1
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: That tried everyone. You hear the celebratory paper pop, I'm back.

2
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,159
Speaker 1: It was that time of decade. I took vacation for

3
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: the first time since COVID, which was like a year long.

4
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: Well they counted them as non vacation days, but we

5
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: were out of the office.

6
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: But since then it was on record. I checked with HR.

7
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: I hadn't taken a vacation day since twenty twenty. So

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: I took a whole week off that some call it

9
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: a honeymoon, I believe, and half the SEC and Big

10
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: ten was down in Saint Lucia, so I really didn't

11
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: get too far away from you guys.

12
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: More about that on the back end of the show.

13
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: But we're jampacked High Top, just a sparkling downtown Nashville, Tennessee,

14
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: on this Thursday, June twelfth, the year worl Lord twenty

15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: twenty five. Now, some may say that I missed a lot.

16
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go as far as to say that, because

17
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: by missing, you're implying that I was kind of with

18
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: out and I was not. But there were big news

19
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: items that happened in college football while I was gone.

20
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna kind of talk about them, but from the

21
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: standpoint like you and I would talk about them if

22
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: we were out to lunch today, not necessarily with all

23
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: due respect the way someone would write about it if

24
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: you're covering the sport. I got Big ten quarterback rankings.

25
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: I didn't learn my lesson from the SEC.

26
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: Let's see, there's a little smudge on the laptop there.

27
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: I didn't it's still there.

28
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: I didn't learn my lesson when I did it with

29
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: the SEC. So someone asked me to do it with

30
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: the Big Ten, so I said, hey, why not. So

31
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: we're going to drop that on the show tonight. FanDuel

32
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: has done us the great service of releasing those make

33
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: and miss odds, which is, it's just as it sounds

34
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: Peyte State to make the playoff or to miss the playoff,

35
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: so you can bet on whether teams will miss the

36
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: playoff or not. And got out. We got all that

37
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: in the show tonight. We've got Actually someone asked about

38
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick and has nothing to do with his personal life.

39
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: Imagine the audacity of talking about Bill Belichick within the

40
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: con finds of football.

41
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: We're gonna try it. I don't know if it's gonna work,

42
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: but we're gonna try it. On the show tonight.

43
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: We've got several odds and ends to weave into the show.

44
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: We're jam packed.

45
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: You hear how thick that stack of papers is. We've

46
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: been gone way too long. I don't know how you

47
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: guys do it. I'm told some of you take vacations

48
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: multiple times a year. I don't know how you do it.

49
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: But we're here, we're back, and we are together for

50
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: the foreseeable future. You know, unless you want to tune out,

51
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: in which case you're free to do that constitutionally, but

52
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: I don't recommend it. They're watching us in clear Lake, Texas, Buffalo,

53
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: New York, Coleman, Alabama, Phoenix, Arizona. I do have to

54
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 1: tell you the staff is getting Father's Day off. As

55
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: the son of a father himself, I've made the executive decision.

56
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: The staff is getting Father's Day off. So we'll be

57
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: back next week. I got just a metric ton of

58
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: stuff happening behind the scenes with the show that we'll

59
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: announce in due time.

60
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: No bad, all good, but a ton of stuff happening.

61
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: So the schedule has been a little wonky, but that's okay.

62
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: We'll get it. We'll get it back on track pretty quickly.

63
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm not even gonna pop paper or pop

64
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: knuckles or anything like that while I was gone. Yes,

65
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: it's true, there were some big news items that happened

66
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: in college football, in college athletics, even some would say.

67
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: And frankly, I had grown tired of talking about this,

68
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: so it really didn't hurt my feelings too much that

69
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: this happened while I was gone. Rob hit me, he said,

70
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: what was it like seeing one of the biggest college

71
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: football stories of all time being broken while you were

72
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: out of the country on your honeymoon? And I'm not

73
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: quite sure what Rob's talking about there, because, to the

74
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: rest of my knowledge, I covered this as the news broke,

75
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: did I not Bradley and Jesse. I covered this as

76
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: best I could. I cut in straight from Saint Lucian.

77
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: Look right here, I covered it. What do you think

78
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: I was doing here?

79
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: Rob?

80
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: If you're listening on podcasts, I'm covering my heart out

81
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: of this story. That was about the extent of my

82
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: thoughts on it, Rob, I couldn't have cared less. I

83
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: know it's a big story. I understand has huge implications

84
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: for future of college football. But you got to understand

85
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: when your draw to this game is the on field

86
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: nature of the game, and you don't really truly enjoy

87
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: watching the sport be played in a courtroom, as it

88
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: has been very.

89
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 2: Very much so over the past. I don't know, several years.

90
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: I didn't mind being out of touch, out of pocket,

91
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: if you will, But I did have some thoughts, and

92
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna necessarily break them down like Dellinger Wood

93
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: or like Marcelo would. I mean, those guys have done

94
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: phenomenal jobs covering this stuff. I'm saying, I'm glad, candidly speaking,

95
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: I don't have to cover it. Ross Dellinger was in

96
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: a courtroom or some hearing again today, for he's been

97
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: in courtrooms and like hearings more than pro wrestlers used

98
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: to be in the ring in the eighties. They talk

99
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: about working three hundred plus days a year. I mean,

100
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: that's your life right now. If you're covering college football

101
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: from a strictly journalistic standpoint.

102
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 2: Gross terrible. So they're getting paid for it.

103
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: I'm not expecting you to feel sorry for these people,

104
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: but man, like, eventually, aren't we supposed touch some grass

105
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: or at least some synthetic turf, hopefully grass. I'll tell

106
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: you what I didn't understand. I was well, obviously my

107
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: phone the I Josh was lit up when I had

108
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: cell phones Wi Fi service down there, but I did

109
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: not understand rob To answer your question, a lot of

110
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: the reaction I have noticed, as has been pointed out

111
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: on this show, that a lot of the people who

112
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: are paying attention to college football hardcore this time of

113
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: year are people who love the sport like we do.

114
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: And the people who love the sport the most usually

115
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: are the first to find flaws in the sport. And

116
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: I've kind of made that analogous to a city council meeting,

117
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: where it doesn't.

118
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: Matter how great the city is.

119
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: If you turn on a city council meeting and your

120
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: only perception of that town is what you see in

121
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: the city council meeting, you'll think that town is terrible

122
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: because no one goes to the city council meeting to

123
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: talk about how great the city is.

124
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: They go there to complain.

125
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 1: Well, Likewise, no one hops on the internet in May

126
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: or June to talk about college football and how great

127
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: it is. They're only talking about this and that, and

128
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: they're nitpicking, and.

129
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 2: That's okay, man, Like I do it I do it.

130
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 2: I'm guilty of it.

131
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: But if you've been listening to that for the last

132
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: past weeks and months, it's been kind of exhausting. So

133
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: I did notice that when this news broke, and all

134
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: the news was, I guess we're not burying the lead

135
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: because it's a week old story now, But I mean

136
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: the news was that the House Settlement got passed by

137
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: Judge Claudia Wilkin out.

138
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 2: In the Ninth Circuit Court.

139
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: And now you've got revenue sharing and allegedly you've got

140
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: some rules, some guidelines, you know, the mythical guard rails

141
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: that we've been looking for for so long. Hey, at

142
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: least the language is written into this. We'll see how

143
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: enforceable it is. But I'll tell you my biggest sort

144
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: of singular takeaway, if there was one, was I didn't

145
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: understand some of the reactions. I didn't understand the reactions

146
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: of people who looked at it and said, oh, the

147
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: House Settlement's been passed. The revenue sharing era is here.

148
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: There goes college athletics and college football as we know it.

149
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: How how And I asked several of my buddies this,

150
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: because I mean, look, most of my buddies kind of

151
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: love the sport for the same reasons I love the sport.

152
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: We don't always agree on everything. But I was listening

153
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: to some of them talk, and I really think they

154
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: were just complaining to hear themselves complain, because best I

155
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: can tell, we just had a situation for several years

156
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: where everyone complained about what lack of rules, lack of structure,

157
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: lack of guardrails. It's the wild West, transfer portals, out

158
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: of control, nil really masquerading as just outright pay for plays,

159
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: out of control. These are widely shared complaints, are they not.

160
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: And so that's been happening for a long time. And

161
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: so I'm looking at the language in the House Settlement,

162
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: and I didn't understand a lot of the reaction. For

163
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: the life of me, I couldn't understand people who love

164
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: college football, the classical version of it, and have been

165
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: complaining about all that's wrong with it. And they looked

166
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: and they said, oh, there.

167
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: Goes college football.

168
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: What with the House settlement, there goes college football. You

169
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: got a cap on spending. Now you introduced more structure,

170
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: you introduced rules, you introduced at least incentive to greatly

171
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: reduce roster churn. Therefore, the portal from this point moving

172
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: forward should be fractionally as out of control and busy

173
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: as it has been. They re elevated in the interim

174
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: the concept of evaluation and relationship building as being the

175
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: cornerstones of the recruiting process. And you listen to that

176
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: and said, Josh, that's not true. Everyone's being paid. What

177
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: do you think revenue sharing is. No, I didn't say

178
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: they weren't being paid. And if I really wanted to

179
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: go bad faith argument mode on you, I could do

180
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: what most people do and say, oh, they were always

181
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: being paid. But I'm not going to do that. I'm

182
00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: not going to do that in the interest of ethics

183
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: around here. But my point is it's not about whether

184
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: kids are going to be paid or not. And I

185
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: think it's a pretty broadly held consensus that most of

186
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: us believe they should be paid or compensated at least somewhat.

187
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: I think most people's rub was, well, right now, if

188
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 1: you've got one billionaire in your back pocket, then they

189
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: can just run circles around everyone and there's no rules

190
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: and this and that, and you're getting poached from one

191
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: roster to go to another roster, and it's just wild

192
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: West Free Agency all the time, twenty four hours a day,

193
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: seven days a week. Well, now you've got rules. Whether

194
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: they're enforceable or not, I'll get to in a second,

195
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: but you've got rules. You've actually got a set of

196
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: standards that everyone has to addhere to, and you've got

197
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: a revenue sharing structure that everyone has to adhere to.

198
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: And when I look at that, I was down at

199
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: LSU last year. I was actually I was outside of

200
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly's office talking to someone else.

201
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: But Yaile's been there forever.

202
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: So I'm in YLE's office talking to her, and Brian

203
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: Kelly walks by I was talking to and he said, man,

204
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: I really hope, I really hope that we get that

205
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: new structure in place, because I love a world where

206
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: evaluation matters and relationship development matters and recruiting. And what

207
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: he meant by that is not I want to get

208
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: to a world where kids don't get paid. What he's

209
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: talking about, and what literally every other coach that you

210
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: meet with is talking about, sands a few is we

211
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: want to get to a world where the kids.

212
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 2: Are getting paid.

213
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: But everyone's kind of singing out of the same hymnal

214
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: so it's not.

215
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: Bidding war season. It's recruiting season.

