00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 2: Welcome to the solid verbal ull that.

00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 3: For me, I'm a man, I'm for it.

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 4: I've heard so many players say, well, I want to

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 4: be happy. You want to be happy for day?

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 2: Edith Steak is that woo woo? And Dan and Tie.

7

Speaker 1: how are you?

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 4: I'm so excited for the show, Ty, I don't want

12
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 4: to do any preamble. I don't want to do any housekeeping.

13
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 4: I just want to get into this horrifically stupid and

14
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 4: also borderline incredible show that I think we're going to do.

15
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: It's a June show. No other college football shows are

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,639
Speaker 1: trying this concept. Yeah, but we got that.

17
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 4: I'm almost at the point where I don't even want

18
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 4: to record during the season. I just want to come

19
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 4: up with the stupidest possible ways to talk about this

20
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,760

Speaker 2: This show has been a long time in the makings.

35
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 4: Dan So describe the origin of the Shark Tank concept. Okay, so,

36
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 4: I didn't go back and listen. I had to look

37
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 4: it up based on social media replies that people enjoyed

38
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 4: me randomly as far as I could put together the

39
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 4: pieces doing a Paul Christ impression during last August's Big

40
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 4: ten preview episode or episodes pitching a new Wisconsin, a

41
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 4: new Graham Mertz or something last year. And I did

42
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 4: it with Paul Chris sounding like Ere a little bit.

43
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: There was an eer quality too.

44
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 4: Ay, Sharks, I'm Paul, and I'm here to convince you as.

45
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 2: You were doing it.

46
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: I jotted down shark Tank theme in a note book, Yeah,

47
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: and we kept it under our hats. We've been working

48
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: on the concept now for close to a year.

49
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 2: In today's the day.

50
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 4: I actually saw. I think it might have been earlier

51
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 4: today as we record this on Wednesday, the twenty first.

52
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,559
Speaker 4: Andy Staples, who is going to be joining us momentarily.

53
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 4: I think he had a Twitter interaction with somebody who

54
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 4: asked him if this should be considered a lame duck

55
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 4: season because of how novel the twenty twenty four season is,

56
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 4: and he said, of course not. You know, it's college football.

57
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 4: It's wonderful, it's the best, and we should treasure at

58
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 4: anytime we have it. But flip side counter, I still

59
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 4: think the moves of twenty twenty four and there's a

60
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 4: lot changing, obviously with the Playoff, with the new teams

61
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 4: in the Big Ten in the SEC, obviously, the release

62
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 4: of the new NCAA or college footballa sports game. There's

63
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 4: a lot that's going to be new and novel about

64
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty four season. I think that still looms

65
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 4: over the twenty twenty three season, which is kind of

66
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 4: why we're doing this show today.

67
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: The purpose of this show is to pitch various what

68
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: we're calling new products to a pool of sharks.

69
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 4: Each of us we're going to rotate. We've each selected

70
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 4: one of the four teams joining the Big Ten in

71
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 4: the SEC next year, and we're going to pitch a shark,

72
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 4: our main shark aka mister Blunderful, a shark or a sark,

73
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 4: a sorr, A sorry shark that's right, aka mister Blunderful

74
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 4: aka free agent at the moment, Andy Staples, formerly of

75
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 4: Sports Illustrated, formerly of the Athletic soon to be at

76
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 4: a new place that we cannot divulge today. And also

77
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 4: the other guest shark will be the Soliverbal host who's

78
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 4: not pitching USC, UCLA, Texas or Oklahoma. And the pitch

79
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 4: is we are searching for emotional investment in this team's

80
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 4: upside and success in their new conference in twenty twenty four?

81
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 4: Did I describe that adequately to.

82
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: I think so, mister wonderful slash mister Blunderful, welcome back

83
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: to the Soliverbal.

84
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: I see you've come dressed for the occasion. I found

85
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: my whitest tie, Yes, found my white and set in

86
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: my most comfortable chair. The Sharks are always in very

87
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 2: comfortable for of course.

88
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 5: First up a new offense looking to spice up an

89
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 5: old conference.

90
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: Hey, Sarks, my name is Gene Block and I've been

91
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: the chancellor at UCLA since two thousand and seven. Today

92
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: I'm seeking your emotional investment in our Bruins football team

93
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: becoming a contender in its new conference. Within five years, Sarks,

94
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: college football has truly entered uncharted waters, but exciting waters.

95
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: The sport is bigger now than ever before, and conferences

96
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: have finally realized that geography is just an artificial construct,

97
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: especially in a world with jetplanes. Last summer, we joined

98
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: the Big Ten, a conference based in Chicago that desperately

99
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: needed to break into our exciting LA TV market. It's

100
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: a win win for everyone involved.

101
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 2: Maybe not everyone.

102
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: To our new conference foes, we say, be careful what

103
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: you wish for. UCLA might be new to some of you,

104
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: but we've been making waves since our first national championship

105
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,559
Speaker 1: in nineteen fifty four and most recently since Chip Kelly

106
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: took over in twenty eighteen. Chip's been a revolutionary. He's

107
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: dominated college football and pro football at all levels, from

108
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: coast to coast, and in just a short time, our

109
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: offense has become so good that our defense doesn't even

110
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: need to play. Our program practically recruits itself. And just

111
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: a few months ago we landed our highest quarterback recruit

112
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: of all time. In just five seasons with him, we've

113
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: gone from a three win team to a nine win dynamo.

114
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: Can you imagine where we'll be in five years from now? So,

115
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 1: which of you Sarks smells big ten blood in the

116
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: water and once in on this once in a lifetime

117
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: offer Bruin in Westwood?

118
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 5: Gee.

119
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: I appreciate the commitment because if you actually watch Shark

120
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 2: Tank win the people, it sounds like the producers have said,

121
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 2: have you ever watched Wheel of Fortune? I need you

122
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 2: to take it up about ten more notches from the

123
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 2: average Wheel of Fortune contestant. So I appreciate that. What

124
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: I don't appreciate is the the lack of commitment to defense.

125
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 2: This is the big pen, for God's sake. Have you

126
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: met Brett Bielima? Have you ever watched an Iowa game?

127
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 2: You may run into a situation where that Chip Kelly offense,

128
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 2: as good as it seems to be getting, just may

129
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: not get the job quite done. I mean, you've got

130
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: a defense right now that Iowa can score on, and

131
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: that is a concern for me.

132
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 4: I think I echo my fellow shark, my fellow sark

133
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 4: sentiment here. Now my question to you is what is

134
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 4: UCLA doing? What are you doing R and D wise,

135
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 4: what are you doing in the lab over there, mister

136
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 4: block to ensure that UCLA is becoming Big ten?

137
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: Ready?

138
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 4: You talk about having this new quarterback, the highest rated

139
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 4: quarterback recruit. Ever, how many games has he started, how

140
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 4: many games has he played? Who is he throwing to?

141
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 4: Who's blocking for him? Because this is this is a

142
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 4: whole new deal. So what have you done to ensure

143
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 4: that your product is something that Andy and I can say, No, no,

144
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 4: we're not watching this SEC game. We're not watching this

145
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 4: Big twelve or ACC matchup. We're watching UCLA host Michigan

146
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 4: or Ohio State or Penn State. What is it that

147
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 4: you've done in the lab to enhance this product?

148
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: Well, Starks, respectfully, I sort of I feel slighted at

149
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: the notion that the defense hasn't improved. Chip Kelly took over. Obviously,

150
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,599
Speaker 1: he built an offensive juggernaut, but the defense that was

151
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: on the field last season, though we acknowledge has room

152
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: for improvement.

153
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 2: Was the best.

154
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: Frankly since the Obama administration. It has gotten better in

155
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: the time that ship has been with our bruins. Beyond that,

156
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: at we play in the Rose Bowl.

157
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: We play it.

158
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: It's the most legendary stadium in college football. Every Big

159
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 1: Ten team wants.

160
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: To play in the Rose Bowl. At the end of

161
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: the year. You don't want to play in it when

162
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 2: you're playing there in.

163
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: The shadow of the beautiful San Gabriel Mountains.

