00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 3: I'm a man, I'm for I've heard so many players say, well,

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 3: I want to be happy.

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: You want to be happy for dake Edo State?

6
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 4: Is that? Woo whoom? And then and Tye, welcome back

7
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 4: to the solid verbal boys and girls, name is Ty

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 4: hilde Brand joining me as always mind Dan Rubinstein over

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 4: there in the NYC, Sir, how goes it?

10
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: Not that well?

11
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: Ty? What?

12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: It's not that good? I think it's good is what

13
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: I'm looking for.

14
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: No, it's.

15
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: I've gotten used to I've gotten accustomed to a certain lifestyle, okay,

16
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 1: and that lifestyle is getting great feedback from a live

17
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: audience when we do this show. Okay, and now I'm

18
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: just speaking into a wall with soundproofing, and it's not

19
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,319
Speaker 1: as fun. I don't get to see you, I don't

20
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: get to sit next to you, I don't get to

21
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: meet for ballers, I don't get to see people's faces

22
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: as they continuously ask Nate Stanley questions ironic. So it's

23
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: just different, Ty, and I'm getting used to it.

24
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, to that point, Dan, we did do our show

25
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 4: in Chicago. That show that we did in Chicago will

26
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 4: be released on August the twenty second, So a whip

27
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 4: from this evening. A great show, great crowd at the

28
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 4: historic Videom Theater in beautiful Chicago, and had a chance

29
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 4: to go out meet other folks during the Tenders with

30
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 4: Tie segment of the evening. If you listen to the

31
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 4: broadcast when we push it out, you'll get to hear

32
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 4: a little bit more. I'm sure we'll provide some context

33
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 4: for what I did during our unrecorded Q and A

34
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 4: segment in order to make good on something I said

35
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 4: a year ago. But all in all, a really good show,

36
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 4: definitely the kind that gives us the itch to do

37
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 4: more of them, so naturally that is something we're going

38
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 4: to explore moving forward.

39
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: But I thought just an awesome time.

40
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 4: Beautiful weekend in Chicago, and great to meet some ofverballers

41
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 4: real quick.

42
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: Himmickcane wants to know how many tenders is ty hilden

43
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: Brandt official did Tilting officially consume?

44
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 4: I believe the answer is two and a half. And

45
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 4: can I be honest with you here, Yeah, wasn't too

46
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 4: enamored with the tenders, Dan.

47
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: They were fine.

48
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 4: They were very dry, extremely dry, and two and a

49
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 4: half is all I could all I could force down.

50
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 4: How are the tots though that I ordered a lot

51
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 4: of tots are very good. We were sitting at a

52
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 4: table with some Notre damers and also some others who

53
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 4: were at the show, and as I was turning to

54
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 4: talk to other people, they were surreptitiously stealing the tots.

55
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: That's how that happens. And then I heard difficult.

56
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 4: I caught them and they looked at me as if

57
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 4: they were deer in headlights, and I said, that's okay.

58
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 4: You could just don't eat them all, because I knew

59
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 4: you wanted some too. But of course the tots were

60
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 4: very good in a popular attraction at the table.

61
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: When you order tots, there is a tot tax that

62
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: has to be paid, and I don't know if you

63
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: fall under if you're a progressive taught tax or tie

64
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: if you're a more conservative fiscal taught tax or I

65
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: don't know, but there is a toat tax that must

66
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: be paid when tots appear at tables. Wow, I said

67
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: that all correctly.

68
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 4: You just came up with that on the flight, didn't you.

69
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 4: I did, just Yeah, that was pretty good.

70
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: Think about I think about time. There's also fry taxes

71
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: and taught taxes, whatever, great time in Chicago. As you mentioned,

72
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: the show will be up next week. Going to be

73
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: doing more shows. We're going to look into doing some

74
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,399
Speaker 1: shows maybe at smaller venues, not full on theaters during

75
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: the season, at bars and places where we can drink

76
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: with everybody while everybody else is drinking. But certainly just

77
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: encouraging in a magnificent time. So thanks to everybody who

78
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: came out, quick, quick, before we get into the Q.

79
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: And a couple things. Yeah, I am now doing videos

80
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: and writing pieces and appearing on TV ish what for

81
00:03:53,400 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: the Action Network breaking news? Okay, so I'm doing a

82
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: couple different things from what I have been doing these

83
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: past few years. This coming fall in the video realm

84
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: and one of those things I am pleased, excited, pumped,

85
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: jazz enthused to be doing things for the Action Network,

86
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: which is a sports gambling website network platform started by

87
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: former editor in chief of ESPN dot com Chadmilman. They

88
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: might be familiar and the altar of Dan is now

89
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: in the central most point of the college football gambling discussion.

90
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: You're really putting this to the test here. Am I

91
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: going to lose people money? But no, I'm mostly been

92
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: doing video, but I'll also be writing a couple columns,

93
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: and they have a nightly show called I'll Take That

94
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: Bet on the ESPN Plus app So that's something that

95
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: you already have because you plan on watching college football

96
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: games on there because they're streaming a bunch of them,

97
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: or other shows. Friend Ariel Ariel Hawani does his MMA

98
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: show on there, among a bunch of other things. I'm

99
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: not selling ESPN Plus right now. I'm just telling you

100
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: where I'm going to appear. The first one is up

101
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: tonight as we record this Wednesday late afternoon with our

102
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:15,679
Speaker 1: pal Jeff Schwartz.

103
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 4: Awesome, Well, congratulations, sir. I know it's been a long

104
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 4: time coming. I know you do good work. Obviously, I've

105
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 4: been here for quite some time with you, so I know,

106
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 4: yeh elber of what you're doing.

107
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: Looking forward to seeing it.

108
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: That's great.

109
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: Yes. Other housekeeping which is definitely not shouldn't be classified

110
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: as housekeeping. Tie. So while we were in Chicago, news

111
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: broke about Maryland. Yeah, and the Maryland program, which, in

112
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: the wake of an offensive lineman's tragic death a few

113
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: months ago, Jordan McNair first placed strength and conditioning staff

114
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: on leave. Has since they've since fired or at least

115
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,119
Speaker 1: reached a separation agreement with their strength and conditioning coach

116
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: and coach dj Dirkin is on leave not just because

117
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: of the Jordan McNair tragedy, but also because of a

118
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: number of stories and cultural and systemic issues that have

119
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: been brought to light in an ESPN piece that are

120
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: now being investigated. Some horrifically ugly situations, obviously none more

121
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: serious than the Jordan McNair one. And it has been

122
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: pretty ugly all all around.

123
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 4: So yeah, Dan sort of caught us a bit by surprise,

124
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 4: but I suppose we're going to have to wait and

125
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 4: see what happens here.

126
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think the most important thing is to react,

127
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: whether it's media, whether it's fans, whether it's whoever, to

128
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: react within the context of, Hey, a person died needlessly

129
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: because of overtraining, because warning signs were not heated or

130
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: even seen, and people have been quick, not the least

131
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: of which is Will Muschamp, who understands how this all works,

132
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,679
Speaker 1: both from a coaching perspective and a media perspective, who

133
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: was quick to say something sort of smart. We criticized

134
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: the performance, not the performer. That seems to make sense,

135
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: and then went on to criticize stories with anonymous sources,

136
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: which obviously the the anonymous Maryland staffer staffers who brought

137
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: this to light did so because of a fear of

138
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: retribution and wanted to make sure that whatever whistle blowing

139
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,679
Speaker 1: was going on was heard and verified and vetted, which

140
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: you know ESPN has has pretty stringent standards for that.

141
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: So it brought out some ugliness at least in him

142
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: and some people willing to attack attack the concept of

143
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: anonymous sources, who, by the way, Will Muschamp has one

144
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: hundred percent been an anonymous source. And I understand you know,

145
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: Will Muschamp worked with DJ Dirkin, and you know his instinct,

146
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: as it is the coach's instincts in a lot of

147
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: cases to come to the defense of fellow coaches, whether

148
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: or not they've worked with them or not. There is

149
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: somewhat of a fraternity situation in that world, you see,

150
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: Like when an NBA coach gets fired, Greg Popovich will

151
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: say something like, you know, it's always the coach's fault.

152
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: He's not the one out there shooting threes and missing them,

153
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:24,239
Speaker 1: you know. But it did strike me as very easy

154
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: for Will Mussham to have a human reaction to say

155
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: what happened was tragic. If these allegations are true, I

156
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'd be really disappointed. The DJ Dirk and

157
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: I know is not somebody who would be involved in

158
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: something like that. So I'm hoping for the best for

159
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: him and the program, even though it's, you know, a

160
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: little bit generic. Whatever. You have to as a person

161
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: in a responsibility position, a responsible position, you have to

162
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: be able to say things like a grown up. And

163
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: that's the disappointing thing that we have, these people that

164
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: are tasked with being grown ups, and there's just a

165
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: failure to do that. Jordan McNair should be alive, and

166
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: should be alive for another sixty seventy years. He's gone.