216
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: And Clemson's going to offer me to twenty five a year.

217
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: In Texas is going to offer me to thirty eight

218
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: a year, and Old Miss may go all the way

219
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: up to two fifty. But there's not this wide gulf

220
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: and offers to where if I wanted to go to Bama,

221
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: but Southern Cow comes in and offers three times the

222
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: amount I'm going to go to Southern cal hashtag business decision.

223
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: That's not the way recruiting's really going to feel as

224
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 1: much anymore. If these rules are enforceable, So then if

225
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: everyone's sort of able to offer roughly the same amount,

226
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: then what matters again? What matters again is your ability

227
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: to evaluate your ability to develop once they get on campus,

228
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: but your ability to develop relationships.

229
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 2: Before they're on campus.

230
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: And dare I say recruiting may retake on some of

231
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: the flavor that recruiting used to have. But the multi

232
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: what is that piece of paper? The multi billion dollar

233
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: question in all of this. I wrote it down here,

234
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: you know, just in case I would forget this sentence.

235
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: It's very complicated. Will they really be able to enforce it?

236
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: Told you it was complicated, easy to memorize, but that's it.

237
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: That's actually all that matters with any rule that's ever

238
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: been written in the history of mankind. Will they be

239
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: able to enforce this because you know, obviously with this

240
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: whole revenue sharing thing, nil doesn't go away. But the

241
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: way the rules have been written is any NIL deal

242
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: above six hundred dollars I think is the number goes

243
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: through this clearinghouse. And essentially, if Peyton State wants to

244
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: pay Jesse over six hundred dollars, I got to prove

245
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: that Jesse's real value for the service that he's going

246
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 1: to provide in exchange for that money matches what he

247
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: would get on the open market. Now, of course this

248
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: is a situation right for lawsuits. They are going to

249
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: come The multi billion dollar question therein is, well, if

250
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: you've got a rogue program out there that looks at

251
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: these rules and says good luck and force in that,

252
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: and they just still go rogue and they offer well

253
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: above and beyond, either through straight up cash or end

254
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: around nil deals, how you going to enforce it?

255
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. I don't know.

256
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: That's why I'm sort of leaning back in this chair

257
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: a little bit and taking a wait and see approach.

258
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: I hope they can. I've been very clear on my

259
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: wish with all of this, and that is I hope

260
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: we get to this place as soon as possible because

261
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: I am looking out and my personal my self interest

262
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: is college football. There's no one program I'm rooting for. There,

263
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: there is no one person I'm rooting for. I'm rooting

264
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: for college football. College football is at its best not

265
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: when there's full competitive balance calls.

266
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 2: There never will be.

267
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 1: I mean, that's sunshine, rainbow unicorn land.

268
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 2: There's not that.

269
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: But if you have a st if you have an

270
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: entire landscape where you've got the revenue share and then

271
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: you got the nil sort of as a cherry on top,

272
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: but by and large you've got rules and they're able

273
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: to be enforced.

274
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 2: That's a win for college football fans.

275
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: And it places the emphasis back on recruiting and then

276
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 1: back on development and then ultimately back on the football

277
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: field instead of the courtroom. Imagine that that'd be refreshing.

278
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: But I think it's all about fear. You ask, well,

279
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: will they be able to enforce this? Well, it depends

280
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: on how terrified people are. I don't know how many

281
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: of you have been through South Georgia. Thomasville, for example,

282
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: there's a highway that runs through Thomasville, US nineteen. Anytime

283
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: I went to a Florida State game. If I were

284
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 1: going to go back to Columbus Georgia, I'd have to

285
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: come through Thomasville, notorious speed trap. And the reason why

286
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: when that sign says thirty miles an hour you don't

287
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: dare drive over thirty is because you're scared that you'll

288
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: get pulled over, because they do it every.

289
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 2: Day down there. Now.

290
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: Conversely, there are other places in the state of Georgia

291
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: where you know that you can disregard the speed limit sign.

292
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 2: They don't ever patrol this area.

293
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: It's the same way with rules and enforcement in college football.

294
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: So Bradley throw up that piece from.

295
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: The Dellinger story. This is a very short paragraph, but

296
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: this is what it's about here. This is from Ross

297
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: Dellinger a few days ago. He said an enforcement staff

298
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: is expected to be hired to investigate and enforce rules

299
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: related to cap circumvention, mpering, et cetera, and are charged

300
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: with levying stiff penalties. Violators may be subject to multi

301
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: game coaching suspensions reductions in a school's revenue share pool,

302
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,479
Speaker 1: as well as reductions in a loud transfers and significant

303
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: school finds.

304
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 2: Keep that up, Bradley.

305
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: So if you're able to do this, if everyone looks

306
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: around the room, and I can promise you this is

307
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: happening right now. Those league meetings, everyone says the right thing,

308
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: whether they're in DestinE or they're in Amelia Island, wherever

309
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: the'se in Los.

310
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 2: Angeles for the Big Ten.

311
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: All these coaches get in the room, they agree with

312
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: each other. We want rules, we want proper governors, we

313
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: want structure. If everyone else will play by the rules,

314
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: we will too. They all say that, okay. So what

315
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: you do if you're Greg Sankey, you're Tony Petiti or

316
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: any of these conference commissioners. You get in the room

317
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: and you make sure everyone agrees. You all say you

318
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: want structure, right, yeah, yeah. You get all the heads nodding. Okay,

319
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: And do you agree that if everyone else is playing

320
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: by the rules, you will to do Yeah, yep, yep.

321
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: You're gonna get consensus approval there.

322
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: They're all going to agree to it on the surface,

323
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: and your athletic directors need to be read in on this.

324
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: Your head coaches need to be read in on it.

325
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: University presidents need to be read in on it. And

326
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: then the next question needs to be Okay, well, if

327
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: everyone's on board with this, then you won't mind us

328
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: adopting and then.

329
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 2: Enforcing really really rigid stiff.

330
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: Penalties for anyone who runs a foul of this right,

331
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: Get them all to agree to it.

332
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: Get them all to say yes verbally.

333
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: Just like if I'm sitting on an exit row in

334
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: a plane, they don't take.

335
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 2: The head nod.

336
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: I've got to say yes, yes, I agree. So everyone,

337
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: I don't care what school you're at, you need to

338
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: agree to it. And then if what Ross Dellinger wrote

339
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: here is actually enforceable, if you know that when you

340
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: run a foul of this stuff, you got a multi

341
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: game suspension coming, or your revenue sharing pool is going

342
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: to be reduced where you're not able to offer what

343
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: your competitors are able to offer, or you're not able

344
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: to take as many transfers, or your school gets a

345
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: significant fine. That right there is the thirty mile an

346
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: hour speed limit sign with three cops on the side

347
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: of the road. That's the difference. If you're able to

348
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: enforce it, that's the difference. Now Part two of this is, well,

349
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: how do you decide whether you're able to enforce it? Well,

350
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: therein lies not the problem, but the unfinished business in

351
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: all this, and it's something that I'm following really closely.

352
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: I don't talk about it a lot on the show

353
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: because it's kind of boring, but I'm following this very

354
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: closely because they're fighting to get a bill that grants

355
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: them limited anti trust exemption. And don't worry if if

356
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: you're a sophomore at Troy University and you don't know

357
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: what that means. It just means writing rules that Congress

358
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: then gives you the authority to enforce, and otherwise you

359
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't have that cause it would be illegal. So that's

360
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,479
Speaker 1: what college football collectively is looking for right now. Now

361
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: You're gonna get a lot of players rights advocates that

362
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: fight against that, and that's okay.

363
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 2: I as I.

364
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: Said before, and I'll say a million times more, I

365
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: care about what's in the best interest of the overall

366
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: product college football, and what's best for the overall product

367
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 1: college football is to have the players being compensated. Check fairly,

368
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: check sometimes above and beyond fairly. At this point, check

369
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: having rules Okay, question mark right now, and the ability

370
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 1: to enforce them also a question mark. And so they

371
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: got part one done, they got the House Settlement. If

372
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: they develop the ability through Congress to enforce this, that's

373
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: really when you've got groundbreaking, substantive change. Until then, you're

374
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: just gonna get a lot of battles in the courtroom.

375
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: I mean, here's how big a joke this is. Right now,

376
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: I'll just move on because I'm not gonna name names,

377
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: because I'm really not even educated enough on this stuff

378
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: to fight the battle if people challenging me on it candidly.

379
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: But I know of legal types who spoke out against

380
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: anyone who pushed back on the House Settlement. They're advocating

381
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: for the House Settlement. Don't get in the way of progress.

382
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: The House Settlement is going to save college athletics. And

383
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: these same people had female athletes lined up ready to

384
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: challenge the Title nine portion of the House Settlement the

385
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: day it was settled, the day it was agreed upon.

386
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: And so you do have people whose lifeblood, whose income

387
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: depends on drama and depends on unrest in the world

388
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 1: of college athletics, and those people have a vested interest

389
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: in making sure that the Tornado keeps spending.

390
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 2: I don't really.

391
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: Care what they think about my opinion. I care about

392
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: what you think and what we think. I would say

393
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: to a super majority consensus is yeah, we want rules

394
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: and we want people to be able to enforce them.

395
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: Kids are going to make a ton of money either way.

396
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: You know, I'd strongly encourage you to listen to Christy Dash,

397
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: who covers this very well. She also teaches down at

398
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: Florida on this very subject. I was listening to her

399
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: the other day. She said, I teach about nil and

400
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: about the potential employment model in college athletics, and she said,

401
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: it's so funny when you explain what being an employee

402
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: would actually mean versus maybe collective bargaining, but not under

403
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: the employment model. Said one hundred percent of players said,

404
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to be an employee.

405
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 2: They're right, it's so funny. That's the irony in all this.

406
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: You got a bunch of quote unquote players rights advocates

407
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: that are pushing for the employment model, and once they're

408
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: educated on it, almost no players want the employment model

409
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: because they realize they have never had it, nor will

410
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: they ever have it. Better then they've got it right

411
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: now and now, I'm of the belief that you do

412
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: not have to have the employment model to collectively bargain

413
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: this stuff. I think they're very small people in the

414
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: room that can accomplish one without the other. I do

415
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: actually think that's the common ground that athletes, their representation

416
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: and conference commissioners will arrive at. So I do think

417
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: they'll eventually get that done. I just don't feel like

418
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: wasting any more time talking about it. Academy Sports and Outdoors,

419
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: no matter where your players came from, no matter how

420
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: your roster was constructed, that Tennessee uniform is still just

421
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: as orange on Saturdays in the fall, And if you

422
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: want to pick one up, Academy Sports and Outdoors is

423
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: where you want to do it. And you may be

424
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: listening to me saying Josh, I don't care about football.

425
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 2: If you don't.

426
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show, I cannot believe you made it

427
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: this far in. But you know, maybe you're an A's

428
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: fan and they're getting blown out tonight and you just

429
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: kind of found the show. Well, maybe you like camping.

