<v Speaker 1>and Thy Welcome back to the solid verbal, Boys and girls.

0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>My name is Ty Hildebrand. I am over here in

0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 1>beautiful Allentown, Pennsylvania. Joining me over there in beautiful New

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:30.400
<v Speaker 1>York City a fine gentleman, my colleague, co host of

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:33.919
<v Speaker 1>many years. You know him as Dan Rubinstein. Sir, how

0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>are you? I am jacked up? Tie, Yeah, I am

0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:38.159
<v Speaker 1>jacked up.

0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 2>And I actually just filled out a new passport application

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.280
<v Speaker 2>and it does ask if you are known by any

0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:45.840
<v Speaker 2>other names. So that just sort of triggered me when

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:48.400
<v Speaker 2>you said he is known by I don't think I

0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:49.120
<v Speaker 2>have any other name.

0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 1>You don't have any any nefarious aliases? No, I hope

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>that I never do. But I'm great, Ty. Life is good.

0:00:57.080 --> 0:01:00.080
<v Speaker 2>The Espianation College football crew is in town for a

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 2>couple of planning meetings, so it's always good to see

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:05.399
<v Speaker 2>the faces that are you know, always over Slack or

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.480
<v Speaker 2>email or Skype. So it's you know, Bill C and

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Stephen Godfree. I'm very excited to meet I've never met

0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Morgan Moriarty, who's new to the team. So all sorts

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:16.759
<v Speaker 2>of fun things are happening, which means I think we'll

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 2>be eating a lot of food in the Yeah, forty

0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:20.240
<v Speaker 2>eight to seventy two hours, which is great.

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:25.040
<v Speaker 1>How much time would you say, collectively, you as a

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:29.440
<v Speaker 1>as a singular entity in the foody world, have put

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.759
<v Speaker 1>into what kind of eating arrangements there will be during

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>said meetings.

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 2>So we planned tomorrow Night's like nicer meal a couple

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:40.920
<v Speaker 2>of weeks ago. Myself and Ryan plan that. But I

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:42.640
<v Speaker 2>don't know what I'm having for dinner tonight. We don't

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 2>know we're having for lunch tomorrow. It's tough because there's

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna be like seventeen or eighteen of us total, so

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 2>with video crew and everything like that. But generally, I

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 2>just in my own head, I'll give it a considerable

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.640
<v Speaker 2>amount of thought. Yeah, I figured out, Okay, I want

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 2>everybody to get a real New York experience.

0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Ty, did I take you to Los Tacos Number one

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>in Los Marie's. Yeah, you took care, So I give

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>you the taco Bang Bang you gave me the taco

<v Speaker 1>taco fan. Okay, good, I'm glad you've come so far

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>since two thousand and eight. I have, I really have

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay iTunes dot com slash Solid Verbal. Oh yeah, if

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 1>you like the show, we'll be here all off season.

0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed the hell out of the show we did

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.959
<v Speaker 1>a week ago. It was a fun one. Right, this

0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 1>is it. Go back and listen to it if you

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't yet, or even if you just want to hear

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:31.360
<v Speaker 1>the sound clips again. That was your idea for a

0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.360
<v Speaker 1>little off season game that we can play. And of course,

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:38.919
<v Speaker 1>now this show is dropping on March first, and whoa

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.720
<v Speaker 1>coming in? Hot? Okay? Have you ever heard of the

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 1>common expression that March comes in like a lion and

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.639
<v Speaker 1>goes out like a lamb? Ty?

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Because I am not an aunt in Kenosha, Wisconsin, I

0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 2>have not. You have not heard I when you asked

0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:58.920
<v Speaker 2>me about this and we're telling me about Tridia, I

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 2>had never heard of that expression.

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 1>See, Southern California has spoiled you, my friend, in like

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.840
<v Speaker 1>a lion and out like a lamb? Has has the

0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Solid Fiance heard of this expression?

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 2>I actually didn't ask her. I imagine she has. I mean,

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 2>there's no weather in southern California that would come in

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 2>like a lion, So everything's cool in March.

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 1>In like a lion, out like a lamp. So it's

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm guessing something most people listening to this show have

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 1>heard of. But if not, allow me to explain the

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.440
<v Speaker 1>month of March for those of us who don't live

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 1>in southern California. Typically we'll start off in cold, unpleasant

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:39.720
<v Speaker 1>some would say ferocious fashion weatherwise, but then as the

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>expression goes, it ends in a mild and pleasant and

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:46.080
<v Speaker 1>peaceful manner, just like a lamb, right in like a lion,

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 1>out like a lamp. In the college football world, mister Rubinstein,

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 1>there are a number of players and coaches, teams, all

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 1>sorts of things that enter twenty seventeen, and what I

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 1>would say is a rather un certain and tumultuous state. Sure,

0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 1>all right, it makes sense, and so this game today

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 1>in like a lion. It is gonna be incumbent on

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 1>you and I to determine whether these things go out

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 1>like a lion, or go out like a lamb, or

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 1>go out like any other creature in the animal Kingdom.

0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:21.640
<v Speaker 1>We're not just gonna limit it to a lamb or

0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 1>lion or anything, but all of them to some degree,

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.920
<v Speaker 1>are entering twenty seventeen in the season, in the off season,

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:32.200
<v Speaker 1>and the long doldrums of summer, like a lion licking

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 1>some wounds. That's right. So I've got a bunch of

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 1>stuff before me, which I was hoping to discuss. Really,

0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.000
<v Speaker 1>we're just trying to trying to look a little bit

0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:44.160
<v Speaker 1>into the crystal ball, Gonna have some fun with animal sounds,

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, all the usual stuff. Love it. We're gonna

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:48.920
<v Speaker 1>jump right in here. If you're ready. I'm ready, Ty,

0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Let's start coming in like a lion. Man, that's ferocious.

0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>It is coming in like a lion. Is Butch Jones. Yeah,

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:06.839
<v Speaker 1>Currently the head football coach at Tennessee. He has recruited

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 1>the hell out of Tennessee football, done a really good

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.800
<v Speaker 1>job bringing in talent and last year Dan you could

0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 1>definitely make a case that he had the most talented

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 1>team in the SEC East. Fought some injuries, had some

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 1>close wins, some bad losses, but by a large had

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 1>a very talented team. The Tennessee hype train was running hot,

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.960
<v Speaker 1>real hot at the start of the show at the

0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:36.279
<v Speaker 1>start of the year. Clearly that did not work out.

0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Did not work out, No, And I would say no.

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 1>So it was a tumultuous finish to Tennessee season. And

0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 1>now I think it's rather uncertain for him. Butch Jones

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.960
<v Speaker 1>as he now enters twenty seventeen, Dan, Butch Jones enters

0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:55.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventeen as a lion, he will go out as

0:05:56.040 --> 0:06:01.360
<v Speaker 1>a do you want me to answer? Please? Please? Okay,

0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 1>just making sure.

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 2>So Tennessee and Butch Jones something that the Internet loves

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 2>talking about and enjoying, you know, not always because they're good,

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.960
<v Speaker 2>but just they just appealed to the Internet. And I

0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 2>would say that their progress has been slow moving, fair

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:21.280
<v Speaker 2>to say, yeah, so what I'm feeling right now more

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.760
<v Speaker 2>of the same. We're gonna like gawking, but we're not

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 2>going to see a ton of motion, a ton of

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:29.360
<v Speaker 2>movement as they try to ascend to the college football glitterati.

0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 2>So I'm going to say in like a lion, out

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 2>like and I had never heard this animal speak, and

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.480
<v Speaker 2>the sounds of this animal before, out like a sloth.

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:45.320
<v Speaker 1>A sloth, I need to play that again, A sweat

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:53.160
<v Speaker 1>a All right, So what what's sort of the sound

0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.599
<v Speaker 1>that Butch Jones makes every single time a Tennessee player

0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:59.360
<v Speaker 1>gets hurt. I was thinking that, So, what what qualities

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 1>of the slow are you applying here to your logic?

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.039
<v Speaker 1>Internet loves sloths? Right, Yeah, that's true.

0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.960
<v Speaker 2>The Internet does love a good sloth, sloth, very slow moving.

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 2>I explained this at the top tie. I just don't

0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 2>believe Tennessee the progress has been glacial. They're fine, I'm not.

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 2>I just think they're gonna be out like a sloth.

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 2>I haven't seen more of the same. They have to

0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:27.480
<v Speaker 2>replace a good amount they are. And to honor our

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.560
<v Speaker 2>good friend Bill C, the immortal, the number one everything

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:34.600
<v Speaker 2>in college football, I believe, and I have this in

0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 2>front of me, Tennessee is one hundred and ninth in

0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 2>the country in returning production in twenty seventeen.

0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so I sort of feel.

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, fifty one percent of their production is coming back,

0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:49.440
<v Speaker 2>which is good for one hundred and ninth in the

0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:50.480
<v Speaker 2>country out of all if.

