Speaker 1: many years. You know him as Dan Rubinstein. Sir, how

Speaker 2: And I actually just filled out a new passport application

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 2: and it does ask if you are known by any

14
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 2: other names. So that just sort of triggered me when

15
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: you said he is known by I don't think I

16
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: have any other name.

17
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: You don't have any any nefarious aliases? No, I hope

18
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: that I never do. But I'm great, Ty. Life is good.

19
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 2: The Espianation College football crew is in town for a

25
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 2: of fun things are happening, which means I think we'll

00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: be eating a lot of food in the Yeah, forty

27
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,240

28
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: How much time would you say, collectively, you as a

29
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: as a singular entity in the foody world, have put

30
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: into what kind of eating arrangements there will be during

31
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: said meetings.

32
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 2: So we planned tomorrow Night's like nicer meal a couple

33
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: of weeks ago. Myself and Ryan plan that. But I

34
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: don't know what I'm having for dinner tonight. We don't

35
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: know we're having for lunch tomorrow. It's tough because there's

36
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: gonna be like seventeen or eighteen of us total, so

37
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: with video crew and everything like that. But generally, I

38
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: just in my own head, I'll give it a considerable

39
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: amount of thought. Yeah, I figured out, Okay, I want

40
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: everybody to get a real New York experience.

41

46
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: since two thousand and eight. I have, I really have

47
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: Okay iTunes dot com slash Solid Verbal. Oh yeah, if

48
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: you like the show, we'll be here all off season.

49
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: I enjoyed the hell out of the show we did

50
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: a week ago. It was a fun one. Right, this

51
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: is it. Go back and listen to it if you

52
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: didn't yet, or even if you just want to hear

53
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: the sound clips again. That was your idea for a

54
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: little off season game that we can play. And of course,

55
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: now this show is dropping on March first, and whoa

56
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: coming in? Hot? Okay? Have you ever heard of the

57
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: common expression that March comes in like a lion and

58
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: goes out like a lamb? Ty?

59
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: Because I am not an aunt in Kenosha, Wisconsin, I

60
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: have not. You have not heard I when you asked

61
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: me about this and we're telling me about Tridia, I

62
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: had never heard of that expression.

63
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: See, Southern California has spoiled you, my friend, in like

64
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: a lion and out like a lamb? Has has the

65
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: Solid Fiance heard of this expression?

66
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: I actually didn't ask her. I imagine she has. I mean,

67
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: there's no weather in southern California that would come in

68
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: like a lion, So everything's cool in March.

69
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: In like a lion, out like a lamp. So it's

70
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: I'm guessing something most people listening to this show have

71
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: heard of. But if not, allow me to explain the

72
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: month of March for those of us who don't live

73
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: in southern California. Typically we'll start off in cold, unpleasant

74
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: some would say ferocious fashion weatherwise, but then as the

75
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: expression goes, it ends in a mild and pleasant and

76
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: peaceful manner, just like a lamb, right in like a lion,

77
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: out like a lamp. In the college football world, mister Rubinstein,

78
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: there are a number of players and coaches, teams, all

79
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: sorts of things that enter twenty seventeen, and what I

80
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: would say is a rather un certain and tumultuous state. Sure,

81
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: all right, it makes sense, and so this game today

82
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: in like a lion. It is gonna be incumbent on

83
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: you and I to determine whether these things go out

84
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: like a lion, or go out like a lamb, or

85
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: go out like any other creature in the animal Kingdom.

86
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: We're not just gonna limit it to a lamb or

87
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: lion or anything, but all of them to some degree,

88
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: are entering twenty seventeen in the season, in the off season,

89
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: and the long doldrums of summer, like a lion licking

90
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: some wounds. That's right. So I've got a bunch of

91
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: stuff before me, which I was hoping to discuss. Really,

92
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: we're just trying to trying to look a little bit

93
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: into the crystal ball, Gonna have some fun with animal sounds,

94
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: you know, all the usual stuff. Love it. We're gonna

95
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: jump right in here. If you're ready. I'm ready, Ty,

96
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: Let's start coming in like a lion. Man, that's ferocious.

97
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: It is coming in like a lion. Is Butch Jones. Yeah,

98
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: Currently the head football coach at Tennessee. He has recruited

99
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: the hell out of Tennessee football, done a really good

100
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: job bringing in talent and last year Dan you could

101
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: definitely make a case that he had the most talented

102
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: team in the SEC East. Fought some injuries, had some

103
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: close wins, some bad losses, but by a large had

104
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: a very talented team. The Tennessee hype train was running hot,

105
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: real hot at the start of the show at the

106
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: start of the year. Clearly that did not work out.

107
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: Did not work out, No, And I would say no.

108
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: So it was a tumultuous finish to Tennessee season. And

109
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: now I think it's rather uncertain for him. Butch Jones

110
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: as he now enters twenty seventeen, Dan, Butch Jones enters

111
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen as a lion, he will go out as

112
00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: a do you want me to answer? Please? Please? Okay,

113
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: just making sure.

