1 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: We make a little vow to you, I will cancel 2 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: this show before I ever talked politics on this college 3 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: football show. But one bit of commentary I do think 4 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 1: I can deliver that means a lot as to how 5 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: big tonight's show is. Did you notice that there was 6 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: pretty seismic activity in the form of a man withdrawing 7 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: himself from the upcoming election And he's not even going 8 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: to address the nation tonight. Why Maybe not because he 9 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: doesn't want to, but because I think the White House 10 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,239 Speaker 1: is keenly aware of how big Tonight's show is. We're 11 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: jam packed hyatap a, buzzing downtown Nashville, Tennessee. It's lay 12 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: Kick Live Sunday Night, July twenty first, the Year of 13 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: our Lawyer, twenty twenty four. Academy Sports and Outdoors win 14 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: in our sales. Why is this show so big tonight? Well, 15 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: it's big because we're doing something we don't normally do. Frankly, 16 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: I thought our show sucked last week, and so I 17 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: thought we needed a little boost, and so we took 18 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: the needle and we stuck it in the programming and 19 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 1: the rundown, and now all of a sudden, we're doing 20 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: conference championship predictions tonight, not the last week of August tonight. 21 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: We know plenty enough about these teams to talk about 22 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: it tonight. And I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, Well, 23 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: if you're going to predict the conferences, what about the playoff? 24 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: You want to do it? Yeah? All right, let's just 25 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: do college football playoff predictions tonight, Colin. In fact, I 26 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: want you to go ahead and just prepare to crown 27 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: a national champ tonight, with the understanding we reserve our 28 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 1: right to change our minds throughout the entire month of August, because, 29 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: as meml once said, that's what God made August for. 30 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: We've got week one upset alerts on the show tonight, 31 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: I've got what ifs, I've got bold predictions, and we 32 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: will have thousands upon thousands tune in for none of that, 33 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: because at the end of tonight's show or sooner, if 34 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: I feel so inclined, I am going to deviate from 35 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: college football for the one time that I do it 36 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: per year. And I'm giving you a full review of 37 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: Twisters because I saw it last night and with baited breath, 38 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: the world old awaits yes, what I think about that movie? 39 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,279 Speaker 1: Got a lot to say, I mean a lot to say. 40 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: So yeah, we're doing all that on tonight's show. So 41 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: you know, if there's no addressing of the nation tonight 42 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: on the political end, it's probably just because of what's 43 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: happening here on the college football am. At least that's 44 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: what we tell ourselves. They're watching us in Athens, Ohio, Eastman, Georgia, Norman, Oklahoma, Frankfurt, 45 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,679 Speaker 1: Germany is tuned in at Lake Kick, Josh, make sure 46 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: you're following socials. Got a lot going on this week. 47 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna be on the road this week and we'll 48 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: be up in Indianapolis for Big ten media days. You 49 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: never know what could be happening this week though big announcements. 50 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,119 Speaker 1: You noticed we've been strangely quiet on things like gas 51 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: station recruiting wars. What happened? Did that just dry up? No? 52 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: Quite the opposite, Quite the opposite. So at Lake Kick, Josh, 53 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: if you're so inclined, okay, I felt that this was 54 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: as good a time as any to let you know that. Well, 55 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: I'm ready to announce my conference championship predictions tonight. We 56 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: have four Power four conferences now, so it doesn't take 57 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: quite as long to get around the country shamefully. But 58 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: I digress. Let's start in the Big Ten. The Big 59 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: Ten is adding a number of teams this year. I 60 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: think four of them stand out. I think Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon, 61 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: Penn State kind of still need to see the offense there. 62 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: But Ohio State, Oregon, Michigan, you got Penn State there. 63 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,839 Speaker 1: USC's here. I'm going to talk about them a little 64 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: bit later tonight because there's a thing that could happen 65 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: at USC this year that would absolutely insert them into 66 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: the mainframe conversation of who wins the Big Ten. But 67 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: Ohio State versus Oregon is my conference championship matchup and prediction. 68 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: I think that's going to be the most common matchup 69 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: that people predict. It's the best two rosters in the conference. 70 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: It's the preseason number one and number two to win 71 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: the Big Ten. I fully believe Ohio State if they 72 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: need to can ride defense, I don't think they'll need to. 73 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,839 Speaker 1: Like Will Howard, I don't have him as the top 74 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: quarterback in the conference. Actually, I have Dylan Gabriel at 75 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: Oregon as the top quarterback in the conference. But even 76 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: if he's not, in fact, even if that offensive line 77 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: lets them down early in the year. I don't think 78 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: it's gonna be some you know, chronic like ingrown toenail 79 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: of a problem on their roster to where they can't win. 80 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: But if they need to buy themselves some time, they 81 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,799 Speaker 1: may have the best defense in the country, let alone 82 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: the Big Ten. So I've got them matching up against 83 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: Oregon in the Big Ten championship game. Remember they play 84 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: in the regular season. Ohio State goes to Eugene in 85 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: the middle part of the season, So who wins that one? 86 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: You know, I don't think there's a whole lot of 87 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: skill in penciling in wu's and l's, but however that 88 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: one shakes out. I've got them rematching in Indy and 89 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis with a conference championship on the line. As 90 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: of today, I've got Ohio State winning the Big Ten 91 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: and that would give Ohio State obviously a first round 92 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: by in the College Football Playoff. More on that down 93 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: the road, And by down the road, I mean like 94 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: in twenty minutes on this show, next up, let's travel 95 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: to the SEC. This is gonna be strange. So you 96 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: got to understand now, well, this is not just the 97 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: JP pole. I've got the JPA pole coming for you 98 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: next week, by the way. But it's not just simple 99 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: as power rating these teams. I've got Georgia power rated 100 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: as the number one team in this conference. I've got 101 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: Georgia as a top two team. Yeah, that sounds suspicious, 102 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: but that's because it is. I've got Georgia power rated 103 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: sky high, excellent portal moves, they get Carson Beck back. 104 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: Schedule matters here, though, I don't have this massive gap 105 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: between Georgia and the next three or four teams in 106 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: the SEC like some people do. I was at SEC 107 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: media days last week and the talk around the media 108 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: water cooler was it's Georgia and everyone else. I don't 109 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: quite think that's the case, although I do agree that 110 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: they are the best of the bunch. But they're not 111 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: so far above and beyond as to make me think 112 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: they're just gonna buzz through at Alabama, at Texas, at 113 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: Ole Miss and go unscathed. Now, they don't have to 114 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: go unscathed to get the conference championship conference championship, but 115 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: if they are scathe, then it could mean that teams 116 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: like Texas, or teams like Alabama, or teams like Old 117 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: Miss were ones to trip them up, which gives those 118 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: teams a leg up on them when it comes to 119 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: the conference standing. So you know who I put in 120 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: the SEC Championship game. I got Ole Miss in the 121 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: SEC Championship game because I hate them so much, and 122 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: I've got Texas in the SEC Championship game. Both are 123 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: very dependable teams. I think they're both well rounded. I 124 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: think Old Miss defensively will come into form and be 125 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: as well rounded a product as we've seen them be 126 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: under Lane Kiffin. It's a must win moment this year 127 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: for them. I think there's pressure, but pressure they can 128 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: deliver upon over there. I think Old Miss will be 129 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: a player led team this year. A lot of talk 130 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: about guys like Judkins walking out, not a whole lot 131 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: of talk about the Ulysses Bentley's of the world. But 132 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: he'll be a star in their offense. He'll be a 133 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: star and most of you don't even know who that 134 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: is yet, but you will. Texas versus Ole Miss has 135 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: a lot to do with how good the team games aren't. 136 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: Has a lot to do with the fact that they 137 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: just flat out got more workable schedules, and Georgia's got 138 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: to come to both of those buildings, and so it's tough. Man. 139 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: There's no team in the country that I'd predict going 140 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: defeated with Georgia schedule Georgia included. So I got Texas 141 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: winning the SEC, which I don't need to tell anyone 142 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: would be a pretty big story. But as of right now, 143 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: I got Texas winning the SEC. I think they will 144 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: draw a lot upon what they did last year. Last 145 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: year they got a taste and then they got a 146 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: taste when they got to the playoff. That means something. 147 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,239 Speaker 1: They got to replace a lot offensively, quarterback not among them. 148 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: But I just think the overall profile of the program 149 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: is such that if they step into a conference, especially 150 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: if they step in having recruited to it for three 151 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: years before they ever got here and they clicked this year, 152 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: I think they can be in Atlanta and I think 153 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: they can win the whole thing, and that would give 154 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: Texas an SEC championship and a first round by and 155 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: a top four seed in the playoff. Still got to 156 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: get used to saying that next up in the ACC, 157 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: I saw a viable path for Virginia Tech. I still 158 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: do I see a viable path for NC State. Of course, 159 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: you've got Florida State, you've got Clemson, You've got Miami. 