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:52.960
<v Speaker 1>That's usually indicative of a step back. And I'm glad

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:56.560
<v Speaker 1>you brought up the total production returning stats that Bill

0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 1>C has put out there, because I've I'm going to

0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 1>reference that here in a little bit of well simbodycoat.

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 1>So you're saying a sloth, do you do? Thank you?

0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that Butch Jones is going to be

0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 1>employed at Tennessee in twenty eighteen? No? I agree? Do not? Yeah?

0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 1>I agree, And I'm not going to go the sloth route, Okay.

0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 1>I am instead going to go with another big presence

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:29.440
<v Speaker 1>in the animal kingdom sort of slobbery, certainly bark being

0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 1>worse than his bite. I am told that that is

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:38.160
<v Speaker 1>the authentic barking sound of a Saint Bernard. Okay. St

0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Bernard's are very helpful. Though they're helpful, they're nice. He's

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 1>never gonna like attack the intruder, you know, He's just

0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna be there and hope maybe that the intruder gets

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 1>scared away because he's such a big dog.

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:50.920
<v Speaker 2>I thought you were going to say, because Butch Jones

0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:56.959
<v Speaker 2>looks like he could be the number three villain in Beethoven. Okay,

0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.920
<v Speaker 2>that Saint Bernard makes a lot of sense.

0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 1>But okay, you can have yours too, going Saint Bernard.

0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:09.040
<v Speaker 1>All right? Up next, let's stay on the coaching side. Please,

0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.600
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about a gentleman who went seven and five

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 1>last season, Dan, h we might be wondering, well, how

0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.680
<v Speaker 1>did he do in twenty fifteen. It's funny you should

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>ask you went seven and five regular season in twenty fifteen.

0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:25.360
<v Speaker 1>You might say, all right, well two in a row

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.000
<v Speaker 1>is what's that? How do you do in twenty fourteen

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.080
<v Speaker 1>went six and six Water Bowl game over Texas went

0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:35.840
<v Speaker 1>seven and six overall. I'm talking about Brett Beilama, Bert

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Beilima Bert at Arkansas, Dan, are you not going to

0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:42.679
<v Speaker 1>play the sound I have this? I have to pull

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 1>it up here. I have a whole animal soundboard that

0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I've compiled here. So we'll get to the Bert sound

0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.160
<v Speaker 1>here when you least expect it. But I think it's

0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:54.439
<v Speaker 1>fair to say that Brett Beelama now enters twenty seventeen

0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 1>like a bit of a line maybe not like Moufasa,

0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:01.880
<v Speaker 1>but certainly as a himba, you know, a lining cub there.

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:06.840
<v Speaker 1>There's definitely some uncertainty and some tumultuousness in the situation

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 1>that he currently finds himself Dan. So sure, for the

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.880
<v Speaker 1>purposes of our little game here, Brett Bieleman enters like

0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:19.000
<v Speaker 1>a lion, he goes out like a So my line

0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:22.520
<v Speaker 1>of thinking is I'm going with pitbull here, pitbull. So

0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm going with a ferocious pit bull, but not the

0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:32.040
<v Speaker 1>one you're thinking of. Ty, You're not going Daley here, right, Okay, No,

0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 1>I am going so you are going Dollay. I think

0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:40.320
<v Speaker 1>no matter what happens in twenty seventeen with Arkansas, Ret

0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Bilma's still gonna have a good time. I think he's

0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:48.160
<v Speaker 1>literally going out like a like the literal person pitbull.

0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Not Yeah, there's something consistent about Brett Bielima, you know,

0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.680
<v Speaker 2>in what he wants out of offense and what his

0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 2>team sort of seems to finish the season as like

0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.040
<v Speaker 2>they seem to end with promise, even though this year

0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:08.320
<v Speaker 2>the Bowl game probably less so. But I think there's

0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:11.440
<v Speaker 2>there's going to be that consistent energy from Bett Brett Beilama,

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:15.280
<v Speaker 2>even if he's fired after this year, I still think.

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:23.480
<v Speaker 1>He's going out like fitball. All right, Well I have

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:30.840
<v Speaker 1>the sound, Oh there it is there you go, just

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.320
<v Speaker 1>for you, thank you. What is he going out with?

0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:38.200
<v Speaker 1>In your way? I'm saying a cheetah. Really, I'm saying

0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:41.440
<v Speaker 1>a cheetah because if he's already a lion, a cheatah

0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:45.319
<v Speaker 1>is the same basic cat mm hmm. But a lot

0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.960
<v Speaker 1>better at running okay, and that's really the main difference.

0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Arkansas struggled to run the football consistently a year ago,

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.000
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not going to point to that as the

0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 1>sole reason why they didn't perform better than seventy five

0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.559
<v Speaker 1>regular seasons seven and six if you count the Bowl

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.280
<v Speaker 1>loss to Virginia Tech. But it was one of the

0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:06.920
<v Speaker 1>elements that I think a lot of people looked at

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:08.640
<v Speaker 1>and said, Wow, this is this is not something we're

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.160
<v Speaker 1>accustomed to seeing. We like Rolly Williams, Rowley Williams is

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna be really good. But they just didn't get the

0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 1>production in the line up front. They did in some games,

0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 1>they didn't in others. It was just a really inconsistent

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 1>offensive effort, especially when it comes to running the football.

0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:26.000
<v Speaker 1>So I think they will improve that in twenty seventeen.

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.280
<v Speaker 1>The problem is that the SEC is always really good.

0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:31.680
<v Speaker 2>We could also reference the linebackers in the open field

0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:35.880
<v Speaker 2>chasing after speedier players on other SEC teams or other

0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 2>teams in general, and just to hit that sloth sound again, TI,

0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:40.960
<v Speaker 2>we could go sloths sound.

0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.000
<v Speaker 1>We could go sloth again, and I don't think you'd

0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:48.200
<v Speaker 1>be wrong about that, But I'm feeling pretty much the

0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:52.880
<v Speaker 1>same trajectory for Brett Bielma in twenty seventeen is twenty sixteen,

0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 1>but maybe some improvement running the football, which is why

0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I say cheetah. Okay. Also, did you know that a

0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:02.440
<v Speaker 1>cheetah when it's not or growling, makes like a really

0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.320
<v Speaker 1>high pitched meowing sound. Do you have the sound? I

0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:06.880
<v Speaker 1>don't have the sound, but I was listening to it

0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:13.040
<v Speaker 1>on YouTube. Yeah, damn it really high pitched. Okay, Uh,

0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:14.560
<v Speaker 1>where do you want to be? Watch? Have you watched

0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:17.400
<v Speaker 1>any of the Planet Earth too yet? All I've seen

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:21.960
<v Speaker 1>so far is that clip of the iguana versus the snakes. Oh,

0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:25.199
<v Speaker 1>the little lizard, not iguana, but yeah, the tiny little lizard. Yeah.

0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh incredible. I have the best sports highlight of the year.

0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:30.880
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen anything else so far, but neither of

0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:31.760
<v Speaker 1>them forward to it.

0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:36.560
<v Speaker 2>I am so excited. Have we let's see isn't really

0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:38.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's smoky, but that's you know, the volunteer

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.280
<v Speaker 2>is not an animal. Uh, we've got the razorback. I

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 2>love I love good nature documentaries and wild boar razorback

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:49.200
<v Speaker 2>kind of thing. Suey Oh, yeah, I would absolutely watch that.

0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:51.360
<v Speaker 1>So you're a big fan of the animal Kingdom, and

0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.400
<v Speaker 1>I didn't. I didn't used to be a fan of animals.

0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:59.079
<v Speaker 1>What how do you what I did possible? I didn't

0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.400
<v Speaker 1>used to take animal seriously. I just didn't like I

0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:06.200
<v Speaker 1>would if I were cornered by a bear or something. Yeah,

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.400
<v Speaker 1>then you wouldn't. You wouldn't watch Animal Planet? Not really,

0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.600
<v Speaker 1>not really. This is another thing that the solid wife

0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:14.439
<v Speaker 1>has now introduced into my life. This is why I'm

0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:15.080
<v Speaker 1>a better man.

0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:21.080
<v Speaker 2>What is your number one? Animal Planet? Nature documentary type.

0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Show? Not the show itself, but subject. What animal are you?

0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Just like I can't get I know you love space,

0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:33.520
<v Speaker 1>but like, what animal can you not get enough of? Seals? Really?