430
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 1: They got tents at Academy. Maybe you like fishing. They

431
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: got rods and reels Academy. I got all kind of

432
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: different stuff. Maybe you like Gum. They got big lead

433
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: chew at Academy. They are the presenting partner of this show.

434
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 1: My pen just fell apart. I assume I can get

435
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 1: another one of those at Academy, even though this one

436
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: came from ac And I think Indianapolis, good people there,

437
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: by the way, But Academy Sports and Outdoors and Academy

438
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: dot Com. If you can't get there in person, I

439
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: think twenty new locations opening up soon. So spreading the

440
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 1: good word every single day. All right, let's move on.

441
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: This is going to be a terrible segment, but I've

442
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 1: got to do it. I've got to do. What else

443
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: are we going to do in June? The other day,

444
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: I guess it's been like half a month ago at

445
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: this point. I went on these very airwaves and I

446
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: shared with you how I thought the quarterback picture in

447
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: the SEC would look this year.

448
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 2: And I ranked them.

449
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: And that's why I don't normally do those sorts of things,

450
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: because the comment section was an utter disaster, mostly from

451
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: people who didn't understand what I was doing, which was

452
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: expectations instead of ranking off returning production. So I was

453
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: like sixty percent of the haters and then the other

454
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: forty percent just kind of want to watch the world burn.

455
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 1: I don't even really think they were that upset, but

456
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: they sure typed.

457
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 2: Like they were so tonight.

458
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: Bradley, when you cut this video later, this is this

459
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: is a good endpoint for you. It's time to rank

460
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: the Big Ten quarterbacks coming into this year. Now what

461
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: I'm doing is I'm looking at it and I'm saying,

462
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: what do I expect?

463
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 2: What do I personally expect?

464
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: So, like Julian saying's at Ohio State, dude has not

465
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: started a game, I expect big things from him, So

466
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: I don't need stats.

467
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 2: I don't need a stat line from when he was

468
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 2: a freshman because he didn't start last year. Just like

469
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 2: with Arch at Texas, I wasn't.

470
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: Gonna rank him fourteenth because he hasn't really played a

471
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: whole lot. I think Arch Manning is gonna be really good.

472
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: Well likewise, in the Big Ten, I got a lot

473
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: of guys that I'm about to rank really highly that

474
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: haven't played meaningful football, but they will this year, and

475
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be good. So here here's what's

476
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: the most funny about this. According to my expectations in

477
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: ranking Big Ten quarterbacks. I'm gonna put Drew Aller number one.

478
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get serious pushback on that. It's laughable, but

479
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get serious pushback on that. Everyone wants Drew

480
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: Aler to be elite because he was a former five

481
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: star quarterback who has started multiple years, and I'm telling

482
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 1: you that he hasn't been elite yet. And I'm telling

483
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: you he may not even be elite this year. But

484
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: he's a really good player. He's a really good quarterback.

485
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: If he goes above and beyond and he's elite, more

486
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: power to him. And I'll take credit because I got

487
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: him ranked number one. But even if he's not, if

488
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: Drew Holler just plays a little bit better than he

489
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: did last year, he may very well be the best

490
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: quarterback in the Big Ten. And for those of you

491
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: who say that's ridiculous, Okay, you're entitled.

492
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 2: To your opinion.

493
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: I want you to point to me the sure fire

494
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: candidate out there that slam dunk case closed, no question,

495
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: you expect to be better than Drew Aller this year.

496
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 2: And then I want you to define better.

497
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: Is it completion percentage, TD tot eratio, Like, what is

498
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: it that someone's going to definitively do better than him.

499
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 2: So I've got Drew at number one.

500
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,959
Speaker 1: Now here's where we get very very quickly into the

501
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: weeds of guesswork. This is what this is, That's what

502
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: expectations are. I am trying to be an educated guesser.

503
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: I got Julian say in number two in the Big Ten.

504
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: He came to Alabama and then transferred after about five

505
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: minutes when Saban retired, and he goes up there. He

506
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: is one of many guys who transferred, didn't have to

507
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: start right away, and he got to sort of be

508
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: a fly on the wall in that quarterback room during

509
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: the national championship run. He got a really really good

510
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: taste of how different it is at Ohio State, and frankly,

511
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: if he stayed at Bama, it was going to be

512
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 1: the same way.

513
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 2: So this is a dude who I.

514
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: Am very very high on. I was high on him

515
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: out of high school. Just made from the right stuff

516
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: from the neck up. Now, by the way, the release

517
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: is ultra quick too, so a lot of the intangibles,

518
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: some of the tangibles I think he has. There's just

519
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: no substitute for experience. But the thing about Ohio State

520
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: from an organizational standpoint is, I will blindly trust Ryan

521
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: Day and now Brian hartline offensive coordinator.

522
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 2: There.

523
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: I will They've earned the right to be blindly trusted

524
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: to surround a quarterback with the right pieces. That wide

525
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: receiver rooms incredible, probably the best in college football.

526
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 2: But also I trust them to develop.

527
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 1: I got a long, long history there now of developing

528
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: that position. And not only that, they're not trying to,

529
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: you know, pull every last ounce of potential out of

530
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 1: a guy who has three star max potential. Julian Sanin

531
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: was ranked five stars out of high school, and he

532
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: is every bit of that. From a potential standpoint. I

533
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: think he'll realize it this year, and my expectation is

534
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: he's right up there among the best in the conference.

535
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: Dante Moore at Oregon I also have up there. I

536
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: got him at number three. Dante Moore was at UCLA.

537
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: He started there, he transferred to Oregon and then he

538
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: sat out a year. Now, you don't see that much.

539
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: You see guys that don't start and then transfer and

540
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 1: city year. Maybe Dante more started at UCLA then transferred

541
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: than sat a year because he's he's behind a really,

542
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: really good player in Dylan Gabriel last year and now

543
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: he's playing.

544
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: And I will tell you this.

545
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: You've got whatever scouting report you could have on him

546
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: from UCLA.

547
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 2: I'll just tell you.

548
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: The returns I've heard about him out of Oregon have

549
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: been pretty glowing. And you've got to find the right

550
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: kind of people to give you feedback on players. There's

551
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: some folks out there who would sunshine pump all day long.

552
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: Guy could be out there in a wheelchair and he's

553
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: moving around pretty good. Well, yeah, he's rolling though, so

554
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: he's probably not going to contribute a whole lot this fall.

555
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: So you got to know who to trust. The people

556
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: I know I can trust at Oregon. They trust what

557
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: they've got there. And I would also remind you there

558
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: was a five star quarterback who committed to them and

559
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: early enrolled and was there for playoff practice and Bowl prep.

560
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: I guess that's what you would call that period. He

561
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: saw enough in Dante Moore that he hit the exit door.

562
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: He said, I know I signed with you guys, I

563
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 1: want outing, and his staff said, all right, bye, I

564
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: trust Dante Moore and I trust again. Will Stein is

565
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: one of the very very bright, sort of younger relatively speaking,

566
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: lesser known names in the coordinator world amongst common fans.

567
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: He's very well known in the coaching world. I trust them.

568
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 1: They have earned my blind trust to get the most

569
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: out of that position, and I think they'll get the

570
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 1: most out of Dante Moore. I assume Jesse, and I'm

571
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: guessing here that I'll get a lot of pushback on

572
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: number four because number four for me is Demon Williams

573
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: at Washington. Like I'm very very high on him, extremely

574
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: high on him. I'm high on Washington as a team

575
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: and what they're capable of doing. From a scaling up standpoint.

576
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: This year, I always have to have the hand motion.

577
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: See if you listen to podcast, you miss the fact

578
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: that there are certain hand motions I do associated with

579
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: certain words like nine times per show and scaling.

580
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 2: In this right here is one of them.

581
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: Demi Willi is going to be really good this year,

582
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: and almost no one around the country's talking about him

583
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: right now. I trust the position he's in, I trust

584
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: the coaching staff that he is playing for. I trust

585
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: him as a talent, and I think year two, if

586
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: you're looking for a surprise team out of the Big

587
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: two conferences, it could maybe be Missouri in the SEC.

588
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: But I think it's absolutely Washington in the Big Ten.

589
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: And if I'm right about that, it'll be because I'm

590
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,479
Speaker 1: right about this. So I'm doing, you know, sort of

591
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: sort of a correlated belief system here. I believe in

592
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: Demon Williams and this is based on expectation from me

593
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: for this year. I got him all the way up

594
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: there in the top five. I got him at number

595
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: four in the Big Ten quarterback rankings, and because of that,

596
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: I think Washington is sort of a low key sleeper

597
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: team in the Big.

598
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 2: Ten title race.

599
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: Not my pick, per se, but they got a guy

600
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: up there who knows what he's doing in Jed Fish,

601
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: and I think he's got himself a quarterback that could

602
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: be one of the talks of college football around mid seas.

603
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: Number five is Luke Altmeyer, who returns along with almost

604
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: everybody at Illinois. Not a whole lot more to say

605
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: about him, twenty two to six TD to I n

606
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: T last year. He's there's a lot of consistency and

607
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: continuity in that staff and in that system. They're gonna

608
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: be a lot more high profile of a team this year.

609
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: They're gonna be on big stages, a lot more they

610
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: got Southern cal and Ohio State coming in there, and

611
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: that doesn't matter so much because it's not like he's

612
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: he is decided as a player based on his schedule.

613
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: The reason I'm telling you what the schedule is is

614
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: because it means a lot more people are gonna watch him.

615
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: They'll be in pressure situations a lot more. And frankly,

616
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: whether it's Altmeyer or whether it's that entire team, I

617
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: think one of the big stories to watch in the

618
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: Big Ten this year is how Illinois as a team

619
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: plays with expectation because always overlooked anytime there's a team

620
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: that does a lot. You can say the same thing

621
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: about Indiana. Anytime there's a team that comes out of nowhere,

622
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: does a lot and then returns a core chunk of

623
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: that roster, it's blindly assumed that if you had a

624
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: good team and returning production rate is high, just copy

625
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: and paste, like their starting point is where they left

626
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: off last year. Yeah, but they also had eight months

627
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: to listen to people tell them how good they were,

628
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: and they had eight months to go from collective chip

629
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: on the shoulder to pats on the shoulder. And sometimes

630
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: that doesn't affect guys. Hopefully it doesn't with Altmeyer and Illinois.

631
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes it does, though, you come out of the gate

632
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: ice cold, and everyone's looking, said, but remember how these

633
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: guys played last year?

634
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 2: What happened?

635
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: This happens every year. The trick is trying to figure

636
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: out where it's gonna happen. So this is me kind

637
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: of betting that it doesn't happen with Illinois and Coach

638
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: Brett's got those guys ready to go. He's got himself

639
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: a really good quarterback there in Luke Altmeyer. Dylan Riyola

640
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: at Nebraska. I struggled, frankly, I struggled with five through

641
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: ten here because these things could slide any which given way.

