1 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: They tell me I have five senses, I feel like 2 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 1: I have seventeen. On a night like tonight where we 3 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,240 Speaker 1: are jam packed, we are high atop of very on 4 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: guard downtown Nashville, Tennessee, Sunday, March fifteenth, the year Our Lord, 5 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. We're gonna do a full on college 6 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 1: football show. But then also we have severe weather bearing 7 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 1: down on us. I got to get us out of 8 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 1: here in a decent amount of time because they got 9 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: to make sure Bradley can get home. I don't want 10 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: him stuck on the roads in that kind of weather. 11 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: And so my two passions just colliding here tonight. And 12 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: then FanDuel hits us up and says, guess what win 13 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: totals for the season are out as well? What for 14 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: a few teams, know for the whole country. So we're 15 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: gonna talk about that tonight. I have several thoughts giving 16 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: you leans. I'm not just gonna share the news. Okay, 17 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: We're not just We're not just reporting tonight. We're actually 18 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: gonna take a stand, which I'm accused of not doing 19 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: in the spring. I'm gonna take a stand softly on 20 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 1: a lot of these teams. I've got spring intel all 21 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: over the place. We're gonna tell the truth about Dan 22 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: Landing tonight. We did not give him a heads up 23 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: it's coming, so he'll learn the truth about himself right 24 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: along with the rest of us. And I got a 25 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,839 Speaker 1: question about teams on the Clock, which was interesting because 26 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: you could go the route of this team needs to 27 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: win or the head coach is gonna get fired. But 28 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: you can also go the route of, hey, this team's 29 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: coach is not gonna get fired, but if not now 30 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: then when you know Clemson last year, Penn State last year, 31 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: although it turns out the coach didn't get fired there. 32 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 1: So we got a whole lot to get to. We're 33 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:50,639 Speaker 1: jam packed. They're watching us in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, Dallas, Texas, Gary, Indiana, Flora, Mississippi. People, 34 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: it's never been more important that you subscribe to the channel. Well, actually, 35 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: you can do it anytime you want, but just check 36 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: and make sure we're doing that thing right now again 37 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: where we're getting a lot of feedback from people when 38 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: I say this on the show, and the feedback sounds 39 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: like this, Hey, you always say subscribe to the channel, 40 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: and I never do it because I've thought I was 41 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: and then I checked and I wasn't subscribed, so just 42 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: check and make sure you are because it's free, so 43 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: it don't really change anything for you, but it helps us. 44 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: Speaker series starts this week. Can't tell you where we're 45 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,239 Speaker 1: going yet, but we got two big stops this week 46 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: and we will go all over the place for the 47 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: rest of spring, because what else are we going to 48 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: do sit around here? Our list dive in. Got a 49 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: lot of spring camps opening up. Nebraska's gonna wrap their 50 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: spring practice and have a game before. Some of these 51 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: places have even begun spring practice, so it's weird. Not 52 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: all the calendars just perfectly overlap. But for the teams 53 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 1: that have begun spring practice, we got our ear to 54 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: the ground. Ohio State has begun spring practice. You know 55 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 1: they're losing Caden McDonald, they're losing a lot defensively. But 56 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: at Ohio State sometimes you don't have to have heard 57 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: the names to just blindly assume they're going to be 58 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: pretty good. But in Ohio State's case, like Edric Houston, 59 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: yes we expect him. They expect him to backfill and 60 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: be a big time role player there. But here's what's interesting. 61 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: They got a couple of guys from Alabama in the 62 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: transfer portal, James Smith was one of them. And I 63 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: don't know about you. If you're an Ohio State fan, 64 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: you've probably heard this, but if you listen more and 65 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: more from around there, it sounds like they're really excited 66 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: about James Smith. And for that matter, if you look 67 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: at the edge position, ken Yata Jackson at the edge position, 68 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 1: he's back. He's going to be a big time playmaker 69 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: for him. But then what's another name you hear? Kway 70 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: Rusaw another Alabama transfer. So they got that pair of 71 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: guys from Alabama that, at least in the early portion 72 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: of springball, look to be checking all the boxes they 73 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: need him to check. Now. Zion Grady is probably a 74 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: guy who they have in house there that has a 75 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: higher overall upside, but he's a much younger guy. Legend 76 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: Bay continues to be a name. Did we hear that? 77 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: Ryan Day himself has mentioned a lot kind of comparing 78 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: him to Curtis Samuel from back in the day, just 79 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: having that hybrid potential, like you could play him in 80 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: thirty seven different roles offensively, and he is going to 81 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: be a really good player for them. I think for 82 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: a long time Okay, let's go down the road a 83 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: pretty good ways to Tallahassee, Florida. Florida State's got to 84 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: get it done this year. But before I mentioned what 85 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: they've got to do this year, I'm going to read 86 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: you some stats from last year because this is mind blowing. 87 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: Pretend like you didn't know I was talking about Florida State. 88 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: Pretend I just took the paper, popped it, as we do, 89 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: and I said, guess this team, Jesse. Guess a team 90 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: that was sixth offensively in yards per game last year 91 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: and they were twenty eighth defensively in yards per game 92 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: allowed last year. Who would that be? That would be 93 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: your five and seven Florida State Seminoles because they were 94 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifth in turnover margin. I watched them 95 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: last year. I've got all the stat profiles and all 96 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: the papers in front of me. But producer Jesse threw 97 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: that little fastball under the gen today and I couldn't 98 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: believe it. And I made him double check it. Did 99 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: we triple check that? We did? We triple checked it 100 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: even so, yeah, it's true. There's a little bit of 101 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: an underrated quarterback battle happening at Florida State underrated because 102 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: I think people are paying attention to high profile battles 103 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: out there, but Ashton Daniels and Kevin Sperry are battling 104 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: it out there now. I think if FanDuel were to 105 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: put odds out, and we haven't gotten to that point 106 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: in spring ball yet, but one of these days, maybe 107 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: FanDuel puts odds out on quarterback battles. Ashton Daniels would 108 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: probably be a solid favorite to win the job. But 109 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: it is a legitimate battle. It's not a cosmetic quarterback 110 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: battle as we sometimes have in spring ball. But behind that, okay, 111 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: let's get beyond that. Let's say Ashton Daniels does win 112 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,559 Speaker 1: the job. Oops, does he throwing the ball to? What's easy? 113 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: Douche Robinson? Guy had over a thousand yards last year? 114 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: Yes he did, Yes he did. So let me rephrase 115 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: the question beyond Douche Robinson, who's he throwing the ball to? 116 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: Because Stat's and Info second paper pop of spring Intel 117 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: has informed me. While Deuce Robinson did put up just 118 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: over one thousand yards receiving last year, wide receiver two 119 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: three and four combined for less yards than Deuce Robinson had. 120 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: Wide receiver two three and four for Florida State put 121 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: up a one thousand, seventy Javen Boggs. That's a name. 122 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: We've circled. That's a name. A lot of folks close 123 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: to the Florida State program have circled and told us 124 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: to watch out for. They're replacing an entire offensive line here. 125 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: They are leaning pretty heavily on the portal to do that. 126 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 1: And so when when you got that kind of dynamic, 127 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: you don't know. I am convinced in a lot of 128 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: cases that the coaching staffs themselves can't even know. How 129 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: would you know? How would you know? That? As me 130 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: Maw so articulately said back in the day, is why 131 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: God invented spring football. Now we go all the way, 132 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: we hop on the jet, we go out, we probably 133 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 1: land in Laredo to refill and refuel, and then we 134 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: get back up in the air and we go all 135 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: the way to Los Angeles and we talk about USC. 136 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: I got great news for everyone. If you're a USC fan, 137 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: I've got great news for you. If you're a USC hater, 138 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: I've got great news for you. We have been told 139 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: this team will look better physically than any team they've 140 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: had since Pete Carroll was there. That's good news if 141 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: you're a Southern Cal fan for obvious reasons. It's good 142 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: news if you're a hater too, because you don't think 143 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: there's anything under the hood at USC. You think it's 144 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: all cosmetic. You think that they always have good looking athletes, 145 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: You think that they can win a competition getting off 146 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: the bus. They look great on magazine covers, but when 147 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: it comes time to get the job done, Lincoln Riley's 148 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: gonna choke every time. That's what a USC hater would 149 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: sound like. I know, because we have a lot of 150 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: them in our audience. Well, it feels like they're seeing 151 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: the effect at Southern Cal of that strength and conditioning 152 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: overhaul they did a little over a year ago, and 153 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: we were told to watch out for that at the time. 154 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: A lot of folks around USC said, we are making 155 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: several changes here. One of them that won't be talked 156 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: about so much outside of our world is strength and conditioning. 157 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: And they did and look been given a pretty good 158 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: heads up from several different people. You just watch a 159 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: year from now, Well it's a year from then, and 160 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: we're seeing it. Okay, So now spring football starts and 161 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: I've got on top of that the number one recruiting 162 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: class in the country on campus. Several of those true 163 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: freshmen seem like they're gonna be contributors. I'll give you 164 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:25,559 Speaker 1: one right now, Luke Wayfel five star edge player, sixty 165 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: five two, sixty five, extremely long, extremely versatile. I think 166 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: you'll see him on the field this year. My concern, 167 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: interestingly enough, with Southern Cal is at the wide receiver position. 168 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: And I have maintained and I still maintain that if 169 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: my biggest concern about a USC team outside of a 170 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, the line of scrimmage is getting figured out, 171 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: and that's kind of a concern for everyone this time 172 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 1: of year. But if my biggest concern about USC is 173 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: either quarterback, which is not this year, or receiver, which 174 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: it is, and the head coach is Lincoln Riley, I'm 175 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: gonna at the very least count on him to fill 176 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,599 Speaker 1: those buckets with enough to get the job done. So 177 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: they got a kid named Terrell Anderson from NC State. 