1
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: You see, before we gamble on the kids, we must

2
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: first warn the kids not to gamble. This is the

3
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: way of the world. We are jamm backed. I taught

4
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 1: a disastrous downtown Nashville, Tennessee. It is Sunday night, May seventh,

5
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: the year of our Lord, twenty twenty three. Why disastrous?

6
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: I will explain momentarily, but first I need to let

7
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,959
Speaker 1: you know what's on the show tonight. Happy to have

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: you with us. We've got gambling controversy now, fortunately for

9
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,959
Speaker 1: us for the time being, it's way over there in baseball,

10
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: but it could creep over here into college football. How

11
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: do we prevent these measures or how do we take

12
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: measures to prevent it? We will talk about it tonight.

13
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: I've got some wind totals, because what would warning you

14
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: about gambling be without then telling you what to gamble on.

15
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: I got some wind totals. I got four of them

16
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: actually that I like. I have got a deep dive

17
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: into the acc tonight that I think will what your

18
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: appetite quite nicely. As we draw ever closer to the

19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: kickoff of the twenty twenty three season transfer portal, I

20
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: think it's finally time for us to talk about some

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: winners because we've come through transfer Portal Intel season. Now

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: it's just time to talk about who got the job done,

23
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: who acquired the pieces that maybe address the needs that

24
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: they had. There are several teams I got LSU Mood

25
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: Tracker tonight. I need to tell some things about Auburn two.

26
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: But all that with them watching us in Kingston, Tennessee, Grove, Oklahoma, Monasty, France. Yeah,

27
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,919
Speaker 1: they're tuned in tonight. And also they're tuned in in Commerce, Texas.

28
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: And I want to give a special about ten second

29
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: shout out Nate in Commerce, Texas. I hate that I

30
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: missed it. Happy belated birthday. I know a few things.

31
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: I know you are paint State material. I know you

32
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: have purchased things from the pet State store. And I

33
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: know you denied your wife a fall wedding, and she

34
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: loves you anyway, therefore I do too. Happy birthday. My friend,

35
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: I said, it's disaster in Nashville tonight. Not in here.

36
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: It's great in here, but friends, friends, just across the

37
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: Cumberland River right outside our window, our seventy thousand people

38
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: just huddled in tunnels at Nissan Stadium because and I

39
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: kid you not, it has rained as hard as it

40
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: has ever rained in the history of humanity. Downtown over

41
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: the last hour and a half, they got a Taylor

42
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: Swift concert about to go down just across the river.

43
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: Our parking garage has been inundated, and it's not a

44
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: happy scene over there. Now you may think to yourself, Oh,

45
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: what would you guys know about that you sit there

46
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: and broadcast from your cozy studio. How could you have

47
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,399
Speaker 1: empathy for Taylor Swift and her minions over there? Well,

48
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: I'll tell you how, Colin. Could we go back to

49
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: the day after the National Championship game when we had

50
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: our show outdoors last there we are right across the

51
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: river or the lake if it will, from Sofi Stadium,

52
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: and we had a gale come upon us, just a

53
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: good old fashion Pacific gale. And if you're listening on podcasts,

54
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: there's Gelbie trying to hold the fort down. We've got

55
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: concrete anchorings, but they are doing not much good. And

56
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: our tent eventually blew away into whatever that man made

57
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,119
Speaker 1: lake is called. And we had to last minute take

58
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: our live show the day after the National Championship Game,

59
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: and we had to retreat to the media hotel. So

60
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift. I know what you're going through over there

61
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: right now. You just got to hang in there, Just

62
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: hang in there a little longer, hold on for one

63
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: more day, as Wilson Phillips probably want saying, not in

64
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: Nissan Stadium. Okay, let's dive into the show tonight. Oh boy, No,

65
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: but you hear that. You hear the faint echo out there.

66
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: There's scandal. We've got gambling scandal. Now, its is not

67
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: a college baseball show, but I think a lot of

68
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: you are aware of the college baseball scandal that has

69
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: rocked the sport. I don't know if it's rocked the sport.

70
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: It was a big deal though. So Alabama's head baseball

71
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: coach got fired after a very brief investigation to a

72
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: lot of impropriety that was set off by a gambling

73
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: monitor realizing some very very strange bets were being placed

74
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: on Alabama baseball led to that investigation, which led to

75
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: his firing. So that's been in the news. Everyone I

76
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: think is aware of that to some degree. That's about

77
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: as far down that road as I'm going to go

78
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: because I want to now talk to you about college football,

79
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: because I think the first question on everyone's mind is Ooh,

80
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: I wonder what he did. But then the second question,

81
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of curiosity about this whole thing

82
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: about sports being fixed, about games being rigged, is why

83
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: I wonder if that goes on in college football. Now.

84
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've talked about this on air.

85
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: It's not the kind of segment we would just up

86
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: and do spontaneously, but now we have a reason for it.

87
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: Let me give you my take on this. In the

88
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: most well orchestrated sports gambling legalization rollout that could have

89
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: ever been executed, this would have happened. One hundred and

90
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: ten percent chance this was going to happen somewhere. It

91
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: might as well be college baseball instead of like a

92
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: playoff game or something like that in college football. But

93
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,239
Speaker 1: it was always going to happen. Where did this stuff

94
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: all come from all of a sudden? You know, if

95
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: you don't bet, and we don't flood our show with it,

96
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: But if you don't bet, you may be asking yourself, Hey,

97
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: why in the world am I all of a sudden

98
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: seeing sports betting legalized everywhere? How come everyone's all of

99
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: a sudden doing this? Well, it's because of the twenty

100
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: eighteen overhaul or overturn of the federal ban on sports betting.

101
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: I mean, that's pretty much the way of it. And

102
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: then thirty three states so far have legalized it. We'll

103
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: probably be looking at north of forty over the next

104
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,239
Speaker 1: two years. Shockingly, my home state of Georgia has drugged

105
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: their feet on this. And I say shockingly because Georgia

106
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: has long been known for two things peaches, pecons three things,

107
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: and people driving across the chat to whoch you River

108
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: to buy lottery tickets. But for some reason we don't

109
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: have sports betting there. See? Does I digress? How will

110
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: college football react to this? It was always going to

111
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: happen somewhere. Is it a crisis? No, it is not.

112
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: It's probably a good thing, actually, But it's something I'll

113
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: explain to you in a second. How would college football

114
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: react to this? In many ways, college football already has reacted,

115
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: you just don't know it. I think a lot more

116
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: has come to light about the preventative practices that college

117
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: football takes. Right now, because I want you to visualize

118
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: this for a second, I want you to visualize Clemson

119
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: plays Florida State Week four this year, and the outcome

120
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: is what it is. And then the following Tuesday, we've

121
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: got massive, wall to wall breaking news that there were

122
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: betting irregularities and the outcome of the game may have

123
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: been shall I say, impacted in a nefarious manner. You're

124
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: talking about overnight, destroying the integrity of your sport. People

125
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: understand how how serious this is, Okay, people who run

126
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: the show, for all their faults in some cases, they

127
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: full well understand the seriousness of this. Preventative measures were

128
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: taken long before you opened your newspaper, clicked on a

129
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: website or pulled up Twitter and saw ooh, Alabama's baseball

130
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: coach got fired. It's just that now light is being

131
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: shed on it a little bit. So the partnership, for example,

132
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: with US Integrity, which is a betting monitor that is

133
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: paid to run data analytics and spot irregularities in this stuff.

134
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,679
Speaker 1: I've seen them in the news a lot. This week.

135
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: Chris Fanini over at The Athletic did a full feature

136
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: where he had a lot of people on the record

137
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: is talking about what they do. And all these people

138
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: do is they monitor betting patterns, and especially when it's

139
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: on something as low profile as college baseball, they're going

140
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: to notice immediately, like I'm stunned. People are dumb enough

141
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: to do that. Stunned, but they are so even in

142
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: college football, they know that you don't. You rarely ever

143
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: hear about it. I've heard about two or three instances.

