0:00:02.040 --> 0:00:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Solid Verbal.

0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to the Solid Verbal, boys and girls. My

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 2>name is ty Hildon Brant. I am joined as always

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:24.720
<v Speaker 2>by my good friend and colleague and co host over

0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:27.520
<v Speaker 2>there in beautiful New York City, a gentleman. You know him,

0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:31.000
<v Speaker 2>is Dan Rubenstein. Dan, Welcome to the Verbies.

0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, I wish you had said BLUs straight

0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:35.920
<v Speaker 1>New York City, because it is in fact BLUs Street

0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:39.279
<v Speaker 1>today on this Verbie Wednesday, and I am excited and

0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:43.600
<v Speaker 1>everything is gallants and emotions are running.

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:47.239
<v Speaker 2>High, blustery Dan, as our stars are walking the red

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:48.159
<v Speaker 2>carpet here today.

0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, who are you wearing? Do you want me to

0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 1>be quite literal? Sure?

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say Indo Chino, since they're a sponsor,

0:00:58.000 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 2>a longtime sponsor of the Verbal.

0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, of course I'm wearing Indo Chino. Indochino. Are they

0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 1>a sponsor of the Verbies? They are not, No, Okay.

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:08.840
<v Speaker 1>So I'm wearing a T shirt I bought in New

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Orleans at a coffee shop that I really liked because

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>it was very strong coffee and they had crushed ice,

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.800
<v Speaker 1>and it is called French truck coffee. So I'm wearing

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 1>that T shirt and it is very comfortable. It is

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 1>a Tribelend shirt I.

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:24.200
<v Speaker 2>Am currently wearing. I shouldn't say this on the air,

0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:26.600
<v Speaker 2>do it. I am wearing a shirt and it's one

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 2>of those Hanes white under t shirts. M really dressing

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 2>up for this gallant occasion here, Gallants.

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how many times.

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 2>We've done the Verbye Awards. Last year, I hate to

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 2>spoil the fun. We didn't actually record in Radio City

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:45.479
<v Speaker 2>Music Hall. I've been going with that joke for about

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 2>a year now. I feel like it's probably worn out.

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>It's welcome. We did some audio man that was overwhelming.

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Last year's hi that the awards show people turning out

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 1>for that was just flabbergasting. It was an overwhelming experience.

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 2>We worked a little audio magic last year and made

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 2>things sound the way we wanted. Suffice to say it

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 2>took a lot of time and a lot of effort.

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 2>It is our off season. We're still doing the Verbies.

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 2>We're just not going to go all out. We're gonna

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.640
<v Speaker 2>go back to the old school variety of verbies here

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:17.799
<v Speaker 2>in twenty seventeen. So for those of you who are

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 2>just tuning in, what are the Verby Awards are what

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.360
<v Speaker 2>are we talking about, Well, a couple of years ago,

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:27.359
<v Speaker 2>and it does escape me when in fact we started

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 2>doing this, But we decided we were going to do

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 2>our own award show, and I believe it was you.

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 2>You came up with the concept of the Verby Awards.

0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 2>Kirk Kurbtreet has what the herbies.

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:41.399
<v Speaker 1>Right, Kirkurbstreet has the Herbies and the preseason Herbies, and

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 1>we came up with the Verbies and have sort of

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.639
<v Speaker 1>woven audio magic throughout the years in various ways. I've

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 1>done this from your mom's house with you. Yeah, I

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.119
<v Speaker 1>was the first time, I think it was the first

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:56.360
<v Speaker 1>time I met her. It was definitely the first time

0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 1>I spent time in Allentown and went to the house

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>in which you grew up. And we've done this show

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:05.799
<v Speaker 1>with audio magic with various presenters. We did this show

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>when I was living in la and I remember making

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Pete Carroll ditching USC and a helicopter jokes on the

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 1>red carpet, something along those lines. So this has been

0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:18.519
<v Speaker 1>a long standing postseason award show tradition. Second only, I

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 1>would say to the Pismen in terms of college football royalty.

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, so. The way that we've done this over the years.

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.800
<v Speaker 2>It's varied. Originally, we started coming up with our own awards,

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 2>and we came up with our own.

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Set of candidates.

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 2>But then as the verballerhood grew, we started allowing people

0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 2>to vote, and then we started allowing people to nominate,

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 2>and it has now basically turned into a verbaler generated

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.400
<v Speaker 2>award show. You gave us the nominees, we put them

0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 2>in a form.

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 1>You voted.

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Thousands of you voted on who you thought should win.

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.440
<v Speaker 2>I've got the results here in La La Land in

0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:59.720
<v Speaker 2>individual cards DAN that are appropriately labeled, and we're going

0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 2>to go award by award here and announce some winners tonight.

0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.160
<v Speaker 2>The only caveat that I will announce and we've done

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:10.000
<v Speaker 2>this before, kind of like a captain's pick or you

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.440
<v Speaker 2>know what, do they having the voice where they could

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 2>save one person? Sort of along those same lines. You

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 2>and I have overriding ability here because it is our show.

0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:22.360
<v Speaker 2>So if we determine that we want to put someone

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:26.600
<v Speaker 2>else in and usurp what our audience out there has

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 2>voted for, we reserve that right.

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.599
<v Speaker 1>And of course, thanks as always to Price Waterhouse Cooper

0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.880
<v Speaker 1>for keeping track of the safety and security of the

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.280
<v Speaker 1>final results. On that note, Dan, shall we dive right?

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:43.480
<v Speaker 1>I think we should not Coach of the year, all right?

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Not Coach of the Year. Dan.

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Here are your nominees for basically the reversive coach of

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.240
<v Speaker 2>the year. A lot of coaches out there in the

0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 2>wide world of college football didn't have a great year.

0:04:56.760 --> 0:05:00.120
<v Speaker 2>Here were the four that came in above all the others.

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Butch Jones from Tennessee, Charlie Strong from Texas, Bob Diaco

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:12.479
<v Speaker 2>from Yukon, and Brian Kelly from Notre Dame. If you

0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 2>were voting, and I know you voted, who did you

0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:14.599
<v Speaker 2>vote for?

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:14.880
<v Speaker 3>Here?

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Well?

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm sort of shocked that both Mark Helfrich and Les

0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Miles didn't make the final four, so a testament to

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 1>where the heads of the verballers are at. But of

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 1>these four, I would indeed vote for Bob Diaco, Bobby

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:31.839
<v Speaker 1>Iago the depths to which Yukon fell, even though the

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.720
<v Speaker 1>height the ceiling wasn't going to be as high as

0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 1>perhaps Texas and Texas did lose to Kansas, I think

0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:41.919
<v Speaker 1>the complete struggle of even adequate football would give it

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 1>to Bob Diaco.

0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:47.160
<v Speaker 2>For me, I was surprised that Helfrich wasn't on any

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 2>of the lists. Actually, yeah, that we put out there.

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.159
<v Speaker 2>We might have gotten a stray helfridch nomination here or there,

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.160
<v Speaker 2>but not for or not.

0:05:54.160 --> 0:06:00.040
<v Speaker 1>Coach of the Year. I voted for.

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:02.120
<v Speaker 2>Brian Kelly from Notre Dame, from my beloved Not Dame

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 2>fighting guy.

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to boost that fantasy things overlooking or what

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:10.279
<v Speaker 1>was the thing for Brian Kelly. You're just boosting your

0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:14.160
<v Speaker 1>own fantasy second guessing Brian Kelly. There, it is all right, Dan,

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.960
<v Speaker 1>dim the lights here we go. Dim the lights they

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:17.480
<v Speaker 1>are dimmed.

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Your winner for twenty seventeen, Verbie not Coach of the

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Year is.

0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Brian Kelly. Congreg Do you want to give a speech

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 1>on his behalf or do you want me to? I'd

0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 1>prefer not to give a speech on behalf of Brian Kelly.

0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean listen, first and foremost, Texas, Michigan state, Duke,

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 1>NC state in not ideal conditions, Stanford in relatively ideal conditions,

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Navy in just general fine conditions. The lead against Virginia

0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:03.599
<v Speaker 1>attach in USA couldn't have done it without any of those.

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 2>Here, here's what I'd say. This isn't like a funny

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 2>speech or anything like that. I voted for Brian Kelly

0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 2>thirty six point eight percent of the vote versus thirty

0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.480
<v Speaker 2>five point one percent of the vote for Butch Jones.

0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 2>So perhaps for a lesser popular contest, my one vote

0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.440
<v Speaker 2>could have made up the difference there. Wow, alas it

0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 2>did not. It was a fair margin, but only by

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 2>one point seven percent. Clear cut winner and Brian Kelly.

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:35.920
<v Speaker 2>I voted for Kelly because so many different things went

0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.840
<v Speaker 2>wrong for Notre Dame. It wasn't like just the defense

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 2>or just the offense, or just an injury or just

0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 2>a discipline thing. They all kind of occurred to different spots.

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:47.560
<v Speaker 2>You could never quite get a fix on this season,

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 2>and it just it kind of went into a weird

0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 2>death spiral.

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Butch Jones still won like nine games.

0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Charlie Strong, you could make a case, Bob Diaco the

0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 2>bottom fell out. Okay, I understand that one too, But

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 2>Brian ke Kelly was personal. Brian Kelly was obviously much

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.400
<v Speaker 2>more in the public eye. He is your twenty seventeen

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.640
<v Speaker 2>knot Coach of the Year, Dan.

0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.600
<v Speaker 1>And to sort of have that stink where not only

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 1>do you beat a team or lose to a team.

0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Excuse me, but after you lose to that team, they

0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.760
<v Speaker 1>in turn start losing. So the influence of Brian Kelly,

0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 1>the influence that he wheels, is far greater than any

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:25.640
<v Speaker 1>of these other nominees.

0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Brian Kelly was nominated here, but Notre Dame is also

0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:32.040
<v Speaker 2>nominated later for Busts of the Year. They are also

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.480
<v Speaker 2>nominated collectively for tire Fire of the Year in their

0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:39.200
<v Speaker 2>four and eight season, and then Notre Dame Stink is

0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 2>also nominated for Capstone Award here podcast Meme of the Year,

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:44.960
<v Speaker 2>La Lala.

0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Land of the twenty seventeen burbies. That's right, okay, Notre Dame.

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:53.679
<v Speaker 2>Moving on, Let's get to our next category, Alternate Uniform

0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.880
<v Speaker 2>of the Year. Alright, Alternate Uniform of the Year is

0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:03.160
<v Speaker 2>a relatively new entrant in the Verby Awards. We've been

0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:05.800
<v Speaker 2>doing this, I guess about three or four years now.

0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 2>I say that with full working knowledge that I'm not

0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.840
<v Speaker 2>sure how long we've done the verbis for, but it

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.960
<v Speaker 2>feels like alternate uniform is a newer category. It was

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 2>suggested by a listener many moons ago, and now here

0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 2>we are. What we're trying to do is call out

0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:26.480
<v Speaker 2>I say, the coolest alternate uniform of the year, because

0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:27.720
<v Speaker 2>every school is doing.

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 1>It now, right.

0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you feel at all like this is like a

0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 2>cheap spin off of what Oregon's done with their uniform situation. Uh?

0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Not necessarily, because a lot of these are honoring throwback looks,

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:46.559
<v Speaker 1>either in just like replicating the throwback or taking a

0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:50.120
<v Speaker 1>small chunk of what the university was involved in or

0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.760
<v Speaker 1>what's associated with the university and turning it into something.

0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:55.480
<v Speaker 1>We've seen this from the service. Academies do various takes

0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.440
<v Speaker 1>on you know, military imagery in very cool ways, in

0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:03.280
<v Speaker 1>some sort of weird ways, but there's nothing really too

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:06.319
<v Speaker 1>futuristic I would say about this year's nominees, which I

0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:07.560
<v Speaker 1>think is Oregon's hallmark.

0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:12.559
<v Speaker 2>A lot of close voting in this year's Verbi Awards.

0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:17.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking just at this category because again the results

0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.560
<v Speaker 2>are individually wrapped here. I'm not privy to any of

0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:23.319
<v Speaker 2>these results before the show, but this one was relatively

0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:26.920
<v Speaker 2>close as well. Alternate Uniforms of the Year. Here are

0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:36.240
<v Speaker 2>the nominees. One the Army Red Devils uniforms, two the

0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Air Force Shark toothed uniforms. Three the Oregon quote unquote

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:47.160
<v Speaker 2>mascot uniform What were the mascot uniforms?

0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 1>So the mascot uniforms were for the Colorado game, I believe,

0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:54.080
<v Speaker 1>which they lost. Last second, the color scheme matched the

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:58.319
<v Speaker 1>Ducks Dusk game. So the white helmet with the orange

0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.520
<v Speaker 1>masks for the Duck bill, the green and yellow the

0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.600
<v Speaker 1>same shade jersey, the white pants, and then orange socks

0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 1>and orange shoes to match the Ducks leg and web feet,

0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:13.040
<v Speaker 1>and then finally pits yellow throwback uniforms. If I'm being

0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 1>honest here, I feel like, what's the coolest? Right?

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:20.439
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say, I feel like Oregon invented this category.

0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Therefore they are a requisite nominee every year they have

0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:27.280
<v Speaker 2>to be in this category. Beyond that, though, I think the.

0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Coolest was far and away the Air Force. The Air Force, look,

0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.360
<v Speaker 1>that was pretty damn cool with the shark teeth, the

0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.280
<v Speaker 1>big shark. Yeah, it looks like an old plane, like

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.040
<v Speaker 1>the old paint plane, the shark toothplanes they were. They

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.600
<v Speaker 1>had the paint job that reminded me of like the

0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:45.400
<v Speaker 1>old World War Two reports, like tell the boys over

0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:47.719
<v Speaker 1>a seas that they're gonna be receiving the number one

0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.480
<v Speaker 1>pack like that is just a wonderful thing to me.

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:54.400
<v Speaker 1>But despite the pies men, I believe being one in

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Pitt's throwback uniforms, which I like that touch, I still

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 1>think the mascot you dressing up as the mascot to

0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:06.520
<v Speaker 1>me as a Homer, as a biased person, I still

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.600
<v Speaker 1>think the complete look is the best of these four.

0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:09.720
<v Speaker 1>I like all of these.

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.920
<v Speaker 2>If I am grading them on a scale of one

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:16.320
<v Speaker 2>through four, first being my favorite, fourth being my least favorite,

0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:18.480
<v Speaker 2>I would put Oregon fourth because I think the others

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 2>are cooler, But that doesn't mean it is not cool

0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.040
<v Speaker 2>in its own right. I liked it, just not as

0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:25.200
<v Speaker 2>much much as Shark Tooth.

0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, the voice I was trying to do. By the way,

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.680
<v Speaker 1>you know Kats is the deli here, Yeah, in New York.

0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.280
<v Speaker 1>So they have a poster up and it's send a

0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Salami to your boy in the Army, And that's what

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:38.320
<v Speaker 1>the Shark reminds me of.

0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:39.000
<v Speaker 3>So I like it.

