Speaker 2: on some level heartache? Yes, okay, of course, Like I

Speaker 2: I cannot believe you saved that energy for this continue.

79
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes, my good friend, the college football gods smile upon us, Okay,

80
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: specifically smile upon me. You know, after a couple of

81
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: years now of sparring a little bit with you over

82
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: Dylan Roolah. News broke earlier today, Dan Rubinstein, that your

83
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: alma mater, our Oregon Ducks have secured the services of

84
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: one Dylan Riola Royola entered the transfer portal. It was

85
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: clearly a very big news story in our little universe here.

86
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: Dylan Royola has been a name that we've been talking

87
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: about for years. Yeah, Raola goes into the transfer portal.

88
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: It was relatively quiet, I would say, for the last

89
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Lo and behold. Despite some earlier rumors

90
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: that didn't seem as if they were gonna click between

91
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: Ryola and Oregon, he is ending up there at long last, sir, Now,

92
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: I will not drone on any longer. I say the

93
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: gods have smiled upon me though, because I know that

94
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: you're not always a huge fan of Dylan Rowland what

95
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: you've seen from him thus far in his two year

96
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: stay with the Nebraska Cornhusker. So what say you? Now?

97
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see how it works out, what's next?

98
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: No, I love it, Okay, love that I get this.

99
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: Thank you, I know, thank you college football. I love

100
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: that I get this.

101
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 2: So no, I was not a huge fan of watching

102
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: him at Nebraska, and it was a I guess an

103
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 2: impressive start on some level. Nebraska fans were very high

104
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 2: on his potential this season. It quickly went not sideways.

105
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 2: There were a lot that was going sideways about Nebraska

106
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 2: this year. Obviously. I think what he broke is fibula.

107
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: That was the injury he suffered against I want to

108
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: say USC sort of two thirds of the way into

109
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 2: the year. The calculus from Organ's perspective, and as we're

110
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: recording this, we don't know Dante Moore's intentions with regard

111
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: to his NFL future, whether he's coming back or not.

112
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: So the word, the reported word is that Dante MOR's

113
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: decision has little bearing on Dylan Riola in that if

114
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: Dante mor is gone, obviously Dylan Roola would be in

115
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 2: position to compete for the starting job at Oregon next year,

116
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,679
Speaker 2: which is a more stable offensive place than Nebraska, given

117
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 2: offensive line roster, given receivers available to throw, to the

118
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 2: running game, offensive coaches, track record of developing quarterbacks in

119
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: Eugene under this coach, so you understand it from his

120
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: perspective and from Organ's perspective. Certainly, the raw talents, you know,

121
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 2: the arm ability, the physical ability is there, right, is

122
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 2: just a sort of potential play right now that they

123
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 2: were able to be that like program for wandering five

124
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: star quarterbacks who couldn't fully figure it out at a

125
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: place in which they had a lot of pressure.

126
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: The Island on five star toys.

127
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, like the Legacy guy right, the bone Nicks

128
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 2: at Auburn and the Ryola name at Nebraska, you know,

129
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 2: carries weight and so Oregon is a stable place by

130
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: and large compared to the rest of this sport. And

131
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: they say, okay, we'll bring our stability. We'll bring you know,

132
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: we'll have a great defense. We'll have we're returning all

133
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: these players now on defense, their whole defensive line is

134
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 2: coming back. We'll see who else is back on both

135
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 2: sides of the ball. That this is a place that

136
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: we can maximize abilities. And so that's their thinking, and

137
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: that he's willing to sit for a year, and the

138
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: way that Dante mor sat for a year behind Dylan

139
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: Gabriel after he transferred from UCLA and sort of regroup,

140
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: re have, and you know, restart his career. You know,

141
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: he has a reputation of being somewhat difficult, fair or not.

142
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: You know, he was at a bunch of different high schools.

143
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 2: He committed to, I think both Ohio State and Georgia

144
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 2: before committing to Nebraska ultimately. And so I suppose the

145
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: optimist view of Dylan Ryola's time in college football so

146
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 2: far and as a big time high school recruit is

147
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,239
Speaker 2: that he was immature and finding his way and needed

148
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: better guidance in leadership, and perhaps that guidance leadership exists

149
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 2: at Oregon. I think Dan Lanning is something like forty

150
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 2: eight and eight in his time as a head coach

151
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: in Eugene, and so it seems to be a more

152
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 2: plug in play place for talents. I didn't love him

153
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 2: in Nebraska. I don't love starting true freshmen. I love

154
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: when guys at least get a year. Very few of

155
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 2: these guys are ready to come in, especially given lofty

156
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 2: expectations that generally true freshmen who are starting come with.

157
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: There were throws he made that were incredible, but by

158
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: and large I thought he was slow processing. I thought

159
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: he tried to will too many things to happen instead

160
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 2: of letting the game come to him. And I just

161
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 2: I didn't think he was of upper half of the

162
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 2: Big Ten caliber at Nebraska when all was said and done,

163
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 2: when you look at the totality of his time there.

164
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: And so I'm hoping for the best for Oregon first

165
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 2: and foremost. If that happens to be with a successful

166
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 2: dil Roola, so be it. But I don't know. I

167
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: guess part of this is also like dil Roola looking

168
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 2: at the market for like what is the most major

169
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 2: place that I could come in and start immediately, and

170
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 2: the market was like, well, we're not really sure. You know,

171
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 2: there was a lot of like Louisville conversations, which you know,

172
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 2: that's a tick or two below where Oregon has been recently.

173
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: And I think he's looking at this as his sort

174
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 2: of last chance to shine on a major level and

175
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 2: you know, rehabilitate his name and image and likeness for

176
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 2: potential NFL consideration in a couple of years.

177
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, we're recording this a Monday afternoon,

178
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: and as you mentioned, we still don't know what Dante

179
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: More is gonna do. I think people out there have

180
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: had a false assumption that and I guess we'll find

181
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: out for sure if it's false or not. But there's

182
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: been this false assumption that because Ryola has committed now

183
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: to Oregon, therefore it must mean Dante More is going

184
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: pro you know, mostly you, but between the two of us,

185
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: I think we've heard a lot of the contrary that

186
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: Dante might actually be inclined to stay. Now. We don't

187
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: know that this could age very poorly, but I just

188
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: wanted to put that on record. If I'm an Oregon fan,

189
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: I want Dante more to stay. I would much prefer

190
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: Dante Moore be my starter next season with a talent

191
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: that is on hand, then bringing in afresh Dilonariola comes

192
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: from a different place who has some real questions about

193
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: his game right Dilanoil has been very accurate throwing short passes,

194
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: but some of the longer balls mechanics have broken down.

195
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, processing on some of those longer passes

196
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: has not always been great. I think there is a

197
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: lot of cleanup here that needs to go on. If

198
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: Royola is to truly rehabilitate the image and get to

199
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: anywhere close to that five star potential. He's just not

200
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: there yet now, I get it from the Oregon perspective.

201
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: From the Oregon perspective, this is a gamble on potential,

202
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: not so much on production. To that end, I guess

203
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: kind of the opposite of what Signetti is doing at Indiana,

204
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, it is not a bad place to be

205
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: to have a very capable backup quarterback. There are many

206
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: programs around college football that have an issue with that.

207
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: So whether or not he's the backup or the starter,

208
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: this is clearly a developmental play on the Oregon side,

209
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: and for sure on the Roola side, I kind of

210
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: don't get this on the Royal end of things, though,

211
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: If in fact this is a move that ends up

212
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: being you're gonna wait your turn, You're gonna learn behind

213
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: Dante more Lingyah, gonna you're gonna learn this offense, and

214
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: then you're gonna get the keys to it in twenty

215
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: twenty seven. I I don't think I really understand that logic.

