1
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know. We're not supposed to

2
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: favor one show over another. That would be like favoring

3
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: one child over another. We can't do that. But I'm

4
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 1: just saying, I really love tonight show. This one right here.

5
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: It's it's the middle of March, it's a Thursday night.

6
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: Everyone else in the building's on vacation, not us. We

7
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: got a jam pack show where high attop a pulsating

8
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 1: downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Well, because spring is right around the corner,

9
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: which means yes, spring football. We're not quite diving into

10
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: that yet though, although I will have spring intel and

11
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: whispers as we pick up some hoof beats from the

12
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: trail in the coming days. But tonight I need to

13
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: talk to you about something that I haven't spoken to

14
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: you about since the latest news broke on this tip topic,

15
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: and that is that whole fsu Clemson acc. Is it

16
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: going to implode? Are they going anywhere? And apparently a

17
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: lot of my friends, a lot of the people in

18
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: my social circle tend to believe, no, everything's settled now.

19
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: It's not settled, people, It's not settled at all. In fact,

20
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: the same stuff that was going to happen is still

21
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: going to happen. They may have canned down the road

22
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: a little ways, but now it's very clear where we're headed.

23
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: It was a little foggy, a little hazy before that.

24
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: I have a very scientific debate that we need to

25
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: have on the show tonight, extremely scientific. There is no

26
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: more there is no more perfect sample size for college

27
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: football than this audience. Who are the most hated teams

28
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: in this sport right now, not historically, right now, most

29
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: hated teams? And we are divided as a people. I'm

30
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: just telling you. Colin will show you what I mean

31
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: a little bit later, but we are divided. We apparently

32
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: are being misunderstood on arch Manning. I'll address that later.

33
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: I probably one of the the worst misunderstandings that I

34
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: can remember in the modern era of this show. Jesse

35
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: was from one of you who lashed out, and you

36
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: know how rarely I use that phrase, but lashed out

37
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: at an arch Manning take that I never had. But

38
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: we need to address it in case someone does have

39
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: this take, because if you do have the take, I'm

40
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: accused of having not a good thing, and recruiting rankings

41
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: are under attack. So it sounds like a volatile show

42
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: tonight because it is. But it'll be a happy show,

43
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 1: it'll be constructive show, and it'll be one that makes

44
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: you sound a lot smarter around the old college football

45
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: water cooler. In the coming days, they're watching us in Raleigh,

46
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Where else they're watching us in? All right,

47
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: let me gear up for this one. You know what,

48
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: I'll put the Hawaiian city to the end, Alpina, Michigan, Abilene, Texas.

49
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: They're tuned in Copole, Hawaii. Is the best I can do.

50
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys being tuned in out. There was

51
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: in Texas all day yesterday, went from Dallas to College Station,

52
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: to Austin to Nashville. Got here in time to work

53
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: out last night, so a full day. We've got our

54
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: Mike el Co conversation up on the channel right now.

55
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: I will have the ret Lashly conversation up on the

56
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: channel by tomorrow, which is Friday. If you're watching live,

57
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: if you're listening to the replay, it's probably there already

58
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: really good stuff from both of them. We construct these

59
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: conversations on the State Speaker series to where if you're

60
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: a North Dakota State fan or a Michigan State fan

61
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: or a UTSA fan. It appeals to you. We talk

62
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: about stuff that extends well beyond just the parameters of

63
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: that coach's team. Otherwise I wouldn't bother doing it because

64
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: then it would be far too niche and focused an audience. Okay,

65
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: let's dive into the show tonight. I'm gonna pop the

66
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: paper ahead of time. If that's okay with everyone, I'm

67
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: gonna pop a couple of things, the paper and the

68
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: top on a ZVA. I can't have sugar for this segment.

69
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: It's gotta be zero sugar, and that's why we bring

70
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: ZEV along for the ride. You know, ZV has been

71
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: around when we've talked about this next subject for quite

72
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: a while. It looked for a long time like the

73
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: ACC was in peril, did it not. They looked like

74
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: they were in peril to me, And then that was

75
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: kind of confirmed because what did we have. We had

76
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: member institutions in the ACC, namely Florida State and Clemson

77
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: pursuing legal options to try and get out of the conference.

78
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: So don't tell me there was nothing going on when

79
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: there was clearly something going on. Well, lately, the tone

80
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: has shifted. So since you and I last spoke. We

81
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: had several, you know, bits of breaking news the other day.

82
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: It's just a bunch of people being told, okay, you

83
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: can run with it now, and they all have the

84
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: same story, and they run with it. But they have

85
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: settled any active litigation with the ACC, Florida State, Clemson,

86
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: so they're not suing their own conference anymore. They're not

87
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: trying to get out anymore, at least for the time being.

88
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: I'm winking if you're listening on podcasts, and we appreciate

89
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: you if you do, make sure you subscribe. And the

90
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: reason that this kind of de escalated was because it

91
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: went down the only path it go down. So the

92
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: ACC is saying, this looks terrible. Our own kids want

93
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: to sue us and leave. And the kids are like, yeah,

94
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: we're not being fed enough. We're starving. We go to

95
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: school every day and our friends have syrup mustaches all

96
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: over the corners of their mouth. They'd smell like school breakfast.

97
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: But hey, at least they're being fed. We got nothing.

98
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: We're so emaciated. We look terrible. And then the conference said, Okay,

99
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: if you'll just stop threatening to leave home, we'll give

100
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: you a little bit more food than the rest of

101
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: your siblings get That's basically where we're at right now.

102
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: It's just a continuance. It's just deferring, kicking cans down

103
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: the road. But what we've got here, if you haven't

104
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: been paying attention and judging by the traffic these articles

105
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: have gotten, you haven't been. It matters though. That's why

106
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm talking about it on the show. There are brand

107
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: initiatives baked into this sort of new deal in the

108
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,119
Speaker 1: ACC and there are what are called success factors baked

109
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: in as well, a bunch of legal nonsense that essentially

110
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: means if people watch your games a whole lot, you're

111
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: gonna make more money, and if you win more, you're

112
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: gonna make more money. So we're headed towards a little

113
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: bit more of a meritocracy based system, which sounds great.

114
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: But also here is where the rubber meets the road. Yes,

115
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 1: if you're Florida State and you're more popular and you

116
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: get higher viewership, you're gonna make more money here, ditto

117
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: for Clemson or Florida Miami or whoever or whopstever. But

118
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: the important part here is the exit fee, the money

119
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: you'd have to pay to leave the conference drops every

120
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: year and it settles at seventy five million dollars to

121
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: leave the conference in twenty thirty one. Remember that date,

122
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: Remember that year. It's gonna be talked about for the

123
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: next half decade. Twenty thirty one, which seems like it's

124
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: a long way away now, But you remember Joe Burrow

125
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: at LSU. You remember Ed ors Aron, that magical season LSU.

126
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: That was as far in the rearview mirror as twenty

127
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: thirty one is in the windshield. It's not that far away.

128
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: Although I'm not in any hurry to get there, but

129
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: it's not that far away. That's when everything goes kaboom.

130
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: That's when everything could go kaboom. And in the ACC terms,

131
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: that is when everyone could hit the exit door affordably. Again,

132
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: relatively speaking, this is management money we're talking about to

133
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: you and I. Seventy five million, that's a pretty hefty

134
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: chunk of change. But these are management types, okay, so

135
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: they can afford it. What really happened here? Okay, So

136
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: here's what happened. Not much changed, really, it seems like

137
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: a ton changed, but not much changed. The big boys

138
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: in the ACC still no long term, we're not going

139
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: to be able to match with Alabama or Ohio State

140
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: or Southern col or Georgia, because we're not gonna make

141
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,679
Speaker 1: as much money as them now in the short term,

142
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: Florida State and Clemson or Miami or North Carolina. You know,

143
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: whoever's good and popular gotta be both, can't just be one.

144
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: Whoever fits that description in the short term stands to

145
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: make enough to where they can at least be in

146
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: the ballpark. I'm gonna dumb it down because these are

147
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: not exact numbers. But if Tennessee is making, let's just say,

148
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: seventy five million dollars a year for being in the SEC.

149
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: If Michigan, let's just say, is making seventy five million

150
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: for being in the big ten, and Florida State because

151
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: they're a winner and because they're popular, can make sixty

152
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: one million dollars in a year. It's not matching exactly,

153
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: but it's close enough. At that point, you're at least competitive.

154
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: What you can't do is be making half of what

155
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: they make every year and still be expected to compete

156
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: with them. That's what you can't do. Okay, So in

157
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: the short term, yes, as long as you take care

158
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: of your business and you're popular, so You're an established brand,

159
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: so you got the high TV ratings and you got

160
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: the good win loss record, you're making the playoff and whatnot.

161
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: You can make enough money to sustain yourself, but you

162
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: still want to lead long term, you still want to leave.

163
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: I mean, think about that. In that very very simplified scenario.

