1
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: Man, welcome in Late Kick is Live. It is Thursday,

2
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: January twelfth, the year of our LAWA twenty twenty three.

3
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: You know, the good thing about going to the Nashville

4
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: Championship game and being around the people you were around

5
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: for that extended period of time is you get a

6
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: lot of intel. You get a lot of information. And

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: trust me when I tell you, there is more going

8
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 1: on behind the scenes in this sport right now than

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: you could possibly imagine. A lot of it, scratch that.

10
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: Some of that we're going to talk about on the

11
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: show tonight. A lot of that we're going to be

12
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: having the freedom eventually to talk about over the next

13
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: few months. There is no off season. There is not

14
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: do not go away just because they tell you the

15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: season ended Monday night. We're jam packed. We were high

16
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: a top a buzzing downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Why is downtown Nashville,

17
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: Tennessee buzzing? Well? Number one, storm's already moved through number two.

18
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: Everybody's in their eye, whatever their names are, and seeing

19
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: all this breaking news all across college football. We're gonna

20
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: talk about it all tonight. Dabbo's making new hires. We've

21
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: got updates on the Jim Harbaughugh Front with Michigan, we've

22
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: got a ton of nil drama unnecessarily, but drama nonetheless.

23
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: Down in Gainesville. I'm gonna ask you what is a dynasty.

24
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: Some people are telling me they've got one at Georgia.

25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: I don't even know what one is yet, but we're

26
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: gonna figure that out together tonight. All that, plus, do

27
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 1: you remember a few years ago when people told you

28
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: parody is dead. Put it on the gravestone. Fill in

29
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: the blanks there from what date to what date? But

30
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: it's it's gone. No more parody in the sport. A

31
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: lot of parody around here, all of a sudden, a

32
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: lot of oxygen in Tier one of college football. All

33
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden, we are so loaded. They're watching us

34
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Greenville, South Carolina, Menmony Falls, Wisconsin.

35
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: I have to say those very slowly. And Rainsville, Alabama.

36
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: No off season mode is fully engaged. Now, for those

37
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: of you who are new around here, we don't even

38
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: use the term. So when you hear me whisper it,

39
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: it's not an audio malfunction. It's just that it's kind

40
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: of like profanity around here. We just add the word

41
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 1: off season to the other list of words. You cannot say,

42
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: We're not going anywhere. And trust me when I tell you,

43
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: August gets here a lot quicker. If you just never

44
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: stop doing shows, We're not gonna stop. So stick with

45
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: us and subscribe while you're here. Let's get into the

46
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: show tonight. We're going so many different directions. Like I said,

47
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of breaking news. I've got Jesse

48
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: and Bradley in here, just perusing Twitter and checking sourcing,

49
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: making sure we don't miss something while we're live, because

50
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: given the way the day is going, there's a half

51
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: decent chance we may. So let's dive in question what

52
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: is a dynasty? And then after you answer that to yourself,

53
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: answer me, this is Georgia a dynasty that they have

54
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: one right now. I heard that word being thrown around

55
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: pretty flippantly this week. That's not fippal. I guess people

56
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: thought it through. I just question what a dynasty is,

57
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,399
Speaker 1: and I look at what's happening at Georgia right now.

58
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: There's no one in the world more impressed by this

59
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: than myself. However, the word dynasty did not immediately come

60
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: to my mind when we were doing postgame coverage there

61
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: on the field in Inglewood. Yeah, that's where we were

62
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: Monday night. I think it's an extremely dominant stretch. I've

63
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: always thought of the word dynasty, apparently a little bit

64
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: different than other people do. So I felt it necessary,

65
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: because I keep having this throne at me, to dive

66
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: into this for just a second tonight. I am not

67
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: there is the reason, and I think I'm in the minority.

68
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: I think I am. We're gonna find out if I

69
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: am as the show goes on and the comment section proliferates.

70
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: Here's the way I've always thought about this. If everything

71
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: were to stop for you today, So let's say Georgia

72
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: never even makes a Bowl game again and they fire

73
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: Kirby three years from now. Extremely likely, obviously, but let's

74
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: say it would just all come crashing to a halt

75
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: and this was the end of his success at Georgia.

76
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: If we fast forward twenty years from now, would you

77
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: look back and talk about a Georgia dynasty or would

78
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: you look back and say they won a couple of

79
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: titles in the early twenty twenties, and that's how you

80
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: talk about Georgia. Because I think the latter is true.

81
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the former. I think if it

82
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: were to all stop now, it's a great run. But

83
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: that's what I think people would look at it as

84
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: a run that got capped in the latter stages with

85
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: a couple of championships. I don't think they would call

86
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: it a dynasty. So anyway, I'm not saying they're not

87
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: well on their way to one. I just that's where

88
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: my mind is. I don't think that they're in dynasty

89
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: territory yet, only because it should be extremely rare or

90
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: rarefied air. I guess, and I asked Jesse, hey, what

91
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: do you think a dynasty is? When you're putting your

92
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: graphics package together today, what do you think, Well, we've

93
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: had several teams win back to back championships. If you're

94
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: not watching on YouTube, you just saw a list of them.

95
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: So several programs have won back to back titles. I

96
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: don't think that we would have looked up and down

97
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: that list and said, all right, every one of those

98
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: is a dynasty. So then obviously it takes more than

99
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: just winning back to back titles, which is already in

100
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: and of itself extremely difficult. Then what do we need?

101
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: You would probably argue, well, even if you're winning back

102
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: to back titles, it also needs to be contained within

103
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: an extended run of success. Now that they've had that

104
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: they have had, And if that's your only definition, an

105
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: extended run of pretty good success and then winning a

106
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: couple of titles, which is fair, then I would get it.

107
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: By the way, Jesse, do we have those two tweets.

108
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: You're looking at Kirby. You're looking at what he's done

109
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: right now since twenty seventeen, with the exception of the

110
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: COVID year, which is thrown out for obvious reasons, it's

111
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: a double digit win or better season every year. The

112
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: one thing that had been sort of the albatross around

113
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: their ankle, so to speak, was well, they're zero to

114
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: four against Nick Saban. Well, then they beat Alabama in

115
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: the title game last year. They didn't play them this year.

116
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to come back to that in just a second.

117
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 1: So we had a couple well, actually we had several

118
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: hundred tweets in response to this today, but I wanted

119
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: to show a couple of them. These were some of

120
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: your takes. Bobby said, Dynasty equals three national championships in

121
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: a five year span. I don't necessarily think I would

122
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: make it that lofty, and I'm sitting here telling you

123
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: I think it needs to be really lofty because the

124
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: USC didn't do that. And when I think of USC briefly,

125
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: I think of a little maybe a mini dynasty, somewhere

126
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: between an impressive run and a dynasty. They didn't do that.

127
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: The whole three championships thing. I don't think you need to,

128
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: at least in my mind, hit a certain number of championships.

129
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: Like the College Football Hall of Fame. You gotta be

130
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: a sixty percent winner if you're a head coach. I'm

131
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: not quite there. Another one here, a period of sustained

132
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 1: success that spans more than one iteration of a core team.

133
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: That is an interesting concept. That means, basically, you can't

134
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: just have one complete all star squad that you recruit

135
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: and you develop and then they win you multiple titles.

136
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: But outside of that, you never really did anything. Because

137
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: that's a great team, but that's not a dynasty. That

138
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: was an interesting way to phrase that. Here's the interesting part.

139
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: There was not a core group that just did this.

140
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: For Georgia, you're hearing a lot about Stetson Bennett because

141
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: he was the starting quarterback eventually on these last two teams,

142
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: the two teams that won championships. And if that's the

143
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: way you remember these teams, that's totally fair and that's understandable.

144
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: But I remember April, I remember the NFL Draft. I

145
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: remember fifteen guys leaving last year's team that didn't play

146
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: a down this year. So core group, I mean, where

147
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: do we draw the line. There are a certain number

148
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: of players you have to retain from one team to

149
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: another team. So as you can see, this is very subjective,

150
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: it's very arbitrary. Here's where my head's at on this.

