1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Solid Verbal.

2
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Solid Verbal, boys and girls. My

3
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: name is ty Hildon Brant. I am joined as always

4
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: by my good friend and colleague and co host over

5
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 2: there in beautiful New York City, a gentleman. You know him,

6
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: is Dan Rubenstein. Dan, Welcome to the Verbies.

7
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I wish you had said BLUs straight

8
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: New York City, because it is in fact BLUs Street

9
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 1: today on this Verbie Wednesday, and I am excited and

10
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: everything is gallants and emotions are running.

11
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 2: High, blustery Dan, as our stars are walking the red

12
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 2: carpet here today.

13
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: Absolutely, who are you wearing? Do you want me to

14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: be quite literal? Sure?

15
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: I was gonna say Indo Chino, since they're a sponsor,

16
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: a longtime sponsor of the Verbal.

17
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: Well, of course I'm wearing Indo Chino. Indochino. Are they

18
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: a sponsor of the Verbies? They are not, No, Okay.

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: So I'm wearing a T shirt I bought in New

20
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: Orleans at a coffee shop that I really liked because

21
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: it was very strong coffee and they had crushed ice,

22
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: and it is called French truck coffee. So I'm wearing

23
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: that T shirt and it is very comfortable. It is

24
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: a Tribelend shirt I.

25
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: Am currently wearing. I shouldn't say this on the air,

26
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: do it. I am wearing a shirt and it's one

27
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: of those Hanes white under t shirts. M really dressing

28
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: up for this gallant occasion here, Gallants.

29
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: I don't know how many times.

30
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: We've done the Verbye Awards. Last year, I hate to

31
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: spoil the fun. We didn't actually record in Radio City

32
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 2: Music Hall. I've been going with that joke for about

33
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: a year now. I feel like it's probably worn out.

34
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: It's welcome. We did some audio man that was overwhelming.

35
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: Last year's hi that the awards show people turning out

36
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: for that was just flabbergasting. It was an overwhelming experience.

37
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: We worked a little audio magic last year and made

38
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: things sound the way we wanted. Suffice to say it

39
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: took a lot of time and a lot of effort.

40
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: It is our off season. We're still doing the Verbies.

41
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: We're just not going to go all out. We're gonna

42
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 2: go back to the old school variety of verbies here

43
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen. So for those of you who are

44
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: just tuning in, what are the Verby Awards are what

45
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 2: are we talking about, Well, a couple of years ago,

46
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 2: and it does escape me when in fact we started

47
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 2: doing this, But we decided we were going to do

48
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: our own award show, and I believe it was you.

49
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 2: You came up with the concept of the Verby Awards.

50
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: Kirk Kurbtreet has what the herbies.

51
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 1: Right, Kirkurbstreet has the Herbies and the preseason Herbies, and

52
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: we came up with the Verbies and have sort of

53
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: woven audio magic throughout the years in various ways. I've

54
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: done this from your mom's house with you. Yeah, I

55
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 1: was the first time, I think it was the first

56
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: time I met her. It was definitely the first time

57
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: I spent time in Allentown and went to the house

58
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: in which you grew up. And we've done this show

59
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: with audio magic with various presenters. We did this show

60
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: when I was living in la and I remember making

61
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll ditching USC and a helicopter jokes on the

62
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: red carpet, something along those lines. So this has been

63
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: a long standing postseason award show tradition. Second only, I

64
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: would say to the Pismen in terms of college football royalty.

65
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely, so. The way that we've done this over the years.

66
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: It's varied. Originally, we started coming up with our own awards,

67
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: and we came up with our own.

68
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: Set of candidates.

69
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: But then as the verballerhood grew, we started allowing people

70
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: to vote, and then we started allowing people to nominate,

71
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: and it has now basically turned into a verbaler generated

72
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: award show. You gave us the nominees, we put them

73
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: in a form.

74
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: You voted.

75
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: Thousands of you voted on who you thought should win.

76
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: I've got the results here in La La Land in

77
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: individual cards DAN that are appropriately labeled, and we're going

78
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: to go award by award here and announce some winners tonight.

79
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: The only caveat that I will announce and we've done

80
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: this before, kind of like a captain's pick or you

81
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: know what, do they having the voice where they could

82
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: save one person? Sort of along those same lines. You

83
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: and I have overriding ability here because it is our show.

84
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: So if we determine that we want to put someone

85
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 2: else in and usurp what our audience out there has

86
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: voted for, we reserve that right.

87
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: And of course, thanks as always to Price Waterhouse Cooper

88
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: for keeping track of the safety and security of the

89
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: final results. On that note, Dan, shall we dive right?

90
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: I think we should not Coach of the year, all right?

91
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: Not Coach of the Year. Dan.

92
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 2: Here are your nominees for basically the reversive coach of

93
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: the year. A lot of coaches out there in the

94
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: wide world of college football didn't have a great year.

95
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 2: Here were the four that came in above all the others.

96
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: Butch Jones from Tennessee, Charlie Strong from Texas, Bob Diaco

97
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 2: from Yukon, and Brian Kelly from Notre Dame. If you

98
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: were voting, and I know you voted, who did you

99
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 2: vote for?

100
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 3: Here?

101
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: Well?

102
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: I'm sort of shocked that both Mark Helfrich and Les

103
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: Miles didn't make the final four, so a testament to

104
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: where the heads of the verballers are at. But of

105
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: these four, I would indeed vote for Bob Diaco, Bobby

106
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: Iago the depths to which Yukon fell, even though the

107
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: height the ceiling wasn't going to be as high as

108
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: perhaps Texas and Texas did lose to Kansas, I think

109
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: the complete struggle of even adequate football would give it

110
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: to Bob Diaco.

111
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 2: For me, I was surprised that Helfrich wasn't on any

112
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: of the lists. Actually, yeah, that we put out there.

113
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 2: We might have gotten a stray helfridch nomination here or there,

114
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 2: but not for or not.

115
00:05:54,160 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year. I voted for.

116
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly from Notre Dame, from my beloved Not Dame

117
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: fighting guy.

118
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: I'm trying to boost that fantasy things overlooking or what

119
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: was the thing for Brian Kelly. You're just boosting your

120
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: own fantasy second guessing Brian Kelly. There, it is all right, Dan,

121
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: dim the lights here we go. Dim the lights they

122
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: are dimmed.

123
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: Your winner for twenty seventeen, Verbie not Coach of the

124
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 2: Year is.

125
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly. Congreg Do you want to give a speech

126
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: on his behalf or do you want me to? I'd

127
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: prefer not to give a speech on behalf of Brian Kelly.

128
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: I mean listen, first and foremost, Texas, Michigan state, Duke,

129
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: NC state in not ideal conditions, Stanford in relatively ideal conditions,

130
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: Navy in just general fine conditions. The lead against Virginia

131
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: attach in USA couldn't have done it without any of those.

132
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: Here, here's what I'd say. This isn't like a funny

133
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: speech or anything like that. I voted for Brian Kelly

134
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 2: thirty six point eight percent of the vote versus thirty

135
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 2: five point one percent of the vote for Butch Jones.

136
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: So perhaps for a lesser popular contest, my one vote

137
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: could have made up the difference there. Wow, alas it

138
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: did not. It was a fair margin, but only by

139
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: one point seven percent. Clear cut winner and Brian Kelly.

140
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 2: I voted for Kelly because so many different things went

141
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: wrong for Notre Dame. It wasn't like just the defense

142
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: or just the offense, or just an injury or just

143
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 2: a discipline thing. They all kind of occurred to different spots.

144
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: You could never quite get a fix on this season,

145
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: and it just it kind of went into a weird

146
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: death spiral.

147
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: Butch Jones still won like nine games.

148
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: Charlie Strong, you could make a case, Bob Diaco the

149
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: bottom fell out. Okay, I understand that one too, But

150
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: Brian ke Kelly was personal. Brian Kelly was obviously much

151
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 2: more in the public eye. He is your twenty seventeen

152
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 2: knot Coach of the Year, Dan.

153
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: And to sort of have that stink where not only

154
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: do you beat a team or lose to a team.

155
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: Excuse me, but after you lose to that team, they

156
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: in turn start losing. So the influence of Brian Kelly,

157
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: the influence that he wheels, is far greater than any

158
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: of these other nominees.

159
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly was nominated here, but Notre Dame is also

160
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: nominated later for Busts of the Year. They are also

161
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: nominated collectively for tire Fire of the Year in their

162
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 2: four and eight season, and then Notre Dame Stink is

163
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: also nominated for Capstone Award here podcast Meme of the Year,

164
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 2: La Lala.

165
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: Land of the twenty seventeen burbies. That's right, okay, Notre Dame.

166
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 2: Moving on, Let's get to our next category, Alternate Uniform

167
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: of the Year. Alright, Alternate Uniform of the Year is

168
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: a relatively new entrant in the Verby Awards. We've been

169
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: doing this, I guess about three or four years now.

