1
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: I don't like to fib to you guys, so I

2
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: do need to start the show and come clean. I

3
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: basically just held the live chat Austin, Colin, and Jesse.

4
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if you were paying attention, but I

5
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,319
Speaker 1: typed right here, right here in the box. I'm not

6
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: starting to show until you give me a certain amount

7
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: of lights. Now. Just so happens that we hit that

8
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: number right at the top of the hour. But I

9
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: do need to tell you we were going to start

10
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: the show anyway. But I appreciate the lights, man, I

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: appreciate It's that kind of show that gives you the tinglees.

12
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: Because even though it's Sunday, February second, the year of

13
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 1: our Lawyer twenty twenty five, which a more casually minded

14
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: person would call the off season, We've got breaking news

15
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: all over the place. We're proudly presented by Academy Sports

16
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: and Outdoors, but we would be no matter what time

17
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: of year. But listen, listen to all these papers. We

18
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: got breaking news at Ohio State. Not to be outdone,

19
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: Alibet has breaking news. Commissioner Pate excuse me, future Commissioner

20
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: Paate is going to present an entirely new landscape of

21
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: college football to you tonight, one in which conferences fill

22
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: out what a conference should fill out again instead of

23
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: what they've been twisted into becoming. Let's see what else

24
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: do we have tonight? We got spring games possibly being canceled.

25
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: Shame on the wrong adults in the room, you see, kids,

26
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: It's not enough to have adults in the room. You

27
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: got to have the right adults in the room or

28
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 1: else it's worth no more than you, guys, the kids

29
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: who I'm talking to being in the room. There was

30
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: a big trade in the NBA. I don't know if

31
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: you heard. Lebron and I were out to dinner last night,

32
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: not together, mind you, but we were both at dinner

33
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: when the news broke, which I will proceed to not

34
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: discuss at all on the show tonight. However, many of

35
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: you apparently do subject yourselves to NBA regular season action.

36
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: And you asked me, could this stuff ever happen in

37
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: college football? What would the equivalent be in college football?

38
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: Or and I want you to hear me carefully, theoretically, hypothetically,

39
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: I always thought they were interchangeable. Could trades ever happen

40
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: down the road? You know, there's a big drum beat.

41
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: You hear it, It's getting louder. It's getting louder. Folks

42
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: want players to be employees. Well what all comes along

43
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: with that? You know what? Why not toss it into

44
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: tonight's show and we'll talk about some hype at Penn State,

45
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about whether South Carolina could ever win

46
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: a national championship. We'll talk about some preseason odds. I mean,

47
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: we could go for nine hours tonight. We won't because

48
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: Colin has a bedtime, but we will go for a

49
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: little while tonight. They're watching us in Henderson, Nevada, Jupiter, Florida, Lithonia, Georgia.

50
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: My handwriting is atrocious and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, appreciate you. Guys. Hey,

51
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: hot news off the presses here. The Speaker Series starts

52
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: this week. Well, let me rephrase, I will be jetting

53
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: off this week at some point to record the first

54
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: episode of the Pate State Speaker Series, which, for those

55
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: of you who are unfamiliar, is our sit down conversation

56
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: series during the spring with head coaches. Except we're gonna

57
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: have more than just head coaches, and maybe more than

58
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: just football coaches. You know, hooms to amongst us knows

59
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: where we can head. I will guarantee you none of

60
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: you will guess where I'm going first, and I've already

61
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: got the second one booked as well, and I would

62
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: venture to guess none of you will be able to

63
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: nail where I'm going second either. So the challenge is

64
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: out there. And by the way, we've got a ton

65
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: of stops already confirmed. I got a few open slots

66
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: throughout the spring, so head coaches, sids who haven't hit

67
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,399
Speaker 1: us up yet, you know how to get in touch

68
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: with me. But those spots have already filled up pretty quick.

69
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: We still got a few open, so we're not trying

70
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: to leave anyone out. You know, we haven't heard from

71
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: USC again this year, but we'd love to go out there.

72
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: Our balls are in their court, as they always are. Okay,

73
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 1: let's go breaking news. A lot, got actually a ton

74
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: going on. I did not plan on this, but we do.

75
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly just had a great year at Ohio State.

76
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: But Chip Kelly is no longer the offensive coordinator at

77
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: Ohio State. And I know this because the news broke

78
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: a little while ago. He's headed to Las Vegas, not

79
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: for the UNLV job that was already taken. He's going

80
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: there to coach the Raiders. So there's that, all right.

81
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: My default position is I always hate it when big

82
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: name coaches, good coaches leave our game for the Sunday game,

83
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: But it is Chip Kelly's constitutional right to do so,

84
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: so we wish him a fond farewell. Ryan Day's got

85
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: like thirty seven coaching openings up there now, not exactly

86
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: thirty seven, but it's not far away from that. So

87
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: we got Jim Knowles defensive coordinator gone. We got Justin

88
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: Frye offensive line coach gone. We've got now Chip Kelly

89
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: just in the last few hours, offensive coordinator gone. When

90
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: I was growing up in rural Georgia, Harris County, Fortson,

91
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: to be specific, I had a great neighborhood. Had a

92
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: great neighborhood. Don't want to get a specific as to

93
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: tell you what the neighborhood was. Have loved ones that

94
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: still live there, but we had such a good group.

95
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: It was like it was the sandlot situation basically, where

96
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,239
Speaker 1: you got all these kids who are the same age

97
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: as you and you're all growing up together and it's like, man,

98
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: all the summer can continue to come and go and

99
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: like it's never going to end, and then it has

100
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: to end. So like Chris moves away, Ricky moves away,

101
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: Sean moves away, Andy moves away, Chris moves to another neighborhood,

102
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: and like it all happened in one summer and all

103
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: of a sudden, childhood's over. And that's kind of Ryan Day.

104
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: Ryan Day's still in Columbus, Ohio, but you've got your

105
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator gone, your defensive coordinator gone, your offensive line

106
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: coach gone. Oh, your quarterback's gone, but your tailbacks are gone,

107
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: your offensive line, defensive line, not entirely, but a lot

108
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: of them are gone. So this is the world of

109
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: college football. It doesn't make it easy. But I am

110
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: not coming to you tonight to incite a panic. I

111
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: am coming to you tonight, at least if you're an

112
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: Ohio State fan with a very calming and reassuring message.

113
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: That's what we should be delivering on Sunday. I think so,

114
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,559
Speaker 1: Darryl and Dayton, you know, Andy and Ashtabulah, Larry and Lima.

115
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: I want you to listen to me. Ryan Day makes

116
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: ten point two million dollars a year, so it is

117
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: his job to panic right now. But it is not

118
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: your job to panic. Just like I told your neighbors

119
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: to the north this time last year. You just won

120
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: a national championship. That's worth a lot of runway, that

121
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: is worth a lot of time for you to sigh

122
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: and breathe out and relax and kick your feed up

123
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: and enjoy it. Enjoy it. It may happen again next year,

124
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: it may not happen again for a decade, but you

125
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: don't want to be spending February freaked out about coaching changes.

126
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: Worry about that in spring, or worry about that the

127
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: latter part of the summer. I would encourage you to

128
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: adopt the mentality of course, check your local message board

129
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: every day. Yes, listen to your local podcast or your

130
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: local radio show every day. But enjoy this. You're not

131
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: being paid ten point two MILLI a year to worry

132
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: about this. Ryan Day is which brings me to my

133
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: next point. You know what, We won't call him on

134
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: the show, but I am curious about how Ryan Day

135
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,799
Speaker 1: responds to this. Ryandy's been doing like an all world

136
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: media tour. I've seen Ryan Day doing things that I

137
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: never thought i'd see him doing a million years. I

138
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: saw him hitting softballs and talking to Kelly Clarkson in

139
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: the same week, just total fever dream stuff. And so

140
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: I will say this, if I were Ryan Day, I'd

141
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: be calling active head coaches right now, twofold. Let me

142
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: let me give you the first, very unseious approach I have.

143
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: If I were Ryan Day, I just won a national championship.

144
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: I'm untouchable. Now there's a part of me, the really,

145
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: really sick, dark, you know, twisted part of me that

146
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: only Jesse and Colin get to see. I called James

147
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: Franklin an offer him the offensive coordinator position. I call Signetti,

148
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: I called Bielima, I call Luke Fickel, I call the

149
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: head coaches in the Big ten. Or I'd offer the

150
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: job publicly on social Okay, like if Lane Kiffin coached

151
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: at Ohio State, that's how he'd handle things. Your retort

152
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: in the comments later will be, that's one reason Lane

153
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: Kiffin's not the head coach at Ohio State. I get it,

154
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: all right, I'll grant you that. So that's the unseerious approach.

155
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: But here's the semi serious approach. You know, this time

156
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: last year, he had just hired Bill O'Brien, which is

157
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: this long forgotten part of Ohio's state football history because

158
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: it lasted like a week or maybe less than that,

159
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: and then Bill O'Brien gets the head coaching job at

160
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: Boston College. Do you remember how you felt at that moment,

161
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: because it felt like a great, big setback. And then

162
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: what did you find out? You found out Chip Kelly

163
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: was available. Well, you didn't know Chip Kelly was available,

164
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: because for any other program, chip Kelly wouldn't have been available.

