1
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: All right, well, come in. It is Sunday night, October

2
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: seventeenth year, Our Lord twenty twenty one Late Kicks Live.

3
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: We are jam packed. We have survived our trip to Knoxville, Tennessee,

4
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: not without significant danger, but nevertheless we are here sort

5
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: of a correspondent role that I'm playing for you tonight,

6
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: high at Top downtown Nashville, Tennessee, and are still sparkling

7
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: and still new smelling. Studio Edwar's Ron gonna be out

8
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: at LSU told you this was coming. It has now come.

9
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: He's going to finish the season. A press conference is

10
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: underway even as we speak at LSU. We've got to

11
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: get this show big enough to where the powers that

12
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: be at these various institutions schedule their press avails around

13
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: our show. We don't want any more than just the

14
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: world revolving around us. It's really all we've ever asked

15
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: for around here. Dan Mullen. If anyone at Florida thinks

16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: that the stuff that happened at Tennessee last night, or

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: any the other upsets yesterday going to take away from

18
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: us talking about Dan Mullen and what in the world

19
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: Florida is doing tonight, they're wrong because we will discuss

20
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: that Lane Kiffin probably I think safe to say that

21
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: one of the most polarizing figures in college football really

22
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: sort of like a Vince McMahon creation, and we witnessed

23
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: that last night. Got a lot of in depth storytelling

24
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: to do for you for our trip to Tennessee. We've

25
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: got full rapid reaction to all of Week seven, and

26
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: it was obviously a noteworthy week. We've got on added

27
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: best bet for tonight. I've got so much to get to.

28
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: I don't know how long this show is going to be,

29
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: but I know the voice is back, and so settle in.

30
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: We're going to go on quite a ride through many different,

31
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: many different stops along the college football trail. That was

32
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: Week seven yesterday. Now, if you were following yesterday, it

33
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: probably not a better day in the season so far

34
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: to have been following me on Instagram and Twitter at

35
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: Late Kick Josh than Saturday October sixteenth, Because there were

36
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: some things that we saw, and there were some things

37
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: that I witnessed last night that I recorded that I

38
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: can't be putting on the show that I'm not really

39
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: supposed to put out there. Excuse me, let me whisper.

40
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: I'm not supposed to put it out there, buriod, but

41
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: I did. You just need to know where to look

42
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: at Late Kick Josh. That stuff has been archived on Instagram.

43
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: It is one of those story highlights. So if you

44
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: want to see in all its glory of what we

45
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: witnessed last night, I'm going to show you some of

46
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: it coming up. But if you want to witness all

47
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: of it and a documentation of all the road trips

48
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: we've taken at Late Kick Josh, that's the place to

49
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: get Okay, I cannot, I mean, I can't spend fifteen

50
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: minutes filibustering to get in the show, as I've been

51
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: one to do in the past, because we've got so

52
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: much to get to. So let's dive in here. The

53
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: wait is over at LSU. It was announced today, well,

54
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: it's being announced as we speak. It was reported today

55
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: Ross Dellinger with Sports Illustrated was the first on it

56
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: that LSU and Edwar's Ron have reached a separation agreement.

57
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: He will complete twenty twenty one. Again, this is according

58
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: to the Dellinger report. He'll complete twenty twenty one. He

59
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: will not return in twenty twenty two. That's the important part.

60
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: So Edward's are on. The formality is not just a formality.

61
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: Now it's done, He's gone. He will not be the

62
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,399
Speaker 1: head coach of LSU. Full buyout expected to be delivered,

63
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: and for those unfamiliar, it's a pretty significant buyout. This

64
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: caught me mildly by surprise. Depending on what you've listened

65
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: to over the past few days, maybe you felt the

66
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: same way. The national reaction has been as expected. This

67
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: is why I've tried to keep you as dialed in

68
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: as we can. There have been some folks pretty close

69
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: to this that we've been in touch with, and so

70
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: we've had some good information on this. I've tried to

71
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: keep you as dialed in. And the reason I've tried

72
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: to keep you dialed in is for this part right here.

73
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: Because if you noticed when this news started to break today,

74
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: if you looked around the country, a lot of the

75
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: national types and a lot of casual fans that aren't

76
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: close to or on the ground in the SEC or

77
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: around LSU, they had similar reactions. Shame on LSU, man,

78
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: that's just the wild West of the SEC, less than

79
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: two years removed from winning a national title, and you're

80
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: letting him go. That's not it that's not it at all.

81
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: Did you notice, by the way, for anyone who thinks

82
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: this was a knee jerk reaction, or for anyone who

83
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: thinks that it was bad timing, cause the decision was

84
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: made after a win. Guys, did you look around and

85
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: see how many stories were posted from fourteen different media

86
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: outlets within an hour of this news breaking. Do you

87
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: know what that means? It means they were already written. Firstly. Secondly,

88
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: a little behind the scenes here, we have a Google Dot.

89
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: It is the most archaic way to ever put together

90
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: a rundown. If you don't believe me, ask some folks

91
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: in Stanford, Connecticut, or Fort Lauderdale, Florida. But it's the

92
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: way I do it. And so we have had a

93
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: lower third that I have highlighted and read, and it

94
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 1: has been the lower third that essentially you see on

95
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: the bottom of your screen right now if you're watching

96
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: it on YouTube. We've had it ready for like what

97
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: two and a half weeks column three weeks. I've just

98
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: had it in the file and I've had it marked

99
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: in redness. Don't use this until I tell you to.

100
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: Everyone behind the scenes knew this was coming. It wasn't

101
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: a knee jerk. In fact, it was decided long ago.

102
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: So I want to look at a follow up tweet

103
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: because Ross Dellinger, who broke this story for SI, he

104
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: put out his main tweet today and he broke it

105
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: on Twitter. But I want to look at the follow

106
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: up tweet he had. I'm showing you on the screen

107
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: right now. I'm gonna read it for you if you're

108
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: listening on podcasts, so orgeron. This is what the public sees,

109
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: This is what the casuals see. Oorgron's forty nine and

110
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,239
Speaker 1: seventeen at LSU, but only nine and eight since the championship. However,

111
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: this goes beyond on field results. Listen to the next

112
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: part please. A strained relationship between coach and administration, to

113
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: say the least rooted in team management and public and

114
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: private behavior. Only a tippy tippy tip of the iceberg

115
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: has ever and probably will ever be made public. That

116
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: has warped into an untenable situation, distrust and outbursts. As

117
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: we have told you for a couple of weeks. Now,

118
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: as bad as you get the kind of sensation than

119
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: it is down there, it was infinitely worse. To put

120
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: a finer point on it. Folks hated it there, players

121
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: telling people, including myself directly, they hated it there. They

122
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: had zero respect for the head coach. There was no relationship.

123
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: There was very it was very volatile, to say the very,

124
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: very very least at the kind of absence of a

125
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: much better word. It's been that way for a while,

126
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: so everyone knew that was coming. But I want to

127
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: rewind one month because this is done now. It's been

128
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: done for a little while, but it's done now, and

129
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: I think they timed it up well, and I think

130
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: doing it after a win signifies what we said a

131
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago is true going into the Kentucky game.

132
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: Remember when I told you Orgerun is going to be fired,

133
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: and I don't care what happens Saturday. It's because this

134
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: was already happening. A lot of us had already heard

135
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: that it was happening, and so he was done regardless.

136
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: He could have. I don't know if he could have

137
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: won every game and been fired, but he wasn't going

138
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: to so he could have won against Kentucky. He did

139
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: win yesterday, doesn't matter, and I'm going to talk about

140
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: that game more in just a little while. But I

141
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: want to rewind one month, because it was on a

142
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: Sunday night when I first sort of threw this little

143
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: tidbit out there, and I said, I had an agent

144
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: buddy of mine who told me about the USC job.

145
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: Don't think you're about to get any kind of quick

146
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: solutions or answers on the USC job. And I said

147
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: why I was interested, And he said, well, everyone thinks

148
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: the LSU job is going to come open. And in

149
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: my world and the agent world, in the coaching world,

150
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: a vast majority of people believe the LSU job is

151
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: a way better job than USC. I agree with that,

152
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: but it was just kind of validation to know that

153
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: they felt the same way. Well, now it's real. We

154
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: fast forward a month or so. Now it's real. Now

155
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: we've arrived at the very situation that he's sort of

156
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: alluded to happening. It's funny how people in that world

157
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: can see around the corner well ahead of time. But

158
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: it's real. And here's what I want you to remember.

