Speaker 1: de Sager. Thank you in for Harmon tonight and uh

12
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you Steve O big night in college football,

13
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: it's fun. Like you know, I really wish this isn't

14
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: a this isn't a perfect world because it's it's kind

15
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: of it would be kind of hard to do that,

16
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: But I would love for there to be a world

17
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: where college football at the beginning of the season got

18
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: a little bit more than just Labor Day weekend to

19
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: get some of the spotlight. Like I wish we had

20
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: two or three weeks of college football before the NFL started,

21
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: Rather give them that. Then the NFL starts, we get

22
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: into it. Because I feel like, you know, college football

23
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: is a sport that we talk about going into Saturday,

24
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: and it's a really big preview. Obviously, NFL, you know,

25
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: dominates all week. But then you get to Monday and

26
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, we spend so much time talking about

27
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: the NFL on Monday and Tuesday off the Monday night games,

28
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: and then we get to Wednesday, and all of a sudden,

29
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: Thursday Night football is here, and okay, now we're looking

30
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: at like college football really sort of disappears by Monday,

31
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: and really, this is the one weekend where college football

32
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: is runs unopposed, all right, like this this is absolutely

33
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: running unopposed at this point, but it's only one week.

34
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 3: I will say, it's nationally you're talking about that college

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 3: football has moments of disappearing. There are regions where, believe me,

36
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 3: it never disappears.

37
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah.

38
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: We do have a as you would expect, larger slate

39
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 3: of games coming up on Saturday, and it is not

40
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 3: just the first big weekend of college football. It is

41
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: a holiday weekend, so we will have games on through Monday, because,

42
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 3: as you mentioned, the NFL is not starting till Thursday,

43
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: when Philadelphia hosts Dallas cannot wait for the schedule through

44
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 3: the weekend, but particularly tomorrow, and it's gonna start with

45
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 3: the big noon kickoff noon Eastern on Fox TV. Number

46
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 3: one Texas at number three Ohio State.

47
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: Now, speaking of college foot we'll have more on that

48
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: coming up in a bit. We'll give you our big

49
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: pick between Texas and Ohio State. The game, the new

50
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: game of the decade, that's a few hours away, and

51
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, maybe I'll able to tell you what happens

52
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: if Dave Portnoy actually gets to appear on camera. But

53
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: the day after for Micah Parsons and the Cowboys brought

54
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 1: us nearly as much entertainment as the first day. I can't,

55
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: I can't, I can't in good conscience say it was

56
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: as much because boy Jerry Jones's press conference, which was

57
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: be a better idea if he just didn't say anything.

58
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: That was just gold Man, you know, him discovering it.

59
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: You know, after the trade of Micah Party, when Micah

60
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 1: Parsons wanted out, they had to stop the run. That's

61
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: my favorite part. We got to stop the run. Didn't

62
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: know this, but we have to stop the run. So

63
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: let's make a trade, right, But we got stuffed today

64
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: from both the Cowboys and Parsons for different new angles

65
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: on this that makes you look at things a little

66
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: bit differently. All right, Now, first we got to hear

67
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: from Brian Schottenheimer, right, Cowboys head coach. Who now is

68
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: I mean he said yes to the job, so you

69
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: can't feel too bad for but you know, put in

70
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: the situation of trying to figure out what's next talking

71
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: to his team about Micah Parsons and what they where

72
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: they go from here. Big meeting, Yeah, with the team

73
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: today and one of the things he said after he

74
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: talked with the team was that, hey, our goals for

75
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: this season are still the same. What he said was

76
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: he said nothing.

77
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 3: Nobody there, Yeah, nothing, good luck.

78
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: Schottenheimer said, Look, our goals haven't changed, right, the goals

79
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: haven't changed, So that means nine or ten wins, one

80
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: playoff game and continuing the thirty five year old drought

81
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: of a Super Bowl. But but uh, look the main

82
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: thing is.

83
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 3: That and not last year for the no no, no,

84
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 3: well look they would.

85
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: If Dak hadn't gotten hurt, they would have gotten Look,

86
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: Dak's a good quarterback. I mean, if you can't treat

87
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott like you know, but Dak's a good quarterback.

88
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: But that's the Cowboys ceiling every years nine or ten wins,

89
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: and that's what they're honestly what you're hoping for in

90
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: that division, which now has two teams that are markedly

91
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: better than you and the Giants. So that's the big thing.

92
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: But him saying, we had a passionate conversations today with

93
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: with with with the team. You know, we talked him,

94
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: We had a we had a you know, a real

95
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: conversation and it got passionate. Uh you know, but it

96
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: was still good the communication he has with his team.

97
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: So I wonder, Steve, if passionate means hey, what the

98
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: hell are we doing? Man? I get up, but I

99
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: get a notification on my phone we traded Micah Partson's

100
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: who's gonna make up for those sixty sacks? Come on, man,

101
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: what are we doing?