165
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: But it was the perfect situation where you've got already

166
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 1: made winner here. I'm Chip Kelly. I'm looking to get

167
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: out of UCLA in his case, and I want to

168
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: go just coach football. So Ryan Day was able to

169
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: make that higher point being nobody's hot board had Chip

170
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: Kelly's name on it. I'm sure over on buck Nuts

171
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: right now, all of our guys are cast of thousands

172
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: over there. They're assembling hot boards for who could get

173
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: this offensive coordinator position, and they may nail it, but

174
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, I'd be calling pretty big name

175
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: G five head coaches and I'd be offering this job

176
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: to them, because you never know until you kick the tires.

177
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: You know, the state of affairs in college football right

178
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: now is that there's some really, really good head coaches

179
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: at the G five level who are aggravated that they

180
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: don't control their own fate. Now, to some extent, you

181
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: never control your own fate. There's so many variables in

182
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: the equation of being a college football head coach or

183
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: you know, a coach period. But the way those G

184
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: five guys look at it is you've got some really

185
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: really high caliber coaches who the better job they do,

186
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 1: the more they get punished because the bigger fish come

187
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: and grab their assistance and then they grab all their players.

188
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: And you're actually being punished because you're doing a great

189
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: job at recruiting and developing and coaching, and you're doing

190
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: it all for what for Wisconsin or for Alabama or

191
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: for usc to come grab your guys at the eleventh hour.

192
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: And so some head coaches not coordinators. Some head coaches

193
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: at the G five level have privately told me that

194
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: if the right coordinator position came open, they'd go take it.

195
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: They'd go take it at the power level because they

196
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: actually view that as a bridge worth crossing now, and

197
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: classical terms, you know, a generation prior, you'd view that

198
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: as a demotion. You actually used to go get the

199
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: coordinator position at Ohio State so that you could be

200
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: seen succeed and then you go take the G five

201
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 1: head coaching job as your introduction into being a head coach.

202
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: But that's not always the way it works anymore. Nowadays,

203
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: guys are very, very sick and tired of their future

204
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: being totally up in the air and totally you know,

205
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: subject to the winds of change in college FOOTBA at

206
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: the G five level, and they're saying, I'd rather go

207
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: be a coordinator up there for a couple of years

208
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: and then think about the offers that could come my way.

209
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: So I would, at the very least look at that.

210
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: Now I don't have specific names for you, but I mean,

211
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: Kelly's gonna make six million per year, Jesse, Is that right?

212
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: Six million per year to be the offensive coordinator of

213
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders? My goodness? Okay, So he was

214
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 1: making a ton of money at Ohio State and I

215
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: think it was around two million a year. So you

216
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: know what, in retrospect, could we just golf clap for

217
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly? Did he really just triple his salary If

218
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: he did, and he doesn't have to recruit a single player.

219
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: They still have the draft in the NFL. I think

220
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: they do. Yeah, okay, all right, good for him. I

221
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: will say one more thing, and we got to move

222
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: on because we got a whole bunch of breaking news.

223
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: I mean, do you know Alabama's got a new offensive coordinator.

224
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: It's not Nick Sheridan. Yeah. So so do me a

225
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: favor before I give you this last little little nugget,

226
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: little morsel out of my mind. Make sure you subscribe

227

Speaker 1: to the channel. We're doing college football all year. We

228

Speaker 1: actually don't do NFL, NBA, anything else. We're just doing

229
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: college football. It helps us. It's free. If you subscribe

230
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: to the channel and you don't sign up for anything,

231
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: and nothing else happens to you. It just helps us.

232
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: So we appreciate that free advice to Ryan Day that

233
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: I don't think he needs, but just in case he does,

234
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: just in case he slipped into what Memal would call

235
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: the success coma for just a second. You better not

236
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: underestimate how many wolves are at the door. I know

237
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: it's Ohio State, and I know that you're the big

238
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: dog on the block, but the block's different now. You

239
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: cannot underestimate how many wolves are at the door. You

240
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 1: got some really really aggressive coaches and really aggressive and

241
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: hungry programs in your conference, and unlike years past, where

242
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: if you win a national championship, you enter the following

243
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: year as the default favorite just because you're Ohio State

244
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: and they're not. There is still a lot of truth

245
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: to that. But the difference now is the door that

246
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: you used to just be able to slam in folks faces,

247
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 1: it's not as fortified as it was in the past.

248
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: And that's true for Ohio State, that's true for Georgia.

249
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: We just saw this last year. That's true for anyone.

250
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: There is no one immune from this in college football. Now.

251
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: What nil in the portal can do to your roster,

252
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: coaches included, your entire roster top to bottom in your

253
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: building can ravage you relative to what it used to

254
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: be like. And so I don't necessarily have deep concern

255
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: that there's a collective malaise over that program. So both

256
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: fingers crossed on this. I mean, there's plenty of intensity

257
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 1: up there. I'm sure we'll go up there at some

258
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: point in the spring, and I'm sure I'll be reminded

259
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: and you forget I ever said anything like this. But

260
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 1: I just I know if you're a fan, you can

261
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 1: sigh and you can take time to look in the

262
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: mirror and you can reflect, and you can go back

263
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: and watch that replay of that game. You gotta be

264
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: full speed ahead, because what used to be the case

265
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: is all right. If you're good enough to go win

266
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: a national championship and you're a power program like Ohio State,

267
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: if you fall back to earth next year, what is

268
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: it ten wins? It can be worse than that. In

269
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: modern college football, it can be worse than that. You're

270
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: thinner than you used to be. Your requisite level of

271
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: championship caliber, depth that you used to take for granted

272
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: is not there across the board anymore. You're losing two

273
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: pretty world class coordinators off your staff, and you don't

274
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: know what other movement you'll have now counter to that.

275
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: I also don't know how he's going to backfill those positions.

276
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: So we could look at it and say, wow, you

277
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: went from great to great and over here great to

278
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: pretty good or maybe great, so wait and see totally fair.

279
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: I just hope that. I hope that same aggression is

280
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: there because we've seen it in years past. We've seen

281
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: teams repeat, and then we've also seen in years past

282
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: a team completely fall back to earth the next year

283
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: and then in the winter everyone's talking about how complacency

284
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: bit him in the butt. Well, you don't want that

285
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: to happen. They over at Academy Sports and Outdoors do

286
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: not suffer from this. Just the goat every year. You know.

287
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: I talk to our buddies at Academy fairly regularly. They're

288
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: out in Texas, and I just want to remind everyone,

289
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: especially out in the lone Star state, that you'll have

290
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: a lot of claims every now and then about who's

291
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: the best at this, who's the best at that. But

292
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: you don't need to trust any marketing campaign. I'm just

293
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: flat out telling you Academy's the best in Texas and elsewhere,

294
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: and so if anyone else tells you otherwise, that's their opinion,

295
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: but it's also not true. It's also not true. I

296
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: have the proof. It's in my hand. You don't have

297
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: to trust me on that, but I have the proof.

298
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: So you know, it's kind of cold outside, except it wasn't.

299
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: It was seventy degrees in Nashville today. You could have

300
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: gone fishing gear up at Academy baseball season right around

301
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: the corner Academy Sports and Outdoors. They got your hookup.

302
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: If you can't get there in person. Academy dot Com

303
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: same great selection, you know, not as personable. You don't

304
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: have that new shoe smell as you walk down the aisle.

305
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: You can't grab the big league schew physically in the

306
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: checkout line if you go to Academy dot Com. But

307
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: it's still there for you. We appreciate them, the presenting

308
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: partner of this show. So I talked to you a

309
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: second ago about the breaking news out of Columbus, Ohio.

310
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: As we pop the top here on a still pretty

311
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: cold Zevia, Oh look at that. We're going cream soda

312
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: again tonight, guys. That's not a complaint. That is very

313
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: much by choice. Although I am gonna have to rotate

314
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: flavors on the show or else people will think there

315
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: are no other flavors. A Za. I've got the entire

316
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: rainbow of flavors in our wine fridge, keeping ZVA and

317
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: the wine fridge. That's how cultured I've become, and I

318
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: suggest you guys do the same. So we talked about

319
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: Ohio state a second ago. We got some breaking news

320
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: out of Alabama too. Ryan Grubb is headed to Tuscaloosa

321
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: as offensive coordinator. Now you may think to yourself, Why

322
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: am I watching a replay of a show from last year?

323
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: Because this happened last year, didn't it. Kaitlyn de Borg

324
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: got hired at Alabama, and then Ryan Grubb's coming along

325
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: with him, and then he went to Seattle, So this

326
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: must be a replay. Well it kind of feels that way,

327
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: but it's not. It is Sunday, February second, It is

328
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. This is happening. We're live at seven

329
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: sixteen on a Sunday night. This just happened in the

330
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: last hour or so. So Ryan Grubb was fired by

331
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: the Seahawks after one year. He is now headed Alabama.

332
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna try it again. We're gonna we're gonna spin,

333
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna spend the wheel again, and we're gonna try

334
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: Ryan Grubb offensive coordinator at Alabama. So several thoughts on this,

335
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: you know, I think one of the most forgotten part

336
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: actually not one, when when Debor got hired at Alabama.

337
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: Two of the things that I have found that people

338
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: just whitewashed historically is what the reality was. So the reality,

339
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: like the eight ball he found himself behind, was part one.