159
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: I want you to remember LSU is not one of

160
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: the best college football jobs in America. LSU is one

161
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: of the best football jobs period in America. And so

162
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: I know a lot of hot lists are going to

163
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: be formed out there, and I know there are going

164
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: to be a lot of leader boards and this is

165
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: the favorite. And I'm hearing that guys the favorite. Well,

166
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: first off, be patient on this stuff. I'm not going

167
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: to give you a list of candidates tonight because there's

168
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: not a whole lot of skill in it, because I'm

169
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: not making the decision. Would I be interested in how

170
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: James Franklin would do there? Of course I would. I'd

171
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: love to see what mel Tucker would do there. They're

172
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: like two dozen guys I'd love to see get a

173
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: shot there. I don't have a say in this decision.

174
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: They have not texted me or called me about this yet,

175
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: But ninety five percent of the information being put out

176
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: right now is from agents. So as good as they

177
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: are on the front end to get some information on

178
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: the back end, it's pure self preservation mode. It's pure

179
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: be able to go to my current guy's boss and say, hey,

180
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: we talked to LSU, give him a raise mode. That's

181
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: what's happening right now. So just pump the brakes a

182
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: little bit on all the information and speculation. This is

183
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: not going to be an overnight deal, but it will

184
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: unfold over time. But I do want to say this,

185
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: This is viewed as one of the best football jobs

186
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: in America, meaning don't just cast your gaze over college football.

187
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: Don't be surprised if you start to hear some NFL

188
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: names involved in this as well. I'm not speculating specifically

189
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: about that. That's been something general that I've been told.

190
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: But you've got the salary structure of course in place

191
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: there for head coach and assistants. You've got access to talent,

192
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: you've got full administrative buy in, and you've got a

193
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: heck of an administrative model top to bottom, led by

194
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: one of the most premier athletic directors in the country.

195
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: This is why I told you the decision was going

196
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: to be so easy. The program's not a train wreck.

197
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: The head coach was, The programs still on the tracks.

198
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: The program's ready to go. You just need a new

199
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: guy driving it. But you've got fan passion, you got

200
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: top to bottom investment, you got all the stuff that

201
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: you need to win and win at a high level.

202
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: Those are the pros. The cons aren't really cons. There

203
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: are some folks out there who would tell you, well,

204
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: you got to compete in the SEC. Yeah, that's not

205
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: a con to a competitor. Well, you got to go

206
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: up against Saban. That's not a con to a competitor either.

207
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: They welcome that. So by default, the guy who is

208
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: right for the LSU job will not view the alleged

209
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: cons that you see with the LSU job as cons

210
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: at all. You've got to compete great. I wake up

211
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: at four fifty five every morning to do it. I

212
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: got to go in get Saban the best of all time.

213
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 1: I wake up at four fifty five every morning to

214
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: do what I've lived my whole life. I've climbed every

215
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: rung of the ladder in hopes that I would get

216
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: that opportunity. Competitors again, by default, these zero point zero

217
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: one percent who were qualified to be the head coach

218
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: at LSU, they're not turned off by the stuff that

219
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: some of you may be turned off by. This is

220
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: going to be fun to watch. I'm glad the move

221
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: has already been made, at least officially, so I'm excited

222
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: to hear what was said at this press conference to night.

223
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: I've probably talked more about this Tuesday. So there I

224
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: am yesterday in Knoxville, and I had several of you

225
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: talk to me about Academy Sports because you knew I

226
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: had those gift cards in my pocket. That was a

227
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: successful venture yesterday. Going to need more gift cards, So

228
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: I'll be talking to Academy this week about that. But

229
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: what has started to happen is you guys have gone

230
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: away from just sending me pictures of receipts. Please keep

231
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: doing that. You have been doing that and tag me

232
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: and then when you post them. But now I'm getting

233
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: pictures of product, and it's product on site, so a

234
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: lot of you. I had someone, I think it was

235
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: at a Utahs Stoy eight or a Utah tailgate yesterday

236
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: showing me pictures of like a whole family's worth of

237
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: Academy chairs. And then I was in Knoxville, so I

238
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: saw that entire tailgating scene and it was beautiful and

239
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: there was so much Academy. And my question is not

240
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: to those of you who have already purchased, but to

241
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: the two or three of you out there who have

242
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: not yet. I don't know what you're waiting on, because

243
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: I see the gear you're rolling with. It could be

244
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: so much better. It could be just come across the bridge,

245
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: just come join us and help the show in the process.

246
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors of course, the official outdoor sporting

247
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: get supplier of the Big twelve and the SEC and

248
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: of Lake Kick. And here's the most important part. You

249
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: need to know, we genuinely like them. They are our friends.

250
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: That's why we allow them on the show. This right here,

251
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 1: by the way, the b roll of the turkeys over there,

252
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: the Hokies. It always catches me off guard. If you're

253
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: listening on podcasts, forget the last ten minutes of what

254
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: I said or ten seconds of what I said. So

255
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors. There are some more things that

256
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: we are partnering with them on down the road, but

257
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: just this initial kind of segue into our partnership. It's

258
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: been really fun and been really rewarding. And it's nice

259
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: that when I walk through those areas that I often

260
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: have to get into a stadium, that's what I'm told.

261
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: It's shake hands, nice to meet you. Oh, by the way,

262
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: by the way, look at what I have over here,

263
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: and it's something from Academy. So that's been fun. Thank

264
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: you so much to Academy, and thank you to you

265
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: for already making that partnership a success. And if you

266
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: can't get to a store. Academy dot com, Academy dot com,

267
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: Academy dot com. Speaking of being in Knoxville last night,

268
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: let's talk about the Ole Miss Tennessee game. Ole Miss

269
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: thirty one Tennessee twenty six. Who in the world thought

270
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: thirty one was going to be enough? I would have

271
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: made a significant side wager that someone was going to

272
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: have thirty one before halftime. I would have lost, but

273
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: I would have made that bet. A lot of things

274
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: are getting overshadowed today, so I want to very responsibly

275
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: break this down Lane Kiffin first and foremost, let me

276
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: hit the game. Lane Kiffin last night sort of embodied

277
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: everything that you would expect to have seen in a

278
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: bygone era on Monday night. Raw. Let's say you've got

279
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: full heel persona. You've got all the bells and whistles

280
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: of a character, not just a person, but a character

281
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: that was created in one of Vince McMahon's laboratories up

282
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: there in Stanford, Connecticut, as a matter of fact. And

283
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: boy he played it, and boy he loves it. He

284
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: doesn't shy away from it. Lane Kiffin leans in to

285
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: the heel persona. And so I'm standing there last night

286
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: and I'm watching Matt Corral, and you're watching him right now,

287
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: if you're watching on YouTube, have the game of his life.

288
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: And this was overshadowed. No one's talking about this today.

289
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: This is one thing that's been overshadowed. Matt Corral goes

290
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: for two thirty one through the air, one ninety five

291
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: on the ground. I can't even begin to count how

292
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: many third downs he bailed them out on with his legs,

293
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: a couple of them with his arm, but with his legs.

294
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: All miss ended up running one hundred and one offensive plays.

295
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: Side note, Tennessee doesn't have a bye coming up this week.

296
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: Tennessee's defense on the field one hundred and one plays.

297
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: They got to go to Alabama this week. They still

298
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: got to play Georgia too, So it's sledgehammer to the kneecap,

299
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: sledgehammer to the shin, sledgehammer to the throat. That's life

300
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: in the sec. One hundred and one to seventy nine

301
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: total plays there. Yet Tennessee had a shot several of

302
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: them actually in the second half, because Tennessee's defense did

303
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: a very good job. I think much better than people,

304
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, I thought both sides defensively

305
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: performed a little bit higher level than really most people

306
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: expected them to. Tennessee had several shots. There were multiple

307
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: times one possession game Tennessee's got the ball, Tennessee has

308
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: a chance to take the game. Since we were talking

309
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: about pro wrestling, it's like the ladder match and you're

310
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: on the highest rung and you're reaching for the belt,

311
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: but it's maybe it's swinging from the rafters, or maybe

312
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: you know someone's grabbing your ankle, but you keep reaching

313
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: and you can't grab the belt. You can't grab the belt.

