1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal hell that for me. I'm

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: a man, I'm for I've heard so many players say, well,

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: I want to be happy. You want to be happy

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: for a day? Edo State is that?

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 2: Whoo whoo?

6
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: And them and tie.

7
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the show, one and all today, Dan,

8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 2: I believe her. We like tour guides today. What exactly

9
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 2: what exactly?

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: Sort of this is a throwback. I guess this is

11
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: like we are college football tour guides, which is what

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: I called myself in the the mid hots something like that. Uh,

13
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: that's how I got my start. Yes, college football tour

14
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: guides or welcoming committees, or we're sort of proxy welcoming committees.

15
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: Because I can't in earnest tell you what to do

16
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: in Waco, I can't in earnest tell you what to

17
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: do in Orlando. Or I'm not an expert on any

18
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: one team. Some might even say not an expert on

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: even Oregon. But we're going to do our best with

20
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: the help of listeners. Chiming in to prepare teams entering

21
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: into new power conferences, to prepare them for their schedule.

22
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: Just sort of a rough outline of you know, recent history,

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: maybe a recent matchup, a non conference or bowl matchup

24
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: you've had with a new team on your conference slate.

25
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: Maybe something to expect in the stadium, something to expect

26
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: in that college town, something to expect with visiting fans

27
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: to your home stadium. So we've done schedule previews in

28
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: the past, this is more of a preview of your

29
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: new life. How about that.

30
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: That's exactly right, Welcome to your new life. We've got

31
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: teams all across college football joining new conferences. Obviously the

32
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: Pac twelve dissols most of those teams, sorry, Washington State,

33
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: Oregon State, most of the teams have gone elsewhere. And

34
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: as they enter their new conference. We've got a collection

35
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: of suggestions here from the verballer hood and also some

36
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: of our own research, things that participant in a new

37
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: conference should know as you're going to, as you said,

38
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: a new place. We will welcome you as best we

39
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 2: can to your new life. Look, it's June. As we

40
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: get into July, which is I guess next week already,

41
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: which is wild, it's already here. As we get into July,

42
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: we'll start doing previews. We'll dive a little bit deeper

43
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: into these specific conferences, your specific teams give you things

44
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: that you should be mindful of some of our predictions.

45
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 2: You know how it works. At this point, that'll be

46
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 2: through the month of July and into the early part

47
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 2: of August.

48
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: Don't don't apologize for it being June. June is wonderful time.

49
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm not apologizing. I can't believe that it's almost over.

50
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: That's my knowin. You're right, I just I did a

51
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: lot of learning today. I learned about the USS Indiana

52
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: and the chunks of a battleship outside of the stadium

53
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: in Indiana and Bloomington. So this gets me going.

54
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: There are a lot of exciting things here that maybe

55
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: you knew, maybe you didn't bookmark the episode. This is

56
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: good water cooler fodder if you want to act as

57
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: if you're smart about some teams that maybe you didn't

58
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 2: know enough about. Maybe you're just joining a new conference,

59
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: maybe your team's already in the conference. We put nose

60
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: to the grindstone here. As you said, we didn't go

61
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 2: full Lexus Nexus and dig very deeply right into the

62
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: histories and story traditions to some of these programs and conferences.

63
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 2: But I think you're going to enjoy some of the

64
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: nuggets that we bring out here today, I always hope.

65
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: So, yeah, we'll talk about what these teams have done

66
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: on the field recently, if there is that crossover history

67
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: that's already existed, Like Texas is playing at Arkansas and

68
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: they lost by nineteen there a few years ago. I

69
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: think that's what got Hudson card benched for Casey Thompson,

70
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: who is now on his ninth FBS. At least, yeah,

71
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: at least I hope he has a you know, a

72
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: nice end to his career as a I guess the

73
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 1: Oklahoma backup. But yeah, there's all sorts of stuff that's

74
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: that connects everything. So look, here's the deal Overballers going

96
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: something that we could roll with. I don't think we

97
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: did a custom sound for this one, but I feel

98
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: like as we're welcoming, as we're being this welcoming committee,

99
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 2: we need we need something.

100
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean we're gonna have college football fans

101
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: finding themselves in new places, both as a fan and geographically,

102
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: So why not where that works for me? That works great,

103
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: that's perfect. I forgot about that one. It's quick, it's snappy,

104
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: it's obviously recognized. We're a couple of angels, you know,

105
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: spewing over the airwaves. We're good, bet I like that. Yeah.

106
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: The question that we put out on Twitter, I was

107
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: obviously blink continue, was.

108
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: If you are on a conference welcoming committee, what do

109
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: fans of teams new to your conference need to know?

110
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 2: Can be about any teams, coaches, players, stadiums, other fans,

111
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 2: history or whatever. I have had, at least on just

112
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 2: a personal level, a really strong interest over the last

113
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: couple of years in weird college football traditions.

114
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: Right, and so I went through.

115
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: An iMIND for some of my favorites that I think

116
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 2: are meaningful if you are a fan.

117
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: Of a team joining a new conference. So I've got

118
00:05:59,080 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: some of those.

119
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: I know you went in a slightly different direction, but

120
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: also paid homage to some of those items as well.

121
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 2: Where should we start here as our conference welcoming committee episode?

122
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,679
Speaker 1: Let's go Let's go SEC? I just mentioned Texas Arkansas,

123
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: So let's go there.

124
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, dude, the SEC, the South as a whole,

125
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: but the SEC in particular has the weirdest college football traditions.

126
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 2: And you've heard me say it on this show a

127
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:34,559
Speaker 2: million times by now bar none. These traditions start either

128
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 2: by somebody who had a good idea at the time,

129
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: and everybody just kind of went with it, or it's

130
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 2: one of those deals where it's just something that happened accidentally.

131
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 2: Nobody was planning anything, wasn't a good idea that there

132
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 2: wasn't an idea at all. It just it was a

133
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: random thing that happened, and then people got superstitious and

134
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 2: went with it. All these things start without question. Okay,

135
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 2: So when you mentioned the SEC, Auburn comes to mind

136
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 2: as having the goofy ish traditions. And when I say goofy,

137
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 2: believe me, I mean that as a compliment, not as

138
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: a pejorative. It's just they all have very very strange origins.

139
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 2: And the one that comes to mind, and I bring

140
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 2: this up because Oklahoma, I think this year goes to Auburn.

141
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: They do. Yeah, between Tennessee and Texas. Yeah, like week

142
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: five of the season.

143
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: This is notable for Oklahoma fans, for Texas fans just

144
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: joining the SEC, maybe just fans as a whole who

145
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 2: are interested in some of these goofy things that I mentioned.

146
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: But you've heard Wardamn Eagle, just war Eagle, very big

147
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: deal started in case you're interested in the origin story,

148
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: way back in the late eighteen hundreds, when a Civil

149
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 2: War VET brought his pet eagle with him to a game,

150
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 2: as you do against Georgia. All right, So, as the

151
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: story goes, dude brings his pet eagle, The eagle gets loose,

152
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: it starts circling the field right as Auburn is driving

153
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: the field and ends up beating Georgia. And as it's circling,

154
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: everybody in the crowd is chanting war.

155
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: Eagle, War eagle, War eagle.

156
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: Right, Auburn wins the game as a means of like superstition,

157
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: as I would probably do. War eagle Wardamn eagle becomes

158
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: a thing moving forward from that point, so dates back

159
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: to eighteen ninety two. If you're curious where does war

160
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: eagle come from, it's from the dude with the pet

161
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 2: eagle that got loose and circled the field. Is Auburn

162
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: bea Georgia? I appreciate that, and look that one to

163
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: memory if you're interesting committed to memory. That's why a

164
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 2: bird will swoop down to start the game. Oklahoma has Tennessee.

165
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 2: They played each other in a home and home before.

166
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: Tennessee should again have a really nice offense and they're

167
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: hoping for an improved defense. Nico is the new big

168
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: name at quarterback for Tennessee Ty. You can take care

169
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 2: of the last name on your own time.

