1
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: There's a smile on my face. If you're watching, you

2
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 1: can see it. If you're listening, oh you probably hear it,

3
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: you can feel it. Look, any given year, we have

4
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: to go from January all the way through late August

5
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: or early September before we get any football games. That's

6
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: just the way that we have to live. Even though

7
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: we don't do the offseason. We have seasons with games

8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: and seasons where we talk about the games to come.

9
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: But then you throw in an election year and you've

10
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: got all this other mess around, and never are you

11
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: more starved for an escape from it than these moments.

12
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: And so I look at our show and I say,

13
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: Colin Jesse, bar the doors, get Bradley to stand guard outside.

14
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,639
Speaker 1: Don't let any of it in here. It's just college football.

15
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: That's it. That's all it'll ever be. And let's you

16
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: know what. We can't toast, but we can payper pop

17
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: to that. We're jam packed hi atop a very toasty

18
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: downtown Nashville, Tennessee, about one hundred and forty eight degrees

19
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: today celsius fahrenheit. I don't know what's the difference. At

20
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: that point, we got a jam packed show. Though August

21
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: is going to be jam packed. I'll talk to you

22
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: about that in a second Fall Camp questions. You know,

23
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: it's Whispers and Intel season and they're still in the

24
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: acclamation period right now unless you're like Florida State or

25
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech. But everywhere around the country, I would say

26
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: by Sunday, actually, by the Sunday show, we'll have real,

27
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: like hardcore, honest to god whispers and Intel scoop nuggets,

28
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it from Fall camps, and

29
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: that's really where the rubber meets through up. I got

30
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: some unpredictable teams that I want to talk to you

31
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: about tonight. We're going full prediction mode on two teams.

32
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: Ohio State and Florida State showed you the JP pole

33
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: last week, but we're going to go specific teams. I'm

34
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: going to do several of these per episode. You guys know,

35
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: if you've been around for a while, you know what

36
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: our normal protocol in August is. And if you're new

37
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: around here, thank you for joining us, Thank you for

38
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: enrolling at Pate State. Our standards are low enough where

39
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: everyone could get in and you'll learn as the month

40
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: goes on that August is the time to check back in.

41
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: If you haven't already got bold predictions on the show,

42
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: got what ifs on the show. They're watching us in Omaha, Nebraska, Charlotte,

43
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: North Carolina, San Diego, California, and Hoboken, New Jersey. Listen

44
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: to me, I say that as nicely as I can.

45
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: August around here is gonna be wild. We got a

46
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 1: tour name. I have settled on a tour name. It's

47
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: going to drop in August. Obviously, we have got gas

48
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: station recruiting wars. I can say nothing more than there

49
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: will be action coming on that very soon. That's part

50
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: of the smile. We have got the Pate State Store

51
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: reopening in August. Yes, a lot of you asked about

52
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: that that's coming. I have got probably something bigger than

53
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: all of those things that's gonna happen to all of

54
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: us in August. Ramanutal Express comes back in August, Friday

55
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: Night Lines comes back in August. What in August? And

56
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: then we get the actual football season. So check in,

57
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: strap in, bring ten of your friends if they're not

58
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: here already. If they're complaining about the lack of quality

59
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: college football content out there, well, this is where it is.

60
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: Not exclusively It's a lot of our friends getting new

61
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: deals at different companies today. Congrats to all of you guys.

62
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: I didn't want to name you because I don't have

63
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: an exhaustive list in front of me, but congrats. But

64
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: you know, we take pride in what we do here too,

65
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: So just bring them along, just let them sample the show,

66
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: all right, fall Camp. So here's the way it's going

67
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: to work. Cane Daniel Canell a text message. Should know

68
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: full well. I'm on air right now in August. Every

69
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: show from this point forward, I will lead the show

70
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: with the stuff that we're hearing on the ground from

71
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: fall camps, and some of them I'll be at, and

72
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: at that point I can't tell you a whole lot,

73
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: but others we get intel from. It's probably actually a

74
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: better idea to have us at fall Camp because I'll

75
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: keep my mouth shut more if I'm there than if

76
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: i'm not there. But this portion of the show, I'll

77
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: lead it with as good as scoop as I can

78
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: get for you, whispers intel, stuff that matters if you

79
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: bet on it, stuff that matters if you don't bet

80
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: on it, and you just love college football. Tonight, what

81
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do is I'm gonna zip through, and I'm

82
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: gonna tell you a lot of what I have my

83
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: eye on. I know you've picked up your preview magazines

84
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: and you've gotten your digital previews and stuff like that,

85
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: and you got your own ideas. Here's where my head's

86
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: at on several teams. Here, I got ten of them.

87
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go pretty quick through these. So Clemson, what

88
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: I'm watching for them this fall camp is I'm watching

89
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: offensive synergy. Yeah, K Club Nick coming back another year

90
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: in Garrett Riley's system. Everybody's focused on that. I am too.

91
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: They need to take care of the ball better. They

92
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: killed themselves with turnovers last year. They were out of

93
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: this thing for all intents and purposes by like week

94
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: three or week four. Last year, they got to show

95
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: up in big games. K Clubnick has to show up

96
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: in big games. I think they've got a better wide

97
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: receiver unit. Some of that young wide receiver talent is

98
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 1: better than anything they've had there in a while. That

99
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: offensive line needs a jump. It was average last year

100
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: needs to jump. Clemson could either be a team that

101
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: regresses again or they could literally win the ACC And

102
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: a lot of it will come down to offensive synergy.

103
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: Next up. How quick was that? Jesse was that under

104
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: a minute? I challenged myself to do all these under

105
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: a minute. We'll see if I can. LSU, is that

106
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: defense going to improve? Now we could go all three levels,

107
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: but specifically, you look at Blake Baker new defensive coordinator,

108
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: You look at Kevin Peeple's Bo Davis. I added so

109
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: many quality defensive coaches. Will the level of play increase,

110
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: like the level of coaching staff increase. Defensively, they're very

111
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: green in the secondary now. I know, very early on

112
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: we're going to get some good reports from down there.

113
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm worried about depth. I'm worried about longevity, and I'm

114
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: worried about consistency because you can play good eight times

115
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: out of ten and still get beat by two touchdowns

116
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: plus the two blown plays went eighty yards to the house.

117
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: Competitive depth is another thing that they've got to develop,

118
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: defensive front, secondary, LSU man, if that over underwent totals

119
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: nine and a half, that means odds makers are confident

120
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: you've got it. We'll see if they've got it. Next up.

121
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: When we were at Big ten Media Days a couple

122
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, we had Kurt Ferents on the show.

123
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: Well we interviewed him. We didn't have him on the show,

124
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: but we interviewed him. And so the thing I'm watching

125
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: with Iowa, of course is the offense. But how much

126
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: underground hype will we feel start to building because if

127
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: there's something really happening, you normally feel it start to

128
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: bubble up and fall camp. Tim Lester's the new offensive

129
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: coordinator there. Tim Lester has an offensive line that needs

130
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: to be better. That's kind of one of the secret

131
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: overlooked components of i was underachievement offensively is their offensive

132
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: line hasn't even played to the level it should be. Now,

133
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: that's one thing that they should have the market cornered

134
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: on up there is quality O line play. They haven't

135
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: had that. They've got one hundred and sixty six starts

136
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: returning on that unit, and so whoever plays quarterback there,

137
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: I got a new OC. If that offensive line is

138
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: up to the task, well then we can start to

139
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: build a foundation top sixty unit. Can they be that good?

140
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: Because if they are, they're a dark horse playoff contender,

141
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: because else where I was a really solid football program

142
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: down at Miami. Where would you go here? I saw

143
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: earlier today I saw that cam Ward got preseason All

144
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: ACC Player of the Year. Colin and Jesse, did you

145
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: see that? How about that? And what I loved about

146
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: cam Ward getting preseason All ACC Player of the Year

147
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: is everyone was really mature about it. Everyone handled it great.

148
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: A guy who's never taken a snap in the conference,

149
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: who transferred from across the country with a ton of

150
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: nil hype, He's the preseason player of the year. From

151
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: Tallahassee to Clemson and everywhere in between. People just they

152
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: tipped their cap, they said congrats cam At least that's

153
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: what I saw. Far be it for those fan bases

154
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: to handle it any differently. I'd be irate if I

155
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: were you guys. But nevertheless, that's not what I want

156
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: to talk about with Miami. At Miami, there's going to

157
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: be a lot of hype around cam Ward should be

158
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: big time quarterback. I think you'll pan out. I think

159
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: cam Moore will be a dynamic playmaker for them. How

160
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: many points is he going to need to put up

161
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: per game? Tell us? The secondary is what I'm watching

162
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: very closely in Miami's fall camp. They're unproven. Its safety

163
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: had a good duo there, they're both gone and that

164
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: sophomore class made some noise last year. A sophomore class

165
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: this year, second year class this year. They will be

166
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: woven all throughout the too deep. A lot of them

167
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: will start, and then that true freshman class coming in

168
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: along with those transfers that'll be more and more and

169
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 1: more as the weeks go on. The critical and majority

170
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: makeup of Miami's roster, it'll be Mario's guys. That's all

171
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: you could want. If you believe in your process as

172
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: a head coach. You're bringing your guys, you infuse them

173
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: into the roster. Now you got to go win with them.

174
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: Next up Oklahoma. It's very clear that offensive line is

175
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: the question at Oklahoma. It's the focus. As we go

176
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: into fall camp. They had nine offensive line departures. They

177
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: had seven those guys who had started one hundred and

178
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: ninety six games started on the offensive line. Gone okay.

179
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that it has to be a weakness.

180
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: It does mean it's a glaring question that could become

181
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: a weakness. Hicks and its center, I think is okay.

182
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: Questions at both guard positions. There's this quiet confidence amongst

183
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: the Oklahoma people about the tackles, but there's not proven

184
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: production there, and so if they can be better than expected,

185
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: then that unlocks all the potential of Jackson Arnold at quarterback.

186
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: That of course unlocks the potential and its sizeable potential

187
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: of that wide receiver corps you're bringing. Dion Burk's guy

188
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: could just explode, could be one of the all SEC

189
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: caliber players that people who don't follow the portal never

190
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: saw coming. Got to have that offensive line in order.

191
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: The next team that I'm focused on is one that

192
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: we were close with last week at Big Ten Media

193
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: Days Michigan. Do we get consistency? Do we get dependability

194
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: in the passing game? Now, that's before I even ask

195
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: the other big question, and that's who's going to be

196
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: the starting cou quarterback there? There's been an assumption written

197
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: in pencil that it's going to be Alex Orgy. I

198
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: truly believe they've got a competition up there, Davis Warren,

199
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: Jack Tuttle, they've got a shot, But I think it's

200
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: alex Orgies to lose. And that's how I look at it.

201
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: That's not feedback from the program. Because he's more dynamic

202
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: than they are. There are tools he has that those

203
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: other guys don't have. But it doesn't matter if there's

204
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 1: not good decision making and there's not consistency. Michigan's not

205
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: a program that needs forty per game to win. They're

206
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: still going to play the same kind of defense they've

207
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: been playing there for a while. Decision making being a

208
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: plus in that compartment, that's what will win you that

209
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: quarterback position. Texas had a lot of turn and yet

210
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: Texas is right up there. You saw the JP pull

211
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: very high on Texas. You saw yours truly here very

212
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: high on Texas. Texas needs to find ways to be

213
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: top twenty against the run. That just need to be

214
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: a top twenty run stopping unit. They lost big time

215
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: playmaker on the interior or the defensive line. The game

216
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: control here is what separates teams that can win it

217
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: versus teams that can just compete for it. There is

218
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: no gap between you and anyone else. If you can't

219
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: control the game up front, you may be able to

220
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: win every game. But it's back and forth, nip and

221
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: tuck coin flip. They were one hundred and sixteenth last

222
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: year in pass yards allowed, and so the secondary is

223
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: another focus that you could have. But I'm worried about

224
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: stopping the run here. Then that goes to the other

225
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Then that goes to how much

226
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: is asked of Quinnyewers? How much is asked of this

227
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: retooled wide receiver corps. A lot of promise, but lack

228
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: of proven production at Texas. A lot has to come together,

229
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: A lot has to come together. Now. Luckily, you're not

230
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, bubblegum and paper clip your way

231
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: to an SEC contending season because you got talent. There

232
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: a lot of talent. It's just there's a lot of unproven.

