1
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 1: And welcome in lake. It is live.

2
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: It is Sunday night, July eighteenth, Year of Our Lord,

3
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one.

4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: Been ready to get back in the studio.

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 2: Been back in Columbus for a couple of personal reasons

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 2: over the last week.

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: A lot of mileage put on the jeep. Happy to

8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: be here.

9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: We are live as live can be and jam packed

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: as jam pat can be. I was just talking to

11
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: director Colin right before we came in here. You know,

12
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 2: we have not taken any off weeks. We've not taken vacations,

13
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 2: almost as dirty ord as off season on the show,

14
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: so we have not really taken any But you know,

15
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: in all that time, we have not put forth a

16
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: single ranking, a single prediction, a single list, none of that.

17
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: That's about to change really quickly over the next month.

18
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: So by a month from now, we'll be right into

19
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: the heart of fall camps. We will go to three

20
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: live shows per week. That's coming towards the end of July,

21
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: so in like a couple of weeks we'll be going

22
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 2: back to three shows per week format. The paid State

23
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: mascot will be unveiled within the next month. A lot

24
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 2: of you have been asking, yes, we will unveil that

25
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 2: grand season previews will be coming everything you could ever

26
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 2: need to know, in quite frankly, a lot of stuff

27
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: you don't even want to know about all the major

28
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: teams out there, and then some will be coming your way,

29
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: will have best, worst, most likely record scenarios. The Rama

30
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 2: Noodle Express is about to crank back up. We'll have

31
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: our whispers and intel features that we get from various

32
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 2: staffs and insiders all across the country, plus some more

33
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: things that I'm not even legally allowed to tell you

34
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: just yet, but you'll see, trust me, you'll see. As

35
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: for the show tonight, though, so that's in the future.

36
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 2: As for the show tonight, an innocent tweet goes out

37
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: this morning around eleven o'clock and I just wanted to

38
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: know what would shock you this year, what would really

39
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: turn the sport on its ear if it were to

40
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: happen in the year of Our Lord twenty twenty one,

41
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: And it took off so much I had to lead

42
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: the show with it.

43
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: We'll do that in just a second.

44
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: Also, there's a really good feature over on the Athletic

45
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: that is not only echoing a lot of the sentiment

46
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: that's been expressed on this show about recruiting in the

47
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: state of Florida, but it took it ten steps further.

48
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: They got like eight or ten anonymous high.

49
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 2: School coaches down there in Florida and a couple of

50
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: scouting types, all of whom have been in the game

51
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: for at least a decade, if not more, to just

52
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: talk about Florida State, Miami, Florida, and a lot of

53
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 2: the outside forces like Clemson in Ohio State and Alabama

54
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: that have raided the state of talent. I got some

55
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: wild stats, I've got some direct quotes, and I've got

56
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: some thoughts about that, because that's the biggest key in

57
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: college football right now.

58
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: Is the biggest story in college football.

59
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 2: It's not the playoff, it's not the nil situation. It

60
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: is the talent drained from Florida and, to somewhat of

61
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: a lesser degree, the state of Texas and California.

62
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do all that. We had a commitment wave.

63
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: We just had a big one pop about an hour

64
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 2: and a half ago, So we're gonna touch on all that.

65
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: It's been a busy weekend.

66
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: Plus I'm gonna give you some thoughts about the future

67
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 2: of Clemson football. As I told you we're jam packed.

68
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 2: It sounds like I just previewed a three hour show,

69
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 2: but I promise you we'll get this in in less

70
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: than an hour. Media days are this week, and your

71
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: boy may have just wiggled himself off the hook for

72
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: going to Hoover, Alabama. So if not, and dot dot

73
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: dot on that one. But if I'm not down there,

74
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: stay tuned to the Twitter and Instagram channels. At Late Kickjosh,

75
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: there will be several little trinkets, little nuggets or tidbits

76
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: of information you're gonna want there that will only be there.

77
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: Follow me at Late Kick Josh, and I wanted.

78
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: To, but as we dive in tonight, I wanted to

79
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 2: give you guys a little heads up. I know you

80
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: go to the grocery store or you go to the

81
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: gas station and you pick up your college football preview magazines.

82
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: I'm all for it.

83
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: I love preview magazine season as much as the next guy.

84
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: But some of you have been asking me which ones

85
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 2: are my favorite. Well, I buy all of them, but

86
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: I wanted to give some shoutouts. This won't be the

87
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: last one, but I wanted to give some shout outs.

88
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: Our buddy Brett over at Pick six previews. They released

89
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: their full season preview. You can find them on Twitter

90
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: at Pick six Previews. I think it's a really good product.

91
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: They're not paying me. Bread's not paying me to endorse this.

92
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: I pay my hard earned money, just like you do

93
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: to download it. I would encourage you, though, if you're

94
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: into the deeper, more analytics, dive some unique angles, a

95
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: little bit more meat on the bone for each and

96
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: then maybe you get in your typical preview magazine.

97
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: I would encourage you to check that out.

98
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: I'm all for people taking advantage of the digital landscape

99
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: and releasing digital copies of what you would classically define

100
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 2: as a preview magazine. So go check that out again.

101
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 2: Not a paid endorsement, I think my contract says.

102
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: I have to say that.

103
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 2: All right, let's dive into the show tonight, because my goodness,

104
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: look at all this. I think I went through a

105
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: pen and a half worth of ink just writing the

106
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: stuff down.

107
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: So this morning, I'm on Twitter. It was eleven nine am, and.

108
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 2: I tweet out a question, as I sometimes do in

109
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: sort of one of those autopilot moments, just kind of

110
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: like to have a free flowing conversation with you, and

111
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 2: I said, and I quote, when blank happens, it'll turn

112
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: college football upside down in twenty twenty one. I just

113
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: asked you to fill in the blank. The only guideline

114
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 2: I gave you was it has to be somewhat realistic.

115
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 2: Well we got some, to varying degrees of realism. We

116
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: got some, and I wanted to go down the list

117
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 2: because you guys this such great job. I figured let's

118
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 2: just go ahead and lead the show with this. Again,

119
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: these are artificial predictions, although they all could happen. The

120
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: first one, and I think maybe one of the more

121
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: popular ones was Ohio State being upset early in the season.

122
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: So let me kick you this scenario. It's Week two, right.

123
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: And Oregon's play in Ohio State. Well, that's not what

124
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about. I think everyone's attention is

125
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: on week two. But a lot of you said, excuse me,

126
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 2: this is not NFL, it's not a preseason game. When

127
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 2: Ohio State goes up to Minnesota on that Thursday night

128
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: in week one, like they're actually going to count that

129
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 2: in the Big Ten standings. Hey, what if Minnesota just

130
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: outright beats the Buckeyes Thursday night in Week one? What

131
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: if it were to happen. And before you tell me, well,

132
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: I would just be gobsmatched. On what planet could that happen?

133
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: The spreads thirteen and a half, So it's not completely

134
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 2: out of the realm of possibility. Our buddy AFP, among

135
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 2: several others of you submitted this as a potential scenario.

136
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: Now here's the way it probably happens, or the reason

137
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 2: it probably happens, or reasons. AFP kind of submitted it,

138
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: and I just went along with it. It would happen

139
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 2: a lot to do with probably an under evaluation of

140
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 2: Minnesota's roster because they returned pretty much everyone and they

141
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 2: got gutted by COVID last year. So you have a

142
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: lot of experience returning combined with an undervalued roster because

143
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: a lot of it didn't get to see meaningful playing

144
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 2: time last year. You also, on the Ohio state side

145
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: of things, have in all likelihood CJ. Stroud making not

146
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 2: only his first start, but it's a road start. I've

147
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: already told you how I feel about the enhanced value

148
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,559
Speaker 2: of home field advantage, especially first half of the college

149
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: football season this fall, and you may even have the

150
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 2: look ahead angle here. How many times I think famously

151
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: last year Iowa State Fitness description. How many times have

152
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: we seen high expectation and you see a week one

153
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 2: game that you've already sort of looked past, but.

