Speaker 1: than you are. And I can tell you it is

11
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 1: wind swept. Oh, it is time to really be careful

12
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: up there on the deck as we're getting close to shore. Tie,

13
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: we are nearing close to college football postseason shore. But

14
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: there's some work that has to be done. So wait,

15
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: have we been out you're masked? Have we been out

16
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: on the open seas this whole time? A lah water

17
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: world waiting for the season to end? Is that, in

18
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: a way we go with floating along time? In a way,

19
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: we've sort of been floating along trying to figure out

20
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: the ways of this beautiful sea, you know, the mysterious

21
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: ways that she is able to take us from port

22
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: to ports yep, and just do our best along the way.

23
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: But we've got a very exciting twos cruise for you

24
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: today because we really instead of a lot of what

25
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: our two's cruise episodes have amounted to, I shouldn't say

26
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: a lot, but there's a chunk of what our two's

27
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: cruise shows have amounted to have basically been variations of

28
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: is this situation all right? No, okay, no it's not

29
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: Is this situation right? Oh? Yeah, it's not bad, it's

30
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: not bad. We're going to try to take up a

31
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: pretty holistic view today on the twos cruise. I'm very

32
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: excited about that. If you are, I don't know a

33
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: board for your maiden voyage here with us on the

34
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,960

59
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: Did you happen to see who had a pick six

60
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 2: for Notre Dame this past weekend?

61
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: Is it your guy? I forget Kyle something. It is

62
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: not my guy?

63
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, it's not Kyle Hamilton.

64
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: Now oh was it Moala? He wanted to say, feely

65
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: Moala Paul Moala Wala. We're gonna split our audience in

66
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: half with the continued use of I Am Mowana, but

67
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: the half that stays with us will be more dedicated

68
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: to than any podcast audience. I was, honestly if some

69
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: people talked about the game last week, the I Am

70
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: Mowana game, and we got some feedback from people who said,

71
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: you know what, I appreciate the swing, didn't really didn't

72
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: get there for me. Got old that was like a

73
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: very small minority of people. I was anticipating it being

74
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: a lot more split, a lot more people saying I

75
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: don't know, because that's how I felt. I had a

76
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: good time doing the episode, but conceptually, before I got

77
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: into it, that's how I felt. And then we got

78
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: the feedback from the listeners, and it turns out our

79
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: listenership is like exclusively thirty three and a half year

80
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: old dads who appreciate and love Mowana. So, you know,

81
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: misstep from me, I guess, but I'm glad it was

82
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: what Paul, what did you say? Malala? Paul Moala? Paul Malala,

83
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: so very close to Moana. So we're inspiring the people.

84
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 2: What are we doing today? We're not doing the Moana

85
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: theme again this time. You've got the keys. Where are

86
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: we going on our Tues cruise tonight?

87
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: So we're going oceanic. We are going with a river

88
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: regatta and we have a seafaring School of the Week

89
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: first though. By the way, rankings wise, yes, here was

90
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: your eight people. Because we're recording this even though it's

91
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: the Twoes cruise, it's recorded before the Tuesday rankings for

92
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: the playoff. If that's the thing that you like, those

93
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: come out. It's LSU, Ohio State, Clemson, Georgia, Alabama, Alabama

94
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: of course down there starting quarterback. I don't know if

95
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: you've like, if you honestly believe, and I can listen

96
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: to cases for each but Alabama as the fifth best

97
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: team in the country with Mac Jones, are they I'm wow?

98
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: I mean, look, yeah, if there's any team in college

99
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: football that can make that claim, it's probably Alabama.

100
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: But two, it just took them to a different level.

101
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: Man.

102
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 2: He was so good. You know, it's just such a

103
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: water down version with Mac Jones. And unfortunately it sucks

104
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: to say it, but I'm inclined to say, no, they're

105
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: not top five.

106
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: So do you think and I did not, you know,

107
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: schedule this question with you. I didn't put this in

108
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: our outline or anything like that. So I apologize for

109
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: putting you on the spot like this. But there are

110
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: and have been ways in which Alabama could sort of sneak,

111
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: as to derisive a term, but Alabama could get into

112
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: the playoff if unexpected losses were to happen to say,

113
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: you know, Georgia LSU, Clemson, Ohio State and conference championship

114
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: games and Alabama looks strong against Auburn and doesn't have

115
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,239
Speaker 1: to play. You know, we've seen that scenario before. Sure,

116
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: if Alabama is in position at eleven and one, let's

117
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: say mac Jones leads Alabama to a comfortable, if not

118
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: dominant win over Auburn, like a twenty four to fourteen,

119
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: and it's never really in doubt there, you know, last

120
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: few minutes of the game. Sure finished eleven and one,

121
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: and there's good enough there's a good enough case for

122
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: Alabama to get in. But we have a pretty good

123
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: sense that Mac Jones is not probably a good enough

124
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: quarterback to be a top top top team, to lead

125
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: a top team and to beat a top team. Should

126
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: that be dramatically considered by the committee. Should that just

127
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: be a factor and a sea of many factors, where

128
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: do you come down?

129
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 2: I think it should be a factor. I think it

130
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 2: should be something the committee considers.

131
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: You might remember a couple of years ago with Cardile

132
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: Jones absolutely and Ohio State, that was a very unique situation.

133
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: He was a third string quarterback. Did they leave doubt though? No,

134
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: they didn't leave out, They didn't break out. And I

135
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: think that's your point. I think it's a valid one.

136
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: But they won, but they won their conference. Ohio State

137
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: won their conference. They won their conference.

138
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 2: But they also looked really good down the stretch with

139
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: Cardile Jones at the helm, right, And I think that's

140
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: the point you're you're going for here. If mac Jones

141
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: can come out and lead Alabama to you know, very

142
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: decisive victory in all their remaining games, then it's obviously

143
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 2: a tougher a tougher spot for the committee to be

144
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: And I just the problem I have with it is

145
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: there's so much AMMO elsewhere. You know, even though there

146
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: wasn't a state back in that Cardile Jones era, what

147
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: Ohio State did removed so much doubt that it was

148
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: almost I thought a no brainer for them to go

149
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 2: through into the playoffs. But there's so many, many other

150
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: really good teams. Like we've got an interesting case developing

151
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: in the Pac twelve. Let's say if both Oregon and

152
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 2: Utah went out and play in the Pac twelve Championship, Oklahoma, right, Oklahoma,

153
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: maybe not the best show in this past weekend, but

154
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 2: they're going to have a chance against Oklahoma State. They're

155
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: gonna have another chance in the Big twelve Championship game.