0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Daniel, dim the lights, Oh here I go. You're a

0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 2>winner for twenty seventeen Alternate Uniform of the Year, the.

0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Air Force Shark Tooth uniforms.

0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, congratulations to air Force.

0:12:58.040 --> 0:12:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I think it's appropriate and they did a great job

0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:00.560
<v Speaker 1>with its.

0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:05.080
<v Speaker 2>Thirty five point one percent of the vote went to

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Air Force. Pits Yellow Throwbacks got twenty seven, Armies Red

0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Devils got twenty point two, and then Oregon did come

0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 2>in fourth with seventeen percent, so relatively close vote. People

0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:23.360
<v Speaker 2>were not overwhelmingly in favor of one versus the others.

0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:26.520
<v Speaker 1>And a quiet ten win season for Air Force, so

0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:29.200
<v Speaker 1>the wins keep piling up for the Falcons. They finished

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.640
<v Speaker 1>the season, they won their bowl game, they beat Boise State,

0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:35.080
<v Speaker 1>so they finished the air with six wins on the

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.360
<v Speaker 1>field and a big win off it, Ty send a

0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:42.120
<v Speaker 1>salami to you boy in the Army. Moving on our next.

0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Award, Worst Year Back, Worst Year Back. What does this

0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:57.160
<v Speaker 2>award mean to you? That is the intrinsic question here.

0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:00.920
<v Speaker 2>It's meant a lot of different things to us since

0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:06.439
<v Speaker 2>we started awarding this, let's say three years ago. It

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 2>was originally because of what happened to Matt Barkley, because,

0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.200
<v Speaker 2>as you know, Matt Barkley had a baller junior year,

0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.680
<v Speaker 2>was a consensus top five pick, and then decided to

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:20.680
<v Speaker 2>come back to college. It was pretty much all downhill

0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.360
<v Speaker 2>from there. Matt Barkley never materialized in the NFL. He

0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.240
<v Speaker 2>was a later pick in the NFL draft. He did

0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:28.480
<v Speaker 2>not cash in when his stock was the highest.

0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Worst.

0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:32.920
<v Speaker 2>You're back Matt Barkley senior year. But over time it's

0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:35.480
<v Speaker 2>come to mean different things. Originally it was supposed to

0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.640
<v Speaker 2>be a junior for going the draft to go for

0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:40.400
<v Speaker 2>a senior season, but then Christian.

0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Hackenberg came around.

0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Christian Hackenberg wasn't quite in that in that same situation, right.

0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.960
<v Speaker 2>It just it fell out from under him once James

0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:51.400
<v Speaker 2>Franklin got to town and then we incorporated him and

0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:55.680
<v Speaker 2>thought that he was fitting. This year, we've actually incorporated

0:14:55.720 --> 0:15:00.080
<v Speaker 2>a coach into the field here. So what does does

0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 2>this mean to you?

0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:01.120
<v Speaker 3>Dan?

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.240
<v Speaker 1>I think you hit it on the head. I think

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:07.640
<v Speaker 1>it's something that you know uncertainty whether a person, coach, player,

0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:09.680
<v Speaker 1>or whatever is going to come back. So maybe a

0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:12.560
<v Speaker 1>coach that flirts with the NFL or flirts with taking

0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 1>another job and ultimately decides to remain at his school,

0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:18.760
<v Speaker 1>or a player flirting with the NFL draft and deciding

0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:22.840
<v Speaker 1>to come back for another season, something along those lines.

0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.080
<v Speaker 1>And I guess it can mean something else to anybody

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.720
<v Speaker 1>who's voting the three nominees. I think it sort of

0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:32.920
<v Speaker 1>means different things. But I think I agree with two

0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:37.400
<v Speaker 1>of these three as for fitting in the category and

0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:39.240
<v Speaker 1>being a finalist. The other one I'm not sure about.

0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:41.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited, I can tell you.

0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:44.320
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, that's the way the voting went,

0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:46.760
<v Speaker 2>for what it's worth, and we'll get into that here.

0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:50.680
<v Speaker 2>But yes, the fringe candidate every year we've done this

0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:54.080
<v Speaker 2>has been Pat Fitzgerald. Every year we get a couple

0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:57.360
<v Speaker 2>suggestions for Pat Fitzgerald. I'm not saying I agree with it,

0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:00.200
<v Speaker 2>but I'm also not saying I fully disagree with it.

0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.680
<v Speaker 2>I understand if you're looking at the Pat Fitzgerald stock

0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 2>report why you might think that Pat Fitzgerald could potentially

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.360
<v Speaker 2>be a candidate for this. Not a strong enough candidate,

0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:14.880
<v Speaker 2>but he is the ultimate fringe candidate. The real candidates

0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:21.320
<v Speaker 2>are as follows. The aforementioned coach, Les Miles, formerly the

0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:27.440
<v Speaker 2>coach of UNSU, was unceremoniously fired at long last and

0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.160
<v Speaker 2>was sort of only got back as sort of a

0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:32.680
<v Speaker 2>last minute decision to keep him.

0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.720
<v Speaker 1>So he is back in the conventional sense of this award.

0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:38.360
<v Speaker 2>He was back, but just not for as long as

0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Josh Rosen sure or maybe he was Josh Rosen. He

0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.680
<v Speaker 2>only played half the season. Yeah if that, Yeah, I

0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:48.880
<v Speaker 2>kind of feel like it's unfair for Josh Rosen to

0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:49.320
<v Speaker 2>be in here.

0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:51.840
<v Speaker 1>He was hurt. That's a bad year back, though, tie,

0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:55.720
<v Speaker 1>it's a bad year back. Severe nerve damage to your

0:16:55.760 --> 0:17:00.800
<v Speaker 1>shoulder is not great. Okay, that's fair. And then Christian

0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:06.520
<v Speaker 1>McCaffrey nicked up, was nicked up, was good while he

0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:10.040
<v Speaker 1>played poor quarterback play did not help him.

0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:13.600
<v Speaker 2>I feel like Christian McCaffrey had more on his shoulders

0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:16.880
<v Speaker 2>this season when he wasn't nicked up than he did

0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:20.280
<v Speaker 2>when Kevin Hogan was still quarterback, and that probably contributed

0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:22.720
<v Speaker 2>a little bit to reduced output.

0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:25.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to cast my vote for less Miles because

0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.040
<v Speaker 1>the uncertainty of will I get fired or won't die

0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:33.800
<v Speaker 1>at the beginning of last year, after last season, after

0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:40.280
<v Speaker 1>the twenty fifteen season, compounded with turbulence early on in

0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.159
<v Speaker 1>the season losing your job and then interviewing for a

0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.560
<v Speaker 1>bunch of jobs or meeting with teams for a bunch

0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:49.080
<v Speaker 1>of new jobs, and everybody just sort of passing. So

0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:53.240
<v Speaker 1>there's some compound fracturing there for less Miles that I

0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:55.120
<v Speaker 1>don't think is the same for the others, because Christian

0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:58.480
<v Speaker 1>McCaffrey ultimately had a pretty good season and well, there's

0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:00.840
<v Speaker 1>a good chance he'll get drafted in the first round,

0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:05.000
<v Speaker 1>so ultimately not a terrible year. I voted for less

0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:09.200
<v Speaker 1>as well. I'm going less. Gim the lights. Here we go. Okay,

0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:09.840
<v Speaker 1>here we go.

0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Moment of truth, you're twenty seventeen worst year back, Josh Rosen. Wow,

0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.560
<v Speaker 2>bit of a stutter, I think.

0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I mean, going into the season, there was the hype.

0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:32.000
<v Speaker 1>There was they're going to a pro style offense with

0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Kennedy Palamalu. It's we're going to see an unleashed Josh

0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Rosen a sophomore. You can make a statement early against

0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Texas A and M. You know, they have all this

0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:42.360
<v Speaker 1>returning talent on defense to put them in good position

0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:46.119
<v Speaker 1>and just a huge bummer of an injury. It's not

0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:48.200
<v Speaker 1>a good year back, ty, it is not a good

0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:48.800
<v Speaker 1>year back.

0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Forty one point seven percent versus thirty nine point five

0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.840
<v Speaker 2>percent of the vote, These darn third party candidates and

0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Christian McCaffrey stealing eighteen percent of the vote. I'd be

0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:06.800
<v Speaker 2>curious if we didn't have cemac in the category, how

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:08.560
<v Speaker 2>this would have gone if it might have swung in

0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:09.720
<v Speaker 2>the favor of less Miles, but.

0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:11.639
<v Speaker 1>A last would you have added somebody else different?

0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:17.280
<v Speaker 2>I feel like these were the two strongest candidates that

0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:20.119
<v Speaker 2>we received when we initially threw it out there.

0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:24.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there was uncertainty about Charlie Strong after last year. Yeah,

0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:25.840
<v Speaker 1>we got to vote of confidence.

0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there are a number of names that you could

0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:30.280
<v Speaker 2>have thrown in there. I don't know if any of

0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:32.920
<v Speaker 2>them were particularly strong. I feel like less Miles was

0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:33.520
<v Speaker 2>the strongest.

0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's reasonable. I want to say there was some

0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:42.280
<v Speaker 1>smoke around Lane Kiffin after last year, but again they

0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:44.639
<v Speaker 1>went undefeated during the regular season. Hart to say it

0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:46.760
<v Speaker 1>was a bad year back, but it ended unceremoniously.

0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Worst year back Josh Rosen so thus far not Coach

0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:54.200
<v Speaker 2>of the Year Brian Kelly thirty six point eight percent,

0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:59.040
<v Speaker 2>Alternate Uniform of the Year Air Force's Shark tooth Uniforms

0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:02.080
<v Speaker 2>thirty five point one and our worst year back Josh

0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Rosen forty one point seven percent of the vote. Will

0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:09.680
<v Speaker 2>that be the highest percentage of the vote. A lot

0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:11.720
<v Speaker 2>of close vote totals here, Dan, Let's move on. Let's

0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:17.399
<v Speaker 2>go to half team of the year Half Team of

0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:17.880
<v Speaker 2>the Year.

0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:22.680
<v Speaker 1>This is a Dan Rubinstein special here what is half

0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:24.760
<v Speaker 1>the end of the year? Half Team of the Year

0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:28.520
<v Speaker 1>is awarded to the team that puts forth the best

0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:32.080
<v Speaker 1>side of the ball that is paired with the worst

0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:34.560
<v Speaker 1>side of the ball. So a team that puts out

0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:37.120
<v Speaker 1>an unbelievable defense, and a couple of examples. A couple

0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:39.879
<v Speaker 1>of years ago, what inspired this was Missouri's defense was

0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:42.840
<v Speaker 1>just it was full of NFL players. They locked everybody down,

0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:45.640
<v Speaker 1>and their offense just couldn't even get a first down.

0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:48.560
<v Speaker 1>They were just atrocious. The defense kept putting the offense

0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:51.040
<v Speaker 1>in good position to take advantage of teams could not

0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:54.320
<v Speaker 1>do anything. We have Texas Tech defense, which I think

0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:56.400
<v Speaker 1>I believe they're a nominee this year, but even two

0:20:56.480 --> 0:21:00.639
<v Speaker 1>years ago that offense, oh excuse me. The offense is

0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:07.480
<v Speaker 1>the half team because of the excruciatingly disappointing defense. And

0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:09.680
<v Speaker 1>we had Boston College's defense a couple of years ago

0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:12.439
<v Speaker 1>under Don Brown has since moved on to Michigan. So

0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:16.000
<v Speaker 1>a number of teams put forth an unbelievable effort on

0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:19.040
<v Speaker 1>one side of the ball and are completely let down

0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:21.520
<v Speaker 1>by incompetence on the other. So we want to reward

0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:24.160
<v Speaker 1>those teams for those struggles that they're in very little

0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:28.560
<v Speaker 1>control of. Last year, it was a gripping speech by

0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:32.919
<v Speaker 1>our good friend Steve Dazio. Boston College's defense took the

0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:36.320
<v Speaker 1>cake last year. This year, I feel we've got a

0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:40.240
<v Speaker 1>really balanced cast of characters to choose from. Okay, I

0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:47.280
<v Speaker 1>will read these off in alphabetical order. Florida's defense, h yeah,

0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:56.760
<v Speaker 1>LSU's defense, absolutely, Pitt's offense, Texas Techs offense. Those year

0:21:56.800 --> 0:22:01.440
<v Speaker 1>four nominees. I think the weakest entrant here is LSU's defense,

0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:03.800
<v Speaker 1>not because elis U's defense is bad, but because, by

0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:07.120
<v Speaker 1>the end of the year, at least under at Orizron,

0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:09.719
<v Speaker 1>I felt like the offense turned a corner. The two

0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:12.080
<v Speaker 1>headed running backs. The passing game wasn't there, but they

0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:14.600
<v Speaker 1>were putting up points. They were moving the ball, but

0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:18.840
<v Speaker 1>there were moments where games were lost because of an

0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:21.520
<v Speaker 1>inability to move the ball consistently. When you have that

0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:24.359
<v Speaker 1>level of NFL defense, elise Used offense should have been better.

0:22:24.440 --> 0:22:30.040
<v Speaker 2>I voted for Florida's defense. Florida's defense carried that football team,

0:22:30.160 --> 0:22:34.040
<v Speaker 2>and I think what swung my vote in their direction

0:22:35.240 --> 0:22:37.960
<v Speaker 2>was just the fact that the offense was so unexpectedly

0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:42.320
<v Speaker 2>bad for a second straight year under Jim mcawain. He's

0:22:42.320 --> 0:22:45.080
<v Speaker 2>an offensive minded guy. He would expect by now he'd

0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:48.760
<v Speaker 2>be able to assemble enough parts offensively to feel the

0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:52.000
<v Speaker 2>better offense. Not that I'm saying I expected them to

0:22:52.000 --> 0:22:55.000
<v Speaker 2>come out there and be pyrotechnic on the offensive side

0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:55.280
<v Speaker 2>of the ball.

0:22:55.280 --> 0:22:55.840
<v Speaker 1>I never did.

0:22:56.440 --> 0:22:59.480
<v Speaker 2>I just expected more, and the fact that the defense

0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:03.119
<v Speaker 2>had to carry them again, I just I felt like

0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:06.600
<v Speaker 2>they deserve something. They deserve something for that effort, and

0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:09.480
<v Speaker 2>if it's only a lowly verbie, then so be it.

0:23:09.560 --> 0:23:11.960
<v Speaker 2>But you gotta give them some props. That's why I

0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:14.880
<v Speaker 2>voted for them. I really feel for that Texas Tech offense.

0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:20.440
<v Speaker 2>They put up points and against the Big twelve, Texas

0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Tech allowed forty three points six points a game. Wow,

0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:26.760
<v Speaker 2>that's not good enough.

