1 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,959 Speaker 1: And welcome to Lake Kick is Live. It is Sunday night, 2 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: January ninth, ar Our Lord, twenty twenty two. We are 3 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,439 Speaker 1: not in Nashville, Tennessee. I don't think we're in a 4 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: white T shirt for that matter. But we are in Indianapolis, Indiana, 5 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: just across the street from Lucas Oil Stadium. That's where 6 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,639 Speaker 1: it all goes down Tomorrow night, Alabama versus Jordan. We 7 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: saw it a month ago in Atlanta. We see it 8 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: again about twenty four hours from now in Indianapolis. It 9 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: was like sixty degrees that night. Is gonna be like 10 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 1: minus sixty tomorrow night. That's fine though. We've been treated 11 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: very well up here, and we continue to be treated well. 12 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: This entire venue actually secured by our friends here in 13 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 1: Indianapolis just for us, makes you for kind of warm 14 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: and specialist. Gotta let's talk about it tonight. As I 15 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: tweeted out earlier today, full Q and A. We're gonna 16 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: take I don't know, like fifty questions from you tonight. 17 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: There are so many different angles with which we could 18 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: attack this game from, you know, the common ones, not casual, 19 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,040 Speaker 1: but the common angles that we've taken. I'll hit some 20 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: more odds and ends tonight, some observations that we've had 21 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 1: both in front of the camera and behind the scenes 22 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,199 Speaker 1: here in Indianapolis, and then we're just gonna get ready 23 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: and go to sleep, kind of like our Christmas Eve 24 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: National Championship tomorrow. So glad that you were joining us, 25 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: and make sure you're following on all the social channels 26 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: at Late Kick Josh, We're gonna have a ton of 27 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: coverage tomorrow, a ton of content tomorrow. As you know 28 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: usually the case when we get in these games. We 29 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: got a lot of behind the scenes stuff for you 30 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 1: that you normally don't get to see. So here's what 31 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. And for those of you who don't 32 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: check out the Late Kick Extra podcast, this is a 33 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: really good tease as to what that format is. All 34 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: we do is wall to wall Q and A. Here's 35 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: why that's a good idea because it let you drive 36 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: the show, so I can't possibly screw anything up. 37 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 2: It's all on you. 38 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 1: All I've ever wanted, as I've told you before in life, 39 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: is I just want to credit with none of the blame. 40 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: That's all I've ever wanted, and I think it's not 41 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: too much to ask, so let's dive into the tonight vance. 42 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 2: Actually, no, Vance is not going to lead us all. 43 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: That was my mistake from late Kick Commenter, which by 44 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: the way, is a new Twitter account out there. I 45 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: respect it. I'm all about the parody accounts. Some people 46 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: would report you for gimmick infringement. This is not pro wrestling, 47 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: so I'm not going to do that. But first up 48 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: from Lake at comment or, if I had to bet 49 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 1: on a padlock stat tomorrow night, what would that be? 50 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: For those of you who are unfamiliar, the padlock stat 51 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: is meant for this very setting. Here we are twenty 52 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: four some odd hours away from a game. If there 53 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: was one thing that you could tell us right now 54 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: that would make it not even worth watching the game 55 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: tomorrow night. We already know what the outcome is going 56 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: to be. What would it be? I've said it for 57 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: a month. I'll tell you one more time. It has 58 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 1: nothing to do with Stets and Bennett. I just want 59 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: to know that yards per carry average for Georgia three 60 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: point six. That was the number last game. What are 61 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: we looking at now? We're looking at something in the 62 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: mid fours. We're looking at something in the mid fives. 63 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: I can tell you if George's over five yards per 64 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: carry on the ground, I feel a whole lot better. 65 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: I don't think that's a padlock in terms of definitively 66 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: letting us know who wins that thing. Turnover margin obviously 67 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: it can mean a lot there, but I would feel 68 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: very confident. I'll tell you this, if Peyton State's betting 69 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: money on this game, which we are in a prop fashion, 70 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: which I'll talk about later, and you were to tell 71 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: me Georgia five point four yards per carry, I feel 72 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: very good about the Bulldogs tomorrow now. Conversely, as you know, 73 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: we feel like there's been a little bit too much pressure, 74 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: and not pressure. Pressure's a privilege. There's been a little 75 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 1: bit too much undue criticism on Stetson Bennett, and it's 76 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: been in large part due to the fact that three 77 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: point six yards per care is not going to get 78 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: it done. Bryce Young, make no mistake, could win tomorrow 79 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: night if bam Old runs three point six yards per carry. 80 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: Georgia can't do that. So I'm looking at that. You 81 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: give me that padlocks that in lieu of being able 82 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: to tell me actual turnover margin. 