160 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: Here to me, if you're gonna call your shot on 161 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: one of these upset teams, one of these dark horse teams, 162 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: that's okay. It's really tough to have any skill in 163 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: doing any of this. It's really really tough to have 164 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: skill in knowing which of those somewhat less talented rosters 165 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: will completely maximize their potential. Because there's a world where 166 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: Virginia Tech, although they haven't recruited, heads up with Miami 167 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: or Florida State or Clemson, ends up playing for a 168 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: conference title just because they squeezed every drop out of 169 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: their sponge this year. But in the absence of being 170 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: able to predict that, I'm gonna go with one of 171 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: these top three. Florida State, Clemson, Miami are one two 172 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: three right now. I think it's gonna be a rematch 173 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: of a regular season game, and I think that rematch 174 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 1: is actually gonna be the rematch that people fared when 175 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: they first formed this version of the ACC. Finally, after 176 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: it feels like dozens of years, how about Florida State 177 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: versus Miami for the ACC championship they play in the 178 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: regular season. I got them playing again in Charlotte for 179 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: the Conference crime. I trust the entire organization at Florida State, 180 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: so it doesn't even matter to me so much that 181 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: maybe DJ is not quite Jordan Travis, and it may 182 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: not matter to me so much that there is a 183 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: lot of little question marks where there used to be 184 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: proven production offensively there. I just trust that they'll fill it. 185 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: I'll trust that in the aggregate they'll billy beat it man, 186 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: They'll find a way and they'll put together a very 187 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: very solid playoff contending type team. I think cam Ward's 188 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: going to be a breakout star at Miami. I think 189 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: in year three under Crystabaul, where you've gone five and 190 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: seven to seven and five seven to six account the 191 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: bowl game, it's natural that they take that leap this year. 192 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: And I think that also that game against Virginia Tech 193 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: they have week five is a big one. Not being 194 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 1: talked about a lot right now. That's a Friday night game. 195 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: That's a big one right now. With Florida State Miami 196 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: in the ACC Championship game, I'd lean Florida State to 197 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: win it, and that would mean Florida State has a 198 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: conference championship, has a first round by and has a 199 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: top four seed. There's also a lot to be said 200 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: for what happened to them last year, and if what 201 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 1: happened to them last year has any carryover effect. I 202 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: think the carryover effect would be having the collective organization 203 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: and a latitude of not leaving a doubt. You don't 204 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: let it rest in a committee member's hands. You salt 205 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: the earth. You leave no doubt in anyone's mind. And 206 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: then even if they don't like you, even if they 207 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: got an extra grind you win that conference championship. They 208 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: got to put you in, and they got to put 209 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: you in one of those top four spots. That's the 210 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: acc the odds right now, or Florida State Clemes in 211 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: Miami won two three, I'm going to take number one 212 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: versus number three, at least according to fan Duel odds. 213 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: And in the Big Twelve, I had to get a 214 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: new piece of paper, actually, because in the Big Twelve, 215 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: I had've different matchup combinations in one hour to play 216 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: for the Big Twelve championship game. Nine teams in this 217 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: conference right now, according to FanDuel, have plus sixteen hundred 218 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: or better odds to win it. So to say, the 219 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: least I could be talked off of this. But at 220 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: the same time, I want to very counterintuitively say I 221 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: am steadfast in this prediction. Someone's lying and there's only 222 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 1: one person in the room here. So paper pop Oklahoma 223 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: State versus Iowa State in the Big twelve championship game. 224 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: As my own production team scoffs in my ear. In 225 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: a few months, I'll be accepting multiple apologies in this building. 226 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: The run game for Oklahoma State is enough for them 227 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: to ride to a conference championship. I think got about 228 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: a million returning starts on the offensive line. You've got 229 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 1: the best running back in the country and Oli Gordon. 230 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: You've got a lot of dependability there. If Alan Bowman 231 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: and I hope he's listening with both fingers crossed, if 232 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: Alan Bowman can just cut down on the turnovers for me, 233 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: You've got the experience. Okay, you've been there, you've seen 234 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: the conference. You've got a favorable schedule. Utah has to 235 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: come to you early in the season, and that's week four, 236 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: and then after that you go to Kansas State. That's 237 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: Oklahoma State season right there. Week four, Week five or 238 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: week five, week six, Yeah, week four, week five, Not 239 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: that I discount West Virginia because that's one of our 240 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: sleeper games of the year, Oklahoma State West Virginia in 241 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: week four, five six. I think that's their season, and 242 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: I think that they'll actually be able to go toe 243 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: to toe physically with those teams. I said that once 244 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: upon a time before and ended up not being right 245 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: about it two years ago. So I hope I'm right here. 246 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,199 Speaker 1: I got Oklahoma State and I've got Iowa State. Iowa State. 247 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: It's just one of those Bill Towards years for them. 248 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: Quarterback check love what they are at running back, love 249 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: what they love for Iowa State, what they are at 250 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: wide receiver. And so it's a top ten returning production team. 251 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 1: The over under win total seven and a half there, 252 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: which is really high for Iowa State. It's not high 253 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: for Alabama, it's high for Iowa State. They have to 254 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: peak late their season. This is the kind of team 255 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: that could start off two four, six eight No, but 256 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: their last four games include at Kansas, at Utah and 257 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: Kansas State. So it's gonna be one thing. It's going 258 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: to like two seasons for Iowa State. One of them 259 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: is getting to November and then the other one's getting 260 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: through November. Well, my thinking here is if Iowa State's there, 261 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: of course no bias is baked into this prediction. If 262 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: Iowa State's there, it's probably because they beat one or 263 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: both of Utah and Kansas State to get there, and 264 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 1: therefore that's how they make it in and that's how 265 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: you have the suspicious absence of Utah and Kansas State. 266 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, though, is actually the team I would take 267 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: to win it because I think Oklahoma State profiles pretty 268 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: well in that kind of setting, and they got their 269 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: last year and last year, man, think about how different 270 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 1: that ending of the season could have gone. You had 271 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: a weird game where Oklahoma State had to go to 272 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: Brigham Young and they ended up coming from behind and 273 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: winning thing. Therefore they go and get their brains beat 274 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: in by Texas. Have they lost that game? It was 275 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: going to be Texas versus Oklahoma Part two in Dallas, 276 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: and I don't know that Texas wouldn't still won the thing, 277 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: but it would have been a little different feel, I guess. 278 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: So I got Oklahoma State in the Big twelve right now, 279 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: I've got FSU in the ACC, I have got Texas 280 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: in the SEC, and I've got Ohio State in the 281 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: Big ten. What order would those teams be in? Don't 282 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: know yet, we will in a few minutes, but those 283 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: would be your top four seeds. Those would be the 284 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: teams with first round bys. How does anyone feel about that? 285 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: How do Ole miss fans feel? How do Oregon fans 286 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: feel that they don't get a first round by but 287 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: Oklahoma State does? Well, don't talk to me, talk to 288 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: the folks who love the concept of auto bids. That's 289 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: conference championships. We'll do playoff predictions in just a little while. 290 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: Oh and you know full Twisters review in the show. 291 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: Where are you getting variety like this anywhere else across 292 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: the college football digital media landscape? So look at that man. 293 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: Even as we're on the air, college football nerds, although 294 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: they should be watching the show right now, they were 295 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: watching Twister with their little ones. So we got another 296 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: another solid positive review here. They keep coming in by 297 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: the hour. As you know, EA Sports has released CFB 298 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: twenty five, and we partnered with them and we did 299 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: a ton of exclusive ahead of release date content. We 300 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: loved all that, But also what I loved is Team 301 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: Builder is back, and as I expected over the weekend, 302 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: as some of you finally got your hands on the game. 303 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: You guys have figured out that whoa, you can play 304 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: with Paate State, and I haven't even done that great 305 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: a job of making sure you have all the assets 306 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: like our best logos. I still have to tweet out 307 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: remind me of that, Jesse. Well, some of you have 308 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: not even waited, and so you've created Peate State. The 309 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: Frights is our mascot, by the way, partly because it 310 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: rhymes and partly because I love trains. That's it. That's 311 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: all you have to do to have a mascot. So 312 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you guys have named the stadium all different 313 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: sorts of things. You have rightly chosen for us to 314 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: play on natural grass. Anyone who has us playing on 315 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: anything else is high out of their mind and has 316 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: never listened to me. Before checkerboarding the end zone was 317 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: a very interesting decision. Okay, we've got the black and 318 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: the orange color scheme, but let me let you in 319 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: on a little secret. Don't get married to that color scheme, 320 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: because it may be that just any given moment, I 321 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: drop an entirely new design on you, complete with new colors. 322 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: It's no secret that I'm a fan of the red 323 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: and yellow around here. Red, white, and blue not too 324 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: bad either. So don't get married to the color palette, 325 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: is my point. But we're going to be sending some 326 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: chali of supremacy out because any of you who go 327 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: to the trouble to build Peate State and then you 328 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: start winning with Peate State and then you publicize it, 329 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: especially if I see fit to retweet it, then yeah, 330 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: that's worth the chalice, I believe. So on the lookout, 331 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: you want to look out, check those dms. By the way, 332 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: all right, let's move along. I have got playoff predictions 333 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: coming up in a little while. I did want to 334 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: get to this first though, because I did not want 335 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 1: that to become monotonous, so I did want to break 336 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: it up a little bit. Jesse comes to me today 337 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: and Jesse says, you know what we need to do. 338 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: We need to look at week one And I said 339 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 1: why and he said, well because Jake Hopkins says, so, 340 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: I said, Jake Hopkins hoomst. He said, look at this tweet. 341 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: Here we go Jake from Fort Worth, Texas. He said, 342 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: recently ranked teams have gone down to unranked teams in 343 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: Week one. Duke beat Clemson last year, Florida beat Utah 344 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: the year before. Virginia Tech beat North Carolina the year 345 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: before that. So in twenty twenty four, which highly ranked 346 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: team will drop a Week one game? So I did 347 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: a couple of things. I asked the staff give me 348 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: a list of some of the notable games, because not 349 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: all of these feature ranked versus unranked. We don't even 350 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 1: have the AP poll out yet. The JP poles not 351 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: even meant for this thing. But here's an idea of 352 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: what we got coming up. So we got like Florida State, 353 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: Georgia Tech, and week zero that games in Ireland. We 354 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: got Penn State, West Virginia, Clemson, Georgia's a neutral site. 355 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: Both of those teams will be ranked, but Georgia's like 356 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: a thirteen point favorite. Miami's at Florida in Week one 357 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 1: true road game Fresno State at Michigan. So I'm gonna 358 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: break down three of these. I'm gonna leave clems in 359 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: Georgia alone because both of those teams will be ranked. 