340
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: The way that the portal only went one way because

341
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: of when he got the job, he couldn't take any

342
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: guys out of the portal, but they could leave for

343
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: thirty days. So it was one of the first times

344
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: that we've seen in the modern portal era a coach

345
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: get hired, even in a major program, and just both

346
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: of his hands are tied behind his back. And then

347
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 1: you get the headline that Ryan Grubbs coming with him

348
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: Scott Huff remember the offensive line coach, initially was going

349
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: to come with him. And then in a matter of

350
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: days breaking news the Seattle Seahawks are hiring both of them.

351
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: So not only did de Bor have to basically try

352
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: and block the doors, cause players are leaving left and right,

353
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: you got Caleb Downs walking out the door. And then

354
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: at least I've got my offensive coordinator and offense line

355
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: coach set. Oh wait, they're going to the NFL. That

356
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: was the first few weeks of the board. There were

357
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: people five alarm freaked out about that. No one remembers

358
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: it now, and it wasn't five years ago. It was

359
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,239
Speaker 1: just about a calendar year ago. People were freaked out

360
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: about that. So then you get in the heat of

361
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: battle in the season and you are what your record

362
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: says you are, you know, one of the biggest lies

363
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: told in this sport, but no one remembers the context

364
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: around him. So anyway, now we fast forward and it's

365
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: so ironic that you're getting that same guy back. You're

366
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: getting Ryan Grubb back. So firstly, I don't need to

367
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: overstate this, but this is a really big deal. It's

368
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: the guy he wanted the first time. It's also important,

369
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: and I'll get some disagreement on this, but I fully

370
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: believe what I'm about to say. It's also very important

371
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: that he's keeping Nick Sheridan on the staff. Sheridan was

372
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: his offensive coordinator this year, and Sheridan got maligned a

373
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: whole lot. He certainly didn't call a perfect season. I

374
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: thought he was in a very very poor position because

375
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: of not solely. This is not the show where we're

376
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: gonna sit here and blame Jalen Milroe for everything that

377
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 1: went wrong with Alabama this year. I do think wild

378
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: inconsistency at the quarterback position greatly hamstrung them this year

379
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: as a team, and that includes guys trying to call

380
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: the plays. So what I'm trying to tell you is

381
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: poor results this year don't necessarily mean everyone associated with

382
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: it was trash. So I think Sheridan's a really good coach.

383
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: And I say that because a lot of other coaches

384
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: tell me that pretty frequently. It's told me that during

385
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: the season too. I don't mean on the Alabama staff either,

386
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: by the way, So he stays there. Grub comes in,

387
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: looks like he'll be the play caller. So that brings

388
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: me to my next question, which is, oh, wait, it's

389
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: the exact same question we've had. Grub's not playing quarterback,

390
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: so who's it gonna be? Now? There is one very

391
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: notable difference here, and that difference is Ryan Grubb was

392
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: at Washington when they recruited Austin Mack, and Austin Mack

393
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: has since transferred to Alabama. Does that make him the favorite?

394
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 1: Because if you listen to the whispers out of Tuscaloosa,

395
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: it was Ty Simpson and maybe Keeland Russell coming in,

396
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: five star true freshman, maybe he grabs the job at

397
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: some point during the year, and just Austin Max kind

398
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: of also in the mix. I don't know if this

399
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: dynamic changes anything. I don't know if they know. You know,

400
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: it's not the worst thing in the world. If you

401
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: don't have a slam dunk situation in front of you

402
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: to just let it play out. It is okay to

403
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: let competition do the job that it's supposed to do

404
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: in spring. But I will tell you the same thing

405
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: I would have said whether Ryan Grubb is getting hired

406
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: there or not. Boy, they got to be able to

407
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: run the ball better. One of the great disappointments around

408
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: Alabama this past year was, yes, inefficient and inconsistent quarterback play,

409
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: but man, them having the tailbacks they had, both of

410
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: whom I still think pretty highly of, and them not

411
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: being able to run the ball. It's not solely on

412
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: any one person. I know that, but whatever, It's a

413
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: new year. You got to figure out how to be

414
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: able to run the ball. Man, Like Alabama, when in

415
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: the world have they been successful when they can't run

416
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: the ball. We're sitting here talking about Georgia being in

417
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: the one hundreds in rush yards per game this year.

418
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: Off the top of my head, I don't know where

419
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 1: Obama was. It was not good enough, and a lot

420
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: of that rushing success came via the quarterback. So the

421
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: tailback position underachieved greatly. And I personally am not of

422
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: the opinion that it was just all on personnel. So

423
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: if it was, it was whatever, figure it out, get

424
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: it better. And then oh, also, it just so happens

425
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: those guys coached Michael Pennix into a Heisman caliber season. Yes,

426
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: we have that working for you as well down there.

427
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: This is a big move there. It's a really big

428
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: move for them. I kind of thought it was going

429
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: that way. I hadn't talked about it on the show

430
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: because I thought that he may get an NFL job

431
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: because he didn't have a disastrous year in Seattle this year.

432
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,959
Speaker 1: It was just I think stylistically it maybe have been

433
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of oil and water compared to what

434
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: the brass wanted up there. But I think Grub was

435
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: probably in the mix for some of these other NFL

436
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 1: coordinator jobs. It's no coincidence, by the way, when all

437
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: these stories break it one time, that's cause the job

438
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: market has sorted itself out in real time, and then

439
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: the dominoes fall and then the other ones fall. So

440
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: we'll see how this works out. But it's the guy

441
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: you initially wanted. It's the guy that you're very familiar with,

442
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: and you took Washington to a National championship game with

443
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: amateur cybe. So if you're Kaitlyn de Borg, you got

444
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: to be smiling pretty big. Tonight. I talked to someone

445
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: on the staff. I cannot be any more specific than

446
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: this for legal reasons. I'm talking to someone on the

447
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: staff earlier, our staff, not Alabama's staff. And they made

448
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: a trip last night to a city, it's the biggest

449
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: city in Indiana for a certain event that is held

450
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: once a year in January. And on the way there

451
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: and or on the way back, one of our members

452
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: on the staff wanted to stop at Quick Trip. That

453
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 1: person will be affiliated with this show, hopefully for years

454
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: to come. Another member that has somewhat had affiliation with

455
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: the show said, no, we're going to censored. I don't

456
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 1: want to say the name of the alternative. And you know,

457
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: I was both elated and disappointed to find out that

458
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: we've got treachery in our midst. We don't have room

459
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: for those kinds of people in our family. We do

460
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: have room for Producer Jesse. Producer Jesse was the good guy.

461
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: He was the babyface in this story because they went

462
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: up to Royal Rumble and Jesse wanted to stop at

463
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 1: Quick Trip because he's been trained well and he's got

464
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: good sense, he's got good home training, and you know,

465
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: some other members of our staff not so much. And

466
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: they'll be dealt with. They're not in the building tonight,

467
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: but they'll be dealt with accordingly. Quick Trip has fueled

468
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 1: the whole New Saturday tour. I mean, they've been with

469
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: us all year. They've given away dozens and dozens and

470
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: dozens of taking some free gas to our audience. Hey,

471
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: that's enough for us. Apparently not enough for some people

472
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: around here, but that's enough for us. So we appreciate them,

473
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: and you will too, and try the cold brew on

474
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: tap while you're at it. Let's move along, you know,

475
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: let's see when's our last show. Our last show was Thursday.

476
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: So on the Thursday show, you know, we talked about

477
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,239
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. It wasn't an NFL segment, but Cam had

478
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: said something that I thought could rap back around into

479
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: college football. And then I walked out of the building

480
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 1: that night and I thought, well, that was weird. He'll

481
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: probably be a long time before we do a segment

482
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: that's kind of like that again. And then last night happened.

483
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: Tyler hit me up. He said, Hey, what's the college

484
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 1: football equivalent of the Luka danchetch trade, assuming Commissioner Pate

485
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: makes rules allowing for such trades. So if you're like

486
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: me and you couldn't care less about the NBA, you

487
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: were probably at dinner last night with management no less

488
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 1: monthly obligation, and you get a text and you're looking down.

489
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: It's like breaking news. Okay, yeah, but it involves the

490
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks. What do I care? Yeah, but you're gonna

491
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: want to check this news. So I checked it. Yes, yes, okay, Eve,

492
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: And I will admit pretty big news. So you got

493
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: Luca goes to la you got ad that goes to Dallas.

494
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: A few other moving parts. Don't really care. So I

495
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: was fine leaving it at that, But then an alarming

496
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: amount of you hit me and you said, first off,

497
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: could this ever happen in college football? Well, of course not,

498
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: given the current structure. But then you said, no, put

499
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: on your future glasses. Could it happen? Like, there's a

500
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: lot of stuff that happens right now that if I

501
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: were to predict a decade ago, you would have run

502
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: me out of the building. Think about describing NIL a

503
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: decade ago. Think about describing the portal, Think about going

504
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: through spring and then losing a bunch of your guys

505
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 1: to arrival in your conference and explaining that decade ago,

506
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: no one in their right mind would have even paid

507
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: you attention. So I'm not going to rule anything out

508
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: for the year twenty thirty five. If I'm the commissioner

509
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: by then, I probably will be. If I'm the commissioner

510
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: by then, No, we're not gonna have trades. That's not

511
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: that's not on my personal game plan. That's not in

512
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,239
Speaker 1: my Project twenty thirty five, a file I'm working on

513
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: right now. It's now we're in near complete, but we've

514
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: got time. I think we've got time. But I will

515
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: tell you this, there is a scenario that I came

516
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: up with. It's not exactly like this trade, but it

517
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: could happen. There is something like this that could happen.

