1
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: I know if you're watching live, there are a lot

2
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: of headlines breaking today and as many of you who

3
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: watched the show or listen to the show frequently know,

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: dislike a Taylor Swift album. I drop Easter eggs all

5
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: in this show, and it's basically stuff I cannot outright

6
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: tell you, but I'm trying to trying to tell you.

7
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 1: And if you've picked up on some of the easter

8
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: eggs surrounding Chip Kelly on this show, it probably doesn't

9
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: shock you to know he reportedly interviewed for the Raiders

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: OC position as a five minutes ago, it looks like

11
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: he may interview for the Washington Commander's OC position. Chip

12
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: Kelly wants out of LA and so we've sprinkled that

13
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: throughout the show. I can promise you this, there will

14
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: be an intentionally worded phrase that I give you in

15
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: tonight's show that has to do with something along those

16
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: lines as well. There you go. Pay attention kids, Late

17
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: Kick Live. It is jam packed high top of tents

18
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: downtown Nashville, Tennessee, Ncuba, cloud looming over the collective state

19
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: that we reside in. Thursday, February first, the year of

20
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: our lawyer, twenty twenty four. How could we jam pack

21
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: a college football show in February. We'll watch us the

22
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: NCUBLEA man, Oh no, we'll lead with it tonight. We'll

23
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: talk about it. I got some ou in Texas in

24
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: the show tonight for very different reasons. I have got

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: coaches unhappy. Are they whining? Are they complaining a little

26
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: bit too much? Is it all valid? What do I

27
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: think about this? And are there some choruses being sung

28
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: out there collectively that are kind of tired already? Maybe

29
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: even some I've participated in. We will discuss LSU. They're

30
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: back in the show tonight. No further contexts need him. Also,

31
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: all these schools UCLA included, all these schools about to

32
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: join the Big Ten? Where do they fit? Like? What

33
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: row on the bus? Will Oregon occupy? In Washington and

34
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: USC and UCLA, We're going to talk about it all.

35
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: They're watching us in cant In, Ohio, Delanaga, Georgia, Golden

36
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: little place down there in Delanaga, Greenville, South Carolina, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

37
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: Thank you guys so much. A quick, a quick little

38
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: flare that I'm going to send up here. I'm talking

39
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: to sids, I'm talking to head coaches, directors of content

40
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: Hoomstevers listening to the show. The Pate State Speaker Series

41
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: will be back on the road this spring. I want

42
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: to go to several campuses CAMPI the plural of campuses.

43
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: I am looking for one on one sit downs with

44
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: head coaches and whoever else wants to talk in the program,

45
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: and we are looking to execute live shows from your campus,

46
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: preferably in your facility or around your facility somewhere. That's

47
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: the ask. Attending a practice that day as ideal, but

48
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: that's the ask. So we'll fill it up pretty quick.

49
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: We did it last year. We're going to do it

50
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: even more this year. So I'm giving your heads up

51
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: because we've got a lot of complaints last year. How

52
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: come you didn't hit us up. I'm giving you an opportunity.

53
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: Now hit us up. You know how to get into

54
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: with me and we will take all submissions. Okay, let's

55
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: dive into the show tonight. So the NC DOUBLEA kind

56
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: of poked Tennessee with a stick, and Tennessee pulled out

57
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: a sledgehammer. Man Tennessee had a pool and the NC

58
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: DOUBLEA had been diving into the shallow end the last

59
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: few times against them, and they had no clue, the

60
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: NC DOUBLEA that they dove into the deep end this time.

61
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: I cannot believe we're going to do this, but we're

62
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: going to do something in just a second that's normally

63
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: reserved strictly for the regular season. But first, before Colin

64
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: plays that track, just remember where we're at here. The

65
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: NC DOUBLEA didn't announce themselves the other day they were

66
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: investigating Tennessee. They used essentially a spokesperson or as you

67
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: might know them, national College Football writers to announce that, hey,

68
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: we're investigating Tennessee. Tennessee about fifteen minutes later issued a

69
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: scathing rebuttal, which the NC DOUBLEA collectively looked at and said, Oh,

70
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: they're not taking this like they took the pruit sanctions. Yeah,

71
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: well that's because those were valid, and according to Tennessee,

72
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: these are not. So. Dondie Plowman, the chancellor there, the

73
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: other day, you saw that, she came out and said

74
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: we're calling bs on this, and the NC DOUAA, you know,

75
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: like spilled wine all over the front of their shirts.

76
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: And then today we had Danny White, who's the athletic director.

77
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: He came out and look at how fancy and pretty

78
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: the graphic looks. We actually broke out the color printer

79
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: for this. We have an orange clad statement from Danny

80
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: White because Danny White looked around and said, oh, Donde

81
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: Plowman made her statement and Danny White said, hold my orange,

82
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: and he made his own statement. Colin. The Sarah McLaughlin

83
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: special of February is Danny White's response to the NC DOUBLEA.

84
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: Follow me kids. The NC double A in Danny White'shere's

85
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: generally doesn't come in on infractions cases because there's a

86
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: rule against it. However, that has not stopped them in

87
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: the past from leaking info to the media as they

88
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: did this week about us. This is where it gets

89
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: really good. Their actions made this ill conceived investigation public

90
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: and forced us to defend our It is clear the

91
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: NCAA staff does not understand what's happening at the campus level.

92
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: Truth bomb there, that's me talking. We contend you all

93
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: over the country in the NIL space either. After reviewing

94
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: thousands of Tennessee coach and personnel phone records, NCAA investigators

95
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: didn't find a single NIL violation, So they move the

96
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: goalpost to fit a predetermined outcome that doesn't sound like

97
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: the NCAA, we know. Continuing, they're stating that the nebulous,

98
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: contradictory NIL guidelines written by the NCAA, not the membership,

99
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: don't matter, and they're applying the old booster bylaws to collectives.

100
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: If that's the case, then one hundred percent of the

101
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: major programs in college athletics have significant violations. This is

102
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: obviously silly and not productive, as is blaming the membership

103
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: whenever they're challenged. We need to be spending our time

104
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: in energy on solutions to better organized college athletics. Blah

105
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. Okay, so basically what you're seeing

106
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: here is pretty unprecedented. It used to be when the

107
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: NCAA came after you. You've just been over and you had

108
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: to take it didn't even matter if you thought you

109
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: were innocent. It was like this monster behind the curtain.

110
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: Somewhere along the way, someone jerked the curtain down and

111
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: you found out, no, the shadow looked like a monster.

112
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: This is just a little baby dragon or less. And

113
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, boy, when you just when you

114
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: take away all the fog and the fancy lighting and

115
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: the CGI and you just look at what the NCAA

116
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: is absent. All that it's not very impressive is that

117
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: they don't have a leg to stand on in this case.

118
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: Now here's what I want to do. Okay. So I

119
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: know everyone's banging on the NC DOUBLEA right now, I

120
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: want to put my pen down for just a second.

