1
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: If there's never gonna be a consequence talking big, then

2
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: why does talking big even mean anything? Do you follow

3
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: me here? We're jam packed, We're high, a toppy spirited

4
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: Downtown National, Tennessee, Lake Acas Live, Sunday Night, September twenty fourth,

5
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: The over Lord twenty twenty three. We're gonna mute that

6
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: I am clad not in my usual white garb because

7
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: I have lost everything essentially due to a rental car

8
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: slash flight mix up and mishap. So I have my

9
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: backup black song from the road, and we're gonna do

10
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: the show in that tonight. If you're listening on podcasts,

11
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 1: just pretend everything is normal. But it's not normal, because

12
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: we got a lot to talk about. It was a

13
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: jam packed week four. I twenty four hours ago was

14
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: on the field at Notre Dame Stadium, Ohio State drives

15
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: and at the end of regular puts one on the board.

16
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: I've got a whole lot to say about that. I

17
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: got a whole lot to say about what Landing and

18
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: Company did out there in Oregon at the expense of Colorado.

19
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: FSU took down Clemson yesterday, Ole Miss goes down at Alabama.

20
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: I got all kinds of week four thoughts. It's Sunday night,

21
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: it's reaction night. But I've also got some some of

22
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: those overarching points, some of the stuff that maybe we

23
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: sometimes wait until the spring or summer months to talk about.

24
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: I think we have to get into that tonight. There's

25
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: some things really going off the rails right now in

26
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: our sport. It is casual season. They are amongst us,

27
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: and we got to do our best to combat that.

28
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: I got some sneaky undefeated teams, like you know Syracuse

29
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: is undefeated right now. You know who Clemson plays this week,

30
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: by the way, I got our location, our destination for

31
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: Week five on the Once Upon a Saturday tour. We've

32
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: had back to back walk off games that we've witnessed,

33
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: by the way, so we got all kinds of stuff.

34
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: I got four early best bets for us. We've got

35
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: a jam show. I've just gone full coffee because I

36
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: haven't been to sleep since the game last night because

37
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: I said mishaps and travel. So yeah, those of you

38
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: who normally worry about my health and well being, and

39
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: I tell you don't worry about it, Tonight's the night

40
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: to worry about it. One night only. Tonight's the night

41
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: to worry about it. They're watching us in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Nazareth, Texas, Portland,

42
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: Oregon Valley, Alabama. I cannot stress in strong enough terms

43
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: if you're not following on Instagram and it's actually still

44
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: up because it was a late game last night, it

45
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: stays up for twenty four hours. At late kick, Josh,

46
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: I had some Hall of Fame shots last night from

47
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: the sideline in that Ohio State Notre Dame game. Not

48
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: to mention all kinds of behind the scenes stuff Friday

49
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: night lines. You miss a whole lot if you're not

50
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: following on the gram at Late Kick, Josh, that's the

51
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: first and last time I'll ever call it the Gram.

52
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: Let's dive in. Let's dive in friends. There are about

53
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: four or five different places I could start tonight, but

54
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: I'll start at the game that we were at last night.

55
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: I was there and it was a privilege to witness

56
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: Ohio State seven Notre Dame fourteen. You know, I got

57
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: a bunch of friends in the South because I grew

58
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: up in the South. Just a little sidebar here as

59
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: we open it, go to Notre Dame one time. A

60
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: lot of you hate them that's okay. It's okay to

61
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: go up there. If you're a hater, just go up

62
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: there and just experience that place totally unique to anything

63
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: else in college football. What I love. I always notice

64
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: this when I go in their stadium. There is not

65
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: a shred of advertisement anywhere. It is as pristine as

66
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: the day they built that place. They've done a phenomenal

67
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: job of like mixing in the modern game day atmosphere

68
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: with tradition and history. So I'm not running point on

69
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: their pr I'm just saying, awesome, awesome, awesome. Colin a

70
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: little bit later is going to show you some of

71
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: the shots that we took from inside that place before

72
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: it opened to the public. Amazing. So a lot of

73
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: times I've noticed some amongst us make final conclusions in

74
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: an ongoing game, which is always a mistake. Mem I

75
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: used to warn me about that even when I was

76
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: a WEEJP. Do not make final conclusions. Don't make these

77
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: definitives statements in an ongoing game. Yesterday, for example, have

78
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: my phone on, I'm looking down Ohio State's up ten

79
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: to oh And it's just all she wrote for Notre Dame.

80
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, Notre Dame responds and

81
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: they take the lead, and all of a sudden, I

82
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: had a dude literally start the fire Ryan Day hashtag,

83
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: or at least try and start it with me. I

84
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: bookmarked it conveniently, when they went on to win this game,

85
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: I came back to call him out and it had

86
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: been deleted. What a privilege, by the way, what a

87
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: privileged existence that must be, to just say anything you

88
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: want to say with the ability to delete it if

89
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: it turns out to be incorrect. Coaches don't get to

90
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: do that, by the way. Ryan Day did not say

91
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: that in his press conference last night, but he probably

92
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: should have. Also. Final conclusions to an ongoing season. A

93
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: lot of folks have been drawing that. What did we

94
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: talk about for about the past two weeks? As we

95
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: dive into this game a little bit. Ohio State wins

96
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: by three, they were favored by three. Little the scaling,

97
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: the getting to week three, Week four, week five, and

98
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: some teams were really good to elite rosters finding a

99
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: way to start scaling their performance. Ohio State, maybe they

100
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: did it in this game. Maybe Bama did it in

101
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: the second half yesterday. Maybe Georgia will do it this Saturday.

102
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: Maybe some of these teams with a really, really high

103
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: level collection of talent. Maybe it just takes a few weeks,

104
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: but at least they do possess the ability. Ohio State,

105
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: just give me an idea of the kind of roller

106
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: on right now. They have defeated a top ten team

107
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: now for the tenth straight season. That's a decade to

108
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: you and I. I thought about on the flight home

109
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: this morning, how I should address these Ryan Day comments,

110
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: because it's all you guys wanted to talk about. Let

111
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: me show you something right quick, Okay, Colin stawn the

112
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: key shot. I've got a helpful exercise for us all.

113
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: I would like you to find the difference between these

114
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: two pictures. One of these is Ryan Day in the

115
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: playoff against Georgia, and one of these is Ryan Day

116
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: last night against Notre Dame. And it's the same guy.

117
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: He's been the exact same guy the entire time. Can

118
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: you believe that the same guy could win a game

119
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: lose a game because ball bounced really funny ways, and

120
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: it's a game that's played on the margins when you

121
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: play high level competition. Anyway. I say that because I

122
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: have a couple of buddies in particular who wanted to

123
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: fire the dude in my left hand and praised the

124
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: dude in my right hand last night. And it's the

125
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: same guy. It's the same thing. Kirby smart ironically coached

126
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: that Georgia team you saw Ohio State fall to late

127
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: last year or early this year, whenever that Bowl game

128
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: was played. Kirby dealt with that for a long time.

129
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: Fire and fire me. He's not going to win the

130
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: big when he can't get over the hump. Oh my goodness,

131
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: he just got over the hump. He's the goat. He's

132
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: surpassed Nick Saban. He's the same guy. What are you

133
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: talking about? So Ohio State wins this game? And I

134
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: actually want to address what Ryan Day said afterwards before

135
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: I even dive into the game, because I do think

136
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: it's very pertinent. So Ryan Day's really fired up after

137
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: this game. It was not a surprise to me. I

138
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: talked to their staff when they walked in the stadium

139
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: yesterday before they kind of opened the gates to the public,

140
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: and they said, man, some of the stuff that was

141
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: said this week, he heard it. He heard it, and

142
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: he's been on one like we've rarely seen him on one.

143
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: And Ryan Day's pretty fiery behind the scenes. You talked

144
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: to him off the record, he's pretty fiery, but he's

145
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: you know who, he reminded me of. I went all

146
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: the way back to high school. In ninth grade, we

147
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: had a bus driver and named Miss Long at down

148
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: in Harris County. Shout out Miss Long, and she was

149
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: very stoic, but you knew not to mess with her.

150
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: But she never raised her voice, or at least we

151
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: never heard her raise her voice. We just knew she

152
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: meant business. And then one day there was this dude

153
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: next neighborhood over tim He decides to test her and

154
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: he does it one day and she gets on him.

155
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: But he does it the next day and it's six am,

156
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: like people are halfway asleep on the bus, and she

157
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: slams on the brakes, she throws it in park and

158
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: just loses it on the entire bus. We're terrified. We

159
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: have no clue what's happening. We always thought it maybe

160
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: bottled up deep down inside of her, but we had

161
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: never seen it. People did not mess with Miss Long

162
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. And I'm not necessarily saying

163
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: Ryan Day is my high school bus driver. I'm just

164
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: telling you I was happy when tenth grade came along

165
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: and I was able to get a driver's life because

166
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: that day, my perception of what I could and couldn't

167
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: get away with around miss long change. And last night,

168
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: when they won that game and Ryan Day decides to

169
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: go full Attitude era WWF style promo on the world

170
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: targeting lou Holtz, I didn't really see it as him

171
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: targeting lou Holtz. Lou Holtz said some things last week,

172
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: but it might as well have been anyone, because all

173
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: lou Holtz was was the temporary face of some long

174
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: standing criticism. People have criticized Ohio State's toughness for a

175
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: little while, people have criticized their mental resolve for a

176
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: little while. And it's really just an indirect or a

177
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: direct shot at Ryan Day. And so it's pretty obvious

178
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: he's heard that stuff. Now. When Ryan Day said what

179
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: he said last night, I never took it, or I

180
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: don't take it to this point, as that's a dude who,

181
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: it turns out, has relied on external factors this entire

182
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: time for motivation. I actually don't think that's the way

183
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: he's wired. What I do think he's as human, and

184
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: I do think that at some point, you can't ignore

185
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: that stuff anymore. And he was just real last night.