167
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: And so we've got a couple questions in our Q

168
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,599
Speaker 1: and A that are more serious things like how do

169
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: you root for Maryland if you're a Maryland fan given

170
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: the allegations? And at my first thought like how do

171
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: you root for South Carolina now that your coach has

172
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: you know, been an idiot about the whole thing. The

173
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: players don't have really anything to do with this, like

174
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: Ty Johnson has nothing to do with the alleged atrocities

175
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: at Maryland and whoever it is. You know, I just

176
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: I want the Maryland players to succeed in spite of

177
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: the crappy thing. So it's a very strange situation. And

178
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: hopefully everywhere, you know, as we've had these strengthen you know,

179
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: this conditioning stuff over the past few years at a

180
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: school I love the University of Oregon last year with

181
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: the rabdough Iowa, a couple of years ago with the

182
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: rabdo whatever. These things keep popping up. Hopefully there's more oversight,

183
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: there's a better understanding, there's better training, there's better indicators

184
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: when players are struggling and how to deal with situations.

185
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: And you know, football is tough. You know, to sort

186
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: of craft really good football players, you have to instill

187
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: a certain amount of toughness and stamina in them. And

188
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: the guys that are tasked with doing this need to

189
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: be able to know lines and that I think is

190
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: a problem.

191
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 4: All right, Well, we'll see what comes of this, Dan,

192
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 4: There's no doubt more coming. We heard from Maryland within

193
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 4: the last couple of days about the status of its

194
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 4: strength coach, and my guess is that we'll be hearing

195
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 4: more we'll do our best to try and keep everyone

196
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 4: up to date with what's going on, at least as

197
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 4: best we can here on the podcast. As for the

198
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 4: rest of the content, tonight, we are doing a mega

199
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 4: Q and A show, Dan, and by mega I.

200
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: Do mean mega Congratulations there it is.

201
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 2: You've got mail.

202
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: You've got mail on the solid ruble.

203
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 4: So what we've been trying to do all off season

204
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 4: is one of these shows per month. We haven't done

205
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 4: one in a while because we've been busy doing conference

206
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 4: previews in the light. But now as we've got some

207
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 4: open air here where we can really catch our breath

208
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 4: and get down to the heart of the matter, we've

209
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 4: decided that tonight will be part one of our Q

210
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 4: and A show, and Sunday will be part two. We

211
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 4: wanted to make sure we had a chance to feel

212
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 4: the number of questions before we actually get into start

213
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 4: picking games, which we're gonna do.

214
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: I guess two three weeks now that sounds reasonable.

215
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 4: So with that being said, Dan, what is our first question?

216
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 4: Who's our first caller?

217
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 2: Here?

218
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: Let's go to It's always funny looking at the names

219
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: because we ask on Facebook and then we get people's

220
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: real names. We ask on Twitter, and sometimes we get

221
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: people's real names, and then we ask on Reddit and

222
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: there are no name, no names. So let's start here

223
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: because I think it's a good question. We some possum. Yeah, okay,

224
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: who is your quote perfect storm team? A school who

225
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: parendally fields a good team, but due to a number

226
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: of factors, there's reasona believe this year is going to

227
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: be their year to do something big before things perhaps

228
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: calm down and return back to normal. So who is

229
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: above average essentially that could win double digits, perhaps flirt

230
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: with the playoff, or even go to the playoff, you know,

231
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: in November, December, et cetera. So that's sort of leap. Okay,

232
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: so I've got a few. Okay, who are yours? So

233
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: as we go across college football, you first have to

234
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: look at well, we're looking at Power five conferences unfortunately,

235
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: because it doesn't really apply the way the system is

236
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: built right now to a group of five teams. But

237
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: I don't think I have anybody in the ACC. I

238
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: think it would not be a surprise.

239
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 4: I guess Miami, Well, Miami might qualify here. I don't

240
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 4: think I believe in them as a perfect storm team.

241
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: But MII Miami is a national championship program.

242
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

243
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 4: The only team that I really believe in in the

244
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 4: ACC is Clemson at this point.

245
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: But that's not a surprise.

246
00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 4: Sing.

247
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: I'm talking like a perennial nine point two win team

248
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: suddenly becoming eleven point two.

249
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't believe in eleven point two? Is my

250
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 4: point for Clemson, No for Miami. Oh, okay, that's fine.

251
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 4: I have a couple I think in the Big Twelve.

252
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: I don't think West Virginia has the defense, even though

253
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: they qualify under the first like seven to eight win

254
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: every year kind of team. I'd probably lean into Oklahoma

255
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: State and TCU.

256
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 4: TCU, I could see. Oklahoma State scares me a little bit.

257
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: They're both quarterback de Pennant with Nuke starting quarterbacks this year.

258
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 1: I like the experience Oklahoma State has on both sides

259
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: of the ball. TCU has continuity on both sides. I

260
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: love their skill talent. Their quarterbacks seems if he's even

261
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: pretty good, should be pretty plug and play. They've had

262
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: success against top teams in the conference, perhaps outside of Oklahoma,

263
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: who they themselves have a new quarterback. So schedule wise,

264
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: TCU has both Oklahoma schools at home, which it's love.

265
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: So I think TCU is the answer in the Big twelve.

266
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: In the Big ten, I don't know if there's a

267
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: team that qualifies that I could see making that.

268
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 4: Was there a Michigan State that we could put in here.

269
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: I guess it would be Penn State.

270
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 4: It could be Penn State, could be Michigan State, one

271
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 4: of the two.

272
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: Penn State has not won a national championship in the

273
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: modern era, hasn't been really that close. I mean, they've

274
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: flirted with playoff stuff the past couple of years, but

275
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: you know, they weren't really in and at the end.

276
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: But you don't according to the.

277
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 4: Question here, you don't need to have won a national championship.

278
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 4: He says, a school who has perennially fielded a good.

279
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: Team, good but not great is how I interpreted that. Okay,

280
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: So I think Penn State could qualify. I like their

281
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: schedule a good amount. I think they have a bye

282
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: week between Michigan State and Ohio State. They have Michigan

283
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: on the road, but they have Wisconsin at home in

284
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: consecutive weeks, and they have what I consider to be

285
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: not necessarily a national championship. But that playoff duo of

286
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: really good quarterback, really good defense, potentially really good defense.

287
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 4: Got a bit of a blow today, which I suppose

288
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 4: we could have mentioned at the top. But Ryan Buckle

289
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 4: it's retiring due to injury concerns, which is I didn't

290
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 4: see that. Yeah, it's going to affect Penn State's depth

291
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 4: along the defensive front a bit unexpected and unfortunate. We

292
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 4: wish him well, but Penn State's got some holes to

293
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 4: plug on that defensive side of the ball. I think

294
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 4: they'd be a good answer. I also think Michigan State's

295
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 4: a good answer. Michigan State brings so many back.

296
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: They've been to the they've at least been to the playoff.

297
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: Though they've they've made that lead again. You're making up

298
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: prerequisites here, Dan, I am because I'm interpreting.

299
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 4: I'm saying perfect storm Michigan State. I could feel it

300
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 4: this year. That's what I'm interpreting.

301
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: It says, who should be looking to surprise us and

302
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: pop off a few more wins than usual and maybe

303
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: land themselves in the New York six or excuse New

304
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: Year six or possible playoff game or the New York six.

305
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: Michigan State has been to the Rose Bowl a few

306
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: times recently they've been to the playoff. I'm not I'm

307
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: excluding your actor can disagree, stricken from the record, even

308
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: though I'm right.

309
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 2: You're wrong.

310
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: That's fine. Where we go? What's name like? One more team,

311
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: one more team that has been pretty good recently, that

312
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: could make the lead to very good. I don't know,

313
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: that's all I mean it. If Stanford has a much

314
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: better defense than what at least I think they'll have,

315
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: that would probably Notre Dame could be an answer. Here

316
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: went to the National championship game six years ago. Again,

317
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: not a prerequisite in the question. Now my interpretation tie again,

318
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm right here. This is carrying at the fabric of

319
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: the pot some apossum and I go way back. All right,

320
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: let's go to the next question. Next question, biggest quarterback

321
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: controversy to watch for. So my interpretation of Patrick's question, okay,

322
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: is which quarterback situation will most dramatically go back and forth?

323
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: Who has a short hook? Who?

324
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 2: You know?

325
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: Once they look a little bit shaky, gets pulled, but

326
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: then the new guy doesn't look great, and so then

327
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: they're flopping all over the place like fish in the wild. Tie,

328
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: who is what is the quarterback controversy, not battle, but

329
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: controversy controversy. Huh.

330
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 4: Yes, Well, I looked at this and my initial thought

331
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 4: was the Clemson situation as a whole, because Kelly Bryant

332
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 4: started every game last year and got Clemson pretty damn far,

333
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 4: got him to the playoff. Right now, you've got Trevor

334
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 4: Lawrence breathing down his neck, and I could definitely see

335
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 4: a scenario in which Trevor Lawrence gets the call at

336
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 4: some point a couple games into the year and as

337
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 4: a true freshman, maybe he isn't fully ready for primetime,

338
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, Dabosweeney has created a controversy

339
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 4: where if he just went with Kelly Bryant from the start,

340
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 4: he wouldn't have had one, or at least not to

341
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 4: the same degree.