233
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: This is college football. That's the way it has to happen.

234
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: That has to become proven. There probably a little bit more,

235
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: I think than most of the country would have. Most

236
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: of the country. I'm talking about the more not the

237
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: casual minded crowd, but just the crowd that doesn't follow

238
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: it hardcore day to day. They probably look at the odds.

239
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: They probably saw Texas go to the playoff last year,

240
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: and they probably think to themselves, Okay, like they're a

241
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: bona fide contender. A whole lot of guys return this year,

242
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: well some of them do. They're big time players that

243
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: aren't there anymore worries, not there anymore those two on

244
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: the interior of the D line, Ady Mitchell, those guys

245
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: aren't there anymore. So that's why you put a premium

246
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: in recruiting, and that's why you put a premium in development.

247
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: Next up, let's go to rest in Peace, to the

248
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: PAC twelve. Let's go to the Big twelve. Is Utah

249
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: really Utah on the line of scrimmage, because that's how

250
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: you know Utah Utah. If I tell you one thing,

251
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: give me one thing about Utah, you just ball both

252
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: of your fists and you punch them together. That's Utah football. Well,

253
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: they're replacing their top two offensive linemen and they were

254
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: average at preventing tackles for loss last year. So the

255
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: Big twelve is a little grittier conference up front than

256
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: the PAC twelve. Was top twenty defense in sacks last

257
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: year and top five and run dee, but they lost

258
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: their top pass rusher. So everyone assumes, and kind of

259
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: me as well, that Utah is just a certain caliber

260
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: upfront because that's their hallmark. Are they that caliber team upfront?

261
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: Schedules very favorable for them? Are they the kind of

262
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: team that can take over games out there at Alabama?

263
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: Obviously there's the Nick Saban question. But I mean, we

264
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: talked about that for a while, so we can get

265
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: a little more granular than that. Is Alabama gonna be

266
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: good enough in the secondary this year? Kind of like Texas.

267
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: There's a lot of talented names but are unproven and

268
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to step in and play big time

269
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: for them. There's a screen right now you're looking at

270
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: with all the losses they had in the secondary, and

271
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: so that's one thing. Can Walmeck takes over as the

272
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, their former head coach of South Alabama over

273
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: on the other side, Kobe Prentiss, newcomers like Ryan Williams,

274
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: Kendrick Law, Jeremy Bernard. Is there a thousand yard receiver

275
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: in that room? Caitlyn de Boor's offense would lead me

276
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: to believe someone's gonna have a shot. But is there

277
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: one there? What kind of players Jalen Milroe in that system?

278
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: Is there a difference maker up front for them in

279
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: the past Rush, I don't think there's will Anderson there.

280
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: I don't know that there's a Dallas Turner. There some

281
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: really good names, though, some former five star names. Who emerges.

282
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: It's one of the fun things to watch, especially with

283
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: these teams that load up on foreign five star talent

284
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: every year and then some of that foreign five star

285
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: talent sort of disappears off the radar for a couple

286
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: of years. Kean Keeley's a perfect example. Yonz Pierre is

287
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: a perfect example. These are big time names from recruiting

288
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: classes gone by that could all of a sudden explode

289
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: this year and you're like, where did they come from? Oh?

290
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: That's right, those were five stars two or three cycles ago.

291
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: They just waited their turn well more, not to not

292
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: to be left behind on the scrap heap. Georgia, Georgia

293
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: gonna tee it up and give it a good college

294
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: try this year. What level of defensive line play do

295
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: we get from Georgia this year? Probably not elite? Will

296
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: it be good enough? Nazer Stackcows, Warren Brentson, Christian Miller

297
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: and then a bunch of guys who have promised but

298
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: again are unproven. Is that the kind of dynamic front?

299
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: Do they have the quality of depth, the versatility of depth,

300
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: and the dynamic difference makers up front for it to

301
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: be a vintage Georgia team or is it the kind

302
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: of Georgia team that could still win it all, they'll

303
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: still be favored in every game, but because they can't

304
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: take over upfront like those championship teams did, they're in

305
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: a few closer games maybe than they're comfortable with. The

306
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: tight end room I think is still elite. By the way,

307
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: Lost and Lucky Oscar delp Ben Yurasek is a guy

308
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: we were hearing about when we went up there in February,

309
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: which was before spring ball. They got him from Stanford.

310
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: No one knew about him. They wanted to keep it

311
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: that way. I think you'll know about him before too

312
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: much longer. Those are some of the things I'm watching now.

313
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: You can comment, and you can leave me in different

314
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: directions if you want to. But there are a lot

315
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: of questions, which is what makes August so beautiful. Because

316
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: everyone thinks they know, everyone gets their idea, and then

317
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you open up your practice report.

318
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: You're over on the Big Spur, or you're on Horns

319
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: twenty four to seven, or you're on one any of

320
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: the websites. I don't care where you go. Auburn undercover

321
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you see, wait, the guy

322
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: that I trusted to get ten sacks. This year is

323
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: not even running with the ones at outside linebacker. What's happening.

324
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: It's August. It's August. That's what's happening. Thank you so

325
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: much for being tuned in. I'm told, and I can't

326
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: confirm it, but I'm told the pro guys, you may

327
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: know them as the NFL, they have a preseason game tonight,

328
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: and some of you have chosen to watch. Many many

329
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: more of you have chosen to tune in, and I

330
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: appreciate no matter when you tune in, I appreciate that

331
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: you tuned in. However, because some of you are watching live,

332
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: I may just hang around for a minute or two

333
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: after the show ends, at least when I'm done with

334
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: these pieces of paper in front of me, I may

335
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: peruse the live chat. I hinted at this the other day.

336
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: We got great feedback on it. We've never done it before.

337
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: I've never just sat here and responded to the live chat.

338
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: It could be a terrible idea, could be a great idea.

339
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: But that's exactly what they told me when we hired Jesse,

340
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: and look how that's turned out. So we will probably

341
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: take a look at the live chat after the show.

342
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: Who are the most unpredictable teams in college football this

343
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: year because I think Texas A and M's one of them.

344
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: The Mike Elko impact could be the kind of impact

345
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: that for a top fifteen JP pole team puts them

346
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 1: in the playoff. Texas A and M could do that

347
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: at their best this year. Connor Wigman's all the way

348
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: back from the injury. The defensive front can control games.

349
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: The talent that you should know is there shows its face,

350
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: and then there's all of a sudden organization and accountability

351
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: injected into the program. Hey, A and M could be

352
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: one of the surprises of the season. However, they're unpredictable

353
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 1: because offensive line play. Maybe it doesn't improve. They were

354
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: ninety first in rush yards per game last year. Maybe

355
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: they don't have the quality depth that they need quite yet.

356
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: Maybe there's a learning curve. Hey, maybe some of these

357
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: guys that got away with things in the prior administration

358
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: and don't get away with in this current administration. Maybe

359
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 1: there's toxicity. That's not anything I'm hearing. I'm just saying

360
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: we've seen it happen before, and in a year of transition,

361
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: you could have that kind of variability or volatility. Even so,

362
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: I think Texas A and M. You don't necessarily find

363
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: out anything. Oh wait, you do because they play Notre

364
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: Dame in Week one. Huge game. One of the biggest

365
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: games of the week in Week one is Notre Dame

366
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: at Texas A and M. Hat tip both of you

367
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: for scheduling the game. Hat tip Notre Dame, especially for

368
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: being willing to go on the road, which they've been

369
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: willing to do for a long time. But I want

370
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: to acknowledge it year over year when they continue to

371
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: do it, because my inbox is going to fill up

372
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: with people saying Notre Dame doesn't play anybody Nebraska. Nebraska

373
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: is a very unpredictable team. Nebraska, on one hand, could

374
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: take advantage of a favorable schedule. It's been a while

375
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: since they were above five hundred. Colin is showing you

376
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: right now a slider graphic there three wins, three wins,

377
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: four wins, five wins. I guess you could say they've

378
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: trended up over the past three years. If one of

379
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: you six sick people want to call three to four

380
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: to five trending up. But this year feels different. This year,

381
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 1: I've got Dylan Ryola, five star quarterback coming in I've

382
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: got a rock solid defense, I got a rock solid

383
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: defensive coaching staff. My over underwent total. Hey, it's seven

384
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,239
Speaker 1: and a half, so we could hit the under and

385
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: still go five hundred. But they also if they get

386
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 1: good quarterback play and if they do take care of

387
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: business in these games, that frankly, they'll be favored in.

388
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: They could be a dark horse playoff contender. I don't

389
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: think it's totally responsible to predict that, but on the

390
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 1: high end, you know, if you were to go best

391
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: case scenario, there are scenarios out there out of a

392
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: random one hundred scenario sampling where Nebraska is a dark

393
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,719
Speaker 1: horse playoff contender. I mean, they're not going to probably

394
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: go to Ohio State and win. Outside of that, they

395
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: can win every game on the schedule here. However, they

396
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: could still be really bad in one possession games too,

397
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: a true freshman coming in. It's a very dicey proposition

398
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: to be leaning on that. So maybe Dylan Royola just

399
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: plays like a normal human and he has his ups

400
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: and downs, and there's inconsistency. Decision making week to week

401
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: is very very erratic, and you win some that you

402
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: should win and maybe one you shouldn't. Win, and you

403
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: drop a couple, you should win. The offense is inconsistent,

404
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: and it was bad last year, and there they are

405
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: six and six, even seven and five, given the expectation

406
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: bubble out there, I think would be disappointing. So that

407
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 1: is a very unpredictable team. I think Kansas is an

408
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: unpredictable team. That's the first hickup of the show because

409
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: Jalen Daniel's health is in question now. If he shines,

410
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: then Kansas is a Big twelve championship contender and they

411
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: may be able to withstand lower returning production rate. This

412
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: time last year, we were talking to you and I

413
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: was sitting here and I probably said a million times

414
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 1: Kansas is number one in the country in returning production.

415
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: It wasn't a lie. They were. They're not this year.

416
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: So if they don't have that quarterback play, it could

417
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: be a longer year than anticipated. If they do, then

418
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: that's the kind of guy Jalen Daniels helped thee is

419
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: the kind of guy who elevates names of guys that

420
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: you don't know yet. However, maybe Kansas can't just blindly reload.

421
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: Maybe this is not a program like a Georgia or

422
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: like Florida State, where even though you don't know the names,

423
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: we just blindly count on them. Maybe the line of

424
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: scrimmage does suffer. Maybe they feel the loss of Andy Kolniki,

425
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: who is the offensive coordinator who's now at Penn State.

426
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: Can't just overlook that stuff for a major program, You

427
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: especially can't overlook that sort of thing for Kansas. That's

428
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: no knock on them. It's just historically Kansas football sitting

429
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: here at over under eight and a half wins with

430
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: those kinds of questions is probably the biggest testament to

431
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: the quality of a head coach that you've ever seen.