114
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: So Tennessee and Butch Jones something that the Internet loves

115
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: talking about and enjoying, you know, not always because they're good,

116
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: but just they just appealed to the Internet. And I

117
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: would say that their progress has been slow moving, fair

118
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 2: to say, yeah, so what I'm feeling right now more

119
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: of the same. We're gonna like gawking, but we're not

120
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: going to see a ton of motion, a ton of

121
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 2: movement as they try to ascend to the college football glitterati.

122
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 2: So I'm going to say in like a lion, out

123
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: like and I had never heard this animal speak, and

124
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 2: the sounds of this animal before, out like a sloth.

125
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: A sloth, I need to play that again, A sweat

126
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: a All right, So what what's sort of the sound

127
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: that Butch Jones makes every single time a Tennessee player

128
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: gets hurt. I was thinking that, So, what what qualities

129
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: of the slow are you applying here to your logic?

130
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: Internet loves sloths? Right, Yeah, that's true.

131
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: The Internet does love a good sloth, sloth, very slow moving.

132
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 2: I explained this at the top tie. I just don't

133
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 2: believe Tennessee the progress has been glacial. They're fine, I'm not.

134
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: I just think they're gonna be out like a sloth.

135
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: I haven't seen more of the same. They have to

136
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: replace a good amount they are. And to honor our

137
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: good friend Bill C, the immortal, the number one everything

138
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: in college football, I believe, and I have this in

139
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: front of me, Tennessee is one hundred and ninth in

140
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: the country in returning production in twenty seventeen.

141
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: Okay, so I sort of feel.

142
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, fifty one percent of their production is coming back,

143
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: which is good for one hundred and ninth in the

144
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: country out of all if.

145
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: That's usually indicative of a step back. And I'm glad

146
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: you brought up the total production returning stats that Bill

147
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: C has put out there, because I've I'm going to

148
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: reference that here in a little bit of well simbodycoat.

149
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: So you're saying a sloth, do you do? Thank you?

150
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: Do you think that Butch Jones is going to be

151
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: employed at Tennessee in twenty eighteen? No? I agree? Do not? Yeah?

152
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: I agree, And I'm not going to go the sloth route, Okay.

153
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: I am instead going to go with another big presence

154
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: in the animal kingdom sort of slobbery, certainly bark being

155
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: worse than his bite. I am told that that is

156
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: the authentic barking sound of a Saint Bernard. Okay. St

157
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: Bernard's are very helpful. Though they're helpful, they're nice. He's

158
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: never gonna like attack the intruder, you know, He's just

159
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: gonna be there and hope maybe that the intruder gets

160
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: scared away because he's such a big dog.

161
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to say, because Butch Jones

162
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 2: looks like he could be the number three villain in Beethoven. Okay,

163
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: that Saint Bernard makes a lot of sense.

164
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: But okay, you can have yours too, going Saint Bernard.

165
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: All right? Up next, let's stay on the coaching side. Please,

166
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: let's talk about a gentleman who went seven and five

167
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: last season, Dan, h we might be wondering, well, how

168
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: did he do in twenty fifteen. It's funny you should

169
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: ask you went seven and five regular season in twenty fifteen.

170
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: You might say, all right, well two in a row

171
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: is what's that? How do you do in twenty fourteen

172
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: went six and six Water Bowl game over Texas went

173
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: seven and six overall. I'm talking about Brett Beilama, Bert

174
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: Beilima Bert at Arkansas, Dan, are you not going to

175
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: play the sound I have this? I have to pull

176
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: it up here. I have a whole animal soundboard that

177
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: I've compiled here. So we'll get to the Bert sound

178
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: here when you least expect it. But I think it's

179
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: fair to say that Brett Beelama now enters twenty seventeen

180
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: like a bit of a line maybe not like Moufasa,

181
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: but certainly as a himba, you know, a lining cub there.

182
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: There's definitely some uncertainty and some tumultuousness in the situation

183
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: that he currently finds himself Dan. So sure, for the

184
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: purposes of our little game here, Brett Bieleman enters like

185
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: a lion, he goes out like a So my line

186
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: of thinking is I'm going with pitbull here, pitbull. So

187
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: I'm going with a ferocious pit bull, but not the

188
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: one you're thinking of. Ty, You're not going Daley here, right, Okay, No,

189
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: I am going so you are going Dollay. I think

190
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: no matter what happens in twenty seventeen with Arkansas, Ret

191
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: Bilma's still gonna have a good time. I think he's

192
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: literally going out like a like the literal person pitbull.

193
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 2: Not Yeah, there's something consistent about Brett Bielima, you know,

194
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 2: in what he wants out of offense and what his

195
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 2: team sort of seems to finish the season as like

196
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: they seem to end with promise, even though this year

197
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 2: the Bowl game probably less so. But I think there's

198
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 2: there's going to be that consistent energy from Bett Brett Beilama,

199
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 2: even if he's fired after this year, I still think.

200
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: He's going out like fitball. All right, Well I have

201
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: the sound, Oh there it is there you go, just

202
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: for you, thank you. What is he going out with?

203
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: In your way? I'm saying a cheetah. Really, I'm saying

204
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: a cheetah because if he's already a lion, a cheatah

205
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 1: is the same basic cat mm hmm. But a lot

206
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: better at running okay, and that's really the main difference.