164
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: Even the best case still has you lagging behind what

165
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: they just get for existing, Like Kentucky gets more money

166
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: for waking up tomorrow morning then you'd get if you

167
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: had the highest viewership in your conference and you won

168
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: a couple of playoff games. So that's still not acceptable

169
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: long term. I mean, Florida State looks in the mirror

170
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: and says, there is no way Vanderbilt should be making

171
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: more than me in the world of college football. And

172
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: you can understand why they'd feel that way. So this

173
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: can you got it just kind of being deferred down

174
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: the road until twenty thirty one. In twenty thirty one,

175
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: why is that so important? Well, I just told you

176
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: from an acc standpoint why it's important because it costs

177
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: the least it would ever cost to get out of

178
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: the conference in twenty thirty one. Remember those numbers being

179
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: thrown around Jesse and Colin. People thought it would take

180
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: like three hundred million, four hundred million if they tried

181
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: to break the grant of rights. This past year, well

182
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: seventy five by comparison, is chump change. So twenty thirty

183
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: one is important because they can get out at that

184
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: point for still a pretty high price tag, but an

185
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: affordable price tag. But why twenty thirty one, Well, it's

186
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: not just a random year. That's why. It's the year

187
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: the Big twelve media rights deal is up. It's the

188
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: year the Big ten media rights deal is up thereabouts,

189
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: It's the year the March Madness TV rights deal is up,

190
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 1: and it's the year the college football playoff rights deal

191
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: is up. The SEC a couple of years after that

192
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: has their deal up with ESPN. The thinking is it's

193
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: basically a waterfall moment for television, for college athletics, for

194
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: media rights in general. And you also have to understand

195
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: hit fast forward another five years on Netflix, hit fast

196
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: forward another five years on any of a number of

197
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: streaming plays. Are they in Are they fully in the

198
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: live event space and the live sporting space to the

199
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: point where they're buying media writes deals in package form

200
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: instead of one off events. My guess is yes they are,

201
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: so there'll be a ton of money available at that point.

202
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: And it's kind of a waterfall moment in the sense

203
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: that if you've ever been canoeing down a river, hopefully

204
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: you've never experienced this. I doubt many of you have

205
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: experienced this, But just paint the picture in your mind.

206
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: Let's go theater of the imagination for a second. If

207
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: you're canoeing down the river, just ho hum, and then

208
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: you see the waterfall up ahead and you can't get

209
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: to the side. What do you know? You know you're

210
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: in trouble, but you don't know how much trouble because

211
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: you don't know how steep the waterfall is. You don't

212
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: know how far the drop will be. You don't really

213
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: know anything about what's beyond the waterfall. You just know

214
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: where it is. Okay, that's the one saving grace. You're

215
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: not blindfolded. You don't have to guess when the drops come,

216
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: and you know twenty thirty one right there, that's where

217
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: the edge of the waterfall is. But beyond that, am

218
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: I gonna survive at period? If I'm wake Forest, I'd

219
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 1: wonder that. If I'm Clemson, I don't wonder if I'm

220
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: gonna survive. I wonder where in the world I'm gonna land,

221
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 1: how much? How much? How healthy am I when I land?

222
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: Do I land in the Big ten? Do I land

223
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: in the waters of the sec Do those brands even

224
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: mean the same thing in twenty thirty one that they

225
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: mean now? So the potential issue, that's bookmark that. Okay,

226
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: turn the page with me for a second, just bookmark

227
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: that point. It sounds good for the time being. If

228
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: you're a major, established brand in the ACC, right, we

229
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: keep mentioning the same ones. If I'm a Florida State fan,

230
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 1: I'm not thrilled, but I'm okay because I know if

231
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: I take care of business on my end, people will

232
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: watch my games and I'll make extra money cause I win.

233
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: And I'm not just trailing behind Florida to the point

234
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: where I can't keep up just because they happen to

235
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 1: have a different Conferences sticker on their helmet than me.

236
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: So I'm okay with it. Not great, but I'm okay

237
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: with it. But that's only if the status quo remains

238
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: the same. So I always tell you, humbly but forcefully,

239
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: you're not wasting your time watching this show A lot

240
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: of you have observed that there are things we say

241
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: on the show. There's some themes, some areas, some roads

242
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: we go down and then you start hearing it elsewhere.

243
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 1: That's a compliment. We're not always first on stuff. We

244
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: don't even fancy ourselves a breaking news show or anything

245
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: like that, but we talk to people constantly. Sometimes it's

246
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: a coach, sometimes it's a conference commissioner, sometimes it's an

247
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: executive at a major network. But we're really informed, or

248
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: try to be on stuff like this. So there's this

249
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: theme that I've noticed a lot of people bouncing around

250
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: this week because there is a potential flaw. There is

251
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: a potential fly in the ointment here for Florida State

252
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: and Clemson. Sure, if everyone keeps making what they're making

253
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: and you can get close to what they're making, then

254
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: that's wonderful and a lot of the advantage they had

255
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: over you has been erased. But if I take you

256
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: back to January, on this very show, we saw this

257
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: coming and I painted one of the first potential downside

258
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: scenarios that could rear its ugly head for the big

259
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: boys in the acc You roll it, Colin, Does anyone

260
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: really think that the bigger brands in the ACC are

261
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: going to be willing to pull this off to where

262
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: they disproportionately benefit through brand initiatives and success initiatives. And

263
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: Georgia is not going to look at that and then

264
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: look at their league office and say, why don't we

265
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: have this? You really don't think Ohio State and Michigan

266
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: look at this and don't look at their league office

267
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: and say, hold up a second, why don't we earn

268
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: more than perdue? They will, and they are. I just

269
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: don't think it's being written about yet, but common sense

270
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: tells me that's coming. I've always been uneasy about this.

271
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: Jamie Pollard's the ad up at Iowa State. He said

272
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: this a while back. He was dead on the money

273
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: and he was kind of tongue in cheek talking about

274
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: how there are people at second and third tier schools

275
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: in the SEC that just pound their chest and blindly

276
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: yell SEC. And he was like, who says you'll always

277
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: be in the SEC? So, now that we've gotten a

278
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: little further down the road, I'll tell you this. I

279
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: wasn't just running my mouth to hear my mouth run.

280
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: I've been accused of doing such things, but I wasn't

281
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: that night. I was telling you that because I was

282
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: hearing even then that was already happening. I don't think

283
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: that's been reported anywhere. I don't think anyone has broken

284
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: that story, and I'm not the one who will break it.

285
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you point blank, conversations along those lines

286
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: have already happened. So it's not theoretical. Florida State clemes

287
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: in a lot of the big boys in the ACC,

288
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: they found a way to tilt their conferences, media rights

289
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: deal in their favor. Thus far, that doesn't exist in

290
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: the Big ten. You kind of earn what you earn.

291
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: In the SEC you kind of earn what you earn.

292
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: And the thinking is everyone's earning so much. Let's pigs

293
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: get fed, hogs get slaughtered, let's not complain. But when

294
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: the Alabamas or the Ohio States of the world look

295
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: at Clemson in Florida State being able to pull that

296
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: off in the ACC, human nature is to look around

297
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: for Ohio State and say, why in the world should

298
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: Northwestern earn what we earn. Human nature is for the

299
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: University of Texas to look around and ask why in

300
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: the world would Vanderbilt earn what we earn? And once

301
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: there's precedent in the room. They can ask that question

302
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: and then follow it up, and they can say, look

303
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: at the acc if you're not picking up what I'm

304
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: putting down, they are. They've already practiced that. So Hey,

305
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: if you're Florida State and you can pull to within

306
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars a year with Florida, that's great. But

307
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: if Florida reworks the whole mechanism in the SEC where

308
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 1: they pull further ahead, well then you're kind of back

309
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: to where you were already. This doesn't really even concern

310
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 1: a lot of us because we don't make that money anyway.

311
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: Twenty thirty one does concern me, though, maybe in a

312
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: bad way, maybe in a good way. That's the nature

313
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 1: of the waterfall. We don't know what comes after it.

314
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: I will say this and this is where we'll leave

315
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: that bookmark because we've got a long time to twenty

316
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: thirty one. Many of you are unhappy with the state

317
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: of college football right now. Many of you, I'm one

318
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: of them, do not like that regionality and territoriality has

319
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: been totally evaporated. The concept of what a conference used

320
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: to be has totally eroded away, and you've got the

321
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: era of the Super Conference and the era of nationalizing conferences.

322
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: In flavor USC and Rutgers playing the same conference, for example,

323
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: I do believe we're headed towards the world where we

324
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 1: have a big Officially, we already have it unofficially, the

325
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: SEC and the Big Ten lap everyone already unofficially but officially.

326
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: Maybe down the road we get to where even in

327
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: twenty twenty when we first started doing this show, I

328
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: told you we were headed. Which is sort of an

329
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: AFC NFC version of college football. Just the AFC's role

330
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: is played by the Big Ten and the NFC's role

331
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: is played by the SEC. That sucks. You hate it,

332
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 1: I know you do. There is one little ray of

333
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,239
Speaker 1: sunshine that I want to present you, and that is

334
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: there's a way everything's made whole again. You know, there

335
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: is a world it's well down the road. So I

336
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: just want to plant this seed. Now, there's a world

337
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: down the road where if you think about if you

338
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: think about college football programs or college athletic departments, I mean,

339
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: they all still exist. It's not like Stanford disappeared. They're

340
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: just in a new conference. It's not like Arizona and

341
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: Arizona State disappeared. They just happened to play in a

342
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: new conference. Well, what if down the road, all of

343
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: that kind of gets collectively swallowed up by two major brands,

344
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: and then someone who has a little common sense about

345
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: themselves or a little bit of appreciation about the history

346
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: of college football and what makes sense for college football

347
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: is in charge by that point, and they look around

348
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: and they say, well, we have all of the assets

349
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: that used to make up the Pac twelve. We've got

350
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: twenty four teams in this conference now, anyway, why don't

351
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: we divide it back up. What I'm basically suggesting is,

352
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: what if we get to a world where the SEC

353
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: and the Big ten gobble up all the major programs

354
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 1: and all the major teams. But then they look and

355
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: they say, we got way too much inventory here. We've

356
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: got to divide this up. What you would call divisions

357
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: in the pro game, we would call conferences in college football.