154
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: It's not at thirteen fourteen, fourteen and a half point spread.

155
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: So the odds makers are telling you don't look past this,

156
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: and you look past it, and all of a sudden,

157
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 2: your buddy's texting you, Hey, are you watching this Ohio

158
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: State Minnesota game?

159
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,799
Speaker 1: No, I'm out to eat. I'm at Chili's. One buddies,

160
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: what's happening? And then they what are you doing at Chili's?

161
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: And then secondly they say you need to turn this

162
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 2: on or maybe if it's a reputable chili as, they

163
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 2: should have it on. Because Minnesota is leading thirty three

164
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: to thirty. It's a wild shootout. Who saw this coming?

165
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: Well, AFP at.

166
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: The very least, along with many more of you in

167
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 2: my mentions, say that you may see it coming.

168
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: So there's that, and I want to bookmark that.

169
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: Because I'm not done talking about this whole concept of

170
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: major top five upsets early in the year. Here's another

171
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: one that I think a vast majority of you mentioned.

172
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: If you were giving me lists, I got a lot

173
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: of Miami over Alabama in week one, so that one

174
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 2: was really popular, But combined with that, wanted to go

175
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: to another team in the state of Florida because a

176
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 2: lot of you also said, look at week three, look

177
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: at all these big early season tests for the big boys.

178
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: What about Alabama going to the swamp week three? What

179
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: if Florida takes down Alabama? Now this is going to

180
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 2: be our first real taste of Florida. See we get

181
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: to see Bama against Miami in the season opener. You're

182
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: seeing Alabama schedule right now, and you know, let's not

183
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: overlook the Mercer Bears in week two.

184
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: Far be it for us to do that.

185
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: But with Florida, I think they play Florida Atlantic, they

186
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 2: play USF.

187
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: I looked at our odds making model.

188
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,239
Speaker 2: We would favor them by about four touchdowns or more

189
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: in both of their first two games. So Dan Mullin

190
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: doesn't really have to open it up, you would think.

191
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: And so week three, not only does Florida get that

192
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: supreme benefit of an early season raucous home environment at

193
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 2: the Swamp, Alabama comes in there with a new quarterback

194
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: of their own and Bryce Young. Now you think Alabama

195
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 2: in the past has just been borderline invincible. They've been

196
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: immune to a lot of these college football factors that

197
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 2: would impact lesser programs or mortal programs. Maybe, but we

198
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: don't know, we don't know what Alabama's going to be yet,

199
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 2: and so there's that. But then within the context of

200
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: this potential Ohio State loss and a potential Alabama loss,

201
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 2: a lot of you took the added liberty of just saying,

202
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: all right, well, let's just say if both of those

203
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 2: are going to happen. Let's just go ahead and say

204
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 2: Georgia beats Clemson in Week one two. Well, if that

205
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 2: were to happen, friends, we would have a Week four

206
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 2: starting with Bamma, Clemson, and Ohio State all with a

207
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: loss on the resume. Now, if any combination of that

208
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: happens in and of itself, it's newsworthy. But if we

209
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 2: were to not even make it through the first quarter

210
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 2: of the season before the buck guys tied and Tigers

211
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 2: all had losses, how's that for your precious parody, How's

212
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: that for balancing your sport out? We didn't even have

213
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: to expand the playoff to get all that. That would

214
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 2: be obviously a huge newsmaker in the World of college football.

215
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: But we weren't done. You guys were just getting warmed up.

216
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 2: So then we move on, and then someone mentioned Florida

217
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 2: State and someone mentioned Mackenzie Milton. We talked about this

218
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 2: a lot, about a month ago, we did a couple

219
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: of shows on it. What if Mackenzie Milton is not

220
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: only all the way healed, I mean, what if he's healed?

221
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 2: And then some what if he is not only what

222
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: he once was, but he's performing equal to or maybe

223
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: even better than the level you saw Now a lot

224
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 2: of you would say that's unlikely to very unlikely, but

225
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 2: not impossible. As long as it's not impossible, it has

226
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: a home in this particular segment. If that were to happen,

227
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 2: then a lot of you kicked the following scenario. Mackenzie

228
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 2: Milton is far above and beyond expectation level and as

229
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: a result, Florida State shots Notre Dame in Week one.

230
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 2: It's the total inverse of what happened last year when

231
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech upset Notre Dame or upset Florida State in

232
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 2: Week one at dope. And so here's what happens in

233
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 2: all likelihood if Florida State is good enough to beat

234
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, then they're probably also good enough to be

235
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 2: six and oh on October ninth when they go to

236
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 2: North Carolina, at which point our buddies over at college

237
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 2: football Nerds chime in and say, well, if they're going

238
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 2: that far, why don't we just have them go into

239
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,239
Speaker 2: Chapel Hill and beat North Carolina?

240
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: At which point, not only do we have to totally.

241
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 2: Reassess the ACC and reassess what Florida State is, but

242
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 2: we may be looking in the mirror and saying, did

243
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 2: we overvalue North Carolina whereas North Carolina At that point

244
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 2: that would be a huge shakeup in the ACC. I

245
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: haven't talked about the Big twelve yet. Well that's about

246
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 2: to change in three to one. What about Iowa State?

247
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: My Cyclonese. I'm at the gym in Columbus, Georgia the

248
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 2: other night. I had to go home, and I'm with

249
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 2: a buddy and there's one other gentleman in the gym.

250
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 2: It's just us three. It's like nine thirty at night.

251
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: Keep in mind the pinpoint on the map is Columbus, Georgia.

252
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 2: We get through with our workout, my guys walking out,

253
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 2: He turns back around, comes up to me and proceeds

254
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: to thank me for all the Iowa State coverage. Says

255
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 2: he grew up in Cedar Rapids, lifelong Iowa State fan

256
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 2: stationed at Fort Benning, that's why he's down in Columbus.

257
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 2: And we had a nice five or ten minute chat

258
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 2: about the inner workings of Iowa State athletics. It was

259
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 2: one of the top ten moments of my life. I

260
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: don't think I'm over state in that column. Top ten

261
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 2: life moment for me right there talking Iowa State football

262
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 2: at nine thirty at night at a gym in Columbus, Georgia.

263
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: With that in mind, what if Iowa State wins the

264
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: Big Twelve this year? I think you'd have varying degrees

265
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: of surprise. I can't label this as shocker. I mean,

266
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 2: it's one of the top ten teams in the country

267
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 2: coming into this season in any given poll you look at,

268
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 2: so it wouldn't be the biggest shock in the world.