144
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: One of them was an NBA game a few years ago.

145
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: Like I got wind of it. It's not something I'm

146
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: going to talk about publicly because I don't cover the NBA.

147
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: These people are experts at spotting this stuff, and then

148
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: what they do is they will alert the state where

149
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: the bets are being placed, and they'll alert the corresponding league,

150
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: the SEC for example, or or the NBA. They will

151
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: all have contracts with US integrity and that's the way

152
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: that works. And nine to nine times out of one hundred,

153
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: it's going to be handled behind closed doors. People sometimes

154
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: go to federal prison and it's never front page news.

155
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: Why because lobbyists make sure that that stuff stays off

156
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: the front page. For good reason, because even the slightest

157
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: whiff of a headline of someone going to federal prison

158
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: because of what they may have done on a Celtics

159
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: game or on a Florida State Seminoles football game would

160
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: be disastrous. So they have taken preventative measures. The fact

161
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: that this thing got picked up so quickly is evidence

162
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: the system works. The fact that you hardly ever hear

163
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: about it, and even when I'm telling you, they keep

164
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: it off the radar, I'm saying, that's rare. The fact

165
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: that it's rare is a good thing. It's a very

166
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: good thing. But here's what was always coming our way.

167
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: Two things were always coming our way. Number One, a

168
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: high profile incident like this was always coming our way

169
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: because it's impossible for you to infuse sports betting into

170
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: the mainstream and to have everyone operate with a halo

171
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: over their head. So it was always going to happen.

172
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: Regulators knew this, Conference officials knew this, League officials knew this,

173
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: and so what they all knew is, we don't know where,

174
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: we don't know when, but we do know that it

175
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: will happen when it happens, and it just so happens

176
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: it was the Alabama baseball coach. We've got to make

177
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: a glaring example out of that person, and that's why

178
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: him losing his job up there's probably the least of

179
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: his worries because an example does have to be made.

180
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: You got to have a scalp. You got to have

181
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: something to point to and say, don't turn into him,

182
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: and that's going to be the Alabama baseball coach in

183
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: all likelihood. The second thing that I have long suspected

184
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: and I think will result from this is college football

185
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: trying to stay out front of everything. Will include them

186
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: forcing leagues and forcing teams to publicize injury reports. The

187
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: NFL's done this for a long time. I think college

188
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: football will end up doing this because really, what we're

189
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: talking about at the heart of this Alabama baseball scandal

190
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: is a guy giving someone a heads up that his

191
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: starting pitcher was going to be scratched before the public

192
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 1: knew about it. Well, that is the sports betting equivalent

193
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: of insider trading. It's a big no note. It's more

194
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: than just a risk slap, I can assure you of that. Well,

195
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: college football opens itself up to this voluntarily because leagues

196
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: do not mandate that teams make injury reports public. The

197
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: NFL's done it for a long time. Why just stay

198
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: out ahead of something like this? And so there's this

199
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 1: little cottage industry right now of people being team insiders

200
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: and having the inside word on whether the left guard

201
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: practice this week because practices are closed to the public. Hey,

202
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: if you're entering into billion dollar media rights deals, and

203
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: you're entering into deals with sports books, if you are

204
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: in bed with the very entities with which your fans

205
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: place wagers on your games, you're gonna have to suck

206
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: it up. You're gonna have to change those rules or

207
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: else you just make yourself totally vulnerable to this sort

208
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: of thing. And it's preventable. Part of that is preventable.

209
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: But there's this other world that I want to address

210
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: for a second. You see it all the time. Anytime

211
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: something happens in a game that you didn't expect, anytime

212
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: something happens in a game that's not in total accordance

213
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: with the way it was supposed to go, you can

214
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: pull this thing up. You don't have an eye, Josh,

215
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: because they're not available to the public, but you may

216
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: have an iPhone. You pull up your iPhone, you pull

217
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: up your social feeds, or maybe just your text to buddies.

218
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: And what are people saying, I told you it was rigged,

219
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: I told you it was fixed. What's your proof. Well,

220
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: I don't agree with what just happened. I can't believe

221
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: what just happened. I do want to let you know something.

222
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: I will go immunity ahead of time. I'll go as

223
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: deep as I can on this. I don't think people

224
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: have the slightest clue how you fix sporting events. Nine

225
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: to nine percent of people who talk about fixing sporting

226
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: events do not have the slightest clue how you do

227
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: it. It takes an elite level of idiocy to fix a

228
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: sporting event by changing the outcome in terms of win

229
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: loss of the sporting event. Only a complete moron would

230
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: do that. In today's derivative based betting world, and all

231
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: that means is you can bet on a ton of

232
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: stuff inside the game. You can bet on parts of

233
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: the game, like the over under in the second quarter,

234
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: for example, You can bet on that stuff. You can

235
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: bet on the tight end having over under three and

236
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: a half catches. If you could wager on that and

237
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: minus one to ten returns the same thing. It returns

238
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: whether you bet an over tight end prop or you

239
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: bet Notre Dame minus three to win the game, it

240
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: returns what it returns. It doesn't matter how high a

241
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: profile the thing you're wagering on is. You're just looking

242
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: for a return, right well, it stands to reason if

243
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: you wanted to fix something, do you want if you

244
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: go fix a basketball game, you don't tell the point

245
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: guard to throw the game. You just tell him I'm

246
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: taking the first half under dude, could you milk the

247
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: shot clock an average of three and a half seconds

248
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: deeper per possession? And that'll give me instead of a

249
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 1: fifty two percent probability of winning, it'll give me a

250
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: sixty eight percent probability of winning. That's all I need

251
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: from you. This is how you fix games. Okay, So

252
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: anyone out there who looks at this Alabama baseball thing,

253
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: or if you look at any other thing that seems

254
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: a little suspicious to that, I knew that entire league

255
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: was fixed. I knew that game was fixed. No you didn't,

256
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: because no it wasn't. Because that's not how people who

257
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: have the slightest clue what they're doing actually go about

258
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: fixing things, or if you even want to call it fixing,

259
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: maybe just maybe just slightly affecting things, maybe a little

260
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: light cheating there, not wholesale cheating, just a little light cheating.

261
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: So this whole Alabama baseball thing, it's bad in the moment,

262
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: it'll be good overall, and it is evidence that the

263
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: system works. So for those of you who are worried

264
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: about college football and the future of it, college football's

265
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: future may have nine to nine problems, but I don't

266
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: think game fixing is one of them. Next up, let's

267
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: talk about things that are actually happening, things that we

268
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: can actually look at this fall. On the field, the

269
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: Transfer Portal's window for the spring has closed. There are

270
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: still a few players out there, and we will update accordingly.

271
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: We've got just some shocking headlines, by the way, just

272
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: in the last few hours, some headlines that truthfully, even

273
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: I don't believe paper poppers, every single one of them.

274
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: So the first thing and the first winner that I

275
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: want to talk to you about is the number two

276
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: team overall in the twenty four seven Sports Transfer Portal rankings,

277
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: and that is USC. As long as Lincoln Riley's there,

278
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: they look to be a permanent fixture, redundant in this

279
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: kind of segment. They reloaded big time. They were already

280
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: top fifteen in terms of returning production, so they already

281
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: had a lot of big time pieces coming back. Of course,

282
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: they've got the Heisman Trophy winter coming back at quarterback.

283
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: They added Dorian Singer. He was the Pac twelve's leading

284
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: receiver last year from Arizona. They added Marshawn Lloyd, a

285
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: running back from South Carolina who probably still hasn't fulfilled

286
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: his events. Potentially he's had some injuries in the past

287
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: two They add a three offensive linemen. Uh. They added

288
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: big time depth in the front. They got three edge guys,

289
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: a couple of linebackers, a couple of defensive linemen. They

290
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: got bar Alexander from the Portal out of Georgia. So

291
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: Southern cal Yes did exactly what you would expect them

292
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: to do. Is probably going to be a hallmark under

293
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley. Now you, in the words of Vince McMahon,

294
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: you want shocking tonight, You'll get shocking. I guarantee it. Jesse,

295
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: which WrestleMania was that from three two once seventeen, Come on, man, Arkansas.