170
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: Eloyeva. That's there, it is. Yeah, the Red River game

171
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: is later than usual this year. That's something to used

172
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: to in the SEC for that three thirty ABC now

173
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: window in the SEC. Normally it's new. Now it's three

174
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: thirty right. South Carolina is coming to Oklahoma and Shane

175
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: Beemer connective tissue of course with Oklahoma, So there's there's

176
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: that in South Carolina is hoping to be improved. Recruiting

177
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: has been pretty good, but some shaky results of late

178
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: Ole Miss. I'm sure you have something with Old Miss,

179
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: one of the weirdest schools in a good way across

180
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: the country. But that game is at the grove. All

181
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: I can tell you is I don't think you're allowed

182
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: to grill so with a lot of finger sandwiches, a

183
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: lot of pearls, and I've been pearls and sun dresses

184
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: and slacks. That's the Old Miss environment.

185
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: Eighteen mile an hour speed limits on most roots, Archie

186
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 2: Archie Manning, Yeah, you minne is. This is a great

187
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 2: symbol for how committed to football Misses because the speed

188
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 2: limits of most rows are eighteen miles an hour Jersey

189
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 2: number of one Archie Manning. On some other roads, it's

190
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 2: just ten miles an hour, which is an homage to

191
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: Eli Manning.

192
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: Of course, a New York Giant's great tye, a Hall

193
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: of Fame quarterback in his own right. And if you

194
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: remember the old Miss Texas and this is Oklahoma, but

195
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: it was funny if you're an Oklahoma fan. You had

196
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: the screaming marine in the end zone when they played.

197
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: So just a connective piece of connective tissue to Oklahoma

198
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: and Red River and Texas and whatever at Miszoo for

199
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: Oklahoma and old Big twelve team rivalry, all sorts of

200
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: fun there. Alabama is coming to Norman and Oklahoma finishes

201
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: out the year at LSU. You know, there's obviously connective

202
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: tissue with Oklahoma and LSU, but it's difficult to play

203
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: in Death Valley. It should be another good LSU team

204
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: this year, still firepower on offense and hopefully the catastrophic

205
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: defense is better for LSU from where they were last season.

206
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: And Jackson Arnold is going to have a lot on

207
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: his plate as Oklahoma enters the SEC.

208
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 2: So neither of these teams just going to Florida this season, right,

209
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: but the Swamp is notable as being one of the

210
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 2: toughest places to play. They will play there before long, right,

211
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 2: Maybe not in twenty twenty four, but certainly moving forward,

212
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 2: they'll have plenty of games in the swamp. The Swamp

213
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 2: is so loud for three specific reasons.

214
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: Okay.

215
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 2: The first is that, much like the Michigan Field, it's subterranean,

216
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 2: so it's below ground level that it dig it down

217
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 2: into the earth, which creates a little bit of a

218
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: bottling up of an effect on the sound. The second

219
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 2: is that the stands are a little bit closer to

220
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: the field, and they're also a little bit more vertically oriented,

221
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 2: so it doesn't bow out quite as much as Michigan Stadium.

222
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 2: It's a little bit more of just like an upward

223
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 2: facing tunnel that keeps the sound down. And I believe

224
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 2: I saw at points the sound has gotten to one

225
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 2: hundred and fifteen decibels, which is very close to the

226
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 2: threshold for human pain. So you know, you can make

227
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 2: plenty of jokes about that if you want to. Human

228
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: pain is definitely something Florida fans also suffer, though probably

229
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 2: not from how many decibels there are in the stadium.

230
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 2: That being said, if you're wondering why is the stadium

231
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: still lowed? Why is this such a big thing that

232
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 2: people talk about, you will experience at firsthand when you

233
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 2: go there at some point in the future. That's why

234
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 2: the stadium is almost engineered to be comically loud.

235
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: So it's loud engineering and Gatorade. That's what Florida does.

236
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: Correct what Florida does. Florida themselves will be traveling to

237
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: Texas and that would be a week after the Georgia

238
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: game for Florida. So human pain is your tie in there.

239
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: Human pain is a tie in. Texas also has Georgia

240
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: at home. So Georgia is traveling to Austin this year

241
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: and if you want to, I mean, Georgia is going

242
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: to be great. Carson back, you know the whole thing.

243
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: The defense is stacked once again. But if you do,

244
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: you remember specifically what happened right before the last time

245
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 1: Texas played Georgia. I know, I'm putting you on the

246
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: spot here when was This is Tom Herman, oh Man,

247
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: this is Sam Ellinger, this is Lil Jordan Humphrey and

248
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: Trey Watson and Bevo bashing through his cage to charge

249
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: Ugga in the Tom Herman Champion Sugar Bowl over Kirby Smart.

250
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: I thought that was more recent than that. It was

251
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, twenty eighteen, somewhere in there. That's a great moment.

252
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah. So yeah, that's what you'll. I mean,

253
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: Texas people know that George is gonna be excellent, and

254
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: it seems like Texas is going to be largely excellent

255
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: as well as they come back after a playoff appearance.

256
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: Mississippi State should be improved, especially on offense as Texas

257
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: starts their season against the Dogs that's in Austin as well.

258
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: It was a horrific offense last year, but kind of

259
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: understandable given the context of Mike Leech's passing in the

260
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: off season. They were an impossible situation. It's impossible. So

261
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: it's Blake Shapin, who Texas fans, if you know, you

262
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: remember Blake Shapin from Baylor. He's taking over at Missus State,

263
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: it appears, so there's some familiarity there from his time

264
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: at Baylor. Vandy is on the road, like Texas on

265
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: the road. At Vandy. I have no idea what the

266
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: status of the end zones and the excavators and the

267
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: Cranes is in Nashville, but you're going from one bachelorette

268
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: Paradise to another Texas van. So there you go. There's

269
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: that At Arkansas, I mentioned the nineteen point loss in

270
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: Hudson card and changing quarterbacks. Arkansas is in a tough

271
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: place right now. They're hoping that their wildcard of a

272
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: sometimes really good QB and Taylor Green the Boise State

273
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: transfer works out, but he was super inconsistent as they

274
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: juggled quarterbacks at Boise State last year. Also, Arkansas brings

275
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: back Bobby Patrino, so there's that wildcard element as well.

276
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: And then Texas is probably familiar enough with Texas A

277
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: and M at Kyle Field to finish things out.

278
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 2: Do you know where Gigham comes from?

279
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: It's something to do with is it TCU and is

280
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: he stabbing frogs with like a four or something?

281
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: It is So from my research, Gigam, there are a

282
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 2: bunch of these football related.

283
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: Gestures in the state of Texas.

284
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 2: There's the cougar paw, there's hook them, there's guns up

285
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 2: poniers go for like. There are a bunch of these

286
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 2: things that originated in the state of Texas. Gigam I

287
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 2: believe predates all of them. It started back in the

288
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: thirties and it comes from a game against TCU where

289
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: they started yelling, gigam, when you go frog hunting, you

290
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 2: use a gig pull.

291
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: It's a thing.

292
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 2: I didn't know about it before I did the research,

293
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 2: So you can scre me for that if you want to.

294
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 2: But that's the origin story behind that. Beyond that, though,

295
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 2: I think the actual interesting fact is that it was

296
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 2: sort of the first gesture of its.

297
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: Kind in the Great State of Texas.

298
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 2: Gigam so Texas, I'm sure is intimately familiar with many

299
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 2: of these traditions, given the fact that they've played A

300
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: and M a million times in the past. But for

301
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 2: people out there who are wondering and are kind of

302
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 2: getting into the theme of this episode, that's where that's

303
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 2: where that comes from.

304
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: And I don't feel one way or the other about Texas,

305
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: but it is funny how upset Texas people get over

306
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: horns down and you will learn that in the SEC and.

307
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: I've noticed that just from like some of the stuff

308
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: that we've posted online that people really take umbrage with that.

309
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: I just remember like a Mac Brown quote and then

310
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: that maybe was Bob bowlsby some like Big twelve commissioner

311
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: that is like, hey, it's all fun in games, but

312
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: that's disrespectful. It's like, it's college football. What are you

313
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: talking about? So yeah, SEC people probably already know that.