269
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 2: They return the entire team virtually from one that played

270
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 2: for a Big Twelve title last year, and I feel

271
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 2: like they were about minus half a dozen turnovers in

272
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 2: that game. If you can't tell. I still carry a

273
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: little bit of that in my heart a little bit

274
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 2: of that pain. But if they win the Big Twelve,

275
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: it's a huge feather in the cap for Matt Campbell,

276
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: it's a huge feather in the cap for the Iowa

277
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 2: State Cyclones, and I probably get a lower back tattoo

278
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 2: commemorating the occasion. But my follow up on that if

279
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: this were to occur is what's happened to Oklahoma? Is

280
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: this one of those situations because these teams theoretically would

281
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: play twice in this scenario. Is this one of those

282
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 2: deals where Oklahoma beats Iowa State in the regular season

283
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: and then they follow it up a couple of weeks

284
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 2: later with a poor turnover performance of their own and

285
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 2: Iowa State clips from thirty to twenty seven. But that's

286
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: Oklahoma's only lost and they're still in the playoff? Or

287
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: is this a situation where i Was State beats Oklahoma

288
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 2: twice and Oklahoma, after coming in with the Heisman Trophy,

289
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 2: favorite number one and many reputable preseason publications, they don't

290
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 2: even make the playoff and they don't win their own

291
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 2: conference for the first time in seemingly forever. How would

292
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 2: that change the perception of Lincoln Riley? Like this takeaway

293
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 2: even though it's about Iowa State, has a lot more

294
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: Oklahoma dripping from it than Iowa State because we know

295
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 2: what we feel for better or for slightly less better

296
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 2: about Iowa State.

297
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: So there's that.

298
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 2: But then I think the biggest overall shocker to me,

299
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: even out of all the scenarios we've just presented, the

300
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 2: one where someone said, what if a PAC twelve team

301
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 2: wins the national championship? That's the one that made me

302
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 2: drop the pen and I crossed the arms and I

303
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 2: had to save the pin from going off the desk,

304
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,479
Speaker 2: and I crossed the arms, and I said, Collins.

305
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: Should we even put this in the show?

306
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: Because we said it has to be realistic and in

307
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 2: the interest of fairness and in the interest of honoring mathematics,

308
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 2: the percentage chance of this happening does just meet the

309
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: minimum baseline requirement that we are going to honor it.

310
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: What if a PAC twelve team wins the national Championship?

311
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: Now I asked for what would shake up college football

312
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one? Well, this would shake up college

313
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: football in twenty twenty one and beyond. I've got to

314
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 2: think we're only talking about two teams here. All due

315
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 2: respect to Washington. I do not think the maximum capacity

316
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 2: of that team is that of championship. Could very well

317
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 2: be playoff. In fact, they may have better playoff odds

318
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: than Oregon and USC, even though those are the two

319
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 2: teams I'm telling you are the only two with the

320
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: overall talent roster probably capable of pulling this very very

321
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: like thread the eye of a needle sort of scenario off.

322
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 2: But Oregon and USC, if one of them wins the

323
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 2: national championship, I don't know how it happens.

324
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: Obviously, quarterback comes through. The whole team has to come through.

325
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 2: But that would turn college football on its ear, because

326
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 2: all of a sudden you'd have to sing a different

327
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: tune about the PAC twelve. Obviously, think about being the

328
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: brand new commissioner. The commissioner of the PAC twelve is

329
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: so new, I haven't even learned how to pronounce his

330
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: last name.

331
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: Full disclosure. But imagine being mister commissioner, and you.

332
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 2: Walk in and then Oregon or Southern cal just hand

333
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 2: you a national championship on a silver platter, right as

334
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 2: you're getting ready to go into new TV negotiations with

335
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: not only traditionals but also new age streaming platforms. All

336
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: of a sudden, you get to swagger a little bit

337
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 2: when you walk in the room, your shoulders, you don't

338
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: feel slouched over. You got really good big chest posture,

339
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, the pack twelve matters again.

340
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 2: You got to take us seriously again. Hey, I can't

341
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 2: say I would hate it. It would be very good

342
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 2: for college football. Now some others that I thought merited

343
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 2: some discussion before we move on Ohio State opening and two.

344
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: So this obviously goes off.

345
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 2: The Minnesota pulls the upset over Ohio State, but then

346
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 2: they don't recover the next week in Oregon beat them.

347
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: That would be the.

348
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 2: Biggest story in college football this year, outside of some

349
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: ridiculous scandal unfolding Ryan Day and the Buckeyes.

350
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: They get to the national championship game.

351
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: Folks like me are telling you next to Nick Saban,

352
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 2: I take Ryan Day over anyone, and then they start,

353
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 2: oh and to Colin. The more I think about it,

354
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: this will be detrimental for the show. So let's go

355
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 2: for the split. At least if we're in Columbus Cincinnati

356
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 2: being undefeated this year. Some of you said, what if

357
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 2: Cincinnati beats Indiana and Notre Dame. They played both of

358
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 2: them this year, and then they win their conference, they

359
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 2: win their conference title, but they still don't go to

360
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 2: the playoff. I'm gonna put it on record right now.

361
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: If Cincinnati is undefeated, they're in the playoff. I know

362
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 2: there's this misnomer out there, and I think that's exactly

363
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 2: what it is, that the G five is just outright barred.

364
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: There's one of those imaginary fences, and the G five

365
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: has a shot collar on it, and if they ever

366
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 2: tried and get in the playoff, they get zapped. No,

367
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 2: there's no G five team that has ever warranted a

368
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 2: spot in the playoff over the four that have been selected.

369
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 2: But if Cincinnati wins their conference, they beat two power

370
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 2: fives that a lot is expected of in Notre Dame

371
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 2: in Indiana at some point this year or any point

372
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 2: this year. If that's the resume, I think they're going

373
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 2: to be in the playoff. I don't care if there's

374
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 2: a G five sticker on their helmet or not. And

375
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: last I checked, they do not make G five stickers.

376
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 2: Georgia doesn't win the SEC East was one that some

377
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 2: of you floated, and that would be uncomfortable for a

378
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 2: lot of folks, and one of them has the initials

379
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 2: ks that would be on comfortable. Florida's got to play

380
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 2: LSU and Bama this year. Georgia doesn't have to play

381
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 2: either one of them. Georgia has a tailor made schedule,

382
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 2: They've got a Tailormande quarterback situation.

383
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: It's the best overall shot. They've got to.

384
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 2: Make some postseason noise in a run where they've already

385
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 2: been to a national title game. If they don't win

386
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 2: the East, there's a lot of rethinking going on there.

387
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 2: How about Arkansas beats not only Texas in Week two,

388
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 2: but Texas A and M.

389
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: In Week four.

390
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: Arkansas is two and zero against the state of Texas

391
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 2: and we're not even out of September yet the ACC

392
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: grades out as the best overall conference in America. Now

393
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: that one sounds crazy, but you got to remember the

394
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 2: ACC has the best quarterback situation by a little ways

395
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 2: in America this year. I know a lot of the

396
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: spotlights on dj Uyangalile, but what would make this come

397
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 2: to fruition is the thirteen other returning quarterbacks with starting

398
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 2: experience all up and down the ACC roster, and then

399
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,959
Speaker 2: Clemson also coming through. So you'd have Clemson being their

400
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 2: usual powerhouse, and then you'd have several other legitimate programs

401
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 2: playing top ten, top fifteen, Colliver.

402
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: Ball, I'm thinking Miami. Think in North Carolina.

403
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 2: You'd need a Boston College or a Virginia Tech to

404
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 2: pop at some point this year.

405
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: All that, plus I think some of.

406
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 2: The national powers have to fall down to Earth, or

407
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: either you get national powers and just a bunch of

408
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 2: garbage underneath them in multiple conferences.

409
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: This was a fun exercise.

410
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 2: Something tells me, and that something's going to be the

411
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 2: comment section on this video. Something tells me we're not

412
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 2: going to be done with that, So feel free to submit,

413
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: whether it be Twitter, Instagram, at let kick Josh, or

414
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 2: right here in the comment section, give me the plausible

415
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 2: scenario that would totally turn college football on its ear

416
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one if it were to indeed happen.

