1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal hell that for me, I'm

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: a man, I'm forty. I've heard so many players say, well,

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: I want to be happy. You want to be happy

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: for a day? Edith state is that woof woof? And

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 1: them and tie.

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the solid verbal boys and girls. My

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 2: name is ty Hildebrand, joining me as always over there

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: in beautiful Chicago, Illinois during the day this time as

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: we record on Tuesday afternoon, and the one and only

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: Dan Rubinstein, sir, how are you?

11
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: I'm good? May I say something? Please? Is the floor

12
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: fully mine? The floor is full of yours? So because

13
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: we are recording at at a much more normal human

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: time for our energies and our schedules. Now that you

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: have left the mysterious day job right and more, go

16
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: to verballers dot com. I took a shower before recording.

17
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: I really wanted to give you my best. And as

18
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm preparing to take a shower, I pop my shirt

19
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: off as everybody does to my knowledge, this one does.

20
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: And I'm waiting for the shower to come to temperature.

21
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: I like it above average, warm but not scalding. And

22
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: I'm inspecting my torso because I'm just killing time waiting

23
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: for the shower to get to temp and I look down, as.

24
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: There are so many ways that this could go right now,

25
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: but continue.

26
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm examining the topography. I'm an amateur cartographer here, I'm

27
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: mapping out what I'm seeing.

28
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: Real Rand McNally. And I notice a protruding settle settle

29
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: aggressive silver hair on my sterna my chest hair. I

30
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: don't have a lot of chest hair, but I see

31
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: it's it's really pronounced like I should have seen it sooner.

32
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: The rest is whatever dark brown that normally is. And

33
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: I realized that the inevitable march of time is relentless,

34
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: and these milestones come for us all. I mean, I

35
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: I guess that might be in poor taste as you

36
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,639
Speaker 2: prepare to enter your fifth decade of life.

37
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: But but I said to myself, you know what, why

38
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: why get weighed down by pessimism and buy something like

39
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: that that that's a bad thing, when in fact I

40
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: could turn my energy positive, In fact, I could look

41
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: forward to what's to come. And then I started thinking

42
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: about our show today, and I thought to myself, what

43
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: is it about college football? What does the sport sell

44
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: the most of? What is the product of college football.

45
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: What can we turn positive from this experience? As I

46
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: wait for the temperature to get to my preferred I

47
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: don't know what, maybe like an eighty eight ninety two

48
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: degrees I haven't measured, And I thought to myself, college

49
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: football sells the sweet lady of hope right every year,

50
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, a new coach being the person

51
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: to get your team where it needs to be, or

52
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: new coaches, new coordinators, new assistants, new recruiting lass, newly

53
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: healthy players, a schedule that seems beneficial, there's always that

54
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: hope that uh uh, it's this fall, it's this fall, right,

55
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: And so I wanted to center today's episode as we

56
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: stare down at our previews coming up starting what in

57
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: a couple days.

58
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: From Friday, right now will be our first ACC preview.

59
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: Yes, I want to get out of the blocks as

60
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: the Olympics begin this week with a major bang tie,

61
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: and I want it to be a positive, hopeful bang,

62
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: if that makes sense.

63
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: So many mixed metaphors there, Dan, Where to start but.

64
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: Ompo mountains my mom see sorry.

74
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: talked it all.

00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: Through, did an audio show. It is also available on

76
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 2: video for the premium for Ballers. We also made a

77
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 2: pretty big deal to the fact that we updated our

78
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 2: Patreon tears and we're really excited about steering into this

79
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: community that we've created. Last year was I think a

80
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 2: very successful test case for us. People were excited about it,

81
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 2: they gave us great feedback. We're going to do our

82
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: very best to improve upon that over the coming weeks

83
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: and months. So for ballers dot com is where you

84
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,919

85
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: on here time and again about following us on social

86
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 2: media and all that stuff. But of course, of course,

87
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: as we steer into preview content, we're going to be

88
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 2: doing a lot more on social media as well. So

89
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: fun times ahead here as we get ready for that.

90
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: But yeah, today is a hopeful episode, Dan, Today's we're

91
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 2: trying to steer into the handful of things that I

92
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 2: think you and I wish four for the.

93
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: Coms wish List twenty one wish list. Yeah, I think

94
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: we'll have nine ish total things I signed both of us,

95
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: like four and a half.

96
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, things, I have a hash I have a half

97
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,559
Speaker 2: as well that I'd like to get into. But since

98
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 2: you since you really did make this weird in the

99
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 2: beginning talking about great chest here.

100
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: You've never examined your body and thought to yourself, well,

101
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: not nineteen anymore.

102
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 2: I have more than just one great chest here. Okay, okay,

103
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 2: a little bit older than you, but okay, that's true.

104
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 2: There are men of a certain age who can definitely

105
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 2: relate to that sentiment and fifth decade. I wish it

106
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 2: weren't us, but unfortunately it is. Since you leveled that

107
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: upon us, Dan, why don't you start what is? Give

108
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: us a wish list? Your your first item? What rises

109
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 2: to the top for you? What is?

110
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: By the way, I don't know you want to get

111
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: into news? Do you want to get into news first

112
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: or anything like that. I don't want to talk about

113
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: the rose Rose bul is just going to make me angry. No,

114
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: the rolls. I mean, we have media days happening right now.

115
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: So if you're interested in coach quotes and optimism and hope,

116
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean, media days would be a good place to start.

117
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: I saw Big twelve Kansas had to do virtual last second,

118
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: but sec media days are happening right now. Nothing I

119
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: don't think too crazy has come out about that. Oklahoma

120
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: got a huge commit for next year, so they're just

121
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: stacking five star quarterbacks. Mark Emmert, I'm seeing here two

122
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: point nine million dollars per year, eh, two point nine

123
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: million dollars, which is whatever you're worth, what somebody's willing

124
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: to pay you. But are we willing to come out

125
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: and say he's starting till somebody's willing to pay him that.

126
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how much longer they'll be

127
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: willing to pay him. That's that's the cabin after that

128
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: Supreme Court decision, and Mark Emmert is now like maybe

129
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: the Incitabla shouldn't be as powerful, Like he's starting to

130
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: read the room.

131
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: Mark Emmert's he's he's poking around late at night on

132
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: open doors to see what's out there for him?

133
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I did see Frank Soliz retired Ohio. So

134
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: there's never a really good time to do that with

135
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: recruiting and preps for the preparations for the season. But

136
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: you know, at least getting the interim guy in there

137
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: for a full full fall camp and summer to figure

138
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: things out, it makes sense. So yeah, I mean had

139
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: a lot of success, so I think in terms of

140
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: news that's worthwhile. I mean, that's all I have.

141
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: That is the news you can use. Let's go to

142
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: our wish list, Dan, I wish for Mackenzie Milton, Okay,

143
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: very specific, very specific. All of mine are very specific, Okay,

144
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: and this could be because I'm working on my research

145
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: and my content for the Friday show where I'm going

146
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 2: to talk a lot about Florida State.

147
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: That's okay.

148
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: I really sincerely on a wish and a prayer and

149
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: fingers and toes cross. I hope Mackenzie Milton gets back

150
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 2: to his previous form, and I hope he does so.

151
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 2: I hope he gets back to health and dominance in

152
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 2: time for Week two against Jacksonville State, but not Week one.

