1
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, these are the good ones. The crew knows it,

2
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: the staff knows it, longtime listeners and viewers know it.

3
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: Even I know it. If there's breaking news, everyone knows what.

4
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: We're leading the show with Nick Saban retires. We're leading

5
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: the show with Nick Saban retiring from Alabama. However, the

6
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: night's where we don't have a huge news story out there,

7
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: there's no big bombshell going off, which feels like it's

8
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 1: every other day in college football. Now, those are the

9
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: good shows because those are the shows where we get

10
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 1: to go wherever we want to and friends, We're going

11
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: a lot of places to night. There will be a

12
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: murder on tonight's show. I hate to tell you that.

13
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: I hate to be the very bad news. There will

14
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: be a murder in tonight's show. It won't be for

15
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: the week at heart, but I think it's important for

16
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: all of us to experience it together. We're jam packed,

17
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: we're high atop a glorious downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Sunday, June second,

18
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: the year or Lord twenty twenty four? Do you just

19
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: youar ever stopped to think about the wild amounts of

20
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: change that have happened in our great sport. If you're

21
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: fifteen years old, sometimes you get told you don't know

22
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: anything about history, you hadn't seen anything yet. But if

23
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: you're fifteen years old, you've already seen more change in

24
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 1: college football in your life than some of the folks

25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: three times you're senior. We're going to talk about a

26
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: lot of it tonight. We've got big questions in twenty

27
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: twenty four. We're gonna do this for several shows, but

28
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to start tonight asking some of the questions

29
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: that are on my mind. And really I'm only doing

30
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: it so you'll reply, and I'll see some of the

31
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: questions you're asking, which, hey, could be better than the

32
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: ones we thought of Bold Predictions. Yes, we continue that tonight.

33
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: We've got a ten. We've got a ten on the

34
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: Bold Prediction scale. Tonight, I've got some more impact freshmen

35
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: for you, because I felt like the five we talked

36
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: about the other day was just scratching the surface of

37
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: some of the young guys who were going to get

38
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: in on the action this year. Hey, James or we

39
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: had a really really good feature the other day that

40
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to get to. We couldn't get to it.

41
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: It was like position ranking. So we're going to start tonight.

42
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: I want to get to some offensive line talk and

43
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: the ten best units in the country. We're gonna drill

44
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: down on like six of them, but really ten of them.

45
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: I think we can go that deep and talk about them,

46
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: and then I'm sure we'll get just across the board

47
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: agreement on that as well. They're watching us in Boulder, Colorado, Farmington, Missouri,

48
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: Del Rio, Texas, Clinton, Tennessee. Zero dollars and zero cents

49
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: remains our marketing budget on this show. I always have

50
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: to just slip in thank you's here and there because

51
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: our numbers are through the roof phenomenal and it continues

52
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: to be that way. So thank you guys. And for

53
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: those of you who are new here, maybe you're here

54
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: because you heard about us through word of mouth, just understand,

55
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: here's how we generally try and operate. Take the rest

56
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: of the college football shows out there, especially the ones

57
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: on the bigger, you know, legacy type platforms, we don't

58
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: want to sound like them at all. We created this

59
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: show frankly because I didn't like a lot of what

60
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: was out there, and I knew you felt the same way.

61
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: I just wanted to actually do something about it. So

62
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: we don't spend a whole lot. We don't go by

63
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: billboards and signage in all sorts of big markets. We

64
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: don't pay to do that. That what we do is

65
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: we try and do a good show and if you

66
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: like it, we just ask you tell like five of

67
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: your friends and introduce them to the show, tell them

68
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: to sub keep the show free. We want to. We

69
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: always want to keep this thing free. Paywalls are a

70
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: man's worst enemy, at least one of them. So we

71
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: really appreciate that because our numbers are great. Okay, so

72
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: we got a lot to get to. We got a

73
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: jam packed show in this early early early June, twelve

74
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: saturdays away from college football twenty twenty four and in

75
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: the meantime, I think it's going to be very healthy

76
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: for us tonight. Just take a brief look back as

77
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: we end up looking to the future. So I'm a

78
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: big believer that you can't have crazy predictions in college football.

79
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: Case in point, if we were to go back to

80
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen and you were to ask someone predict the

81
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: next ten years, what will they look like? Anyone who

82
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: accurately called it would have been checked into an insane asylum.

83
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: And likewise, anyone who's asking me, Hey, what's what's the

84
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: next ten years going to look like? Josh, what will

85
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: the sport look like in two thousand and thirty four?

86
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: Nobody knows. Don't believe any of it. Don't believe what

87
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: I say, or at least, don't bank on it. Don't

88
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: believe what the high level executives say, and the high

89
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 1: level mustaches and the suits. None of them know. Even

90
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: the people who are in decision making positions don't know.

91
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: And the reason is because everybody who's in a position

92
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: to make decisions is not actually a qualified decision maker.

93
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: They're all looking around waiting for someone else to make

94
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: the move. And so I was thinking to myself while

95
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: I was driving into the office earlier today, what would

96
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: it have been like if in twenty fourteen I just

97
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: got a glimpse to twenty twenty four Just pause and

98
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: think about that for a second. You're in twenty fourteen.

99
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: It's the first year, I think, Jesse, Yeah, the first

100
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: year of the college football Playoff. Twenty fourteen. That's the

101
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: year Ohio State one at all Urban Meyer wins the

102
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: national title. There, and you know, we don't even know

103
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: about Bowl opt outs. Yet we don't know about nil,

104
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: we don't know about the portal, we don't know about

105
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: any of this yet. Imagine being that one lucky or

106
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: unlucky person who is plucked from the sporting society and

107
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: has given a brief glimpse to twenty twenty four and

108
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: then imagine they drop you right back in twenty fourteen,

109
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: and it's up to you to tell everyone. No one

110
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: would believe you, Just like if someone were to be

111
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: able to somehow predict the next ten years, no one

112
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: would believe you. There's going to be some wild stuff

113
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: happened in the next ten years in the sport that

114
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: even me, even I would probably listen to from the

115
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: profit from twenty and thirty four and I'd say, get

116
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: out of here, man, what are you talking about. So

117
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: you could be fifteen years old right now, This is

118
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 1: the wild part. You could be fifteen years old right now,

119
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: and you have coherent memory of most of this stuff

120
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: five six years old. If you grew up in like

121
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: a diehard college football house in Big Ten, I don't

122
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: care if it was the Pacific northwest of the South,

123
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: if they immersed you in college football, you remember from

124
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: five and six years old, like you can remember all

125
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: this stuff. So I've got folks not even in college

126
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: yet in this audience. We got a huge high school

127
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: and college aged audience, some of you not even in college.

128
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: You've been around for all this stuff. And my point

129
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: is college football's undergone more change in the past decade

130
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: than it had the previous fifty or so years combined

131
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: before that. And we're talking about some heavy hitting stuff there.

132
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: You're talking about going back to like literal integration of

133
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: the sport, fundamental changes. I'm counting all that, and even

134
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: with that being baked in, I'm saying this past few years,

135
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: we've seen the sport quite literally taken and turned upside down.

136
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: Just give you a little stat here. It's a paper popper.

137
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: I think it's worth it. Forty one of sixty nine

138
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: Power Five teams last year had a quarterback that transferred

139
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: as their starter. I want you to imagine twenty fourteen,

140
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: U going to twenty twenty three, seeing that, and then

141
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: going back and telling folks, hey, I just came back

142
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: from the future. I don't know what happened, but forty

143
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: one of sixty nine Power five starting quarterbacks were transfers.

144
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: I have no clue. Well, then you say, I'll be

145
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: right back, let me go, let me go see if

146
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: I can get some information on it. I'll be back, guys.

147
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: And you go back to the future and they tell

148
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: you about the Transfer Portal, and then they don't even

149
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: give you time to react. They go, sh Also, we

150
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: have a thing called NIL, and the NCAA just kind

151
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: of haphazardly said, go on both of those things in

152
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: the span of like a year or two's time. Not

153
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: that they had any choice in the matter, as we

154
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,679
Speaker 1: came to find out, but they just kind of dropped

155
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: it in everyone's lap. And then the calendar went to

156
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: you nowhere, and so like all of a sudden, Bowl

157
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: season got kneecapped. I'll get to that in a second,

158
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: but just say those things, those two things, the Transfer

159
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: portal basic unrestricted movement of talent across the country, and NIL,

160
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: which was pay for play to a ninetieth percent degree.

161
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,679
Speaker 1: That just kind of all came to be. And then

162
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: the byproduct was rosters massively overturning year over year. You

163
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: got Deon Sanders, first off, just Deon Sanders as the

164
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: head coach at Colorado. That alone would have been a

165
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: big time headline. But they brought in seventy three new

166
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: guys last cycle, Jesse, I think the number was it

167
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: was in the low seventies. I think the number was

168
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,679
Speaker 1: seventy three. Can you please just go from twenty twenty

169
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: three back to twenty fourteen and tell somebody yet Colorado.

170
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: First off, Dion's there not as a fan or a spectator,

171
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: like he's the coach. He's got to bring in seventy

172
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: three new guys in the cycle in twenty fourteen. As

173
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: recently as then, they would have drug tested you. That's impossible.