170
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: I say that with full working knowledge that I'm not

171
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 2: sure how long we've done the verbis for, but it

172
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 2: feels like alternate uniform is a newer category. It was

173
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: suggested by a listener many moons ago, and now here

174
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 2: we are. What we're trying to do is call out

175
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: I say, the coolest alternate uniform of the year, because

176
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 2: every school is doing.

177
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: It now, right.

178
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: Do you feel at all like this is like a

179
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: cheap spin off of what Oregon's done with their uniform situation. Uh?

180
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: Not necessarily, because a lot of these are honoring throwback looks,

181
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: either in just like replicating the throwback or taking a

182
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: small chunk of what the university was involved in or

183
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: what's associated with the university and turning it into something.

184
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: We've seen this from the service. Academies do various takes

185
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: on you know, military imagery in very cool ways, in

186
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: some sort of weird ways, but there's nothing really too

187
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: futuristic I would say about this year's nominees, which I

188
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: think is Oregon's hallmark.

189
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 2: A lot of close voting in this year's Verbi Awards.

190
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 2: I'm looking just at this category because again the results

191
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 2: are individually wrapped here. I'm not privy to any of

192
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 2: these results before the show, but this one was relatively

193
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: close as well. Alternate Uniforms of the Year. Here are

194
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 2: the nominees. One the Army Red Devils uniforms, two the

195
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 2: Air Force Shark toothed uniforms. Three the Oregon quote unquote

196
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 2: mascot uniform What were the mascot uniforms?

197
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: So the mascot uniforms were for the Colorado game, I believe,

198
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: which they lost. Last second, the color scheme matched the

199
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: Ducks Dusk game. So the white helmet with the orange

200
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: masks for the Duck bill, the green and yellow the

201
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: same shade jersey, the white pants, and then orange socks

202
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: and orange shoes to match the Ducks leg and web feet,

203
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: and then finally pits yellow throwback uniforms. If I'm being

204
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: honest here, I feel like, what's the coolest? Right?

205
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, I feel like Oregon invented this category.

206
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 2: Therefore they are a requisite nominee every year they have

207
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 2: to be in this category. Beyond that, though, I think the.

208
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: Coolest was far and away the Air Force. The Air Force, look,

209
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: that was pretty damn cool with the shark teeth, the

210
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: big shark. Yeah, it looks like an old plane, like

211
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: the old paint plane, the shark toothplanes they were. They

212
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: had the paint job that reminded me of like the

213
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: old World War Two reports, like tell the boys over

214
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 1: a seas that they're gonna be receiving the number one

215
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: pack like that is just a wonderful thing to me.

216
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: But despite the pies men, I believe being one in

217
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: Pitt's throwback uniforms, which I like that touch, I still

218
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: think the mascot you dressing up as the mascot to

219
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: me as a Homer, as a biased person, I still

220
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: think the complete look is the best of these four.

221
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: I like all of these.

222
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 2: If I am grading them on a scale of one

223
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 2: through four, first being my favorite, fourth being my least favorite,

224
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 2: I would put Oregon fourth because I think the others

225
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 2: are cooler, But that doesn't mean it is not cool

226
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 2: in its own right. I liked it, just not as

227
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 2: much much as Shark Tooth.

228
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: Okay, the voice I was trying to do. By the way,

229
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: you know Kats is the deli here, Yeah, in New York.

230
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: So they have a poster up and it's send a

231
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: Salami to your boy in the Army, And that's what

232
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: the Shark reminds me of.

233
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 3: So I like it.

234
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 2: Daniel, dim the lights, Oh here I go. You're a

235
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 2: winner for twenty seventeen Alternate Uniform of the Year, the.

236
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: Air Force Shark Tooth uniforms.

237
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, congratulations to air Force.

238
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: I think it's appropriate and they did a great job

239
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: with its.

240
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 2: Thirty five point one percent of the vote went to

241
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 2: Air Force. Pits Yellow Throwbacks got twenty seven, Armies Red

242
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: Devils got twenty point two, and then Oregon did come

243
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: in fourth with seventeen percent, so relatively close vote. People

244
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 2: were not overwhelmingly in favor of one versus the others.

245
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: And a quiet ten win season for Air Force, so

246
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: the wins keep piling up for the Falcons. They finished

247
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: the season, they won their bowl game, they beat Boise State,

248
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: so they finished the air with six wins on the

249
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: field and a big win off it, Ty send a

250
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: salami to you boy in the Army. Moving on our next.

251
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 2: Award, Worst Year Back, Worst Year Back. What does this

252
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 2: award mean to you? That is the intrinsic question here.

253
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 2: It's meant a lot of different things to us since

254
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 2: we started awarding this, let's say three years ago. It

255
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 2: was originally because of what happened to Matt Barkley, because,

256
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 2: as you know, Matt Barkley had a baller junior year,

257
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 2: was a consensus top five pick, and then decided to

258
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 2: come back to college. It was pretty much all downhill

259
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 2: from there. Matt Barkley never materialized in the NFL. He

260
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 2: was a later pick in the NFL draft. He did

261
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 2: not cash in when his stock was the highest.

262
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: Worst.

263
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: You're back Matt Barkley senior year. But over time it's

264
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: come to mean different things. Originally it was supposed to

265
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 2: be a junior for going the draft to go for

266
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 2: a senior season, but then Christian.

267
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: Hackenberg came around.

268
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 2: Christian Hackenberg wasn't quite in that in that same situation, right.

269
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 2: It just it fell out from under him once James

270
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 2: Franklin got to town and then we incorporated him and

271
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: thought that he was fitting. This year, we've actually incorporated

272
00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 2: a coach into the field here. So what does does

273
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 2: this mean to you?

274
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 3: Dan?

275
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: I think you hit it on the head. I think

276
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: it's something that you know uncertainty whether a person, coach, player,

277
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: or whatever is going to come back. So maybe a

278
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: coach that flirts with the NFL or flirts with taking

279
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: another job and ultimately decides to remain at his school,

280
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: or a player flirting with the NFL draft and deciding

281
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: to come back for another season, something along those lines.

282
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: And I guess it can mean something else to anybody

283
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: who's voting the three nominees. I think it sort of

284
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: means different things. But I think I agree with two

285
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: of these three as for fitting in the category and

286
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: being a finalist. The other one I'm not sure about.

287
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: I'm excited, I can tell you.

288
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: And by the way, that's the way the voting went,

289
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 2: for what it's worth, and we'll get into that here.

290
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 2: But yes, the fringe candidate every year we've done this

291
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: has been Pat Fitzgerald. Every year we get a couple

292
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 2: suggestions for Pat Fitzgerald. I'm not saying I agree with it,

293
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 2: but I'm also not saying I fully disagree with it.

294
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 2: I understand if you're looking at the Pat Fitzgerald stock

295
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: report why you might think that Pat Fitzgerald could potentially

296
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 2: be a candidate for this. Not a strong enough candidate,

297
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: but he is the ultimate fringe candidate. The real candidates

298
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 2: are as follows. The aforementioned coach, Les Miles, formerly the

299
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: coach of UNSU, was unceremoniously fired at long last and

300
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 2: was sort of only got back as sort of a

301
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 2: last minute decision to keep him.

302
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: So he is back in the conventional sense of this award.

303
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 2: He was back, but just not for as long as

304
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 2: Josh Rosen sure or maybe he was Josh Rosen. He

305
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 2: only played half the season. Yeah if that, Yeah, I

306
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: kind of feel like it's unfair for Josh Rosen to

307
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 2: be in here.

308
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: He was hurt. That's a bad year back, though, tie,

309
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: it's a bad year back. Severe nerve damage to your

310
00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: shoulder is not great. Okay, that's fair. And then Christian

311
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: McCaffrey nicked up, was nicked up, was good while he

312
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: played poor quarterback play did not help him.

313
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 2: I feel like Christian McCaffrey had more on his shoulders

314
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 2: this season when he wasn't nicked up than he did

315
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 2: when Kevin Hogan was still quarterback, and that probably contributed

316
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 2: a little bit to reduced output.

317
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to cast my vote for less Miles because

318
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: the uncertainty of will I get fired or won't die

319
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: at the beginning of last year, after last season, after

320
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: the twenty fifteen season, compounded with turbulence early on in

321
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: the season losing your job and then interviewing for a

322
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: bunch of jobs or meeting with teams for a bunch

323
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: of new jobs, and everybody just sort of passing. So

324
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: there's some compound fracturing there for less Miles that I

325
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: don't think is the same for the others, because Christian

326
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: McCaffrey ultimately had a pretty good season and well, there's

327
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: a good chance he'll get drafted in the first round,

328
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: so ultimately not a terrible year. I voted for less

329
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: as well. I'm going less. Gim the lights. Here we go. Okay,

330
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: here we go.

331
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 2: Moment of truth, you're twenty seventeen worst year back, Josh Rosen. Wow,

332
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 2: bit of a stutter, I think.

333
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, going into the season, there was the hype.

334
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: There was they're going to a pro style offense with

335
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: Kennedy Palamalu. It's we're going to see an unleashed Josh

336
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: Rosen a sophomore. You can make a statement early against

337
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: Texas A and M. You know, they have all this

338
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 1: returning talent on defense to put them in good position

339
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: and just a huge bummer of an injury. It's not

340
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: a good year back, ty, it is not a good

341
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: year back.