417
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: Let's move on. Oh boy, So.

418
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 2: I'm scrolling, scrolling, scrolling as I got home last night,

419
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 2: trying to kill some time before I eventually got tired

420
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 2: and went to sleep, and I saw over on the

421
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 2: Athletic they had done a really, really good job of

422
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 2: encapsulating exactly what we have been talking about, and I

423
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 2: want to pull it up so I can give proper attribution.

424
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 2: They've been done a really good job of what we've

425
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 2: been talking about about recruiting. Now, sometimes when I talk recruiting,

426
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 2: you guys tune out. You don't need to tune out.

427
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 2: I don't care if you are totally lukewarm on recruiting

428
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 2: because I'm not breaking down a specific player right now.

429
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 2: I'm telling you what the most important thing in the

430
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 2: sport is, Colin. I'm about to give you your endpoint

431
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,479
Speaker 2: and it will come right about now. Yeah, I think

432
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 2: we're good enough. Now, Okay, So you guys know we've

433
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 2: talked about this a lot. Recruiting in the state of

434
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: Florida is one of the names of this game. There

435
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 2: is a lot of talk out there about a lot

436
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 2: of things. The most important ongoing story in college football

437
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 2: to me is not nil. It is not expanding the playoff.

438
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 2: It is not anything to do with the transfer portal.

439
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 2: It is the ongoing in state talent drain from Texas

440
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 2: and to a larger degree, the state of Florida. Alabama,

441
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 2: to give you a comparison here, has pulled more five

442
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 2: star kids out of the state of Florida since twenty

443
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: sixteen than Florida, Miami, and Florida State combined. Allow me

444
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 2: to repeat for those of you all the way in

445
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 2: the back over there, the University of Alabama map quest

446
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 2: says they're located in Tuscaloosa. The University of Alabama has

447
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 2: pulled more five star players from Florida since twenty sixteen

448
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: than the Big three combined.

449
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: And it's not close. It's nine to six. That's a

450
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: big story. Okay.

451
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 2: Likewise, I think the best regulator on this sport has

452
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,719
Speaker 2: nothing to do with expanding the playoff. The best regulator

453
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 2: on this sport is not INIL and the best regulator

454
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 2: on this sport is not the transfer portal. If you

455
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 2: want balance, you have to have the Big three in

456
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 2: Florida and Texas and Texas A and M and Texas

457
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 2: and Southern Cal and State of California heaping a majority

458
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 2: of their in state talent home. It's just that simple.

459
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 2: Do you understand the twofold alteration of college football that

460
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 2: brings not only do you get traditional powers or which

461
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 2: should be traditional powers in the Big three in Florida, Texas,

462
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 2: Texas A and M Southern Cal.

463
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: Not only do they improve themselves.

464
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 2: But can you imagine watching Ohio State, Clemson in Alabama

465
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 2: without all the talent from those those three states.

466
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: On their roster. How different does the last five ten

467
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: years of college football look?

468
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 2: How different would the next five or ten years of

469
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 2: college football look? So it's more pronounced than Florida, which

470
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 2: is the reason I want to focus on it a

471
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 2: little bit here. And so Manny Navarro and g Allen

472
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 2: Taylor did a wonderful job on the athletic This is

473
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,479
Speaker 2: still on the front page of College Football over there

474
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 2: if you want to go take a look at it.

475
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 2: They obviously took some time on this. They went and

476
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 2: they found ten coaches and scouts, all of whom have

477
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 2: been there at least a decade, right there on the

478
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 2: ground in the Florida high school scene. And they shared

479
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 2: some very general themes. So, since you're anonymous, you can

480
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 2: say whatever you want to. Sounds like some of these guys,

481
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 2: especially coach seven, would say whether you wanted to, whether

482
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 2: he was anonymous or not. But they shared some general themes.

483
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 2: There's gonna be some negativity in this, but I want

484
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 2: to try and balance it out because it was not

485
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 2: all negative. I mean, these high school coaches, if anything,

486
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 2: it's in their best interest to see the big three

487
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: in Florida succeed.

488
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: Most of these guys, make no mistake.

489
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 2: They're pulling for Manny Diaz, They're pulling for Mike Norveld,

490
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 2: They're pulling for Dan Mullen.

491
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: They want those schools to succeed.

492
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 2: They don't want to be sending these in state kids

493
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 2: to Clemson and Columbus and Tuscaloosa. But they're also not

494
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 2: going to prevent them from doing it if that's where

495
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 2: the best opportunity lies for them to advance themselves. And

496
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 2: that is and has been over the past few years,

497
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 2: the current state of college football. So here's what I

498
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 2: wanted to do. I'm going to read you some of

499
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 2: these quotes if you want to see the entire thing.

500
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 2: It's obviously it's behind a paywall. It's over at the

501
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 2: Athletic but it's really really good some of the general

502
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 2: themes here. Let's start with Florida State, and this is

503
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 2: understandable because it's a brand new staff. A lot of

504
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 2: the coaches talked about them being very professional. A lot

505
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 2: of the coaches talked about the Florida State staff having

506
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: their ducks in order. They're very organized, but they're still

507
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 2: feeling themselves out. And I say Florida a lot, But

508
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 2: if you're familiar with Florida, there are several geographical recruiting territories,

509
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 2: one of which is not like the other is not

510
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 2: like the other.

511
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're talking.

512
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: About the Panhandle versus Tampa versus Dade County, these are

513
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 2: three different worlds. And so if you're Norvell, you can

514
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 2: only do one thing at a time, you can only

515
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 2: do one day at a time. So they're still trying

516
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 2: to familiarize themselves with the different recruiting scenes in Florida,

517
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 2: which is to be understood.

518
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: But they've gotten good early returns.

519
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 2: These are good things in this piece that are being

520
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 2: said anonymously about Florida State and their efforts by high

521
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 2: school coaches. Miami. There were also very very good returns

522
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,479
Speaker 2: about Miami. In fact, I would say woven throughout this story.

523
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 2: The best consensus feedback was for the staff at Miami,

524
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 2: which is ironic, and a lot of you would think

525
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: that's ironic following recruiting right now because Miami is not

526
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 2: exactly performing at the highest level in the world in

527
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 2: the current cycle. But Manny Diaz has commented on this

528
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: and said, well, that's okay. We're gonna make our noise

529
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 2: at the end. Well, that's fine, because I'm just gonna

530
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 2: bookmarket and I'm gonna revisit that at the end. If

531
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 2: Miami is still floating outside the top thirty at the end,

532
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 2: it's inexcusable.

533
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:55,479
Speaker 1: Right now, it is what it is.

534
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 2: As for Florida, this is where you're gonna get the

535
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 2: most criticism because I think Florida's staff is the most polarizing.

536
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 2: They've been around the longest, they've had the most success.

537
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 2: They're the best program in Florida right now. And so

538
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 2: Dan Mullen is a very unique, very eccentric guy. He's

539
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 2: going to be either a love them or hate him

540
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 2: type of guy. So there were more probably negative quotes

541
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 2: per capita in this story about Florida and Dan Mullen

542
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 2: than there were about any other coaching staff. But I

543
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 2: don't think that that's a direct indication that Florida's got

544
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: the third best coaching staff in the state. Far from it,

545
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 2: in fact, because what was talked about was Mullen being

546
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 2: more selective. They're not as ultra aggressive on the recruiting trouble.