174
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: You can't do that. Well, you couldn't do it, but

175
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: you can do it now. You know, Bowl season's been

176
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: kneecapped because of the expanded playoff. Now, by twenty fourteen

177
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: we had the playoff. That was year one of the playoffs.

178
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop short of saying nobody could have known

179
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: what was coming, because some of us kind of had

180
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: it in our worst fears already what was to come.

181
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: And that was the total and complete kneecapping of Bowl season.

182
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: It used to be as recently as twenty fourteen that

183
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: the phrase Bowl opt out didn't really mean anything. No

184
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: one had heard of that, and certainly no one used

185
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: phrases like meaningless bowl game and now and this is

186
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: a very unofficial number because there's no way to really

187
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: track this, but we think on average about eight players

188
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: per team are opting out of bowl games now. That's

189
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: either due to injury or draft considerations or whatever. Eight

190
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: per team, eight per team. Imagine telling someone that because

191
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: this is again, this is not like back in colorless

192
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: TV era, this is twenty fourteen. Even as recently as then, Man,

193
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: you wake up on New Year's Day, they're playing the

194
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: Outback Bowl or the Capitol One Bowl or the Gator Bowl.

195
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: It's just all the bowl games in Florida. Basically really

196
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: big deals, really went. You went nine to three during

197
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 1: the season, You're going to an SEC versus Big ten

198
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: bowl game. Huge deal, felt like for some re in

199
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: Wisconsin and Iowa played in those things every year. Huge deal.

200
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: And nowadays they get called whatever they get called by

201
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: hoops ever calls them that. Could you have known that

202
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: was coming? Would you have expected bull season to be

203
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: rendered that relatively meaningless? It ain't meaningless to some of us,

204
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: but even some of us who still love bullseason look

205
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: at it and say, this is a shell of what

206
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: it once was, what was the cause of that and

207
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: could you have seen it coming? Also, the whole realignment

208
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: part of this, we haven't even gotten to yet. If

209
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: you're in twenty fourteen, we are not too removed from

210
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: headlines every other day Chip Brown, who was I think

211
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: over at Orange Bloods at the time, now he's at

212
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: Horns twenty four to seven. Chip Brown every other day

213
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: is like scrolling across the ESPN bottom line ticker reporting

214
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: about the latest with Texas and OU and their potential

215
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: move to the PAC twelve. Because at the time it

216
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: looked almost eminent that Texas and OU were going to

217
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: go to the PAC twelve. So we're not that far

218
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: removed from that whole period in twenty fourteen. Imagine looking

219
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: ten years down the road, Texas and OU are going

220
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: to the SEC. The PAC twelve's not even here. Hey,

221
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: I just came back from twenty twenty four. Yeah, how's

222
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: the PAC twelve doing. I don't know how to tell

223
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: you this, Jeff, It's they're not there. What do you

224
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: mean it's gone? I don't it's gone. Just it was

225
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: there and then it wasn't. It's just gone. Well, that

226
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: can't be conferences don't just disappear. Well, it happened at

227
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: the Southwest Conference Jeff, Yeah, but that doesn't happen anymore.

228
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: This is the modern age. How could a conference as

229
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: well positioned and prosperous, How could a conference with so

230
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: many big brains in the room like the PAC twelve

231
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: just cease to exist? Maybe the brains aren't as big

232
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: as you think they are. Jeff. Yeah. So imagine coming

233
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: back from twenty twenty four and delivering that little bombshell

234
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: PAC twelve's gone. Well, certainly that means the Big twelve

235
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: has been gone for a long time, right, mm hm? No,

236
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: Big twelve still there subdue named Brett running the show.

237
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, never heard of him, but they're still there.

238
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: Some of our schools actually went there, but yeah, Texas

239
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: know you, we didn't get them. They went to the SEC.

240
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: In related news, USC and Oregon are in the Big

241
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: ten now, as is Washington and UCLA, and I'm not

242
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: done Stanford, ACC, CAL ACC. We've got multiple teams that

243
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: used to be in the Pac twelve footprint that can

244
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: see the Pacific Ocean from their offices, who are going

245
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: to play conference games against teams that can see the

246
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 1: Atlantic ocean from their offices. As it turns out, multiple conferences.

247
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: By the way, yeah, offense regressed. Did you ever see

248
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 1: this coming? Remember twenty fourteen when all the offensive explosion

249
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: has started to happen, And this is like Gusmalson at

250
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: Auburn running the RPO stuff. And I think there was

251
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: an Iron Bowl where the final was like fifty five

252
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: to forty four, and everyone's looking at saying, oh, even

253
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm under Sabin. Even they're having to sacrifice what they

254
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: believed in once upon a time, and even they're having

255
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: to embrace the new offensive revolution in college football. Hey,

256
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen college football games had fifty eight points per

257
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: game on average. Last year they had fifty three point five.

258
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: So there may have been a revolution at some point,

259
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: but buddy, it got extinguished pretty quickly. What happened there? Well,

260
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: I think what happened maybe is defensive coaches didn't become stupid.

261
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: Defensive coaches just needed time to look across the ball

262
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: and say, oh, that's what you guys are going to

263
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: do now? Okay, let us recruit different caliber players. Let

264
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: us change our strength and conditioning, let us change our nutrition,

265
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: let us change our critical factors. We look for in

266
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: personnel defense is adjusted. I was told it would never happen.

267
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: I was told that college football was going to be

268
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: pinball forever. But apparently those people didn't know what they

269
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: were talking about. Hey, twenty fourteen, you're there, you're playing

270
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: the college football game. Imagine coming to twenty twenty four

271
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: and finding out there has been another one since then.

272
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: You guys are telling me somehow, someway, we're gonna go

273
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: a decade without a college football video game, and when

274
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: it comes back, it's it's ea college football. It's not

275
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: even NC double A. Oh, and while I'm on the subject,

276
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: wait till I tell you what's happened to the NC

277
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: double A. It's kind of not there anymore either now,

278
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: unlike the PAC twelve. Oh, it's still in existence. I

279
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: can go to the I can go to the office.

280
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: I can knock on the door. A receptionist will probably

281
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: let me in. But if I run a foul of

282
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: NC double A rules, nothing really happens. In fact, we

283
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: could run a foul of NC double A laws and

284
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: then they try and come after us, and we take

285
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: them to court. We can cripple them in court, and

286
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: it's happened yet, believe me, in twenty fourteen, I know

287
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: this sounds crazy, but by twenty twenty four, those four

288
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: letters mean nothing. It's it's in C double A. It's

289
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: just like a punchline. It's an afterthought and the death knell.

290
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: Revenue sharing, Yes, folks, in two thousand and four, let

291
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: me tell you what's happening. What's happening is the media

292
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: rights money's not going down. The TV numbers just keep

293
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: going up and up, so good news. The sport is growing,

294
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: quote unquote, and therefore those media rights deals they just

295
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: keep going up and up. The sport again growing. You

296
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: guys aren't going to see any of the money. You're

297
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: just fans, But don't worry. They're gonna tell you it's growing.

298
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: But it's all gonna come crashing down because in twenty

299
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: twenty four they're gonna have to settle some class action

300
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: lawsuits and they're gonna have to very very very stubbornly

301
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: agree we're gonna have to share the revenue with the players. Yes,

302
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen was not that long ago. And yet if

303
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: I said any of that in twenty fourteen, you would

304
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: have thought I was insane, which bags the question, what's

305
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: happening over the next decade. Do you feel like there

306
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: is some semblance of normalcy that will return to the

307
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: sport or do you feel like it will just continue

308
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: to be chaotic, Because frankly, I don't think anything can

309
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: continue to be as chaotic as the sport has been like.

310
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: I think it'll kind of be a trend line that

311
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: regresses back more towards normalcy, because right now, every year's

312
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: been like that. No two years have looked the same.

313
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: The sport has churned itself to a thirty percent or

314
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: thirty five percent degree. It seems like every year to

315
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: where you go in a two or three year time frame,

316
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: the whole sport's changed. I don't think that's going to

317
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: continue to happen. However, I am not so bold as

318
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: to sit here and tell you I know where we're

319
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: going to be in two thousand and thirty four. I

320
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: have no idea. I don't know we're going to be

321
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. So your best guess is as

322
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: good as mine. I'll be happy to listen, happy to

323
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: have you guys in it. It's a jam pack show.

324
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: I have so much going on. I'm smack dab in

325
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: the middle of a gas station recruiting war and probably

326
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: going to have some activity on that front this week.

327
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: So stay tuned at Late Kick Josh on the Socials

328
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: and if you don't know what I'm talking about, again

329
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: at Late Kick Josh on the Socials. But it's also

330
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: just about summer now. Summer means concerts. It's concert season.

331
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: Summer concert season is upon us, and with that I

332
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: have to deliver a heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Tim McGraw.

333
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: Condolences to Tim McGraw and his crew and everyone associated

334
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 1: with him. He's fine, like he's not dead or anything.

335
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: Several of his songs are. He played Chicago Saturday night.

