1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal. I'm that for me. I'm

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: a man, I'm forty. I've heard so many players say, well,

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: I want to be happy. You want to be happy

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: for Dake Edo State? Is that? Whoo whoo? And no

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: Dan and tie Dan Rubinstein, welcome back to the show,

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: my friend. Congratulations to you, noted Seattle Seahawks fan on

7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: your world championship here over, I guess the last forty

8
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: eight hours, sir, Welcome on back.

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: I didn't know who to root for. Normally, I have

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 2: like a good idea because I have friends who like

11
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: the team, and I do have Seahawks friends, but as

12
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: a forty nine Ers fan, it.

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: Just felt gross to root for the Seahawks.

14
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 2: And then the Patriots feel kind of gross to root

15
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: for for whatever reason. But I have Patriots friends in

16
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: my life, so I was just rooting for a good

17
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: game from some good plays, maybe some good commercials. I

18
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: do disagree with you on the Jurassic Park Comcast commercial.

19
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: That's the Philadelphia proximity and Comcast is just in woven

20
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 2: into your life. I don't know, but there's something weird

21
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:09,559
Speaker 2: about the like digital anti aging stuff that was going

22
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: on there, A little bit like I don't know. It

23
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: felt weird looking at Jeff Goldbloom trying not to look

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 2: like Jeff Goldbloom.

25
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: I don't know.

26
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: It threw me off. Laura Durton looked pretty good, but

27
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 2: otherwise I didn't get to see a ton of the commercials.

28
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: I did note that there's a I guess Ay Once

29
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 2: upon a Time in Hollywood.

30
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: Spin off apparently, so who David Fincher is involved? I

31
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: believe so. Yeah, I saw Okay.

32
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: So that was a big positive for me yesterday learning

33
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: about that, because I really liked that movie. But no,

34
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: super Bowl was fun in the second half. I guess

35
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: you fell asleep. You told me I was.

36
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: I was out cold about midway through the third quarter.

37
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: Not even gonna try and dress it up as anything

38
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: other than what it was. I will say just I

39
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: went down hard in the second half.

40
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: I appreciated the Seahawks more because of that episode we

41
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: did last week week and the backstories the college and

42
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: recruiting backstories of guys who obviously had a huge role,

43
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: and like Kenneth Walker with his like very slow starts

44
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: before finding the lane, like oh yeah, wake Forest, Kenneth Walker,

45
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: Sure slow mesh. That was cool for me to see

46
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: the guys we really enjoyed in college. Obviously we watched

47
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 2: a lot of Sam Darnold and Devin Witherspoon.

48
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: Like those guys.

49
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: That was cool to see those guys thriving on the

50
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: big stage after just not watching the NFL all season.

51
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: Well, wherever it is, you may be thank you for

52
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: stopping on back. That was I guess one of the

53
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: only There will be another one as we get a

54
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: little bit closer to the NFL Draft, but one of

55
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: the only crossover episodes we do with the pro game,

56
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: because we here are focused on the college game, the beauty, yes,

57
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,840

58
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,000

95
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: if you've got any plans with the misses. Not sure

96
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: what you got going on out there. Maybe we can

97
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: get into that later.

98
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: I'm taking my boys and flag across the country on

99
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 2: Valentine's Day. Yeah, we're getting out of town because it's

100
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: cold and see the grandparents and enjoy a little time away.

101
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: But she's hanging back. She's got some work to do.

102
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: What a Romeo you are? Yeah? Me. Valentine's Day is

103
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: this weekend. So, as we typically do, you and I

104
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: have a call the week before we do these episodes

105
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 1: and it goes something like, hey, man, uh, what the

106
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: hell should we talk about? Because it is deep in

107
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: the off season now, people will be coming out of

108
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: their Super Bowl comas and there's just not a whole

109
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: lot going on in and around the world of college football.

110
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: You know, we could talk about North Dakota State and

111
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: there move up at some point, we could talk about

112
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: bowl games. We still have to talk about bowl games.

113
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: We'ven't done any of that, and what we take away

114
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: from some of those results. Yeah, clearly there is still

115
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: some movement going on, be it within the transfer portal,

116
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: just high school recruiting that we will talk to at

117
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: some point soon. But we usually try to put our

118
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: heads together and come up with the concept. And here's

119
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: what we came up with this year, Dan go. Yes. Well,

120
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: first of all, North Dakota State joining the Mountain West

121
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: is not nothing. It's wonderful. Yes, you and I were

122
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: at the Fargo Dome Foreign FCS playoff game. Little did

123
00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: we know at the time it would be a pre

124
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: cursor to this. I am thrilled that the Farrow Them

125
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: and North Dakota State will be part of our weekly

126
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: conversations because that stadium, that program friggin' awesome. That was it. Yeah,

127
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: awesome experience that you and I had when we went

128
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: up there.

129
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 2: Yes, agree, and yeah we'll get you know, there's like

130
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: Trinidad Chambliss legal stuff and Joey Aguilar legal stuff. You know,

131
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 2: we'll see how all that plays out. Before officially reacting

132
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: what are we doing today, We're doing a little bit

133
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: of like in case you missed it, and sort of

134
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 2: tying that into Valentine's Day things. We loved about the season,

135
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,679
Speaker 2: but also like, there's one hundred and thirty some odd teams.

136
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 2: There's a lot you can in the micro that you

137
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 2: can miss, And I think it's a good time, being

138
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 2: that it's early February, still in the shadow of the season,

139
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 2: to take a second and say like, yeah, we love

140
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: these things. And it wasn't Fernando Mendoza winning the Heisman,

141
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 2: it wasn't Miami breaking through and playoff games, it wasn't

142
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 2: your your headline stories, but it was just like, look

143
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: at what this team did, look at the effort that

144
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: this team made. And romance is nothing if not effort.

145
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: Time got it right in the effort you have to

146
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: you gotta put in the work, and you got to

147
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 2: recognize the little things, right. You got to like remember

148
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: some specific details from what happened a few years ago,

149
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: like hey, remember when you said that so and so

150
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: is your favorite you know, blahbay blah, Like oh wow,

151
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: you remembered. That's That's what life is, Ty, That's what

152
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: romance is. So we're going to talk about things we

153
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: love from this season that weren't necessarily headliners, and we

154
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: also source that locally and organically from our patrons so

155
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,119
Speaker 2: that's what we're doing. We're going through some stuff we loved.

156
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: When you were a kid in elementary school? Did you

157
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: have the setup on a round hango?

158
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: Was my answer?

159
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, childhood crushes? Okay, yeah, yeah, Christine Laken, sure,

160
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: of course.

161
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: Did you have the thing in elementary school where everybody

162
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: was Did you have the thing in elementary school where

163
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: you would tape the brown paper to the front of

164
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: your desk and you would walk around putting Valentine's in?

165
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: Of course, of course, Danica mckeller continue, I happen.

166
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: To think of this episode in a similar way like

167
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: college football. As you said, it's vast, one hundred and

168
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: thirty six teams, storylines, a lot of stuff that we

169
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: don't have a chance to talk about here on a

170
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: national college football podcast, Which is why we put this

171
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: question two other ballers to get a sense for which

172
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: which which brow bags they drop in their Valentine's in? Yeah,

173
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: you know what, what did it for you? I agree?

174
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: We got a bunch of great answers here, dozens upon

175
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: dozens that came in. We will get to those. Why

176
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: don't we start with ours? First off? Dan, you call

177
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: me Smoothie. You're Smoothie, your smooth classic classic. Where are

178
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: you at here? What do you? What do you drop

179
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: in your Valentine's cards? In Okay?

180
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: So I was trying to figure out a way to

181
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: vocalize this, to verbalize this, but there was the name

182
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 2: of the show, solid verbal Sure, uh, there was something

183
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 2: and this is not unique to this season, but there

184
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 2: was something about winning despite blank and like Duke winning

185
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 2: the ACC despite a lot of factors, right despite losing

186
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 2: to Yukon, despite losing four or five games. There was

187
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: something about like Miszoo being ranked after losing three of

188
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: five despite quarterback injury, despite scoring like seven to eight,

189
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: nine ten points against the only good teams that they played,

190
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: still ranked right through the what is.

191
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: The word that everybody? The gauntlet?