153
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: It's a notre dame is week one. Week one now

154
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: you want to beat if you're Notre Dame, if you're

155
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: a Notre Dame fan like yourself or the many older

156
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: gentlemen and ladies who love Notre Dame, you want to

157
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: beat Florida State at full power. You want to take

158
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: the best of Florida State and give them just a

159
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: little more. I want Cone to outduel Mackenzie Milton and

160
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: come away from that game saying, man, Notre Dame has

161
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: beat a tough team.

162
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 2: Great Jack Cone out dueling Mackenzie Milton is not a

163
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 2: storyline I had in the back of my mind looking

164
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 2: forward at that game. But you know, the thing with

165
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: Florida State, Florida State has certainly had it's ups and

166
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: downs here over the last couple of seasons, and I'm

167
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 2: not going to say all that stemmed from the quarterback position.

168
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: Some of the uncertainty they've had, and it's just been

169
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: a part of it, right, It's a part of an issue.

170
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: It's not the whole issue. I think. Yeah, quarterback has

171
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: just sort of been underwhelming. Underwhelming. I wouldn't characterize quarterback

172
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: as the biggest issue that has faced Florida State these

173
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: past few years.

174
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 2: But having an electric quarterback having somebody who you can

175
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: trot out there and be confident in and not have

176
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 2: to ask questions about week in and week out. Sure,

177
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 2: that can do a lot for the morale of a program.

178
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 2: That can do a lot for what Mike Norvell was

179
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: trying to do with retooling the program. Recruiting has been sure,

180
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 2: I think optimistic. They've gotten some momentum there. So what

181
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 2: else can you let me rephrase, what better way to

182
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 2: get things really feeling like they're moving in a positive

183
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 2: direction than to take in this transfer who a couple

184
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 2: of seasons ago through for thirty seven touchdowns and over

185
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 2: four thousand yards at UCF. Get him back to his

186
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 2: previous form, have him utilize some of the talent that

187
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 2: you already have on the field in Tallahassee. I can

188
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: see no better, no quicker way to further that momentum

189
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 2: if you are Mike Norvel. So I am hopeful that

190
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: that happens. I'm looking forward to that happening, if only

191
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 2: because it'd be cool to have another excitable quarterback in

192
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: the ACC It'd be exciting to have another tester for

193
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 2: that Clemson defense, a Clempson defense, which by the way,

194
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: gave up a lot of big plays a year ago, Like,

195
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: there's so much that could be gained just from a

196
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 2: broad college football fandom standpoint, to have a really good

197
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 2: quarterback in Tallahassee in the form of Mackenzie Milton. I

198
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 2: really hope he does that in time for Week two.

199
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think just in general, I think quarterback recuperation, rejuvenation, whatever.

200
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 1: Because in that state, in Florida, we have Derek King

201
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 1: trying to come back from his own pretty huge injury.

202
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: It looks like he'll be in pretty good shape leading

203
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 1: what we hope to be a decent Miami offense. But yeah,

204
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: between Florida State and Miami, then across the country, we're

205
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: seeing situations where we've had transfers, just like new homes,

206
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: new fresh starts, and we hope because we as we

207
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: look across the landscape, it's not an amazing quarterback year.

208
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: At the top we have Spencer Ratler and Sam Howell,

209
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,719
Speaker 1: of course Keaton Slovas at USC but a lot of

210
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: quarterback questions across the country. So if Mackenzie Milton is

211
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: able to be an answer and become one of those

212
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: top twelve eighteen quarterbacks in the country, certainly a huge win.

213
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: For Florida State, but a win for the ACC, a

214
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: win for you know, national quarterback conversation. I have something

215
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: very similar to this, but not exactly that. I have

216
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: an unexpected unit in the ACC emerges and starts just

217
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: gashing teams, laying the lumber whatever, or you know, giving

218
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: us a legit Clemson threat, clombs, clumps and a run it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

219
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: unexpected unit. Yeah, and not Jeff Bezos's rocket ship. We're

220
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: talking about a football thing here. It was very amazing site,

221
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: very phallic. But this is the list of units I

222
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: have that I would love to see e merge. Miami's offense.

223
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: We saw them struggle for long stretches last year against

224
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: some of the better teams or even some of the

225
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: more okay teams. North Carolina's defense, which they've recruited too well,

226
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: but did disappear for stretches as well Pitt's offense, because

227
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: their defense had really nice stretches during that season. But offensively,

228
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: you'd have a really nice game from Kenny Pickett connecting

229
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 1: with Jordan Addison, and then suddenly in they're just not

230
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: running the ball or they're just going these long droughts.

231
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: Pitt's offense Boston College's defense, Florida State's defense. You mentioned Milton.

232
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: You know, we're rooting for the re emergence there, but

233
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: it's really the re emergence of the secondary stopping anybody

234
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: tackling in the open field that's going to actually sway

235
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: Florida State's season in a bigger way. Louisville's defense was

236
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: a nightmare, and NC State's offense, of course, dealing with

237
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: quarterback issues last year. But I feel like if one

238
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: of those units is going to take two three steps forward,

239
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a legit Clemson challenger, but

240
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: it gets us well on the way there and the

241
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: conversation of the acc becomes a lot more interesting. Yeah,

242
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: I mean, any.

243
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 2: Of those things happen, I think, at least from the

244
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 2: standpoint of a Clemson challenger, it would have to be

245
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 2: PIT or NC State because perhaps you've looked at the

246
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 2: Clemson schedule. Maybe you haven't. It's seventy second, Oh of course,

247
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 2: seventy second in the nation in terms of strength of schedule,

248
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: and you know it's not necessary. That's fault the Georgia boost.

249
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 2: And that's what the Georgia boost. The Yeah, that's what

250
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: the Georgia boost. It's not necessarily Clemson's fault. It's just

251
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: the way it shakes out this year. The NC State

252
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 2: angle is very interesting to me because NC State brings

253
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 2: back eighteen nineteen starters depending where you look.

254
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: But they all do. They all everybody does.

255
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 2: Everybody does, and that's going to be a recurring theme.

256
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 2: I think Duke has twelve starters back this coming season,

257
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 2: and they're the least experience in the ACC. Okay, so

258
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 2: you know it is going to be a recurring theme

259
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: all throughout the conference, and we're going to get into

260
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 2: all this and much bunch more. But the NC State

261
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 2: storyline in particular, I might isolate.

262
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: It just to the wolf. I like that You've just

263
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: mega prep for the ACC and you're like, let's steep

264
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: dive State.

265
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 2: I'm not going to do that now. I'm not going

266
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 2: to do that now. I'm not going to do that

267
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 2: that you're so familiar where it's it's it's great. No,

268
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 2: I'm excited about NC State and if Devin Leary, I'll

269
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 2: focus on on Devin Leary. If Devin Leary can stay

270
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: healthy and if he can utilize perhaps the best backfield

271
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 2: in the ACC. He's got good receivers, he's got a

272
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 2: good line. That could be the X factor. And I

273
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 2: believe they play Clemson at NC State. Okay, so outside

274
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 2: of Larry he flashed last year before he got hurt.

275
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 2: Before he got he had the contact tracing thing early,

276
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: broke his leg late, so he was not really part

277
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: of the team. But now Bailey Howkman's gone, it's going

278
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 2: to be all Devon Leary. I don't know if they've

279
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 2: got much behind him, but Devin Leary in particular, I'll

280
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 2: focus on him. I'll save the rest for Friday. But

281
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 2: if he can emerge as I think the good quarterback

282
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: that many of us believe he can be, that could

283
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 2: a very interesting X factor for sure.