121
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: And I do want to say I've heard from a

122
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: lot of you, and I've heard from some people in

123
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: the college administrative space, and they said, hey, you need

124
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: to be careful because yeah, everyone's banging on the NC DOUBLEA,

125
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: but a lot of them don't know what they're talking about.

126
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: That's true, Okay, So I think this is one of

127
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: those classic two things can be true at once deals

128
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: where there's mob mentality that's taken over. It's always been

129
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: popular to hate on the NC DOUBLEA, so there's always

130
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: this giant, very loud chorus of NCUBA haterade. But if

131
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: you turn everyone else's volume down real quick and just

132
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: listen to individual voices, it's a lot of nothingness coming

133
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: out of people's mouths. Like if I were to drill

134
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: down and just pull one of you out, who's screaming

135
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: death to the NC DOUBLEA, screw the NCUBA, I said, Hey,

136
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: what are your specific gripes, Well, they just suck okay,

137
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: but specifically what sucks about them? Well, they're just no

138
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: good for college athletics. Yeah, but what is it like?

139
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: There are there's a healthy chunk of people who are

140
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: yelling at the clouds right now about the NCAA who

141
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: could not give you specifics about what they dislike. But

142
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that the nc DOUBLEA hasn't become a corrupted,

143
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: kind of bygone organization that once upon a time served

144
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: a much different purpose than they do now. It's just

145
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: that maybe not everyone who feels that way can properly

146
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: articulate it. I can articulate how I feel about the

147
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: nc DOUBLEA. So if anyone wants to challenge me on it,

148
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: which two of my friends did yesterday, my response is,

149
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: I think the nc DOUBLEA wants you to be dumb

150
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: enough to open the book at chapter two. And chapter

151
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: two of the book looks like the NCUBA is enforcing

152
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: rules that everyone asked them to make, and it's very

153
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: much them having their hands tied behind their back because

154
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: woe is me. NC DOUBLEA investigators are out here saying, well,

155
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: you guys asked us to make these rules. Now we're

156
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: trying to enforce them, and you're painting us as the devil.

157
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: That sounds tough, doesn't it. In fact, if you didn't

158
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: know any better, you'd look and say, dare I say

159
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: the NCAA is the victim here? Well, you would if

160
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: you were dumb enough to start on chapter two of

161
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: the book. And they hope you are. We aren't, and

162
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: so on this program, we generally like to start in

163
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,359
Speaker 1: chapter one of the book. Chapter one doesn't start yesterday,

164
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: doesn't even start five years ago, when things were all

165
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: already pretty messy. We can go back twenty years, guys,

166
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: We can go back twenty years when some of the

167
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: same folks occupying the same offices in that same organization

168
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis called the NCAA had an opportunity to make

169
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: moves then. And you know how much they budged, not

170
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 1: an inch. And folks at the time, please don't try

171
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: and whitewash history. Some forward thinking people at the time.

172
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: I remember being a kid, I remember being in high

173
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: school and listening to this. We're saying, if you don't

174
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: give a little bit now, you're gonna have to pay

175
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: a lot down the road. You're gonna have to pay

176
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: a lot, and they didn't budge because they didn't think

177
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: they needed to. Okay, So that's chapter one, part one,

178
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: and then Chapter one, part two is come the mid

179
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: twenty teens to late twenty teens. They panic because they're

180
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 1: terrified and they're shook, and the lights all of a

181
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: sudden shone on them, and then they just boom boom,

182
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: boom boom, made a bunch of rules all of a sudden,

183
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: and then they kept change them. And you've got folks

184
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: in the administrative state within athletic departments and hold on,

185
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,119
Speaker 1: like what are the rules today? And also they overhauled

186
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: like portal and nil and like fifteen other things simultaneously.

187
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: And it's like blowing up a dam and then warning

188
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: the people in the town down here after you've already

189
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: blown up the damn Hey, water's coming, and then afterwards

190
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 1: the entire town swept away, and you're like, well, we

191
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: told them the water was coming, We gave them a warning. Really, well,

192
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: that's not exactly how the story should be told. So

193
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: that's chapter one of the book, which makes chapter two

194
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: fit in its proper context. Now, the other part that's

195
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: happening right now is you've got a chorus of people

196
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: who are very concerned about the future of college football

197
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: and college athletics. I'm one of them, at least as

198
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: far as it pertains to be concerned about the future

199
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: of the sport. You got some other folks, though, who

200
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: are concerned, and they're saying, oh, really, really, you want

201
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: to go hate on the NCAA. Everyone wants to paint

202
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 1: the nc DOUBLE the boogeyman. What are you going to

203
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: do when they're no longer around? Have you ever stopped

204
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: to think that maybe without them it'll be even more

205
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: wild wild West. I don't think there's a clear solution.

206
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: Have never suggested otherwise. Also, you haven't heard me on

207
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: this program or anywhere else say let's just get rid

208
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: of the NCAA tomorrow. Let's just abolish the entire organization.

209
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 1: What I've said is it is a very mismanaged organization

210
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: whose goals now are ill conceived and don't align with

211
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: their true mission statement. So I've thought a total overhaul

212
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: of procedure has been necessary there they haven't been motivated

213
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 1: to do it. I haven't felt the NCAA is out

214
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: for the best interest of either student athletes as they

215
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: call them, or college athletics in general for quite a while.

216
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: This happens in the bureaucratic state. Quite often. It's not

217
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: strictly relegated to just college athletics, but it's happening in

218
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: college athletics. But what do I think, Well, I don't

219
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: think you get rid of an enforcement branch of any

220
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: governing body and just put a period on the end

221
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: of the sentence. You've got to have rules, You've got

222
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: to have enforcement, You've got to have guardrails. I know that,

223
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: and I have told you for quite a while. If

224
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: this is a transitional period where I think you need

225
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: to head is from what you got now to a

226
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: world where conferences are tasked with policing themselves, which I

227
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: got a fair amount of pushback on the other day.

228
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: All conferences are never going to police themselves, Josh. Actually,

229
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: conferences are more equipped to police themselves than the NCAA is.

230
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: So let me tell you. Let me tell you what

231
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: the talk really is behind the scenes. The talk really

232
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: is most probably ninety five percent of coaches or player

233
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: personnel types, or even folks who can't go on the

234
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: road and recruit but work on the staffs, they say,

235
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: we'd actually love for this this or this to just

236
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: be outlawed and be heavily punish if it's found to

237
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: be done. But since it's not, we kind of have

238
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: to play ball on it. To give you a very

239
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: very small glimpse into much bigger conversations that are happening.

240
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: I've never thought the NCAA possesses the ability to police

241
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: that the conference is due though, and I'll also tell

242
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: you this being pretty vague about it, conference has already

243
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: policed themselves. You just don't see it. Greg Sanki has

244
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: a lot that is plopped in his lap on an

245
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: annual basis that never makes it to en Cuba headquarters

246
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: because it is SEC business and it's one SEC programmer

247
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 1: coach gripe against another SEC programmer coach, and it's handled internally.