164
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 2: Andy, I'm just trying to figure out how I'm gonna

165
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 2: get a royalty out of this. I feel like per

166
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: Win is asking a bit much.

167
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 4: I so well, let's ask let's ask Jane what his

168
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 4: projections are?

169
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, what is what is your what is your

170
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: win projection? Like what we know what you're winning now? Gene,

171
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 2: what are you projecting twenty twenty four and beyond Well,

172
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 2: it's hard to say.

173
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: Andy, I'm you know, I try to deal in reality.

174
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: And what I can tell you about reality here is

175
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: that a few years back we open up the Wasserman

176
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: Football Center, cost us about sixty five million dollars to

177
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: build the state of the art weight room, meeting rooms,

178
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: gorgeous deck, if you want to come by and watch

179
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 1: practice sometime and get a barbershop new do whatever you're into.

180
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: We've made a commitment on the defensive side of the ball.

181
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: To answer your question, Danton Lynn takes over as our

182
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator this year, thirty three year old son of

183
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn, former Chargers coach. Recently, Danton was a safety's

184
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: coach with the Ravens. So we're trying to steer into

185
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: the things that we know make UCLA football great. Right now,

186
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: that's the offense. We project that the defense will improve,

187
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: and certainly as we step foot into the Big Ten,

188
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: we project an offense like no one's ever seen before

189
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: outside of Columbus Ohio. We project that this is really

190
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: going to take the conference by storm. And if you're

191
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: going to go do battle.

192
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 2: With Team G, you know that USC is also coming

193
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 2: with you. Right But we're here to talk about UCLA.

194
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 2: We can't project out what USC is going to do. Okay,

195
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 2: Chip Kelly is an innovator. He is dominated in nine

196
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 2: years of coaching college football games, seventy.

197
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: Three and thirty six career record. You're just not going

198
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: to find that around any corner.

199
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: I will tell you I have been very impressed by

200
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 2: the attempt to midwesternize this roster. You go out and

201
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 2: get Dante More from Detroit, highest rated quarterback signee UCLA history, unbelievable,

202
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 2: He's gonna Cole's not gonna bother him.

203
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 4: You adopted the.

204
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 2: Darkness, he grew up in it. I got that. You

205
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: go get Carson Steele, running back transfer from Ball State.

206
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 2: Grew up in Greenwood, Indiana. That is Indianapolis's finest suburb,

207
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 2: the best cheesecake factory in metro Indianapolis.

208
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 4: As we all know.

209
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: He also has a pen alligator. This guy is not

210
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 2: afraid of Brett Bielima and the Aliani defense. He's not

211
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: afraid of Phil Parker and the Iowa defense. He's not

212
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: worried about these things. I do appreciate that. I appreciate

213
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 2: Gene your patience with Chip Kelly over the years, because

214
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: it looked like they were gonna be a three win

215
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 2: team forever, and Chip said, we're watering the bamboo, and

216
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: the bamboo sprouted. And I will say, the offense that

217
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 2: Chip Kelly has adopted does feel like something that can

218
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 2: be successful in the Big Ten in November. So I

219
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: like what you're doing here. But I just I mean,

220
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 2: what kind of investment are you looking for from me

221
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 2: as a fan in your success?

222
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: I think, well, first off, I'm here to make a deal.

223
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: Just need to let you know we're here to make

224
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: a deal. We're here to get you on board. I

225
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: think we're here to recruit you as a fan. But

226
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: what we're selling and what we want your emotional investment in,

227
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: mister Blunderful, mister wonderful, is the Bruins becoming a contender

228
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten within five years?

229
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 2: Wow, we see it. I need to add this music.

230
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 2: This makes it better if I just add a.

231
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 5: Little bit of this here.

232
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 2: I saw this on the show. Continue.

233
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 4: I'm an encounter. I'll invest my attention if you can

234
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 4: talk to me about a nine win program, and I

235
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 4: will invest emotionally in watching UCLA. If and this is

236
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 4: my condition, if Dante mor starts, I'm watching UCLA. Anybody

237
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 4: else starting at quarterback, I'm out.

238
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 2: I'm anna counter. Oh, I want Colin Schlee starting at quarterback.

239
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: Oh who had the most successful game as a quarterback

240
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 2: against the national champion Georgia Bulldogs in twenty twenty two,

241
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 2: Kent State's Colin Slee regular.

242
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 4: So I think it was c J. Stroud otherwise?

243
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, regular season, regular course? Yeah, who would remember CJ.

244
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 2: Stroud against Georgia in the in the Peach Bowl? Who

245
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 2: watched that game?

246
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 4: Really?

247
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 2: We all watch the Kent's State, We all watched Kate.

248
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: So I want, I want Colin Schlee watering more bamboo

249
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: for UCLA this year to prepare them for the Big Ten.

250
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 2: And Dante Moore gets his reps, comes in in some

251
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 2: blowouts and he's ready to roll your two for him

252
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 2: year one in the Big Ten. But I am, mister wonderful.

253
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 2: I do I do need a royalty here. I want

254
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna need a quarter for every time UCLA makes

255
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 2: us smile in twenty twenty four makes okay, makes you smile? Okay, yeah, okay?

256

Speaker 2: How many times do you think you're gonna make me smile?

257
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: How many quarters do you think you're gonna have to pay? Well,

258
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 2: the good news is that with our move to.

259
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: The Big Ten, we'll be making about seventy million annually,

260
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: which beautifully can help us wipe out the one hundred

261
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: and two point eight million dollars of debt that both

262
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: of the Sarks forgot to ask about.

263
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 2: So I'm happy about that. We're willing to make it differ.

264
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 2: We make it under armour, under armour. Screws you, guys.

265
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 2: We know, we know, we're here to make a deal.

266
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 4: I'm gonna need a Pastromi sandwich from the Oinkster in

267
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 4: nearby Eagle Rock, California. Every single time UCLA beats a

268
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 4: ranked Big Ten team, the choice is yours, Gene, which

269
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 4: do you are you taking?

270
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 2: We're gonna go. I think we're gonna go with you, Dan.

271
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 4: Oh, good wise, decision wise, decision.

272
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 2: Sorry more, You're you're gonna have some trouble this year

273
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 2: in a loaded Pac twelve. Just throw the kid to

274
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: the wolves. Colin Schlee could have been your sacrificial lamb.

275
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 2: All right, Dan, here we go?

276
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 3: Great Dan, Okay, next up La Cool looking to heat

277
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 3: up the Midwestern court. I'm just Dan.

278
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 4: I'm not a chancellor, I'm not a university president. I'm

279
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 4: here as you're not Carol Fult. I'm not Carol Fault.

280
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 4: I did an impression, and ultimately I deemed it to

281
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 4: be problematic, and so I'm I'm just here Dan as

282
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 4: an exercise to tell you and to sell you on

283
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 4: the USC Trojans joining the Big Ten and not just winning,

284
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 4: but winning big, and not looking backwards and saying we're

285
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 4: going to harken back to the Pete Carroll era. It's

286
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 4: a new era, and that new era involves speed. It

287
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 4: involves slowly and thoughtfully building up this program on defense,

288
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 4: especially to hang not just with teams on the offensive

289
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 4: side of the ball when we have the ball, but

290
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 4: to ultimately evolve into a true Big Ten and ultimately

291
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 4: College football playoff contender. Because if there's one thing the

292
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 4: Big Ten desperately needs, it's quarterbacks. It's NFL caliber, It's

293
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 4: Heisman caliber quarterbacks. And if you look through the years,

294
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 4: especially the years in which Big Ten recruits have been

295
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 4: alive since Troy Smith, there haven't been a lot of

296
00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 4: Midwestern born blue chip quarterbacks heading to New York. And

297
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 4: if we know anything about Lincoln Riley, it's seas he

298
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 4: basically does nothing but develop high, high ceiling quarterbacks, bringing

299
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 4: something new, something fresh, something I'll say it kind of

300
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 4: foreign to the Big Ten, and they won't know how

301
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:23,959
Speaker 4: to handle it. USC recruiting classes, speed, geography, and let

302
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 4: me tell you something everybody's complaining about. Oh well, USC

303
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 4: and UCLA have to travel here and they gotta go

304
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 4: thousands of miles here, and you know all these plane

305
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 4: hours there. Guess what they all need to go to La.

