23
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: we get to get fun. So I do this for

24
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: a living. I can't even begin to complain to.

25
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: Me well, look, today we are going to pick up

26
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: where we left off. Yeah, on the show we did

27
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: earlier in this week, you had five questions for me

28
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: and then a couple to try and make me uncomfortable.

29
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: Yes, as you often do.

30
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: I have five questions for you and then some that

31
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: probably won't make you nearly as uncomfortable, but are intended

32
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: to prod a little bit deeper.

33
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: You you told me no pizza and no relationship questions,

34
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: and that really kind of hurt that, really like you

35
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: didn't want to steer into what I consider to be

36
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: my wheelhouse as a non pizza rea owner and as

37
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: a non licensed relationship expert. But that's okay.

38

00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,679

Speaker 1: If not four k ty, I'm willing to go four kay.

66
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,360

67
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 2: but I'm willing to try.

68
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: Well, we can record it at it.

69
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: I'm good with that last banally solid giveaway dot Com.

00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: of our shows driven by our good friends over at Geico. Yes,

76
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: we appreciate their support. Dan, all right, with all that

77
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: out of the way, do you just want me to

78
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: dive into my questions?

79
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. Is there any news you want to discuss?

80
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: Adidas is apparently opening up the nil coffers. Did you

81
00:03:58,720 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: see that?

82
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: I saw the headline? What does that mean for us

83
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: as college football fans?

84
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: That means Adidas schools will have opportunities with their athletes

85
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: across various sports to become essentially Adidas influencers. And I'm

86
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: sure the bigger athletes with the bigger social followings, with

87
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: the bigger public awareness Q ratings will be front and center.

88
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, Adidas huge company and going to proverbial bat

89
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: for Adidas schools, So that was a reality. I think

90
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: we're all prepared for. I know Nike has already jumped

91
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: into things, especially with Oregon and NIL and set up

92
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: I think it's called Division Street, which provides opportunity NIL opportunities,

93
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: so sort of part for the course. I think we're

94
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: going to see more companies jumping through it. I saw,

95
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: you know, the Saint Peter's some guard for Saint Peter's,

96
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: I think has a Buffalo Wild Wings deal after they

97
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: upset Kentucky, which is really like to me, the spirit

98
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: of things with NIL, where you know, all athletes that

99
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: you know have a certain degree of visibility should be

100
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: able to capitalize on that, but especially ones that sort

101
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: of become overnight names, that are able to capitalize on

102
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: moments on becoming sensations. And so yeah, it seems seems

103
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: like a big win. And I'm sure we're going to

104
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: get into it with some of your questions, but yeah,

105
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: Adidas officially jumping into the fold.

106
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: I saw that, Nico. I'm not even gonna try the

107
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: last name.

108
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: Yam a Lava, Yama Lava something like that.

109
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like I am a Leavin And indeed

110
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: he did spurning the spurning some other programs that were

111
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 2: associated with his recruitment and decides to go to Tennessee. Now,

112
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 2: there was some scuttle butt about the trust whatever we're

113
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 2: calling that, the trust, the collective, Yeah, that the collective,

114
00:05:54,120 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 2: the eight million dollar potential sure for Nico, an unnamed Nico,

115
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: I guess still unnamed Nico, but we all know it's him.

116
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: Regardless of all, that a pretty big yet for Josh Hypel.

117
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: Huge, humongous for Tennessee. And I assume, you know, the

118
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: hope is to build around him with offensive linemen and

119
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: receivers who are seeing the explosivity of Josh Hypel's system,

120
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,119
Speaker 1: you know, sending receivers deep, really going for playing with pace.

121
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: It's an exciting brand of football, for sure. And that

122
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: was just year one last year with a with a

123
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: transfer quarterback and Hendon Hooker. So yeah, it's obvious that

124
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: there is an interesting ceiling for Tennessee. The nil stuff.

125
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: I'm not going to pretend like I understand the intricacies

126
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: of the deal he signed. I'm sure that eight million

127
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: figure is a best case scenario. Yeah, right, But I

128
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: don't know if that's a market setting figure. I don't

129
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: know how that figures to affect a big defensive tackle

130
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: or a big corner or a big receiver or other

131
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: SEC schools, SEC schools. It's going to be all over

132
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: the place, but that it is an interesting parameter to

133
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: the market for a five star quarterback, of which there

134
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: are a couple of other big ones. Malachi Nelson's committed

135
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: to USC and Arch Manning is the other big fish

136
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: and he remains uncommitted, And I think about Georgia, Alabama,

137
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: Texas appear to be the big players as of the

138
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: time of recording in his recruitment. I won't pretend like

139
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: I am fully up to date on the class of

140
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, but in terms of where the market is,

141
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: it's fascinating. It'll correct itself. Maybe it's low. Who knows,

142
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: Maybe Nico will be a Heisman caliber quarterback and it'll

143
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: prove he'll prove to be more of a fifteen million

144
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: dollar type quarterback with how much he brings in and

145
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: how much better recruiting classes are, with how much he

146
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: gets Tennessee boosters excited about donating to the school and

147
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: more enrollment into the school. There's all sorts of, you know,

148
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: different tentacles to a successful football team within a university.

149
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: So hoping for the best for him. Disappointed as an

150
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: Oregon fan and maybe we'll get into Oregon a little

151
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: bit later on. But appointed as an organ fan. And

152
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: I can tell you this as a Duck fan, I

153
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: could very easily say, psh, what does college football come to?

154
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: Oregon lost out on a West Coast quarterback because of

155
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: booster money. But if Oregon had secured him, my reaction

156
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: would have been like, psh, it's college football in twenty

157
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: twenty two.

158
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: Get with the program, everybody program? Yeah yeah, so.

159
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: No, I I am nothing if not a fan of

160
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: high level college football. Hopefully that comes across and a

161
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: strong Tennessee would be a fun thing to watch given

162
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: the style that they're going to be playing with.

163
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 2: Two other items very quickly that I think warrant mentioning.

164
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 2: I don't think we've discussed either. Yeah, Ulysses Bentley.

165
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, where did he end up? What?

166
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: Ole Miss?

167
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: Yeah?

168
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: He's going Ole Miss. So, in case you haven't been

169
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 2: paying attention, Lane Kiffin has put together a nice little

170
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: roster of transfers. Yeah, portal king, he's been the portal king.

171
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: First it was Jackson Dart and Zach Evans. Now adding

172
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: Ulysses Bentley the fourth to the equation, Yeah, is pretty

173
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 2: damn interesting. Certainly they've got options in the backfield now,

174
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: and yeah, just infinitely curious to see how Lane uses

175
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: both those guys. It'd be very interesting.

176
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the big story with Old Miss last year

177
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: was the the direction of the defense is heading in

178
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: because for all the points Ole Miss can and will

179
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: certainly always score, given the talent on offense and on

180
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: the offensive coaching staff, they don't want to be playing

181
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: that Arkansas game every week. They don't want to be

182
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: playing fifty three to fifty two every week. And so

183
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: it's terrific that these guys are coming in because there's

184
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: every reason to given how you'll be featured in that

185
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: offense as a running back, as a receiver, quarterback, whatever.

186
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's the curiosity about the defense. They

187
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: lose DJ Dirkin, right, he goes over to Texas A

188
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: and M. So no, it'll it'll be fascinating because Lane

189
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: Kiffin is somebody who will stay current with how to

190
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: acquire players, how to build rosters. He is not going

191
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: to follow the Dabbo model of this is the way

192
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: I do things and this is how I'm going to

193
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: do things moving forward, even though Dabbo has now talked

194
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: about more flexibility in terms of roster construction.

195
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 2: And last, but certainly not least, Emery Jones go into

196
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 2: the portal, saw that. Yeah, it originally looked as if

197
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 2: he were going to stay. Billy Napier encouraged him to stay,

198
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: but ultimately Emory Jones decides he wants to go quote

199
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 2: to a stable place that will welcome me, is excited

200
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: to have me there and the right situation and fit.

201
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 2: He told that to ESPN and a phone interview this

202
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: past weekend. Speculation has been that ASU could be a

203
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 2: landing spot for him, if only because there was a

204
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: sudden following of Emory Jones on social media by some

205
00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 2: at ASU. There were some other schools that also followed, dude.

206
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: I think Rice and Arkansas State North Texas smaller programs

207
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: by comparison to ASU. But Emory Jones is a kid

208
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: who's played for Florida. I don't know if he's quite

209
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: lived up to the hype that he brought with them

210
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 2: when was originally flipped by Dan Mullen. Ye'll come down

211
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: to Gainesville. But nonetheless still a name out there, you'd

212
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 2: have to think, if you're ASU, it's appealing, if only

213
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 2: because they're so damn finnick quarterback, You'll take whatever you

214
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: can get.

