1
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: Do you dream?

2
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 2: I hope you dream. Do you remember your dreams? Do

3
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 2: you elucid dream? I got one, and it was kind

4
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 2: of emphasized about fifteen minutes ago as we're doing the

5
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: show here live on Sunday night, June's Night. Now the

6
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty four. My dream is

7
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: for us to have a college football season this fall.

8
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 2: It's so intense, that is so hyped, it delivers so thoroughly,

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 2: to the degree that Clemson and Florida just did in

10
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 2: this baseball game a little while ago, that people just

11
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 2: kind of get immersed in it. They forget it's an

12
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 2: election season, they forget to even talk about it online,

13
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: and it's like the greatest season we ever had.

14
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: That's my dream.

15
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: Tune it come true. Unlikely, but that's my dream. Congrats

16
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 2: to Florida.

17
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: It's not a baseball show, but they're headed to the

18
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: College World Series.

19
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: We are jam packed tya type a raucous downtown Nashville,

20
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: Tennessee tonight last night of CMA Fest, so last night

21
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 2: that we struggle to get in our own parking garage

22
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: and get food brought to.

23
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: Us Texas and the SEC.

24
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 2: I'm just throwing that out there because I will discuss

25
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: it tonight. It seems a lot of people have a

26
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: lot of very very strongly worded thoughts about the Longhorns.

27
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: It's like Oklahoma's an afterthought for some reason. I don't know,

28
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: but a lot of thoughts out there about Texas and

29
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 2: how they'll mesh, you know, how they'll migrate to the SEC.

30
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 2: We've got this Hall of Fame conversation we had the

31
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 2: other night, which I thought was over, is not over,

32
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: and it took so many different directions. It's spiderweb, this

33
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: mem al would say, and a lot of you are

34
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: using a lot of words and a lot of phrases

35
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 2: that I'm not quite sure you mean, but we will

36
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: dive into it.

37
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: We got bold.

38
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: Predictions on the show tonight. We got biggest questions for

39
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: the season. We've got a wide out conundrum in Happy Valley,

40
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: and we've dealt with this before. There are protocols, but

41
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: people are getting more and more fed up by the year.

42
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: So we're gonna talk about it and we're gonna do

43
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: the Alabama Mood Tracker on tonight's show. So they're watching

44
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: us in San Diego, California, Charleston, West Virginia, Dothan, Alabama,

45
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: and you know where else they're watching us. I have

46
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: it on good authority that they're watching us in New Carlisle, Indiana.

47
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: And that's not just from Steve Wooflong up there. I

48
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: know more people than just Steven in Indiana New Prairie

49
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: High School.

50
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 1: Don't think I'm not noticing what you guys are doing.

51
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 2: Speaking of baseball, they're going to their first ever state

52
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 2: championship this Friday, I believe in Indianapolis. I can't promise

53
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: I'll be in the neighborhood, but I do wish you

54
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 2: guys the best of luck. So congrats, shout out. We

55
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: got baseball teams doing big things all over the place.

56
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: But this is a college football show. We may have

57
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: a show Tuesday. I don't know yet. I am closely

58
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: monitoring a developing situation with possible tornadic activity in the

59
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: Upper Midwest slash Great Plains region.

60
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: That means you Nebraska, that means you Iowa.

61
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: And what that means is I may be stormchasing later

62
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: in the week, So we may do Thursday show on

63
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: Tuesday at late kick Josh, stay tuned on the social

64
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 2: channels and I will let you know when I know

65
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 2: I can't control the weather. Neither can the government, contrary

66
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 2: to popular belief. But that's another conversation, not for tonight. Tonight,

67
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: I've got plenty more controversy. So if it's controversy you want,

68
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 2: you came to the right place college football wise, at least,

69
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: let's start with this all right, Here we are in

70
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. We got Oklahoma coming into the SEC,

71
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 2: and apparently no one wants to talk about it, because

72
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: we've also got Texas coming into the SEC, and judging

73
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: by my mentions, everyone wants to talk about it. And

74
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: I got a question for you. Do you think it's

75
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: possible for everyone to be in for a rude awakening

76
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: in this whole equation. I've got one crowd over here

77
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: shouting that Texas is about to suffer baptism by fire.

78
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: They don't know what they're walking into.

79
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: And I got a crowd over here and they're shouting,

80
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: you haven't seen anything like Texas is about to bring

81
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: the entire concept of SEC superiority as a myth. Blah

82
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: blah blah, YadA, YadA YadA. We're gonna basically break down

83
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: the wall and a lot of you're gonna get your

84
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: feelings hurt. See what we do year one in year

85
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: conference in the process, could be that neither of you

86
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: are right. So let me give you an example of

87
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about.

88
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: Colin.

89
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: You got that tweet that I was scrolling scrolling through

90
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: the internet. Dangerous thing to do on Sunday afternoon. And

91
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: this this thing's been going for months and months and months. Really,

92
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: it's been going ever since we knew Texas was coming

93
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 2: to the SEC. But now that we're not years away,

94
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: and I've looked at my imaginary watch twice in the

95
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: show already, now that we're just a few months away, BOI,

96
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 2: it's really getting turned up. So apparently Mike Griffith the

97
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 2: other day talked about Sark and his high powered offense,

98
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 2: but the week to week physicality in the SEC will

99
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 2: bring the longhorns and keep them under the wind total. Okay,

100
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: So then our good buddy Kyle out there in a

101
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: longhorned country says there is nothing special about an SEC schedule.

102
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 2: In their first season, Texas is going to disprove all

103
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 2: the theories that people have like the Aggies and SEC

104
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: Mike have been trying to popularize for the last decade

105
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 2: plus about the physicality and prowess that can only be

106
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: found in the SEC. Well, the lie detective determined that

107
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: this is a lie. There is a level of physicality

108
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: that can only be found in the SEC. There is

109
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: a level of competitive balance that can only be found

110
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 2: in the SEC. And when I say balance, I don't

111
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: mean the bottom team can beat the top team. Vanderbilt's

112
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 2: not walking into Tuscaloosa or Athens and winning on any

113
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: given Saturday. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about

114
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: how deep the conference is. I've had these conversations. I've

115
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: had these arguments before, so sometimes I do this on

116
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 2: the show. I'm gonna I'm gonna take it upon myself

117
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: to fill in the blank. I'm gonna make the point here,

118
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: and then I know what the counterpoint is. So I

119
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: tell you that the SEC is much deeper than any

120
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: other conference out there, including the one Texas is coming from,

121
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 2: that being the Big Twelve. And so if you're calling

122
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: into question that you're walking into a much deeper conference

123
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 2: and that strength of schedule, strength of league schedule year

124
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: into year out as a whole different end in the

125
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 2: SEC than it was in the Big Twelve, up, you're wrong.

126
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: It is a different animal. There is a level of.

127
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: Play in the SEC collectively that has not found anywhere

128
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: else in college football.

129
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: Take that exactly for what it means.

130
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: There is a level of play top to bottom that's

131
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,119
Speaker 2: found in the SEC that's not found anywhere else top

132
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: to bottom in college football. So that doesn't mean the

133
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: national champ can't come from somewhere else.

134
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: They just did.

135
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: Michigan just won it five minutes ago and went through

136
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 2: an SEC team in the process. So it doesn't mean

137
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: anything other than what it means. But what I did

138
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 2: want to illustrate in explaining the different world that Texas

139
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 2: is walking into is there will be weeks where like

140
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: Texas will go on the road, they'll randomly play Kentucky.

141
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 2: They'll probably beat Kentucky, and you won't see the training

142
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 2: room the next day. You won't understand that Texas, in

143
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: the process of getting that win, just found out what

144
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: the point is that people like me are making about

145
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: the SEC. I go watch Georgie just play Mississippi State

146
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: something like that.

147
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: Georgia wins.

148
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 2: It could be a runaway, could be a little clunky,

149
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 2: more hard fought contest than you expected. But what I

150
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: always found fascinating was I'm all over the country, so

151
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: I'm watching these games every week. And I used to

152
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: just watch these big boys in the SEC play middle

153
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: of the road teams record wise, and you'd see the collisions,

154
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: and you'd see the physicality, you'd see the point of attack,

155
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage play, and you'd say, I cannot believe

156
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 2: this team over here is in route to going four

157
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: and seven or four and eighth this year. And the

158
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: reason is because not all the teams are good, but

159
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 2: there are some bad teams in the SEC that have

160
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: a lot of guys that are about to go on

161
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 2: to play Sunday ball that isn't found nearly to that

162
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: degree elsewhere. So I want you to think about this

163
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 2: for a second. Texas is coming from the Big twelve, right,

164
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: and the Big twelve over the past four seasons has

165
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 2: had one hundred and eight players drafted.

166
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: So has the SEC.

167
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 2: If I take out a Georgia, LSU, Florida, and Kentucky

168
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 2: to explain the level of depth that you have in

169
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: the SEC compared to where you just came from, I

170
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: could take the top five NFL talent producing teams out

171
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: of the conference and they still match down to the

172
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: number they still match the conference you just came from.

173
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: And the reason I illustrate it like that is because

174
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 2: a lot of folks want to look at the SEC

175
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: and say, well, they're just as top heavy as anyone else.

176
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 2: You take away Bama Georgia and what take away Bama

177
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 2: Georgia and what I just told you. I take the

178
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: top five of them out of the SEC, and it's

179
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 2: still as deep a talent producing conference as the one

180
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: you just came from.

181
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm not hating on the Big Twelve. I love the

182
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: Big Twelve.

183
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 2: I openly called the Big Twelve America's college football conference.

184
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 2: But you got to understand the reason I call them

185
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 2: that is not cause they're matching the SEC man for man.

186
00:08:54,760 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: It's for many other reasons. Having said that, the SEC

187
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 2: is also in for a little rude awakening of their own.

188
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 2: Not everyone in the SEC. Georgia will be fine regardless

189
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: of what Texas does here. Obama will probably be fine

190
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: regardless of what Texas does here. However, I have noticed

191
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: that there are certain corners of the SEC where people

192
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: are chanting.

193
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: Just that they're chanting SEC.

194
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 2: Towards Austin, and really, all you guys should be chanting

195
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: is l because you're going to take one more per

196
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 2: year because a team like Texas just entered the pool.

197
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: It's not enough food for everyone, and Texas is going

198
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 2: to eat long before most of you are.

199
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: Texas is really good. They are really loaded, and so.

200
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 2: I would just like to remind you that a bunch

201
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 2: of you are looking around right now and you're used

202
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: to hiding under the cape of a few programs, and

203
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 2: you're used to being able to beat your chest down

204
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: in the SEC because they carry all the water, and

205
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: since you've got the same sticker on your helmet conference

206
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 2: wise that they do, it makes you feel some sort

207
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 2: of inclusion, and I'm I guess I have no problem

208
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: with that. It always seemed kind of kind of peculiar

209
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 2: if I were in Fayetteville and they were chanting because

210
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: of something Alabama did. Not to be moan my good

211
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 2: friends in northwest Arkansas, but understand what's coming into this conference.