296
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: When we last spoke, when you and I last talked,

297
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: Arkansas was reeling because they had watched Varkey's Gums the

298
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: tight End a fixture on this show. At this point.

299
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: Transfer from North Texas to Arkansas, remember this, So let's

300
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: just talk about this timeline. He goes in the portal

301
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: from North Texas after having a great season last year,

302
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: and then tight end Varqui's Gums commits to Arkansas for

303
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: eleven days and then he goes back in the portal

304
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: and that's where we left off. Since then, friends, Barquis

305
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: Gums has come out of the portal back to Arkansas.

306
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: So we have one of those classic portal recommitments that

307
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: we used to read so much about. Right, so listen,

308
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: he can't go back in because the portal windows close,

309
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: So at least for the next few minutes, we know

310
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: Varquis Gums is a really talented player and he's tentatively

311
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: going to place residence in Fayetville, Arkansas over the next year. Now,

312
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: they also needed defensive pieces there at Arkansas. So they

313
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: got the big tight end there, but they also needed

314
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: defensive pieces. They got Jeem Thomas linebacker from Cincinnati, a

315
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: bunch of Jahems here. They got Jeems Singletary the corner

316
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: from Georgia. They saw jahem walk out the door. By

317
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: the way, Anthony Booker's aour star defensive lineman from Mary

318
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: And they were bad defensively last year. I don't think

319
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: I need to tell anyone that. So Arkansas's a winner here.

320
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: Arkansas got a lot of portal help. And you know

321
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: who else they got. They got Isaac Tesla. Lest we

322
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: forget he was there for the spring. That's the wide

323
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: receiver from Hillsdale College. That's the out of nowhere impact player.

324
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 1: That is a guy that we have circled long before

325
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: anyone else. We have planted the lake kick flag in

326
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: the stock of Isaac Tesla, so we're counting on him now. Colorado,

327
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm not going to spend a lot of time on

328
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 1: because we have talked about them a lot. They've got

329
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,479
Speaker 1: the number one overall rated portal class. Obviously they're a winner.

330
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: What does the survey say here? What are the final numbers? Well,

331
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: they're not final yet because Dion and Colorado could still

332
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: take more players out of the portal. They just can't

333
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: see anymore go in. Okay, So Jesse, fifty six is correct? Right,

334
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: So as of Sunday, as of right now, it's seven

335
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 1: seventeen Central time. As I am saying this, Jesse comes

336
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: in my ear and says, no, that number is wrong.

337
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: They just added more guy. Oh the perils of live

338
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: broadcasting in the portal era. So ignore the fifty six

339
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: on the screen. Colorado now has fifty seven portal losses.

340
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: I will get back to that number in a second.

341
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: I know some of you take great umbrage with me

342
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: on how I discuss this. I'm giving you the facts.

343
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: I'll contextualize them in a second. Fifty seven of Colorado's

344
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: players have gone in the portal. They've gotten thirty eight

345
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 1: or the screen in front of me says forty two.

346
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: Is I got forty two out of the portal. Number

347
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: one player overall, Travis Hunter. Obviously they added him across

348
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: the board just pretty much plug and play, and they

349
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: probably wanted to get their entire two deep out of

350
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: the portal. How do we interpret that number, the fifty

351
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 1: seven number, because as sure as I've talked about this,

352
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: I've gone to the comment section and a lot of

353
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: you have been angry with me because you think I

354
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: owe it every single time we discuss Colorado to remind

355
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: folks that, hey, those aren't all losses in the classical

356
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,239
Speaker 1: context of the word. They wanted a lot of those

357
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: guys to go. Guys. Everyone knows that I don't have

358
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: to repeat this. It's like if I tell you it's

359
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: eight am, I don't also have to tell you and

360
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: by the way, the sun Rose people just kind of

361
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: get it. Everyone heard what Dion said. Everyone understands when

362
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: he went in there and they went one and eleven,

363
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: a lot of the guys going out the door or

364
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: going out the door because he said, you don't have

365
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: a spot here anymore. I don't need to remind everyone

366
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: of that. No, they didn't have fifty seven guys, say

367
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: by Dion and he runs down the road chasing their

368
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: car as the taillight's fade into the distance. No, that's

369
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: not the way it's happening at Colorado. But in some

370
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: cases they did lose some guys they wanted to keep.

371
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: Many more times it was they didn't want to keep

372
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: the kids. So yes, yes, I don't think I need

373
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: to remind you of that every single time. The odds

374
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: to win the Pac twelve Championship this year Colorado's ninth,

375
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: so Cal and Arizona State and Stanford are still behind them.

376
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: Take that for whatever you'll take it for. I think

377
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: Michigan is a transfer portal winner. They didn't have to

378
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: do a lot, So it's way different than Colorado. In fact,

379
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: it could not be more different than Colorado. Very different.

380
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: Vote they can afford to be very selective. They got

381
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: an excellent kicker out of Louisville. They got Turner. Do

382
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 1: we say his whole name, James Turner yells, you know what,

383
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: God blessed you, James. He was very good last year.

384
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: So Michigan, again, they're just kind of cherry picking, kind

385
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: of selecting. They got Ernest Houseman, he was the top

386
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: overall rated kid. They got number two player overall in

387
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: the portal, a linebacker there out of Nebraska. Ladarius Henderson

388
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: is an offensive lineman rated ninety three out of the portal.

389
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 1: So they just they got Jack Tuttle by the way

390
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: as well for backup quarterback. They just sprinkled some additions

391
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: onto already a very very good roster, the favorite to

392
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,959
Speaker 1: win the Big Ten right now. And Notre Dame. In

393
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: this same vein, I gotta mention Notre Dame as a

394
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 1: portal winner. How much do you value quarterback? Well, we

395
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: obviously place a premium on the position, and especially if

396
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: you get a proven commodity at the position that's so

397
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: good that he chases your other guy off. That's what's

398
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: happened at Notre Dame. He got Sam Hartman from Wake

399
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: Forest rewrote the record books there, and now he comes

400
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: in and we get to see how legitimate a quarterback

401
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: he is, and we get to see what kind of

402
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: impact he has on this Notre Dame roster and on

403
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: this Notre Dame team, because otherwise it's a pretty good roster.

404
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: That's one that I think as a result of adding him,

405
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: we saw the odds market radically shift. And it's going

406
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: to be an interesting start to the season. Cost they

407
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: have Ohio State really early, and you know Notre Dame

408
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: schedule is always national anyway. But last year Hartman's sixty

409
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: three percent completion guy and thirty nine touchdowns, twelve interceptions.

410
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: So let's see you get a proven quarterback out of

411
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: the portal. You'll be hard pressed for us not to

412
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 1: call you a winner, nor will you be called anything

413
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: other than a winner. If I find out that you've

414
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: been doing shopping at Academy Sports and Outdoors, why, you

415
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: may ask, Well, it is poncho season in Nashville. It

416
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: has been for the last four or five hours. And

417
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: you hate to see it, you know, you hate to

418
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: see when we stand up here, high and dry and

419
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: we look down on the streets and we see garbage

420
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: bags or less. And we know these things can be prevented.

421
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: It's one hundred percent certainty rain is going to happen

422
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: at some point this year for you. They got you

423
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: covered at Academy Sports and Outdoors. You want an umbrella,

424
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: you want rain gear, you want a tent. I always

425
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: mention the tents, just because I mean, tents keep you

426
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: dry plus. But also let's just let's not just deviate

427
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,360
Speaker 1: away from really what their core mission is, and that's

428
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: hooking you up with anything you need in terms of

429
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: outdoor sporting goods supplies. It's not exactly tailgate weather across

430
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: the river at the stadium right now, but if it were,

431
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,719
Speaker 1: they have you hooked up there as well. Baseball season,

432
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: football season, you're into ultimate frisbee. I don't what you

433
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: like to do, and I don't care, nor do they.

