1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,800

Speaker 2: it last night. We'll get into uh Ashton genty and

6
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 2: what a game he had.

7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 3: Boise looking really really good man, never heard army looking

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 3: really really good. Good morning.

9
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 4: I've never heard of boys, never heard of him, No

10
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 4: such thing as Boise State. I'm just refusing to acknowledge

11
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 4: that UNLV loss last night. I think that's the only.

12
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 3: Fairly dude, I was rooting for you.

13
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 4: I'm sitting here with the UNLV football helmet on my desk.

14
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 4: Got to be the only national media guy in the world.

15
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 4: You can say that, and like that's right. Actually legit,

16
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 4: cold weather, stinking Boise State, freeze out, make my night

17
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 4: bad that go ahead, you.

18
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 5: Have worked it, Go ahead, keep sitting the stage.

19
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: Sorry, no, no, I then I was rootful. I felt

20
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 2: so bad for you, and they just could never get

21
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: anything going. And the shame is the defense. You look,

22
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: gent runs for two nine yards and you know, God

23
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: bless him. Whatever was thirty two carries? I mean he

24
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: was he was a workhorse, but the defense man they

25
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: gutted it out. They that whole second half, and there

26
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: were chances after chances, uh, the big run where the

27
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: big boy runs out of gas at the whatever it was,

28
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 2: the five yard line, the six yard line, and then

29
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 2: there was a false start or actually a delay game

30
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: that pushed them back and four straight bad plays and

31
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: they can't get it.

32
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: That was a big momentum.

33
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: If you score there, you're right, you're you're like, you're close,

34
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: like they were there.

35
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 5: Oh yeah.

36
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 4: And then they had the ball later receiver was wide

37
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 4: open on what could have been an easy touchdown that

38
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 4: would have led to a seven point game with about

39
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 4: nine minutes to go, Gaby just overthrew them and it

40
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 4: was just yea, Honestly, I never make an excuse for weather,

41
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 4: and it's not an excuse I think this game though,

42
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 4: it just felt like.

43
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, quarterback never got comfortable.

44
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 3: You could just you cant William he'd be never comfortable.

45
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 4: You could feel it that he just wasn't wasn't at

46
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 4: his feet on throws. Like I've watched a lot of

47
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 4: UNLV football and he's he's been good all year and

48
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 4: it just wasn't good in this game.

49
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 5: And the whole offense just they looked jarred.

50
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 4: They looked like there was just a moment where they

51
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 4: weren't ready to hit and be hit in that level

52
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 4: of weather. It's just from the outside of the game,

53
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 4: Boise State came out with the bigger pop, and I

54
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 4: felt like it was over quick once this game, you know,

55
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 4: because UNLV, with their go go offense, likes to run

56
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 4: the football a lot out of those formations. Once they

57
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 4: were down twenty one nothing, I was like, man, I

58
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 4: don't know how you stay patient, and it just felt

59
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 4: like they still had opportunities. I mean, Boise State won

60
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 4: that football game. I still don't think Boise State is

61
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 4: playing well enough right now to truly challenge who they're

62
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 4: going to get in the playoffs.

63
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 5: But let's see how that plays out.

64
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 4: But man, because they're likely to be the four seed,

65
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 4: they're gonna have to play likely if everything goes away

66
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 4: it usually goes they would have to play probably the

67
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 4: five seed.

68
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 5: In the first round of the playoffs in their first game.

69
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 4: I should say that I don't think this Boise State

70
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 4: team is equipped to handle what the Penn States and

71
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 4: Notre Dames are going to give them.

72
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 5: We'll see but you know a good win for them.

73
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, because if they match up another Dame, I think

74
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 3: that gets ugly.

75
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: I agree with you because here's the problem for that

76
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: is Genty won't be able to he won't be able

77
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: to get off like against.

78
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: The other Dame. Against that defense, that defense is good.

79
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 3: I'm with you, brother, I feel you on that. I did.

80
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: I felt for you last night, and I'm with you.

81
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: I thought it was just the weather. I thought the

82
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 2: weather God bless boys. I mean, they played, they played tough,

83
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: but I thought you're right. I thought the weather psyched

84
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: him out. You brought up Williams his feet. They did

85
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: a whole thing on it like they in fact, uh

86
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: you saw it. They were like if whoever was doing

87
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: the doing the game pointed out about how a rat

88
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: he wasn't setting. He was his foot his feet were

89
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 2: all discombobulating and he had no chance on a couple

90
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 2: of his throats because he wasn't set. There was no

91
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: Christmas at all to the offense because he could never

92
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: get the pass game down.

93
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 5: That's funny.

94
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 4: I actually did not have the audio on from the game,

95
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 4: so I didn't know that, you know, but.

96
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 3: If I know, you watch it's funny.

97
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: And that's the reason I brought up is you I

98
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: know you watch games with the audio off, yes, which

99
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: I think is weird, but it just it.

100
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 4: Depends sometimes I listened to it, but you know, last

101
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 4: night I just felt like more of a you know

102
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 4: it's going. I had the game on one side and

103
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 4: I put a Christmas movie on on the other intentionally

104
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 4: so that it was just like, hey, you know what, let's.

105
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 5: Good, we got we got ELF over here.

106
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 4: I was gonna make me laugh while I watched the game,

107
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 4: and I'm gonna relax every once in a while. That

108
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 4: was my my approach to trying to step back and relax.

109
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 5: So it didn't work. It didn't work.

110
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 2: So you had ELF on with the volume yeah and

111
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: the game on?

112
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 5: Yeah?

113
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 2: I love you, bro. I did you know that's twisted

114
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: that you know what that is?

115
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 3: That's a no. I like, I get it, but that's

116
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 3: over stimulation.

117
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, unfortunate.

118
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: But here's the thing, like you're trying to feel good

119
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: about a christ like I got it. Like, you know,

120
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: there was a point where I was like should I

121
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: put this on? Because both games were out of hand,

122
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: and I was like, let me stick with you. I

123
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: really I was rooting for you, dude, if I told you,

124
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: I was rooting U NLV just for you.

125
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 3: And it was funny.

126
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, And it was a point where I was like, well,

127
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: maybe I should just go to a Christmas movie right now.

128
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 2: But I was like, now, let me stay with it.

129
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: But I was still how do you watch a movie

130
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 2: at a game at the same time.

131
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 4: See the kids now, you know the kids today, they're

132
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 4: off their doom scroll and during all this stuff, like

133
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 4: they got the phone up and there go and go

134
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 4: and go and go and going in the phone. I

135
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 4: would rather on a game that I care about. I

136
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 4: want to stay away from my phone because I I

137
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 4: just it's just not the way I operate. So, you know,

138
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 4: having the second screen Christmas movie was a good idea.

139
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 5: I can't do that on a Raiders game. I'm too

140
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 5: invested on a Raiders game. I have to have it on.

141
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 4: But then, sometimes, like just being honest, I love so

142
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 4: many of the broadcasts, but sometimes the broadcast just gets

143
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 4: so frustrating to me, and particularly I don't like listening

144
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 4: to home radio broadcast because that's too homer. But sometimes

145
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 4: the national broadcast in general is just not focused enough

146
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 4: on things that I care about. That makes it actually

147
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 4: a better experience for me. So it just depends on

148
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 4: a game that I don't care about at all, like

149
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 4: today with the with the SEC Championship, I'll have the

150
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 4: audio on because I love the whole house just s

151
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 4: thumping with the yelling and the screaming. Like actually, I'll

152
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 4: take the I've got this fancy first world here, but

153
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 4: my TV is networked into my Son's the sound bar,

154
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 4: and then the son No sound bar.

155
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 5: I network.

156
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 4: I make that into one network for the whole house,

157
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 4: and so I put the game on in every room,

158
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 4: so no matter where you're walking, you still hear the broadcast.

159
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 4: You can't see the TV. You just keep it nice

160
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 4: and you know, energetic in the whole I like that.

161
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 4: That's Son's technology. Like they don't pay me, but they should.

162
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 4: Sonos call me. But I've got like Sonos and basically

163
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 4: every room and so you know, if I get explain,

164
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 4: it's all wireless, so all you literally once you have one,

165
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 4: like so this is your son No. So I'll give

166
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 4: the world a Son's trick here it once you like,

167
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 4: because I have a soundbar my TV plugs into. But

168
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 4: then most of the other speakers I've gotten off of

169
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 4: like Satan, Facebook Marketplace and people selling them that don't

170
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 4: because if you have one new one, you can network

171
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 4: them with all the old ones. Basically, so I've got

172
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 4: the All you do is plug it in and then

173
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 4: you take an app on your phone and you're like,

174
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 4: I want I want the audio from this speaker to

175
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 4: play in these rooms. So if you're having a party,

176
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 4: you can literally go in and say, Okay, I'm gonna

177
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 4: use I'm gonna play the Fellas in the basement so

178
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 4: that people can get sports sports talk. But then on

179
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 4: the first floor, I'm gonna play serious XM Holly. And

180
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 4: on the second floor, I'm gonna play you know, pop

181
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 4: eighties countdown. And you can put different in every room,

182
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 4: every every place, you can put different sounds. So it's

183
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 4: my it's my I'm an audio guy. Like so that's

184
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 4: so this is my trick.

185
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 5: But like for super Bowl, like.

186
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 3: I gotta do that.

187
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 2: I I yeah, I gotta get I need a whole

188
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 2: makeover you, you know, when you don't have I don't

189
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 2: know about you, Like there's a million things I have

190
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: to do, and I no, I need a makeover. When

191
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 2: it comes to my TV audio entertainment system, Like I

192
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 2: need a complete makeover. First of all, I need to

193
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: get rid of Comcast. I need to get rid of cable.

194
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: But I'm like attached to Cable and I don't know why,

195
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 2: but probably because they need to get my local teams.

196
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 3: So that's part of it.

197
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 2: But and I know there's other ways around it, but

198
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 2: I just leave a bait and then and then the

199
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: system itself just needs to be upgraded.

200
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 3: You know. That's to get wires. That's not good.

201
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, okay, Look I can't even every TV

202
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 4: in my house. They're just hung on a wall where

203
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 4: the wire has to be exposed. I buy like wire

204
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 4: hiders that like core covers that are attached to the

205
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 4: wall and then the wires run into it. Like there's

206
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 4: not a wire you can see. That's just that's the

207
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 4: OCD guy, I mean with some of the Yeah, but

208
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 4: that's the funny thing is everybody says, like, what's your guilty, Like,

209
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 4: I don't spend money on rough like anything. I'm not

210
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 4: a guy that just I've got you know, I'm not

211
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 4: a car guy. You know, I don't. I don't drive

212
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 4: a fancy car. I don't have a second car. I

213
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 4: don't do it, like, I'm not that guy. I'm not

214
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 4: a technology guy with that. Like everybody's got their thing

215
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 4: they spend money on. For me, the one thing that

216
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 4: I spend money on is speakers, and I know that

217
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 4: like speakers.

218
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 5: Headphones, anything that you know.

219
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 4: I'm I'm definitely that person, which kind of makes sense

220
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 4: with the life that I've lived, it just makes sense

221
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 4: that speakers matter to me. But you got it, like

222
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 4: the Sonos thing is an investment. They're not cheap, so

223
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 4: you just sort of like, I'm the sort of you know,

224
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 4: trickle down.

225
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 5: I'll get a couple here and a couple there.

226
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 4: And then you wake up one day and you're like,

227
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 4: oh my gosh, I've got Sonos in every room.

228
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 5: And then I'm still debate. Like they just came out

229
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 5: with a.

230
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 4: New like Surround, like the Digital Arc that's a soundbar

231
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 4: that's even better and it's pricey.

232
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 5: And on Black Friday, I was sitting there and I

233
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 5: was like, should I buy it? Should I buy it?

234
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 5: I was proud of myself, said no, I don't need it.

235
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 4: I don't I wanted it, but I didn't need it,

236
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 4: so you know, but I but I did find myself

237
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 4: sitting there saying, Okay, if I put that bar on

238
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 4: my main TV, then I could take the bar I

239
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 4: have and I can put that on my kitchen TV.

240
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 5: Like that's this is what I constantly do. Like everything.

241
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 5: Every rumor is like, oh, I can update the sound

242
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 5: in that room for no good reason.

243
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that. I think that's great. Actually.

244
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: But anyway, we started with you made a point about

245
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 2: William's feet, right, and you were right on, And it

246
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: was funny because you didn't hear the broadcast, but they

247
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: did the same thing. So it's us. It's good and

248
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 2: it was. It was all because of the calls. Hey,

249
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 2: by the way, the Fellas we come you alive. I

250
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: forgot about this broadcasting. A lot from the tyrack dot

251
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 2: com studios. Ti rack dot com will help you get there,

252
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 2: and I met selection fans free shipping. Free road has

253
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 2: a protection over ten thousand recommended its dollars. Tire rack

254
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 2: dot com The way tire buying should be Jason Fitz

255
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 2: Anthony Gargana together, where the Fellas always every week right

256
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 2: here on Fox Sports Radio. Uh, my brother, Uh it

257
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: was And people don't know. If people don't know, you

258
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: are a huge U. N. L. V guy, huge, you

259
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 2: are the biggest un l V football fan out there,

260
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 2: I would say, right.

261
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think me and Kenny Maine probably

262
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 4: have an argument on it.

263
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 3: I got over Kenny.

264
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 5: Look at that. It'll take me up all day, all day.

265
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

266
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 2: I love Kenny talented, the whole thing I got. I

267
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 2: go Fitsy, you know, I just do. I think I

268
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: think Fitzy uh by a big margin, fifty seven point

269
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: favorite in that in that battle.

270
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 5: I'm taking the points.

271
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 4: But I think the funny thing is, like, honestly, I

272
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 4: was thinking about this last night. For years covering college football,

273
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 4: people have asked me what's your favorite team?

274
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 5: And I've always I don't have one.

275
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 4: And the reason I've always been able to say that

276
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 4: is because UNLV.

277
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 5: Hasn't been relevant in the football landscape. It doesn't matter.

278
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 4: So sitting there, and I've made the joke before when

279
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 4: I first started, like, my favorite college football team is UNLV.

280
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 4: So I think that proves that I don't have a

281
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 4: bias because who cares about UNLV. Like, I'm just being

282
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 4: honest from a national perspective. I did last night think

283
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 4: about the fact that I had so many people texting

284
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 4: me about that game. Because the new college football playoff

285
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 4: system has made it matter, and the fact that if

286
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 4: Tulane hadn't slipped up last week last night would have

287
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 4: been even more important in the grand scheme of you know,

288
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 4: what's going to happen in the AAC versus what happens

289
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 4: in the Mountain West.

290
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 5: And I don't know that.

291
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 4: I couldn't make a pretty easy argument right now because

292
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 4: UNLV and Boise State certainly have had great seasons. The

293
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 4: path to the playoff for a team like UNLV or

294
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 4: Boise State is far better. It's far easier the path

295
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 4: of the playoff for either of those programs for the

296
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 4: next five years than it is for a team like Wisconsin.

297
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 4: It is for you know, a middle of the pack

298
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 4: Big ten team, a middle of the pack SEC team,

299
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 4: part of the Big twelve. Like you just think about

300
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 4: what's been created right now. If you are Memphis, Tulane,

301
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 4: you know Army, if you're UNLV, if you're Boise State.

302
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 4: I'm listening out sort of the teams that have or

303
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 4: are ranked in that group of five. Context party recruiting

304
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 4: conversation has to be at this point, Hey, we have

305
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 4: a real viable chance of the college football playoff here

306
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 4: every single year, which means you will get noticed. And

307
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 4: that's just I wonder what the long term ramifications are

308
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 4: for the group of five given the fact that there's

309
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 4: a better path to the playoff.

310
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: I you know, it's it really is. It's so fascinating.

311
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 2: I love it, dude. I gotta tell you. I love

312
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 2: what's going on. I just I love this whole thing.

313
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: Normally I'm depressed by, you know, by by this week

314
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 2: because it's over and then you've got garbage balls where

315
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 2: nobody plays.

316
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 3: And now we've got a whole tournament. You know what

317
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 3: I mean.

318
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 2: It's such it's so fantastic. It feels like a real

319
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 2: ending to a season.

320
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 4: And I agree with you on everything you just said.

321
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 4: And I also want to stress, and I do mean

322
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 4: stress this UNLV's gonna go to a bowl game. For

323
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 4: everyone that sat there and told me that the college

324
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 4: football playoff was gonna make bowl games worthless, I'll tell

325
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 4: you that bowl games were always only meaningful to the

326
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 4: fans and the players that were actually involved in them.

327
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 4: The rest of us areduced usion of this background noise.

328
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 4: For me as a UNLV fan, knowing that they're gonna

329
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 4: go to a pretty good bowl. I'm still gonna watch

330
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 4: the hell out of it. I'm still gonna be excited

331
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 4: to see a bowl game with UNLV in it. I'm

332
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 4: still gonna take another chance to.

333
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 5: See a game.

334
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 4: If the bowl game is cool enough and my schedule

335
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 4: will allow for it, I would still try to go

336
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 4: to it. Like I just I think that I'm living,

337
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 4: breathing proof that for somebody that's not gonna be in

338
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 4: the college football playoff. While I am disappointed that UNLV

339
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 4: is not going to be in a playoff, that it

340
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 4: makes my travel around Christmas easier, I am gonna look

341
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 4: at this bowl game opportunity and I'm still gonna enjoy it.

342
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 4: So where are all the you know, where all the

343
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 4: people that had the hot takes that bowl game season

344
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 4: was gonna die because I think you're wrong.

345
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 3: Well, here's why I agree.

346
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 2: For that reason and the fact that you got kids

347
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 2: staying because kids are getting paid in the NIL kids

348
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 2: now stay at the program, and now all of a sudden,

349
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 2: more kids will stay, more kids will play, and it's

350
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: more of an experience. They're going to use it more

351
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 2: as a stepping stone to try to get for next year.

352
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 3: I do I think it helps it. I think you're right.

353
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 5: I hadn't even thought about that portion of it.

354
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 4: That that being said, with all this bowl game in

355
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 4: playoff convo, there is one thing I will say, can

356
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 4: you imagine right now, because what we just talked about,

357
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 4: like UNLV seemed to melt a little bit under the pressure.

358
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 4: They seem to melt a pun intended on temperature, and

359
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 4: then they froze and under the lights, right we saw that.

360
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 4: Can you tell me like how disappointed NFL scouts and

361
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 4: teams are right now that the college Football Playoff is

362
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 4: not going to include Shador Sanders and cam Ward Because

363
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 4: like it's another data point. If you're sitting here looking

364
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 4: at quarterbacks and you're saying, man, I really want to

365
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 4: see how.

366
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 5: This quarterback looks like.

367
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 4: In a big situation, big game, under the lights, say

368
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 4: all the pressure where they have to make the plays.

369
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 4: You're gonna get to see that. Likely for Carson Beck,

370
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 4: you're likely going to get to see that. Maybe even

371
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 4: for Jaln Milroe you're gonna get to see that for Quinn. Viewers,

372
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 4: they can go up and down the list of quarterbacks

373
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 4: that are going to get the chance to show that

374
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 4: they can shine in the playoffs, and we see how

375
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 4: much the NFL overvalues playoff, Like, you have a good

376
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 4: playoff run as a quarterback, you'll get paid millions and

377
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 4: millions and millions of dollars. Right, So, just seeing like

378
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 4: if Carson Beck goes off in this playoff and is

379
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 4: the you know, respectfully, he is the Joe Flacco or

380
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,239
Speaker 4: Eli Manning of the college football playoff, He's gonna get

381
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 4: overdrafted because of it. Right So, if I'm a team

382
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 4: right now that wanted to see Shaduur or Cam i

383
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 4: am bombed and get that opportunity because their teams couldn't

384
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 4: win their way into the playoffs.

385
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could totally say, totally say it. All right,

386
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 2: let's take quick t O will come right back, and

387
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 2: got to give Army some love, man love Army. It's

388
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 2: been a great season and they dominated last night.

389
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 3: They were an.

390
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 2: Underdog against Tulane and they dominated that football game. Lots

391
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,399

Speaker 5: It feels so good. It doesn't feel so good.

399
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good. It feels good. I don't care what

400
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 2: anybody says about it. It's you just here.

401
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 3: It is just like she is, why Brie, No, I'm not.

402
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 3: It's December everything, all right.

403
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 2: She was in my ear already saying, look, say I

404
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 2: decorated December.

405
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 7: Third, Yeah, that's a big deal.

406
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 3: Well because she refuses to do November.

407
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, which we all know that I started early on this.

408
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 4: I was telling pretty earlier, like, look, the inside of

409
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 4: my house at this point looks like, you know, a

410
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 4: hobby lobby explor exploded everywhere.

411
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 5: There's Christmas stuff everywhere there.

412
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 4: There's no doubt like Christmas is well represented inside my house.

413
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 4: But I will ask you a philosophical question, my friend,

414
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 4: because I've gone full breath at this point. Like usually

415
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 4: my Christmas decorations outside are out so early, it's no

416
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,239
Speaker 4: big deal. Well, you know, like I got these like

417
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 4: wreaths that are on like a lit timer and garland.

418
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 4: Thing I put on my fence looks really pretty.

419
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 5: It doesn't. It doesn't take a ton of time, but

420
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 5: it takes some time.

421
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 4: But then I got to check it every day and

422
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 4: make sure that the refs haven't fallen that there, because

423
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 4: I'm a little cd that they're all still, you know,

424
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 4: the exact exact same spot on each of their respective

425
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 4: fence posts. Like I like everything to look at very symmetrical,

426
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 4: all of these things. I'm having this great debate now

427
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 4: because I haven't had time to do that. I was

428
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 4: thinking about doing it this weekend, but now it's already

429
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 4: December seventh, Like it's cold.

430
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 5: It's really because.

431
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 4: You know, up in here in the North at this

432
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 4: point it is very coold, like both cold, and I'm

433
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 4: looking around and I'm like, I don't feel like numbing

434
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 4: my fingers for an hour to put all this stuff off,

435
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 4: only to have to check it every day make sure

436
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 4: it's out there, only to have to take it all

437
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 4: down in January.

438
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 5: I don't know.

439
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 4: Like the fact that I didn't get it up in November,

440
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 4: you know, because I.

441
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 5: Was shamed by Brie. Obviously.

442
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 4: The fact that I haven't gotten my decorations up already

443
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 4: outside makes me think maybe I just shouldn't bother with

444
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 4: the outside. I think that's more for the neighbors than

445
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 4: it is for me. I got the inside covered.

446
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 2: Maybe I just keep my fingers one now the outside's great.

447
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 2: I mean, you should do November. You don't listen to

448
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 2: Brie all right.

449
00:20:54,920 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 4: Briefings a bully's she bullies.

450
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 2: But I say, fight the man, all right, fight the

451
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 2: power or the woolman, and go November.

452
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 3: All right?

453
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 4: Next year, next year, next year, I'll go November. There's

454
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 4: no doubt about that. I just don't know. Maybe maybe

455
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 4: I'm taking this year off outside. Maybe I do have this.

456
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 3: And we have spread down twenty five degrees outside.

457
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 7: So is it worth going out and risking frostbite just

458
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 7: for some wreaths and some light?

459
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 3: Like what are we doing here? Yes?

460
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 4: I see, But I will tell you this, Like I've

461
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,959
Speaker 4: got I've got like the garland up on the mantle

462
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 4: around the zonos we talked about earlier, and then the

463
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 4: Christmas tree lit in the corner and everything, so like

464
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 4: that's the other thing, like my nights, and I wish

465
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 4: I could replicate this in January. Like I literally turn

466
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 4: all the lights off in my house and I'm just

467
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 4: sitting there with the warm glow of Christmas lights inside.

468
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 4: That's all that's sliding the room like that, and like

469
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 4: everything there's a candlelight approached to all of that, you know, and.

470
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 5: Then she just sit there. You turn all the lights off.

471
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 4: Myself the other night, all the lights were off, and

472
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 4: I was just playing, you know, as usual, some Sinatra

473
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,959
Speaker 4: Christmas in the house while I'm sitting there having like

474
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 4: a little coffee late at night, because you know, I'm

475
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 4: an animal, and I'm just listening to all this, and

476
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 4: I was like, man, this is good.

477
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 5: This is good.

478
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 4: Like I wish I could replicate Christmas glow in February

479
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 4: when we're all sitting there and we hate winter.

480
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 3: Dude, I spot on, Man, I'm with you. It's my tooth.

481
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 2: It sucks because my favorite time of the year is

482
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 2: September October right then little November, and I love the holidays, but.

483
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 3: The football piece of it, right, it just goes.

484
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 2: By so freaking fast, and then the next thing, you know, boom,

485
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 2: it's the worst time of the year, which is you know,

486
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 2: January February.

487
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's like just trying to figure out the

488
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 4: way to make the same level of magic. Like I've

489
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 4: got a buddy that went to an all inclusive this

490
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 4: week and he's you know, hanging out in Mexico and

491
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 4: doing the thing, which is great, Like I love all inclusives,

492
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 4: I love great weather. I'm just like, I don't know

493
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 4: if I want to do that in December because of December,

494
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 4: I can have Christmas spirit, right, Like, I'd rather do

495
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 4: that in February, when especially post Super Bowl, where it's like, yeah,

496
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 4: I'm just trying to get rid of the winter blues

497
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 4: at that point.

498
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 2: Yes, the February is when you need it. February is

499
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 2: the word, is the trash month. It sucks. It sucks.

500
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 2: I mean March you got the tournament, you know what

501
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 2: I mean, and you got the gateway to spring. Soa

502
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 2: March is fine, April's great, and then you know then

503
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 2: you're then you're rolling that.

504
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 5: I don't know.

505
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 3: The only problem is football, dude. I just like it's Cole.

506
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 5: Seas where to go this year?

507
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 4: And I'm with vactorating like I do think that this

508
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 4: year there's a an element to like you said, We're

509
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 4: going to feel an extension. And one of the really

510
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 4: cool things about the fact that, like last year, which

511
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 4: was our first year together on the fellows, as we

512
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 4: were sitting here at this time of the year, I

513
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 4: was I was trying to help you cope through like

514
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 4: you know, we were on the couch, you know, but

515
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 4: but now I feel like, man, the beauty of this

516
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 4: thing is college football season is going to end weeks

517
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 4: before the Super Bowl, so right when it ends is

518
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 4: when we're getting.

519
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 5: The best of the best in the NFL as well.

520
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 4: I feel like this, this timing, this schedule is one

521
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 4: of the biggest wins for football heads anywhere, right.

522
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 3: It is it is, And then we get.

523
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 4: The Super Bowl mid February by the time, and then

524
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 4: we'll Blake will take a week and a half while

525
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 4: we reset, and we'll be into March madness like and

526
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 4: then we'll get through March madness and we'll be right

527
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 4: at the NFL Draft like that.

528
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 5: I'm Tony.

529
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 4: This is about to be a good spring, brother, But

530
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 4: winter into spring is about to feel totally different for

531
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 4: you all because the college football seasons extended.

532
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 3: Yes, I do agree with that.

533
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 5: I do.

534
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 2: I love that. I love this tournament. I'm in love

535
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 2: with college football. Well, I could completely love with the

536
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 2: change of college football. I would like the NFL just

537
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 2: to add another week and push back.

538
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 3: Just a little bit.

539
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 2: That then I'm right there at selection Sunday, you know,

540
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 2: I'm right there right, like, it takes me right to

541
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 2: that point and we're close to that because that's going

542
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 2: to happen, so we're close to it. I just love

543
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 2: the you know, once you start to dwindle, like you know, like,

544
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 2: oh my god, we're what week thirteen?

545
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 3: Is that not?

546
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 4: I mean in that sense, it is a little bit like,

547
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 4: you know, just mentioning, I got a buddy that's in

548
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 4: an all inclusive right now. One thing that's always funny

549
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 4: to me when you're you know, on vacation, if you

550
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 4: go for like a week, I don't know if you've

551
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 4: ever found this, but if you go for a week,

552
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 4: the first couple of days, you're like, man, I can't

553
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 4: believe it, we still have five days left here. And

554
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 4: then by the time you get to.

555
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 5: Do you're like, oh, we only have two days left.

556
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 4: We only have And it's funny how all of a sudden,

557
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 4: in the moment you go for I'm appreciating how much

558
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 4: you have left to all of a sudden, in the

559
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 4: moment you're thinking about the fact that you got to

560
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 4: go back to work right around the corner. I feel

561
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 4: like that's where we are at this point in the

562
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 4: college football season, is like we're just there's a little

563
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 4: mindset of like, god, I can't we're there's this level

564
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 4: we only have a few weeks left that.

565
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 5: Just sort of I don't know, it's a cloud. It

566
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 5: lords over everything.

567
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 3: I do the same thing on vacation, and you know,

568
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 3: it's funny.

569
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 2: I like the big vacation, right, Like I like to

570
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 2: save up all year and instead of splitting it up,

571
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 2: you know, like my favorite thing is to go and

572
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 2: I love doing a July vacation and I love going

573
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 2: to Italy.

574
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 3: Like my happy.

575
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 2: Place is Italy and July because I could do beach

576
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 2: and going around.

577
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 3: It's a little hot, but it doesn't matter. I like it. Right.

578
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 2: So then I come back home and it's football season

579
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 2: right like, so it's start to camp. Like I feel like,

580
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 2: all right, I got thrown. And I like doing the

581
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 2: long vacation if you go for like fifteen sixteen days.

582
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 2: But then I go, oh my god, it's our last Tuesday,

583
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 2: it's our last Monday. It's you know, And it's funny

584
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 2: because when I go to vacation, it's like I love it,

585
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 2: Like I don't ever feel like, oh my god, it's

586
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 2: good to be home. It's good to go home, like

587
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 2: my father should do this to me, he said, drive

588
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 2: me nuts. Every year our vacation was we would go

589
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 2: to Wildwood, New Jersey, which is a short town, a

590
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 2: sea shore town, and it's got like it's like kid heaven.

591
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 2: It's got a boardwalk that's you know, a couple miles long,

592
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 2: and a bunch of piers with amusements and games and treats.

593
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 2: It's like just a kid in wonderland. And we would

594
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 2: go every year for two weeks, and the last day

595
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: of like we'd have one bang outlet, like the Saturday

596
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 2: before we'd we'd always go Sunday to Sunday and we

597
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 2: would do it for two weeks. And my father would

598
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 2: always be like in a happy it's good to get home,

599
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 2: and I would used to be miserable. I'm like, dude,

600
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 2: stop celebrating that you're going home, all right, because I

601
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: don't want to go home.

602
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 3: I want to stay in this wonderland. Yeah.

603
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 4: And look, it's funny. I didn't really get vacations as

604
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 4: a kid. We never had the means to do that

605
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 4: sort of stuff. And then from much of my adult life,

606
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 4: you know, let's be honest, like when you grow up

607
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 4: in the music business, it's not like you're just rolling

608
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 4: around a cash that yeah left over.