212
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 2: Texas is right on par with the best in the conference.

213
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 2: Texas right now last three years has averaged a class

214
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 2: in recruiting ranked four point five Bama Georgia. That's the

215
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 2: end of the list of other teams you have in

216
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: the SEC that can match or exceed that, so you

217
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: don't go too far down the list. They don't get

218
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 2: on the bus and walk too far down the aisle

219
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 2: before there's a seat for him. The seat for Texas

220
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: in the SEC's right near the front of the bus.

221
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: But they were always loaded, Josh, Texas is one of

222
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 2: the most tired talking points in all of college football. Well,

223
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 2: Texas has always been ultra talented. They've always been loaded.

224
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: They've always recruited like this. No they haven't, No, they haven't.

225
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna I'm gonna let Steve Sarkisan talk to

226
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 2: you for a second, because we were out there last

227
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 2: month and I got him to talk about this. But

228
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 2: then I want to take a sledge hammer outside of

229
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 2: this side and I want to hammer it home. Roll

230
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 2: A Colin, describe how different the depth is here compared

231
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 2: to what you inherited.

232
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 3: Well, just that was year one. Year two we couldn't

233
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: play a spring game, and the reason was I would

234
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 3: have seven, maybe eight offensive lineman total that could physically

235
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 3: go compete in a game.

236
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: This year in.

237
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 3: Spring practice we had seventeen to nineteen to twenty. I mean,

238
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 3: when you start adding up the walk ons and so

239
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 3: on and so forth, so now you can play a

240
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 3: real game, and that goes across the board, whether it's

241
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 3: having enough receivers, having enough defensive lineman. Now, I think

242
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 3: a couple things have contributed that. One. I think we've

243
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 3: structured our roster in a way to where we have

244
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 3: equality in depth across the board. It's not just one

245
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 3: or two position groups that are loaded. We've kind of

246
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 3: assembled it in a way that is lateral.

247
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 2: Lateral assemblance of talent stacking across the boarder. You hear

248
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 2: what he said there, Texas didn't always do that. Texas,

249
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 2: it's true, always had pretty good recruiting rankings long before

250
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 2: Sark got there, long before they were doing anything of

251
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: note in the post Mac Brown era, they weren't recruiting

252
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 2: whole football teams. They if you made recruiting like a

253
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 2: heat map, they'd be really hot over here in like

254
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 2: the wide receiver room, they'd be ice cold on the

255
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: lines of scrimmage. To the point where, like he just said,

256
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: when he got there, they couldn't even do a spring game.

257
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 2: They didn't have enough big bodies at Texas. They didn't

258
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 2: have enough big bodies.

259
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: So that was then.

260
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 2: This is now Texas is the envy of most of America,

261
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 2: including most of the SEC, on the lines of scrimmage,

262
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 2: which is ironic because one of the biggest question marks

263
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 2: about them is losing big talent on the interior of

264
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 2: their defensive line. But unlike years past, this is not

265
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 2: a poverty roster where it counts the most. They have recruited,

266
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 2: as Sark said, very laterally and very effectively, transfer portal.

267
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 2: They've been to go out and do whatever they need

268
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 2: to do recruiting. They've been able to go do whatever

269
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 2: they need to do. As a result, they enter the

270
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 2: SEC as the second odds on favorite to win the

271
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 2: conference in year one. We got Utah coming to the

272
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 2: big twelve favor to win it in year one, Texas

273
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: right behind Georgia as the second odds on favorite at

274
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 2: FanDuel to.

275
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: Win the SEC in year one.

276
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 2: I have an acronym that I believe applies here, mad

277
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 2: with two d's mutually assured destruction debate, which is what

278
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 2: a lot of you are having. If you think the

279
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 2: SEC is about to swallow Texas hole, you're insane. If

280
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 2: you think Texas is about to run rough shot through

281
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 2: the SEC like a hot knife through butter, you're also insane.

282
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 2: Both of you are going to end up taking LS. Now,

283
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 2: there is one thing to consider, and that is that

284
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 2: there is no Alabama, there's no LSU, there's no Tennessee,

285
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: there's no Old miss and there's no Missouri on Texas's

286
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: schedule this year.

287
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: They do go to A and M at the end

288
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: of the year.

289
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 2: They do get Georgia in there inexplicably some in Austin

290
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 2: the same weekend that they are running an F one race.

291
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 2: So you know, community organization not at the forefront of

292
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: the SEC schedule release in the state of Texas. But

293
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: here's what's really funny to me. All Right, so as

294
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 2: Texas goes through this season, they'll be what they'll be

295
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: if Texas does go through this inaugural season in the SEC,

296
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 2: and come mid November they're in the thick of the

297
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 2: SEC Championship race, and then they end up going to Atlanta,

298
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 2: maybe they win the SEC. I'm gonna have I guarantee

299
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 2: you some of the same people telling me about SEC

300
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 2: depth about to take Texas out at the knees that

301
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: will yell, well, they didn't play anybody.

302
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: Excuse me?

303
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: Are you suggesting that there are one or two big

304
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 2: dogs in the SEC and if you dodge them, it's

305
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: like Ohio State and Michigan in the Big Ten. You're

306
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 2: home free. You just shouted for the entirety of the

307
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 2: summer about the depth of the conference. So all I'm

308
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: trying to do, as I usually do this time of year,

309
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: is make sure we're all on a record here. Is

310
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: it the depth that's gonna swallow Texas or is it

311
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 2: a top heavy conference and they avoid the big boys?

312
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: And even if they didn't avoid the big boys, they'd

313
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 2: be able to go blow for blow with them. Hey,

314
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 2: I think Texas is really good and really on par

315
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: with the best of the best in this conference. The

316
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: best of the best in this conference sometimes don't win

317
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 2: the conference because of the conference. That's all I'm saying.

318
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 2: I think this is probably the last year we ever

319
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 2: have this argument, because henceforth, Texas and o you remember

320
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 2: Oklahoma's coming to remember that from this point forward, they'll

321
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 2: be in the conference and no one will argue from

322
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 2: outside the fence about a newcomer. Now, what I can't

323
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 2: control is whether in the future Texas and Oklahoma are

324
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 2: sitting in their seats and having been here for a

325
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: couple of years, looking outside at Hoopstever, the next additions

326
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 2: to the sec end up being no, surely we're done

327
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 2: with conference realignment, right right, right, got no answer.

328
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show tonight.

329
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: If you were watching for the first time or the

330
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 2: one hundred and first time, do me a favor and

331
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 2: check if you're subscribed, and if you're not, please do so.

332
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: You can like the video, you know, a nice five

333
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 2: star review in the podcast format. That's helpful, but really

334
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 2: just subscribing that helps us out. I got a ton

335
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: of questions on the sheet right in front of me

336
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 2: that I have, but I've got a ton more things

337
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 2: to get to tonight. Some of the some of the

338
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 2: more remarkably I would say, controversial takes that I've ever

339
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 2: seen some of you guys have And it's not even

340
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 2: going to be in the Bold Predictions part of the

341
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 2: show tonight. I'm telling you, I'll get to it later.

342
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 2: There is a Hall of Fame take floating around. It's

343
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 2: not about Mike Leech, it's not about any coach. It's

344
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 2: about a player. And some of you, forty seven percent

345
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 2: of you are outside your minds wrong, not opinion, you're

346
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 2: factually wrong. And I'll talk about it a little bit later.

347
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 2: If I have to get adversarial, I have to get adversarial.

348
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 2: I got some questions, though we all have them. It's June.

349
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: God made June for asking questions about the fall. We'll

350
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 2: get the answers when the season comes. How many elite

351
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: teams do you think there will be in college football

352
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 2: this fall? You know, some years we have that thing

353
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 2: where one or two teams separate, and then there's most

354
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 2: years where you have a noticeable Tier one and there

355
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 2: may be four or five teams in it, and then

356
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 2: there's a Tier two and then there's like a pretty

357
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 2: big drop off at some point. You know, the JP

358
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 2: pole comes out on Tuesdays and you can tell, Okay,

359
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 2: once we get past number eight, that's where the big

360
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: drop off, that's where the shelf is.

361
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: Well, are we going to have that this year? Is

362
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: what I wonder.

363
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 2: Georgia's got the best odds to win the title this year,

364
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 2: Ohio State, Texas, Oregon, Alabama, Ole, miss LSU, and that

365
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 2: order right after them. If Georgia's defensive line is up

366
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 2: to their usual standard, Georgia could end up being an

367
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 2: elite team this year. Texas if their defensive line is

368
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 2: able to replace in the aggregate the talent they lost,

369
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: they could be an elite team this year Oregon Secondary

370
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 2: for example, Obama Secondary. If those teams fill those voids

371
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 2: and a backfill with the talent they've portaled in or recruited.

372
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 2: Ohio State on the offensive line, by far the biggest

373
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 2: question in Columbus. If any of these teams that have

374
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 2: high level rosters have answered those questions in the affirmative,

375
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 2: these could be elite teams. Any of them or all

376
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 2: of them could. So what kind of season are we

377
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 2: going to have? Because the answer to that question goes

378
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 2: much much further than just oh is one of those

379
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 2: teams gonna win the title? It goes to opening the

380
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 2: door for like a dozen other teams. Let's just pick randomly.

381
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 2: Let's pick Kansas State. Kansas State's one of the favorites.

382
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 2: I think the second odds on favorite to win the

383
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 2: Big Twelve right now. But I think we all know,

384
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 2: especially in an expanded playoff format where you're gonna have

385
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 2: to be multiple teams even once you get in there.

386
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: If Texas or Georgia or Alabama or Oregon, if one

387
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 2: of those kinds of teams with a much more talented

388
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 2: roster than k State is playing at an elite level.

389
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: A lot of.

390
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 2: It is taken out of Kansas State's hands. We saw

391
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 2: k State play Bama a few years ago into Sugar Bowl,

392
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 2: and you knew if if if you had a bunch

393
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: of ifs with Alabama, you know, if theyre don't bring

394
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 2: their fastball, if Bryce Young and Will Anderson don't start,

395
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 2: k State compet at what they did start, Bama did

396
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 2: bring their fastball, and so a lot of it, a

397
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 2: lot of the variability is taken out of the equation.

398
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 2: Well my point, any year in college football, when we

399
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 2: don't have a draft in this sport, you get to

400
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 2: go hand pick your roster and the halves get the

401
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 2: load up before you ever even get a shot at

402
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 2: the buffet. If any of those teams are clicking on

403
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 2: all cylinders, you're probably not looking at a national championship

404
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: in your cards. But if none of them are, or

405
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 2: if only one or two of them are, and then

406
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 2: they suffer devastating injury in November or the first round

407
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: of the playoffs, well then it opens up the season

408
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 2: to a world's different layer of potential variants and variability.

409
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 2: So if you're a fan, let's say it's a good

410
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 2: a good example like Penn State. Penn State does not

411
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 2: quite match the caliber of roster that those teams have,

412
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:08,959
Speaker 2: But if you looked at the odds column put up

413
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 2: a second ago, Penn State has top ten national championship odds.

