt yesterday thirty one to

775
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: twenty four. Vandy beats LSU is a favorite. Vandy played

776
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: like a favorite. Vandy ends up winning the game. We

777
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: were at the game. We were fueled by quick trip

778
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: every step of the way. Drove a whole mile and

779
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: a half to get over there. It is so important

780
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: to use proper context on this game. So firstly, let's

781
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 1: give it three and a half t I very fun environment,

782
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: very entertaining. We got treated great, so much so that

783
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 1: we're going back this weekend. But it's important to use

784
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: proper context because this was not a bad LSU team.

785
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: It wasn't a fluke outcome. It's not like Vandy's plus

786
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 1: four turnovers and oh that explains it, that's how it happened.

787
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: It's none of that's You've got Vanderbilt, who is the

788
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: better football team, and they won a game at home.

789
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: It's no different than a million other examples in major

790
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: college football. It's just that you're not used to Vanderbilt

791
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: being mentioned in major college football, but they are now.

792
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 1: Things have radically changed there, so they are now. So

793
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 1: if you didn't watch the game and you're just seeing

794
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: the outcome, I know what a million years of college

795
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: football history has taught you, and it is if Vanderbilt

796
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: wins a game against LSU, you got to get an

797
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: explanation for how it happened. The only explanation is they're

798
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: better than LSU. That's the only explanation you need. They

799
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 1: were better yesterday and they are a better team than LSU.

800
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: Vandy use strengths to their advantage. They used the bye

801
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 1: week to their advantage. They out rushed LSU two thirty

802
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: nine to one hundred. And that's where LSU having a

803
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 1: fifty one yard run mixed in there. Outside of the

804
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: one explosive, this sounds like a Michigan take. Outside of

805
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,359
Speaker 1: the one explosive, they didn't do much on the ground

806
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: at all. Pavia ran it seventeen times for eighty six yards.

807
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: They had a sixty seven to forty nine plays run

808
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,800
Speaker 1: at vantage. LSU did not even run fifty plays. LSU

809
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: was held to eight drives. I was talking to some

810
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: LSU coaches on the field before the game. One of

811
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: the things they were most keenly aware of is you

812
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: should see analytically how LSU compares to other teams with

813
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: how many drives they limit you to. It's not like

814
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: they weren't aware of it. They just got sucked into

815
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: playing a Vandy game anyway, and Vandy, outside of those

816
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 1: two red zone turnovers, itinst Alabama and those count. But

817
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: like if you flip any of that, be an undefeated team.

818
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: They've got a very clear identity. They are physical, they

819
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: are a high quality SEC team right now. They are

820
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 1: a threat to go to Atlanta. They are a threat

821
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 1: to make the College Football Playoff. They've got Missouri coming

822
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: into town this weekend. College Game Day is in Nashville.

823
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: The Fall Don't Lie Tour is in Nashville. Do you

824
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:26,879
Speaker 1: know what it's like to finally have a top ten

825
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 1: team in our backyard where we don't have to get

826
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 1: on an airplane and go all over the country. It's phenomenal.

827
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: So thank you Clark Lee, thank you Barton Simmons, and

828
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: thank you everyone else over there. I would name everybody

829
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: in the building, but actually we can go as long

830
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: as we want to on the show. But still it

831
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,399
Speaker 1: would be irresponsible. I'm going to talk about Brian Kelly

832
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: in a second, but look, LSU's offense is what it is.

833
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,919
Speaker 1: It's pretty inexcusable. I thought a couple of years ago

834
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: they had Jaden Daniels down there and LSU not being

835
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:58,959
Speaker 1: able to play competent defense was just so inexcusable cause

836
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 1: it's LSU. Well then they got that fixed by hiring

837
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: American hero Blake Baker. Although defense sprung a leak of

838
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: time or two yesterday, Diego Pavio will do these things

839
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,240
Speaker 1: to you, but by and large. They can't run the ball.

840
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: Outside of last week, which turned out to be just

841
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 1: a blip on the radar screen, a little faint heartbeat

842
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: of success running the ball against South Carolina, they've had nothing.

843
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 1: They had one explosive run yesterday and otherwise could do

844
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: nothing on the ground, which led to inconsistency, which led

845
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:35,240
Speaker 1: to imbalance, which led to here we go again, Garrett

846
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: Nussmeyer trying to do too much because he's being asked

847
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 1: to do too much and he's far less than one

848
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: hundred percent. Anybody's naked eye or naked eye, as Mima

849
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: would say, can see this. Last year. Whatever his season

850
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 1: high in passing yards was this year's season high, he

851
00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:00,399
Speaker 1: achieved eight times last year. So it's not And it's

852
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: like an apples to bowling balls comparison this year to

853
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: last year. Their ninety first and explosive plays. They're a

854
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: sugar high offense. That's basically what they are like yesterday.

855
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: When they get like the freak occurrence, the explosive run there,

856
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: it is there, it is there, it is It's a

857
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,919
Speaker 1: sugar high offense. There's no consistency to it. That's why

858
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 1: we keep making such a big deal about Alabama. Alabama

859
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,840
Speaker 1: can't run the ball all that great either. Alabama is

860
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,839
Speaker 1: still a high functioning offense. LSU can't run the ball,

861
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 1: and it kind of turns into a disaster, and it

862
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 1: did again yesterday, not a disaster to the extent where

863
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: they didn't have a chance to win, but I mean,

864
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 1: think about what we're talking about here now. This is

865
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: supposed to be a national championship caliber program this year.

866
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: This team this year was supposed to be an SEC

867
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 1: national championship caliber team, and they're having a fight just

868
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: to stay in it at Vanderbilt. And that's no disrespect

869
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 1: to Vanderbilt. It is an indictment on where LSU's team

870
00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: is this year. So where's the program? Where's the program?

871
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 1: Where are things with Brian Kelly? I didn't beat around

872
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: the bush with this last week. I kind of did

873
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: only cause I don't like making definitive statements on this

874
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: stuff because very frequently it's not definitive, it's fluid. I

875
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,280
Speaker 1: was getting some pretty strong indication last week this Vanderbook

876
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:22,760
Speaker 1: game was very, very important for Brian Kelly's future down there. Well,

877
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: they lost it and then they flew back home. So

878
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: now what's the situation with Brian Kelly. Well, I viewed

879
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,800
Speaker 1: yesterday as sort of an inflection point. It was different

880
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 1: than you know, Hugh Freeze or Mike Norvel with Brian Kelly.

881
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly wasn't going to lose the Vanderbilt game and

882
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 1: then lose his job the next day. But what I

883
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 1: believe is there are some things coming down the road

884
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: for Brian Kelly that were put in motion yesterday. Now

885
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,280
Speaker 1: Here's what I suspect is going on in that building today.

886
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,359
Speaker 1: What I suspect is going on is you've got maybe

887
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: an athletic director and maybe a head coach and maybe

888
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: some other power players who sit down kind of a

889
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:02,479
Speaker 1: meeting of the mind and are kind of a meeting

890
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: of the minds and you assess the situation. This happens frequently.

891
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 1: It's not an LSU thing, and it's pretty obvious that

892
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: there are some fundamental flaws here. It's very obvious that

893
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,760
Speaker 1: there was a hireedt offensive coordinator for a guy probably

894
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: not qualified to hold that job. Now. I like Joe

895
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: Sloan as a person. I like him. I have very

896
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: very much been hesitant to throw Joe Sloan under the

897
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: bus because Number one, Joe Sloane is working from a

898
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: kind of hamstrung position himself. But number two, if you

899
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: think Joe Sloane is the worst offensive coordinator in history,

900
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: he didn't hire himself. As my point, so I really

901
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:46,879
Speaker 1: stopped short of throwing people under the bus when they're

902
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 1: underachieving if we're not going to acknowledge who put them

903
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:55,799
Speaker 1: in the position they'rein. So that's Brian Kelly. And then

904
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 1: to take it a step further, you could come back

905
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,879
Speaker 1: at me from fifty thousand foot and say, yeah, Josh,

906
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 1: but if you're gonna be critical of that move, don't

907
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 1: you have to give credit for Blake Baker at defensive

908
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: coordinator or Austin Thomas where he is, or any even

909
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 1: number of other really good moves that they've made lately. Well,

910
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 1: if you've also listened to this show, I've been careful

911
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 1: with how I've worded that, because I haven't really given

912
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly credit for those moves, because they weren't Brian

913
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 1: Kelly's moves. They were organizational moves. This right here is

914
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly move. So Brian Kelly's pressed some wrong buttons

915
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: down there, and he's pressed some right ones. Dude, I've

916
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 1: been a big supporter Brian Kelly. Okay, so everyone knows

917
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 1: that about me. I've been called a Kelly Homer on

918
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: this show. But for that crowd out there that just

919
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: wanders fairly around the internet thinks we never criticize anyone, well,

920
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 1: this is Brian Kelly criticism. So I imagine if I

921
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 1: know Brian Kelly from a distance, like I think I do,

922
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: that Brian Kelly is presented with the fact that his

923
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,799
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator's not good enough, his offensive product is not

924
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: good enough, and while his job is not immediately in jeopardy,

925
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: he needs to make changes, especially if they lose this Saturday,

926
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 1: he needs to make changes now. He could either make

927
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 1: those changes or he could look and say no, and frankly,

928
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,839
Speaker 1: I don't know which direction you'll go, but I do

929
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 1: think that's the situation down there right now. I do

930
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 1: think that's the dynamic down there right now. And I

931
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 1: think Brian Kelly, probably if we gave him this microphone,

932
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:32,479
Speaker 1: would have a pretty strong case for why he thinks.