360 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: But let's talk about this for a second. Can Georgia 361 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: Tech be Florida State? I just picked Florida State to 362 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: win the ACC so naturally, I'm putting an upset alert 363 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 1: in Week one. This is week zero actually, and it's 364 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: in Ireland. And when I think about college football games 365 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: in Ireland, I think about two years ago and I 366 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: think about Northwestern upsetting Nebraska en route to a one 367 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: and eleven season. Thus was the Scott Frost era at Nebraska. 368 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: They go over there to Ireland, they lose, Northwestern hangs 369 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: a goose egg the rest of the year in the 370 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: win column one and eleven, the one win in Ireland 371 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: against Nebraska. So one thing that Florida State is not 372 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: and that is Nebraska circa Scott Frost. However, I believe 373 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: in Georgia Tech's offense. I believe in Haines King. Didn't 374 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: say that so much when he was in College station, 375 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: but I'll say it now. They return a ton, they 376 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: finished very strong. It's a team that is sure of itself. Now, 377 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: if you can slice their defense up, Florida State can 378 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,199 Speaker 1: win this. Going away, the question about Week one in 379 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: college football any given year, when you have so much 380 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: roster churn, is is DJU coming in and doing that? 381 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: Do they have the established playmaking ability on the perimeter 382 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: to just boom right out of the gate. Do that? 383 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 1: Week six they probably do. I'm picking them to win 384 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: the conference right now because of that. But in week 385 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: one or week zero, anything can happen. And Georgia Tech 386 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: if they can make the game ugly, if it's not 387 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: it's like seventeen to fourteen at the end of the 388 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: first quarter, If it's not that kind of game, if 389 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: it's like six to three at the end of the 390 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: first quarter, that's the kind of game where you let 391 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 1: Brent Key's team hang around and they are looking for 392 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: that signature whim and no one even knows where they are. 393 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: You can't even find it on GPS phones all messed up. 394 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: Where are we doublin Georgia, No, Dublin, Ireland. I'm just 395 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 1: saying it's a week zero game. So let's keep an 396 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: eye on that one. Let's keep an eye on Penn 397 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: State at West Virginia. West Virginia last year entered the 398 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: season with Neil Brown on everyone's hot seat list, and 399 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: then what they did was they found their identity, they 400 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 1: discovered who they were, and they finished nine and four 401 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: and now no one talks about Neil Brown on the 402 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: hot seat. Now. People who really want to sound hip, 403 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: they sort of get in the back of the room 404 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: and they whisper sleeper team. West Virginia sleeper team. Well, 405 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: you got Garrett Green at quarterback, solid Penn State offensive line. 406 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 1: Are they as good as they were last year? In 407 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: other words, can they go in this game and lean 408 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: on West Virginia new offensive system on the road extremely 409 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: hostile will be Morgantown for that game. And so Week 410 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: three I'd feel a little bit better about this Week one. 411 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: This is college football. Man. What's the line, Jesse Penn 412 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 1: State minus about ten and a half right now at FanDuel. So, 413 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: I mean we've seen we see that every week, much 414 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: less in Week ones in the past. West Virginia, I 415 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: would say, not more of a known commodity. We know 416 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 1: what Penn State wants to do, but the thing is 417 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: they want to do a whole lot more this year. 418 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: We're not talking about this year. We're talking about Week one. 419 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 1: So Penn State could find themselves in a dog fight 420 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: down there. That's a true road game, that's not neutral site. 421 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: And thank you guys for that. And then I'm gonna 422 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 1: take a little bit more of a flyer here, and 423 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: I need to probably yell Fresno State at Michigan State, 424 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: Michigan is or not. Michigan State would be very competitive. 425 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 1: Fresno State is at Michigan week one. The line on 426 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: the game is twenty and a half. Need to ask 427 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: you to do one thing, and that's just calm down. Everyone, 428 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: calmed down, My Michigan folks, Calm down. This isn't a 429 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: production segment. This isn't your going down week one. It's 430 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,679 Speaker 1: just it's meant to present it. It's meant to ask questions. 431 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: You lose the pieces you do offensively, am I supposed 432 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,479 Speaker 1: to blindly assume that you just dive right back in 433 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: and it's all seamless. Fresno State returning quarterback, top three 434 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: offensive production returning. They're a good team. They've won twenty 435 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 1: nine games the last three years. This is an organization 436 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: that knows how to win. Now, they've had upheaval at 437 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: the head coaching position, but you guys have found out 438 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: within the past year what happens to a veteran team 439 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: when it loses its leader. Sometimes that can galvanize. So 440 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: let's not just assume that you've got some shaky G 441 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: five operation coming in here in week one, alex Orgy. 442 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: You know, if things click right out of the gate, 443 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: Michigan should steamroll them. Things don't always click right out 444 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: of the gate, is the point. So those are some 445 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: of the notable games. And if you're talking upset, those 446 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: are some of the games where I'd at least keep 447 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: my eyes peeled. Now, what we don't see is we 448 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: don't see the thirty point favorite out of nowhere trailing 449 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. That can also happen in week one. 450 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: You know what it's time to do. It's time to 451 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: do a couple of things. Well, it's always time to 452 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: play outdoors, play sports. It does almost back to school time, though, 453 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: and I know it's July, but as me and while 454 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: used to tell me, oh, they start earlier and earlier 455 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: these days, and that's actually a trend that's never stopped. 456 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 1: School just keeps starting earlier and earlier and earlier every year. 457 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors knows this. They cannot stop it. Children, 458 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: They cannot save you. They can clothe you, Okay, they 459 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: can make you look better than all of your friends, 460 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: unless your friend's parents are also watching this show. Anyway, 461 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors, Back to School, Back to Sports. 462 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: They are bringing this show to you tonight free of charge, 463 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: and so we thank them for that. They already have 464 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: stuff you need. Anyway, what we ask a small token 465 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: of appreciation is just for you to check them out. 466 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: Maybe you don't even end up buying at Academy, although 467 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: I'd be willing to bet you do when you see 468 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 1: the selection, But just check them out. And if you 469 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 1: can't get there in person, Academy dot Com, as you covered, 470 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 1: these are wonderful people. They are us. They are us. 471 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: Any of you who are you know, diehard college football fans. 472 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: You know what I mean by that. You know when 473 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,959 Speaker 1: their company is floating around out there that try and 474 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 1: pose and then you know the ones who could walk 475 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 1: in the room and blend right in. The folks who 476 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: are making decisions at Academy are ones who could walk 477 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: into a room full of us and blend right in. 478 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: I hope I haven't been unclear there. So they pick 479 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: up what we're putting down and they pick up the 480 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 1: tap for the show and deliver it to your free 481 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: of charge. So we appreciate that, Academy dot Com unless 482 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:54,959 Speaker 1: you can get there in person. If you can get 483 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: there in person, just go in person. This is a 484 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,360 Speaker 1: very very consequential segment coming up here, because for better 485 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: or for worse, I will be nailed to this piece 486 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 1: of paper from now moving forward, Colin afford me five 487 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: seconds to take a swig out of the nondescript water 488 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 1: jug public spring water. It's public spring water. We've got 489 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: to stay hydrated. Number one because we did legs before 490 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: the show. And number two because this is going to 491 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: be pretty controversial. I already disagree with some of this, 492 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: but I got a roll with what I have college 493 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: football playoff predictions in July. Yes, in July, let's go 494 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: conference champs. I've got Oklahoma State winning the Big Twelve, 495 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 1: I got Florida State winning the ACC, I got Texas 496 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: win in the SEC, and I got Ohio State winning 497 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 1: the Big Ten. But what order do we have them in. 498 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 1: I've got the top four seeds having first round byes 499 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: in this order. I've got Ohio State number one team 500 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: in the country entering the playoff Big Ten champs, the 501 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: SEC champion Texas I've got as the number two overall seed. 502 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: Sark just got a raise based on this segment. I've 503 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: got FSU as the ACC champion, number three seed. Feels 504 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: a lot different than last year. Already. Oklahoma State, there 505 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: you go. You win your conference. You're one of the 506 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 1: four highest ranked conference champs, you get a first round by, 507 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 1: you get the four seed. So we know that because 508 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: they won the conferences. This is where it gets really 509 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: really interesting because we have, like, I don't know, fifteen 510 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: to twenty to maybe twenty five, depending on how optimistic 511 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: you are, teams that could viably have a path to 512 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: the playoff. So here's my greade unknown as we dive 513 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 1: into teams five through eight. These are teams that are 514 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: gonna have not a first round by, but they're gonna 515 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: have a first round game on their home campus. How 516 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: is the committee going to handle teams like Oregon, who 517 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: I have playing against Ohio State in the Big Ten 518 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 1: championship game and losing. How they're going to handle Oregan 519 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: And let's just say Notre Dames sitting there as a 520 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 1: one loss team and they're ranked sixth or something like that. 521 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: Does the Oregon drop behind them because they went and 522 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: played a conference title game and lost? Does Ole Miss 523 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: drop behind Notre Dame a team that didn't play, Or 524 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: let's even take a team like Alabama or Georgia or 525 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: someone like that