186
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: It was kind of like temporarily got cut open and

187
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: the real him bled out. The guy that they see

188
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: Sunday through Friday, you actually got to see yesterday. Now,

189
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: if I were him, I couldn't care less if you

190
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: like it or not. As meml once said, do not

191
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: coach to please your enemies. I was standing outside their

192
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 1: locker room as that stadium was emptying, and I heard

193
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: what it was like in there. I don't think a

194
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: single player was turned off or will be turned off

195
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 1: by his comments. I don't think a single one of

196
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: those guys aren't willing to go to the cliff and

197
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: over the cliff for him and will have that impacted

198
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: by what they think he sounded like in referencing Lou

199
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: Holtz in his comments or how Antenna eared he appeared

200
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: to be last week. That's who he's accountable to, his

201
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: locker room, his organization, that's who he's accountable to. And

202
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: so I listened to it, and look I stood. I

203
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: stood in the back of his press conference last night,

204
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: just ear to ear smile on my face because I

205
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: kind of like to see it publicly and I also

206
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: like that as a guy who has previously had versions

207
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: of Ohio State that felt like they had to score

208
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: forty five to win some of these big games. They

209
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: scored seventeen and they won on the road against to

210
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: that point, a top ten offense last night. That's the story.

211
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: We got to score at the very end. Yes we

212
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: do have that, we got Kyle McCord kind of coming

213
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: of age. Yes we have that. You got a really

214
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: good defense there, really good defense, and I know you

215
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: could pick apart this and that. That's a really good defense.

216
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: And what you saw was you saw a fight at

217
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. You saw hard nosed defense being

218
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: needed to win a game, and Ohio State being the

219
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: team that checked those boxes more thoroughly. And that's why

220
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: afterwards you had a guy really go public and take

221
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: issue with criticisms that people have made of his program

222
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: that he don't feel that he has not felt or

223
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 1: valid I thought one led to the other. I thought

224
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: that they were very connected. There's the yeah butt crowd too.

225
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 1: The yeah butt crowd is yeah, but they still struggled

226
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: to run outside of that one long run. That's accurate. Well,

227
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: Colm McCord, his play is still a little up and down. Accurate. Well,

228
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: that's suspect play calling. What do they call it, toss

229
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: suite down to the goal line. They had ten points

230
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: in four red zone trips. All these things are accurate.

231
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: You just described football at the highest level. That's what

232
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: you just described. It is not Xbox. Whenever y'all get

233
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: that game back, that's the way that game will work

234
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: when they give it back to you. That is not

235
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: the way real life football works. It's a testament when

236
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: you don't when you don't have it clicking for you.

237
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: When Ohio State's clicking, they'll beat anyone they play. It's

238
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: when they don't click that that's been a loss to

239
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: Michigan in the past couple of years. When they don't click, well,

240
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: they didn't click on all cylinders last night. I was

241
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: in there. That place was really really jacked. It was

242
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: a hard place to play, and Notre Dame had a

243
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: shot to deliver knockout blows. They didn't. They didn't. That's football.

244
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: I'm immensely appreciative when these schedule these big it's an

245
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: out of conference game for Ohio State, it's just a

246
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: game for Notre Dame. I'm really appreciative because man, they

247
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: could have all due respect. They could have both been

248
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: playing acron yesterday and we would have seen nothing and

249
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: we would have learned nothing. Instead, we got to see it.

250
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: We got to see both of them tested. One of

251
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: them came out on top. Could just as easily have

252
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: been Notre Dame. They're good enough. Notre Dame's good enough.

253
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: I was not around them postgame last night, but I

254
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: imagine some of the talk will be. Well, now, Marcus

255
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: Freeman's got to get over the hump. Some of the

256
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 1: same stuff they've said about Ryan Day, they'll probably start

257
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: to say it about him. And I'm not saying they're

258
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: not going to say it about Ryan Day. But last

259
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: game winning touchdown at home, they gave up the last

260
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: one that Notre Dame gave up at home. You know

261
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: which one it was? It was It was five, It

262
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: was usc It was when the grass was about that

263
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: high off the ground. It was the bush push. And

264
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: I not only remember the room in my childhood home

265
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: I was in, I remember where I was standing in

266
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: the room when I watched that. And to think, all

267
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: all these years later, all that's changed is the playing

268
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: surface of the field, because otherwise we're coming right down

269
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: to the wire again. I could not believe. I think

270
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: it was fourth and nineteen third, nineteen McCord makes that

271
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: pass and the fourth quarter makes another one down there

272
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 1: the goal line. You look on my Instagram story right now,

273
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 1: it's coming right in your frame. Unbelievable. Just the overall

274
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: aura of this game was pretty pretty special. And I

275
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: get to go to a handpick game every week, but

276
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: this was pretty amazing. But I told you guys at

277
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: Big Ten Media Days, Ohio State felt different than any

278
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: team I had been around at Big ten Media Days

279
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: or SEC. And they kind of played like it last night.

280
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: And I know sometimes that's kind of anecdotal after the

281
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: fact stuff, and I'm not telling you it's not here.

282
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that's where my mind was. They walked

283
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 1: in Big Ten Media Days in Indianapolis like they had

284
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: been briefly taken out of a military camp to put

285
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: on a suit and come talk for a few hours.

286
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: But they knew they were going right back to military camp.

287
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: And it's kind of the way that walked in the

288
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: building last night. It's the way they handled themselves in postgame.

289
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: It's just it's a locked in organization. That doesn't guarantee

290
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna win. It probably maximizes your potential to win.

291
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: But I'm excited to see where the team goes because

292
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: they're still vulnerable. You know, Colin, did you show their

293
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: schedule already? Yeah? There you go. So they've got a

294
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: game against Penn State in a month, and then they

295
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: go to Wisconsin, and they've got at Michigan at the

296
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: end of the year, and just you don't know, because

297
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: if you're not ripping people to shreds offensively, you're going

298
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: to have a lower margin for error approach to life.

299
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: And you could have randomly a game at Perdue on

300
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: October fourteenth that you have no business being close in

301
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: be a little closer than anticipated. But ma'am, that was

302
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: a big win for Ohio State last night. Like I

303
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: called it a program definer in many ways, I think

304
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: it is now. Some of you were quick to note,

305
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: how can that be a program defining win for a

306
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: team that's played for a championship recently, They've won the

307
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: Big Ten, they've been in the playoff recently. I'm saying

308
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: it's a program definer is because the program looks different

309
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: now than it did then. They just won a game

310
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: last night in a way that they never would have

311
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: had a prayer of winning a game in the fashion

312
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: of a couple of years ago. Like when is the

313
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: last time Ohio State in a big game against the

314
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: legit offense was going to hang seventeen and get the win.

315
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: That doesn't happen in years past. So this is a

316
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: program definer, and in a lot of ways, it's the

317
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: most complimentary style of ball that we've seen Ryan Day

318
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: teams play with. Because I'll tell you this, like I

319
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: told you in week one, and I'm going to stick

320
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: with it. I'd a whole lot rather than be flexing

321
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: defensively early in the year and me just rolling the

322
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: dice and taking a blind chance that a Ryan Day

323
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: team will get it figured out offensively, I'd a whole

324
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: lot rather be in that boat than them needing to

325
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: score fifty because they're giving up forty five every week.

326
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: So that's where I think we are now. Unbelievable, Colin.

327
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: Do you have that footage? By the way, So I

328
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: got in the stadium yesterday before it opened. I grew

329
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: up in forts and Georgia. This place right here. If

330
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: you're watching on podcasts, just picture a screensaver. That is unbelievable.

331
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: That is absolutely unbelievable. Touchdown Jesus over there. They just

332
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: regilded the Golden Dome, and I know that those helmets

333
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: and that golden dome look kind of shiny on TV.

334
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: You ought to see that in person. I don't really

335
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: think that translates very well on TV, even with the

336
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: fourteen K deaf. Bradley and I always talk about frame rates.

337
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: Even with the frame rates the way they are these days,

338
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: it just doesn't translate. Go to a game there, if

339
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: you can, it's gonna be pricey. It is worth it,

340
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: because we believe in buying memories around here. Lease the fun,

341
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: buy the memory. Let's move on. I had an accident here,

342
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: one of many today, and I accidentally turned my computer off,

343
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: so we may briefly get some sound. No we don't, okay,

344
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: So I appreciate all you guys being tuned in live.

345
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: I feel like Travis Hunter while we're playing a Colorado game.

346
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: I'm just online here during my own show. For those

347
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: of you who know you know, and those of you

348
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: who don't don't worry about it. So I have got

349
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: in my hand a headline. I'm pausing here because I'm

350
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: contemplating whether I want to out the source you. Let's

351
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: take a sip of coffee and will out the source. Colin.

352
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: I want you to start the video here. This is

353
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 1: a problem. And this is a headline from Sports Illustrated.

354
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: Maybe you've heard of that outlet, and it says, the

355
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: college football world, that's you, that's me. The college football

356
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 1: world was stunned by Oregon's blowout wind over Colorado. A

357
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: three touchdown favorite won a football game handedly, and you

358
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: were stunned. I was stunned. We weren't stunned, No, we weren't.