83 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 2: If you tell me. 84 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: Five point eight six point one yards per carry, In 85 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: other words, if George is able to do on the 86 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: ground what they did against the Michigan Wolverines, I feel 87 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: very good about that. I'll tell you one more if 88 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: you could let me know, for that matter, Alabama's yards 89 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: per Carrey. I don't know that it would tell me everything. 90 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: But think back to the SEC championship game. You're watching 91 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: Jamison and Williams there, if you're watching on YouTube right now. 92 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: I think that is the lasting image because your memory 93 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: of a football game works snapshots and highlights, So you 94 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: remember the big Jamison Williams play. I do too. It 95 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: happened right in front of me. But I think what 96 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: maybe you don't remember is when we went into that game, 97 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: everyone's talking about two things. We're talking about Alabama not 98 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: being able to run the ball. Therefore they're talking about 99 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: Bryce Shung having his shoulder the entire load. Whereas, remember 100 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: how this goes, You know how this story ends, steps 101 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: and Bennett does not have to do that because Georgia 102 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: does have the horses and they got the offensive line. Well, 103 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: what did we end up seeing. We saw Alabama outrush Georgia. 104 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: We saw Georgia throw the ball more times than Alabama, 105 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: which is why this kind of thing talking It kind 106 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: of gets old after a while because no one could 107 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: have predicted that. No one expected that. So if you 108 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: could let me know those two things, I would very 109 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: much appreciate it. That's why the dms are always up 110 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,799 Speaker 1: in advance. Is up next? Do you think that recruits 111 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,119 Speaker 1: now value nil money over a school's ability of winning 112 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: a title when deciding which school to attend. This is 113 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: a very very pressing question right now, to be clear, 114 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: is sort of he's megaphoning an argument that a lot 115 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: of people have been making. A lot of people are 116 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: suggesting that we should expand the playoff, and we should 117 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: expand the playoff because if players see more programs get 118 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: in the college football playoff, that will broaden out recruiting, 119 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: that will level off, you know, sort of shave the 120 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: top of the canopy, shave those redwood giant seeds down, 121 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you got a little more 122 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: parody because you've got a little bit more delusion and recruiting, 123 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,799 Speaker 1: and more programs are benefiting because they went to the playoff. 124 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: I think it's total BS. I don't think that's the 125 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: way it will work at all. I think that because 126 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: I talk to players, a lot of people are floating theories. 127 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: I'm telling you when we talk to him, none of 128 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 1: them talk about making the playoff. They may, in the 129 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 1: abstract mention the opportunity to win a championship. None of 130 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 1: them are talking about making the playoff. They're talking about 131 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: being around the best coaching in the country. They're talking 132 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 1: about premier facilities, and they're all really talking about development. 133 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: That's what they want. They want to be developed. So 134 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: in this alternate universe down the road, which is probably 135 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: gonna happen, wherein we have a twelve playoff, does the 136 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna use a team at thin air? Does 137 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: the University of Iowa locking down a nine seed any 138 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: given year does that really give them a benefit over 139 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: the University of Georgia that they otherwise wouldn't have had. 140 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: I say no, absolutely not. I am telling you onequivocally, 141 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 1: I think the nil money is a whole lot more important. 142 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 2: Now you may not like that. 143 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: I don't even particularly like it. I don't necessarily have 144 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 1: to like the words coming out of my mouth to 145 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: know they're true. The nil factor probably five times more 146 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: important than your ability to sneak in the back door 147 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: of the playoff one year and then subsequently go into 148 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: living rooms and say, hey, man, we made the playoff. 149 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: You know you can make the playoff? 150 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 2: Well, us, that's great? 151 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: Am I going to get developed? What kind of branding 152 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: opportunities and what kind of marketability? What kind of profitability 153 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: opportunities do I have? Those used to be the questions 154 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: you asked what you left college. Now that the questions 155 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: you ask when you go to college? What a brave 156 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: new world? And whence we live? Question number three from 157 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: our buddies at college football Nerds. Much of Alabama's offensive 158 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: struggles this year have been in loud road environments. How 159 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: do you view this Bama offense in a setting that's 160 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: going to be even less Georgia partisan than the SEC 161 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: championship game was. This is a really good question. This 162 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: isn't a major league baseball season. I'll grant you that, 163 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: so you don't have like a one hundred and sixty 164 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: two games sample size. But even people who are just 165 