102
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 3: That's exactly what the that means. Passionate means Wow, we

103
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 3: got some pushback on this. Wow, dude, I'm just the messenger.

104
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 3: I just got this gig. I've never been a head

105
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 3: coach before. Maybe you could you know, we have a

106
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: general manager and he happens to be the owner who's

107
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 3: paying your contract. Maybe you could chat with him.

108
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: You know, he walked in saying, guys, just let you know,

109
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: first of all, I did not make this trade right.

110
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: That's not met Hey Clark, sorry, happy you're here, man,

111
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: but I did not make this trade right.

112
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 3: Just so you got that's right. I'm offensive coordinator. I

113
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 3: don't even know that we have a defense. You can't

114
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 3: blame me.

115
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: But think about how when he talks about how passionate

116
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: it was, because you know how this has gone over

117
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: in the Cowboys.

118
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 3: Locker room right like a lead balloon.

119
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: Things. Two things for the Cowboys before you get the Parsons.

120
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: Number one, if you think it's bad in Dallas now

121
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: with the fans and the team after this trade, you

122
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: wait and see what happens if the Cowboys start getting

123
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: boast rates earlier early in the season.

124
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 3: Let's start with Philly, as we mentioned so.

125
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: Right, so that'll be and that'll be national TV Week

126
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: one next week. Good bleep and luck. That's gonna make

127
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: right now look like a guy in the street giving

128
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: away money, because you can imagine if they start losing early,

129
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: because this was Jerry Jones punting on the season a

130
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: week before. We don't need the best defensive player in

131
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: the NFL. We have to move them now. Oh boy,

132
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: So now you're sending the message that yeah, hey, we're

133
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: we're not better. You can't tell me we're better now

134
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: everybody knows they're not. You can't. You can't pull the

135
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: wool over the players eyes. They know they're there in

136
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: the locker room every day. But you think it's bad

137
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: now with the reaction from the fans who hate their

138
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: team more than they hate their rivals. Now, I guarantee

139
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: you Cowboys fans hate their team more than they hate

140
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Right, that's how much. That's how mad Cowboys

141
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: hold on. You wait until three four weeks into the

142
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: season when it's the fans and it's this trade that

143
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: continues to loom over the team and seeing the Cowboys

144
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: lose and the and what it is for the players

145
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: who have to live with this every single day. I mean,

146
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: remember what happened to John Grudner. You traded Khalil Mack

147
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: Right when every week was a strip sack and a

148
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: and a return for a touchdown. It was like, man,

149
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: did you make a really bad job.

150
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 3: That's when we got to make the day. Ask that

151
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 3: arden Key he can take over for mac right, key,

152
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 3: everything is fine. Can I just think of what might

153
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 3: be the worst case scenario we can think of over

154
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 3: the next month for the Dallas Cowboys. Okay, you lose

155
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 3: at Philadelphia, that seems quite realistic Thursday night. Yeah, then

156
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 3: what if you lose your home opener to the Giants

157
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 3: after that.

158
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: And Jackson off the bench for three touchdowns in the

159
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: second half, and then you.

160
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 3: Lose at the Bears and you're oh and three the.

161
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: Fourth game Caleb Williams four touchdowns, three p fifty through

162
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: the air.

163
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, what if you're oh and three going into the

164
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 3: game to end the month of September. It's Sunday Night

165
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 3: Football and the Cowboys are hosting Micah Parsons and the

166
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 3: Green Bay Packers, and Parsons sacks Dack causes the big

167
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 3: turnover to change the game, and Dack's out for a month.

168
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 3: That's about the worst case scenario that I can think of.

169
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 3: Where you I was gonna say, reverse run the table

170
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 3: for September. You're going nowhere and the guy you trained

171
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 3: is the guy that affects the game to give you

172
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 3: that l at the end of the month.

173
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing. I will tell you this if

174
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: that happens, and and and that loss to the Packers

175
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: and Parsons has a big day, the Cowboys will just

176
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: quit on the season. And I don't mean they'll be no,

177
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: I mean they're not gonna play any more games. They'll say, listen,

178
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: we're done. We'll see you next year. We're gonna all

179
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: go away on vacation. Everybody that plays us now gets

180
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: a win. Right, It's like a It's like the youth

181
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: team that forfeits because listen, at like three four weeks in,

182
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: we can't get the players, a couple of girls quit.

183
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 3: Or a good nights for your jets.

184
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: Get we'll get it, buye and a win. But look

185
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: the other part, weirdly, right, weirdly for the Cowboys as

186
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: this is that in a really strange way. Right again,

187
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: think it's bad now, you just wait going into this season. Right,

188
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are always the number one story in the NFL,

189
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: right because they're the Cowboys, Right, we know this, But

190
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: this was kind of a garden variety year where the

191
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys were a big story. Right, Cowboys are always big.

