1 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: Paper pops, multiple paper pops to lead the show. I 2 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: actually want to break some news for you guys. Yeah, 3 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 1: I'm professional because I didn't tell the staff about it. 4 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: That's okay, we don't need any elements. December twenty eighth, 5 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: three point thirty pm Eastern Standard time. Clear your schedules, 6 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. The pop Tart Bowl will once again 7 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: emanate from Orlando, Florida. There you go, we have a 8 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 1: kickoff time for the Pop Tart Bowl. As you know, 9 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: we lost a good pop tart last year at that game. 10 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 1: But don't worry. Two to a pack, as Kansas State 11 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 1: was told when they tried to book the pop Tart 12 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: for their celebration, and we're told, well, he's dead. You 13 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: ate him. He can't be there. But don't worry. We'll 14 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: have a mascot next year because there are two pop 15 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: tarts to a pack. So with the more serious stuff 16 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: out of the way, welcome in lay kick is live, jam, 17 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: packed high type a festive downtown Nashville, Tennessee. CMA Fest 18 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: is going on all over the place here a true story. 19 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: We couldn't get food delivered to the building today, so 20 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: we are surviving on pop tarts actually lunchables, and I 21 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: had a bunch of crackers. So men have survived far worse. 22 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: I think we'll make it. The Hall of Fame, however, 23 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: has serious issues and we need to talk about it 24 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: because I think I probably danced around this three or 25 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: four times in the past. I never injected it into 26 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: the show. But we got a real problem in the 27 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: College Football Hall of Fame. We've got big questions for 28 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,919 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four season, staff changes, staff sizes, even 29 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: is that about to really fundamentally be altered in the 30 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: immediate future of college football? And does it matter or 31 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: might I have a very simple solution tonight, bold but simple. 32 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: Someone someone's calling a friend of the program into question 33 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: regarding Dion Sanders in Colorado. So I'm going to talk 34 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: about that. We got the LSU mood Tracker on the 35 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: show tonight. We got a jam packed show. Okay, as 36 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: we do every time we go live. They're watching us 37 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: in Reidsville, North Carolina, Fontana, California, Saratoga Springs, Utah, and 38 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: bo Az, Alabama. Thank you guys so much for making 39 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: everything that we get to do here for a living possible. 40 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: Appreciate you guys, so much. Okay, here we go. I 41 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: can't believe we're leading the show with this, but it's 42 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: public service and it is our job as America's college 43 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: football show. Sometimes it's our job to roll up our sleeves, 44 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: get into the weeds and get our hands dirty. And 45 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: tonight we get our hands dirty. Colin. Here's a good 46 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: endpoint for you. The College Football Hall of Fame is 47 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 1: a wonderful idea. Love college football. There are a lot 48 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: of good players, and good coaches and good people who 49 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: have come through this sport, and they deserve to be recognized. 50 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: We've got no issue with that, right right, right, Okay, 51 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: we don't have a problem with the Hall of Fame. 52 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: We don't have a problem with having a very high 53 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 1: bar for which you have to clear to get into 54 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: that Hall of Fame. No problem with any of that. However, 55 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: I do have a big problem with what the College 56 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: Football Hall of Fame has become. Not as an entity. 57 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: Love it and love the folks down there. We've done 58 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: our show from there twice, so I love all that. 59 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: It's not them, the fine folks and the staff down there. Notwithstanding, 60 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: it's the criteria that, for whatever reason, was constructed in 61 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: order to make it into that thing. That's the problem. 62 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: It's another reminder. This week was another reminder that the 63 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: rules are a disaster. So the nominees for this year's 64 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: class got I guess announced this week. Saban and Meyer 65 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: headlined the class. Nick Saban, Urban Meyer. Something in me 66 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: tells me they'll both get in. But it's not about 67 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: who's gonna make it. That's the crime of this. All 68 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: we should be should be celebrating. I should be celebrating 69 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: and enjoying names from the past who are being enshrined 70 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: rightfully so in the College Football Hall of Fame. But 71 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: instead it's it's this punch to the chest cavity again 72 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: of how screwed up the voting process is and the 73 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: admissions process is for the College Football Hall of Fame. 74 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: It started last year. It started last year because you 75 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: start to realize Mike Leach passed away, and Mike Leach 76 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: will never be a Hall of Famer as the rules 77 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 1: are currently constructed, He'll never be a Hall of Famer. 78 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: And he's not alone. You know who else is ineligible 79 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: for the Hall of Fame College Football Hall of Fame 80 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: based on the current criteria. Howard Schnellenberger, who truthfully, I 81 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: assumed was in until yesterday when that was brought to 82 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: my attention. Pete Carroll at USC Stetson. Bennett just made 83 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: history at Georgia. Not gonna get in. Nick Chubb top 84 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: five sec rusher of all time, Sorry, Trevor Lawrence Clemson, Nope. 85 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: Colt Brennan put Hawaii football on the map for a generation. No, 86 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: Julio Jones at Alabama who never heard of him, Probably 87 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: gonna be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Not 88 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: good enough for the college football Hall of Fame. Why? 89 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: Because of stupid rules. That's why I that was borderline groping. 90 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 1: Need do that. I appreciate rules. It may sound to 91 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: you if you don't know me any better, like I'm 92 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: someone who likes to constantly lower the bar, and he 93 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: must be one of those people who likes to bend 94 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: the rules. Hey, if you can't throw strikes, let's just 95 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: widen the plate. That's not me at all, that's not 96 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: me at all, Quite the opposite. But but I am 97 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: a proponent of establishing logic based rules and then never 98 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: budget on him. And if you're not good enough, you're 99 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: not good enough. So it should be the same way 100 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: with college Football Hall of Fame. If you're not good enough, 101 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: you're not good enough. Here's the thing, though, a lot 102 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: of those dudes are good enough. I think most of 103 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: you would agree with me on this. I didn't even 104 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: know how deep it went. Like I said, I knew 105 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: we had a leech problem last year because Mike Leach 106 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: passed away. And then all of a sudden you realized, wait, 107 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: he can't be in the Hall of Fame. Why he's 108 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: never going to be eligible for the Hall of Fame. Why? 109 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: And then and only then, I think a large majority 110 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: of us started to realize, oh, there are guidelines here. 111 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: Like Unlike Major League Baseball, up pro sport, college football 112 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: decided to put hard metrics as barometers on inclusion into 113 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: the college Football Hall of Fame, and as a result, 114 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: a lot of people who clearly should be in the 115 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: college Football Hall of Fame aren't going to be in 116 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: unless we get something done about this. And I'll address 117 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: that in a second. So Grishy interim producer. Grishy is 118 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: here because Jesse irresponsibly is on his honeymoon. Just the audacity, 119 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: by the way, the audacity we kid because we care, 120 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: do we have the criteria? That's what I was about 121 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,679 Speaker 1: to ask you before I got sidetracked with Jesse bashing 122 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: the criteria. Listen to this if you're listening on podcasts. 123 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: Players must have been selected first team All American. A 124 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: player becomes eligible ten years after their last college football season. 125 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: I got no problem with that, but they have to 126 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: have been a first team All Americans. So I want 127 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: you to think about that for a second. Post football 128 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: record as a citizen is also weighed, so you know, 129 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,799 Speaker 1: don't let us find bodies in your trunk. And also, 130 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: they must have played their last year of college football 131 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: within the last fifth years. That's for a player. So 132 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb, for example, one of the best we've ever seen, 133 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: one of the best to ever do it in the 134 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 1: history of the SEC. But he happens to exist in 135 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: the same time period as other really good running backs. 136 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: And so Nick Chubb wasn't a first team All American 137 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,239 Speaker 1: and because of that, you're not getting in Nick Chubb. 