who they don't even make the conference 526 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 1: title game. They could be floating in that six to 527 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 1: seven to eight range. Do any of these teams that 528 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: are already highly ranked, that are ranked above those teams, 529 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 1: but they go add an extra loss because they played 530 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: in their conference title game? Is their precedent for those 531 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 1: teams dropping below? My feel because that committee wants to 532 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: maintain the sanctity and the importance of conference championship games, 533 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 1: as they'll be very hesitant to drop these conference title 534 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: game losers too far. That's my feel. I don't know 535 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: that there is no language that is written to guarantee that, 536 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: but I'm going off that premise. That's why I've got 537 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: Oregon as the five seed. I've got ole miss as 538 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: the sixth seed. Those are Big ten and SEC championship 539 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: game losers. I've got Miami, the ACC championship game loser, 540 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 1: as the seventh seed, and then I've gotten Notre Dame. 541 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: Now again, the thinking there is Notre Dame. Let's say 542 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: it's a one loss team. If it's undefeated, maybe a 543 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: different story. If Notre Dame's a one loss team, I 544 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: think that they're gonna keep these conference championship game losers 545 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 1: ahead of them. I could be wrong on that, but 546 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: for broad Strokes' purposes, looking at it from five months out, Oregon, Ole, 547 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: Miss Miami, Notre Dame five, six, seven, eight. What we 548 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: know about those teams is they will host playoff games 549 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: in the first round. Who they're gonna play? How do 550 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: we fill out nine to ten, eleven and twelve. George 551 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: is gonna be in this thing. I can see a 552 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: world where Georgia doesn't win the SEC. I could even 553 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: see a world where Georgia doesn't play for the SCA Championship. 554 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: I see no world where Georgia doesn't make the playoff. 555 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: I've got Georgia as my nine seed. I've got Bama 556 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: right behind him as my ten seed. Penn State is 557 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: in the playoff as my eleven seed, and Liberty, the 558 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: highest ranked G five conference champ, is my twelve seed. 559 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: Here's what that means for matchups in the first round. 560 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: That would mean we've got Liberty versus Oregon. And you 561 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: may remember that from such games as the Fiesta Bowl. 562 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: It was the Sarah McLaughlan special of bull season. It 563 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: was a splattering, it was a body bag special. Well, 564 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: we got Liberty looking to a tone probably as a 565 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: three or four touchdown underdog on the road at Oregon. 566 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: We got Penn State going down to Oxford, which is 567 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: lovely in December. Lovely Penn State at Olle mess We 568 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: got Bama at Miami. Come back to that in a second, 569 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: and we've got Georgia at Notre Dame. Georgia at Notre 570 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: is a postcard game. That's incredible. That's, by the way, 571 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: that's a lot of your fantasies out there, you guys 572 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: who want to see Southern teams play up north, Well, 573 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: how about going from Athens to South Bend in the 574 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: second week or third week of December. There you go. 575 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: I gave it to you, immunity. How about that third 576 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: game there, Alabama at Miami. To my Miami folks down there, 577 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: how are you gonna handle the ticket situation? If you 578 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: guys get a home playoff game, you gotta come through 579 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: for me. You can't be letting that be like you 580 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: know when the Yankees used to come to Turner Field 581 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: and sixty forty Yankee fans or cub fans. You guys 582 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: gotta protect home field, create home field first off, and 583 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: then protect home field. Because if Miami has a home 584 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: playoff game and they play any of these big national 585 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: brand teams, there's a risk of those teams doing to 586 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: Miami what everyone in the SEC does to Vanderbilt, and 587 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: that's let's make a weekend of it in Nashville. Let's 588 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: go take over their stadium. That can't be happening in 589 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: the playoff. How does this all shake out? Well, here's 590 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: my final four. This is sadistic stuff in this final four. 591 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. We've 592 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: got Ole Miss versus Texas in one side of the bracket, 593 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: which yes, is a rematch of the SEC championship game. 594 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: And on the other side of the bracket, I've got 595 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: Oregon versus Ohio State, which not only is a rematch 596 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: of the Big Ten championship game, it's a rematch of 597 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: the regular season. Those teams, if this piece of paper 598 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 1: is right, play three times in a season. And at 599 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: this point, if we were to get these matchups, we 600 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: would have a very interesting and toxic conversation on our 601 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: hands about how valuable, how important, or even how necessary 602 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: conference championship games are. And someone would say, oh, they 603 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: were very important because look at how much Texas benefited 604 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: from not having to play they had a first round 605 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: by But then there would be another voice that said, yeah, 606 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: but the result was the same, and then they would say, oh, 607 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: and by the way over on the other side of 608 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: the bracket, dittoh. Also, I think you could make a 609 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: point that Oregon, by losing the Big Ten championship game 610 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: and having the five seed, got themselves an incredibly favorable draw. 611 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: This five seed story is going to be an interesting 612 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 1: story to follow. Five seed does not get a bye, 613 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: but what the five seed gets is a home playoff 614 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: game in the first round against probably the G five team, 615 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: and then they go to the second round and they 616 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: play the worst team with a bye. So maybe, like 617 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,719 Speaker 1: the Big twelve champ, Oregon just got to the final 618 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: four by playing Liberty in Oklahoma State. Ohio State may 619 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: have had a first round by but man, Ohio State 620 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: got the winner of Georgia Notre Dame in the second round. 621 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: Be that as it may. I've got Ohio State making 622 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: it and I've got Texas making it. So Ohio State 623 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: versus Texas is my national championship game right now. The 624 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: pressure would be so immense. Even if they get to 625 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: that point, there would be people saying, if Ryan Day 626 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 1: doesn't win this game, this is a failure of a season, 627 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: which is absurd, but I'm not wrong about that. I'm 628 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: right that it's absurd, but I'm also right that it 629 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: would be said. I'd pick them to get it done. 630 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: Right now, I'd pick Ohio State to win the national 631 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: championship over Texas. The powers that be in the television 632 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 1: industry would love that final four, they would love that 633 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: championship matchup. They would love to crown that champ Ohio 634 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: State Texas the best of the Big ten, the best 635 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 1: of the SEC, at least according to these predictions. So 636 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,239 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, you'd get through all that 637 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: mess and then you'd arrive at the finish line, like 638 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 1: seven months after we began, and if this were to 639 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: go down this way, you'd look at it and you'd say, Wow, 640 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,719 Speaker 1: you expanded the playoff, we gave buys, we gave auto bids, 641 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 1: and we ended up with maybe the same matchup we 642 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: were gonna end up with anyway. I don't know, we'll see. 643 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 1: It's maybe it's a lot messier than that, or maybe 644 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,720 Speaker 1: it really is that clean. So that's how I'm feeling 645 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,359 Speaker 1: right now. Of course, everyone disagrees with it. I don't 646 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: need to know that you disagree with it. I need 647 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 1: to know why, and I need to know who you 648 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 1: have in their place, and I need to get reasoning. Also, 649 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: it's July. So if we get through three weeks of 650 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: August and fall camp and we have injuries here and 651 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: we get good intel there, I may reassess like half 652 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: of that. I already don't feel good about some of it. 653 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 1: But there it is. Ole, Miss Texas, Oregon, Ohio State 654 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: your final four. I have to thank you guys. Colin. Actually, 655 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,840 Speaker 1: do you have that tweet that someone sent me yesterday? 656 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 1: And I pointed out because I ask you guys to 657 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: do a couple of things. Visit Academy, check out FanDuel. 658 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: But then I ask you to keep the show free. 659 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,359 Speaker 1: It's very, very simple. Just subscribe to the channels. That's 660 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: all I ask you to do. So. In our industry, 661 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 1: just to give you a little behind the scenes, there's 662 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 1: a big push to put anything that does good behind 663 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: a paywall. And I would rather bear crawl over broken 664 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 1: glass than do that to this show. But the trade 665 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 1: off is we have to maintain our traffic, which we do. 666 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: You guys do a great job of it. It's just 667 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: this time of year there are a lot of eyeballs 668 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 1: on our show, so our numbers are phenomenal. We're the 669 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 1: number one college football show in all of digital media. 670 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,320 Speaker 1: It's never good enough. That's according to me, not according 671 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 1: to management. All you have to do is subscribe to 672 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: the YouTube channel, subscribe to the podcast, and then get 673 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: five of your friends to do the same thing. And 674 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 1: the tweet I was mentioning was one of you actually 675 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 1: documenting that you had swiped the old lady's phone while 676 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 1: she wasn't looking, and she became a subscriber to the channel. 677 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: And it's not going to hurt her, you know what 678 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 1: she doesn't know really will not hurt her in this sense. 679 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 1: In the aggregate, maybe she become a better college football fan, 680 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: a better We're improving things. We're looking to make your 681 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,240 Speaker 1: life better by you bringing your friends and loved ones 682 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,760 Speaker 1: and possibly a spouse or two along for the ride. 683 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 1: So that's all I ask, That's all we ask, and 684 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys in advance, because you've never not 685 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,360 Speaker 1: come through when we've occasionally asked you for that. Let's 686 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: move along. Several what ifs this year, not the least 687 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: of which is what if I were to do this 688 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 1: show tonight, not mention the Twisters review. Well, it won't happen. 689 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: I saw some of you asking in the live chat. No, 690 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: that's coming. It's coming, don't worry. Could be emotional, but 691 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 1: it's coming. Immunity some of the biggest what ifs in 692 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 1: college football this year. Everyone's down on Auburn right now, 693 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,320 Speaker 1: but what if Peyton Thorne just has a career season. 694 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 1: Twenty twenty one seems like forever ago, but he was 695 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 1: at Michigan State then. Remember he did have thirty two 696 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 1: hundred yards, twenty seven touchdowns, ten picks, and it was 697 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: a season for the ages. They were all over. Remember 698 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 1: it for a long time in East Lansing, and then 699 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: everything went sideways for everyone pretty much. And last year 700 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,239 Speaker 1: Peyton Thorns at Auburn, he's all the way down to 701 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,440 Speaker 1: a little over seventeen hundred passing yards, sixteen touchdowns, ten picks. 