547
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 2: What they do is they trust their evaluations. A lot

548
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 2: of these high school coaches talked about the fact that

549
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 2: Mullin is not scared of going in recruiting football players

550
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 2: if that means they got two stars or five stars

551
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 2: next to their name, if they've evaluated them. They do,

552
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 2: and this is what you hear pretty universally. They trust

553
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 2: their in house evaluations. But I do want to give

554
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 2: you some quotes. I'm gonna give you a few for

555
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 2: each school because this is stuff that can't be said

556
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 2: a couple of years from now. A couple of these staffs,

557
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 2: especially Florida State staff's still brand new, so you give

558
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 2: them a little bit of a grace period. I still

559
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 2: feel like Manny Diaz and his staff are kind.

560
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: Of sliding into the scene.

561
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 2: There not many, but remember his first year is not

562
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 2: like his second and third year. His first year they

563
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 2: made some staff hires that he realized Year one they

564
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 2: needed overhaul. Rhet Lashly for instance, was not their year one.

565
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 2: He's the offensive coordinator there.

566
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: Now, how about these these.

567
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 2: Anonymous I want to say, anonymous coach quotes on Florida

568
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 2: For example, an anonymous coach number seven extra Saucy coach

569
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 2: number seven. He said, I never spoke to anyone on

570
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 2: the phone in the spring. It was text messages. They

571
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 2: asked me things.

572
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: Like who you got.

573
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 2: It doesn't seem like they're interested in Jacksonville. I would

574
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 2: guess this guy's coaching near Jacksonville. And he says, that's

575
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 2: why you see a lot of our kids fly the coop.

576
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 2: That's why Jacksonville is not gayt or territory anymore, and

577
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 2: why Miami has come in here and gotten some really

578
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 2: good players.

579
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if staff turnover is the issue. It's

580
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: changed three.

581
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 2: Times with Mullen in our area again. And unless it's

582
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 2: a situation where you have a kid they really want,

583
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 2: there's not a bunch of networking going on. Another coach

584
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 2: said it's a little more exclusive at Florida. It doesn't

585
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 2: seem like they cast a wide net. They used to

586
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 2: do the megacamp stuff. Now they're really selective. It makes

587
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 2: for less work. It has a little bit of arrogance

588
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 2: to it. Yet another coach said things have changed a

589
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 2: lot because they do a lot of recruiting through Twitter.

590
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 2: It's been over a year since I spoke to a

591
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 2: coach from Florida. Lastly, coach Number one said, I don't

592
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 2: think Florida recruits South Florida. They're not good at it.

593
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 2: Maybe that's by design, maybe that's their strategy. Some of

594
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 2: the coaches down here think they're taking a more national

595
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 2: approach to recruiting. My point is this can be anecdotal.

596
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 2: Any one of them could be chalked up to sour grapes.

597
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 2: You can't know who this is, so you can't know

598
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 2: what the direct attachment is to Florida or whether there's

599
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 2: an ax to grind.

600
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you this is the feedback.

601
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 2: You hear a lot about Florida's recruiting effort right now.

602
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 2: It's why I harp on it. I don't harp on

603
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 2: it because I'm hating on the Gators. It's the exact opposite.

604
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: I'd love to see Florida park from the top three

605
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 2: every signing day, and I think it is inexcusable when

606
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 2: they're not close to it. See, they float in that

607
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,239
Speaker 2: six to fifteen range any cycle, and if you are

608
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 2: the Boise State Broncos, you look at that and say, Wow,

609
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 2: they're knocking it out of the park. Well, no, they're

610
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 2: not knocking it out of the park.

611
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: They're good.

612
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 2: Florida recruits, good in an area and at a program

613
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 2: where you should recruit excellent. I would not if I

614
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 2: were a Florida fan, except anything less. And my point

615
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 2: is when you got high school coaches in South Florida

616
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 2: saying we don't hear from them very much.

617
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: In fact, I would.

618
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 2: Guess their strategy is don't even recruit down here. I

619
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: don't know that that's what I want high school coaches

620
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 2: in my state saying about me. But it wasn't just

621
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 2: a Florida bash fest. How about Florida State. Coach number

622
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 2: five said, this group at Florida State and more professional,

623
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 2: much more transparent with you. They're just not as active

624
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 2: as Florida is. Okay, well, there you go one for

625
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 2: the Gators. Maybe the Tampa area is something they don't

626
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 2: want to do.

627
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. Now.

628
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 2: This was said by a couple of coaches talking about

629
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 2: Florida State and talking about how they haven't been active

630
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 2: in Tampa. Look, my guess is they just have haven't

631
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 2: learned or haven't developed the.

632
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 1: Strategy to attack the Tampa area yet.

633
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 2: Because there are other areas where you read coaches talking

634
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 2: about how they've already gotten in there, and we've already

635
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 2: heard from them more, even though they're newer than we

636
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 2: have that Florida staff. Another coach on Florida State FSU's

637
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 2: had three head coaches in five years. They don't seem

638
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 2: to have that drive to get into my area and

639
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 2: win a lot of battles.

640
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: Yet another coach, this time.

641
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 2: A scouting type, said, I think they've got a problem

642
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 2: in Florida. They don't really have much of a footprint

643
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 2: in Tampa. There's the Tampa theme again. I don't think

644
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 2: they've got a footprint in a lot of areas. I

645
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 2: think they're comfortable in areas they usually go to. To me,

646
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 2: I think it's a little early to talk like that

647
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 2: about Florida State staff. I know it sounds like I'm

648
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 2: stumping for them. I don't have a dog in this

649
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 2: I promise you I don't have a dog in this fight.

650
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 2: I'd love for all of them to finish top five.

651
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 2: The math works out, there is room. But I think

652
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 2: it's early to say that about the Florida State staff

653
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 2: only because I think it's trying to drink water from

654
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 2: a fire hydrant when you walk in there.

655
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: Given the circumstances they walked.

656
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,479
Speaker 2: In under last year and tell you all, learn your

657
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 2: entire raw, get ready for a season. We're going to

658
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 2: take spring from you. You're really going to get an

659
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 2: abbreviated version of fall camp. Also, I'm gonna need you

660
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 2: to learn every geographical recruiting territory in Florida, Learn every coach,

661
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 2: learn every high school staff, YadA, YadA, yda. This is

662
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,719
Speaker 2: not enough time. They haven't had enough time to do

663
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 2: it yet, so I give them somewhat of a pass there. Now,

664
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 2: how about Miami, Miami, I think there was a lot

665
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 2: of mixed feedback, which indicates to me Miami has been

666
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 2: in some of these schools and they haven't been in

667
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 2: some of the other schools.

668
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: You could tell where they've been.

669
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 2: For example, why don't you take a guess along with

670
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 2: me if Miami has recruited coach number two?

671
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: School Coach number.

672
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,719
Speaker 2: Two said, I'd say they're very laxa days ago, are

673
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 2: very laid back. They're not as aggressive as others. You'll

674
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 2: have to wait until signing day to see if that

675
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 2: approach works. Okay, that's kind of what a lot of

676
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 2: people are saying about Miami's approach right now this year.

677
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 2: But then juxtaposed that to the very next coach, who said,

678
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 2: I think they're pretty aggressive. They've done a really good

679
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 2: job in the past of getting kids on campus, whether

680
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 2: it's junior Day or whatever it is, they've always recruited

681
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 2: our kids hard. Well, this just screams to me. They've

682
00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 2: been in one school and hasn't been in the other school.

683
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 2: Coach number ten said, they do a good job. They're

684
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 2: going to get our guys before anybody else. If I've

685
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 2: got to do it on our roster, they get to

686
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 2: them before Ohio State or Michigan or Alabama. So these

687
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 2: were some of the anonymous quotes. Again, that's like a fraction.