933
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 1: There's a million other problems down there that aren't related

934
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: to Joe Sloan. But at the end of the day,

935
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 1: offenseve coordinator is an issue. There and there's a little stubbornness,

936
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:43,879
Speaker 1: probably from the head of that program to admit that.

937
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 1: And I don't really know where it's going to end.

938
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: But I will say, Bradley, if you could throw LSU's

939
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 1: schedule up again for just a second, I will say this,

940
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: They're not out of anything. It's a very weird situation

941
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:58,919
Speaker 1: right now. LSU is five and two. If they went out,

942
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: they're in the playoff. They may be in Atlanta. But

943
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 1: even if they're not, because they got two conference losses,

944
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: they'd be in the playoff. I mean, what are we

945
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 1: gonna do fire a guy who, for all we know

946
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: could be headed to the playoff. I don't think they are,

947
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 1: because I don't think they're done losing, but they haven't

948
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: lost yet, so all that action is forced in the future.

949
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 1: A and M comes in there Saturday, they go to

950
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 1: Alabama after the bye. Arkansas is one of the offenses

951
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: i'd least like to face right now, and then they

952
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: go to Oklahoma to finish the season. They're probably more

953
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 1: losses coming here. We had LSU going eight and four

954
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 1: preseason and we got drug for it, and I think

955
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna go eight and four. That's where I think

956
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna finish up. It's not good enough, shouldn't be

957
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: good enough. But the LSU situation is very unique. They

958
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: don't have a president right now. I mean, so you know,

959
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 1: if you even if you want to fire Brian Kelly,

960
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:51,839
Speaker 1: who in the world's gonna fire him? Who's gonna sign

961
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: off on it? I think they'll have one in there

962
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 1: by like mid November. But I mean, are we really saying,

963
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 1: welcome new president, pull this, get rid of our head coach.

964
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: That stuff's easier said than done. However, remember the climate

965
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 1: we're in. We're in a climate where we're going to

966
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 1: see big time moves all over the place. Penn State's

967
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 1: done it, Florida's done it. They're not the last ones,

968
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: They're just the latest ones. There is a world where

969
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: LSU does make this move, but not right now. There

970
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: need to be more losses. If there are wins instead

971
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: of losses, it's a moot point. I don't think there

972
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: will be wins unless there are fundamental changes made about

973
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:32,240
Speaker 1: the offensive structure of that team, and I question whether

974
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly will be willing to make those moves. Therefore,

975
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 1: that's why I think the losses will come Here's what

976
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 1: I think it comes down to. If it comes to that,

977
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: LSU needs to be aware of what they already have

978
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: in hand if they make a move. Penn State did

979
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: not do this. I don't think Penn State had the

980
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 1: slightest clue who was available to them before they fired Franklin.

981
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 1: They just fired Franklin. LSU needs to be smarter than that.

982
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,240
Speaker 1: LSU is one of the best jobs in America. LSU.

983
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 1: Some people would call it the best job in college football.

984
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: It is a slam dunk top five job in college football.

985
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 1: And I said it about Florida. I will say it

986
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: even more emphatically about LSU. I think you'd be fairly

987
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:18,799
Speaker 1: shocked given the right circumstances, as to who would take

988
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 1: that job if offered. It's not open right now, and

989
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: they're five and two with their destiny, their playoff destinies

990
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 1: in their own hands. But it's very shaky times down

991
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: in Baton Rouge right now. Candidly, just speaking honestly here,

992
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 1: it is good for business at Payton State when LSU wins.

993
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: LSU is the reason this show exists like it does.

994
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,839
Speaker 1: I've told the story about twenty nineteen many times, so

995
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 1: when it comes time to be critical of LSU, I

996
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 1: never shy away from it. And it is for a

997
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 1: selfish reason because I badly want LSU to win, badly

998
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 1: want LSU to win, and I will not lie and

999
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 1: pretend like everything's okay when it's not. Everything's not okay

1000
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 1: at LSU. It hasn't been for a while. I I

1001
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 1: just I questioned the long term sustainability. That's what I question.

1002
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: Let's move on, speaking of it's that kind of show.

1003
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: It's still October. It's that kind of show. I don't

1004
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 1: know how late you stayed up last night, but I

1005
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 1: was sitting in an airport terminal in Tuscaloosa until the

1006
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:26,919
Speaker 1: wee hours of the morning, waiting for weather to move through.

1007
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: And that is where I watched Stanford beat Florida State.

1008
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 1: What Yes, Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Florida State, the team

1009
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 1: that drug Alabama in week one is now three and four.

1010
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 1: Mike Norvel has nine straight acc losses. How how in

1011
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 1: the world does that happen? Pete Nakos roaming the halls

1012
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 1: earlier today here in this very building, said earlier. Decision

1013
00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 1: makers are holding informal calls to discuss Mike Norvel's future translation,

1014
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 1: do we want to fire him? You don't need to

1015
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 1: debate whether this performance is fireable. Of course it is.

1016
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 1: Of course it's not good enough. But that's why buyouts exist.

1017
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 1: Buyouts are baked into contracts. Well, number one to fleece

1018
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 1: athletic directors jackpot, and number two to make sure there

1019
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: are no knee jerk emotional decisions that are made because

1020
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 1: those decisions cost a lot of money. Well, here we are.

1021
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 1: We've got a decision that would cost a whole lot

1022
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 1: of money. In fact, fifty four million dollars looks to

1023
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,399
Speaker 1: be the buyout. And when you add it all up,

1024
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 1: the cost that it takes to get rid of an

1025
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,280
Speaker 1: entire staff, the cost to hire a new staff, FSU

1026
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 1: is having to make about one hundred million dollar decision

1027
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 1: here do they want to make that decision? Can they

1028
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 1: afford to make that decision? One of the key debate

1029
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: topics over on war Chant earlier today, because I was

1030
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: looking at the message board is can we afford to

1031
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:56,319
Speaker 1: Mike nor Can we afford to fire Mike Norvel? And

1032
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,360
Speaker 1: of course the logical follow up is can we afford

1033
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 1: not to fire Mike NORVEO? I have no idea. What

1034
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:08,280
Speaker 1: the future is here, because it's not built on anything.

1035
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:12,360
Speaker 1: And yet again I have to preface all this with

1036
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 1: we went down there in the spring. We had Mike

1037
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: on the show, and I said last week, and I

1038
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 1: will say again this week, I think they exhausted every

1039
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 1: option that they thought they could exhaust. He made new hires.

1040
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: I think they pressed thirty seven different buttons after last year.

1041
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 1: And I fully believe to this moment that he was

1042
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 1: adamant when he said, I believe we made the right moves,

1043
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 1: just like with Napier. He said, I believe me calling

1044
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 1: plays gives us the best chance to win. Both of

1045
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: those guys. I believe we're being fully honest when they

1046
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:49,320
Speaker 1: said down on the show, I think Billy was wrong

1047
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:52,400
Speaker 1: and he's lost his job because of that. I don't

1048
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 1: know that Mike was able to press enough buttons to

1049
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 1: change last year in one year. The problem here is

1050
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 1: what's the future built on. Let's say let's say I

1051
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: retain Mike Norvea, give him another year. What am I

1052
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: giving him another year to do? I know my donors

1053
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 1: aren't going to invest in nil because they already have.

1054
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 1: And this is what we've got, and we don't have

1055
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 1: a future built on in house recruiting. We've got a

1056
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 1: future built on the portal. We're just going to portal

1057
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: every year. So there's really no sustainable model here. And

1058
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 1: I have the one result in twenty twenty three, it

1059
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 1: looks to clearly be the outlier. Twenty twenty two he

1060
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: went ten and three. Twenty twenty three was thirteen to one,

1061
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 1: and since then he's won five games combined over a

1062
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 1: year and a half. And it's not good enough. The

1063
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 1: Florida State job is an interesting conversation. It's interesting because

1064
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 1: James Franklin just got fired at Penn State and he's

1065
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:53,040
Speaker 1: just hanging out down there at thirty eight on the

1066
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 1: Florida Gulf Coast, where everyone except me tends to hang out.

1067
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:01,919
Speaker 1: I'm a Panama City beach guy. Can't hide it, can't

1068
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 1: hide it. But James Franklin's just down the road. What

1069
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 1: if you could have James Franklin today, because you can

1070
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 1: if your job's open. Would that be an upgrade? I

1071
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 1: think it would be an upgrade. Would it be a fit? Yeah,

1072
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 1: I think it'd be a fit. Would he take it

1073
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 1: in a heartbeat? That's the conversation that I've heard today.