151
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: It really comes down to how I remember you, which

152
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: is kind of unfair, you know, because Georgia's accomplished what

153
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: many would say already in this last few years stretch

154
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: what USC under Pete Carroll accomplished. And in some ways

155
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: I understand that two championships to two championships, several really

156
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: really good seasons. You go back to that USC run. Now,

157
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: granted that's in my sort of childhood, adolescens, middle school,

158
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: high school era, so I'm watching that and it's having

159
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: a very very big impact on me. So obviously I

160
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: romanticize the USC teams and I remember them a little

161
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: bit differently, but they had seven straight eleven plus win

162
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: seasons under Pete Carroll. At one point they had four

163
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: Rose Bowl wins, two Orange Bowl wins, they had two

164
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: national championships. They played that classic game against Texas and

165
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: five where it's it's coin flip and that's the way

166
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: that game came down. Oh. I miss Keith Jackson so much,

167
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: but that's the way that game ended. And I remember

168
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: that as a dynasty. Let it win three titles. Am

169
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: I supposed to exclude them because of that? I don't know.

170
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: I remember them as a dynasty. I remember Miami as

171
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: a dynasty. So there was this other school of thought

172
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: out there that you have to have a sustained run

173
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: and you can't have any down year, you can't have

174
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: a dud season in there. Well, here's the thing with

175
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: Miami in the in the eighty three to ninety one

176
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: time frame, they had three different coaches. You're on the

177
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: tail end of Snellenberger. Then you have Jimmy Johnson come in,

178
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: and then you have Dennis Rickson come in and Jesse.

179
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: I think we were looking earlier today. The first year

180
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: under Jimmy Johnson, I think they were like an eight

181
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: win team, which is not Dynasty material. I then made

182
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: the executive decision, at least on our little grease board

183
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: in the office, we're going to allow you to have

184
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: one down season, especially if you're transitioning coaches, and you're

185
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: not transitioning most of the time cause they're being fired.

186
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: Like Jimmy Johnson, he goes on to the NFL. It's

187
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: not because he flamed out or anything like that. So

188
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 1: I don't know, obviously subjective, but Georgia, if they're not there,

189
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: well on their way. I asked producer Jesse, obviously, do

190
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: you think they're in dynasty mode yet? He said, I

191
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: don't think they're quite there yet, but they're close. And

192
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: I asked Jesse, how do you know when they're gonna

193
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 1: be there? And he said, actually, I got up and

194
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: I went and got something to drink, and when I

195
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: came back in, he had those wide saucer that producer

196
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: Jesse only has when he has come up with a

197
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: really good metaphor the fuel on which this show operates,

198
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: in other words, and he said, you know what Georgia is.

199
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: Georgia is the bank robber. Follow me here. Georgia is

200
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: the bank robber. Who made it past security. They got

201
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: in the bank. They successfully subdued everyone. They got to

202
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: the register, they had the teller open it up. Didn't

203
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: have to get violent. Actually Georgia got extremely violent Monday night.

204
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: But you get where I'm going with this. They got

205
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: all the cash in a sack. They're on their way out.

206
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: But there's one final layer of security, cause you know,

207
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: good and well, that guy at the front door is

208
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: called reinforcements. They got to get past that last line.

209
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: Jesse says. They're almost there. Jesse says, they're very close.

210
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: They can see it. They can see the light on

211
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 1: the other side of the door. And so I said,

212
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: that's wonderful, Jesse. You gotta land it for me. Okay,

213
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 1: you got the wings on the metaphor, where's the landing gear?

214
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: He said, Well, they got to beat Nick Saban again.

215
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: That's what they have to do. They were zero and

216
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: four against him. Now they're one and four and a

217
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions fan being the case, he said, if they

218
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: don't lose JMO last year, Georgia doesn't beat Alabama his words,

219
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: not mine, So at him, don't at me. And I said,

220
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: that's fair. That's fair because because you know, Jesse's of

221
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: the Rick Flair school of thought. To be the man,

222
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: you got to beat the man, I guess multiple times.

223
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: So Georgia teetering on the precipice of dynasty territory. If

224
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: they win next year, if if they win a third straight,

225
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: well really even now it doesn't matter, but then especially

226
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: it wouldn't matter regardless of what people say. So I

227
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: will be more than a bit interested to see what

228
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: the comments section says about this. We had a good

229
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: day with Academy Sports and Outdoors. Every day's a good

230
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: day with Academy Sports and Outdoors. What am I talking about?

231
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 1: But had some good conversations with them, just kind of

232
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: mapping out our twenty twenty three, So that news is

233
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: down the road a little ways fortunately for you. In

234
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: the meantime, all their stores are open, they're ready for business.

235
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: I very thoroughly enjoyed you guys sending me pictures of

236
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: being in the Academy Sports and Outdoors around Christmas time

237
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: and looking at the long lines. That's a blessing. That's

238
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: not a bad thing. That's a good thing. And those

239
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: of you who couldn't stand to stand in line, you

240
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: just went to Academy dot com. I tell you every time,

241
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: but I always know that we have several thousand new

242
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: listeners or viewers any given show. And so for the

243
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 1: first time, you may be hearing me talk about Academy.

244
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: Why are they on these big, bright blue monitors behind me.

245
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: Why am I randomly talking about them twelve minutes into

246
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: the show. Well, they are presenting sponsor, and they're the

247
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: only sponsor you see on the show, and you're watching

248
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: the show free, and it's all because they stepped up

249
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: about this time last year in a maximum capacity to

250
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: be the presenting sponsor for this show. And if you're new,

251
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: you probably don't know this. I mean, once upon a time,

252
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: we were doing this show on an iPhone and what

253
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: essentially equates to a broom closet down in Columbus, Georgia

254
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: at WLTZ, which has since become a defunct station. Great

255
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 1: memories though, but it was the number three station in

256
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: the number one twenty four market. So we were a

257
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: little bit off the radar, to say the least. And

258
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: just a few years later to know that we have

259
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: a brand like Academy that has our backs and a

260
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: company like CBS and twenty four to seven that have

261
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: our backs. It means a lot, especially when you're like

262
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: us and you've been without those sorts of resources. So

263
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: in exchange, I just humbly ask if you've got some

264
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: purchases to make, if you've got some outdoor sporting goods

265
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: type products to buy, Academy Sports and Outdoors is the place,

266
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: and if there's not one near you, Academy dot Com

267
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: is the place to go. I've got good news for

268
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: everyone tonight, Colin, that's actually a good end point. I'm

269
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: gonna say it again for you, Okay, I got good

270
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: news for everyone today tonight. Whenever you may be watching

271
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: college football is wide open. Used to be that we

272
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: were on a quest for parody in this sport. I

273
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: say that mockingly because we never participated in this nonsense

274
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: per se, But there was a fair amount of talk

275
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: out there that paroity was dead. You're never if you're

276
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: not already in the exclusive Tier one club, you're never

277
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: gonna get there. Do you remember this? Not too long ago,

278
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: it would have been the mid to latter portion of

279
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 1: the twenty teams. If you're not Alabama, you're not Clemson,

280
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: you're not Ohio State, if you're not one of the

281
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: select few that have just detached themselves and they're just

282
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: pulling away from the rest of the sport. If you're

283
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: not in that club, you're never going to be in

284
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: that club. The quest for parody, the quest that never was,

285
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: never should have been, never needed to be. We'll never

286
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: see a G five team in the playoff. We'll never

287
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: see a Cinderella team make the playoff. It's just the

288
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: same four teams every year. None of that was ever true.

289
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: By the way, now, since he has already disproven that

290
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: TCU just played for a national championship, they've disproven that.

291
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: We are now like nine years into the playoff. There's

292
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: only been one year, one year where we had no

293
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: new participants in the playoff field. There have been zero,

294
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: oh zero count them. Doesn't take long. Zero years where

295
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: the same four teams have made the playoff twice. It's

296
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: never happened. Yet they were telling you what was happening

297
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: every day. So why am I saying these things to you? Well,

298
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: because for a while, even I had to admit there

299
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: wasn't a whole lot of oxygen in the Tier one room.

300
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: The Tier one room just means the room where the

301
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: favorites hang out. Your Bamas, your Clemsons, etc. Back in

302
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: the twenty teams, that's where they were hanging out. They

303
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: played four years in a row at one point. So yeah,

304
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: there wasn't a whole lot of oxygen there. It did

305
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: not feel when we were entering those seasons like many

306
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: teams out there had a shot to win a championship.