642
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: Dylan Iola at Nebraska cut down on the turnovers.

643
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 2: It's my request.

644
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: If he's watching, if if Matt Rule is watching, and

645
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: there's a you know, there's a portion of the playbook

646
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: where you cut down on the turnovers at the quarterback position,

647
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: well then I'll be too low on Dylan Ryola.

648
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 2: That's why he's down at six right now.

649
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: Skill sets there and Dana Holgerson calling plays for him there,

650
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: and now he'll have no shortage of opportunities. Thirteen to

651
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: eleven td' to I int rate last year. So again,

652
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: this is not based on returning production or your stat

653
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: line last year, although I take it into account. This

654
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: is based on what I expect from you this year,

655
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: So I got high expectations, so please don't embarrass me.

656
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: Jordan Mayava at USC, I put him at number seven.

657
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: I could see him at number four. I could see

658
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: him at number ten.

659
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 2: What was that, Jesse? Oh? Jay? What at?

660
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: I got a big problem with penmanship because I know

661
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: that kid's name and we just corrected, all right, So

662
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: my ave, that's the way do it. You just don't

663
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: even say the first name. I had a very very

664
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: tough time with five through Ten'd be very interesting to

665
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: see the feedback we get on this. But I put

666
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: Jade Mayava at number seven, and I can't help but

667
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: remember when I went to USC last month, the sort

668
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: of sort of like quiet confidence that you get in

669
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: the building when they're talking about him. So it's not

670
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,719
Speaker 1: exactly quiet because they're talking about him, but just the

671
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: overall net increase that they feel they have in that

672
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: team that they think will help the quarterback position, which

673
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: ultimately helps you win games. But it's Lincoln Riley and

674
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. You know, so that is yet another

675
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: area where I've got a guy that I feel comfortable

676
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: blindly trusting in developing that. And also, you know, not

677
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: to revisit the whole talking point of Caleb Williams when

678
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: he was there, but I think it says a lot

679
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: about how willing and able a guy is to play

680
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: with in the system, and I think Jade Miyava, at

681
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: least my hope is he is equipped and ready, willing

682
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 1: and able to play within the system, within the offense.

683
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: If you're an all world like first round first pick

684
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: type guy, you can get away with not doing that

685
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: probably doesn't put your team in best position to win, though,

686
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: and so he's plenty talent enough, is Jade Mayava. I

687
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: kind of hope he checks all those boxes as well.

688
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 1: Bryce Underwood at Michigan true freshman, probably gonna start there.

689
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: I have no clue where to put him. He could

690
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: be the best player in the league. He could struggle

691
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: most freshmen do. He's not most freshmen. So I know

692
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: what the Michigan pushback on this is going to be.

693
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: I got guys, I got a new clue where to

694
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: put him, So I.

695
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 2: Put him at number eight. But if anyone tells you

696
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 2: they know definitively what to expect from him. They're lying.

697
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: That includes Sharon Moore. If we had him on the

698
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: show right now. I don't think Sharon Moore would tell you. Yeah,

699
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: I got a really really good idea of what he's

700
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: going to do this year. Uh, he probably knows as

701
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: a player his profile better than we you do, but

702
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: no one knows. So I got Underwood at eight. I

703
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: put Fernando Mendoza, the cal transferred that went to Indiana.

704
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: I put him at number nine. Look, he'll he'll be

705
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: a good player this year. I trust the system in

706
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: Indiana that he's in as well. But I just feel

707
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: like we're gonna get to early November. Maybe Indiana's not

708
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: undefeated or anything, but I think again, you'll look and

709
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: you'll say.

710
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 2: Man, Kurt Signetti pulled it off again.

711
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 1: And there were play there were places that needed a

712
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: quarterback that sort of passed on Fernando Mendoza and went

713
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: with in my estimation, bigger risk. There may be bigger reward,

714
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: but bigger risk candidates. Fernando Mendoza's a solid player, and

715
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: so he's going to Indiana. I got him at number nine.

716
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: Nico Iyamaliava. What do you do with him? What do

717
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: you do with him? I put him at number ten.

718
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 1: I have no idea what to expect. I think UCLA

719
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: upgraded at the quarterback position, and as a result, I

720
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: think Tennessee down great at the quarterback position. What kind

721
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: of situation is he being put in? What kind of

722
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: talent is he surrounded with? How well does he acclimate

723
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: out there? That's not an easy thing that he's gone through.

724
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: So you know, what was he going to be at

725
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 1: Tennessee this year? Before any of that change enters the equation?

726
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 2: What was he going to be at Tennessee? Like, I

727
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 2: don't know.

728
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: So five through ten in the Big ten was really

729
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 1: hard for me to figure out. And you could really

730
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: just say the entire picture in the top ten is

731
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: hard to figure out.

732
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 2: So I welcome your feedback. I can't just can't.

733
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: Wait to get it. It's always so constructive. That's why

734
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: when we rank quarterbacks in the league in June, that's

735
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: why I love it because it's so constructive.

736
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 2: Let's move along.

737
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 1: There was legitimate football based news that dropped while I

738
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: was out of the country.

739
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 2: I will payper pop to this.

740
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: The SEC schedule and the start times got released, and

741
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: let's look, ESP owns the rights to this conference now,

742
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: so you're gonna have a ton of primetime games. And

743
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: you know, if you love night games, it's a good

744
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: time to be an SEC fan. But there were a

745
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: couple of games that, even though I love noonkickoffs, I

746
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: was hoping would get the special primetime treatment.

747
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 2: And they didn't necessarily.

748
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 1: But just a couple of takeaways here, Florida is going

749
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: to be front and center. So if you didn't, if

750
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: you didn't know anything about Florida, you will by season's end,

751
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 1: I promise you.

752
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 2: They are going to LSU, that's.

753
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,280
Speaker 1: Going to be a night game. They're going to Miami

754
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 1: ACC I think has rights to that. That won't be

755
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: a noon game, So that'll be either three thirty or

756
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: at night. Texas comes into the Swamp. I would be

757
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: willing to bet that's a night game, three thirty at

758
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: the latest Eastern time. Of course, they are at A

759
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: and M. That's either afternoon or night game. They got

760
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: Georgia at three thirty. They do every year. They go

761
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 1: to Ole Miss that could be a night game. Tennessee

762
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: at home, that could be a night game. Florida stayed

763
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: at home that's either an afternoon or a night game.

764
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't look like Florida's gonna play a single noon game.

765
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 1: So if you want Florida in high leverage positions from

766
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,919
Speaker 1: a scheduling standpoint, you got it. Now, don't go four

767
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 1: and eight, all right, some of us have you top

768
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: ten in their preseason rankings. So this is the time

769
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: for Florida to shine. They call him blue Chip Billy,

770
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: Birmingham Billy because if Billy Napier wanted his team in

771
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: the spotlight, he might as well have broken into the

772
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: league office and made the schedule himself. You will not

773
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,240
Speaker 1: be able to escape Florida this year. Georgia season ticket

774
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: holders have gotten this shaft in some seasons recently, not

775
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 1: this season. You understand this year, if you have Georgia

776
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: season tickets, you're getting Alabama in Athens at night. You're

777
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 1: gonna get Texas in Athens probably at night. You're gonna

778
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 1: get Ole Miss in Athens life afternoon or night. And

779
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: also now that's for the season ticket holders out there,

780
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 1: but also just speaking about Georgia's ability to navigate this schedule,

781
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 1: they only play one road night game in conference playing

782
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: that's at Auburn this year. Auburn could be terrible or

783
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: they could be great, and no one knows what Auburn's

784
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 1: gonna be. But outside of that, look at those road games.

785
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:23,959
Speaker 1: They go to Tennessee. It's not gonna be a night game.

786
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: They go to Jacksonville to face Florida that it's an

787
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: afternoon game too.

788
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 2: They go to Mississippi State. If you've got.

789
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: To go on the road in the SEC, Startville, Nashville, Lexington.

790
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 1: I mean, just respectfully, these are the places that you're

791
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: you're wanting to draw from a road scheduling perspective. We've

792
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: got a conundrum on September twenty seventh, and this doesn't

793
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: just apply to the SEC, but it applies to a

794
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: game that I had circled. So September twenty seventh, at

795
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: least from the chair I sit in right now, is

796
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: setting up to be one of the biggest Saturdays of

797
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 1: the year. Just to give you an idea of what's

798
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: happening that day, we got Oregon at penn State. Somehow,

799
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 1: some way, God has smiled on State College Pennsylvania and

800
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna get the white out with Oregon in town.

801
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 2: Don't ask questions, just be happy you got it. That

802
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 2: game's on.

803
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 1: NBC at the same time Alabama will be playing Georgia.

804
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,919
Speaker 1: So those two are two of the five biggest games

805
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: in the country this year. They'll be happening at the

806
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: same time. And that's important to note because then you

807
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: look at the mid afternoon games and you got LSU

808
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: at Ole miss and you got Auburn at Texas A

809
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: and M. And here's why that's a problem. It may

810
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: not be a good year for Arkansas. It probably won't be.

811
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: And I've been wrong before, but I don't think I

812
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: am on this. But you know what, Arkansas is not

813
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: an easy place to play. And Notre Dame goes to

814
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: Arkansas this year, and I was looking at it and

815
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: I said, I hope they get Notre Dame at night.

816
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 1: Number one, because I want to see Notre Dame challenged.

817
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: And number two, I want Arkansas folks to get their

818
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:03,399
Speaker 1: money's worth. Eleven am kickoff. I just threw up all

819
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: over the place. And I love noon kickoffs, but there

820
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: are certain games that I circle and I say, you,

821
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 1: my friend, you are exempt from my wishes for every

822
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: game to be kicked off at noon.

823
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 2: This was one of them.

824
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to see Notre Dame go into Fayetteville at

825
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 1: night and bigger matchups. Robbed me of that. Do you

826
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: look at what LSU could have to go through. LSU

827
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: expected to be a contender in the SEC, be a

828
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: contender for the national championship. Well, there will not be

829
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: any doubt come late November whether they are valid in

830
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: that race or not. They go to Clemson, they go

831
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:49,760
Speaker 1: to Ole Miss, they go to Alabama, they go to Oklahoma,

832
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: and all those games could be night games. In fact,

833
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: I'm confident three of the four will be night games.

834
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: The only one in question is that game at ole

835
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: Miss because there's so many other big games at night.

836
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: That'll probably be a mid afternoon kickoff. But LSU, man,

837
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: they got it to do. They got Florida at home, obviously,

838
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: but and they got Texas A and M at home too,

839
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 1: But South Carolina at home. It's just the schedules in

840
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: the SEC are wild. I don't really care what anyone

841
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 1: says about that. These schedules are like a sledgehammer to

842
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: the gut every week.

843
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 2: And some of these some of these.

844
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: Programs have done enough core work they can just they

845
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: can just tense those abs up and they can take it.

846
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 1: Most of them can't. And when you got to go

847
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 1: on the road this many times mid afternoon.

