1
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's that time you've been asking for it, and

2
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it to you. Immunity. Pull out that

3
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: old campfire accelerant, toss it on the flames, because we're

4
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: going right back to story hour tonight. Not a story

5
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 1: that takes an hour per se, but at the end

6
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: of this show, the thing that you guys have asked

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: for that I have neglected to give you for so

8
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: long as back, I'm gonna give you some good old

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: fashioned peel back the curtains, behind the scenes, maybe even

10
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: off the record intel on our latest trip, this time

11
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: it was to Miami, but you know, we're on the

12
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: road every week of the college football season, and so

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: as much as I can responsibly and dutifully provide you,

14
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you some more of that behind the

15
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: scenes scoop and juice and dirt that you like so much.

16
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: We are jam packed high top a stormy downtown Nashville,

17
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: Tennessee to Sunday night, June eleventh, the year of our

18
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: lower twenty twenty three. What if is actually the name

19
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: of the first segment we're gonna do tonight. What If

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: I want to know the biggest ones in college football

21
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: this year? I put out the tweet a little while ago,

22
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: what are your biggest what ifs in the sport this year?

23
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: And we came up with four of them. You guys

24
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: came up with like four hundred of them. I'm not

25
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: so sure that this may not be a recurring segment

26
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: throughout the rest of June recruitings on Fire. I mean,

27
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: if you're not locked in right now, I'm gonna get

28
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: you locked in. How about that. I'm not gonna shame

29
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: you for you know, worrying about your family or taking

30
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: your kid to her soccer game, or you know, just

31
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: spending some outdoors time. But hey, it's official visit season

32
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: and a lot of these programs are making major moves.

33
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: Some of them have already got twenty plus commits in

34
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: their class. And it was a massive official visit weekend

35
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: for a number of programs. So if you didn't follow it,

36
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,559
Speaker 1: that's okay. Maybe you have a life. But producer Jesse

37
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: does not, and so I had him monitoring this all

38
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: weekend because I'm with you, guys, I've got a life.

39
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: But Jesse just stayed bunkered in here, and so he

40
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: found out what's happening. We got Wilt Fong with updates

41
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: coast to coast over on twenty four seven sports dot Com,

42
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have all the latest tonight. Hey, let

43
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: me ask you another question because one of you asked me,

44
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna do it a little bit later in

45
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: the show so you'll have time to think about this.

46
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: Do you think today's college football player loves the game

47
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: as much as the average college football player did in say,

48
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty seven. Just something to think about. Very interesting question,

49
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: perfect for the month of June for us to talk

50
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: about later. And we got bold predictions, we've got the

51
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: LSU Spotlight. I don't know how we keep the show

52
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: under an hour tonight. The answer is we probably don't.

53
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: And I don't think anyone minds. In the Lexington, Oklahoma,

54
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: that's where they're watching this tonight. Oro Valley, Arizona Belgrade,

55
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: Serbia has checked in. They've got a Serbian player on

56
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: the Denver Nuggets. That's pretty good. I want you guys

57
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on him. Really gonna emerge, I

58
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: think over the next few years. And I would know

59
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: because I was at the NBA Finals the other night.

60
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: And thoughts and prayers to my buddy Bernie who got

61
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: knocked out by Connor McGregor assault to quote Dan Lust

62
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: also Fairfax Station Virginia is tuned in. There a lot

63
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: of inside references in that last sentence. I don't expect

64
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: most of you to keep up with that. Here's what

65
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: you do need to know about this week. We're gonna

66
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: be live from a Los Angeles, California Thursday night. Apparently

67
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: we're just a road show year round. Now we're gonna

68
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: be at a Lead eleven out there, and then I'm

69
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: gonna hop a red eye and come right back to Nashville. Why,

70
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: Because we got consequential softball games Friday night. I can't

71
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: be expected to miss that. My team is counting on me,

72
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: and so I may have a surprise or two up

73
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 1: my sleeve for you Thursday. It's not a promise. We'll

74
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: see how the week goes. But there are a lot

75
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: of people on the West Coast that we don't get

76
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: to talk to in person regularly enough, so let's just

77
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: see what comes of it. But we will be live

78
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: from LA. It'll be a little bit earlier start time, too,

79
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: so follow the socials at late kick, Josh, I'll let

80
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: you know exactly what time we're gonna start there. But

81
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: it'll be a normal show. I mean, it'll be just

82
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: like this one. It's just that the sun will still

83
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: be out. I may be wearing sunnies. It's a fancy

84
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: term sunglasses. So I look forward to that. The drive

85
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: to two hundred KKE, and we got to get this

86
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: channel to two hundred thousand subs before kickoff. There is

87
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: no plan B, that is it. There's no safety net

88
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: under this promise that I am making to you. We're

89
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: getting this thing to two hundred k subs before college

90
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: football season, or Colin goes on a hunger strike, and

91
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: that would be really detrimental, cause he's the one punching

92
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: the show right now, which is what we call a director.

93
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: All right, let's dive in. We have got so many

94
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: different places to go. I appreciate you guys, especially if

95
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: you're tuned in live. May need to start incentivizing live viewership.

96
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: We'll see what we can do about that. The biggest

97
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: what ifs in college football this year? What's on your mind?

98
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: What are you asking yourself? What are you sitting on

99
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: the back porch with Uncle Lester, maybe in the hammock,

100
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: maybe in the upright swing, saying Uncle Lester, what if

101
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: this happened? Well, I got four of them and you

102
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: had several more than this. But let's just start in Tallahassee.

103
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: What if it's real? What if the smoke from Tallahassee

104
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: is real? What if Florida State really does win the

105
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: ACC this year? Think about the ripple effect. First off,

106
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: we've got a major, prominent brand and returning to the

107
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: main table of college football. And I've told you before

108
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you again if Florida State is for

109
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: real this year. The only reason they're hyped up this

110
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: year are for reasons that would extend well beyond this year.

111
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: I e. They've recruited well enough. They don't have one

112
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: of the most talented rosters in the sport yet we

113
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: detailed that the other night, but well enough. They have

114
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: portaled very well. I mean they have attacked that portal

115
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: like few other programs have. They are developing. The culture

116
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: is in place that they took their sweet time putting

117
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: in place, and that's exactly how a culture is built.

118
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: They don't they don't pop out of microwaves. Long lasting,

119
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: sustainable cultures they don't pop out of microwaves. And I'm

120
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: saying all that because if Florida State were to win

121
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: the ACC this year, it would be validation. It would

122
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: be validation that Mike Norvel's for real. I don't know

123
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: that football people doubted he was for real, but some

124
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: casuals did. Some folks wanted him fired. No one will

125
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: go on record with that now, but I've got the screenshots,

126
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: I mean, hoops TAMAI share in my private dms. But anyway,

127
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: if they win the ACC, sure you've got Florida State

128
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: re emerging. And if they win the ACC, we may

129
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: very well be looking at Florida State college football playoff

130
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: participant in the year of our lower twenty twenty three.

131
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: But also there's this other little tidbit, because this is

132
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: the what if game, and what if Florida State wins

133
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: the ACC, Well, that would mean, Josh, that means Clemson

134
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: didn't win the ACC, and we'd all of a sudden

135
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: have to look up there as well. Now we don't

136
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: know the details. Maybe they just went back and forth

137
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: and they played an instant classic in Week four and

138
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: they play another instant classic in the ACC title game. Well,

139
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: if that's the case and Clemson falls thirty eight to

140
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: thirty five both times, it's obvious the bold prediction from

141
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: the other night about them having the top defense in

142
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: the ACC probably did not come to fruition. But I

143
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: can't really fault them all that much. But if Florida

144
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: State wins this thing because they're superior, and Clemson just

145
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, even with the new OC, it does

146
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: not spark life into that program, then we start comparing philosophies,

147
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: don't we Then we start and by we, I don't

148
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: even have to participate in this because it would come

149
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: from Clemson. It would come from inside the camp of

150
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: the Orange and White up there in Purple. Occasionally they

151
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: would start saying, are we really going to be bypassed

152
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: by this guy in Tallahassee who's taking advantage of all

153
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: that the sport gives him transfer portal? In other words,

154
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: while we voluntarily neglect the transfer portal. Because if that happens,

155
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: if Florida State wins the ACC, people will view it

156
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: as a referendum on the two approaches. You know that,

157
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: and I know that right now it's not like that

158
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: because Florida State hasn't done anything of note on the

159
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: national stage. But if and when they do, and that's

160
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: the approach, and Clemson hasn't changed their approach. Yeah, a

161
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: lot of what if ramifications. If they win the ACC,

162
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: let's go to the SEC now. I got to get

163
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: a little negative here on you for a seade. The

164
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: Bama over under win totals ten right now, and a

165
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: lot of folks are taking the under. I don't know

166
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: if you're actually taking the under. I just I know

167
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: you're telling me that you're taking the under. It's one

168
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: of America's favorite pastimes. Right now, Hop on Twitter, hop

169
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: on the Gram and tell Josh Bama's not winning ten games. Okay,

170
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: college football citizen, show me the bet slip. Some of

171
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: you have, many more of you have not. But here's

172
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: my what if? What if you're right? What if Alabama

173
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: does not win the SEC West again this year so

174
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: they're not in Atlanta again? I guess the obvious question is, well,

175
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: what went wrong? Did quarterback not pan out for him?