215
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: M h. Yeah, And of course BILLI and Napier had

216
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: his own history at ASU, one of the places that

217
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: helped to jump start his career, so interesting connection there.

218
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: Also saw JT. Daniels still out there. I think both

219
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: Emery Jones and JT. Daniels were in a similar situation

220
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: where they wanted to graduate first. They just they had

221
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: a limited number of credits left and so they wanted

222
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: to finish out the winter semester. So JT. Daniels down

223
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: to at the least time of recording, West Virginia, Oregon

224
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: State and MISSOI I don't know if you have that

225
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: in front of you, all interesting fits. Of course, Johnathan

226
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: Smith has done a very good job with quarterbacks. West

227
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: Virginia certainly certainly in need of better quarterback play. I

228
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: know they've got a freshman they're pretty high on, but

229
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: in terms of experience and upside, JT. Daniels certainly brings that.

230
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: Miszoo obviously losing Connor bayslack to I believe Indiana God,

231
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: you gotta keep track of a lot in twenty twenty two.

232
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: But they themselves have intriguing, young, unproven quarterbacks in the future,

233
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: so a year of JT. Daniels postgraduate might not be

234
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: the worst thing for Miszoo, especially with how they've been

235
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: building things out on offense. They just landed what the

236
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: number one or two receiver in the country and Luther

237
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: Burden in this last class, so two pretty big names

238
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: out there looking to certainly improve what a quarterback room

239
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: looks like at a number of places.

240
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 2: Alrighty, Dan, shall we dive into questions?

241
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: I'm ready, let's do it.

242
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 2: Let's dive in. I dusted off that sound. I finally

243
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 2: got my sounds ready to go here. I am excited.

244
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 2: These are thank you. These are five questions that I've

245
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 2: had on my mind that I've been wanting to ask you.

246
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 2: I jotted them down. Yeah, but I haven't been able to.

247
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 2: There's been a lot to talk about it as a

248
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 2: lot going on. Sure, so we're gonna take this week.

249
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 2: It's for us. It's our time, Dan, question number one

250
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 2: College football in the Year of Our Lord twenty twenty two. Yeah,

251
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 2: would you agree that it feels a little bit different

252
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 2: than it has in the past.

253
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: Uh, it feels uniquely different. Sure, I was.

254
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 2: Gonna say, just agree with me. I'm going somewhere with this.

255
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm with you. Yes, it feels different.

256
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 2: We have nil we have we just read off news

257
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: about the transfer portal.

258
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: It's still going.

259
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 2: We have coaching changes. Conference realignment felt like an eternity

260
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: ago Texas and Oklahoma and then the Big Twelve. It's

261
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 2: like a whole thing. It's going on out there. And

262
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: you know what that means. You've been around the media

263
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 2: game for quite some time. That means hot takes. Yeah,

264
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 2: I means hot takes oftentimes very bad opinions out there

265
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: floating around the internet.

266
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. And by the way, one thing you forgot is

267
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: just the availability of games. That games are so much

268
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: more available in a more complicated way, sometimes with streaming,

269
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: oh ye, with announcers bouncing all over now too, and

270
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: so there's a lack of familiarity and yeah, and that's

271
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: affecting things in terms of realignment and TV deals and yeah,

272
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: it's all over the place that there is a certain

273
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: amount of commercialization and millions upon millions, if not gotting

274
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: into the billions of dollars in the sport that you

275
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: know it. It brings about opinions.

276
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 2: Let's say I want to know which popular opinion? Yeah,

277
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: which hot take that you Dan Rubinstein mostly believes. Is

278
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 2: BS something that you're tired of hearing? It seems to

279
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 2: have gone somewhat mainstream. Right, you're not buying it, you're

280
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 2: not into it, And you can't answer the playoff. You

281
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 2: can't answer the playoff because everybody knows where you stand

282
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: on that.

283
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's fine. What do you think? So you're

284
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: asking me? Given the state of things, people's hot takes

285
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: are all over the place with college football? Which hot take?

286
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: And I'm a big proponent of naming names. I don't

287
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: know if you have any names that you want to

288
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: throw out who takes? No, I don't necessarily have. I

289
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of smart people who are Again,

290
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: I don't have the names I wish I did. I'm

291
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: a fan of naming names. But there appears to be

292
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: a sentiment. There appears to be a sentiment of college

293
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: football is not ruined. Like I'm gonna zag with this, right,

294
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: there's like a fan sentiment that all of this nil

295
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: and transfer portal is ruining college football. And then there's

296
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: pushback from writers that it's essentially this. Everybody always cries wolf,

297
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: everybody always says something's going to ruin college football. But

298
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: college football has always been changing. College football always has

299
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: new quirks and wrinkles and movement across the sport, and

300
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: you're still going to watch. My pushback is the fear

301
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: of fans is warranted. So this is sort of a

302
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: backlash to the backlash. I don't even know what I'm

303
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: doing right here. I am saying I think we should

304
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: be taking not the people who are crying wolf, not

305
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: the people who are saying the sport is being ruined.

306
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is there are people for which nil

307
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: for which the over commercialization, for which the transfer portal,

308
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: with players moving all over the place, coaches moving all

309
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: over the place, that this is a tipping point for

310
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: some people. I still think they're going to watch people

311
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: who are turned off by the realities of college football.

312
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: I think there are going to be people, a not

313
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: insignificant percentage of people. Also, you could add in like

314
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: the dominance by a very small select group within the

315
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: sport that brings about hot takes, not even necessarily with

316
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: the playoff, just be like college football sort of the

317
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: same thing every year, right, it's Alabama against too LSU

318
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: against Clemson against Ohio State, whatever. So people push back

319
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: with that. I think fans who are raising these concerns

320
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: about the changes being too dramatic to the sport, I

321
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: think there's something to it. I don't think college football

322
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: is bulletproof. I think football as a sport is in

323
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: a pretty good place in terms of fan interest, but

324
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: that's mostly because of the NFL. I don't care about

325
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: TV ratings. I don't really care about attendance. There's all

326
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: sorts of metrics that you can use. I'm saying it

327
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: would be foolish to ignore people raising these concerns right now,

328
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of writers are ignoring these concerns.

329
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: I think a lot of writers are saying players have

330
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: played for free and haven't been able to monetize and

331
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: haven't been able to do this, or that players haven't

332
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 1: had the freedom of movement, and whether right or wrong,

333
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: I think people that are raising these concerns, fans of

334
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: whatever team, fans of big teams, small teams, whatever, I

335
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 1: think they should be listened to. I think there is

336
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: something about the sport and We've talked about this before,

337
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: and I know I keep cutting you off as you

338
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: begin to talk. No, it's fine. There's something about the

339
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: sport that has become regularly anti fan, which I think

340
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 1: is a problem. And I think the thing that we've

341
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: talked about before is college football in two thousand and

342
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: five was pretty difficult to follow. In twenty twenty two,

343
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: you have to be dedicated to following the sport and

344
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: the intricacies of movement, both of teams, coaches, players, what

345
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: nil deals mean or don't mean, and all of the

346
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 1: legislation around the sport. You need to stay current with

347
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: it or you will be left behind. And that's kind

348
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: of an anti mainstream fan sentiment, which I don't think

349
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: is the healthiest thing for the sport. I don't know

350
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: what it means. I just don't think college football is

351
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: especially pro fan.

352
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,640

355
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 2: I also don't think it's a binary choice.

356
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: No, it's not.

357
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 2: And I feel like, oftentimes I'll stick with you on

358
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: this point, oftentimes raising concerns unintentionally puts you on the

359
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,719
Speaker 2: side of being anti something. Sure, right, fans have concerns

360
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 2: about Nil. Maybe you're an Akron fan.

361
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: I don't know.

362
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 2: We just mentioned a few minutes ago. Iye, you're an

363
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 2: Akron fan, and maybe NIL. All this stuff coming out

364
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 2: the transfer portal that scares the crap out of you,

365
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 2: because not only can some of those players potentially be

366
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 2: siphoned away from your program b Lord by other programs

367
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 2: in the area that might have some moerey to throw,

368
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 2: but also if you do get to the stage where you,

369
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: let's say, develop a legitimate pro prospect at defensive end

370
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 2: or running back or wide receiver or quarterback, now suddenly

371
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 2: there's an immediate market elsewhere at a bigger place for

372
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 2: their services. Understand that fans perspective, though, I think those

373
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,479
Speaker 2: concerns does not necessarily mean the fan is anti change.