192
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, Dak Prescott makes it that way, like they're

193
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: always a big story. But this year was more of

194
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: a okay, so they're going in, but no one really

195
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: had expectations for the Cowboys. You know, maybe if things

196
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: go right, the offense can be really good. And I

197
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: think the offense can be really good. I think they

198
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: can actually have a really good year offense. And maybe

199
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: it's a year where hey, just don't get in a

200
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: shootout with the Cowboys because Dak is hot and he's

201
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: got a couple of really good receivers and a really

202
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: good tight end. Because Ferguson had a big year when

203
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: Dak was healthy two years ago, So that'd be that top.

204
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: But it's a general year where other stories would creep up.

205
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: Right if Patrick Mahomes suddenly turns into Mahomes of three

206
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: years ago, Wow, look at the story that would be, right.

207
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams if he turns out to be great in Chicago,

208
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: Chador Sanders if he ever winds up starting for the

209
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: Browns Week eight. That But now, because of this trade,

210
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have become the number one story in the

211
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: NFL every single week for the first half of the season. Good, bad,

212
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: and different. They trade Micah Parsons. They're terrible. Everybody jumps

213
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: up and down on them. We knew it. They're good.

214
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: You get people who want to say this trade is

215
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: great for them. Look at the attention Jerry Jones does

216
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: a victory lap. Or even if they're mediocre, they're terrible,

217
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: they'd be better with Micah Parsons. Like, no matter how

218
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: it goes, every week, because of this trade, the Cowboys

219
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: become story number one in the NFL. And I guarantee

220
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: you that's what Jerry Jones is walking around Valley Ranch

221
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: did today all today, go say, turn us into the

222
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: big story. Thought we weren't gonna be, but now look

223
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: were turned cowboys. Cowboys cowboys. Right, Let's go out to

224
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: happy hour everybody. What a great day for us. It's

225
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: a Friday. We don't play game for another week. We're

226
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: happy now. I got us relevant again by trading Michah Parsons.

227
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: And if we need to middle of the season, I

228
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: could trade Dak or CD. It depends. It depends how

229
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: Dak is playing. So but really, in a weird way,

230
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: he has amped up the attention on the Cowboys to

231
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: now where they're the biggest story in the NFL this year,

232
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: and in the first half of the season. I don't

233
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: see there being something that's bigger than the Cowboys coming

234
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: off of this trade of Michaeh Parsons.

235
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 3: We'll see if it lasts passed the Green Bay game,

236
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 3: depending how that matchup goes and the first month of

237
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: the season. But Micah Parsons did play a majority of

238
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 3: the games last year. In thirteen games, he had twelve sacks.

239
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 3: There were a handful of other Cowboys with about five sacks,

240
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 3: roughly tied four second. The Dallas defense, they allowed twenty

241
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 3: eight points per game last year. That is second worst

242
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 3: in the entire NFL, second worst to only Carolina. So

243
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 3: I realized they were atrocious. With Micah Parsons. You might

244
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 3: get better getting first rounders from in this case, Green

245
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 3: Bay each of the next two years. Okay, I agree

246
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 3: with all of that. There are so many holes for

247
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 3: you to fill, general Manager, and you've botched this up

248
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 3: so royally. Do you not see that it's almost gotten

249
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 3: to the point of whack a mole? There are so

250
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 3: many problems cropping up with the Cowboys, and pretty soon

251
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 3: it's going to be decades plural worth of problems cropping up.

252
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 3: You're not solving anything. You're just running around in circles

253
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 3: and not going forward, Cowboys in the NFC Championship. Maybe

254
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 3: in our lifetimes that might happen again, and arm right,

255
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 3: I'm not sure about that at this point in our one.

256
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: What happens next the Cowboys in the NFC Championship or

257
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: the end of the final Bobby Benia Day, that's twenty

258
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: thirty five.

259
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 3: What happens for that's really not that far away when you're.

260
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,719
Speaker 1: Look all right, all right, let me give you a

261
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: different one. Let me give a different one. The Cowboys

262
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:49,479
Speaker 1: in the NFC Championship or the end of the Dodgers

263
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: Paying Show. Hey o, Tani, that's ten years after that.

264
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 3: Okay, here's why I don't have to explain why I'm

265
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 3: going to side with the Cowboys on this. Okay, I

266
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 3: don't mean to be morbid, but the guy who happens

267
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 3: to be general manager right now, he's elderly.

268
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: Oh wow.

269
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 3: Therefore, perhaps some other decisions will be made in the

270
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 3: next twenty years of Dallas Cowboy history.

271
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: Wow.

272
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I thought i'd put that gently enough.