342
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: I think that's right, But there is an element to

343
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: that of Trevor Lawrence being a true freshman. Sure, and

344
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: so the expectations on Trevor Lawrence, even though they are

345
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: super high because of the hype he comes in with,

346
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: there is that element that they're not going to immediately

347
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: give him a tough to shoulder.

348
00:17:58,400 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 2: Sure.

349
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: My answer, my answer is probably Alabama, and it's an

350
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: easy answer, but allow me to explain. It's the biggest

351
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: magnifying glass in college football, coached by the most well

352
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: known and perhaps most successful college football coach of all time. Dramatically.

353
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: The stage has already been said dramatically with the National

354
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: Championship Game transfer rumors, Jalen Hurts saying that you never

355
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 1: heard from coaches and he doesn't like necessarily how he

356
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: was treated as a leader of the team. Tua comes

357
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: in is obviously magnificent in the second half, in overtime

358
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: of that game. But here's the thing. Jalen Hurts has

359
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: been successful, two has been in small sample sizes successful,

360
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 1: and there's this looming transfer. Can I make up a term?

361
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: By the way, that came into my head the first

362
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: thing I saw this question, Sure, Jalen Hurts feels like

363
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: a plans for a plan, Okay, a plan to transfer right,

364
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: Like he is sort of a lame duck here. And

365
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: so there is an element of Jalen Hurts knowing he

366
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: has had huge success only getting on the field. Perhaps

367
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: situationally he's unhappy we've got a new offensive coordinator. Situation

368
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: at Alabama. There's there's a ton of variables with Alabama.

369
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,239
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna tear apart the fabric of

370
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: the Tide, but I think you can get into some

371
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: dramatic back and forth here. I think that's probably. I

372
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: don't think it's Michigan shape Patterson, Brandon Peters. I don't

373
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: think it's UCLA with Wilton Spade and whoever the freshman

374
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: or Devin Modster. I think it's still probably in terms

375
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: of spiked blood pressure, people getting talk shows excited, I

376
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: think it's still Jalen Hurts Intua.

377
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 4: Okay, I could see how you'd make that case. I

378
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 4: think he's got whoever the quarterback is more around him.

379
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 4: That takes a little bit of pressure off that quarter

380
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 4: of situation. So yes, if there's a reason to think

381
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 4: it's not Alabama, that could be it Also second consecutive

382
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 4: question where the answer could be Notre Dame throwing that

383
00:19:58,440 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 4: out there as well.

384
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: No, that's a huge magnifying glass. And Brandon Wimbush the

385
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: way he ended the season. I know you are throwing

386
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: a third name after Ian Book into the mix.

387
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 4: I'm not officially throwing Filger Kovic in there. I think

388
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 4: you like saying the words filter COVID. You know what

389
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 4: I'm proud of myself. I figured out how to say

390
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 4: his name a couple months ago, and now I just

391
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 4: enjoy injecting him into the conversation, even though I know

392
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 4: sure practically speaking, he's not going to be a candidate

393
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 4: for that role, at least until halfway through the year.

394
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: Ty, Yeah, Dylan wants to know. Yeah, what are Ed

395
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: and Lisa McCaffrey feeding their children to have four college

396
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 1: slash pro football players? Well, how does it look on

397
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: the Colorado schools that they can't recruit them? Well, obviously

398
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: the answer is not good on those schools. I listen,

399
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: it's incredible, and I think it's a lot of this

400
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: is on the mother. You know, you see these guys

401
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: who have or these women that have pro athlete parents.

402
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 1: A lot of the time it's because both parents are

403
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: excellent athletes. Here's my question to you. I assume at

404
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: this point you and solid wife Kate have had discussions

405
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: about children in the future, as have Jody with an

406
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: I and myself. Do you have a number of children

407
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: you'd like? Ty, I'm not doing this to put you

408
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: on the spot in a familial sense.

409
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 4: There have been discussions, but none that I will divulge here.

410
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 1: On the podcast. Do you have an upper number? Would

411
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: you have more than three?

412
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 2: Oh?

413
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: God, no, okay, no, so we're talking one or two?

414
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: Maybe three?

415
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 4: No, No offense to anybody who's in that category, but

416
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 4: that's you're speaking for yourself.

417
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: Too rich for my blood. Yeah, I'm on the same page.

418
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: Probably not more than two. We'll see if I gave

419
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: us collectively, the host of the solid verbal an over

420
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: under of zero point five children progeny becoming Division I athletes,

421
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: not football Convision one athletes. Where is your money?

422
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 4: Probably under it's Kate a good athlete. I'm just gonna say,

423
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 4: probably under Dan.

424
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: That is the I can tell you right now. Jody

425
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 1: with and I is not a good athlete. Yeah, And

426
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: that's why I brought up the mother element of this.

427
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 4: So if in fact it happens, it's because a hilden

428
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 4: Brandt child inherits my defensive specialist jeens as it relates

429
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 4: to baseball or my golf swing.

430
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 1: Do you are there any hilden brand Calarusso's formerly Division

431
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: one athletes. I have one distant cousin who actually played

432
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: tennis at Maryland, so I have that. I'm trying to

433
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: think about of any others and I don't believe I do.

434
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 4: Actually, there is a history in the solid Wies family.

435
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: Oh, cret Ty. The gene pool while shallow swimmable, very swimmable, indeed, okay,

436
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: good to know. Yeah, I'd probably put you ahead in

437
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: that possibility. So this is going to be a twenty

438
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: to twenty eight year to follow.

439
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 4: Alongst the long con that we're playing here on the

440
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 4: podcast this evening.

441
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: This year, we're looking to see if cal is elite

442
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: every week and if certain coaches are sexier than Randy Edsel.

443
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: The long con is whether or not a hilden Brandt

444
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: Rubinstein child makes the minor leagues. Here we go, Jeff

445
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: wants to know, although there's still some time left in camp,

446
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: the consensus to win the quarterback job at USC as JT. Daniels.

447
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: Do you think this is a positive or negative for

448
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: their season? Is this a reflection on how good he

449
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: truly is or can bey or does it point to

450
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: the mediocrity of Sears and Fink, which, by the way,

451
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: all of my money is tied up with Sears and

452
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: Fink right the mutual funds they are producing year and

453
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 1: in year out. The yields are tremendous. Continue.

454
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 4: I don't think it's either a positive or a negative.

455
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: For the season.

456
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 4: I don't know is there a reason to look at

457
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 4: it one way or the other.

458
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: JT. Daniels comes in with a lot of acclaim well

459
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: that he's so young and with no experience in practice

460
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: beyond this fall and summer work.

461
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 4: But if he's the guy, if he's got the higher upside,

462
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 4: I think it would be more of a longer term

463
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 4: positive for USC to go that direction, get him some

464
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 4: meaningful experience now and build on that later. USC is

465
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 4: going to have a really good team again. But I

466
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 4: don't know if we're under any illusions that they're going

467
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 4: to win the Pac twelve and go to the playoff,

468
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 4: They're gonna go to a bowl game. They'll be just fine.

469
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 4: But if JT. Daniels is the starting quarterback, I don't

470
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 4: view that as a negative thing. I view that as

471
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 4: him being the best guy for the job.

472
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: Yes, and so early reports out of USC are that

473
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: it's not just that the other quarterbacks aren't good. I

474
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: haven't really seen anything about that in what limited stuff

475
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: I've read, it's that J. T. Daniels has been really,

476
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: really good, which is and should be super encouraging for

477
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: USC fans, like Jeff has formed a really good bit

478
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: of chemistry with Get Ready for This one, Tie Aimon

479
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: Ross Saint Brown, yep eqes little brother's right causing trouble,

480
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: and that is that should be scary to everybody in

481
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: the PAC twelve South and beyond in the conference because

482
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: when you have a sensational true freshman quarterback and a

483
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: top level incoming receiver and they have a couple of

484
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: really good receivers, I think it's more of a situation

485
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: that Sears and Fink are more on the Cody Kessler level,

486
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,239
Speaker 1: which is fine and serviceable but not game changing. So

487
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: if JT. Daniel starts and goes down, I don't think

488
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: USC will be dramatically worse, just not as good, if

489
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: that makes any sense.

490
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 4: All Right, So we got a random question emailed into

491
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 4: us here, not specific, but Dan, what is the worst

492
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 4: injury you have ever suffered?

493
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: The worst injury I have suffered. I've sprained a couple

494
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: of ankles playing basketball. The only time I've broken a bone,

495
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: and I think I've told this story on the show,

496
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: is when I have the growth plate in my left

497
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: pinky shattered and it has not grown at the rate

498
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: it should have since seventh grade.

499
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 4: And that was due to a friend of yours at

500
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 4: the time, right.

501
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: Due to a friend of mine. I've also when I

502
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: was like four years old, I jumped head first into

503
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: a glass coffee table and split my head open. That's

504
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: probably the answer.

505
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 4: Man, this is a good question here. I've got a

506
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 4: bunch of really good ones.