314
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: My final tidbit on on the SEC. This is my

315
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: favorite fact about any of these schools, maybe about any

316
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: school in college football. It's not so much a tradition,

317
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: but it's one of those like hidden things. Sandford Stadium again,

318
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: which will not host any of these new schools in

319
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, but will at some point. Sandford Stadium

320
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: has two things that are hidden that people don't know

321
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: about right. The first is that the hedges actually have

322
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: a fence hidden within them. So don't try to jump

323
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: hedges and run onto the field and jump through them.

324
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're going to scare yourself on a fence. The second, though,

325
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 2: is below the playing surface of Sanford Stadium, about five

326
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 2: feet below is what's called a box culvert, which in

327
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 2: other words, is a tunnel that houses a creek. It's

328
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 2: called Tanyard Creek. There is a six hundred and eighty

329
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 2: foot long box culvert that runs five feet below the

330
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 2: playing surface and it houses this creek that they built

331
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 2: over when they built the stadium. And the two interesting

332
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: things about the creek are that a it is home

333
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 2: to an endangered species of bat which comes down there,

334
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 2: and also you apparently can get down there. I doubt

335
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 2: would want to, but some people have done it over

336
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 2: the years.

337
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: It's where Aaron Murray loved making out with people, exactly,

338
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: fact number two exactly.

339
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 2: But because it runs right under the playing surface, it's

340
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 2: actually like a security concern if they are hosting foreign

341
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 2: dignitaries or hosting some sort of international event things of that.

342
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: Or like Bane.

343
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 2: If you're Bane, yeah, the Dark Knight Rises, Yeah, exactly,

344
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 2: there's a whole Bane thing that could go along with

345
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 2: what entry points. So, whether it's like the FBI or

346
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 2: the Georgia Bureau of Investigations or Homeland Security or I

347
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 2: think the was it the Queen some one of the

348
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 2: dignitaries from the UK came over.

349
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: Did the Queen go to like a Georgia Tennessee game

350
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety three, or.

351
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 2: It was a king I don't remember exactly the old story,

352
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 2: but Her Majesty's Secret Service was also patrolling sort of

353
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 2: the entry points to Taniard Creek so that nobody could

354
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 2: sneak anything in there under the stadium. Georgia has its

355
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 2: own Mystic River. Yeah, it really does. It's kind of

356
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 2: way kind of well, where do.

357
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 1: You want to go next? Which conference? What are we doing?

358
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: Big twelve love It Okay, Utai Utes, Arizona Wildcats, Asu

359
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: Sun Devils, Where are we going? Colorado Buffs?

360
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 2: The Big Twelve, I think, is another one of these

361
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 2: conferences that is is ripe with very very goofy traditions,

362
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 2: and again not using goofy as a pejorative. I think

363
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: that's a compliment for me. The auburn of the Big

364
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 2: twelve is Texas Tech. Okay, Texas Tech.

365
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: Has some weird stuff in its past.

366
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 2: They throw tortillas on the field. There's some dispute as

367
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 2: to how that started, whether it was soda lids or

368
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 2: if it was because of a almost a I don't know,

369
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 2: a derogatory comment by an ESPN announcer back in the

370
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 2: late eighties. But for one reason or another, they throw

371
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 2: tortillas on the field. That's just their thing. My favorite

372
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 2: thing about Texas Tech, though, if you're visiting from one

373
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 2: of these new schools Arizona Arizona State, Colorado or Utah

374
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: is there is a statue on campus featuring Will Rogers

375
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 2: and his horse, which was named Soap SuDS. Okay, and

376
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 2: so the original design for this statue, it's a very

377
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 2: popular statue.

378
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: You can go and you can find it on campus.

379
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 2: The original theory behind this statue was they were going

380
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 2: to put Will Rogers on the horse and they were

381
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 2: going to face it west so it could ride off

382
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 2: into the sunset.

383
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: Very obvious, like old Western type thing, of course.

384
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 2: But and this signals to me at more than anything

385
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 2: in college football and college athletics, the beautiful pettiness and

386
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: charm of this sport and just this ecosystem. They determined

387
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 2: that they didn't want to face the horse's butt at

388
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 2: downtown Lubbock, So instead of facing it due west, they

389
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: rotated it by about twenty three degrees, Okay, and so

390
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 2: now they sort of are riding west. But instead of

391
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 2: pointing the horse's butt at downtown Lubbock, it faces directly

392
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: you could draw a straight line from it directly at

393
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 2: College Station, Texas always, which is one of those beautiful

394
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 2: bits of charm in college football. That's my favorite thing

395
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 2: in all the big twelve.

396
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: I like that Utah if we're talking typically about the Utes,

397
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: which appears to be one of these stronger teams entering

398
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: into the Big Twelve. They played Baylor last year. That

399
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: was sort of a weird start and stop game. That

400
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: game is in Salt Lake City actually in Week two

401
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: and is technically a non conference game, so I'm not

402
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: gonna Baylor's in a tough spot. David Randa's on the

403
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: hot seat. Oklahoma State went to the Big Twelve championship

404
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: game last year. That game is in still Water. They returned.

405
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 1: They're like thirty seven year old quarterback Alan Bowman, interesting

406
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: firepower on defense. We'll see on offense, but they might

407
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: have the best running back in the country in Oli Gordon.

408
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: So Utah better be up to the task up front

409
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: against Oklahoma State. Utah knows Arizona and Arizona State the

410
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: following weeks. TCU is kind of down bad, but they've

411
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: made some changes, especially at defensive coordinator and Andy Avlos.

412
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens on this offense, but that is

413
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: in Salt Lake City. Houston made a coaching change. Houston

414
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: had a really good shot at going two and ten

415
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, fired Dana Holgerson hire Willie Fritz from

416
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: Tulane very active in the portal. Some Tulane players we'll see.

417
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: I think the offense is very much gonna be work

418
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: in progress. Ty, did you know Donovan Smith is in

419
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: first round quarterback conversations right now? Really? I did not

420
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: know that. I don't pay attention to the NFL draft

421
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: this far in whose first round conference? I don't know?

422
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: I this is what I did. I looked up Houston's

423
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 1: depth chart, recognize a bunch of names, Sure, looked up

424
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: Donovan Smith to see how his spring is. And then

425
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: it's like it's a number of websites that like sound

426
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: like I've heard of them, but I haven't heard about them,

427
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,719
Speaker 1: like draft explosion dot com, Like have I heard of this?

428
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it was like Donovan Smith twenty

429
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: twenty five first round buzz has all the tools. I

430
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: don't know what that means. I'm not a quarterback NFL evaluated.

431
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 2: I was on a site like that in the immediate

432
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 2: aftermath of the NFL Draft and they had Drew Aller

433
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 2: going fifteenth overall.

434
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: It's the best.

435
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 2: I was like, hm, I like drew out. I mean

436
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 2: if the performance meets the hype. If he gets there,

437
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 2: then okay, maybe we can talk, but maybe a little

438
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 2: early to put him in the first round.

439
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, looking at a bunch of fourth graders like who's

440
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: going to be the prom king, I don't know, make

441
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: some wagers now. So then obviously Utah's got the Holy

442
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: War in BYU in Salt Lake City. Familiar with Colorado

443
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: of course. Iowa State third offensive coordinator in three years.

444
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: Nathan Schielhouse was there last year. They were actually pretty

445
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: improved on offense. Iowa State last year with rockl Beck

446
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: and Jalen Nole another new offensive coordinator. I think an

447
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: internal promotion, so that'll be fun. Iowa State is tough

448
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: out at the very least. That game is in Salt

449
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: Lake City and Utah finishes at the bounce House, which

450
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if he did any bounce house research now,

451
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: but it's literally called that because fans, when they collectively

452
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: all jump up and down, it feels like the stadium

453
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: is going to collapse. It very much won't, but they

454
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: fortified it just in case that feeling would get worse.

455
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: You see a lot of these similarities across college football.

456
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: That's not unlike South Carolina, which they correct Williams Brice

457
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: actually still shakes. They have beefed up the support beams.

