1
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: So a friend to all is a friend to none.

2
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: I ask you tonight, what is an enemy to all?

3
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: What's the dude who no one can stand? How do

4
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: we classify him? We will discuss it tonight. It is

5
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: late Kicklive it. It is Sunday, June eighteenth year of Old

6
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: Over twenty twenty three. We're jam packed high a top

7
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: a radiant and tourist filled downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Some of you,

8
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: I have it on good authority, don't really care for

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: Jimbo Fisher taking you to Pate State science class tonight,

10
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: because as we know, science is undefeated on this show,

11
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: and we ran a good old fashioned experiment over the

12
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: past six to twelve hours. The results forthcoming. What ifs

13
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: we're talking about them tonight. Bold predictions, we're talking about

14
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: them tonight. We've got we got some things happening in Gainesville, Florida.

15
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure what they are, although my dude

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: friends over on Swamp twenty four to seven on the

17
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: message board have informed me the direction I should go

18
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: with tonight's show.

19
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: Let's see if I follow their lead.

20
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: All that, plus, we haven't done consecutive shows in Nashville.

21
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: It seems like in about a year. So we're we're

22
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: back from the West coast. We responsibly took a red

23
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: eye Thursday night, so we get here to play softball Friday.

24
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: Even Jesse showed up like what a holiday that was.

25
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: And so I've got some nuggets. I've got some takeaways

26
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: from Elite eleven, not the way Ivans or Cooper, will

27
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: Fong or anyone saw it, the way I saw it. Now,

28
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: I'm not on the rankings council, so I'm free to

29
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: say whatever it is I want to out here. I

30
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: got a guy, for instance, that shined to me as

31
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: bright as anyone there. And it wasn't the Elite eleven

32
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: Finals MVP necessarily, it wasn't a five star rated player necessarily.

33
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean we're going we're gonna strip it

34
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: down tonight. We're going behind the scenes. We're gonna peel

35
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: back the curtain a little bit. Pueblo, Colorado, they're tuned

36
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: in tonight, thank you, Pioneer Ohio, around Rock, Texas, Camilla, Georgia,

37
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: they're all watching. I need a few general there. You know,

38
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: if you call yourself a leader and you listen to

39
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: the show or watch the show, I would already argue

40
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: you've made it, thank you, But if you want to

41
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: go above and beyond, I need a few people to

42
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: sort of grab the flag all lah Mel, Gibson and

43
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: the Patriot and I need you to run up to

44
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: the top of the hill. And by that I mean

45
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: I need you to get this channel to two hundred

46
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: thousand subscribers by kickoff twenty twenty three, by any means necessary.

47
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: You've heard of the paper pop. That's the paper slam.

48
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: That's the challenge, and I welcome any and all participants

49
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: that feel like they measure up. And when I say

50
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: by any means necessary, I almost mean by any means necessary.

51
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: Not quite, but almost. So we got a lot of

52
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: different directions to go with the show tonight. I will

53
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: waste no more time because the last show we did

54
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: like an hour and a half and I'm not sorry,

55
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it happened. So let's dive into the

56
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: show tonight. College football What Ifs are quickly becoming the

57
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: most popular segment on this show, and that is simply

58
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: us looking at some things that could happen. Maybe they're

59
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: not predicted to happen, but they could happen. And if

60
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: they do, the reverberations would be felt far and wide.

61
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: And the first one tonight and producer Jesse and I

62
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: were mining through some of your tweets and we got

63
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: a lot of ideas from you. The first one comes

64
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: from Nathan. Listen to this if you're listening on podcasts

65
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: up there in Madison, Wisconsin or Lincoln, Nebraska, listen to

66
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: this one. Nathan says, Hey, what if someone besides Ohio

67
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: State or Michigan or Penn State wins the Big Ten?

68
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: Any chance we see that in the near future, especially

69
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: with conference eliminating the divisions. Well, the Big three that

70
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: he mentioned there, Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, they have

71
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: won seven straight. They are the Big three for a reason.

72
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: They are the favorites obviously in that order, I believe.

73
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: Let me backtrack, because they still have divisions up there.

74
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: If you shuffled everything like they're gonna do next year

75
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: and beyond, these would be the clear three slam dunk

76
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: favorites in some order or another to win the conference.

77
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: As it stands, they're all in the same division, and

78
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: so we're gonna do away with that after this this

79
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: upcoming season.

80
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: But the way I figure this is one.

81
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: Of two things have to happen for someone other than

82
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: Ohio State and Michigan Penn State to win the Big Ten.

83
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: Either somebody just comes out of nowhere and wins the

84
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: Big Ten East, and that is unlikely. That would be

85
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: your Maryland's or your Michigan states. Not impossible, highly unlikely,

86
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: highly unlikely. So either that happens, or someone just pulls

87
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: a mild to moderate upset in the Big Ten championship game. Now,

88
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: what I want to do is I want to remind

89
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: you Wisconsin is currently favored to win the West, so

90
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: their favor to be there. What that means in the

91
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: Big Ten West, I don't really know, but let's just

92
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: play it out for argument sake. Let's say that the

93
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: odds makers are right, and let's say Wisconsin with a

94
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: preseason over under win total of eight and a half.

95
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: Let's say Luke Fickl and the Badgers they arrive in Indianapolis,

96
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: they're playing Hoopstaver. Could be Ohio State, could be Michigan,

97
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. I can tell you right

98
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: now what kind of upset it would be. And I

99
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: can tell you that because Ohio State goes to Wisconsin

100
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: this year and due to our Crack Stats and Info Department.

101
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: I've been informed Ohio State is a ten point favorite

102
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: on the road at Wisconsin. Now, Ohio State and Michigan

103
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: have about the same odds. They would be favored by

104
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: about the same amount against Wisconsin wherever they played, So

105
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: using simple mathematics, we just add three points that Wisconsin

106
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: gets for that home field advantage. If those two teams

107
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: were to meet in Indianapolis and we find out that

108
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: Ohio State would be about a thirteen or a fourteen

109
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: point favorite against the Badgers, so would Michigan if they

110
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: played in the Big Ten championship game. As it stands

111
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: right now, that's all we have to go on. Like

112
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: Christopher Walkins said and wedding crashers, we have no way

113
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: of knowing what the future holds. You just have to

114
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: make the best decisions given the facts at hand. How

115
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: big of an upset would that be? The answer is

116
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: pretty big, not monumental, not some catastrophic upset. So yeah,

117
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: if this were to be a what if it happens,

118
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: if a Wisconsin or an imagine if Iowa just won

119
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: the Big Ten, if that happened, it would be a

120
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: big shake up. And think about what it would do

121
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: to the college football playoff picture, not even knowing what

122
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: the rest of the country has in store. Think about

123
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: what that would do. Think about also what it would

124
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: mean for the coaching market up there. If someone else

125
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: wins the Big Ten, that by default means Ohio State didn't.

126
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: Maybe they didn't even go to the Big Ten championship game.

127
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's a lot of there's a lot of

128
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: ramification there if anyone other than the Big Three wins

129
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: the Big Ten. All right, next up we go down

130
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: south for a second immunity, Edwards said, does Tennessee pick

131
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: up where they left off and potentially change the balance

132
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: of the SEC? Interesting word there, balance. I'll tell you

133
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: why in a second. For Tennessee to make some leap

134
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: this year, what has to happen. Well, the first thing

135
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: you need to remember is where they left off. They

136
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: were ten and two last year, and then eleven and

137
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: two once they won the bowl game. They were six

138
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: and one versus top twenty five competition. Of course, Director

139
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: Colin and I were in the house for the earth

140
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: shaking college football landscape altering upset over Alabama. The goal

141
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: post goes out, I would be lying if I said

142
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: we did not assist in the carrying of that goal post.

143
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: Does that make us homer? Does that make us homers

144
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: of Tennessee? No, it just makes us participants of a

145
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: field storming. We don't get fined. Who cares? And so, yeah,

146
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: all that happened last year, Well, how are you springboarding

147
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: from that? The way I see it, the only thing

148
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: you can do is go eleven and one or better.

149
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: The way I see it, you can only go to

150
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: the SEC Championship or bust. You probably have to either

151
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,119
Speaker 1: beat Georgia or yes, you have to beat Georgia because

152
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: there is no way they're beating you and then losing

153
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: two other conference games. Georgia plays Shaw High School at

154
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: some point on their conference slate this year, so George

155
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: is not losing two games in conference outside of Tennessee.

156
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: I am sorry to spoil it for you. That's just

157
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: the way it is this year. Bruce Hornsby, So making

158
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: the leap would equal doing some things they haven't done

159
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: up there in a while. But he just mentioned in

160
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: the question would it restore balance to the SEC? We'll

161
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: think about balance here because we've never truly had it,

162
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: but we kind of have, so it would not shock

163
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: you to know that since nineteen seventy seven, we have

164
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: had six teams win the SEC championship, and those are Bama, Georgia, Florida, LSU, Auburn,

165
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: and Tennessee. My college age audience does not believe that

166
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: the caboose on that six pack Tennessee.

167
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 2: You don't believe that's true.

168
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: But there was a time in the well in many decades,

169
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: actually multiple decades, where Tennessee was rattling off SEC championships

170
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: right up there with the best of them. Tennessee was

171
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: one of the most feared brands in college football. Going

172
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: into Niland Stadium was for everyone what it was for

173
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: Alabama last year. Remember the lead up to that week,

174
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: I kept trying to explain the Third Saturday in October.

175
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: It mixed up the words the third Saturday in October

176
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: and what it means, and people were calling bs in

177
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: the live chat. I got slandered in my own live chat. Yeah,

178
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: I remember, And then it happened. Then all of a sudden,

179
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: people were like, Oh, that's what that game's all about. Huh, Well,

180
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: that's what Nieland Stadium used to all be about. That

181
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: was what it was always like there. And then it

182
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,599
Speaker 1: kind of waned a little bit, and then all of

183
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: a sudden, you know what used to be Rocky Top

184
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: Neeland Stadium. All of a sudden people talked about the

185
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: swamp more, people talked about Death Valley more. They should

186
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: have always talked about those places. I'm just saying, Niland

187
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: Stadium kind of got shuffled to the back of the pack. Well,

188
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: if this happens, you would have, obviously the Tennessee brand

189
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: re emerge at the forefront, and Neeland Stadium would ascend

190
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: to its rightful place right there atop the three or

191
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: four way tie at the head of the sec for

192
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: bragging rights of best home field advantage.

193
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 2: So, yeah, they make a leap. That's great.

194
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: They got an uphill battle to do it. Not because

195
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: I expect some massive drop off from Tennessee. But it's

196
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: hard to do what they did last year. It's very

197
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: hard to do that. Next up, let's go to Manhattan, Kansas,

198
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: the Little Apple as they call it. What if Kansas

199
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: State is better than last season? Oh look a spoiler,

200
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: they will be. I don't appreciate when you guys just

201
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: ruined the season for me by telling me what's gonna happen.

202
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: You know that spoken to you about that before. But

203
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: if you must here, we go Kansas State. So they're

204
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: gonna be better, says case Statriot. They're gonna be better

205
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: this year. Well, they were ten and four last year.

206
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: That was the first ten win season there since twenty twelve.

207
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: Need I remind you, yes, I do. They won the

208
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: Big Twelve last year, not the team that went to

209
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: the National Championship Game TCU.

210
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: That is not the team that won the Big Twelve.

211
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: I am already convinced that a majority of college football

212
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: fans have misremembered history and they just have TCU as

213
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve champ for twenty twenty two. Nope, that's

214
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: not what happened at all. So if this does happen, well,

215
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: the first thing it would do is it would it

216
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: would probably insert them into the Big Twelve Championship Game.