609
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 5: So vacations were such a weird thing to me.

610
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 4: It wasn't until I finally got to a certain point

611
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 4: where I was like, I could do this, And now

612
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 4: you would think And maybe it's because I did spend

613
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 4: so much of my life traveling for three days at

614
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 4: a time. My idea of a vacation is not a

615
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 4: let's just do a quick weekend and get away. I

616
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 4: think those are just more of a pain in the

617
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 4: acid there.

618
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 3: I don't do that either.

619
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 5: I'm with you one hundred percent.

620
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 4: Like I I would rather spend a year planning the

621
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 4: mother of all trips and then like make that thing

622
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 4: the Like I'd rather take one vacation every three years,

623
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 4: partially because I'm a workaholic, but I'd rather take one

624
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 4: vacation every three years and make that thing such a

625
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 4: blowout vacation. It's like, yes, this was the epic trip

626
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 4: that that dreams are made of. Then you know, take

627
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 4: three days to go here and four days to go there,

628
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 4: and then it quit two days jut over there. Like

629
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 4: those things just exhausted me over time.

630
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's funny you said that you know, I

631
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 2: don't know, Like last year we didn't go. We usually

632
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 2: do it every other year, the Italy thing. But I

633
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 2: don't like the weekend trip either. If I can't really unpack,

634
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 2: then is that vacation?

635
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 3: Yeah? If I'm just drabbing a.

636
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 2: Duffel bag, you know what I mean, Like I'm not

637
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 2: really good like I lot packing, that's not a vacation.

638
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 4: I love the concept of Like if I if I

639
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 4: duffel bagged it, then all I did was just like,

640
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 4: all I did was make myself more tired. I'm just

641
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 4: like if we're being especially if you're flying somewhere or

642
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 4: like look for road tripping somewhere. I'm driving right, so

643
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 4: like you want me to add four hours five hours

644
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 4: on each side of this thing?

645
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 2: Like, come on right, I agree with listen. I think

646
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 2: you're I think you're spot on there, dude, I do.

647
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 2: But the uh, I don't know how we got all this?

648
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 2: How do we get on this thing?

649
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 5: Having a morning? My brother?

650
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 3: We are, Oh my god, we are just the first.

651
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 4: Time you have listened to the Fellas, I will promise you.

652
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 4: Usually we get yelled at for just you know, sitting

653
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 4: here and only talking about football.

654
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 5: The entire time. We're just having a morning of life.

655
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 5: It's a life morning with the fellas.

656
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 3: That's one thing well we we do.

657
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 2: Usually our last segment is more fun, lighthearted, and then

658
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 2: we go uber sports the first two segments. That's kind

659
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 2: of how I like to kind of do it right,

660
00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 2: like super serve the stories right, and then you take

661
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 2: a segment to kind of get in the Fitzies world.

662
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying here.

663
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 2: We got into our worlds to start the show in

664
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 2: the first two segments because let's face it, the UNLV

665
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 2: thing stung like that stung you. This was an opportunity

666
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 2: for you, and I know exactly how you feel because

667
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 2: I was a temple guy, right, I am a temple guy.

668
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 3: And they had a moment. Matt Ruhle was the coach.

669
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 2: They played Notre Dame on Halloween night on a Saturday

670
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 2: and almost beat them. They won the AAC and then

671
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 2: that was it. They evaporated. So I can relate to you.

672
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,959
Speaker 4: Look, I think you're right, changes the whole tone of everything,

673
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 4: I'll be honest.

674
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 5: The year the Raiders went to the playoffs.

675
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 4: A couple of years ago and lost to Cincinnati, Like

676
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 4: I remember, like where I was when I watched that game.

677
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 4: I remember everything in that playoff game and sort of

678
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 4: what that meant to me. I never thought I would

679
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 4: get that for college football. I honestly didn't.

680
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 3: I think the.

681
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 4: Surprising things, Like you know, when you think about growing

682
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 4: up as a kid in Vegas, the concept of even

683
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 4: professional sports ever existing just wasn't real because we were

684
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 4: at the time legislation wouldn't allow it. So, you know,

685
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 4: for me, the Larry Johnson Stacy Augman running rebels of

686
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 4: the early nineties, like that was my childhood and that

687
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 4: was larger than life to think that that would ever

688
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 4: happen in football. Yeah, there was Ikey Woods and Randall Cunningham,

689
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 4: but there wasn't ever a chapter of sustained, meaningful success

690
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 4: for UNLV football that mattered to anybody. So you know,

691
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 4: to think that they were on the doorstep of the

692
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 4: college football playoff and then it didn't happen. The funny

693
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 4: thing about that that you realized to be deep and

694
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 4: meta for a second, is that that means that this

695
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 4: particular year will be forgotten by everybody else other than

696
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 4: UNLV diehards, Like that one game means that this year

697
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 4: just becomes a Oh yeah, we were really good that year.

698
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 4: Had they won that game, it'd be oh my god,

699
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 4: we went to the first ever college football playoff. That's

700
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 4: such a stark difference. What do you think that's the

701
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 4: way it'll be remembered.

702
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, your spot on, brother spot on. Uh all right,

703
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 2: let's think quick TiO will come back, and I promise

704
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 2: we've got to give Army some flowers.

705
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 3: Man, that was a good win last night.

706

713
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 2: what a year. It's just been an awesome a lot.

714
00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 2: I mean last night they completely destroyed too Lane. I

715
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 2: know they had a couple of chances early, a couple

716
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 2: of minusfield goals early, but.

717
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 3: They weren't stopping Bryce and Dally and that crew. They

718
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 3: weren't stopping them.

719
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 4: I think that this Army team, too, is just so different,

720
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like there's a We're used

721
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 4: to Army being competitive and not like this this. I

722
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 4: know they didn't play a lot of teams and they

723
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 4: lost big to Notre Dame, but I thought it was

724
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 4: a real just focused thumping last night, you know, and

725
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 4: it showed sort of what makes this Army team great.

726
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 4: It shows what makes this Army team a little different,

727
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 4: and it shows that, you know, frankly, we've been feels

728
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 4: like desperate, the committee's been desperately trying to just cram

729
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 4: too latee into this thing.

730
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 5: And we got to remind it last night.

731
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 4: The haves and the haves not because if you want

732
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 4: to say too, Layde was off after losing last week

733
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 4: and maybe just didn't have the same mindset that's on them,

734
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 4: Like both had the same thing to play for, and

735
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 4: Army came out and played like they gave a name

736
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 4: I out.

737
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 2: I mean the teams that I don't understand why everybody's

738
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 2: trying to bet over backwards to get him in.

739
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 3: Like I just didn't understand.

740
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 2: I don't understand, like two lane out Miami, all the

741
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 2: Miami love going to the last week was a joke.

742
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 2: How many times do you and I talk about that.

743
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 2: I never understood that, and frankly.

744
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 5: I wasn't surprised to see Miami take it so far down.

745
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 5: I do think he liked Syracuse.

746
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 3: We said it last week.

747
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, can I just say I

748
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 2: raised a glass to Kyle McCord all right, who destroyed

749
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 2: army at Miami's defense last last week through for like

750
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 2: a thousand yards. And by the way, was scapegoaded by

751
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 2: Ryan Day in Ohio State for the Michigan game. All right,

752
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 2: that kid was scapegoated and he was set up all year.

753
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 3: He loses the game and then they.

754
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 2: Scapegoated him, and then look what happened, all right, look

755
00:35:58,680 --> 00:35:59,280
Speaker 2: what happened.

756
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, which, by the way, is a great example yet

757
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 4: again why the transfer portal can be a powerful and

758
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 4: incredible thing for the kids to have the opportunity to

759
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 4: utilize it. Like one program chose to throw you under

760
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 4: the bus, and so instead you got to go continue

761
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 4: doing what you love. You got to go continue playing

762
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 4: college football in a meaningful and packful place where they

763
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 4: valued you. And you watched the team that gave up

764
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 4: on you go out there and absolutely lay an inexcusable egg.

765
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 4: I mean so absolutely absolutely incredible, and that has such

766
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 4: a ripple effect. And I know we'll get into this

767
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 4: over the course of the morning, but think about this.

768
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 4: If you're Penn State a week ago when we're hanging out,

769
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 4: you think you have the clearest shot ever to a

770
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 4: national championship because you're going to be You're likely going

771
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 4: to be the five seed, right and by being the

772
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 4: five seed, you're gonna get home field in the first round.

773
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 4: You're going to take on a team that you are

774
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 4: bigger and stronger than typically, and then you're going to

775
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 4: get the four seed in the second round of the playoffs,

776
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 4: which is the easiest of all the opponents in theory.

777
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 5: So in theory, your Pen.

778
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 4: State, you have a very real path to the national championship.

779
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 4: And all of a sudden, you didn't do anything. All

780
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 4: of a sudden everything changed for you. And now you

781
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 4: gotta go play Oregon and if you get beat down,

782
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 4: and I don't think Penn State will, but now you

783
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 4: have risk.

784
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:15,919
Speaker 5: You didn't have risk a week ago.

785
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 4: Now because Ohio State loses, you suddenly have the risk

786
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 4: if this championship game goes wildly off the rails, you

787
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 4: can find yourself as the five seed. You can find

788
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 4: yourself falling lower. Like, the Committee's made it clear that

789
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 4: they're going to be able to adjust everybody that plays

790
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 4: this weekend. So if they do, if you get killed

791
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 4: in this game today, I don't think they will. If

792
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 4: you do your entire path to a national championship, it

793
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 4: gets jarringly harder because Ohio State laid an inexcusable egg

794
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 4: against Michigan, Like, that's wild to me.

795
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 2: It is wild, and I got to do it's for you.

796
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 2: I think it's going to happen. I think Oregon's going

797
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 2: to happen. Why with Penn State, I don't think it.

798
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 2: The match up works for Penn State. Now I hope

799
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 2: I'm wrong. I like Penn State, so I hope I'm wrong.

800
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 2: I just don't like the match up. The problem with

801
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 2: Penn State gets an Oregon is I think you're you're

802
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 2: gonna have to score, and they don't have the explosive

803
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 2: players on the outside. Look, their best player is a

804
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 2: tight end, and I love Warren.

805
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 3: He's to a.

806
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 5: Great tight end.

807
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 3: Yeah right, but he's still a tight end. Man.

808
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 2: You know, Aller's got a great arm. They have to

809
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 2: do whatever they can to get receivers in here. For

810
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 2: next year. But that's I think that's the in this matchup.

811
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 2: I think you're gonna have to score because I think

812
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 2: Oregons score.

813
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:36,919
Speaker 8: Yeah.

814
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 4: And by the way, you've been on this from the beginning,

815
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 4: and you've been right that they need an actual, viable

816
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 4: receiving threat to be able to threaten any.

817
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,439
Speaker 5: Of these teams at the highest possible level.

818
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,439
Speaker 2: So I mean, you Don'hio State if they have If

819
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 2: they have an outside threat, they win that game.

820
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 4: And as an agent of chaos for me, I mean,

821
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 4: part of the reason I wanted UNLV to win last

822
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 4: night was just to see what the can that he

823
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 4: does if they're challenged, Like to see what this whole process.

824
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 4: I don't want college football to just work itself out

825
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 4: it always does. I want to I want this whole

826
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 4: system to be tested from day one. So I want

827
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 4: in this situation, I'm not rooting for against Penn State

828
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 4: despite this concept, this statement, I want Penn State Disey's

829
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 4: absolutely slaughtered so that we find out, like how far

830
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 4: do you fall in playing in your comp I want

831
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 4: every team that's favored in the conference championship games today

832
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,720
Speaker 4: to lose, and as a result, I want the entire

833
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 4: system to be tested from day one.

834
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 5: I got that that.

835
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 4: I'm all in on Clemson winning and then let's figure

836
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,919
Speaker 4: out what we do with SMU. Like, because you start

837
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 4: punishing all of these losers in these conference championship games,

838
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 4: this thing could get ugly quick.

839
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 5: And I just want to see.

840
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 2: I don't want to win for that matter.

841
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 4: I want SMU to get into the college football playoff.

842
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 4: I genuinely do. I want to see the system threaten

843
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 4: their challenged from will Let's push the limits on it

844
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 4: from day one so that we know where the problems are.

845
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 2: And then to act and react quickly. Yeah, I'm Filian

857
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 2: into today and a big day. It is the rematch

858
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 2: Texas and Georgia. Let's focus in on that one to

859
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 2: start right off the bat. I like Texas in the

860
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 2: first game, and Georgia dominated, right I like Texas again today.

861
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is. I just think they're

862
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 2: playing better football. I don't like the way Georgia looks.

863
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 2: I keep looking at speaking of explosive lacking explosive players,

864
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 2: that's what it's Georgia team. Man, how bad did they

865
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 2: miss Bowers and mcconkeie. I keep going back to that.

866
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 2: I expect a much better performance out of Texas today, So.

867
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,919
Speaker 4: Do I and Frankly that Texas defense is a bunch

868
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:42,760
Speaker 4: of men playing college football. The Texas defense flies, They're fast,

869
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 4: they hit hard, they can do everything at every level

870
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 4: of the defense, and most importantly to me, they just

871
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 4: don't make a lot of mistakes.

872
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,760
Speaker 5: You know, so much of high quality defense at college

873
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 5: or the.

874
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 4: NFL is about communication, and Texas does that really well

875
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 4: right now. Texas is running the ball better over the

876
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 4: course of the last month the season as well, So

877
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 4: there's a lot to like, frankly about where they are

878
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 4: at this point and the way they look now, I'm

879
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 4: with you.

880
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 5: I'm the first to admit that. I also frankly thought

881
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 5: that Texas win the first game and they didn't.

882
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 4: Carson Beck playing better, He's playing cleaner football over the

883
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 4: course of the last few weeks. He's gotten a little hotter.

884
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 4: But you're right, like, how often do I say this

885
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 4: is the hill I've died on all year? It served

886
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 4: me most weeks, it will serve me. I believe in

887
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 4: the playoffs, I want to know what your plan is

888
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 4: on third and seven, because you're inevitably in big games,

889
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 4: in playoff games, in a championship game, in like opponent games,

890
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 4: you are going to have to have somebody that can

891
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 4: save you in third and manageably long down in distance.

892
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 5: I don't know who that person is.

893
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 4: For Georgia, I don't trust any of their weapons to

894
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 4: be that go to guy, and I don't trust their

895
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 4: quarterback to be able to do that without forcing the

896
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 4: football which creates turnovers. So that all of this leads

897
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 4: me to the other side, where Texas has a quarterback that,

898
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 4: while quinn Ers hasn't played as well post injury as

899
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 4: he was pre injury, I think he's taking a little

900
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 4: step back over the course of the year. He's playing

901
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 4: well enough, he's got to still got to get a

902
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 4: little more accurate on some of the deep balls.

903
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 3: And the art and Art is going to play man.

904
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the arts thing in the goal line

905
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 4: too has been interesting. Like George's got to account for that.

906
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 4: They've got to work on that. There's a package of

907
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 4: plays for Arts. So I just man in this situation.

908
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 4: As much as I trust Kirby Smart, I don't trust

909
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 4: Georgia to be able to execute at the level they

910
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 4: need to. I don't trust Georgia not to drop the football.

911
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 4: They still need all of college football and drop passes

912
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 4: this year. Like I think Texas wins this game.

913
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 3: So I did too.

914
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 2: And one of the things that you know, I like

915
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 2: to go back and go all right because I liked

916
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 2: I also liked Texas back on the when they first

917
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 2: played right and it was what was that week six weeks?

918
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 2: It was week six, and I like Texas that I

919
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 2: remember thinking, like, you know, I don't know that this

920
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 2: Georgia team is not what they were offensively because of

921
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 2: you see, clearly they missed Bowers, clearly they missed mcconkeye,

922
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 2: and I went back and look at that game, and

923
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 2: one of the things that you see is, obviously Texas

924
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 2: turned the ball over four times. Georgia turned the ball

925
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:22,959
Speaker 2: over three times, but Texas four times. Early Georgia had

926
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 2: one drive of note, if you look at their scoring drives,

927
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 2: their first touchdown came after a Texas fumble, so they

928
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 2: got a short field and took over at the thirteen

929
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 2: to Texas thirteen. Their next touchdown came after an interception.

930
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:47,359
Speaker 2: They took over after at the Texas thirty four, right,

931
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 2: So you saw their field goals. You saw their points

932
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 2: early come off of the same thing. Then there was

933
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 2: a short punt, they take over at their own forty five,

934
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 2: They drive down kick a field goal. So now twenty

935
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 2: their points have all come on short fields.

936
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:05,800
Speaker 3: They had one big drive.

937
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 2: It was in the second half and it came they

938
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,959
Speaker 2: started at their eleven and they drove the field, scored

939
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 2: a touchdown. They were bullied by a big play, a

940
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 2: forty two yard reception by Dull. So if you go

941
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 2: back and look at it, Texas stills. Texas defense still

942
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,879
Speaker 2: had a major imprint on the game. They just were

943
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 2: I thought they just were pinned down. They got you know,

944
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,280
Speaker 2: when George's got short fields, you know that's they're gonna,

945
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 2: they're gonna, they're gonna cash in.

946
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, that everything you just said is so smart that

947
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 9: it's an important part of why.

948
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 4: We have to remember game script matters and these things, right, like,

949
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 4: the way these things play out are far different than

950
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 4: the score. And there's another variable here that we're not

951
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:58,760
Speaker 4: used to on Conference Championship Saturday, and that's that nothing

952
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 4: is secure for c for the college football playoff, right,

953
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,879
Speaker 4: So if you are Texas and you know, we'll see

954
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 4: what happens over the course of the day, but it

955
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 4: does become interesting right now you're looking at it and saying, well, yeah,

956
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 4: we could be SEC champions. That's a great part of

957
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 4: this year. Great, that's fine. But the bigger part of

958
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 4: the conversation for you right now is that you're looking

959
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 4: at it and saying, hey, what you don't know is

960
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 4: the outcome of Oregon at Penn State. And so if

961
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 4: you're Texas, knowing that you kick off for in the

962
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 4: afternoon and knowing that Eastern time and that Oregon Penn

963
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 4: State doesn't kick off until eight pm, you still got

964
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 4: a shot at trying to get the number one seed,

965
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 4: So like there is something huge for Texas to play

966
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,800
Speaker 4: for in the sense of wanting to be the top overall,

967
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 4: not just the SEC champion. Finds that's great to win

968
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 4: the SEC in your first year, Haza, but even bigger

969
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 4: than that in the way that they try to get

970
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 4: to a national championship.

971
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 5: You want to give.

972
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,439
Speaker 4: Yourself the best opportunity in the first your first game,

973
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 4: the second round to get the.

974
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 5: Best opponent you can.

975
00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 4: Texas comes out with the focus of the gods in

976
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 4: this one, because like there's a spot where if they

977
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 4: were kicking off after Oregon Penn State, maybe they would

978
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 4: take the foot off the gas a little bit.

979
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 5: I don't think they do that in here.

980
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 4: I think texas Is objective is not just to Beatia Georgia,

981
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,919
Speaker 4: but they're going to try and slaughter Georgia if they can,

982
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,959
Speaker 4: simply because they want to make a statement with the committee. Remember,

983
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 4: this is the only weekend where the committee sits together

984
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 4: in the room and watches the games with each other.

985
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 4: It's the only weekend that happens a whole year. So

986
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 4: a visual impression matters here. So if you're Texas, you're

987
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 4: not just trying to win twenty eight to twenty one.

988
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 4: If you're Texas more than ever, you're not just trying

989
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:38,879
Speaker 4: to win the SEC Championship game. You're trying to win

990
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 4: this thing forty five to ten, so that the committee

991
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 4: walks away and says, man, Texas might actually be number one,

992
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:45,839
Speaker 4: depending on what happens in the night game.

993
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, it's a great, great point. I'm completely with you.

994
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 2: I think you're going to want to make a statement

995
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 2: if you're Texas. And look, as long as you play clean,

996
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 2: That's why I keep going back to it. As long

997
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:05,439
Speaker 2: as you play clean. I like him, and I like him.

998
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:10,800
Speaker 2: I like him by some margin too. You know, man,

999
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 2: we talked about Carson Beck all year and I just

1000
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 2: had that same like once I realized it was like,

1001
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 2: oh man, the kids got a long way to go.

1002
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 3: He's not what I thought he was.

1003
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 2: And I haven't shaken that feeling yet.

1004
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1005
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 4: By the way, kudos for you, because you, again, you've

1006
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 4: been consistent on this for a lot of the year.

1007
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 4: There were people coming into the season that thought he

1008
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 4: was going to be the first overall pick in the draft,

1009
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 4: and you know, I think what we have to remember,

1010
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 4: as I've said before, is that this shows you the

1011
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 4: value of Brock Bauers and lab Maconkey.

1012
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1013
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 4: Frankly, he looked like a different quarterback last year when

1014
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 4: he had two guys that have come in and made

1015
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 4: immediate Sunday impact playing with him on Saturday. And so

1016
00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:59,839
Speaker 4: can he find the guy when the guy's open?

1017
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 8: Yeah?

1018
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 5: Can he elevate everybody around him?

1019
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,399
Speaker 4: And you know, even some of the people that I've

1020
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 4: talked to around Yahoo that are talking to people in

1021
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 4: the league have said repeatedly that around the league there's

1022
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 4: a concept of Hey, he's he's a he's a project.

1023
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 5: Don't take it.

1024
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 4: Don't take him at the beginning of the first If

1025
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,479
Speaker 4: you're if you're telling me that Carson Beck is gonna

1026
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 4: be drafted at the top of the second round and

1027
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 4: somebody's gonna try and develop them into his their starting quarterback.

1028
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 4: I understand at least rolling the dice on it. But man,

1029
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 4: my my fear is that for some team he's gonna

1030
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 4: go on a playoff run. Here Georgia goes on a

1031
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:34,919
Speaker 4: little run and all of a sudden, Carson Beck finds

1032
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 4: himself a top ten drafted player.

1033
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 5: That's just that's absolute franchise suicide. Like I wouldn't do

1034
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 5: that at all.

1035
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 2: No, And I think, you know, here's the problem. I

1036
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 2: think somebody's I think you're right. I think somebody's gonna

1037
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:48,280
Speaker 2: overdraft them.

1038
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: Yep.

1039
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 3: And they're gonna overdraft him.

1040
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna tell you why they're gonna overdraft him

1041
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 2: in the same vein they're gonna go, well, bow Knicks,

1042
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 2: look where bow Knicks was taken?

1043
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I and he's not bow Knicks.

1044
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:01,919
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1045
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 4: Also, whoever's draft in Carson Beck better have Sean Payton, Like,

1046
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 4: I just don't believe that Bocks Bo Knicks would be

1047
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 4: bo Nicks right now without.

1048
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 3: Payton, I agree with.

1049
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:16,760
Speaker 4: And it's very specifically, not just even Sean Payton the coach,

1050
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 4: but Sean Payton's system worked. Yes, Brow next to quarterback,

1051
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 4: like all of these things came together, and it's just.

1052
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 3: Dude, he looks so good. He looks so good.

1053
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 2: I was watching like it's uh Cleveland or whatever, and

1054
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,959
Speaker 2: you know, jameis Is. I love James. It makes me laugh.

1055
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 2: He's he's a baller man. Touchdowns sixty yard touchdowns or

1056
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 2: sixty yard pick six is like, you know, but just

1057
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 2: watching it, and again, the Cleveland defense is still a

1058
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 2: good defense, and I'm watching bow necks.

1059
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 3: I'm going, man, the kids got it.

1060
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 2: Man, he's got he's got a lot of he's got

1061
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 2: in tangibles. He's he's learning the position. We could see it. Man,

1062
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:01,760
Speaker 2: he's got a great arm. It looks fantastic.

1063
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's there's just this moment of watching. And how

1064
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 4: often have we said coaching and systems matter in general?

1065
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 4: And I will remind everybody you know in my in

1066
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 4: my previous life as a musician, I know that I

1067
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 4: was great as a fiddle player. I was a great

1068
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:24,839
Speaker 4: fiddle player. I say that humbly. I also can't play

1069
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,720
Speaker 4: bluegrass worth a damn. And so the analogy I always

1070
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 4: use is if you walked by and I was out

1071
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 4: on you know, just sitting in with the band, and

1072
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 4: somebody threw me a fiddle and they're like, hey, man,

1073
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 4: go play. If you asked me to play a bluegrass song,

1074
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 4: you'd walk by and you'd be like, man, that fiddle

1075
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 4: player sucks. He's not good at all. Like that's just

1076
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 4: not what I'm good at. But if all of a

1077
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 4: sudden you turn around and said, hey, we need a

1078
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 4: pop country or rock country song, where like we need

1079
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 4: something with a grittier vibe, and you let.

1080
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 5: Me rip on that.

1081
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 4: Everybody's gonna walk by and say, oh my god, that

1082
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 4: fiddle player is great. The fiddle player didn't didn't change.

1083
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 4: What you're asking him to do changed. And I just

1084
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:57,800
Speaker 4: I look at that in life for every and I

1085
00:51:57,840 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 4: don't care what you do. Like if you're a macare

1086
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 4: and suddenly you're being asked to work on styles of

1087
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 4: cars that you've never seen before, like maybe that's not

1088
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 4: your bag, but it doesn't mean you're not great. If

1089
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 4: you if you're a handyman and it's like, man, I'm

1090
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,280
Speaker 4: really good at drywall, and all of a sudden, you

1091
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 4: you know, you buy a house that doesn't have any

1092
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,840
Speaker 4: drywall off, like it's all plaster. It doesn't mean that

1093
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 4: you're not an It doesn't mean you're an idiot. It

1094
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 4: means you weren't put in the right system. And I

1095
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,319
Speaker 4: just I just think we have to step back and

1096
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 4: stop asking ourselves. And when when we're looking at the draft,

1097
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 4: now that there's no time anymore, now that nobody has

1098
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 4: patience in anything, I don't think you could just look

1099
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 4: at it and say, who is my team drafting? I

1100
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 4: think you have to take back a more nuanced approach

1101
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 4: and say who is my coach, what is our offensive philosophy,

1102
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:44,799
Speaker 4: and how does this particular quarterback fit into it? And

1103
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:47,760
Speaker 4: if all of those things don't align, it's not.

1104
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 5: Going to work.

1105
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 2: Yeah you're spot on, bro, I mean I think you're

1106
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 2: spot on. Really yeah, I do so getting back to

1107
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 2: back and in this game, I you know, so if

1108
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 2: we extrapol and Texas wins.

1109
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 3: Where is Georgia? Like?

1110
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 2: How big of a threat today? In this weird This

1111
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 2: is such a weird. It's a great year because it's

1112
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 2: got your chaosity and it's so hard to read. Like

1113
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 2: I look into Oregon, I go, I like Oregon, but like,

1114
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 2: you can't tell me that there's some overwhelming favorite. We

1115
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 2: already saw a highow stake. It exposed Georgia. I got

1116
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 2: to look at Texas. I go, I like Texas and

1117
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:36,320
Speaker 2: I like them today to win, but they're beatable.

1118
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 3: I go back. You know what the team I keep

1119
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 3: going back to.

1120
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 2: And I'm an idiot because I said this back a

1121
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 2: couple months ago, and I do so. I do a

1122
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 2: show at a local casino on a Wednesday night, and

1123
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 2: it's a football show.

1124
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 3: You know, the brain who comes home with us.

1125
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,359
Speaker 2: He and I do an hour show that looks at

1126
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 2: the upcoming weekend card, and so we go through it

1127
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 2: and the whole thing, and I go, dude, you know

1128
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 2: why I like to be you know what I like

1129
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 2: as a National championship team? Notre Dame. And at that

1130
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 2: point they were twenty eight to one, And you think

1131
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:18,880
Speaker 2: I throw fifty bucks because I was there, and of

1132
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 2: course I didn't.

1133
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 4: So I can't make a compelling argument against Notre Dame.

1134
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 4: And I say it that way that sounds like a

1135
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 4: backhanded compliment.

1136
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 5: It's not.

1137
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 4: I am right now looking like as I have the

1138
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 4: CP rankings in front of me, I think there's a

1139
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 4: pretty compelling argument to be made against Alabama and what

1140
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 4: their fatal flaws. So it's pretty easy to see their

1141
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 4: fatal flaws. Poise, I think, you know, will be exposed

1142
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:50,320
Speaker 4: at some point. Poise State. The fatal flaws of Indiana.

1143
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:52,800
Speaker 4: We don't even need to go over. SMU has fatal flaws.

1144
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 4: Tennessee is the team I have loved all year, but man,

1145
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 4: do they beat themselves. Their fatal flaws are so transparent.

1146
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 4: We just saw Ohio State and everything that can go

1147
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 4: wrong for Ohio State. We have seen what can go

1148
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 4: wrong for Georgia a couple of times, so that eliminates

1149
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 4: five through twelve. As much as we're talking about who's

1150
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 4: going to make the college football Playoff, if I'm going

1151
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 4: five through twelve, I don't think any of them are.

1152
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:16,439
Speaker 5: True national championship team.

1153
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 4: Maybe they get hot at their best, maybe some of

1154
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 4: them can win, but consistent week in week out, I'm

1155
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:23,879
Speaker 4: not scared of any of them. So when you look

1156
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 4: at the top four, I certainly we talked about the

1157
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 4: weaknesses of Penn State. I think this is really a

1158
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:33,359
Speaker 4: three team race, Oregon, Texas and Notre Dame. And I'm

1159
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 4: pretty surprised that I'm saying that about Notre Dame just

1160
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,839
Speaker 4: because not because of their loss, the most inexcusable loss,

1161
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 4: but they lost some key players on the defensive side

1162
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 4: of the ball and never took a step back. Like

1163
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 4: I do, think that Notre Dame deserves a lot more conversation.

1164
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:50,839
Speaker 4: I think right now, if I had to bet, if

1165
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:54,359
Speaker 4: I was told I could place any one bet on

1166
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 4: the national championship and I'd had to plant my flag

1167
00:55:57,920 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 4: on it, I'm not sure I wouldn't plant that flag

1168
00:55:59,680 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 4: for Tech.

1169
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:03,359
Speaker 5: But I'll give you Texas is my one and Notre

1170
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:04,359
Speaker 5: Dame is my one.

1171
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,760
Speaker 4: A and that feels so disrespectful to Oregon, who hasn't

1172
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:08,359
Speaker 4: lost this year.

1173
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 2: I out and I keep going back to it. I

1174
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 2: feel the same way, and I don't know why I

1175
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:14,320
Speaker 2: feel that.

1176
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 3: Now. I do think tonight.

1177
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 2: This is where the Oregon you know it gets flowers.