192
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 2: That is the SEC sc by the way, pre fantasy thing.

193
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 2: The SEC is a gauntlet, pre fantasy thing. Don't use

194
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 2: it up.

195
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: We don't. We only got so many of these left

196
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: at this point. I know.

197
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: Gauntlet. It's an absolute gauntlet that you know. Minnesota finishes

198
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 3: went eight and four despite not having basically any sort

199
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 3: of competent offense to speak of, Like there were a

200
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 3: number of teams wake Forest could not throw the ball

201
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 3: forward and finished nine and four.

202
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: So I kind of like that.

203
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 2: I kind of like sticking together a successful season with

204
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 2: Gum and Chicken wire. Yeah, and I appreciate like it. Also,

205
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: we talk about, like Kurt Signetti erasing new coach excuses,

206
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 2: this kind of these kind of teams erase a lot

207
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: of excuse, like this team couldn't do anything on offense.

208
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 2: E finished ain't four, it was the SEC was the

209
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 2: ACC was the big ten. So I kind of like

210
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 2: that those types of teams figured out ways to finish respectably,

211
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 2: at least in the win loss column.

212
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: Sure you like the mcguiver teams, is what you're saying here,

213
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: the ones that just sort of figured out how to

214
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: make it work.

215
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say I like them. I say I appreciate them. Okay,

216
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 2: I appreciate that, Like, look, it's not going to go

217
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 2: your way, your quarterback's hurt, your defense can't stop the run,

218
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 2: but you're figuring out a way to win thirteen twelve,

219
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 2: and you know what, you got to do what it

220
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: takes sometimes and I appreciate that.

221
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: Okay, I appreciate that.

222
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 2: Steve Angeli might have been college football's most valuable player.

223
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 2: I appreciate that they start out three to one with

224
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: a win, a dominant win, scoring thirty plus on the

225
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 2: road over Clemson, which at the time perhaps was more

226
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: impressive than we could appreciate. Sure, but Steve Angelli does

227
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: not transfer for spring right, no transfers after spring football

228
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 2: from Notre Dame. Turns out he's the better of the

229
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 2: Ty hilden Brandt team backup quarterbacks over Bo Pribula. Steve

230
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 2: Angeli comes in, They're three to one. He gets hurt

231
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 2: in that Clemson game in the second half. I believe

232
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 2: Syracuse goes on to win how many games without Steve Angeli.

233
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: It's a full goose egg without Angelly.

234
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: So I don't know.

235
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: I mean, his values at an all time high right

236
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: now with me. So I dig that before he.

237
00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: Was injured, he had ten touchdowns to two interceptions. He

238
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: had a sixty three percent completion percentage, He had thirteen

239
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: point four yards per completion. And I would say to

240
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: the broader point, I remember doing our preview talking about

241
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: CS and I was not on board. I was on

242
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: board with Angelly. I knew what Angelly brought to the table,

243
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: but I was not on board with Syracuse being like

244
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: a better team than they were a year prior. Now

245
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: they weren't after he got hurt. As he said, put

246
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: up a big old goose egg to finished what three

247
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: and nine?

248
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: They did score more than eighteen points after Angelly got

249
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 2: hurt in a game three eighteen thirteen, sixteen, ten, ten,

250
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 2: seven to twelve.

251
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: It was a big step back on offense and defense.

252
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: It actually got better on special teams, but it was

253
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 1: a big step back across the board. I think we expected,

254
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: I expected that this would not be as good of

255
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: a Syracuse team as it wasn't twenty twenty four. But

256
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: that being said, I gotta be honest with you, after

257
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: watching Syracuse in its first four games this season before

258
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: Angeli went down, I'm thinking to myself, Ah, here's another

259
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: one I was dead wrong about.

260
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're frisky good yukon team. Yeah, and he was good.

261
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 2: He was he was he was.

262
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: Actually very very good. And as he said, they went

263
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: on the road they beat Clemson. We didn't know at

264
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: the time what we were getting ourselves into with Clemson,

265
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: but yeah, sort of fell off a bit of a

266
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: cliff there after Angely got hurt. Hopefully comes back healthy

267
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: and he can provide the same level as Spark in

268
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: twenty six.

269
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 2: I love teams that have a November that maybe they're

270
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 2: not going four on O five and oh four and

271
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 2: one whatever, But I like teams that fight through the

272
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: whistle of the season. And to me an example of

273
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 2: that of an unpretty shout out TolC. An un pretty

274
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: example of that was the Wisconsin Badgers.

275
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 1: Oh, you are the only person I would surmise who

276
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: was sending in anything was conson related.

277
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 2: I'll explain. They beat two ranked Ish teams in Washington

278
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 2: and Illinois. I don't know if both of those teams

279
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 2: finished ranked. You can take a look at the final rankings.

280
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: But they were right in that conversation, right Washington. In Illinois,

281
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: they beat two ranked teams in November in an absolutely soggy,

282
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 2: disgusting affair. In Eugene, they make it a slog against

283
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: a playoff team in Oregon, it wasn't always pretty. I

284
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 2: think they're leading passer in that Washington game was their punter,

285
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 2: who was one of one for twenty four yards.

286
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: In fact, check me on that, Oh, we did actually

287
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: get one. Let me see if I can find this

288
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: hold on right, I'm almost positive, Yeah, you're right, this

289
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: is yeah, we go here. We got one here from Tyler,

290
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: our newsletter writer Tyler. How could I overlook by the

291
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: way he put together a banger of like, I guess,

292
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: just some context that's going to go out in the

293
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: newsletter for people are listening to this on Tuesday, right,

294
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: will hit your inboxes around midday if you're a subscriber.

295
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: But just sort of examining both directions that it could

296
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: go from North Dakota State if they do in fact

297
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: make it official and go up to FBS, which is

298
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: probably going to be official by the time people hear this.

299
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: To the point quote, I love that Wisconsin somehow upset

300
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: Washington with its punter as its leading passer on the

301
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: night one for one for twenty four yards. You cannot

302
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: make this stuff up. Thank you, Tyler. I appreciate that. Sorry,

303
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: I forgot you.

304
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, So it's sort of like Wisconsin in November

305
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 2: winning those games against Washington and Illinois in ugly weather,

306
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: ugly circumstances, zero passing game, Billy Edwards goes down early.

307
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: You're talking about what Hunter Simmons and Danny O'Neil guys

308
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 2: like that. There was something about Wisconsin being and I

309
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: wrote this down an absolute bucket of wrenches to finish

310
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: out the season right that Wisconsin finishes that way, and

311
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: they were almost like, Hey, this person lost their leg

312
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 2: and just ran a triathlon. What's your excuse? Wisconsin loses

313
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 2: six straight, no quarterback, zero offense.

314
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: To speak of.

315
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 2: Obviously, Wisconsin football far less important than a person losing

316
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: their limb, but.

317
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: It's sort of that, like, what's your excuse?

318
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 2: Wisconsin has nothing going on offense, can't stop anybody's quarterback,

319
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 2: and they're beating good teams and turn themselves into an

320
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: absolute what did I say?

321
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: Bucket of wrenches?

322
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 2: And I love seeking that type of team out And

323
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: even though Luke Fickle's job does not seem super safe,

324
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 2: that the Wisconsin DNA of the twenty twenty five team

325
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: had a lot of fight to it and I appreciate

326
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: that time.

327
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: Can I piggyback on that and give you one of

328
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: my own? I don't know, some wrench teams, Yeah, I

329
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: don't know. If it's a bucket of wrenches, you can.

330
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: I always I used to call the like when old

331
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: subway trains, you would hear them coming down the tunnel

332
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 2: a mile and a half away because it did sound

333
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: like a rolling bucket of wrenches and screws. Was like,

334
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: this doesn't sound safe at all, And that was Wisconsin

335
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 2: football this past year.

336
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: It kind of was that's how it feels to be

337
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: a fan. No on that point, and again, it's a

338
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: bucket of wrenches. Probably it implies something that I don't think, okay,

339
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: applies to the Northwestern Wildcats. It kind of does. Continue. Well, Okay,

340
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: Northwestern got to seven wins, but that's only part of

341
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: the story. If you look at Wisconsin or if you

342
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: look at Northwestern season, excuse me, they damn near beat

343
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: Nebraska on the road, Michigan at home, and Illinois on

344
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: the road. I'm not saying it was always pretty, but

345
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: my hunch is that there are a great number of

346
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: people out there listening to this who had no idea

347
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: that Wisconsin was that close to maybe ten wins this year. Yeah,

348
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: and that's you can say that about.

