0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:31.039
<v Speaker 1>a lot, I'm like blown away by the response that

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:34.479
<v Speaker 1>we've gotten here in the early going, I've been pretty

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 1>active on the discord server that came as part of

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:42.400
<v Speaker 1>the Patreon subscription, and just been talking to folks who

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.399
<v Speaker 1>are subscribing. Everyone's excited about it. Everyone's thrilled to be

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 1>there and you know, be building this community with us.

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 1>So thus far it's been really exhilarating.

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you've been pretty loose with the the behind the

0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 2>scenes kimono over there on the Discord server. I appreciate that, Tie,

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.200
<v Speaker 2>This is what I'm excited for. I'm excited to peel

0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 2>that back for people who are super into the show

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 2>and like to see how the sausage is made. I

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 2>know these are all words that are deeply uncomfortable when

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 2>paired together, Tie, but it's it's quite fun. The bonus

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 2>brewin a we did for patrons where we touched on

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 2>SEC defenses, we touched on Clemson and there perhaps acc problem.

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:23.079
<v Speaker 2>You revealed some uncomfortable details about the mysterious day job.

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:24.519
<v Speaker 1>It's true, it's true.

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, when I say uncomfortable, you are visibly in

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 2>full HD, full ten ADP, uncomfortable, squirming, writhing.

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I didn't Yeah, I was writhing. I didn't know. I

0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't recognize until I went back and watched the video,

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 1>how uncomfortable I looked it was. It was palpable.

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's worth a few bucks, isn't it?

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Isn't it?

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:45.959
<v Speaker 2>Tie?

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:49.919
<v Speaker 1>It depends on your perspective. But yeah, we're doing We're

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>doing a lot of cool stuff out there for Ballers

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>dot Com. We'll continue talking about it throughout the course

0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.680
<v Speaker 1>of the show, but thus far, the reaction to it

0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 1>has been far beyond anything we could have predicted, and

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 1>we're so soreful.

0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.919
<v Speaker 2>If you want, there's there's a couple of different tiers. Uh,

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 2>there's a Secret Benefactor tier, which, oh man, that's the

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 2>good stuff that the Secret Benefactor Tier. Also, if there's

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.639
<v Speaker 2>somebody out there who wants to be a free video consultant,

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:22.720

<v Speaker 1>slash solid verbal. If you are listening to us now,

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.200
<v Speaker 1>don't forget what we're gonna get into our news here.

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:12.440
<v Speaker 1>So the complexion of the weekend has changed dramatically since

0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:16.160
<v Speaker 1>we did the Wednesday show. But as you're watching Select

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 1>your Gord Saturday, don't forget to give us a phone

0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:23.039
<v Speaker 1>call at four zero eight verbal one. That's four oh

0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:26.599
<v Speaker 1>eight eight three seven two two five one. Get your

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.840
<v Speaker 1>reverbs in again. We can't guarantee we're gonna play them all,

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:31.720
<v Speaker 1>but we do our best to cut them down into

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:33.599
<v Speaker 1>like a three and a half four minute clip. Ryan

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>does an outstanding job of that. Oh yeah, and we

0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:40.600
<v Speaker 1>play them on Sundays. It's everyone's favorite segment, our reaction segment. Dan.

0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, I'm adding the reverb line to our Twitter profile,

0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:49.160
<v Speaker 2>the reverb phone number, just to leave no.

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:52.599
<v Speaker 1>Doubt, leave no doubt herman run it up. All right,

0:04:53.360 --> 0:05:00.040
<v Speaker 1>let's get to news. We had real breaking news. I

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.440
<v Speaker 1>don't want to do it the disservice of the falsetto

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 1>because then it's almost cartoonish. This is very serious what

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:10.280
<v Speaker 1>we've got going on here. So postponements are not anything

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:13.840
<v Speaker 1>new at this point, right. Florida Ellis's a pretty high

0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:17.839
<v Speaker 1>profile one, right, we previewed it. It wasn't until like

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:22.400
<v Speaker 1>I think, Wednesday, naturally, after we released the last podcast,

0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 1>that they made it official. Of course, there is a

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.040
<v Speaker 1>bit of an ironic spin to it, seeing as how

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Dan Mullen wanted a packed house at the swamp the

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 1>ultimate story of twenty twenty here, as this game is

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>going to be postponed, we're not going to get it.

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:38.680
<v Speaker 1>We hope everyone's okay, who has it?

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, December twelfth, I think is the date, right, That's

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 2>where they're That's what I saw too. Yeah, Okay.

0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>The bigger story though, I guess around the world of

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:51.560
<v Speaker 1>college football is at Nick Saban and athletic director at

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Alabama Greg Byrne both tested positive for the coronavirus. So

0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Nick Saban did an interview shortly thereafter. He was on

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.320
<v Speaker 1>camera he said, look, you okay. It was a surprise

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 1>to me that I tested positive, but I got the

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:08.039
<v Speaker 1>news and now I'm in isolation at home. This is

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:11.400
<v Speaker 1>obviously a big story in like eight different levels, not

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the least of which is perhaps the most prominent coach

0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.000
<v Speaker 1>in college football has contracted this disease which has upended

0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 1>so much of our everyday lives here, not just here,

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>but around the world.

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for sure.

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:26.520
<v Speaker 1>As a secondary point to that, this is kind of

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:32.000
<v Speaker 1>on the eve generally speaking of the biggest game of

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:36.560
<v Speaker 1>the year for the Alabama Crimson Tide against the George Bulldogs.

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.920
<v Speaker 1>It's a matchup of number two versus number three. There

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 1>is obviously a ton of doubt now with regard to

0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 1>how is this going to work for Alabama, Who's coaching

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Are they going to come up with some setup for

0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Nick Saban so that he can still participate in the

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:54.000
<v Speaker 1>game planning and the game day decision making. A lot,

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.520
<v Speaker 1>I think remains to be seen at time of recording here,

0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:58.359
<v Speaker 1>but this is a big deal. Then it's a huge

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 1>to the line if you are interested in such things.

0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:06.000
<v Speaker 1>When we record, so when we saw the open it

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:07.920
<v Speaker 1>was at four and a half by the time we

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:11.120
<v Speaker 1>recorded the Wednesday preview show, it had gone up to

0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:14.360
<v Speaker 1>about six and a half. In the immediate aftermath of

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 1>this news becoming public, I saw it dipped all the

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 1>way down to three three and a half, So clearly

0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:22.400
<v Speaker 1>something that is weighing on on the minds of not

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.280
<v Speaker 1>just college football fans and humans in general, but certainly

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:26.600
<v Speaker 1>college football betters alike.

0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Absolutely, And I don't know if I've seen anything

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 2>indicating he is symptomatic on any level. So we're happy

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:37.680
<v Speaker 2>about that if that is pointing to the fact that

0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 2>he's feeling okay and just quarantining and hopefully he's going

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 2>to be fine throughout the process. Alabama was on the

0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 2>road certainly the Florida situation. Scott Strickland, the Florida a

0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:52.000
<v Speaker 2>D pointed to the fact that travel may have caused

0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.600
<v Speaker 2>the issues that cropped up in Gainesville. So both of

0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 2>these teams were on the road, and LSU was as well,

0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 2>but Florida was the team with issues. Seems there. I

0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 2>did see he'll be able to sort of run practice remotely,

0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.880
<v Speaker 2>but he will have no ability to communicate with anybody

0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:13.560
<v Speaker 2>on the team, coaches, players, whatever. For ninety minutes before

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 2>the game and the duration of the game. So okay,

0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:22.760
<v Speaker 2>unless that is skirted somehow through nefarious means, it's going

0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:26.560
<v Speaker 2>to be a sark Alabama game day experience, for better

0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:30.200
<v Speaker 2>or for worse, and sark with control. The Alabama offense

0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 2>has been damn amazing record setting. Even so, Alabama's offense

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 2>in good hands. We'll see about the game day stuff,

0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.320
<v Speaker 2>will see about end game decision making for Alabama. But

0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.280
<v Speaker 2>I think the most important thing here is Nick Saban,

0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:45.280
<v Speaker 2>who was very publicly, you know, asking for people to

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.840
<v Speaker 2>remain vigilant so the season could continue a pace. He

0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.520
<v Speaker 2>himself now came down with it, and I assume he

0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.400
<v Speaker 2>was as careful as can be, but it just sort

0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.120
<v Speaker 2>of goes to show that everybody's susceptible. So I hope

0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 2>he's all right and hope everything is able to move

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 2>forward for Alabama. But huge, huge still came by the way,

0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.880
<v Speaker 2>this came on the heels of me saying SEC has

0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.840
<v Speaker 2>done a pretty good job. And I guess everybody does

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.560
<v Speaker 2>a good job until they don't. And I guess if

0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 2>there's any sort of silver lining to this that we've

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 2>had programs, you know, in the sun Belt and the

0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:21.720
<v Speaker 2>big twelve, but not enormous programs have cancelations. Florida LSU

0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:28.319
<v Speaker 2>and Nick Saban having their weekends canceled, postponed whatever hopefully

0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 2>serves as a wake up call to not just the

0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.640
<v Speaker 2>teams that are playing to just stay vigilant, but also

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 2>the teams who are about to start and come back

0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:36.560
<v Speaker 2>and begin playing. No.