216
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: I understand needing to get better. I understand clearly needing

217
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: to do a little bit more to get to that

218
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: five star potential and make yourself a future NFL prospect.

219
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: But my hunch is that there are plenty of places

220
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: where Royola could have gone and played right away, even

221
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: if it wasn't quite at the level of Oregon. I

222
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 1: don't think Liuvill would have would have been a bad stop.

223
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: There are plenty of other programs around college football that

224
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: have a pretty good track record for developing talent. So

225
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: I am very much mixed on this move from his perspective.

226
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: On the Oregon side, it's like it's just money and

227
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: they have a luxury of having a lot of it.

228
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: That's how they've been able to amass the talent that

229
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: they've got on hand.

230
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: I don't think they're paying a lot for him, by

231
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: the way, No, oh no, I don't. I don't think

232
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: they're paying a premium price for him. I think he

233
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 2: looked at the market, looked at what his end goal was,

234
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 2: which is getting drafted in the first round of the

235
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 2: NFL craft. I'm not saying that's a realistic thing, but

236
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 2: I'm saying that's likely his goal sure is getting drafted

237
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 2: in the first round of the NFL draft, and that

238
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 2: you know, Boonix is. I have no idea how good

239
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 2: he is or not good, but I think he's a

240
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: quarterback on a really good NFL the number one seed

241
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 2: in THEFC, right, so even if he is a below

242
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 2: average NFL quarterback, he got drafted in the first round

243
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: and is the number one seed in the AFC playoffs

244
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: and the you know, justin Herbert to like, take your pick.

245
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: I think there were like four or five six Oregon

246
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 2: quarterbacks who started a game this year in the NFL,

247
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 2: and a couple of them were drafted in the first round.

248
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: Mariota obviously. So I'm a big believer in sometimes places

249
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 2: are meaningful that like you thrive in certain places, certain

250
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 2: places have the stability to thrive in through different coaches

251
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: as well, And so from his perspective, I don't think

252
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 2: he's making a ton of money. I think he's probably

253
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 2: you know, taking less money to look at more upside

254
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: long term and if it doesn't work out from Oregon side,

255
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 2: you know, if he's starting next season, if Dante mor

256
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 2: goes pro, they're not paying him a ton. If he

257
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 2: is a backup and shows in practice that he's not

258
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: capable of being a top three Big ten quarterback, top

259
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 2: five Big ten quarterback, they'll go in a different direction. No, Like,

260
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 2: I actually do think it's minimal risk on Oregon's part.

261
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: And you know, maybe they Oregon fully whiffed on every

262
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 2: quarterback they really truly wanted in the portal, But somehow

263
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: that does not strike me as the world we live in.

264
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 2: Given what Organ's been able to do previously.

265
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: If they've been able to convince Royola to come there

266
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: potentially as a backup, and if he knows that going in, YEP,

267
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: I tend to agree on the Oregon side, there's a

268
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: lot of upside here and there's not a lot of risk.

269
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: You have a capable backup at worst if Dante's stays

270
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: and if not, you still got a two year starter

271
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: that's going to take over the rains at quarterback. So

272
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: from that standpoint, I think it works. I just Delan

273
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: Roola has fallen victim to the five star thing, to

274
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: the label, and he has not lived up to that.

275
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: If Oregon can help him get there, then that will

276
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: be a huge win for both of the parties here.

277
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: But I just for as much as I think I

278
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: watch Dilan Aiola's game and I can see the potential,

279
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: I also am very mixed on this, very mixed on

280
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: this from his standpoint, because I just think he needs reps.

281
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: I think he needs more reps. I think he needs

282
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: more reps with a better supporting cast, for sure. I

283
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: mean that's part of the calculation, sure for going to Oregon.

284
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: But if there's potential to have to sit and wait

285
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: a year, I don't like that.

286
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 2: But by the way, speaking of clean break, he's coming

287
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: off of a serious injury and his market yesterday wasn't

288
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 2: what it was when he was a high school senior, right.

289
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 2: I don't think people were just like getting in line

290
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 2: to throw five million dollars at Delan Royola. I don't

291
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 2: you know, he spent time in Arizona, and ASU was

292
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: not making a run at him. There's a lot of

293
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 2: big places that you know have quarterback needs. You know,

294
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: Lsu was not making a run at him, and so

295
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 2: Olemes was not making a run at him. Pending Trinidad

296
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: Chambliss and so Miami, I have no I mean, his

297
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 2: name came up with Miami just because they've been that

298
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 2: team that has gone after a high level.

299
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: We'll get to that. We'll talk about that in a

300
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: little bit.

301
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 2: But it didn't seem like there was actual realistic smoke

302
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 2: with Miami. And maybe I'm wrong and maybe it just

303
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: never came out, but that's telling to me. And we'll see.

304
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: We will see what the thing that I do.

305
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: Like for Riola going to Oregon though, is Oregon. I

306
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: think over the last couple of years, though some of

307
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: the coordinators have come in and kind of put their

308
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: own little spin on the offense. The offense is kind

309
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: of the offense. They have a pretty good identity for

310
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: what they want to do, and so he is stepping

311
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: into stability in terms of what they're trying to run

312
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: the offensive side the ball. He didn't really have that

313
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: at Nebraska. The other thing. And it goes without saying

314
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: going to go to a place like Oregon, but clearly

315
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: a better supporting cast. It's gonna be a better supporting cast.

316
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: If nothing more, he'll have a better line than he

317
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: had in his time at Nebraska, and I you know,

318
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: all quarterbacks tend to benefit from that. So he's not

319
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 1: going to a place where he's going to be surrounded

320
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: by a bunch of adults. Clearly Oregon has assembled a

321
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: ton of talent across the board. It's an embarrassment of riches,

322
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: especially now if you have two quarterbacks in the room,

323
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 1: two former five star quarterbacks in the room. If that

324
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: ends up being the case, so Oregon's in a good spot.

325
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 1: I tend to agree very low risk for them. It

326
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: really is just money on some level. And you'll see

327
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: if you can get the most out of Oroala on

328
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 1: the Royola side, whether he's treating this Oregon situation as

329
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: a year to sit and learn and prove himself, or

330
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: if he's hoping to get the keys right away if

331
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 1: Dante leaves. That remains to be seen at time of recording,

332
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: but clearly one of those stories that we're going to

333
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: need to pay attention to. Now as we go through springball,

334
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: as we get closer to the NFL Draft, as we

335
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: get closer to the twenty sixth season.

336
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 2: And we've seen it, by the way to sort of,

337
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 2: you know, spread it a little bit wider. We've seen

338
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 2: it in this sport where you look at a quarterback

339
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 2: one place and you're like, I think he's pretty good,

340
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 2: and then goes to a place that is a more established,

341
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 2: you know, a better incubator of talent, surrounds a player

342
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 2: with more talent and better coaching, and you know, just

343
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 2: more general comfort, which is, you know what every quarterback needs.

344
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 2: Look at Michael Pennix from Indiana to Washington. Look at

345
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 2: Bo Nicks, right. Look at Fernando Mendoza, right, he was

346
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 2: a pretty good acc quarterback. Cal had pretty good receivers,

347
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 2: pretty good running backs. They had a good year with

348
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 2: Jake Spavital a couple of years ago. You couldn't look

349
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 2: at Fernando Mendoza and say he wasn't good at Cal.

350
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 2: He's a pretty good quarterback. Should have beat Miami a

351
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 2: couple of years ago. Some weird calls at the end there,

352
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 2: but then he goes to a place that is better

353
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 2: for him. Surrounds him with more is a more stable

354
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: place can go in and feel more comfortable in an offense,

355
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: and you thrive. And so we've seen it all around

356
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 2: this sport. It doesn't always work out, but there are

357
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 2: plenty of examples of a guy going to a place

358
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 2: that is better suited to develop a quarterback and it

359
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 2: just works. And so there's that potential there.