414
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 2: If you tell me Ohio State is going to be

415
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 2: elite at offensive line this year, I don't think Penn

416
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 2: State is going through them.

417
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: Even if they beat him in Happy Valley November.

418
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 2: Two, I think is that game, you've probably got a

419
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 2: rematch in the Big Ten title game. You may have

420
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 2: to play him in the playoff. I don't think that

421
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 2: would happen. If Ohio State's vulnerable there, It's actually a

422
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 2: half decent matchup for Penn State. Notre Dame is another

423
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 2: really good example here. Missouri is a great example.

424
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: Missouri.

425
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 2: If Georgia is elite, probably is not coming out of

426
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 2: the SEC. Bama dido, Missouri is probably not coming out

427
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 2: of the SEC over those teams. But if Bama year

428
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: one under the board just doesn't click, if Kirby doesn't

429
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 2: have the caliber of defense that he needs to have,

430
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 2: you know, if Carson Beck's just pretty good but not

431
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 2: great this year, well then all of a sudden. What

432
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 2: could Missouri do? So that's one thing I wonder, and

433
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 2: that's a rentch repeat. You can ask that any given

434
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 2: year going.

435
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: Into the season.

436
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 2: Another question that I have and I'll be happy to

437
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 2: take feedback on this. We got a bunch of year

438
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 2: two quarterbacks in college football. Which one of them just

439
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 2: really takes off into the next level, Which one of

440
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 2: them really scales that performance? I got three of them.

441
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 2: I'm looking at. Clint Brewster put up a really good

442
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,239
Speaker 2: piece on cbssports dot com, I think earlier today, and

443
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 2: he included a lot of guys who haven't started full seasons,

444
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 2: like Nico Iamaliava. Clearly, you know I'm all in on

445
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 2: him at Tennessee, but he hasn't started a full year.

446
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about guys who have started a full year

447
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 2: or most of a year, and then this is kind

448
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 2: of their full year too, Drew Aler, since we were

449
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: just talking about Penn State Drew Aller, is that getting

450
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 2: some NFL feedback the other day? He's not draft eligible

451
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: or anything yet, but getting some NFL feedback. Whereas some

452
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 2: people in the general college football public have sold their

453
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 2: stock in him, some in the media won't be talking

454
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 2: about him much. The NFL folks still think the world

455
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 2: of him, and so I look around and I say, okay, Well,

456
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 2: if they don't think this was a busted evaluation, if

457
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 2: they think Drew Aller's still everything we thought he was

458
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 2: coming out of high school, clearly they think there's still

459
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 2: some development that has to be done there, which is normal,

460
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 2: it's college football.

461
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: But also you've got a new offensive coordinator there.

462
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 2: We've talked about him a lot, and he cold Niki

463
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 2: out of Kansas, and if anything, you know, meshes on

464
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 2: that front there, the explosive play rate increases, then he's

465
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 2: a prime candidate for that. I think about rock O

466
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 2: becked up at Iowa State, and I've chronicled this a

467
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: number of times.

468
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: I'll do it at least once more.

469
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 2: Number One, because I have heavy bias here just openly

470
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 2: rooting for Iowa State.

471
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: Is it unprofessional? No, I don't think so at all.

472
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 2: So go Clones and Roco Beck to quarterback there goodyear

473
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 2: last year, could be one of the breakout players.

474
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: In college football this coming fall.

475
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 2: Could have been playing probably at a dozen other more

476
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 2: high profile places. The nil offers were on the table,

477
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 2: he said, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.

478
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 2: Ames Iowa probably I'm the only other one that's quoted

479
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 2: that recently more than him.

480
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: Gimme Iowa State.

481
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 2: So I'm looking at him because elsewhere there's a ton

482
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 2: of returning experience on that team.

483
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: It's the Big Twelve.

484
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 2: It's the perfect conference for that sort of situation to

485
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 2: be bubbling in. A lot of you stopped talking about

486
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 2: Matt Campbell is one of the most underrated overlooked coaches

487
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 2: in college football.

488
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: That just means he actually is.

489
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 2: Now one of the most underrated and overlooked coaches in

490
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 2: college football. Nothing's changed about that guy. It's not like

491
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 2: you forgot what he was doing from a few years ago.

492
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 2: It's Iowa State. It's a very very cyclical program. And thirdly,

493
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: Avery Johnson at Kansas State. When we were up there

494
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 2: on the Pate State Speaker Series and Chris Clemban sat

495
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 2: down with us, he talked him up on the record.

496
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 2: But you know, we talked with Climbing a little bit

497
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 2: before and after we recorded, and talk to some of

498
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 2: their coaches too, and they, man, they love him, love

499
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 2: Avery Johnson. And so then they of course try and

500
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 2: go out and get as many pieces to put around him.

501
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: You got really really good tailbacks there.

502
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 2: But also Avery Johnson just year one to year two

503
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 2: as a passer could be a really really big improvement.

504
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 2: And at that point you're looking at a complete player

505
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 2: leadership wise. They've had few come through there the likes

506
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 2: of Avery Johnson.

507
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: So those are three.

508
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 2: I look at Jackson Arnold at Oklahoma hasn't started a

509
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 2: full year, of course, I'm looking at him like I

510
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 2: said Nico at Tennessee. Of course, but the second year quarterbacks,

511
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 2: that's how you get a big surprise on your hands.

512
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 2: That's how you get a surprise playoff contender that makes

513
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 2: the playoff and then does something in the playoff. And

514
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 2: you're saying, Wow, why didn't I see this coming in

515
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 2: June or.

516
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 1: July or August.

517
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 2: Well, it's a book, cause maybe you based your predictions

518
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 2: and expectations off of what had happened instead of thinking

519
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 2: about what could happen. Speaking of what could happen and

520
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 2: getting just really toxic here for a second, what happens

521
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 2: to the loser of the Miami versus Florida game. This

522
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 2: is a Week one game. You know as well as

523
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 2: I do. The popular talking points around both of these teams.

524
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 2: The popular talking point around Florida is do or die

525
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 2: year hot seed. Billy Napier got it done at Louisiana.

526
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 2: Can't he get it done at Florida. That's all anyone's

527
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 2: going to talk about between nine and then at Miami,

528
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 2: folks hadn't gotten over the Georgia Tech debacle last year.

529
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 2: Miami's always going to underachieve. Yeah, they'll go recruit a

530
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 2: lot of talent, but will Mario ever get it done

531
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 2: on Saturdays? And so I can't control that, nor is

532
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 2: it my business too. That's all that's going to be

533
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: talked about. However, inside the bubble of the fan bases,

534
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 2: as the season approaches, you will have the same kind

535
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 2: of optimism that is born every August throughout fall camp,

536
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 2: and you'll get that first scrimmage report and you'll start

537
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 2: to hear the undercurrent of positivity, and you'll start to

538
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 2: hear from both Coral Gables and Gainesville that the public

539
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 2: is sleeping on us. Let them sleep. And you know what,

540
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 2: I've been inside both of those buildings this spring. I've

541
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 2: been around both of those staffs and both those rosters

542
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 2: this spring. I actually believe that's accurate for both of

543
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 2: those programs. But here's the part that's important. They play

544
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: each other week one, and meanwhile, used to always say

545
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 2: a half of football in week one has more power

546
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 2: than the previous six months did. Six months, you know,

547
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,239
Speaker 2: starting from springing and all the way through summer and

548
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 2: in fall camp.

549
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: That's how long you have to build.

550
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 2: Up your hype, build up your expectations, and build up

551
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: your best case scenarios and then boom, you're trailing seventeen

552
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 2: to six at the half and it's all popped. And

553
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, if you want to see the most

554
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 2: toxic environment imaginable, go to the team that is trailing

555
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 2: this game at halftimes message board and check it out.

556
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 2: Swamp twenty four to seven inside the U either one

557
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: of them, go check out that message board at halftime.

558
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 2: In fact, one of the most prospective building exercises you

559
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 2: could ever incur in your life is to scan team

560
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 2: message boards or Reddit or Twitter at halftime of a

561
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 2: game you're losing, especially the ones you come back and win.

562
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: Coaches are fired.

563
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 2: Hardball probably got fired at Michigan fifteen times over the

564
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 2: course of the last few years before he ended up

565
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,479
Speaker 2: doing what winning a title.

566
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 1: So forget about halftime.

567
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 2: Someone's gonna lose this football game, and then I'm going

568
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 2: to listen to someone make way too much of a

569
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 2: week one, probably ultra competitive and ultra cramp filled out

570
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,479
Speaker 2: of conference game in Gaysville. That's really what it is.

571
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 2: A lot more will be made of that than should

572
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 2: be because there will be very very like extracurricular outside

573
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 2: of football storylines that are attached to it, almost soap

574
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 2: oper esque. Now I'm not complaining about that, and those

575
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,239
Speaker 2: guys shouldn't. I mean they're not. They're making a lot

576
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 2: of money to be in that spot, and both of

577
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 2: them will embrace it, and both programs will embrace it.

578
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 2: But it's gonna get really, really ugly, and you're gonna

579
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 2: have to circle the wagons for one of those programs

580
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 2: when they lose that game. And I'm just fascinated to

581
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 2: see what happens and how galvanized the program is coming

582
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 2: out of that thing. If it's Miami, if it's Florida,

583
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 2: I don't care. Florida will know they have an infinitely

584
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 2: tougher road still in front of them. Miami, you know,

585
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 2: if they lose that when you know what I'm not

586
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 2: softening the blow, cause either way it's going to be

587
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 2: ugly for at least six days for the losing team's

588
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 2: fan base, and lastly for tonight at least. One of

589
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 2: the things I'm wondering, do you have any inclination as

590
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 2: to who this year's TCU or Washington will be? And

591
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 2: that's the team basically just keeps winning close games and

592
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 2: you keep picking against them. I know I did with

593
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 2: Washington last year. I picked them to lose I think

594
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 2: three different times. Finally got it right in the end,

595
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 2: but I picked them to lose three different times.

596
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: When they won.

597
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 2: I think I was at two of the games. I

598
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 2: was at all three of the games. I went to

599
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 2: three Washington games in person last year. Picked them to

600
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 2: go oh and three in those three games, just in retrospect,

601
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 2: like a complete idiot.

602
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: But why why did I pick them?

603
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 2: Well because my numbers said they should lose, but they

604
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 2: kept on winning close games. So last year Washington was

605
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 2: six and one in one possession games. The year before

606
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 2: no TCU. TCU last year two years ago was six

607
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 2: and one in one possession games. Washington was eight and

608
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 2: oh in games decided by one possession or less.

609
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: Last year.