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:36.440
<v Speaker 1>That's an interesting answer, I got. I gotta go seals? Yeah,

0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.600
<v Speaker 1>why seals? Just a good sea line? Scratches me right

0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:41.280
<v Speaker 1>where I itch it always happened. But like you, you

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.040
<v Speaker 1>would watch footage, a lot of footage of seals doing

0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 1>their thing. Yeah. Do you prefer the aquatic or the

0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:52.280
<v Speaker 1>land portion of the seals life? I prefer the seal pups. Actually,

0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:55.040
<v Speaker 1>see I love a good elephant seal. Okay, yeah, but

0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.680
<v Speaker 1>my number one is the orca, the killer Well, we

0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.160
<v Speaker 1>talked about this before, which which says a lot about

0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.960
<v Speaker 1>about our dynamic. Yeah, that you're more of a prey

0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.880
<v Speaker 1>guy and I'm more of a predator guy. Interesting. Also,

0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.800
<v Speaker 1>monkeys gotta I love a good monkey. It's hard not

0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.320
<v Speaker 1>to like the monkeys. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't

0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:14.280
<v Speaker 1>know how we got talking about this, but okay, we

0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:18.200
<v Speaker 1>were talking about the SEC. So let's let's stay in

0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:20.600
<v Speaker 1>the SEC as a whole. We'll come back to There

0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:22.600
<v Speaker 1>are a couple other SEC topics here that maybe we

0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:27.760
<v Speaker 1>can address. But I want to talk about something I'm

0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.720
<v Speaker 1>going to refer to here, coming in like a lion,

0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:41.800
<v Speaker 1>very ferociously. SEC Conference superiority, Dan, did you know that

0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.720
<v Speaker 1>only one team last season had fewer than four losses?

0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I did now that time we've been over this. The

0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:53.280
<v Speaker 1>East has no clear cut favorites at all. The conference

0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:55.840
<v Speaker 1>has a quarterback problem, which maybe we can discuss a

0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.880
<v Speaker 1>little bit later. And for the first time in forever,

0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:03.440
<v Speaker 1>the discussion was not about the SEC being the best conference.

0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:05.920
<v Speaker 1>We were talking about the Big Ten. We were talking

0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 1>about the ACC. Dan, For how long was the SEC

0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:15.960
<v Speaker 1>this planetary body around which the fabric of college football bent?

0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.520
<v Speaker 1>This past year? Not so much the case, not great,

0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.560
<v Speaker 1>not great. Only one team with hewer than four losses

0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.720
<v Speaker 1>coming in like a lion Dan, it will go out

0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:30.200
<v Speaker 1>like I'm gonna say a bear, Okay, and I'm gonna

0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:35.040
<v Speaker 1>say bear because what is a bear market? Ty? Bear

0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Market's a bad market. It's not a great market. Some

0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.160
<v Speaker 1>people are selling. Yeah, I like the quarterbacks.

0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:43.760
<v Speaker 2>I just I'm not seeing complete teams perhaps other than

0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:47.280
<v Speaker 2>Alabama that I believe in at this point, returning talent wise,

0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:49.560
<v Speaker 2>A lot of questions about LSU, A lot of questions

0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:51.960
<v Speaker 2>about texts A and M, and if they're gonna turn

0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:52.960
<v Speaker 2>any sort of corner.

0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee.

0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:55.640
<v Speaker 2>We talked about the loss of production there, lost of

0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 2>production with Arkansas. Florida's quarterback situation is Luke del Rio.

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.440
<v Speaker 2>The long term answer is at Felipe Franks, Georgia. We

0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:04.320
<v Speaker 2>have no idea if that offense can take a step

0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:06.880
<v Speaker 2>forward that I have very little confidence. So right now

0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:11.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm bearish on the UH on the SEC. But also

0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:14.560
<v Speaker 2>I think there's a bit of a hibernation situation. Okay,

0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.800
<v Speaker 2>I think the old Miss situation. You know, we were

0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:20.560
<v Speaker 2>hurting depth in the West, So I don't have a

0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.000
<v Speaker 2>bear sound, but I know you were talking before the

0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:24.560
<v Speaker 2>show that you're very good at roaring.

0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:28.120
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know if I could do the roar

0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:31.639
<v Speaker 1>Dan Okay, so I don't have a bear sound. I

0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:33.240
<v Speaker 1>could try a roar if you want.

0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:36.640
<v Speaker 2>No, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna compromise and

0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:40.280
<v Speaker 2>let's go with here we go. I found it.

0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:48.480
<v Speaker 1>This is this is bear. Okay, Yeah, that's all I got.

0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:50.320
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna go out like a bear. I think

0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:53.560
<v Speaker 1>it goes out like a lamb. I think there's a

0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 1>chance the SEC could return to being the best conference

0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:59.359
<v Speaker 1>in twenty seventeen, nice and comfortable. I think there's a

0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:01.440
<v Speaker 1>chance could happen. And again, there are going to be

0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:04.080
<v Speaker 1>plenty of teams in the Big Ten that I think

0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:08.080
<v Speaker 1>take a step back. Michigan loses a lot. They've recruited well,

0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:11.399
<v Speaker 1>but they lose a lot. Penn State, despite the fact

0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:14.359
<v Speaker 1>that they had an incredible renaissance a year ago. I

0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:16.240
<v Speaker 1>think there's a chance that they could take a step back.

0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:19.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm just not certain they continue on the same path

0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:23.520
<v Speaker 1>that we saw last year. And in the ACC obviously,

0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Clemson loses Deshaun Watson, Louisville loses some contributors on both

0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:31.960
<v Speaker 1>sides of the football. Florida State I think should still

0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:34.399
<v Speaker 1>be pretty rock soylid, but I don't know if the

0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:37.239
<v Speaker 1>Hives are quite as high in the ACC as they

0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:39.680
<v Speaker 1>were last season. So I think there's a chance there's

0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:42.520
<v Speaker 1>an opening there for the SEC. There actually is an

0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:44.439
<v Speaker 1>opening there for the Pac twelve as well, which I'm

0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:47.560
<v Speaker 1>sure we'll get into at some point here. But I

0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:52.240
<v Speaker 1>think the SEC is in really good position to regain

0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:55.040
<v Speaker 1>that superiority. So I think in like a line out,

0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.679
<v Speaker 1>like a la, I'm just like the expression says, all right,

0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:05.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm aac all day, all right? Moving on, Yes, football

0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:10.080
<v Speaker 1>in the great state of Tejas, Dan, Yes, football in

0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:14.360
<v Speaker 1>the state of Texas undeniably comes in like a lion.

0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:21.480
<v Speaker 1>There is uncertainty. TCU went what six and seven, Yeah,

0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:26.119
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't great. A year ago, Texas went five and

0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:28.639
<v Speaker 1>seven and fired their coach, hired Tom Herman but fired

0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:32.919
<v Speaker 1>their coach. Texas A and M went eight and five

0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:36.840
<v Speaker 1>on the year for the third consecutive season. And that's

0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:41.840
<v Speaker 1>not even counting Cliff Kingsbury at Texas Tech going five

0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:46.080
<v Speaker 1>and seven, Cliffs still not fixing his defense, And what's

0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:49.560
<v Speaker 1>going on at Baylor, which is a mess for reasons

0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:54.240
<v Speaker 1>beyond just football. New coach, new coach, new coach. But

0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:57.200
<v Speaker 1>five teams, five big teams right there that I've listed

0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:03.200
<v Speaker 1>that I think would undeniably put them in a place

0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:06.160
<v Speaker 1>of relative uncertainty as we head into twenty seventeen dance.

0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:08.560
<v Speaker 1>So football in the Great State of Texas coming in

0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:12.080
<v Speaker 1>like a lion going out like, well, first of all,

0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:15.200
<v Speaker 1>you're disrespecting UTSA and the Roadrunners. I'm sorry.

0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:18.480
<v Speaker 2>A nice year. I would add a nice year five

0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:21.320
<v Speaker 2>and three in conference six and seven overall, but considering

0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:24.120
<v Speaker 2>where they've come from, Yeah, a nice It's a bull team.

0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Tie. You watch yourself. I'm going to say, in like

0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:31.040
<v Speaker 1>a lion, out like a bull, like a bull, like

0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:39.240
<v Speaker 1>a bull. Tie. Is that a real That is a

0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:41.960
<v Speaker 1>real bull sound? Where did you find that? I cannot

0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:44.720
<v Speaker 1>tell you, Tye. I went out into nature and secretly

0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:49.119
<v Speaker 1>recorded that is a real bull sound because in like

0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:53.040
<v Speaker 1>a bull. It's partially because the longhorn thing. Yes, longhorns

0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:57.240
<v Speaker 1>are bulls, but also because TCU second in the nation

0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:02.320
<v Speaker 1>in returning production, Texas sixth to the nation in returning production.

0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:06.119
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about both sides of the ball. UTSA eighteenth tie.