248
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: That happens quite frequently. I think it could happen on

249
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: a much broader scale, and I think it could happen

250
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: in the Big ten and I think it could happen

251
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: in the ACC. So anyway, this whole Tennessee NCAA thing,

252
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be the death of

253
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: the nc DOUBLEA. I don't think the NCUAA is blowing

254
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: up tomorrow. Don't think that at all. I just think

255
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: there's going to be a radical overhaul of how we

256
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: define what the NC DOUABLEA does. And let me tell

257
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: you one other word that no one ever mentions, and

258
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: that's liability. Liability is a big reason the NC DOUBLEA exists.

259
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: Right now, if I'm playing football for Vanderbilt and I'm

260
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: getting hurt or certain things happen to me, or I'm

261
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: involved in certain things, and it gets litigious in nature

262
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: right now, that NC DOUBLEA logo sometimes is the one

263
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: that has to fit the bill for that sometimes is

264
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: the one that has to stand up in front and

265
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: take all the arrows. That's valuable. No one cares about it.

266
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: You're a fan, you don't care about that. But trust me,

267
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: trust me, people in that administrative state they do care

268
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: about that. People at the conference level, they do care

269
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: about that. The NCAA serves many more purposes than just

270
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: governance and regulation. It's just that's the stuff we care about.

271
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: So I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon. I

272
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: just think it could be drastically overhauled. All right, let's continue.

273
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: I spent fourteen minutes talking about that. Continue. I was

274
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: asking you guys a couple of weeks ago about what

275
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: you thought the biggest story of this year could be.

276
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: And you came with all sorts of different things, different

277
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: odds and ends, and I wanted to touch on one

278
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: of them. Here we got a jam pack show. By

279
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: the way, we're going all over the place. I am

280
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: monitoring a situation to my left right now, am I

281
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: right your left? Because could be news breaking even tonight.

282
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, let's take a look at what

283
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: this tweet said. All right, Colin, pop this up for me.

284
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: This is I'll read it and then I'll respond to it.

285
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: So Carl said his biggest story of twenty twenty four

286
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: is Texas will go undefeated first year in the SEC

287
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: and they'll win the first national championship of the twelve

288
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: team playoff era. That would be a really big story,

289
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: really big story. Of course, we would get the cant

290
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: crowd out there can't culture if you will, can't culture

291
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: is currently focused on sark in Texas because they can't

292
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: focus on Harbaugh and Michigan anymore. Used to be Harball

293
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: can't win a big win at Michigan, and then he did.

294
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: Turns out he could the whole time. He just hadn't

295
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: and now can't. Culture has gone to Austin, Texas and

296
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: Sark can't get it done. Sark can't win a title. Well,

297
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: of course he can, and he may very well do it.

298
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll do it this year. There are window teams

299
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: and there are main stay teams. Think about Washington last year.

300
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: Washington built over a couple of year stretch to a

301
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: period where they could take their shot. TCU two years

302
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: ago was a team that built over a multi year

303
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: period to take their shot. They almost won a title. Well,

304
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: TCU got to the title game. Washington got there and

305
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: was competitive. But in the end, the point is, those

306
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: are not programs that are mainstay programs. They're not the

307
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: reload over rebuild types. They do have to rebuild. Texas

308
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: doesn't have to. Texas has entered that rarefied air in

309
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: our where they can take their best shot. And if

310
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: they win a title, fine, If they lose to Washington

311
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: in the semi finals, fine, they'll have an excellent chance

312
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 1: to do it again the next year. So this could

313
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: be an evergreen prediction. Keep saying it, like predicting Saban's retirement.

314
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: Keep predicting it every year because eventually you'll get it right.

315
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: Keep predicting this because Texas is going to have a

316
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: shot every year. But I will say the prediction wasn't

317
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: just oh, Texas is going to win the title. They're

318
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: gonna go undefeated and win the title. Now that's one Ironically,

319
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: I have a tougher time getting on board with. You

320
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: could probably sell me on Texas winning the title quicker

321
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: than you could, Oh, they're going to go undefeated. This

322
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: whole concept of going undefeated has started to be taken

323
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: for granted because a lot of teams did it over

324
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: the past decade or so. We had multiple undefeated national champs.

325
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: And it's not easy to do. I don't care how

326
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: easy teams made it look. It's not easy to do,

327
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: and especially with either Big ten or SEC teams. The

328
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: increase in difficulty level of your random schedule any given year,

329
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: and then combine that with what you got to go

330
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: through in the playoff. Now, obviously the champ will be

331
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: undefeated in the playoff, but I'm a believer that what

332
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: it's going to take to make it through that playoff

333
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: actually could be paired up with putting yourself in the

334
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: best possible position to do by suffering a loss during

335
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: the season, and that's not always the case, but those

336
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: teams that lose and have no margin for air or

337
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: far less margin for air, we've seen Sometimes we've seen

338
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: them fall off a cliff, but other times we've seen

339
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: them really surge at the end of the year. Nobody

340
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: is mentioning something now that they used to mention all

341
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: the time. With Steve Sarkisian, I'm gonna put on some

342
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: lip bomb, like do you remember how about coconut and

343
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: pear berts Bees by the way, still not paying a

344
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: dime for advertisement, but I'm that in love with the

345
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: flavors they've got right now. You know what I haven't

346
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: heard lately. I haven't heard anything about Sark's time at Washington.

347
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: I haven't heard anything about sarks time at Southern cal

348
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: I haven't heard anything about his brief stint with the Falcons.

349
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: I haven't heard anything about his off the field issues.

350
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: And the reason I haven't heard those things is because

351
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: they're winning. In other words, they're doing things, and he's

352
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: doing things at Texas that I was told he can't do,

353
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: and I'm very happy about it because I have an

354
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,959
Speaker 1: age old theory on the show that what has been

355
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: doesn't always have to be what will be or what is.

356
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: I am a believer that sometimes the more talented and

357
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: the more driven amongst us tend to learn lessons from

358
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: doing it the wrong way or doing it the less

359
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: effective way, and they are the least motivated to ever

360
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: try and do it that way again if they get

361
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: other opportunities. Sark is very good. He is a rare

362
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: commodity as an offensive mind. Okay, so he's going to

363
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 1: get more opportunities than your average guy or girl would.

364
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: What's he done with him? He's made the most of it.

365
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: So that alone makes me happy. If it correlates with

366
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: them winning it all in twenty twenty four, so be it.