176
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: Is that secondary not quite as good as old JP

177
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: thought they were going to be? What is it? How

178
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: many games did they win? I guess would be My

179
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: second question is is it an eleven and one season

180
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: where they have some Game of the Year candidate against

181
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: LSU and LSU beat some and all of a sudden,

182
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: Bama's on the outside looking in, but hey, maybe there's

183
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: still a fringe playoff contender. Or do they go nine

184
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: and three? Do they fall to Texas which wouldn't be

185
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: a conference game, but it would be a precursor maybe

186
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: of vulnerability. And then do they lose at Texas A

187
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: and M. Do they drop one to Tennessee or LSU

188
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: or do they get clipped by like Hugh Freeze and

189
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: Auburn randomly at the end of the year. I do

190
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: know this. It would be mighty uncomfortable because, as I

191
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: detailed the other night, I've got a massive I got

192
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: a massive Alabama audience, and a large chunk of that

193
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: audience is college age. And I love all you guys,

194
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: but you're not ready for it. I've tried to get

195
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: you ready, but I can't. There is really no kit

196
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: to get a nineteen year old diehard Alabama fan ready

197
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: for what a nine to three, eight and four season

198
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: feels like. And I don't think you're going to experience

199
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: it this year. It is not my prediction, certainly, but

200
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: this is the what if game. This is where we

201
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: can recklessly throw hypotheticals out there with you know, impunity,

202
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: because it's just what if. You know, it's just what if?

203
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: You guys are not ready for that, and I hope

204
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: you don't experience it for a long long time. I

205
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: will be here for you and we will probably have

206
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: our own little self show, just a Bama Cope special

207
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: for if and when they do finally fall back to

208
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: earth a little bit. But if they don't win the West. Yeah,

209
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: you got the million and one questions about Alabama. Who

210
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: won the West? It's fair question, right, Colin Jesse, Yeah,

211
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: who won the West? Well? I think the first guess

212
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: out there would be LSU because LSU's the next highest

213
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: odds on favorite. But I just have this, I just

214
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: have this crazy scenario and anytime I elongate the A,

215
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's about to be pretty crazy. What if

216
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: it is someone like Texas A and M. What if

217
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: they do win all those close games they lost last year?

218
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: What if Bobby Petrino really was the heel that they

219
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: needed at just the right time. We need a bad

220
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: guy winning divisions in college football. We need a bad

221
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: guy program, and we need a fan base. And I

222
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: think A and M is that fan base that is

223
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: happy to play the heel role. Not everything can be

224
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: WrestleMania seventeen. You can't have good guy versus good guy.

225
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: Someone's got to turn heel. They did it at the

226
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: worst moment imaginable that night in Houston, Texas. But outside

227
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: of College Station, no one likes Bobby Patrin. No, outside

228
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: of College Station, very few people have a net positive

229
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: impression of Jimbo Fisher. That's not a bad thing. It's

230
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: actually a really good thing if you can embrace it. Well,

231
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: what if they not only embrace it, they embrace it

232
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: to the point where they take down Alabama in College

233
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: Station and they win the West, and all of a sudden,

234
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: it's it's Georgia versus who, Georgia versus A and M.

235
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: I thought there was an SEC bylaw where they couldn't

236
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: play each other. Nope, that's just in the regular season.

237
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: They could face each other in Atlanta. So yeah, as

238
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: you can see, you know, if you punch the middle

239
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: of the water bed, which I did not finance three

240
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: year letterman, then it reverberates. Well beyond just Tuscaloosa, here's

241
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: one for you. Let's just go out to the lone

242
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: star state. Let's leave the SEC for one last time.

243
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: I don't like saying Texas is back. I don't even

244
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: like the nomenclature. So I'm just gonna say, what if

245
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: Texas is for real? What if they really are a

246
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: Tier one team this year? Now, I'm not going to

247
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: traffick in that whole Texas as a program thing, even

248
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: if they win the Big Twelve this year, because all

249
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: that would be is Texas doing what they always were

250
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: supposed to do anyway, So it's not proof. Even if

251
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 1: they make the playoff this year, it's not this total, definitive,

252
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: like rock solid proof that they're back is a program,

253
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: although it would be a pretty darn solid indication even

254
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: I have to admit that. But what if Texas just

255
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: is for real? What if they devour food in week

256
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: one and if you're listening on podcasts, yes they play

257
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: Rice in week one. What if they do go and

258
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: just beat Alabama in week two, but at the very

259
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: least play a competitive game there, That'd be one of

260
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: the most charged environments of the year. By the way,

261
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,599
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about that a little bit later in

262
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: the show, So I'm not gonna I'm not gonna double

263
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: dip in what I have to say about that game.

264
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: But Texas wins the Big Twelve this year, what if

265
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: they're in the playoff? You know what if sark validates

266
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: a lot of what they hope about him. What if

267
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: he proves wrong? What a lot of the rest of

268
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: the country doubts about him, A lot of doubt around

269
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: Steve Sarkisian. The whole cannot have not versus will not,

270
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: you know that thing. If they are for real, then

271
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: they would win the Big Twelve. If they are for real,

272
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: so we'd have that maybe that includes a playoff trip,

273
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: but they would be springboarding their way into the sec

274
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: off of that momentum. And it would also mean that, Okay, well,

275
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: if Steve Sarkisian's formula works, it's only going to get

276
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: stronger because their roster talent is only going to increase,

277
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: in fact, substantially increase their top five recruiter every year

278
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: now and that class this year I think will in

279
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: many ways mirror the class they had last year. Also,

280
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: we've talked many times about how they are just stacking quarterbacks,

281
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: so not all of them are going to stay there,

282
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter. They're always going to have at

283
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 1: least two high quality options, so they're not going to

284
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: be one of those programs that's vulnerable to QB one

285
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: going down and poverty elsewhere in the room. If it

286
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: happened this year, that have Malik Murphy an arch Manning

287
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: sitting right there waiting to play. And they've also vastly

288
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: upgraded line of scrimmage talent they lost b Jon Robinson.

289
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: I still think they are very, very good at tailback.

290
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 1: I don't really need to talk about the embarrassment of

291
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: riches they have in the wide receiver room defense. We

292
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: can talk about that another day. They are trending at

293
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: least in the right direction there, but that's preseason talk.

294
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: If they win it, if they're for real, that means

295
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: I'm just right about all that. Is the world ready

296
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: if a'sd this question like three times in the past month,

297
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: Is the world ready for Texas being back? Is Texas

298
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: fan ready for Texas being back? I talk about the

299
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: nineteen year old Alabama fan who's never experienced a down

300
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: year for Alabama. Well, think about the nineteen year old

301
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: Texas fan and think about the fact that they were

302
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: a very very small child when Colt got hurt in

303
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: that National title game against Alabama, and the fact that

304
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: they've not been back since. What does nineteen year old

305
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: Texas fan all of a sudden do And then imagine,

306
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: I always think about this the folks who were enrolled

307
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: at the University of Texas. In this case, you're there.

308
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: When you're there, you don't control the football program. But

309
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: imagine if you just so happened to be a true

310
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: freshman when Texas re emerges, it's like being a freshman

311
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: at Alabama circa two thousand and eight or nine or

312
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: something like that. And you know your older brother who's

313
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: seven years older. He's telling you stories about Mike Price,

314
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: and he's telling you stories about Mike Shula, and you're like,

315
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: couldn't be me. Dude named Saban rolled into town. Hey,

316
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: someone's eventually going to be able to talk like that

317
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: in Austin, Texas. Maybe it is the class of twenty twenty.

318
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: What would that be twenty twenty eight nine thirty good luck,

319
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: I guess as my lasting message there. And lastly, they

320
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: got one double digit win season since twenty ten. By

321
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: the way, according to my teleprompter, And that concludes the

322
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: use of the teleprompter for the night. What if Ohio

323
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: State doesn't win the Big ten East, Well, another doomsday scenario. Yeah,

324
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: let's go ahead. Scenario. It's a doomsday scenario. I think

325
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: we all know that. I think everyone up there, from

326
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: Cincinnati to Dayton and everywhere in between understands they need

327
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: to win the division this year. Now, I say that,

328
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: which allows you the opportunity to go in the comment

329
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: section and say, Okay, well if they have to, what

330
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: happens if they don't. I don't really know. Wailing yes,

331
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: gnashing of teeth yes, throwing furniture out of windows, torch, pitchfork,

332
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: check all the boxes. Yes, that would happen. But that's

333
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: not the question. The question is straight up, would Ryan

334
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: day be fired? I think it's insanity to suggest it.

335
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: That's my opinion on the matter. There are scores of

336
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: other folks that wear scarlet and gray during the fall

337
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: that disagree with that. I've explained their whole plight. They've

338
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: explained it very well. Actually, they look at it and

339
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: they say, we don't hold ourselves to a ten win standard. Here.

340
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: You look at the schedule. We've got advantages over everyone

341
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: and virtually every compartment that it takes to win at

342
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: a high level in this sport. There are really no

343
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: areas where hamstrung big time as an athletic department. I

344
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: said big time because I know the board over at

345
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: Button Nuts would correct me on that, and they would

346
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: point out ABC and D. You've got first world problems

347
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: up there. You want real world problems, leave Columbus, Ohio.

348
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: Go talk to some of those MAX schools that surround you.