0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.520
<v Speaker 1>I think that's fair. I think that's fair, And you know,

0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:43.079
<v Speaker 1>we'll continue to watch this as it progresses. I am

0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:47.120
<v Speaker 1>not totally convinced that there won't be some sort of

0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:51.320
<v Speaker 1>like Oculus Go set up for Nick Saban where he's

0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:56.560
<v Speaker 1>on the sidelines virtually, or some sort of cryptic How.

0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Do you monitor something like that? That's the interesting thing

0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 2>to me, Like how do you monitor Nobody set up

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:04.120
<v Speaker 2>to monitor that? Come on, like Nick Saban could very

0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.160
<v Speaker 2>easily get patched through right to the headsets.

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Bill Belichick's online one. He's got some ideas. I guarantee

0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 1>you that they can find some way if they want to.

0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 1>I need to investigate more why he's unable Why in

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:18.439
<v Speaker 1>trick kit.

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, so Nick Saban. Okay, here's the way

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 2>you skirt it. Nick Saban does not communicate with the team.

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Nick Saban has a plant in the stadium, he has

0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:28.320
<v Speaker 2>an in between or time.

0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:30.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so he's.

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Not communicating with the team, He's communicating with somebody who's

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:34.120
<v Speaker 2>communicating with the team.

0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Plausible deniability the other thought that crossed my mind. I

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:38.720
<v Speaker 1>know they used to do this in a lot of

0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.280
<v Speaker 1>corporate settings. It was more of a proof of concept.

0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:45.400
<v Speaker 1>But you know, some companies like Cisco would offer like

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:49.240
<v Speaker 1>a robot that somebody who was working remotely could control

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.880
<v Speaker 1>and go through the hallways, and it was like, yes,

0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:57.000
<v Speaker 1>of course, your telepresence mm hmm. It wasn't always the

0:10:57.040 --> 0:11:00.120
<v Speaker 1>most effective thing, but it was kind of neat, and

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.400
<v Speaker 1>why not have a robotic Saban. He's sort of a

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.600
<v Speaker 1>robot anyway, wouldn't be that big a departure.

0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. He Also if Sark wears a mask the entire

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.240
<v Speaker 2>time or most of the crucial times, you won't be

0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.440
<v Speaker 2>able to read his lips. If he says something like Nick,

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.640
<v Speaker 2>what should we do here? Because he'll be wearing a mask.

0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.240
<v Speaker 1>What about Nick Saban wearing a Sark mask? I think

0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:26.160
<v Speaker 1>then he and dangers like wear like I'm impossible style. Yeah,

0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.719
<v Speaker 1>with the skin that peels, you.

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Know, as somebody who is tested positive. I still don't

0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:34.040
<v Speaker 2>think that's all that thoughtful. No, Okay, be on the

0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:37.440
<v Speaker 2>sideline wearing a fake Sark skin mask.

0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Ty come on, Tye, let's I'm an idea guy, Dan,

0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:42.480
<v Speaker 1>this is what I do.

0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:44.600
<v Speaker 2>I understand, I understand.

0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:45.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking more.

0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:50.319
<v Speaker 2>Maybe Nick Saban uses the Mission Impossible style voice changer.

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:54.040
<v Speaker 2>So whatever voice is off the line, if the SEC

0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:58.960
<v Speaker 2>is monitoring the Alabama headset situation, that it's a voice

0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:02.000
<v Speaker 2>changer where it's just like, you know, a deeply British

0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.440
<v Speaker 2>communicator saying we should go for on four. Isn't it

0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:06.480
<v Speaker 2>something like that?

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Right?

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:10.600
<v Speaker 2>So that's the way, that's the way to me, obviously,

0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:13.439
<v Speaker 2>if Nick Saban is healthy and everybody's good to skirt

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:14.080
<v Speaker 2>the issue.

0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Some other quick kidbits here before we get into our

0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:23.520
<v Speaker 1>undaunted Friday orbit. Yes, I saw that the NCAA has

0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:27.880
<v Speaker 1>granted an extra year of eligibility for all winter sport athletes,

0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.960
<v Speaker 1>and they are also avoiding the rule that you need

0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:32.880
<v Speaker 1>to be five hundred to qualify for a bowl game.

0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:40.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's only seventy eight spots, I believe. So there

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:44.320
<v Speaker 2>are years where there are reasons a team is five

0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.600
<v Speaker 2>and seven or four and eight and finish really strong

0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.400
<v Speaker 2>and become really interesting, and maybe they get a quarterback

0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 2>back who wasn't there at the early part of the

0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:53.680
<v Speaker 2>season that maybe it's a major program. I don't know.

0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.240
<v Speaker 2>I remember what Nebraska a couple of years ago where

0:12:56.440 --> 0:13:00.959
<v Speaker 2>they finished an interesting four and eight. That's a shirt

0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 2>that we should make for Nebraska fans, an interesting foreign eight.

0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:06.800
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I mean, I guess it's a little bit

0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.040
<v Speaker 2>more of a wild Wild West Bowl scenario. Let's just

0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:09.840
<v Speaker 2>get through this week.

0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.960
<v Speaker 1>And speaking of which, Texas Tech has turned it over

0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:19.800
<v Speaker 1>to Henry Colomby and his wonderful head of hair Columbe.

0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 1>However you say it.

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 2>I looked it up.

0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:25.880
<v Speaker 1>It's Colombie Colombie, Okay. He is taking over for British

0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:27.680
<v Speaker 1>comedy legend Alan Bowman.

0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Possibly COLUMBI. I know it's something like Colombo, but with

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:31.600
<v Speaker 2>an eye.

0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.960
<v Speaker 1>He has completed seventy four percent of his passes thus

0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:39.440
<v Speaker 1>far for three touchdowns, and he's played pretty well, I

0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:43.079
<v Speaker 1>think in a relief effort when our boy, British comedy

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:44.600
<v Speaker 1>legend Alan Bowman has been injured.

0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, he's interesting. Transferred from Utah State. I do

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:52.479
<v Speaker 2>have breaking news, TI like legit breaking news. Please Cincinnati,

0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Tulsa has been postponed. Okay for the athletic Cincinnati and

0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:00.840
<v Speaker 2>the athletic college football team, So one of those matches

0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:02.960
<v Speaker 2>I think I was looking forward to after Tulsa's win

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 2>against UCF and Cincinnati's strong start to the season. So

0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.840
<v Speaker 2>that's a bummer. Hopefully everybody's okay.

0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:16.040
<v Speaker 1>There, I said, undaunted Friday, Orbit at the top, Dan,

0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 1>this is an honor of pluckiness, not just in college football,

0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:24.400
<v Speaker 1>but in our solar system, in our universe.

0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Is there a sound under us right now that I

0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:30.360
<v Speaker 2>don't know about it? There's okay, good, love it, great,

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:31.000
<v Speaker 2>great job.

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm giving a shout out right now to just some

0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:39.280
<v Speaker 1>of the pluckiness in the solar system and beyond. Let's

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 1>talk about mercury, Dan closest playing it to the Sun.

0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 1>It is blasted constantly by the rays from the Sun,

0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.720
<v Speaker 1>but it keeps trucking hell when it goes in retrograde.

0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Solid wife Kate's talking about things just feeling strange, things

0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.600
<v Speaker 1>feeling a little bit off. Don't know if there's any

0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:01.000
<v Speaker 1>science there. There's definitely a believe there that mercury and

0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:04.800
<v Speaker 1>retrograde they kind of plucky, keeps on tratrograde.

0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Mean, I don't even I'm not smart.

0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:07.320
<v Speaker 1>It's when it spins the other way.

0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:11.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, it's interesting.

0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, how about Pluto? Is Pluto a planet? Well, it

0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:19.800
<v Speaker 1>used to be not anymore, got demoted then dwarf planet,

0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.440
<v Speaker 1>but then it got a flyby from one of our satellites,

0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:27.680
<v Speaker 1>got some pictures of it. It looks freaking awesome. It's

0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.160
<v Speaker 1>just out there doing its thing. Man doesn't care what

0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:31.360
<v Speaker 1>we think about it here on Earth.

0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:34.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited for you to figure out how to compare

0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:39.280
<v Speaker 2>excellent photographs of Pluto to an early college football performance.

0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.480
<v Speaker 2>And then we zip all the way down we get

0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:46.160
<v Speaker 2>that like the particle level. I got this from Chief

0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Astrover Buller John mm hmm, who's talking to me this

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.240
<v Speaker 2>week about planet tesibols?

0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm. You know what that is? I didn't, not

0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:58.520
<v Speaker 1>even a little bit. They start off no bigger than

0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:02.160
<v Speaker 1>a grain of sand and a giant disc of other

0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:06.240
<v Speaker 1>grains circulating a star, sort of the violent young days

0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:09.040
<v Speaker 1>of the star. If you will, Okay, maybe they link

0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.640
<v Speaker 1>up with other grains. They get like a snowball thing going.

0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.040
<v Speaker 1>They get bigger and bigger and bigger. Maybe they get

0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:18.480
<v Speaker 1>blasted away by a proto star or something. But maybe

0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.000
<v Speaker 1>they just get bigger and bigger and bigger, and then

0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:24.800
<v Speaker 1>waym they get linked up with another even bigger Plantesmo.

0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, in a way recruiting, I don't know if there's

0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:35.000
<v Speaker 2>like a real connection. I mean, they're recruiting grains coming

0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:37.400
<v Speaker 2>together with a common purpose.