349
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 2: There's always going to be a few teams that were, like,

350
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: there were eight points and fourteen minutes away from being

351
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 2: the national championship, but they finished six and six. Northwesterns

352
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 2: lost to Michigan. Specifically the last second field goal, right, Well,

353
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 2: it's not just a last second field goal. It's winning

354
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 2: the turnover battle five nothing and losing a game, right,

355
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: which is historically inept in terms of a performance that

356
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 2: that sort of disqualifies them on a certain level. You're

357
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 2: like the what could have been seasoned from Northwestern? If

358
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 2: you can't turn a team over five times and not

359
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 2: give up any and you lose, it's impressive in the

360
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 2: like Anchorman, I'm not I'm not even angry. I'm impressed

361
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 2: that it's so rare. But I'm not going to come

362
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: away feeling great about northwesterns here. But yes, I.

363
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: Listen, I'm not feeling great about it either. Yeah, yeah,

364
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: of course, and that's why they made some changes. David

365
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: Brawn had the wherewithal to understand that some things need

366
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: to change, especially now going into new stadium, which, by

367
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: the way, going to debut a Friday night or against

368
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: Penn State, I might have to come through.

369
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 2: Come through, by the way, And so the temp stadium

370
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 2: is going to be up for September again.

371
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: It's back. It's back. Yeah, I saw it over second

372
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: Yeah great, yeah, okay, fair enough, but yeah, there were

373
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: teams like that that didn't lose all of their games

374
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: by three touchdowns that were closer than it appears.

375
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 2: But yeah, I disqualify Northwestern just because and that was

376
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: in Wrigley too.

377
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: I believe I have I have one that I think

378
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 1: you jotted down initially and then you deleted, maybe because

379
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: you saw that I wrote it. Yeah, this is the

380
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: New Mexico Jason Eck thing. We're both at kids here,

381
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: are we not? Of course we are New Mexico hired

382
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: Jason Eck from Idaho. He immediately comes over and wins

383
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: nine games. For context, New Mexico has not won nine

384
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: games since the Bob Davey era back in twenty sixteen,

385
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 1: and before that, the Rocky Long era back in two

386
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: thousand and seven. It is a generational moment, once in

387
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,719
Speaker 1: a decade type thing. The New Mexico Lobos win at

388
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: least nine football games. They did it this year. I

389
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: think there is excitement about Jason Eck bigger picture in

390
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: terms of where else he could coach. Unfortunately that's the

391
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: world that we're in here with college football. But for

392
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: the time being, to step in and immediately have that

393
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: kind of impact. I know people in our little universe here,

394
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: as you say, sourced locally and organically within the forballer

395
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: hood I know people are very much in tune with this,

396
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: but I don't know if the context is something that

397
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: a lot of people out there understood. This is historically

398
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: not a very good football team. The fact that he

399
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 1: stepped in this quickly and had these kinds of results

400
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: pre damn.

401
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 2: Cool agree led by defense. I mean, the passing game

402
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 2: was good, Keegan Johnson. I want to say the Iowa

403
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 2: transfer was very good for New Mexico, but yeah, they

404
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 2: had a bunch of like super disruptive guys in that

405
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 2: front seven. It was Keishawn James Nuby who was the

406
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 2: big one. Twenty four havoc plays for this defense, seventeen

407
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 2: and a half tackles for yep, nine sacks. So yeah,

408
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 2: they were absolutely abusive up front. They had the bad

409
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 2: loss to San Jose State early, which is look, it's

410
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 2: his first year, it's a new team.

411
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: Whatever.

412
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 2: They finished the season winning sixth straight, and Bill Connolly

413
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 2: personally decides to leave them out of the Mountain West

414
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 2: Championship game, which is such a shame.

415
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: Tie what an evil man.

416
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: A tough place to win, a tough place to win.

417
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 2: I have stuff about my own team, just very specific

418
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 2: stuff in case you missed the type stuff. Brandon Finnie

419
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 2: was a revelation at starting corner as a true freshman

420
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 2: from across the country. Was absolutely terrific for most of

421
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 2: the year. Had some tough moments against Indiana.

422
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: I think it was.

423
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 2: Charlie Becker who had that long touchdown in the playoff

424
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 2: on Finny, but otherwise had a bunch of BS penalties

425
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 2: tie called against him in that USC game.

426
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: If you were all the penalties are always bs when

427
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: it's your team.

428
00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, no prisoner ever did it. And then Nazir Wyatt

429
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 2: off the edge an absolute terror of a true freshman.

430
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 2: So the Oregon true freshman on the other side, the

431
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 2: running back Stier Hill and Jordan Davison, but that they

432
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 2: were super fun to watch as true freshmen. That they

433
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 2: played so many impact dudes in different roles. That was

434
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 2: very cool from an Oregon level. Do you have a

435
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 2: Notre Dame or Penn State, Well.

436
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: Listen, it's not undercovered and it's definitely not one of

437
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: the things that people missed. But I just wanted to

438
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: take a quick, a tight fifteen seconds, oh okay, to

439
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: celebrate the wonder that was the Penn State leaked Pat

440
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: Kraft audio. Okay, I love that.

441
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 2: Do you love that it leaked or did you love

442
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 2: that you got a viewpoint that was unfettered, unprred, unfiltered.

443
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 2: Even though it feels kind of skeazy that it leaked,

444
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 2: it was instructive as to who pack Craft is intellectually.

445
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: I don't love the fact that it leaked, right, I

446
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: think that signal maybe that there was some animosity, let's say,

447
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: amongst the people that were in that room. But the

448
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: fact that we got to hear it, I mean vulgarities

449
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: aside the fact that we got a little bit of

450
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: a portal into Pat Craft and his thinking and to

451
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: the mindset at Penn State, and even to some of

452
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: what troubled him and troubled them with the way that

453
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: the program was operated under James Franklin. You just don't

454
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 1: You don't get that. You don't get that type of

455
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: glimpse into what's going on behind closed doors. Ever. Yeah,

456
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: every now, you know, like the athletics gonna write their

457
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: post mortem. They already did write the post mortem on

458
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 1: like the James Franklin era, and I know others have

459
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: as well. But a lot of that stuff is through

460
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: anonymous sources. You only get part of the conversation. You

461
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: don't always get the full context. They do as good

462
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: of a job as they can to try and paint

463
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: that portrait, but you're never going to get it straight

464
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: from the horse's mouth like that. And so that to

465
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 1: me was just super instructive for what was going on

466
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: behind the scenes at Penn State, why they made the

467
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 1: move when they made it. And you know, people have

468
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: all sorts of opinions about Packcraft. I include myself in

469
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: that because I'm not necessarily somebody who's had the highest

470
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: opinion of him based on what I had been told before.

471
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: But that leaked audio was just such a glimpse into

472
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 1: what was actually going on that it's hard for me

473
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 1: to not mention it here.

474
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 2: I I mean, if my word for the day is appreciate,

475
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 2: I appreciate that this sort of cemented and confirmed the

476
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 2: fact that we're all just message board genius screenshots. That's

477
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 2: all it is, man, We're at heart, yeah, the people

478
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 2: in power, all of us talking about the sport, all

479
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: of us who are fans of the sport. We're all

480
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 2: just waiting for our turn to be captured by message

481
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 2: board geniuses and pat Craft. What is the sound drop

482
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 2: that you have another bombshell enters.

483
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: The brun bombshell.

484
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 2: Love Island great, so, Patkraft, welcome to your messageboard geniuses moments.

485
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: We are all there with you, all right, some quick

486
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: ones here. I know you got a couple other ones.

487
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: Let's get through these as quick as we can because

488
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: we want to get to the ones that came from

489
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: the Verbeller hood. I have Pit making things interesting with

490
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: Mason Heinschel. Making things interesting, I think is the best

491
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: way to put it. Pitt fell short of my preseason expectations.