458
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: I'm not an engineer.

459
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 2: Somebody can correct be on the proper terms, but Williams

460
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 2: Brice does that as well.

461
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: For anyone traveling to South Carolina, Yeah, it's wild. UCF

462
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: also offers probably the most seductive, if that's the right word,

463
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: quarterback head coaching combination, if they are to hit their

464
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: ceiling together and Gus Malson and kJ Jefferson. So that

465
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: could be quite tough for Utah, depending on where their

466
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: health is at the end of the season. I kind

467
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: of think Utah, after suffering so many injuries last year,

468
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: they're going to be blessed with a bunch of injury

469
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: luck this year as everything evens out. You want to

470
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: go to one of the Arizona schools, Well.

471
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 2: I'm just looking through schedules and seeing where some of

472
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 2: these new teams are going to play, and yeah, somebody's

473
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 2: going to Kansas somebody else is going to Kansas State.

474
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 2: The jayhawk is not a real bird. For anyone wondering,

475
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 2: it's not a real bird. It is a combination of

476
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 2: a blue jay and a sparrowhawk. And it was a

477
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 2: nickname for pioneers that built the state of Kansas, and

478
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 2: not necessarily any real bird. And they've actually struggled over

479
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 2: the years to figure out what the illustration for the

480
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 2: jayhawks should look like, if only because it's not a

481
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 2: real thing. So if you look at it, if the

482
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 2: mascot is a combination of the blue jay, which is

483
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 2: a very.

484
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: Mean bird in the bird king, is that true? Very

485
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: mean bird? I'll have you know what. They are aggressive

486
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: their meaning to other birds, mean, very mean to the destructive.

487
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 2: What do I mean to other birds? Yeah, they'll they'll

488
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 2: eat their young, they'll ruin their nests. They're damn They're

489
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 2: sort of like home records of the bird hearts.

490
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.

491
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 2: And sparrowhawks are you know, kind of their own brand

492
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 2: of mean as well. But that's Jayhawkers were the nickname

493
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 2: for those pioneers, hence the name jayhawks, which again not

494
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 2: real bird, much like the hokey not a real bird.

495
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 2: So commit that to memory. The other interesting thing about

496
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 2: the state of Kansas on the flip side week three,

497
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 2: I believe Arizona goes to Kansas State.

498
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: Which will be absating right now. Yep.

499
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 2: In the early part of the season. I did the

500
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 2: research on this, and a lot of people responded to it,

501
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 2: so I made a video way back when I might

502
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 2: renew that at some point soon. You may recognize the

503
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 2: Kansas state logo. Depending on where you're from, it is

504
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 2: called the Powercat logo. Was an immense source of pride

505
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 2: for Bill Snyder back in the late eighties when he

506
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 2: took over the program. They developed this logo and it

507
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 2: became sort of like a call sign for the university.

508
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 2: Everybody loved it so much that it's been adopted since

509
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 2: by at least thirty nine schools in at least eighteen

510
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 2: different states. They all use some variation of that Powercat logo.

511
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 2: So it's very very popular out there in the high

512
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 2: school ranks, even among some like lower college ranks. With

513
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 2: respect to other schools that are called the Wildcats or

514
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 2: some version of it. And one notable example is White

515
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 2: House High School in Texas, which is where Pat Mahomes went.

516
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: High school uses the Powercat. They all use a powercat. Yeah,

517
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: and not just a move you claim to have invented

518
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: in high school. Well, we'll just see the story for

519
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 1: another day. Well, story another day, Yeah, story for another day. Yeah,

520
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: and Arizona people. If you see the letters E and

521
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: W together, that's every man a Wildcat. Yeah, yeah, there's

522
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: your acronym for Kansastate, which, by the way, Kansas State

523
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: should be very good. They have an intriguing, talented quarterback

524
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: and Avery Johnson. Funny that he shares a name with

525
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: the legendary Weirn talker who played for the San Antonio

526
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: Spurs legendary team. Alabama got a nasally talker, I guess.

527
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, Kansas State should be good once again. Won

528
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve a couple of years ago with now

529
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: Ohio State's quarterback Will Howard. So that is in terms

530
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: of if that's what. Week three, seven pm Central, eight

531
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: pm Eastern on Big Fox, one of the headline matchups

532
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: with with t Mac and Noah Fafida traveling to the

533
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: Little Apple.

534
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 2: Can't wait, Let's go to Colorado and Dion. I mean,

535
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 2: Colorado and Dion are ever the talking point. And their

536
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 2: schedule right now, which I've gotten in front of me,

537
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 2: is is pretty interesting to say the least. I mean,

538
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 2: they're playing some of their former conference mates when they

539
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 2: were back in the Pack twelve. So they've got a

540
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 2: road game against Arizona. They've also got a home game

541
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 2: against Utah late in the season, which will be pretty big.

542
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 2: They are the team that travels to Kansas late in

543
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 2: the year. They also travel to the Bounce House. As

544
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 2: you mentioned a little bit earlier. Colorado coming into this conference, though,

545
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 2: is so weird because they were there many times before,

546
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 2: many years prior. They've got plenty of experience in the

547
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 2: Big Twelve, so I don't know if there's so much

548
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 2: of a welcoming committee needed.

549
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 1: No, Cincinnati is new, yeah for the.

550
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 2: Buffs, but I feel like they've got everything they need

551
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 2: to go into the Big Twelve and function short of

552
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 2: maybe a football team, but at least the knowledge is there.

553
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 2: They've got the local knowledge to fit right in as

554
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 2: soon as they as soon as they start things up

555
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 2: this fall.

556
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be a fun schedule. To back two thirds

557
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: of this schedule, basically after the Baylor game offers a

558
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,479
Speaker 1: number of unique challenges. Maybe not Cincinnati, but traveling to Lubbock,

559
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: traveling to Lawrence, Oklahoma State to finish out the season

560
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: in Boulder, Arizona is in Tucson. You know, weird things

561
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: happen at night. If that game is a night game,

562
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: in the desert and that's a week after Kansas State. Like,

563
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: there's it's stretchy. I would say the Colorado schedule is

564
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: definitely stretchy in their new old old new conference. Whatever.

565
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: All right, where should we go next? You want to

566
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: do ASU real quick? Is there anything to add that

567
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: we haven't already mentioned? West Virginia fans are going to

568
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: be traveling to Tempe. That'll be fun. That should just

569
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: that should be a fun matchup. I don't have any

570
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,719
Speaker 1: specific ASU or West Virginia connective tissue there, but ASU

571
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: has played a number of these teams over the years.

572
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: They traveled to the Bounce House, they travel to TCU, Sorry, Arizona,

573
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: is that TCU? Yeah? Fort Worth, I would argue from

574
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: my very little time there and from what I've heard,

575
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: great place, really like a fun place. When we were

576
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: down there for what was the championship game that we

577
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: saw it?

578
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 2: Was it an organ or Oregon Ohio State? Yeah, well

579
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 2: we were down there. There were plenty of folks. There's

580
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 2: my folks again.

581
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: Uh huh.

582
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 2: I came on our show and said that Fort Worth

583
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 2: is where the West starts. Oh. I like that, that's

584
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 2: where the old West starts in Fort Worth. Like if

585
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 2: you're in Dallas, that's fine, but if you go over

586
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 2: to Fort West or Fort Worth, that's where the West

587
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 2: really starts.

588
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: I've heard you can eat well, you got your text

589
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: mex you got your barbecue. I think one of the

590
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: best barbecue places in the state is just outside of

591
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: Fort Worth, Goldies, if I have that right. Yep, would

592
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: love to go to Goldies. Have heard incredible things. So

593
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: I have ASU in front of me now, ty, they

594
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: finished at Arizona, and the Territorial at Kansas State, and

595
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: the Little Apple at Oklahoma State and still Water, so

596
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: you get to see pistol Pete up close and personal. Yep.

597
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: ASU is not at TCU, that's just Arizona, but Texas

598
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: Tech on the road, Cincinnati on the road. You can

599
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: try that chili if you're so inclined, Oklahoma State on

600
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: the road as mentioned, and Tucson once again. So a

601
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: lot of familiarity on this ASU schedule. In the Big twelve.