178 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: He's a transfer receiver. He looks like a guy who 179 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be able to count on. But also Trent 180 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: Moseley is a true freshman. I know it's halfway through springball. 181 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: I'd be very surprised if he wasn't a big time 182 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 1: role player in the slot position specifically for them. And 183 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: Caden Dixon Wyatt, that's another freshman. Those are just two 184 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: names that have emerged pretty early in USC camp out there, 185 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:29,719 Speaker 1: so let's keep an eye on that. But just I'm 186 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: gonna go back to what I said, because right now 187 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: it's March fifteenth, so got a long way to go 188 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: until they open up against whoever it is. They opened 189 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: up against San Jose State and week zero, that's a 190 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: week zero game. Yeah, I'm telling you they're gonna look different, 191 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: that's all I'm telling you. They're just gonna look different. 192 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 1: Will they play different? I don't know. We got a 193 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: little ways to figure that out. Clemson. We man, We're 194 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 1: going all across the country, Clemson, So interesting times here. 195 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: Dabo's obviously still there. But as you may or may 196 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: not remember, Garrett Riley a few years back was a 197 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: big time edition. Well, we were all excited about it. 198 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: I was excited about it. Dabo finally has learned and 199 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: going outside the program for a big time oc Hire 200 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: Riley was at TCU I think he was, and so 201 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: we went and he got Garrett Riley as his offensive coordinator. 202 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: That was going to be a big deal, and it 203 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: really just never clicked the way that I thought it would. 204 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: So Garrett Riley's gone and they brought in Chad Morris. Okay, 205 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: And that was probably where the story was going to 206 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 1: end until week one until Dabo got asked about it 207 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,839 Speaker 1: the other day and I got a quote for you. 208 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: It's on the screen right now if you're listening on podcasts. 209 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:52,079 Speaker 1: This was Dabo Swiney speaking about his departing coordinator and 210 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: incoming coordinator. He said, quote, it was fun to learn 211 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: something different and all that, but it's like being back 212 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: in America, living in Spain for three years. I'm back 213 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: to living in Pelham, Alabama, unquote. So there's that Chris 214 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 1: Fazina is there. Chris Fazina finally going to be the 215 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: starting quarterback at Clemson. I feel like I've been looking 216 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 1: forward to the Chris Fazina era for oh the better 217 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: part of a decade or so. So that's finally here. 218 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: He's a big dude now, six four to two ten. Jess. 219 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: You remember we saw him at a lead eleven way 220 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: back in the day, way a long time ago, and 221 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: Chad Morris is coming in there. Now, here's the thing. 222 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: Here's what we're hearing out of Clemson right now. It's springball. 223 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: You're installing what for Dabbo is not a new offense, 224 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: but for the kids on that roster is a new offense, 225 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,599 Speaker 1: and there's a lot more tempo as a piece, a 226 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: foundational piece of this offense. So they're kind of struggling 227 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: with that. And then also you got a bunch of 228 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: new receivers, so they're kind of just got new players 229 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 1: all over the place, so they're kind of struggling with 230 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: that as well. Courtney Kelly is a transferred defensive tackle 231 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 1: and he looks to be out for a little while. Now. 232 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 1: I don't know how long it's going to be, but 233 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 1: that's a pretty big hit for them. But I will 234 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: say this, one of the encouraging things that you keep 235 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: on hearing from a couple of different people now is 236 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: when Tom Allen came in there and took over his 237 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 1: DC last year, they went through the year, one of 238 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 1: his quick observations was, we're not fast enough in our secondary. 239 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: That's really what we got to do. And they went 240 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: and targeted specifically speed in the secondary, and they brought 241 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: in some guys there. Yeah, I know that's a sentence 242 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: that we're not used to saying what Clemson did in 243 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: the portal, but they did go get guys in the portal. Jesse, 244 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 1: what would you say? Three? Probably three guys, maybe three 245 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: or four in the secondary, that our starters will be 246 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: portal guys. We asked him to consider it. Him being Dabbo, 247 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: he has considered it. Let's se if it pays off. 248 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: And lastly, at Nebraska, Nebraska last year, at this time, 249 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: we were all looking forward to the rule year three effect. 250 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: And also he had gotten Dana Holgerson as coordinator, and 251 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,839 Speaker 1: we had Dylan Riola returning starter at quarterback. This was 252 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: gonna be the year they were sixty eighth passing yards 253 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: per game, they were eightieth in rushing yards per game. 254 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: And Dylan Riola has subsequently departed Lincoln, Nebraska. And as 255 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: you'll notice, not a whole lot of whaling, not a 256 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: whole lot of gnashing of teeth, just kind of a 257 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: all right, we tried it out, it didn't work. Good 258 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: luck to you at Oregon, good luck to us with 259 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: Kenny minschee. Oh wait, Kenny Minschie just said bye. He 260 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: is not coming here. He's going to Kentucky. What are 261 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: we gonna do. We're gonna go to UNLV. We're gonna 262 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 1: get Anthony Calandria. Now I have a sneaking suspicion this 263 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: is gonna work out. It's just one of those college 264 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: football stories. It's kind of like when last year with 265 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: Austin Simmons going down at ol Miss and then in 266 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: comes this backup quarterback from Farris State that no one's 267 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: heard of, and then all of a sudden you're in 268 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: the playoffs. And that's just like a college football story. 269 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: And you see versions of that every year. Not always 270 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: stood that extreme, but there's always this sort of man 271 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: who could have seen this coming, Whomstead have seen this coming. 272 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: I think maybe this year's whom stoad have seen this coming. 273 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,719 Speaker 1: Special is Anthony Calandria. The quarterback that Nebraska didn't want 274 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: to have to worry about going to get out of desperation, 275 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: ends up being the perfect fit for that offense. Like 276 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: I am very convinced that they will improve their offensive 277 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: numbers this year, specifically because of what that kid can 278 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: do offscript, doubly specifically because of what he can do 279 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: in the run game, and they got a UCLA transfer 280 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: at wide receiver Quasi Gilmer and at linebacker Owen Chambliss. 281 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: Those are two names. That's a linebacker from San Diego State, 282 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: by the way, those are two names that are standing 283 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: out for Nebraska. Starting to get that itch, Jesse, the 284 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: Nebraska itch. We've gotten it the last two years we've 285 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: taken over. They've missed by half a game each time. 286 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: But that just means keep betting it and eventually it 287 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: will hit. And I got a long time to talk 288 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: myself into nine or ten wins for Nebraska. Long time. 289 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: A lot of runway. Okay, I can't even see the 290 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: end of the runway, that's how much runway we have 291 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: right now. Spring intel, it's a beautiful time of year. 292 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: Nebraska's spring game is the twenty eighth, right March twenty eighth. 293 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: And who like, there are teams that haven't started spring ball. 294 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: Oregon will not have started. When does Oregon start spring ball? 295 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: Jesse's googling, Jesse, you don't have all the spring dates memorized. 296 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: Why are you here? What are you even doing? It's distracting. Yeah, 297 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: So Matt Rule swears by this. Now, Matt Rule says, 298 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: I'm never going back to a late spring. Go ahead. 299 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: UCLA starts April second, Nebraska raps spring ball March twenty eighth. 300 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: The cold weather team wraps spring football before the warm 301 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: weather team begins spring football. Okay, to each his and 302 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: her own, I guess let's move on. What a text 303 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: we got the other day. I'm just minding my own business, 304 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: as you do this time of year, Friday, and I 305 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: get a text from FanDuel Mike, and FanDuel Mike says, 306 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: the following win totals are out. Okay, okay, And I 307 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: thought he meant a few teams, because remember they dropped 308 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: Arkansas on us, and there were like three teams that 309 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: had win totals out for a while, so I thought 310 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: he meant a new batch of teams had been released. 311 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: Oh no, FanDuel Mike when he texted me that it 312 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: might as well have been in all caps. All the 313 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: teams are out, All of the p fours at least 314 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: that I can tell, are out, and maybe everybody that's out. 315 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: So here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go buy 316 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: conference here. I'm not gonna do them all tonight. I 317 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: think we're gonna save some of this for Thursday, you know, 318 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: because it is March, so the season is still quite 319 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: a ways away. We don't have to just like empty 320 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: the entire bucket tonight, Bradley, here's a good endpoint for you. 321 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: SEC win totals are out at FanDuel. This right now 322 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: makes it no longer hypothetical. If you think that Ryan 323 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: Silverfield is going to come in and turn around Arkansas overnight, 324 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: you don't just have to say it. You can go 325 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: to FanDuel right now because Arkansas over under is at 326 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: four and a half and you can just sledgehammer that 327 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: over repeatedly, which you can legally do in Arkansas now. 328 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: By the way, so right now you can see on 329 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: the screen, or if you're listening on podcasts, just go 330 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: to FanDuel. You can see all the team totals, even 331 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: if you don't intend on betting it. That's where you 332 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 1: can find all of this information. Here's what stood out 333 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 1: to me. Look at that screen, that right there is 334 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: further confirmation about my theory that the SEC has become 335 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: more like the Big Twelve than the Big Twelve was 336 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: for a long time. For a long time, this was 337 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: the Big twelve where you have thirteen teams currently on 338 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: this board with an over underwin total between six and 339 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: a half and nine and a half. No team is 340 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: higher than nine and a half. All but three teams 341 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 1: in the league are between six and a half and 342 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: nine and a half. That was the Big twelve. It 343 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: was so compressed and there's no real tip of the iceberg. 