359
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: This is the Dion tax. Those of you who thought

360
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: I sounded like an idiot last week when I introduced

361
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: you to the Dion tax were coming in droves to

362
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: me yesterday and the DMS and saying, wait a second,

363
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: you were right about this whole deon tax. The word hater,

364
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: the word overrated, overhyped, disrespect. I think we need to

365
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: hit time out on the use of every one of

366
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: these words until, as a collective, we learn the definitions

367
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: of these words, because a lot of you are thrown

368
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: out the word hater to describe things that are not

369
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: hate at all. If I do not root for the

370
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: same thing you root for. That is not hate. That's

371
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: just called competition, that's just called entertainment. So against the

372
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: backdrop of all this, we had a football game Oregon

373
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 1: as predicted Roles Colorado forty two to six. It shouldn't

374
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: have been close. It wasn't close. The same things win

375
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,239
Speaker 1: in this game that have always won. Now, there are

376
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: different ways to dress it up, but if you're gonna

377
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: get dominated and overwhelmed at the line of scrimmage to

378
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 1: the degree Colorado did yesterday, you will lose ten times

379
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: out of ten. There's really no fluctuation there. It's quite

380
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: beautiful in the brutal simplicity of it all. Colorado never

381
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: had a shot in this game. They never would have

382
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: a shot in this game. That includes with Travis Hunter

383
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: inserted into the lineup. Now I need to pause, and

384
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: I need to let you know, because if you're new

385
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: to our show, it may sound like I'm coming at

386
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 1: it from an anti buff's point of view. I'm not

387
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: at all. I'm a massive fan of what Dion's done.

388
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: What I'm not a massive fan of is this group

389
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: of folks. In my profession. I try not to be one,

390
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: but there's this group of folks, this little cabal, if

391
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: you will, of people who know that it's in their

392
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: best financial interest to generate hype. And that's okay because

393
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: we profit off that here as well. I've done a

394
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: ton of Dion videos. But the difference is there's real

395
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: money to be made in pumping enough air into a

396
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: balloon that it pops and then making fun of the

397
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: balloon for popping. Because you benefit going and coming, you

398
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: benefit both ways. You see how that works. I overinflate

399
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: the expectation level for a team. I over hype a

400
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: team because I have a massive platform to do it.

401
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: Then they go bus based on my falsely inflated expectation

402
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: for them, and then I call them a bust, and

403
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: I call them fraudulent instead of referring to myself as

404
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: a fraud. I saw this all over the country yesterday,

405
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: and it angers me because there's no room for a

406
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: nuance based conversation. The nuance based conversation should sound something

407
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: like this. Oregon's a top ten team, Colorado has no

408
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: business competing with them this year. Even as the season

409
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: started off in an unexpected win against TCU and Nebraska,

410
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: there still was coming a time where they were badly

411
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 1: outmanned at the line of scrimmage. And this was never

412
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: going to be a competitive game. It wasn't and it

413
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't be if they played it again next week or

414
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: the next week or the next week. But what happened

415
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: you saw Dan Landing get real fired up about it.

416
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 1: What happened is there was a lot of talk coming

417
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 1: from Dion's camp. I'm not saying they don't run their

418
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 1: mouth out there. I never minded. As long as you're

419
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: going to play folks on the field, I don't mind

420
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: you say whatever you want to. I think a lot

421
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: of the animosity and a lot of the wild just

422
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: like casual out of this world takes yesterday, were from

423
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: drive bys who don't really know anything about this sport,

424
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: but they know Deon Sanders, and so they just started

425
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: to run their mouths aka the Deon tax, the prime tax,

426
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: if you will. And then others are just people, just

427
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: people who want to generate controversy because they don't know

428
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: anything about football, but they do know this stuff sells.

429
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: They know that cells and so they can win in

430
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: that market. There were padlock stats everywhere in this game.

431
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: Padlock stats all over the place. Oregon had more first

432
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: downs than Colorado had total yards in the first half.

433
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: That is a padlock stat. Shudoor Sanders had one hundred

434
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: and fifty nine yards passing. Now, knowing the style of

435
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: ball they play at Colorado, we knew Schudur had to

436
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: go off. He had to absolutely go off. And that's

437
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 1: not going off because they were not going to run

438
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: the ball effectively. And Oregon had touchdowns on six of

439
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: their first seven drives. Those were the padlock stats. If

440
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 1: I tell you that Friday, you probably don't even need

441
00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: to watch this game. But I don't. I want to

442
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: say I told you so because that's played. That's old.

443
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: But again, I know we get a lot of new

444
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: traffic on the Colorado videos, so I just want to

445
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: I want to tell you you saw a lot of

446
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: stupid things said yesterday. You probably heard a lot of

447
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: stupid things. I hope you didn't participate in it on

448
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: either side of this. But Colin, let's dial it up,

449
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: and just for the sake of memory, let's go back

450
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: to last week. I don't know when it's gonna happen,

451
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: whether it's this week against Oregon or next week against

452
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: the usc but whenever someone does get a good piece

453
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: of Colorado. You know what's coming. It's gonna be so dumb.

454
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: Some of the conversation is gonna be so stupid. You're

455
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: gonna have a bunch of folks saying I told you

456
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: so about Colorado losing a football game when they were

457
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: supposed to lose. What was the count nine of them

458
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: or ten of them according to Vegas Yeah, yeah, shocker.

459
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: If they do lose Saturday, they lost to a top

460
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: ten team. Shocker. And here we are Colorado lost to

461
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: a top ten team. Shocker. No, actually, I think the

462
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: word was in the headline fraudulent. That's a word I

463
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: actually saw yesterday by an esteemed member of the college

464
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: football media to describe Colorado overrated and overhyped. I saw

465
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: a ton. We call this the recalibration of expectation on

466
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: this show. I just described it to you. It is

467
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: people who have really no other ability than to create controversy,

468
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: and they get to define who you are. Like that's

469
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: the entire way that this world works in college football,

470
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: up to any including ranking systems. That's why I stay

471
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: away from rankings and I only do power ratings. They

472
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: rank you wherever they feel like ranking you, and then

473
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: when you don't live up to their expectation, they get

474
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: to call you the failure. What a foolproof system that is.

475
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: How does anyone ever get fired? How does anyone ever

476
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: lose their job in this profession? I don't know. So

477
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: Dan Lanning went nuclear yesterday before the game, during the game,

478
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: after the game, he went nuclear. And I told you

479
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: guys in March, and I reiterated it in summer and

480
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 1: in fall camp. I knew a lot of coaches didn't

481
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: really care for Dion Sanders. It didn't bother me because

482
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: I like Dion Sanders. But if I was a coach,

483
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: maybe i'd feel a different way about him. This is

484
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: not a Taylor Swift song. It is not a Disney movie.

485
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: You don't just get to arrange things in a way

486
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: that makes you feel good. This is competition at the

487
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: highest level. These folks are after each other's throat. It's

488
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: always that way behind the scenes. Dion's a lot more

489
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: high profile. So when someone just publicly outs themselves as

490
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: sort of have an animosity and no love loss for

491
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: the other side, maybe it catches your eye and ear

492
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: a lot more because it pertains to Dion. But dude,

493
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: Dan Landing yesterday when he goes off in that pregame

494
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: speech and then they start blasting it all over the country.

495
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: He wasn't saying anything. Several dozen other coaches don't feel

496
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: right now. Now here's the difference. Some people try and

497
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: inject race into that, and I've dodged it and I'll

498
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: continue to dodge it because I think largely it's nonsense.

499
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: I think there's probably a small sliver of that conversation

500
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: that is fueled by people who just don't like Deon

501
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: Sanders because of the color of his skin. I think

502
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 1: there is a huge, like ninety five percent chunk of

503
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: that pie of people who don't like him, who don't

504
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: like him if they don't for reasons that have nothing

505
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: to do with the color of his skin. I had

506
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: someone tell me the other day, they say, Josh, you

507
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: know why I don't like Deon Sanders. I said, why

508
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: is that? Because it reminds me of Johnny Manziel And

509
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: I said, do tell Although I knew where they were

510
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: going with that little anecdote there, But you know, it

511
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: is possible to just have a guy who possesses characteristics

512
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: you don't like. That is possible. But in the coaching industry,

513
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 1: in the coaching industry, when you see what Dion's doing

514
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: and then you know you're going to face them. And

515
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: I'm in my hotel Friday night and I'm watching Landing

516
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: on the Sports Center and he gets asked like seven

517
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: questions about Dion said, oh no, oh no, and then

518
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: Saturday there he is. It is like someone pulled the

519
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: chord on Dan Lannings back and they let that thing

520
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: go and finally you kind of heard the Dan Lannings

521
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 1: some folks behind the scenes. No, that's him, that's him.

522
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 1: He's been really good up until this point in his

523
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: career of handling himself in a way that is aesthetically

524
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: pleasing from a strict pr perspective. But I'm not a

525
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: fan of it. I'm a fan of raw. I'm a

526
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: fan of you giving me whoever you are, same reason

527
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: I love Deon Sanders. Deon Sanders is not produced, as

528
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 1: we would say in our business at all. You just

529
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 1: get Dion Sanders. There's very little filter at all. I'd

530
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: love it if every coach was like that, because I

531
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: don't get offended by anything, so I don't really care

532
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 1: what anyone says as long and this is the condition

533
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: as long as the folks you talk about you have

534
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: to play, as long as they're on your schedule. Like

535
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear Sam Pittman's thoughts on Deon

536
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 1: Sanders right now because they're not going to play. But

537
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: I have no problem here in Dion's thoughts on Landing,

538
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: Landing's thoughts on Dean, I got no problem with it.