610
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 2: So those two teams combined to go fourteen and one

611
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 2: past two seasons in those one possession games. Well, someone's

612
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 2: gonna do that this year, and as a result, someone's

613
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 2: gonna be sitting there with ten or eleven wins that

614
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 2: you had pegged for seven or eight wins. It could

615
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 2: be Oklahoma State. Oklahoma State sitting there with the number

616
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 2: two returning production roster in college football. They may very

617
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 2: well have the best offensive line, certainly the most experienced

618
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 2: offensive line coming back. Mike Gundy is always prone to

619
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 2: pop a surprise season on your Virginia Tech. You know,

620
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 2: Virginia Tech's not being talked about over in the ACC,

621
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 2: but they start with a very favorable run. They got

622
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 2: a lot of runway there. They also have the number

623
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 2: four most returning production in college football, and you just

624
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 2: if they just start rattling off close wins. They go

625
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 2: to Miami nine to twenty seven, They go to Miami,

626
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 2: what if they win that thing twenty three to twenty

627
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,239
Speaker 2: Elsewhere they played Rutgers, Old Dominion, Marshall, and Vanderbolt before that,

628
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 2: they go to Stanford the week after that, Boston College.

629
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: You start looking down the list, and at that point.

630
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 2: You start saying, well, I could see Virginia Tech winning

631
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 2: every one of those games. Well, the problem is no

632
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: one's going to predict them to do it in June

633
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 2: or July. However, if they do it, everyone will look

634
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 2: back and say, why didn't I see this coming? What

635
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 2: if it's USF But what if it's the balls down

636
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 2: there in Tampa, Alex scoldish friend of the program. What

637
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 2: if they start rattling off those one possession wins and

638
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 2: you know what, they go to Bama in Week two

639
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 2: and I was gonna write that one off because they

640
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 2: they made Alabama. They forced Alabama into the ugliest game

641
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 2: in the history of Crimson Tide football last year before

642
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 2: they ultimately lost I think seventeen to three. But they

643
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 2: got some big boys on their schedule, Bama and Miami.

644
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 2: But you know what could serve them very well. Got

645
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 2: a good staff down there, got a good plan in place.

646
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 2: What if they start rattling off some one possession wins.

647
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 2: What if they're that G five team that's the highest ranked.

648
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 2: When the dust settles and all of a sudden, you

649
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,479
Speaker 2: got imagine this headline, imagine this paper popper of a headline.

650
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 2: South Florida in the college football playoff.

651
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: Someone's gonna do it.

652
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 2: Someone's gonna be up there, someone's gonna be five and one,

653
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 2: six and oh seven and two or something like that

654
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 2: in one possession games.

655
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: And if there was any.

656
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 2: Skill in spotting them, then man, we could shut fan

657
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 2: duel down. But alas, it wouldn't be in good business

658
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 2: interest for me.

659
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: To advocate for that. However, here is what.

660
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 2: Is in good business interest for me to remind you

661
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 2: of Father's Day is coming up. And on a related note,

662
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 2: we are partnered with Academy Sports and Outdoors. It is

663
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 2: not just your exclusive Father's Day Headquarters. In fact, I

664
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 2: don't even think they have coined that phrasing, and it

665
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 2: may be infringement of some kind for me to even

666
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 2: say it, but that's okay. We infringe on this show

667
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 2: all the time, your official Father's Day Outdoors, Sporting Goods

668
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 2: and More headquarters. Figure out that acronym is Academy Sports

669
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 2: and Outdoors. There's a QR code on the screen right now.

670
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 2: Use it because it'll help us. Go to the show

671
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 2: description on YouTube. Click the link.

672
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: Use it. It'll help us.

673
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 2: I am a big proponent of going to the store

674
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 2: in person. Some of you can't go in person, so

675
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 2: Academy dot com is the way you do it. But

676
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 2: even if you're gonna go in person, follow my lead.

677
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 2: I needed a wagon the other day, so we go

678
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 2: and we use the QR coat and we purchase it,

679
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 2: and then we apply for pickup instead of delivery, save

680
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 2: a little on the delivery charge, and we go pick

681
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 2: it up and while everyone was happy, I encourage you.

682
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: To just do this.

683
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 2: If you've never been to Academy before, just give them

684
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 2: a look. Give them a look, because if you've never been,

685
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 2: what you're probably picturing in your mind is something far

686
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 2: different than what Academy has. You'll walk in and you'll

687
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 2: see everything you thought they had, and then you'll see

688
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 2: the other seventy five percent of the store and you'll say, WHOA,

689
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,719
Speaker 2: I could actually get pretty much everything I need to

690
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 2: live here. I mean, they're not selling milk and eggs

691
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 2: and bread and stuff, but besides that, got pretty much

692
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 2: everything I need. And you can just order all your

693
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 2: food online anyway. So Academy Sports and Outdoors.

694
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: Check them out.

695
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 2: You got seven six days, let's make it count.

696
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: You know, I'm going to.

697
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,479
Speaker 2: Get a little testy with a y in this next segment.

698
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 2: So I'm trying to adjust myself right now so that

699
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 2: the circulation doesn't cut off in my legs, and I

700
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 2: get a leg cramp because the last thing I want

701
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 2: to do is trying.

702
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: To be taken dead seriously.

703
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 2: And then I catch a leg cramp and I have

704
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 2: to throw up the crossed arms, and Colin throws up

705
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 2: the slate screen. So I think our circulation's good, Colin,

706
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 2: So that's good news. Here's the not so good news,

707
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 2: And here's your endpoint, Colin. The other day, we did

708
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 2: this whole thing on the College Football Hall of Fame,

709
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,919
Speaker 2: and how I think the criteria is just jacked. It's

710
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 2: got to be torn down, it's got to be rewritten

711
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 2: from scratch, because we've got a lot of people that

712
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 2: should be in the College Football Hall of Fame that

713
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 2: aren't going to be in there. Pete Carroll for example,

714
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 2: Mike Leach for example, Julio Jones, Trevor Lawrence, stats In Bennett.

715
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: I was happy. I was happy enough to leave.

716
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 2: It alone, and then I realized, wait a second, I

717
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 2: keep feeling something.

718
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: I keep feeling this undercurrent.

719
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 2: You know, you usually learn to gauge whether you've said

720
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 2: something unpopular on the show by the amount of feedback

721
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 2: you get. If I get one random email or two

722
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 2: random replies or dms, that's nothing. If I get fifteen

723
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 2: or twenty, there's usually a rule of one hundred you

724
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 2: times whatever someone said by one hundred, that's actually how

725
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 2: many people in the audience felt that. Well, I got

726
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 2: like fifteen or twenty people. The other night that said

727
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 2: Stet's and Bennett shouldn't belong in the Hall of Fame,

728
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 2: and I said, I know the rules say he can't

729
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 2: be in. What I was saying was he should be

730
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 2: able to be in. And they said, we understood what

731
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 2: you were saying. We don't think in any world he

732
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:34,240
Speaker 2: should be able to be in. So the other day, Colin,

733
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 2: don't throw the poll up quite yet. The other day

734
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: it's Saturday. So yesterday I said, it's a slow morning,

735
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 2: no big breaking news. I'm gonna test the waters with

736
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 2: this because I think these people are wrong. I think

737
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 2: the vast majority of folks out there believe Stet's and

738
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 2: Bennett's a Hall of Famer. So I do the most

739
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 2: scientific thing I can. I go to Twitter and I

740
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 2: say stets and Bennett hall of Famer. Forget about the rules,

741
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 2: forget about the current rule, pretend the rules were what

742
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 2: they should be. Should Stetson Bennett be a Hall of Famer?

743
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 2: And it went crazy, and so I said, well, forget

744
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 2: about that. We'll just put it to a vote. And Colin,

745
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 2: now you can put up the poll. I asked it

746
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 2: as simple as I could, Stetson Bennett College Football Hall

747
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 2: of Fame, Yes or no. I'm sitting here thinking it's

748
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 2: going to be eighty twenty Yes, maybe seventy thirty at

749
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:30,399
Speaker 2: the most. We got nearly thirteen six We got nearly

750
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 2: fourteen thousand votes on this. Fifty two point six percent

751
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 2: said yes. Forty seven point four percent of you believe

752
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 2: that the dude who won two national championships at Georgia,

753
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 2: a place where they hadn't won one since Saint Helen's erupted. Literally,

754
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 2: a dude who was a Heisman Trophy finalist, a former

755
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 2: walk on, who Kirby Smart, did everything in his world

756
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 2: possible to drop kick out the door there, then comes back,

757
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,720
Speaker 2: ends up starting for him due to lack of options.

758
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 1: And ends up two titles.

759
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 2: That dude doesn't belong in the College Football Hall of Fame.

760
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 2: That's not what we're looking for in the College Football

761
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. I have no idea about two or

762
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 2: three times a year you guys do this to me.

763
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 2: I know you very well. I am one of you.

764
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 2: We usually think in lockstep. It's not that we disagree,

765
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 2: but on the broader themes of this sport, we usually agree.

766
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 2: How are so many of you just wrong on this?

767
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 2: How are you on the wrong side of this?

768
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: Now?

769
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 2: I did my due diligence, and because I have someone

770
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 2: very close to me. Look, I clutch my heart as

771
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 2: I speak of her. I have someone very close to

772
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 2: me who is on the opposite side of this fence.

773
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 2: This is tough. This is very tough for me. I've

774
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 2: been warned to tread lightly. I'm going to do it

775
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 2: as lightly as I can. But I'm also going to

776
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 2: be honest. Stets' Bennett belongs in the College Football Hall

777
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 2: of Fame? Are you people high?

778
00:37:58,040 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: Again? Lightly?

779
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 2: Are you people high? So let's just state it for

780
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 2: the record. Georgia, I didn't make the Saint Helen's thing up.

781
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 2: Saint Helen's erupts in nineteen eighty. Georgia then wins a

782
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 2: national championship and both go dormant Saint Helen's thankfully still is.

783
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 2: Georgia wakes up in twenty twenty one with Stetson Bennett

784
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 2: as their quarterback. He wins the national title. Twenty twenty two,

785
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 2: Run it Back. Stetson Bennett plays one of the greatest

786
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 2: games that I've ever seen in person against Ohio State,

787
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 2: and then there's an afterthought of a title game against TCU.

788
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 2: Wins it again. He's holding title trophies in each hand.

789
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 2: They invite them to New York City. They do this

790
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 2: thing called the Heisman there every December, and he's a finalist.

791
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 2: He does things for a storied program that haven't been

792
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 2: done in generations, does everything checks every box on top

793
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,280
Speaker 2: of that delivers one of the greatest stories in this sport.

794
00:38:55,840 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 2: In the recruiting era, in the modern, hyper focused, iper

795
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 2: evaluated recruiting era, he's an afterthought. He's a walk on

796
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 2: who gets tossed on the scrap heap, goes to Juco,

797
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 2: does nothing of note in Juco, comes back, fights his way,

798
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 2: stays on the depth chart. Things happen, and he's inserted

799
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 2: as the starter and all he does is win. All

800
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 2: he does is end up winning. And I know that

801
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 2: I know what the talking points are, so I got

802
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 2: people coming at me left and right.

803
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: Well, well, yeah, they won two national championships. Stetson Bennett

804
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: didn't do anything. He was carried by his team. Yeah,

805
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: here's the thing about that.