374
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 2: It just means that they're got real concerns, and.

375
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: I hear it.

376
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I don't like labeling folks as being anti

377
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 2: when they bring up valid.

378
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: Points That said.

379
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess the counter argument would be, there's so

380
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 2: much money in this damn thing, we don't really care

381
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 2: what you think it's going to change whether you like

382
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 2: it or not. And so that may also emphasize the

383
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 2: second part of your point about college football becoming a

384
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 2: little bit more anti fan.

385
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, I just and look, there is no college football.

386
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: There is no entity making decisions. That's not the NC DOUBLEA,

387
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 1: it's not the College Football Playoff. It's just the idea

388
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 1: of the sport as a whole has gotten further and

389
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: further away from making it easy to consume. And so

390

Speaker 1: that's again Soliverble dot com. Please do subscribe and follow

Speaker 1: and do whatever you need to do on your subscribe

392
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: your subscription service. But I think there is that sentiment

393
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: among writers, whether they work for ESPN or the athletic

394
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: or sports illustrator whatever, that like, players finally have a voice,

395
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: and they can finally have the ability to make money,

396
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: and they finally have an ability to move around. I

397
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: don't disagree with the upside of any of that. But again,

398
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: it's not amazing for the sport as a whole to

399
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: have year by year dramatic movement across the sport because

400
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 1: college football is the size of a professional sport but

401
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: does not have similar contracts and representation as the NFL,

402
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: as the NBA, as the NHL as Major League Baseball,

403
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 1: and so there is a structure, unfair as it may

404
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: be to a lot of those sports, there is an

405
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 1: understood structure to how and when players and not coaches,

406
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: but players can move around. And so this is all

407
00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: so very new that a lot of writers. Again, whether

408
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: it's Andy Stables, Nicole Hourback or Ari Wassmer, any of

409
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: these people, I don't know, but there is that sentiment

410
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: that says, relax, you're still gonna watch football. And I

411
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: don't know if that's true. I don't know if that's

412
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: overwhelmingly true, because people are kind of sick of trying

413
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: and sick of being told the college football playoff or

414
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: recruiting is the most important thing, and that there nine

415
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: to three season of the seven and five season. They

416
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: should just be happy with that and then see their

417
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: star linebacker transfer to a bigger school and see their

418
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: star quarterback transfer. Look, both of our schools have been

419
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: the beneficiaries. You're both of our quarterbacks. Our team's quarterbacks

420
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: were transfers from other schools. Oregon bigger than Boston College.

421
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: Of course, the biggest Oregon transfer quarterback in recent in

422
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: recent history came from Eastern Washington. But it's a reality

423
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 1: that is not super appealing to the masses to me

424
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: from what I can tell, and so don't know how

425
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: you fix it. But that's the take of everything will

426
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: be fine, You'll still watch football.

427
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 2: It's the meme of the dog in the burning house.

428
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 2: Maybe not that drastic, but right, I think that's what

429
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 2: you're pointing out.

430
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's more important to listen to fans,

431
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: reasonable smart fans, raising these concerns than where we collectively

432
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 1: as people who cover the sport do.

433
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 2: I will tell you, you know, just through the off

434
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 2: season and through some of the stuff that I've been

435
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 2: reading to keep myself current on college football, the one

436
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 2: point that I think is emphasized and re emphasized, and

437
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,479
Speaker 2: if ever there were any doubt, you shouldn't because college

438
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 2: football is just built a little bit differently. Right, The

439
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 2: power of the rivalry in college football. Yeah, the power

440
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,479
Speaker 2: of the rivalry in college football is still the engine

441
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 2: that makes this whole thing go. Sure, and you know,

442
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 2: whether it's a Texas and Texas, A and m thing

443
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,239
Speaker 2: or Pitt and Penn State, or you know, I don't know.

444
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 2: There are plenty of rivalries that have fallen by the

445
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 2: wayside over the years. You know, I hope whatever we

446
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 2: do that that is committed to memory because we didn't

447
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 2: lose that. We just can't lose that aspect of college football.

448
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 2: It really is what makes it unique and special.

449
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 1: It's even the second tier rivalries too, right, It's it's

450
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: there's a shared history between Mississippi State and Florida, between

451
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: Oregon and Washington State, between Michigan State Penn State, which

452
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: is let's what the Langrand Trophy, that is a true

453
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: rivalry game sort of there is. There's that even Notre

454
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: Dame Stanford when Stanford's good, there's that shared history of like,

455
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: oh man, remember that game three years ago that was wild.

456
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,959
Speaker 1: I remember Christian McCaffrey went wild running. Like there is

457
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: something about even those second tier rivalries that we lose it.

458
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 2: I'm with you one hundred percent on that, and you know,

459
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 2: on prope playoff, but I will say you know that

460
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 2: that is the guts of college football. That is what

461
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 2: makes this special. Any fan who tells you differently doesn't

462
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 2: know what they're talking about. The rivalries are ultimately what

463
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 2: power this thing. So all right, yeah, let's get to

464
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 2: question numeroal dos.

465
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: Let's do it.

466
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 2: You got into this business on your own free will, Dan,

467
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 2: That's true. Happily you sent out tapes, you hustled. You

468
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 2: eventually became the SI tour guy m SI being Sports Illustrated.

469
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: Two thousand and seven, eight nine. And I did it

470
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: independently in two thousand and six.

471
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I went around to a bunch of different college

472
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 2: football stadiums.

473
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: Wasn't just college.

474
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 2: Football, you did other events too, But yep, you know,

475
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 2: college football is really where it started for you, and

476
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: you had the privilege of going to a bunch of

477
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 2: the pre eminent college football cathedrals, let's say true around

478
00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 2: our great nation. So much talk on this show many

479
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 2: other shows, is what's the best stadium you've ever been to?

480
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 2: What's the coolest game day environment? Oh, it's the grove,

481
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 2: it's the it's state college. What's the worst game day experience?

482
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,479
Speaker 1: Just bathing in the jacuzzi of negativity here, Tyhu, you

483
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: just listen.

484
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 2: You've had a two month sinus infection at this point.

485
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: That's true.

486
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 2: If we went a little darker, we're trying to vibe

487
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 2: with you.

488
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: Just work with me. Okay, So I'll say this. When

489
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: you say stadium, you want to say in game, like

490
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: within the stadium or the overall experience, because the SI

491
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: Tour Guide show was built around tailgating and culture around

492
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 1: game day, not just how it is inside of a stadium.

493
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 2: You can you can answer this however you want, Okay,

494
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 2: however you want, I'll take either or both, Okay.

495
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: So there are a number of factors here, right, There's

496
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: like how fun was it to tailgate? How fun was

497
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: it to spend time in this college town, which I

498
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 1: didn't get to do all the time, because there are

499
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 1: certain like even South Bend, and like flew because I

500
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: was living in La flew into Chicago, drove to South

501
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: Bend for the game, drove back to Chicago, And so

502
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: I didn't stay overnight in South Bend, and I didn't

503
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: stay overnight in a lot of places just because of flying.

504
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: In travel convenience, the most inconvenient travel to get to

505
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: a game was is clear to me, and that's Penn State.

506
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: Penn State was the absolute worst place to get to

507
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: from Los Angeles because basically I did want to take

508
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 1: connecting flights, so I had to fly to Pittsburgh or Philly.

509
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: Flew to Pittsburgh and drove the most miserable stretch of

510
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 1: a state I've ever driven. And this is nothing to

511
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: do with the people of Western PA or Central Pa

512
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: or what the cities, the towns, whatever. It's just dark

513
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: and miserable and not wide lan like. It's just a

514
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 1: miserable travel experience to drive to and from I guess

515
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 1: from Pittsburgh to State College and back. That was awful.

516
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: Beaver Stadium was quite fun. There was a wide variety

517
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: of persons outside, like I don't know if you tailgate

518
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: on the cow pastures. I don't know what that situation

519
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: is in State College, but State College probably had or

520
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: that specific tailgate probably had the widest variance in these

521
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: people are awesome and these people are terrible and I

522
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: want to get away from them. And the only other

523
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 1: place that I had that sort of dramatic variance in

524
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: fans whor I was like, these people are great, I'm

525
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: so glad I came across them tailgating, and I need

526
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: to get away from these humans as quickly as humanly possible.