306
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 4: They all have to figure out sleep. They all need

307
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 4: to figure out their mel Tucker's sleep bank. Who didn't

308
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 4: figure it out that well last year in Seattle? And

309
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 4: it's gonna throw things off going the other way as

310
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 4: well in the mighty Colisseum. So I am asking you

311
00:17:53,960 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 4: Sarks today to emotionally invest in usc NonStop quarter back play,

312
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 4: non stop speed, non stop transfers, and with the money

313
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 4: to pay assistant coaches and upgrade facilities like we've been doing.

314
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 4: Upgrade the scoreboard, not the physical one, the one that

315
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 4: reads trojans W opponents L.

316
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 2: Dan. How many tackles did you make in your last

317
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 2: two games last season? That would be a utah in

318
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 2: the PACTWEL Championship in Charlane in the Cotton Bowl how many?

319
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 2: How many? How many tackles did you miss? Is a

320
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 2: better question.

321
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 4: We're a forward looking program right now, Andy, and we

322
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 4: are looking forward to building out this defense by adding

323
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 4: guys like Bear Alexander and Mason Cobb. We keep adding

324
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 4: great defensive backs and a lot of people say, look,

325
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 4: you know you can't recruit defense on the West coast.

326
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 4: We're not a West past coast program. We are a

327
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 4: national program. We're going into I was going to ask

328
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 4: to Texas. We're going into Louisiana. We're going into the northeast.

329
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 4: We are finding talent, defensive talent where it is. And

330
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 4: if you're going to look at year one, if year

331
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 4: one we're winning double digit games, imagine what we're doing

332
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 4: in year four as a national program.

333
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 2: So you mentioned the spiel about Midwestern born quarterbacks. Are

334
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 2: we are we making Orange County part of the Midwest? Now?

335
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 4: No, And that's the big advantage is USC we have

336
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 4: the luxury of existing where great quarterbacks already are, and

337
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 4: Lincoln Riley's reputation precedes him. We've got a quarterback born

338
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 4: in the DMV in the Washington, DC area. He comes

339
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 4: out eventually to the West coast, and look Los Alamitos

340
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 4: and Malachi Nelson. We're stacking warm weather quarterbacks because if

341
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 4: there's one thing that I trust about a warm weather school,

342
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 4: it's that when you wake up in the morning, you

343
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 4: see sunshine. There's a reason why you don't find quarterbacks

344
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 4: in the Midwest. All due respect to Pennsylvania. What is

345
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 4: it the Keystone State tie. That's right, that's right. Wake

346
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 4: up and you want to go outside and get better.

347
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 4: Grace Sky's forty one degrees. Come on, I gotta be honest,

348
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 4: you know, I hate to knock you. This presentation has

349
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 4: shown a real lack of professionalism.

350
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: If I'm being honest, what are you presenting to us?

351
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: This whole thing sounds a little bit like Peter Griffin

352
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: and what grinds his gears.

353
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 4: What are you.

354
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 2: Presenting to us?

355
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm presenting USC do in twenty twenty four and twenty

356
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: twenty five that suddenly will be different from what it's

357
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: done every other year when there was hype.

358
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 2: And on top of it, you're in the news right now.

359
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: We have real questions on this panel about investing any

360
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: kind of serious emotional energy and investment into a program

361
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: that's got some real strife among management.

362
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 2: I need to see some tackle projections. Sure, I need

363
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: to see tackling projections for the next five years. They

364
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 2: need to be realistic and accurate. Tell me that. Tell

365
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 2: me you're going to begin to sign top one hundred

366
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 2: defensive linemen out of high school. Tell me that is

367
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: something you plan to do in the future. Because while

368
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 2: I am very impressed with the way you have recruited

369
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 2: defensive lineman out of the portal this year. Bar Alexander

370
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 2: was mentioned, Anthony Lucas coming over from Texas A and

371
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: these are people who have all of the physical traits

372
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 2: that you would want. But if you look at the

373
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 2: teams that win national titles, and that is what usc

374
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 2: aspires to do. I realize we're talking about competing in

375
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 2: the Big ten, but if you can compete for the

376
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 2: top of the Big ten, you're competing for national titles

377
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 2: as well. What can you tell me about what your

378
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 2: defensive line will look like in twenty twenty five, twenty

379
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 2: twenty six? Will it look like Georgia's? Will it look

380
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 2: like Ohio States? Will it look like some of the

381
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 2: guys Penn State has right now? Will it look like

382
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 2: some of the guys Michigan has right now? Because if

383
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 2: you can't give me that, I cannot give you my

384
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 2: emotional investment.

385
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 4: Well just call us the varsity because we're deep in

386
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 4: the Peach state right now. We are recruiting Georgia. You

387
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 4: can see the commitments to the twenty twenty four class.

388
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 4: We're in the lone Star state. We're in Louisiana linebackers,

389
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 4: edge rushers, defensive linemen. We are national recruiting defensive linemen

390
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 4: right now. We're projecting industry average right now, we're projecting

391
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 4: a jump to industry average in terms of tackling ability

392
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,479
Speaker 4: in year two. Year one. It's just it's learning the scheme.

393
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 4: It's generating turnovers, right if you're not gonna be able

394
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 4: to tackle, get that ball? And who did it better

395
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,239
Speaker 4: than USC? So you add in that element to an

396
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 4: upgraded defensive roster with Anthony Lucas bar Alexander Mason Cobb

397
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 4: more of the defensive back commitments that USC has right now.

398
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 4: Again year one, that's just a beta phase we're talking

399
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 4: about right now. We're looking forward and we're seeing the

400
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 4: defense building up. This is not an overnight thing. We're

401
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 4: not looking to be flashing the pan here at USC.

402
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 4: Thoughtful construction behind the scenes. And look, you look at

403
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 4: the offense. What did Lincoln Riley's offense do against Kirby

404
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 4: Smart's defense in the Rose Bowl? Not too shabby if

405
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 4: I remember correctly, in a playoff matchup, So you take

406
00:22:58,760 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 4: that ability.

407
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley's offense average two point seven yards of carry

408
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 2: against Utah in a game where once Kayleb Williams was hurt,

409
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 2: they couldn't move the ball. This is the other concern

410
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 2: for me. Sure they've got a Houdini magician at quarterback

411
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 2: right now. That guy's not going to the Big Ten

412
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 2: with them, No, he's not. So I realize Lincoln Riley

413
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 2: doesn't miss in quarterback recruiting, or at least has somebody

414
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: ready to go. Malachi Nelson maybe that next somebody. But

415
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 2: I also want to see a very productive, consistent run game. Sure,

416
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 2: these are things that because what happens if a quarterback

417
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 2: does get dinged up. We saw that, you know, Caleb

418
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 2: Williams should not be required to carry a team to

419
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 2: a national championship.

420
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 4: We're projecting Miller Moss to be the backup quarterback for

421
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 4: another seven to eight seasons at US.

422
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 2: I'd hear his and il deals are incredible. He would

423
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 2: never leave, He will never ever leave.

424
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 4: And we're also talking about a run game that featured

425
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 4: Oregon's backup running back and Stanford's backup running back. This

426
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 4: is early early going for USC that you're referencing. You

427
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 4: look at the five star talent coming in at running back.

428
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 4: These next couple of seasons. The what is Michael Jordan's line?

429
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 4: The ceiling is the roof?

430
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 2: Talk to us?

431
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 4: How you feel about you telling me.

432
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: About your background? Is this your full time job? How

433
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: did you get on this stage?

434
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 5: Well?

435
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 4: You know me, Sark. I am all USC all the time.

436
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 4: That's who I am. I'm from Los Angeles. I live

437
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 4: and breathe Los Angeles. I have a pulse on Los

438
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 4: Angeles sports and USC. When it is rockin', there is

439
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 4: nothing better, not the Dodgers, not the Lakers, not the Kings,

440
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 4: not LAFC. It is a USC town. The carne asada

441
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 4: is sizzling outside of United Field at the Coliseum twenty

442
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 4: four to seven, Fight on, go, Trojans.