848
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 2: Or later, it's tough.

849
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: H And also anytime around these parts we're talking about

850
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: SEC schedules. What are we looking for. We're we're looking

851
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 1: for the Cottober Surprise. That's what we're looking for. Okay,

852
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: in politics, this is not a political show, but those

853
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:53,760
Speaker 1: of you who follow politics, you know, in any election cycle,

854
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: you haven't really figured things out until you get the

855
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: dreaded October surprise. College football, we got the October surprise.

856
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 1: And the October surprise is nobody wants to play South

857
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: Carolina in October, and you especially don't want to be

858
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: going into Williams Brice in October, and you double especially

859
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 1: don't want to have to go in there at night.

860
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: And there are two candidates for the Coctober Surprise this year.

861
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: And somehow, some way, Oklahoma October eighteenth is locked in

862
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:29,439
Speaker 1: as an early kickoff. But Alabama's not Alabama coming off

863
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:33,720
Speaker 1: the third Saturday in October. Mind you, the Tennessee game

864
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,240
Speaker 1: the following week, they got to go to Columbia South

865
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 1: Carolina and they're either going to play that game at

866
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: three point thirty or they're gonna play that game in primetime,

867
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: and either way, October could be very unkind to Caitlin

868
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: de Boorr in Alabama, and I'm warning you it is

869
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: June twelfth. I'm warning you right now you may still

870
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: not have enough time to get yourself ready to avoid

871
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: being victimized by the Coctober surprise.

872
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 2: Have we trademarked that yet?

873
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 1: Jesse I Thine filed for so many trademarks around here,

874
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: and we haven't filed for the Coctober trademark.

875
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 2: Do you imagine if we got to jump on Justin

876
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:11,760
Speaker 2: King and those guys over there.

877
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: Just speaking to friends of the program, I have something

878
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: that I need to address. We got a little little

879
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 1: deeper in the show. Here are forty five minutes into

880
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: the show. Look, we're friendly, we're friendly, got a lot

881
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: of friends in the business, and you know, we don't

882
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 1: collaborate a whole lot. Maybe that's something that changes in

883
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,359
Speaker 1: the not too distant future. But I talk to other

884
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 1: people who do other shows all the time, and a

885
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: couple of the guys that I talked to a fair

886
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: amount are Taylor Lawan and Will Compton over at Busting

887
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: with the Boys. A ton of success for them this

888
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: year Big deals. Sign Happy for those guys, but also

889
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: the crew over there. Okay, so golf clap for Will

890
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 1: and Taylor over at Busting, but also the guys who

891
00:44:58,200 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: work in production over there.

892
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 2: I have taken it upon themselves to start their own

893
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 2: show back.

894
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: Of the bus, and you know, I'll probably do some

895
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 1: stuff with Will and Taylor.

896
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 2: But the guys on the back of the bus hit

897
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 2: me up today.

898
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: And they were like, well, why don't you come on

899
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:15,800
Speaker 1: our show instead of their show?

900
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:17,879
Speaker 2: And I thought, well, that's a.

901
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: Noble request until I went and looked at the profile.

902
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: These fools are out here asking me to come on

903
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: the show.

904
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 2: They don't even follow me. Even the bus an account

905
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 2: follows me.

906
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 1: So I hit them back and I said, one thing

907
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: you need to know about me, I value loyalty. Now

908
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: that's what I showed them publicly. What I didn't show

909
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 1: them publicly is the conversation I had with one of

910
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: their bosses, and they can figure out which one it is.

911
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: Throughout the day, as we decided how this should be handled,

912
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: because this is not the corporate world, there were consequences

913
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: when you run a foul of the process, and when

914
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: you don't understand what being.

915
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 2: For the boys is all about.

916
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of success over there may have

917
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,439
Speaker 1: gone to some heads, and so it's time to yank

918
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: that helium balloon back down to earth. So what I'm

919
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: saying is I don't possess the ability to call the

920
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: shots over there, but I know people who do, and

921
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: punishment and ideas for punishment are being sought.

922
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 2: So here's what I want. I want a good old fashioned.

923
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 1: SPHO, a static push off hold off, and or I

924
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: want a static push.

925
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 2: Up hold off.

926
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: And what that means is I want everybody associated with

927
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: that brand over there back of the bus flat back

928
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:37,320
Speaker 1: locked arms, push up position, and I want staff competing

929
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: against staff, whoever wins that, whoever can hold that position

930
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: the longest. You're exempt from what I'm about to say.

931
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 1: But the rest of you, I want you to sit

932
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 1: right there tribunal style, and I want your two bosses,

933
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: William and Taylor, to select one of you so that

934
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: when I not if but when I make my way

935
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:01,399
Speaker 1: over there, and any time when I make my way

936
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: over there for a visit, you are my personal assistant,

937
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: no questions asked within the letter.

938
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:08,359
Speaker 2: Of the law.

939
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: In Davidson County in the state of Tennessee. You got

940
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 1: to do what I ask. Okay, that's what I want.

941
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 2: Now.

942
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 1: If you don't want any part of this, that's cool.

943
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: But if you say you're for the boys, don't you

944
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 1: have to addhere to what being for the boys is

945
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 1: all about. That's my understanding of how they run things

946
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: over there. Maybe that's not how they run things over there.

947
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: You know, maybe maybe they're really not about that life.

948
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 2: But I heard they are. So we'll see. My balls

949
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 2: are in your court. I await your response. Let's move along.

950
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: We had a question from a friend of the program,

951
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 1: Lawrence in Greensboro, North Carolina, said, do you think Bill

952
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 1: Belichick will actually ever win at North Carolina? Okay, I

953
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 1: avoid these kinds of questions like the plague, but that's

954
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: kind of hypocritical because I'm answering this on the show.

955
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 1: But here's what I mean. Lawrence said, do you think

956
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 1: he's gonna win? Well, Lawrence got to define what you

957
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: mean by that. You mean he's he ever gonna win

958
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: a game? Well, certainly he will. Will he win a

959
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,280
Speaker 1: few games, of course he will. That's not what people

960
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,879
Speaker 1: are asking Lawrence. If I am to interpret what you're

961
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 1: saying there. What I think you're saying.

962
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 2: Is is Bill Belichick gonna win?

963
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 1: More like, is he gonna win on the level it

964
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 1: takes to make the playoff, compete with Clemson, you know,

965
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: compete to win the ACC championship.

966
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 2: Well, no, I don't think he is.

967
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: I don't think he is at all, And I don't

968
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: think he should be expected to. Now, you could shoot

969
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: back at me and you could say, hey, Bill, you

970
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:35,760
Speaker 1: could shoot back at me and you could say, well,

971
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: he's being paid what ten million dollars a year?

972
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 2: Yes, he should be expected to win. I don't care

973
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 2: how much they pay him.

974
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 1: I'm going based off what North Carolina as a program

975
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: has been capable of. You know, this place last won

976
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:51,359
Speaker 1: ten or more games in twenty fifteen, and before that

977
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: it was nineteen ninety seven.

978
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 2: So you don't do this typically at North Carolina.

979
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 1: Oh, Josh, I'm speaking for some of you. What you

980
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 1: don't know is they're about to run the thirty third

981
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 1: NFL franchise there. That's what they're saying. That's kind of

982
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 1: the you know, the messaging. That's the concept, we're going

983
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 1: to be the thirty third NFL team. They can't say

984
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 1: that publicly for legal reasons, but that's the messaging, that's

985
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 1: the general concept.

986
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 2: Okay, well, no you're not. No they're not. That sounds good,

987
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 2: No they're not.

988
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 1: I don't think this is going to be a great,

989
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: big success for all the people talking about how much

990
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's about to teach college football. I'm of the

991
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,280
Speaker 1: opinion college football may be about to teach Bill Belichick

992
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: a lot more than he's gonna teach college football. Because

993
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 1: you may think, well, dude, if you were if you

994
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: mastered the pro game for all those years, if you

995
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 1: and I believe this, if you are good enough where

996
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: you could be a position coach in any room in

997
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 1: the organization, then certainly college football shouldn't be a great,

998
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 1: big challenge for you.

999
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,359
Speaker 2: Well, from a.

1000
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,919
Speaker 1: Strict coaching the game perspective, it won't be, guys, really good.

1001
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 1: That is not the name of the game in college football.

1002
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: The name of the game is getting players in college football,

1003
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 1: and I don't think they're going to do that enough

1004
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 1: to be able to.

1005
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:09,879
Speaker 2: Compete and win. And here's the other part of that.

1006
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: Belichick's the oldest head coach in college football right now.

1007
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,879
Speaker 1: He's seventy three years old. Put another way, he's older

1008
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: than any three of his com Let me do the math. Yeah,

1009
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: he's older than any three of his players combined, unless

1010
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:27,320
Speaker 1: they got some super super super seniors on that team.

1011
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 2: Now, that's not the end all be all.

1012
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 1: I mean Saban was in his seventies and went to

1013
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: the semi finals in the playoff before he retired.

1014
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,280
Speaker 2: He was also a lifer in college football.

1015
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,359
Speaker 1: You're jumping into college football right now for the first

1016
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 1: time as a head coach in your early seventies.

1017
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 2: You know next to nothing about the inner workings of

1018
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 2: the sport.

1019
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,839
Speaker 1: The sport of football, you got that one pretty well

1020
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: figured out. But the business side, the machinations, if you will,

1021
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: of college football.

1022
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 2: This like a hurricane you're jumping into.

1023
00:50:57,560 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: And look, if you grew up on the Gulf Coast,

1024
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter you know a thing or two about hurricanes.

1025
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's like from Juneo, Alaska, jumping into a hurricane

1026
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 1: for the first time. They don't even know how to

1027
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:08,800
Speaker 1: spell hurricane where he's from.

1028
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 2: Well, likewise, with college football.

1029
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:16,720
Speaker 1: The way this sport works is not easy to figure

1030
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: out if you've never done it before, especially if you're

1031
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: in your seventies. And you spend a lifetime in a

1032
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: structured world. That's what the NFL is. This is not

1033
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: the NFL. And it's one of the great lies that's

1034
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: being told right now about Belichick that they keep saying, oh, man,

1035
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 1: it's a perfect time for Bill Belichick to jump into

1036
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: college football because college football is just like the NFL.

1037
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 2: Now, no, it's not. No, it's not at all.

1038
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: And you can spot the frauds that talk about this

1039
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 1: stuff by how many people keep saying, now, oh, college

1040
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 1: football is just like the NFL. Really, really is it.

1041
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: You gotta have players to win at any level of

1042
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 1: this sport, but in this level of football, you got

1043
00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: to go compete for him. You don't get to wait

1044
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 1: and draft them and then they have to come play

1045
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: for you for a minimum of four years. You got

1046
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,439
Speaker 1: to go beat Clemson for them. You gotta go beat

1047
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: Georgia because remember we're not asking if he'll make a

1048
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 1: bowl there, we're asking if he'll compete for the playoff spots. Well,

1049
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: to compete for a playoff spot, you got to be

1050
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 1: better than the other teams that are competing for playoff spots,

1051
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 1: which means you've got to beat them in recruiting, for

1052
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 1: the same pool of players you're going after.