367
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: Championship is where Jesse Atlanta. I think they had such

368
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: a shot this past year. Think about how perfectly it

369
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: lined up for Texas. You got the semi final in

370
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: New Orleans against a team that's halfway to Alaska, and

371
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: then you've got the final in Houston. It didn't happen,

372
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: doesn't mean it can't happen. Hey, by the way, getting

373
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: a lot of love on the eye, Josh for the

374
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: coconut and pear Jesse email. Birtsbees email them. Yes, we've

375
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: got other partners here, but man, we're giving them some

376
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: run for free. Now. As for partners that actually do

377
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: truck with us, namely Academy Sports and Outdoors, it could

378
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: be my best interest to go in there and see

379
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: if they actually sell this stuff later tonight. But I digress.

380
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: I know what they do sell. They do sell a

381
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: lot of stuff that you need. So it was brought

382
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: to my attention today by one of you that the

383
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,479
Speaker 1: other like Tuesday forty eight hours ago, I sat right

384
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: here during this portion of the show and I said

385
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: Spring is coming. And I believe my words were you

386
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: know as well as I do. There's going to be

387
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: a nice sixty two degree day out of nowhere in

388
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: the not too distant future that reminds you spring is

389
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: on the way. And somebody somewhere today had a sixty

390
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: two degree day just happened upon them, and they took

391
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: a picture of the thermometer and their dashboard and they

392
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: posted it and reminded me, which is good because I

393
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: forget a lot of what I say. I talk a lot,

394
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 1: so I've learned to tune myself out. Kelly Kapor the office,

395
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: and so I told you guys, it happens every year.

396
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: I'm one hundred percent accurate in predicting when spring is

397
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: going to come. Always nail it, and no kids, coaches,

398
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: or officials can screw that one up. So Academy Sports

399
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: and Outdoors this is not their official tagline, but why not.

400
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: It's your spring headquarters. Go in there, be active this

401
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: year and if you already are more active. I personally

402
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: may find myself in the market for a bicycle. Said

403
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: I was going to do it last year, may actually

404
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: do it this year. And I don't want to hear

405
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: from the bike snobs. Okay, I'm not looking to win

406
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: the Tour de France, but I may look to win

407
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: the Tour de Germantown. And maybe I'll go to Academy

408
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: Sports and Outdoors to pick up that bite Academy dot

409
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: com if you can't get there in person. We thank

410
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: them so much for making the show free of charge

411
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: to you, the viewer and listener. Let's continue. So I

412
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: did want to touch on this in the show Immunity.

413
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: Jeff Haffley left Boston College last night. I know vast

414
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: majorities if you were not Boston College fans, but I'm

415
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: telling you this matters for you, but maybe maybe not

416
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: the reasons that you think. Okay, So, Jeff Hafley, there

417
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: was a headline late last night He's leaving for the

418
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator spot. Now I was pretty

419
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: lazy on this, I'll admit to you. I have talked

420
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: about us having a chronic problem in this sport of

421
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: good coaches looking to get out. And I do not

422
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: know Jeff Haffley, and I've never met him, and so

423
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: I blindly looked at the situation and said, that must

424
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: be what it is. He must have been looking to

425
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: get out, and it must be nothing more than that. Now,

426
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: some more informed people on the matter have since said, no,

427
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: maybe not in this case. That point was standing. This

428
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: particular case looks like a guy who just got a

429
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: better opportunity with more money and it was more attractive

430
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: to him, and maybe he wanted to get to the NFL,

431
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,719
Speaker 1: and maybe he wasn't on such solid ground at Boston

432
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: College anyway, Okay, I also think, for the second time

433
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: in the show, could be a two things or true situation.

434
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: Jeff Halfley may not have hit the exit door, contrary

435
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: to sourced reports out there, because he hates college football,

436
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: But some other guys may be looking to. So that

437
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: doesn't mean we don't have an issue in the sport.

438
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: It just means it may not have been the trigger

439
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: mechanism for Jeff Haffley leaving. But since a lot of

440
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: folks have been talking about this kind of like the

441
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: NCAA stuff, I did want to circle back to this.

442
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: You know, this is a drum We've been beating on

443
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: this show for a long time, and I'm going to

444
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: continue to beat the drum because I think it's valid.

445
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: But every time I talk about the plight of the

446
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: college football coach right now, most of you agree with it,

447
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: and if you don't, like sympathize with it, at least

448
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: you get it. But there is a healthy amount of

449
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: you who say I cannot feel sorry for people who

450
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: make millions of dollars, even though most of them don't.

451
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: By the way, we're not just talking about head coaches here, guys,

452
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: But you say I can't feel sorry for guys who

453
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: make a ton of money. I can't feel sorry for

454
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 1: guys who coach a game for a living while I

455
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: do this or that for a living. And I get

456
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: the sentiment. I get that, but there is also a

457
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: course a lot of you seeing and you say they're

458
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 1: just whining. You're gonna have to work hard if you're

459
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: a coach in college football. That's what I've had some

460
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 1: of you say to me. Now, I want to say,

461
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: because I've referenced this a lot on the show tonight,

462
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: I respect all of your opinion. I don't have to

463
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: agree with them. You don't. None of you agree all

464
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: the time with me. That's fine. This particular one, though,

465
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: I think, is really misguided because I talked to a

466
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: lot of coaches about this. None of them are afraid

467
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: of hard work. If they were, that'd be a totally

468
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: different thing. And I would not mislead you on that, because,

469
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,239
Speaker 1: trust me, there are some of them out there who

470
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 1: are probably more cut out for life in another line

471
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: of business. But in this particular case, I'm talking about

472
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: guys who grind and would work twenty five hours in

473
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: a day if you'd give it to them. It's not

474
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: the work that they're afraid of. It's the fact that

475
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: they kind of don't recognize the game anymore. And change

476
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: is not always progress, and that's the case in college

477
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: football right now. You want to know the thing that

478
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: coaches complain about the most they don't coach. They don't coach.

479
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 1: The least amount of the little pie chart of their

480
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 1: time spent in a given year is coaching football. You're

481
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: a defensive line coach, what would I think you do?

482
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: I think you coach defensive lie. I think you spend

483
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: vast majorities of your time evaluating the position. I think

484
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: you spend time honing your player's crass. That's a fantasy world.

485
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,719
Speaker 1: That's what the game used to be. Now it's let

486
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: me make sure I'm re recruiting my team. Let me

487
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: make sure I'm up to date on the nil game

488
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 1: and familiarizing myself with that. Of course, you've got your

489
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: standard recruiting that you've always got to do, but there

490
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: are like five or six different buckets that have been

491
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: dumped into your time allocation that you've got to fill

492
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: with portions of your time. They don't get to coach anymore.

493
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: The last thing some of these guys do is coach

494
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: their guys, and they're tired of it, and I would

495
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: be too. So the answer in your mind could either

496
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: be well, tough, move along, we'll fill your spot. Yeah,

497
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: there's no shortage of guys who want to coach football.

498
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 1: Are there enough of them who are qualified that you'd

499
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: be happy with at your program. The answer is no.

500
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: Whether you think so or not, the answer is no.