443
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 2: I am ready to make you an offer, Dan, all

444
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 2: ready to make you an offer. I will emotionally invest

445
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 2: in your program if you can promise me an average

446
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 2: of one top one hundred defensive lineman out of high

447
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 2: school per year from twenty twenty four to twenty twenty eight.

448
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 4: Is there a counter from another?

449
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: Sark? I want to invest in you. I want to

450
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: get behind the project. I feel like you're authentic. You

451
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: obviously love southern California.

452
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: Andy.

453
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: Would you be willing to go in with me on

454
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: and offer we can split it both ways.

455
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 2: Okay, what are we offering here? What are the terms? Well,

456
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 2: you're all like the upside of this product. I really

457
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 2: like the upside. I just need a few things nailed down.

458
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think a royalty model feels like

459
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: it makes sense here. I would like I would like

460
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: some percentage every time USC gets.

461
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 2: To a Big ten championship game.

462
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: And it has to be a good percentage because it

463
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: has to be worth my time. But if we're talking

464
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: about USC as a contender, make it worth my emotional energy.

465
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 4: I'll give you a fully catered meal from Sonora Town

466
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 4: every single time USC makes the Big ten Championship game

467
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 4: meet of your choice.

468
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 2: I'm in, I'm in, I'm in.

469
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 5: Ben.

470
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 4: There we go, Sharks. Sarks, it's been a wonderful time

471
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 4: doing a deal with you. Let's go make some CABSA

472
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 4: and carne asada together.

473
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 5: Next up, the pioneering spirit of the Old West tackles

474
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 5: new opponents.

475
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: Hey, Sarks, my name is bred Vennables and I'm the

476
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: head coach at Oklahoma.

477
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 2: Uncanny sounds just like them, don't I.

478
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm here today seeking your emotional investment. In our

479
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: crimson and cream football machine, becoming an immediate playoff contender

480
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: as a new member of the SEC starting next year,

481
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: or should I say sooner than you might think?

482
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 2: Oh, get it readventables doesn't do puns.

483
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: Oklahoma is a legendary football program. Seven national titles, fifty

484
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: conference championships, seven Heisman Trophy winners. You might ask, with

485
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: all that success, why are we joining a new conference

486
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: at all? The answer is one that you already know.

487
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: Organizations go soft when they stagnate. We want to be

488
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: the best by beating the best, and we can find

489
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: that over in the SEC, and we will beat the

490
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: best because the SEC has never seen an offense like

491
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: Oklahoma's nor an aggressive attacking defense like.

492
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: The one we're in the process of building.

493
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: Our university is completely aligned behind this vision of being

494
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 1: an immediate contender. A few months ago, we approved an

495
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: additional one hundred and seventy five million dollars spend on

496
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: our football operations center. We know what it takes to

497
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: succeed at the highest levels. I know what it takes

498
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: to succeed at the highest levels, and we will do it,

499
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: and we will do it right away. So Sarks, who

500
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: wants to join me as part of this rise in

501
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: Storm and Norman, coach v I gotta ask you.

502
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 2: You said you mentioned the SEC has never seen an

503
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 2: offense like this, never, never before, nothing like did you

504
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 2: not hire your offensive coordinator from ole Miss? And ole

505
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 2: Miss continues to run the same offense and Tennessee also

506
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 2: runs the same offense.

507
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: With respect to Andy, I would love to do a

508
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: deal with you. I'm here to do a deal today

509
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: with respect. Neither one of those teams have the caliber

510
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: player that I feel we're going to have in Norman, Oklahoma.

511
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: It just it's molding with a different style of clay.

512
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 4: Are the engineers who design I'm the Texas matchup still

513
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 4: on your staff?

514
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 2: Are the people who got your backup quarterback ready to

515
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 2: play against Texas still on your staff?

516
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 4: Is that something that you can address or is that

517
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 4: an negotiate.

518
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: I'm going to have to go talk to our football

519
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: guys about thatad Turnip Seed.

520
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 2: Let me let me ask you, Coach Venables. I know

521
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 2: you you've You've already got some investors in this program

522
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 2: going way back. Joki Stiglione one of the early investors,

523
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 2: the athletic director there, Joseph raz the president of University.

524
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 2: Another early early investor been with the the university a

525
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 2: long time, Barry Switzer through some cash and he had

526
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 2: a good run with some liquor stores and through a

527
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 2: little cash in as well. Do you feel like you're

528
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 2: the person to lead Oklahoma into the SEC?

529
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 4: Have you run companies alone at the top?

530
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: I cared deeply about this program, as you know, I

531
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: cut my teeth as a defensive coordinator with this team

532
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: when I was here for over a decade before, and listen,

533
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: we know off of here in Kansas. I cared deeply

534
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: about this and it's very much my baby. I understand

535
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: the criticism. I feel like year one was one in

536
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: which we learned a lot about what it takes to

537
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: succeed at this national level as a head coach and

538
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: not just an assistant. And I feel like we've done

539
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: a lot to address that here in the off season.

540
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: Recruiting has remained strong, so it's not as though that

541
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: pool of talent has dried up. I feel like we've

542
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: got everything we need here. It's just a little bit

543
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: of a transition as we get ourselves in gear to

544
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: move ahead into the SEC next year.

545
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 2: Brent, we respect what you did at Paul Corp in

546
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 2: South Carolina, and I realized it was a tremendous job

547
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 2: as the cdo. But I need to see the deal

548
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 2: making capabilities game in, game out. That's what I haven't

549
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 2: seen yet. I have confidence in you as a recruiter.

550
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 2: I do. I understand because a lot of what you

551
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 2: did for CEO DABO was acquire talent, and you acquired

552
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 2: the kind of talent that could win national titles. You

553
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 2: knew you had to go against the powers of the

554
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 2: SEC when you did that. You were constantly consistently recruiting

555
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 2: against Alabama, against Georgia, against LSU. So I don't doubt

556
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 2: your ability to stock a roster, but I gotta be honest,

557
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 2: I have my concerns about you as a game day coach,

558
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna need to see in this final year

559
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 2: in the Big twelve that you can be that guy.

560
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 4: Now. You also your back ground is in security, and

561
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 4: I look at the way that your software was breached

562
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 4: last year over and over and over again by by.

563
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 2: Hacker Big twelve level. We're talking about football here, right.

564
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 4: And then I see what's your security breach going to

565
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 4: look like? What do you have software patches happening for

566
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 4: your defense for the SEC, because now we're about to

567
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 4: talk about LSU and Alabama and Tennessee and even Arkansas.

568
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 4: What are you doing? How are you fixing this this

569
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 4: weakness of yours?

570
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: Right now, we feel very positively about a great American

571
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: Ted Roof as our defensive coordinator. Last season was a

572
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: lot of trying to figure out how to get our

573
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: management philosophies in line.

574
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 4: But I'm sorry, we're talking about ted Roof of the

575
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 4: noted Chinese malware defenses of years gone by.

576
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: We've had a full off season to negociate and figure

577
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: out where we go next. This is a program that

578
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: is also prepared to invest. This athletic department did about

579
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy seven million in total revenue last year,

580
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: forty four million of which came from football. That number

581
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: will go up. We're going to see about a ten

582
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,959
Speaker 1: percent boost in revenue by joining the SEC. Some of

583
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: that money, a lot of that money will go back

584
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: into the program. As I said at the very top,

585
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: with some of our commitment to facilities and whatnot, I

586
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: think part of having that commitment on the administrative level

587
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: puts me in a position to feel very secure about

588
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,719
Speaker 1: the decisions that I need to make, and if we

589
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: find that after this season, before we go into the SEC,

590
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: something isn't working yet, we still have the talent in place,

591
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: whether that's moving on from ted Roof or going into

592
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: different direction on offense.

593
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 2: Though I don't think that's likely.

594
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: I feel like we're in a position, we are in

595
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: a stable enough position that we can make those types

596
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: of decisions at a moment's notice.

597
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot like the history of your wonderful state.

