1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on? Everybody happy early playoffs?

2
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 1: We have the college football playoffs going. The two NFL

3
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: games had a playoff feel to it. Definitely listen if

4
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: you love football. There is nothing like whether it's Flacco, Broethlisberger,

5
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: Tommy Maddox, I don't care. Obviously, it's incredible with Lamar

6
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: and Russell and Tomlin and Harball that that was that

7
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: was awesome. The Ravens get a huge win, get a

8
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: huge win. And I would say Lamar as Steve Young

9
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: once looked at Gary Plummer that he could not beat

10
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and he finally did. Now this that was

11
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: to get him to the Super Bowl, and Steve said,

12
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: take the monkey off my back, and that's what happened

13
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: to ay. Lamar was awesome. And I still think he's

14
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: got an uphill battle to win the MVP because of

15
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: the momentum, but awesome performance. Beside the one pass which

16
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: might not have been his fault. The Ravens get a

17
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,639
Speaker 1: big win. I do want to die. I thought today

18
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs and the Ravens, it was just a

19
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: display of the front offices. On top of obviously, you know,

20
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: two of the best quarterbacks. I don't know we've seen

21
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 1: in recent memory. But the Texans, you know, well Steelers first,

22
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: we'll dive into them. The Texans. Obviously, the Tank Dell injury,

23
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: who was playing, I mean, he looked awesome, was was

24
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: pretty tough to watch. And the emotions of c. J.

25
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: Stroud crying and all their comments after the game, so man,

26
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: that was that was tough. Clearly it was not a

27
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: good injury because he went right to the trauma center.

28
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: He's not even flying back with the team. So we'll

29
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: keep our fingers crossed that you know, his everything's gonna

30
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: be okay. Big picture, obviously his season is over, but

31
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: you know, both all four of these teams, you can

32
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: take a deep breath, slam some Gatorades, and get right

33
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: back on the horse because you're playing in four days

34
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: here on Christmas. So before we dive in to a

35
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,399
Speaker 1: little NFL football, listen, Christmas right around the corner, Honukkah.

46
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: I just the physicality, the violence, how important every play felt.

47
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: Sign me up for Pittsburgh Steelers in Baltimore Ravens till

48
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: I die. That that feels as good as it gets.

49
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: That is as good as the NFL has to offer.

50
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: The tangible hatred and venom that it feels like the

51
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: two teams have for each other, both of them there.

52
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: Their core guys are just such tough, physical players, the

53
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: violence guys play with on defense, just the overall up

54
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: until the last once the game got a little out

55
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: of control, once rush through the pick six, but up

56
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: till then, you're just on the edge of your seat,

57
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: even when one team you know, looked like the Steelers

58
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: were gonna pull ahead early and then Russ fumbles late.

59
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: Lamarshrow is the pick You think the Steelers have a

60
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: chance it is. It is fantastic television, you know, for

61
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: as crappy. We'll see how Ohio State in Tennessee goes tonight.

62
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: But for as good as or as bad as those

63
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: college games have been, that that game was riveting. That

64
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: was That's why I watch Football's why I talk about football.

65
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: So congrats to AFC North Football. Now we need to

66
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: give this guy some props because he's taken a lot

67
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: of shit. He's an incredible player. He's one of the

68
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: most versatile players we've ever seen in the history of

69
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: the NFL. And you could argue he's having his best

70
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: season ever and the guy's got two MVPs. But he's

71
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: had something that he hasn't been able to overcome. He

72
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: has not played well against the Chiefs and obviously has

73
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: not played well against the Steelers, even though in this

74
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: weird twist because of some injuries and some Week eighteen

75
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: clinch games doesn't matter. He hasn't played the Steelers that

76
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: many times at home. I thought today he was brilliant

77
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: and it shows you you can't box scor scout you

78
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: know players in football. You got to watch the game.

79
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: He has games statistically that blow this thing out of

80
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: the water. But you know one thing that I think

81
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: over the course of his career, when he he played

82
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: last year the Chiefs in the AFC Championship or early

83
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: this earlier this year against you know, the Steelers, is

84
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: like he freaks out and he gets really frenetic that

85
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't do against these random teams when he's just

86
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: blowing their doors off. And today you saw the guy

87
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: that you see against the New York Giants in these

88
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: random teams, completely poised, completely under control. The Steelers do

89
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: a really good job of corralling Lamar in the run game,

90
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: but the Steelers have issues on their secondary and he

91
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: eviscerated them in big spots. Obviously the touchdown throws. He

92
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: had a fantastic touchdown throw to Bateman in the court

93
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: of the end zone. You know, Mark Andrews wide open,

94
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: hits them with ease, some awesome throws as they flowers.

95
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: I thought he was brilliant today, and he was if

96
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: he plays like that in these big games, because he's

97
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: kind of gotten to this point where he's just gonna

98
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: be judged on big games, in the playoff games, like

99
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: his stats speak for themselves. He's like already a Hall

100
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: of Famer just from an eye test standpoint. He's got

101
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: to be you know, the most electric player I think

102
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: in like the history of the NFL, but today, like

103
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: that's winning high level football and this is something that,

104
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: like the conversation is in the narratives and that stuff,

105
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,239
Speaker 1: it doesn't change until you do it. And to play

106
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: like he did today, you know, because part of the

107
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: way he dominates, right, he has become And even Brady

108
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: said it today. I thought Brady had a good broadcast.

109
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: But Brady's kind of coming into his own is Their

110
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: passing game has taken a big step in terms of

111
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: the complexity to it. But like where Lamar is an

112
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: unstoppable force is where he's running around on you and

113
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: then you start freaking out and then it becomes much

114
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: easier to pass well. One thing the Steelers clearly focus

115
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: in on is we're not gonna let the guy run wild,

116
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: Like if Derek Hendery's gonna beat us, then he's gonna

117
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: beat us. And he did, but they do not. They

118
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,119
Speaker 1: corral Lamar pretty well and it didn't phaze him today.

119
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: And obviously it helps with Derrick Henry going nuts. But

120
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: to me, his calmness, how poised he was, and his

121
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: accuracy down the field beside the one pass, which you know,

122
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: who knows, maybe if you're sitting there with Munkin and

123
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: Bateman and Lamar, maybe it's not totally on Lamar. But

124
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,679
Speaker 1: regardless that pick, in that spot, you're only up a touchdown,

125
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: you have the chance to kind of put him away.

126
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: Felt like it could swing the game. And then Russell's like, well,

127
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to make a pass that is fifty times

128
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: worse than that one, and listen, that's a fantastic win,

129
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: a fantastic performance by their offense. And I think one

130
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: big difference last year to this year offensively for him.

131
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: Obviously Andrews back from the hip drop tackle that knocked

132
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: him out, he looks really good. Zay Flowers has taking

133
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: another step for them. You know, the ability obviously to

134
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: stretch the field on the outside, but they can work

135
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: him over the middle. He's pretty strong for a small guy.

136
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: You saw, you know, late in the game breaking that tackle.

137
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: He's added an element they haven't had. They drafted Bateman

138
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: I think in the first whatever a long time ago,

139
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: and you know, early on it was like, I don't

140
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: know if this is working. They just kept developing them,

141
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: kept developing them, and he's become you know, a really

142
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: solid player for them. But you get this type performance

143
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: from Lamar, like like that's that's what everyone is, you know,

144
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: get so down on him about the playoffs. Is like

145
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: the calm, cool, collected like I'm going to dominate this

146
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: game if I have to as a passer because I

147
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: can't run it. And because the Steelers they have so

148
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: much team speed on the outside with their pass rushers,

149
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: and they're just they're good at playing them. Obviously, they're

150
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: much more comfortable because they see him twice a year,

151
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: they see him on cross tape all the time. He's

152
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: just a huge part in their building like that. They're

153
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: not intimidated by playing him a lot like the Chiefs.

154
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: And he made him pay today, you know with his arms,

155
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: So big boy performance from you know, one of if

156
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: not you know, on a given week, the best player

157
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And you know, I think big picture

158
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: for today, I thought the front offices of Brett Veach

159
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: and Decost and the Ravens and the Chiefs really shined.

160
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: You know. I think you see Derek Henry, like they

161
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: got the guy for nine million dollars guaranteed, and he's

162
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: easily been him and Saquon two of the best signings

163
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: in recent memory. The guy's gonna rush for like seventeen

164
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: eighteen hundred yards and he's a big game player, bright lights,

165
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: guy who can, who has thrived against the best teams

166
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: it has passed in playoff games. So you think he's

167
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: gonna be intimidated against the Steelers. I mean, he was awesome.

168
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: And you know that we've been saying for a long time.

169
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: Like you know, the Ravens, he doesn't have a good

170
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: enough pass offense. He doesn't have a good enough weapons

171
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: like that's a Flowers pick last year. That dude's that

172
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: dude's a fucking baller, he really is. And on the

173
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: flip side, like the Chiefs, like obviously both these two

174
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: teams go as their quarterback goes. Just you know, they're

175
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: obviously really really good defenses and the Ravens are playing

176
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: much better in the back end. And it shows you

177
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: when you have stability and you have a front office

178
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: who is not living and dying on a weekly basis,

179
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: on a yearly basis, you have a coach and you

180
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: have a GM that are just gonna be there for

181
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: a long time, that you don't overcorrect or panic and

182
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: early on Zach Orr, which is a crazy story, right

183
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: he had the devastating injury. I remember scouting him when

184
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: when I was in the league. I mean, he was

185
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: a really good player when their defenses were really good.

186
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: And like ray Lewis had ree days and has his

187
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: career shut short short gets into the you know, the

188
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: coaching world, and early on it looked like, God, this

189
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: is not working out, especially because of the guy he

190
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 1: was replacing. And now they make the move they put

191
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton back in the secondary, which obviously played a

192
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: huge role today when they go forward on fourth and

193
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: five or fourth and six, which I'm fine with going

194
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: for at midfield, because the Steelers have not covered anybody

195
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: all day long, and really the last two weeks they've

196
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: been getting tried. Their secondary right now is a major problem.

197
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: And Brady goes, you know, I'd probably punted here. I'm

198
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: a little more conservative, but I don't like this play.

199
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: It's like, Tom, this Pittsburgh defense is not playing like

200
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh defense that we talked about, like the first

201
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: nine or ten games. Injuries, but that they're just not

202
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: covering anybody. You cannot feel comfortable that you're gonna get

203
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: stops against Lamar Jackson. And Derek Henry. I'm all for

204
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 1: going for it, but then when you go for it,

205
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: it's one thing when it's fourth and fifteen and you're

206
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: kind of desperate, it's like, yeah, there's not that many

207
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: plays that you feel good about, But when it's fourth

208
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: and five or six, I need several routes that are

209
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: seven eight yards to give my quarterback a chance and

210
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: to run Austin who looks awesome down the middle of

211
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: the field. And you got Kyle Hamilton, who they basically

212
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: moved to the deep safety where early in the season

213
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: he was playing like a linebacker. It's like, I don't

214
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: love that, Like, I'm not on board with that play call.

215
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm on bordled the decision because I think it was

216
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: clear the way the game was trending, like you got

217
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: to be aggressive there because you're not stopping anybody. But

218
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: I just hate the decision of throwing a bomb on

219
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: a you know, a play that's not fourth and twenty,

220
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: Like what are we doing? And as you saw at first,

221
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: you're like, ah, did that was out a PI? Now?

222
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: I was like, never had a shot. Kyle Hamilton's huge,

223
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: Austin smaller, plus like he probably easily could have picked it.

224
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: If they throw that ball ten times, I bet Kyle

225
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: Hamilton picks it six or seven times. So it listen.

226
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: For as good as controlled Lamar was today, Beside the

227
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: one pick, Russell had two plays that really and I

228
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: didn't think Russell was that bad, but he had two

229
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: plays that cost his team fourteen points early on in

230
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: this game. You know, Russell, when he first came in

231
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: the league, the Niners were at the peak of their

232
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: powers with Jim Harbaugh from a defensive standpoint, and that

233
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: game was a bloodbath. Now it's probably been a one,

234
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: you know, playing in Denver and then even at the

235
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: end of Seattle. He's not used to those bloodbath games.

236
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: Or maybe he's just I don't know, just throwback thought

237
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 1: he could. Didn't see a guy thought he could be

238
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: aggressive in a game like today. I think you got

239
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: to be pretty conservative when you see defenders coming up

240
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: to you that you're not playing the Giants here, you're

241
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: not playing the Jags. You are playing eleven guys who

242
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: will fucking destroy you, who want to inflict pain on you.

243
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: And he got like, I think he got a little cocky.

244
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: And even Jimmy Johnson at Halftimes like you gotta get

245
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: down and he gets hit, the ball comes out, it's

246
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: at like the three or two yard line, it's seven

247
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: to seven. If the Steelers score there, it's fourteen points.

248
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: Instead he fumbles, the Ravens drive right down the field

249
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: and score a touchdown. I mean that's a fourteen point swing.

250
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: And then the pick six, like you get a huge

251
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: pick for Minka to give you some life and give

252
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: you an opportunity down a touchdown. And they've been running

253
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: those boots and rollouts all game long, and he'd been

254
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: pretty good. But that throw wasn't even close. He hit

255
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: Humphrey and Scripe. I mean he hit him. He hit

256
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 1: him in the stomach, and obviously he's getting hit. He's

257
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: thrown it a little bit behind him. But you either

258
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: got to eat it throw it away. You cannot make

259
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: that mistake there. It cannot happen, not in a game

260
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: of this magnitude, not in a situation like that. And listen,

261
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to just dump on the guy like

262
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: he's some scrub. He has been dramatically better than we

263
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: all thought. If you're a person acting like you knew

264
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson was still a solid starter I'm sorry. I

265
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: think you were on an island that there is not

266
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: many people that were saying that, and how could you

267
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: if you've watched him play, he has been pretty good.

268
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: But those two plays today had a big, big reason

269
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: for that team losing. Now. I think also the Steelers,

270
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: like the Ravens, have really kind of corralled their defense.

271
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: They've been good against the run all season long, but

272
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: the pass defense just feels a little more stable because

273
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: early on in the season it was like, you cannot

274
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl or even compete to win a

275
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl if you can't cover anybody. And clearly they're

276
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: much better. They hit a couple passes to day one.

277
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: Austin just made a great play down the sideline, but

278
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: the Hamilton move has changed them. You just can't make

279
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: that play, you really can. And Russell for as awesome

280
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: and some of the great plays Lamar made. Those two

281
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: plays with Russell Wilson are gonna be hard to stomach.

282
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: But you know, offensively, they're just not as explosive without

283
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: George Pickens, and defensively they're a shell of themselves. I mean,

284
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: how many times and it even goes back to the

285
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: Philly game, right Aj Brown, DeVante Smith today, Zay Flowers,

286
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews, Lively, these guys are wide open. It's like,

287
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: you can't part of the Steelers formula was gonna be

288
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: to compete in the playoffs against the Ravens, against the Bills,

289
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: and against the Chiefs, were like, you know what we're

290
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: gonna be, if not the best defense in the league,

291
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: one of the best. Obviously they have a fantastic defensive line.