1053
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 2: You're gonna be able to do that.

1054
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 1: Other folks in North Carolina hadn't been able to do it,

1055
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna be able to do it. So even if

1056
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: the answer is yes there, all right, well, then you

1057
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,399
Speaker 1: got to get on campus and you gotta develop them.

1058
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 1: And I've watched Bill Belichick for a long time, just

1059
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 1: like anybody else at the NFL level enjoy the ability

1060
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 1: to be able to take already developed players from the

1061
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,320
Speaker 1: college ranks and plug them into the NFL.

1062
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 2: I don't mean they don't know how to develop. Don't

1063
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 2: misunderstand me.

1064
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick has forgotten more about developing football players than

1065
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 1: I'll ever know in ten lifetimes, and I'd be foolish

1066
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: to suggest otherwise. What I'm saying is there's a big

1067
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 1: difference in the finishing touch development kind of work you

1068
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 1: have to do at the pro level versus the raw

1069
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 1: chunks of clay that you get dropped in your lap

1070
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:13,800
Speaker 1: at the college level. And remember, they're free to leave

1071
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 1: every year, So not only do you have to get them,

1072
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: you got to maintain them.

1073
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 2: Then you got to go win with them.

1074
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: North Carolina historically hasn't done that to the degree that

1075
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:27,760
Speaker 1: people are expecting him to do. And look, my belief

1076
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: is North Carolina should have pursued the face of Tarheel

1077
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:35,879
Speaker 1: football for the next five to ten years.

1078
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick is not that.

1079
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: So I looked at it like if I were a

1080
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 1: North Carolina fan, I wouldn't have liked how it went

1081
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:42,759
Speaker 1: because I would have wanted to go all in for

1082
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: like John Summroll, because I infinitely believe in him more

1083
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,439
Speaker 1: and his ability to run a program than I would

1084
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. Belichick's one of the mount Rushmore faces in

1085
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 1: the history of this sport. But for the place he's

1086
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: at right now and the task that's at right now,

1087
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 1: I don't know that he and that organization are the

1088
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,959
Speaker 1: most quipped to be able to do That could be wrong.

1089
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,280
Speaker 1: We'll see next up. I do have an update.

1090
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,839
Speaker 2: I have an update in hand about something that we

1091
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:13,799
Speaker 2: do in house. Here.

1092
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 1: We do our own strength to schedule ratings in house,

1093
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 1: and with a lot of the transfer portal closing and

1094
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:22,320
Speaker 1: the rosters being solidified.

1095
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 2: We've updated it.

1096
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 1: And I just wanted to let you know in each

1097
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:27,319
Speaker 1: of these conferences who we think has the hardest and

1098
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:31,240
Speaker 1: easiest schedule in the ACC. Syracuse has the hardest schedule

1099
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: in this conference, and it is not particularly close. I

1100
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:35,799
Speaker 1: mean we got them graded at a one oh two

1101
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 1: point five difficulty rating, just to give you an idea

1102
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 1: of how big the gap is. The next closest team

1103
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: is Clemson, and they're in the mid eighties. So Syracuse,

1104
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 1: I don't know who Fran Brown aggravated last year. Listen

1105
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 1: to these teams they play. They played Tennessee, SMU, Georgia Tech, Miami,

1106
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, Clemson.

1107
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:57,760
Speaker 2: None of them at home. Just a brutal schedule.

1108
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,280
Speaker 1: They got back to pack of road games against MYAMI

1109
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: and Notre Dame in November. So I got syrah use,

1110
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 1: I mean we got him by a mile. Having the

1111
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 1: toughest ACC schedule. The easiest North Carolina could be wake Forest.

1112
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 1: They're right there, neck and neck, but we slightly, ever

1113
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 1: so slightly have North Carolina with the easiest ACC schedule,

1114
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: and that's even with them playing TCU and UCF out

1115
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 1: of conference. They avoid four of the top five teams

1116
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 1: in the league in the preseason nods and they play

1117
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: seven teams we have rated Tier five or lower.

1118
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 2: So Bill Belichick, we were just.

1119
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:36,800
Speaker 1: Talking about him as big a question mark as I

1120
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 1: think there is on his potential there, it's the right

1121
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 1: time to take the job in the SEC. This has

1122
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 1: been back and forth. Who has the hardest schedule in

1123
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 1: the SEC this year? Either Oklahoma or Florida. With the

1124
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: updates with the rosters, ever so slightly, Florida has retaken

1125
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 1: the unenviable mantle of being the team with the toughest

1126
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:05,320
Speaker 1: schedule in the league this year at LSU at Miami,

1127
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 1: Texas at A and m versus Georgia at Ole Miss

1128
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: Tennessee Florida State. Lets give you an idea of how

1129
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 1: insanely imbalanced scheduling is in the sport right now and

1130
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 1: why I believe you are what your record says you

1131
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 1: are is the biggest lie you could ever tell.

1132
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 2: I was just talking about North Carolina. Okay, we're supposed to.

1133
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:29,880
Speaker 1: Pretend that all these teams are playing the same sport

1134
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 1: right now, and from a scheduling standpoint, they just aren't.

1135
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:34,879
Speaker 2: We looked at this.

1136
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 1: North Carolina's second toughest opponent would be Florida's ninth toughest opponent.

1137
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 1: And yet we get to the end of the year

1138
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: and if you're nine and three, you're nine and three.

1139
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: You know, it's insane. The easiest schedule in the league

1140
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:54,360
Speaker 1: is Missouri. It would still be the toughest schedule in

1141
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:56,839
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve comparatively, just give you kind of an

1142
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: idea of where they would fall. But Missouri's got a

1143
00:56:59,000 --> 00:56:59,919
Speaker 1: good draw right now.

1144
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 2: They get the three.

1145
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 1: Bottom teams in the league in terms of preseason odds.

1146
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 1: They've got Bama, A and m in South Carolina at home,

1147
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 1: and their toughest road games are at Auburn and at Oklahoma.

1148
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 1: Those are not easy places to play. But the thing

1149
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:15,920
Speaker 1: about it is those are two big wild card teams

1150
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 1: like Auburn could be very much improved, oh you could

1151
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 1: be very much improved, or they could be what they

1152
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 1: were last year, and Missouri could be sneaking around in

1153
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 1: contention to go to Atlanta and no one expected it.

1154
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 1: So another good year schedule wise for Missouri in the

1155
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: Big Twelve. Toughest schedule in the Big Twelve this year

1156
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 1: from a preseason standpoint is TCU. They got North Carolina

1157
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 1: and SMU out of conference and then they play seven

1158
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: of the top nine teams in preseason odds.

1159
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 2: In league play.

1160
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 1: So you look at the odds to win the Big

1161
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 1: twelve TCUs in the top nine. They also play seven

1162
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 1: of the other top nine, so that's not the easiest

1163
00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 1: path in the world. But speaking of easy paths, Houston Houston,

1164
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 1: there's no high level out of conference game. All due

1165
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: respect to Rice. They play the bottom four teams in

1166
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: the Big twelve preseason odds. There is no back to

1167
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 1: back road spot on this schedule. Over under win totals

1168
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 1: five and a half. Willie Fritz in a second year

1169
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 1: could be some value there. And in the Big Ten,

1170
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 1: oh prayers for Wisconsin man. Wisconsin's got the hardest schedule

1171
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten. Wisconsin by a mile has the

1172
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 1: hardest schedule in the Big Ten. It's the only Big

1173
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 1: Ten team we have ranked in the top ten toughest

1174
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 1: schedules in the country. Not only do they have this

1175
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 1: murderer's road to end the season, they go to Alabama

1176
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 1: and out of conference play, but look at the way

1177
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:49,040
Speaker 1: this ends. They start playing Michigan to start October, and

1178
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,959
Speaker 1: from that point on it's at Michigan, Iowa, Ohio State

1179
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 1: at Oregon, Washington at Indiana, Illinois at Minnesota. They may

1180
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: not be favored in any of those games, they're over

1181
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 1: under win totals five and a half. I would slightly

1182
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 1: lean the under right now, just they may be improved

1183
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 1: this year and not be able to hit that. With

1184
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 1: the schedule they play. The easiest, surprisingly is Nebraska in

1185
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 1: the Big Ten. They do play Penn State, and they

1186
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 1: do play Michigan, They do not play Ohio State, and

1187
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 1: they do not play Oregon. They get Michigan at home,

1188
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 1: they get USC at home, and they play four of

1189
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:34,640
Speaker 1: the five bottom teams in the preseason Big Ten odds.

1190
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 1: So your three matt rule, if you're looking for another

1191
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 1: reason to believe there it is. If you're looking for

1192
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 1: a reason to go drive in tonight, quick trip, quick trip,

1193
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 1: normally the reason to stop, I suggest it's the reason

1194
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 1: to go out and take a drive. Cole Brew on

1195
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 1: tap also keep you up a little bit later then

1196
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:54,919
Speaker 1: you need to. I'll be proudly partaking in that later tonight.

1197
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 1: I've got a long drive ahead of me, but a

1198
00:59:57,080 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 1: quick trip fueling us as we go all over the country.

1199
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 2: Surprisingly, don't have a location.

1200
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:06,920
Speaker 1: Down in Saint Lucia yet. I did some field research

1201
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 1: last week, so we need to work on that.

1202
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 2: We will.

1203
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, you know, if you live in Brunswick, Georgia,

1204
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 1: or if you live in where just outside Nashville. We

1205
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 1: got one quick trip. Just look for that bright QT

1206
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:23,720
Speaker 1: red sign. More and more popping up all over the

1207
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 1: landscape as we speak.

1208
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 2: Bold Prediction Season is back.

1209
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 1: Appreciate you guys watching live by the way, nice little

1210
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 1: live crowd here.

1211
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 2: Make sure you subscribe to the channel. It's free after all.

1212
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 2: Bold Prediction Season here. What do you believe? Not what

1213
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 2: I believe? What do you believe?

1214
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 1: What are you willing to state publicly? What are you

1215
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 1: willing to put your name behind?

1216
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 2: Well?

1217
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 1: First up tonight is Braden from Austin, Texas. He says,

1218
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 1: Texas wins the national title, but they don't win the

1219
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 1: SEC title. Ohio State just did this, so it's not impossible.

1220
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 1: We saw Ohio State not even play for the Big

1221
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 1: Ten title and they won it all. You know, Texas

1222
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 1: has the number one odds to win the SEC. They

1223
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 1: have the number one odds to win the whole thing,

1224
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 1: and a lot of people are upset about that.

1225
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 2: And if you are, I've got good.

1226
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 1: News for you. You can bet on Texas to miss the playoff.