434
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: They got you covered across the board, and if you

435
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: can't get there in person. Academy Sports and Outdoors opening

436
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: new stores all over the place. Lafay at Indiana just

437
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:12,719
Speaker 1: opened up a couple of weeks ago. I told you

438
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: I've looked at the chart. And if you're driving around

439
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: your city and you see random construction projects going on,

440
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: half way decent chance that it's an academy sports and outdoors.

441
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 1: Just keep an eye out, keep an eyeut. It's going

442
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: to be a busy summer and fall for new academy locations,

443
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: and we'll be right on top of it. All right,

444
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: I got so much more to talk about. I appreciate

445
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: you guys being tuned in to the live show. I've

446
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 1: gone two segments, Colin good time for the first cough here.

447
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: I think we're coming out of the cough. For those

448
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: of you who have been inquiring as to my status,

449
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: we're coming out of it. So the congestion is gone.

450
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: The rain has washed all the allergens out of the

451
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: air for like ten minutes, just a little bit of

452
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: a tickle in the throat left. So what do we

453
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: do about that? Rowed up on Ricola. We take a

454
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: few SIPs from the challice and we suck it up,

455
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: because men have survived far worse. What did you think

456
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 1: when Auburn hired Hugh Freese? It feels like forever ago.

457
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: It's only a few months ago. Auburn hires Hugh Freeze.

458
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: I noticed a lot of you had some derogatory things

459
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: to say about him. Shameful. So a lot of you

460
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: went into the off field stuff. We talked about it

461
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: on the show, and I think that you can go

462
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: back in our archives if you want to relive what

463
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: I said about all that. Needless to say, I did

464
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: not go along with the popular narrative, nor did I

465
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: really care about the popular narrative. I did care about

466
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: him on the field, though, and I think several of

467
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: you also had takes about what he would be on

468
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: the field. One of the consistent themes that I noticed

469
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: when people talked about Hugh Freeze at Auburn was, Hey,

470
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: if you can get past all the other stuff, the

471
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: off the field stuff, could this be a guy that

472
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: immediately sparks Auburn. Could they be in a position to

473
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: be a team that sees this quick turnaround, you know,

474
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: because you're thinking would have been Maybe they've got some

475
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: good players offensively, but the previous staff just didn't take

476
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: full advantage of them. And by the very nature of

477
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: what Hugh Freeze is as an offensive mind, you may

478
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: see some underutilized pieces just boom, all of a sudden

479
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: popped this year. It's not bad logic, it's not the

480
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: worst logic I've ever heard. But they need players that

481
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: was always the prerequisite. Any turnaround is going to require players.

482
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: And Hugh Freeze goes through spring at Auburn and then

483
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: after spring was over, he was I would say, about

484
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: as adamant as one could be in admitting we don't

485
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: really have what we need at quarterback yet. Now I've

486
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: still not given up faith in Robbie Ashford. I guess

487
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: that's just a hill that I'm prepared to die on.

488
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: But Hugh Freeze maybe he hasn't given up on him either,

489
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: but he did want to insert some more competition into

490
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: that room. The reason I mentioned that is because they did.

491
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: In fact, Auburn was a big player in the transfer portal.

492
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: Do you do you know how good a portal cycle

493
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: this was for Auburn. Auburn's been portaling. They've been portaling

494
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: hard down there. So they've added fifteen overall, they added

495
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: eight four star rated players, that's tied for the most

496
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: in FBS, and they added a quarterback. Finally, they added

497
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: Peyton Thorn from Michigan State. Talked about him a lot

498
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: last week, We've talked about him a lot throughout his career.

499
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: He adds forty nine career passing touchdowns to that room.

500
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: Now I was looking at what Nathan King was saying

501
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 1: over on Auburn Undercover dot com. How do we put

502
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: that number into context. Well, peyton Thorn comes in with

503
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: forty nine career passing touchdowns. That is seven times more

504
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: than the rest of that room had experience. Yes, he

505
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: brings it and they didn't have it. Uh, Michigan State

506
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: last year. If you haven't, if you're an Auburn fan

507
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: and you haven't really watched a lot of Peyton Thorn,

508
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: you just know he played for Michigan State. He had

509
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 1: a really good year two years ago. Last year pretty subpar. Well,

510
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: let me tell you what change. They couldn't run the

511
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: ball last year, and they were really good at it

512
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: the year before, and that's it. That's what changed. Had

513
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: a few more injury concerns last year, but really, by

514
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: and large, they had Kenneth Walker, the thurb who got

515
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: royally screwed along with will Anderson out of making a

516
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: trip to New York City in twenty twenty one. Then

517
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, they didn't have that and they

518
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 1: were terrible. Some of the worst rushing numbers you could

519
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: ever see in Peyton Thorn. As many things, but Caleb

520
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: Williams or Bryce Young. He is not. That's not a

521
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,479
Speaker 1: guy that's just going to take a team and single

522
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: handedly will them up and down the field. He's a

523
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: good talent, not a transcendent talent. Well, i'll tell you

524
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: one of the things that we can know about Auburn

525
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: with all the question marks around, they'll be able to

526
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: run football, or at least they'll be able to run

527
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 1: at a whole heck of a lot better than Michigan

528
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: State could last year. So with that alone, just that dynamic,

529
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: you can expect some pretty decent quarterback play. At least.

530
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: Then you get the infusion with Peyton Thorn and Hugh

531
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: Freeze and let's see what comes of that. And then

532
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: also what do we get at the very very very least,

533
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: we get competition in the quarterback room there. This is

534
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: why Auburn's a winner. I didn't even put them in

535
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: the transfer portal segment because I wanted to talk about

536
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: them individually. But Auburn, they made big moves. Like I said,

537
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: you got the quarterback there. They added Caleb Burton shortly thereafter.

538
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: He was one of those wide receivers that was in

539
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: the portal. Just couldn't quite crack the starting rotation at

540
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: Ohio State. Former four star guy. He goes to Auburn.

541
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: They may still make a few moves yet because there

542
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: are still guys out there, but added eight four star guys,

543
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: tied for most in FBS. Like I said, Rivaldo Fairweather

544
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: remember him, that was the tight end out of FIU.

545
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: We spoke about him a while back. They added some

546
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: good pieces. Now I cannot tell you how many wins

547
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: that's going to be worth, but I can tell you

548
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: that they were number four overall in the Transfer Portal rankings.

549
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: And Hugh Freeze understands this is not the rebuild era.

550
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: Certainly you need to have one down there, but this

551
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: is the rebuild. And when in the meantime, Lincoln Riley

552
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: ruined it, like I've told you many times, for a

553
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: lot of people, Lincoln Riley sorta kind of ruined it.

554
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: And he showed that you don't have to you don't

555
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: have to miss a bowl game while you begin your rebuild.

556
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: You can sort of rebuild and go play for conference championship.

557
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly, for that matter, did the same thing in

558
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: the SEC West last year. So, yeah, they start with UMass,

559
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: they go to Cal. Yes, Yes, Auburn goes to Cal.

560
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: The Cal Bear is also a sneaky, really good portal team.

561
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: This year they start conference playing Week four on the

562
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: road at A and M. They played Georgia. It's the

563
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: Auburn schedule. You know how ridiculous it is every year.

564
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: So the Auburn Tigers, a lot of people still out

565
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: to lunch on them. I think that their portal class

566
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: has gone overlooked a little bit. You got a bunch

567
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: of shine on Colorado USC. I don't think a ton

568
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: of people have talked about Auburn. And there they sit

569
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: in the top five. They got the seventh best odds

570
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: to win the SEC for the record. That would put

571
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: them ahead of Mississippi State, Florida, South Carolina, Arkansas, Missouri,

572
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: and Kentucky and Vanderbilt, who we couldn't fit on the graphic.