360
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: We'll see elsewhere in the transfer portal. Dan is sam

361
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: Levitt the answer for Lane Kiff in an.

362
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 2: LSU Maybe Sam Levit's a good uarterback. Sam Levitt's coming

363
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 2: off of a serious injury. He has a List Frank

364
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 2: situation right, so I don't know if he's even gonna

365
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 2: play in spring ball. But the best of sam Levitt

366
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 2: seems to be aligned with Lane Kiffin. Say whatever you

367
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 2: want about Lane Kiffin, it's likely true, but also Lane Kiffin,

368
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 2: he gets a lot of production and great play from

369
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 2: his quarterbacks. And so Sam Levitt, as somebody who's athletic,

370
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 2: has played in the playoffs, has played for a good

371
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: quarterback developer in Kenny Dillingham has a ton of talent.

372
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 2: I'm curious to see how he bounces back from the injury.

373
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 2: Curious to see how he's surrounded talent wise, I think

374
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 2: lsu I mean, I don't think I know Elis. He

375
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 2: needs to get a lot better along the offensive line.

376
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 2: Receiver has really truly never been a huge problem, though

377
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 2: there have been some drop off years or two at

378
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 2: receiver in terms of production. We'll see what they look

379
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 2: like on the roster there. We will see what they

380
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 2: look like in terms of offensive architecture under Lane Kiffin.

381
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,959
Speaker 2: My assumption is it'll be very successful given his track record,

382
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 2: but the ceiling is very high. The thing that's concerning

383
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 2: to me beyond the injury, was like, he's leaving a

384
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 2: team that he took to the playoff and there were

385
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 2: rumors about it like mid season when he got hurt. Yeah,

386
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 2: and publicly Kenny Dillingham was like, yeah, well, just we

387
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 2: wish him the best. Didn't wasn't there for like senior

388
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 2: night or whatever the year end banquet, And it just

389
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: seemed from the outside his previous team was like, yeah,

390
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens with that guy, but we're moving

391
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 2: forward in a new direction. Like didn't seem like there

392
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 2: was a lot of love loss, but you know, maybe

393
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 2: that's just me reading things.

394
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: Incorrectly. Yeah. I mean the vibe to me was Sam

395
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: Levitt wants to get paid, and that's part of why

396
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: he took a million visits. I mean we joked about

397
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: Jed Fish being on tour. Sam Levitt had his own

398
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: little winter tour going on here as he went to

399
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: a multitude of places to visit and look to his credit,

400
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: he's very much in demand. I understand why people are

401
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: interested in Sam Levitt. He's a talented guy. And who

402
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: are we to say, don't take the visit to Kentucky

403
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: or don't take the visit to Miami and me go

404
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: wherever you want. This to me, seems like it makes

405
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: a lot of sense for LSU. They needed a guy,

406
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: They got their guy. Sam Levitt is immensely talent. He's

407
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: a mobile quarterback. I think to your point, Kiffin's going

408
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: to get a lot out of them.

409
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 2: I texted somebody, by the way, I texted somebody Capitol

410
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 2: w who would know, and was like, Sam Levit and

411
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 2: Landkiffin are perfect for each other in every conceivable football

412
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 2: and life way.

413
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: Okay, which take how you would like, Okay. I think

414
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: it makes a lot of sense in terms of the

415
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: skill set that he brings. I do have questions though

416
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: about what the overall raw your picture is going to

417
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: look like at LSU, you know, and the injury thing.

418
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: The injury thing shouldn't go without mentioning again, he missed

419
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: some time and there is question about when he's going

420
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: to be back out there at one hundred percent. Yeah,

421
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: so this is a big name. LSU obviously went big

422
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 1: game hunting to try and get a guy. They've been

423
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: looking for a while to find who that quarterback was

424
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: going to be. Sam Levitt now is going to be

425
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: your quarterback at LSU. Now with that being said, DJ

426
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: Lagway quote unquote committed to Baylor, though I don't think

427
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: he has signed, and he is still taking visits. So

428
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: not fully committed, not fully committed, but just commit. Yeah,

429
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: half print deuced. Knight, the very talented transfer from Auburn

430
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: is taking his talents to Old Miss. You may recall,

431
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: I think we mentioned it in passing that Austin Simmons,

432
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: previously at Old Miss, signed with Miszoo. So we got

433
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of quarterback musical chairs going on in

434
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: the SEC and in the South.

435
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 2: But also Trinidad. Chambliss and his attorneys are fighting in

436
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 2: the courts or are about to start fighting in the

437
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 2: courts for eligibility in twenty twenty, so that's correct.

438
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: His initial waiver was denied, Yeah, was denied, but he

439
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: is going to file suit and see if he's able

440
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: to stick around. Honestly, go pro. Somebody would take a

441
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: chance on Trinidad Chambliss the way he closed out his season.

442
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: But I'm not a scout. I just play one on TV.

443
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 2: Honestly, go back to Ole Miss and Barry Lane Kiffin

444
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 2: when you play against LSU or that or that.

445
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: This of course has an open question now attached to it,

446
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: which is what is Miami going to do? Miami Hurricane

447
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: is about to play in the colleg football Playoff National

448
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: Championship Game. Cars and back cannot come back for an

449
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: eighth year. Who's gonna play their quarterback next season? There

450
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: have been plenty of names that I think have been

451
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: attached to that opening. Some have been Sam Leven, others

452
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: have been Dylan Royal. What about ty Simpson? Tye Simpson's

453
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 1: an interesting name out there. Ty Simpson declared from Alabama

454
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: for the NFL Draft, but that hasn't stopped Miami in

455
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: each of the previous two seasons. We saw it most

456
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 1: recently with Carson Beck declared then came back going to

457
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: Miami getting paid. We saw it the year prior with

458
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: cam Ward declaring but then ultimately transferring to Miami as well.

459
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 2: A lot of big like engaged, isn't married energy for

460
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 2: Miami game?

461
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot going on there, and some of the

462
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: numbers that have been thrown out have been making their

463
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: way across social media are preposterous that perhaps somebody like

464
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 1: ty Simpson could command six and a half million dollars

465
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: to stay in school. Good work if you can get it, man,

466
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 1: good work, if you can get it. So right now,

467
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: if I am a betting man and I am, my

468
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: guess would be that they're going to try to lower

469
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: Tye Simpson out of the NFL, bring him down to

470
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: Coral Gables. But it remains to be seeing which direction

471
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 1: the Canes are going to go next our quarterback. Yeah.

472
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 2: We also don't again have a clear picture of which

473
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 2: quarterbacks have declared for the NFL Draft, which I think

474
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 2: would affect Ti Simpson's decision making obviously. And the other

475
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 2: reminder is that a school like Miami, who has had

476
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 2: the kind of success it has had with Carson Beck

477
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 2: and prior to that, cam Ward can go to a

478
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 2: lot of quarterbacks representatives in the next four days or so,

479
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 2: or I guess there's an extended period, I don't know,

480
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 2: next few days for non national championship playing quarterbacks four

481
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 2: days or so and say we're interested, if he's interested,

482
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 2: and they can just pop into the portal with a

483
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 2: do not contact tag and end up at Miami. So

484
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 2: I am not reporting on anything. There are a number

485
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: of returning quarterbacks who would very clearly see what's happening

486
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 2: in Miami as a more attractive destination than the school

487
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 2: at which they're currently playing.