349
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: They got real world problems. Kent State is struggling to

350
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: field a program this year because the from coast to

351
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: coast everyone just raided them. Really sad story. Actually, so

352
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: if they don't, if Ohio State doesn't win the East,

353
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: this is the last year that they have division play

354
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: up there. By the way, if they don't win the East,

355
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: they don't go to the Big Ten championship game. Probably

356
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: means they lost to Michigan again. Maybe they lost to

357
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: Penn State and Michigan hoops knows amongst us. So uncomfortable,

358
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: so uncomfortable. And then we also outside of just the

359
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: uncomfortability factor of ugh sucks to be Ryan Day in

360
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: that scenario. But you also have to ask, does that

361
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: mean that Harbaugh just ripped off another one or do

362
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: James Franklin and Penn State emerge like what happened up

363
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: there interesting inquiring minds would like to know. Those are

364
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: some of the what IFFs I'm looking at. This is

365
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: one of many things that makes this sport great. You

366
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: notice we didn't fly off the handle. That was not

367
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: a that was not a hot take fest. It's okay

368
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: to say you don't know in the middle of summer

369
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: preview magazine season is upon us. We are a wash

370
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: in predictions, and we will make our fair share on

371
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: this show in due time. But it's okay to just

372
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: just speculate, you know, like between sets at the gym

373
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 1: at the barbecue joint tomorrow, when you're killing time before

374
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: you have to go back to work, the kinds of

375
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: things that we would talk about there. It's okay when

376
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: someone puts a microphone in front of your face to

377
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: just just talk that way for a little while. And

378
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 1: that's what we just did. And I don't know why

379
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: I'm talking like Bob Ross right now. I can't paint

380
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: to save my life. But speaking of art, Colin, I

381
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: guess that segment's over. Speaking of art, I gotta sh

382
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: tell you something I always tell you about my dms, right,

383
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,719
Speaker 1: and one of you finally called me the other day,

384
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: called me on something don't do the FaceTime call, don't

385
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: don't do the Instagram call thing. I never answer. One

386
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: of you called me on it. You said, hey, stop

387
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: referencing your dms if you're not going to show them

388
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: to us. Now, it is uncouth to ask someone to

389
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: show you their dms, But if they're gonna throw them

390
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: in your face referencing them, you absolutely are within your rights,

391
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: constitutionally within your rights to dare me to show you.

392
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: So you know what I'm gonna do. Tonight's about peeling

393
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: back the layers. It's about opening the curtain for you

394
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: in a number of different ways. I'm just gonna start

395
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: showing you some of the stuff I get every day.

396
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: The connectivity between this audience and us is unlike anything

397
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: else I see anywhere in this industry. I'm just gonna

398
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: show you some random stuff throughout the show tonight. So

399
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: one of them actually has sound, And don't worry. If

400
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: you're listening on podcasts, you're gonna hear everything you need

401
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: to hear. I go in my instrum the other day

402
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 1: there is a DM from one of you, and it's

403
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: a video. And I always hesitate before I open those videos,

404
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: but I opened this one and it is a guy

405
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: playing a guitar. And for those of you who tune

406
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: into the live show, you may recognize this tune. So

407
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 1: Director Colin's going to play like five seconds of it.

408
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: And if you don't recognize it immediately, you probably won't

409
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: get it. Let's see how many of you get it?

410
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: Roll at Colin, So what is that? Anywady recognize that?

411
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: And if you watch the replay of the show, this

412
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: makes no sense to you. There's a countdown clock that

413
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: we put on the live show, so it's it's seven

414
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: fifty eastern, six fifty central. Colin starts a countdown clock,

415
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: and that's just a mechanism to build the live audience. Well,

416
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: there's music that plays behind the countdown clock. I've never

417
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,479
Speaker 1: really thought much about it because most of the time

418
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: I'm in the stud and I don't hear the music.

419
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: Some of you have taken great fascination in that music.

420
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: Some of you request it, and it's royalty free. Great

421
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: news for you guys. You could use it anytime you want.

422
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 1: Our guy right here is just riffing away. He's just

423
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 1: decided to play it for us. That was just an

424
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: unopened DM that I found. Those are the sorts of

425
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: things that I have every single day in there. Thank you.

426
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. If that's a competition that people want

427
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: to start, which hoopstever of you thinks that you can

428
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: play the countdown Clock theme song the best? I don't

429
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: even know what the title of the song would be,

430
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: the yet to be named countdown Clock song, be my guest.

431
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 1: Have at it all right, huge weekend, massive recruiting weekend

432
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 1: going on right now even as we speak on this

433
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: Sunday night. I don't want to waste time here. I

434
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 1: do want to tell you, though, make sure you're locked

435
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: onto twenty four seven sports dot com. Steve Wilfong's phone.

436
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: Oh the iphong. Can you imagine how hard that thing

437
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: is gasping for breath right now. He's been updating and

438
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 1: updating and updating all day. So there are articles and

439
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: their scoop everywhere. I have curated what you need to

440
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: know from a national level Georgia, and it's going to

441
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: shock you. They got a really good class. They got

442
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 1: the number one class in the country. Right now. I

443
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: would call them the odds on favorite to finish with

444
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: the number one class. We'll see. It's a loaded in

445
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: state crop. Okay, So I could spend all day talking

446
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: to you about the good players in the state of

447
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: Georgia this year. But what's interesting and if you look

448
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: at the kids they had on campus this past weekend,

449
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: and if you listen to Kirby Smart last time we

450
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: had him on this show, he said, yeah, we want

451
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: to lock down the state, but we have to be

452
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: smart about the way we recruit. You can't just assume

453
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 1: that the complementary nature of your needs will always be

454
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: met with in state guys. It could be that you

455
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: got a number of defensive backs and a really really

456
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 1: deep offensive line crop, but maybe you need three interior

457
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: defensive linemen and the better quality is a kid in

458
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: Indiana and a couple of them Arizona and californ You, well,

459
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: what do you do. You recruit your backyard, but then

460
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: you supplement nationally. That's what George is doing again. That's

461
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: always their mo and it always will be under Kirby Smart.

462
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: They flipped Chauncey are Bowen's not good news for our

463
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: friends down in Gainesville, but it is good news for Georgia.

464
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,719
Speaker 1: That's a four star running back. Nate Frasier is another

465
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: top two four to seven running back out of Santa Ana, California.

466
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: And so two kids at the tailback position not from

467
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: the peach state. They are either the just outright commit

468
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: I don't want to say, I don't want to say

469
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: he signed with him because he didn't but he committed

470
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: to him, or they're the favorite. So two tailbacks there,

471
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: and also they lead. And this is pretty interesting. I

472
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: think a lot of folks in the recruiting industry are

473
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: not surprised by this. But if I told you there's

474
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: a five star edge guy out of Birmingham, Alabama named

475
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: Jordan Ross, you'd say, oh, where's he going, Bama or Auburn. Well,

476
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: Georgia leads for him right now. At least that's the

477
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: way things look. Vestavia Hills no less. If Management lives

478
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: in Birmingham, Vestavia Hills is the neighborhood Management would live in.

479
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: I think I've told you all you need to know

480
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: about Vestavia Hills. This is a loaded cycle in state

481
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: for Georgia. Like I said, but they are making moves

482
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:12,719
Speaker 1: for a number of kids out of state. All right,

483
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: let's move it along because we got so much to

484
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: get to Penn State. The fighting Jesse's see that chart

485
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: there on your screen number six in the country right now. Yes, me,

486
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: Ma said, only a foolish man buys stock in class

487
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: rankings in June. But we are those foolish men. Sometimes.

488
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: Mem good for Penn State. Now, so far they got

489
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 1: eighteen verbal commits, subject to change. But there are a

490
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: ton of eyes on a kid named Nick Marsh because

491
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: the receiver position at Penn State, if you were to

492
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: identify a big question relatively speaking, the receiver position is

493
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: one where they're not overly dynamic. They have not been

494
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,239
Speaker 1: overly dynamic. But that's why you recruit, because you got

495
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: the dynamic quarterback up there. Hopefully big time names like

496
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: this want to play with him. Six three, two hundred pounds.

497
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: He's a four star receiver out of Michigan. It looks

498
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: like Penn State leads for him. Jamonta Waller, five star

499
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: edge guy. Now this would not even be the first

500
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: cycle in the last couple of years where they will

501
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: have landed a five star edge guy if they do

502
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: so secure this commitment. But they lead for him, I

503
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: do believe, and our folks close to Penn State agree

504
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: with that. Auburn, Florida the main competition there, and Grimsley

505
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: four star safety Jamier Grimsley out of Tampa. That's going

506
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: to be a Penn State Alabama battle as it appears

507
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: right now. Now he hadn't taken his official to Alabama,

508
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: but they feel really good about what they did with

509
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: him on campus this weekend. Penn State just it's so

510
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: funny when you watch the trajectory. It's not a sudden spike.

511
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: It's just steadily little engine that could further and further

512
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: chug a chug a chugga up the hill. And they're

513
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: in it for one or two more high caliber athletes

514
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: per cycle that they used to not be in it for.

515
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: And it's one chop, two chop, three chops. It's trees

516
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 1: eventually going to fall. No, it's not. It would have

517
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: fallen already. That's not how forestry works. Please be quiet, sir.

518
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: It'll fall eventually. We'll see this year, next year, it'll

519
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: fall eventually. I was down in Miami for the better

520
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 1: part of the week, and I tell you, I walked

521
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: in that building Tuesday and it was already buzzing about

522
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,719
Speaker 1: the official visit weekend that was coming up. We did

523
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: the live show from their Thursday night. I told you,

524
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: in no uncertain terms. They think this is the biggest

525
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 1: official visit weekend in the history of Miami football. Well,

526
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: here we are on Sunday night. I think they just

527
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: had the biggest official visit weekend in the history of

528
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 1: Miami football. I don't just want to gloss over what

529
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: I said there. The history of Miami football. They've had

530
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: some pretty good teams down there. They've pumped out some

531
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: pretty good players the biggest and most star studded, let

532
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: me say, official visit weekend in the history of Miami

533
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: Hurricane football. They had four of the top ten there,

534
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: six of the top thirty five. It sounds like they

535
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: knocked it out of the park with all of them.