156
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: Both of those teams have you know, title claims in

157
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: their conference.

158
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 2: They would have title claims in their conference. Sure, So

159
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: I just I think it's too crowded for Alabama at

160
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: this juncture.

161
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: You mentioned how and I'll remove the Big Ten Championship

162
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: from it in the way that you mentioned Cardil Jones

163
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: and Ohio State left no doubt just murdering Wisconsin taking

164
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: it to Alabama and obviously winning the national championship eventually.

165
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: But in that way, if Alabama is in the conversation,

166
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: which is a lot more wild CARDI perhaps and Ohio

167
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: State was sort of in that position, but they got in.

168
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: If they are in that, you know, every chaos happens

169
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: these last couple of weeks, and Alabama is on merely

170
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: equal footing as a bunch of other teams. Is there

171
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: a degree victory, a margin of victory over Auburn that

172
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: will ease your mind into mac Jones and Alabama being

173
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: more of a playoff consideration. If they beat them thirty

174
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: five to three, if they beat them fifty two to twenty, like,

175
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: if they really lay it on them, does that sway

176
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: you anymore? I think so? Okay, I think so. I

177
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: think it's sort of human nature to get mark. I

178
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: don't think you can write them off now. I'm not,

179
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 1: but I'm not willing to write them off.

180
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 2: All I'm saying is we have insufficient data on mac

181
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: Jones and what the mac Jones offense looks like. And

182
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: it also feels more crowded this year and will be

183
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: more complicated. The road is more complicated for Alabama than

184
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 2: it was for Ohio State in a somewhat similar situation

185
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago.

186
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: Where do you think, and I don't know, if you

187
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: have the rankings in front of you, where do you

188
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: think there is a line? Where's that line? Is it

189
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: after Oklahoma before Penn State? Is it after Penn State

190
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: before Florida? Is it after Alabama before Oregon. Where is

191
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: the playoff caliber tier to you?

192
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 2: Well, if we're talking about the AP, we've got LSU,

193
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 2: Ohio State clips in Georgia, I would say the playoff

194
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: line for me is after Clemson and Wow. I feel

195
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 2: really strongly about those top three teams, but everything below

196
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 2: that line, to me, comes with a degree of risk,

197
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: and certainly those teams are not without question. Georgia, we've

198
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: talked nauseam about their offense, defense, very good offensive concern. Alabama,

199
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 2: we just spent the first ten minutes of this show

200
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 2: talking about mac Jones and Tua and what the offense

201
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 2: looks like, lack of a championship, so on and so forth.

202
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 2: Oregon and Utah are interesting and I hope to god

203
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: they both play in that Pac twelve game. That would

204
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 2: be a lot of fun. But I think we both

205
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 2: Hargan's in.

206
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: We both have.

207
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 2: Questions about each of those two teams. Oklahoma, Oklahoma, My

208
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 2: lingering question is can they separate from a top forty team?

209
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 2: Didn't happen this past weekend. You could argue they were

210
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 2: lucky to win, and certainly with Penn State and you

211
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 2: go down to Florida, it's you know, maybe Penn State

212
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 2: still has a puncher's chance. I don't think that's the case,

213
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 2: but I could certainly envision that scenario. And I think

214
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 2: Florida's just too far down. Plus they've got two losses.

215
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: So in terms of who do I feel confident in

216
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: as a playoff team, it really is only three teams

217
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: at this point, and it's LSC, Ohio State, and Clemson.

218
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: They're the three unbeatings. So my hang tier is after Utah.

219
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: I think Utah, Oregon, Alabama, and Georgia could all hang

220
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: with the top three teams could all appear to be

221
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: playing on the same level. I think you're right in

222
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: saying LC, Ohio State, and Clemson right now have sort

223
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: of pulled away from the field. But I think in

224
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: terms of Georgia's defense, Oregon's you know, combination of defense

225
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: and quarterback, Utah's defense, and Oregon Utah, you can make

226
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: an argument that they aren't fully tested, they haven't separated themselves.

227
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: Really sure good team, right, I just I think it's

228
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: between Utah and Oklahoma. Oklahoma doesn't seem trustworthy to me

229
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: that the degree to which their defense has fallen against

230
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: pretty decent teams has them on the outside looking in,

231
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: But otherwise I think the other teams, those four teams George, Alabama, Oregon,

232
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: Utah are all playoff GEA.

233
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: I agree that they're playoff caliber, and I think to

234
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: some degree they're playoff worthy, But just in terms of confidence, now,

235
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 2: sure confidence, given where we are, I'm really only confident

236
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 2: in those top three teams.

237
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: Is there any team that doesn't have the resume but

238
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: that you think could neutral site any given Saturday type thing? Like,

239
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: do you think Michigan all of a sudden looks like

240
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: they're hangable? I guess we'll know against Ohio State in

241
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. But is there any team outside

242
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: of that conversation that at least does something well enough

243
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: to say, well, I don't know, I don't know. Michigan's interesting,

244
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: aren't they? Yeah?

245
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think Florida. So you're saying basically outside

246
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: that top eight.

247
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: Outside that top eight outside even like Florida's had their

248
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: shots against playoff caliber teams, and so has Michigan obviously,

249
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: but right now, the level that Michigan is playing, to me,

250
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: there's something a little interesting.

251
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: Well it's ever since the second half of the Penn

252
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 2: State game. Yeah, if I've said it once to set

253
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 2: it a thousand times, it seems like I don't know.

254
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say things clicked, but things sort of did click.

255
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: And then there was the Notre Dame game where they

256
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 2: destroyed Notre Dame. And since then they've been They've been

257
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: playing really well offensively. Shaye Patterson has had his best

258
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 2: game in this past weekend as a Wolverine. So all

259
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: that stuff is very encouraging. But certainly, as you go

260
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 2: down past eight and nine with Penn State, of every team,

261
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 2: I would say, beyond Penn State, I think I fear

262
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 2: Michigan the most. I think they're the one that feels

263
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 2: like they're playing with the most momentum right now. And

264
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 2: you know, a game this weekend against Indiana, which we'll

265
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: talk about on Thursday, but certainly the game against Ohio

266
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 2: State looms pretty large.