342
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: Forty one point seven percent versus thirty nine point five

343
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 2: percent of the vote, These darn third party candidates and

344
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey stealing eighteen percent of the vote. I'd be

345
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 2: curious if we didn't have cemac in the category, how

346
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: this would have gone if it might have swung in

347
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 2: the favor of less Miles, but.

348
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: A last would you have added somebody else different?

349
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 2: I feel like these were the two strongest candidates that

350
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 2: we received when we initially threw it out there.

351
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: I mean, there was uncertainty about Charlie Strong after last year. Yeah,

352
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: we got to vote of confidence.

353
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, there are a number of names that you could

354
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 2: have thrown in there. I don't know if any of

355
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 2: them were particularly strong. I feel like less Miles was

356
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: the strongest.

357
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: Okay, that's reasonable. I want to say there was some

358
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: smoke around Lane Kiffin after last year, but again they

359
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: went undefeated during the regular season. Hart to say it

360
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: was a bad year back, but it ended unceremoniously.

361
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 2: Worst year back Josh Rosen so thus far not Coach

362
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 2: of the Year Brian Kelly thirty six point eight percent,

363
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 2: Alternate Uniform of the Year Air Force's Shark tooth Uniforms

364
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 2: thirty five point one and our worst year back Josh

365
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 2: Rosen forty one point seven percent of the vote. Will

366
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 2: that be the highest percentage of the vote. A lot

367
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 2: of close vote totals here, Dan, Let's move on. Let's

368
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 2: go to half team of the year Half Team of

369
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 2: the Year.

370
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: This is a Dan Rubinstein special here what is half

371
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: the end of the year? Half Team of the Year

372
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: is awarded to the team that puts forth the best

373
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: side of the ball that is paired with the worst

374
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: side of the ball. So a team that puts out

375
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 1: an unbelievable defense, and a couple of examples. A couple

376
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: of years ago, what inspired this was Missouri's defense was

377
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: just it was full of NFL players. They locked everybody down,

378
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: and their offense just couldn't even get a first down.

379
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: They were just atrocious. The defense kept putting the offense

380
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: in good position to take advantage of teams could not

381
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: do anything. We have Texas Tech defense, which I think

382
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: I believe they're a nominee this year, but even two

383
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: years ago that offense, oh excuse me. The offense is

384
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: the half team because of the excruciatingly disappointing defense. And

385
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: we had Boston College's defense a couple of years ago

386
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: under Don Brown has since moved on to Michigan. So

387
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: a number of teams put forth an unbelievable effort on

388
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: one side of the ball and are completely let down

389
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: by incompetence on the other. So we want to reward

390
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: those teams for those struggles that they're in very little

391
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: control of. Last year, it was a gripping speech by

392
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: our good friend Steve Dazio. Boston College's defense took the

393
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: cake last year. This year, I feel we've got a

394
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: really balanced cast of characters to choose from. Okay, I

395
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: will read these off in alphabetical order. Florida's defense, h yeah,

396
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: LSU's defense, absolutely, Pitt's offense, Texas Techs offense. Those year

397
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: four nominees. I think the weakest entrant here is LSU's defense,

398
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: not because elis U's defense is bad, but because, by

399
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: the end of the year, at least under at Orizron,

400
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,719
Speaker 1: I felt like the offense turned a corner. The two

401
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: headed running backs. The passing game wasn't there, but they

402
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: were putting up points. They were moving the ball, but

403
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: there were moments where games were lost because of an

404
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: inability to move the ball consistently. When you have that

405
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: level of NFL defense, elise Used offense should have been better.

406
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 2: I voted for Florida's defense. Florida's defense carried that football team,

407
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 2: and I think what swung my vote in their direction

408
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 2: was just the fact that the offense was so unexpectedly

409
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 2: bad for a second straight year under Jim mcawain. He's

410
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: an offensive minded guy. He would expect by now he'd

411
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 2: be able to assemble enough parts offensively to feel the

412
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 2: better offense. Not that I'm saying I expected them to

413
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 2: come out there and be pyrotechnic on the offensive side

414
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 2: of the ball.

415
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: I never did.

416
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 2: I just expected more, and the fact that the defense

417
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 2: had to carry them again, I just I felt like

418
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 2: they deserve something. They deserve something for that effort, and

419
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 2: if it's only a lowly verbie, then so be it.

420
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 2: But you gotta give them some props. That's why I

421
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 2: voted for them. I really feel for that Texas Tech offense.

422
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 2: They put up points and against the Big twelve, Texas

423
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 2: Tech allowed forty three points six points a game. Wow,

424
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 2: that's not good enough.

425
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: I I'm going to say this, it should be easier

426
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: for Florida, a team who has recently won multiple national

427
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: championships and has had a Heisman quarterback to field an

428
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: offense with the available talent that is in state. They

429
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,479
Speaker 1: should be able to put forth an offense that scores

430
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: thirty points a game to compliment that Florida should never

431
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: really win fewer than nine games a year, and had

432
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: they had an offense, they would have won at least

433
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: a couple more. So, I think the Florida pick is

434
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: the right pick. I think, Hey, I'm going there. Half

435
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: Team of the Year, dim theolights, it's good our drum

436
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: roll in here. Your winner twenty seventeen Half Team of

437
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: the Year is Texas Tech Offense. Hey, I see it,

438
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: I see it. Ty good for them, good f They

439
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: had an S and P plus defensive rating two years

440
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: ago of forty one point two. That's atrocious. Last year

441
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: they improved to forty and they remained the worst efficiency

442
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: defense in college football while having an NFL caliber quarterback

443
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: dropped like fifty points a game.

444
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 2: Thirty seven percent of the vote versus twenty five percent

445
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 2: of the vote for Florida. LSU comes in third with

446
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 2: about nineteen and Pick comes in fourth with about seventeen

447
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 2: percent of the vote. Here, I can't say I strongly

448
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 2: disagree with Tech Tech offense selection. In truth, they could

449
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 2: have won last year. They could have won an of

450
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 2: the last five years if we're being honest here. Yeah,

451
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 2: so Texas Tech Offense thirty seven percent congratulations Cliff Kingsbury,

452
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes actually nominated a little bit later

453
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 2: for Losing Effort of the Year, so potentially a really

454
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 2: big night here for the Texas Tech Red Raiders football program.

455
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: I think we should exclusively judge Texas Tech's twenty seventeen

456
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: season by if they are a nominee for this award

457
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: next year. If they're just not a nominee in either

458
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: direction for this award, the season was a huge success.

459
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: I don't even care if they go three and nine

460
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: without Patrick Mahomes, and if they are here next year,

461
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: I look forward to seeing how Lincoln Riley will change

462
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: things in twenty eighteen.

463
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 2: I was going to say, if they're here next year,

464
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: that means Cliff Kingsbury is a nominee for not Coach

465
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 2: of the Year, right, Absolutely. Moving on, Let's go to

466
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 2: another favorite.

467
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: Crime of the Year.

468
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 2: Very dramatic Dan Wow, Yeah, worked up Crime of the

469
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 2: Year man. Okay, We've had a bunch of odd, odd

470
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 2: candidates for this award in the past. We've had guys

471
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 2: going into three point stances and charging at the cops.

472
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 2: We've had, as we do this year, a guy shoplifting

473
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 2: on his Bowl trip to a Belk. Just a bunch

474
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 2: of weird stuff that's going on in and around the

475
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 2: college football ether since we started doing the verbies.

476
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: This is also a newer.

477
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 2: Award, but not to be overshadowed at all. One of

478
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 2: our favorites. Three really good candidates this year. I already

479
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 2: mentioned Jeremy Sprinkle shoplifting from Belk. He did that during

480
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 2: his Belk Bowl visit. Excuse me, he played for Arkansas.

481
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: I believe, if memory serves.

482
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: Belk is a department store for those in the dark,

483
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: A department store that's correct, Southern department store. Jeremy Sprinkle

484
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: a great middle name.

485
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 2: Crime of the year. Shoplifting from a Belk another one

486
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 2: that pops up here, and rightfully so. Whoever nominated this

487
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 2: was extremely creative, not taking crime literally, but somewhat creatively

488
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 2: in saying that Central Michigan's win over Oklahoma State on

489
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 2: that bizarre last second play yeah, should qualify as a crime.

490
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: And I agree Central Michigan's win over Oklahoma State very

491
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 2: much a crime because.

492
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: It shouldn't have been a win at all. Oklahoma State

493
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: got screwed. This is all true.

494
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 2: The big question for me, though, is whether or not

495
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 2: either of those two has what it takes to knock

496
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 2: off Wakey Leaks. Wakey Leaks is ty.

497
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: We live in turbulent times, we do fair to say

498
00:27:50,640 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: yes and throwing an item on here. Espionage assisting foreign enemies. Yeah,

499
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: this is You're scratching a lot of people right where

500
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: they itch dog wake elenx is is right there. I

501
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 1: don't know. I do not know how you find something

502
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: bigger than wake Leaks. Then you finding a radio analyst

503
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: helping out wake Forest, a wake Forest radio analyst helping

504
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: out wake Forest opponents during the season by slipping them

505
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: game plans xerox copies very Americans of wake Forests, or

506
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: at least a radio announcers. So I don't know how

507
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: wake e Leaks gets topped. I just don't.