344 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,360 Speaker 1: It's just like a whole bunch of teams compressed into 345 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: this one group. Meanwhile, in the Big twelve, Texas, tex 346 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 1: kind of pulled away a little bit. So let's dive 347 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 1: in here. I'm gonna give you some leans. These are very, 348 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 1: very tentative leans, and I reserve the right to change 349 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: my mind on these. LSU stands out to me immediately, 350 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: so full disclosure. On Friday, when FanDuel released these numbers, 351 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: LSU opened at eight and a half. Then they shot 352 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: up to nine and a half. Now the juice is 353 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: moving there. These aren't all even juice right now. I 354 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: lean a little bit under. If you're throwing nine and 355 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:51,919 Speaker 1: a half at me, If LSU's got to go ten 356 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: and two for this over to hit, I'm leaning more 357 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: towards nine and three being more realistic. It assumes so 358 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: much about these transfers working out about Lane Kiffen working 359 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: out in year one, and they could even start hot 360 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 1: in this understill hit because they end with Alabama Tennessee 361 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: at Texas at Arkansas. So Bradley, do me a favor 362 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: if you've got LSU schedule there it is right now. Okay, 363 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: they got Clemson at home. They're gonna be a double 364 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: digit favorite against Clemson in week one. Let's just assume 365 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: for a second glass mostly full with LSU. Let's go 366 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: Clemson win, Louisiana, tach win. Let's take them to Oxford 367 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,360 Speaker 1: and win, and Texas A and M comes in there. 368 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: There's a world where they start five and oh, but 369 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: it still gets really tough down the stretch there. But 370 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: here's another thing that could happen. Okay, let's still go 371 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: Clemson in Louisiana tach As two wins to start the year. 372 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: So LSU's two and oh. You're telling me you couldn't 373 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: see a world where they go oh and two the 374 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: next two weeks like those are gonna be tough games 375 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 1: at Ole Miss and Texas A and M back to back, 376 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: so they could go two and two there either way. 377 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: You know you got that March in November where you 378 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: got Bama Texas at Tennessee at Arkansas. I think nine 379 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 1: and three in many scenarios could have LSU as a 380 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 1: fringe playoff team. So if I hit an under and 381 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: LSU can still go nine and three, I would lean under. 382 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: If the totals nine and a half. Right now, I 383 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: am going to go another under here. I don't get 384 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: this movement on South Carolina. So South Carolina it's another team. 385 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: They opened at five and a half. Then South Carolina 386 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: jumped to six and a half, and I gotta lean under. 387 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: If you're throwing six and a half at me with 388 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: South Carolina, I don't really get the movement. So there 389 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: are two layup games. As you can see, Weeks one 390 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: and two should be layups kent State and Towson. So 391 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: we're pretty much starting two and oh there or else 392 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 1: The under is clearly going to hit, So let's say 393 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: two and oh. Then there are three games Mississippi State, 394 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: Kentucky and Arkansas that are just elsewhere on this schedule. 395 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: They could go three and oh, they could go one 396 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: and two there, let's go two in one in those games. 397 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: So we've already got four wins there. You've still got 398 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 1: to find me three more wins and the other teams 399 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: on their schedule, guys are like at Alabama at Florida, 400 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: Tennessee at ou Texas A and m Georgia at Clemson, 401 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: And you got to find me three wins in there. 402 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think that five and a half 403 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: number was right. If you're gonna try and sell me 404 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: on six and six, okay, I think I got to 405 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: have a little bit too much go right to be 406 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: banking on seven and five for South Carolina. So I 407 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: would lean lean under right now at six and a half. Now, 408 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: there's a six and a half out there that I 409 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: don't think looks right, and that's Oklahoma. So Oklahoma's coming 410 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: off a playoff visit a playoff appearance. Oklahoma opened at 411 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: six and a half. It's just too low. The other 412 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: teams with totals at six and a half in the 413 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: SEC South Carolina, Missouri, Auburn, Vanderbilt, and then Oklahoma. One 414 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: of those rosters is just not like the other rosters. 415 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: Oklahoma as of an hour ago with six and a half, 416 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: and you're telling me, since we researched, they moved up 417 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: to seven and a half. Why did you have to 418 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: tell me? No One would have known. No one would 419 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: have known. But we're live, pal Well, I would like 420 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: to confirm that I was right. Oklahoma six and a 421 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: half was too low. I contributed to this because I 422 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: bet Oklahoma over six and a half earlier today. Let 423 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,399 Speaker 1: me tell you why I did. It's kind of the 424 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: same deal as last year. They opened at six and 425 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: a half. Last year I bet the over. They went 426 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: ten and two in the regular season, and they did 427 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,360 Speaker 1: that with Matier hurt, and then when he came back, 428 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: it was kind of like a sputtering version of their offense. 429 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 1: It didn't help that they couldn't run the ball to 430 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: save their lives, and yet they still went ten and two. 431 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,919 Speaker 1: Why because they could play elite defense. So I'm going 432 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: to count on the floor defensively for Oklahoma to be 433 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: pretty good, really good. So let's say top twenty defense 434 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 1: this year. I'll even bake in that they fall off 435 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: a little bit, but I get my teer back, I 436 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 1: got a really good receiver room. I'm just gonna trust 437 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 1: that they can do this year what Georgia did last year, 438 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 1: which is improved fairly significantly running the ball. And you're 439 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: telling me, well, as of an hour, go seven and 440 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: five would have won here. Yeah. Look, if I were 441 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: really pressed on this, there may still be value on 442 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: the over at seven and a half. But I didn't 443 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: bet that. I don't want to be very clear. I 444 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: bet six and a half. So good for us for 445 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: being ahead of the curve there by an hour. I've 446 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: got another over, Jesse, what's Georgia ads? Georgia is still 447 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: at what we had him at an hour ago. We 448 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: need to tell Fanuel to freeze numbers for us, because 449 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: that's how markets work. We just freeze them at our leisure. Yeah, 450 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: george is at nine and a half. This number is 451 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: too low. Georgia over at nine and a half. I've 452 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: locked this in already. There are four other teams with 453 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: a win total of eight and a half or higher 454 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: in the SEC. Georgia faces one of those teams, and 455 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: that is Alabama. There's no Texas, there's no LSU, there's 456 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: no Texas A and M on this schedule. They get 457 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: the Florida game in Atlanta this year because Jacksonville's under construction, 458 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: the roster continuity, the staff continuity, it's Georgia that should 459 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 1: be its own bullet point. And also think about how 460 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: good they were in one possession games last year, so 461 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna count on Georgia to give me an over 462 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: at nine and a half. And then I was looking 463 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: at ol Miss, so there were some slight leans I 464 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: had that I wasn't really ready to just do a 465 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: part of the segment on I have a little bit 466 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: of an ole Miss investment strategy right now. So ole 467 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: Miss got released at seven and a half. Over under 468 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 1: seven and a half wins. I think that there is 469 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: a little element of if slash when the final Pete 470 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: and Nakos headline comes Trinidad Chambliss, all the court cases 471 00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 1: are settled, he's playing this year, I think there may 472 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: be enough juice in the market kind of pun intended 473 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: to bump this up to eight and a half. So 474 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 1: I've already taken a little bit of old Miss over 475 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: at seven and a half. I think there could be 476 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,360 Speaker 1: a little middle opportunity here to hit that under once 477 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 1: it gets to eight and a half, because eight and 478 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: four seems reasonable for ole Miss this year. So I 479 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 1: looked at that Alabama's kind of attractive at over eight 480 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: and a half, and my simple think in there, although 481 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: I'm not putting anything on it right now, my simple 482 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: think in there was what are the three toughest games? 483 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: George's one of them. Let's say at LSU is another one, 484 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: and what Texas A and M probably the third one. 485 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: They could lose all three of them. So hit the 486 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,479 Speaker 1: over as long as you go beat Tennessee, don't get upset. 487 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 1: Florida State's on the schedule. We know that's no gimme. 488 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: I would lean over with Alabama and what kind of 489 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: action is Texas going to get? So Texas was at 490 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: nine and a half. But if you really feel like 491 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: Texas is going to be elite this year, it doesn't 492 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: matter how hard their schedule is. It just doesn't matter. 493 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: They got Ohio State in Week two. If Texas is 494 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: elite this year, they'll beat Ohio State. It will kind 495 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: of make the game look like it looked in Columbus 496 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: last year, but turn the hour glass upside down. They'll 497 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: go to Tennessee and win. They'll beat Oklahoma in Dallas. 498 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: They'll be like an eleven and one team. If Texas 499 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: is elite this year, that's what they'll look like. That's 500 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: what they'll have the capability to do. Now. I didn't 501 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: put anything on it, but those win totals in the SEC. 502 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,719 Speaker 1: There is nobody with a double digit win total right now. 503 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: We're going to continue this momentarily. I did want to 504 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: quickly tell you we've been mentioning. We've been mentioning the 505 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,479 Speaker 1: pate State store, which is open. Earlier today, guy hit 506 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 1: me up he had purchased one of the pate State 507 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: Little Freights t shirts. Some say our childware is better 508 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: than our adult wear. Those aren't official terms, but there's 509 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 1: no tab that says childware. I don't think he got 510 00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: a childice of supremacy out of it. I was feeling 511 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: very generous. So Prez is going to be shipping them 512 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: a challice of supremacy probably tomorrow. A little late to 513 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: get something in the mail today, But anyway, whether you 514 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 1: are two years old or ninety two years old, there 515 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 1: is something in the peyt State store for you. Paintstatemterial 516 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: dot com. There you see some examples over my shoulder 517 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: right now as we speak. Appreciate you guys watching live 518 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 1: by the way, if you are or if you're listening 519 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: to the replay, it makes no difference. Just make sure 520 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: you subscribe to the channel. It wasn't just SEC win 521 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 1: totals that were released Big Ten win totals are posted. Now. 522 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 1: This is where it gets a little bit fascinating, because 523 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 1: the big story in the Big Ten has been that 524 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: there's been like a Tier one and then there's pretty 525 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: big separation, and then there's like a sandbag on the 526 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 1: bottom of the league, and there's just a lot of 527 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: gross at the bottom of the Big Ten. If this 528 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: graphic on our screen right now is to be believed, 529 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: that continues this year because there are two teams Indiana 530 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: and Oregon, that both have over underwin totals of ten 531 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: and a half. As for teams that have totals of 532 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: five and a half or lower, the Big Ten has 533 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: seven of them. The SEC, by comparison, has three. So 534 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: that's kind of how the perception of the sport is 535 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: right now. The top of the SEC doesn't quite match 536 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 1: the top of the Big Ten, but the bottom of 537 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 1: the Big ten way worse than the bottom of the SEC. 538 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: You just Rutgers, Maryland, UCLA, Northwestern Minnesota, those teams all 539 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: under six and a half. Then you got Wisconsin Nebraska 540 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: at six and a half. But the top three makes sense, 541 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: Like I'm not even really going to talk a whole 542 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: lot about Indiana, Oregon, and Ohio State. Ohio State's total 543 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: is nine and a half because their schedule is tougher 544 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: this year. Now, we do have it on pretty good 545 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: authority that if Oregon and or Indiana had Ohio State schedule, 546 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: they would also have totals of nine and a half. 547 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 1: So there's a there. Obviously, there's a huge schedule piece 548 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: that gets baked into this. But the first team I 549 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: want to talk to you about is not Ohio State. 