0:23:26.840 --> 0:23:32.200
<v Speaker 1>I I'm going to say this, it should be easier

0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:35.119
<v Speaker 1>for Florida, a team who has recently won multiple national

0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:39.880
<v Speaker 1>championships and has had a Heisman quarterback to field an

0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:44.040
<v Speaker 1>offense with the available talent that is in state. They

0:23:44.040 --> 0:23:47.479
<v Speaker 1>should be able to put forth an offense that scores

0:23:47.520 --> 0:23:51.200
<v Speaker 1>thirty points a game to compliment that Florida should never

0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:55.120
<v Speaker 1>really win fewer than nine games a year, and had

0:23:55.119 --> 0:23:57.080
<v Speaker 1>they had an offense, they would have won at least

0:23:57.119 --> 0:24:00.000
<v Speaker 1>a couple more. So, I think the Florida pick is

0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:02.440
<v Speaker 1>the right pick. I think, Hey, I'm going there. Half

0:24:02.480 --> 0:24:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Team of the Year, dim theolights, it's good our drum

0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:08.960
<v Speaker 1>roll in here. Your winner twenty seventeen Half Team of

0:24:08.960 --> 0:24:14.600
<v Speaker 1>the Year is Texas Tech Offense. Hey, I see it,

0:24:14.760 --> 0:24:18.760
<v Speaker 1>I see it. Ty good for them, good f They

0:24:18.840 --> 0:24:22.400
<v Speaker 1>had an S and P plus defensive rating two years

0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:25.960
<v Speaker 1>ago of forty one point two. That's atrocious. Last year

0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:31.040
<v Speaker 1>they improved to forty and they remained the worst efficiency

0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:34.760
<v Speaker 1>defense in college football while having an NFL caliber quarterback

0:24:34.800 --> 0:24:36.200
<v Speaker 1>dropped like fifty points a game.

0:24:36.800 --> 0:24:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Thirty seven percent of the vote versus twenty five percent

0:24:41.760 --> 0:24:44.639
<v Speaker 2>of the vote for Florida. LSU comes in third with

0:24:44.720 --> 0:24:49.680
<v Speaker 2>about nineteen and Pick comes in fourth with about seventeen

0:24:49.720 --> 0:24:53.920
<v Speaker 2>percent of the vote. Here, I can't say I strongly

0:24:53.920 --> 0:24:58.040
<v Speaker 2>disagree with Tech Tech offense selection. In truth, they could

0:24:58.080 --> 0:25:00.199
<v Speaker 2>have won last year. They could have won an of

0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:03.240
<v Speaker 2>the last five years if we're being honest here. Yeah,

0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:07.159
<v Speaker 2>so Texas Tech Offense thirty seven percent congratulations Cliff Kingsbury,

0:25:07.640 --> 0:25:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes actually nominated a little bit later

0:25:10.600 --> 0:25:13.680
<v Speaker 2>for Losing Effort of the Year, so potentially a really

0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:17.360
<v Speaker 2>big night here for the Texas Tech Red Raiders football program.

0:25:18.160 --> 0:25:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I think we should exclusively judge Texas Tech's twenty seventeen

0:25:21.600 --> 0:25:24.560
<v Speaker 1>season by if they are a nominee for this award

0:25:24.640 --> 0:25:27.840
<v Speaker 1>next year. If they're just not a nominee in either

0:25:27.920 --> 0:25:30.639
<v Speaker 1>direction for this award, the season was a huge success.

0:25:30.640 --> 0:25:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't even care if they go three and nine

0:25:32.080 --> 0:25:36.200
<v Speaker 1>without Patrick Mahomes, and if they are here next year,

0:25:36.720 --> 0:25:39.320
<v Speaker 1>I look forward to seeing how Lincoln Riley will change

0:25:39.320 --> 0:25:40.359
<v Speaker 1>things in twenty eighteen.

0:25:40.480 --> 0:25:42.760
<v Speaker 2>I was going to say, if they're here next year,

0:25:42.800 --> 0:25:45.800
<v Speaker 2>that means Cliff Kingsbury is a nominee for not Coach

0:25:45.840 --> 0:25:50.480
<v Speaker 2>of the Year, right, Absolutely. Moving on, Let's go to

0:25:50.720 --> 0:25:52.800
<v Speaker 2>another favorite.

0:25:54.520 --> 0:25:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Crime of the Year.

0:25:56.760 --> 0:26:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Very dramatic Dan Wow, Yeah, worked up Crime of the

0:26:02.320 --> 0:26:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Year man. Okay, We've had a bunch of odd, odd

0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:11.480
<v Speaker 2>candidates for this award in the past. We've had guys

0:26:11.680 --> 0:26:14.600
<v Speaker 2>going into three point stances and charging at the cops.

0:26:15.840 --> 0:26:18.880
<v Speaker 2>We've had, as we do this year, a guy shoplifting

0:26:19.480 --> 0:26:23.360
<v Speaker 2>on his Bowl trip to a Belk. Just a bunch

0:26:23.440 --> 0:26:26.240
<v Speaker 2>of weird stuff that's going on in and around the

0:26:26.240 --> 0:26:29.760
<v Speaker 2>college football ether since we started doing the verbies.

0:26:29.800 --> 0:26:31.400
<v Speaker 1>This is also a newer.

0:26:32.600 --> 0:26:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Award, but not to be overshadowed at all. One of

0:26:36.800 --> 0:26:40.399
<v Speaker 2>our favorites. Three really good candidates this year. I already

0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:45.720
<v Speaker 2>mentioned Jeremy Sprinkle shoplifting from Belk. He did that during

0:26:45.760 --> 0:26:50.359
<v Speaker 2>his Belk Bowl visit. Excuse me, he played for Arkansas.

0:26:50.520 --> 0:26:52.280
<v Speaker 2>I believe, if memory serves.

0:26:52.520 --> 0:26:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Belk is a department store for those in the dark,

0:26:55.160 --> 0:26:58.800
<v Speaker 1>A department store that's correct, Southern department store. Jeremy Sprinkle

0:26:59.480 --> 0:27:00.520
<v Speaker 1>a great middle name.

0:27:00.600 --> 0:27:04.560
<v Speaker 2>Crime of the year. Shoplifting from a Belk another one

0:27:04.560 --> 0:27:08.280
<v Speaker 2>that pops up here, and rightfully so. Whoever nominated this

0:27:09.600 --> 0:27:17.320
<v Speaker 2>was extremely creative, not taking crime literally, but somewhat creatively

0:27:17.400 --> 0:27:20.399
<v Speaker 2>in saying that Central Michigan's win over Oklahoma State on

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:24.120
<v Speaker 2>that bizarre last second play yeah, should qualify as a crime.

0:27:24.160 --> 0:27:27.520
<v Speaker 2>And I agree Central Michigan's win over Oklahoma State very

0:27:27.560 --> 0:27:28.600
<v Speaker 2>much a crime because.

0:27:28.359 --> 0:27:30.480
<v Speaker 1>It shouldn't have been a win at all. Oklahoma State

0:27:30.520 --> 0:27:32.520
<v Speaker 1>got screwed. This is all true.

0:27:34.040 --> 0:27:36.840
<v Speaker 2>The big question for me, though, is whether or not

0:27:36.960 --> 0:27:41.879
<v Speaker 2>either of those two has what it takes to knock

0:27:41.920 --> 0:27:47.800
<v Speaker 2>off Wakey Leaks. Wakey Leaks is ty.

0:27:47.880 --> 0:27:50.520
<v Speaker 1>We live in turbulent times, we do fair to say

0:27:50.640 --> 0:28:00.000
<v Speaker 1>yes and throwing an item on here. Espionage assisting foreign enemies. Yeah,

0:28:00.280 --> 0:28:02.600
<v Speaker 1>this is You're scratching a lot of people right where

0:28:02.640 --> 0:28:06.040
<v Speaker 1>they itch dog wake elenx is is right there. I

0:28:06.080 --> 0:28:08.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I do not know how you find something

0:28:08.680 --> 0:28:12.080
<v Speaker 1>bigger than wake Leaks. Then you finding a radio analyst

0:28:12.160 --> 0:28:15.440
<v Speaker 1>helping out wake Forest, a wake Forest radio analyst helping

0:28:15.440 --> 0:28:19.800
<v Speaker 1>out wake Forest opponents during the season by slipping them

0:28:19.880 --> 0:28:25.359
<v Speaker 1>game plans xerox copies very Americans of wake Forests, or

0:28:25.359 --> 0:28:28.080
<v Speaker 1>at least a radio announcers. So I don't know how

0:28:28.080 --> 0:28:29.760
<v Speaker 1>wake e Leaks gets topped. I just don't.

0:28:29.880 --> 0:28:32.760
<v Speaker 2>This is so stupid it could only happen in college football,

0:28:33.040 --> 0:28:36.199
<v Speaker 2>Sue one of the people say about our podcast, by

0:28:36.240 --> 0:28:39.000
<v Speaker 2>the way, oh yeah, yeah. One of the dumbest things

0:28:39.040 --> 0:28:40.600
<v Speaker 2>I've ever heard my entire life.

0:28:41.320 --> 0:28:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Still there, that.

0:28:42.320 --> 0:28:46.720
<v Speaker 2>Somebody would risk their career, and not only their current career,

0:28:46.720 --> 0:28:50.880
<v Speaker 2>but their future career to try and sell off wake

0:28:50.960 --> 0:28:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Forest game plans. Yep, I don't even know if he

0:28:54.160 --> 0:28:55.680
<v Speaker 2>tried to sell them off. He just tried to pawn

0:28:55.760 --> 0:28:57.560
<v Speaker 2>them off as some sort of revenge scheme.

0:28:57.960 --> 0:29:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm. And he actually found a couple takers. But

0:29:00.840 --> 0:29:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how you top it. I just don't.

0:29:02.840 --> 0:29:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Crime of the Year, We've got Jeremy Sprinkle, we've got

0:29:05.360 --> 0:29:07.760
<v Speaker 2>Central Michigan, and we've got.

<v Speaker 1>Wakey Leaks in the lights your winner. Crime of the Year.

0:29:13.160 --> 0:29:16.200

<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, Forty four point nine percent of the vote

0:29:27.000 --> 0:29:32.280

0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:43.200
<v Speaker 3>from a Belk on Arkansas's trip to the Belk Ball.

0:29:43.600 --> 0:29:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Jeremy Sprinkle got a lot more love than I expected. Actually,

0:29:48.880 --> 0:29:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Central Michigan got a lot more love than I expected.

0:29:52.280 --> 0:29:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Wakey Leaks to me was the eight thousand pound gorilla

0:29:55.880 --> 0:29:58.000
<v Speaker 2>in this room. And I'm glad that they took home

0:29:58.040 --> 0:30:00.520
<v Speaker 2>the hardware. So congratuate has to be, has to be.

0:30:01.360 --> 0:30:05.040
<v Speaker 1>It feels good that, you know, such a deserving candidate

0:30:05.120 --> 0:30:10.240
<v Speaker 1>is able to take home the gold. We're about halfway through.

0:30:10.640 --> 0:30:14.160

<v Speaker 2>As you know, not all is fun of games in

<v Speaker 2>the college football world. Each and every season, we've got

0:30:42.920 --> 0:30:46.640

0:33:47.360 --> 0:33:51.200

0:33:57.600 --> 0:34:02.040

0:34:05.560 --> 0:34:06.440
<v Speaker 1>after taking a bite.

0:34:06.560 --> 0:34:11.520

<v Speaker 2>curry with cabbage and rice dans.

<v Speaker 1>All of these sound fantastic, have you cooked recently? I have, Yeah,

0:34:21.880 --> 0:34:24.839
<v Speaker 1>I cooked salmon last night, not salmon pikata. I wish

0:34:24.880 --> 0:34:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I had the salmon pikata. Are you are you searing?

0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Are you roasting? Are you grilling? I'm souveating and then seering.

0:34:32.160 --> 0:34:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh my goodness, time is there a sauce? We go

0:34:34.600 --> 0:34:37.400
<v Speaker 1>in with a mustard sauce at Teriaki just had seal,

<v Speaker 1>Way to cook maso butter. Back to the Verbees. Here

0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:19.840
<v Speaker 1>we got a bust of the year. Bust the year,

0:35:20.640 --> 0:35:25.000
<v Speaker 1>okad this one's I mean three or four of are

0:35:25.160 --> 0:35:26.200
<v Speaker 1>very highly contested.

0:35:26.239 --> 0:35:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Here Busts of the Year used to be known as

0:35:28.480 --> 0:35:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Clemson of the Year. Yeah, used to be Clemson of

0:35:31.840 --> 0:35:33.080
<v Speaker 2>the Year, but no longer.

0:35:33.360 --> 0:35:33.880
<v Speaker 1>No longer.

0:35:33.960 --> 0:35:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Last year we officially retired, at least in our little world,

0:35:39.040 --> 0:35:42.200
<v Speaker 2>the clemsoning term. Yes, I shouldn't even have said it now,

0:35:42.200 --> 0:35:45.120
<v Speaker 2>but I did. It's okay, proving a point, you're human.

0:35:45.719 --> 0:35:50.360
<v Speaker 2>We retired the term. In so doing, we retired Clemson

0:35:50.400 --> 0:35:52.600
<v Speaker 2>of the Year. We've renamed it to Bust of the

0:35:52.719 --> 0:35:55.359
<v Speaker 2>Year out of respect to our good friends down there

0:35:55.360 --> 0:36:00.080
<v Speaker 2>in Clemson, South Carolina. This year, we've got four nominees

0:36:01.239 --> 0:36:04.239
<v Speaker 2>that all are very deserving of this award.

0:36:04.640 --> 0:36:06.600
<v Speaker 1>What qualifies as a bus tie?

0:36:07.239 --> 0:36:09.319
<v Speaker 2>I think what qualifies as a bus is coming in

0:36:09.360 --> 0:36:14.640
<v Speaker 2>with really high expectations and then totally underperforming those expectations,

0:36:15.160 --> 0:36:16.040
<v Speaker 2>plain and simple.

0:36:16.560 --> 0:36:19.880
<v Speaker 1>That's my definition. So we saw a team doing something

0:36:19.920 --> 0:36:22.200
<v Speaker 1>and they let us down, and thus we can call

0:36:22.239 --> 0:36:24.400
<v Speaker 1>them a name. That's right.

0:36:25.280 --> 0:36:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Your first nominee here is Notre Dame. Yeah, Notre Dame

0:36:29.160 --> 0:36:31.319
<v Speaker 2>went four and eight. If you don't know that Notre

0:36:31.400 --> 0:36:35.319
<v Speaker 2>Dame went to four and eight, you probably just found

0:36:35.360 --> 0:36:37.680
<v Speaker 2>out about college football, or haven't listened to the show,

0:36:37.800 --> 0:36:41.120
<v Speaker 2>or haven't been on Twitter or the internet in general,

0:36:41.840 --> 0:36:44.279
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame going four and eight is one of the

0:36:44.360 --> 0:36:47.560
<v Speaker 2>longest running jokes in the college football world right now,

0:36:48.400 --> 0:36:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame, your first nominee. Number two is Oregon. Oregon

0:36:53.719 --> 0:36:55.680
<v Speaker 2>also went four and eight, but for some reason you

0:36:55.719 --> 0:36:56.799
<v Speaker 2>didn't get quite the.