432
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: Lance Leipold stud stud Kansas with questions and an over

433
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: underwent total of eight and a half's amazing. Next up, SMU, Yes,

434
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: the fighting Rets, which sounds better than the fighting lash. Lease, no,

435
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: it doesn't. The fighting lash LEAs Preston Stone may not

436
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: miss a beat. That's their quarterback out there. They win

437
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 1: eleven and three last year, and so they got him

438
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: and maybe they don't miss a beat. They're joining the

439
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: ACC this year for those unfamiliar, those of you who

440
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: didn't follow all the latest headlines in conference realignment. So

441
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: maybe the offense is still strong. They were sixth in

442
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: points per game last year, so maybe that's just the

443
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: way it is again, and the portal editions are all

444
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: pluses across the board. If that pans out, then they

445
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: can make some noise. They got Florida State coming in

446
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: there in week five should be fun. It's a conference game,

447
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: mind you. Florida State there in Week five and then

448
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: back to back although there's a buy in between them

449
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: back to back road games at Louisville at Stanford. You

450
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: get there's a very very roller coastery type field SMU

451
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: schedule because they've got FSU in week five. I don't

452
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: know if there's a bye week in there. There may be,

453
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: but this is their fifth game, and then you look

454
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: the rest of the way and you say, wait, where's

455
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: the next really big one. Well, at Louisville the next

456
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: week is the next biggest one because after that at Stanford,

457
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: Duke Pitt BC Virginia Cal. And I'm just saying it's

458
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: it's normally tough to ramp up from the G five

459
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: to the power whatever level. SMU's roster is a little

460
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: bit different. SMU is not gonna have the best roster

461
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: on the field when they play Florida State. There's not

462
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: gonna be an insurmountable Grand Canyon gap between the two.

463
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: They're a little different caliber roster than your typical G

464
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: five jump up project. And secondly, that's a workable schedule.

465
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,719
Speaker 1: So yeah, you could find yourself saying SMU more than

466
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: you thought you would in November this year. But there's

467
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: the downside. That's what makes them unpredictable. The downside is

468
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: the step up in competition may bite them. The step

469
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 1: up in competition, especially when you play in a major conference,

470
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: and I don't care which one it is, a major conference,

471
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: tests your depth just a little bit more each and

472
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: every week. And sometimes we'll see teams in September and

473
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: then you'll see teams again in November and some of

474
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: the same players are even on the field. But you're saying, wow,

475
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: they ran out of gas. That's correct. You got to

476
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 1: have twelve weeks worth of gas just to get to

477
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: the regular season finish line, and it's harder to do

478
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: that when you have less former four star guys running

479
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: with your twos at SMU, respectfully, if they got four

480
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: star guys, they're running with the ones. Florida State teams

481
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: like that teams like Clemson, teams like Miami, they got

482
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: some four star guys you won't even see this year

483
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: because they can afford to not play them. Sometimes at SMU,

484
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: when you're where they are in the trajectory of their program,

485
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 1: maybe they have to play those guys. Nevertheless, that's what

486
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: makes them unpredictable. Doesn't automatically guarantee anything. It just makes

487
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: them unpredictable. And the other team, South Carolina that I'm

488
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: looking at in the unpredictability meter, Lenora Sellers, could just

489
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: be that guy Leonora Sellers, their quarterback up there, who

490
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: most of you haven't heard of, six three two and

491
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: forty two pounds, borderline five star guy last cycle, well

492
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: two cycles ago. So he was there last year. He'll

493
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: start for him this year. They've they've been talking about

494
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: him since last year. Last year they still had Spencer Ratler,

495
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: and yet our guys at South Carolina kept saying, yeah,

496
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: Ratler's the guy. This year, Seller's good and he's gonna

497
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: have a year to just sort of marinate in the system.

498
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: Wait till you see him. Well, we get to see

499
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: him now, so maybe they're right about him. Maybe alongside

500
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: that they've remade those skill positions. Maybe that offensive line

501
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: isn't atrocious this year. A lot of maybe there if

502
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 1: that happens, Colin, do me a favor, throw me their

503
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: schedule right quick, because with South Carolina it's to me

504
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: at least, it's never about the biggest games by biggest games.

505
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: I mean, it's never about the game at Alabama. I

506
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: don't expect South Carolina to go beat Alabama. I don't

507
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,239
Speaker 1: expect them, although they would argue I wouldn't expect them

508
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: to go to Oklahoma and win. I don't even expect

509
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 1: them to go to Clemson and win, although certainly they

510
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: duc take my mouth shut on that proposition. I'm looking

511
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: at a game at Kentucky in week two. I'm looking

512
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: at Missouri at home November sixteenth. I'm even looking at

513
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: Old miss coming in there. They got LSU and Old

514
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: Miss at home in the first five weeks of the season.

515
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: Snatch one of those. Take care of a game against Kentucky,

516
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: win a game against Missouri, and then you don't have

517
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: to beat teams that you're a double digit underdog against.

518
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: Can they do that well? That's what makes it very

519
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,959
Speaker 1: volatile because there is a scenario off obviously, where offensive

520
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: line's still bad and sellers plays very green because he's

521
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: very new. Seven teams on that schedule are in the

522
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: top twenty preseason odds to win the national title at FanDuel,

523
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: and so maybe they're just not as good as any

524
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: of those seven and at that point or over under

525
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: win totals five and a half. There's a five and

526
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: seven here, there's an eight and four here, very unpredictable.

527
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: I know that doesn't sound like a wide gap. Well,

528
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: talk about Shane Biemer's future, talk about how he's perceived.

529
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: There is a massive gap between eight wins and five wins.

530
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: They've done both of them over there in the past

531
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: three years. There's a massive difference. Where there's not a difference.

532
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: Is me telling you what you should do this time

533
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: of year in terms of back to school and back

534
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: to sports, which is a phrase that I've workshopped with Academy,

535
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: but it's been really working because you guys have been

536
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 1: saying it back to me. Academy Sports and Outdoors makes

537
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: this show free to you. There's no paywall. I don't

538
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 1: have to ask you to subscribe to anything that costs

539
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: you money. I ask you to subscribe to the YouTube channel,

540
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: but that's free, the podcast That's free that just helps us.

541
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors. Not only are they our partner,

542
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: longtime partners, ARM and ARM, and not only do they

543
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 1: have the things you need, I would argue, they also

544
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: have a lot of things you don't even know you need.

545
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: One of my favorite pieces of feedback that I get

546
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: on this front is when one of you has never

547
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: been before, and because you watch the show or you

548
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: listen to the show, you want to be loyal to

549
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: our partners, which I appreciate more than you know. You

550
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: just you see, you've probably driven by an academy in

551
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: your town one hundred times. You finally go in, and

552
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: then you realize I was right the whole time. Not

553
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,239
Speaker 1: that I would ever mislead you on this, I was right.

554
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: I was right when I told you they got stuff

555
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: in there you never knew they had. This is not

556
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: all due respect, all due respect. This is not some

557
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: corner store circa nineteen seventies mom and pop sporting goods department.

558
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: This is Academy Sports and Outdoors. You can see these

559
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: things from space, and you've got everything in there. You

560
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: need a lot of stuff you didn't know you needed. Grilling, equipment, baseball,

561
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: bat camping equipment, basketball goal you got clothes in there,

562
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: racks and racks and racks, you got shoes in there.

563
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: You got all sorts of different things, and they've got

564
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: our back, so we appreciate them. And if you can't

565
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: get there in person, Academy dot com is your hookup.

566
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: It is that time of year where two things happen.

567
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: The first is my ankle. It's just it happens every

568
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: year around this time August. First it's the ankle. But

569
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: the other thing that happens, and probably one you look

570
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: more forward to, is we not only have done our

571
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: playoff predictions and the JP pulls out and our conference

572
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: predictions are out, which candidly came earlier this year than normal.

573
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: Not only have those things happen, we like to do

574
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: specific team predictions. They're really rapid fire. I give you

575
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: a ton of information and I'm gonna give you the best,

576
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: the worst, the most likely. I'm gonna I'm gonna give

577
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: you a lot on their coaching staffs, because we got

578
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: every coach on every staff grated internally here. So here's

579
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. We're gonna start it tonight. I'm

580
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: telling you man, I think I got a think I

581
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: got a bug bite on my on my shin Colin.

582
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: And we're not pre recorded, we're live, so we just

583
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: got a roll with it. Sucks, Bradley, bring that cream

584
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: in here. So So I'm gonna do Ohio State in

585
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: Florida State tonight, not back to back. I'm just telling

586
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: you the teams that are coming tonight. Here's what I'm

587
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: gonna do. I'm gonna go through it all. By the

588
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: time I get done with this, you'll know. I think

589
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: everything you need to know about these teams from an

590
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: outsider's perspective. Ohio State full preview here, here's what you

591
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: need to know over underwin total for the buck guys

592
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: ten and a half. They got the best odds to

593
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: win the Big Ten. They've also at FanDuel got the

594
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: best odds to go undefeated, even better than Liberty, and

595
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: that market has shifted a little bit in the past

596
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. They got the number two odds to

597
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: win the whole thing, behind only Georgia. I think I

598
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: know with Ohio State that this is the most talented

599
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: roster in the country. You could make an argument for

600
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: a couple of other teams. But I think this is

601
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: the most talented roster in the country. And the key

602
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: I think I know is in the guys they got

603
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: to come back. Of course, while a lot of folks

604
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: have been focused on the transfer portal editions, they got

605
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: key players to come back. It reeks of what Michigan

606
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: had happened the year before. That's not a comparison I

607
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: know they want to hear there, But in terms of

608
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: broad stroke, yeah, it is a comparison that I'll make.

609
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: I also think I know this could be the best

610
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: defense in the country, and if it's not, it'll be

611
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: really really close in any key metric. This year they

612
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: brought key players back, and then they added the best

613
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: defensive player in the country potentially in Caleb Downs from Alabama.

614
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: And the third thing I think I know is they

615
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: got Will Howard out of the transfer portal from Kansas State.

616
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: Will Howard needs to manage, He does not need to carry.

617
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: That's the luxury of being the quarterback at Ohio State.

618
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: You have got talent everywhere, the likes of which you

619
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: may never see again, and you definitely won't have talent

620
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: edges against your opponent ever again, like you will playing

621
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: at Ohio State. I don't care. If you go on

622
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: to play ten years in the league, you'll never have

623
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: a week by week edge in talent like you do

624
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: at Ohio State. That means you don't have to carry.

625
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: It's not like Shdor Sanders at Colorado, where everyone looks

626
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: to him says, bail us out, Shador, you gotta go

627
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: win the game for us. No one's gonna tell Will

628
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: Howard you gotta go win the game for us. They're

629
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: gonna tell him. You need to work within this system.

630
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: You've got two potential thousand yard backs here. You've got

631
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: a true freshman who's an alien out wide at wide receiver,

632
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: and then you got ones who were already here who

633
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: are really good. That defense may not give up more

634
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: than eleven or twelve points a game, don't lose games,

635
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: don't make bad decisions in big games, don't turn the

636
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: ball over. That's what Will Howard has to do. If

637
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: he does that, they can win a national championship. The

638
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: big questions at Ohio State. How improved is that offensive line.

639
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: It's the thing every Buckeye fans checking on when they

640
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: repractice reports right now, because you know what they should

641
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: be able to do. I'm gonna use a dirty word

642
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: here again. They should be able to do the same

643
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: thing Michigan did last year. Ohio State may have the

644
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: best defense in the country. Ohio State has got sledgehammer

645
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: running backs that don't sacrifice athleticism for physicality. They've got

646
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: good receiver play. They should be able to bludgeon people

647
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: if they want to, though, but you've got to have

648
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: the offensive line to do it. So should be is

649
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: the key phrase there. Will they be able to Does

650
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: this team have a bully mentality? That's another question I

651
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: have that's more a DNA thing. I keep going back

652
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: to what they should be able to do. Had Ryan

653
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: Day on the show last week, and I asked them,

654
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: when you got out of last season and you self

655
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: scouted and evaluated your program, where there areas where you

656
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: said we've got to change, which every coach does every year.

657
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: But I was specifically wondering, if you know you've got

658
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: the personnel to do whatever you want to do, if

659
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: you know you've got the strength and conditioning and nutrition

660
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: at your disposal to mold your team into any kind

661
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: of team you wanted to be. Do you want to

662
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: be a fighter jet or do you want to be

663
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: a wrecking ball or maybe just both. There needs to

664
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: be a little more wrecking ball mentality to that team

665
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: this year because there's no excuse for Ohio State to

666
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: ever be the second most physical team on the field.