0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I saw more of a conference realignment angle there. But oh,

0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:42.640
<v Speaker 1>I hear what you're saying.

0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:43.280
<v Speaker 2>It also works.

0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:46.720
<v Speaker 1>My point is this, there's pluckiness all around us, and

0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.080
<v Speaker 1>certainly within the world of college football. So what I've

0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:53.840
<v Speaker 1>got here is a list of seven teams that I

0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:57.280
<v Speaker 1>would like, at the end of this discussion to have

0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:01.680
<v Speaker 1>an official power ranking of pluckiness that we.

0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 2>Can go find pluckiness.

0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.840
<v Speaker 1>For me, pluckiness is just gritty. I think you used

0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:08.880
<v Speaker 1>the word last time. They're gritty. I don't so much

0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:14.520
<v Speaker 1>equate it to being a disappointing team per se. But

0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:18.000
<v Speaker 1>let's say teams that perhaps were written off a little

0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:21.000
<v Speaker 1>too soon, that when we did our previews, maybe we

0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.880
<v Speaker 1>didn't take as seriously as we should have, and now

0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.639
<v Speaker 1>we find each and every week they're performing at a

0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:31.880
<v Speaker 1>level high enough to push their competition right you want

0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.440
<v Speaker 1>to talk about it interesting four and eight. A plucky

0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:36.880
<v Speaker 1>team is an interesting four and eight. They might lose

0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:39.640
<v Speaker 1>eight games, but they were in all eight or most

0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:41.560
<v Speaker 1>of those games anyway. They could have won a lot

0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:44.920
<v Speaker 1>of them one score games. A couple bad breaks here

0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:47.000
<v Speaker 1>and there that didn't go their way. But these are

0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:49.639
<v Speaker 1>teams that are probably better than their record would indicate.

0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:55.600
<v Speaker 2>So not full on ball of fire, but sparks are flying, correct.

0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:58.560
<v Speaker 2>There's embers embers afoot.

0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:01.359
<v Speaker 1>There are embers a foot. So let me start here. Okay,

0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:03.720
<v Speaker 1>let's start with an obvious one from what we saw

0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:07.000
<v Speaker 1>a week ago. Let's talk about ole Miss.

0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Ole Miss obviously a new coach going into the year

0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:17.320
<v Speaker 1>with Liane Kiffin. They have changed up their offense and

0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:19.760
<v Speaker 1>they are running with an alarming tempo at this point.

0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:21.639
<v Speaker 1>Not to say they didn't do that before, but what

0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I saw against Alabama is like NASCAR level crazy, right.

0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Didn't play any defense, per our friend Roger Sherman, forty

0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:30.720
<v Speaker 1>one yards.

0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:32.840
<v Speaker 2>Of defense prevention.

0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, resistance knob all the way down. They're one and two.

0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:43.119
<v Speaker 1>They scored thirty five points on Florida. They straight up

0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:46.800
<v Speaker 1>beat Kentucky on the road and They scored forty eight

0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:50.000
<v Speaker 1>against what we thought was a really good Alabama defense.

0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:53.360
<v Speaker 1>So they don't play much defense for themselves, but it's

0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:55.880
<v Speaker 1>apparent that they can score and they're fun to watch.

0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:59.439
<v Speaker 1>They're going to be hard out. How do you feel

0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:02.800
<v Speaker 1>about an ole Miss and what they've done so far

0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:09.000
<v Speaker 1>this year versus the Jerky Boys and Boston?

0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:13.199
<v Speaker 2>So I think Boston College better exemplifies your term of

0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:18.800
<v Speaker 2>plucky because Ole Miss does something already excellently. Ole Miss

0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:21.480
<v Speaker 2>doesn't have any like, they're no sparks, there are no

0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:25.560
<v Speaker 2>embers to ole Miss's offense. It's full on fireballs, shooting

0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:31.200
<v Speaker 2>in every direction. There's it's I'm not encouraged by ole

0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:35.040
<v Speaker 2>Miss as a full on growing as a full team

0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:39.120
<v Speaker 2>situation because their defense. There's nothing plucky about their defense.

0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:43.879
<v Speaker 2>So okay, they they fall more into half team, but

0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:49.920
<v Speaker 2>as a complete unit they are. They're plucky television. They're

0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:52.720
<v Speaker 2>exciting television. But I don't know if this full on

0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:56.199
<v Speaker 2>falls under grit or pluck because that implies to me

0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:00.720
<v Speaker 2>improving construction and I don't see that with all Miss

0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:01.880
<v Speaker 2>because the offense is already there.

0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Offense is there that they're a fun watch and you're

0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:10.960
<v Speaker 1>saying a better TV show than necessarily Plucky Team.

0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Right, We're not seeing incremental improvement with ole Miss. Right,

0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:19.840
<v Speaker 2>We're only seeing fireballs shooting in every direction. So we're

0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:24.840
<v Speaker 2>aimless comments. It would be my space comparison. Whereas some

0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:26.720
<v Speaker 2>of the other teams you listed, I feel like, Okay,

0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:28.720
<v Speaker 2>they did this week one and then this week two,

0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:30.600
<v Speaker 2>or they did this in twenty nineteen, and they've improved

0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:32.880
<v Speaker 2>this here, like, oh, this is what they did really

0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:35.159
<v Speaker 2>poorly in twenty nineteen, and they've already showed an ability

0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:37.960
<v Speaker 2>to improve on that in twenty twenty. That to me

0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:39.960
<v Speaker 2>is where the grit and pluck comes from.

0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:44.280
<v Speaker 1>All right, So let's start there and just based on

0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:48.280
<v Speaker 1>those two teams, we'll put BC as our top of

0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:52.640
<v Speaker 1>the pluckometer and ole Miss at the bottom. Just based

0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:55.800
<v Speaker 1>on that definition right now, Yes, let's see if we

0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:56.879
<v Speaker 1>can fill in the gaps.

0:20:57.280 --> 0:21:01.360
<v Speaker 2>So distance to the pluck sun. Boston College is mercury.

0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:04.560
<v Speaker 2>Ole Miss is currently the dwarf planet Pluto.

0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Right one pluconomical unit.

0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:10.119
<v Speaker 2>Yep, I'm right there with you.

0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech is an interesting case.

0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Georgia Tech.

0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:17.880
<v Speaker 2>We do we want to talk about Boston College.

0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:20.639
<v Speaker 1>Well, we're going to talk about Georgia Tech and Boston College.

0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Kind of gotcha in the same comparison here sok, same conference, right?

0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:29.320
<v Speaker 1>They do play each other next weekend, I believe so

0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:34.680
<v Speaker 1>we will get a battle of the plucky, a new rivalry.

0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Georgia Tech is currently two and two. They knocked off

0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Florida State on the road week one is a big deal.

0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Sixteen thirteen got cream by UCF, lost the following week

0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:53.680
<v Speaker 1>to Syracuse, then had to buy and one this past week.

0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:58.639
<v Speaker 1>An earlier week game against Louisville forty six to twenty seven.

0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Big effort there. There is no doubt that they are

0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:05.639
<v Speaker 1>playing better. They are playing hard for Jeff Collins. We

0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:09.040
<v Speaker 1>saw that last year. The question then, is how do

0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:12.760
<v Speaker 1>you compare a team like Georgia Tech and their level

0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:16.120
<v Speaker 1>of pluck dan mm hmm to what we've seen out

0:22:16.119 --> 0:22:21.000
<v Speaker 1>of Boston College In year one, three and one beat

0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:25.480
<v Speaker 1>pitt on a goofy missed extra point. They were very

0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:28.480
<v Speaker 1>close against North Carolina at home a couple of weeks ago,

0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:32.360
<v Speaker 1>and I think they are taking some of us, many

0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:35.040
<v Speaker 1>of us by surprise. That year one new coach had

0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:38.800
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of holes to fill new quarterback they are.

0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:40.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, say whatever you want about who they've beaten,

0:22:40.920 --> 0:22:43.160
<v Speaker 1>but three and one is three and one.

0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So I think Boston College exhibits a little bit

0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:51.600
<v Speaker 2>more pluck than Georgia Tech, just because Tech, Georgia Tech,

0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:56.520
<v Speaker 2>excuse me, has been embarrassed this year already, Like losing

0:22:56.600 --> 0:23:01.439
<v Speaker 2>to Syracuse comfortably does not show it's not great a

0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:04.000
<v Speaker 2>tremendous amount of pluck. I know it is on the road,

0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:05.719
<v Speaker 2>I know it's a strange year, but losing to the end,

0:23:05.720 --> 0:23:07.800
<v Speaker 2>I think they lost by almost twenty points to Syracuse,

0:23:08.240 --> 0:23:10.840
<v Speaker 2>so and losing big to UCF is not a big deal.

