I've been to 49 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 3: Ohio for sure. Yeah, you've probably been to Pennsylvania. Definitely 50 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 3: been to Pennsylvania, probably been to Virginia. But yeah, I've 51 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 3: been to Alaska and Hawaii, but it's. 52 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 2: Just never taken you to West Virginia.

For me, it's 57 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 2: like Kansas. I've never been to Kansas, and I've never 58 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 2: been to Arkansas. Sure, but I've been to the spots 59 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 2: around all of those places. Iowa, Sam, You've did you 60 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 2: say you've never been to Kansas, never been to Kansas, 61 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 2: but you've been to and you've never been to Arkansas. Correct, Okay, Yes, 62 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 2: I just like want to go back to that. Like 63 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 2: I've been to Colorado, been to Kansas, been to Oklahoma. 64 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 2: Jason and I were in Oklahoma last year for Doug's 65 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: opener against Oklahoma State. 66 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 4: You know what weird state I've never been to, which 67 00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 4: I feel like I should have at this point, I've 68 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 4: actually never ever been to Michigan, and you feel like 69 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 4: major commerce. Now the final four is either next year 70 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 4: or the year after, so I'll probably go. But uh, 71 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,839 Speaker 4: you know, big city, big college sports, Michigan, Michigan state. 72 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 3: I've never been to the state of Michigan. 73 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 2: Jason Stewart and view, Uh, is there any state on 74 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 2: your US map that you would like to color in 75 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 2: that you've been in. 76 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 6: I've heard a lot about Oregon. It's kind of my 77 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 6: temperament too. I kind of like rainy and dreary and uh, 78 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 6: it's beautiful, lot of hiking. 79 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that would be a spot for you. Absolutely, 80 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 2: Sam Well. 81 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 7: I was just gonna say, I've done the trip from 82 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 7: Iowa to Pennsylvania a couple of times, and you usually 83 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 7: will drive through Wheeling, West Virginia to get into Pennsylvania. 84 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 7: So I have driven through the Green Hills of West Virginia, 85 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 7: very beautiful state. 86 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 2: Really, you don't just go straight through Chicago, off through Gary, 87 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: across some reason. 88 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 3: And Cleveland. 89 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 7: It's just always taken me through Wheeling, there's a little 90 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 7: parcel of West Virginia and then going into Pennsylvania. 91 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 3: So I've not been to Montana. I'd love to go. 92 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 7: There 've been to Wyoming, I've been to some of 93 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 7: the surrounding states, but not not been to Montana. 94 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 3: Have you been to Mississippi. I've not been to Mississippi. 95 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin has. It's just how long will he be 96 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 2: in Mississippi is the question. And we could find out 97 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 2: erin Torres quite possibly as soon as today. I was 98 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: not snooping erin Torres. But I know you were looking 99 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 2: at a flight plan. No, someone took a flight plan 100 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 2: on a tweet and made their own drawing. Well, no, 101 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 2: it was. It was not an actual flight plan. You 102 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,559 Speaker 2: know what they drew, But that's people trying to track 103 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin. Well, no, what I was actually looking at. 104 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: He's been post shuttle no'll just put it that way. 105 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: I don't know if he's been posting Bible versus or something. 106 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: But they're very specific, like be in the moment, da da, 107 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 2: So some guy put out on Twitter this morning. Lane 108 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 2: Kiffin's devotional book is getting eerily specific and a little biting, 109 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,239 Speaker 2: and it opens with your fifth in the nation, around 110 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 2: the custom of the college football playoffs. So it was 111 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 2: obviously a photo shop of these very emo things that 112 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin has been posting. But to your point, Dan, 113 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 2: I don't think we're gonna get any clarification by the 114 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 2: end of the show. 115 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 3: But Lane Kiffin is scheduled. 116 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 4: To meet with his AD today and I guess what 117 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 4: I would say is I think if the AD, if 118 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,119 Speaker 4: he tells the AD that I'm not in a rush 119 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 4: to make a final decision, like like, I think there's 120 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 4: this perception like would olemiss really move off of him 121 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 4: in the middle of a playoff run. I think they 122 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 4: would because I think they've They've sat there and said, 123 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 4: we've given you everything that you've asked for, We've done 124 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 4: it your way, we've been whatever, and it's like, we 125 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 4: can't wait until the middle of December into maybe January 126 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 4: for you to make a final decision because it cuts 127 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 4: our roster, it limits the people that could potentially replace you. 128 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 4: And if you don't plan on being here long term, 129 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 4: or more specifically, if you're not sure at some point, 130 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 4: we do need an answer because I think they they're 131 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 4: not going to be left at the altar, And so 132 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 4: there is a meeting today, and like I said, if 133 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 4: they get the impression that he really needs another couple 134 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 4: of weeks to look around. I think they really seriously 135 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 4: may kick him to the curb if so. 136 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 2: Kiffin on the Pat mccaffee Show said that there was 137 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 2: no ultimatum given previously. Now to your point, there may 138 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 2: be one today. The conversation that has built up is 139 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 2: if Lane Kiffin isn't the coach for ole Miss after 140 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 2: the Egg Bowl next week against the Mississippi State, should 141 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 2: that alter their ranking in the College for Conversation and 142 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 2: I we touched on it briefly yesterday. I think it's 143 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 2: different than Jordan Travis. I think it's different with players. 