138 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: That's the long and short of it. For coaches, though, 139 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: I've got an even bigger beef because for coaches there 140 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: are two rules. I got a problem with. One. You 141 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: have to have coached at least ten years. Goodbye, Pete 142 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: Carroll and number two, you have to have at least 143 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: a sixty percent winning percentage over the course of your career. 144 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: I think if you don't know the sport of college 145 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: football any better, you may listen to that and you 146 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: may say, well, what's wrong with that? Sixty percent? That's 147 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: all that's all you have to win. Yeah, that's all 148 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: you have to win. Here's the problem. Not every program's Texas, 149 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: not every program's Clemson, not every program's Michigan. We very 150 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: clearly understand all of us watching or listening here, we 151 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: all understand this is not the NFL. Everything is not 152 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: built in college sports to push everyone to the middle. 153 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: College football wasn't built to be college football the NFL. 154 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: You know, think about pro sports. The NFL exists for 155 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: one thing and one thing only, so it can be 156 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: a professional football league. Major League Baseball exists so it 157 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: can be a professional baseball league, NBA basketball, et cetera. 158 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: And that's all that. There's nothing else to it. It's 159 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: just that. And so they've got twenty eight thirty thirty 160 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: two thirty four teams in pro cities, and they have 161 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: in most sports, salary structures, and then they have a 162 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: draft structure and everything's built with competitive balance in mind, 163 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 1: and there's nothing else. College sports used to just be universities, 164 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: and some of them are nine hundred years old and 165 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,479 Speaker 1: some of them are like ninety years old, and that's 166 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: a stretch, but you get what I'm saying there. Some 167 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: of them decided to have athletic departments and some didn't. 168 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,479 Speaker 1: And the point is it's so discombobulated, and it's so unbalanced, 169 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: and there's so many more teams in college sports. Nothing 170 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: is built on the foundation of equality in competitive college 171 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: athletics never has been financially or competitively, and those two 172 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: go hand in hand. So in college sports, you have 173 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: hals and you have have nots, and to have programs, 174 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 1: have palatial facilities, and they've got multiple donors who write 175 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: seven figure plus checks per year and you get to 176 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: basically buy whatever you want to up to and including 177 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: players now. And then there are other places where they 178 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: make sure you only use one paper plate per day 179 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: in the mess hall because they're broke. If you coach 180 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: at the latter and not the former, it's really hard 181 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: to win sixty percent of your games. So I ask 182 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: you this way, what if I popped Nick Saban down here? 183 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: In Nashville, Tennessee. Saban, for whatever reason, just coaches Vanderbilt 184 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: his whole career. How they do him, I think Nick 185 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 1: Saban's best ever. Do it how they do him? Maybe 186 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 1: sixty percent? Maybe not. My point there is, if pro 187 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: sports don't even have these hard and fast metrics where 188 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 1: it would make sense because everything is roughly on the 189 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: up and up and equal there, why would college football 190 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: be dumb enough to box themselves in by putting these numbers, 191 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: not arbitrary hard and fast numbers in it's unnecessary. We 192 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: can look at a coach. We can look at Mike 193 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: Leach and see he's a fifty nine point seven percent 194 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: winning percentage guy. That's the actual number. By the way, 195 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 1: like needed one more game, he passes away, his interim 196 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: wins the bowl game. Had that been Leach, he'd be 197 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: at that sixty percent threshold. You're telling me that's the difference, 198 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: and that dude being a Hall of famer and not 199 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: being a Hall of famer, Mike blanking Leech not a 200 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: Hall of famer. Tell me the story of offense in 201 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: college football since the two thousands without including Mike Leach. Eh, 202 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: you can't do it. But he's not a Hall of 203 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: Famer because someone on a calculator decided he's not. And 204 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: so Pete Carroll, Pete Carroll's at USC. Tell me the 205 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: story of college football in the two thousands. Without Pete Carroll, 206 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: you can't. You can't. But because he wasn't at USC 207 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: ten years, because he was actually good enough to become 208 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: an NFL head coach, he's not good enough for the 209 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: College Football Hall of Fame. That's insane. So here's the 210 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: thing about rules. The rules for the College Football Hall 211 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: of Fame were not discovered on stone tablets somewhere. We 212 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: don't just have to blindly adhere to them. You made them. 213 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: The College Football Hall of Fame is not even that old. 214 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: It hasn't been around that long. So the group that 215 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: sat around a table and decided on this nonsense still 216 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: has the power to undo it. I would humbly suggest 217 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: you need to exercise that power, because I don't know 218 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: many people in the room who look at Mike Leach, 219 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: for example, and say, yeah, that's that's a good thing 220 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: we kept him out of there. What are we doing 221 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,479 Speaker 1: if you've got a Hall of Fame and the criteria 222 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: does not warrant Mike Leach getting into the Hall of Fame. 223 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: You don't have a college football Hall of Fame. You've 224 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: just got a random collection of people, that's what you have. 225 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: So negative start to the show tonight, hopefully a positive 226 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: ending because I'm not even sure this is opinion. It's 227 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: just obvious what the right thing to do here is. 228 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: And I don't even mean grant him special inclusion. You 229 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: don't have to give preferential treatment to Mike Leach. Just 230 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: do away with your ridiculous sixty winning percentage number that 231 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: is necessary for a head coach. You don't need it, 232 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 1: is my point. Major League Baseball Hall of Fame voters 233 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: do not have a minimum baseline of three hundred as 234 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: a batting average, but they understand in their minds, Hey, 235 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: that number pretty significant. Five hundred home runs. No one 236 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: ever wrote that down officially, but people just kind of 237 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: among themselves decided, now, five hundred, it's pretty solid number 238 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: that we can delineate great all time power hitters versus 239 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: really good ones. You don't have to write it now, 240 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: it's just understood. If it's really that universal and that clear, 241 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: it'll be understood. So I don't know exactly what the 242 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: process here is we were looking at the website today 243 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: for the Hall of Fame. There was a number and 244 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: I love you guys too much to have called you 245 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: live on the air, but I hope we get some 246 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: movement on this because it's insane as it currently stands. 247 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: Let's move on. That's one of the biggest questions in 248 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: college football right now. I've got four more here that 249 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: actually have to do with this year. I appreciate you 250 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: guys being tuned in live. If you are up, stay, stay, 251 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: thank you. Just make sure you subscribe to the channel. 252 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: I had one of you hit me the other day 253 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: and say, I thought I was subscribed to this channel. 254 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 1: I've been watching the show for three years and then 255 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: I checked and I wasn't subscribed. Yes, I know a 256 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: lot of you aren't. Just over fifty percent of our 257 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: viewers and listeners are subscribed. It's free, it costs you nothing, 258 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: there is no string attached to it. You don't get 259 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 1: spammed in your email. It just helps us. So make 260 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: sure check even if you think you are, check and 261 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: make sure you're subscribed. Okay, here we go. Some of 262 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: the biggest questions in college football this upcoming twenty twenty 263 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 1: four season. We just keep going down this list. I 264 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: got like a million of them. For example, which Big 265 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: Ten offenses will see the most improvement this year? I 266 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: think it may surprise you if I were to do 267 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: a little pop quiz and hey, everyone gather around here. 268 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: Big ten offenses last year? Which one led the entire 269 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: conference in points per game? Penn State? Right? No, couldn't 270 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: be Yes, it was Penn State points per game last year, 271 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: number one in the Big Ten. Stats lie to you 272 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: all the time. Never let your mem tell you otherwise. 273 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: Stats lie to you all the time. That's when mind 274 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: never told me that. Me and Ma told me. Stats 275 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: lie to you all the time. You better have some 276 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: context behind it. And here's the context. I took myself 277 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: to State College to watch them play Michigan and their 278 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: offense was non existent. I took myself to Columbus and 279 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: I watched them play Ohio State. Their offense was non existent. So, 280 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: Penn State, are they going to be that much better 281 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: this year? Drew Aller, You know, talking to some of 282 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: the NFL guys, they're still sky high on Drew Holler. 