1074
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:23,320
Speaker 1: Now there's some other names out there. I'll let Nakos

1075
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: report on that. There are some other names I've heard,

1076
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: maybe interest, maybe not. You also don't know, like what's

1077
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 1: the future of the ACC, what's the future of Florida

1078
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 1: State as a program. Those are questions you have to

1079
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 1: ask there that you don't have to ask, like if

1080
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 1: you're taking a big ten job or an SEC job. Now,

1081
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: I think they'll be fine, Like Florida State's going to

1082
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 1: be fine. Whatever situation arises, they'll end up on the

1083
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 1: better end of it. But you like to know all

1084
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: the external factors, all the unknowables. You largely like to

1085
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: have in order, and you may not have that, but look,

1086
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 1: if you're James Franklin, you're taking that job. So the

1087
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 1: bottom line is, and I think we're gonna get movement

1088
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 1: on this pretty quickly one way or the other. Either

1089
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna back him and they're gonna get behind him,

1090
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 1: or they're gonna let him go. They got to buy

1091
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 1: week this upcoming week. My guess is they're gonna let

1092
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 1: him go. My guess is Mike Norvelle is gonna be

1093
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 1: done at Florida State. That's the best information I have

1094
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 1: and again, think about what we're in the middle of.

1095
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 1: They're not done losing games, obviously, so if it's not

1096
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 1: this week, it'll be eventually. Think about what we're in

1097
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 1: the middle of. Think about how many big jobs are

1098
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 1: coming open. It's insane. You never could have predicted this.

1099
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 1: I was talking to someone last night who is intimately

1100
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 1: like in the weeds on this stuff, and he said,

1101
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 1: we don't know. It's a day to day thing. Like

1102
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 1: if you were to, he said, if you were to

1103
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 1: have told me seventy two hours ago what I'm hearing

1104
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 1: right now, I would have thought you were crazy. Seventy

1105
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 1: two hours ago. He's right, He's right, Let's move on.

1106
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to do this, but I'm gonna do it.

1107
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 1: I'm a brave, brave little toaster. Tonight, I was aware

1108
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 1: of what happened Friday night. I wanted to duck it,

1109
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: and I hoped everyone would just forget that Louisville beat Miami.

1110
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 1: But in the interest of the Commissioner's poll having Miami

1111
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 1: number one, a lot of you have seen fit to

1112
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 1: continue to fill my dms with reminders that Miami, my

1113
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 1: number one team, fell and I just want to remind you.

1114
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 1: I have no plans to apologize for having them number one.

1115
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:34,440
Speaker 1: I mean it was a good game, at least three

1116
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 1: and a half child I I think we had it

1117
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 1: rated on the one to five scale. You remember Thursday

1118
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 1: night we do upset alerts, which apparently none of our

1119
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 1: haters watched because we circled this game. It was the

1120
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: first one we talked about. Was actually the last one

1121
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 1: because it was going to happen on a Friday, but

1122
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: it was the first one we did in house. We

1123
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:55,240
Speaker 1: broke it down and we said, if we get a

1124
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:58,760
Speaker 1: Miller Moss ceiling game, you got that combined with the

1125
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: most underrated head coach in the mayor er a Louisville

1126
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 1: can beat Miami. Well, Louisville beat Miami because we say

1127
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 1: it every year. Jeff Brom is a top ten head

1128
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: coach period, which begs the question what a top ten

1129
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 1: head coach? Well, if that's true, why is he not

1130
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:15,920
Speaker 1: involved in any more of these coaching searches? That's a

1131
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 1: great question everyone. Why isn't Jeff Brohm's name involved in

1132
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:23,680
Speaker 1: more of these coaching searches? I'll tell you why, Because

1133
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 1: Jeff Brom doesn't really care to appeal to anyone. He

1134
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 1: just kind of is who he is. He's coaching at

1135
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 1: his all modern. He's in no hurry to get out

1136
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,120
Speaker 1: of there. He'll stay at Louisville forever if he wants to.

1137
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 1: But Jeff Brom's not the kind of guy that takes

1138
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 1: a lot of time sprucing up his resume. Jeff Bram

1139
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 1: is not the kind of guy who spends two and

1140
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 1: a half hours in front of the mirror making sure

1141
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 1: he looks good for a potential employer. Now, just I

1142
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 1: am who I am. I'm Jeff Brom. Deal with it.

1143
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 1: Oh oh, that's a little rough around the edges. We

1144
01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:59,000
Speaker 1: can't hire that Jeff Brom. That's not a sexy name.

1145
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I forgot. It's about more than winning football

1146
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 1: games around here anyway. Miller Moss just two forty eight

1147
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns, added a rushing touchdown, and he got

1148
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 1: it out quick. Immunity Miami had no time to get

1149
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:14,840
Speaker 1: pressure on him. They had one sack the whole night.

1150
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 1: It is snap pulled throw. It works, as it turns out,

1151
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 1: it works. Huge game from Chris Bell here. They're a

1152
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:25,840
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver, which just I want you to

1153
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 1: store that in the back of your mind. As Miami

1154
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 1: gets down the road, you know they're gonna face They

1155
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:33,600
Speaker 1: may face Ryan Williams, they may face Jeremiah Smith, they

1156
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 1: may face Mario Craver, Casey Concepcion. Just lets you know

1157
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 1: what a stud receiver can do against that secondary, So

1158
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 1: keep that in mind. I thought Miami was a toolbox offense.

1159
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 1: Those are those offenses where we think they have multiple

1160
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 1: ways they can beat you. They ran the ball good

1161
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 1: against Notre Dame, they ran it against Florida. They got

1162
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:55,600
Speaker 1: shut down against Louisville two point six yards per carry.

1163
01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 1: It's kind of like an LSU game. They couldn't run it. Therefore,

1164
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 1: they had to ask the quarterback to do too much,

1165
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,800
Speaker 1: and Carson Beck threw interceptions all night. Could have thrown

1166
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 1: more through four of them could have thrown more. The

1167
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:11,440
Speaker 1: one thing I hated watching Miami last year was cam Ward,

1168
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 1: But not cam Ward. What I hated was watching everyone

1169
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 1: wait for him to do something. When you got enough

1170
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 1: elite athletes, there ought to be a different guy that

1171
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:24,160
Speaker 1: pops off the screen every week, and last year that

1172
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:27,040
Speaker 1: wasn't the case. And a little bit the other night

1173
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 1: I felt like that watching Miami. So it's one loss.

1174
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,000
Speaker 1: Everything's still in front of him and it could be

1175
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 1: good for him, But I'm not gonna say it will

1176
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 1: be good for him because they have to make that

1177
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:39,640
Speaker 1: decision again. There are one hundred and fourth in penalties

1178
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 1: this year. They were one hundred and twentieth last year,

1179
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 1: so that's popping up again. This is I think the

1180
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 1: best team they've had. It's the collection that has the

1181
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:51,240
Speaker 1: best potential that Mario has had. Let me put it

1182
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 1: that way. But a lot of people were throwing this

1183
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 1: tweet in my face that I posted a couple of

1184
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 1: weeks ago after the Florida State game. I said no

1185
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 1: team in the country looks like Miami, and they thought

1186
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 1: that I was going to backtrack on that. No team

1187
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 1: does look like Miami physically. I've watched them play like

1188
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 1: I've watched I've stood there and watched Ohio State from

1189
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 1: fifteen feet away. I've watched Miami. Miami's got freak shows

1190
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:20,240
Speaker 1: all over the place. So does Ohio State. Ohio State's

1191
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:22,680
Speaker 1: not taking a big back seat. I'm just saying Miami's

1192
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:28,800
Speaker 1: insane looking. Looking and playing are two different things. That's

1193
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 1: why I didn't say there's no team that's as good

1194
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 1: as Miami. I said, there's no team that looks like Miami.

1195
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna say that's word play. I know what they're

1196
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:40,960
Speaker 1: gonna say. That's an indictment on them to look like that,

1197
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 1: the whole Tarzan Jaye thing. To look like that and

1198
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 1: still give me those results. See that's where Ohio State

1199
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 1: gets you, because Ohio State's not having those games at

1200
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 1: least this year so far. Ohio State just goes and

1201
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 1: puts the pillow over everyone's face, and Miami's like, uh,

1202
01:04:55,760 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 1: Louisville Friday night, Okay, I guess we'll show up. So

1203
01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:05,960
Speaker 1: there's a ways to go down there, ways to go.

1204
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 1: I removed. They removed a little bit of my trust.

1205
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 1: That's what they did. You know what I trust flex

1206
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 1: Power because flex Power yesterday they joined us at the

1207
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:19,320
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt game. We gave away a flex Power generator yesterday

1208
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 1: to one lucky Vanderbilt Commodore tailgater. They had to answer

1209
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:26,240
Speaker 1: three trivia questions. They nailed it, and we gave them

1210
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 1: a flex Power generator. We appreciate them. We actually had

1211
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 1: an LSU fan come up and say I cranked the

1212
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:36,040
Speaker 1: generator in front of her. She said, that thing's quiet.

1213
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, yeah, it sure is quietest on the market.

1214
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 1: I wasn't qualified to say that, but it turns out

1215
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,960
Speaker 1: I was right. Those things are really really effective, really

1216
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:48,960
Speaker 1: easy to use, and if you're out there tailgating, you

1217
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 1: need one. If you live in a place where it

1218
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 1: ever storms, and judging by our audience, like one hundred

1219
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:58,040
Speaker 1: percent of you do you need a backup generator. In fact,

1220
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:00,720
Speaker 1: I call it my primary generator, not even in my backup.

1221
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:03,439
Speaker 1: My old one is now my backup. Go to myflexpower

1222
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 1: dot com forward slash Josh Pate. They'll take care of

1223
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 1: all your needs. Some of these needs you don't even

1224
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,720
Speaker 1: know you have, but they are needs. Indeed, let's continue.

