1
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: All right, welcome to Lake Kickings Live.

2
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 2: It is Sunday night, October tenth. You have our Lord

3
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, jam packed almost to the point of

4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: being loaded. We're coming off what I am affectionately referring

5
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: to as the greatest Saturday in the history of my life.

6
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: And if you're a college football fan and you had

7
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 2: access to a television yesterday, or you were fortunate slash

8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: blessed enough to be at one of these games in person,

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 2: like we were sporting a sunburn as evidence no less,

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: they'll be talking about this one for a long time.

11
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 2: I am a firm believer Director Colin and I could

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: leave right now and start a documentary. Firm that's what

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 2: you want to call it. We could make a great documentary,

14
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 2: could we about yesterday? From start to finish, from dawn

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,639
Speaker 2: until dusk? Incredible football all over the place. I mean,

16
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: what would you do if you went and bought five

17
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: or six lottery tickets and they all hit.

18
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: That's what we felt like yesterday.

19
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have full reaction, as you usual on Sunday.

20
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: It's rapid reaction. Sunday we were at Oklahoma Texas. I'll

21
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 2: talk more about it in a second. I have a

22
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: lot of things to say about that. Alabama goes down

23
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 2: at the hands of Texas, A and M. I was

24
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 2: on a plane watching that last night, which in and

25
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 2: of itself is a pretty unique experience. Some of you

26
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 2: know what it's like to be in a large public

27
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: setting when Alabama loses a game doesn't happen very often.

28
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: I don't know what that's like because I'm normally at

29
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: the biggest games when they actually have a shot at losing,

30
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 2: and I wasn't last night. So that was an experience

31
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: for your boy. We will talk about that. I've got

32
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: a ton of games to discuss. Also, we've got the

33
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: Renaissance Tour Week seven to reveal in just a second.

34
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: And I don't necessarily know that we're going the direction

35
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 2: a lot of you think we're going to go. In fact,

36
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 2: over the next two weeks. Not to give anything away,

37
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: except that's what we do on the Sunday Night Show.

38
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: We may be going different routes than you think we're

39
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: going to go. Got some early best bets tonight. As

40
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: I said, we're going to show you in just a

41
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: second where the Renaissance Tour is headed.

42
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: In week seven.

43
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: Also, and I can't stress this enough. I know some

44
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: of you were on Twitter and you don't do Instagram.

45
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: I know some of you are on Instagram and you

46
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: don't do Twitter. There are reasons to be on both,

47
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: even if it's just starting a burner account so you

48
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: can follow our show at Late Kick Josh. But I

49
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: would strongly encourage you, if you've ever been on the

50
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 2: fence about opening an Instagram account, do it just so

51
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 2: you can watch what I put on there yesterday. In fact,

52
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: all the games I go to and all the behind

53
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 2: the scenes stuff that I shoot for you, I put

54
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: it up in the story. Of course, you can watch

55
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: that for twenty four hours, but then I archive it

56
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 2: and I put it is its own little story highlight.

57
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: You see it right there.

58
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: There's a whole line of them for every game that

59
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: I've been to. Go check out the story highlight from yesterday.

60
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 2: I cannot stress in strong enough terms how perfectly we

61
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: were positioned on the field for so many of those

62
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: big plays. It was touchdown after touchdown after touchdown, and

63
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 2: I don't know how, but we just ended up being

64
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: right there in front of like every single one of them.

65
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: Virtually also got some good FaceTime with BVO yesterday. So

66
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: you're gonna want to go check that out. Incredible, turn

67
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: the sound all the way up. Don't do it around

68
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: anyone else, just go experience it for yourself at Late Kick, Josh,

69
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: that's where you want to be.

70
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: Okay.

71
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: So I had a great time in Dallas. I'm going

72
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: to talk a lot about that in just a second. Also,

73
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: if you were starting to get used to the flow

74
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: of things, you know, on the Late Kick Extra podcast

75
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 2: on Tuesday morning, I'll go in really great detail that

76
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 2: we don't have time to do on the Sunday night

77
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 2: show about all that we experienced. And boy did I

78
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 2: have some experiences. Even the day before the game last night,

79
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 2: it was a chore and a half to get out

80
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: of Dallas. Some of our employees are still in Dallas,

81
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: stuck there until tomorrow because of things totally outside of

82
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: our control. So that's the world of aviation for you.

83
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: But wow, what a weekend.

84
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: Okay.

85
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: So before I get to breaking down this next weekend,

86
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: and before we certainly look back on this past weekend,

87
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: I want to ask you where would you go if

88
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: you ran the Renaissance Tour? Where would you go this Saturday?

89
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: Because we got game Day going to Athens. I think

90
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: SEC Nation is going to Athens. For the record, we

91
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: did strike a lit last minute truce with College Game Day.

92
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: They did reach over the aisle Herbie.

93
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: To his credit, Kirk kurb Street put out a very

94
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: very strong endorsement of the show. And so with that,

95
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 2: there were no late kick signs on game Day. And

96
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: I was standing behind the set when they moved it

97
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: in the stadium yesterday, so I myself was positioned where

98
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: we could have gone full on torpedo mode, but we

99
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 2: did not. But having said that, all the actions headed

100
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: to Athens Saturday. So where would you head for the

101
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 2: Renaissance tour? And I was looking earlier today because I

102
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: kind of put that out and I was asking where

103
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: would you go? And a lot of you said that,

104
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 2: when a lot of you had very in degrees of

105
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 2: different responses. So let me tell you, I want to

106
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 2: lead the show with it. We're not going to wait

107
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 2: until later in the show. Let me tell you where

108
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 2: we're going Saturday. We can go ahead and roll it

109
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: in fact, if we want to. So the line on

110
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: the Georgia Kentucky game is twenty three collin twenty four

111
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: and a half. The line on the Ole Miss Tennessee

112
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 2: game is three and a half. The total is eighty.

113
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: I have not been to Nieland Stadium for the better

114
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 2: part of a decade. It seems like we're going to

115
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: Old Miss Tennessee Saturday night. It's a seven thirty Eastern kick.

116
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: It's on SEC network. I was talking to someone close

117
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 2: to the Tennessee program earlier today and I know that

118
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 2: it was a good win yesterday, but the house was not.

119
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: Full early kickoff.

120
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: People still on the fence about Josh Hypel. Well, you

121
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: don't need to be on the fence anymore. Dive in

122
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: sell Niland Stadium out Saturday night. If for no other reason,

123
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: then we're going to be in town. But in all seriousness,

124
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 2: it's a good team. They are overachieving. It's going to

125
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 2: be a high quality product Saturday night, and we will

126
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: be there. The Renaissance Tour for the first time is

127
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 2: headed to Nieland Stadium.

128
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: Very very excited for that.

129
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: Have not seen Tennessee in person this year, And to

130
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,799
Speaker 2: be real with you, I did not think I was going.

131
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: To have a reason to see Tennessee in person this year.

132
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: But I mean, I'm so sold on it.

133
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 2: I actually brought the orange pate State Thermos and I

134
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: put it on the desk. So that's how sold we

135
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: are on Tennessee right now. It's crazy what a win

136
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 2: over Missouri and a win over or win over South

137
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 2: Carolina will do for confidence.

138
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's this coming weekend. Wow, what a Saturday.

139
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: Let's dive into this week A long way to go.

140
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 2: There's no prayer we're keeping the show under an hour tonight,

141
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 2: but I'm going to talk like an auctioneer and try

142
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 2: to do it anyway. Texas A and M forty one,

143
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: Alabama thirty eight. Why do societies make such a big

144
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 2: deal about competitors? Why do societies, especially ours, and doubly

145
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 2: especially in sports, Why do we lionize competitors so much?

146
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: Why do you talk about those alpha types so much? Well,

147
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 2: in my opinion, the reason I've always looked up to

148
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: supreme competitors and the reason I've always sort of lionized

149
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 2: those alpha type a's is not because they just achieve

150
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 2: a whole lot. To me, the true mark of those

151
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: high level competitors is how differently they respond to adversity

152
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 2: than a normal person, or if you're talking organizationally, how

153
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: different those elite organizations respond to any kind of adversity

154
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 2: than normal organizations would, and it was on display everywhere yesterday,

155
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: and there was no better example of it than College Station.

156
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 2: There was no better example of the way a competitor

157
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: and an organization with competition in the DNA, how they

158
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: respond to adversity. This game, I am including myself in

159
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 2: this was so overlooked that we didn't even do a

160
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 2: breakdown on it last week. I mean, preseason, we thought

161
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: it was going to be the game of the year

162
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: in the SEC. Actually it turned out to maybe be

163
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: the game of the year in the SEC. But real

164
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: talk here, I worked for CBS. We reallocated some of

165
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: our coverage yesterday. People thought this was going to be

166
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: a blowout. I thought it was going to be a blowout.

167
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I was very surprised by this. I was

168
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: very taken the back by I wasn't surprised Bama ended

169
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: up losing the game. I was surprised it was this

170
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: one and look at that aerial shot. I had several

171
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: of you that sent me actual point of view videos

172
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 2: from being on the field after the game.

173
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: It was incredible.

174
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: There were so many crowd stormings yesterday I was a

175
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: part of one. We had that one we had Penn State, Iowa.

176
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 2: But man, what a job by Jimbo Fisher. That's the

177
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: first thing I want to start with. Everyone wants to

178
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 2: talk about why Bama lost, and we can do that,

179
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 2: but part of the reason they lost because they got beat.

180
00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: There was a team that played better than them. They

181
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: got I don't care if they didn't get out gained.

182
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 2: I don't care about all that stuff. I do to

183
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 2: a degree, but it's a football game. Like there are

184
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: more than one or two ways.

185
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: To skin the cat.

186
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: You don't always have to outgain someone on the ground.

187
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: You got to be more opportunistic. You use your home

188
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: crowd when you can. But Texas A and M found

189
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: a way to win a game. It's the first Alabama

190
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: loss since that Iron Bowl in twenty nineteen. I was

191
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: there the last two times Bama lost, actually, and I

192
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: remember that Iron Bowl. And what was crazy was Nick

193
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 2: Saban in his postgame. He doesn't really have notes in

194
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 2: front of him, especially on those road games. He knew

195
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: He not only knew it had been nineteen games since

196
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 2: they lost, he was also able to recall the last

197
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 2: time we won nineteen games in a row. We went

198
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 2: on the road to South Carolina and we lost one,

199
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: and that was in twenty ten. He just recalled that.