314
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: Tennessee could not grab the belt last night. No matter

315
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: how many times they lunched for it, they couldn't grab

316
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: the belt. Then the fourth quarter comes around, and the

317
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: fourth quarter was one of the longest two months of

318
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: my life last night. Let me take you through my

319
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: train of thought, because everyone who watched this game remembers

320
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: it in your own unique way. So there was a

321
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: I think we can all agree, a very suspect, a

322
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: very sketch fourth down spotting of a ball wasn't even

323
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: close to the first poor spot of the night, but

324
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: it was a very bad spot. I thought it at

325
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: the time. It was validated on replay, but it doesn't

326
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: get overturned, and so Tennessee loses possession of the ball,

327
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: and it looked like for all the world that meant

328
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: they had lost the game. Now it turns out about

329
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: an hour later we found out they still had a

330
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: chance to win the game. But what followed was really

331
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: ugly scene. I'm not going to shy away from that.

332
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: It's a very ugly scene. I'm going to talk about it.

333
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: I was standing right down there in that end zone,

334
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: so I was I was under fire just as much

335
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: as anyone else was. But what I want to emphasize

336
00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: before we take a look at some of the b

337
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: roll I shot last night, Yes, I had the eye

338
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: Josh with me is it was not a spontaneous reaction.

339
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: And I can tell you it's not. And I can

340
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: tell you it wasn't because I felt it building all night.

341
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: Now here's what I'm about to do. I'm going to

342
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: probably caveat this two or three times over the next

343
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: few minutes. Nothing I'm about to say is meant in

344
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: any way whatsoever to excuse any of the horrific behavior

345
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: from some, not all, not even most, but some last night.

346
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: I think I've been clear enough not Portuguese. We're speaking

347
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: pure English to you, not excusing any of it. But

348
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: what I am telling you is it was not spontaneous.

349
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: You could feel it building. And when they were in

350
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: the middle of that replay last night, I'm talking to

351
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: a couple of guys next to me. I've been in

352
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: these positions enough to feel a crowd you know, A.

353
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: You know when they're going to rush the field. B.

354
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: You know when you're about to have to turn around

355
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: or else get pelted with a debris. And I knew

356
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: they were about to throw stuff, and I told someone

357
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: two guys next to me, watch what happens. You better

358
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: turn around. I was telling them what protocol is, turn

359
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: your face to the crowd instead of what you think

360
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: you should do if this call does not go Tennessee's way.

361
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: It was a horrifically officiated game last night. You couldn't

362
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: change anything at that point. But the culmination was when

363
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: that call doesn't get overturned, here we go. Now, if

364
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: you've never been in this situation, let me tell you

365
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: what you don't do. What you don't do is turn

366
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: your back and face the field and then just let

367
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: your entire head be exposed. What you have to do,

368
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: which I learned the hard way a couple of years ago.

369
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna mention which venue. You've got to turn

370
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: your body to the field, and you've got to turn

371
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,479
Speaker 1: your face to the crowd. You got to open your

372
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: eyes really wide, and you got to look up, and

373
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: you have to be like an entire little radar screen there.

374
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: You got to go left, right, left, right. That saved me.

375
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: I counted three different times, maybe four, but at least

376
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: three different times over the next several minutes as debris

377
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: just rained down on the field from getting nailed. Having

378
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: said that, knowing me like you do, you know, I

379
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: didn't leave the end zone. Instead, I pulled the eye

380
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: Josh out. And I couldn't I can get great footage

381
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: while it was happening because I didn't want to bust

382
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: a lens. But after the initial couple of showers of

383
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: debris had happened, I did pull out the eye Josh.

384
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: I think we have some of the footage. Actually, I

385
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: did pull out the eye Josh, and I just kind

386
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: of scanned the floor and yeah, it was a bad scene,

387
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: and yeah, they hit stop play, and I think I

388
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: ended up on the fifty yard line by the way,

389
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: here's how crazy this was last night. This is during

390
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: stoppage of play if you're watching on YouTube, I with

391
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: over a minute to go in the game, spent about

392
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: ten minutes on the midfield logo talking to players as

393
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: the game still is going on and no, world is

394
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 1: that supposed to happen. But yet you had to clear

395
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: the sideline because the cops came in. And when I

396
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: say cops, I mean the entirety of every police force

397
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: in the state of Tennessee comes in. So yeah, that

398
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,239
Speaker 1: was the scene. Okay, obviously there's no excusing this. This

399
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 1: is very, very poor decision making. But the key, folks

400
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: is to always turn your face right towards where the

401
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: action's coming from. Don't turn your back to it, kids,

402
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: do not turn your back to it. Now, before I

403
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: talk about what the impetus was aside from poor decision making.

404
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: For that, I want to show you the video I

405
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: shot of Lane Kiffin exiting the field last night. When

406
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: I tell you lane kiffen leans into the heel persona,

407
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: what I mean is he leans into the heel persona.

408
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: If they're gonna hate you, you can't change their mind.

409
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: So Lane Kiffin's walking off the field and they have

410
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: not flushed the student section. First way that I knew

411
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: something was about to go wrong. So lane Kiffin is

412
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: pointing to his heart, then pointing to the student section

413
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: number one. They're giving him one finger salutes too, and

414
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: here it comes, bottle boom, lane Kiffin Odell Beckham one

415
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: handed catch and then for good measure heads down the tunnel.

416
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 1: And what does he do with the visor? He tosses

417
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: it into the crowd and a couple of Tennessee fans

418
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: fought over it. That's what kind of night it was.

419
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: So one part, that's a little embarrassing. Another part, if

420
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: you're just watching and ding it for what it is

421
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: on the surface, it's kind of entertaining. But by and large,

422
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: it was a bad night for the conference, but not

423
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: just a bad night for the University of Tennessee. I

424
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: want to stress it was a bad night for the conference.

425
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: So remember what I just said a second ago, because

426
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: I need to reiterate it again. Now, nothing I'm about

427
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: to say talking slow enough. Yes, nothing I'm about to

428
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: say is meant to excuse any of that. But we

429
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: need to talk about something that I really haven't spent

430
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: a lot of time talking about on this show. The

431
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: SEC has a major officiating problem. And here's the problem.

432
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: It's not good enough. You have got a billion dollar

433
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: operation going on, you've got the premiere product in the sport,

434
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: and you've got a nickel and dime officiating kind of

435
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: facet to it, a tentacle to it. That's inexcusable. And

436
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: it's been this way for a while. Let me tell

437
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: you why this didn't just crop up last night. I'm

438
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: sitting in the press box five hours before kickoff and

439
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: they're handing out the game cards, and you have the

440
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: officiating crews always listed on the game cards. There were

441
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: people who already were foretelling that evening's events when they

442
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: saw the officiating crew that was assigned to the game.

443
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: That's the same crew that horribly botched Memphis and Mississippi

444
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: State a few weeks ago. And they put them on

445
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: a powder keg of an environment, knowing full well what

446
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: could happen. And then also you just have you have

447
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: shoddy products already from that group, and there they are

448
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: there they are What price do you pay? You suck

449
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: at work, you get fired. They haven't paid a price.

450
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: And if the price is behind the scenes, slap them

451
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: on the wrist twenty dollars. Fine, that's not a price.

452
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: So there they are last night, and then you have

453
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: questionable call off, questionable call after questionable call. And what

454
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying is a bunch of Tennessee fans did something

455
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: stupid last night. We can acknowledge that, but I also

456
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 1: don't think it's excusing the behavior to acknowledge that. Without

457
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: piss poor officiating, you never would have gotten to that point.

458
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: And it's not the first time it's happened, and it

459
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: will not be the last time it happens. In the SEC,

460
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: they got a big time officiating problem down here. It's

461
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: happening every single week. It's not just an SEC problem.