598
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 4: It's just a little bit too speculative for me. The

599
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 4: Oklahoma territories have that history. I just I'm not ready

600
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 4: to wildcat all this money into Oklahoma football. And you're

601
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 4: just too green and too new as a company, and

602
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 4: for that reason, I'm out.

603
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 2: I like some of the moves you've made. Brent. You've

604
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 2: got a really bright young sales guy named Jackson Arnold

605
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 2: that she'd recently hired, that everybody says is going to

606
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 2: be the next superstar. And here's my thing. I've always

607
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 2: invested in companies that have a strong foundation. I am

608
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 2: willing to invest emotionally in Oklahoma as an SEC contender

609
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 2: as long as you are willing to give me this

610
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 2: win me a Big twelve title this year, and I

611
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 2: will be all in on my investment in Oklahoma under

612
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 2: Brett Venables as an sec power Wow any counter offers, No,

613
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:12,439
Speaker 2: I'm out.

614
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: Are you sure I really want? Maybe you two can

615
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: get together and go in have the's on a deal.

616
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,640

625
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 4: Tara Jumara.

626
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 2: I think I'll take it.

627
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 4: You'll take it.

628
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 2: I think I'll take it.

629
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 4: You're getting off pretty cheap, way cheaper than whatever Jackson,

630
00:35:58,760 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 4: Arnold's and il is gonna look like.

631
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,479
Speaker 1: I had the full history of Oklahoma here and where

632
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: the name Sooner came from. I was going to give

633
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: you guys a history lesson if you want to.

634
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 2: Oh, I know it.

635
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 1: I read Boomtown about the uniqueness of the Oklahoma program

636
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: and how it's the only show in town within a

637
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty mile radius or something.

638
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 2: But thank you, you're not educating anyone in the SEC

639
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 2: on that. That's now described most of the SEC H

640
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 2: All right, final one.

641
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 5: Next up, America's off season champ taking its forty acre

642
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,240
Speaker 5: charm mainstream.

643
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 4: That's bright stars. That's right. We are talking about the

644
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 4: Texas Longhorns. We are talking about gamers. We are talking

645
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 4: about and not the gamers sitting at home. We're talking

646
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 4: about gamers that when the stage and the lights of

647
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 4: the brightest, the Longhorns come to play, whether it's against

648
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 4: USC in the early two thousand, early to mid two thousand,

649
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 4: whether it's against Georgia in the Sugar Bowl, whether it's

650
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 4: against Alabama last year, the class of their new conference.

651
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 4: When the lights are bright, Texas shows up and they're

652
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 4: doing so stacking top five classes. A head coach who

653
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 4: has We're not talking about a green head coach like

654
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 4: somebody like Brent Vento Bowles. We're talking about somebody who's

655
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 4: been at major places both as a coordinator. He's been

656
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 4: at dynastic places at Alabama and USC. He hired a

657
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 4: defensive coordinator, as the most handsome podcaster in college football

658
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 4: has noted, it's all about quarterback and defense, and Steve

659
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 4: Sarkisian has himself a college football playoff defensive coordinator in

660
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 4: Pete Kuitkowski. Texas is aligning magically to enter the SEC

661
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 4: and generate some fireworks on both sides of the ball.

662
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:58,240
Speaker 4: So who's with me? Sarks Texas football ten plus wins

663
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 4: this season? Nothing but times ahead.

664
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 2: I was doing some research for this presentation. Recently rewatched

665
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 2: the Texas Oklahoma State game from twenty twenty two, and

666
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 2: this is this is what I gotta ask.

667
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: You.

668
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 2: Mentioned when they played USC and the Rose Bowl, when

669
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 2: they played George and the Sugar Bowl, when they played

670
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 2: Alabama in Austin last year, But what about when they

671
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 2: played Texas Tech last year, when they played Oklahoma State

672
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 2: last year? How are you gonna beat the old missus,

673
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 2: the Mississippi State's, the Arkansas's, the Kentucky's. I want to

674
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 2: know if you can beat them first before I even

675
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 2: worry about you against Alabama and LSU and everybody else.

676
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 4: Well, we did have some buggy second half software last year.

677
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 4: There's no doubt about it. We had some issues in

678
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 4: the code that allowed a number of teams to come

679
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 4: back and games. But again this is early on in

680
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 4: the Sarksian tenure. We've gone back and we've patched up

681
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 4: a lot of things. We've improved receiving play.

682
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 2: I ask another question about the sarkis because you mentioned,

683
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 2: unlike Green Brent Venables, you have a long time track

684
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 2: record with your head coach. Correct me if I'm wrong.

685
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,399
Speaker 2: Is this track record not fairly mediocre? Be it at

686
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 2: Washington USC and Texas well.

687
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 4: He went to the obviously, he attended some postgraduate studies

688
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 4: at the University of Alabama, and so it's one of

689
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 4: those things where Texas really dug in deep with Steve

690
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 4: Sarkisian to understand what they were getting into. And we

691
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 4: feel pretty wonderful about the future of Texas football. And look,

692
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 4: we've always talked about it, and we know our history

693
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 4: of recruiting super well and putting together a roster that

694
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 4: should be able to compete for a Conference crown. But

695
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 4: Steve Sarkisian with Pete Quitkowski now who was not his

696
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 4: defensive coordinator at Washington, that was a different situation. He

697
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 4: has recruited I believe fourteen Blue Chipped defensive lineman in

698
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 4: his short time at Texas, and so he is doing

699
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 4: all of the right things. Obviously, they're very engaged. We're

700
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 4: very engaged in the portal. Sh Sarks and quarterback looks

701
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 4: to be in a wonderful place. We just got a

702
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,760
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five commitment. So it's lining up very nicely

703
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 4: for defense. Quarterback playmakers and the backfield playmakers at receiver

704
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 4: are two leading tackle for lost players are back on defense.

705
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 4: So the continuity seems to be there on defense for

706
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 4: an improving Texas team. And while Steve Sarkisian's history is

707
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 4: what it is, we believe in growth, we believe in

708
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 4: second chances. We believe in a narrative that ends with

709
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 4: Texas winning a ton of SEC games. And we're talking

710
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 4: about an SEC that features the University of Florida not

711
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 4: in a great place. We're talking about the University of Alabama,

712
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 4: who might be starting who at quarterback this season. We're

713
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 4: talking about an LSU team who has recruited how many

714
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 4: quarterbacks they've started out of high school? Not a single one.

715
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:02,240
Speaker 4: Right now, They're relying on West Coast quarterback play. Right now,

716
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 4: we're talking about an Arkansas team that took a step

717
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 4: back last season. We're talking about a Kentucky team who

718
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 4: took a significant step back last season. We're talking about

719
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 4: a Tennessee program that things look great until they magically

720
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 4: don't at the drop of a hat. So there is

721
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 4: always going to be volatility in the SEC. And that's

722
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 4: why the Texas Longhorns, with explosive play on both sides

723
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 4: of the ball, are ready to make a move.

724
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: I tell you, I like the pitch. The schedule in

725
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: the SEC in twenty twenty four doesn't scare me. I

726
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 1: think Texas is well positioned. Here's what I want to

727
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 1: know from you. Okay, how many other investors? How many

728
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: other investors have a hand in this program? Because in

729
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: the little research I've done on Texas before your presentation today,

730
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: which was wonderful, Thank you, now, it seems like there

731
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: are a lot of folks with their hand in this

732
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: cookie jar.

733
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, you're not wrong. We can throw money at

734
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 4: literally any problem. And that's one of the beautiful things

735
00:41:58,120 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 4: about doing that.

736
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 2: How that worked out for you in recent years.

737
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 4: You don't you don't meet success without failure, And who

738
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 4: fails more than the University of Texas. That's what I

739
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:12,280
Speaker 4: ask you today. You do failure is the most important

740
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 4: step towards success, and Texas has the most experience as

741
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 4: we've modernized things here on the forty acres.

742
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 2: What why do you appreciate how you how you've spun

743
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 2: that for use?

744
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: That was beautiful? That was that was spoken like a trooper?

745
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: Why is this different though?

746
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 2: Why?