536
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: And it would be a shock to me if anything

537
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: other than that was said, given the level of preparation

538
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: and the intense attention to detail, I mean right down

539
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: to how inflated the green and orange balloons were on

540
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: the staircase leading into the Athletic building. Every t was crossed,

541
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: every eye was dotted, and it's the kind of weekend

542
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: that could reverberate for years to come. Do you think

543
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 1: that's hyperbolic? It's not. Ask any of these fan bases

544
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 1: around major programs where there was a kind of a

545
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: paradigm shift. They always point back to a recruiting class

546
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: that was the spark, and some of them who follow

547
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: recruiting hardcore can point back to individual weekends. I'll tell

548
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: you this. I'll save a lot of this for later

549
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: in the show. So after we got done with Mario Christabaal,

550
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: I talked to him for another thirty or forty minutes

551
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: just off camera. Boy, if I could have had him

552
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: micd up for that. But the one thing I'll tell

553
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: you is he's got a really good memory, and he

554
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: was detailing specific recruiting weekends that he remembered from his

555
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: time at Alabama as an assistant or Oregon as a

556
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 1: head coach, and talking about the level of detail, the

557
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 1: intensity you have to have, but also the ability not

558
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: to force the issue and so you got to kind

559
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: of balance your emotions. But ma'am, some of those stories

560
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: about those recruiting classes at Bama and how they learn,

561
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: you know, how he learned attention to detail and leave

562
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: no stone unturned and applied it at Oregon and obviously

563
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: they're applying it down there now. It wouldn't surprise me

564
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: if they've had a verbal commit since we've gone on air.

565
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: Watch that closely because I think they will get results

566
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 1: out of this weekend, either immediately or eventually. Notre Dame

567
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: had a smaller contingent, but a really important one this weekend.

568
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: They're already near capacity on their class. When I say capacity,

569
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: you can save it. You don't need to tell me

570
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: that nothing nothing matters until the ink is dry. I know,

571
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: I know, I know. I'm also telling you I remember

572
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: Kean Keeley last year. I know they're not immune to

573
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: de commitments. I'm telling you they have nineteen verbals. I'm

574
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: telling you I think most of them are going to stick.

575
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: I'm telling you they got the number three class in

576
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: the country right now, and they are training headlong into

577
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: challenging to finish inside the top ten again. Elijah Rushing,

578
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: appropriately the number one edge player in the country, was

579
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,959
Speaker 1: on campus this weekend. He is from Tucson, Arizona. Fascinates

580
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: me that we don't pronounce that name. Tucson just fascinates me.

581
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, six six, two thirty five. Need him, need

582
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: players like him, difference maker. Also, the number two tight end,

583
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: Carter Nelson out of I believe Nebraska, was on campus

584
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: this weekend too. You know, if I were to tell you, hey,

585
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: Notre Dame had two high profile players on campus, what

586
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:41,719
Speaker 1: positions do you think they played? Edge, rusher and tight end?

587
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: Would be way way up there. For me, that's a

588
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: Nebraska Georgia kind of Notre Dame battle right now. For

589
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: the tight end, that's why you brought Marcus Freeman in.

590
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: Not Marcas Freeman. Marcus Freeman. That's why you elevated him.

591
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: I just I remember when Brian Kelly was up there.

592
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: They weren't bad recruiting, they weren't bad at anything. Actually,

593
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: they were never in the conversation like this. Now that's

594
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: not a knock on Kelly because he's got LSU in

595
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: the conversation. As I've told you many times, I think

596
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: this was a win win. Both programs seem to be

597
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: better off. Freeman at Notre Dame, Kelly at LSU. You

598
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: know that whole deal. I've gone over that many times.

599
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: But he's got him as a major player in recruiting

600
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: right now. He's got him in conversations that they used

601
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: to not be in. And so whatever changes they've made

602
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: up there, whatever promises they've made him, and whatever attitude

603
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: and approach he's brought to the recruiting trail. It's working.

604
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman's way is working, and of course that has

605
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: to translate on the field, and we can't press the

606
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: fast forward button and find out what the future holds

607
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: before we get there. Michigan and Ohio State both had

608
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: notable weekends. Here look at the crystal ball feature and

609
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: look at Michigan right now picking up crystal ball. And

610
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: that's just the twenty four to seven sports method of

611
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: prediction for insiders. A couple of crystal balls logged for

612
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: Dom Nichols. That's a four star edge guy out of Maryland.

613
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: Elias Rudolph, that's a four star edge guy out of Florida.

614
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: Michigan always been a national recruiter and also one of

615
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: the very special prediction alerts in the business is the

616
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: fong ball, as I call it, and that is when

617
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: Steve Wilfong weighs in. Has he trademarked fong ball? I

618
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: know he's trademarked a few similar terms for different reasons,

619
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: but has he trademarked fong ball yet? I don't know,

620
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: but I am if he's not, and I'm telling you

621
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: he dropped one for five star defensive end Eric Houston

622
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,479
Speaker 1: and that's a five star defensive end out of Buford

623
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: High School, Home of the Wolves, played him many times

624
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: when I was at Harris County. They have athletes like

625
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: that up there, and Ohio State's in it big. For one.

626
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: I always thought about Buford and Notre Dame because they

627
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: have the same color uniforms. As you can clearly see

628
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: if you're watching the b roll right now, recruiting is

629
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: on fire. Okay, this is like tip of the icebergs.

630
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: You got to be locked in on this. I don't

631
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: want you guys to be surprised. I don't want you

632
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: guys to be taken off guard. I would not be

633
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: fulfilling my duty to you as the leader of Pate

634
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: State University and a premium college football podcast even though

635
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: it's free, if I didn't keep you up to date

636
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: on this stuff. I don't call this a recruiting show.

637
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: But man, how do we not talk about this? This

638
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: is what January used to be, June and July or

639
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: what January used to be. I told you I want

640
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: to give you a little bit more of a peek

641
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: behind the curtain. I want to show you a little

642
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: bit more about what it's like to just swim in

643
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: the pool we swim in every day. Basically, I want

644
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: to show off how incredible our audience is. Well, you

645
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: know how incredible Academy Sports and Outdoors is. And if

646
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: you don't, let me tell you they're pretty incredible. They

647
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: make the show free for you. And they also have

648
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: this store and this chain of stores that has like

649
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: everything you could ever want one of. You me up

650
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: early today and said, well, we don't have one where

651
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: I live in Colorado. What should we do about this?

652
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: I said, Academy dot Com is what you should do

653
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: about that one stop shop for all outdoor sporting good

654
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: supply needs plus and the plus means they just got

655
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: a lot of other stuff that you would have never

656
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: even guessed. They have also military first responders. You drop

657
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: that ID anytime between now and July fourth, you get

658
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: an extra discount, You get free instore pickup if you

659
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: guys order it from Academy dot Com. But I ask

660
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: you sometimes let me know when you go to Academy,

661
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: let me show me some of your receipts, just give

662
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: me some testimonials. And I really didn't have to ask you.

663
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: You just kind of started doing it. But it's taken

664
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: on a life of its own. When we meet with Academy,

665
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: they don't talk about, hey, here's some fresh ad copy

666
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: for you to read. They don't talk about how I

667
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: want you to tweak, how you mentioned this, or I

668
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: want you to feature this new artwork. All they say

669
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,959
Speaker 1: is we get inundated with your viewers telling us that

670
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: they just went to our store. Whatever you're doing, keep

671
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: doing it. We love that, so we're just gonna do

672
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: that on steroids. Let me give you two examples of

673
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,760
Speaker 1: what I get by the dozens and dozens and dozens

674
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,760
Speaker 1: every day, Colin, could you show me the first one?

675
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: A guy by the name of Joshua raush Love his

676
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: name by the way, I got this from him on Twitter.

677
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: I own a reptile business. Who's amongst us dozen? I

678
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: own a reptile business. I needed a net Like an idiot.

679
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: I checked Walmart first because I was going to get

680
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,479
Speaker 1: something else, ended up at Academy and made it clear

681
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: that I was going to the better store. Found exactly

682
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: what I needed five dollars hashtag for the win. Now,

683
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: as I sit here and tell you outdoor sporting good supplies,

684
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: you don't think about the reptilian industry do you, But

685
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: yet they had the reptile net for old Joshua raush Check.

686
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:51,240
Speaker 1: Next up, I got a DM from our buddy Jonathan

687
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 1: Shusky Street named Buckets his little kid aiden basketball camp

688
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: ready and said they needed a photo because they had

689
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 1: just come out of a ca me and he's got

690
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: he's got a sizeable, a lengthy receipt in his hand.

691
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: This is what we call peyt State material. And this

692
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: is what I get from you guys every day. And

693
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna start showing it on air. Why Because

694
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm proud, That's why. So thank you to academy and

695
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: thank you to you guys. Longest ad read in history,

696
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: but I think it was worth it. Ceremonials sit from

697
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: the chalice there. I got a just a fascinating question

698
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: earlier today from one of you, and it was from

699
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 1: Paul and Camden, South Carolina. He said, I saw someone

700
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: say they think more and more college football players don't

701
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 1: love the game like they used to. Do you agree

702
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: or disagree? I had to think about this for a

703
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 1: little while. I here's what I think. I think it

704
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: is still a very much case by case basis. So

705
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: what I'm not ready to do is I'm not ready

706
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 1: to say today's player does or doesn't fill in the blank,

707
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: because I think it paints with too broad a brush.