1227
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that later. I'm gonna say this is

1228
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 1: a nine point twenty five on the boldness scale. Look

1229
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 1: if Texas, I mean they could go to Atlanta, lose

1230
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 1: to Georgia like they did last year, still make it

1231
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 1: in and make a run Ohio State, like.

1232
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 2: I said, just did this.

1233
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 1: This will probably coincide with arch Manning peaking late instead

1234
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 1: of early. You know, it's tough to predict outright the

1235
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:39,920
Speaker 1: exact winner of the thing. So I'm gonna put a

1236
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 1: nine point twenty five on it, but it wouldn't be

1237
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 1: crazy to see I don't think next up, this is

1238
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:48,880
Speaker 1: a nine point five here. Ohio State got a lot

1239
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:52,479
Speaker 1: of new faces around there. Max from Henderson, Kentucky said,

1240
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 1: Ohio State's gonna have two Heisman finalists.

1241
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:59,000
Speaker 2: That gets a nine point five from me. Most likely

1242
01:01:59,040 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 2: we're looking at.

1243
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 1: A quarterback wide receiver duo if this happens. So, Julian

1244
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:06,959
Speaker 1: Sayan has the sixth best odds at FanDuel right now.

1245
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 1: Jeremiah Smith has the fourth best odds to win the Heisman.

1246
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:13,760
Speaker 1: Caleb Downs could be in there, Cardinal Tate could be

1247
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 1: in there, but those are more dark horse names.

1248
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 2: These are guys that are in the top ten. You

1249
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 2: got a new offensive coordinator there, Brian Hartline.

1250
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 1: He's been there forever, but he's elevated to that position

1251
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 1: now new quarterback. Like I said in saying, does it

1252
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 1: just click immediately? Because you can't afford to be flat

1253
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:33,680
Speaker 1: for half the season and have the numbers that are

1254
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 1: necessary to have two Heisman finalists. So that's why I

1255
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 1: said it's probably a quarterback wide receiver duo. I'm gonna

1256
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 1: put a nine point five on that.

1257
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 2: That's tough to call.

1258
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 1: Next up, I wanted to put a four on this,

1259
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 1: but the staff manually overrode me. Immunity Tyler from Wheaton,

1260
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 1: Illinois said, Iowa State wins the Big Twelve.

1261
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:58,400
Speaker 2: It's well known that this is gonna happen this year.

1262
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:00,880
Speaker 1: But for the few of you there who are not

1263
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:04,280
Speaker 1: aware that Iowa State is going to win the Big Twelve,

1264
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 1: they are, and in the interest of mystery, I'm gonna

1265
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 1: put an eight point seventy five on this. They played

1266
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: in the game last year. Shockingly, I mean egregiously, They've

1267
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 1: only got the eighth best odds to.

1268
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 2: Win the league this year, so shame on FanDuel.

1269
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:25,480
Speaker 1: I think Chase Sowell is a wide receiver transfer from ECU.

1270
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 2: He needs to be a star for them this year.

1271
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:30,400
Speaker 1: I think he will be, and otherwise they got a

1272
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 1: workable schedule by Big twelve standards.

1273
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 2: I love the identity of the team. I just need

1274
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 2: him to get back there.

1275
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 1: If they get back there, I have confidence that thing

1276
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 1: really got away from him last year and we will

1277
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 1: not repeat December's mistakes of last year and last Lee.

1278
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 1: This one's really bold. This is a nine point seventy five.

1279
01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:52,920
Speaker 1: RB from Saint Louis said the winner of the Backyard

1280
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 1: Brawl will end up winning their respective conference. Really, so

1281
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:00,280
Speaker 1: that's Pitt West Virginia for the uninformed out there.

1282
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:03,120
Speaker 2: Pitt.

1283
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 1: If they win the thing, they've got the ninth best

1284
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 1: odds to win their conference. If West Virginia wins it,

1285
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 1: they got the thirteenth best odds to win the Big Twelve. Look,

1286
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:13,400
Speaker 1: neither one of these teams is winning their conference. So

1287
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:17,440
Speaker 1: this is a nine point seventy five on the boldness scale.

1288
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: I mean Pitt would be the one who's capable of it.

1289
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 1: I guess, although anything can happen in the Big twelve.

1290
01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 1: Eli Holstein some good DB's there, I guess if it

1291
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 1: all came together for Pitt. But each team has a

1292
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 1: win total of five and a half. I just don't

1293
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 1: think they're winning their conference. Even if they made a

1294
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 1: run to get to the game, they're not winning their conference.

1295
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna put a nine point seventy five on

1296
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 1: that they're watching us in a Lottles Gattos California, San Antonio, Texas,

1297
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:45,520
Speaker 1: Sumter South Carolina.

1298
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 2: Appreciate that so much. Let's move along.

1299
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 1: Hey, look, I know we're going long, but we haven't

1300
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:54,120
Speaker 1: done a show in over a week, you know, so

1301
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 1: I've also had there went another a record number of

1302
01:04:58,640 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 1: whale breaches tonight.

1303
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:03,160
Speaker 2: Be Jesus still acting up? Uh all right, so let's

1304
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:04,400
Speaker 2: get to these odds right quick.

1305
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 1: College football playoff odds are fun this time of year,

1306
01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 1: but with FanDuel releasing the updated market, we got to

1307
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:16,840
Speaker 1: talk about this because what FanDuel does every year now,

1308
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 1: which is just fascinating, is they don't just put out

1309
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:20,920
Speaker 1: odds of.

1310
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 2: Whether you're going to make the playoff or not. They

1311
01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 2: do that, but a lot of people look at odds.

1312
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 1: And they say that team's not gonna make the playoff. Well,

1313
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 1: FanDuel listened, So not only do they put odds to

1314
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 1: make the playoff, they put odds to miss the playoff.

1315
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 1: So if you hate Texas right now and you think

1316
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 1: arch Manning is the most overrated thing you know since

1317
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:43,000
Speaker 1: Vanilla dunk a Ruse, He's a dark time in my childhood,

1318
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 1: then you can go back Texas to miss the playoff.

1319
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 1: You may lose some money, but you can do it.

1320
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm looking at right now, and it

1321
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 1: paints a good picture of what the Big Ten is

1322
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: right now. Like this right here is the best odds.

1323
01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:58,480
Speaker 1: So they're showing you on the screen right now, the

1324
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:04,520
Speaker 1: best odds to make miss First up, when I looked

1325
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 1: at this the Big Ten, there's so obviously a Tier

1326
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 1: one of three teams, and then there's like one team

1327
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 1: in Tier two, and then there's a mess like jumbole

1328
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:19,240
Speaker 1: Tier three. So Ohio State, Oregon and Penn State they

1329
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 1: are the three teams that have like minus odds to

1330
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. So they are big time favorites to

1331
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 1: make the playoff. If you bet them to miss the playoff,

1332
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 1: you're getting better than one to one return on your money.

1333
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:34,320
Speaker 1: Then past that, you go a little ways and you've

1334
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 1: got Michigan sort of on an island all by themselves

1335
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:41,240
Speaker 1: in terms of like Tier two and then in Tier

1336
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 1: three like USC, Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, Iowa, and I would

1337
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:51,480
Speaker 1: count Washington there as well, all have somewhat comparable odds.

1338
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 1: There are long shots to make the playoff. You'd have

1339
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:57,520
Speaker 1: to bet a ton of money to get any return

1340
01:06:57,560 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 1: on them missing the playoff. But that's I mean, it's

1341
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 1: a very very solidly developed tier system compared to the SEC,

1342
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 1: where it's nothing like that. The depth in the SEC

1343
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 1: is just wild. USC to give you an idea, comparatively,

1344
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 1: USC had the fifth best odds in the Big ten

1345
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:22,600
Speaker 1: at plus five ninety to make the playoff. Missouri is

1346
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 1: plus five seventy to make the playoff. In the SEC,

1347
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 1: that's good for twelve. So that doesn't guarantee anything. All

1348
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 1: it does is tell you from a preseason perspective, the

1349
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:37,320
Speaker 1: odds market looks at the depth of the SEC and says, yeah,

1350
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:41,240
Speaker 1: that's next level. And from a betting perspective or just

1351
01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:46,640
Speaker 1: from like a prediction perspective, look at the top three. Texas, Georgia,

1352
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 1: Alabama are the top three in the SEC betting market.

1353
01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:52,000
Speaker 1: All of them have new quarterbacks, all of them are

1354
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 1: bottom half returning production. So that's just like blind assumption

1355
01:07:57,360 --> 01:08:00,800
Speaker 1: and it's an earned blind assumption. In many cases, those brands,

1356
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:04,440
Speaker 1: those teams just aren't gonna be bad at quarterback, their

1357
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:06,960
Speaker 1: rosters aren't gonna be bad. And then conversely you got

1358
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:11,959
Speaker 1: LSU with returning production at quarterback and Garrett Nasmayer. They're

1359
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:16,800
Speaker 1: fourth and pretty solidly fourth. So I look at that

1360
01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:19,680
Speaker 1: tier two in the SEC. I mean that things like

1361
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:24,360
Speaker 1: seven teams deep, and it's just it's like total wild

1362
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:26,840
Speaker 1: card guessing because they all got to play each other,

1363
01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:29,640
Speaker 1: well a lot of them play each other, and so

1364
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:32,120
Speaker 1: I mean there are teams there that are gonna be

1365
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:35,599
Speaker 1: sub five hundred, probably that in the preseason looked good

1366
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:39,000
Speaker 1: and come December the haters will tell you that's just

1367
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 1: because they got artificially propped up, which could be a possibility.

1368
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:44,960
Speaker 1: It also could be a possibility that they all played

1369
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:46,840
Speaker 1: each other and someone had to lose some games. That

1370
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:51,160
Speaker 1: could also be the case. In the ACC, there is

1371
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:55,680
Speaker 1: one team with minus odds, and that's Clemson. Clemson is

1372
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:58,680
Speaker 1: minus one thirty to make the playoff. Outside of that,

1373
01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 1: it's Miami, it's low, it's smu is Georgia Tech. But

1374
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: there's a top five here and there's a big drop

1375
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 1: off so Clemson, Miami, Louisville, SMU, Georgia Tech after that

1376
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 1: big drop off, and I'm glad that we got on

1377
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:15,720
Speaker 1: the Georgia Tech train a little bit ahead of time

1378
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 1: because I got some money coming in on them. Now,

1379
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:22,680
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve, is this a two bid league or what?

1380
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 1: I look at the Big Twelve this year, and I

1381
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:28,840
Speaker 1: think two of these teams can make the playoff. The

1382
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:32,680
Speaker 1: best odds in the Big Twelve is Arizona State and

1383
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:36,240
Speaker 1: they're plus four seventy. That means if you bet one

1384
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 1: hundred dollars on Arizona State to make the playoff and

1385
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:41,759
Speaker 1: they make it, it returns four hundred and seventy dollars.