1178
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna be.

1179
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 2: On the stage and I right, it's gonna be the

1180
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 2: whole thing, and I think they were all and I

1181
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be an Oregon party tonight. I don't

1182
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 2: know if it's gonna translate into the playoffs, but for tonight,

1183
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 2: I think you're gonna see it. I'm not sure why

1184
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 2: I'm so distrustful of them, but I end So let's

1185
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 2: just go over their schedule report, I'll.

1186
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 5: Say real quick to that point.

1187
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, my preseason college football national champion pick was Oregon,

1188
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:58,399
Speaker 4: and so I looked at this and I think that's

1189
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 4: part of why I'm on that, Like Oregon hasn't done

1190
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:06,240
Speaker 4: anything this year to outrun the hype that I felt

1191
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 4: like they had, and I'm not sure every week they've

1192
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 4: lived up to.

1193
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:10,719
Speaker 5: The hype that I thought they had.

1194
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 4: So I'm the I'm more than willing to admit that

1195
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:15,839
Speaker 4: this is unfair grading on a curve. Like the kid

1196
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 4: in elementary school that was smarter than the rest of

1197
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 4: the class that is held to the higher standard.

1198
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 5: That is what I am doing to Oregon.

1199
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 4: I am the first to admit all they've done is

1200
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 4: is be great. And I'm looking at it and saying, yeah,

1201
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 4: I mean that's a minus. And I really thought you

1202
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 4: were an A plus kid, Like I'm willing to admit that.

1203
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 5: That's what I'm doing in my mind.

1204
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 2: I think I got the same thing, And no I didn't.

1205
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 2: They weren't my kudos to you. They were your preseason pick.

1206
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 2: They were not mine. I thought they'd be good, but

1207
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:42,919
Speaker 2: I didn't think they weren't my pick.

1208
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 5: I picked them to beat Ole Miss So what the

1209
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 5: hell do I know?

1210
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 3: Homeless? No, but I mean, seriously, I mean, it's a

1211
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 3: good pick.

1212
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 2: I except here's the I just maybe I think the

1213
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 2: same along the same lines. I think it's a great

1214
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,080
Speaker 2: count Like what you were saying about being in a

1215
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 2: I mean a A plus, died it and really.

1216
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 3: In reality they're a minus.

1217
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 2: And maybe that's why I think the same thing, because

1218
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 2: I go I'm a little distrustful why.

1219
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:10,480
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1220
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 2: All Right, they beat Idaho, they beat Boise by three,

1221
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 2: They roll Oregon State, they roll UCLA, they roll Michigan State.

1222
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 2: They had that epic game against Ohio State on October twelfth,

1223
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 2: to thirty two to thirty one game. They roll Perdue,

1224
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:34,439
Speaker 2: they roll Illinois, they roll Michigan. They crush Michigan right

1225
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 2: like thirty eight seventeen and it was Routh City. They

1226
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 2: buried Maryland, they beat Wisconsin, it was a close game,

1227
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 2: and then they just beat and buried Washington. So it's

1228
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 2: not like they've done anything there where I went. I

1229
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 2: don't know why I don't trust them, But I is

1230
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 2: their defense, Like how good is their defense?

1231
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 4: Their pass rush is good, I'll get them there, but

1232
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 4: their pass rush is good? Yeah, yeah, I mean is

1233
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 4: there defense as physical as some of these?

1234
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 5: I think so. Maybe the fact that I'm saying I

1235
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 5: think so is part of the problem.

1236
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 3: Though, But you're not Texas defense.

1237
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 4: No, No, that's yeah, that it's an interesting question. Maybe

1238
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 4: that is sort of the reason that that's.

1239
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 2: Kind of where I'm at, Like, like I think their

1240
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 2: offense is legit, like I you know, like I buy

1241
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 2: their offense.

1242
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 3: I'll learn a lot about them.

1243
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 2: They're like, because if Penn State goes up down the

1244
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 2: field on them, then that's what I'm that's my That's

1245
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 2: the reason why I'm a little lukewarm on them as

1246
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 2: the favorite.

1247
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1248
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 4: I don't disagree with that at all. I think you're

1249
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 4: right if they come out and make a huge defensive state,

1250
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 4: if they come out and win a shootout, I don't

1251
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 4: think your opinion is going to change if they make

1252
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 4: a huge defensive statement.

1253
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 5: I think that it might sort of.

1254
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you hold Penn State to you know, twenty

1255
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 2: or less and you win thirty four to twenty or

1256
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 2: thirty four seventeen.

1257
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 3: I go, oh, okay, all right, you know, but Penn State.

1258
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 2: Scores in the twenties got for a mid thirty like

1259
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 2: then I then I that's what my issue was. Where

1283
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 2: early game is an interesting game. I'm curious to see

1284
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 2: kind of where your head is. In fact, we're gonna

1285
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 2: be talking to Anthony Beck coming up in about ninety minutes.

1286
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 2: Anthony is of course played for the Jets and the

1287
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 2: West Virginia and in fact the West virgin Junior job

1288
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 2: is open. I'm curious. I want to ask him about

1289
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 2: that and the other thing. His son, Rocko Becked of course,

1290
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 2: playing in the Big Twelve Championship, has had a great season.

1291
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 2: Iowa State and Arizona State, how do you feeling about

1292
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 2: that one?

1293
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 3: That's a newon kickoff.

1294
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, so this is strength on weakness on both sides

1295
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 4: of the ball. I think there's gonna be a lot

1296
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:29,840
Speaker 4: of points in this game because Arizona State right now

1297
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 4: is run of the football, absolutely incredible, scatabo, absolutely on fire.

1298
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 4: Iowa State's run defense is not good. Conversely, Iowa State's

1299
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:42,479
Speaker 4: got two thousand yard receivers. You just mentioned the fact

1300
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 4: that beck is playing lights out, which he is, and

1301
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 4: Arizona State the back of their defense can get got right.

1302
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 5: So this is a little bit of These are two

1303
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 5: teams that.

1304
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:53,959
Speaker 4: I think are really evenly matched up, but they're both

1305
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 4: a bad matchup for each other. So I think it's

1306
01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 4: kind of interesting to see how this plays out. It's

1307
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 4: just gonna have to be able to handle and you

1308
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 4: know this, I'm sure coach is gonna reference this like,

1309
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 4: you want to win games like this, You've got to

1310
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 4: be able to at least slow down the run. I

1311
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 4: think Iowa States defense is just gonna have to show up.

1312
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 4: They're gonna have to figure out creative scheme ways to

1313
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:16,920
Speaker 4: stop Scatamo from just scattering all over the place.

1314
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 5: If they can do that, they can win this game.

1315
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 4: But that's a that's a tall If I'm Arizona State, man,

1316
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 4: I just I want to hand the ball off as

1317
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 4: much as possible. I want to find cute little ways

1318
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 4: out of the backfield to get Scatambo of the ball.

1319
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 4: I want to control time of possession. I want to

1320
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 4: do all of those things. If I'm Iowa State, I'm

1321
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 4: sneaky explosive in this game.

1322
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I dude, I it's funny kind of right. It

1323
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 2: the same way where And I do think there's gonna

1324
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 2: be big points in this game, and it'll be interesting

1325
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 2: to see who gets stops, because I think this game

1326
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 2: is all gonna be about that exactly, that can they

1327
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 2: get stops? And I tell you, man, I always States

1328
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 2: are greats through both great stories, right, It's it's really

1329
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a really good game too.

1330
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1331
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 4: And by the way, I know they're currently fifteen and sixteen, respectively,

1332
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 4: but one of these teams is likely to end up well.

1333
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:12,240
Speaker 4: One of these teams, probably, barring what happens with Clemson,

1334
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 4: will end up the twelve seed in the playoffs. I

1335
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 4: believe both of these teams can create a nightmare for

1336
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 4: some of the other playoff teams. Like this is, Arizona

1337
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 4: State and Iowa State are better teams than they're getting

1338
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 4: credit for from the committee. I think that in the

1339
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 4: world of valuing the South Carolinas and all misses of

1340
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 4: the world, which is fine, nothing against the SEC all in,

1341
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 4: that's fine, don't come at me SEC people. I just

1342
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 4: think that maybe they've slept on West Coast football a

1343
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 4: little bit. With Arizona State, who's particularly hot, and I

1344
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 4: don't know that I always Tate ever gets a level

1345
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 4: of attention that they likely deserve. So both of these

1346
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 4: teams get into the College Football Playoff, both of these

1347
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 4: teams create a situation for whoever they play in the

1348
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:52,680
Speaker 4: first round.

1349
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 2: When you look at and then of course when you

1350
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:01,520
Speaker 2: go up to tonight talked about Oregon Penn State, but

1351
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 2: obviously SMU Clemson.

1352
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 3: Will have the other. That's the other piece of the puzzle.

1353
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 2: And then once that plays out, it's all right where

1354
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 2: we're at now you kind of.

1355
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 3: It seems like you're leanings.

1356
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 4: Like no, no no, I like SMBU. I want look,

1357
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 4: I want Clemson to win only because I want to

1358
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 4: see pure chaos and because I want to challenge the

1359
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 4: entire process of college football conference championship games. I genuinely,

1360
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:33,320
Speaker 4: loudly believe that the college football championship games should not

1361
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 4: count as a win or a loss. I believe that

1362
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 4: the loser should not be punished wherever they are ranked.

1363
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 5: Coming.

1364
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 4: If the committee today believes that SMU, as it stands

1365
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:46,480
Speaker 4: right now, is better than Alabama, then I don't see

1366
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:48,960
Speaker 4: how you can suddenly punish them for playing this game

1367
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 4: when Alabama is not playing in a conference championship game,

1368
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 4: unless you want to give teams the opportunity to simply

1369
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 4: bypass the game and refuse the invite.

1370
01:05:57,600 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 5: I don't think you can punish a team for going

1371
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 5: to the conference championship game.

1372
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:05,480
Speaker 4: So I hate a system that would see SMU upset

1373
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:08,439
Speaker 4: and then suddenly it's like, well, you were I get

1374
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 4: if you weren't, if you're if you're out of the

1375
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 4: conversation completely fine, but you want to tell me that

1376
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 4: currently you think that this team is better than Alabama

1377
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:17,959
Speaker 4: but then because they lose to Clemson a game they're

1378
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 4: forced to play in that they're now not as good

1379
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:21,480
Speaker 4: as Alabama.

1380
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 5: Like, I have a hard time with that.

1381
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:25,040
Speaker 4: So I want to see it just because I want

1382
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:27,240
Speaker 4: to challenge the entire notion and I want to see

1383
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:29,280
Speaker 4: how the committee handles it. I want to know for

1384
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 4: sure how this all moves forward. I think SMU wins

1385
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 4: this football. SMU being a little undervalued in this process,

1386
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:38,920
Speaker 4: I think they were. Yeah, I think so instincts this year, by.

1387
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 2: The way, you and I see it the same way.

1388
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 10: Man, you and I see the exact same way. You

1389
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:47,919
Speaker 10: know what's going to be funny.

1390
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 2: Tomorrow is going to be the show and we'll find out,

1391
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 2: you know what it looks like.

1392
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 3: Where are you at? Like, where are you at with it?

1393
01:06:57,480 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 5: Well?

1394
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 4: With with the the entire process is Look this this

1395
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:06,840
Speaker 4: should have been something we could have seen coming to me.

1396
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 5: Having a committee that ranks the top.

1397
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 4: Twelve, but the top twelve don't actually get in, and

1398
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 4: then having seating on top of all of this, and

1399
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:19,680
Speaker 4: having a system that, my god, every single week Rhees Davis.

1400
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 5: Has to explain it.

1401
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 4: And you know, we still have people that are wildly

1402
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 4: confused and casual fans that are confused, and you know,

1403
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:29,320
Speaker 4: I think the system as it was set up feels

1404
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:31,560
Speaker 4: like the first time you play a new board game

1405
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 4: with your friends and you know, you sit down, You're.

1406
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:35,919
Speaker 5: Like, I got this really easy board game. I'm gonna

1407
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 5: explain it to you.

1408
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 4: My eyes gloss over in like two minutes, and I'm like, man,

1409
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 4: I got nothing. I no longer know what you're talking about.

1410
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:45,400
Speaker 4: And that's how I feel every single week when I watch,

1411
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 4: just like we do our Yahoo the College Football Power Hour,

1412
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:52,680
Speaker 4: we tape our Tuesday show right after the playoff, and

1413
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 4: like we're sitting here taking notes throughout the course of it, saying, Okay,

1414
01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:58,840
Speaker 4: so this matchup would be this, and this would be this.

1415
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 4: Having a system that confusing is something they should have

1416
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 4: seen coming and should have said, hey, this isn't a

1417
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:08,040
Speaker 4: good idea. So I hate that portion of it. I,

1418
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 4: like I said, I hate that we're already sitting here

1419
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:13,440
Speaker 4: looking at some of these teams, Like I anticipated the

1420
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 4: possibility of bid thieves, but there's a difference between sixty

1421
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:18,599
Speaker 4: four teams in the NCAA tournament and a bid thief,

1422
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 4: you know, for a small school versus you know there's

1423
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:23,839
Speaker 4: even a difference to me in some ways of UNLV

1424
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:25,759
Speaker 4: stealing BYU or BYU.

1425
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:27,840
Speaker 5: Boise states bid feels.

1426
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 4: Different to me than SMU suddenly getting knocked out of

1427
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:33,600
Speaker 4: the thing. Like, I have a really hard time with

1428
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 4: the way this is laid out, and I think they

1429
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:38,520
Speaker 4: should have done a better job of anticipating the improper

1430
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:39,919
Speaker 4: chaos that they were creating.

1431
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:42,320
Speaker 2: What do you think the offsheat's going to be because

1432
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 2: everybody agrees, like it's still you're sitting here going all right,

1433
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 2: it's got to be tweaked. They know it has to

1434
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:49,760
Speaker 2: be tweaked.

1435
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:51,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they're gonna use all of this to

1436
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:54,400
Speaker 4: get to sixteen. Yeah, they're gonna use all this. But

1437
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 4: the one thing I will say it.

1438
01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:58,880
Speaker 3: Should be, but I'll be honest with you, it should

1439
01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 3: be sixteen. Thiss just a number.

1440
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:03,360
Speaker 5: Totally agree, but I will be honest.

1441
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 4: I said a few months ago that my number one

1442
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:10,599
Speaker 4: concern little inside baseball here. But when I was working

1443
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:14,280
Speaker 4: at ESPN, we would go in on our show because

1444
01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:17,320
Speaker 4: a bunch of us on radio worked in college football.

1445
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 4: We would go in on our show and have these

1446
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 4: big college football takes, and the bosses are going to say, yeah,

1447
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:25,160
Speaker 4: nobody cares. And in fact, if you are regular listener

1448
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:27,599
Speaker 4: to Pat McAfee, he's explained this on his show as well,

1449
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 4: like that, as much as he loves college football, the

1450
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:32,439
Speaker 4: numbers show that when you start talking about college football

1451
01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:34,680
Speaker 4: sometimes people just gloss over. They don't care about. At

1452
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 4: the same level, this is all real studied metrics. My

1453
01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:40,840
Speaker 4: biggest concern with the expansion of the playoffs was that

1454
01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:43,800
Speaker 4: the committee was giving us a reason to talk every

1455
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 4: Tuesday and Wednesday, who were.

1456
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:46,920
Speaker 5: The top four teams? Blah blah blah blah blah.

1457
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 4: And I was concerned by going to twelve that that

1458
01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:53,280
Speaker 4: drama would end. Instead, I was wrong. Instead, now what

1459
01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:55,960
Speaker 4: do we see even more? My god, Like, as I

1460
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 4: was flipping through watching a Little Get Up the other day,

1461
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 4: like all get Up was talking about, you know, frankly,

1462
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 4: this college football playoff ranking over and over and over again,

1463
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 4: like Tuesdays and Wednesdays have been even more polarizing because

1464
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:10,400
Speaker 4: does Alabama still get in? So I was completely wrong

1465
01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:12,479
Speaker 4: about it. Every time we expand though, that's going to

1466
01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:14,559
Speaker 4: be my big concern It is like, what does this

1467
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 4: mean for the overall conversation for casuals because I do

1468
01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:20,720
Speaker 4: think casual conversation helps grow sport. So that's that's my

1469
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:23,360
Speaker 4: one concern about moving to sixteen. I like the drama

1470
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 4: that it's created. I just think they could have done

1471
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:27,560
Speaker 4: a better job with the twelve process.

1472
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, I'm with you, I quite frankly.

1473
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:37,400
Speaker 2: I still I'm still surprised they just didn't go with sixteen.

1474
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:37,599
Speaker 3: Off the bat.

1475
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:39,640
Speaker 5: Yeah I am.

1476
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:43,519
Speaker 2: It's just an easy it's just an easier number. It

1477
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:46,360
Speaker 2: makes sense, it's an easier number. And then you don't

1478
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 2: you don't.

1479
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:47,880
Speaker 3: Have to change it again.

1480
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:54,880
Speaker 2: The biggest problem and why they just haven't gotten it right, is.

1481
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:56,760
Speaker 3: They have to change it. They had to change it

1482
01:10:56,760 --> 01:10:57,799
Speaker 3: at the time they.

1483
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:00,200
Speaker 2: Finally got it right with a playoff, which is it's

1484
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:02,880
Speaker 2: amazingly it took this long to figure it out, but

1485
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:05,640
Speaker 2: they fly at that piece of it right right, and

1486
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 2: then and make sure change it because you don't even

1487
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:11,320
Speaker 2: to change it again. It's the stupidest thing in the world.

1488
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:14,519
Speaker 2: It's like the NCUBLEA tournament is perfect. I don't know

1489
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:18,639
Speaker 2: why they're talking about changing and adding to like there's

1490
01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:22,720
Speaker 2: no need to make it even more bigger. I don't

1491
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 2: get that. But you know they've had a nice perfect number.

1492
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:29,760
Speaker 2: You know they're all trying, you're all greedy bastard, so

1493
01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:33,040
Speaker 2: you know they play in games and this and that,

1494
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 2: but sixty four.

1495
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 5: It works, I will say too.

1496
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:40,080
Speaker 4: Like one thing that my logic was challenged on that

1497
01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:42,799
Speaker 4: I did not realize when I got into this business.

1498
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:47,840
Speaker 4: I always thought, Okay, NCAA tournament, we love underdogs, we

1499
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:50,759
Speaker 4: want to see wild, incredible stories. That's what everybody wants.

1500
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:53,760
Speaker 4: Give me total chaos. And then I worked with enough

1501
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:56,559
Speaker 4: people that cared enough about the numbers. There's like, actually,

1502
01:11:57,160 --> 01:11:59,080
Speaker 4: if you look at the numbers.

1503
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:01,240
Speaker 5: People don't really want Like people in the first round

1504
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:02,879
Speaker 5: want wild upsets.

1505
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:06,360
Speaker 4: But when you look at championship games, everybody wants at

1506
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:08,280
Speaker 4: the end of the day, people want North Carolina Duke

1507
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:08,479
Speaker 4: for the.

1508
01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 5: National championship in college basketball. And I didn't realize that.

1509
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:12,800
Speaker 4: And I looked at some of the numbers and went

1510
01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:14,519
Speaker 4: through it with people smarter than me, and I was like, Ah,

1511
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:16,600
Speaker 4: you're right, people want upsets in the first round, but

1512
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:18,519
Speaker 4: you want some teams to survive.

1513
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:21,280
Speaker 5: I'm genuinely curious to see what happens here.

1514
01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:25,080
Speaker 4: Like would the world actually want an Arizona State, Boise

1515
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:27,280
Speaker 4: State college football National Championship game.

1516
01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:28,599
Speaker 5: I don't know the answer to that.

1517
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:31,639
Speaker 4: I think people would really want Arizona State or Boise

1518
01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:33,800
Speaker 4: State to win a first round game, but to still

1519
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:37,200
Speaker 4: wake up with you know, Texas versus Ohio State.

1520
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:37,479
Speaker 5: You know.

1521
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:40,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, people want big brands in championships. So I do

1522
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:43,200
Speaker 4: think that's interesting. The bigger you get, the more chance

1523
01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 4: you get of not getting that that you want in

1524
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 4: this process.

1525
01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:48,920
Speaker 3: It is interesting. I don't get to take quick to you.

1526
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:53,839
Speaker 2: We'll do that, but it's interesting that you say people

1527
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 2: don't really want to hear about the inner workings of

1528
01:12:58,439 --> 01:12:59,920
Speaker 2: college football or college basket.

1529
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:00,680
Speaker 3: Come on that.

1530
01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:02,760
Speaker 2: We love the tournament, right, but they don't really want

1531
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:04,040
Speaker 2: to talk about it during the week.

1532
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:07,000
Speaker 3: Is think about Pond.

1533
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 5: I'll give your thoughts on that.

1534
01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:09,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to.

1535
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 2: Hear because you obviously done a lot of research into

1536
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:14,120
Speaker 2: it and it really interests me. We're the fellas hanging

1545
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 3: Christmas stuff, right.

1546
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:56,519
Speaker 2: Okay, so the idea of Charlie Brown came up, and

1547
01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:03,639
Speaker 2: everybody agreed that among all the classics, that Charlie Brown

1548
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:04,600
Speaker 2: is the weaklink.

1549
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:06,640
Speaker 3: Do you agree?

1550
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:12,280
Speaker 4: So the hardest part about these things is removing your

1551
01:14:12,320 --> 01:14:16,439
Speaker 4: own sentimental attachment, right, So I think that's the hard

1552
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:20,439
Speaker 4: part for people. You know, in most of our age groups,

1553
01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:22,800
Speaker 4: Like there was a couple of things you have to

1554
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:27,720
Speaker 4: factor in. One pre streaming, these specials being on were

1555
01:14:27,760 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 4: really significant. You know, you would sit down with your

1556
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:31,760
Speaker 4: family and it was like, hey, it's a big deal

1557
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:34,479
Speaker 4: that Charlie Brown Christmas special is on. We're going to

1558
01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:38,200
Speaker 4: watch this as a family. So I think it holds

1559
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:40,200
Speaker 4: a special place in a lot of people's hearts. That

1560
01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:43,920
Speaker 4: being said, I think it moves slow, like it just

1561
01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:47,000
Speaker 4: it moves, it moves a little slow. And if we're

1562
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 4: comparing it to the you know, Rudolph's or you know,

1563
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:53,479
Speaker 4: like there's no heat miser snow miser moment in this,

1564
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:56,479
Speaker 4: Like there's no island in the misfit toys in this

1565
01:14:56,680 --> 01:15:00,679
Speaker 4: like it's kind of a it's a slow moving, kind

1566
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:04,080
Speaker 4: of one dimensional story. So I don't disagree with it,

1567
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:07,440
Speaker 4: but I also I feel like it has a nostalgic

1568
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:09,040
Speaker 4: place in my heart that I have to watch it.

1569
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:12,120
Speaker 4: But when I watch it, like I find myself still

1570
01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:14,000
Speaker 4: laughing to this day in the animated world, I still

1571
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:17,479
Speaker 4: laugh at like the Garfield Thanksgiving Special for example. I

1572
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:21,479
Speaker 4: don't I don't find myself like sitting there attached to

1573
01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:23,760
Speaker 4: every second of Charlie Brown. So I off the top

1574
01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:26,080
Speaker 4: of my head, I would agree that maybe maybe it

1575
01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:28,599
Speaker 4: doesn't hold up as much as it like doesn't hold

1576
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:30,680
Speaker 4: us up as much as Rootolph for Santa Claus is

1577
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:31,080
Speaker 4: coming to.

1578
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:33,719
Speaker 3: Town, or you're out of Santa Claus.

1579
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:35,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're without a Santa Claus or Frosty.

1580
01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:37,599
Speaker 5: Those are all better. Those are all better.

1581
01:15:37,680 --> 01:15:44,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, I will say Now it did bring a

1582
01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:48,720
Speaker 2: staying like part of the lexicon of of our holiday think,

1583
01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:50,360
Speaker 2: which is the Charlie Brown tree.

1584
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:53,040
Speaker 3: The Charlie Brown tree.

1585
01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:57,240
Speaker 2: As has like made it right like it used to

1586
01:15:57,280 --> 01:15:59,320
Speaker 2: this day people go looking for a tree to go

1587
01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 2: and they see an emaciated tree.

1588
01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:03,719
Speaker 3: They go out to Charlie Brown Tree.

1589
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:07,040
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, well, and people still go out there and

1590
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:10,160
Speaker 4: buy small versions of that for core.

1591
01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:12,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the tree and.

1592
01:16:12,439 --> 01:16:18,640
Speaker 2: Then Chlie understood like my family, Charlie Brown Tree, Charlie.

1593
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:20,439
Speaker 5: I also I love that.

1594
01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:24,240
Speaker 4: By the way, if you have to explain why something

1595
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:27,360
Speaker 4: is significant, then it probably has lost some of its significance.

1596
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:28,400
Speaker 5: I will agree with that.

1597
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:31,120
Speaker 4: As I say this, I do think we have to

1598
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:33,200
Speaker 4: remember the fact that it was voiced by kids, which

1599
01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:37,480
Speaker 4: was such an uncommon thing, gave me a real authenticity

1600
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:39,240
Speaker 4: to the way it was broadcast. And then, as many

1601
01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:42,360
Speaker 4: people now know, the fact that, like I'm not a

1602
01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:45,760
Speaker 4: particularly religious person myself, but the fact that the end

1603
01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:49,800
Speaker 4: of that is so pointed religious, and the fact that

1604
01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:52,880
Speaker 4: at the time broadcast companies weren't sure if that was something.

1605
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:54,400
Speaker 5: That should even be shown, all the way back in.

1606
01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:57,400
Speaker 4: This whatever, the seventies whenever, that was the fact that

1607
01:16:57,439 --> 01:16:59,160
Speaker 4: they had to fight to get that on air, and

1608
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:02,599
Speaker 4: then that became such a special and important, poignant moment

1609
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:06,880
Speaker 4: in cartoon American history television wise, Like, I think that

1610
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:10,479
Speaker 4: there's there's historical context to it that matters. But again,

1611
01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:13,240
Speaker 4: if I'm sitting here having to explain to somebody why

1612
01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:16,360
Speaker 4: that was contextually an important thing. That means the context

1613
01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 4: has been lost, which means it doesn't have the same power.

1614
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:22,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great thought. But yeah, great point, great point.

1615
01:17:23,640 --> 01:17:25,559
Speaker 2: Uh you brought it up. But I have to say,

1616
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:30,679
Speaker 2: my least favorite of all them and my least favorite character,

1617
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:33,560
Speaker 2: it's Frosty the Foghezy.

1618
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:36,960
Speaker 5: You don't like Frosty the fugazy.

1619
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:40,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, frost Still, he's that's the worst of the all

1620
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:41,640
Speaker 2: the shows.

1621
01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:44,120
Speaker 3: Frosty is the worst.

1622
01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:46,960
Speaker 5: Okay, so give me what you don't like about Frosty.

1623
01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:52,040
Speaker 2: It's got no substance. I mean, I would have liked her.

1624
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:52,960
Speaker 2: He's gonna be a puddle.

1625
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:58,479
Speaker 4: That's only funny. All right, This is a weird way

1626
01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:01,519
Speaker 4: to tie this all in. But like when I went

1627
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:03,280
Speaker 4: to see the first Hostile movie, I love that. I'm

1628
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:05,799
Speaker 4: about to tie Frosty to Hostile. But I went to

1629
01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:08,320
Speaker 4: see the first Hostile movie as a horror movie fanatic.

1630
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:10,320
Speaker 5: I walked out and everybody's like, what did you think?

1631
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:12,320
Speaker 4: And I said, man, like, you got to make me

1632
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:14,640
Speaker 4: care about somebody at least a little bit before you

1633
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:15,640
Speaker 4: just start torturing them.

1634
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:18,120
Speaker 5: Otherwise I don't really care that they're being tortured. I

1635
01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:18,720
Speaker 5: love that that.

1636
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 4: That's now all I can think of with Frosty is like,

1637
01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:23,760
Speaker 4: if you're just going to turn around and tell me

1638
01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 4: that like it is. You know what I didn't like

1639
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:28,840
Speaker 4: about Frosty. There's one thing that really stands out to me.

1640
01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:32,080
Speaker 4: I didn't like the voice of Frosty. I just didn't

1641
01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:34,719
Speaker 4: know it as as Fraust now now.

1642
01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:42,640
Speaker 2: The voice, You're right, he was unlikable. Yeah, not really likable, dude, Frosty.

1643
01:18:42,680 --> 01:18:43,599
Speaker 3: To be honest with you.

1644
01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:47,479
Speaker 4: I didn't like the voice of the Magician either, Like,

1645
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:49,920
Speaker 4: voices are big for me. Like, look, I'm the one

1646
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 4: person in the world that never like Space Jam. And

1647
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:54,559
Speaker 4: the reason I didn't like Space Jam the movie was

1648
01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:56,240
Speaker 4: because I grew up a huge.

1649
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:57,559
Speaker 5: Warner Brothers fan as a kid.

1650
01:18:57,960 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 4: And the fact that they just couldn't find him per

1651
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:03,280
Speaker 4: senators like this was after the famous voice over artists

1652
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:05,839
Speaker 4: had died, and so you had a different voice for bugs,

1653
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:08,639
Speaker 4: and like it was all close, but not close enough

1654
01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:12,400
Speaker 4: to work for me. So I'm a big voice guy, Like,

1655
01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 4: so yeah, out on the voice of Frosty, out on

1656
01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:18,960
Speaker 4: the voice of the Magician. Yeah, maybe you know Frosty's

1657
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:20,760
Speaker 4: squarely in the okay category.

1658
01:19:21,479 --> 01:19:26,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know, I'm out real quick. Frosty, hit

1659
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:29,720
Speaker 3: me with hit me with this.

1660
01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:33,400
Speaker 2: You guys did a lot at ESPN, did a lot

1661
01:19:33,439 --> 01:19:37,080
Speaker 2: of science behind what people liked.

1662
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:40,680
Speaker 3: I'm fascinated by this, and you're saying.

1663
01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:46,480
Speaker 4: What people don't listen to college football content after Saturdays,

1683
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:53,360
Speaker 2: It is the rematch Texas and Georgia. Let's focus in

1684
01:20:53,439 --> 01:20:57,320
Speaker 2: on that one to start right off the bat. I'd

1685
01:20:57,360 --> 01:21:03,000
Speaker 2: like Texas in the first game and Georgia dominated, right

1686
01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:06,479
Speaker 2: I like Texas again today. I don't know what it is.