747
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: Why is in all serious just here not trying to

748
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: act like an actual shark?

749
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 2: Sark? What? Why is this different for Texas?

750
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: Because I can look at the at the Texas roster

751
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,720
Speaker 1: right now and look at their schedule for this coming season,

752
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: I think we all probably feel pretty good about where

753
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: Texas stands, and I could project that roster forward or

754
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 1: with some of the new recruits that we think are

755
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: going to come to Austin, and we can sort of

756
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 1: make a similar projection, and I think feel good about it.

757
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,240
Speaker 1: But what we're ultimately talking about here is getting Texas

758
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: to a ten win plateau, getting Texas to a point

759
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: where they're quote unquote back, which I define as them

760
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: contending for something.

761
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 2: Why are either.

762
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: Of these next two seasons going to be different from

763
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: all the hubbub we've heard in previous years.

764
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 2: It wasn't all that long ago.

765
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 1: That Tom Hurra is like twenty eighteen, like five years ago, sure,

766
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: when Texas won ten games, or the year prior when

767
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: Tom Herman got there and he was going to be

768
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: the guy to lead them to the promise Charlie Strong.

769
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: Before him, it was Charlie Strong. Now it's Steve Sarkisian,

770
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: who I'll admit has been building. But I still have

771
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 1: a hard time kind of convincing myself that this is

772
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: for real, this.

773
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,839
Speaker 4: Time defense, defense, defense. You look at the trend last

774
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 4: year with the defense. You look at the recruiting on defense,

775
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 4: if you can get stops, I'm a believer in Steve Sarkisian.

776
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 4: On offense, I think he's going to be a little

777
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 4: bit more ruthless. You saw the beginning of the Alamobile

778
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 4: last year when he fully undressed and alimoble staffer for

779
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 4: touching him or something before the game started. So there's

780
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 4: a ruthlessness in business and on the field. To Steve

781
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 4: Sarkisian that no, it's what it is. It's also the

782
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 4: portal era, right, this is a portal era in which

783
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 4: why wouldn't you go to Austin if you're a star

784
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 4: elsewhere in the country to fill out that roster. So

785
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 4: it wasn't the portal era for Tom Herman, it wasn't

786
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 4: the portal era for Charlie Strong. I think Texas is

787
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 4: an obvious destination to play in the SEC and live

788
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 4: in Austin.

789
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 2: How about that. I'll tell you what I like looking

790
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 2: at your balance sheet. Okay, good young offensive lineman. Calvin

791
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 2: Banks obviously obviously the star of the bunch, But if

792
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 2: you can get some of that twenty twenty two class

793
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 2: beyond him, if any of them develop, I think you've

794
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 2: got a really good foundation going into the SEC. I

795
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 2: think you're feeling pretty good about that in year one

796
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 2: in the SEC. Calvin's still going to be there as

797
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 2: a junior in year one in the SEC. So I

798
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 2: that part I love. What I don't love is how

799
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 2: you tend to fall up heart in second halves and

800
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:03,359
Speaker 2: I don't know how how it feels almost baked into

801
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 2: the culture of the program at this point. And I

802
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 2: don't know how you.

803
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 4: Eradicate that bright lights, big city. We didn't fall apart

804
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:12,439
Speaker 4: against George and that sugar bowl.

805
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, but pressure over the long haul exposes your weaknesses.

806
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,399
Speaker 2: It doesn't make them any better. Yeah, that's the problem.

807
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 2: You didn't fall apart against Georgie and that Sugar Bowl.

808
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 2: But was Georgia playing for the national title?

809
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 4: They were not.

810
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,240
Speaker 2: But again, we're a program that cares about national titles,

811
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 2: not Sugar Bowls. So when do you become a program

812
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 2: that cares about national titles?

813
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 4: The freshest legs on the freshest trenches Texas football. Look

814
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 4: at the depth they're building on both sides of the ball.

815
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 2: I feel like this is a lot of flash and glitz,

816
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 2: sure without a lot of substance. I feel like that

817
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 2: that's what you're presenting to us.

818
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 4: Who's the offensive line coach? Kyle Flood? Kyle Flood, let

819
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 4: me tell you about somebody who has seen nearly no

820
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 4: flash during his time at Rutgers. All great from the

821
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 4: Jersey Turnpike and Kyle Flood. I like the presentation. The

822
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 4: schedule doesn't scare me. I'm excited about Texas. There are

823
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 4: too many hands in the cookie jar, and that scares me.

824
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 4: For those reasons, I'm out.

825
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 2: I like some of the pieces, but I can't get

826
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 2: behind the hole because they can never seem to put

827
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 2: the hole together. And this is the difference why I

828
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 2: was eager to invest in Oklahoma. Oklahoma maybe isn't as

829
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 2: glitzy sometimes but almost always puts a good product on

830
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 2: the on the field. Last year, maybe not as much,

831
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 2: but almost always does. Texas, it seems like you need

832
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:49,240
Speaker 2: a Mac Brown or a Daryl Royle to make that happen.

833
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 2: I don't know that Steve Sarkishan is that guy.

834
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 4: Well, look, investing is all about buying low emotionally, and

835
00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 4: who's lower right now than the Texas Longhorns. The return

836
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 4: promises great things. So I don't think I'm worried at

837
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,840
Speaker 4: all about you two passing because we have Arch Manning

838
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:12,760
Speaker 4: to do all the passing for us. But Malik Murphy,

839
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 4: Malik Murphy from the West Coast Sunshine, you're not the

840
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 4: USC guy anymore. Sorry, sorry, I got all the personalities.

841
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 1: All right.

842
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 2: So we're both out on Texas. Yeah, Yeah, we're out.

843
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 2: We're out. We're out. Nice presentation though, best of luck

844
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 2: to you.

845
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 4: Oh I don't need it.

846
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 2: They never say that. They never said I don't need it.

847
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 4: Okay, Uh, mister Blunderful, thank you very much for all

848
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,760
Speaker 4: of your time and your emotional investment, or lack thereof.

849
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 4: I don't think we could have done this without you,

850
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 4: right Ty.

851
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 1: No, thank you for dressing. Certainly they wouldn't have.

852
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 2: And that's what that's why I want the Royalty of

853
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 2: Darryl Kaye one. That's right, Daryl K Royalty Memorial Stadium.

854
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 4: Uh huh.

855
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:03,240
Speaker 2: I want one fifth of the cost of each listen

856
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 2: So what your listeners hey to listen to this show?

857
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 2: I want one fifth of that for every listener. Oh

858
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 2: my god, all right to the range that yeah, thank you.

859
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 2: I think we owe you a like half a pair

860
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 2: of Bamba socks. I think that's what it's gonna come

861
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 2: down to, and we can we can swing that. Andy Staples,

862
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 2: thank you so much for your time and my pleasure.

863
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 2: There you go, Dad, you played the music that was fun.

864
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 4: First of all, or last of all. I assume because

865
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 4: you are somebody who just randomly comes across popular culture,

866
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,919
Speaker 4: you've seen every episode, many episodes of Shark Tank.

867
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: As I said to you earlier today, I've probably seen

868
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 1: most of them. Yeah yeah, and not not because I'm

869
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: like some sort of like budding entrepreneur or anything like that.

870
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 2: I just really enjoy the show.

871
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 4: Do you own any Shark Tank products or products that

872
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 4: have been pitched bombas was were they.

873
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 1: Was a Shark Tank show. Yeah, a shark Tank product.

874
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: So we were proud sponsor of the solid verbal. We're

875
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: proud to wear the bomb as saw.

876
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 2: I love I love it.

877
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, a sponsor and can continue to be.

878
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 1: I feel like there have been a couple products that

879
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: we've had on here that have been Shark Tank products,

880
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: and yeah, I have dabbled here and there, not the

881
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: least of which is my comfortable socks, which I have

882
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: on right now.

883
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,280
Speaker 4: I own, I think the most successful shark tank product

884
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:28,720
Speaker 4: of all time, and I was probably influenced by that fact.