200
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 2: No one asked that specific question. He just recalled that.

201
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 2: But it's something to witness, really when you watch an

202
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: organization like Texas, A and M kind of get sold

203
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 2: down the river. No one expected anything. And if you're

204
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 2: telling me otherwise, I think you're lying. But their fan

205
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: base did, or at the very least their fame base

206
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: was willing to buy incles. They sold that place out

207
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 2: last night. It was a marquee environment. Talked to some

208
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 2: folks from Alabama if you don't believe that, but they

209
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: got off the deck. It's a reminder I think about

210
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 2: Jimbo Fisher to the rest of college football.

211
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: He didn't go anywhere.

212
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 2: There's so much volatility in the opinion market week the

213
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 2: week in college football, you know, the beginning of a season.

214
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: Jimbo Fisher's a quarterback whisper, you got your starting.

215
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: Quarterback, go down.

216
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: Zack Kalzada doesn't immediately light the world on fire and

217
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: insert himself into the Heisman conversation. So therefore, Jimbo Fisher's

218
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 2: kind of overrated as a quarterback. Whisper, Well, now what

219
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: is he because three weeks into the Zach Calzada era,

220
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 2: did he look like the quarterback last night? You saw

221
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago against Arkansas, or for that matter,

222
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 2: the Mississippi State game. And to me, and it's not

223
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: just happenstance, it's not just luck. I mean, there were

224
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 2: some things that broke Texas A and M's way last night,

225
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 2: But Jimbo Fisher got really detailed in the post game,

226
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: and I really don't even think he emphasized enough how

227
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 2: hard that staff had to work. Number one, to get

228
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 2: their team where the needed to be mentally, but to

229
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 2: get Zach Kalzada as a quarterback to be where he

230
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: needed to be. Jimbo Fisher broke it down up in

231
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 2: a way that only Jimbo Fisher can. And if you

232
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: think I talked fast, you have to listen to him

233
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 2: break something down. But I don't think most people can

234
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 2: appreciate how hard of a task it's been, given what

235
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 2: the last two weeks included to get that team to

236
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 2: play at the level they did last night. Absolutely it

237
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: was their super Bowl. But see, there a lot of

238
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 2: teams play Alabama and it's a lot of teams Super Bowl,

239
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: not all of them play to that level.

240
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: Texas A and M found a way to last night.

241
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: But they really handled Kalzada well. A lot of motion

242
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: pre snap, they moved the pocket. He was never a

243
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 2: sitting duck for too long. I don't think Alabama had

244
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 2: a sack on him last night. How about that offensive line,

245
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: By the way, Texas A and M's offensive line supposed

246
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: to be the reason that they were ultimately going to

247
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: sputter and then fall, and it has not been an

248
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: offensive line to ride home about much this year. But

249
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 2: last night they gave up four tackles for loss, no sacks,

250
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 2: one penalty, a lot of quick passes, a lot of motions,

251
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff to get Zach Calzada in a

252
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: position to make plays. And then on that point it's

253
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 2: on his shoulders and he made plays. This is how

254
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: Alabama loses, though, I mean, this is the formula unless

255
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: it's just one of those freak occurrences. And I say

256
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: freak in a sense that statistically it's an anomaly, like

257
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 2: the twenty eighteen title game against Clemson, they got beat

258
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: like forty four to sixteen or something like that. Outside

259
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 2: of that kind of game. This is the way it happens.

260
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 2: If you're gonna beat Alabama, you gotta drop some balls

261
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 2: in a bucket that only your guys can catch. You

262
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: gotta have some turnover things go your way. But it's

263
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 2: a hot quarterback and it's a super Bowl performance, and

264
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 2: that's what we got from Texas A and M last night.

265
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: But I think it surprised a lot of people and

266
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 2: it surprised me too. Saban had a good comment postgame.

267
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 2: You know, he talked a lot this week, and it

268
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 2: wasn't made a great big deal of because no one

269
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: believed this could happen. But he is keenly aware because

270
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: he's dealt with this for years, that a team's record

271
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 2: or their ranking doesn't mean anything if they play you

272
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 2: at a top ten level on any given day. And

273
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 2: a team that has enough talent, and Texas A and

274
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: M certainly does, is capable of putting together a top

275
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 2: ten caliber performance on any given day. It doesn't matter

276
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: if they have two losses or four losses. The fact

277
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 2: is you're not dealing with the four loss caliber team.

278
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 2: You're dealing with a team that's playing out of its

279
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 2: mind right now. The scoreboard doesn't care that Texas A

280
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 2: and M had lost a couple of games. School Board

281
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 2: only cares about that day and last night, like A

282
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 2: and M did things they didn't do obviously the past

283
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 2: two weeks. But the vulnerabilities Alabama showed are not, in

284
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 2: and of themselves shocking.

285
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: What are we talking about here.

286
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 2: We're talking about an ultray young offensive team that has

287
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 2: had its two worst performances in the two toughest road

288
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 2: environments that they faced at Florida at Texas A and M.

289
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: That's not shocking.

290
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 2: It's shocking because you're not used to seeing Alabama lose

291
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 2: or struggle in a win. But in and of itself,

292
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 2: that's not shocking. I will say this, though I think

293
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 2: differently about Alabama today. I have found than even a

294
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 2: lot of the Bama fans out there, dude, because I

295
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 2: still look at our Obama and I say, yeah, that

296
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: team is still win a national championship. The problem with

297
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: gauging Alabama, as I've told you one hundred times on

298
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: this show, is people do not hold Bama to the

299
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,599
Speaker 2: same standard they hold the rest of the teams in

300
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 2: college football to. In your mind, maybe not you, but

301
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 2: in a lot of people's minds and they're subconscious. They

302
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: do not hold Bama to the standard that they hold

303
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: the rest of the teams in America to. What they

304
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 2: do is they compare Bama to pass Bama teams. You

305
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 2: look at this team, it's not as good as the

306
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 2: twenty twenty team. And so what do you say in

307
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: your mind? You say, up, I'm downgrading them. Well, Bama

308
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 2: doesn't have to play the twenty twenty Bama team. Who

309
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 2: they'll ultimately have to play in all likelihood is twenty

310
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 2: twenty one Georgia or twenty twenty one you know, Ohio State.

311
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: If they were to get into the playoffs or whatever,

312
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 2: they can beat all those teams.

313
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: I know.

314
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 2: Like, for instance, last week I got criticized because I

315
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 2: told you neither Alabama nor Georgia are invincible teams. They're

316
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 2: being presented as that, but they are not that. They're

317
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 2: very good, they are the best in their class, but

318
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: they are not invincible. Well, last night Bama went down.

319
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 2: Now there's a crowd out there that is going to

320
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 2: make bigger fools of themselves, and they're going to trap

321
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: themselves into the corner of convincing themselves. Georgie is invincible.

322
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 2: Georgia is not either. Georgia can lose a game too.

323
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: Just because they don't look like they can doesn't mean

324
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 2: it can't happen. Because they've got teams coming up on

325
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 2: their schedule that you're looking at and you're saying, well,

326
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 2: based on what I've seen from them, they can't beat Georgia.

327
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 2: What if you don't get a performance on that given

328
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 2: day that you've seen from them so far.

329
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: So with Bama, they can still win things.

330
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: I'm very interested to see what they do with their

331
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 2: rotations moving forward, because I'll tell you what I don't

332
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: think they can do. What I don't think they can

333
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 2: do is win a national championship playing the same cats

334
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 2: they're playing right now. They just brought in the highest

335
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 2: rated recruiting class of all time. Not enough of those

336
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 2: kids are playing, and some of them are good enough to.

337
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 2: I'm not at practice every day. I'm giving you my

338
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 2: slightly informed hunch that a lot of them are good

339
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 2: enough to. And here's part ba that hunch. They got

340
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: Mississippi State coming up, and then they're going to get

341
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: to a bye week. I have an inclination to believe

342
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 2: coming out of that bye week, some of those younger

343
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 2: guys in the secondary, some of those younger guys at receiver,

344
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 2: you're gonna end up seeing them. Some of those younger guys,

345
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: maybe that linebacking corps that you haven't heard a whole

346
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 2: lot from so far this year. Maybe even on the

347
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 2: right side of the offensive line. I think you're going

348
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 2: to see some of them. I don't think in good

349
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 2: conscience that coaching staff Nick Saban obviously chief among them,

350
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: can watch that film today and say those are the guys,

351
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: to a man that we're going to continue to go

352
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 2: into battle with.

353
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: I get loyalty.

354
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 2: I completely understand when all things are equal, you go

355
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 2: with the senior, or you go with at least the veteran,

356
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 2: the guy who's got experience. I don't think all things

357
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 2: are equal. I think some of their better players are

358
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: younger players. I think they know that there's no convenient

359
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: time sometimes to make the switch. But this is the

360
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 2: same guy who changed quarterbacks halftime of National title game,

361
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 2: so I mean stands to reason. I think if that's true,

362
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 2: if what I think is actually happening with that team,

363
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 2: I think they're going to have to make some moves there.

364
00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: But I think they can still win a title. Every

365
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 2: goal they has in front of them. It removes the

366
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 2: margin for error. There is no guy better in this

367
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 2: sport at using losses as ammunition than Nick Saban.

368
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: Having said that, they have work to do.

369
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 2: And I do believe a lot of you out there

370
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: who have long been beating the drum about moving on

371
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: from Pete Golding, I think you're gonna get your wish

372
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 2: after this season. So those are some takeaways, both on

373
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 2: the negative and somewhat positive side. But this wasn't Obama game.

374
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 2: This was a Texas A and M game, Make no

375
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 2: mistake about it. That was a Texas A and M game.

376
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: And young teams struggle on the road. They only struggle

377
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 2: if you take advantage of it. Texas A and them

378
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: took advantage of it. But I told you last night

379
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: I had a really weird situation watching this game. So

380
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 2: after ou Texas, which I'm about to talk about in

381
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 2: parade detail, I go to the airport, which is its

382
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 2: own story. But I was on a flight last night

383
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 2: watching this game because at least the Wi Fi worked.