217
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: If they won it last year and they're better, I

218
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: think we have to deduct from that that maybe they

219
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: got a really good shot.

220
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: At winning it this year.

221
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: If that happens, Hey, how about the slam dunk on

222
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: the face of Texas and OU on the way out

223
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: the conference door. If it goes down that way, it's

224
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: great for Kansas State because well, they have another good year,

225
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: and also they are positioning like everyone else is out

226
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: there for a post Sooner Longhorn world. In the Big twelve,

227
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: they would be sort of the big dog on the block,

228
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: would they not? That would be back to back conference titles.

229
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: Chris Cleman, by the way, if you take out that

230
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: COVID year, his last three years have been eight wins,

231
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: eight wins, ten wins, and they are not a recruiting powerhouse.

232
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: In fact, three of their last four classes they finished

233
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: outside the top fifty. This last cycle they finished thirty second.

234
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: Like that's far and away the best class they've had.

235
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: And yet you know, I got to see him up

236
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: close against Oklahoma State last year.

237
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 2: That was just a blood bath. That was a splattering.

238
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: There was just a cowboy all over the place. And

239
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: they were really good all year. So if they're going

240
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: to be better, like I said with Tennessee, it's not impossible.

241
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: That's a tall hill to climb, though. And lastly, in

242
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: the what if department for this evening, what if what

243
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 1: if Colorado's transfers live up to the hype that's from Peter.

244
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: The hype is substantial around Colorado, specifically because of all

245
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: the transfers. They're over underwent totals three and a half.

246
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: So anyone out there who tells you if they win

247
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: five games and miss out on a Bowl that it

248
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: was a bust of a season, they're wrong. I heard

249
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: Dion talking the other day. I have heard what he

250
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: said about his expectation level for year one. His expectation

251
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: level should be that a reasonable person who has to

252
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: bet money one way or the other. Someone forced you.

253
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: Someone breaks down your door right now. They're not there

254
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: to kidnap you. They're not there to steal any of

255
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: your prize possessions. It's one of those weird deals where

256
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: they are breaking and entering only to force your hand

257
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: on betting the Colorado over under win total this year.

258
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: Hoops to monkst Us hasn't been there a time or two.

259
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: You have to make a decision based on the information

260
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: in hand. And if that over under win totals three

261
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: and a half, I don't think any one of you saying, oh,

262
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 1: give me the over.

263
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: They're winning nine games. They don't have to.

264
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: But if these players, if this transfer class lives up

265
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: to the hype, they will hit that over because that hype,

266
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: like I said, it's pretty substantial. That balloon keeps getting

267
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: bigger and bigger. We're not even to media days yet,

268
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: and so it would probably mean Shador Sanders had a

269
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: breakout year at quarterback. It would probably mean they stayed

270
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: healthy too, like really healthy. Travis Hunter probably has the

271
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: breakout year to end all breakout years in the Pac twelve. Whoever,

272
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: the Pac twelve Player of the Year is outside, maybe

273
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: like Caleb Williams or Michael Pennix or someone probably on

274
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: the Colorado roster. It would also make a lot of

275
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: college football rethink their theories and philosophies behind team building, because,

276
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: as I told you about a month ago, and as

277
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: I'll tell you again now and continue to tell you,

278
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: a lot of coaches don't think this is gonna work.

279
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: A lot of coaches are looking at it. I'm not

280
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: going to say they're rooting for it to crash and burn,

281
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: although I think some of them are rooting for it

282
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: to crash and burn. But at the very least, a

283
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: lot of them are skeptically looking at bolder Colorado saying

284
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: there's no way that's gonna work. I don't know what

285
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: to believe. You'll notice when we've talked about Colorado on

286
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: the show. I have shied away from making any kind

287
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: of bold proclamation. I like Dion Sanders a lot, but

288
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: that's not a bold proclamation. He could succeed there, he

289
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,239
Speaker 1: could fail there. I'm in the wait and see category.

290
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: Mema always told me one of the best skills you

291
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: could have as a man is saying I don't know.

292
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen at Colorado. I

293
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: know they think they know out there. But if I

294
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: will tell you this, if you were to spoil the

295
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: ending for me in this what if scenario and you

296
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: tell me that Transfer Portal class is going to live

297
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: up to the hype, then I would lean the way

298
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: of Deon Sanders. When it comes to predictions for this year,

299
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: the what if game is going swimmingly.

300
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: I mean that thing is delivering for us and delivering

301
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: in a big way.

302
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: Because look, here's what would happen. What would happen is

303
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: I would text Jesse Sunday morning. I'll give them time

304
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: to wake up, so about five thirty or six am, Jesse,

305
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: what are we talking about on tonight's show? And then

306
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: he would give me his suggestions. I would ignore them

307
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: and go with what I wanted to go with anyway.

308
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: I just wanted him to feel heard. But sometimes even

309
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have a good idea. But now you guys

310
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: have come to the rescue, and we got all kind

311
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: of what ifs, and just like an endless supply of

312
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: content in June, no less whom stood a funk it.

313
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 2: I have a little update for you.

314
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: These trips we've taken to Penn State and Miami have

315
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: gone way, way better candidly than anyone here thought they would. Okay,

316
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: when we brought that Peate State Speaker series idea, well,

317
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: actually when you brought it to me and I got

318
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: it approved by management, and what ordeal that was. When

319
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: I got it approved by management. I think the expectations

320
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: were low, which is understandable because conceptually we had never done.

321
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: Anything like that.

322
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: So what I wanted to do is I wanted to

323
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: get extended sit downs with head coaches. I wanted to

324
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: have a live show emanate from the campus of wherever

325
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: we go, and any other access we get.

326
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 2: That's great.

327
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: Need to work out in your weight room, that's a

328
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: little personal requirement. You guys didn't ask for that, but

329
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: I pretend you did. If it gets it approved, we

330
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: went to Penn State, and those folks welcomed us with

331
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: open arms. They opened the door, they showed what could

332
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: happen this last trip to Miami. They blew it out

333
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: in every way imaginable, and a lot of folks saw it.

334
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: So what I'm going to tell you, because everyone now

335
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: keeps asking me where we're going next, is we are

336
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: choosing where we go next because we have a bunch

337
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: of folks reaching out from a bunch of different programs

338
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: asking if we can come. What's funny is there's one

339
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: that turned us down. There was one place I wanted

340
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: to go that turned us down, and I have it.

341
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: I have a pretty good hunch that the university that

342
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: turned us down probably didn't take the idea to their

343
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 1: head coach. Someone in the administrative branch probably just turned

344
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: it down without really running.

345
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 2: It up the flagpole. But that's okay because we have

346
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 2: many many choices out there.

347
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: So I'm saying all that to say, I think we'll

348
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: have an announcement coming up next couple of weeks. I

349
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: want to do it right. It's major program. It's one

350
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: we talk about a lot on the show, and I

351
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: am very much looking forward to this one.

352
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 2: We got to get some.

353
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: T's crossed and i's dotted. But that's you guys at

354
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: work again. So I just wanted to tell you I

355
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: appreciate it. And the gears are already turning for our

356
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: next trip. And also, you know, I don't know why

357
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be following on the socials at late Kick, Josh,

358
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: but if you haven't already committed to doing that, which

359
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: is free of charge, our team, our digital media team,

360
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: put together a behind the scenes real just like of

361
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: stuff you didn't see in those interviews. We got the

362
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: Tyler Van Dyke interview, the Shannon Dawson interview, We got

363
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 1: those uploaded on the utube channel. Now you saw the

364
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: Mario Christopaul long form. You saw all that, you saw

365
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: the show. You didn't see the behind the scenes, the travel,

366
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: what it takes to put one of those together. Well

367
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: you can because our social team followed me down there.

368
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: They flew down there with me from Nashville. And so

369
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: it's just a great behind the scenes look that I

370
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: think is well worth a minute to a minute and

371
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: a half of your time.

372
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 2: All right, let's move on.

373
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: I gotta take a moment to pull the shades down

374
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,239
Speaker 1: a little bit. Because it's about to get serious. We

375
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: have a very somber tone. Got to stack the papers.

376
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: Just go ahead and pop a paper, Colin. None of

377
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: this is going in the segment, so just hold on.

378
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 2: Here's your endpoint.

379
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: As you guys know, we are a show based on

380
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: facts and data and science. The Pate State Science Department

381
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: is undefeated and so recently, for instance, we used science

382
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: to conclude such things as Ohio State's going to win

383
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: the national championship by looking at twenty twenty four mottin drafts.

384
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: It gets no more scientific than that. Believe it or not,

385
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 1: some people actually thought I was serious about that. So

386
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: if you think I'm serious about that, you deserve every

387
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: bit of ridicule you get.

388
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 2: In the comment section.

389
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,959
Speaker 1: Anyway, we went back in the lab today and it

390
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: has to do with Jimbo Fisher, and it has to

391
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: do with Texas A and M. A lot of folks

392
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: don't like this guy. I have come to realize a

393
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: lot of folks don't like Jimbo Fisher. Where do I

394
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: stand on this? A lot of you thought I was

395
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: carrying water for Dabos twenty the other day, even though

396
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 1: I criticized multiple things about him. Sometimes I believe people

397
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: don't watch the videos and they just comment. I don't

398
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: know where that comes from. I just have a crazy

399
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: hunch about that. Anyway, I hop on Twitter today again

400
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: science because I had Look, I had a hypothesis. We

401
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: all know the scientific method. I tested it with an experiment,

402
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: just put out the tweet. The tweet was very simple

403
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: and it asked the following question, what is your opinion

404
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: of Jimbo Fisher. Next thing we have to do have

405
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: to analyze the data and then we report our conclusion.

406
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: And the conclusion, Colin I could have used a drum

407
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: roll here, but that's okay, is Jimbo Fisher is just

408
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: not very well liked in the college football public.

409
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 2: Gasp. So that's our what? But what about the why?

410
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 2: Why is this man not liked? How do I feel

411
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:22,719
Speaker 2: about Jimbo Fisher?

412
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: Strangely, I'm indifferent, and I'm the only person that's indifferent

413
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: on this planet when it comes to Jimbo Fisher. Remember

414
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: we were talking about A and M the other day,

415
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: and I told you I think Jimbo Fisher's a really

416
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: interesting story because there's not there's not hardly anyone out

417
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: there who when they hear his name says ugh could

418
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: take him or leave him, could go either way on him.

419
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: Like you hear Matt Campbell Iowa State, and most of

420
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: you are either an Iowa State fan or you just

421
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: say Matt Campbell. I don't know a ton about him,

422
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: but I don't dislike him. That is not the case

423
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: with Jimbo Fisher. Friends, not the case at all. And

424
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: so what we have here is we have a classic

425
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: heel scenario. We got like a Brett hart nineteen ninety

426
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: six Canada VERSUS America sort of thing, because when you

427
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: go into college station, Jimbo Fisher is roundly applauded.

428
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 2: I e. Brett harding Calgary.

429
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: But then you go down to like Minneapolis, or you

430
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: go to Des Moines, or you go to Saint Louis

431
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: or Little Rock or New Orleans, just working my way

432
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: down the Mississippi, and.

433
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 2: He is booed relentlessly. It's crazy thing. That's Jimbo Fisher

434
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 2: right now.

435
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: And the best I could tell in my scientific research here,

436
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: I gathered the following. There were four of the most

437
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 1: common refrains in that tire fire that was that tweet

438
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: earlier today was number one, people think he's in over

439
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 1: his head. And he's a better offensive coordinator than a CEO,

440
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: which is interesting because he just relinquished play calling duties,

441
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: or so we've been told, and I believe he has.