539
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: I kind of have no problem with any of it. This,

540
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: no one got no one got hurt yesterday by those words,

541
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: everybody's okay. Deon Sanders didn't seem fractionally as outraged about

542
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: it as other people who have nothing to do with

543
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 1: it did. It's kind of like, kind of like a

544
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago or last week when they played

545
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: Colorado State, there were folks calling for the Colorado State

546
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: safety to lose a scholarship, and Deon steps to the

547
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: podium and says, no, he made a football play, he

548
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: made an error in judgment, he got flagged for it.

549
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: We forgive him, Travis Hunter forgives him. We should move on,

550
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: No get him. Why are you more outraged than he is?

551
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: Same thing yesterday, football game happened, Colorado got splattered. Dion

552
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: Sanders said, we got to learn from it. We gotta

553
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: get back to work. Dan Lanning was all fired up.

554
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 1: That's it. That's competition, that's what it is. And I'm

555
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: looking over here on this, on this h Josh and

556
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: I got folks fired up like they had skin in

557
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: the game. You don't have more skin in the game

558
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: than either of them do. So I don't know what

559
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: Dan Lanning will sound like money at his press conference.

560
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be apologetic for anything. I'd do the same

561
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: thing Ryan Day does. I'd walk in my locker room,

562
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: and if those dudes were receptive to my message, I

563
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: couldn't care less what anyone thinks outside my locker room.

564
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: Burn the bridge, Burn the bridge. Some of these folks

565
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: who you kind of seek affirmation from you don't need.

566
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: You don't need at the end of the day, an

567
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: upset sports writer or an upset television commentary or host.

568
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: It's just that it's an upset writer or an upset host.

569
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: They have nothing to do with whether you win or

570
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: lose a game. As for the PAC twelve, right now,

571
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: it's insane. It's competitive out there. The season is long.

572
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: We're not even in October yet, We're not even We're

573
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: not even through September yet, and it feels like the

574
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: Colorado story has already gone fifty seven different directions. But

575
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: we got Utah, who I'll talk about later in the

576
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: thick of it. We got Southern cal We got Oregon, Washington.

577
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: Washington State kind of stunned me last night. I'll talk

578
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: about them later too. Ucla, I think will still make

579
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,959
Speaker 1: some noise. Oregon State is in this thing. It is

580
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,479
Speaker 1: such a deep conference right now, and I wonder if

581
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: in a month and a half some teams have separated

582
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: themselves or if it still just looks that competitively balanced.

583
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: Because the odds right now to win that conference, we

584
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: still got four teams plus six hundred or better and

585
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: that's USC, Oregon, Washington, in Utah. It's an amazing conference

586
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: to watch right now. So that's how I feel about

587
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: that currently. Like I, I also have learned this, I

588
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: have learned it's kind of impossible to talk about Colorado

589
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: or Deon Sanders and expect everyone to actually listen to

590
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: what you said, because it's not gonna happen. People are

591
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: gonna hear about two or three words into your first sentence,

592
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: and then they're just gonna start typing, So I expect

593
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: that in the comment section, and quite frankly, maybe I

594
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: even welcome it. Academy Sports and Outdoors welcomes you. You

595
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: go in there, and it's it's almost like it's almost welcome,

596
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: Welcome to college football, Welcome to Academy, and they got

597
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: everything you need. Is the seasons transition right now. Academy

598
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: Sports and Outdoors your one stop shop for all your

599
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: outdoor sporting goods needs. You got your grilling, you got

600
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: your camping, you got your kayaking. Eventually winter's gonna get here.

601
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: You got your winter clothing. You got everything that you need.

602
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: And if you can't get there in person, Academy dot

603
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: Com is there for you. And more and more, I

604
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: get those receipts sent to me. I don't publicize every

605
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: chalice of supremacy we send out, by the way, Sometimes

606
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: I just send them out at random. Someone sends me,

607
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: you know, an Academy receipt where they purchased a brand

608
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: new Yetti or Igloo cooler, and here you go, here's

609
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: a chalice. It's not a guarantee, but it's a good shot.

610
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: Academy is Where's Nowdors makes this show free of charge

611
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,959
Speaker 1: to you, and so, while Academy probably could not go

612
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: to Chicago, Illinois and get the keys to my apartment

613
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: right now for me where I could have my white

614
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: T shirt to wear. Short of that, they could probably

615
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: come through with anything else, and I'll probably get a

616
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: text from my Academy rep saying forget your keys, we

617
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: could have just gotten you a T shirt from our store.

618
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,719
Speaker 1: Thus the beauty of having Academy as your partner. All right,

619
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: let's roll on in the show. Just sip in hardcore

620
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: coffee here. The chalice is mainly decorative tonight because the

621
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: liquid in this chalice, while it looks it looks strong,

622
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: it's not strong enough. We just got to go black

623
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,719
Speaker 1: coffee right now. Got a lot more show to go.

624
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: I got to give a shout out to Ryan Harris.

625
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: Ryan Harris played at Notre Dame, played in the NFL,

626
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: does radio right now, does all sorts of different things.

627
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: The dude should just run the hospitality industry in this country,

628
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: because ned us so well up at Notre Dame yesterday.

629
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: Any tailgate we wanted, any food, any drink we wanted,

630
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: went over to the athlete's first bus and watched the game.

631
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm about to talk about go down. So just boom,

632
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: hat tip Brian Harrison Company. FSU thirty one, Clemson twenty four.

633
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: It actually happened. Mike Norvell and the Knoles actually went

634
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: in there and they got the win. And am I

635
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: sensing now I've been on the road. Okay, maybe a

636
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: little foggy right now mentally, So you told me if

637
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, But I I think I'm sensing a little

638
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: recalibration of expectation with Florida State Jesse Colin, yes or no?

639
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: Because I tend to remember just back in preview magazine season,

640
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: people said, man, they'll probably lose to LSU. Now, certainly

641
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: they'll they if they lose to LSU, maybe they'll beat Clemson,

642
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: or maybe they'll lose to Clemson. They're gonna lose at

643
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: least one of those games. They'll be an underdog in

644
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: both of those games. Well, as it turns out, they

645
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: weren't a dog in both of those games. And as

646
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: it turns out, they won both of those games. And

647
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: here we are and they're four and oh and I

648
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: heard an alarming amount of yeah, but they only ran

649
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: it for twenty two yards. Yeah, but Florida State didn't

650
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: really deserve to win that game. If Florida State, man,

651
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: they got lucky. What are you talking about? So Florida

652
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: State's the best team in the ACC right now? They

653
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: were Look, I think they're better than Clemson. Clemson could

654
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: win this game five times out of ten. Yesterday, it's

655
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: coin flip game. Dabbo in his post game was right

656
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: about that. Dabo expressed some other sentiments I'll talk about

657
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: in a second, But Florida State's first lead in this

658
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: game was in overtime. That's incredible. That's absolutely incredible. Listen

659
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: to these numbers. These are what we call faux padlocked stats,

660
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: pad not stats. These would fool you if I told

661
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: you Friday that Florida State was going to be four

662
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: of thirteen on third downs, it's not good. They're gonna

663
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: be outgained by over one hundred and fifteen yards. Doesn't

664
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: sound great. One point one yards per carry sack adjusted.

665
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: That can't work. Clemson twenty five to sixteen first down advantage.

666
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: How did they win? They threw it deep, That's how

667
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: they won. I had Ryan McGrady aka stats an Info.

668
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 1: Go look up how many times they threw the ball

669
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: physically over twenty yards downfield. They threw that thing downfield

670
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: eleven times yesterday it felt like one hundred. They completed

671
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: what four of them, Jesse, I can't remember what it was. Anyway,

672
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 1: the threat was there all day. That's a career high.

673
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: They have never thrown Travis Hunter has never thrown the

674
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 1: ball in a game that far downfield that many times.

675
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: You want a padlock stat, though I gave you a

676
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: bunch of fake padlock stats. What I actually have and

677
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: what ended up winning this game is a padlock socked

678
00:34:53,840 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: Colin roll it. Yeah, it's all about the ball. Thirty

679
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: six points off the turnovers. Just process that in four games,

680
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: and all of last year was thirty eight. That's it.

681
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: That's how they won turnovers. Points off turnovers. That's a

682
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 1: pretty wild stat. By the way, Clemson already at the

683
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: amount of points they gave up off turnovers an entire

684
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 1: season last year through the first four weeks. Yeah, how

685
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: do you prevent that? You make sure the game's out

686
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: of reach. That's unrealistic in games where you're this evenly matched.

687
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 1: I know. This is the first time Clemson has lost

688
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: back to back road or back to back home conference

689
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: games since twenty ten. That's a long time ago, they've

690
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: been dominant. Obviously, they've been dominant in conference play. So

691
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: I took it upon myself to listen to Dabbo postgame,

692
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: and he said, in response to a question about whether

693
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 1: this was a statement about the future of the ACC,

694
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 1: he said, this is not a referendum. I don't even

695
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: know what that means. Two things, I think dabos when

696
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: he knows what referendum means, and number two, I know

697
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 1: what he's trying to say. The point he made was, what,

698
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: so now we don't win it one year. I think

699
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: they've won seven or eight in a row. So now

700
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: finally we don't win it one year and it's a referendum. No. No,

701
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: if I were to say it, that wouldn't be my point.