462
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: But this is a conference that claims it wants to

463
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: lead by action, it wants to lead the pack. So

464
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: before anyone else does anything, how about the SEC take

465
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: the lead and again acknowledge this is a billion dollar brand.

466
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: We should not have a nickel and dime officiating branch

467
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: on an otherwise billion dollar tree. There's no reason for it.

468
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: I've asked around to people in positions of authority, right

469
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: up to Greg Sankie, who will not give you an answer.

470
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: But aside from Greg Sankab asks people, no one ever

471
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: gives you good answer. They will always beat around the

472
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: bushes like they fumble around in their pocket for an

473
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 1: official league statement on it. It's not good enough. No

474
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: one down here thinks it's good enough. No one's happy

475
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: with it, No coaching staff's happy with it, no fan

476
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: base is happy with it, none of them. This goes

477
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: infinitely beyond the old well they remember the bad calls,

478
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: but don't remember the good calls. It's not that there's

479
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: common sense here. It's not that he goes ten miles

480
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: beyond that. But what the shame of it all is

481
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: is how much got overshadow last Matt Carrel's night, Lane

482
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: Kiffin's night, for that matter. It gets overshadowed. A great

483
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: game got overshadowed. But there's one more thing that got overshadowed,

484
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: and that is the crippling amounts of fake injuries in

485
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: that game last night that stretched it four and a

486
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: half hours. If this would have been a noon game,

487
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: do you realize it would have gone into the second

488
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: quarter of the three point thirty kickoffs second quarter. They

489
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: don't put up with that on Sundays. That's one of

490
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: the facets the NFL gets right. They don't put up

491
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: with those long games if overtime's not involved. What has

492
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: happened here is a result of tempo based offenses. That's obvious.

493
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: And we used to sparingly see it. You know, you

494
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,719
Speaker 1: want to slow down the offense, you fake the injury.

495
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: Well nothing got done about it, nothing because you looked

496
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: around and you said, oh, it just happens here and there.

497
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: Well last night there were over a dozen of them

498
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: and it wasn't it wasn't shrouded in mystery. It was

499
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: blatantly obvious. There were guys looking to the sideline, they

500
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: get the queue, they fall down like they got sniped

501
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: in the ankle. No one's even trying to hide it.

502
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: No one's under the guys that anything else is going

503
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: on other than injuries being faked. So what are we

504
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: going to do about it? Because I think before the

505
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: ending of that game, Ole Missus win was going to

506
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: be talked about and this was going to be the

507
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: next biggest talking point. Well, I'm not letting it go

508
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: because it's a mockery of the game. It's embarrassing. It's

509
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 1: embarrassing to watch that be passed off as a legitimate product.

510
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: That's not legitimate. If I were to have never been

511
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,239
Speaker 1: a fan of football, you know, like, let me, let me,

512
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: let me put it to you like this. I don't

513
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: like soccer. I don't really care about soccer. I'm not

514
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: gonna say I don't like it. I don't really care

515
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: about soccer. But when I watch it occasionally I have

516
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: questions about things. There are some rules I have questions

517
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: about that don't make sense to me. But I don't

518
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 1: ask them to change their game. They'll be fine without me.

519
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: But imagine a soccer fan whose game that you don't

520
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 1: think makes a whole lot of sense coming to your

521
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: house last night and they're watching Old Miss Tennessee. And

522
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: imagine after you've made fun of soccer for flopping all

523
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: these years, imagine they watched Ole Miss Tennessee last night.

524
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: And that's American college football. I've listened to you hate

525
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: on my game. I've listened to you hate on football,

526
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 1: and this is football. This is what you're prectic. That's

527
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: not anything. This guy doesn't even have a swollen ankle.

528
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: This guy doesn't even have a cut on his wrist.

529
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: He's laying down on the ground like you just well,

530
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say it because of recent events, but

531
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: you know what he's trying to pass off anyway. There

532
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: has to be actual deterrent for this. You can't just

533
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: tell coaches not to do it. I'm not even mad

534
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: at Ole Miss or Tennessee. They're just doing what they

535
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: know they can get away with. I'm not even hating

536
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: on either program. I'm telling you that we've got such

537
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: a backwards officiating apparatus in this sport right now, to

538
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: where I can do everything my coach tells me to do,

539
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: and because someone else holding a football lowers his body

540
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: and I hit him in the helmet, I'm ejected for

541
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: a half of a game or the rest of a game.

542
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: And yet I can fall down and blatantly fake injury

543
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: and I get everything I want. There is no risk

544
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 1: to do it. I just fall down, And in fact,

545
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: some guys did it last night and almost a mocking

546
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: fashion's fall down lifeless. Just fall down. So what are

547
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: you going to do about it? It's not up to me,

548
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 1: It's up to you, Like you run the league, it's

549
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: up to you. What are you going to do about it?

550
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: Because if there's nothing punitive, if there's no deterrent, it's

551
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,959
Speaker 1: gonna keep happening. What I would suggest is that you

552
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: if you're injured, if you're on the ground, you got

553
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: to miss at least a quarter of football, the equivalent

554
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: to a quarter of football, not just the series. You

555
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: need to have to miss a quarter of football. If

556
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: you can't come back in, then you can't come back in.

557
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: So make them sit out a minimum of fifteen minutes.

558
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: And at that point still if a coaching staff used

559
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: the risk reward is making sense. Do want to sacrifice

560
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: a guy full fifteen minutes by all means, stop play

561
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,239
Speaker 1: go for it. A lot of good overshadowed last night.

562
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: It was a fun trip too. Love Tennessee, got treated

563
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: great there. Love Tennessee, Love the folks there. Black eye

564
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 1: caused by some. I'm not going to do what a

565
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: lot of our brethren did in the national college football

566
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: media last night and vanished the entirety of the Tennessee

567
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: fan base to Guantanamo detention while we await sentencing for them.

568
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: Really don't think it was that big a deal comparatively speaking,

569
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: There are bigger issues in the world. But yeah, it

570
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: was a bad look for some, But I can tell

571
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: you had a different vantage point in pretty much everyone else.

572
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: I was telling Director Colin, I'm on the field, I'm

573
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: looking up. I can tell you what nine tenths of

574
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: those fans were doing. They were looking around trying to

575
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: find out who was throwing stuff. That's what the rest

576
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: of them were doing. So don't let the few allow

577
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: you to cast dispersions on the many. That's all I'm asking.

578
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: Let's move on. Oh no, no, no, no, we didn't

579
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: forget We did not forget it all. LSU ran for

580
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: about half a mile yesterday en route to a forty

581
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: nine to forty two win over Florida, maybe the most

582
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: stunning outcome for me personally this season. I cannot tell

583
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: you how confident I was in Florida running the score

584
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: up on LSU yesterday, and instead we get this. So consider,

585
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: just consider what you witnessed yesterday, because this was a

586
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: monumental upset in so many different ways. But yet then again,

587
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: we saw it a year ago. We saw LSU gutted,

588
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: we saw them as a double digit underdog, and we

589
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: saw beat Florida. So we saw that already. But consider

590
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: why yesterday was supposed to be different. First off, this

591
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: is twenty twenty one. Dan Mullen told me it would

592
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: be all well and good in twenty twenty one. Number two,

593
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: you just had the Kentucky debacle two weeks ago where

594
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: they beat you without even throwing for one hundred yards

595
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 1: and you slept walk through that one. Number three you

596
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: know what LSU did to you last year. And number

597
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: four ls you can't run the ball to save their

598
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: lives until they line up with you. This is a

599
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: stat that goes beyond Padlock. I don't even know what

600
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: planet this stat comes from. LSU woke up Saturday morning. Okay,

601
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: they were one hundred and twenty seventh in the country

602
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: in total rushing undred. They're only like one hundred and

603
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: thirty teams out there. They were horrifically bad. They were

604
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: history bad by a mile, the worst rushing product on

605
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: the field in the history of LSU football, and Tyrian

606
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: Davis Price yesterday goes for two hundred and eighty seven

607
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: just by himself LSU overall over three hundred. Davis Price

608
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: sets an LSU single game record. It's the most rushing

609
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: yards Florida has ever given up in a game. They

610
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: used to play against herschel Walker. It's the most rushing

611
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: yards they've ever given up in a game against, by

612
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: a long shot, the worst Power five rushing offense in America.