667
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: There's no excuse in the fourth quarter for a team

668
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: to ever be confident they can just drive on Ohio

669
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: State and bleed the clock. There should be confidence that

670
00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: Ohio State can do that to someone else. And number three,

671
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: when we start to learn more about this team, when

672
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: we see him a few games in, they're gonna be

673
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: winning because their schedule's favorable early on. But by the

674
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: time they go to Oregon. Are there some specific defensive

675
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: matchups that some of these teams find they can exploit.

676
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: There's not gonna be a glaring weakness. It's Ohio State.

677
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 1: They won't have glaring weaknesses. But like the number two

678
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: corner position, do you find that tight ends can have

679
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 1: favorable matchups against outside linebacker? That sort of thing. It's

680
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,439
Speaker 1: gonna matter way more down the road than it would

681
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: matter against Akron. For example. The coaching staff here is

682
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: really good. Our internal grades have This is a top

683
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,959
Speaker 1: five staff overall. That is not just Ryan Day that's

684
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 1: down the flow chart from Ryan Day. They've got good continuity.

685
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: It's top five overall staff, and that OCDC combo is elite.

686
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly, we've got engraded as a top fifteen offensive coordinator.

687
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 1: Now he's been a head coach for a while, but

688
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: just in terms of play calling, Chip Kelly's a top

689
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: fifteen guy, and Jim Knowles is way up there as well.

690
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: That's an elite o c DC combo. And I'm really

691
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: looking forward to Chip Kelly this year and what he

692
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: does with what he has. The schedule overview, it's a

693
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: very easy non conference so unlike Michigan play in Texas

694
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 1: in week two, we don't have that on this schedule

695
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: for them. They got Akron, Western, Michigan, Marshall, and then

696
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: they dive into conference play so at Oregon, at Penn State,

697
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: and Michigan. It's why this is not an easy schedule.

698
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: At first glance, you look at it and you say, oh,

699
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 1: these are layups. Some of them are some of them marked.

700
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 1: Two of their three biggest games are on the road

701
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: at Oregon, at Penn State, Michigan. Two of those three

702
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: are on the road, and they also get Iowa week one, two,

703
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: three for five, and then they play Nebraska after a

704
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: bye week. And it's not that I'm telling you watch out,

705
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you watch out for those defenses, you know,

706
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: cause if they don't have things rolling offensively, Nebraska can

707
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: put you in a bad spot. They may not be

708
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 1: able to score on you, but Nebraska's defense and Iowa's

709
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: defense can put you in a bad spot. So those

710
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: will be good tests for that offense. If for nothing else,

711
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: best case, worst case, most likely record scenario here, surefire,

712
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: there's a twelve and oh in the cards for Ohio

713
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 1: State if everything goes well. If we simulated the season

714
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: one hundred times, there's a twelve and oh there. I

715
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 1: think the worst they could do this year is nine

716
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: to three, and I think the most likely record outcome

717
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,720
Speaker 1: is eleven and one. I leaned on twelve and oh. However,

718
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: you're not gonna have a most likely twelve and oh

719
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,479
Speaker 1: when you got those two games on the road. JP

720
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: Poles got them at number two to start the season.

721
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: The model loves Ohio State. I got them going eleven

722
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: and one in the regular season. What we don't do

723
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: is we don't put every one of your games up

724
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: on this board behind us and predict which game you're

725
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: gonna lose. I don't think there's any skill in that whatsoever.

726
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: I've always thought that's kind of a dumb exercise. I

727
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: thought it. You guys can do it if you want to. However,

728
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: I do think eleven and one is where I've got them,

729
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: and then I think they're in the playoff, and I

730
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: think they probably win the Big ten and off to

731
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: the races and could very well win the national championship.

732
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Jackson, Mississippi. Hobbes, New Mexico is

733
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: tuned in tonight, and Corpus Christi, Texas as well. Appreciate

734
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: you guys so much. One small favor before I ask you,

735
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: let me check something. I was going to ask you

736
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: to get us over fifty likes, but we're already over

737
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy, so you know what. Like the

738
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: video anyway, if you're watching live, and if you're watching

739
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: the replay, do so as well. And if you've not subscribed,

740
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: do that. I'm done begging, all right, So the big

741
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: what ifs? I got several more things to get to tonight.

742
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: I got Florida State full prediction. I got some questions

743
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: for you bold predictions. I'm going to venture into the

744
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: live chat in a little while, which is something I

745
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: didn't even tell Colin I was gonna do. He doesn't

746
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 1: even have elements ready for it. It's fine, Colin. Biggest

747
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: what ifs in college football this year? Hey, what if

748
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 1: Niko iam Aliaba in Knoxville is just a breakout star,

749
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: not average, not easing into things? Miko and Maliava one

750
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacks in the country this year. He's

751
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: got the raw physical tools to be that, he's got

752
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 1: the head on his shoulders to be that. He's certainly

753
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: got the system he's in to warrant consideration for that. Well,

754
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: if he was that, Dad, that'd be a legitimate SEC contender,

755
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: that'd be a playoff contender. Depending on how good their

756
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,240
Speaker 1: defense is at Tennessee, they would be in the national

757
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: title conversation. Now that's lofty. That's lofty, So I'm a pause.

758
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: They haven't done that since Philip Former was there, And

759
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 1: might I add I was watching as much practice footage

760
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 1: as I could yesterday, and I saw some footage from Tennessee. Colin,

761
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: I saw some footage from Knoxville, and you'll never guess

762
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:52,280
Speaker 1: who was hanging out at practice yesterday. One Philip Fohmer.

763
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,280
Speaker 1: He's kind of hanging out there as he has every

764
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 1: right to do. It's just always always nice to see

765
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 1: Philip Fomer roman the door sidelines in Knoxville. How good

766
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: is that defense this year? Because if niko i aamalaiava

767
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: popping coincides with them having oh top twenty defense, that's

768
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: a national title contender. Hope you realize that The reason

769
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: I mentioned top twenty is because one of you had

770
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: one of your bold predictions the other day, be that

771
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: Tennessee was going to be a top twenty defense and

772
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: have the number one offense. They had the number one

773
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 1: offense two years ago. Defense may not be worlds off

774
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: secondary I have to see to believe. But defense may

775
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: not be worlds off wide receiver, good running back, good

776
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: offensive line. Question, but I think they'll work it out.

777
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: So if they have star potential at quarterback, then that

778
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: team's got big time potential overall. Next up, as we

779
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: venture just up the road here in Nashville, just up

780
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:51,240
Speaker 1: the road a little waste to Louisville. What if Tyler

781
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: Shuck is healthy this year? That's a big what if

782
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: if you know him and you know his history, because

783
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: he hasn't played more than two thirds of a season ever.

784
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: But when he's played, all he's done is win. So

785
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: if I could just get helped out of him, that'd

786
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: be a wonderful thing for Louisville, wouldn't it. Now here's

787
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: the problem. Kind of, he's a dual threat guy. Therefore

788
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: he's not showcasing his full game unless he's using his legs.

789
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,439
Speaker 1: Doing that makes him incredibly injury prone. That's the catch

790
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: twenty two. Now, they were ten and four last year

791
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: at Louisville. Offense held him back. Though you know they

792
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: could have been better than that. They could have been

793
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: an acc championship team. Last year, offense held him back.

794
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: The transfer portal they had to use to revamp and

795
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,919
Speaker 1: they did. They got a much harder schedule this year.

796
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 1: But if he's healthy, they can be contenders. Now here's

797
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: the problem. The problem is if you dive into their

798
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: schedule a little bit. I'm a paper pop on this

799
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 1: one because this bears close watching. There is something called

800
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,720
Speaker 1: by luck and they don't have it, and that means

801
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:00,959
Speaker 1: the two of the best teams they play this year,

802
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 1: Miami and Clemson both have buys before them. They play

803
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: like four or five consecutive games before each one of them.

804
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: So it's not the best structured schedule. But if I

805
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: get a Helthy Tyler shuck hoops amongst us, knows what

806
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: could happen there? And then the third question, third what

807
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: if is one that is sort of evergreen around here?

808
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: Net jets wheels up. I hope you're listening. What if

809
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: we finally make it to two games in one day

810
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: this year? Now, I'm not talking about one where you

811
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: know there are multiple games happening, like Clemson plays Georgia

812
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: Week one in Atlanta. Well, I'm not going to that

813
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: whe and then going down the road to Georgia State

814
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: at what was formerly known as Turner Field. That doesn't count.

815
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: We're talking about legit one town to another town, probably

816
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: a noon kickoff, then the seven thirty kickoff. Making it

817
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: happen this year. It's been a goal. I dropped the

818
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 1: ball horrifically two years ago. For those who don't know

819
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: the story, we were at the Red River Shootout owned

820
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: by no other name, on this program and it was

821
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: a classic Kayleb Williams took over for Spencer Rattler and

822
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley's Oklahoma Sooners mounted a fierce comeback and they

823
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 1: beat Texas and fireworks everywhere. It's great, and you're exhausted,

824
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 1: and then you leave the Cotton Bowl and you've got

825
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: a decision to make because down the road two hours

826
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: in college station, Alabama's playing Texas A and M. That night,

827
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 1: Bama is about a three touchdown favorite. You're holding a

828
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: sideline pass to the game, but you're also sun burnt

829
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: and you want to get home because you've got to

830
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: show the next night. And there's a plane waiting on you.

831
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 1: There you're sitting at love Field. And I got on

832
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 1: the plane and somewhere over Arkansas, I watched as Seth Small,

833
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: I believe was the kicker's name, kicked the game winning

834
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 1: field goal beat Alabama. The field gets stormed. I'm humiliating

835
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: as the plane celebrates. Everyone roots against Alabama set Bama

836
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: fans and I have not lived it down since I

837
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: had a shot. I let it go, I let it

838
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: off the hook that day. Is this the year we

839
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: can make it happen? There are some candidates. There are

840
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: some candidates. It's still up in the air. It remains

841
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 1: to be seen. So there's the big what ifs in

842
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:25,439
Speaker 1: college football this year. There's so many things happening around

843
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: here right now. I mean, we are in some meetings

844
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: that we used to make fun of management for being in,

845
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,240
Speaker 1: but now we're in the meetings and it's all good stuff,

846
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: all good stuff happening that you've made possible. And there's

847
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: all this stuff that I want to be able to

848
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: tell you and I can't quite yet. Big change is coming,

849
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: all for the better. Don't worry about anything. We're not

850
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: going to be broadcasting from under a bridge. I think

851
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: it'd be a decent show, but HR is totally against it.

852
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: I don't think they want to send the crew out there.

853
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 1: It's not sending me out there. I mean, I hop

854
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: freight train, so I'm under bridges all the time, that is,

855
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,479
Speaker 1: but I do mean it. I don't have to change

856
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: clothes when I do it either. Let's do the Florida

857
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: State prediction right quick. Although I'm not gonna skim through it.

858
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: I mean I'm I'm gonna dive in. But we'd like

859
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 1: to do these things rapid fire. And then I got

860
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: a couple of more things to get to and then

861
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: I will dive into the live chat. The live chat

862
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 1: looks lively tonight, way more emoji usage than normal. Here's

863
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: the Florida State prediction, at least as far as we

864
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: can see it this year. Here's what you need to know.

865
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: The over underwind total at FanDuel is nine and a

866
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,399
Speaker 1: half for Florida State. They got the best odds as

867
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: we sit here right now to win the conference, which

868
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: they did last year, so the market thinks they may

869
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: very well repeat. They have got three straight top ten

870
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: portal classes baked into this roster right now. They got

871
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 1: the tenth best odds to win the whole thing this year,

872
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: so they are heavily favored to not only be an

873
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: ACC contender, but maybe win the conference, maybe make the playoff.