0:23:10.920 --> 0:23:13.800
<v Speaker 2>UCF is a very good program, but that loss to

0:23:13.840 --> 0:23:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Syracuse I think limits the pluck. Whereas Boston College right now,

0:23:17.280 --> 0:23:21.359
<v Speaker 2>with where their offense was and where their defense was

0:23:21.359 --> 0:23:23.800
<v Speaker 2>at times, it's sort of vacillated that one year they'll

0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:25.720
<v Speaker 2>have like a really interesting offense, you know then and

0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:27.720
<v Speaker 2>like I think last year their offense was fine, the

0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:30.479
<v Speaker 2>defense was a nightmare, and obviously in years prior it

0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:34.520
<v Speaker 2>was flipped. And so the consistency, the early consistency, and

0:23:34.560 --> 0:23:37.000
<v Speaker 2>I think their offense is ahead of the defense early

0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:39.800
<v Speaker 2>on and I expect the defense to improve under Jeff Halfley,

0:23:40.240 --> 0:23:44.200
<v Speaker 2>but early on for Boston College, I think they get

0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:47.480
<v Speaker 2>that pluck because they're a little bit more competitive. They're

0:23:47.520 --> 0:23:49.919
<v Speaker 2>staying in games, they're you know, they're hanging around to

0:23:49.960 --> 0:23:53.159
<v Speaker 2>potentially take advantage of mistakes from the other team. So

0:23:53.640 --> 0:23:55.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to give the edge. And they can't run

0:23:55.560 --> 0:23:58.240
<v Speaker 2>the ball at all, not at all. But Fildjerkovic has

0:23:58.280 --> 0:24:03.600
<v Speaker 2>been largely good, if not a little inefficient, but largely good,

0:24:04.200 --> 0:24:07.960
<v Speaker 2>and the defense against the pass has been pretty interesting.

0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I think I agree with you, not just because I'm

0:24:12.080 --> 0:24:15.520
<v Speaker 1>all in on this whole jerky boys goodiness, right like

0:24:16.440 --> 0:24:19.960
<v Speaker 1>I think Georgia Tech is interesting. You look at the

0:24:19.960 --> 0:24:25.040
<v Speaker 1>teams they've beaten. Louisville plays no defense and Florida State's

0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:28.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of a mess. They've got a really tough stretch

0:24:28.119 --> 0:24:31.399
<v Speaker 1>coming up. The true test of their pluckiness will be

0:24:31.440 --> 0:24:32.679
<v Speaker 1>in their next five games.

0:24:32.720 --> 0:24:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Listen to this give me the give me the pluck

0:24:36.200 --> 0:24:38.760
<v Speaker 2>the pluck oh meter for Georgia Tech. If they are

0:24:38.800 --> 0:24:42.320
<v Speaker 2>truly plucky, they will either win or come up just

0:24:42.400 --> 0:24:45.600
<v Speaker 2>short against Team X, who is the bell Weather pluck.

0:24:46.600 --> 0:24:48.359
<v Speaker 1>I think we could use Pitt as the go by

0:24:48.480 --> 0:24:52.000
<v Speaker 1>here because bost Boston College has already played and beaten Pit.

0:24:53.560 --> 0:24:57.159
<v Speaker 1>But listen, listen to these next five games for Georgia Tech.

0:24:57.160 --> 0:25:01.080
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna get answer to this question pretty soon. Okay, Clemson,

0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:05.080
<v Speaker 1>which we know about, we previewed next week on the

0:25:05.160 --> 0:25:07.560
<v Speaker 1>road at Boston College, so we'll get a heads up

0:25:07.560 --> 0:25:11.120
<v Speaker 1>matchup there the week after against Notre Dame. That game

0:25:11.960 --> 0:25:16.600
<v Speaker 1>is in Atlanta. We'll see what they can do there. Yeah,

0:25:16.800 --> 0:25:18.879
<v Speaker 1>then a bye week, and then Pitt at home on

0:25:18.960 --> 0:25:21.560
<v Speaker 1>the road at Miami. Next five weeks are going to

0:25:21.600 --> 0:25:24.080
<v Speaker 1>tell us if they can hang with some of those

0:25:24.119 --> 0:25:27.680
<v Speaker 1>squads that might be inclined to put them above Boston College.

0:25:27.720 --> 0:25:30.240
<v Speaker 1>But so far I'm looking at what BC has done,

0:25:30.280 --> 0:25:34.320
<v Speaker 1>and BC has hung around. They beat Pitt, they were

0:25:34.359 --> 0:25:37.240
<v Speaker 1>close enough against North Carolina. They're gonna have opportunities here

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:41.040
<v Speaker 1>in the next few weeks against Virginia Tech, against obviously

0:25:41.040 --> 0:25:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Georgia Tech, Clemson, and Notre Dame as well. So right

0:25:43.960 --> 0:25:47.159
<v Speaker 1>now Edge goes to Boston College, but Tech's gonna have

0:25:47.200 --> 0:25:51.240
<v Speaker 1>a chance to usurp the Eagles.

0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:53.880
<v Speaker 2>I think it's Miami well, especially because what Georgia Tech

0:25:53.880 --> 0:25:58.240
<v Speaker 2>beat Miami last year, right, this year's Miami team has

0:25:58.359 --> 0:26:03.000
<v Speaker 2>shown interesting upside. I think that's the measuring stick. If

0:26:03.000 --> 0:26:05.800
<v Speaker 2>Georgia Tech is again competitive with Miami what we believe

0:26:05.880 --> 0:26:08.560
<v Speaker 2>to be an improved Miami team and improved Georgia Tech team.

0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:10.600
<v Speaker 2>That to me, even if they lose twenty seven to

0:26:10.640 --> 0:26:12.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty four, or even if they know if they win

0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:17.000
<v Speaker 2>an ugly fashion, whatever the case, PITT does not necessarily

0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:19.719
<v Speaker 2>have their act together. I don't think we'll find out

0:26:19.760 --> 0:26:21.880
<v Speaker 2>more about PITT Miami. I suppose this weekend. So all

0:26:21.880 --> 0:26:26.000
<v Speaker 2>these sort of proxy measurements, but I'm looking at Georgia

0:26:26.040 --> 0:26:29.760
<v Speaker 2>Tech Miami as a measuring stick to see. Okay, this

0:26:29.840 --> 0:26:31.840
<v Speaker 2>is where Georgia Tech is. If they lose thirty eight

0:26:31.920 --> 0:26:33.920
<v Speaker 2>to ten, that's where they are. I know the game's

0:26:33.920 --> 0:26:38.440
<v Speaker 2>at Miami, I believe, so PITT to me is winnable,

0:26:38.760 --> 0:26:41.640
<v Speaker 2>whereas Miami doesn't seem on that level yet.

0:26:42.840 --> 0:26:47.600
<v Speaker 1>A new challenger has emerged in the form of Kansas State. Okay,

0:26:48.800 --> 0:26:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Kansas State to me when I put this list together

0:26:52.359 --> 0:26:55.760
<v Speaker 1>was I thought the odds on number one in the

0:26:55.760 --> 0:27:00.560
<v Speaker 1>pluck Oometer. And it's not just because they beat Oklahoma.

0:27:00.880 --> 0:27:03.840
<v Speaker 1>In Texas Tech and TCU. Obviously they lost Week one

0:27:03.840 --> 0:27:06.320
<v Speaker 1>in Arkansas State. We're just gonna like close their eyes in.

0:27:06.240 --> 0:27:08.960
<v Speaker 2>That gloss undefeated, big twelve Kansas State.

0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:14.520
<v Speaker 1>That's right, that's right. But I don't think there's any

0:27:14.560 --> 0:27:18.440
<v Speaker 1>denying the fact that this is already a way better

0:27:18.480 --> 0:27:21.440
<v Speaker 1>performance from k State in twenty twenty that we expected.

0:27:21.480 --> 0:27:24.800
<v Speaker 1>This was a team we talked a lot about them

0:27:24.800 --> 0:27:27.640
<v Speaker 1>taking a huge step back, and in the early going

0:27:27.640 --> 0:27:30.959
<v Speaker 1>they've been very good. Now they lost their quarterback. They

0:27:31.040 --> 0:27:33.680
<v Speaker 1>lost their quarterback, which in a sense is going to

0:27:33.760 --> 0:27:36.680
<v Speaker 1>give us an even better gauge of pluckiness because they're

0:27:36.720 --> 0:27:38.480
<v Speaker 1>not going to be able to rely on that veteran

0:27:38.560 --> 0:27:41.840
<v Speaker 1>leadership from Skyler Thompson to keep the offense hit it.

0:27:41.880 --> 0:27:44.520
<v Speaker 1>They're going to have to game plan around that void.

0:27:45.440 --> 0:27:48.480
<v Speaker 1>So we know that they're three and one, they're undefeated

0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:51.240
<v Speaker 1>in conference, they've got a game coming up next week.

0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:52.880
<v Speaker 1>They're off this week, but they've got a game coming

0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:56.000
<v Speaker 1>up next week against Kansas which I would expect them

0:27:56.040 --> 0:27:59.800
<v Speaker 1>to win handly. After that, though, then it starts to

0:27:59.800 --> 0:28:02.919
<v Speaker 1>get dicey because they close out their final five games

0:28:02.920 --> 0:28:05.680
<v Speaker 1>are at West Virginia, which who knows West Virginia. We

0:28:05.720 --> 0:28:10.000
<v Speaker 1>could maybe talk about them, Oklahoma State, Iowa State, Baylor

0:28:10.040 --> 0:28:15.639
<v Speaker 1>in Texas. Probably not as vicious a closing slate as

0:28:15.640 --> 0:28:18.879
<v Speaker 1>we thought given where Texas is at, but nonetheless, at

0:28:18.960 --> 0:28:23.000
<v Speaker 1>least in terms of projected win probability, they are fair

0:28:23.119 --> 0:28:25.119
<v Speaker 1>to lose all those football games. So where do we

0:28:25.160 --> 0:28:26.000
<v Speaker 1>stand on k State?