307
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: And it may still feel that way to you even

308
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: entering these seasons the past couple of years. But the

309
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: thing about it is these seasons have not remotely played

310
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: out the way most people thought. If you could go

311
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: find me someone who accurately predicted the playoff field the

312
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: last two years, either of them, I don't care pick

313
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: one jalice of supremacy coming their way. I don't know

314
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: any TCU fans that predicted themselves to go to the playoff,

315
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: much less get in the other three spots. Right, So,

316
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: nobody has a stranglehold on any conference. It's what I'm

317
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: trying to tell you. Think this through with me for

318
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: just a second. There are favorites preseason, obviously, there are

319
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: hierarchies in these conferences, obviously, But you want parody answer

320
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: me this question, who's got a stranglehold on a conference?

321
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: Right now. The only two repeat conference champs we just

322
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: had were Utah and Michigan. Not even Georgia was a

323
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: repeat conference champ. They've got back to back national titles

324
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: and don't even have back to back SEC titles. Michigan

325
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: and Utah are the only consecutive conference champs in America

326
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: right now at the Power five level. Neither one of

327
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: them would be considered an elite recruiter, neither one of

328
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: them will be the odds on favorite going into this

329
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: following season in their own conferences, and neither one of

330
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: them have won a playoff game. There is no one

331
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: outside of the University of Georgia playing dominant, extended dominant

332
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: football right now. I mean the kind that makes you

333
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: completely lose hope, the way that it looked in Tuscaloos

334
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: in Clemson for a little while. And so then I

335
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: get to look ahead a little bit, because we did

336
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: just have the national championship game the other night, I

337
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: do get to look ahead to twenty twenty three. As

338
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: people start talking about parody inevitably, and I ask anyone

339
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: who claims there is not parody, give me your slam

340
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: dunk college football playoff team this upcoming year. The kind

341
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: of team that you'd be willing to bet an uncomfortable

342
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: amount of money on making the field. Outside of Georgia,

343
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: which is partially due to schedule, I don't see one.

344
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: I don't say that disrespectfully to Georgia. George is gonna

345
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: have a really good team this upcoming year. I'm just saying,

346
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: if you look at this schedule for Georgia, it's an abomination.

347
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: Not really their fault. The conference took away a game

348
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: against Oklahoma. Yeah, let me say that again. Georgia had

349
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: Oklahoma on the schedule. Georgia does not have Oklahoma on

350
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: the schedule. Now. They got ut Martin Ball State, UAB,

351
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech, the fourth out of conference game, Florida's neutral site,

352
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: as it is every year they go to Tennessee. They

353
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: got Ole Miss and at Tennessee. That's a two game

354
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: stretch in November. So if you want to look at

355
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 1: Georgia and say, I don't even care whether they're a

356
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: shell of themselves from this year to next year, I

357
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,959
Speaker 1: still think they're gonna make the playoff based on that schedule. Okay,

358
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: I'll even grant you that. What about the other three

359
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: spots you got any more? Slam dunks for me, I

360
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: don't think George is a slam dunk. I would bet

361
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: on them, but I don't think they're a slam dunk.

362
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: But even if they are, is Bama slam dunk? Do

363
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: you even know who the coordinators are gonna be? Do

364
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: you know the quarterback is going to be? No? You

365
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: do not? Ohio State Dittoh slam dunk? Are they even

366
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: gonna beat Michigan out in the Pac twelve? Is Utah

367
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 1: going to run it back? If they do, they're going

368
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: to have to defy odds. And even this past season

369
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: they lost several games along the way. USC has not

370
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: shown the slightest inclination to make me believe they can

371
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: be concert enough defensively to be feared. Yet Oregon's still

372
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: putting it together. Washington year one to year two. Love

373
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 1: what they have, But where am I supposed to have

374
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: fear struck in my heart in these conferences? Same thing

375
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: can be said for the Big twelve Texas and know

376
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: you have not gotten their act together to the point

377
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: where it sucks any of the oxygen out of the

378
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: conference room. There in the acc Clemson made some moves today.

379
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about that later in the show.

380
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: But Clemson's been wobbly. There's a lot of hope reinserted

381
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: into the picture there, just like there may be at Alabama.

382
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: My point is, it doesn't feel so helpless anymore, does it.

383
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: And while you just watched TCU do what they did

384
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: this past season, while you watch Cincinnati and Michigan do

385
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: what they did last season, and Michigan did it twice,

386
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: I would suggest to you we're still in a window.

387
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: I don't know how long this window's gonna last, but

388
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 1: we're still smack dab in the middle of a window

389
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: that is ripe for playoff surprises. And this time last year,

390
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: we did a fun little exercise early today where you know,

391
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: we were kind of looking at who may be in

392
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: the playoff that comes out of nowhere. Well, this this

393
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: upcoming season, you could just have random out of nowhere teams.

394
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: You could have like Washington make the playoff. You could

395
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: have Texas A and m grant. You would be a

396
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: monumental turnaround in one season. But they've got the raw

397
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: talent there. That's a prerequisite. You're gonna have to have players. Now,

398
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: they may be a six win team again for all

399
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: I know, But I'm saying we're in an environment that

400
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: is that is very right for this to happen Florida State.

401
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: It wouldn't come out of nowhere for people who have

402
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: been paying attention, But I think to the national casual public,

403
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: Florida State would appear to come out of nowhere. The

404
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three ACC title odds. By the way, I

405
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: did not know this until just now when it popped

406
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: on the screen. I had not checked this CFP odds

407
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty three. Okay, well, I'm just gonna assume

408
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: that the ACC odds look kind of similar to this.

409
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: Clemson and Florida State have the same playoff odds. Stats

410
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: and Info has broken news to me. I did not

411
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: know this. Plus eighteen hundred those are college football playoff

412
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: title odds from Caesars right now when it comes to

413
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: ACC teams, and for the record, no one else is close.

414
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: There's a lot of there's a lot of ground to

415
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: be gained right now pretty rapidly. Whereas once upon a

416
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: time not too long ago, it looked like it was

417
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: a lost cause. It was never a lost cause because

418
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: the sport never stands still and just lets a couple

419
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: of programs pull off in the distance. Everyone's fighting to

420
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: beat them. You got you got the crosshairs on your forehead.

421
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: And everyone is meeting in the spring and summer, and

422
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: everyone's scheming, and everyone's recruiting, and everyone's making staff changes,

423
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: and they're all coming after you. And there's some pretty

424
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: good minds out there working on such things. It's like

425
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: watching the figure skater and they twirl. I trust me,

426
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know all the terminology here,

427
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: but it's really hard to spend as fast as they

428
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 1: do for as long as they do, because just just

429
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: the slightest little imperfection and then the ice, just the

430
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: slightest little lack of an elbow tuck, it spells disaster.

431
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: And when you're operating at an extremely high level in sports,

432
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,959
Speaker 1: it's not feet, it's not yards, it's just micro issues

433
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: that could spell the difference between you running off a

434
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: string like Georgia's in the middle of right now and

435
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: doing what LSU did in one year and then completely crumbling.

436
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: It's that easy, and therefore on the other side, it's

437
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: that hard hard to harball. That's what I want to

438
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 1: talk about next. And let me just make sure of

439
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: one thing here, because I don't want Okay, no, I

440
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: had it wrong. I know what you're about to yell

441
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: at me about in there also, yeah, well sometimes I

442
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: go in the wrong order and then Colin has to

443
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: catch up. But luckily new Year knew me. I caught

444
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: it ahead of time. We have some drama in Gainesville,

445
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: Florida that I need to talk to you about. It's

446
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: Nil related. It is related to quarterback Jade and Rashata.

447
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: Those of you who follow recruiting know that he was

448
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 1: committed to Miami, then he decommitted from Miami, then he

449
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: committed to Florida, and then signing day happened. And you

450
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: probably if you didn't follow it past, then just think

451
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: he's enrolled at Florida and he's about to challenge for

452
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: the starting job and spring and hold on just a second,

453
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: because none of that has happened. None of it has

454
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: panned out. He has not enrolled there because it's still

455
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: up in the air. A lot of folks angry about this,

456
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: and you know what, if you're a Florida fan, you

457
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: should be angry. I just want to make sure you're

458
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: angry at the right folks. So this is what Memel

459
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: would call a classic Nil conundrum. She saw many of

460
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: them in her day. As this has started to unfold,

461
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: and it really kind of became a story while we

462
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: were out in LA for the title game, so it

463
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: wasn't on the front burner, but I had one eye

464
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,479
Speaker 1: on it. It was kind of on the back burner. And

465
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 1: it's bubbled and bubbled and bubbled and knots on the surface,

466
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: and everyone's talking about it. I've seen a lot of

467
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: reactions to this. Okay, I've told you what the facts

468
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: are so far. Jade and Rashada, he was committed to Florida.