1687
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:09,920
Speaker 2: I just think they're playing better football. I don't like

1688
01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:13,960
Speaker 2: the way Georgia looks. I keep looking at speaking of

1689
01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:19,240
Speaker 2: explosive lacking explosive players. That's what it's Georgia team. Man,

1690
01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:23,479
Speaker 2: how bad did they miss Bowers and McConkie. I keep

1691
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:27,040
Speaker 2: going back to that. I expect a much better performance

1692
01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:28,040
Speaker 2: out of Texas today.

1693
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:33,240
Speaker 4: So do I and Frankly that Texas defense is a

1694
01:21:33,280 --> 01:21:37,519
Speaker 4: bunch of men playing college football. The Texas defense flies,

1695
01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:40,360
Speaker 4: They're fast, they hit hard, they can do everything at

1696
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:42,519
Speaker 4: every level of the defense, and most importantly to me,

1697
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:43,599
Speaker 4: they just don't make.

1698
01:21:43,479 --> 01:21:44,400
Speaker 5: A lot of mistakes.

1699
01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:48,360
Speaker 4: You know, so much of high quality defense at college

1700
01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:51,800
Speaker 4: or the NFL is about communication, and Texas does that

1701
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:54,240
Speaker 4: really well right now. Texas is running the ball better

1702
01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 4: over the course of the last month of the season

1703
01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:59,559
Speaker 4: as well, so there's a lot to like Frankly about

1704
01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:02,280
Speaker 4: where they are at this point. And the way they

1705
01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:05,040
Speaker 4: look now, I'm with you. I'm the first to admit that.

1706
01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:09,599
Speaker 4: I also frankly thought that Texas win the first game

1707
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:12,759
Speaker 4: and they didn't. Carson Beck playing better, He's playing cleaner

1708
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:14,920
Speaker 4: football over the course of the last few weeks. He's

1709
01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:17,599
Speaker 4: gotten a little hotter. But you're right, like, how often

1710
01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:19,240
Speaker 4: do I say this is the hill I've died on

1711
01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:22,760
Speaker 4: all year? It served me most weeks, it will serve me.

1712
01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:25,000
Speaker 4: I believe in the playoffs, I want to know what

1713
01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:27,720
Speaker 4: your plan is on third and seven, because you're inevitably

1714
01:22:27,800 --> 01:22:30,400
Speaker 4: in big games, in playoff games, in a championship game,

1715
01:22:30,439 --> 01:22:33,040
Speaker 4: in like opponent games, you are going to have to

1716
01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:36,560
Speaker 4: have somebody that can save you in third and manageably

1717
01:22:36,640 --> 01:22:39,400
Speaker 4: long down in distance. I don't know who that person is.

1718
01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:42,519
Speaker 4: For Georgia, I don't trust any of their weapons to

1719
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:45,080
Speaker 4: be that go to guy, and I don't trust their

1720
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:48,760
Speaker 4: quarterback to be able to do that without forcing the

1721
01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 4: football which creates turnovers. So that all of this leads

1722
01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:55,040
Speaker 4: me to the other side, where Texas has a quarterback that,

1723
01:22:55,080 --> 01:22:57,840
Speaker 4: while quinn Ewers hasn't played as well post injury as

1724
01:22:57,840 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 4: he was pre injury, I think he's taking a little

1725
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,400
Speaker 4: step back over the course of the year.

1726
01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:03,280
Speaker 5: He's playing well enough, he's.

1727
01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:04,759
Speaker 4: Got to still got to get a little more accurate

1728
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:07,880
Speaker 4: on some of the deep balls, and the Arts is

1729
01:23:07,880 --> 01:23:10,640
Speaker 4: going to play man. Yeah, I mean the Arts thing

1730
01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:12,960
Speaker 4: in the goal line too has been interesting. Like Georgia's

1731
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:14,840
Speaker 4: got to account for that. They've got to work on that.

1732
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:17,960
Speaker 4: There's a package of plays for Arts. So I just

1733
01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:22,120
Speaker 4: man in this situation. As much as I trust Kirby Smart,

1734
01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:24,280
Speaker 4: I don't trust Georgia to be able to execute at

1735
01:23:24,280 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 4: the level they need to. I don't trust Georgia not

1736
01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:28,599
Speaker 4: to drop the football. They still need all of college

1737
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:31,439
Speaker 4: football and drop passes this year. Like I think Texas

1738
01:23:31,479 --> 01:23:32,360
Speaker 4: wins this game.

1739
01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 3: So I do too.

1740
01:23:34,439 --> 01:23:36,920
Speaker 2: And one of the things that you know, I like

1741
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:39,599
Speaker 2: to go back and go all right because I liked

1742
01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:44,519
Speaker 2: I also like Texas back on when they first played

1743
01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:49,720
Speaker 2: right and it was what was that week six weeks?

1744
01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:53,840
Speaker 2: It was week six, and I like Texas that I

1745
01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 2: remember thinking, like, you know, I don't know that this

1746
01:23:56,439 --> 01:23:59,360
Speaker 2: Georgia team is not what they what they were offensively

1747
01:23:59,479 --> 01:24:03,240
Speaker 2: because of you see, clearly they missed Bowers, Clearly they

1748
01:24:03,240 --> 01:24:06,960
Speaker 2: missed mcconkeye, And I went back and look at that game,

1749
01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:09,559
Speaker 2: and one of the things that you see is, obviously

1750
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:14,080
Speaker 2: Texas turned the ball over four times. Georgia turned the

1751
01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:18,200
Speaker 2: ball over three times, but Texas four times. Early Georgia

1752
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:21,960
Speaker 2: had one drive of note, if you look at their

1753
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:29,120
Speaker 2: scoring drives, their first touchdown came after a Texas fumble,

1754
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:32,720
Speaker 2: so they got a short field and took over at

1755
01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:37,559
Speaker 2: the thirteen to Texas thirteen. Their next touchdown came after

1756
01:24:37,600 --> 01:24:42,960
Speaker 2: an interception. They took over after at the Texas thirty four, right,

1757
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:45,920
Speaker 2: So you saw their field goals. You saw their points

1758
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:48,439
Speaker 2: early come off of the same thing. Then there was

1759
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:51,759
Speaker 2: a short punt, they take over at their own forty five,

1760
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:55,519
Speaker 2: They drive down kick a field goal, so now twenty

1761
01:24:55,560 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 2: of their points have all come on short fields. Had

1762
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:05,400
Speaker 2: one big drive, it was in the second half and

1763
01:25:05,479 --> 01:25:08,920
Speaker 2: it came they started at their eleven and they drove

1764
01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:11,840
Speaker 2: the field, scored a touchdown. They were bullied by a

1765
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:16,920
Speaker 2: big play, a forty two yard reception by Dealt. So

1766
01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:20,880
Speaker 2: if you go back and look at it, Texas stills.

1767
01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:25,240
Speaker 2: Texas defense still had a major imprint on the game.

1768
01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:28,760
Speaker 2: They just were I thought they just were pinned down.

1769
01:25:28,760 --> 01:25:32,080
Speaker 2: They got you know, when George's got short fields, you know,

1770
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 2: that's they're gonna, they're gonna, they're gonna cash in.

1771
01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:39,439
Speaker 9: Yeah, that everything you just said is so smart that

1772
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:41,040
Speaker 9: it's an important part of why.

1773
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:43,559
Speaker 4: We have to remember game script matters and these things

1774
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:45,880
Speaker 4: right like, the way these things play out are far

1775
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:49,880
Speaker 4: different than the score. And there's another variable here that

1776
01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:53,599
Speaker 4: we're not used to on Conference Championship Saturday, and that's

1777
01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:57,640
Speaker 4: that nothing is secure for seating for the college football playoffs. Right,

1778
01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:01,479
Speaker 4: So if you are Texas and you know, we'll see

1779
01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:03,640
Speaker 4: what happens over the course of the day, but it

1780
01:26:03,680 --> 01:26:07,040
Speaker 4: does become interesting right now you're looking at it and saying, well, yeah,

1781
01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:08,280
Speaker 4: we could be SEC champions.

1782
01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:10,839
Speaker 5: That that's a great part of this year, Craig. That's fine.

1783
01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:13,040
Speaker 4: But the bigger part of the conversation for you right

1784
01:26:13,080 --> 01:26:15,479
Speaker 4: now is that you're looking at it and saying, hey,

1785
01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:18,400
Speaker 4: what you don't know is the outcome of Oregon at

1786
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:21,760
Speaker 4: Penn State. And so if your Texas, knowing that you

1787
01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:24,960
Speaker 4: kick off for in the afternoon and knowing that Eastern

1788
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:27,400
Speaker 4: time and that Oregon Penn State doesn't kick off until

1789
01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:30,320
Speaker 4: eight pm, you still got a shot at trying to

1790
01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:33,519
Speaker 4: get the number one seed, So like there is something

1791
01:26:33,640 --> 01:26:36,040
Speaker 4: huge for Texas to play for in the sense of

1792
01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:38,679
Speaker 4: wanting to be the top overall, not just the SEC champion.

1793
01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:42,000
Speaker 4: Finds that's great to win the SEC in your first year, Haza,

1794
01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:45,400
Speaker 4: but even bigger than that in the way that they

1795
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:47,640
Speaker 4: try to get to a national championship. You want to

1796
01:26:47,680 --> 01:26:51,040
Speaker 4: give yourself the best opportunity in the first your first game,

1797
01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:53,320
Speaker 4: the second round, to get the best opponent you can.

1798
01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:55,280
Speaker 4: Texas comes out with the focus of the gods in

1799
01:26:55,320 --> 01:26:58,439
Speaker 4: this one, because like there is a spot where if

1800
01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:01,880
Speaker 4: they were kicking off after Penn State, maybe they would

1801
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:03,720
Speaker 4: take the foot off the gas a little bit.

1802
01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:05,160
Speaker 5: I don't think they do that in here.

1803
01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:07,599
Speaker 4: I think texas Is objective is not just to beat

1804
01:27:07,680 --> 01:27:10,759
Speaker 4: Georgia Georgia, but they're going to try and slaughter Georgia

1805
01:27:10,840 --> 01:27:13,320
Speaker 4: if they can, simply because they want to make a

1806
01:27:13,360 --> 01:27:15,959
Speaker 4: statement with the committee. Remember, this is the only weekend

1807
01:27:16,160 --> 01:27:18,839
Speaker 4: where the committee sits together in the room and watches

1808
01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:21,160
Speaker 4: the games with each other. It's the only weekend that

1809
01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:25,720
Speaker 4: happens a whole year. So a visual impression matters here.

1810
01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:28,080
Speaker 4: So if you're Texas, you're not just trying to win

1811
01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:31,160
Speaker 4: twenty eight to twenty one. If you're Texas more than ever,

1812
01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:33,720
Speaker 4: you're not just trying to win the SEC Championship game.

1813
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:35,840
Speaker 4: You're trying to win this thing forty five to ten,

1814
01:27:35,960 --> 01:27:38,439
Speaker 4: so that the committee walks away and says, man, Texas

1815
01:27:38,479 --> 01:27:40,840
Speaker 4: might actually be number one, depending on what happens in

1816
01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:41,479
Speaker 4: the night game.

1817
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:48,320
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, it's a great, great point. I'm completely with you.

1818
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:51,240
Speaker 2: I think you're gonna want to make a statement if

1819
01:27:51,280 --> 01:27:55,080
Speaker 2: you're Texas. And look, as long as you play clean,

1820
01:27:56,320 --> 01:27:57,600
Speaker 2: That's why I keep going back to it.

1821
01:27:57,600 --> 01:27:58,160
Speaker 3: As long as you.

1822
01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:01,479
Speaker 2: Play clean, I like them, and I like him. I

1823
01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:07,240
Speaker 2: like him by some margin too. You know, man, we

1824
01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:11,840
Speaker 2: talked about Carson Beck all year and I just had

1825
01:28:11,880 --> 01:28:16,479
Speaker 2: that same like once I realized was like, oh man,

1826
01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:17,880
Speaker 2: the kids got a long way to go.

1827
01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:19,559
Speaker 3: He's not what I thought he was.

1828
01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:24,120
Speaker 2: And I haven't shaken that feeling yet.

1829
01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:28,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, by the way, kudos for you, because you, again,

1830
01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:30,639
Speaker 4: you've been consistent on this for a lot of the year.

1831
01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:32,519
Speaker 4: There were people coming into the season that thought he

1832
01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:35,400
Speaker 4: was going to be the first overall pick in the draft,

1833
01:28:35,520 --> 01:28:38,040
Speaker 4: and you know, I think what we have to remember,

1834
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:40,960
Speaker 4: as I've said before, is that this shows you the

1835
01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:43,440
Speaker 4: value of Brock Bauers and lab Maconkey.

1836
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:44,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1837
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:47,200
Speaker 4: Frankly, he looked like a different quarterback last year when

1838
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:49,080
Speaker 4: he had two guys that have come in and made

1839
01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:52,680
Speaker 4: immediate Sunday impact playing with him on Saturday. And so

1840
01:28:53,320 --> 01:28:55,479
Speaker 4: can he find the guy when the guy's open?

1841
01:28:55,600 --> 01:28:55,800
Speaker 8: Yeah?

1842
01:28:55,880 --> 01:28:59,719
Speaker 4: Can he elevate everybody around him? And you know, even

1843
01:28:59,720 --> 01:29:02,240
Speaker 4: some of the people that I've talked to around Yahoo

1844
01:29:02,280 --> 01:29:04,400
Speaker 4: that are talking to people in the league have said

1845
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:07,400
Speaker 4: repeatedly that around the league there's a concept of Hey,

1846
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:09,400
Speaker 4: he's he's a he's a project.

1847
01:29:09,560 --> 01:29:10,040
Speaker 5: Don't take it.

1848
01:29:10,360 --> 01:29:12,040
Speaker 4: Don't take him at the beginning of the first If

1849
01:29:12,080 --> 01:29:14,080
Speaker 4: you're if you're telling me that Carson Beck is gonna

1850
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:16,240
Speaker 4: be drafted at the top of the second round and

1851
01:29:16,280 --> 01:29:19,599
Speaker 4: somebody's gonna try and develop them into his their starting quarterback,

1852
01:29:19,880 --> 01:29:22,920
Speaker 4: I understand at least rolling the dice on it. But man,

1853
01:29:23,280 --> 01:29:26,679
Speaker 4: my my fear is that for some team he's gonna

1854
01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:28,640
Speaker 4: go on a playoff run. Here Georgia goes on a

1855
01:29:28,640 --> 01:29:30,519
Speaker 4: little run and all of a sudden, Carson Beck finds

1856
01:29:30,600 --> 01:29:32,679
Speaker 4: himself a top ten drafted player.

1857
01:29:32,760 --> 01:29:36,720
Speaker 5: That's just that's absolute franchise suicide. Like I wouldn't do

1858
01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:37,640
Speaker 5: that at all now.

1859
01:29:37,960 --> 01:29:41,040
Speaker 2: And I think, you know, here's the problem. I think

1860
01:29:41,080 --> 01:29:43,920
Speaker 2: somebody's I think you're right. I think somebody's gonna overdraft them.

1861
01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:44,759
Speaker 5: Yep.

1862
01:29:45,040 --> 01:29:46,360
Speaker 3: And they're gonna overdraft him.

1863
01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:48,880
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna tell you why they're gonna overdraft him

1864
01:29:49,760 --> 01:29:52,719
Speaker 2: in the same vein they're gonna go, well, bow Knicks,

1865
01:29:52,760 --> 01:29:54,080
Speaker 2: look where bow Knicks was taken?

1866
01:29:54,320 --> 01:29:57,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I and he's not bow Knicks.

1867
01:29:57,280 --> 01:29:57,519
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1868
01:29:57,560 --> 01:30:00,759
Speaker 4: Also, whoever's drafting Carson Beck bet have Sean.

1869
01:30:00,560 --> 01:30:01,840
Speaker 5: Payton like I don't.

1870
01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:04,360
Speaker 4: I just don't believe that bos bo Nix would be

1871
01:30:04,520 --> 01:30:05,799
Speaker 4: bo Nicks right now.

1872
01:30:05,920 --> 01:30:06,960
Speaker 3: Without Peyton I agree with.

1873
01:30:08,320 --> 01:30:12,360
Speaker 4: And it's very specifically, not just even Sean Payton the coach,

1874
01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:16,120
Speaker 4: but Sean Payton the system worked. Yes, brow next to quarterback,

1875
01:30:16,200 --> 01:30:18,679
Speaker 4: like all of these things came together, and it's just, dude,

1876
01:30:18,720 --> 01:30:19,840
Speaker 4: he looks so good.

1877
01:30:20,640 --> 01:30:22,080
Speaker 3: He looks so good.

1878
01:30:22,640 --> 01:30:25,720
Speaker 2: I was watching like it's uh Cleveland or whatever, and

1879
01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:29,559
Speaker 2: you know, Jamis Is. I love Jameis. It makes me laugh.

1880
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:31,800
Speaker 3: He's he's a baller man.

1881
01:30:32,320 --> 01:30:36,479
Speaker 2: Touchdowns sixty yard touchdowns or sixty yard pick six is like,

1882
01:30:36,600 --> 01:30:40,479
Speaker 2: you know, but just watching it, and again, the Cleveland

1883
01:30:40,479 --> 01:30:43,280
Speaker 2: defense is still a good defense. And I'm watching bow necks.

1884
01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:46,479
Speaker 2: I'm going, man, the kids got it. Man, he's got

1885
01:30:47,760 --> 01:30:50,600
Speaker 2: he's got a lot of he's got in tangibles.

1886
01:30:51,160 --> 01:30:54,439
Speaker 3: He's he's learning the position. We could see it. Man,

1887
01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:57,320
Speaker 3: he's got a great arm. It looks fantastic.

1888
01:30:58,720 --> 01:31:03,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's there's just this moment of watching. And how

1889
01:31:03,720 --> 01:31:06,679
Speaker 4: often have we said coaching and systems matter in general?

1890
01:31:06,760 --> 01:31:11,519
Speaker 4: And I will remind everybody you know, in my previous

1891
01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:14,840
Speaker 4: life as a musician, I know that I was great

1892
01:31:14,960 --> 01:31:17,559
Speaker 4: as a fiddle player. I was a great fiddle player.

1893
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:21,200
Speaker 4: I say that humbly. I also can't play bluegrass worth

1894
01:31:21,240 --> 01:31:23,840
Speaker 4: a damn. And so the analogy I always use is

1895
01:31:23,880 --> 01:31:26,320
Speaker 4: if you walked by and I was out on you know,

1896
01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:28,000
Speaker 4: just sitting in with the band, and somebody threw me

1897
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:30,040
Speaker 4: a fiddle and they're like, hey, man, go play. If

1898
01:31:30,040 --> 01:31:32,000
Speaker 4: you asked me to play a bluegrass song, you'd walk

1899
01:31:32,040 --> 01:31:33,960
Speaker 4: by and you'd be like, man, that fiddle player sucks.

1900
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:35,720
Speaker 4: He's not good at all. Like that's just not what

1901
01:31:35,760 --> 01:31:37,680
Speaker 4: I'm good at. But if all of a sudden you

1902
01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:39,240
Speaker 4: turn around and said, hey, we need a pop country

1903
01:31:39,280 --> 01:31:40,960
Speaker 4: or rock country song, where like we need something with

1904
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:43,200
Speaker 4: a grittier vibe, and you let me.

1905
01:31:43,200 --> 01:31:43,680
Speaker 5: Rip on that.

1906
01:31:43,800 --> 01:31:45,600
Speaker 4: Everybody's gonna walk by and say, oh my god, that

1907
01:31:45,600 --> 01:31:46,519
Speaker 4: fiddle player is great.

1908
01:31:46,680 --> 01:31:49,920
Speaker 5: The fiddle player didn't change. What you're asking him to

1909
01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:50,519
Speaker 5: do changed.

1910
01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:52,640
Speaker 4: And I just I look at that in life for

1911
01:31:52,720 --> 01:31:55,000
Speaker 4: every and I don't care what you do. Like if

1912
01:31:55,040 --> 01:31:57,320
Speaker 4: you're a mechanic and suddenly you're being asked to work

1913
01:31:57,360 --> 01:32:00,720
Speaker 4: on styles of cars that you've never seen before, like

1914
01:32:00,800 --> 01:32:03,040
Speaker 4: maybe that's not your bag, but it doesn't mean you're

1915
01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:05,880
Speaker 4: not great. If you if you're a handyman and it's like, man,

1916
01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:07,960
Speaker 4: I'm really good at drywall, and all of a sudden,

1917
01:32:08,400 --> 01:32:10,479
Speaker 4: you you know, you buy a house that doesn't have

1918
01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:13,320
Speaker 4: any drywall off, like it's all plaster. It doesn't mean

1919
01:32:13,360 --> 01:32:15,280
Speaker 4: that you're not an It doesn't mean you're an idiot.

1920
01:32:15,479 --> 01:32:17,360
Speaker 4: It means you weren't putting the right system. And I

1921
01:32:17,439 --> 01:32:19,920
Speaker 4: just I just think we have to step back and

1922
01:32:19,960 --> 01:32:23,080
Speaker 4: stop asking ourselves and when when we're looking at the draft,

1923
01:32:23,160 --> 01:32:26,160
Speaker 4: now that there's no time anymore, now that nobody has

1924
01:32:26,240 --> 01:32:28,639
Speaker 4: patience in anything, I don't think you could just look

1925
01:32:28,640 --> 01:32:31,040
Speaker 4: at it and say, who is my team drafting? I

1926
01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:33,599
Speaker 4: think you have to take back a more nuanced approach

1927
01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:37,200
Speaker 4: and say who is my coach, what is our offensive philosophy,

1928
01:32:37,439 --> 01:32:40,400
Speaker 4: and how does this particular quarterback fit into it? And

1929
01:32:40,439 --> 01:32:43,360
Speaker 4: if all of those things don't align, it's not going

1930
01:32:43,400 --> 01:32:43,760
Speaker 4: to work.

1931
01:32:43,840 --> 01:32:47,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're spot on, bro, I mean I think you're

1932
01:32:47,880 --> 01:32:53,920
Speaker 2: spot on. Really yeah, I do so getting back to

1933
01:32:55,320 --> 01:32:59,240
Speaker 2: back and in this game. You know, so if we

1934
01:32:59,360 --> 01:33:05,280
Speaker 2: strap a eight and Texas wins, where is Georgia? Like,

1935
01:33:05,560 --> 01:33:09,559
Speaker 2: how big of a threat today? In this weird This

1936
01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:12,559
Speaker 2: is such a weird. It's a great year because it's

1937
01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:15,439
Speaker 2: got your chaosity. It's so hard to read. Like I

1938
01:33:15,439 --> 01:33:18,559
Speaker 2: look into Oregon, I go, I like Oregon, but like,

1939
01:33:18,640 --> 01:33:22,360
Speaker 2: you can't tell me that there's some overwhelming favorite. We

1940
01:33:22,400 --> 01:33:26,320
Speaker 2: already saw a high stake. It exposed Georgia. I got

1941
01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:28,439
Speaker 2: look at Texas. I go, I like Texas and I

1942
01:33:28,520 --> 01:33:31,920
Speaker 2: like them today to win, but they're beatable.

1943
01:33:32,640 --> 01:33:35,040
Speaker 3: I go back. You know what the team I keep

1944
01:33:35,120 --> 01:33:35,760
Speaker 3: going back to.

1945
01:33:36,560 --> 01:33:40,360
Speaker 2: And I'm an idiot because I said this back a

1946
01:33:40,400 --> 01:33:42,320
Speaker 2: couple months ago, and I do.

1947
01:33:42,479 --> 01:33:42,559
Speaker 8: So.

1948
01:33:42,600 --> 01:33:45,000
Speaker 2: I do a show at a local casino on a

1949
01:33:45,080 --> 01:33:47,960
Speaker 2: Wednesday night, and it's a football show. You know, the

1950
01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:50,680
Speaker 2: brain who comes on with us, he and I do

1951
01:33:50,760 --> 01:33:54,519
Speaker 2: an hour show that looks at the upcoming weekend card,

1952
01:33:55,840 --> 01:33:58,000
Speaker 2: and so we go through it and the whole thing,

1953
01:33:58,680 --> 01:34:01,040
Speaker 2: and I go, dude, you know what I like to be.

1954
01:34:01,280 --> 01:34:04,080
Speaker 2: You know what I like as a national championship team,

1955
01:34:04,520 --> 01:34:08,280
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. And at that point they were twenty eight

1956
01:34:08,320 --> 01:34:13,080
Speaker 2: to one, and you'd think I throw fifty bucks because

1957
01:34:13,120 --> 01:34:15,200
Speaker 2: I was there, and of course I didn't.

1958
01:34:17,640 --> 01:34:21,720
Speaker 4: So I can't make a compelling argument against Notre Dame.

1959
01:34:22,200 --> 01:34:24,519
Speaker 4: And I say it that way that sounds like a

1960
01:34:24,520 --> 01:34:25,439
Speaker 4: backhanded compliment.

1961
01:34:25,479 --> 01:34:25,800
Speaker 5: It's not.

1962
01:34:26,479 --> 01:34:28,920
Speaker 4: I am right now looking like as I have the

1963
01:34:29,280 --> 01:34:32,040
Speaker 4: CP rankings in front of me, I think there's a

1964
01:34:32,040 --> 01:34:36,720
Speaker 4: pretty compelling argument to be made against Alabama and what

1965
01:34:36,840 --> 01:34:40,000
Speaker 4: their fatal flaws. It's pretty easy to see their fatal flaws. Poise,

1966
01:34:40,840 --> 01:34:43,519
Speaker 4: I think you know, will be exposed at some point.

1967
01:34:43,560 --> 01:34:46,519
Speaker 4: Poise State. The fatal flaws of Indiana, we don't even

1968
01:34:46,560 --> 01:34:48,920
Speaker 4: need to go over. SMU has fatal flaws. Tennessee is

1969
01:34:48,960 --> 01:34:50,920
Speaker 4: the team I have loved all year, but man, do

1970
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:54,360
Speaker 4: they beat themselves. Their fatal flaws are so transparent. We

1971
01:34:54,600 --> 01:34:57,639
Speaker 4: just saw Ohio State and everything that can go wrong

1972
01:34:57,680 --> 01:35:00,000
Speaker 4: for Ohio State. We have seen what can go wrong

1973
01:35:00,120 --> 01:35:03,920
Speaker 4: for Georgia a couple of times, so that eliminates five

1974
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:05,840
Speaker 4: through twelve. As much as we're talking about who's going

1975
01:35:05,880 --> 01:35:08,639
Speaker 4: to make the college football Playoff, if I'm going five

1976
01:35:08,720 --> 01:35:10,760
Speaker 4: through twelve, I don't think any of them are true

1977
01:35:10,880 --> 01:35:13,920
Speaker 4: national championship team. Maybe they get hot at their best,

1978
01:35:13,960 --> 01:35:17,200
Speaker 4: maybe some of them can win, but consistent week in

1979
01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:18,960
Speaker 4: week out, I'm not scared of any of them. So

1980
01:35:19,040 --> 01:35:22,120
Speaker 4: when you look at the top four, I certainly we

1981
01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:24,880
Speaker 4: talked about the weaknesses of Penn State. I think this

1982
01:35:25,040 --> 01:35:28,240
Speaker 4: is really a three team race, Oregon, Texas, and Notre Dame.

1983
01:35:28,560 --> 01:35:31,160
Speaker 4: And I'm pretty surprised that I'm saying that about Notre

1984
01:35:31,240 --> 01:35:34,479
Speaker 4: Dame just because not because of their loss, the most

1985
01:35:34,479 --> 01:35:38,200
Speaker 4: inexcusable loss, but they lost some key players on the

1986
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:40,200
Speaker 4: defensive side of the ball and never took a step back.

1987
01:35:40,280 --> 01:35:43,880
Speaker 4: Like I do think that Notre Dame deserves a lot

1988
01:35:43,960 --> 01:35:46,160
Speaker 4: more conversation. I think right now, if I had to bet,

1989
01:35:46,320 --> 01:35:48,960
Speaker 4: if I was told I could place any one bet

1990
01:35:49,760 --> 01:35:53,200
Speaker 4: on the national championship and I'd had to plant my

1991
01:35:53,200 --> 01:35:55,000
Speaker 4: flag on it, I'm not sure I wouldn't plant that

1992
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:58,080
Speaker 4: flag for Texas, but I'll give you Texas as my

1993
01:35:58,200 --> 01:36:01,240
Speaker 4: one and Notre Dame is my one A and that

1994
01:36:01,280 --> 01:36:03,960
Speaker 4: feels so disrespectful to Oregon, who hasn't lost this year.

1995
01:36:04,400 --> 01:36:06,640
Speaker 2: Find out and I keep going back to it. I

1996
01:36:06,680 --> 01:36:09,559
Speaker 2: feel the same way, and I don't know why I

1997
01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:13,960
Speaker 2: feel that. Now, I do think tonight this is where

1998
01:36:14,280 --> 01:36:18,160
Speaker 2: the Oregon you know it gets flowers.

1999
01:36:19,040 --> 01:36:20,040
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna be.

2000
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:23,360
Speaker 2: On the stage and I right, it's gonna be the

2001
01:36:23,439 --> 01:36:27,479
Speaker 2: whole thing, and I think they were all and I

2002
01:36:27,520 --> 01:36:31,280
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be an Oregon party tonight. I don't

2003
01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:35,559
Speaker 2: know if it's gonna translate into the playoffs, but for tonight,

2004
01:36:35,720 --> 01:36:39,360
Speaker 2: I think you're gonna see it. I'm not sure why

2005
01:36:39,479 --> 01:36:43,559
Speaker 2: I'm so distrustful of them, but I end so let's

2006
01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:44,880
Speaker 2: just go over their schedule.

2007
01:36:44,600 --> 01:36:46,519
Speaker 5: Report, I'll say real quick to that point.

2008
01:36:46,640 --> 01:36:50,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, my preseason college football national champion pick was Oregon,

2009
01:36:51,200 --> 01:36:54,000
Speaker 4: and so I looked at this and I think that's

2010
01:36:54,040 --> 01:36:57,320
Speaker 4: part of why I'm met on that, Like Oregon hasn't

2011
01:36:57,360 --> 01:37:01,559
Speaker 4: done anything this year to outrun the hype that I

2012
01:37:01,560 --> 01:37:04,320
Speaker 4: felt like they had, and I'm not sure every week

2013
01:37:04,360 --> 01:37:06,280
Speaker 4: they've lived up to the hype that I thought they had.

2014
01:37:06,320 --> 01:37:09,360
Speaker 4: So I'm the I'm more than willing to admit that

2015
01:37:09,439 --> 01:37:11,439
Speaker 4: this is unfair grading on a curve like the kid

2016
01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:13,400
Speaker 4: in elementary school that was smarter than the rest of

2017
01:37:13,439 --> 01:37:15,680
Speaker 4: the class that is held to the higher standard. That

2018
01:37:15,840 --> 01:37:17,439
Speaker 4: is what I am doing to Oregon. I am the

2019
01:37:17,439 --> 01:37:20,719
Speaker 4: first to admit all they've done is is be great.