527
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: Was Tennessee. Really Now, I went to a Tennessee Florida game,

528
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: and I got to go to Niland and I was

529
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,239
Speaker 1: on the field and I got to see I think

530
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: it was a checkerboard game of some kind. It was incredible.

531
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: The experience inside Beaver Stadium at Penn State and the

532
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: experience inside Neeland were both terrific. But those are the

533
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: places with the widest variants of fans where I'm like,

534
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: these people are horrific and I want to get away.

535
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: I assume you can empathize a little bit with that.

536
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: Penn State's an enormous school, so of course you're going

537
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: to get people that rub you that way, right.

538
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 2: Well, it's sort of a perfect cross section between Philly

539
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 2: fans and Pittsburgh fans. There's a pretty heavy New York influences.

540
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: Well I would say New York, New Jersey probably, yeah.

541
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, it's it's understandable, to say the least.

542
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: So that's more travel and fans I was. There are

543
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,239
Speaker 1: places that I was definitely surprised by how much I

544
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: liked the stadium experience, Like I went into it probably

545
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: too negatively. Like I had a really good time at

546
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: Iowa and Iowa City. The tailgate wasn't anything special. I'll

547
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: tell you the most the two most disappointing places, and

548
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: it's the context is important here. The two most disappointing

549
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: places were probably Clemson in West Virginia. I had a

550
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: great time in the tailgates at Clemson in West Virginia,

551
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: but the games themselves, I had heard so much about

552
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: Death Valley and they're running, you know, the Robin Howard's

553
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: rock and running down the hill and all that stuff. Clemson,

554
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: I want to say two thousand and eight, and this

555
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: may have just been the tail end of Tommy Bowden

556
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: or he was already fired and Dabble was the interim.

557
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,719
Speaker 1: They played Maryland, maybe Danny O'Brien Maryland in two thousand

558
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: and eight, and it was just not a great game.

559
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: It was an early kickoff and it was just the

560
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: energy was not all that great. And Clemson's not an

561
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,959
Speaker 1: especially easy place to get to from LA. But that's

562
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: a me thing that doesn't matter for you know, Clemson

563
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: as a whole. But this was Clemson before it was Clemson.

564
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: I didn't have an amazing time. I really liked hanging

565
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: out in the town of Clemson in the tailgate and

566
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: West Virginia was another early kick had a great time

567
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: with Mountaineer fans. Drank like moonshine at nine forty four

568
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: am or something like that it was a big East

569
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: game against Rutgers. And this is probably eight, so I

570
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: think Pat White was still there. Pat McAfee was still there.

571
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: And it was like a very ho hum like twenty

572
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: four seventeen, twenty seven to seventeen game, and it was early.

573
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: The crowd wasn't especially into it. I almost fell asleep

574
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:03,239
Speaker 1: in the press box again a me thing, but I

575
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: came away. Look, if I had gone to that, the

576
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: the Honey Badger LSU West Virginia game that was like

577
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: a yellow out, if you remember, I would have had

578
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: a stellar time at West Virginia. This was just the

579
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: choice of game I went to, though, so this is

580
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: more on me than it is on West Virginia, more

581
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: on Clemson. But those were those were two memories where

582
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, early kick, not a lot of energy, not

583
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: a lot of juice. I don't know, not into it.

584
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: Every school has them, that's just those are the games

585
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: that I happened to go to. I at Penn State,

586
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: I went to a big game that was a Notre

587
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: Dame Jimmy classon game. That was what that was how

588
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: we met correct. And then the Tennessee game was a

589
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: Florida game. It was a t bow game, so that

590
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: was it was. There was a lot of energy, a

591
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: lot of juice in those stadiums, but that was that

592
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: was the fan variants. Texas A and M was actually

593
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: a little bit disappointing, but it was another one of

594
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: those matchups. But Texas A and M had Chick fil

595
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: A in the press box, so that goes a long way.

596
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: That goes a long way. But I I didn't spend

597
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: that much time in college station. I flew in and

598
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: out of Houston. Oregon State didn't do a lot for me.

599
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: It was a fun game because I got to go

600
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: see an Oregon Oregon State game Platypus Cup, win the

601
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: platte But Corvallis fine, But you know, didn't I stayed outside,

602
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: like in the Salem area, so I didn't really spend

603
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: that much time, uh in a in Corvallis. But yeah,

604
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: there are just some places out there, like you go

605
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: to the Rose Bowl. There's not much juice in the

606
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: Rose Bowl for an average UCLA game, so that, yeah,

607
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: to me, it was There were definitely places where the

608
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: games weren't that big, but you could tell this was

609
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: a fully dedicated operation by the fan base, by the

610
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: school right to blowing it out like LSU was LSU

611
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: South Carolina. It was an inconsequential game. It was rainy,

612
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: it was an incredible experience, and so there were places

613
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: like that. You know, Washington had that. Washington was very

614
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: energetic in a place that I suggest a lot of

615
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: people try and get to. If you're if you're hopping

616
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: around the country going to college football games, yeah, that's

617
00:32:58,520 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: I think the best. I went to a big o'hig

618
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: state game which was very fun at the shoe. I

619
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: think it was Ohio State Penn State. Even though was

620
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: pretty low scoring, that was great. It was just a

621
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: great time. Yeah, in the big ten, I would just

622
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: suggest that people go to Camp Randall when you ask me,

623
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to end this on a more positive note.

624
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, there are there are those sort of juiceless places.

625
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: But I'm sure it has more to do with my

626
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: selection of game than the place itself. Next question, Dan,

627
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: all right, was that an acceptable answer to you?

628
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 2: Of course? Okay, of course it's our damn show.

629
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,239
Speaker 1: Okay, do whatever we want. Your question again, I want

630
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: to make sure I hit him.

631
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 2: Oregon is seventy six in Bill Connolly's Returning Production index. Now, yeah,

632
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 2: it doesn't mean everything, but it's a guide. I think

633
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 2: it is especially important to note Oregon because not only

634
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 2: are they losing a lot offense, especially, but they also

635
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 2: lost Mary Crystobaal who goes to Miami, and they're employing

636
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 2: a first time head coach and Dan Lanning who doesn't

637
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 2: really have have a ton of familiarity with the Pacific Northwest.

638
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: West Coast pac twelve. You're correct. Yeah, he was at

639
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: ASU briefly when he was very young. That's it.

640
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you take all those factors into consideration. I

641
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 2: think you also got a factor in a schedule that

642
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 2: to me looks kind of tricky. Sure, not the least

643
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 2: of which is Labor Day weekend when they're.

644
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: Wait, does it? I feel like, well, it's not to

645
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: take a look at it.

646
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 2: If you take a look at it, it is certainly

647
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 2: not the hardest schedule that they could play. But I

648
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 2: think that first month of action will be very trying. Sure,

649
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 2: because anytime you open up with Georgia, they got a

650
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 2: BYU team that brings a lot back by you should

651
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 2: be pretty good. Again. Yeah, Eastern Washington, They've got a

652
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 2: game later in the year, I believe against Utah, that's

653
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,959
Speaker 2: at home. But it's like there are you could find

654
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 2: land mines in that schedule. So I have to ask

655
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 2: the question here in your mind. I don't know how

656
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 2: closely you've paid attention to it. It is late March.

657
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,720
Speaker 2: Based on what you know now, what is the range

658
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 2: of possible outcomes for this Oregon team going into next season?

659
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 2: And furthermore, oh, which of those outcomes or which possible

660
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 2: thing that could happen would actually leave you concerned about

661
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 2: Dan Lanninger whether he can do the job at organ.

662
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: There's very little that he could or couldn't do in

663
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: year one that will have me worried unless there is

664
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: a locker room abandonment issue that he is not the

665
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: grown up in the room. And it's becoming clear right

666
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: away that to me would be the only thing in

667
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,280
Speaker 1: year one be like, oh man, he can't handle coaching

668
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: a major program as a head coach. The variety of

669
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 1: outcomes hinges on what I assume to be Bo Nicks

670
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: and whatever the ratio of good Bow to bad Bo is.

671
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what it was at Auburn. Auburn fans

672
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: can certainly weigh in that it was like a forty

673
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 1: sixty experience, a thirty to seventy experience, certainly with the

674
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 1: way he finished his career. There, you know, the Texas

675
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: A and M game. He made some plays, but they

676
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: didn't score a touchdown. I did score, they didn't get

677
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: into the end zone. So it was arguably his worst

678
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: statistical performance of his career, and it was his second

679
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: to last game, his penultimate game at Auburn. But three

680
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 1: of those four games how he finished his Auburn career

681
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: were pretty promising. The Old miss game, the Arkansas game,

682
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: and at least the first half of that Mississippi State game.