708
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: And I'm around on these kids constantly, like I'm around

709
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: them all year, and I know some of them. I

710
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: think if you cut them open, they belied college football.

711
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: I think there are absolutely some others that play the

712
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 1: game because they have God given ability, because maybe their

713
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 1: parents expected them to, because maybe that's their way out

714
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,959
Speaker 1: of a tough situation. But maybe they don't necessarily eat, sleep,

715
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: and breathe it. Maybe they don't love it. That's always

716
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: existed though. I do think technology plays a huge role here.

717
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: So here's where I land on this, And I appreciate

718
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: the question. It's a really really good one, and I'm

719
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: going to be extra interested to get your feedback on this,

720
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: so I'll be looking at the comments on this. I

721
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 1: think technology has done so much to enhance, to change,

722
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: or to expose the conversation on this. So you ask,

723
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: does today's college football player love the game as much

724
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: as he used to? Well? Number one, I think technology

725
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: has served to expose a truth that was always there

726
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 1: that you used to not be told. It used to

727
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: be that every feature you saw about a college football

728
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: player exhibited their love of the game. They didn't all

729
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: love the game ever, It's just that you had very

730
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: very limited technological means with which to get information, and

731
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: so by the time it was filtered and delivered to you,

732
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: it was really really produced, it was really really dressed up.

733
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: You never got a real picture. Fact of the matter is,

734
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: at Penn State in nineteen seventy two, they had kids

735
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: in that locker room that didn't love the game, just

736
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: like they do today. You hope that it's very limited,

737
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: but not one hundred percent of kids that played the

738
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,760
Speaker 1: sport at any period loved it. It's just you didn't

739
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: used to hear about it. Now you got so many

740
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,240
Speaker 1: different communication mechanisms and players have such a higher profile,

741
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 1: sometimes the truth leaks out and bleeds through a little

742
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: bit more. Number two, I think that technology has obviously

743
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: created more information availability, and that's led to more divergence

744
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: and paths. So what I mean by that is, if

745
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: Jesse's sitting right here and Colin sitting right here, and

746
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 1: Jesse is predisposed to loving the game, and Colin is

747
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: predisposed to sort of being indifferent, He's just he's six

748
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: four to two thirty, and he happens to be a

749
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: really good tight end. Jesse's got access to more voices

750
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 1: than ever before, and therefore Jesse's mind is molded by

751
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: more voices than ever before. And if this dude over here,

752
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: Jesse is predisposed to loving the game. It's not just

753
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: his mom and dad he hears from anymore. He can

754
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: hear motivational messages. He can hear uplifting messages from all

755
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,240
Speaker 1: over the place. If you're subscribed to the right sorts

756
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: of feeds, you just scroll through your socials. You can

757
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:36,439
Speaker 1: get a lot. You can get a lot of bad

758
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: stuff on socials. You can get a lot of good

759
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: stuff pumped your way on socials too. That's fuel for Jesse.

760
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: Not for Colin. It may be different, and this is

761
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: purely hypothetical. Of course, for Colin, technology has created more

762
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: distraction for him, and therefore his attention is even less

763
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 1: on the matter at hand, and he's even less bought

764
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: in than he used to be. So technology alone is

765
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: not the devil. Technology alone is not the angel. The

766
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: way that you leverage it harness it is. And the

767
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 1: third thing is technology has provided more options. And this

768
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: is where I think especially some of the kids from

769
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: a rougher upbringing have it apply to them. It has

770
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 1: been preached for a long time for kids from a

771
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: certain socioeconomic background. You got ball or you got a microphone,

772
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: and those are the two ways that you're gonna make

773
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: it out. Whether that message is wholesome, whether that message

774
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: is accurate, that's been a message for generations. Well, all

775
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:35,280
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the digital media platforms and the social

776
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 1: platforms come of age and they enhance the ability to

777
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: create more options for you. So now, all of a sudden,

778
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: you can become an influencer. Well, how was a thirteen

779
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,720
Speaker 1: year old gonna hope to become an influencer in nineteen

780
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: ninety three. The answer is they weren't. But in twenty

781
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: twenty three, they absolutely can. So all of a sudden,

782
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,399
Speaker 1: there's this new brass ring, there's this new belt above

783
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: the ring to reach for. And some kids who have

784
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: the god given athletic ability that otherwise would have gone

785
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: into the lane of college football, even though they may

786
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: or may not love it necessarily, some of them just

787
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: flat out don't even play anymore because some of them

788
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: find another way out, and so the love of the

789
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 1: game It's really interesting because one of the first things

790
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: that stood out to me, one of the first big

791
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: shocks to me in observing football, NFL or college or

792
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: covering college football, was the realization that not everyone loved it.

793
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: When I was ten years old, I thought everyone loved it.

794
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: I thought, how could you ever survive playing that game

795
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: if you don't love it? It's hard. It's hard to

796
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: survive it for ninety nine percent of humans, even if

797
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: they do love it. But there is this certain cut

798
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 1: of cloth, There is this certain caliber of athlete that

799
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: is the zero point zero one percent out there that

800
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: is good enough to play this game even if they

801
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: don't love it and play it at a high level

802
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: and potentially be All conference, potentially be Hall of Fame bound.

803
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: They're that physically gifted. I just thought that didn't exist.

804
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: I thought all the guys I saw loved it. I

805
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: thought all the folks who covered the sport love it.

806
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,399
Speaker 1: That's not the case, either believe it or not. And

807
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: so I think when you start to when you start

808
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: to drill down into the particulars, is it a good

809
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: or bad thing? Well, it's just a thing. As a

810
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: college football fan, you may listen to me talking like this,

811
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: and you may say, well, if you don't love college football,

812
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:37,399
Speaker 1: that's a bad thing. Selfishly, I agree with you. But

813
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: let's just run this back. So let's take Colin again.

814
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 1: He's the six five, two hundred and thirty pounds tight end.

815
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: Don't love football, but he's good enough to play at Tennessee,

816
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: and he's good enough to shine in Josh Heipel's offense,

817
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: and he's a fifteen hundred yard receiving guy. And he

818
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: goes on. He gets drafted second round, goes to Indianapolis,

819
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: plays eight years, makes life changing money. He's out of

820
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,240
Speaker 1: the league by thirty and he's set and his kids

821
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: are set. And he never really loved it, but he

822
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: also kept his head on straight and he treated it

823
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: like a job and stayed out of trouble and was

824
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: a model citizen. And he's now owning a regional bank

825
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: or something like that by age forty. Was that a

826
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: bad thing? Was it a bad thing that those options

827
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: were available to him? I don't necessarily think so. Again,

828
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: the reason I say case by case is because the

829
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:31,760
Speaker 1: technological infusion that provides more options will destroy some kids' lives.

830
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: It just will. It'll also make some kids' lives. It

831
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: just will. It will fuel some kids who may have

832
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: only been at an eight on the Love of the

833
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: Game meter to go to twelve or thirteen and just

834
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: go off the charts because of being able to see

835
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: and experience more things. And it'll take some kids that

836
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: were going to be on the fence and distract them,

837
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: like you don't know what, and take their mind off

838
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: of what it should have been on, and it'll wreck

839
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: an otherwise promising career. It's just case by case. I

840
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,439
Speaker 1: can tell you this, though I'm around a lot of them.

841
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: It is tough when you get to the highest levels

842
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: of this sport. If you don't have zero point zero

843
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 1: one percent God given ability and you don't love it,

844
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: it's tough. It's really really tough for obvious reasons. Here's

845
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: the other thing. The guys who do love it know

846
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: the guys on the team who don't love it. And

847
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 1: you want to know, like oil and water mixing, what

848
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: it's like in a locker room. Imagine you are a

849
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: quarterback of a major program that has high expectation. You

850
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: know those expectations are married to you, and you know,

851
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: for better or for worse, how that team performs this fall.

852
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: It's going to impact your legacy. Okay, no one. No

853
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: one looks back at twenty twenty one or twenty twenty

854
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: two Georgia and thinks about Cedric van Pran. Cedric van

855
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: prim may be the best center in the country. No

856
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 1: one calls it the Cedric van Pran team. They call

857
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: it the Stets and Bennett team. So imagine for a

858
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 1: second being a quarterback on a team this upcoming year,

859
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,919
Speaker 1: knowing your legacy is on the line, your playoff hopes

860
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: are on the line, maybe your NFL draft stocks on

861
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: the line, and you're catching more balls off the jugs

862
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: machine in summer workouts than half your receiving corps. What

863
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: can you do? You can't go and bang on their

864
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: door and physically drag them to a voluntary workout. Now,

865
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 1: you want to know a conundrum. You want to know

866
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 1: one of the intangibles that goes into close wins and

867
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 1: close losses. That's it. How many of your guys are

868
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 1: really bought in? And for the guys who aren't bought in,

869
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 1: how many of them can you get to at least

870
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 1: fulfill their duty. It's why coaches get paid a lot

871
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: of money. It's why this is always going to be

872
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: an inexact science because you do have some guys in

873
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: your locker room that don't necessarily love it. They're good

874
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: enough to be there, but they don't love it. And

875
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:50,879
Speaker 1: you got some others who are willing to go over

876
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: the cliff facing the fan eight days a week, who

877
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: look at the ones who don't love it and wonder,

878
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: how in the world am I supposed to go to

879
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: war with you on Saturday? This is how and in

880
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 1: every program, every single season, And if it doesn't happen

881
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: in your program, you're probably about to win a national

882
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: championship because you found a way to get a leg

883
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: up on pretty much every other team out there. Good question,

884
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: really good question. Do me a favor. Please like the

00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: you really want to be a model citizen, just do both. Okay.