358
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: What if the Pac ten just comes right on back.

359
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: What if the ACC just comes right on back, or

360
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: what if versions of those conferences just come right on back.

361
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: They're under different ownership, But we don't care about that.

362
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: It doesn't really concern us. What concerns me is I

363
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: want to see regionality matter again. And maybe, just maybe,

364
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: way down the road, we find out that because college

365
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 1: sports got thrown in such a blender, the only way

366
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: to get it back to where we wanted it to

367
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: be aesthetically at least, was for a lot of consolidation

368
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: to happen. There's no guarantee we go that route. You

369
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: know me, I'm very optimistic, and so that's the way

370
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: I want it to go. So why not use the

371
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: microphone to speaking into existence. Academy will be there either way.

372
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: That much, I can pretty much promise you. Academy Sports

373
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: and Outdoors is especially there for you in March because

374
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: March is opening season for a lot of leagues around

375
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: the country. You need a lot of equipment. You need

376
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: a lot of supporting equipment. Supporting equipment would be like

377
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: the lawn chair you sit in while Little Theodore plays

378
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: second base for the rec league team. Believe in recreational leagues, people,

379
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't always have to be travel ball. This is

380
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: not coming from Academy. This is coming from me. The

381
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: state of recreational leagues is in varying states of disarray

382
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: right now. Travel ball is ripping this country apart. Far

383
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: more than politics ever will although I've got something in

384
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 1: the show later that's dividing us more than either entity.

385
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: But anyway, travel ball or rec league, Academy's got you covered.

386
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: One stop shop for all that stuff if you can't

387
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: get there in person. Academy dot Com is a great resource.

388
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: And the reason that I mentioned that is because they

389
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: are the presenting partner of this show. They have been

390
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 1: for a while long time, and we really appreciate them.

391
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: They make sure we can put the show on YouTube,

392
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: we keep the show free, and they've got what you

393
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: need anyway, So check them out. Let's move on, Jesse.

394
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: I told you never to let me talk twenty minutes

395
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: about the ACC. And what do you do tonight? I

396
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 1: lead the show with twenty minutes about the ACC. Okay, well,

397
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: let's just talk about hatred. There's nowhere to go but

398
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: down here, immunity. Let's talk about hatred. I asked a

399
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: question earlier today. It's one of the more healthy questions

400
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: you could ask if you understand college football, and that

401
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: is this, who are the most hated teams in college football?

402
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: Not historically, I mean right now, who does America hate

403
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: the most? I think it's Texas, so I'm gonna tell

404
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: you who my five are. I think Texas is the

405
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: most hated team in college football right now. Well, they

406
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: haven't won a national title, yeah, but they act like

407
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: they have. A lot of Texas folks came at me

408
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: today and they said, we're the most hated, like Texas

409
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: wants to be hated. But then they drop the whole

410
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: they hate us cause the anus. Look, guys, I got

411
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: no problem with Texas. Okay, I myself love going to Texas.

412
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: Not everybody loves you. Guys though I may, but not

413
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: everyone loves you. But let me just inform you. Let

414
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: me be the one to break this news to you.

415
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: When a Texas fan says they hate us cause they

416
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: ain't us, Texas fan is half right there. They do

417
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: hate you. They despise you at a cellular level. I'm

418
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: not always sure it's because they ain't you. Some of

419
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: these folks hate you and would never want to trade

420
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: places with you. Now, look, look, I'm not speaking about myself,

421
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: but I talk to the other fan bases out there. Okay,

422
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,719
Speaker 1: I talk to a gentleman on the street corner in Kyline, Texas.

423
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 1: I made several stops in the state of Texas, this

424
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: past week, and so I got a good healthy sense

425
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: of the flavor of disdain towards Texas and Texas fans

426
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: out there. And it's not always them hating you because

427
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: they can't be you. Sometimes it's just that they hate you.

428
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: And that is very, very evident to me across the country.

429
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: No one's indifferent on Texas, and that's before they've won

430
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: a national championship. So you should always long to be hated.

431
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: If they don't hate you, you're irrelevant. So it's a

432
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: compliment to Sarking Company that they're hated. Texas has always

433
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: carried themselves a certain way societally. They've always been prone

434
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: to look down on you. This is just accurate. If

435
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: you think you're better than someone, that's okay, just admit it.

436
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: Texas fans admit it. At least respect that about you, guys.

437
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: But that causes a lot of folks to hate you.

438
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: What I was gonna say is, imagine if they win

439
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,479
Speaker 1: a national title, Like imagine if they win the SEC.

440
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can get higher than number one,

441
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: but they could push for it. I think Alabama's still

442
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: up there. Nick Saban's gone, but a lot of the

443
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 1: hatred that you developed because of what Alabama has been

444
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: for a long time. It really hasn't gone anywhere I go.

445
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: I see Alabama in person a fair amount. It still

446
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: feels different, even with debor there, still feels different around

447
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: that program than most every other program out there. Now.

448
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: If they were to hang an eight and four season

449
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: this year, folks would love it because it would confirm

450
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 1: in their minds, Okay, we didn't have an Alabama problem.

451
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: We just had a saving problem, and Bama sucked before

452
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 1: he got there, and maybe now that he's gone, they'll

453
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: suck again. America collectively is rooting for this. It's up

454
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: to Alabama to dispel that. But if Bama hangs on

455
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: eleven and one this year, if they're playing in Atlanta,

456
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 1: if they're primed in the middle of the playoff pack,

457
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: well then that is a collective uh oh from the

458
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: rest of the country because uh oh, that Kaitlyn de

459
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: Bor guy turns out he's the real deal. Does that

460
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: mean we're gonna have to deal with Alabama still be

461
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,239
Speaker 1: in Alabama at which point everyone's tired of Alabama at

462
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: Bama fatigue a very real thing. But there's a difference

463
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: I've noticed this. I'm gonna talk about it a little

464
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: bit later. There's a difference in Bama fatigue and like

465
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: the way people feel about Georgia, because I gotta be

466
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: real with you, I'm not ready to show that graphic yet,

467
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: that pole yet, but I don't think folks of you

468
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: Georgia the same way. Maybe you just have to win

469
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: for a decade and a half. You just got to

470
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: beat folks over the head for like ten or fifteen years.

471
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: Maybe that's when they start to hate you. But I

472
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: feel like there's a different level of animosity that people

473
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: around the country feel and have felt towards Bama for

474
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: a long time now. Some of it is a healthy

475
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: amount of respect, but it's also disdained and they built

476
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: it up over a long time. So Obama is still

477
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: absolutely in this even if Saban's gone, Miami's there, and

478
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: Miami hadn't won anything of note postseason wise in some

479
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 1: of your lifetimes. I remind everyone of this weekly because

480
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: I'm proud of it. We've got a massive eighteen to

481
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: thirty four year old audience watching this show. What is

482
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: Miami one of note? What kind of hardware have they

483
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: put in the trophy case since you've been really old

484
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 1: enough to appreciate what college football is not much. They're

485
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: still hated now in our thirty four to fifty year

486
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: old demographic. You were around to understand why Miami was

487
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: originally hated, and you can tell the younger generation stories,

488
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: or they could pop on the two part thirty for

489
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: thirty documentary series about Miami, which I encouraged because the

490
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: makers of that documentary did a really good job on it.

491
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: But I've talked about this before and I'll talk about

492
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: it once more. If you're of the younger generation, I

493
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: appreciate you watching, but you cannot fully appreciate how hated

494
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: Miami was. Miami was a culture shift that wasn't just

495
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 1: a vibe shift in college football. That was a culture

496
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: shift in America. There was a way winning college football

497
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: teams had looked forever, and then there was the way

498
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: Miami looked. And Miami did not look like the vintage

499
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: Nebraska teams had looked or the modern day Nebraska teams looked.

500
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: So a lot of it was cultural, a lot of

501
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: it was racial, a lot I don't really care. He

502
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: mix it all into a pot, and then you put

503
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: icing of athletic competition over that it's okay to have

504
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: hatred me extent. As part of the reason I love sports,

505
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: part of the reason I love football is because it's

506
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: okay to do on the field to someone what you'd

507
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: get arrested for if you did it on the street. Well,

508
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: it's okay in the stands to feel a way about

509
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: your fellow maam that would otherwise be unacceptable if you

510
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: were feeling that way about him in the office place

511
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday afternoon. Miami personified that there were outlets.

512
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: If anything, Miami eighties nineties, Miami kind of served as

513
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: an outlet to where you blew off some steam. Maybe

514
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: your uncle Charlie was yelling some things at the TV

515
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: and with Dowie Alabama that you don't necessarily need to

516
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 1: be yelling at the post office on a Tuesday, But

517
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: Miami let him do that. So God bless uncle Charlie.

518
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: He let it loose in the living room instead of

519
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: at the post office. Why because Warren Sap gave him

520
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: that ability. So thank you Warren Sap, Thank you Miami,

521
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: Thank you Howard Stellenberger and Jimmy Johnson, etc. Well, then

522
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: they kind of faded for a little while, but Miami

523
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: folks didn't forget, and the echoes didn't stop heber rating,

524
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: and every single time, here's what aggravated me. Here's what's

525
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: aggravated me on my upbringing as a college football fan.

526
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: Every time Miami won a game against the top twenty

527
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: five team, some lazy journalist would write the headline is

528
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: the you back? Or even worse, is the swagger back?

529
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: Because what I need is a sports writer from Saint Paul,

530
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: Minnesota using the word swagger in their written lexicon. Well, no,

531
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: that U hasn't been back, at least in my lifetime.