207
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: Arkansas struggled to run the football consistently a year ago,

208
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to point to that as the

209
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: sole reason why they didn't perform better than seventy five

210
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: regular seasons seven and six if you count the Bowl

211
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: loss to Virginia Tech. But it was one of the

212
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: elements that I think a lot of people looked at

213
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: and said, Wow, this is this is not something we're

214
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: accustomed to seeing. We like Rolly Williams, Rowley Williams is

215
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: gonna be really good. But they just didn't get the

216
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: production in the line up front. They did in some games,

217
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: they didn't in others. It was just a really inconsistent

218
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: offensive effort, especially when it comes to running the football.

219
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: So I think they will improve that in twenty seventeen.

220
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: The problem is that the SEC is always really good.

221
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 2: We could also reference the linebackers in the open field

222
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: chasing after speedier players on other SEC teams or other

223
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 2: teams in general, and just to hit that sloth sound again, TI,

224
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 2: we could go sloths sound.

225
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: We could go sloth again, and I don't think you'd

226
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: be wrong about that, But I'm feeling pretty much the

227
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: same trajectory for Brett Bielma in twenty seventeen is twenty sixteen,

228
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: but maybe some improvement running the football, which is why

229
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: I say cheetah. Okay. Also, did you know that a

230
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: cheetah when it's not or growling, makes like a really

231
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: high pitched meowing sound. Do you have the sound? I

232
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: don't have the sound, but I was listening to it

233
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: on YouTube. Yeah, damn it really high pitched. Okay, Uh,

234
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: where do you want to be? Watch? Have you watched

235
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: any of the Planet Earth too yet? All I've seen

236
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: so far is that clip of the iguana versus the snakes. Oh,

237
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: the little lizard, not iguana, but yeah, the tiny little lizard. Yeah.

238
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: Oh incredible. I have the best sports highlight of the year.

239
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything else so far, but neither of

240
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: them forward to it.

241
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 2: I am so excited. Have we let's see isn't really

242
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: I mean, there's smoky, but that's you know, the volunteer

243
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 2: is not an animal. Uh, we've got the razorback. I

244
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 2: love I love good nature documentaries and wild boar razorback

245
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 2: kind of thing. Suey Oh, yeah, I would absolutely watch that.

246
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: So you're a big fan of the animal Kingdom, and

247
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't used to be a fan of animals.

248
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: What how do you what I did possible? I didn't

249
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: used to take animal seriously. I just didn't like I

250
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: would if I were cornered by a bear or something. Yeah,

251
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: then you wouldn't. You wouldn't watch Animal Planet? Not really,

252
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: not really. This is another thing that the solid wife

253
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: has now introduced into my life. This is why I'm

254
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: a better man.

255
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 2: What is your number one? Animal Planet? Nature documentary type.

256
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: Show? Not the show itself, but subject. What animal are you?

257
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: Just like I can't get I know you love space,

258
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: but like, what animal can you not get enough of? Seals? Really?

259
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: That's an interesting answer, I got. I gotta go seals? Yeah,

260
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: why seals? Just a good sea line? Scratches me right

261
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: where I itch it always happened. But like you, you

262
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: would watch footage, a lot of footage of seals doing

263
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: their thing. Yeah. Do you prefer the aquatic or the

264
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: land portion of the seals life? I prefer the seal pups. Actually,

265
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: see I love a good elephant seal. Okay, yeah, but

266
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: my number one is the orca, the killer Well, we

267
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: talked about this before, which which says a lot about

268
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: about our dynamic. Yeah, that you're more of a prey

269
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: guy and I'm more of a predator guy. Interesting. Also,

270
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: monkeys gotta I love a good monkey. It's hard not

271
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: to like the monkeys. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't

272
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: know how we got talking about this, but okay, we

273
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: were talking about the SEC. So let's let's stay in

274
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: the SEC as a whole. We'll come back to There

275
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: are a couple other SEC topics here that maybe we

276
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: can address. But I want to talk about something I'm

277
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: going to refer to here, coming in like a lion,

278
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: very ferociously. SEC Conference superiority, Dan, did you know that

279
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: only one team last season had fewer than four losses?

280
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: I did now that time we've been over this. The

281
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: East has no clear cut favorites at all. The conference

282
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: has a quarterback problem, which maybe we can discuss a

283
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: little bit later. And for the first time in forever,

284
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: the discussion was not about the SEC being the best conference.

285
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: We were talking about the Big Ten. We were talking

286
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: about the ACC. Dan, For how long was the SEC

287
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: this planetary body around which the fabric of college football bent?

288
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: This past year? Not so much the case, not great,

289
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: not great. Only one team with hewer than four losses

290
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: coming in like a lion Dan, it will go out

291
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna say a bear, Okay, and I'm gonna

292
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: say bear because what is a bear market? Ty? Bear

293
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: Market's a bad market. It's not a great market. Some

294
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: people are selling. Yeah, I like the quarterbacks.

295
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 2: I just I'm not seeing complete teams perhaps other than

296
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 2: Alabama that I believe in at this point, returning talent wise,

297
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 2: A lot of questions about LSU, A lot of questions

298
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: about texts A and M, and if they're gonna turn

299
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 2: any sort of corner.

300
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: Tennessee.