336
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: And the reason I know several of his songs met

337
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: their demise is because Brandon Walker murdered him. Roll it, Colin,

338
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: watch my corn Road every night. Raise a Chance where

339
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: the rocket chance on swim You stop it, Colin, Just

340
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: stop it. I can't take anymore. Just stop it. No

341
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: one at the United Center stopped this. No one that

342
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: the United Center thought to jump in and say, sir,

343
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: can you imagine paying fifteen hundred dollars to take your

344
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: loved one significant other daughter son? I own a mom

345
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: dad to their first ever Tim McGraw concert, and you

346
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: score four seats and you think it's going to be

347
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: the greatest night of your life, and instead you stand

348
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: next to a dude who sounds like he's passing the

349
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: kidney stone. Brandon Walker did more damage in the United

350
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: Center Saturday night than Michael Jordan ever did in his career.

351
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: And that's a fact. So that was released courtesy of

352
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 1: Brandon Walker. Okay, he started texting me the other day

353
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,719
Speaker 1: favorite Tim McGraw song, and you know what, to his credit,

354
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,719
Speaker 1: I will give him credit on this. He and I agreed,

355
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: Everywhere is the best timmocgraw song. And that's not an opinion,

356
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: that's fact. But then I said, what's he asking me

357
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: about Tim McGraw for? And so I searched and oh,

358
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: he went and saw Tim McGraw last night. Oh he

359
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: posted videos. Oh my goodness, the audio wasn't distorted. That's

360
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: just really what happened. He did that in front of

361
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: God and everybody. So, yeah, it's concert season. Careful what

362
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: you wish for people. Let's ask some questions about college football,

363
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: big questions on the horizon as the season is like

364
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: less than ninety days away. Now, what's Alabama gonna be

365
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: post Nick Saban. Everyone's got a theory. I've got a theory.

366
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: You've got a theory. What are they gonna be? Though?

367
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: I'm not just talking about this year, but this is

368
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: specific to twenty twenty four. Is this gonna be the

369
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: kind of team that is kind of like Kaylin de

370
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: Bort Washington, where it's a whole bunch of close games.

371
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: They're still good, but it's a bunch of close games. Hey.

372
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: By the way, Bama had kind of been that way

373
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: over the past couple of years, so that wouldn't be new.

374
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: They were playing a lot of one possession games too.

375
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: It's kind of out of the norm. Are they gonna

376
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: be that? How's recruiting gonna go. It's official visit season

377
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: right now, so they're doing the same thing a lot

378
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: of other folks doing. They're welcoming official visitors on campus.

379
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: I wonder as we get into twenty twenty four, they're

380
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: gonna play Wisconsin on the road pretty early. They're gonna

381
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: have Georgia come into Tuscaloosa in the first month of

382
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: the season, and so so we'll see them in two

383
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: pretty high profile games back to back at Wisconsin and Georgia.

384
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: There's a bye week between those, but we'll see them

385
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: in two pretty high profile games. We'll start to get

386
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: a feel like, what's the Kaalin de bor offense gonna be.

387
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: Like with Jalen Milrod, they brought in Parker Brailsford, who's

388
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: the new center. They had chronic issues snapping the ball

389
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: last year, like the stuff you'd get mad at if

390
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: your pee wee team struggled with it. You had to

391
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: watch Alabama in overtime of a playoff game still struggle

392
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: with it. Is that gonna be fixed? If it is?

393
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: How much better are they going to bed? I had

394
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: some guys like Klin or Caleb Downs walk out the

395
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: door in the transfer portal. Are they still good enough?

396
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: Do you still watch them and say, yeah, that's Bama

397
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 1: Athletically they're still a cut above almost everyone in the sport.

398
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: And then also the aura around the program, not a

399
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: layer of invincibility, but you always knew if Bama's on

400
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: the schedule, it's usually it's gonna take a little bit

401
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: more than we've shown to this point in the season

402
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 1: to beat them. Is that how they feel? You know,

403
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: when you've got Bama on the schedule, do you still

404
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: look at that script A and feel the same way

405
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: you felt, Or do you look at it and say, yeah,

406
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: it's Bama, but it's not that Bama. It's this Bama.

407
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: Time will tell one of the things I'm most excited

408
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: to watch this year, And it's not like twenty twenty

409
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: four is this final referendum on what calin de boor

410
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: at Alabama is going to be. But there's no excuse

411
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: not to win right off the bat when you inherit

412
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: what he gets to inherit, when your program's already ready

413
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: made for you and it gets handed to you no

414
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: sanctions like no debt. The transfer portal exodus wasn't nearly

415
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: as bad as it could have been. They brought in

416
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: some guys, They landed guys like Ryan Williams in their

417
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: first truncated recruiting cycle. Should win this year. I think

418
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: they have the fifth best odds to win the national

419
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: championship this year, so I'm excited to see what they

420
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: make of twenty twenty four. Now go out to the

421
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 1: nation's heartland for a second America's College Football Conference as

422
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 1: I call it. The reason I call the Big twelve

423
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: America's College Football Conference is because it exemplifies a lot

424
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: of what a lot of us claim we love about

425
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: the sport, but also in a much more competitively balanced sense.

426
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 1: I think the Big Twelve is America's college football conference.

427
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: Because you have no earthly idea what the hierarchy's going

428
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: to be. Sure, FanDuel can come out and they can

429
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: tell us will Utah and Kansas State have an over

430
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: underwent total of nine and a half, Then there's Kansas

431
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: at eight and a half, and there's Arizona. They can

432
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: do that. FanDuel can give us the odds to win

433
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: the Big twelve. But what happens when we look at

434
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: the odds to win the Big Ten or the SEC

435
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: There are favorites and there's like a tier one, and

436
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: then there's a huge drop off in the Big twelve. Utah,

437
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: Kansas State, Kansas, Iowa State, Texas Tech, Arizona, Oklahoma State, UCF,

438
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: they're all in a lead pack. And then there's another

439
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: two of them TCU in West Virginia. That is two

440
00:22:54,040 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: for six, eight ten teams out of thirteen with odds

441
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: of better than plus two thousand to win the conference.

442
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: So my question is will we see any of those

443
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: teams actually separate and my answers. Probably no, that's my guess.

444
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: At least I don't have an answer yet. But Utah

445
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: is gonna come in there as the odds on favorite

446
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: to win the conference their first year in the conference.

447
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: Is that actually the way it goes down? Does Kyle

448
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 1: Whittingham come in and teach some of the same lessons

449
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: in the Big Twelve that he had been teaching out

450
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: there in the Pac twelve? Is that the way it

451
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: goes down? Will a team like Kansas State continue to

452
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: roll but not just roll? Do they actually elevate? Is

453
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: there a moment in November where we look at a

454
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: team in the Big Twelve and say, you know, they're

455
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: playing better ball, substantially better ball. They have separated they're

456
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: better than anyone else in that conference because that's rare.

457
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: We don't see that much in the Big Twelve. And

458
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: when you take Texas and O you out of the equation.

459
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: I think there's oxygen that's like pumped into the room.

460
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: It's the same we were just talking about saving a

461
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: second ago. When you take that coach out of the

462
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: room in the SEC, there's a lot of oxygen in

463
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: the room. So does it get distributed evenly to the

464
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: remainder to the rest of the guys there or to

465
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: someone chomp it up. Well, it's the same in the

466
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: Big twelve. You got a lot of oxygen in the

467
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: room right now, does it get dispersed evenly? Or does

468
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: Kansas state? Does Iowa state? This TCU? Does someone make

469
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: a move to make us two or three years from now,

470
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: say you know once Texas no you left? And you

471
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: know who made a big move, Texas Tech. They made

472
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: a leaps and bounds improvement. Maybe it was gonna happen anyway,

473
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: but boy, it's hard to ignore. They really red the

474
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: engine wants Texas No you left. We'll see I got

475
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 1: to go to South Bend. Someone said I have not

476
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: talked Notre Dame enough. Do we agree with that? By

477
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: the way, I thought we've talked Notre Dame a fair

478
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: amount on the show. Nevertheless, it is one of my

479
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: big questions for twenty twenty four. Is this going to

480
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: be the same Notre Dame or a new Notre Dame.

481
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: Same old Notre Dame's not a bad thing. Same old

482
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: Notre Dame would simply mean they're one of the ten

483
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: best teams and ten best programs in the country. Same

484
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: old Notre Dame will also mean I keep saying that,

485
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: and people will keep coming at me in the mentions

486
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: and say, no, Notre Dame's overrated, and then we'll get

487
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: into that hole back and forth, and we'll end up realizing, no,

488
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: they're properly rated because no one's ranking them or rating

489
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: them in the top four. That's it, like an age

490
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: old debate on the show. If you're new, if this

491
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: is your first time watching, and I'm speaking so redundantly

492
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: and monotonally, it's because we've been down that road a

493
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: thousand times, Like I can't be put in Notre Dame

494
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: at number eight and you tell me they're overrated, and

495
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: then I ask, well, where are they rated number eight?

496
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: Like why shouldn't they be rated number eight? Well, they

497
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: can't beat Ohio State. Well, Ohio State's like number three,

498
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: so they shouldn't be beating Ohio State. Nevertheless, Marcus Freeman's

499
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: got a really good team this year. It's also the

500
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: era of the expanded playoff. I think Notre Dame will

501
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: make the playoff this year. They are minus one seventy

502
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: to make the playoff. Now that's I guess great news.