806
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 2: You guys claim to care about what happens on the field,

807
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 2: and yet you watch everything but what happened on the field.

808
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 2: Stets And Bennett faced Bama and Ohio State in twenty

809
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 2: twenty one and goes a combined forty of sixty for

810
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 2: six twenty two and six touchdowns against him.

811
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: They had to.

812
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 2: Go through the best those two years. They had to

813
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 2: go through the best. Bama or a title in twenty one,

814
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 2: Ohio State was the de facto national championship game in

815
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. They don't win either of those games

816
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 2: without him. But Josh George is always loaded. No, that's

817
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 2: me making that point. Do you notice what I did there?

818
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 2: Georgia was so loaded though Josh, an average quarterback, could

819
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 2: have done that. You know which other season George has

820
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 2: been loaded? Pretty much every other year. They were loaded

821
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 2: last year. Where's the national championship ring? They were loaded

822
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 2: before Stetson Bennett got there. Where the national championship rings?

823
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 2: If it's so easy to do. And here's what else

824
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 2: funny about that, the crowd that tells you Georgia was

825
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 2: so loaded, give it a few years. Let's go revisit

826
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 2: this in twenty thirty, or could probably revisit it now,

827
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,399
Speaker 2: truth be told, Would most of you start rattling off

828
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 2: Georgia's roster to me that roster was so loaded, Start

829
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,720
Speaker 2: rattling them off and watch how long it takes before

830
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 2: their mouth runs dry. Cause Stetson Bennett's the name you

831
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 2: actually remember, even though you're trying to disco at him

832
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 2: and put him over in the corner because there were

833
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 2: so many other guys who carried the mantle. Yeah, Georgia

834
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 2: was loaded. Yeah, Georgia's team won a title. To the

835
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 2: best of my knowledge, there's never been an individual, even

836
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 2: Cam in twenty ten didn't literally win the thing by himself.

837
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 2: And yet, because you have this default in your mind

838
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 2: to Stetson been at the walk On, Stetson Ben at

839
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 2: the No Star, the stuff that didn't happen on the

840
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 2: field is such the default position in your mind that

841
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,280
Speaker 2: you can't let your eyeballs absorb what you're actually seeing

842
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 2: because what you actually ended up seeing was a guy

843
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 2: played pretty high level football, and you understand leverage positions

844
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 2: in the sport.

845
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: If you've ever done anything.

846
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 2: At a high level competitively, you understand what leverage positions are.

847
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 2: And it's not in shorts in summer in Athens, Georgia.

848
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 2: It's playing against Alabama for a national championship with the

849
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 2: greatest of all time on the other side of the field.

850
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna tell you right now, they believe Bryce

851
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 2: Young is one of the greatest of all time to

852
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 2: come through that program, and he's helped and you got

853
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 2: to play better than him, and you do. And then

854
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 2: the next year you got CJ. Stroud in Ohio State.

855
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: CJ.

856
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 2: Stroud plays the game of his life and somehow you

857
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:17,760
Speaker 2: end up matching him. Average quarterbacks don't do that. Average

858
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 2: quarterbacks end up being a footnote in history. Average quarterbacks

859
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 2: end up being the reason that Georgia had a pretty

860
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 2: good year there, but then they ran into a brick

861
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,760
Speaker 2: wall named Alabama or Ohio State. That's not what steps

862
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 2: and Bennett let Georgia do. Because he actually played his

863
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 2: best at the highest leverage moments. That's special and it's intangible.

864
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 2: It's not baked into a star ranking because you can

865
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 2: never know that's coming. Now, you could watch guys come

866
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 2: through in the clutch in high school. You could do that,

867
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 2: but a lot of them do because a lot of

868
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 2: them are that much better physically than their opponents steps

869
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 2: and Bennett wasn't better physically. That's the whole point. Well, Josh,

870
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 2: he was a walk on. Kirby didn't even want to

871
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:57,919
Speaker 2: start him. That proves my point. No, no, no, no, no,

872
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 2: it proves my point. That is is the point. It's

873
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 2: one of the greatest stories you'll ever see in this sport.

874
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 2: It should be bottled up and preached to every kid

875
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 2: that doesn't have a fourth or fifth star next.

876
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: To his name.

877
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 2: I stop and I pause because normally, when there's a

878
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 2: fifty two forty eight split in a vote on something

879
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 2: in college football, I can usually see both sides, honest,

880
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 2: being as honest as I can, I can't even see

881
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 2: the other side. There was not a single logic base

882
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 2: point that was made to me. And I looked through

883
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,720
Speaker 2: hundreds to thousands of them. There was not a single

884
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 2: logic based point. It was all his nonsense. It was

885
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 2: all yeah, well Georgia was loaded, but well Georgia carried him,

886
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 2: his team carried him.

887
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: What are we talking about? What kind of hall of

888
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: fame exists for this sport? Well, Josh, when was he drafted?

889
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 1: What's he done in the NFL? Don't care? Don't care.

890
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: It's a college football Hall of fame?

891
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 2: Yeah right, Okay, Well, as far as I can tell,

892
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 2: what you do once you get out of college might

893
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:04,800
Speaker 2: as well be the edge of a cliff. I couldn't

894
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 2: care less. Some of you claim to love college football

895
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 2: and then you spout off nonsense like that, what's you've

896
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 2: done in the NFL? I don't care because it's a

897
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 2: college football Hall of fame?

898
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: Nor should you.

899
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 2: If you want to talk about the longevity of his

900
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 2: career start to finish, high school to retirement, go ahead, like,

901
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 2: do we argue that for anyone else?

902
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 1: Like? Are you making that argument about anyone else? How stupid?

903
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: Is that? So?

904
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 2: Anyway, that's as lightly as I can tread on that. Yes,

905
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 2: Stet's and Bennin unequivocally belongs in a college football Hall

906
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 2: of Fame, And the fact that we have rules in

907
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 2: place that prevent him from being on a ballot's ludicrous.

908
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 2: And might I remind you here's how bad the college

909
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 2: Football Hall of Fame voting process is right now. Not

910
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 2: even the folks who voted no, Not even the folks

911
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 2: who think Stets and Bennett shouldn't be in, think he

912
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 2: shouldn't be able to be on the ballot. Not even

913
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 2: those people support the asinine stance and criteria that the

914
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 2: college Well Hall of Fame voting includes. Right now, Happy June, everyone,

915
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 2: Let's go to bold predictions. Maybe something we can agree

916
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 2: on here for a second. At least Yes landed in

917
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 2: the majority. I haven't checked the electoral college, but at

918
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 2: least it landed in the majority. Bold predictions the things

919
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 2: that you claim that you believe and you'd bet your

920
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 2: own money on. Well, let's just see about this first

921
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 2: up tonight. This would be familiar. Evan from Brooklyn, New

922
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 2: York said, Georgia will play Oregon for the National Championship.

923
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,760
Speaker 2: Specificity is key here. This is a nine point five

924
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 2: on the boldness scale. Despite the fact that you could

925
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 2: easily foresee this, You could envision this Georgia versus Oregon.

926
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 2: Georgie's got the best odds to win the whole thing.

927
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 2: Oregon's got the fourth best odds to win the whole thing.

928
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 2: They figure to be there. They figure to both be

929
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 2: in the playoff. But the specificity of predicting an exact

930
00:45:56,280 --> 00:46:00,919
Speaker 2: combination of teams in the championship game, that's what bold

931
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 2: predictions is all about. It's easy to envision. Yes, now,

932
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 2: if you're listening in Eugene, close your ears for a second.

933
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 2: The title games in Atlanta this year? You guys ever

934
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 2: faced Georgia in Atlanta? Oh you have two years ago?

935
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:19,760
Speaker 1: Score? Nope?

936
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,439
Speaker 2: All right, open your ears. Yeah, that's a nine point

937
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 2: five on the boldness scale. Next up, let's go to

938
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 2: the Big Twelve. I don't think this is that bold,

939
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 2: or maybe it is. BP from Bridgeport, Connecticut said, Utah

940
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 2: wins the Big Twelve. Cam Rising aka Producer Jesse's doppelganger

941
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 2: comes back healthy and re establishes his connection, and he

942
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 2: leads the use of the playoff. You know, you might think,

943
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 2: since Utah is the odds on favorite to win the

944
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,280
Speaker 2: Big Twelve right now, that this is not overly bold.

945
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: And I'll grant you that it's not overly bold, but.

946
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 2: I'm still putting a seven point five on the boldness

947
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 2: scale on it because even though Utah's favored, they're not

948
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 2: favored by that much. Kansas State's right there, ANDAs is

949
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 2: there Iowa State now the fourth best odds, and Texas

950
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 2: Tech and Arizona and Oklahoma State and UCF have comparable

951
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 2: odds there in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eight slots.

952
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 2: And oh, I say all that to say this, you're

953
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 2: brand new to the conference, so everything will be new

954
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 2: this year. Yes, Cam Rising is back, let's not just

955
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 2: automatically assume all American caliber play.

956
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: I'm happy to see him back.

957
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,359
Speaker 2: And also there's a lot of competitive balance here, So

958
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 2: predicting any one team, even the favorite to win the

959
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 2: Big twelve, I think it's bold. It's at least a

960
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 2: seven point five on the boldness scale. Also, there's a

961
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 2: two game stretch here. If you're looking at the schedule

962
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 2: Colin showing it to you on the screen right now,

963
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 2: they go to Oklahoma State, second leg of a back

964
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 2: to back road stretch there early in the season. They

965
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 2: go there on the twenty first of September, and then

966
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 2: they got Arizona at home on the twenty eighth, and

967
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:54,319
Speaker 2: then their first bye week. Let's get there and then

968
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 2: we'll reassess, because if they're four and oh or they're

969
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 2: five and oh, at that point, they're off to the races,

970
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 2: maybe overwhelm, I mean favorite. They do have Iowa State

971
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 2: very late in the year, so a lot of newness here.

972
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,399
Speaker 2: You're going into a conference for the first time. Let's

973
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 2: see seven and a half on the boldnes scale.

974
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: Next up. Kind of had a version of this the

975
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: other day.

976
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 2: But let's go back to the well two two nine

977
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 2: dogs said Colorado does not make a bowl game. Well,

978
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 2: that's a six on the boldness scale. It's not bold

979
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 2: because they're over under win totals five and a half.

980
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 2: So our friends in the odds making community have it

981
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,720
Speaker 2: a little bit juice to the over. So the feeling

982
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 2: in Vegas is five and a half six wins. If

983
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,800
Speaker 2: we simulated their season ten times, that's about where they'd land. Well,

984
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,760
Speaker 2: six is a pretty important number in the whole Bowld

985
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 2: scheme of things. That game at Nebraska week two. How

986
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 2: about that one they got North Dakota State week one. No,

987
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 2: I'm not overlooking that they got him in week one

988
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 2: on a Thursday or a Friday, I think it is.