273
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: Woo. No, no, okay, no, okay, I got you there,

274
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: I got you. Uh listen, So there's the Cowboys, right

275
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: understand that that's where we're at the day after. Now,

276
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: let's get to MICHAEH. Parsons for a couple of minutes, right,

277
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: because this is as good as things can be from

278
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons. He wanted out. He got his trade, he

279
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: got the biggest contract of a non quarterback in NFL history.

280
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 1: Here he was today talking about now his new NFL

281
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: life in Green Bay.

282
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 4: I looked on that wall and I saw Brett fav

283
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 4: I saw Reggie, I saw all those legends, and I

284
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 4: was like, I gotta be there, and you know, you

285
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 4: go and you go near the draft room and they're

286
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 4: all having their hands up and they having that moment.

287
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 4: I'm looking for that moment, and you know, I'm going

288
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 4: to take advantage of this moment and maximize it to

289
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 4: reach that moment.

290
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: So this is the what could be a dark side

291
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: from Micah Parsons. Right. Look, I love the fact that

292
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: he understands the pageantry and the legacy of the Green

293
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: Bay Packers. Right, He's going to a great situation. But

294
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: this is the thing, right, this is the dark side

295
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: from Micah Parsons. He wanted out. It's been a very

296
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: emotional last few months. He had zero saying. He said

297
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: I didn't have any say where I was getting traded.

298
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: I didn't know where I was getting traded. But at

299
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: some point you do you know, Okay, it's the packers,

300
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: because the packers aren't making that trade unless they know

301
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: you're going to agree to a new contract.

302
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 3: Corus So.

303
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: But he said, I had no say. We knew the

304
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: Packers were interested a few days ago. Right, Remember that

305
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: rumor was, hey, packers want to talk to the Cowboys

306
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: about Micah Parsons. That was out there a couple of

307
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: days ago. So where there was smoke, there was fire.

308
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: So that's going on. But this is Micah Parsons now,

309
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: who is hitting the point where he's gonna be in

310
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: the middle of his prime as an NFL player. Now

311
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: maybe he's a Miles Garrett type player where in his

312
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: early thirties he can still be dominant for a couple

313
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: of years. He's right now, this is your Yeah, He's

314
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: had his the first half of his prime. Now the

315
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: back half of his prime is what he's gonna have.

316
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: He didn't choose where he goes to play, and he's

317
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: there for the next four years because he signed for

318
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: the money, so he got the he's got his bag.

319
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: He got what he wanted right in great moment today

320
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: talking about how I could tell my mom to retire

321
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: and and it's an awesome, awesome thing. But he didn't

322
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: get to go free agent and pick his destination. He

323
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: didn't get to have any input on, hey, I really

324
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: want to go here. He didn't get to pick a

325
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: team or a system that he thinks can best utilize

326
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: his talents. He didn't get to pick the coaching staff

327
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: that he likes the most. It was here's your trade,

328
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: and now you're here for the next four years. Like

329
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: that's a big life change to suddenly go from Okay

330
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: here I am. I thought it was going to be

331
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: a Dallas cowboy. Now the last few months I've been living,

332
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: you know, in purgatory every day. I don't know what's happening,

333
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: but I just know I'm miserable. Now you get your

334
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: you get your wish, you get your lease on le

335
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: hey boom, you're getting your trade. You're getting out. Great.

336
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: Where am I going? Green Bay? Four years? Here's your money?

337
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: Hope you're happy. Like that's a big change for him,

338
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: and it better work or boy, the packers are gonna

339
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: be stunn Like it better work for him in their

340
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: system now I think it will. Parsons is kind of

341
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: a plug and play guy, and he's that talented. But

342
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: the one, the one dark side is that, Hey, when

343
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: you're a player and you become one of the best

344
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: players in the game, like you're the best defensive player,

345
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: you want to be able to pick where you go, right,

346
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: You want to pick where you go where you get

347
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: your contract, and you did not have a say in that.

348
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: So that's always a big question. Are you we going

349
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: to use you the right way? Like go back to

350
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams, like he talked his way out of New

351
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: York with the Jets. He was just miserable. Miserable, miserable

352
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: would go on the radio and say things even though

353
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: the Jets wanted to give him money, make him a

354
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: franchise player, No, I want out. So the Jets trade

355
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: him to Seattle, and what happens He's beat in the league. Now.

356
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: Didn't work out in Seattle. Yeah, he got paid, he

357
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: got some money, but his career has been eh. Instead

358
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: of what could have been a legendary career where he

359
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: could have been a player with much more cachet around him,

360
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 1: he went and it never really worked that great in Seattle.

361
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: He was never able to stay healthy and what could

362
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: have been a yearly Pro Bowl maybe Hall of Fame

363
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: like career was just Yeah, it was disappointing. And that's

364
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: really what it's like for Jamal Adams. So you think

365
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: about it because again didn't have his pick. You know,

366
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: you're the one of the best young players in the league,

367
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: one of the best young box safeties in the game.

368
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: You want to get to pick where you No here,

369
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: you go go to Seattle, hope you're happy. H Okay.