469
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: He is not signed and therefore enrolled there quite yet.

470
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 1: They have very very rapidly got a drop dead date

471
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: coming up Friday. I've been told the school could probably

472
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: fudge it to the next Monday, but either way, that's

473
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: either twenty four or forty eight seventy two ninety six

474
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: hours away. They got to get a resolution really quick.

475
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: And as you could imagine, yes, this is absolutely related

476
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: to Nil. Stop for just a second. For those of

477
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: you who are sort of agnostic, you're not big Florida fans.

478
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: You haven't followed the day to day, minute to minute here.

479
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: You may have already suspected that, right. It's a big

480
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: time quarterback prospect. He flipped in his recruitment. And so you,

481
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:49,959
Speaker 1: if you didn't know any better, you may look at

482
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: this and you may say, oh, great, I knew it.

483
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: I had a bunch of people say that over the

484
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: past few days to me, Oh, I knew it. These

485
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: nil kids priority out of whack. I knew it. Well,

486
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 1: what did you know? Is what my response has been.

487
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: I kind of know the details on this. I've got

488
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: someone really close to this situation. As a result, I'm

489
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: going to keep my mouth shut on a lot of

490
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: this story, and I will tell you the whole story

491
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 1: once we have finality one way or the other. A

492
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: lot of the reporting out there has been just blatantly

493
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: falsified on this, but there are places you can go

494
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: where they've got it pretty well nailed down. I think

495
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: our folks over at Swamp twenty four to seven are

496
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 1: doing a great job on this, and I'm not biased

497
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: at all, obviously, aside from working for the same company

498
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: they do here. Look at that the Marriott pen wag

499
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 1: that could be a thing in twenty twenty three. This

500
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: hitting on Jade and Rashada, for the record, is not

501
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: on BILLI napier either. So yes, it is an il

502
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: related and yes there is money that's at the forefront

503
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: of this. It's just not necessarily the way you think. See,

504
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: if you didn't know any better, you may think all

505
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 1: this kid's holding the school hostage. He decided at the

506
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: eleventh hour great grandmother wanted a new bedroom added onto

507
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: her house. No, that's not what's going on. But what

508
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 1: is going on is there is some discrepancy here financially.

509
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: I can tell you that. I know that's rumored. I'll

510
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: tell you yeah, it's true. But I want to ask

511
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: you this. For anyone who says this is a selfish kid,

512
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,479
Speaker 1: shame on this kid focused on all the wrong things.

513
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 1: If if I hired you to paint my house and

514
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: we agreed upon a price, and then all of a

515
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: sudden the money didn't arrive and you got upset, are

516
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: you selfish or is your head in the wrong place,

517
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: Because that's pretty much what's happened here. There was an

518
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: agreed upon arrangement and when it came time for that

519
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: direct deposit to hit, it didn't hit. And all of

520
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: a sudden, one party in that two party agreement says, well, wait,

521
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: a second. If you're not fulfilling you're into this deal,

522
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: why in the world am I going to go down

523
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: there and enroll? And it's not that he's looking for

524
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: a way out, quite the opposite. That kid wants to

525
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: be a Florida Gator. His family wants him to be

526
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,239
Speaker 1: a Florilorida Gator. The Florida Gators have to do what

527
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: the Florida Gators promised to do. And so I want

528
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: to take you back now to June, because there's a

529
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: lot of anger around this. If you're a Florida fan,

530
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: you're looking at what you hoped would be the future

531
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback for your program. If you're a Miami fan,

532
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: you love it. If you're a Florida State fan or

533
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: a Georgia fan, you love it. But if you're a

534
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: Florida fan, you're just angry right now. Some folks have

535
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: been angry at Billy Napier today. You shouldn't be. Some

536
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: folks have been angry at Jaden Rashada. He's not doing

537
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: anything you and I wouldn't do if we were in

538
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 1: the same position. You shouldn't be mad at him. I

539
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: took a ton of heat back in June because I

540
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: went on air and I said Florida is not good

541
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: enough where they need to be infrastructure wise, nil wise,

542
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: support wise. It's hard enough to win in this league

543
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: and in this sport when you do have support. It's

544
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 1: going to be impossible to compete heads up with head

545
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: coaches who do have the support when you don't have

546
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: the support. And I'm going to play the sound for

547
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: you in just a second, but I say it, and

548
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm about to play it for you. And I took

549
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: a good amount of heat when I said this play

550
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: at colin. This is major college football. He knows it.

551
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: You know what. Everyone knows it. You can evaluate all

552
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: you want to, you can develop all you want to.

553
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: It is a talent acquisition business. And if you're not

554
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: putting your coaching staff in the best position to go

555
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: out and acquire talent, then you can either do one

556
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: of two things. You can either recalibrate your expectation level

557
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: and lower it and say, good, solid seven win season,

558
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: that's what we want, Billy, Or you can give him

559
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: the resources he needs to go out and compete. And

560
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: right now, he's never going to come out publicly and

561
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: say it. I don't think he's operating on a level

562
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: playing field with some of the other staff you're asking

563
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: him to compete against. I don't think he's operating on

564
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: a level playing field as Georgia. I don't think he's

565
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: operating on a level playing field as Miami. And that's

566
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: got to change or else you better get comfortable finishing

567
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: second and third and watching a lot of these recruiting

568
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: battles turn at the last minute. You know how frustrating

569
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: that is. Now, if you're a fan, you know how

570
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: frustrating it is. Imagine being that guy right there. Imagine

571
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: having your face attached to all this Florida recruiting really

572
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: picked up in the days and weeks following that sound

573
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: by which led me to believe the situation had been rectified.

574
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: It led me to believe the proper parties had gotten

575
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: their collective act in gear and we were good. We

576
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: were good to go, And I said as much. I

577
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: followed up with that a few times on this show

578
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: I talked to It felt like a million Florida fans.

579
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,719
Speaker 1: I talked to a lot of Florida fans. They said, Hey,

580
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: what do you think now? What do you say now? Well,

581
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: I say that I'm glad you appear to have rectified

582
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: the situation. Well did they? Did they rectify the situation

583
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: or did they do what? You see a lot when

584
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: it comes to pledging versus spending. See, pledging money is

585
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: not spending money. Pledging money is what you do when

586
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: you get really excited at one point thirty in the

587
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: morning and you're watching an infomercial or a telethon. That's

588
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: different than spending the money. And it almost feel to

589
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: me like a lot of people understood, uh, oh, we're

590
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: a little behind the eight ball here, we need to

591
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: pledge money. And then what does the Florida coaching staff do. Well,

592
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: they look at pledged money and they say, well, we

593
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: can use this. Of course, this is not how it

594
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: really happens in college football, but in reality they say, well,

595
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: we can use this then, or at the very least,

596
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: the collective said we could use this and we could

597
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: go after players like Jade and Rashada and we could

598
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: guarantee him this kind of money. Problem is pledges did

599
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: not become actual donations, and I don't know that they've

600
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: got the money that's necessary to pay the kid. I

601
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: don't know that they have that, and as a result,

602
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: the kids doing exactly what you and I would do

603
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: if we were in his position, anyone would do that.

604
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: You've been you've been promised something in written form, mind you,

605
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: and they can't deliver. Well, what in the world's he

606
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: supposed to do? That's not selfish, that's common sense. And

607
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: I go right back to what we were talking about in June.

608
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: Billy Napier has a big enough struggle. He's got a

609
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,959
Speaker 1: big enough task in front of him just competing as

610
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: a head coach. Like there were several inadequacies on the

611
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: field this past year that have nothing to do with nil. Okay,

612
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: so that's already a huge, huge part of the equation.