283 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: So they weren't detourred by last year points per game? 284 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: What do we see this year? Not just points per 285 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: game in the big games. What do we see? Because 286 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: they got shut down in those two big games last year. 287 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: They brought Colton Nicky in the offensive coordinator. Is that 288 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: really the magic button? I wonder that. I wonder At Nebraska, 289 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: for example, they were twelfth in the Big Ten and 290 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: points per game last year, horrific passing numbers. They were 291 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: terrible throwing the ball. I think they could only get better. 292 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: And that's with starting probably a true freshman in Dylan 293 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: Ryola this year. If not eventually or if not immediately eventually, 294 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: how good can they be? You know, we believe big 295 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: time in Nebraska's defense, So how good can their offense be? 296 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: It'll be improved. How much has it improved? And Wisconsin, 297 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: you know, Wisconsin, here's what's them. So Paul Christ and 298 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: his staff are out because they weren't revolutionary enough, they 299 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: weren't modernized enough. They didn't score enough. Right. I didn't 300 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: disagree necessarily, So they brought in Luke Fickle. He brought 301 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: in Phil Longo, the offensive coordinator. You know, going into 302 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: the bowl game last year, they were about a field 303 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: goal per game worse in points per game than they 304 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: had been the previous year. Just a little hidden stat 305 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: no one wanted to focus on at the end of 306 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: last season. You know, year one learning curve, which I'll 307 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: grant you, I'll give you a mulligan on that. Well 308 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: in year two. That's why we talk about you in 309 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: this context. You just brought in Tyler van Dyck from 310 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: Miami in the transfer portal. I completely believe in the 311 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: coaching staff as a whole and their ability to not 312 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: only evaluate but then develop. How much difference do we 313 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: see year one to year two? So I'd look at 314 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: Penn State, I'd look at Nebraska. I'm curious about Wisconsin. 315 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: I'm curious about Iowa. That's another place where Tim Lester 316 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: is the offensive coordinator. There now feels like there's nowhere 317 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: to go but up? How much? How much up do 318 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 1: we get? Next question, let's go to Knoxville for a second. 319 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 1: What kind of impact does Niko iam Aliaba have this 320 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: year at Tennessee. You think back a couple of years ago, 321 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, Tennessee felt like they were contending for 322 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: a playoff spot because they were. They were eleven and 323 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: two two seasons ago, and then last season it was 324 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 1: a bridge season. We kind of called it that in 325 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: the preseason and it ended up being that. So Joe 326 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: Milton was the quarterback director. Colin and I and Jesse 327 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 1: actually were at their first game. It's the only game 328 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,679 Speaker 1: we've been to together. They played Virginia. They smoked them 329 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: over here in Nissan Stadium, and so it felt good 330 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: to start off with. But over time you felt this 331 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: season feels a little hollow compared to what we were 332 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: last year. Okay, so they were eleven and two two 333 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: years ago. They go nine and four. Last year. Here's 334 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: the harsh reality. Points per game, they went from first 335 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: to thirty fifth yards per game, first to nineteenth pass 336 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 1: yards per game, fifth to fifty first. I think Niko 337 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: i Amaliav is going to be a star in this sport. 338 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 1: And I don't think you'll have to wait a couple 339 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: of years. I think he will be that this year. 340 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: That dude will end up being a household name in 341 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: college football. And you don't play a long time in 342 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: college football, so you've got to be really good, really fast. 343 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: He's got it. We were over there about a month 344 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: and a half ago, and whether it's on the record 345 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: or off the record, everybody you talk to around that building, 346 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: there are certain things you want to hear from them, 347 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 1: the least of which is usually the physical stuff, because 348 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: people don't miss a whole lot on evaluating quarterbacks these days. Physically, 349 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: there are too many reps that you get your eyes on. 350 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: There are too many people who get their eyes on 351 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 1: those reps. It's too high profile a position. So normally, 352 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: if a guy is a consensus five star from the 353 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: physical side of things, he's going to be that. But 354 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: the neck up, the mental side, the intangibles, that's what 355 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: you want to hear about. And especially in the nil era, 356 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: where that sort of thing for a guy who doesn't 357 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: have his head on straight could really discombobulate and throw 358 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: things off the rails a little bit. It hasn't doesn't 359 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 1: sound like it's happened with him at all. So if 360 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: you've got from the neck up things in order, and 361 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: from the neck down you are just what God made 362 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: you physically and what you have worked to perfect in 363 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,719 Speaker 1: your craft, you could do some really special things. What 364 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: offense would you rather be in? If you're a five 365 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: star talent with a five star head on your shoulders 366 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: and you're six six, two fifteen or two twenty at quarterback, 367 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: I could throw the ball of mile, where would you 368 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: rather play? Hendon Hooker lit it up two years ago, 369 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 1: and it was funny because when you listen to the 370 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: NFL draft types talk, they were talking about Hendon Hooker 371 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: and they were some people were trying to talk about 372 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: what he'd do at the next level. The NFL draft 373 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: types behind the scenes were saying, dude, Heypel is squeezing 374 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: every ounce of his potential out of him right now. Well, 375 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: what that told me was not think about the drop 376 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 1: off that will come when he leaves. Yeah, there may 377 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: be some drop off. What that told me was Hendon 378 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 1: Hooker was never a transcendent type athlete. He was never 379 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: a five star talent. What happens when Hypel gets one? Well, 380 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 1: he's got one. He's got one. Now, how good is 381 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 1: he going to be? One of the big questions in 382 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: college football this year which transfer quarterback? Which of those 383 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: transfer quarterbacks is going to have the biggest impact this year? 384 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: Because there are several of them, and some of these, candidly, 385 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: I think you may have forgotten about. You probably remember 386 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel went up to Oregon, And that may be 387 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: the answer. In fact, that's the answer I would come 388 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: to right off the bat, like Dylan Gabriel could win 389 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 1: the Heisman at Oregon and that would not surprise me. 390 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: So he's in position, he's been plugged into a great 391 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: system and a great program up there. Do you remember 392 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: who Duke picked up? Though? Do you remember Malik Murphy 393 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: left Texas and went to Duke? Manny Diaz is the 394 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 1: new coach there. Malik Murphy, you know, a couple springs 395 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,640 Speaker 1: ago at Texas, he goes off and all these schools 396 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: come back after him behind the scenes, and he stays 397 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: at Texas. Well, then he transferred and he went to Duke, 398 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: and you hadn't heard much else about him. Well, that's 399 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: because Duke doesn't get talked a whole lot about this 400 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: time of year. But this fall, as everyone's trying to 401 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 1: find sleepers in the ACC. I'm not saying Duke is one, 402 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: but Malik Murphy's the kind of talent that could wreck 403 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: a Saturday for four contending team at the very least. 404 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: So I got him Will Howard of course at Ohio State. 405 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: But to me, the question with Howard at Ohio State, 406 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: it's more like, what do we need to get out 407 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: of him? Howard's not a guy I'm looking at and saying, 408 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: you better throw for thirty five hundred yards. You better 409 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,439 Speaker 1: do this, you better do that, like a college Football 410 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame voter, you better hit these certain statistical benchmarks. No, no, 411 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: just play smart and look around you to the left 412 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: and right, and you got future Sunday guys all around you. 413 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: Riley Leonard at Notre Dame, you know, we've got a 414 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: situation there where every time I talk about Notre Dame 415 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: on the show, they're called overrated and I don't even 416 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: know what they're rated yet because they're literally not right. 