508
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,760

513
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 2: Somebody would risk their career, and not only their current career,

514
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 2: but their future career to try and sell off wake

515
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 2: Forest game plans. Yep, I don't even know if he

516
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 2: tried to sell them off. He just tried to pawn

517
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 2: them off as some sort of revenge scheme.

518
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. And he actually found a couple takers. But

519
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,440

624
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 2: that all are very deserving of this award.

625
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: What qualifies as a bus tie?

626
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 2: I think what qualifies as a bus is coming in

627
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 2: with really high expectations and then totally underperforming those expectations,

628
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 2: plain and simple.

629
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: That's my definition. So we saw a team doing something

630
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: and they let us down, and thus we can call

631
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: them a name. That's right.

632
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 2: Your first nominee here is Notre Dame. Yeah, Notre Dame

633
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 2: went four and eight. If you don't know that Notre

634
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 2: Dame went to four and eight, you probably just found

635
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 2: out about college football, or haven't listened to the show,

636
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 2: or haven't been on Twitter or the internet in general,

637
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 2: Notre Dame going four and eight is one of the

638
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 2: longest running jokes in the college football world right now,

639
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, your first nominee. Number two is Oregon. Oregon

640
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 2: also went four and eight, but for some reason you

641
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 2: didn't get quite the.

642
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: Blowback that Notre Dame did. Dan, Why is that people

643
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 1: like or do they they do?

644
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 3: Yeah?

645
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah they do.

646
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 2: It's pretty fitting that both of our teams are on

647
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 2: this list, also very depressing.

648
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: It was not a fun fall for either one of us. Ty,

649
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: you got a new coach out of this.

650
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 2: That is true. I have no idea if he's going

651
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 2: to be good. Ore you went four and eight. They're

652
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 2: also on this list. Michigan State also on this list,

653
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 2: a very sound contender for this award.

654
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: Probably not as.

655
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 2: Flashy name as Notre Dame or Oregon, but certainly a

656
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 2: successful name.

657
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: Michigan State was in.

658
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 2: The College Football Playoff a year prior, fell off the

659
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 2: face of the earth and actually had a worse record

660
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 2: three to nine, but they.

661
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: Did beat noted. True they did, which means very little.

662
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: And then there's TCU. TCU went six and seven, lost

663
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: their bowl game, but I feel like TCU is deserving

664
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 1: of this spot on the list because many folks, including myself,

665
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: including Kirk Kurbstreet, a lot of college football talkers had

666
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: TCU as a dark horse playoff contender and they just

667
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,240
Speaker 1: never got out, never got it going, whether it was offense,

668
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: whether it was defense, just could never fire on both

669
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: cylinders and was kind of a mess for a good

670
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: chunk of the year. So TCU is deserving of this spot.

671
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: I would have given it to UCLA even with the

672
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: injury to Josh Rosen, TCU had a new quarterback, some change,

673
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: they still go. They're still in the vicinity of five hundred.

674
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: UCLA two and seven in the PAC twelve, four and

675
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: eight overall, another team at four and eight, and we'll

676
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: have a number of players on both sides of the

677
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: ball drafted either this year or next year. They had

678
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: an NFL caliber onlin NFL caliber, but a defense stocked

679
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: with NFL type talent last year and one that should

680
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: not have lost to a number of teams that are

681
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: far lesser. So UCLA I would say had a more

682
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: disappointing If I had a vote, I would have gone

683
00:38:59,600 --> 00:38:59,919
Speaker 1: that direction.

684
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 2: So here's the thing. We do have a vote. It's

685
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 2: our damn show mm hmm.

686
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: This is true.

687
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 2: Well, miss also can qualify. We can do whatever we

688
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 2: want here. So what I'm suggesting, I know you're writing

689
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 2: these down.

690
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: I know you live by these, these awards. We love

691
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: these awards every year.

692
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 2: What I'm suggesting is, let's take a good hard look

693
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 2: at all of these categories after the winners have been announced,

694
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 2: and then, in true La La land moonlight.

695
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: Fashion, let's just award new ones.

696
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 2: Let's go back and see if maybe we think another

697
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 2: candidate is more deserving. Does it have to be a

698
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 2: candidate on the list could be a UCLA coming out

699
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 2: of nowhere?

700
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 1: True, very much.

701
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 2: We reserve that right here as the founders of the

702
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 2: solid verbal. We did get some UCLA input here for

703
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 2: Busts of the Year, not as many as we did

704
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 2: for the other four. My interpretation there was because Josh

705
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 2: Rosen was hurt. If Joshsen totally totally reasonable. If he

706
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,320
Speaker 2: hadn't been hurt, UCLA would have been a much stronger

707
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 2: candidate here. But as it were, he was hurt. Perhaps

708
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 2: that contributed anyway. Notre Dame, Oregon, Michigan State and TCU

709
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 2: dim the lights here we go. Twenty seventeen Bust of

710
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 2: the year goes to.

711
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Oh, Notre Dame.

712
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, four and eight.

713
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: I would be happier about this award as a Notre

714
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: Dame fan than some other ones, because at least this

715
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: implies people held Notre Dame in high regard before the season. Yeah,

716
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 1: and then disappointed everybody whereas the other you know, not

717
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 1: coach the year stuff like that. That's just like you

718
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: are bad. Notre Dame is disappointing. Which if you've ever

719
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 1: come home past curfew, you're not mad, You're disappointed that

720
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: kind of thing. So I think this one's okay. I

721
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: think you can you can sleep well with.

722
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 2: This one sometimes, Dan, you got a laugh to keep

723
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 2: from crying. And when you go four and eight, this

724
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 2: is this is.

725
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 1: What you get. Mm hmm.

726
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,720
Speaker 2: I will accept this on behalf of the Notre Dame community. Okay,

727
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 2: here is the bigger question. What do you think the

728
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 2: spread was? We had four candidates here? What percent of

729
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 2: the vote did Notre Dame achieve here?

730
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: Forty seven percent? Forty seven percent on the nose? Wow?

731
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: Really is it?

732
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 3: Really?

733
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: You are correct sir? I did not see I am

734
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 1: telling you right now. I am looking at an unchecked

735
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: version of our ballots to see do you see three

736
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: of these cards here? I don't. I cannot like it's opaque.

737
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: I don't. I am not looking forty seven percent. What's

738
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: the net? Who was who came in second?

739
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 2: Michigan State came in second with forty three point seven percent.

740
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 2: So Notre Dame forty seven point four, Michigan State second

741
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 2: forty three point seven, Oregon only six point seven.

742
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: Percent of the vote. That surprises me a little bit. Yeah,

743
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: it's seek to me that if I were to award this,

744
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,240
Speaker 1: I think I would go with Michigan State. It seemed

745
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: like they had a higher ceiling. Like Notre Dame has

746
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: lost some dumb games. Oregon has lost some dumb games.

747
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: You know, they had the huge defensive struggles the year

748
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: before as well. TCU, you know, still in the vicinity

749
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: of five hundred. It makes sense to me Michigan State

750
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: going from the playoff to three wins. I feel like

751
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: that is the most precipitous decline that would have been

752
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: my vote Notre Dame.

753
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,959
Speaker 2: So if you count the Brian Kelly victory before, that's

754
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 2: two for Notreed.

755
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: He's gonna take one of those pictures in the green

756
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: room juggling his Verbie Awards like Alicia Keys does at

757
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: the Grammys. I like that we.

758
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 2: Still got Notre Dame stank. We still got Notre Dame's

759
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 2: four to eight seasons. So potentially a big night. Maybe

760
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 2: maybe as many wins on Verbie Night as there were

761
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,399
Speaker 2: the whole regular season. Gotta win at some point, Toy

762
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 2: get that w Moving on Losing Effort of the Year,

763
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 2: Losing effort of the year, one of our crowd favorites, Yeah,

764
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 2: one of our crowd favorites. Would you like to explain

765
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 2: the genesis of losing effort in?

766
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: Losing Effort of the Year originally came out when we

767
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: kept saying week after week Nick Foles had four hundred

768
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: and seventy two yards, five touchdowns, and one pick in

769
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: a losing effort because Arizona kept getting great performances from

770
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: former quarterback Nick Foles and kept wasting them. So we

771
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: found ourselves saying that so much that we created Nick

772
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,280
Speaker 1: Foles in a losing effort and then have subsequently awarded

773
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 1: quarterbacks or other players who have put up Gotti's statlines

774
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: and huge games without also accruing a win. So we

775
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: award the person who is able to. I know, like

776
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 1: Royce Freeman was nominated last year for his performance against

777
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: Washington States. So it's either a season long tribute or

778
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: a single game tribute to a great performance without the

779
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: w This year brought extraordinary circumstances. Oh, I like this.