488
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: In other portal news, both Cam Coleman and Hollywood Smothers

489
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: are going to Texas. Yes, Texas lost a couple guys,

490
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: but they bring in the top receiver in the portal

491
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: and Cam Coleman, who comes over from Auburn. Hywood's Smothers

492
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: is a bit of a home run hitter at running back.

493
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: They had an opening there. Hiwood's Moothers coming over from

494
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: NC State to Texas.

495
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 2: Technically coming over from Alabama. Your favorite moments from the

496
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 2: Hollywood Smothers Alabama era are but mine was looking at

497
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 2: the tweet and saying huh, all right, Hollywood smothers Alabama. Okay,

498
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 2: that was I guess that was the highlight.

499
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: Trey Wisner is going to FSU, which is why they

500
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: had that opening to begin with. So they get two Biggins.

501
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 2: And by the way, CJ. Baxter to Kentucky. I want

502
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 2: to say as well, yeah from the Texas.

503
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: In a lot of movement out of Texas. But they're

504
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: clearly doing their part two backfill. I will also add

505
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: at this point in time that Notre Dame had been

506
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: stone quiet on the transfer portal side. Yeah, made a

507
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: run at Nick Marsh that did not work out. He

508
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: ended up at Indiana Instead. They are going with Quincy Porter,

509
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: the former five star who was recently on the roster

510
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: at Ohio State. He has three years left I believe

511
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: of eligibility, if nothing more. Two catches in his time

512
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: at Ohio State last season, so they are clearly looking

513
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: at this in terms of potential. He's a big kid

514
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: six four two ten. I think projects as a vertical threat,

515
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: somebody that hopefully can blow the top off the defense. Also,

516
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: he's a bigger guy again, six' four seems like the

517
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:30,479
Speaker 1: type of dude who can go up and win some

518
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: of those contested fifty to fifty, balls which would be

519
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: nice in The Notre dame. Offense Notre dame also adds

520
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: Key On, keeley who is back now The, irish originally

521
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: committed to The irish as a five star a couple

522
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: of years, back was At, alabama is now going back

523
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: up To South, bend projected as one of the top

524
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: edge rushers in this. Class AND i also saw THAT dj,

525
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: McKinney the cornerback From, colorado most recently Of, colorado has

526
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 1: announced his intentions to go and play At Notre. Dame

527
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: So Notre dame being, picky they've already got a pretty

528
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: good roster. Assembled, Personally i'd like for them to do

529
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: something on the interior defensive. LINE i think that's where

530
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: they need to help next. Season, okay but right now

531
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: a time of, recording this is where we're. AT a

532
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: couple guys taking their talents To South.

533
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 2: Bend, yeah and, look we're gonna have these when you

534
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 2: look at you, know schools Like Notre, dames schools Like

535
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 2: texas you just. Mentioned by the, way we're Leek brown

536
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 2: also in that Back Bayley brown yep ye with H,

537
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 2: NOW i Guess Hollywood's moothers And Cam coleman out, wide

538
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 2: and they lose Like texas is going to lose huge

539
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 2: names from their recruiting time who didn't necessarily produce right,

540
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 2: away BECAUSE i think a lot of AND i use

541
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 2: this word a lot and a lot of the, calculus

542
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 2: a lot of the, budgeting whatever you want to. Say

543
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 2: and this is true Of, oregon WHO'S i think down

544
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 2: about twenty. Players we've seen these kinds of is it

545
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 2: exidi exids IS i don't, KNOW i can barely read,

546
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 2: Ty but places Like, georgia places Like, bama, right they're

547
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 2: not going to pay top dollar for guys who sit

548
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 2: on the bench for two years if you're not contributing,

549
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 2: quickly and these guys want to start and start the

550
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 2: clock on THEIR nfl draft. Profiles you know you're going

551
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 2: to see the like it's best for everybody here to move.

552
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 2: On AND i just think you're going to see more

553
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 2: and more of. That And i'm Sure Notre dame's paying

554
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 2: its current roster a very healthy market, deal and you

555
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 2: know they're not going to Pay they're not going to

556
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 2: like dip into the portal and take twenty five kids every.

557
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 2: Year it's just too expensive a proposition to recruit over.

558
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 2: Guys you're paying a lot of. Money SO i don't.

559
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 2: KNOW i think it's good for these places to be.

560
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 2: CHOOSY i think it's good for guys who come in

561
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 2: and realize that they're still on the third string two

562
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 2: three years in to go find a better. Opportunity BUT

563
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 2: i think that's JUST i think that's why we're seeing

564
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 2: so much movement from a lot of these big. Places

565
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: and Obviously texas had some question marks about how much

566
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 2: pop they were getting from running back and receiver last,

567
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 2: year and you, know moving forward and Camp, COLEMAN i

568
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 2: DON'T i don't think it was. CHEAP i don't think

569
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 2: there was a bargain at getting Cam coleman in some

570
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 2: of the schools he was visiting and speaking with And

571
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 2: hopie pops with Arch manning AND i forget Whatever Raja

572
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 2: bell's kid's name, is who's coming in at quarterback? Now, Diabell, Diabell.

573
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 2: Diabell but you, know it's it'll be cool to See

574
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 2: Cam coleman in an offense that will do everything they

575
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 2: possibly can to get him the, ball Like auburn did

576
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 2: at its. Best they just didn't have the quarterback play.

577
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 2: Consistently we'll see If arch is more consistent with a

578
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 2: top tier receiver at his. BEST i don't. KNOW i

579
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 2: think it could be quite. FUN i don't know what

580
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 2: else is jumping out to. You portal, WISE usc has

581
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 2: been pretty. Active Penn state is obviously bringing in a

582
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 2: Decent big twelve team to man its. ROSTER i don't.

583
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 2: Know Virginia tech is continually being. Active we got questioned

584
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 2: Dock meyer and we're going to.

585
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: Start, yeah that actually okay when we shift gears, here

586
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: look a lot more to come on the transfer portal.

587
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: Side there's still a number of names That dan AND

588
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,959
Speaker 1: i are both. Tracking we obviously need to pay attention

589
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: to What Dante moore is going to. Do that could

590
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: HAVE i, think real significance both in terms of what

591
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: goes down At oregon and the knock on. Effect could

592
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: be something with Ty. Simpson does he stay in the,

593
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: draft does he decide you want to come back to.

594
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: College there's a whole bunch of other stuff here THAT

595
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: i think remains to be, Seen so keep it. Here

596
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: we will do our part to keep you up the

597
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,280

00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 2: many teams are actually going to be a lot of

612
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,080

614

00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 2: a conclusion together ABOUT i Think Tony petiti wants guarantees

616
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 2: that they'll go to twenty four in a couple of.

617
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 2: Years if they go to, sixteen this. Year, yeah these

618
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 2: guys are just gonna just drive this sport into.

619
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: Hell can you imagine what it's going to do to

620
00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: us if it's a twenty fourteen?

621
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 2: Playoff, well basically what's going to happen Is Penn state

622
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 2: has a better path to the playoff in terms, of you,

623
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 2: know the potential of getting automatic bids from The big,

624
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 2: ten and there will be more in The Big ten

625
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 2: than what will come from THE. Acc so in that,

626
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 2: regard it's an easier. Path IT'S i think an easier

627
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 2: path For Virginia tech in terms of the depth at

628
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 2: the top of THE acc right, now especially With Florida

629
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 2: state doing god knows what in terms of roster.

630
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: Building, yes speaking of the, portal you AND i were

631
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: kicking that one. AROUND i have no idea What Florida

632
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: state is. Doing are they going to go into the

633
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: year With Ashton daniels as the starting? QUARTERBACK i don't

634
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: Mind Ashton, daniels by the.