613
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: This is called being unprepared to play a football game.

614
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: It's not an x is and o's thing. It's just

615
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: being holistically unprepared among the x's and o's problems. So

616
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you what I thought about it

617
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: when I was watching. I was in the Tennessee press

618
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: box and I was watching this game yesterday, I had

619
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: a little wrestling buddy. Grown up. By wrestling buddy, I

620
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: don't mean a kid in my sixth grade gym class.

621
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: I mean the stuffed wrestling buddy, the one your parents

622
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: buy you so that you can wrestle with it, and

623
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: you always win, or you're supposed to win. But soon

624
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,239
Speaker 1: you get tired of beating the wrestling buddy because it's

625
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: an inanimate object. It's just a little stuffed doll. So

626
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: you have to fight for yourself, and then you also

627
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: have to fight for the wrestling buddy. So you let

628
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: the wrestling buddy punch you, and then you take its

629
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: leg and you let it kick you. That's basically Florida yesterday.

630
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: Florida looked at lsu a wrestling buddy. It should have

631
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: been a lifeless body that you ran over and backed

632
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: up and ran over again as many times as you

633
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: wanted to. And instead, it's like Florida's taking LSU's leg

634
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: and they're kicking themselves in the face with it, and

635
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: then they take LSU's hand and then they backhand themselves

636
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: with it, and at the end of the day you

637
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: had track marks all over you. And here's how bad

638
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: it was. You want to know how bad a day

639
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: it was for Florida yesterday, Here's how bad a day

640
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: it was. Florida lost to a coach that got fired. Anyway,

641
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,959
Speaker 1: that's how bad the day was for Florida yesterday. Woof, woof, woolf.

642
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: Speaking of dog sounds, they still got to play you

643
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks. So if you want to

644
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: start forecasting how ugly that one's going to be, now,

645
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: don't let me get in your way. Here was my

646
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: fear at the beginning of the year, then I'm afraid

647
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: is being validated right now. My fear going back to

648
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: last year, those of you who have watched the program

649
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: for a little while, No, my fear was Dan Mullen

650
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: was sold on going to the NFL. It turns out

651
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: the NFL wasn't quite as sold on Dan Mullen, but

652
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: we had reason enough to know that Dan Mullen badly

653
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: wanted a shot at the NFL. It was my belief

654
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: then and it still is now that in the middle

655
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: to latter portion of last year Mullen had convinced himself

656
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: he was going to get an NFL job. Therefore, that

657
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: was his last season in Gainesville. His actions last year

658
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: sort of correlated with that theory. He acted in a

659
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: very loose manner. He acted kind of in the way

660
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: that you would if it was, you know, March of

661
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: your senior high school year. You can act in a

662
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: way because you're headed out the door that you couldn't

663
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: act a year ago. But then he didn't get the

664
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: NFL job. Okay, worse things have happened. But my question,

665
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: as it pertains to twenty twenty one and beyond was

666
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: is he just going to be able to check back in?

667
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: And he hasn't been able to. Regardless of whether my

668
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: theory is right or wrong, he hasn't been able to.

669
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: This team has not been able to check back in.

670
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: They've had a stretch of some really, really bad football

671
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: starting last year and extending into this year. And here's

672
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: the problem. The problem is you remember that Bowl game,

673
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: if you want to call it, a game against Oklahoma

674
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: where Florida kind of got treated like a wrestling buddy.

675
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: But Dan Mullen told you, well, the last game for

676
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: this team was, you know, against Alabama. This is next

677
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: year's team. You know, we checked out and it was pathetic,

678
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: but at least in terms of twenty twenty one, you

679
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: were willing to hold your nose and maybe accept a

680
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: little bit of that and say, okay, for devil's advocate purposes,

681
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: maybe Dan's right, and maybe twenty twenty one will be good.

682
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: Then they almost beat Bama, and so for a little

683
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: while it puts lipstick on the pig. But man at

684
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: lipstick wore off really quick. In fact, one week later

685
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: in Lexington, Kentucky, and he just pushed the dat down

686
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: the road, is all he did. They got some fundamental

687
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: problems there that were not solved, and it didn't get

688
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: solved with a couple of defensive assistants moving on and

689
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: new guys being brought in. I cannot, for the life

690
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: of me figure out the quarterback dynamic. I'm starting to

691
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: think that Florida fans have been as right about Anthony

692
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: Richardson as Oklahoma fans where about Spencer Rattler. Maybe you

693
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: guys do know your roster better than your head coach.

694
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: I never say stuff like that because it can't be true,

695
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: can't it. But then again, you don't know what's going

696
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: on behind the scenes. I'm not at practice. That's why

697
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: I've never been one to just openly question personnel decisions.

698
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: But man, when we get game film on guys, when

699
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: we watch Anthony Richardson come in and we watched the

700
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: product on the field, it's kind of like when Caleb

701
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: Williams eventually came in for Oklahoma. You can't deny it anymore.

702
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: Except the head coach at Florida is still kind of

703
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 1: trying to deny it with the way he's operated. How

704
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: does Anthony richards is not starting against Georgia. I'm gonna

705
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: leave that. We got a couple of weeks to talk

706
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: about that. But I got asked, so obviously. I get

707
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: asked last night after Florida has lost, is it time

708
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 1: to move on? From Dan Mullen. Every time a team loses,

709
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: the fan base asks you, is it time to fire

710
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: fill in the blank. So is it time to move

711
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: on from Dan Mullen? No, I'm not there. You know,

712
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: it's got to go to step ten, eleven, and maybe

713
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: even twelve before I ever advocate for anyone being fired,

714
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: only because I know how hard it is to replace

715
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 1: coaches with other quality coaches. Having said that, fundamental changes

716
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: have got to be made there, and I got a

717
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: couple of them. But I think in a perfect world

718
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: you make both of these changes. You've got to make

719
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 1: a change at defensive coordinator, like there's no question about this.

720
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: You've got to make that change, and you've got to

721
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: bring in a world class defensive coordinator. Now here's what

722
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: I would hope. I would hope he's a world class

723
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: recruiter too, and spare no expense to do it. John

724
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: Hammond Jurassic Park. We s we spaed no expense. You've

725
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: got to fix the recruiting apparatus there too. I don't

726
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 1: know how many more games. I know the Florida fans

727
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: know this, but kind of speaking to the choir here,

728
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: how many more games do we have to see where

729
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: Florida does not have the adequate caliber of athlete to

730
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: bail them out of subpar performance before we know we

731
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: got a recruiting issue down there again. Florida fans know

732
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: this like they'd finished the sentence for you if they

733
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: were sitting in here right now. But if it's not addressed,

734
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,760
Speaker 1: if defensive coordinator and the recruiting apparatus there's not addressed,

735
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: then you've got what you've got with Dan Mullen. You're

736
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: four years in now, but really you've watched his career.

737
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: You've got what you've got. You've got a good coach

738
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: that every few years could pop an unexpected result on you.

739
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: It's not gonna win you a championship because you cannot

740
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: out scheme people in the playoff when you don't compare

741
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: with them athletically. But maybe he'll win the SEC East

742
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: in Georgia's down years. The problem is all due respect.

743
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: If this was the University of Missouri, that'll be great.

744
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: This is Florida. It's not good enough. It can't be accepted.

745
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: Is good enough. The fans don't accept her. So this

746
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: is more directed at people who are actually in decision

747
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: making positions down there. But wow, I mean, I'm I'm

748
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: just telling you it's got a sting when you get

749
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: beat and it's thought so little of that. They just

750
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: fired a coach anyway. I know there were other circumstances

751
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: involving that, but it's just on the surface it doesn't

752
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 1: feel good. All right, more takeaways here, Let's take a

753
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: little sippy sip of water. Thank you for being tuned

754
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: in live if you are by the way we have got.

755
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,280
Speaker 1: I did not put. I did not put. The restrictor

756
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: played on the chat tonight, so anybody and everybody can

757
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: participate in the chat. But I would just humbly ask

Speaker 1: that you subscribe to the channel. We're about to hit

759
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 1: seventy thousand. They said it couldn't be done, and here

760
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: we are a little over a year after we launched

761
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 1: it making it happen. So that's all we asked. It's free,

762
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: not going to blow up your inbox or anything. Just

763
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: subscribe to the channel. Several other games to react to

764
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: from yesterday. Well there it goes Iowa. How about that.