2020
01:37:21,080 --> 01:37:22,760
Speaker 4: And I'm looking at it and saying, yeah, I mean

2021
01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:24,680
Speaker 4: that's a minus. And I really thought you were an

2022
01:37:24,680 --> 01:37:27,280
Speaker 4: A plus kid, Like I'm willing to admit that.

2023
01:37:27,280 --> 01:37:28,760
Speaker 5: That's what I'm doing in my mind.

2024
01:37:28,479 --> 01:37:30,799
Speaker 2: I think I got the same thing, and no I didn't.

2025
01:37:31,200 --> 01:37:34,479
Speaker 2: They weren't my kudos to you. They were your preseason pick.

2026
01:37:35,120 --> 01:37:37,040
Speaker 2: They were not mine. I thought they'd be good, but

2027
01:37:37,040 --> 01:37:38,519
Speaker 2: I didn't think they weren't my pick.

2028
01:37:38,840 --> 01:37:40,360
Speaker 5: I picked them to beat Ole Miss So what the

2029
01:37:40,400 --> 01:37:40,920
Speaker 5: hell do I know?

2030
01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:44,000
Speaker 3: Homeless now? But I mean, seriously, I mean, it's a

2031
01:37:44,040 --> 01:37:44,439
Speaker 3: good pick.

2032
01:37:45,280 --> 01:37:48,960
Speaker 2: Except here's the I just maybe I think the same

2033
01:37:49,080 --> 01:37:53,200
Speaker 2: along the same lines. I think it's a great count

2034
01:37:53,280 --> 01:37:56,080
Speaker 2: like what you were saying about being an A my

2035
01:37:56,439 --> 01:37:59,080
Speaker 2: being an A plus student, and really in reality, they're

2036
01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:02,559
Speaker 2: a minus. And maybe that's why I think the same thing,

2037
01:38:02,600 --> 01:38:06,040
Speaker 2: because I go, I'm a little distrustful. Why I don't know,

2038
01:38:06,560 --> 01:38:10,120
Speaker 2: all right, They beat Idaho, they beat Boise by three,

2039
01:38:10,600 --> 01:38:15,679
Speaker 2: They roll Oregon State, they roll UCLA, they roll Michigan State.

2040
01:38:16,080 --> 01:38:21,639
Speaker 2: They had that epic game against Ohio State on October twelfth,

2041
01:38:21,640 --> 01:38:24,599
Speaker 2: the thirty two to thirty one game. They roll Perdue,

2042
01:38:25,120 --> 01:38:30,040
Speaker 2: they roll Illinois, they roll Michigan. They crush Michigan right

2043
01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:33,200
Speaker 2: like thirty eight to seventeen, and it was Routh City.

2044
01:38:33,640 --> 01:38:37,800
Speaker 2: They bury Maryland, they beat Wisconsin, it was a close game,

2045
01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:42,160
Speaker 2: and then they just beat and buried Washington. So it's

2046
01:38:42,160 --> 01:38:45,479
Speaker 2: not like they've done anything the right wing. I don't

2047
01:38:45,520 --> 01:38:48,840
Speaker 2: know why I don't trust them, But I is their defense,

2048
01:38:49,360 --> 01:38:50,880
Speaker 2: Like how good is their defense?

2049
01:38:51,400 --> 01:38:53,560
Speaker 4: Their pass rush is good, I'll get them there, but

2050
01:38:53,600 --> 01:38:58,040
Speaker 4: their pass rush is good? Yeah, yeah, I mean is

2051
01:38:58,080 --> 01:39:02,840
Speaker 4: their defense as physical as the I think so? Maybe

2052
01:39:02,880 --> 01:39:05,639
Speaker 4: the fact that I'm saying I think so is part

2053
01:39:05,680 --> 01:39:06,519
Speaker 4: of the problem though, But.

2054
01:39:06,479 --> 01:39:07,920
Speaker 3: You're not Texas defense.

2055
01:39:08,240 --> 01:39:14,360
Speaker 4: No, No, that's ye. That it's an interesting question. Maybe

2056
01:39:14,360 --> 01:39:16,000
Speaker 4: that is sort of the reason that that's.

2057
01:39:15,920 --> 01:39:17,760
Speaker 2: Kind of where I'm at, Like, like I think their

2058
01:39:17,800 --> 01:39:20,800
Speaker 2: offense is legit, like I you know, like I buy

2059
01:39:20,840 --> 01:39:21,439
Speaker 2: their offense.

2060
01:39:22,400 --> 01:39:23,479
Speaker 3: I'll learn a lot about them.

2061
01:39:23,479 --> 01:39:25,960
Speaker 2: They're like, because if Penn State goes up down the

2062
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:31,599
Speaker 2: field on them, then that's what I'm that's my that's

2063
01:39:31,680 --> 01:39:34,280
Speaker 2: the reason why I'm a little lukewarm on them as

2064
01:39:35,040 --> 01:39:35,840
Speaker 2: the favorite.

2065
01:39:36,040 --> 01:39:39,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't disagree with that at all. I think

2066
01:39:39,520 --> 01:39:41,000
Speaker 4: you're right if they come out and make a huge

2067
01:39:41,040 --> 01:39:43,440
Speaker 4: defensive state, if they come out and win a shootout,

2068
01:39:43,640 --> 01:39:45,200
Speaker 4: I don't think your opinion is going to change if

2069
01:39:45,200 --> 01:39:46,679
Speaker 4: they make a huge defensive statement.

2070
01:39:46,720 --> 01:39:48,400
Speaker 5: I think that it might sort of.

2071
01:39:48,439 --> 01:39:51,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, you hold Penn State to you know, twenty or

2072
01:39:51,520 --> 01:39:54,920
Speaker 2: less and you win thirty four to twenty or thirty

2073
01:39:54,960 --> 01:39:59,080
Speaker 2: four seventeen, I go, oh, okay, all right, you know,

2074
01:40:00,160 --> 01:40:02,120
Speaker 2: but Penn State scores in the twenties got for a

2075
01:40:02,120 --> 01:40:06,320
Speaker 2: bit thirty like then I then I that's what my

2076
01:40:06,400 --> 01:40:06,920
Speaker 2: issue was.

2077

2099
01:41:30,160 --> 01:41:35,559
Speaker 2: get off the air. All right, Fitzy, the early game

2100
01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:38,479
Speaker 2: is an interesting game. I'm curious to see kind of

2101
01:41:38,520 --> 01:41:42,479
Speaker 2: where your head is. In fact, we're gonna be talking

2102
01:41:42,520 --> 01:41:48,360
Speaker 2: to Anthony Beckt coming up in about ninety minutes. Anthony

2103
01:41:49,200 --> 01:41:53,800
Speaker 2: is of course played for the Jets and the West

2104
01:41:53,880 --> 01:41:57,280
Speaker 2: Virginia and in fact, the West Virginia job is open.

2105
01:41:58,760 --> 01:42:02,439
Speaker 2: I'm curious. I want to ask about that and the

2106
01:42:02,479 --> 01:42:07,640
Speaker 2: other thing. His son Rocko Becked of course, playing in

2107
01:42:07,680 --> 01:42:12,559
Speaker 2: the Big Twelve Championship, has had a great season. Iowa

2108
01:42:12,640 --> 01:42:16,120
Speaker 2: State and Arizona State. How do you feeling about that one?

2109
01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:17,240
Speaker 2: That's a neon kickoff?

2110
01:42:17,880 --> 01:42:20,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, so this is strength on weakness on both sides

2111
01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:22,680
Speaker 4: of the ball. I think there's gonna be a lot

2112
01:42:22,720 --> 01:42:25,439
Speaker 4: of points in this game because Arizona State right now

2113
01:42:26,160 --> 01:42:30,200
Speaker 4: is running the football absolutely incredible, scatabo, absolutely on fire.

2114
01:42:30,680 --> 01:42:32,920
Speaker 5: Iowa State's run defense is not good.

2115
01:42:33,560 --> 01:42:36,640
Speaker 4: Conversely, Iowa State's got two thousand yard receivers. You just

2116
01:42:37,439 --> 01:42:39,720
Speaker 4: mentioned the fact that beck is playing lights out, which

2117
01:42:39,760 --> 01:42:42,320
Speaker 4: he is, and Arizona State the back of their defense

2118
01:42:42,400 --> 01:42:44,920
Speaker 4: can get got right. So this is a little bit

2119
01:42:44,960 --> 01:42:47,160
Speaker 4: of These are two teams that I think are really

2120
01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:50,600
Speaker 4: evenly matched up, but they're both a bad matchup for

2121
01:42:50,720 --> 01:42:53,200
Speaker 4: each other. So I think it's kind of interesting to

2122
01:42:53,240 --> 01:42:55,840
Speaker 4: see how this plays out. He's just gonna have to

2123
01:42:55,840 --> 01:42:58,280
Speaker 4: be able to handle and you know this, I'm sure

2124
01:42:58,360 --> 01:43:00,920
Speaker 4: coach is gonna reference this, like, you want to win

2125
01:43:01,000 --> 01:43:02,479
Speaker 4: games like this, you've got to be able to at

2126
01:43:02,520 --> 01:43:05,080
Speaker 4: least slow down the run. I think Iowa States defense

2127
01:43:05,200 --> 01:43:07,479
Speaker 4: is just gonna have to show up. They're gonna have

2128
01:43:07,520 --> 01:43:10,759
Speaker 4: to figure out creative scheme ways to stop Scatamo from

2129
01:43:10,840 --> 01:43:12,160
Speaker 4: just scattering.

2130
01:43:11,720 --> 01:43:14,000
Speaker 5: All over the place. If they can do that, they

2131
01:43:14,040 --> 01:43:14,680
Speaker 5: can win this game.

2132
01:43:14,680 --> 01:43:17,280
Speaker 4: But that's a that's a tall If I'm Arizona State, man,

2133
01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:18,920
Speaker 4: I just I want to hand the ball off as

2134
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:20,920
Speaker 4: much as possible. I want to find cute little ways

2135
01:43:20,960 --> 01:43:22,599
Speaker 4: out of the backfield to get Scatambo of the ball.

2136
01:43:22,640 --> 01:43:24,800
Speaker 4: I want to control time of possession. I want to

2137
01:43:24,840 --> 01:43:27,080
Speaker 4: do all of those things. If I'm Iowa State, I'm

2138
01:43:27,120 --> 01:43:28,639
Speaker 4: sneaky explosive in this game.

2139
01:43:29,680 --> 01:43:32,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I dude, I it's funny kind of right. It

2140
01:43:32,439 --> 01:43:36,120
Speaker 2: the same way where and I do think there's gonna

2141
01:43:36,120 --> 01:43:39,439
Speaker 2: be big points in this game, and it'll be interesting

2142
01:43:39,479 --> 01:43:43,040
Speaker 2: to see who gets stops, because I think this game

2143
01:43:43,120 --> 01:43:45,680
Speaker 2: is all gonna be about that exactly, that can they

2144
01:43:45,680 --> 01:43:50,759
Speaker 2: get stops? And I tell you, man, I always states

2145
01:43:50,760 --> 01:43:54,040
Speaker 2: are greats through both great stories, right, it's it's really

2146
01:43:54,280 --> 01:43:56,439
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a really good game too.

2147
01:43:57,400 --> 01:43:57,639
Speaker 5: Yeah.

2148
01:43:57,680 --> 01:44:01,400
Speaker 4: And by the way, I know they're currently fifty and sixteen, respectively,

2149
01:44:02,080 --> 01:44:04,920
Speaker 4: but one of these teams is likely to end up well.

2150
01:44:04,920 --> 01:44:07,839
Speaker 4: One of these teams probably barring what happens with Clemson

2151
01:44:08,400 --> 01:44:11,160
Speaker 4: will end up the twelve seed in the playoffs. I

2152
01:44:11,360 --> 01:44:14,720
Speaker 4: believe both of these teams can create a nightmare for

2153
01:44:14,760 --> 01:44:17,840
Speaker 4: some of the other playoff teams. Like this is, Arizona

2154
01:44:17,840 --> 01:44:19,800
Speaker 4: State and Iowa State are better teams than they're getting

2155
01:44:19,800 --> 01:44:22,160
Speaker 4: credit for from the committee. I think that in the

2156
01:44:22,200 --> 01:44:25,080
Speaker 4: world of valuing the South Carolinas and all misses of

2157
01:44:25,120 --> 01:44:28,680
Speaker 4: the world, which is fine, nothing against the SEC all in,

2158
01:44:28,760 --> 01:44:31,240
Speaker 4: that's fine. Don't come at me SEC people. I just

2159
01:44:31,240 --> 01:44:34,360
Speaker 4: think that maybe they've slept on West Coast football a

2160
01:44:34,400 --> 01:44:37,920
Speaker 4: little bit. With Arizona State, who's particularly hot, and I

2161
01:44:37,960 --> 01:44:39,599
Speaker 4: don't know that I always Tate ever gets a level

2162
01:44:39,640 --> 01:44:41,960
Speaker 4: of attention that they likely deserve. So both of these

2163
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:44,720
Speaker 4: teams get into the College Football Playoff, both of these

2164
01:44:44,760 --> 01:44:47,679
Speaker 4: teams create a situation for whoever they play in the first.

2165
01:44:47,600 --> 01:44:52,080
Speaker 3: Round when you look at and then of course.

2166
01:44:53,280 --> 01:44:56,360
Speaker 2: When you go up to tonight, and we talked about Oregon,

2167
01:44:56,400 --> 01:45:00,600
Speaker 2: Penn State, but obviously SMU Clemson, it will have the

2168
01:45:00,640 --> 01:45:03,800
Speaker 2: other that's the other piece of the puzzle. And then

2169
01:45:03,840 --> 01:45:07,880
Speaker 2: once that plays out, it's all right. Where we're at now,

2170
01:45:07,920 --> 01:45:09,519
Speaker 2: you kind of it seems like you're.

2171
01:45:09,439 --> 01:45:13,200
Speaker 5: Leaning no no, No, I like SMU.

2172
01:45:13,320 --> 01:45:16,519
Speaker 4: I want look, I want Clemson to win only because

2173
01:45:16,560 --> 01:45:19,400
Speaker 4: I want to see pure chaos and because I want

2174
01:45:19,400 --> 01:45:24,240
Speaker 4: to challenge the entire process of college football conference championship games.

2175
01:45:24,280 --> 01:45:29,120
Speaker 4: I genuinely, loudly believe that the college football championship games should.

2176
01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:30,519
Speaker 5: Not count as a win or a loss.

2177
01:45:30,560 --> 01:45:33,880
Speaker 4: I believe that the loser should not be punished wherever

2178
01:45:33,920 --> 01:45:34,559
Speaker 4: they are ranked.

2179
01:45:34,600 --> 01:45:34,840
Speaker 5: Coming.

2180
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:38,839
Speaker 4: If the committee today believes that SMU as it stands

2181
01:45:38,920 --> 01:45:42,080
Speaker 4: right now, is better than Alabama, then I don't see

2182
01:45:42,080 --> 01:45:44,559
Speaker 4: how you can suddenly punish them for playing this game

2183
01:45:44,680 --> 01:45:47,400
Speaker 4: when Alabama is not playing in a conference championship game.

2184
01:45:47,720 --> 01:45:50,679
Speaker 4: Unless you want to give teams the opportunity to simply

2185
01:45:50,720 --> 01:45:53,720
Speaker 4: bypass the game and refuse the invite. I don't think

2186
01:45:53,760 --> 01:45:55,920
Speaker 4: you can punish a team for going to the conference

2187
01:45:56,000 --> 01:45:59,960
Speaker 4: championship game. So I hate a system that would see

2188
01:46:00,240 --> 01:46:03,320
Speaker 4: SMU upset and then suddenly it's like, well, you were

2189
01:46:03,680 --> 01:46:05,559
Speaker 4: I get if you weren't, if you're if you're out

2190
01:46:05,560 --> 01:46:08,479
Speaker 4: of the conversation completely fine, but you want to tell

2191
01:46:08,479 --> 01:46:10,519
Speaker 4: me that currently you think that this team is better

2192
01:46:10,560 --> 01:46:13,080
Speaker 4: than Alabama. But then because they lose to Clemson a

2193
01:46:13,120 --> 01:46:15,640
Speaker 4: game they're forced to play in that they're now not

2194
01:46:15,840 --> 01:46:17,080
Speaker 4: as good as Alabama.

2195
01:46:17,160 --> 01:46:19,000
Speaker 5: Like, I have a hard time with that.

2196
01:46:19,040 --> 01:46:20,639
Speaker 4: So I want to see it just because I want

2197
01:46:20,640 --> 01:46:22,840
Speaker 4: to challenge the entire notion and I want to see

2198
01:46:22,880 --> 01:46:24,880
Speaker 4: how the committee handles it. I want to know for

2199
01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:27,840
Speaker 4: sure how this all moves forward. I think SMU wins

2200
01:46:27,840 --> 01:46:31,000
Speaker 4: this football SMU being a little undervalued in this process,

2201
01:46:31,040 --> 01:46:31,559
Speaker 4: I think they were.

2202
01:46:31,720 --> 01:46:34,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think so instincts this year.

2203
01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:37,599
Speaker 2: By the way, you and I see it the same way.

2204
01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:42,720
Speaker 10: Man, You and I see the exact same way. You know,

2205
01:46:42,760 --> 01:46:43,519
Speaker 10: what's going to be funny.

2206
01:46:43,560 --> 01:46:47,639
Speaker 2: Tomorrow is going to be the show and we'll find out,

2207
01:46:47,720 --> 01:46:48,640
Speaker 2: you know what it looks like.

2208
01:46:50,040 --> 01:46:50,840
Speaker 3: Where are you at?

2209
01:46:51,200 --> 01:46:51,320
Speaker 8: Like?

2210
01:46:51,600 --> 01:46:53,320
Speaker 3: Where are you at with it well?

2211
01:46:53,439 --> 01:46:58,000
Speaker 5: With with the the entire process? Is this?

2212
01:46:58,000 --> 01:47:01,599
Speaker 4: This should have been something we could have seen coming

2213
01:47:02,160 --> 01:47:05,479
Speaker 4: to me. Having a committee that ranks the top twelve,

2214
01:47:05,479 --> 01:47:08,400
Speaker 4: but the top twelve don't actually get in, and then

2215
01:47:08,520 --> 01:47:11,400
Speaker 4: having seating on top of all of this, and having

2216
01:47:11,400 --> 01:47:14,920
Speaker 4: a system that, my god, every single week Rhees Davis

2217
01:47:14,920 --> 01:47:16,479
Speaker 4: has to explain it.

2218
01:47:16,560 --> 01:47:17,439
Speaker 5: And you know, we.

2219
01:47:17,520 --> 01:47:20,200
Speaker 4: Still have people that are wildly confused and casual fans

2220
01:47:20,200 --> 01:47:23,120
Speaker 4: that are confused, and you know, I think the system

2221
01:47:23,200 --> 01:47:25,960
Speaker 4: as it was set up feels like the first time

2222
01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:28,120
Speaker 4: you play a new board game with your friends, and

2223
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:29,439
Speaker 4: you know, you sit down and.

2224
01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:31,320
Speaker 5: You're like, I got this really easy board game. I'm

2225
01:47:31,320 --> 01:47:32,160
Speaker 5: gonna explain it to you.

2226
01:47:32,560 --> 01:47:35,439
Speaker 4: My eyes gloss over in like two minutes, and I'm like, man,

2227
01:47:35,520 --> 01:47:38,200
Speaker 4: I got nothing. I no longer know what you're talking about.

2228
01:47:38,520 --> 01:47:40,760
Speaker 4: And that's how I feel every single week when I

2229
01:47:40,800 --> 01:47:43,799
Speaker 4: watch this, Like we do our Yahoo the College Football

2230
01:47:43,800 --> 01:47:47,599
Speaker 4: Power Hour, we tape our Tuesday show right after the playoff,

2231
01:47:48,080 --> 01:47:51,760
Speaker 4: and like we're sitting here taking notes throughout the course

2232
01:47:51,760 --> 01:47:53,559
Speaker 4: of it, saying, Okay, so this matchup would be this,

2233
01:47:53,720 --> 01:47:56,759
Speaker 4: and this would be this. Having a system that confusing

2234
01:47:57,640 --> 01:47:59,880
Speaker 4: is something they should have seen coming and should.

2235
01:47:59,600 --> 01:48:01,360
Speaker 5: Have said, hey, this isn't a good idea.

2236
01:48:01,439 --> 01:48:04,320
Speaker 4: So I hate that portion of it. I, like I said,

2237
01:48:04,560 --> 01:48:06,880
Speaker 4: I hate that we're already sitting here looking at some

2238
01:48:06,920 --> 01:48:10,280
Speaker 4: of these teams, Like I anticipated the possibility of bid thieves,

2239
01:48:10,320 --> 01:48:12,400
Speaker 4: but there's a difference between sixty four teams in the

2240
01:48:12,479 --> 01:48:15,040
Speaker 4: NCAA tournament and a bid thief, you know, for a

2241
01:48:15,120 --> 01:48:17,760
Speaker 4: small school versus you know, there's even a difference to

2242
01:48:17,760 --> 01:48:21,360
Speaker 4: me in some ways of UNLV stealing BYU or BYU.

2243
01:48:21,400 --> 01:48:25,280
Speaker 4: Boise states bid feels different to me than SMU suddenly

2244
01:48:25,320 --> 01:48:28,280
Speaker 4: getting knocked out of this thing. Like, I have a

2245
01:48:28,320 --> 01:48:30,160
Speaker 4: really hard time with the way this is laid out,

2246
01:48:30,200 --> 01:48:32,040
Speaker 4: and I think they should have done a better job

2247
01:48:32,040 --> 01:48:35,519
Speaker 4: of anticipating the improper chaos that they were creating.

2248
01:48:36,120 --> 01:48:37,679
Speaker 3: What do you think the offsheet's going to be?

2249
01:48:37,680 --> 01:48:42,120
Speaker 2: Because everybody agrees, like it's still you're sitting here going

2250
01:48:42,200 --> 01:48:42,799
Speaker 2: all right.

2251
01:48:42,760 --> 01:48:44,519
Speaker 3: It's got to be tweaked. They know it has to

2252
01:48:44,560 --> 01:48:45,360
Speaker 3: be tweaked.

2253
01:48:45,600 --> 01:48:45,800
Speaker 5: Yeah.

2254
01:48:45,800 --> 01:48:47,280
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna use all of this to get

2255
01:48:47,280 --> 01:48:50,320
Speaker 4: to sixteen. Yeah, they're gonna use all this. But the

2256
01:48:50,360 --> 01:48:52,920
Speaker 4: one thing I will say, and it should.

2257
01:48:52,680 --> 01:48:55,120
Speaker 3: Be but I'll be honest with you, it should be sixteen.

2258
01:48:55,439 --> 01:48:58,200
Speaker 5: It's just a perfect number to really agree, but I

2259
01:48:58,240 --> 01:48:58,960
Speaker 5: will be honest.

2260
01:48:59,560 --> 01:49:02,360
Speaker 4: I he said a few months ago that my number

2261
01:49:02,400 --> 01:49:05,920
Speaker 4: one concern little inside baseball here. But when I was

2262
01:49:05,920 --> 01:49:09,599
Speaker 4: working at ESPN, we would go in on our show

2263
01:49:09,600 --> 01:49:12,920
Speaker 4: because a bunch of us on radio worked in college football.

2264
01:49:13,120 --> 01:49:14,599
Speaker 4: We would go in on our show and have these

2265
01:49:14,600 --> 01:49:17,599
Speaker 4: big college football takes, and the bosses are going to say, yeah,

2266
01:49:17,960 --> 01:49:20,759
Speaker 4: nobody cares. And in fact, if you are regular listener

2267
01:49:20,760 --> 01:49:23,200
Speaker 4: to Pat McAfee. He's explained this on his show as well,

2268
01:49:23,240 --> 01:49:25,720
Speaker 4: like that, as much as he loves college football, the

2269
01:49:25,800 --> 01:49:28,040
Speaker 4: numbers show that when you start talking about college football

2270
01:49:28,080 --> 01:49:30,280
Speaker 4: sometimes people just gloss over. They don't care about. At

2271
01:49:30,280 --> 01:49:32,920
Speaker 4: the same level, this is all real studied metrics. My

2272
01:49:32,960 --> 01:49:36,439
Speaker 4: biggest concern with the expansion of the playoffs was that

2273
01:49:37,280 --> 01:49:39,400
Speaker 4: the committee was giving us a reason to talk every

2274
01:49:39,400 --> 01:49:40,240
Speaker 4: Tuesday and Wednesday.

2275
01:49:40,240 --> 01:49:42,519
Speaker 5: Who were the top four teams? Blah blah blah blah blah.

2276
01:49:42,560 --> 01:49:44,840
Speaker 4: And I was concerned by going to twelve that that

2277
01:49:44,960 --> 01:49:46,120
Speaker 4: drama would end.

2278
01:49:46,280 --> 01:49:49,320
Speaker 5: Instead, I was wrong. Instead, now what do we see

2279
01:49:49,360 --> 01:49:49,960
Speaker 5: even more?

2280
01:49:50,080 --> 01:49:52,840
Speaker 4: My God, Like, as I was flipping through watching a

2281
01:49:52,840 --> 01:49:54,760
Speaker 4: Little Get Up the other day, like all get Up

2282
01:49:54,840 --> 01:49:57,759
Speaker 4: was talking about was you know, frankly, this college football

2283
01:49:57,760 --> 01:50:00,280
Speaker 4: playoff ranking over and over and over again, like days

2284
01:50:00,320 --> 01:50:03,480
Speaker 4: and Wednesdays have been even more polarizing because does Alabama

2285
01:50:03,560 --> 01:50:06,360
Speaker 4: still get in? So I was completely wrong about it.

2286
01:50:06,400 --> 01:50:08,280
Speaker 4: Every time we expand though that's going to be my

2287
01:50:08,320 --> 01:50:10,600
Speaker 4: big concern it is like, what does this mean for

2288
01:50:10,640 --> 01:50:13,519
Speaker 4: the overall conversation for casuals, because I do think casual

2289
01:50:13,560 --> 01:50:16,920
Speaker 4: conversation helps growth sport. So that's that's my one concern

2290
01:50:16,920 --> 01:50:19,759
Speaker 4: about moving to sixteen. I like the drama that it's created.

2291
01:50:20,120 --> 01:50:21,679
Speaker 4: I just think they could have done a better job

2292
01:50:21,720 --> 01:50:23,120
Speaker 4: with the twelve process.

2293
01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:27,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, I'm with you, I quite frankly. I

2294
01:50:27,640 --> 01:50:32,559
Speaker 2: still I'm still surprised they just didn't go with sixteen

2295
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:33,200
Speaker 2: off the bat.

2296
01:50:33,880 --> 01:50:35,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I am.

2297
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:39,120
Speaker 2: It's just an easy it's just an easier number. It

2298
01:50:39,240 --> 01:50:41,960
Speaker 2: makes sense, it's an easier number. And then you don't

2299
01:50:42,040 --> 01:50:45,600
Speaker 2: you don't have to change it again. The biggest problem

2300
01:50:46,600 --> 01:50:50,479
Speaker 2: and why they just haven't gotten it right, is.

2301
01:50:50,439 --> 01:50:52,360
Speaker 3: They have to change it. They had to change it

2302
01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:52,840
Speaker 3: all the time.

2303
01:50:53,080 --> 01:50:55,479
Speaker 2: They finally got it right with a playoff, which is

2304
01:50:55,600 --> 01:50:57,880
Speaker 2: it's amazingly it took this long to figure it out,

2305
01:50:58,320 --> 01:51:01,240
Speaker 2: but they finally got that piece of it right. And

2306
01:51:01,600 --> 01:51:03,639
Speaker 2: then and make sure change it because you don't even

2307
01:51:03,600 --> 01:51:06,920
Speaker 2: to change it again. It's the stupidest thing in the world.

2308
01:51:06,920 --> 01:51:10,120
Speaker 2: It's like the NCAA tournament is perfect. I don't know

2309
01:51:10,160 --> 01:51:14,240
Speaker 2: why they're talking about changing and adding to like there's

2310
01:51:14,280 --> 01:51:18,320
Speaker 2: no need to make it even more bigger. I don't

2311
01:51:18,320 --> 01:51:22,479
Speaker 2: get that. But you know they've had a nice, perfect number.

2312
01:51:23,120 --> 01:51:25,360
Speaker 2: You know they're all trying. You're all greedy bastard so

2313
01:51:26,040 --> 01:51:29,400
Speaker 2: you know they playing games and this and that, but

2314
01:51:29,920 --> 01:51:30,840
Speaker 2: sixty four it.

2315
01:51:30,800 --> 01:51:32,920
Speaker 5: Works, I will say too.

2316
01:51:33,040 --> 01:51:35,720
Speaker 4: Like one thing that my logic was challenged on that

2317
01:51:35,800 --> 01:51:38,400
Speaker 4: I did not realize when I got into this business.

2318
01:51:38,439 --> 01:51:43,439
Speaker 4: I always thought, Okay, NCAA tournament, we love underdogs, we

2319
01:51:43,479 --> 01:51:46,360
Speaker 4: want to see wild, incredible stories. That's what everybody wants.

2320
01:51:46,640 --> 01:51:49,360
Speaker 4: Give me total chaos. And then I worked with enough

2321
01:51:49,400 --> 01:51:52,160
Speaker 4: people that cared enough about the numbers. There's like, actually,

2322
01:51:52,760 --> 01:51:55,320
Speaker 4: if you look at the numbers, people don't really want

2323
01:51:55,400 --> 01:51:58,600
Speaker 4: like people in the first round want wild upsets, But

2324
01:51:58,880 --> 01:52:02,000
Speaker 4: when you look at championship games, everybody wants at the

2325
01:52:02,120 --> 01:52:04,080
Speaker 4: end of the day, people want North Carolina Duke for the.

2326
01:52:04,120 --> 01:52:07,000
Speaker 5: National championship in college basketball. And I didn't realize that.