284
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bailey Hawkman in that isn't is ops plus out

285
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: of like one hundred is the most average or something?

286
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: Isn't that is it? Am I getting that right? I

287
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: don't know. There are baseball stats where like the average

288
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: replacement level is one hundred and so maybe that that's

289
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: the Bailey Hawkman line. Walley Hawkman lining forward. He was fine,

290
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: he was totally fine. Uh yeah, same page. Agree. Do

291
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: you want me to go snake snake pick? Sure, snake

292
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: pick I'm going to go very specific, just like U

293
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: went specific already did the ACC thing, so I'm going

294
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: to leave the ACC and this is specific and selfish,

295
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: and I don't care. Oregon beats Ohio State is a

296
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: wish list of mine. Now, obviously I'm an Oregon fan,

297
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: a big Oregon fan, and this is something that's quite obvious.

298
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: But okay, I want them to beat Ohio State in

299
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: a very good game. Thirty five thirty two comes down

300
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: to the last drive. Maybe we get a huge stop

301
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: at the goal line, maybe we get a touchdown with

302
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: time expiring. Whatever, it's good for me, it's good for

303
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: the PAC twelve, it's I think it's good for the

304
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: belief that the one percent are vulnerable. And yes, it's

305
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: laughable that I'm saying that Oregon is a scrappy underdog

306
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: compared to the top of the sport financially and otherwise,

307
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: but let me have this. I think I think it

308
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: would be good for the sport. And I say that

309
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: as an Oregon die hard, but to have that kind

310
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: of headline game early, have a dog win when we've

311
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: seen the heavyweights kind of dominate the sport recently, and

312
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: look the last time Ohio State was punched in the

313
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: mouth early in a non conference part of the schedule.

314
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they won a national championship. Now, they

315
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: had the Oklahoma thing and Baker Mayfield planted the flag.

316
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: But when Ohio State was considered to be a national

317
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: championship contender in the way that I think they are

318
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: this year, once again, they did win it when they

319
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: lost a Virginia Tech early on. So that to me

320
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: is a you know, it all rides on the right

321
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: arm of Anthony Brown to me, and what he's able

322
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: to do within that offense and how much control Joe

323
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: Moorehead truly has because it didn't seem like he did

324
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: last year. But the number of pieces around on that offense,

325
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: the returning line defensively big time talent. So I think

326
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: that would be great for the sport. But again, incredibly

327
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: biased narrative.

328
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: Well I have I have something that's actually quite similar,

329
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 2: and what I wrote is that I want some team

330
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: in the Pac twelve to be hot hot late into

331
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 2: the season mm hmm, and not cute hot, not the

332
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 2: kind of hot that, not the kind of right, the

333
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 2: kind of hot that you talk yourself into right, actually

334
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: appeal actually tangible sex appeal. Yeah, and good enough to

335
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 2: beat somebody outside the PAC twelve that glistening sure, And

336
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: I think that plays into your sentiment as well. I'm

337
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 2: not gonna say I'm rooting for Oregon to beat Ohio State.

338
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 2: I'm not really rooting for anything. It wouldn't make life interesting,

339
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 2: especially in these parts.

340
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

341
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 2: But it has been in earn what four or five

342
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 2: years before we had or since, we've had a Pac

343
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 2: twelve team make the playoff, And that was Washington in seventeen.

344
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: Yes, and they did not do anything in September their

345
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: non conference schedule, and again this was scheduled way in advance,

346
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: but they did not make a they didn't have a

347
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: splash win. No, and they played it was their Power

348
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: five opponent that year. And did they play Alabama and

349
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: get bombed. Yeah, but the defense ive quitted itself really well.

350
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: They just didn't have the offense and Jake Browning's shoulder

351
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: was bad and like I understand it, and then it

352
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: was relatively close and then both Scarborough I believe was

353
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: the one who opened it up with the long run.

354
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, you need you need to bring everything. It's

355
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: all hands on deck. If you're gonna play Alabama in

356
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 1: the playoff. They've lost playoff games, but Washington didn't quite

357
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: have the roster. But it's been a while.

358
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 2: It's been a while, it's been a minute, and it

359
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 2: would be I think a really nice story for the

360
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 2: PAC twelve to have that this year. So keep in

361
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 2: mind where the PAC twelve's at. The PAC twelve was

362
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 2: the last to resume play last year, and for all

363
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 2: intents and purposes, look at the stats, last season was

364
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 2: a black hole in the PAC twelve. Doesn't count for anything,

365
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 2: doesn't mean anything. I'm glad that they were able to

366
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 2: get a couple games under their belt, but I am

367
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 2: taking that all with a huge grain of salt.

368
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't really count for me.

369
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 2: And frankly, they've been cannibalizing themselves for the last four

370
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 2: or five years. Now they find themselves in this situation

371
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 2: where they've got the new conference commissioner.

372
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: Again, we don't know they've been cannibalizing. They just haven't

373
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: had a team that's been good enough.

374
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 2: I was trying to give the benefit of the doubt,

375
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: thank you very much. Yeah, now they're in this position

376
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 2: where they've got what's his name, George clavicle, that's what

377
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 2: we call him here on the show. They're again back

378
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 2: to this conversation of how can we make the PAC

379
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 2: twelve more relevant? How can we make the Pac twelve

380
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 2: more of a thing nationally? It would be nice to

381
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 2: have a team in contention, a genuine team in contention.

382
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 2: Oregon seems like the most likely candidate for that.

383
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: Maybe it's USC.

384
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to be USC. Maybe it'll

385
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 2: be USC.

386
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe somebody will surprise us. Quarterback and defense,

387
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: there are a limited number of teams that can say, Yep,

388
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: we've got a really strong quarterback, Yep, we've got a

389
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: really strong defense. I don't know if there are any

390
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,959
Speaker 1: right now in the Pac twelve that can say that definitively.

391
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: I would love for there to be a conversation piece

392
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: out West late into the season, even if they don't

393
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: make the playoff conversation piece that at least moves the

394
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: narrative forward from the PAC twelve perspective. That'd be pretty fun.

395
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: What do you have next?

396
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 2: I wish for one of the other better teams, slash

397
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 2: better offenses in the Big ten East to truly.

398
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: Rise up and be more explosive, because I mean it's

399
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: Ohio State and who right now in terms of explosive offenses.

400
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 2: Actually, if you look at the numbers from last year,

401
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 2: it's Ohio State in Maryland, Okay.

402
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: And Maryland did have some nice Maryland.

403
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 2: Led the nation in terms of marginal explosiveness. They won

404
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 2: like two or three games, so they don't really count

405
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: along the lines of what I'm saying here, But.

406
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Minnesota win was also you take it if

407
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: you can get it. I guess you take it if

408
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: you can get it.

409
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm talking specifically about Penn State and Michigan Okay.

410
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 2: I would love for one of those offenses to achieve

411
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 2: its full potential. Neither one did last year. We know

412
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 2: that weird COVID year, Penn State tried to go a

413
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:24,479
Speaker 2: different direction with Kurt Sharaka.

414
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: I don't have the sound handy. I would play rock,

415
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: thank you.