635
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 2: WAY i think he's decent and was just at a

636
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 2: catastrophic point In stanford's, timeline and you, know made plays

637
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 2: For auburn at the end of the year last. YEAR

638
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 2: i don't love it as a LONG i don't love

639
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 2: the long term seeming plan For Florida state right, now

640
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 2: or you don't SHORT i just. PLAN i don't Dislike Ashton.

641
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 2: DANIELS i think he can be pretty good. CONTINUE i

642
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 2: don't know IF i Love Gus miles on calling that,

643
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 2: offense BUT i, mean if you're trying to get to ten,

644
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 2: wins if You're Florida state and THE, ACC i don't.

645
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 2: KNOW i think there are different.

646
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: Routes, well the point is that THE acc is is

647
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: there Right it's there for the getting and you've Got,

648
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: Miami you've got a school like AN smu that has

649
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 1: done very well over the last couple of. YEARS i

650
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: have no idea what's going on With clemson right. Now

651
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: The North carolina experiment is going to take at least another.

652
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: Year virginia kind of came out of. Nowhere maybe they

653
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: can continue and build on some of that. Success BUT

654
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: i think you're looking around the landscape and the point

655
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,240
Speaker 1: about how many playoff teams gets in is certainly, valid

656
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: but just in terms of the, pathway and it seems

657
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: to me like it's much easier for AN acc team

658
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 1: at this point in, time especially IN acc that's kind

659
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: of all over the, place so right, Now i'm a.

660
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: Recording my bet would be On James franklin In Virginia. Tech,

661
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: okay just BECAUSE i think it's easier to get to

662
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 1: the playoff through THE acc than it is through The Big.

663
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 2: Ten, okay. Fair it's interesting BECAUSE i, mean just more

664
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,399
Speaker 2: broadly speaking about the nature of this, question is we're

665
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 2: in a golden era of measuring stick situations between WHAT

666
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 2: usc And oklahoma With lincoln rileyep BETWEEN lsu And Ole.

667
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 2: Miss now Between Penn state And Virginia. Tech maybe it

668
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 2: seems like there's some bad blood among The utah fans

669
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 2: About Kyle whittingham leaving for another job In. Michigan SO i,

670
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 2: know golden era of bad blood measuring stick. Situations i'm

671
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 2: going to Say Penn. State i'm going to Say Penn

672
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 2: state BECAUSE i am still a believer in program. Ceiling

673
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 2: i'm still a believer in what you can do with the,

674
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 2: roster And i'm a believer in. Look Matt campbell was

675
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 2: basically a cyborg cam scataboo scataboo scataboo performance last, season

676
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four season from making The Collegeable, playoff,

677
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 2: Obviously James franklin made the final four At Penn. State

678
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 2: Penn state has been more consistently a place where teams

679
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 2: can win big Than Virginia. Tech So i'm gonna go

680
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:14,720
Speaker 2: With Penn. State it's a more meaningful institution to build

681
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 2: top ten classes upon each, other and that is the

682
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 2: surest way to at least get to the, playoff as

683
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 2: difficult as a road that Includes, Indiana Ohio, State, oregon

684
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 2: my Beautiful Minnesota Golden gophers in twenty twenty, six take your. Pick,

685
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 2: Yeah i'm gonna Say Penn state because of that, CEILING i,

686
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 2: think is my answer right.

687
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: Now, YEAH i mean THE x factor Is Matt campbell

688
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: is at a place now with you, know boatloads more

689
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: in terms of resources than his previous. Stop and that

690
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 1: is what you are betting on if you Are Pat,

691
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: kraft if you're A Penn, stater putting a guy like,

692
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: that still very, young had a really good track record

693
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: at each of his previous two stops of doing more with,

694
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: less which is essentially the argument Against James, franklin the

695
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,919
Speaker 1: fact that he could not do more with more down

696
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: the stretch in his time in state. College that's why

697
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: he's now In. Blacksburg so from that, STANDPOINT i think

698
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: you like it if you're A Penn state or if

699
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: you're rooting On Matt campbell, here if you think that

700
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: he is the answer to the, QUESTION i just think

701
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: in terms of getting it off the ground, quicker it's Probably.

702
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: Franklin At Virginia. Tech he basically brought the best of

703
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: The Penn state roster with. Him not to say That

704
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: campbell didn't do that To Penn state From Iowa, state

705
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: BUT i think the depth of talent That franklin got

706
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 1: in very short order At Virginia tech had a little

707
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: bit of a head start taking that job before things really.

708
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: BROKE i think that suits him. Well just in terms

709
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: of the answer to this, QUESTION i have bigger questions

710
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: About franklin longer term At Virginia, tech and because it

711
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: seems like he is building the exact same machine there

712
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: that he did At Penn. State if it's going to

713
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: produce results above and beyond what we saw In state

714
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 1: call dat remains to be. Seen but strictly in terms

715
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: of who wins the game, FIRST i think it's It's Franklin.

716
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: Already the answer Is. Franklin Because franklin did win a

717
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 1: playoff game in his time At Penn, state but let's

718
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: Go franklin At Virginia tech for.

719
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 2: Me, yeah and we still don't for sure know who

720
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 2: his quarterback is going to. Be, Right Ethan gronkmeyer is

721
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 2: crystal ball there at time of, recording but is not. Committed, yes,

722
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 2: right that's. Right so then you're, Like, okay who's closer

723
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 2: to being a playoff? Quarterback Rock goback to Or Ethan,

724
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 2: Grounkmeyer which is a conversation we all knew we'd be

725
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 2: having right. Now but, YEAH i THINK i give the

726
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 2: nod To Penn state, here BUT i don't think either

727
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 2: one of these teams is making it this coming. Year

728
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 2: unless we go to, like you, know sixteen twenty four,

729
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 2: teams then everybody's making it all?

730
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: Right another question than give you a little sound? There why?

736
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,359

Speaker 1: generally roots for. Underdogs i've been enjoying The indiana story all,

Speaker 2: Movie but we do need to have a man on

764
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 2: the inside who has completely hacked all of the footage

765
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,839

Speaker 1: the sports world that has just suddenly sold to. You

Speaker 1: generally goes a little bit, still it wouldn't be the

783
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: first time that The cinderella story or the it person

784
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: or player or whatever suddenly is a little too much

785
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: tired of hearing about it and you decide to flip

786
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: to a one to eighty and start hating. Autumn, Right

787
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: this would be like just the next the next example

788
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,280
Speaker 1: in a long list of examples where this is happening

789
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: college football or sports as a. Whole H they haven't

790
00:41:56,160 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: want anything. Yet this isn't An alabama. Situation alabama was

791
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:04,919
Speaker 1: winning all those. Titles undersave, it they didn't win. Yet

792
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: it still is just kind of a cool. Story And

793
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: signette's been getting his due and rightfully. So BUT i

794
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: think you gotta wait until they actually win, something i.

795
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: E national. Championship the fact that they have made it

796
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 1: to this game they are favored by a touchdown and

797
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: a half a time of. RECORDING i think you gotta

798
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: wait until next. Season let's reevaluate, Then, jonathan and see

799
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: how you. Feel because they win a national, championship then

800
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: you can start. Talking you, know it seems like they

801
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 1: start off hot again next year With Josh hoover And

802
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: nick marsh and whoever they brought in via the transfer.

803
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: Portal then it's, like then it. Start it's fair to

804
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: start feeling those. Feelings BUT i think we gotta. Wait

805
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 1: that's just my.