492
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: I obviously had a rooting interest there because I was

493
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: one of a handful of people that was really high

494
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 1: in the pit Panthers. For a second, I thought they

495
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: might have a chance to do it. It obviously did

496
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 1: not work out. But Mason Heinschel making that move from

497
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: Mason Heinschel away from Eli Holstein, who has since transferred,

498
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: that ended up being a revelation for this pit team.

499
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: They were much better with him than they were without.

500
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: So that deserves one of my valentines in the brown

501
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 1: paper bag. I've got Houston finishing a quiet ten and three. Okay,

502
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: I'm excited about the Lily fritzerra at Houston. I really

503
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: am and five star quarterback coming in, five star quarterback

504
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: coming in for sure. This is a program that has

505
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: been organized very quickly under Willie Fritz. Now this is

506
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: not to say that twenty twenty six is necessarily going

507
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: to be better across the board. Why not. We'll get

508
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: to that when we do previously, I've already started doing

509
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: some previous stuff. Okay, But for them to just find

510
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: a way to go ten and three this year, the

511
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: quietest ten game season that is going to go well

512
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: under the radar for most college football fans. Houston finishing

513
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: ten and three again is a testament to hiring Willie Fritz,

514
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: getting their house in order quickly, knowing how to use

515
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: the transfer portal. A lot of the unsexy stuff that

516
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: is not going to get reported nationally went on at Houston.

517
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: We were right, I think we both did. We called

518
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: it out and we did previews for the twenty five

519
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: season how Houston was sort of organizing itself and getting ready,

520
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: and you know, they bring over Connor Wigman and they're like,

521
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,479
Speaker 1: they're just building. You can get the sense that they

522
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 1: are building from how they are going about their business.

523
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: And my hunch is that a lot of people did

524
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: miss that, which is why I'm calling it out now. Yeah,

525
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: the only other thing here that I'm going to mention

526
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: that I'll kick it over to you staying in the

527
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: great state of Texas. Look, this is much talked about.

528
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: It's going to be one of those subjects we continue

529
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 1: to talk about. Arch Manning actually got better. He did,

530
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: He actually got after he got his bell rung. He

531
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: actually got better. And I bring this up if only

532
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,959
Speaker 1: to remind people that we are currently living through a

533
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: hellscape of social media grave dancing. And by that I

534
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: mean it seems a little bit more popular to do

535
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: the grave dancing thing than to celebrate somebody actually getting better.

536
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: And I know that arch Manning is at this point

537
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: way way over exposed. Everyone knows about arch Manning. Clearly.

538
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: Arch Manning comes in with much acclaim. He wasn't great

539
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: at the start of the year. It took a little

540
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: bit to settle in. I think the people who are

541
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: out there prematurely doing some grave dancing on arch Manning

542
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: are going to be looked back upon in a very

543
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: foolish sense because he got better. Oh he got better.

544
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: And I'm not necessarily excluding myself from this criticism because

545
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 1: I was there too. Yeah, he got better. He looked

546
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: really good by the end of the year. If you're

547
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: a Texas fan, be very excited about next year because

548
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: I think he took a real step forward second half

549
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: of the year, and with what they've got coming in

550
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: and what they have returning, Texas is again going to

551
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 1: be one of those teams that's contender. So arch Manning

552
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: actually gets better deserves a little bit of attention here

553
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: if we're talking about that, it's all relative.

554
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 2: A very gutty performance against Texas A and M, especially

555
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 2: in that second half with his legs, the plays he

556
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 2: made nearly completed fifty percent of his passes right against

557
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 2: Texas A and M. Is that true? That's you can

558
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 2: fact check me on that. Ye got to double digits

559
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 2: against Georgia. The hater said he couldn't do it. They

560
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 2: got to ten, they lost by twenty five. No, he

561
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 2: got better. Obviously, it was a rocky first half of

562
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 2: the season. And we'll see what Texas looks like next

563
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 2: season with some changes on offense, a lot of new

564
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 2: faces on defense, or a lot of full time starting

565
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 2: new faces on defense. But if your starting point is

566
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 2: where Texas's starting point appears to be.

567
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: They'll be interesting for sure. What else do you got

568
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: hit your lists? And then I want to go around

569
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: the for bowler hood.

570
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 2: Okay, I have Arizona's nasty defense. You kind of made

571
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 2: mention to a couple of Big twelve situations that Houston

572
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 2: game was super fun. Their safeties were ridiculous. It was

573
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 2: Dalton Johnson and Genesis Smith. I'll stay in the region ish,

574
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 2: but in the acc SMU lost a ton playoff team

575
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, lost a ton rocky start

576
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 2: to the season, loses a shootout to Baylor, beats eventual

577
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: incredible team Miami amidst a number of turnovers and finish

578
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 2: the season with a great run defense and maybe the

579
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 2: best red zone defense in America. Testament to the new

580
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 2: guys developing for SMU. There's something else by the way

581
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 2: off season I've grown to love. And it's just because

582
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 2: of the absurdity of it all. And this isn't like

583
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 2: a like a hidden positive thing. It's just sort of

584
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 2: a hidden or not so hidden ridiculous thing. I love

585
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 2: a good double transfer. I love a good Hollywood. Smothers

586
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 2: at Alabama for an hour and a half before transferring

587
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 2: to Texas from NC State. I believe there is something

588
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 2: very fun about that double arrow on the I don't

589
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 2: know if it's two four seven or on three the

590
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,479
Speaker 2: double arrow graphic. Whereas like, yes, they were at NC

591
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 2: State and they have since transferred to both Alabama and Texas.

592
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: They had to figure out I'd imagine what to do

593
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: in those types of situations, because they're not uncommon anymore.

594
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: I mean, notably, we saw Kenny Minshey this time Nebraska

595
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: screwed over Nebraska going there first before jumping ship and

596
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: going over to Kentucky. And that there are a lot

597
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: of guys that fall into this camp way more than

598
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: there used to be for sure.

599
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all absurd and ridiculous. Dylan Gabriel with his

600
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 2: time at UCLA, I think he was on campus like

601
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 2: about to go to his first class or something when

602
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 2: Oklahoma called. It was something crazy like that. Obviously, we

603
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,719
Speaker 2: had the situation with Clemson and tampering from Ole Miss

604
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 2: reported tampering from ole Miss with the cow linebacker. It's

605
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 2: just absurd. And then you get your TJ. Finleys that

606
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,719
Speaker 2: have seven schools on the graphic, and so it's not healthy,

607
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 2: it's not great for the sport, but I do appreciate

608
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 2: like the limited era of again the you know, Kenny

609
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 2: minsheat Nebraska wonderful, It's ridiculous. I think those are my things. Okay,

610
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 2: love from this year there. You know, we can sit

611
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 2: here for four hours and talk about the things we loved,

612
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 2: but we got really good answers from our patrons.

613
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: Mark and I'll include n YU Baseball nerd in here

614
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: because they're both talking about Arizona State. But I'm going

615
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: to read Mark's comment, I love that Arizona State kept

616
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: Kenny Dillingham as our coach for another year in the

617
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: face of some hot and heavy pursuit from sexier, flashier programs.

618
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: He may still leave us for someone else eventually, but

619
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: we're going to enjoy being a seven point five with

620
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: a ten on our arm for as long as it lasts.

621
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 2: Dan, Okay, Yes, college football is better when a situation

622
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 2: like Kenny Dillingham exists where he goes to ASU, he's

623
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 2: from the area, and receives overtures to go elsewhere and

624
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 2: decides ultimately to stay at ASU. He is staying at ASU,

625
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 2: not because he sat down.

626
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: And said I love this place too much to leave.

627
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 2: He may love this place, Yes, but he also got

628
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 2: more money for assistance and more money for nil stuff.

629
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 2: And like, the reason a situation like Kenny Dillingham would implode,

630
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 2: even if he loves ASU, would be because he doesn't

631
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 2: feel like he's getting the support and he doesn't feel

632
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 2: like he's necessarily vibing with his bosses. So Kenny Dillingham

633
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 2: might not necessarily stay at ASU forever. But that's generally

634
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 2: what it would take if you have somebody who loves

635
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 2: the place. But if he feels taken for granted, then yes,

636
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,479
Speaker 2: they go to Michigan, they go to Ohio State, they

637
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 2: go to Florida or LSU or something like that. So

638
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 2: good for ASU, good for Kenny Dillingham. Hope it works

639
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 2: out moving forward. But you know, there is something that's

640
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 2: more pragmatic than romantic about this. As much as this

641
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 2: is an episode about romance.