503
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, depending on your perspective. I guess it's

504
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: great news, but there's that thing here that's also present

505
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: with a team like Penn State. We've got teams who,

506
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: on one hand, we know could change nothing about themselves

507
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: and be good enough in a twelve team era, whereas

508
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: they weren't quite good enough in a four team era.

509
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: But that assumes that making the playoff carries the same

510
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: value that it used to. Well it doesn't. We may

511
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: pretend it for a couple of years, but by twenty

512
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: twenty six or twenty seven, you're going to realize, Hey,

513
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: there are a bunch of teams that are landing like

514
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: number nine seeds or number ten seeds, and we celebrated

515
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: them the first couple of years, but now we've come

516
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: to realize, why are we celebrating something now that we

517
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,239
Speaker 1: wouldn't have celebrated. It's the same caliber of play that

518
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 1: we used to see. It's just we lowered the bar.

519
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: Therefore they're able to clear the bar now, and then

520
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: they keep getting beaten once they get in the playoff. Well,

521
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: that's my question with Notre Dame, is that what they

522
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: become Do they become a team because the bar gets

523
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: lowered a little bit they clear it more frequently. And

524
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: Notre Dame had made the playoffs a couple of times,

525
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, really really good program. They had

526
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: already made the playoff a couple of times, even in

527
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: the four team era. Really good. However, this is a

528
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: team that kind of profiles as one who will be

529
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: there every year. Is it just a bunch of one

530
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 1: and done. Is it just a bunch of well, you

531
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: don't have a conference to win, You get in the

532
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: playoff and you get bounced in the first or second

533
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: round and that's it. Or conversely, do we see this

534
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: new era of Notre Dame football where they're a legitimate

535
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: national championship player because those two things are not the same.

536
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: Capable of hopping in the playoff versus a national championship contender,

537
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: those are two totally different things. And then there's that

538
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: whole other argument that people have had forever of will

539
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: they or won't they ever join a conference? And everyone's

540
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: dug in like an Alabama tick, as Jesse Ventura says,

541
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: everybody's dug in on that one way or the other.

542
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: But the one thing that I guess theoretically could move

543
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: the needle on that, there's a rule. Right now, you're

544
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,239
Speaker 1: not locking down one of those first four seeds, and

545
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: therefore a first round by unless what unless you win

546
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: your conference. Well, Notre Dame doesn't have a conference to win.

547
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: So there's a world, of course where Notre Dame goes

548
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: ten and two and they get the eleven seed and

549
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: no one thinks about this. But there's also a world

550
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: that we have a twenty twelve redo. Notre Dame goes

551
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: undefeated in the regular season. Imagine Notre Dame being number

552
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: one in the country and they're undefeated, and then come

553
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: playoff time, the best they can be is number five

554
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 1: because they can't be one of the top four seeds.

555
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: And they agreed to this. This is not some breaking

556
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: news to them. They signed off on it. They agreed.

557
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: They said, yeah, we understand we could never have a

558
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: first round by We get it. We're maintaining our independence. Well,

559
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: they may very well feel that way. There's no way

560
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: to truly test that theory. Just like a dam, there's

561
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: no way to know if that thing's fully fortified until

562
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: we put some water pressure on it. I'd kind of

563
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: be interested to this world where Notre Dames number one

564
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: or number two in the country, undefeated, great season, better

565
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: than a lot of teams that are gonna get buys.

566
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:08,719
Speaker 1: But they don't get one, and they have to go

567
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: play some red hot team in the first round, and

568
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: even if they win, they get banged up. And when

569
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: they go into the second round and they play arrested

570
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: Ohio State and they get beaten over time, and they're

571
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: sitting there thinking to themselves, Wait a minute, did we

572
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: just cost ourselves a shot at the national championship for

573
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: the sake of independence? The answer maybe yes, And then

574
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: the follow up question is is independence that important to us?

575
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: And for a lot of them it is. I've never

576
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: been mad at Notre Dame's independence, never had a problem

577
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: with it. I don't have a problem with it now,

578
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: But as the world of college football changes, I'm just

579
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: openly curious if that were to go now in that

580
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: way this year or any other year, is that enough?

581
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: Is that enough to change some minds? And here's one

582
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: to think about. Uh, we normally don't do this in June.

583
00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: I'll do it though the college football hot seat right now?

584
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: How would you describe it? It's kind of weird right

585
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: now if you think about it. Which names out there

586
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: major college football major programs. Who's on the hot seat.

587
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: Some of you would say Billy Napier at Florida, Okay.

588
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: Some of you would say Sam Pittman at Arkansas, Okay,

589
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: Dave Randa at Baylor. Totally fair. Keep going, Keep going

590
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: because we just mentioned three programs and none of them

591
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: have an over underwin total at FanDuel of even six.

592
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: They're all below that. So keep going? Is my question

593
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: out there? Like, who else is on the hot seat?

594
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: It was Neil Brown at West Virginia, but they won

595
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: nine games last year. He's not on the hot seat.

596
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: Neil Brown could contend for the Big twelve this year.

597
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: Who's on the hot seat? It's really weird because if

598
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: you think about it, it's not the norm in college football. Normally,

599
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: we come into the season and there's a half a

600
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: dozen to a dozen guys any given year who you're

601
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: looking at, and you're Sam do or die season for him?

602
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: And yet here we are and we're smack dab in

603
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: the middle of the dawning of a new era. So

604
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: we're going to a twelve team playoff. We got more

605
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: money being pumped into the sport than ever before through

606
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: media rights deals, coaching salaries, continue to escalate. They've never

607
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: been bigger than they are right now. That is not

608
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: a recipe for continued tranquility. So my thought on this,

609
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: my theory on this, is the hot seat scene is

610
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: about to drastically change itself this year. I don't know

611
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: who's going to be victimized. I think the better question

612
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: for us to ask, if you're interested in this sort

613
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: of thing, is not who's on the hot seat. Those

614
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: answers are pretty evident. I think who's one bad season away?

615
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: And that answer expands the circle exponentially, because this is

616
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: college football, and we all know a lot of folks

617
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: are one bad season away from losing their job. But

618
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: I think with the bigger money and the bigger playoff

619
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: field and the ability to overhaul your roster, quicker patience

620
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: has never been thinner. If you're allowed to pay kids,

621
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: and now we're distributing revenue shares to them, and twelve

622
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: teams make the playoff and we can go overhaul forty

623
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: fifty percent of our roster in one cycle, there's no

624
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: excuse to be bad for a long time. So therefore,

625
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: if patience is running thin, how am I sitting here

626
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: in June? Thankfully? I get to say it. But how

627
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: am I sitting here in June and saying not very

628
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: many guys in the hot seat. Believe me, that is

629
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: about to change. A lot about this sport is unpredictable,

630
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: not that that's about to change. Zanesville, Ohio kind of

631
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: sort of the place to be this weekend. Zanesville, Ohio

632
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: was where we opened a brand new Academy Sports and Outdoors.

633
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: Yes we did. Now, I didn't physically go up there

634
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: and cut the tape at the door or anything like that.

635
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: But what I did do is I said, I'm picking

636
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: five of you. If you confirm to me that you

637
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: were there at the grand opening, picture of the receipt,

638
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: picture of you in the parking lot, picture of you

639
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: in the store, I don't care. Go go dap up

640
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: one of the cashiers and give them give a shout

641
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: out on the show. I don't care. If you prove

642
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: to me you were there, five of you are gonna

643
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: get Achalllice of supremacy. So this is just an example.

644
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: If you're listening on podcast, these are the kind of

645
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: submissions that we get. We grab two of them. I

646
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: could have grabbed like a dozen of them. These are

647
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: the kind of submissions we get anytime there's a new

648
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and out Doors opening. Now, I gave two

649
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: chowli away already out of in the interest of fairness,

650
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: in the interest of fairness, and we are nothing on

651
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: the show if we're not fair. I've hit the pause

652
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: button because I'm giving you, guys one more day. I've

653
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: got a bunch of submissions I'm sitting on right here,

654
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: so we could give out one hundred chalai right now

655
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: if we want it to. I'm gonna give you time.

656
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: If you haven't already made it to the Zanesville, Ohio

657
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors during the grand opening this weekend,

658

662
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: But however you want to do it, and probably tomorrow morning,

663
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: I'll pick the other three and Chilai of Supremacy will

664

Speaker 1: a chalice of supremacy. I promise because the offers, while

667
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: not seven figures, have been pretty substantial. For those bad boys.

668
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: You can only get them through special giveaway as I

669
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: see fit at my discretion on the show. Now, as

670
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 1: for those of you who don't live in Zanesville, Academy

671
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: Sports and Outdoors is still the place for you. This

672
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: is a QR code. If you're gonna shop Academy, do

673
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,720
Speaker 1: it through our QR code. And if you can't snap

674
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: the QR code, just look in the show description. Right

675
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 1: here on the YouTube channel, there's a link purchase until

676
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: your hardest content. Just go through those. Now I needed

677
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: a wagon, well, excuse me, A lovely lady in my

678
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: life needed a wagon the other day. So what we

679
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: did is I love to go in person to Academy.

680
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: I just had her buy through the link online and

681
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: then set it for pickup instead of delivery. So we

682
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 1: went to pick it up. But even then we worked

683
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: through the QR code. So even if you're going to

684
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: go in person, buy your stuff through the QR code

685
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: or the link and then go pick it up in person.