144 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 2: I don't think that it should affect their standing. We 145 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 2: saw Florida State play a game without Jordan Travis and 146 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 2: it wasn't good. We saw Ohio State play their game 147 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 2: without JD. Barrett with Cardile Jones and it was really 148 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 2: good and that allowed them to get into the into 149 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 2: the bracket. It's now different with a twelve team bracket 150 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 2: as opposed to just the four. But I think it's 151 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 2: I don't think that ole Miss should be penalized if 152 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin were to leave and then not coach the 153 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 2: team in the playoff. 154 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it becomes how do you quantify, like, 155 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 4: how would you quantify, like, if they finish eleven and 156 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 4: one with Lane Kiffin, is he worth a win? Is 157 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 4: he were two wins? Is he worth a ranking? Is 158 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 4: he worth whatever? Like, I actually agree with you. I 159 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 4: think it's an interesting conversation, and it's one where, like 160 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 4: you know, sometimes you just kind of see stuff percolate 161 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 4: on social media and you say, well, that's just the 162 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 4: dumbest thing I've ever heard. I don't think this is 163 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 4: dumb from the perspective of it isn't a conversation that 164 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 4: we're allowed to have. Like, I think it makes sense 165 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 4: to at least bring up this conversation. But I don't 166 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 4: think the committee can sit there and say, well, they 167 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 4: were the sixth seed, but now that lane Kiffin's gone, 168 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 4: there the nine seed. I don't think they can do that. 169 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 4: I don't think that they would. But a couple of things. One, 170 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 4: you know, Ole miss has to win one more game 171 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 4: before we figure all that out. And then two, I 172 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 4: think as importantly, we got to see how everything else 173 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 4: shakes up. 174 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 2: Are you and I'm just guessing in this, but I'm 175 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 2: getting a sense that maybe you're not loving what's going 176 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 2: on with Lane Kiffin? Will that be a fair assessment, 177 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 2: you're not loving all of the gamesmanship. 178 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 4: I think two things are true. I think any life 179 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 4: choice you make, I think you're certainly allowed to evaluate 180 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 4: everything and gather information. And so I think I don't 181 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 4: think Lane Kiffin purposely wanted it to get out that 182 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 4: his family was basically doing an SEC tour earlier this week. 183 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 4: So I understand that. What I also do understand. What 184 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 4: I also do believe is that you are in the 185 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 4: middle of the greatest season in the history of ole 186 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 4: Miss football, at least since all of us have been alive. 187 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 4: I don't know what happened in nineteen fifty seven with 188 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 4: Johnny vaud as the head coach, whatever, I do believe 189 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 4: that you kind of owe it to these people, this 190 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 4: fan base that has had your back, that gave you 191 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 4: a shot when nobody else was really in line to 192 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 4: hire you at an SEC caliber job, to not string 193 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 4: it along because the thing is, like, you know, you obviously, 194 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 4: being in sports, you're probably a little bit more in 195 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 4: tune with it than most. But his last three or 196 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 4: four press conferences, not even forget after the Florida game. 197 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 4: I'm talking the Monday Tuesday, in the lead up to 198 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 4: the Florida game. It was very specific questions about are 199 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 4: you gonna be the coach here next year? What makes 200 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 4: a great job, And it's just taking such a spotlight 201 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 4: off of your team and off of a school that 202 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 4: has given you so much opportunity. So I guess what 203 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 4: I would say is I understand him wanting to do 204 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 4: the due diligence, but now that it's out, I don't 205 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 4: think you can string this along for another three weeks 206 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 4: and say I'll make cause cause and a quick backstory 207 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 4: every old misfan two weeks ago their boilerplint response was 208 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 4: he doesn't make any decisions until after the season. That's 209 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 4: how he's always done it. Whatever, Well, this sea literally 210 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 4: might not end until the middle of January, but at 211 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 4: minimum probably will not get any sort of real resolution 212 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 4: until Christmas time. And I don't think you can wait 213 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 4: that long in this era. 214 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 3: See I look. 215 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 2: At Ole miss and from their position right now, I 216 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 