642
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: I'm not going to act like I'm any kind of

643
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: ASU fan. I'm not right, I like it. I'm nothing

644
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: against ASU. Yeah, fun program. I am more of a

645
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: Kenny Dillingham fan. Okay, Because more to the earlier theme

646
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: about getting a glimpse behind closed doors, Kenny Dillingham is

647
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:02,719
Speaker 1: always himself. He is always is a live wire in hindsight,

648
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: thinking back to him coaching Cam Scataboo, just think about

649
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: that pairing for a second. The emotional intensity between those

650
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: two guys being on the same sidelines is pretty wild.

651
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: I love the fact that we get press conferences with

652
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: Kenny Dillingham where we always get a great, the unvarnished

653
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 1: truth directly from his mouth, and I hope that never

654
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: goes away. Sometimes he coaches to start out like that

655
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: and then over the course of time, you know, as

656
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: the edge wears off a little bit, they start becoming

657
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: a little bit more political, a little bit more corporate

658
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: in their speak. I hope Kenny Dillingham never changes because

659
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: he is truly one of the gems of the sport.

660
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: And if you get to keep him at ASU for

661
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: one season or twenty one seasons, doesn't matter. I would

662
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: be thrilled about that too.

663
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 2: He's like eighty three percent edge to be clear, Oh yeah,

664
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 2: there is. He also kind of, in perpetuity look like

665
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 2: an aggressive nineteen year old. I don't know what, Like,

666
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 2: at any moment, he's going to look like a kid

667
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,760
Speaker 2: outside of the Sigma Kai house yelling at other people

668
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 2: lined up like who do you know here? Who do

669
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 2: you know here? He's got that energy, which it works

670
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 2: in college. Zach rides in about Arkansas as an Arkansas fan,

671
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 2: I love that we tried. Yeah the phrasing.

672
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: The Simpsons cake. At least you tried. Yeah. I love

673
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: that we tried. Excluding the Notre Dame game in a

674
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: late touchdown by Texas, all of the games were single

675
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: digit losses. It was heartbreaking. It sucked, but sometimes the

676
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: thing you love breaks your heart. You just can't give

677
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: up on love, just like the Razorbacks never gave up

678
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: on trying to win games. There we go, Thank you, Zach.

679
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 1: We also had another Arkansas related comment from Michael, who

680
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: says that he loves that Arkansas was essentially at a

681
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: net even point differential on the season despite being two

682
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: and ten. My mantra as a Razorback fan is that

683
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: if they are going to stink, at least be entertaining.

684
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: And we got that, Thank you, Michael.

685
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 2: Yes, indeed they Okay, they were the number one rushing

686
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 2: success rate team in America. Nobody ran more efficiently than

687
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 2: arkansaw over the aggregate, and that's against what kind of

688
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 2: schedule tie a gauntlet?

689
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: Gauntlet got I have to write this. I'll write it

690
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: down somewhere soon. I forget that.

691
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 2: So Arkansas was able to build the most successful rushing

692
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 2: offense statistically against the gauntlet, very good passing team that

693
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 2: just defense was a disaster. Defense was a nightmare. But

694
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 2: they played in a ton of entertaining games. They took

695
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 2: what Ole miss to the brink, A and M to

696
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 2: the brink, Mississippi State to the brink, Memphis to the brink.

697
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 2: Quality teams all the same, LSU to the brink. I

698
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 2: mean they got blown out by Texas and MISSOO wasn't close.

699
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 2: But you know, if your team offers you some entertainment

700
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 2: and has a good enough a strong enough offense to

701
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 2: keep you in every game or most games, it's hopefully

702
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 2: a building block to a.

703
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: New era, new coach.

704
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 2: Obviously, this is a full overhaul of Arkansas football what's

705
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 2: happening right now, But at least within the roster that's

706
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 2: going to be back, you know that there's fight there.

707
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: Let's go to Audi eight four seven. You ever have

708
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: an Audi? What's your opinion on Audi's any belly buttoner car.

709
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the car, not the not Audi. I'm

710
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: talking like out au D I you're a very personable talker. Ty.

711
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,439
Speaker 1: I've never owned an Audi. No, they seem like quality cars.

712
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I heard they. I heard they got

713
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: maintenance issues.

714
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 2: Not a sponsor still could not A sponsor might be

715
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 2: eliminated as one.

716
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: We can change what we say. That's true if they

717
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: want to supply us with cars. Anyway. As an Indiana

718
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 1: fan and alum, there is so much love over the

719
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: last two years. It all starts with Adi Scott Dolson,

720
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: who the belief to hire coach Signetti than it's coach Signetti.

721
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: It's not just the winning, but it's how he's done it.

722
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: When he says it starts with people, he means it.

723
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: He shows that trust and respect with having short focused

724
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: practices by encouraging everyone to figure out how to work smarter,

725
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: not harder. Every time he speaks, it's a class on

726
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: leadership and management. I love how he's taken us from

727
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: the homecoming game to the hunted There we go, Audie, Okay,

728
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 1: we got some other people chiming in about Indiana. Fell

729
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: in love with this, Bijas fell in love with the

730
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: guys on our team. All the backstories and personality they

731
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: showed me can week out. It will be hard to

732
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: top the character from Indiana's twenty twenty five team, And

733
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 1: Caleb says, can it be as simple as I love

734
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 1: that Iowa gave Indiana the best run for their money

735
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: all season. I've been hanging my hat on that for

736
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: a few weeks as a Hawk guy. So some Indiana

737
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,280
Speaker 1: love some tangential Indiana slash.

738
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, Penn State needed a miracle to

739
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 2: lose that game.

740
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: I might give the edge to Penn State there.

741
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 2: Well, nobody wrote it in about Penn State, but I know,

742
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm debating the Iowa gave them the best

743
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 2: run for their money when you know Oregon was tied

744
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, Penn State Omar Hooper needed to

745
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 2: do what he did to beat Penn State.

746
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: Continue. No, that's all I have. This. These are what

747
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: people These are the things that people send in about Indiana.

748
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: Do it? Obviously the Indiana just genum here, genus, gena,

749
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: what is it, philum species whatever? The umbrella term for

750
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: Indiana and all things underneath it. Yeah, is well treed territory.

751
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: At this point, We've talked a lot about this. Is

752
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: there anything to add further to these comments that we

00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:37,000

766
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 2: Would you recommend Indiana fans to protect their hearts regarding

767
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 2: Kurt Signetti in this program?

768

770
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: here's how I am advising all of my Indiana clients

771
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: at this point. Yeah, it has been an incredible to

772
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: year run. It does not look as if it is

773
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: going to go sideways anytime soon, because it seems like

774
00:40:54,200 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 1: each portal cycle things are ramping up. Okay, how it

775
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: has gotten to the point very quickly, to the point

776
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: where there's something of a critical mass going on, or

777
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: guys just want to go there, right Josh Hoover wanted

778
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: to go there out of high school. He's going there

779
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 1: now is a transfer. Nick Mark Notre Dame wanted Nick

780
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: Marsh like crazy. Nick Marsh took one visit, went to

781
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 1: Indiana and that was that. So it's it's clear that

782
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: guys want to go there now. So that insulates you

783
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: a little bit. But I got to caution people, it's

784
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: still real new here and this is an extremely volatile

785
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 1: time to be a college football fan with how things

786
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: quick can change with the portal and nil and you

787
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: know it. Indiana is one example, but there could just

788
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 1: as easily be other example. Texas Tech. They're spending Did

789
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: I see that mister Beast is going to give a

790
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: ton of money to Eastern Carolina? To East Carolina e CEU?