301
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 2: We talked about the loss of production there, lost of

302
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 2: production with Arkansas. Florida's quarterback situation is Luke del Rio.

303
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 2: The long term answer is at Felipe Franks, Georgia. We

304
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: have no idea if that offense can take a step

305
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 2: forward that I have very little confidence. So right now

306
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 2: I'm bearish on the UH on the SEC. But also

307
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 2: I think there's a bit of a hibernation situation. Okay,

308
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 2: I think the old Miss situation. You know, we were

309
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 2: hurting depth in the West, So I don't have a

310
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: bear sound, but I know you were talking before the

311
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: show that you're very good at roaring.

312
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: So I don't know if I could do the roar

313
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: Dan Okay, so I don't have a bear sound. I

314
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: could try a roar if you want.

315
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 2: No, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna compromise and

316
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 2: let's go with here we go. I found it.

317
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: This is this is bear. Okay, Yeah, that's all I got.

318
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go out like a bear. I think

319
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: it goes out like a lamb. I think there's a

320
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: chance the SEC could return to being the best conference

321
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, nice and comfortable. I think there's a

322
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: chance could happen. And again, there are going to be

323
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: plenty of teams in the Big Ten that I think

324
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: take a step back. Michigan loses a lot. They've recruited well,

325
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: but they lose a lot. Penn State, despite the fact

326
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: that they had an incredible renaissance a year ago. I

327
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: think there's a chance that they could take a step back.

328
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm just not certain they continue on the same path

329
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: that we saw last year. And in the ACC obviously,

330
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: Clemson loses Deshaun Watson, Louisville loses some contributors on both

331
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: sides of the football. Florida State I think should still

332
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: be pretty rock soylid, but I don't know if the

333
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,239
Speaker 1: Hives are quite as high in the ACC as they

334
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: were last season. So I think there's a chance there's

335
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: an opening there for the SEC. There actually is an

336
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: opening there for the Pac twelve as well, which I'm

337
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: sure we'll get into at some point here. But I

338
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: think the SEC is in really good position to regain

339
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: that superiority. So I think in like a line out,

340
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 1: like a la, I'm just like the expression says, all right,

341
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: I'm aac all day, all right? Moving on, Yes, football

342
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: in the great state of Tejas, Dan, Yes, football in

343
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 1: the state of Texas undeniably comes in like a lion.

344
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: There is uncertainty. TCU went what six and seven, Yeah,

345
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: it wasn't great. A year ago, Texas went five and

346
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: seven and fired their coach, hired Tom Herman but fired

347
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 1: their coach. Texas A and M went eight and five

348
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: on the year for the third consecutive season. And that's

349
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: not even counting Cliff Kingsbury at Texas Tech going five

350
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: and seven, Cliffs still not fixing his defense, And what's

351
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: going on at Baylor, which is a mess for reasons

352
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: beyond just football. New coach, new coach, new coach. But

353
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: five teams, five big teams right there that I've listed

354
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: that I think would undeniably put them in a place

355
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: of relative uncertainty as we head into twenty seventeen dance.

356
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: So football in the Great State of Texas coming in

357
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: like a lion going out like, well, first of all,

358
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: you're disrespecting UTSA and the Roadrunners. I'm sorry.

359
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 2: A nice year. I would add a nice year five

360
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 2: and three in conference six and seven overall, but considering

361
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 2: where they've come from, Yeah, a nice It's a bull team.

362
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: Tie. You watch yourself. I'm going to say, in like

363
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: a lion, out like a bull, like a bull, like

364
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: a bull. Tie. Is that a real That is a

365
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: real bull sound? Where did you find that? I cannot

366
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: tell you, Tye. I went out into nature and secretly

367
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: recorded that is a real bull sound because in like

368
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: a bull. It's partially because the longhorn thing. Yes, longhorns

369
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: are bulls, but also because TCU second in the nation

370
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: in returning production, Texas sixth to the nation in returning production.

371
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: We're talking about both sides of the ball. UTSA eighteenth tie.

372
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: I do my homework Baylor ninety third, so gonna take

373
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: some time, going to take some time in Waco. But

374
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: the TCU in Texas thing, to me is interesting because

375
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: of the experience, because of the quarterback experience. I NOWTCU

376
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: is sort of up in the air, but I have

377
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: a certain degree of trust with TCU that they just

378
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: don't have that many lower years in a row. Now

379
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 1: with how good Gary Patterson has done building a staff

380
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: and dealing with attrition, Texas wise, Charlie Strong clearly didn't

381
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: work out. Tom Herman very good in terms of getting

382
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: buy in overhauling. I think Texas is going to play

383
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: a lot closer to its potential in twenty seventeen. Texas

384
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: is not back, but in terms of improvement, Clay Helton

385
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: add how many months at USC to cross the fifty

386
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: multiple times against Ali Obama to so as good as

387
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: Clay Helton turn did turning around USC last year, Tom

388
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: Herman does have an advantage early in getting this Texas

389
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: team ready early on in the season getting by in

390
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: overhauling culture. I am bullish, so I'm going to say

391
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: they're out like a bull. TCU. That's a very convincing

392
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: bull Dan, Thank you, TCU. At twenty seventeen, you mentioned

393
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: about the returning production. They're actually the top Power five

394
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: team in that metric according to what Bill c has

395
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: to have. Number two FBS. Yeah, number two FBS, number

396
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: one Power five and they're mostly young. They've got some

397
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: turnover up front on defense, but they do bring a

398
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: lot back, which is why they are so high in

399
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: these rankings. It wouldn't be inconceivable for them to take

400
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: a step forward. You mentioned Texas, they're going to get

401
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: better on offense, they're going to get better on defense.