683
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: So if Oregon gets seventy thirty good bow to bad Bo,

684
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: that's an outcome in which Oregon with a very experienced

685
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 1: offensive line, promising receivers, a good but thin running back

686
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: room Byron Cardwell's a new full time guy with Travis

687
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: Steim moving to USC and CJ. Verdella entering the draft. Defensively,

688
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: the lines in a decent place. Linebacker has those two

689
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,760
Speaker 1: five stars. Secondaries a little bit thin, but they brought

690
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,399
Speaker 1: in at least a transfer at corner. They were hit

691
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: by the portal a little bit. They lost a key corner,

692
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 1: a rotation defensive lineman. They lost guys in the portal.

693
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: The big thing to me is going to be I

694
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 1: think the schedule is fantastic. The Georgia game, who cares whatever,

695
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: it's game one, it's on the road, it's playing in Atlanta,

696
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: but they're road games within the PAC twelve at Wazoo

697
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: new full time head coach and Jake Tickert. At Arizona,

698
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 1: which still has a long ways to go, but improving,

699
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: At Cal which has not had an offense and has

700
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: not really been anything beyond a vague Bowl threat. At Colorado,

701
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: which is trending in the wrong direction. And at Oregon State,

702
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: which is feisty but shouldn't be deep enough or talented

703
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,320
Speaker 1: enough to beat Oregon. Now they do have Utah and

704
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:37,280
Speaker 1: Washington in it looks like consecutive weeks. They have Ucla

705
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 1: after a bye week, but that's it's in Eugene. I

706
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: don't know. I think the schedule's fun.

707
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 2: It's a good home schedule. It's a good home schedule.

708
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: It's a really good road home split.

709
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 2: You know, you could definitely make the case that Utah

710
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 2: is going to be loaded again. They'll be decent. Maybe

711
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 2: Ucla gets better. I don't know. Right, I think Stanford

712
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 2: has to get better. You would think they have to

713
00:37:56,320 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 2: get better. I don't know, right. So you know, as

714
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 2: we've seen time and again with some of these PAC

715
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 2: twelve schedules, sometimes it's the games you don't know, the

716
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 2: games that don't jump out at you in March, that

717
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 2: are the ones that end up taking you down.

718
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: The problem for me with Oregon and I think there

719
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,439
Speaker 1: is a lot of upside because I still think they're

720
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: more talented than anybody on their schedule. So that's a

721
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: good place to start on their Pack twelve schedule. Excuse me,

722
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: not more talented than Georgia first time head coach, first

723
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: time full play calling, offensive coordinator, and quarterback transfer. Which

724
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: we use the word cocktail last episode about rivalry games,

725
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: and you know, the spiciest, most balanced cocktails. It doesn't

726
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: feel like an especially promising cocktail because there's so much unknown.

727
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,240
Speaker 1: What is the vision Dan Lanning has for his offense?

728
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: What is the vision Kenny Dillingham has for his offense?

729
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 1: After spending time with both cosmels On and Mike Norvell,

730
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: and I am just never a huge fan in having

731
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: to talk yourself into a QB. Now there have been

732
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: guys who have gone from fine to really good or

733
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 1: after thought to surprisingly good after two three years of

734
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: playing or being a backup and not being able to

735
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: crack a starting lineup. You look at like what Will

736
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: Levis did at Kentucky. He transfers to Kentucky they need

737
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 1: a quarterback post Terry Wilson. Expectations. The bar wasn't set

738
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 1: particularly high with Terry Wilson. I think it was Eddie

739
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: Grant was the offensive coordinator at Kentucky. They just sort

740
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: of handed the ball off a lot, and Liam Conan

741
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: will Levis fully and completely soared past all expectations. Last

742
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: year Kentucky went ten and three.

743
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 2: Will Levis said, like you could not have imagined Will Levis.

744
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 2: I think he was sixty six percent right.

745
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: And you know, Wandelle Robinson comes in like that was

746
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: a surprise that you had to talk yourself into. Will

747
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 1: Levis and Liam Cohen succeeding together and they exceeded expectations,

748
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: and that happens like I would imagine Pitt fans were

749
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: fine with Kenny Pickett heading into last year, like he's experienced,

750
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 1: He's a calming influence, he knows the system, he's comfortable

751
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: in the ACC. He's one of the best quarterbacks in

752
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: the ACC. Completely exceeds expectations last year. Right, So there

753
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: are those situations. The problem is those seem to be

754
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: exceptions to the rule when you have to talk yourself

755
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: into a quarterback of like, oh well, maybe it's a

756
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 1: fresh start. Oh well, maybe he looks like he did

757
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: at the end of his career. Oh well, maybe he

758
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: just needs the you know, the lack of pressure at

759
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: all in that voice specifically. Yeah, that's a problem to

760
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: me if you're talking yourself into a quarterback with his

761
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: known flaws and what they're up against in terms of

762
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 1: the unknown. I don't know. I think the best case

763
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: scenario for Oregon is they lose to they lose to Georgia,

764
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:44,240
Speaker 1: and they lose to Utah and they're able to sneak

765
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: out the rest of their schedule go ten and two

766
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: because bo Nicks has decent enough command and he's not

767
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: the reason they lose games, not necessarily the reason they

768
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: win games, but he does enough to so that every

769
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: Oregon fan and every college football fan watched their games

770
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: and says, prey solid ten two way one.

771
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 2: Right.

772
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: I think the PAC twelve is in a place, right now,

773
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 1: and I'm terribly concerned about the quarterback room moving forward.

774
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: The thing that would actually concern me. You asked about

775
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,919
Speaker 1: what would be concerning about Dan Lanning in year one?

776
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: What does he do at quarterback for the future? Right now,

777
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: Oregon has three former blue chip quarterbacks in that room, Bonix,

778
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: Jay Butterfield, and Ty Thompson. You would be hard pressed

779
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:32,240
Speaker 1: to find an Oregon fan confident in the position moving forward. Now,

780
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: Oregon's major target in this current recruiting cycle, as we mentioned,

781
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: is going to Tennessee. At least that's what we figure

782
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 1: is going to happen. He's going to end up at Tennessee.

783
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: There are other interesting quarterback prospects on the West Coast.

784
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't follow it particularly closely. If Dan Lanning fully

785
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: strikes out in terms of bringing in an interesting, high

786
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: ceiling type quarterback in this class and has to depend

787
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: on the portal once again, I mean, who do we

788
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: suspect is going to be out there? We could talk about,

789
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: you know, Miller Moss and Hudson Cart and all these

790
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: guys that are you know, former blue chip guys who

791
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: are sitting on the bench. But if he is not

792
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: able to secure a quarterback of the future in this class,

793
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be concerned, but I'd file it away thinking

794
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:21,879
Speaker 1: huh huh, because I know you need time to build

795
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: up those relationships as a head coach and your offensive coordinator,

796
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: and nobody knows what Oregon system is going to be,

797
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: so that's more difficult for quarterbacks to know. Like, you

798
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: have an idea of what Tommy Reese is gonna do

799
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 1: at Notre Dame with a new full time head coach,

800
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: You have an idea at Brian Kelly and like, what's

801
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: his name? Who's the offensive coordinator for LSU Denbrock, Denbrock,

802
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: I was thinking to bored, Mike Denbrock, you have an ideal,

803
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: you know what Billion Apier's probably gonna do ish at Florida.

804
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: Oregon's the mystery there, and so they have work to

805
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: do in explaining and showing future quarterbacks what Oregon's offense

806
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,280
Speaker 1: is going to be. So that would be the concern

807
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 1: to me near one that that Dan Lanning does not

808
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: lock in a promising quarterback of the future.

809
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 2: That was a very thoughtful answer, Dan, Thank you, Thank

810
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 2: you toy for sharing that with me.

811
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: Let's move on and if you fast forwarded past all

812
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,959
Speaker 1: of my Oregon gibberish. Welcome back, Welcome back.

813
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 2: Question four. Yeah, gonna begin the part of this episode

814
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 2: where we start to take you a little bit out

815
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 2: of your comfort zone. Yeah, rank your top five players

816
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 2: in the upcoming NFL draft.

817
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: To find top five like who I think should go

818
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: one through five or my five favorite players who are

819
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: mocked to be first round ish.

820
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 2: I don't think either you or I are qualified to

821
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 2: actually do the mock draft thing.

822
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: No, definitely not.