507
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 2: Oh.

508
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: I thought this was like leading to an injury question

509
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: with college football, but I like this. I'll curious about

510
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: our bodies.

511
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 4: Actually I can't go somewhere with it, but oh, the

512
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 4: question here. To answer the question here, I blew out

513
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 4: my shoulder twice, needed reconstructive shoulder surgery, so that's probably

514
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 4: the winner. But I've done all sorts of crazy stuff

515
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 4: in hyper extending elbows and nearly tearing ligaments elsewhere in

516
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 4: the body. I guess reconstructive shoulder surgery would probably take

517
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 4: the cake.

518
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 2: Care.

519
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty good. I think that's pretty good. I

520
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: think that wins.

521
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 4: And actually I didn't mean to go here with this,

522
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 4: but you know, we've been talking a lot about the athletic.

523
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: So smooth over the last couple of weeks. I swear

524
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: to God, I didn't mean to go here with them,

525
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: but I know it's just in your bones. It jogged

526
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: my memory. You're reconstructed bones.

527
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 2: That's right.

528
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,239
Speaker 4: We've been talking a lot about the athletic here, and

529
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 4: I saw a really fascinating article this week from Seth Emerson,

530
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 4: noted Georgia writer about how the process of repairing an

531
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 4: ACL has evolved over the course of time. And while

532
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 4: the thing was right, yeah, we've talked about it on

533
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 4: the show before, right, and we'll I'm sure give out

534
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 4: the URL here for how people can jump on in

535
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 4: if you're interested. But one of the most interesting things

536
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 4: that I found in that article is how repetition just

537
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 4: doing the surgery, going through that procedure of repairing an

538
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 4: ACL over the course of many years has drastically reduced

539
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 4: the recovery time. Initially you got out of the ACL,

540
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 4: you're out like eighteen months. Now there are guys on

541
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 4: the Georgia roster who are looking at like eight months

542
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 4: and they're able to practice without restrictions, which is really

543
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 4: a feat of modern science to know that we're at

544
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 4: this point now where again you get out of an ACL.

545
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: That's a problem.

546
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,160
Speaker 4: But the level of detail in this story talk talking

547
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 4: about how they've evolved that process to the point now

548
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 4: where recovery is much better now than it used to be.

549
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 4: The process itself is so much better than it used

550
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 4: to be. That to me was quite illuminating. So I'd

551
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 4: encourage everyone to go on out there and check that

552
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 4: out from Seth Emerson.

553
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm really glad I did not see this in early

554
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight after Jeremiah Johnson tour is need

555
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: Dennis diickxonaur is the like at the ACL because it's

556
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 1: amazing and this is you know, even well who was it.

557
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: It was Adrian Peterson who came back even stronger. And

558
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 1: what is incredible is how these guys figure out the

559
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: rehab element. It's not as much and the surgery I

560
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: think has obviously come a long way. But what's set

561
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: did a really good job of because a lot of

562
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: times when you have a quarterback who has a big injury,

563
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: or you have any player who has a big injury,

564
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: and let's say the injury happens in November and they're like, well,

565
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: they should be good to come back by fall camp

566
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: next year, and it's just sort of out of sight,

567
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: out of mind. And I really like the human element

568
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: of this piece that like, okay, there's hydrotherapy here. They

569
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: wait ten days to actually operate on the knee crazy

570
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: to show the players that they'll still have range of motion,

571
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: to like give them confidence, psychological stuff that goes into it. Yeah,

572
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: it was super interesting. It was plain, it was easy

573
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: to read, it was clean. There are pictures for dumb

574
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: people like me. Also, I should note knee talk with

575
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: Seth dot Com is available if you're listening Seth Emerson.

576
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: Knee talk with Seth dot com. If you want dot club,

577
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: if you want dot org, if you want dot biz.

578
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: You can probably get dot triple x if you really

579
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: wanted to costume war. But yeah, it's there, Knee Talk

580
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: with Seth dot Com twelve ninety nine right now. So no,

581
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: it's a very cool thing because I know Georgia fans

582
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: are very curious losing a couple running backs. Zamir White

583
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: comes in the number one running back is practicing as

584
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: you mentioned, without any hesitation or any limitation, and Seth

585
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: does a good job about how guys like Zamir Whites,

586
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: who could play a role this season, how they're getting

587
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: from point A to point BE physically, and that is

588
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: I think that's a difference maker. And to your point,

589
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: if you've been waiting to pull the trigger, you're Georgia fans.

590
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: I swear to you, I didn't intend on going here

591
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: with it, but I love it ty. It just it

592
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: just kind of rolled out the tongue.

593
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

594
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:19,000

Speaker 1: Let's go to Drew. Hello, do you have any advice

617
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: for a first football season with a new girlfriend?

618
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 2: Oh? Boy?

619
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: For some background, we are both fans of preseason top

620
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: ten teams that are in different conferences. That's good, that's

621
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: very power couple. Yeah, a little humble brag there from Drew.

622
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: Our teams have no national rivalry and would only play

623
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: in a bowl game or the playoffs this year. However,

624
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: her team is a team that I have historically strongly disliked.

625
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: So he is dating a noted AIME fan noted noted.

626
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: To make things more complicated, her best friend is related

627
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: to her school's head coach. She is best friends with Brian.

628
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm Kelly's daughter.

629
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 4: So you're assuming that Notre Dame's a preseason top ten team,

630
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 4: which is giving?

631
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: Are they not? I don't think so. I haven't seen

632
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: the top. Okay yet, but they want Jim Harbaugh one

633
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: of Jim Harbaugh's kids. Okay, I think they might be

634
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: too young. Okay, any advice, ty, this is they're a

635
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: power couple. I don't understand.

636
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 4: Like, I don't think there's any trouble here at all.

637
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: No, there's a good life.

638
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 4: There's definitely like a flirtatious angle for your significant other

639
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 4: rooting for a team either that could play yours in

640
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 4: the playoff or you know that you've historically hated. You

641
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 4: could definitely spin that to your advantage, just in a

642
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 4: romantic sense.

643
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think this is this is a

644
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: great situation. Obviously, both teams are good here. You can

645
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: watch football together. It's great that you share a hobby. Yeah,

646
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: that you share a passion. And if you do end

647
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: up playing each other in the playoff or some sort

648
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: of national championship situation this year, next year, whatever, that's

649
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: it's great too that that that builds the bonds tie. Yeah,

650
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: you're not going to have animus like if like, here's

651
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: the here's the instance I have Oregon in Michigan. Right,

652
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: I am you are you are not married to a

653
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: Power five alumnus?

654
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it does get pretty heated in here

655
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 4: when Notre Dame plays Lee High. But aside Lee High

656
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 4: from that, Yeah, but Oregon did play Michigan in the

657
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 4: NCAA tournament last year, and Jody loves for Michigan Wolverines.

658
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 4: I love my Oregon Ducks. And at one point late

659
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 4: in the game it was a close game, Jody said,

660
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 4: I'm really nervous.

661
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: Hold my hand and I said, no, Wow, I am

662
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: not supportable in that. I'm not mean. I just said,

663
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: you know what, we're going to have to rejoin after

664
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: this tense end. Husband of the Year over there.

665
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

666
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, So what I would say is lean lean into this.

667
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: There's nothing to worry about. Life is good.

668
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 4: Okay, I agree with that. Where are we going next?

669
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: We'll stay on that relative topic. Andrew asked, like forty

670
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: four questions, We're going to answer a couple of them. Okay,

671
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: is Jordan Toamu to Amu to AHM a significant downgrade

672
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: at quarterback from shape Patterson. I'm gonna say no, maybe.

673
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 4: I I that was part of the point that we

674
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 4: brought up earlier in the year.

675
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: Andrew, we kind of don't know, do we. Jordan to

676
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: Amu lit up not great teams in the SEC, and

677
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 1: that's what they kind of had from Shape Patterson. He wasn't.

678
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: He was okay, he wasn't. Not that accurate in the

679
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: egg bowl, you know, losing effort. But I I think

680
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: he's fine. I think he's more than fine. I don't.

681
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: I don't see it as a downgrade really at all,

682
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: if any maybe slightly.

683
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 4: The second part here is is Shaye Patterson going to

684
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,919
Speaker 4: be an impact player from Michigan, to which I'd say, yes,

685
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 4: he will be an impact player. The second part of

686
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 4: his two part question is whether or not Shaye Patterson

687
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 4: will allow Michigan to take that leap to national type

688
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 4: I'll contender, to which I would answer again, I don't know.

689
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 4: Maybe he could be. If he is nearly give me

690
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 4: a good cake, give if he's nearly as good as

691
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 4: Michigan people would hope, then the answer is yes, because

692
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 4: all the other pieces are around him to do pretty well.

693
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 4: He's going to have a cradle to nurture him hopefully

694
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 4: to success and maybe the playoff at a minimum, the

695
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 4: Big Tennis. But I don't know if we have enough

696
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 4: data on Shape Patterson to really definitively say yes or no.