765
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do the I told you so thing,

766
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: like a lot of you thought I was going to,

767
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: judging by my inbox. It's just that This is why

768
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: the power rating world is different than the rankings world,

769
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: because Iowa was never the second best team in the country,

770
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: although it was perfectly fine to rank them number two.

771
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: But yesterday you saw what happens. You want a padlockstat

772
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: here's the beginning and the ending of it. Minus three turnovers.

773
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: So Iowa rode a wave of turnover magic and special

774
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: teams magic all the while they were totally inferior offensively.

775
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: This is not telling Iowa fans anything. They don't know.

776
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: The misconception was that formula was duplicable throughout a whole season,

777
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 1: and it's not. It never will be. It never was.

778
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: It didn't even need to be that extreme. Yesterday, guys,

779
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: they didn't get beat twenty four to twenty three. They

780
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 1: got beat twenty four to seven. So minus three turnovers,

781
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: I would suggest to you, even if it was just

782
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: even in turnovers, they were gonna have a dogfight on

783
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: their hands. That is Iowa. When you're that bad offensively,

784
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: if you don't get the turnover breaks, even Peru is

785
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: going to push you to the very limit, or in

786
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: this case beat you by double digits. So now where

787
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: is Iowa. So now that we've come off this notion

788
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 1: held by some that they were going to be a

789
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: playoff contender, which they never were gonna be. Now we

790
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: can get real about them, because I can tell you

791
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: they probably won't drop in the JPE pole because we

792
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: had them properly rated. But they've still got to go

793
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:22,439
Speaker 1: to Wisconsin. They've still got Minnesota Hooms, by the way,

794
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 1: controls their own destiny in the Big ten. Florida Rosdale

795
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: is gonna be great this year. And you know that's

796
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: my favorite trophy game, Florida Rosdale, favorite trophy game. They've

797
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: also got to go to Nebraska. They'll be dogs in two,

798
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: if not all three of those games. So just keep

799
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 1: an eye on Iowa. It is a long season. Try

800
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: and tell you guys, the month of October feels like

801
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: it's about six weeks long. The month of November feels

802
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: like it's about thirteen weeks long. If you're in contention,

803
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 1: it takes so much gas to get to this point.

804
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: But so many teams have about half a tank to

805
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: three quarters of a tank of gas and they cannot

806
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,800
Speaker 1: make it through this stretch. And that's what I was

807
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: finding out right now. Michigan State made it yesterday though

808
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: Michigan State twenty, Indiana fifteen. Now I have mixed emotions

809
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: about this, as you know, i was on Indiana plus

810
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: four and a half. Naturally, they lose by five. But

811
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: the game played out exactly how we thought it would.

812
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: Michigan State shouldn't win this game. Here's why it's significant.

813
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 1: They did win the game. They pulled on Iowa out

814
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 1: of their back pocket. As a matter of fact, we

815
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 1: got the exact kind of game the model, got the

816
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: exact kind of game we expected. Michigan State got outplayed.

817
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: Listen to this. Indiana had ten more first downs, they

818
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,760
Speaker 1: had eighty one more yards, twenty six more plays run.

819
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: Michigan State sloppy, twelve penalties, one hundred and thirty four yards.

820
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: But Michigan State had thirteen defensive points in a twenty

821
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: point effort. And that's all it took because they played

822
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: good enough defense. And so this is a game that

823
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: the box score suggests and the postgame win percentage suggests

824
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: you should not have won, but you won it. You

825
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 1: gotta win one or two of these if you don't

826
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: have superstar athletes, you've got to win something where you

827
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,720
Speaker 1: play a C plus game, and it's got to involve

828
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. And so Michigan State got it

829
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: done well. Now they removed the last obstacle out of

830
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: the wave that was standing between them and hosting Michigan undefeated.

831
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: Now Michigan's got to play Northwestern this week. Crazier things

832
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 1: have happened. Michigan should handle Northwestern, and if they do,

833
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: we've got undefeated Michigan at undefeated Michigan State October thirtieth.

834
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're watching, but if you are,

835
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: I licked my lips twice. It's not just cause the

836
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: air is dry in here by humidifier. It's not just

837
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: cause the air is drying here. It's cause I may

838
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: be up there. Let's see Auburn bo Nicks. Should we clap?

839
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: They tell me not to do it in the microphone.

840
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: But thirty eight to twenty three, Auburn went to Arkansas.

841
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: They got to win. Arkansas's beat to death. They have

842
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: no legs under him. Having said that, Auburn hadn't had

843
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: a buy either, and they've played some tough games too,

844
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: so I thought this was an equal matchup. Auburn ended

845
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: up winning the thing thirty eight twenty three. I think

846
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: they scored late, very pressive drive to do so. Auburn

847
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: and Brian Harson. It's one of the quietest most under

848
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: the radar stories in America right now. There's something happening

849
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: at Auburn. It's not going to culminate in some great

850
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: playoff run this year, but they are a two loss

851
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 1: team right now. I would have to look at our

852
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: latest power ringers, which I haven't looked at. They may

853
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: be our highest rated two loss team maybe, but they're improving.

854
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: Anytime I do a radio hit and the host asks

855
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 1: about a year one coach, what are we looking for

856
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: this year? That's it. It's so basic improvement, incremental, week

857
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: over week improvement. This is a better team than the

858
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 1: one that went up to Penn State and lost about

859
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: a month ago. They're better, and now they're battle tested too.

860
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: They've already gone to Penn State, to LSU, to Arkansas,

861
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: they played Georgia, and now they got a bye week

862
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: and they get shot out of a cannon into their

863
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 1: bye week. Bow Knicks played maybe the best game we've

864
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 1: seen him play easily on the road. It was the

865
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 1: best we've seen him play. He had an eighty one

866
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: completion percentage yesterday and that is his best road completion

867
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: percentage ever. I don't think many people saw that coming

868
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: when he got benched a few weeks ago. But see,

869
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: that's the thing what needs to be talked about more

870
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:14,760
Speaker 1: with bon Nix, so I'll talk about it right now,

871
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: is he didn't fold. Some people are mental accordions, and

872
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: as soon as something doesn't go their way, especially at

873
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: a position like quarterback, they fold, they disappear. They're like

874
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: coach climb, they go get a hot pretzel hashtag waterboy.

875
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: Bo Nicks not only stayed ready when he came back in,

876
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: he leaned into it even more. He's gotten even more focused.

877
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 1: He's even better now than he was before he got

878
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: benched for TJ. Finley. And so congratulations to bo Nicks.

879
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: But also it's year one under Brian Harson. They are

880
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 1: not running the ball down people's throats like you may

881
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: think they are. They have a bad receiver room by

882
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: SEC standards, they've already fired the receiver's coach this year.

883
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: And yet when that happened, and you would expect all

884
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 1: that inner turmoil to fester into a bad on field product,

885
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: started winning. That's the hallmark of a good coach. I

886
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 1: don't know how it's going to pan out long term

887
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: for Brian Harrison at Auburn, but I'm telling you the

888
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 1: year one returns are very encouraging. This is the kind

889
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: of stuff you look for to validate that you hired

890
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: the right guy. So if I'm Alan Green, I could

891
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: not be happier with what I'm seeing right now. So

892
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: big win yesterday, big win for Auburn. Moving on to Oklahoma,

893
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 1: they beat TCU fifty two to thirty one. And some

894
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: validation here too of the way that we were thinking

895
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: post Texas. You cannot quantify what I'm about to say.

896
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 1: The stack crowd hates what I'm about to say, the

897
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: analytics crowd will not process what I'm about to say.