823
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 2: I'm not asking that question from that perspective. I am

824
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 2: essentially saying, yes, of the guys who are projected to

825
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:55,439
Speaker 2: go highly in next month's draft, sure, give me your

826
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 2: top five, top five guys that you saw him in college.

827
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 2: And like a lot of us are convinced every year

828
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 2: when you know, somebody drops a little to Patrick Mahomes

829
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 2: or whoever, I mean, he didn't drop very far, but

830
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers. Guys who we see in college, we know

831
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 2: they're going to be good in the pros. But you

832
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 2: know who kind of fits that bill as we go

833
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 2: into the draft.

834
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: It's pretty straightforward to me, both of the inside linebackers

835
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: who are mocked to be first round guys, and maybe

836
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: there are more than two, but Devin Lloyd and n

837
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: Kobe Dean were absolute joys to watch as they destroyed

838
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:34,280
Speaker 1: the hopes and dreams of offenses that Utah and Georgia faced.

839
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: Love Evan Neil. Love somebody that is that athletic at

840
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 1: that size. I don't know if you saw what Evan

841
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: Neil looks like with like just underwear on, just you know,

842
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:49,359
Speaker 1: his combine pant. No, I'm telling you, like physically, there

843
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 1: is something that is so terrifying about somebody who is

844
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,439
Speaker 1: I don't know what his current measurement is, like.

845
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 2: Six seven, three thirty seven. I can tell you there

846
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 2: is definitely a moment in time in the not too

847
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 2: distant past where a six to seven linebacker with his

848
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 2: shirt off kind of looks like a blob.

849
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 1: You mean you mean linemen lineman?

850
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 2: Excuse me, yeah, yeah, Evan Neil. Evan Neil looks like

851
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 2: you play in the NBA. Yes, I mean he's ridiculous.

852
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 1: Yes, there is something so impressive about just being a

853
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: big dude and opping a fat dude with carrying all

854
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 1: that weight and that's that's three thirty five or whatever

855
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 1: that he's down to from I think what he played

856
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: at which was close to like three sixty. I think

857
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 1: during the season Aaron Donald was that way too. We're like, oh,

858
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: he's three hundre pounds these two hundred ninety punds whatever

859
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: he is. He's like, he's two hundred ninety pounds of

860
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: must soul of good mass. And so guys like that

861
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 1: are so impressive to me that they're able to perform

862
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 1: athletically the way that they are and build themselves up

863
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: to that point. So Evan Neil is there, Both of

864
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 1: those linebackers are there. Drake London. I just feel so

865
00:45:55,960 --> 00:46:00,919
Speaker 1: bad for Drake London was completely and fully unstoppable, made

866
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 1: essentially what amounted to a bad decision to go to

867
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: USC because of how everything turned out at USC, and

868
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: was just not playing in consequential games for the most part.

869
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: And so I just am hopeful for him that he's

870
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: healthy and ends up somewhere where he can immediately impact

871
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 1: winning because I just feel bad because he was unstoppable.

872
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: Everybody knew the ball was going to him, didn't matter.

873
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 1: Drake London and probably Kaveon Thibodeau just because I'm a

874
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: dumb Oregon homer. Caveon Thibodeau was beat up for a

875
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 1: good chunk of last year, didn't even play in that

876
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 1: Ohio State win. So I'm hopeful for him and for Oregon,

877
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,760
Speaker 1: and that's something that you know, Oregon can recruit around,

878
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: not just his success in college, but his success and

879
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 1: getting drafted highly and going to the pros. Because Oregon

880
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: has had, like, very quietly, a good amount of success

881
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: at defensive line in the draft recently with Eric Armstead

882
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 1: and DeForest Buckner. So I'm hopeful that that Kveon Thibodeau

883
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: keeps that going. There's other guys I like, I don't.

884
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 1: I'm not a huge fan of drafting running backs and

885
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: receivers generally speaking, in the first round. I think the

886
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: focus should be on lineman quarterback. I see a lot

887
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 1: of people seem to love, you know, Mina Kimes loves

888
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: Malik Willis and hopes that he ends up with the Seahawks.

889
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: I hope it works out for him too. Uh. He

890
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: just seems like a very fun player and hopefully has

891
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: a good NFL career. I hope it. You know, Kenny

892
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: Pickett and his tiny hands, I hope that works out

893
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 1: for him.

894
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 2: I don't really like it. I mean, I like, but yeah,

895
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 2: in terms of draft ability. For whatever it's worth coming

896
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 2: from me, I don't really like any of the quarterbacks

897
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:31,919
Speaker 2: this year.

898
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,720
Speaker 1: I just I'm a corral Yeah, Sam Howell.

899
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 2: No, I'm good. I'm good. If my team needs a quarterback,

900
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 2: I say, take something else. My team does need a

901
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 2: quarterback desperately, We're stuck with Daniel Jones. I think for it.

902
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 1: So you just want Jimmy Garoppolo. Is that what you're

903
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 1: looking for?

904
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 2: No, just take lineman. It's a deep lineman draft. There

905
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:51,760
Speaker 2: are a lot of good linemen.

906
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,879
Speaker 1: Take lineman the guy from Mississippi State, NC State.

907
00:47:54,960 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 2: Take defenders like build from the lines out and actually

908
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 2: build the team right. But don't I don't know, I don't.

909
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 2: I don't want any of these quarterbacks.

910
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 1: Who else you're gonna miss other than Kyle Hamilton who's

911
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: projected to be.

912
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 2: Like Kyle Hamilton? Is my answer? He might be my

913
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 2: one through three. I love me some Kyle Hamilton. Some

914
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 2: other names that I think jump out to me. Yes,

915
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 2: and kind of going through the sex well, I mean

916
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 2: you mentioned Devin Lloyd, n Kobe Dean, yep, I you

917
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 2: know he kind of took those from me. I would

918
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 2: also throw out as just like another name that I

919
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 2: feel badly for, David o'jabo hurt his leg.

920
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 1: I saw that in Michigan opposite, which sucks. You know

921
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 1: that that sucks so bad, like it's Achilles something. Yeah,

922
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,240
Speaker 1: super serious, right, super serious.

923
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 2: Although they're saying a six month recovery, which apparently they

924
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,840
Speaker 2: can do that now in six months. But David o'jabo,

925
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 2: I think, is a name that you know, I want

926
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 2: to succeed. Aiden Hutchinson. I don't know if you mentioned him,

927
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 2: but Aiden Hutchinson, with the impact that he had, maybe

928
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 2: not so much in the playoffs, but certainly throughout the

929
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 2: course of the season and his college career at Michigan,

930
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,359
Speaker 2: is another guy that's really easy to root for, as

931
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 2: is George carl Loftis. George carloftis like sort of came

932
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 2: out of nowhere in a sense. It was very dominant.

933
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,879
Speaker 1: I think he was hurt his sophomore year, I want

934
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 1: to say, and bounce back in a big way. Yeah,

935
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 1: he bounced back to a big way, damn.

936
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 2: But it's not like there was a ton of preseason steam.

937
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 2: George carl loftis the way there was on Kaevon Thibodeau, right,

938
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 2: right totally. The season that he had definitely opened some eyes.

939
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'd probably throw those three guys out there. Hutchinson,

940
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 2: carloftis so jabo in addition to Hamilton, and if I'm

941
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 2: going to throw one other guy on there, I'll go

942
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:41,280
Speaker 2: to corner.

943
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was gonna be my bonus. Jonas continue.

944
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 2: I know everybody's in on Sauce Gardner, and I get

945
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:53,360
Speaker 2: that he's got great size, He's super as a cover corner.

946
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: Remember when Notre Dame decided to throw it at him.

947
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I do, I do. I was gonna say

948
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 2: extingly though, And he's a guy who also was battling injury.

949
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 2: He's a guy who I remember when he came out

950
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 2: of high school, many folks in the recruiting world were saying,

951
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 2: much like they did with Adrian Peterson, if you want

952
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 2: to go pro now, somebody would take him and he

953
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 2: could probably play at that level. So, you know, been

954
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 2: a bit of a mixed bag at LSU. No one

955
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 2: doubts the talent, and I'm curious to see what he

956
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 2: can do at the next level, and I'm rooting for him.

957
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 2: So with your five off the board, those are my

958
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:29,399
Speaker 2: next five.

959
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 1: Done all right.

960
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 2: Final football question, Daniel hey May, what is your analysis

961
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 2: of the purported Joe Buck for the Penn State Purdue

962
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 2: game trade that went down apparently between ESPN and Purdue.

963
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 2: So like, there's a Fox, ESPN and Fox. What did

964
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 2: I say, Yeah, Purdue? No, like definitely different ESPN and Fox.