0:28:27.480 --> 0:28:31.159
<v Speaker 2>I believe they scored one offensive touchdown against TCU, They

0:28:31.200 --> 0:28:32.840
<v Speaker 2>had a couple of field goals in a pick six.

0:28:33.280 --> 0:28:39.560
<v Speaker 2>So the pluckiness place Matt has been set tie the

0:28:39.640 --> 0:28:43.680
<v Speaker 2>table for an interesting, gritty, plucky season with Kansas State,

0:28:43.840 --> 0:28:47.320
<v Speaker 2>especially with now I guess Deuce Fawn the face of

0:28:47.360 --> 0:28:50.920
<v Speaker 2>that offense with Skyler Thompson out, and I don't think

0:28:50.920 --> 0:28:52.760
<v Speaker 2>the passing game is going to be all that interesting.

0:28:53.720 --> 0:28:57.240
<v Speaker 2>I think the test for Kansas State moving forward now

0:28:57.560 --> 0:29:01.800
<v Speaker 2>with this freshman quarterback is, I guess you gotta be Baylor.

0:29:02.720 --> 0:29:04.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you gotta beat Kansas. You have to beat

0:29:05.000 --> 0:29:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Kansas no matter who's playing quarterback for you. Maybe it's

0:29:08.560 --> 0:29:10.240
<v Speaker 2>wet West Virginia on the road. You give them a

0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:12.720
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks. Kansas State's off this week, you get

0:29:12.720 --> 0:29:14.080
<v Speaker 2>a little bit, you get your feet wet a little

0:29:14.080 --> 0:29:16.720
<v Speaker 2>bit more against Kansas at West Virginia is the true

0:29:16.720 --> 0:29:19.600
<v Speaker 2>pluck test for Kansas State moving forward, because that's an

0:29:19.600 --> 0:29:23.160
<v Speaker 2>improved West Virginia team with a really interesting defense. I mean,

0:29:23.160 --> 0:29:25.680
<v Speaker 2>we can talk about West Virginian pluckiness is like a bonus.

0:29:25.720 --> 0:29:29.200
<v Speaker 2>I guess that's the pluck test to me, because if

0:29:29.280 --> 0:29:31.360
<v Speaker 2>Kansas State can't move the ball forward, if they can't

0:29:31.640 --> 0:29:35.280
<v Speaker 2>generate more than one offensive touchdown against an Okay to

0:29:35.360 --> 0:29:38.600
<v Speaker 2>pretty good TCU team, then they.

0:29:38.520 --> 0:29:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Might be bad. Yeah, they might be. I hope not.

0:29:42.520 --> 0:29:43.000
<v Speaker 2>They might be.

0:29:43.280 --> 0:29:47.560
<v Speaker 1>See what, Well, West Virginia is an interesting game. Iowa

0:29:47.560 --> 0:29:51.280
<v Speaker 1>States to me even a little bit more interesting. It's

0:29:51.320 --> 0:29:54.440
<v Speaker 1>also on the road. Iowa State's another team that is

0:29:54.640 --> 0:29:55.080
<v Speaker 1>so that's.

0:29:54.960 --> 0:29:57.200
<v Speaker 2>The class of the Big twelve though, ty don't that's.

0:29:57.080 --> 0:30:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Fair fair enough, But it's interesting because because Iowa State

0:30:01.960 --> 0:30:05.080
<v Speaker 1>is sort of like a graduate of the pluck ometer. True,

0:30:07.000 --> 0:30:10.160
<v Speaker 1>just saying a little bit of symmetry there. Okay, are

0:30:10.200 --> 0:30:12.480
<v Speaker 1>we content to put Kase State above Boston College?

0:30:14.040 --> 0:30:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Are we content to put Kase State above Boston College pluck? Yes,

0:30:17.480 --> 0:30:21.480
<v Speaker 2>in terms of pluckiness, I think so because they pluckily

0:30:21.520 --> 0:30:25.920
<v Speaker 2>beat Oklahoma and even with a different quarterback. You got

0:30:25.920 --> 0:30:27.920
<v Speaker 2>to give credit where it's due, and that was a

0:30:28.000 --> 0:30:30.800
<v Speaker 2>that was a win by a team not nearly as

0:30:30.840 --> 0:30:32.000
<v Speaker 2>talented as the team they beat.

0:30:32.680 --> 0:30:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Where do we stand on Arkansas? Now?

0:30:35.120 --> 0:30:36.480
<v Speaker 2>How I have Arkansas thoughtstyle?

0:30:37.760 --> 0:30:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Arkansas lost big in their first game to Georgia. But

0:30:42.000 --> 0:30:45.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, new coach at Arkansas and it's Georgia.

0:30:45.480 --> 0:30:47.840
<v Speaker 2>And they were in that game. It was an ugly

0:30:48.400 --> 0:30:51.920
<v Speaker 2>like first half of that game. Now that counts as

0:30:51.960 --> 0:30:53.120
<v Speaker 2>pluck uggling up something.

0:30:53.800 --> 0:30:56.800
<v Speaker 1>A week after that, they're on the road. They're going

0:30:56.840 --> 0:30:59.680
<v Speaker 1>against the Mississippi State team that everyone's written into the

0:30:59.680 --> 0:31:04.800
<v Speaker 1>College Football Playoff. Absolutely after a monstrous showing. But Kja

0:31:04.800 --> 0:31:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Costello and Mike Leach in year one of the air

0:31:06.880 --> 0:31:09.960
<v Speaker 1>raid and they win twenty one to fourteen, really good

0:31:09.960 --> 0:31:13.320
<v Speaker 1>defensive effort. Now folks are like, hey, this is a

0:31:13.320 --> 0:31:15.400
<v Speaker 1>great win for Arkansas. They haven't won an SEC game

0:31:15.440 --> 0:31:18.000
<v Speaker 1>in three years. What do they do? They go on

0:31:18.040 --> 0:31:20.560
<v Speaker 1>the road the next week against Auburn. Now we can

0:31:20.640 --> 0:31:22.560
<v Speaker 1>say whatever we want about Auburn, but Auburn's got more

0:31:22.560 --> 0:31:27.240
<v Speaker 1>talent than Arkansas. There's there's no denying that. Now Arkansas

0:31:27.320 --> 0:31:29.840
<v Speaker 1>could have won that game. They lost thirty to twenty eight.

0:31:30.360 --> 0:31:32.720
<v Speaker 1>It was a game they were in. It was a

0:31:32.760 --> 0:31:36.120
<v Speaker 1>tight game, thirty to twenty eight. They've clearly got their

0:31:36.120 --> 0:31:39.320
<v Speaker 1>work cut out for them moving forward, right all miss

0:31:39.520 --> 0:31:43.720
<v Speaker 1>this week. They've got games against A and M, Tennessee, Florida, LSU, Missouri,

0:31:43.720 --> 0:31:47.480
<v Speaker 1>and Alabama left on the schedule. So I don't it

0:31:47.600 --> 0:31:51.240
<v Speaker 1>may be a little too soon to gauge where Arkansas

0:31:51.320 --> 0:31:55.200
<v Speaker 1>rates on this scale. Maybe the bell Weather is a

0:31:55.240 --> 0:32:02.160
<v Speaker 1>game against like A Tennessee. But what are you, Arkansas? Thoughts?

0:32:03.880 --> 0:32:06.600
<v Speaker 2>Felipe Franks is a real quarterback. It's been a while

0:32:06.640 --> 0:32:10.440
<v Speaker 2>since Arkansas has had a real quarterback. He succeeded downfield

0:32:10.640 --> 0:32:13.640
<v Speaker 2>against even though an Auburn defense that took a step

0:32:13.680 --> 0:32:15.480
<v Speaker 2>back this year a peers to have taken a step back.

0:32:16.680 --> 0:32:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Real quarterbacks count for a lot, Real coordinators count for

0:32:19.640 --> 0:32:23.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot. A real head coach that is inspiring, it seems.

0:32:23.240 --> 0:32:27.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean Arkansas was rushing the passer against against Auburn.

0:32:27.320 --> 0:32:31.120
<v Speaker 2>They were forcing mistakes. They were I like that running

0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:33.320
<v Speaker 2>back number twenty two. I think his last name is Smith,

0:32:34.200 --> 0:32:37.320
<v Speaker 2>Is it Trelon Treylon Smith? He was really good in

0:32:37.320 --> 0:32:41.920
<v Speaker 2>an all purpose role against Auburn. And watching the Hogs

0:32:42.200 --> 0:32:44.400
<v Speaker 2>early on this season feels like did you have an

0:32:44.400 --> 0:32:47.720
<v Speaker 2>amazing professor that you loved in college, which is like

0:32:48.320 --> 0:32:52.040
<v Speaker 2>taking his or her class made that subject matter come alive?

0:32:52.600 --> 0:32:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Had I definitely did.

0:32:53.720 --> 0:32:57.719
<v Speaker 1>I had one professor because they kept changing my major

0:32:57.840 --> 0:33:01.760
<v Speaker 1>round and restructuring it where I liked the professor a lot,

0:33:01.960 --> 0:33:04.160
<v Speaker 1>and because of some of the clerical errors, I was

0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:08.800
<v Speaker 1>able to take the same class three times, which we

0:33:08.840 --> 0:33:11.960
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about. The pluckometer was, Yes, that was

0:33:12.000 --> 0:33:12.880
<v Speaker 1>a plucky decision.