501
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: You could be that way or be you could say, hey,

502
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be the case. Let me tell you something.

503
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: It may sound a little doom and gloomish when I

504
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: talk like this. Guys, we got the best sport in

505
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: the world. We've got the Lamborghini. It's just covered in

506
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: graffiti right now. We're not taking it to the scrapyard.

507
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: It would be one thing if we had a sport

508
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: that sucked and we were trying to dress it up

509
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: with gimmicks to try and draw you in and trick

510
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: you into watching. That's not college football's problem. College football

511
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: is the greatest sport on the face of the earth.

512
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: It's just covered in crap. It's like a flower in

513
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 1: a landfill right now. Don't kill the flower, clean up

514
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: the landfill. That's all people like me are trying to say.

515
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: And if part of that is overhauling or fixing the

516
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: college football calendar or fixing the structure of the sport,

517
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's easy. I'm saying do it anyway.

518
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: It's difficult. Do it anyway, it's JFK talking about going

519
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 1: to the moon. We don't choose to do it because

520
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: it's easy. We choose to do it because it's hard.

521
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna give the speech, and my jfkmpression sucks.

522
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, this is the greatest sport in the world.

523
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: You've been With all of the garbage going on around it,

524
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: it still must see. I just want it to be

525
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: at its best. I never take for granted that this

526
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: thing will be here forever. And I don't know about you. Well,

527
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: I do know about you. Most of you don't make

528
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: a living doing this. I'd love to keep making a

529
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: living doing this. It's really fun. You just have to

530
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: sit behind a mic and a white T shirt a

531
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: few days out of the week and talk about what

532
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: I would be talking about for free. Anyway. I know

533
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 1: because I used to work jobs where this is all

534
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: we talked about all day. So yeah, that's how I

535
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: feel about that. Let us move on. We have yet

536
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: another not a bold prediction, per se, although I guess

537
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: this kind of is a bold prediction. I have some

538
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: things to say about it, though. I'm gonna take a

539
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: sip from the chalice. First. One of the night and

540
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: thank you guys for watching. Subscribe, Subscribe, subscribe, That's what

541
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: I need you to do. Subscribe to the pod, Subscribe

542
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: to the EU YouTube channel. All right, Colin, do we

543
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: have a tweet for Ryan Day? Yeah? We do, all right,

544
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: So it's going to be a long year. It's going

545
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,719
Speaker 1: to be a long, long year with this. We had

546
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: someone hit us up and say they think the biggest

547
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: story of twenty twenty four is Ryan Day is let

548
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: go after spending record levels of money on nil. I

549
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: guess is what they're talking about. Let's just drill down

550
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: on this because you're not alone. Whopstever you are, You

551
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: not alone. A lot of people think this is going

552
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: to happen. It's become the most common refrain that I've

553
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: heard from the hater crowd in early portions of January

554
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: and February, and that is, uh, oh, Ryan Day had

555
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: the audacity to go try and make his roster better.

556
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: He's screwed. Now, in no other world does that make sense.

557
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: But this is college football, so you're trying to rationalize

558
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: the irrational already. What they mean is the guys lost

559
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: three years in the road to Michigan, right right, and

560
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: he had won the Big Cha Big Ten Championship three

561
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: years in o right right, and he won a national title,

562
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: right right. Okay, So if if he's already not getting

563
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: it done now, he's loading up on all this talent

564
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: and they're going all in pushing the Chips to the

565
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: middle of the table. Harball their chief rival. They lost

566
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: his head coach. He's gotta win a title this year

567
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: or he's done. Well, no he's not. But I want

568
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: to ask you, if you do believe that, tell me

569
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: exactly how it happens. What is the record in this scenario?

570
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: Is it if you lose a game, you're fired? Is

571
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: it the scene and remember the Titans. Is it Herman

572
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: Boone out there throwing up before the first game of

573
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: the year because it's lose a game, they'll fire you.

574
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: Is that what the case is? I don't think so.

575
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: Some of you do. If it's the Michigan game he loses,

576
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: some of you think that's it. He's fired. Ohio State

577
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: is the envy of ninety eight percent of this sport.

578
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: Do you understand that? And that includes with your head coach,

579
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: who I still think is one of the best in

580
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: the game. But you are the envy of like ninety

581
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: eight percent of the sport and instead of realizing that

582
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: some folks who are saying, no, it's worth risking at

583
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: all to chase that top two percent, not realizing that,

584
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: by the way, he is the one who could get

585
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: you there. He had you there last year. The field

586
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: goal that is not against Georgia. The difference in one

587
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: kick off of one foot is the difference in you

588
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: going in body bagging TCU and Ryan Day being called

589
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: National Championship winning head coach Ryan Day. And none of

590
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: this foolishness would be said, but it is. And I

591
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: understand and appreciate the passion in this sport. I understand that,

592
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: in a roundabout way, that's what makes our sport great.

593
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: That sometimes it's irrational and that creates this unbalanced, sometimes

594
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: unhinged passion and rabbit excitement for games and for teams

595
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: and for coaches, and I love it and I appreciate it,

596
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: but I don't always have to agree with it. And

597
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: I don't agree with this. I think Ryan Day is

598
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: a stud think who he is as a head coach

599
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: is still evolving. I think what a Ryan Day team

600
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: is is still evolving. I think what an Ohio State

601
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: program is under Ryan Day is still evolving. You didn't

602
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: see him go heavy in nil once upon a time.

603
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,239
Speaker 1: Now they are. You used to see him win by

604
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: scoring firework offense style. They won defensively several times last year.

605
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: This will be the best defense they fielded under Ryan Day.

606
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: They could be a defensive oriented team again this year. Well,

607
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: that's not what a Ryan Day team was a few

608
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: years ago. Things change. He's a young head coach still,

609
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,959
Speaker 1: He's not fifty five years old. He's still young. He's

610
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: still evolving. In twenty thirty, if he's still there, I

611
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: guarantee you one thing. I don't know what it'll be,

612
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: but I guarantee you you'll look at him in twenty

613
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: thirty and say, remember when he was filling the blank

614
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: in twenty one or twenty two. Wow, what a far

615
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: cry we are from that. You know how? I know

616
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: that's likely because we said it about Nick Saban, and

617
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: he was the best of all time. We said it

618
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: about Saban, and his program never fell from being either

619
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: one or one A at any given point in his

620
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: run after the first couple of years, and he redefined everything.

621
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: He reinvented everything about his program. So I never think

622
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: that you have these guys nailed down, because the best

623
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: ones are impossible to nail down because the hallmark of

624
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: the best is they evolve. But I don't mean they're

625
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: not good. I think Ryan Day's really good. So it's

626
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: it's hard to win championships, is my point. Anybody who

627
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: goes into a season short of Nolansville Little League down here,

628
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: or as I like to call him, Nolansville IMG, a

629
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: little league team who fired their head coach recently, because

630
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: I'll let you go read the article because it's little

631
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: league baseball. But short of that, I do not ever

632
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: buy into the concept. Then, in a sport as competitive

633
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: as college football, you enter into a season saying national

634
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: championship or you're fired. That's insanity. That is totally insane.