384
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: But I was watching Alabama lose, and I don't know

385
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 2: what that's like. A lot of people don't know what

386
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 2: it's like to watch Bama louse.

387
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: They rarely do.

388
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: But what I'm telling you is, anytime Bama loses, they're

389
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 2: playing a really good team over the course of the

390
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 2: last several years, if Bama's playing a really good team,

391
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 2: I've been at the game, so I know on the

392
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 2: field what it's like. But I don't know what it's

393
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 2: like to be at a sports bar or a restaurant,

394
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 2: or on an airplane around other people in a social setting.

395
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 2: But I was in it last night. Even on an

396
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 2: airplane somewhere over Arkansas. You had a packed seven thirty seven,

397
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 2: and you had everyone's laptops open, including a flight attendant

398
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 2: sitting next to me that was just in route to

399
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 2: somewhere she had to work today, and she was freaked.

400
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: Out of her mind, and the whole plane was.

401
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 2: I told Colin, watching Alabama lose in a social setting

402
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 2: is like watching Fourth of July fireworks.

403
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: It just brings everyone together. It's really a crazy occurrence,

404
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: and I don't see it enough.

405
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 2: I had forgotten how polarizing that Alabama brand is nationally.

406
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 2: It is truly a New York Yankees college football situation.

407
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 2: Everyone on that plane ends up erupting, cheering, and they're

408
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 2: all wearing headphones. So it's like if you weren't watching

409
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 2: the game and all of a sudden people started cheering.

410
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know what you could have

411
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 2: thought was going on, but man, that was kind of weird,

412
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: very surreal. Couldn't have scripted it, It just happened that way.

413
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 2: So I've got several more games to talk about.

414
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: Hang type. Man.

415
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 2: What a day though yesterday in Dallas. So I get

416
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 2: there and sure enough, wall to wall for as far

417
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 2: as the eye can see. Of course, we're at the

418
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 2: State Fair at Texas, so you've got the Academy tents

419
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 2: all over the parade grounds. Some of them were for

420
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: tailgating and some of them were just for attractions. But

421
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 2: I had people, actually for the first time in person,

422
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 2: coming up to me yesterday and talking about having purchased

423
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 2: from Academy Sports because of the show.

424
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: Now that is music to my ears.

425
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 2: It's music to the ears of our friends at Academy

426
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 2: Sports and Outdoors. Here's the whole premise, and this is

427
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 2: the whole premise that I need to give you. There's

428
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 2: nothing behind the scenes. We do not load this show

429
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 2: up with sponsors. As you can see. If that were

430
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: the case, this White Cup on set would be replaced

431
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 2: with someone's logo.

432
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: I mean, what logo do we have up here, Colin.

433
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 2: We got a logo we made up for a university

434
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 2: we made up and the college football playoff over there

435
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 2: because they gave it to us for free. We don't

436
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 2: slap a whole lot of stickers on this thing. There's one,

437
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 2: and it's called They're loyal to us. They're really good

438
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 2: to us, and we love the relationship with them and

439
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 2: we believe.

440
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: In what they do. Otherwise we wouldn't let them on

441
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: the show.

442
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 2: Academy Sports and Outdoors, though, has everything.

443
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: That you need. I see you guys every Saturday. I

444
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: know what you're out there with.

445
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 2: I know what you throw around at the tailgate before

446
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 2: the game. I know what you have on your back,

447
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 2: I know what you're grilling that food on. I know

448
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 2: what you're hiding under to hide from the sun.

449
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: Of the rain. It's all at Academy Sports and Outdoors.

450
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: And so continue to live your life exactly how you are.

451
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 2: Just alter your purchasing decisions away from some of those

452
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 2: other brands which aren't to be mentioned on this program,

453
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: and just redirect flow over to Academy Sports and Outdoors

454
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 2: and if you can't get to a store in person, just.

455
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: Visit Academy dot com.

456
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 2: Academy Sports and Outdoors though the official outdoor sporty good

457
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 2: supplier of not only late Kick, but they got the

458
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 2: SEC they got the Big twelve.

459
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: So it's the place to go. Do yourself a favor.

460
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: You'll be glad you did, and then screenshot the receipt

461
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: and send.

462
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 2: It to me because they like that too. I have

463
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 2: to take a couple of deep breaths before I talk

464
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 2: about the next game. Thank you all, by the way

465
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 2: for being in the live chat. Sometimes I don't look

466
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 2: over at the screen, so hey, guys, I waved.

467
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: At you, but you can see that clearly. Wow, what

468
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: do I say? Okay, so let's just dive into it.

469
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 2: Oklahoma beats Texas in an all time classic Red River

470
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: shootout yesterday fifty five to forty eight.

471
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: I caved a little bit. I got to tell you.

472
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 2: I was doing pre and postgame hits on CBS Sports

473
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 2: HQ and I called at the Red River show down

474
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: and for that I apologize because this was a shootout

475
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 2: of epic proportions. This is the best college football game

476
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: I've ever seen in person. It's right there at the

477
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 2: top of the list. I don't have to really wait

478
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 2: to marinate on. That is the best college football game

479
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 2: I've ever seen in person. It is one of, if

480
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 2: not the very best college football atmospheres and settings I've

481
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 2: ever seen. I was telling Director Colin before the show.

482
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,959
Speaker 2: I say, Colin, I've been to a lot of big games.

483
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 2: We go to the probably the biggest one or on

484
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 2: one of the biggest ones in the country.

485
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: Every week.

486
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 2: I get to be in person to see the best

487
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 2: that college football has to offer. Sometimes you go to

488
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 2: an event and either because of the game being lopsided,

489
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 2: or just the event itself being overhyped, or the stadium

490
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: and venue being overhyped, it doesn't quite live up to it.

491
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 2: It's good, but it doesn't quite measure up the Red

492
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 2: River Shootout and the Cotton Bowl there in Dallas. For

493
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 2: this game, even though it's really really hyped nationally, I

494
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,239
Speaker 2: still think it's underrated. After what I saw yesterday and

495
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 2: what I experienced, I really think it's still underrated. There's

496
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 2: not a better setting in college football. I don't know

497
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 2: what else to tell you. The people who have been

498
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 2: to the game know what I'm talking about. Everything's just great,

499
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 2: everything's just perfect, the way it's set up, the fifty

500
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 2: to fifty crowd split. The fact that there are no

501
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 2: luxury suites in the stadium means you don't see a

502
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 2: single sweater vest, you don't see a single bow ties

503
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 2: ninety two degrees. People are poor and sweat, but it's

504
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 2: die hard college football fans.

505
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: It's not corporate.

506
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 2: The last word any one would have used yesterday's corporate.

507
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 2: To the point, I kid you not where midway through

508
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 2: the second quarter, when Texas scored one of like seventeen

509
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: touchdowns they did in the first half, I looked to

510
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 2: my left in their cheerleaders, I look to my right,

511
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 2: Mark Cuban standing next to me.

512
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: That's how it can happen.

513
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 2: Sometimes they're just a random billionaire standing next to you.

514
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 2: Why because there's no suite for him to be in. Awesome, awesome, awesome,

515
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 2: And then the game happens. And the game, like I said,

516
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 2: got to be the best I've ever seen in person.

517
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 2: Seen multiple national championship games, multiple conference championship games. It

518
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 2: doesn't get better than yesterday. And if you watched you

519
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 2: know exactly what I'm talking about. And if you haven't watched.

520
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 2: If you were watching other games yesterday, if your team

521
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 2: was playing and you were just getting score updates, which

522
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 2: must have looked.

523
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: Like a video game. By the way, this was not

524
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: to me one of.

525
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 2: Those classic no defense being played anywhere, cheap points.

526
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: After cheap points. It wasn't that kind of game.

527
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 2: True enough, Texas folded in some cases Accordion style defensively

528
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 2: in the second half, but it was still there to

529
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 2: be had, and Oklahoma took it.

530
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: Such a classic game, so let's dive in. It's one

531
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: you don't analyze.

532
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 2: Yesterday I was talking to Hakeem Dirmish on CBS Sports

533
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 2: ASQ for the post game. I said, I know tendency

534
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 2: is to analyze and to talk about this big play

535
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: or this big player, but.

536
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: These kinds of games, I don't know.

537
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 2: You can say that, hey, Spencer Rattler gets bitched and

538
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams goes off, and boy, that's a huge story

539
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 2: I'm about to talk about. But there were so many

540
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 2: people who went off. I mean, hats off to Kennedy

541
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 2: Brooks after that Bjon Robinson talk and he fulfilled on that.

542
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 2: By the way, yesterday did Bjeon Robinson one of the

543
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 2: most incredible runs you'll ever see. But after hearing that

544
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 2: talk all week, and after hearing people all season accurately

545
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 2: tell you that Oklahoma's ground game and offensive line hadn't

546
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 2: quite lived up to preseason expectation, Kennedy.

547
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: Brook just went off, including putting the nail.

548
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: In the coffin at the end of the game, had

549
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 2: over two hundred on the ground.

550
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: Hats off to him on the other side.

551
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 2: Xavier Worthy, that's a kid we talked about for several

552
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 2: shows in all August, getting you ready. In fact, we

553
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 2: said specifically about his name. In Big Texas games, you're

554
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: going to hear the name Xavier Worthy because that's the

555
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 2: guy that gives them the best deep threat potential. He

556
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 2: was committed to Michigan. Couldn't get in up there. Long story,

557
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 2: but long story short, he's at Texas now. He is

558
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 2: the closest thing to being the embodiment of the skill

559
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 2: set that sarcad at Alabama. Texas folks know this, the

560
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 2: nation knows it now. He had what nine catches for

561
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 2: of a two hundred and fifty yesterday two touchdowns, had

562
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 2: an unfortunate special team's play, But that's a true freshman

563
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 2: just walked in the door, didn't even plan on playing

564
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 2: for Texas initially.

565
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: And what a weapon he was. So he goes off.