702 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 1: So I will grant you it's a stretch to be 703 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 1: asking if he could have a career year. They did 704 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 1: land cam Coleman. He's a true freshman, but he's absolutely 705 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 1: gonna have the ball force fed to him. They've got 706 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 1: Caandre Lambert Smith, they got him from Penn State. Rivaldo Fairweather, 707 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: the tight ends down there. This is not a horrible 708 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: stable of pass catchers. Far from it. If this happens, okay, 709 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: if Peyton Thorn somehow puts it all together and Hugh 710 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 1: Freeze finds a way to pull that out of him, 711 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 1: what I think about's not Georgia and Alabama. Auburn probably 712 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 1: still a helped the underdog in those games, even if 713 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,800 Speaker 1: they get pretty good quarterback play. What I'm thinking about 714 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 1: is the Oklahoma game in Week five, and Auburn starts 715 00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 1: five straight games at home. By the way, I'm thinking 716 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 1: about the oklahom A game, I'm thinking about a few 717 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,280 Speaker 1: weeks later, they go to Missouri and then at Kentucky 718 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 1: the week after that. These are games that would either 719 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 1: be coin flip or Auburn lose. And I'm also thinking 720 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,080 Speaker 1: about A and M second to last week of the season. 721 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,919 Speaker 1: If we're getting big time quarterback play from Thorn, those 722 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:22,280 Speaker 1: go from toss up lean opponent to lean Auburn, maybe 723 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,799 Speaker 1: even solidly lean Auburn. And that's the difference in you 724 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,400 Speaker 1: go in five and seven or six and six, and 725 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 1: you go in eight and four, nine and three, maybe 726 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 1: sniffing ten and two. If maybe Georgia or Alabama's not 727 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 1: as good as we think they're going to be, So yeah, 728 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 1: it would be a good sign. It would also make 729 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 1: Hugh Freeze look like a genius because they didn't even 730 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: go get a quarterback out of the portal. I don't 731 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 1: think they're counting on Peyton Thorn delivering a career year. 732 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,879 Speaker 1: But if he does, you reserve the right to stand 733 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,799 Speaker 1: at the podium and go full I told you so, 734 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: Moe to everyone in December. Next up, in the interest 735 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 1: of fairness, let's go out to LA. What if de'anton 736 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 1: lynn does turn around US season offense overnight? There is 737 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 1: precedent for this, as my esteemed trojan friends would have 738 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 1: you not believe. They would have you know UCLA in 739 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, they were eighty seventh in the country 740 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 1: and yards allowed. They were ninetieth in points per game allowed. 741 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 1: Enter Deonton lenn Overnight. The very next year, they're up 742 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 1: to tenth in yards allowed, They're up to fourteenth in 743 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 1: points per game allowed. So you just quickly, you just 744 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,319 Speaker 1: quickly run the arithmetic in your head. Bring him over 745 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 1: to USC doesn't even have to move if he doesn't 746 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 1: want to. He can live in the same house he 747 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 1: comes over here. We were one hundred and twenty first 748 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 1: last year in points per game defensively, we were one 749 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 1: hundred and nineteenth and yards per game allowed defensively. So 750 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,879 Speaker 1: maybe he doesn't make us top ten, maybe he doesn't 751 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 1: make us top twenty. What if he just jumps us 752 00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:00,400 Speaker 1: up into the top fifty, that would be sizeable mixed 753 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 1: opinions as to whether he's going to do that. I 754 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,279 Speaker 1: don't think he will, but I could just flat out 755 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,239 Speaker 1: be wrong on that. Some of my USC folks could 756 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 1: be right on that. So if he does that, well, 757 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 1: what is USC well? USC is a Big ten championship 758 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,839 Speaker 1: contender if he does that, cause it does two things. 759 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,439 Speaker 1: Number one, it creates a more balanced approach. Number two, 760 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,600 Speaker 1: it means you don't have to score forty a game 761 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,320 Speaker 1: to win. And number three, because of number two, Miller 762 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,759 Speaker 1: Moss is not a quarterback who gets the weight of 763 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,440 Speaker 1: the world put on his shoulders, kind of like Caleb Williams. 764 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams new Man, I can play at no less 765 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,760 Speaker 1: than a Heisman level if we're going to win today. 766 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 1: That's the mentality that he had to have. I don't 767 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,360 Speaker 1: want Miller Moss having to think like that, and so 768 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,359 Speaker 1: if you get this kind of defensive performance, he won't 769 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:53,279 Speaker 1: have to. And lastly, what if Miami has another mediocre season, Well, 770 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: the totals nine and a half, okay, so there I 771 00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 1: would define mediocre for Miami as eight wins or life. 772 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,000 Speaker 1: There's this weird territory that this could fall in though, 773 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,279 Speaker 1: because they went five and seven Marios first year, they 774 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,719 Speaker 1: went seven and five last year, seven and six if 775 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,960 Speaker 1: you include the Bowl game. If they went eight and 776 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 1: four this year, technically it would be improvement, but it 777 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:20,240 Speaker 1: really wouldn't be acceptable because this Miami team's way different 778 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: than the last two. When you get go and get 779 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 1: cam Ward at quarterback, and when you do what they 780 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,799 Speaker 1: did in the portal afterwards, and when you bake in 781 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 1: all of these recruiting classes, well, the two recruiting classes 782 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 1: you've had so far, it's supposed to bring you a 783 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 1: lot more than eight wins. So if they were eight wins, 784 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 1: or certainly if they were below eight wins, well you'd 785 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:45,240 Speaker 1: have a very predictable conversation about Mario. You'd have a 786 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:50,320 Speaker 1: predictable conversation about his staff, their way of doing things. 787 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:55,440 Speaker 1: This is, of course, assuming there's not massive amounts of injury, 788 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,239 Speaker 1: because that could explain away anything. But if they just 789 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,840 Speaker 1: kind of are what we expect them to be roster wise, 790 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,320 Speaker 1: and it's good for nothing more than seven or eight wins, 791 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 1: then that's a problem. That's a problem by anybody's metric, 792 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 1: including THEIRS. I think that the conversation would be really 793 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 1: rough around them. It wouldn't be hot seat rough. I 794 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,279 Speaker 1: will tell you that right now. Wouldn't be hot seat rough. Well. 795 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 1: People may call for hot seat, that wouldn't be what 796 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 1: happened there. There would just be a lot of soul 797 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,880 Speaker 1: searching that would have to happen, a whole lot of 798 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 1: Think about the way you felt after the Georgia Tech 799 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 1: game last year, That's how it would feel at the 800 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: end of the season instead of just the end of 801 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 1: one given game. They're watching us in Kingston, Tennessee. If 802 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 1: I could peel this post it, they're watching us in Branson, Missouri, 803 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,399 Speaker 1: and Buffalo, New York. Something just happened. Now that we're 804 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,719 Speaker 1: through with the segment. Always got to make it through 805 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,680 Speaker 1: the segment because see Colin's gonna go clip those and 806 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,880 Speaker 1: put them up as individual videos, which means, if anything's 807 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 1: going wrong, if you have a medical emergency, someone's calling you, 808 00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,400 Speaker 1: if there's a fly in the room. You get to 809 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 1: the end of the second and then you deal with it. 810 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,279 Speaker 1: I had like a weird pain in my nose. That's 811 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,839 Speaker 1: very similar to if you were to yank thirty seven 812 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,239 Speaker 1: nose Harris out at one time, and we've all who 813 00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,399 Speaker 1: hoopst amongst us hasn't done that before, And I don't 814 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:14,719 Speaker 1: know what it was, and now it's gone. But it 815 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,080 Speaker 1: made my eyes water for a second. But you know, 816 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 1: what can you do? You got to play through it. 817 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,480 Speaker 1: I've got a couple of questions for you, and then 818 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:28,239 Speaker 1: I've got bold predictions, and then we've we've got to 819 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,720 Speaker 1: go to the movies. It's a very very eclectic show tonight. 820 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,800 Speaker 1: If you're watching live, I appreciate you.

It's nothing at college football, and we do 824 00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 1: it because you support it, and you support it because 825 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 1: you probably feel like I do, and that you've looked 826 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,480 Speaker 1: around the places you used to go for college football 827 00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,360 Speaker 1: covers and you've said this kind of is not good anymore, 828 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:58,240 Speaker 1: someone deliver an alternative. Please, here we are. We're delivering 829 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,640 Speaker 1: the alternative, and it will be here until the end 830 00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,680 Speaker 1: of time, as long as I don't screw it up, 831 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,560 Speaker 1: and as long as you show your appreciation to management, 832 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 1: not me management by subscribing. Thank you, guys, because you've 833 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,040 Speaker 1: you've already done it. I just know we have several 834 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,880 Speaker 1: newbies per show, so I have to let them know 835 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:17,880 Speaker 1: what the deal is is Quinn you were is going 836 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,360 Speaker 1: to be an elite quarterback this year at Texas. Let's 837 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,640 Speaker 1: just push all the chips in state your opinion. Let 838 00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,719 Speaker 1: it be known. Why is this important? Well, I'll tell 839 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,279 Speaker 1: you why, because Texas may need it to win it all. 840 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 1: The goal at Texas is to win a national title 841 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,279 Speaker 1: this year. So if they do that, they're they're not 842 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,960 Speaker 1: going to need pretty good quarterback play. There's going to 843 00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,279 Speaker 1: come a time where Quinn Ewers has got to play 844 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 1: at an elite level. And right now he's really good. 845 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 1: Hadn't been elite really good last year. Thirty five hundred yards, 846 00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 1: twenty two to six touchdown to I int that's that's 847 00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:51,960 Speaker 1: pretty good. That is not elite. So he's got another year. 848 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 1: Now he's going to be elite, is start going to 849 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,359 Speaker 1: pull an extra ten to fifteen to twenty percent out 850 00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,399 Speaker 1: of him. He had crucial interceptions in the Red River 851 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:04,240 Speaker 1: shootout against Oklahoma last year. He needed to outduel Michael 852 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,600 Speaker 1: Pennox in a shootout game in the semi final, and 853 00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:12,400 Speaker 1: he didn't do it. That last drive in particular, just inaccurate, 854 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,239 Speaker 1: didn't do it. When I watch quinn Ewers, I look 855 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:16,719 Speaker 1: at a guy that I feel like has a ton 856 00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:18,840 Speaker 1: of potential. I also look at a guy that, to 857 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,480 Speaker 1: this point in his career, feels like he leaves money 858 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,840 Speaker 1: on the table. I'm not about to break down quarterback 859 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:27,560 Speaker 1: mechanics when Steve Sarkesian's the guy coaching him day to day. 860 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:31,400 Speaker 1: But to the untrained ey, it looks loose. Sometimes it 861 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,520 Speaker 1: looks unorthodox. It just looks like he leaves a little 862 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:38,120 Speaker 1: bit on the table. So this is a developmental game, 863 00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:42,839 Speaker 1: and it's the most developmental position in a developmental game. 864 00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,920 Speaker 1: If he plays at