573
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: But if you think this is a show that's gonna

574
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: dump on Vanderbilt, think again. You just have to wait

575
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: a little while for that. Okay, a couple of things

576
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,239
Speaker 1: we're working on. We we've just been working through it

577
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: as a show. The first is I've eradicated frankly from

578
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: my vocabulary, so I have not said frankly the entire show.

579
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: What I still have to work on is when I

580
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: get done talking about something and I want to move

581
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: on to something else, I go okay, and then I

582
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: go back and watch the show and I hate it.

583
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: I think it sounds so dumb. I would rather just

584
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: sit here and say thirty times per segment then go okay.

585
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: I hate it. I hate it. I want to punch

586
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: the screen every time I hear it. So if if

587
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: you're out there and you feel like that you got

588
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: a friend in me and we were teaming up against

589
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: myself in one of the wildest hypothetical handicap matches ever,

590
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: Jesse just reminded me of something else. Probably not the

591
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: best time, but I would like to request that you

592
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: please like the video and subscribe to the channel and

593
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: subscribe to the pod if you haven't already. Why, Because

594
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: it is our lifeline. It is our lifeblood, and we're

595
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: not charging you a dime for the show. And it

596
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: doesn't cost anything to subscribe, which I'm still fascinated. Confuses

597
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: some people, but I get it. When you hear subscribe,

598
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: normally it means pay money. No, it doesn't cost anything.

599
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: There's nothing that happens. You just click it and you're

600
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: done and it helps us and thank you in advance. Okay,

601
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: so I did it again. Alrighty, there we go, a

602
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: nice substitute. So we're out of spring, right, we're out

603
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: of spring practice. Everyone is closed up shop, and we're

604
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: going into summer and we're going into the off season. Actually,

605
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: no we're not. We don't around here. We're not taking

606
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: any vacation. He hasn't been to the beach and I

607
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: don't know how long. What we want to do is

608
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: we want to dive really deep into these conferences and

609
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: talk about what we know. We went into spring and

610
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: then we gathered a bunch of intel in information. We're

611
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: coming out of spring. What do we know? And I

612
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: figured let's just go alphabetically. So let's start with the

613
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: ACC tonight. There is a lot of fluctuation at the

614
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: top of the odds market in the ACC. Do you

615
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: know who's favored to win the conference? Well, it depends

616
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: on what day you take a look, because it's been

617
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: moving up and down. Do you know who has the

618
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: highest preseason over under win totals in the ACC? Well,

619
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: these are different sports books that have put these out,

620
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: but it's not the same team. I'm not kidding you.

621
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: Right now, Clemson's over unders nine and a half, Florida

622
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: State's over under is ten, and yet Clemson has better

623
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: odds to win the conference right now at different sports books,

624
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: of course. So the first thing I need to tell

625
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: you is I need to tell you the ACC has

626
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: righted a great historical wrong and they have made sure

627
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: to get rid of the division format, and therefore the

628
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: top two teams from the conference will play in the

629
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: conference title game this year, as God intended it. With

630
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: that being said, what is happening at Clemson, Well, they

631
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: got Garrett Riley, if you have skipped the entirety of Spring,

632
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator from TCU that TCU the one to

633
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: play for the national title. They got him. We get

634
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: to see him paired up with kid club Nicket. Quarterback

635
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: Dju moved along to Oregon State. They are thirty sixth

636
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: are the Clemson Tigers in returning production? Defense is going

637
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: to be strong again. It's not a concern, not nearly

638
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: the concern that the offense is. And there are reasons

639
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: to be optimistic, but this is Clemson now coming off

640
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: a relatively down year production wise, to the point where

641
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: it is fair to look at them and say, I'll

642
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: have to see it. Now. You know North Carolina defensively,

643
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: you always look at them and say, I'll have to

644
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: see them be good defensively. Well, with Clemson right now,

645
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: it's fair to say I'll have to see them be

646
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: an elite offense. And they open at Duke and it

647
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: is popular nationally casually to look at that game and say, well,

648
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 1: that's one dub in Charleston Southern, that's another one in

649
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: Florida Atlantic, that's another one. A Duke is not an

650
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: easy win people, They are not at all. We'll talk

651
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 1: about him in a second. So that's the Clemson side

652
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: of things. The FSU side of things, The FSU Seminoles

653
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: have an over under a preseason of ten, my, how

654
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: far We've come. And they open against LSU in non

655
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: conference action. This is going to be the number one

656
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: hype trained team in preview magazine season. But it's justified.

657
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: This is the top portal class in the ACC, number

658
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: one team in the country in returning production. They are

659
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: one of few teams in this conference, or in America

660
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: for that matter, that has a proven, dependable, reliable, returning quarterback.

661
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: They're at Clemson in week four. Like I said, they

662
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: open against LSU in Week one down in Orlando. They

663
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: are or as of now, where are they? One, two, three, four, five,

664
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,479
Speaker 1: six seventy. They have the they're tied for the eighth

665
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: best odds to win the national championship. This is Florida State.

666
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: This is a team that has recently, as twenty four

667
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: months ago, people were telling you was dead in the water.

668
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: Need to fire the head coach. This is a dead end.

669
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: We need to move on, We need to clean house,

670
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. They didn't, and they were reaping the

671
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: rewards here year three under Mike Norvel, Wom's tomongst us

672
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: knew that if you gave a guy time and just

673
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: let him work, let him cook. As Bradley would say,

674
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: things can happen. And things may very well be getting

675
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: set to happen. I was looking the other night at

676
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 1: some of the early you know, week four, week five,

677
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: week six schedules. We may be at that FSU Clemson game.

678
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: You never know what about Miami. Miami has the fifth

679
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: best odds currently to win the ACC at plus fourteen.

680
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: They're over under. Preseason win total has been set at

681
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: seven and a half. What do you need to know, well,

682
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 1: they replaced both coordinators. Did you know that Kevin Steel's

683
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 1: at Alabama now? Shannon Dawson replaced Josh Gaddis as offensive coordinator?

684
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: And not only that, they kept Tyler Van Dyke. There

685
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,760
Speaker 1: were those rumors rumblings, well the starting quarterback there has

686
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: been maintained. And you may think to yourself, if you

687
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: saw his stats last year, oh, who cares? Well, I

688
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 1: do tells hardly anything about Miami's offense worked last year.

689
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: And Tyler Van Dyke was not a freshman. We've seen

690
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: him be productive before and then he fell off a

691
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: cliff along with a lot of other facets of that team,

692
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: which means he didn't forget how to play, just wasn't

693
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: put in the best position last year. Let's see if

694
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: this is the right position for him this year. Their

695
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: number thirty five in returning production. They were top ten

696
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: in recruiting, top fifteen in the portal. They play the

697
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: top four teams though in the ACC. So this is

698
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: the time year where you want to start focusing on

699
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 1: schedule a little bit. Three of their last four are

700
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: on the road. They need life. If you're a Miami fan,

701
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: if you're just me, sitting here talking about Miami. We

702
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: need to see life. A and m comes in there

703
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: in week two. Need to see life. I need to

704
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 1: be watching them saying, first off, wow, this true freshman

705
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: class really looks the part. Secondly, I need to be saying,

706
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 1: there's Tyler van Dijk, and thirdly, his team looks a

707
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 1: lot more tough, physical, disciplined. This is what Mario Christabal

708
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: talked about at his introductory press conference. And then you

709
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: get deeper in the year and you don't want to

710
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 1: see him look like Sharman against anyone with a pulse.