518
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: So you got the Luca trade and that sends everyone

519
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: into a flurry of tweets and panic and whatnot in

520
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: the NBA. I mean, the Luca trade like set the

521
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: NBA on fire, and everyone's like, could that ever happen?

522
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: In college football? Well, not with players. Even if you

523
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: were able to trade players, I don't think there's any

524
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 1: player for player swap short of like Arch Manning or

525
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: someone like that movie. I don't think there's like a

526
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: player for players swap that would be that kind of bombshell,

527
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: because college football players, aside from very very few exceptions,

528
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: are not the stars of college football. Coaches are. Historically,

529
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: coaches have been the superstars because they're around for a

530
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: long time, and no player who is capable of becoming

531
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: a star is ever around college football for more than

532
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: three years, sometimes four years normally. So how would it happen? Then, Well,

533
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: I'll tell you how it would happen. This is rare

534
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned. I don't think it's ever

535
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: happened before. But if you wanted me to paint a

536
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: scenario for you, there's one thing that I could see happening.

537
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to follow me here because your instinct

538
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: is going to be to shoot it down really quickly.

539
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: But just because it hasn't happened doesn't mean it can't happen,

540
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: all right, So there are a few needs for this

541
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: scenario to play out. Here's what would have to happen.

542
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: You got to have two head coaches that are not

543
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 1: exactly thrilled with their current situation. They're probably both at

544
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: good programs. They're probably both roughly equal at least comparable

545
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: in terms of the caliber of job they have, And

546
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, one of them is disgruntled over here

547
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: for one reason and the other one's disgruntled over here

548
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: for another reason. Their athletic directors are on the same page.

549
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: So let's put some names here. This is purely hypothetical.

550
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 1: I cannot overstate that enough. Let's say Kirby Smart at

551
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: Georgia is tired of having his effectiveness question anytime he

552
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: doesn't win a national championship, and Georgia at the same

553
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: time is like, man, you know, maybe ten years is enough,

554
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: and we want to be better offensively anyway, So if

555
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: you want to make a break, then we'll agree to

556
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: make a break. Let's just say that was the dynamic

557
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,719
Speaker 1: in Athens right now. It's not, but let's say it was.

558
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: Then Let's say over in Oxford, Mississippi, lame Kiffin was

559
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: just trying to level up. He's trying to get one

560
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: of the five or so premier jobs in the sport.

561
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: He thinks he needs to go to program that caliber

562
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: to win a championship, and Ole miss is like we're

563
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: not going to continue to do this every year. If

564
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: you don't appreciate what you have here, then okay, we're

565
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: not firing you. Certainly we're not firing you. But if

566
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: you walked away whatever, and then someone in the room

567
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: realizes both of those guys have the same agent, because

568
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: I think it would take that the agent would have

569
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: to be the pivot point. And if one agent represented

570
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: two guys that were at roughly comparable jobs and each

571
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: of them was disgruntled enough to one out, that agent

572
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: could pitch one on the other job and the other

573
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: on the initial job, and you could have just basically

574
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: a swap. And if both the ads were on board.

575
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: This is like a one in a million type scenario.

576
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: But I could see a world where if this guy

577
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: over here is disgruntled enough, and that guy's disgruntled enough,

578
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: and the agent's listening to both of them in each

579
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: of his ears, he just says, hey, three way call

580
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: right quick, what would you guys think about swapping jobs?

581
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: Sounds very expotish, I will agree with you. It sounds

582
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: like something EA Sports would implement in the game a

583
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: lot more than would happen in real life. But short

584
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: of that, the question posed to me was what would

585
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: the equivalent be in college football. We wouldn't have one.

586
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: Players can't get traded in college football right now. In

587
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: the future, I still don't think they will be able

588
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: to be traded, even if they're employees. I'm not sure

589
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: what the legal mechanisms are there. And then someone said

590
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: in the comments, would this be like peyt State trading

591
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: you to Barstool in exchange for Brandon Walker? Yes, I

592
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: see where you're going there, white hot Star, his best

593
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: stays still in front of him, with an overexposed and

594
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: past his prime asset coming back in return, and I'll

595
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: let you decide which is which. Yes, I could see

596
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: where you're going with that, But it would be very

597
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: mean if I agreed with that, because that's rude, and

598
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: I should never compare myself to Luca and Brandon Walker

599
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: to ad in this scenario. That would not be fair,

600
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: would not be fair at all. And I want to

601
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: emphasize I am not saying that that would be a

602
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: very very one sided trade that favored Barstool and everyone

603
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: around here would be irate that all they got dropped

604
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: in their lap was Brandon Walker. I'm not saying that

605
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: at all. No one heard me say that clear enough? Yeah,

606
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: I think I was clear enough. Okay, let's move on. Sorry.

607
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: All I've got is the water jug tonight, So we've

608
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: got a hydrate. At some point during the show, we'd

609
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: probably probably need a branded water jug because half the

610
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: time that's what I bring out here, and then I

611
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: just just forget to use it or don't want to

612
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: use it. So we're gonna start using it, all right,

613
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: let's move along. Oh, by the way, I opened the

614
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,239
Speaker 1: mailbox today, the mail bag today, I saw a lot

615
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: of you were asking me some questions about this storm

616
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: Chaser bill in Oklahoma. I don't have time for it

617
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: in tonight's show, but I just want to let I

618
00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: want to let everyone in the political scene in Oklahoma. No,

619
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: I am watching what's happening out there right now, and

620
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: if you screw this up, we will burn Oklahoma to

621
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: the ground figuratively. They're trying to come for us a

622
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: little bit out there, and we won't have it. The

623
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: community will stand up against this. We will not have it.

624
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: But that's for another show, maybe for like an extra

625
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: mailbag episode this week. In the meantime, this is a

626
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: big moment. I'm not gonna stand up. We don't have

627
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: a podium or anything like that. It's that time. It's

628
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: time for future Commissioner Pate to put on his future

629
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: commission shirt, which ironically is the same white T shirt

630
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: I always wear. But I was asked earlier today. Hey,

631
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: if you were the commissioner, you can just do whatever

632
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: you want to. Forget about what's possible and impossible in

633
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: the future. If you're the commissioner, you can just executive

634
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: order your way around anything and everything. What would you do, well,

635
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: I know exactly what I would do. I'd fix conferences

636
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: among many day one initial that I would have if

637
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: I was the commissioner of college football, and let's be real,

638
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: I will be at some point. I would make conferences

639
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: make sense. Again, conferences don't make sense in college football.

640
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: Conferences used to make geographical sense size wise, they made sense. Numerically,

641
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: they made sense. Believe it or not. Kids, there was

642
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: a time where the Big Ten had ten teams in it,

643
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: and the Big Ten was a bunch of schools in

644
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: the Upper Midwest. And now Oregan's in the Big Ten,

645
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: and now Rutgers is playing a conference game in the

646
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: LA Coliseum. It just makes no sense. So it doesn't

647
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: have to be that way. And you're telling me, if

648
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: I'm the commissioner with the power of this pen, I

649
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,719
Speaker 1: can I can just executive order my way back to

650
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: the college football that I want. Well, that's what we're

651
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: doing here tonight. So this is what I would like

652
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: to do. I'm not just going to broad stroke you immunity.

653
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: I think I am going to tell you the conferences

654
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: that I would have and this this is the real

655
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: fun part. And I'm also going to tell you some

656
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: moves that I'm gonna make. And I'm also gonna tell

657
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: you some protocols, some guidelines that I've put in place here.

658
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,399
Speaker 1: So the first thing I want to do, Hey, where

659
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: else would we start? You know, the reputation of this show.

660
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,720
Speaker 1: Let's show them what the SEC would consist of, because

661
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: there are some big changes in the SEC. The first

662
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: thing you'll notice is there's an absence of Texas and Oklahoma. Well,

663
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: they're not in the SEC anymore. They shouldn't be in

664
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: the SEC now, So you'll notice that they're gone. Where's Vanderbilt.

665
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt's not in the SEC anymore either. I'll tell you

666
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: where they're going in just a second. Texas, A and

667
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: m Ay and m They've been here for over a decade,

668
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: will not no MO. So they're leaving, but they're not disappearing.

669
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 1: I'm just realigning. Hey, do you also notice there are

670
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: only ten teams in my new SEC. That's because there

671
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: is no conference with more than ten teams. And I'm

672
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: gonna tell you why, Because every single conference out there

673
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: is going to include a schedule where everybody plays everybody,

674
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: instead of this lunacy that sees Florida play half of

675
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: the the top ten teams in the country, and I

676
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: got Missouri just skating through Tennessee. This year's got an

677
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: infinitely easier schedule than the Florida. That's not their fault.

678
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: That's the fault of us putting the wrong adults in

679
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 1: the room to make decisions. Never underestimate how badly having

680
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: the wrong hands on the wheel of anything can screw

681
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: that thing up. Let's go to the Big ten, Colin,

682
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,760
Speaker 1: who are we gonna put in there? More importantly, hoops

683
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: to be taken out. So in the Big ten, I

684
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: got Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Ohio State,

685
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: Penn State, there Perdue, Wisconsin, I have removed Maryland via

686
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: executive order from the Big Ten cause I don't think

687
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: they belong there. Rutgers does not belong there. And also

688
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: once you get to, oh, I don't know, Iowa and Minnesota,

689
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 1: that's it. You don't go any further west, nor should

690
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: you in the Big Ten footprint than Iowa and Minnesota.