806
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 2: Opinion, also like forget About. Signetti obviously everybody Wants Kurtz

807
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 2: signetti to be their. Coach Like Fernando mendoza is a

808
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 2: very likable quality dork playing quarterback For. Indiana, yes, right

809
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 2: he's like he's so. Inoffensive he seems to be like

810
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 2: very very, polite like sprinted After Dan lanning after they

811
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 2: won that, game to shake his hand and say good

812
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 2: things about him or say good things to, Him like

813
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 2: he's just he's a likable quality dork who is now

814
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 2: playing for national. CHAMPIONSHIP i would love to know more

815
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 2: about what went down AT. CAL i have heard, rumors,

816
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 2: yes about what went down At cal with regard to

817
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 2: like not being guaranteed a starting spot with the five

818
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 2: star quarterback coming in and your guy. JKS i only

819
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 2: say your guy because you're very proud of learning the pronunciation.

820
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 1: Pool, yeah, yes.

821
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 2: Correct curious about that because he doesn't seem like a

822
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 2: guy who would make a decision to leave after starting

823
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 2: for a couple of.

824
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: Years, lightly.

825
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 2: The overdog thing is, interesting BUT i don't think it's

826
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,240
Speaker 2: it can happen right. NOW i think we have to

827
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 2: sort of see the season through to see how they,

828
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 2: are how they comport, themselves how they do or don't Throttle,

829
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 2: miami and go from. There BUT i think we enjoy

830
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 2: this right as it's.

831
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: Going we also got a question here From, sean one

832
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,280
Speaker 1: of our premium for, ballers who has a question About

833
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 1: Kurt signetti and whether or not he made a deal

834
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: with The. Devil did he give his soul in exchange

835
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: for this? Season this isn't much of a, question BUT

836
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: i do have something to add on. This, OKAY, a

837
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: if he did make a deal with The, devil he

838
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: negotiated one hell of a buyout B. B the secret

839
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: sauce to WHAT i think we are seeing right now With.

840
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: Signetti it's been a masterclass in fundamentals and roster, efficiency full.

841
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: Stop AND i get that it feels like. Magic it

842
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: feels like magic to. Me i'm sure it feels like

843
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: magic to a bunch of The indiana fans out, There

844
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 1: but this is truly what happens when you create the

845
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 1: type of culture that is highly disciplined and based on

846
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 1: production over promise and we are seeing the absolute best

847
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:05,320
Speaker 1: version of that, blueprint and so it's very blue. Collar

848
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 1: it's not a lot of. Flash but whenever you can

849
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: win The Big, ten reach to reach and win the

850
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: college football playoff semi, final and do so in this

851
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: short period of. Time, yeah even though it feels like

852
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 1: there is pixie dust here and there's probably a, little

853
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 1: this IS i think just the best possible testament to

854
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 1: having a culture in place that's really, disciplined where there's mutual,

855
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: respect where guys are playing for one. Another this is

856
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 1: the epitome of really really good team, football AND i

857
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,439
Speaker 1: don't think it's anything. More, now there are some Fun

858
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: twitter rumors out, there, okay about how the pixie dust is,

859
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: manifesting but that. ASIDE i just it's not a deal

860
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: with the. Devil he's just really good at, this and

861
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: he has found the right guys that have bought in.

862
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 1: Completely he's got good coordinators around. Him they're very good

863
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: at scouting the. Portal he, himself in his time At

864
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 1: alabama has been lauded for his to go out there

865
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:04,479
Speaker 1: and scout, recruits even guys on the. TEAM i, mean

866
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: he just happens to be very good at this and

867
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: now give him some resources and give him the opportunity At.

868
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 1: Indiana he's making the most of. It that's, okay that's the.

869
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 2: Story, well this is what you have to, believe, though

870
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 2: you have to believe if you don't believe that there's

871
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 2: anything a, MISS i don't believe there's anything in a. Miss,

872
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 2: no you kind of have to believe That Kurt signetti

873
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 2: is the best talent evaluator and. Coach, Ever, no you.

874
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: Don't, yes you do ever.

875
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 2: Without coaching at a power for place as a head. Coach,

876
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 2: ever without major level coaching experience as a head, coach

877
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 2: he is going to be an overdog to win the

878
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 2: national championship in year. Two Nick saban won a national

879
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 2: championship AT. Lsu before he won in it was what

880
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 2: year three At, alabama right Beating. Texas so what they

881
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 2: lose To utah in The Sugar bowl year two and

882
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 2: then they go whatever seven and five in year. One

883
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 2: that's a different. Era it's a different portal. Era If

884
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 2: Nick saban existed in the portal era when he you

885
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 2: know where his you, Know alabama, stop he would have

886
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 2: this team competing for national championship in year two as.

887
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 2: Well But alabama is Not indiana the resources Of alabama

888
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 2: in the mid to late two.

889
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 1: Thousands it's just a different.

890
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 2: PLACE i think you have to fully believe, that because

891
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 2: it's just it's that, unprecedented especially given the depth of

892
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 2: The Big, ten given that all of these major places have,

893
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 2: money and a lot of them have really good, coaches

894
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 2: and he is embarrassing them all except For Penn.

895
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 1: State.

896
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 2: Weirdly, yeah, yeah that you just you have to put

897
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 2: his two year performance up against anybody's, ever given the

898
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 2: level of difficulty in turning something around Like. Indiana so

899
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 2: you have to believe that he is in the shortest of.

900
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 2: Lists not in terms of like dynastic. Careers there's dynasty word,

901
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 2: again thank you very. Much right that you look at you,

902
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 2: know there's coaches everywhere at these major schools that have

903
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 2: won multiple national, Championships like that's a different, conversation but

904
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 2: just in terms of what he's done in two years

905
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 2: at a place like, this his singular coaching immediate coaching

906
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 2: talent has to be regarded as shortlist best. Ever and

907
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 2: so if you believe, that then here we. Are if

908
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 2: you don't believe, that then that's when you're, like there's

909
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 2: a man on the inside at all the platform that the.

00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 1: Level, ever, WELL i think it goes without saying that

923
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: what he's done via the portal is in its own.

924
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 2: Strategy of, course of, course it's this ERA i get.

925
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: It you, KNOW i, mean it's it's difficult to compare

926
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 1: eras because each area is a little bit, different and

927
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,320
Speaker 1: this portal thing is still relatively, new and we have

928
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 1: seen different versions of acquiring talent through the. Portal on

929
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 1: one side of, it you've got What diannis tried to

930
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 1: do At. Colorado mixed results, there right to say the.

931
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 1: Least But i'd say. So it's it's definitely been pushing the,

932
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: limits and we've seen other schools kind of go that,

933
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: route either out of necessity or just out of, philosophy

934
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,919
Speaker 1: to try and just load everything up with as many

935
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: transfers as you. Can that's one. Approach the other, IS

936
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:56,839
Speaker 1: i think a little bit. More you're like. Spearfishing You're

937
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: Ohio state going out spending a lot on a couple

938
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 1: guys that you think win you a national. Championship that.

939
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 1: Worked signetti has sort of adapted more to that side of.

940
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:07,800
Speaker 1: THINGS i think needed a little bit more help Than Ohio.

941
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 1: State there wasn't as much talent on, hand but the

942
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 1: guys that he has gone, after, again it's production over,

943
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:16,919
Speaker 1: promise and he has proven very adept that assimilating those

944
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:21,439
Speaker 1: guys into his. System, so whether it's talent, evaluation whether

945
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:25,760
Speaker 1: it's talent, development whether it's just culture of discipline getting

946
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: buy in right, away it's some combination of those things, That,

947
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 1: Yeah signette's on a, LIST i just don't know which.

948
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: One i'm a little hesitant to say he's one of

949
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 1: the best ever at evaluating talent because we're only in

950
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: your Two but if this, continues for let's say five,

951
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 1: years if we continue to see this run continue like

952
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: this at that, point, yes it's not just, Luck, no

953
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: it is not a. Fluke and for sure he's got

954
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,240
Speaker 1: to be on one of those evaluator lists full. Stop

955
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,359
Speaker 1: BUT i just need more. DATA i need you, know, sorry.