416
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 2: But what was interesting about the Shiraka offense compared to

417
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 2: where Penn State was previously is under Joe moorehead and

418
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 2: Ricky Ronnie there was a lot more uptempo stuff. Kirk

419
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,239
Speaker 2: Sharaka slowed it down, slowed it down a little bit,

420
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 2: and Sean Clifford has not materialized.

421
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: Maybe he will this year.

422
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 2: I'm not hopeful, but we can talk about that next

423
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 2: week when we get the Big Ten previews. Mike Yersich

424
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 2: is I think the guy they wanted all along, now

425
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 2: they got him. He is nothing if not a machine

426
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 2: for turning offenses into forty points per game. Yeah, mentioned that,

427
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 2: So I feel very optimistic that Penn State can get

428
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 2: there with him at the helms PA guy. Not that

429
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,239
Speaker 2: that matters is that this year though, I don't know.

430
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 2: I don't know, And that's why this is I wish.

431
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 2: You're hopeful. That's why this is going to wish as

432
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 2: opposed to more of a certainty, because it feels very confident.

433
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: Somebody to throw a haymaker back at Ohio State in

434
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: that division offensive I do. I do.

435
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 2: I think your sitill eventually get there. I don't know

436
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 2: how long he stays at Penn State.

437
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: Who knows.

438
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 2: He's moved around a bunch mm hmmm. I do feel

439
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 2: like he will get there if he is given enough

440
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 2: opportunity to do so, but I don't know if it's

441
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 2: this year. And that's why it's a wish, because Penn

442
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 2: State in the there I call it Hey today of

443
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 2: Joe moorehead and Trace McSorley and and some of the

444
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 2: dynamic playmakers they had out why that was a lot

445
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 2: of fun to watch. That was a ton of fun

446
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 2: to watch, and it'd be good to have that component

447
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 2: elsewhere in the Big Ten East outside of Columbus. Columbus

448
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: will have it this year. There is uncertain about their

449
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 2: quarterback situation, but we know there is an uncertainty out

450
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 2: wide because they probably have the two best receivers in

451
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 2: college football.

452
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and probably the two best you know, the tackle

453
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: duo in college football. Yeah, so I remember Bama. Yeah.

454
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 2: I just want there to be another offense in the

455
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 2: Big Ten East that is excitable, that plays with pace,

456
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 2: that can score explosively and on a moment's notice. And

457
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 2: I hope it's Penn State or Michigan.

458
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: It would be nice to rank rank for me the

459
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 1: offensive explosion like leihood offenses in the Big Ten East.

460
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: If Penn State is at the top, or maybe this

461
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: is just your wish list of who you most wish

462
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: and then next after that, what is your wish list

463
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: of offensive explosion in the Big Ten East. Well, wish

464
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: list is different than a projection, right, okay, because again

465
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: last year, Maryland was very good at that. I'm not

466
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: going to put Maryland at the top of my list.

467
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: My wish list, selfishly speaking, would be Penn State, will

468
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: be Penn State or Michigan one of those two.

469
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 2: I think both of those squads have the talent that

470
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 2: you would need to rise up and really at you know,

471
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 2: if the wind blows in the right direction, maybe give

472
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 2: Ohio State a game. Indiana is interesting. I like Indiana,

473
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 2: Uh huh. They would probably be next on that list,

474
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 2: follow by Michigan State and Maryland and Rutgers in that order.

475
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: My number one pure wishless Big Ten East after Ohio State,

476
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 1: is Michigan State, because I don't know what their fans

477
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: would do watching explosive fun offense, like what do I

478
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: do with my hands? What do I do? This is

479
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: weird to watch. I don't know how to react. Good

480
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: back to me is my wish that Michigan State fans

481
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: suddenly have a creative explosive I don't necessarily think it'll happen,

482
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: but maybe eventually it does, and I would just be

483
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: happy for them to experience because even the best of

484
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: Michigan State, I think the twenty fourteen had a really

485
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: efficient scoring offense. Whatever the the Connor Cook, there was

486
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: some year where they were just they scored a bunch often.

487
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: It wasn't you know, it was pretty straightforward. If they

488
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: were to have that, I would be happier for them

489
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: than I would be for Penn State or Michigan or

490
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: Indiana or whoever, just because it's such a novelty. All right,

491
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: where are we going next? My next wish is it's

492
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 1: it's I guess it's more of a national wish. It

493
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: could happen anywhere. But what I have down here is

494
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: the top HALFISH doesn't have to be the top half,

495
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: but half ISH of a conference beats the hell out

496
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: of each other in crazy entertaining fashion every week, giving

497
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 1: us a fun alternative to playoff talk. Almost like we're

498
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: looking at a season within a season and you know,

499
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: maybe it's teams within the SEC and we get a

500
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: bunch of shootouts. Unlikely, but we get a bunch of

501
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: fun games where we don't fully know who's better than who,

502
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 1: And that to me is interesting. If you know LS

503
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: who's you know, both sides, I guess really if LS

504
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: Who's offense in particular gets back to seventy eight percent

505
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: eighty two percent of where they were a couple of

506
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: years ago, and they've got a couple of really interesting

507
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: quarterback options. If Arkansas takes another step forward, if miss

508
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: gets a little bit better on defense, they become interesting.

509
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: If Mississippi State looks like late season Mississippi State. There's

510
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: all these ifs, of course, but even out west, I

511
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: just want somebody to have six to eight teams where

512
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: maybe it's not quite as pronounced as the twenty eight

513
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,479
Speaker 1: Big twelve where we had that three way tie at

514
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: the top, but you're just like, man, I don't know,

515
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: this could go in whatever direction, and it's going to

516
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: be entertaining in the process. It's not going to be

517
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: fifteen thirteen. We're going to get some sort of like

518
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 1: exchange of leads that makes these games fun. And so

519
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: that's what I'm hoping for. Could be Big ten, could

520
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 1: be Big twelve, could be Pack twelve. And that sort

521
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 1: of rides in conjunction with I don't want walkover teams

522
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: this year. I don't want Kansas to be Kansas. I

523
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: don't want Vandy to be Vandy. And I understand we're

524
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: talking about first year coaches and we have to be

525
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: patient starting all over again. But where Rutgers was, where

526
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: Arizona was last year losing by sixty points in a

527
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: rivalry game. I just I want, in conjunction, the top

528
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: half of a conference to be unpredictable and competent, high level,

529
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: and I want there to be no walkovers within the conference.

530
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: I want everybody to at least make your all feisty

531
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: team aloe everybody. I want to rope everybody in to

532
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: just they've got they've got an out pitch, they've got

533
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: something in the tank that scares everybody even a little bit.

534
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: And so if we get no walkovers and teams at

535
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,719
Speaker 1: the top, just and maybe it's not the team at

536
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: the top, but it's everybody else looking like okay, they're

537
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: just they're beating each other up and the TV is

538
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: too good to ignore within that conference. That's what I'm

539
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: hopeful for.

540
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 2: So am I to believe then that you are focused

541
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 2: mainly in the SEC here because you called out a

542
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 2: bunch of SEC teams.