697
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: I am sitting at the table. I have a place, Matt,

698
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: I have silverware, I have a nice glass of wine.

699
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: I have a plate. You don't have my last wine

700
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 1: shot on my plate. Okay, sorry, I have iced teak.

701
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: My plate is empty, and all my appetite is telling

702
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,720
Speaker 1: me is you gotta get some takes in your belly,

703
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: all right, and I need you. You're serving me Ti.

704
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 4: The last time I gave a take, I had to

705
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,879
Speaker 4: wear a Pilgrim outfit at live show.

706
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: I don't wow. Okay, so you reveal that. Sorry, I

707
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 1: need to just give me your Shape Patterson limited data.

708
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,280
Speaker 1: Do you envision a situation in which if Shape Patterson

709
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: is very good, if he has one of the best

710
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: say twelve, you know, QB ratings in the country or

711
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: something like that, and it is completing sixty five percent of

712
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: his passes, that would be very good for Michigan, then

713
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: they're a title contender.

714
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:18,959
Speaker 2: Yeah.

715
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: I agree with that. Thank I'm getting full tie. Oh,

716
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: belly's getting roundered.

717
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 4: You know, I feel like you and I got a

718
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 4: little bit of a little bit of animosity here today,

719
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 4: and I kind of like it.

720
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 2: Dan.

721
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 4: The season's about to start, kind of like it. This

722
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 4: is what they're going for on the TV nowadays.

723
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: Who is this year's Royce Freeman type back? A guy

724
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: in his third or fourth year that has been well

725
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: above average for his career, but for some reason doesn't

726
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: get the national media attention he deserves. I'm going to

727
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: give such a boring answer and say, Damien Harris. Yeah,

728
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: because he has been so consistently very good. But aside,

729
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: we had a really good crop of freshman and red

730
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 1: shirt freshman running backs last year. Are there any backs

731
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,720
Speaker 1: Miles Gaskin? I think is Anhing Miles to stay Miles Gaskin?

732
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 1: It's probably Northwest. Yeah, I would say that that falls

733
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: under it as well. I'm gonna stick with running backs here.

734
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: Ty Thomas wants to know what does David Montgomery's stat

735
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: line starting running back Iowa State can be very good,

736
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: need to look like his stat line need to look

737
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 1: like to get an invite to New York at the

738
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: end of the season on a three, four or five

739
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:35,439
Speaker 1: loss Iowa State team. Man, he's any answers? Two thousand yards?

740
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,720
Speaker 4: I was to say two thousand yards and like twenty

741
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 4: two touchdowns something crazy.

742
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: I don't think the touchdowns are as important. I think

743
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: they are important. But two thousand yards gets you to

744
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: Andre Williams and Andre Williams and I want to stay

745
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen played for a BC team that went to

746
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: a bowl game. Theybe the eight and four or seven

747
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: and five or something like that. Two thousand is an

748
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: unignorable number, and I think that's the answer. Yeah, okay,

749
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: does that makes sense? Sure? Yeah, two thousand. Uh. Next,

750
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: let's go to Michael wants to know how can we

751
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 1: get a ring tone of the doodle alert SoundBite? Can

752
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: we isolate that and just post it? Sorry if that

753
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: came through very loud for you, Dan, No, that was good. Y.

754
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: We could probably post that somewhere. Let's post that and

755
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,720
Speaker 1: doodle alert shirt we should. I don't think Suburban Legends

756
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: has a copyright on dood alerts. No, those are two

757
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: words that I think we can we can print with

758
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 1: the siren and maybe one of those emojis of a

759
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: finger pointing straight up. Yeah, so we have dood alert

760
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: this guy. Okay, how many group of five teams do

761
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: you think threaten the status quo like UCF did last year?

762
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:52,760
Speaker 1: If any one or two that's what I see.

763
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 4: Probably Boise State and the Troy Trojans baby boyd Trojans

764
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 4: yehist Bois State is Oklahoma State, so they can make

765
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 4: that big impact early on.

766
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: If they're able to beat the Cowboys.

767
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 4: FA, you could be interesting. They've got an early game

768
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 4: against Oklahoma.

769
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 2: Yep.

770
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: I think FAU is a good at San Diego State

771
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: has Stanford. Yeah, while on the West Coast and the

772
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 1: Mountain West Pac twelve matchup is not going to create

773
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: as much buzz beating Stanford again two years in a row.

774
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: San Diego State beating Stanford, and if they are to

775
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 1: run the table this year, that I think is cause

776
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: for concern if you are a power five person intent

777
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: on keeping attention for a group of five schools down.

778
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 4: And by the way, Josh Hernandez wrote in to ask

779
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 4: about the best power five versus group of five games,

780
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 4: I think we sort of answered that question.

781
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: Killing two week one has a great one. Well, it

782
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: has a couple you said, FAU Oklahoma. I I don't

783
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: know if I should go out on a limb. I

784
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: don't even think it's going out on a limb.

785
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:53,919
Speaker 2: Tie.

786
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: Do I even have the sound ready at this point?

787
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if you do. I'm not locking anything up,

788
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: I'm trapping anything I'm just telling you, I am just

789
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: if you can picture the eyeball emojis and this non

790
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: visual medium. Sure, Northern Illinois, Iowa week one just as

791
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: much as I like Nate Stanley and Iowa oo could

792
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: be spicy. Nathan wants to know, and I don't think

793
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: he doesn't specify a year here, So I think we

794
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: can talk big picture. Will Paul Christ lead Wisconsin to

795
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: a national title? Hmmm? Well, the very binary answer with

796
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: a lot of variables. But you what does your gut say, ty.

797
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 4: Take take plate MEA sure, Yeah. I think that Paul

798
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 4: Christ is going to be there for a while. So,

799
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 4: unlike some other situations that might be a little bit

800
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 4: more prone to coaching turnover, I think Wisconsin is somewhat

801
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 4: immune to that because Paul Chris is probably stay input

802
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 4: so by virtue of that and also them recruiting very well,

803
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 4: I'm going to say, over the course of his career,

804
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 4: the answer is yes. Hell yeah, the answer is yes,

805
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 4: over the course of his career.

806
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 1: I am going to agree, yeah, and this is why,

807
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: And I think you're right, But I think it needs

808
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 1: to be thought of like this. There are going to

809
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 1: be years. Nick Saban's not going to be in Tuscaloosa forever.

810
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: Dabbo's not going to be in Clemson forever. There are

811
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: going to be year over year changes that are unexpected,

812
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 1: and there are going to be years where all of

813
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: the perceived blue chip elite teams that are not Wisconsin

814
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: all beat each other up, lose two or three times,

815
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: and the one loss team is not a team that

816
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: has a demonstrable talent advantage over Wisconsin. And I'm not

817
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: going to directly compare it to the Cam Newton Auburn team,

818
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: but in a way that Auburn team did not have

819
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: a good defense. They had Nick Fairley, but in terms

820
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: of how productive they were, they relied on a single

821
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 1: entity on offense. Really good coaching, which I think Wisconsin

822
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: will continue to develop even if they lose guys. They've

823
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: already started losing guys a little bit. There is something

824
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: about Wisconsin just positioning itself to be there. We're going

825
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: to be eleven in one, We're going to win the

826
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: Big Ten. People are falling around the wayside, and we

827
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: are positioned to be the sort of solid ship in

828
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 1: the storm. Okay, and so I'm going to say, with

829
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: how well Wisconsin does keeping players there developing them, how

830
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: deep they become because of that, with the lack of

831
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 1: player attrition, if they can develop a couple of playmakers,

832
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: if they can keep developing speed and attracting speed on defense.

833
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 1: We saw that as the sort of tiny difference maker

834
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: against Ohio State last year. The margin by which Ohio

835
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: State won that game was not great. Nope, So it

836
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: to me points out that Wisconsin is just they are

837
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: that switch flip away from becoming that national championship contender.

838
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 4: Now that we've talked about Wisconsin in since I know

839
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 4: that there are more Wisconsin questions out there, I want

840
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 4: to pivot momentarily to a special guest that we're going

841
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 4: to bring on to answer some questions. But before we do,

Speaker 4: as promised I said, we're gonna have a special guest

862
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:26,399
Speaker 4: on to discuss topics. We were just talking about Wisconsin

863
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 4: and here to help us break down a little bit

864
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 4: more about the Wisconsin offensive line. Let's start at a

865
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 4: very familiar place. It is former NFL player, the star

866
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 4: of the Ross Tucker family of podcasts. He's also on

867
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 4: CBS Sports Network. Mister Ross Tucker, Welcome to the Solid

868
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 4: Verbal Fellas.

869
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 2: Thank you for having me, ty Dan, I appreciate it.

870
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 3: You guys obviously have a great thing going I've heard

871
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 3: a lot about it. Got a chance to listen from

872
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 3: time to time, and it's awesome to be on.

873
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 2: Everything you guys produce is great. Yeah, man, I've got.

874
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 3: A I've got five podcasts myself from my continued quest

875
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 3: to avoid a real job as long as possible.

876
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 2: I'm I'm thirty nine and a half now.