635
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Bradenton, Florida, Jefferson, Georgia, and San Jose, California.

636
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: Thank you guys so much. Now, speaking of that conference, Colin,

637
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,239
Speaker 1: that's not a good end point, so start it here.

638
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: The Big ten's expanding, man, they're adding four teams this year.

639
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: And we were sitting around the office earlier today thinking,

640
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: wait a second, they don't all just start at the

641
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: bottom and have to work their way up. So if

642
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: we set the current hierarchy in program terms of the

643
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: Big Ten, where do these new teams fit in. Are

644
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 1: they in Tier one? Are they in Tier four? Is

645
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: there a Tier five in the Big Ten? Oregon I

646
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: think it's the best program that's entering the Big Ten.

647
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: They're in the most powerful position. I think they're at

648
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: or near the top of the conference. I think program wise,

649
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: you got a couple of them that have dominated for

650
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: a while, Ohio State Michigan. I think if you were

651
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: to go twenty twenty four moving forward, you can make

652
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: the argument Ohio State's program may be in a little

653
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: bit better spot than Michigan. Right now, we don't know

654
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: what Sharon Moore's Michigan's going to be, So let's just

655
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: say you got a couple of them in Tier one.

656
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: Oregon's not taking the back seat to these teams. Guys,

657
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: is a Tier one team in the Big Ten. As

658
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,439
Speaker 1: they enter this conference, the program is humming. They're coming

659
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: off back to back top ten classes. This upcoming class

660
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: will be the best I think they've ever signed there.

661
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: They are also leaning very heavily into that transfer portal

662
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: we're talking about Ohio state and how effective they've been.

663
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: Oregon's right there with them. And Oregon's another one of

664
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: those teams where I love to mention the cant culture,

665
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: not to be confused with cancel culture. Can't culture is

666
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: that kind of culture that if I say something on

667
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: this show like Oregon could win the National Championship this year,

668
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a healthy amount in the can't culture

669
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: society come at me and say, Dan Lanny can't win

670
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: a title. Dan Lanny can't even win a playoff game.

671
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: Dan Lanny can't even make it. He hasn't made it.

672
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: That's what I was talking about the other night, by

673
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: the way, not your program. Your current head coach hasn't

674
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: won a playoff game, which I thought was pretty clear,

675
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: but apparently it wasn't. Yes he can, he just hasn't.

676
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: Yes they can, they just haven't. And so this coming

677
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: year hear it about Oregon no matter how hot they start,

678
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you, they're gonna start hot because they

679
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: got a very workable schedule. They are going to be

680
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: on a roll, and you're gonna have part of the

681
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: country that's impressed with them, and you're gonna have another

682
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: part of the country that says, Oh, they'll blow it

683
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. They'll blow it in the in the

684
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: Big Ten championship game if they get there, or if

685
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: Ohio State beats on October twelfth, then Eugene, which I

686
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: would imagine as a game will be at If I

687
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: have to look into October, people will say, can't win

688
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: the Big One, Dan Lanny can't win the Big One. Well, alrighty,

689
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: I think his program is about as good as you'll

690
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 1: find in the Big Ten in year one in the

691
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: Big Ten, I have a lot of confidence and how

692
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: they'll fit in. Now. Someone I have just a little

693
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: bit less confidence in right now is the USC and

694
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley. Where will USC fit in the Big ten

695
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: pecking order? I think they're like a Tier three program

696
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: when they walk in there. Now. Granted, I'm talking about

697
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: maybe if you got Oregon, Ohio State tier one, if

698
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: you called Michigan tier two, Penn State Tier two, however

699
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: you want to divide that up. It doesn't mean there's

700
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: a ton of teams ahead of him, a ton of

701
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: programs ahead of them, but us he's not on those levels. Us.

702
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: He's not on the level of Penn State right now,

703
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: they're not on the level of Ohio State. They're not

704
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: on level of Oregon. They're not on the level of Michigan.

705
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: As a program. I mean, I got concerns about him.

706
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: I got concerns because I don't know if this is

707
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 1: gonna work. Lincoln Riley, to his credit, he made big

708
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: moves on his defensive staff, and he brought in D'Anton Lynn,

709
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: who was the DC down at UCLA new linebacker coach,

710
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: new DB's coach. But more importantly, he vocalized in new

711
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: philosophy wonderful. I told you at the time, I loved

712
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: everything he said. I don't know if it's gonna work.

713
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if I believe that Ryan Day can

714
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: reinvent his program. Like I said a few minutes ago,

715
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: I gotta believe that Lincoln Riley can. I got to

716
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: at least give him a shot. But it's tough to

717
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: learn on the fly in a conference like the Big Ten.

718
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: It's tough to try and find yourself physically. In the

719
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: Big Ten. That's the kind of conference that finds you

720
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: and exposes you physically. And I'm not just talking about

721
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: the Big Boys. I mean, you got a random Saturday

722
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: where Purdue could make you look foolish. Wisconsin make you

723
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: look foolish if you're not up to par physically on

724
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: the lines of scrimmage. There's no limit to how embarrassed

725
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 1: you could be on a given Saturday in the Big Ten.

726
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: So look selfishly. I hope it's changing for the better.

727
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 1: And here's what's weird about Lincoln Riley and USC. It's

728
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: very rare to say a guy entering year three deserves

729
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: a lot of patients. And you can decide how you

730
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 1: want to decipher this or how you want to view this.

731
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: I am looking at Lincoln Riley this year as being

732
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: in year one at USC, because I think that for

733
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: better or for worse, what USC is moving forward based

734
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: on the changes he's trying to make, will be like

735
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: a year one PRO It's different. I mean they are

736
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,399
Speaker 1: admitting we're gonna do things differently, We're gonna have things

737
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: done a lot differently, We're gonna think a lot differently.

738
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: And he's three years in. But I think they've realized

739
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: the way we used to do it, the way we

740
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: tried to do it the first two years, that will

741
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: not work in the Big Ten, and so we may

742
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: fail doing it the new way. But we were definitely

743
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: gonna fail doing it that way. So you may see

744
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:29,439
Speaker 1: a lot of year one struggle about that program this year,

745
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: even though it's in year three under current leadership. Doesn't

746
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: mean it couldn't work, just means I'd be surprised if

747
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: it worked big time for him this year. Washington, same thing,

748
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: Man Tier three. I think it's terrible timing for them

749
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 1: to be joining a new conference. The programs committed though.