550 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about Penn State because 551 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: Penn State. Penn State has an over underwent total of 552 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: nine and a half your one though new coaching staff, 553 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: a lot of roster churn right well, the coach that's 554 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: coming in there churned a lot of his old roster 555 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: in there, and the schedule is workable. I lean over 556 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: nine and a half wins for Penn State. What a 557 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: world in which we live. So the big three on 558 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: this schedule usc October tenth, at Michigan the next week, 559 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: and then they got a trip to Washington in early November. 560 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: If I could just get two in one there, if 561 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: Matt Campbell's watching tonight, but if you can just go 562 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: two and one there, I feel pretty good, and because 563 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: of all the newness, I do need to remind you 564 00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: they don't play any of those teams until week six. 565 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: Their first five weeks are Marshall at Temple Buffalo, Wisconsin 566 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: at Northwestern. Just a garbage, inexcusably bad out of conference schedule, 567 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: but you're not allowed to criticize Big ten out of 568 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: conference schedules. And so then we get to USC in 569 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: week six and Southern Cow's got to go two Penn 570 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: State just basically like flying to Russia for USC, and 571 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: then we're off to the races. They play five of 572 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: the bottom seven teams in the Big ten odds. There's 573 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: no Oregon here, there's no Ohio State, there's no Indiana. 574 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: I think they're going to be able to win ten 575 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: games this year. So I lean pretty solidly Penn State 576 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: over nine and a half. Now I've got to balance 577 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: it out with an under, and for that we go 578 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: to Illinois. I wrestled with this, but Illinois being at 579 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: seven and a half, it's a slight underlean for me. 580 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: Eight wins last year, right, Jesse. So they went eight 581 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: and four last year and nothing's really wrong with them 582 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: this year. I just think they replace a whole lot, 583 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: and I think there's a little bit too much of 584 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five baked into this number. The defense took 585 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: huge hits, and it could be that Brett Bieliman just 586 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: snaps his fingers and magic happens and they're as good, 587 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: if not better, in which case, oh well, I lose 588 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: twenty bucks. But they did draw Ohio State and Oregon, 589 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: and there is certainly a scenario where Illinois just goes 590 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: nine to three this year. I'm kind of banking on 591 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: with so much newness, they end up on the wrong 592 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: side of some one possession games. And there's that group 593 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: of teams like Nebraska, Iowa, even like at Northwestern. It's 594 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: kind of the perfect time for them to play duke. 595 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: But I kind of just wonder about a lot of 596 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: these games, like at Michigan State, even Pat fitzgerald year 597 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: one magic. I kind of think there was some one 598 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: possession games in there. Maybe they end up on the 599 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: wrong side of them. But I don't know. I've not 600 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: made a good career of going against Brett Beelima, so 601 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: I wouldn't you know, in retrospect, ignore the last minute 602 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: and a half of the show. I wanted to be 603 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: on a record but ignore the last minute and a half. 604 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: Now this next minute and a half I feel pretty 605 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: good about. And if we know one thing about me 606 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: when it comes to over underseason win totals, it's pay 607 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: attention when I talk about Nebraska. Two years ago, I 608 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: took Nebraska over. They missed by a half a game. 609 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: Last year I took Nebraska over, they missed by half 610 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: a game. I am now fearlessly and boldly and proactively 611 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 1: taking Nebraska over six and a half wins. And let 612 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: me tell you why. Matt rule year four. That's why. Yes, 613 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: forget Matt Rule year three. It's Matt Rule year four. 614 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: They missed it by a half game. The last two years. 615 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 1: They will be upgraded on offense, Mark my words, they 616 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: will be. They will not be in the sixties and 617 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: the eighties in passing and rushing offense, respectively. This year 618 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: they did low key excellent work in the portal, even 619 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 1: though they did not target Anthony Calandria at quarterback. He 620 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: will just work out for them, because that's how college 621 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: football happens. It will work out for them. Now here's 622 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: the problem. Look at the schedule. Hot starts have not 623 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: been a problem for Nebraska. Garbage finishes have so they 624 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: play Ohio and then Bowling Green and then North Dakota 625 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: and then Michigan State and then Maryland. I'm counting on 626 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: five and oh at that point. Now here's the downside. 627 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: You get a little overconfident because if they're five and 628 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: oh and you're thinking, man, I just need two more wins. Okay, Well, 629 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 1: then Indiana comes to town, and then they go to Oregon, 630 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: and then a vastly improved Washington team comes to town, 631 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: and then comes the two week stretch. You gotta go 632 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: on the road for both of them. But there's a 633 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: two week stretch, and that's your moment because all we 634 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: got we just got to win either at Illinois or 635 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: at Rutgers. And I can tell there's a wobbly tire 636 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: and there's a little bit of steam coming from under 637 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: the hood. But it's just Illinois and Rutgers. We just 638 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 1: got to win one of them. Boom, boom, your minus 639 00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: two turnovers in each game, you lose both of them. 640 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: Ohio State comes and splatters you, and then you're on 641 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: the road in Iowa City the last week of the season, 642 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: trying to get yourself to seven and five. I don't 643 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 1: want that but I could see it. So how about 644 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: we just take care of Washington when they come to Lincoln, Nebraska. 645 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: Washington has no business winning and Lincoln Nebraska come on now. 646 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 1: So I think we can get seven wins? Dare I 647 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: say we can get eight win? No? Seven? Seven, I'll do. 648 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: Seven'll do. A lot of hands went up, justifiably some 649 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: in the control room. Seven'll do. Lastly, I'm going to 650 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:41,359 Speaker 1: take another over in the Big Ten. That's Wisconsin. Wisconsin's 651 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: over underwent total to six and a half. I am 652 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 1: a hard over lean on Wisconsin this year. There's no 653 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,720 Speaker 1: Ohio State on the schedule. Nor is there an Oregon 654 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,240 Speaker 1: on this schedule. Nor is there an Indiana on the schedule, 655 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 1: nor is there a Michigan on this schedule. Who did 656 00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: they play in the Big Ten? Good question? Six of 657 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: the them seven teams in the odds, that's who they 658 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: play in conference play. Now. They do have Notre Dame 659 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: out of conference, but we ran the numbers. They could 660 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: lose to Notre Dame and Penn State and USC and 661 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 1: Iowa and they can afford two more losses. And you 662 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,240 Speaker 1: add in all that with the fact that Luke Fickle 663 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 1: is still a good football coach, even if he made 664 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: some wrong moves at the outset and everything's on the 665 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: line up there. This is a slam dunk, must win season. 666 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,279 Speaker 1: It is a prove it moment for Luke Fickle, and 667 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,800 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna trust him. Backed into a corner. We 668 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 1: all know how a badger acts backed into a corner. 669 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 1: Luke Fickle's no different. They're one and the same. At 670 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: this point, you're telling me that I can't get seven 671 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: wins this year. It's Wisconsin seven wins. Yeah, I can 672 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: get it, So I'll take over on Wisconsin as well. 673 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 1: Very scary times outside right now. We had a fifty 674 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: one mile per hour wind gust at BNA. That's Nashville's 675 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,880 Speaker 1: airport for the uninformed. Earlier, which brought us to this 676 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 1: next question. Checking a brief detour our college football will 677 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: resume in a second, Oscar said, when will you go 678 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: storm chasing again? And will you ever go live when 679 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 1: you do? Excellent question, Oscar. I may go as recent 680 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:19,399 Speaker 1: or as soon as like two hours from now, but yes, 681 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 1: yes we will stream. Yes we will live stream. That's 682 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 1: all I can say right now. Yes we will. Did 683 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: I give enough information? Yes we will. Yeah. So here 684 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,760 Speaker 1: is the dilemma. I can't answer that because I myself 685 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 1: don't have like a weather YouTube channel. Now, when we're 686 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:45,360 Speaker 1: with someone, and we chase with many very very esteemed, 687 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 1: very very high profile people in the chase community, they stream. 