965
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 2: In case you have not been keeping yourself up to

966
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 2: date with what's going on in the sports media world,

967
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 2: Joe baka Troy ak beIN leaving Fox going over to

968
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 2: ESPA to do Monday Night football big deal in sports

969
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 2: media circles. But as part of that move to bring

970
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 2: Joe Buck over to ESPN from Fox, it's been reported

971
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 2: that there was a trade. That there was a trade.

972
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:26,879
Speaker 2: This requires some understanding of how games get allotted and

973
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 2: how games get assigned out to different networks throughout the

974
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 2: course of a given week. I'm not going to go

975
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 2: into all of that.

976
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: There's a draft. I believe it's a draft. Yeah, it's

977
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: a whole thing.

978
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 2: Kind of cool. I didn't know about it until I

979
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 2: read about this, but yeah, it's like a whole a

980
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 2: whole thing that they built in so that the networks

981
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 2: can pick off the games that makes sense to them.

982
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 2: But as part of that. Apparently the game that was

983
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 2: traded to Fox from ESPN as part of this Joe

984
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 2: Buck acquisition. I guess we can say, yeah, was Penn

985
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 2: State Purdue.

986
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:07,359
Speaker 1: What do you think I think I would watch it

987
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 1: regardless Joe Bucker the game, the game, so Aidan O'Connell's back, right,

988
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: He's back Aiden O'Connell. So he went to the same

989
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 1: high school as Jody with an eye, So I've got

990
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:21,800
Speaker 1: a soft spot there. He's sting. This receiving room is

991
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:23,839
Speaker 1: not going to be as good this year without David Bell.

992
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 2: It also got Brady Allen, who they're bringing in.

993
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 1: I am I am thinking for the money, ESPN probably

994
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 1: got the better of the deal because Monday night football

995
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: is such a good cornerstone franchise, broadcast franchise. But I

996
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,840
Speaker 1: guess I'm happy for Fox that they got Penn State Perdue.

997
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 1: I don't know, like it just kind of seems like,

998
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 1: given where these teams are right now, it's kind of

999
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 1: like a B game like this. This was not a

1000
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: because the original rumor was what Penn State, Ohio State

1001
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,839
Speaker 1: something like that. Now, Notre Dame, Ohio State, notme Ohio State.

1002
00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: Right to open up the year, and that I think

1003
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 1: Burke Magnus, who runs things for ESPN, came out and

1004
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:09,839
Speaker 1: denied that specific story. Was al Michaels not traded at

1005
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: a certain point Oswald the Rabbits during his Disney because

1006
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: he was at ABC and then went to NBC, And

1007
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 1: so this is this is not the first trade that

1008
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 1: you know asset to be named later. So Oswald the

1009
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 1: Rabbit I think was an original property of Disney that

1010
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,759
Speaker 1: perhaps I think Universal had ownership over and Disney wanted

1011
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 1: him back. So Oswald the Rabbit is now back in

1012
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: the Disney archive. I believe I got that story right.

1013
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: I like it. The fascinating thing to me is just

1014
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 1: more broadly speaking with the broadcast movement, is Thursday Night

1015
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 1: is now Amazon? Correct? Correct, Thursday Night NFL is now Amazon.

1016
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: The college tie in is Kirk herb Street is calling

1017
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: that game with al Michaels. Right.

1018
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 2: Was al Michaels announced as the I believe so I

1019
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 2: think Kirkhurbstreet tweeted it out or instagrammed it out that

1020
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 2: al Michaels and Kirkhurbstreet will be calling the Thursday night

1021
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 2: Amazon game, which I.

1022
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 1: Think is being produced by NBC. So I think al

1023
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: Michaels is still going to work with his familiar NBC crew,

1024
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 1: but has left NBC and is not doing Sunday Night.

1025
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 2: They're probably pay I'm assuming.

1026
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: They're probably playing him a pretty penny. Yeah, So kirkhurb

1027
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 1: Street now will be doing what Thursday night football Game

1028
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:33,800
Speaker 1: Day and Saturday Night Football. That's a haul. Yeah, that's

1029
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 1: and announcers And like our pal Adam Amine has been

1030
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,319
Speaker 1: calling multiple sports multiple days and this is not a

1031
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 1: new thing. But to do a three four hour live

1032
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 1: show on Saturday morning, after a turnaround on Friday, doing

1033
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: the Thursday night game different sport, and then traveling again

1034
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 1: potentially Saturday afternoon to call the night game, that's a lot.

1035
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: So you have Joe Buckentreigman to Monday Night Football ESPN,

1036
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 1: kirkhurbs Street to Amazon in addition to his ESPN responsibilities.

1037
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen with the Fox guys,

1038
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 1: because now you're going to have openings at Fox, Like

1039
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: is Joe Davis going to now do NFL games? Is

1040
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 1: Gus Johnson going to do NFL games? Are they doubling

1041
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 1: up college and NFL? I don't know. I don't know

1042
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 1: those are the two big names doing college.

1043
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 2: It'll be very interesting to see. I'm sort of hung

1044
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 2: up on the trading of assets in different universes.

1045
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 1: Okay, I love that possibility. Okay, so let me take

1046
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 1: it to you and make it personal. Please. If ESPN

1047
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 1: came to me and said, we are throwing a million

1048
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 1: dollars at you to spearhead a new college football podcast,

1049
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 1: you have to leave the solid vert give them any ideas.

1050
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:56,839
Speaker 1: But well, I'm letting you know this. I know they

1051
00:55:56,880 --> 00:56:03,400
Speaker 1: take our stuff. What would commiserate value be for me?

1052
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:07,319
Speaker 1: If ESPN went to you and said, we understand, we

1053
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: fully decap the Soliverble, the tandem that is tyinged in right,

1054
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:15,160
Speaker 1: how can we make this right from an asset perspective

1055
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:18,440
Speaker 1: because we know the Soliverble is under contract with whoever.

1056
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:21,439
Speaker 2: Well, I mean for.

1057
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: You have ESPN, you have Disney, you have ABC, you

1058
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 1: have all the properties within that umbrella.

1059
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,880
Speaker 2: For starters, I need the nft of the original ESPN

1060
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 2: two logo because I don't know what they did with

1061
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,280
Speaker 2: that thing, but that lives in infamy.

1062
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:33,839
Speaker 1: I love that.

1063
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, the scratchy yeah, yeah, it's just it's got a

1064
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,840
Speaker 2: street feel to it. I need that so I need that. However,

1065
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 2: they can signify that I have ownership of the mod.

1066
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: Well, think about specific things since think about like the

1067
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 1: ESPN things, the physical things that are meaningful to you,

1068
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 1: Like you mentioned ESPN two. Would you want like Carl

1069
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: Ravitch's leather jacket when they were trying to make ESPN

1070
00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 1: two cool, or like Susie Kolver's like remember they were

1071
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 1: they had him dressed down. I don't know if it's

1072
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:04,280
Speaker 1: Keith Ober and somebody like what are the physical ESPN

1073
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 1: or Disney or I guess ABC if it was if

1074
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: a TV show was produced by ABC, Like would you

1075
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 1: want the tool time set in your house? Wow? That

1076
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:15,240
Speaker 1: was an ABC show? No?

1077
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:15,920
Speaker 2: No, no, no?

1078
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 1: Would you want a display case of like Arkles glasses?

1079
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 2: There really is an open playbook here in terms of

1080
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 2: things that you would ask for. The broader question is

1081
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 2: what are you worth?

1082
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. You know how so it have

1083
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 1: to be worth it to ESPN?

1084
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 2: How aggressive could we get this? I mean, could we

1085
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:34,919
Speaker 2: get the rights to Family Matters? It's not we It's

1086
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 2: not we could I but it's now just you could

1087
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:40,360
Speaker 2: sOliver old media, Like do you want.

1088
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 1: To syndicate Family Matters? On what would we get we

1089
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 1: get the rights to that? No, that's probably too much step.

1090
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 2: By step little Suzanne Summers? Could we do that? Okay?

1091
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 1: So I don't think you could get step by Step.

1092
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 1: I don't think you get family matters.

1093
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 2: But Boy Meets World? What about Boy Meets the World

1094
00:57:58,160 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 2: too much?

1095
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 1: BMW's too much? Which could you have a negotiation about

1096
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 1: hanging with mister Cooper? I think that becomes interesting? Wow,

1097
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 1: like B level tgif Yeah? What are the other pieces

1098
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 1: of ESPN memorabilias like old X game stuff? Like do

1099
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: you want Mike Patrick and his audio archive? Do you want? Like? Uh?