an elite level this year consistently, 865 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:51,759 Speaker 1: not flashes consistently, then it's gonna be noteworthy for an 866 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 1: obvious reason, but also it'll mean he did it. There's 867 00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,560 Speaker 1: not immense talent that's proven around him that could pull 868 00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,239 Speaker 1: it out of him. He was surrounded by studs last year. 869 00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,160 Speaker 1: Worthy of those guys, he had four skill guys taking 870 00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,280 Speaker 1: in the top three rounds of the draft, like ad Mitchell, 871 00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,440 Speaker 1: not there anymore, Worthy, not there anymore, Jatavian Sanders, not 872 00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 1: there anymore. Brooks at running back, not there anymore. Even 873 00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,200 Speaker 1: if all these new transfers pan out, you will not 874 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,320 Speaker 1: have a better group than he had last year, or 875 00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,040 Speaker 1: at least it's highly unlikely you do. So that doesn't 876 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,960 Speaker 1: mean he can't do it, but it'll mean he leveled 877 00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:30,319 Speaker 1: up his game instead of sarking his staff surrounding him 878 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,799 Speaker 1: with all this weaponry and those guys pulling that out 879 00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 1: of him. And if he can do that, there's no 880 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,840 Speaker 1: limit to what Texas can do, which is why I 881 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,799 Speaker 1: asked the question, will we get elite quarterback play out 882 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,320 Speaker 1: of him? Because if the answers yes, that's a national 883 00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 1: title contender. If the answer is no, could be a 884 00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,359 Speaker 1: tough first year in the SEC for Texas. And then 885 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,040 Speaker 1: you got to ask yourself, well, okay, who goes through 886 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,479 Speaker 1: Texas en route to maybe winning the SEC or maybe 887 00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:00,280 Speaker 1: going to the playoff. Is Texas a playoff team. We'll 888 00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,239 Speaker 1: think yes, just probably well short of a title team 889 00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,160 Speaker 1: if they don't get elite quarterback to play. Next question 890 00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,239 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with Texas. The next question is, 891 00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:12,719 Speaker 1: if you add to guests right now, who do you 892 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,440 Speaker 1: think will be the best running team in the country 893 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,839 Speaker 1: this year. I think Georgia deserves consideration here. They went 894 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,720 Speaker 1: and got Trevor Etn, who I mistakenly call Travis Etn 895 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,640 Speaker 1: on the last show out of the portal. Georgia was 896 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,080 Speaker 1: aggressive in the portal and he's one guy they got 897 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,799 Speaker 1: and they will ride him this year behind one of 898 00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,520 Speaker 1: the best offensive lines in the country. It's a style 899 00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 1: they want to play anyway, just bludgeon people. So they 900 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,200 Speaker 1: went and got him for a reason. They didn't get 901 00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:42,239 Speaker 1: him to be part of They didn't get him to sprinkle. 902 00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,839 Speaker 1: They got him to ride and I think they will 903 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:46,439 Speaker 1: and if he's healthy, they'll have one of the best 904 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,400 Speaker 1: ground games in the country. I'll tell you another one, 905 00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,520 Speaker 1: and that's Virginia Tech. It will be a lot more 906 00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,080 Speaker 1: quiet about it, but I think Virginia Tech with Kyron 907 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:56,760 Speaker 1: drones a dual threat quarterback. They're leading running back returns. 908 00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:58,719 Speaker 1: He's a five plus yard per carry kind of guy 909 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,120 Speaker 1: for offensive line and return and just like Georgia, it's 910 00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,560 Speaker 1: exactly in line with what they want to do. Rely 911 00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 1: on defense, hopefully the back end pans out, and then 912 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:12,200 Speaker 1: rely on being able to maybe not outman every team 913 00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,400 Speaker 1: they play, but to be the most physical team. Virginia 914 00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,319 Speaker 1: Tech should never be the second most physical team on 915 00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,319 Speaker 1: the field, and if they're playing that style, that's a 916 00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,680 Speaker 1: team that can run the ball very well. Oklahoma State, 917 00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:27,960 Speaker 1: Oklahoma State will play, do they play? No, they don't. 918 00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,239 Speaker 1: Never mind, I was thinking about someone else, Oklahoma State, 919 00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:35,040 Speaker 1: behind the most seasoned offensive line ever and a returning 920 00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:38,799 Speaker 1: Doak Walker Award winner and Oli Gordon. How do you 921 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,479 Speaker 1: not put them in this conversation? I mean Oklahoma State. 922 00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,759 Speaker 1: It's interesting because you're watching a team like Utah come 923 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:49,120 Speaker 1: in and Utah plays there early in the year, and 924 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,359 Speaker 1: I'm just interested to see who runs the ball more 925 00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 1: effectively because it could very well be that Oklahoma State, 926 00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:57,400 Speaker 1: who has struggled maybe in years past, not being the 927 00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,239 Speaker 1: most physical team in the world. Maybe they're the one. 928 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,640 Speaker 1: Maybe they're the team out of all these teams that 929 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:05,879 Speaker 1: Utah is gonna face in Big Twelve play, Maybe they're 930 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:07,960 Speaker 1: the one in the first year that gives them the 931 00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:12,120 Speaker 1: toughest matchup. I put Oklahoma State there, I put Alabama there. 932 00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,360 Speaker 1: What I'm not sure about with Bama is proven wide 933 00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,360 Speaker 1: receiver depth. What I am sure about is Kaylin de 934 00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:20,279 Speaker 1: Boor is gonna find a way to score. And I 935 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,719 Speaker 1: know I got Milro's legs, and I know I got 936 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:26,680 Speaker 1: jam Miller and Justice Haynes and Richard Young in that backfield. 937 00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,560 Speaker 1: And I know I got an inside offensive line plus 938 00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,160 Speaker 1: Proctor returning at left tackle that I can at least 939 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,840 Speaker 1: depend on, and a center that I don't think quarterback 940 00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:37,799 Speaker 1: center exchange will be nearly as big a deal this 941 00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,000 Speaker 1: year with broils For coming in. I think they'll run 942 00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:43,600 Speaker 1: the ball extremely effectively. I think Ole Miss will run 943 00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:47,320 Speaker 1: the ball very effectively. But they lost Quinn Shawn Judkins, 944 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:52,400 Speaker 1: they sure did. But they've got Ulyssa Spentley who is 945 00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,480 Speaker 1: just as good and in time could be better. I 946 00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,799 Speaker 1: would encourage you guys, if you don't believe that, go 947 00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,400 Speaker 1: listen to friend of the program, Jim Naggy. Jim Naggie 948 00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:03,960 Speaker 1: runs the Senior Bowl. The draft starts in Mobile. As 949 00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:07,200 Speaker 1: we know, Jim Naggie runs a Senior Bowl knows everything 950 00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,040 Speaker 1: about every player on the planet. And one of the 951 00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,680 Speaker 1: guys that I'd like for you to hear him talk 952 00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:16,000 Speaker 1: about is Uless Suspenley. There's going to be a popular 953 00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,280 Speaker 1: talking point that there's a massive void on that roster 954 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:23,640 Speaker 1: without Jugkins. And I'm not downplaying the quality of player 955 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:27,640 Speaker 1: quinch On Jukins is if Ole Miss loses this year, 956 00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:29,680 Speaker 1: won't because they don't have him. Let me put it 957 00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:33,439 Speaker 1: that way, so Dark can move as well. I think 958 00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:35,279 Speaker 1: I think Old Miss is going to run the ball 959 00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:39,359 Speaker 1: very well and UCF out of the rafters, but they're 960 00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:43,440 Speaker 1: not really I will get more pushback on putting UCF 961 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,440 Speaker 1: in this conversation than anybody. And the whole point of 962 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:48,520 Speaker 1: it is, let's talk about which teams will be the 963 00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,200 Speaker 1: best running the ball this year. UCF was a top 964 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:53,839 Speaker 1: five running team last year. Did any of you Did 965 00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,320 Speaker 1: any of you in the room know that? Nope, everyone's 966 00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:58,920 Speaker 1: shacking their head. No. And now they got kJ Jefferson 967 00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,719 Speaker 1: at quarterback. If they will run him and run him 968 00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,120 Speaker 1: and then if they got a shot, they'll run him again. RJ. 969 00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:08,839 Speaker 1: Harvey was their leading rusher last year. He's back. Gus 970 00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:12,000 Speaker 1: Malson in his best years Gus Malson in any year, 971 00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:15,560 Speaker 1: but especially his best years. They have run the ball. 972 00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:19,359 Speaker 1: For some reason, people think of Gus Malson's offense at 973 00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:21,759 Speaker 1: its best as this high flying offense. It's not that 974 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,480 Speaker 1: at all. They run the ball to set up anything 975 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,239 Speaker 1: else they do. So I'll take UCF in that conversation 976 00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:32,640 Speaker 1: as well. Let's go bold predictions, bold prediction. Let's see 977 00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:36,760 Speaker 1: last show. I believe three out of the four bold 978 00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:40,360 Speaker 1: predictions were nine point five or bolder. And since we 979 00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:42,640 Speaker 1: have a lot of new people listening to and watching 980 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,480 Speaker 1: the show, bold predictions are not from me I did 981 00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:50,920 Speaker 1: those earlier. Bold predictions are from the audience. And we 982 00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:52,799 Speaker 1: have to go scouts on or on this sort of thing. 983 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:57,040 Speaker 1: You claim, you claim that you believe this stuff enough 984 00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,200 Speaker 1: to bet your own money on. I do not require 985 00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:02,759 Speaker 1: bet slips. I probably should, but I got four of 986 00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,600 Speaker 1: them tonight. So bold predictions tonight? What are you willing 987 00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,600 Speaker 1: to bet your money on? What do you believe about 988 00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:13,319 Speaker 1: this year? First up? Huh, Georgia, according to Arthur, will 989 00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:16,279 Speaker 1: be in the SEC Championship game, but they will not 990 00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:19,680 Speaker 1: face a team that they played. There will not be 991 00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:25,840 Speaker 1: a rematch, So that's noteworthy because Georgia plays Texas, Georgia 992 00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:30,719 Speaker 1: plays Bama, Georgia plays Old Miss, Georgia plays Tennessee. So 993 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,440 Speaker 1: we got the dogs in the SEC championship game. Not 994 00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,840 Speaker 1: hard to envision, but they got to be facing LSU, 995 00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:44,080 Speaker 1: maybe A and M Missouri Oklahoma. Those are the five, six, eight, 996 00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:50,920 Speaker 1: and nine odds teams. According to FanDuel, Texas is out 997 00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,319 Speaker 1: of this thing, Old misses out, Bama's out. That is 998 00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,719 Speaker 1: a little tough for me to grab because first off, 999 00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:59,600 Speaker 1: Georgia just has to make it. Okay, it's a high 1000 00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,840 Speaker 1: value you proposition, but it's not a certainty. And then secondly, 1001 00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:06,400 Speaker 1: they gotta make it and not face the second, third, fourth, 1002 00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:09,240 Speaker 1: or seventh best teams in the odds market in the SEC. 1003 00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:13,080 Speaker 1: So that's a nine point five congratulations. If Georgia faces 1004 00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:16,080 Speaker 1: LSU or A and M or Missouri or Auburn or 1005 00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:19,560 Speaker 1: anyone else in Atlanta other than like Texas and Ole 1006 00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,640 Speaker 1: Miss and Bama and Tennessee, you will get a chalice 1007 00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:27,760 Speaker 1: of supremacy. Arthur, good luck. Next up, here's another one. 1008 00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:34,680 Speaker 1: Gorb from Beautiful Savannah, Georgia. West Virginia wins the Southwest 1009 00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,759 Speaker 1: Conference and then he put in Princess Big Twelve. I 1010 00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,840 Speaker 1: appreciate that West Virginia has the ninth best odds to 1011 00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,560 Speaker 1: win this conference, so it's pretty bold. They're over underwent 1012 00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:46,959 Speaker 1: total of six and a half, so yes, it's pretty bold. 1013 00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,200 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty three, though, just remember life in the 1014 00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:54,160 Speaker 1: Big twelve in twenty twenty three. Oklahoma State made it in. 1015 00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,160 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two, Kansas State was not a top 1016 00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,920 Speaker 1: two team in the preseason odds market. They made it in. 1017 00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,360 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty one, Bay Teler was near the bottom 1018 00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,000 Speaker 1: of the odds. They made it in and won it. 1019 00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:06,160 Speaker 1: Kansas State won it the next year, by the way, 1020 00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:09,480 Speaker 1: So who cares that West Virginia has a six and 1021 00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,160 Speaker 1: a half over underwenttal Well, I do, so this is 1022 00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:14,439 Speaker 1: a nine and a half on the boldness scale. They 1023 00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:18,120 Speaker 1: do also have a tough schedule. West Virginia plays seven 1024 00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,439 Speaker 1: of the top eight odds teams in the preseason Big 1025 00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:26,239 Speaker 1: twelve odds, and they got Penn State and at Pit 1026 00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:28,840 Speaker 1: the first three weeks of the season. Now, those aren't 1027 00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:32,080 Speaker 1: conference games, but it could well, it could do one 1028 00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:34,239 Speaker 1: of two things. It could bang them up and make 1029 00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:37,640 Speaker 1: them a little mentally fragile or it could embolden them 1030 00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:39,400 Speaker 1: and maybe they go on a run. Still, that's a 1031 00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,600 Speaker 1: nine and a half West Virginia winning it. Next up, 1032 00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,480 Speaker 1: some sick people in this world. I know what you're 1033 00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:49,680 Speaker 1: doing with these predictions. Don't think I don't know what 1034 00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:55,640 Speaker 1: you're doing. So noted from Birmingham, Alabama noted that's the 1035 00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:58,719 Speaker 1: only name we have noted said two group of five 1036 00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,200 Speaker 1: teams will make the playoff. Well, no they won't. So 1037 00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,760 Speaker 1: this is a nine point seventy five on the boldness scale. 