613
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: But if you don't take care of things on the

614
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: other end, if he's not backed up, if that coaching

615
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: staff is not equipped financially the same way that other

616
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: coaching staffs are when they're recruiting, If your collective is

617
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: not competitive with the programs that you're trying to compete against,

618
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: well you're not going to compete against those programs. So,

619
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: like I said in the video, and like I'll reiterate,

620
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: you can either do one of two things. You can

621
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: either recalibrate your expectations and decide you're going to be

622
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: a mid tier program, or you can step up. And

623
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: the thing that's been told to me by some folks

624
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: around Florida is we just flat out have some deep

625
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: pocketed boosters, if you want to call them that. But

626
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: we got some folks around the Florida program who apparently

627
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: think it's just a little bit beneath them to be

628
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: going out and buy employers. And if that's the way

629
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: you think, it's your money. I'm not here to tell

630
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: you how you should spend your money unless you're telling

631
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: me you want a top level football program, in which

632
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: case I am telling you you've got to spend money.

633
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: You gotta buy football players. That's what you have to do. Now.

634
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: If your pushback is oh, just I don't like the

635
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: sound of that, I ask you, were you not always

636
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: buying football players. I don't mean in the illegal manner even,

637
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: I don't mean in the one hundred dollars handshake manner.

638
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: I don't mean in dropping bags anonymously. I mean when

639
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: you used to write those checks for facility enhancements and upgrades.

640
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: What did you think you were signing that check for?

641
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: Did you really care about how pretty that building was,

642
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: or did you think it was going to be more

643
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: attractive to prospective student athletes who would then commit to

644
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: Florida and play for your team. You were buying the player.

645
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: It's just now the transaction is more direct. It's the

646
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: same thing. In other words, if that collective really wants

647
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: to get things in gear, just tell them we're gonna

648
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: earmark this for upgrades to the program, and that can

649
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: translate to transactions with kids. But who in the world

650
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: that used to write checks for those sorts of things

651
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: is all of a sudden turning their nose up at

652
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: writing the same kind of check just to directly go

653
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: to a player. Again, it's your money, it's your money.

654
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: You worked hard for it, I would guess. But you

655
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: got to make a decision because they're making those decisions

656
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: that other programs they are, and they've decided it's not

657
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: beneath them to go and assist in the paying of players.

658
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: So I don't think it's a difficult decision, but it

659
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: sounds like it may be more difficult than I once

660
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: thought it would be. This has got to be straightened out.

661
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: This is a disaster. If they lose him, they got

662
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: to hold on to him, and then they've not just

663
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: got to hold onto him. But they've got to reach

664
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: some decisions down there operationally about how they're gonna run

665
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: their program. That's really what's got to happen. And if

666
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen, billiy Napier is wasting his time

667
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: down there. You can doubt all you want to whether

668
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: he's going to be a quality coach. I'm telling you,

669
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: if they don't have this apparatus in gear, it won't

670
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: matter what kind of coach he is won't matter. So

671
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: you know what you expect him to do and what

672
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: you're asking him to do, back him up, Do what

673
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: you have to do to back him up. And then

674
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: if he fails, he fails. But if that guy fails

675
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: because you're skimping on what it takes to land top

676
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: tier athletes, he's not going to be the one I'm

677
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: blaming when you fire him two years from now, Well,

678
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: he won't be the only one I'm blaming now. I

679
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: go back to the rundown here, and it is time

680
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,720
Speaker 1: to talk about this. Jim Harbaugh, as of seven thirty

681
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: fourth Central Time on Thursday, January twelfth, is still the

682
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: head coach at Michigan. How much longer, maybe, several years.

683
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: Sounds like there's a little bit more ground swell of

684
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: momentum around Jim Harbaugh staying at Michigan, but this is

685
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: not resolved. I don't know that it's going to be

686
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: resolved until you know, maybe the NFL playoffs conclude. We've

687
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: seen a lot of smoke around the Denver Bronco job.

688
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: Rumor on the street reportedly is that he interviewed for

689
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: the job electronically, not in person, but electronically. But we

690
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: have a tweet to show you. There is a new

691
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: president at Michigan and there's been a lot of consternation

692
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: up there. Rarely do I use that word. There's been

693
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: a lot of discussion about how much the administration is

694
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: or isn't backing up Jim Harbaugh. Well President OO tweeted

695
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: this out today. I'm pleased to share that I have

696
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: been having very positive and constructive conversations with our athletic

697
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: director and football coach. His name's Jim, By the way,

698
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: new president. He may not know that he continues ward manual.

699
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: That's the AD and I both want to see Jim

700
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: Harbaugh stay. He does know his name stay as the

701
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: head coach at the University of Michigan, do you I

702
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 1: take him at his word. President Oo and I have

703
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: not had extended conversations on this, but I take him

704
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: at his word. Okay. So why was that necessary? For

705
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: those of you out there who are privy to the

706
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: day to day inner workings of what has been happening

707
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: that may have just sounded like presidents speak if you will,

708
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: whole lot of nothing. It was necessary because one of

709
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: the growing fears around the Michigan fan base, which was

710
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: valid I think to be a fear at least, is

711
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: that as they negotiate, maybe a renegotiated, which is what

712
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: you negotiate most times, something that's renegotiated. One of the

713
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: biggest fears around the Michigan program is they're not committed

714
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: long term to Jim Harbaugh until this whole NCUBA mess

715
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 1: clears up. And I do mean mess. I laughed, laughed

716
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: out loud when I read the allegations that had been presented,

717
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: like this is why I can't run an athletic department.

718
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: I just go rogue. I just slammed the door in

719
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: the nc doublea's face. I just say, I dare you

720
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: to do something to me. We had too many assistant

721
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: coaches on the field, something we spoke about on this

722
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: show two weeks ago. By the way, really did we

723
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: really did we buy some kids dinner when we weren't

724
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: supposed to. I don't even care if my head coach

725
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: lied about it, which is what he's accused of doing,

726
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: which is a level one violation. By the way, I

727
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 1: cannot be an AD because I would, in no uncertain

728
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: terms tell the NCAA what I thought about that, me

729
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: knowing full well what other programs are doing. And you're

730
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,479
Speaker 1: coming at me with that anyway, that's beside the point.

731
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: So there's been a fear around Michigan that, since that

732
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: investigation is ongoing and it won't be concluded for several weeks,

733
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,720
Speaker 1: the university, whether it be the AD or the president,

734
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: was not going to commit to a new contract with

735
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh until it was too late. Because if you've

736
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: got Denver online one, and then you've got Jim Harball

737
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: looking back at the university saying are you going to

738
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,359
Speaker 1: counter this, and the university saying not till this investigation

739
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: is done, well it won't matter because he'll be gone

740
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 1: by the time the investigation's done. You get where we've

741
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: been now, okay, so that brings you up to speed.

742
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: My lean on this given that statement from the President today,

743
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 1: and Jim Harbaugh issued sort of a follow up statement, Hey,

744
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, thank you for your commitment, which is

745
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: essentially saying, all right, give me what I want. I

746
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: think he's gonna stay at Michigan. It's just my lean.

747
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 1: I have no information on the NFL side of this.

748
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are reporting a lot

749
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: of things. I don't know what to believe over there.

750
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: It sounds for the moment like it's Denver or nothing

751
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: in the NFL. That's what it sounds like to me.

752
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: I could be wrong there, But what does it take?

753
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: Takes a couple of things. It's not just is Jim

754
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: Harbaugh interested in going in the NFL. It also takes

755
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: an offer. He doesn't have that yet. That was the

756
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: great unknown I've spoken about for like a month. You

757
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: can hear a lot of smoke, you can hear a

758
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: lot of rumblings. Sometimes that's just a guy's agent working

759
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: the market. It happens. It happens to me all the time.

760
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: I have agents reach out to me frequently, multiple times

761
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: a week. I appreciate him, love the guys. I talk

762
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 1: to him all the time, but I know when they

763
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: want me to say things on air. Sometimes I do

764
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: it because I think it's valid. Most of the time

765
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: I don't, because understand they're in a meteorological term. They're

766
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 1: trying to do what we would call moisten the column immunity.

767
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: That's what they're trying to do. Well, you can moisten

768
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: your column somewhere else, won't always happen on this program.

769
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: I think that may be what's happening right now from

770
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh's side of things, and that's an agent just

771
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: doing his job. But yeah, you've heard a lot of

772
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh NFL. How many offers does he have on

773
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: the table? That's the question. How many offers will he

774
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: have on the table? That'll be the question if he doesn't.