442
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: By the way, so a lot of folks look and say, eugh,

443
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: program looks a little discombobulated, looks a little bit like

444
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: a mess. Jimbo Fisher, he got thirty seven place sheets

445
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: in his hand, but none of them have shown him

446
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: how to run a successful program in college station so far.

447
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:20,239
Speaker 1: That's feedback bit number one. Feedback bit number two is

448
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: he's just flat out overrated and he's ineffective.

449
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 2: This I get.

450
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: Jimbo Fisher's paid a lot of money, which was also

451
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: another common refrain. He's overpaid a lot of y'all worried

452
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: about how much money another man's making. I've never understood it,

453
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 1: but I get it. I don't have to understand it

454
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: to get it. So the whole overrated thing is Jimbo

455
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: Fisher gets talked about a lot. A lot is expected

456
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: of him because he gets paid a lot. And Texas

457
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: A and M has not gone to Atlanta, they have

458
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: not challenged for the college football Playoff. Well, they've not

459
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: made it. They were in the mix at least one

460
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: of those years. And so if people look at that

461
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 1: and they say, well, to whoms much is given, much

462
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: is expected. I don't have a problem with that line

463
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: of thinking. By the way, I've spoken about this many times.

464
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: As long as you, as a fan base deliver on

465
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 1: your end, it is not unfair at all for you

466
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 1: to expect leadership, including your head coach, to deliver on

467
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: their end. Jimbo Fisher has not done that at a

468
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: high enough level.

469
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 2: So I get that part.

470
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 1: If Aggie fans want to feel that way, I get

471
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: that part. If you're an Arkansas fan or a Missouri fan,

472
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: doesn't impact you. In fact, I think you guys should

473
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: be happy about that. Yet when I hear you guys

474
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: talk about Jimbo, it's like the dude stole your lunch money. No,

475
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: your lunch money is not paying that eighty five some

476
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: odd million dollar buyout. It's money coming from other places.

477
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 2: Anyway.

478
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: There were also some people out there, and this is

479
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: where it gets a little personal, who thought he was

480
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: stubborn and unlikable.

481
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: Those two words tested very highly with the focus group.

482
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: Apparently, stubbornness I get a resistance to change.

483
00:23:58,720 --> 00:23:59,239
Speaker 2: I get it.

484
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: That has been Texas A and M offensively, I get that.

485
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: Now here's what I am always careful to do. Jimbo

486
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: Fisher will be here in a month like not this

487
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: actual studio. I mean, we'd open it up to him,

488
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: but he'll be about two blocks down there at the

489
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 1: Grand Hyatt, will be at SEC media days.

490
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 2: We will sit down with him.

491
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: And if I were to say, dear Jimbo, a lot

492
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: of people think you're stubborn and you resist change. First off,

493
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't get to finish my statement before he started,

494
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 1: because that's a hallmark of his one of his toxic traits,

495
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 1: I would say, And so he would start talking, but

496
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: he would have he would have a mile long list

497
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: of things he would use to push back on that

498
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: resistant to change. But I've done this, this, and this

499
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: now those four things and beyond would be maybe things

500
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: that aren't visible to the naked eye or naked eye,

501
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: as he would probably say, but they are things that

502
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: he has changed. I don't think people technically mean he's

503
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 1: never changed anything. I think when they talk about it,

504
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: it's from more a fifty thousand foot level, and Texas

505
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: A and M hasn't gotten results. And yet we look

506
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: year to year to year and it doesn't look a

507
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: whole lot different on the field. That's the kind of

508
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: resistance to change we're talking about. This is me now

509
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: speaking for the tweeters and the people who gave the feedback,

510
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: so I get that part. I think Jimbo Fisher would

511
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: have reasons why he hasn't done it the way that

512
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: you think he should do. And also he would tell

513
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 1: you it's just a lack of execution. Now that started

514
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: to wear on me a little bit because he's technically right.

515
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: It's one of those things when coaches give feedback, they're

516
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: technically right on. However, as I said last year with

517
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: Hypel and juxtaposing him to Fisher, Josh Hipel, they had

518
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: games at Tennessee last year where I guarantee you when

519
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: he went in the film room the following Sunday and

520
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: they just won a game and hung forty seven on someone, there.

521
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 2: Were dozens of plays.

522
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: He would look and say, we didn't execute perfectly on

523
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: this play, but there was so much wiggle room because

524
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: of the nature of that offense. They just score it anyway.

525
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: Jimbo conversely, is watching on Sunday and he is needing

526
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: every needle to be threaded. He is needing everything to

527
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: go perfectly to pick up first downs and move the ball.

528
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: And that's what people have gotten tired of, and that's

529
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 1: what people look at, including me. I agree with this

530
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: sentiment in twenty twenty three and ask themselves, why do

531
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: why do we settle for this? Why would Jimbo Fisher

532
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: settle for this as his offense when every bit of

533
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: the sport has been tilted in favor of the offense.

534
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 2: You don't need to do it this way anymore.

535
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: So that was number three, number four and this is

536
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: a harsh accusation, but we have to air it out.

537
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: Is some of you claim that Jimbo Fisher is living

538
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 1: off of Jameis Winston. Still, what do we mean by that?

539
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty obvious. But if you're seven years old,

540
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,719
Speaker 1: welcome aboard. You're contributing to our key ten and under demographic.

541
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 1: And if you're seven or younger, you don't remember twenty thirteen,

542
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: You don't remember the national championship that Jimbo Fisher won. What? Yes, kids,

543
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: Jimbo Fisher is a national championship winning head coach. Although

544
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people would say it wasn't so much Jimbo.

545
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: It was Jameis Winston, to which I would respond, are

546
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: you taking away Kirby's title because of Stetson Bennett? Well, no,

547
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 1: they would say, because Stetson didn't carry the team. And

548
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: so then I would ask, okay, fair enough, Saban with

549
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: Mac Jones, or actually Saban with a couple of his

550
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: different quarterbacks. What about Dabo Deshaun Watson? He had there,

551
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence?

552
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 2: Do we apply that.

553
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: Backwards logic to anyone else? Jimbo won a title because

554
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: of a player that he recruited. No, Josh Damian Craig

555
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: recruited him. You mean the one who coached for Jimbo?

556
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 2: Is that right? Yes?

557
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, So conveniently, you know, if you're trying to

558
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: make an argument, sometimes if you're anti a coach, all

559
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: of a sudden, he doesn't get credit for what dudes

560
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: he hired, go do and what players he recruited go

561
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: and do? I don't play that game. So Jimbo Fisher

562
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,479
Speaker 1: is doing exactly what he should do. Jimbo Fisher won

563
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 1: a national championship in twenty thirteen, and he's leveraged it

564
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: as hard as he possibly could. That is no different

565
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: than what I would do in his case or what

566
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: you would do in his case. Now, if you look

567
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: at that and you say, well, it's not me, Josh,

568
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 1: it's him, and I don't like him, there's not much

569
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: I can do about that. After all, it is your opinion.

570
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: I am just using this platform, humbly and respectfully to

571
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: disagree maybe with that little angle, But the merit of

572
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: that argument I get a little bit, because what you're

573
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: saying is everyone looks at this guy a certain way,

574
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: and if I just changed that one little thing in history,

575
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, no one would look at him

576
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: with such reverence. Okay, but the thing did happen, right,

577
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: the thing did happen. You see, I argue the opposite

578
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: and the same folks making this argument about Fisher. If

579
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,719
Speaker 1: you just change that one thing, everyone would believe he's

580
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: a bum. They don't want to go down the road

581
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: with me of Hey, what happens if Ohio State just

582
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: makes that field goal at the end of the playoff

583
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: game last year against Georgia and then they go and

584
00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: body bag TCU.

585
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:00,959
Speaker 2: We all know they would have.

586
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: And you're looking at Ryan Day now and instead of

587
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: calling for his job, you have to call him National

588
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: Championship head coach Ryan Day number one and the Big

589
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: ten power ranking head coaches Ryan Day. Why doesn't anyone

590
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: want to play the inverse of that game? Has always

591
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: been my question. You know, if you want to take

592
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: away one positive thing and look at how it Butterfly

593
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: affects the rest of someone's career, how about taking away

594
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: one negative thing? Or we could even play that game

595
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: in Jimbo Fisher's line of work, in his world, we

596
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: could take away a few negatives that have happened to

597
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: Jimbo self inflicted, though they may have been what if

598
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: we did that? So anyway, those are some of the

599
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: reasons why people claim they don't like Jimbo Fisher. But

600
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: that sets us up for this. If you believe in

601
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: the story arc. Some of you out there have girlfriends,

602
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: I get this story all the time you watch the

603
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: game because you're a hardcore fan, But your biggest quest

604
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: is to find a way to make your significant other

605
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: invested somehow in the game so that she is on

606
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: board with you and you guys are like working as

607
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: a team to plan your social lives in the Fall,

608
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: and you want to get her on board with shunning

609
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: Fall weddings, which is an admirable quest to be on.

610
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: And you guys have told me many times before. While

611
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm watching because I care about the outcome of the game,

612
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: my wife is watching because she.

613
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 2: Just cares about the stories.

614
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: Well, if you want a story for her, or if

615
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: you yourself are into the more storyline based aspect of

616
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: college football, we could be setting up for one of

617
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: the great face turns in the history of college football. Because,

618
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: as far as I can see it, hardly anyone outside

619
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: of Aggie Land likes Jimbo Fisher. Right now, we would

620
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: call that a heel. How do you pull the face turn?

621
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: How does he become a good guy? Here's how it happens.

622
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: Twofold at least number one, the Bobby patrino Hire has

623
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: to work out. If the patrino Hire works out and

624
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: Fisher stays out of the way, and he truly does

625
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: delegate authority and play calling and not in the offense,

626
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: all of a sudden his leaps and bounds better this year,

627
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: A and M's right in the thick of the college

628
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: football playoff race come December. If that's the outcome, everyone

629
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: is praising Jimbo Fisher. Doesn't matter how it actually happened

630
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. History books will say Jimbo pulled the lever,

631
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: he turned the key. He brought Bobby Petrino, and he

632
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: hand picked him. That was his first choice. That's what

633
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: the history books will say. And the winners get to

634
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: write the history books. So if A and M's a

635
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: winner this year, they'll write the history the way they

636
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: want it written, and then we will just dutifully disseminate it.

637
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: So if that happens, imagine how different it feels. All

638
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Jimbo's seen the light. That's what you'll say.

639
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: In December, Jimbo took him a little while, but he

640
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: finally came around. Now that they can move the ball

641
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: effectively down there, now, all of a sudden, everyone remembers

642
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: the amount of talent they have. Oh boy, recruiting's not

643
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: slowing down for them. And then everyone remembers the bottomless

644
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: amount of resources that A and M has. And then

645
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: here's the second part, and this is key. When it

646
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: comes to a face turn, he has to let his

647
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: personality show. Jimbo Fisher's got a great personality. It's one

648
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: of the funniest dudes you could ever be around. He

649
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: talks probably faster than anybody who has ever come from

650
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: the state of West Virginia, Nay, the entire Eastern time zone,

651
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: and that includes New York. I would take Jimbo Fisher

652
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and

653
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: he would talk circles around anyone on the floor, like

654
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: he just defies every stereo type about someone who comes

655
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: from a small country portion of the United States that

656
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: he came from. I came from one of those places.

657
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: I don't talk half as fast as Jimbo does. And

658
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: people back home say I talk too fast, and I'd say,

659
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: let me introduce you to my good buddy Jimbo, who

660
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: hails in College Station, Texas. If those two things happen,

661
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: if the offense is resurrected, and therefore Texas and in

662
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: football is resurrected, and Jimbo gets credit for it. As

663
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: he opens up, you know, as he loosens his tie

664
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: a little bit, as he slows down just enough for

665
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: you to actually understand the words coming out of his mouth.