898
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: But I was a believer and still am that there

899
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,399
Speaker 1: was a switch that was flipped in the Texas game

900
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: for Oklahoma. Again, it is intangible in nature, it is

901
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: non quantifiable, there's no stat category for it. I just

902
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 1: believe those things happen, and I believe we are seeing

903
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: it with Oklahoma right now, and so this game was

904
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,439
Speaker 1: never in doubt. Yesterday they go and beat tc fifty

905
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: thirty one. Caleb Williams no room to question the decision here. Eventually,

906
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 1: better late than never from Lincoln Riley. He went eighteen

907
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: for twenty three two ninety five four touchdowns. This is

908
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: the starter for Oklahoma, and he will be the starter

909
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: for Oklahoma. And laughingly, some people thought that was still

910
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 1: up in the air for debate up in the kickoff yesterday,

911
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: but it wasn't the question about them them being Oklahoma.

912
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,399
Speaker 1: The question about Oklahoma is not quarterback anymore, questions about

913
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 1: secondary because they are badly banged up in the secondary.

914
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: They're missing a ton of guys. That's why people can

915
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: score on them right now. I'm not telling you it'll

916
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: cease to happen once they get those guys back, or

917
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: if they do, But right now, Oklahoma secondary is not

918
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: a championship caliber product by any stretch. Fortunately, who do

919
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: they play? They got they go to go to Kansas Saturday,

920
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: so that's like going to the playground, and then they

921
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 1: got Texas Tech. Then a bye week. Hopefully when they

922
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 1: come out on the other side of that bye week

923
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 1: there are a few more blanks filled back in, or

924
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: there are a few more of those crossed out names

925
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 1: uncrossed out in the second and Darry, what did I drop?

926
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: Hopefully nothing important, So Oklahoma wins and then on the

927
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: flip side of this whole Red River deal, I think

928
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: it's unfair scheduling. But it sounds like I'm complaining, so

929
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: I won't. You know, I'll talk about it for a second.

930
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: Texas lost thirty two to twenty four to Oklahoma State. Look,

931
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 1: I'm just not a fan of this. I'm not a

932
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: fan of having the biggest rivalry game in your conference

933
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 1: and then allowing a participant from that game to play

934
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: arrested team the following week. I know no one feel

935
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 1: sorry for either of these teams out in the Big twelve.

936
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: I know you guys don't, but I do just a

937
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: little bit, even if they have all the advantage in

938
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: the world over you. So I get it. I get

939
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: why you don't really care about me saying that. But

940
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,240
Speaker 1: it was another week, and it was another double digit

941
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:47,439
Speaker 1: lead wasted away for the University of Texas thirty two

942
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: to seven. I want to say, was the run Oklahoma

943
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: had to close last week's game. Oklahoma State closed this

944
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: game on a nineteen to nothing runs. Texas was up

945
00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: seventeen to three. Full disclosure, I stopped paying at time

946
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: a little bit when they were up seventeen to three,

947
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:06,240
Speaker 1: and then they threw a pick six, and then things

948
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 1: kind of changed. The whole tenor of the game kind

949
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 1: of changed. They had four straight three and outs in

950
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: the second half. It's the thing about Texas right now.

951
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 1: You saw it last week. It's like, you know, it's

952
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: like they have a sugar high out of the gate.

953
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: It's happened a couple of times, and then all of

954
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:23,240
Speaker 1: a sudden they get out there and all of a sudden,

955
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 1: the wins out of the sales. The sugar high has

956
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: worn off, and now it's just up to you and

957
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 1: they ain't got it. Defensively, they run out of gas. Offensively,

958
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what in the world happens, but they

959
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: lack consistency. They can't stay on that gas pedal for

960
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,919
Speaker 1: four quarters, or at least they haven't the last couple

961
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 1: of weeks. I know that this should be about Oklahoma State.

962
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: I get it. They're still undefeated. I don't know where

963
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: they're ranked today. Collins, my EP guy. I don't even

964
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 1: look at the AP, but I assume they're ranked high.

965
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 1: They should be. They're undefeated. They go to Iowa State Saturday.

966
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: Just to give you an idea of why we don't

967
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,240
Speaker 1: have them power rated high. They are nearly a touchdown

968
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: underdog Saturday against Too Los Iowa State. I have Iowa

969
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: State rated above them. I will have Iowa State this

970
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: week power rated above Oklahoma State. That doesn't mean anything.

971
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: As long as you win your games, it doesn't mean anything.

972
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,800
Speaker 1: It's just Oklahoma State's a good, solid team that happens

973
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: to be undefeated right now. I'm not hating on them.

974
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,919
Speaker 1: There is no there is no natural proclivity to hate

975
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: on a team from Stillwater, Oklahoma, when you grow up

976
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: in Harris County, Georgia. It's just not there. So I

977
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: don't have any animus. I keep looking in the inbox

978
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: and I keep seeing people ask me why I'm not

979
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: respecting Oklahoma State. I'm talking about them right now. It's

980
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 1: not about respect. People who complain about and demand respect

981
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: in life are some of the most hiresome people that

982
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: you will ever run across. Have you ever noticed think

983
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: about this. I'm not talking about Oklahoma State anymore, just

984
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 1: a general observation. Think about the most respected people that

985
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: you know, and when's the last time you heard them

986
00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 1: ask for respect? There's correlation there. Let's talk about a

987
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: couple of teams here individually, Alabama yesterday. Well, actually, Colin,

988
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 1: I want to intro it a different way here, we'll

989
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: intro it here. How about Bama and Georgia yesterday. We'll

990
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,720
Speaker 1: start with Alabama forty nine to nine. You wanted an answer,

991
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: I know I did. I wanted an answer after Bama

992
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 1: goes to how little sense does this make? By the way,

993
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,319
Speaker 1: now they go to College Station and they lose, And

994
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 1: for all of you transitive property types out there, I

995
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:27,399
Speaker 1: want you to make sense of this one for me.

996
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: So Mississippi State goes into College Station, they beat A

997
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: and m Bama goes in there and gets upset, and

998
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: then Bama goes and just wood chippers Mississippi State forty

999
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: nine to nine yesterday. Padlocks that time got a couple

1000
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 1: of them, actually, but here's really the only one you need.

1001
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,359
Speaker 1: If Alabama is ever twelve of sixteen on third down

1002
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: against you, you will lose the football game. If padlock

1003
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: stat number two, if you were minus three turnovers against Alabama,

1004
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 1: you will lose the football game. Both of these were

1005
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: the case for Mississippi State yesterday. This was about as

1006
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 1: emphatic an answer as we could have ever asked for him.

1007
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 1: There was a lot of talk around the BAMA program

1008
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: this week after they go to Texas A and m

1009
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: and they lose. Of course, Nick Saban is barely off

1010
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 1: the field yet before he starts talking about how are

1011
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: you gonna harness him? How are you gonna respond? They

1012
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: responded will Anderson, by the way, see he ran his

1013
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: mouth a lot this week in a good way. But

1014
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: the reason Will Anderson can run his mouth is because

1015
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: with an entire quarter of ball to play last night,

1016
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 1: Will Anderson had already harassed Will Rogers to the tune

1017
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 1: of four sacks and probably could have just kept going

1018
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 1: and going and going and going. There's a lot of

1019
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 1: energizer bunny vibe among other vibes with will Anderson, so

1020
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:43,319
Speaker 1: he had four sacks. Tray Shawn Holden was a name

1021
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: that popped up yesterday three times. I think seventy yards receiving.

1022
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: You need to keep an eye on him because we

1023
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: keep asking about that Bama Receiving Corps. Or we're gonna

1024
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 1: have a couple of more candidates emerged. John Metchi had

1025
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,359
Speaker 1: a good day yesterday. Jamison Williams is who he is.

1026
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: But Tray Shawn Holden's a guy not one of the

1027
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: names that maybe you expected. Betrayshn Holden. You've heard his

1028
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 1: name before. He's appeared. He's been sprinkled in the old

1029
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: Bama box score time or two. But he popped up yesterday.