0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I do my homework Baylor ninety third, so gonna take

0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:12.879
<v Speaker 1>some time, going to take some time in Waco. But

0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:16.280
<v Speaker 1>the TCU in Texas thing, to me is interesting because

0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:20.119
<v Speaker 1>of the experience, because of the quarterback experience. I NOWTCU

0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:22.760
<v Speaker 1>is sort of up in the air, but I have

0:21:23.000 --> 0:21:25.280
<v Speaker 1>a certain degree of trust with TCU that they just

0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:29.840
<v Speaker 1>don't have that many lower years in a row. Now

0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:32.439
<v Speaker 1>with how good Gary Patterson has done building a staff

0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:38.120
<v Speaker 1>and dealing with attrition, Texas wise, Charlie Strong clearly didn't

0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:42.439
<v Speaker 1>work out. Tom Herman very good in terms of getting

0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:47.080
<v Speaker 1>buy in overhauling. I think Texas is going to play

0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:50.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot closer to its potential in twenty seventeen. Texas

0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:55.320
<v Speaker 1>is not back, but in terms of improvement, Clay Helton

0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:58.800
<v Speaker 1>add how many months at USC to cross the fifty

0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:03.440
<v Speaker 1>multiple times against Ali Obama to so as good as

0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Clay Helton turn did turning around USC last year, Tom

0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Herman does have an advantage early in getting this Texas

0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:15.399
<v Speaker 1>team ready early on in the season getting by in

0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:19.840
<v Speaker 1>overhauling culture. I am bullish, so I'm going to say

0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:24.760
<v Speaker 1>they're out like a bull. TCU. That's a very convincing

0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:27.359
<v Speaker 1>bull Dan, Thank you, TCU. At twenty seventeen, you mentioned

0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:32.680
<v Speaker 1>about the returning production. They're actually the top Power five

0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:35.439
<v Speaker 1>team in that metric according to what Bill c has

0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:38.120
<v Speaker 1>to have. Number two FBS. Yeah, number two FBS, number

0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:42.919
<v Speaker 1>one Power five and they're mostly young. They've got some

0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:45.240
<v Speaker 1>turnover up front on defense, but they do bring a

0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:47.800
<v Speaker 1>lot back, which is why they are so high in

0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:50.240
<v Speaker 1>these rankings. It wouldn't be inconceivable for them to take

0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:54.040
<v Speaker 1>a step forward. You mentioned Texas, they're going to get

0:22:54.040 --> 0:22:56.200
<v Speaker 1>better on offense, they're going to get better on defense.

0:22:56.520 --> 0:22:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Obviously Tom Herman comes over, but he's sort of just

0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:02.240
<v Speaker 1>the head liner. Todd Orlando came over too, and he

0:23:02.320 --> 0:23:05.560
<v Speaker 1>did great work at Houston, so I think there's some

0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 1>promise there. On the other hand, I could see A

0:23:08.880 --> 0:23:11.480
<v Speaker 1>and M taking a step back because they lose a

0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:14.240
<v Speaker 1>lot in both sides of football. The quarterback situations still

0:23:14.320 --> 0:23:18.439
<v Speaker 1>kind of up in the air. Texas Tech is losing

0:23:18.480 --> 0:23:21.119
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Mahomes and I think that's going to be a

0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:24.560
<v Speaker 1>backbreaker for them. And then Baylor, I don't really have

0:23:24.600 --> 0:23:26.919
<v Speaker 1>an opinion on. There's so much going on on the

0:23:26.920 --> 0:23:28.879
<v Speaker 1>Baylor side that it's hard to really look at it

0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:36.960
<v Speaker 1>from a pure football standpoint, I say pitbull, but not

0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:39.720
<v Speaker 1>the good kind. Not the good kind. I'm saying pitbull.

0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Still ferocious, still very unpredictable and uncertain, but easier to

0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:48.560
<v Speaker 1>train and mostly friendlier than a lie. Oh we should

0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:53.120
<v Speaker 1>also mentioned TCU lost foster, Sawyer sailor spy. That's right. Yeah, yeah,

0:23:53.359 --> 0:23:55.320
<v Speaker 1>that's tough. So I say a real pit bull. That

0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:56.640
<v Speaker 1>was another authentic pit bull.

0:23:57.080 --> 0:24:00.320
<v Speaker 2>Listen, Ty, we both went with real pitbulls in our

0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:01.280
<v Speaker 2>own way.

0:24:02.080 --> 0:24:04.560

<v Speaker 1>is so ferocious, dan Ty, Can I ask you something?

0:25:56.760 --> 0:25:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever heard of chapulinas? No?

0:26:00.880 --> 0:26:04.080
<v Speaker 2>Neither had I until relatively recently. The name of the

0:26:04.119 --> 0:26:06.440
<v Speaker 2>food grasshopper?

0:26:06.480 --> 0:26:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Tie grasshopper? Would you eat grasshopper? An or not? Not?

0:26:11.160 --> 0:26:12.720
<v Speaker 1>If I knew it was a grasshopper?

0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:16.720
<v Speaker 2>I had it both in Mexico and in Houston. It's

0:26:16.920 --> 0:26:19.960
<v Speaker 2>pretty good grass Go out of my way for it.

0:26:19.960 --> 0:26:23.680
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty good. It's a sustainable protein, A little smoky.

0:26:23.760 --> 0:26:26.000
<v Speaker 2>How do you cook How do you cook a grasshopper?

0:26:26.440 --> 0:26:30.280
<v Speaker 2>I think you sort of cut them up, and then

0:26:30.320 --> 0:26:32.800
<v Speaker 2>you toss it like in a saute pan, with like

0:26:32.840 --> 0:26:37.399
<v Speaker 2>some garlic and oil some kind. I wouldn't eat it straight,

0:26:37.480 --> 0:26:39.240
<v Speaker 2>but I would throw it in a tortilla.

0:26:38.960 --> 0:26:41.639
<v Speaker 1>Some guak and some salsa. It's pretty good. What is

0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:48.040
<v Speaker 1>the most adventurous thing you've ever eaten? Ah? I guess human,

0:26:51.080 --> 0:26:55.879
<v Speaker 1>I guess the flesh of my fellow man. No, it

0:26:56.040 --> 0:27:02.440
<v Speaker 1>might be the grasshopper. I don't think jowl is too adventurous.

0:27:02.440 --> 0:27:05.679
<v Speaker 1>If your had pork jowl, no, I mean it's face,

0:27:06.760 --> 0:27:09.240
<v Speaker 1>no pork face. It just tastes sort of like bacon.

0:27:10.040 --> 0:27:11.960
<v Speaker 1>All right, I'm not even gonna answer this on even.

0:27:11.800 --> 0:27:13.600
<v Speaker 2>When I will say this though, when I was in

0:27:13.640 --> 0:27:16.359
<v Speaker 2>Mexico a few weeks ago, we were at a carnitask place,

0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:18.119
<v Speaker 2>and carnitas you and I know to be just sort

0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:21.200
<v Speaker 2>of like shredded pork shoulder, but it really in Mexico

0:27:21.480 --> 0:27:23.520
<v Speaker 2>is any part of the pig that is fried in

0:27:23.680 --> 0:27:24.560
<v Speaker 2>lard okay?

0:27:24.760 --> 0:27:25.760
<v Speaker 1>And you can sort of choose.

0:27:25.760 --> 0:27:27.840
<v Speaker 2>You can say, oh, I want rib meat or I

0:27:27.880 --> 0:27:29.840
<v Speaker 2>want shoulder meat, whatever, if you go to like a

0:27:29.840 --> 0:27:32.960
<v Speaker 2>place that specializes in carnitas. I went on a guided

0:27:33.000 --> 0:27:36.720
<v Speaker 2>tour and the guide was like, how adventurous do you

0:27:36.720 --> 0:27:39.000
<v Speaker 2>want to be because they are literally frying up every

0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:42.320
<v Speaker 2>piece of flesh on a pig. And I went with, like,

0:27:43.480 --> 0:27:48.480
<v Speaker 2>low ish, and I'm generally kind of adventurous. But people

0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:52.080
<v Speaker 2>that went with, yes, I want to be definitively adventurous.

0:27:53.560 --> 0:27:55.639
<v Speaker 2>Do you have a guess as for which part of

0:27:55.680 --> 0:27:58.280
<v Speaker 2>the pig they ate in a taco fried and like

0:27:58.320 --> 0:27:59.280
<v Speaker 2>shredded and cut up?

0:28:00.040 --> 0:28:01.720
<v Speaker 1>USh? I probably don't. What would you consider to be

0:28:01.800 --> 0:28:07.680
<v Speaker 1>adventurous the nether regions, let's say you're you're not wrong.

0:28:07.880 --> 0:28:11.760
<v Speaker 1>It was Uterus. Oh, it was pig Uterus, fried pig Uterus,

0:28:11.920 --> 0:28:15.800
<v Speaker 1>and everybody seemed to like it. Good, good for them. Yeah,

0:28:15.840 --> 0:28:19.040
<v Speaker 1>So what we're saying is not available on Blue Apron

0:28:19.240 --> 0:28:23.040
<v Speaker 1>No yet yet. Yeah yet. We'll keep your eyes peeled

0:28:23.960 --> 0:28:29.720
<v Speaker 1>all right, Uh, coming in like a lion giving me

0:28:29.760 --> 0:28:34.280
<v Speaker 1>the willies here, Yeah, Josh Rosen's draft stock, Dan Oh,

0:28:34.320 --> 0:28:36.719
<v Speaker 1>I like this. So look, this was one of our

0:28:36.760 --> 0:28:40.480
<v Speaker 1>fantasy things that we discussed a couple times and all

0:28:40.520 --> 0:28:44.760
<v Speaker 1>throughout the twenty sixteen season. A lot of hype around Rosen,

0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:47.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of steam on him after twenty fifteen because

0:28:47.880 --> 0:28:53.280
<v Speaker 1>he had a great freshman campaign right twenty sixteen quick,

0:28:53.360 --> 0:28:55.880
<v Speaker 1>it might be overstating it. I'd say very impressive. It

0:28:55.960 --> 0:28:58.560
<v Speaker 1>was impressive. He showed a ton of promise right, Yes,

0:28:59.160 --> 0:29:02.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixteen kicked a little dirt on that fire because

0:29:02.480 --> 0:29:04.960
<v Speaker 1>he only played half a season he got hurt. Even

0:29:05.000 --> 0:29:07.880
<v Speaker 1>before he got hurt, there wasn't a big boost in

0:29:08.000 --> 0:29:11.960
<v Speaker 1>his productivity, virtually identical to what he did in the

0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:15.800
<v Speaker 1>same span of time in twenty fifteen. So we're now

0:29:15.840 --> 0:29:18.640
<v Speaker 1>at a weird spot where he's got a ton of talent.