566
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 2: I mean, you got I think Casey Thompson, if he

567
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 2: hadn't already confirmed it in everyone's mind doubly, and Tripoli

568
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 2: stamping the idea that that's his job.

569
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: So he went off yesterday.

570
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 2: But the story obviously was Spencer Ratler starting, Spencer Ratler

571
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 2: getting shook again by a moment too big for him,

572
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 2: and Vinci Ratler getting benched, and Caleb Williams coming in

573
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 2: much to the delight. And I can't stress this enough,

574
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 2: the supreme delight of Oklahoma fans and his team. Body

575
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 2: language important, read it every now and then. And he

576
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 2: won the game for him And not only did he

577
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 2: win the game, this wasn't even this was one of

578
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 2: the apples to apples. They were down by eighteen multiple times.

579
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 2: Were the Oklahoma Sooners. I could not be any more impressed.

580
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 2: And so there are a lot of things, a lot

581
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 2: of different ways you can go with this, but I

582
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 2: think the thing to take away is, to me, this

583
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 2: is an entirely new Oklahoma team.

584
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: Now, make no mistake.

585
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 2: When you have that kind of confluence of events, happen

586
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 2: when you come all the way back in a game

587
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 2: of this magnitude, when you've played close games before this

588
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 2: year that may have given your organization reason to doubt

589
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 2: itself internally a little bit. And then you get down

590
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 2: to the degree they were and you come back, and

591
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 2: you do it with your backup quarterback who absolutely is

592
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 2: now the nucleus of your program and the starter moving forward,

593
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 2: or at least steed better be. And then a team

594
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 2: that is very talented realizes what it's capable of. You

595
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 2: might as well have flipped a switch. You might as

596
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 2: well have called yesterday week one for Oklahoma, because my

597
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 2: hunch is, moving forward, I'm not telling you they're going

598
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 2: to win a national title. I'm telling you the new

599
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 2: version of Oklahoma, the team you'll see moving forward, is

600
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 2: going to be a whole lot more likely to fulfill

601
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 2: on that immense preseason expectation number one hype than the

602
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 2: version we had seen so far. That's the kind of

603
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 2: stuff that totally switches a season and turns it on

604
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 2: its ear. What you saw Oklahoma do yesterday, those experiences,

605
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 2: by the way, are so much better for you down

606
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 2: the road than winning a blowout forty two to ten.

607
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 2: In the moment, everyone wants to win comfortably, but as

608
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 2: the championship teams, the ones that have ended up getting

609
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 2: it done at the end, that have crossed the finish line,

610
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 2: and they'll tell you some of the most important lessons

611
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 2: in some of the most critical parts of the DNA

612
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 2: that ended up making up the identity of this program.

613
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 2: They were forged in knife fights, games that maybe we

614
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 2: had no business being close in but had to find

615
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 2: a way to win, or maybe instant classics like the

616
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 2: one Oklahoma.

617
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: Played in yesterday.

618
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 2: However, you achieve it when teams can taste their own

619
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 2: blood and then get off the deck, like we were

620
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 2: talking about with A and M being a competitor and

621
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 2: a supreme competitor at that you just handle adversity differently.

622
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 2: The great ones out there handle it differently. Most folks

623
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 2: aren't great, Most teams aren't great. That's why most teams

624
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 2: would have folded yesterday. Oklahoma didn't, and it's going to

625
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 2: pay dividends for him down the road.

626
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: Now. There are a couple of different angles.

627
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 2: You can go at with Texas too, because I took

628
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 2: away a lot of positive It's the first year for

629
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 2: Steve Sarkesian, great pair of pants he wore into that

630
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,719
Speaker 2: place yesterday, by the way. But you can look at

631
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 2: it one of two ways. You can say it was

632
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 2: great to see them get off to a fast start,

633
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 2: which is true. It was great to see them go

634
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 2: on the offensive. It was great to see the moment,

635
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 2: well at least at the beginning, not be too big

636
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 2: for him.

637
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: All that is true. They validated a lot of what

638
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: you hope the future of Texas football will be yesterday.

639
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 2: But I was over on Horns twenty four to seven

640
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 2: and I was reading Mike Roach's stuff and he made

641
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 2: a good point, and it's harsh, but I do think

642
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 2: think it's valid and I do think it's accurate. That

643
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 2: was a choke job by Texas in the second half

644
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 2: of that game. As much accolades as you want to

645
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 2: throw around, or as many accolades as you want to

646
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 2: throw around for the.

647
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: First half, what else can you say.

648
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 2: It's forty one to twenty three, guys, It's forty one

649
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 2: to twenty three Texas late in the third quarter, and

650
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 2: Oklahoma ripped off a thirty two to seven run to

651
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 2: close that game out. And there are a lot of

652
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 2: different points of blame to me, I didn't hear Bjon

653
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 2: Robinson's name called nearly enough in the second half of

654
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 2: my taste. Their drive chart Texas second half drives three plays,

655
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 2: eight plays, three plays, three plays, six plays, six plays

656
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 2: thirty two seven. That's how that happens in the second half.

657
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 2: And so what do you make of it moving forward?

658
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: What does it mean?

659
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 2: Well, I think what it means is there are some

660
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 2: good pieces there. The concept is good, like the philosophy

661
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 2: is good. Sark doesn't have all the players he needs yet.

662
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 2: But to me, the net result is it's a bitter

663
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 2: pilled a swallow. But I think it really gives you

664
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 2: a ton of juice in recruiting for Texas to go

665
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 2: out and say, listen, it's year one, okay, and that

666
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 2: team over there that we narrowly got beat by, that's

667
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 2: a team that a lot of people think can win

668
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 2: a title. They've got a several year head start on us.

669
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 2: We let them, and the difference is in the second half.

670
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 2: If I'm in the living room of a recruit, I'm

671
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 2: telling that kid, they had more guys like you than

672
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 2: we had.

673
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: We showed you how we can start.

674
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 2: You are the kind of kid that can help us finish,

675
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 2: and we're gonna get a lot of them, just like you.

676
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 2: That's what I do with it. That's how I packaged

677
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 2: that game up yesterday, because there's a lot to be

678
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 2: proud of, there's a lot to be aggravated about. And

679
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 2: you know, the greatest coaching staff's out there. They can

680
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 2: harnes us both. Really, they can harness both. Now the

681
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 2: question is going to be for Oklahoma. You know they've

682
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 2: got so let's talk Texas. Since the schedule's up. Texas

683
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 2: played OU, they get no bye week, They've got Oklahoma State.

684
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State off a bye week. By the way, this

685
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 2: week to be a tough game. It's gonna be a

686
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 2: really tough game. Oklahoma State's undefeated. By the way, Texas

687
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 2: incurs their second loss, it's gonna be very tough. How

688
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 2: do you get your kids back? How do you get

689
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 2: your team back?

690
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of that scheduling dynamic, to

691
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: be blatantly honest with you, I don't think the Big

692
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: twelve cares.

693
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 2: But I'm not a big fan of that. But for Oklahoma,

694
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 2: I think they got TCU this week. They're an eleven

695
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 2: and a half point favorite at last check. If I'm right,

696
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 2: and if that switch has been flipped, you will see

697
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 2: a different Oklahoma team. In fact, if I'm right and

698
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 2: I wanted to put my money where my mouth is,

699
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 2: I would start betting blindly on Oklahoma minus down the

700
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 2: stretch because they're spreads in the second half of the

701
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 2: season are going to be based on the team they've

702
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 2: been so far. If I'm right and they're gonna be

703
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 2: the team they've been so far plus a bunch, then

704
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 2: it stands to reason they should cover these numbers and

705
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 2: get some margin on these teams. I'll be really interested

706
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 2: to watch that. But what a game, best college football

707
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 2: game I've seen in person. Cannot speak highly enough about

708
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 2: the experience in the atmosphere there. I'm gonna talk more

709
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 2: about that on the Tuesday Morning podcast. Okay, let's close

710
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 2: the chapter right there, and let's open a new one.

711
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 2: I also had a very interesting experience yesterday with Penn

712
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 2: State and Iowa. Penn State was up seventeen to three.

713
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 2: That's about the time I'm leaving the Cotton Bowl yesterday.

714
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 2: So I go to the airport and right before I'm

715
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 2: going to board a flight, I see the end and

716
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 2: I see a twenty spot on the board for Penn State,

717
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 2: and I see twenty three on the board for Iowa.

718
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: I don't know how it happened. I'm sitting there thinking

719
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: to myself, seventeen to three. All they gotta do is

720
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: they could take knees the rest of the day.

721
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 2: I shouldn't be able to catch up and overtake that,

722
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 2: but they did.

723
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: And so man Iowa.

724
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 2: Every now and then you get one of those teams

725
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 2: and it's like there could be a million stars in

726
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 2: the sky, but if you looked up from their campus,

727
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 2: you would only see one because every one of those

728
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 2: stars is aligned. And that's exactly what's happening with Iowa

729
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 2: right now. Don't apologize for it. Don't feel bad about it.

730
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 2: I saw some folks criticizing Iowa fans for storming the field.

731
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 2: Let me give our Iowa folk a little advice. Number one,

732
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 2: don't listen to me, because I've clearly been off on

733
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 2: Iowa this year. But number two, don't pay any mind

734
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 2: what anyone else thinks about the way that you support

735
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 2: your program and the way that you feel about your program.

736
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: Look at this scene.

737
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 2: If you're listening on podcasts, I want you to imagine

738
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 2: about seventy thousand people clad in yellow and black on

739
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 2: a field after a game.

740
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: That's what it's all about. Don't apologize for it.

741
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 2: The only reason people are a little salty about it

742
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 2: is because they themselves can't be in that position. So

743
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 2: good for Iowa. Celebrate when's the last time it felt

744
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 2: like this? Chris hasselin company, When's the last time you

745
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 2: felt like this lifetimes ago? That's the answer, So absolutely

746
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 2: celebrate it. Consider how this game started. I felt so

747
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 2: good early on about the way Penn State started, and

748
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 2: they started terribly so early in the game, Sean Clifford

749
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 2: throws a pick inside their own ten yard line, sets

750
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 2: Iowa up first in goals, So you got to be

751
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 2: thinking at that point, here comes more of the same

752
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 2: classic Iowa. This stuff only happens for Iowa, and they

753
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 2: get a feel goal. Okay, there was another turnover and

754
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 2: I think in the first quarter for Penn State.