780
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,919
Speaker 1: There was one candidate for a Losing Effort of the Year,

781
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: like a Lifetime Achievement award, in this case, one candidate

782
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: for Losing Effort of the Year. The way that we

783
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 1: go out there and solicit feedback on these awards, we

784
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: have a free response Google form and we tell our

785
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: fans to go out there and submit your submit your nominations.

786
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: There were a few others outside of Patrick Mahomes that

787
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: came in, but generally, what you're looking for, if I'm

788
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: being honest, you're looking for repeats, You're looking for trends.

789
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: You're looking for where the most momentum is among some

790
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: of this feedback. And though there might have been a

791
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: few stragglers here and there might have had a Deshaun

792
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: Kaiser right, I don't know why, but it might have

793
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: had it. Deshaun Kaiser might have had a few other

794
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 1: names here and there. Patrick Mahomes was overwhelmingly logan woodside

795
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: against BYU, we had a logan woodside shirt. Patrick Mahomes

796
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,879
Speaker 1: is far and away the most nominated for losing Effort

797
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: the year. It has to be.

798
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 2: And given the fact that Texas Tech was also in

799
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 2: on this for Half Team of the Year, I started

800
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 2: thinking to myself, perhaps Patrick Mahomes should be the only

801
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,800
Speaker 2: candidate here. You could make a case that Patrick Mahomes

802
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 2: could have been Half Team of the Year. Yeah, but

803
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes far and away was the only candidate that

804
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:27,280
Speaker 2: I felt worthy of putting in this category. So, Daniel

805
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 2: dim the Lights, your twenty seventeen Verbie Award winner for

806
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 2: Losing Effort of the Year, is you already know it's

807
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes, congratulations. Oh yeah, like you said,

808
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,280
Speaker 2: maybe more of a lifetime achievement award.

809
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 1: But one hundred percent of the vote. Isn't that what

810
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: they gave Jackie Chan this year? The oscars one hundred

811
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: percent of the vote or Losing Effort of the Year

812
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 1: just an honorary lifetime achievement just because Jackie Chan is

813
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: very much a Patrick Mahomes and ty Hildon Brandt type.

814
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,919
Speaker 1: So Patrick Mahomes, I have his stat lines in front

815
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: of me, and if you watch Patrick Mahomes at all,

816
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: you know he was one of the clear most entertaining

817
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 1: players of the twenty sixteen twenty fifteen season as a

818
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: dual threat quarterback for Texas Tech. Here's his touchdown to

819
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: interception ratio by game four to zero, five to two,

820
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: five to zero, four to one, two to one, one

821
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: to one, five to one, two to one, three to one,

822
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: three to zero, one to two, and then finally against

823
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 1: Baylor with fifty points and a win six to zero. Damn.

824
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: He threw four over five thousand yards, completed sixty five

825
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: percent of his passes, had a final touchdown interception ratio

826
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: of forty one to ten, had eight and a half

827
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 1: yards per attempt, and completed three hundred and eighty eight

828
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: of five hundred and ninety one. He threw the ball

829
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: nearly six hundred times in twelve games, Wow, which is absurd,

830
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 1: and did everything he could, made some ridiculous throws. If

831
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 1: you are going to look back at like the ten

832
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: best dimes of the year, the ten just other worldly

833
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 1: passes of the twenty sixteen seats, and he might have

834
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: three or four of them. He was that good and

835
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 1: unfortunately Texas Tech put together a half of a team,

836
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 1: like we've already mentioned. So Patrick Mahomes, we salute you

837
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: for your efforts, even if they were in losing situations.

838
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes was eighty percent of that half team, I'd say, yeah,

839
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,879
Speaker 2: if not more a worthy candidate if we've ever had

840
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 2: one for a losing effort of the year one of

841
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,479
Speaker 2: the vote. Perhaps a little engineering to get him there,

842
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 2: but alas, congratulations Patrick Mahomes. Congratulations in Texas Tech now

843
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 2: tied equally with Notre Dame for most successful night here.

844
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: So Kingsberry's with the Alicia Keys, juggling the verbies in

845
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: his arms on the red carpet in the green room.

846
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: I like that. Moving on, let's get to another crowd

847
00:47:53,560 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: favorite name of the year. Name of the Year. Wow,

848
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 1: this one's pretty impossible.

849
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 2: This is a thankless and impossible list of candidates to

850
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 2: pull together every year. Every year you get a ton

851
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 2: of suggestions for name of the year. My hunch is

852
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 2: that I know where this one is headed, but I

853
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 2: have not looked at it yet. And the other cool

854
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 2: thing about this category is that a lot of times

855
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 2: you can see him coming, you know, like a year

856
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 2: in advance.

857
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: Who's going to be who's going to be in You

858
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 1: see him coming up through the recruiting world. Absolutely absolutely so.

859
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 2: Like for example, Kobe Buffalo Meat is the name of

860
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,320
Speaker 2: a recruit for what was it, Illinois State.

861
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, he ended up at Illinois State. There was also

862
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: a good Kansas player.

863
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kobe Buffalo Meat is a real player's name. I

864
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 2: believe going to Illinois State. Maybe he's from the state

865
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 2: of Cams and he's going Illinois State. I think that's

866
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 2: what it is. Yeah, he is going to be in

867
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 2: this category next year. But seeing as how he was

868
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 2: just a recruit, how he didn't actually play, he can't.

869
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 2: He can't qualify for Name of the Year this year.

870
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 2: Here are the nominees. Got five good ones from BYU.

871
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 2: We've got Squally Canada real name, Squally Canada. Love it

872
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 2: from Michigan Taco Charlton.

873

Speaker 1: second round pick. Man Berg man.

875
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:39,239

00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 2: R G, two syllables. A lot of punch there.

877
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 1: That's so if if you're gonna call your genitals the

878
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: sexy Titanic, that you know what they're crashing into ty,

Speaker 2: of course we do real name lion king. And then

882
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,760
Speaker 2: we've also got another Notre Dame nominee, which I forgot

883
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 2: to mention. Actually five chances here to get another.

884
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 1: Bite at the apple. Mm hmm.

885
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 2: Equanimius Saint Brown EQ big tall, speedy, wide receiver, Notre

886
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 2: Dame number one threat this past year strikes me as

887
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 2: a Taco Charlton type in that he could be a

888
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 2: multiple time nominee for this award movie. Okay, has at

889
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,960

Speaker 1: be the most pleasing for you to say out loud

Speaker 1: anybody voting, that's where their brain should go. What do

896

00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: go against Lion King. Close voting, five way voting. Manberg

906
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: came in last, Dan, that's unbelievable to me, five point

907

913
00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 1: a nominee next year. I mean he played for the

914
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:03,839
Speaker 1: World or in the twenty sixteen but Eddie McDoom hard

915
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 1: to discount. But Taco Charlton certainly the better of the

916
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: two Michigan names. Did you, by the way, see the

917
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 1: twenty seven team Name of the Year bracket? I did.

920
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 1: one seed. He's a one seed. Marmaduke Treblecock is a

921
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: one seed. Quindarius Monday's a one seed. Chardonnay Pantastico is

922
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 1: a one seed. But alpha McMath alpha McMath alpha McMath

923
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: and tuts Honey Church with a nearly impossible I mean

924
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 1: they'd meet in the second round of that. There are

925
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:43,280

Speaker 2: You can read up on this. Yes, we've actually talked

936
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 2: to these guys. At some point, we should have more

937
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 2: to talk about what's going on in college football.

938
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: But Dallas Creamer, we've got Taco b m Monster mm hmm.

939
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: Oh In Alzheimer, Leo, Moses sporn Star, yep, Seamus beagle Hole.

940
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:34,800
Speaker 1: My favorite in twenty fifteen was Amanda Miranda Panda, and

941
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: then last year it was Pope McCorkle the third. Let

942
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: me tell you who's a seventh seed in the Boltron

943
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:46,839
Speaker 1: region this year, ty h King Buttermore the third. By

944
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:48,919
Speaker 1: the way, and this is going, I mean just further

945
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 1: veering off topic, but did you see somebody posted the

946
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 1: made up names that were in some nes video game

947
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 1: of I don't know if it was Bases Loaded. It

948
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:02,399
Speaker 1: was one of those old baseball games that didn't have

949
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 1: the licensing rights to MLB player names. So some poor

950
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: Japanese guy or gal was forced to think about what

951
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: would a ton of made up American names be for

952
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: a baseball game? And it makes no sense and it's wonderful.

953
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:22,319
Speaker 1: It is extraordinary, and I suggest you look it up

954
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 1: because it's it's American names that are just slightly off.

955
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:30,839
Speaker 1: So instead of like Johnson, it's like Dwight Monson. It's

956
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: just it's at the same time very considerate and very lazy,

957
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 1: which is a standard we hold ourselves to.

958
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:42,359
Speaker 2: Great congratulations to Lion King m hmm. Absolutely moving on

959
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 2: three more to go. Here is one to me, Dan

960
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 2: that is of personal significance. Here random fact to it

961
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 2: that malely interests Tom Hammond of the year. Random factoid

962
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 2: that malely interest Tom Hammond of the year. So here

963
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 2: is Here is how this award started. I've always had

964
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 2: this beef with Tom Hammond.