2: understand that you wouldn't want to wait till January eight, 217 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 2: Or if you're happening to make the championship game and 218 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 2: go on a run, you wouldn't want to wait till 219 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 2: the third or fourth week of January to end up 220 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 2: finding a head coach. But if Lane Kiffen being at 221 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 2: ole Miss at that point would lead them through the playoffs, 222 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 2: I don't know how ole Miss could say we don't 223 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 2: want you here. I don't think it's the Bochem Beckler 224 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 2: to have a Michigan man in telling Bill Frieder, you're 225 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 2: not going to coach this team because you took the 226 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 2: Arizona State job. We're going with Steve Fisher way back 227 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 2: when nineteen eighty nine. I don't think that that's the 228 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 2: case with ole Miss. To your point of this being 229 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 2: the greatest ole Miss season that they would have had, 230 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 2: that they may have had an history if he delivers 231 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 2: on that, especially in today's day and age of transfer portal. 232 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 2: And I understand that the late window, but I would 233 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 2: almost sacrifice that to be able to have the run 234 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 2: that you could have with your head coach. I just 235 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 2: don't know if LSU would want to wait that long 236 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 2: or Florida would want to wait that long to And 237 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 2: I don't know if Florida's still in it or not. 238 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 2: Maybe they are, maybe they aren't. But if I'm LSU, 239 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 2: I can't I understand the pride of it all. But 240 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 2: this is your special season and to let it run. 241 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 2: I just I would want him to be the head coach. 242 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 4: Okay, so I'm gonna do the worst thing in radio, 243 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 4: and you and I have had this conversation. I'm gonna 244 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 4: say I actually see both sides of that conversation. I 245 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 4: absolutely see your side of you have a chance to 246 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,839 Speaker 4: do something really special and you worry about the end. 247 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 4: At the end, I think the way Old missees it is, Hey, dude, 248 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 4: we and it's in large part because of Lane Kiffin. 249 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 4: It's like we are on the press because of you, 250 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 4: but because you also told us what we need from 251 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 4: a financial standpoint, from an infrastructure standpoint, from whatever. And 252 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 4: we believe that we can keep this going if there 253 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 4: is a world that you are not part of this. 254 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 4: What we don't believe can happen is we wait until 255 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 4: late December when all of the good candidates are gone. 256 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 4: We wait until late December when the signing you know, 257 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 4: when the signing class either has to sign or they don't. 258 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 4: We wait until late December when the portal is opening. 259 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 4: We still don't even have a coach. Our players can 260 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 4: go in, but we have nobody to recruit them. Yes, 261 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 4: this job is great in large part because of you now, 262 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 4: but this job is also now great period, and we 263 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 4: could lose a lot of the momentum that we've built 264 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 4: up over the last four or five six years thanks 265 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 4: in large part to you, but that we don't want 266 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 4: to put ourselves in. 267 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 3: So I actually see both sides. 268 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 4: I actually think your point is very salient and like 269 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,959 Speaker 4: on brand of like, you don't get many chances anywhere 270 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 4: to win championships and if you're a level in one 271 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 4: and you're in position to do it, just ride it 272 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 4: out and whatever happens after happens after. But I understand 273 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 4: their point of like basically, hey, this is now a 274 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,599 Speaker 4: great job and we're gonna lose a ton of momentum 275 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 4: if you walk out on December twenty ninth, and we 276 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 4: don't really have a backup plan ready for you. 277 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 2: Do you think that ole Miss will rise to the 278 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 2: level of what LSU is like in terms of competing finances, revenues, 279 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 2: what they put in. I don't think that they can. 280 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 2: I don't think that they will. So like I don't 281 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 2: blame don't blame Lane Kiffen for competing my thing with 282 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 2: ole Miss. And the reason I asked the question is 283 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 2: it actually takes some gumption to be like, this is 284 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 2: the reality of it, this is this is the reality, 285 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,959 Speaker 2: and I understand the reality. So to sit there and 286 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 2: think that you're gonna compete, like, no matter how great 287 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 2: schools were in the Big Ten, they always do that. 288 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 2: Michigan and Ohio State were different beasts and some of 289 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 2: the reasons schools had successes because they under stood that, 290 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 2: they understood what their path is. Now college sports has 291 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 2: changed over the last couple of years. But instead of 292 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 2: trying to become a Michigan in Ohio State, you have 293 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 2: to find your own past. And I'm Wisconsin exactly specifically. 