688 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: So look, if I was with Brad Arnold tonight, which 689 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 1: I'm not because he's already over in Mississippi somewhere, you 690 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,360 Speaker 1: just go watch Brad Arnold stream. But we may be 691 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 1: cooking some stuff, may be working on some things down 692 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 1: the road. But yeah, I think we'll have a busy 693 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 1: April and May. We'll be out there on the road 694 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,879 Speaker 1: storm chasing. It's always fun. We go to as many 695 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,720 Speaker 1: camp by plural of campus as possible in the spring 696 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 1: for the Speaker series, and then every now and then 697 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: we have to like if I were scheduled to sit 698 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,439 Speaker 1: down with Kirby Smart, We're not doing Georgia this week, 699 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: but if I had to sit down with Kirby Smart 700 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 1: and we had him scheduled for like three pm tomorrow, 701 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: but then I knew there was going to be a 702 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: tornado outbreak. We did this with Mike Norvel last year. 703 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,239 Speaker 1: Remember we were gonna do Norvel later in the day 704 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 1: and then we found out we needed to storm Chase 705 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 1: later in the day, so we asked Mike, can we 706 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 1: move it up to the morning. He acquiesced, and then 707 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 1: we got out of there and we went to Memphis 708 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 1: and we Stormchased that day. It's only Chase Jesse has 709 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: ever participated in. It was a total bust, terrible luck. 710 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 1: Not me, Jesse And so yeah, that's the that's the 711 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 1: typrope we walk this time of year. Very first world problem, 712 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,919 Speaker 1: but that's the type rope we walk. Speaking of Florida State, 713 00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 1: they will briefly be mentioned in the next portion of 714 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 1: the show. Calvin from New York City, which fan bases 715 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: are the most tortured and deserve better than what they've gotten. Well, sorry, 716 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:18,280 Speaker 1: I had my papers mixed up. Arkansas is the first 717 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: fan base that came to mind here. Arkansas has been 718 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 1: done wrong. Arkansas fan base has been done wrong. They 719 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 1: are passionate. Place is incredible and it's off in the 720 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 1: northwest corner of the SEC or the northeast corner of 721 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 1: the Southwest Conference. They kind of have like in Us 722 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 1: against the World mentality up there. I love going up there. 723 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 1: We go there sometimes to Stormchase. We grew up there, 724 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,840 Speaker 1: sometimes to visit. We went there for the Broils Award 725 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,760 Speaker 1: just a few weeks ago, so I'm in Arkansas fairly regularly. 726 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 1: I know a lot of you have never been a 727 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,759 Speaker 1: don't knock it till you try. It be very underrated 728 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,800 Speaker 1: airport at XNA, not to be confused with B and 729 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,359 Speaker 1: A and three. It's a phenomenal game day environment even 730 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 1: when they suck. So when they're good, it's off the charts. 731 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 1: They just haven't been good enough their last double digit 732 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 1: win season. Does anyone want to guess it was twenty eleven. 733 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:11,719 Speaker 1: That was the very end of the Bobby Petrino era. 734 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,239 Speaker 1: In SEC play the last eight years Arkansas is fourteen 735 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 1: and fifty two. I'm going to repeat that for effect. 736 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: Arkansas in conference play the last eight years fourteen and 737 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:28,799 Speaker 1: fifty two. Most recently they went to and ten. There 738 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 1: has been a litany of bad here. John L. Smith, 739 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,799 Speaker 1: the Brett Beelma era in retrospect, wasn't so terrible. Chad 740 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: Morris after that disaster. Sam Pittman. I just think Sam 741 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 1: Pittman came along at the exact wrong time for Arkansas, 742 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,799 Speaker 1: as it turns out. And now it's Ryan Silverfield. Ryan 743 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 1: Silverfield probably got the least amount of national attention when 744 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,479 Speaker 1: he was hired there out of any of these guys, 745 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 1: and ironically may end up being the best fit. Remains 746 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 1: to be seen. But fingers are crossed because those fol 747 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: have never tapped out, they have never given up. They 748 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,440 Speaker 1: deserve it. They remember me Like Tennessee. Tennessee was bad 749 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,400 Speaker 1: for a long time, hypel came along, pulled the program 750 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,799 Speaker 1: out of the ditch. Now they're winning. I hadn't won 751 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: a national title, lower conference title yet, but they're winning. 752 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 1: So I'm really pulling for Arkansas. Next up Virginia Tech. 753 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:23,240 Speaker 1: Virginia Tech fans badly deserve a winner. They're way overdue 754 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,480 Speaker 1: for it. Their last double digit win season was a 755 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 1: decade ago. Their last big Bowl win was like the 756 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 1: eight nine seasons, and that's still Frank Beemer era back then. 757 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,719 Speaker 1: And they're coming off a three and nine season. That's 758 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,840 Speaker 1: the worst year they've had since nineteen ninety two. And 759 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,799 Speaker 1: here's what we have to do sometimes on the show. 760 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 1: And I don't like this part, but I have to 761 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,800 Speaker 1: acknowledge we got a bunch of high school kids, a 762 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 1: lot of college age boys and girls listening to the 763 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 1: show and I have to remind myself when we talk 764 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 1: about football programs like Virginia Tech that you have no 765 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 1: idea what I'm talking about. When I am mentioning Virginia 766 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,359 Speaker 1: Tech in the National conversation, you have no idea why 767 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 1: they're there. You think I'm wasting time talking Virginia Tech 768 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 1: on the national landscape, and I just I have to 769 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,880 Speaker 1: bitter pill to swallow. But I have to swallow that 770 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:19,839 Speaker 1: bitter pill of realizing, wow, it's been that long since 771 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:24,279 Speaker 1: Virginia Tech was really a factor. But I do want 772 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 1: to tell you, guys, once upon a time they were 773 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,400 Speaker 1: a factor. When I say they were a factor, I 774 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 1: mean as you had the National Championship conversation, Virginia Tech 775 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,439 Speaker 1: was in it. I don't know if it could happen again, 776 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,800 Speaker 1: that's up to James Franklin, but they were in it. 777 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 1: And also, on a pretty related note, it became like 778 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 1: one of the most feared home field environments to have 779 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,839 Speaker 1: to go into. For some reason, my mind remembers one 780 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,359 Speaker 1: thousand different Thursday night games for Virginia Tech. I don't 781 00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,640 Speaker 1: know how many Thursday night games they actually played, but 782 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:03,440 Speaker 1: there was this era where ESPN really put premiere like 783 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:07,279 Speaker 1: top rated matchups on Thursday Night. Rhys Davis, I think, 784 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 1: used to do play by play on those games, and 785 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 1: Virginia Tech was like a staple, and man, that place 786 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:16,400 Speaker 1: is incredible, and you know, I just I look at 787 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:20,359 Speaker 1: James Franklin being hired there and I think about one 788 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 1: day Virginia Tech ranked top ten. Miami's Come into Town 789 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 1: also ranked top ten, and it's a primetime game. Chris 790 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 1: Fowler and Kirk Kerbstreeter are in the house, and we 791 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,359 Speaker 1: really get treated, in some cases for the first time. 792 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,600 Speaker 1: If you're younger, you really get treated to the idea, 793 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 1: the experience that is Lane Stadium. When Virginia Tech is 794 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 1: nationally in the picture, it's a great time. We deserve it. 795 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 1: They sure deserve it. And not too far up the road. Yeah, 796 00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: had to get my cardinal directions. What about West Virginia. 797 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 1: You know last year last spring, I was up in Morgantown, 798 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,719 Speaker 1: sat down with Rich Rod for the Speaker series, and 799 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,840 Speaker 1: then afterwards I had a little time before I was 800 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,160 Speaker 1: going to get out of there, so I just went 801 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,359 Speaker 1: out into the stadium dism cardio like a beautiful day 802 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,359 Speaker 1: of seventy five degrees and no one was in there, 803 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 1: but me and I sat there for a little while 804 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 1: because I've never seen a game in Morgantown. I've never 805 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,719 Speaker 1: seen a game at West Virginia. But because I am 806 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:30,000 Speaker 1: of a certain generation, I think about Steve Slayton, I 807 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 1: think about Pat White. I think about from two thousand 808 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,880 Speaker 1: and five to twenty eleven, them win in nine or 809 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,719 Speaker 1: more every year. From two to twenty eleven, they won 810 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 1: eight games or more every year. So again, kind of 811 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,759 Speaker 1: like I was talking about with Virginia Tech. If you're 812 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 1: twenty years old right now, it may not seem like it, 813 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,360 Speaker 1: but there was a period where if you were talking 814 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 1: about the National Championship picture, that Mountaineer logo was a 815 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 1: staple on your TV screen. Anytime you're looking at those 816 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 1: BCS rankings, they're a fact. They were within an eyelash 817 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven of playing in the National 818 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:09,160 Speaker 1: Title game and they hadn't had a top twenty five finish. 819 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,840 Speaker 1: Listen to what I'm about to tell you. They haven't 820 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,560 Speaker 1: finished top twenty five in any of the poll the 821 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,840 Speaker 1: last the eight people, the last seven years. That's not 822 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,920 Speaker 1: the mind blowing part of this. This is worth the 823 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 1: paper pop. West Virginia has not appeared in the top 824 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:32,040 Speaker 1: twenty five in the last seven years. I have to 825 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:35,400 Speaker 1: pause for effect. I can't believe that's true. Now, I 826 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 1: didn't say finish. They haven't appeared at any point in 827 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,680 Speaker 1: the top twenty five in the last seven years. And really, honestly, 828 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,759 Speaker 1: what I'm hoping, Jesse, is I'm hoping we got it wrong. 829 00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,320 Speaker 1: I'm hoping someone emails us and says, hey, actually in 830 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,040 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two and Week nine they were in there briefly. 831 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,520 Speaker 1: It would make me feel better if we actually screwed 832 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,120 Speaker 1: that stet up. I don't think we did. The amazing fans, 833 00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 1: amazing atmosphere. And when I was there in spring, all 834 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 1: I did I like to think there was a janitor 835 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 1: somewhere watching me, wonder what I was doing. All I 836 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,920 Speaker 1: did was I went and sat on the first row 837 00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 1: of the bleachers. I sat there for like twenty minutes, 838 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,000 Speaker 1: just imagining what that place used to be like, Know 839 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 1: what it could be like again. No one says it 840 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,439 Speaker 1: couldn't be that way again. And lastly, Team We've talked 841 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,359 Speaker 1: about already today, but I'll talk about him once more. 842 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:27,759 Speaker 1: Nebraska deserves it. Nebraska fans deserve it. We went up 843 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:29,920 Speaker 1: there for the Michigan game last year. We did a 844 00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,439 Speaker 1: live show there the night before. This is my first 845 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,560 Speaker 1: time in Lincoln, it's my first time at a Nebraska game. 846 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,719 Speaker 1: I so badly want reasons to go back. And this 847 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,480 Speaker 1: is a third time in three mentions of a team 848 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,440 Speaker 1: that I have to ask how old are you? Because 849 00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,560 Speaker 1: if you're in your forties or older, you've lived in 850 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,720 Speaker 1: a time where Nebraska was the premier team in college 851 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:56,160 Speaker 1: football in the mid nineties, they were a powerhouse. But 852 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,400 Speaker 1: then if you're twenty two years old, you again have 853 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 1: no idea what anyone's talking about. When they talk that way, 854 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:06,040 Speaker 1: that could actually, mathematically, that may be your dad talking 855 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 1: to you about what Nebraska used to be like, and like, 856 00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:13,120 Speaker 1: if you're forty seven years old, that fact has really 857 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,280 Speaker 1: snuck up on you. If you live up in Currny, 858 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:19,479 Speaker 1: Nebraska or North Platte, Nebraska, you're forty five years old. 859 00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:24,640 Speaker 1: You have lived through a dominant era, the Golden era 860 00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:29,000 Speaker 1: of Nebraska football, and your nineteen year old son laughs 861 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,520 Speaker 1: when you talk about it. It's a slap in the face. 862 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 1: Their last ten plus win season was twenty twelve. The 863 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,080 Speaker 1: Will Compton era, as some call it, up there. The 864 00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:43,839 Speaker 1: last nine seasons ear muffs for the week's stomached, their 865 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:47,359 Speaker 1: win totals four wins, four wins, five wins, three wins, 866 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:51,160 Speaker 1: three wins, four wins, five wins, seven wins, seven wins. So, 867 00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,839 Speaker 1: in a way, Matt Ruhle