1225
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 1: I have it the AP pole. It's out and good

1226
01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:19,440
Speaker 1: on the AP pole. I've got some criticisms here, but

1227
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 1: good on the AP pole because it looks more and

1228
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 1: more like the Commissioner's pole every week. And aside from Miami,

1229
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 1: that little snafu, having them number one last week, that's

1230
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 1: a good thing, generally a good thing. So Michigan's number

1231
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 1: twenty five, huh yesterday? No sooner had they disposed of

1232
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 1: Washington before our boy Taylor Lawan texted me, we may

1233
01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 1: be back. You may be, you're back in the ap

1234
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 1: pole there, not dead quite yet. Five and two. So

1235
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:49,919
Speaker 1: we'll see Arizona State's twenty four big win for them

1236
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 1: against Texas Tech, Illinois, Texas and Cincinnati twenty three, twenty

1237
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 1: two to twenty one. Look, I know that you have

1238
01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:02,960
Speaker 1: to judge these teams relatively. Tech was horrific looking yesterday,

1239
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 1: but they won. They won. I'll get to that game

1240
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:10,280
Speaker 1: in a little while. They won, I want to say,

1241
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 1: but okay, that means Texas shouldn't be in the top

1242
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:16,080
Speaker 1: ten or fifteen. Twenty two is probably still right for them.

1243
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 1: But trust me, when when I first saw Texas was

1244
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 1: ranked twenty two, I could have sworn that I was

1245
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:24,320
Speaker 1: gonna lobby for teams to be over them. I got one,

1246
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 1: I got what about what about Navy? I gotta be

1247
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 1: honest with you. I'm not doing the Commissioner's poll until Thursday.

1248
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 1: I got to give a very very close look at Navy.

1249
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:42,720
Speaker 1: Navy is Navy's looking good? Man and Navy, I know

1250
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 1: comparison wise, like we're gonna do the strength of schedule thing,

1251
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 1: and I know that their best win. Even some of

1252
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: these teams with losses, they still have a better win

1253
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 1: than Navy's best win. I get all that, but let's

1254
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 1: just I think the AP had him like twenty eight

1255
01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 1: or twenty ninth. I'm gonna give a solid look at Navy.

1256
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 1: What about LSU drop in ten spots to number twenty?

1257
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:07,920
Speaker 1: Is that fair? Is that right? Probably not if you

1258
01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 1: believe in Vanderbilt's ranking. However, I don't think the AP

1259
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 1: believes in Vanderbilt's ranking, so I believe that LSU gets

1260
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 1: punished a little bit more for losing to Vanderbilt than

1261
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 1: they would have been had they lost to Notre Dame

1262
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:25,320
Speaker 1: or Miami or someone like that. Louisville's nineteen USF is eighteen.

1263
01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 1: Tennessee drops six spots to seventeen. Virginia is sixteen. Virginia

1264
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:33,559
Speaker 1: is kind of quiet right now. They are in prime

1265
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 1: position to go to the ACC Championship game. I just

1266
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 1: want everyone to realize that Missouri is at fifteen, and

1267
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:40,920
Speaker 1: here's the team I want to talk about. Texas Tech

1268
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 1: is at fourteenth. They dropped seven spots because they took

1269
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:48,759
Speaker 1: their backup quarterback on the road and lost to Arizona

1270
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 1: State yesterday. Now I don't have a problem with them

1271
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:53,800
Speaker 1: dropping I want you to pay attention to what this

1272
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 1: could mean. A lot of times, what we find is

1273
01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 1: as we get later and later in the season, the

1274
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:02,760
Speaker 1: ap VODOR thinking is pretty much in line with the

1275
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 1: Playoff Committee thinking. If that tracks this year, then you're

1276
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 1: starting to see an indication of what the Big twelve

1277
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 1: is in their mind. Cause Texas Tech has been the

1278
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 1: best team in the Big twelve. Okay, they lose a

1279
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 1: game yesterday, very competitive on the roads, a one possession game,

1280
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:24,879
Speaker 1: and they drop seven spots. So they're now behind Oklahoma,

1281
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:29,400
Speaker 1: They're behind Vanderbilt, they're behind Miami, They're behind a lot

1282
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:31,640
Speaker 1: of these teams. And is that the perception of the

1283
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:34,360
Speaker 1: Big twelve. That's just a little question to keep in

1284
01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:37,720
Speaker 1: mind as we keep on going calls. The other thing

1285
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:41,280
Speaker 1: to look at, So Oklahoma's thirteenth, think about Notre Dame

1286
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 1: and BYU twelve and eleven, respectively. Notre Dame is a

1287
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:49,559
Speaker 1: two lost team and they're right behind Brigham Young. Brigham

1288
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:53,920
Speaker 1: Young's undefeated. They're up four spots. So that's basically the message.

1289
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:55,720
Speaker 1: You've got to be undefeated in the Big twelve right

1290
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:59,559
Speaker 1: now to sniff the top ten, and otherwise we're gonna

1291
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 1: have two law power teams right there on your heels.

1292
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 1: I think that's the perception of the Big twelve. Vandy

1293
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:07,040
Speaker 1: is a top ten team for the first time since

1294
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 1: nineteen forty one. And by the way, who could forget

1295
01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 1: that forty one Vandy team. Vandy is doing things they

1296
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 1: have quite literally not done in the color television era.

1297
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:23,080
Speaker 1: World War One was the number one topic on this

1298
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:26,200
Speaker 1: World War two was the number one topic on this show.

1299
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:30,600
Speaker 1: The last time Vanderbilt was ranked in the top ten unbelievable.

1300
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 1: Show was only a couple of years old at that point.

1301
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:36,880
Speaker 1: And they play in Missouri this weekend. Miami has down

1302
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 1: seven spots. They're at number nine, Ole miss is eight,

1303
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:44,240
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech is seven, Georgia Tech's up five spots to seven,

1304
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:49,120
Speaker 1: and Oregon is six. Now here's my question, Miami and Oregon.

1305
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:54,400
Speaker 1: Oregon ahead of Miami, justified or not. I'm not asking

1306
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:56,120
Speaker 1: who you would favor on a neutral field. That's for

1307
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 1: the JP poll. Do we think that Oregon's resume is

1308
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:02,559
Speaker 1: better than miamiamis because I look at Orgon's resume. You've

1309
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 1: got the Penn State win, which I'm not devaluing. I've

1310
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:07,320
Speaker 1: told you I'm not devaluing that, so that win still

1311
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:11,160
Speaker 1: carries maximum value to me. I don't blame Oregon for

1312
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 1: Penn State suffering the effects of the Oregon laws. I

1313
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:18,640
Speaker 1: credit Oregon for that. So I'm actually very optimistic. I'm

1314
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:23,479
Speaker 1: very pro Oregon Penn State win. However, I've also watched

1315
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:27,880
Speaker 1: Miami beat Notre Dame and beat USF. So if you

1316
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:29,640
Speaker 1: believe Notre Dame is the twelfth best team in the

1317
01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: country and USF's the eighteenth best team in the country,

1318
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:36,040
Speaker 1: don't they have a better resume than Oregon. I don't know.

1319
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:38,719
Speaker 1: It's not huge separation. I just found out a little puzzling.

1320
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:44,120
Speaker 1: Georgia is five, Alabama is four A and m is three,

1321
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 1: and then Indiana and Ohio State are two and one.

1322
01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:52,000
Speaker 1: The top six right now are all sec Big ten.

1323
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:56,160
Speaker 1: So I know what the immediate reaction there is, uh

1324
01:11:56,520 --> 01:12:02,559
Speaker 1: favoritism who belong in there over them? If you're using

1325
01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:07,840
Speaker 1: blind resume comparative analysis, So forget about the conference a

1326
01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 1: team is in use blind resume, who really belongs in

1327
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:14,639
Speaker 1: there over those teams. I also want to remind you,

1328
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:17,320
Speaker 1: going back to the playoff for just a second. Remember

1329
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:22,439
Speaker 1: this year, the playoff seeding is different this year. They're

1330
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 1: just taking the top four teams and given them the buys.

1331
01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:28,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if you were a conference champion or not.