666
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: Maybe he lets a reporter finish a question every now

667
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: and then smiles a little bit more and just kind

668
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: of let you in. He lets you in on the joke,

669
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: Jimbo Fisher becomes a good guy, and all of a sudden, voila,

670
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: there you are. In twenty twenty seven, Jimbo signed a

671
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: brand new multi year extension. A and M's on top

672
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: of the world or right there in the thick of

673
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: it every year, and Jimbo Fisher has gone from public

674
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: enemy number one.

675
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 2: To Jimbo's okay, to you know who. I kind of

676
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 2: like that.

677
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: I used to not be able to stand Jimbo Fisher.

678
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: You could be looking at it. Of course, things could

679
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: mushroom cloud and crash and burn fantastically this year too.

680
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: That's why it's a story arc. That's why it's a storyline.

681
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: That's why I think a lot of people will be invested.

682
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: I didn't plan the show this way, but it's very

683
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: fitting that I need to talk to you about Academy

684
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: Sports and Outdoors right now because our close personal reps

685
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: from Academy.

686
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 2: You cut them open, they bleed blue because that's.

687
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: The store colors. But then all of a sudden, some

688
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: maroon mixes in.

689
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 2: Big A and M folks, they love them. I whisper

690
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 2: that because I don't want our friends in Austin, Texas

691
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 2: to be deterred.

692
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: You guys have outdoor sporting goods plus needs. You go

693
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: to Academy Sports and Outdoors. They're not shocked full of

694
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: Aggie employees. I can promise you there's a very diversified

695
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: work staff there. It's just my contacts.

696
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 2: They roll with the Aggies.

697
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors rolls with us. They have for

698
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,720
Speaker 1: a long time. We appreciate that it is Father's Day today.

699
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 1: We have made it thirty four minutes into the show.

700
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 2: Shame on me.

701
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there, especially

702
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: one in particular, because look at what Jeff Mobley sent

703
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 1: us on Twitter if you're listening on podcasts, he sent

704
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: us the following the fact that my family purchased my

705
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: Father's Day gift at Academy is proof I'm doing a

706
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: great job.

707
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 2: What more could you want in life?

708
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: You know, you raise your children, you're just trying to

709
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 1: keep them off the street, out of jail, and then

710
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they go and they buy you

711
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: Father's Day gifts from Academy, and it's what a proud daddy.

712
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: We have someone that goes by that very moniker in

713
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 1: this office. But Jeff's a proud daddy for a totally

714
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: different reason than she is. So Academy Sports and Outdoors

715
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: making a lot of things possible this Father's Day, and

716
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: be on if you can't get there in person. Okay,

717
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 1: Academy dot Com has your hookup. I don't know why

718
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: because I've been saying it forever, but all of a sudden,

719
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: people are dming me like, I'm glad you started to

720
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 1: mention the online part because I don't have an Academy

721
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: in my backyard. And then I type out where have

722
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: you been? I've been, and then I just backspace say

723
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: thank you handshake emoji and we move on.

724
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 2: So Happy Father's Day to everyone.

725
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 1: And you know tomorrow the sun will rise, Academy will

726
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: still be there. And so you're building towards your camping trip,

727
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: you're building towards a seven on seven football tournament. They

728
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: got you covered from cones to cleats and everything in between,

729
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: and you guys are free to use that.

730
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 2: Let's move it on. Okay, Bold prediction time. We got

731
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 2: a loaded show. Guys. We're not even close to done.

732
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: I've got an update on something you guys have been

733
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: asking for that's coming up. I have some elite eleven

734
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: nuggets to give you. I have a wedding invitation to

735
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: tell you about Florida is on fire under Billy Napier.

736
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk some Notre Dame like we got a

737
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: loaded show. So yeah, it's June, but doesn't matter around

738
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:28,919
Speaker 1: here because there's no off season.

739
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:31,439
Speaker 2: Bold prediction time.

740
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,479
Speaker 1: What do you believe about this year that you would

741
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: bet your money on. Well, we got some boldness tonight

742
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: and then we got one that I don't think is

743
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: bold at all. So a very very mixed sort of potpourri.

744
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,240
Speaker 2: Of boldness in the show this evening.

745
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 1: Let's go with the first one, and it takes us

746
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: to the Big Twelve from Oklahoma City. Oklahoma will take

747
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve championship with us on our way out

748
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: of the conference and play in the College Football Playoff.

749
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: Brent Vinnables proves the hater's wrong. I put an eight

750
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: point twenty five on this prediction. So Oklahoma has the

751
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: second best odds to win the conference. This wouldn't be bold,

752
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: but remember they got to win the conference and they

753
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: got to go to the playoff. Oh and by the way,

754
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: they've got to recover from barely making a bowl game

755
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: last year, So I know they're over underwin totals like

756
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: nine or nine and a half. That's not a guarantee,

757
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: that's just a number Vegas puts out. So this is

758
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: almost like a bold prediction slash a what if? You know,

759
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: we do the what if segment on the show as well,

760
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: what if Oklahoma wins the Big Twelve? What if Oklahoma

761
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: goes to the College Football Playoff? Think about the turnaround

762
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: on the national narrative around brent Venables. We haven't necessarily

763
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: done the whole what is your opinion on Brenton Venables?

764
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 2: Thing?

765
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: Yet there are some folks who have already sold their

766
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: stock on him. He's barely been in his office a

767
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: calendar year, and I'm certainly not there yet.

768
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 2: There's a lot that remains to be seen.

769
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: But man, when you're recruiting and portaling inside the top ten,

770
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: in other words, when you're making sure you have talent

771
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: and you're nailing it at the quarterback position, I'm not

772
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: giving up on you after one year, not even close.

773
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: And I am given up on Brenton Venables, not even close.

774
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: So that's the whole what if part of it. But

775
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: the bold prediction here is they just will win the

776
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: Big Twelve, they will go to the playoff. It's all

777
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,720
Speaker 1: about defense. They were ninety ninth last year in points

778
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: per game allowed. That has to change. Obviously, you would

779
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: think you got the right head coach to try and

780
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: make that happen. Here's the producer Jesse stat that I

781
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: keep throwing at you when it comes to odds. When

782
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: you look at the Big Twelve and you line all

783
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: the teams up and you look at the odds to

784
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 1: win the Big Twelve championship, Oklahoma's got a really workable

785
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: schedule by Big Twelve standards. They play seven of the

786
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 1: eight bottom teams on the odds list. Does that guarantee anything? No,

787
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: but certainly if you're looking for favorability and your way

788
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: to snake your way to ten or eleven wins, yeah,

789
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: that's favorable. Also, remember everyone's criticizing Georgia for their soft

790
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: schedule this year. Well, part of the reason Georgia's schedule

791
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: is a landfill is because the SEC stepped in and

792
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: made Georgia cancel a game with Oklahoma. Yeah that happened.

793
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,959
Speaker 1: What in Georgia's fault? What in Oklahoma's fault? Everyone looks

794
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: at the Georgia side of that equation, how about Oklahomas

795
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 1: I take Georgia off this schedule and all of a sudden,

796
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: SMU is their toughest out of conference game. Now, SMU

797
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,720
Speaker 1: is not a joke, but SMU is not UGA either.

798
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: So I make this an eight point twenty five and

799
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: no bolder because I think it could happen. It's a

800
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: tough year one to year two jump, but this is

801
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: not out of the roma possibility at all. Oklahoma in

802
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,800
Speaker 1: the playoff though, That's why it's an eight and a

803
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: quarter and not seven and a half or seven. Let's

804
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: go to the big ten whys from ok Columbus Ohio

805
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 1: Just whyse He said both Ohio State and Michigan are

806
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: eleven and zero when they meet in the game and

807
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: they both make the playoff. Noticed that second part there

808
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 1: a lot of emphasis. So when's the last time this happened?

809
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 2: Last year?

810
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: If you need case study, you need to know what

811
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: this could look like, just go back to last year. Oh,

812
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: by the way, I think I should say that sentence

813
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: like this, When is the last time that Michigan and

814
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: Ohio State faced off undefeated and both went to the

815
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: playoff last year? As predicted on this show. Everyone loved

816
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,879
Speaker 1: to throw that Iowa State prediction at me from two

817
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: years ago, knowing full well that was.

818
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 2: Made with heart not head. But everyone wants to leave.

819
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: Out the fact that, yeah, we just flat out called

820
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: this happening, saw it from ten miles away. Well is

821
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: it going to happen again this year? They both have

822
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: the same win totals ten and a half. Ohio State

823
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 1: now slightly favored to win the Big Ten.

824
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 2: That just keeps jostling back and forth. Jesse, look up

825
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 2: the word jostling for me? Is it? Is there a

826
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 2: t in there? This is the time of year you

827
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 2: want to learn out of the bright fall spot line.

828
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: So I guess if we're going to take a vocabulary lesson,

829
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: tonight's the night Michigan has one opponent with a win

830
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: total over seven. Bad schedule, Well, good for them. Bad

831
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: If anyone wants to be entertained by watching Michigan outside

832
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: of Michigan this year, that is the trip to Penn State.

833
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 2: That's it.

834
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,760
Speaker 1: That's after the Purdue game. That is the second week

835
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: I think in November. That's the only opponent they have

836
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: with a preseason win total over seven. Ohio State has

837
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: four of those teams, and that would be Western Kentucky.

838
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 1: Believe it or not, Yes, Western Kentucky, Penn State, they

839
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: got Wisconsin, they got Notre Dame.

840
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 2: The last two are on the road, by the way,

841
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 2: so Ohio State's got a tougher road to get there.

842
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna be favorite. Both of them are gonna be

843
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: favored to do this. They both have top four college

844
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: football playoff odds. They need some things to fall, though,

845
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: not to be undefeated when they play each other, they

846
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,280
Speaker 1: control that, but for both of them to make the playoff.

847
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: Remember last year, Tennessee just went and got bodied by

848
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: South Carolina. If that doesn't happen, Tennessee's probably in the playoff.

849
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: USC lost the Pac twelve championship game. Caleb Williams is hurt.

850
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: Utah fans would say, that's not what the side of

851
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: the game. My point is, we can't know one way

852
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: or the other. But USC losing the Pac twelve championship

853
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: game that also opened the door for Ohio State to

854
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: get back in there. If either of those things doesn't happen,

855
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: Ohio State's out. So you gotta have things go perfectly

856
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,879
Speaker 1: and some luck, and in this scenario, you probably need

857
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: Michigan to win the game. Because Michigan's got the softer schedule,

858
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 1: it's far more likely Ohio State could afford a loss,

859
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: and their strength of schedule like it did last year,

860
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: would still boost.

861
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:38,800
Speaker 2: Them in there.

862
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: I don't know a Buckeye fan worth his or her

863
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: salt that even wants to entertain that though. They just

864
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: want to win the game, take care of it that way.

865
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: In the PAC twelve bold prediction from DJ he said

866
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: Utah will three peat as PAC twelve champs. From Salt

867
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:59,240
Speaker 1: Lake City producer Jesse, the Cam Rising of our office

868
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: offers the following feedback. We don't know about came Rising,

869
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: signed Cam Rising. He's talking about health. I assume he'll

870
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 1: be ready to go for fall camp. And that's a

871
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: bold assumption. But we are nothing if not bold around here.

872
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: There's like a six pack of contenders in the PAC twelve.