has gotten the job done. 868 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:58,200 Speaker 1: In relation to what Nebraska football had been no appearance 869 00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,920 Speaker 1: in the College Football Playoff rankings since twenty sixteen. That 870 00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,000 Speaker 1: means the entire top twenty five rankings, not just the 871 00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,080 Speaker 1: top ten. They have not appeared at all in the 872 00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:12,319 Speaker 1: CFP rankings since twenty sixteen. And yet Arkansas, Virginia Tech, 873 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:17,399 Speaker 1: West Virginia, Nebraska four for four awesome fan bases. They 874 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,000 Speaker 1: haven't been good in quite a while. And we hear 875 00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:24,040 Speaker 1: regularly from all four of those fan bases on this show, 876 00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,160 Speaker 1: Like in our inbox. We hear from them all the time. 877 00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:32,359 Speaker 1: So I just wait around for lightning to strike. Now 878 00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,120 Speaker 1: here's what could happen. What could happen is this time 879 00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:40,680 Speaker 1: next year, Jesse, we are talking about Silverfield and James 880 00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:44,799 Speaker 1: Franklin and Rich Rod and Matt Ruhle, and they all 881 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,680 Speaker 1: have just gotten themselves in position to where they're all 882 00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:52,120 Speaker 1: a contender they've surprised everyone in twenty twenty six. Maybe 883 00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,040 Speaker 1: we at least go to to four there, but I'm 884 00:47:54,080 --> 00:48:02,960 Speaker 1: hoping for four or four. Watching us in Myerstown, PA, Alfaredda, Georgia, 885 00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:06,359 Speaker 1: Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Thank you guys so much. A lot 886 00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,640 Speaker 1: of house cleaning here, a lot of just warning people 887 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:15,520 Speaker 1: or begging people about the upcoming season. Guy who lives 888 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,640 Speaker 1: in mound Ridge, Kansas hit US and he said, which 889 00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,279 Speaker 1: teams need to win it all? Or win enough to 890 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:22,920 Speaker 1: save their coaches butts? 891 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:23,640 Speaker 2: This year? 892 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,239 Speaker 1: It sounds like guy is asking who's on the clock. 893 00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:29,359 Speaker 1: And this could be one of two things, Like he said, 894 00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,800 Speaker 1: you could need to win to save your job, or 895 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,399 Speaker 1: you can need to win just because if you don't 896 00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:34,800 Speaker 1: win now, when are you really going to do it? 897 00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:38,280 Speaker 1: And that ladder category is how I look at Texas. 898 00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 1: Steve Sarkeesian and Texas are on the clock this year 899 00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:45,520 Speaker 1: because they're all in. They are Ohio State. Two years ago, 900 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:47,839 Speaker 1: Buck guys ended up winning a title when they were 901 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,799 Speaker 1: all in. Texas don't know because the season is still 902 00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:54,520 Speaker 1: ahead of us. Arch Manning, plus that portal class, you 903 00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:56,960 Speaker 1: may have the number one quarterback in the country and 904 00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,920 Speaker 1: tackle in the country, and edge player in the country, 905 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,400 Speaker 1: and wide receiver or one of the best receivers in 906 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:08,120 Speaker 1: the country. A loaded cornerback room, overhauled the running back 907 00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:12,719 Speaker 1: room entirely. It's all there. Everything you could possibly want 908 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,880 Speaker 1: or say that you need as the head coach or 909 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,839 Speaker 1: the general manager, or a staffer or a fan. At 910 00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:23,719 Speaker 1: Texas is there. Schedule's a little tough. Yeah, yeah, guess what. 911 00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,719 Speaker 1: All of them have to play you too. So Oklahoma 912 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,600 Speaker 1: made the playoff last year, so there's no complaining about 913 00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:33,040 Speaker 1: schedule when you load up like this, Texas has got 914 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,080 Speaker 1: to get the job done. By getting the job done, 915 00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,160 Speaker 1: I mean, they have to be in that national championship 916 00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:42,040 Speaker 1: picture when the national championship happens. So I guess I'm 917 00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,560 Speaker 1: saying they got to make the national title game. I 918 00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,239 Speaker 1: know that's lofty, but when are you ever going to 919 00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,279 Speaker 1: have it put together better than this? So they're on 920 00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,560 Speaker 1: the clock in twenty twenty six. I think Oregon is too. 921 00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:55,680 Speaker 1: It's kind of the same thing here. There's no job 922 00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:59,879 Speaker 1: security pressure for Dan Lanning, but it's the same thing. 923 00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,799 Speaker 1: We know you can win a ton of games, Now, 924 00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:04,960 Speaker 1: can you show us that you can win in the playoffs. 925 00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,120 Speaker 1: Can you show us that when you go up against 926 00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:10,120 Speaker 1: other rosters that look like yours, other coaching stats, that 927 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,440 Speaker 1: are as highly paid as yours, can you get the 928 00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:16,520 Speaker 1: job done? Can you be better than them? Defensive line returns, 929 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:20,080 Speaker 1: Dante Moore's back decory and Moore and Evans Stewart are back, 930 00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:24,279 Speaker 1: And all we're looking for here is we're looking for 931 00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,000 Speaker 1: you to continue to do what you've been doing in 932 00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:28,320 Speaker 1: the regular season. But then when we come up on 933 00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:32,280 Speaker 1: Ohio State, or maybe in Indiana, or maybe a Texas, 934 00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,200 Speaker 1: maybe at Georgia, when we come up on them in 935 00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,120 Speaker 1: the playoff and we got to beat two or three 936 00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:41,160 Speaker 1: of them, can we get that job done. That's what 937 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,520 Speaker 1: you're on the clock for at this point, because all 938 00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,480 Speaker 1: the other questions are answered at Oregon now for much 939 00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:50,200 Speaker 1: different reasons. Florida State's on the clock. Mike Norvel and FSU. 940 00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:52,560 Speaker 1: FSU got to be on the clock because it's kind 941 00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,800 Speaker 1: of a final straw moment. It's kind of a final 942 00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:58,600 Speaker 1: stand moment. It feels like for Mike Norvell, twenty twenty 943 00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:03,239 Speaker 1: three was forever ago. Sometimes you can do a great 944 00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,680 Speaker 1: thing and you live off the equity of that thing 945 00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:09,120 Speaker 1: for a long time. That man, that equity burned up 946 00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,279 Speaker 1: really quick. That's what two and ten and five and 947 00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:15,200 Speaker 1: seven will do for you. No more equity. Everyone kind 948 00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:17,840 Speaker 1: of looks at that and says, that was fun. But 949 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:22,080 Speaker 1: it turns out that was the exception, and mediocrity or 950 00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,480 Speaker 1: worse than that has been the rule, and I can't 951 00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:29,520 Speaker 1: push back on it. And also there's this widely held 952 00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:32,439 Speaker 1: understanding that the only reason that that coaching staff even 953 00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:35,960 Speaker 1: survived last year was caused the buyout was too big 954 00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:40,759 Speaker 1: because of the renegotiated deal they had when they won 955 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:44,839 Speaker 1: the ACC and got sort of low key shafted out 956 00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:46,719 Speaker 1: of a playoff spot a couple of years ago, three 957 00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,680 Speaker 1: years ago, so Florida State. I don't know what the 958 00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:51,359 Speaker 1: total is, like, I don't know what the win total 959 00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:55,280 Speaker 1: they need is, but certainly got to be above five hundred, 960 00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,759 Speaker 1: I would think. Now that brings you to the next 961 00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:02,040 Speaker 1: question of what a seven and six? It's seven and six, okay, 962 00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:03,879 Speaker 1: you go from two to ten to five and seven 963 00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:07,799 Speaker 1: to seven and six. Is that okay? Technically it's progress, 964 00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:12,520 Speaker 1: it's three year linear progress. But when you have thirteen 965 00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:16,520 Speaker 1: wins four seasons ago, now, now it doesn't really work 966 00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:21,960 Speaker 1: now USC at USC, this is a different It's kind 967 00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,319 Speaker 1: of like a hybrid bucket of those two. No one's 968 00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,720 Speaker 1: asking Lincoln Riley to win a national title or bust 969 00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:30,520 Speaker 1: this year. I at least am not sitting here saying 970 00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:33,560 Speaker 1: you better win or you're gonna get fired. Maybe somebody is. 971 00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,799 Speaker 1: I'm not. But USC has gone eleven and three, eight 972 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:38,759 Speaker 1: and five, seven and six, and then nine and four 973 00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,920 Speaker 1: last year under Lincoln Riley. And we've talked about this 974 00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,680 Speaker 1: dynamic a lot on the Show of a couple of 975 00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,359 Speaker 1: years ago. He looked around and he said, yeah, okay, 976 00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,880 Speaker 1: I admit it. We got to make some changes. And 977 00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:55,560 Speaker 1: they did, and not the least of which was defensive changes. 978 00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:58,080 Speaker 1: And then they got better. They've made strength and conditioning 979 00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,040 Speaker 1: changes there. Even if you can't see yet, they've gotten 980 00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,880 Speaker 1: and are getting a lot better there. And then he 981 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,759 Speaker 1: got kind of two years. Make sure we reset, make 982 00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:08,800 Speaker 1: sure we got everything in place. All Right, here we go. 983 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,080 Speaker 1: We're coming off the heels of a number one recruiting class. 984 00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:14,840 Speaker 1: We made some really good moves in the transfer portal. 985 00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:18,799 Speaker 1: We've got a third year starter at quarterback. You've got 986 00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,200 Speaker 1: to win this year. You've got to make the playoffs 987 00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,040 Speaker 1: this year. That's kind of how Lincoln, Riley, and USC 988 00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:27,160 Speaker 1: are on the clock. I don't push back on that, 989 00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:29,640 Speaker 1: and I don't disagree with it. They got Ohio State 990 00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:32,560 Speaker 1: and Oregon coming to the coliseum. By the way, I 991 00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:35,200 Speaker 1: was out there. I mean, I went and did the 992 00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:38,560 Speaker 1: speaker series with Lincoln last spring, and they were putting 993 00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,320 Speaker 1: the finishing touches on a lot of new renovation on 994 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:44,680 Speaker 1: campus and construction in downtown Los Angeles not cheap. So 995 00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:47,520 Speaker 1: I got a lot of things going for him there 996 00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:52,880 Speaker 1: that are all predicated on being reflected in on field results. 997 00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:55,600 Speaker 1: If you don't have the onfield results, no one cares 998 00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:57,799 Speaker 1: what your facilities look like, no one cares what your 999 00:53:57,840 --> 00:53:59,920 Speaker 1: recruiting classes are ranked. They're just going to come poach 1000 00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,480 Speaker 1: all your guys. So that's what we're waiting on. What 1001 00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:04,879 Speaker 1: about Baylor. It's been a long time since we talked 1002 00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:09,560 Speaker 1: about Baylor. Dave A. Randa, because his athletic director ended 1003 00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:13,040 Speaker 1: up getting fired last year, got to keep his job. 1004 00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,200 Speaker 1: It looked like Randa was gone and then all of 1005 00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,480 Speaker 1: a sudden, the AD's out and hey, we're just not 1006 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:19,200 Speaker 1: going to make a move on the head coach. What 1007 00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:23,719 Speaker 1: everybody had already written Dave out of there. Since he 1008 00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,839 Speaker 1: won the Big Twelve, he's gone six and seven, three 1009 00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:31,160 Speaker 1: and nine, eight and five, five and seven. And I'm 1010 00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:33,720 Speaker 1: a Dave Randa guy, but I can't just keep backing 1011 00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,759 Speaker 1: him if the results look like that. And keep in mind, 1012 00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:42,160 Speaker 1: in the Big Twelve, we've got this barometer that's been set, 1013 00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,880 Speaker 1: this bar that's been set over in Lubbock, Texas, and 1014 00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:50,120 Speaker 1: everyone's looking at that, and you're either playing catchup or 1015 00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:54,120 Speaker 1: you're just watching the top half or the top part 1016 00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,279 Speaker 1: of the Big Twelve pull away from you. Because for 1017 00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:59,239 Speaker 1: a while, in the Big Twelve, even if you didn't 1018 00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,920 Speaker 1: have your act to get it's okay. It's okay because 1019 00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,600 Speaker 1: all the conference is just compressed together. It's not that 1020 00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:07,880 Speaker 1: way anymore, and that's a problem if you're not Texas 1021 00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:09,560 Speaker 1: Tech or you don't have your act together. And so 1022 00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:12,239 Speaker 1: I think Baylor is certainly on the clock. I put 1023 00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:15,759 Speaker 1: Wisconsin here as well. Luke Fickle came there. You know, 1024 00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,520 Speaker 1: Luke Fickle came to Wisconsin a few years ago, and 1025 00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,239 Speaker 1: I was sky high on the higher and as it 1026 00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:23,560 Speaker 1: turns out, he hadn't even come close to matching them. 1027 00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:26,080 Speaker 1: What Paul christ was doing seven and six to five 1028 00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:28,080 Speaker 1: and seven to four and eight. It just feels like 1029 00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:29,960 Speaker 1: the wood was a little wet when they tried to 1030 00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:33,080 Speaker 1: light it, or in football terms, he had the wrong 1031 00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:37,400 Speaker 1: philosophy and wrong guys on his staff offensively at the outset. 