686
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 1: It's a lot quicker, it's more efficient, and you help

687
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: the show remain free of charge to you. We appreciate

688
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: as always our friends at Academy Sports not doors. Okay,

689
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: we continue because it is June, but it could be

690
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: April or May or July and it would still be

691
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: Bold Prediction Season. Colin, here's your endpoint. Bold Prediction season

692
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 1: is rolling on. What do you believe and believe so

693
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: fervently that you would bet your own money on it?

694
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: For the college football season this year, there is I

695
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: would say, almost unprecedented boldness in this batch here tonight.

696
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: Think about this one. Got the new expanded playoff? Right?

697
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: Alexander from Charleston, South Carolina, says, the SEC champion is

698
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: the only SEC team in the playoff's final eight, So

699
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: that would be the quarterfinals. That's the second round. He's

700
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: telling me, only one SEC team is standing in the

701
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,439
Speaker 1: second round of the playoff. Well, that's a nine point five,

702
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: my friend. That's very bold. That's a nine point five.

703
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,919
Speaker 1: If you predict something and it lands nine point five

704
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,760
Speaker 1: or bolder and it hits, I'm sending you with challice

705
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 1: of supremacy. One team is automatically there. I don't know

706
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: if you realize that the SEC champ is already gonna

707
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: be there because they're gonna get a first round by

708
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: so already the best you can do is push here.

709
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 1: And that's what you said. You said, the Champ's gonna

710
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: be there, but that's it. No other SEC teams, okay,

711
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: So that means no at large teams from the SEC

712
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: are gonna make it. Hey, there's a half decent chance

713
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 1: that two SEC teams play each other in round one,

714
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: which means, by default, one of them has to make

715
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: it to the second round in addition to the champ

716
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: that's already there with the buye, so that would be

717
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: a loser. Just out of the interest of curiosity, we

718
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: went to FanDuel and we looked at the odds the

719
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: SEC team's odds to win the whole thing. The SEC

720
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: begins the season in the playoff odds with the number one, three, five, six, seven, twelve, thirteen, fifteen,

721
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: and nineteen team, And you're telling me they're sending one

722
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 1: to the second round. I don't buy it. That's a

723
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 1: nine point five on the boldness scale. Next up, we

724
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: go to Morgantown, West Virginia for this prediction. It's a parlay.

725
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: Joe also from Charleston, says West Virginia wins nine to

726
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: ten games. That's part one. They upset Penn State to

727
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: start the season. That's two, and they end up in

728
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve championship game. That's three. And then there

729
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: was a hypothetical about the quarterback in the Heisman. But

730
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna go one, two, three. This is essentially a

731
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 1: three leg parlay. All of these would be at plus odds.

732
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 1: Let's break them down one at a time. We already

733
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: have a line on the Penn State game. So West

734
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 1: Virginia faces Penn State to begin the season. Now it's

735
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 1: a home game. That's the good news. The bad news

736
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: is you're a ten point dog in that game. So

737
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 1: if chalk holds already the prediction's blown up, you're over.

738
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: Under win total is six and a half. So if

739
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna win nine or ten games, you've got to

740
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: go substantially over that. Pauls on that number three, you've

741
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: got the ninth best odds to win the Big Twelve,

742
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,439
Speaker 1: and yet you're gonna check into the Big Twelve championship game. Now,

743
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: obviously some of this is redundant. If they're good enough

744
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: to beat Penn State, that means they may very well

745
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: be good enough to go over their win total and

746
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: get up there in the nine wins ten wins range.

747
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: If they're in the nine or ten win range, then

748
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 1: that means they're probably in the Big twelve championship game. Hunt,

749
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 1: I just don't know if I feel this to that degree,

750
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: I am up. I am up on West Virginia to

751
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: that degree. It's tough to say this is a nine

752
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: point twenty five on the boldness scale. That you may say,

753
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: how could that not be a nine point five or

754
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: a nine point seventy five. Well, when doing bold predictions

755
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: in this conference, remember the golden rule. On this show,

756
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: it's the Big twelve. There is no bold prediction in

757
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 1: the Big twelve. Quite literally, anything can happen in the

758
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: Big twelve. Can anything happen in the Big ten? Our

759
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: next bold predictor thinks so Cody from Athens, George just

760
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: says Michigan will go under nine and a half wins. Well,

761
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: that's not bold, that's just a bet. I appreciate it, Cody.

762
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: I know that sounded kind of jerkish. I appreciate the

763
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: submission there, but that's their over under win total. Michigan's

764
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: over under win totals nine and a half, so I

765
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: know it's heavily juiced to the under, So this is

766
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: technically not even a fifty to fifty proposition. The implied

767
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 1: odds there suggest that you're making closer to like a

768
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: fifty five percent probability prediction, which means it's it's unbold,

769
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 1: it's kind of calm. It's a calm prediction. They lost

770
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback, head coach, both coordinators. They play five of

771
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: the top twenty five playoff odds teams. They play three

772
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:09,720
Speaker 1: of the top five playoff odds teams. They're dogs versus Texas,

773
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,439
Speaker 1: their dogs versus Ohio State. Probably will be a point

774
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: spread underdog against Oregon, though let's hold off because that

775
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: game's not until November. This is like a five on

776
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: the boldness scale. If Michigan goes nine to three, it'd

777
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: be a pretty good year. It'd fall below Michigan fans standards,

778
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 1: but it'd be a pretty good year. If they go

779
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: nine to three, this prediction hits. This is not a

780
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: bold prediction, but it's a prediction that I thought we

781
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: should put in the show. And lastly, what would it be?

782
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: What would a Sunday night show be without a ten

783
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: on the boldness scale. Daryl from Fort Lauderdale, Florida says

784
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: the ACC champ Florida State will face the Big Twelve

785
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: champ UCF in the College Football playoff. Oh wow. Okay,

786
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: so this is a ten on the boldness scale, and

787
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you why. Few reasons. Number one, one

788
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: of these elements is out of their control. Even if

789
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: both of them make the playoff, they've still got to

790
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: be paired with each other, like they've got to find

791
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: each other in the playoff. Florida State's got to win

792
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 1: the ACC. That's not a big deal. They're the current

793
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,320
Speaker 1: odds on favorite to win the ACC. UCF's got to

794
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,720
Speaker 1: win the Big Twelve. They are the eighth best odds

795
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: team in the Big Twelve to start the season. So

796
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 1: just that part happening, that's a big deal. Both of

797
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: them win their conference championships. But here's the other part.

798
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: Remember if both of them win their conferences, they're gonna

799
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: have first round bys, so they're not playing in the

800
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: first round. So that probably end up playing went in

801
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: like the semi finals because they wouldn't play in the

802
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 1: second round. You can't be paired up in the second

803
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 1: round either, because you're one of the top four seeds.

804
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: So the earliest they could face off is a semi

805
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 1: final game. That means both of them have to not

806
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: only win their conferences, make the playoff, with the buy

807
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: win their respective first playoff games. Then they still have

808
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: to be paired up. That's too much for me. So

809
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: that's a ten on the boldness scale if that one happens. Though,

810
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: if that one happens, you guys are not prepared for

811
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,479
Speaker 1: the messaging that will come out of Orlando, Florida, because

812
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: these folks went to the Peach Bowl in twenty seventeen

813
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,479
Speaker 1: and claim they won the national championship, and every single

814
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 1: one of you got that hook squarely in your lip.

815
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: They still got you. They still got you. Today, they

816
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: put that banner up in the stadium. I was down

817
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: there a couple of months ago. I was walking around

818
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: the stadium the bounce house as they call it, and

819
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: there it was two thy seventeen national champions. Oh it's great,

820
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: it's I get it. I refuse to be victimized by

821
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: the UCF twenty seventeen title discussion, but many of you

822
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,399
Speaker 1: are victims. It is the Bowl version of the Sarah

823
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: McLaughlin special. It is the playoff version of the Sarah

824
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,320
Speaker 1: McLaughlin special. You might as well have Colin just lay

825
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 1: the soft piano bed and a lot of you start

826
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: yelling into the air at the clouds about UCF and

827
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: how they weren't national champs. Well, if they make the

828
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,280
Speaker 1: playoff and win, win the Big twelve, make the playoff,

829
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: win a game in the playoff, and then they're facing

830
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 1: off against Florida State. Don't, first off, don't even let

831
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: them get that far. But if they beat one of

832
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: the big boys in state in a playoff game, and

833
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,240
Speaker 1: keep in mind, they will have already I believe, played

834
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: Florida this year. So what happens if they beat Florida

835
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: in the regular season and then beat Florida State in

836
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: the playoff? Jesse, do they play Miami this year? I

837
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: don't think they do, and I know Jesse doesn't have

838
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,800
Speaker 1: Miami's schedules scribbled on his hand. It would be a

839
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: very toxic situation for everyone who is not UCF. It

840
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: would be a good time for you, guys. So in

841
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,720
Speaker 1: the interest of your own sanity, judging by how twenty

842
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: seventeen ended for you, I would just go ahead and

843
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,399
Speaker 1: say take care of them, take care of them. Before

844
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: him yeah, they don't play they don't play Miami. They

845
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: do go to Iowa State on October nineteenth, which has

846
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: no place in this discussion whatsoever. But I still felt

847
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: the need to decide that, all right, let's move on. We

848
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,280
Speaker 1: got several more things to get to, very pressing matters.