691
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: There is no West Coast team in the Big Ten

692
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: because there shouldn't be, because conferences are about geography, they're

693
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 1: about territory. Big Ten football as a phrase used to

694
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: mean something. It used to pop an image in your mind,

695
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: and now it could be UCLA or it could be

696
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 1: Michigan State. So that makes no sense. It never has been.

697
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: This next edition, and it is an addition is long overdue,

698
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: long overdue. I'm bringing the Southwest Conference back. The Southwest Conference,

699
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: my favorite conference to talk about. The Southwest Conference was

700
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: taken from us well before it's time. They are going

701
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 1: to play for the Sherwood Blunt Memorial Trophy as the

702
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: conference championship award in this conference. I'm bringing all the

703
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: old school teams back. I'm throwing to Arkansas over there,

704
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: so Arkansas is not in the SEC anymore. I'm putting

705
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: them back in the Southwest Conference. Oklahoma. This will be

706
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: a little controversial because OU was not in the original SWC,

707
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: but I'm putting them in the Southwest Conference too. And

708
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: aside from that, it's just a bunch of the Texas schools. Now,

709
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: a casual is not a casual. A younger viewer may

710
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: watch this, and or a casual viewer. They're not one

711
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 1: and the same. But I could see a younger viewer

712
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 1: who doesn't know what the Southwest Conference was, or a

713
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: casual who's just been convinced you have to be coast

714
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 1: to coast to be a conference, and they may look

715
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: at this and say, oh, that'll never work. Just a

716
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: bunch of Texas teams. Who's going to watch that? Ton

717
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 1: of people? A ton of people will because this is

718
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: the way college football is supposed to be presented, and

719
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: this is the way a conference is supposed to look. Now,

720
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: I want to say something you may have noticed, which

721
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: there we go right there. Do you see right here?

722
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: If you're listening on podcasts, I am pointing very aggressively

723
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: at Rice. I want you to listen to me. Rice.

724
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: I've got my eye on you. You are entering the

725
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: Southwest Conference on probation, not for the reasons everyone used

726
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: to be on probation down there. You're entering the Southwest

727
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: Conference on probation because the only reason you're entering this

728
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:58,479
Speaker 1: conference is due to legacy and tradition and history. Because

729
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 1: you really don't belong at this table right now. We

730
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: know that. You know that, I know that, the dozens

731
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: and dozens of people who show up to your games

732
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: know that. But I'm putting you there for the sake

733
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 1: of history. If you screw this up, I will relegate

734
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: you in a heartbeat, because I have built in a

735
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: relegation system. Also, you'll notice A and M is rightfully

736
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 1: back in the Southwest Conference. I do want to console

737
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: and reassure my friends in College station. This is not

738
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: the old school Southwest Conference that really should just have

739
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: been the Longhorn logo. It won't be like that. You've

740
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: got You've got a friend in the Commissioner's office here.

741
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 1: Not that I'm anti Texas, but I'm pro fairness. So

742
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: a lot of the a lot of the fears you

743
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: just had, you don't have to worry about that anymore.

744
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: I also, this could be day two stuff. I would

745
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: love to install. Eric Dickerson and Craig James as co

746
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: commissioners in this conference. They haven't called me back yet,

747
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: and you know, maybe maybe it would be a no,

748
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 1: but I sure would love. I would love to basically

749
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: recall as much of the old Southwest Conference as I can.

750
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: I'm bringing back another conference. This is gonna be fun too.

751
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 1: By the way, if you're watching, yes, this is pure

752
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: fantasy Land. But we do college football all year, so

753
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:14,800

761
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: reason that the Big Eight ever became the Big Twelve

762
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: is because they murdered the Southwest Conference. And so what

763
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm doing is I'm just I'm just fixing history. I

764
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: am unmurdering the Southwest Conference. We're resurrecting it. It is

765
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: the Lazarus of conferences. It's back to life. And now

766
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: the Big Eight is You're gonna have your mind blown

767
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: by this. It's a conference called the Big Eight. It's

768
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: gonna have eight teams in it. Colorado, Iowa State, but

769
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 1: the Kansas schools. Nebraska's back there, Missouri's back there, Oklahoma State, Utah.

770
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: I am resurrecting some rivalries and the process just we're

771
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: fixing a great injustice that was done I think back

772
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: in the early nineties, and I'm bringing back the old

773
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: logos as well. Southwest Conference. Yes, the w closely resembles

774
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: what maybe the female reproductive system would look like in

775
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: a textbook. And I get that, and I know we'll

776
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: hear some complaints about it, but we got we got

777
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: to stick with history. We're not going the route of

778
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:38,240
Speaker 1: the like the Super Bowl, where the logos become corporatized,

779
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: as opposed to back in the day when they used

780
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: to look a really good in artsy. We're keeping the

781
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: Southwest Conference logo. We're keeping the Big Eight logo. Now,

782
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: the ACC is where it's going to get a little controversial.

783
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: So I'm throwing Maryland back in the ACC. Some of

784
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: the other teams that are usually over there are over there, however,

785
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: because of what I'm going to do in just a

786
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 1: second with the big EA. There are a number of

787
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 1: teams in the ACC that are notably absent. Number one

788
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 1: SYRACU sitting there. Well, that's because they don't belong in

789
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 1: the ACC. They're going back to where they belong. So

790
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: is Boston College, so is Louisville, so is Virginia Tech.

791
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: And more on that in just a second. So there

792
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: you go, ten teams in the ACC. Everyone's gonna play everyone.

793
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: Guess what else is back? PAC twelve. Pate is here

794
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,919
Speaker 1: to tell you that the PAC twelve's not coming back,

795
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: because the PAC ten is coming back with the classic

796
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: sunshine logo and all. The PAC ten was always the

797
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: easiest conference to memorize. You had the two Washingtons, you

798
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: had the two Oregons, you had the two LA schools,

799
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: you had the two Arizonas, and then you had the

800
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 1: two Bay Area schools. And that's the ten. Just so simple.

801
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: It's no wonder that adults screwed it up because it

802
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: was too perfect. Nothing perfect last forever except in our memory,

803
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: or if I'm elected commissioner, in which case some of

804
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 1: this perfection can come back. I'm bringing back the logo

805
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: I'm bringing back to Pac ten. Yes, and then I've

806
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: got to bring back the Big East. Because, as you'll notice,

807
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,760
Speaker 1: if you've been paying attention, I haven't mentioned Virginia Tech. Well,

808
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 1: that's because they're going to be in the Big East,

809
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: because they were in the Big East. I'm throwing West

810
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: Virginia in the Big East because I don't like that

811
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: their closest home game is like a thousand miles away

812
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,280
Speaker 1: right now, they've never felt like the Big twelve, plus

813
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve has become the Big eight in this world.

814
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: So I'm throwing West Virginia in there. Yukon in a

815
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: former life, I made Yukon an independent and our buddy

816
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: Jack Mac protested and I give him one protest a year,

817
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 1: and he burned his protest on my hypothetical resurrection of

818
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: the Big East and including Yukon. So there it is.

819
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: It's February and he's burned it, and he's got Yukon

820
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: in the Big East. Congratulations. So is Louisville, so is

821
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: pitt and Sincy and Boston College and UCF. That was

822
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: the one. Look, deal with it. There are bigger things

823
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: to worry about than UCF not historically having been in

824
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 1: the Big East. But I put them there. That's because

825
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: they're currently a Power five caliber team and I wanted

826
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: to slot them somewhere and they didn't really fit anywhere else.

827
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: Now Here is what some will call a problem, but

828
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a problem. Notre Dame's gonna maintain

829
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: their independence, which that's just normal. That's been normal for

830
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 1: most of our lifetimes. Brigham Young's going back to be

831
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: an independent. It's just a numbers thing, and you guys

832
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: have been independent before. Northwestern's going to be independent. I

833
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: didn't have room for them, and they're one of the

834
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: least relevant football programs in that conference, but they are

835
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 1: one of the charter members. And I know that, I

836
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,760
Speaker 1: know my history. I know, but I'm going on product

837
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: on field today, and look, if you guys want to

838
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: have a knife fight with some other lower tier team

839
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten, you can do that, or you

840
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: can just win your way back in because there will

841
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: be a promotion and relegation system here. I don't have

842
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: time to spell it out, but there will be promotion

843
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: and relegation baked into this Vanderbin. Tough luck, especially because

844
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: of this past year, but I got to throw you

845
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 1: guys in the independent pile two. You can play your

846
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: way back in. You can play your way back in.

847
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: But I had to make some tough decisions. I shaved

848
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 1: the SEC down to ten. It's what is it's fourteen

849
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: or sixteen right now? You didn't make the cup. I'm

850
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: sorry you didn't make the cut. Like I said, there

851
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: will be promotion, there will be relegation. Not everyone who

852
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 1: has been given spots in these conferences is gonna end

853
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: up earning them. I know that, and you know that.