0:36:56.760 --> 0:36:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Blowback that Notre Dame did. Dan, Why is that people

0:36:59.640 --> 0:37:02.839
<v Speaker 1>like or do they they do?

0:37:03.320 --> 0:37:03.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:37:03.719 --> 0:37:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah they do.

0:37:06.200 --> 0:37:08.360
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty fitting that both of our teams are on

0:37:08.400 --> 0:37:10.880
<v Speaker 2>this list, also very depressing.

0:37:12.480 --> 0:37:14.759
<v Speaker 1>It was not a fun fall for either one of us. Ty,

0:37:15.120 --> 0:37:16.640
<v Speaker 1>you got a new coach out of this.

0:37:17.320 --> 0:37:21.440
<v Speaker 2>That is true. I have no idea if he's going

0:37:21.480 --> 0:37:23.879
<v Speaker 2>to be good. Ore you went four and eight. They're

0:37:23.880 --> 0:37:27.840
<v Speaker 2>also on this list. Michigan State also on this list,

0:37:28.040 --> 0:37:30.600
<v Speaker 2>a very sound contender for this award.

0:37:30.719 --> 0:37:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Probably not as.

0:37:33.480 --> 0:37:36.360
<v Speaker 2>Flashy name as Notre Dame or Oregon, but certainly a

0:37:36.400 --> 0:37:37.239
<v Speaker 2>successful name.

0:37:37.440 --> 0:37:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Michigan State was in.

0:37:38.400 --> 0:37:41.560
<v Speaker 2>The College Football Playoff a year prior, fell off the

0:37:41.560 --> 0:37:43.760
<v Speaker 2>face of the earth and actually had a worse record

0:37:44.280 --> 0:37:45.160
<v Speaker 2>three to nine, but they.

0:37:45.040 --> 0:37:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Did beat noted. True they did, which means very little.

0:37:50.000 --> 0:37:53.080
<v Speaker 1>And then there's TCU. TCU went six and seven, lost

0:37:53.120 --> 0:37:57.880
<v Speaker 1>their bowl game, but I feel like TCU is deserving

0:37:57.960 --> 0:38:02.280
<v Speaker 1>of this spot on the list because many folks, including myself,

0:38:02.320 --> 0:38:06.120
<v Speaker 1>including Kirk Kurbstreet, a lot of college football talkers had

0:38:06.840 --> 0:38:09.960
<v Speaker 1>TCU as a dark horse playoff contender and they just

0:38:10.000 --> 0:38:13.240
<v Speaker 1>never got out, never got it going, whether it was offense,

0:38:13.239 --> 0:38:16.080
<v Speaker 1>whether it was defense, just could never fire on both

0:38:16.120 --> 0:38:19.279
<v Speaker 1>cylinders and was kind of a mess for a good

0:38:19.320 --> 0:38:21.840
<v Speaker 1>chunk of the year. So TCU is deserving of this spot.

0:38:22.600 --> 0:38:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I would have given it to UCLA even with the

0:38:25.440 --> 0:38:31.040
<v Speaker 1>injury to Josh Rosen, TCU had a new quarterback, some change,

0:38:31.560 --> 0:38:34.080
<v Speaker 1>they still go. They're still in the vicinity of five hundred.

0:38:34.200 --> 0:38:37.440
<v Speaker 1>UCLA two and seven in the PAC twelve, four and

0:38:37.480 --> 0:38:40.600
<v Speaker 1>eight overall, another team at four and eight, and we'll

0:38:40.680 --> 0:38:43.400
<v Speaker 1>have a number of players on both sides of the

0:38:43.400 --> 0:38:45.600
<v Speaker 1>ball drafted either this year or next year. They had

0:38:45.600 --> 0:38:49.200
<v Speaker 1>an NFL caliber onlin NFL caliber, but a defense stocked

0:38:49.200 --> 0:38:52.960
<v Speaker 1>with NFL type talent last year and one that should

0:38:52.960 --> 0:38:55.160
<v Speaker 1>not have lost to a number of teams that are

0:38:55.200 --> 0:38:57.319
<v Speaker 1>far lesser. So UCLA I would say had a more

0:38:57.320 --> 0:38:59.600
<v Speaker 1>disappointing If I had a vote, I would have gone

0:38:59.600 --> 0:38:59.919
<v Speaker 1>that direction.

0:39:00.200 --> 0:39:02.799
<v Speaker 2>So here's the thing. We do have a vote. It's

0:39:02.800 --> 0:39:04.359
<v Speaker 2>our damn show mm hmm.

0:39:04.440 --> 0:39:05.000
<v Speaker 1>This is true.

0:39:05.400 --> 0:39:08.239
<v Speaker 2>Well, miss also can qualify. We can do whatever we

0:39:08.280 --> 0:39:11.560
<v Speaker 2>want here. So what I'm suggesting, I know you're writing

0:39:11.560 --> 0:39:11.960
<v Speaker 2>these down.

0:39:12.040 --> 0:39:14.279
<v Speaker 1>I know you live by these, these awards. We love

0:39:14.280 --> 0:39:15.120
<v Speaker 1>these awards every year.

0:39:16.040 --> 0:39:18.280
<v Speaker 2>What I'm suggesting is, let's take a good hard look

0:39:19.040 --> 0:39:22.960
<v Speaker 2>at all of these categories after the winners have been announced,

0:39:23.000 --> 0:39:25.280
<v Speaker 2>and then, in true La La land moonlight.

0:39:24.960 --> 0:39:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Fashion, let's just award new ones.

0:39:26.840 --> 0:39:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Let's go back and see if maybe we think another

0:39:29.600 --> 0:39:31.640
<v Speaker 2>candidate is more deserving. Does it have to be a

0:39:31.640 --> 0:39:34.000
<v Speaker 2>candidate on the list could be a UCLA coming out

0:39:34.000 --> 0:39:34.400
<v Speaker 2>of nowhere?

0:39:35.239 --> 0:39:36.359
<v Speaker 1>True, very much.

0:39:36.440 --> 0:39:39.840
<v Speaker 2>We reserve that right here as the founders of the

0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:44.920
<v Speaker 2>solid verbal. We did get some UCLA input here for

0:39:45.000 --> 0:39:47.279
<v Speaker 2>Busts of the Year, not as many as we did

0:39:47.280 --> 0:39:51.520
<v Speaker 2>for the other four. My interpretation there was because Josh

0:39:51.560 --> 0:39:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Rosen was hurt. If Joshsen totally totally reasonable. If he

0:39:57.000 --> 0:39:59.320
<v Speaker 2>hadn't been hurt, UCLA would have been a much stronger

0:39:59.360 --> 0:40:03.600
<v Speaker 2>candidate here. But as it were, he was hurt. Perhaps

0:40:03.600 --> 0:40:08.120
<v Speaker 2>that contributed anyway. Notre Dame, Oregon, Michigan State and TCU

0:40:08.200 --> 0:40:14.160
<v Speaker 2>dim the lights here we go. Twenty seventeen Bust of

0:40:14.200 --> 0:40:15.560
<v Speaker 2>the year goes to.

0:40:18.200 --> 0:40:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame. Oh, Notre Dame.

0:40:23.000 --> 0:40:27.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, four and eight.

0:40:27.920 --> 0:40:31.160
<v Speaker 1>I would be happier about this award as a Notre

0:40:31.239 --> 0:40:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Dame fan than some other ones, because at least this

0:40:33.680 --> 0:40:39.640
<v Speaker 1>implies people held Notre Dame in high regard before the season. Yeah,

0:40:39.680 --> 0:40:44.319
<v Speaker 1>and then disappointed everybody whereas the other you know, not

0:40:44.480 --> 0:40:47.360
<v Speaker 1>coach the year stuff like that. That's just like you

0:40:47.520 --> 0:40:51.719
<v Speaker 1>are bad. Notre Dame is disappointing. Which if you've ever

0:40:51.800 --> 0:40:54.799
<v Speaker 1>come home past curfew, you're not mad, You're disappointed that

0:40:54.880 --> 0:40:57.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of thing. So I think this one's okay. I

0:40:57.560 --> 0:40:59.279
<v Speaker 1>think you can you can sleep well with.

0:40:59.200 --> 0:41:01.960
<v Speaker 2>This one sometimes, Dan, you got a laugh to keep

0:41:02.000 --> 0:41:04.920
<v Speaker 2>from crying. And when you go four and eight, this

0:41:04.960 --> 0:41:05.600
<v Speaker 2>is this is.

0:41:05.560 --> 0:41:06.839
<v Speaker 1>What you get. Mm hmm.

0:41:07.160 --> 0:41:10.720
<v Speaker 2>I will accept this on behalf of the Notre Dame community. Okay,

0:41:11.400 --> 0:41:14.560
<v Speaker 2>here is the bigger question. What do you think the

0:41:14.600 --> 0:41:17.960
<v Speaker 2>spread was? We had four candidates here? What percent of

0:41:18.000 --> 0:41:20.359
<v Speaker 2>the vote did Notre Dame achieve here?

0:41:24.040 --> 0:41:28.759
<v Speaker 1>Forty seven percent? Forty seven percent on the nose? Wow?

0:41:29.320 --> 0:41:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Really is it?

0:41:29.920 --> 0:41:30.200
<v Speaker 3>Really?

0:41:30.360 --> 0:41:32.799
<v Speaker 1>You are correct sir? I did not see I am

0:41:32.840 --> 0:41:35.759
<v Speaker 1>telling you right now. I am looking at an unchecked

0:41:35.840 --> 0:41:38.279
<v Speaker 1>version of our ballots to see do you see three

0:41:38.280 --> 0:41:41.000
<v Speaker 1>of these cards here? I don't. I cannot like it's opaque.

0:41:41.000 --> 0:41:43.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I am not looking forty seven percent. What's

0:41:43.480 --> 0:41:44.880
<v Speaker 1>the net? Who was who came in second?

0:41:45.200 --> 0:41:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Michigan State came in second with forty three point seven percent.

0:41:48.600 --> 0:41:52.160
<v Speaker 2>So Notre Dame forty seven point four, Michigan State second

0:41:52.800 --> 0:41:55.880
<v Speaker 2>forty three point seven, Oregon only six point seven.

0:41:55.719 --> 0:41:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Percent of the vote. That surprises me a little bit. Yeah,

0:41:59.680 --> 0:42:01.960
<v Speaker 1>it's seek to me that if I were to award this,

0:42:02.040 --> 0:42:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I think I would go with Michigan State. It seemed

0:42:04.280 --> 0:42:06.600
<v Speaker 1>like they had a higher ceiling. Like Notre Dame has

0:42:06.640 --> 0:42:09.080
<v Speaker 1>lost some dumb games. Oregon has lost some dumb games.

0:42:09.120 --> 0:42:11.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, they had the huge defensive struggles the year

0:42:11.040 --> 0:42:14.160
<v Speaker 1>before as well. TCU, you know, still in the vicinity

0:42:14.200 --> 0:42:17.000
<v Speaker 1>of five hundred. It makes sense to me Michigan State

0:42:17.120 --> 0:42:19.560
<v Speaker 1>going from the playoff to three wins. I feel like

0:42:19.640 --> 0:42:23.120
<v Speaker 1>that is the most precipitous decline that would have been

0:42:23.160 --> 0:42:25.040
<v Speaker 1>my vote Notre Dame.

0:42:25.320 --> 0:42:28.959
<v Speaker 2>So if you count the Brian Kelly victory before, that's

0:42:29.000 --> 0:42:29.799
<v Speaker 2>two for Notreed.

0:42:29.880 --> 0:42:31.680
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna take one of those pictures in the green

0:42:31.760 --> 0:42:34.640
<v Speaker 1>room juggling his Verbie Awards like Alicia Keys does at

0:42:34.640 --> 0:42:38.160
<v Speaker 1>the Grammys. I like that we.

0:42:38.160 --> 0:42:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Still got Notre Dame stank. We still got Notre Dame's

0:42:40.560 --> 0:42:43.200
<v Speaker 2>four to eight seasons. So potentially a big night. Maybe

0:42:43.560 --> 0:42:45.640
<v Speaker 2>maybe as many wins on Verbie Night as there were

0:42:45.640 --> 0:42:48.399
<v Speaker 2>the whole regular season. Gotta win at some point, Toy

0:42:48.480 --> 0:42:52.839
<v Speaker 2>get that w Moving on Losing Effort of the Year,

0:42:53.239 --> 0:42:57.520
<v Speaker 2>Losing effort of the year, one of our crowd favorites, Yeah,

0:42:57.560 --> 0:43:00.400
<v Speaker 2>one of our crowd favorites. Would you like to explain

0:43:01.120 --> 0:43:02.799
<v Speaker 2>the genesis of losing effort in?

0:43:03.560 --> 0:43:06.239
<v Speaker 1>Losing Effort of the Year originally came out when we

0:43:06.360 --> 0:43:09.440
<v Speaker 1>kept saying week after week Nick Foles had four hundred

0:43:09.480 --> 0:43:11.920
<v Speaker 1>and seventy two yards, five touchdowns, and one pick in

0:43:11.960 --> 0:43:15.160
<v Speaker 1>a losing effort because Arizona kept getting great performances from

0:43:15.280 --> 0:43:18.640
<v Speaker 1>former quarterback Nick Foles and kept wasting them. So we

0:43:18.680 --> 0:43:21.480
<v Speaker 1>found ourselves saying that so much that we created Nick

0:43:21.480 --> 0:43:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Foles in a losing effort and then have subsequently awarded

0:43:24.360 --> 0:43:27.879
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks or other players who have put up Gotti's statlines

0:43:27.880 --> 0:43:33.160
<v Speaker 1>and huge games without also accruing a win. So we

0:43:33.239 --> 0:43:36.920
<v Speaker 1>award the person who is able to. I know, like

0:43:37.160 --> 0:43:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Royce Freeman was nominated last year for his performance against

0:43:39.920 --> 0:43:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Washington States. So it's either a season long tribute or

0:43:44.080 --> 0:43:47.000
<v Speaker 1>a single game tribute to a great performance without the

0:43:47.160 --> 0:43:54.200
<v Speaker 1>w This year brought extraordinary circumstances. Oh, I like this.

0:43:55.440 --> 0:43:58.919
<v Speaker 1>There was one candidate for a Losing Effort of the Year,

0:43:59.760 --> 0:44:02.880
<v Speaker 1>like a Lifetime Achievement award, in this case, one candidate

0:44:03.320 --> 0:44:05.200
<v Speaker 1>for Losing Effort of the Year. The way that we

0:44:05.320 --> 0:44:10.920
<v Speaker 1>go out there and solicit feedback on these awards, we

0:44:11.640 --> 0:44:15.040
<v Speaker 1>have a free response Google form and we tell our

0:44:15.080 --> 0:44:18.680
<v Speaker 1>fans to go out there and submit your submit your nominations.