1332
01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:33,040
Speaker 1: So for instance, last year, if they had this year's

1333
01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:37,160
Speaker 1: playoff rules last year, the top four seeds would have

1334
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:40,280
Speaker 1: all been SEC and Big Ten. It would have been

1335
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:42,280
Speaker 1: I can't remember what order, but it would have been

1336
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 1: Ohio State, Oregon, it would have been Georgia, Texas. Those

1337
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:46,800
Speaker 1: would have been the top four teams. Those teams would

1338
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:49,559
Speaker 1: have gotten the first round bys if if this year's

1339
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:52,920
Speaker 1: rules were applied to last year. I mentioned that because

1340
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:55,120
Speaker 1: start to pay attention to this too. As we get

1341
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 1: closer to the playoff and the start the rankings start

1342
01:12:57,400 --> 01:13:01,040
Speaker 1: coming out, we could be headed for a such where

1343
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 1: if the SEC and the Big ten have this death

1344
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:07,160
Speaker 1: grip on the top six, we're virtually guaranteed that they're

1345
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:09,479
Speaker 1: going to get the first round bys kind of no

1346
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:12,559
Speaker 1: matter how Conference Championship Saturday plays out, it's just who

1347
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:15,800
Speaker 1: gets switched by. I know that doesn't sound fun and

1348
01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:18,080
Speaker 1: it may not even happen, but that's something to keep

1349
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:21,479
Speaker 1: an eye on. Five SEC teams in the top ten

1350
01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:26,639
Speaker 1: is the final talking point. So we appreciate flex power

1351
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:29,439
Speaker 1: for generating that. I would now generate a little bit

1352
01:13:29,439 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 1: of a question because I know what the comments are

1353
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:33,719
Speaker 1: going to say. Sometimes I can see around the corner

1354
01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 1: on this stuff. The comments are going to say the

1355
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:41,679
Speaker 1: voters are inflating the SEC so that they can tout

1356
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:44,519
Speaker 1: how many ranked wins these SEC teams have. Like I

1357
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:47,639
Speaker 1: heard someone say that about the Alabama resume, that stats

1358
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:51,120
Speaker 1: floating around Alabama's beaten four ranked teams in a row, whatever,

1359
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:53,680
Speaker 1: And some people are saying, yeah, that's just caused the

1360
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:59,360
Speaker 1: AP inflates the SEC teams to pad the resumes. Well,

1361
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:02,599
Speaker 1: get specific, like which team are we looking at here

1362
01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:05,760
Speaker 1: that shouldn't be ranked? Which ones are we looking at

1363
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:08,320
Speaker 1: that have gotten the SEC bump that are not supposed

1364
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:12,040
Speaker 1: to be ranked by the way, twenty five, twenty four

1365
01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 1: to twenty three, Texas is the only SEC team that's

1366
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:18,439
Speaker 1: even in the twenty one to twenty five range. All

1367
01:14:18,439 --> 01:14:19,880
Speaker 1: the rest of them are ranked a lot higher than that.

1368
01:14:19,920 --> 01:14:23,240
Speaker 1: Even so, I don't know if that's your criticism, that's okay,

1369
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 1: but be specific about it. They're watching us in Paris, Texas, Athens, Alabama. Oh,

1370
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:35,720
Speaker 1: we could have gone like Florence, We could have gone Rome, Georgia. Yeah,

1371
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:39,599
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of like European style city

1372
01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:41,519
Speaker 1: names that are that are in America. But no, we

1373
01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 1: went Salt Lake City, Utah for our third city. It's okay,

1374
01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:48,559
Speaker 1: that's all right. A ton of people watching. We've got

1375
01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:51,920
Speaker 1: fifteen thousand watching live. Thank you. Make sure you subscribe.

1376
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 1: I want nothing more than to get to half a

1377
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:58,920
Speaker 1: million subscribers before Thanksgiving. That way we can celebrate it

1378
01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:02,599
Speaker 1: at Thanksgiving, perhaps even on air. No, I'm not paying

1379
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:04,840
Speaker 1: for that, all right, added takeaways, We got a lot

1380
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:07,960
Speaker 1: more to get to. I'm not going anywhere. I'm Leo

1381
01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 1: right now. I'm Wolf of Wall Street. I'm not going anywhere.

1382
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:14,839
Speaker 1: And Buddy, Neither was Texas's offense yesterday They won sixteen

1383
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 1: to thirteen at Kentucky. And that's about all I can

1384
01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:21,400
Speaker 1: say about Texas's offense. This went to overtime. This was

1385
01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:25,360
Speaker 1: predictably hideous. We don't give out negative Chali ratings, but

1386
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:28,479
Speaker 1: if we did, this would be like a negative three

1387
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 1: and a half Chili game. People paid money to sit

1388
01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:36,519
Speaker 1: through this. Now, I want to take you back to Friday.

1389
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:40,880
Speaker 1: Let's say we're we're on the eve of this game

1390
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:43,120
Speaker 1: being played and I pull out a stat sheet and

1391
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:47,599
Speaker 1: I say I've seen the future, because the Commissioner's office,

1392
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:50,519
Speaker 1: the future Commissioner's office, has that power. And I say,

1393
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:52,960
Speaker 1: let me give you the two quarterback stat lines in

1394
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 1: this game. One of them is going to be thirty

1395
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:57,840
Speaker 1: one of thirty nine for two fifty eight. One of

1396
01:15:57,880 --> 01:16:00,400
Speaker 1: them is going to be twelve of twenty seven for two.

1397
01:16:00,920 --> 01:16:05,400
Speaker 1: Your response, slash, My response is good for Arch thirty

1398
01:16:05,439 --> 01:16:09,960
Speaker 1: one of thirty nine. Solid day. Well it wasn't him,

1399
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 1: it was cutter bowling Arch and Texas's offense moved like

1400
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:18,240
Speaker 1: molasses in December. Yesterday, they got out, gained three ninety

1401
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:21,400
Speaker 1: five to one seventy nine. They got out first down

1402
01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 1: twenty six to eight, and they still won. Their only

1403
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:30,320
Speaker 1: touchdown drive was three plays in five yards rock fight,

1404
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:34,120
Speaker 1: but they won cause defense travels. So there you go.

1405
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:36,479
Speaker 1: They were favored by twelve and a half, they scored

1406
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 1: sixteen and they needed over time to do it. That's

1407
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:43,439
Speaker 1: not a playoff team right now, and it's not early

1408
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:45,400
Speaker 1: in the season. I don't know what to say. That's

1409
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:48,799
Speaker 1: not a playoff team right now. We move on. Texas

1410
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 1: Tech has fallen Arizona State twenty six Texas Tech twenty two.

1411
01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 1: The Big twelves kind of back to life a little bit.

1412
01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:58,880
Speaker 1: Texas Tech was running away with this thing, and Sam

1413
01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:00,800
Speaker 1: Levitt kind of goes off off on him a little bit,

1414
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:04,160
Speaker 1: three hundred nineteen yards in a touchdown. I never expected

1415
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:07,160
Speaker 1: Texas Tech's leading rusher to be Will Hammond, but he

1416
01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:12,120
Speaker 1: was backup quarterback by the way he started for him. Maybe,

1417
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:15,160
Speaker 1: you know, maybe this is a situation where we get

1418
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 1: a rematch in Arlington at the very least, Like if

1419
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:20,800
Speaker 1: you look at the odds in the Big Twelve right now,

1420
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:24,559
Speaker 1: of course, Brigham Young's the one that's undefeated, like they're

1421
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:27,680
Speaker 1: atop the standings. Cincinnati's the only other team in the

1422
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:31,080
Speaker 1: Big Twelve, by the way, that's undefeated in league play. Again,

1423
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:34,559
Speaker 1: Brigham Young in Cincinnati the only teams that are undefeated

1424
01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:37,040
Speaker 1: in league play. But Texas Tech is still favored at

1425
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:39,240
Speaker 1: FanDuel to win the league. It's just that it got

1426
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:43,040
Speaker 1: a little more compacted now in Arizona State's number two.

1427
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 1: So those teams that played yesterday, they're the favorites in

1428
01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:49,439
Speaker 1: the odds market right now to face off again rematch style.

1429
01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:52,679
Speaker 1: We assume Baron Morton would be back at quarterback. Come

1430
01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:57,440
Speaker 1: a Big twelve championships Saturday. But good for Kenny Dillingham.

1431
01:17:57,840 --> 01:18:01,120
Speaker 1: They needed that one bad good for them. Next up

1432
01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:03,080
Speaker 1: we stay in the Big twelve for a second. Brigham

1433
01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:07,479
Speaker 1: Young has done it. They have beaten Utah. And I

1434
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 1: was called a coward, and I was told in no

1435
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:15,120
Speaker 1: uncertain terms to face Brigham Young. Someone called me a

1436
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:18,000
Speaker 1: coward and said, look Brigham Young in the eyes on

1437
01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:22,400
Speaker 1: the show tonight Bradley Camera two. I am looking Brigham

1438
01:18:22,439 --> 01:18:26,240
Speaker 1: Young in the eyes. Not the literal dude, American prime

1439
01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:30,479
Speaker 1: evils a tough watch, by the way, not literal Brigham Young,

1440
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 1: but the entire university and the roster and the coaching staff.

1441
01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:38,960
Speaker 1: And I got to say, hat tip, hat tip, great

1442
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 1: job yesterday. This was the moment of legitimacy for this team,

1443
01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:46,880
Speaker 1: not the program. Not Callinacyitaki. They've long since announced their

1444
01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:50,120
Speaker 1: arrival to the college football world. But I don't think

1445
01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:53,040
Speaker 1: through any fault of my own. Myself and a lot

1446
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:55,639
Speaker 1: of people looked at that lineup of games so far

1447
01:18:56,640 --> 01:18:58,960
Speaker 1: and said, yeah, the Utah game will show us if

1448
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:01,880
Speaker 1: you're for real. They ran it for two hundred they're

1449
01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 1: for real. Padlock stat by the way, they held the

1450
01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:06,720
Speaker 1: Utah to They held Utah to one to five on

1451
01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 1: fourth down. And now they go to Iowa State this week.