294 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 2: It's who I had in mind, maybe even Iowa for 295 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 2: that matter, and talking about the Hawkeyes and realizing we're 296 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 2: never gonna be that, so let's figure out the best 297 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 2: way for us to succeed. I think that would show 298 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 2: something with Ole miss because I don't think that they 299 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 2: can and I don't think it's a guarantee. We've seen 300 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 2: how people have tried to feel in at Florida, they 301 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 2: still haven't found anybody to replace urban Meyer. After all 302 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: of these years we've tried, Like, it's no guarantee that 303 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 2: the next guy you get is going to work after 304 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin, So why not max. 305 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 3: Out as much as you can and realize who you are? 306 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, listen, I would love to yell and scream and 307 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 4: say I totally disagree with you. I think there is 308 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 4: something to that. I also just think that they feel like, hey, 309 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 4: we can't wait until. I think the big thing, Dan 310 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 4: is it's not just losing Lane Kiffin. 311 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 3: It's who would be available. 312 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 4: If you let if you let this run out and 313 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 4: we'll worry about next year next year. It's who would 314 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 4: even be available on January seventh, December twenty ninth, whatever. 315 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 4: And I'm gonna nerd out on college football a little bit. 316 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 4: But you know, John Somerl, who's the two lane head coach, 317 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 4: was an assistant at Old Miss from the state of Alabama, 318 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 4: so Alburn is interested in him. There were conflicting reports 319 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 4: on if you was gonna interview with Florida or not. 320 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 4: I bring it up because I think Old Miss thinks 321 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 4: we can get that guy who's having a ton of success, 322 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 4: who Auburn wants, who Florida wants, but we obviously he 323 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 4: will not even be available to us on January seventh 324 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 4: or whatever. And so that's where I think it does 325 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 4: become a little bit conflicting. Is is just the notion 326 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 4: of I understand what you're saying of it doesn't matter 327 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 4: who you get. By the way, it doesn't matter if 328 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 4: you keep laying Kiffin. There's no guarantee you'll ever be 329 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 4: in this position again. I think their thing is I think, 330 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 4: let me put it this way. I think we look 331 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 4: at it as it's the portal era. You can make 332 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 4: it all up really fast, and it's like, I think 333 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 4: the opposite is true too. It's the portal era. It 334 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 4: can crumble really fast. And I think that's probably their 335 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 4: fear of letting this play out with link I. 336 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 2: Just rather cash in on this season if it doesn't 337 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 2: work after that. We've seen the coaching carousel be completely 338 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 2: foreign from anything we've known previously in college football this year. 339 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 2: I mean, James Franklin was the head coach at Penn 340 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 2: State a month and a half ago, right and now 341 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 2: he's leading Virginia Tech program, who still has a home 342 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 2: game on their schedule coming up tomorrow against Miami. I 343 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 2: think that you can turn things around. And no disrespect 344 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 2: to John Sumral who's been in a lot of coaching jobs, 345 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 2: but to your point, if he could be a target 346 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 2: for Ole Miss and if he goes to Auburn, which 347 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 2: a lot of people think that he's likely going to, 348 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 2: then you're thinking like, oh, we missed out, but we're 349 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 2: really gonna do this and waste our maybe best season 350 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 2: ever because we think that John Sumral was the guy. Well, 351 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 2: then like, I don't know, I'd rather wait and see 352 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 2: what I would have for Lane and the rest of 353 00:16:58,480 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 2: this year. 354 00:16:58,840 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 3: And move on. 355 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 4: I know, really gotta go. Let me one quick question though, 356 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 4: how much of this is online? 357 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 3: Kiffin? 358 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 4: Right, because let's go back to the famous Denny Green 359 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 4: Denny Green or is it Denny Green? Or you play 360 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 4: to win the game. Well, Lane Kiffin, you're winning the games. 361 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 4: I know what LSU is hypothetically on a piece of 362 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 4: paper or Florida is hype. But you're doing everything, like 363 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 4: everything that you could hypothetically do three years from now 364 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 4: at LSU, you're doing right now at Old miss And 365 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 4: that's the part that I think is kind of mind 366 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 4: boggling to me. I do think to your point, big 367 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 4: picture thirty thousand foot view, LSU probably is more sustainable 368 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 4: over a five, ten, fifteen year period than Old Misses. 369 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, you're. 370 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 4: Never gonna be better than eleven and ten and one 371 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,719 Speaker 4: and in the playoff, regardless of what happens at your 372 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 4: last regular season game at LSU than the yard one. 373 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 2: I think the most interesting thing you said there is 374 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 2: that the LSU job could be open again in three years. True, right, 375 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 2: Like that's like, that's the point Roy Williams turn down 376 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 2: North Carolina a couple of times at Kansas and then 377 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 2: when he ultimately needed to take over, he took over, 378 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 2: but he had options to leave and go back home, 379 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 2: and he didn't. He stayed. They went with other coaches. 