602
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 2: Four new teams in the Big Ten, we've got your

603
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 2: Oregon Ducks, Washington Huskies, USC and UCLA. Only start with

604
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 2: Oregon here. You're not only an Oregon grad, but you

605
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 2: live now in Big Ten. The heart of Big Ten

606
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 2: in the metal. What do Oregon fans need to know

607
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 2: about coming to Big ten territory?

608
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: Warm socks? Starting in like October?

609
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 2: How many pairs of socks do you wear in any

610
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 2: given day? Are you still going too?

611
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: When I play tennis? Yeah, I wear two pairs of

612
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: socks at the same time, but like wolf socks, I

613
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: don't know. Just take care of your feet when it

614
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: gets cold outside. Only as happy as your feet. We've

615
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: said that for years. I've always said that. Okay, Oregon schedule,

616
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: So Oregon hosts Michigan State. There's some recent connective tissue there.

617
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: That was a Marcus Mariota game in twenty fourteen. Vernon

618
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: Adams and Oregon lost at East Lansing a couple of

619
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: years or a year later, and they're familiar obviously. Jonathan

620
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: Smith from Oregon State there. Ohio State is the week after,

621
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: and that's a week after Ohio State, and that's an

622
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: Eugene plays against Iowa. So there's some bodyblow potential there.

623
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: Have you been to the Shoe? I have been to

624
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: the shoe for an Ohio State Penn Steak game. Been

625
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: the shoe, but the game's in Ausen. But yeah, I

626
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: have shoe facts. We can talk about that. Okay, Oregon

627
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: travels to Purdue. I think that game is on a

628
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: Friday night. Now. My brother went to Purdue strong aviation program.

629
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: He's a pilot. We did a whole episode with him

630
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: about aviation. H Yeah, that's on verballers dot com. And

631
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: you can get a burger with peanut butter at a

632
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: place called the Triple X Family Restaurant in West Lafayette. Honestly,

633
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: the restaurant looks great. I would a couple of eat at.

634
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: I think I'd want a peanut butter burger. It doesn't

635
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: maybe not my thing either, but what is my thing?

636
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: And Oregon has played Purdue in a home and home recently.

637
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: Giant drum, Oh, the big bas drum, the big bass

638
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: drum with the Perdue band. Purdue struggled last year. They're

639
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: pretty down. They were down with the first year head

640
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,239
Speaker 1: coach once Jeff Brom left for Louisville. But I don't know,

641
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: Perdue could be frisky. It's a letdown spot. Potentially after

642
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: the Ohio State game. I don't know.

643
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 2: That feels sort of dangery to me. It might be

644
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 2: harder to make the crew that steers the Big Bass

645
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 2: Drum than it is to make the football team. Yeah,

646
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 2: I agree, that's not a joke because in order to

647
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 2: do it, you need to pass some sort of ROTC

648
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 2: training standard and there is a tryout. If you go

649
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 2: on YouTube, you can find clips of the tryout to

650
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 2: be part of the Big Bass Drum crew. And on

651
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 2: top of like the physical element of it, yeah, there's

652
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 2: a whole history test that you have to pass in

653
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 2: order to be qualified for it at all. But the

654
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 2: clips are hysterical because it's truly like there's an Olympic

655
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 2: trial going on. If they've got coaches out there with

656
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 2: clipboards and a stopwatch as people are driving this thing

657
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 2: around a field like they're, you know, doing the bob sled.

658
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. It's sort of like being a Ralphie handler.

659
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 2: Well, it's a lot like being a Ralphie handler, which

660
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 2: while we're I mean, we just veered away from the

661
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 2: Big but Ralphie handlers actually get varsity letters from Colorado.

662
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: It's like a whole thing. Yeah, look, so the Big

663
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: twelve is familiar obviously with Colorado and Ralphie and the

664
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,439
Speaker 1: whole thing. I will just underscore this once again. Far

665
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: and away, my opinion, the best animal mascot in the sport.

666
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it just sorry, it is it just is

667
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: he she whatever whatever the current Ralphie iteration is. I

668
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 1: think it's a she. Ralphie is a female buffalo, yes,

669
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: or a bison? Yes? The best, the absolute best to me,

670
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: Oregon has Illinois at home. Illinois was kind of down

671
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: last year with Luke Altmeyer, who threw a bunch of

672
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: picks on offense, but a couple key transfers on both

673
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. Defense took a pretty big step

674
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: back last year. I think they're going to bounce back

675
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 1: some Oregon's at Michigan. It's just a good time. I'm

676
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: gonna be there. Tie is going to be there. You

677
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 1: said you can hook us up with tickets, right well me, yes, Tie,

678
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: a notreed aime slash Penn stater who.

679
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 2: Went against Michigan in the colle ball playoff semi final.

680
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, well they let me in. Maybe, who's to say.

681
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: If you remember the last time Oregon went to Michigan,

682
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 1: there was both a real and fake statue of liberty

683
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: Dennis Dixon two thousand and seven. A lot of Michigan

684
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: fans left that game early fun for me as an

685
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: Oregon fan, but Michigan is in a terrific place after

686
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: winning a national championship last year. Lose a lot of

687
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: key pieces, but bring back a lot of big names.

688
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: Maryland has been pretty good. They traveled to Eugene. They've

689
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: come close to top teams but haven't really figured it out.

690
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: So it's either going to be an NC State transfer MJ.

691
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: Morris at quarterback or Billy Edwards. But they're pretty good.

692
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,399
Speaker 1: They won a Bowl game. Oregon travels to Wisconsin, which

693
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: is one of the most fun places in the sport

694
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: to travel to. Offense still needs work, defense should be

695
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: pretty good. Wisconsin is one of those teams that is

696
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 1: sort of the victim of having a pretty nice path

697
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: most years in the Big Ten West, and now things

698
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 1: get decidedly more difficult, and hopefully the offense gets better

699
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: this year and healthier this year and finishes with Washington.

700
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 2: Here's a trivia question for you. Please, can you tell

701
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 2: me which men's sports team was responsible for the jump

702
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 2: around tradition? At Wisconsin? They play it after the third

703
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 2: quarter jump around Everybody YEP, literally jumps around.

704
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: It's a very big deal. YEP.

705
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 2: Start in nineteen ninety three, the men's swimming team. They

706
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 2: smuggled in a megaphone, an old Sony discman remember those, yep,

707
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 2: and a CD featuring House of Paint Jumper ound. Yeah,

708
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 2: and they played it. And this tradition was like a

709
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 2: slow burn, very slow burn. But five years after they

710
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 2: smuggled it in the media, guys at the stadium decided

711
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 2: they were going to roll with it. It was a

712
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 2: game against Perdue, Wisconsin ends up winning, and now it

713
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 2: just like again. It kind of good idea at the time,

714
00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 2: Like I said before slow burn, but he took notice.

715
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 2: They decided to play it. Everybody went nuts. They beat Purdue.

716
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 2: Now it's a thing. So when you hear that after

717
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 2: the third quarter, Oregon people, that's why.

718
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 1: And I'm almost positive ever last lead dude in House

719
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: of Pain didn't actually attend a Wisconsin football game until

720
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: like two or three years ago. I believe that the

721
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: game day brought him. They brought him and did a

722
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: profile on him. Finally able to experience jump around in person.

723
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: So I mean, Wisconsin, just everybody should go to a

724
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: game at Camp Randall. It's a great place.

725
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 2: Is anybody going to Nebraska? I believe USC travels to

726
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 2: Nebraska this year. I believe Nebraska's got another interesting stadium

727
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 2: fact in that they built the original stadium, Memorial Stadium.

728
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 2: When they built it, okay, they built it in ninety

729
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 2: working days. It was a thirty one thousand seat stadium

730
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 2: back in nineteen twenty three.

731
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,240
Speaker 1: Obviously they've expanded it many times since then.