688
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 2: This thing goes on forever. That's a fraction of the quotes.

689
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 2: But here's one thing I wanted to stress. One of

690
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 2: the most lazy go to arguments I hear out of

691
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 2: the state of Florida is well, when the big boys

692
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,479
Speaker 2: come down here and take our players, well, they're just

693
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 2: outbidding us.

694
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: They're just paying more.

695
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 2: This is in a lot of ways pure fantasy, but

696
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 2: in other ways it is the most over dramatized and

697
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 2: overused talking point in all of recruiting.

698
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: Now here's what I didn't just say.

699
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 2: I didn't just say every recruiting effort for a kid

700
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 2: that leaves the state is squeaky clean. That's not what

701
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 2: I said. But I'm also telling you it's not some

702
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 2: cash fest. It's not some auction block where the highest

703
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 2: bidder is walking out of the state with your talent

704
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 2: and you're just folding. You're saying, I want as high

705
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 2: as I'm going to go. That is again message board

706
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 2: fantasy world. That's not how this scene's actually working. But

707
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 2: if you don't want to take my word for it,

708
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 2: I want you to take note. If you go and

709
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 2: read this piece on the Athletic They asked every single

710
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,959
Speaker 2: one of these coaches at the high school level and

711
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 2: every single one of these scouts. They said, point blank,

712
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 2: is that what's causing the disparity is money exchanging hands,

713
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 2: illegal benefits? Is that what's causing kids to leave the state.

714
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 2: Not a single one of them even indicated They weren't

715
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 2: even so much anonymously as willing to indicate that that

716
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 2: was playing a factor. Now, a few of them said

717
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 2: I hear things, but none of them even said they

718
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 2: had direct knowledge of it.

719
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: So here's what I'm asking.

720
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 2: What's more plausible is it more plausible that through research

721
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 2: on the Internet you have uncovered a treasure trove of

722
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 2: information that singularly explains the recruiting tilt in Florida, Or

723
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 2: could these guys maybe know a little bit more and

724
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 2: it's just that other stats are out working them and

725
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 2: they're offering a better product. Because now, the last thing

726
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 2: I wanted to mention is when these folks with the

727
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 2: Athletic asked these coaches to compare the in state recruiting

728
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 2: efforts to the best out of state recruiting efforts, there.

729
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: Was not a negative thing said Todd Bates from.

730
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 2: Clemson or Brent Venables from Clemson, or Nick Saban coming

731
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 2: in there. Tony Alford from Ohio State, Juwan Sider from

732
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 2: Penn State got a lot of love in this piece.

733
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 2: Corey Raymond from LSU, James Coley's at A and M.

734
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 2: Those guys were spoke about more glowingly than anyone spoke

735
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 2: about the end state coaches in Florida right now, and again,

736
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 2: this is not a biased article. If anything, the biases

737
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 2: for these high school coaches is tilted towards the state

738
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 2: of Florida. They want them to succeed, They want them

739
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 2: to be good. You can tell, even though they didn't

740
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 2: outright say it. The theme woven throughout this entire piece

741
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 2: is that of frustration that the high school coaches keep

742
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 2: having to send their kids one thousand miles north to

743
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 2: play at the best programmed position to get them where

744
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 2: they want to be at the next level, because these

745
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 2: guys aren't leaving and getting under developed. One of them said,

746
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 2: I was watching a national champion game recently and Alabama

747
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 2: put a secondary on the field entirely made up of

748
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 2: South Florida kids, Like, on what planet should I be

749
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: okay with that happening? If I'm any one of a

750
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 2: fan of these big three. They did have good things

751
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 2: to say about Central Florida and Gus Malzan too, so

752
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 2: I did.

753
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: Want to put that out there. So that's a really

754
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: good piece.

755
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 2: I would strongly encourage you to go check that out

756
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 2: over on the athletic Let's move on here, speaking of

757
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 2: the Clemson Tigers. I got told the other day I'm

758
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,479
Speaker 2: not talking about Clemson enough, and so I'm gonna talk

759
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 2: about Clemson some here, but I'm gonna speak about them

760
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 2: in a way that brings all of you in, because

761
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 2: every one of you has an opinion on Clemson. Colin,

762
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 2: here we go, let's talk about Clemson, the future of

763
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 2: Clemson football. You know, I got to put a Z

764
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 2: in here. It's just the way I pronounced it. We

765
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 2: got to live with it. What's the difference though? In

766
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen and twenty twenty one, you may say six years.

767
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: Six years can mean an awful lot though.

768
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 2: In the world of college football, we have gone from

769
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 2: an opinion marketplace which was not satchel rated at all

770
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 2: with Clemson, to an opinion marketplace now fully saturated. What

771
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 2: I mean by that is simply everyone thinks something about Clemson.

772
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 2: In twenty fifteen, if you're just a casual sports fan

773
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 2: and someone told you you're watching the title game Monday night, Oh,

774
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 2: who's in it? Clemson in Alabama? Alabama? And who Clemson's

775
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 2: in the national title game? Wow? Uh?

776
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: Who plays for them? You know you were asking things.

777
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: Some of you may have asked, well, who's their head coach?

778
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: Like you may have not even known that everybody knows Daboswiney.

779
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 2: Now everybody knows Trevor Lawrence, everybody knows DJ Leanglile. Everyone

780
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 2: ended up knowing who Deshaun Watson was But my point

781
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 2: is everybody knows Clemson now well, there's some downside that

782
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 2: comes with that. There's a lot of difference in Clemson now.

783
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 2: One of the biggest differences in Clemson twenty fifteen when

784
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 2: this run started to present day is they're now held

785
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 2: to the Tier one standard. Talked about this with Oklahoma

786
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 2: the other day. Oh, you's never been held to the

787
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,240
Speaker 2: Tier one standard. They will this year. Truthfully, only Bama

788
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 2: and maybe Ohio State and Clemson are held to the

789
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 2: Tier one standard. And that's the only way to explain

790
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 2: people saying things like, you know, Clemson feels like they're

791
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 2: fading a little bit. Now Clemson is they're down a

792
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 2: little bit. I don't think they've been what they used

793
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 2: to be. Here's how you prove that's Tier one standard talk.

794
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 2: What would you be saying about the University of Texas

795
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 2: entering twenty twenty one if they were coming off back

796
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 2: to back years where they played for a national championship

797
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 2: and they went to the College Football Playoff, Because that's

798
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 2: Clemson slipping allegedly, that's them fading allegedly. That's what it

799
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 2: feels like to be held to a Tier one standard.

800
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 2: They weren't held to that in twenty fifteen they are.

801
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 2: Now that's what success big acts. I call it one

802
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 2: of the consequences of success. Another one of those consequences

803
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 2: of success for Clemson is they're held to that standard.

804
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 2: But the standard's okay.

805
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: But there's also another consequence of success, and they're in

806
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 1: the territory now where they're finding out about it because

807
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: there's several years into this run. It's not new anymore.

808
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 2: There's several years in Clemson's got us strong culture. They'll

809
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 2: be the first, second, and third to tell you about it,

810
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 2: and with good reason.

811
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: They should be proud of what they've built up there.

812
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 2: And even among other national perennial contenders, Clemson's got something different.