888
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: Bold predictions have entered Chapter eight. Bold predictions are quite

889
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 1: simply the things you claim you believe in, that you

890
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,839
Speaker 1: would bet your own money on. So let's go. Let's

891
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: dive in the first one tonight has to do with

892
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,399
Speaker 1: our two time. Some would say defending I just say

893
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 1: two time national champ Georgia Bulldogs Gresham from Kennesaw. George

894
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,720
Speaker 1: just says Carson Beck is going to break the Georgia

895
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: single season passing record with forty three hundred yards, especially

896
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: with the running back room being beat up. Well, first

897
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: thing we have to acknowledge is this would be lofty,

898
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: and then the second thing we have to ask ourselves

899
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: is well, what's the record. You don't have to go

900
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,959
Speaker 1: back too far. The record was set one year ago

901
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: Statson Bennett twenty twenty two. He threw for forty one

902
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty seven yards and that was fifteen games

903
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: because they won the national championship, of course, and won

904
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 1: the SEC title. Now, it should be noted Stat's an

905
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:27,320
Speaker 1: Info AKA producer Jesse tells me that three other Power

906
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 1: five quarterbacks eclipsed that number just last year alone. So yes,

907
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 1: this would be lofty by Georgia standards. But you know,

908
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: Georgia is not some cradle of quarterbacks that puts up

909
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: video game numbers every year. It's not their style, that's

910
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: not their mo They may be the best program in

911
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 1: the country right now, but that's not the way they've

912
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 1: gone about it. So these would not take astronomical statistical

913
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:52,280
Speaker 1: feats of strength. But it's a first year starter at quarterback.

914
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 1: Michael Pennix, Caleb Williams, and Drake May. By the way,

915
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: those are the three last year Washington, USC and North

916
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 1: Carolina that went above and beyond what this number would be.

917
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 1: They are really good at wide receiver this year, and

918
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: they may have the best tight end room in the

919
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: They have the best tight end room in the country.

920
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 1: It's not May and the running back room. I always

921
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: hesitate to say this because you know, Georgia's average is

922
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 1: better than a lot of programs special It won't probably

923
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:24,359
Speaker 1: be the most dynamic Georgia tailback stable ever. So on

924
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 1: the plus side, you have that. Now on the downside,

925
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: if you want to call this a downside, are they

926
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 1: gonna need this? Their schedule is what it is. Are

927
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: they really gonna need this? Are they gonna be in

928
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: many knockdown, drag out fights where Carson Back's got to

929
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,359
Speaker 1: be throwing the ball in the fourth quarter? I don't know.

930
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: Mike Bobo takes over his offensive coordinator, is that how

931
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna approach things? I think that may be a

932
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 1: little overblown. I think Boba's fine as offensive coordinator. Georgia's

933
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: defense statistically a third in preseason S and P plus,

934
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 1: so those would indicate to me, maybe out of necessity

935
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 1: even or lack of necessity, this won't happen. I'm gonna

936
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,280
Speaker 1: make this an eight point twenty five. This is pretty lofty.

937
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 1: Carson Beck's got a good arm, look really good in

938
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: the eight a game. Still pretty lofty, eight point twenty

939
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 1: five on the boldness scale. What about out in the

940
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: PAC twelve Maxim mayor, I hope that's his real name,

941
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 1: from Vancouver. He's from Vancouver, Washington, Jesse. I thought that

942
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 1: was in British Columbia. Maybe in some crazy in some

943
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: crazy world, there's a Vancouver in both of those province

944
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 1: and state. Anyway, Maxim says in the PAC twelve, no

945
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: one is gonna win double digit games this year. Oh

946
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 1: there's also a side B to this. It's like silver

947
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: Springs on side B on rumors travesty. He says, Late

948
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: Kick Tour is gonna come to Eugene for Oregon versus USC.

949
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 1: That's not a bold prediction. But that's not the real

950
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 1: prediction we're talking about here. The first one is the

951
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: prediction no double digit game winner in the big in

952
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: the in the entire PAC twelve this year. This is

953
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 1: an eight point five for me on the Bolden scale.

954
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,760
Speaker 1: As has been noted many times, it's a paper popping

955
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: stat right here. There are six teams, there is half

956
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,320
Speaker 1: a dozen of them out there that have a preseason

957
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 1: over under win total of eight and a half or higher.

958
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 1: USC is at ten, So a bunch of them are

959
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,879
Speaker 1: bunched up in that top tier. Southern Cows at ten,

960
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,280
Speaker 1: Oregon in Washington nine and a half, and then they've

961
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: got Utah, Oregon, State, UCLA. They're all at eight and

962
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: a half. Then there's this big drop off. One of

963
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: them is gonna win double digit games at least, So

964
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 1: I'm making this an eight point five on the Boldness scale.

965
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 1: Here's an interesting stat though, So if you're pulling for

966
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:43,319
Speaker 1: me to be wrong, if you're pulling for total cannibalism

967
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,760
Speaker 1: out there in the PAC twelve, of the six teams

968
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 1: in that group, the six teams that are in the

969
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:53,280
Speaker 1: top tier, five of them have to play at least

970
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:58,399
Speaker 1: four of the five others. So that sounds really convoluted.

971
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: It looks a lot neater on the pe of paper.

972
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 1: Then it sounded coming out of my mouth. All that

973
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: means is none of them dodge each other. They're all

974
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 1: gonna play each other. And so if you have a

975
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: bumper car cannibalism type scenario, and that's our that's our

976
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 1: quota for saying the word cannibal on the show. We

977
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 1: like to keep it under under two and a half

978
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 1: per show. If that were to if that were to

979
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,319
Speaker 1: be in the cards, you would assume, Well, that just

980
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 1: means they're all gonna have to play each other. That's

981
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: how that's gonna happen. Yes, they do pretty much all

982
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 1: play each other. And then you've got Southern Cal playing

983
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,359
Speaker 1: teams like Notre Dame in out of conference play, Oregon place,

984
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:32,720
Speaker 1: Texas Tech in out of conference play, Utah has Florida

985
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,439
Speaker 1: and Jesse. Who do they have in week two is Baylor? Yeah,

986
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:39,359
Speaker 1: so the out of conference is pretty strong out there.

987
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 1: Washington goes to Michigan State. Hope you guys have your

988
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: have your streaming subscriptions ready because that one's gonna be

989
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:50,359
Speaker 1: I think Peacock only, it's one of the streamers only. Yeah,

990
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. I don't I don't buy into this.

991
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 1: I think one of them is gonna win double digit games.

992
00:50:55,600 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 1: Speaking of double digits, Next up, Happy, You're just sports

993
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: fan is predicting that Texas beats Bama by double digits.

994
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 1: This is a Week two game in Tuscaloosa. We have

995
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:12,439
Speaker 1: a line on the game. Bama is favored by about

996
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: a touchdown, which is interesting because our buddy Tim Watts,

997
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: who I'm not supposed to acknowledge the existence of anymore

998
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: since he doesn't work here anymore. But it's okay, people

999
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 1: have tuned out by now in management. He hit me

1000
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 1: up and asked me, like, thirty minutes ago, is there

1001
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: a line on that game yet? Yes, Timothy, there is.

1002
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 1: Obama is favored by seven and Texas winning this game

1003
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 1: by double digits. Obviously, according to stats and Info, and

1004
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 1: according to the Trustee Late Kit calculator would mean you

1005
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:42,240
Speaker 1: need like a seventeen point deviation from the regular point spread,

1006
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: which sounds pretty sounds like a tough ask, right, except

1007
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: that it happened last year. Remember how this game was

1008
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: in Austin last year. I do I was on the field.

1009
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:56,359
Speaker 1: It was one hundred and fifty degrees, but I did

1010
00:51:56,440 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 1: meet Bevo in his most vulnerable state. Do you do

1011
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 1: you know? You know those animals. They got to do

1012
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,720
Speaker 1: their business just like you and I do. The difference

1013
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 1: is there is not a staffer that walks around behind

1014
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 1: you with a shovel for yours. Bevo has that? Do

1015
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 1: you know that I did? I found out firsthand. I

1016
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 1: got eye Josh footage of it. So last year, this

1017
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,840
Speaker 1: game's in Austin, Bama wins by one. They were favored

1018
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 1: by nearly three touchdowns. So we had a deviation from

1019
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:30,319
Speaker 1: points spread that big that day. Maybe it happens again

1020
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 1: this year. The difference if it happens this year is

1021
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 1: sound the alarms in Tuscaloosa, because if Texas walks out

1022
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: of there with a thirteen fourteen, seventeen point win, it's

1023
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, the world may spontaneously combust. Because I just

1024
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 1: realized this. You would have you know how you have

1025
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 1: two ships passing in the night. These would be two

1026
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 1: ships colliding in broad daylight if Texas beats Bama by

1027
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,839
Speaker 1: double digits, because that's what our man just predicted. Here

1028
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:03,240
Speaker 1: you have the Texas's back crowd on one street corner,

1029
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 1: and then like jets over here, sharks over here, you

1030
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: have the Bama's done crowd on the other corner, and

1031
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 1: then someone just rings the bell, chaos ensues. Both of

1032
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 1: those things happening in one afternoon. Good time to be

1033
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 1: in my line of work. I guess this is an

1034
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 1: eight and a half because I don't think it's gonna happen.