854
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,720
Speaker 1: So if Clark and the boys over there just keep winning,

855
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: you will have a seat at the table. So this

856
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 1: is where I want to go because I was told

857
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 1: I can do whatever I want. This is where I

858
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: want to go with college football. This is where I

859
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: want to go to conferences. I cannot wait to listen

860
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: to everyone agree with me in the comment section. Thank

861
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: you very much in advance. Let's move on. I'm seeing

862
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: a lot of questions about teams like Tulane USF in

863
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: the comment section. My thinking on that was they're not

864
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: currently a you call a Power five conference, so I

865
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: didn't elevate any of them. I elevated Rice, which is

866
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,760
Speaker 1: kind of inexplicable. But I did that cause they previously

867
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: were in the Southwest conference. That's it, trust me, that's all.

868
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen how big Rice's stadium is. By

869
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: the way, there's some good YouTube videos on just how

870
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 1: randomly huge Rice's stadium was. JFK delivered the We're going

871
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,879
Speaker 1: to the Moon speech there in the sixties. They fit

872
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 1: like seventy thousand people in that place, and like seventy

873
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,280
Speaker 1: people show up for Rice games. Some very unnecessary shots

874
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: at Rice tonight, but you know, we've had a long

875
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: and storied history with Food. Number one rule on the

876
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: show is love. Meme on number two is don't lose

877
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: to food. Rice's stadium so much bigger than some of

878
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 1: these other places that pack their stadiums every week. Anyway. Yeah,

879
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: so Twulane could they could, They could promote themselves as

880
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,879
Speaker 1: someone else. Relegates South Florida could be the same way.

881
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying it's perfect. I'm saying it's close

882
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: enough to perfect for me. Let's move on. I had

883
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: several questions now that all these odds have been posted,

884
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 1: which many of you have noticed. Obviously FanDuel's got all

885
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:17,240
Speaker 1: the odds posted. Well, they've got all the conference odds posted.

886
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of lines of the year posted.

887
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 1: So I was looking at this earlier today. I think

888
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 1: there's some money to be made right now, at least

889
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: I think there are some wise bets to be placed.

890
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: I already placed one. I'll tell you what it is

891
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,720
Speaker 1: in just a second. So the conference odds are out,

892
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: so I'm looking at the SEC. We'll end up talking

893
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: about a number of them. But if you're listening on podcasts,

894
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:42,439
Speaker 1: there are eight teams at well, actually there are four

895
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: teams at plus seven hundred or better, and then there

896
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: are eight teams at plus eighteen hundred or better. But

897
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:53,280
Speaker 1: here's what's crazy. The experience at quarterback is down the board.

898
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: So Texas is the favorite to win the conference right now.

899
00:46:56,320 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 1: Knew a quarterback. Georgia knew it quarterback, and there's a

900
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 1: little gap. And then Tennessee's got Nico back. Bama we

901
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: do not know. They're fourth. Old mess is retooling most

902
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:13,800
Speaker 1: of their team their fifth. LSU's tied for fifth. I

903
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 1: actually already bet on this today, So I mean it

904
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: when I say I bet LSU didn't stay at plus

905
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: one thousand. LSU's a lot better team than that. LSU

906
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 1: is a lot bigger contender than plus one thousand. They

907
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: got the experience coming back at quarterback. I thought they

908
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,359
Speaker 1: did a great job in the portal. This is year

909
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,879
Speaker 1: two with a very very good defensive staff having been

910
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: brought in. There. There are I'm telling you, man, there's

911
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: some worlds. There's some paths where LSU wins this thing

912
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 1: and then LSU as a prime contender in the playoff

913
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: this upcoming year. That's not a prediction because it's February.

914
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: But if we're looking at the odds market, if FanDuel

915
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: is wondering where that sudden chunk of money came in

916
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 1: on LSU earlier today, it was me. It was me

917
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 1: Austin Florida, I think is manually lowered. So they're at

918
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 1: plus thirty three hundred, which is ninth. They got the

919
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: ninth best odds to win the sec it's schedule. If

920
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: I did nothing more than flip Tennessee and Florida's schedule,

921
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,919
Speaker 1: I think Florida would be around plus one thousand, which

922
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: is just crazy. They may even be higher than that. Now,

923
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 1: there is a hater somewhere out there, mark my words,

924
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 1: there is a hater somewhere out there that's gonna look

925
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:32,280
Speaker 1: at the fact that Florida plays LSU, Miami, Texas, Texas

926
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: A and m Georgia, Ole Miss and Tennessee and they're

927
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 1: gonna say camp but they're playing Long Island. Look at

928
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:45,879
Speaker 1: the sec soft scheduling again. There will be a hater

929
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: that says that out there somewhere. Also, Colin, could you

930
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: throw up that odds board one more time, because there

931
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: is there is one team this just jarring? Which one

932
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 1: do you think, if you're watching on YouTube, which of

933
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,800
Speaker 1: these teams is most jarring in terms of their placement.

934
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 1: I think Old Miss may drop a little bit their

935
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 1: plus one thousand South Carolina There'll be some money come

936
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: in on them. At plus eighteen hundred, Auburn total wildcard,

937
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 1: biggest wildcard on the board. Look at Oklahoma. Oklahoma's down

938
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:19,840
Speaker 1: at plus sixty five hundred year four, isn't it now,

939
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: oh Man, odds mean exactly what they mean. This is

940
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 1: not an order of finish or anything like that. But

941
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 1: if it were to play out roughly like the preseason

942
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 1: odds suggest it will, that means Oklahoma is a total

943
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 1: non factor this year. That means teams are getting fat

944
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 1: by playing Oklahoma. Instead of the other way around. If

945
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: that's the case, again, some tough conversations to be had

946
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:53,839
Speaker 1: out there. They play Michigan week two and again, one

947
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: of the biggest scheduling anomalies in all of major college

948
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 1: football this year. I've done a lot of pointing on

949
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: the show tonight. I don't really know where that habit

950
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,760
Speaker 1: came from, but right here, someone's gonna have to explain

951
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: this one to me. If you're driving around Chickashet and

952
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 1: you're listening on podcast and you haven't checked your schedule

953
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 1: this year and you plan on going to, you know,

954
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:19,280
Speaker 1: some of the road games, get ready to speak Philly transit,

955
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:21,839
Speaker 1: my friend, because you're going to play in Temple. You're

956
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,839
Speaker 1: going to in Temple, not necessarily in the Temple. You're

957
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:31,439
Speaker 1: playing at Temple. This is just me wondering why. That's

958
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. There's got to be an explanation. I

959
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: know there is. I'm just waiting on someone at Oklahoma

960
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: to give it to me. So, yeah, Texas and Georgia

961
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 1: at one and two, that's just blind trust. That's the

962
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,959
Speaker 1: thing Bama used to get. So Bama under Saban would

963
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 1: be the favorite every year, even if he lost his

964
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:52,879
Speaker 1: coaching staff, and his quarterback and five of his top

965
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: six production guys on offense. He'd just be the favorite

966
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 1: because it was Alabama and it was Nick Saban and

967
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 1: dare you to bet against him? Well, that's Texas and

968
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 1: Georgia right now now. I think some of you would

969
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: listen to that, and you'd say, but has Texas earned that? Well,

970
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if they have. They've got it, So

971
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: if you don't think they should have it, bet against

972
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:16,880
Speaker 1: them would be my advice. They're watching us in Seneca, Kansas, Tyler,

973
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: Texas and beautiful Steamboat Springs, Colorado. What do we got?

974
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:23,479
Speaker 1: We got over two thousand, got over twenty two hundred

975
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: watching live right now. So appreciated college football people year round,

976
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: Just college football year round. I know you guys don't

977
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 1: need to be told that, but I know some of

978
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 1: your friends out there are having a tough time right now.

979
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 1: And they may not have any problems at home, they

980
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 1: may not be dealing with anything at work, life may

981
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 1: be going okay, it's just college football's thirty weeks away

982
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 1: from kickoff right now, and they're in a little bit

983
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:54,839
Speaker 1: of a personal rut because they miss it. Tell them

984
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: there's a show that just talks about it all year

985
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 1: that we don't even use the word off. Just let

986
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: them know, and then when they come over here or

987
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: when you grab their phone, subscribe. While you're here, let's

988
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,800
Speaker 1: talk about that Penn State question. We got a lot

989
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:09,879
Speaker 1: of different angles left to go. You know, some folks

990
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: are talking about canceling their spring games. Why, I'll let

991
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 1: you know in a second. Yeah, So I had to

992
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 1: get my notes in order, so we had a question

993
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: here that sounds a little rambling. This question goes a

994
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: lot of different directions, but that's not a bad thing,

995
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 1: because this is where your mind should be in February.

996
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: The question is what's your absolutely honest take on Penn State.

997
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 1: I feel like there's too much hype, But even as

998
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,880
Speaker 1: a fan, I feel like I don't know. But I

999
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: want to buy into the hype. But until I see something,

1000
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 1: question Mark, I don't even know what that something is.

1001
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: Can you tell me what that something could be? Like

1002
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:52,719
Speaker 1: Neil Young lyrics don't bother googling, So this is okay,

1003
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 1: this is you know, in Billy Madison, this would get

1004
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 1: you would get awarded no points May God have on

1005
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: your soul. That's what someone would tell you if you

1006
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 1: asked that question in Billy Madison. But this is college

1007
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: football in February. Your mind as it relates to figuring

1008
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: out your team this upcoming year, it should be mush.

1009
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 1: No one knows you're in winter conditioning right now. I

1010
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 1: was talking to a coach today about winter conditioning at

1011
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 1: that program, and I mean they're talking about how much

1012
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: they have to figure out. Well, that's the guy running

1013
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 1: the team, So how in the world are you supposed

1014
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: to know? It wasn't James Franklin. So it's okay. Look,

1015
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 1: the gelatine was put in the fridge a minute ago.