874
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: And they tasted it last year, and there's a sour

875
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:01,760
Speaker 1: taste in the mouth. How about that you win the conference,

876
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: you go undefeated. Yet with the way the cookie crumbled,

877
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: as me Mal would say, it just made everyone angry

878
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,399
Speaker 1: down there. I think I know a few things about

879
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 1: Florida State. I think I know offensive line can be

880
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: a strength of this team, multiple All ACC caliber pieces there.

881
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:20,240
Speaker 1: I also think dB is another strength of this team,

882
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: and there's good young depth there too. Behind the guys

883
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: who are proven. They got three sure fire NFL guys

884
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: I think in that secondary. But you got some young cats.

885
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 1: Maybe they play this year, maybe they don't play this year.

886
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 1: But you know, it's not really top heavy. There's a

887
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: layer of top soil, but then there's some fertile soil

888
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:38,439
Speaker 1: beneath that. That's the way you want a depth chart

889
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 1: to look. And I think I know they've got staying power.

890
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes we see teams have a magical season and then

891
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: they fail to recapture the magic. I don't think that's

892
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 1: Mike norvel I don't think that's Florida State. They fooled

893
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 1: some people because they leaned on the portal really heavily

894
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: early on, and people were misguided enough to think, oh,

895
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,399
Speaker 1: they're just gonna be a one trick pony. They don't

896
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: really know how to recruit. They're not building program. They

897
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 1: were doing those things the whole time. They just supplemented

898
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 1: to get there faster. But they were doing those things

899
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: the whole time. So it's not an experiment down there.

900
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: It's a program. It's a really good program. And they

901
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: locked Mike Norvella up for a long time. So staying

902
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: power means I think they're going to be in this

903
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,720
Speaker 1: conversation every year. The big question here is pretty obvious.

904
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: It's the level of quarterback play that they get. Djuiy

905
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: Angliley transferred down there. We had Jonathan Smith on the

906
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 1: show last week. Me and Canell were interviewing him, and

907
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: then after we got done, we were kind of talking

908
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 1: about Dju because that was Jonathan Smith quarterback last year

909
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 1: up at Oregon State. And Jonathan Smith couldn't praise him

910
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: enough And it wasn't he guarantee that he's going to

911
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: do anything, but it was just how smart he is,

912
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: how hard working he is, how attentive he is, how

913
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: much he cares about it. Again, does that mean he'll

914
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: be any better than a fifty seven percent completion guy?

915
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: It does not, But it means he'll maximize whatever he

916
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: has in him, and he's playing for a staff that

917
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,760
Speaker 1: I think can maximize whatever he has in him. Fourteen

918
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 1: picks over the last two seasons. Got to improve on it.

919
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: Completion percentage, got to improve on it. I think he will.

920
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: It's just by how much how good do they backfill

921
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: a receiver. That's the other thing that kind of goes

922
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: hand in hand with DJ Jordan Travis last year had

923
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: stus to throw to keyw Colem's not there anymore. You know,

924
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: Johnny Wilson's not there anymore. Now that doesn't mean it's

925
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: a poor man's roster, but when you look at the

926
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:30,319
Speaker 1: next guy's up, you probably can't lean on dju to

927
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: make them. If you had like Caleb Williams there, he

928
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 1: can make receivers. I don't think we're looking at that

929
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 1: caliber quarterback. So the names that start to emerge, the

930
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,959
Speaker 1: go to guys that start to emerge, it's a big question.

931
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,720
Speaker 1: There's a lot of young potential. It's just college football.

932
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 1: It's not proven yet. The staff overview at Florida State,

933
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: it's a top ten coaching staff top to bottom. That's

934
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: a big deal. Now, don't overlook that in the whole country.

935
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: It's top ten coaching staff. And I'm talking about multiple layers,

936
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: the game day aspect, the recruiting aspect, the development aspect.

937
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: That's a top ten coaching staff. Didn't think I'd be

938
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: saying that a couple of years ago. It's Mike Norvell's offense.

939
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 1: Alex Akins is in there listed as the OC. You

940
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: would have to convince me that it's not Mike Norvell's

941
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,879
Speaker 1: offense is not him calling him Adam Fuller there though

942
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: at defensive coordinator they were top five in scoring efficiency

943
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 1: last year. You look at his career and there's there's

944
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: some up and down to it, which is to be expected.

945
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,919
Speaker 1: Let's see if they can be consistent there again this year.

946
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: Got some good players over there. That's kind of a

947
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: it's a first world problem to have because it's the

948
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: top ten staff overall. But that's what I'm paying attention

949
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,280
Speaker 1: to this year with their coaching staff. The schedule review,

950
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 1: Florida State cuts no corners in non conference play. They

951
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 1: got Notre Dame at Notre Dame. By the way, They've

952
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:59,839
Speaker 1: got Memphis in week three. They have got Florida as

953
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: they do every year at the end of the season,

954
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:06,240
Speaker 1: and they get Clemson, and they get Miami in conference play.

955
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 1: So you got it to do. It's not an easy

956
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: schedule here. However, look at this, if you're listening on podcasts,

957
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 1: think about how a schedule normally stacks up. It is

958
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: not like this. Florida State plays North Carolina the second

959
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:26,319
Speaker 1: of November and they're done with conference play. Their last

960
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 1: three games are out of conference, which is wild like,

961
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 1: who else plays a schedule like that. It's not a

962
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: bad thing or a good thing. It's just a weird thing.

963
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 1: The best case, worst case, most likely record scenario here,

964
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: there is a twelve and zero in the cards for

965
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: Florida State. I think there's also a seven and five

966
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 1: if quarterback play is not what it needs to be,

967
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: if they do regress in their offensive output defense, if

968
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 1: it fluctuates a little bit, it's just seven and five

969
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:55,360
Speaker 1: is worst of worst case. The likely record outcome I

970
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: think for them this year is ten and two, and

971
00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: that's my prediction for them. I got them going ten

972
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 1: and two to JP poll. The model has them at

973
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:05,359
Speaker 1: number nine in the country coming into the season, right

974
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: behind Old Miss, right ahead of LSU. You guys can

975
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: chop that up any which way you want to, but

976
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,439
Speaker 1: Florida State's right there. And if that quarterback piece pans out,

977
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 1: and if those wide receivers develop, and there may be

978
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 1: above and beyond what you expected them to be, maybe

979
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:21,879
Speaker 1: more than just an acc contender there, maybe more than

980
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 1: just contending to be in the playoff. All right, I

981
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: got a couple of big questions that I want to

982
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 1: get to, and then we'll get to Bowel predictions, and

983
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: then we'll just check out the chat over here. Do

984
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 1: you think Shadoor Sanders is going to be a top

985
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 1: five quarterback this year out at Colorado? Do you think

986
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:41,799
Speaker 1: Shadoor Sanders, however you define this is a top five

987
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 1: quarterback this year, because I have problem with it. I

988
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,359
Speaker 1: have a problem even gauging it. Some of you asked this.

989
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: One of you asked this question earlier today, so we

990
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 1: threw it in the show. It's not an apples to

991
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:56,959
Speaker 1: apples thing. If you ask me about Carson Beckett Georgia,

992
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 1: if you asked me about any of a number of

993
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 1: these guys Quinn were at Texas, Jalen Millroe at Alabama,

994
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 1: they have talent all around them. Shuduur Sanders doesn't have

995
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: a fraction of that kind of talent around him. So

996
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: he has to do a lot more now to a

997
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: certain extent, that's the way the game's always been. Some

998
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 1: guys have to do more than others. If you're the

999
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 1: quarterback at Ohio State, you don't have to do as

1000
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:23,800
Speaker 1: much as the quarterback and Indiana. But last year he

1001
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 1: was a thirty two hundred yard guy, twenty seven touchdowns,

1002
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 1: three picks, but they were the nation's worst run game,

1003
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 1: offensive line allowed the second most sacks per game in

1004
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:36,320
Speaker 1: the country. So it can't get anything but better there.

1005
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: But I don't look at it as can Shudour be

1006
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 1: a top five quarterback. I think if I were to

1007
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 1: put him in Columbus, though, Io, would be the preseason

1008
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: Heisman favorite. So if I were to put him in Alabama,

1009
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 1: if I were to put him at Miami, a lot

1010
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 1: of those places that do to be the preseason Heisman favorite.

1011
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 1: If I put him at Florida State, he'd be the

1012
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: preseason Heisman favorite. So it didn't whether he's good, whether

1013
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: he's worth anything or not. It's how good's Colorado around him.

1014
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that. So that's one

1015
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 1: of the great mysteries that this season will start to

1016
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 1: unveil before our eyes in early September. And who they

1017
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:11,839
Speaker 1: play North Dakota State Week one? I think it is

1018
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 1: Thursday night. How dare they compete against the show? By

1019
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 1: the way, the next question I have, I have a

1020
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: it she knows the next question, and this one's going

1021
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: to impact the national championship picture. Does Notre Dame have

1022
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: enough firepower? Not just to compete to make the playoff,

1023
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: but to be a legitimate national title contender, because that

1024
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: would be a level above and beyond what they've had

1025
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,760
Speaker 1: in recent history. They're going to be twenty to thirty

1026
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 1: playoff contenders every year because we're giving away twelve spots.

1027
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 1: So coming into a season, you may have even more

1028
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: than that. It may be like twenty five to forty

1029
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 1: playoff contenders where if everything went right for him, you

1030
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 1: could see that team making one of the twelve spots.

1031
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 1: But you're never I don't think, going to have more

1032
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:59,399
Speaker 1: than four to eight teams that you could see when

1033
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 1: the whole thing and Notre Dame hadn't been in that

1034
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 1: conversation because Notre Dame hadn't been good enough. Offensively, they

1035
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: hired Mike Denbrock from LSU. Huge Hire, Huge Hire, one

1036
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 1: of the best OCDC combos. There. You got Al Golden,

1037
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:15,359
Speaker 1: you got Mike Denbrock, crazy good one two combo at

1038
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 1: the coordinator spot from Marcus Freeman. They were top ten

1039
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: in points per game last year offensively. Did you know that?

1040
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 1: Did you? I don't think many people realize that, but

1041
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:25,919
Speaker 1: it's kind of like Penn State. Penn State was top

1042
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,399
Speaker 1: twenty last year. In the big moments, could you count

1043
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 1: on them to score? And likewise with Notre Dame this year,

1044
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 1: Riley Leonard is not the passer that Hartman was, but

1045
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 1: he's a dual threat. And Mike Denbrock just got done

1046
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 1: winning a Heisman with one of those guys. We're not

1047
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 1: calling him Jalen d Jayden Daniels two point zero, but

1048
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 1: he just got done winning a Heisman with one of

1049
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: those guys. The offensive line probably down a notch from

1050
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 1: last year. I think that's safe to say lost a

1051
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: big time running back. Should still be able to run

1052
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 1: the ball fairly effectively. Need several young receivers to emerge.