402
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: Obviously Tom Herman comes over, but he's sort of just

403
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: the head liner. Todd Orlando came over too, and he

404
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: did great work at Houston, so I think there's some

405
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: promise there. On the other hand, I could see A

406
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: and M taking a step back because they lose a

407
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: lot in both sides of football. The quarterback situations still

408
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: kind of up in the air. Texas Tech is losing

409
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and I think that's going to be a

410
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: backbreaker for them. And then Baylor, I don't really have

411
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: an opinion on. There's so much going on on the

412
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: Baylor side that it's hard to really look at it

413
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: from a pure football standpoint, I say pitbull, but not

414
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: the good kind. Not the good kind. I'm saying pitbull.

415
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: Still ferocious, still very unpredictable and uncertain, but easier to

416
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: train and mostly friendlier than a lie. Oh we should

417
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: also mentioned TCU lost foster, Sawyer sailor spy. That's right. Yeah, yeah,

418
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: that's tough. So I say a real pit bull. That

419
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 1: was another authentic pit bull.

420
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 2: Listen, Ty, we both went with real pitbulls in our

421
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 2: own way.

422
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,560

423

Speaker 1: with orzo and broccoli. Ooh ooh, yeah, I'm listening. Or

439
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: some pork chops and misa butter with bockchoi and marinated apple.

Speaker 1: Oh my god, there's umami written all over that. Or

441
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: a little vegetable chili and baked sweet potatoes with crispy

442
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: tortilla strips. Or last but not least, spicy shrimp coconut

443
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 1: curry with cabbage and rice. Does that sound good? Or

444
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: what that sound?

455
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of chapulinas? No?

456
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 2: Neither had I until relatively recently. The name of the

457
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 2: food grasshopper?

460
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 2: I had it both in Mexico and in Houston. It's

461
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 2: pretty good grass Go out of my way for it.

462
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 2: It's pretty good. It's a sustainable protein, A little smoky.

463
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 2: How do you cook How do you cook a grasshopper?

464
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 2: I think you sort of cut them up, and then

465
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 2: you toss it like in a saute pan, with like

466
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 2: some garlic and oil some kind. I wouldn't eat it straight,

467
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 2: but I would throw it in a tortilla.

468
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: Some guak and some salsa. It's pretty good. What is

469
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: the most adventurous thing you've ever eaten? Ah? I guess human,

470
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: I guess the flesh of my fellow man. No, it

471
00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 1: might be the grasshopper. I don't think jowl is too adventurous.

472
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: If your had pork jowl, no, I mean it's face,

473
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: no pork face. It just tastes sort of like bacon.

474
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: All right, I'm not even gonna answer this on even.

475
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 2: When I will say this though, when I was in

476
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 2: Mexico a few weeks ago, we were at a carnitask place,

477
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 2: and carnitas you and I know to be just sort

478
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 2: of like shredded pork shoulder, but it really in Mexico

479
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 2: is any part of the pig that is fried in

480
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 2: lard okay?

481
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: And you can sort of choose.

482
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 2: You can say, oh, I want rib meat or I

483
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 2: want shoulder meat, whatever, if you go to like a

484
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 2: place that specializes in carnitas. I went on a guided

485
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 2: tour and the guide was like, how adventurous do you

486
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 2: want to be because they are literally frying up every

487
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 2: piece of flesh on a pig. And I went with, like,

488
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 2: low ish, and I'm generally kind of adventurous. But people

489
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 2: that went with, yes, I want to be definitively adventurous.

490
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 2: Do you have a guess as for which part of

491
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 2: the pig they ate in a taco fried and like

492
00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 2: shredded and cut up?

493
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: USh? I probably don't. What would you consider to be

494
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: adventurous the nether regions, let's say you're you're not wrong.

495
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: It was Uterus. Oh, it was pig Uterus, fried pig Uterus,

496
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: and everybody seemed to like it. Good, good for them. Yeah,

497
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: So what we're saying is not available on Blue Apron

498
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: No yet yet. Yeah yet. We'll keep your eyes peeled

499
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: all right, Uh, coming in like a lion giving me

500
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: the willies here, Yeah, Josh Rosen's draft stock, Dan Oh,

501
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,719
Speaker 1: I like this. So look, this was one of our

502
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: fantasy things that we discussed a couple times and all

503
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: throughout the twenty sixteen season. A lot of hype around Rosen,

504
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: a lot of steam on him after twenty fifteen because

505
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: he had a great freshman campaign right twenty sixteen quick,

506
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: it might be overstating it. I'd say very impressive. It

507
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: was impressive. He showed a ton of promise right, Yes,

508
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen kicked a little dirt on that fire because

509
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: he only played half a season he got hurt. Even

510
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: before he got hurt, there wasn't a big boost in

511
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: his productivity, virtually identical to what he did in the

512
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: same span of time in twenty fifteen. So we're now

513
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: at a weird spot where he's got a ton of talent.