775
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: It's a moot point. But the Michigan side of this

776
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: is what they control is a university, and how will

777
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 1: that contract negotiation proceeed? Because there's this other little caveat

778
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: it's not so little that is thought to be a

779
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 1: sticking point right now, and that sticking point is Michigan

780
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: understandably does not want to go through this a third time.

781
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 1: So if he does stay there, they want a massive

782
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: buyout worked into his deal. They're willing to pay him

783
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 1: more money. But the concession he's going to have to

784
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: make is when he signs on the dotted line, he's

785
00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: agreeing to a huge buyout that would basically prevent any

786
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: NFL franchise from coming after him in the near future.

787
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: I think that's fair. That's fair on the university side.

788
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: And if you don't think it's fair, you don't stay

789
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: there as their head coach. But think about where this

790
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: could lead Jim Harball. It's all well and good. If

791
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: you got a spot to land in the NFL, that's

792
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: all well and good. What if you don't. What if

793
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: none of those franchises offers you their head coaching job

794
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: and Michigan does not back off the requirement for a

795
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: large buyout to be put in your deal, and maybe

796
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: ultimately you want to go to the NFL, it's just

797
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: not happening this year. What do you do? Well? That

798
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: is where the L word comes into the equation leverage,

799
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: and Jim Harball would all of a sudden find himself

800
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: without a whole lot of it. So it's been thought

801
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: for a while. Oh, Harball's got all the leverage. He'll

802
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: make a decision whenever he's ready to. Okay, all right,

803
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 1: well he's got to get an offer first or else.

804
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: All this is irrelevant, and Michigan is going to dictate

805
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: the terms more so than him because he's not going anywhere.

806
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: He's not going to another college job, I don't think.

807
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: And if he does, Michigan's fine. Okay, Michigan's going to

808
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: be really good next year, and Michigan set up for

809
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: the long haul and they'll be fine. I think Jim

810
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 1: Harball will be fine. I fifty two to forty eight.

811
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be the head coach at

812
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: Michigan next year. But I think a lot of things.

813
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,720
Speaker 1: So those were a lot of guesses for you. Follow

814
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: that contract renegotiation. That's the story at Michigan right now.

815
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Coffeeville, Kansas, Waycross, Georgia, and Nashville, Tennessee.

816
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: I would greatly appreciate it, as would producer Jesse and

817
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: direct Colin calls. They got to eat tonight somehow. If

818
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: you would subscribe to the channel a lot of you

819
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: are watching right now, go ahead and subscribe. It's free.

820
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 1: There's no hidden catch there. It's free. Just helps us.

821
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 1: And like the video while you're here, because less than

822
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: a quarter of you have done that right now who

823
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: are watching live. I'm not trying to shame you, but

824
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 1: I am trying to make you feel a little bit guilty.

825
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 1: That thumbs up button, that's the light by the way.

826
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: That's all it takes. All right, we move on. Did

827
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: you feel the ground shakeover in South Carolina? Today? Dabosweny

828
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,479
Speaker 1: realized the error of his ways in a big way.

829
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:16,760
Speaker 1: He made a move today and he fired his offensive coordinator. Gasp,

830
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: Dabo won't do that, he's too stubborn. Well he did,

831
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: and not just did he fire his offensive coordinator Brandon Streeter.

832
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: He's ready to make a new hire, and it's going

833
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 1: to be one of the biggest bombshells that we see

834
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: in this hiring cycle. Several reports indicate that as soon

835
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:40,240
Speaker 1: as tomorrow we will see TCU offensive coordinator Garrett Riley

836
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: headed to Clemson. It is hard for me to clearly

837
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: enough overstate how big a hire. This is. Just an

838
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: absolute grand slam, perhaps even a five run homer, if

839
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: such a thing exists for Dabos Twenny and let me

840
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: tell you it couldn't come soon enough, because if you

841
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: look at their offensive output, it fell off a cliff

842
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: pretty quickly. Twenty eighteen, let's just go back to the

843
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: year they won the title with Trevor Lawrence. They skull

844
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 1: drug Alabama in Santa Clara. They scored forty four point

845
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 1: three points per game that year. Twenty nineteen they went

846
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 1: back to the title game again. They scored nearly forty

847
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 1: four points a game. Twenty twenty forty three and a

848
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: half points a game, so they're very steady. Twenty twenty

849
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: one twenty six point three points per game, twenty twenty

850
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 1: two thirty three point two points per game. Do you

851
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: see where things changed? Can you tell where the coaching

852
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: staff got shook up a little bit? Garrett Riley sounds

853
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: like Jeff Scott's coming in again. Maybe in an analyst

854
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: role helps in recruiting a lot more than it does offense,

855
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: by the way, but Garrett Riley helps on the offensive side.

856
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 1: Slam dunk. So I couldn't help but have a lot

857
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: of you DM me today and say hey, remember this SoundBite,

858
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: And truthfully, I had forgotten about it, which is one

859
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,280
Speaker 1: of the many reasons why we have the greatest audience

860
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 1: on the face of the earth. Because half of our

861
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: show prep is done by you. We need to go

862
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: back to December first, the year of our lawder twenty

863
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: twenty two. Dabo Swinny was predictably getting drugged because he

864
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: would not admit that you were right about his program

865
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,399
Speaker 1: and he was wrong. A lot of people were saying

866
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 1: he needed to make some new hires, he needed to

867
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 1: get rid of guys, he needed to do this and that,

868
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:21,280
Speaker 1: and he essentially, I think it was on a coaches show,

869
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 1: he said, Hey, if y'all just want to overturn things,

870
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: if you'll want to do this, maybe I'm not the

871
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: right guy to be here. He got really defensive. He's

872
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: a really prideful guy. And I heard some people say, oh,

873
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: Dabo's he's going to run himself out of Clemson. Look

874
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 1: at him. He's so dug in. He's not going to

875
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,439
Speaker 1: make any changes. And I never believed that. I thought

876
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: he would make changes. I just didn't think he'd give

877
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: you the satisfaction of agreeing with you publicly. Colin. Let's

878
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 1: roll the footage, and especially after the season's over, they

879
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: will self scout, they'll self evaluate, they'll do a healthy

880
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: self inventory, and there'll be a laundry list of things

881
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 1: they want to change. But what he's not going to

882
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: to do, because it's not in him to do it,

883
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: is stand there and let you bang on him. He's

884
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 1: just he's too prideful a guy. Could it be a flaw? Sometimes? Yeah,

885
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 1: I guess it could. And so what I'm not gonna

886
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: do is allow myself to stand there and take it

887
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 1: from you. And I'm not gonna say, well, you're right, Well,

888
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: you're right, Well, you're right. It's just not the way

889
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: it's gonna work. It wouldn't work that way with me

890
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: at Peyton State, it doesn't work that way with him

891
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: at Clemson. But that doesn't mean you may not be right.

892
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean he may not see it the same

893
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,240
Speaker 1: way you do. That doesn't mean some of the changes

894
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: that you and I and many other people think he

895
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: needs to make he doesn't agree with and may not

896
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: be well in his way to trying to make. He's

897
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,720
Speaker 1: just not going to give you the satisfaction of publicly

898
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: admitting it. It's a great point, Josh, I appreciate it.

899
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 1: So back to live programming. Here, everybody thought they were

900
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: gonna get Garrett Riley. Miami fans wanted him, Bama fans

901
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 1: wanted him. Clemson folks are gonna get him. And I

902
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 1: don't know who did and didn't offer him, but I

903
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: know Clemson did, and I know they're gonna land him.

904
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 1: By the way, we do have some reaction in from

905
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: places like Tuscaloosa. If you just want to take a

906
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: look at this right quick, if you're listening on podcasts,

907
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: they're handling it every bit as well as you would

908
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: expect them to. Quote. Not to be dramatic, but hearing

909
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: Garrett Riley possibly to Clemson while we still have Bill

910
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,959
Speaker 1: O'Brien on payroll makes me want to take a bath

911
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 1: with a toaster. Roletied role exactly how I would expect it. Now.