292
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: They got bodies after bodies, But if your secondary can't

293
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: a soul, and right now they cannot. Obviously they've had

294
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: some injuries, but you got CAZy looking all over the place.

295
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: I mean, the Andrews touchdown was stealing candy from a

296
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: baby that I listen. I'm not saying I'm like in

297
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: on Lamar to now I feel more confident because I

298
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: couldn't have felt much more confident last year going in.

299
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: But today, if you're a Ravens fan, makes you feel

300
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: pretty good. I'm out on the Steelers because you just

301
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: can't play defense like that. You cannot play pass defense

302
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: where you can't cover people and have a shot in

303
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs. It's just not possible. Not against Patrick Mahomes,

304
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, because that's the crew of

305
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: guys you're going through to win games in the second,

306
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: in the third round, right the divisional round, in the

307
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: conference championship game. So Steelers, they shocked a lot of us,

308
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: but it feels like at the wrong time, the wheels

309
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: are kind of coming off. And that was that was

310
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: a big boy win by the Ravens. And I think

311
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: one of those where it's like you're kind of licking

312
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: your wounds. Now all of a sudden, you're playing the

313
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: Chiefs in whatever seventy two or I guess a little

314
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: more than that, with seventy two plus twenty, that'd be

315
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: ninety ninety six hours. You're playing the Chiefs in ninety

316
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: six hours, a team that's fourteen and one, that has

317
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: back to back defending champions and I thought played one

318
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: of their better games of the season today. That's who

319
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: you get, and their passing games kind of coming alive,

320
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: like I don't know. And then the Ravens now, obviously

321
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: the Steelers are at home and the Ravens are on

322
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: the road, but they're getting the Texans, who just had

323
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: one of their most talented young players on the team.

324
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: Look like it's Lake snapped. And this is back to

325
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: back years for Tank Dell, who it just hurts your

326
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: heart to see a guy. Last year it was I

327
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: think week eleven he had his leg shattered, right, he

328
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: had a broken leg in the end zone. Today, I

329
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: think it might even be worse. And all these guys

330
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,719
Speaker 1: are in tears, pretty rattled, and now the Ravens get them,

331
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: so this could flip fast all of a sudden. The Ravens,

332
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: you know, are the three seed and you are just

333
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: leaking oil. Who knows, maybe you're not even a lock

334
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: to be the five seed at this point in time.

335
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: The Chargers finish with the Patriots and the Raiders like

336
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: they got two more wins, like they're gonna win eleven games.

337
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: I think if you're a Steeler fan, you gotta be

338
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: pretty rattled right now, and if you're a Ravens fan,

339
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: you gotta feel pretty good. It's the most wonderful time

340
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: of year for getting in on all the hoops, football,

Speaker 1: And the other game. Like I said, the organizational Wednesday,

369
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: I mean the Ravens, how well they've done built the

370
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: team around them are You know, have a guy in

371
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: Zach Orr who had mentored under Harball under Mike McDonald

372
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: reminds me a little of Demico when they elevated him

373
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 1: to be the defensive coordinator after Robert Sola left. You

374
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: have a guy you're comfortable with, you believed in, You

375
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: let him go through the growing pains, and now he's

376
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 1: coming into his own and the Chiefs like one thing

377
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: that stok out to me obviously, Mahomes, I don't know

378
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: understand how the guy can have an injury where he

379
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 1: looks like it's just he's gonna miss a month and

380
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: then come back the next week on a short week

381
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: and not only look completely normal, but like look Spry

382
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: looked like he shows no signs he's got to have.

383
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: You know, Brady forever talked about pliability. I don't know

384
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: what the hell he's doing. Clearly, He's not a big

385
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: lifter with with the Dad Bod, but his flexibility is

386
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: second to none and was off someday he's building a

387
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: rapport with Worthy. But think about Chris Jones. They made

388
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: a pretty big decision a couple of years ago, which

389
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: most teams would not have done. When you have a

390
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill in the peak of their powers, how many

391
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: of these teams are like extending wide receivers at these

392
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: crazy numbers. And they said, you know what, We're gonna

393
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: double down on Chris Jones and we're going to trade

394
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. And that move changed their whole franchise because

395
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: it not just traded Tyreek Hill and freed up the

396
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: money to put other spot. They ended up getting Trent

397
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: McDuffie because of it, who is obviously one of the

398
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: best defensive backs in the NFL. And in that draft

399
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: they also got Korlovskis, So they got two guys who

400
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 1: are you know, stone cold killers and could play for

401
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: every team in the league and are just awesome winning

402
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: players out of that draft as they pivot, and then

403
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: they had the money to give Chris Jones, who, like

404
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: they mentioned today on the broadcast, he told us in

405
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: the production meeting, Like, listen, my stats aren't as good

406
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: this year as some previous years. I'm getting double team

407
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 1: more than ever, and I think I'm playing better never

408
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,959
Speaker 1: and all my guys around me are eating Like you

409
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: just watch them today. You're like, this guy's an unstoppable

410
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: force and clearly he's a bright lights guy. The bigger

411
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: the game, the bigger the opponent. You know, today, Christmas

412
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs, like better watch out for that fucking guy

413
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: and look get Worthy. It's like, of course the Chiefs

414
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: got Worthy and early on it. There's some takes some

415
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: time to get a rapport with Mahomes. It feels like

416
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: they're kind of coming into their own. They still miss

417
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 1: a couple times, but I think Worthy. I mean, this

418
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: is the worst he's gonna be for them. Just get

419
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: ready next year. He's going to look dramatically better in

420
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: this operation. And then in the middle of the season

421
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: they're kind of desperate for some help. They trade for

422
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: one of the best wide receivers of his generation. I

423
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: get him a little older and today, I mean, how

424
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: many big third downs dies DeAndre Hopkins have. It's like

425
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: this team that there's a physicality of the Chiefs that

426
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: I would say, early on in the era, clearly they

427
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: didn't have and now defensively they're just so good. They're

428
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: coordinator and the advantage they have of Spags not being

429
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: a threat to go anywhere. It's like you could argue

430
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: they have the best defensive coordinators not a head coach

431
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And he's never gonna leave. He's probably

432
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: just gonna retire when Andy retires, they just get to

433
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: keep him like he's not even gonna get interviews for

434
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: head coaching. Joe. There was a play today, I think

435
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: it might have been on the second to last drive

436
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: for the Texans, and he called the blitz, and his

437
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: blitzes so often hit perfectly. They were in like a

438
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: bunch formation. He blitzed the corner off the edge and

439
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: before you could even blink, the guy was all over c. J. Strout.

440
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: It's just their cohesion on defense as a unit, even

441
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: and they've lost guys this year, is just fantastic. And

442
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 1: their team speed is excellent on defense. And if Mahomes

443
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: is gonna play like that today, it makes you think

444
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 1: if this team gets the number one seed, which I

445
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: don't know how you would bet against them to get

446
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: the number one seed, I'd be stunned if they lose

447
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: Thursday night, even though it's a short week, or Wednesday

448
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: night on Christmas, or I guess Wednesday as a road

449
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: team to the Steelers, like someone's going into Arrowhead and

450
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: beating them. Obviously, it's possible. It's football. We've seen it

451
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: happen before. Joe Burrow did. But as you know, last

452
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: year and listen, I was guilty, like I was betting

453
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 1: against it. I literally did, and I got bit in

454
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: the ass twice. AFC Championship Game, Super Bowl. Who's doing

455
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 1: that this year? Not a soul? How could you? That

456
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 1: team is so good at home that place, every player,

457
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: every coach, and every human being that walks into Arrowhead,

458
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: however many people it fits, seventy thousand, there's not one

459
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: human being that is wearing red that for one second

460
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: believes they're losing. I don't think any other franchise can

461
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: say that right now, not any other franchise in the NFL.

462
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: Before kickoff, when everyone's in their seat, when everyone's on

463
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: the sideline, there is not a soul in the stadium,

464
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: on the team, on the coaching staff, or one second

465
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 1: thinks they're gonna lose, and the belief they have. What

466
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: they're accomplishing right now is just insane. I think I

467
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: saw I saw someone tweet they had never won thirteen

468
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: games in the history of the franchise and they'd only

469
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 1: been to like the conference championship one time in like

470
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 1: fifty years, and now they look destined to be for

471
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: their like seventh or eighth straight conference championship. They've won

472
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: fourteen games for the third time in the Mahomes era.

473
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: What last year and I think everyone said this, like

474
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: last year was the year to get them, and then

475
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: because this year it's been weird. They playing a lot

476
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: of close games. Yeah, they're comfortable doing that. And guess what, Yeah,

477
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: their games are close. They literally win them all. They

478
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: win all of them. So it's like, would you rather, yeah,

479
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 1: playing some blowouts, but I also don't and I'm ten

480
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: and seven where it's like, yeah, basically all of our

481
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: games were close and we went sixteen to one. I'll

482
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: choose that. Oh yeah, we probably have, you know, when

483
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: it's all said and done. I don't know if I

484
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 1: eclipse Brady, but probably the best or one of the

485
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: best quarterbacks of all time and a guy that looks

486
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: destined if he just coaches for three or four more

487
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: years to not only pass Belichick but passed Shula as

488
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: the all time winning as coach. And we have one

489
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: of the best home field advantages in the history of

490
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: football college and NFL included, so good luck, and we

491
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: have a fantastic defense. And Butker's back now looks like

492
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: he's getting his confidence. So I thought that was a really,

493
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: really impressive win because the one thing when he played

494
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: the Texans that aren't as good as we thought they

495
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: were going to be. They're a hard hitting, physical team,

496
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: and today was I mean, they lost Jimmy Ward got

497
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: carted off. Obviously, Tank Dale got carted off. It does

498
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: feel I mean, they won the division. They're going to

499
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: host a playoff game, but depending on who they play.

500
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I would imagine that most people are gonna

501
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 1: bet on the Ravens this c upcoming, and I'd be

502
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,479
Speaker 1: a little stunned at this point if if Houston can

503
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: beat them, that all of a sudden, you're looking, well

504
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: at a Houston team just kind of limping into the

505
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: playoffs that kind of have a one and done field

506
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: to them written all over them, and you know, we'll

507
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: see how this plays out. But I think there's a

508
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: decent chance Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers could be playing

509
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: them in that four or five matchup. So you know,

510
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: I came in I think when the when the schedule

511
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 1: broke and we found out the college football playoffs were

512
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: gonna be I would say overshadowed a little bit by

513
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: the NFL. I was like, you know, do we have

514
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: to do this? And clearly, you know, I think at

515
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: this point in time, the NFL isn't playing on Christmas

516
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,239
Speaker 1: as an few to the NBA. The NBA is it

517
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: has no impact on them at this point. I mean,

518
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: they stole Christmas. They would steal any day if they

519
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: play games on that day. They could be going up

520
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: against mister Beast, they could be going up against whatever

521
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: the popular it doesn't matter. They will dominate. But I'm

522
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: kind of glad they were on today because they helped

523
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: me get through some of the college games. I guess

524
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 1: the Texas and Clemson game was good, and we'll do

525
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: me and Jackson will do a video later at night

526
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: on all the college games. But I enjoyed that. And

527
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: like I said earlier, you put Steelers Ravens on my television,

528
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 1: whether it's Saturday, whether it's Tuesday night morning. I don't care.

529
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: I am watching, and I think now we'll see Denver

530
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: the Chargers. I think they could win a playoff game. Obviously,

531
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: they're both gonna be on the road. Denver still has

532
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: got to take care of business against the Bengals here

533
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: in a week, but just to solidify their spot after

534
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: losing the Chargers. But I'm pretty confident that the Chargers

535
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: and the Broncos are gonna be I could see them

536
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: having an upset depending on who they play, but could

537
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: also see them both losing. I think the AFC is

538
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: pretty clear. I mean, we got a three horse race, Chiefs,

539
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: the Bills, and the Ravens. And I think the problem

540
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: for the Bills and the Ravens is they gotta go

541
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: to Airhead and like I said back, which we already know,

542
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: no one will be attending that game, starting with Mahomes

543
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: and starting with Andy, that's gonna believe they're gonna lose.

544
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: And there's not gonna be a Bills fan or Ravens fan,

545
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: even Josh Sean McDermott, Lamar and John Harbaugh that are like,

546
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: can we actually do this? Doesn't mean they can't, but

547
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: it's just we saw it last year when they fucking

548
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: both hosted them. They lost both games. So in this

549
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,479
Speaker 1: Chiefs team, now they're getting their stride a little bit.

550
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't know, I like them a lot

551
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: more now after today and really the last couple of

552
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: weeks going into the playoffs than we all did last

553
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: year after that Raider game, and then they found a

554
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: way to do it on the road. Now they don't

555
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: have to travel, and you're gonna give them a bye week.

556
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: So older players like Chris Jones and Travis Kelcey and Mahomes.

557
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: You know he's under thirty. I think he's twenty nine

558
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: years old, but just get that week to kind of

559
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: take a de breath. I don't know, man, this I'm

560
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: a big believer that dynasties are good for sports. I mean,

561
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: we've seen it in the NBA, like they would die

562
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: to have a dynasty right now. I mean, the Warriors

563
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: were good for the NBA. The Yankees dynasty in the

564
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: late nineties was great for baseball. The Patriots dynasty for

565
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: twenty years, give or take, was fantastic for the National

566
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: Football League. So having a team that everyone's chasing, whether

567
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,719
Speaker 1: you love them or you hate him. You have an

568
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: opinion about him, and that's the worst thing you can

569
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: have in sports when you're just when apathy sets in

570
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: and you just do not care. And I've seen it.

571
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: I remember doing a radio show in the Bay when

572
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: Jim tom Sewell was there. People just like I can't

573
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: even pretend to care. I'm sure Giants fans know like I,

574
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: you know, you just I can't watch Daniel Jones like

575
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: I cannot watch whoever the quarterback is de veto making

576
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: lasagna or Drew Locke, like this just sucks. It doesn't

577
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: get any worse than this. But every Giants fan has

578
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: a on the Chiefs, and everyone's either rooting for them

579
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,239
Speaker 1: to like I kind of enjoy watching greatness, or I'm

580
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: rooting for them to lose. But guess what, everyone's paying attention. Okay,

581
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: now we're going to talk a little college football with

582
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: my main man, Jackson, which might have been one of

583
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: the biggest dud opening playoff scenarios in the history of America.

584
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: But we spent hours watching the game, so let's dive

585
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: into them. Okay, I had to put a page for

586
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: you younger listeners. We have no clue what that is.

587
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: A text message and email, snapchat, and let's say, Jackson,

588
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: we've been watching football for the last twenty four hours,

589
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: your Notre Dame Irish one, we need to talk some ball.

590
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: Even if it's safe to say it didn't quite go

591
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: as planned. But one thing that hit me as Ohio

592
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: State absolutely, I mean that I didn't quite see that coming.