370
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: So that's been a little bit of the dark side,

371
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: is that when you don't pick your destination, your happiness

372
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: and your ability to fit in and to be able

373
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: to dominate and play the same way you played in

374
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: your old system, that's a thing, right, that's a thing

375
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: that that that's a that's a worry. That's the only

376
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: worry I have for Micah Parsons, And that suddenly it

377
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: went from I want and I want out and now suddenly, okay,

378
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: here's a day later, and now you know where your

379
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: next four plus years are going to be in the NFL.

380
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 3: Or he'll do the teacher want and get another huge

381
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 3: contract when he's thirty. I mean that might actually happen.

382
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 3: And by the way, I know we got a break here.

383
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,959
Speaker 3: Can I just say, Micah Parsons and all athletes, you

384
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 3: don't fool us with the whole gotta feed my family garbage.

Speaker 1: I'll tell you what Steve yes looking at tonight In

425
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: college football and seeing where where we sit at going

426
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: into Week one. We had the Colorado lost tonight, right,

427
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: we had Boise State losing last night badly. Already, like

428
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: already I'm sitting here thinking of how they like this

429
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: is the way with a new playoff, with the new playoff, right,

430
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: because now it's like, okay, you wait, let things go

431
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: Like with the new playoff, twelve teams are going all right,

432
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: they lost and they lost and that might help my team,

433
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 1: squeak in if we get have a two loss season,

434
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: Like I'm already thinking, not just me, like I think

435
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,719
Speaker 1: Syracuse is gonna get the oh byt Evangeli Heisman Trophy,

436
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: but like like not that serious, but like I'm thinking

437
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: about what the playoff implications of this are already with

438
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: these couple losses. Hey, maybe Colorado's gonna be great and

439
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: maybe that no up they lose to Georgia Tech tonight,

440
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: and okay, Boise State's gonna be that bid snatching team

441
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 1: from the big No. No, Boise State lost, okay, scratch them.

442
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: Like I'm already thinking about playoffs.

443
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 3: So we're already thinking I got to keep an eye

444
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 3: on James Madison. What's going on there? Might be the one.

445
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 3: You know, all twelve teams from last year's playoff were

446
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 3: ranked in this year's AP preseason Top twenty five, including

447
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 3: number sixteen SMU. The SMU football program had not been

448
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 3: preseason ranked in forty years. So actually that's in the

449
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 3: Dallas area, isn't it. I wonder if, because we just

450
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 3: talked about Dallas, it's been what thirty years without going

451
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 3: to an NFC title game? Yeah, I wonder if while

452
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 3: gonna actually stretch longer? What's you asked? What's going to

453
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 3: be longer? And p Sason rankings or the Cowboys? How

454
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 3: long they go without making the NFC the title game?

455
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 3: We got it? Okay. By the way, there is a

456
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 3: late game on FS one right now. It's two and

457
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 3: a half minutes to go. Central Michigan kicked a field

458
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 3: goal and now leads sixteen to fourteen at San Jose State.

459
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: Whoa look at Central Michigan. They're members of my my

460
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: wife's family that went to Central Michigan. They're all over

461
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: they went to I got Central, I got Western, I

462
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: got Eastern. I don't have Northern Michigan but U and

463
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: of course University of Michigan. But nobody in Michigan State.

464
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: No oh no, no, no, no Michigan.

465
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 3: That was the earlier game on FS one today is

466
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 3: Michigan State beating Western Michigan.

467
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a blowout. That was Yeah. I feel

468
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: bad for what because my cousin goes to Western and

469
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: she's on.

470
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 3: The Uh yeah, they really weren't in it.

471
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, she's on the sin. They'll get them back

472
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: in synchronized skating. That trusts me. Western Michigan is really

473
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: really good. Get back in cincro skating.

474
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, synchronized skating.

475
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah. Western Michigan's terrific cincro skate.

476
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: We went to the Sincro Skating champion National Championships a

477
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,959
Speaker 1: year ago. I was in Vegas. What was the hotel

478
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 1: was that they had the big ice rink obviously had

479
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: the big ice rink the Orleans and it was awesome.

480
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: It was awesome.

481
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 3: I seen ice skating at the Orleans.

482
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the best part was because it was you know,

483
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: syncro skating, like you could sit and I got like

484
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: my I got my feet over the chairs in front

485
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: of me, got my arms around us. This is the best.

486
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:18,959
Speaker 1: I love those sporting events.

487
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 3: It's fantastic. Syncro skating two people in the ice at

488
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 3: the same time.

489
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: Oh, this is team syncro. This is team sync. So

490
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: it's like like fifteen f I think sixteen skaters at once.

491
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: I think that's what it is.

492
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 3: So it's it's like what we see with the Summer Olympics,

493
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 3: you know, in the pool, the artistic swimming as.