1452
01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:12,479
Speaker 1: It's always going to be a dangerous game. Iowa State's

1453
01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 1: coming off a bye. Who knows, I may end up

1454
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 1: picking Iowa State. So at this point I don't think

1455
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:19,320
Speaker 1: bring them on once you picking them anyway. But yeah,

1456
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:21,800
Speaker 1: they got the job done. They are still undefeated and

1457
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:23,880
Speaker 1: on they roll. They have to play Iowa State, they

1458
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:28,160
Speaker 1: got to play Texas Tech, TCU, Cincinnati. It's a very

1459
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:32,439
Speaker 1: backloaded schedule, but see Utah was part of that backloaded schedule,

1460
01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:34,720
Speaker 1: and they already won one of those games. So let's

1461
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:38,639
Speaker 1: see if they can keep it rolling. Next up, Texas

1462
01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:40,880
Speaker 1: A and M needed forty five to beat Arkansas. There

1463
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:44,600
Speaker 1: were over one thousand total yards in this game. A

1464
01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:46,600
Speaker 1: and M's needed to do that twice this year. The

1465
01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:49,160
Speaker 1: Notre Dame game they needed it, disem they needed it.

1466
01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:51,439
Speaker 1: Then they won a couple of slugfest in the meantime,

1467
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:53,320
Speaker 1: so they've won a ton of different ways this year.

1468
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:57,839
Speaker 1: Look credit Texas A and M. I'm telling you, Arkansas

1469
01:19:57,920 --> 01:20:00,479
Speaker 1: is a very dangerous team to play right now, I

1470
01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:03,240
Speaker 1: am watching them most of America's not watching them. They

1471
01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:07,120
Speaker 1: already fired their head coach. But see the performance is upgraded.

1472
01:20:08,439 --> 01:20:11,719
Speaker 1: So Bobby Petrino is just empty in the chamber right now.

1473
01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:14,479
Speaker 1: There are conspiracy theories that he kind of bottled all

1474
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:16,240
Speaker 1: this up to wait until he got the interim tag

1475
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:18,719
Speaker 1: and now he's unloading and whatever. That would just add

1476
01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:21,080
Speaker 1: to the lore of Bobby Patrino. But they're a dangerous

1477
01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:23,920
Speaker 1: team right now. They're not good, like their record's bad.

1478
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:27,840
Speaker 1: But if you're just watching them, you could pretend Arkansas's

1479
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 1: six and one and the performance would make sense. They

1480
01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:32,439
Speaker 1: took Tennessee to the wire. They just took A and

1481
01:20:32,560 --> 01:20:35,000
Speaker 1: M to the wire. Hugh Freese and Auburn have to

1482
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:38,559
Speaker 1: go play them Saturday in Fayetnam because they don't call

1483
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:42,160
Speaker 1: it Fayettville. They call it Fayetnam around Auburn, Alabama and

1484
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:46,320
Speaker 1: the Angel of Death. Bobby Patrino has the following options

1485
01:20:46,360 --> 01:20:49,439
Speaker 1: in his future. He's got Auburn this Saturday. He could

1486
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:52,479
Speaker 1: run Hugh Freeze out of town. Then he's got Mississippi State.

1487
01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:56,640
Speaker 1: They go to LSU. He could end up spelling the

1488
01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:59,680
Speaker 1: end for Brian Kelly. He goes to Texas. He can

1489
01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:02,439
Speaker 1: not Texas out of the playoff picture. He's got Missouri

1490
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:03,600
Speaker 1: at the end of the year. He could do the

1491
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:09,040
Speaker 1: same thing with Missouri. Bobby Petrino could completely obliterate the

1492
01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:16,200
Speaker 1: entire landscape of the SEC again. Crazy. Next up, I

1493
01:21:16,240 --> 01:21:18,600
Speaker 1: think if you look at on my finger, you you

1494
01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:20,600
Speaker 1: kind of know normally when I've got to post it

1495
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:24,080
Speaker 1: on my finger, it's not a good thing. Minnesota beat

1496
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 1: Nebraska Friday night, twenty four to six. Twenty four to six.

1497
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:31,960
Speaker 1: We heard Matt Rule's name, Matt Rule's name. That was

1498
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:35,200
Speaker 1: the chorus throughout all of last week, Matt Rule and

1499
01:21:35,240 --> 01:21:37,360
Speaker 1: the Penn State job. And then the only course we

1500
01:21:37,439 --> 01:21:41,960
Speaker 1: get after Minnesota Blank's Nebraska is the fact that they

1501
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:47,080
Speaker 1: are the Sarah McLaughlin Special. Twenty nine rushes for thirty

1502
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:51,280
Speaker 1: six yards. That's what Nebraska managed on the road against PJ.

1503
01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:56,040
Speaker 1: Fleck and Company. Dylan Ryola sacked eight times, no nine times.

1504
01:21:57,120 --> 01:22:01,960
Speaker 1: Darius Taylor alone out rushed Nebra by about four hundred percent.

1505
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:05,920
Speaker 1: Nebraska held to three of twelve on third down. The

1506
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:10,120
Speaker 1: drive chart is so sad three and out field goal

1507
01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:12,479
Speaker 1: three and out field goal. This is where it goes

1508
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:18,799
Speaker 1: downhill it's halftime punt, three and out, punt, turnover on downs,

1509
01:22:19,080 --> 01:22:21,880
Speaker 1: and that's it. A game you gotta have on the road.

1510
01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:25,519
Speaker 1: That That's pretty much it, as me Mal would have

1511
01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:28,200
Speaker 1: put it had she been around to watch this game.

1512
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:34,000
Speaker 1: They rowed the boat right down their throat. Nebraska inexplicably,

1513
01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:40,360
Speaker 1: unexpectedly goes from my playoff bracket to this week's Sarah

1514
01:22:40,439 --> 01:22:44,840
Speaker 1: McLaughlin special. This game deserves not another second of talk

1515
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:50,160
Speaker 1: except to say congratulations to Minnesota. Congratulations. Anytime you deal

1516
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:53,639
Speaker 1: out the Sarah McLaughlin special, you deserve congrats. Oklahoma beat

1517
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:57,040
Speaker 1: South Carolina twenty six to seven, and the one question

1518
01:22:57,439 --> 01:23:01,600
Speaker 1: on every American's mind is is October canceled? And to

1519
01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:04,559
Speaker 1: that I say probably, but not definitely, because that's the

1520
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:07,360
Speaker 1: thing about October. It's like a bear attack. It sneaks

1521
01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 1: up on you when you least suspect it. So watch

1522
01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:15,519
Speaker 1: out this Saturday, Alabama, Oklahoma had one hundred yard rusher. Huh.

1523
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:19,400
Speaker 1: That's great news. Unexpected news, but great news. John Mattier

1524
01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:22,800
Speaker 1: was enough. I was worried about this game for Oklahoma. Okay,

1525
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:25,720
Speaker 1: so twenty six to seven. To have breathing room, that's

1526
01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:29,559
Speaker 1: a great thing. For them South Carolina. The spring fears

1527
01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:32,760
Speaker 1: have been realized. All the stuff that I was scared of.

1528
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:35,959
Speaker 1: There was not enough depth in the wide receiver rooms.

1529
01:23:36,120 --> 01:23:38,599
Speaker 1: Sellers was going to have to do it himself. Defense

1530
01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:42,080
Speaker 1: of the regression was almost imminent. Yeah, it's all there.

1531
01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:47,240
Speaker 1: Sellers was sacked six times yesterday and that's just not

1532
01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:50,280
Speaker 1: fun noise, just not a fun vibe around the program

1533
01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:52,840
Speaker 1: right now. That was kind of the one like if

1534
01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:55,360
Speaker 1: they were going to pull the nose up on the season,

1535
01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:57,479
Speaker 1: that was taking a dive. That was the game they

1536
01:23:57,560 --> 01:24:00,920
Speaker 1: kind of had to have. And this season just keeps diving.

1537
01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:03,800
Speaker 1: It just keeps diving. Let me take one more sip

1538
01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:05,519
Speaker 1: of water, right quick. I had to yell a lot

1539
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:10,639
Speaker 1: yesterday to be heard. So we got a we got

1540
01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:14,120
Speaker 1: to make sure we moisturize the vocal cords because we're

1541
01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:16,880
Speaker 1: doing so far, so good this year. Normally I've lost

1542
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:23,680
Speaker 1: my voice by now, Jesse, I know, I know what

1543
01:24:23,720 --> 01:24:27,600
Speaker 1: I have in front of me. Okay, So you know

1544
01:24:27,680 --> 01:24:30,920
Speaker 1: two weeks ago when I came on air and I said,

1545
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:34,400
Speaker 1: it has occurred to me via Savannah State that a

1546
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 1: lot of you have babies bebez as she would call them,

1547
01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:41,160
Speaker 1: and they need clothes, and we're all about clothing children

1548
01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:45,400
Speaker 1: around here through the Pate State Store. And I said, hey,

1549
01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:49,360
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about baby outfits, but we are

1550
01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:51,680
Speaker 1: putting them in the Peate State store. And so we

1551
01:24:51,720 --> 01:24:55,120
Speaker 1: got Little Freights, the Peate State Little Frights collection, and

1552
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:57,800
Speaker 1: we put some Onesies in there, and then I went

1553
01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:00,680
Speaker 1: to sleep, and I woke up and it was our bestseller.