267
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: The other wild card I have is Colgate Coldgate. Sure,

268
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: do you want to play our first game? I'd love to. Yes,

269
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: all right, I guess I should introduce it since it's

270
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: my day, my games. So we've talked about currents before.

271
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: We've talked about was the Antarctic circumpolar currents. Also, by

272
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: the way, Yeah, we've mentioned that also an object of

273
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: a great news story in that scientists confirm that this

274
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: is much more powerful than originally thought. I love a

275
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: good originally thought. I love like giant squids are I

276
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: guess just squid. Giant squid are up to eighty five

277
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: percent bigger than scientists ever imagine they would stuff like that.

278
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: I love in the science world. So we're gonna dive

279
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: literally figuratively into currents tye, Okay, and we're going to

280
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: go through some Power five divisions and we have a

281
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: G five game after this. But we're going to go

282
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: into some divisions and we're gonna sort of determine and

283
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: have an opinion about which teams are currently riding the current,

284
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: which teams are moving in the right direction. Everything appears

285
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: to be moving the right way. They're in that antarctic

286
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: circumposar situation, so kind of like Michigan as we just described. Right. Yes,

287
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: so I don't have the Big ten East on my list.

288
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna go through some very specific divisions.

289
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: Let's start with the SEC East, Okay, and you could

290
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: it can be one team, it can be no teams,

291
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: it can be six teams, it can be however many

292
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: you'd like. But in the sec East, which teams do

293
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: you feel like are moving in the correct direction? Okay,

294
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: so this is sort of like a Malana theme. Yeah,

295
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: when it seems I can play the sound if you'd like. Well,

296
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: Malana theme was sort of like looking to the horizon

297
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: to see who needs to make a change. I would

298
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: like to more. I would like to highlight teams who

299
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: you know have their their rudders under them. Tie. All right, Well,

300
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: Georgia I think goes to that saying, but okay, let

301
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: me let me offer something else. George has been in

302
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: that direction and all season long. Sure, this isn't a

303
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: recent current that I want to I want a team

304
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: that is sudden, not suddenly, but I want a team

305
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: who is moving forward, whereas Georgia is just forward. Okay,

306
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: I want momentum.

307
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 2: Well, I think the most obvious one is probably Florida.

308
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: Sure and sure they might classify as a team that

309
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: has been moving forward, but it certainly hasn't been for

310
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 2: all that long. And what I'm encouraged by on the

311
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: Florida front is something that we mentioned on Sunday. They've

312
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 2: been forced to play pretty much all this year with

313
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 2: a backup quarterback. There's a really good chance they're going

314
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 2: to finish ten and two. That's an outstanding season for

315
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 2: Dan mullen. If you're a Florida fan and you see

316
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: a ten wins season, knowing some of the challenges they've had,

317
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 2: not just turns over Miami and Florida State huge wins

318
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: just within the context of Florida football at a bare minimum,

319
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 2: those are big wins at ten and two. Some of

320
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 2: the challenges they've had, both with injury and without injury.

321
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 2: You know, running the football has been a bit of

322
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 2: an issue, sometimes better than others. But I think the

323
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 2: extent to which they were able to rely on that

324
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 2: defense get enough out of their offense at times a

325
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,479
Speaker 2: lot out of their offense on way to what appears

326
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 2: to be a ten win season. You can't help but

327
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 2: coming away feeling pretty encouraged about the future at Florida.

328
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: I think that's totally right. And good defense that has

329
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: been beat up at times in the backup quarterback are huge.

330
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: I was almost going to go Kentucky for trying to

331
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,239
Speaker 1: follow up a historic year losing as much as they

332
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: did and then losing as much as they did this year,

333
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: especially at quarterback. The defense has still been pretty good upfront,

334
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: and they should make a bowl game. So that was

335
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: my initial direction, But I think I'm gonna go Tennessee.

336
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,719
Speaker 1: Actually Tennessee the tennisance man. Yeah, let's talk about Tennessee.

337
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: And one final point on Kentucky. Yeah, again, something that

338
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: comes to mind just because we talked about it on

339
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: the Sunday Show, But we saw a lot of production

340
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:10,239
Speaker 1: at the running back position for Kentucky. Again, they've had

341
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 1: to shift their whole offense because of injury and the

342
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: whole Terry Wilson things sucks. Sucks there without him this year,

343
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: one of the good guys in college football. But the

344
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: fact that they're able to rely on two red shirt

345
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: freshmen to rush for a bunch of yardage, I think

346
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: is it's important. You know, they've been working to try

347
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: and build that program up from a depth perspective for

348
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: a while now, So the fact that they're kind of there,

349
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: even if it's only at one position, I think is

350
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: proof positive that something's going in a good direction. So

351
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: with Tennessee, they've won four or five. I think the

352
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: defense has been pretty good. They've gotten some big plays

353
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: from some big play guys on offense, They've had nice

354
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: moments through the air, and especially with that start and

355
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: losing the games. I won't say they've lost them in

356
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: freak ways, but they lost them last second to teams

357
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: that they really had no business losing to. And to

358
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: maintain focus and to have the second half of the

359
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 1: season that they've had again winning four or five Mississippi State,

360
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: South Carolina, UAB, Kentucky not terrible teams South Carolina maybe,

361
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: but finishing with Miszoo and Vandy and saying, yeah, they

362
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 1: have a chance to beat Miszoo on the road. That

363
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: would have been a weird thing to say at the

364
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: beginning of the season. So the Tennissance is real. We

365
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: talked about it. This is just reinforcing my own somewhat

366
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: okay prediction. So that's that's why I have and I

367
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: have MISSOO is just floating way outside of the current Okay,

368
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: Missoo just no offense. Since ol Miss, they've lost five

369
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: straight they and again should probably lose at home to

370
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: Tennessee Wild to say in August, all right, what is

371
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: our next division? The Big ten West? OH has the

372
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: current and should we just discuss the Illinois Fighting Lion.

373
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: I well, Minnesota I think is assumed. Right, Yes, they're

374
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: assumed because they've been doing it all year long. Nothing

375
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: is carrying them forward faster than usual.

376
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 2: I feel like even though Wisconsin started out like a

377
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 2: ball of fire and seem to have the wind in

378
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 2: their sales, even though there have been some unfortunate losses

379
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 2: there and maybe we're not talking about them in the

380
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 2: same manner, they are at least continuing to drift in

381
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 2: a good direction.

382
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: Correct.