532
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: So then Mario gets hired down there and it's one

533
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: of their own coming back home. And Miami folks started

534
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: to beat their chest because they were sure that they

535
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: had nailed the higher And then everyone who wasn't sure

536
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: they had took the total opposite approach, and we're gonna

537
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: hate on Miami. So what you've developed is you've got

538
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: a program that hasn't won anything of note in a

539
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: long time, that still polarizes the college football public. That

540
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: means they're a prime candidate to be one of the

541
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: most hated teams in college football. Still, every other team

542
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: I've got listed here is one or is like parenially

543
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: top five? Miami not necessarily yet, although they've increased their

544
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: win total every year on the Memorial. Talent rosters look

545
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: better every year on the Memorial. But I'll ask the

546
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: same thing about Miami that i'd ask about Texas. What

547
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: are y'all gonna do if they actually win? What are

548
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: y'all gonna do if they actually win in the playoff

549
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: or god forbid, they can tend for a national championship?

550
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: What would happen? I shudder to think Michigan surprisingly has

551
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: made this list. I don't think if the Stallion stuff

552
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't have happened that they'd be on here. Just to

553
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: be honest, I think the way Michigan went about building

554
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: towards that run they made under Harball and being sort

555
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: of the last version of a great college football program

556
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: where they were never ranked top five in recruiting, but

557
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: they had freshmen that stuck together until they were sophomores,

558
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: stuck together until they were juniors and in seniors, and

559
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: they started and their rival, and then they capped it

560
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: off with a national championship win, and then the head

561
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: coach and the team kind of right off into the

562
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: sunset if it were just that, they wouldn't be hated

563
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: for that. Outside of Columbus Ohio State College, East Lansing,

564
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be hated for that. But then when you

565
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:20,479
Speaker 1: heard the Connor Stallion stuff, whether there's validity to it

566
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: or not, I'm not even here to litigate that. The

567
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: fine folks at NCAA headquarters are doing that as we speak,

568
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: and I'm sure we'll be talking about that more in

569
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: the coming months. But whether all of it's real or

570
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: all of its fantasy, people think what they think about it,

571
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: So your opinion is frozen. It's not gonna change about that.

572
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: I think enough people view it through lenses of skepticism.

573
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: They've come to hate Michigan and then Michigan, not that

574
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: they care that they're on this list, but they do

575
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: themselves no favors getting off this list because they do

576
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: exactly what I would do if I were a Michigan fan.

577
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: Just double barrel, middle finger. We don't care. We won

578
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: the title. Rest you can. You can put in the

579
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: blank anything that you want to. It's a very kid

580
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: friendly show. I want Charlie and Susie to be able

581
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: to listen with Dad on the way to work. Tomorrow morning.

582
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: So I don't necessarily finish the sentence the way that

583
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: our friends up in Michigan probably would finish the sentence.

584
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: But you get the point. So they're hated, but Ohio

585
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: State's also hated. So Ohio State made this list for me.

586
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: The reason I think enough people nationally hate Ohio State

587
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: is because they win, obviously, but also I gather through

588
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: my correspondence with my audience that everyone respected the run

589
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: they just made the playoff, but not everyone respected that

590
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,719
Speaker 1: they lost two games and still got that shot. Like

591
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people viewed Ohio State as this huge

592
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: beneficiary of the new format, which they were. So you know,

593
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: I don't hate them for that, but this isn't about me.

594
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: A lot of you do hate him for that. A

595
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: lot of you hate them because you hear a lot

596
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: of whining when things don't go their way. You say

597
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: the same thing about Bama. By the way, the most

598
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: consistent bits of feedback I got about Ohio State and

599
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: Bama where either they win a game or they got

600
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: fifteen excuses why they lost the game and booms to

601
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: defund it. By the way, my good Ohio State fans

602
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:25,239
Speaker 1: and Bama fans complaining never heard it, never heard of it.

603
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, I put Ohio State up there too. They

604
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: made a run, they won the title. You got folks

605
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: out there, and this is the part of the argument

606
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: I really don't buy into. But there are a bunch

607
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: of folks who say I could win a title if

608
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: I just went and bought a class. Yeah, you couldn't.

609
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: And they didn't in that way, in the way that

610
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: it suggested they didn't. But here's who I didn't put

611
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: on the list. I didn't put Notre Dame up there.

612
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: I don't think Notre Dame's one of the five most

613
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: hated teams in college football right now. I really don't.

614
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: Here's how I can prove that. Do you think that

615
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: America was pulling for Notre Dame or Ohio State in

616
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: the national title game like in a previous generation most

617
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,479
Speaker 1: of the country would have pulled for anyone against Notre Dame.

618
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: I don't think that hatred is there like it used

619
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 1: to be. They're not loved. Don't get me wrong. If

620
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: this was a top ten list, Notre Dame would be

621
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: on it. But I don't get the sense. Marcus Freeman's

622
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 1: a really likable coach. They're not like littered with future

623
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: first round draft picks. They don't load up, they don't

624
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: like vastly overspend in nil to where you look at

625
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,240
Speaker 1: it and you say, I hate that they're abusing the system.

626
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:41,240
Speaker 1: There's none of that vitriol towards them. The whole independence

627
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: tag that they still have on them. It makes the

628
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: older folks a lot more pissed off than it does

629
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: the younger folks. They have not won a national championship

630
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: in this lifetime, so a lot of the reasons people

631
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: used to hate Notre Dame. They're there, but they're the

632
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: volumes turned way down on it. So I didn't put

633
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: them top five. I didn't put USC top five. But

634
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: if if they win this year, they'd enter the top five.

635
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: USC would be more hated than Michigan the moment Lincoln

636
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: Riley made the playoff. So USC's just waiting. They're in

637
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: the on deck circle. They're using the doughnut. Yeah, they're

638
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: still using the doughnut on the bat, they're taking their

639
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: practice swings. And if they go ten and two this

640
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: year they make the playoff, everything that you hated about

641
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: USC will be right back. I long for those days.

642
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: I long for it. Notable in their absence on this

643
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: list is Georgia. So you want to talk science, we're

644
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: a very pro science show. I'll prove it to you.

645
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: I ran a scientific poll earlier today because I was

646
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: starting to put my list together, and I thought, I

647
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 1: think george is the number one program in college football

648
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: right now. I got Kirby Smartest, the number one coach

649
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: in college football right now. Normally a couple of national championships.

650
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: Recently they win every year. That's a recipe for hatred.

651
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,720
Speaker 1: Plus they're in the SEC. That's a recipe for hatred.

652
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: And yet I thought to myself self, is Georgia one

653
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: of the five most hated teams in college football? And

654
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: myself said, no, they're not. I don't know what it is.

655
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: They win a lot, they are just an alpha program.

656
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: They're ultra aggressive in every aspect of football. And yet

657
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: I don't think the hatred's there. So I ran a

658
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: poll and I said, do we feel like Georgia is

659
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: a top five most hated team right now? They tell

660
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: you the country is divided and then point towards politics. No, No,

661
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: the political world pales in comparison to the divide we

662
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: have on the Georgia hatred question. So, as of airtime

663
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: I put this poll out, does Georgia feel like a

664
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: top five most hated team right now? It's fifty one

665
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 1: point four to forty eight point six yes to no.

666
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 1: We got nearly seven thousand votes on that thing, and

667
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: it was in the replies. By the way, I don't

668
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: even know how people found it, but seven thousand of

669
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: you voted on this fifty one to forty nine basically yes, no.

670
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: So the country's totally divided. Well point being, I think

671
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: the other ones. If I put it out there, Jesse

672
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: and Colin, I think sixty plus percent would say yes

673
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 1: on Texas, Yes on Bama, Michigan or Ohio state fifty

674
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: five or higher. I think Miami would be up there. Georgia,

675
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 1: I just don't guess. Congratulations maybe or maybe this is

676
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: a huge slight. This is like the version of a

677
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: couple of years ago where Kirby convinced half his locker

678
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: room someone picked him to go seven to five. Maybe

679
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: he needs to tell them they think you're more cute,

680
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: they think you guys are more adorable than hateable. Maybe

681
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: that's what Georgia needs to go on a run this year.

682
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm with the fifty one percent crowd.

683
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 1: I don't think they're one of the five most hated

684
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 1: teams right now. That's me and that's science you're arguing with.

685
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: So if you disagree, you're disagreeing with me and science.

686
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: You can do one. I don't recommend doing both. Let's

687
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: move on. I have been slandered, and it came in

688
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: the form of a question slash statement. I think this

689
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: is where we are. Yes, that's where we are. Okay,

690
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: John in beautiful Seattle, Washington hit me. He said, I've

691
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: always defended you, but I've been catching up on past

692
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,760
Speaker 1: shows and I heard you compare arch Manning to Temp Tebow.

693
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: How am I supposed to defend this? You're not, John,

694
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: because if I ever compared arch Manning to Temp Tebow

695
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 1: in terms of on field performance or accomplishment, you ought

696
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: to find a new show to watch. Plenty of good

697
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: ones out there. You don't need to be wasting your

698
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: time on a show that's comparing Arch Manning to Temp Tebow,

699
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: because that would, of course be nonsense, that would be foolishness.

700
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: I do have good news. I didn't do it. It

701
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: wasn't me. If there's anything I want you to take

702
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: from this show tonight, it's that it wasn't me. It

703
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: wasn't me, John, what we did the other day, and

704
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: what I think you heard part of I think there

705
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: may have been some ambient noise in the background that

706
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: distracted you. You're prerogative not hating on you. Remember the

707
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,720
Speaker 1: rule around you, Remember me Ma's golden rule. Smart people

708
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 1: do say casual things, John, Casual people rarely say smart things.