965
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:05,840
Speaker 1: Mister GPA.

966
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 2: As a Notre Dame fan, I was accustomed to him

967
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:12,319
Speaker 2: calling games on NBC for Notre Dame. He would pull

968
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 2: this stunt where it'd be a critical game situation, fourth quarter,

969
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 2: third quarter, could be any quarter, but a critical game situation,

970
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 2: and he would always take that opportunity, at least once

971
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 2: a game to introduce the most random factoid that had

972
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,720
Speaker 2: nothing to do with anything. Oftentimes it was a GPA

973
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:37,359
Speaker 2: or someone's college roommate or someone's major, just something that

974
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 2: didn't fit with the scenario, and it always bothered me.

975
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,319
Speaker 1: It always bothered me. Well, it's a baseball broadcaster, move right.

976
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 1: They're the ones that are putting in so much time

977
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:49,440
Speaker 1: because they have so much air to phil something between

978
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: two to two the count looking at first, but like

979
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 1: there's just so little to say as it relates to

980
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 1: a baseball game that announcers are oftentimes, and I believe

981
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 1: Tom Hammond does multiple sports. It's just track. There's all

982
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 1: sorts of Olympics stuff for horse racing, yep. That it's

983
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 1: natural for them to try to insert context and character

984
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,479
Speaker 1: and color into their broadcast. But football moves a little

985
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:14,400
Speaker 1: bit quicker, and there are heightened moments of drama where

986
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: perhaps you shouldn't know who Colt McCoy's roommate is, or

987
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:22,399
Speaker 1: you shouldn't know exactly how tall brock Osweiler is at

988
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 1: all times of a game.

989
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 2: Yes, I would describe it as Vince Scully minus all

990
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 2: of the charm. Yeah. Vin Scully does it perfectly exactly.

991
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 2: So here we are random fact with that mainly interests

992
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 2: Tom Hammon. We've got three great candidates here. The first

993
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:41,240
Speaker 2: one I forgot about, and as a Penn State alum,

994
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 2: I probably should have been.

995
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: All over this, but this was a.

996
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:48,439
Speaker 2: Popular submission on our form. Did you know that Trace

997
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,280
Speaker 2: McSorley played in four state championship games in high school?

998
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be very honest with you, ty, I did

999
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 1: not know that played in four state championship games.

1000
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 2: It was a popular talking point during many a Penn

1001
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 2: State football games, the announcers would bring this up all this,

1002
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 2: especially once Penn State went on its run after they

1003
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:10,359
Speaker 2: lost to Michigan and then got it together and ripped

1004
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 2: off a bunch of wins in a row. This was

1005
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 2: a popular talking point. This kid's a winner. Did you

1006
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 2: know he played in four state championship games in high school?

1007
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: That sort of thing. Uh, yeah, most of my pen's

1008
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 1: stay watching was on a muted TV fair ne I

1009
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 1: apologies not to volume TV, I understand. Yeah.

1010
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, second candidate, here is Jim Harbaugh drinking milk with

1011
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 2: his steak.

1012
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just milk in general. The love he has

1013
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 1: a sponsorship, a milk sponsorship now right, a milk sponsorship,

1014
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: I believe. Yeah, he went into overdrive. Yeah, I'm not

1015
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: sure how I feel about this one. I'm a little

1016
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh out. It's not really a factoid anymore because

1017
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: they've all been hit over the head with it, even

1018
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 1: outside of games.

1019
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 2: Also, I questioned a little bit whether or not this

1020
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 2: qualifies because this whole thing started by him tweeting out

1021
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 2: a picture or a picture of him circulating after he

1022
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 2: went to the steakhouse and had milk with the steak. Right,

1023
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 2: It wasn't like an announcer dug this up and then

1024
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 2: inserted it into a broadcast. It just kind of inserted

1025
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 2: itself onto the internet.

1026
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: Not a good year. As for people's steak preferences, notable

1027
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 1: people's steak preference is becoming public, including I mean, I'm

1028
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 1: not notable, but my disdain of steakhouses.

1029
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 2: Finally, Sam Darnold, did you know had a grandfather by

1030
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 2: the name of dick Hammer.

1031
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 1: Dick Hammer was the Marlborough man Dan. Yeah, dick Hammer

1032
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: best friends with Mannberg. This is a tough one to beat. Yeah,

1033
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 1: I think see. I think the Sam Darnold factoid best

1034
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 1: fits under the random factoid that may only interest Tom

1035
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 1: Hammond of the year because it's the most random trace.

1036
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: McSorley playing in championship games makes sense. He's a good quarterback.

1037
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh drinking milk with his steak makes sense because

1038
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:59,919
Speaker 1: he's certifiably out of his mind and will do dumb

1039
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 1: things like that because milk is also bad. So Sam

1040
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 1: Donald's grandfather being a famous in a certain way individual

1041
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 1: I think fits the award is the spirit of the

1042
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 1: award more than the other two. In the lights here

1043
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:17,560
Speaker 1: we got drum roll please random.

1044
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 2: Fact with him Ali Interest, Tom Hammond of the Year

1045
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen seventeen.

1046
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 3: Sam Donald, Yeah, yeah, Sam Donald.

1047
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 2: His grandfather Dick Hammer aka the Marlborough Man, achieved sixty

1048
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 2: three point two percent of the vote. Dan Wow sixty

1049
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:41,919
Speaker 2: three point two percent, followed a distant second by Jim

1050
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 2: Harbaugh drinking milk with his steake twenty nine point nine

1051
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 2: percent and Trace McSorley bringing up the rear six point

1052
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 2: nine percent.

1053
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. Not a lot of people dig in the Trace

1054
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: mcsory thing. But Sam Donald's, if you've paid any attention,

1055
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 1: is the is a surefire Hall of Famer. That's what

1056
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 1: I've learned. That's in the off season. I'm already saying

1057
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 1: the tweets that like NFL Scouts are already saying, so

1058
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 1: he's the new Josh Rosen, new Josh Rosen. We must

1059
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 1: move quickly. Two more.

1060
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 2: Here we go, big ones. We got big ones left here.

1061
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 2: Danv on.

1062
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 1: Tire Fire of the Year. Very sad music there. Yeah,

1063
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:29,440
Speaker 1: how does what is a tire fire to you? Ty?

1064
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 1: Because your name is already right there in the award.

1065
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: It's right there in the award tire Fire.

1066
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 2: We also have a bust of the Year award. We

1067
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:41,919
Speaker 2: also have a worst year back. We've got some other

1068
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 2: things that kind of beat around the bush. But tire

1069
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 2: Fire of the Year it's more situational.

1070
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 1: I'd say it's.

1071
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 2: More situational and to me, like last year, the classic

1072
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 2: example was LSU's botched firing of Less Miles, very situational,

1073
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 2: very public, and just poorly organized. Something you would define

1074
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 2: as a mess, but more of a mess, something more

1075
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 2: emphatic than just being a mess. Oh, how about a

1076
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 2: giant warming perhaps burning pile of rubber tires. Yes, we've

1077
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 2: got five awesome candidates here. I'm not sure how I

1078
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 2: feel about two of them.

1079
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:34,160
Speaker 1: I feel that there's some overlap with at least one

1080
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 1: to three of them agreed, agreed, But this is what

1081
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 1: we got. But this is sort of like at the

1082
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 1: same time the Grammys give out, and I know there's

1083
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 1: a difference, Like it's like Song of the Year and

1084
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 1: Album of the Year, and one of them is for

1085
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 1: the performer and one of them is for the writer

1086
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 1: of the song, I believe, So there is like a

1087
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 1: slight difference. So Bust of the Year is, you know,

1088
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 1: for expectations. Tire Fire of the Year is for say,

1089
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 1: just can assistent awful presence in the college football universe,

1090
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 1: which again, that's the standard. We hold ourselves to, a

1091
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 1: consistent awful presence in the college football universe.

1092
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,200
Speaker 2: Very much, So, yes, thank you. We've got three candidates

1093
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 2: here that deal with a really bad situation throughout the

1094
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:19,680
Speaker 2: course of a football season, and then we've got two

1095
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 2: that deal with something that's more targeted, a little bit

1096
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 2: more focused. So the three seasonal nominees here are Notre

1097
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 2: Dame's four to eight season. Okay, obviously a worthy contender. Again,

1098
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:35,520
Speaker 2: what does tire fire mean to you? A bit subjective.

1099
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 2: We've also got Florida's offense and Texas Tech defense pretty

1100
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 2: much a direct spinoff from what we saw in half

1101
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 2: Team of the Year a little earlier on in the show.

1102
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 2: So Notre Dame going four to eight, Florida's offense, Texas

1103
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:53,920
Speaker 2: Tech defense. The two situational plays are the Big twelve

1104
01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 2: expansion plans. Oh and the playoff semi final blowouts.

1105
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 1: Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1106
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 2: I don't know which of those two I would pick,

1107
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,120
Speaker 2: but those are my top two for me. It is

1108
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 2: more situational.