1038 00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:07,680 Speaker 1: One is in no matter what. So we're just asking 1039 00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,560 Speaker 1: who that second team would be. You probably need two 1040 00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:15,000 Speaker 1: undefeated teams, okay, because the first one's undefeated, they're in 1041 00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:20,240 Speaker 1: the second one probably has to be undefeated too. Liberty 1042 00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:24,920 Speaker 1: has the best odds in all of college football to 1043 00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,799 Speaker 1: go undefeated. Do you hear what I said? FanDuel has 1044 00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:29,560 Speaker 1: this out right now. If you want to go bet this. 1045 00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,880 Speaker 1: FanDuel has odds to go undefeated in the regular season, 1046 00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:36,759 Speaker 1: and Liberty has the best odds. Is it because they 1047 00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,640 Speaker 1: have the best team in college football? Probably not. It's 1048 00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:44,960 Speaker 1: probably because they play Campbell and East Carolina and Kennesaw 1049 00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,560 Speaker 1: State and Jacksonville State, and the reason I keep just 1050 00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:49,879 Speaker 1: mentioning non Power four teams is cause they don't play 1051 00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,799 Speaker 1: a Power four team. So Liberty's probably going to make 1052 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:57,239 Speaker 1: the playoff, just like seventy other teams would do if 1053 00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:00,480 Speaker 1: they faced the schedule. But we're all for autos man, 1054 00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:04,640 Speaker 1: we're all Ferado bids sarcasm. Who's making it in after them? 1055 00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:09,200 Speaker 1: Memphis has to play Florida State, UTSA has to play Texas, 1056 00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:13,439 Speaker 1: Tulane draws Kansas State, and Oklahoma, Boise plays Oregon, app 1057 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:17,680 Speaker 1: State plays Clemson. So at least there are major hurdles 1058 00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,799 Speaker 1: for those other teams to clear. Liberty doesn't have one, 1059 00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:23,440 Speaker 1: so I don't see two of making it in. That's 1060 00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,120 Speaker 1: a nine point seventy five for two G five teams 1061 00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:28,120 Speaker 1: to make it in on the boldness scale. And lastly, 1062 00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:32,600 Speaker 1: I respect this one. Mike. Mike is in Grove City, Ohio. 1063 00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:37,080 Speaker 1: I appreciated. I respect it. It's very bold. Rutgers will 1064 00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:43,520 Speaker 1: win ten games. Hm hmm, nine point twenty five. It's 1065 00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:47,520 Speaker 1: not crazy bold, it's not. They don't play Ohio State, 1066 00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:49,440 Speaker 1: they don't play Oregon, they don't play Penn State, they 1067 00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:53,560 Speaker 1: don't play Michigan. Greg Ciano, if he ran the scheduling 1068 00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:57,239 Speaker 1: office would not change anything about Rutgers schedule. Now, they 1069 00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,960 Speaker 1: do go to Virginia Tech, they do go to Nebrass, 1070 00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:03,000 Speaker 1: they go to USC. You're not playing in the Big 1071 00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:07,040 Speaker 1: Ten and not having a tough couple of road games Washington, 1072 00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:11,400 Speaker 1: Whiskey and Illinois at home. Winning ten games is going 1073 00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:16,000 Speaker 1: to be a tough draw, not impossible. Rutgers winning ten 1074 00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:18,920 Speaker 1: is a nine point twenty five on the boldness scale. 1075 00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:20,960 Speaker 1: But they're over under win totals. Jesse is at six 1076 00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,760 Speaker 1: and a half. Right, So you start looking at that schedule. 1077 00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:28,640 Speaker 1: If you believe at all in Greg Chiano in company, 1078 00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:31,880 Speaker 1: you can find you seven wins there pretty quickly. It's 1079 00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:33,600 Speaker 1: six and a half and it's juice to the under. 1080 00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:37,760 Speaker 1: So there you go. If you believe that's free money, 1081 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,080 Speaker 1: they're just offering it to you. Free money does not 1082 00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:45,240 Speaker 1: exist people. However, having some skill and having some discipline 1083 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:49,120 Speaker 1: and having proper money management could yield a positive result 1084 00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:53,240 Speaker 1: this fall.

If you think George 1092 00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:14,840 Speaker 1: is going to go undefeated, if you think I'm wrong 1093 00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:16,480 Speaker 1: about that, if you think they can make it through 1094 00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:18,480 Speaker 1: twelve to zero, you can go bet that right now. 1095 00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:20,240 Speaker 1: If you think George is going to miss the playoff, 1096 00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:22,960 Speaker 1: so you're on the total opposite end of that spectrum, 1097 00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,200 Speaker 1: you can also go bet that.

And if 1126 01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:10,120 Speaker 1: you're here for college football, that really concludes the show tonight. 1127 01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:14,160 Speaker 1: There is no more college football on the show. But friends, 1128 01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:16,840 Speaker 1: the show is not over. Colin. I will want this clipped, 1129 01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:20,920 Speaker 1: by the way, and I can't wait to see what 1130 01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:26,280 Speaker 1: you do with the thumbnail. This show is all college football, 1131 01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:29,200 Speaker 1: all year round, except there's one exception. You guys know 1132 01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:32,240 Speaker 1: that my other passion is storm chasing, and you know 1133 01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:35,120 Speaker 1: that in the spring sometimes we'll move the show around 1134 01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:37,200 Speaker 1: because I'm out in the middle of nowhere and we 1135 01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:42,080 Speaker 1: are storm chasing. Twisters is in theaters now. Once upon 1136 01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:45,720 Speaker 1: a time, Little JP was inspired by the original Twister. 1137 01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:49,160 Speaker 1: It was for people like me. What Top Gun was 1138 01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:52,120 Speaker 1: for kids who wanted to be fighter pilots, Twister was 1139 01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:55,520 Speaker 1: for kids like me, what Days of Thunder was for 1140 01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:58,200 Speaker 1: kids who wanted to be race car drivers. It had 1141 01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:02,280 Speaker 1: a massive, massive on me. I was already passionate about 1142 01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,760 Speaker 1: weather and atmospheric science when I was a kid. Twister 1143 01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,400 Speaker 1: just made me realize I wasn't the only one, and 1144 01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:09,080 Speaker 1: it opened up this whole new world. You mean, there 1145 01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:11,400 Speaker 1: are people who actually get to go do what to 1146 01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:14,800 Speaker 1: this point I had only dreamed about, and I always 1147 01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:18,720 Speaker 1: told myself, I have a two part dream scenario for 1148 01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:20,560 Speaker 1: when I grew up. I'd love to be able to 1149 01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:22,960 Speaker 1: cover college football for a living and I'd love to 1150 01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,560 Speaker 1: be able to afford to go Stormchasing. And wouldn't you 1151 01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:27,760 Speaker 1: know it, we got both of them. Now. That's called 1152 01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:30,200 Speaker 1: a sweet spot. That's why we're never really aggressive to 1153 01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:33,240 Speaker 1: change things around here much, because you try and get 1154 01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,960 Speaker 1: happier than happy, and you can screw things up really quickly. 1155 01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:41,760 Speaker 1: I saw Twisters last night. Phenomenal job. Phenomenal job. Hats 1156 01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:46,440 Speaker 1: off to everyone involved. Several thoughts here. My first biggest takeaway. 1157 01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:48,240 Speaker 1: There will be no spoilers here. By the way, I 1158 01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:50,040 Speaker 1: know a lot of you haven't seen it yet. First 1159 01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:55,320 Speaker 1: biggest takeaway. They didn't hijack the movie. Hollywood did not 1160 01:01:55,560 --> 01:02:01,000 Speaker 1: hijack the movie. It was within reason. The action scenes 1161 01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:04,680 Speaker 1: pass the test. You gotta understand. The trade off for 1162 01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:09,000 Speaker 1: having storm Chasing be featured in a blockbuster film is 1163 01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:12,560 Speaker 1: you gotta have some Hollywood in there. That's gotta happen. 1164 01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:15,520 Speaker 1: And everyone understands that. Otherwise it would be very boring. 1165 01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:18,080 Speaker 1: And we would call that a documentary and I'd love it, 1166 01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:21,160 Speaker 1: but most of you wouldn't, so they nailed it on 1167 01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:24,680 Speaker 1: that front. The characters work. Glenn Powell man, it probably 1168 01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:27,160 Speaker 1: watches every show. Hats off to you, brother. I did 1169 01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,120 Speaker 1: not know if you'd be able to pull it off. 1170 01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:32,360 Speaker 1: But you pulled it off. You could pass for being 1171 01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:35,440 Speaker 1: one of us. Initiation would still have to happen, but 1172 01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:37,560 Speaker 1: you could pass for being one of us. There was 1173 01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:41,160 Speaker 1: no social commentary in this thing. There was no political 1174 01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:44,120 Speaker 1: agenda pushed, which was one of the big fears in 1175 01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:46,720 Speaker 1: the storm chasing community, and the big fear on people 1176 01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:48,840 Speaker 1: who just want to go watch a movie period, is 1177 01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:51,600 Speaker 1: are you gonna try and shove something down my throat? No? Oh, 1178 01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:55,000 Speaker 1: I get to just enjoy a movie with the things 1179 01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,120 Speaker 1: that I have to deal with every other place in 1180 01:02:57,160 --> 01:03:02,360 Speaker 1: the outside world, not included to welcome relief. Hats off 1181 01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:06,440 Speaker 1: to Twisters for doing that. And once again, just like 1182 01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:11,040 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety six, they nailed the vibe. The vibe. 1183 01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:14,240 Speaker 1: I can't explain I do this stuff multiple times a year. 1184 01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:17,640 Speaker 1: I'm out in Oklahoma or Kansas, or Missouri or Nebraska 1185 01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:21,680 Speaker 1: or Texas multiple times a year chasing tornadoes Illinois, Iowa, 1186 01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:27,440 Speaker 1: and there is a culture. It's very small it's very confined. Therefore, 1187 01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:30,600 Speaker 1: it's very hard to understand because almost everyone is an 1188 01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:34,240 Speaker 1: outsider to it. When it comes to Storm Chasing, Hollywood 1189 01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:38,880 Speaker 1: two times out of two shockingly has nailed the vibe. 1190 01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:42,960 Speaker 1: They kind of gave you a good idea of what 1191 01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:46,840 Speaker 1: it's like. These people in this world are very unapologetic 1192 01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:49,840 Speaker 1: about how passionate they are. Now, maybe in your normal 1193 01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:53,040 Speaker 1: nine to five job, the read timbers of the world. Notwithstanding, 1194 01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:56,000 Speaker 1: you kind of gotta sanitize it a little bit, and 1195 01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:58,080 Speaker 1: you can't just nerd out on everyone. You can't be 1196 01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:01,640 Speaker 1: checking radar Omega or you know, radar scope every five 1197 01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:03,760 Speaker 1: minutes at your cubicle. But when you get out there 1198 01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:07,400 Speaker 1: in the field, you can. People will unapologetic about how 1199 01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:09,400 Speaker 1: much they love it. So they nailed all that, and 1200 01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:13,680 Speaker 1: I could not be happier and prouder of the folks 1201 01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:17,120 Speaker 1: who made this movie for that. Now, the other thing 1202 01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:19,960 Speaker 1: that mattered a lot to folks like us is seeing 1203 01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:23,920 Speaker 1: Storm Chasing presented the right way, and it makes some 1204 01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:27,120 Speaker 1: folks emotional to watch it because they love it. I 1205 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:31,080 Speaker 1: love it, We love it. And it's extremely hard to 1206 01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:34,080 Speaker 1: understand because ninety nine point nine percent of the population 1207 01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:37,800 Speaker 1: doesn't get it. They're terrified by it and they want 1208 01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:40,480 Speaker 1: nothing to do with it. The way people talk to 1209 01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:44,600 Speaker 1: you about chasing tornadoes is the same way you would 1210 01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,680 Speaker 1: talk to someone and I don't say this to joke 1211 01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:50,360 Speaker 1: around that has a substance abuse issue in your family. 