417 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: Because it is June. That could be one of the 418 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: stories of college football this year. Cam Ward at Miami 419 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,719 Speaker 1: could be one of the stories of college football this year. 420 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: Dj Uyan Galilea at Florida State. Their season largely rests 421 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 1: on whether his skill comes in and not only translates, 422 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: but maybe elevates a level. Florida State's good enough around him. 423 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 1: Mike Norvel's got a plenty good enough program around him. 424 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: So Florida State, as long as Norvell's going to be there, 425 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: is not going to be in a situation where they're 426 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: looking around yelling come help us, come save us. That's 427 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: not the case, but you got to play high level ball. 428 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: DJ can do that. He's capable of that, but I 429 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: don't think the caliber of play he's had to this 430 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 1: point in his career is good enough. So Kenny elevated 431 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: because if I'm a Florida State fan, that's what I expect. 432 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: Like I look at my coaching staff, I think they're 433 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: the real deal. So we go get him. He was 434 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: at Clemson and he was at Oregon State. We bring 435 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 1: him in here. He should play the best year of 436 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 1: his career here. Doesn't mean he has to be a 437 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: Heisman finalist, but we got to get a little bit 438 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: better level of play from him than he's gotten so 439 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: far in his career. Out of all those guys, I'd 440 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,640 Speaker 1: probably go with Dylan Gabriel, like that's the guy who 441 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: has the biggest impact. But look, it could also be 442 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: that you know, at a place like notre name just 443 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:25,360 Speaker 1: the margins here and there that you haven't had Riley Leonard, 444 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: you know, fills that void. And it's not that he's 445 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 1: playing head and shoulders above anybody who's been there. They 446 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: don't need anyone to they just need someone. It's kind 447 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 1: of like the feel at Ohio state. We don't need 448 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: Will Howard to come in here and rewrite our record books. 449 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: We just need him to manage this offense and take 450 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 1: good care of the ball and distribute and make good decisions. 451 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: I guess Gabriel would be my answer because he feels 452 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 1: like the most prolific numbers guy out of this group. 453 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: But we'll see a lot of transfer quarterbacks. I mean, look, 454 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 1: I don't want to overlook I don't want to overlook 455 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: cam Ward. And because Colin is going to cut this 456 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: into two different videos, that's why I get little pregnant 457 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: pause there because I'm about to talk about him. Here does 458 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: the new Well, I don't want to say it that way. Well, 459 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: the ACC have a new Tier one team because it's 460 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,479 Speaker 1: been Clemson in Florida State, and those remain stays there 461 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: at this point and for the foreseeable future. I guess 462 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: it feels like they will be. But then there's this 463 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: drop off, and there still is that drop off in 464 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,719 Speaker 1: the odds market right now. But the odds market is 465 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: really basing that a lot on what history has said 466 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: so far, and I wonder if history is going to 467 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: repeat itself or if this year in the ACC, all 468 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: of a sudden someone ramps up into the main conversation, Like, 469 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: does someone walk up to the head table, pull out 470 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 1: a chair and sit down and not immediately look like 471 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: a fraud. That has to be Miami to me if 472 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: someone does it. But just as surely as I say 473 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 1: that Louisville speaks up, NC State speaks up, I know 474 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: I got some Virginia Tech folks who'll speak up. Virginia 475 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: Tech's probably got a few more pros on that roster 476 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 1: then people realize just throwing that out there. So anyway, 477 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: I don't know if Tech is poised to enter Tier 478 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: one conversation this year. Now, they could be a year 479 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: ahead of schedule and do that and prove me wrong, 480 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: and I'd be happy for him if they did. Miami's 481 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 1: the one poised to do it. Miami's the one that 482 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: won't be hurting for athletes. Miami is the one who 483 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: can go man for man with you. Miami is the 484 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: one who in November I could see surging because if 485 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: cam Ward is what we think he can be at quarterback, 486 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: then they may have the best one in the ACC. 487 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: To put it flatly, Miami could have the best quarterback 488 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: in the ACC. If it doesn't pan out, then it's 489 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: just another December, a long December, a counting Crow's special 490 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: of questioning everything down there. But if he is, and 491 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: I've been down there and I've watched practice, he looks 492 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: insane to me. If he is, then that box being checked. Dude, 493 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 1: If they had him last year, what would they have done? 494 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,360 Speaker 1: That's how I think. So then they've got him this year, 495 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 1: and like everything else, continues to trend up. This is 496 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 1: where emotion enters the equation, you know, because I say 497 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: that about Miami and a lot of people will say, now, 498 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: ah they suck, now ah, this and that. Hear what 499 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 1: I said. I said, everything's trended up. They won five 500 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 1: games Mario's first year there, they won seven last year. 501 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: That's the definition of trending up. The roster is getting better. 502 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean they win the national title this year. 503 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: That's you putting words in my mouth. I didn't say. 504 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: What I'm saying is just factually correct about them. So 505 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: then you insert the opinion and that's the whole you know, speculative. 506 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: If cam Ward is a phenomenal quarterback this year, well 507 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: then what then what is Yeah, that's another Tier one 508 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: team at the very least, even if they don't win 509 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: the ACC. That's a team that figures into the equation 510 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 1: of who's gonna win the ACC. Again, I feel like 511 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 1: everything I just said is fact, and yet it will 512 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: be painted as homerism. NC State is just lurking. To me, 513 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: they're just lurking. Dave Dorn again has a team that 514 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: could puts for eight nine wins. They can't hit that 515 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 1: ten win range, yet they haven't. Double digit wins has 516 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: eluded them. I ask you this just a little side 517 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: note here, and I don't know what it is about 518 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: NC State. I've talked with their folks about this before. 519 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: I feel like NC State should be much bigger deal 520 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 1: than they are nationally. So think about this. It's a 521 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: power for team in a major market. They're in Raleigh, 522 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: they play good football. They haven't been bad at all. 523 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: They've been good. It's a pretty good fan base. I 524 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: just don't get how NC State feels as anonymous as 525 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: they do on the national scene. Like NC State fans 526 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: know their program. ACC fans know NC State. But take 527 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 1: someone in Tulsa, Oklahoma, take someone who lives in in 528 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: Manhattan Beach in California. They're college football fans, but they're 529 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 1: not native to the ACC footprint. What do they know 530 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: or what do they think of? When you say NC State, 531 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: what do they think of Chuck Amato? What do they 532 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: think of It's kind of an anonymous program. It has 533 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: little to do with what we were talking about here, 534 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: because anonymous programs can win a conference title just like that, 535 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: and maybe they pride themselves in that. Maybe they do. 536 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: But I've always wondered that anytime someone asks which is 537 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 1: the sleeping giant program out there, and people would go Texas, 538 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: A and M. And I agreed with that. I used 539 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 1: to say, Central Florida, that's the other one. N C 540 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: State is like a sleeping giant program, but they're not bad. 541 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: So it's not the on the field product I'm necessarily 542 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: talking about. It's the on the field product, and then 543 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: the country realizing that they have that product on the 544 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: field never made much sense to me. Anyway. Let's move on. 545 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: Do you people realize that we're closing in on Father's Day? 546 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors.