1030
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: But Nick Saban, I'll tell you the most entertaining part

1031
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,800
Speaker 1: of this that you probably didn't see. They're up fourteen

1032
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: to three, and Saban went into Xbox mode. He went

1033
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 1: into let the fans call the game mode, as close

1034
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: as you'll ever see him go. Call everybody around Bama

1035
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: has been irate all week that they go full spread formation,

1036
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: throw the ball three times inside the five yard line,

1037
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 1: first and goal, and they don't get it done. Actually

1038
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: threw a pick last week with Brian Robinson ready, willing

1039
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 1: and able to carry the mail into the end zone

1040
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: in Evan Neil. It's like seven four or five hundred

1041
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 1: pounds over left tackle. And so yesterday I kid you not,

1042
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 1: you need to go back and watch it if you

1043
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: haven't already. There they are, and the situation, I think

1044
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: it was third and goal. They were on the one

1045
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 1: and they go empty backfield. And so Nick Saban, as

1046
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 1: he sometimes is not one to do, actually uses one

1047
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 1: of his timeouts. He has a whole collection of him

1048
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: in the locker room. Nick Saban loves to take timeouts

1049
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 1: in the locker room, and that will conclude my criticism

1050
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: of Nick Saban. Well Saban burns a time out and

1051
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: then he burned Bell O'Brien as well as the time out,

1052
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,399
Speaker 1: because when they came back out, I think they drove

1053
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: a couple of dump trucks out there and went as

1054
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: heavy as they possibly could, and they put Robby Oots

1055
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: over there at full back, and it was no mystery.

1056
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 1: In fact, they could have yelled the play across the

1057
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and Mississippi State could have done nothing

1058
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: to stop it. Because when you have a guy like

1059
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,400
Speaker 1: Evan Neil and you have a guy like Brian Robinson,

1060
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: there are simple laws of nature that you cannot counter

1061
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,879
Speaker 1: and if you run behind him, you will score. It's

1062
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:41,759
Speaker 1: really that basic. Sometimes it doesn't have to be coaches

1063
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: clinic chalk talk, all kinds of different motions and pre snapshifts.

1064
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 1: Sometimes you can just go full on Caveman on people,

1065
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: and Alabama did. Nick Saban was asked about it in

1066
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: postgame yesterday and he came as close to saying, yeah,

1067
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,399
Speaker 1: I basically dropped the elbow and Bill O'Brien and called

1068
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: my own offensive play. As you'll have or hear him

1069
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,720
Speaker 1: come and so that was Alabama's game. Georgia beat Kentucky

1070
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 1: thirty to thirteen. I got a padlock stat for you

1071
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 1: here too. If you are Kentucky and you amass a

1072
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 1: total of sixty four yards rushing against Georgia, you will

1073
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: lose the football game. And that's what happened yesterday. Padlock stat.

1074
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't really a stat at all, but I thought

1075
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 1: the biggest overlooked portion of this game and play in

1076
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:24,800
Speaker 1: this game was when the ball was on the ground

1077
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 1: and this was still a game at this point. Georgia

1078
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: put the ball on the ground and Kendall Milton, as

1079
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: everyone else is looking around wait for the next play

1080
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 1: to happen, realizes it's a fumble, or just realizes I

1081
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: better get on it in case it's a fumble. And

1082
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:39,280
Speaker 1: it was. It was a live ball, and he hops

1083
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: on that thing. Georgia retains possession, gets eight yards out

1084
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 1: of it. By the way, I think next play they

1085
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 1: score ball game for all intents and purposes, ballgame. You

1086
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 1: never know what that's worth. You never know. I can

1087
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 1: guarantee you, Kendall Milton, I don't know whatever they hand

1088
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 1: out there, a belt, a chalice, I don't know. I

1089
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 1: guarantee he's got his hands on it tonight, because that

1090
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:02,839
Speaker 1: was a big time playing that game. They Georgia has

1091
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: a notebook page full of guys out. Right now, I'm

1092
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: going to tell you what didn't go right for him yesterday,

1093
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: to put into context how impressive this win was. They

1094
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 1: got a whole notebook page full of guys out. They

1095
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 1: were not particularly great offensively or defensively on third down yesterday.

1096
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: They had some penalties and they won, and they won

1097
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,840
Speaker 1: even with Mark Stoops going full ram a noodle express

1098
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: play calling and decision making final men of the game,

1099
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: which I respect. I always think you should coach to cover,

1100
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: coach to cover winners when but champions cover and Mark

1101
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: Stoops covered yesterday. For everybody, these two teams right now,

1102
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: Georgia and Alabama are being talked about in a different

1103
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: way than they were a couple of weeks ago. A

1104
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, remember it was it's these two

1105
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 1: teams and then it's everybody else. Now a lot of

1106
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 1: people are saying it's Georgia and then it's everyone else. No,

1107
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 1: it's not. No, And there's not a wide gap between

1108
00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 1: these teams either. I know that for rankings purposes, you

1109
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 1: have to make it that way because one is undefeated

1110
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 1: and one is not. I get that. I don't have

1111
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:04,760
Speaker 1: a problem with that. I don't live in that world.

1112
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 1: I'm telling you there's no gap between these teams. There

1113
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,320
Speaker 1: wasn't before, and even with Bama losing, there's not now.

1114
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: There's probably according to us, like if I were to

1115
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 1: put a line on the game, you got Georgia by one,

1116
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 1: Georgia by two. This is under a field goal line.

1117
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:19,839
Speaker 1: Regardless of where you play it. Neutral side, of course,

1118
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 1: it's under a field goal line, and that's not going

1119
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,799
Speaker 1: to change unless you have Bryce Young out injured. There

1120
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: is no gap between these teams record notwithstanding, there's no

1121
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 1: gap between these teams right now. So you've got probably

1122
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:34,880
Speaker 1: a collision course that's setting itself up in Atlanta, Georgia

1123
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 1: in December. We don't have to talk about it every day.

1124
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 1: It'll come, no matter how impatient you are. Don't where

1125
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: it'll come. Looking forward to it, though, I have not

1126
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:46,799
Speaker 1: mentioned where the Renaissance Tour is headed tonight, and that's

1127
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 1: because I'm not ready to yet. There are some things

1128
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 1: in motion behind the scenes, and I've got to make

1129
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: sure we got our ducks in a row. So on Tuesday,

1130
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: or maybe before, but at the latest on Tuesday, I'll

1131
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,359
Speaker 1: let you know where the Renaissance tour is headed. Great

1132
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 1: time at Tennessee yesterday, great time. I took more pictures

1133
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: than I can ever remember take. I don't think I

1134
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 1: took that many pictures in elementary school. Took so many

1135
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 1: of them yesterday, and we got treated great. I mean

1136
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 1: got treated great at Tennessee, the entire administration there. Great

1137
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 1: to is yesterday best bet before we head out of here. Look,

1138
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:21,279
Speaker 1: I'm not happy yesterday. And when you lose bets, that's

1139
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: one thing. But when we do our post bet win expectancy,

1140
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:26,799
Speaker 1: and I look and know that we should have gone

1141
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 1: five and two. Like sometimes you win a bet and

1142
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to win it. This is how we

1143
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: do the post grading. Well, our post grading yesterday indicated

1144
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 1: we're five and two, but we ended up what were we?

1145
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: Three and four? Two and five? We had a bad

1146
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: sub five hundred day yesterday we had no business having.

1147
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 1: You can't forecast defensive points and turnovers. You can't forecast them.

1148
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 1: But man, like that Indiana game, that will that will

1149
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 1: send you because you nail the game and you still lose.

1150
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,320
Speaker 1: Rough Having said that, it's not like we're going to

1151
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: hit the brakes on this, but we will. We will surge.

1152
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 1: We'll have to surge here in the second half. We

1153
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: got one best bet to start off Week eight and

1154
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,839
Speaker 1: it is Notre Dame laying six and a half at

1155
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 1: home against Southern cal I gave some thought to heading

1156
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 1: to South Bend for the Renaissance Tour. I'm not gonna

1157
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:15,720
Speaker 1: do it, so there's one clue, but I will reveal

1158
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:17,839
Speaker 1: on Tuesday that where we're headed. But our first best

1159
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 1: bet of the week is USC at Notre Dame. We're

1160
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 1: gonna lay six and a half with the Irish and

1161
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 1: then hope the line doesn't drop to like four to

1162
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: what we're gonna hope. We like that number all the

1163
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,840
Speaker 1: way up to a touchdown though. Okay, I got to

1164
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: go watch the Braves because they need me right now.

1165
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 1: They're already down when we came on air, so they

1166
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 1: need me. Remember we've got a full week. Remember to