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: watching the regular college football season realized after a little 166 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: while Alabama was a different team on the road, especially 167 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: places like Florida, in places like Gosh, College Station, and 168 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: then all the way towards the end of the year 169 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: when they went to Auburn, then they were at the 170 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: beginning of the year in a dome setting against Miami, 171 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: or at the end of the season in the game 172 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: that you're watching on YouTube right now in another same building, 173 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: dome setting against the University of Georgia. Well, what college 174 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: football nerds here is asking is do we think it's 175 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: a factor there? Because that SEC Championship game it was 176 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: like seventy thirty Georgia fans. So now you come up 177 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: to Indianapolis, I honestly I don't have a good feel 178 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: on what the crowd split will be. I think there's 179 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: a little more hunger on the Georgia side of things. 180 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: I think the Georgia fan base probably has owned the 181 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: market a little bit because Bama fans are seeing something 182 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: they've seen in the last well several years several times. 183 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: Georgia fans are still seeking. So you have that dynamic. 184 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: You certainly are not going to have a more partisan 185 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: Georgia crowd in Lucas Oil Stadium than you did in 186 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: Mercedes Benz Stadium. Having said that, I don't really I 187 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: don't really think that the crowd is a net benefit 188 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: either way. Now you could say that just out of principle, 189 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: that is a net benefit for Alabama, simply that it's 190 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: not a net benefit for Georgia. But you know, think 191 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 1: about think about the Georgia pass rush game. It's very 192 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: important to note this. Alabama has elite get off edge 193 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: rushers Will Anderson, Dallas Turner. Both of those guys I 194 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: think are better than anyone that George is going to 195 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: bring off the edge. Georgia gets pressured through manufacturing a 196 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: lot of times. That means bringing guys from the linebacker position. 197 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: What that means in relation a crowd noise is you're 198 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: not really looking for your folks to crank it up 199 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: to where you know, I can have fill in the 200 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: blank get off the edge. That's good for Alabama, it's 201 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: not really the way it's going to work for Georgia. 202 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: So whether they get home or not, I don't really 203 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: think we'll be contingent on how many decibels the Georgia 204 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: crowd's pumping in. Certainly won't hurt them. Just don't think 205 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 1: it really plays a big part in this. All right, 206 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: Next up is I E king gil Oh, here we go? 207 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: So this questions, Juicy says, I've heard, and this is 208 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: a quote. He says, I've heard the quote power five 209 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: is opinion, but twelve and zero is fact. You saw 210 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: that famous poster being held up by a Cincinnati fan 211 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: this year, he says, as well as thirteen and oh 212 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: equals thirteen and oh no matter the conference, Well, did 213 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: Cincinnati's loss completely turn that on its face? What is 214 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: a realistic pathway for G five groups to work their 215 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 1: way up? Is a G five ship where the two 216 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: teams move to power five afterwards? Realistic? So this is 217 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: this is a very very layered question, So let's unpack 218 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: it one by one. The quote that he mentioned pow 219 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 1: Er five his opinion, twelve and oh is fact. What 220 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: that is essentially saying is the same thing I would 221 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: yell full disclosure if I'm a UCF fan, if I 222 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: am a Cincinnati fan, I'd be on the front row, 223 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 1: I'd be holding the post drum. So I get it, 224 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: I get it, I get it. It is in the abstract. 225 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: It's obviously what you're saying is that P five that's 226 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: just this label you guys made up. But what we're watching, 227 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: our actual team winning actual football games. 228 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 2: That's a fact. 229 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: We can dispute what you're saying because that's an illusion 230 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: to us. But this twelve and oh, that's a reality 231 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: to everyone. I get that there's obviously a lot more. 232 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 2: New to the argument. 233 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: Well, for example, I would tell you I watched the 234 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: University of Arkansas this year lose four games. I believe 235 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: in the regular season, I'd probably favor them to go 236 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: eleven and one. 237 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 2: The Cincinnati schedule. 238 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: That's why one of the big lies to us on 239 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: this show about college football is you are what your record. 