956
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 2: You know right now in this era of the coaches

957
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 2: who have tried to overhaul rosters immediately and, win especially

958
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 2: coming from jobs as head coaches elsewhere in college. Football

959
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,800
Speaker 2: so like Disregarding Bill, belichick he is a better current

960
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 2: coach Than Rich. Rodriguez he's a better current coach Than Dion.

961
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:16,399
Speaker 2: Sanders there are, players there are coaches who have tried

962
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 2: to bring in players you, know in the thirty forty

963
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 2: range in a portal class or something like, that and

964
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 2: have done everything they can to succeed in non huge

965
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 2: conferences at non like disastrous places Like indiana has traditionally,

966
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 2: been and he has succeeded ten times to the point

967
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 2: that those other guys Have and SO i just, look

968
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 2: he's obviously a product of the current, era but it's

969
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 2: so fully unprecedented and just in terms of evaluation that

970
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 2: every single one of these guys hit seemingly.

971
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,240
Speaker 1: It's pretty close to. It, okay so not an overdog,

972
00:51:55,320 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: yet but it's pretty. Close let's move on another, Question,

973
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 1: Dan let's go to this one From, thomas one of

974
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:09,840
Speaker 1: our premium for. Ballers, yes which teams exceeded your expectations

975
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty? Five? Oh, okay he, says obviously the

976
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 1: team's playing for the national, championship but who? Else and then,

977
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 1: conversely which teams are you most disappointed in this? Season

978
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: so this could mean a number of different. Things, yeah

979
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 1: doesn't mean he needed to win a conference or get

980
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 1: to the, playoff but teams that exceeded, expectations teams that.

981
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 1: DIDN'T i have a short list for. Me you kick

982
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,800
Speaker 1: it over to, you, though to start, up who exceeded

983
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 1: your expectations and who?

984
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 2: Didn't Texas tech certainly exceeded my, Expectations arizona exceeded my.

985
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 2: Expectations virginia exceeded my. Expectations i'm trying to think of

986
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 2: just the positive. Ones houston definitely. EXCEEDED i think they improved.

987
00:52:57,880 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 1: LIST i, mean there are a bunch Of big twelve

988
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 1: schools that actually think are on this list for, me

989
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,720
Speaker 1: But HOUSTON i think is chief among.

990
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 2: Them, YEAH i Thought indiana would be really, good but not.

991
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 2: This indiana exceeded my expectations in THE. SEC i Think,

992
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 2: oklahoma given their, Schedule, yeah even THOUGH i didn't love their,

993
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 2: offense finishing in the top ten the regular, season that

994
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:26,760
Speaker 2: exceeded my. Expectations i'm trying to think who else THAT'S

995
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 2: i think Where i'm. AT i THINK i Liked vanderbilt

996
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 2: coming into the. YEAR i don't know IF i like

997
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 2: them top, fifteen BUT i like.

998
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: Them, YEAH i don't think either one of us liked

999
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: them this. Much all, Right so for, me some of

1000
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 1: the ones that were DISAPPOINTING i think are fairly. Obvious

1001
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: Like Penn state was, Disappointing Florida i'm. Disappointing clemson was very.

1002
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 1: Disappointing Florida state is still. DISAPPOINTING i have no idea

1003
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 1: what they're. DOING i have no idea What Florida state

1004
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: is doing right.

1005
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 2: Now right.

1006
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 1: In terms of, teams though that exceeded, expectations you bring

1007
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 1: up two that are have to be at front of the. List.

1008
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 1: Houston huge year For houston And Willie Fritz. Oklahoma say

1009
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: what you went about the, offense But oklahoma to get

1010
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:10,399
Speaker 1: to the playoff with that schedule is damn. Impressive mm, hmm,

1011
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:15,319
Speaker 1: absolutely above and. Beyond. ABSOLUTELY i will Put Mississippi state

1012
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: in here.

1013
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,840
Speaker 2: Too, YEAH i, agree you, know crawl before you.

1014
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 1: Walk finish five and, eight whatever it, was wasn't necessarily

1015
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: the best, season but played whistle to. WHISTLE i liked

1016
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 1: WHAT i saw At Mississippi state and leads me to

1017
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: think that maybe there could be a brighter future. AHEAD

1018
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 1: i look at a team like The Washington huskies nine

1019
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:44,320
Speaker 1: wins season right finished nine to. Four, Yeah washington looks

1020
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 1: like they're going to keep their coach or excuse me, what,

1021
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: well looks like they're gonna kill and quarterback and. QUARTERBACK

1022
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 1: i think What washington did this season was damn impressive to,

1023
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 1: me and they kind of exceeded my.

1024
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 2: EXPECTATIONS i, mean they didn't do much against the best

1025
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 2: teams on, schedule and they lost one of the most

1026
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 2: catastrophic performances against an average. Wisconstantine but, yes by and,

1027
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,720
Speaker 2: large it seemed like they took a step forward considering

1028
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 2: where that roster was After kalin de, BOR i.

1029
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 1: Agree the one that you did not mention THAT i

1030
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 1: think needs to be at the top of the absolute

1031
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 1: top of this. List is The bay disappointing or, no,

1032
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 1: no no impressed exceeding expectations B Yu, YEAH, BYU i

1033
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:31,280
Speaker 1: mean look to lose your quarterback that late in summer

1034
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 1: and still find a way to be on the cusp

1035
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:39,799
Speaker 1: of playoff eligibility is wild with a true freshman quarterback

1036
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 1: to get to and play in The big twelve title

1037
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 1: game and then to be on that just you, know

1038
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 1: first two or three out line with respect to the

1039
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:54,959
Speaker 1: Playoff that to, me above and beyond was the team

1040
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: THAT i was most impressed by who exceeded my.

1041
00:55:56,719 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 2: EXPECTATIONS i Think miami to various, degrees he's exceeded our.

1042
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,279
Speaker 2: Expectations you did not have, THEM.

1043
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 1: I THINK i was out of MY i Had miami

1044
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 1: eight and.

1045
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 2: Four, yeah you didn't have them playing for THE i

1046
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 2: mean if you said you didn't have them playing for

1047
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 2: THE Acc, championship you would have been right because they

1048
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:14,839
Speaker 2: did not play for THE Aec. Championship AND i guess

1049
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 2: on that level Sidebar duke weirdly exceeded. Expectations they won THE.

1050
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 2: Acc they took an unorthodox path to getting, there so

1051
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 2: they exceeded our. Expectations But miami to this, level even

1052
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 2: IF i Had miami competing for THE ACC i did

1053
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 2: not have them competing for the national championship in Late.

1054
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 2: January so they exceeded our. Expectations Carson beck honestly exceeded my.

1055
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 2: Expectations even though they haven't been an explosive downfield passing,

1056
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 2: attack which you know was in doubt given his his elbow.

1057
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 2: Rehab he's been an enormous winner For. Miami won the

1058
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 2: game with his legs Against ole miss in the in

1200
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 1: say to this part of the, country to this. State

1201
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: Penn state And Joe paterna was an, institution an, institution

1202
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,120
Speaker 1: the way that came crashing, down in the manner in

1203
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:22,040
Speaker 1: which it came crashing. DOWN i talked about this on the.

1204
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 1: SHOW i remember it. Vividly but there's this moment with sports.