514
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: No one's forgotten about Josh Rosen, But the draft stock,

515
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: you could argue, has never quite been this low, and

516
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: now twenty seventeen, uncertainty. What's the offense going to look like?

517
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: I think it's coming in like a lion here. Okay, yeah,

518
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: it is a low point at the moment. Un So, yeah,

519
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: we don't know what the offenses look like. New coordinator

520
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: and jetfish. Yeah, I think that's reasonable. How do you

521
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: feel about where the offense is headed and where he heads.

522
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 2: Not particularly good? What is UCLA offensively in terms of

523
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 2: returning production? Let's take a look real quick, just to

524
00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 2: give us a baseline idea. So they're ninety ninth, forty

525
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 2: ninth on offense, ninety ninth overall. So I'm worried that defensively,

526
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 2: even though they've recruited very well, I think they're gonna

527
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 2: take a step back to chars. McKinley was wonderful rushing

528
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 2: the quarterback. UCLA still I feel like hasn't developed past

529
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 2: catching weapons, and they were so atrocious on the ground

530
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 2: last year that even if they improved, they'll probably just

531
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 2: improve to about average and that doesn't necessarily help a

532
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 2: quarterback a ton. So I'm gonna go with a repeat here.

533
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 2: And I'm going to say UCLA and Josh Rosen in

534
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 2: like a lion, and because I think he's probably going

535
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 2: to end up on a bad NFL team or you know,

536
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 2: a bad NFL team's quarterback decisions in out like a

537
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 2: bull tie.

538
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: I love that sound. We need to start using that more. Dan.

539
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: As Josh Rosen heads to Houston, Yeah, that wasn't okay team,

540
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: I think that wouldn't be the worst place to go. No,

541
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: it wouldn't. But that's that's what I'm feeling. I feel

542
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: like he'll have a bounce. You're to the point where

543
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: people will talk themselves out of his potential problems with

544
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: UCLA in twenty seventeen. Yeah, I think he provided he

545
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: doesn't get hurt, and provided he has an okay season.

546
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: I think I really hope he does. Yeah, as do.

547
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: I think he'll enter the NFL draft early. That's not

548
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: a stretch to say. I think his draft stock will

549
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: be a lot less uncertain than it is now. I

550
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: think he'll be fun to watch. I think he'll be

551
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,239
Speaker 1: fun to envision in an NFL uniform, just maybe not

552
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: a fully crystallized matured beast, which is why I'm going

553
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: to say a Felabella miniature horse. You ever see a

554
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: miniature horse show?

555
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 2: That's what I've heard of. What is it's Shetlands, I've

556
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 2: heard of Felabella. That's a great word.

557
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: Felabella miniature horse. Yeah, that what was like on Robin Big.

558
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what was on Big, but it is

559
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: a miniature horse. And I believe it's from Argentina. And

560
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: I saw a horse show once. So they trained them,

561
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: they ran in a circle. It was a lot of fun.

562
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: Would you rather have in twenty seventeen playing for an

563
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: above average college football a generic above average college football team?

564
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: Would you rather have a healthy Josh Rosen or a

565
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: healthy Deshaun Kaiser? Wow? I think I'd want Josh Rosen.

566
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: Why I watched every throw because we're doing an.

567
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 2: NFL draft show. We'll do we'll talk about the NFL

568
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 2: Draft like the week before it happens. I really enjoyed

569
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 2: our show with Peter Schreger last year. But I watched

570
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 2: every single throw of the Shawn Kaiser's in twenty sixteen,

571
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 2: and I don't do not hold him accountable for everything

572
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 2: because that offense was a mess. Deshaun Kaiser made one

573
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 2: read and launched it in as hard as he possibly could.

574
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 2: I think I would go with Josh Rosen at this point.

575
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 2: I think Deshaun Kaiser's more mature. I think he's a

576
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 2: better athlete, he's a better runner, he's more solid physically.

577
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 2: But I came away kind of disappointed with where Deshaun

578
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 2: Kaiser was, and I still feel like if Deshaun Kaiser

579
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 2: is going to be talked about as a top five

580
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 2: NFL draft pick after his twenty sixteen that a healthy

581
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 2: Josh Rosen has a higher ceiling at this point.

582
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: I'll take the opposite side of the argument, and I'll

583
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: just say because Kaiser can do more as a college

584
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: football quarterback. He may not be as gifted a passer

585
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:34,239
Speaker 1: when it comes to making reads right, but he can

586
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: do more with his legs, and that gives you an

587
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: added dimension. I think Rosen's probably going to end up

588
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: being a much better passer. I think he's already borderline

589
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: shown that when he's been healthy. But Kaiser does give

590
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: you the legs. And it was sort of an unintended

591
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: advantage that Notre Dames stumbled into the first year that

592
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: he played quarterback. Right, They didn't really plan on running

593
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,959
Speaker 1: him because they were already down a guy, right, they

594
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: didn't want to get somebody else hurt. Five fifteen was

595
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: considerably better, exactly. He ended up being very good at

596
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: running the football, and in many cases this past season

597
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 1: they needed him, they needed to ruin the football. He's

598
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: actually got better wheels than a lot of people think

599
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: he's a big guy. So from that standpoint, that standpoint alone,

600
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: I think he gives you a new dimension. I'll go

601
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: I'll go Kaiser over Rosen, just based on what we

602
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: saw year ago. I will say with Rosen there's a

603
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: lot more throwing arrogance that Kaiser doesn't have in a

604
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 1: bad way.