0:29:19.280 --> 0:29:22.520
<v Speaker 1>No one's forgotten about Josh Rosen, But the draft stock,

0:29:22.600 --> 0:29:26.120
<v Speaker 1>you could argue, has never quite been this low, and

0:29:26.160 --> 0:29:32.240
<v Speaker 1>now twenty seventeen, uncertainty. What's the offense going to look like?

0:29:32.320 --> 0:29:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it's coming in like a lion here. Okay, yeah,

0:29:36.400 --> 0:29:39.080
<v Speaker 1>it is a low point at the moment. Un So, yeah,

0:29:39.080 --> 0:29:40.880
<v Speaker 1>we don't know what the offenses look like. New coordinator

0:29:40.880 --> 0:29:44.160
<v Speaker 1>and jetfish. Yeah, I think that's reasonable. How do you

0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:49.800
<v Speaker 1>feel about where the offense is headed and where he heads.

0:29:50.280 --> 0:29:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Not particularly good? What is UCLA offensively in terms of

0:29:53.800 --> 0:29:56.160
<v Speaker 2>returning production? Let's take a look real quick, just to

0:29:56.160 --> 0:30:00.360
<v Speaker 2>give us a baseline idea. So they're ninety ninth, forty

0:30:00.440 --> 0:30:04.960
<v Speaker 2>ninth on offense, ninety ninth overall. So I'm worried that defensively,

0:30:05.000 --> 0:30:06.840
<v Speaker 2>even though they've recruited very well, I think they're gonna

0:30:06.840 --> 0:30:09.840
<v Speaker 2>take a step back to chars. McKinley was wonderful rushing

0:30:09.840 --> 0:30:13.600
<v Speaker 2>the quarterback. UCLA still I feel like hasn't developed past

0:30:13.680 --> 0:30:16.600
<v Speaker 2>catching weapons, and they were so atrocious on the ground

0:30:16.680 --> 0:30:19.040
<v Speaker 2>last year that even if they improved, they'll probably just

0:30:19.040 --> 0:30:22.120
<v Speaker 2>improve to about average and that doesn't necessarily help a

0:30:22.160 --> 0:30:25.200
<v Speaker 2>quarterback a ton. So I'm gonna go with a repeat here.

0:30:25.480 --> 0:30:27.920
<v Speaker 2>And I'm going to say UCLA and Josh Rosen in

0:30:28.120 --> 0:30:31.720
<v Speaker 2>like a lion, and because I think he's probably going

0:30:31.760 --> 0:30:35.480
<v Speaker 2>to end up on a bad NFL team or you know,

0:30:35.520 --> 0:30:39.160
<v Speaker 2>a bad NFL team's quarterback decisions in out like a

0:30:39.320 --> 0:30:40.760
<v Speaker 2>bull tie.

0:30:43.560 --> 0:30:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I love that sound. We need to start using that more. Dan.

0:30:47.680 --> 0:30:54.440
<v Speaker 1>As Josh Rosen heads to Houston, Yeah, that wasn't okay team,

0:30:54.440 --> 0:30:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I think that wouldn't be the worst place to go. No,

0:30:56.600 --> 0:30:59.240
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't. But that's that's what I'm feeling. I feel

0:30:59.240 --> 0:31:01.680
<v Speaker 1>like he'll have a bounce. You're to the point where

0:31:02.200 --> 0:31:07.960
<v Speaker 1>people will talk themselves out of his potential problems with

0:31:08.120 --> 0:31:11.480
<v Speaker 1>UCLA in twenty seventeen. Yeah, I think he provided he

0:31:11.480 --> 0:31:14.280
<v Speaker 1>doesn't get hurt, and provided he has an okay season.

0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I think I really hope he does. Yeah, as do.

0:31:17.120 --> 0:31:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I think he'll enter the NFL draft early. That's not

0:31:20.160 --> 0:31:23.840
<v Speaker 1>a stretch to say. I think his draft stock will

0:31:23.880 --> 0:31:27.680
<v Speaker 1>be a lot less uncertain than it is now. I

0:31:27.720 --> 0:31:29.880
<v Speaker 1>think he'll be fun to watch. I think he'll be

0:31:29.960 --> 0:31:34.239
<v Speaker 1>fun to envision in an NFL uniform, just maybe not

0:31:34.480 --> 0:31:40.000
<v Speaker 1>a fully crystallized matured beast, which is why I'm going

0:31:40.080 --> 0:31:46.440
<v Speaker 1>to say a Felabella miniature horse. You ever see a

0:31:46.520 --> 0:31:47.520
<v Speaker 1>miniature horse show?

0:31:47.920 --> 0:31:51.080
<v Speaker 2>That's what I've heard of. What is it's Shetlands, I've

0:31:51.080 --> 0:31:53.880
<v Speaker 2>heard of Felabella. That's a great word.

0:31:54.080 --> 0:31:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Felabella miniature horse. Yeah, that what was like on Robin Big.

0:31:59.160 --> 0:32:01.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what was on Big, but it is

0:32:01.840 --> 0:32:06.720
<v Speaker 1>a miniature horse. And I believe it's from Argentina. And

0:32:06.760 --> 0:32:08.480
<v Speaker 1>I saw a horse show once. So they trained them,

0:32:08.520 --> 0:32:09.920
<v Speaker 1>they ran in a circle. It was a lot of fun.

0:32:10.800 --> 0:32:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Would you rather have in twenty seventeen playing for an

0:32:15.880 --> 0:32:20.360
<v Speaker 1>above average college football a generic above average college football team?

0:32:21.080 --> 0:32:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Would you rather have a healthy Josh Rosen or a

0:32:24.240 --> 0:32:31.920
<v Speaker 1>healthy Deshaun Kaiser? Wow? I think I'd want Josh Rosen.

0:32:32.440 --> 0:32:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Why I watched every throw because we're doing an.

0:32:35.440 --> 0:32:37.240
<v Speaker 2>NFL draft show. We'll do we'll talk about the NFL

0:32:37.320 --> 0:32:39.160
<v Speaker 2>Draft like the week before it happens. I really enjoyed

0:32:39.160 --> 0:32:42.160
<v Speaker 2>our show with Peter Schreger last year. But I watched

0:32:42.160 --> 0:32:44.360
<v Speaker 2>every single throw of the Shawn Kaiser's in twenty sixteen,

0:32:44.400 --> 0:32:46.680
<v Speaker 2>and I don't do not hold him accountable for everything

0:32:46.720 --> 0:32:51.440
<v Speaker 2>because that offense was a mess. Deshaun Kaiser made one

0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:55.240
<v Speaker 2>read and launched it in as hard as he possibly could.

0:32:56.360 --> 0:32:58.520
<v Speaker 2>I think I would go with Josh Rosen at this point.

0:32:58.560 --> 0:33:00.560
<v Speaker 2>I think Deshaun Kaiser's more mature. I think he's a

0:33:00.560 --> 0:33:03.360
<v Speaker 2>better athlete, he's a better runner, he's more solid physically.

0:33:04.040 --> 0:33:08.040
<v Speaker 2>But I came away kind of disappointed with where Deshaun

0:33:08.160 --> 0:33:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Kaiser was, and I still feel like if Deshaun Kaiser

0:33:11.080 --> 0:33:12.480
<v Speaker 2>is going to be talked about as a top five

0:33:12.600 --> 0:33:16.320
<v Speaker 2>NFL draft pick after his twenty sixteen that a healthy

0:33:16.400 --> 0:33:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Josh Rosen has a higher ceiling at this point.