0:33:13.080 --> 0:33:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Gaming the system is definitely plucky.

0:33:15.160 --> 0:33:18.000
<v Speaker 1>And then I've talked about Frank Clemente at Penn State before.

0:33:18.040 --> 0:33:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Anyone who's been the Penn State knows Frank Clemente. Yeah,

0:33:20.560 --> 0:33:22.080
<v Speaker 1>of Christ, everyone has that professor.

0:33:23.080 --> 0:33:26.680
<v Speaker 2>So watching the Hogs against Auburn made it seem like

0:33:26.880 --> 0:33:28.960
<v Speaker 2>somebody and I don't know if it's a coordinator thing.

0:33:29.000 --> 0:33:30.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's a Sam Pittman thing. I

0:33:30.480 --> 0:33:33.160
<v Speaker 2>don't know if it's just a general culture thing. Somebody

0:33:33.200 --> 0:33:37.400
<v Speaker 2>made learning and playing football fun for Arkansas. Somebody, like

0:33:37.440 --> 0:33:40.200
<v Speaker 2>if somebody made geometry fun, Like if you have a

0:33:40.280 --> 0:33:43.640
<v Speaker 2>terrible math teacher, it's the most dry experience in your life.

0:33:43.640 --> 0:33:47.280
<v Speaker 2>But if you make Isauci. These triangles come alve time. Yeah, yeah,

0:33:47.320 --> 0:33:49.560
<v Speaker 2>you're into it. You're into it. And there was something

0:33:49.600 --> 0:33:52.240
<v Speaker 2>about rushing the passer against Auburn, there was something about

0:33:52.760 --> 0:33:56.840
<v Speaker 2>misdirection on offense. Felipe Franks felt empowered to me, and

0:33:56.920 --> 0:34:00.000
<v Speaker 2>so that's what I'm into. In terms of pluck for Arkansas,

0:34:00.360 --> 0:34:05.360
<v Speaker 2>it seems like we're watching an overhaul that suddenly somebody's

0:34:05.400 --> 0:34:09.120
<v Speaker 2>schedule opened up with great professors, and so I don't know.

0:34:09.160 --> 0:34:11.480
<v Speaker 2>The bell Weather game, I suppose for Arkansas could be

0:34:11.520 --> 0:34:13.600
<v Speaker 2>an improved Miszoo team that's on the road later on

0:34:13.640 --> 0:34:16.919
<v Speaker 2>in the year. But to make sense of everything, because

0:34:16.920 --> 0:34:18.600
<v Speaker 2>they should have come away from that Auburn game with

0:34:18.640 --> 0:34:21.399
<v Speaker 2>a win, I think it's Tennessee. I think you're right.

0:34:21.480 --> 0:34:24.279
<v Speaker 2>I think if you're hanging around with Tennessee, certainly not

0:34:24.520 --> 0:34:27.359
<v Speaker 2>a complete team, certainly not a finished product. If you're

0:34:27.400 --> 0:34:31.080
<v Speaker 2>hanging around with Tennessee at home, I think that cements

0:34:31.120 --> 0:34:32.440
<v Speaker 2>that gritty plucky status.

0:34:33.200 --> 0:34:37.440
<v Speaker 1>I think the Arkansas win over Mississippi State and the

0:34:37.560 --> 0:34:41.399
<v Speaker 1>close loss against Auburn is enough to put them in

0:34:41.440 --> 0:34:44.120
<v Speaker 1>front of Georgia Tech, but not quite above BC.

0:34:45.680 --> 0:34:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Arkansas is going to have a fascinating year in terms

0:34:47.960 --> 0:34:50.759
<v Speaker 2>of they're the bell Weather right to see if, like

0:34:51.000 --> 0:34:55.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, Mississippi State, are they for real? They played Arkansas? Nope, Auburn.

0:34:55.920 --> 0:34:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Was it just a slow start and you know going

0:34:57.719 --> 0:35:00.920
<v Speaker 2>up against a heavyweight Georgia team and a decent Kentucky defense.

0:35:01.200 --> 0:35:02.560
<v Speaker 1>No, Auburn may have some issues.

0:35:03.040 --> 0:35:06.520
<v Speaker 2>Alburn needed a lot. So maybe it's not Arkansas looking

0:35:06.560 --> 0:35:11.840
<v Speaker 2>outside for measuring sticks. Maybe Arkansas themselves in the ultimate

0:35:11.920 --> 0:35:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Plucky reversal. Wow, they're the measuring stick.

0:35:14.880 --> 0:35:17.640
<v Speaker 1>This is like plucky naval gazing. So you want to

0:35:17.640 --> 0:35:20.239
<v Speaker 1>put Arkansas? We could put Arkansas too, just because of that.

0:35:20.760 --> 0:35:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, absolutely, all right, State on retrograde.

0:35:24.640 --> 0:35:28.239
<v Speaker 1>Ky State, Arkansas, Boston College, and Georgia Tech. We got

0:35:28.320 --> 0:35:30.719
<v Speaker 1>three other teams to two other teams on here. Excuse me?

0:35:30.760 --> 0:35:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay about South Carolina? How you feel about South Carolina?

0:35:37.360 --> 0:35:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Not amazing in terms of pluckiness.

0:35:39.400 --> 0:35:43.919
<v Speaker 1>They're better than expected, at least for me, I've been saying,

0:35:43.920 --> 0:35:48.600
<v Speaker 1>that's who you expected. Yeah, I think the team as

0:35:48.600 --> 0:35:52.120
<v Speaker 1>a whole has been better than expected. The offense, you know,

0:35:52.280 --> 0:35:56.400
<v Speaker 1>from an efficiency standpoint, is certainly not there, right, it

0:35:56.480 --> 0:35:59.680
<v Speaker 1>is not there. But I have enjoyed watching the Colin

0:35:59.760 --> 0:36:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Hill to shy Smith connection.

0:36:03.120 --> 0:36:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Not against Florida. You probably didn't.

0:36:04.680 --> 0:36:08.400
<v Speaker 1>I guess there was some dropsies. Yeah, not against Florida.

0:36:10.400 --> 0:36:15.759
<v Speaker 1>I like what I saw to Kevin Harris in the

0:36:15.840 --> 0:36:18.879
<v Speaker 1>running game. Yeah, I think that's important. I could use

0:36:18.920 --> 0:36:22.520
<v Speaker 1>shy Smith getting like longer passes right now, he's just

0:36:22.520 --> 0:36:24.280
<v Speaker 1>getting a lot of dink and dunk type stuff.

0:36:24.840 --> 0:36:26.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I could use a little bit.

0:36:25.960 --> 0:36:29.200
<v Speaker 1>More of that. But I feel like they're gonna be

0:36:29.200 --> 0:36:33.800
<v Speaker 1>a tough out even if they're not necessarily beating teams

0:36:33.880 --> 0:36:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Like the game against Tennessee. I think I locked up

0:36:36.120 --> 0:36:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee and may have won that opening week game because

0:36:43.480 --> 0:36:44.880
<v Speaker 1>it was like a three and a half spread and

0:36:44.920 --> 0:36:48.440
<v Speaker 1>they won by four. But they were way in that game,

0:36:48.719 --> 0:36:52.080
<v Speaker 1>much more than expected. The Florida game, we kind of

0:36:52.120 --> 0:36:54.640
<v Speaker 1>expected more of a blowout. They covered the spread there.

0:36:55.160 --> 0:36:58.640
<v Speaker 1>They covered the spread against Vanderbilt, if memory serves, are

0:36:58.640 --> 0:37:03.920
<v Speaker 1>probably undefeated. Cool, but they're gonna have chances here now

0:37:04.239 --> 0:37:06.480
<v Speaker 1>over the next few weeks against the likes of Auburn

0:37:06.520 --> 0:37:09.440
<v Speaker 1>and LSU, and there's a Georgia game at the end

0:37:09.480 --> 0:37:13.719
<v Speaker 1>of the year. I think, in looking at this schedule,

0:37:14.920 --> 0:37:18.720
<v Speaker 1>the measuring stick for me is probably gonna be LSU

0:37:20.080 --> 0:37:21.919
<v Speaker 1>on the road. What can they do?

0:37:22.680 --> 0:37:27.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't find Will musk Champ teams to fall

0:37:28.880 --> 0:37:32.480
<v Speaker 2>in that plucky, gritty category. The best of Will must

0:37:32.560 --> 0:37:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Champ teams play good defense, but there is something about improving.

0:37:36.320 --> 0:37:39.400
<v Speaker 2>There's something about incremental change that I just never really

0:37:39.480 --> 0:37:42.600
<v Speaker 2>see from Will muss Champ teams. And so maybe that's

0:37:42.760 --> 0:37:46.280
<v Speaker 2>being more broad and vague about Florida and South Carolina combined,

0:37:46.800 --> 0:37:49.840
<v Speaker 2>but it doesn't fall under the like they were a

0:37:49.960 --> 0:37:52.920
<v Speaker 2>nightmare and now they're interesting. I don't know how interesting

0:37:52.920 --> 0:37:56.320
<v Speaker 2>I am. I might put them. I loaded up different galaxies. Tie.

0:37:56.360 --> 0:37:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they're a tadpole Galaxy team. Maybe they're a cartwheel galaxy.

0:37:59.480 --> 0:38:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they're a CAA eighty two galaxy type teams. Yeah,

0:38:03.920 --> 0:38:05.359
<v Speaker 2>the MESSAA eighty two the best.