755
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: Yet with all that, they led seventeen to three.

756
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: If you told me last week going into Saturday, Penn

757
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 2: State's gonna get himselves a seventeen to three lead at

758
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 2: some point in the first half, I would have said,

759
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 2: bar the door.

760
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: That's it.

761
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 2: Even if they don't score another point, that'll be good enough.

762
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 2: And they almost didn't score another point and it wasn't

763
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 2: good enough. Now, Sean Clifford went down in this game

764
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 2: obviously had an impact on the outcome. I'm not gonna

765
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 2: sit here and tell you that. I just definitively know

766
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 2: that Penn State would have won had Sean Clifford still

767
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,719
Speaker 2: been in. I do think they would have won by

768
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 2: double digits. How had he remained in the game. That's

769
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 2: what I think. What I think doesn't matter. I thought

770
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 2: Penn State was gonna win this game. I thought Iowa

771
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 2: State was gonna beat Iowa. So I thought a lot

772
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 2: of things about Iowa that had been wrong this year.

773
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 2: JP pulled out tomorrow, by the way, but the game

774
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 2: pretty obviously shifted.

775
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: I think we can at least all agree with that.

776
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: Clifford doesn't play defense, though, was the thing that I.

777
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 2: Took away from this and yesterday. Now relative to Iowa,

778
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 2: let's just keep that in mine. Yesterday, I think I

779
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 2: would did some good things offensively. Petros was seventeen to

780
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 2: thirty one, you know, which is not something that you'd

781
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 2: be excited about if you were at Oklahoma or Alabama.

782
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,439
Speaker 1: But I was not known for offense. This year.

783
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 2: He threw it for one ninety five, but he threw

784
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 2: for eleven point five yards per completion. They made some

785
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 2: big plays through the air when they needed to, and

786
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 2: it was in big moments. I caught that touchdown pass

787
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 2: by the way to Regandi about six minutes left in

788
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. If you could just bottle that moment up,

789
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 2: if you could bottle up that Spencer Petris go ahead

790
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 2: touchdown with about six minutes to go in regulation against

791
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 2: Penn State, when they took the lead for good, and

792
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 2: you could just bottle that up, and you could put

793
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 2: it into liquid form, and you could inject that into

794
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 2: someone's veins. I don't think anyone would ever die again.

795
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 2: I think our average life expectancy would be like four

796
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:49,959
Speaker 2: hundred years old.

797
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: It would be Methuselis style. I think we could live forever.

798
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 2: That kind of adrenaline from Gus Johnson in the booth,

799
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 2: to obviously the players on the field, to Kinnick Stadium,

800
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 2: so which went on to single handedly rip any shot

801
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 2: Penn State had of coming back out from their clutches.

802
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 2: What an environment, What an adrenaline fueled few minutes that

803
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 2: ended that game, and it culinated, of course with the postgame.

804
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: Scene on the field.

805
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 2: It could be that you live the rest of your

806
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 2: life if you're an Iowa Hawkeye fan and you never

807
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,760
Speaker 2: experience a moment that emotionally charged.

808
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: Again, just incredible.

809
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 2: That's why I always tell you, guys, this stuff, this

810
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 2: college football stuff, it's about Saturdays, and it's about moments.

811
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 2: It's not about some postseason game often some NFL dome

812
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 2: one thousand miles away from your campus. It's about Saturdays

813
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 2: in the fall. Those kinds of moments. You can live

814
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 2: one hundred years. You may never experience anything like that. Again,

815
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 2: the takeaway moving forward though, as I've talked to several

816
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 2: of our Penn State folks, I was going back and

817
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 2: forth some today on Twitter with some Penn State folks

818
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 2: who said, well, shame on James Franklin, And I said,

819
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 2: why is that, friend, Why is it shame on James

820
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 2: frank Well, he didn't have a backup quarterback ready. Well

821
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 2: he did, maybe you missed it. He beat Yeah, he

822
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 2: beats South here, he beat LSU yesterday.

823
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: Like, shame on James Franklin. He didn't have a backup

824
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: quarterback ready? Yeah he did. The kid beat LSU yesterday.

825
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: He plays for Kentucky. That's where the backup quarterback went.

826
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 2: And so you're using your third string quarterback you have,

827
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,760
Speaker 2: But shame on him for not going to the transfer

828
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 2: portal and getting a kid because he knew, as should

829
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 2: any coach worth Assault, that we could be in this position,

830
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 2: we could lose our starter. Yeah, he knew it. That's

831
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 2: part one of the equation. Bad things could happen. But

832
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 2: your part two is what I want to focus on

833
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 2: for a second. Shame on James Franklin. We're not having

834
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 2: a backup quarterback Will he did. We've established that Will

835
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 2: levis transferred. So you're really talking about shame on James

836
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 2: Franklin for not having a third string quarterback in the

837
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 2: house prepared to go on the road and beat Iowa.

838
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 2: And your response to that, to a large degree has

839
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 2: been he should have leveraged the portal, to which my

840
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 2: response has been, who are we talking about?

841
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: Which player? We all we all saw the portal.

842
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 2: We all know it's pretty well publicized which quarterbacks were

843
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 2: out there.

844
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: So who are we talking about? Who could Penn State

845
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: have gotten TJ? Finley? Is that who they would have gotten? TJ? Finley.

846
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 2: Is that the kid that's going to go into Iowa

847
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 2: and beat them? Oh, by the way, could you have

848
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 2: convinced TJ. Finley to come to campus. I'm not speaking

849
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 2: in an informed manner. I'm telling you, I'm just pulling

850
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 2: a name out of the hat.

851
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: The answer is they have the best quarterback roster they

852
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: could have.

853
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 2: There wasn't an option out there. The transfer portals not

854
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 2: a grocery store. I don't know if people have realized this.

855
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 2: You can't just go in and grab whatever you want to.

856
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,919
Speaker 2: It's more like a Venezuelan grocery store. You walk in

857
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 2: and the shelves are largely bare, and there's like one

858
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,879
Speaker 2: brand of toilet paper over here, and the government owns

859
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 2: it and if you.

860
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: Don't like it, tough.

861
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 2: That's kind of how it is shopping for quarterbacks in

862
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 2: the portal. Every now and then you strike gold, but

863
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 2: by and large, it's let's go in there. I don't

864
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 2: really feel great about our prospects, especially if we're not

865
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 2: looking for a starter.

866
00:37:58,920 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 1: That's the key. Guys.

867
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 2: You weren't going in there looking for a kid called

868
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 2: Sean Clifford was leaving. You were looking for someone.

869
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: Because his backup left.

870
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 2: What's the selling point that you're going to use to

871
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 2: convince a kid that is starting caliber to come to

872
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 2: Penn State.

873
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: It wasn't in the cards, is my point.

874
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 2: So your best shot now is to get as healthy

875
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 2: as you can, because they lost some players yesterday, get

876
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 2: as healthy as you can in this bye week. Penn

877
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 2: State can absolutely still accomplish every goal they have set

878
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 2: out in front of them. There are no unbeatens in

879
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 2: this sport this year. I was talking to someone earlier

880
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 2: today about this. Sometimes it takes a while for us

881
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 2: to shake the year's past. Twenty nineteen LSU conditioned you.

882
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty Alabama conditioned you, and it conditioned you to

883
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 2: think as soon as any other team out there shows

884
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 2: even the slightest hint of vulnerability, not even to mention

885
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 2: a loss, throw them on the scrap heap, because we

886
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 2: think you have to be so good to win a

887
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 2: title that if you dare lose a game, there's no

888
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 2: way you're capable of it. This is not twenty nine team.

889
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 2: There is not a Joe Burrow led LSU team out there.

890
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 2: There is not a twenty twenty Bama out there.

891
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: This year.

892
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 2: The team that's going to end up winning a title,

893
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 2: or the teams that are going to be there at

894
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 2: the end are the ones that respond the best to

895
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 2: tasting their own blood, oftentimes in the form of a loss.

896
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 2: All Penn State did yesterday was lose a game. If

897
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 2: you had one through ten on a grease board in

898
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 2: their locker room, their goals for twenty twenty one, none

899
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 2: of them got erased, short of going undefeated, short of

900
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 2: beating Iowa, none of them got to raise yesterday. For

901
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 2: all you know, they may see him again. Who knows.

902
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 2: No one knows how the season is going to play out.

903
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 2: It's a challenge right now. They got to buy at

904
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 2: the perfect time. They got to get Sean Clifford back.

905
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 2: Don't have an update on him right now, but Penn

906
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 2: State still has it to do Iowa, however, they are

907
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 2: now undefeated. Still, they are cruising right along still. But

908
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 2: as I have continued to tell you in the odds

909
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 2: making community, for whatever that's worth to you, at this point,

910
00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 2: they are not going to view this undefeat as they

911
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 2: would most undefeateds. And the case in point is this

912
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 2: week's spread. Perdue is not a good team. They are

913
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 2: coming to Iowa. Iowa opened is like an eleven or

914
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 2: eleven and a half point favorite. I mean, that's the

915
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 2: way it is right now with Iowa.

916
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter.

917
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 2: Keep winning games, it doesn't matter. I got several more

918
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 2: games to get to. Okay, So yesterday there were some

919
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 2: really really big time games in a lot of conferences.

920
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 2: They kind of got masked because of what was going

921
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 2: on and just the insanity that was going on nationally.

922
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: But I wanted to touch on several of them. Here.

923
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: Georgia goes into Auburn yesterday. Let's just call it like

924
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: it is.

925
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 2: Georgia beat Auburn thirty four to ten with backup parts.

926
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 2: That's how good Georgia is right now. Not invincible, but

927
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 2: really good. Probably going to be our number one in

928
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 2: the country tomorrow. I think it's pretty safe to say

929
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 2: on the JP pole. But they suffocated Auburn in Jorden

930
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 2: Hair Stadium, which historically has been a really hard place

931
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 2: to play for them, and they do it with backup parts.

932
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 1: JT.

933
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 2: Daniels is not available, don't care, just throw stets in.