1212 01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:54,000 Speaker 1: Every one of us has someone in our social circle 1213 01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:57,520 Speaker 1: or our family who's dealt with substance abuse, and if 1214 01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:00,120 Speaker 1: you hadn't, you probably will one day. The way you 1215 01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:03,600 Speaker 1: talk to them is you try and encourage them to stop. 1216 01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:06,600 Speaker 1: You try and encourage them not to do that thing 1217 01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:11,200 Speaker 1: because it's very dangerous and it could cut their life short. 1218 01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:15,040 Speaker 1: People talk to folks who chase tornadoes the same way 1219 01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:18,919 Speaker 1: for obvious reasons. And the thing about it is if 1220 01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:22,480 Speaker 1: you're passionate about it, it doesn't matter. You respect it, 1221 01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,120 Speaker 1: you're happy they care about you. But it goes in 1222 01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:27,120 Speaker 1: one ear and out the other. Because if you've ever 1223 01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:30,880 Speaker 1: seen tornadoes in person, and you're the very very small 1224 01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:34,080 Speaker 1: minority that's drawn to it, it's no different than a drug. 1225 01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:37,280 Speaker 1: I have a total total like what do they call it? 1226 01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:40,360 Speaker 1: Common like straight edge lifestyle. I don't smoke, I don't drink, 1227 01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:43,040 Speaker 1: I don't do drugs, but that's one thing I do 1228 01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:45,720 Speaker 1: that I would imagine has me hooked about as much 1229 01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:49,360 Speaker 1: as that stuff. Folks love it, don't apologize for it. 1230 01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:52,760 Speaker 1: They love it. And so when someone comes along and 1231 01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:54,640 Speaker 1: they're going to put that on the big screen, you're 1232 01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:57,840 Speaker 1: kind of worried that it's going to mock a lifestyle 1233 01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:00,200 Speaker 1: that you really love. But when they do it like 1234 01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:03,520 Speaker 1: they did in Twisters or the original, it really makes 1235 01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:06,240 Speaker 1: you happy because it's presented the right way. It's not 1236 01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:10,520 Speaker 1: like this knock comedic commentary on it. It's just straight 1237 01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:13,440 Speaker 1: up through in stormchasing in your face, and it's raw 1238 01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:15,400 Speaker 1: and unfiltered. And if you like it, fine. If you 1239 01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:19,000 Speaker 1: don't find Oklahoma as a state, the state of Oklahoma 1240 01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:23,040 Speaker 1: won this movie Unbelievable Postcard of Oklahoma. It's like a 1241 01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:26,680 Speaker 1: love story to the state of Oklahoma. There's such immense 1242 01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:29,720 Speaker 1: state pride in Oklahoma. Most people who have never been 1243 01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:32,360 Speaker 1: there they call it fly over country. They don't get it, 1244 01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:36,120 Speaker 1: and they question how anyone could be insane enough to 1245 01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:38,640 Speaker 1: live in a part of the country that deals with 1246 01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:41,520 Speaker 1: this kind of stuff so often. Well, be cause they 1247 01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:45,640 Speaker 1: love their home first off, and secondly, they take pride 1248 01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:47,840 Speaker 1: in it. They take pride in it the same way 1249 01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:49,760 Speaker 1: you take pride and where you live. Despite the fact 1250 01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:52,800 Speaker 1: that you got earthquakes in California, you got hurricanes along 1251 01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:56,240 Speaker 1: both coasts, Atlantic and Gulf, you live there anyway, Why 1252 01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:58,640 Speaker 1: because you love it and you just accept the risk, 1253 01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:01,640 Speaker 1: and those of you have lived there a long time 1254 01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:05,360 Speaker 1: you kind of even embrace it, You kind of even understand. Man, 1255 01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:07,480 Speaker 1: this is kind of part of what makes our culture. 1256 01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:11,640 Speaker 1: It makes us unique. There's more education about severe weather 1257 01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:16,920 Speaker 1: per capita in states like Oklahoma than anywhere. It's unbelievable. 1258 01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:21,200 Speaker 1: Even like a gas station attendant who knows nothing about 1259 01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:24,560 Speaker 1: weather has never darkened the door of a hallway in 1260 01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:30,520 Speaker 1: a college professorial setting, they'll tell you, man, you know, 1261 01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:34,120 Speaker 1: it looks like that cell over there near Lawton. They 1262 01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:36,640 Speaker 1: have a little hook on it. That'll be nine ninety five. 1263 01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:40,880 Speaker 1: By the way, it's crazy. So Oklahoma is an amazing place. 1264 01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:43,000 Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time there. I had to 1265 01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:46,040 Speaker 1: get about twenty minutes into this movie before I saw 1266 01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:48,280 Speaker 1: a place that we've been chasing at just in the 1267 01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:52,000 Speaker 1: last few months. Fairview, Oklahoma, is in the middle of nowhere. 1268 01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:56,120 Speaker 1: We were out there this spring. Hat tip Frankie Shepherd 1269 01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:58,960 Speaker 1: because he still had pictures from out there. I chase 1270 01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:02,040 Speaker 1: with him a lot I didn't have. So Fairview is 1271 01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:04,200 Speaker 1: a place in the movie we're like twenty minutes in 1272 01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:07,680 Speaker 1: the first time those storm chasing teams converge. It's a 1273 01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:10,320 Speaker 1: middle of nowhere. There's like a three way intersection, there's 1274 01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:14,360 Speaker 1: some grain silos, there's an old Rundown service station, literal 1275 01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:18,120 Speaker 1: middle of nowhere. And we were there this past spring. Colin, 1276 01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:21,519 Speaker 1: you got that Doppler radar picture. There is a blue 1277 01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:26,439 Speaker 1: dot on this map just north of Fairview, and it's 1278 01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:31,240 Speaker 1: about oh twenty five miles east northeast of a tornado 1279 01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:35,160 Speaker 1: worn cell, and there we are. That blue dot is 1280 01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:37,800 Speaker 1: the exact same spot as one of the scenes in 1281 01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:40,400 Speaker 1: this movie. Unbeknownst to us, they had filmed there a 1282 01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:43,680 Speaker 1: few months beforehand, and unbeknownst to me, Colin show me 1283 01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:45,960 Speaker 1: the other picture. Unbeknownst to me, d dude, I was chasing. 1284 01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:47,960 Speaker 1: We took a picture of me same white T shirt. 1285 01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:50,040 Speaker 1: For those of you who doubt that I chase in 1286 01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:51,840 Speaker 1: the same white tea that I do the show in 1287 01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:55,479 Speaker 1: that right there is the exact same place that that 1288 01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:57,599 Speaker 1: movie scene was filmed, and when you watch the movie, 1289 01:08:57,920 --> 01:08:59,439 Speaker 1: or if you haven't already, if you watch it, you 1290 01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:01,599 Speaker 1: will know exactly what I'm talking about, and you'll recognize 1291 01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:08,479 Speaker 1: that Enid in Oklahoma, Chickisse, Shawnee, Elreno, Norman still Water, 1292 01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:12,400 Speaker 1: all of them represented. And they didn't hollywood it. They 1293 01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:15,720 Speaker 1: went out into the field and they shot in Oklahoma. 1294 01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:19,760 Speaker 1: Hat tip for that. There were some beefs that some 1295 01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:22,000 Speaker 1: of you had with this movie. I had some. I 1296 01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:24,240 Speaker 1: had some things that I wanted to nitpick a little bit. 1297 01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:27,040 Speaker 1: So the soundtrack has been a big point of contention 1298 01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:30,600 Speaker 1: for some of you. I thought the soundtrack was wonderful. 1299 01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:33,960 Speaker 1: You guys, some of you thought there wasn't enough rock 1300 01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:35,920 Speaker 1: on it. So it's a lot of country. And the 1301 01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:38,280 Speaker 1: first one had like Van Halen and Goo Goo dolls. 1302 01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:41,400 Speaker 1: And I think the Twister original soundtrack is the most 1303 01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:44,400 Speaker 1: underrated movie soundtrack known to mankind. So you don't have 1304 01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:47,320 Speaker 1: to sell me on the original. I loved it, loved it, 1305 01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:49,360 Speaker 1: loved him. This one I think is really good too, 1306 01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:51,680 Speaker 1: But you are right about that there wasn't as big 1307 01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:54,760 Speaker 1: a mix in genre in it. I know the Lukecolm 1308 01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:56,840 Speaker 1: song is getting a majority of the run right now. 1309 01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:00,160 Speaker 1: Out of Oklahoma by Lanny Wilson is the best song 1310 01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:02,840 Speaker 1: in that movie. Out of Oklahoma's phenomenal. I think it's 1311 01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:05,200 Speaker 1: the best song she's ever done. I don't have Lanny 1312 01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:07,800 Speaker 1: Wilson posters on my wall or anything like. I'm not 1313 01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:10,680 Speaker 1: signed to the same label as her out of Oklahoma. 1314 01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:12,519 Speaker 1: I don't even care if you don't go see the movie. 1315 01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:15,080 Speaker 1: Just look up the song Laney Wilson out of Oklahoma. 1316 01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:18,160 Speaker 1: It's really good. The score of the movie is where 1317 01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:23,400 Speaker 1: they missed. The original score of the original Twister was 1318 01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:28,599 Speaker 1: about as perfect a fit orchestraly with a movie as 1319 01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:32,240 Speaker 1: you'll get. Field of Dreams was done really well to Titanic. 1320 01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:35,559 Speaker 1: Some of these movies are synonymous with their scores. The 1321 01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:38,599 Speaker 1: score missed the mark in this movie. That is one 1322 01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:40,439 Speaker 1: of the biggest beefs I had. We were leaving the 1323 01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:43,439 Speaker 1: theater last night until Savannah. I did not think the 1324 01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:46,760 Speaker 1: score at all fit the movie. It's like they took 1325 01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:49,519 Speaker 1: score from another action movie and they just placed it 1326 01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:53,240 Speaker 1: in this one. It's a nitpick, but it's something that 1327 01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:55,920 Speaker 1: really stood out to me. There was not a ton 1328 01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:59,519 Speaker 1: of overlap. There was no overlap in story between the 1329 01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:03,120 Speaker 1: first one and this one, which surprised me. There were 1330 01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:07,040 Speaker 1: not a lot of callbacks or references at all to 1331 01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:10,719 Speaker 1: the first one, which surprised me, and frankly, I would 1332 01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:14,120 Speaker 1: have done it differently. I thought character and story development 1333 01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:18,479 Speaker 1: could have taken a deeper dive. It was good enough, 1334 01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:20,680 Speaker 1: but it could have taken a deeper dive. But all 1335 01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:23,080 Speaker 1: in all, I loved it. I think every one of 1336 01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:25,320 Speaker 1: you will love it when you go see it. It's 1337 01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:27,799 Speaker 1: how movie making is supposed to be done, man. Also, 1338 01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:30,800 Speaker 1: it dawned on me that I got to get a 1339 01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:34,519 Speaker 1: handshake that involves the twirly thing. I've never even seen 1340 01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:36,599 Speaker 1: that done before. I have been in the field storm 1341 01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:39,120 Speaker 1: chasing for years. I have never had it occur to me. 1342 01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:42,880 Speaker 1: I need a storm chasing handshake. But I'm going to 1343 01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:46,360 Speaker 1: work on it because I got a few months before 1344 01:11:46,360 --> 01:11:49,240 Speaker 1: next spring gets here, and not to discount second season 1345 01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:50,840 Speaker 1: in the fall. But I'm busy in the fall. So 1346 01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:55,880 Speaker 1: I give this movie for Chalai out of five, strongly recommend. 1347 01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:58,040 Speaker 1: This will not be the last time we debut the 1348 01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:01,160 Speaker 1: Chalai rating system on you, but four out of five 1349 01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:04,320 Speaker 1: Chiwive is the highest rating I've given a movie this year. 1350 01:12:04,439 --> 01:12:06,800 Speaker 1: So far, and how about finishing just a couple of 1351 01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:11,200 Speaker 1: million dollars behind Oppenheimer for the biggest opening weekend release 1352 01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:15,599 Speaker 1: of the year.