494
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: They call it now, except it's in skates and it's

495
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: not underwater.

496
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 3: I was unaware of this sport completely.

497
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: If you could skate underwater, that's a new sport entirely.

498
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: I really want to see if you can pull them.

499
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 3: You could do it.

500
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: Once boy really struggling to skate down the ice even

501
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: though they are underwater, very very very slippery down there.

502
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 3: Good lift upside down. I can see this data. It's

503
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 3: still up. Yep, they're not coming up. That's it. Very impressive.

504
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: Once one time, that's it. It's over. So we are

505
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: less than twelve hours away from college football kicking this season.

506
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: The official kicking off of college football with Texas and

507
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: Ohio State right hasn't been a bigger opening game in

508
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: the regular season in so long. Texas now has become

509
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: the betting favorite over Ohio State in the last three hours,

510
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: it was Ohio State by a point point and a half.

511
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: Now it's Texas by a point point in a half.

512
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: And for this game, I'm gonna tell you I'll take Texas.

513
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: I know it's tough Ohio State at home, but looking

514
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: at the quarterbacks, look, arch Manning is arch Manning. I

515
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: think the guy's going to be really good. Now we'll

516
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: get to him a little bit more in detailed a

517
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: minute with a different story. But he's played a lot

518
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: of football, right, He's played enough to come in where

519
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: this is not He's got to get his feet wet

520
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: in front of one hundred thousand fans in the horseshoe.

521
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: All right, arch Manning and Tech, they return a few

522
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: more players.

523
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 3: He has experienced because he's actually played more football than say,

524
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 3: Trey Lance. Uh, Anthony Richardson.

525
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: Oh, who's played more football? Anthony Richardson or Trey Lance?

526
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 1: Who do you think since twenty twenty who's played more football?

527
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 3: Well? That one season Trey Lance played one game? So okay,

528
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 3: all right, in college I'm talking about.

529
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, No, I think I think it's Anthony Richardson.

530
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: I don't think it's close, He's not even close. But look,

531
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,719
Speaker 1: I'll go with arch Manning tomorrow. He's going to get

532
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: better as the game goes on. Look, Ohio State's terrific

533
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: right Caleb Downs. If he was a quarterback, he'd be

534
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 1: the number one pick in the draft, and it's not

535
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: even close. That's how talented he is. Like, Ohio State's

536
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: got the two most talented guys in the country at

537
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver and at safety. Right, Caleb Downs is just

538
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: that good. But arch Manning is going to make more

539
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: plays with his legs as the game goes on. There's

540
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: gonna be more points in this game than you expect.

541
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: And Ohio State's got a lot of moving pieces, right.

542
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: They got a lot of new parts, including their quarterback.

543
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: You got new coaches. There's just a lot for Ohio State.

544
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: And I think as the game goes on, Texas being

545
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: a little bit more experienced and art I'll take arch

546
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: Manning over Julian Saying in game one and give me

547
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: a nice day from arch Manning and Ohio State falls

548
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: to Texas at home thirty one to twenty.

549
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 3: Three, or arch scrambles and fumbles and the game stays

550
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 3: low scoring and any little turnover will mean something for

551
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 3: the next two quarters. And then neither team will be

552
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 3: scoring twenty eight in this game tomorrow. And by the way,

553
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 3: did you notice in the coaches preseason poll they really

554
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 3: have the flair for the dramatic and the television promotion.

555
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 3: Because Texas and Ohio State are one to two in

556
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 3: their preseason fall. Ohio State is number three in ap

557
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 3: beginning of the season, and Ohio State usually with a

558
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 3: great defense last year a sensational defense. I'm guessing a

559
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 3: little more on the lower scoring side for this.

560
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,959
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing about this game, and here's the

561
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: big the scariest thing for college football. What if arch

562
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: Manning stinks? Right, Like, I mean, look, I've seen the

563
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: guy play for that kind of talent. Yeah, what if

564
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: he stinks not just tomorrow, but tomorrow would kick off

565
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: the narrative. If arch Manning stinks, that is a huge

566
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: blow for college football because he's not just a star

567
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 1: player coming into the season that it didn't work out

568
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: for and we move on. Like the entire off season

569
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: nationally has been geared towards arch Manning. He's the star

570
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: of college football, despite the fact you haven't started yet.

571
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: He's the star, his legacy, he is royalty, he is

572
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: the show. He's been built up like there's only one

573
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: option greatness. I don't know how you pivot away from that.