240 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 2: Says you are. 241 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: Well, in some ways it's factual, Yes, if you're twelve 242 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: and oh, you're twelve and oh, But as it relates 243 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 1: to the grander scheme of the college football playoff picture 244 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: and comparability across conferences, No, you are not simply what 245 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: your record says you are. That's pro sports. This is 246 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: college football. That's an Apple's to bowling balls comparison. Sometimes 247 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:22,719 Speaker 1: that people willfully ignorantly make. Next quote, thirteen and O 248 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: equals thirteen and oh. Think we just addressed that you 249 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: are not always what your record says you are. So 250 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: did Cincinnati's loss completely turn this on its face? Now, 251 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: this is where I'm going to defend the G five. No, No, 252 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: Cincinnati losing a football game to Alabama in the same 253 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: manner that ninety eight percent of the rest of the 254 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: country would or for all we know, one hundred percent, 255 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 1: maybe everyone ends up losing. Alabama they could win a 256 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: national title tomorrow night. No Cincinnati, I think, if anything, 257 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: they validated a lot of what people had said about 258 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: them on the positive side, and I think they silenced 259 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: a lot of their critics. The fact of the matter 260 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: is Cincinnati didn't perform any more poorly than some of 261 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: their Power five brethren had a similar situation against Alabama. 262 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: And secondly, and it would be convenient for me to 263 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: take this argument knowing my overall stance, So I think 264 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: think I deserve some credit here when I'm telling you, 265 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,599 Speaker 1: even me, I'm telling you you can't be judging. You 266 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: can't be broad brushing the entirety of the G five 267 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: over what Cincinnati, especially when I've got respect for the 268 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: product they put on the field. Hey, by the way, 269 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: talk to some folks inside the Alabama program, or just 270 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 1: go listen to Nick Saban's public press conference after the game. 271 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: They had a lot of respect for Cincinnati. They looked 272 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: at Cincinnati and they measured them against you know, the 273 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: rest of the schedule they played. 274 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 2: I'm not going to give you the exact quote. 275 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: It just suffice it to say Cincinnati measured up pretty 276 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: well according to Bama, in Bama's opinion, not to the 277 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: best of the best teams they played, but that next 278 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 1: tier below that Cincinnati a very worthy opponent. But the 279 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 1: follow up to that question was, you know, what can 280 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: what's a realistic pathway like there you see it on YouTube, 281 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: what's a realistic pathway for G five teams to work 282 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: their way up? My answer here is going to be 283 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: a waste of time because my answer is not something 284 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: that it seems anyone is interested in like I am. 285 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: We are staying in the JW. Marriott in downtown Indianapolis. 286 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: For the last two days, all the Power five commissioners, 287 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: the conference commissioners of the G five M Power five 288 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: have been meeting here. I don't exactly know which room 289 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: it is they're meeting in, maybe behind this big logo 290 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: behind me, but they've been meeting here behind basically armed security. 291 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: It's like Fort Nods, except talking about a playoff, and 292 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: they have been talking about how to best structure an 293 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: expanded playoff. Now you know my opinion, but if you don't. 294 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to give it to you one more time. 295 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: It is foolish, in my opinion, to pretend that Akron 296 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: and Alabama play the same caliber of this sport. They 297 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,719 Speaker 1: play the same sport, feels the same dimensions, the ball 298 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 1: weighs the same, it looks the same. 299 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 2: This is not the. 300 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: Same level of competition. Here's the way I've always asked 301 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: about it. If I were to go into Major League Baseball, 302 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: since all you guys want use pro sports, let me 303 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: give you a pro sports angle that actually makes sense. Here. 304 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: If I were to go into the pro sports realm, 305 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 1: and I were to say, okay, let's take the NL 306 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,959 Speaker 1: East and L Central and L West, then let's go 307 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: to the Triple A ranks and let's find the best 308 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: record down there, and let's throw them into postseason. You 309 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: know why, because you are what your record says you are, 310 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: and so you can argue Triple A versus Major League. 311 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: But what you can't do is you can't argue that record. 312 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: You would call me ignorant. You should call me ignorant. 313 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: That's a very ignorant statement. But see, to me, the 314 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: reason why that's obviously ignorant is because we have the 315 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: proper designation. In baseball, you know that there is pro baseball, 316 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: so in not pro baseball, there's Major League Baseball. Then 317 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: there's triple A, DOUAA, single A. We understand there's a 318 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: tear system there. In college sports, especially in football, we 319 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: don't do it. For some reason. We just say one 320 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty teams all in the same. 321 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 2: Category, which is laughable. 322 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: Again, it's laughable to pretend that Miami of Ohio and 323 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: LSU are playing the same sport. But for some reason, 324 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: in this particular system, we have to pretend that, and 325 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: so therefore we have to pretend, or some people want 326 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: to pretend, like a champion that is produced from one 327 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: conference should have the exact same seat at the table 328 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: and the exact same amounts of seats at the table 329 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: as another conference. In terms of guarantees, they're called autobins. 