873
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: And when I mean that, When I say that, I

874
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: mean if you look at the odds, or if you

875
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: just look at it with your own eyes, you know

876
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 1: that you got usc you got Oregon, you got Washington,

877
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 1: Utah and Oregon State and UCLA also round out that

878
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 1: top six. And once you get past that, it's a

879
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: pretty steep drop off until you get to the pretty

880
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 1: much the back half of the conference. So here's the

881
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 1: thing about Utah's schedule. Out of all the teams in

882
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 1: that top six, Utah is the team that has to

883
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: play the other five in that top six, So it

884
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: is not an easy schedule whatsoever. They are twenty third

885
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: in returning production, which is pretty good, but USC which

886
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: figures to be a team they would have to jump over,

887
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: is tenth, and I am for that reason making this

888
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: prediction an eight point seventy five. The odds are never

889
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: in Utah's favor. They always defy them, and so this

890
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 1: is no different. It's not me doubting them, it's just

891
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: me understanding in the preseason I would lean other teams

892
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: over Utah, which is their existence. And they make fools

893
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: out of people who say sorts of things like that regularly,

894
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 1: and they'll have to do it again because I'm saying

895
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: eight point seventy five. However, if you want to be entertained,

896
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,280
Speaker 1: they open against Florida and they play Baylor, I believe,

897
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: the very next week. So you got to give two

898
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:42,720
Speaker 1: thumbs up for Utah scheduling tough out of conference games.

899
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 1: Knowing they still got to play a really, really tough

900
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: stretch in conference. Last bold prediction, You tell me how bold.

901
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 2: You think this is.

902
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 1: This is from Austin, Texas. I think Florida State finishes

903
00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:00,959
Speaker 1: with eight or fewer wins no ACC championship game.

904
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 2: How bold is that eight or fewer?

905
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:11,439
Speaker 1: I put this at six point seventy five. Although it's

906
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,760
Speaker 1: not the way I'm going to predict Florida State season.

907
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 2: This is not bold.

908
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: Because if you're if you're doing the whole prediction thing,

909
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,399
Speaker 1: kind of like if you're an odds maker, if you're

910
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: setting the over underwin total, which is eight and a

911
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: half for FSU, you have to take all possible scenarios

912
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: into account. So there's the one scenario where Jordan Travis

913
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: and company they shine all year and Florida State's undefeated

914
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: regular season and they go win the ACC championship game.

915
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that could happen.

916
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:43,280
Speaker 1: But also there is the flip side. This is sports,

917
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: it's not scripted, this is real life, and the flip

918
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: side would probably include things like that blue chip ratio

919
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: only being at forty one percent, costing Florida State, and

920
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 1: that flip side would probably leave you to conclude that

921
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: all the hype for Florida State was a mirage built

922
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 1: on beating Georgia Tech Miami in a terrible year, Syracuse, Louisiana,

923
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: Florida in a terrible year, lost to Oklahoma and the

924
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 1: Bowl game.

925
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 2: Like that built the.

926
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: Hype bubble for Florida State this year, And what is

927
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: it really based on. I said they lost, they beat

928
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: they beat Oklahoma in the bowl game. But that's what

929
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,959
Speaker 1: the hype bubbles built on. Now I don't I don't

930
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: necessarily care about that because you play who you have

931
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: in front of you, and you win the games, and

932
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: I don't care if they were ranked or not, Like

933
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: you took care of your business. What I'm saying is

934
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 1: if things go sideways this year and they don't win

935
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: more than eight games, it probably would be. As it

936
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:48,399
Speaker 1: turns out, the hype was a little bit of a mirage.

937
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: And the reason I don't think it's so bold to

938
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,240
Speaker 1: suggest that is because I've seen it happen a million

939
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: times before. This would just be a million and one.

940
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: So am I high on Florida State? Absolutely, I am.

941
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: Do I acknowledge that I could be wrong. Yeah, that's

942
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,359
Speaker 1: what this whole segment's about So that's only a six

943
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 1: point seventy five for me. Florida State going eight and

944
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: four for example, predicting that is not bold. They're over

945
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 1: unders eight and a half. Guys, that is not bold

946
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: at all. Okay, moving on, I've got an update. I

947
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: don't know why I wasted a whole piece of paper

948
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: to write two words here. The two words, well, I

949
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:23,360
Speaker 1: guess they're three words.

950
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 2: So there you go. Let me give myself a little

951
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 2: bit of a credit.

952
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: There is this thing that a lot of you have

953
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 1: been asking me about, and I have not responded to any.

954
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 2: Of you, maybe a couple.

955
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: Because I have had to make sure I have my

956
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,479
Speaker 1: ducks in a row. But they're in a row now.

957
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how Dan Lanning does it up there.

958
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: It is tough to get ducks in a row, but

959
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: we got ours in a row.

960
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 2: Now.

961
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 1: The Late kickstory is going to open back up, and

962
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: it's going to be unlike anything you saw last year,

963
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: probably last year on steroids. I am very excited about

964
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 1: what we're going to be able to bring you totally revamped.

965
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 1: We shut the whole thing down, we burned it to

966
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: the ground, and we rebuilt from the ground up.

967
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 2: Gonna be pretty good.

968
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 1: So I am probably about a month away from giving

969
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:16,439
Speaker 1: you the launch date, but the bottom line is, yes,

970
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: it is going to be back.

971
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 2: It will be back well before the season.

972
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 1: Gets underway, and it will be wonderful because we are

973
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 1: accepting nothing less this year. Belton, South Carolina is tuned in. Jacksonville,

974
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 1: Florida is tuned in. Corpus Christy, Texas is tuned in.

975
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. I had a tweet from one

976
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 1: of you that asked a question that I didn't expect,

977
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 1: but you know what, that's why we do the show.

978
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: Unexpected questions come my way all the time. Let me

979
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: take a sip out of the chalice right quick, and

980
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,959
Speaker 1: let me get to mister Guy's tweet. Okay, Colin, here's

981
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: your endpoint. Mister Guy from Benton, Arkansas. He asked, Well,

982
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 1: he said, you haven't given many opinions on the Elite

983
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 1: eleven finals even though you were out there. Who did

984
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 1: you like the most? And he's right. We actually did

985
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: a live show from the field in Los Angeles last Thursday,

986
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: and I didn't even talk about the Elite eleven Finals,

987
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 1: which were kind of happening as we were doing the show.

988
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 1: Actually a high school team was practicing as we were

989
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: doing the literal show, but the finals were later that night.

990
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 1: I waited a little while because I wanted to see

991
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 1: what all the other recruiting services said about the finals.

992
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 1: And I wanted to see what our guys, what Ivan said,

993
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: what wilt Fong said, blairing Gula was out like a

994
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 1: bunch of our folks were out there. Cooper and at

995
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: least I probably left like a bunch of people out.

996
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 2: Biggins was out there.

997
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,919
Speaker 1: So I wanted to read what everyone else said. Because

998
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: I had my thoughts. I'll deliver them to you now.

999
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 1: So Julie and Sayin ended up winning the MVP wire

1000
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 1: to wire. I thought he was probably the best one

1001
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: I saw. That's the Alabama commit sat down with us.

1002
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 1: In fact, all the quarterbacks sat down with us. Wilt

1003
00:49:57,640 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 1: Fong and I went one on one with every one

1004
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 1: of them. Talked to Julian, saying a couple of times,

1005
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: really good kid, really well put together, pretty advanced in

1006
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: terms of accuracy. Especially man, that dude get hit a

1007
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: coke bottle from like a mile away. It is not

1008
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,439
Speaker 1: surprising to me that Alabama got out ahead of things,

1009
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 1: did a great evaluation here. He's been committed there for

1010
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 1: a while. I loved what I saw from him. He

1011
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: won the Alpha Dog Award from US. He won the

1012
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 1: finals MVP, which he probably wasn't favored to do. But

1013
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,359
Speaker 1: I told Jesse, I think I told you off the air,

1014
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:33,399
Speaker 1: I kind of leaned towards him when I was going

1015
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 1: out there last week.

1016
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:35,800
Speaker 2: That was just an opinion.

1017
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: So you know what, since my opinion off air panned out,

1018
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 1: let me proceed to give ourselves a ton of credit

1019
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 1: on air for that. I liked Julian saying he's a

1020
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 1: four star right now. He's from California. Alabama just recruits

1021
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:52,919
Speaker 1: California quarterbacks, now, that's kind of what they do. We'll

1022
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 1: see what his rating ends up. A fifth star would

1023
00:50:56,719 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: not surprise me. But I don't know anything. Let me

1024
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 1: stress that I have not sat in on the rankings council.

1025
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,800
Speaker 1: In fact, when I sat next to Ivans and Wilt

1026
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: Fong the other day up in the bleachers, they walked

1027
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:12,359
Speaker 1: down a few rows, not immediately, but eventually they did.

1028
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what they said down there, you know.

1029
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,759
Speaker 1: And you know, so I tried to get us some dirt.

1030
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 1: I tried to get us some scoop and I couldn't

1031
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 1: get any, so Julian saying I liked him. Dylan Raola

1032
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 1: is the number one player in the country, number one

1033
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 1: quarterback in the country. He's committed to Georgia. The ball

1034
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: comes out of his hand differently than any player I saw.

1035
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: Some guys have to effort velocity on their throes. If

1036
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: you've ever been around a quarterback, or if you've ever

1037
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: been around a big league pitcher, you've seen what it

1038
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,720
Speaker 1: looks like when guys have what they call easy gas

1039
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:50,319
Speaker 1: easy velocity. For some reason, it looks like the ball

1040
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: comes out of their hand twice as fast as it

1041
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 1: looked like. It looks like their hand is moving. Dylan

1042
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,760
Speaker 1: Rayola is that Did he win the MVP?

1043
00:51:59,080 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 2: No, he didn't.

1044
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:01,880
Speaker 1: Did he win the Alpha Dog Award? Did he win

1045
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: all the other awards? All the other companies have not? Necessarily,

1046
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: if I had the JP Top ten, Dylan Roola would

1047
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 1: not be dropping in my rankings. He would not be

1048
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,320
Speaker 1: losing a star in my rankings.

1049
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 2: He is really good. I saw what the hype was about.

1050
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 1: He is physically probably developed along the lines of what

1051
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: you would expect a second or third year NFL quarterback

1052
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 1: to look like I just mean physically, I'm not talking

1053
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 1: about his game. He looks like he's about twenty five

1054
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:31,799
Speaker 1: years old, and he.

1055
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 2: Is not that.

1056
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:34,359
Speaker 1: He's still got his senior year in high school to go.

1057
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 1: So six three two twenty he's every bit of that.

1058
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:42,320
Speaker 1: Skinny ankles. Always check the ankles for you guys. Skinny ankles,

1059
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:46,360
Speaker 1: big calves though, and that concludes my physical evaluation of

1060
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 1: Dylan Royola.

1061
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Georgia had.

1062
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 1: Two of them out there, and they've they've started to

1063
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 1: hit on quarterback and that's probably not good.

1064
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 2: News for the rest of the SEC.

1065
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: However, that wasn't the favorite quarterback I had out there.

1066
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 1: The favorite quarterback. The quarterback that I liked the most

1067
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 1: was a kid by the name of Will Hammon who

1068
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 1: is committed to Texas Tech. And he was not favored

1069
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,240
Speaker 1: by anyone to win the MVP nor the Alpha Dog Award.

1070
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 1: But you know what, at Paate State, we have our

1071
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,319
Speaker 1: own awards, and so if we want to name the

1072
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: Pate State Freight of the Week, it was Will Hammon.

1073
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 2: Loved him.

1074
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 1: First kid I talked to out there. He was he

1075
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:30,439
Speaker 1: was probably when it comes to the wisdom beyond your

1076
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: Year's department. If there's one kid who talked like he

1077
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: was forty five years old with a family and a

1078
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: reasonable mortgage and two cars in the driveway and a

1079
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 1: dog to take care of, it's Will Hammon.

1080
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 2: Just sounds like he's lived life.