So I'm very happy to send you their 575 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: way as Father's Day approaches. Okay, I saw a great 576 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: story today. It's only like a four minute read too, 577 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: So what did mem I used to say me and 578 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: I used to always say, there's a big difference between 579 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: a story and a problem, big difference between a story 580 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: and an issue. There is a story over on cbsports 581 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: dot com right now by the one and only John Talty, 582 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,719 Speaker 1: friend of the program, and he was talking about staff sizes. 583 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: College football over the past decade to decade and a 584 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: half became famous for the big time programs led by 585 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: Nick Saban loading up on off field analysts, and therefore 586 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: you'd have an army of people. You'd be like, Butch 587 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: Jones got fired at Tennessee. I wonder what he's doing. Now. 588 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: Wait a second, I'm watching Bama versus Arkins. Did I 589 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: just did I just see Butch Jones. That's Butch Jones. Yes, yes, 590 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: Well he's the head coach at Arkansas State. Now, but 591 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: Butch Jones ken wizen Hunt used to be an NFL 592 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: head coach. Were you aware ken wizen Hunt was just 593 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,239 Speaker 1: hanging out in Tuscaloosa. Nick Saban went and got all 594 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: these guys and said, you're not working right now. You've 595 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: got experience running an organization, running a program, You've got 596 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: experience coordinating a side of the ball. Come over here. 597 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: I'll pay you forty thousand dollars a year. Maybe. In fact, Colin, 598 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: do you have that snippet from the article? This is 599 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: just such a wild thing. Yeah, there it is. I 600 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: tweeted it out earlier today. So listen, listen to this paragraph. 601 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: This is a real thing. So Talty is talking about 602 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: how Nick Saban discovered this market advantage where he could 603 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: just take the experienced coaches who have failed and he 604 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: could bring him in Alabama, pay him thirty or forty 605 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: grand a year. I'm not kidding, that's what he paid them. 606 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: And they could just they could collect or buy out 607 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: money because they were probably fired and in the me time, 608 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 1: listen to this paragraph. Mike Loxley teamed with Steve Sarkisian 609 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: fresh off a failed stint as USC's coach to help 610 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Lane Kiffen with third down and red zone strategy. 611 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: The duo made a combined eighty thousand dollars a year 612 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: right now. Steve Sarkisan took Texas to the playoff last year. 613 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: Mike Loxley is the head coach at Maryland. Kiffin's been 614 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: the head coach at Ole Miss. They got better odds 615 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 1: to win the SEC than literal Alabama does this year. 616 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: Saban just had them all over there and paying Sarkin 617 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: locks a combined eighty grand a year. Steve Sarkisian makes 618 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 1: eight figures now per year, and Mike Loxley does very 619 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: very well for himself too. So this was all happening. 620 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: And John Talty was writing in this piece, as you 621 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: look at the highest paid coaches in college football, we've 622 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: got one, two, three, four, five, six, We got seven 623 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 1: of them officially making over ten million a year, and 624 00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly is not far off. So Talty was writing 625 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: about how that entire concept may be going away soon, 626 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: about how the army of all field analysts may be 627 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: going away because you're gonna have your budget squeezed because 628 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 1: you're about to have to pay the college football players. 629 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: You're about to have to pay the guys who are 630 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: on the field being coached. So is that gonna happen? 631 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: Are you limiting staff size? Sure, you're gonna limit it. 632 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 1: Is it a bad thing? Not? Really? Do you care? 633 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: Probably not? Nor should you. But if you do care, 634 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: because I know we got a lot of coaches that 635 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: watch the show. A couple of them are probably gonna 636 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: text me before we go off the air tonight, get 637 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: mad about this because you do love being able to 638 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 1: walk around a corner and peep your head in an 639 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: office and give a former NFL head coach a special 640 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: task for the day. Yeah, I understand that's a benefit. 641 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: It's not a necessity though, It's just a benefit. But 642 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 1: I do have a solution, and I know a couple 643 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 1: of big earners in particular who I would like to 644 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: direct this to, not by name, of course. You want 645 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 1: your off field analyst army to maintain itself. You're making 646 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: over ten million a year and you want to be 647 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 1: able to add a group of people and pay them 648 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: about forty grand a year apiece. Hey, I got a solution. 649 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 1: Pay them yourself, come off your own hip pocket and 650 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 1: pay them. There's no room in the budget. There's room 651 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: in your budget. There's room in coach EXLLC. If you 652 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 1: hadn't already created that, and I know good andwell you 653 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: have because that's how you run those camps, then that's 654 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: where the money comes from. There is a concept that 655 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 1: to me has always made perfect sense, whether it's in football, 656 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 1: whether it's in our business, whether it's in any business. 657 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: If you make a ton of money doing what you do, 658 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 1: and you take personal pride in the product, personal pride 659 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 1: in the outcome, etc. In my case, personal pride in 660 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: the show and your company an organization doesn't have room 661 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,799 Speaker 1: in the budget to do every little thing you want 662 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: to do, do it yourself, pay them yourself. Think about 663 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: how much better everyone off is one is in the 664 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,800 Speaker 1: long run. But that is such a foreign concept. I've 665 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 1: noticed this. I've fought with people in my industry about 666 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: this in an argumentative fashion because they think it's sacrilege. 667 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: Like you work at CBS Sports, So if you want 668 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 1: something and they're not giving you the budget, you just 669 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: don't get it. That's just the end of the day. 670 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,839 Speaker 1: I'll go just go buy it. That's what you do, 671 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 1: and it'll pay off down the road. If I'm a 672 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 1: football coach. Let me ask you a question, if a 673 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 1: really good mind, if Steve Sarksian that you respected to 674 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 1: the ends of the earth, was out there and he'd 675 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: been fired, and he was available, and you knew you 676 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,800 Speaker 1: could bring him in to help certain functions of your offense, 677 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: and you needed to pay him forty grand and you 678 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 1: made eleven point three per year, Who in their right 679 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 1: mind would let budget stand between them and bringing Steve 680 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,879 Speaker 1: Sarkisian into office four down the hall. That's insane. Yeah, 681 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: there is a group, there's a sizeable group of people 682 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: who truly believe, Hey, if the company's not going to 683 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 1: pay for it, you better never pay a dime yourself. 684 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 1: Don't you ever give a dime of your money back? Well, 685 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 1: if giving a dime or two or three of your 686 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 1: money back goes to further the product, therefore elevating your 687 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: value even more down the road, and there's in the process, 688 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 1: then it even makes financial sense. Penny wise, pound foolish 689 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 1: is no way to live, as Memai used to say. 690 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 1: So there's the solution. If it's a problem that your 691 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,240 Speaker 1: staffs are going to shrink because of budget, there's the solution. 692 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: Paying yourself. Next up, Bold predictions continue on this show. 693 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 1: Bold predictions are basically what you say you believe enough 694 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 1: to where you would bet your own money on it. 695 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 1: How about this one, because this one's really specific and 696 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 1: it's fairly bold. First up tonight, we go down to Lakeworth, Florida. 697 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: FSU loses two games, one in the regular season, one 698 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 1: in the ACC championship game, and they miss the playoff. 699 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: This is a nine point twenty five on the boldness scale. 700 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,359 Speaker 1: You know what, I'm gonna bump it up because if 701 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: this happens, you should qualify for a chalice of supremacy. 702 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 1: So this is a nine point five on the boldness scale. 703 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: So if Florida State loses one regular season game, they're 704 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,839 Speaker 1: way up inside the top ten going into the conference championship. 705 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,880 Speaker 1: So you're telling me a team that is squarely in 706 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: the top ten and it's Florida State, and everyone remembers 707 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 1: what happened last year, so they absolutely would get preferential 708 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 1: treatment even they're in the top ten. They lose the 709 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 1: conference title game, you're telling me they're gonna be out entirely. 710 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 1: Florida State, by the way, is plus one sixty to 711 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: make the playoff, minus two hundred not to make the playoff. 