0:33:20.040 --> 0:33:21.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll take the opposite side of the argument, and I'll

0:33:21.920 --> 0:33:25.080
<v Speaker 1>just say because Kaiser can do more as a college

0:33:25.080 --> 0:33:29.880
<v Speaker 1>football quarterback. He may not be as gifted a passer

0:33:29.960 --> 0:33:34.239
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to making reads right, but he can

0:33:34.360 --> 0:33:36.280
<v Speaker 1>do more with his legs, and that gives you an

0:33:36.320 --> 0:33:39.160
<v Speaker 1>added dimension. I think Rosen's probably going to end up

0:33:39.200 --> 0:33:42.400
<v Speaker 1>being a much better passer. I think he's already borderline

0:33:42.480 --> 0:33:46.160
<v Speaker 1>shown that when he's been healthy. But Kaiser does give

0:33:46.200 --> 0:33:49.720
<v Speaker 1>you the legs. And it was sort of an unintended

0:33:50.600 --> 0:33:53.440
<v Speaker 1>advantage that Notre Dames stumbled into the first year that

0:33:53.480 --> 0:33:55.840
<v Speaker 1>he played quarterback. Right, They didn't really plan on running

0:33:55.880 --> 0:33:57.959
<v Speaker 1>him because they were already down a guy, right, they

0:33:57.960 --> 0:34:00.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to get somebody else hurt. Five fifteen was

0:34:00.720 --> 0:34:03.240
<v Speaker 1>considerably better, exactly. He ended up being very good at

0:34:03.280 --> 0:34:06.640
<v Speaker 1>running the football, and in many cases this past season

0:34:06.640 --> 0:34:08.879
<v Speaker 1>they needed him, they needed to ruin the football. He's

0:34:08.880 --> 0:34:10.600
<v Speaker 1>actually got better wheels than a lot of people think

0:34:10.640 --> 0:34:14.239
<v Speaker 1>he's a big guy. So from that standpoint, that standpoint alone,

0:34:14.280 --> 0:34:16.040
<v Speaker 1>I think he gives you a new dimension. I'll go

0:34:16.440 --> 0:34:19.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll go Kaiser over Rosen, just based on what we

0:34:19.080 --> 0:34:23.319
<v Speaker 1>saw year ago. I will say with Rosen there's a

0:34:23.320 --> 0:34:27.360
<v Speaker 1>lot more throwing arrogance that Kaiser doesn't have in a

0:34:27.400 --> 0:34:27.839
<v Speaker 1>bad way.

0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Right That Kaiser doesn't scan the field, he doesn't throw

0:34:31.560 --> 0:34:36.880
<v Speaker 2>guys open as much. But he is very seldom to

0:34:36.920 --> 0:34:39.960
<v Speaker 2>be confident or overly confident in his ability to make

0:34:40.000 --> 0:34:43.839
<v Speaker 2>a play fair, which is agh, which is a good quality. Yeah,

0:34:44.280 --> 0:34:50.600
<v Speaker 2>all right, coming in like a lion. This team went

0:34:51.239 --> 0:34:52.319
<v Speaker 2>one in eight in the Big Ten.

0:34:52.640 --> 0:34:55.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah they did. They went three and nine over all,

0:34:55.920 --> 0:35:00.840
<v Speaker 1>DAN one hundred and third one zero three in the

0:35:00.960 --> 0:35:05.040
<v Speaker 1>nation in points per game. It was clearly a significant

0:35:05.040 --> 0:35:09.120
<v Speaker 1>step back on offense as well as defense. Michigan State.

0:35:10.360 --> 0:35:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Michigan State was a team that a lot of people

0:35:13.640 --> 0:35:17.600
<v Speaker 1>were high on going into twenty sixteen. Clearly that did

0:35:17.640 --> 0:35:20.719
<v Speaker 1>not work out. Now they're in a position where they

0:35:20.760 --> 0:35:25.800
<v Speaker 1>had a really bad year. They enter a rejuvenated Big

0:35:25.840 --> 0:35:28.600
<v Speaker 1>ten East. Despite the fact that there may be a

0:35:28.640 --> 0:35:31.560
<v Speaker 1>few teams on that side of the conference taking a

0:35:31.600 --> 0:35:36.120
<v Speaker 1>step back, it still feels like a decidedly more competitive

0:35:36.480 --> 0:35:39.480
<v Speaker 1>division than it was the last time. Michigan State was

0:35:39.760 --> 0:35:44.640
<v Speaker 1>potentially consequential. So I ask you, mister Rubinstein, three to nine,

0:35:44.640 --> 0:35:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Michigan State in like a lion out like a I'm

0:35:48.120 --> 0:35:53.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna go vulture here, ty a vulture, a vulture. Wow,

0:35:54.400 --> 0:35:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna I'm gonna cover myself when I'm gonna hedge

0:35:56.719 --> 0:36:00.200
<v Speaker 1>because either Michigan State becomes a team and by the way,

0:36:00.239 --> 0:36:03.759
<v Speaker 1>returning production wise, one hundred and twenty four. Yeah, not great, Bob,

0:36:04.320 --> 0:36:07.480
<v Speaker 1>not great Bob, But Michigan is one hundred and twenty

0:36:07.520 --> 0:36:10.879
<v Speaker 1>seventh across the state. Ohio State seventy second, Penn State

0:36:10.920 --> 0:36:14.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventh, So that's a little bit scary, But schedule wise,

0:36:14.239 --> 0:36:17.400
<v Speaker 1>it's I would argue, somewhat advantageous. They have Michigan on

0:36:17.440 --> 0:36:19.760
<v Speaker 1>the road, but they get Maryland and Rutger's Cross Division

0:36:20.560 --> 0:36:23.080
<v Speaker 1>and Indiana with a new coach. They get him at home.

0:36:23.160 --> 0:36:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Field's not the most difficult place to play against

0:36:25.560 --> 0:36:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Northwestern Minnesota on the road, but it's a new coach

0:36:28.880 --> 0:36:30.319
<v Speaker 1>feeling things out. Notre Dame.

0:36:30.320 --> 0:36:33.280
<v Speaker 2>They get in Spartan Stadium, Iowa. They get in Spartan

0:36:33.320 --> 0:36:35.800
<v Speaker 2>Stadium and early on Western with a new coach, a

0:36:35.840 --> 0:36:40.239
<v Speaker 2>disappointing bowling green, so they could pick apart the carcasses

0:36:40.280 --> 0:36:43.000
<v Speaker 2>of disappointing teams, and by the end of the year

0:36:43.080 --> 0:36:44.880
<v Speaker 2>we can say, all right, that's what they did. They

0:36:44.920 --> 0:36:45.439
<v Speaker 2>weren't great.

0:36:45.480 --> 0:36:47.719
<v Speaker 1>They weren't a falcon, they weren't an eagle, they weren't

0:36:47.760 --> 0:36:52.720
<v Speaker 1>a hawk, but they they ate. You know, they'll they'll

0:36:52.880 --> 0:36:56.759
<v Speaker 1>get back to a bowl game, or they themselves are

0:36:56.840 --> 0:37:02.719
<v Speaker 1>the carcass. And Michigan at Michigan Stadium, Ohio State at

0:37:02.760 --> 0:37:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State, Penn State returning a ton including two Heisman

0:37:07.400 --> 0:37:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Trophy contenders on offense, at least two Heisman Trophy contenders

0:37:11.600 --> 0:37:16.640
<v Speaker 1>will pick them apart, not unlike a vulture strategy. All right,

0:37:16.800 --> 0:37:20.840
<v Speaker 1>so what you're saying is maybe not a return to

0:37:21.640 --> 0:37:26.920
<v Speaker 1>ten and two yes, I think I like four yes,

0:37:27.080 --> 0:37:29.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it's entirely possible. Michigan State has always been

0:37:29.640 --> 0:37:34.520
<v Speaker 1>a program that has had to rely on identifying diamonds

0:37:34.520 --> 0:37:37.680
<v Speaker 1>in the rough for developmental guys and developing them, you know,

0:37:37.760 --> 0:37:41.000
<v Speaker 1>seeing qualities, finding fits for Michigan State in the way

0:37:41.000 --> 0:37:45.760
<v Speaker 1>that their culture operates, but without a ton of players

0:37:45.800 --> 0:37:50.279
<v Speaker 1>coming back to sort of influence winning culture, and it's tough.

0:37:50.440 --> 0:37:52.800
<v Speaker 1>It's just it's a more it's a tougher ask in

0:37:52.840 --> 0:37:55.000
<v Speaker 1>the way that that division has come forward with three

0:37:55.239 --> 0:37:59.719
<v Speaker 1>very very strong teams. Agreed. Yeah, I think we're on

0:37:59.800 --> 0:38:03.600
<v Speaker 1>a similar train of thought here. Dan. I'm not gonna

0:38:03.600 --> 0:38:06.480
<v Speaker 1>say Vulture, I don't think it's quite as big of

0:38:06.520 --> 0:38:08.680
<v Speaker 1>a lion, but I'm must say they go out like

0:38:08.719 --> 0:38:13.319
<v Speaker 1>a house cat, maybe entering twenty eighteen with their own

0:38:13.360 --> 0:38:16.680
<v Speaker 1>share of questions, maybe not quite as uncertain as they

0:38:16.719 --> 0:38:19.719
<v Speaker 1>are now entering twenty seventeen. But I just kind of

0:38:19.719 --> 0:38:21.600
<v Speaker 1>feel like Gate and four is going to be the ceiling.