1081
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:48,399
Speaker 1: Sounds like he could seamlessly explain route concepts or how

1082
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: to balance a checkbook. He could seamlessly change a protection

1083
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage, but also, you know, give

1084
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: you some auto purchase advice. He's just that kind of guy,

1085
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 1: and I love talk talking to him. He is also

1086
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 1: physically pretty advanced. Joey McGuire and company out there in Lubbock,

1087
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 1: they ought to look very very much forward to the

1088
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:12,840
Speaker 1: day that guy begins starting games for them at quarterback.

1089
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: Could not say enough good things about Will Hammon. Now

1090
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 1: he didn't know this because I am a professional, So

1091
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 1: when we spoke to him, I kept these feelings to

1092
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,320
Speaker 1: a minimum. But when he was out there on the field,

1093
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: I was talking to Kenny, I was talking to some

1094
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,359
Speaker 1: of our guys out there. I would be lying if

1095
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 1: I said that we didn't have some friendly wagers riding

1096
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 1: on the rounds that Will Hammond was taking in his

1097
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 1: pro day so William made me a lot of money.

1098
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:40,800
Speaker 1: I don't know the nil rules. I don't think I

1099
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:42,360
Speaker 1: can share any of it with you see me in

1100
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: three or four years. But yeah, will Hammond Payton State

1101
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:48,800
Speaker 1: material love that kid. Aaron Nolan, left handed kid, committed

1102
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 1: to Ohio State. He was the other one much like

1103
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:56,319
Speaker 1: Hammond that when he talked, he just sounded older than

1104
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 1: he is. He didn't look older than he is. In fact,

1105
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 1: he looks exactly like an Ohio State quarterback would look physically,

1106
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: but from the neck up. I always love to gauge

1107
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 1: that about guys, and there were none of them that

1108
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:12,320
Speaker 1: seemed their age. Frankly, they were all pretty advanced mentally.

1109
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:14,720
Speaker 1: Obviously they're going to be advanced physically.

1110
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 2: But Nolan.

1111
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: I didn't get to talk to him a lot on

1112
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:19,319
Speaker 1: day one, but when we sat down with him on

1113
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:22,840
Speaker 1: day two. You know, some guys, when you ask him questions,

1114
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:27,280
Speaker 1: it's like they have a programmed response. They've been coached

1115
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,439
Speaker 1: on how to talk. Nolan's not like that. I'm sure

1116
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: he's been coached. But he's a guy who's really able

1117
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 1: to articulate his thoughts. He's able to explain things. He

1118
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 1: kind of thinks and talks like a coach would, honestly,

1119
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:42,400
Speaker 1: more so than a high school quarterback. And so Ryan

1120
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:46,360
Speaker 1: Day and that entire offensive staff up there, Corey Dennis,

1121
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 1: he credited him a lot. Friend of the program. Corey Dennis,

1122
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:50,880
Speaker 1: he's helped us out of time or two behind us.

1123
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:52,439
Speaker 1: And let me tell you something bout Corey Dennis. Corey

1124
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 1: Dennis is good people. He doesn't look for any credit,

1125
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 1: and so I won't publicize it for him.

1126
00:55:57,600 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 2: There was a.

1127
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 1: Viewer of ours not too long ago that was in

1128
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 1: need and Corey Dennis came through. So hats offt love

1129
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: Corey Dennis quarterback coach up there at Ohio State. And

1130
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:13,839
Speaker 1: also that entire staff when they go and they look,

1131
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 1: they cast their net and they're recruiting quarterbacks and they're

1132
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 1: recruiting offensive skill. They don't take a back seat to anyone.

1133
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: And so when they decide you're their guy, it carries

1134
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 1: a lot of weight with me. And it's really obvious

1135
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: when you sit down with there Nolan to understand why

1136
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:29,680
Speaker 1: Ohio State liked him.

1137
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 2: So those were some of the names. But I got

1138
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 2: to tell you something.

1139
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 1: I know that recruiting rankings is always an inexact science.

1140
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: But you can never convince me that quarterbacks in nineteen

1141
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:46,359
Speaker 1: ninety seven sound like these dudes do now. It's impossible.

1142
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 1: I know they're the same age as they were back then,

1143
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:54,479
Speaker 1: but the quarterback today is exposed to so much more

1144
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 1: from like eighth or ninth grade on in many.

1145
00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:58,400
Speaker 2: Of their cases.

1146
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:02,760
Speaker 1: That by the time you get to being a senior

1147
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 1: in high school, you've done one hundred interviews. You have

1148
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:10,320
Speaker 1: taken so many more physical reps. Also, you've done the

1149
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: seven on seven circuit in all likelihood, so you have

1150
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 1: exposed yourself to more repetition. You have exposed yourself to

1151
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 1: more of the world outside just your bedroom and your

1152
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 1: kitchen table and your classroom at high school and your

1153
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 1: high school football field than you ever could have a

1154
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 1: generation to go. More eyeballs have been on you times

1155
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 1: one hundred than ever would have been back in nineteen

1156
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 1: ninety seven. In nineteen ninety seven, which I'm making sound

1157
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 1: like ancient times, like you were getting water via aqueduct. No,

1158
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 1: that's not all that long ago. But in nineteen ninety seven,

1159
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 1: let's just be real about it. If you were a

1160
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 1: hardcore recruiting fan, was it Forrest Davis? You were looking

1161
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 1: at parade magazines. You were getting your information totally different

1162
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 1: than you would have even ten years later, much less now. Well,

1163
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: that means that you know more about kids. Scouts know

1164
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 1: more about kids. Everything you need to know is on

1165
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 1: the internet, and everything you need to see is on

1166
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 1: the internet. And so what I'm saying that for is

1167
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:14,439
Speaker 1: I'm saying from a scouting and evaluation standpoint, guys are

1168
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 1: not missing on quarterback evaluations and rankings very much. If

1169
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 1: you have a bust, or you have a kid who's underrated,

1170
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 1: it goes on to shine from this point forward. It's

1171
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 1: probably either gonna because they physically developed later, or it's

1172
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 1: gonna be because of things outside of an evaluator's control happens.

1173
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 1: So you know, if a kid's ranked five stars and

1174
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 1: he goes and mentally he's just not in it in

1175
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 1: college and gets in trouble and is not in the

1176
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 1: playbook like he needs to be, well, that's not on

1177
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 1: a physical evaluator. That's not a Steve Wilfong or Andrew

1178
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 1: Ivans to see. I mean, they're judging the player. It's

1179
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:52,920
Speaker 1: largely a neck down thing, and you can sprinkle in

1180
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 1: some anecdotal neck up evidence, but by and large, you

1181
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:58,920
Speaker 1: rank a kid five stars and he doesn't pan out

1182
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 1: nine times out of ten, it's going to because of

1183
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 1: something non physical, or if it's physical, it's injury. But

1184
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 1: the three star kid that ends up going on to

1185
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 1: becoming a first round NFL draft pick, that probably is

1186
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 1: going to be because he developed later. Fewer and fewer

1187
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 1: are going to be the examples of guys who were

1188
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 1: just overlooked because of how hard it is to be

1189
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 1: overlooked now. And the other thing I take away from

1190
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:24,919
Speaker 1: it is because of all that exposure.

1191
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 2: All these dudes talk like they're thirty, all of them.

1192
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:31,960
Speaker 1: You cannot imagine if you could be around those guys

1193
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 1: all at the same time like I was this past week,

1194
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 1: And then you have to remind yourself they're seventeen, sixteen, seventeen,

1195
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 1: or in some cases eighteen years old.

1196
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 2: It's mind boggling.

1197
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 1: Because you can think back to whatever you were, like,

1198
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:46,959
Speaker 1: I don't care if you're twenty now or you're eighty now,

1199
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 1: think back to what your mentality was when you were

1200
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 1: seventeen years old. It's nothing like them. They are nothing

1201
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 1: like you. They are nothing like I was if I

1202
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 1: was seventeen years old, if you just took a temperature.

1203
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 1: If you put a thermometer in my brain at seventeen,

1204
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 1: and you saw what was bouncing around up there, you

1205
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 1: saw what I was focused on, what I was most

1206
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 1: concerned with, what I prioritized. It is not what Dylan

1207
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 1: Reola or Julian Sayan are thinking about or prioritizing. That's

1208
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 1: a credit to parenting, it's a credit to coaching, and

1209
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 1: it's also a credit in a kind of weird way,

1210
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 1: to the recruiting industry because of the added focus and

1211
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 1: emphasis that it's placed not only just on high school

1212
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 1: football players, but then even further on the quarterback position.

1213
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 1: Camps like Elite eleven have placed that emphasis on the

1214
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 1: quarterback position to the point where guys have matured, they

1215
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:44,439
Speaker 1: just mature a whole lot quicker than they do. It's

1216
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 1: like the Tiger Woods effect, except for everyone. I'm not

1217
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 1: saying all of them are the Tiger Woods of football,

1218
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 1: but man, you listen to him talk, those are not kids.

1219
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 1: Far from it.

1220
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 2: Oh.

1221
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: Also, there's the thing that I got to observe again

1222
01:00:58,040 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 1: for the second year in a row, and that is

1223
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:03,080
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, who once upon a time was a high

1224
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 1: school quarterback he is not anymore. He is the reigning

1225
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy winner. He will try and lead USC to

1226
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs this year. Caleb Williams does some stuff with

1227
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 1: a football in his hand.

1228
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 2: I have not seen anyone else do.

1229
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 1: Last year, we were out there, okay, and he's just

1230
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 1: messing around in sweatpants. He's standing on the fifty and

1231
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 1: he's throwing balls and hitting the goal post, which in

1232
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 1: and of itself means you're throwing the ball sixty yards.

1233
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 1: But he's also hitting the goal post. And he did

1234
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 1: it twice last year, and I watched it in person.

1235
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:39,480
Speaker 1: There were no warm up tries. Let's go twelve or

1236
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 1: fifteen times. When we finally hit it, we'll just use

1237
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: that footage. There wasn't any of that. He did it

1238
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:45,919
Speaker 1: again this year.

1239
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:48,720
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1240
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's not luck. I'm telling you he's

1241
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 1: just that good. And then I watch him in pennis.

1242
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 1: Michael Pennix was out there too, quarterback from Washington. When

1243
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 1: you see developed quarterbacks, when you see guys that have

1244
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 1: all the precision from all the high level training built

1245
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 1: into everything about them mechanically, from the time they take

1246
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 1: a snap to the time the ball leaves their hand.

1247
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 1: It's wild. It's crazy to watch how accurate a high level,

1248
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 1: future first round caliber quarterback he is. Or of course,

1249
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 1: if you're around NFL quarterbacks, when you watch them, there

1250
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 1: is like a car wreck going on around them. But

1251
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 1: if you ever get them in a controlled setting where

1252
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 1: they're just thrown against air and they're not worried about

1253
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 1: getting their head taken off, it's incredible. The accuracy is unbelievable.

1254
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 1: I wish I could take you guys on the field

1255
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 1: and let you watch that. The ball whistles when it

1256
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 1: leaves their hand, and it goes exactly where they want

1257
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 1: it to every single time inside fifty yards. It's really incredible.

1258
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 1: So those were my takeaways from Elite eleven. I know

1259
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 1: it's talking about Caleb Williams. Man, Michael Pennix is a

1260
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 1: really good looking player. Michael Pennix is a guy at Washington,

1261
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 1: a left hander. Some people thought he may test the

1262
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 1: NFL draft. Waters He's going back to Washington for his

1263
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 1: senior year. They are loaded at quarterback in the Pac twelve.

1264
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a good year out there.

1265
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 2: Okay. By the way, man, I think it stuns people

1266
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:19,200
Speaker 2: that we do shows this long in June. Not met tough.