1109
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 1: I would go with the playoff blowouts just because of

1110
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 1: the expectations for high quality football given that these were

1111
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 1: arguably at the moment, considered to be the best four

1112
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 1: teams in the country. Notre Dame's four and eighth season

1113
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 1: was fun and I think sort of lifted the spirits

1114
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:33,000
Speaker 1: of America during a time that it needed it. But ultimately,

1115
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: I don't think a ton of people watch Notre Dame

1116
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 1: games by the end of the year, so I don't

1117
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:41,480
Speaker 1: think it had the same notoriety as playoff semi funnel bloats.

1118
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 1: And I would also add selfishly happily that tire fire

1119
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:50,440
Speaker 1: of the year and worst year back omitting Brady Hoaks

1120
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen Oregon defense is woh, just wiping my brow.

1121
01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 2: We did get we did get a few Brady Hoaks

1122
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 2: in there. Okay, good, Yeah, not enough steam on Brady

1123
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 2: hok okay, I understand that to put him into either category,

1124
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 2: so he got off Scott Free. I would have enjoyed

1125
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:12,240
Speaker 2: talking about that. But absolutely, here we go. We've got

1126
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 2: Notre Dame going four to eight, Florida's offense, Texas Techs

1127
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 2: defense playoff semi final blowouts in Big twelve expansion plans.

1128
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 2: One of the rare categories, along with name of the

1129
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:28,360
Speaker 2: Year to actually have five nominees for the award.

1130
01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:30,000
Speaker 1: Dim the Lights.

1131
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:37,640
Speaker 2: Tire Fire of the Year twenty seventeen. Big twelve expansion

1132
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 2: plans damn wow.

1133
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean that really screwed over a lot of

1134
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 1: people that had put together pitches, put together plans, really

1135
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 1: thought of themselves as moving up in the world. Only

1136
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 1: not only does it disappoint people for not getting into

1137
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 1: the Big twelve, into a new, big, better richer situation,

1138
01:04:58,200 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 1: but nobody got in.

1139
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 2: Big twelve expansion plans fade a bit into the background

1140
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 2: because it happened before the season, but it should not

1141
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:12,640
Speaker 2: be overlooked. Playoff semi final blowouts was absolutely a tire fire,

1142
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 2: definitely qualifies. I don't think it was as big a

1143
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 2: tire fire in hindsight as Big twelve expansion plans, because

1144
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:24,160
Speaker 2: anytime you start talking expansion in college football, it attracts attention.

1145
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 2: Remember when we had expansion Mageddon a couple of years ago.

1146
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:32,160
Speaker 2: Is the Pac twelve going to consume the Big twelve?

1147
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:33,960
Speaker 2: What's going to happen in Notre Dame, in the Big

1148
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 2: Ten in the ACC Just a giant tirefire in its

1149
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 2: own right. Anytime you start talking about expansion, and then

1150
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 2: things started leaking out about these little PowerPoint slide decks

1151
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 2: that like Cincinnati and Houston and some other schools Boise

1152
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 2: State were trying to submit to the Big twelve to

1153
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 2: try and be considered. Then there was some talk that

1154
01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:58,919
Speaker 2: they were going to take a couple teams, then there

1155
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:00,840
Speaker 2: was not, Then there was the vote, and then all

1156
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 2: of a sudden, the whole thing was off on the

1157
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 2: back burner until further notice, maybe never again. Definitely not

1158
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 2: handled uniformly from a PR standpoint, and it was very

1159
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,080
Speaker 2: confusing from the outside in trying to follow these things.

1160
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 2: Refreshing Twitter, What's Brett McMurphy, What did Bruce Felman have

1161
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:21,680
Speaker 2: to say about this? It was confusing there for a while.

1162
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:26,680
Speaker 2: But a last no expansion and uh, entire fire of

1163
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:26,920
Speaker 2: the year?

1164
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:30,919
Speaker 1: Gradually What was the name of the pill brand that

1165
01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:36,240
Speaker 1: Jimmy Johnson was a spokesperson for those yet? Yeah, to

1166
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 1: grow You're junk right, extends, so a promise of growth, bigger, better,

1167
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:48,880
Speaker 1: a more robust situation into the year. Yeah, And ultimately

1168
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 1: you're like, I don't know if this is the best decision.

1169
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is good for everybody involved.

1170
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 1: So this is all to say we are going to

1171
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:01,360
Speaker 1: try to get an extend sponsorship for for entire Fire

1172
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 1: of the Year twenty eight.

1173
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 2: That's an extremely mixed metaphor, but I love it. Thank yeah,

1174
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 2: thank you for providing that.

1175
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 1: Dan, no problem. That's why I'm here.

1176
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 2: We've got one final award. It is the Big Tamali,

1177
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 2: one of our favorites. It's everyone's favorite. Let's do it.

1178
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:25,840
Speaker 1: Meme of the year here it is Meme of the Year.

1179
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 1: Do you do you know a lot of youths. I

1180
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:33,480
Speaker 1: do youth Okah, because our office is a pretty young

1181
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:35,919
Speaker 1: one and we keep hiring younger and younger people. And

1182
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 1: the young people tie, they love their memes. Yeah. We've

1183
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 1: got actually a Notre Dame alumnus we'll try to have

1184
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:44,200
Speaker 1: on the show. Perhaps we want to we want to

1185
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:47,440
Speaker 1: offer some some more positive Notre Dame presence to the

1186
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 1: solid verbal she is. When she started, She's like, I'm

1187
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:53,360
Speaker 1: here for the memes. Okay, I'm here for the memes.

1188
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 1: She works on our social media team. She's here for

1189
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:58,800
Speaker 1: the memes. So yeah, understandable. So memes an inside joke.

1190
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:00,760
Speaker 1: M h, it's inside joke.

1191
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 2: And as trusted listeners and friends and verballers. As you're known,

1192
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 2: you're kind of privy to some of our humor. Not

1193
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:12,520
Speaker 2: all of it's funny, most of it isn't, but it

1194
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:17,360
Speaker 2: is uniquely solid verbal. It's ours, it's our babies and

1195
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:21,479
Speaker 2: what we try to do every year. Inevitably, these things

1196
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:24,200
Speaker 2: just happen. We're not often trying to come up with something,

1197
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 2: kind of like the talking to your kids about Iowa

1198
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 2: stunt a year ago.

1199
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,360
Speaker 1: They just sort of happened. They just sort of.

1200
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 2: Happen organically, and then we run with them. We think

1201
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:35,120
Speaker 2: they're funny, other people do, and they take on a

1202
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:39,040
Speaker 2: life of their own. This year we had four four

1203
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:42,479
Speaker 2: that stuck out and one that I'm going to throw

1204
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 2: in as potentially a dark horse here. I don't think

1205
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:49,920
Speaker 2: it's got enough run. But the Secret Garbage episode from

1206
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:50,920
Speaker 2: a week ago Dan.

1207
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 1: Is going to get a feedback. It's going to go

1208
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:55,839
Speaker 1: down in history.

1209
01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 2: That Avatar versus ketchup battle might not have been the

1210
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:01,960
Speaker 2: thriller in Manila, and there may or may not have

1211
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:07,559
Speaker 2: been a bullying component, depending on which perspective you're coming from.

1212
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:10,519
Speaker 2: I have never seen such feedback to a show like

1213
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:14,759
Speaker 2: what we saw after our volunteers, good sign Avatar versus

1214
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:18,519
Speaker 2: Ketchup rivalry. Yeah, we're gonna have to bring back Avatar

1215
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 2: and Ketchup and secret garbage just in general. Absolutely, that

1216
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:25,960
Speaker 2: would be a new thing that was great. Here were

1217
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 2: the actual nominees, So secret garbage could be something we

1218
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:31,839
Speaker 2: throw in here if we're not satisfied with the quality

1219
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:33,599
Speaker 2: of the other the other right, it.

1220
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 1: Wasn't an in season thing, so I think we can

1221
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 1: go with these four. I think we've got four good options.

1222
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:42,719
Speaker 2: The first is the ongoing mystery of the Notre Dame stink.

1223
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:46,680
Speaker 2: You came up with Notre Dame stank? Dan, What is

1224
01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:47,559
Speaker 2: Notre Dame stank?

1225
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:51,479
Speaker 1: Again? Just refresh our listeners. It's sort of like the

1226
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:54,559
Speaker 1: movie What is the movie where you watched the tape

1227
01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 1: and then you get killed? Is that final ring?

1228
01:09:59,080 --> 01:09:59,240
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1229
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:04,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. If you beat Notre Dame, you sort of you

1230
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:07,559
Speaker 1: inhabit something. You get a disease, you get a virus.

1231
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 1: Notre Dame inflicts you with the virus, and you just

1232
01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:13,640
Speaker 1: start losing like crazy after you beat Notre Dame. That

1233
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:16,880
Speaker 1: was just a thing this year. Everybody that beat Notre Dame,

1234
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:19,920
Speaker 1: with maybe the exception of USC because they did win

1235
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:21,120
Speaker 1: the Rose Ball at the end of the year, but

1236
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:23,000
Speaker 1: early on in the middle of the season, teams that

1237
01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:26,400
Speaker 1: beat Notre Dame went on to have some troubles and

1238
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:29,920
Speaker 1: so that sort of started. Like Texas and Michigan State

1239
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:33,160
Speaker 1: notably had very disappointing seasons right after they got that

1240
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:34,720
Speaker 1: Notre Dame stank on them.