712 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 1: They are plus two seven. They got best odds to 713 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: win the ACC, so it's not crazy to think that 714 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: being the ACC title game, I guess it's not crazy 715 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 1: to think they'd lose it. I don't even know who 716 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,759 Speaker 1: they'd be playing, or what the spread would be or 717 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,440 Speaker 1: anything like that. But I have a question that I 718 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 1: think is probably either going to be a big story 719 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 1: or not a story at all this year, depending on 720 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,360 Speaker 1: what Notre Dame does. So Notre Dame will not have 721 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 1: a conference championship game. There is a scenario where a 722 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 1: team like Florida State, who would have played Notre Dame. 723 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 1: By the way, a team like Florida State. So let's 724 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,319 Speaker 1: say they're roughly ranked even or maybe slightly ahead of 725 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 1: Notre Dame, and they go into conference championship Saturday, Florida 726 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 1: State has to play another game because they won the 727 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:42,359 Speaker 1: right to they lose it, do they fall behind Notre Dame. 728 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 1: A Notre Dame team that sits at home and does 729 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,919 Speaker 1: nothing because they don't play in a conference. And if 730 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,720 Speaker 1: that happened, and it happened to Florida State of all teams, 731 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 1: and that made them miss out on the playoff, they 732 00:38:55,800 --> 00:39:00,279 Speaker 1: would burn this thing to the ground. So that's a 733 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 1: bold prediction because I don't even think of ten and 734 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: two Florida State's being left out. I know that language 735 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 1: is still a little bit raw based on what happened 736 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 1: last year, but I don't think they would be left out. Now, 737 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 1: if you're talking about they're ten and two and they 738 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,839 Speaker 1: go play for the conference title and then they lose 739 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 1: it and they go ten and three, maybe then, but nah, 740 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: like a ten and two, I don't know, man Like, 741 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:25,319 Speaker 1: I don't think they'd be left out. Eleven and two, 742 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 1: I guess will be the record. I don't think they're 743 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 1: being left out. So that's a nine point five on 744 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 1: the boldness scale for those reasons. Next up, Yeah, this 745 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 1: is another nine point five. We're two for two. Here 746 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 1: Aaron from Dayton, Ohio Drew Aller, Heisman finalist this season. Well, 747 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 1: I have to be honest with you. When I skim 748 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 1: through the notes earlier today, I don't like to have 749 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 1: a lot of notes on these. So when I skim 750 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,719 Speaker 1: through the tweets earlier today, I thought it said he 751 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,879 Speaker 1: wins the Heisman, and you know what, here's what we're 752 00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 1: gonna do erin here's what I have to do to you. 753 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,360 Speaker 1: I think you prediction is a nine on the boldness scale. 754 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:07,279 Speaker 1: But because I already had the staff prepare the elements accordingly, 755 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 1: we're just gonna call an audible here. Already gave you your rating. 756 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,280 Speaker 1: We're gonna call an audible here, and We're gonna pretend 757 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 1: like you predicted Drew Aller to win the Heisman, and 758 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna rank that a nine point five on the 759 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,399 Speaker 1: boldness scale. Now, the benefit to you here is, well, 760 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,400 Speaker 1: we put words in your mouth, so that's a detriment. 761 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 1: But the benefit is if this hits you, win a 762 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 1: challis a supremacy. So Aller is tied for having the 763 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,839 Speaker 1: eighteenth best heismanads right now. He has the same odds 764 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 1: as Shador Sanders, as Cade club Nick, as Miller Moss. 765 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 1: That's that's about the area that he's in right now. 766 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,240 Speaker 1: I think he's just flat out too big a jump. 767 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:47,879 Speaker 1: Last year he had twenty six little over twenty six 768 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,520 Speaker 1: hundred passing yards, twenty five touchdowns, two picks. So Bryce 769 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,399 Speaker 1: Young two years ago won the Heisman and he threw 770 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,359 Speaker 1: for thirty three hundred, thirty two touchdowns, five picks. Jamie 771 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 1: Daniels last year thirty eight hundred passing yards, forty touchdowns, 772 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: four picks. So I know you got the new offensive 773 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 1: coordinator up there, do you really make that big a jump. 774 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,359 Speaker 1: I haven't sold my Drew alller stock or anything like that. 775 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:12,439 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying he couldn't have a good year. 776 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,600 Speaker 1: I'm not saying Pence they couldn't win the Big Ten 777 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 1: for all I know. But winning the Heisman, now that 778 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 1: is a level of individual statistical achievement. I'm not quite 779 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,919 Speaker 1: sure they're capable of hitting this year. If I'm wrong, 780 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 1: I'm wrong. Next up, let's go to the show Me State. 781 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 1: Did some storm chasing there last week. I was in 782 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 1: Van Buren, Missouri, about six hours before tornado hit. I 783 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:40,240 Speaker 1: exit town and the tornado enters. How does it happen? 784 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:44,240 Speaker 1: Hoops amongst us knows. The prediction, though from Laramie, Wyoming, 785 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 1: is that Missouri will make and win a playoff game. 786 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 1: This is an eight point seventy five on the boldness scale. 787 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,839 Speaker 1: You know it's not that bold. Missouri is plus one 788 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,400 Speaker 1: eighty four to make the playoff, minus two thirty not 789 00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,719 Speaker 1: to make the playoff. They're over under win total is 790 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 1: nine and a half that's the same is Alabama. That's 791 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,840 Speaker 1: the same as LSU, that's the same as old miss 792 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,879 Speaker 1: A lot is expected of Missouri. Now it's heavily juice 793 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 1: to the under I'll grant you that. But their over 794 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,879 Speaker 1: win totals nine and a half. It's just not as 795 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 1: wild as it seems. Their quarterbacks got twenty seven starts. 796 00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,920 Speaker 1: Brady Cook, he's coming back this year. If they get 797 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,840 Speaker 1: their secondary figured out and they've got some runway to 798 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:21,960 Speaker 1: do it. They start with Murray State and then Buffalo 799 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:26,040 Speaker 1: BC Vanderbilt. You want another fun little stat to track, 800 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 1: check out how many first year coaches they faced this year. 801 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:32,799 Speaker 1: I think it's like six or seven or something like that. 802 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,920 Speaker 1: Like half their schedule or more is first year head coaches, 803 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 1: first year staffs. Just something to keep an eye on Missouri. 804 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,399 Speaker 1: I don't think it was one hit wonder last year. 805 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,879 Speaker 1: Making a playoff game and winning a playoff game, now 806 00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,399 Speaker 1: that's what's tough. Maybe this should be a nine. We'll 807 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 1: make it a nine. Winning a playoff game, we'll make 808 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,240 Speaker 1: it a nine. And lastly, this is the most creative 809 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 1: prediction we had tonight. John from Texars Canada, Texas. Each 810 00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 1: power for conference gets two teams in the play playoff. 811 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,400 Speaker 1: The SEC will get two teams. The Big Ten, I 812 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:08,000 Speaker 1: think will get two teams. The ACC, I'm fairly confident, 813 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,839 Speaker 1: will get two teams. Don't ask me which ones, but 814 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,560 Speaker 1: I think they will. It's less likely, but I think 815 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: they will. Now the Big twelve, we got some work 816 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:20,400 Speaker 1: to do. Iowa State and who Okay, Iowa State's in. 817 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 1: We all know that. Who's the other Big twelve team 818 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,840 Speaker 1: that makes the playoff? Don't laugh? It really makes me 819 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,400 Speaker 1: angry when I do this show in this isolation chamber. 820 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,360 Speaker 1: But I say something and I know people are listening 821 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:36,239 Speaker 1: to it and they're laughing. It's disrespectful, and frankly, you're 822 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:40,360 Speaker 1: above that. So calm it, clear the air. Here we 823 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:46,719 Speaker 1: go Iowa State and who in the Big twelve? Kansas State? Maybe? Yeah, 824 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:48,759 Speaker 1: I have a scenario that I want to throw out there. 825 00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:50,960 Speaker 1: Here's how this could happen. So let's say there's an 826 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 1: eleven and one team versus a nine and three team 827 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,879 Speaker 1: in the Big twelve championship game. The nine and three 828 00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:01,240 Speaker 1: team wins, they're automatically in, and I think the eleven 829 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,759 Speaker 1: and two teams probably gonna go as well. That's the 830 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,759 Speaker 1: way that could happen. It could just be that you 831 00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:07,640 Speaker 1: have two really, really really good teams in the Big 832 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 1: Twelve this year. That could happen as well. Statistically speaking, 833 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,800 Speaker 1: it's less likely. And I'm not sure how much respect 834 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 1: people are gonna look at the Big Twelve with not me. 835 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,000 Speaker 1: I love the Big Twelve. It's America's college football conference. 836 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,760 Speaker 1: But you know, the You'll committee there, how much respect 837 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 1: do they have for the Big Twelve. Having said that, 838 00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,399 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give that prediction an eight point seven. I'm 839 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,319 Speaker 1: gonna give it an eight point five, eight point five. 840 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 1: I'm calling it in the ring. I'm gonna give an 841 00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:36,280 Speaker 1: eight point five on the Boldness Scale each Power for conference. 