877
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 3: As my daughters would say, so so far, so good.

878
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 3: I've got the Ross Tucker Football Podcast is kind of

879
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 3: the flagship that's NFL and that's daily once the season starts,

880
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 3: and then you know, I kind of have offshoots of that,

881
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 3: like Fantasy Feast for fantasy football and even money for gambling.

882
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 3: And then the one that's that you guys would would

883
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 3: be most interested in, the one that Dan came on recently,

884
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 3: is the college Draft. It's kind of cool because we

885
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 3: go year round talking about college football, but really only

886
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 3: from the standpoint of the top players, the top prospects.

887
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 3: So we we preview more of just who are the studs,

888
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 3: who are the up and coming guys, and once the

889
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 3: season gets going, we'll just focus on, you know, for

890
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 3: people that are really into the draft, really into the NFL,

891
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 3: we'll say, okay, like for the first weekend, right Labor

892
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 3: Day weekend. That Monday night, I'll be calling the Virginia

893
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 3: Tech Florida State game for Westwood One. So so we'll

894
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 3: break down that game and say, Okay, here's the two dudes.

895
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 3: When you're watching that game or listening, but when you're

896
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 3: watching that game that you will need to watch for

897
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 3: Virginia Tech, here's the guys Florida State you will need

898
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 3: to watch. So even if someone's not like a gigantic

899
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 3: college football fan, it's almost like it gives them a

900
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 3: reason to watch and guys to check out.

901
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 2: So it's been really, really fun.

902
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 3: It always gives me a leg up, you know, once

903
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 3: the NFL season's over and we get into the draft stuff.

904
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 3: You know, I've already been talking about these guys for

905
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 3: you know, six seven months.

906
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 4: Well, that's one of the things that we've been pretty

907
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 4: tuned into here as we've gone through our conference previews,

908
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 4: giving people a reason to care. Right, everyone's busy. What

909
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 4: are the reasons that you should care about some of

910
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 4: these teams? In particular, one of the ones that I

911
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 4: know that that Dan and I were pretty jazzed up

912
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 4: about was Wisconsin because Wisconsin brings a lot back, and

913
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 4: especially along the line. There's just a beef equality to

914
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 4: it that should propel Jonathan Taylor tailback and Alex Hornybrook

915
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 4: and really the offense as a whole move them forward.

916
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 4: Now into the Big Ten season schedule is a little

917
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 4: bit more difficult than it was last year, but I

918
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 4: know you're pretty keen on the offensive line and where

919
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 4: that's going to take the Badgers this year.

920
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 2: I am.

921
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 3: And can I just say this, because I know you

922
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 3: guys talk about stuff like this.

923
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 2: I freaking love Wisconsin. I mean, yeah, I.

924
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 3: Love everything about those guys in that place. My wife

925
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 3: actually got her NBA from Kellogg and Northwestern, and so,

926
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 3: you know, one weekend we drove up there to Madison

927
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 3: because I just wanted to see what it was like.

928
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 3: They've got that main street, that road you know that

929
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 3: no cars can go on.

930
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 2: You know, you walk up and down.

931
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 3: It's all kinds of bars drinking spotted cal beer and stuff.

932
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 3: Then they even at this ice cream place where it

933
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 3: says like nutritional information, It's like, don't ask.

934
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 2: You don't want to know.

935
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 3: This is one hundred percent Wisconsin milk fat ice cream.

936
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 3: I mean, it's amazing. Then I don't know if you

937
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 3: guys have been there. But their student union okay, is

938
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 3: on a lake and the sell and they sell beer

939
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 3: and brats. Like zero percent chance I ever would have

940
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 3: gone to class even one time if I went to Wisconsin.

941
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 3: I love that place. And then I love the way

942
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 3: their team plays. You know, I've been studying their offensive line.

943
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 3: They've got three like legit, legit dudes that should all

944
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 3: be top two or three round picks, which.

945
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 2: Is not easy to do.

946
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 3: And they all almost look like carbon copies of each other.

947
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 3: It's amazing. I mean, they're all like six six and

948
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 3: a half three hundred and twenty five pounds. It's it's

949
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 3: a beautiful thing. I love the way they play football

950
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 3: in a world in which everybody seemingly runs very similar offenses.

951
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 3: I love like Wisconsin to Stanford. I mean, as a

952
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 3: former offensive lineman, those are my teams. Those are my dudes.

953
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 3: I would love to play for them. I think the

954
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 3: most athletic of the group is Michael Dieter, you know

955
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,439
Speaker 3: who played left tackle last year, number sixty three.

956
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:21,879
Speaker 2: He did a really nice job.

957
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 3: Even like watching the Big Ten championship game going against

958
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 3: Nick Bosa, he did a really nice job. You know,

959
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's quite long enough or quite

960
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 3: the athlete that they would want as an ideal left tackle.

961
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 3: He might be a guy that the NFL would bump

962
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 3: over to right or move into guard, where I think

963
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 3: he would excel.

964
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 2: But he's he was good enough to me with his

965
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 2: feet and hands.

966
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 3: But I would start him at left tackle, and I

967
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 3: would give him that opportunity because I think he could

968
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 3: do it on the other side.

969
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 2: David Edwards, the big red shirt junior.

970
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 3: He's kind of a right tackle all the way or

971
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 3: maybe even get bumped inside despite how tall he is.

972
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 2: He's not as athletic as Deeter was.

973
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 3: He was a little bit stiffer, but still kind of

974
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:11,839
Speaker 3: your classic Wisconsin guy. All these guys were pretty good finishers.

975
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 3: They all have real good pop in the run game

976
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 3: and great size.

977
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 2: Obviously. My favorite one, though, is bo Ben.

978
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 3: Schwazzle or however you say his last name. First of all,

979
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 3: I love the guy. I mean I love last names

980
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 3: like that, So I don't even know if Ben Schwazzle's

981
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 3: the way, but I love that, and that dude is

982
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:37,479
Speaker 3: a total badass. Like watching him, he plays the way

983
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 3: I tried to play, and the way I wanted to play.

984
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 3: I mean he's out there now. He's playing guard. He's

985
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:47,320
Speaker 3: playing right guard rather than tackle. So usually you think, okay,

986
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 3: he's maybe not going to be as athletic as the tackles.

987
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:54,720
Speaker 3: He's a real good athlete. He's the feistiest of the bunch.

988
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,919
Speaker 3: He's the finisher of the bunch. If you ever want

989
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 3: to just be entertained, walk offensive lineman out of the

990
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 3: group I've watched so far this year, he's the most entertaining.

991
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:09,799
Speaker 2: He's the one out there. He's really trying to do guys.

992
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 3: I mean, he's really trying to physically punish guys, which

993
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 3: I appreciate because you know, blocking people is not really fun.

994
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:19,800
Speaker 3: Trying to kill dudes? Is that's what's enjoyable?

995
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 1: What let me ask you this though, what is the

996
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: what is the secret sauce? What is the situation with

997
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 1: Wisconsin where year over a year you can say Wisconsin

998
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:33,240
Speaker 1: should have a good offensive line and it's true sight unseen.

999
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 1: How do you develop that reputation? Is it just because

1000
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 1: they keep putting guys in the pros where you know

1001
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 1: that sort of begets more high school offensive lineman, top

1002
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,359
Speaker 1: offensive lineman wanting to go to Wisconsin. What is it

1003
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 1: about an offensive line factory like Wisconsin that separates it

1004
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: from other schools? What are other schools missing that Wisconsin

1005
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 1: is able to do to year over year constantly churn

1006
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 1: offensive lineman to it to a super high level.

1007
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,800
Speaker 3: So it actually goes all the way back to Barry

1008
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 3: Alvarez because I've asked people about this and when he

1009
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 3: I think he was like the decoordinator at nerd A

1010
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 3: maybe when he got the Wisconsin job. And when he

1011
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 3: got the Wisconsin job, he asked a bunch of people.

1012
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 3: He's like, Okay, what do we have in Wisconsin? Like

1013
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 3: what like?

1014
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 2: What what do we have in our own state?

1015
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 3: And he basically was told, Okay, you don't have a

1016
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 3: lot of speed, you don't have a lot of skill, guys,

1017
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 3: but we've got really really big people.

1018
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:30,880
Speaker 2: And he looked at that and said, Okay, that's what

1019
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 2: we're going to be.

1020
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 3: Everybody else is kind of starting to spread things out

1021
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 3: and you know, get the.

1022
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:37,280
Speaker 2: Ball, throw the ball a lot.

1023
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 3: What we have in our state is big people and

1024
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 3: we're going to use that to advantage.

1025
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 2: So it started with that.

1026
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 3: It started with getting really big people, and then they

1027
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 3: got the run game, going and they just majored. That mean,

1028
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 3: I've taught the guys that played there, their practices were

1029
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 3: a blood bath. I mean they would just go inside,

1030
00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:00,319
Speaker 3: run like thirty plays in a row. The time they

1031
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,439
Speaker 3: got the games, it was easy. And they had run

1032
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 3: those plays so many times that they were like a

1033
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 3: machine and they had a lot of success doing it.