702
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 1: My point going into the game has been a lot

703
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: more broad in nature. Frankly, Clemson could have won this

704
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: thing by three and I still have questions about their approach.

705
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: So I've been kind of careful with the way I've

706
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: handled this because I got so much respect for what

707
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 1: he's done there, and I got respect for someone who

708
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: has a way of doing things that works and he

709
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: adheres to it. I've got respect for that. My personal

710
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: view As I've told you many times before, is they're

711
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: simply voluntarily hamstringing themselves, handcuffing themselves when it comes to

712
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: talent acquisition. Now, what I'm not telling you is I'm

713
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: not telling you the trend for portal decided this game.

714
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: It did, though, because Florida State has the players they

715
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: have because of the portal. That's the part. No one

716
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 1: ever thinks about everyone when you say Clemson's costing themselves

717
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: because of the portal, they only look at it as

718
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: a one way street. They only ask you, well, what

719
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: player from the portal can you prove they would have

720
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: gotten that would have won this game yesterday? I can

721
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: pick about four of them that, if Florida State didn't

722
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: have from the portal, probably would have made this game

723
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: go the other way. That's the point. It's not just

724
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: you sitting still in the portal, it's the other guys

725
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: using the portal Like That's if I got promised that

726
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: they wouldn't use it, I wouldn't care if I use

727
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: it or not. In fact, if I'm Daboswiney and you

728
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: can promise me my competition won't use the portal, I'd

729
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 1: much rather not use it. I'd much rather go recruit

730
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: and home grow my talent. Yes, that's a perfect world. No,

731
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 1: we don't live in one anymore. And by the way,

732
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: now that we've got this result out of the way,

733
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 1: what's happening in the ACC Florida State looks to be

734
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: for real. I don't just mean this year. I mean like,

735
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 1: as a program, they look to be for real. Clems

736
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 1: is not gonna fade into the abyss by any stretch.

737
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna happen. I just I just

738
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,919
Speaker 1: think that there's some work to be done there. That's

739
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 1: like the most generic statement. I was just doing that

740
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: because I have something in my teeth. I think I

741
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 1: got it out. Okay, we're good. Miami is the enigma

742
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: because Miami's blowing people out right now. But it was Temple,

743
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: so they really, you know, they they've played A and

744
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 1: M and then since then we haven't seen them. They

745
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: played Bethune Cook when they play Temple. I am very

746
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: excited to see the meat of conference play present itself

747
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 1: North Carolina. I'm gonna talk about them later, but man,

748
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 1: Clem's is I think they're out of the playoff picture.

749
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: I think they are. I don't I want to be

750
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 1: so careful with that because in the season of chaos,

751
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have a two lost team in

752
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: the playoff. I'll throw that out there. So maybe it's Clemson,

753
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: maybe it's not. I just they may not be done

754
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: losing either. I don't think they're done losing. So it's okay.

755
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: It's okay. Like David was talking about yesterday, I agree

756
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: with him. I agree with him in theory, you don't

757
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: write someone off after this many years of success when

758
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: they finally have the down year. He is absolutely right

759
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: about that. But he also followed it up by saying,

760
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 1: when he's bringing in true freshmen, he said, Hey, these

761
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: guys will come in here and we'll be right back

762
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: to where we were and they'll have another couple of

763
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: championships in their future. I don't think it's that clear cut. Certainly,

764
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: that's how I would recruit. I'm not disagreeing with him.

765
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: There be as boisterous and as prideful and as positive

766
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: as you want to be. But the days of Clemson

767
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: as currently constructed, running roughshot over that conference are over.

768
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean they can't dominate. It just means the

769
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: way they've dominated is going to be a thing of

770
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: the past because there's a new way to win. And

771
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 1: until they take advantage of it and then learn to

772
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: be ahead of the curve on it and then learn

773
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: to use it to dominate, you're gonna have stuff happened

774
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: like happened yesterday. That's the long and short of hard

775
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: to figure out in theory. The difficult part is, are

776
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: you going to change anything about your practices? Let's move

777
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 1: it on customary sip from this this very impoverished looking

778
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: cup of coffee for an impoverished looking individual. Tonight, I'm

779
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: wearing black. I have not showered since last night's game.

780
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: I have not showered. Management did invite me over to

781
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,240
Speaker 1: his house, and for that I will give him credit.

782
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: It just I don't know if you've ever been invited

783
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: to their home before where you live, but it always

784
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 1: feels like there may be a string attached somewhere. You

785
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: never see it never, It's never visible to the naked eye.

786
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: So I'm suspicious of this. I'm appreciative on the surface,

787
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: but I'm suspicious beneath the surface. We'll see. Maybe we'll

788
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: take a poll on Twitter later whether I should spend

789
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: the night at Management's house. Probably a live stream would

790
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: result from that at some point. Hey, Alabama beat all Miss.

791
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: Yesterday Alabama won a conference game they covered. Now here's

792
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: the question. In this twenty four to ten win, did

793
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: we see the ignition switch turn? Did we see the

794
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: ignition point? Baby steps? Here with Alabama baby steps. I'll

795
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: say this, this is a big point of contention in

796
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: Alabama circles right now. Everyone swears they know what did

797
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: and didn't happen last week at USF. I am just

798
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: gonna ask you for those and I'm gonna let you

799
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: draw your own conclusion. For those of you who watched

800
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: Alabama play USF and those of you who also watched

801
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: the second half of this game, can you honestly tell

802
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 1: me those look like the same two teams from an

803
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 1: effort standpoint? Because I can't. They look like totally different teams.

804
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave it there. You can draw your own conclusion.

805
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: You see who started at quarterback in this game. They

806
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: didn't play flawless. They will not play for all this

807
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: all year. Their goal, as is the goal with any team,

808
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: is to maximize their potential. Right now, and I'm up

809
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: in the Notre Dame press box yesterday and they look

810
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,720
Speaker 1: horrific offensively in the first half. And I was telling

811
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: someone I was talking to because they were saying, man,

812
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: this has got to be it for Alabama, like they're

813
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 1: gonna lose four or five games, And I said, that's

814
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: the current trajectory they're on. Yes, indicates they've got multiple

815
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: losses coming. I said, you cannot ever punt on these

816
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 1: talented teams, these really talented teams until they are actually

817
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: in the ground and buried. Do not punt on them.

818
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: You can have doubt. We all got doubt. We've all

819
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: had some doubt about Alabama this year. But I'm telling you,

820
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: I've seen it too many times. I've seen too many

821
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: times where it's like it's like the undertaker. These talented

822
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: teams just they just sit up from what appeared to

823
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: be dead on arrival, and all of a sudden, you

824
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: start to feel a little rhythm, and you start to

825
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: see defense with defense and making plays for them all year,

826
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: but all of a sudden, you start to see, oh

827
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 1: there's a first down. Oh there's another first down. Man,

828
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: remember when that used to just be the norm. And

829
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,439
Speaker 1: then you get a little flow, you get a little

830
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: mojo about yourself, and all of a sudden you're texting

831
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: your buddy saying, dude, this looks like a different team

832
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,760
Speaker 1: the second half of this game, and then it carries

833
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: over to the next week, and then the next week,

834
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, a month down the road,

835
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: you beat a team comfortably and you text that same

836
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: buddy and say, where was this team in week two?

837
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: Where was this team in week one? So what that's

838
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: not is a guarantee Alabama will ever fit that description.

839
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 1: What it is is a reminder of the past and

840
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: what's happened many times. As long as teams haven't mailed

841
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: it in, and they've got the ability, they've got the

842
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: talent level, it's never impossible, even when it seems very unlikely.

843
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 1: Second half yesterday, something clicked for him. Maybe it was

844
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: a one week thing, maybe it was a thirty minute

845
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: of one week thing, but they held Lane Kiffin an

846
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: ole Miss to the lowest scoring output they've had in

847
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,399
Speaker 1: a conference game he's been there. Defense is playing well.

848
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: Dallas Turner looks like he's playing about as high level

849
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 1: as any defender they've had in quite a while. That

850
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: includes thirty one last year. Dallas Turner's playing outside his

851
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: mind right now. So I've I got a statement that

852
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 1: I think we've all said or thought, and it sounds

853
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 1: something like this. The Alabama team we saw against Texas

854
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,919
Speaker 1: and the Alabama team we saw last week against South

855
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 1: Florida isn't going to win anything of note. Well, that's true,

856
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 1: that's true. What that forgets is there's no guarantee that

857
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: Bama team's going to be the one that shows up

858
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:41,439
Speaker 1: every week. Same with Ohio State. The Ohio State team

859
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: we saw against Indiana Wood and what they wouldn't have

860
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: beaten Notre Dame last night? Right, Well, luckily a different

861
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 1: Ohio State showed up. Luckily a different Bama showed up

862
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: yesterday in the magic. Isn't it crazy how that all

863
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: of a sudden happens, especially when conference play arrives. So

864
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 1: now they're in conference play and it's not really a

865
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: whole lot of time to work on stuff. Now you

866
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,760
Speaker 1: just kind of got what you got. I'm not writing

867
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: them off yet, not writing them off yet. Team is

868
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 1: still capable of a lot of things. And let me

869
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:13,720
Speaker 1: remind you, you've kind of become conditioned during the Tua

870
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 1: and Mac Jones and Bryce Young era. You kind of

871
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: become conditioned to think well, they're not really capable of anything.

872
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,320
Speaker 1: Less they're scoring forty a game, Well, that's because defense

873
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 1: has been off standard the last few years. For him too.