1386
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:45,960
Speaker 1: So look, FANDU will notice what they're doing. But basically

1387
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:48,840
Speaker 1: what they're banking on is those are like conference championship odds.

1388
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:51,280
Speaker 1: They're banking on the Big Twelve being a one bid league,

1389
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:53,120
Speaker 1: and I think they could be a two bid league.

1390
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:55,600
Speaker 1: So I think it makes sense to bet yes on

1391
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:58,400
Speaker 1: like the top three in the Big Twelve, the teams

1392
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:02,200
Speaker 1: that I have bought. Just in the interest of full disclosure,

1393
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:06,200
Speaker 1: I took Georgia Tech to make the playoff at plus

1394
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:10,280
Speaker 1: seven sixty. I took Washington to make it at plus

1395
01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:13,000
Speaker 1: nine eighty. Please understand what I'm saying here. This is

1396
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 1: not me predicting Washington's gonna make the playoff. It's me

1397
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:18,679
Speaker 1: saying I think they have a better shot at making

1398
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:20,960
Speaker 1: the playoff than those odds would dictate.

1399
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:24,559
Speaker 2: So there's value there. I got Tennessee missing the playoff

1400
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:25,839
Speaker 2: at minus two ninety.

1401
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:28,840
Speaker 1: I think there's a little value there. I'm a little

1402
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:31,919
Speaker 1: bit lower on Tennessee than the odds. Guys are Baylor

1403
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,759
Speaker 1: to make the playoff at plus five ninety. I bought

1404
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:37,959
Speaker 1: some of that. I bought Missouri at plus five seventy

1405
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:41,559
Speaker 1: to make the playoff. I bought Georgia to miss at

1406
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:45,000
Speaker 1: plus one ninety eight. That's not me necessarily thinking Georgia

1407
01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:46,960
Speaker 1: will miss the playoff. It's me thinking Georgia's got a

1408
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:50,040
Speaker 1: really tough schedule, They're unproven at quarterback, and they play

1409
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:52,439
Speaker 1: a ton of tough teams. So they could be nine

1410
01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 1: to three and be like Bama last year and get

1411
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:58,160
Speaker 1: left out, and plus one ninety eight would return better

1412
01:10:58,160 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 1: than one to one on that bed.

1413
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:02,439
Speaker 2: So I thought there was collectively some value.

1414
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:05,600
Speaker 1: There's my little portfolio of college football playoff make and

1415
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:06,960
Speaker 1: miss Leans right now.

1416
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 2: You can bet all that.

1417
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:11,599
Speaker 1: FanDuel should have mentioned that a little bit more. FanDuel

1418
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:14,600
Speaker 1: the exclusive odds provider of the show. All of that

1419

01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 1: You can go bet it right now. If you're not

1421
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:22,320
Speaker 1: a betting man or woman, that's fine. You can go

1422
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 1: look at it if you want to. But as we

1423
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:28,400
Speaker 1: get closer to the season, that's one of the fun

1424
01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 1: things about looking at FanDuel is whether you bet or not,

1425
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 1: that it adds so much more context to the season.

1426
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 1: It used to be you just go buy a preview

1427
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:41,760
Speaker 1: magazine and that's really all you have, and like you'd

1428
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:43,320
Speaker 1: get to week one and you'd say, oh, I wonder

1429
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:45,479
Speaker 1: what the point spreads are on week one. Well, dude,

1430
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:48,439
Speaker 1: it's a totally different world we live in now. Of course,

1431
01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:50,360
Speaker 1: you've got the lines on the games that we've got

1432
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:52,320
Speaker 1: Games of the Year. You can go bet on Ohio

1433
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 1: State Michigan right now if you want to. But they've

1434
01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:59,360
Speaker 1: gotten more dynamic odds markets like that one's one of

1435
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 1: them that we were just talking about, So that's really fun.

1452
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:08,400
Speaker 1: Of course, we get to late in the show and

1453
01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:12,160
Speaker 1: we had a question about where I was last week.

1454
01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:12,920
Speaker 2: Tyler hit us up.

1455
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:14,960
Speaker 1: He said, how was the honeymoon? You must have found

1456
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:20,080
Speaker 1: a gorgeous part of Georgia. I haven't seen yet, actually

1457
01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:24,320
Speaker 1: left the state of Tennessee. Did not go vacation in

1458
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:27,000
Speaker 1: the state of Georgia. I'm not saying there's anything wrong

1459
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:31,240
Speaker 1: with honeymooning at Mountaintop End in Pine Mountain, Georgia.

1460
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:33,680
Speaker 2: Many in my social circle have done it.

1461
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:36,679
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that when I consulted with Savannah State,

1462
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:43,000
Speaker 1: she didn't necessarily want to honeymoon in Harris County or

1463
01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 1: Harrison County, where she's from in Mississippi. Little drop of

1464
01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:49,760
Speaker 1: irony there. So we went to Saint Lucia. This is

1465
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:51,360
Speaker 1: the first time I ever left the country. I don't

1466
01:13:51,360 --> 01:13:53,599
Speaker 1: know if I publicized that this is the first time

1467
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 1: I've ever left the country, A plus trip would definitely recommend. Now,

1468
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:00,679
Speaker 1: I will tell you this, this is it's a little

1469
01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:02,599
Speaker 1: bit of a flex but I don't mean it like that.

1470
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:06,240
Speaker 1: I need to tell you something for context. We get

1471
01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:08,559
Speaker 1: recognized all the time when we're on the road. Now,

1472
01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:11,240
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if we're in Seattle or Miami, New York

1473
01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:13,680
Speaker 1: or LA. We get recognized all the time. But I

1474
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:16,960
Speaker 1: thought to myself, Yeah, but college football's big, and we

1475
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:19,200
Speaker 1: got a really big college football show, so it makes

1476
01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:21,760
Speaker 1: sense that we get recognized. But if I'm going to

1477
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 1: Saint Lucia, like Soufrairi or sou Frey or however I'm

1478
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:28,559
Speaker 1: supposed to pronounce that town which is next to the resort,

1479
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:31,280
Speaker 1: I stayed at. No way people that are going to

1480
01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:35,600
Speaker 1: recognize me. But what I underestimated is like half of

1481
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:38,320
Speaker 1: the college football public was also going to be vacationing

1482
01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 1: in Saint Lucia while I was there. Do we got

1483
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:43,000
Speaker 1: recognized more there than I do in Nashville.

1484
01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:44,560
Speaker 2: It was wild.

1485
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:49,160
Speaker 1: So folks recognized my bride, not only me, they recognized her.

1486
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:53,439
Speaker 1: So that was a fun time. Unexpected, but that was

1487
01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:55,639
Speaker 1: a fun time. But it was really it was really

1488
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:58,720
Speaker 1: great trip, really great trip. I don't know if you

1489
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:02,439
Speaker 1: have ever seen the movie White Squall. It's nineteen ninety

1490
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 1: six movie. It's about a ship called the Albatross that

1491
01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:09,600
Speaker 1: sank in the nineteen sixties.

1492
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 2: Jeff Bridges stars in the movie. Good movie, sad, but

1493
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:16,320
Speaker 2: good movie. Anyway. The reason I mentioned it is because

1494
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:17,320
Speaker 2: I was watching it on the.

1495
01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:20,800
Speaker 1: Flight home, because I was in the Caribbean for the

1496
01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:22,519
Speaker 1: first time and it reminded me of the movie.

1497
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:23,960
Speaker 2: So I was watching it on the way home.

1498
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:26,799
Speaker 1: And it's lucky that I had just taken a sunset

1499
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:29,840
Speaker 1: cruise down there off the coast of Saint Lucia where

1500
01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:33,639
Speaker 1: you see the pitons which are commonly mislabeled as volcanoes,

1501
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:37,600
Speaker 1: they're actually lava domes associated with a volcano. It's like

1502
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 1: three thousand feet high of just rock.

1503
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 2: Crazy.

1504
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:45,080
Speaker 1: So the point is, I'm watching White Squall, and some

1505
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:47,200
Speaker 1: of the b roll, like some of the scenic shots

1506
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:50,280
Speaker 1: that are in that movie as they're sailing through the

1507
01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:52,720
Speaker 1: Caribbean on the way to the Colopagos Islands.

1508
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:55,479
Speaker 2: Were right there off the coast where we were.

1509
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 1: So that was a fun little side note. But we

1510
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:02,320
Speaker 1: stayed at the Sugar Beach Resort down there, and so

1511
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 1: these people are wonderful, just wonderful. Food's great, scenery is great,

1512
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:12,759
Speaker 1: weather was great. Everything was great. And got back and

1513
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:17,479
Speaker 1: you know, I look, I thought to myself, I don't

1514
01:16:17,560 --> 01:16:20,320
Speaker 1: like unknown. I don't like doing stuff for the first time.

1515
01:16:21,040 --> 01:16:23,639
Speaker 1: Vacationing for the first time somewhere is fine. Going through

1516
01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 1: customs and immigration for the first time, I wasn't looking

1517
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:29,240
Speaker 1: forward to. I got to say, I'll call tsa to

1518
01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:33,680
Speaker 1: task when I need to. But two things, in the

1519
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:36,439
Speaker 1: interest of giving the federal government an occasional pad on

1520
01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:40,559
Speaker 1: the back TSA in Nashville is always great, but these

1521
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:44,679
Speaker 1: people take it personally. And at Heartsfield it's probably because

1522
01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:46,840
Speaker 1: I was coming through at eight o'clock at night. But

1523
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:52,160
Speaker 1: Heartsfield in Atlanta, especially from the customs and immigration perspective,

1524
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:56,000
Speaker 1: is a machine. So I went from dboarding a plane,

1525
01:16:56,960 --> 01:17:01,639
Speaker 1: through customs, through immigration, through riche my bags, through regoing

1526
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 1: through security to my next gate in like twenty eight

1527
01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:05,519
Speaker 1: minutes or something like that.

1528
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:08,000
Speaker 2: So hats off.

1529
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:13,160
Speaker 1: And speaking of Atlanta Airport, one of the most embarrassing

1530
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:15,639
Speaker 1: quotes to ever come out of my mouth, but it did,

1531
01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:19,960
Speaker 1: is we were on a boat down in Saint Lucia

1532
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:26,120
Speaker 1: choppy waters, and the following sentence came out of my

1533
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:29,720
Speaker 1: mouth to one of the crew members on the boat.

1534
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:32,800
Speaker 2: They were asking, do you have your sea legs? Is

1535
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:33,800
Speaker 2: anyone getting sick?

1536
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:35,599
Speaker 1: And I said, dude, I've stood on the plane train

1537
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 1: before at Hartsfield, so I'm fine. And it is the

1538
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:44,479
Speaker 1: most ridiculous, Like it's the most ridiculous.

1539
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:45,720
Speaker 2: Sentence that could ever come out of anyone's mouth.

1546
01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 1: New York, you can make it anywhere. If you can

1547
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:07,200
Speaker 1: stand on the plane train without assistance, you can stand anywhere.

1548
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:10,840