813
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 2: I've talked to many many a high school kid who

814
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 2: visits up there, even the ones who don't commit to Clemson, say,

815
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 2: but it was different than every other place. No one

816
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 2: gives bad reviews of their Clemson visit. In other words,

817
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 2: but my point is, no culture built on humans is

818
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 2: immune to flaws. You cannot have a culture made up

819
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 2: of human beings that's flawless. And right now the transition,

820
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 2: Daboswiney and any successful head coaches had to navigate is

821
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 2: when you start these runs, everyone's willing to go over

822
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 2: the cliff for the brand that Tiger Paul in twenty

823
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 2: fifteen was what it was all about. Everybody's mentality. I

824
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 2: remember in twenty fifteen to twenty sixteen, I was on

825
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 2: the field for both of those title games. That was

826
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 2: a total what can I do for Clemson group? Everybody

827
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 2: felt that way. But then as you get success and

828
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 2: you attract attention from places on the map that you

829
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 2: used to not get attention paid to you from, inevitably,

830
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 2: even as many filters as you put on your recruiting effort,

831
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 2: you get some seepage into the locker room. And that

832
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 2: seepage is a transition from a what can I do

833
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 2: for Clemson to a what can Clemson do for me?

834
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: Mentality.

835
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 2: Now I'm not ignorant, I know that's in every locker room.

836
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 2: But at Bama, Nick Saban's had about decade's advance on

837
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 2: figuring this stuff out. Ryan Day is gonna figure it out,

838
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley's figuring it out, Kirby Smart's figuring it out.

839
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,280
Speaker 2: All these new coaches they eventually have to figure that out,

840
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 2: but it clems them. They're figuring that out if you

841
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 2: look at them. There's no way to quantify this. Don't

842
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 2: even try to fit a stat category around this. I'm

843
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 2: just telling you. If you watched them last year and

844
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 2: you think to yourself, if you're a Clemson fan, if

845
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,280
Speaker 2: you think to yourself, there's just a little something missing.

846
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 2: You could go position group by position group. You can

847
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 2: list those things. But you can also add this not

848
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 2: as the core reason, but a little bit of seasoning

849
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 2: on top of the reason. Once you adjust for this,

850
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 2: you can you can still perfectly win.

851
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,720
Speaker 1: It's just different. It's a different culture.

852
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 2: Another thing that's changed for Clemson is I think Daboswiny's

853
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 2: in the process of learning. He has to redefine what

854
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 2: the fuel that runs that engine is. And I've spoken

855
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 2: about this ad nauseum on the show. I'm not gonna

856
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 2: spend ten minutes on this again. Disrespect is not a

857
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 2: sustainable fuel source. It's the easiest thing in the world

858
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 2: to get pissed off when someone tells you someone says

859
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 2: something bad about you. That's easy. That's the easiest thing

860
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 2: in the world to do. I could get someone with

861
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 2: the IQ of this laptop to get mad if I

862
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 2: tell him someone's hating on you. Look, hey, look, look,

863
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 2: look look at the quote here, buddy, look what.

864
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 1: They said about you.

865
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 2: That's not sustainable because the more fired up you get,

866
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 2: the more damage you do, or, in this case as

867
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 2: a football team, the more winning you do. And then

868
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 2: you get to a point like Forrest Gump running out

869
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 2: of the jungle. Well, there's no more fire there, there's

870
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 2: no more threat. And in your case, if you're Clemson,

871
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 2: you win so much, there's no more disrespect.

872
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: Well, if that was what you were using as your

873
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: primary source of fuel, something external, then all of a

874
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: sudden it dries up. Then what do you do?

875
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 2: Well, what you do is you redefine how you fuel yourself.

876
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,240
Speaker 2: If you're Clemson, your recruiting is top notch, your organization

877
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 2: is top notch, Everything about your program is top notch.

878
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 2: Your coaching staff is top notch. You don't need to

879
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,760
Speaker 2: use externals. If you hold yourself to the proper standard,

880
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 2: everything else will operate the way it's supposed to. But

881
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 2: I circle back to the question that we began this

882
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 2: whole segment asking where is Clemson.

883
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: You can ask the question what is Clemson? Where is Clemson?

884
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: Right now?

885
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 2: Well, they're right back where they've been for the last

886
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 2: several years. They have excellent quarterback play. They've got an

887
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 2: excellent quarterback pipeline in the recruiting world setup, which means

888
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 2: they're recruiting every position well because those dominoes tend to

889
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 2: fall right behind the quarterback position.

890
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: Staff continuity is still great.

891
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 2: I think they've still got the best defensive coordinator in

892
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 2: college football.

893
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: They've got really good talent and depth.

894
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 2: Again after maybe a year's reloading period on the defensive line,

895
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 2: which is when they've won titles where they've won the

896
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 2: mat even with good quarterback play, those defensive lines have

897
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 2: won them national championships. They are still a remarkable program,

898
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,760
Speaker 2: still one of the very best in college football.

899
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: I think twenty.

900
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 2: Eighteen confused some people, maybe even inside that Clemson bubble,

901
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 2: confuse some people with misleading you as to how relatively

902
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 2: easy this was going to be to pull off. The

903
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,760
Speaker 2: reality is, if you win a title in this sport,

904
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 2: it's supposed to look like that Clemson Alabama game in

905
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen comes down to the last play. I mean, really,

906
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 2: that's what it's supposed to look like. But two years later,

907
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 2: for a number of reasons, it's not excuse making. There

908
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 2: were just a number of factors that went into that

909
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen game. Clemson was the better team, they won

910
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 2: the title, They should have won the title, but it

911
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 2: was a blowout, and they weren't really that much better

912
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 2: than Alabama. And you're never really that much better on

913
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 2: that stage than the team lining up across from you.

914
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 2: I don't care if they go to the title game

915
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 2: this year, whom steffer up across from not gonna be

916
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 2: thirty points better than them. You can win the game

917
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 2: by that much, but not that much better than them. Well,

918
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 2: the problem was he had a true freshman quarterback in

919
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, and you go win in a route against

920
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 2: the top program in the game.

921
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: And I remember talking to some Clemson.

922
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 2: Fans out in Santa Clara and they were already thinking about,

923
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 2: not only are we about to win the next two

924
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 2: because if Trevor wanted it as a true freshman, now

925
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 2: in the world, we're gonna be stopped when he's a

926
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 2: sophomore in a junior. Well, you never want another one

927
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 2: because the sport's not that easy, and the sport doesn't

928
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 2: sit still. You can ask Bama, you can ask Florida

929
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:36,359
Speaker 2: State under Jimbo Fisher. You can ask Florida under Urban Meyer.

930
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 2: You can have some dominance, but it's never gonna sit still.

931
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 2: The reason people make such a big deal about Saban

932
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 2: is because he's won, and the sports tried to adjust,

933
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 2: and he just whacks him back down, and they try

934
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 2: and adjust again, and he whacks him back down, and

935
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 2: if he can't whack him down, he redefines his entire program,

936
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,800
Speaker 2: and then he just throws him into a wood chipper

937
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 2: instead of whacking him down. Well, that's the difference in

938
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 2: top program versus top team. If you want to transcend

939
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 2: to being a top program, which Clemson already is, but

940
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 2: if you want to assent to being the top program,

941
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 2: you have to redefine some things. I mean, that's the struggle.

942
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,919
Speaker 2: That's why even as they breeze through the ACC when

943
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 2: you watch the way they operate, they operate like their

944
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 2: jobs are on the line each week. Well, that's holding

945
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 2: yourself to a different standard. That's not a bad thing,

946
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 2: that's a very good thing. I just wish this is

947
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 2: me personally. I know some of you guys love this.

948
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 2: Me personally, if I'm pulling for a team, I hate, hate,

949
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 2: hate hearing the disrespect us against the world stuff, because

950
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 2: it just doesn't last. If we win that day, that's great.