1034
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,879
Speaker 3: So then it became the second part of what you said, Dan,

1035
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 3: which is success, beget success.

1036
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 2: Then you start to have guys going high in the draft.

1037
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 3: You know, you can go back to Chris McIntosh and

1038
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:27,240
Speaker 3: Aaron Gibson to you know, obviously Travis Frederick more recently

1039
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 3: Joe Thoms. So it's kind of like, I don't want

1040
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 3: to call it necessarily O line, you but it's about

1041
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 3: as close as they have. So now if you're an

1042
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:39,360
Speaker 3: offensive lineman, that's a cool place to go. That's a

1043
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 3: place where you want to go. It's a pro style system,

1044
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 3: even though they run the ball a lot, it's pro

1045
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 3: style more than the spread. And it's cool to be

1046
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 3: an offensive lineman there, Like, there aren't that many schools

1047
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 3: where you go and it's like cool to be an

1048
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 3: old lineman. But a Wisconsin it's almost like you're respected.

1049
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 3: They probably get more girls than the average offensive.

1050
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 2: Lineman gets, you know. I mean, it's just it's cool

1051
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:04,359
Speaker 2: to be.

1052
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 3: An O lineman there, So I think I think that's

1053
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 3: a big reason why they go there. Plus, pass blocking

1054
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:13,360
Speaker 3: is not fun like coming off the ball. Like you know,

1055
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 3: I didn't eat all that food to get to be

1056
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 3: three hundred and twenty five pounds to be passive. I

1057
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 3: did it because I wanted to be aggressive and I

1058
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 3: wanted to knock human beings backwards and down on the ground.

1059
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 2: And a wisconsinent they let you do that. Ross.

1060
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:28,439
Speaker 4: We'll get you out of here on this. Let's talk

1061
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,479
Speaker 4: more about again why people should care about this coming

1062
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 4: football season. I know you're pretty attuned to all things

1063
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:39,479
Speaker 4: Big Ten. Give me two guys in the Big Ten

1064
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 4: conference that you are excited to watch and our listeners

1065
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:44,320
Speaker 4: should care about.

1066
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 3: So I'll give you one for sure, And everybody already

1067
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 3: knows about him, so it's not like it's a secret.

1068
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna go with Tracey McSorley. Okay, the quarterback

1069
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,760
Speaker 3: at Penn State. Guys, it feels like it's been thirty

1070
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 3: games in a row or I can't tell if he's

1071
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 3: lucky or just good.

1072
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 2: But whatever keeps working, it is working, man.

1073
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 3: I mean when he first the thing it's crazy about

1074
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 3: it is he got the job after like the most

1075
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 3: prototypical franchised quarterback looking dude you've ever seen in Christian Hackenberg.

1076
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,719
Speaker 1: Right, we don't say his name on this podcast anymore.

1077
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:27,800
Speaker 3: And then in comes Tracey McSorley, who I remember watching

1078
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 3: his high school video and I thought he would be

1079
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 3: pretty good.

1080
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 2: I believely liked it.

1081
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 3: I thought he had a better arm than he got

1082
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 3: credit for, and I thought we were coming into this

1083
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 3: age where height was not as important. But his video

1084
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 3: like he could have been a big time college safety.

1085
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 3: I think watching him in high school in northern Virginia,

1086
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 3: you know where the Redskins practice, That's where he's from, Ashbourne, Virginia.

1087
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:55,240
Speaker 3: He has been so good and so clutch and somehow

1088
00:55:55,440 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 3: so durable for Penn State. You know, it's very rare

1089
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 3: even when they've lost games, that he's been the reason

1090
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 3: for them losing. I mean, you know last year they

1091
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:08,839
Speaker 3: had some issues against Ohio State and Michigan State.

1092
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 2: But I just he might not be a.

1093
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,840
Speaker 3: Great pro prospect, and I still think he's gonna end

1094
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 3: up sticking in the NFL. But I think we need

1095
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:24,240
Speaker 3: to do a better job of appreciating fantastic college football

1096
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 3: players like Trace McSorley and not getting all caught up

1097
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 3: in the fact that, you know, maybe he's not gonna

1098
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 3: go ahead and be an NFL star. Although you know what,

1099
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,279
Speaker 3: what were people saying about Baker Mayfield at this time.

1100
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 3: I don't think Trace is that accurate. But if he

1101
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 3: has another great year and and rewrites every record even

1102
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 3: more and has three straight years of outstanding production, I

1103
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 3: don't know. I don't know how you go against that.

1104
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 3: The other two guys I would tell you to watch.

1105
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:58,919
Speaker 3: I already mentioned Bosa, who's unbelievable technician for how young

1106
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 3: he is. But for Michigan, watched their defensive ends Rashaan

1107
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 3: Gary and Chase Winovich, if only because the contrast between

1108
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 3: those two is remarkable. Rashan Gary is as rare of

1109
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 3: an athlete as we've seen in college football since, like

1110
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 3: Jadeveon Clowney, Like there's no way a three hundred pound

1111
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 3: dude should move the way he does. You know, he's

1112
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 3: getting offered in eighth grade, running like four fives at

1113
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 3: football camps when he was two hundred ninety five pounds

1114
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 3: in eighth grade.

1115
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 2: Like he is a rare bird, but his motor's.

1116
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 3: Not always running and he still hasn't really figured it out,

1117
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 3: you know, like you can't just have one move, you

1118
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 3: have to have counter moved. You have to watch the

1119
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 3: tape and know how to set up offensive lineman. So

1120
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 3: he's unique to watch just because he's a freak athlete

1121
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:54,080
Speaker 3: that hasn't totally figured out. Meanwhile, on the other side,

1122
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 3: Chase Winovich, who's a Western Pa guy. He is like

1123
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 3: a bat at a hell, rows an assortment of moves

1124
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 3: and is absolutely relentless, but doesn't quite have Gary's size

1125
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 3: speed combination. So when you watch those guys, it's just

1126
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 3: interesting because it shows you, even though they play the

1127
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 3: same position, that there really are you know, two ways

1128
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 3: different ways to skin a cat and still be productive

1129
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 3: at that position.

1130
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 4: Good stuff, man, All right, Ross Tucker again, you can

1131

1163
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 4: Dan Kendaquon Barkley went to Whitehall. I could throw Jim

Speaker 4: drucken Miller in there from my high school.

1165
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:52,800

1178
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 1: I love it. I love nerding out about offensive lineman.

1179
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 1: That's just we've we've had Jeff Schwartz on. We've had

1180
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 1: a bunch of scheme stuff on. I love nerding about,

1181
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 1: nerding out about large people talking about other large people.

1182
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 1: If that makes sense, it doesn't sound weird, which it

1183
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 1: probably does. It probably does.

1184
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 4: But you know what, here, here's what we do on

1185
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 4: the Celverbo. Yeah, we cultivate that kind of thinking. We're

1186
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:45,520
Speaker 4: all about that show here. We celebrate got a bunch

1187
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 4: of crazy questions here, so many in fact, that we're

1188
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 4: going to do a two parter here. So whatever we

1189
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 4: couldn't get to on this first show, we're going to

1190
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 4: do our best to address on the Sunday show, which

1191
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 4: is forthcoming. We'll post it in a couple of days. Again,

1192
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 4: a man if two part Q and a show that

1193
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:04,919
Speaker 4: we're going to try and you know, use to help

1194
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 4: you get ready for the season. But we're not done yet.

1195
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 4: Let's do like, can we do like four or five

1196
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 4: more rapid fire.

1197
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 1: Buck Hogan, great name. You have ten dollars to see

1198
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 1: one Power five versus Power five game this season? What

1199
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 1: game do you go to? And so, what I think

1200
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 1: he's referring to is the fact that if you go

1201
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 1: on ESPN dot com, they tell you the get in

1202
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 1: price for each game, right, and there were a few

1203
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:30,680
Speaker 1: group of five Power five that I highlighted. But you

1204
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 1: can get into Duke at Northwestern three dollars three dollars.

1205
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 1: And let me tell you something. This is early September.

1206
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 1: Evanston's going to be very nice. It's right on the lake.

1207
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:43,440
Speaker 1: I don't think the students are in town yet, which

1208
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: is why I think there are a lot of tickets available.

1209
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's fully my answer. You can

1210
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 1: go to Boston College Perdue for under ten dollars, a

1211
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 1: couple other options, Georgia Tech Pit under ten dollars. BC

1212
01:01:56,120 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 1: Wake is under ten dollars. A couple other options involving

1213
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:03,640
Speaker 1: group of five schools, Ohio at Virginia if you want

1214
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 1: to go see Nathan Rourke UTSA at Kansas State Kansas State,

1215
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 1: excuse me. You can see Minnesota at Maryland, which feels

1216
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 1: like it could be a totally legit so look, hold on.

1217
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 4: That was going to be my answer. Okay, Now, I

1218
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 4: don't know where things are headed now given what we

1219
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:24,080
Speaker 4: discussed at the top of the show, but Minnesota and

1220
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:26,960
Speaker 4: Maryland were two teams that I was pretty bullish on

1221
01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 4: when we did our Big ten previews, so that was

1222
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 4: going to be my answer.

