The something man I'm I was just 13 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 2: I was just reading about Indiana's linebacker in Dukeway, who 14 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 2: looks like he's gonna miss the remainder of the season. 15 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 2: Got hurt celebrating. God, that's the kind of buyer. That's 16 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 2: kind of stuff that happens to my angels and to 17 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 2: our chargers. Right, you get hurt celebrating, That's exactly what happened. 18 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 2: That happened. Okay, got a metric ton to get get 19 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 2: you ready for I do think there's some post mortem 20 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 2: for Monday Night football. It was Chargers versus the Eagles, 21 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 2: and Jalen Hurts had five turnovers, two on one play 22 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 2: and in overtime he threw an interception that ultimately, ultimately 23 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 2: they didn't ultimately that that ended the game. And I 24 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 2: bring it up because, well, first, there's a radio conversation 25 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 2: between Nick Siriani and UH and some hosts on a 26 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: Philadelphia radio station, which was just an interesting back and forth. 27 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 2: I won't play for you, and I'll just kind of 28 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 2: give you my mind that this is actually a really 29 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 2: good kind of coaching discussion in terms of coaching one 30 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 2: on one. Here's Nick Sirianni on his radio had asking 31 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 2: about what they can do with Jalen Hurts. Is there 32 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 2: a possibility later this season if he continues to struggle, 33 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 2: that you can make a change at the quarterback spot. 34 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 3: No, I think that's ridiculous. You know, I think you 35 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 3: know Jalen Hurts. I know every time I go out 36 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 3: in that field with Jalen Hurts as our quarterback, we 37 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 3: have a chance to win the game. 38 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. So I there's a couple things to it. First, 39 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: just the idea that you're going to replace Jalen Hurts 40 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 2: is just it's it's so laughable. And while you might say, hey, 41 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 2: look you gotta go by how you're playing this year, 42 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 2: not how what you've done in total like that, that's fair. 43 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 2: Like just because a guy makes a ton of money, 44 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 2: just because he's been your starter, does not mean he 45 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: has to always be your starter. Like nothing is in 46 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 2: fact forever. And some guys can be I don't know 47 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 2: if you want to say flash in the pan, but 48 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 2: some guys can be good for a short period of 49 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 2: time but struggle long term. We do know that Sam 50 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 2: Howell and Tanner McKee are the backup quarterbacks of the 51 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagle. Like I thought, Nick Sirianni handled it really well. 52 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 2: And this is something that when you're a coach, sometimes 53 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: you're asked dumb questions and you have to treat them 54 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 2: as legitimate questions. I have to treat them as legitimate questions. Yeah, 55 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 2: they've lost three in a row. This is the same 56 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 2: team that started the season four No started seemingly every 57 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 2: year really well, and every year we do have this 58 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 2: discussion about you know, Jalen Hurts not a great pass 59 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: for the football, but he's got six interceptions all year. 60 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 2: He protects the football all year. He took you to 61 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: two Super Bowls one to one. What are we really 62 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 2: talking about now. One of the things that Jalen Hurts 63 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 2: that I noticed is that last throw when he's rolling 64 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: right and he throws it to the end zone and 65 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 2: the Chargers just make a great play and an interception 66 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 2: was he didn't set his feet and because he didn't 67 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 2: set his feet, maybe he threw it more quickly than 68 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 2: he would have had he set his feet, thinking he 69 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 2: gets sneaked in there, or maybe it didn't have just 70 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 2: the right amount of oomph and he didn't layer the 71 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 2: throw perfectly to get it in there. So there are 72 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 2: some fundamental things you can clean up. It also should 73 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,679 Speaker 2: be pointed out that aj Brown dropped for the balls, 74 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: including one that led to an interception. But quarterback in 75 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 2: point guard are two very similar positions. You got to 76 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 2: get everybody on the same page. And it's not as 77 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 2: much about your play. Your play is important, a lot 78 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: of it is about your leadership. It's a position of leadership, 79 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: and leadership comes with belief, faith, trust, all those all 80 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 2: those buzz and the second that players sense you don't 81 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 2: believe in another player, especially when their quarterback are running back. 82 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 2: That kills their ability to lead. Quarterbacks have to an 83 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 2: edity play that they throw the football. Tell three or 84 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 2: four players. You may think you're open, but you weren't. 85 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 2: I'm going to somebody else. And the only way that 86 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: works in the hierarchy of football is if the coach 87 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 2: has the quarterbacks back, no matter what. So I don't 88 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 2: love Nick Sirianni's theatrics. I haven't loved some of the 89 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 2: kind of trash talking, especially to fans. I don't do that. 90 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 2: I haven't loved all parts of the Nick siriani experience. 91 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 2: But I respect immensely that when his quarterback doesn't play 92 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 2: well and the team's not playing well, it's really easy 93 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 2: to go like, yeah, anything's possible. Nothing, it's not possible. 94 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 2: It's not gonna be discussed, not gonna happen. This is 95 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 2: the same guy let us to a super Bowl victory 96 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 2: last year. He led us to a super Bowl going 97 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 2: back to his second year in the NFL. There's no 98 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 2: reason to believe that we need to make some dramatic changes. 