934
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 2: Ben at Adam, Jermaine Burton not available.

935
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: That's all right, lad McConkie, W'll just go off.

936
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 2: Had five catches one hundred and thirty five yards touchdown,

937
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. They had Kenny McIntosh out yesterday, doesn't matter.

938
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 2: You know why comes we can play defense. Auburn put

939
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 2: ten on the board yesterday and there were some people

940
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 2: model the Surprises scored ten.

941
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's where Georgia is right now. Their schedule

942
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: is what it is.

943
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 2: What I'm excited to see, and I don't know if

944
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 2: I would tell you if you're a fan of these teams,

945
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 2: to be excited, But what I will be excited to

946
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 2: see is as you look at their future schedule. They

947
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 2: got Kentucky this week. I don't like Kentucky's chances so

948
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 2: much so that we're not going.

949
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: To the game. We chose an alternate game. But that's

950
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 1: why they play the game. So we'll see.

951
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 2: But after that, they do play Tennessee, which can at

952
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 2: least complete a four pass or two on you. They

953
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 2: do play Florida. You have never seen a team in

954
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 2: super Bowl mode more than Florida will be for Georgia.

955
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,919
Speaker 2: And then that's probably about it before the SEC Championship game.

956
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 2: So are we really going to go wire to wire

957
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 2: with Georgia having no firm challenge the regular season in

958
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,919
Speaker 2: conference remains to be seen. I tend to believe there's

959
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 2: got to be a game out there, probably going to

960
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 2: be one of those two, if there are one, or

961
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 2: if there is one. But Georgia a different level right

962
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 2: now than anyone they've played.

963
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: That's pretty clear.

964
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,280
Speaker 2: Now you start to get Kirby Smart in a situation

965
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 2: he's never been before, and his team's never been in

966
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 2: this situation to taste that rarefied air of being considered

967
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 2: the best team in the country, not one of They're

968
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 2: gonna be told they're the best team in the country,

969
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 2: and it is right now October tenth, So that's going

970
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:33,760
Speaker 2: to go on for a couple of months.

971
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: How will they handle it? I don't know. Doescurby smart No?

972
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: I know he will try and handle it the right way.

973
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:44,760
Speaker 2: But it's that exclusivity, even though it really doesn't mean anything.

974
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 2: It's just words coming out of people's mouths. That has

975
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 2: a funny effect team to team. Sometimes it doesn't matter

976
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 2: at all. Sometimes you watch a game on Saturday and

977
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 2: it's so apparent by the first part of the second

978
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 2: quarter this team's been reading their own press clippings. We'll

979
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 2: just see how they handle it. I mean it shouldn't

980
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 2: be a problem. They've been at the table for a

981
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 2: little while. Now, what about Old Miss? Poor Arkansas scores

982
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 2: fifty one and it wasn't enough. Fifty two to fifty one.

983
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 2: Yet another instant classic, just a whole hum fifty two

984
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 2: to fifty one thriller. Here, let me throw a little

985
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 2: transitive scenario at you.

986
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: This is great.

987
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,720
Speaker 2: There was a transitive property out there today that proved

988
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 2: how Vandy I think is better than Alabama, and it

989
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 2: threw San Jose stayed in there or Colorado state crazy.

990
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 2: In fact, I'm gonna try and look that up for

991
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 2: you before the end of the show. I know who

992
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 2: tweeted it out, and I'm gonna try and look it

993
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 2: up for you.

994
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: Before the end of the show.

995
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll see anyway, how about this for you? So

996
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 2: follow me here because it's a very tangled spider web.

997
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,439
Speaker 1: Alabama shut down Old Miss. Just saw it last week.

998
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: So Bbama shuts down Old Miss.

999
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,280
Speaker 2: But then they get beat last night by Zach Calzada,

1000
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 2: the same Zach Calzada. They got shut down by Arkansas,

1001
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 2: which just got splattered by Old Miss yesterday. Well then

1002
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 2: it get splattered, they get shredded because it was only

1003
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 2: a one point game. Point is those are the ingredients

1004
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 2: of a renaissance season. That's when you know things are crazy.

1005
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:07,399
Speaker 2: There is no order, there is no flow chart. It's

1006
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 2: just hit the reset button and every week is going

1007
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 2: to give you a different set of results that are

1008
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 2: individualized and they make no sense week to week relatively.

1009
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:16,439
Speaker 1: This is tough to swallow, though.

1010
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 2: kJ Jefferson played out of his mind yesterday Arkansas quarterback

1011
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 2: for those unfamiliar, twenty five of thirty five, three twenty

1012
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 2: six through the air.

1013
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 1: Three touchdowns. He wasn't done.

1014
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 2: Then on the ground he had eighty five yards and

1015
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,359
Speaker 2: another three touchdowns, so he had six by himself and

1016
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 2: they lost because Lane Kiffen and the ole Miss Rebels,

1017
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 2: as sure as they couldn't run it against Alabama, chugged

1018
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 2: for three hundred and twenty four on the ground yesterday,

1019
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 2: and that is ole Miss at their best. Yeah, they

1020
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 2: can throw the ball, but they run it. And when

1021
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 2: they are achieving at their highest level, that's what they're doing.

1022
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 2: They're running off chunk play after chunk play on you.

1023
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:56,720
Speaker 2: Ole Miss travels to Tennessee Saturday. It is a primetime game.

1024
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 2: We are going to be there and Ole miss is

1025
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 2: favored by three and a half on the road in

1026
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 2: Niland Stadium. Enjoy huge get for SEC network. I don't

1027
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 2: know how you guys pulled that huge get. Kentucky makes

1028
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 2: relatively easy work, in fact, suspiciously easy work of LSU

1029
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 2: forty two to twenty one. Now here's the good news.

1030
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 2: I am not wholly negative with LSU. They ran for

1031
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,240
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty seven yards yesterday, which for LSU

1032
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 2: is like running to Egypt.

1033
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:27,879
Speaker 1: That's the good news. The bad news is.

1034
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,720
Speaker 2: They gave up three hundred and thirty on the ground,

1035
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 2: and that is good for seven point three yards per

1036
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 2: carry for Kentucky. And if you're running it for seven

1037
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 2: point three yards per carrie, you don't really have to

1038
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 2: do a whole lot of other things. You can just

1039
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 2: keep doing that one thing that's working over and over

1040
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 2: for you. I think someone could probably stand to call

1041
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 2: Bill O'Brien at Alabama and tell them that when they

1042
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 2: get down in the red zone, couldn't they This is

1043
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 2: the first six and o start for Kentucky since nineteen fifty.

1044
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: What were you doing in nineteen fifty.

1045
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 2: Colin anyone, No, most of you weren't here first six

1046
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 2: and o start since nineteen fifty LSU lost Kishon Bute.

1047
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: We don't have an update on that.

1048
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 2: A lot of guys with varying degree of injury are

1049
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 2: probably going to start opting out of the season. For LSU,

1050
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 2: I'll leave that there. I think we all know what's

1051
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 2: going on with that. But I am not sure this

1052
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 2: changed anything. You're looking at the SEC standings. I mean

1053
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 2: for Kentucky now I'm talking about for LSU. For Kentucky

1054
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 2: it changes a lot. I mean, they're sitting there tied

1055
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 2: for first. You can call them second if you want to.

1056
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 2: They're tied for first, and we'll obviously solve that this

1057
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,800
Speaker 2: Saturday when they play in Athens against Georgia. But for LSU,

1058
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:35,359
Speaker 2: I think a lot of folks thought last night, well,

1059
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 2: if they lose, this is it.

1060
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 1: No, it was it before they lost.

1061
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 2: As we told you, if they would have won last night,

1062
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 2: it would have still been it got news for you.

1063
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 2: Having said that, there was some thought out there that

1064
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 2: if last night were to just totally go off the

1065
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,760
Speaker 2: rails and it was forty two to nothing at halftime,

1066
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 2: that maybe no, no, maybe Woodward and company, maybe they make

1067
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 2: a move down there. Well yeah, forty two to twenty

1068
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 2: one's nothing to write home about, but it could have

1069
00:46:58,239 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 2: been a lot worse.

1070
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: I guess it's the best thing we can say. So

1071
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: it doesn't look like keep refreshing my feed over here.

1072
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:07,240
Speaker 1: Doesn't look like anything's gonna happen with ed Oorzeron today.

1073
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 2: But I feel like that's fairly inevitable. I really do

1074
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 2: wonder I was talking with someone on the phone today.

1075
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:15,240
Speaker 2: I really do wonder how much support ed Oorzeron.

1076
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 1: Has at LSU behind the scenes. There's always someone.

1077
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 2: Now, it is an overwhelming supermajority down there that are

1078
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 2: rooting for. Again, what I think is inevitable at this point,

1079
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,919
Speaker 2: but there's always someone. I just wonder if there are

1080
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 2: and if there are, how many? And that's an open

1081
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 2: ended question anyone wants to answer.

1082
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:32,240
Speaker 1: Feel free.

1083
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 2: Also, Tennessee, I wanted to touch on them right quick.

1084
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 2: They beat South Carolina forty five to twenty. Tennessee is

1085
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 2: obliterating people in the first half over the last couple

1086
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:42,359
Speaker 2: of weeks.

1087
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: Listen to this number. I think it was Wes.

1088
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 2: Rutger that put this out on Valls twenty four seven.

1089
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 2: So Tennessee's played Missouri on the road and then South Carolina.

1090
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 2: Last couple of weeks, they have scored eighty three combined

1091
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker 2: first half points in those games, So that doesn't lead

1092
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 2: much to the imagination of what the rest of the

1093
00:47:57,719 --> 00:47:58,280
Speaker 2: game holds.

1094
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: Josh Heipel, to his credit, he's not in a breaking

1095
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: in period. He is not enough feeling out period. He's

1096
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: not easing his way into anything. Josh Haipel walked up

1097
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: to the birthday party and screamed, cannonball. And that's Tennessee

1098
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: right now.

1099
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 2: They are a full throttle and you may beat them

1100
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 2: sixty two to thirty five, but they're gonna hang thirty

1101
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 2: five on you. And the last couple of weeks spend

1102
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 2: the inverse, spend Tennessee pulling away. I want to ask

1103
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 2: you a question that we cannot answer right now. How

1104
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 2: do you think the SEC East stacks up behind Georgia?