330 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: I think that's lappable. My format would be to acknowledge 331 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: the obvious and have a separate G five playoff. 332 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 2: You guys, recall a lot of. 333 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: You, not all of you, A lot of you recoil 334 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: at that notion you asked me to meet you in 335 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: the middle. Then I propose that, and you laugh at me, 336 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: so that would be my perfect formula. 337 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 2: We can't get that. 338 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: No one's gone for that for so many reasons that 339 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: I don't have time to get into. And I know 340 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: that that's why I'm not seriously proposing it. But you're 341 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: asking what would be realistic to me? That would be 342 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: more realistic for all next step one player from both 343 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: Georgia and Alabama no one is talking about that could 344 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: be a huge factor in this game. I'll give you 345 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: one for each here since you asked. I think people 346 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: will talk about George Pickens, So I'm not going to 347 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: mention George Pickens. I am going to mention Darnell Washington 348 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: to you. I keep going back to the SEC Championship game, 349 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: and I keep thinking about the two moments that probably 350 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: stood out the most in terms of offensive production. That's one 351 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: of them if you're watching on YouTube, the one we 352 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: just showed Darnell Washington going up over Henry Toatoo in 353 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: the end zone. Cause Darnell Washington's like eight foot three. 354 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: He's an ogre huge. He'd been that way since he 355 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: was in like tenth grade. I am looking at him 356 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: and I'm asking myself, what kind of advantage does Stetson 357 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: Bennett have and what specific kind of advantage can we 358 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: give our passing game. If I'm Georgia, if I'm Tom Mucken, 359 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: if I'm Kirby Smart, I'm looking at Pickens, I'm looking 360 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: at Darnel Washington specifically here, and I'm looking in plus 361 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: territory down in the red zone, and I'm asking, if 362 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: I just throw it up to them, is that a 363 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: fifty to fifty ball, because I don't think it is. 364 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: With the dB situation at Alabama, specifically the corner situation 365 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: at Alabama, the size and physicality of those receivers you 366 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 1: throw it up to them, I don't think that's a 367 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: fifty to fifty situation. I think that's about a seventy 368 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: five to twenty five situation. I try it. I told 369 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: you on the show last week. I tried about half 370 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 1: a dozen times in this game, because to me, I 371 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: can trust those guys enough to where there is minimal 372 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: risk and disproportionate amounts of reward potentially to be had there. 373 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: So listen, that's on the Georgia side. On the Alabama 374 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: side of things, I think we uh, okay, we don't 375 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: have this question later, so I'll answer it now. One 376 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: of you asked about my favorite prop bets. My favorite 377 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: prop of the game coincides with the Alabama player that 378 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's talking about. It's Jalil Billingsley right there, 379 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: number nineteen, Jalil Billingsley with the absence of John Metchi 380 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: and the need with Georgia bringing more pressure and Georgia 381 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: putting all kinds of attention on Jamison Williams, the need 382 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: to have a guy emerge and have a guy step 383 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 1: up in this particular game. It's like a bright red 384 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: sharpie circle around Jalil Billingsley. I think, very very clearly 385 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: back to twenty fifteen when Alabama played Clemson, oj Howard 386 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: had been recruiting his five star tight end YadA, YadA, YadA, 387 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: and he had been good, he had shown flashes, and 388 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: then he just exploded against Clemson, and all of a 389 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: sudden he was a star. I'm not calling for two 390 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: hundred yards receiving for Julil Billingsley, but guys, the prop 391 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: bet there is sixteen and a half right now. Over 392 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 1: under sixteen and a half receiving yards for Julil Billingsley, 393 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: I personally think that's flying over sixteen and a half. 394 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 2: I think he's going to have a few. 395 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 1: Catches, any one of which could take him over the 396 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: total there. So I'm going to take Billingsley for Alabama, 397 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: and I will take Darnell Washington a couple tight ends 398 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 1: actually for Georgia and Alabama respectively. 399 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 2: You know what we need to do. 400 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: What we need to do is acknowledge our partner that 401 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: got us here, our. 402 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 2: Partner being Academy Sports and. 403 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: Outdoors that got us here. I have had all kinds 404 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: of different folks approach me on the very of the 405 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 1: city in which we are in right now asking for 406 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,360 Speaker 1: Academy gift cards. I've handed some Academy gift cards out 407 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: this week. I was doing some live hits with Dennis 408 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: Dodd and Benny Canell and Barrett Sale. Today posted a 409 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: picture and the first question was did you get those 410 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: pants at Academy Sports and Outdoors. I'm not going to 411 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,239 Speaker 1: say no, not gonna say yes, but I'm not going 412 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: to say