709
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: So our audience from Seattle is always among the brightest

710
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: of any major metropolitan city that we get feedback from.

711
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,760
Speaker 1: So I certainly assume that you're a smart guy. John.

712
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 1: That just happened to say a casual thing. Here's what

713
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: happened the other day. What happened was someone asked us

714
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: if Arch Manning is going to be overrated, overhyped, and

715
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: I said, here we go. Let's address it on the

716
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: show because it struck me the same way that the

717
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: t Bau recruitment and the Tebow phenomenon struck me back

718
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 1: in the day. Not in the sense that they've accomplished

719
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 1: the same thing on the field. Arch hasn't played. He's

720
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: hardly played. Tebo comes out of high school. If you

721
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: weren't around for this. It was wild. This was when

722
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: like a young, young version of me first started really

723
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: falling in love with recruiting. Was like the Tebow recruitment.

724
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: The Tebow recruitment was a recruitment that captivated the non

725
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: recruiting fan. To give you an idea of how big

726
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: a deal it was. So he's from nice high school,

727
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: he's a five star quarterback, his high school games are

728
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: being broadcast on TV when that wasn't a popular thing

729
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 1: to have happened. And he's down to Florida or Alabama.

730
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: One of the biggest what ifs in the history of

731
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: mankind is what if Tebow commits to Alabama. Mike Schuler

732
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: probably wins enough to where he doesn't get fired. Sabin

733
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: probably still wants to leave the NFL after a couple

734
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: of years. Where does he go? He didn't go to Alabama,

735
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 1: so where does he go? So anyway, it didn't happen

736
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: that way. Tebo commits to Urban Meyer. He ends up

737
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: being everything and then some that you could have ever expected. However,

738
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,280
Speaker 1: a lot of folks viewed him as a villain. Folks

739
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: didn't like Tim Tebow. And I said on the show

740
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: the other day, the same thing I said when the

741
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: guy asked me if I thought arch Manning was being overhyped,

742
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: I said, what are you hating on arch Manning for?

743
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: Because the spirit of the question I got asked was

744
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: like anger towards arch Manning. I don't like arch Manning.

745
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: He's being overhyped. Well, you may be half right there.

746
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: He may be overhyped. He hadn't done anything yet. But

747
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: maybe he's a total bust and he was overhyped. How's

748
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,280
Speaker 1: that his fault? He's not the one who hyped himself.

749
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 1: Arch Manning hasn't written a single headline about himself. And

750
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: I used to say the same thing about Tebow because

751
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,280
Speaker 1: I grew up in Georgia, so obviously Tebo's playing for Florida,

752
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 1: so people already root against Florida in my home state,

753
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: and so they really hated Tebow. But a lot of

754
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 1: my buddies started saying, I hate Tebow, not I hate Florida,

755
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: And I'm like, what do you hate him for? Oh,

756
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: because he's so overhyped? Well, who's hyping him? Go hate

757
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: on the guys who write for the newspaper in Jacksonville.

758
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: Go hate on the guys at ESPN. They're the ones

759
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 1: hyping him was not voting himself First Team All American.

760
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 1: TIBO didn't vote himself Heisman. TBO never wrote a headline

761
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: about himself. Arch Manning's the same way now here is

762
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 1: here's the difference, A couple of differences. I don't think

763
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: anyone can command the kind of attention that Tebou did. Again,

764
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 1: just like a generation prior to that, couple of generations

765
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: prior to that, you had TV shows in the seventies.

766
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: This is just fascinating. If you're nineteen years old on

767
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: the campus of Iowa right now and you want to

768
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: blow your mind, go look at the viewership. Some of

769
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: the shows in the seventies used to do a random

770
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 1: show like mash some of the episodes of Dallas. Go

771
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,760
Speaker 1: look at how many people watched the shows. Tens of millions,

772
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 1: thirty million people, forty million people, not collectively over a season.

773
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: They're watching that one episode on that one night. The

774
00:42:55,080 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: reason is because there wasn't anything else to watch. Society

775
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: wasn't fragmented. You didn't have Internet, there was no social media.

776
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 1: So Tebo comes along, and even though yes you do

777
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 1: have Internet, social media is still in its very infancy

778
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: and relative to today, it was a lot easier for the

779
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: entire college football public or the entire sporting public to

780
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: focus its gaze on one thing that doesn't happen so

781
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: much anymore. Just like in the world of TV, if

782
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: CBS puts a show on in prime time and it

783
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: gets eight million viewers, that's an insanely huge number. There

784
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: were shows that would have been airing that got five

785
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: times that viewership back in the day. And I feel

786
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: the same way about arch Manning. I don't think the

787
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: hysteria around arch Manning, even at its peak whenever that is,

788
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: will match what tebo mania was. But relative to today's standards, yeah,

789
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: it could get ridiculous, but it's not his fault. So

790
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: that was the comparison that I did between Manning and Tebow,

791
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 1: and then one other thing that I hope doesn't happen,

792
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: but it could happen. Tebow was rated five stars, tibo

793
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: is the number one player in the country. But he

794
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 1: panned out. He validated all that. He ended up being

795
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 1: the best player in the country. He won the Heisman Trophy,

796
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: won national championship, so he was everything he was expected

797
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: to be, and he was expected to be a lot

798
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: We don't know how the story ends with arch Manning.

799
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,280
Speaker 1: You don't know if he's going to end up being anything.

800
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: He'll be the starting quarterback of Texas this year, He'll

801
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: be putting the best position anyone in the country has

802
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,240
Speaker 1: put in, but he still got it to do. Tibo

803
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: fulfilled on the hype, so no one could really call

804
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: him a bust. But if arch Manning doesn't become the

805
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 1: best player in the country, you'll have people call him

806
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 1: a bust. And this is really what drives me crazy

807
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: about rankings, culture, headline, culture, whatever. If I rank arch

808
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: Manning as the number one player in the country, if

809
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: I vote him First Team All American, if I create

810
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: the hype and he doesn't live up to it, that's

811
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: not on him, that's on me. But you never see that,

812
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 1: do you. You never see someone blame themselves or call

813
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: themselves an idiot. It's a lot easier for somebody, whether

814
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: it be on the Internet or whether it be in

815
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 1: a podcast or on TV or whatnot. It's a lot

816
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: easier for him to hype a guy up he doesn't

817
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: fulfill their expectation level, and instead of calling themselves idiots

818
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 1: and saying I'm stupid, for over hyping him. You just

819
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: trashed the kid arch Manning. What a bust? He was

820
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:44,720
Speaker 1: so overhyped? Well, who hyped him a bust? According to what? So? Yeah,

821
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,439
Speaker 1: that is what I'll be watching with arch Manning. Let's

822
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: move along. Another controversy here. We have another controversy on

823
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: our hands. Not really because this is pretty easy to

824
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: see through, but Colin, so I want you to keep

825
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: this on the screen here. Okay, don't worry. If you're

826
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 1: listening on podcasts, I'll explain it after I take a

827
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: jug of Public's water. This is the good stuff right here.

828
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: We've had this probably about three times in the history

829
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:19,439
Speaker 1: of the show. We've had to go down this road.

830
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: I got to do it again. So things got sideways

831
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: with me and one of you. Today one of our

832
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: age old debates on the show kind of resurfaced, and

833
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 1: it was about star ratings. So you know, in college

834
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: football recruiting, we have followed star ratings and star rankings

835
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,800
Speaker 1: and class rankings forever. I love it. It's highly addictive.

836
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: It's what first drew me to college football. Believe it

837
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: or not. I was drawn to the recruiting aspect of

838
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: it almost as much as I was the on the

839
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:50,720
Speaker 1: field play. So I was talking about some stuff today

840
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: and one of you came at me and you were

841
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: saying a recruiting rankings or a total grift. They're overrated,

842
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,720
Speaker 1: they're not what they claim to be. And I said,

843
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: why is that? Why do you say that. Here's how

844
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: the person responded. He said, you don't pay attention. I

845
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: coached high school. I've got some kids in the pros.

846
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 1: A player could be ranked eighty seven, but then a

847
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:17,240
Speaker 1: certain school shows interest or makes an offer in the ranking,

848
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: even in February, no games being played, nothing else changes.

849
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: It goes from eighty seven to ninety five, and the

850
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 1: inverse happens. He meant to say inverse, I assume a

851
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: player maybe ninety three, but then he signs with the

852
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 1: school not paying the grifters, and the score drops immediately.

853
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 1: So if you pay to go to the camps, give

854
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: the free advertising, your score goes up. The high school

855
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: rating system is one big grift. A lot of anecdotal

856
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 1: evidence got presented there, so it's very easy to deliver that.

857
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: It's very easy to say, hey, I knew of a

858
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 1: kid one time who was two stars and he was

859
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: a first round draft pick. Played twelve years in the league,

860
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:56,959
Speaker 1: three different teams. He's in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

861
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 1: That proves recruiting rankings were a joke. No, it does,

862
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: just like if a five star doesn't pan out, it

863
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: also doesn't prove anything other than recruiting rankings aren't infallible.

864
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, they never claim to be. You

865
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: point out those anecdotal examples, and all you prove is

866
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: the system is imperfect, but it never claimed to be.

867
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 1: In fact, a recruiting star ranking never even claimed to

868
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: be the entire picture on a player. A recruiting ranking

869
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:33,760
Speaker 1: is basically a raw talent based measurement, the best quantifiable

870
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 1: thing you can put on a kid at a time.