912
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: For the record, our good close personal friend who is

913
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: also just one of the more annoying people on the planet,

914
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: Tim Watts, love to hate that guy. But Timothy I

915
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: saw talking earlier today about this, he doesn't think that

916
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,359
Speaker 1: Bama was ever really in it for Garrett Riley. For

917
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,280
Speaker 1: the record, I never heard Bama in it for Garrett Riley.

918
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: I blindly guessed on the show, Hey, maybe they'll go

919
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: after Garrett Riley. What I am still ultra confident in

920
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: is Alabama's going to eventually hire an offensive coordinator not

921
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: named Bill O'Brien, And I think it's going to happen

922
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 1: pretty quickly, well pretty eminently. But it's not going to

923
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 1: be Garrett Riley because he's going to Clemson. Now, the

924
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 1: best coaches can do this stuff. Best coaches can assess

925
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 1: and then realize where they made a mistake and then correct,

926
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: And the best coaches, the best programs have the resources

927
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: to really go and get pretty much whoever they want to.

928
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,879
Speaker 1: Dabos when he did that, So remember you throw around

929
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: the word stubborn all the time setting his ways. I've

930
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: been in that camp. I've thought he's been slow to react.

931
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: I thought these coordinator moves he made last year, especially

932
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator move, thought he could have done a

933
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 1: lot better. He disagreed at the time. Turns out one

934
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 1: to oh JP versus Dabo. Now he will end up

935
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,240
Speaker 1: blowing me out when we come to disagreeing on aspects

936
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 1: of his program. Just so happened that some of us

937
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,359
Speaker 1: were right about this and he was wrong. Credit him

938
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,359
Speaker 1: for realizing it. He put out a statement today which

939
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing, said I'm the leader of this program. I

940
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: got to take responsibility. We're not doing good enough here.

941
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: I got to make a move. It probably ate him

942
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,760
Speaker 1: up to do this, ate him up, dab But you know, Dabos,

943
00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,879
Speaker 1: when do you listen to him talk for a long time.

944
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: That is a dude who believes in every move he makes,

945
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: and he's got a me against the world mentality. This

946
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 1: is a guy who wakes up in the morning believing

947
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 1: the world is out to get him just because the

948
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: sun came up. So to have to acquiesce here, to

949
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 1: have to cave and fire a guy who most people

950
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 1: said he shouldn't have elevated to begin with, that wasn't easy,

951
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 1: and he did it anyway. I know that sounds like

952
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,399
Speaker 1: the minimum requirement out there to run a program. I'm

953
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 1: just telling you, knowing that guy from a distance like

954
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: I have observed, because that's the only way I could

955
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: know him. I know that wasn't easy. So credit Daboswiney.

956
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: They just made a big move. And I know Christmas

957
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 1: was like three weeks ago, but brother, Christmas is tomorrow

958
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 1: for kay Klubnick, because if this thing gets finalized tomorrow,

959
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: kay Clubnick is the most blessed quarterback in the United

960
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 1: States of America to get paired up with Garrett Riley. Now,

961
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 1: how about we diversify that wide receiver room a little bit.

962
00:48:56,280 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 1: That could be the next task Prediction time Bold Predictions,

963
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: revisiting what did you believe in August? What would you

964
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,439
Speaker 1: have bet your money on that in many cases came

965
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 1: crashing to the ground unceremoniously. Let's take a look at

966
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:14,919
Speaker 1: some of the bold predictions that were submitted to the show.

967
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: Shall we bold prediction number one? The earliest bold prediction

968
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: you'll get on this fine third blah blah blah, blah blah. Okay,

969
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 1: here's the prediction. Florida and Georgia both undefeated when they

970
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 1: face off in Jacksonville. Oh, this is when we were

971
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 1: headed to one hundred k huh. Now we're at nearly

972
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy thousand subs. I put an eight

973
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,320
Speaker 1: and a half on this. I thought it was very bold.

974
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 1: I didn't doubt Georgia could do it. I thought there

975
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,800
Speaker 1: was no shot Florida was going to be undefeated. Florida

976
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,720
Speaker 1: was a three lost team by the time they played Georgia.

977
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: They had lost to well, they lost Tennessee. They lost

978
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 1: to LSU and they had lost to Kentucky too. Now

979
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 1: they beat Utah in Week one, miraculously beat Utah, so

980
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 1: it looked like they were off of the races. And

981
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 1: then Mark Stoops did amend the very next week, So

982
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: that was an eight and a half. That one missed.

983
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:05,439
Speaker 1: Put the cash in the pot over here. Next up.

984
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 1: This one didn't come close either. It was bold. I'll

985
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 1: grant you that I put a nine on this one. CJ.

986
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: Stroud breaks Joe Burrow's records for touchdowns and yardage this season.

987
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 1: C J. Stroud didn't even break his records from the

988
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:26,879
Speaker 1: previous year. Now fairly enough, you probably expected Jackson Smith

989
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 1: and Jigoba to be a part of the passing game,

990
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 1: and he wasn't for pretty much the majority of the year.

991
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: But CJ. Stroud had like twenty four hundred less passing

992
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: yards than he had last year. Forget about Joe Burrow.

993
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: C J. Strout had nineteen less total touchdowns than he

994
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 1: had the previous year, so he was well off the mark.

995
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 1: The completion percentage dropped, you know, for the record for

996
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: anyone keep a track out there. I know that we

997
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 1: just think it's an inevitability. C J. Stroud still has

998
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: not declared for the draft. That could change tomorrow, but

999
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 1: he has not declared yet. Now you know me, even

1000
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: if there's a one percent chance that a great college

1001
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,399
Speaker 1: football player stays in college football, I will always hold

1002
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,720
Speaker 1: out hope, even against hope. So you can call me ignorant,

1003
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: you can call me up toos. What did you call me?

1004
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: I am hoping CJ. Strouse stays in college because, unlike

1005
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: years past, he can make like five ten million dollars

1006
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 1: next year staying in college. So it's not like you're

1007
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:23,760
Speaker 1: putting your body at risk for nothing. Yeah, in IL

1008
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: has changed the game. Some major quarterback is going to

1009
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 1: stay in college and shot the world. Liner did it

1010
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 1: back in the non INIL days. Someone's gonna do it.

1011
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:37,799
Speaker 1: It could be UCJ next up. This one was kind

1012
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 1: of bold, but not the most bold prediction in the world.

1013
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: This was from a not Ray but Ray Lewis's burner

1014
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: on Twitter. The College Football Playoff will have two new

1015
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 1: entries to the final four this year. Close close but

1016
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: not quite. We got one TCU. We came close to

1017
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: get in the second. How close did we come? Well?

1018
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 1: If US beats Utah, there it is if Tennessee does

1019
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 1: not get drug unmercifully by South Carolina in all likelihood

1020
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: there it is either one of them would have done

1021
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:16,280
Speaker 1: the trick here if TCU also made it. Obviously butterfly effect.

1022
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: I never know. If I changed one thing about the past,

1023
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: how would it have changed everything else? Jesse, you' seen

1024
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: butterfly effect the movie Ashton Kutcher in there, Amy smart

1025
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 1: good movie makes you think. I thought this was a

1026
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: seven on the boldness scale. So here's okay, So here's

1027
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:36,800
Speaker 1: the list. This is the list I was talking about earlier.

1028
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,760
Speaker 1: Mind you, the prediction was we're gonna have two new participants. Okay.

1029
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:45,720
Speaker 1: So I had Jesse the day that we did this segment.

1030
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:48,839
Speaker 1: I said, Jesse, go just put a list together of

1031
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:52,760
Speaker 1: all the odds for teams that haven't ever made the playoff.

1032
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 1: In other words, if we get a party crasher, who

1033
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: would it be? And we had and this is just

1034
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 1: in order of where had their preseason odds to make

1035
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 1: the playoff. We had A and m usc Utah, Wisconsin, Texas,

1036
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 1: Oak State, Baylor, Florida, Iowa, pitt Miami, Penn State. TCU

1037
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 1: is not even on the list. Tennessee is not even

1038
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: on the list, and those two well, TCU made it.