0:44:19.520 --> 0:44:23.640
<v Speaker 1>There were a few others outside of Patrick Mahomes that

0:44:23.719 --> 0:44:27.680
<v Speaker 1>came in, but generally, what you're looking for, if I'm

0:44:27.680 --> 0:44:32.040
<v Speaker 1>being honest, you're looking for repeats, You're looking for trends.

0:44:32.040 --> 0:44:36.160
<v Speaker 1>You're looking for where the most momentum is among some

0:44:36.239 --> 0:44:39.160
<v Speaker 1>of this feedback. And though there might have been a

0:44:39.200 --> 0:44:42.120
<v Speaker 1>few stragglers here and there might have had a Deshaun

0:44:42.200 --> 0:44:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Kaiser right, I don't know why, but it might have

0:44:45.040 --> 0:44:48.279
<v Speaker 1>had it. Deshaun Kaiser might have had a few other

0:44:48.400 --> 0:44:52.840
<v Speaker 1>names here and there. Patrick Mahomes was overwhelmingly logan woodside

0:44:52.840 --> 0:44:57.120
<v Speaker 1>against BYU, we had a logan woodside shirt. Patrick Mahomes

0:44:57.160 --> 0:44:59.879
<v Speaker 1>is far and away the most nominated for losing Effort

0:45:00.120 --> 0:45:01.680
<v Speaker 1>the year. It has to be.

0:45:02.040 --> 0:45:05.839
<v Speaker 2>And given the fact that Texas Tech was also in

0:45:05.880 --> 0:45:08.920
<v Speaker 2>on this for Half Team of the Year, I started

0:45:08.920 --> 0:45:12.759
<v Speaker 2>thinking to myself, perhaps Patrick Mahomes should be the only

0:45:12.800 --> 0:45:15.800
<v Speaker 2>candidate here. You could make a case that Patrick Mahomes

0:45:15.800 --> 0:45:19.600
<v Speaker 2>could have been Half Team of the Year. Yeah, but

0:45:19.600 --> 0:45:22.759
<v Speaker 2>Patrick Mahomes far and away was the only candidate that

0:45:22.840 --> 0:45:27.280
<v Speaker 2>I felt worthy of putting in this category. So, Daniel

0:45:28.320 --> 0:45:35.600
<v Speaker 2>dim the Lights, your twenty seventeen Verbie Award winner for

0:45:35.760 --> 0:45:39.839
<v Speaker 2>Losing Effort of the Year, is you already know it's

0:45:39.880 --> 0:45:44.279
<v Speaker 2>Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes, congratulations. Oh yeah, like you said,

0:45:44.360 --> 0:45:46.280
<v Speaker 2>maybe more of a lifetime achievement award.

0:45:46.320 --> 0:45:49.360
<v Speaker 1>But one hundred percent of the vote. Isn't that what

0:45:49.400 --> 0:45:52.920
<v Speaker 1>they gave Jackie Chan this year? The oscars one hundred

0:45:52.920 --> 0:45:54.719
<v Speaker 1>percent of the vote or Losing Effort of the Year

0:45:55.760 --> 0:45:59.319
<v Speaker 1>just an honorary lifetime achievement just because Jackie Chan is

0:45:59.440 --> 0:46:03.080
<v Speaker 1>very much a Patrick Mahomes and ty Hildon Brandt type.

0:46:03.680 --> 0:46:05.919
<v Speaker 1>So Patrick Mahomes, I have his stat lines in front

0:46:05.960 --> 0:46:07.680
<v Speaker 1>of me, and if you watch Patrick Mahomes at all,

0:46:07.680 --> 0:46:10.120
<v Speaker 1>you know he was one of the clear most entertaining

0:46:10.120 --> 0:46:13.719
<v Speaker 1>players of the twenty sixteen twenty fifteen season as a

0:46:13.800 --> 0:46:16.960
<v Speaker 1>dual threat quarterback for Texas Tech. Here's his touchdown to

0:46:16.960 --> 0:46:20.560
<v Speaker 1>interception ratio by game four to zero, five to two,

0:46:20.640 --> 0:46:22.680
<v Speaker 1>five to zero, four to one, two to one, one

0:46:22.719 --> 0:46:24.680
<v Speaker 1>to one, five to one, two to one, three to one,

0:46:24.719 --> 0:46:27.680
<v Speaker 1>three to zero, one to two, and then finally against

0:46:27.680 --> 0:46:32.879
<v Speaker 1>Baylor with fifty points and a win six to zero. Damn.

0:46:33.120 --> 0:46:37.040
<v Speaker 1>He threw four over five thousand yards, completed sixty five

0:46:37.080 --> 0:46:40.080
<v Speaker 1>percent of his passes, had a final touchdown interception ratio

0:46:40.120 --> 0:46:43.160
<v Speaker 1>of forty one to ten, had eight and a half

0:46:43.239 --> 0:46:47.359
<v Speaker 1>yards per attempt, and completed three hundred and eighty eight

0:46:47.440 --> 0:46:49.520
<v Speaker 1>of five hundred and ninety one. He threw the ball

0:46:49.600 --> 0:46:55.080
<v Speaker 1>nearly six hundred times in twelve games, Wow, which is absurd,

0:46:55.200 --> 0:46:59.279
<v Speaker 1>and did everything he could, made some ridiculous throws. If

0:46:59.280 --> 0:47:01.319
<v Speaker 1>you are going to look back at like the ten

0:47:01.480 --> 0:47:04.680
<v Speaker 1>best dimes of the year, the ten just other worldly

0:47:04.719 --> 0:47:06.799
<v Speaker 1>passes of the twenty sixteen seats, and he might have

0:47:06.880 --> 0:47:09.040
<v Speaker 1>three or four of them. He was that good and

0:47:09.080 --> 0:47:12.040
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately Texas Tech put together a half of a team,

0:47:12.239 --> 0:47:15.880
<v Speaker 1>like we've already mentioned. So Patrick Mahomes, we salute you

0:47:16.080 --> 0:47:20.200
<v Speaker 1>for your efforts, even if they were in losing situations.

0:47:20.360 --> 0:47:24.160
<v Speaker 2>Patrick Mahomes was eighty percent of that half team, I'd say, yeah,

0:47:24.239 --> 0:47:27.879
<v Speaker 2>if not more a worthy candidate if we've ever had

0:47:27.880 --> 0:47:31.000
<v Speaker 2>one for a losing effort of the year one of

0:47:31.000 --> 0:47:33.479
<v Speaker 2>the vote. Perhaps a little engineering to get him there,

0:47:34.280 --> 0:47:38.160
<v Speaker 2>but alas, congratulations Patrick Mahomes. Congratulations in Texas Tech now

0:47:39.040 --> 0:47:42.560
<v Speaker 2>tied equally with Notre Dame for most successful night here.

0:47:43.000 --> 0:47:47.200
<v Speaker 1>So Kingsberry's with the Alicia Keys, juggling the verbies in

0:47:47.280 --> 0:47:49.640
<v Speaker 1>his arms on the red carpet in the green room.

0:47:49.680 --> 0:47:53.560
<v Speaker 1>I like that. Moving on, let's get to another crowd

0:47:53.560 --> 0:48:02.400
<v Speaker 1>favorite name of the year. Name of the Year. Wow,

0:48:03.640 --> 0:48:05.040
<v Speaker 1>this one's pretty impossible.

0:48:05.400 --> 0:48:09.880
<v Speaker 2>This is a thankless and impossible list of candidates to

0:48:09.960 --> 0:48:14.120
<v Speaker 2>pull together every year. Every year you get a ton

0:48:14.960 --> 0:48:20.239
<v Speaker 2>of suggestions for name of the year. My hunch is

0:48:20.280 --> 0:48:22.239
<v Speaker 2>that I know where this one is headed, but I

0:48:22.280 --> 0:48:25.440
<v Speaker 2>have not looked at it yet. And the other cool

0:48:25.480 --> 0:48:28.120
<v Speaker 2>thing about this category is that a lot of times

0:48:28.160 --> 0:48:31.759
<v Speaker 2>you can see him coming, you know, like a year

0:48:33.000 --> 0:48:33.560
<v Speaker 2>in advance.

0:48:33.600 --> 0:48:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Who's going to be who's going to be in You

0:48:36.680 --> 0:48:40.319
<v Speaker 1>see him coming up through the recruiting world. Absolutely absolutely so.

0:48:40.520 --> 0:48:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Like for example, Kobe Buffalo Meat is the name of

0:48:45.120 --> 0:48:47.320
<v Speaker 2>a recruit for what was it, Illinois State.

0:48:48.800 --> 0:48:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he ended up at Illinois State. There was also

0:48:50.960 --> 0:48:52.000
<v Speaker 1>a good Kansas player.

0:48:52.080 --> 0:48:56.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Kobe Buffalo Meat is a real player's name. I

0:48:56.360 --> 0:48:59.680
<v Speaker 2>believe going to Illinois State. Maybe he's from the state

0:48:59.680 --> 0:49:01.560
<v Speaker 2>of Cams and he's going Illinois State. I think that's

0:49:01.600 --> 0:49:03.360
<v Speaker 2>what it is. Yeah, he is going to be in

0:49:03.440 --> 0:49:05.960
<v Speaker 2>this category next year. But seeing as how he was

0:49:06.080 --> 0:49:10.480
<v Speaker 2>just a recruit, how he didn't actually play, he can't.

0:49:10.760 --> 0:49:12.640
<v Speaker 2>He can't qualify for Name of the Year this year.

0:49:13.680 --> 0:49:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Here are the nominees. Got five good ones from BYU.

0:49:18.560 --> 0:49:24.640
<v Speaker 2>We've got Squally Canada real name, Squally Canada. Love it

0:49:25.320 --> 0:49:27.920
<v Speaker 2>from Michigan Taco Charlton.

0:49:28.600 --> 0:49:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmmmmm. A good player could be a first round,

0:49:31.480 --> 0:49:35.760
<v Speaker 1>second round pick. Man Berg man.

0:49:35.520 --> 0:49:39.239
<v Speaker 2>Berg real name from Illinois man Burg A man, B, E,

0:49:39.360 --> 0:49:42.120
<v Speaker 2>R G, two syllables. A lot of punch there.

0:49:42.680 --> 0:49:46.560
<v Speaker 1>That's so if if you're gonna call your genitals the

0:49:46.600 --> 0:49:49.040
<v Speaker 1>sexy Titanic, that you know what they're crashing into ty,

<v Speaker 1>the man Burg. That's right, the man Burg.

<v Speaker 2>We've also got a lion king from eastern Michigan. Yep,

0:49:54.400 --> 0:49:58.120
<v Speaker 2>of course we do real name lion king. And then

0:49:58.160 --> 0:50:01.760
<v Speaker 2>we've also got another Notre Dame nominee, which I forgot

0:50:01.760 --> 0:50:05.600
<v Speaker 2>to mention. Actually five chances here to get another.

0:50:05.400 --> 0:50:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Bite at the apple. Mm hmm.

0:50:07.320 --> 0:50:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Equanimius Saint Brown EQ big tall, speedy, wide receiver, Notre

0:50:12.239 --> 0:50:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Dame number one threat this past year strikes me as

0:50:17.000 --> 0:50:21.719
<v Speaker 2>a Taco Charlton type in that he could be a

0:50:21.960 --> 0:50:26.040
<v Speaker 2>multiple time nominee for this award movie. Okay, has at

0:50:26.120 --> 0:50:28.960
<v Speaker 2>least another year at Notre Dame esb.

0:50:30.360 --> 0:50:33.759
<v Speaker 1>Ty. I'm going to ask him, going to deposit this

0:50:34.040 --> 0:50:37.239
<v Speaker 1>as cleanly as I can. What name do you just

0:50:37.239 --> 0:50:39.879
<v Speaker 1>want to say out loud right now? Is what will

0:50:39.920 --> 0:50:42.680
<v Speaker 1>be the most pleasing for you to say out loud

0:50:42.680 --> 0:50:44.520
<v Speaker 1>of these five names, because I think that is where

0:50:44.640 --> 0:50:46.880
<v Speaker 1>anybody voting, that's where their brain should go. What do

0:50:46.920 --> 0:50:48.640
<v Speaker 1>I want to say out loud of all these names?

0:50:48.880 --> 0:50:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Equanimius Saint Brown. See, I'm man Burg. I will say

0:50:52.120 --> 0:50:55.920

<v Speaker 2>Description of it had we known it sooner could have

0:51:01.000 --> 0:51:05.919
<v Speaker 2>swung things in favor of man Berg. Perhaps, Okay, dim

0:51:05.960 --> 0:51:11.279
<v Speaker 2>the lights drum roll please twenty seventeen Name of the Year.

0:51:13.520 --> 0:51:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Hard to go against Lion King, Dan, Wow, of course

0:51:17.920 --> 0:51:21.920
<v Speaker 1>everything the light touches will someday be yours. Hard to

0:51:22.000 --> 0:51:27.080
<v Speaker 1>go against Lion King. Close voting, five way voting. Manberg

0:51:27.200 --> 0:51:31.680
<v Speaker 1>came in last, Dan, that's unbelievable to me, five point

0:51:31.760 --> 0:51:36.719
<v Speaker 1>two percent. Squally Canada came in fourth with eleven point six,

0:51:37.400 --> 0:51:42.319
<v Speaker 1>Taco Charlton with twenty four point four, ESB twenty eight

0:51:42.320 --> 0:51:47.799
<v Speaker 1>point one, and Lion King not much separation, but two

0:51:47.840 --> 0:51:50.640
<v Speaker 1>and a half percent got him to thirty point six percent,

0:51:51.480 --> 0:51:54.560
<v Speaker 1>got him his first ever Name of the Year verb

0:51:54.600 --> 0:51:57.719
<v Speaker 1>be congratulations Lion King. Yeah, and perhaps Michigan will have

0:51:57.760 --> 0:51:59.719
<v Speaker 1>a nominee next year. I mean he played for the

0:51:59.719 --> 0:52:03.839
<v Speaker 1>World or in the twenty sixteen but Eddie McDoom hard

0:52:03.840 --> 0:52:06.480
<v Speaker 1>to discount. But Taco Charlton certainly the better of the

0:52:06.480 --> 0:52:09.160
<v Speaker 1>two Michigan names. Did you, by the way, see the

0:52:09.239 --> 0:52:11.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven team Name of the Year bracket? I did.