383
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 2: Iowa has been drifting sort of in the doldrums for

384
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 2: a long time now, Like they're always the same team, reliable,

385
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 2: but always the same team.

386
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's a case that they're a current

387
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 1: has started because of what they did this past but

388
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: we're looking for more moments. They always have conflicting currents.

389
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: Like the defense is pretty consistent this year. They've got

390
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: a pretty good quarterback that I think we like, but

391
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: they still can't really run the ball, so it's conflicting.

392
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: It's Doldermy Illinois is the answer here, Dan so Ty.

393
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: Illinois is the number one team in college football as

394
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: it relates to turnover margin. Turnovers, as we know, are

395
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: largely luck base which way the ball bounces on a fumble.

396
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: Somebody getting their hand up to tip an interception is skill.

397
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: But where that ball goes, who it bounces off of,

398
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: there's a lot of luck involved in turnovers. That luck.

399
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: Current has been pushing the S S Lion and I

400
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: pretty well. And I read to you right now, this

401
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: is how Illinois ends up in the Big Ten Championship game.

402
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: Give it to me. Illinois needs to win at Iowa.

403
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: This is I did not come up with this, by

404
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: the way, but this was from I think Jeremy Werner

405
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: from twenty four to seven. Illinois needs to win at Iowa.

406
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: Minnesota needs to lose at Northwestern. Okay. Wisconsin needs to

407
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: lose at home to Purdue. Illinois needs to win at

408
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: home against Northwestern. Okay, Wisconsin needs to win at Minnesota.

409
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: That's the Paul Bunyans X game. So I'm counting one

410
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: two of those five things seeming likely. But it only

411
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: takes five, only five things for the ALI and I

412
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: to end up in Indy. It's a current tie. Yeah,

413
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: that's a current Okay, do you want to go to

414
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: a new division because I have Nebraska floating along and

415
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: I don't just I don't want to talk about Nebraska Yeah,

416
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: let's go to the next next division, the ACC Coastal time.

417
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: Oh boy, who has that antarctic circmpolar under them? Uh,

418
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech's the obvious one right now. I think that's

419
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: a good answer.

420
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 2: Virginia Tech is seven and three very quietly. Yeah, they've

421
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 2: they've pulled it together after a bit of a rocky start,

422
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 2: and I remember it wasn't all that long ago. People

423
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 2: are talking about justin Fuentee buyout, Yeah, buy out, Yeah,

424
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 2: what happens. I don't think he's in any danger at

425
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 2: this point. The way he's pulled things together and just

426
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 2: the way they're playing. I think he's got the inside

427
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 2: track on winning the ACC Coastal, which would be a

428
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 2: really nice story in college football outside of Virginia Tech.

429
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: Though this is tough.

430
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,160
Speaker 2: Uh you could argue that Virginia feels like they're going against.

431
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: The right now. Yeah, it's Virginia has been tough. Virginia

432
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: has been tough. Pitt still has an opportunity, still has

433
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,959
Speaker 1: an opportunity, for sure. Yeah, Pitt. I never know what

434
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: to think about Pitt. Mm hmm.

435
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 2: Every week I feel like I want to be more

436
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 2: confident in Pitt. They do something to make me less confident. Okay,

437
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 2: so it's sort of a conflicting point. They've won three

438
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 2: or four, they finished a couple toss ups. Yeah, past

439
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 2: defense has been very strong. Offense has been the issue,

440
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 2: outside of, of course, our new guy, Shaki Jacques louis.

441
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: I like that, thank you, that's very good. Yeah, of

442
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: course there.

443
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 2: I think my problem with the coastal outside of Virginia Tech,

444
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 2: is there a couple teams that maybe have a light current.

445
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 2: H Okay, you know, like Pitt. Maybe sometimes Miami. I've

446
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 2: got reason to.

447
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: Be hopeful Miami might be my answer. I've got reason

448
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: to be hopeful about Miami. I've got reason to be

449
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: hopeful about North Carolina, even reason to be hopeful about Georgia Tech.

450
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 1: But are they fully being pushed by no entum of

451
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: quality results? No, that's my problem with this, right. I

452
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: think my answer is probably Miami. But Virginia Tech's right there,

453
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: Pitt is too much of a huge question mark on offense.

454
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: Miami's won four or five against you know, not insignificant

455
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: or significant opponents, Virginia Pitt, Louisville, Florida State. They've lost

456
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 1: to Georgia Tech. I just what what They've been generating

457
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: big plays on the ground. They've had some turnover luck,

458
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: but the defense has been strong in terms of who

459
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,959
Speaker 1: I think i'd like based on their recent results on

460
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 1: a neutral field. Tonight, call up Adam Amin, get his

461
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: whole crew together. Let's make something happen. Let's everybody meet

462
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: in Charlotte and figure out how to play this game

463
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: as tournament. I think it's Miami. To me, it's Miami

464
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: right now. I think they have the momentum. Duke is floating.

465
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: Duke is floating nowhere near the current. Their offense has

466
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: been an abject disaster, and they we talk about Illinois,

467
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: Duke is dead last among Power five teams in turnovers lost.

468
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: Not helpful. What is the baseball term when like a

469
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 1: pitcher hits a home run helping his own cause? Yeah,

470
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: I gotta help yourself. Yeah, Duke is not helping their

471
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 1: own casts with that stat the PAC twelve South? Wow? Uh?

472
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,959
Speaker 2: Who was this question? Sponsored by Clay Hilton?

473
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: Hey, before we go on, let's talk about Clay Heilton

474
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: in the job. He's done here Now. The Clay Helton's

475
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: are built in. I was just gonna go through an

476
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: ad read for Clay Hilton built in a German blade factory. Right,

477
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: So the PAC twelve South in terms of currents, who

478
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: is riding high? Right? Right?

479
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 2: Well, Utah's Utah's riding high. We assume that right.

480
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 1: Outside USC, Ucla has had spurts. We allowed to say

481
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: that on the show, Sure, okay.

482
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 2: But I don't know if i'd say the writing high.

483
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 2: Arizona State just lost to Oregon State. They're certainly not

484
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 2: riding high now. Arizona has been kind of a nightmare all.

485
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: Year, floating nowhere near the circle. Yeah, and Colorado is

486
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: in transition. Yeah, I don't think there's any momentum to

487
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: speak of there. I like the higher.

488
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 2: I think ultimately they'll get there, But for the time being,

489
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 2: outside of Utah, the only answer here could possibly be USC.