849
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: Even though it is June. I'm looking at the live chat. Always.

850
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 1: Anytime I look at the live chat, it's out of context.

851
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: Like I look over here, Joe just said the SEC

852
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: is done. I have no clue what that means, but

853
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 1: thank you, Joe. What are some other producer? Jesse isn't real.

854
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: He's a bot. That actually may be true. Anyway, I

855
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,240
Speaker 1: appreciate you guys being active over there. Just make sure

856
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: if you're here, make sure you're subscribed. And if you're

857
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:36,280
Speaker 1: listening on podcast and it's Monday morning and you're traveling

858
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: to work in Tara Hate, Indiana, thank you, good people

859
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: in Tara Hate. Just make sure you're subscribed to the podcast.

860
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: That's it. Nothing else needs to be done on your end.

861
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:52,439
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Let us move on. It's that time.

862
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna go ahead and get into this. Okay, So

863
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: Blake Brockermeyer did a really good breakdown. I thought over

864
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:00,439
Speaker 1: in twenty four seven sports dot Com about the best

865
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: offensive line units in the country coming into this year,

866
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: and he went really in depth on it. A lot

867
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: of this stood out to me because I couldn't pick

868
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,760
Speaker 1: it apart. Like I looked at it and said, yeah,

869
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: that pretty much sounds spot on. Now, I'm not going

870
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 1: to go through the entire top ten, like Oregon's in here,

871
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 1: Miami's in here, Ole miss Missouri, They're all in here.

872
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 1: But I wanted to start in his top six, and

873
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: I just wanted to go down this list right quick.

874
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 1: Bama's at number six. So Alabama brings back Tyler Booker

875
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,399
Speaker 1: and Jade and Roberts. Those are probably two of the better,

876
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: if not maybe the best interior offensive line combos in

877
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: the country. Caden Proctor is not at Iowa anymore. That

878
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 1: was just a vacation, so he went to Iowa. But

879
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,280
Speaker 1: now he's back, So you took care of left tackle.

880
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: They imported Parker Brailsford at center from Washington, who was

881
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: the center on the Joe More Award winning unit last year.

882
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: So this is going to be a pretty good unit.

883
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 1: Now my question, and Blake said, the same thing is

884
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 1: not do they have frontline guys, They're good. They will

885
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: be one of the best offensive lines in the country

886
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 1: one through five if anyone goes down, how quality is

887
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,240
Speaker 1: the depth behind them? I have a sneaking suspicion maybe

888
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: the quality of depth on the offensive line at Alabama

889
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: this year may not be quite at the level that

890
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: you're used to seeing it. That may not be a

891
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,720
Speaker 1: long term thing, but given the situation that that staff

892
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: walked into, it's it could be a lot worse. So

893
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: let's take a look at that. Let's take a look

894
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 1: in Knoxville at Tennessee. Tennessee's got one of the best

895
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: offensive lines in the country. This year. They added Lance Herd.

896
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: It was a huge addition. He was basically the third

897
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 1: best tackle at LSU. But LSU's got two of the

898
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: best tackles in the country. So Lance Herd comes up

899
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,399
Speaker 1: there and they can immediately plug him in at left

900
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,720
Speaker 1: tackle because Herd's one of the best tackles in the country.

901
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: It's just that LSU happens to have an abundance, an

902
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,919
Speaker 1: over abundance down there, especially in the portal era, and

903
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,240
Speaker 1: so Tennessee was the beneficiary. But Cooper May's at center

904
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 1: John Campbell junior at right tackle. You've got Spraggings over

905
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: at right guard. Ninety five combined starts between those guys,

906
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 1: and then Dane Davis is their number six. This is

907
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: a really important thing to monitor always, but especially in

908
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,760
Speaker 1: the expansion era where you're just gonna play more games

909
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: if you want to get to where you want to go,

910
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: especially on offensive line. How many guys do you have six, seven, eight,

911
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,280
Speaker 1: How many of those guys do you have that aren't

912
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,839
Speaker 1: just plugging go at their position. How many of them

913
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: are like Dane Davis, who you could count on to

914
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,240
Speaker 1: play multiple positions. How many of them are cross trained

915
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 1: like that? Because he's gonna play. He's not gonna be

916
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,879
Speaker 1: listed as a starter, but he's gonna play. It could

917
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 1: be in spot duty in blowouts, or it could be

918
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 1: in week one you have a guy go down, he

919
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,319
Speaker 1: ends up being your starter the rest of the year

920
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 1: at a position that you already had penciled in for

921
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: someone else. So that's very good because he's very versatile.

922
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:50,760
Speaker 1: Texas absolutely smack dab in the middle of this equation.

923
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: Texas has got one of the best offensive lines in

924
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: the country. Kelvin Banks, to me, is the best tackle

925
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: in the country, and he's been in that conversation ever

926
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,280
Speaker 1: since the day he stepped on campus. The right side

927
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: combo of Campbell and Cam Williams six three three twenty

928
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:10,879
Speaker 1: two and sixty five three sixty respectively, Just run right,

929
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: Just run right, even in the sec just run right.

930
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,399
Speaker 1: It'll work out when all else fails. At Texas this year,

931
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: just run the ball to the right, and you know what,

932
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 1: run into the left. Not a bad idea either. They

933
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: are experienced at center. I think they got really good combat.

934
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: They get competition at left guard, so I don't know

935
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 1: who emerges there. We can pencil it in, but fall

936
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:35,240
Speaker 1: camp will produce a good player there at left guard.

937
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 1: One hundred and twenty three returning starts. Texas is in

938
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 1: a very very good spot. You'll notice there are no

939
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 1: teams I'm mentioning here who's over under win totals like

940
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:47,879
Speaker 1: five or six. But they got one of the best

941
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: offensive lines in the country. It's almost like this position

942
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 1: is very important. Georgia, we weren't going to go very

943
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: long without talking about him. George's got a ton of

944
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: experience here this year. Xavier trust at right tackle twenty

945
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 1: eight starts Ernest Green at left tackle fourteen starts, Dylan

946
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: Fairchild left guard ten starts. Rat Ledge is back again

947
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 1: for the nineteenth year. He's got twenty eight starts at

948
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 1: right guard. Week one against Clemson's a really sneaky good game.

949
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 1: It's not because the point spreads really close. George's favored

950
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: by nearly two touchdowns. But if you believe in the

951
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 1: matchup game, George's offensive line versus Clemson's defront really really good,

952
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: really good. Now. I don't know whether the Clemson can score,

953
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 1: but could be a really really good early test for

954
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,760
Speaker 1: all you know. Maybe it's one of the best fronts

955
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 1: that Georgia faces all year. Who knows, LSU way up there.

956
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 1: LSU's got some questions elsewhere. Offensive line is not one

957
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: of them. The best, one of the best they've had

958
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,360
Speaker 1: come through there in a while. I think this is

959
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 1: the best offensive tackle combo in college football this year.

960
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:56,879
Speaker 1: Will Campbell at left tackle twenty six starts, first round

961
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 1: NFL draft pick Emory Jones at right tackle twenty four starts.

962
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: Thing those guys are the reason that HERB is up

963
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: at Tennessee. Now. Four of their five have twenty plus

964
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 1: career starts to their name DJ Chester. I guess if

965
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 1: you want to try and start asking questions, that's a

966
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 1: guy who's going to be probably plugged in at center

967
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: for them. Not a lot of experience at all there.

968
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 1: But man, outside of that, it's really nice. You got

969
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:28,320
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels going off to the NFL. Garrett Nussmeyer's starting,

970
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 1: but he's not a true freshman, and he's green. He's

971
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: not a true freshman. But this is the offensive line

972
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: he gets to work behind. That's why those guys down

973
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 1: there are pretty excited and confident they can have a

974
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: pretty high caliber run game this year too. Speaking of

975
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: a high caliber run game, who won the Dope Walker

976
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,360
Speaker 1: Award last year? Well, it was Oli Gordon, the second

977
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: at Oklahoma State. And the reason he did that is

978
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 1: because Oklahoma State's got an incredible offensive line. How about

979
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: Blake put in Oklahoma State as the number one offensive

980
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: line in the country coming into this year. And you

981
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 1: know what, I think we've identified the reason he believes that.

982
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 1: Allow me to read the classifications here red shirt, senior

983
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: red shirt, senior red shirt, senior red shirt, senior red

984
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 1: shirt sor Oklahoma State has one hundred and seventy two

985
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 1: career starts coming in just the starting five on their

986
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: offensive line. Cooper there at left tackle forty nine. Actually

987
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 1: these aren't positions, this is just an order of experience.

988
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,399
Speaker 1: Forty nine starts, forty starts, thirty four starts, twenty six,

989
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 1: twenty three. Yeah, that's the offensive line that paved the

990
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 1: way for Gordon last year. They're all back. And you

991
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: know what with that rule they came down with the

992
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: other day where I can't remember the exact wording of it,

993
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: but it's gonna let cam Rising have an eighth or

994
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: ninth year of eligibility if he wants it. Maybe some

995
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: of these guys are eligible for that as well, So

996
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: it's not even a guarantee this is their last year.