no. And if I didn't, shame on me 413 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: because I could have. Look. You know that we've gone 414 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: on the Renaissance Tour all year. I have been on 415 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 1: the road sixteen weeks. This makes week sixteen. We have 416 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: been having a blast, so I'm certainly not complaining. I'm 417 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: asking let's extend the season. I mean, I'm Ernie banksing 418 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: you right now, let's do it twice. But the reason 419 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: we've been able to do it, and the reason we 420 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: don't have to worry about whether we can get financing 421 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: or what hotel are we going to be able to 422 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: stay in? Can we get the show on the air. 423 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: Are we going to have to throw in fourteen more 424 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: ad breaks? The reason why this show does not have 425 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: to be cluttered up with all that is because of 426 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors. So not only could you, realistically, 427 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: if you're like me, I think a lot of us 428 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 1: are well, at least from a clothing standpoint, at least 429 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: from a recreational standpoint, you could go in there and 430 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: get everything you need. Not only that they give you 431 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: Academy dot Com. If you don't even want to get out, 432 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: fight the traffic or fight the cold. It was eight 433 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: degrees when we got here the other night, just hit 434 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: up Academy dot Com. Not even Academy Sports out Doors, 435 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: just Academy dot Com. 436 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 2: Guys. They've got everything you need, and they've. 437 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: Also got our back, and so if they've got our 438 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: back and you are one of us, you're a part. 439 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 2: Of this show. 440 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 1: They got your back too, So they've got your back. 441 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: But they can also put clothing and whatnot on your back. 442 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 1: So academy, sports and outdoors for essentially everything you could 443 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: need in life at this point is the model that 444 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: we've been going with. All right, let's roll on here. 445 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 1: From TP is Georgia versus Alabama good or bad for 446 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: college football? Now? I know some of you have different 447 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: takes on this. I know because you have felt the 448 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: need to tell me over and over again this week. Look, 449 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: I am different here, and I'm gonna admit this. I'm 450 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: different on two fronts. I don't particularly care about the 451 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: logos on the helmets. From a purely football standpoint, I 452 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 1: want to see the two best teams in the country. 453 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: I want to see him earn their way there. But 454 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: I want to end up seeing the two best teams 455 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: in the country. Now we've got that. Like, this is 456 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: the same reason I loved that it was Alabama versus 457 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: LSU back in twenty eleven. 458 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 2: A lot of you didn't like that. You have different 459 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 2: reasons than me. 460 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 1: You didn't like it because either it was a rematch, 461 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: or you don't feel like the same teams from the 462 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: same conference or division should be able to make it. 463 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: I have different beliefs on that, So I mean, I 464 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: respect yours, you respect mine, or we respect neithers, blah 465 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 1: blah blah. 466 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 2: But we have a difference of opinion there. 467 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 1: However, you also know, as I told you the other night, 468 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: I have a little bias here because I grew up 469 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: right on the Chattoosoe River, which divides these two states. 470 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,719 Speaker 1: So I could not have grown up more perfectly positioned 471 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: to love this. 472 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,479 Speaker 2: I mean, I love this now. 473 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: If you're from mont Pillier, Vermont, you know, if you're 474 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: from Casper, Wyoming, you may look and may say, I've 475 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: never been to either of these states. These brands don't 476 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: resonate as much out here. I want some West Coast influence, 477 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 1: or I want some Midwest influence. 478 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 2: Well you know how that and I get that. 479 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 1: And if I were running ESPN, for example, I may 480 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: look at this and say, oh, I wish Michigan could 481 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: have got a job done. Man, I wish we could 482 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 1: have got Ohio state in this thing. Yeah, I'd probably 483 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: think that way, but I don't run ESPN. I don't 484 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: run a network. I'm not worried about ratings. I'm not 485 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: worried about market over market scores for this game. I 486 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: don't really care. What I care about is am I 487 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: going to be entertained? Is this going to fulfill my 488 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: expectation level? Am I going to have a good time? 489 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: Is going to be a good product on the field? 