1100
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of like other ESPN physical things

1101
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 1: that would be meaningful to you as a token in

1102
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 1: your home, Like would you want Keith Jackson's yellow ABC jacket. See,

1103
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: I'm not big on the memorabilia thing, okay, but I

1104
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 1: tell you what I wouldn't mind having. I wouldn't mind

1105
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 1: having exclusive ownership of all the ESPN commercials they've done

1106
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: over the years. Oh that's good, But what would you

1107
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 1: do with it?

1108
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe I'd resell them on the internet

1109
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 2: and money off it. But all right, you know the

1110
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 2: Y two K with Charlie Steiner.

1111
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 1: How about this? How about this?

1112
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 2: It's never iffy if it's Griffy with Kenny Maine.

1113
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 1: What if ESPN agreed to cast you in one of

1114
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 1: those commercials like and you got to choose any past

1115
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 1: or present ESPN personality and team. You know, oh, their kneecap,

1116
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 1: their knee cap in me, I quit up here in

1117
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 1: the commercial.

1118
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 2: I quit my job for this.

1119
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 1: I know that's true.

1120
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 2: So if they're taking you away, they're ending the business.

1121
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 2: We're done. It's done. I don't have the Donzo sound,

1122
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 2: but we're done, right, So you got to make it

1123
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 2: worth my while.

1124
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 1: Is there anybody at ESPN or ABC, Slash Disney that

1125
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 1: you would replace me with? That you would that would

1126
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 1: just be a swap. See, now that's interesting, a clean swap.

1127
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: So they just hired Pete Thamil. We don't really know Pete.

1128
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:48,640
Speaker 1: I don't know Pete. Yeah, yeah, Bill Connolly, ESPN.

1129
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:51,439
Speaker 2: Bill Connolly's an interesting poll.

1130
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 1: I don't think he's bringing Rubenstein energy though it's different.

1131
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 1: You have all the people on air, right, all the

1132
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 1: people that call college games, Like, do you think you

1133
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 1: could replace me with a A Niche shroff a Dave Pash.

1134
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 1: Do you think you would do the show with Bill Walton?

1135
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 2: I think Bill Walton would do the show with Bill Walton.

1136
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 2: I don't think there's not there's not enough microphones for

1137
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 2: that one.

1138
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 1: You could go outside of football and hire somebody calling

1139
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:27,479
Speaker 1: you want to the show? They rod, No, No, I don't.

1140
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 2: I don't you know. I mean, if we could somehow

1141
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 2: incorporate the Jack Fowlers skill. Sure, if we could somehow

1142
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 2: incorporate Fouler into this now, he's probably I don't mean

1143
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 2: to be derogatory towards you. Uh, I don't think you'll

1144
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 2: take it as such, But Fowler's got more value than you.

1145
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 2: So could I get him on a limited basis to

1146
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:57,400
Speaker 2: be part of the content of.

1147
01:00:57,400 --> 01:01:00,080
Speaker 1: The show, recurring like a recurring guest, kind of like.

1148
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:02,919
Speaker 2: We had with Bill c Sure, Like, could I bring

1149
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 2: him on for a Patreon show? People would pay for that?

1150
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 2: Fitness tips with Chris? People would pay for fitness tips

1151
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:10,600
Speaker 2: with Chris. You've seen his biceps on Instagram. You know

1152
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 2: what that's all about. Sure, this is a very complex question.

1153
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 2: I did not expect you to turn it around on me.

1154
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 2: Oh man, I will be putting together a list of demands,

1155
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 2: and like a good athletic director, I will keep it

1156
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 2: in my top drawer in the event that's something cataclysmic

1157
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 2: like this were to occur.

1158
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 1: What if it was like a demand that every opening

1159
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:33,920
Speaker 1: Day you get to watch every single baseball game with

1160
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:34,640
Speaker 1: Tim Kirkchin.

1161
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I like Tim Kirkchin. But again, you're nuking

1162
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 2: my business.

1163
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 1: No, I know, no, I know. I'm just trying to

1164
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 1: come up with something appealing to you as a human.

1165
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 2: All Right, I have I have two other questions written

1166
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 2: down here. We're gonna do one. Do you want me

1167
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 2: to do the bug one or the uh sleep deprivation one?

1168
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 2: Sleep deprivation Dan Rubinstein.

1169
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh that was the wrong button. No, that's right,

1170
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 1: leave that in there. I'll leave it in.

1171
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 2: They'll both stay in. What is the latest you have

1172
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 2: voluntary What is the latest you have voluntarily stayed up

1173
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 2: stayed awake? Yeah, in the last twelve months.

1174
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:21,760
Speaker 1: Well, I've had an infant voluntarily stayed up. So that

1175
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 1: was not my choice. That was because I had anice.

1176
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 2: You had to society life.

1177
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:33,440
Speaker 1: Yes, right from my teet. The latest I have probably

1178
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 1: stayed up has probably been no later than twelve thirty am.

1179
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 2: Did you see the ball because I was New Year's Eve.

1180
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 1: No, of course, but I never do that. I was

1181
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 1: probably watching a movie or like I got hooked on,

1182
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 1: like Drive to Survive or some show that I just

1183
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 1: wanted to keep watching. U. There are times because I

1184
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 1: played tennis on Thursday nights. I don't know if you

1185
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 1: ever did this when you were because you played softball,

1186
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 1: But I don't know if you ever did like a

1187
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,920
Speaker 1: more rigorous like sport physical activity.

1188
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 2: How dare you?

1189
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:05,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I went there. When you're done playing, you're

1190
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 1: still juiced up. Yeah, I don't know if Like I

1191
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 1: remember talking to my dad about this when he would

1192
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:12,640
Speaker 1: like play poker until like ten to eleven at night

1193
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: with a bunch of buddies, but he was thinking about

1194
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 1: all of his hands and he still had a lot

1195
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 1: of energy from playing, so he would be up till

1196
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 1: one two am. It's not that.

1197
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 2: Different than when you watch a really high level college

1198
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 2: football game that runs deep into the night and you're

1199
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 2: into it and it just takes after the national championship,

1200
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 2: we were pretty jazzed up.

1201
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 1: We were just late. Did we stay up that night?

1202
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 1: That was one of my later nights. I was close

1203
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:39,040
Speaker 1: to midnight I was past twelve thirty twelve. That was Eastern. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1204
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 1: I'm in God's time zone now, yeah, somewhere in that,

1205
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 1: in that realm, that twelve thirty realm. I just don't

1206
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 1: have it in me. Like even those late games, the

1207
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 1: Pac twelve games. I get up early and watch him

1208
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 1: in the morning that I miss. There's there's no Pac

1209
01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 1: twelve game. And I'm pretty good now because I have

1210
01:03:59,880 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 1: the YouTube TV. I'm pretty good. Now. I'll just you know,

1211
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:05,280
Speaker 1: throw it to the cloud DVR. I'll avoid my phone,

1212
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 1: I'll charge in another room, I'll avoid even if it's

1213
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 1: an organ game. I'll just get up at five and

1214
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 1: you know, skim through it then. So now there, I

1215
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 1: don't have it. I just I'm trying to think. I

1216
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:20,480
Speaker 1: don't think, and I know it's not a fantastic answer.

1217
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:22,080
Speaker 1: What the latest you stayed up? Is what?

1218
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 2: I've been up very late doing what? Nothing in particular,

1219
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:31,560
Speaker 2: But I've been up till three four?

1220
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 1: So what are you doing at two forty four am?

1221
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 2: Going down a YouTube rabbit hole? Sure, clicking around on

1222
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:41,920
Speaker 2: the computer, playing around on the phone.

1223
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:42,400
Speaker 1: Yep?

1224
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 2: Nothing.

1225
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: Are you doing that in bed? Are you doing that

1226
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: in a living room?

1227
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 2: Mostly in the living room, I'd say, yeah, yeah, mostly

1228
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:53,400

1233
01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:08,960
Speaker 2: sleep through the night because of stress and the crushing

1234
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,080
Speaker 2: weight of the job.

1235
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:14,040

Speaker 2: to You. Season two left a little bit to be desired,

1252
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:09,280
Speaker 2: So I watched that was in a mood I am

1253
01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 2: waiting to get rolling on Marvelous Missus Maisel.

1254
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:16,720

1260
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 2: But as for current stuff that I'm watching, sort of

1261
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 2: an open book. I really could go for something to

1262
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 2: fill that void of like a Jack Ryan type of show.

1263
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:43,600