0:38:05.400 --> 0:38:07.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he played for the Rangers. Yep, he did.

0:38:07.360 --> 0:38:09.279
<v Speaker 2>Indeed, there's also Messia sixty three.

0:38:09.920 --> 0:38:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Just he might be sixty three at this point, but continue.

0:38:12.600 --> 0:38:17.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. No, there's nothing feel good about watching South Carolina

0:38:17.480 --> 0:38:19.920
<v Speaker 2>football under Will must Champ. And I get some good

0:38:19.960 --> 0:38:22.240
<v Speaker 2>fields watching Boston College. I get some good fields watching

0:38:22.320 --> 0:38:25.759
<v Speaker 2>Arkansas because you like to see players figuring it out

0:38:25.840 --> 0:38:28.680
<v Speaker 2>and I suppose other than getting off the field against

0:38:28.680 --> 0:38:32.439
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee on third down consistently, there's nothing I'm talking about

0:38:32.480 --> 0:38:34.879
<v Speaker 2>the defense in a good way. There's nothing I love

0:38:34.880 --> 0:38:37.480
<v Speaker 2>about watching South Carolina football. There's nothing that gives me

0:38:37.480 --> 0:38:41.239
<v Speaker 2>those warm fields, the warm fuzzies, And so I don't

0:38:41.280 --> 0:38:42.879
<v Speaker 2>think it falls for me. I don't you know. I'm

0:38:42.920 --> 0:38:45.520
<v Speaker 2>gonna need to see more against a pretty good team.

0:38:45.800 --> 0:38:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So if I understand Sea sixty three is my ruling,

0:38:49.960 --> 0:38:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Messa six. Okay, great, So does that translate then to

0:38:54.160 --> 0:38:55.640
<v Speaker 1>putting South Carolina.

0:38:55.320 --> 0:38:58.719
<v Speaker 2>Below Ole Miss correct? Yes, all right, so we've got

0:38:58.719 --> 0:39:03.439
<v Speaker 2>a new something plucky out driving. There's something plucky about driving,

0:39:03.480 --> 0:39:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Nick Saban, absolutely bonkers.

0:39:05.840 --> 0:39:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Yes, final team, I've got final team. I've got here,

0:39:09.960 --> 0:39:13.120
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure we could do this all day. Let's

0:39:13.120 --> 0:39:17.160
<v Speaker 1>talk about Miszoo. Now here's an important distinction that I

0:39:17.160 --> 0:39:18.879
<v Speaker 1>need to get out of the way, right right out

0:39:18.880 --> 0:39:24.280
<v Speaker 1>of the shoot. There is a certain grit and fire

0:39:24.520 --> 0:39:26.520
<v Speaker 1>and pluckiness to Eli Drinkwitz.

0:39:27.520 --> 0:39:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, especially on signing day.

0:39:29.160 --> 0:39:32.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, especially on signing days. So it's I think we

0:39:32.400 --> 0:39:36.719
<v Speaker 1>need to try and uh like separate decouple the two

0:39:37.320 --> 0:39:39.920
<v Speaker 1>for the purposes of this conversation, even if that culture

0:39:39.960 --> 0:39:43.000
<v Speaker 1>emanates down from the top, we're not talking about the coach.

0:39:43.040 --> 0:39:46.319
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about the team. So what we've seen so

0:39:46.480 --> 0:39:52.600
<v Speaker 1>far from Miszoo has been like, uh, not great, Like

0:39:53.560 --> 0:39:58.440
<v Speaker 1>lost pretty badly to Alabama. Okay, fine, lost pretty badly

0:39:58.520 --> 0:40:04.719
<v Speaker 1>on the road at Tennessee. Okay, beat LSU in that

0:40:04.880 --> 0:40:10.040
<v Speaker 1>upset forty five to forty one. Yeah, they're off this week.

0:40:10.080 --> 0:40:15.000
<v Speaker 1>They're at Florida next week. Looking at their remaining schedule

0:40:15.160 --> 0:40:19.480
<v Speaker 1>at Florida, Kentucky, Georgia, South Carolina, Arkansas, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt.

0:40:19.520 --> 0:40:23.360
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna have a chance here against some really good teams,

0:40:25.080 --> 0:40:28.560
<v Speaker 1>uh in the SEC. I like their quarterback Connor Basilak.

0:40:28.680 --> 0:40:32.399
<v Speaker 1>I can't even say his name, Basil Basia Yeah, basilc Yeah,

0:40:33.000 --> 0:40:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I like him. And my sense is that Miszoo has

0:40:37.120 --> 0:40:39.919
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity to improve throughout the course of the year.

0:40:40.120 --> 0:40:42.960
<v Speaker 1>So LSU is not where we thought they were going

0:40:43.040 --> 0:40:46.240
<v Speaker 1>to be, And there are other teams in the schedule

0:40:46.280 --> 0:40:49.839
<v Speaker 1>who are kind of in a similar vein. I think

0:40:49.880 --> 0:40:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Missoo's going to improve. I think they're gonna play hard.

0:40:52.960 --> 0:40:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I think they're kind of like a low key top

0:40:56.080 --> 0:40:59.520
<v Speaker 1>three pluckiness style team here. I think that's what we're

0:40:59.520 --> 0:41:02.759
<v Speaker 1>gonna see moving forward. Now. Have they been there yet?

0:41:02.880 --> 0:41:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Probably not.

0:41:06.080 --> 0:41:09.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think you are looking at plucky futures with

0:41:09.760 --> 0:41:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Miszoo a little bit, little bit twenty plus to Tennessee.

0:41:14.080 --> 0:41:16.120
<v Speaker 2>And I know what Connor Bezlac came in early in

0:41:16.200 --> 0:41:18.480
<v Speaker 2>relief of Sean Robinson. It just wasn't working out for

0:41:18.600 --> 0:41:23.719
<v Speaker 2>Robinson under center and the win against LSU. LSU might

0:41:23.719 --> 0:41:26.319
<v Speaker 2>be another sort of measuring stick team, where like, if

0:41:26.320 --> 0:41:28.200
<v Speaker 2>you're not moving the ball against LSU, something is wrong

0:41:28.200 --> 0:41:30.279
<v Speaker 2>with your offense, which is a very strange way to

0:41:30.320 --> 0:41:34.359
<v Speaker 2>interpret the Tigers this year, but it's I think it's

0:41:34.440 --> 0:41:37.440
<v Speaker 2>based in reality a little bit. So I am great

0:41:37.480 --> 0:41:41.359
<v Speaker 2>with assigning pluckiness to Connor Beslac to be sort of

0:41:41.840 --> 0:41:45.280
<v Speaker 2>unsheathed with very little warning and to look very comfortable

0:41:45.280 --> 0:41:47.920
<v Speaker 2>and very good. But yeah, you're looking at plucky futures

0:41:47.960 --> 0:41:49.600
<v Speaker 2>because the defense is going to take a minute. I

0:41:49.640 --> 0:41:52.160
<v Speaker 2>think the defense in Columbia is going to take a minute.

0:41:52.680 --> 0:41:55.520
<v Speaker 2>But in terms of you know, getting receivers back, because

0:41:55.520 --> 0:41:58.600
<v Speaker 2>they were without receivers against LSU, So I think there

0:41:58.680 --> 0:42:02.080
<v Speaker 2>is that that gritty upside to Missoo. But you're right

0:42:02.120 --> 0:42:04.440
<v Speaker 2>about the schedule because you lose comfortably to Alabama. That's

0:42:04.480 --> 0:42:09.000
<v Speaker 2>not an indicator of anything, but it's what Florida on

0:42:09.040 --> 0:42:14.040
<v Speaker 2>the road Georgia. So the measuring it might be Arkansas,

0:42:15.280 --> 0:42:19.200
<v Speaker 2>it might be some sort of Ozarkian measuring bowl near

0:42:19.239 --> 0:42:22.840
<v Speaker 2>the end of the year. Uh Now, I think it's Kentucky.

0:42:23.040 --> 0:42:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky at home after Florida Halloween. If Miszoo wins or

0:42:28.040 --> 0:42:30.520
<v Speaker 2>is competitive in that game, and I know that specific

0:42:30.520 --> 0:42:34.120
<v Speaker 2>matchup is fraught with recent history drama, I think we

0:42:34.239 --> 0:42:36.800
<v Speaker 2>have a good indicator of where Missouri stands. Maybe Missoo

0:42:36.840 --> 0:42:44.840
<v Speaker 2>is Earth Mars. Hmm, well, I think they're orbiting in

0:42:45.200 --> 0:42:48.680
<v Speaker 2>relatively close proximity.

0:42:47.400 --> 0:42:49.680
<v Speaker 1>But that implies that things are getting better on Earth.

0:42:52.440 --> 0:42:54.000
<v Speaker 2>So what I mean Mars is the one with the

0:42:54.080 --> 0:42:59.680
<v Speaker 2>upside right to colonize, so Miszoo has the the upside.

0:42:59.800 --> 0:43:05.719
<v Speaker 2>So I'll say Missoo and Mars are entangled, romantically entangled.

0:43:05.760 --> 0:43:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Really Okay?

0:43:07.680 --> 0:43:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:43:09.040 --> 0:43:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Cool? Well, so I've I'm gonna put Missoo in front

0:43:12.200 --> 0:43:15.160
<v Speaker 1>of Old miss because we're not sure if Old Miss

0:43:15.239 --> 0:43:18.879
<v Speaker 1>that makes in this category, but not in front of Georgia. Tech. Here.