1035
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,839
Speaker 1: That's not fun. I know it's a little anti climactic.

1036
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: The last time, though, it's not impossible. Let me put

1037
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: it that way. The last time that this big an

1038
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 1: offensive threat came to Tuscaloosa I want to say, was

1039
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:42,759
Speaker 1: that twenty nineteen LSU game. I've got a story to

1040
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:46,440
Speaker 1: end all stories to tell about that game one day.

1041
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 1: It is a statute of limitations situation. That's how good

1042
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: the story is. I can't tell the story yet. I

1043
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: don't know what kind of jail I would go to, honestly,

1044
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: with the egregiousness of the offense that committed that day,

1045
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:05,439
Speaker 1: no one was harmed. It was a victimless crime. But yeah,

1046
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 1: that story bookmark that. But I was there that day

1047
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:11,319
Speaker 1: and watched Joe Burrow in LSU build a thirty three

1048
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 1: to thirteen lead on Bama, and it looked like they

1049
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 1: were about to run them out of the building. Now

1050
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 1: Bama made it close late, so no one remembers that

1051
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 1: I do. I remember it being early third quarter and

1052
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 1: LSU's up by like three touchdowns, and you're saying, is

1053
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: this really happening? It was. Now. What I didn't just do,

1054
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: in case you misheard me, is compare this year's Texas

1055
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 1: to twenty nineteen LSU. What I did say is it's

1056
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: pretty rare for a home crowd at Alabama to feel

1057
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:41,359
Speaker 1: truly vulnerable. That's the one thing I've picked up on

1058
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:45,359
Speaker 1: going to games there most of the time. I mean,

1059
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: over the last decade and a half, those folks have

1060
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 1: walked in understanding if it's gonna take something gargantuan happening

1061
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:54,840
Speaker 1: for us to actually lose today, Like they may not cover,

1062
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 1: but they're not gonna lose today. But every now and

1063
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 1: then there's an opponent that comes in that actually puts

1064
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,279
Speaker 1: fear in their heart. They'll never admit it publicly, but

1065
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: they're concerned. And you can always tell by how loud

1066
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: that stadium is Brian Denny Stadium that afternoon against LSU.

1067
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 1: Unlike any time I've ever been up there, this is

1068
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 1: going to be a night game. I would bet a

1069
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:22,239
Speaker 1: lot of money will be there for this one. Don't

1070
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:25,879
Speaker 1: miss that one, and I doubt you will. So I'm

1071
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: gonna make that one an eight and a half. Texas

1072
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 1: by double digits. Eight and a half. That's pretty bold,

1073
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 1: but not the most bold thing I've ever heard. Last

1074
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 1: one for tonight, how about Brady from Mason, Ohio. He's

1075
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 1: saying Ohio State's gonna have the best defense in the

1076
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 1: Big Ten this year. I don't think they are. I

1077
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:44,919
Speaker 1: don't think they need to, and I don't think they are.

1078
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: So this is an eight point seventy five for me

1079
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: on the boldness scale. Last year, Jim Nole's second year,

1080
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 1: they made a big jump statistically, and I don't think

1081
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 1: it's the craziest thing in the world to say they

1082
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 1: may do that again this year. I mean, defense won

1083
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 1: them the Penn State Game last year. J T Tuamloa

1084
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 1: just took over the game, and so I haven't forgotten

1085
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 1: any of that. But they were seventh in the Big

1086
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:09,799
Speaker 1: Ten last year, and coming into this year, like the

1087
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:15,360
Speaker 1: preseason defensive S and P plus they're thirteenth in the country,

1088
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 1: but they're seventh in the one, two, three, four five. Yeah,

1089
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 1: they's seventh in the Big Ten again. So a lot

1090
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 1: of good defenses in the Big ten. But like I said,

1091
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 1: they don't need it. They don't need to finish number

1092
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 1: one defensively. They just just get me up there in

1093
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 1: the top five and have quarterback halfway pan out and

1094
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,359
Speaker 1: they should be the favorites to win the conference. Well,

1095
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 1: let me scratch that, because I know what's coming from

1096
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: Ann Arbor. They'll be among the favorites to win the conference,

1097
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,360
Speaker 1: and that this would be an upset. I think Ohio

1098
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 1: State having the top defense in the conference would be

1099
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 1: an upset. So I'm gonna put it eight and a

1100
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 1: half on that one. I think the only thing more

1101
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:54,839
Speaker 1: upset than that would be me. As I look down

1102
00:56:54,840 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 1: at my phone and the weekly tradition has just occurred again.

1103
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 1: Cole kublic text during the live show. I don't know

1104
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 1: what to say at this point. It's just I don't

1105
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:11,720
Speaker 1: know what to say. I'm gonna move on. It doesn't

1106
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: warrant a response. A cole kuberlic text in the middle

1107
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 1: of your live show is like a baby Gronk's dad DM.

1108
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: You just ignore it, you just leave it unread and

1109
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,439
Speaker 1: you move on. We're doing the spotlight feature right now.

1110
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: The Pate State Spotlight feature is where we just we

1111
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 1: take the brightest white hot spotlight like a million candle power,

1112
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 1: and we shine it at one program per night, and

1113
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 1: you know where it is tonight, Baton Rouge Louisiana. Everything

1114
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 1: we need to know about LSU, at least as we

1115
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: sit here in June. The biggest questions, the first one

1116
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 1: for me and everyone down there, is the defensive backfield.

1117
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 1: The secondary. They went and portaled a secondary in Basically,

1118
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 1: I got Denver Harris. You know, in the last transfer

1119
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 1: of portal rankings updates, Denver Harris got upgraded to a

1120
00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: five star. Why well, because he was never he was

1121
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 1: never a risk physically. It was just an off the

1122
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 1: field thing with A and M last year. If he

1123
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:07,439
Speaker 1: has his head on straight, he's one of the best

1124
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 1: players in the country at his position, and he had

1125
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:12,920
Speaker 1: a great spring for LSU by all accounts according to

1126
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 1: our insiders down there, that's one. Now we got to

1127
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 1: have the rest of them pan out too, and maybe

1128
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 1: we'll have a really good secondary there. I know what

1129
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 1: history says, I know what logic says. Logic would tell

1130
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:26,959
Speaker 1: you you're not gonna hit one hundred percent on bringing

1131
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 1: in that many portal guys in one position. Room and

1132
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 1: I get that sentiment. For LSU's sake, they need to

1133
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 1: hope that that's not true. They need to hope they're

1134
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: the exception to the rule. And I'll tell you won't

1135
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 1: have to wait too long. They play FSU in Week one, Okay,

1136
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 1: so you won't have to wait long at all. But

1137
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, even if they get by, Even if they

1138
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 1: get by FSU and it's a weird, ugly week one

1139
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 1: game happens. Sometimes they go on the road in Week

1140
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 1: three and they play Mississippi State and it played Will Rodgers,

1141
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 1: most underrated quarterback in America. Let's see what that secondary

1142
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 1: looks like. We get a really really good feel that

1143
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 1: day for LSU. So as question number one, Question number

1144
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:07,720
Speaker 1: two is their own quarterback position. Jaden Daniels coming back

1145
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 1: this year. Jaden Daniels as a passer? How much can

1146
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: he improve? Is it reasonable for us to expect a

1147
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:18,919
Speaker 1: whole lot of improvement from him? Because we've pretty much

1148
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:20,760
Speaker 1: figured out who he is as a player. He's a

1149
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 1: really good player, but the skill set is what I'm

1150
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:26,439
Speaker 1: talking about. He's had fourteen games over the past two

1151
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 1: seasons where he's passed for under two hundred yards. He's

1152
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:33,800
Speaker 1: got more passing performances under two hundred than he does

1153
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 1: over two hundred. He runs the ball very well, so

1154
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 1: he makes up for it. But think about the conversation

1155
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 1: LSU's end. Now, this is not some let's win eight

1156
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 1: games and it'll be a nice story. They're in the

1157
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 1: thick of the SEC championship conversation. They're in the thick

1158
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 1: of the playoff conversation. They're gonna have to throw the

1159
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 1: ball better than Jaden Daniels has to this point in

1160
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: his career if they're gonna win at that level. So

1161
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 1: that's what God made spring for. That's what God lets

1162
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 1: you practice in the summer for by yourselves. And that's,

1163
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 1: of course, as me Mal would always say, what God

1164
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 1: made fall camp for. So we'll see about that question

1165
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 1: number three. How dynamic are the other offensive position rooms there?

1166
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 1: You know, we just talked about quarterback. Running back has

1167
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 1: been an issue for them for a long time. They

1168
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:26,200
Speaker 1: have not had premiere tailback talent in a long time

1169
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:30,919
Speaker 1: down there, the notable exception Clyde Edwards Hilaire, but by

1170
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 1: and large there's been more disappointment than fulfillment in the

1171
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 1: LSU running back room. Hopefully that's different this year. The

1172
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 1: wide receiver room behind maliite neighbors. What are we gonna see.

1173
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about Brian Thomas Junior in a second.

1174
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 1: You're going to have some depth of quality of performance

1175
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 1: in that room. See with both of those, the receiver

1176
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 1: room and the running back room. Uls you always has names.