574
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: If arch Manning is not good, right, Like, nationally, you

575
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: need the one or two big stars to raise the

576
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: sport look regionally, college football is always going to be great,

577
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: and it's kind of gone that way the last few years,

578
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: but now with more teams in the playoff, it's gotten

579
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: a bigger deal. Nationally, it's become people on the West

580
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: coast are worried more about results from the East Coast

581
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: and vice versa. But if arch Manning, he's that uniting

582
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 1: factor from coast to coast because he's not just a

583
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: star player. He's related to Eli and Payton, right, he's

584
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: arch Manning, his grandson. He's who we've been hearing about

585
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: for years. This is the guy that is the next

586
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: great superstar, super duperstar in college football. And if he stinks,

587
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: like that's a huge blow coast to coast for the

588
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 1: overall impact that this college football season is gonna have

589
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: on a coast to coast basically, so you just don't say, Okay,

590
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: well he stinks. Now, Hey, let's just hope that Bryce

591
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: Underwood is really good. In Michigan. It doesn't work that way, right,

592
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't work. We've been this has been hyped up

593
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: so much that if he's not good, woo, that that's

594
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: really scary for college football.

595
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 3: Well, if he's really not that good, then that begets

596
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 3: an immediate five part series on the SEC Network answering

597
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 3: that exact question, because they'll still find a way to

598
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 3: churn out the stories that we've been getting all off

599
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 3: season and of course in the week leading up to

600
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 3: this game. I do believe that you and I would

601
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 3: say that we think that's unlikely that he's got the stuff,

602
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,239
Speaker 3: and whether he wins tomorrow or not, he'll have a

603
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 3: fine college career title or not.

604
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. I think he's gonna he's gonna

605
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: be He's gonna be really good, right, but tomorrow if

606
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: he's bad, If he's great tomorrow, that the plot line's gone, right. Wow.

607
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: When you're great against a great team, hey man, look

608
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: out man. I mean you have stat games coming up after.

609
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: But if he's great against a great team, but if

610
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: he's not good, that opens the door, because hey, you

611
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: expect great players to play big and big games, right,

612
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: Great players don't come up small in big games in

613
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: college football, they all come up big right now, the

614
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: NFL is not always the case, but college football, big

615
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: players play big in big games. If he doesn't, that's

616
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: gonna be the narrative of whoa over hyped arch man.

617
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: He's not really good And unfortunately, you're not gonna he's

618
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: not gonna get another shot at that question for the

619
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: month because he's gonna have stat games where it's gonna

620
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: be Yeah, that's great that he's got four touchdowns in

621
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: the first half AG in sam Houston State, but uh okay,

622
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: he's not playing anybody. You know, Eventually, he's going to

623
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,239
Speaker 1: play another big game. But that's a storyline that's going

624
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: to linger for you know, into the you know, into October,

625
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: into the middle of October college football.

626
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought this up as we're talking about

627
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 3: Texas because it's the Longhorns program that has one of

628
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 3: the greatest examples of a great player coming up big

629
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 3: in great games. Vince Young played two of the greatest

630
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 3: Rose Bowl individual efforts I've ever seen, and he did

631
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 3: it in back to back years. As I recall about

632
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 3: twenty years ago, beating Michigan and USC. So yes, the

633
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 3: greats are great because of what they do in the spotlight.

634
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 3: Tim Tebow had a lot of highs. You know, people

635
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 3: talked about Tommy Frasier at Nebraska. Matt Lioner before the

636
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 3: loss to Texas had a lot of highs. It just

637
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 3: went it. This is a spotlight game. It's an odd

638
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 3: thing to say when college football. It's not only months

639
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 3: and months away from the finish of the season. It's

640
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 3: a loss doesn't kill you anymore in college football type

641
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 3: of the season. But to say that the spotlight isn't

642
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 3: there would be just fooling yourself.

00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: result tonight. The good news is Colorado's still pretty good. Right.

729
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: It's they're not a world beating team. They're not terrible, right,

730
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: That's all the predictions have been all. They're gonna be

731
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 1: this good, They're gonna be this bad. The overunder for

732
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: them is five and a half wins. I feel really

733
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: comfortable about going over. Georgia Tech's a pretty decent team, right.

734
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: It's not like they opened up against you know, a

735
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: MAC team or an FCS team and lost at home,

736
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: and it's like tonight, yees, yeah, liked, didn't Army lose

737
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: to a high school team tonight? Didn't they live?

738
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 3: I mean a really good high school state Texas?

739
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah? Uh so, Yes, Georgia Tech is really good. Haines

740
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 1: King had a huge night running the football. It looked

741
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: does Does the Colorado have problems given up three hundred

742
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: yards on the ground? Sure, But Cadence Aalter is a

743
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: pretty good quarterback. He had a pretty good first game

744
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: transfer from Liberty, who was the most sought after guy

745
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,479
Speaker 1: in the portal. Colorado plays in in the Big Twelve.

746
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,439
Speaker 1: The Big Twelve schedule isn't that great. The toughest part

747
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: of their schedules at the end, when the team will

748
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: be in theory playing its best football. They will be

749
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: fine and this will be a victorious year for them

750
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: if they win between six and eight games. And that's

751
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: what I expect them to do. Right, you look at

752
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: this guy, don't win between the the'se got some dudes.