490
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, USC is one four or five. But

491
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: they should have lost to Colorado and they got blown

492
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: out by Oregon, and so it's hard to feel super confident,

493
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: even with a nice showing against Cal. I have this

494
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: as just low tide. I don't you know. I think

495
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: it's a dearth of aqua momentum. Yeah, and Arizona's floating.

496
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: You fire your defensive coordinator and you finish, by the way,

497
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: with road game rivalry, Territorial Cup, and Utah, it's me

498
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: a rough finish. It's tough. Yeah, let's just talk Texas teams,

499
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: teams in the state of Texas that play in the

500
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: Big Twelve, because there's no division to specifically look at, Okay,

501
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: so that means, as I pull it up here, we're

502
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: talking about Baylor. Yeah, the Texas Longhorns, TCU, and Texas Tech. Yes,

503
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: so four teams.

504
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 2: Baylor I think is that has been going in a

505
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 2: good direction all year. Yes, the loss against Oklahoma was

506
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 2: a bit of a setback, but we'll always have the

507
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 2: first half.

508
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: Won't we We will, And even Baylor, I think Bear

509
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: fans would be pretty quick to tell you they're not

510
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 1: feeling like as a complete team. And as results go

511
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: that they're moving, they're skimming atop the water. They're winning

512
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,120
Speaker 1: a lot more often than not. But recently with TCU

513
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: with who do they have before West Virginia, that was

514
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 1: not a particular current inspiring game. So even that answer

515
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: is not fully accurate. You can't say Texas with the

516
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: straight face here now you cannot. It's been a rough

517
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: year for Texas, to say the absolute very least. Their

518
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: secondary has been a disaster. They've had a lot of injuries,

519
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: They've got four losses, So Texas isn't the answer here, TCU.

520
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: You could maybe make a case for TCU talk frogs, ty.

521
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: I don't really want to.

522
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 2: But if you insist, yeah, first, before we talk frogs,

523
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 2: where do we stand in Texas Tech?

524
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: I mean it's the same thing when who did you

525
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: bring up Colorado that it's a transitionary year for Texas Tech.

526
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: I've been impressed with the Red Riders, and if we

527
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: want to talk Tech we can. It's I think it's

528
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: between TCU and Texas Tech.

529
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 2: I think so too. What I what i'd point to

530
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 2: with Tech? And I'm you know, I got the stats

531
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 2: in front of me here. There aren't any great eye

532
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 2: popping stats. Obviously, this is a team that's got a

533
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 2: bunch of losses six losses, four and six right now

534
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 2: at time of recording. But it does feel like this

535
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 2: is a team that has played hard every game and

536
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 2: after coaching change, after losing their quarterback very early on,

537
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 2: clearly the results have not been there. But took TCU

538
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 2: to the gun this past weekend lost to Kansas, but

539
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 2: that was closed. They were within ten at Iowa State,

540
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: within three against Baylor, got destroyed by Oklahoma. That wasn't

541
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 2: very pretty. But point here is that they've been in

542
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 2: a lot of games and it's been a rough go,

543
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 2: but they've maintained that intensity and I like seeing that.

544
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: I think it's Frogs. So they beat a talented offense

545
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: in tech. You beat Texas by ten, I don't know

546
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: how you don't, even even with this year's Texas version.

547
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: You got it. That has to be a notch. Take

548
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: Baylor to overtime a top fifteen team nine to all.

549
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: I think at the end of regulation, I think it's

550
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: Frogs who are riding a bit of an interesting current.

551
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: Not a powerful one, but an interesting one. I'm very

552
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: interested in the whole Max dugg In, yeah thing freshman.

553
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: He's a freshman. If he can continue.

554
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 2: To improve, that would go a long way towards making

555
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 2: me feel more confident in TCU, because quarterback has been

556
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 2: a bit of an issue for them the last couple

557
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 2: of seasons now, so it's good to see he's getting

558
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 2: reps as a freshmen. Obviously needs to clean things up

559
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 2: a bit, but you know, if they have truly something there,

560
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 2: that would be very encouraging moving.

561
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: Forward, the reps seem invaluable. Yeah yeah, and he's got

562
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna have some big opportunities now down the stretch.

563
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: You know, there's tc You finished with TCU finishes well.

564
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: This week, they're on the road at Oklahoma, right, okay,

565
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: which would be a good experience for a freshman quarterback. And

566
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: then they close out the year at home against West Virginia,

567
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: which is a bowl playan I believe for them if

568
00:30:58,840 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: they lose to Oklahoma.

569
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, all right, so they have something to play

570
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 2: for for sure.

571
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:08,000

00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: There is a scene in I'm Gonna be honest. It's

596
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: one of my all time favorite movies, The Social Network. Tie.

597
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: You love that movie, don't you. I love The Social

598
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: Network so much. When I do work, when I'm editing scripts,

599
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: when I'm studying, I will listen to the Social Network soundtrack.

600
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: It is outstanding. And obviously there was a scene in

601
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: the Social Network that was on water with the Winkle

602
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: VII rowing in that crew race the Henley on Thames.

603
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember that scene. I do no, no, no,

604
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: no no. Yeah. So the name of this game that

605
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: we're about to play, we're gonna we're gonna take a

606
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: look at I think g five divisional races right now,

607
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: because they're all pretty wide open. Wide is maybe too extreme,

608
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: but they're all fairly open. So the name of this

609
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: game is Regatta, win your division first.

610
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 2: High love that sound clip maybe my favorite that we've

611
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 2: played all year, next to the spicy and I am.

612
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: Auana, next to the ones that you've selected. Yes, that's right,

613
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: next to the ones you've selected. Okay, let's start with

614
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: the American because we've got the East with Cincinnati up

615
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: two games. They have to lose to both Temple and Memphis,

616
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: and Temple needs to beat Yukon as well for Temple

617
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: to take the division. Now, Cincinnati has taken a step

618
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: back defensively against the past. The offense is only okay,

619
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: but they're surviving. They're winning their clunkers like we saw

620
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: last week, so Cincinnati looks to be in a pretty

621
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: good position. We also mentioned Temple with Rod Kerry is

622
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: sort of they are Northern Illinois. I like Anthony russo fine,

623
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: some accuracy issues, give me the ball away a little bit.