1053
00:53:57,719 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 1: Chris Mitchell also is a transfer they got from f

1054
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 1: That's a thousand yard receiving type guy. If that stuff

1055
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 1: pans out, it's kind of one of the fun parts

1056
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: of August. There's a lot of if is the word

1057
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 1: of August. If they were to have that and you'll

1058
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 1: see them early, you don't know everything you need to

1059
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 1: know in that week one game against A and M,

1060
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: because we don't have a preseason in this sport. But

1061
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if they win thirty to twenty, if they

1062
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: went in there and scratched out thirty points against Texas

1063
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,239
Speaker 1: A and M. Well, then they may be off to

1064
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: the races. You won't see them play another game on

1065
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 1: your radar until Louisville five weeks later. So imagine how

1066
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 1: much of the line at FanDuel would change on that

1067
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 1: game based on the outcome of the first one. Speaking

1068
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 1: of which, FanDuel the exclusive odds provider of pet State,

1069
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: and we appreciate them because they keep on boosting this

1070
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,720
Speaker 1: odds market and they keep on putting new prop bets

1071
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 1: out there, and I'm having a lot of fun looking

1072
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:53,719
Speaker 1: at them because I've been talking about the playoff. You know,

1073
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 1: we did our playoff predictions last Sunday night, and that's

1074
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 1: very simple. I have Miami in the playoff. Some of

1075
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:03,840
Speaker 1: you don't think Miami is going to go to the playoff,

1076
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 1: Well that's very easy. All we gotta do is go

1077
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 1: to FanDuel and we can pull up make the Playoff

1078
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:12,399
Speaker 1: and click on Miami and it gives you a yes

1079
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 1: no bet and you get us go bet it. I

1080
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 1: have for several teams. I'm not showing you my betting

1081
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 1: slips yet. I will. I haven't shown you the betting

1082
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:23,839
Speaker 1: slips yet, but if you believe in something and you

1083
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: are so inclined, and it's legal where you are. That's

1084
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 1: how you really back it up. Just go go to

1085
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 1: FanDuel and bet. It's really that simple. And if you

1086
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:35,839
Speaker 1: don't feel like betting, or maybe it's not legal where

1087
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: you are, you can still go. Look. It's really fun

Speaker 1: on the show tonight, we've got some bold predictions. And

1112
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:09,839
Speaker 1: then if I let's just say I were to look

1113
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 1: in the live chat right now, what's in here? I

1114
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 1: agree with this? Oh boy, Josh's you know what? Here's

1115
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 1: why I need to go to the live chat tonight, Jesse.

1116
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 1: Let me read this out loud. Josh's review of FSU

1117
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 1: is typically superficial. You'd think it would kill him to

1118
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 1: provide a little more specific content. Well, here's the thing.

1119
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:34,919
Speaker 1: This is not Nole's two four seven dot Com. I've

1120
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 1: got people listening from LA to New York, to Seattle

1121
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 1: to Miami, especially Miami. That's not the kind of team

1122
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 1: preview that we're gonna do. That's not the way that

1123
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 1: we've ever done it here. So I'm glad I looked

1124
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 1: in the live chat. I will be with you guys

1125
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: in a couple of minutes. I will seat you in

1126
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. Boldest predictions according to you guys,

1127
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: that you would bet your own money on this year.

1128
00:57:56,680 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: First up tonight, It's a bold one. Jacob from Anville, PA.

1129
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 1: Oregon and Texas both win their conferences in the first

1130
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 1: year and they meet for the national title. So Oregon's

1131
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 1: got the second best odds to win the Big Ten.

1132
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: Texas has got the second best odds I think right

1133
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: now to win the SEC. So that has to happen.

1134
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: Both of them have to win their conference. But then

1135
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:24,439
Speaker 1: they both have to make the playoff, have the first

1136
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:27,479
Speaker 1: round by not be lined up on the same side

1137
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: of the bracket, because if they play before the final

1138
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 1: then that can't happen. And they have to win two

1139
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 1: playoff games apiece in order to face off in the

1140
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 1: national title game. And even though these are two good teams,

1141
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 1: you're talking about the third and fourth odds to win

1142
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 1: the whole thing. To have that happen in that order,

1143
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 1: and to be able to predict it right now, it's

1144
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 1: pretty bold. So I'm gonna call that a nine point

1145
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: twenty five on the boldness scale. Next up Ben in Blacksburg, Virginia.

1146
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 1: The ACC will have a winning record against the SEC

1147
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 1: this season. Paper pop for Ben. There, I'm gonna go

1148
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 1: ahead and tell you this is a nine for me.

1149
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 1: So they've got eleven games. So here's how it stacks up.

1150
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 1: The ACC plays eleven games against the SEC this year.

1151
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 1: They need to win six of them for Ben's prediction

1152
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 1: to come true. I got a few games that I

1153
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 1: just don't think you have much of a shot in.

1154
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 1: Wake is not gonna beat Ole miss I don't think

1155
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 1: BC is gonna beat Missouri, and I don't think Georgia

1156
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 1: Tech's gonna beat Georgia. So I'm gonna give the SEC

1157
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:30,919
Speaker 1: a three and oher leg up there. Okay, Then there's

1158
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 1: this next tier where the ACC will be favored. Virginia

1159
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 1: Tech will be favored against Vandy and they'll probably beat them. Uh.

1160
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 1: South Carolina against Clemson. Clemson will be heavily favored there.

1161
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 1: I think Clemson would win that game, but it's a

1162
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 1: long way away. Florida and FSU FSU favored. Win two

1163
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 1: of those three and you've gotten back to within puncher's distance,

1164
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 1: then you got the total toss up games. Miami, Florida, Louisville, Florida.

1165
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 1: Is that right, Jesse, Louisville, Pla, Florida. What am I

1166
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: looking at here? Louisville, Kentucky. Yeah, that's okay, that's not enough.

1167
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 1: That's tough. That's my handwriting, cal Auburn, Tennessee and c State.

1168
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at this and I'm saying, Okay, if

1169
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 1: if we win none of the top ones, then we

1170
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 1: win two of those three that we're favored in. Oh

1171
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 1: can we win all four of these? Are we gonna

1172
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 1: have to have this come down to Clemson versus Georgia?

1173
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 1: Is the question? I think this is tough. ACC's got

1174
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 1: a threat of needle here, and so because I don't

1175
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 1: think they will, I'm gonna call that a nine on

1176
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 1: the boldness scale. Next up, it's the boldest prediction of

1177
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 1: the night. This almost got a ten. As it stands,

1178
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:43,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna get a nine point seventy five adam from Hartford, Wisconsin.

1179
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 1: Other than the G five champ, there will be no

1180
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 1: new teams to make the twelve team playoff this year

1181
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: that haven't already made the four team playoff. So the

1182
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 1: four team playoff has been around for a decade and

1183
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 1: we have had fifteen teams make it. Bam Ma Clemson

1184
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 1: in Ohio. I'm not going to name them all. You

1185
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 1: remember who's made it. I hope you remember since he

1186
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 1: made it, Michigan State made it, Washington, TCU, those are

1187
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 1: the ones you probably forget about. Oregon made the first one,

1188
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 1: so those teams have all made it. Oklahoma's made it.

1189
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 1: So we're saying no new teams are going to be

1190
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 1: in this thing. Well, the Big twelve alone gives you

1191
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 1: a massive hurdle you have to clear because remember the

1192
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 1: conference champ there's going to be in the playoff. So

1193
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 1: unless it's TCU or Cincinnati, who have the tenth and

1194
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 1: twelfth best odds respectively to win the conference. If it's

1195
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:36,439
Speaker 1: anyone other than TCU or Cincinnati winning that thing, this

1196
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 1: prediction is toast. If Utah or Kansas State or Oklahoma

1197
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 1: State or Iowa State, if any of them, I just

1198
01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: skipped right over UCF as soon as we call them

1199
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 1: the sleeper program in America. If any of them, if

1200
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 1: anyone other than TCU or since he wins the Big Twelve,

1201
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 1: this prediction's done. And that's not even to mention Miami

1202
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 1: if they made it. Prediction done, Tennessee, Penn State, Ole,

1203
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 1: miss if they make it the predictions done. So you

1204
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 1: know what, Jesse, you were right. This is a ten.

1205
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but this is a ten

1206
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: on the boldness scale. That's just not gonna happen. And

1207
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 1: it's just not gonna happen. Forget it. It's not gonna happen.

1208
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 1: Next up, still bold here as well. This is Milly

1209
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 1: from Columbus, Georgia. Hat tip to the Bay City, the

1210
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 1: Fountain City of Columbus, Georgia. Four coaches in the SEC

1211
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 1: are not where they are right now. Now. We had

1212
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:33,440
Speaker 1: to interpret this, so we're saying by the end of

1213
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 1: the season, let's just call it the end of January,

1214
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 1: the end of the twenty twenty four season, four SEC

1215
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 1: head coaches will no longer be where they are. It

1216
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 1: could mean they got fired, it could mean they went

1217
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 1: on a mission trip to Africa, whatever happened, they're not

1218
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:54,920
Speaker 1: there anymore. I think this counts on two of them

1219
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:59,400
Speaker 1: getting fired, so you're probably counting on the Napier hot

1220
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,640
Speaker 1: seat not working out, the Pittman hot seat not working out.

1221
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 1: And even then you gotta have other guys that just leave,

1222
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 1: Like maybe Brian Kelly says I'm done with it, Maybe

1223
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin takes another job, Maybe Eli Drinkwitz takes another job.

1224
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 1: I don't know how this is gonna happen, but crazier

1225
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 1: things have happened. So I'm only gonna call it a

1226
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 1: nine because you never know what's happening behind the scenes.

1227
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:25,640
Speaker 1: Actually I do sometimes. That's why I'm only gonna call

1228
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 1: it a nine. Now, this is where we would normally

1229
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 1: wrap the show up, and you know what, if you

1230
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 1: want to leave, go ahead. But I do want to

1231
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 1: just toy around with something that I may do a

1232
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 1: whole show of down the Road, not replacing our live shows.

1233
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 1: But I don't ever look at the live chat, and

1234
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 1: I think I need to look at the live chat more.

1235
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna look over here. For instance, no one

1236
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 1: takes UCF seriously is the first thing I saw? Well,

1237
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 1: that's not correct, Colin. If you've got that odds board

1238
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,320
Speaker 1: you had in there for the Big Twelve, can you

1239
01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 1: throw that back up for just a second. No one

1240
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 1: takes you UCF seriously. Let me tell you I'm not

1241
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 1: gonna go over all this again. Last show I gave

1242
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:13,680
Speaker 1: several reasons why not only do people take UCF seriously,

1243
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 1: I think it's the most underrated program pound for pound

1244
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:19,480
Speaker 1: in all of power. For these are FanDuel's odds to

1245
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 1: win the Big Twelve this year, They've got the fourth

1246
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,760
Speaker 1: best odds to win the Big Twelve? What do we

1247
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:27,120
Speaker 1: mean no one takes them seriously? Malzon just went and

1248
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 1: got kJ Jefferson out of the transfer portal. We were

1249
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 1: down in Orlando this past spring. Malzon sat there and

1250
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:34,960
Speaker 1: looked me right in my eye and said, this is

1251
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:37,880
Speaker 1: the closest I've ever had Cam Newton. Notice what he

1252
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 1: did not say. He did not say this is Cam

1253
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: Newton two point zero. He just said, in terms of

1254
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: skill set, this is the closest I've had where I

1255
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:48,920
Speaker 1: can do the kinds of things that I did with him. Again,

1256
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:55,000
Speaker 1: how did I become an Eyewa State fan? Eric asks, Well, Eric,

1257
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 1: I grew up in Columbus, Georgia, which tells you nothing.

1258
01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 1: I grew up in Harris County, Georgia's North Columbus, which

1259
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:04,480
Speaker 1: tells you nothing. Hulk Hogan was a big influence on

1260
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 1: my adolescence. The red and yellow and I love tornadoes.

1261
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 1: So there was a team in Ames, Iowa that was

1262
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,320
Speaker 1: clad in red and yellow every week. They didn't win

1263
01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 1: a lot, but they at the time had a literal

1264
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 1: bird in a tornado on the side of their helmet.

1265
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:25,960
Speaker 1: And why in the world they ever went away from

1266
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 1: that is one of Lafe's great mysteries. But Iowa State

1267
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 1: was in the middle of nowhere as far as I

1268
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 1: was concerned, I never thought i'd visit Iowa. Thankfully I

1269
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:37,640
Speaker 1: was wrong. But I used to watch them and it

1270
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:40,439
Speaker 1: felt like they were playing on another planet. Where's Iowa, Dad,

1271
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 1: I don't even know where that is, you know what?

1272
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:47,440
Speaker 1: I like him anyway, That's how it happened. Josh is

1273
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 1: the kid who died in stand By Me Live. Mason.