1032 00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:42,080 Speaker 1: They've tried to fix that, but as Lincoln Riley found out, 1033 00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,399 Speaker 1: once the once the car leaves the garage a little 1034 00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:47,640 Speaker 1: bit and gets out on the road, once the plane 1035 00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,800 Speaker 1: leaves the runway, it's hard to repair it unless you 1036 00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,200 Speaker 1: land it or you pull the car back into the garage. 1037 00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,160 Speaker 1: But that's not fun because no one wants to do that. Well, 1038 00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:59,120 Speaker 1: that's kind of what they've been doing. At Wisconsin. They 1039 00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:02,680 Speaker 1: went and took a of transfers, I think over thirty 1040 00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:05,000 Speaker 1: of them. Jesse and a lot of guys went out, 1041 00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:09,880 Speaker 1: and if you just look on paper, it's hard to 1042 00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:16,040 Speaker 1: tell whether they definitively upgraded the caliber of player. But 1043 00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:19,080 Speaker 1: that's paper, okay. So I have to trust that Luke 1044 00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,160 Speaker 1: Fickle's evaluations of the guys he's bringing in and the 1045 00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:24,799 Speaker 1: guys that they're letting go or they're watching walk out 1046 00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,960 Speaker 1: the door. I have to trust that they came out 1047 00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,359 Speaker 1: a net winner in that trade off, but they've got 1048 00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,640 Speaker 1: to get it done four and eight. Last year, I 1049 00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,839 Speaker 1: would say you need to add I think they need 1050 00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:38,759 Speaker 1: to go eight and four. That's what I would guess. 1051 00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:41,600 Speaker 1: They need to go up there. They you know, there 1052 00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,239 Speaker 1: were rumors that they were gonna they were gonna be 1053 00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,279 Speaker 1: looking for a new head coach, and instead what they 1054 00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:48,279 Speaker 1: did was they kept Luke Fickle and they chose to 1055 00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,279 Speaker 1: invest in the recruiting class. Now, I'm a believer in 1056 00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:53,239 Speaker 1: that philosophy. If I believe in the coach and I 1057 00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:57,600 Speaker 1: believe in Luke Fickle. Here's the problem. Potentially, we said 1058 00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:01,640 Speaker 1: that about Napier at Florida last year. Florida didn't fire Billy. 1059 00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:06,480 Speaker 1: They just invested a ton in talent acquisition, and it 1060 00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:08,440 Speaker 1: was more the same the next year, and then they 1061 00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:12,600 Speaker 1: ended up firing a head coach mid season. That is 1062 00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,359 Speaker 1: the way it could go at Wisconsin this year. I'm 1063 00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:18,280 Speaker 1: hoping for their sake, it goes the opposite way. We 1064 00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:22,640 Speaker 1: move on. Jess, you've been checking the radar in there, No, 1065 00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,280 Speaker 1: not been checking Werow. Probably don't even have a radar 1066 00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:28,480 Speaker 1: scope on your phone. Do you what a loser? That's unbelievable. 1067 00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:32,280 Speaker 1: That is so pathetic. All right, let's go. Truth Teller 1068 00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:35,320 Speaker 1: series continues, a lot of truth needed in this sport, 1069 00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:37,600 Speaker 1: a lot of truth needed this time of year. And 1070 00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:39,360 Speaker 1: what we like to do is we like to point 1071 00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:42,560 Speaker 1: our finger. We just blindfold ourselves point our finger. Intonight, 1072 00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:46,760 Speaker 1: the finger is pointed long way away from here, Eugene, Oregon. 1073 00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:50,760 Speaker 1: The truth about Dan Lanning not lies. What's the truth 1074 00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:54,320 Speaker 1: about Dan Lanning? Well, I wrote my truth about Dan Lanning, 1075 00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:58,400 Speaker 1: and it's one sentence, and here it is right here, 1076 00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,120 Speaker 1: the truth about Dan Lanning. He's one of the top 1077 00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:06,479 Speaker 1: head coaches in college football. Sometimes I have to pause 1078 00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:08,960 Speaker 1: and look at the live chat see what people think 1079 00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:13,280 Speaker 1: about that. Now, knowing our audience and knowing my replies 1080 00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:16,400 Speaker 1: like I think I do, we will get pushed back 1081 00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,680 Speaker 1: on that sentence. And I will ask, why are we 1082 00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:23,200 Speaker 1: getting pushed back on that sentence? Because Dan Lanning unequivocally 1083 00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:26,200 Speaker 1: is one of the top head coaches in college football. Now, 1084 00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:28,360 Speaker 1: you did notice what I didn't say. I didn't say 1085 00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:32,160 Speaker 1: the top I didn't even say top three. But I 1086 00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:35,480 Speaker 1: would say one of the top head coaches in college football. 1087 00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,800 Speaker 1: Now here's my case for that. And you feel free 1088 00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:43,440 Speaker 1: in the comments to State your opposition. They have won 1089 00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:46,760 Speaker 1: double digit games every season he's been there. They won 1090 00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:50,600 Speaker 1: the Big Ten in twenty twenty four. They beat Penn State, Michigan, 1091 00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:52,760 Speaker 1: and Ohio State during that year, so they didn't duck 1092 00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:56,120 Speaker 1: the tough teams. They have finished inside the CFP Top 1093 00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:59,760 Speaker 1: eight the last three years. Also, just keep in mind, 1094 00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:03,960 Speaker 1: in the midst of this little run, he lost a 1095 00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:09,000 Speaker 1: head coach caliber offensive coordinator. Kenny Dillingham was so good 1096 00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:13,960 Speaker 1: that Arizona State hired him, and then Lanning takes will 1097 00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:17,880 Speaker 1: Stein and inserts him, and will Stein's so good Kentucky 1098 00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:20,960 Speaker 1: hires him. So now they've promoted from within up there. 1099 00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:25,360 Speaker 1: So in his four years, he's already cycled twice an 1100 00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:29,440 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. Their recruiting average has been number four in 1101 00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,120 Speaker 1: the country. During his time there, they've been a top 1102 00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:34,360 Speaker 1: ten portal team. I really think they've been like a 1103 00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:38,320 Speaker 1: top five portal team. And here's what the pushback will be. 1104 00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:41,120 Speaker 1: Mark my words. I'm live on air right now, but 1105 00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,800 Speaker 1: I know what the comments will be. There will be 1106 00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:47,680 Speaker 1: many people despite what I just said, they will say, 1107 00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:50,280 Speaker 1: what is Dan Lanny won you say he's one of 1108 00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:52,640 Speaker 1: the top head coaches in college football? What is he won. Well, 1109 00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,360 Speaker 1: I just told you what he's won. But this is, 1110 00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:58,000 Speaker 1: of course the group that believes if you haven't won 1111 00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:01,640 Speaker 1: a national title, you haven't won anything. So you either 1112 01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:05,720 Speaker 1: have one a national championship, or you got nothing to 1113 01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,840 Speaker 1: talk about, nothing to brag about. There's might as well 1114 01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:12,720 Speaker 1: be nothing on the Wikipedia page. Erase the bio entirely, 1115 01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:17,200 Speaker 1: you've done nothing. Well, I want you to give me 1116 01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:20,400 Speaker 1: the knock. The knock is he doesn't finish. I know 1117 01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:23,720 Speaker 1: what the knock is. It's rhetorical. The knock is he 1118 01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:27,320 Speaker 1: doesn't finish. So his great crime, Dan Lanning's great crime 1119 01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:30,400 Speaker 1: at Oregon so far is basically losing to the team 1120 01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:32,200 Speaker 1: that's either going to be in the national title game 1121 01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:34,800 Speaker 1: or win the national title. It was Debor a few 1122 01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:37,640 Speaker 1: years ago at Washington, and then it was Ryan Day 1123 01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:40,760 Speaker 1: at Ohio State. Then last year it was Kurt Signetti 1124 01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,120 Speaker 1: in Indiana. So go back and look at what I said, 1125 01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:47,000 Speaker 1: or listen to what I said, because what I said, 1126 01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:49,920 Speaker 1: you know, my truth about Dan Lanning, which I think 1127 01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:52,520 Speaker 1: is the truth about him, is he's one of the 1128 01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:57,120 Speaker 1: top head coaches in college football. Every bit of the 1129 01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:01,160 Speaker 1: pushback about him not being able to and them not 1130 01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:03,240 Speaker 1: getting the job done in the playoff can be true, 1131 01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:07,960 Speaker 1: and my theory, my truth still be right because so 1132 01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:11,600 Speaker 1: far he's done exactly what. Let's just throw a number out. 1133 01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:14,480 Speaker 1: Let's say he's the number six head coach in college football, 1134 01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:19,120 Speaker 1: number five, number four. Whatever he has done so far, 1135 01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:22,240 Speaker 1: what the number five head coach in college football would do. 1136 01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:26,760 Speaker 1: Done really good in talent acquisition, done really good in 1137 01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:29,360 Speaker 1: winning a vast majority of his games, and then he 1138 01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:32,040 Speaker 1: runs up on someone that would be ranked above him 1139 01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:35,840 Speaker 1: and he loses to him. That that's kind of what 1140 01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:38,800 Speaker 1: the fifth overall head coach in college football would do. 1141 01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:42,960 Speaker 1: So none of that's inaccurate. I see his resume. I've 1142 01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:44,800 Speaker 1: watched all the games, I've been at most of them. 1143 01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:49,520 Speaker 1: Nothing's inaccurate about that. I just always am quick to 1144 01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:53,480 Speaker 1: remind people of one thing, and that is Dan Lanning. 1145 01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:56,520 Speaker 1: You look at his driver's license says he's thirty nine 1146 01:01:56,600 --> 01:02:02,240 Speaker 1: years old. Now. Nick just retired a couple of years ago, 1147 01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:04,840 Speaker 1: pretty widely regarded as the best to ever do it. 1148 01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:11,200 Speaker 1: Had seven national championships when he retired. Nick Saban was 1149 01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:14,480 Speaker 1: fifty two years old when he won his first title. 1150 01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:17,960 Speaker 1: That was at LSU in two thousand and three. Lanning 1151 01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:22,400 Speaker 1: is thirteen years younger than that right now. So you're 1152 01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:25,040 Speaker 1: just gonna have to forgive me if I don't look 1153 01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:29,480 Speaker 1: at Dan Lanning's lack of national championship naches on his 1154 01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:33,000 Speaker 1: belt and think, well, I mean, that guy sucks. If 1155 01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:35,520 Speaker 1: you hadn't gotten it done in the first half decade 1156 01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,240 Speaker 1: of his head coaching career, he's not gonna get it done. 1157 01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:41,400 Speaker 1: And the reason, aside from common sense, that I don't 1158 01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:43,680 Speaker 1: go down that route is because I saw people do 1159 01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:46,640 Speaker 1: it with Kirby, and I saw people do it with 1160 01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:50,440 Speaker 1: Ryan Day. People with Kirby smart watched him win a 1161 01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,600 Speaker 1: whole bunch of games at Georgia. Ironically, he kept running 1162 01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:55,680 Speaker 1: into Saban in Alabama and they lost, and they lost 1163 01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:57,480 Speaker 1: and they lost, and then all of a sudden, they 1164 01:02:57,520 --> 01:02:59,800 Speaker 1: didn't lose and they won a national title. Then they 1165 01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:01,840 Speaker 1: won another one the next year for good measure, and 1166 01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:04,080 Speaker 1: now no one says Kirby can't win the big one anymore. 1167 01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:06,720 Speaker 1: And then they just turn their attention to Columbus, Ohio, 1168 01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:09,240 Speaker 1: and they talked about Ryan Day being born on third 1169 01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:12,440 Speaker 1: base and he can't really win the big one. He's 1170 01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:15,720 Speaker 1: been gift wrapped this great situation, but they just can't 1171 01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:17,960 Speaker 1: get it done. And oh look, they can't even beat Michigan. 