0:38:21.760 --> 0:38:23.600
<v Speaker 2>May I ask you a follow up question, So the

0:38:23.600 --> 0:38:28.640
<v Speaker 2>twenty fifteen Michigan State team, Vulture wise, so a down

0:38:28.680 --> 0:38:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Oregon team, not a bad Oregon team in twenty fifteen,

0:38:32.040 --> 0:38:34.800
<v Speaker 2>but Vernon Adams, you know, they picked him apart because

0:38:34.840 --> 0:38:39.680
<v Speaker 2>he was injured. Ohio State, you could argue offensive coordinating

0:38:39.719 --> 0:38:42.120
<v Speaker 2>was a bit of a carcass in that game, not

0:38:42.200 --> 0:38:44.800
<v Speaker 2>giving the ball to Zeke Elliott. Penn State was certainly

0:38:44.800 --> 0:38:47.120
<v Speaker 2>down that year. That was the sort of I would argue,

0:38:47.160 --> 0:38:51.239
<v Speaker 2>the basement of the running the old spread system that

0:38:51.320 --> 0:38:54.480
<v Speaker 2>James Franklin brought in. They got killed in that game, right, correct, Yeah,

0:38:54.560 --> 0:38:57.000
<v Speaker 2>that was like a fifty to sixteen kind of game.

0:38:59.080 --> 0:39:02.839
<v Speaker 2>And Michigan clearly at the beginning of the Harbaugh era,

0:39:03.120 --> 0:39:05.880
<v Speaker 2>and that was, you know, the carcass of special teams

0:39:05.920 --> 0:39:10.040
<v Speaker 2>play and Brady Hoke before that. So I'm not going

0:39:10.080 --> 0:39:13.279
<v Speaker 2>to disrespect Michigan State and fully attribute their success to

0:39:13.320 --> 0:39:16.479
<v Speaker 2>them picking apart carcasses and not necessarily being the ones

0:39:16.520 --> 0:39:17.040
<v Speaker 2>to kill them.

0:39:17.160 --> 0:39:22.680
<v Speaker 1>But there might be an element. Okay, fair enough, I agree, Okay,

0:39:24.560 --> 0:39:30.600
<v Speaker 1>And finally, finally, in like a lion, I need to

0:39:30.600 --> 0:39:33.320
<v Speaker 1>harkenhim back to this for a second because I remember

0:39:33.360 --> 0:39:36.759
<v Speaker 1>it very vividly. Last year. I took copious notes we

0:39:36.800 --> 0:39:40.759
<v Speaker 1>both did on our twenty sixteen college football five part

0:39:40.800 --> 0:39:43.960
<v Speaker 1>preview that we put together, and I remember as part

0:39:44.000 --> 0:39:47.200
<v Speaker 1>of that preview, I went through our friend Phil Steele's

0:39:47.200 --> 0:39:51.360
<v Speaker 1>season preview, as I do every year, and in that preview,

0:39:51.400 --> 0:39:54.200
<v Speaker 1>he assumed that John Franklin the Third was going to

0:39:54.200 --> 0:39:58.799
<v Speaker 1>be Auburn's answer at quarterback. Alas that was not the

0:39:58.840 --> 0:40:04.200
<v Speaker 1>case he saw some time, but he certainly wasn't the

0:40:04.320 --> 0:40:07.960
<v Speaker 1>prolonged answer at quarterback for Auburn. Seawan White got the

0:40:08.000 --> 0:40:10.960
<v Speaker 1>majority of the steps, and at times he was effective.

0:40:10.960 --> 0:40:16.040
<v Speaker 1>I gave him and Gus Malson a lot of crap

0:40:16.120 --> 0:40:19.719
<v Speaker 1>for it, not that they care or even new, but

0:40:20.160 --> 0:40:23.799
<v Speaker 1>I just thought starting Seawan White was lopping off an

0:40:23.920 --> 0:40:26.239
<v Speaker 1>entire leg of your offense because he just didn't give

0:40:26.280 --> 0:40:30.319
<v Speaker 1>you much more beyond like a game manager role. So

0:40:30.360 --> 0:40:32.680
<v Speaker 1>I was disappointed. We didn't see any of that creativity

0:40:32.680 --> 0:40:35.280
<v Speaker 1>that we've come to know and love from Gus Malson.

0:40:36.320 --> 0:40:39.479
<v Speaker 1>Now they enter twenty seventeen, Seawan White is still there,

0:40:40.280 --> 0:40:43.040
<v Speaker 1>John Franklin the Third is still there, but they've also

0:40:43.040 --> 0:40:46.160
<v Speaker 1>got Woody Barrett. They've got a sophomore named Tyler Queen,

0:40:46.239 --> 0:40:49.880
<v Speaker 1>a freshman named Malik Willis, and of course the Baylor

0:40:50.040 --> 0:40:56.040
<v Speaker 1>transfer Jared Stidham. Gus Melzon has options, but which one

0:40:56.120 --> 0:40:59.960
<v Speaker 1>will he pick? Auburn's quarterback coming in like a lion

0:41:00.040 --> 0:41:03.480
<v Speaker 1>and going out like a I'm gonna say, goat, oh

0:41:03.600 --> 0:41:07.240
<v Speaker 1>and not and not theg dot O dot a dot

0:41:07.280 --> 0:41:12.320
<v Speaker 1>t goat. But I'm kind of scared specifically for Jarrett Stidham,

0:41:12.840 --> 0:41:15.120
<v Speaker 1>because I don't know that that is the the most

0:41:15.200 --> 0:41:17.960
<v Speaker 1>perfect fit. To me, he feels like a quarterback who

0:41:18.000 --> 0:41:20.719
<v Speaker 1>can run, a thrower who can run, and I know

0:41:20.800 --> 0:41:23.319
<v Speaker 1>Cam Newton sort of developed into that in his one

0:41:23.360 --> 0:41:28.080
<v Speaker 1>transfer year. But I also am under the impression from

0:41:28.160 --> 0:41:31.160
<v Speaker 1>watching Auburn these past few years under gusmels On that

0:41:31.719 --> 0:41:34.600
<v Speaker 1>they are looking for somebody at quarterback who can shoulder

0:41:35.080 --> 0:41:38.560
<v Speaker 1>a good amount of the rushing load. Nick Marshall was

0:41:38.560 --> 0:41:42.480
<v Speaker 1>able to successfully Sean White and a couple other quarterbacks

0:41:42.520 --> 0:41:45.800
<v Speaker 1>less so, and I don't know that that generally fits

0:41:46.000 --> 0:41:49.200
<v Speaker 1>what Gusmelson is able to do. So I'm I'm scared

0:41:49.800 --> 0:41:53.400
<v Speaker 1>much in the way that screaming goats appears to be scared.

0:41:53.520 --> 0:41:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Ty Well, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna play the

0:41:56.520 --> 0:41:58.480
<v Speaker 1>goats sound. Did you know that I was gonna go

0:41:58.480 --> 0:42:00.719
<v Speaker 1>goat with this one? No? I did not. I have

0:42:00.760 --> 0:42:03.640
<v Speaker 1>a baby goat right here. I swear to you, on

0:42:03.719 --> 0:42:06.879
<v Speaker 1>all things holy Simbadio that I am going to go

0:42:06.880 --> 0:42:09.520
<v Speaker 1>goat here, and that I had planned on going goat here.

0:42:11.719 --> 0:42:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I think regardless of who ends up with this job,

0:42:15.600 --> 0:42:18.919
<v Speaker 1>I've lost some confidence in gusmel Zon's ability to put

0:42:18.920 --> 0:42:24.360
<v Speaker 1>together like a well balanced offense, something that incorporates both

0:42:24.400 --> 0:42:27.279
<v Speaker 1>the run and the pass. We saw it a couple

0:42:27.280 --> 0:42:30.399
<v Speaker 1>of years ago with Nick Marshall. Right, but it's been

0:42:30.400 --> 0:42:32.719
<v Speaker 1>a while. I feel like it's been too long. Had

0:42:32.840 --> 0:42:36.719
<v Speaker 1>really good pass catching options. Sammy Coates was great, Carda Lewis. Yeah,

0:42:37.719 --> 0:42:40.359
<v Speaker 1>so I'm thinking that it's a goat, but the kind

0:42:40.360 --> 0:42:43.400
<v Speaker 1>of goat that has a fatal flaw. Oh, you know,

0:42:43.480 --> 0:42:48.600
<v Speaker 1>like one of those fainting goats, one of those goats

0:42:48.600 --> 0:42:52.080
<v Speaker 1>that when they get all worked up, they just faint. Yeah,

0:42:52.400 --> 0:42:54.840
<v Speaker 1>so I get some sort of critter with a fatal flaw.

0:42:55.200 --> 0:43:00.359
<v Speaker 1>We're on the exact same page here With that being said, Dan, Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I'm a fan of my local post office, but it

0:43:59.840 --> 0:44:03.640

<v Speaker 2>So, as I mentioned to you, Ty, the the Espionation

0:45:28.800 --> 0:45:30.120
<v Speaker 2>college football people are in town.