732
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 2: But they started working on it in April. They dedicated

733
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 2: it in October. Working day is to build a thirty

734
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 2: one thousand seat stadium, which is kind of crazy. The

735
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 2: other interesting fact about Nebraska Stadium is that's where we

736
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,760
Speaker 2: met that time in person.

737
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. Maybe the most important fact of all. By the way,

738
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:14,479
Speaker 1: it's UCLA traveling to Nebraska. Okay, UCLA has Penn State.

739
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to jump in with

740
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: anything about Beaver Stadium and just the experience of being

741
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: around Penn Staters. It's I think people have this.

742
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 2: Idea of Penn State fans as being crazy obnoxious, which

743
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 2: is not always untrue, believe me. A nice way to

744
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 2: say it, it's a combination of Philly and Pittsburgh and

745
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 2: then some ravel rousers from New York, from Connecticut, from

746
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 2: neighboring states is that is the demographic that you get

747
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 2: in state college. Surely you get some of that, but

748
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 2: at least in my experience and from people who I've

749
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 2: talked to who have come from out of state or

750
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 2: out of town to root for another team, it is

751
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 2: mostly a welcoming crowd. It's a very big place, a

752
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 2: very big stadium, a vibrant tailgating scene.

753
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: For sure.

754
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 2: They take football very, very seriously. I am, of course

755
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 2: biased as a Penn Stater, but the campus has a

756
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 2: lot of good things to offer. College Avenue, Beaver Avenue,

757
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 2: kind of the surrounding areas. It is truly a town

758
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 2: built around the college and not college built and interwoven

759
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 2: into the town as many places are. So it is

760
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 2: Penn State first in the greater State College area, and

761
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 2: you will be welcomed if you are a football fan,

762
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 2: for sure, even if you're rooting for a different team.

763
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 1: Well, it's UCLA, which is not a big threat.

764
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 2: I have to deal with some jackasses, but buy and large,

765
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 2: you're in pretty good company.

766
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: I had a great time at Beaver Stadium. I think

767
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: Beaver Stadium rules. I have traveled from Los Angeles to

768
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: Beaver Stadium and to those UCLA fans making that trek

769
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: this year.

770
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 2: Good luck everybody, good luck. Well, it's hard to get

771
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 2: to It depends where you fly in because I flew

772
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 2: into Pittsburgh and it was a nightmare. You can fly

773
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 2: into Pittsburgh. You can fly in to Philly. There are

774
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 2: other places you.

775
00:39:58,200 --> 00:39:59,919
Speaker 1: Know around here you can connect and it'll be easy.

776
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: You can. But it's hard to find a direct flight

777
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: into University Park.

778
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

779
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: I don't think there's many between Lax and University now.

780
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 2: No, there's not a direct Lax University Park for sure.

781
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 2: So you're gonna have a drive in front of you.

782
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 2: You get to see the barren countryside of pf of

783
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 2: central Pennsylvania.

784
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:21,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, penn State fun times that the travel probably won't

785
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: be won't be the highlight. Yeah, UCLA's travel schedule. They're

786
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: traveling to Rutgers, but that's like you just fly to

787
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: Newark and it's like not terribly far from there. You

788
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: can eat super well in New Jersey and if you're

789
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 1: not taking Rutgers seriously, they'll beat you. And UCLA is

790
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: kind of rebuilding with a new coach. That's going to

791
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: be a challenge. That's a cross country flight. Who's going Iowa? Anybody? Yeah,

792
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: I believe Washington is, but I'll verify, yes, Washington is

793
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: traveling to Iowa. I don't know if you want to

794
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,320
Speaker 1: talk about the wave or something else. It is the wave.

795
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the best, the best, one of our new

796
00:40:58,520 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 2: traditions in college football.

797
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: And it was a social media thing.

798
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 2: Started on a Facebook fan page back in May of

799
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen. A woman named Christa Young said, quote, Kinnick

800
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 2: should hold a wave to the kids minute during every

801
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 2: game because the hospital which is adjacent to the stadium,

802
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 2: Tilly New Oh yeah, yeah, the children's hospital. It sort

803
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 2: of took flight from that. Now it's going to be

804
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 2: in the EA Sports video game.

805
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: You said after the first quarter, after the first quarter. Yeah, yeah,

806
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: after the first quarter. The crowd either turns at their

807
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: backs are to this hospital or faces the hospital directly

808
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: waved off and the kids wave back. It's it's just

809
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:44,280
Speaker 1: it's the best. Washington also travels to Indiana, which Indiana

810
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 1: hasn't been good, but they have a new Oh come

811
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: fiery head coach and Kurt Signetti. I like excitement. I

812
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,359
Speaker 1: like coaches coming in hot, and Kurt Signetti for sure

813
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 1: has Indiana has their own rock. Heps Rock named after

814
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: Terry Heppner, who passed away about fifteen years ago, their

815
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: old head coach, and so that's in one of the

816
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: end zones. They've got sort of chunks of the USS

817
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 1: Indiana outside the stadium, a couple of guns and I

818
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: think part of the hull, yeah, the mast something I

819
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: don't know both that well, I don't know battleships. I

820
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: think it's like expert Dan Rubnstein. It's some part of

821
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: the front of the USS Indiana, which was very active

822
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: in the Pacific Theater. Washington is at Penn State, which

823
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: I want to say Washington Penn State just played in.

824
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 1: Was that a Fiesta Trace mcsorlely. I think that was

825
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: the game in which Penn State was utilizing like the

826
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: two quarterback system and there was a lot of pitching

827
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: like a Sean Clifford specialty play. Love that was that it?

828
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: I'm almost positive it was, yeah, Washington, by the way,

829
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, the twenty seven was it the Fiesta? Yeah? Yeah,

830
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: thirty five twenty eight Penn State won that game. And

831
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: who was that was Trace? That would be Trace? Yeah, yeah.

832
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 1: But they they had some weird I feel like they

833
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: had some weird plays on offense like pitch plays. No,

834
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: maybe I'm making some now. They either pulled it out

835
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: of the hat for the Bowl game. Yes, there is

836
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: some recent connective Washington Penn State connective tissue. Washington finishes

837
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 1: out its season in Eugene at Oregon, obviously quite familiar

838
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: and they've won three in the last two seasons. So

839
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: there's that. USC is the final PAC twelve team making

840
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: the move to the Big ten. USC's schedule I'm bringing

841
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: up right now because I thought I had the tab open,

842
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: but I don't. Here we go USC is at Michigan early,

843
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: go to Zingerman's. It's delicious, it's great. Michigan people are

844
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,720
Speaker 1: buy and large, very nice. They take things very seriously,

845
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 1: but they're harmless in my eyes. I'm saying that at

846
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: gunpoint because my entire right is filled with Michigan people.

847
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: They travel to Maryland, which is like thirty minutes outside

848
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: of DC, so the travel isn't bad, although it is

849
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: cross country. You can eat well in DC, you can

850
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: get around. The museums are free in DC. I you know,

851
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: if you're just jumping in for a weekend, worst places

852
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: to go, especially because it won't be crazy hot. Then

853
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: at Washington at UCLA. So that's not bad at all.

854
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,760
Speaker 1: All Right, finish out with the ACC. ACC.

855
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 2: I've got five fun facts for Stanford callon SMU people

856
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 2: that are trying into ACC territory or maybe not but

857
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 2: obviously joining the conference. The first is this Clemson. Clemson

858
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 2: is obviously a notable program in the ACC. They've been

859
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 2: kind of a top the ACC until recently with Florida

860
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 2: State's rise. Clemson is notably the original death Valley. You

861
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 2: mentioned death Valley earlier with LSU. LSU was not the first.