1105
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 2: Do you think it's as simple as looking at the

1106
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 2: league's standings. Do you think Kentucky is the second best

1107
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 2: team in the East.

1108
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,399
Speaker 1: Do you think it's Florida. Well, I want to ask

1109
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:42,320
Speaker 1: you where does Tennessee rank let's power rate the SEC East?

1110
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 2: And not just now, but where will it be let's say,

1111
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 2: four weeks from now, because Tennessee's got a stretch coming up.

1112
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 2: They play ole Miss Saturday, they got to play on

1113
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 2: the road at Bama.

1114
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 1: Gotta do it every year.

1115
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 2: They go to Kentucky and they go against Georgia, so

1116
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 2: they got some tough games coming up. But I'm fascinated

1117
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 2: by that game at Kentucky. I think Tennessee could end

1118
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 2: up being the third best team in the East. I

1119
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:05,919
Speaker 2: don't know what Florida is going to do the rest

1120
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 2: of the way, but Florida already played Kentucky and made

1121
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 2: easy work up or it played played Tennessee and made

1122
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:13,959
Speaker 2: easy work of them. So I am very interested whether

1123
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 2: this is a new gear being hit by Tennessee or

1124
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 2: whether it's just them getting fat on inferior competition. We'll

1125
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 2: see at least to some degree Saturday against ole Miss.

1126
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 2: So that's a little trip around the SEC. But obviously

1127
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 2: outside the SEC, there were some big games yesterday in

1128
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 2: addition to what we've already talked about. How about Michigan

1129
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 2: this thirty two to twenty nine win in Lincoln, Nebraska,

1130
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,760
Speaker 2: which was on someone's radar and off someone's radar, depends

1131
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 2: on who you are, but it's a brutal loss for Nebraska,

1132
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 2: They've come a long way. I really think this since

1133
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 2: week one, this is a much better team than we saw.

1134
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: Lows to Illinois.

1135
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 2: Their past three losses to Oklahoma, Michigan State, and Michigan.

1136
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: Have come by a combined thirteen points. That is brutal.

1137
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 2: You feel like the whole so close yet so far

1138
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 2: away deal. But that's a credit to Scott Frost. Depending

1139
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 2: on your stature, you don't always have to win to

1140
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 2: show improvement. They have showed improvement in losses, significant improvement.

1141
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,800
Speaker 2: I would say Michigan faced some new things here yesterday.

1142
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 2: To talk about the winning team for a second, they

1143
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:20,840
Speaker 2: had not trailed, and they had not thrown an interception

1144
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,959
Speaker 2: like they did some things at the least opportune time

1145
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 2: in front of like eighty seven thousand fans yesterday that.

1146
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: Made it really difficult to operate.

1147
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 2: They did some things, Nebraska did some things offensively, but

1148
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 2: Michigan still overcame it. I think Harball said something postgame

1149
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 2: like we would just not be denied.

1150
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: Well good. Good sounds a little cliche, but good, because

1151
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 1: that's exactly what it should be. For Michigan. It's an

1152
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 1: excellent night for the defensive line. Last night.

1153
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 2: Also, I think their offense is rounding into a little

1154
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 2: bit more balanced version that could pay better dividends for

1155
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 2: you down the road. That formula they were using earlier

1156
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 2: in the season was gonna end up hitting a brick wall,

1157
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 2: and so Caine mackmera, they made some plays.

1158
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 1: Yesterday and it's really good. So now they have a

1159
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:04,919
Speaker 1: secondary pitch they can use.

1160
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 2: So Michigan wins thirty two to twenty nine, and it

1161
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 2: continues to set up what at this point looked like

1162
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 2: almost inevitable Titanic.

1163
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 1: Showdowns down the road.

1164
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about Michigan State in a second,

1165
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 2: but I mean we're getting closer and closer to a

1166
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 2: world where those two meet undefeated. That's only a couple

1167
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 2: of weeks away. I think October thirtieth is when they play.

1168
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 2: There's a game off the radar here. I got to

1169
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 2: talk about it for a couple of minutes. You know,

1170
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:32,399
Speaker 2: Florida State beat North Carolina by double digits yesterday. Say

1171
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 2: that five times fast, and then call yourself in August

1172
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 2: and tell your August self that five times fast. North

1173
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 2: Carolina goes down thirty five to twenty five at the

1174
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 2: hands of Florida state.

1175
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of North Carolina.

1176
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:47,360
Speaker 2: That's got to be the most disappointing team in the country,

1177
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 2: and they haven't lost their starting quarterback for the year

1178
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 2: or anything like that.

1179
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: That's that would be one explainer.

1180
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 2: Matt Brown after their game yesterday, he said paraphrasing, of course,

1181
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 2: he said something to the degree of, well, I guess

1182
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 2: this shows that all of the preseason predictions and pundits

1183
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 2: you guys blew it, which is true.

1184
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 1: That's my line.

1185
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 2: I use it all the time, So shame on mac

1186
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:12,720
Speaker 2: Brown for stealing my line. One of my pet peeves

1187
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 2: is everyone gets to issue rankings and then when the

1188
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 2: teams don't live up to your rankings, you get to

1189
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:21,359
Speaker 2: call them overrated even though you did the rating. Well,

1190
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 2: Mac Brown took that tone yesterday. Here's the problem. I

1191
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 2: obviously they were overrated. I think people had reason to

1192
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 2: rate North Carolina high. They didn't put him top five,

1193
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 2: But then you had twenty one starters coming back from

1194
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 2: a team that went to the Orange Bowl last year,

1195
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 2: including a future NFL quarterback, or at least that's what

1196
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 2: he was sold to us, as in Sam Howell.

1197
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 1: And they're not asking you to go beat Clemson Mac.

1198
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 1: I mean we're talking about Georgia Tech.

1199
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 2: We're talking about yesterday Florida State, which it's not.

1200
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:52,920
Speaker 1: I don't think that's.

1201
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 2: A herculean task to expect this team to be able

1202
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 2: to accomplish, and yet they fallen short. Florida State went

1203
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 2: on a thirty five to seven run this game. The

1204
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 2: Florida State Seminoles went on a thirty five to seven

1205
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 2: run to close it out. Mike Norvell, I'm gonna give

1206
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 2: him credit. I know he's got his doubters and detractors.

1207
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 2: I think he's very realistic about where they are behind

1208
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 2: the scenes, but out in front too, I think he's

1209
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:19,840
Speaker 2: very realistic. He has not come down there and preached

1210
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 2: we're about to win a title. He's preached the fundamentals

1211
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 2: and he's preached the principles that a successful championship team

1212
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 2: is built on.

1213
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 1: But those things are still being installed and instilled.

1214
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 2: I think that's the reason that a lot of folks

1215
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 2: down there have been willing to give him some space.

1216
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 2: Maybe the message boards don't, maybe talk radio doesn't, but

1217
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 2: I think the people.

1218
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 1: Who matter have taken a healthy inventory and listened to

1219
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 1: his inventory.

1220
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 2: And when he tells him. It's gonna take a couple

1221
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 2: of years. They're gonna give him a couple of years.

1222
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 2: So all that talk in the preseason about well what

1223
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 2: if it really bottoms out, is there a point of

1224
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 2: no return?

1225
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 1: No, not this year. There's not. Down the road there

1226
00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 1: will be. But good for Mike Norvell. The message has

1227
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 1: been consistent.

1228
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 2: Now, I'll say this, a lot of people know the

1229
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 2: right things to say. Can you put into practice one

1230
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 2: to eighty five what you preach?

1231
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:12,839
Speaker 1: That's the hard part.

1232
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:14,840
Speaker 2: The hard part is putting that in the minds of

1233
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:15,760
Speaker 2: a bunch of other people.

1234
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:17,240
Speaker 1: I hope he can.

1235
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,879
Speaker 2: Remains to be seen, but at the very least, big

1236
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 2: credit because this is again it's a team that can

1237
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 2: lie down and they're not doing that, and in fact,

1238
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 2: the team that has no business doing it. North Carolina's

1239
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 2: kind of doing it a little bit more than Florida State.

1240
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 2: Is so good for Mike Norvel, good for Florida State.

1241
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 2: Notre Dame won another game by a field goal thirty

1242
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 2: two to twenty nine. They go into Virginia Tech and

1243
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 2: credit Notre Dame because this was not an easy bounce

1244
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 2: back for them either. But they beat the Hokies thirty

1245
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 2: two to twenty nine. The direct quote from Brian Kelly

1246
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 2: after this game was, we're stringing this together as best

1247
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 2: we can, which is not exactly something that leaves me

1248
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 2: brimming with confidence about the rest of the season.

1249
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: But listen, these wins you cannot take them away.

1250
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 2: And they've had several games like this now you can't

1251
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 2: take wins away. So congratulations. Because I don't know if

1252
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:05,439
Speaker 2: you guys missed it. Some of you probably did because

1253
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,840
Speaker 2: of all the other craziness going on. That place was

1254
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 2: on fire last night. Lane Stadium was on fire. When

1255
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 2: Notre Dame comes in there, you don't get many cracks

1256
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:15,839
Speaker 2: at them and you're building, so everyone circles that one.

1257
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 1: So it was it was wild, and they played multiple quarterbacks.

1258
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 2: I mean, Jack Cone starts the game, then he gets

1259
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 2: benched for Tyler Buckner, who's probably the future of Notre Dame,

1260
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 2: is a true freshman, and then Butckner needs to be

1261
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 2: relieved and Jack Cone comes back in and all he

1262
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 2: did was win the game for him. And afterwards Brian

1263
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 2: Kelly issues the aforementioned quote of what we're stringing this

1264
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 2: together as best we can. Look, they're squeezing everything they

1265
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 2: can out of this year's team, and credit to him

1266
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 2: for doing it. This is not a team that is

1267
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 2: quite to the caliber of the last couple that they've had.

1268
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:47,839
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what this does do, because they

1269
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,439
Speaker 2: played a whole bunch of young kids yesterday. They did

1270
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 2: what Maam was about to have to do, I think,

1271
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 2: to maximize their potential. They played some of their young kids,

1272
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 2: and Tyler Buttner at quarterback.