1223
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, those teams are both on your pluckiness rankings, so

1224
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 1: that's not a bad answer. I would go see North

1225
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 1: Texas at Arkansas for under ten dollars again, group of

1226
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:42,440
Speaker 1: five school I know, Temple at Maryland. Jeff Collins finished

1227
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 1: pretty strong there for the owls, and my final one

1228
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 1: is Wyoming at Missouri under ten dollars. As of right now.

1229
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 1: Those are the getting prices.

1230
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 4: Bargain basement prices right there.

1231
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1232
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 1: Next question, who will be further along in twenty twenty

1233
01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 1: in terms of winning the Big Ten? West Purdue or Nebraska.

1234
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 1: My answer, and that comes to us by a tyler.

1235
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 1: My answer is Nebraska because I am positive their coach

1236
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 1: will be there in twenty twenty. Are you now, yes,

1237
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 1: my positive Scott Frost and me the coach of Nebraska

1238
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 1: in two years.

1239
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 4: Yes, I think that's probably a fair bet. I am

1240
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 4: not positive to your point about Jeff Bram, whether or

1241
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 4: not he's going to be at Purdue. Also, I think

1242
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 4: that Nebraska is starting from a much different point than Purdue.

1243
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 4: They're really trying to rebuild the talent pool in westlof

1244
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 4: yet in a way that I don't think they quite

1245
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:32,080
Speaker 4: have to in Nebraska.

1246
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 1: Nate wants to know who do you think is the

1247
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: player or team for that matter, most likely to earn

1248
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 1: the quote in a losing effort Moniker this season? And

1249
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 1: this is where I editorialize it's either Manny Wilkins or

1250
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 1: Khalil Tape and they're both in the same state. No,

1251
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 1: there are other answers I have, but so correct me

1252
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong Ti, because this is my interpretation of

1253
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:55,920
Speaker 1: a thing. I don't know if we invented, but we

1254
01:03:55,960 --> 01:04:00,280
Speaker 1: definitely celebrate harder than anybody. Sure, an offensive player who

1255
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 1: puts up a productive game to the point where you

1256
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 1: have to mention it, even though that team lost in

1257
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 1: the vein of Nick Foles and what he did at Arizona.

1258
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 4: Right, So Khalil Tate very much carrying on that tradition

1259
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 4: carrying the torch.

1260
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 1: And Tucson, Yes, I would say of the Pac twelve,

1261
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:20,880
Speaker 1: those are the two teams. McLain Carter I think is

1262
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 1: going to start a quarterback for Texas Tech. And that's

1263
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 1: always a pretty good guess about somebody who could put

1264
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 1: up a bunch of yards in impressive fashion in a

1265
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 1: losing efforts. I don't know if i'd necessarily have somebody.

1266
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 1: Maybe Ty Johnson at Maryland.

1267
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 4: Ty Johnson could be in there. I mean, I think

1268
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 4: Drew Locks an obvious answer.

1269
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 1: Oh, great answer.

1270
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:42,280
Speaker 4: I also think you can make a pretty good case

1271
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 4: for Will Greer at Well. Yeah, I know you've been

1272
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:48,400
Speaker 4: down on the West Virginia defense, so I don't know

1273
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 4: if they're going two and ten, but if the defense

1274
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:52,680
Speaker 4: goes south, you could see five and seven, six and

1275
01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 4: six with a huge performance all year by Greer, provided

1276
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 4: he stays.

1277
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 1: Healthy, given that he's got David Sills coming back. Wild

1278
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 1: card to Puma pass Okay, yeah, sure at Louisville with

1279
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 1: the BVG defense, Yeah yeah, Oh god, I feel pretty good.

1280
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:11,120
Speaker 1: If Puma pass is good, Juwan pass is good. There's

1281
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 1: some some pretty striking potential there. Gardner Minshew the presumed

1282
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:19,400
Speaker 1: starters at State Washington State. I know their defense actually

1283
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 1: should be pretty good, but I think they're gonna lose

1284
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 1: a few. I don't think they're making a bowl game

1285
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 1: this year, so I think those are a few decent ones. Okay,

1286
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:31,880
Speaker 1: where we go next? Next, let's go to as I scroll.

1287
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 1: We got like seventeen pages of questions here. This question

1288
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:36,520
Speaker 1: is amazing. I don't know if we want to save it.

1289
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:39,200
Speaker 1: About a TV is getting locked on a channel? Oh,

1290
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 1: let's say that for Sunday, all right, Which transfer, graduate

1291
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 1: or otherwise has the best chance to have a big season.

1292
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 1: I think that the duo at FAU is a good answer.

1293
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 1: Joe von Durant, the West Virginia transfer and Chris Robison,

1294
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:56,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback who will be throwing to Durant transfer from Oklahoma.

1295
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 1: I think that's possible. I mentioned Gardner Minshew. I don't

1296
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:03,040
Speaker 1: think that's the answer. Across college football. I'm trying to

1297
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 1: shape Patterson Shaye. Patterson's the obvious one. Oh, I got

1298
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 1: a duo that I think, could you know, just we'll

1299
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 1: stay on the duo uh tick. Jonathan Giles receiver formerly

1300
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 1: of Texas tex stepping in at LSU. Joe Burrow's any good.

1301
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 1: On the other side, Brendan Branden Feyjoko, also of Texas

1302
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 1: Tech coming to LSU. I think those two are are

1303
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 1: pretty interesting and maybe actually this could qualify as in

1304
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 1: a losing effort as well. kJ Cartis Samuel's a Colorado

1305
01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 1: state and that Mike Bobo offense I think could put

1306
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:40,000
Speaker 1: up some pretty big numbers even without Michael Gallup there

1307
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:43,120
Speaker 1: to catch those passes. So there's there's some pretty good

1308
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:47,480
Speaker 1: options across the country. And by the way, that question

1309
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:50,040
Speaker 1: comes to us, and let's just we can finish with

1310
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 1: that question if you'd like.

1311
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 2: Sure.

1312
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:58,960
Speaker 1: That question comes to us from Reddit user lasagna Fiend, whoa.

1313
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:00,480
Speaker 4: Ty Yes, we can't do any better than that.

1314
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 1: We cannot do better than Lasagna Fiend, and we were

1315
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 1: going to honor his or her taste in Italian food,

1316
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 1: and I'm going to ask you this very controversial question. Please, Actually,

1317
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:14,400
Speaker 1: there's a couple of lasagna questions. I have pro ricatta

1318
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:18,720
Speaker 1: anti ricotta. I'm pro. I don't think lasagna needs ricada,

1319
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:21,520
Speaker 1: though I believe that's the authentic way to make it,

1320
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 1: though it is authentically at least Italian American. That's right.

1321
01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 1: I feel like there's already a good gooiness richness factor

1322
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 1: without it.

1323
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 4: I'm not a I'm not a racata fan on its own,

1324
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:37,120
Speaker 4: but in lasagna, I think it adds a little bit

1325
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:38,800
Speaker 4: of necessary texture.

1326
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 1: Middle side or corner.

1327
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 4: Ah, I usually like side or corner. I like getting

1328
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 4: I like part of that crusty noodle at the edge.

1329
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:52,840
Speaker 2: A.

1330
01:07:54,520 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 1: Corner. All day meat, ground meat or sausage or both.

1331
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 1: I prefer the ground meat. I think I prefer ground

1332
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:08,040
Speaker 1: meat as well. Yeah, maybe some kind of like veal

1333
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 1: pork beef mixture. Yeah, that's right, that seems right to me.

1334
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 1: A spicy or a regular marin ea regular marinea, regular

1335
01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 1: is right? Yeah, I think regular is right. I think

1336
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:21,640
Speaker 1: spicy turns it into something that it doesn't necessarily have

1337
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:25,000
Speaker 1: to be. In distracts. Yeah, do you make your own

1338
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:28,680
Speaker 1: lasagna or do you just rely on mama age?

1339
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 4: I haven't made my own lasagne, But you've never made

1340
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:34,799
Speaker 4: your own lasagna. I haven't, No, No, but I could.

1341
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:39,000
Speaker 4: I have Grandma's recipe, and I'm sure I could make that.

1342
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:41,640
Speaker 1: I just haven't. No, I haven't.

1343
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:42,559
Speaker 2: Okay.

1344
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 1: I love lasagna and I have not had it in

1345
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 1: a long time because you when you commit to lasagna, lasagna,

1346
01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 1: it's essentially the pancakes of Italian food. That seems right

1347
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 1: stacking you're dents. You're not doing much after no, But

1348
01:08:57,960 --> 01:08:59,800
Speaker 1: but yeah, lasagna is way better than a stack of

1349
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:00,880
Speaker 1: pank All right.

1350
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:03,560
Speaker 4: Well, for that guy over there, my good friend Dan Rubinstein,

Speaker 4: and break down the Wisconsin offensive line, and some other

1360
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 4: guys in the Big Ten that are worthy of your care.

1361
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:38,200