1554
01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:04,560
Speaker 1: And now some of you have ordered these shirts and

1555
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:07,360
Speaker 1: these onesies, and they have arrived, and you're starting to

1556
01:25:07,400 --> 01:25:11,519
Speaker 1: send us pictures of your children wearing the Little Freight's merchandise. Now, firstly,

1557
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:15,320
Speaker 1: always put an emoji over your kid's face, because we

1558
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:18,760
Speaker 1: don't want to be showing the children's faces and so

1559
01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:22,000
Speaker 1: protect the anonymity, and therefore we can show it on air.

1560
01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:25,040
Speaker 1: Look at this. Do you know how many pictures we're

1561
01:25:25,080 --> 01:25:27,200
Speaker 1: getting like this? That was just one of them, But

1562
01:25:27,280 --> 01:25:30,040
Speaker 1: that's a little animated baby that we made for the advertisement.

1563
01:25:30,240 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 1: These are real babies or bedbees. So we appreciate it.

1564
01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:36,160
Speaker 1: And I would also highly encourage you not just to

1565
01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:39,200
Speaker 1: check out the Onesies, but that shirt. I should have

1566
01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:41,760
Speaker 1: brought it in. Alex sent me some samples. I don't

1567
01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:44,479
Speaker 1: fit in them. But she sent me some samples. That

1568
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:47,640
Speaker 1: white T shirt we have that says nap time not

1569
01:25:47,720 --> 01:25:51,320
Speaker 1: on third down is great. Some are calling it the

1570
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:56,120
Speaker 1: best infant what do we call it, jesse, just like infantwear,

1571
01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:59,439
Speaker 1: some of the best infantware of the modern age. Not

1572
01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:05,600
Speaker 1: my words, sources, sources say, let's continue one of what

1573
01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:10,479
Speaker 1: sources say about this. I have like a billion dms

1574
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:14,439
Speaker 1: right now and emails and questions about Hugh Freeze and Auburn,

1575
01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 1: and the answer is it's not going great. I believe

1576
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:20,599
Speaker 1: Auburn's gonna end up moving on from Hugh Freeze. They

1577
01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:23,960
Speaker 1: lost to Missouri in overtime last night. Now, what's stupid

1578
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:27,479
Speaker 1: about college football is there are people who will allow

1579
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:29,559
Speaker 1: their opinion of a coach to swing over the span

1580
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:33,519
Speaker 1: of four quarters, like last night, had Auburn hit a

1581
01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:37,000
Speaker 1: game winning field goal instead of Missouri scoring in overtime.

1582
01:26:37,320 --> 01:26:39,680
Speaker 1: There are people who would say, Hugh Freeze is he's

1583
01:26:39,720 --> 01:26:42,440
Speaker 1: okay and he's won like one or two botched officiating

1584
01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:45,840
Speaker 1: decisions from being like six and one or something like that.

1585
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:49,960
Speaker 1: But since they lost last night, that same person says

1586
01:26:50,040 --> 01:26:52,760
Speaker 1: fire him. Well, he's either qualified for the job or

1587
01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:55,040
Speaker 1: he's not. He's either good enough for the job or

1588
01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:59,200
Speaker 1: he's not. And I questioned a couple of things here specifically,

1589
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:04,120
Speaker 1: So I question what Hugh Freeze is questioning because I

1590
01:27:04,200 --> 01:27:06,280
Speaker 1: keep listening to him and I want to give him

1591
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:08,000
Speaker 1: every benefit of the doubt, because I really want Hugh

1592
01:27:08,040 --> 01:27:11,439
Speaker 1: Freeze to win at Auburn because Michael Bratton flat out

1593
01:27:11,439 --> 01:27:13,559
Speaker 1: said Hugh Freese was going to fail two years ago,

1594
01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:18,519
Speaker 1: and I adamantly defended Freeze. And this is going to

1595
01:27:18,520 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 1: be a loss for me. I think it's going to

1596
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:22,400
Speaker 1: be a win for SEC Mike. It's going to be

1597
01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:24,719
Speaker 1: a loss for Peate State. So we got to schedule

1598
01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:26,160
Speaker 1: a home at home so I can get my get

1599
01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:28,280
Speaker 1: back because I think I'm going to lose on Hugh Freeze.

1600
01:27:29,360 --> 01:27:32,880
Speaker 1: Hugh Freeze keeps questioning the mentality of his team and

1601
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:37,240
Speaker 1: questioning the toughness and questioning the quarterback and the decision making,

1602
01:27:37,360 --> 01:27:40,240
Speaker 1: and it sounds like a guy who just inherited a

1603
01:27:40,280 --> 01:27:43,559
Speaker 1: team and he's in year one. I'm listening to it,

1604
01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:48,360
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, don't you control all this? The mentality

1605
01:27:48,400 --> 01:27:53,120
Speaker 1: of the team, it's your team, it's your organization, Just

1606
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:55,960
Speaker 1: the attitude of a team and the mentality of a

1607
01:27:56,000 --> 01:28:00,120
Speaker 1: team and the roster not, in an ideal world, reflect

1608
01:27:59,880 --> 01:28:02,599
Speaker 1: that of its head coach. So again, if we're in

1609
01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:05,320
Speaker 1: the first year and you're coaching someone else's guys, Like

1610
01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:07,880
Speaker 1: if it's Debor last year and he were to have

1611
01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:12,440
Speaker 1: inherited a mess from Saban, he'd have reason. You inherited

1612
01:28:12,479 --> 01:28:15,920
Speaker 1: a mess from Brian Harson. You had reason to say

1613
01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:19,440
Speaker 1: that in year one or year two. This is year three.

1614
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:22,000
Speaker 1: And in case you don't take my word for it,

1615
01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:25,360
Speaker 1: take your own words for it. Hugh Freeze rolled into

1616
01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:28,240
Speaker 1: Atlanta for SEC media Days and just flat out said

1617
01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:31,679
Speaker 1: the expectations for us, we should be expected to contend

1618
01:28:31,720 --> 01:28:35,519
Speaker 1: for the college football playoff. He said it voluntarily. I

1619
01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:39,360
Speaker 1: was sitting right there with kublick I said, wow, credit

1620
01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:41,920
Speaker 1: him for being honest about that. But man is not

1621
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:43,600
Speaker 1: going to get thrown back in his face if it

1622
01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:46,679
Speaker 1: goes sideways this year. And we weren't hearing good things

1623
01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:50,320
Speaker 1: in fall camp, and you watch Jackson Arnold play now

1624
01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:53,599
Speaker 1: and you listen to what Hugh free says on the record,

1625
01:28:53,680 --> 01:28:56,360
Speaker 1: you get the behind the scenes stuff, and they're so

1626
01:28:56,520 --> 01:28:59,880
Speaker 1: unhappy with it, and I'm like, you picked him. You

1627
01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:02,200
Speaker 1: went and got him because you hadn't developed one of

1628
01:29:02,200 --> 01:29:05,880
Speaker 1: your own in house. You got him, And don't be

1629
01:29:05,960 --> 01:29:09,439
Speaker 1: telling me there was no one available, dude. Fran Brown

1630
01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:15,439
Speaker 1: went and got Angelli and Mendoza landed at Indiana. Auburn

1631
01:29:15,479 --> 01:29:18,559
Speaker 1: could have had those kids. They chose Jackson Arnold, They

1632
01:29:18,680 --> 01:29:22,479
Speaker 1: chose wrong. You got a mentally weak team. Those are

1633
01:29:22,479 --> 01:29:25,760
Speaker 1: paraphrased words. Hugh Freeze hasn't outright said that, but he's

1634
01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:29,840
Speaker 1: questioned several different aspects that make me say, if you

1635
01:29:29,920 --> 01:29:33,520
Speaker 1: can't solve those If you can't, if you're Hugh Freeze,

1636
01:29:34,240 --> 01:29:37,040
Speaker 1: multi year head coach at Auburn and the mentality of

1637
01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:41,120
Speaker 1: the team sucks and they're mentally weak and they can't

1638
01:29:41,160 --> 01:29:44,160
Speaker 1: finish games, they can't find ways to win, and the

1639
01:29:44,240 --> 01:29:48,240
Speaker 1: quarterback positions a disaster. Well, if you can't solve that stuff,

1640
01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:50,439
Speaker 1: what are you my head coach for? And I think

1641
01:29:50,439 --> 01:29:52,599
Speaker 1: a lot of Auburn fans feel that way, and they

1642
01:29:52,600 --> 01:29:56,400
Speaker 1: should feel that way. This is again, the third year,

1643
01:29:57,000 --> 01:30:00,280
Speaker 1: not the first year, not even the second year. I,

1644
01:30:00,479 --> 01:30:03,599
Speaker 1: more than anyone, was willing to grant him a grace period.

1645
01:30:03,880 --> 01:30:08,040
Speaker 1: I used this microphone several times to say, you need

1646
01:30:08,040 --> 01:30:11,120
Speaker 1: to respect the rebuild that they've got on their hands

1647
01:30:11,160 --> 01:30:14,800
Speaker 1: down there. This is not Caylin de boor inheriting Alabama.

1648
01:30:15,080 --> 01:30:17,960
Speaker 1: This is the antithesis of that. This is the total

1649
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:20,960
Speaker 1: inverse of that. I've had other coaches telling me, Hey,

1650
01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:23,240
Speaker 1: that job Hughes got to do at Auburn, that's going

1651
01:30:23,320 --> 01:30:25,320
Speaker 1: to take a couple of years. I fully respected that.