380 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 2: This is the same thing where guess what LSU actually 381 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 2: may be there three year still on the line and 382 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 2: go so well. 383 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 4: Remember he almost took the Auburn job about three four 384 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 4: years ago because he thought he had to get out. 385 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,919 Speaker 4: And imagine if he had taken the I mean, I'm 386 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 4: sure he'd be awesome. But it's like now LSU and 387 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 4: Florid are fighting over you. Listen, we talked a second ago. 388 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 4: We talked about Kaylen Debor, who knows what his future Anyway, 389 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 4: We could go on and on, but I think there's 390 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 4: something to these good jobs. 391 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 3: He's fifty years old. These good jobs are going to 392 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 3: open again. 393 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 2: And almost doesn't even have a game this weekend, so 394 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 2: they're on and by Oregon USC are not. 395 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 8: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 396 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 8: the nation.

Aaron and I were 420 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 2: just talking about Lane Kiffin. Are there any Lane Kiffin 421 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 2: wagers that we could make and whether he stays or 422 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 2: goes or are those off the board? 423 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 3: No such thing. No, No, that you can. 424 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 5: You can make that bet in fact right now. And 425 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 5: I've been using the prediction markets, which by the way, 426 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 5: is the future of gambling. I think based off of 427 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 5: what I'm hearing right now, Lin Kiffin's a seventy eight 428 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 5: percent probability to go to LSU. It's up significantly today. 429 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 5: The prediction markets are fascinating with the head coach stuff. 430 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 5: Guys like for example, Penn State, it was pretty much 431 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 5: Eli drink What's for a long period of time. We've 432 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 5: seen some Bob Chesney money come in today. The jmu 433 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 5: head coach. I think that has some legs. In Florida Land, 434 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 5: it's a little bit more undecided. Jedfish is the favorite 435 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 5: currently and I think that's gonna be the more interesting 436 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 5: domino right Lsu to me is the most high profile, 437 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 5: best job remaining. I think Lane is gonna be kind 438 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 5: of the you know, kicking it off, you know, and 439 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 5: then once he makes his decision, I think that'll, you know, 440 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 5: the pieces will fall into places very quickly after that, 441 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 5: I think, well. 442 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 4: I'll tell you really quick. We got not really late 443 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 4: breaking news, but Lane Kiffin was meeting with his a 444 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 4: D to day, Keith Carter, and Keith Carter just put 445 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 4: out a statement. It's a long one, but it ends 446 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 4: with an announcement on coach. Kiffin's future is expected the 447 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 4: Saturday following the game. So another another week of just 448 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 4: where is Layla Kiffin? Where is Knox Kiffen? And uh, 449 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 4: you know, we'll see what we get. So Jared, let 450 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 4: me ask you this really quick. I think that says 451 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 4: a lot. 452 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 2: By the way, We're gonna play on Friday, right, yeah, yeah, 453 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 2: So you're waiting a day like if you were to 454 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 2: just announce it later in the week, once you say 455 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 2: I'm staying in Oxford, and everybody loves it in the 456 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 2: locker room, but they're going to wait a day after 457 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 2: the game. 458 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 5: If he's staying, he's leaving. I mean, I mean, if 459 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 5: he's if he's if they're announcing it after the game, 460 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 5: he's leaving. I agree with that one hundred percent. 461 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, very interesting, not leaving for Penn State, right, Jared? 462 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 4: So where are we at with Penn State? Since I 463 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 4: know you're a PSU guy. 464 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 3: I think it's drink wits. I do. 465 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 5: I got that text message pretty early in the process 466 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 5: from a couple people that I trust that he's the 467 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 5: top guy on the board. I think it makes sense 468 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 5: when you consider the fact that he just convinced the 469 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 5: number one high school recruit in the state of Pennsylvania 470 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 5: at least, I should say, the number one quarterback recruit, Zalors, 471 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 5: to go to Columbia Missouri. So obviously there's a strong 472 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 5: connection to Pennsylvania recruiting. He just got Bopabula to transfer 473 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 5: from Penn State last year, and he also convinced some 474 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 5: really good defensive players to transfer in. I believe the 475 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 5: Wilson kid from Georgia. You convinced one of the best 476 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 5: linebackers at Georgia to leave Kirby Smart and Georgia and 477 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 5: play at Missouri. And I know money had something to 478 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 5: do with it, but let's be honest. All these programs 479 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 5: have money now, so there has to be some kind 480 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 5: of differentiator to why you want to go to Missouri 481 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 5: and not somewhere else. And I do think his style 482 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 5: is a little more fiery. I don't know much about 483 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 5: him personally, but