543
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: I'd like that to be the case, but I'm okay

544
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: with it in any conference. I truly am like if

545
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: Max Duggan takes a really nice step forward, as does

546
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: Spencer Sanders, the Big Twelve becomes seventy percent more entertaining

547
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: and worthwhile. Right, Yeah, because we sure we know certain

548
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: things about Iowa State and Oklahoma at this point. We

549
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 1: know that their competence level is above everybody else's. We know,

550
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: even if Texas is inconsistent, if they can beat anybody

551
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: in any given week, the Big Twelve is better. Same

552
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: goes for TCU. If Baylor's offense takes a really nice

553
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: step forward, the Big Twelve has generally been pretty good

554
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: about this. Kansas State has always been a threat to everybody,

555
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: but some of those teams that have had those especially

556
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: offensive deficiencies. You know, West Virginia is due. We hope

557
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: to take a nice step forward. I just want the

558
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: anything can happen narrative within conferences to overtake some of

559
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: the national stuff that we keep recycling at the top.

560
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: That's all I want.

561
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 2: What do you think the likelihood is if we go

562
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 2: around the power five conferences of this actually happening? The

563
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 2: SEC I think is a good example. I don't know

564
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 2: the likelihood of it. We can talk say specifically, there

565
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 2: are really good teams at the top. You've got Alabama,

566
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 2: You've got Georgia. You've got a whole host of other

567
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 2: teams that I think on any given day could could.

568
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 2: I mean, who knows what to There's an entertainment case

569
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 2: for a number of teams. It's probably more in the

570
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 2: West right now, just because we're dealing with New South

571
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 2: Carolina coach, you know, Georgia and Florida. There's there's easy cells.

572
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: Hey, Lshu, LSU.

573
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 2: You could make a case for LSU having an incredible

574
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 2: season or a terrible season, depending on you know, howactimistic

575
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 2: you are. So I think the SEC for sure falls

576
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 2: into that category. I don't see the same potential necessarily

577
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 2: in what I would characterize as the top half of

578
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 2: say the ACC, but in the.

579
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: Top outlined I outlined what I want to happen there.

580
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: My hope for the top half of the ACC. I

581
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: understand that.

582
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 2: But my point is, if you go one rung below Clemson,

583
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 2: the competition to be in the top half of the

584
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 2: ACC sands Clemson is going to.

585
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: Be real interesting at all.

586
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, very interesting. The Big twelve has a

587
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 2: long storied hish of cannibalizing itself great, especially in the

588
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 2: top half, so it's doable. The PAC twelve and the

589
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 2: Big Ten. You know, you could tell me. I think

590
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 2: the PAC twelve is very much ripe for that college.

591
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, the entertainment case throughout the conference is pretty high.

592
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,719
Speaker 1: I just don't want those walkover team or teams whatever

593
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: within the conference and the SEC. Like here, here are

594
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: the full list of teams that I don't think is

595
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: a terribly difficult entertainment cell. Okay, Florida, Georgia, Missou, and

596
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: the East. I'm sorry, Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina, Andy. I

597
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: just I want to see more on offense from all

598
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: of those teams, basically Alabama A and M Auburn. Well,

599
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: the Auburn entertainment case is very tough right now. So

600
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: I'll say Alabama A and M lsu Ole, miss Arkansas,

601
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: Mississippi State, and I guess Arkansas excuse me, Auburn is

602
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: wait and see. But there's a whole host of teams

603
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: after Bama, and after Georgia and probably after Florida where

604
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: you're saying, I can see how they'd be entertaining week

605
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: to week, even if they're not fully scary. I can

606
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: see how they'd be entertaining watches, and that'd be wonderful

607
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: all right, let me go to my next wish here. Yes,

608
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: I wish for Texas. Oh god, because I'm now a

609
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: Texas Home Slice. Yeah, I wish for Texas. That's an

610
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: actual pizza place in Austin, really Texas Home Slice.

611
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 2: It's pretty good. It's pretty good. Not the best in town,

612
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 2: but it's pretty good. I wish for Texas. I wish

613
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 2: for Steve Sarkisian to actually harness the power of.

614
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: One Bejeon Robinson. That's a good answer. I have something

615
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: similar in my halfish continue. I do not care if

616
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: they win three games. Texas fans don't care.

617
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 2: I don't care. Just freaking use a running back, Okay,

618
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 2: just I for as fun as Sam Ellinger was, oh yeah,

619
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 2: for as much of a gunslinger and how he played

620
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 2: with with grit and determination, and he was truly a

621
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 2: great face of that program at all time beck Meyer QB. Yeah,

622
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 2: an all time beck Meyer Beckmeyer syndrome. For as much

623
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 2: as I enjoyed Sam Ellinger and gave him benefit of

624
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 2: the doubt, just freaking use Bshon Robinson.

625
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I do not want to.

626
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 2: Look at a stat recap at the end of this

627
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 2: season and see another year like the one that we

628
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 2: saw where again it's a quarterback leading and rushing attempts

629
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 2: even two years ago. Even two years ago, Kyante Ingram

630
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 2: only led by fifteen carries over sam Ellinger fifteen carries

631
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,719
Speaker 2: and I believe six yards over sam Ellinger and Kanta

632
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 2: Ingram had finished the twenty nineteen season pretty impressively, so

633
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 2: pretty like they weren't try but he had injuries and

634
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 2: then you had Roshan Johnson. Yeah, I understand. Just use

635
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 2: the running back and I have faith that Steve Sarcusan

636
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 2: is going to be able to do that right, and

637
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 2: I understand that sam Ellinger gave them something. He gave

638
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 2: them physical tools that were it was an X factor

639
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 2: for sure. Use Jon Robinson, please, because every preview magazine,

640
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 2: every Preview website, every Texas thing that I look at,

641
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 2: the Texas wishes that I read about, all feature Bijon Robinson. Yeah,

642
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 2: it'd be nice to have something more of an offensive

643
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 2: identity that runs through Bejon Robinson, because he very clearly

644
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 2: in my book, is the best offensive talent that they have.

645
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I'm sure the narrative that you've come

646
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: across is can Steve's Arkesian do for Bijon Robinson what

647
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: he did for Najie Harris. We're going to talk too

648
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: after the break. I just look on my half list. Sorry, continue,

649
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: and I know.

650
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 2: That's old hat and I'm not trying to give kind

651
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 2: of the hackneyed, overused down. So it's fine. This is

652
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 2: your wish list. I want to see it. Yeah, I

653
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 2: don't give what the narrat. I want to see it.

654
00:33:59,520 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: Personally.

655
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 2: I want to see it because I think that would

656
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 2: make our lives more interesting as college football fans. So

657
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 2: please Sarkisian if you're listening. He's not listening, but if

658
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 2: you are, if it gets back to you the way

659
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 2: our Kirkshirock is sound, maybe got back to Kirkshruck.

660
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: Just pay. If you're listening, Steve Sarkisian, please drop a

661
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 1: note to Burnt Orange Boy b o I at gmail

662
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: dot com. That's ties Burner, but maybe not maybe now

663
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: an orange boy e use. I actually have in my

664
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: half list that I was going to rattle off, which

665
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: I'll still rattle off at the end of this, but

666
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: I have an all purpose freakazoid emerges. I'll uh, you know, McCaffrey, Tavon, Austin, whoever,

667
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: that's somebody that is returning kick somebody that's you know,

668
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: split out wide Reggie Bush and the way he was

669
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 1: with usc uh, somebody like that. And b Jon Robinson

670
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: has shown both out of the backfield, I see a

671
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: receiver and a running option. He's has huge potential.