750
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: That's very, very important because we haven't always said that

751
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: about Washington Athletics up there to this degree. They offered

752
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: Deboor a huge sum of money to stay, and when

753
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: he was up there, I was listening to him with

754
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: Adam Brenhaman the other day Brendan went up there. He

755
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: was ahead of the curve on this man had a

756
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: full sit down with Debor and Kaylin. De Bor was

757
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 1: talking about how many yeses he was getting at Washington

758
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: and how all in that administration was president on down.

759
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: And that doesn't change. Jed Fish is in there. He's

760
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: going to enjoy that now. That doesn't change. But it's

761
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: a tough time to be transitioning because of what just

762
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 1: happened to the program. You're not losing, no one's losing

763
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 1: twenty of twenty two starters off a championship team and

764
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: just rolling merrily along. I mean, talent factories like Georgia

765
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 1: wouldn't roll merely along. They've got to be smart too

766
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: regarding talent. They got to be smart with the way

767
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: they try and recruit. Washington cannot recruit like Oregon does,

768
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: two totally different entities, So they've got to be a

769
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: much smarter program with the way they approach talent acquisition.

770
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: UCLA probably close to the bottom of the barrel right

771
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,359
Speaker 1: now as we came on the air. There have been

772
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: multiple headlines just today about Chip Kelly looking to get

773
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: out of there, trying to get NFL offensive coordinator jobs.

774
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 1: It felt like twenty twenty three was the show me

775
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: year under them. To me, I thought they were a

776
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: dark horse to make the conference title game. They started fast,

777
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: they went eight and five. Was not a terrible year.

778
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: They had a good defense. It just they kind of

779
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: faltered down the stretch. Quarterback health was a concern. They

780
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 1: aren't getting players like you need to get to compete

781
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten. And it doesn't feel like there's

782
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: a lot of continuity. It doesn't feel like there's a

783
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: lot of there's a lot of synergy within the program

784
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: and within the booster culture, the administrative culture, and you

785
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: cannot stumble into the Big ten. You can't. It's not

786
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: going to work that way. So I feel like, man,

787
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: however many tiers there are in the Big ten, you

788
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 1: got to put UCLA probably down there towards tier four

789
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: right now, I just hope for the best. Let's move on,

790
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: hate to say it, say it that way, Let's go

791
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: with this one. I got a DM earlier and it

792
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: was not a hateful DM, but it was a sharp one,

793
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,439
Speaker 1: and it was someone saying, you know, you don't talk

794
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 1: about LSU enough. I thought to myself, he's right, He's

795
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: absolutely right. And for those who know this show all

796
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 1: the way back to its humble beginnings in Columbus, Georgia,

797
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: that twenty nineteen season was magical for LSU, Joe burrow

798
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: Edo and the boys. But it was magical for us too,

799
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: because we were heavy on LSU in the summer when

800
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: everyone else was tout in Alabama, we were picking LSU

801
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: and then we made ourselves look like geniuses and we

802
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: kind of rode the wave with LSU. Next thing, you know,

803
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,280
Speaker 1: we wind up here. So we owe it to LSU,

804
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 1: we owe it to our people down there in the boot.

805
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 1: So Jeff hit us up from New Orleans. He said,

806
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 1: what do you expect from Brian Kelly and LSU next year?

807
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: I love this question because one of my current hottest

808
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: takes is had LSU been a top thirty five defense

809
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: this past year, they would have won the national title.

810
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: I told you it's pretty hot take, but I do

811
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: believe it. I very much believe it. They had three losses,

812
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: they gave up forty or more in all those losses.

813
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: Who was it Jesse, it was Bama, it was Ole Miss,

814
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 1: and it was FSU at the beginning of the year.

815
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:27,280
Speaker 1: Total helplessness defensively, like men versus boys. And I gotta

816
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: be honest with you, I don't know that they've got

817
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: the personnel this year defensively to make it look any better.

818
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: But I think it will look better because I think LSU,

819
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: and I want to be specific on that, LSU just

820
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 1: made some really sizable defensive moves. I told you the

821
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: other night, I thought Kevin Peoples, even with Bo Davis

822
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 1: coming in, and even with Blake Baker coming in as

823
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 1: the DC big names, I thought Kevin Peoples may be

824
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 1: the most effective pound for pound defensive coach that they've

825
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: brought in. I think extremely high of him. All our

826
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 1: numbers back it up. Kevin Peeple's rising star. But forget

827
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 1: that because all those guys are big time upgrades over

828
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 1: what they've had. This isn't choir practice. Okay. So when

829
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: I say they made moves, that doesn't mean everybody in

830
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: the building looks and says, all right, we're all on board. Yeah,

831
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 1: we're all on board a new player personnel moves. Are

832
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: we all on board? Sometimes people aren't on board? But

833
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: you know what, everybody has butting of heads inside their

834
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: athletic department. The teams that lose have it, the teams

835
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 1: that win have it. As long as everyone has the

836
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 1: same end goal in mind, disagreement's not the worst thing

837
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: in the world. Okay, So you tout one guy, I

838
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: tout the other guy. We go hire who we hire.

839
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 1: But once they're in here, they're in the fox hole

840
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: with us. And as long as they're all fighting and

841
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: they're all pushing in the same direction, we're good. We

842
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: don't have to be best friends, but we can be good.

843
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 1: I think a little of that's going on at LSU,

844
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: and yet I still think they'll be okay at the

845
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: end of the day. Now, they got the six best

846
00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: odds to win the College Football Playoff this upcoming year,

847
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: and that's being in the SEC. I mean, if they

848
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: were in another conference, they may have higher odds because

849
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: they'd be more favor to win the conference. They have

850
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 1: the fourth best odds to win the SEC and the

851
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 1: sixth best odds to win the whole thing this upcoming year.

852
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: They are a top ten recruiter since Brian Kelly's been there.

853
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: They are portaling very well over the last three classes.

854
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: I don't know that the caliber of defensive personnel this

855
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: year will be at the level they need it to

856
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 1: be to compete for a national title. But you know what,

857
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: this time last year, we were looking and granted we

858
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: circled the DBS as it did everyone as a potential

859
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: red flag. Brian Kelly came on this show and said, yeah,

860
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,720
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to call that a red flag.

861
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 1: Just brutal honesty from the head coach at LSU. And

862
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 1: you know what, he was honest and he was right

863
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: because it hurting him all year. You still got the

864
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 1: post spring portal window, like let's see what they do.

865
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,879
Speaker 1: But I think these defensive moves they made will will

866
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: at least have a different effort, a different caliber of

867
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: LSU defense on the field. Now, is it gonna be

868
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 1: a top ten unit? No, probably not, But they got

869
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 1: some really good players there. And you know what I

870
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: always think of anytime my mind is going that direction,

871
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: I think about just go back any given year, like

872
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: go back last year. Look at the top twenty five

873
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: defenses in the country. There are gonna be several teams

874
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 1: in that top twenty five. You look at and say,

875
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: that team right there doesn't have nearly the personnel LSU

876
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: does That team right there doesn't have nearly the personnel LSU.