0:45:30.440 --> 0:45:38.279
<v Speaker 1>Yes, correct, correct? I got a an update about a

0:45:38.400 --> 0:45:45.640
<v Speaker 1>romantic pursuit whoa of Richard Johnson whoa that began on

0:45:45.719 --> 0:45:51.080
<v Speaker 1>the evening of the Soliverble Live show at Hell Country. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa?

0:45:51.760 --> 0:45:53.760
<v Speaker 1>I did, I got this. I got an update, Tye.

0:45:54.040 --> 0:45:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Are we allowed to talk about this on the show?

0:45:56.360 --> 0:46:00.759
<v Speaker 2>So I will not call out this person that Richard

0:46:00.840 --> 0:46:05.800
<v Speaker 2>Johnson is now at least unofficially romantically entangled with Okay,

0:46:05.840 --> 0:46:10.520
<v Speaker 2>the dates dating ongoing. I don't want to mis represent anything.

0:46:10.560 --> 0:46:12.799
<v Speaker 1>You're going to torpedo the whole damn thing, dude.

0:46:12.960 --> 0:46:14.839
<v Speaker 2>I might torpedo the whole thing, but I did ask

0:46:14.920 --> 0:46:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Richard's permission and he said go for it.

0:46:16.840 --> 0:46:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, Well then so be it. So it's ongoing, Ty,

0:46:22.520 --> 0:46:27.040
<v Speaker 1>no kidding on whatever level, it's ongoing. And as I've

0:46:27.040 --> 0:46:31.160
<v Speaker 1>said before, Ty, hilden Brandt is the ultimate afrodisiac. We

0:46:31.200 --> 0:46:33.680
<v Speaker 1>bring people together, man, That's what we do, bring people together.

0:46:33.840 --> 0:46:37.680
<v Speaker 2>So I'm just saying right now we are going to

0:46:37.719 --> 0:46:39.800
<v Speaker 2>be doing the tentative plan. We're going to do a

0:46:39.840 --> 0:46:44.080
<v Speaker 2>live show in August to do our fantasy things draft live.

0:46:44.320 --> 0:46:47.160
<v Speaker 2>This is breaking news now, Yeah, this is breaking news.

0:46:47.320 --> 0:46:49.719
<v Speaker 2>We have not booked anything. That is the plan.

0:46:49.880 --> 0:46:52.120
<v Speaker 1>The plan is at some point in August, we're going

0:46:52.160 --> 0:46:55.439
<v Speaker 1>to get together a larger gathering and you will see

0:46:55.480 --> 0:46:59.000
<v Speaker 1>information on this in the coming days and weeks and months.

0:46:59.040 --> 0:47:02.879
<v Speaker 1>We'll put together mailing list. It will be limited availability

0:47:03.120 --> 0:47:05.640
<v Speaker 1>as the first time, though maybe not quite as limited

0:47:06.560 --> 0:47:09.439
<v Speaker 1>and will be bigger. Yeah. The plan is to put

0:47:09.480 --> 0:47:13.920
<v Speaker 1>together a really fun season preview show and instead of

0:47:13.920 --> 0:47:16.399
<v Speaker 1>boring people we're gonna we're gonna have our Fantasy Things

0:47:16.480 --> 0:47:19.680
<v Speaker 1>draft for the twenty seventeen season, live in Living Color.

0:47:20.440 --> 0:47:22.839
<v Speaker 1>So all I'm gonna say is, if you're a single gal,

0:47:23.000 --> 0:47:27.120
<v Speaker 1>if you're a single fella, we will probably be doing

0:47:27.160 --> 0:47:31.360
<v Speaker 1>this place that has food, that has drinks, and I

0:47:31.400 --> 0:47:34.080
<v Speaker 1>would say it's safe to say it's going to be

0:47:34.200 --> 0:47:37.480
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a singles mixer. Tie do is that

0:47:37.520 --> 0:47:37.839
<v Speaker 1>a word?

0:47:37.880 --> 0:47:39.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know if that's a word anymore, But

0:47:40.040 --> 0:47:42.239
<v Speaker 2>you know what I can say now with authority. We

0:47:42.280 --> 0:47:43.880
<v Speaker 2>have a very attractive audience.

0:47:44.239 --> 0:47:49.520
<v Speaker 1>We do, yes, absolutely informed, educated, good jobs, interesting people

0:47:49.719 --> 0:47:53.040
<v Speaker 1>and just the top of the top looks wise. Tie,

0:47:53.320 --> 0:47:56.359
<v Speaker 1>you and I were the two least interesting people there.

0:47:56.680 --> 0:47:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying, right now, keep your eyes peeled because

0:48:00.040 --> 0:48:01.240
<v Speaker 2>we've got an attractive audience.

0:48:01.280 --> 0:48:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Head on a swivel. Absolutely all right. Wow, you're already

0:48:05.920 --> 0:48:09.880
<v Speaker 1>paying ty. This is already breaking news here. Yeah, our

0:48:09.880 --> 0:48:14.239
<v Speaker 1>first twenty seventeen great, so listen. Yeah, I teased this

0:48:14.280 --> 0:48:16.239
<v Speaker 1>a little bit and I saw some action on the

0:48:16.320 --> 0:48:20.360
<v Speaker 1>form we're going to be putting out at by the

0:48:20.480 --> 0:48:24.239
<v Speaker 1>end of this week, a voting poll for people who

0:48:24.280 --> 0:48:27.319
<v Speaker 1>want to jump in and vote for our Verby Show.

0:48:28.000 --> 0:48:30.919
<v Speaker 1>The plan is that we're going to do that either

0:48:31.000 --> 0:48:34.279
<v Speaker 1>next week or the week after, right, So it's going

0:48:34.360 --> 0:48:36.760
<v Speaker 1>to be in short order that will do our Verby Show.

0:48:37.080 --> 0:48:41.120
<v Speaker 1>They just did the Oscars a couple days ago. We

0:48:41.239 --> 0:48:45.000
<v Speaker 1>can assure you we'll probably have that level of screw

0:48:45.080 --> 0:48:48.279
<v Speaker 1>up and more as we give out the biggest and

0:48:48.760 --> 0:48:52.160
<v Speaker 1>brightest awards in the college football world, as we do

0:48:52.239 --> 0:48:55.560
<v Speaker 1>one final recap of the twenty sixteen season that was.

0:48:55.640 --> 0:48:58.000
<v Speaker 1>But before we get to that point, we need you

0:48:58.040 --> 0:49:00.160
<v Speaker 1>to step in and let us know what you think.

0:49:00.160 --> 0:49:02.640
<v Speaker 1>We need some voting. We need some voting. So it's

0:49:02.800 --> 0:49:05.280
<v Speaker 1>it's free, It's open to everybody to come in and vote.

0:49:05.840 --> 0:49:08.120
<v Speaker 1>We'll put together a nice little fun show talk about

0:49:08.560 --> 0:49:11.640
<v Speaker 1>all of these award winners and and much much more so.

0:49:11.640 --> 0:49:15.480
<v Speaker 1>The Verbie Show is forthcoming. We are currently signing up

0:49:15.520 --> 0:49:17.920
<v Speaker 1>coaches that are going to be on the program. Yeah,

0:49:18.520 --> 0:49:20.840
<v Speaker 1>in the next couple months. We've got some healths applying,

0:49:20.880 --> 0:49:23.840
<v Speaker 1>some headlining acts that I am extremely excited about. We

0:49:23.920 --> 0:49:26.640
<v Speaker 1>won't spill the beans on that quite yet, and then

0:49:26.680 --> 0:49:29.440
<v Speaker 1>some other fun stuff planned as we enter into the

0:49:29.600 --> 0:49:32.840
<v Speaker 1>long doldrums of the off season. Ty, did you notice

0:49:32.880 --> 0:49:36.160
<v Speaker 1>the avalanche of support that Donuts received. I did, Yeah,

0:49:36.200 --> 0:49:39.880
<v Speaker 1>I did. It was like forty seven to one. People

0:49:39.880 --> 0:49:42.719
<v Speaker 1>are pro donuts and I am, which doesn't make am

0:49:42.719 --> 0:49:45.400
<v Speaker 1>anti cake. There are cake donuts. I am pro donut.

0:49:45.760 --> 0:49:50.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm pro cake. I may be anti donut wall, but

<v Speaker 1>I need to see it. I need to see it.

0:49:51.920 --> 0:49:55.120

<v Speaker 1>I actually see how this is used. Okay, all right,

0:50:01.480 --> 0:50:01.919
<v Speaker 1>I just.

0:50:01.960 --> 0:50:05.160
<v Speaker 2>The ratio is flipped with donuts. It's everything is coming

0:50:05.239 --> 0:50:05.600
<v Speaker 2>up donut.

0:50:05.680 --> 0:50:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I think you'll be very pleased with the wall. Tie.

0:50:08.680 --> 0:50:10.799
<v Speaker 1>All right, I'm giving it a.

0:50:10.800 --> 0:50:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Chance, and there will be far more donuts than people

0:50:14.680 --> 0:50:16.080
<v Speaker 2>and we'll have to go bags too.

0:50:16.160 --> 0:50:20.160