0:43:18.920 --> 0:43:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Here is what I've got, and I think we can

0:43:21.520 --> 0:43:26.040
<v Speaker 1>agree upon this power rating. K State one, Arkansas two,

0:43:27.400 --> 0:43:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Boston College three, Georgia Tech four, Maszoo five. You've convinced me,

0:43:33.360 --> 0:43:36.960
<v Speaker 1>hm ol miss six, South Carolina seven.

0:43:38.280 --> 0:43:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, South Carolina sixty three in the South Carolina sixty three. Yeah.

0:43:44.520 --> 0:43:46.960
<v Speaker 2>I really hope it's pronounced Messia, not miss you or

0:43:47.000 --> 0:43:49.360
<v Speaker 2>something stupid. Messia would would be the best.

0:43:49.200 --> 0:43:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Mark message fifty nine.

0:43:50.520 --> 0:43:53.000
<v Speaker 2>By the way, there are other teams, and we're not

0:43:53.000 --> 0:43:54.440
<v Speaker 2>going to go into them, just because we don't want

0:43:54.440 --> 0:43:55.680
<v Speaker 2>this to be a two hour show, but there are

0:43:55.680 --> 0:43:59.359
<v Speaker 2>other teams that are worth having a conversation about at

0:43:59.360 --> 0:44:05.000
<v Speaker 2>this point. Coastal Carolina, fresh off a win against Louisiana, undefeated.

0:44:05.360 --> 0:44:07.360
<v Speaker 2>You don't just get an internship at Grayce and McCall

0:44:07.360 --> 0:44:11.680
<v Speaker 2>without putting in the work. Ty, Yeah, yes, Coast Carolina,

0:44:11.960 --> 0:44:14.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean de facto Big twelve champs. With the win

0:44:14.320 --> 0:44:17.080
<v Speaker 2>over Louisiana, I stayed in the driver's seat.

0:44:17.320 --> 0:44:20.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how many of our listeners out there

0:44:20.520 --> 0:44:22.799
<v Speaker 1>are fully up to speed with what's going on with

0:44:22.880 --> 0:44:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Coastal Carolina and the shot I know on the and

0:44:28.160 --> 0:44:32.040
<v Speaker 1>they're deeply teal pants. They're deeply teal pants, right. I know.

0:44:32.239 --> 0:44:35.960
<v Speaker 1>On the Discord server last night, folks were watching the

0:44:35.960 --> 0:44:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Coastal Carolina victory and getting all into them. So four

0:44:42.200 --> 0:44:44.640
<v Speaker 1>and oh, I think you gotta rank them. I to

0:44:44.719 --> 0:44:48.759
<v Speaker 1>rank them at this point, definite pla.

0:44:48.840 --> 0:44:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma State is able to win without a starting quarterback.

0:44:52.960 --> 0:44:55.680
<v Speaker 2>I think their defense eliminates them for luckiness because it's

0:44:55.719 --> 0:44:58.440
<v Speaker 2>been so strong early on. But that's a conversation with

0:44:58.520 --> 0:44:59.960
<v Speaker 2>having I think the other case, by the way, for

0:45:00.080 --> 0:45:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Kansas State being strong is winning a game without your

0:45:02.520 --> 0:45:04.280
<v Speaker 2>starting quarterback in one offensive touchdown.

0:45:04.360 --> 0:45:06.760
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty plucky, I would agree.

0:45:07.080 --> 0:45:12.720
<v Speaker 2>If you're can accomplish that, that's interesting across other conferences.

0:45:14.200 --> 0:45:16.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I have somebody specific beyond that,

0:45:16.200 --> 0:45:20.200
<v Speaker 2>you mass pretty plucky for canceling and restarting a season

0:45:20.360 --> 0:45:22.279
<v Speaker 2>all in a short amount of time. I don't know

0:45:22.280 --> 0:45:25.400
<v Speaker 2>how good they're actually on the field. Uh, Otherwise, I

0:45:25.400 --> 0:45:27.520
<v Speaker 2>think that's all I have. I don't think there's another

0:45:27.680 --> 0:45:32.920
<v Speaker 2>clear case for pluckiness. Yeah, Texas A and M might

0:45:32.960 --> 0:45:36.640
<v Speaker 2>be pretty good. It's hard to be plucky this far

0:45:36.719 --> 0:45:41.680
<v Speaker 2>into a coaching tenure. That's what I think screwed up

0:45:41.719 --> 0:45:45.000
<v Speaker 2>screwed me up with South Carolina. Like. I like the

0:45:45.040 --> 0:45:47.319
<v Speaker 2>Sam Pittman, I like the Lane Kiffin element. I like

0:45:47.360 --> 0:45:49.680
<v Speaker 2>the Jeff Halfley, I like the Jeff Collins element because

0:45:49.680 --> 0:45:56.680
<v Speaker 2>Plucky implies, you know, quick improvement, quick competitiveness, and I

0:45:56.680 --> 0:45:59.239
<v Speaker 2>don't know, we're in what you're three of Jimbo, We're

0:45:59.239 --> 0:46:03.279
<v Speaker 2>in you're what five six of? Will must Champ. Yeah,

0:46:03.480 --> 0:46:07.120
<v Speaker 2>I like that the early What I like the comparison

0:46:07.160 --> 0:46:09.479
<v Speaker 2>to the Planet Testimal. Tie is that what it's called?

0:46:09.800 --> 0:46:11.040
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea what that is?

0:46:11.800 --> 0:46:13.879
<v Speaker 2>What did you what was the term the grain of sand?

0:46:13.960 --> 0:46:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh, planet testimal? You're right, Ve right, every.

0:46:15.719 --> 0:46:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Planet Testimal. Yeah. I like that because those are young,

0:46:19.360 --> 0:46:23.800
<v Speaker 2>gathering momentum situations. All right, So that's like like the

0:46:23.880 --> 0:46:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Chris climbing situation exactly.

0:46:26.920 --> 0:46:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, look right in soliverble at gmail dot com. Let

<v Speaker 1>to patreon dot com slash soliverbal for more information. Dan,

0:46:58.800 --> 0:47:01.120
<v Speaker 1>this is sort of a push of oars. Were very

0:47:01.120 --> 0:47:04.799
<v Speaker 1>excited about this. It is dominating kind of our our

0:47:04.840 --> 0:47:08.040
<v Speaker 1>thoughts at the moment. We're really trying to beef up

0:47:08.080 --> 0:47:09.960
<v Speaker 1>our offerings for the verballer hood.

0:47:10.920 --> 0:47:16.759
<v Speaker 2>My solid verbal Lab because of our Patreon launch and

0:47:16.800 --> 0:47:19.279
<v Speaker 2>because of all of the extra things we're doing. I've

0:47:19.280 --> 0:47:24.719
<v Speaker 2>got wires everywhere. You ever see Trent Reznor's studio, I

0:47:24.760 --> 0:47:27.560
<v Speaker 2>think so because he does soundtracks. He's got these giant

0:47:27.600 --> 0:47:30.680
<v Speaker 2>synthesizers and these giant boards with cables connecting like these

0:47:31.080 --> 0:47:36.520
<v Speaker 2>big I'm looking at analogue synthesizers where he's just creating sounds.

0:47:37.400 --> 0:47:40.560
<v Speaker 2>It's like that in here, but it's much more disorganized

0:47:40.719 --> 0:47:43.920
<v Speaker 2>with a lot less talent behind the boards. But I

0:47:43.960 --> 0:47:47.560
<v Speaker 2>would say equal levels of creative gumption. Just it has

0:47:47.640 --> 0:47:53.480
<v Speaker 2>to do with Grayson McCall and Skyler Thompson. So yeah,

0:47:53.600 --> 0:47:56.279
<v Speaker 2>that's what we're doing. We're pouring. We're pouring many, many

0:47:56.360 --> 0:48:01.200
<v Speaker 2>hours of the day into turning this this Patreon universe

0:48:01.280 --> 0:48:04.600
<v Speaker 2>into something very very cool for for ballers everywhere.

0:48:05.680 --> 0:48:08.320

<v Speaker 1>also search for college Sports Now on tune in. You'll

<v Speaker 1>It runs all day, all day, so you're not gonna

0:48:34.960 --> 0:48:38.279
<v Speaker 1>miss anything. You can go really inside the booth with

0:48:38.480 --> 0:48:41.160
<v Speaker 1>some of these local broadcasts. Sometimes my favorite is when

0:48:41.160 --> 0:48:44.640
<v Speaker 1>they go on either side, like the throwing thrill of victory,

0:48:44.680 --> 0:48:47.360
<v Speaker 1>agony of defeat. You get both sides of it, so

0:48:47.760 --> 0:48:50.879
<v Speaker 1>it's it's cool stuff and would encourage you to check

0:48:50.920 --> 0:48:53.440
<v Speaker 1>that out. As everyone knows, Learfield IMG College is a

0:48:54.280 --> 0:48:56.879
<v Speaker 1>good friend of ours and we're working together to help

<v Speaker 1>build up the show and work together to build up

0:48:59.120 --> 0:49:01.960
<v Speaker 1>podcasting as a whole in the college football arena. So

<v Speaker 1>check them out. They do great work on a Saturday.

0:49:04.520 --> 0:49:06.360