1267
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 2: I smell poverty. What is that?

1268
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 1: Oh it's just a Cole kublick text during the show.

1269
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,800
Speaker 1: I'll get to him later. Remember to like the video

1270
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:31,240
Speaker 1: please and subscribe to the channel. As I said earlier,

1271
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 1: how are we gonna get this thing to two hundred

1272
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 1: thousand subs by the time kickoff rolls around? I don't

1273
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:39,880
Speaker 1: know the answer. You know the answer, So you tell me.

1274
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 1: How are we getting there? Got to get there somehow. Gainesville,

1275
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 1: Florida just on fire right now, but in a good way.

1276
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 1: You see, it changes like every other week. If I

1277
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 1: say that about Florida football, you think, oh no, what

1278
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 1: happened now.

1279
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:56,479
Speaker 2: As a matter of.

1280
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:59,080
Speaker 1: Fact, the other night, the eye Josh started lighting up,

1281
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:03,000
Speaker 1: and I said, oh no, because I know certain people

1282
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 1: only text me when it's about Florida, and like three

1283
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:08,280
Speaker 1: of them more on my home screen. Oh no, what

1284
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 1: is Billy taking a sabbatical?

1285
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 2: What happened?

1286
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 1: No, Billy's not taking a sabbatical. Billy has gone radical

1287
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 1: actually on the recruiting trail. So here's the thing about

1288
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:20,760
Speaker 1: Billy Napier. Everyone keeps changing their mind on him, and

1289
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 1: you really just need to sit still you need to

1290
01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 1: see why t If you don't know the acronym I

1291
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 1: don't know, ask one.

1292
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 2: Of your buddies.

1293
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 1: People just need to calm down on Billy Napier. I

1294
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 1: got folks calling this dude broke down Billy. I got

1295
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 1: folks calling in blue chip Billy, and it's the same

1296
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:38,320
Speaker 1: person over a forty eight hour period. Make up your

1297
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 1: mind on Billy Napier as my first request tonight. Secondly,

1298
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 1: do you have any idea what just happened down there Gainesville, Florida,

1299
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 1: the epicenter of the recruiting world this past weekend, and

1300
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:51,480
Speaker 1: I got to read you.

1301
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna read you a message.

1302
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 1: From one of our buddies over on the Swamp twenty

1303
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 1: four to seven message board quote. You got to explain

1304
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 1: the emotional roller coaster. We just went through. Explain it

1305
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 1: to the masses. We were checking the Florida directory for

1306
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 1: Austin Simmons for the past three or four months, and

1307
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 1: then he had a visit, and then another company reported

1308
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:14,760
Speaker 1: he's reclassifying and coming to Florida, and then he flips

1309
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: to Ole, miss and then we land four top two

1310
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty players, including three in about ninety minutes,

1311
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 1: tell our story and be sure to call out simmons

1312
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:26,919
Speaker 1: dad's quote and how charm and soft it was. By

1313
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:30,480
Speaker 1: the way, we play Ole Miss next year. So that's

1314
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:31,680
Speaker 1: how Florida's weekend went.

1315
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:32,960
Speaker 2: For those of you.

1316
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 1: Who were living your lives and have no earthly idea

1317
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 1: what I just read. Let me tell you this weekend

1318
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 1: was an all timer for Florida.

1319
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:42,400
Speaker 2: So it starts on Saturday.

1320
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 1: I have like a down to the minute timeline the

1321
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 1: staff has provided me. So Saturday they wake up. Let's

1322
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 1: just call at eleven am. Austin Simmons, a twenty twenty

1323
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 1: five quarterback, has reclassified not to twenty twenty four, but

1324
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:03,000
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty three. That's right, friends, he skipped ahead

1325
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 1: two grades because apparently he graduated high school in like

1326
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. That's its own conversation. And oh, what's he doing?

1327
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:14,000
Speaker 1: Is he enrolling at Florida? Is he gonna challenge Graham Mertz? No,

1328
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:17,520
Speaker 1: he also happened to flip to ole Miss Lane. Kiffin

1329
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:21,080
Speaker 1: puts out the Tom Petty tweets Tom Petty Won't Back

1330
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 1: Down as a very popular song to play in the

1331
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:26,720
Speaker 1: swamp during Florida games. There's always a method behind Lane

1332
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 1: Kiffin's madness anyway. Apparently Austin Simmons dad he he thought

1333
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 1: Florida likes DJ Lagway, he's the quarterback in this class

1334
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 1: for them, and he thought the schedule was gonna be

1335
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 1: a little.

1336
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 2: Bit too tough. So I mean that's that. I don't

1337
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:44,080
Speaker 2: have much of a commentary.

1338
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 1: If you think the schedule is gonna be too tough,

1339
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 1: go to another conference.

1340
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 2: Oh oh no, oh, Miss is also in the SEC. Okay, well, nevermind,

1341
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 2: whatever you do.

1342
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 1: You your constitutional right to reclassify and go commit somewhere else. Anyway,

1343
01:06:57,320 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 1: So that was just week one, or that was just

1344
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:05,200
Speaker 1: like hour one of most people's experience on Saturday. So

1345
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 1: you wake up on Saturday, the kids reclassified on you.

1346
01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:11,240
Speaker 1: He flips to Ole Miss Lane Kiffin's tweeting out the

1347
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:18,560
Speaker 1: Tom Petty lyrics, and then comes twelve seventeen pm. Amir Jackson,

1348
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 1: four star athlete boom commits to Florida. Emit the chaos.

1349
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:27,480
Speaker 1: Everybody's panicking down there, and Amir Jackson says, hold on,

1350
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 1: I'm coming on board. Seven eighteen pm. Amaris Williams, four

1351
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:37,400
Speaker 1: star defensive lineman, He's on board. Seven thirty pm. NASA Johnson,

1352
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 1: four star defensive lineman. He's on board. Nine to forty

1353
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:47,120
Speaker 1: three pm Aaron Chiles, four star linebacker. He's on board,

1354
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:49,040
Speaker 1: and the swamp goes wild.

1355
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 2: Literally.

1356
01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:57,240
Speaker 1: So I had someone who shan't be named call Billy

1357
01:07:57,320 --> 01:08:02,200
Speaker 1: Napier broke down Billy and blue chip Billy. I kid

1358
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:06,200
Speaker 1: you not within the span of about twelve hours on

1359
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 1: the same day in the month of June. How does

1360
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:13,560
Speaker 1: this happen? Florida, by the way, now has the eighth

1361
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:16,599
Speaker 1: ranked class in the twenty four to seven Sports Team

1362
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:20,120
Speaker 1: rankings for the twenty twenty four cycle. That average player

1363
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 1: rating is above a ninety three. They're doing really well.

1364
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 1: Remember the old mema adage react at the speed of honey,

1365
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:32,880
Speaker 1: not the speed of water. A lot of you need

1366
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 1: memo when it comes to Billy Napier because a lot

1367
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 1: of your opinions are changing with the speed of water,

1368
01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:41,639
Speaker 1: and you need to really investigate how fast honey moves.

1369
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 1: Honey moves just not very fast. If your opinion on

1370
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:49,400
Speaker 1: any head coach is changing half a dozen times between

1371
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:52,519
Speaker 1: the months of January and June, they're not doing it wrong.

1372
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:56,680
Speaker 1: You're doing it wrong. My approach on Billy Napier has

1373
01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 1: been as follows, like to what he did at Louisiana,

1374
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:01,280
Speaker 1: gets hired at Florida.

1375
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 2: Feel fairly good about the.

1376
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:05,719
Speaker 1: Hire, but there's always the unknown of how will someone

1377
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:08,840
Speaker 1: transition from that level to this level? Year one was

1378
01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 1: pretty bad, and then you had the whole Jade and

1379
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 1: Rashata thing at quarterback and the nil Fiso and everyone's

1380
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:18,920
Speaker 1: learning on the fly, including Billy Napier. I talked to

1381
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 1: people inside the program. No one's more methodical in their

1382
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 1: approach there than he is. That's his mo. A lot

1383
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 1: of people inside the industry know that. But if you're

1384
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:31,160
Speaker 1: not providing immediate results, everyone just sells you down the river.

1385
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 1: Not everyone, but a lot of people. My approach has been,

1386
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:36,360
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna sit back and wait. Did the same

1387
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:38,840
Speaker 1: thing with Mike Norvel. Look how that turned out, doing

1388
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:41,960
Speaker 1: the same thing with Crystoball, Look how that probably will

1389
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,960
Speaker 1: turn out, doing the same thing with Napier. And so

1390
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 1: I looked at this past weekend and it didn't change

1391
01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:50,960
Speaker 1: my mind about anything. That was what a lot of

1392
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:53,280
Speaker 1: you were asking me. Have you changed your mind on

1393
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:56,679
Speaker 1: Billiy Napier. I don't need to. I was never really

1394
01:09:56,840 --> 01:10:00,599
Speaker 1: down on him. I'm also not fantastically up on him.

1395
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:03,639
Speaker 1: I certainly have a much bigger smile on my face

1396
01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:08,240
Speaker 1: if I'm a Florida fan after this past weekend. But ultimately,

1397
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 1: we got to get done on the field, and ultimately,

1398
01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:15,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's like someone asked the other day

1399
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:17,880
Speaker 1: in the what if section of the show. They said,

1400
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:22,639
Speaker 1: what if Florida underachieves again this year and Miami wins

1401
01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 1: nine games and Florida State wins the ACC Well, we

1402
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 1: don't want to entertain that if we're a Florida fan,

1403
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 1: but we have to entertain if we're not one, that.

1404
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 2: It could happen.

1405
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:33,960
Speaker 1: So all this stuff is still on the table, is

1406
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:38,160
Speaker 1: my point. I am the same way today about Napier

1407
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:42,679
Speaker 1: as I was Thursday afternoon. I think he's the right hire.

1408
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 1: I have a lot of faith in his ability as

1409
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:48,400
Speaker 1: a coach. I think they're navigating some tough waters right now,

1410
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 1: and if you give him time, I think he'll get

1411
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 1: it right. And then Saturday happened and a lot of

1412
01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:57,360
Speaker 1: other people apparently changed their mind to the positive, and

1413
01:10:57,400 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 1: I was just like, no, it's the way you should

1414
01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:02,479
Speaker 1: have felt all long, because if you don't feel that way,

1415
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:04,639
Speaker 1: right now. You should have just never felt that way.

1416
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:07,200
Speaker 1: If you doubted him from the beginning, I'm fine with that.

1417
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 1: It's the people who believed in him when he was

1418
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 1: hired and have punted on him.

1419
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:13,120
Speaker 2: That's what I.

1420
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:15,599
Speaker 1: Don't get, because you haven't seen enough, you haven't had

1421
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:19,479
Speaker 1: enough time. Last time I was in the state of Florida,

1422
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 1: we did a live show from Miami, and Good Greek

1423
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:25,160
Speaker 1: Moving helped us do everything that we needed to do,

1424
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:29,040
Speaker 1: and I have continued because I gave them my word.

1425
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: I would to remind you that Good Greek Moving if

1426
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 1: you need to relocate, which apparently someone in the Washington,

1427
01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 1: DC area did in our audience this weekend, Good Greek

1428
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 1: Moving has you covered a total relocation service. Look at

1429
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 1: that truck. A truck's awesome and the truck that they

1430
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:48,160
Speaker 1: moved us in is awesome too. I don't think a

1431
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: lot of you understand the chore of going from Fort Lauderdale,

1432
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:55,880
Speaker 1: Florida to Coral Gables, Florida, in mid afternoon traffic on

1433
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:56,760
Speaker 1: I ninety five.

1434
01:11:57,920 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 2: It is a disaster.