1177
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 1: If you follow recruiting, you can look at the preseason.

1178
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 1: You can look at your preview magazine depth chart. Oh,

1179
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 1: all those names look good. They gotta out. That's what

1180
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: hasn't happened enough for them. So I'm interested. Very big

1181
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: question for me, how quality are those other position rooms?

1182
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 1: Offensive line I could also list there. I think they're

1183
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 1: getting better there though that was an issue for them

1184
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 1: for a while too. What is the best position group

1185
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: on this team? There's no place to go wrong in

1186
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 1: their front defensively, so I'm just gonna go linebacker, and

1187
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 1: you can go defensive line if you want to. They

1188
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 1: are deep there, they are versatile. There. Any position group

1189
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 1: that has Harold Perkins in it, I don't care if

1190
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,919
Speaker 1: he plays outside or middle this year or both, which

1191
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:36,760
Speaker 1: he full well has the capacity to do. Any room

1192
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:39,200
Speaker 1: who has him in there is all right by me.

1193
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 1: Omar Spates from Oregon State. They brought in gonna be

1194
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 1: another player that's probably under the radar cause you've got

1195
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 1: Perkins there, But they got some depth. They got a

1196
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 1: really really good pope prie of talent. I don't think

1197
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 1: I've used that word yet this year, and West and

1198
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:59,840
Speaker 1: wit weeks, a couple of brothers, a lot of alliteration

1199
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 1: in the LSU linebacker room. What about breakout players? You know,

1200
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 1: I think Mason Smith qualifies for this, even though he

1201
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 1: was a preseason All American last year. This is just

1202
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 1: being delayed by one year. So I thought he was

1203
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 1: going to be a breakout star last year, and I

1204
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 1: think he would have been, but he went down in

1205
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 1: Week one and against FSU. It put a really somber

1206
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 1: mood on the game, and LSU ends up losing the game.

1207
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:29,840
Speaker 1: And look, I looked at it and said, if there's

1208
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 1: one player they can't afford to lose, it's probably I mean,

1209
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 1: outside a quarterback, it's probably him. And they lost him

1210
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 1: and they won the West anyway, So don't let that

1211
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 1: get lost in all the Brian Kelly hype. Is he

1212
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 1: did it without well at the time, one of his

1213
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:48,480
Speaker 1: very best defensive players. Then we met Harold Perkins. They're

1214
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 1: both really good. So the other one on offense is

1215
01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas Jr. I just mentioned him a second ago.

1216
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 1: You look at the receiver room. They need a wide

1217
01:02:57,360 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 1: receiver too, They need depth, they need the other rung

1218

Speaker 1: Guys Like brian. Thomas junior the schedule analysis is INTERESTING.

1234
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 1: For lsu they open with, a very very tough out

1235
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 1: of conference opponent and a venue that should not be

1236
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 1: Housing a week one college. Football GAME but. I digress

1237
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:04,320
Speaker 1: at least. They're playing they play three of the Top

1238
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:09,440
Speaker 1: Fifteen national championship odds teams, THIS year Fsu, At BAMA

1239
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 1: texas A and m, one road, one neutral. One home, they,

1240
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: also though have a Really good, east draw so They

1241
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:20,600
Speaker 1: play florida. Every year florida has the worst odds In.

1242
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 1: The east this year is it Worse than, Vanderbilt though

1243
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 1: jesse two of the. Bottom, three okay so They play

1244
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 1: missouri and They. PLAY florida, i mean outside of just

1245
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: flat Out, drawing vanderbilt it's not gonna get much more

1246
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 1: manageable because There's no, georgia there There's no, tennessee there

1247
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 1: There's No. South carolina so they got it good on. That,

1248
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:43,480
Speaker 1: front also if they can get through the first half of,

1249
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:47,360
Speaker 1: the season and you look at the, back half they've

1250
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:49,840
Speaker 1: got the road Game at alabama that everyone's, got circled

1251
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:53,080

1253
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:57,600
Speaker 1: A and m all those are. At home they leave

1254
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:04,200
Speaker 1: home one Time after. October seventh so road heavy, first

1255
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:07,280
Speaker 1: half home heavy. Back half there's a, STRETCH there, i

1256
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 1: mean one of the toughest stretches aside From the. Bama

1257
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:13,440
Speaker 1: game they got a Game against arkansas, at home and

1258

1260
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:20,960

1313
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:58,840

1314
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:01,960

1315
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,760
Speaker 1: dawson the new offensive coordinator, down there and it's really

1316
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 1: interesting because there's this stigma about, him that, oh man

1317

Speaker 1: like there are a one hundred thousand reasons why things

1324
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:32,000
Speaker 1: happen the way, they do and it's always interesting to

1325
01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:34,080
Speaker 1: get it from the. COACH'S viewpoint i don't want to

1326

01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:56,639
Speaker 1: with cbs and behind us the offensive line when we're

1372
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 1: working out just. By themselves and if you, follow recruit

1373
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:03,840
Speaker 1: You know miami brought in two five star offensive tackles this,

1374

Speaker 1: from wilfong and the Guys That francis malagowa was like

1376
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:15,479
Speaker 1: a total different player than anyone else in. The CLASS

1377
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 1: so i. Walk in it takes like a nanosecond to

1378
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 1: pick him out from other guys who have been playing

1379
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:27,519
Speaker 1: college football three four or. Five Years space alien looks

1380

1381
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 1: Down there so here's. What happened they get done doing

1382
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:36,720
Speaker 1: their drill work and then they just went out there

1383
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 1: and started started. Messing AROUND and i WANT to i

1384
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:43,840
Speaker 1: want to emphasize. Messing Around. FRANCIS malagoa i don't know

1385
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 1: that he's, eighteen yet, just, huge massive like like he

1386
01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 1: was created in. A lab so he goes out there

1387
01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:54,479
Speaker 1: and STARTS running qb. For him they start running. Past

1388
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 1: routes he starts doing some play action. Type maneuvers the

1389
01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:00,640
Speaker 1: fluidity and the hips for someone that size. Is unbelievable

1390
01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:03,640
Speaker 1: then he goes out wide and this IS after i

1391
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:06,160
Speaker 1: had watched him one hand forty balls off the, jugs

1392
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:08,920
Speaker 1: machine by, the way consecutively without. A drop forty, ONE

1393
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:11,439
Speaker 1: actually i think was the number he wanted us to get.

1394
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 1: That right he starts running like twenty twenty five yard

1395
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 1: posts just over. The middle he looked like. A receiver

1396
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:21,800
Speaker 1: i don't know what else to. Tell you they got

1397
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:24,760
Speaker 1: a they got a massive. Offensive tackle there the true

1398
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 1: freshman five star that absolutely will start, for them that

1399
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:31,639
Speaker 1: will run pass routes like. A receiver i'm not talking about.

1400
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:35,400
Speaker 1: The speed i'm talking about the flu. The, quickness yes and.

1401
01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 1: The fluidity there's, nothing blocky there's. Nothing choppy there's no

1402
01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:43,560
Speaker 1: way someone should be able to move. LIKE that i

1403
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:47,160
Speaker 1: wished so badly that we could have. Gone live if

1405
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:51,760
Speaker 1: could have let you watch that kid just out there,

01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:39,640
Speaker 1: THAT'S an. Nfl venue you know my feel. On that

1459
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:42,160
Speaker 1: but they can't. Control that what they can control is

1460
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:44,000
Speaker 1: building a, brand new state of the art facility on

1461
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 1: campus for everything the else. They do and the other

1462
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:51,560
Speaker 1: thing they can control is full. Buy in that's The

1463
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:53,640
Speaker 1: thing christball. Talked about we were in the gym the

1464
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:56,640
Speaker 1: day before we. Interviewed him really good workout by. The

1465
01:15:56,640 --> 01:16:02,080
Speaker 1: way it takes care with the, pliometric too surprising fluidity

1466
01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 1: and mobility in the hips of the old head coach.

1467
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:06,599
Speaker 1: Down there but he was talking about what it took

1468
01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:08,840
Speaker 1: for him to sign the deal to go. Down there

1469
01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:13,040
Speaker 1: without getting too deep into the, finer points it took

1470
01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:15,760
Speaker 1: looking across, the Table Like kirby smart had to Do,

1471
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:19,600
Speaker 1: with georgia looking across the table, AND saying i want to.

1472
01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:22,840
Speaker 1: Come here this is home. FOR me i can't from a,

1473
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 1: business standpoint come here unless you check all of these

1474
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:28,679
Speaker 1: boxes and you just give them the piece, of paper

1475
01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:33,280
Speaker 1: and they. Checked them as of, That moment miami had

1476
01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:37,280
Speaker 1: everything they needed to. Win again it's, on him and

1477
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:39,920
Speaker 1: it's on. That program they're not uncomfortable. With that i'm,

1478
01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:44,040
Speaker 1: JUST saying, i mean that's. The, reality previously maybe there

1479
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:46,680
Speaker 1: were some excuses. Down there they don't have. Any excuses

1480
01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:52,040
Speaker 1: and so when everything you ask for, gets granted Just

1481
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:54,880
Speaker 1: like JIMBO at A, and m when everything you ask for,

1482
01:16:55,080 --> 01:16:58,040
Speaker 1: is granted all your wishes, are granted then it's only

1483
01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:00,160
Speaker 1: fair for, the fans and it's only fair for the

1484
01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:02,719

1487
01:17:08,160 --> 01:17:12,240