1652
01:30:25,840 --> 01:30:28,960
Speaker 1: It's your three, it's your three, and that's not working.

1653
01:30:29,120 --> 01:30:31,840
Speaker 1: And I also I'd say the same thing here that

1654
01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:34,080
Speaker 1: I said about Florida State, like what am I building towards?

1655
01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:37,200
Speaker 1: What's the future now? Unlike Florida State, they've recruited well,

1656
01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:41,080
Speaker 1: They've recruited very well. So like, I'm not willing to

1657
01:30:41,680 --> 01:30:46,040
Speaker 1: punt on the talent roster there. I still look, I've

1658
01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:49,000
Speaker 1: got places down deep here where I still believe Hugh

1659
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:51,360
Speaker 1: can get it done. But it doesn't matter what I believe.

1660
01:30:51,400 --> 01:30:56,160
Speaker 1: It matters what's happening. The results are what matter. And

1661
01:30:56,200 --> 01:31:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm not sure they're done losing this year. And that's

1662
01:31:01,040 --> 01:31:04,320
Speaker 1: in a vacuum. Here's what else we know. What else

1663
01:31:04,400 --> 01:31:07,080
Speaker 1: we know is there's a guy by the name of

1664
01:31:07,160 --> 01:31:11,120
Speaker 1: John Sumraw just sitting it tu Lane, who I think

1665
01:31:11,160 --> 01:31:13,680
Speaker 1: would take this job. And who I think would kill

1666
01:31:13,720 --> 01:31:16,439
Speaker 1: it here. And so as much as I say the

1667
01:31:16,479 --> 01:31:19,840
Speaker 1: Florida search probably begins and ends with Lane Kiffin, like

1668
01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:21,360
Speaker 1: you got to find out is he going to take

1669
01:31:21,400 --> 01:31:24,599
Speaker 1: the job. There's no need to overthink the room here either.

1670
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:27,400
Speaker 1: Like John Somerrow is going to get a major job,

1671
01:31:27,560 --> 01:31:29,519
Speaker 1: whether it's the Auburn job and he wins at Auburn

1672
01:31:29,600 --> 01:31:31,880
Speaker 1: or whether it's another job and he beats Auburn for

1673
01:31:31,920 --> 01:31:34,000
Speaker 1: a long time, He's going to get a big job somewhere.

1674
01:31:34,320 --> 01:31:36,280
Speaker 1: And if I'm an Auburn fan, I'm sitting there. On

1675
01:31:36,280 --> 01:31:38,320
Speaker 1: one hand, I'm just thinking about what I feel about

1676
01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:41,439
Speaker 1: my program right now. But if you didn't like the

1677
01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:44,479
Speaker 1: job Hugh Freeze was doing, but there was no other

1678
01:31:44,600 --> 01:31:47,960
Speaker 1: qualified candidate out there, you'd say, we're kind of stuck

1679
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:49,559
Speaker 1: with this for a little while. Let's give it some time,

1680
01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:52,120
Speaker 1: let's see how it plays out. But there are quality

1681
01:31:52,200 --> 01:31:55,160
Speaker 1: candidates out there. And that's the whole flip side of it.

1682
01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:57,240
Speaker 1: It's all right, I don't like what I don't like

1683
01:31:57,280 --> 01:31:59,519
Speaker 1: what this says, and then I flip this over and

1684
01:31:59,560 --> 01:32:02,439
Speaker 1: I love of what that potentially could mean for me.

1685
01:32:03,200 --> 01:32:07,599
Speaker 1: So that's the great catwalk that we're balancing on right now.

1686
01:32:07,920 --> 01:32:12,080
Speaker 1: They go to Arkansas this Saturday, and I'm a believer

1687
01:32:12,240 --> 01:32:15,680
Speaker 1: that yesterday kind of sealed Hugh Freeze's fate, but we

1688
01:32:15,760 --> 01:32:19,200
Speaker 1: didn't see any action today. I don't expect any action

1689
01:32:19,439 --> 01:32:24,120
Speaker 1: on Monday, which is tomorrow as we're live. If it

1690
01:32:24,160 --> 01:32:29,200
Speaker 1: goes south at Arkansas, I would expect action immediately. That's

1691
01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:32,720
Speaker 1: the in til I've gotten. I think we've done more

1692
01:32:32,760 --> 01:32:35,280
Speaker 1: hot seat talk on this one show tonight than I've

1693
01:32:35,280 --> 01:32:38,599
Speaker 1: done in the entire past year combined. But we made

1694
01:32:38,600 --> 01:32:41,080
Speaker 1: a decision as a staff a few weeks ago that

1695
01:32:41,200 --> 01:32:42,840
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to cheer for this stuff, but I

1696
01:32:42,880 --> 01:32:44,719
Speaker 1: was going to shoot you straight on what I'm hearing

1697
01:32:45,200 --> 01:32:48,200
Speaker 1: because we knew a very historic coaching carousel season was

1698
01:32:48,240 --> 01:32:51,120
Speaker 1: at hand. This is what I'm hearing about the Auburn job.

1699
01:32:52,160 --> 01:32:57,000
Speaker 1: I think that everything's on the line without Arkansas game Saturday.

1700
01:32:57,600 --> 01:33:00,559
Speaker 1: I don't agree with that particular approach, because if a

1701
01:33:00,560 --> 01:33:03,120
Speaker 1: guy is the wrong guy for your job, he's the

1702
01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:05,519
Speaker 1: wrong guy before that game kicks off, and if he's

1703
01:33:05,560 --> 01:33:08,599
Speaker 1: the right guy for your job, four quarters of football

1704
01:33:08,600 --> 01:33:10,839
Speaker 1: doesn't change that. So I never agree with that approach.

1705
01:33:10,920 --> 01:33:13,280
Speaker 1: But I think that's kind of where we are. We

1706
01:33:13,280 --> 01:33:16,519
Speaker 1: don't have odds on this, thankfully, but FanDuel does have

1707
01:33:16,560 --> 01:33:18,719
Speaker 1: odds on everything else. Because they are the exclusive odds

Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna put the Romandel Express where my mouth is.

1738
01:34:48,080 --> 01:34:50,559
Speaker 1: Week nine is upon it. By the way, Romandel Express

1739
01:34:50,560 --> 01:34:53,240
Speaker 1: sucked yesterday. I think we were four and hold on,

1740
01:34:53,600 --> 01:35:00,320
Speaker 1: let me see what we were We were yesterday one, two, three,

1741
01:35:00,479 --> 01:35:04,880
Speaker 1: four and seven our worst day of the season, but

1742
01:35:05,120 --> 01:35:07,200
Speaker 1: we had had winning weeks the last two weeks, so

1743
01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:09,960
Speaker 1: we're still above five hundred. We still have a winning

1744
01:35:10,439 --> 01:35:13,400
Speaker 1: winning year. But we need to roll this week. And

1745
01:35:13,479 --> 01:35:16,760
Speaker 1: here's where we're gonna start as of now, and I

1746
01:35:16,800 --> 01:35:19,920
Speaker 1: expect it to change. Arkansas is plus one and a

1747
01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:23,519
Speaker 1: half at home against Auburn. Arkansas will beat Auburn Saturday,

1748
01:35:24,080 --> 01:35:26,519
Speaker 1: So I'm taking any points you give me. Frankly, I

1749
01:35:26,520 --> 01:35:30,240
Speaker 1: would lay points with Arkansas. This is Bobby Petrino's game.

1750
01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:33,200
Speaker 1: This is not Hugh Freeese's game. This is an eleven

1751
01:35:33,240 --> 01:35:36,120
Speaker 1: am kickoff for the Auburn Tigers in Northwest Arkansas. It

1752
01:35:36,160 --> 01:35:38,719
Speaker 1: couldn't be set up any worse. Give me Arkansas plus

1753
01:35:38,720 --> 01:35:41,000
Speaker 1: one and a half. Give me Arkansas on money line.

1754
01:35:41,080 --> 01:35:43,760
Speaker 1: I'll take it. That's our first, but not last, best

1755
01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:46,559
Speaker 1: bet of the week. Okay, hour thirty four I thought

1756
01:35:46,600 --> 01:35:49,080
Speaker 1: was a pretty pretty succinct amount of time to get

1757
01:35:49,120 --> 01:35:50,960
Speaker 1: what we got in on the show tonight. Make sure

1758
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:54,320
Speaker 1: you subscribed, and if you've got friends out there, make

1759
01:35:54,360 --> 01:35:56,479
Speaker 1: sure you spread the word about the show. But even

1760
01:35:56,520 --> 01:35:58,160
Speaker 1: if they don't want to watch, just take their phone

1761
01:35:58,160 --> 01:36:00,920
Speaker 1: and make sure they subscribe. That's it. That's all that

1762
01:36:00,920 --> 01:36:04,080
Speaker 1: That helps us more than anything that you could possibly imagine.

1763
01:36:04,439 --> 01:36:07,200
Speaker 1: So we appreciate you, guys. We'll be back Tuesday. Full

Speaker 1: game predictions for week nine, and who knows what else

1765
01:36:11,120 --> 01:36:13,479
Speaker 1: could happen between now and then on the coaching front,

1766
01:36:13,920 --> 01:36:15,960
Speaker 1: but we'll be watching it, we'll be following it all.