605
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 2: Right That Kaiser doesn't scan the field, he doesn't throw

606
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 2: guys open as much. But he is very seldom to

607
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 2: be confident or overly confident in his ability to make

608
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 2: a play fair, which is agh, which is a good quality. Yeah,

609
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 2: all right, coming in like a lion. This team went

610
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 2: one in eight in the Big Ten.

611
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: Yeah they did. They went three and nine over all,

612
00:34:55,920 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: DAN one hundred and third one zero three in the

613
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: nation in points per game. It was clearly a significant

614
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: step back on offense as well as defense. Michigan State.

615
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: Michigan State was a team that a lot of people

616
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: were high on going into twenty sixteen. Clearly that did

617
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: not work out. Now they're in a position where they

618
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 1: had a really bad year. They enter a rejuvenated Big

619
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: ten East. Despite the fact that there may be a

620
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: few teams on that side of the conference taking a

621
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: step back, it still feels like a decidedly more competitive

622
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: division than it was the last time. Michigan State was

623
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: potentially consequential. So I ask you, mister Rubinstein, three to nine,

624
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: Michigan State in like a lion out like a I'm

625
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: gonna go vulture here, ty a vulture, a vulture. Wow,

626
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna cover myself when I'm gonna hedge

627
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: because either Michigan State becomes a team and by the way,

628
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: returning production wise, one hundred and twenty four. Yeah, not great, Bob,

629
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: not great Bob, But Michigan is one hundred and twenty

630
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,879
Speaker 1: seventh across the state. Ohio State seventy second, Penn State

631
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: twenty seventh, So that's a little bit scary, But schedule wise,

632
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: it's I would argue, somewhat advantageous. They have Michigan on

633
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 1: the road, but they get Maryland and Rutger's Cross Division

634
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: and Indiana with a new coach. They get him at home.

635
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: Ryan Field's not the most difficult place to play against

636
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: Northwestern Minnesota on the road, but it's a new coach

637
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: feeling things out. Notre Dame.

638
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 2: They get in Spartan Stadium, Iowa. They get in Spartan

639
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 2: Stadium and early on Western with a new coach, a

640
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 2: disappointing bowling green, so they could pick apart the carcasses

641
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 2: of disappointing teams, and by the end of the year

642
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 2: we can say, all right, that's what they did. They

643
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:45,439
Speaker 2: weren't great.

644
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: They weren't a falcon, they weren't an eagle, they weren't

645
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:52,720
Speaker 1: a hawk, but they they ate. You know, they'll they'll

646
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: get back to a bowl game, or they themselves are

647
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 1: the carcass. And Michigan at Michigan Stadium, Ohio State at

648
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: Ohio State, Penn State returning a ton including two Heisman

649
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: Trophy contenders on offense, at least two Heisman Trophy contenders

650
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: will pick them apart, not unlike a vulture strategy. All right,

651
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: so what you're saying is maybe not a return to

652
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: ten and two yes, I think I like four yes,

653
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: I think it's entirely possible. Michigan State has always been

654
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: a program that has had to rely on identifying diamonds

655
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: in the rough for developmental guys and developing them, you know,

656
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: seeing qualities, finding fits for Michigan State in the way

657
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:45,760
Speaker 1: that their culture operates, but without a ton of players

658
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: coming back to sort of influence winning culture, and it's tough.

659
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 1: It's just it's a more it's a tougher ask in

660
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: the way that that division has come forward with three

661
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: very very strong teams. Agreed. Yeah, I think we're on

662
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: a similar train of thought here. Dan. I'm not gonna

663
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: say Vulture, I don't think it's quite as big of

664
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: a lion, but I'm must say they go out like

665
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: a house cat, maybe entering twenty eighteen with their own

666
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: share of questions, maybe not quite as uncertain as they

667
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: are now entering twenty seventeen. But I just kind of

668
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: feel like Gate and four is going to be the ceiling.

669
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 2: May I ask you a follow up question, So the

670
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen Michigan State team, Vulture wise, so a down

671
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 2: Oregon team, not a bad Oregon team in twenty fifteen,

672
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,800
Speaker 2: but Vernon Adams, you know, they picked him apart because

673
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 2: he was injured. Ohio State, you could argue offensive coordinating

674
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 2: was a bit of a carcass in that game, not

675
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 2: giving the ball to Zeke Elliott. Penn State was certainly

676
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 2: down that year. That was the sort of I would argue,

677
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 2: the basement of the running the old spread system that

678
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 2: James Franklin brought in. They got killed in that game, right, correct, Yeah,

679
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 2: that was like a fifty to sixteen kind of game.

680
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 2: And Michigan clearly at the beginning of the Harbaugh era,

681
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 2: and that was, you know, the carcass of special teams

682
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 2: play and Brady Hoke before that. So I'm not going

683
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 2: to disrespect Michigan State and fully attribute their success to

684
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,479
Speaker 2: them picking apart carcasses and not necessarily being the ones

685
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 2: to kill them.