1039
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 1: Tennessee was another one that almost made it. Only USC

1040
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 1: was in the group that almost made this happen and

1041
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: was actually listed, which just goes to show you kids,

1042
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 1: Like Mema always said, you can question predictions in August,

1043
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 1: but don't ever laugh at any predictions in August, because

1044
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: the craziest things in the world sometimes come true. What

1045
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 1: would you have said to someone who had TCU penciled

1046
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: into their playoff bracket in August because it ended up

1047
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: coming true to be right? And this is this is

1048
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 1: the case any year. To accurately predict a college football season,

1049
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 1: as it turns out, you will have to say things

1050
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 1: in August that sound like they're from another planet. There

1051
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 1: is no ball season that ever plays out or at

1052
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:05,840
Speaker 1: least one or two crazy inconceivable things in August end

1053
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 1: up happening. So there's that. Next up, this was a

1054
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:12,359
Speaker 1: really bold one. Keegan said at least three Big ten

1055
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 1: head coaches will get fired at the end of the year.

1056
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: I put a nine and a half on this. I

1057
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 1: did not think this was feasible, and it didn't happen.

1058
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:22,399
Speaker 1: Now I looked at one coach Scott Frost, and I said,

1059
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 1: I could easily see that happening, and he did get canned,

1060
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 1: like a month end of the season, he's gone. I

1061
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 1: thought that'd probably be it. Paul Christ got fired at Wisconsin.

1062
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 1: I didn't even see that coming. I did not consider

1063
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 1: that a possibility. But outside of that especially, I didn't

1064
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: think that there was any shot. Three of them, we're

1065
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:42,319
Speaker 1: going to be fired. The keyword there is fired. Jeff

1066
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: Bram moved on of his own volition. He didn't get fired.

1067
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,359
Speaker 1: So I thought that was really bold. Three of them

1068
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 1: is really bold. And I put a nine and a

1069
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:53,839
Speaker 1: half and that one crashed and burned. Next up, this

1070
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: one hit. This was a really really good call. Texas

1071
00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: Tiger said, University of Washington, not only will the upset

1072
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 1: Michigan State, they'll go nine to three. Watching from Pittsburgh, Texas,

1073
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 1: they did you one better, Jesse. Did they have ten

1074
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:12,320
Speaker 1: or eleven wins? Yeah, eleven counting the bowl. So Washington

1075
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: was a ten win team regular season, eleven wins counting

1076
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: the bowl, and they beat Michigan State straight up. The

1077
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 1: line was somewhere between three and six. Spartans were favored,

1078
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,959
Speaker 1: and it did not happen for them. Here's the thing

1079
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: that made them a ten and eleven win team. Ultimately, offensively,

1080
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 1: they were a firecracker offense. Michael Pennix had a phenomenal

1081
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 1: year forty six hundred passing yards, thirty five total touchdowns.

1082
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: I knew that he was capable of doing big things

1083
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:44,880
Speaker 1: if healthy, and that was a big if given his career.

1084
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:47,320
Speaker 1: I didn't know that Kaitlyn de Borr and the guys

1085
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: out there were going to have an offense like that

1086
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 1: this year, and they did. They finished top ten. Look

1087
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 1: at that number eight next to Washington, just so quietly.

1088
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 1: You know they they bordered on being a playoff contender.

1089
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 1: I think people realize this. They lost a couple of

1090
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:06,760
Speaker 1: games in a row is at UCLA and at Arizona State,

1091
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 1: just in the middle of the year, and then they

1092
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 1: went on a really, really good run and they beat

1093
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 1: Texas and the Alamo Bowl. They were really good this year.

1094
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: So this was a good call. Michael Pennix, what a season.

1095
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 1: He had. Unbelievable story out there. When you want to

1096
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 1: look at teams that are sneaking around. We talked earlier

1097
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: in the show about all the sudden oxygen that's available

1098
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: in the room of the never made the playoff but

1099
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 1: could make the playoff category. Maybe it's Washington, because you

1100
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 1: know USC is going to have a ton of love

1101
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:38,839
Speaker 1: out there. I'm gonna give Oregon a ton of love.

1102
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:41,800
Speaker 1: I happen to believe in them this upcoming year. Washington,

1103
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: they're willing to buy the pillow and allow you to

1104
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 1: sleep on them as long as they get to play

1105
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 1: you in the fall. I know that there are some

1106
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,800
Speaker 1: people out there who were telling you the season ended Monday.

1107
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 1: I cannot in strong enough terms emphasize we don't wrap

1108
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:02,759
Speaker 1: the season here. We don't. There are some modifications come

1109
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 1: into the show for the better, but that's not happening

1110
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 1: over the next week because we have too much stuff

1111
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: to talk about. So there are two things that you've

1112
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: asked me for a whole lot. One of them is

1113
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 1: bring back the Late Kick Extra podcast. I'm doing it.

1114
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: It's done. I'll give you a date in the near future,

1115
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: but we're doing that, so rest easy. That's coming. Number

1116
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 1: two is the stuff we did with Cole Kublick. You

1117
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 1: said you loved it. Now I know you guys don't

1118
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 1: like interviews, or at least our numbers say you don't

1119
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 1: like interviews, so I'm not bringing guests on unless it's

1120
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 1: a major head coach. I'm not doing an interview style,

1121
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 1: but a conversational format where we get a variety of

1122
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 1: different voices on the show. We got them lined up,

1123
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 1: I know. I told you we were going to do

1124
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 1: some over Christmas, and we did one of them. We

1125
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 1: deferred those into January and February for a reason. I

1126
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 1: got some good names lined up for you. We were

1127
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 1: at the National Championship game, and I can't Maybe one

1128
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: day I'll tell you the story of where I watch

1129
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 1: the National Championship Game from, and more importantly, who I

1130
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 1: watched the National Championship Game with. But some of the

1131
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 1: people that I watched that game with will end up

1132
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 1: coming on the show, So maybe we'll tell that story

1133
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 1: down the road. I'll tell you another one. I can't

1134
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 1: give you names here except Herbstreet. I'll give you Herbstreet

1135
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:25,920
Speaker 1: because we're standing near the media elevator before the game's

1136
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 1: going to kick off. So what happens normally at least

1137
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 1: at games where Herbstreet and Falow are calling the game,

1138
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 1: you know they'll be on the field and then they

1139
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:36,440
Speaker 1: get a police escort right to the media elevator, and

1140
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 1: the media elevator is held for them, and they go

1141
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 1: on and they go up, and so they just get priority.

1142
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 1: That's the kind of luxury you get when your company

1143
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: owns the broadcast rights to a game. Well, anyway, a

1144
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 1: lot of celebrities at the game the other night, and

1145
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna mention this person's name, but there was

1146
00:58:55,720 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: a pretty high level celebrity standing at the elevator thinking

1147
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 1: that they were about to get priority treatment and get

1148
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: the next one when it goes ding, I'm hopping on

1149
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 1: and the rest of you pops can stay over here

1150
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: out of the way until Herbstreet came through. And Herbstreet's coming.

1151
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 1: It's like it's like, all of a sudden, you hear

1152
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 1: around the corner Meckway, Mackway, a lot of guys with

1153
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 1: their finger against their earpiece are coming around. I can't

1154
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: remember whether they were wearing black suits or not. Shades

1155
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 1: were probably worn, even if they didn't, just pretend they

1156
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 1: were and said celebrity in no uncertain terms, was told

1157
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna scoot over for a second, those this elevators

1158
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 1: for them, and said celebrity just stood there and watched,

1159
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 1: may not have even known who Kurbstream was, but washed

1160
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 1: them go by. I'm sure they got to their suite

1161
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 1: and plenty of time. I'm sure copious amounts of seafood

1162
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 1: were consumed and all's well, that ends well, unless they

1163
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 1: were a TCU fan. Really interesting. You see a lot

1164
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 1: of things at these Championship Games. We've got a lot

1165
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: of good programming coming up for you. We'll be back

1166
00:59:54,440 --> 01:00:00,160
Speaker 1: live Sunday night. So if you're looking elsewhere because you're

1167
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 1: your favorite show of choice has abandoned you irresponsibly for

1168
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: the next six months or so, we got you. We

1169
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 1: got you, and you know what, you may never want

01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 1: to leave when you subscribe here, paid state year round,

1171
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 1: year round. So for a producer Jesse, for director of Colin,

1172
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 1: for myself, for our pas, for everyone, we appreciate it.

1173
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 1: We're not going anywhere. It's gonna be a fun next

1174
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 1: couple of months and an active pact the next couple

1175
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 1: of months until Sunday Night. Take care of Godles