I do think, based off of what 484 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 5: I've heard from people that I think are pretty connected 485 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 5: to the program, and based off of some of those 486 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 5: other recruiting pieces that I can put in place, like 487 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 5: that would be my first choice. Aaron, it does seem 488 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 5: like Chesney has some buzz here. He's a Pennsylvania guy. 489 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 5: He's from central Pennsylvania. But to me, if you go 490 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,199 Speaker 5: from James Franklin to Bob Chesney, it's to me a 491 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 5: massive downgrade. Obviously, Kraft overplayed his hand. Think he could 492 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 5: get one of these big guys to calm. Maybe it 493 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 5: was Elcho, maybe it was Key, maybe it. 494 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 3: Was Kaylin de Boor. 495 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 5: And now all of those guys have kind of slipped 496 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 5: through your fingers and now you're dealing with, you know, 497 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 5: the second choice. But to me, Eli Drinkwitz, who has 498 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 5: a very good pedigree, you know, turning programs Droun like. 499 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 5: To me, Eli Drinkwitz is Chesney from five years ago, 500 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 5: what he did with app State. So I think Drinkwitz 501 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 5: would be the number one choice in my eyes, the 502 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 5: way I see you playing out now, I think Lsu 503 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 5: gets Laine. I think Jed Fish goes to Florida. I 504 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 5: think Drinkwitz goes to Penn State, and then I think 505 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 5: we filtered down from there. 506 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 2: All right, let's focus on the games coming up this weekend. 507 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,959 Speaker 2: An interesting weekend because it's kind of the s in 508 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 2: a week between the rivalry games. So Ole Miss we 509 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 2: mentioned earlier, they have a bye this week. You've got 510 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 2: some of the the also rans Alabama, Eastern Ill Yeah yeah, 511 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 2: hire me up hey. But we do have in the 512 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 2: big ten USC and Oregon, to me, the most intriguing contest. 513 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 2: The line stayed pretty consistent at least over the last 514 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 2: forty eight hours. Looks like Oregon is still a ten 515 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 2: point favorite. Does the USC have a shot in this one? 516 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 5: I think they have a shot, to my understanding. Let 517 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 5: me pull this over here, I think every time it's 518 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 5: touched ten, it's gotten bought back down. Actually no, there 519 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 5: actually is a ten and a half out there, but 520 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 5: every time it seems to have gotten to ten, it 521 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 5: seems like that's where the that's where the USC money 522 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 5: comes in. So if you're seeing a ten and a 523 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 5: half out there, I think you should feel comfortable that 524 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 5: if you bet USC plus ten and a half, you're 525 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 5: not gonna be you know, holding on to eleven and 526 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 5: it's not gonna go to eleven or twelve come Saturday. 527 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 5: Oregon needs a game like blood Guys. They're not getting 528 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 5: in with two losses, not with their schedule. They need 529 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 5: to win this game. I do think talented secondary for USC. 530 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 5: They've been fantastic against the pass this year, but I 531 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 5: think it's a little bit of fools gold because since 532 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 5: Week five they're a terrible pressure eight team. Their pass 533 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 5: rush grades outside the top eighty, and they're really bad 534 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 5: in affecting the quarterback. And I think that's where Dante 535 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 5: More might have a big edge in this game. They 536 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 5: need somebody USC does to step up and pass rush 537 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 5: the heck out of More in this game and make 538 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 5: him uncomfortable because when he has been uncomfortable go watch 539 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 5: the Indiana film and even the Iowa film, although the 540 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 5: weather and the surroundings might have had something to do 541 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 5: with that more than the Iowa pass rush. I do 542 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 5: think you're gonna have, you know, some issues. But if 543 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 5: he's in a clean pocket and they can run the ball, 544 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 5: and they've run it really well this year, I think 545 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 5: that's where I see some issues for USC when I 546 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 5: went back last So last week I watched the Iowa 547 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 5: you know, to prep for the Iowa game. I watched 548 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 5: the Notre Dame USC film because I wanted to see 549 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 5: how USC's defense handled a physical running game, and Danton 550 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 5: Lynn played his two safeties deep like the entire game, 551 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 5: and Notre Dame ran it all over USC. So is 552 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 5: Lynn gonna be stubborn and bring that extra safety down 553 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 5: and force oregonna throw it? Or is he gonna let 554 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 5: a very good trio of Oregon backs just kind of 555 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 5: run wild in this game and give Dante more clean 556 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 5: pocket by not putting pressure. So I see some issues 557 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 5: for us he stopping it in this game. But on 558 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 5: the other side of my av has been fantastic elite 559 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 5: pair of ACE receivers in Lemon and lane, and Oregon 560 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 5: plays a ton of quarters coverage, and that's what USC 561 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 5: has been really good against this year. Actually, Oregon plays 562 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 5: it at the highest rate of any team in college football, 563 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 5: and US he's had a lot of success over ten 564 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 5: yards per play, third most in the Power for against 565 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,439 Speaker 5: quarters coverage. So we'll see how the Oregon secondary handles 566 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 5: the USC offense. But I think in general, organ should 567 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 5: have an advantage in this game because of their offensive line, 568 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 5: because of how they can run the ball. 569 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 3: I know we got to get to some NFL but 570 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 3: really quickly. 