874
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: If their defense is playing like it is right now,

875
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: even against Texas, man, they had Texas in a quagmire

876
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: until they kept giving the ball up second half in

877
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 1: Texas finally got enough opportunities to put some points on

878
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: the board. If their defense keeps playing like this, they

879
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 1: don't need forty a game. It's a tight way to

880
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: play football. But they used to be masters at it.

881
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin, Lane Kiffin, I saw a stat floating around

882
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: earlier today. I wish I could attribute it. I cannot remember.

883
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,280
Speaker 1: I remember the number sadly, So if this is your stat,

884
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: this is a great stat. Well not if you're Lane Kiffin,

885
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:06,760
Speaker 1: but whoever found this. He is one in nineteen versus

886
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 1: Power five teams that finish with nine wins, or more so,

887
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: the ones that go on to be good. In other words,

888
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: he is one in nineteen versus those teams. I'm not

889
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: saying like hot seat or anything like that. Nothing close

890
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: to that. I'm saying out of all the time he's

891
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: been there, what's the win you think of when you

892
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:30,280
Speaker 1: think of Lane Kiffin, like what's the big win? Because

893
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 1: I don't think he has it. I don't think he

894
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: has that career defining like Landmark win at Ole Miss.

895
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: Unless I'm just plainly forgetting one. I don't really think

896
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: he has it. That doesn't mean it's not gonna happen

897
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: later this year. He just doesn't have it yet. And

898
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,879
Speaker 1: I was kind of surprised when I saw that because

899
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 1: I just in my mind I picture it differently. But

900
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:53,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe my mind has failed me. Today

901
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: they're watching us in Calhoun, Nebraska, Fort Calhoun, Nebraska. Actually

902
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: they're watching us in Hilliardo, Ohio, and a Los Crusis,

903
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 1: New Mexico. I told y'all we had representation in New Mexico.

904
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: Let me put the chapstick on right quick, because even

905
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: though I don't have my keys, I cannot access my

906
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: apartment or my vehicle. At least I got my trusty chopstick.

907
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: If you're watching By the Way Live, it would do ours,

908
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: It would do us a world of good around here

909
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,359
Speaker 1: if you would just click subscribe, subscribe to the channel

910
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 1: like the video. I am not kidding you when I

911
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: said I was walking off the field at Notre Dame

912
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: Stadium last night. I was walking towards the tunnel, Ohio

913
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: State's tunnel. They're walking off the field there. Everyone's going crazy,

914
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: and I don't know which one of you it was,

915
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: but whichever one of you was standing in the crowd

916
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 1: yelling at the top of your lungs Ohio State number

917
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: one of the JP pole, I thank you. I thank

918
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 1: you because a bunch of folks around you heard it,

919
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: and I got a bunch of smiles and comments about

920
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,280
Speaker 1: that later outside of their locker room. So I toast

921
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: from me to you. I can't guarantee you anything, because

922
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 1: the model has a mind of its own, as we

923
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: have established, but I got a pretty good feeling that

924
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 1: Ohio State maintains number one status. However, we live in

925
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 1: a world where Washington looks like they could devour anything

926
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: in anyone at any given time right now. So who knows,

927
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: by the way, say that out loud, Washington University of

928
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 1: scariest looking team in the country right now. Yep, there

929
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 1: you go. Welcome to twenty twenty three. I got several

930
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: more games to get to in about oh I'd say

931
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 1: between five and ten minutes from now. I'm going to

932
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,800
Speaker 1: announce where we're headed for the week five tour stop

933
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: on the Once upon a Saturday Tour. We've had back

934
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 1: to back weeks of last play walk off style scores

935
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 1: and it's been fascinating and I'm gonna probably blow your

936
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: mind with where we're going this week. You will not

937
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: expect that one Texas A and M twenty seven and

938
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: Auburn ten. This was not the most esthetically pleasing game

939
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: to watch yesterday, but I have good news. You don't

940
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 1: have to watch it. Boom boom boom. That is at

941
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,399
Speaker 1: least three padlock stats in this game. Get a load

942
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: of this. I'm gonna assume, unless you're a fan of

943
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:15,360
Speaker 1: each team, you did not watch this yesterday. Auburn was

944
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:20,399
Speaker 1: nine of twenty three for fifty six yards passing. If

945
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 1: I told you that Friday, you don't bother turning this

946
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: game on. So that that's the Auburn passing game yesterday.

947
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,240
Speaker 1: And I want you to keep in mind, Okay, DJ

948
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: Durkin and the Old Miss or not the Old Miss,

949
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,959
Speaker 1: the A and M defense, Hats off, hats off, hats off.

950
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 1: Tyler Van Dyke threw for three seventy four and five

951
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,439
Speaker 1: touchdowns on the same secondary, so they can be had,

952
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,359
Speaker 1: just not by Auburn, which was funny. I was over

953
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:48,400
Speaker 1: on Tech SAgs Friday. Billy Luci did not know it,

954
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 1: but I was snooping around there, and some of you

955
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: guys were a little bit concerned with what Hugh Freeze

956
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: and Auburn would do to your secondary. Did you guys

957
00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 1: not know they didn't have a single receiver over two

958
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: hundred yards this year. I didn't get it. I just

959
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: didn't get it. And apparently Dj Dirkin didn't either. He said,

960
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 1: someone's gonna get me this year. But h you Freeze. Nah.

961
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 1: Here is the second padlock stat from this game. A

962
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 1: and M got seven sacks on Auburn. They got fifteen

963
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 1: tackles for loss. That's their most since twenty seventeen in

964
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: a game. Oh padlock stat number three this spore paper.

965
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 1: A and M's defense forced a punt or a turnover

966
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: on downs on ten of eleven drives for Auburn. And

967
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 1: the bloody truth of it all is on the screen

968
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 1: right now, or was if you're watching on YouTube. So

969
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,320
Speaker 1: Connor Wegman, in the midst of all this, Connor Wegman,

970
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: that quarterback goes down for a and M and Max

971
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: Johnson came in and they were fine. They were fine.

972
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: Johnson was seven of eleven, one hundred and twenty three

973
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 1: through the air, threw two touchdowns, and you know what,

974
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:57,839
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna get glossed over nationally. Johnson didn't

975
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 1: hit the portal and A and M didn't have to

976
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: panic as a result. And you know what, because A

977
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 1: and M was favored and because they won, most people

978
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: don't even know Wigmann got hurt yesterday, and it looks

979
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: like he's gonna be okay. I'm waiting for you know,

980
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: more official word out of college station. It looks like

981
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna be okay. But just think about that now,

982
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: because if he goes down and Auburn wins this game yesterday,

983
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 1: no one forgives them just cause their quarterback went down.

984
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 1: You would have had a bunch of folks sitting on

985
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: the front porch shelling, Well, that's why your recruit depth,

986
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 1: that's why you gotta have I'll shock a strying quarterback

987
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 1: worth the flip. Well, they do. And therefore you didn't

988
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 1: even know he went down because most if you be

989
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: real with yourselves, you didn't watch this game. You just

990
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 1: saw the final score. Credit Texas A and M for

991
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: being prepared, not panicking. Defense took care of business. Auburn's

992
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: defense can keep them around in games like Auburn's defense

993
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: is not the problem here. But they got they got

994
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 1: a couple of decisions to make at Auburn. Number one,

995
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 1: They got to make a decision on quarterback because I'm

996
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 1: kind of ready to say Peyton thorns and I it

997
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: or not exclusively it, And I don't know that Robbie

998
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: Ashford is. I don't know that the other kid is.

999
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 1: I don't know that kind of no, ma'am. He's got

1000
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: a long, long road ahead of you in sec play.

1001
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: And the other thing is, it was kind of curious

1002
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: listening to Hugh Freeze in the postgame question play calling,

1003
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 1: and I wonder because they got Georgia coming up this week,

1004
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: so I wonder. You know my theory on this. You

1005
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: know my theory that when everything seems to go wrong

1006
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:33,959
Speaker 1: with a team whose head coach specializes on the side

1007
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: of the ball that didn't went wrong on, they're very

1008
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:40,879
Speaker 1: dangerous the next week because what happens is sometimes they'll

1009
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: just turn everything upside down, and sometimes you'll have a

1010
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:46,359
Speaker 1: quarterback change out of the blue. You'll have a lot

1011
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 1: of schematic change, You'll have play calling change, and that

1012
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 1: is throwing stuff against a wall. Sometimes it sticks, though,

1013
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you got a totally different

1014
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 1: version of that team. And George is like a seventeen

1015
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: point favorite next week, and all of a sudden, it's

1016
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 1: just this team was lifeless against A and M. Now

1017
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 1: it's a dog fighting at Georgia. You know that happens

1018
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: all the time. So I expect a lot of shuffling

1019
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,400
Speaker 1: on the planes this week. We'll see what it means.

1020
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,240
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on, you know what, Let's announce.

1021
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 1: Let's announce the week five destination for the Once upon

1022
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 1: a Saturday tour. Yesterday was tough. Now I ended up

1023
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 1: at the right game obviously, Notre Dame Stadium, Ohio State,

1024
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, But man, we could have been at Clemson

1025
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,760
Speaker 1: Florida State just as easily would have seen an overtime

1026
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 1: classic down there and would have gotten home earlier. So

1027
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:39,879
Speaker 1: where are we going this week? Well, I had I've

1028
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:44,279
Speaker 1: got some angles on this one, Colin, go ahead and

1029
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 1: show them, and then I'll tell you. We're going to Georgia, Auburn.