711
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 1: That's what we can't have this year. Speaking of non

712
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:51,959
Speaker 1: existent defense, has anyone heard from North Carolina lately? Sure

713
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: you've heard from Drake May, who gets ten times the

714
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: attention of his entire team, But have you heard from

715
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: North Carolina? They are plus seven point fifty to win

716
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: the ACC. That is the fourth best odds right now

717
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: to win the ACC. Interesting, Drake May has a lot

718
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: to do with that. Obviously, huge question again is going

719
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: to be defense. This is an older coaching staff. Gene

720
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: Chiswick is still the DC up there. They lost ten

721
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: defenders to the Portal, which may be a good thing,

722
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: may be a bad thing, depending on whether you thought

723
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: they were worth anything. Last year, they weren't. Let me

724
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: tell you. Points per game allowed, one hundred and second

725
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 1: total yards per game allowed, one sixteen total pass yards

726
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 1: per game, one sixteen rush yards per game allowed, eighty

727
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: sixth They were tied for one hundred and fourteenth and

728
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:48,760
Speaker 1: twenty plus yard plays given up. They were abominable. Abominable

729
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: twice I've used that word tonight. So North Carolina they

730
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: have a schedule that sees them go to Clemson very late,

731
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: and they also played Minnesota. That's the game you've all

732
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: been clamoring for, the old Minnesota North Carolina tilt, asking

733
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 1: you shall receive. Lastly, I wanted to point out a

734
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 1: couple of things. Here's a good trivia question for you,

735
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: especially you acc buffs. Could I ask you about your

736
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: own conference. Who's been the second best team over there

737
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: the past two years? Cue the Jeopardy music? Would you

738
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:29,280
Speaker 1: say Pitt? Yeah, maybe some of you. I'm not sure

739
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 1: that we'll be singing that tune this year because Pitt

740
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: is one hundred and nineteenth in returning production, and their

741
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: previous two recruiting classes are two of the worst that

742
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: we've seen under paton Ardoozi twenty and seven over the

743
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: last two years is wonderful. It's likely we have seen

744
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: the apex of Pittsburgh football in these past two years.

745
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: No shame in that Duke. Did you know that Duke?

746
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 1: Entering last year, so around this time they were plus

747
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:03,760
Speaker 1: fifty thousand odds to win the ACC That's like Kevin

748
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,720
Speaker 1: Malone betting ten dollars on John Mellencamp winning an oscar,

749
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 1: just because if people offer you ten thousand to one

750
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: odds on anything, you take it. Right. Well, if someone

751
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: offers you plus fifty thousand juice on anything, you take it,

752
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: although you would have lost. But Duke was a surprisingly

753
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: good team last year. So they were plus fifty thousand

754
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: going into the beginning of last year. They're plus four

755
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:32,240
Speaker 1: thousand going into the beginning of this year. They returned

756
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: seventy one percent of their production. They've got Riley Leonard

757
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: the most slept on legitimate quarterback in all of America.

758
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: Mike Elko out of the spotlight but doing big things

759
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: over there in the meantime. If we're hoping, and I

760
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: am trust me, if we're hoping for legitimate football to

761
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: be played in the state of Virginia. Twenty twenty three

762
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: is probably not our year, and I'm gonna tell you why.

763
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: Under preseason win totals for Virginia and Virginia Tech respectively

764
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: are three and a half and five. So maybe they'll

765
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: combined to make a bowl game, but it doesn't look

766
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: like it's gonna pop off this year up there, So

767
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: we're gonna it's you know, my feelings on this. It

768
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: is so inexplicable, how bad the combination of those programs

769
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 1: has been in a state where they should play high

770
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: level college football, and they have before, they have before,

771
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: So this is not This is not like one of

772
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: those things where you say, hey, if this program ever

773
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: got its act together, it could be good in football

774
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: one day. You know, the way they used to talk

775
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 1: about Florida and the seventies. No, Virginia Tech's been there

776
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: in Virginia. Even when Virginia wasn't there, they were at

777
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: least pumping out first round draft picks. No one's doing

778
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: that up there now. Ridiculous. Okay, let's uh, it's gonna

779
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: be out. It's gonna be a hard habit to break, Jesse,

780
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 1: really hard habit to break. I need some transitional words

781
00:41:55,880 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: to say so we can get rid of Okay, it's tough.

782
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: We got stuff to work on this time of year.

783
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: You wonder why we don't take an off season because

784
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: we got work to do. Oh boy, well, we led

785
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: to show talking about what the perils of sports betting, right,

786
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: so it's only natural that we talk a little sports

787
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: betting here, Colin, here is your endpoint. Did you know

788
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: we have preseason over underwin totals? Did you know we

789
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,919
Speaker 1: have those at our disposal right now? Yes? We do.

790
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 1: And I have some thoughts. I've actually got four bets

791
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: I already like. Dare I say I've already made Dare

792
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: I say that I do not? Dare say that Oklahoma

793
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: State's a team. I want to talk to you about careful,

794
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: very careful, because I know a lot of you out

795
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: there are just sharp enough to be dangerous. In other words,

796
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 1: you're paying just enough attention to know Oklahoma State. Oh

797
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: take the under well, I haven't told you the number yet.

798
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: No auto fade, auto faid, Well, that's how you auto

799
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: go broke auto anything. You got to measure what the

800
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 1: team is against the number. The over underwin toll is

801
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: six and a half for Oklahoma State. Yeah, take the

802
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: under why they've been ravaged by the portal. True, it's

803
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: probably why the number is at six and a half.

804
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: Now you've presented your argument, assuming you're done. You're done. Yeah,

805
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 1: you're done. What if I told you this? Their schedule

806
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,479
Speaker 1: is the most laughable thing that you have ever seen.

807
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: They play all four newcomers to the Big Twelve Central Florida,

808
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: welcome to the party, Houston, Brigham, Young, Cincinnati, You're all

809
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 1: playing Oklahoma State. It gets worse. They also play all

810
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 1: seven teams with worse odds than them in the Big Twelve.

811
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: How do you pull that off? Your cousin could be

812
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,439
Speaker 1: the schedule maker in the Big Twelve, and you still

813
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: couldn't pull that off as effectively as Mike Gundy has. Oh,

814
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 1: by the way, they avoid four of the sixth teams

815
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: ahead of them in terms of odds, and the two

816
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 1: that they do have to play, they play both of

817
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: them at home. I would also like to present this

818
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: little piece of evidence as to why I think the

819
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 1: over is the play here. The last time that Mike

820
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 1: Gundy finished under six and a half wins at Oklahoma State,

821
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: the year was two thousand and five. So give me

822
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: the over. With Oklahoma State. At least, that's where I

823
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,879
Speaker 1: lean heavily. Right now, what about Louisville. Louisville's over under

824
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: preseason win total is seven and a half under take

825
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: the under why coaching transition? Well, I disagree again. You

826
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 1: and I are not seeing eye at ee tonight. I

827
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 1: am taking the over at seven and a half with Louisville.

828
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you what. As me Ma, I

829
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: used to always teach me. Schedule, schedule, schedule. They avoid

830
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: the top three in the ACC. They don't play Clemson,

831
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 1: they don't play FSU, they don't play North Carolina. They

832
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: only play three true road games this year. How is

833
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: that possible? Well, they play seven home, they play three road,

834
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: and they play two neutrals. Now, the Georgia Tech game

835
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 1: is quote unquote neutral. It's in Mercedes Benz Stadium. But see,

836
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: there's no hostility. Louisville will not struggle at all to

837
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: go in there against Georgia Tech. And they'll travel a

838
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: lot of their fans down here because it's the first

839
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: game of the season, and they play Indiana in Indianapolis

840
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 1: and it's Indiana, So I think they'll be fine there.

841
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: They've got a top ten portal class coming in Jeff

842
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: brom By the way as the new head coach there,

843
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 1: which which reminds me they kind of stumbled into like

844
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 1: a more desirable coaching situation than they had with Sadderfield

845
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: that was kind of strained, and now they get the

846
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:51,919
Speaker 1: guy that they wanted to. They got the third best

847
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 1: odds to win the conference, no back to back road games.

848
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: It sets up very nicely for them. I'm gonna take

849
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 1: the over with Louisville seven and a half, and you

850
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 1: know what, I'm not done. I'm not done at all,

851
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: because I would also like to direct your attention to

852
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: the Big Ten. I think I like the over with

853
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 1: Illinois at six and a half. Uh uh under Why

854
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 1: because it's Illinois. You make a half decent point, especially

855
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 1: as it relates to years past. However, not last year.