997
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: But Oklahoma State in a big twelve where anything could happen.

998
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 1: Don't be overlooking a team that has what ways like

999
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: a five million combined starts on the offensive line. Oh yes,

1000
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: position unit talk. That's how you know we're close. They're

1001
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: watching us in Norfolk, Virginia, Fort Dodge, Iowa, and Destin, Florida.

1002
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 1: Thank you guys so much. I have to be very careful.

1003
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: I have to have to lift myself up. But it's

1004
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 1: not for the reasons. You think. It's because I did

1005
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 1: legs today and the chair I'm sitting in cuts off

1006
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 1: the circulation to my legs, and as you know if

1007
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: you've watched or followed for a while, I suffer my

1008
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: grain esque leg cramps. Many of you have sent remedies.

1009
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, but they still fall short sometimes, and

1010
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 1: so I have to be very careful because the slightest

1011
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 1: move the wrong way in this chair could tie my

1012
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: hamstrings up for dozens of minutes and render me incapacitated,

1013
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: and we'd have to end the show. And we have

1014
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:47,839
Speaker 1: a drill. I have a hand signal for Colin if

1015
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 1: it ever comes to that. It's the same hand signal

1016
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,399
Speaker 1: they use in WWF if a guy gets hurt. It's

1017
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 1: just that right there. So I hope we don't have

1018
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: to use it, but to avoid it, I have to

1019
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: raise myself up. I have to let the circulation go.

1020
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 1: And again, these are problems we shouldn't Colin, we should

1021
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,880
Speaker 1: not be dealing with these problems. We came here in

1022
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 1: twenty twenty and then producer director Colin and I had

1023
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:14,439
Speaker 1: to hang out at the studio all by ourselves cause

1024
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 1: everyone else went home for COVID, And it was back

1025
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 1: then that we said, man, imagine one day if we

1026
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,720
Speaker 1: ever make it. This is the most consumed college football

1027
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 1: show in digital media, and we still have chairs that

1028
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: cut your circulation off, Like what at management? Where are

1029
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 1: you the impact freshman in college football this year? It's

1030
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: a list so long we didn't even get to all

1031
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 1: the ones we need to get to. The other night,

1032
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 1: I didn't even talk about Colin Simmons. Colin Simmons is

1033
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: an edge guy at Texas, and you went throughout Spring

1034
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 1: and we kept here an impact player, Watch out for Simmons,

1035
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 1: impact player. He exited Spring in the too deep at edge.

1036
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 1: And the thing about it is kJ Bowlten's the same

1037
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 1: way at Georgia. Like a lot of these guys would

1038
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: clearly start at most places in the country. If you

1039
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: come in and you're in the too deep at Texas

1040
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 1: or Georgia or anywhere like that, as a tr true freshman,

1041
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: you are cream of the crop. You are some of

1042
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,839
Speaker 1: the best of the best. And so Colin Simmons, we

1043
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 1: think he fits that description. Sixty three, two thirty four.

1044
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 1: He's a five star, number four edge guy in the

1045
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four cycle. Yes, both eyes. We have on

1046
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:19,240
Speaker 1: Colin Simmons, Josiah Thompson or Yeah Thompson. Gotta be careful

1047
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 1: name pronunciation because if I drop at Josiah Thomas, I

1048
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 1: will never hear the end of it. Josiah Thompson at

1049
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 1: South Carolina number he was a four star number two

1050
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: offensive tackle in the country this past cycle. Got to

1051
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 1: play immediately, is what it is. South Carolina was bad

1052
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 1: on all fronts last year. Offensive line, they couldn't run it,

1053
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: they couldn't protect, and they've got to use true freshman.

1054
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 1: He's coming in. He repped with the Ones in the spring,

1055
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 1: so there was no guesswork, you know, there was no

1056
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:50,359
Speaker 1: earn it, even though technically you've got to earn it.

1057
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 1: But he is being counted on as the starting left

1058
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:57,240
Speaker 1: tackle for them this year. South Carolina needs help. They

1059
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 1: need more than just this, but they need him having

1060
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: three hundred pounds, They need him to be everything. They

1061
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,400
Speaker 1: thought he was in recruiting and it looked like he

1062
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,320
Speaker 1: was in spring. So not knocking him, I'm just saying

1063
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 1: there aren't a lot of other options there. Elijah Lofton

1064
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: at Miami is not a name I think a lot

1065
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 1: of folks are talking about only because he wasn't even

1066
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: one of the five highest rated guys in Miami's class.

1067
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 1: He was the number ten tight end in the class.

1068
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: But the thing about it is, I will never say

1069
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 1: star ratings are meaningless. They're the opposite of that. But

1070
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:33,240
Speaker 1: you find out the most when guys get on campus.

1071
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 1: And Elijah Lofton got on campus and he surprised a

1072
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 1: lot of people. Well, maybe he surprised outsiders, maybe the

1073
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:43,479
Speaker 1: staff knew what they were getting the whole time. He's versatile. Okay,

1074
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: so here's what's happening. Last year, I told you I

1075
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:51,280
Speaker 1: thought Elijah Arroyo was gonna break out. I thought Arroyo

1076
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 1: was going to break out. Then he got hurt and

1077
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,400
Speaker 1: he couldn't really fulfill on what I still think is

1078
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:59,359
Speaker 1: immense potential. So Arroyo, we think is healthy this year.

1079
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,240
Speaker 1: So you may think to yourself, Okay, if Arroyo's healthy,

1080
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 1: Elijah Lofton's not going to play well. If he didn't

1081
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 1: know to play other positions, he probably wouldn't stand in

1082
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:10,359
Speaker 1: line to play a lot. But they had him at

1083
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: h back, had him some wide receivers, some running back.

1084
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:16,800
Speaker 1: During the spring, very versatile. Swiss army knife type and

1085
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 1: so somehow, some way, I think Elijah Lofton is going

1086
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,880
Speaker 1: to be an impact true freshman for Miami this season.

1087
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:26,280
Speaker 1: Their tight ends had eighteen catches total last year, horrible,

1088
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:27,879
Speaker 1: So it's got to be a lot better this year.

1089
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 1: And I think it will because a lot of that's

1090
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 1: injury related. And we mentioned this guy earlier in the show,

1091
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 1: Ryan Williams at Alabama. Ryan Williams was not an early

1092
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,439
Speaker 1: in roll lead, unlike all these other guys we're talking

1093
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:42,400
Speaker 1: about spring practice. Ryan Williams wasn't there in spring for Alabama,

1094
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 1: but he was the first big recruiting win for Kaylen Debor.

1095
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: He's played in Bryanton Any Stadium because that's where they

1096
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 1: played the playoffs, so he's a summer arrival. The wide

1097
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 1: receiver room had a few departures like Isaiah Bond. You know,

1098
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: one of the byproducts of the portal era is you

1099
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 1: go to make one of the most memorable plays in

1100
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 1: Iron Bowl history and then you lead the team. It

1101
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 1: is what it is. But this is a guy that

1102
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 1: they've gotten in now much like some of the other

1103
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 1: ones we're talking about. The playing time is there, but

1104
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: it is Alabama as well, So It's not like they're

1105
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 1: looking and saying, well, Ryan Williams has got to come

1106
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: in and Carrious or else we're screwed. Eight and four.

1107
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: Here we come. It's not that, but there's going to

1108
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 1: be an opportunity here and I think he'll seize it

1109
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: and I think he'll be a big time player eventually

1110
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 1: for them this year. Remember, as Mima always said, the

1111
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 1: season does not end in week one. The season begins

1112
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:35,120
Speaker 1: in week one. So if he's not starting, in other words,

1113
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 1: against whoever they play in week one, if he's not

1114
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 1: catching five balls a game by early October, we're not

1115
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 1: writing them off. It's not an early and roll league.

1116
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: I care about November. What's he doing in November if

1117
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: he's healthy, And I think Ryan Williams would be doing

1118
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 1: a fair amount for Alabama in November. So yes, there

1119
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 1: are impact freshmen all over the place. We just humbly

1120
00:57:55,560 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 1: try and find them on this show. Just circulation adjustment.

1121
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. Bama Jesse would they have they

1122
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 1: had the fifth best odds to win the title. Georgia

1123
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 1: currently has the best odds to win the title. I

1124
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 1: mention all of these things and you can find them

1125
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 1: at FanDuel. FanDuel is the exclusive odds provider of our

1126
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 1: show of Pate State of the entire University, and we

1127
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 1: appreciate them. They cook up a lot of stuff over there. I,

1128
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 1: as I've said many times over the past couple of months,

1129
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 1: am a particularly big fan of the yes no propositions

1130
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: to make the playoff, because now it's not just go

1131
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 1: bet them if you think they're gonna make the playoff.