753
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 1: He's got some guys. It's okay, it's not a world

754
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: beating team, but it's also but you know, you can't

755
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: expect it to be Alabama. This is year three of

756
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: building something. And remember where Colorado was before he came in,

757
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: and give d On credit that he has turned this

758
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: program in from an afterthought into something on the national stage.

759
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: They have had a really good last couple of years

760
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: with attention, They've had a good year with talent. They've

761
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: had a good year you know, in winning a little bit,

762
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: but now, okay, you got to be able to sustain it.

763
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: Six to eight wins. That's a really positive It's a

764
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: good season for Colorado and shows you that in a

765
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: year where there's transition, that they are on the way

766
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,439
Speaker 1: up and they're still building towards something really good.

767
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 3: And the way their schedule works this year, the two

768
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 3: games against the preseason top twenty fos in their conference

769
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 3: are the last two games late November, about a month

770
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 3: from now, Colorado is due to play at TCU. We

771
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 3: talked earlier tonight about what TCU could mean for Bill

772
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 3: Belichick's team because that's the Monday night opener TCU at

773
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 3: North Carolina. TCU, though on the road, is favored. So

774
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 3: what will Colorado'll be doing when they have to play

775
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 3: at TCU. Again, if you're not familiar with the Big

776
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 3: Twelve standings, last year, Colorado was in it right toward

777
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 3: the end. There were a lot of teams bunched up

778
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 3: for the lead and a four way tie by the end.

779
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: So that's the good part for Colorado. The bad part is, Wow,

780
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 1: if they run games like they'd run the last minute

781
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,240
Speaker 1: at tonight's game against Georgia Tech. Yeah, okay, they're tanking

782
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: for Arch Manning's younger brother. I don't know who that is,

783
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: but they're tanking for a minute two left to go,

784
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: they're trailing by a touchdown, and you look at some

785
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: of the plays that Colorado ran in the final minute, right,

786
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: they run a bubble screen, they run two hail.

787
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 3: Mary's, and quarterback scramble, a.

788
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: Quarterback scramble, and they don't use either of their last

789
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: two timeouts they go into and they lose this game

790
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: throwing two Hail Mary's on the final couple of plays

791
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: with two timeouts in their pocket. And this doesn't make

792
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: sense at any level. Look, Deon Sanders said, and it's

793
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: not that big a deal. We wanted to save the

794
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: timeouts we got, we got out of We got out

795
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: of bounds on the couple of plays you need to

796
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: get out of bounds. So it's fine, it's not a

797
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: big deal. I'm not gonna talk of this because you

798
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 1: guys want something to talk about. Oh boy, that really

799
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: isn't the case. Man, Take a little bit of responsibility, right,

800
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: Take some responsibility, because when you take off to get

801
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 1: the ball from your twenty yard line with a minute

802
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: two left to go, it's not about getting out of bounds.

803
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 1: It's being able to use the entire field to go down.

804
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: Because you have those two timeouts, you can throw the

805
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: ball and run plays to the middle field and not

806
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 1: stuff just outside the hash marks because if you get

807
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: caught in bounds, you're stuck. Right and that first play, hey,

808
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: couple of yards, all the time ticked off the clock,

809
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: you use a timeout. No, still not going to use

810
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: timeouts and to run two hail Mary's like, how are

811
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: you not calling a play with fifteen seconds left? Let's

812
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: get to the thirty yard line. You're a midfield Let's

813
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: get to the thirty yard Cadence salt is a veteran quarterback.

814
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: He failed by failing to deliver the ball where he

815
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: needed to Pat Sherman the OC. The play calling was

816
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: insane and d not using his timeouts, Like this is

817
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: where attention to detail is a really big thing, and

818
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: this separates the great teams from the also rans. And

819
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: this is the one question I've always had, like, Okay,

820
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: is that attention to detail there for Deon Sanders, because

821
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 1: that's the kind of coach you have to be. And

822
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: there was none of that in the final minute tonight.

823
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 3: And the go ahead touchdown scored with over a minute

824
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 3: to go for Georgia Tech. So after the touchback, you've

825
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 3: got more than a minute to use and two timeouts

826
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 3: to use and they couldn't get pass midfield. By the way,

827
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 3: the late game is a final on FS one. San

828
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 3: Jose State did get the ball back for another field

829
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,919
Speaker 3: goal attempt from fifty six, this time with the second

830
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 3: left that also was wide right. Central Michigan wins sixteen

831
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:42,280
Speaker 3: to fourteen.

832
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: Oh wow, so that's that's two miss field goals.

833
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 3: That's too much like the Army game. Maybe they were

834
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 3: watching the.

835
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: Wow too soon for Army. Come on, Steve, O, that's

Speaker 1: See, but who do you got tomorrow? Texas or Ohio State?

00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,520