624
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 1: They were murdered by UCF and SMU. They've got an identity,

625
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: they have an identity, they are They field a really

626
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: strong defense. Yes, when they're not being murdered. In the

627
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: West three way tie atop the West, Memphis, SMU, Smooth,

628
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 1: and Navy. Memphis has the breaker because they've beaten both

629
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 1: SMU and Navy. Obviously the Tiger offense Norvell has been terrific.

630
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: Okay enough on defense, they did lose to Temple, and

631
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: SMU and Navy play on Saturday. Yes, so this is

632
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: getting sorted out as we speak. So that's that's not

633
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: the worst thing ever. And it should be noted that

634
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: Tulsa e c U and I'm on the record, I

635
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: like where ECU is going. I like where they're going,

636
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: and Yukon have all been a nightmare and are winless

637
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: in the conference, so should be noted. Any thoughts about

638
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: the American I'm.

639
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 2: Very curious to see benefits Cincinnati playing two weeks on

640
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 2: the twenty ninth. Right now, I'm seeing a projected margin

641
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 2: of Memphis by about twelve oh, okay, which seems a

642
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 2: little steep.

643
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: To me, Conference USA, it's looking like it's going to

644
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: be Marshall against the winner of Louisiana Tech and uab

645
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: La Tech. Skip Holt's future Notre Dame coach. Right, that's mean,

646
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. These neither one of those teams are terrific,

647
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: but that's okay. It should also be noted that ODU,

648
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: Old Dominion and UTAP are disasters, and congratulations to Rice

649
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: for getting off the disaster board this past week. That

650
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 1: is correct. There's your Conference USA check in the Mountain

651
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: West West will be decided between San Diego State and Hawaii.

652
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: Huge game this weekend for the division, and I just

653
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: if you're interested. Hawaii is actually running the ball a

654
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: lot better than they throw the ball and going up

655
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: against the San Diego State run defense that's excellent and

656
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: a San Diego State offense that they get eleven guys

657
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: out there. Tie, that's nice a thing I can say

658
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: about the San Diego State offense. And in the Mountain

659
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: Division Tie Boise is at Utah State this weekend and

660
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 1: that should decide things for the Mountain Well. Utah State

661
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: has lost a lot of non conference games, but doing

662
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: pretty well still, even though their offense is offense has

663
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: taken a pretty gigantic leap back with the absence of

664
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: Matt Wells and his staff, but good enough. So that

665
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: should be fun. Especially with how beat up Boise is

666
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 1: at quarterback. That's should be pretty competitive.

667
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 2: They're starting like their fifteenth string, now, aren't they something.

668
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: That they are? Jalen Henderson did a nice job this

669
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: past weekend, and UNLV and New Mexico are both disasters

670
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 1: in the Mirrable West. I think I can I can

671
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: say that into mid to late November. The mac Miami, Ohio,

672
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 1: Western Michigan is what we're looking at, and I should

673
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: also because I like to pat myself in the back

674
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 1: because I'm so rarely correct. I brought up Levonte Bellamy,

675
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: I think on our Dude watch List episode the Western

676
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: Michigan running back, who I said, reminded me a little

677
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: bit of Mi Michael James having an outstanding year for

678
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: Western Michigan. So nice. I just, you know, want to

679
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: shout that kind of thing out when it's appropriate. Sun Belt, Oh, So,

680
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: app State has taken a little bit of a step

681
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: back on defense, but they still have Zach Thomas, who's

682
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 1: very good. They can't lose to Troy if it wants

683
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: to win the sun Belt East, and on the other

684
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: side Louisiana Louisiana Lafayette whichever you prefer, looking good, but

685
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: also has Troy and Louisiana Monroe, who are both okay.

686
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: Do you have any thoughts about the sun Belt, the

687
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: Mountain West, or the mac My I would say most

688
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: intense thought. Oh, I'm sitting down now, please do I

689
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: love app State? Okay?

690
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 2: And I feel guilty because, for I don't know, at

691
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 2: least the last five years, I have made fun of

692
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 2: you for liking app State as much as you have.

693
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 2: And it is very apparent from watching them and paying

694
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 2: more attention to the Mountaineers this season that this is

695
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 2: a legit football program.

696
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: They're very good.

697
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 2: Lost their coach, bringing a new guy, Eli Drinkwitz. They

698
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 2: have been outstanding. They have continued that momentum, and it

699
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 2: just it's exciting to see them doing as well as

700
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 2: they as they have this season. It's clearly a very

701
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:35,280
Speaker 2: good football program.

702
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: They've beaten three separate Carolinas, North, South, and Coastal. Yeah,

703
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: he's pretty good. I mean Coastal Carolina is not pretty good,

704
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 1: but to beat North and South Carolina is nothing unusual.

705
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: I would say. The only thing with app State is

706
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: this should be a good year with how the program

707
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: was left by Scott Saderfield, and I know Eli Drinkwitz

708
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: should get credit for how well he has stewarded the

709
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: program in year zero, year one, whatever. I'm interested to

710
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: see if he is going to stay at app State

711
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: as long, if he is able to keep this going,

712
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: because inevitably there will be jobs along that eastern seaboard.

713
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: He's coached everywhere, though he's coached in the South. He

714
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: was at Boise, he's at NC State, so I think

715
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: he could be a name, and I don't know if

716
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: he will stay as long as at app State if

717
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: he continues this level of success. Well, they've just been

718
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 1: very good.

719
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 2: They've been having very good They've beaten the teams in

720
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 2: front of them, with the exception of course that Georgia's

721
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 2: Southern game, right, which is a matchup that has posed

722
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 2: some challenges for them in the past here in recent memory,

723
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 2: but by and large, still a really solid football program.

724
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,399
Speaker 2: Beat South Carolina two weeks ago on the road. That's

725
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 2: not something that's easy to do. And it teems like

726
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 2: there are far far more well known programs that are

727
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 2: unable to do that.

728
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good year to get South Carolina. I

729
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: would absolutely, But yeah, they have a couple of nice wins,

730
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: the win over Louisiana and the at least the win

731
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: over North Carolina. To me, those are those are significant

732
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: South Carolina. Yes, there are. There are elements of the

733
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: offense that have been impressive, but weird year for the

734
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: game Cocks otherwise. I mean, I don't know if you

735
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: have any strong FBS independence thoughts. I'm positive UMass isn't good. No,

736
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: they're terrible. It's been a down year for army. It's

737
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: been up and down. I guess suppose for for liberty

738
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: BYU started really encouraging to beat Tennessee and USC. Notre

739
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: Dame obviously the class of the independence New Mexico status

740
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: had a rough go. I don't know if you have

741
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 1: strong thoughts there.