490 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: If you're checking those boxes for me, I'm cool. And 491 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: obviously I have to bias here because I grew up 492 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,360 Speaker 1: in the South. Guys, this is a really big deal 493 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: back home. I mean, if you know, if you want 494 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: to live vicariously, live vicariously through someone in Sylvester Georgia 495 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 1: who has grown up just hardcore Georgia fan, you guys 496 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: don't get it. Now. If you're not around that rivalry, 497 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 1: you don't get what this means. I was talking when 498 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: we did our live hit today and I actually said, 499 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: as crazy as this sounds, I don't know what Georgia 500 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: fans would be celebrating at the forefront of their brain 501 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: if they won the game tomorrow. You may say, well, 502 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: they'd be celebrating a national championship. Yeah, they would. Please 503 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: do not overlook how critical like, how Berlin wallish it 504 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 1: would be for them to just beat Alabama, and I 505 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: don't really care where the game is. This is huge, huge, huge, 506 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: and so yes, they'd be celebrating a national championship. I'll 507 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: tell you how it very well could go. What it 508 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: could be is you're celebrating and you're jumping up and down. 509 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: We beat Nick Saban, we beat Alabama, and then all 510 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: of a sudden it dawns on you we just won 511 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: a national championship. In the process. It's a big. 512 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 2: Deal in the South. 513 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: It is, like I said, it's no less than figuratively 514 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: the Berlin wall that is separating Georgia football and so 515 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: many other programs for that matter, but Georgia football from 516 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: getting where they want to go. LSU has won a 517 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: title even as Saban has been in Alabama. Auburn has 518 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: won a title. Even as Saban has been in Alabama, 519 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: Georgia hadn't gotten there. It's wild to think that Saban 520 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: is seven to zero over his last seven against Georgia 521 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: at Alabama. The only time Georgia beat him was seven. 522 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: I was actually at that game. It was the first 523 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: year for Nick Saban. So I cannot overstate you would 524 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: not be able to understand it unless you were there. 525 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: But hey, the Braves won the World Series for him 526 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: just a few short months ago, so I don't really 527 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: even know how to make sense of what that place 528 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 1: would be like if Georgia won a national title just 529 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: a few months after the Braves won one. So it's 530 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: good to me for college football, but I will admit 531 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: that some of us, you and I somewhat sometimes differ 532 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: on what good and bad is Next up from Parker, 533 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: can you explain to the casuals the Saban comments today 534 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: about regulating NIL and how that actually helps the little 535 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: guy programs? Yes, I can, so. I had some preheated 536 00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: debates about this today. Nick Saban today essentially stepped up 537 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: and he said, I think NIL is good because I 538 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: think players need to have the ability to capitalize off 539 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: of their own name and image. 540 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 2: They should be able to make money off that. Then 541 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 2: he said, but. 542 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: It's being used as an actual recruiting tool, And he said, 543 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a good thing, because I 544 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: think it will lead to more imbalance in college football. 545 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:24,959 Speaker 1: I'm going to give some of you time to laugh 546 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: because I know, just like those of you who heard 547 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 1: it in real time today, I know what a lot 548 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: of responses are to that. I knew it was very predictable. 549 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 1: A lot of people were going to say, Oh, really, 550 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: Nick Saban, who's leading the most powerful program in the 551 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: history of this sport, is about to school us on 552 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: how nil a change to the sport is going to 553 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: create imbalance. No, it's already imbalanced. Now that was your 554 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: reaction initially. Now you're right, there is imbalance in this sport. 555 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 1: I think the debate that we often have is does 556 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: that mean the sport's broken or are you just witnessing greatness? 557 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 2: Because it is my opinion, if I. 558 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 1: Did nothing more than remove Nick Saban from college football 559 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, a whole heck of a lot 560 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: more balance would have mysteriously re entered the room. I mean, 561 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be like Cowls all of a sudden on 562 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: equal footing with Clemson. That's not what it would be. 563 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: But you know exactly what I mean about that playoff picture. 564 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: But what Nick Saban's doing again, whether you want to 565 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 1: believe it or not, is he's not making a statement 566 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: so much as he is issuing a warning. Done this 567 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: several times, He's got an established track record at doing it. 568 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,199 Speaker 1: What he's telling you is not there isn't already in 569 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 1: balance in college football. What he really said today, in 570 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 1: much nicer terms, is, if you think it's bad, now, 571 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: trust me, I can make it a whole lot worse. 