1016
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,319
Speaker 1: It's still sloshing around, and so is your opinion or

1017
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:40,360
Speaker 1: your take on your team. I'll tell you where my

1018
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:42,919
Speaker 1: mind would be. If I were a Penn State fan,

1019
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:48,359
Speaker 1: I would be very excited. I am watching my head

1020
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: coach and I'm watching my program be all in and

1021
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: we're going for broke. We just hired Jim Knowles. We're

1022
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 1: paying a coordinator over three million dollars a year. Just unbelievable.

1023
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: The vibes coming out of last year. We were playing

1024
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: in a semi final game and we've got the quarterback

1025
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 1: from that team that made a very costly error at

1026
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: the end back and we've got a critical nucleus of

1027
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: those guys back, and we've got our same offensive coordinator

1028
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 1: for a second year in a row, and we've got

1029
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: Jim Knowles, and defense has never really been that big

1030
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 1: an issue for us, So I'd be excited about it.

1031
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: Schedule is not overly daunting. We should be I mean,

1032
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 1: we should get to the beginning of the season kind

1033
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 1: of like Ohio State was able to start last year,

1034
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:33,359
Speaker 1: where there's not a massive challenge. But then I'd look

1035
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:35,399
Speaker 1: at my schedule the same way I'd always look at

1036
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 1: Penn State schedule. Are we gonna beat someone we're not

1037
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 1: favored to beat. It's been the question for me, at

1038
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 1: least around that program for a while. You know what,

1039
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 1: they still didn't do it last year. They am I

1040
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 1: gonna do this. Let me do the thirty second version

1041
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 1: of it. Bear with me. If you watch or listen

1042
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 1: to the show a lot, thank you should bear with

1043
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 1: me for a second. One of the lies that's told

1044
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: a lot in college football. And someone says James Franklin

1045
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: is overrated or Penn State is overrated, They're not he

1046
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 1: and they are so properly rated. They beat virtually everyone

1047
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: that they're favored to beat, and they lose to a

1048
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:12,759
Speaker 1: lot of teams that they're not favored to beat. That

1049
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:16,879
Speaker 1: is not being overrated. You continue to do that until infinity,

1050
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,879
Speaker 1: and that is being properly rated. Now, when you start

1051
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: losing to a bunch of teams that you're favored against,

1052
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: that's when you were overrated. But Penn State not being

1053
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:27,800
Speaker 1: able to beat Ohio State, that doesn't mean they're overrated

1054
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 1: because no one rated them higher than Ohio State. So

1055
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:34,360
Speaker 1: this year they'll play them again. They'll go to Ohio

1056
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 1: State in Week ten, they'll get Oregon in Happy Valley

1057
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:40,399
Speaker 1: Week five. You're gonna beat one of them, Like I'm

1058
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 1: asking my team that if I'm Penn State fan, or

1059
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 1: we're gonna beat one of them, because that would be

1060
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,799
Speaker 1: the next step. Because even this past year, if you

1061
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 1: wanted to be a real glass half empty, doom and

1062
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,959
Speaker 1: gloom kind of curmudgeon, you could look and say, well,

1063
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: what did we do that we don't always do? And

1064
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 1: then you know, a bright eyed, younger Penn State fan

1065
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 1: would say, we went to the semi finals. We were

1066
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: one one bad decision away from potentially playing for a

1067
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 1: national championship, and then curmudgeon glass half empty guy over

1068
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: here would say, yeah, okay, but correct me if I'm wrong.

1069
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: We lost to Ohio State, just like we always do.

1070
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:20,280
Speaker 1: Somehow we backed them the Big Ten championship game, only

1071
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 1: to lose to a better team, just like we always do.

1072
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:25,320
Speaker 1: And then we got the most favorable draw of anyone

1073
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,760
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. So we beat SMU into a coma.

1074
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:31,800
Speaker 1: We were double digit favorites. We beat Boise soundly, double

1075
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 1: digit favorites again. Then we faced a team that we

1076
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 1: were evenly matched against, and what did we do? We lost,

1077
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:41,319
Speaker 1: So we still didn't beat a single team we weren't

1078
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:46,280
Speaker 1: supposed to. Now, I don't advise viewing sports or life

1079
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 1: this way, but you could you could so coming this year,

1080
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 1: whether I was glass half empty or glass half full guy,

1081
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 1: I'd look at those two games because you'll notice about

1082
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:59,800
Speaker 1: Penn State the huge upsets rarely ever happened there. I

1083
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 1: know you can't afford to take things for granted, And

1084
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 1: if I was a coach, I wouldn't. If I was

1085
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:05,800
Speaker 1: a player, I wouldn't if I if I'm a fan,

1086
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 1: or if I'm just sitting here observing the program from

1087
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: the outside looking m I gotta be honest with you.

1088
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 1: I take it for granted that Penn State's gonna show

1089
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: up and they're gonna play consistent, and they're gonna win

1090
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:19,200
Speaker 1: the games they're supposed to. And it always feels like

1091
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: a two or three game season with Penn State. It

1092
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 1: has for a quite a while to me. So that's

1093
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 1: where my mind would be. Is there is there cause

1094
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 1: for hype? Yes there is, Yes, there is there cost

1095
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:35,439
Speaker 1: to be excited. Yes there is now. I personally, if

1096
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 1: I'm Harry and Harrisburg up there, I don't love that

1097
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of folks are predicting US preseason number one.

1098
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of that, per se. But

1099
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 1: I only here's what else I hope. I hope that

1100
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 1: my organization is experienced and veteran laden enough to where

1101
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 1: the outside noise doesn't bother them either way. I mean,

1102
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 1: the mark of a really solid program is folks could

1103
00:57:59,920 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 1: be death threading you one day and crowning you the

1104
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 1: next day, and it ought to have the same effect

1105
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 1: on you. You're just even keeled, never too high, never

1106
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:10,960
Speaker 1: too low. Can't ever tell whether a guy's having a

1107
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 1: bad day or a great day. Those are unicorns, but

1108
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 1: if you find enough of them, you can make a really,

1109
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 1: really good football program out of them. Super Bowl coming

1110
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 1: up this week. Yeah, I'm aa be No, I can't

1111
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:27,919
Speaker 1: tell you that. Nevermind, I it's nothing big. I promise

1112
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 1: I didn't almost spill the beans on something that was

1113
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 1: a really big announcement. Just some travels this week. So

1114
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 1: some of you are going down to probably New Orleans

1115
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 1: to go to the super Bowl. You probably also notice

1116
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 1: tickets are expensive. Yeah, so pull some strings with our

Speaker 1: stuff at Quick Trip with that money. All right, let's

1132
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 1: move on troubling news. I hold in my hand troubling

1133
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 1: news potentially. I think we had a question about this. Yeah, so, Sean,

1134
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 1: you hit me up. You said, what are your thoughts

1135
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 1: on Matt Rule's comments about Nebraska canceling their spring game

1136
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 1: due to tampering concerns? What is that? You may say, Yeah,

1137
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 1: Sean's He's not wrong. This is happening. Like I've said

1138
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:56,920
Speaker 1: about five times in tonight's show, never underestimate how important

1139
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: it is not just to have adults in charge, but

1140
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:02,760
Speaker 1: to have write adults in charge. College football's had half

1141
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 1: of that lately. They've had adults in charge, and that's

1142
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 1: how college football gets itself into the ditch or various

1143
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: ditches that it is in right now. One of them

1144
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 1: is we've ended up due to inaction on the front end,

1145
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 1: finding ourselves in a world where we've got two transfer

1146
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 1: portal windows. And some would argue there are no windows.

1147
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 1: You can just go wherever whenever if anyone really wanted

1148
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 1: to challenge it. But we've got a situation where you

1149
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:31,280
Speaker 1: can go through spring, have your spring game guys look good,

1150
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: and then post spring get fifteen schools calling them and

1151
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 1: trying to bait them to come into the portal to

1152
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: go to their school. Ludicrous. Of course, no sane, like

1153
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 1: well thinking person believes that should be the case. But

1154
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 1: it is, so Matt Rule Jesse, I didn't even print

1155
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 1: out the quote. So if you guys quote boarded it,

1156
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:52,919
Speaker 1: let me know if you did not, can paraphrase it. Yeah, okay,

1157
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 1: we got it. So Matt Rule was doing an interview

1158
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 1: I think with the AP maybe, but this is what

1159
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 1: he said. He said, the word tampering doesn't exist anymore.

1160
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 1: It's just an absolute, free, open common market. I don't

1161
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 1: necessarily want to open up to the outside world and

1162
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 1: have people watch our guys and say, he looks like

1163
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 1: a pretty good player, let's go get him. I dealt

1164
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 1: with a lot of people offering our players a lot

1165
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: of opportunities after last year's Spring Game to go out

1166
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 1: and bring in a bunch of new players and showcase

1167
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 1: them for all the other schools to watch doesn't make

1168
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 1: a lot of sense to me. So what we have

1169
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 1: here is Matt Rulebing asked about a spring game. Nebraska

1170
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 1: had I think sixty two thousand at their spring game

1171
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 1: last year. Just a phenomenal spectacle in Lincoln, and they

1172
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:41,400
Speaker 1: always have a really good spring game. Look in Lincoln, Nebraska,

1173
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,040
Speaker 1: a place I hadn't been to see a game. It's

1174
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 1: very much, a very much priority for us, but maybe

1175
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 1: not for spring because they may cancel their spring game.