842 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,759 Speaker 1: At least two teams in the playoff. That still leaves 843 00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,120 Speaker 1: four spots. That the G five takes one of them 844 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,080 Speaker 1: still leaves three spots. I think it could happen. Yeah, 845 00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,960 Speaker 1: so eight point five. They're watching us in Omaha, Nebraska, Louisville, Kentucky, 846 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:52,120 Speaker 1: Fort Myers, Florida. Thank you guys so much. Someone tried 847 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,719 Speaker 1: to hate on one of our peers earlier today, and 848 00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:57,759 Speaker 1: we don't go for it. We don't go for that. 849 00:44:57,800 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 1: Hall and Oates are in court in Davidson County right 850 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 1: now against each other. But I can't go for that. No, no, 851 00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,759 Speaker 1: can do. So let's take a look at the question here. 852 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,439 Speaker 1: And I appreciate to the ends of the earth, you guys, 853 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,800 Speaker 1: when you send questions, it's okay. If we disagree, like 854 00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,719 Speaker 1: we're about to kind of right here, it's okay. So 855 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:21,719 Speaker 1: here we go, CSU fan from Fort Collins, Colorado. I'll 856 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,160 Speaker 1: let you do the math there. He said, did you 857 00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 1: see your boy Klatt carrying water for Dion by saying 858 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,759 Speaker 1: Colorado could win the Big Twelve this year? As a 859 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:34,080 Speaker 1: matter of fact, I did see Joel Klatt say that 860 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:38,200 Speaker 1: if everything were to go right for Colorado this year 861 00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:42,640 Speaker 1: and a conference is unpredictable, is the Big Twelve, they 862 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:46,799 Speaker 1: could win it. Did he predict it to happen? I 863 00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 1: didn't hear that. Did he say it's likely? I did 864 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,520 Speaker 1: not hear that. He did say it could happen. I'm 865 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:57,279 Speaker 1: not gonna call that carrying water per se, because this 866 00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:00,000 Speaker 1: happens to me all the time. That's not carrying water. 867 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:02,520 Speaker 1: I don't even care if he's rooting for it to happen. 868 00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,680 Speaker 1: He did play quarterback there by the way, I don't 869 00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:06,439 Speaker 1: even care if he's rooting for it to happen. It's 870 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 1: not carrying water to state facts. I'm not carrying water 871 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:11,799 Speaker 1: for the sky because I call it blue. It just is. 872 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,759 Speaker 1: So it's unlikely they're over under win totals five and 873 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,480 Speaker 1: a half to win the Big Twelve. They're at plus 874 00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:22,440 Speaker 1: four thousand odds. Yet it would be noteworthy. I'll grant 875 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:26,960 Speaker 1: you that. But are you ready to show me what 876 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,520 Speaker 1: the hierarchy in the Big Twelve is going to be 877 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 1: if everyone has that conference figured out? So the Dion 878 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:38,040 Speaker 1: tax sucks. Deon Sanders loved the dude to death. He is. 879 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,799 Speaker 1: He is so transcendent. He is such a big name 880 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,920 Speaker 1: that last year we learned about the Dion tax together, 881 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,319 Speaker 1: didn't we We had we had Deon take the job, 882 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,799 Speaker 1: and it stirred all of us up because we're college 883 00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:52,880 Speaker 1: football fans and we watched him in yesteryear. I'm a 884 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,360 Speaker 1: Braves fan. That dude played in the World Series and 885 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,000 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. It's insane. Deon Sanders is an 886 00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:04,480 Speaker 1: athlete just unbelievable as a personality, unbelievable as a TV guy, unbelievable. 887 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:08,400 Speaker 1: And now he's going to be the head coach at Colorado. Unbelievable, 888 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,680 Speaker 1: sold out the spring game. Unbelievable. Just keep using that 889 00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,560 Speaker 1: word over and over again. So a lot of us, 890 00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,319 Speaker 1: I'll just speak for myself. We're in a situation where 891 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,400 Speaker 1: we're looking forward to seeing what Dion and Colorado were 892 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,680 Speaker 1: going to be last year. Here was the problem. They 893 00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,520 Speaker 1: beat TCU in week one? Josh, why is that a problem? 894 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,239 Speaker 1: What's not for Colorado? It was a problem because it 895 00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,799 Speaker 1: got everyone's attention, and then a bunch of folks who 896 00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:33,879 Speaker 1: don't know which way is up in college football could 897 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:38,600 Speaker 1: probably not even tell you Colorado's mascot until Friday of 898 00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:42,759 Speaker 1: the Nebraska game last year. They all come, they all 899 00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:46,239 Speaker 1: gather around, and they start spouting off opinions about Colorado, 900 00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,719 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you get predictions like Colorado 901 00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:52,640 Speaker 1: could make the playoff, Colorado this, shudeor Sanders that. And 902 00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:57,080 Speaker 1: you've got people like me who predicted a modest improvement 903 00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:00,520 Speaker 1: for Colorado in year one and who said, boy, he's 904 00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,960 Speaker 1: still got a lot of work to do. Let's be 905 00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,759 Speaker 1: patient here, let's give him some room to work. And 906 00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,160 Speaker 1: they win in week one, and that's a great story. Okay, 907 00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:09,759 Speaker 1: you got all that and then you have like five 908 00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:14,080 Speaker 1: hundred people fly past you on the interstate and you say, 909 00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,600 Speaker 1: whoa man they're flying And then you get up to 910 00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,439 Speaker 1: the next exit ramp and there they are, and they've 911 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 1: gotten up there, and they start to say all kinds 912 00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:24,640 Speaker 1: of nonsynsical things about Colorado and Dion, thus the Dion 913 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,480 Speaker 1: tax that those of us who know the sport had 914 00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:31,000 Speaker 1: to pay. So in my world, here's what that sounded like. 915 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:34,239 Speaker 1: I go from saying good for Dion Sanders and good 916 00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,279 Speaker 1: for Colorado and it still got a long way to go. 917 00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,799 Speaker 1: I mean, they'll crash back to Earth eventually this year 918 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 1: on the field, but already year one is a win. 919 00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,719 Speaker 1: Go from that to having to say Colorado's not going 920 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,400 Speaker 1: to make the playoff? Are you crazy? Colorado's not going 921 00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,880 Speaker 1: to be close to Oregon? Are you crazy? Well, that 922 00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,560 Speaker 1: sounds like you're hating on Deon Sanders in Colorado. You're not. 923 00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:58,879 Speaker 1: You're stating facts. So I got accused of carrying water 924 00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,200 Speaker 1: for him last year. Then I got accused of Hayton 925 00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,239 Speaker 1: on the dune. And this happened in about the span 926 00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:08,920 Speaker 1: of six days. And so I don't I appreciate Dion. 927 00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,480 Speaker 1: The Dion tax I could do without. In the w 928 00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:15,160 Speaker 1: NBA right now, they're paying the Caitlin Clark tax because 929 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,880 Speaker 1: you got folks talking about the WNBA who could not 930 00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,960 Speaker 1: tell you anything about their league if their life depended 931 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:22,640 Speaker 1: on it. But they got it. They got to take 932 00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:26,720 Speaker 1: right now. And it's nauseating. And I picture people because 933 00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:29,480 Speaker 1: there are people out there who are diehard WNBA fans. 934 00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:32,200 Speaker 1: You got to be drowning in it right now. The 935 00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:35,360 Speaker 1: Caitlyn the CC tax, well we've got that. It's the 936 00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,000 Speaker 1: don tax in college football. We've got it. We dealt 937 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,920 Speaker 1: with it last year. They're overrunder win totals five and 938 00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:42,880 Speaker 1: a half this year. So I'm going to tell you 939 00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,920 Speaker 1: now when none of those folks are paying attention. The 940 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:49,480 Speaker 1: casuals are off doing who knows what they do this 941 00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,439 Speaker 1: time of year. But they'll be back. They'll be back. 942 00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,640 Speaker 1: Dion and Colorado go to Nebraska in week two. They'll 943 00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,879 Speaker 1: be back. But it's Thursday, June sixth. Then I'm telling you, 944 00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,200 Speaker 1: if they go over five and a half, that is 945 00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:07,200 Speaker 1: a phenomenal story. That's a phenomenal first two years. If 946 00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:12,120 Speaker 1: they do that, enrollments are up out there, the financial 947 00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:17,439 Speaker 1: contributions and the financial win fall, the marketing, the free 948 00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,120 Speaker 1: marketing win fall that they've already enjoyed because of him. 949 00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:23,839 Speaker 1: It's already a win on so many levels. If they 950 00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,520 Speaker 1: were to win six games this year, though, and hit 951 00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:31,640 Speaker 1: that over, what would people say if they win six 952 00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:35,239 Speaker 1: I'm telling you that's a phenomenal year. What would people say? 953 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:38,520 Speaker 1: I think you know what they would say? Mainly the 954 00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:40,960 Speaker 1: ones responsible for you paying the Dion tax. I think 955 00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,600 Speaker 1: you know what they would say. So, yeah, it's gonna 956 00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:45,680 Speaker 1: be another one of those years where the conversation is 957 00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,319 Speaker 1: not based in reality. There is no logic. You can 958 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,359 Speaker 1: take your logic and you wad it up and throw 959 00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:52,360 Speaker 1: it out your window. There is no logic in this. 960 00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,160 Speaker 1: And then towards the end of the year there'll be 961 00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,880 Speaker 1: a whole other conversation of well, the shoulder is gone, 962 00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,360 Speaker 1: Deon Sanders going that one's legit, but but I'm not 963 00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,759 Speaker 1: having it right now. But yeah, class's not carrying water 964 00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,480 Speaker 1: for them, or if he is, he is, I don't 965 00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:10,040 Speaker 1: really care. You know. That's this whole other conversation that 966 00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:14,160 Speaker 1: you could have, not even about Joe Klatt, about people 967 00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:19,160 Speaker 1: in general, who talk, people who commentate, take your color 968 00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:21,920 Speaker 1: analysts take your play by play guys, take people who 969 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:27,160 Speaker 1: just have shows like me. There's a fascination with who 970 00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,680 Speaker 1: these people grew up rooting for or where they went 971 00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:34,080 Speaker 1: to school. I've never cared. I could know that the 972 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:37,160 Speaker 1: play by play guy has bias for one team and 973 00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,279 Speaker 1: not care as long as he's doing the job at 974 00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,799 Speaker 1: a high level, I couldn't know. I could have a 975 00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:45,040 Speaker 1: monitor in the booth. Now this would be unprofessional, but 976 00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:46,880 Speaker 1: I'm telling you my feel on it. I could have 977 00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,120 Speaker 1: a monitor in the booth and I could watch herb 978 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,879 Speaker 1: Street fist pump every time Ohio State gets a first down. 979 00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:55,200 Speaker 1: If he calls the game professionally, I wouldn't care. I 980 00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:58,239 Speaker 1: could watch. I could watch Canal fist pump every time 981 00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,319 Speaker 1: FSU gets a first down. If he calls the game professionally, 982 00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,880 Speaker 1: I don't care. I never really care about rooting interest. 