572 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 2: And they can make. 573 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: It a whole lot worse. If you honestly think that 574 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: the University of Alabama and the handful of other elite 575 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: programs with endless resources in college football, if you think 576 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: once we calibrate this system and everyone gets their bearings 577 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: about them, they are going to be brought down to 578 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: side by something like nil, something where money, at the 579 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 1: end of the day, let's be real, is really driving 580 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: the bus. You're insane. It's just wishful thinking. Just like 581 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,479 Speaker 1: your expanded playoff. I know what you wish it would do. 582 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 1: Now it won't. I'm fully confident in telling you it won't, 583 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: just like I'm fully confident in telling you there is 584 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,360 Speaker 1: no edge that Louisville will get over Alabama because of NIL. 585 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: You can choose to believe it. You'll learn the hard way. 586 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: So his comments today again when he said I'm all 587 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: for NIL, as am I for the record, but it 588 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: was like we talked about the other day, it was 589 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: like the uncle walked in or in this case, the 590 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,439 Speaker 1: nc double A and gave the kids candy canes and 591 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: red bull or said we are going to have nil. 592 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 2: And then they just leave. You can't do that. 593 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: If you want to give the kid apiece candy, make 594 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: it at ten am, okay, and then wear them out, 595 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: let him run around in the backyard. 596 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 2: With the dog for a little while. But NCAA didn't 597 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:52,199 Speaker 2: do that. 598 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: And what Nick Saban is saying is need some guardrails here, 599 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 1: need some safeguards because I don't want to but I 600 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 1: will weaponize this to my advantage, and yes, he will 601 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: weaponize it to his advantage. So I'm I'm kind of 602 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: trying to convince people I know who watch this, please 603 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: heed this, Please take advantage of the grace period you 604 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: have right now before everyone fully gets a hold of 605 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: this thing and all of a sudden nil looks no 606 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: different than recruiting rankings to next up eight. Well us, 607 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 1: it's two part special here. This is about our trip. 608 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: So Dapper Dog wants to no longer wait fans waiting 609 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 1: on Kirby to beat Saban or the weight at Saint 610 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: Elmo's and then Dylan wanted to know rate that Saint 611 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: Elmos shrimp cocktail. So the first answer, I got a 612 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: little story for you here cannot give you my source. 613 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: We did not have a weight at Saint Elmos. I 614 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: had a hookup, we got a reservation. But here's what's funny. 615 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: Certain members of a certain high profile team that is 616 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: in town right now to play in a national championship 617 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: could not get a seat at Saint Elmo's. Apparently they 618 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: won't run on the right circles like we do. So 619 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: calls were made, names and weight were thrown around, and 620 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: they still couldn't get a seat. So I have it 621 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: on good authority a certain superstar quarterback who used to 622 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: play football in this town at a very high level, 623 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: had to make a few calls himself to get certain 624 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: people certain seats at that certain establishment that your boy 625 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: and company had no problem getting to seat at. Know 626 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: the right people is the moral of the story. And 627 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: the second thing you need to know is if you 628 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: are sensitive to any kind of spice, if you don't 629 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: really handle hot things, well just skip the shrimp cocktail. 630 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: It's not the shrip cocktail that gets you. It's the 631 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: horse ratish sauce, the finest horse ratish sauce on the planet. 632 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: They have right down the street here at Saint Elmo's. 633 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: So I got warned multiple times, but I go in 634 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: and I look at it, and I say, there's no 635 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: way like this is going to take me down. And 636 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: so I look at it and I watch a couple 637 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 1: of people eating and they look like they're having a 638 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: hard time, and so I say, you know what, I'm 639 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 1: going for it. We've already come this far if I 640 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: ordered it, We're going this far. We're going to finish 641 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: the drill here. 642 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 2: And so I ate it. 643 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: I've never had it before. A lot of you had 644 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: had it before, and you told me about it. It 645 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: was like you get attacked. It wasn't like, you know, 646 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: let me put a cracker in my mouth, let me 647 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: drink some milk. Wasn't like that at all. You kind 648 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: of lose control of your senses for a second. That's 649 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: the bad news. You look like an idiot and your 650 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: sinuses start releasing. It's really it's a bad look. If 651 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: you're in a burger king, it's a bad look, much 652 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: less a high class stake joint. But then the follow 653 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: up is it goes away after like fifteen seconds it's gone. 654 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 2: And that's really really. 655 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: Where the huborist works its way into the equation, because 656 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: then you think I must have worked my way through it, 657 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: and then you go back for a double dip, and 658 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: then you're even worse off. So I'm not so sure 659 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: that when I go back there, I'm not so sure. 660 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: I won't just overlook the trip cocktail entirely, but I 661 00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: will say this look Saint almost gets a lot of 662 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: run around here, as it should. But I got to 663 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: give a shout out to our friends that we made 664 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: last night over at Prime forty seven. I will I'm 665 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: certainly not downing Saint Elmo's whatsoever.