742
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 2: No, My thoughts are pretty confined to Notre Dame. But

743
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 2: I don't I don't want to bore people with those.

744
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 1: Now, hold on, let's do a little Notre Dame check in.

745
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 1: Oh boy, let's do a little Irish check in. Okay,

746
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 1: So what do you want to know? Have they improved

747
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: over the course of the season. Are there position groups

748
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,320
Speaker 1: that you're encouraged by. Is there something that you field

749
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: dramatically is wrong with this team that needs to be

750
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: addressed post haste. What are your most dramatic thoughts about

751
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. It's been a pretty good stretch for them recently,

752
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: It's been a pretty good stretch for them. I would say,

753
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: on the whole, if they finished ten and two, look,

754
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good year. And I think it would

755
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: be quite frankly unrealistic to expect that they would be

756
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: twelve and zero. Again, I just went over Virginia Tech.

757
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 1: Looks better. It looks better. But I'll go back to

758
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: what I said at the beginning of the year. And

759
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: you know, we can cut Stanford out now because Stanford

760
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: really isn't where Stanford has been in recent memory. But

761
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: I said at the start of the year that I

762
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,720
Speaker 1: thought the season was going to run through three games,

763
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: and that was going to be game at Athens, game

764
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:53,720
Speaker 1: in ann Arbor, and too Palo Alto, which will strike

765
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: from the record here.

766
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 2: But I wasn't wrong about that. This wasn't any advanced prognostication.

767
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 2: Everyone was kind of in the same boat when it

768
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 2: came to Notre Dame Ian Book. Ian Book, to me,

769
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 2: has been for the most part solid. I think what

770
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 2: I find discouraging about ian Book this year has been

771
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:17,919
Speaker 2: the limitations in his game. Being so it's mostly been

772
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 2: on his shoulder to try and move this offense forward.

773
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,720
Speaker 2: He hasn't had that complimentary running game. We have seen

774
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 2: the limitations.

775
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: They are there.

776
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 2: You know that there are limitations with the ian books game.

777
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 2: Good quarterback obviously can get it done with both the

778
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 2: arm and the legs. But there are limitations in his game,

779
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 2: and so that part I think has been disappointing. I

780
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 2: was hoping for more of a step forward. Can you

781
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 2: love him for who he is instead of who he

782
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 2: Isn't sure?

783
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: Okay? Sure?

784
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 2: I mean he's a gritty competitor, and Notre Dame is

785
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 2: still better off with him, I think than they are

786
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,839
Speaker 2: without him. For as fun as it is to think

787
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 2: about Phil djer Kovic his wonky delivery, I still think

788
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 2: ian Book is the best. What is wonky about his delivery?

789
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: Oh? Go on YouTube? Is he like Rick Anghel? It's

790
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 1: more like young Young Kim. I'll say, Oh, he's side

791
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 1: arms kind of whoa. Just call on YouTube and find it.

792
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 1: While we're while we're not a shot putty thing though,

793
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: it's not no no, no, no no, it's not It's not

794
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:23,760
Speaker 1: a Bryant Moones.

795
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 2: It's it's more of a young young Kim. Go on

796
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 2: YouTube and check it out.

797
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 1: Nowhere else can you get these types of This is

798
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: hard hitting and cutting of analysis.

799
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 2: So the book thing to me has been up and down,

800
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 2: but you know, I'm okay with it by now. I've

801
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 2: accepted it. The running game, I was hoping that there

802
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 2: would be more of a leap forward in the running

803
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 2: game that has not been there.

804
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:49,439
Speaker 1: So that picture concern as as to why Notre Dame

805
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: is squarely not able to find and develop quarterbacks like

806
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: other powers are able to.

807
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 2: That that is the big picture concern. So what yeah,

808
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 2: what that is the concern.

809
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 1: There should be a guy who is willing to go

810
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: to Notre Dame and a coach who is able to

811
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: develop him because I think, right second year Kaiser, there's

812
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys who are like, all right, but

813
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: there's nobody at Notre Dame. Don't. I don't know who

814
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: the last dude, like capital D dude is at quarterback

815
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 1: for Notre Dame. To you, you know even is it

816
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,720
Speaker 1: Jimmy Clausen putting up big numbers on an only okay team.

817
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: I don't know who it is. Maybe Kaiser, I don't know.

818
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: It's a hardiser. It's a hard question. It's a hard question.

819
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: Like if you look through every position group over the

820
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: last ten years, Let's say like Notre Dame can't find

821
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: a Tanner Morgan who is like lighter recruited but can

822
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: develop into something pretty impressive.

823
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 2: First off, it's been rare that they've had a starter

824
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 2: for multiple seasons, consecutive seasons, and secondly, doesn't feel like

825
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 2: any of them have developed. But really, seriously, dan, across

826
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 2: the board running back, there have been flashes of brilliance.

827
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 2: They've had some good running backs.

828
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 1: Definitely.

829
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 2: Receiver has been a huge success story, as has tight end.

830
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:12,760
Speaker 2: They've had some really high level talent offensive line. Offensive

831
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 2: line has been a huge success story. Right defensive line, linebacker, safety,

832
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:20,240
Speaker 2: and secondary getting better?

833
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: It got better. Did you freak out if you had

834
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 1: a Keytenslova situation? What I freak out? We have a

835
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: really prompt, like in a good way, like, wow, we

836
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: have a really promising true freshman quarterback who is showing

837
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: out and putting up big numbers going downfield and looks confident.

838
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 2: I wouldn't freak out. I would, unfortunately, be very insecure

839
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 2: about that.

840
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: Huge waves for the other shoe to drop. I'd be

841
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: very insecure.

842
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 2: About that situation. It's not all that dissimilar from what

843
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 2: we saw with the Shan Kaiser. Sean Kaiser comes in

844
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 2: after his remember Zaia broke his foot or whatever it

845
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 2: was on the road of Virginia. Notre Dame's basically going

846
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,839
Speaker 2: to lose that game if not for the Shaun Kais

847
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 2: are coming in and hooking up with Will Fuller, and

848
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 2: he continued that momentum through the season. Notre Dame had

849
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 2: an incredible year.

850
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 1: Kaiser.

851
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 2: I maybe got a little better than next year, but

852
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 2: it wasn't so much so that he was a consensus

853
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 2: first round NFL talent. That's what people were saying when

854
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 2: he came in, big kid, big arm, good decision maker.