862
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 2: This dates back to like nineteen forty eight. There was

863
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 2: a coach named Lonnie McMillan from Presbyterian College who was

864
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 2: tired of Clemson beating up on his team, and he

865
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 2: was the one who coined the phrase death Valley. Interestingly enough,

866
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 2: until they renovated the stadium, Clemson's Memorial Stadium, until they

867
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 2: put upper decks on it, there was literally a cemetery

868
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 2: that overlooked the stadium. Wow, so it is death Valley,

869
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 2: both figuratively because of this coach who was tired of

870
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:19,280
Speaker 2: getting beaten and literally because of the cemetery that's adjacent

871
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,800
Speaker 2: to the stadium that overlooks it. So Clemson's the first,

872
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,720
Speaker 2: not LSU. Good luck to any of these three teams

873
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 2: going to Clemson. My hunches that Clemson will be better

874
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 2: than you for the foreseeable future. I had never been

875
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 2: to Clemson. I've driven through it, so I can't speak

876
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 2: much to the actual game day atmosphere. Yeah, but I

877
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 2: know plenty of people who listen to this show and

878
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 2: others kind of just in my personal life, who have

879
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 2: gone to Clemson.

880
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 1: Everybody speaks very highly of it.

881
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 2: It's one of those places that's all my bucket list

882
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:47,320
Speaker 2: that I'd like to get to at some point.

883
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Stanford is traveling cross country two weeks in a

884
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: row at Syracuse at Clemson. I wonder if they're just

885
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: going to like set up shop in your backyard to

886
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 1: stay loose. I don't know what's halfway between Western New

887
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 1: York and South Carolina, but you know how NFL teams

888
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: do that sometimes when they have like the Bills and

889
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: Jets in consecutive weeks, and they are the Rams or

890
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: Cardinals or something. Maybe Stanford should set up shop. I

891
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 1: think when they made this move, I joke that they

892
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 1: should just create a Charlotte satellite practice facility and just

893
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,240
Speaker 1: you know what, it's much easier to do this correct,

894
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: That's absolutely correct. Yeah, Stanford at Syracuse should be nice

895
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:30,359
Speaker 1: that time of year. Western New York Dinosaur Barbecue learned

896
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: the two three zone at Clemson. All the players run

897
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: down a hill and touch a rock before they come in.

898
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: Dabbo takes it very seriously.

899
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 2: He's sprint down one of these days he's going to

900
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 2: eat it, but hasn't yet to my knowledge, very serious

901
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 2: about sprinting at full speed down that hill.

902
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: They should have a killer defense. The offense should be good,

903
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 1: but the defense definitely will be killer for you know,

904
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: Stanford especially who I don't know if they're going to

905
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: be that good this year. Stanford, the rest of their

906
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: were like Raleigh's supposed to be really nice. That's later

907
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 1: on in the season. Stanford at NC State they should

908
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,439
Speaker 1: be tough this year. We did an NC State episode

909
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. You can check that out. And

910
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: that's kind of it, the brunt of it, because they

911
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 1: have Notre Dame and they're Stanford familiar with making that

912
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: trip and that's not a hard you know, Bay Area

913
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 1: to Chicago basically, and other than that first sort of month,

914
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 1: so it's Syracuse Clemson. They host Virginia Tech right after that.

915
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: It's just tricky with the travel and the quality of

916
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech and then Notre Dame. But it's not a

917
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: horrific schedule, No, it's really not terrible.

918
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 2: One team that actually plays two of these new schools

919
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 2: is Wake Forest. Yeah, Wake Forest has to travel to Stanford,

920
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 2: but cal travels cross country to square off against Wake

921
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 2: So a premier battle between two institutions that pride themselves

922
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 2: on academics.

923
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: The Demon Deacon is not a real thing.

924
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe not to you, not to me, but

925
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 2: the it was a deal where the editor of the

926
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 2: paper back in the twenties was complimenting the quote devilish

927
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 2: play and fighting spirit of Wake Forest in a win

928
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 2: over the Trinity Blue Devils which is now Duke. And

929
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 2: so the news director and the head football coach at

930
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,280
Speaker 2: the time, a guy with the name of Hank Garrity,

931
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 2: they loved the name Demon Deacons because again this was

932
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 2: coined just sort of in the student newspaper and they

933
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 2: went with it, and that's why they are called the

934
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 2: Demon Deacons. So I can't speak to the status of

935
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 2: status of actual deacons in the Great State of North

936
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 2: Carolina or in the immediate whereabouts around wake Forest. But

937
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 2: that is the origin story behind that.

938
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: Okay, so yes, Cal travels two Wake Forest, so they

939
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 1: get that experience going to Winston Salem. CAL travels to

940
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 1: Tallahassee early against Florida State. Yep, and DJ you absolutely

941
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: ripped apart Cal last year the head as the head

942
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 1: as the starting quarterback for Oregon State. So there's that

943
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 1: and that should be tricky. Cal also has Auburn by

944
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 1: the way Week two, don the road Cal welcomes in Miami.

945
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 1: Connective tissue there. Mario Christobal not great against Cal. No

946
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: lost in twenty twenty with Oregon against Cal and kind

947
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: of one ugly in a couple other seasons against Justin

948
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: Wilcox and the Golden Bears. Cal themselves, though making changes,

949
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 1: they lost promising offensive coordinator and Jakes Bavitol to Baylor.

950
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,319
Speaker 1: So we'll see if with either I think it's the

951
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 1: North Texas transfer Chandler Rogers or Fernando Mendoza, if the

952
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: offense can continue to grow. But the defense has taken

953
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: a major step back. And this is a CAL defense

954
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: that the offenses that they face aren't incredible, But Miami

955
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: should again be pretty good. Pitch should be down. NC

956
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: State should be good, Florida State should be good. But

957
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 1: this is a CAL defense that might be able to

958
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,399
Speaker 1: get away with not being great against Oregon State, Wake

959
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:54,479
Speaker 1: Forest Syracuse year one with Kyle McCord and Fran Brown

960
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: traveling to the Bay Area, Stanford might not have a

961
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: great offense again, SMU should I don't know, Cal's in

962
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 1: an interesting place in year one and we can finish

963
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: out with SMU SMU. Yeah.

964
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 2: So SMU SMU, I believe, is taking the rather aggressive

965
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 2: approach of not taking any income from the ACC for

966
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 2: a while. They're basically paying for free just so that

967
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 2: they can get into a power conference. They're being rewarded

968
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 2: for their loyalty or for their devotion to their new

969
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 2: conference by playing Florida State, Louisville and.

970
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 1: Not really any other heavy.

971
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 2: Hitters in the ACC. It's one of those interesting scenarios

972
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 2: that we can talk about and unpack more when we

973
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 2: get to our previews. But I looked a little bit

974
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 2: at Smu' schedule this season. It is not bad all

975
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,280
Speaker 2: things considered. Now that being said, who knows what version

976
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 2: of SMU will get. But outside of those two pre

977
00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 2: eminent conference foes in the ACC. There's a gaming TCU

978
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 2: in their early part of the season. There's a game

979
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 2: against BYU early part of the season, but after that

980
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 2: it's a lot of Pitt Stanford, Duke, Virginia Cal. These

981
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 2: are interesting games that, depending on how high you are

982
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 2: on SMU, could potentially be winnable. That might be kind

983
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 2: of the welcome Committee note for SMU that not only

984
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 2: are they playing for free at least for some period

985
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 2: of time, but the schedule seems to.

986
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 1: Almost reward that. In year one here as a new

987
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 1: conference member, right, So, SMU conference champion last year, despite

988
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 1: Preston Stone getting hurt. Offense and defense both good. They

989
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 1: lost the Skillet Game by seventeen and lost to Oklahoma

990
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: by I think also seventeen if my quick math is correct.

991
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:46,879
Speaker 1: But they were pretty balanced last year, and you're right,

992
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,840
Speaker 1: the back half of the twenty twenty four SMU schedule

993
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 1: is incredible. It's beautiful. Yeah, Now at Stanford is an

994
00:51:56,719 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 1: ephis right, playing in front of eleven people in a

995
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: beautiful day on a beautiful day in Palo Alto, among

996
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 1: the eucalyptus trees. It's one of the most beautiful campuses

997
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,720
Speaker 1: in America. But it's going to be a different environment

998
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,839
Speaker 1: from some of the bigger playing at Louisville, Florida State, Like,

999
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 1: it's just going to be different at Florida State's at home,

1000
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 1: TCUs at home, so at Stanford, and that's a week

1001
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,839
Speaker 1: it's two weeks after the Louisville game. But at Duke

1002
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:23,800
Speaker 1: with a new coach, and we'll see how the environment

1003
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: is by a right around Halloween time, Pitt could be

1004
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:29,919
Speaker 1: a disaster and they travel to Dallas. BC is year one.