593
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: That was impressive. We will give Ryan Day and the

594
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,719
Speaker 1: boys their flowers. One thing that makes Ohio State fans very,

595
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: very angry as every game they have is you know,

596
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: in the morning and you watch it tonight, you're like, yeah,

597
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: this place is pretty bad ass to die. The place

598
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: was rocking. So Jackson and I are you still on

599
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: cloud nine? You're Notre Dame Irish and mister college football.

600
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: This kind of sucked a little bit. Kind of sucked.

601
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm fifty to fifty on it because you know,

602
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 3: he had so much anticipation heading in and South Bench

603
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,479
Speaker 3: showed up last night, then obviously winning that game. I

604
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 3: know it was a boring game for most people, but

605
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 3: for me as a Notre Dame fan.

606
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: I was happy. My heart rate was steady throughout the game.

607
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 3: After it was fourteen zero and you saw more gold

608
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 3: Helmets pushing back Hoosier's helmets versus the other way around.

609
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 3: And then today, man, you just it's just I don't

610
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:51,959
Speaker 3: know what it is.

611
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: You're right.

612
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 3: I think we talked about before the home field advantage

613
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 3: is such a big advantage, and you got the cold

614
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 3: weather involved in it.

615
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: And then you're right about Ohio State.

616
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 3: The whole talk about that was even a game day,

617
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 3: Tennessee fans showing out. They had like thirty thou forty

618
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 3: thousand fans in about two minutes. You blink and it's

619
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 3: fourteen zero, and all those Orange fans, all those Bulls

620
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 3: fans are pretty quiet quickly.

621
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: Why. I think two things. I gotta say. I've been

622
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: a big critic of Ryan Day, not a big Ohio

623
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: State guy. Don't like Chip Kelly at all. That team

624
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: showed up to beat the livid shit out of Tennessee.

625
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: That team that showed up today. That first really the

626
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: first quarter right there of twenty one. Nothing but those

627
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: first couple drives, the violence in which their defense was hitting.

628
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: To me, offensively, if they're just semi clicking, they're gonna

629
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna score, right, I mean, that offense is elite.

630
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: But defensively, that thing was like whoa. This is like

631
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer, Jim Tressel's teams, and like the unit A

632
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: J Hawk had, like your guy Bobby Carpenter and him.

633
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: You know, I mean their defense is going back to

634
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: like the Vrabel days, would like the modern day. What

635
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: Sabin did through the twenty tens that was impressive. And

636
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: clearly whatever happened over the last three weeks, they were

637
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: able to kind of take a step back and they

638
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:15,240
Speaker 1: slingshot it into this game that was that was fucking awesome.

639
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 1: And what else was I gonna say? Oh, I got

640
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: a dm a question for the mail bag, but I

641
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: think it works right here. And they said, do you

642
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: think that Nico has some Anthony Richardson to him? Like

643
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: obviously elite talent, but something's missing, And I would say

644
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 1: the difference, I mean, Anthony Richardson only started the year

645
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 1: at Florida and then obviously in the pros has been

646
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: a roller coaster, more awful than good. Nico is a

647
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: true you know, this is his first true year starting.

648
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: He was on the program last year, right but Joe,

649
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 1: he was a backup. I'm gonna give him a little time.

650
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 1: But I do think if I'm a Tennessee fan, like

651
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: we gotta find a way to calm him down a

652
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: little bit like that. Even if Nico was good, I

653
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 1: don't think they could have won tonight the wayal Ohio

654
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 1: State was playing. But his erratic nature, I mean beside

655
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: the runs. And this is a little Anthony Richardson. Like

656
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: his balls clearly when he just lets it fling, like

657
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: how many guys throw a prettier tight spiral that's going

658
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: one hundred mile an hour, but he does not know

659
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: where that's going a lot of the time. Now, his

660
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: receivers have got some injuries, but man, he's got This

661
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: offseason for them is pretty big because he his his talent,

662
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: like his raw ability is better than like Arch Manning,

663
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: you know, like his his physical tools aren't even close

664
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: I mean from throwing the ball. And then you know

665
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: your guy Will Howard, like those guys don't possess like that.

666
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: But you got to be able to play the quarterback position.

667
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: You saw Will Howard tonight, who you know maybe gets

668
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: drafted on like the seventh round to play tight end,

669
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: like like your guy. I just think Ryley Leonard could

670
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: be a tight end in the NFL, you know, because

671
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be a quarterback. But no, Shaite does

672
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: nothing to mean you can't be a good college player.

673
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: I think I think tennis, like, if you put Nico

674
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: on Ohio State, it'd be hard for them because those

675
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: receivers are wide open. I think he'd be hitting them

676
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: like every other pass. Right. So it's if you're a

677
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: Tennessee fan, like, hey, you made the playoffs, but that

678
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 1: was a pretty good butt kicking. And if you're Ohio

679
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,240
Speaker 1: State man, a lot of people talked a lot of shit,

680
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 1: and rightfully so, I mean they that Michigan loss is

681
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: one of the worst loss in the history of the program.

682
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: But I got to give him credit. They answered the bell,

683
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: and they answered the bell hard tonight against an SEC,

684
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 1: you know, one of the better SEC programs these last

685
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: couple years. You mentioned those hard hits.

686
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 3: It felt like every single time Nico got hit, whether

687
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 3: it was in the pocket or whether he was running, You're.

688
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: Like, is he gonna get up? Like?

689
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 3: Is he going to get up? And he just kept

690
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 3: getting up six six skinny version of himself. But to

691
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 3: your point about the wide receivers, they showed a bunch

692
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 3: on the broadcast with Kirk Kurbstreet and he was like, Okay,

693
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 3: if you're Nico, who are you hitting on this? And

694
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 3: you look around and you're like, well, there's no wide

695
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 3: receivers open. So I think part of that too had

696
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 3: to deal with, you know, them two wide receivers Thornton

697
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 3: and scroll White being out. But even with that, their

698
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 3: wide receiver group is just so slim, So you just

699
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 3: hope if you're a Tennessee fan that can go out

700
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 3: and get some talent. But I also think the whole

701
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 3: Samson situation was pretty interesting about him getting hurt. They

702
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 3: couldn't they stop the run obviously the entire game, but

703
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 3: I think him not being involved definitely was a factor

704
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 3: in that one for sure.

705
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing with college different in the NFL.

706
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: They can just be so mysterious about it. It's like,

707
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: what's going on, and then he's not saying anything, and

708
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: then the sideline reporter doesn't really get any information like

709
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: in the NFL. They'll just tell you, hey, he's got

710
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 1: a hamstring, he's questionable to come back. They just don't

711
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: hide any of that. You know, you could tell when

712
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: they asked Hypel at halftime it was like, yeah, he's

713
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: not he's he's He didn't even acknowledge it. It's like,

714
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 1: well it's the off this the SEC offensive player of

715
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: the year. Now there are other running backs. I mean

716
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: that true freshman, I bet turns out to be an

717
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: NFL guy. The backups, the little the smaller guy is

718
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: a good player. So to me, it was more their

719
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: passing game. But I again back to Ohio State, this

720
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: was the twenty million dollar roster that when their high

721
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: end is on, it's like there is no I mean,

722
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: Jeremy Smith, his body does looks like a fifth year senior.

723
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: Like his lower body, he's built. It's just like Jesus

724
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: and Will Howard is like the difference of them and

725
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, right is both those guys can be a

726
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: radic passing the ball, but they have that on the outside.

727
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: You guys just don't I mean who and who has

728
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: Jeremiah Smith? Right? Because both teams can run the ball,

729
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: can play sweet defense, can crush people up front. But

730
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: like when you got that, at any moment, you're like,

731
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: well we could just flip into the Buffalo Bills and

732
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:37,280
Speaker 1: if Will Howard who is you know? I listen, scouts

733
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: can be kind of mean, but I mean, no one

734
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 1: takes them that Seriously, I'm getting text tonight from college

735
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: scouting directors with like memes of Peyton Manning. I mean,

736
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: he this had to be and given how obviously what

737
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: happened against Michigan is rewarding for him as it was

738
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,760
Speaker 1: for Ryan dam I mean he came out just throwing

739
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: ball and it wasn't even just the early touchdowns. How

740
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: many times, like when Tennessee was kind of getting back

741
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: in the game, he did like a big third down,

742
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: like a crossing route, and he hit him in stride.

743
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 1: It wouldn't be like the guy had to stop. He

744
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 1: was I don't even know what his final final numbers.

745
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he got yanked with nine minutes ago, but

746
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: he was that's as accurate. I mean, you're gonna play

747
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: like that they could win. It's like Oregon has to

748
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: play that. How unfair is that?

749
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 3: Twenty four to twenty nine, three hundred eleven yards, two

750
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 3: touchdowns and probably one of the more ridiculous interceptions I've

751
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 3: ever seen.

752
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: I mean that interception.

753
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,399
Speaker 3: I felt almost bad for Will Howard because he's having

754
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 3: a hell of a game and then Brooks gets that

755
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 3: one toe win.

756
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 1: And how about the broadcast. It wasn't that was sick.

757
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: That was Kirk.

758
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,240
Speaker 3: It wasn't Kirk or Chris, but it was like Build

759
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 3: the referee guy, He's like, well, I don't know if

760
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 3: he's got firm control.

761
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: He's got two hands on the ball.

762
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 3: I think that's firm enough, at least for me when

763
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 3: I was watching that game, But I mean for Tennessee.

764
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 3: I guess another plus side of that was I didn't

765
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,399
Speaker 3: realize how Nico, how tough Nico was that entire game.

766
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 3: I mean, his ability to just lay it out for

767
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 3: his team. Twenty carries, forty seven yards. I think he

768
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,439
Speaker 3: just scored again actually as we're recording this right now,

769
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 3: on the run.

770
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: But I don't know.

771
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 3: I think next year you look at him as one

772
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 3: of the top quarterbacks and you just hope that they

773
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 3: can go and get some guys in the portal because

774
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 3: I gave it all he had.

775
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: That's all they happened to do on offense. I would

776
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: say this, you know, I think sometimes if you just

777
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,399
Speaker 1: told someone from the South, like these LA kids are

778
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: gonna start playing quarterback for your program, they'd be like

779
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: a bunch of pussies. And if you look at the C. J.

780
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: Stroud was you know, one two any guy from southern

781
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: California that has gone on like I would say one

782
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: defining characteristic when Bryce was at Bama, like that guy

783
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: was tough as nails. You saw Nico to Knight on

784
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 1: the one where he got and Herbstreet was right. You

785
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: don't really see this play called because you rarely see

786
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 1: it happen. It happens a lot in the NFL where

787
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: the guy gets lifted and driven into the ground and

788
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 1: the guy just because Nico jumped, had kind of in

789
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,399
Speaker 1: the air and went down with him. But that guy

790
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 1: slammed him really hard, and even it took Nico a second,

791
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: but he got right back up and came right back swinging.

792
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 1: I think the toughness of that quarterback crop and even

793
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: if you just think in recent memory from like the

794
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold's like, you do get a pretty tough quarterback now.

795
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: Their skills, you know, the one thing CJ and Bryce

796
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: had immediately was that natural touch. Nico feels like a

797
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: baseball player that's throwing one hundred and two and that's

798
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: the touch passes, like the touch passes Will Howard has

799
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: right now. I don't know if Nicos sped up. Obviously

800
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 1: he's playing in a really tough environment, but that ball

801
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: leaves his hand and you just you just have no

802
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 1: clue until the screen. You're like, this could be picked.

803
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: This could hit a guy in the head, This could

804
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: hit a guy in the hands and stride like I

805
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: don't know. That's and that's I think if Josh Hipeel

806
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: can take this guy to the next level, which is

807
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: I mean why you know former quarterback, you know the

808
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: offensive mastermind is his offense. I just think there that's

809
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 1: gonna be one of the big like offseason stories for

810
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: the SEC because so many of these teams like, well,

811
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: this quarterback transfer is like, who's going to be the

812
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: next quarterback for Ohio State? Right? Will's done the backups

813
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: in the portal and they let him stay, which clearly

814
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: tells you like, yeah, you're not gonna be our starter

815
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: next year. Is that what you think, like when that happens,

816
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because why wouldn't they just be like, bro,

817
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna start here and you'll hit a million bucks,

818
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: like clearly Ryan Day, which I think and listen unless

819
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 1: you're there. I wonder if teams give up on guys

820
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,320
Speaker 1: a little fast, like the guy's at Ohio State for

821
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: a reason. I mean, he can't be some scrub, but

822
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: clearly who knows. Maybe they already have someone else signed,

823
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I feel like when you do

824
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: that a lot, it's pretty risky, Like eventually sometimes you

825
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 1: just now maybe they have so much money they're always

826
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: gonna get their guy. But and Chip has you know,

827
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: the reason they liked Will Howard more than Kyle Will

828
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: Like they like a mobile, Like that's what he wants.

829
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: So whoever, the next Will Howard type guy like Chip

830
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 1: wouldn't like Nico two inaccurate, you know his big thing.

831
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: He wants mobility and like he doesn't even need a

832
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: strong arm, because you would say Will Howard's arm doesn't

833
00:42:58,200 --> 00:42:58,720
Speaker 1: have a hose.

834
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,280
Speaker 3: So seeing what Ohio State did tonight and Will Howard

835
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 3: just confidently throwing the football on the outside of Jeremiah

836
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 3: Meyers Smith, getting him in the slot, getting him out

837
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 3: in space, you think that's a similar game plan they

838
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 3: do against Oregon if they come out with that same

839
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 3: energy or how do you I guess an early look

840
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 3: on that one with what you saw tonight because you

841
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 3: mentioned it. I mean, Ohio State looked like a national

842
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 3: championship team, and I guess.

843
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: Part of that how to do with the Michigan loss.

844
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,919
Speaker 3: But you wonder in the Rose Bowl, they're definitely gonna

845
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 3: come out with some kind of swagger and chip on

846
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 3: their shoulder from here and out.

847
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: That is an awesome game because it feels like, you

848
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: know the tradition of the Rose Bowl, the Pac Ten,

849
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,919
Speaker 1: the Pac twelve, the Big Ten, that place is gonna

850
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: be I mean, there are gonna be a tonan obviously,

851
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 1: but I mean you're talking like fifty to fifty, like

852
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: fifty k fifty k Ohio State, Oregon that place, that's

853
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 1: going to be a pretty special environment. I do think

854
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: that Oregon really got screwed man, because and listen to

855
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 1: clearly these new Year six Bowls have a stranglehold, like

856
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 1: how do you get to buy and then not get

857
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: a home game? Like how awesome did Penn State in Texas?

858
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: And all places look so special? And if I'm Oregon,

859
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: we already knew about their brackup matchup, but I the

860
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: Rose Bulls an easier travel for them. But it's never

861
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: been a problem for the Big ten schools to Wisconsin, Iowa.

862
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 1: You get them in that game, it's packed. People won't

863
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: guess where they live right now. It's freezing cold. They're coming.