989
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 2: So they go to Nebraska week two, and that's not

990
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 2: a conference game or anything like that, but it's a

991
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 2: rivalry game. First off, and second, it'll give us a

992
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 2: really good barometer. I think where the program's at. They

993
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 2: go to Colorado State Week three, and then boom, you

994
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 2: just dive into conference play.

995
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:08,720
Speaker 1: Now I'm a believer.

996
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 2: I got a theory on how Colorado fits into the

997
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:15,839
Speaker 2: Big Twelve. There is I think a false or a

998
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 2: falsely held belief out there that because Colorado is going

999
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 2: to the Big twelve and the Big twelve is not

1000
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 2: chock full of four and five star talent, first round

1001
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 2: NFL draft pick future type guys, that Colorado will have

1002
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:31,240
Speaker 2: a better chance. Well, I don't necessarily believe that's true.

1003
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,840
Speaker 2: You may have a couple of the best NFL draft

1004
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:38,760
Speaker 2: prospects on your team. Travis Hunter especially is the best

1005
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 2: draft prospect in the entire conference out there.

1006
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:42,359
Speaker 1: You may have that.

1007
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 2: What they have is they got a bunch of guys

1008
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:48,320
Speaker 2: who have played together four years, five years, six years.

1009
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:55,360
Speaker 2: They got incredible amounts of production that's returning, chemistry, cohesion, culture.

1010
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 2: Every Big twelve program is a virtual bowling ball on

1011
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,879
Speaker 2: that front. So it's not like a rubber band ball

1012
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 2: that can come apart. You know, the more pressure you

1013
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:07,240
Speaker 2: put on it, that is not the way you're winning.

1014
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:08,240
Speaker 1: In the Big twelve.

1015
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 2: You've got to outplay people in the Big twelve, and

1016
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 2: it's hard to outplay really consistent and fundamentally sound football

1017
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 2: teams because it's not like their poverty talent wise, they

1018
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 2: may not match, you know, the big boys in the

1019
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 2: Big ten in the SEC. But to just think you're

1020
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,879
Speaker 2: gonna buzz saw your way, to think you're gonna you're

1021
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 2: gonna big boy your way through them with a couple

1022
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 2: of superior athletes, that's not the way that's gonna work.

1023
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:34,879
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a big story either way. It's gonna

1024
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 2: be fun to follow either way. Six on the Boldenes Scalpe,

1025
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 2: and last up, take a brief turn towards negative town.

1026
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 1: Here.

1027
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 2: You're gonna see this one a lot. Florida finally fires

1028
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 2: Sunbelt Billy Napier refuse to pay too much attention to

1029
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 2: the team until he's gone. Really, you're not paying attention

1030
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 2: to the team until he's gone.

1031
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 1: Well, I don't believe that.

1032
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 2: I believe that our boy there will be tuned into

1033
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 2: the Miami game just as much as everyone else. You

1034
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 2: don't have to support Billy Napier or like him or whatever,

1035
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 2: but any I always love this hunger strike mentality. I

1036
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 2: don't like my coach, I'm not watching, I'm boycotting my team.

1037
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: Here we go. This is a live look at you

1038
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 1: guys boycotting your team. You're not boycotting your team. Be real.

1039
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 2: You only get twelve of these things a year. You

1040
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 2: know you don't get many years by the way average

1041
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 2: life expectancy. What's seventy five, seventy four or seventy three.

1042
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 2: Don't boycott your team now. If you think Billy Napier

1043
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 2: is going to be fired, that's an eight on the

1044
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 2: boldness scale. Could see it. I don't personally expect it.

1045
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 2: Could see it, though. Is there a magic number? They're overwintled?

1046
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 2: There are Well, let me stop and tell you the

1047
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 2: over underwin total fandels four and a half.

1048
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 1: Heavily juiced to the over. But it's at four and

1049
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:48,879
Speaker 1: a half. That's low.

1050
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:53,399
Speaker 2: It's not Florida, that's not the Florida standard. So that's

1051
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 2: the starting point. So is there some magic number? Is

1052
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 2: it a win six games or year out of here?

1053
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 2: I don't ever know if that's the case. There are

1054
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 2: a few ways this could go, though, So the first

1055
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 2: one is just disaster. They go four and eight, they

1056
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 2: go three and nine, Yeah, he's probably gone. There is

1057
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 2: another scenario where they just pop an entire surprise nine

1058
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:14,839
Speaker 2: and three or ten and two on you, and he's

1059
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 2: the coach of the year. Both of those things could happen.

1060
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 2: There is a third scenario, which I think is very possible,

1061
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:26,720
Speaker 2: where Florida goes like six and six or seven and five,

1062
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,360
Speaker 2: and every game is a dogfight, Every game's one possession.

1063
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 2: Every game makes you look at it, even the losses afterwards,

1064
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 2: and it makes you go, dude, they could have easily

1065
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,800
Speaker 2: won this game. They don't feel like they're that far off.

1066
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 2: That is probably the most likely path. Now, whether they

1067
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 2: whether they're plus three or minus three in the one

1068
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 2: possession outcome will determine whether Napier's the coach of the

1069
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 2: year or he's on the hot seat. By the way,

1070
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 2: the margins being that thin is a perfect illustration of

1071
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 2: why hot seat talk is normally nonsensical and full of

1072
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 2: emotion instead of logic. There is also the path where

1073
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 2: they get totally derailed by injury and he has a

1074
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 2: really bad record. But you could reasonably say, well, given

1075
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 2: the injuries, no one could have won this year. So

1076
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 2: any of a number of those could happen. I think

1077
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 2: it's an eight on the boldness scale only because I

1078
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:23,399
Speaker 2: know it doesn't matter what gets said in summer once

1079
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 2: the live bullets start flying in the fall, and once

1080
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 2: emotion floods into the equation. We've seen it too many times.

1081
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:35,439
Speaker 2: I never make definitive statements on this stuff. I don't

1082
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 2: normally do it during the season. I don't ever root

1083
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,399
Speaker 2: for it. I don't normally make them during the season, though,

1084
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 2: So I'll tell you, like I've told you a few times,

1085
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 2: that is an organization down there that has its act together.

1086
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 2: The records haven't been what you want them to be yet.

1087
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 2: It is not for lack of purposeful direction. I personally

1088
00:53:56,560 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 2: feel that they know what they're doing. Having said that,

1089
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 2: it is a results oriented business and you've got to

1090
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 2: deliver or no amount of people talking positively about you

1091
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 2: in a microphone or you talking positively about yourself at

1092
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 2: press conferences is gonna matter. Everybody gets that. Billy Napier

1093
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 2: gets that. So we'll see, we will see. They're watching

1094
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 2: us in Raleigh, North Carolina, West Bend, Wisconsin. I've never

1095
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 2: been to West Bend, been to a South Bend, not

1096
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 2: a West Bend and Prescott Valley, Arizona.

1097
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 1: Thank you guys so much. We have a.

1098
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 2: Conundrum on our hands that we as a college football

1099
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:35,760
Speaker 2: public need to solve. U Man, I missed it again.

1100
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:38,720
Speaker 2: Let me take a little swig from the public spring

1101
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 2: water jug. All right, we're gonna have to put ourselves

1102
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 2: in the shoes of a fan base here, Colin, we

1103
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 2: got the Penn State. Yeah, so here's the Penn State tweet.

1104
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 2: El Capiten Day Crunch from Millsburg, PA. How can you

1105
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 2: love big noon kickoff when it's gonna rob Penn State

1106
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 2: of doing the white out for Ohio State yet again? Well,

1107
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 2: I can love big noon kickoff and also feel really

1108
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,880
Speaker 2: bad for you guys. That's how he is talking about

1109
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 2: my love for noon kickoffs. I've been to a couple

1110
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 2: of noon kickoffs and Happy Valley, by the way, I've

1111
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 2: also been to a primetime whiteout in Happy Valley. I

1112
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 2: want exceptions to my rules. I don't hold many hard

1113
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 2: and fast rules in my personal stance on college football.

1114
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 2: This is why you guys just need to elect me

1115
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 2: commissioner and be done with it. That way, I can

1116
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:35,240
Speaker 2: insert myself when I need to into this ridiculous world

1117
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:39,960
Speaker 2: of TV contracts. TV contracts should work around college football.

1118
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 2: College football should not be working around TV contracts. You

1119
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 2: should not have these rigid guidelines and templates where in

1120
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 2: Fox I love you, guys can come in and elbow

1121
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:55,360
Speaker 2: Penn State out of being able to make whichever game

1122
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 2: they want to.

1123
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 1: They're wide out Ohio State.

1124
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 2: For those unfamiliar with what we're talking about out there,

1125
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 2: Ohio State comes in there November two, and if they

1126
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 2: had their way, Penn State would make that thing a

1127
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 2: seven thirty primetime kickoff, and they wouldn't really care which

1128
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 2: network it is, but just give them the night game.

1129
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 2: Sun goes down, the whites come out. You know, in retrospect,

1130
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 2: I want to have said that a different way.

1131
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:21,800
Speaker 1: Sun goes down.

1132
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 2: White shirts come out by the hundreds of thousands, and

1133
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 2: they get their white out. It's a great spectacle, it's wonderful,

1134
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 2: everyone loves it. Well, that's not gonna happen in all likelihood.

1135
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 2: Now we're holding out hope. There's like a two percent

1136
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 2: chance that still happens, because Oregon Michigan happens that same day,

1137
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 2: and maybe our friends over at fox Head to ann

1138
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 2: Arbor and somehow, some way, the Ohio State games the

1139
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 2: primetime kick Much more likely is the scenario where the

1140
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 2: Illinois games the white out and no one cares. Outside

1141
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 2: of those two programs, no one really cares. It's a shame.

1142
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 2: It is a shame.

1143
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 1: And you're talking to someone here who loves noon kickoffs.

1144
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 1: I love them.

1145
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 2: I love them, and I fully support them. However, there

1146
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 2: are exceptions to the rule. Just like I don't like

1147
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 2: neutral site games, but one of my favorites is Texas OU.

1148
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 2: It's just an exception to my rule. I couldn't care

1149
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 2: less if they move Florida, Georgia to home and home,

1150
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:19,439
Speaker 2: but Texas OU is an exception to my rule. Well,

1151
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 2: this is an exception to my noon rule. I was

1152
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 2: up there for the whiteout game when they played Auburn

1153
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago.

1154
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: And here's how bad it is for me.

1155
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 2: I had a five forty five am flight out of Pittsburgh.

1156
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:34,720
Speaker 1: I never went to a hotel.

1157
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 2: It is so tough to get out of State College,

1158
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 2: especially to drive that distance. Maybe it was Harrisburg.

1159
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: Anyway, I had a five to forty five am flight.