791
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: Is that true? Supposedly there are conversations that he's going

792
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: to give an obscene amount of money to ECU to

793
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: try and get them to win a national championship. So

794
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, things pop up quicker now than

795
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: ever before. And though I don't think Signetti is suddenly

796
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,919
Speaker 1: going to fall off a cliff, I would say give

797
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: it a little bit, give it a little give yourself

798
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: like the five year grace period that we see with

799
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 1: other sports. You win a championship, then you have like

800
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: a five year halo around the program where if things

801
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 1: don't quite get up to the same level, you're cool

802
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 1: with it just because you had the championship and you

803
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 1: can still sort of coast off of that joy for

804
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: a little bit. Give Signetti, give Indiana a little bit

805
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 1: of wiggle room here before you fully dive into this

806
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: idea this I don't know, just assumption that it's going

807
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: to be like this every year. So protect your heart

808
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: a little is what I am saying.

809
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 2: I could not disagree more. Oh wow, Okay, if you

810
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 2: give your everything, if you are saying to yourself, I

811
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 2: love Indiana football.

812
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:57,879
Speaker 1: I love what Indiana football has been.

813
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 2: I love what we could be moving forward, hitting the

814
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 2: portal we have Kurt Signetti or you know, retaining these coaches,

815
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 2: bringing back Tino Sunsei. Like that, there's a magnetism, a

816
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,760
Speaker 2: newfound magnetism to Indiana football.

817
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: And I am all in.

818
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 2: I am bringing my love, my passion, my everything to

819
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 2: support you know the upside of Indiana football. And let's

820
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,760
Speaker 2: say Kurt Signetti lets you down. Let's say this roster

821
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 2: lets you down. Let's say something catastrophic happens. Let's say

822
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 2: Kurt Signetti is the next coach of the whatever LA

823
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 2: Rams or something in two years. And what's the worst

824
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 2: that could happen to Indiana football that they haven't already felt?

825
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 2: Indiana fans were born in this. This is the Baine quote, right.

826
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 2: The worst that can happen, thank you, Ty. The worst

827
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,479
Speaker 2: that can happen to Indiana football is if this all

828
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 2: collapses into a heap of nothingness and dust. Nobody knows

829
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 2: that world already better than Indiana fans. You can't hurt them.

830
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 2: So you have to love while you have the ability

831
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 2: to love. Tie, you have to love while your heart's beaten.

832
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't.

833
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 2: I wouldn't protect your heart at all, Tie, I would.

834
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 2: I would push the chips in, I would make your

835
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:16,439
Speaker 2: your big romantic overtures and just you're ready to get hurt,

836
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 2: but you're not pulling back.

837
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,439
Speaker 1: Tie, That's what I'm saying. We did get another one

838
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 1: here from Ween who says that, yeah, I love Fernando.

839
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: I love that Fernana Mendoza dropped an F bomb on

840
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:30,240
Speaker 1: live TV, even though I'd bet it was scripted of course. Yeah, yeah,

841
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 1: all right, let's go kind of Indiana and Fernana Mendoza adjacent.

842
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 2: Mendoza as an industry plant is a theory that I'm

843
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 2: I'm interested in industry plant. Yeah, that like he was somehow

844
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 2: grown and developed into this very specific role by the

845
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 2: powers that be, and this all didn't happen organically. That's

846
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 2: like what people will say, like when a when a

847
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 2: band blows up out of nowhere, they're like, oh, no,

848
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 2: this was all They were never a real band that

849
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 2: toured and paid their dues. They were just assembled by

850
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 2: a factory behind the record labels to be this famous thing.

851
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 2: They were not an organically grown thing.

852
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: So how would you do that with a football player?

853
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:17,879
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I have just supping around time.

854
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: I mean because they tried that.

855
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:25,760
Speaker 2: No that there's just something so like weirdly calculated about

856
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 2: how Fernando Mendoza speaks that you're just like it was a.

857
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: Little bit too robotic. I don't know, all right, continue

858
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: Mike super for ball or Mike, we appreciate you, Mike,

859
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: thank you for writing in. He says as a Calfan,

860
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 1: I loved watching Fernanda Mendoz a ball out. I love

861
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: seeing the Bears get a big upset over a ranked

862
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: team and then finally free themselves from a decade of

863
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: Wilcox's mediocrity. So he's speaking to a couple things here. Yeah,

864
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: he is speaking to a having that love for Fernando

865
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: Mendoz even though he's on a different team. He is

866
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: speaking to Jaron Kaave Songapoola, tell a my boy stepping

867
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: in and getting some results for the cal Golden Bears. Yea.

868
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: And then he is speaking to obviously the coaching change

869
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: with TASHILLPOI coming down from Oregon after they rid themselves,

870
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 1: as he said here of Justin Wilcox mediocrity.

871
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 2: By the way, quite the cocktail at the end of

872
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 2: the season to lose to a bad Stanford team in

873
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 2: their rivalry game and then watch a dude who left

874
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 2: your school interesting story for another day, who left your

875
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 2: school and went on to win the Heisman. That reflects

876
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,879
Speaker 2: not super well on your program, be like, I'm sorry,

877
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 2: you had a Heisman caliber quarterback and couldn't surround him

878
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 2: with receivers, in an offensive line or a defense to

879
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 2: play complimentary football. A Heisman caliber okay, and he was

880
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 2: good at Cal, but yeah, that's sort of salt in

881
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:54,439
Speaker 2: the wound.

882
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: At the end of the Wilcox era, Bob rides in.

883
00:46:57,719 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: I loved all the predictable drama with Lane, Kiffin and

884
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 1: LSU from the politicians saying they would not pay Brian

885
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: Kelly's buyout, which they did, and then saying they would

886
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: never accept as one sided a coaching contract. Again, to

887
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 1: Lane's drama at ole miss wanting to stay through the playoffs,

888
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: his clothes being put out at the curb, his dog

889
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 1: not really being his dog. That's the one here, Bob.

890
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: The dog things, the Marty Smith hostage situation, and then

891
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 1: the awkward Stockholm syndrome hug on the tarmac when Laane

892
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 1: may or may not have needed a police escort to escape,

893
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: and on and on. Just a perfect encapsulation of the

894
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:39,839
Speaker 1: craziness of college football that dwarfs any story Hollywood could

895
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: possibly make up. Bob. I like you, Bob put a

896
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: perfect point on that. I love it.

897
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 2: I would echo what I have to say about Indiana

898
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 2: football and Kurt Signetti about Lane Kiffin. If you're an

899
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 2: LSU fan, love with all your heart, you know how

900
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 2: it's going to end, right, so at least you know

901
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 2: that Indiana fans don't know how it's gonna end with

902
00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 2: Kurt Signetti. Maybe it ends with him winning three National

903
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,720
Speaker 2: Champian ships, retiring and being a forever hero to Indiana football.

904
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,479
Speaker 2: That's the best possible case. You know how it's gonna

905
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 2: end with Lane Kiffin an LSU. But while he's there

906
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 2: and while they eaton's good, you gotta love it because

907
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 2: Indiana is I mean, just like LSU, and not to

908
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 2: the same degree. LSU fans have been wandering the desert

909
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 2: for a minute. They'll have a great offense with Jayden

910
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 2: Daniels and a terrible defense for a couple of years.

911
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 2: And LSU fans already got the highest of the highs

912
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,839
Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen, so they're in like a gravy moment

913
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 2: as well. Lane Kiffin won't build a team like that, probably,

914
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 2: but while the getting's good, keep going back to the

915
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 2: buffet ty.

916
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 1: Well you have a I guess Lane Kiffin related point

917
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 1: here from Gary, who's a Florida fan. Okay, I love

918
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: that we finally moved on a head coach. I love

919
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: that we've stayed out of the Lane Kiffin TV show.

920
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: That's a little generous to say they stayed out of

921
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 1: the TV chef. They were part of the TV show,

922
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 1: Gary for a little bit. Not to the same extent

923
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:00,320
Speaker 1: they had the wherewithal to pull their name out A said, actually,

924
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: but for a moment they were part of like the

925
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: opening credits, mm hmm. I love that Jaden Ball was

926
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: again incredible and decided to come back. I love that

927
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: Georgia and Miami couldn't get it done in the playoffs

928
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 1: and Florida State continue to be a disaster saddled with

929
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: the lame duck coach Gary, as he said, is a

930
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: Florida fan, Dan, Thank you Gary. What else do we

931
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: got here? Uh, We've got this one from Jeff on

932
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: the Georgia front. I love that Georgia let all four

933
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: of our biggest rivals believe they were going to end

934
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: their losing streaks against us before we ripped their hearts out.