672
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 2: Unpacked the Freakazoid a little bit because we already do

673
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 2: the dude alerts, yeah, and the Dude of the Week

674
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 2: and that sort of thing. So what is the difference

675
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 2: between a Freakazoid. Because I'll make a sound for this

676
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 2: now I have the time. Was there not a cartoon

677
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 2: called Freakazoid.

678
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm looking it up.

679
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 2: Talk to me about the difference between the dude and

680
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 2: the Freakazoid. I feel like they are from a different genus.

681
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: Freakazoid produced by Steven Spielberg. It was I think in

682
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 1: the Tiny Toon Adventure cinematic universe. Okay, very specific Freakazoid,

683
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: but the adventures of the title character Freakazoid are crazy

684
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: superhero who battles with an array of super villains. I

685
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: don't know if it was good. It look I mean,

686
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: the Freakazoid looks like a freakazoid. Ed Asner was a voice.

687
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: Craig Ferguson was a voice. Okay, so that's where I

688
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: got that from. Anyway, the difference between a dude and

689
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 1: a freakazoid is a dude generally does his job exceptionally well.

690
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: A freakazoid does many jobs exceptionally well. So a freakazoid

691
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: is an all purpose dude, Mike as I make this

692
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: up on the spot, right, Okay, So would someone that's

693
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: that's a rattle off one for me, that's not an

694
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: official one.

695
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 2: Would someone like a Kyle Hamilton potentially be both a

696
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 2: dude and a freakazoid. Because for as much as the

697
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 2: defensive leadership at Notre Dame is not interested in Kyle

698
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 2: Hamilton playing both ways, there been plenty of people talking

699
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 2: on the Notre Dame boards about maybe he could play

700
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:33,919
Speaker 2: a little receiver this year.

701
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: My god, does.

702
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 2: That rise to freakazoid territory?

703
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: If he plays receiver? Sure? If he returns ponds, sure,

704
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not unheard of a safety stepping in

705
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: from some special teams, return teams whatever. I'm going to

706
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 1: repurpose our Laquantosaurus rex sound for freakazoid this year. I'm

707
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: sure there's an actual theme song though for Freakazoid that

708
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: we could all Okay, we're gonna you can find that. Yeah, yeah,

709
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: So that's my related Bejeon Robinson because he's absolutely a

710
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 1: candidate to emerge as a twenty twenty one freakazoid. What

711
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: else do you got? So I have we get a

712
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: new coastal, a new coastal Carolina in addition to current

713
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: coastal Carolina. Somebody creative and they don't have to be creative,

714
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,240
Speaker 1: but in some way fun. And I want them beating

715
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: or upsetting the good teams on their schedule, especially early on,

716
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: to launch themselves into a lightning in the bottle type season.

717
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: And I have some candidates and I have their opponents

718
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: early on. Okay you would indulge me, please, no, go

719
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: for it. So the one who could actually have the

720
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: most or the two that could have the most pronounced

721
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: impacts to me. Both in the MAC Western Michigan and

722
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 1: Kent State both have quarterbacks, both have interesting coaches, and

723
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: both have two not insignificant Power five teams on their schedule.

724
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 1: Western Michigan has Michigan and Pitt Kent State has Texas

725
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: A and m in Iowa. If both or one of

726
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: those teams even splits even splits those, which is asking

727
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,479
Speaker 1: a ton That's pretty magical to me. I have app

728
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: State has Miami, Louisiana has Texas, which for whatever reason,

729
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: you're just penciling in for Texas. We've got Fresno State

730
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: with Oregon Nevada and Carson strong and two really strong receivers.

731
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: No pun intended with cal Hawaii has UCLA, San Jose

732
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: State with usc FAU which I'm still you know, I

733
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: think Willie Taggert at the group of five level can

734
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: be pretty frisky. They have Florida. Marshall has nobody, so

735
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: that doesn't fully fit in, but Marshall's promising. I'm a

736
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: new coach, so we'll see. Uabs Georgia Tulsa, who is

737
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,479
Speaker 1: very quietly, very very good last year, has Oklahoma State.

738
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: UCF has Louisville, but I think if they lost to

739
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: Louisville that would be kind of enough set that'd be

740
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 1: a problem. We'll see. It's Gus Melson's first season, and

741
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: of course SMU has the Iron Skillet game with TCU.

742
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: So in terms of promising teams that could launch themselves

743
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 1: into in season and it's not like Coastal had my

744
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: memory serves an interesting Power five opponent early on that

745
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,240
Speaker 1: they upset to launch themselves into their sort of magical

746
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. But on that same note, I think any

747
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: of these teams has they have pieces, and now they

748
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to take advantage of a stage to

749
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: launch themselves. That's a wish of mine that one or

750
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: a few of those teams just you know, throw, they

751
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: just land a punch really early on that gets everybody's attention.

752
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 1: Land a punch. Yeah, I do like that boxing baseball.

753
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 1: I have all of the analogies.

754
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 2: I believe if I saw correctly that Coastal Caroline, Coastal

755
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 2: Carolina may have the second easiest schedule in all of

756
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 2: the FBS this year. So okay for all into and

757
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 2: I don't care, and I really don't. I'm excited to

758
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 2: watch Coastal's follow up campaign. But you know, Coastal could

759
00:39:55,680 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 2: itself be launched into that conversation just by ver to

760
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 2: beating everyone on its.

761
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: Scheduled this year. Yeah, I mean, but they're not. They're

762
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 1: not going to emerge. They're not going to emerge. Wells

763
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: a known quantity. Grayson McCall, the intern he's emerged, and

764
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking right now one school I left off, But

765
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: I really do like Malik Willis. I don't believe Liberty

766
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: beyond Syracuse, which could be truly bad. They don't have

767
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: a headline or Power five team on their schedule. They

768
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: have all Miss never mind Liberty, Ole, Miss, Matt Corral,

769
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: Malik Willis. That's November, so it's not really launching at

770
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: that point. It's they are what they are. But that

771
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 1: would be an addition to the list. Okay, what else,

772
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: you guy? I think that's all of them. Oregon beating

773
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: Ohio state units emerging sounds dirty. Then intended a new

774
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 1: coastal and a top half ish of a conference establishing

775
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: themselves as the premium entertainment product of the sport. My

776
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: half wish, and then I'll rattle my have Yeah, I

777
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,959
Speaker 1: have one half wish here, and it's sort of tongue

778
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 1: in cheek and sort of eleven eleven of course, but

779
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: my my half wish, my snarky wish. Again, this is

780
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 1: going to be focused on the ACC because I've been

781
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: going a lot through the ACC. Dang.

782
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 2: Okay, But one interesting factoid that I'm sure we will

783
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 2: discuss when we do our a sec preview is the

784
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 2: fact that.

785
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: Dj interest Tom Hammond.

786
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 2: It would definitely interest Tom Hammond. Their new starting quarterback,

787
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:35,720
Speaker 2: dj ud dj Uyangalle. Oh, you nailed it Big Sinco

788
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 2: as it were?

789
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

790
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,399
Speaker 2: Oh, hold on? Are we calling him Big Sinco? They're

791
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 2: calling him Big Sinco? Oh?

792
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 1: Is that true? Is that already a nickname?

793
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 2: He's two hundred and fifty pounds, they're calling him Big Sinco.