877
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: So my point is, it is possible. It is possible

878
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: to scale performance using the same ingredients that made a

879
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 1: meal last year that you didn't like to taste of

880
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 1: at all. You get the right teachers, get the right

881
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: coaches in the room, and they took gigantic leaps towards

882
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 1: doing that. I just showed you those odds because we

883
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: are partners with FanDuel and we get access to those.

884
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: FanDuel is the exclusive odds provider of Late Kick. I

885
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:58,839
Speaker 1: got an itch on the end of my nose. It's

886
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 1: really aggravating, and live production means that I just have

887
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 1: to scratch it on air. FanDuel has nothing to do

888
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: with that. In fact, the odds were probably overwhelming that

889
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: I didn't scratch my nose on air live tonight. But

890
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: if you were live betting this on FanDuel and you

891
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: hit yes a couple of minutes ago, you just made

892
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 1: yourself some money. So they've already got the odds out

893
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: for the national Championship this upcoming year. You just saw

894
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: they had the odds for the SEC Championship this upcoming year.

895
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: Now here's what can get fun. We haven't gotten a

896
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: spring practice, yep. So if you're paying attention every day

897
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: in spring practice, if you've got your ear to the

898
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 1: ground over on go twenty four to seven dot com,

899
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:36,240
Speaker 1: and you're reading the practice reports, and you have circled

900
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: in your mind two huge question marks that you think

901
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: will be the difference and whether LSU goes eight and

902
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: four versus whether they win the title, and you start

903
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 1: liking what you're hearing, you can get a jump in

904
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: the odds market. Call I can promise you ninety eight

905
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: percent of the college football betting public is not paying

906
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 1: attention in spring, but if you are, you can get

907
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 1: yourself in a really good position. And even if you

908
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 1: want to buy some of that back later in the fall,

909
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 1: you can do it. FanDuel is the place you bet

Speaker 1: Sacramento State basketball game, Elon, Big SoCon Guy NC Wilmington

941
00:49:55,680 --> 00:50:00,320
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Go find the Alabama baseball betting

942
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:04,240
Speaker 1: story and the details that came out with that today.

943
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 1: If I were making a Netflix special about this, it

944
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 1: wouldn't pass. We had Matthew McConaughey on this show three

945
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 1: years ago and I flat out told him you did

946
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 1: a movie with al Pacino once upon a Time called

947
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 1: Two for the Money. I told him, gambling has now

948
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 1: been legalized. Sports betting is legalized. You guys, you just

949
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: you did, true Detective. I loved it. Go Grab, Go

950
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: Grab Acino, Go Go. Has he still alive? I think

951
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 1: he is. Go grab whoever. You can make Two for

952
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 1: the Money an entire series, and thus far he has

953
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 1: not taken me up on that. But if you did that,

954
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: and you made an episode where a college baseball coach

955
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 1: knew that his starting pitcher was going to be out

956
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: for tonight, so he texted a buddy, Hey, bet the

957
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: other team before I have to announce this. And then

958
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:53,399
Speaker 1: the buddy went to a betting window at a Major

959
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 1: League baseball game because they have those now in some stadiums,

960
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: and said, I want to get thousands, hundreds of thousands

961
00:50:59,960 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 1: of dollars down on this game. And they said, sir,

962
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 1: we'll let you bet fifteen thousand. What is it you

963
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,360
Speaker 1: want to bet on I want to bet LSU baseball tonight.

964
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 1: What yeah, LSU Baseball quote if you only knew what

965
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 1: I knew? And then I show the guy at the

966
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 1: window the text message. If I submitted that for a script,

967
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: they would shoot it down and they would say that's

968
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 1: too stupid to be believable. All that really happened. If

969
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 1: you don't believe me, go read it. It's out. It's

970
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,319
Speaker 1: all over the play stake. Go read it. Cannot believe

971
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:32,320
Speaker 1: that's real? All right? Last thing that I wanted to

972
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: hit on the show tonight has to do with our

973
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: fine friends in the state of Oklahoma. Don from Oklahoma

974
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 1: City said, is Brent Venables being undervalued? He's recruiting better

975
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: than Lincoln Riley, he has stabilized the program after the

976
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: six and seven disaster, He's got all his best players

977
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: on defense returning next year, and Jackson Arnold's upside is limitless. Well, Don,

978
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 1: I think there is a limit on Jackson Arnold's upside,

979
00:51:56,800 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: but the upside is immense. But you know what, he

980
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 1: may be right on this. So first off, I need

981
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 1: you to tell me what is the value? What is

982
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 1: the defined value? If he's undervalued, what is the value

983
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 1: and the best I can tell, people may still be

984
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: sleeping on Brenton Venables. So it's a whole new year.

985
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 1: This year they go into the sec Let's test the theory.

986
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:21,319
Speaker 1: Don said he's recruiting better than Lincoln Riley? Is he? Yes,

987
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 1: he is, so check mark number one. They recruited in

988
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,879
Speaker 1: like the ten to fifteen range on average under Lincoln Riley.

989
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 1: They're now in the five to ten range annually under

990
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 1: Briton Venables and they've got top portal classes each of

991
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 1: the past two cycles. So yes, they're acquiring talent at

992
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 1: a better clip. Did he stabilize the program? Absolutely massive?

993
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,879
Speaker 1: Check mark Yes there. I mean they went they went

994
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:47,919
Speaker 1: what six and seven was it in the first year,

995
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 1: and they went ten and three this past year. They

996
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 1: got blanked forty nine to nothing against Texas two years

997
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 1: ago and beat them this past year. We were there,

998
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 1: we saw it happen. So yes, right about that. Jackson Arnold,

999
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback comes in this year to start. He played

1000
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 1: in the Bowl game. They got a ton returning on defense. Yes,

1001
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:12,399
Speaker 1: check check all that's true. Yeah, he may be being

1002
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 1: slept on, and you know, good andwell, Texas is going

1003
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 1: to take up a lot more oxygen in the room

1004
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 1: than Oklahoma is when they first walk in cause of

1005
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 1: what Texas just did, and there'll be sky high expectations

1006
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: for the Longhorns. Maybe there should be a little higher expectation.

1007
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:29,839
Speaker 1: I've got questions about their O line. They're replacing both coordinators.

1008
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 1: They're seventeenth in the overall playoff odds to win the

1009
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 1: whole thing. Like I said with FanDuel, though, if you're

1010
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 1: looking at that odds market and you think you got

1011
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:42,439
Speaker 1: to read on Oklahoma, you think maybe that offensive line

1012
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: situation is not as bad as it's being made out

1013
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 1: to be, well go bet them. You'll bet him at

1014
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 1: the very least you'll get him a good money right now.

1015
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: But overall, just speaking long term, bigger picture, you may

1016
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 1: be right. Maybe Brenton Venables is being slept on a

1017
00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 1: little bit. There you go, February first, So we're on

00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:16,560