885
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 4: At least I looked it up to see if I

886
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 4: need a scrubber. Yes, I'm not gonna. Should we shout

887
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 4: out the name? I don't, I don't. It is that

888
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 4: like it's a like a dish sponge scrubber. That is,

889
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 4: it's not as soft as a sponge, but it's not

890
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 4: as hard as steel wool. It sort of approximates the difference,

891
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 4: and it's incredible. It really is great. So you can

892
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:52,399
Speaker 4: look that up. But they're not a sponsor, but again

893
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 4: they could be. Yeah, shark Tank is great. I've heard

894
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:58,840
Speaker 4: a lot of things about the show behind the scenes,

895
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 4: Like the pitches that you act actually see are like

896
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 4: an eighth of the time it takes.

897
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: They're like two hours long and they chop it down

898
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: into eight minutes.

899
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 4: And even if somebody makes a deal, there's still a

900
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,359
Speaker 4: lot of due diligence, like actually digging into the financials

901
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 4: of these companies. But I always enjoy when there's a

902
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 4: company and obviously these the people pitching these things are

903
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 4: chosen not just because they think they're viable products of

904
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 4: some kind or services, but also because they're engaging people,

905
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 4: right and you want to root for somebody because you

906
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 4: know their backstory. They've been working on this for XYZ

907
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:36,319
Speaker 4: and they've poured ABC into the product, and so that

908
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 4: has a lot to do with it. And sometimes they

909
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 4: get up there and they're like, so what's the product, Like, well,

910
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 4: I haven't started making it yet. You're like, okay, what

911
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 4: will it be. I've also heard from a couple of

912
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 4: people independently that producers of Shark Tank have reached out

913
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 4: to them. It's not just people applying to be on

914
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 4: the show to try and raise money or raise awareness

915
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 4: whatever that it's just Shark Tank sees people starting things

916
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 4: and says, would you like to come on the show.

917
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 4: One of it's a friend of mine that is like

918
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 4: a co owner of a bar that became popular and

919
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 4: got a lot of attention to reach out because they

920
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 4: have a very specific concept. It's it's a non alcoholic

921
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 4: bar that Shark Tank reached out to this co owner

922
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 4: and said, would you be interested in coming on and

923
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 4: pitching this for like expansion. So I had no idea

924
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 4: that that's that was part of the gig of Shark Tank,

925
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 4: that they're just finding people that they need to that

926
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 4: they want to come on.

927
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 1: Well, look very very much in the same vein as

928
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: today's right, because I think we're I think we're talking

929
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: a lot about unfinished products at this point. That's true,

930
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,280
Speaker 1: products that are in the process of being built before

931
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: our very eyes, going into new conferences and m hm.

932
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 1: Who knows what's going to happen when the rubber meets

933
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: the road. We frankly don't know. I struggled with the

934
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: question about trying to project things forward. I don't know,

935
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 1: and I thought a lot about it before in UCLA,

936
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: with UCLA, even with Oklahoma. Yeah, the whole aspect of

937
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 1: trying to project forward, how a team will or won't

938
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 1: do in a new conference is really hard. I I

939
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 1: struggle a little bit to think that it's going to

940
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 1: be much different than it's been.

941
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 2: Of course, it's a new slate of opponents.

942
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 4: Can I get your actual tech thoughts then? On UCLA

943
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 4: and Oklahoma? So instead of just like positively optimistic pitching, Yeah, like,

944
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 4: what is the actual upside of UCLA as you see

945
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:20,280
Speaker 4: it today? And what was the actual upside of Oklahoma

946
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 4: as you see it today?

947
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 5: Well?

948
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:24,880
Speaker 1: I do think on the UCLA side, the offense is

949
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:29,839
Speaker 1: a huge upside, and I think Chip has been able

950
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 1: to maintain offense now that he's got players in place.

951
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: You know, one of the conversations we had when we

952
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 1: talked about USC and UCLA coming into the conference to

953
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: begin with, was who's going to change first? Is it

954
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 1: going to have to be those two teams from the

955
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 1: West Coast changing their style to meet the Big Ten

956
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 1: right where it's at, or is it going to be

957
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: vice versa? And I think Ucla, with the offense that

958
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: Chip runs, could be in a position to maybe drive

959
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: that conversation and maybe hopefully take some offenses in the

960
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: Big Ten for into the future a little bit. So

961
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 1: I think from that standpoint, the future.

962
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,360
Speaker 2: Is bright for UCLA. The defense is an open question.

963
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:10,840
Speaker 1: You know, if U Sila goes up against Michigan, if

964
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:12,319
Speaker 1: you Silly goes up against a team that likes to

965
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 1: run the ball, like let's just say wisconstinant of yesteryear,

966
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna get killed because they've not had any success

967
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:24,240
Speaker 1: stopping that in recent memory. So that I think poses

968
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:27,840
Speaker 1: a real challenge for them trying to be defensive against

969
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 1: the style of football that has been pretty pervasive and

970
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 1: successful throughout the Big Ten.

971
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:33,360
Speaker 2: That gives me some hesitation.

972
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 1: On the Oklahoma side of things, I think Oklahoma has

973
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 1: equipped really well. I mean, the recruiting has remained strong

974
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 1: in Norman, despite the fact that last season was a

975
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,400
Speaker 1: little bit of a bumpy go for Brent Venables. I

976
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 1: share andy skepticism I always have about what he can

977
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,399
Speaker 1: do as the headman. Now, the question in year two

978
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 1: is he is he going to pull a Dave Randa

979
00:53:56,640 --> 00:54:00,320
Speaker 1: like a Rando in year two where he took a good,

980
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: honest to goodness look at what went wrong in year

981
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:04,400
Speaker 1: one and was able to correct a bunch of things

982
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:07,839
Speaker 1: and obviously move things, you know, quantumly forward.

983
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 2: In year two. I think he's a smart enough.

984
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 1: Guy to do that, but I am hesitant to really

985
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 1: sign myself up for that projection.

986
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 4: Well, I think also Oklahoma's road starting next year is

987
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 4: gonna be a lot harder than David Randas was in years.

988
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: It's gonna be twelve. It's going to be a lot harder,

989
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 1: and I think that's a given. But you know, like

990
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,840
Speaker 1: I think talent trump's all in college football, and the

991
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 1: talent has remained at a top what ten level for

992
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: Oklahoma at least getting like one full recruiting cycle for

993
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 1: brand venables. So you know, of course you swap out

994
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,840
Speaker 1: Texas Tech for the likes of Alabama or Tennessee or

995
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: LSU or you know, even Missouri, like it's it will

996
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 1: get tougher. But provided they can establish a defense to

997
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,359
Speaker 1: some marginal degree better than what we saw last season,

998
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 1: I'll feel better about them going into the SEC.

999
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 2: But that being said, there's a reason why if.

1000
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 1: You read what like Oklahoma fans sit online about the

1001
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 1: schedule reveal that we saw a week ago, you I

1002
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 1: think put a pretty fine point on it on one

1003
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 1: of our last few podcasts, like is this really what

1004
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 1: we want?

1005
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 2: Are we sure? We want this because it's gonna get

1006
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:17,280
Speaker 2: a lot tougher.

1007
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,800
Speaker 1: So if the defense can get moving in a good direction,

1008
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: I don't think the offense is going to have a

1009
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,399
Speaker 1: ton of trouble. Might be a bit of a learning curve,

1010
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 1: but they'll be fine. It is a defensive question for

1011
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 1: me with Oklahoma, and frankly, what did bred mannibles learn

1012
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:30,399
Speaker 1: in your one?

1013
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1014
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 4: No, I think Oklahoma's equipped to go to the College

1015
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 4: Football Playoff in the SEC, but I don't know how

1016
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 4: often I think what Oklahoma fans are used to atop

1017
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 4: the Big twelve is not going to be anywhere near

1018
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:47,839
Speaker 4: a reality in the SEC. And that's look, if Nick

1019
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 4: Saban retires in a year, I still think that's true. Right,

1020
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 4: If Brian Kellery retires in three years, I still think

1021
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 4: that's true because those are just places that are as equipped.