864
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,760
Speaker 1: That's just I'm trying not to be overly negative about

865
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: the It's the first year and they will change. I

866
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: bet they pivot fast, But that seems like something we

867
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,720
Speaker 1: got to figure out, like I should get I would

868
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,359
Speaker 1: like Oregon like to me, it's a coin flip, which

869
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: is crazy because Oregon's been the best team and already

870
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: beat them. But like, if that you told me that

871
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: game was in Eugene, I'd be like, well, I still

872
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 1: give Oregon the clear advantage. Yeah, yeah, State. If you

873
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:52,959
Speaker 1: ask Ryan Day, where would you rather play the game?

874
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 1: The Rose Bowl or Eugene Oregon? What do you think

875
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: he'd say?

876
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 3: Give me Rose Bull ten out of ten times, especially

877
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 3: the last time they played there and it was so

878
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 3: loud of Will Howard has slide. But well, I guess

879
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 3: one of the games of the day that was not

880
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 3: a blowout Clemson Texas.

881
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: I gotta give a lot of credit to Clemson too.

882
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 3: I mean Kate Klubknick, I mean the improvement that he's

883
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 3: had from last year and you know last year Garrett

884
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,479
Speaker 3: Riley first year in the system, but even week one

885
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 3: with Georgia, my biggest worry for Clemson was a lot

886
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,439
Speaker 3: of young receivers, a lot of freshmen guys against really

887
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 3: physical Texas team. It just felt like the entire game

888
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 3: club Nick felt comfortable, he was poised, and some of

889
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 3: these wide receivers, the freshmen, that the awareness they have

890
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 3: at such a young age. That's another team too, where

891
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 3: I know they lost today, if you look at next

892
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 3: season with Kate Clubnick and them bringing so much talent,

893
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 3: so much young talent, they might be a team that

894
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 3: could make a run next year with all these quarterbacks

895
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 3: to leave it. Well, what impressed you about Clemson, Texas

896
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 3: and Texas I guess is just their identity to come

897
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:52,439
Speaker 3: out hot early and kind of just stay cool, find

898
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 3: ways to win, and find opportunities and just capitalize on them.

899
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,280
Speaker 1: I thought, like the Georgia game the second time around,

900
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: they started fast and early on. You're like, well, this team,

901
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: like Ohio State, clearly has the highest payroll in the country.

902
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: I mean, the talent on that team is just immense,

903
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: and they were scoring in this game, unlike the Georgia game.

904
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: And clearly we saw Georgia play Clemson not as good,

905
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:19,760
Speaker 1: but I'm with you. I mean, that had a feel

906
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 1: like it was gonna become Ohio State Tennessee and Club Nick.

907
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: I mean that TJ. Moore number one true freshman. I

908
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: mean they got a chance to do a lot. I

909
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: texted a couple of people, I'm like, is Cave Club

910
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: Nick coming out? Like are we sure he's not relative

911
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: to like Shador and cam Ward? But like who else

912
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 1: would he be competing against? Because you watched day You

913
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: and I were texting, if you flip flop the two quarterbacks,

914
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 1: they would be, by no doubt about it. Pick because

915
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: sometimes I saw people somehow I fall. It feels like

916
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 1: a million University of Texas fans like Sark's gonna blow

917
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 1: this blow this Quinn yours is missing people behind their back,

918
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: Like I think Starks done an awesome job this year

919
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: for the most part, and in some big spots, Quinn

920
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: just kind of gets weird and he threw one behind

921
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: him on the third down. There was the one drive

922
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: late in the game where he easily could have thrown

923
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: a pick. He goes right like at any moment, Quinn

924
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 1: can get you right back and the other guy if

925
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:22,919
Speaker 1: that was the first time you'd ever watched Club Nick,

926
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: and he went just like a playoff game. So you'd

927
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: be like, well, obviously his team's really good. Like, is

928
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 1: this guy competing to be a top five pick in

929
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: the draft. His athletic ability, his touch, his drive throws.

930
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: I watch him, I'm like, I think this guy's a

931
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:42,320
Speaker 1: big time prospect. And how much he's improved now. Lincoln

932
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: Riley brother the coordinator, isn't he Garrett? Yeah, Garrett Riley

933
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,879
Speaker 1: the down two touchdowns on the goal line, third down,

934
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: no problem with you know, kind of getting you know,

935
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: club nick on the move, maybe you get a crease

936
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: like I understand that call. I have a hard time

937
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: running it up the gut on fourth and show, especially

938
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: without film MafA.

939
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 3: I mean, that's been their guy all season. He's been

940
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,399
Speaker 3: dealing with the shoulder injury. They haven't got him going.

941
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 3: They said before the game that their second running back

942
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 3: at a torn ACL So they literally have a wide

943
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,280
Speaker 3: receiver who had the longest gain of forty yards.

944
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 1: And I was just puzzled. I kind of just kind

945
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 1: of liked that guy running back. By the way, when

946
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 1: he busted that run, I was like, damn this and

947
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 1: this is why Clemson, This is why Clemson doesn't like

948
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: no one's comparing them to SMU or Indiana because clearly

949
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: they got elite talent, right Yeah.

950
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 3: And the biggest knock on Kate Clubnick was well, you

951
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 3: need a good running game, you need a dominant wide receiver,

952
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 3: like the game needs to not be on Kate Clubnick

953
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 3: to win football games. And that game was all in

954
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:39,919
Speaker 3: Kate Club Nick. I was impressed. I was gonna text

955
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 3: you him, like, does this guy is he.

956
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: A first rounder? Like?

957
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 3: Would he go in the first round this year? If

958
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,839
Speaker 3: he goes and plays like that, I wonder if he's

959
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:48,760
Speaker 3: gonna stay. I feel like he's going to with another

960
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 3: year and all the young talent that they have. But

961
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:54,359
Speaker 3: I was thoroughly impressed man, his ability to scramble, his

962
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 3: ability to just scan the field, that cross body throw,

963
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 3: that first drive, that long drive by Clemson, you just

964
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 3: out like you knew it was gonna be a game.

965
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 3: And you gotta give credit to Dabble on them for

966
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,240
Speaker 3: not hanging their head high or low. I should say

967
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 3: what about Texas? I guess because Texas's defense, I mean,

968
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 3: they held them on the goal line. They always get

969
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 3: them out of games. It seems like every level on

970
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,280
Speaker 3: that team, they've got stars. And I know you tweeted

971
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 3: out too. It was like the difference between those first

972
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 3: two games in these last two games, it was a

973
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 3: bunch of NFL draft talent on Texas, Clemson in Ohio State, Tennessee.

974
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 1: You feel it on the field, like you know, when

975
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:31,800
Speaker 1: Clemson's coming back. Some of these plays are like balls

976
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: down the sideline where it's a one on one matchup.

977
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 1: So it's not like you're just gashing the middle of

978
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:40,879
Speaker 1: their defense, right. I mean Clemson ran for seventy six

979
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 1: yards and what do you say, thirty five forty How

980
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: many yards was the one kid's long run? It was

981
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 1: forty one yards? Yeah. Yeah, So of their seventy six yards,

982
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: over half of it came on one run. So it

983
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: was all him throwing it down the field and they

984
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 1: didn't have a choice right there down. But to me,

985
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 1: tex and you and I talked about this, their front seven,

986
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 1: like Penn State is, jumps off the screen. And same

987
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 1: with the way Ohio State played tonight. It's like Jesus you,

988
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if you'd say the same about Notre Dame.

989
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: A little nots below them, but still big time right

990
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 1: relative to college football, but it feels like they are

991
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 1: a little better. You could argue Texas and Penn State.

992
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: I mean we're talking about like several several high draft picks.

993
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 1: You know, Sawyer, he's that guy, a first round pick.

994
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:31,839
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a good college player. But it's not like,

995
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: you know, you're not looking at TJ. Watt there again,

996
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:37,839
Speaker 1: he's going to play in the NFL. But and I'm

997
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: not shaking shot like Ohio State is big time guys too. No.

998
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: I just think that you watch Texas now and those

999
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: two running backs, and I remember at the red River game,

1000
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: I was like Jesus, the speed these two guys have.

1001
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: I remember walking away thinking I love twenty six. But

1002
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 1: it was a blue today. I mean, he looked good.

1003
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 1: That's the thing. You get two good running backs in

1004
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: this kind of you know environment with all these teams left.

1005
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 1: So Notre Dame has two sweet running backs, Texas has

1006
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: two sweet running backs. Penn State is two sweet running backs.

1007
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 1: Ohio State, I mean the one guy is just incredible, Anderson,

1008
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 1: who's gonna be a top forty pick. It's a lot

1009
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: of these teams, you know, we would I wouldn't expect

1010
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 1: everyone scoring thirty five to forty points. If you get

1011
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:25,959
Speaker 1: into a tight game, you know, it just gets maybe

1012
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:27,799
Speaker 1: you're only gain in three or four yards, but you

1013
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: just wear the other defense down with just the and

1014
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 1: all of them have them, right, we know Georgia has

1015
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: running backs. I'd put Oregon in there too, Oregon for sure.

1016
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: I mean this is you can get into a game.

1017
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 1: One of these games is gonna be like seventeen to

1018
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: seventeen going into the fourth quarter, and it's just gonna

1019
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: be like who wants it more? And all these teams

1020
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 1: can play like it. And that's what I appreciate, like

1021
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 1: about this out like the best teams right now that

1022
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 1: we saw this weekend. I know, I know Texas gave

1023
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: U a bunch of points in the second half, but

1024
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: we might look back in five years like that was

1025
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,359
Speaker 1: Club Nicks true coming out part of the nation when

1026
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 1: he's like the sixth pick next year. That the defense

1027
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 1: and physicality from Ohio State, Penn State, Notre Dame is

1028
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,319
Speaker 1: like why I like football. I just like watching people

1029
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 1: get fucking destroyed, especially like you know in the NFL today,

1030
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Ravens like TJ. Watt and

1031
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton, like these dudes are all like they're all sweet.

1032
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: NFL players, But in college he kind of feels like,

1033
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 1: oh this this one team's the bully and they just

1034
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,879
Speaker 1: start bullying them and you almost feel bad. You're like, oh,

1035
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 1: this is getting someone stopped the fight here. And that's

1036
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,479
Speaker 1: what it felt like. Penn State, Notre Dame in Ohio State,

1037
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:38,759
Speaker 1: like we're here to bully you.

1038
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 3: I think what's impressive about Texas's running game too, is CJ.

1039
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 3: Baxter was supposed to be the running back of this

1040
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 3: year and he got hurt in fall camp and then

1041
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 3: Blue comes in.

1042
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 1: He starts to get some fumbles. Twenty six you mentioned him.

1043
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:52,880
Speaker 3: Why is there only had seventy three yards last season,

1044
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:54,799
Speaker 3: so for him to step in on top of that,

1045
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:58,320
Speaker 3: I feel like Texas had some injuries offensive line wise,

1046
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,799
Speaker 3: that that third quarter was a little due. They only

1047
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 3: rush for like three yards per carry, and then they

1048
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 3: figure out the rotation. I'm watching the left tackle, Calvin

1049
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 3: Banks's supposed to be a top ten pick man he is.

1050
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:12,280
Speaker 3: You run behind him, you're gonna get five yards easily.

1051
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 3: But you just wonder that offensive line. They're a semi finalists,

1052
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 3: they were a finalists for the Joe More Award. Why

1053
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 3: can't they do that versus Georgia. Is it just Georgia's

1054
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 3: defensive line. Is it that much better? Is it a

1055
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 3: mentality thing against them? Like what did you see from

1056
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 3: today versus last week? Because that seems to be their kryptonite. Well,

1057
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 3: I think Georgia is.

1058
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: I mean, they got multiple guys who are gonna go

1059
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 1: in like the top twenty of the draft. I think

1060
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: when you think about the last four years, that's where

1061
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 1: that's like George's point of difference. You know, even when

1062
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 1: they had Bowers and McConkey with Bennett like it was

1063
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 1: the defense and really the defensive line, it was Jordan Davis,

1064
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 1: Jalen Carver, Nolan Smith. It was like cheating Kobe Dean's

1065
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 1: like right up the line, right behind us, Like what

1066
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? What's his name? The fuck? I

1067
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 1: haven't even listed to the guy that went number one

1068
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 1: overall ahead of Aiden Hutchinson Walker. I mean, so it's

1069
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: just when you think Georgia that's there, that's that's just

1070
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 1: what they breed. Like if you're gonna play for the

1071
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,240
Speaker 1: Ravens or the Steelers, you're gonna play defense. If Kirby's

1072
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 1: gonna talk to you and you're a defensive player, like

1073
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 1: we're looking to kill people. And I think Texas I

1074
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: give star credit. Kilkowski I think is the Boise guy.

1075
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 1: This defensive coordinator is good, and they use the transfer

1076
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 1: portal and they use their money, and they've recruited, like

1077
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: they have an SEC level defense. Like the big question

1078
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 1: mark Texas going into the SEC. It's like, you know

1079
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,359
Speaker 1: this ain't the Big twelve brother, Well, it's like, yeah,

1080
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: then they just recruited and bought an SEC team. Because

1081
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 1: you watched them today, Like that's an SEC team in

1082
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 1: your corner. TJ. Moore might end up being a top

1083
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 1: fifteen pick in two years, right, So it's like one

1084
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: guy's giving up some outside shots. Like I can live

1085
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 1: with that. If you didn't get they weren't getting man handled.

1086
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: They just gave him some big plays. So I think

1087
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:00,879
Speaker 1: the big question mark for Texas. We talked about this

1088
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 1: and it's it's evident. If they had a first round quarterback,

1089
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 1: I don't think they would be beat. I mean I

1090
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 1: would take them against Ohio State, but yours. Just when

1091
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 1: you start feeling comfortable, he kind of like rope shit,

1092
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 1: You're like, WHOA is? The sequence was when he throws

1093
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 1: the pick and it was a pick six. But the

1094
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 1: dude takes out the offensive lineman on the blind side. Yeah,

1095
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 1: and it was the drop.

1096
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 3: It wasn't it wasn't his fault, but yeah, definitely an interception.

1097
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 1: But but that sequence, so he takes him out and

1098
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 1: then it gets called back, and then I think there

1099
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 1: was right after that he threw a pick that should

1100
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 1: have been like it was a sequence where the game

1101
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 1: could have been a lot closer going in halftime, and

1102
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 1: which that blindside block, which I get them, you know,

1103
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 1: legislating it out of the game. It wasn't as malicious

1104
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 1: as it looked with him lying there once. He he

1105
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: just kind of he didn't like leave his feet. You

1106
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: were probably too young, but Warren Sapp, when I was

1107
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: a kid in Monday night football, Brett Favre, Yeah, Brett

1108
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 1: Farv throw a pick and Chad Clifton turned around on

1109
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:05,720
Speaker 1: like a pick six and Warren Sapp left his feet

1110
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 1: like John Lynch in the air would tackling someone and

1111
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: killed the guy. And ever since then, that play, you know,

1112
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 1: at the college in the NFL level, like you could

1113
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 1: literally hurt someone because all of a sudden that you know,

1114
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: it looked like he got a concussion or something. But

1115
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:21,800
Speaker 1: he just is just a force of the two guys.