2327
01:52:07,040 --> 01:52:08,400
Speaker 4: And I looked at some of the numbers and went

2328
01:52:08,400 --> 01:52:10,120
Speaker 4: through it with people smarter than me, and I was like, Ah,

2329
01:52:10,160 --> 01:52:12,200
Speaker 4: you're right, people want upsets in the first round, but

2330
01:52:12,240 --> 01:52:15,760
Speaker 4: you want some teams to survive. I'm genuinely curious to

2331
01:52:15,800 --> 01:52:18,960
Speaker 4: see what happens here, Like would the world actually want

2332
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:23,040
Speaker 4: an Arizona State Boise State college football national championship? I

2333
01:52:23,120 --> 01:52:25,160
Speaker 4: don't know the answer to that, I think people would

2334
01:52:25,200 --> 01:52:27,840
Speaker 4: really want Arizona State or Boise State to win a

2335
01:52:27,840 --> 01:52:30,559
Speaker 4: first round game, but to still wake up with, you know,

2336
01:52:31,000 --> 01:52:32,800
Speaker 4: Texas versus Ohio State.

2337
01:52:32,880 --> 01:52:33,080
Speaker 5: You know.

2338
01:52:33,640 --> 01:52:36,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, people want big brands in championships. So I do

2339
01:52:36,520 --> 01:52:38,800
Speaker 4: think that's interesting. The bigger you get, the more chance

2340
01:52:38,800 --> 01:52:41,360
Speaker 4: you get of not getting that that you want in

2341
01:52:41,400 --> 01:52:42,040
Speaker 4: this process.

2342
01:52:42,680 --> 01:52:44,519
Speaker 3: It is interesting. I don't get to take quick to you.

2343
01:52:44,640 --> 01:52:49,439
Speaker 2: We'll do that, but it's interesting that you say people

2344
01:52:49,600 --> 01:52:53,920
Speaker 2: don't really want to hear about the inner workings of

2345
01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:57,479
Speaker 2: college football or college basketball. That we love the tournament, right,

2346
01:52:57,520 --> 01:52:59,320
Speaker 2: but they don't really want to talk about it during

2347
01:52:59,320 --> 01:52:59,639
Speaker 2: the week.

2348
01:53:00,200 --> 01:53:02,679
Speaker 3: Is think about it? Ponder.

2349
01:53:02,880 --> 01:53:05,520
Speaker 5: I'll give you thoughts on that I want to hear because.

2350
01:53:05,520 --> 01:53:07,479
Speaker 2: You obviously done a lot of research into it and

2351
01:53:07,520 --> 01:53:10,160
Speaker 2: it really interests me. We're the fellas hanging out right

2352
01:53:10,160 --> 01:53:12,080
Speaker 2: here Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2: Live Fellas from the tire Rack dot com studios. We uh,

2357
01:53:32,960 --> 01:53:37,160
Speaker 2: I do a TV film segment, right, so then we're

2358
01:53:37,360 --> 01:53:41,519
Speaker 2: we're into the holiday stuff. So we were messing around

2359
01:53:41,520 --> 01:53:49,840
Speaker 2: with the best claymation animation Christmas stuff, right, Okay, so

2360
01:53:49,880 --> 01:53:54,000
Speaker 2: the idea of Charlie Brown came up, and everybody agreed

2361
01:53:55,680 --> 01:53:59,519
Speaker 2: that among all the classics, that Charlie Brown is the

2362
01:53:59,560 --> 01:54:02,200
Speaker 2: weekly think do you agree?

2363
01:54:03,520 --> 01:54:07,880
Speaker 4: So the hardest part about these things is removing your

2364
01:54:07,920 --> 01:54:12,040
Speaker 4: own sentimental attachment, right, So I think that's the hard

2365
01:54:12,080 --> 01:54:16,040
Speaker 4: part for people. You know, in most of our age groups,

2366
01:54:16,080 --> 01:54:18,400
Speaker 4: like there was a couple of things you have to

2367
01:54:18,439 --> 01:54:23,320
Speaker 4: factor in. One, pre streaming, these specials being on were

2368
01:54:23,360 --> 01:54:25,559
Speaker 4: really significant. You know, you would sit down with your

2369
01:54:25,600 --> 01:54:27,360
Speaker 4: family and it was like, hey, it's a big deal

2370
01:54:27,360 --> 01:54:30,080
Speaker 4: that Charlie Brown Christmas special is on. We're going to

2371
01:54:30,120 --> 01:54:33,800
Speaker 4: watch this as a family. So I think it holds

2372
01:54:33,800 --> 01:54:35,800
Speaker 4: a special place in a lot of people's hearts. That

2373
01:54:35,880 --> 01:54:39,520
Speaker 4: being said, I think it moves slow, like it just

2374
01:54:39,680 --> 01:54:40,240
Speaker 4: it moves.

2375
01:54:40,360 --> 01:54:41,640
Speaker 5: It moves a little slow.

2376
01:54:42,120 --> 01:54:45,360
Speaker 4: And if we're comparing it to the you know, Rudolph's

2377
01:54:45,520 --> 01:54:48,360
Speaker 4: or you know, like there's no heat Miser snow Miser

2378
01:54:48,400 --> 01:54:51,280
Speaker 4: moment in this, Like there's no Island in the Misfit

2379
01:54:51,440 --> 01:54:54,000
Speaker 4: Toys in this, Like it's kind of a it's a

2380
01:54:54,600 --> 01:54:58,640
Speaker 4: slow moving, kind of one dimensional story. So I don't

2381
01:54:58,840 --> 01:55:01,840
Speaker 4: disagree with it, but I also I feel like it

2382
01:55:02,160 --> 01:55:03,480
Speaker 4: has a nostalgic place in.

2383
01:55:03,440 --> 01:55:04,640
Speaker 5: My heart that I have to watch it.

2384
01:55:04,680 --> 01:55:07,720
Speaker 4: But when I watch it, like I find myself still

2385
01:55:07,800 --> 01:55:09,600
Speaker 4: laughing to this day in the animated world, I still

2386
01:55:09,680 --> 01:55:13,080
Speaker 4: laugh at like the Garfield Thanksgiving Special for example. I

2387
01:55:13,160 --> 01:55:17,080
Speaker 4: don't I don't find myself like sitting there attached to

2388
01:55:17,080 --> 01:55:18,200
Speaker 4: every second of Charlie Brown.

2389
01:55:18,240 --> 01:55:19,480
Speaker 5: So I off the top.

2390
01:55:19,360 --> 01:55:21,680
Speaker 4: Of my head, I would agree that maybe maybe it

2391
01:55:21,720 --> 01:55:24,200
Speaker 4: doesn't hold up as much as it like doesn't hold

2392
01:55:24,280 --> 01:55:26,280
Speaker 4: us up as much as Rootolph for Santa Claus is

2393
01:55:26,320 --> 01:55:26,680
Speaker 4: coming to.

2394
01:55:26,640 --> 01:55:29,320
Speaker 3: Town, or you're out of Santa Claus.

2395
01:55:29,600 --> 01:55:31,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're without a Santa Claus or Frosty. Those are

2396
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:33,200
Speaker 5: all better. Those are all better.

2397
01:55:33,280 --> 01:55:39,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I will say now it did bring a

2398
01:55:39,840 --> 01:55:44,320
Speaker 2: staying like part of the lexicon of of our holiday think,

2399
01:55:44,320 --> 01:55:48,400
Speaker 2: which is the Charlie Brown Tree. The Charlie Brown tree,

2400
01:55:48,760 --> 01:55:52,840
Speaker 2: as has like made it right like it used to.

2401
01:55:52,880 --> 01:55:54,920
Speaker 2: This day, people go looking for a tree to go

2402
01:55:55,440 --> 01:55:58,360
Speaker 2: and they see an emaciated tree, they go out to

2403
01:55:58,440 --> 01:55:59,480
Speaker 2: Charlie Brown Tree.

2404
01:56:00,400 --> 01:56:02,640
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, well, and people still go out there and

2405
01:56:02,960 --> 01:56:06,880
Speaker 4: buy small versions of that for core, Yeah, I think

2406
01:56:06,960 --> 01:56:07,680
Speaker 4: the tree and.

2407
01:56:08,040 --> 01:56:12,960
Speaker 3: Then understood my family the Charlie Brown tree.

2408
01:56:13,080 --> 01:56:16,040
Speaker 5: Charlie I also I love that.

2409
01:56:16,080 --> 01:56:19,839
Speaker 4: By the way, if you have to explain why something

2410
01:56:19,920 --> 01:56:22,960
Speaker 4: is significant, then it probably has lost some of its significance.

2411
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:24,000
Speaker 5: I will agree with that.

2412
01:56:24,120 --> 01:56:26,720
Speaker 4: As I say this, I do think we have to

2413
01:56:26,760 --> 01:56:28,800
Speaker 4: remember the fact that it was voiced by kids, which

2414
01:56:28,880 --> 01:56:33,080
Speaker 4: was such an uncommon thing, gave me a real authenticity

2415
01:56:33,120 --> 01:56:34,840
Speaker 4: to the way it was broadcast. And then, as many

2416
01:56:34,880 --> 01:56:37,960
Speaker 4: people now know, the fact that, like I'm not a

2417
01:56:38,000 --> 01:56:41,360
Speaker 4: particularly religious person myself, but the fact that the end

2418
01:56:41,960 --> 01:56:45,400
Speaker 4: of that is so pointed religious, and the fact that

2419
01:56:45,480 --> 01:56:47,880
Speaker 4: at the time broadcast companies weren't sure if that was

2420
01:56:47,920 --> 01:56:49,880
Speaker 4: something that should even be shown, all the way back

2421
01:56:49,920 --> 01:56:52,880
Speaker 4: in this whatever, the seventies whenever, that was the fact

2422
01:56:52,920 --> 01:56:54,560
Speaker 4: that they had to fight to get that on air,

2423
01:56:54,680 --> 01:56:57,840
Speaker 4: and then that became such a special and important, poignant

2424
01:56:57,880 --> 01:57:02,400
Speaker 4: moment in Cartoony Merican history television wise, Like, I think

2425
01:57:02,400 --> 01:57:06,080
Speaker 4: that there's there's historical context to it that matters. But again,

2426
01:57:06,400 --> 01:57:08,840
Speaker 4: if I'm sitting here having to explain to somebody why

2427
01:57:08,880 --> 01:57:11,880
Speaker 4: that was contextually an important thing, that means the context

2428
01:57:11,960 --> 01:57:14,080
Speaker 4: has been lost which means it doesn't have the same power.

2429
01:57:15,160 --> 01:57:18,400
Speaker 2: Yeah that's great thought. But yeah, great point, great point.

2430
01:57:19,240 --> 01:57:21,120
Speaker 2: Uh you brought it up. But I have to say

2431
01:57:21,800 --> 01:57:26,280
Speaker 2: my least favorite of all them and my least favorite character,

2432
01:57:27,760 --> 01:57:29,160
Speaker 2: it's Frosty the Foghezy.

2433
01:57:30,720 --> 01:57:33,240
Speaker 5: You don't like Frosty the fugazy, Yeah.

2434
01:57:32,760 --> 01:57:37,240
Speaker 2: Frost Still he's that's the worst of the all the shows.

2435
01:57:38,040 --> 01:57:39,760
Speaker 3: Frosty is the worst.

2436
01:57:40,200 --> 01:57:42,560
Speaker 5: Okay, So give me what you don't like about Frosty.

2437
01:57:43,040 --> 01:57:47,840
Speaker 2: It's got no substance. I mean, I wouldn't like carry's

2438
01:57:47,840 --> 01:57:48,560
Speaker 2: gonna be a puddle.

2439
01:57:51,960 --> 01:57:54,080
Speaker 4: That's only funny. All right, This is a weird way

2440
01:57:54,120 --> 01:57:57,120
Speaker 4: to tie this all in. But like when I went

2441
01:57:57,160 --> 01:57:58,880
Speaker 4: to see the first Hostile movie, I love that. I'm

2442
01:57:58,880 --> 01:58:01,640
Speaker 4: about to tie Frosty hostile. But I went to see

2443
01:58:01,640 --> 01:58:04,320
Speaker 4: the First Hostile movie as a horror movie fanatic. I

2444
01:58:04,360 --> 01:58:06,000
Speaker 4: walked out and everybody's like, what do you think? And

2445
01:58:06,040 --> 01:58:08,280
Speaker 4: I said, man, like, you got to make me care

2446
01:58:08,360 --> 01:58:10,360
Speaker 4: about somebody at least a little bit before you just

2447
01:58:10,360 --> 01:58:11,240
Speaker 4: start torturing them.

2448
01:58:11,280 --> 01:58:13,680
Speaker 5: Otherwise I don't really care that they're being tortured. I

2449
01:58:13,720 --> 01:58:14,320
Speaker 5: love that that.

2450
01:58:14,320 --> 01:58:16,440
Speaker 4: That's now all I can think of with with Frosty

2451
01:58:16,560 --> 01:58:19,040
Speaker 4: is like, if you're just going to turn around and

2452
01:58:19,080 --> 01:58:21,320
Speaker 4: tell me that like it is. You know what I

2453
01:58:21,320 --> 01:58:24,040
Speaker 4: didn't like about Frosty. There's one thing that really stands

2454
01:58:24,080 --> 01:58:26,960
Speaker 4: out to me. I didn't like the voice of Frosty.

2455
01:58:27,080 --> 01:58:29,000
Speaker 4: I just didn't know it as as.

2456
01:58:28,880 --> 01:58:35,280
Speaker 2: Fraust now now the voice, You're right, he was unlikable. Yeah,

2457
01:58:36,160 --> 01:58:39,200
Speaker 2: not really likable, dude, Frosty. To be honest with you.

2458
01:58:40,040 --> 01:58:43,080
Speaker 4: I didn't like the voice of the Magician either, Like,

2459
01:58:43,440 --> 01:58:45,520
Speaker 4: voices are big for me. Like, look, I'm the one

2460
01:58:45,560 --> 01:58:47,560
Speaker 4: person in the world that never like Space Jam. And

2461
01:58:47,600 --> 01:58:50,160
Speaker 4: the reason I didn't like Space Jam the movie was

2462
01:58:50,200 --> 01:58:52,720
Speaker 4: because I grew up a huge Warner Brothers fan as

2463
01:58:52,760 --> 01:58:55,320
Speaker 4: a kid, and the fact that they just couldn't find

2464
01:58:55,320 --> 01:58:58,880
Speaker 4: impersonators like this was after the famous voice over artists

2465
01:58:58,880 --> 01:59:01,440
Speaker 4: had died, and so you had to different voice for bugs,

2466
01:59:01,440 --> 01:59:04,240
Speaker 4: and like it was all close, but not close enough

2467
01:59:04,280 --> 01:59:08,520
Speaker 4: to work for me. So I'm a big voice guy, Like, so, yeah,

2468
01:59:08,880 --> 01:59:10,160
Speaker 4: out on the voice of Frosty.

2469
01:59:10,200 --> 01:59:11,400
Speaker 5: Out on the voice of the Magician.

2470
01:59:12,240 --> 01:59:16,360
Speaker 4: Yeah maybe you know, Frosty's squarely in the okay category.

2526
02:02:27,520 --> 02:02:29,760
Speaker 8: what he's accomplished so far. I think it, you know,

2527
02:02:29,760 --> 02:02:32,360
Speaker 8: it goes all the way back to you know, just

2528
02:02:32,480 --> 02:02:35,800
Speaker 8: his his persistence, his work ethic. You know, he's got

2529
02:02:35,800 --> 02:02:39,000
Speaker 8: a really good plan on how to prepare. You know,

2530
02:02:39,080 --> 02:02:41,320
Speaker 8: he knows how to watch film. He's he's a few

2531
02:02:41,360 --> 02:02:43,640
Speaker 8: steps ahead of a lot of kids, just because you know,

2532
02:02:44,400 --> 02:02:46,440
Speaker 8: he's been able to kind of put a plan in

2533
02:02:46,520 --> 02:02:49,280
Speaker 8: place to really help him succeed. And then ultimately, guys,

2534
02:02:49,960 --> 02:02:51,680
Speaker 8: you know, you got to go do it. Like when

2535
02:02:51,680 --> 02:02:53,640
Speaker 8: you get on the platform, you got to go play.

2536
02:02:53,920 --> 02:02:56,000
Speaker 8: And I think that's the biggest thing. I can't help

2537
02:02:56,080 --> 02:02:58,560
Speaker 8: him in that aspect, because you know, he's got to

2538
02:02:58,600 --> 02:03:01,480
Speaker 8: go out there and when the in his hand, you know,

2539
02:03:01,560 --> 02:03:04,600
Speaker 8: distributed properly, make the plays and lead his team. And

2540
02:03:05,200 --> 02:03:07,600
Speaker 8: you know, it's it's been fun to watch as a parent,

2541
02:03:07,680 --> 02:03:10,920
Speaker 8: as a coach, as a player, former player, you know

2542
02:03:10,960 --> 02:03:13,160
Speaker 8: all those things. Excuse me. We had a late night

2543
02:03:13,240 --> 02:03:15,920
Speaker 8: last night, you know with the fan base here, so

2544
02:03:16,040 --> 02:03:19,160
Speaker 8: I'm trying to get to throw drum a little bit more. Uh,

2545
02:03:20,360 --> 02:03:23,680
Speaker 8: thanks to the conversation. But you know, listen, it's been

2546
02:03:23,720 --> 02:03:26,080
Speaker 8: it's been great and it's a really good team, right.

2547
02:03:26,240 --> 02:03:29,440
Speaker 8: I mean that you know Matt Campbell, the culture, this

2548
02:03:29,560 --> 02:03:31,760
Speaker 8: is everything that. This is a guy I would play

2549
02:03:31,800 --> 02:03:35,280
Speaker 8: for and it really fits Rocco and what he's about,

2550
02:03:35,400 --> 02:03:37,160
Speaker 8: and he's taken and ran with it.

2551
02:03:37,800 --> 02:03:39,720
Speaker 4: Walk me through though a little bit of what this

2552
02:03:39,800 --> 02:03:42,120
Speaker 4: moment's like for you, not just as a dad, but

2553
02:03:42,200 --> 02:03:44,760
Speaker 4: also as a coach, because you're watching your kid, but

2554
02:03:44,760 --> 02:03:46,480
Speaker 4: you're not as coach. You can't get in his ear.

2555
02:03:46,520 --> 02:03:48,280
Speaker 4: You got to watch the game. You can't say anything

2556
02:03:48,280 --> 02:03:50,000
Speaker 4: to him while the game's going on. How does that

2557
02:03:50,080 --> 02:03:52,720
Speaker 4: affect you emotionally when you're watching it?

2558
02:03:52,920 --> 02:03:56,480
Speaker 8: Zero control? Right as a as a player, as a coach,

2559
02:03:56,600 --> 02:03:59,760
Speaker 8: I can touch things, I can speak like you said too.

2560
02:04:00,000 --> 02:04:03,200
Speaker 8: You know when I'm in the stands man, there's nothing.

2561
02:04:03,240 --> 02:04:05,440
Speaker 8: It's a lot of anxiety. I'll be honest with you.

2562
02:04:05,480 --> 02:04:07,240
Speaker 8: I mean, you know, the kid touches the ball every

2563
02:04:07,280 --> 02:04:10,160
Speaker 8: place so you know, between me and my wife, it's

2564
02:04:10,160 --> 02:04:11,960
Speaker 8: it's tense. You know, I try not to show it,

2565
02:04:12,000 --> 02:04:14,760
Speaker 8: and for some reason they always find me on the camera.

2566
02:04:14,840 --> 02:04:18,240
Speaker 8: I've been moving around every single week in different seats,

2567
02:04:18,520 --> 02:04:20,880
Speaker 8: but my big ass is always just kind of sticking out,

2568
02:04:20,880 --> 02:04:23,680
Speaker 8: I guess every single week. So you know, I, like

2569
02:04:23,760 --> 02:04:27,840
Speaker 8: I said, it's it's been phenomenal, you know when I

2570
02:04:27,880 --> 02:04:30,560
Speaker 8: think for me, you know, I know, I you know,

2571
02:04:30,600 --> 02:04:34,520
Speaker 8: obviously a ton of relationships, ton of players and teammates

2572
02:04:34,520 --> 02:04:36,600
Speaker 8: that I play with in the NFL who have kids,

2573
02:04:36,600 --> 02:04:38,840
Speaker 8: and we had kids, and you want them to do

2574
02:04:38,920 --> 02:04:41,600
Speaker 8: what you did, but you know, it's you never get

2575
02:04:41,640 --> 02:04:43,600
Speaker 8: to that level. You know, what we did was you know,

2576
02:04:44,160 --> 02:04:48,200
Speaker 8: point zero percent, zero one percent of what what you

2577
02:04:48,240 --> 02:04:51,640
Speaker 8: know college players dream to do. And you know, to

2578
02:04:51,680 --> 02:04:54,040
Speaker 8: watch your son do something at a level that's pretty high.

2579
02:04:54,080 --> 02:04:56,960
Speaker 8: At the quarterback position, which you know, quite frankly, guys,

2580
02:04:57,040 --> 02:04:59,640
Speaker 8: is the hardest position to play. To do a weekend

2581
02:04:59,680 --> 02:05:02,120
Speaker 8: and week out, to lead your team, to to help

2582
02:05:02,200 --> 02:05:04,920

02:05:04,960 --> 02:05:08,080
Speaker 8: twelve championship opportunity and hey get a seat at the table.

2584
02:05:08,600 --> 02:05:11,840
Speaker 8: Uh in the college football playoffs. It's really it's really

2585
02:05:12,120 --> 02:05:13,200
Speaker 8: it's really humbling for me.

2586
02:05:13,960 --> 02:05:16,560
Speaker 2: Well get you know, go through the journey with us

2587
02:05:17,640 --> 02:05:22,400
Speaker 2: with Roco to be to where he's at now at

2588
02:05:22,440 --> 02:05:26,480
Speaker 2: that position. Like I remember, like rockall when he was young,

2589
02:05:26,640 --> 02:05:30,040
Speaker 2: right like, so you yeah, I've been friends in after

2590
02:05:30,120 --> 02:05:33,960
Speaker 2: a long time and you remember like all those going

2591
02:05:33,960 --> 02:05:37,040
Speaker 2: to camps and to high school.

2592
02:05:37,440 --> 02:05:39,680
Speaker 3: You know, how how did he get here?

2593
02:05:39,800 --> 02:05:42,000
Speaker 8: Yeah? Well, you know he's been around football his entire life,

2594
02:05:42,040 --> 02:05:44,800
Speaker 8: right me, you know, being in the NFL, and you know,

2595
02:05:44,840 --> 02:05:47,400
Speaker 8: I started a youth camp back in two thousand and

2596
02:05:47,400 --> 02:05:50,640
Speaker 8: six in Philly and Tampa and West Virginia, and you

2597
02:05:50,640 --> 02:05:52,560
Speaker 8: know he was like the youngest camper in that camp,

2598
02:05:52,600 --> 02:05:55,800
Speaker 8: you know, the longest tenure camp camper ever to come

2599
02:05:55,800 --> 02:05:57,760
Speaker 8: to those things, and it's just part of them. And

2600
02:05:57,800 --> 02:06:00,880
Speaker 8: then you know it started with flag football and and

2601
02:06:00,960 --> 02:06:03,280
Speaker 8: you know it started with playing pad at football and

2602
02:06:03,480 --> 02:06:06,320
Speaker 8: in grade school where you know they didn't use the

2603
02:06:06,400 --> 02:06:08,560
Speaker 8: quarterback much and you know he didn't play a lot,

2604
02:06:08,600 --> 02:06:11,600
Speaker 8: I mean didn't get a chance. And flag football quite honestly, guys,

2605
02:06:11,600 --> 02:06:14,240
Speaker 8: for parents that are out there, I mean, you know

2606
02:06:14,320 --> 02:06:16,160
Speaker 8: that was something that really can you know, from a

2607
02:06:16,200 --> 02:06:19,760
Speaker 8: receiver or quarterback standpoint, can really can really develop and

2608
02:06:19,800 --> 02:06:21,480
Speaker 8: help you in a certain way. Now I was a coach,

2609
02:06:21,520 --> 02:06:24,440
Speaker 8: it helped that we you know, we're running NFL concepts

2610
02:06:24,440 --> 02:06:26,160
Speaker 8: in seventh and eighth grade, which a lot of kids

2611
02:06:26,160 --> 02:06:29,400
Speaker 8: weren't doing, but you know, it was it's something that

2612
02:06:29,480 --> 02:06:31,040
Speaker 8: you can ring with that saws doing them. When he

2613
02:06:31,080 --> 02:06:34,000
Speaker 8: went to high school, you know, as a freshman, that's

2614
02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:35,919
Speaker 8: when he know he got to start. He won undefeated

2615
02:06:35,960 --> 02:06:38,280
Speaker 8: as a freshman year. He's he's the kid that could throw,

2616
02:06:38,720 --> 02:06:41,600
Speaker 8: got around a good program. And then his sophomore year

2617
02:06:41,600 --> 02:06:43,720
Speaker 8: when he jumped up to the varsity, there was a

2618
02:06:43,760 --> 02:06:46,400
Speaker 8: senior quarterback there. It was great because he was going

2619
02:06:46,400 --> 02:06:48,480
Speaker 8: to get to back up a senior and really you

2620
02:06:48,480 --> 02:06:51,120
Speaker 8: know understand and watch and and and just look from

2621
02:06:51,160 --> 02:06:54,280
Speaker 8: afar Well, that senior the day before training camp, decided

2622
02:06:54,320 --> 02:06:56,680
Speaker 8: to hit the portal and go to the biggest high

2623
02:06:56,720 --> 02:06:59,680
Speaker 8: school in Tampa, and all of a sudden, Rocco got

2624
02:06:59,760 --> 02:07:02,000
Speaker 8: throught sit into a starting role with the twenty six

2625
02:07:02,080 --> 02:07:05,480
Speaker 8: seniors in high school. So he wasn't developed yet, he

2626
02:07:05,600 --> 02:07:08,240
Speaker 8: wasn't there, but man, you know he he really took

2627
02:07:08,240 --> 02:07:11,000
Speaker 8: the stride and really had a huge season, and that

2628
02:07:11,080 --> 02:07:14,000
Speaker 8: really opened eyes of you know recruiters right before kind

2629
02:07:14,000 --> 02:07:16,880
Speaker 8: of COVID hit where you know, teams would come through

2630
02:07:17,560 --> 02:07:19,960
Speaker 8: and check them out and see what he was all about.

2631
02:07:20,000 --> 02:07:22,560
Speaker 8: And that kind of really where where it started. And

2632
02:07:22,920 --> 02:07:25,440
Speaker 8: once after his sophomore year he had another good season.

2633
02:07:26,320 --> 02:07:28,440
Speaker 8: You know, he told me right right when we had COVID,

2634
02:07:28,440 --> 02:07:30,280
Speaker 8: He's like that, you know, I want to know what

2635
02:07:30,360 --> 02:07:32,600
Speaker 8: it takes. You know, what's it take to get stronger, bigger,

2636
02:07:32,680 --> 02:07:35,080
Speaker 8: faster or smarter. I want to I want to do

2637
02:07:35,120 --> 02:07:37,320
Speaker 8: it like you did teach me. And that that's when,

2638
02:07:37,520 --> 02:07:40,280
Speaker 8: like you know, as a father, you don't push those buttons.

2639
02:07:40,280 --> 02:07:43,040
Speaker 8: You wait. And that's when we turned it on. Man.

2640
02:07:43,120 --> 02:07:46,240
Speaker 8: We got in the garage, it was COVID boxes, you know,

2641
02:07:46,400 --> 02:07:50,360
Speaker 8: med balls, you know, running all this different things to

2642
02:07:50,440 --> 02:07:52,840
Speaker 8: really get them right. And really also the other side

2643
02:07:52,960 --> 02:07:56,200
Speaker 8: is the mental aspect, you know, mental toughness, you know

2644
02:07:56,440 --> 02:07:59,760
Speaker 8: from a quarterback standpoint, guys between the ears, Yeah, that's

2645
02:07:59,840 --> 02:08:01,600
Speaker 8: his knows is one thing, but you know, to be

2646
02:08:01,600 --> 02:08:05,320
Speaker 8: able to forget and you know, big mistakes happen, and

2647
02:08:05,440 --> 02:08:09,440
Speaker 8: really to latch onto the next play. He's great at that. Man,

2648
02:08:09,760 --> 02:08:12,080
Speaker 8: He's got that feature that you know that those are

2649
02:08:12,120 --> 02:08:15,320
Speaker 8: the differential factors for quarterbacks, and he's been able to

2650
02:08:15,360 --> 02:08:16,040
Speaker 8: thrive off of that.

2651
02:08:17,200 --> 02:08:18,440
Speaker 5: I think it's interesting though.

2652
02:08:18,480 --> 02:08:20,360
Speaker 4: You've talked a little bit about the fact that you played,

2653
02:08:20,360 --> 02:08:24,000
Speaker 4: and you played at the highest possible level. Your son

2654
02:08:24,080 --> 02:08:26,400
Speaker 4: is obviously doing it at the highest level in college football.

2655
02:08:26,400 --> 02:08:28,880
Speaker 4: But nil didn't exist when you played, and it does now.

2656
02:08:29,280 --> 02:08:32,960
Speaker 4: Does it change like some of the approach to you know,

2657
02:08:33,000 --> 02:08:35,240
Speaker 4: the urgency to get to the league. Obviously, the league

2658
02:08:35,320 --> 02:08:37,480
Speaker 4: is the end goal for every kid that plays, but

2659
02:08:37,600 --> 02:08:39,960
Speaker 4: do you find that there's a different sort of appreciation

2660
02:08:40,080 --> 02:08:42,600
Speaker 4: for the ability to stay in play and develop in

2661
02:08:42,640 --> 02:08:45,680
Speaker 4: college football now that there's an opportunity to also make

2662
02:08:45,720 --> 02:08:46,920
Speaker 4: that part of your career path.

2663
02:08:48,640 --> 02:08:50,920
Speaker 8: Listen, no question, we talked about this. You know this.

2664
02:08:51,120 --> 02:08:52,920
Speaker 8: This is a plan from day one. You know, when

2665
02:08:52,960 --> 02:08:56,320
Speaker 8: we looked at Iowa State, a lot of boxes for

2666
02:08:56,480 --> 02:08:59,680
Speaker 8: chefed right when you guys have watched them play. It's

2667
02:08:59,720 --> 02:09:03,000
Speaker 8: a very pro style offense. Okay, he's under center, two

2668
02:09:03,080 --> 02:09:07,480
Speaker 8: tight ends, three tight ends, empty pistol. Okay. They give

2669
02:09:07,560 --> 02:09:11,200
Speaker 8: him flexibility at the line of scrimmage to check plays.

2670
02:09:11,520 --> 02:09:13,600
Speaker 8: You know, you think about the forty nine ers in

2671
02:09:13,640 --> 02:09:15,960
Speaker 8: the rams. They do a lot of those things. Man,

2672
02:09:16,360 --> 02:09:18,920
Speaker 8: So you're talking about two years now twenty I think

2673
02:09:18,920 --> 02:09:22,320
Speaker 8: it'll be thirteen. Last year, this will be the thirty,

2674
02:09:22,440 --> 02:09:26,360
Speaker 8: So twenty six starts in the system. As a red

2675
02:09:26,360 --> 02:09:31,680
Speaker 8: shirt sophomore, you see kids hitting portals and making changes

2676
02:09:31,720 --> 02:09:35,480
Speaker 8: and listen, the portal's great. I mean, coaches leave, things happen.