871
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 1: It's the best measure we have in our society of

872
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: trying to gauge how good a kid is, how he projects.

873
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: It's not imperfect, you know how. I know that. In

874
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: this building that I do this show out of, it's

875
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: also the home of twenty four to seven sports, So

876
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 1: I am CO. I like I share a building with

877
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 1: those guys. I talk to them about this stuff. They're

878
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 1: the last ones to say, yeah, we nail every single

879
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: every single recruitment. Take it to the bank. But I'll

880
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: tell you what. They don't do what that guy said,

881
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 1: they don't do that. That's not how it works. But

882
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 1: you don't have to take my word for it. I

883
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: would just say, if you want to present evidence to

884
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 1: the contrary, don't give me anecdotal examples. Bring me clusters, like,

885
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 1: bring me huge batches of evidence, because if what you're

886
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 1: saying is true and the entire thing is a joke,

887
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: it'll be pretty easy to see through. The evidence will

888
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 1: be pretty easy to find. So Colin, do me a favor.

889
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: Throw up the graphic one more time, Throw up the

890
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:37,879
Speaker 1: question one more time. My bad, not that one. Keep

891
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 1: this one up, Keep this one up. That's fine. So

892
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 1: if let's just say, for the sake of argument, the

893
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 1: whole recruiting process was a sham, and it was just

894
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 1: an industry built to prop up certain schools or built

895
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 1: to prop up certain camps, and you know, it was

896
00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: really really corrupted, like the seven on seven scene is

897
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 1: viewed as corrupted. Let's say the recruiting industry was really that,

898
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: and kids were being given fifth stars for everything other

899
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: than how good they were, or they were being denied

900
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,240
Speaker 1: their fourth or fifth star because they didn't play the game,

901
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: so to speak. Well, if that was the case, if

902
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 1: the recruiting star ranking process was really corrupted on the

903
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,399
Speaker 1: front end, you would know it on the back end,

904
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 1: because while you can sit here even though you're wrong,

905
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: you can sit here and have the opinion that all

906
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: those guys at twenty four to seven sports, when they

907
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: assign those star rankings, they're on the take. That's just

908
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 1: a grift. It's built to prop up an industry that's

909
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: built to serve one brand at the expense of another,

910
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:47,760
Speaker 1: and the kids are just the victims caught in the middle.

911
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 1: You can believe that, but I doubt you believe NFL

912
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 1: scouts and general managers are caught up in it too.

913
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,399
Speaker 1: I assume you look at those guys, and while they're

914
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 1: not infallible either, you probably look at the NFL process

915
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 1: and say, now, those guys their job is to get

916
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 1: it right, and they got to have the best talent

917
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: evaluators in the world tasked with getting it right, or

918
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:12,399
Speaker 1: they know they're going to lose their job, they're gonna

919
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: get fired. Do you at least think that about the

920
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 1: NFL side of it. Okay, So then we can reasonably

921
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 1: assume that if there's a lot of corruption on the

922
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,479
Speaker 1: front end the high school star rating system. In other words,

923
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:31,280
Speaker 1: it'll be exposed eventually. With that in mind, I invite

924
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 1: you to look at your screen right now. Keep in

925
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:37,439
Speaker 1: mind four star, five star. The allegation is it doesn't

926
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 1: really mean anything. It's all politics. The last three NFL drafts,

927
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 1: sixty five of ninety six first round picks were former

928
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,959
Speaker 1: Blue Chippers, former four and five star players. Now here's

929
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: how wild that is. How wild that is is if

930
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: you go back to the twenty twenty class, you know,

931
00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: the last full recruiting class before last year's draft, if

932
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,919
Speaker 1: you were a five star recruit, you ended up being

933
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: nine times more likely to go first round than a

934
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: four star recruit. If you were a five star recruit,

935
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 1: you were eighty five times more likely to go first

936
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 1: round than a three star recruit. And that's despite the

937
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 1: fact that they're only thirty two of them in each class.

938
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 1: So either the NFL's in on the grift too, or

939
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: it's not really a grift. These guys may just halfway

940
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: know what they're looking at and they may just want

941
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 1: to get it right. I know, because I know who

942
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 1: we're talking about. I have the unfair advantage of knowing

943
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: these dudes personally, and trust me, it would bring me

944
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: great joy to call them out on air if they

945
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: were corrupted. But they're not. I guess Unfortunately they're not.

946
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: Old Tom Lloyd, Old Cooper, Petagona, Andrew Ivans, all the

947
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 1: guys out on the West Coast. We got a bunch

948
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 1: of them. I don't want to start naming names because

949
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:58,360
Speaker 1: I forget them. I regret to inform you. They're pretty

950
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 1: stand up dudes. And if if they weren't, the back

951
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 1: end would expose them immunity to that all the NFL

952
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,760
Speaker 1: Draft would expose it instead. Here's what the NFL draft

953
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:12,840
Speaker 1: is telling us. Recruiting rankings have never been more deadly

954
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 1: accurate than they are. Now. That's not to say they're perfect.

955
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: They'll never be perfect. Here's the other thing you can't

956
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 1: account for. This is why you got to take a

957
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 1: recruiting ranking for what it is, which is a raw

958
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 1: talent based measurement of a guy. Well, what if I

959
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: blow up as a sophomore in college. What if my

960
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 1: physical development just comes later? I was probably a two

961
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: star coming out of high school. The old JJ Watt theory.

962
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 1: JJ Watt goes on to be one of the best

963
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 1: of all time. He wasn't five stars coming out of

964
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:44,319
Speaker 1: high school. Did the recruiting industry with on him? No,

965
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:48,320
Speaker 1: he wasn't JJ watt at that point. Or on the

966
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 1: other hand, Denver Harris's former five star kid comes out

967
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,839
Speaker 1: of high school, doesn't have his head on straight, completely

968
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 1: flames out at the college level. Is that an evaluation with? No,

969
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: These guys don't get players on a psychiatric couch like,

970
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 1: they don't get to do brain scans on them. They

971
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 1: don't know what they are ethically or morally. They have

972
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 1: no idea what their injury future may be. So a

973
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 1: recruiting ranking is basically three fifths maybe four fifths of

974
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 1: what it's ultimately gonna take to pan out in college.

975
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: And if you take it for that, then you'll see,

976
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 1: I'm this piece of paper right here. You brought anecdotal examples, man,

977
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: I got mountains of evidence to the contrary that says

978
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: recruiting rankings have never been more accurate. It's never been

979
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 1: a more refined process than it is now. That's not

980
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:41,720
Speaker 1: as fun. You know, if you want to go conspiratorial,

981
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: that's probably not gonna wet your whistle as much. As

982
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:49,280
Speaker 1: the alternative, but it's true. It's true as is Quick Trip.

983
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 1: I was at a Quick Trip in Palestine, Texas yesterday,

984
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: and I was gonna take my usual picture outside, but

985
00:54:57,600 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 1: they were like forty five to fifty mile an hour

986
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:02,840
Speaker 1: wins and there was dust in the air everywhere, and honestly,

987
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was going to do service to

988
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 1: the otherwise picturesque town of Palestine, Texas, So I didn't

989
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 1: take the picture. But you can rest assure if I

990
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 1: was out in Texas, the home of a certain other

991
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 1: unmentionable convenience store chain, I was finding my way to

992
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: Quick Trip. They are the exclusive fuel provider for the show.

993
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: They've been fueling us all spring as we've been on

994
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 1: the road, and we have several more stops coming up

995
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 1: in the Pate State Speaker series. Not to mention we

996
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,719
Speaker 1: got an entire fall tour coming up. But we appreciate

997
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 1: Quick Trip, appreciate them immensely. Let's move on since we're

998
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 1: already out in that part of the country. I didn't

999
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 1: want to hit you with this right quick. This has

1000
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 1: been a very popular segment we've been doing. We've been

1001
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:51,239
Speaker 1: looking at the schedules for all the conferences because we

1002
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 1: already have our strength of schedule ratings in house. We

1003
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 1: got them done. We pressed crunch and it's done. We

1004
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,240
Speaker 1: got some winners and losers here. Like in the Big Twelve,

1005
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: it's a wildlife landscape in the conference because we were

1006
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 1: trying not to compare them to the SEC Like. No,

1007
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 1: the average strength of schedule in the Big Twelve is

1008
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 1: not comparable to that of Florida or Oklahoma. But that's

1009
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 1: okay because it can still be a highly entertaining conference.

1010
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,359
Speaker 1: You just you have to take it for what it is.

1011
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 1: There's no Big Twelve team in the top twenty playoff

1012
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,840
Speaker 1: odds at FanDuel right now, but they're all virtually equal.

1013
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 1: So that makes for a highly entertaining conference. And in

1014
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 1: terms of strength of schedule, it makes it almost impossible

1015
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 1: to separate these teams, but we try it anyway. So

1016
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: here's what I will tell you. We think Brigham Young

1017
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 1: has the easiest schedule and power for this year. That's

1018
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 1: what we have right now. We can adjust this, but

1019
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 1: it's not gonna adjust much. Brigham Young has got a

1020
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 1: great draw this year. They don't play a single Tier

1021
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: one opponent, they don't play a single Tier two opponent.