1176
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 1: And they're not the only ones. Some have already done this.

1177
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 1: They just didn't have a grand announcement about it. But

1178
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 1: there's some folks who already aren't having spring games. And

1179
01:01:57,960 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: the thinking is simple, Sean, you asked me what I

1180
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 1: think about it, Well, there's what I'd want to do

1181
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:04,920
Speaker 1: if I was a head coach, and then there's what

1182
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 1: I'd probably end up doing as a head coach. I

1183
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to cancel my spring game. But if I

1184
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 1: hold my spring game showcase a bunch of my players

1185
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:16,640
Speaker 1: for the entertainment of the crowd but also for competitive

1186
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 1: development of my team, and then the result is every

1187
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 1: other coach in America is out there watching it on

1188
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 1: TV scouting, taking notes and then offering my guys after spring.

1189
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. You want to watch my players,

1190
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:32,920
Speaker 1: you can wait until the fall when we're playing against

1191
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:37,600
Speaker 1: you to watch my players. So I have hope that

1192
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 1: the future of the transfer portal looks different and future

1193
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 1: proposals end up being ratified and they're allowed to be

1194
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 1: legally to where you got one portal window and this

1195
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:51,440
Speaker 1: is a moot point. If you don't have the ability

1196
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:53,640
Speaker 1: to hit the exit door after spring, then it's a

1197
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 1: moot point. Until then, I can't get mad. I can

1198
01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 1: be mad that it exists, but I can't get mad

1199
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 1: at Matt Rule for probably doing no different than I

1200
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 1: do if I were in his position. We talked about

1201
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 1: those odds to win the SEC earlier. Well, they've also

1202
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 1: got him for the Big Ten. You can go bet

1203
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 1: on Nebraska to win the Big Ten right now if

1204
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:13,440
Speaker 1: you want to. Maybe you don't want to. Maybe you

1205
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 1: want to go, you know, bet Chiefs minus one and

1206
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 1: a half. Maybe you want to go bet some prop

1207
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 1: market stuff for the Super Bowl. Maybe you just want

1208
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 1: to go bet on Quinnipiac basketball sick person, But I'm

1209
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 1: not here to judge. You go do it. At FanDuel.

1210
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:32,480
Speaker 1: They're the exclusive odds provider of the show. Look, I

1211
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 1: used to bet Southern Conference basketball. I mean, do you

1242
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys watching. Some would say numbers like

1244
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 1: be wrong. They just don't know our audience. They don't

1245
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 1: know them, they don't know you, they don't know us.

1246
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 1: Let's see one more question here. Oh, everyone think along

1247
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:40,520
Speaker 1: with me. I'm sure this answer will be pretty unified.

1248
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:42,600
Speaker 1: Do you think South Carolina can make the playoff and

1249
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:45,919
Speaker 1: make a run at a national championship. Now, he didn't

1250
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:48,720
Speaker 1: say just this year, so maybe any given year. Well

1251
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 1: that's two questions that I was asked there, so I

1252
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 1: got a yes and a no. Yes. Do I think

1253
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 1: they can make a run at the playoff? Sure they can,

1254
01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 1: Absolutely they can. They made it this past year. They

1255
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:02,120
Speaker 1: made a run of the playoff last year, so certainly

1256
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 1: they can. Now the second part, do you think they

1257
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 1: can win a national championship? No, I don't think they can.

1258
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 1: I don't like I'll serve that up to Shane Meemer.

1259
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 1: He'll be happy to hear that I don't think they can.

1260
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 1: But you also don't know what the value of a

1261
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:19,640
Speaker 1: hot quarterback is in the playoff. I think this past

1262
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 1: college football playoff, this first version of the twelve team playoff,

1263
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 1: may end up being a little atypical. And I'll tell

1264
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:30,600
Speaker 1: you what I mean by that. So the past ten

1265
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:33,200
Speaker 1: or fifteen years in college football, a lot of times

1266
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 1: we've seen examples of NFL first round caliber quarterbacks going

1267
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:42,720
Speaker 1: at it. Like Joe Burrow just ripped everyone in twenty nineteen.

1268
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 1: He was so good that to a tongue of Iloa

1269
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:49,360
Speaker 1: and the team he was on lost to him. And

1270
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 1: those two are just studs at the college level. Trevor

1271
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:55,440
Speaker 1: Lawrence what he did even as a true freshman, like,

1272
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:59,160
Speaker 1: we've seen examples of really elite, high level quarterback play,

1273
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 1: and so you would find yourself saying, boy, someone's got

1274
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:06,160
Speaker 1: to beat that guy to win a championship. Well, this

1275
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:10,480
Speaker 1: past year it wasn't like that. Full credit to Will Howard,

1276
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 1: but that wasn't dynamic, high level, like first round caliber

1277
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 1: quarterback play. It was just a bunch of really really

1278
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 1: high level players on a team that came together at

1279
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 1: the right time. And then who's he going because he's

1280
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 1: going to get for Riley Leonard the National championship game.

1281
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 1: So what I'm telling you is there was a lot

1282
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 1: of randomness in the caliber of quarterback play that was

1283
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,439
Speaker 1: in the playoff. Our buddies college football nerds, I think

1284
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 1: were the ones I saw make this point, and that

1285
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 1: was it's kind of a typical Normally you got some

1286
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:43,240
Speaker 1: elite quarterback play somewhere in college football that ends up

1287
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:44,880
Speaker 1: rising to the top, and that's the one who either

1288
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 1: wins the title or you had to go through him

1289
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:50,480
Speaker 1: to win the title. What necessarily the way it panned

1290
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 1: out this year. So what we did not see is

1291
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 1: we did not see a quarterback with a truly elite

1292
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:02,800
Speaker 1: skill set get hot in this postseason. What if Leonora

1293
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:05,320
Speaker 1: Sellers got in and he did that is my question,

1294
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:08,000
Speaker 1: and it's literally a question because we don't know. It

1295
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:09,960
Speaker 1: would of course be depending on who else is in.

1296
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 1: How does South Carolina play around him? But for all

1297
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:18,479
Speaker 1: we know this upcoming fall, South Carolina goes ten and two,

1298
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:21,920
Speaker 1: they get in as the nine seed, and Lenora Sellers

1299
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:25,680
Speaker 1: just goes off. If he does that, for all I know,

1300
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:28,600
Speaker 1: they could win a national championship. It'd be crazy to

1301
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 1: see South Carolina win a championship in football, but wouldn't

1302
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 1: be out of this world crazy. It would just be

1303
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 1: like a couple of layers up into the atmosphere crazy,

1304
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:40,080
Speaker 1: not all the way, just a couple levels up. But

1305
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 1: making the playoff, yeah, yeah, you're gonna get a yes

1306
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:44,960
Speaker 1: from me on a bunch of teams when it comes

1307
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:47,800
Speaker 1: to could they make the playoff? Yeah, a lot of

1308
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:51,599
Speaker 1: them could make the playoff. Because even though last year,

1309
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:53,920
Speaker 1: I don't think we didn't have a three loss team,

1310
01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:56,800
Speaker 1: right Jesse, we always had two lost teams. We'll have

1311
01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:59,559
Speaker 1: a three loss team. So what was that Jesse. Oh,

1312
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:03,040
Speaker 1: that's right, but due to winning the ACC Okay, So

1313
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 1: I'm a believer. As we get further and further into

1314
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 1: thinning these rosters out get more total randomness and volatility

1315
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:15,920
Speaker 1: in the equation, You're gonna have some teams that lose

1316
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 1: a quarter of their games getting the playoff. I don't

1317
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:19,559
Speaker 1: have to like it. That's the way it is. And

1318
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 1: if they expand to fourteen, then you'll have even more. So, Yeah,

1319
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:25,840
Speaker 1: South Carolina and a bunch of other teams could make

1320
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So can North Carolina. So can NC State.

1321
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:32,240
Speaker 1: So could everyone in that entire area there? Could they

1322
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 1: win a title? Now that that conversation, I actually think

1323
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 1: is every bit as thin as it's always been. There

1324
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:41,640
Speaker 1: are a few teams that can win a championship, the

1325
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 1: rest of them. You know what, I'm not going down

1326
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:48,120
Speaker 1: this road tonight. You know my thoughts on this. Folks claim, well,

1327
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 1: if you get in the playoff, you've got a shot

1328
01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 1: at the national championship. No you don't. SMU had no

1329
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 1: shot at the championship this year. They had a shot

1330
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:56,559
Speaker 1: the playoff and that was as far as they were going.

1331
01:09:57,640 --> 01:09:59,599
Speaker 1: We can argue the merits of that or not. That's

1332
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:02,160
Speaker 1: for another show. But yeah, South Carolina can make the playoff.

1333
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:04,599
Speaker 1: They got the fourteenth best odds to win the whole

1334
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 1: thing this upcoming year, fourteenth, and that's partly due to

1335
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:10,160
Speaker 1: being in the conference there. And if they took that

1336
01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 1: team as is and parked them in the ACC, they

1337
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 1: would have top eight or top nine odds to win

1338
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 1: the whole thing this year. I think so. Yeah, I

1339
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:22,679
Speaker 1: guess a yes and a no on that split question.

1340
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 1: Appreciate you guys so much. We will be back Thursday.