1274
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna disappoint you here. I don't think stand By

1275
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 1: Me is as great as people make it out to

1276
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 1: be as a movie. And if there were people in

1277
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 1: the studio right now that throw stuff at me. I

1278
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 1: just never got I get it. It's not bad, but

1279
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 1: it's not on my top thirty all time. And that's

1280
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:17,240
Speaker 1: with the train scene. So who will win the MAC

1281
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 1: this year? That's not for me to say right now

1282
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 1: because we haven't done our Mac breakdown yet. Odds of

1283
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:28,920
Speaker 1: a repeat of beating Georgia and Bama in twenty twenty four, Timothy,

1284
01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 1: I have no clue who you're even talking about. There's

1285
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:34,640
Speaker 1: a lot of there's a lot of debate in the

1286
01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 1: live chat every week about how real Jesse and Colin are.

1287
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 1: I think some of you are trying to reverse psychology me.

1288
01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:43,919
Speaker 1: You want me to prove you wrong by putting them

1289
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 1: on air, But Colin borders on witness protection, so I

1290
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:51,520
Speaker 1: can't put him on air. Jesse, I will put him

1291
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 1: on air if he'll shave his head, and he won't

1292
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 1: do that. So neither of them are going to appear

1293
01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 1: on air. And if that means you think I'm lying

1294
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 1: about their existence, it just means you think I'm lying

1295
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 1: about their existence. And as for Bradley, and this is

1296
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:07,960
Speaker 1: a true story, Bradley the Associate has been on air before.

1297
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:11,800
Speaker 1: Once upon a time. Some of you may remember this Actually,

1298
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 1: once upon a time, this show emanated from a very

1299
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:20,440
Speaker 1: lonely local television studio down in Columbus, Georgia WLTZ, NBC

1300
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 1: thirty eight off Bunivista Road, not Buena Vista Bunivista Road

1301
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 1: as they call it in Columbus. And we had a

1302
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 1: local late night college football show called Football Nightly down

1303
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 1: South before it became Late Kick. And Bradley was a PA,

1304
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:39,120
Speaker 1: which stands for production assistant. Don't know, he just kind

1305
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 1: of showed up at the door one day. They let

1306
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:42,840
Speaker 1: him in, they gave him some food and ended up

1307
01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 1: giving him a job. And so Bradley's a PA and

1308
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 1: he works his way up to director. And so Bradley

1309
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: is punching the show, that's what you called directing. Colin's

1310
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 1: punching the show right now. And Bradley would be in

1311
01:07:53,840 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 1: my ear, And unlike Colin, who's a professional, Bradley would

1312
01:07:57,360 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 1: just talk in my ear. If I said something he

1313
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 1: did agreed with he just saved in No way, there's

1314
01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 1: no way you just said that. So I have to

1315
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 1: pull the IFB out of my ear. Well, anyway, Bradley

1316
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 1: starts talking. When Vanderbilt started the season hot, remember the

1317
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:18,680
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen year, I think it was Bama started the

1318
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:21,040
Speaker 1: season hot, because they did every year. Vandy starts the

1319
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 1: season hot. That defensive lineman for Vandy, who was the

1320
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 1: size of Obama tight end, starts running his mouth about

1321
01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:30,880
Speaker 1: SEC ball and how Bama's going to find out about

1322
01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:33,400
Speaker 1: SEC ball the next week. And what did Bradley do?

1323
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 1: He walked his happy little stuff in the studio after

1324
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 1: we went off the air and said, Trouble's coming for

1325
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:45,439
Speaker 1: Bama this week. Trouble is coming for Alabama. And so

1326
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:49,240
Speaker 1: I say, Bradley, how much do you believe that? And

1327
01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:51,600
Speaker 1: he said, I believe it. And I put Bradley on

1328
01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 1: the show. I put Bradley on the show the week

1329
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 1: before Alabama went up to Nashville and beat Vanderbilt fifty

1330
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:01,360
Speaker 1: nine to nothing, just beat them into coma body bag

1331
01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:05,240
Speaker 1: a special Sarah McLaughlin Special of the Year, and Bradley

1332
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 1: was never on air again. I learned my lesson. Just

1333
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:11,080
Speaker 1: because someone says something confidently doesn't mean they actually have

1334
01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:13,840
Speaker 1: any clue what they're talking about. Fifty nine to nothing,

1335
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:18,479
Speaker 1: So yeah, I have Well, actually I have two things

1336
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:19,720
Speaker 1: to do here. The first thing I have to do

1337
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:22,519
Speaker 1: is go back to the YouTube page. Secondly, is there

1338
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:25,720
Speaker 1: any Is there any game? Like there was a game

1339
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:28,080
Speaker 1: for me a couple of years ago. We actually took

1340
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 1: the Every Given Saturday Tour up to Manhattan Kansas Oklahoma

1341
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:38,920
Speaker 1: State versus Kansas State, which was at three or three

1342
01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 1: and a half point spread. Kansas State starting quarterback is out,

1343
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 1: and I think that we're about to see a classic.

1344
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 1: I haven't picked Oklahoma State to win the game. I

1345
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:51,479
Speaker 1: think Kansas State won forty eight to nothing. However, at

1346
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:54,519
Speaker 1: that point we had already secured our spot on the show,

1347
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:56,719
Speaker 1: so they couldn't take me off air. But that's about

1348
01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 1: as bad as I've ever whiffed on one. Like you

1349
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 1: think the washing and games last year were bad, No,

1350
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 1: those were close games. I just happened to keep getting

1351
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:09,240
Speaker 1: them wrong. But I got that one way wrong. Also,

1352
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:15,360
Speaker 1: as I've got the page pulled back up here, during

1353
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:17,960
Speaker 1: the season, for those of you who are new, and

1354
01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 1: we've got tens and tens of thousands of you who

1355
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 1: are new, we do something called Friday Night Lines, which

1356
01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:25,679
Speaker 1: feels a lot like what we're doing right now, except

1357
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:27,479
Speaker 1: I won't be in a studio. I'll be in a

1358
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:30,479
Speaker 1: hotel room. And I won't be on cameras. I will

1359
01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:33,280
Speaker 1: be on the eye Josh, and I won't be talking

1360
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:36,280
Speaker 1: about anything that we're talking about here, will just be

1361
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 1: talking about spreads for the next day's games. And what

1362
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 1: I do is, I have the model pulled up, and

1363
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:44,880
Speaker 1: it has all the games, and it has the Vegas number,

1364
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 1: and it has our internal number, and we've won money

1365
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:50,920
Speaker 1: using this thing every year. And so what I'll do

1366
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:53,280
Speaker 1: is I'll have the live chat going, I have the

1367
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:55,880
Speaker 1: model pulled up. We've already had the ram Noodle Express

1368
01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:58,080
Speaker 1: picks for the week, which are our official picks for

1369
01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:00,599
Speaker 1: the week, and those are already established by that time.

1370
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:02,600
Speaker 1: But what I'll do is the games I'm not betting on,

1371
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:04,880
Speaker 1: I still got a number on, and so I'll just

1372
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:06,800
Speaker 1: look at the feed and I'll take your questions for

1373
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:08,920
Speaker 1: about fifteen or twenty minutes, and I'll let you know

1374
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:11,080
Speaker 1: what the model thinks about the games you want to bet.

1375
01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 1: Friday Night Lines is awesome. Management knows nothing about it.

1376
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:17,679
Speaker 1: Management's already in bed by the time Friday Night Lines happens,

1377
01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:21,719
Speaker 1: or are there are several martinis deep at some party

1378
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:24,080
Speaker 1: that we would never get an invite to, And it's

1379
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 1: just it's raw, it's gritty, it's off the grid, and

1380
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:29,479
Speaker 1: yet it's really one of the best things that we

1381
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 1: do around here. When is the Week one stop in

1382
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:38,920
Speaker 1: the tour announced? That's what aj just asked. I think

1383
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 1: in the next two weeks, because I'm going to announce

1384
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:44,719
Speaker 1: the name of the tour very soon, I'll probably announce

1385
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:47,000
Speaker 1: the Week one destination when we announced the tour name.

1386
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:49,479
Speaker 1: I just decided on the tour name two days ago

1387
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:52,200
Speaker 1: and I sent the white Smoke up. You saw it

1388
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 1: if you follow on Twitter at late kick Josh. Where

1389
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:59,360
Speaker 1: can I learn more about Saban's process oriented mindset that

1390
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:03,040
Speaker 1: has been so influential on you and Pate state He's

1391
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:04,760
Speaker 1: got a book called How Good Do You Want to Be?

1392
01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:07,920
Speaker 1: That I thought did a pretty good job in describing it.

1393
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 1: Harold asks advice for not making a girlfriend mad by

1394
01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:16,000
Speaker 1: watching football all day. Well, do your job the other

1395
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 1: six days of the week. Do your job the other

1396
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 1: seven months out of the year. Harold, It's called equity.

1397
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 1: You got to build it up. And also in the

1398
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:31,439
Speaker 1: dating process, this is a filtration process. So honestly, and

1399
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:36,920
Speaker 1: make sure she's not watching Let me give you time, Okay, Look,

1400
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:40,040
Speaker 1: If this is the kind of girl that's going to

1401
01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:44,080
Speaker 1: have you put your best foot forward Sunday through Friday,

1402
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:47,240
Speaker 1: only to then throw something in your face at the

1403
01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:50,640
Speaker 1: last minute Saturday and then play the Classic is Football

1404
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:53,519
Speaker 1: more important than me? Game? Then that's not a game

1405
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 1: you're ever gonna win. So harold you say girlfriend, you

1406
01:12:56,880 --> 01:13:01,160
Speaker 1: didn't say wife. You still have decisions to make, and

1407
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:02,760
Speaker 1: I hope you guys get married and go on to

1408
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 1: live together sixty happy years at least. But if Saturday

1409
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 1: is a problem, then we got a problem. Probably a

1410
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 1: good T shirt idea there as well. Bama's not making

1411
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:17,519
Speaker 1: the National title game. Well, okay, I'll write that down.

1412
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 1: Could I talk about Jacksonville State as Chad, I can

1413
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:23,280
Speaker 1: tell you that producer Jesse thought Jacksonville State was in

1414
01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:25,519
Speaker 1: Florida as of two weeks ago. I can tell you

1415
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:29,679
Speaker 1: that I know Jacksonville State is in Jacksonville, Alabama, because

1416
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:31,519
Speaker 1: there was a tornado a couple of years ago. They

1417
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:34,720
Speaker 1: hit a car dealership. Everyone who lives there knows what

1418
01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:36,800
Speaker 1: I'm talking about, and everyone else has no clue what

1419
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:39,720
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. And it did a ton of damage

1420
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:41,720
Speaker 1: in that car a lot, and we were chasing it.

1421
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:45,559
Speaker 1: That's why I know. So oh man, a lot of

1422
01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:47,800
Speaker 1: fall wedding, A lot of fall wedding talk in the

1423
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 1: chat right now, tell everyone we are Tristan made a

1424
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:56,360
Speaker 1: good point earlier today. I should have had Colin pull

1425
01:13:56,400 --> 01:14:00,439
Speaker 1: the tweet up earlier today. Someone sent me something that

1426
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:03,720
Speaker 1: really jogged my childhood memory. So back in the day.

1427
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:06,000
Speaker 1: I'm not fifty or sixty years old or anything, but

1428
01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:09,080
Speaker 1: I think there was something in my childhood that they

1429
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:12,360
Speaker 1: don't do anymore. I'm pretty sure the scholastic book fair

1430
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:15,760
Speaker 1: would go to Harris County car For Middle School or

1431
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:18,880
Speaker 1: New Mountain Hill Elementary School, where a young JP once

1432
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:20,479
Speaker 1: roam the halls and they would come in there and

1433
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:22,080
Speaker 1: the book fair comes in there, and they have these

1434
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:25,439
Speaker 1: portable shelves that fold out, and it's all the books,

1435
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:28,679
Speaker 1: and it's the pencils, and it's all of the stuff

1436
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:33,040
Speaker 1: that used to excite children. And there was a series

1437
01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:37,160
Speaker 1: called The box Car Children. The entire series of books Goosebumps,

1438
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 1: the Undisputed Goat, but not too far behind, but a

1439
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 1: little more obscure was The box Car Children. And the

1440
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:47,639
Speaker 1: thing about that period of time is you could really

1441
01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:50,160
Speaker 1: get away with pretty much anything in children's literature because

1442
01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:52,800
Speaker 1: it was the wild wild West of children's literature back then.