1116
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: But I just think at any moment with yours, who

1117
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: can also make some sweet plays. Every time I was

1118
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:28,360
Speaker 1: ready to like write him off, he would make a

1119
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:31,959
Speaker 1: good play with his legs or make like a drive

1120
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 1: a throw in there between traffic. So he's kind of

1121
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 1: he just kind of is what he is. You just

1122
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:41,800
Speaker 1: don't know series to series, half to half help sometimes

1123
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: throw to throw what you're gonna get. And they definitely,

1124
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:48,479
Speaker 1: I mean, this has got to be their deepest team

1125
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:52,400
Speaker 1: since like the Mac Brown era, you know those that

1126
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 1: Colt McCoy and Vince Young, like this is just deep everywhere.

1127
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: And they weren't. They weren't that last year. Remember how

1128
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:01,839
Speaker 1: flawed they were. They're just dramatically better than last year.

1129
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 1: And they were good last year.

1130
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,439
Speaker 3: You think Sark was happy too, that that running game

1131
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:09,360
Speaker 3: aided youers, that he didn't have to do much just

1132
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:11,319
Speaker 3: hand the ball off, and you know he did make

1133
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 3: some good throws. You're right, Gunner, Helms just a security blanket.

1134
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 3: You throw it anywhere his way, he's gonna catch the football.

1135
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 3: He had that good throw with Golden who made a

1136
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 3: great catch kind of underthrown. But it seems to me

1137
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 3: like Sark, if they get the running game going, he

1138
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 3: feels more confident versus having the game on yours's shoulders you.

1139
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 1: And I both, he's easy at to roof fo. I

1140
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: think Arizona State's in major trouble. I can they run

1141
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 1: the ball against his Texas front? I just don't know.

1142
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 1: I think they could get massacred. And it's not for

1143
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 1: lack of effort or lack of coaching. It's just one

1144
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 1: of those words like I don't want to go quite

1145
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 1: like TCU Georgia, but I think, and again, I don't

1146
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 1: want this to happen. But if you tell me right

1147
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 1: now the score is fifty to seven, I think it's believable,

1148
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 1: isn't it? And you're gonna see more negativity.

1149
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 3: Oh, Arizona State, Boise State shouldn't be in the first

1150
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 3: round or get a first round by you know, they

1151
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 3: need a reseed, which we've already known before, Like we're

1152
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 3: getting all this attention a boy SMU in Indiana, but

1153
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 3: I already knew.

1154
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 1: We already knew that if Texas and Penn State played

1155
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:19,480
Speaker 1: well in one, that they got incredible draws and they

1156
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 1: were gonna be like we'd already been talking about this.

1157
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 1: I mean, if Clemson somehow would have came back that

1158
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 1: they might not be a fourteen point favorite, but it'd

1159
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 1: be nine, right, or it'd be over a touchdown and Boise.

1160
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 1: I think Boise the same thing. I just don't think

1161
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: they have a chance against you just see it. And

1162
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 1: I never understand how people argue this. It's like I

1163
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: didn't go to one of these schools, so it's not

1164
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 1: like I'm pro Texa A and m Anti, Texas and

1165
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 1: Oklahoma or you know, I don't now I had a

1166
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 1: root for certain people more than others. But I also

1167
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 1: can just take my bias out of it and just know, like, guys,

1168
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 1: do you just watch the top ten Ish teams in

1169
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 1: the SEC and the Big ten has three SEC teams

1170
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 1: oh this year with Michigan being down, Ohio State, Oregon

1171
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 1: and Penn State in terms of NFL talent, but like

1172
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 1: these other leagues. I was texting abut of tonight. I said,

1173
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 1: how many teams would Indiana and SMU how many do

1174
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 1: you think are going to get drafted based on like

1175
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: your guys grades right now? He said, max five combined.

1176
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, how many guys will get drafted from Alabama,

1177
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 1: He's like, I'd put the over under at seven and

1178
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 1: a half eight. And you watch Clemson, which you know

1179
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 1: some of their guys might be under, and you also

1180
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: had a factor in, like their sophomores and freshmen are

1181
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 1: NFL guys like your guy. I didn't realize Bryant Young's

1182
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 1: son number thirty, the pass rusher who I grew up on,

1183
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 1: Like that guy comes in and you go, So this

1184
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 1: is part of it. It's not just hey, we got

1185
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 1: Quentin Nelson, Mike mcglinchy, right, are the guys that are

1186
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 1: going to get drafted? You know, we got Ady Mitchell,

1187
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 1: we got Worthy. What about all the guys like this

1188
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: year on Texas's team that were also starting on that team.

1189
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 1: It's like, no, it's the whole crew, and you really know,

1190
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 1: like you watch Texas, you watch Penn State, it's not

1191
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 1: just their nine guys that are gonna get drafted. It's

1192
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 1: last year with Michigan it was like, hey, they're gonna

1193
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 1: have sixteen guys get drafted, and they have Will Johnson

1194
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 1: and you can list like four other guys. So it's like,

1195
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:21,440
Speaker 1: actually they have like twenty five draftable players on the

1196
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 1: field in this game. And that's where you just feel it.

1197
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 1: In these games where it is now at the home

1198
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 1: maybe you get a little better chance in a bowl

1199
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 1: game at the home field, which all the teams, you know,

1200
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:36,920
Speaker 1: the two main ones with huge advantages, and even Texas

1201
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 1: right now has a way better roster than Clemson top

1202
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 1: to bottom. You really feel with that home field behind him,

1203
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 1: You're like, and especially this is like a double bye week.

1204
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 1: You know, you've had a bunch of time. There's a

1205
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 1: build up. It's not like just one week. It's like

1206
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 1: you are raring to go coming into this game, and

1207
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:54,960
Speaker 1: you felt them all shot like a rocket out of

1208
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:57,480
Speaker 1: the you know, after kickoff.

1209
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 3: That was another common theme too with the four teams

1210
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 3: that won in Clemson. Like you mentioned, it was all

1211
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 3: these freshmen coming out and making these dynamic, big time plays.

1212
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 3: It's almost an advantage for those teams where in the

1213
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 3: air of the transfer portal, if you're playing freshmen and

1214
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 3: they're making those key plays and helping your team out,

1215
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:15,080
Speaker 3: why would they leave. They're gonna stay. I mean, for

1216
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 3: Notre Dame, their secondary three of the four guys are

1217
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:21,439
Speaker 3: all sophomore freshmen, and he mentioned Bryce young, some other

1218
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 3: talent upfront that are coming as a freshman. I mean

1219
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 3: that's only to added plus and especially I know Sark

1220
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:28,919
Speaker 3: talked about it before this season on how the early

1221
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 3: games he was gonna play most of his freshmen, he

1222
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 3: was gonna play most of his guys against Michigan, Yule, Monroe,

1223
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 3: Mississippi State, just to get those guys involved so that

1224
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 3: way they got to the playoff. They're rotating guys. You

1225
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 3: got fresh bodies throughout the game. Like I mean you

1226
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 3: talked about Texas defense. That Colin Simmons kid eleven, he

1227
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 3: probably get drafted top ten right now.

1228
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:49,920
Speaker 1: He's their best player and he's a true freshman. It's incredible.

1229
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 1: I feel like you could take the couple elevens that

1230
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:55,080
Speaker 1: we saw today playing defense and they would immediately start

1231
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 1: next week for like half the NFL, like to like

1232
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 1: literally next Sunday, they would start. You could go through

1233
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 1: the majority of the NFL teams, definitely all the teams

1234
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:10,560
Speaker 1: that suck, the Jags, the Giants, I mean, Penn State's eleven,

1235
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 1: Texas eleven, they'd be like their best players. They really

1236
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 1: might be the giants best player. But those two guys,

1237
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 1: like the versatility of these guys. And you know the

1238
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 1: thing with Penn State, like when you were eleven, you

1239
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 1: just know like you're their guy. You know, Texas is

1240
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 1: just a sweet number two, the defensive guy. That guy's

1241
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 1: just a badass. I wish I wish you were a Jenior,

1242
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:32,920
Speaker 1: a mind reader.

1243
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 3: Because I would have slept in if I would have

1244
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:36,919
Speaker 3: known the SMU Penn State game was gonna be thirty

1245
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 3: eight to ten at ten am, I would have slept in,

1246
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 3: maybe go get a workout during that game.

1247
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 1: Is there any takeaway that you have from this? Is

1248
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 1: it just pretty much?

1249
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 3: You know, Kevin Jennings is three horrible interceptions, Penn State's

1250
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 3: defense got into it. The two pick six is Aler

1251
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 3: was okay, and then that's another one where it's you

1252
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 3: got two dynamic running backs to lean on and they

1253
01:02:57,360 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 3: just blow them out.

1254
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 1: I think we'll get in Indiana too. But in that game,

1255
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 1: you know, Penn State is built much closer to Ohio

1256
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:14,400
Speaker 1: State in Texas and Oregon in terms of just elite

1257
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 1: talent everywhere. And there was a play early in the game,

1258
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:22,720
Speaker 1: you know, within the first like ten minutes of actual

1259
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 1: like ten to ten ten, So it would have been

1260
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:27,840
Speaker 1: the first series or two. I can't remember the exact

1261
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 1: thing that happened, but James Franklin sprinted down I think

1262
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 1: to his defensive coordinators, defensive line coach, and this is

1263
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: when it was zero zero, and I just thought, it's

1264
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 1: James kind of tight right here? Is he kind of tight?

1265
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 1: And I would imagine, you know, home game, everyone's like,

1266
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:45,919
Speaker 1: no matter what, really, let's face it. Everyone in Penn

1267
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 1: State Land and most people that follow the Big ten

1268
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 1: chalk them into the final four, right and you're just watching, like, God,

1269
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:56,440
Speaker 1: is the coach tight here? And then it settled down

1270
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 1: immediately because the quarterback unraveled and you get two pick sixes.

1271
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: That's the thing that you know, you watch like Nico's

1272
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 1: just not good enough right now, like in terms of accuracy.

1273
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 1: But never once did I feel like, Yeah, it's too

1274
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 1: big for him. Playing in front one hundred thousand people

1275
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 1: against I don't know, the greatest college football program ever

1276
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:15,360
Speaker 1: in twenty five degree weather. It's like, no, he's fucking

1277
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 1: he ain't scared. I watched that guy and I watched

1278
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 1: Indiana's quarterback, and I felt like this this can't like,

1279
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:25,919
Speaker 1: especially when those are two of the the reason they're

1280
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 1: there are those two guys. Right, It's one thing if

1281
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 1: you have like a you've grown up in this college

1282
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 1: football era of like these quarterbacks being a lot better.

1283
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 1: But most of my life in the nineties, like college

1284
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 1: quarterbacks on the best teams were not the high picks.

1285
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 1: They were much more game managers, and they honestly tried

1286
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 1: to avoid them throwing most of the time because it

1287
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:51,480
Speaker 1: was a running game. Like that was always big. Honestly

1288
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,120
Speaker 1: up until like even when Sabin took over in two

1289
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 1: thousand and eight nine era, you could win with Greg

1290
01:04:56,800 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 1: McElroy and Ag mccerriny. Those days are over, and even

1291
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 1: like these random teams can overachieve, like Indiana or SMU

1292
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 1: is not necessarily random because they got money. But like

1293
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 1: if your quarterback's just a stud and all of a

1294
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:12,280
Speaker 1: sudden you're watching and you're like, well, your team's kind

1295
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 1: of predicated on this guy playing well and he looks

1296
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 1: fucking lost. I mean it was less in Penn State's

1297
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 1: good on defense, but that was it was more embarrassing

1298
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:28,840
Speaker 1: than Rourke's performance on Friday Night. Yeah, they in actually

1299
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 1: had a couple of throws here and there, Like I

1300
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:33,920
Speaker 1: thought that guy was like he wanted to you know,

1301
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 1: I want to get away Southwest. That's felt like what

1302
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 1: he was doing.

1303
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:40,040
Speaker 3: It was funny the interviewed him on College game Day

1304
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:41,720
Speaker 3: and Nick Saban's interview on him, he says, you know

1305
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 3: what's gonna be the hardest thing today? Is it gonna

1306
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 3: be the cold weather? Is it gonna be one hundred

1307
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:46,960
Speaker 3: and six thousand fans? Is it gonna be the Penn

1308
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:50,160
Speaker 3: States defense? While he's, you know, trying to get his

1309
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 3: hands warm while doing this interview, He's like, oh, I see,

1310
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 3: you know you're trying to get warm, you seem cold.

1311
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 3: And his response was the defense was gonna be the

1312
01:05:57,120 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 3: toughest thing. And sure enough, three interceptions and that cold

1313
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 3: weather looked pretty brutal for an SMU team. I just

1314
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 3: don't know how you resolve in SMU Indiana getting bought

1315
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 3: out like that. It's like one of those things where

1316
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 3: Penn State played really well, Notre Dame.

1317
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 1: Came out physical. I don't know what the solution is.

1318
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:20,200
Speaker 1: I think the solution's pretty easy. Is I think we

1319
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 1: learned because who really got screwed today? Because Penn State

1320
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:25,920
Speaker 1: and Notre Dame didn't get screwed. It was great for them,

1321
01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 1: it was us the people that watch and provide all

1322
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 1: the money and the hype on all this stuff that

1323
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:34,560
Speaker 1: we dedicate our lives to. Given three and a half

1324
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 1: hours on a Friday night to watch that game or

1325
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 1: get up early. I mean I built like I had

1326
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 1: a long day. I We're still recording here at ten

1327
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:43,520
Speaker 1: o'clock at night, like I wanted to be sitting on

1328
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:46,680
Speaker 1: the couch, you know, an hour before normal NFL game starting.

1329
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:49,040
Speaker 1: So a lot of times during the season, like ten

1330
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 1: am game at Saturday. Most of the weeks, it doesn't

1331
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,440
Speaker 1: even matter. So you have basically till the you know,

1332
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:57,640
Speaker 1: lunchtime window to really get focused on college football. It's

1333
01:06:57,680 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 1: like I wanted to watch this thing and to get

1334
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 1: If we want a cute story, we'll go to Hallmark.

1335
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:07,280
Speaker 1: You know, I just think the cute story the records

1336
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 1: are thrown out the window because your records. I've been

1337
01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 1: hammering this home. So is anyone with a common sense

1338
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 1: or a brain. You can't compare. Well, he went eleven

1339
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:21,840
Speaker 1: and one, ten and two. Your schedules have nothing comparable anymore, right,

1340
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:25,560
Speaker 1: especially now with these conferences expanding. So I think next

1341
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 1: year they got a lot of credit for going eleven

1342
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:31,400
Speaker 1: in one right, or I guess they would they go

1343
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 1: eleven and two, and Indiana got a lot of credit

1344
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 1: for going eleven and one. I think the and the

1345
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 1: emphasis got put because forever to get to the final four,

1346
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 1: like you could probably have one loss. I think one

1347
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:46,080
Speaker 1: time a two loss team went Ohio State and they

1348
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 1: ended up winning it with Irby Meyer. But I don't

1349
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 1: think the record is gonna matter as much now you

1350
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 1: can't go eight and four and make the twelve team playoff.