1205
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 1: Stories you, know sports stories by and large are kind

1206
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 1: of relegated to the sports bubble people that follow. Sports

1207
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 1: but on occasion you'll have one that breaks contained and

1208
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:40,440
Speaker 1: you can be walking around the, supermarket walking Around, wegmans,

1209
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 1: definitely and when you hear two old ladies next to

1210
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 1: each other with their shopping carts who don't otherwise look

1211
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 1: like they are diehard sports fans talking about what is

1212
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 1: going on At Penn, state that's when you know something

1213
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:55,919
Speaker 1: big is going. On, yeah that's generally not a good.

1214
01:05:55,920 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 1: Feeling AND i just remember what it was like around

1215
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 1: here when that was all going, down AND i remember

1216
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 1: how the world kind of. Stopped, obviously it was. Horrible

1217
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:13,400
Speaker 1: it was a horrible news story on a million different.

1218
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:18,920
Speaker 1: Levels BUT i THINK i have a pretty good sense

1219
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 1: of how that affected people around here in a way

1220
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 1: that it didn't From. Afar and so for me not

1221
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 1: to bring the mood down, here you grew up and

1222
01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 1: went to. School like within the rhythms of The Penn state,

1223
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:37,480

1275
01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:13,040

1276
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:15,040
Speaker 2: organs but on the national, stage a bunch of Teams

1277
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 2: i've rooted, for you, KNOW i was deeply in like

1278
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:21,759
Speaker 2: A chicago. Family when The cubs won The world, series

1279
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 2: and that was very cool and a huge national.

1280
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 1: Story so, YEAH i think what often gets, overlooked AND

1281
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:30,360
Speaker 1: i would welcome people to write in soliverbalogmail dot com

1282
01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:32,240
Speaker 1: and kind of share their own stories on. This but

1283
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:39,120
Speaker 1: what what often goes unmentioned is the culture attached to

1284
01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:42,759
Speaker 1: some of these schools and stories and teams and players

1285
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 1: and coaches and you name. IT i, mean especially with

1286
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:48,800
Speaker 1: respect to college, football THE.

1287
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:51,959
Speaker 2: I think sports in, general especially when you get into like, Playoffs,

1288
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 2: olympics like, all like the huge moments it.

1289
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:55,880
Speaker 1: Is but but kind of in our little sphere of

1290
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,160
Speaker 1: influence here with respect to COLLEGE i, mean some of

1291
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 1: these schools have such deep roots in the communit and

1292
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:05,880
Speaker 1: it's really difficult to kind of separate one from the.

1293
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 1: Other and that culture is over in some cases hundreds of, years,

1294
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 1: RIGHT i, mean it really takes, hold and it's easy

1295
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:17,760
Speaker 1: for those of us on the outside to overlook that

1296
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:21,160
Speaker 1: type of. Thing and SO i would welcome more stories

1297
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:24,120
Speaker 1: like it to hear To raoul's, question if there are

1298

Speaker 2: YOU i just, Look TEXAS a AND m took a step.

1376
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 2: Forward they didn't go eight in, four, right they took

1377
01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:31,000
Speaker 2: a step. Forward they didn't Beat. Texas they didn't Beat

1378
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 2: texas last, season and that's okay because they're trying to

1379
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:38,879
Speaker 2: Where i'm Trying, Jennifer, right isn't that THE. Cj McCollum,

1380
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:43,680
Speaker 2: Thing like they've unquestionably hired a really good coach And

1381
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:47,360
Speaker 2: Mike elko who broke whatever spell they're going, through AND

1382
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:49,519
Speaker 2: i don't. Know it kind of feels, like don't be

1383
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 2: impressed by anything this team is, doing BECAUSE i personally am.

1384
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:56,200
Speaker 1: NOT i don't.

1385
01:14:56,240 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 2: KNOW i think it's okay to be impressed by a

1386
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:01,160
Speaker 2: lot of the steps Forward TEXAS a AND m took this,

1387
01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:04,479
Speaker 2: year even if they beat up on a lot of

1388
01:15:04,520 --> 01:15:07,080
Speaker 2: the bottom half of THE, sec because you know, what

1389
01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:09,679
Speaker 2: that's WHAT i Was. TEXAS a AND m didn't always

1390
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:12,479
Speaker 2: beat up on the bottom half of THE. Sec so

1391
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:14,680
Speaker 2: you got to take progress however you can get. It

1392
01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:18,920
Speaker 2: this world is burning. Down you can appreciate things and

1393
01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:20,400
Speaker 2: people and ideas moving.

1394
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 1: Forward so, look, YEAH i asked these questions sort of

1395
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:27,400
Speaker 1: tongue in. Cheek, OKAY i KNOW i was a big

1396
01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:30,519
Speaker 1: fan OF a AND m before the. Year the way

1397
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:34,840
Speaker 1: they went out was clearly a bit. Underwhelming they spent

1398
01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:40,160
Speaker 1: a lot of money on that roster to go out

1399
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:44,519
Speaker 1: with a thud the way they. Did, sure especially what

1400
01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:47,559
Speaker 1: was it? Like was it thirty five yards of offense

1401
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 1: in the second half Against texas something like.

1402
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:53,000
Speaker 2: That it feels like. It whatever it, was it was

1403
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:53,920
Speaker 2: a thirty five yard.

1404
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 1: Vibe, Yeah SO i understand the, question especially if you're

1405
01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:01,800
Speaker 1: A texas, fan AND i understand feeling underwhelmed by the

1406
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:07,040
Speaker 1: way THAT a AND m closed out at. Season, yeah

1407
01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:10,120
Speaker 1: this is the most college football question. Ever it really.

1408
01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:12,000
Speaker 1: Is but WHAT i would say is, THIS i Think

1409
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:14,800
Speaker 1: Mike elko was fundamentally a different kind of. COACH i

1410
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:17,000
Speaker 1: think the Way Mike elko is. Building the roster is

1411
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:20,360
Speaker 1: fundamentally different than they've had in the, past AND i,

1412
01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:24,840
Speaker 1: think as you, said it's a very notable step. Forward,

1413
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:28,559
Speaker 1: now sure where does it go from? HERE i have

1414
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:30,600
Speaker 1: to wait and. See it's not going to be the

1415
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:33,960
Speaker 1: same roster twenty six is wasn't twenty. Five we're going

1416
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:35,640
Speaker 1: to have some questions to answer on THE a AND m,

1417
01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:39,920
Speaker 1: Front BUT a AND m deserves to be in that

1418
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:43,960
Speaker 1: conversation moving forward the same Way texas, does because of

1419
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:46,680
Speaker 1: the talent on, hand because of proof of concept THAT

1420
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 1: i think we saw this. YEAR i don't think it

1421
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:51,719
Speaker 1: is a strong enough case that just sort of rests

1422
01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:53,599
Speaker 1: on the laurels OF a AND m kind of sucks

1423
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:55,040
Speaker 1: and finds a way to go eight and four every,

1424
01:16:55,080 --> 01:16:57,400
Speaker 1: year especially on the heels of what we saw this,

1425
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:00,000
Speaker 1: year WHICH i still think was relatively, successful even if

1426
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:01,920
Speaker 1: didn't end the WAY a AND m fans would have, hoped.

1427
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:05,880
Speaker 2: RIGHT i, mean look this, again this falls under the

1428
01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:11,160
Speaker 2: umbrella of college football fans view every team as a

1429
01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:14,920
Speaker 2: fraud if they, lose and then the team who wins

1430
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:18,120
Speaker 2: the national Championship i'm paraphrasing somebody else's tweet, Here the

1431
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:21,000
Speaker 2: team who wins The National championship is a fraud themselves

1432
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:24,320
Speaker 2: because they only beat frauds to get. There and so

1433
01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:27,519
Speaker 2: it's just like it's an oxygen. Question it's A texas fan, Again,

1444
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:05,519