2677
02:09:35,840 --> 02:09:38,520
Speaker 8: But when you start bouncing around for the wrong reasons

2678
02:09:38,840 --> 02:09:41,560
Speaker 8: and it becomes about a bag, you're not going to develop.

2679
02:09:41,680 --> 02:09:44,040
Speaker 8: So to be able to be a part of something

2680
02:09:44,080 --> 02:09:49,120
Speaker 8: and grow and understand and really you know, derive into

2681
02:09:49,120 --> 02:09:52,480
Speaker 8: the system that can help you succeed and ultimately if

2682
02:09:52,520 --> 02:09:55,200
Speaker 8: you want to get to the next level, start stacking

2683
02:09:55,240 --> 02:09:58,520
Speaker 8: those games. Because when you look at quarterbacks in the NFL,

2684
02:09:59,040 --> 02:10:01,720
Speaker 8: you know, the ones that are really successful got a

2685
02:10:01,720 --> 02:10:03,880
Speaker 8: lot of starts under the belt. You know brock Berd,

2686
02:10:03,920 --> 02:10:07,320
Speaker 8: he's got fifty college starts under his belt. You know

2687
02:10:07,440 --> 02:10:10,200
Speaker 8: Caleb Billy, you got a lot of starts. Jayden Daniels

2688
02:10:10,200 --> 02:10:14,320
Speaker 8: got almost fifty starts under his belt. Those things matter, guys,

2689
02:10:14,520 --> 02:10:16,280
Speaker 8: and if you start jumping around, you get in the

2690
02:10:16,320 --> 02:10:18,840
Speaker 8: wrong spot and the wrong offense. You know, it's really

2691
02:10:18,880 --> 02:10:21,120
Speaker 8: going to help your your process and really help your

2692
02:10:21,480 --> 02:10:22,879
Speaker 8: really take away from your growth.

2693
02:10:23,600 --> 02:10:27,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, no at that spot, man, You're so right. It's

2694
02:10:27,560 --> 02:10:31,560
Speaker 2: just because there's only one of them, right, Like, it's

2695
02:10:31,640 --> 02:10:34,560
Speaker 2: all about playing, it's all about feeling it. It's all

2696
02:10:34,560 --> 02:10:38,360
Speaker 2: about seeing the field, reading things quickly. So much is

2697
02:10:38,840 --> 02:10:42,200
Speaker 2: how quick do you process? I think that's that's really

2698
02:10:42,280 --> 02:10:44,840
Speaker 2: what I'm impressed with Rocko.

2699
02:10:44,320 --> 02:10:47,000
Speaker 3: Is how quick he processes things.

2700
02:10:48,440 --> 02:10:51,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'd say two attributes that stand out that are

2701
02:10:51,360 --> 02:10:55,440
Speaker 8: critically important to play the position at college ultimately. But

2702
02:10:55,680 --> 02:10:59,040
Speaker 8: the next level is how much do you win from

2703
02:10:59,040 --> 02:11:02,160
Speaker 8: the pocket when it's there? Are you hitting it? You know,

2704
02:11:02,200 --> 02:11:04,760
Speaker 8: we see all these great plays in the past. You

2705
02:11:04,800 --> 02:11:07,440
Speaker 8: know Kayla Williams running onto the left side of the field,

2706
02:11:07,480 --> 02:11:09,320
Speaker 8: the right side of steel door said is running the

2707
02:11:09,360 --> 02:11:11,200
Speaker 8: left side field. Then they throw a ball up in

2708
02:11:11,240 --> 02:11:12,840
Speaker 8: the air and they make this great play. That's great,

2709
02:11:13,280 --> 02:11:16,440
Speaker 8: But did you miss the deep end, the dig, the slant,

2710
02:11:16,840 --> 02:11:19,120
Speaker 8: the read that was supposed to be hit in that moment.

2711
02:11:19,560 --> 02:11:22,240
Speaker 8: And then the second thing is his release. You know,

2712
02:11:22,600 --> 02:11:24,680
Speaker 8: if he's off a little bit, the release is there.

2713
02:11:24,760 --> 02:11:27,080
Speaker 8: I mean, he's got about its face as releases i've

2714
02:11:27,080 --> 02:11:30,040
Speaker 8: ever seen. I didn't teach him that. It's just something

2715
02:11:30,080 --> 02:11:32,560
Speaker 8: that he acquired and he's got it. So you put

2716
02:11:32,600 --> 02:11:35,600
Speaker 8: those two things together, guys, you know, that can really

2717
02:11:35,600 --> 02:11:38,600
Speaker 8: help you be successful. And it doesn't help. It doesn't

2718
02:11:38,680 --> 02:11:42,240
Speaker 8: hurt to have the two only receivers in college football

2719
02:11:42,320 --> 02:11:45,240
Speaker 8: anywhere that have over a thousand yards receiving. So for

2720
02:11:45,280 --> 02:11:47,560
Speaker 8: all those parents that are listening that I'm trying to

2721
02:11:47,600 --> 02:11:49,960
Speaker 8: help recruit to get die with State, that's where you

2722
02:11:50,000 --> 02:11:52,720
Speaker 8: want to be, right So, I mean, that's that's hitting

2723
02:11:52,720 --> 02:11:55,440
Speaker 8: the ball to two guys that he knows where they're

2724
02:11:55,480 --> 02:11:57,840
Speaker 8: going to be, being on the same page. And to

2725
02:11:57,880 --> 02:12:00,640
Speaker 8: have two receivers the only two of a thousand yard receiving,

2726
02:12:00,880 --> 02:12:01,840
Speaker 8: it's pretty impressive.

2727
02:12:02,600 --> 02:12:04,920
Speaker 4: I mean, you're recruiting on air, which I love because

2728
02:12:04,920 --> 02:12:06,320
Speaker 4: you're a coach at the end of the day, and

2729
02:12:06,680 --> 02:12:08,920
Speaker 4: you know, the end of the day, I keep thinking

2730
02:12:08,960 --> 02:12:12,080
Speaker 4: back to your journey as a coach. I know obviously

2731
02:12:12,120 --> 02:12:14,160
Speaker 4: the XFL the UFL has been a big part of that.

2732
02:12:14,200 --> 02:12:16,200
Speaker 4: What have you learned about yourself as a coach over

2733
02:12:16,200 --> 02:12:17,000
Speaker 4: the last few years.

2734
02:12:18,120 --> 02:12:20,360
Speaker 8: Number One, I love this. This is my passion. You know,

2735
02:12:20,400 --> 02:12:23,600
Speaker 8: this is something I'm serious about. You know, to be

2736
02:12:23,640 --> 02:12:26,919
Speaker 8: a part of that league, you know, for Danny Garcia

2737
02:12:26,920 --> 02:12:30,000
Speaker 8: and Dwayne the Rock Johnson to believe in me. Okay,

2738
02:12:30,040 --> 02:12:32,920
Speaker 8: I wasn't on the radar guys when this league came about.

2739
02:12:33,240 --> 02:12:37,040
Speaker 8: When they bought the league in bankruptcy from Vince McMahon

2740
02:12:37,080 --> 02:12:39,800
Speaker 8: in August of twenty twenty, I told my wife I

2741
02:12:39,840 --> 02:12:41,120
Speaker 8: was going to be a head coach in this league.

2742
02:12:41,160 --> 02:12:44,480
Speaker 8: And I did it. I put the pieces, built the connections.

2743
02:12:44,480 --> 02:12:45,920
Speaker 8: I got in front of the right people and I

2744
02:12:45,960 --> 02:12:48,480
Speaker 8: sold the vision. And when you sell vision, guys, you

2745
02:12:48,480 --> 02:12:49,920
Speaker 8: got to make sure you have a plan. When you

2746
02:12:49,960 --> 02:12:52,520
Speaker 8: have a plan, you got executed well. I've won seventy

2747
02:12:52,560 --> 02:12:55,280
Speaker 8: percent of my games the first two seasons. I beat

2748
02:12:55,360 --> 02:12:59,800
Speaker 8: Bob Stoops twice, Wade Phillips three out of four times,

2749
02:12:59,840 --> 02:13:03,120
Speaker 8: and coach has at one time in my first season.

2750
02:13:03,200 --> 02:13:06,160
Speaker 8: First two seasons, and I put twenty four players in

2751
02:13:06,160 --> 02:13:09,120
Speaker 8: the NFL and training camps in two years. That's the

2752
02:13:09,160 --> 02:13:11,600
Speaker 8: whole entire starting offense and defense. When you do the

2753
02:13:11,680 --> 02:13:14,960
Speaker 8: numbers so I can develop. I'm a great leader and

2754
02:13:15,000 --> 02:13:17,120
Speaker 8: I just love helping guys, man. I love play. I

2755
02:13:17,160 --> 02:13:21,160
Speaker 8: love helping players. We fill holes in their game where

2756
02:13:21,160 --> 02:13:23,760
Speaker 8: they're missing. It's not just football, man, it's you know,

2757
02:13:23,800 --> 02:13:26,040
Speaker 8: you put you're almost as psychologist too. A lot of

2758
02:13:26,040 --> 02:13:28,960
Speaker 8: these guys, you know, it's it's in their minds as well.

2759
02:13:29,000 --> 02:13:31,520
Speaker 8: And you know, I just I'm an elite messenger, man,

2760
02:13:31,560 --> 02:13:34,960
Speaker 8: and I just love guiding players and helping them and listen,

2761
02:13:35,040 --> 02:13:37,080
Speaker 8: I'm adamant about what I'm doing. I'm on a fast

2762
02:13:37,120 --> 02:13:38,480
Speaker 8: track and I know I got to win. I know

2763
02:13:38,560 --> 02:13:42,040
Speaker 8: I got to continue to build. Built a team from scratch,

2764
02:13:42,120 --> 02:13:45,440
Speaker 8: no players two years ago, and I've been able to

2765
02:13:45,440 --> 02:13:48,840
Speaker 8: really put a team together that can with stand a

2766
02:13:48,880 --> 02:13:52,080
Speaker 8: heavy turnover because that's what our league is, and we're

2767
02:13:52,080 --> 02:13:54,200
Speaker 8: building them even better team this year. We've signed a

2768
02:13:54,280 --> 02:13:58,240
Speaker 8: lot of NFL training camp players, second round third round

2769
02:13:58,320 --> 02:14:01,080
Speaker 8: draft picks in the last three seasons that are you know,

2770
02:14:01,200 --> 02:14:03,400
Speaker 8: really had stumbles and fumbles in the NFL. We want

2771
02:14:03,440 --> 02:14:06,560
Speaker 8: to help them, so just super excited about it. The

2772
02:14:06,600 --> 02:14:08,280
Speaker 8: future is bright, man. I'm just going to stay the

2773
02:14:08,360 --> 02:14:10,840
Speaker 8: course and you never know what's going to happen here

2774
02:14:10,840 --> 02:14:11,520
Speaker 8: going forward.

2775
02:14:11,800 --> 02:14:15,720
Speaker 2: I gotta I gotta bring this out because there's a

2776
02:14:15,720 --> 02:14:21,720
Speaker 2: certain university who is in the market for a coach,

2777
02:14:22,760 --> 02:14:25,480
Speaker 2: and it happens to be a university that's very near

2778
02:14:25,480 --> 02:14:29,880
Speaker 2: and dear to your heart. You are, mister, West Virginia.

2779
02:14:30,720 --> 02:14:31,320
Speaker 2: It's open.

2780
02:14:32,160 --> 02:14:35,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know, I think two plus two

2781
02:14:35,840 --> 02:14:36,480
Speaker 3: eagles four.

2782
02:14:36,720 --> 02:14:40,520
Speaker 8: Yeah. Well, you know listen, you know, for for me

2783
02:14:40,680 --> 02:14:44,000
Speaker 8: and what I'm trying to accomplish, obviously, those those places

2784
02:14:44,080 --> 02:14:46,160
Speaker 8: mean are near and dear to me. You think about

2785
02:14:46,680 --> 02:14:49,000
Speaker 8: you know, West Virginia, you think about the Jets, these

2786
02:14:49,040 --> 02:14:51,960
Speaker 8: are two places. Quite frankly that I mean. I've been.

2787
02:14:52,000 --> 02:14:52,320
Speaker 3: I've been.

2788
02:14:52,480 --> 02:14:55,040
Speaker 8: I've been working with the Jets, not only as a player,

2789
02:14:55,080 --> 02:14:59,680
Speaker 8: but immediate personality in the building. Everybody in the business

2790
02:14:59,720 --> 02:15:02,960
Speaker 8: side of the New York Jets literally came in with me.

2791
02:15:03,040 --> 02:15:05,760
Speaker 8: Wood he came in with me. We all been part

2792
02:15:05,760 --> 02:15:08,160
Speaker 8: of It's now calling their games, you know this year.

2793
02:15:08,720 --> 02:15:11,360
Speaker 8: I mean I've seen every snap for the last decade

2794
02:15:11,440 --> 02:15:14,000
Speaker 8: in the West Virginia side. You're right, I mean, you know,

2795
02:15:14,040 --> 02:15:17,160
Speaker 8: I just love it. You know, you see that place

2796
02:15:17,240 --> 02:15:20,320
Speaker 8: and what it did for me and the path that

2797
02:15:20,440 --> 02:15:22,840
Speaker 8: was able to construct for my career. It really all

2798
02:15:22,880 --> 02:15:25,680
Speaker 8: started at West Virginia. And you know, look, they're in

2799
02:15:25,720 --> 02:15:28,520
Speaker 8: the Big twelve, man, and they got a chance. I

2800
02:15:28,520 --> 02:15:30,120
Speaker 8: mean a couple of weeks ago, how many teams in

2801
02:15:30,120 --> 02:15:31,720
Speaker 8: the Big twelve had a chance to win it like

2802
02:15:31,840 --> 02:15:34,560
Speaker 8: eight or something like that. So you know, it's a

2803
02:15:34,640 --> 02:15:38,800
Speaker 8: unique opportunity. It's a special place and you never know, man,

2804
02:15:38,880 --> 02:15:41,920
Speaker 8: you know, like I said, I you know, it's a

2805
02:15:41,960 --> 02:15:44,520
Speaker 8: place where it's kind of gotten off track a little bit.

2806
02:15:44,560 --> 02:15:46,640
Speaker 8: It's gotten away from its roots. It's kind of try,

2807
02:15:47,000 --> 02:15:49,480
Speaker 8: it's kind of lost its path with this whole Nil

2808
02:15:49,680 --> 02:15:52,920
Speaker 8: and how they recruit and you know, Neil Brown did

2809
02:15:52,960 --> 02:15:54,440
Speaker 8: a hell of a job. He did what he could,

2810
02:15:54,480 --> 02:15:56,640
Speaker 8: but I think it's time they do have to go

2811
02:15:56,680 --> 02:15:59,440
Speaker 8: find a person that can come in that knows that culture,

2812
02:16:00,040 --> 02:16:02,520
Speaker 8: that knows that that you know, what that that place

2813
02:16:02,600 --> 02:16:04,640
Speaker 8: is all about and what that fan base wants and

2814
02:16:05,040 --> 02:16:07,240
Speaker 8: they're hungry and it's I think it's a sleeping giant.

2815
02:16:07,240 --> 02:16:09,400
Speaker 8: We'll see, We'll see how that goes well.

2816
02:16:09,400 --> 02:16:11,440
Speaker 2: I'd love to see you, at least real quick as

2817
02:16:11,440 --> 02:16:13,520
Speaker 2: a follow up, I'd love to see you, you know,

2818
02:16:13,840 --> 02:16:17,480
Speaker 2: present a plan. I know you have a plan, and uh,

2819
02:16:17,640 --> 02:16:20,120
Speaker 2: I know that you've been thinking about this thing. So

2820
02:16:20,200 --> 02:16:22,839
Speaker 2: I'd love to see you be able to formally present

2821
02:16:22,960 --> 02:16:23,840
Speaker 2: a plan.

2822
02:16:24,280 --> 02:16:26,160
Speaker 3: As to what you would be able to do and

2823
02:16:26,720 --> 02:16:27,680
Speaker 3: to really.

2824
02:16:28,040 --> 02:16:31,240
Speaker 2: Get back because that place needs to get back to

2825
02:16:31,320 --> 02:16:32,280
Speaker 2: where it once was.

2826
02:16:32,360 --> 02:16:35,120
Speaker 3: I mean, you want to talk about a former great

2827
02:16:35,400 --> 02:16:36,320
Speaker 3: you know program.

2828
02:16:36,400 --> 02:16:38,959
Speaker 2: I mean that's you know, when I think about the

2829
02:16:39,000 --> 02:16:42,600
Speaker 2: Nebraskas and I think about the West Virginias that need

2830
02:16:42,680 --> 02:16:44,440
Speaker 2: to be back in the forth, I think you can

2831
02:16:44,440 --> 02:16:45,360
Speaker 2: do it.

2832
02:16:46,400 --> 02:16:48,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, you're right. It is a plan, and

2833
02:16:48,800 --> 02:16:50,280
Speaker 8: you know you got to got to you gotta have

2834
02:16:50,320 --> 02:16:51,880
Speaker 8: a great mix and understanding.

2835
02:16:51,920 --> 02:16:52,080
Speaker 3: Now.

2836
02:16:52,120 --> 02:16:54,840
Speaker 8: You know, look, the revenue share process is all new

2837
02:16:54,879 --> 02:16:57,760
Speaker 8: for coaches. A lot of these guys don't really know

2838
02:16:57,800 --> 02:17:00,320
Speaker 8: how to, you know, go through this landscape as I

2839
02:17:00,400 --> 02:17:03,039
Speaker 8: come from where I built, rosters I built and we

2840
02:17:03,160 --> 02:17:05,760
Speaker 8: deal with the salary caps. You know, those things are

2841
02:17:06,240 --> 02:17:09,879
Speaker 8: things that differentiating me from a little bit now from

2842
02:17:09,879 --> 02:17:12,200
Speaker 8: the college way where you know, coaches don't want to

2843
02:17:12,240 --> 02:17:14,200
Speaker 8: deal with that. You got to embrace everything, man, You

2844
02:17:14,280 --> 02:17:16,120
Speaker 8: got you gotta have a plan. You gotta got you

2845
02:17:16,240 --> 02:17:18,400
Speaker 8: got to have the people in place. You gotta have

2846
02:17:18,440 --> 02:17:20,800
Speaker 8: a GM. Okay, you want to talk about you know,

2847
02:17:20,920 --> 02:17:23,360
Speaker 8: my touch on that side of it, as far as

2848
02:17:23,360 --> 02:17:25,920
Speaker 8: my reach and span of the of the folks that

2849
02:17:25,959 --> 02:17:28,360
Speaker 8: I've been around. So yeah, you got to make sure

2850
02:17:28,400 --> 02:17:30,000
Speaker 8: you do have it in place and have a plan,

2851
02:17:30,080 --> 02:17:32,680
Speaker 8: and you've got to sell something that kids want. You know,

2852
02:17:32,720 --> 02:17:35,039
Speaker 8: what's what's going to be different. If I was the

2853
02:17:35,320 --> 02:17:37,400
Speaker 8: head coach in Western Down, I'll say this, you know

2854
02:17:37,520 --> 02:17:39,800
Speaker 8: a little bit, we'll be a little bit more NFL centric,

2855
02:17:39,920 --> 02:17:42,280
Speaker 8: right well, you know, our offense will be a little

2856
02:17:42,280 --> 02:17:44,600
Speaker 8: bit more. You know, when you watch the Lions and

2857
02:17:44,640 --> 02:17:46,440
Speaker 8: you watch the forty nine Ers, and you watch the

2858
02:17:46,480 --> 02:17:49,119
Speaker 8: Green Bay Packers, those are the cutups our kids will

2859
02:17:49,160 --> 02:17:52,199
Speaker 8: be watching. But we know how to simplify the NFL model.

2860
02:17:52,440 --> 02:17:54,800
Speaker 8: And that's something right now. You don't see colleges doing

2861
02:17:55,200 --> 02:17:58,280
Speaker 8: spread air raid. All that stuff's great, but is that

2862
02:17:58,320 --> 02:18:00,120
Speaker 8: going to help you get to your goal where these

2863
02:18:00,200 --> 02:18:02,680
Speaker 8: kids want to go. Guys in the NFL, we can

2864
02:18:02,760 --> 02:18:05,600
Speaker 8: put a path together, put a great staff together. I

2865
02:18:05,640 --> 02:18:07,640
Speaker 8: got a lot of staff, man, I'm telling you I

2866
02:18:07,680 --> 02:18:11,520
Speaker 8: got instantaneously could bring in over one hundred and fifty

2867
02:18:11,600 --> 02:18:14,680
Speaker 8: years of NFL pedigree if I wanted to. If that's

2868
02:18:14,680 --> 02:18:16,880
Speaker 8: the route, you know a school wanted to go. And

2869
02:18:16,920 --> 02:18:19,000
Speaker 8: now you've got credibility when you step in a room,

2870
02:18:19,200 --> 02:18:21,959
Speaker 8: when you're when you're learning how to backpedal or attack

2871
02:18:22,000 --> 02:18:24,520
Speaker 8: a football is a defensive back, you're learning it from

2872
02:18:24,520 --> 02:18:26,280
Speaker 8: one of the best that played in the game. So

2873
02:18:26,280 --> 02:18:27,879
Speaker 8: those are the kind of things that I can add

2874
02:18:27,879 --> 02:18:32,040
Speaker 8: and put a superstar staff together and you know, we'll see. Man.

2875
02:18:32,280 --> 02:18:35,120
Speaker 8: You know, those are just the small things that you know,

2876
02:18:35,160 --> 02:18:36,400
Speaker 8: somebody like make it offer.

2877
02:18:37,440 --> 02:18:39,360
Speaker 4: I'll just say, I know we're up against the time. Wise,

2878
02:18:39,400 --> 02:18:41,879
Speaker 4: I'll just say, coach the other elements of this. Your

2879
02:18:41,879 --> 02:18:44,240
Speaker 4: son's taking on a team that's had tremendous success in

2880
02:18:44,320 --> 02:18:46,600
Speaker 4: part because they have a leader that understands that program

2881
02:18:46,600 --> 02:18:49,039
Speaker 4: and came from that program in that culture. Real quick,

2882
02:18:49,040 --> 02:18:51,320
Speaker 4: do you believe it makes a difference in modern college

2883
02:18:51,360 --> 02:18:53,640
Speaker 4: football to be attached to the place that you're coaching

2884
02:18:53,840 --> 02:18:55,520
Speaker 4: with a history moving forward?

2885
02:18:55,640 --> 02:18:58,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, listen, it's a changing environment. You know,

2886
02:18:59,120 --> 02:19:02,640
Speaker 8: I think it's it's going places that nobody's been. And

2887
02:19:02,840 --> 02:19:05,400
Speaker 8: you see coaches right now, you know Nick Saban and

2888
02:19:05,959 --> 02:19:07,880
Speaker 8: you know Mac Brown, even though he didn't want to

2889
02:19:07,959 --> 02:19:09,720
Speaker 8: leave the way he did. These guys don't like the

2890
02:19:09,720 --> 02:19:12,560
Speaker 8: way the game's trending. But you know, I do believe

2891
02:19:12,879 --> 02:19:15,879
Speaker 8: you know that, you know, players and getting paid all

2892
02:19:15,879 --> 02:19:18,280
Speaker 8: that stuff is just it's a process of where we

2893
02:19:18,360 --> 02:19:21,160
Speaker 8: are and you've got to find ways to embrace it

2894
02:19:21,440 --> 02:19:24,400
Speaker 8: and and really, you know, grow from it. Is it

2895
02:19:24,440 --> 02:19:27,400
Speaker 8: tough when you're paying a kid that you know didn't

2896
02:19:27,400 --> 02:19:29,720
Speaker 8: have a dollar in his pocket maybe two months before

2897
02:19:29,760 --> 02:19:32,360
Speaker 8: he gets to a school millions of dollars or wherever

2898
02:19:32,400 --> 02:19:35,879
Speaker 8: that hellever schools do it, Yes, but can you guide them?

2899
02:19:35,920 --> 02:19:37,840
Speaker 8: Can you help them? Can you give them the vision?

2900
02:19:38,120 --> 02:19:40,560
Speaker 8: Can you supply them with the support staff around him

2901
02:19:40,800 --> 02:19:43,440
Speaker 8: to help them learn how to save money? I mean,

2902
02:19:43,640 --> 02:19:45,480
Speaker 8: these these are things that you know I've had to

2903
02:19:45,520 --> 02:19:48,520
Speaker 8: do as a pro right, so you just got to

2904
02:19:48,720 --> 02:19:50,920
Speaker 8: tear it down now to another level. Players have been

2905
02:19:50,959 --> 02:19:54,080
Speaker 8: always getting money, you know, coaches have always always been

2906
02:19:54,120 --> 02:19:56,760
Speaker 8: around it, but they've had more control. It is out

2907
02:19:56,760 --> 02:19:59,520
Speaker 8: of control because at the NC double A didn't put

2908
02:19:59,520 --> 02:20:02,240
Speaker 8: their hands in touch on this thing earlier and didn't

2909
02:20:02,280 --> 02:20:04,560
Speaker 8: get ahead of it. But now who's got the plan

2910
02:20:04,640 --> 02:20:06,800
Speaker 8: to catch up? And I do think, you know, guys

2911
02:20:06,800 --> 02:20:10,320
Speaker 8: that understand the culture, guys that understand the turning the

2912
02:20:10,360 --> 02:20:12,920
Speaker 8: turning points of this game, and guys that you know

2913
02:20:13,000 --> 02:20:15,200
Speaker 8: have a really good plan put in place will be

2914
02:20:15,240 --> 02:20:17,840
Speaker 8: the most successful. And you see it, guys, every week

2915
02:20:18,000 --> 02:20:21,520
Speaker 8: teams are losing, big teams are losing. You know, SEC

2916
02:20:21,560 --> 02:20:23,440
Speaker 8: is trying to spin it to act like you know

2917
02:20:23,520 --> 02:20:26,040
Speaker 8: Losing three games in the SEC is great. It's not

2918
02:20:26,040 --> 02:20:28,320
Speaker 8: great when you lose football games. But the depth of

2919
02:20:28,400 --> 02:20:30,840
Speaker 8: Georgia and Alabama is not there anymore. Man. You know,

2920
02:20:30,879 --> 02:20:33,279
Speaker 8: you keep everybody, so there's a lot of good players

2921
02:20:33,280 --> 02:20:35,320
Speaker 8: out there. Yeah, so what's gonna do. What's going to

2922
02:20:35,360 --> 02:20:39,480
Speaker 8: be the separating factor? Coaching? Coaches that can develop, Coaches

2923
02:20:39,480 --> 02:20:41,800
Speaker 8: that can when kids sit in the room, they see

2924
02:20:41,879 --> 02:20:44,959
Speaker 8: instant credibility. The days of a guy coaching running backs

2925
02:20:45,200 --> 02:20:47,039
Speaker 8: that you know, oh well, he can't really coach, but

2926
02:20:47,040 --> 02:20:50,480
Speaker 8: he's a great recruiter. That doesn't matter anymore. Man, everybody's

2927
02:20:50,520 --> 02:20:53,240
Speaker 8: got money. It's the deciding factor is now coaching.

2928
02:20:53,959 --> 02:20:56,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, I'm with you, brother. Listen.

2929

02:22:38,560 --> 02:22:45,160
Speaker 11: a Christmas Field, Christmas Field, wonderful gambling day today.

2960
02:22:47,160 --> 02:22:49,080
Speaker 3: All right, let's get right to it.

2961
02:22:50,040 --> 02:22:52,520
Speaker 2: So we just had Anthony beckt on his son Rocco

2962
02:22:52,640 --> 02:22:56,879
Speaker 2: as the quarterback for Iowa State, and we were talking

2963
02:22:56,879 --> 02:23:02,000
Speaker 2: about it earlier. Interesting matchup, Iowa stay, Arizona State, How

2964
02:23:02,000 --> 02:23:04,560
Speaker 2: do you say it?

2965
02:23:04,680 --> 02:23:05,439
Speaker 8: So it's interesting.

2966
02:23:05,480 --> 02:23:08,560
Speaker 11: Look, I was stayed invY of the team that they

2967
02:23:08,560 --> 02:23:11,800
Speaker 11: got off to an incredible start, right and they were like,

2968
02:23:11,840 --> 02:23:13,080
Speaker 11: I leave eight or nine and zero.

2969
02:23:13,760 --> 02:23:15,640
Speaker 8: I thought they were a fortunate.

2970
02:23:15,200 --> 02:23:20,760
Speaker 11: Team through route that stretch a little bit. I really did, uh,

2971
02:23:20,800 --> 02:23:22,680
Speaker 11: And then they got in part of their come up

2972
02:23:22,680 --> 02:23:24,280
Speaker 11: and sort of speak a little bit wrong, but they

2973
02:23:24,320 --> 02:23:26,920
Speaker 11: look credits to inity won their last couple of games

2974
02:23:26,920 --> 02:23:28,760
Speaker 11: to get in this position where they can be in

2975
02:23:28,760 --> 02:23:33,000
Speaker 11: this game today. That thing said, I just try and

2976
02:23:33,040 --> 02:23:36,000
Speaker 11: the lines right around a pick. So it's basically dealers choice,

2977
02:23:36,120 --> 02:23:38,800
Speaker 11: you know, Arizona saying is about a one point favorite

2978
02:23:38,800 --> 02:23:40,760
Speaker 11: of the scheme really is just whoever you think.

2979
02:23:40,640 --> 02:23:43,040
Speaker 8: Is going to win. And this is the first time

2980
02:23:43,160 --> 02:23:45,080
Speaker 8: Iowa State has been an underdog.

2981
02:23:44,640 --> 02:23:48,039
Speaker 11: I think in a really really long time, and she's

2982
02:23:48,040 --> 02:23:50,080
Speaker 11: been incredible against the number all year.

2983
02:23:52,040 --> 02:23:53,119
Speaker 8: Look, it's an interesting thing.

2984
02:23:53,200 --> 02:23:58,039
Speaker 11: A issue is still without their best receiver, Tyson, which

2985
02:23:58,160 --> 02:24:03,119
Speaker 11: I think will hurt them. That being said, lean here Asu,

2986
02:24:03,800 --> 02:24:06,480
Speaker 11: I thought the line should be closer to three. It's

2987
02:24:06,520 --> 02:24:08,840
Speaker 11: laying less than that I think the assue wants to

2988
02:24:08,840 --> 02:24:10,840
Speaker 11: close someone. I do expect this game to be very,

2989
02:24:10,920 --> 02:24:11,440
Speaker 11: very close.