1351
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:55,760
Speaker 1: But like, let's face, if they could do it over

1352
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,920
Speaker 1: again today, Indiana and SMU would have been out in

1353
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:02,480
Speaker 1: South Carolina and Alabas would be in and you just

1354
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 1: put those two teams together, like it's not a comparable.

1355
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 1: It's just not apples to apples, like if the Steelers

1356
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 1: go ten and seven and the Ravens go twelve and five,

1357
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:16,519
Speaker 1: Like it's easy to put into context records and who

1358
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:19,160
Speaker 1: you beat, and everyone in the NFL is a pro

1359
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:22,280
Speaker 1: and we all know, like you can play like crap

1360
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:25,519
Speaker 1: and lose to the Carolina Panthers if the Chiefs almost did.

1361
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 1: We're in college, it's pretty clear like you're allowed to

1362
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 1: have like weird game with Vanderbilt if you're Texas or Arkansas.

1363
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:35,559
Speaker 1: It's like, no, no one thought that much, as long

1364
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:37,599
Speaker 1: as you win it. But they also you know, had

1365
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 1: they beat text A and M on the road, that's

1366
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:42,800
Speaker 1: second time against Georgia, You're like, okay, this is this

1367
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:46,200
Speaker 1: is a real team. I think sometimes on a given year,

1368
01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 1: we also can never assume that the SEC and the

1369
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 1: Big Ten are the same. Again, I think moving forward

1370
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:55,599
Speaker 1: the SEC, it goes the NFL, the SEC and then

1371
01:08:55,640 --> 01:09:00,200
Speaker 1: everybody else. Now Ohio State and Oregon they don't get

1372
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:03,240
Speaker 1: treated like the rest. And if this is just a

1373
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 1: one off year for Michigan, I would put them right

1374
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:08,519
Speaker 1: there too. Penn State could easily these next couple of

1375
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:11,559
Speaker 1: weeks like okay, they get that treatment as well. Moving forward,

1376
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:13,960
Speaker 1: right if they were to beat Georgia or something like okay,

1377
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 1: I got nope, But all these other programs. Indiana never

1378
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:21,240
Speaker 1: puts anyone in the NFL, Like when do you watch

1379
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:23,439
Speaker 1: NFL games? But oh that guys from Indiana. But all

1380
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:26,280
Speaker 1: these other teams do that we left out and they

1381
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:28,960
Speaker 1: have one more loss and we just go or two

1382
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:31,840
Speaker 1: more losses. Well yeah, how many games would Indiana have

1383
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:33,680
Speaker 1: won in the SEC. How many games would SMU have

1384
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:36,559
Speaker 1: won in the SEC six or seven, and I think

1385
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:38,400
Speaker 1: people push back, like, how do you know that. It's like,

1386
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:41,800
Speaker 1: come on, guys, take your bias out and just watch

1387
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 1: the games. It's the talent discrepancy is. You don't need

1388
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:48,519
Speaker 1: to be the GM of the Baltimore Ravens to see this.

1389
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:50,760
Speaker 1: If you just watch college football. It doesn't mean that

1390
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:53,599
Speaker 1: SMU doesn't have fun games or Indiana throughout the course

1391
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:56,360
Speaker 1: of the season. But when it comes to these twelve teams,

1392
01:09:57,479 --> 01:10:00,680
Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament's pretty easy because like, even if you

1393
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 1: think Indiana's overrated, you can just make them a six

1394
01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:06,720
Speaker 1: seed or seven seed. They're sixty four teams, actually sixty eight,

1395
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 1: but I mean sixty four teams where in this college

1396
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:13,439
Speaker 1: like there's only twelve, So those two spots, those teams

1397
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:16,640
Speaker 1: like that, that's a large percentage of the spots. And

1398
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:19,559
Speaker 1: they were really the two teams we were debating. It'd

1399
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:21,679
Speaker 1: be one. Like, no one's making this argument with Boise

1400
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:25,680
Speaker 1: State or Arizona State. Besides, yeah, they probably shouldn't be

1401
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:27,640
Speaker 1: two and three or three and four, they should be

1402
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 1: eleven and twelve, okay, but they should be in. They

1403
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:33,639
Speaker 1: got it far and square, Like if Indiana had played

1404
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 1: next year. I looked, they go two Penn State, they

1405
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:40,720
Speaker 1: go to Oregon, they go to Iowa. The other thing

1406
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:44,680
Speaker 1: is Signetti. I don't know that much about SMU's coach.

1407
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 1: Clearly he's a pretty impressive guy and he's a good.

1408
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:48,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, he seems like a chiller, like a guy who's

1409
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:50,320
Speaker 3: confident as players, but he's not gonna go out like

1410
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 3: Signetti and say we're gonna beat the shit out of.

1411
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 1: The top twenty five teams. That to me, like that's

1412
01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:58,240
Speaker 1: where I'm not SMU's just not good enough. They got

1413
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:00,759
Speaker 1: work today, but like I don't feel like their program

1414
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 1: was walking around acting like they were Alabama two point zero.

1415
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:07,040
Speaker 1: The Signetti thing got crazy. I mean he went on

1416
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 1: yesterday college game Day and saying the things he said,

1417
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:14,000
Speaker 1: like swearing in front of Saban, which I'm pro swearing,

1418
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:17,440
Speaker 1: but the way he was doing it, when do coaches,

1419
01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:21,599
Speaker 1: let's use college Nick dominated the sport for fifteen years.

1420
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:24,720
Speaker 1: He never talked like that about opponents. Honestly, he was

1421
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:29,120
Speaker 1: the opposite. Kirby is a crazy emotional wreck. Never acts

1422
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 1: like that. You know what, Signetti, what do you think

1423
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:35,679
Speaker 1: is going to happen next year? You've never been relevant

1424
01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:38,479
Speaker 1: on random team schedule. I think he is going to

1425
01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:41,760
Speaker 1: be treated like when you know, if he plays, let's

1426
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:44,679
Speaker 1: just pick some big ten Wisconsin, Minnesota. They will treat

1427
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:47,760
Speaker 1: that game not that much different like Michigan Ohio State

1428
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:49,599
Speaker 1: because of the way that guy carried himself this year,

1429
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:51,280
Speaker 1: and they're just not going to be as good. I'm sorry,

1430
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:55,599
Speaker 1: so I know the point differential. They're in for a

1431
01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:58,160
Speaker 1: wake up call. Yeah, I said this last night. I'll

1432
01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:01,920
Speaker 1: say it again. I'd be impressed if they went six

1433
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:04,799
Speaker 1: and six. I think they were gonna get curb stomped

1434
01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:07,040
Speaker 1: next year. I mean we know, I mean Oregon and

1435
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:09,640
Speaker 1: Penn State would kill him any year, no matter what.

1436
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 1: I think. Iowa at Iowa like I'm already shocking that

1437
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:15,600
Speaker 1: thing up his nail. And then they're just they're just

1438
01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 1: gonna get treated a lot differently than they did this

1439
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 1: year in terms of just gain preparation from opponent. Taken seriously,

1440
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:26,200
Speaker 1: and I'm not huge, like super big, big ten, super

1441
01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 1: talented and like some elite conference, but these coaches have pride. Now,

1442
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:32,559
Speaker 1: I think he acted unlike anything you ever see.

1443
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:35,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the fact that it was it wasn't even

1444
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:36,800
Speaker 3: college game like it was in the morning. It was

1445
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:39,960
Speaker 3: two hours before kick and Shane Gillis made a remark

1446
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 3: which actually was pretty spot on, talking about how he

1447
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:45,559
Speaker 3: came out his team wasn't out there waving at the

1448
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:47,960
Speaker 3: fans before and all the camera of attention that he

1449
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:50,120
Speaker 3: got too. And it was pretty cool to see the

1450
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 3: postgame shake with Marcus Freeman. You could tell all that

1451
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:55,280
Speaker 3: stuff pissed him off. Did to make eye contact with

1452
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 3: him at all.

1453
01:12:56,439 --> 01:13:00,080
Speaker 1: I just I loved it. I uh, I think I

1454
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:03,120
Speaker 1: saw that clip today. I didn't quite realize that makes sense.

1455
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:05,800
Speaker 1: So Gillis was alluding to, I must have missed this.

1456
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:09,679
Speaker 1: He came out inside the stadium like as players warm

1457
01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:10,679
Speaker 1: up and was doing that.

1458
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:13,439
Speaker 3: Just waving out the fans, walking up and down the sideline.

1459
01:13:13,479 --> 01:13:17,040
Speaker 3: His team was inside during that, and then the kickoff

1460
01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:18,320
Speaker 3: comes and the ass.

1461
01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:22,160
Speaker 1: Whooping upon Notre Dame started. Do you know what's crazy

1462
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:24,519
Speaker 1: is he comes from a football family. My cousin that

1463
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:26,960
Speaker 1: play at Fresno State. He was the offensive coordinator his

1464
01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 1: brother in the early two thousands when Fresno State really

1465
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:35,720
Speaker 1: came on the map with like David Carr and I've

1466
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:38,080
Speaker 1: always heard good things about the fan like football family.

1467
01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:41,880
Speaker 1: Usually when you get this crazy, unhinged kind of it's

1468
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:43,960
Speaker 1: usually kind of a younger coach that got a lot

1469
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:47,080
Speaker 1: of success. This guy's like sixty years old. You know,

1470
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 1: he's been at IUPI and James Madison forever. You'd think,

1471
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:54,120
Speaker 1: act like you act, I mean, be true to yourself.

1472
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:56,800
Speaker 1: It does feel though he's putting on a little bit

1473
01:13:56,840 --> 01:13:59,439
Speaker 1: of an act and to do that at Notre Dame.

1474
01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:04,800
Speaker 1: And I know Saban hired him originally, but Saban has

1475
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:06,919
Speaker 1: to be turned off by some of this stuff. It's

1476
01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm not a huge believer in optics and certain things,

1477
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:13,880
Speaker 1: and you just do it to do it, because it

1478
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:16,679
Speaker 1: almost becomes like you're just faking it. But the stuff

1479
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:19,240
Speaker 1: he's doing is almost on the opposite end of the spectrum,

1480
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:22,040
Speaker 1: like why is he doing this? Why is he acting

1481
01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 1: like this? Is it like a stick now that he's

1482
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:27,960
Speaker 1: just playing into and he can't pull back because it

1483
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:31,080
Speaker 1: It was kind of funny until he got curb stopped

1484
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:35,560
Speaker 1: by Ohio State and then got thoroughly embarrassed, which I

1485
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:38,600
Speaker 1: would imagine maybe people turned off the TV. But you

1486
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:42,160
Speaker 1: guys are probably still like the Dallas Cowboys, whether you

1487
01:14:42,240 --> 01:14:43,800
Speaker 1: win to lose. Everyone watched it. I mean, there's a

1488
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:46,160
Speaker 1: chance like fifteen million people watch that first half and

1489
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:49,400
Speaker 1: no one has anything good to say about his team.

1490
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 1: So what's he gonna do? Act like that next year

1491
01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:53,439
Speaker 1: if they're losing, because you can't act like that if

1492
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:54,240
Speaker 1: you're five and seven.

1493
01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:58,599
Speaker 3: But going back to what you're talking about SMU Indiana

1494
01:14:58,640 --> 01:15:03,920
Speaker 3: both being disappointing, it's it's puzzling because yes, they probably

1495
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:06,439
Speaker 3: didn't deserve to get in because of their conference schedules

1496
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:08,800
Speaker 3: and their schedules being weak. But at the same time,

1497
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:11,080
Speaker 3: Lane Kiving out there charping about Ole Miss. It's like,

1498
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:13,439
Speaker 3: I don't feel bad for you having three losses. I

1499
01:15:13,439 --> 01:15:15,920
Speaker 3: don't feel bad for Alabama for losing by twenty one.

1500
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:19,800
Speaker 3: So yeah, I get like, SMU Indiana disappointing. If a

1501
01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:22,240
Speaker 3: SME would have got removed the whole talk of conference

1502
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:24,680
Speaker 3: championships when I went out the window, the whole talk

1503
01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:26,559
Speaker 3: of Indiana. But well, we're eleven and one, Like does

1504
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:29,320
Speaker 3: eleven wins not matter? And then on the flip side,

1505
01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:33,280
Speaker 3: it's like, well Alabama, Ole Miss, you guys kind of choked.

1506
01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:35,560
Speaker 3: So I don't know what the solution is. I just

1507
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:37,799
Speaker 3: think that kind of all just piled on and winded

1508
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 3: up with this. And that's just a kudos of ole

1509
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:44,760
Speaker 3: Miss and Alabama losing to unranked six and six teams.

1510
01:15:44,520 --> 01:15:48,720
Speaker 1: On the road. The difference of what we just witnessed

1511
01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:51,559
Speaker 1: this sixteen or twelve team playoff, but this weekend of

1512
01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:55,360
Speaker 1: the at large bids and let's say the NFL playoffs

1513
01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:58,479
Speaker 1: or the NBA playoffs, Like your record gets you to

1514
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:01,280
Speaker 1: a slot, right, you get a good enough record, you

1515
01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:03,879
Speaker 1: win the division, you get a top four seed. You don't,

1516
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:08,320
Speaker 1: you're a seven seed or whatever college after those four teams.

1517
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:13,280
Speaker 1: It is completely subjective. It's a complete entertainment product. So

1518
01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:16,760
Speaker 1: where I would support Lane is I truly believe that

1519
01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:20,479
Speaker 1: now the way Jackson Dart played against Florida down the stretch,

1520
01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 1: would I wouldn't have much trust. But I'll say this

1521
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:25,519
Speaker 1: the team Florida because of people are like, well, Lane,

1522
01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 1: you got beat by Florida. I think Florida today would

1523
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:35,559
Speaker 1: kill Indiana and SMU if that was under a touchdown spread,

1524
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 1: I would have no problem putting four figures on Florida,

1525
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:43,080
Speaker 1: zero hesitation. Actually, no team sneaky has more momentum right

1526
01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:45,519
Speaker 1: now going in the off season for a non playoff

1527
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:47,479
Speaker 1: team than Florida. They got a lot of good vibes

1528
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:52,160
Speaker 1: coming out of there. But this is an entertainment product. Now,

1529
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:54,559
Speaker 1: I don't mean Alabama and go six and six or

1530
01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:56,360
Speaker 1: Notre Dame go six and six. You're putting them then

1531
01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:59,840
Speaker 1: in just for entertainment. But the gap between Darrel eleven

1532
01:16:59,880 --> 01:17:03,040
Speaker 1: and and Lane's ten and three, and I hear this

1533
01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:06,560
Speaker 1: a lot. You lost to Kentucky. Well, I remember barbecuing

1534
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:09,639
Speaker 1: one night, and there weren't many good games on that night,

1535
01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:12,639
Speaker 1: and the one game was Florida or excuse me, Georgia,

1536
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:17,519
Speaker 1: Kentucky and Kentucky should have won that game and definitely

1537
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 1: could have if Stoops has some more balls and doesn't

1538
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:22,280
Speaker 1: punt in the middle of the field. But Kentucky went

1539
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:25,120
Speaker 1: toe to toe with Georgia, who most people right now

1540
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:27,880
Speaker 1: would say is second or third best team in the country. Right,

1541
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:32,400
Speaker 1: so let's not act like Kentucky, who my guess would

1542
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:36,679
Speaker 1: be minimum five guys from that team get drafted. Where again,

1543
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:40,519
Speaker 1: I got a college director five guys total from Indiana SMU,

1544
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:44,200
Speaker 1: and I'm pretty sure SMU has like three, might have four.