1030
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: We're actually going to Auburn this Saturday, one week after

1031
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:54,839
Speaker 1: they looked like they looked yesterday. We're gonna be down

1032
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: on the planes at Jordan Hare Stadium. It's first time

1033
00:53:57,560 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: we've seen Georgia this year. I don't know how many

1034
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 1: times we will see them. And I'm just looking at

1035
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:07,240
Speaker 1: the game. The line is seventeen. I'm playing a hunch

1036
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 1: on this one. Could be wrong. Haven't been wrong so

1037
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 1: far this year, very often on picking these games. I

1038
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 1: just think a different kind of effort is in the

1039
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:19,479
Speaker 1: works this Saturday, and therefore I think maybe a little

1040
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 1: bit tighter game is in the worst. Georgia going on

1041
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: the road for the first time. Just really interesting to

1042
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 1: see how this one plays out. So we'll be down

1043
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 1: there looking forward to it. Obviously, haven't been Auburn this year.

1044
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 1: Haven't been to a Hugh Freeze Auburn game yet, so

1045
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 1: looking very forward to that one. Remember, as of like now,

1046
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 1: the brand new once Upon a Saturday shirt for this

1047
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 1: week is on sale inthepatestatematerial dot com store. Jordenhir Stadium September.

1048
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,040

1049
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,840
Speaker 1: lower twenty twenty three. It'll be there for one week

1050
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,399
Speaker 1: and then it'll be gone. I don't know that we'll

1051
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 1: be at Auburn again this year, so that's probably probably

1052
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,959
Speaker 1: the only Auburn shirt that will have on the tour

1053
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,560

1064
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 1: and I've got five more teams to talk to you about.

1065
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it pretty fast, but we're not even

1066
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: close to done. And I got four best bets for you,

1067
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:47,759
Speaker 1: So we are completely emptying the barrel tonight and the

1068
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: coffee cup. Where should we start you know, we had

1069
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 1: Cole Kublick on the show Thursday and a lot of

1070
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,839
Speaker 1: you harassed him, which and in general since I'm fine with,

1071
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,439
Speaker 1: but you got specific on your harassment and you said

1072
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: he was an idiot, just a lumbering, babbling fool that

1073
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:13,320
Speaker 1: Cole Kubrick for suggesting that Arkansas would keep it close

1074
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:18,920
Speaker 1: with LSU, which brings me to my next point. Arkansas

1075
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,359
Speaker 1: almost beat LSU yesterday. The final was thirty four to

1076
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:26,400
Speaker 1: thirty one, fourth consecutive three point final in this series.

1077
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:30,359
Speaker 1: How about that stat courtesy of producer Jesse. I think

1078
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:35,720
Speaker 1: the Mississippi State outcome kind of inflated the perception of LSU.

1079
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: Right now. LSU is not a great team right now.

1080
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: LSU has been handled by Florida State. They played an

1081
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 1: FCS opponent and then they went to Mississippi State against

1082
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 1: a team that has proven to be very bad and

1083
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 1: did exactly what they should against a bad team. The

1084
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: problem is everybody just assumed all was right with the

1085
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:58,359
Speaker 1: world after that Mississippi State game, and in reality it's not.

1086
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:00,840
Speaker 1: They've still got the same leaky secondary they had in

1087
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 1: Week one. They've still got some of the same issues

1088
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 1: they had and they can win with them. Obviously they

1089
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:09,319
Speaker 1: did yesterday, but this was a problem game for them.

1090
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 1: They could not pull away from Arkansas. Arkansas had three

1091
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 1: red zone trips and scored nine points off of them.

1092
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 1: So as much as as much as LSU's secondary sprung

1093
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 1: a leak, at least they tightened up a little bit

1094
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 1: when they got down in the red zone. But I mean,

1095
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 1: it's You're gonna have games like this this year. Just

1096
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 1: is the way it is. So LSU wins. What about

1097
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:32,919
Speaker 1: Washington State though, Dude, this is the one that caught

1098
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: me by surprise. I don't do best bets, like I

1099
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 1: don't elevate one of our bets over another one. But

1100
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 1: if I did, Oregon State minus three minus two and

1101
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 1: a half is one I felt really good about. And

1102
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 1: we were just so wrong. There's no there's no like

1103
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: explaining this one away. We were just wrong. I was

1104
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 1: standing on the I was I was on the sideline

1105
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: last night at the Ohio State Notre Dame game. In

1106
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: case you didn't hear me say that fourteen other times.

1107
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 1: I was talking to some of our friends from NBC,

1108
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 1: who legally I'm not supposed to acknowledge the existence of

1109
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 1: but I was talking to him anyway, and one of

1110
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 1: them leaned over and said, look at this, and I looked,

1111
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: and it was cam Ward's first half stats in this game.

1112
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: That's the quarterback for Washington State, for those unfamiliar, nineteen

1113
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:25,439
Speaker 1: of twenty two hundred and ninety three yards and three

1114
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the first half against Oregon State. The humanity.

1115
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:36,440
Speaker 1: And so I'm sitting there thinking that I actually said

1116
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 1: this had Crowbar in the bicycle spokes potential, and instead

1117
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: Washington State was on a motorcycle the whole time. So

1118
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 1: they went at thirty eight thirty five. I am so sorry.

1119
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 1: I am I've never looked at this camera Colin. I've

1120
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: never looked at it before. I apologized to coach Jake

1121
00:58:56,200 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 1: Dicker because I should I should have believed, and I

1122
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 1: did not believe. I doubted. I doubted Washington State. I

1123
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: heartily picked against them. I thought, frankly, they'd be a

1124
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 1: little exposed, and instead they did the exposing. It's great

1125
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 1: in life when people expect you to be the exposed

1126
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 1: and instead you're the exposer. Sometimes it can land you

1127
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 1: behind bars. Other times it can land you in the

1128
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 1: top fifteen of a random Polar ranking. On Monday, and

1129
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 1: thankfully for Washington State they're the latter. That's yet another

1130
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 1: team to add to the board in what is an

1131
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 1: insanely deep PAC twelve right now. Speaking of which, speaking

1132
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 1: of whiffing in the PAC twelve, I've always claimed to

1133
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: be Pack twelve paiate. I've never claimed to be able

1134
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 1: to pick games particularly well out here, But those of

1135
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 1: you who follow the show know there is one team

1136
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 1: that I've never been right on, and it is Utah.

1137
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 1: And the street continues. I am now roughly O for

1138
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 1: seven hundred and forty three picking Utah games they won yesterday?

1139
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 1: Why because I thought they Wouldn't I have direct ConTroll

1140
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 1: the outcome of Utah games. You guys better hope I

1141
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 1: keep picking against you, is all I can say. Fourteen

1142
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 1: to seven was the final here. One point eight eight

1143
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 1: yards per carry for UCLA. That's a padlock stat. I

1144
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be Dante MOR's coming out party.

1145
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 1: Not this week, maybe in the future, not this week.

1146
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 1: UCLA's defense I feel like it's almost a wasted effort

1147
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:26,600
Speaker 1: because I kind of got what I halfway got what

1148
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:29,439
Speaker 1: I thought i'd get here. I thought UCLA's defense would

1149
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 1: dial it up and they did. Like I said, you

1150
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:36,439
Speaker 1: would think you would think fourteen that'd be good enough

1151
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 1: to win. Nope, you hung seven. Turnovers were the name

1152
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 1: of the game here. So again, as is usually the case,

1153
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: I pick against you on Thursday, and then I come

1154
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:48,040
Speaker 1: here and I apologize on Sunday. Utah. To their credit,

1155
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 1: Utah fans are not toxic about this. There's just a

1156
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 1: good hearted, jovial back and forth between us. Now. They

1157
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 1: know I'm doing them a favor every time I pick

1158
01:00:56,480 --> 01:01:03,440
Speaker 1: against them. Circle of life stuff. Yeah, it's a splattering.

1159
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 1: They splattered Baylor. It's a splattering. Thirty eight to six.

1160
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 1: Texas held Baylor to six of twenty three on third

1161
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:14,520
Speaker 1: and fourth downs gross, five sacks yep, eight tackles for

1162
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 1: loss YEP. Texas has Kansas this week and then Oklahoma.

1163
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 1: Kansas is gonna make any noise. We'll see. They're undefeated

1164
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:30,680
Speaker 1: right now. How about North Carolina. North Carolina was trailing

1165
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:34,439
Speaker 1: Pitt last I looked last night, and then I'm about

1166
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 1: to drive back to Chicago and lo and behold, they've

1167
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 1: pulled away forty one to twenty eighth. The final. Florida

1168
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 1: State's been running some really good interference for North Carolina.

1169
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 1: It's because of North it's because of Florida State. Right

1170
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 1: now that most of you are unaware, North Carolina's undefeated

1171
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 1: and they still are. Now. Pitt open hot in this

1172
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 1: game too. Pitt landed one right across North Carolina's jaw.

1173
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 1: They had one hundred and fifty two yards in the

1174
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 1: first quarter, I think, and then all of a sudden

1175
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:04,160
Speaker 1: it ground to a halt. The best I think for

1176
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 1: North Carolina is still ahead. You watch them play and

1177
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 1: then they win, but you find yourself saying, wow, but

1178
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 1: they had this, this and this and this go wrong

1179
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 1: and it's not quarterback quarterbacks. Great for them, but it

1180
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 1: feels like that team can get better. So maybe North

1181
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 1: Carolina's one those scale teams. But friends, that's that is

1182
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 1: child's play compared to what I have to talk to

1183
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:34,920
Speaker 1: you about now. I'm not really sure. Well, I have

1184
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:36,919
Speaker 1: poor posture right now. So the first thing I'm gonna

1185
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 1: do straighten up. I'm not really sure how to tell

1186
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 1: you this, but Penn State beat Iowa thirty one to

1187
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 1: nothing yesterday and it was, as Sarah McLaughlin a special

1188
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 1: as you could ever have. Colin dial it up. I

1189
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 1: present to you the Iowa drive chart yesterday.