0:52:11.640 --> 0:52:13.520
<v Speaker 1>That was on dead Spin and any of the I

0:52:13.560 --> 0:52:16.239
<v Speaker 1>have it in front of me. Kobe, he's a number

0:52:16.239 --> 0:52:19.319
<v Speaker 1>one seed. He's a one seed. Marmaduke Treblecock is a

0:52:19.320 --> 0:52:24.560
<v Speaker 1>one seed. Quindarius Monday's a one seed. Chardonnay Pantastico is

0:52:24.600 --> 0:52:29.840
<v Speaker 1>a one seed. But alpha McMath alpha McMath alpha McMath

0:52:30.000 --> 0:52:34.520
<v Speaker 1>and tuts Honey Church with a nearly impossible I mean

0:52:34.520 --> 0:52:37.440
<v Speaker 1>they'd meet in the second round of that. There are

0:52:37.640 --> 0:52:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Taco dibbitts Aphrodite body comb is hard to overlook, Luigi Villain,

0:52:43.400 --> 0:52:46.440
<v Speaker 1>who I believe is a college football player, and incoming

0:52:46.440 --> 0:52:51.080
<v Speaker 1>college football recruits. Luigi's Villain because Luigi Villain, if you

0:52:51.200 --> 0:52:54.600
<v Speaker 1>subscribe to the way the Mario Universe works, would be

0:52:54.640 --> 0:52:58.160
<v Speaker 1>known as Ja Luigi, right, Yeah, that's right. Yeah so

0:52:58.600 --> 0:53:01.320
<v Speaker 1>and naquees Pringle another great one in there. So I

0:53:01.320 --> 0:53:03.520
<v Speaker 1>would encourage everybody to google Name of the Year ted

0:53:03.560 --> 0:53:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Spin because they have a terrific bracket.

0:53:05.960 --> 0:53:09.040
<v Speaker 2>The last five winners of the Name of the Year

0:53:09.080 --> 0:53:10.640
<v Speaker 2>bracket go to the Name of the Year dot com.

0:53:10.640 --> 0:53:12.839
<v Speaker 2>You can read up on this. Yes, we've actually talked

0:53:12.880 --> 0:53:14.520
<v Speaker 2>to these guys. At some point, we should have more

0:53:14.960 --> 0:53:17.360
<v Speaker 2>to talk about what's going on in college football.

0:53:17.360 --> 0:53:22.560
<v Speaker 1>But Dallas Creamer, we've got Taco b m Monster mm hmm.

0:53:22.800 --> 0:53:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh In Alzheimer, Leo, Moses sporn Star, yep, Seamus beagle Hole.

0:53:29.560 --> 0:53:34.800
<v Speaker 1>My favorite in twenty fifteen was Amanda Miranda Panda, and

0:53:34.800 --> 0:53:38.560
<v Speaker 1>then last year it was Pope McCorkle the third. Let

0:53:38.560 --> 0:53:40.520
<v Speaker 1>me tell you who's a seventh seed in the Boltron

0:53:40.600 --> 0:53:46.839
<v Speaker 1>region this year, ty h King Buttermore the third. By

0:53:46.840 --> 0:53:48.919
<v Speaker 1>the way, and this is going, I mean just further

0:53:49.000 --> 0:53:53.920
<v Speaker 1>veering off topic, but did you see somebody posted the

0:53:54.040 --> 0:53:56.799
<v Speaker 1>made up names that were in some nes video game

0:53:57.320 --> 0:53:59.400
<v Speaker 1>of I don't know if it was Bases Loaded. It

0:53:59.480 --> 0:54:02.399
<v Speaker 1>was one of those old baseball games that didn't have

0:54:02.440 --> 0:54:06.279
<v Speaker 1>the licensing rights to MLB player names. So some poor

0:54:06.400 --> 0:54:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Japanese guy or gal was forced to think about what

0:54:10.680 --> 0:54:14.960
<v Speaker 1>would a ton of made up American names be for

0:54:15.160 --> 0:54:19.040
<v Speaker 1>a baseball game? And it makes no sense and it's wonderful.

0:54:19.360 --> 0:54:22.319
<v Speaker 1>It is extraordinary, and I suggest you look it up

0:54:22.360 --> 0:54:25.719
<v Speaker 1>because it's it's American names that are just slightly off.

0:54:26.360 --> 0:54:30.839
<v Speaker 1>So instead of like Johnson, it's like Dwight Monson. It's

0:54:31.000 --> 0:54:34.920
<v Speaker 1>just it's at the same time very considerate and very lazy,

0:54:35.080 --> 0:54:36.799
<v Speaker 1>which is a standard we hold ourselves to.

0:54:37.600 --> 0:54:42.359
<v Speaker 2>Great congratulations to Lion King m hmm. Absolutely moving on

0:54:42.480 --> 0:54:45.799
<v Speaker 2>three more to go. Here is one to me, Dan

0:54:45.960 --> 0:54:51.040
<v Speaker 2>that is of personal significance. Here random fact to it

0:54:51.440 --> 0:54:56.000
<v Speaker 2>that malely interests Tom Hammond of the year. Random factoid

0:54:56.000 --> 0:54:58.040
<v Speaker 2>that malely interest Tom Hammond of the year. So here

0:54:58.200 --> 0:55:01.719
<v Speaker 2>is Here is how this award started. I've always had

0:55:01.719 --> 0:55:03.200
<v Speaker 2>this beef with Tom Hammond.

0:55:05.040 --> 0:55:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Mister GPA.

0:55:06.040 --> 0:55:08.560
<v Speaker 2>As a Notre Dame fan, I was accustomed to him

0:55:08.600 --> 0:55:12.319
<v Speaker 2>calling games on NBC for Notre Dame. He would pull

0:55:12.360 --> 0:55:17.520
<v Speaker 2>this stunt where it'd be a critical game situation, fourth quarter,

0:55:18.160 --> 0:55:21.920
<v Speaker 2>third quarter, could be any quarter, but a critical game situation,

0:55:23.080 --> 0:55:25.799
<v Speaker 2>and he would always take that opportunity, at least once

0:55:25.840 --> 0:55:30.239
<v Speaker 2>a game to introduce the most random factoid that had

0:55:30.239 --> 0:55:32.720
<v Speaker 2>nothing to do with anything. Oftentimes it was a GPA

0:55:33.440 --> 0:55:37.359
<v Speaker 2>or someone's college roommate or someone's major, just something that

0:55:37.440 --> 0:55:40.600
<v Speaker 2>didn't fit with the scenario, and it always bothered me.

0:55:41.320 --> 0:55:44.319
<v Speaker 1>It always bothered me. Well, it's a baseball broadcaster, move right.

0:55:44.320 --> 0:55:46.759
<v Speaker 1>They're the ones that are putting in so much time

0:55:46.800 --> 0:55:49.440
<v Speaker 1>because they have so much air to phil something between

0:55:49.480 --> 0:55:51.640
<v Speaker 1>two to two the count looking at first, but like

0:55:51.760 --> 0:55:54.960
<v Speaker 1>there's just so little to say as it relates to

0:55:55.000 --> 0:55:57.680
<v Speaker 1>a baseball game that announcers are oftentimes, and I believe

0:55:57.719 --> 0:56:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Tom Hammond does multiple sports. It's just track. There's all

0:56:00.640 --> 0:56:03.319
<v Speaker 1>sorts of Olympics stuff for horse racing, yep. That it's

0:56:03.400 --> 0:56:07.560
<v Speaker 1>natural for them to try to insert context and character

0:56:07.640 --> 0:56:10.479
<v Speaker 1>and color into their broadcast. But football moves a little

0:56:10.480 --> 0:56:14.400
<v Speaker 1>bit quicker, and there are heightened moments of drama where

0:56:14.520 --> 0:56:18.080
<v Speaker 1>perhaps you shouldn't know who Colt McCoy's roommate is, or

0:56:18.160 --> 0:56:22.399
<v Speaker 1>you shouldn't know exactly how tall brock Osweiler is at

0:56:22.440 --> 0:56:23.880
<v Speaker 1>all times of a game.

0:56:24.040 --> 0:56:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I would describe it as Vince Scully minus all

0:56:27.600 --> 0:56:31.120
<v Speaker 2>of the charm. Yeah. Vin Scully does it perfectly exactly.

0:56:32.160 --> 0:56:34.480
<v Speaker 2>So here we are random fact with that mainly interests

0:56:34.480 --> 0:56:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Tom Hammon. We've got three great candidates here. The first

0:56:38.920 --> 0:56:41.240
<v Speaker 2>one I forgot about, and as a Penn State alum,

0:56:41.239 --> 0:56:42.279
<v Speaker 2>I probably should have been.

0:56:42.239 --> 0:56:45.560
<v Speaker 1>All over this, but this was a.

0:56:44.680 --> 0:56:48.439
<v Speaker 2>Popular submission on our form. Did you know that Trace

0:56:48.520 --> 0:56:51.280
<v Speaker 2>McSorley played in four state championship games in high school?

0:56:51.719 --> 0:56:54.640
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't be very honest with you, ty, I did

0:56:54.640 --> 0:56:58.480
<v Speaker 1>not know that played in four state championship games.

0:56:58.719 --> 0:57:02.120
<v Speaker 2>It was a popular talking point during many a Penn

0:57:02.120 --> 0:57:04.480
<v Speaker 2>State football games, the announcers would bring this up all this,

0:57:04.800 --> 0:57:07.000
<v Speaker 2>especially once Penn State went on its run after they

0:57:07.000 --> 0:57:10.359
<v Speaker 2>lost to Michigan and then got it together and ripped

0:57:10.400 --> 0:57:12.360
<v Speaker 2>off a bunch of wins in a row. This was

0:57:12.400 --> 0:57:15.480
<v Speaker 2>a popular talking point. This kid's a winner. Did you

0:57:15.560 --> 0:57:17.840
<v Speaker 2>know he played in four state championship games in high school?

0:57:18.280 --> 0:57:21.040
<v Speaker 1>That sort of thing. Uh, yeah, most of my pen's

0:57:21.040 --> 0:57:24.600
<v Speaker 1>stay watching was on a muted TV fair ne I

0:57:24.640 --> 0:57:26.760
<v Speaker 1>apologies not to volume TV, I understand. Yeah.

0:57:26.920 --> 0:57:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, second candidate, here is Jim Harbaugh drinking milk with

0:57:32.080 --> 0:57:32.560
<v Speaker 2>his steak.

0:57:33.000 --> 0:57:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and just milk in general. The love he has

0:57:35.400 --> 0:57:38.920
<v Speaker 1>a sponsorship, a milk sponsorship now right, a milk sponsorship,

0:57:38.960 --> 0:57:42.240
<v Speaker 1>I believe. Yeah, he went into overdrive. Yeah, I'm not

0:57:42.280 --> 0:57:44.160
<v Speaker 1>sure how I feel about this one. I'm a little

0:57:44.240 --> 0:57:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Jim Harbaugh out. It's not really a factoid anymore because

0:57:48.800 --> 0:57:51.320
<v Speaker 1>they've all been hit over the head with it, even

0:57:51.360 --> 0:57:52.200
<v Speaker 1>outside of games.

0:57:52.240 --> 0:57:55.560
<v Speaker 2>Also, I questioned a little bit whether or not this

0:57:55.680 --> 0:57:59.480
<v Speaker 2>qualifies because this whole thing started by him tweeting out

0:57:59.480 --> 0:58:03.600
<v Speaker 2>a picture or a picture of him circulating after he

0:58:03.640 --> 0:58:06.840
<v Speaker 2>went to the steakhouse and had milk with the steak. Right,

0:58:07.040 --> 0:58:09.680
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't like an announcer dug this up and then

0:58:09.680 --> 0:58:13.120
<v Speaker 2>inserted it into a broadcast. It just kind of inserted

0:58:13.160 --> 0:58:14.720
<v Speaker 2>itself onto the internet.

0:58:15.280 --> 0:58:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Not a good year. As for people's steak preferences, notable

0:58:18.560 --> 0:58:21.680
<v Speaker 1>people's steak preference is becoming public, including I mean, I'm

0:58:21.720 --> 0:58:24.080
<v Speaker 1>not notable, but my disdain of steakhouses.

0:58:24.120 --> 0:58:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Finally, Sam Darnold, did you know had a grandfather by

0:58:27.720 --> 0:58:29.040
<v Speaker 2>the name of dick Hammer.

0:58:30.040 --> 0:58:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Dick Hammer was the Marlborough man Dan. Yeah, dick Hammer

0:58:33.520 --> 0:58:37.600
<v Speaker 1>best friends with Mannberg. This is a tough one to beat. Yeah,

0:58:37.960 --> 0:58:43.080
<v Speaker 1>I think see. I think the Sam Darnold factoid best

0:58:43.880 --> 0:58:46.600
<v Speaker 1>fits under the random factoid that may only interest Tom

0:58:46.640 --> 0:58:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Hammond of the year because it's the most random trace.

0:58:50.480 --> 0:58:53.200
<v Speaker 1>McSorley playing in championship games makes sense. He's a good quarterback.

0:58:53.680 --> 0:58:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Jim Harbaugh drinking milk with his steak makes sense because

0:58:56.640 --> 0:58:59.919
<v Speaker 1>he's certifiably out of his mind and will do dumb

0:59:00.120 --> 0:59:04.720
<v Speaker 1>things like that because milk is also bad. So Sam

0:59:04.800 --> 0:59:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Donald's grandfather being a famous in a certain way individual

0:59:08.720 --> 0:59:11.080
<v Speaker 1>I think fits the award is the spirit of the

0:59:11.120 --> 0:59:15.160
<v Speaker 1>award more than the other two. In the lights here

0:59:15.160 --> 0:59:17.560
<v Speaker 1>we got drum roll please random.

0:59:17.280 --> 0:59:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Fact with him Ali Interest, Tom Hammond of the Year

0:59:19.400 --> 0:59:21.160
<v Speaker 2>twenty sixteen seventeen.

0:59:22.920 --> 0:59:26.520
<v Speaker 3>Sam Donald, Yeah, yeah, Sam Donald.

0:59:27.000 --> 0:59:32.240
<v Speaker 2>His grandfather Dick Hammer aka the Marlborough Man, achieved sixty

0:59:32.560 --> 0:59:37.760
<v Speaker 2>three point two percent of the vote. Dan Wow sixty

0:59:37.760 --> 0:59:41.919
<v Speaker 2>three point two percent, followed a distant second by Jim

0:59:41.960 --> 0:59:45.200
<v Speaker 2>Harbaugh drinking milk with his steake twenty nine point nine

0:59:45.240 --> 0:59:49.640
<v Speaker 2>percent and Trace McSorley bringing up the rear six point

0:59:49.720 --> 0:59:50.320
<v Speaker 2>nine percent.

0:59:51.160 --> 0:59:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Not a lot of people dig in the Trace

0:59:52.920 --> 0:59:55.680
<v Speaker 1>mcsory thing. But Sam Donald's, if you've paid any attention,

0:59:56.040 --> 0:59:59.160
<v Speaker 1>is the is a surefire Hall of Famer. That's what

0:59:59.200 --> 1:00:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I've learned. That's in the off season. I'm already saying

1:00:02.120 --> 1:00:05.720
<v Speaker 1>the tweets that like NFL Scouts are already saying, so

1:00:05.800 --> 1:00:08.880
<v Speaker 1>he's the new Josh Rosen, new Josh Rosen. We must

1:00:08.880 --> 1:00:10.040
<v Speaker 1>move quickly. Two more.

1:00:10.360 --> 1:00:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Here we go, big ones. We got big ones left here.

1:00:13.200 --> 1:00:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Danv on.

1:00:17.240 --> 1:00:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Tire Fire of the Year. Very sad music there. Yeah,

1:00:26.400 --> 1:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>how does what is a tire fire to you? Ty?