855
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 2: It just didn't materialize. So unfortunately, if Notre Dame had

856
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 2: the Keaton Slova situation, I don't think I'd be very

857
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 2: confident that it's something sustainable from year one to year two.

858
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: Would you be more excited with current or even recent

859
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the state of Indiana. Would you be more

860
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: excited to have Peyton Ramsey as your quarterback? No? Would

861
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: you be more excited to have like David blough No

862
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 1: from Perdue than he and Book? Okay, No, I'm trying

863
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 1: to get a sense.

864
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 2: I think I think Ian Book's a very good college quarterback. Okay,

865
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 2: he's a very good college quarterback. And it's around that

866
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 2: time of year when people start looking forward and I've

867
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 2: seen a couple and I get it. I get that

868
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 2: people have to say it. But when I read an

869
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 2: article and people say Ian Book will probably be back

870
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 2: for his senior year, he ain't going pro. This is

871
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 2: not a pro talent, all right. He is going pro

872
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 2: someday in something other than sports, and that's fine. But

873
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 2: Ian Book will be.

874
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: Back for his final season. Can I give you two

875
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: more names? Please? Rock Party, I would love Rockberty. Oh,

876
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel. No, I'll still take Ian Book. WHOA, I

877
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 1: don't know about that. I think I'd probably take Dylan Gabriel.

878
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: I feel like books. Book's tougher. He's bigger. He is

879
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: not much bigger, but just about everybody else is bigger.

880
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: He may have a stronger arm than Dylan Gabriel too. Okay,

881
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,399
Speaker 1: can we do the this week seefaring School of the Week.

882
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: I would love to. Okay, save the music, my guy,

883
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 1: I got to read it. You got the music ready.

884
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: Let's shine a spotlight on the Barry Vikings hit the

885
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: music nine and one in the Southern Athletic Association the

886
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 1: SAA TIE SAH SAH located in Rome, Georgie, about seventy

887
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: two miles northwest of Atlanta, Rome, Georgia. I should mention

888
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: the hometown of one Will must Champ and Dan Reeves,

889
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 1: who is success adjacent. There's a better way to describe

890
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: Dan Reeves's career. John Pemberton, inventor of Coca Cola and

891
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: Navy Admiral John H. Towers. Maybe Admiral I'm tying it

892
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: all back. He flew the Navy's first sea plane, A

893
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 1: Curtis A one. Wow. Navy Admiral John H. Towers. The

894
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: Berry College campus TIE has hosted film projects including Remember

895
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: the Titans, Wow, and Sweet Home Alabama Suck at Alabama.

896
00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: You could not have a film location for a movie

897
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: with your states title in it the way that Georgia could,

898
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: I assume because of tax breaks that's right. The Barry

899
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: Vikings are nine and one. They lost last year in

900
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 1: the second round of the D three playoffs to eventual

901
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 1: D three champion Mary Hardin Baylor, which, yes, is related

902
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 1: to Baylor. It was the women's college that eventually became

903
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: co ed, so it's still a small college, but the

904
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,359
Speaker 1: co ed version then I think became Baylor. I got

905
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:27,320
Speaker 1: it somewhat right there. They're only lost this year is

906
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 1: to Birmingham Southern Mason Kinsey, terrific receiver for the Barry Vikings.

907
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 1: They are second in scoring in the SAA thanks to

908
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 1: also a dominant rushing attack, and they lead the SAH

909
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:43,720
Speaker 1: in takeaways. So your bearing Vikings are the solid, verbal

910
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 1: and safe Farings. I love it, Dan. Yeah, that's a

911
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 1: little spotlight for your awesome. Is that all we got?

912
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 1: That's all I have, Tai. That is I am plumb

913
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 1: out of college football talking points. Just a relaxing to

914
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: his cruise this week. Huh was it?

915
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 2: Right until the point we started talking TCU and Notre Dame.

916
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:06,760
Speaker 2: I was really enjoying myself.

917
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: Thank you. Do you think you would last on a

918
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 1: deadliest catch type situation? Last? I would if you were

919
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 1: assigned a very specific role, and you're like, all you

920
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 1: have to do is yank on this rope for this

921
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: to happen. But you got to be out there with

922
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,840
Speaker 1: us for I don't know how long they're out there, weeks, days,

923
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:29,799
Speaker 1: whatever it is. Do you think mentally and physically you

924
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:33,320
Speaker 1: could hold up. I could probably hold up mentally, I

925
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: don't know about physically. Oh other way for me. Yeah,

926
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: By the way, and when I say other way, I

927
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 1: mean both mentally and physically, I'm out. That seems very difficult.

928
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: It seems extraordinarily difficult. I'm always wondering how much inside

929
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:52,439
Speaker 1: time they get because they have a lot of outside time.

930
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 2: Definitely more than it looks on the show. Right, Oh that.

931
00:50:58,239 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 1: I watch that and I think about how long I

932
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 1: could last doing it, and I think max day and

933
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:06,359
Speaker 1: a half, two days. Really you think you could make

934
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 1: it a full week out there? Five days? Oh? Man?

935
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:16,880
Speaker 1: Nine days. It's the lack of sleep, all the cracks. Well,

936
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: I could deal with lack of sleep, but really, man,

937
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would probably be swept away into

938
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:30,800
Speaker 1: the bearing sea. You'd be like, well you would you

939
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: would come up at the end of an episode. This

940
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:37,280
Speaker 1: episode is dedicated to title Fred. Yeah, the sea has them,

941
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 1: the sea has me.

942
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 2: Se would probably throw me around pretty good. It's a

943
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 2: rough Yeah.

944
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 1: I could not last. I just I couldn't.

945
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 2: I think I'd probably die of fear dealing with some

946
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 2: of the waves out there.

947
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 1: That would kill me. I would make I think for

948
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 1: a good grizzled veteran.

949
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you could probably grow a really good dead

950
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 2: is catch beard like George Clooney in Perfect Storm Maze.

951
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:05,399
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't think I can knew that. I don't

952
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 1: know enough coverage upper lip now, but I think i'd

953
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: be very good weaving tails in a bar near the

954
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 1: ocean after the fact.

955
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 2: Just like that storyteller capacity. You'd be the pr guy.

956
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:19,879
Speaker 2: That's that's right.

957
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 1: I would like oh ninety two, oh my god, lucky

958
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 1: to be here. Yeah, I'd be very good at that.