1132
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 1: You can go bet teams if you think they're not

1133
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 1: gonna make the playoff. And of course the higher they're rated,

1134
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: the better return you can get on that investment. Like

1135
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: if you think Texas is going to miss the playoff,

1136
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 1: you can go make a lot of money betting that

1137
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 1: right now. Make sure it's money you have because you

1138
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 1: may very well stand to lose it, but you can

1139
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 1: go bet that right now. So we appreciate FanDuel, always have,

1140

01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 1: end every show this time of year. The mood tracker

1165
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 1: is quite simply taking a temperature of the fan base,

1166
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: how they feeling tonight we're doing Georgia. The mood at

1167
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 1: Georgia is sort of like a first on the frontier

1168
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 1: sort of mood. We don't really get to experience this

1169
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 1: anymore because we've seen everything there is in the United States,

1170
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 1: But once upon a time folks were sort of seeing

1171
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 1: it and saying, there's where is everybody? Wow, this is

1172
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 1: just wide open. We can go. We can go explore,

1173
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 1: we can go catalog things, chart things, claim you can

1174
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 1: do that as well. Anytime you're new at a party,

1175
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 1: you walk in and there's a buffet over here and

1176
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:58,959
Speaker 1: no one's touched it yet, you realize, Wow, I'm first

1177
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 1: at the party. Now some people people say it's lame

1178
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 1: to be first at the party, but if all the

1179
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 1: food is untouched, that's not lame, especially if you're like

1180
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 1: me and you know you're going to leave early. Georgia

1181
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 1: is kind of looking over the frontier of college football.

1182
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 1: Got a new college football playoff era. You've got a

1183
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 1: new era in the SEC with teams coming in. You've

1184
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 1: got a new coaching era with Nick Saban no longer

1185
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 1: being here. You've got a new rules era where revenue

1186
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 1: sharing is part of the equation. And basically, in any

1187
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 1: of those categories you look in, you ask who's better

1188
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 1: position than Georgia. Georgia is the best position program in

1189
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 1: the country right now. The last five years in recruiting

1190
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 1: they finished first, fourth, third, second, first on the field

1191
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:44,040
Speaker 1: last five years twelve and two, seven and three in

1192
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 1: the COVID year fourteen and one, national title fifteen and

1193
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 1: oh national title thirteen to one, played in the SEC

1194
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 1: championship game last year. They're already rolling. It's not like

1195
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 1: I'm predicting anything crazy here. But now you get to

1196
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 1: the new frontier and you look at Clemson and every

1197
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 1: one's asking questions about whether the Clemson is still going

1198
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 1: to be around, is Clemson's still Clems And they're not

1199
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,120
Speaker 1: asking that about Georgia. I've seen a lot of, for

1200
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 1: some reason over the weekend, comparisons between Kirby and Dabo.

1201
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 1: I don't even know the context there. I have no

1202
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:13,640
Speaker 1: clue where it came from, So you guys, do with

1203
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 1: that what you want to. They're not talking about those

1204
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 1: two programs the same way, though, there's no question about

1205
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 1: the trajectory of Georgia. The biggest blessing here is Kirby Smart,

1206
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 1: which I know sounds very common sense cool, like people

1207
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 1: listen to that and say, oh, what duh, you're telling

1208
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 1: us Kirby Smart's good. What I'm telling you is, even

1209
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 1: the people who think he's the best in the game,

1210
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 1: some of them don't get how good he is. You

1211
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 1: see him win on Saturday. I truly think it's lost

1212
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 1: on a majority of people because, quite frankly, unless you've

1213
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 1: seen it up close, you probably can't fully appreciate what

1214
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 1: it takes to have a program operating at this level,

1215
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 1: a major college football program. I'm not telling you how

1216
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:02,560
Speaker 1: hard it is to win a title. Teams have done

1217
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:05,200
Speaker 1: that before, coaches have done that before, and then five

1218
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 1: years later you're asking what happened. I'm talking about taking

1219
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 1: one that hasn't cruised at that level consistently. They've been

1220
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 1: at a really good level, have them cruise at an

1221
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 1: elite level and then not get drowned by complacency. That

1222
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 1: alone come what may on the field. That alone is

1223
01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:28,600
Speaker 1: one of the biggest accomplishments that you can have in

1224
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 1: high level competition, and Kirby's done it. We were there

1225
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 1: this spring, we sat down with him. He was on

1226
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 1: the show for like thirty forty minutes or something like that,

1227
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 1: and I was asking how much of being a coach

1228
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:42,840
Speaker 1: can you not know about until you become a coach?

1229
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 1: He said about ninety percent of it? And then I

1230
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 1: ask him, you guys failed to meet your expectation last year.

1231
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: Was it complacency or did you just not have the

1232
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 1: ball bounce your way? And he explained it pretty methodically.

1233
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 1: I don't think there was an ounce of complacency. I

1234
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 1: don't think they deal They have not dealt with that there.

1235
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:03,480
Speaker 1: I don't think they've dealt with that on a large

1236
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 1: scale at Georgia. That's the biggest credit. Kirby never had

1237
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 1: a head coaching job before he was there, so it's

1238
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:13,360
Speaker 1: not like he brought decades of experience in. He's learned

1239
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:16,160
Speaker 1: on the fly. He's just I don't care who he

1240
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:19,160
Speaker 1: learned under Saban had countless other guys go off and

1241
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 1: try it their way and they failed. He's legit that's

1242
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 1: why it's worked for him. I think he may be

1243
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 1: at the best job in the country, but no one

1244
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:30,000
Speaker 1: else has done what he's doing there. So it's not

1245
01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 1: the job that's doing it. It's the dude who has

1246
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 1: the job who's doing it. And I know everyone looks

1247
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 1: at him. And if you look at any given power

1248
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 1: rating of head coaches right now, chances are Kirby's number

1249
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 1: one or number two, probably number one. I don't think

1250
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 1: those folks even really get how good he is. It's

1251
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: just so unfathomable. Number one, how hard it is to

1252
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 1: win consistently, even if you recruit top classes every year.

1253
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:58,600
Speaker 1: Just how hard it is to win. He says that

1254
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 1: stuff all the time. Some folks call on it. He's right,

1255
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:04,480
Speaker 1: He's right. It's insanely hard to win, even if you

1256
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 1: got the more talented roster. We score in threes and

1257
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 1: sevens in this game. Ball bounces really funny ways. Injuries

1258
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 1: happened at the most inopportunity of times. Being good comes

1259
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 1: with the cost. Everyone puts the crosshairs on your forehead.

1260
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 1: So there are a million consequences to that success. But

1261
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 1: the winning is one thing, but the sustaining man it's

1262
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 1: so hard. You could be in business, it could be

1263
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 1: in football, it could be wherever you want to talk about.

1264
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:32,840
Speaker 1: The default in everyone's mind now, though, is we got

1265
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 1: to go through Georgia. And that's the way they talked

1266
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 1: about Bama. For a long time under Nick Saban, didn't

1267
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 1: matter how good you thought a team was in August,

1268
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 1: whether it was LSU or maybe it was Tennessee, maybe

1269
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 1: it was Georgia, you always knew in the back of

1270
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 1: your mind, Hey, we're good. I think we're really good.

1271
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 1: We're probably gonna have to go through Alabama at some point.

1272
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:56,480
Speaker 1: Well now they think that about Georgia. We're good. Ohio

1273
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 1: State right now, think we got the best team in

1274
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 1: the country. You know, I'm sure Texas feels really good.

1275
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:06,439
Speaker 1: But you know what Texas knows. Texas knows we're gonna

1276
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 1: have to go through Georgia. Quite literally, they're coming to

1277
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,360
Speaker 1: our house. Ohio State got a taste of it. A

1278
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Ohio State played an a game.

1279
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:17,720
Speaker 1: One of the best games I've been to was that

1280
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 1: playoff game semi final in Atlanta. A couple of years ago. CJ.

1281
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 1: Stroud played the best game of his career, and it

1282
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 1: wasn't enough. I was talking to Jesse about this before

1283
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 1: the show. Do you have any idea how many times

1284
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:34,960
Speaker 1: Ohio State actually loses that game? If they play their

1285
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:38,000
Speaker 1: A game, Ohio State wins that thing nine times out

1286
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 1: of ten, because you have no business being within single

1287
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 1: digits of Ohio State with Stroud at quarterback and that

1288
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:46,600
Speaker 1: roster is loaded as it is. If they play their

1289
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 1: A game, Ohio State plays their A game, Stroud plays

1290
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 1: like a maniac, and Georgia somehow Someway still wins, still

1291
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 1: finds a way to win. That's in the back of

1292
01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 1: your mind every year, no matter how good, we are,

1293
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 1: to go through Georgia at some point. Now, maybe you will,

1294
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 1: maybe you won't, but that's the default in everyone's mind.

1295
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 1: That's how you know you're the standard in college football.

1296
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 1: People compare themselves to you at Georgia. They don't compare

1297
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:14,480
Speaker 1: themselves to anyone but a standard. That's because you're the standard.

1298
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:18,640
Speaker 1: So the mood amongst Georgia fans obviously is pretty confident,

1299
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,840
Speaker 1: pretty confident, and they're very well positioned even being on

1300
01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 1: this sort of new frontier. Now that's not a guarantee

1301
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:28,400
Speaker 1: of anything. Kirby may never win another national title, so

1302
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 1: it's really hard to do. He may win four of

1303
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 1: them because he's well positioned to do so. There are

1304
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 1: no knowns, but the certainty in this sport is Georgia

1305
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 1: will be in the mix every year. And that's all

1306
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:42,440
Speaker 1: you can ask for. All I can ask is that

1307
01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 1: you watch the show. I really appreciate it. Thank you

1308

1309