1545
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:49,200
Speaker 1: So it's just I listen, I Lane kisses people off

1546
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:52,080
Speaker 1: in Clatt and going back, Joe Clatt loves the Big ten,

1547
01:17:52,479 --> 01:17:54,320
Speaker 1: so he's very loyal to the Big Ten. And I

1548
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:57,160
Speaker 1: got no problem if you're supporting Ohio State, Michigan over

1549
01:17:57,200 --> 01:18:00,680
Speaker 1: the years, Penn State. But we're talking about Indiana and

1550
01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:03,880
Speaker 1: that's the thing. Like Signetti's big thing was, well, if

1551
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 1: we were one of the blue bloods, we wouldn't have

1552
01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:08,680
Speaker 1: been treated like this. Well, yeah, of course you wouldn't.

1553
01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 1: If Michigan had been eleven and one, I'd be like, well,

1554
01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:14,920
Speaker 1: they just had seventeen guys drafted before that. I feel

1555
01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:17,519
Speaker 1: like every NFL game I watched, they were like three

1556
01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 1: or four Michigan guys on the field starting for these teams. You,

1557
01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:24,439
Speaker 1: as they said in the broadcast, are the worst program

1558
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:26,759
Speaker 1: in the history of its Power four now but powerful

1559
01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:30,599
Speaker 1: football most losing his program. I looked yesterday. That's what's

1560
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:32,840
Speaker 1: sad about this whole thing. They had the greatest hit

1561
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:34,719
Speaker 1: season in the history of the program by a pretty

1562
01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:38,120
Speaker 1: wide margin, and it kind of negates it all. And

1563
01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:41,640
Speaker 1: I think Signetti like he's pissed me off with all

1564
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:44,639
Speaker 1: of it. It's like, come on, man, I liked you talk,

1565
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:46,360
Speaker 1: and I liked you chirping, and then I felt like

1566
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:48,559
Speaker 1: you jumped the shoe, like you just wouldn't let up.

1567
01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:52,200
Speaker 1: And it's just not as cute when you go when

1568
01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:54,360
Speaker 1: you're getting your ass kicked. And then for him to

1569
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:57,000
Speaker 1: say to Saban like top twenty five teams Nebraska, and

1570
01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:59,640
Speaker 1: then he dropped to James Madison against Coastal Carolina as

1571
01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:02,759
Speaker 1: he's talking and Nick sabe and it's like, oh my god, Kurt,

1572
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:09,760
Speaker 1: quiet down, Oh that's so funny. Yeah, this is where

1573
01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:12,160
Speaker 1: I go, like, I think the subjective nature of picking

1574
01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:16,120
Speaker 1: Indiana and SMU, I think those days are done and

1575
01:19:16,200 --> 01:19:18,639
Speaker 1: next hafter they have to win their conference in order

1576
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:20,800
Speaker 1: to get in for those type of teams to get

1577
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:23,000
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. Well, but if if Indiana had been

1578
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:25,160
Speaker 1: eleven in one, but you know one of their wins

1579
01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:28,320
Speaker 1: was Oregon, you know, had a given year or had

1580
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:30,880
Speaker 1: a good I'd have no problem. But I think when

1581
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:33,200
Speaker 1: you when you have a situation where your schedule sucks

1582
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:37,479
Speaker 1: and and you don't have NFL players, because that's the

1583
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:39,720
Speaker 1: argument for you guys, right, well, you know who did

1584
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:41,599
Speaker 1: you really beat? They were top twenty five at the time,

1585
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:43,640
Speaker 1: but it did end up that way. How great like

1586
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:46,400
Speaker 1: Navy and Army if they're your best wins. But it's like,

1587
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:48,680
Speaker 1: watch Notre Dame play the last ten years. Every year

1588
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:52,240
Speaker 1: there countless guy. I know they have an NFL roster,

1589
01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:58,080
Speaker 1: and I just think so comparing like Notre Dame didn't

1590
01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:01,320
Speaker 1: play anybody, Texas didn't play anyway, like Indiana didn't pay anybody.

1591
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:03,720
Speaker 1: It's like, come on, guys, what kind of conversation were

1592
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:05,920
Speaker 1: we having? Now? Every year it would depend like who

1593
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:08,800
Speaker 1: are you picking? Maybe there'd be a year where it's like, yeah,

1594
01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:11,719
Speaker 1: Indiana's your best option. I think this year, looking back,

1595
01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:15,320
Speaker 1: you just can't convince me that South Carolina against Penn

1596
01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:19,800
Speaker 1: State wouldn't have had a or Notre Dame or even Alabama,

1597
01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:22,719
Speaker 1: which is obviously a flawed Alabama team. It's light years

1598
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 1: better than Indiana. So I think Indiana is more way

1599
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:31,880
Speaker 1: more disappointed than SMU, you know, because they never shut up.

1600
01:20:31,880 --> 01:20:34,479
Speaker 1: I never heard SMU talking. They were just kind of

1601
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:37,639
Speaker 1: happy to be there. Yeah, it was the league zero.

1602
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:39,720
Speaker 3: You saw in week zero and then you blink and

1603
01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:41,320
Speaker 3: you're like, oh, they're in They're in the They're in

1604
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:45,040
Speaker 3: the a SEC Championship. Playing with a dynamic quarterback, against Clemson.

1605
01:20:45,560 --> 01:20:47,920
Speaker 3: I was gonna ask you though, out of the four

1606
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:50,280
Speaker 3: teams that won today, so let's say, you know, Georgia,

1607
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:53,519
Speaker 3: Oregon got the first round bys them. Including the four

1608
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:55,719
Speaker 3: teams that won this weekend, you could say are probably

1609
01:20:55,920 --> 01:21:00,000
Speaker 3: the six national champion contenders as we head into the quarterfinals.

1610
01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:02,479
Speaker 3: Which one of the four teams that you saw this weekend,

1611
01:21:02,760 --> 01:21:05,800
Speaker 3: Notre Dame in Penn State, Ohio State, Texas impressed you,

1612
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:08,760
Speaker 3: maybe shocked you more, and now you're more confident in

1613
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:09,679
Speaker 3: them moving forward.

1614
01:21:12,040 --> 01:21:15,559
Speaker 1: I think when you factor in their next opponent, I

1615
01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:17,680
Speaker 1: think you gotta be pretty high on Penn State in

1616
01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:22,560
Speaker 1: Texas because you know, if you put Arizona State in

1617
01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:28,720
Speaker 1: Boise in closer to the Indiana SMU tier, they're just

1618
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:30,960
Speaker 1: gonna get to the conference. You know, the final four

1619
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:37,280
Speaker 1: where Georgia, Notre Dame and Oregon Ohio State. I mean

1620
01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:40,200
Speaker 1: there's a chance both teams, whoever wins, loses a couple

1621
01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:42,080
Speaker 1: guys along the way. I mean that thing's going to

1622
01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:46,280
Speaker 1: be a knockdown, drag out battle. Think about the energy

1623
01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:51,240
Speaker 1: that you have to between Texas and Penn State. I

1624
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:53,519
Speaker 1: think there's a decent chance a lot like the Ohio

1625
01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:55,400
Speaker 1: State game tonight. We see guys getting yanked in the

1626
01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:58,240
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of one of those games. If you're in

1627
01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:00,600
Speaker 1: a game like that where you're against oh State or

1628
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:05,400
Speaker 1: Oregon or Notre Dame Georgia, which I think you gotta

1629
01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:07,600
Speaker 1: like your chances more with the backup quarterback being a

1630
01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:10,519
Speaker 1: full time starter. But still, if you win that game,

1631
01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:12,479
Speaker 1: you're gonna come out. Every guy's going to the ice

1632
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:14,640
Speaker 1: bath that night and then again in the morning. So

1633
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:18,720
Speaker 1: it's so I think Texas and Penn State, if you're

1634
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:20,559
Speaker 1: that and you're kind of looking at the bracket, you're like,

1635
01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:24,439
Speaker 1: could this be a year? And then both those teams

1636
01:22:24,520 --> 01:22:27,040
Speaker 1: are playing the winner of the knockdown dryouts.

1637
01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:30,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, the loser of that Oregon Ohio State game is

1638
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:33,200
Speaker 3: gonna be hurting. And you're right about Notre Dame Georgia,

1639
01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:35,120
Speaker 3: and then you have to face a physical team in

1640
01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:38,759
Speaker 3: Penn State that next week who similar playing style to Georgia,

1641
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:41,559
Speaker 3: better quarterback, they like to run the football too, and

1642
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:44,000
Speaker 3: they got a ground and pound front seven just like

1643
01:22:44,040 --> 01:22:44,639
Speaker 3: Georgia did.

1644
01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:50,719
Speaker 1: I think Penn State had the best weekend because no offense,

1645
01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:54,840
Speaker 1: but most people think, you know, is Notre Dame would

1646
01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:57,320
Speaker 1: be pretty shocking to win the national title. You agree

1647
01:22:57,320 --> 01:22:59,559
Speaker 1: with that. I think you'd be shocking to be Georgia

1648
01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:03,000
Speaker 1: then in two weeks exactly, And if they beat Georgia

1649
01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:04,479
Speaker 1: and then lost the next week, it would be an

1650
01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:08,760
Speaker 1: incredible season for Marcus Freeman Texas. Ohio State, most people

1651
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:11,599
Speaker 1: thought they were gonna win the national championship this year, right,

1652
01:23:12,600 --> 01:23:14,800
Speaker 1: Like fans of those teams like, we can win the

1653
01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 1: national championship, and they weren't wrong. Twenty million dollars roster.

1654
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:20,920
Speaker 1: Same thing with Oregon and same thing with Georgia. I

1655
01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:23,800
Speaker 1: think Penn State had a lot of questions, not because

1656
01:23:23,800 --> 01:23:25,720
Speaker 1: their team wasn't good enough, but the coach never won

1657
01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:28,320
Speaker 1: a big game. Then they lose that Ohio State game

1658
01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:30,200
Speaker 1: the way they did. They run it up the gut

1659
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:32,160
Speaker 1: when they're the goal line looking back, like why didn't

1660
01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:36,120
Speaker 1: they just run wildcat with Warren or something? You know,

1661
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:39,640
Speaker 1: he's he can like turn into a running back. Guys, sweet,

1662
01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:42,840
Speaker 1: I think you watched them today. They're high end if

1663
01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:45,160
Speaker 1: they're just and I understand it's SMU, but got the

1664
01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:47,720
Speaker 1: talent on that team. The coaches just got to get

1665
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:52,960
Speaker 1: out of the way. And I think Franklin I thought

1666
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:55,760
Speaker 1: early today, a lot like Ryan Day Michigan. Just you

1667
01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:57,720
Speaker 1: could feel him tight. And then once they got the

1668
01:23:57,720 --> 01:24:00,719
Speaker 1: pick six, he started smiling. He loosened and I felt

1669
01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:03,559
Speaker 1: like everyone loosened up. So to me, they got to

1670
01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:06,920
Speaker 1: you know, can he be loose enough? Your guy is

1671
01:24:06,960 --> 01:24:09,320
Speaker 1: pretty loose. He's ow Ryan Day today, I thought came

1672
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:12,559
Speaker 1: in pretty confident. Sarks become like a new man. I

1673
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:15,360
Speaker 1: feel like these last two years he's much looser, and

1674
01:24:15,400 --> 01:24:17,840
Speaker 1: I think that's important for nineteen twenty year old guys.

1675
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:20,600
Speaker 1: You can't be super tight. You know. Saban had this

1676
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:22,360
Speaker 1: great balance of like you thought he was tight, but

1677
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:24,920
Speaker 1: he's actually watches like pregame speeches. You're like, this fucking

1678
01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:27,840
Speaker 1: guy's ready to roll. You know. I think Kirby's great

1679
01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:32,760
Speaker 1: at that, right he just just fire breathing, crazy asshole

1680
01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:35,479
Speaker 1: pre game, but in a loose like we're ready to

1681
01:24:35,560 --> 01:24:38,120
Speaker 1: kick assway And you know, Ryan Day was the opposite

1682
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 1: of that Michigan game and you could feel it, and

1683
01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 1: then his team played like that. If James can loosen

1684
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:44,680
Speaker 1: up a little bit, there's no disputing the talent, you know.

1685
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:47,240
Speaker 1: I mean, like if you just gave Kirby smart, Penn

1686
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:49,240
Speaker 1: State's roster tomorrow and said you got to play with

1687
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:51,559
Speaker 1: this team the next three games. He wouldn't be disappointed. Hell,

1688
01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:54,000
Speaker 1: he'd get a better quarterback than he has right now.

1689
01:24:54,479 --> 01:24:59,559
Speaker 1: So I think Penn State. I don't want to say

1690
01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:02,639
Speaker 1: they can win national championship because it'd be pretty saying

1691
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:05,320
Speaker 1: James Franklin won the national championship, but they definitely have it.

1692
01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:07,960
Speaker 1: They definitely have the talent on the team to compete

1693
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:11,640
Speaker 1: for one like truly with the other the five. But

1694
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 1: the five has been you know, everyone thought Oregon, Ohio State,

1695
01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:18,920
Speaker 1: Texas for sure, and even Georgia up and down, like

1696
01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:21,720
Speaker 1: their high end so high it was like Defenn State

1697
01:25:21,840 --> 01:25:27,000
Speaker 1: in that crew. And honestly, I think, you guys, Notre

1698
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:30,479
Speaker 1: Dame was made to play cold weather outdoor football. If

1699
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:33,360
Speaker 1: every game was like that game at South Bend or

1700
01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:35,400
Speaker 1: outside in freezing cold, they would be tough to be

1701
01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:39,040
Speaker 1: kind of gets neutralized. Isn't the game in New Orleans?

1702
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:42,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're playing the Sugar Bowl New Orleans. Yeah, so

1703
01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:45,320
Speaker 3: it inside for Notre Dame. But I think to start

1704
01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:47,680
Speaker 3: out with that, I get there's a lot of negativity

1705
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:51,280
Speaker 3: around SMU Indiana, but all four of those environments were

1706
01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:54,320
Speaker 3: ten out of ten, like for that to have the

1707
01:25:54,400 --> 01:25:56,559
Speaker 3: on campus games in the games did it'd.

1708
01:25:56,400 --> 01:25:57,800
Speaker 1: Turned out the way we all wanted it to.

1709
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:00,400
Speaker 3: It was pretty freaking cool seeing the lead up to it,

1710
01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:03,320
Speaker 3: seeing you know, the smack talk going back and forth.

1711
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:05,519
Speaker 3: And I mean, I guess we got a good game

1712
01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:07,040
Speaker 3: with Texas Notre Dame.