1273
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 1: Was among them.

1274
00:55:58,000 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 2: And so, yeah, you get whatever you can out of

1275
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,359
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, but I guarantee you there's gonna come

1276
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 2: a week in twenty twenty two where you're watching it.

1277
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:08,320
Speaker 2: Those same young kids that got their feet wet yesterday

1278
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:11,239
Speaker 2: and an extremely hard place to play are gonna be

1279
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,840
Speaker 2: making plays for you next year on a more consistent basis.

1280
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:16,720
Speaker 1: And you're gonna say, man, I'm glad they got snaps

1281
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 1: last year. Man, I'm glad they got their feet wet

1282
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 1: last year.

1283
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 2: Man, I'm glad we're not having to break him and

1284
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 2: him in this year. It'll pay it'll pay itself off

1285
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 2: down the road. But this was a good win for them.

1286
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 2: Michigan State won again and in whatn't as close as

1287
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 2: that point spread indicated it would be Michigan State was

1288
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,879
Speaker 2: favored by about five to six points over Rutgers. They

1289
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,720
Speaker 2: won thirty one to thirteen. It's time to start taking

1290
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 2: them a little bit more seriously if you haven't been already.

1291
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:45,399
Speaker 2: They're still undefeated. But here's why you need to start

1292
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 2: taking them a little more seriously. Let me give you

1293
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:52,279
Speaker 2: an example. So Jalen Naylor yesterday had five receptions for

1294
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 2: two hundred and twenty one yards. Obviously, that's a pretty

1295
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:58,239
Speaker 2: good average per catch. He had three touchdowns. He had

1296
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,880
Speaker 2: three touchdown grabs of sixty three, sixty three, and sixty

1297
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 2: five yards, and Michigan State didn't stop there. This was,

1298
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:11,320
Speaker 2: according to the AP, the fifth time in FBS history

1299
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 2: that a team had three hundred yards passing, a two

1300
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 2: hundred yard rusher and a two hundred yard individual receiver.

1301
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 2: What I'm telling you is Michigan State is not clunking

1302
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 2: their way to close wins. They've got explosive play potential.

1303
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 2: Some of these guys are transfers. There was no program

1304
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 2: in major college football that went harder in the transfer market,

1305
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 2: or at least there were few that went as hard as.

1306
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 1: Michigan State did this past year. Because they weren't building

1307
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 1: for five years down the road, Miltucker wanted to win.

1308
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 2: Now they're winning now. And what it does is it

1309
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 2: widens their margin for error. Like Michigan State right now,

1310
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 2: they don't have to go in and play Razor tight

1311
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 2: every time or else they'll lose, you know, twenty one

1312
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 2: to nineteen.

1313
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: You make plays like they can.

1314
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker one of the best backs in the sport

1315
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 2: right now. Naylor like guys like that. I don't think

1316
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 2: a lot of America knows about quite yet. You may

1317
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 2: know about Kenneth Walker, but I don't think a lot

1318
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 2: of people know. Michigan State is starting to develop that

1319
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 2: explosive play potential that's.

1320
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 1: Going to be big. Right now.

1321
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 2: They've got a dangerous game this week. Okay, so I

1322
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 2: want you to get ready for this. Indiana is a

1323
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 2: team you've already sold down the river and you've sold

1324
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 2: all your stock in Indiana. Well, Indiana, what they do yesterday? Anyone, remember,

1325
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 2: they didn't do anything. They went home to see mom.

1326
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 2: They were off, They had a buye.

1327
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 1: Whatever you see from Indiana this Saturday.

1328
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,439
Speaker 2: Will probably be the game of the year performance from them,

1329
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 2: and Michigan State is going to their house.

1330
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 1: The spread is three and a half. And here's the kicker.

1331
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 1: This is the last game.

1332
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 2: Before Michigan plays or Michigan State plays in Michigan, and

1333
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 2: everyone knows it. Indiana knows it too, So just have

1334
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 2: a little eye on that game. Our model screaming Indiana.

1335
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 2: It thinks Indiana is going to win the game out right.

1336
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 1: Spoiler alert. So it's dangerous.

1337
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 2: But again, you got some explosive play potential about yourself,

1338
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 2: Minkle Pennix, who knows what its status is with Indiana,

1339
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 2: you can win every game you play well to a

1340
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 2: certain extent, You're going to give yourself a lot better

1341
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 2: opportunity to do it.

1342
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 1: All right, let's get a best bet out there.

1343
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:15,920
Speaker 2: I've been advised by someone who shall remain nameless to

1344
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:17,440
Speaker 2: just leave the PAC twelve alone.

1345
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 1: The PAC twelve is.

1346
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 2: The most unpredictable conference in America this year. Yeah it

1347
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 2: may be, but look, numbers are numbers. And so there's

1348
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 2: a game I just.

1349
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 1: Mentioned Indiana, but I'm not moving on them yet. There's

1350
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 1: a game that we love. It's our early best bet

1351
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 1: and it is Arizona plus five and a half. There

1352
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 1: are sixes out there right now too. But when I

1353
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:36,080
Speaker 1: handed it out to be.

1354
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:38,880
Speaker 2: Fair earlier, I said five and a half, So our

1355
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 2: first best bet on the Ramannudle Express for this week

1356
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 2: is Arizona plus five and a half. They're on the

1357
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 2: road at Colorado, and again, if you're waiting until tonight

1358
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 2: to move on that, it actually is out there at

1359
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 2: six at some places. So that's where we are. I

1360
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 2: think we're going to have some serious movement before Tuesday,

1361
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 2: so be sure you're following the Twitter and Instagram at

1362
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 2: late kick, Josh, I gotta tell you something.

1363
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 1: So that's me. I'm done with the show now, I

1364
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 1: gotta tell you something.

1365
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell the entire story Tuesday. This weekend was

1366
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 2: both one of the greatest weekends in college football that

1367
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 2: I've experienced and one of the worst weekends in terms

1368
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 2: of travel. I could not get a rental car because

1369
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 2: Dallas was out the entire city of Dallas. It might

1370
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:26,440
Speaker 2: as well be an island you can't get off of

1371
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 2: right now. I know people who are still stuck there.

1372
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 2: So there are no rental cars in Dallas. Oh well

1373
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 2: Man has faced tougher challenges. So I flew into Austin,

1374
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 2: beautiful city, right. So I flew in Friday and I'm

1375
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 2: gonna drive up to Dallas Friday night, like this is fine, Colin, right.

1376
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 2: So there I am puttering along a little bit faster

1377
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 2: than I should have been going, but certainly within the

1378
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 2: realm of what those cars can handle.

1379
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:54,439
Speaker 1: And there goes the entire side wall of my tire.

1380
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 1: When I say the tire blue, I do not mean

1381
01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 1: I ran over a nail.

1382
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 2: I mean the the higher side wall of the tire blue,

1383
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 2: to the point where there's a whole big enough in

1384
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 2: it you can stick your arm in. And I don't

1385
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 2: even care how much you work out, your arm would

1386
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:09,439
Speaker 2: go in the hole on the side of that tire.

1387
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 2: I am on I thirty five north. It is Waco, Texas.

1388
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 2: It is the middle of the night, and there's not

1389
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 2: a light to be found. I don't know if you

1390
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 2: know this about Waco, but it gets really dark there

1391
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 2: at night, suspiciously dark, I would say, darker maybe than

1392
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:26,120
Speaker 2: it should have been. And so there I am. I

1393
01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 2: got a suitcase on the side of my thirty five.

1394
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 2: The eye Josh is propped up on the suitcase with

1395
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 2: the flashlight on, and I am changing a rental car tire.

1396
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 2: Now I got lucky because there was a spare tire

1397
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 2: in the rental car a lot of times. As you

1398
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 2: guys know who travel a lot, they don't normally have

1399
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 2: rentals with spare tires. So I get it changed, but

1400
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 2: I didn't end up having it the worst because, as

1401
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 2: I told you, Southwest has like a quarter to half

1402
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 2: of its flights canceled right now. So last night, I

1403
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 2: am in the Southwest terminal at Dallas Love There are

1404
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 2: like two people in the security line to get in

1405
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 2: the airport. It was a ghost town. It was very

1406
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 2: weird because it's easy to get in. I go in

1407
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 2: like two seconds. But then you get in the terminal.

1408
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 1: And it's wall to wall.

1409
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 2: There are people in there that are asleep on the ground,

1410
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 2: and I figure, I didn't see any thunderstorms.

1411
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 1: Maybe there's bad weather somewhere. No, no bad weather.

1412
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 2: There are some extenuating circumstances. And that's as far as

1413
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 2: I'll go because someone's going to politicize this. But there's

1414
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:24,360
Speaker 2: some things happening in the aviation world right now that

1415
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:25,840
Speaker 2: have caused a lot of people to.

1416
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: Not show up for work.

1417
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 2: There were two flights that got out of that place

1418
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 2: last night. One of them went to New Orleans and

1419
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 2: the other one came to Nashville, Tennessee, and so I

1420
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 2: waved goodbye as I took off from Dallas to several

1421
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 2: people I know still there as we speak tonight, they're

1422
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 2: still there. Won't get out of there, at least until tomorrow.

1423
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 2: I talked to a couple who deserve a ton of praise.

1424
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 2: Number one cause they're getting married on a Sunday in

1425
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:53,919
Speaker 2: the fall. And number two, they were at serious risk

1426
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 2: of not making it to their own wedding, and so

1427
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 2: I hope they made it. Just talking to the guy

1428
01:02:58,120 --> 01:02:59,560
Speaker 2: and the girl last night, I hope they made it

1429
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 2: either way. Bless you for not scheduling a Saturday wedding.

1430
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 2: Can you imagine there are people out there suffering, guys,

1431
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 2: And by suffering, I mean there were people at weddings

1432
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 2: yesterday when all.

1433
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 1: This stuff is going on in college football.

1434
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 2: So if you got to witness it, consider yourself among

1435
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 2: the blessed and the wives, maybe not in that order.

1436
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for watching. Make sure you're following

1437