1:00:29.600 --> 1:00:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Because your name is already right there in the award.

1:00:31.480 --> 1:00:34.360
<v Speaker 1>It's right there in the award tire Fire.

1:00:35.200 --> 1:00:37.160
<v Speaker 2>We also have a bust of the Year award. We

1:00:37.200 --> 1:00:41.919
<v Speaker 2>also have a worst year back. We've got some other

1:00:42.040 --> 1:00:44.520
<v Speaker 2>things that kind of beat around the bush. But tire

1:00:44.560 --> 1:00:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Fire of the Year it's more situational.

1:00:47.200 --> 1:00:48.400
<v Speaker 1>I'd say it's.

1:00:48.240 --> 1:00:53.600
<v Speaker 2>More situational and to me, like last year, the classic

1:00:53.680 --> 1:00:59.960
<v Speaker 2>example was LSU's botched firing of Less Miles, very situational,

1:01:01.000 --> 1:01:06.120
<v Speaker 2>very public, and just poorly organized. Something you would define

1:01:06.160 --> 1:01:09.320
<v Speaker 2>as a mess, but more of a mess, something more

1:01:09.360 --> 1:01:12.680
<v Speaker 2>emphatic than just being a mess. Oh, how about a

1:01:12.840 --> 1:01:19.960
<v Speaker 2>giant warming perhaps burning pile of rubber tires. Yes, we've

1:01:20.000 --> 1:01:26.040
<v Speaker 2>got five awesome candidates here. I'm not sure how I

1:01:26.080 --> 1:01:29.040
<v Speaker 2>feel about two of them.

1:01:29.560 --> 1:01:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I feel that there's some overlap with at least one

1:01:34.320 --> 1:01:38.200
<v Speaker 1>to three of them agreed, agreed, But this is what

1:01:38.240 --> 1:01:40.160
<v Speaker 1>we got. But this is sort of like at the

1:01:40.200 --> 1:01:42.480
<v Speaker 1>same time the Grammys give out, and I know there's

1:01:42.520 --> 1:01:44.640
<v Speaker 1>a difference, Like it's like Song of the Year and

1:01:44.720 --> 1:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Album of the Year, and one of them is for

1:01:46.040 --> 1:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>the performer and one of them is for the writer

1:01:48.800 --> 1:01:51.080
<v Speaker 1>of the song, I believe, So there is like a

1:01:51.120 --> 1:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>slight difference. So Bust of the Year is, you know,

1:01:53.720 --> 1:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>for expectations. Tire Fire of the Year is for say,

1:01:59.240 --> 1:02:04.360
<v Speaker 1>just can assistent awful presence in the college football universe,

1:02:04.840 --> 1:02:06.920
<v Speaker 1>which again, that's the standard. We hold ourselves to, a

1:02:06.920 --> 1:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>consistent awful presence in the college football universe.

1:02:09.240 --> 1:02:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Very much, So, yes, thank you. We've got three candidates

1:02:12.200 --> 1:02:16.840
<v Speaker 2>here that deal with a really bad situation throughout the

1:02:16.840 --> 1:02:19.680
<v Speaker 2>course of a football season, and then we've got two

1:02:20.600 --> 1:02:23.800
<v Speaker 2>that deal with something that's more targeted, a little bit

1:02:23.840 --> 1:02:28.480
<v Speaker 2>more focused. So the three seasonal nominees here are Notre

1:02:28.560 --> 1:02:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Dame's four to eight season. Okay, obviously a worthy contender. Again,

1:02:32.400 --> 1:02:35.520
<v Speaker 2>what does tire fire mean to you? A bit subjective.

1:02:35.960 --> 1:02:40.120
<v Speaker 2>We've also got Florida's offense and Texas Tech defense pretty

1:02:40.160 --> 1:02:43.760
<v Speaker 2>much a direct spinoff from what we saw in half

1:02:43.760 --> 1:02:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Team of the Year a little earlier on in the show.

1:02:46.320 --> 1:02:49.360
<v Speaker 2>So Notre Dame going four to eight, Florida's offense, Texas

1:02:49.360 --> 1:02:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Tech defense. The two situational plays are the Big twelve

1:02:54.080 --> 1:02:59.000
<v Speaker 2>expansion plans. Oh and the playoff semi final blowouts.

1:02:59.040 --> 1:03:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:03:01.720 --> 1:03:04.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't know which of those two I would pick,

1:03:05.520 --> 1:03:08.120
<v Speaker 2>but those are my top two for me. It is

1:03:08.160 --> 1:03:09.040
<v Speaker 2>more situational.

1:03:09.440 --> 1:03:13.240
<v Speaker 1>I would go with the playoff blowouts just because of

1:03:13.560 --> 1:03:16.800
<v Speaker 1>the expectations for high quality football given that these were

1:03:16.960 --> 1:03:19.960
<v Speaker 1>arguably at the moment, considered to be the best four

1:03:19.960 --> 1:03:22.200
<v Speaker 1>teams in the country. Notre Dame's four and eighth season

1:03:23.160 --> 1:03:26.600
<v Speaker 1>was fun and I think sort of lifted the spirits

1:03:26.600 --> 1:03:33.000
<v Speaker 1>of America during a time that it needed it. But ultimately,

1:03:34.320 --> 1:03:36.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think a ton of people watch Notre Dame

1:03:36.080 --> 1:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>games by the end of the year, so I don't

1:03:37.800 --> 1:03:41.480
<v Speaker 1>think it had the same notoriety as playoff semi funnel bloats.

1:03:41.480 --> 1:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>And I would also add selfishly happily that tire fire

1:03:46.680 --> 1:03:50.440
<v Speaker 1>of the year and worst year back omitting Brady Hoaks

1:03:50.520 --> 1:03:56.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixteen Oregon defense is woh, just wiping my brow.

1:03:56.480 --> 1:03:58.560
<v Speaker 2>We did get we did get a few Brady Hoaks

1:03:58.600 --> 1:04:02.360
<v Speaker 2>in there. Okay, good, Yeah, not enough steam on Brady

1:04:02.400 --> 1:04:06.160
<v Speaker 2>hok okay, I understand that to put him into either category,

1:04:06.880 --> 1:04:09.040
<v Speaker 2>so he got off Scott Free. I would have enjoyed

1:04:09.040 --> 1:04:12.240
<v Speaker 2>talking about that. But absolutely, here we go. We've got

1:04:12.280 --> 1:04:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame going four to eight, Florida's offense, Texas Techs

1:04:15.000 --> 1:04:20.680
<v Speaker 2>defense playoff semi final blowouts in Big twelve expansion plans.

1:04:20.720 --> 1:04:24.280
<v Speaker 2>One of the rare categories, along with name of the

1:04:24.360 --> 1:04:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Year to actually have five nominees for the award.

1:04:28.080 --> 1:04:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Dim the Lights.

1:04:30.800 --> 1:04:37.640
<v Speaker 2>Tire Fire of the Year twenty seventeen. Big twelve expansion

1:04:37.800 --> 1:04:39.360
<v Speaker 2>plans damn wow.

1:04:39.520 --> 1:04:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I mean that really screwed over a lot of

1:04:41.600 --> 1:04:46.080
<v Speaker 1>people that had put together pitches, put together plans, really

1:04:46.120 --> 1:04:49.640
<v Speaker 1>thought of themselves as moving up in the world. Only

1:04:50.240 --> 1:04:54.760
<v Speaker 1>not only does it disappoint people for not getting into

1:04:54.800 --> 1:04:58.040
<v Speaker 1>the Big twelve, into a new, big, better richer situation,

1:04:58.200 --> 1:04:59.600
<v Speaker 1>but nobody got in.

1:05:00.200 --> 1:05:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Big twelve expansion plans fade a bit into the background

1:05:05.000 --> 1:05:08.040
<v Speaker 2>because it happened before the season, but it should not

1:05:08.120 --> 1:05:12.640
<v Speaker 2>be overlooked. Playoff semi final blowouts was absolutely a tire fire,

1:05:13.000 --> 1:05:16.200
<v Speaker 2>definitely qualifies. I don't think it was as big a

1:05:16.280 --> 1:05:19.760
<v Speaker 2>tire fire in hindsight as Big twelve expansion plans, because

1:05:19.760 --> 1:05:24.160
<v Speaker 2>anytime you start talking expansion in college football, it attracts attention.

1:05:24.840 --> 1:05:28.920
<v Speaker 2>Remember when we had expansion Mageddon a couple of years ago.

1:05:29.680 --> 1:05:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Is the Pac twelve going to consume the Big twelve?

1:05:32.320 --> 1:05:33.960
<v Speaker 2>What's going to happen in Notre Dame, in the Big

1:05:34.000 --> 1:05:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Ten in the ACC Just a giant tirefire in its

1:05:38.000 --> 1:05:42.280
<v Speaker 2>own right. Anytime you start talking about expansion, and then

1:05:42.960 --> 1:05:46.440
<v Speaker 2>things started leaking out about these little PowerPoint slide decks

1:05:46.440 --> 1:05:50.520
<v Speaker 2>that like Cincinnati and Houston and some other schools Boise

1:05:50.600 --> 1:05:53.480
<v Speaker 2>State were trying to submit to the Big twelve to

1:05:53.600 --> 1:05:56.440
<v Speaker 2>try and be considered. Then there was some talk that

1:05:56.480 --> 1:05:58.919
<v Speaker 2>they were going to take a couple teams, then there

1:05:59.000 --> 1:06:00.840
<v Speaker 2>was not, Then there was the vote, and then all

1:06:00.880 --> 1:06:03.360
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, the whole thing was off on the

1:06:03.360 --> 1:06:07.600
<v Speaker 2>back burner until further notice, maybe never again. Definitely not

1:06:07.800 --> 1:06:12.680
<v Speaker 2>handled uniformly from a PR standpoint, and it was very

1:06:12.720 --> 1:06:15.080
<v Speaker 2>confusing from the outside in trying to follow these things.

1:06:15.440 --> 1:06:18.880
<v Speaker 2>Refreshing Twitter, What's Brett McMurphy, What did Bruce Felman have

1:06:18.920 --> 1:06:21.680
<v Speaker 2>to say about this? It was confusing there for a while.

1:06:21.720 --> 1:06:26.680
<v Speaker 2>But a last no expansion and uh, entire fire of

1:06:26.680 --> 1:06:26.920
<v Speaker 2>the year?

1:06:27.120 --> 1:06:30.919
<v Speaker 1>Gradually What was the name of the pill brand that

1:06:31.120 --> 1:06:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Johnson was a spokesperson for those yet? Yeah, to

1:06:36.240 --> 1:06:42.960
<v Speaker 1>grow You're junk right, extends, so a promise of growth, bigger, better,

1:06:44.240 --> 1:06:48.880
<v Speaker 1>a more robust situation into the year. Yeah, And ultimately

1:06:48.920 --> 1:06:50.920
<v Speaker 1>you're like, I don't know if this is the best decision.

1:06:51.560 --> 1:06:53.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if this is good for everybody involved.

1:06:54.760 --> 1:06:57.760
<v Speaker 1>So this is all to say we are going to

1:06:57.840 --> 1:07:01.360
<v Speaker 1>try to get an extend sponsorship for for entire Fire

1:07:01.400 --> 1:07:02.240
<v Speaker 1>of the Year twenty eight.

1:07:02.400 --> 1:07:05.400
<v Speaker 2>That's an extremely mixed metaphor, but I love it. Thank yeah,

1:07:05.440 --> 1:07:06.440
<v Speaker 2>thank you for providing that.

1:07:06.560 --> 1:07:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Dan, no problem. That's why I'm here.

1:07:09.280 --> 1:07:14.760
<v Speaker 2>We've got one final award. It is the Big Tamali,

1:07:14.880 --> 1:07:21.200
<v Speaker 2>one of our favorites. It's everyone's favorite. Let's do it.

1:07:21.400 --> 1:07:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Meme of the year here it is Meme of the Year.

1:07:27.080 --> 1:07:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Do you do you know a lot of youths. I

1:07:29.640 --> 1:07:33.480
<v Speaker 1>do youth Okah, because our office is a pretty young

1:07:33.480 --> 1:07:35.919
<v Speaker 1>one and we keep hiring younger and younger people. And

1:07:36.640 --> 1:07:39.800
<v Speaker 1>the young people tie, they love their memes. Yeah. We've

1:07:39.800 --> 1:07:42.480
<v Speaker 1>got actually a Notre Dame alumnus we'll try to have

1:07:42.520 --> 1:07:44.200
<v Speaker 1>on the show. Perhaps we want to we want to

1:07:44.240 --> 1:07:47.440
<v Speaker 1>offer some some more positive Notre Dame presence to the

1:07:47.440 --> 1:07:50.960
<v Speaker 1>solid verbal she is. When she started, She's like, I'm

1:07:51.000 --> 1:07:53.360
<v Speaker 1>here for the memes. Okay, I'm here for the memes.

1:07:53.360 --> 1:07:55.280
<v Speaker 1>She works on our social media team. She's here for

1:07:55.320 --> 1:07:58.800
<v Speaker 1>the memes. So yeah, understandable. So memes an inside joke.

1:07:59.200 --> 1:08:00.760
<v Speaker 1>M h, it's inside joke.

1:08:01.080 --> 1:08:06.120
<v Speaker 2>And as trusted listeners and friends and verballers. As you're known,

1:08:07.200 --> 1:08:09.720
<v Speaker 2>you're kind of privy to some of our humor. Not

1:08:09.800 --> 1:08:12.520
<v Speaker 2>all of it's funny, most of it isn't, but it

1:08:12.560 --> 1:08:17.360
<v Speaker 2>is uniquely solid verbal. It's ours, it's our babies and

1:08:18.120 --> 1:08:21.479
<v Speaker 2>what we try to do every year. Inevitably, these things

1:08:21.520 --> 1:08:24.200
<v Speaker 2>just happen. We're not often trying to come up with something,

1:08:25.439 --> 1:08:27.240
<v Speaker 2>kind of like the talking to your kids about Iowa

1:08:27.280 --> 1:08:28.200
<v Speaker 2>stunt a year ago.

1:08:29.000 --> 1:08:31.360
<v Speaker 1>They just sort of happened. They just sort of.

1:08:31.280 --> 1:08:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Happen organically, and then we run with them. We think

1:08:33.400 --> 1:08:35.120
<v Speaker 2>they're funny, other people do, and they take on a

1:08:35.160 --> 1:08:39.040
<v Speaker 2>life of their own. This year we had four four

1:08:39.080 --> 1:08:42.479
<v Speaker 2>that stuck out and one that I'm going to throw

1:08:42.560 --> 1:08:46.160
<v Speaker 2>in as potentially a dark horse here. I don't think

1:08:46.160 --> 1:08:49.920
<v Speaker 2>it's got enough run. But the Secret Garbage episode from

1:08:49.920 --> 1:08:50.920
<v Speaker 2>a week ago Dan.

1:08:52.560 --> 1:08:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Is going to get a feedback. It's going to go

1:08:55.080 --> 1:08:55.839
<v Speaker 1>down in history.