1022
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 1: They only play two Tier three opponents. There is no

1023
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 1: back to back road game on their schedule. Texas texts

1024
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 1: their toughest game I think, and Texas Tech will be

1025
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:05,799
Speaker 1: playing them as their sixth consecutive game. Brigham Young will

1026
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 1: be off a bye, so they got a plus six

1027
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:13,359
Speaker 1: game rest advantage there. So it's great draw. Great draw

1028
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 1: for Brigham Young, I think. Also Texas techa winner. Even

1029
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 1: though I just mentioned that scheduling spot. They don't play

1030
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 1: a single Tier one team. They got five games between

1031
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 1: Tier two and Tier four, but they play seven games

1032
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 1: against teams we have rated tier five or lower. To

1033
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 1: give you an idea of the quality of team we're

1034
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 1: talking about there. The worst two teams in the SEC

1035
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 1: are Tier five. Texas Tech plays seven games against teams

1036
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 1: that caliber or worse in a preseason rating. They also,

1037
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: if you'll look at the very end of their schedule,

1038
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 1: if Texas Tech is in the Big twelve title game,

1039
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 1: which means you know they're in the playoff picture. But

1040
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 1: if they're in the Big twelve title game, look at

1041
00:57:56,600 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 1: what they'd have. They have a bye in West Virginia,

1042
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 1: then the conference title game. They've got the latest buy

1043
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 1: in the conference. I think one other team has a

1044
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 1: buy the second to last week of the season. Huge

1045
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 1: advantage if you can make it to the conference title game.

1046
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 1: One of the losers in the Big Twelve scheduling wise,

1047
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: I think is TCU. A lot of it has to

1048
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 1: do with out of conference though, So TCU plays Bill Belichick.

1049
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: They go to North Carolina to open the season. They

1050
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: also play SMU out of conference. They play three of

1051
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:30,959
Speaker 1: the top five teams in the Big Twelve in terms

1052
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 1: of odds on the road, so they sixty percent of

1053
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 1: those teams that are the top of the conference and

1054
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:39,439
Speaker 1: the FanDuel odds, they play them on the road. They've

1055
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 1: got an early buye too. They play one game and

1056
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 1: then they got a buy which is not ideal, and

1057
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:46,959
Speaker 1: then they play seven straight games after that. I also

1058
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 1: think one of the other scheduling losers is Baylor, but

1059
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 1: that's really cause of out of conference. Baylor opens against Auburn.

1060
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 1: It's a really random game. They play them at home.

1061
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: Auburn open their season in Waco, Texas. Woms to the

1062
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 1: funk it right. They play Auburn, then they go to SMU,

1063
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 1: and that's a couple of big time out of conference games. Now.

1064
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 1: The good news is that doesn't matter in conference play

1065
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 1: two and zero zero to two, it doesn't matter. But

1066
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: they do face the top two teams in the Big

1067
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 1: Twelve as well, and they open with a six game stretch,

1068
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 1: So that's kind of It depends on what your preference is.

1069
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 1: Some teams want to play a bulk of their games

1070
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 1: together early because they're the healthiest they'll be. So yeah,

1071
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 1: there's some winners and losers there in the Big Twelve.

1072
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 1: Let's move it along. They're watching us in Point Pleasant,

1073
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: West Virginia, Tulsa, Oklahoma, Hattiesburg, Mississippi. By the way, our

1074
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 1: friends out in Tulsa. I I haven't gone out on

1075
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: the road storm chasing yet this year. I think that

1076
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 1: may change next week. The state legislature in Oklahoma is

1077
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 1: humiliating themselves right now over a storm chasing bill. Local

1078
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 1: news in and especially the Oklahoma City Metro is humiliating

1079
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 1: themselves right now over a storm chasing bill. And I

1080
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 1: don't want to get into the particulars because this is

1081
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 1: a college football show, but I am a stormchaser by hobby,

1082
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: and so I don't know what kind of weight this

1083
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 1: microphone has here in the Oklahoma political scene, and I

1084
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: don't ever want to use it that way, but my goodness,

1085
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 1: but how in the world has storm chasing become a

1086
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 1: political issue in Oklahoma? So just want to say I'm

1087
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 1: keeping both eyes on it. Don't make us come out there.

1088
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 1: Come on now, let's get things straight. Florida and Billy

1089
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 1: Napier on the radar right now, not the Doppler, just

1090
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 1: the normal. Kenneth hit me up from Concord, New Hampshire,

1091
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 1: no less, second person from New Hampshire I've talked to today.

1092
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:48,919
Speaker 1: What a record, he said. How much of a chance

1093
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: does Florida have at winning the SEC or making the

1094
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 1: playoffs in twenty twenty five? A decent chance. We know

1095
01:00:57,160 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 1: the story about the schedule? Do we know the story?

1096
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 1: They had the number one strength of schedule in the

1097
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:04,480
Speaker 1: country last year. It doesn't change much. They got the

1098
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:06,439
Speaker 1: number two strength of schedule in the country this year.

1099
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 1: If you want a very very quick, just one liner

1100
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:16,200
Speaker 1: anecdote for how terrible Florida got shafted again in strength

1101
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: to schedule. If you look at the odds to win

1102
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 1: a national title at FanDuel right now, Florida plays seven

1103
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 1: of the top fourteen teams. The casuals will tell you, eh,

1104
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 1: you are what your record says you are. A win's

1105
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 1: a win, a loss is a loss. Garbage. You need

1106
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 1: to go sit by the garbage. If you're looking at

1107
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 1: Brigham Young's schedule and you're looking at Florida's schedule and

1108
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 1: you think they're playing the same sport, they're not. There's

1109
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 1: uncertainty everywhere at quarterback in the SEC though. Now that's

1110
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 1: the good news for Florida because they have certainty. So

1111
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 1: if DJ Lagway just goes off, they may have the

1112
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the conference. Who are we talking about

1113
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 1: there Sellers at South Carolina, nus Meyer at LSU. Outside

1114
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 1: of that, where's the certainty. There isn't any So maybe,

1115
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 1: you know, maybe, just maybe DJ Lagway becomes a bona

1116
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 1: fide national star this year and you got the EDGIC

1117
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 1: quarterback because I'll tell you this, there is not roster

1118
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 1: disadvantage at Florida anymore. They have. Here are all the

1119
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 1: reasons I like Florida. So there are a ton of

1120
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:26,920
Speaker 1: reasons to like Florida coming into this year. The schedule sucks,

1121
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:31,920
Speaker 1: but that offensive line returns five thousand snaps from four starters.

1122
01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 1: Dj Lagway last year, blows up at quarterback true freshman

1123
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 1: Jaden Bought blows up at running back true freshman. I

1124
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 1: got a really dependable offensive line. I got a dependable

1125
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 1: ground game. I've got an emerging star at quarterback. I

1126
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 1: got three straight top fifteen recruiting classes and three straight

1127
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: top twenty portal classes that are baked in that roster.

1128
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:57,479
Speaker 1: I got twenty different underclassmen coming back for me who

1129
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 1: played two hundred plus snaps last year. That was the

1130
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 1: second most in FBS. I got a ton of experience.

1131
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,760
Speaker 1: Now I've got four starters back in the secondary. I

1132
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 1: got the chance to be elite at the linebacker position.

1133
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 1: There's a lot to like. If I did nothing more

1134
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 1: then give Florida Tennessee schedule, Florida would be one of

1135
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 1: the favorites to win this conference the upcoming year. I

1136
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 1: am telling you that you're looking at the odds right now.

1137
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 1: If you're watching on YouTube, Colin is showing you the

1138
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 1: FanDuel odds right now. That is a huge, huge asterisk

1139
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 1: by Florida. They're plus thirty three hundred two four six eight.

1140
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:35,600
Speaker 1: They've got the tenth best odds to win the conference.

1141
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 1: That is a product of scheduling. That is a product

1142
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:44,640
Speaker 1: of scheduling, because that is one of the higher upside

1143
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 1: teams in college football. This year. There are no guarantees.

1144
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 1: They're not even through spring practice yet, they're no guarantees.

1145
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 1: But Napier it looked for all the world like he

1146
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:55,200
Speaker 1: was gonna lose his job in the middle of last year,

1147
01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 1: and he didn't, and they finished hot, and he messed

1148
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 1: around and bought himself enough time down there to where

1149
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 1: now they get to go into a season and it

1150
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like they're disadvantaged anymore. The only disadvantage is

1151
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 1: an external factor, and that's the schedule. But the stuff

1152
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 1: they can control, it has not felt in quite a

1153
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:18,240
Speaker 1: while like Florida has that as in order as it

1154
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: feels like they have it right now. That's why we'll

1155
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 1: play the games this fall. We showed you those odds.

1156
01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 1: You know where you can get those? Does anyone know

1157
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:30,080
Speaker 1: you can get them at FanDuel. FanDuel been doing some

1158
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:34,680
Speaker 1: big things, big things. Our neighbors down the road, Taylor Luwan,

1159
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 1: Will Compton, huge deal with FanDuel. I would say, welcome

1160
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:41,640
Speaker 1: to the family, but they've already been here. But whoo man,

1161
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 1: imagine not being aligned with FanDuel. Couldn't be us, the

1168
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:04,439
Speaker 1: bet them at plus thirty three hundred. I'd be lying

1169
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:07,280
Speaker 1: if I said I hadn't bought a little Florida a little,

1170
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:12,040
Speaker 1: a little. My self imposed limits are pretty low on

1171
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 1: that sort of thing this time of year. But we

1172
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:16,560

1189
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:22,760
Speaker 1: something along the lines of what we did the other day.

1190
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 1: So I'm not going to show a name because I

1191
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:27,600
Speaker 1: want to encourage you guys to reach out on this

1192
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 1: and seek whatever it is you're seeking. The past tense

1193
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 1: of that would be psych. So if you have psych already,

1194
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:38,240
Speaker 1: then lay out and let someone else have a term.