1435
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 1: It takes about an hour an hour half and it's

1436
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 1: thirty miles. I drove it the other day. I should

1437
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:07,639
Speaker 1: know Luckily I had good company in the car with me.

1438
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:10,759
Speaker 2: Well, good Greek moving. They don't care about traffic.

1439
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 1: In fact, they are specifically here so you don't have

1440
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:17,599
Speaker 1: to care about it. They'll relocate you, They ensure the move.

1441
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:21,360
Speaker 1: It is a total relocation effort, top to bottom. They've

1442
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 1: got you covered.

1443
01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:25,439
Speaker 2: Trust. Trust.

1444
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:27,680
Speaker 1: That is what they're built on, and that is what

1445
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:30,960
Speaker 1: I have for them because we have used them and

1446
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:31,599
Speaker 1: will again.

1447
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 2: So thank you to them.

1448
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:36,280
Speaker 1: You can tell I'm pretty grateful because there was a

1449
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:38,320
Speaker 1: lot of concern down there that that show was not going.

1450
01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:39,679
Speaker 2: To go off without a hitch.

1451
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:43,920
Speaker 1: Okay, we have been spotlighting teams and we need to

1452
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:47,400
Speaker 1: spotlight Notre Dame tonight to close the show. How many

1453
01:12:47,479 --> 01:12:50,240
Speaker 1: questions do we have? Who's the breakout player this year?

1454
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:53,400
Speaker 1: Where are the landmines on the schedule, what's the best

1455
01:12:53,439 --> 01:12:56,439
Speaker 1: position group? What do you need to know about Notre Dame. Well,

1456
01:12:56,439 --> 01:13:00,160
Speaker 1: here's my first question. This whole offensive coordinator promotion of

1457
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:03,760
Speaker 1: Drod Parker, this whole acquisition of Sam Hartman out of

1458
01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:07,439
Speaker 1: the portal at quarterback isn't gonna work? Is the biggest question,

1459
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:11,599
Speaker 1: Not just one question. That's the biggest question because producer

1460
01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:14,519
Speaker 1: Jesse and I were combing through some numbers today. You know,

1461
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:17,559
Speaker 1: if this pans out, Sam Hartman, on paper, is the

1462
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:20,759
Speaker 1: best statistical player they will have had at quarterback since

1463
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:25,600
Speaker 1: dare we say Brady Quinn? I have to say his

1464
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:29,559
Speaker 1: name softly or else he'll hear us could happen. It

1465
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 1: could also be that he didn't have many weapons to

1466
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:32,919
Speaker 1: throw the ball.

1467
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 2: To this year.

1468
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:37,360
Speaker 1: That's a lazy take, according to Notre Dame fans, and

1469
01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:39,720
Speaker 1: I know what you would say in response, hold on,

1470
01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:44,439
Speaker 1: I'll get to it. Last year we watched Josh Gadis

1471
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:48,519
Speaker 1: go to Miami and they failed offensively. Even with Tyler

1472
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:51,280
Speaker 1: Van Dyke there, they failed offensively. And I always have

1473
01:13:51,360 --> 01:13:52,720
Speaker 1: that fear in the back of my mind when we

1474
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:56,080
Speaker 1: have a new offensive coordinator. Even if there's a good quarterback,

1475
01:13:56,120 --> 01:14:00,000
Speaker 1: somehow it just doesn't mesh. So that's question number one.

1476
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:01,960
Speaker 1: It's not that I doubt, it's that I have a

1477
01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:06,439
Speaker 1: question about it. Question number two, where are the offensive weapons?

1478
01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:07,400
Speaker 1: Do they have enough?

1479
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:07,679
Speaker 2: Now?

1480
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 1: Some people would lead you to believe that they don't

1481
01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:14,479
Speaker 1: have any potential candidates, and I do not believe that.

1482
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:19,360
Speaker 1: I just believe they were completely underutilized last year. So

1483
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:22,840
Speaker 1: Jaden Thomas, for example, is a receiver that had three

1484
01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:25,760
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty one receiving yards last year. He's way

1485
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:28,679
Speaker 1: better than that. Deon Colsey had one hundred and ninety

1486
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:33,000
Speaker 1: two receiving yards last year. We've got Tobias Mayweather or

1487
01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:36,519
Speaker 1: Meriweather all the way down there, one touchdown, forty one

1488
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 1: receiving yards. Those dudes in the right offense are all

1489
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:43,800
Speaker 1: one thousand yard plus receivers. They just weren't in the

1490
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 1: right offense last year. So let's see if they're in

1491
01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:50,559
Speaker 1: the right offense this year. And I could tell you

1492
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:53,960
Speaker 1: stats like four of their top five pass catchers move on,

1493
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:57,280
Speaker 1: including Michael Mayer, the big time tight m If you've

1494
01:14:57,320 --> 01:15:00,280
Speaker 1: got the right oc I, if therefore you've got the

1495
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:03,479
Speaker 1: right quarterback, it will be fine. They will have much

1496
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:05,599
Speaker 1: better numbers than I'm showing you on the screen right now.

1497
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:07,759
Speaker 1: It's a big f That's why it's a question question

1498
01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:11,680
Speaker 1: number three. Is this a rebuild defensively or is this

1499
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:16,400
Speaker 1: a reload defensively. They've got a solid incoming freshman class

1500
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:19,880
Speaker 1: and they'll need it because they've got pieces to replace here,

1501
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:23,160
Speaker 1: and they will. I don't think it's a bold statement

1502
01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:26,599
Speaker 1: to say they will heavily depend on true freshmen or

1503
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:29,280
Speaker 1: at the very least a bunch of underclassmen on all

1504
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:31,519
Speaker 1: three levels of their defense, not just starters, but in

1505
01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 1: the two deep. This is why they focused their recruiting

1506
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:37,800
Speaker 1: effort on that side of the ball. They got really

1507
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:39,559
Speaker 1: good players. It's just that a lot of them are

1508
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:41,280
Speaker 1: going to have to play. So those are the three

1509
01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:42,800
Speaker 1: questions I have for Notre Dame.

1510
01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:45,519
Speaker 2: The best position group here.

1511
01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:48,800
Speaker 1: Their offensive tackles are good, man, both of these guys

1512
01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:49,759
Speaker 1: are NFL guys.

1513
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:51,439
Speaker 2: They've got depth.

1514
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:54,520
Speaker 1: I could go too deep on both of these positions,

1515
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:57,799
Speaker 1: and they're set this year. Joe alt at left tackle,

1516
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:01,280
Speaker 1: first team All American last year eight three point fifteen.

1517
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:06,080
Speaker 1: Their right tackle, Blake Fisher six six three ten. Both

1518
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:08,880
Speaker 1: of them started every game last year. Both of them

1519
01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:13,479
Speaker 1: have quality backups behind them that probably would start at

1520
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 1: many Power five outposts. So offensive tackles great, their centers good.

1521
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:18,080
Speaker 1: Their offensive line.

1522
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:20,040
Speaker 2: Should be really good this year. I mean, I guess

1523
01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:22,240
Speaker 2: you could ask questions about the guard position, but these.

1524
01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 1: Are very very first world questions. Notre Dame's okay on

1525
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:28,120
Speaker 1: the offensive line. The breakout player, I'm gonna go right

1526
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:30,639
Speaker 1: back to that receiver room. If we had to circle

1527
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:36,080
Speaker 1: a name here, Tobias Mayweather, the receiver with one touchdown,

1528
01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:40,400
Speaker 1: the receiver with forty one total receiving yards. Former four star,

1529
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:43,719
Speaker 1: he was the number eighty overall player in the twenty

1530
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:47,080
Speaker 1: twenty two cycle. He played in seven games last year,

1531
01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:53,120
Speaker 1: very forgettable statistics. This spring, they were in love with him.

1532
01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:55,280
Speaker 1: A lot of folks around the program are in love

1533
01:16:55,280 --> 01:16:57,840
Speaker 1: with him. He's big, he's six four, two oh five.

1534
01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:03,040
Speaker 1: He is getting Sam Hartman at the perfect time, and

1535
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:06,840
Speaker 1: Sam Hartman is getting him at the perfect time. So

1536
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:10,439
Speaker 1: it could be any of those receivers. I'm just picking

1537
01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:12,559
Speaker 1: out him because we kind of like him. We kind

1538
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:15,400
Speaker 1: of lean towards him a little bit. Their schedule is

1539
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:17,519
Speaker 1: once again going to dispel one of the great myths

1540
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:20,720
Speaker 1: in college football, and that myth is Notre Dame never

1541
01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:24,160
Speaker 1: plays anyone. It's the dumbest thing people say. They aren't

1542
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:27,320
Speaker 1: dumb for saying it. It's just smart people saying dumb things.

1543
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:30,680
Speaker 1: Notre Dame always plays a tough schedule. They always do.

1544
01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:33,920
Speaker 1: It's always incorrect when people say they don't, Well.

1545
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 2: Josh, they play Navy.

1546
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:38,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, they play Ohio State at Duke at Louisville and

1547
01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:40,080
Speaker 1: USC back to back to back to back. Two oh

1548
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:42,760
Speaker 1: they got a trip to clemsonto November as well.

1549
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:44,160
Speaker 2: They play good.

1550
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 1: Teams every year, it's just that they're not in a conference,

1551
01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:49,080
Speaker 1: so they don't play a bunch of teams from the

1552
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:52,200
Speaker 1: SEC or the Big Ten. That four game stretch is

1553
01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:55,040
Speaker 1: going to determine their season. By the way, Ohio State

1554
01:17:56,080 --> 01:17:58,760
Speaker 1: is nine to twenty three, so that's September twenty third.

1555
01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:01,000
Speaker 1: A lot of you probably I wonder why you mention

1556
01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:03,840
Speaker 1: in Duke. Well, Duke's a good team with a really

1557
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:06,559
Speaker 1: good quarterback. And they go on the road there the

1558
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 1: week after they play Ohio State and Louisville didoh new

1559
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:13,920
Speaker 1: coaching staff there. That's the second leg of a back

1560
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:16,800
Speaker 1: to back road stretch. And that trip to Louisville is

1561
01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:19,599
Speaker 1: also in the look ahead position because Notre Dame has

1562
01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:24,240
Speaker 1: USC coming to town the next week. You go two

1563
01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:26,719
Speaker 1: and two against that and probably play really good football,

1564
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:29,639
Speaker 1: or I guess I should invert that statement. You could

1565
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:31,760
Speaker 1: play really good football and go two and two in

1566
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:34,960
Speaker 1: that stretch. You play questionable football. You go one in

1567
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:37,559
Speaker 1: three and all of a sudden, yep, there goes our

1568
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:40,280
Speaker 1: season again, they're over under win totals eight and a half,

1569
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:41,960
Speaker 1: and I think in large part it is due to

1570
01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:45,759
Speaker 1: that stretch as well as a November date at Clemson.

1571
01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:50,400
Speaker 1: Notre Dame very unpredictable team this year. There are always

1572
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:52,080
Speaker 1: a wild card when you're trying to make your little

1573
01:18:52,080 --> 01:18:54,840
Speaker 1: playoff picture because you forget about them because they're not

1574
01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:55,519
Speaker 1: in a conference.

1575
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 2: But they will be a factor there.

1576
01:18:57,320 --> 01:19:00,280
Speaker 1: And if they're not in it themselves, remember who I

1577
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:03,040
Speaker 1: told you they play. They play Ohio State right in

1578
01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:05,360
Speaker 1: the thick of it. They play usc right in the

1579
01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:05,760
Speaker 1: thick of it.

1580
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:07,880
Speaker 2: They go to Clemson in November, right in the thick

1581
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:09,560
Speaker 2: of it. Notre Dame is a team you got to