794
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 2: Big Sinco is pretty good, and I believe it's Big

795
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 2: sink of Sinco with a five instead of the sea

796
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 2: and Sinco.

797
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: Oh. I'm not on board with that at all.

798
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 2: I don't like that generally unless it's the eight in like.

799
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,959
Speaker 1: Scaling, it's not of Spanish speaking origin. But I still

800
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: stand by Big Sinko is pretty good.

801
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 2: I want him to be happy and healthy and have

802
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 2: an awesome season. There's also nobody behind him right now

803
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 2: other than a walk on. It's like nobody because their

804
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 2: actual backup got hurt in the spring game, and so

805
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 2: it's it's pretty slim Pickens. Now he's big and bulky

806
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 2: and he'll be able to I think withstand the punishment

807
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 2: of being a starting quarterback, especially behind a really good

808
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 2: offensive line. I think, I think he'll be okay, But

809
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 2: I don't mind it if the questions about quarterback depth

810
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 2: at Clemson linger just long enough to pin Dabbo Sweeney

811
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:43,280
Speaker 2: down on his now infamous policy against transfers. Oh all right, because,

812
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 2: as I think we've come to know over the last

813
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:50,399
Speaker 2: year two years plus, pinning Dabo down and getting him

814
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 2: to defend an opinion on record can sometimes be ridiculous,

815
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 2: can sometimes be fun for us types here in the

816
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 2: content creator world. So I wouldn't hate that. I don't

817
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,800
Speaker 2: wish for injury. I wouldn't hate for that narrative to

818
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 2: just persist and to evolve over the course of the season.

819
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,479
Speaker 2: For one Dabot it did get a little bit dark.

820
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 2: I apologize by the way, I really who did we

821
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 2: do this with recently? Where we're just like, oh, I said,

822
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 2: I hope Tommy DeVito is really good, because the temptation

823
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 2: to say Tommy Defto is going to be two that

824
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 2: it's gonna pull too strongly. Right, So I hope Big

825
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 2: Sinco is great because Big Stinko is right there for

826
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 2: the game day sign makers. It's right there, and I

827
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 2: don't wish that on anybody makes me notice Big Stinko.

828
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 2: I don't want that. Am I a third grader?

829
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,959
Speaker 1: At times? Yes? At times yes, and I steer into

830
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: it and I'm self aware, but I can't have that

831
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 1: because I'm rooting for DJU. What what happens? What happens

832
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: if if Clemson lays a total egg against Georgia and

833
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: game day shows up at a future Clemson game, which

834
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: probably isn't going to be the case, but we are

835
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: going to get see big Stinko signs. And I don't

836
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: want that to be the case, but it is the

837
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: most obvious move if Clemson's quarterback is at all disappointing

838
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: and it's not fair and it's not right, but it's

839
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 1: going to happen. That's all eleven. Please. It's like it's

840
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: like naming a TV show You're the worst, and like

841
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: it better be good because the headlines are going to

842
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: be very easy if it's not a good show, extinct

843
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: and supposedly it was a good show. Continue, Okay, my headlines,

844
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,800
Speaker 1: my wishes that I want to rattle off, my half wishes.

845
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 1: We not only get an emergency quarterback, but we get

846
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: an emergency system. And it works in the way that

847
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: when all of Baylor's quarterbacks got hurt and they were like, ah,

848
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: we're running some sort of weird like single wing. I

849
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:49,280
Speaker 1: will that again, the old Dennis northcut Cleveland Brown's offense. Right, Yes,

850
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 1: I want an emergency system. I want somebody to break

851
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: the glass like Week eleven and have to run an

852
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 1: emergency system. I want thunder snow. Don't know what it is,

853
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 1: but I like in it. Yeah, I mean, is it

854
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: just snow and thunder happening at the same time? Weird environs?

855
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:09,760
Speaker 1: Right right? Okay, that's fun. I want a new playoff team,

856
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: a team that has never appeared in the playoff to

857
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 1: appear in the playoff. Is it Iowa State? Is it Florida?

858
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. Is it Michigan probably not? Is a

859
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: usc could be, I don't know. I want a new

860
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: playoff team. I want this is very specific, a fifty

861
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 1: five plus yard game winning multi doink field goal followed

862
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: by an amazing taunt. Okay, I want to combine good

863
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: doinks and kicker taunts into one half.

864
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 2: Wish the links and taunts could be an interesting album,

865
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 2: could be an interesting.

866
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: Art Say that was a yellow card B sides album.

867
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 1: I want a touchdown score on a double turnover. Somebody

868
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: throws an interception, but then the safety fumbles and an

869
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: offensive line picks it up and rumbles in love a

870
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: good rare double turnover touchdown. I want an alternative cooler

871
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 1: celebration somebody dumping fries or confetti or something that's not

872
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,720
Speaker 1: gatorade or some sort of sports drink on a coach.

873
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: Has that ever happened? Yeah, the Potato Bowl we had

874
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: fries tatable. Yeah, the fries tatable had fries. Yeah, you forget,

875
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: so soon you forget. I want a new kind of

876
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: kick return trick play. So now we've had the team

877
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,280
Speaker 1: trying to camouflage in the end zone. Sometimes it works,

878
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't, it really doesn't. But whatever,

879
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 1: I think those are fascinating. You have like the fake

880
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: reverse or you have the reverse whatever. I want some

881
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: sort of new kickoff special play, trick play touchdown. I

882
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 1: want a new kind of comically failed trick play in

883
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: the way that we had the Arkansas State. I believe

884
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:47,320
Speaker 1: the fake corpse passing out on the fake punt went poorly.

885
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 1: I want everybody running to I don't know, Twitch or

886
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 1: some sort of illegally streamed game because it's only on

887
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 1: some sort of private channel something where it's only on

888
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: the Longhorn Network or only That could be streaming situation.

889
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 2: That could be the future. Plus that could be the

890
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 2: future for your PAC twelve man. If George Clavicle doesn't

891
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:10,240
Speaker 2: come through.

892
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 1: Just twitch illegal illegal streams on twitch twitch, they'll reinstitute

893
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: Jefferson Pilot Sports or something like that. That's true. I

894
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,479
Speaker 1: want a new multipurpose large man, so I guess it'd

895
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: be a large man freakazoid, a lah Christian Wilkins, you know,

896
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: getting in there in goal line situations, special teams, trick

897
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,240
Speaker 1: plays on special teams. I want a new Christian Wilkins.

898
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 1: I believe it was also Christian Wilson Wilkins who did

899
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,800
Speaker 1: the splits after winning a national championship. That would be

900
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: great too. I want a player immediately monetizing a famous moment.

901
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: I want them to do it well, okay, if it's

902
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 1: a kicker. I don't know if it's an offensive lineman

903
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 1: who scoops and scores to win a game. But I

904
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: want somebody to have a moment and then the next

905
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 1: day we see them in like a Jersey Mike's commercial,

906
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: or we see them in like something substantial, like somebody

907
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: really cashes in on a crazy mom. That'd be great,

908
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 1: couldn't Speaking of which, Yeah, couldn't they do the thing

909
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:10,280
Speaker 1: with the winning quarterback or the MVP of the national

910
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: championship where they are now also going to Disney World. Yeah,

911
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:19,280
Speaker 1: but I think it's by individuals, so they so Disney

912
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: World would have to go to a bunch of players

913
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 1: and say, well, if we deem you to be the

914
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 1: guy and you've won, we'll pay you. Okay, it's a

915
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: little trickier. Interesting. And then my final one is I

916
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 1: want up and coming, up and coming coaches to continue

917
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: to return to their school and to continue building and

918
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 1: achieving more and more success, like both Luke Fickle and

919
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: Matt Campbell did last season, and that could surely had

920
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: opportunities and conversations, but they're like, yeah, this is the

921
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: best place for me.