686
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: But there might be an element. Okay, fair enough, I agree, Okay,

687
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: And finally, finally, in like a lion, I need to

688
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 1: harkenhim back to this for a second because I remember

689
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: it very vividly. Last year. I took copious notes we

690
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: both did on our twenty sixteen college football five part

691
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: preview that we put together, and I remember as part

692
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: of that preview, I went through our friend Phil Steele's

693
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: season preview, as I do every year, and in that preview,

694
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: he assumed that John Franklin the Third was going to

695
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: be Auburn's answer at quarterback. Alas that was not the

696
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: case he saw some time, but he certainly wasn't the

697
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: prolonged answer at quarterback for Auburn. Seawan White got the

698
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: majority of the steps, and at times he was effective.

699
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: I gave him and Gus Malson a lot of crap

700
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: for it, not that they care or even new, but

701
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 1: I just thought starting Seawan White was lopping off an

702
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: entire leg of your offense because he just didn't give

703
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 1: you much more beyond like a game manager role. So

704
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: I was disappointed. We didn't see any of that creativity

705
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 1: that we've come to know and love from Gus Malson.

706
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,479
Speaker 1: Now they enter twenty seventeen, Seawan White is still there,

707
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: John Franklin the Third is still there, but they've also

708
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: got Woody Barrett. They've got a sophomore named Tyler Queen,

709
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: a freshman named Malik Willis, and of course the Baylor

710
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: transfer Jared Stidham. Gus Melzon has options, but which one

711
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: will he pick? Auburn's quarterback coming in like a lion

712
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: and going out like a I'm gonna say, goat, oh

713
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:07,240
Speaker 1: and not and not theg dot O dot a dot

714
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 1: t goat. But I'm kind of scared specifically for Jarrett Stidham,

715
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: because I don't know that that is the the most

716
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: perfect fit. To me, he feels like a quarterback who

717
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 1: can run, a thrower who can run, and I know

718
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 1: Cam Newton sort of developed into that in his one

719
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: transfer year. But I also am under the impression from

720
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: watching Auburn these past few years under gusmels On that

721
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: they are looking for somebody at quarterback who can shoulder

722
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: a good amount of the rushing load. Nick Marshall was

723
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: able to successfully Sean White and a couple other quarterbacks

724
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 1: less so, and I don't know that that generally fits

725
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: what Gusmelson is able to do. So I'm I'm scared

726
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: much in the way that screaming goats appears to be scared.

727
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: Ty Well, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna play the

728
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: goats sound. Did you know that I was gonna go

729
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: goat with this one? No? I did not. I have

730
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: a baby goat right here. I swear to you, on

731
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,879
Speaker 1: all things holy Simbadio that I am going to go

732
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: goat here, and that I had planned on going goat here.

733
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 1: I think regardless of who ends up with this job,

734
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,919
Speaker 1: I've lost some confidence in gusmel Zon's ability to put

735
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 1: together like a well balanced offense, something that incorporates both

736
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: the run and the pass. We saw it a couple

737
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,399
Speaker 1: of years ago with Nick Marshall. Right, but it's been

738
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: a while. I feel like it's been too long. Had

739
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 1: really good pass catching options. Sammy Coates was great, Carda Lewis. Yeah,

740
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 1: so I'm thinking that it's a goat, but the kind

741
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: of goat that has a fatal flaw. Oh, you know,

742
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: like one of those fainting goats, one of those goats

743
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: that when they get all worked up, they just faint. Yeah,

744
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 1: so I get some sort of critter with a fatal flaw.

745
00:42:55,200 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 1: We're on the exact same page here With that being said, Dan, Yeah,

Speaker 1: Not that I disliked the Postal Service. They do great work.

762
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of my local post office, but it

763
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: just would have been way more convenient and certainly easier

764
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: if I could have done it all the labeling, from

765

00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 1: said before, Ty, hilden Brandt is the ultimate afrodisiac. We

801

804
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:44,080

806
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 2: We have not booked anything. That is the plan.

807
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: The plan is at some point in August, we're going

808
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,439
Speaker 1: to get together a larger gathering and you will see

809
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: information on this in the coming days and weeks and months.

810
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,879
Speaker 1: We'll put together mailing list. It will be limited availability

811
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: as the first time, though maybe not quite as limited

812
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,439
Speaker 1: and will be bigger. Yeah. The plan is to put

813
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 1: together a really fun season preview show and instead of

814
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,399
Speaker 1: boring people we're gonna we're gonna have our Fantasy Things

815
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: draft for the twenty seventeen season, live in Living Color.

816
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,839
Speaker 1: So all I'm gonna say is, if you're a single gal,

817
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: if you're a single fella, we will probably be doing

818
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 1: this place that has food, that has drinks, and I

819
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 1: would say it's safe to say it's going to be

820
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: a bit of a singles mixer. Tie do is that

821
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:37,839
Speaker 1: a word?

822
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 2: I don't even know if that's a word anymore, But

823
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 2: you know what I can say now with authority. We

824
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 2: have a very attractive audience.