856
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: We know the Big Ten West is wide open every year,

857
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: but they are coming off their best season since seven.

858
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: They went eight and five. Okay, so that alone is

859
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: a huge deal for Illinois, but let us not forget children.

860
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 1: Four of their five losses were by one possession, so

861
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: they were eight and five and close to being a

862
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: whole lot better than that. And I also think that

863
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,760
Speaker 1: what Brett Beelima has done up there, just in terms

864
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: of assuredness of oneself and culture and all these things

865
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: that matter on Saturdays, it's rock solid. Luke Altmeyer has

866
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 1: transferred in there at quarterback, so probably an upgrade at quarterback.

867
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 1: And also they don't play Ohio State, they don't play Michigan,

868
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: they get Penn State at home. They play four of

869
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: the six teams with lowest win totals in the Big

870
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: Ten as well. I need them to win seven games.

871
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: I think they will. And since we're having this over party,

872
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 1: I want to do something that we rarely do. I

873
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 1: want to I want to get on the elevator. I

874
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 1: want to go down to the lobby, want to walk

875
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,359
Speaker 1: out on the street. I want to march ourselves up

876
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:29,439
Speaker 1: about a half a mile up the road and let's

877
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 1: go to Vandy. Are we about to bet on Vanderbilt

878
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: football in May? Absolutely? We are. What are we doing?

879
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: We're taking the over and it's not just because of

880
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 1: our feelings towards Barton Simmons. This is going to be

881
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: a lot better team than three and a half wins.

882
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:47,760
Speaker 1: They're out of conference alone, could get the job done.

883
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 1: There's a scenario here, and let's go long a on

884
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 1: this just humor me. There's a scenario here where Vandy

885
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: is hitting their over before they enter conference play. They

886
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: play week zero, they play Alabama A and M. Week two,

887
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: they go to wake Forest week three. I think it'll

888
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,760
Speaker 1: be a very competitive game, and they play at UNLV

889
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 1: week four. I think that's a three and one start

890
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: with an outside shot to being a four and zho start.

891
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: This is a very improved team that's being slept on.

892
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 1: Calls their Vanderbilt and I understand that, but it's your

893
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: three of that coaching staff over there, and that implementation

894
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: of a different way of doing things. They upgraded last year.

895
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: I think you'll see a more more of maybe a

896
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: quantum leap by Vandy standards this year. Seventy three percent

897
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 1: offensive production returns across the board upgrades, and like I said,

898
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: are totals three and a half here, So I'm going

899
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 1: over three and a half. I think I've got three

900
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,359
Speaker 1: of them already just in the out of conference slate.

901
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 1: I could have more than that. And then let's also

902
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: talk about the fact that as odds go in the SEC,

903
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: they play four of the bottom six odds teams in

904
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 1: the sec. You remember this game last year. If you're

905
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: listening on a podcasts, we're showing you b roll of

906
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 1: Vandy and Florida. Like they beat Florida last year. Well,

907
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: Florida was a double digit favorite when they came in there, Like,

908
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 1: I need them to do that once. I need them

909
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: to bite Kentucky or Auburn. I need them to do

910
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: that once they're going to they'll probably end up. You

911
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: know what, if I were to get a little better juice,

912
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 1: i'd even go and I would entertain over at four

913
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:29,919
Speaker 1: and a half. But I don't have to do that.

914
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 1: I'm just running my mouth on that over. Three and

915
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:34,840
Speaker 1: a half is the number, and I like it. So

916
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, Louisville, Illinois, Vandy, we're taking over on all

917
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: of him. You may wonder, oh, that's a square. A

918
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 1: square gets you're betting all overs? Yes, I always do this.

919
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 1: Early in the market. I take overs the ones that

920
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 1: I like, and then I wait for the numbers to

921
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,280
Speaker 1: get as inflated as they can. Because the vast majority

922
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: of the public bets overs. I know that, so I

923
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:57,439
Speaker 1: try and get the overs I like ahead of time

924
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,479
Speaker 1: before some things get artificially steamed. Up, and then we'll

925
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 1: have an under parade really close to the season, like

926
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: mid August. This when we'll start got it, got it,

927
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 1: We'll just start randomly firing on unders. But not until

928
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: then that set from the chalice. We had some some rumors,

929
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,280
Speaker 1: some hot rumors. Let me give you some hot gossip

930
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: from the streets of Nashville today. It's not Vanderbilt related.

931
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 1: I got a report about three point thirty this afternoon.

932
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 1: It made us drop everything, and the report was that

933
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 1: edwar Zeron had been spotted over at the Taylor Swift concert. Naturally,

934
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 1: these are not two people whose paths you would expect

935
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 1: to cross at any point in time. But hey, much

936
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: crazier things have happened in the world of Edward Zaran recently,

937
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: to where I said, yeah, that sounds about right, but

938
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 1: we couldn't confirm it. But we did confirm via photographic

939
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 1: evidence that he was on the premises over there. We

940
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: just cannot confirmed that he was in the building. So

941
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 1: more details as they emerged there, and remember, we will

942
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: keep you up to date on the ed Orzern Taylor

943
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 1: Swift concert front. But who was ed Or Zoran's last employer? LSU?

944
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 1: What should we do tonight mood Tracker time, Colin, here's

945
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: your endpoint. LSU mood Tracker one of our favorite segments,

946
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 1: one of our favorite fan bases. Unless I've been labeled

947
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 1: an LSU hater, I checked last week. We've got many

948
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 1: accusations on the board. LSU hater, I don't think it's

949
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 1: on the board yet, So we'll see. The LSU mood

950
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: tracker is the temperature of the fan base. Where is

951
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 1: the fan base's head at? But I want to ask

952
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: you where your head was at this time last year?

953
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 1: And everyone can answer this that you can answer quietly

954
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 1: amongst yourselves. So let's be honest. Some of you embarrassed

955
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 1: yourselves this time last year, didn't you. Some of you

956
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: fell for it. You fell for the old Well, he's

957
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:57,839
Speaker 1: not from the South, he can't win there, he can't

958
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 1: recruit there. What accent was that? Look at how foolish

959
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 1: he looks dancing in those recruiting videos. Some of you

960
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: fell for it, and I tried to warn you. But

961
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: as much as I tried to pull your rope up,

962
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: you just you took cinderblocks under both arms and you

963
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 1: hopped over the cliff, and I could do nothing for you.

964
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 1: And so the oh, there's LSU in Atlanta playing for

965
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 1: the SEC championship. There's LSU locking down top ten portal class,

966
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: top ten signing class. There's Brian Kelly living his best

967
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 1: life down there in Baton Rouge and no one caring

968
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: what his accent is there. It is one of the

969
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 1: easier things to see coming was Brian Kelly being a

970
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: fit in the SEC because he's always been an SEC coach.

971
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,840
Speaker 1: He just happened to be in South Bend, Indiana for

972
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: a long time. I told you this anyway, this is

973
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,280
Speaker 1: not and I told you so. This is a mood tracker.

974
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 1: You know what I think the LSU fan mood tracker is.

975
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: There's one of the most ridiculous ad campaigns in the

976
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 1: history of humanity going on right now with Burger King.

977
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: It's the whole habit your way thing. The mantra is

978
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 1: not bad, the music's horrible, but they got their own

979
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 1: BK at LSU. I think their mood is have it

980
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 1: our way. There's a certain way LSU folks act. There's

981
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 1: a certain way they think. There's a certain way and

982
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 1: certain pride they take about themselves. Very unique culture. You

983
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 1: should never apologize for it. You should embrace it. You

984
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 1: shouldn't care at all if anyone ever makes fun of it.

985
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 1: I love going down there, so I'm never one making

986
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:31,799
Speaker 1: fun of it. I'm the one kind of standing over

987
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: here with you guys, saying what then, why then? I

988
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 1: just sound a little different than you. I'm like Brian Kelly.