2990
02:24:12,560 --> 02:24:14,720
Speaker 4: Speaking of expecting games to be closed, it feels like

2991
02:24:14,760 --> 02:24:16,359
Speaker 4: the world expects Penn State.

2992
02:24:16,160 --> 02:24:18,160
Speaker 5: Oregon to be close. What do you expect there?

2993
02:24:19,240 --> 02:24:20,039
Speaker 8: You know, it's interesting.

2994
02:24:20,080 --> 02:24:23,959
Speaker 11: I've kind of fused around with this one a little bit.

2995
02:24:24,400 --> 02:24:26,840
Speaker 11: I bet Penn State plus four at the or open

2996
02:24:27,520 --> 02:24:29,520
Speaker 11: got a little nervous the more I kind of delved

2997
02:24:29,560 --> 02:24:32,840
Speaker 11: into Penn State's defense and took Oregon minus three, giving

2998
02:24:32,840 --> 02:24:35,160
Speaker 11: myself a little bit of a quasi middle of a

2999
02:24:35,280 --> 02:24:38,680
Speaker 11: lands on three or four for Oregon. Right now numbers

3000
02:24:38,680 --> 02:24:41,760
Speaker 11: sitting at three and a half. The problem to me

3001
02:24:41,840 --> 02:24:43,600
Speaker 11: with Penn State when I look at them is, look,

3002
02:24:43,640 --> 02:24:47,400
Speaker 11: their best players are tight end, so that credits inherently

3003
02:24:47,440 --> 02:24:50,680
Speaker 11: it's harder for them to get more explosive plays than

3004
02:24:50,879 --> 02:24:54,840
Speaker 11: potentially someone like Oregon. I like the over in this game, guys,

3005
02:24:54,959 --> 02:24:58,280
Speaker 11: with anything else, I do think both teams are going

3006
02:24:58,320 --> 02:25:03,720
Speaker 11: to score total sitting around fifty ish. It's anything above

3007
02:25:03,800 --> 02:25:07,520
Speaker 11: three slightest. The slight leans the Penn State. But again,

3008
02:25:07,560 --> 02:25:10,800
Speaker 11: I kind of more neutral in this game as well too,

3009
02:25:10,840 --> 02:25:11,960
Speaker 11: with the current numbers.

3010
02:25:12,840 --> 02:25:18,199
Speaker 2: Uh, all right, Well, how about Georgia and Texas the rematch?

3011
02:25:19,200 --> 02:25:22,280
Speaker 2: Uh where you're at? It's funny, man fit and I

3012
02:25:22,240 --> 02:25:26,360
Speaker 2: we're talking about it. We're just I love Texas, man,

3013
02:25:26,240 --> 02:25:27,879
Speaker 2: I don't know, I love it.

3014
02:25:27,959 --> 02:25:31,520
Speaker 11: You know, maybe this is one of these ones. Shame

3015
02:25:31,560 --> 02:25:34,199
Speaker 11: on the first time, shame on new second time game

3016
02:25:34,240 --> 02:25:36,400
Speaker 11: on me. It's probably gonna be shame on me again

3017
02:25:36,720 --> 02:25:39,640
Speaker 11: because we I when they played earlier this year in

3018
02:25:39,760 --> 02:25:44,120
Speaker 11: Texas played Texas team total was like over thirdish or

3019
02:25:44,120 --> 02:25:45,280
Speaker 11: something like that, and they.

3020
02:25:45,280 --> 02:25:46,680
Speaker 8: Just never had the champions me.

3021
02:25:47,080 --> 02:25:50,039
Speaker 11: One of those games why Bull bought and quickly Beck

3022
02:25:50,440 --> 02:25:53,000
Speaker 11: had is probably is the only good game, IP. I'm

3023
02:25:53,000 --> 02:25:55,600
Speaker 11: even exaggerating when I say that, probably is only really

3024
02:25:55,640 --> 02:26:00,600
Speaker 11: truly a good game. That game played well. Maybe in

3025
02:26:00,640 --> 02:26:02,440
Speaker 11: the Albama game you played well too, I should say it.

3026
02:26:02,480 --> 02:26:06,600
Speaker 11: But point being, I just see Georgia the team. I

3027
02:26:06,760 --> 02:26:09,879
Speaker 11: just really firmly and I firmly believe it is not

3028
02:26:10,040 --> 02:26:14,119
Speaker 11: that good. I really felt the rate eighteen nineteen point

3029
02:26:14,640 --> 02:26:18,920
Speaker 11: last week against Georgia Tech Texas. One of these teams

3030
02:26:18,920 --> 02:26:21,879
Speaker 11: are great. None of these teams highest loose to Michigan.

3031
02:26:22,440 --> 02:26:25,240
Speaker 11: None of these teams tic football and r Okay, I can't.

3032
02:26:25,040 --> 02:26:25,720
Speaker 8: Stress that enough.

3033
02:26:26,200 --> 02:26:29,480
Speaker 11: But in this current end scheme, uh, I at least

3034
02:26:29,520 --> 02:26:34,480
Speaker 11: trust Texas defense. I think they can slow down Georgia

3035
02:26:34,560 --> 02:26:37,520
Speaker 11: this game. I think Texas gets to revenge again. I

3036
02:26:37,680 --> 02:26:38,840
Speaker 11: think Sidney and these games.

3037
02:26:38,720 --> 02:26:39,400
Speaker 8: Are gonna be blowout.

3038
02:26:39,520 --> 02:26:41,920
Speaker 11: I don't think that, but I really do expect Texas

3039
02:26:41,959 --> 02:26:42,240
Speaker 11: to women.

3040
02:26:42,280 --> 02:26:44,600
Speaker 8: Even actually that Texas with the money lines h and

3041
02:26:44,720 --> 02:26:46,000
Speaker 8: I really believe Texas will win.

3042
02:26:46,120 --> 02:26:47,200
Speaker 11: That's what's pretty confident on it.

3043
02:26:47,520 --> 02:26:50,800
Speaker 4: You said no blowouts. I am curious what you see

3044
02:26:50,959 --> 02:26:53,480
Speaker 4: in the ACC championship game because blowout it would be

3045
02:26:53,879 --> 02:26:55,640
Speaker 4: absolutely consequence for SMU.

3046
02:26:55,720 --> 02:26:56,959
Speaker 5: So how do you see this one playing out?

3047
02:26:57,280 --> 02:27:01,879
Speaker 8: Yeah? The most underd uh, it's.

3048
02:27:04,000 --> 02:27:06,160
Speaker 11: You by one cure of three, because that's what I

3049
02:27:06,280 --> 02:27:06,560
Speaker 11: can hear.

3050
02:27:07,680 --> 02:27:10,320
Speaker 8: I am my big Houston was.

3051
02:27:10,320 --> 02:27:12,440
Speaker 11: Emp me to win the a SEC. It led around

3052
02:27:12,480 --> 02:27:14,879
Speaker 11: forty to one before the year, so visited the team.

3053
02:27:14,959 --> 02:27:17,560
Speaker 11: I probably followed closer then team in college football.

3054
02:27:17,560 --> 02:27:19,959
Speaker 8: This year they made the switch to see Eplawyer to.

3055
02:27:19,959 --> 02:27:21,840
Speaker 11: Go to Jennings at quarterback, which I.

3056
02:27:21,920 --> 02:27:25,480
Speaker 8: Give the coach so much credit. I didn't see that coming.

3057
02:27:25,640 --> 02:27:29,199
Speaker 11: I thought it's still in the previous quarterback. But really,

3058
02:27:29,520 --> 02:27:32,800
Speaker 11: like I'm good players for that, but Jennings has been terrific.

3059
02:27:32,879 --> 02:27:36,920
Speaker 8: He's changed the entire pone of this team, so to speak,

3060
02:27:38,160 --> 02:27:40,960
Speaker 8: the day. You know, it's interesting, your schedule has been

3061
02:27:41,040 --> 02:27:42,200
Speaker 8: really poor. Uh.

3062
02:27:42,680 --> 02:27:44,760
Speaker 11: The only team that played in the top three I

3063
02:27:44,840 --> 02:27:50,039
Speaker 11: believe all year has been Louisville which day one road,

3064
02:27:50,040 --> 02:27:52,000
Speaker 11: which was a good game, which is a really quality win.

3065
02:27:52,640 --> 02:27:52,760
Speaker 8: Uh.

3066
02:27:52,959 --> 02:27:55,959
Speaker 11: Smson omously has not been a vintage club Clem's team.

3067
02:27:57,280 --> 02:28:00,240
Speaker 11: I thought the line this game it opened the team

3068
02:28:00,280 --> 02:28:04,320
Speaker 11: actually opened to see at Clinton is three, which I

3069
02:28:04,360 --> 02:28:06,640
Speaker 11: thought was a joke. I thought, as the user, to

3070
02:28:06,720 --> 02:28:10,080
Speaker 11: be about a two point favorite. We're sitting right between

3071
02:28:10,120 --> 02:28:12,640
Speaker 11: two and three right now. If line is three, I

3072
02:28:12,840 --> 02:28:14,480
Speaker 11: leave Clemston in the game. I think it's gonna be

3073
02:28:14,640 --> 02:28:15,320
Speaker 11: very very close.

3074
02:28:15,640 --> 02:28:17,680
Speaker 8: I like the over. I think both teams are going

3075
02:28:17,720 --> 02:28:20,080
Speaker 8: to score. I think both teams will success.

3076
02:28:21,120 --> 02:28:23,760
Speaker 11: It's around the mid fifties, but I really actually think

3077
02:28:23,800 --> 02:28:25,320
Speaker 11: both teams in this game are to get to thirty.

3078
02:28:26,440 --> 02:28:30,519
Speaker 3: Yeah. I could totally see that. Hey, let's go to tomorrow.

3079
02:28:33,480 --> 02:28:38,800
Speaker 2: What pops out tomorrow for you and Chiefs Chargers is

3080
02:28:39,720 --> 02:28:44,280
Speaker 2: a fascinating one. It feels like everyone has abandoned Kansas City.

3081
02:28:45,600 --> 02:28:49,360
Speaker 8: Listen, I left them too. I left them hoomless. I

3082
02:28:50,800 --> 02:28:51,200
Speaker 8: look at me.

3083
02:28:51,280 --> 02:28:55,520
Speaker 11: I got to tell you this team and listen, I

3084
02:28:55,680 --> 02:29:00,680
Speaker 11: give again. What's changed about like linemaking of me from

3085
02:29:00,720 --> 02:29:03,840
Speaker 11: the most twenty years, I'd say from lost twenty twenty.

3086
02:29:03,640 --> 02:29:06,080
Speaker 8: Five years ago. It used to me what your record

3087
02:29:06,280 --> 02:29:09,400
Speaker 8: was the old bill plartselves at what your record is?

3088
02:29:09,480 --> 02:29:12,039
Speaker 11: This to who you are, right, and that's how mindes

3089
02:29:12,040 --> 02:29:14,320
Speaker 11: were made. Like, for example, this team was twenty five

3090
02:29:14,400 --> 02:29:17,320
Speaker 11: years ago. Kansas City would be at least a touchdown

3091
02:29:17,400 --> 02:29:19,880
Speaker 11: savor here, at least because like here's a thirteen to

3092
02:29:20,000 --> 02:29:22,400
Speaker 11: one geam or twelve there. Where the record is now,

3093
02:29:23,000 --> 02:29:25,480
Speaker 11: it's got more of what your record should be, not

3094
02:29:25,680 --> 02:29:26,560
Speaker 11: what your record is.

3095
02:29:26,959 --> 02:29:28,880
Speaker 8: And Kansas City is a team that has done it.

3096
02:29:30,120 --> 02:29:30,840
Speaker 8: Let's be there here.

3097
02:29:31,120 --> 02:29:34,280
Speaker 11: You can't tell me it's not Look, Antonio appears sad,

3098
02:29:34,360 --> 02:29:37,880
Speaker 11: just kicking a field goal, runs another weird play, and

3099
02:29:37,959 --> 02:29:40,280
Speaker 11: they and they and they lose the game. You can't

3100
02:29:40,360 --> 02:29:43,400
Speaker 11: tell me that the skills of Kansas City. You can't

3101
02:29:43,440 --> 02:29:46,920
Speaker 11: call me missing field goals and Louel Lock's missing the

3102
02:29:47,000 --> 02:29:48,119
Speaker 11: twenty five years field goal.

3103
02:29:48,840 --> 02:29:50,600
Speaker 8: I'm just the team has had.

3104
02:29:51,360 --> 02:29:55,160
Speaker 11: Baker Mayfield, them beating the chiefs of Campaign overtime when

3105
02:29:55,200 --> 02:29:57,320
Speaker 11: Bulls didn't go for two, I just a lot of

3106
02:29:57,400 --> 02:29:58,440
Speaker 11: things were gone their way.

3107
02:29:59,200 --> 02:30:00,840
Speaker 8: I like the charge you're getting four.

3108
02:30:00,840 --> 02:30:04,080
Speaker 11: And this is again much further kick before the money line.

3109
02:30:04,400 --> 02:30:07,040
Speaker 11: Sure will be a post game, but I think it

3110
02:30:07,120 --> 02:30:08,959
Speaker 11: can be going down on the wire. Give me four

3111
02:30:09,040 --> 02:30:11,800
Speaker 11: points and it's a team that show cannot win by launch.

3112
02:30:13,040 --> 02:30:15,320
Speaker 4: At what point is there a point where everything adjusts

3113
02:30:15,400 --> 02:30:17,560
Speaker 4: because the team is so lucky, like from a from

3114
02:30:17,600 --> 02:30:19,600
Speaker 4: a betting standpoint, that it just feels like they're kissed

3115
02:30:19,600 --> 02:30:20,400
Speaker 4: by the football gods.

3116
02:30:21,280 --> 02:30:24,160
Speaker 11: Well, I mean, I think we're saying, in my opinion,

3117
02:30:24,680 --> 02:30:28,800
Speaker 11: we're staying there really not getting a ton of respect you.

3118
02:30:28,879 --> 02:30:32,199
Speaker 11: And here's a twelve and one team that is really

3119
02:30:32,440 --> 02:30:34,360
Speaker 11: you know, they got the check go back, that literally

3120
02:30:34,520 --> 02:30:36,840
Speaker 11: is not playing a ton of points. But I think

3121
02:30:36,879 --> 02:30:39,840
Speaker 11: we're saying that this team is really not getting the

3122
02:30:39,920 --> 02:30:44,400
Speaker 11: crazy respecting talk their record. I think it's deserve. I

3123
02:30:44,440 --> 02:30:46,680
Speaker 11: think it's very hard for this points offense line.

3124
02:30:47,080 --> 02:30:48,720
Speaker 8: They have to win by Martin.

3125
02:30:50,160 --> 02:30:54,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear you, Hey buddy real quick,

3126
02:30:54,879 --> 02:30:58,040
Speaker 2: because you're you're kind of going in and out on us. Uh,

3127
02:30:59,280 --> 02:31:01,360
Speaker 2: that's right, What are you what are the what are

3128
02:31:01,400 --> 02:31:02,560
Speaker 2: the games you like?

3129
02:31:02,800 --> 02:31:03,720
Speaker 3: Get you're on tomorrow?

3130
02:31:04,720 --> 02:31:07,960
Speaker 11: Well, I think the Bears, guys, with San Francisco's injuries,

3131
02:31:08,280 --> 02:31:12,520
Speaker 11: I think the Bears are very live to be San Francisco.

3132
02:31:12,680 --> 02:31:13,560
Speaker 8: I think it's going to be a.

3133
02:31:13,560 --> 02:31:16,240
Speaker 11: Game that is again you're getting over a field goal

3134
02:31:16,280 --> 02:31:19,080
Speaker 11: in a game that I think is really honestly close

3135
02:31:19,120 --> 02:31:21,120
Speaker 11: to fifty fifty is because I really think that the

3136
02:31:21,240 --> 02:31:23,439
Speaker 11: injury situation, you can't.

3137
02:31:23,280 --> 02:31:25,720
Speaker 8: Just go all the clubs dur injuries at all their

3138
02:31:25,760 --> 02:31:28,160
Speaker 8: skilled players out there is usually get a.

3139
02:31:28,120 --> 02:31:30,080
Speaker 11: Little bit of a bump, guys with the coaching change,

3140
02:31:31,000 --> 02:31:32,680
Speaker 11: and I think this game is going to be a

3141
02:31:33,360 --> 02:31:34,760
Speaker 11: close game, and you want to get the over a

3142
02:31:34,800 --> 02:31:35,880
Speaker 11: field when the game is close.

3143
02:31:36,160 --> 02:31:39,959
Speaker 8: I like that. I think Arizona is better than Seattle.

3144
02:31:40,560 --> 02:31:42,960
Speaker 11: They played the toughest sketch in the NFL at home,

3145
02:31:43,120 --> 02:31:46,400
Speaker 11: laying less than the field goal. Arizona's probably my favorite

3146
02:31:46,400 --> 02:31:48,280
Speaker 11: game of the week. I do think they bet on

3147
02:31:48,320 --> 02:31:50,200
Speaker 11: a rematch what I lost the game I believe two

3148
02:31:50,200 --> 02:31:50,560
Speaker 11: weeks ago.

3149
02:31:51,320 --> 02:31:54,720
Speaker 2: There you go, areas the brain, Great stuff, buddy, and

3195
02:33:54,879 --> 02:34:00,240
Speaker 2: NFL tomorrow. Okay, okay, all right, Saints and Giant. It's

3196
02:34:01,080 --> 02:34:02,320
Speaker 2: any reason to watch.

3197
02:34:03,879 --> 02:34:07,480
Speaker 4: No just to see just hey, look, keep watching Derek

3198
02:34:07,480 --> 02:34:08,879
Speaker 4: Carr because they're stuck with Derek Carr.

3199
02:34:08,920 --> 02:34:10,760
Speaker 5: He can't go anywhere, so you better hope that Derek Carr.

3200
02:34:10,879 --> 02:34:12,400
Speaker 4: You know, if you're the Saints, I don't know what

3201
02:34:12,480 --> 02:34:14,200
Speaker 4: your hope is right now, and if you're Giants, you

3202
02:34:14,320 --> 02:34:15,480
Speaker 4: just want to keep losing.

3203
02:34:16,320 --> 02:34:21,080
Speaker 2: Low and behold from nowhere, the genius of Mike Tomlin

3204
02:34:21,800 --> 02:34:28,360
Speaker 2: gives Russ another life, a second life, resurrects them and

3205
02:34:29,160 --> 02:34:34,240
Speaker 2: Steelers nine and three and now the sheeic favorite in

3206
02:34:34,360 --> 02:34:35,080
Speaker 2: the AFC.

3207
02:34:37,040 --> 02:34:38,800
Speaker 4: I mean, as good as their defense is right now,

3208
02:34:38,840 --> 02:34:41,720
Speaker 4: I have a hard time voting against them in that situation.

3209
02:34:41,840 --> 02:34:44,040
Speaker 4: And look they're gonna get you know. I know Jamis

3210
02:34:44,080 --> 02:34:45,920
Speaker 4: has spent all week praying to the gods to try

3211
02:34:45,959 --> 02:34:48,440
Speaker 4: and stop the pick sixes. But man, I feel like

3212
02:34:48,480 --> 02:34:50,119
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh's defense can feast here.

3213
02:34:50,959 --> 02:34:54,360
Speaker 2: I know, I know, you guys, you gotta like them

3214
02:34:55,200 --> 02:34:57,760
Speaker 2: tomorrow they're late six and a half, you go, I

3215
02:34:57,920 --> 02:35:05,599
Speaker 2: love the Steelers tomorrow. Vikings and Falcons like six point favorite, Uhland,

3216
02:35:05,640 --> 02:35:08,040
Speaker 2: And when's your time for Panics? Is it Panics time?

3217
02:35:08,959 --> 02:35:10,280
Speaker 5: I think it is Pennis time now.

3218
02:35:10,520 --> 02:35:13,920
Speaker 4: I do think it's ironic, though, because you know, as

3219
02:35:14,000 --> 02:35:16,840
Speaker 4: much as that's a weirdly used word, sometimes I think

3220
02:35:16,879 --> 02:35:20,280
Speaker 4: it's ironic that very likely in a week I can't

3221
02:35:20,280 --> 02:35:23,360
Speaker 4: believe they didn't flex it. Falcons Raiders is a Monday

3222
02:35:23,440 --> 02:35:26,440
Speaker 4: night football game at Allegiance I wonder if Michael Pennix

3223
02:35:26,520 --> 02:35:29,440
Speaker 4: makes his debut against the team that was absolutely sure

3224
02:35:29,480 --> 02:35:30,640
Speaker 4: they were going to be able to get him in

3225
02:35:30,640 --> 02:35:33,760
Speaker 4: the draft, which would be strange, my friends, It's strange

3226
02:35:33,760 --> 02:35:35,200
Speaker 4: all the way to its core to feel that. But

3227
02:35:35,320 --> 02:35:39,000
Speaker 4: I think, why do they flex that? I look, I've

3228
02:35:39,040 --> 02:35:40,680
Speaker 4: even talked to people that work around the Raiders that

3229
02:35:40,720 --> 02:35:41,760
Speaker 4: are surprised they didn't flex that.

3230
02:35:41,840 --> 02:35:42,840
Speaker 5: Nobody really has any answer.

3231
02:35:42,840 --> 02:35:45,840
Speaker 4: I think each team is guaranteed one primetime game, and

3232
02:35:45,879 --> 02:35:47,960
Speaker 4: I'm not sure that they counted the standalone game on

3233
02:35:48,040 --> 02:35:50,119
Speaker 4: Black Friday as that, so I think.

3234
02:35:50,200 --> 02:35:51,520
Speaker 5: I'm not sure they could otherwise.

3235
02:35:51,560 --> 02:35:57,199
Speaker 12: I don't know, Like just because ve Yeah, speaking of Raiders,

3236
02:35:57,360 --> 02:36:02,640
Speaker 12: Raiders are in Tampa, so Tampa's somebody down south has

3237
02:36:02,720 --> 02:36:03,680
Speaker 12: to take that division.

3238
02:36:04,840 --> 02:36:07,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, And look, this is the only reason you watch

3239
02:36:07,959 --> 02:36:10,480
Speaker 4: this game is to see you know, just if you

3240
02:36:10,560 --> 02:36:12,360
Speaker 4: want to watch Tampa Bay and see what it looks like,

3241
02:36:12,760 --> 02:36:14,760
Speaker 4: to have some fun, and then you hope you continue

3242
02:36:14,760 --> 02:36:17,400
Speaker 4: to see brock Bauers, you know, be historic, because that

3243
02:36:17,520 --> 02:36:19,640
Speaker 4: is the one good Every time you watch the Raiders

3244
02:36:19,680 --> 02:36:21,240
Speaker 4: right now, you have the chance to see one of

3245
02:36:21,320 --> 02:36:23,760
Speaker 4: the best young players we've ever seen in the league.

3246
02:36:24,400 --> 02:36:30,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, he is, he's fantastic. Eagles Panthers. Panther's playing better.

3247
02:36:31,080 --> 02:36:33,360
Speaker 2: But now if you go in the Philadelphia where the

3248
02:36:33,400 --> 02:36:36,279
Speaker 2: Eagles are a fourteen point favorite.

3249
02:36:36,760 --> 02:36:38,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I will say though, Bryce Young played a lot

3250
02:36:38,720 --> 02:36:41,000
Speaker 4: better than I expected of late, So I want to

3251
02:36:41,040 --> 02:36:43,360
Speaker 4: give Bryce a shout out for being you know, the

3252
02:36:43,440 --> 02:36:45,520
Speaker 4: world was sort of against him and he has turned

3253
02:36:45,520 --> 02:36:46,880
Speaker 4: it around, So kudos to him.

3254
02:36:48,560 --> 02:36:55,400
Speaker 2: Jaguars Titans, man, this is this is another AFC mess.

3255
02:36:57,000 --> 02:37:01,880
Speaker 2: Poor Doug Peterson's out as his h that's Trevor Lawrence

3256
02:37:02,200 --> 02:37:03,640
Speaker 2: Peters is going to be out for good.

3257
02:37:04,480 --> 02:37:06,440
Speaker 3: Uh what do you any reason to watch?

3258
02:37:08,480 --> 02:37:11,320
Speaker 4: I mean, Will Levis has played much better of late

3259
02:37:11,560 --> 02:37:14,480
Speaker 4: than he was playing. So you know, if you're the Titans,

3260
02:37:14,560 --> 02:37:16,199
Speaker 4: maybe you're looking around saying, hey guys.

3261
02:37:16,000 --> 02:37:19,680
Speaker 5: We we could actually have our quarterback. Maybe I don't

3262
02:37:19,720 --> 02:37:20,200
Speaker 5: think something.

3263
02:37:20,480 --> 02:37:23,360
Speaker 3: I don't think so either. I can't fold in that trap,

3264
02:37:23,480 --> 02:37:25,200
Speaker 3: in the Mayo trap. I can't do it.

3265
02:37:26,440 --> 02:37:30,320
Speaker 2: Sorry, Sorry, Will, I got I d D upgrade Jets

3266
02:37:30,600 --> 02:37:34,879
Speaker 2: and Dolphins, the dumpster fire that is the Jets.

3267
02:37:35,920 --> 02:37:39,000
Speaker 3: It's amazing that it just got to this point.

3268
02:37:40,520 --> 02:37:42,120
Speaker 4: I just hope that we all learn from it and

3269
02:37:42,200 --> 02:37:43,800
Speaker 4: next year when you're trying to put the Jets in

3270
02:37:43,840 --> 02:37:46,600
Speaker 4: the super Bowl for some stupid reason. Just realize that

3271
02:37:46,760 --> 02:37:47,280
Speaker 4: never works.

3272
02:37:47,520 --> 02:37:48,320
Speaker 5: Just just say no.

3273
02:37:52,760 --> 02:37:55,880
Speaker 2: Uh, maybe the game of the day, or at least

3274
02:37:55,920 --> 02:38:00,520
Speaker 2: the second game of the day, Cardinals and Seahawks. This is,

3275
02:38:00,640 --> 02:38:04,920
Speaker 2: you know, for supremacy in the West, in the NFC West.

3276
02:38:05,480 --> 02:38:08,520
Speaker 2: This is a really good game. I love this game.

3277
02:38:09,000 --> 02:38:12,400
Speaker 3: This is good. It's gonna have big time playoff raptifications.

3278
02:38:13,080 --> 02:38:13,280
Speaker 5: Yeah.

3279
02:38:13,320 --> 02:38:14,920
Speaker 4: I think that's the biggest part of it too, is

3280
02:38:15,000 --> 02:38:17,640
Speaker 4: like both of these teams have had inconsistent moments, but

3281
02:38:17,680 --> 02:38:19,360
Speaker 4: the division is still there for both of them to

3282
02:38:19,400 --> 02:38:22,440
Speaker 4: win it strangely, so you know, this is a huge game,

3283
02:38:22,600 --> 02:38:24,440
Speaker 4: and frankly, I'm just looking for one of these two

3284
02:38:24,480 --> 02:38:26,440
Speaker 4: teams to step up and become something that we can

3285
02:38:26,480 --> 02:38:26,920
Speaker 4: bank on it.

3286
02:38:27,080 --> 02:38:27,680
Speaker 5: Neither has been.

3287
02:38:28,200 --> 02:38:29,039
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah.

3288
02:38:29,640 --> 02:38:29,760
Speaker 8: Uh.

3289
02:38:30,360 --> 02:38:32,800
Speaker 2: The one team out West I liked and I thought

3290
02:38:32,879 --> 02:38:35,400
Speaker 2: was getting healthy but they really haven't done anything is

3291
02:38:35,440 --> 02:38:36,040
Speaker 2: the Rams.

3292
02:38:36,640 --> 02:38:39,959
Speaker 3: They got the Bills coming up. This is a good game.

3293
02:38:40,360 --> 02:38:42,520
Speaker 3: I actually like the Rams in this game.

3294
02:38:44,120 --> 02:38:46,080
Speaker 5: Well, I think I think the Bills are gonna win

3295
02:38:46,160 --> 02:38:46,440
Speaker 5: this game.

3296
02:38:46,480 --> 02:38:47,920
Speaker 4: But I do think you make a good point, Like

3297
02:38:48,000 --> 02:38:50,320
Speaker 4: we keep saying, well, the Rams are gonna the Rams

3298
02:38:50,360 --> 02:38:53,160
Speaker 4: are gonna put it together. They haven't really, so this

3299
02:38:53,360 --> 02:38:55,440
Speaker 4: is interesting. This is a big game for them obviously

3300
02:38:55,480 --> 02:38:58,080
Speaker 4: in this spot. But the Bills, I'm not the Bills

3301
02:38:58,120 --> 02:39:00,280
Speaker 4: are kind of a movable force right now.

3302
02:39:00,320 --> 02:39:03,400
Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, Niners are depleted. We talked about that.

3303
02:39:04,080 --> 02:39:06,680
Speaker 2: They got the Bears. Shame man, they just turned down

3304
02:39:06,760 --> 02:39:07,200
Speaker 2: to nothing.

3305
02:39:08,560 --> 02:39:10,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I feel for him. It's a season loss.

3306
02:39:10,840 --> 02:39:13,320
Speaker 4: I also think they just seem fatigued, like this is

3307
02:39:13,440 --> 02:39:15,879
Speaker 4: just the season loss. Better luck next year, San Francisco.

3308
02:39:16,400 --> 02:39:19,120
Speaker 3: You on the Chargers bandwagon Sunday night, like everybody the

3309
02:39:19,200 --> 02:39:19,640
Speaker 3: whole world.

3310
02:39:20,440 --> 02:39:22,400
Speaker 4: I'm on the Chargers. Okay, wagon? Can I be on

3311
02:39:22,480 --> 02:39:22,880
Speaker 4: the Chargers?

3312
02:39:22,920 --> 02:39:25,920
Speaker 5: Okay? I think the Kansas City Chiefs win this game.

3313
02:39:26,520 --> 02:39:26,920
Speaker 5: How about that?

3314
02:39:27,520 --> 02:39:28,560
Speaker 3: All right? Look at that?

3315
02:39:29,240 --> 02:39:32,200
Speaker 2: And I think the Bears are fools once again for

3316
02:39:32,360 --> 02:39:37,279
Speaker 2: not hiring Jim Harball, which was stupid, and the Cowboys

3317
02:39:37,360 --> 02:39:40,959
Speaker 2: belonging to Simpsons. Everybody, we love you. Have a great week.

3318
02:39:41,160 --> 02:39:41,800
Speaker 3: Fellas are out