1022
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 4: And I think everybody's just going to sort of eat

1023
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,040
Speaker 4: each other in the SEC, and they're going to go

1024
00:55:59,920 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 4: to nine games at sooner rather than later, even if

1025
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 4: it's not obviously this season or next season. So I

1026
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:09,320
Speaker 4: just Oklahoma's going to be fine. They're going to recruit

1027
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 4: at a high level. But I don't know, I don't

1028
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:15,839
Speaker 4: I don't think Brett Vennables in Oklahoma right now are

1029
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:18,919
Speaker 4: a team worth believing in to win on the level

1030
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 4: that they won in the Big Twelve. And I don't know,

1031
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 4: I think that they're gonna have to nail quarterback, which

1032
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 4: they still haven't yet. Obviously early on a year in

1033
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,319
Speaker 4: no UCLA is interesting to me just because what I

1034
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 4: think the ongoing narrative is, Like I don't think West

1035
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 4: Coast teams are as flashy offensively as the reputation is.

1036
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 4: And I don't think Big Ten offenses are as boring.

1037
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 4: Like everybody's not Iowa, right, like Penn State and Ohio

1038
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 4: State to a lesser extent, you know, Minnesota a couple

1039
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 4: of years ago. Like we've seen some really fun, explosive

1040
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 4: offenses in the Big Ten. I'm sure I'm leaving people out.

1041
00:56:56,640 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 4: Everybody's not you know, late stage Mark to Antonio, Michigan

1042
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 4: State or recent Iowa, Like there are some really down teams.

1043
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:05,719
Speaker 4: Who knows what Wisconsin is going to look like with

1044
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 4: Phil Longo on offense, I assume they're going to be

1045
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:11,399
Speaker 4: a little bit more exciting. So I just I think

1046
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 4: the truth lies somewhere in the middle. That you know,

1047
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 4: UCLA has the ability as a program like we saw it.

1048
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 4: I mean it's been almost like a decade when they

1049
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 4: had those incredible linebackers, NFL caliber linebackers. They can build

1050
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 4: a really good defense in Westwood. And I don't know

1051
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 4: if it's an academic thing. Chip Kelly is just not

1052
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 4: going to play that high school recruiting game like you

1053
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 4: probably need to if you want to win on a

1054
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 4: pretty big level. So I think they kind of cap

1055
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 4: themselves if you're going to rely on like transfers from

1056
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 4: the MAC and like Conference USA to fill out a roster.

1057
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 4: But I think they can, Like can UCLA beat Michigan

1058
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 4: or Penn State in a random year with a really

1059
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 4: good quarterback? Definitely?

1060
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, Yeah.

1061
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 1: I don't feel like they are overmatched going into the

1062
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 1: Big Ten. It's more of a stylistic question.

1063
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 4: It's star power to me with UCLA, I just don't

1064
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 4: think they have the pop to win nine games season,

1065
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 4: but they can be super, super dangerous. They also Big

1066
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 4: Ten teams are used to playing in full stadiums. You

1067
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 4: go out West and playing a third of US an

1068
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 4: empty stadium. That's tough. That's different.

1069
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: That's an ephis the question I was going to ask

1070
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 1: you that I that I didn't get to because we

1071
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 1: moved pretty quick through those was the commitment. Because when

1072
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: you watch Shark Tank, right, it's I think I kind

1073
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:23,920
Speaker 1: of alluded to this when you were doing your USC gig.

1074
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: But they're always big on the owners, the founders that

1075
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 1: are really putting their blood, swim tears into this thing,

1076
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 1: fully committed, and I think that's an open question for

1077
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 1: the programs out west, maybe not so much from the administration.

1078
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 1: You know, what I think we've come to learn is

1079
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 1: that on the UCLA side, they didn't necessarily want to

1080
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 1: do it, but they kind of had to do it financially.

1081
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 1: This bailed them out from having to cut sports. They

1082
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 1: were again one hundred million plus in debt. On the

1083
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: us C side, you know, probably a different calculation. But

1084
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 1: we've talked in nauseum on the show about fan bases

1085
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 1: and how the bases are different. You just mentioned it

1086
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: with stadiums that are half half full. Will joining the

1087
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 1: Big Ten I can't imagine the answer to this is yes,

1088
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 1: by the way, But will the Big Ten the promise

1089
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 1: of playing some new opponents gin up any kind of

1090
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 1: fan support that we haven't seen while we're in the

1091
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 1: Pac twelve. I think the answers no, but correct me

1092
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong.

1093
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 4: Look, I think people will show up at the rose

1094
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 4: Bol if UCLA is winning eleven games every year. I

1095
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 4: really do. But it's just it's a tougher sell. It's,

1096
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 4: first of all, it's a basketball school. Second of all,

1097
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 4: like you look at recruiting, and recruiting is not everything,

1098
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 4: but you really do your recruiting battles. If UCLA is

1099
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:40,479
Speaker 4: recruiting a defensive tackle or a quarterback or a wide

1100
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 4: receiver and it comes down to Ucla and Blank, well

1101
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 4: that Blank school is kind of the level that UCLA

1102
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 4: is going to be at.

1103
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 2: There.

1104
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 4: If there's a kid, if there's a five star linebacker

1105
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 4: who's like, man, I'm between UCLA and Ohio State and

1106
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 4: I keep going back, that doesn't kind of happen with Ucla. No,

1107
00:59:56,520 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 4: Like it's Ucla, Arizona State, UCLA cal Ucla State. Like

1108
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 4: it's a lot of that under Chip Kelly, which tells

1109
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 4: me that, like, yeah, they're into quality players and they'll

1110
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 4: win a quality number of games, but you know it's capped.

1111
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 4: It's capped because they're not building the kind of depth

1112
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 4: on that roster of quality players that screams, we want

1113
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 4: to beat Penn State every year. And that's where I

1114
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:24,919
Speaker 4: think they're at right now. And I think in terms

1115
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 4: of the schools I sold, I probably had to stretch

1116
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 4: more for Texas just because of the sark offensive struggles

1117
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 4: last year. USC and defense. Again, I'm not terribly concerned

1118
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:40,960
Speaker 4: because like Iowa has to score with USC. You know,

1119
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:42,640
Speaker 4: Penn State has to score with you. At all of

1120
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 4: these schools that are like have flaws in their own way,

1121
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 4: they still need to score thirty five points to beat USC.

1122
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 4: And so I could still see one or two losses

1123
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 4: still happening for USC because of like a not deep defense.

1124
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:58,440
Speaker 4: But it seems that especially in this cycle, Lincoln Riley

1125
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 4: is taking high school defense recruiting a little bit not

1126
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 4: more seriously, but you know he's widening the net and

1127
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 4: that's what's needed. They'll they'll do well in the portal.

1128
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 4: And I don't know, like, do you have faith in

1129
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 4: Illinois and Minnesota? Like, who are these teams that are

1130
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 4: going to score forty against USC? That's the like Utah

1131
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 4: and you talk a great program. Utah would win a

1132
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 4: ton of games in the Big Ten. So I'm not

1133
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 4: crazy concerned about USC. I'm more upset about USC and

1134
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 4: what they did with Fox to destroy West Coast football.

1135
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 4: But no, I think they'll win a bunch of games

1136
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 4: in the Big ten.

1137
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 1: Right in So for about gmail dot com or anywhere

1138
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 1: across social media, as we post the link to this episode,

1139
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 1: let us know what we got right, what we got wrong,

1140
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 1: how you would have pitched differently, and maybe, if, maybe,

1141
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 1: if the feedback isn't too harsh, who we should pitch

1142
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 1: the next time we.

1143
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 2: Do a show like this.

1144
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 1: We don't want to build the whole plane out of

1145
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:57,720
Speaker 1: the Shark Tank theme, but I think it's got some

1146
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 1: of the June. I think it's got sub potential for

1147
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 1: a part two at some point in the future.

1148
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 2: I agree, Dan, this is fun. You did well. I'm

1149
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 2: proud of you.

1150
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 4: We'll do sec only next time we'll call it Mark Tank.

1151
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 4: We'll have a picture of Mark Stoops on our YouTube

1152
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 4: graphic and we'll just keep with the rhyming theme.

1153
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1154
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:20,840