1713
01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:09,639
Speaker 1: I guess towards the end. But it'll be fun.

1714
01:26:09,680 --> 01:26:11,639
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm excited to watch these next four games,

1715
01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:13,320
Speaker 3: and you hope that I know two of them for

1716
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:16,080
Speaker 3: sure will be barn Burner games to watch out for.

1717
01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:17,720
Speaker 3: And you hope that Arizona State and you hope that

1718
01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:20,120
Speaker 3: Boise State can get things going keep it close to

1719
01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:20,679
Speaker 3: Penn State.

1720
01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:22,439
Speaker 1: But I don't know.

1721
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:25,000
Speaker 3: It was a bummer both the blowouts, but I think

1722
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:28,000
Speaker 3: the atmosphere has definitely helped out with a good weekend.

1723
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:30,680
Speaker 1: I will say this too, the nil And there's a

1724
01:26:30,720 --> 01:26:34,920
Speaker 1: lot of like negativity around college football, and some of

1725
01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:37,559
Speaker 1: it's understandable. You hear some of these stories. You know,

1726
01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:39,200
Speaker 1: if you know a coach or whatever, you're like, God,

1727
01:26:39,240 --> 01:26:43,519
Speaker 1: that's crazy, you know it is. It's pretty intense, and

1728
01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 1: you can be like pro paying guys and think that

1729
01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:50,160
Speaker 1: it's out of control. But when you watch these guys play,

1730
01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:53,080
Speaker 1: you're like, these guys are playing their ass off. You

1731
01:26:53,120 --> 01:26:56,880
Speaker 1: watch Riley Leonard or Will Howard or Niko today, it's

1732
01:26:56,880 --> 01:27:00,320
Speaker 1: like these guys are just laying it out. Even Indian,

1733
01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:04,760
Speaker 1: like I will say this, I've I thought Indiana was embarrassing.

1734
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:08,120
Speaker 1: Their defensive effort wasn't bad. They were playing their balls off.

1735
01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:10,800
Speaker 1: They were really their defensive line is not bad, and

1736
01:27:10,840 --> 01:27:12,799
Speaker 1: they definitely have a couple of dbs that are solid.

1737
01:27:13,479 --> 01:27:16,320
Speaker 1: You know, their offense is a joke against a good team,

1738
01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:20,400
Speaker 1: But defensively, I don't think their defensive linemen that Carpenter

1739
01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 1: like they guys should hang their head like they they

1740
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:24,920
Speaker 1: showed up ready to play. And that's where I think

1741
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:28,200
Speaker 1: it was cool about. You know, once the ball's kicked

1742
01:27:28,200 --> 01:27:30,760
Speaker 1: off in football, you know you can get away with

1743
01:27:30,800 --> 01:27:33,160
Speaker 1: it baseball or basketball, if you're pissed off, or if

1744
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:35,800
Speaker 1: this was college, it's a nil and your man. You

1745
01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:38,679
Speaker 1: either go in an environment like these like you better.

1746
01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:41,360
Speaker 1: You might lose and you might get worked, but if

1747
01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:44,360
Speaker 1: you go half assed, you will get injured. And I

1748
01:27:44,360 --> 01:27:47,920
Speaker 1: thought everyone, you know, obviously SMU and Indiana were overwhelmed,

1749
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:51,400
Speaker 1: but everyone played hard.

1750
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:55,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've You've had a busy couple of days. I mean,

1751
01:27:55,160 --> 01:27:56,880
Speaker 3: I know Kirk Kurbstreet. You know they say he's the

1752
01:27:56,880 --> 01:28:00,519
Speaker 3: hardest man working in sports, like middle Koff maybe so place.

1753
01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:02,960
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, Indiana, notre name. You have the Monday

1754
01:28:02,960 --> 01:28:05,400
Speaker 3: can get the games today for the NFL college football.

1755
01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:07,360
Speaker 1: You got a hold NFL slate tomorrow. It's impressive, man,

1756
01:28:08,200 --> 01:28:10,679
Speaker 1: we got I think we knocked off though. The one

1757
01:28:10,680 --> 01:28:13,519
Speaker 1: thing is when they're Saturday games and Thursday games, Sunday

1758
01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:15,640
Speaker 1: is a little easier, there's not as many and the

1759
01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:18,920
Speaker 1: morning slate tomorrow is terrible. I might get like a

1760
01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:20,960
Speaker 1: workout like ten am to sleep in a little bit,

1761
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:23,720
Speaker 1: but Herbstreet has to put on a suit. Now. He

1762
01:28:23,760 --> 01:28:26,680
Speaker 1: does fly private, so it's it's not as crazy as

1763
01:28:26,680 --> 01:28:29,800
Speaker 1: travel like all those guys like McAfee and Sabing and

1764
01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:31,960
Speaker 1: they're just criding. It's like, yeah, they do get into

1765
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:34,479
Speaker 1: a PJ. They're not going to a commercial airline. But

1766
01:28:34,520 --> 01:28:36,920
Speaker 1: still it's you're out there, it's freezing cold. You could

1767
01:28:36,920 --> 01:28:40,559
Speaker 1: tell Nick, older man, southern guy, like it was cold

1768
01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:43,040
Speaker 1: for him. Like by the end of a segment he

1769
01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:45,960
Speaker 1: struggled to talk. I kind of felt bad for him.

1770
01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:48,280
Speaker 1: He's like, he's gotta be freezing his ass off. The

1771
01:28:48,439 --> 01:28:54,360
Speaker 1: nickname Alabama Jones had so weak. So I gotta ask

1772
01:28:54,360 --> 01:28:56,800
Speaker 1: you this one more question before we get off. So

1773
01:28:56,800 --> 01:28:57,879
Speaker 1: you're obviously engaged.

1774
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:01,880
Speaker 3: How long did it take for your fiance to be

1775
01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:04,519
Speaker 3: okay with you watching football for the entire day? Because

1776
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:07,000
Speaker 3: I want to prepare for that when I have a girlfriend. Hey, honey,

1777
01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:10,080
Speaker 3: i'm working. You need to watch football for three days straight.

1778
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:15,400
Speaker 3: We got to have multiple rooms because she'll watch NFL.

1779
01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:17,519
Speaker 3: You know, I was like, hey, watch the Chiefs game.

1780
01:29:18,560 --> 01:29:21,400
Speaker 3: But tonight the first half when.

1781
01:29:21,240 --> 01:29:22,559
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, you want to watch Ohio State

1782
01:29:22,640 --> 01:29:26,000
Speaker 1: Rocket Top, She's like, yeah, no, not really, So I

1783
01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:28,200
Speaker 1: watched in the office. The second half she watched it.

1784
01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:30,599
Speaker 1: So it just you gotta pick your spots. The NFL.

1785
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:35,680
Speaker 1: She'll watch any game whatever, but college. I can't just

1786
01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:38,080
Speaker 1: throw out SMU Penn State and get her to dial in.

1787
01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:40,160
Speaker 1: So you just gotta you gotta have a man cave

1788
01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:42,680
Speaker 1: or whatever to mix it up. She had a good

1789
01:29:42,720 --> 01:29:44,479
Speaker 1: She had a good call with the Tennessee game. Though

1790
01:29:44,560 --> 01:29:48,600
Speaker 1: she likes the atmosphere and stuff with college football. She

1791
01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:53,720
Speaker 1: loves Herbstree's dog, but I think the the volume of

1792
01:29:53,800 --> 01:29:56,120
Speaker 1: college that's the thing. You know, in the NFL, there's

1793
01:29:56,200 --> 01:30:00,320
Speaker 1: just a couple slots right of games. College football, She's

1794
01:30:00,320 --> 01:30:04,880
Speaker 1: a little confused because I'll wake up during season, I

1795
01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:07,440
Speaker 1: don't know, you know, seven thirty something on a Saturday,

1796
01:30:08,040 --> 01:30:09,920
Speaker 1: be out there for a couple hours watching college the

1797
01:30:09,920 --> 01:30:12,639
Speaker 1: game day, then maybe go to the gym or whatever,

1798
01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:15,200
Speaker 1: but get back that morning game still going. Then there's

1799
01:30:15,240 --> 01:30:18,160
Speaker 1: the day game, then there's the night game, and then boom,

1800
01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:21,360
Speaker 1: Boise State, Washington State, you know, at nine o'clock kick on.

1801
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:24,680
Speaker 1: She just can't get over how much inventory. I'm like, well,

1802
01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:27,519
Speaker 1: there's a lot of programs. They play different time slots.

1803
01:30:27,960 --> 01:30:29,800
Speaker 1: Like she just knows, like what time's a Niner game tomorrow,

1804
01:30:29,880 --> 01:30:32,760
Speaker 1: eleven or two? Right, it is not that complicated. We're

1805
01:30:32,800 --> 01:30:34,839
Speaker 1: in college. It could be like six different time slots

1806
01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:37,000
Speaker 1: and maybe on a Friday night. You know, you just

1807
01:30:37,479 --> 01:30:41,080
Speaker 1: never know when it's coming, so you just you know. Luckily,

1808
01:30:41,120 --> 01:30:43,200
Speaker 1: it provides a good life, so she enjoys it. She

1809
01:30:43,680 --> 01:30:48,040
Speaker 1: likes football the college. She doesn't quite understand all the personalities.

1810
01:30:48,080 --> 01:30:50,360
Speaker 1: But when we went to Oklahoma and we sat in

1811
01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:52,280
Speaker 1: the stands, they have a bunch of chances. She thought

1812
01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:55,320
Speaker 1: it was really cool. Honestly, going to a game if

1813
01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:58,320
Speaker 1: you don't know much about college football will draw you

1814
01:30:58,400 --> 01:31:01,160
Speaker 1: in to then become a fan because you're just not

1815
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:02,920
Speaker 1: gonna know the players. It's like she doesn't know who

1816
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:05,439
Speaker 1: Josh Hipel is, but you take her to Oklahoma game,

1817
01:31:05,479 --> 01:31:08,080
Speaker 1: who was terrible, and they're doing these fucking chants, doing

1818
01:31:08,160 --> 01:31:11,080
Speaker 1: downward horns at McConaughey when he's ten feet away from us.

1819
01:31:11,760 --> 01:31:13,880
Speaker 1: That's it's pretty bad at You don't even need to

1820
01:31:13,960 --> 01:31:17,880
Speaker 1: like football to go. I mean, it's I'd recommend anyone

1821
01:31:18,080 --> 01:31:20,280
Speaker 1: just go to a good college football game. It's just

1822
01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:23,120
Speaker 1: a it's like an it's like a concert, right, yeah,

1823
01:31:23,800 --> 01:31:25,519
Speaker 1: a home atmosphere. Yeah.

1824
01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:28,559
Speaker 3: I mean that being her first game too, or one

1825
01:31:28,600 --> 01:31:30,000
Speaker 3: of her first games of the season made a red

1826
01:31:30,080 --> 01:31:32,000
Speaker 3: River rivalry split down the middle.

1827
01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:35,280
Speaker 1: That was sick the first thirty minutes of the game.

1828
01:31:35,320 --> 01:31:38,360
Speaker 1: We're sick. But again, like in a situation like that,

1829
01:31:38,880 --> 01:31:41,760
Speaker 1: you tailgate, you get to the game, like we sat

1830
01:31:41,760 --> 01:31:43,519
Speaker 1: in our seats forty five minutes early, and the whole

1831
01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:45,800
Speaker 1: place was packed. Like you saw to night like last

1832
01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:47,599
Speaker 1: night a Notre Dame. They were showing like thirty minutes,

1833
01:31:47,600 --> 01:31:50,519
Speaker 1: Like this place is already packed and there's there's a buzz.

1834
01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:52,479
Speaker 1: It's like you're waiting to see like Elvis or the

1835
01:31:52,520 --> 01:31:55,400
Speaker 1: Beatles or something. Now. Then once you're there, you need

1836
01:31:55,439 --> 01:31:57,600
Speaker 1: the game to be good, to be entertaining, which is

1837
01:31:57,640 --> 01:32:00,320
Speaker 1: out of everyone's control. But there's nothing like the college game,

1838
01:32:00,600 --> 01:32:03,800
Speaker 1: the atmosphere leading into the game. It's not like that

1839
01:32:03,840 --> 01:32:05,800
Speaker 1: in the end. I've been to a million NFL games.

1840
01:32:05,840 --> 01:32:09,439
Speaker 1: It's maybe a huge playoff game, but you're random play

1841
01:32:09,439 --> 01:32:12,880
Speaker 1: it regular season game, even if it's big, doesn't have

1842
01:32:12,960 --> 01:32:17,240
Speaker 1: that kind of like the pageantry around it. I feel you.

1843
01:32:17,320 --> 01:32:21,280
Speaker 3: Okay, so noted, noted, Gotta make it a career. Gotta

1844
01:32:21,320 --> 01:32:24,400
Speaker 3: have your own space, Gotta slowly get her in the sport.

1845
01:32:24,479 --> 01:32:26,519
Speaker 3: Gotta go out to a college football game. And that's

1846
01:32:26,520 --> 01:32:27,120
Speaker 3: how you get her done.

1847
01:32:27,280 --> 01:32:28,920
Speaker 1: Ideally, they have it built it like she was a

1848
01:32:28,920 --> 01:32:31,200
Speaker 1: big Niner fan growing up, so she likes she has

1849
01:32:31,240 --> 01:32:35,040
Speaker 1: a team, and then she falls enough for the NFL,

1850
01:32:35,040 --> 01:32:37,920
Speaker 1: Like she knows all the quarterbacks gets into certain teams.

1851
01:32:38,400 --> 01:32:41,040
Speaker 1: You know, the Niners have so many coaches, like she

1852
01:32:41,120 --> 01:32:44,080
Speaker 1: follows Robert Solo, Mike McDaniel, all these guys right, So

1853
01:32:44,120 --> 01:32:45,840
Speaker 1: it's easy. It kind of just breaks off and then

1854
01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:48,519
Speaker 1: it just grows like a like germinates like a tree,

1855
01:32:48,560 --> 01:32:50,680
Speaker 1: and then a bunch of branches come off, and then

1856
01:32:50,720 --> 01:32:53,240
Speaker 1: you add a new tree in college football. But you

1857
01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:55,400
Speaker 1: got to do that slowly because it's there's a lot

1858
01:32:55,439 --> 01:32:58,040
Speaker 1: going on in college football, Like we haven't even broached

1859
01:32:58,080 --> 01:33:01,240
Speaker 1: like nil and transfer portal. She couldn't even fathom.

1860
01:33:01,479 --> 01:33:03,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, all this stuff that hit this year, there's no

1861
01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:06,120
Speaker 3: way that that would take anybody a minute to figure

1862
01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:06,960
Speaker 3: out too much.

1863
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:10,200
Speaker 1: Okay, off to bed, Jackson. Have a merry Christmas, have

1864
01:33:10,240 --> 01:33:14,639
Speaker 1: a good week, and uh we'll talk after Christmas. Leading

01:33:14,640 --> 01:33:18,680

01:33:18,880 --> 01:33:24,799