1195
01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:42,040
Speaker 1: But as I said for the nineteenth time this month,

1196
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 1: as you know, we got a really big sort of

1197
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:49,560
Speaker 1: high school college age audience, like a listenership and a

1198
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:53,800
Speaker 1: viewer base, and occasionally you guys will reach out for

1199
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 1: some feedback, some advice. So I had one of you.

1200
01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna read what he wrote out paraphrasing, and

1201
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 1: he said he's kind of being taken advantage of at work.

1202
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 1: He's being paid too little to do too much. Should

1203
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:07,720
Speaker 1: he quit? Should he quit? Now? The reason I'm reading

1204
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:09,760
Speaker 1: this on airs because I know fifty million of you

1205
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:13,120
Speaker 1: are facing the same situation right now. So here's some

1206
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 1: friendly advice from someone who's been there. Firstly, don't burn

1207
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 1: a bridge. It sounds so great. Everyone glorifies these stories

1208
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 1: of torching the barn on their way out, and you notice,

1209
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 1: normally it's not the most successful people you've ever been

1210
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 1: around telling those stories. The ones who are successful in

1211
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:35,920
Speaker 1: the end are the ones who may very well have

1212
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 1: needed a relationship later down the road that most other

1213
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 1: people in their position would have burned. So yeah, it's

1214
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 1: great to tell someone what you think of and then

1215
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 1: walk out the door. You just never can fully appreciate

1216
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:51,920
Speaker 1: how small the world is when you're twenty years old,

1217
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 1: which is how old this person is who just wrote

1218
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 1: this to me. So don't burn the bridge, no matter

1219
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:57,480
Speaker 1: how hard it is, no matter how bad it is

1220
01:07:57,560 --> 01:08:00,800
Speaker 1: right now, don't burn the bridge. Second second thing I

1221
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:04,920
Speaker 1: would say is the most valuable commodities on your time

1222
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:08,000
Speaker 1: or on your side, I guess time is on your side.

1223
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 1: So I know it sucks knowing that you're twenty years

1224
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:15,720
Speaker 1: old and you have your whole life ahead of you.

1225
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 1: God willing doesn't change the fact that if it's three

1226
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 1: point thirty on a Wednesday afternoon and you are really,

1227
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:25,600
Speaker 1: really down, it doesn't make you feel better. I know

1228
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:27,559
Speaker 1: it doesn't. But in the grand scheme of things, in

1229
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:31,120
Speaker 1: the drive home, just ask yourself, would you rather be

1230
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:33,559
Speaker 1: at a decent job and be fifty nine years old

1231
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:35,960
Speaker 1: or would you rather be a terrible job and be

1232
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 1: twenty years old? Even the fifty nine year old dude

1233
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:42,799
Speaker 1: would answer that for you. So yes, it's not great now.

1234
01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:44,680
Speaker 1: It's not great now. You're not the first person to

1235
01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:46,920
Speaker 1: be in that position. You won't be the last person.

1236
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 1: I'll say this because I didn't get the specifics on this.

1237
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:53,080
Speaker 1: If you're being taken advantage of to a agree that

1238
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:58,599
Speaker 1: it's illegal, address it. Address it, so, very very very

1239
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:01,760
Speaker 1: clear line of demarcation here lying in the sand. We

1240
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:04,320
Speaker 1: need to draw it. If anyone is putting you in

1241
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 1: harm's way, if anyone's doing something illegal to you, this

1242
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:11,240
Speaker 1: is a moot point, Okay. At that point, call the

1243
01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 1: cops or Osha or whoever you need to call. But

1244
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:17,639
Speaker 1: if you're just getting the short end of the stick,

1245
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 1: if you're getting a raw deal right now, yeah, you're

1246
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 1: being taken advantage of. So here's a little newsflash. Not

1247
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 1: everyone will tell you this. Maybe your college professors won't.

1248
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe even your friends or family won't. I will

1249
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:33,760
Speaker 1: though it's gonna happen. You're gonna get taken advantage of.

1250
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 1: It's almost an inevitability in the workplace. It doesn't make

1251
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:39,719
Speaker 1: it right or wrong. It probably does make it wrong,

1252
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:43,280
Speaker 1: but it is a thing. It's happened to me. I

1253
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:45,680
Speaker 1: got two dudes sitting in this room over here right

1254
01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:47,639
Speaker 1: now that don't have a microphone in front of them.

1255
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:50,400
Speaker 1: I promise you it's happened to them. It happens to

1256
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:52,599
Speaker 1: a lot of folks who have watched the show. Are

1257
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:55,600
Speaker 1: watching this show, you're getting taken advantage of. Here's the

1258
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 1: question that I will leave you with. Are you taking

1259
01:09:59,880 --> 01:10:04,840
Speaker 1: it advantage of them? Because in this circumstance, I encourage it.

1260
01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:09,800
Speaker 1: Now Here is where I can apply practical wisdom because

1261
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 1: I've lived this. I was working in local news. I

1262
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:16,120
Speaker 1: was down in Columbus, Georgia. I was making twenty four

1263
01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:19,679
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars a year. It wasn't enough to pay

1264
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 1: my rent. It wasn't enough to feed myself like I

1265
01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:26,280
Speaker 1: needed financial assistance. I couldn't even sustain on my salary.

1266
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:30,599
Speaker 1: Not to mention, the workload that was being asked of

1267
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:35,599
Speaker 1: me was egregious. And the world of local media right now,

1268
01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:40,559
Speaker 1: there is a situation where some local news outlets have

1269
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 1: to shut down because they're purchased by other conglomerates. And

1270
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:47,240
Speaker 1: in the aggregate, what happens is you may be working

1271
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 1: in Columbus, Georgia, but the ownership group that owns your

1272
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:55,240
Speaker 1: station also purchased a station in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Well,

1273
01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 1: the boss comes to you one day and says, hey,

1274
01:10:57,479 --> 01:10:59,559
Speaker 1: I need you to do a sports cast every night

1275
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 1: for Lake Charles two. I'm not going to pay you

1276
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:04,920
Speaker 1: any more money. I just need you to do that.

1277
01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:07,719
Speaker 1: That's being taken advantage of I knew it at the time,

1278
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:12,960
Speaker 1: So you can either sulk or you can know where

1279
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:14,519
Speaker 1: you want to go. The one thing I did have

1280
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:16,800
Speaker 1: at that point was a vision. I did have kind

1281
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 1: of a dream of what I wanted to do. So

1282
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:22,240
Speaker 1: I look around and I say, well, let's see, I'm

1283
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:25,599
Speaker 1: in a pretty sucky position right now, but I also

1284
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:27,160
Speaker 1: know where I want to go. How do I take

1285
01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 1: advantage of this? I'm sitting in a TV studio every night.

1286
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 1: I want to ultimately host my own college football show.

1287
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:35,320
Speaker 1: I want to have my own college football channel. How

1288
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:39,679
Speaker 1: about launch one on YouTube and then work a deal

1289
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:44,120
Speaker 1: out with this TV station somehow, or I can start that.

1290
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:47,360
Speaker 1: I can use the equipment here, and I can use

1291
01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 1: the infrastructure in place here. That's exactly what we did.

1292
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:53,400
Speaker 1: That's how this show came to be is we launched

1293
01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 1: the thing in twenty eighteen down there, and we started

1294
01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 1: doing it on YouTube. And you know, people were already

1295
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 1: doing videos on you, but no one was doing it

1296
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:04,960
Speaker 1: emanating from an actual TV studio. But I was because

1297
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:07,280
Speaker 1: I took advantage of the station that I was at,

1298
01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:09,559
Speaker 1: because they were taking advantage of me, and so I

1299
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:13,080
Speaker 1: just made it reciprocal. No hard feelings. I don't have

1300
01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:14,920
Speaker 1: a bit of animosity. In fact, I still talk to

1301
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:18,040
Speaker 1: a lot of the people, specifically from the ownership group

1302
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:20,720
Speaker 1: down there. I understood how the game was played. So

1303
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:23,760
Speaker 1: wherever you are right now, where do you want to go?

1304
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:26,280
Speaker 1: Who do you want to be? Like? What's your talent,

1305
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:28,400
Speaker 1: what's your passion? Where do they overlap? How can you

1306
01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:31,400
Speaker 1: take advantage of the situation. The answer could be just quit,

1307
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:34,200
Speaker 1: That could be the answer. Maybe you don't have the

1308
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:36,720
Speaker 1: option to quit right now. How do you take advantage

1309
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 1: of it? That's the question you ought to be asking yourself.

1310
01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:41,640
Speaker 1: Not am I being taken advantage of? Of course you

1311
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:45,000
Speaker 1: are a billion people before you have you're a billion

1312
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:48,720
Speaker 1: in one. But you can still make a winner out

1313
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:53,639
Speaker 1: of the situation. So develop the vision, take advantage while

1314
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 1: you're being taken advantage of. That's our show tonight. We

1315
01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thank you so much. We will be back

1316

1317
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,400
Speaker 1: the ret lashly conversation. Now, I know what you're thinking,

1318
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 1: I'm a Syracuse fan. What do I care about what

1319
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:14,040
Speaker 1: the SMU head coach has to say. It's really good.

1320
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:16,719
Speaker 1: I don't care who you're a fan of. I don't

1321
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:18,280
Speaker 1: care if you're a fan of college football or not.

1322
01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:21,400
Speaker 1: You probably are, but it's really good. I should strongly

1323
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:23,679
Speaker 1: encourage you guys to listen to it. So we're gonna

1324
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:25,519
Speaker 1: have a lot for you to listen to tomorrow we'll