1160
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 2: The game kicks off at seven point thirty, doesn't really

1161
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 2: go long or anything like that I stay for press conferences,

1162
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 2: we do our couple of CBS hits. I get in

1163
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 2: traffic for untold amounts of hours. I go straight to

1164
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 2: the airport and was afraid I was going to miss

1165
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 2: my flight. So that is why selfishly, I love the

1166
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 2: noon kickoffs because I love getting home same day. But

1167
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 2: I know that you guys couldn't care less about that

1168
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 2: because most of you live there, so you're not having

1169
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 2: to get back to Nashville, Tennessee. And what I want

1170
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 2: my personal life shouldn't matter here, But in this case,

1171
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 2: I'm even willing to overrule my own wishes.

1172
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 1: I do want the.

1173
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 2: Ohio State game to be the white out game, and

1174
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 2: I wish I wish TV.

1175
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 1: Here's what I wish. I know what the TV contracts say.

1176
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 2: I wish there were people who love college football enough

1177
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 2: and understood what makes the product valuable enough for you

1178
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:36,480
Speaker 2: to bid all these untold millions of dollars on it.

1179
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:40,440
Speaker 2: That you had some flexibility, like you baked in flexibility,

1180
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 2: and it would take it would take congruency, and it

1181
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 2: would take cooperative appeasement on multiple network sides.

1182
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 1: But that's what happens anyway.

1183
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 2: Like when they get in a room for the draft

1184
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 2: and they take the games they're going to take. It's

1185
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 2: not like they don't already work together or at least coexist.

1186
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 2: I just wish, I wish there was a world where

1187
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 2: we had an understanding that, yeah, even though we have

1188
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 2: the rights and we could make this game a noon games,

1189
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 2: let's make it a primetime game. And you know what,

1190
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 2: let's keep it on our network. Let's be able to

1191
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 2: have that block of airtime for one week. And if

1192
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,439
Speaker 2: we have to work on barter, we have to work

1193
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 2: on trade or whatever.

1194
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 1: I just.

1195
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 2: It's the greatest sport in the world for a reason.

1196
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:31,960
Speaker 2: You guys bid the amounts of money you do for

1197
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 2: a reason. You should be able to figure it out.

1198
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 2: Now here's the trade off. Maybe Penn State doesn't get

1199
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 2: their way on the white Out, they make the playoff

1200
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 2: and then they have a home playoff game and that

1201
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 2: ends up being the white Out.

1202
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 1: That would be.

1203
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 2: Wonderful, although it's not currently on the schedule. That would

1204
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 2: be wonderful. Next up on the show tonight. Yes, there

1205
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 2: are pressing current issues that I have to address. What

1206
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 2: did I just say, Colin? I said, the sun goes down,

1207
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:02,480
Speaker 2: the whites come out. Oh, it's gonna look how many

1208
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 2: times will it be thrown in my face? And I

1209
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 2: don't mean by my enemies, I mean by friends of mine.

1210
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 1: The friends are.

1211
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 2: The ones that just dagger you in the ribs the first.

1212
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 2: So I know that's gonna be used against me this week.

1213
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 2: Who can get the most creative on the context. That's

1214
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 2: the question. See here's what would happen. If we were

1215
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 2: on regular TV. I would have to be issuing an

1216
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:27,920
Speaker 2: apology right now. But we're not. We're on www Dot Internet,

1217
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 2: and so it's wild West as anything goes out here.

1218
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 2: One more swig by the way from the jug if

1219
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 2: you don't mind, Yes, I saw the video from earlier

1220
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 2: this weekend. Let's show me the tweet.

1221
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:42,640
Speaker 1: First.

1222
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 2: Colin George hit me up and said, Hey, you got

1223
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 2: to talk about Texas bringing out the Lambos for the

1224
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 2: new recruits. That is, Lamborghini's to the unwashed out there.

1225
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 2: If you're driving your Toyota camera, God bless you, you're

1226
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 2: probably not gonna find yourself in a Lamborghini anytime soon.

1227
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 2: But if you're a seventeen year old and you're taking

1228
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 2: an official visit to Texas, there's no shortage. I have

1229
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 2: visited every inch of Texas's football facilities and stadium. I

1230
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 2: did not see this when I was there, though we

1231
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 2: were looking at video from this past weekend.

1232
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 1: They had a.

1233
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 2: Fairly big official visit weekend, although they have some bigger

1234
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 2: ones coming up, and I shudder to think of what

1235
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 2: the display will look like. Lamborghini's as far as the

1236
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:24,920
Speaker 2: eye can see, like what cicadas were to Nashville over

1237
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 2: the past month and a half. Lamborghinis were to Austin,

1238
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 2: Texas for official visitors in town this past weekend.

1239
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 1: Well, everyone wanted to know what do you think about that?

1240
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 2: Sor ow old friend Shan and Terry say this needs

1241
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 2: to be taken out of college football recruiting. Hey, I

1242
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 2: got personal thoughts on this. My personal feeling is I

1243
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 2: hate it. My personal feeling is I wish nobody cared

1244
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:48,919
Speaker 2: about it. You know, I wish it wasn't attractive because

1245
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:50,920
Speaker 2: it has nothing to do with your football career. So

1246
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 2: I wish I wish it was almost a thing that

1247
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 2: players looked at and said, what a y'all doing that for?

1248
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:58,840
Speaker 2: Show me how you're gonna use me, Like, show me

1249
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 2: how you're gonna develop me. I wish that was the

1250
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 2: recruiting process. It's not okay. These are my personal wishes.

1251
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 2: I would love to see the focus placed elsewhere. I'm

1252
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 2: attracted to the kind of player that's turned off by that.

1253
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 2: That's my personal feel. Now here's a follow up to that.

1254
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter how I feel. And I readily acknowledge

1255
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:20,440
Speaker 2: that I've had many different things on this show that

1256
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 2: I don't like, and then I've had to admit.

1257
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter that I don't like it. I'm

1258
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 1: not seventeen.

1259
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 2: I'm not being recruited by Texas, and if that appeals,

1260
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 2: if that works for them, I'd do it if I

1261
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:34,680
Speaker 2: were them, if I knew it would work. Now I

1262
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 2: know good and well there are folks on that staff

1263
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 2: that are doing it and beating their chest about it

1264
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 2: cause they're Texas, who if they worked at Middle Tennessee

1265
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 2: State would be speaking out loudly against it.

1266
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 1: So let's all be real about what's happening here.

1267
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 2: You can flex that way because you're Texas and there's

1268
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 2: nothing illegal about it, so flex away. I spoke personally

1269
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:56,160
Speaker 2: and said I hate it, but I'm also speaking on

1270
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:57,880
Speaker 2: the other side of the fence, in the side that

1271
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 2: understands It doesn't really matter how I feel about it.

1272
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 2: If it works, it works. Here is what I feel

1273
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 2: in a broader sense, I feel like I like to

1274
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 2: let the market of ideas and results just play itself out.

1275
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,480
Speaker 2: So right now, Texas is selling this kind of in

1276
01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 2: an over the top manner because a lot of this

1277
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 2: is new. The ability to operate in act like this

1278
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 2: is kind of new. So Texas knows their Texas, and

1279
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 2: so Texas knows we got deeper pockets and all of you,

1280
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 2: why don't we emphasize that on a kid's recruiting visit cool,

1281
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 2: Let it play out.

1282
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 1: Let it play out.

1283
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 2: If Texas brings kids in who are attracted to that,

1284
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 2: and then they went in titles with them, Texas is

1285
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 2: the genius in the room. Having said that, if Texas

1286
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 2: brings them in and they underachieve with it, then all

1287
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 2: of a sudden, it won't take you hating on them.

1288
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 2: Texas internally will look around and say, how about we

1289
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:57,000
Speaker 2: get down to the meat and potatoes of football and

1290
01:03:57,040 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 2: stop using this foolishness to attract kids. Maybe we're using

1291
01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 2: the wrong bait to attract the wrong kind of recruit.

1292
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:07,200
Speaker 2: It's happened before. It's happened before. Let the results speak,

1293
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:09,880
Speaker 2: because they will at the end of the day. Yet

1294
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 2: another thing, though, that we'll probably laugh at in ten years.

1295
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 2: This whole era, this whole five to six to seven

1296
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 2: year period, when it's revisited a decade down the road,

1297
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 2: is going to have so many pages in these chapters

1298
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 2: that make you laugh. You will not even believe it.

1299
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 2: This will be one of them. Someone will dust this

1300
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 2: off a decade down the road, when everything's mainstreamed and

1301
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 2: everything is about revenue sharing, and it's almost an afterthought

1302
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 2: kind of trying to pitch the idea of money in

1303
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 2: the recruiting process because it's already understood. Hey, I'm going

1304
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 2: to Texas as a left tackle as a freshman. I

1305
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 2: already know what I'm gonna make because of the revenue

1306
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 2: share cut. And if I can get a little nil

1307
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 2: above and beyond that, that's wonderful. But it'll almost be

1308
01:04:56,200 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 2: an afterthought and everything will be streamlined to the point

1309
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 2: where you'll look back and you'll say, dude, you remember

1310
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 2: how wild it was less than a decade ago. Look

1311
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 2: at this video from Austin. Look at what Florida did. Like,

1312
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 2: Texas is not alone in this. They may be the

1313
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 2: ones trotting out burnt orange lamborghineas They're not the only

1314
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 2: ones who have done this sort of stuff. If it

1315
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 2: appeals to you, it appeals to you. And what I

1316
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 2: don't think it appealed to me as a recruit. It

1317
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:27,320
Speaker 2: doesn't appeal to all recruits. It does appeal to some.

1318
01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 2: Some of them go there specifically for the photo op

1319
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:32,000
Speaker 2: and they won't land at Texas. There are some kids

1320
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 2: who will play at Texas who couldn't care less about that.

1321
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:37,479
Speaker 2: It's just it's a buffet. You got to be able

1322
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 2: to serve everyone in recruiting. You got to be able

1323
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 2: to serve everyone. You're not recruiting a monolith of players.

1324
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:46,200
Speaker 2: They're not all cut from the exact same cloth, but.

1325
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 1: You do. I don't know how I want to state this.

1326
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 2: Steve Sarkesia's job, the folks at Texas's job jobs collectively

1327
01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:58,560
Speaker 2: are to win at Texas.

1328
01:05:58,560 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 1: That's their job.

1329
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 2: Their job, at the end of the day is not

1330
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 2: to be looking out for the greater good of the sport.

1331
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 2: Having said that, I wish all major programs would anyway,

1332
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:11,280
Speaker 2: so you got a chance over the next decade to

1333
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 2: make the recruiting process smarter than it's ever been. Kids

1334
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 2: are about to make more money than they've ever made

1335
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 2: before playing this game. That's guaranteed, not because you're paying them,

1336
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 2: but because inclusion in the conference you play in guarantees

1337
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:26,720
Speaker 2: them a cut of the revenue. And you've got a

1338
01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:32,480
Speaker 2: chance up to make way more players semi generational wealth

1339
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 2: and at the very least help their families a significant

1340
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 2: way that you used to probably not be able to.

1341
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 1: And you got a chance to be smart about it.