1443
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:56,479
Speaker 1: The Box Car Children was quite literally a series of

1444
01:14:56,479 --> 01:14:59,760
Speaker 1: books about these feral kids who lived in a box car.

1445
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:03,280
Speaker 1: Where are the adults? We don't know? There are none

1446
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:05,479
Speaker 1: of them on the picture on the cover. It's just

1447
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:09,760
Speaker 1: four kids hopping into a box car, and voila. You've

1448
01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:12,240
Speaker 1: got a recipe for a series of books. And I

1449
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:14,360
Speaker 1: ate every one of them up and I can't say

1450
01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:18,360
Speaker 1: for sure that it didn't have severe unintended consequences on

1451
01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:22,160
Speaker 1: me socially, because I still partake in that activity today

1452
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:25,920
Speaker 1: that those feral children were. But those kids were seeking shelter.

1453
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:29,479
Speaker 1: I'm just seeking a fun Tuesday night when I do it.

1454
01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 1: Box Car Children, anyway. So I put that out earlier

1455
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:35,880
Speaker 1: today on Twitter, and someone asked, should that be the

1456
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:38,479
Speaker 1: name of our student section at PAYT State? And I

1457
01:15:38,479 --> 01:15:42,960
Speaker 1: think the box Car Children copyright notwithstanding, may very well

1458
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:45,400
Speaker 1: be the best idea for a name for our student

1459
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 1: section that I've ever heard in my life. So that's

1460
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:52,280
Speaker 1: a soft yes from me again, pending the licensing, because

1461
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:54,760
Speaker 1: I really I have no idea who would even own

1462
01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:59,040
Speaker 1: the intellectual property of the box Car Children. The box

1463
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:01,680
Speaker 1: Car children themselves have probably long since been lost to

1464
01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:05,800
Speaker 1: the foster care system. But the actual IP kind of

1465
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:08,880
Speaker 1: like the IP of the Southwest Conference, like who owns it? Who?

1466
01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:14,040
Speaker 1: Maybe something we need to look into. Nolan, will I

1467
01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:18,160
Speaker 1: reunite the rivalry with Brandon Walker. The thing about a

1468
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:21,120
Speaker 1: rivalry is the other guy has to win for it

1469
01:16:21,160 --> 01:16:24,000
Speaker 1: to be a rivalry. So I'm not sure I would

1470
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:27,240
Speaker 1: call that a rivalry as much as you know, a

1471
01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 1: loose acquaintance. Although I will say this about Brandon Walker.

1472
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:32,479
Speaker 1: He texted me the other day and he had some

1473
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:35,559
Speaker 1: really good Twisters takes. He fired off about ten or

1474
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:40,240
Speaker 1: fifteen and I either agreed or respected every one of them,

1475
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:44,000
Speaker 1: and that's rare when he fires off a text flurry

1476
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:48,599
Speaker 1: on me. So Brandon Walker temporarily in our good graces here.

1477
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 1: It won't be long though. Best game this season Scuba

1478
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:57,920
Speaker 1: Steve asks, it's tough to look past It's tough to

1479
01:16:57,920 --> 01:17:01,320
Speaker 1: look past Ohio State at Oregon. I think USC at

1480
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 1: Michigan is really sneaky good, just because of the helmets

1481
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:10,240
Speaker 1: and also because of what it could indicate, like Lincoln

1482
01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 1: Riley and in his team that's very unsure of itself upfront, defensively,

1483
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:17,080
Speaker 1: going and playing Michigan. If you're not sure of yourself

1484
01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:20,280
Speaker 1: physically upfront, that's the last place on the face of

1485
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:22,160
Speaker 1: the earth you want to be going to ann Arbor,

1486
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:25,479
Speaker 1: Michigan to face Sharon Moore's team or Jim Harball's team.

1487
01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:28,400
Speaker 1: I don't care whose team Brady Hoke led Michigan would

1488
01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 1: give you trouble if you were shaky on that front,

1489
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:34,760
Speaker 1: Jay said, Am I going to a Georgia game? Yeah?

1490
01:17:34,760 --> 01:17:37,280
Speaker 1: I probably will be. I don't know which one yet,

1491
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:40,280
Speaker 1: but I probably will be. Roger, what's your favorite song

1492
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:43,880
Speaker 1: off Rumors by Fleetwood Mac Dreams. Dreams was their most

1493
01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:46,360
Speaker 1: popular song, but Dreams is my favorite song. It's just

1494
01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:49,760
Speaker 1: a crime against humanity that Silver Springs was not put

1495
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:52,640
Speaker 1: on Rumors a crime. Still the best album in my

1496
01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 1: opinion of all time, and it's missing one of my

1497
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:57,960
Speaker 1: favorite songs ever. Still get mad at it. And I

1498
01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:00,559
Speaker 1: wasn't even born when they put it out. Whens were made.

1499
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:05,040
Speaker 1: I was not even born. Yeah, this is a good

1500
01:18:05,040 --> 01:18:09,240
Speaker 1: point that just got made here. Fsu versus Clemson this year.

1501
01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:12,479
Speaker 1: That's Dju facing his former team. Yeah. I was thinking

1502
01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:16,160
Speaker 1: about that the other day. Am I excited for SummerSlam?

1503
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:21,080
Speaker 1: Kind of? I used to watch pro wrestling all the time.

1504
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:24,400
Speaker 1: I don't so much anymore. I have acknowledged that the

1505
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 1: product has seen a very very noticeable upticking quality lately.

1506
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:34,200
Speaker 1: I am going over to producer Belchie's house Saturday night,

1507
01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:39,760
Speaker 1: and it's a couple's thing. Yes, Summer Slam date Saturday night.

1508
01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:42,840
Speaker 1: Don't know how it's gonna go. May bail out twenty

1509
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:45,880
Speaker 1: minutes in May, stick around for the whole thing. Got

1510
01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 1: to see what's gonna happen with Ria versus left. Got

1511
01:18:48,160 --> 01:18:52,439
Speaker 1: to see it. Am I going to an FSU game?

1512
01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:58,000
Speaker 1: I think so? I think so. Again. We choose where

1513
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:00,599
Speaker 1: we're gonna go six days before the game, so it's

1514
01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:02,960
Speaker 1: not like I lay out, you know, like a concert

1515
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:05,160
Speaker 1: tour schedule or anything. I have some games I think

1516
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:07,479
Speaker 1: will be at more so than others. But yeah, I

1517
01:19:07,479 --> 01:19:09,160
Speaker 1: think we'll be at a Florida State game. I have

1518
01:19:09,280 --> 01:19:12,320
Speaker 1: not been to. I have not been to a home

1519
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:16,200
Speaker 1: game at Florida State since the Clemson game in twenty sixteen,

1520
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 1: whichever one Clemson came in there and won thirty five

1521
01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:21,880
Speaker 1: to thirty one. That's the one I was at. Haven't

1522
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:24,120
Speaker 1: been there since then, and I really want to get back.

1523
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:28,240
Speaker 1: Bud asked about gas station recruiting Wars very very soon.

1524
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:35,440
Speaker 1: I mean we've gas station recruiting Wars has been quiet. Publicly,

1525
01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:39,439
Speaker 1: it's been it's been insane and unhinged behind the scenes,

1526
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:45,320
Speaker 1: because if you're just tuning in, here's what happened we do.

1527
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:48,800
Speaker 1: We do ad sales differently here because we do them ourselves,

1528
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:51,679
Speaker 1: because we actually like to have partnerships. I don't load

1529
01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:53,960
Speaker 1: the show up. We say no by the dozens and

1530
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 1: dozens and dozens to companies that want to give us

1531
01:19:56,360 --> 01:19:58,360
Speaker 1: money to advertise on the show, because I don't want

1532
01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:01,080
Speaker 1: it to look like a stock car. Also, I hate

1533
01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:03,679
Speaker 1: listening to shows that have fifteen ad reads in them,

1534
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:05,360
Speaker 1: so I don't want to make this show like that.

1535
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:08,400
Speaker 1: So what we wanted to do is we built the show,

1536
01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 1: and then we scaled it, and then it did massive

1537
01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:13,800
Speaker 1: numbers because of you guys. And then I wanted to

1538
01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:16,479
Speaker 1: partner with some companies that were basically one of US

1539
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors, one of US FanDuel. The folks

1540
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:23,960
Speaker 1: who came to me from FanDuel knew more about the

1541
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:27,280
Speaker 1: show than I did, so we partnered with them. Well,

1542
01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:31,519
Speaker 1: the recruiting process for the gas station recruiting wars just

1543
01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:34,400
Speaker 1: started with me saying I like all these gas stations,

1544
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:36,920
Speaker 1: we should partner with one, and they all started to

1545
01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:40,760
Speaker 1: recruit us. Thus the gas station Recruiting War commenced in

1546
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:45,400
Speaker 1: the spring of twenty twenty four. So Racetrack was a finalist,

1547
01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:49,240
Speaker 1: Loves was a finalist, Quick Trip was a finalist, and

1548
01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:53,760
Speaker 1: Pilot Flying Jay was a finalist. BUCkies sketch Athlete never

1549
01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 1: even showed their face, and so BUCkies is temporarily dead.

1550
01:20:57,200 --> 01:21:00,559
Speaker 1: To me. Their loss. I think they're still doing okay,

1551
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:04,160
Speaker 1: but their loss. And behind the scenes, we've been meeting

1552
01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:06,360
Speaker 1: with the marketing and sales departments of each of these places.

1553
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:09,040
Speaker 1: And what I have done is I have told them

1554
01:21:10,320 --> 01:21:14,040
Speaker 1: we want free gas the audience. I want to be

1555
01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:16,200
Speaker 1: able to give you guys free gas. That's really the

1556
01:21:16,240 --> 01:21:18,240
Speaker 1: long and short of it. Because as I promised you

1557
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:20,840
Speaker 1: any kind of partnership we enter into, I'm doing it

1558
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:22,920
Speaker 1: with you in mind. So we give out all kinds

1559
01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:25,760
Speaker 1: of Academy gift cards, FanDuel will have all kinds of

1560
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:28,599
Speaker 1: promotions with them. But if we partner with a convenience store,

1561
01:21:28,840 --> 01:21:32,200
Speaker 1: with a gas company chain. We are getting free gas

1562
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:37,680
Speaker 1: out of it. Well, I've got good news, multiple multiple

1563
01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:40,240
Speaker 1: of the final four we're willing to go above and

1564
01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:43,360
Speaker 1: beyond on that front. So now we're in the fine

1565
01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:47,920
Speaker 1: tuned sort of finish line down the stretch process, and

1566
01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:51,160
Speaker 1: it's I think it's wrapped up and you're gonna like

1567
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:53,120
Speaker 1: where we go with that? Is all I'm saying. You're

1568
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:56,200
Speaker 1: gonna like where we go with that? Do I like Creed,

1569
01:21:56,720 --> 01:22:04,240
Speaker 1: Creed Bratton or Creed the band? Either way, it's a yes, yeah, Cody. Look,

1570
01:22:04,280 --> 01:22:06,320
Speaker 1: I wanted Caseyes to come to the table. We're a

1571
01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:10,679
Speaker 1: good breakfast pizza, but we never really heard from him.

1572
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 1: Chad said, gas gas gas. I assume he means petroleum

1573
01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 1: free gas is crazy. No, free gas is a very

1574
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:19,680
Speaker 1: good thing. Okay, look, here's what we have to do

1575
01:22:19,760 --> 01:22:21,439
Speaker 1: because Colin's got to get in bed and he's got

1576
01:22:21,479 --> 01:22:24,280
Speaker 1: to cut the show up. This was fun. I think

1577
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 1: it has potential. I think it has solid potential. So

1578
01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:30,840