935
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 1: Oh Jeff, I love this intensity, my man, Thank you,

936
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 1: thank you. Thomas also writes in and says he loves

937
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:46,240
Speaker 1: Gunner Stockton's moxie and ability to step up in crunch

938
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: time this season to throw the throw to London Humphries

939
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: against Texas on fourth down run against Auburn and again

940
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: against Florida. Yeah, it's hard not to like what Gunner

941
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:00,879
Speaker 1: Stockton brings to the game of college football right now.

942
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: I know against I know Jordia fans would like to

943
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: have gone a little bit further this year. But man,

944
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: Gunner Stockton's got the moxie. I love against what kind

945
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 1: of schedule A gauntlet? Ye gauntlet continue to go to

946
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 1: on Capistan. I hope I said that right. Yeah, long

947
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 1: timer in the comments loved I'm gonna paraphrase this because

948
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 1: it was very long comment, which we appreciate. He says

949
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 1: he loves North Texas's record setting season, the walk On

950
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 1: Hawkins becoming the best scoring running back in program history,

951
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:41,800
Speaker 1: Drew mesta Maker breaking freshman passing records, the defense is

952
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,399
Speaker 1: big jump, and winning a bowl game for the first

953
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: time in eleven years. Did not like the blowout loss

954
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: to USF in primetime. Did not like getting robbed in

955
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 1: the American Conference Championship game against Tulane, and half of

956
00:50:55,440 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 1: the team leaving for greener pastures. But I tend to

957
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: agree there's a lot to like about North Town well.

958
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 2: But also it reflects well on the program generally speaking,

959
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,360
Speaker 2: if they hire the right coach and DVD currently, but

960
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 2: if they hire the right coach, that Denton is a

961
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 2: place to attract and develop winning talent, and that's an

962
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 2: important first step in building out a winning program. That

963
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 2: you're like, here's the proof of concept. It can happen

964
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 2: at North Texas. It doesn't always happen at North Texas,

965
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 2: but obviously Eric Morris was that guy grew every year

966
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 2: with that team, and so we'll see moving forward. But yeah,

967
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:37,879
Speaker 2: an electric season for the Mean Green.

968
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,959
Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to some players that were called out.

969
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:47,360
Speaker 1: Adam calls out Jeremiah Love Davis says that Ahmad Hardy

970
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 1: breaking through Wimpy would be tacklers effortlessly. Every time I

971
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,359
Speaker 1: saw that and heard the announcer's marvel out of skill,

972
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 1: I was overjoyed that he plays for mzoo and not

973
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 1: against them. Cody writes in to say that he loves

974
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 1: that out of Texas Tech's oil money bought team and

975
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,959
Speaker 1: number one transfer class, it was a random three star

976
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: quarterback converted to linebacker walk on Virginia transfer from a

977
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: couple of seasons prior. That was the star of our

978
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 1: defense and swept the postseason awards minus the Heisman. He's

979
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:18,839
Speaker 1: talking about jay Rod Jacob Rodriguez. Now, I did see

980
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: David Bailey might be a top five pick, so that

981
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 1: did have an impact.

982
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 2: But jay Rod was like the heart and soul of

983
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 2: that defense. He was the heart and soul of that defense.

984
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 2: He was excellent that you cannot It's unimpeachable.

985
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: His excellence.

986
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:35,839
Speaker 2: Also comma, it's easier to play linebacker when you've got

987
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 2: a bunch of killer defensive linemen in front of you,

988
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 2: right clogging lanes making room for you.

989
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 1: Two things can be true.

990
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,759
Speaker 2: It's really good that Texas Tech spent on that defensive

991
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 2: line because they were worth every penny and came through

992
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 2: and it made you know, Ben Robertson, Jacob Rodriguez, that

993
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 2: whole defense is life a lot easier.

994
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I would also add having shield Wood, the

995
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:02,399
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator FORRRIS, who cys them, is geared a lot

996
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: around finding guys along the defensive line that could open

997
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 1: up space. So the linebackers can make play. Jay Rod

998
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 1: was always good. This is not a new thing, but

999
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: I think the system really benefited him this past year,

1000
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 1: and obviously benefit of Texas Tech. They're really good on defense.

1001
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: Tim says he loves that Jade Mayava took a big

1002
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: step forward, will be very experienced in twenty six. Might

1003
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 1: have a realistic shot at winning another Heisman for USC.

1004
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 2: I lost a couple big receivers, but you know, Lincoln

1005
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:32,359
Speaker 2: Riley quarterback is always gonna have that starting point with

1006
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 2: at least heisman conversation.

1007
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 1: Who's it took? Hines.

1008
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 2: That's the big hope for twenty twenty six, and he

1009
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 2: certainly flashed this past year.

1010
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,359
Speaker 1: Yeah. Jonathan says as an Ohio State fan, I love

1011
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: that we finally beat the team up north and that

1012
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 1: it was Jaden fieldings the kickers final year. Okay. Yeah.

1013
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 1: Sean says as a Georgia Tech fan, I love the

1014
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 1: fire droll field goal to beat Clemson and finally end

1015
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,320
Speaker 1: the losing streak to the Tigers, and this time Clemson

1016
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 1: doesn't have the excuse that the Shawn Watson tore his

1017
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: acl Thank you, Sean. Also true. Yeah, Doctor Keith chimes in,

1018
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: I love that Oklahoma's once soft and embarrassing defense is

1019
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 1: finally a source of pride for its toughness. Wouldn't mind

1020
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: having a better offense, though, But but but that's like

1021
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 1: the defensive is neighbor good.

1022
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:24,279
Speaker 2: Oklahoma was the like in spite of team of the year, Right.

1023
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 2: I mentioned that at the top. Right, Despite not having

1024
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 2: an all passing game, despite not being able to stop anybody, like,

1025
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 2: despite having basically no pop on offense, Oklahoma went.

1026
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 1: To the playoff against what kind of schedule, of course,

1027
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:42,359
Speaker 1: of gawlin, Yeah, Daniel says as a Duck fan, I

1028
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:43,800
Speaker 1: love that I got to go to the first of

1029
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 1: our home playoff game with my parents and wife. What

1030
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 1: a day. Hey, very cool, very cool. Probably won't be

1031
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 1: reported nationally that nationally got to go to this that

1032
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 1: Daniel got to go to this game. Excuse me, but

1033
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 1: cool moment. Yeah, it's a lot of fun. Agree, Dan

1034
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 1: says a different Dan, I love that Purdue was so bad.

1035
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 1: I could really enjoy the great weather we had in

1036
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 1: Minnesota this fall, and I also got to see more

1037
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: Oscar dominees than normal because I have no desire to

1038
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 1: watch the Boilers lose by thirty five every week. Can

1039
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 1: I tell you something. One I get it. I mean

1040
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 1: I don't get it.

1041
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 2: I root for a team that is never going to

1042
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 2: be or has never been to that consistent level that

1043
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 2: Perdue has been at. Two randomly had the opportunity. We

1044
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:28,719
Speaker 2: had a babysitter and then Jody with and I was

1045
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 2: invited out and I was like, you know what, I'm

1046
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 2: gonna go to a movie. I'm gonna do the rare,

1047
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:37,760
Speaker 2: rare thing. Sorry, And I went and saw Marty Supreme.

1048
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,359
Speaker 1: Oh how was it? You didn't tell me how it was?

1049
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 1: It was really good.

1050
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had great It's long, it's like two and

1051
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,720
Speaker 2: a half hours long, really good, had a great time.

1052
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 1: Do you tell me? Do you think Schlamee is getting

1053
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: little too big for his breeches?

1054
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:52,959
Speaker 2: I like Timmy c Man. I think he's really good.

1055
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 2: You mean, like going on all these shows and I

1056
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 2: don't know.

1057
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,360
Speaker 1: Kate and I have been having something of an internal

1058
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:02,359
Speaker 1: dispute here over shallow May because as you know, who's

1059
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 1: pro and who's anti. I think she has turned anti.

1060
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:10,839
Speaker 1: I'm still a shallomaniac as I ever was classic cater. Yeah,

1061
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 1: but she's she's she's saying that he seems like he's

1062
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 1: getting a little too into himself here, and I just

1063
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if they agree with that. But I

1064
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 1: also don't watch as many of celebrities. What kind of

1065
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 1: take is that.