922
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 2: That could be something that we see happen as a

923
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 2: result of an expanded playoff. Potentially that could be one

924
00:48:57,920 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 2: of the pros.

925
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I don't necessarily think I think there's just

926
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: going to be an ego about the amount of money

927
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 1: you can be paid, because I know the term that

928
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: people like to throw around is generational wealth, but it's

929
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: it's an ego thing, right, There's it cannot be And

930
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: I'm not going to speak for coaches, but if you

931
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: are coaching at the group of five level and a

932
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: major Power five program offers you and you feel like

933
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: you'd be a good fit, it's the track record is

934
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: that it's nearly impossible to hold out forever. And the

935
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: track record suggests that sometimes coaches who do hold out

936
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 1: lose a window right to take advantage of those opportunities.

937
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: It's like trying to play a stock market, right, It's

938
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of that. And so we also don't

939
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 1: know the financial situations of these coaches, and you know,

940
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: sometimes the coach would want to stay and they feel

941
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 1: more at home, but like I'm left with no choice.

942
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 1: It's just too much money. So I am hopeful that

943
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: we'll see more and more of that, But at a

944
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 1: certain point the resources are going to be too vast

945
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:01,879
Speaker 1: and an enticing to make a move from a Sun

946
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 1: Belt team up or a Mountain West team up. But

947
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: I hope we're able to squeeze every last drop of

948
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:11,399
Speaker 1: those experiences while they're happening, I hope, And.

949
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 2: That's probably goes without saying, I hope we're able to

950
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 2: achieve some sense of normalcy in twenty twenty one after

951
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 2: the year we all had. And I'll just keep this

952
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:28,479
Speaker 2: within our little sports lens here, twenty twenty was far

953
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 2: from normal. I would hope for more of a normal

954
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. I don't know what protocols look like

955
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 2: in different places around the country. Yeah, I hope we

956
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,479
Speaker 2: can have full stadiums. I hope we can avoid looks

957
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 2: like well, the risk of further outbreaks, any COVID related issues.

958
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 2: I hope we can put that in the rear view

959
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 2: mirror now and focus on some of the things here

960
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 2: that we've discussed today that would be in spite of

961
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:55,760
Speaker 2: it all like that would be the best possible outcome.

962
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 1: We agree.

963
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:04,200

Speaker 2: This is the first show, the first show in eons

989
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:24,839
Speaker 2: and you know, in thirteen years since we've been doing

990
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 2: this show. Yeah, okay, this is probably the very first

991
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 2: show where I went an entire block of audio without

992
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,359
Speaker 2: dropping a marker in my file that I would have

993
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 2: to go back to later and fix because I screwed

994
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 2: something up, and I attribute that to the fact that

995
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 2: I can now focus on this, I can think clearly

996
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 2: about this instead of rushing from A to B. I

997
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 2: can actually enjoy my conversation with you.

998
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 1: I love it. It feels pre damn good. It feels

999
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 1: great on this end too. I can't tell you the

1000
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: number of times where I'm sure you've had to go

1001
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 1: and find those markers for I think between twenty fourteen

1002
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:08,799
Speaker 1: and twenty nineteen, you rarely pronounce Cincinnati, not Cincinoki, and

1003
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 1: You've had to go back every single time, and it's

1004
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: just your mind is elsewhere and I got now, it's

1005
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 1: not now.

1006
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 2: It feels good to be able to focus on this

1007
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 2: good and enjoy the conversation. It does not necessarily mean

1008
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 2: him anymore, right, But are you.

1009
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:24,960

1011
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:29,319

1012
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:30,799
Speaker 1: on a bunch of different things here, but what are

1013
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:33,359
Speaker 1: you gonna do with like a more normal nine to five?

1014
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: Have not figured that out yet? I have not handing yet, Jacked.

1015
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 1: I know you've got a bump shoulder.

1016
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 2: I can't get jacked on the left side of my body,

1017
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 2: but maybe the right side. Maybe I can have like

1018
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 2: a Roger Fetterer thing going on where I have one

1019
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 2: huge arm and one that's just.

1020
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:49,879
Speaker 1: Yeah rougha has that too. Yeah. You see how I'm

1021
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: withholding a response to that because that's a newly mature me. Yeah.

1022
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: Could you swim though and build up because that's not

1023
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: gonna deal with as much trauma. Yeah, you can build

1024
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: up your arms swimming without like you're not lit, but

1025
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 1: you can't get You can't get jack swimming, can you? Oh? Yeah?

1026
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: I mean in their swimming jack like Ryan Lochtey and

1027
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: Michael Phelips, they were like they had a ton of

1028
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:14,319
Speaker 1: lean muscle. Sure, but they clearly were I mean they're

1029
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 1: crosstrating doing something. Yeah, okay, So like six pack? Do

1030
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: you want to just like hammer your core in a

1031
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: way that you've never hammered your core? Do you want

1032
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: to read a new author that you've been meaning to read?

1033
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 1: What is the next item?

1034
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 2: I am desperately in search of some sort of workout

1035
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,880
Speaker 2: regimen that does not require weights, because I don't want

1036
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 2: to have to leave my house and go to a

1037
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 2: gym for it. I prefer like the body weight type stuff,

1038
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 2: if stuff if I can't. A ski erg is a

1039
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 2: ski erg. You've told me about these, Yeah, my friend

1040
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,840
Speaker 2: Can told me about He claims he was briefly the

1041
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:51,839
Speaker 2: US ski ERG champion. Okay, maybe for his age group.

1042
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 2: I forget.

1043
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 1: Uh. A skier is almost like a vertical rowing machine. Okay,

1044
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: and you've told me you've done rowing machines. I've done.

1045
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: So the cables you reach up. I'm using my arms

1046
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:04,799
Speaker 1: right now. You reach up for the cables and you

1047
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 1: bring them down almost like I don't know what, like

1048
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 1: a a lasso of something. I don't know, but you're

1049
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 1: you're ripping them down. And so it's a full body

1050
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 1: a ski erg. So you're not I don't think you're

1051
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 1: dealing with as much resistance, but you're generating force. So

1052
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 1: it's both. I mean, it looks really difficult but cool,

1053
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 1: and it's cardio and wade at the same time. Look up,

1054
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 1: it's I think it's s K I E R G. Yeah,

1055
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: that's my that's pitch number one to you ski What

1056
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: other workouts? Could you box? Could I buy? Probably could box? Yeah,

1057
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: your shoulder wouldn't be too affected. By it, you're making it.

1058
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:41,760
Speaker 1: It's there's impact there.

1059
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 2: I want I want suggestions from the verbarhood on this one,

1060
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 2: because my guess is, my guess is after years of

1061
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,399
Speaker 2: not doing research on this, there's a lot out there.

1062
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 1: So suburb at Gmail, do you want like sport competition?

00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:58,839
Speaker 1: somebody as a workout or do you just want sort

1065
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:03,080