571 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 4: I believe Oklahoma opened about a nine to nine and 572 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 4: a half point favorite, seeing in one sports book it 573 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 4: is down to six and a half. 574 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 3: Just mentioned Eli Drikowitz. 575 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 4: Is he gonna ruin some playoff dreams here before he 576 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 4: potentially goes to Penn State. 577 00:26:58,400 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 3: I don't think so. 578 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 5: I think this line move is more Purbula is probably 579 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 5: gonna play, and the market is adjusting accordingly. I think 580 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 5: it's probably adjusting too much. We talk about this in 581 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 5: the NFL all the time, like there's grades for each quarterback, 582 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 5: and when one leaves and the other one enters, we 583 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 5: upgrade downgrade the line. But let's say that Joe Burrow situation, 584 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 5: like Joe Burrow is gonna play this week, but he's 585 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,360 Speaker 5: not one hundred percent Joe Burrow, so we can't upgrade 586 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 5: the Bengals fully with Burrow back. I think it's the 587 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 5: same thing for Missouri, like Pabula's back, but how healthy 588 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 5: is he and is he going to be one hundred percent. 589 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 5: If that's the case, then this line maybe he's moved 590 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 5: a little bit too much. You get a little bit 591 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 5: of value on Oklahoma. I do like the Missouri run 592 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 5: offense first and yards after contact this year. A Mott 593 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 5: Hardy is a freak. Oklahoma's really good at tackling at 594 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 5: the second level, and they're fantastic at defending explosives. They 595 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 5: don't give up a lot of explosive runs this year. 596 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 5: I think the more interesting matchup is on the other 597 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 5: side of the ball iron Oklahoma's offense against the Missoi defense. 598 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 5: We talked about Wilson and Young off the edge. They 599 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 5: got McClellan in the middle is an absolute, you know 600 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 5: man eater. But Missouri won of four schools this year 601 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 5: top ten both pass rush and rushing grade, so they 602 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 5: get after you in the passing game and they can 603 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 5: stop the run, and Oklahoma's been a little bit inconsistent 604 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 5: on offense this year. Their offensive line is good at 605 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 5: pass blocking, not great at run blocking. So I'll be 606 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 5: interested to see how healthy material is and how the 607 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 5: Oklahoma offense looks, because that, to me is the side 608 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 5: of the ball that's going to determine who wins. 609 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 2: Well, I got one more college football and it's kind 610 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 2: of just it's a topic Aaron and I have talked 611 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,439 Speaker 2: about a little off air. We're going to dive into it, 612 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 2: but I'm just gonna ask you it. Ohio State hasn't 613 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 2: had Cardell Tait as of late. Jeremiah Smith is dinged out, 614 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,360 Speaker 2: but they're an overwhelming favorite against Rutgers with that game 615 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 2: against Michigan looming. If you were to bet this game 616 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,719 Speaker 2: in Columbus on Saturday, how would you go about it? 617 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 2: Considering the big stakes that Ohio statu is moving forward 618 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 2: and the health of some of their better players right 619 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 2: now is in question. 620 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 5: Good question. I think neither of those guys play this week. Dan, 621 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 5: that's my gut. I agree, why would you play them? 622 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 5: I mean, it's fair to ask questions about who Ohio 623 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 5: State's played in the schedule, and all that stuff. Like, 624 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 5: I understand that we talked about it with Brian last 625 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,719 Speaker 5: week and he made the take that he thinks Ohio 626 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 5: State is a fraud, very overrated, and I'm not quite there. 627 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 5: I actually think they're the team that has the least 628 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 5: amount of questions about them in the country. But I 629 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 5: think it is fair to question some of the things 630 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 5: that they've done this season. I think both of those teams, 631 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 5: Michigan and Ohio State, I would be shocked if you 632 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 5: get one hundred percent peak. Although to be fair, Michigan's 633 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 5: got a much better matchup I think against Maryland, but 634 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 5: Ohio State's still probably gonna be without both those guys 635 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 5: this week. 636 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, the funny thing is is that you may not 637 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 2: believe in them, but the games that they were supposed 638 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 2: to have on their schedule. 639 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, the Penn State name. 640 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 4: I hate to say it's aired, but Penn State screwed 641 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 4: up a lot of things. 642 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 3: For a lot of it. 643 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 4: You mentioned Oregon's resume, Dan to your point that Ohio 644 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 4: State resume doesn't look as good without Penn State. 645 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 3: They screwed up a lot of things. I agree. Yeah, yeah, crazy, Well. 646 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 5: We're great at that right, We're just screwing things up 647 00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 5: for everyone else. 648 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 2: A great line.