983 00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:08,120 Speaker 1: And then we got guys like Gary Danielson at this 984 00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,480 Speaker 1: network who get hated on by everyone because he's got 985 00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:13,720 Speaker 1: the audacity to just speak his mind and not really 986 00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:16,439 Speaker 1: care about the consequences, which to me is the best 987 00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,800 Speaker 1: kind of color analyst because he's not beholden to anything 988 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:23,279 Speaker 1: or anyone, and the best thing about Danielson is everybody 989 00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:26,840 Speaker 1: thinks he's a homer of every team except their team 990 00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,799 Speaker 1: because he's a hater of their team. That probably just 991 00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:31,799 Speaker 1: means you've done your job at a pretty high level. 992 00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:36,160 Speaker 1: That's my opinion. We have got semi breaking news. It's 993 00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:39,920 Speaker 1: in the last six hours or so. It's worth the 994 00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:44,560 Speaker 1: paper pop. FanDuel now has every week zero and week 995 00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:48,440 Speaker 1: one point spread available totals too. Did you hear what 996 00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,920 Speaker 1: I said? Kids? Actually, kids, don't pay attention. I don't 997 00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:55,560 Speaker 1: want you betting yet. Week zero and Week one games 998 00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:57,560 Speaker 1: are up, true enough, all of them are, but the 999 00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,919 Speaker 1: totals are up too, and that's not something you're finding 1000 00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,879 Speaker 1: across the market. Trust me. I checked today. So yeah, 1001 00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,120 Speaker 1: you want Clemson plus thirteen against Georgia, you can get it. 1002 00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:07,839 Speaker 1: But you can also bet that total. And I don't 1003 00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:09,759 Speaker 1: have it in my head, just off the top, but 1004 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,640 Speaker 1: it's there. We've got it. So FanDuel is the exclusive 1005 00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,799 Speaker 1: odds provider of the show, and we appreciate them. And 1006 00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:17,760 Speaker 1: I've got a lot of ideas, including some I've bounced 1007 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,640 Speaker 1: off them just yesterday, that we're working on. But in 1008 00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:24,440 Speaker 1: the meantime, go bet your totals until your little heart 1009 00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,880 Speaker 1: and bank account is content. Be responsible about it. I know, 1010 00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:31,680 Speaker 1: I joke sometimes, be very responsible about it. We are 1011 00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:35,279 Speaker 1: in summer, so it's still far enough away where you're 1012 00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:39,359 Speaker 1: not thinking and betting with emotion yet hopefully know what 1013 00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,359 Speaker 1: you're doing. It's not the easiest economic time out there. 1014 00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,759 Speaker 1: Know what you're doing and know when to take that 1015 00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,160 Speaker 1: phone and just toss it over on your couch. It's 1016 00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,719 Speaker 1: okay to enjoy a Tuesday night Matt game without having 1017 00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,880 Speaker 1: money riding on it. Believe it or not, that's okay. 1018 00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:58,040 Speaker 1: Let's be responsible about this.

What's 1046 00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:37,120 Speaker 1: the temperature of the spin? The wheel spin the wheel 1047 00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:40,480 Speaker 1: LSU fan base. The LSU fan mood tracker is a 1048 00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,160 Speaker 1: little interesting to me, So I would I would classify 1049 00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:46,880 Speaker 1: it as don't embarrass me. If you've ever been a 1050 00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,000 Speaker 1: part of a team, if you've ever been a part 1051 00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,840 Speaker 1: of a group of people doing anything, and like you, 1052 00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:57,400 Speaker 1: you stand up for them, you defend them publicly, and 1053 00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:01,560 Speaker 1: then once you're done touting their ability publicly, you know 1054 00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:03,879 Speaker 1: you secretly still have some doubts about them. So once 1055 00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:05,680 Speaker 1: you get behind closed doors, you look at them and 1056 00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:08,960 Speaker 1: you say, don't embarrass me. Don't embarrass me. You know, 1057 00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:11,640 Speaker 1: if I'm one of your friends and you're about to 1058 00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:14,480 Speaker 1: go race tomorrow and I go talk trash on every 1059 00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:16,800 Speaker 1: street corner about here, you're about to smoke these fools. 1060 00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:19,040 Speaker 1: I may or may not believe it. But if I've 1061 00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,399 Speaker 1: got some doubt, I'm telling you morning of race, don't 1062 00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:24,839 Speaker 1: you embarrass me? I backed you don't embarrass me. Well, 1063 00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,919 Speaker 1: that's LSU fans with Brian Kelly right now. They will 1064 00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:29,920 Speaker 1: defend him right now till the ends of the earth. 1065 00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:31,960 Speaker 1: But it's not that they don't have doubts. It's just 1066 00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:35,719 Speaker 1: that you got to understand the LSU fan base. This 1067 00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,279 Speaker 1: is a very prideful group of people. It's a very 1068 00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,879 Speaker 1: unique part of the country. I love it. I've been 1069 00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:44,520 Speaker 1: accepted in that part of the country. Ever since I 1070 00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:47,680 Speaker 1: did this, I've been accepted by those folks. Love them 1071 00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,640 Speaker 1: to death. They know that. I talk to several of 1072 00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:54,120 Speaker 1: them that I've met through doing this show. And here's 1073 00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:57,120 Speaker 1: the thing I know about LSU folks. There is a 1074 00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:02,239 Speaker 1: chorus they sing publicly that sounds sometimes radically different than 1075 00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:05,960 Speaker 1: the one they see privately when it's just themselves, because 1076 00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:09,440 Speaker 1: the pride of the LSU fan base will not allow 1077 00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:14,799 Speaker 1: them to publicly portray vulnerability, even if it's there, because 1078 00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:16,760 Speaker 1: they're not about to deal with it from Bama folks 1079 00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:19,400 Speaker 1: and Florida folks and A and M folks. They're not 1080 00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,240 Speaker 1: going to listen to it. So they're going straight up 1081 00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:24,840 Speaker 1: shield in the air, United front when they talk about 1082 00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:28,800 Speaker 1: LSU publicly. Now when they're private, they'll let me in 1083 00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:32,640 Speaker 1: the midst occasionally. And I know, I know when they 1084 00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:34,880 Speaker 1: won the SEC West the first year and everyone thought 1085 00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:36,400 Speaker 1: they were off to the races, and then they were 1086 00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:41,280 Speaker 1: historically bad defensively last year. That doesn't accidentally happen. That's 1087 00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:43,600 Speaker 1: not a blip on the radar screen. That's a fundamental 1088 00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:46,760 Speaker 1: problem and it's got to be rectified. You can't ever 1089 00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:51,480 Speaker 1: be that bad at LSU defensively. Have a Heisman Trophy 1090 00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:54,880 Speaker 1: winning quarterback come through and it's totally wasted because we 1091 00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:59,160 Speaker 1: can't get off the field. That's terrible. So it's not 1092 00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:02,560 Speaker 1: that you trash the entire coaching staff. You do take 1093 00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,480 Speaker 1: the defensive staff and totally overhaul it, and they did 1094 00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:07,840 Speaker 1: a wonderful job. There is no defensive staff in college 1095 00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:13,840 Speaker 1: football more upgraded year over year than LSU's. They did 1096 00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,160 Speaker 1: not make the moves they needed to make in the portal. 1097 00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:19,320 Speaker 1: Their defensive line will not be to the standard that 1098 00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:23,680 Speaker 1: LSU normally is. Doesn't mean that's the end all be all. 1099 00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:26,800 Speaker 1: Just means they got to be really, really good and 1100 00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:28,760 Speaker 1: squeezing every ounce of potential out of this team this 1101 00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,160 Speaker 1: year that they can. So you know, you get your 1102 00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,600 Speaker 1: preview magazines coming out right now, and I haven't looked 1103 00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:35,680 Speaker 1: at him yet. I would imagine somewhere like the ten 1104 00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:39,680 Speaker 1: to twenty range is where LSU will be. LSU fans 1105 00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:42,480 Speaker 1: have a certain standard for their program. They should. The 1106 00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:45,560 Speaker 1: last three coaches they've had there have won championships. So 1107 00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,120 Speaker 1: they look at their program and say, if we've got 1108 00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:51,800 Speaker 1: it right, it feels like most anyone within reason can 1109 00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:56,520 Speaker 1: walk in here and win. Accurate. Yes, accurate helps to 1110 00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:59,360 Speaker 1: play the title game in the Superdome, but accurate. So 1111 00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:01,680 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly, Brian Kelly's done it before. Who hadn't won 1112 00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:03,480 Speaker 1: a title, but he's won at a high level before. 1113 00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:07,560 Speaker 1: This should be a perfect match. And I'm not saying 1114 00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:13,040 Speaker 1: it's not. They're not saying it's not. They're defending him publicly, 1115 00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:16,440 Speaker 1: but behind the scenes, if they could talk to Brian Kelly, 1116 00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:18,600 Speaker 1: a lot of those LSU folks will say, do not 1117 00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:24,000 Speaker 1: embarrass us, don't do this. We got your back last year, 1118 00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:27,040 Speaker 1: worried us, rattled us a little bit, but you made 1119 00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:31,200 Speaker 1: the staff moves, got your back. Don't you embarrass us. 1120 00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:34,520 Speaker 1: Why didn't you land more kids out of the portal? 1121 00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:36,600 Speaker 1: You know what? Whatever, Maybe you've got a plan, don't 1122 00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:38,960 Speaker 1: you embarrass us. Can't have it happened two years in 1123 00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:42,040 Speaker 1: a row. Can't have it. And so they open up 1124 00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:45,280 Speaker 1: with USC that's that Sunday night standalone game.