989
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 1: I would kind of have to fake it if I

990
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 1: were to do the accent down there. I'm not from

991
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: a parish. I'm just from a county, and that county

992
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: is over in Georgia. But I still I count myself

993
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 1: as one of you, and thankfully you do too, so

994
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: you feed me every time I go down there. Have

995
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 1: it our way, currently having it our way. The Brian

996
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 1: Kelly Experiment's not an experience. It's just working. It's gonna work.

997
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 1: There's no mystery there. They have the number six recruiting class,

998
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,839
Speaker 1: they got the number three portal class. Excellent quarterback room,

999
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: Harold Perkins probably the best player defensively in America. Don't

1000
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 1: forget about Mason Smith. You know they won the West

1001
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: last year and lost Mason Smith in Week one in

1002
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 1: the FSU game. Everyone just forgets about that. That was

1003
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: so deflating, and they ended up they ended up still

1004
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 1: regrouping and winning the west O line. Something they need

1005
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: to upgrade dB is a question mark. They went and

1006
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 1: got an entire secondary out of the portal. That's a

1007
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 1: question mark. But they were turned eighty one percent of

1008
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 1: their offensive production. A lot of reasons to feel good,

1009
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:44,920
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons to think you're gonna have it

1010
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 1: your way. There were two groups of people when LSU

1011
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:51,239
Speaker 1: hired Brian Kelly. There were two groups of people. The

1012
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: first group laughed foolishly and said, how could LSU hire

1013
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:59,280
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly? Then there were people who know the sport,

1014
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,439
Speaker 1: and I was over there with him and I was saying,

1015
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 1: how could you let ls you hire Brian Kelly? But

1016
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:08,959
Speaker 1: when we said it, we were talking to the rest

1017
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: of the SEC. How did you mess around and let

1018
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:15,919
Speaker 1: them land Brian Kelly? Do you have any idea what's

1019
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 1: about to happen? A lot of people didn't. A lot

1020
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,360
Speaker 1: of people thought it was a joke. A lot of

1021
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: people thought that football is really all about your accent

1022
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: and about whether you're dancing videos inspire confidence or not.

1023
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:34,279
Speaker 1: This is about understanding how to get good players and

1024
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 1: how to put them in the best position to succeed

1025
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: and how to develop them in the process and sell

1026
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: a program. And there is nothing that I just described

1027
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 1: that he's not any worse than an aus n and

1028
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 1: he's been that way for a while, and LSU will

1029
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 1: continue to perennially be a contender. This is not a

1030
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 1: program where you have these wild fluctuations like Michigan State.

1031
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 1: They're in the playoff picture two years ago and then

1032
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 1: they're under Bowl contention the next year. That's not the

1033
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:05,280
Speaker 1: way it's gonna be there. They'll just consistently be a winner,

1034
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:07,719
Speaker 1: not gonna win the division every year. It's really hard

1035
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 1: to do, but you're gonna have to go through them

1036
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: if you do win it. So they're one of two

1037
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 1: SEC teams with a returning offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, head coach,

1038
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:24,840
Speaker 1: and quarterback. Who's the other one? You are? Vanderbilt Commodores,

1039
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: your your neighborhood team here in Nashville. The Vanderbilt Commodores

1040
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: lsusing a good place, LSU having it our way. I'm

1041
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 1: not gonna sing the ridiculous song. You guys can if

1042
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 1: you want to, But Brian Kelly is the right guy

1043
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 1: at any time. Brian Kelly Win Georgia had an opening

1044
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 1: back in twenty When did they fire Rigged after twenty fifteen?

1045
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:53,320
Speaker 1: I remember I was doing talk radio and we had

1046
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 1: taken really, really an infant version of what would end

1047
00:56:58,000 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 1: up becoming Late Kick Live, and we were doing it

1048
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 1: on TV on there, and I said, Georgia should target

1049
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly. Now, the guy they ended up hiring did

1050
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:09,799
Speaker 1: Okay Kirby something, But I thought they should hire Brian Kelly.

1051
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 1: Everyone thought I was crazy, and they said, why do

1052
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 1: you think that? And I said, he's already an SEC coach,

1053
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 1: and back then he was more intense than he is now.

1054
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly. I don't know what kind of medication that

1055
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 1: he required, but there's no way the heart is meant

1056
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 1: to pump as much blood through the body over four

1057
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 1: quarters on a Saturday afternoon, as Brian Kelly was requiring

1058
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 1: from his heart to turn his face that color red.

1059
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 1: So I think that he's taken the foot off the

1060
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 1: gas a little bit, at least in terms of outward aggression.

1061
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 1: He's just flat out aggressive to his quarterbacks and whatnot.

1062
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:50,440
Speaker 1: He talked about that anyway, that always screamed SEC to me.

1063
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: He just happened to be at Notre Dame. When that

1064
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 1: didn't happen, and then he started to get a little

1065
00:57:56,240 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 1: bit older, I just thought, okay, that that window is

1066
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 1: passed him by. He'll end up retiring at Notre Dame.

1067
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 1: And so that's why it surprised me so much when

1068
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: LSU was able to get this done. It surprised me

1069
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: so much. But it's so obvious. It is so obvious.

1070
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 1: I was. I was doing radio down there last week

1071
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 1: and people said, do you think the nation understands Brian Kelly?

1072
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: And I said no. And the reason I say that

1073
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 1: is because I think nationally, when folks hear him talk now,

1074
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 1: when they just see the way he carries himself, they

1075
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 1: think it's a show, but it's not. I think that's

1076
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 1: the real Brian Kelly. That was always Brian Kelly, and

1077
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 1: it was just kind of buttoned up at Notre Dame.

1078
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: I got no problem with that. Like one of again,

1079
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 1: one of the things I love about college football is

1080
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 1: there are different cultures at different programs, different things prioritized,

1081
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 1: different ways they go about doing things. Having said that,

1082
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 1: some guys are more well suited for one versus the other,

1083
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly was always more well suited for LSU. He

1084
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 1: just happened to do a pretty darn good job at

1085
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: Notre Dame in the meantime, and so Notre Dame's happy

1086
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 1: with their guy. Now LSU is happy with their guy.

1087
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 1: Classic win win rare commodity in any day and age,

1088
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 1: especially in college football. But everyone kind of got what

1089
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: they wanted. And now we got LSU about to open

1090
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 1: against Florida State and possibly the absolutely the game of

1091
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 1: week one. I hate that it's in Orlando, milfense to Orlando,

1092
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 1: but it is what it is. It was in New

1093
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 1: Orleans last year. And then they open conference play to

1094
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 1: the LSU Tigers. In Week three. They go to Alabama

1095
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 1: this year. That's the toughest road game. Otherwise, they got

1096
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 1: Auburn at home, they got Florida at home. They got

1097
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 1: Texas A and M at home. Fun time should be

1098
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 1: had by all. Fun time was had by us here tonight.

1099
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys being tuned in. Make sure that

1100
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 1: you have liked the video if you haven't already. We

1101
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 1: could easily get that number over five hundred before we

1102
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 1: go off here. We have an interesting week coming up,

1103
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 1: very interesting week. I can't tell you anything about it,

1104
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 1: but as I did promise sho you last week. I

1105
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 1: think this week we will have an announcement about the

1106
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 1: location and date for our next Pate State Speakers Series trip.

1107
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 1: It's going to be a good one. It's been heavily requested.

1108
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:15,959
Speaker 1: This is not going to be the last one. In fact,

1109
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 1: we have a lot of them coming down the pipe.

1110
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 1: But it's going to be a very very fun late

1111
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 1: spring and summer stretch here. What it will not be

1112
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 1: in any shape, form or fashion is an offseason because

1113
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 1: you will not allow it and we don't want to

1114
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 1: take away. So for producer Jesse, for director Colin, for

1115
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: associate Bradley, I'm Josh Bate. Take care, have a great

1116
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 1: rest of your evening, and God bless