1066
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,760
Speaker 2: I don't want every actor to be Daniel day Lewis

1067
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:29,799
Speaker 2: and just disappear into the fields of Ireland after every role.

1068
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: No, get out of town. This is the this is

1069
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:34,879
Speaker 1: the game. He's a movie He's a literal movie.

1070
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 2: Star, too full of himself. This is what you want

1071
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 2: for your movie movie stars, is it? That's what I

1072
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 2: want from my movie stars. Yeah, I want them to

1073
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 2: be a little bombastic, so YadA when they're dating a Jenner.

1074
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: I get. I don't shallow. May come on, I don't know.

1075
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's doing. He's good in his movies.

1076
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 1: He seems like an entertaining dude on talk shows. Might

1077
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 1: be more of like the Killian Murphy variety of actor

1078
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:00,399
Speaker 1: who does kind of go and do his own thing

1079
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:04,279
Speaker 1: and mostly he's about the craft. Yeah, yeah, get out

1080
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 1: of town, Kate. This is why Ty and I do

1081
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:09,879
Speaker 1: this show together. It really, I don't mind. I'm still

1082
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 1: we got to get him on the show. Actually, he

1083
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 1: might be better.

1084
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:15,719
Speaker 2: He is I don't think he's a college football guy

1085
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 2: though he was on game day right yeah, and he

1086
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 2: picked all the games, right yeah.

1087
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 1: I think he's like a French soccer fan I below

1088
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: the track. Yeah, and he likes I know, he's a

1089
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 1: New Yorker, big on the Knicks. He roots for the

1090
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 1: Knicks and stuff. Yeah yeah, big wwe head. But yeah.

1091
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 1: Brian says, I love ball State because they tried so

1092
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 1: hard to be the worst team in college football and

1093
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: they couldn't even accomplish that.

1094
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 2: It's true, Well, they wanted to tank for the number

1095
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 2: one pick, right, that was the goal for Ball State.

1096
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:47,480
Speaker 1: That's how that's how it works in the MAC. Yeah.

1097
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 1: Mark says, I love that for the first five weeks

1098
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 1: of the season, Florida State was the best team in

1099
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 1: the country for the first how long five weeks of

1100
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 1: the season. He says.

1101
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:00,840
Speaker 2: That, look, you can take a lot of things away

1102
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,960
Speaker 2: from Florida State and the Mike norval Era and all

1103
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:06,439
Speaker 2: of the ups and downs. You can never take away

1104
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 2: randomly beating Alabama with Boston College's quarterback in Week one,

1105
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 2: you can never take that away, Tommy c continue.

1106
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 1: And then Alabama went on to play what a gauntlet

1107
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: of a schedule collletive schedule made the playoffs. Course want

1108
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 1: a game in the playoffs and a bucket of wrenches

1109
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin. Yeah, continue Andrews says, I love that Rutgers

1110
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: had a top fifty offense for the first time in

1111
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 1: fifteen years. Passing offense had multiple threats.

1112
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, there we go, and one of those I think

1113
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 2: is going to play with your guy with Jaron Kave

1114
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 2: Sangapoola Tella at Cali.

1115
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 1: I'm strong that's right.

1116
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 3: Uh.

1117
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 1: Kelvin Dan says, as an Arizona Wildcats fan, I love

1118
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 1: that they were able to retain both Seth Daggie, the

1119
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, and quarterback Noah Fafiita. Seth Daggi by far

1120
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 1: revitalized Arizona, and he gets credit for Brent Brenna's recent

1121
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 1: contract extension to twenty thirty. I don't think it's realistic

1122
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 1: day he stays long term. Look out for his name

1123
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: in the next coaching carosel. He did a good job.

1124
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 1: They did do a good job. I would say that

1125
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 1: extends to the entire philosophy around Brent Brennan at Arizona.

1126
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: We talked a lot about how after year one it

1127
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 1: did not look promising for year two, but seems like

1128
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 1: they got things back on track good.

1129
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 2: By the way the like I know, Sethegy moved around

1130
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 2: a bunch as a player, the even late stage Air Raid,

1131
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 2: Texas Tech quarterbacks in like the Prime State, Like they're

1132
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 2: all succeeding like Lincoln Riley, I mean, Graham Harrell hasn't

1133
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 2: had a great coaching career, but he's made moves in

1134
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 2: the coaching world. Davis Webb, I think got is like

1135
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 2: a huge NFL up and coming name as a coach.

1136
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 1: Right. I wanted Davis Webb to be the Giants offensive coordinator.

1137
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:45,160
Speaker 1: I get why they didn't go in that direction, but

1138
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be a superstar.

1139
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 2: And I'll say it. I know Kate disagrees. Patrick Mahomes

1140
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 2: pretty good at football. The cater continue final one here

1141
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 2: that came in at least that I'm going to read

1142
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 2: today from Nick. What a bit of a different take here.

1143
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 1: But I like this. I highlighted this ESPN cinematography. ESPN cinematography,

1144
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 1: It says, I am a Michigan fan. I hate the

1145
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 1: ESPN politicking, but the way they produce the game, especially

1146
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 1: the SEC night games, okay, is so far clear of

1147
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 1: the other networks. It makes you feel like you're actually there.

1148
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:34,440
Speaker 2: It's a good question of like who's whose production value

1149
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 2: and who's full like three hundred and sixties, so graphics

1150
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:41,360
Speaker 2: and sound and having the you know, the skycam stuff,

1151
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 2: the you know the whatever, the wirecam all that stuff.

1152
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 2: Who had the best production announcers obviously are a huge

1153
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 2: part of this sound mix and crispness of cameras. We've

1154
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 2: talked about, you know, the like seventh Team on ESPN

1155
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:58,919
Speaker 2: using four ADP cameras and trying to upconvert and looking

1156
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:04,640
Speaker 2: to garbage. I think it's probably the ESPN, ABC, like one, two,

1157
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:09,000
Speaker 2: three teams was probably in totality the best, even though

1158
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 2: I hate the score belt and that's at least gotten

1159
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 2: a little bit thinner. I didn't love NBC sound mix

1160
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 2: this year. No, I didn't love the broadcast booth at CBS,

1161
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 2: though we're we're Dell heads here.

1162
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 1: Obviously. She does a great job on the sideline and

1163
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 1: was on the show the Fox thing.

1164
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 2: Fox was okay, but the broadcast was a wild card

1165
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 2: between Gus going to fourteen out of ten sometimes and

1166
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 2: Joel Klatt disliking I mean, this is an episode all

1167
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 2: about love and was.

1168
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 1: Like, I don't like the NCAA tournament.

1169
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 2: Dah, I know we apologize for that, so, you know

1170
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 2: a little a little bit like loud scoldie in the booth.

1171
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think by and large, from a if

1172
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 2: you're gonna all around, it's probably the ESPN one.

1173
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. The ultimate power up is to get access to

1174
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 1: ESPN four k oh because you don't have the commercial Yeah,

1175
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 1: the commercials. Yeah, yeah, you know you got to poison.

1176
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 1: But doing still without the commercials is a pretty upgraded experience.

1177
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 1: Is it real four K? Or is it like up

1178
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 1: converted ten ADP to my I? Yeah, and yes, I

1179
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: am one of the dorks that when I'm using YouTube

1180
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:24,080
Speaker 1: TV not a sponsor could be. Yeah, I do go

1181
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: down to the little thing at the bottom that says

1182
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 1: stats for nerds, Yes, to look to see frame rates

1183
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 1: and drop frames and all that crap, And to my eye,

1184
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 1: it does look like it's actually four K.

1185
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 2: Okay, so they're shooting with four K cameras and broadcasting it,

1186
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 2: you know, linking it up with four K I believe.

1187
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 1: Now. If I'm wrong about that, it's oliverbal at gmail

1188
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:47,919
Speaker 1: dot com. You can let me know. Tim Burke will

1189
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 1: let us know. But yeah, somebody let us know. But indeed,

1190
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 1: the experience I tend to agree with Nick they yeah,

1191
01:02:56,400 --> 01:03:00,280
Speaker 1: it's I think it's the most immersive. Would agree, Yeah,

1192
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 1: I would agree. All right, why don't we leave it there?

1193
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:06,760