951
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 2: At what future expense have we won this game? Because

952
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,919
Speaker 2: I think about it down the road and I ask myself, well,

953
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 2: when that barrel's dry, what are we drawing from? And

954
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 2: the answer is sometimes you're not drawing anything. So I

955
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 2: prefer these standard based approach. It's more boring, less headlines,

956
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,439
Speaker 2: press conferences aren't as fun, but the confetti sure does

957
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 2: rain down just as pretty as it always did. I

958
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 2: wanted to wrap up the show tonight. Man, we got

959
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 2: a lot of folks watching live, don't we thank you

960
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 2: so much?

961
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 1: Hey?

962
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 2: Like the video If you haven't already in subscribed to

963
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 2: the channel while you're here and thank you, should have

964
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 2: led with thank you, then humbly asked you to do

965
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 2: the following two. Have you guys been paying attention today,

966
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 2: cause this Sunday, we're wrapping up a weekend where just

967
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 2: as we told you was gonna happen Thursday. We have

968
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 2: had a wave of commitments, this July commitment wave. Don't

969
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 2: know if it's ever going to happen to this degree again,

970
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 2: but man, it's been fun. We've had actually in the

971
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 2: last two hours, we had a new major commitment. I

972
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 2: told our again, I told our staff, let's wait as

973
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 2: long as possible making the graphics so that we can

974
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 2: make sure we have an up to date team ranking.

975
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: So we do.

976
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 2: And so let's talk about in no particular order. Really,

977
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 2: let's talk about what's happened. Just in the last few hours.

978
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 2: Oklahoma has indeed landed Malachi Nelson. This is a twenty

979
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 2: twenty three to five star quarterback. Told you the stat Thursday.

980
00:43:55,239 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 2: It has now verified Lincoln Riley. If Malachi Nelson goes

981
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 2: on the sign, and these big time quarterbacks don't tend

982
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 2: to decommit, so if Malaki Nelson goes on to sign,

983
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 2: that will be the third five star quarterback that Lincoln

984
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 2: Riley has signed in the last five cycles. And this

985
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 2: one's from Los Angeles, California. They're going all across the country,

986
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 2: are the Oklahoma Sooners to get talent. They also got

987
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 2: Trey on Webb over the weekend. That's a four star

988
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,399
Speaker 2: athlete from Jacksonville. He's also I believe in that twenty

989
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 2: twenty three class. And I'll tell you something else that

990
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 2: Oklahoma did that didn't get.

991
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: Nearly as much spotlight.

992
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 2: But a kid I really like in the twenty twenty

993
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 2: two class was Caden Helms. He's a three star tight end,

994
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 2: probably like a tight.

995
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:38,280
Speaker 1: End wide receiver.

996
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 2: They could develop him to play either or both positions

997
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 2: at the college level.

998
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: He's six five to two twenty.

999
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 2: I would venture to guess the reason he only has

1000
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 2: three stars next to his name is because he's viewed

1001
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 2: as sort.

1002
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 1: Of a tweener, but not for Oklahoma.

1003
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 2: If I'm a scout at Oklahoma, if I'm evaluating for Oklahoma,

1004
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 2: this kid's a four star minimum for what they want

1005
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 2: to do with him, because he's perfectly.

1006
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:00,760
Speaker 1: Built for their system.

1007
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 2: Again, six' five could probably grow into that two twenty,

1008
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 2: five two.

1009
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 1: Thirty you can have him as a jumbo.

1010
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 2: Receiver you love him as a tight end in that

1011
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 2: kind of offense with that, size so he's a perfect

1012
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 2: mold for that.

1013
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 1: Offense So oklahoma killed. It oklahoma's been killing. IT i just.

1014
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 2: LAUGH i was going back and forth with someone today

1015
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 2: told Me oklahoma can't win a. Playoff everyone knows, that

1016
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 2: or so he, said AND i, SAID i don't know.

1017
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 2: That and they screenshot the last few playoff results and they, said,

1018
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 2: here let me educate. You and my response was, cool

1019
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 2: can we go back in time to twenty fifteen and

1020
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 2: you educate me How clemson can't win a national championship

1021
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 2: just because they.

1022
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: Haven't everyone forgets. This does no one remember the term

1023
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: clemsoning around? Here no one remember how popular that.

1024
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 2: Was they couldn't win it until they, did and then

1025
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 2: they won another, one and no one talks about that.

1026
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 2: Anymore but apparently, we some of, us still live in

1027
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 2: a world where if you've never done, something it's automatic

1028
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 2: evidence you'll never do. ANYTHING i don't believe even. THAT

1029
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 2: i Believe oklahoma won a national title Under Lincoln. Riley moving,

1030
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 2: on speaking of The Clemson, Tigers, colin they better never

1031
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 2: say again that we don't speak About clemson. Enough, hey

00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 2: he is pretty big bodied at that. Point but if

1084
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 2: you're looking at the screen right, now let's take a

1085
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 2: look at What Tyler booker became from a physical stature.

1086
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,879
Speaker 2: Standpoint Nick saban was pretty well. Developed he was who

1087
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:48,240
Speaker 2: he was gonna be in twenty. Fifteen, However Tyler booker

1088
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 2: put on about another foot and a half and so

1089
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 2: now that's him as a, junior standing six five three twenty.

1090
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 2: Five that's the number four overall offensive tackle in the.

1091
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:58,720
Speaker 2: COUNTRY i was talking to one of Our alabama sources

1092
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:02,399
Speaker 2: today and they, said, look the obvious here is he's

1093
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 2: a primetime.

1094
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 1: Player like he's a highly rated.

1095
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 2: Kid but the Reason bama likes him so, much it's

1096
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 2: Because bama over the last few, years they've shifted their

1097
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 2: offensive line approach to we're gonna put the best five

1098
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 2: offensive linemen on the. Field so for the past five,

1099
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 2: Years bama's offensive line approach has kind of shifted to

1100
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 2: find our best five put.

1101
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 1: Him on the.

1102
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 2: Field, well what that does is it greatly behooves you

1103
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 2: to have guys that can cross train and play multiple.

1104
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,399
Speaker 2: Positions Think Barrett jones once upon a, time but more

1105
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 2: Recently Evan neil who's on the team right. Now Alex

1106
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 2: leatherwood mentioned in Some South florida. Guys, again well that's

1107
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 2: Where Tyler booker's. From Tyler, booker of course they like

1108
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 2: him at tackle at six four three twenty, five but

1109
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 2: at the same time they feel that he could very

1110
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 2: easily if they need him to start at, guard so

1111
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 2: he could play a lot of different positions on the offensive,

1112
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 2: line right left. Side so he Is taylor made to play.

1113
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 2: Early obviously physically pretty advanced. THERE i also wanted to

1114
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:55,359
Speaker 2: touch on. This K Tron allen is the four star

1115
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 2: running back AT. Img you notice the theme continue here

Speaker 2: THIS img infome rolls. On he committed To Penn, state

1117
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:06,040

1118
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 2: allen Joins Nicholas. Singleton those are two four star running

1119
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 2: backs for this. Cycle as a, duo they go To

1120
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 2: Penn state talked about the whole running back by committee

1121
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 2: approach being much more favorable than primetime featured running back

1122
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty.

1123
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: One don't fall for, it.

1124
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 2: Kids Penn state's got the number two class in the

1125
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:26,040

1127
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 2: tech for star offensive. Lineman he does indeed land At Virginia.

1128
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 2: Tech i've got to give credit To Justin foine and his.

1129

Speaker 2: Staff they have the number fifteen class in the country right.

1130
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,000