1241
01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:38,880
Speaker 2: Michigan State, Texas. Yeah, the list goes on. Lord knows

1242
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:43,840
Speaker 2: eight choices there that you can discuss. We also have

1243
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:48,960
Speaker 2: the Adam Amean secret verbal. The adam of means secret verbal.

1244
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:51,240
Speaker 2: We did this thing where as you know, we've got

1245
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:53,559
Speaker 2: a secret verbal. You listen to a long enough show.

1246
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:56,120
Speaker 2: Sometimes we'll give you a code where go out there

1247
01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:57,559
Speaker 2: and tweet it at a friend of ours or a

1248
01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 2: new friend of ours and tell him that we sent you.

1249
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:05,599
Speaker 2: But just tweet adam I means something about milk shakes.

1250
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:08,880
Speaker 2: That's what we did. It got back to Adam Amean.

1251
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:12,599
Speaker 2: He was all about it. Came on the show with

1252
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 2: you to shake it up a little bit, talk about

1253
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:18,719
Speaker 2: milk shakes. No college football, just milkshakes. But Adam Amean,

1254
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 2: our new best friend, called a video game with us

1255
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:24,800
Speaker 2: while we were down in Tampa. Did a long show

1256
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:26,679
Speaker 2: telling us all about what it's like to call games

1257
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 2: with Mac Brown and YadA YadA YadA, had a great

1258
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:32,280
Speaker 2: conversation with him. He is a good dude. The Adam

1259
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:34,280
Speaker 2: I mean secret verbal was one of my favorite moments

1260
01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 2: from the past year.

1261
01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:37,439
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Adam I mean and I would say, Adam,

1262
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:40,080
Speaker 1: I mean friendship. Yeah. It's a great guy. And he

1263
01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:42,280
Speaker 1: was the play by play when Mac Brown just left

1264
01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 1: the booth right because he had to catch a flight.

1265
01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:46,160
Speaker 1: So that's how we first became familiar.

1266
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 2: We've also got krock potting on here, Dan krockpotting becoming

1267
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:50,599
Speaker 2: a verb.

1268
01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:54,839
Speaker 1: So rockpotting is you? Please explain?

1269
01:11:55,120 --> 01:12:00,360
Speaker 2: This was a multi part effort from you and I.

1270
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 2: I mentioned I went back and checked the tapes I

1271
01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:06,240
Speaker 2: mentioned very early on in our first preview show when

1272
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 2: we were talking about Alabama USC. I mentioned the phenomenon

1273
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:14,719
Speaker 2: of Alabama beating a team as if they were cooking

1274
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:18,200
Speaker 2: something in a crockpot. Throw them in there for four hours,

1275
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:22,400
Speaker 2: turn it on low. See a bubble here, little bit

1276
01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 2: of movement in the sauce there, you pop it out

1277
01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:26,920
Speaker 2: four hours later, It's done. You didn't even know it.

1278
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:30,880
Speaker 2: That whole thing is kind of like putting something in

1279
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:33,680
Speaker 2: a crockpot. You took it and ran with it and said, oh,

1280
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:39,320
Speaker 2: we'll just call it a crockpotting, crockpotting, crockpotting, crockpotting. Crockpotting

1281
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:41,360
Speaker 2: became a thing, became a verb here.

1282
01:12:41,479 --> 01:12:42,439
Speaker 1: It's what Obama did.

1283
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:44,800
Speaker 2: People were tweeting about it, people were calling in on

1284
01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 2: the reverb blind about it. It very much was what

1285
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:50,360
Speaker 2: Alabama did, and it very much became a thing. Crockpotting

1286
01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:55,479
Speaker 2: very strong contender here. And then finally, I hate that

1287
01:12:55,520 --> 01:13:01,679
Speaker 2: this is on there, but I understand why. My inability,

1288
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:05,439
Speaker 2: fittingly because we are sponsored by Blue Apron here, my

1289
01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:08,519
Speaker 2: inability to pronounce Blue Apron menu item down fairness, I

1290
01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:11,679
Speaker 2: got better. I think I got better at this you did.

1291
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:14,519
Speaker 2: I may not be as cultured as you when it

1292
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 2: comes to food. I'm okay with that. I am proud

1293
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:21,479
Speaker 2: of that. I'm a total fraud continue, but yes, my

1294
01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:26,000
Speaker 2: inability to pronounce Blue Apron menu items was something that

1295
01:13:26,040 --> 01:13:29,759
Speaker 2: gave people a disproportionate amount of joy. So I'm happy

1296
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 2: in that in that sense. Then to keep this, keep

1297
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:37,360
Speaker 2: this anomaly on our list of contenders.

1298
01:13:36,920 --> 01:13:39,120
Speaker 1: I will. I will promise you this right now, ty

1299
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:41,960
Speaker 1: as It relates to that if at any point I

1300
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:46,479
Speaker 1: come into a considerable amount of money, I will take

1301
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:51,920
Speaker 1: you to like Pouquet, I will take you to Bangkok,

1302
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:54,559
Speaker 1: I will take you maybe Hong Kong, and I will

1303
01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 1: document how you order every single meal that you get,

1304
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:01,519
Speaker 1: because I just I want to live that life. And

1305
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 1: the solid fiance is definitely allergic to seafood, So I

1306
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:06,560
Speaker 1: don't know what I'll be able to go to Bangkok.

1307
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:09,000
Speaker 1: So if I come into a bunch of money, We're

1308
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:11,559
Speaker 1: going on a tie vacation, a tie eating vacation. So

1309
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:16,120
Speaker 1: there you go. There are your four maybe five nominees.

1310
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:22,439
Speaker 1: Dan dim the Lights Dimmed Podcast Meme of the Year.

1311
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:32,600
Speaker 1: Here for the memes for twenty seventeen. Crock Potting. Crock Potting. Yeah,

1312
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:34,559
Speaker 1: I think I actually just got a new crock pot.

1313
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:40,400
Speaker 1: It was in the registry. Yeah, so very appropriate. Yeah. Absolutely.

1314
01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:44,080
Speaker 1: To watch an Alabama game was not unlike watching a

1315
01:14:44,120 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 1: piece of tenderloin or whatever it is that you know,

1316
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:52,679
Speaker 1: a chicken you make pulled chicken in there, yeah, ty yeah, yeah,

1317
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:55,840
Speaker 1: I've done that with beef. It was it was a

1318
01:14:55,880 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 1: special year to watch Alabama win like twenty seven into

1319
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:03,640
Speaker 1: seven games, that's all it was that happened slowly, but

1320
01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:10,280
Speaker 1: ultimately there was tenderization. The secret sauce, if you will,

1321
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 1: to a successful meme within our little universe is when

1322
01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:19,120
Speaker 1: you see it being used outside the universe, when you

1323
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:23,400
Speaker 1: see people tweeting it at actual college football experts, when

1324
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:26,960
Speaker 1: you see Kirk Kurvestreet getting tweets about crockpotting, when you

1325
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:31,639
Speaker 1: see it being used in print form or being tweeted

1326
01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:34,400
Speaker 1: out by other experts, borrowing it, using it for their

1327
01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 1: for their own that's fine, we don't care. But when

1328
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:39,920
Speaker 1: you see it kind of take that next step, that's

1329
01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:41,880
Speaker 1: when you know that it should be on this list.

1330
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:44,280
Speaker 1: And Crockpotting, of all the ones that we got on

1331
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:47,120
Speaker 1: here a side of the secret verbal, which is sort

1332
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:50,760
Speaker 1: of a setup, crock Potting becoming a thing was absolutely

1333
01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:54,200
Speaker 1: something that took that next step. Yes, Notre Dame very

1334
01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:56,840
Speaker 1: important secret verbal to a lesser degree, but crock Potting

1335
01:15:57,479 --> 01:16:00,320
Speaker 1: far and away my favorite thing that we can up

1336
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:01,120
Speaker 1: with this past year.

1337
01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:05,559
Speaker 2: Totally organic. Wasn't planned. None of this stuff was, but

1338
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:09,280
Speaker 2: that certainly wasn't. Just feels right to me, A good

1339
01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:10,120
Speaker 2: way to go out.

1340
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:14,679
Speaker 1: Here, and Notre Dame wins somewhere between four and eight

1341
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:18,320
Speaker 1: of these awards. Yeah, thank you. What's the final count, Yeah,

1342
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:19,679
Speaker 1: no problem, that's why.

1343
01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:22,920
Speaker 2: That's why we have it thirty three point one percent

1344
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 2: of the vote by two percent over my Blue Apron mishaps.

1345
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:30,160
Speaker 1: I swear to God, if I win some sort of

1346
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:33,280
Speaker 1: lottery or I create a company and sell it for

1347
01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:35,519
Speaker 1: a billion dollars, we are going to have the most

1348
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:39,320