1172 01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:20,720 Speaker 1: And then they found a way not to beat Michigan 1173 01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:22,480 Speaker 1: and still win a national title. And then they beat 1174 01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:24,680 Speaker 1: Michigan last year for good measure. Now no one's out 1175 01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:28,120 Speaker 1: in Ryan Day anymore for the time being, and these 1176 01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:32,760 Speaker 1: people never disappear, They just turn their attention elsewhere. And 1177 01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:36,000 Speaker 1: right now it is Steve Sarksian and it's Dan Lanning, 1178 01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:39,480 Speaker 1: and those are the two that are the latest in 1179 01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:43,320 Speaker 1: the can't win the big one club, and eventually they will, 1180 01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:47,560 Speaker 1: and then it'll eventually become someone else. But what did 1181 01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,320 Speaker 1: all those guys have in common? They had in common 1182 01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:53,200 Speaker 1: the age old adage that Mema taught us from birth, 1183 01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:56,040 Speaker 1: and that is there is a big difference and cannot 1184 01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:58,680 Speaker 1: versus have not. And the fact with Kirby for a 1185 01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,120 Speaker 1: long time was not that he could not win it. 1186 01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:04,200 Speaker 1: It's just that he hadn't. Same with Ryan Day, same 1187 01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:06,560 Speaker 1: with Dan Lanning. Right now, Dan Lanning will win a 1188 01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:09,520 Speaker 1: national title at organ Steve Sarkisian will win a national 1189 01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:12,400 Speaker 1: title at Texas, at least I think they will, and 1190 01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:16,440 Speaker 1: then they will be no different. A coach than they 1191 01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:19,040 Speaker 1: are right now. If Landing wins a national title in 1192 01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:21,440 Speaker 1: ten months, he will be no different a head coach 1193 01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:23,960 Speaker 1: than he is right now. But there is a certain 1194 01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:28,280 Speaker 1: I don't know, like a kind of perspective that a 1195 01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:30,960 Speaker 1: certain kind of person has on this sport where they 1196 01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:35,640 Speaker 1: will think Dan Lanning transformed himself because his Wikipedia page 1197 01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:38,160 Speaker 1: has another sentence on it that it didn't use to have. 1198 01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:40,520 Speaker 1: I've never looked at it that way. I would ask 1199 01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:44,600 Speaker 1: that person right now, not in January of twenty twenty seven. 1200 01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:47,800 Speaker 1: Right now, I'm going to have a head coaching draft. 1201 01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:53,960 Speaker 1: We're drafting for the next five years results. How far 1202 01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:56,440 Speaker 1: are we going to get in that draft before Dan 1203 01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:59,360 Speaker 1: Lanning comes off the board. I don't think very far. 1204 01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:03,160 Speaker 1: So I think Dan Lanning's one of the best head 1205 01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:06,919 Speaker 1: coaches in college football and probably still has another rung 1206 01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:10,479 Speaker 1: or two on his personal and professional ladder he can climb. 1207 01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:15,240 Speaker 1: There you go, I've got big news. It's actually basketball relating. 1208 01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:20,240 Speaker 1: FanDuel actually hit us up and told us two things. 1209 01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:22,920 Speaker 1: The first thing they told us is win totals are out, Well, 1210 01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:24,960 Speaker 1: we already talked about that on the show tonight. The 1211 01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:28,480 Speaker 1: other thing FanDuel told us is free money for everyone. 1212 01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:32,480 Speaker 1: You may be thinking to yourself, what's the catch there? 1213 01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:34,280 Speaker 1: Kind of isn't one. Well, there may be like a 1214 01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:38,440 Speaker 1: little bit of one catch. So new sign ups or 1215 01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:42,120 Speaker 1: ten year veterans, all of you go to FanDuel right now, 1216 01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,920 Speaker 1: log in, click on your little bonus tab, and just 1217 01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:49,760 Speaker 1: opt in to the free money. They're giving you free money. 1218 01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:51,360 Speaker 1: The only catch is you got to bet it on 1219 01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:54,800 Speaker 1: NCAA tournament action. That's it. It's not your money, it's 1220 01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:56,800 Speaker 1: their money. They are putting it in your account and 1221 01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:59,160 Speaker 1: you go bet it. And hey, if I bet with 1222 01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:01,040 Speaker 1: that money and I went the money, guess what, Jesse, 1223 01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:05,520 Speaker 1: it's mine. It's all mine. And I'd like to say 1224 01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:08,040 Speaker 1: that I'm responsible for this, but it's not even my idea. 1225 01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:10,000 Speaker 1: FanDuel hit us up and just told us about it. 1226 01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:12,560 Speaker 1: Look at that gold basketball there. We need to get 1227 01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:13,920 Speaker 1: a football like that. We need to hang it from 1228 01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:19,000 Speaker 1: the ceiling. You know, we've got trustwork above us where 1229 01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:21,560 Speaker 1: we can lower stuff from the ceiling. We haven't had 1230 01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:24,560 Speaker 1: that before. So I had some ideas. I got to 1231 01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:25,920 Speaker 1: float them by you when we're off here. 1232 01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:28,520 Speaker 2: Must be twenty one plus and present in select states 1233 01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:31,720 Speaker 2: for Kansas, in affiliation with Kansas Star Casino or eighteen 1234 01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:34,680 Speaker 2: plus and present in DC.

Let's wrap it up. Bad 1248 01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:17,000 Speaker 1: weather is impending. Oh my nose, it just too We 1249 01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:20,280 Speaker 1: are doing the mood Tracker. Sorry, broh, that's probably not 1250 01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:21,960 Speaker 1: a good endpoint for you. Here's a good endpoint. The 1251 01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:26,280 Speaker 1: Mood Tracker series continues tonight with LSU. We're taking a 1252 01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:31,200 Speaker 1: deep but brief look at the LSU fan base and 1253 01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:33,280 Speaker 1: what is the mood and what should the mood be 1254 01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:35,680 Speaker 1: down there? So this is gonna sound like a play 1255 01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:37,960 Speaker 1: on words, but it's not. It just so happens. Lane 1256 01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:40,439 Speaker 1: Kiffen got hired there. It just so happens. His first 1257 01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:44,360 Speaker 1: name is Lane. But I would categorize the mood amongst 1258 01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:49,840 Speaker 1: LSU fans as fast lane, but more so the ideology 1259 01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:52,240 Speaker 1: of what it's like to be in the fast lane. 1260 01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:55,840 Speaker 1: So you all out there have driven in the left 1261 01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:57,960 Speaker 1: lane before, some of you have no business over there. 1262 01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:01,520 Speaker 1: In fact, free PSA for our younger viewers who haven't 1263 01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:04,240 Speaker 1: been taught the rules of the road. All the lanes 1264 01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:07,880 Speaker 1: aren't created equal, guys. There is a reason why that 1265 01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:11,480 Speaker 1: left lane is called the passing lane, because if you're 1266 01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:14,160 Speaker 1: not passing, if you're not going faster than the flow 1267 01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:16,920 Speaker 1: of traffic, you don't need to be over there. So 1268 01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:19,439 Speaker 1: that concludes the free PSA. I know some of you 1269 01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:21,320 Speaker 1: aren't aware of that. That's okay. You don't have to 1270 01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:23,280 Speaker 1: tell people you aren't aware, just as long as you 1271 01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:26,200 Speaker 1: learned it tonight. So don't be floating over there and 1272 01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:28,840 Speaker 1: wondering why someone's tailgating you. They're tailgating you because you 1273 01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:30,600 Speaker 1: need to get out of the way. Well, when it 1274 01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:33,880 Speaker 1: comes to LSU football, they're in the fast lane, and 1275 01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:36,559 Speaker 1: lane just got highed down there. And now he's driving 1276 01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:39,840 Speaker 1: the car, purple and gold car that's in the fast lane. 1277 01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:44,000 Speaker 1: And to whom much is given, much is required. This 1278 01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:46,800 Speaker 1: is the fair trade off that has existed since the 1279 01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:50,040 Speaker 1: dawn of time. And from a fans perspective, from an 1280 01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:55,639 Speaker 1: LSU fans perspective, understand where the mindset is at right now. 1281 01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:59,840 Speaker 1: Not only are LSU, which means a lot. If you're 1282 01:08:59,880 --> 01:09:01,599 Speaker 1: in an LSU fan, that means a lot. If you're 1283 01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:05,560 Speaker 1: a college football fan, not only are you LSU, And 1284 01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:09,000 Speaker 1: not only are you all in financially, I mean, look 1285 01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:12,760 Speaker 1: at these numbers being floated around forty plus million on 1286 01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:16,080 Speaker 1: a class whom stood a funk it. So not only 1287 01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:18,960 Speaker 1: are you all in on hiring a coach, acquiring a roster, 1288 01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:23,439 Speaker 1: just the overall pantheon of LSU in the two thousands, 1289 01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:26,679 Speaker 1: winning a national title, with every head coach up until 1290 01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:30,240 Speaker 1: the last one who you just unceremoniously dumped for a 1291 01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:32,439 Speaker 1: new one. Not only do we have all that going 1292 01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:36,560 Speaker 1: for us, Nick Saban's gone. So the thorn that was 1293 01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:38,400 Speaker 1: in your side for a long time, the one that 1294 01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:41,720 Speaker 1: went thirteen and five against you, he's gone. And so 1295 01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:45,000 Speaker 1: it's a new era in every possible way, and nothing's 1296 01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:48,599 Speaker 1: holding LSU back but LSU. That's how you feel, rightfully, 1297 01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:51,519 Speaker 1: So from Thibodeau to Shreveport and everywhere in between, if 1298 01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:54,920 Speaker 1: you're an LSU fan, and you kind of feel affirmed 1299 01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:59,640 Speaker 1: too because you feel a certain way about LSU. If 1300 01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:02,800 Speaker 1: you're in LSU fan, but see outsiders around the South, 1301 01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:05,800 Speaker 1: sometimes they look at that and they look and they 1302 01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:09,320 Speaker 1: laugh at the way LSU fans feel about the program. 1303 01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:14,919 Speaker 1: But the way an LSU fan feels about LSU football 1304 01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:21,120 Speaker 1: is totally validated. When the head coach of a rival 1305 01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:26,000 Speaker 1: within conference who is headed to the college Football Playoff 1306 01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:31,440 Speaker 1: chooses to leave before he can coach in the playoffs 1307 01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:35,040 Speaker 1: because your place is that much more desirable than theirs 1308 01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:40,559 Speaker 1: in his mind. That validates that there are more people 1309 01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:43,639 Speaker 1: out there who view LSU in the light they view 1310 01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:47,720 Speaker 1: it than LSU fans. That proved there's at least one 1311 01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:49,840 Speaker 1: other person out there, and it happens to be the 1312 01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:53,599 Speaker 1: head coach we want to hire. That views US as 1313 01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:56,679 Speaker 1: that much greater than fill in the blank in this case, 1314 01:10:56,760 --> 01:11:00,519 Speaker 1: Ole Miss. But LSU fans do not limit the list 1315 01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:03,559 Speaker 1: of greater thans to just old Miss. I can assure 1316 01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:07,240 Speaker 1: you the belief there is that when LSU is right, 1317 01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:13,400 Speaker 1: it is without equaling college football, and history suggests that 1318 01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:17,599 Speaker 1: there's a lot of validity to that. But the trade 1319 01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:20,760 Speaker 1: off now is if you're in that passing lane, if 1320 01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:23,920 Speaker 1: you're in the fast lane, if you're lane kiffing. In 1321 01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:28,759 Speaker 1: this case, there is no getting over. That's the difference 1322 01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:32,599 Speaker 1: in an LSU fans mentality, and someone behind the car 1323 01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:35,960 Speaker 1: of a twenty twelve Tacoma on I sixty five out 1324 01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:38,840 Speaker 1: here right now, he could just get over and he 1325 01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:41,599 Speaker 1: could let the faster cars pass him. You don't get 1326 01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:43,280 Speaker 1: to do that. If you're lane kiffin, you don't get 1327 01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:45,720 Speaker 1: to do that. As the head coach at LSU right now, 1328 01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:47,760 Speaker 1: if they wanted more of that, they would have kept 1329 01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:50,280 Speaker 1: the guy that used to be there. If they wanted 1330 01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:52,759 Speaker 1: a guy to get over and let Bama and Georgia 1331 01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:55,479 Speaker 1: and Texas by, they would have just kept Brian Kelly there. 1332 01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:58,800 Speaker 1: They're telling you they're better than that, and you better 1333 01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:01,920 Speaker 1: be better than that, so you better be leading the pack, 1334 01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:04,560 Speaker 1: not watching the pack go by you. And you know what, 1335 01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:08,360 Speaker 1: I don't even have a problem with that, and they 1336 01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:11,519 Speaker 1: obviously don't either. That is our show. We are on 1337 01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:14,800 Speaker 1: the road this week. We've got two big speaker series 1338 01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:17,880 Speaker 1: stops this week.