1:08:55.960 --> 1:08:59.120
<v Speaker 2>That Avatar versus ketchup battle might not have been the

1:08:59.160 --> 1:09:01.960
<v Speaker 2>thriller in Manila, and there may or may not have

1:09:02.000 --> 1:09:07.559
<v Speaker 2>been a bullying component, depending on which perspective you're coming from.

1:09:07.600 --> 1:09:10.519
<v Speaker 2>I have never seen such feedback to a show like

1:09:10.560 --> 1:09:14.759
<v Speaker 2>what we saw after our volunteers, good sign Avatar versus

1:09:14.840 --> 1:09:18.519
<v Speaker 2>Ketchup rivalry. Yeah, we're gonna have to bring back Avatar

1:09:18.560 --> 1:09:22.360
<v Speaker 2>and Ketchup and secret garbage just in general. Absolutely, that

1:09:22.400 --> 1:09:25.960
<v Speaker 2>would be a new thing that was great. Here were

1:09:26.000 --> 1:09:28.519
<v Speaker 2>the actual nominees, So secret garbage could be something we

1:09:28.560 --> 1:09:31.839
<v Speaker 2>throw in here if we're not satisfied with the quality

1:09:31.840 --> 1:09:33.599
<v Speaker 2>of the other the other right, it.

1:09:33.520 --> 1:09:35.519
<v Speaker 1>Wasn't an in season thing, so I think we can

1:09:36.160 --> 1:09:38.080
<v Speaker 1>go with these four. I think we've got four good options.

1:09:39.120 --> 1:09:42.719
<v Speaker 2>The first is the ongoing mystery of the Notre Dame stink.

1:09:44.520 --> 1:09:46.680
<v Speaker 2>You came up with Notre Dame stank? Dan, What is

1:09:46.760 --> 1:09:47.559
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame stank?

1:09:47.600 --> 1:09:51.479
<v Speaker 1>Again? Just refresh our listeners. It's sort of like the

1:09:51.479 --> 1:09:54.559
<v Speaker 1>movie What is the movie where you watched the tape

1:09:54.640 --> 1:09:59.000
<v Speaker 1>and then you get killed? Is that final ring?

1:09:59.080 --> 1:09:59.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

1:09:59.320 --> 1:10:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. If you beat Notre Dame, you sort of you

1:10:05.000 --> 1:10:07.559
<v Speaker 1>inhabit something. You get a disease, you get a virus.

1:10:07.640 --> 1:10:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame inflicts you with the virus, and you just

1:10:10.880 --> 1:10:13.640
<v Speaker 1>start losing like crazy after you beat Notre Dame. That

1:10:14.160 --> 1:10:16.880
<v Speaker 1>was just a thing this year. Everybody that beat Notre Dame,

1:10:17.520 --> 1:10:19.920
<v Speaker 1>with maybe the exception of USC because they did win

1:10:19.960 --> 1:10:21.120
<v Speaker 1>the Rose Ball at the end of the year, but

1:10:21.160 --> 1:10:23.000
<v Speaker 1>early on in the middle of the season, teams that

1:10:23.040 --> 1:10:26.400
<v Speaker 1>beat Notre Dame went on to have some troubles and

1:10:26.479 --> 1:10:29.920
<v Speaker 1>so that sort of started. Like Texas and Michigan State

1:10:30.000 --> 1:10:33.160
<v Speaker 1>notably had very disappointing seasons right after they got that

1:10:33.200 --> 1:10:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame stank on them.

1:10:35.439 --> 1:10:38.880
<v Speaker 2>Michigan State, Texas. Yeah, the list goes on. Lord knows

1:10:39.200 --> 1:10:43.840
<v Speaker 2>eight choices there that you can discuss. We also have

1:10:44.040 --> 1:10:48.960
<v Speaker 2>the Adam Amean secret verbal. The adam of means secret verbal.

1:10:49.000 --> 1:10:51.240
<v Speaker 2>We did this thing where as you know, we've got

1:10:51.240 --> 1:10:53.559
<v Speaker 2>a secret verbal. You listen to a long enough show.

1:10:54.400 --> 1:10:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes we'll give you a code where go out there

1:10:56.120 --> 1:10:57.559
<v Speaker 2>and tweet it at a friend of ours or a

1:10:57.560 --> 1:11:01.120
<v Speaker 2>new friend of ours and tell him that we sent you.

1:11:02.000 --> 1:11:05.599
<v Speaker 2>But just tweet adam I means something about milk shakes.

1:11:06.360 --> 1:11:08.880
<v Speaker 2>That's what we did. It got back to Adam Amean.

1:11:09.360 --> 1:11:12.599
<v Speaker 2>He was all about it. Came on the show with

1:11:12.640 --> 1:11:15.120
<v Speaker 2>you to shake it up a little bit, talk about

1:11:15.120 --> 1:11:18.719
<v Speaker 2>milk shakes. No college football, just milkshakes. But Adam Amean,

1:11:18.760 --> 1:11:22.920
<v Speaker 2>our new best friend, called a video game with us

1:11:22.960 --> 1:11:24.800
<v Speaker 2>while we were down in Tampa. Did a long show

1:11:24.880 --> 1:11:26.679
<v Speaker 2>telling us all about what it's like to call games

1:11:26.680 --> 1:11:29.320
<v Speaker 2>with Mac Brown and YadA YadA YadA, had a great

1:11:29.360 --> 1:11:32.280
<v Speaker 2>conversation with him. He is a good dude. The Adam

1:11:32.320 --> 1:11:34.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean secret verbal was one of my favorite moments

1:11:34.280 --> 1:11:35.000
<v Speaker 2>from the past year.

1:11:35.680 --> 1:11:37.439
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, Adam I mean and I would say, Adam,

1:11:37.439 --> 1:11:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean friendship. Yeah. It's a great guy. And he

1:11:40.200 --> 1:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>was the play by play when Mac Brown just left

1:11:42.479 --> 1:11:44.439
<v Speaker 1>the booth right because he had to catch a flight.

1:11:44.520 --> 1:11:46.160
<v Speaker 1>So that's how we first became familiar.

1:11:46.920 --> 1:11:50.080
<v Speaker 2>We've also got krock potting on here, Dan krockpotting becoming

1:11:50.120 --> 1:11:50.599
<v Speaker 2>a verb.

1:11:52.520 --> 1:11:54.839
<v Speaker 1>So rockpotting is you? Please explain?

1:11:55.120 --> 1:12:00.360
<v Speaker 2>This was a multi part effort from you and I.

1:12:00.360 --> 1:12:03.120
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned I went back and checked the tapes I

1:12:03.240 --> 1:12:06.240
<v Speaker 2>mentioned very early on in our first preview show when

1:12:06.240 --> 1:12:10.040
<v Speaker 2>we were talking about Alabama USC. I mentioned the phenomenon

1:12:10.240 --> 1:12:14.719
<v Speaker 2>of Alabama beating a team as if they were cooking

1:12:14.720 --> 1:12:18.200
<v Speaker 2>something in a crockpot. Throw them in there for four hours,

1:12:18.240 --> 1:12:22.400
<v Speaker 2>turn it on low. See a bubble here, little bit

1:12:22.439 --> 1:12:25.000
<v Speaker 2>of movement in the sauce there, you pop it out

1:12:25.040 --> 1:12:26.920
<v Speaker 2>four hours later, It's done. You didn't even know it.

1:12:28.640 --> 1:12:30.880
<v Speaker 2>That whole thing is kind of like putting something in

1:12:30.920 --> 1:12:33.680
<v Speaker 2>a crockpot. You took it and ran with it and said, oh,

1:12:33.680 --> 1:12:39.320
<v Speaker 2>we'll just call it a crockpotting, crockpotting, crockpotting, crockpotting. Crockpotting

1:12:39.360 --> 1:12:41.360
<v Speaker 2>became a thing, became a verb here.

1:12:41.479 --> 1:12:42.439
<v Speaker 1>It's what Obama did.

1:12:42.600 --> 1:12:44.800
<v Speaker 2>People were tweeting about it, people were calling in on

1:12:44.840 --> 1:12:47.000
<v Speaker 2>the reverb blind about it. It very much was what

1:12:47.040 --> 1:12:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Alabama did, and it very much became a thing. Crockpotting

1:12:51.240 --> 1:12:55.479
<v Speaker 2>very strong contender here. And then finally, I hate that

1:12:55.520 --> 1:13:01.679
<v Speaker 2>this is on there, but I understand why. My inability,

1:13:01.880 --> 1:13:05.439
<v Speaker 2>fittingly because we are sponsored by Blue Apron here, my

1:13:05.560 --> 1:13:08.519
<v Speaker 2>inability to pronounce Blue Apron menu item down fairness, I

1:13:08.520 --> 1:13:11.679
<v Speaker 2>got better. I think I got better at this you did.

1:13:12.840 --> 1:13:14.519
<v Speaker 2>I may not be as cultured as you when it

1:13:14.520 --> 1:13:17.160
<v Speaker 2>comes to food. I'm okay with that. I am proud

1:13:17.200 --> 1:13:21.479
<v Speaker 2>of that. I'm a total fraud continue, but yes, my

1:13:21.560 --> 1:13:26.000
<v Speaker 2>inability to pronounce Blue Apron menu items was something that

1:13:26.040 --> 1:13:29.759
<v Speaker 2>gave people a disproportionate amount of joy. So I'm happy

1:13:29.840 --> 1:13:33.200
<v Speaker 2>in that in that sense. Then to keep this, keep

1:13:33.240 --> 1:13:37.360
<v Speaker 2>this anomaly on our list of contenders.

1:13:36.920 --> 1:13:39.120
<v Speaker 1>I will. I will promise you this right now, ty

1:13:39.240 --> 1:13:41.960
<v Speaker 1>as It relates to that if at any point I

1:13:42.000 --> 1:13:46.479
<v Speaker 1>come into a considerable amount of money, I will take

1:13:46.520 --> 1:13:51.920
<v Speaker 1>you to like Pouquet, I will take you to Bangkok,

1:13:52.000 --> 1:13:54.559
<v Speaker 1>I will take you maybe Hong Kong, and I will

1:13:54.600 --> 1:13:58.280
<v Speaker 1>document how you order every single meal that you get,

1:13:59.000 --> 1:14:01.519
<v Speaker 1>because I just I want to live that life. And

1:14:01.880 --> 1:14:04.320
<v Speaker 1>the solid fiance is definitely allergic to seafood, So I

1:14:04.360 --> 1:14:06.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know what I'll be able to go to Bangkok.

1:14:06.640 --> 1:14:09.000
<v Speaker 1>So if I come into a bunch of money, We're

1:14:09.040 --> 1:14:11.559
<v Speaker 1>going on a tie vacation, a tie eating vacation. So

1:14:11.600 --> 1:14:16.120
<v Speaker 1>there you go. There are your four maybe five nominees.

1:14:16.200 --> 1:14:22.439
<v Speaker 1>Dan dim the Lights Dimmed Podcast Meme of the Year.

1:14:22.840 --> 1:14:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Here for the memes for twenty seventeen. Crock Potting. Crock Potting. Yeah,

1:14:32.800 --> 1:14:34.559
<v Speaker 1>I think I actually just got a new crock pot.

1:14:34.560 --> 1:14:40.400
<v Speaker 1>It was in the registry. Yeah, so very appropriate. Yeah. Absolutely.

1:14:40.439 --> 1:14:44.080
<v Speaker 1>To watch an Alabama game was not unlike watching a

1:14:44.120 --> 1:14:47.200
<v Speaker 1>piece of tenderloin or whatever it is that you know,

1:14:47.360 --> 1:14:52.679
<v Speaker 1>a chicken you make pulled chicken in there, yeah, ty yeah, yeah,

1:14:52.160 --> 1:14:55.840
<v Speaker 1>I've done that with beef. It was it was a

1:14:55.880 --> 1:15:00.400
<v Speaker 1>special year to watch Alabama win like twenty seven into

1:15:00.439 --> 1:15:03.640
<v Speaker 1>seven games, that's all it was that happened slowly, but

1:15:03.800 --> 1:15:10.280
<v Speaker 1>ultimately there was tenderization. The secret sauce, if you will,

1:15:10.320 --> 1:15:15.240
<v Speaker 1>to a successful meme within our little universe is when

1:15:15.439 --> 1:15:19.120
<v Speaker 1>you see it being used outside the universe, when you

1:15:19.120 --> 1:15:23.400
<v Speaker 1>see people tweeting it at actual college football experts, when

1:15:23.400 --> 1:15:26.960
<v Speaker 1>you see Kirk Kurvestreet getting tweets about crockpotting, when you

1:15:27.040 --> 1:15:31.639
<v Speaker 1>see it being used in print form or being tweeted

1:15:31.640 --> 1:15:34.400
<v Speaker 1>out by other experts, borrowing it, using it for their

1:15:34.520 --> 1:15:37.160
<v Speaker 1>for their own that's fine, we don't care. But when

1:15:37.200 --> 1:15:39.920
<v Speaker 1>you see it kind of take that next step, that's

1:15:39.960 --> 1:15:41.880
<v Speaker 1>when you know that it should be on this list.

1:15:41.920 --> 1:15:44.280
<v Speaker 1>And Crockpotting, of all the ones that we got on

1:15:44.360 --> 1:15:47.120
<v Speaker 1>here a side of the secret verbal, which is sort

1:15:47.120 --> 1:15:50.760
<v Speaker 1>of a setup, crock Potting becoming a thing was absolutely

1:15:51.400 --> 1:15:54.200
<v Speaker 1>something that took that next step. Yes, Notre Dame very

1:15:54.240 --> 1:15:56.840
<v Speaker 1>important secret verbal to a lesser degree, but crock Potting

1:15:57.479 --> 1:16:00.320
<v Speaker 1>far and away my favorite thing that we can up

1:16:00.320 --> 1:16:01.120
<v Speaker 1>with this past year.

1:16:01.880 --> 1:16:05.559
<v Speaker 2>Totally organic. Wasn't planned. None of this stuff was, but

1:16:05.600 --> 1:16:09.280
<v Speaker 2>that certainly wasn't. Just feels right to me, A good

1:16:09.280 --> 1:16:10.120
<v Speaker 2>way to go out.

1:16:09.920 --> 1:16:14.679
<v Speaker 1>Here, and Notre Dame wins somewhere between four and eight

1:16:14.760 --> 1:16:18.320
<v Speaker 1>of these awards. Yeah, thank you. What's the final count, Yeah,

1:16:18.360 --> 1:16:19.679
<v Speaker 1>no problem, that's why.

1:16:20.080 --> 1:16:22.920
<v Speaker 2>That's why we have it thirty three point one percent

1:16:22.960 --> 1:16:26.400
<v Speaker 2>of the vote by two percent over my Blue Apron mishaps.

1:16:28.040 --> 1:16:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I swear to God, if I win some sort of

1:16:30.200 --> 1:16:33.280
<v Speaker 1>lottery or I create a company and sell it for

1:16:33.439 --> 1:16:35.519