That's why I get ready to learn coach 718 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 4: and search Keith Carter because it's it's over. 719 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 2: The Egg Bowl is Fridays, we mentioned, and so to 720 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 2: schedule a press conference on Saturday tells me that you're 721 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 2: trying to separate yourself from the outcome of the game 722 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 2: instead of just piggybacking off what is likely going to 723 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 2: be a victory. Now again, rivalries throw them out the window, 724 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 2: But that to me is I would, honestly, I would 725 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 2: rather just have had speculation go on the week than 726 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 2: to have this statement be released. 727 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 3: If you're an old. 728 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 2: Misfit, right, yes, absolutely, yes, this kind of tells you 729 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 2: what's about to happen. You might as well just say 730 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 2: that he's he's gone. Then well that point. 731 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 4: And that's that's what I was gonna say. Is I 732 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 4: think the theme is, hey, enjoy this. I think now 733 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 4: you can get zero joy out of it knowing what's coming. 734 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 4: Does that make sense, like, like, hey, let's not take 735 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 4: away this is an incredible season. Enjoy enjoy. It's about 736 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 4: the journey, not the destination. It's like, yeah, if the 737 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 4: destination is gonna end in a car crash and a 738 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 4: fire everywhere, then yeah, I'm not gonna enjoy the journey 739 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 4: alongside the destination. Okay, Sorry, now you're good. I hope 740 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 4: everyone in federal prison. That wasn't too much for everybody 741 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 4: in federal prison. 742 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 2: All right, Jason Stewart, Oh, I'm sorry. I just I 743 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 2: just think that it's unfortunate. I thought that even if 744 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 2: he was gonna leave for LSU, I would like for 745 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 2: him to coach throughout And now like this has been announced. 746 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 3: Hey, and yeah, I have a question. I have a 747 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 3: question for you after my I. 748 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 7: Have a question for you, guys. 749 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 9: What is the point of making this announcement? 750 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 8: Why not? 751 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 9: Is there like something like calendar wise about right? 752 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:08,240 Speaker 3: Daren's point. 753 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 2: You don't want to lose out on a candidate that 754 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:11,880 Speaker 2: may take another job elsewhere. 755 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 4: Right, But as of right now, I think it's actually 756 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 4: a pr misstep. I think it's go ahead and enjoy 757 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 4: this week. Don't worry about this. But now it's all 758 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 4: anyone's gonna worry about, I will say really quickly, Dan, 759 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 4: we talked about if Lane kiff is not available, if 760 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 4: they lose this game, very bad loss without your head coach, 761 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 4: and there's gonna be a ton of two loss teams. 762 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 4: I think you can absolutely make the argument that if 763 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 4: they lose this game and Kiffen leaves, you could make 764 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:44,800 Speaker 4: the other Now, I guess they have the head to 765 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 4: head win over Oklahoma, which could hypothetically be a ten 766 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 4: to two team as well. I think that should change 767 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,399 Speaker 4: the committee's perspective if they were to lose this game. 768 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 2: But yeah, different scenario if you're talking about a one 769 00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,279 Speaker 2: loss versus a two loss team. Oh yeah, if they lose, yeah, yeah, yeah, 770 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 2: they're firmly in the bracket right now, and with a 771 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 2: twelve team bracket. Again, it's different from the other situations 772 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,359 Speaker 2: we talked about. All Right, you got other stuff, Manci Yeah, 773 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 2: I got. 774 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,439 Speaker 9: A quick one here, really quick one. The jersey worn 775 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 9: by Jacoby Brissett last Sunday when he set the NFL's 776 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 9: all time single game record with forty seven completions is 777 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,439 Speaker 9: now on display at the Pro Football Hall of Fame 778 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 9: in Canton, Ohio. 779 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 2: All Right, maybe this starter next year for the Arizona Cardinals. 780 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 2: I know, Iowa Sam doesn't think that after yesterday's a 781 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,359 Speaker 2: game that we played. But I'll tell you what, it's 782 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 2: making it less and less likely that Kyler Murray's back 783 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 2: is the starter for Arizona and they have a chance 784 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:39,360 Speaker 2: to beat the Jaguars this weekend. 785 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 3: Does Arizona without Marvin Arison Junior? Crazy? Did that last week? Crazy? 786 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 3: There's your Cardinals football bite. 787 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 4: Shador Sanders may or may not go to can this weekend, 788 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 4: depending on how he plays. So oh wow, No, I'm kidding. 789 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 4: That's how people act if he does. 790 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 2: If he plays well, though, And that's the press they 791 00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 2: get out there and press. 792 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 8: That was the press. 793 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,919 Speaker 3: You and Jamart Saturday nights, and you and I on Thursday. 794 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 2: And we'll be back on Thanksgiving for our annual friends 795 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 2: Giving next week.