1190
01:02:55,720 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 2: Punt fumble, punt, punt, punt, punt, punt, fumble, punt fumble.

1191
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:09,200
Speaker 1: This is gonna sound like a typo, but it's not.

1192
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:15,920
Speaker 1: Penn State ran ninety seven plays in this one. Iowa

1193
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:21,400
Speaker 1: ran thirty three. They ran twenty one more plays than

1194
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 1: Iowa had yards in the game. Let me repeat, Penn

1195
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 1: State ran twenty one more plays than Iowa had yards.

1196
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 1: They outgained them by three twenty one. Drew Eiler looked good.

1197
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 1: Penn State is good. Run games, still searching, It doesn't matter.

1198
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 1: They body bagged Iowa. This is this is what happens

1199
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: when you, guys, running up costs me money. When you

1200
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 1: play Western Michigan the week before. This is what happens.

1201
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 1: Four first downs, seventy six total yards for Iowa, one

1202
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 1: of nine on third down, four turnovers, and there's Penn

1203
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 1: State just chugging merrily along. This is a violent drive chart.

1204
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 1: This is whereas it's over here. Yeah that this, kids,

1205
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 1: This is not how you play offense. If you're listening

1206
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:11,840
Speaker 1: on podcasts, just picture something violent. That's pretty much what

1207
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 1: it looks like. Quickly. I needed to go through this

1208
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 1: list with you guys, right quick. I don't know if

1209
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:22,200
Speaker 1: you're aware. We got a lot of undefeated teams in

1210
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 1: this sport, and I don't think many people are paying attention.

1211
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 1: You know, Syracuse of the Atlantic Coast Conference, Syracuse is

1212
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:32,960
Speaker 1: undefeated right now. Did you catch the game against Army

1213
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 1: or Purdue or Western Missigan or Colgate. Don't lose to toothpaste.

1214
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:41,280
Speaker 1: Everybody's losing a rice these days, so we got to update.

1215
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 1: Don't lose to toothpaste. Well, Syracuse didn't. They beat him

1216
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:48,520
Speaker 1: sixty five to nothing. Syracuse is four to oh. They

1217
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 1: get Clemson this week, then they go to North Carolina,

1218
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:56,360
Speaker 1: then they go to Florida State. Go one of three, guys,

1219
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 1: Just go one of three there and I'd be happy

1220
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:05,040
Speaker 1: with you. Missouri undefeated. Missouri Tiger's undefeated right now. Now.

1221
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:06,920
Speaker 1: You watched them, well we did because we were at

1222
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 1: the game. We saw him beat Kansas State. But they

1223
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 1: squeaked by Middle Tennessee the week before, they squeaked by

1224
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 1: Memphis yesterday. I'm interested to see where this goes from here.

1225
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:19,360
Speaker 1: They go to Vanderbilt this week and then they got

1226
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 1: LSU at home. Remember last year, Remember how they were

1227
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:28,360
Speaker 1: two and four and one possession games, and already they've

1228
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 1: got three of them under their belt now and they're

1229
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:34,040
Speaker 1: three and zero in those interesting times. Did you know

1230
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 1: that when they play in Saint Louis like they did yesterday,

1231
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 1: they call it Miszoo and the lou Because I didn't.

1232
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 1: I was last week years old when I learned that.

1233
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 1: Kentucky sound the blue alarm. They're still undefeated. They've played

1234
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:51,480
Speaker 1: ball State, they've played Eastern Kentucky, Akron, and at Vanderbilt,

1235
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:54,880
Speaker 1: all double digit wins. So they've they've done what they should.

1236
01:05:54,880 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 1: They've been brutally efficient. It gets real in a hurry

1237
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 1: for Kentucky starting this week they play Florida, then they

1238
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 1: go to Georgia, then they've got Missouri in there. There's

1239
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 1: a bye week before they played Tennessee, Mississippi State, Alabama,

1240
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:12,360
Speaker 1: South Carolina, and Louisville back to back to back to

1241
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:16,640
Speaker 1: back to back to close the year. So with Kentucky,

1242
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 1: they've they've built up ahead of steam. But who didn't

1243
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 1: expect them to be four and oh at this point?

1244
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 1: Pretty much every win day, it just looks a lot

1245
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 1: better once you've got the win secured. But now they

1246
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 1: got Florida this week, big game. We gave consideration to

1247
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 1: going there for the once upon a Saturday Tour big game.

1248
01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 1: Kansas is undefeated. Kansas plays Texas this week. Kansas is

1249
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:40,680
Speaker 1: a seventeen point dog to Texas this week. Jalen Daniels

1250
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 1: that quarterback seventy five percent completion percentage so far this year,

1251
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:50,040
Speaker 1: so he's tearing it up. He's healthy. They've beat Missouri State, Illinois, Nevada,

1252
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:56,080
Speaker 1: Brigham Young, Great, wonderful, good grand But now we got

1253
01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 1: Texas and then we got UCF the next week. So

1254
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 1: conference play is upon us and last but not least,

1255
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 1: because we talked about this team a number of times

1256
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 1: in the summer, Sorry had something in my throat. Louisville

1257
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 1: is also undefeated. And Louisville's the sneaky the sneaky team

1258
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:17,720
Speaker 1: that we circled in the preseason because I told you

1259
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 1: they don't play Noted Well, they don't play Clemson, they

1260
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 1: don't play Florida State, they don't play North Carolina. They

1261
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:28,600
Speaker 1: dodge all the big boys in conference play. Now that's

1262
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 1: the bad that's the good news. The bad news maybe

1263
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 1: is it turns out Duke's pretty good, it turns out

1264
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 1: Miami's pretty good. You do have to play them. Also,

1265
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 1: you've got Notre Dame coming up in a few weeks,

1266
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:39,680
Speaker 1: and I don't think Notre Dame's going anywhere anytime soon.

1267
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 1: So you know, it gets it gets tougher, But Louisville's

1268
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,080
Speaker 1: just gonna sneak around all year. I'm pretty convinced that

1269
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:47,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna be there in the end and people can say, well,

1270
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 1: louisll where'd you come from? Oh, we've just been here

1271
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 1: the whole time. Let's talk about some best bets. Uh.

1272
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 1: The ram Noodle Express started four and oh yesterday and

1273
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 1: we proceeded to lose every one of the lakes and

1274
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 1: a couple of them. I'm a little sideways about because

1275
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure how it happened, because the last

1276
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 1: time I looked at halftime, I felt good. Anyway, we

1277
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:12,960
Speaker 1: are still over five hundred for the year. I would

1278
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:15,000
Speaker 1: like to get some distance on that number this week.

1279
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 1: And so we are jumping on four of these numbers.

1280
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:21,320
Speaker 1: If you followed on Instagram at Lake Kick Josh, you

1281
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:25,280
Speaker 1: already got them. Iowa State plus twenty one. Oh oh,

1282
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:29,120
Speaker 1: hold on hold on just a second now, Hung thirty four,

1283
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:33,599
Speaker 1: Hung thirty four on Oklahoma State yesterday and to win.

1284
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:36,760
Speaker 1: So we're back, like Iowa States all the way back.

1285
01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:39,800
Speaker 1: You think Bama's back, Iowa State is back. They're playing

1286
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:42,720
Speaker 1: Oklahoma this week plus twenty one, will take it. Next up,

1287
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 1: Fresno is laying twenty two and a half. We'll take that.

1288
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 1: I believe they're playing Nevada. Michigan's going on the road

1289
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 1: this week. Michigan is giving Nebraska eighteen and a half.

1290
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:57,120
Speaker 1: We'll take every one of the points for the home

1291
01:08:57,160 --> 01:09:00,880
Speaker 1: team there. And last but not least, San Diego State

1292
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:03,360
Speaker 1: goes on the road to air Force and San Diego

1293
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:05,439
Speaker 1: State is plus ten and a half and we're taking that.

1294
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:08,320
Speaker 1: Aztecs plus ten and a half, Huskers plus eighteen and

1295
01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:11,600
Speaker 1: a half, Bulldogs of Fresno's State minus twenty two and

1296
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:13,760
Speaker 1: a half, and we'll take the Cyclones of Iowa State

1297
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:18,200
Speaker 1: plus twenty one. Guys, it has been a challenging but

1298
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:22,800
Speaker 1: very rewarding twenty four hours, and so I've got to

1299
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 1: go try and find some lost things that I hope

1300
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:31,240
Speaker 1: are found for me, namely vehickel keys, etc. But as

1301
01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:33,759
Speaker 1: for this show, I appreciate you always making it possible.

1302
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 1: We're always loaded on a Sunday night. It's it's a

1303
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:37,760
Speaker 1: rush to get back here and put it together. But

1304
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:40,320
Speaker 1: when we got director Colin and producer Jesse and Bradley

1305
01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:43,320
Speaker 1: the Associated in the house, magical things can happen. I

1306
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:46,599
Speaker 1: appreciate you guys so much. Back here, same time, Tuesday night.

1307