1005
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien you might remember from his time as a

1006
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: head coach in the state of Texas at Virginia might

1007
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: be a disaster later on in the season, and Cal

1008
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: at home. Like, if you were to build a schedule

1009
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: to go eleven and one against in a power conference,

1010
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: you could do worse than what SMU has in front

1011
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 1: of him.

1012
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,760
Speaker 2: This is a lab grown schedule to try and promote

1013
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,399
Speaker 2: SMU as much as possible in twenty twenty four.

1014
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, making no money but might collect some wins.

1015
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 2: Here my two other interesting facts about the ACC and

1016
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:08,280
Speaker 2: then I guess we'll let the fine people go. Yeah,

1017
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech is not hosting any of these teams. But

1018
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 2: Bobby Dodd Stadium is the oldest stadium in the ACC.

1019
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 2: It's been around since nineteen thirteen. I believe that's the

1020
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 2: right year if memory serves. The fun fact there is

1021
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 2: that as they have renovated Bobby Dodd Stadium over the years,

1022
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 2: they did not get rid of the old stadium.

1023
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: They just built over the old one. So there is.

1024
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 2: Actually a hidden grand stand on the west side of

1025
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 2: the stadium that you can go down and look. Now

1026
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 2: it's not open to the public, so I don't know

1027
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 2: how you get down there, but there are pictures of

1028
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 2: you can see that there are bleachers underneath the existing stadium,

1029
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 2: and I think they like.

1030
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:46,760
Speaker 1: Store stuff down there. Whatever for story, you're your kink

1031
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:51,359
Speaker 1: with this. Your nugget kink is stuff under stadiums. Yeah,

1032
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,399
Speaker 1: I like, like you did a Michigan video. I think

1033
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 1: about a crane that got maybe buried under the legend

1034
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:58,280
Speaker 1: that there might be a crane under the field. Yeah,

1035
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:01,760
Speaker 1: you've talked about the Georgia Mystic River, the old stadium

1036
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 1: underneath the current Bobby Dodd Stadium. That's right. You love

1037
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: a good like is there some sort of treasure underneath

1038
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: Idaho States Bleacher? You know, everything that could be buried

1039
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:18,760
Speaker 1: legend has it is underneath or built upon that scratches

1040
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 1: you where you itch, Well, it scratches me where I itch.

1041
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 2: And it's it shouldn't be a great surprise to anybody

1042
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 2: who follows college sports or just colleges in general, because

1043
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 2: in a lot of cases they're dealing with like a

1044
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 2: limited plot of land yes to build all of this

1045
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:35,319
Speaker 2: stuff on, and it's not a situation where they can

1046
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 2: just very easily move to somewhere else. Like more often

1047
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 2: than not, they don't want to build the campus or

1048
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 2: build the stadium off campus. They want to try and

1049
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,399
Speaker 2: keep everything as compact as they can. And so either

1050
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 2: they're building over a creek like they did at Georgia,

1051
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,800
Speaker 2: they're digging out a lake like they did at Michigan,

1052
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:52,840
Speaker 2: or in the case of Bobby Dodd Stadium, you know,

1053
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:54,840
Speaker 2: they're in a city, so they're trying to kind of

1054
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 2: keep things in their current footprint and they just built

1055
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 2: over built over the old West Grand Stan. Yeah, you

1056
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 2: see this a lot in like European cities do. In

1057
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 2: European cities with soccer stadiums and stuff all the time.

1058
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 1: Well, because you're dealing with like ancient ancient cities, and

1059
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: like people want to protect ruins, and like they try

1060
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 1: to build above it artfully, or they like have a

1061
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 1: little viewing area inside the lobby overneath the civilization that

1062
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:22,400
Speaker 1: existed underneath this library. I like there's a lot of that,

1063
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, I guess sort of turn of the century

1064
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:29,360
Speaker 1: construction strategy was like just build on the top of

1065
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 1: that exactly. So that's Bobby Dot Stadium. Again.

1066
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 2: You can't really get down there, but you can go

1067
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:35,840
Speaker 2: online and find pictures of it. It's kind of interesting

1068
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 2: and my favorite acc fact of all of them. Please

1069
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 2: Virginia Tech has a giant cannon, a game canon named Skipper.

1070
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 2: For a time, I believe it was considered the world's

1071
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 2: largest game canon. I don't know the other game canons

1072
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 2: out there. I could probably name a few, but apparently

1073
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 2: Skipper was the largest. Yeah, don't know if that's still

1074
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 2: the case. There is a gigantic Wikipedia page on Skipper

1075
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 2: the cannon. There's a lot out there on the internet

1076
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 2: about this thing. The story behind it is really interesting,

1077
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 2: to say the least. The part that I love the

1078
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:12,879
Speaker 2: most though, is that when they built this thing, they

1079
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 2: realized very late in the process that nobody knew how

1080
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 2: to fire it. Okay, they built the cannon, they used

1081
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 2: like authentic copper or whatever for kind of the barrel.

1082
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 2: It was like a very very fastidious process to make

1083
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 2: sure that they made this thing to speck, but they

1084
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 2: didn't know how to fire it, and they didn't consider

1085
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 2: that when they built it. So what they ended up

1086
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 2: doing to test fire this thing was they drilled a

1087
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 2: hole in the end and to build a fuse, they

1088
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 2: used a cherry bomb firework familiar with the little cherry bomb.

1089
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:44,439
Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about.

1090
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 2: Of course, they lit the cherry bomb and dropped that

1091
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 2: in to fire the cannon, and that was how they

1092
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,400
Speaker 2: first test fired it. It's obviously come a long way

1093
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 2: since then, and my guess is that they're not still

1094
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 2: doing that that would be safe. But in the very beginning,

1095
00:56:58,080 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 2: that was how they tested it. That was how they

1096
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 2: fired thing until I think they modified designs at some point.

1097
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 2: It's still mostly the same thing, but my guess is

1098
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:07,880
Speaker 2: that there's a little bit more of a of a

1099
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 2: safety process around how they actually how they fire this thing. Now,

1100
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 2: so that's the skipper go out. We can read about skipper.

1101
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 2: It's a very very interesting story to say the least.

1102
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 2: But if you go to Virginia Tech, if you're in

1103
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 2: Blacksburg and you go to a game, more often than

1104
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 2: not you're gonna hear Skipper. That is at least part

1105
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 2: of the origin story behind it.

1106
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 1: My favorite acc nugget is not really a nugget at all,

1107
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 1: but every so often I come across Papa John Schnatter's

1108
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: Instagram feed because used to be big deal Louisville Papa

1109
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: John Stadium. It's now not called that anymore. He seems

1110
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 1: like a not great person at all, but his Instagram

1111
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 1: feed is something else. Every third post is an inspirational

1112
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 1: quote attributed to himself. His face doesn't really move, it

1113
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 1: has kind of a weddy sheen, and some of his

1114
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:06,919
Speaker 1: posts are like him appearing on podcasts and other other

1115
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 1: posts are him like side by side with somebody else

1116
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 1: making a pizza and him just being over the moon,

1117
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 1: Like look what he's doing with that sausage, Look at

1118
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,240
Speaker 1: that dough work? Does I would hire this guy? How

1119
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 1: does the doe compare to yours? Well, I'm not saying

1120
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: it's not his dough. I'm saying he's watching it's like

1121
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 1: the split screen he's watching somebody else make dough in

1122
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 1: their video or like spin dough or come up with

1123
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:35,040
Speaker 1: some sort of interesting pizza combination, and he's just so impressed.

1124
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 1: And so I appreciate the positivity around pizza. I guess,

1125
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 1: but it's a remarkable feed. That's all. That's nothing new

1126
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:47,439
Speaker 1: with the ACC beyond his former connection to Louisville. But yeah,

1127
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 1: Papa John.