1342
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:46,520
Speaker 2: You got a chance to contribute to making the language

1343
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 2: much more educated than it used to be, making the

1344
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 2: literacy of the process a lot more elevated than it

1345
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:56,880
Speaker 2: used to be. That doesn't do it, is the only

1346
01:06:56,920 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 2: thing I'm saying. So if someone at Texas to me

1347
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 2: say that and they say, doesn't matter. That's not our job.

1348
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:05,480
Speaker 2: Our jobs to get kids that we're gonna go win with,

1349
01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:08,760
Speaker 2: I grant you that. Now, I even speaking ill of you,

1350
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:12,040
Speaker 2: I grant you that. I'm just telling you how I, personally,

1351
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:16,440
Speaker 2: in a perfect utopian world, think college football should operate.

1352
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:16,919
Speaker 1: That's all.

1353
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:19,440
Speaker 2: So, Yeah, I watched the video and I smiled when

1354
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 2: I saw It's not like I was angry. It's not

1355
01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:24,200
Speaker 2: like I threw my computer through the wall. But yeah,

1356
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 2: you know, if you ask me yes or no, does

1357
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 2: this appeal to me? Now it doesn't appeal to me.

1358
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 2: Part B, yes or no? Josh, should Texas care? Probably not?

1359
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 2: Probably not. Texas is the second odds on favorite to

1360
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 2: win the SEC. I know that because our friends at

1361
01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:44,600
Speaker 2: FanDuel told me, and they have week one lines already up,

1362
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 2: they have week zero lines already up. They also have

1363
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:55,200
Speaker 2: a number of really really juicy yes no propositions.

1364
01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:57,080
Speaker 1: On the playoff and will your team make it?

1365
01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:00,200
Speaker 2: And so I'm saying all that to tell you if

1366
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 2: you've got like fifteen dollars cash that you found in

1367
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 2: your couch cushions and it's sitting there and you all

1368
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:08,440
Speaker 2: know what to do with it, well, maybe that's what

1369
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 2: you do with it. Maybe look at Texas spam in

1370
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:13,600
Speaker 2: the live chat. I'm not even mad at it. I

1371
01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:18,240
Speaker 2: am not mad at it. Our exclusive odds providers FanDuel,

1372
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 2: and they do a world of good in helping formulate

1373
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:24,160
Speaker 2: a lot of the conversation that we had this time

1374
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 2: of year. Now I am working with them on maybe

1375
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 2: shaping some content totally unique to the show that will

1376
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:34,960
Speaker 2: be coming in the very near future. But in the meantime,

1377
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 2: responsibly go check them out a lot over there. Not

1378
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 2: just college football. You got NBA playoffs happening right now,

1379
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 2: NBA Finals happening right now. Got all sorts of things happening.

1380
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 2: It's fun if nothing else to look at. The numbers

1381
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:51,280
Speaker 2: must be twenty one or over and present in select states.

1409
01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 2: case really good synergy. What is the mood of the

1410
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:33,240
Speaker 2: Alabama fan base? Nick Saban's gone, He's still with us,

1411
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:35,640
Speaker 2: He's not coaching there anymore. Caitlin de Boor is in.

1412
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 2: What is the mood of the Alabama fan base? Not

1413
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 2: the radical ten percent either way, but the middle eighty.

1414
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:43,880
Speaker 2: What's the mood I think The mood could best be

1415
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:47,479
Speaker 2: described as, well, come take it. There is a widely

1416
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:50,840
Speaker 2: held thought out there outside of Tuscaloosa that now that

1417
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 2: Nick Saban's gone, Bama just comes back to the pack

1418
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:57,480
Speaker 2: and they're just another pretty good to really good program.

1419
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:01,799
Speaker 2: And here is here three important world, three really important

1420
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 2: words that I want you to remember. Saban never faded.

1421
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 2: I'll revisit that in a second. Yeah, they lost a

1422
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:11,800
Speaker 2: legend there, Nick Saban, greatest to ever do it, or

1423
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 2: at the very least one of the greatest to ever

1424
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 2: do it. They may have gone and gotten the next one.

1425
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:19,360
Speaker 2: This is the mood of the Alabama fan base. Whether

1426
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 2: you buy into it or not, many will doubt. That's

1427
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 2: the entire point. So if you doubt, if you call

1428
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 2: Kaylin de Boor's validity into question, if you don't think

1429
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:32,360
Speaker 2: they'll recruit at a high level, all the things that

1430
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:34,280
Speaker 2: are being said right now, you're probably saying a lot

1431
01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 2: of them.

1432
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:37,840
Speaker 1: The mood there is Okay, we'll come and take it.

1433
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:41,599
Speaker 2: Because the conference has come through Tuscaloosa for the last

1434
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:45,479
Speaker 2: decade and a half. And so if you're gonna take

1435
01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:48,720
Speaker 2: that alpha position, that's the way you do it.

1436
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:51,120
Speaker 1: You come take it. Georgia would argue they have.

1437
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 2: Bama would say, well, you're one and four against Saban,

1438
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:56,080
Speaker 2: so now we got a new guy here.

1439
01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 1: You come to our building this year, come take it.

1440
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:01,320
Speaker 2: Which is a beautiful attitude, by the way, because that's

1441
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:04,040
Speaker 2: what sports are about. Have we ever seen a better

1442
01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:06,639
Speaker 2: situation get inherited? I was talking to a head coach

1443
01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:09,680
Speaker 2: this spring and he was looking around college football at

1444
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:11,599
Speaker 2: some of the guys who have been fired and other

1445
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:15,040
Speaker 2: ones who have succeeded, and he said, man, people don't

1446
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:20,400
Speaker 2: understand how to properly assess this situation that gets inherited.

1447
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:25,080
Speaker 2: Some places, a guy gets fired, but he leaves a

1448
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:27,640
Speaker 2: really talented roster, he just underachieved with it, and the

1449
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:30,479
Speaker 2: next guy swoops in and he all of a sudden

1450
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:32,400
Speaker 2: just boom knocks it out of the park immediately, and

1451
01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 2: everyone says, oh, look at that turnaround. Well it's not

1452
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:37,960
Speaker 2: as big a turnaround as it looks on the surface. Conversely,

1453
01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:40,719
Speaker 2: you may have a guy that's great, but he comes

1454
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:43,760
Speaker 2: in and takes over a dead in the water situation

1455
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:47,200
Speaker 2: and he's not given enough time to reboot it. This

1456
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:49,479
Speaker 2: right here is as good a situation as you could

1457
01:12:49,479 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 2: ever inherit. I thought one of the most laughable talking

1458
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 2: points out there was, Dude, no one's gonna want to

1459
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:56,200
Speaker 2: No one's gonna want to step in after Nick Saban.

1460
01:12:56,640 --> 01:13:00,000
Speaker 2: As long as Saban didn't fade, as long as Nick's

1461
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 2: they didn't stick around seven years past his prime, as

1462
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:07,000
Speaker 2: long as he didn't let the program slip into roster rot,

1463
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:09,800
Speaker 2: then there are a lot of folks out there who

1464
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:13,440
Speaker 2: are gonna want to take that job, especially alpha competitors.

1465
01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:15,920
Speaker 2: If you look and you know, the infrastructure is still

1466
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 2: top notch, the roster is still top notch, The network

1467
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:22,160
Speaker 2: of operation and what it takes to win in the

1468
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:25,320
Speaker 2: sport is still top notch. The support staff is great.

1469
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:30,280
Speaker 2: Brand visibility second to none. What's the downside, Well, sir,

1470
01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:33,439
Speaker 2: someone said on a talk radio show that you may

1471
01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:35,600
Speaker 2: be scared of taking over for a legend. That's not

1472
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:38,599
Speaker 2: how they think. They want to know the situationals. They

1473
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 2: want to know that they have all those boxes checked,

1474
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:43,799
Speaker 2: Kaylin de boor does who's ever inherited a more ready

1475
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,679
Speaker 2: made to win situation in major college football?

1476
01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:48,840
Speaker 1: Ryan Day comes to mind.

1477
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:52,000
Speaker 2: Kirby didn't even inherit this good situation, and he went

1478
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:54,840
Speaker 2: to Georgia after Mark Richt, and the situation wasn't even

1479
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:55,240
Speaker 2: this good.

1480
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:57,240
Speaker 1: Seba never faded.

1481
01:13:57,760 --> 01:13:59,519
Speaker 2: Those are three of the most important words I want

1482
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:02,640
Speaker 2: you to rem because that's at the forefront of the attitude.

1483
01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:02,880
Speaker 1: There.

1484
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:07,160
Speaker 2: Saban stepped away, still in his prime. Nick Saban literally

1485
01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:10,040
Speaker 2: was an overtime away from playing for a national championship

1486
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:14,720
Speaker 2: and then retired. So the program didn't fade. All due respect,

1487
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:17,599
Speaker 2: you weren't looking at a Bobby Bowden situation. You're looking

1488
01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:19,920
Speaker 2: at Saban, who could still do it five more years

1489
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:22,040
Speaker 2: if he wanted to, at a very high level. But

1490
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 2: he stepped away, which means he got the plane going

1491
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:28,600
Speaker 2: five hundred miles an hour and then parachuted out. But

1492
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 2: he handed you the stick before he did. Now, if

1493
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 2: you crash it, you crash it. But if you crash it,

1494
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:35,800
Speaker 2: it'll be because you weren't good enough. It won't be

1495
01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 2: because it was in a nose dive when you already

1496
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:41,800
Speaker 2: took over. The attitude should be nothing less in Alabama

1497
01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 2: than we're gonna stay on top until someone comes and

1498
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:49,160
Speaker 2: takes it from us. So they played Georgia in week four.

1499
01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:51,599
Speaker 2: They go to Wisconsin the week before they played Georgia

1500
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:55,439
Speaker 2: in Week four. I don't know what the context will

1501
01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:59,960
Speaker 2: be down the road, let's say twenty twenty eight, but people,

1502
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:02,800
Speaker 2: we'll still be talking about that Georgia game in Week

1503
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:05,400
Speaker 2: four this year in twenty twenty eight. Now, it may

1504
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:09,920
Speaker 2: be that Georgia has long since disposed of Alabama and

1505
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:13,320
Speaker 2: they are the unequivocal king of college football at that point,

1506
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:16,400
Speaker 2: and they say, remember that day in September of twenty

1507
01:15:16,479 --> 01:15:19,360
Speaker 2: twenty four, that's when we really drove a dagger through

1508
01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:22,439
Speaker 2: the heart of Alabama. Could be saying that. You could

1509
01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:26,320
Speaker 2: be saying, remember when Saban stepped away. Georgia comes in

1510
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:28,840
Speaker 2: as about a field goal favorite in Bryant Denny, and

1511
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:30,880
Speaker 2: they think that's going to be the moment that they

1512
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 2: permanently ascended the top. And then we beat them, and

1513
01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:36,519
Speaker 2: it was just more of the same they and they

1514
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:39,599
Speaker 2: had to constantly keep us in the corner of their eye.

1515
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:41,880
Speaker 1: Who knows, who knows how we're talking about it.

1516
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 2: That is why they play the games or less than

1517
01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 2: one hundred days away from that.

1518