99 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 2: We just simply need to play better. And if you 100 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: can't accept that, you don't understand how sports work, especially 101 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 2: positions of leadership, because even if you pull him out 102 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 2: for a series, it kills his ability to lead. If 103 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 2: you offer up the possibility that you may make a change, 104 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 2: it kills his ability to lead. 105 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 4: You have to have. 106 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 2: Complete, publicly, complete and total undying faith, and you have 107 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 2: to do it in front of your team. Now in 108 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 2: the offseason, can you go, can we get somebody better? 109 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 2: Can we draft somebody young to challenge him so that 110 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 2: if this continues, we have another option? Maybe, but right 111 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 2: now they don't have that option. Right now. They're too 112 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 2: deep into a season. Let's not go crazy. It's not 113 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 2: like the season is lost. They're right there. They've won 114 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 2: plenty of big games this year, and in years in 115 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 2: the past. He's played well in those BEG games, even 116 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl loss. I thought he played exceptionally well 117 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 2: going back like half five years ago. So I just 118 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 2: think we get to this and this is what sports 119 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 2: fans have become the fire everybody, you know, this is 120 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 2: what's happened in the sec Like you have a disappointing 121 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 2: year or disappointing start, and boom your fires. Let's get 122 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 2: her to this guy and get to the next guy 123 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 2: as quickly as possible and see if he can breathe 124 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 2: hope into our lives. That's not gonna happen. It's the 125 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 2: same thing with players. If you just keep consistency is key, 126 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 2: you get more because at least you know what he can't, 127 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 2: what his ceiling is, what his floor is. As opposed 128 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 2: to a new guy, you just do not. And if 129 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 2: you want any sort of leadership going into the playoffs, 130 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 2: you can't undercut that leadership by offering up the possibility 131 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 2: of pulling him so Siriani can be a wild man 132 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 2: on the sidelines. You know, the expressions are a lot, 133 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 2: the gyrations, the talking trash to fans, some of the 134 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 2: things he's said in front of a microphone don't love. 135 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: But the fact is he is nailing this one, nailing it, 136 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 2: nail it. And you can say, hey, he can't show 137 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 2: throw the ball thirty five times, I'd agree with you 138 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 2: that's not who he is. He's got to run the 139 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 2: football more. I'd agree with you that that's got to 140 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 2: be who he is. But the idea of jumping ship 141 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 2: on Jalen hurts when he's going through a batter like 142 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 2: Mahomes isn't playing, well, why are we not talking about 143 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 2: pulling Mahomes. Well, he's won a bunch of Superls, ERTs 144 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 2: has been to two one to one. What are we 145 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 2: doing here? He's in his prime athletically. If you're going 146 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 2: to make dramatic changes, if you're gonna think about that 147 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 2: level of change, one you gotta have something better than 148 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 2: the Ruster and two you can't do it this time 149 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 2: of the year. And three you got a guy who 150 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 2: just won a Super Bowl. It's gonna look terrible for 151 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 2: the entire organization if that happens. The only thing that 152 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 2: can change my mind on it is if he walked 153 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 2: in as people in the Midwest and South lies with 154 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 2: the big head right with he walked in arrogant as 155 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 2: can be all year long, never accountable, not my fault, 156 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 2: things don't go wrong, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. 157 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 2: So I just anyone who thinks otherwise has never been 158 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 2: around a real sports team on things you just can't do. 159 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 2: And again I'll draw parallel to my team. I have 160 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 2: a kid who coming into the year thought he'd be 161 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 2: one of my best players, not playing particularly well. But 162 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 2: I've told myself, like he knows he's not playing well, 163 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 2: he's he's a better basketball player than that.

Something's bothering Jays. 180 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 2: He's got something working down there. Not that I had to. 181 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 2: I had to read that. That's that's really what he meant. 182 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 2: You know, I had to read. That is what he 183 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 2: meant byer. We're gonna talk with with r J. Young 184 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 2: in a moment about the upcoming college football playoff, and 185 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 2: I'm gonna give r J credit for something that I 186 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 2: did not see coming. Uh. It's the he was right, 187 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 2: I was wrong, which is the opposite of last year. 188 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 2: But you and I are old enough to truly speak 189 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 2: on the previous era of college football, right like we're 190 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 2: the ESSENTI of the same age. We both have the 191 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 2: same level of passion. You were in the Midwest, I 192 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,479 Speaker 2: was in the West Coast. And one of the fallbacks 193 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 2: for people who like to talk about the new era is, well, 194 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 2: the numbers are up, so no matter what you say, 195 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 2: more people want to watch. So it must be the 196 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 2: right decision to have conference tree alignment, have the College 197 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 2: Foball Playoff, do things the way they're doing with the portal. Hey, 198 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 2: the numbers are up. And my counter to that is 199 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 2: a pretty simple counter, which is, show me a metric 200 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 2: that shows that football viewing on television, regardless of level. 201 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 2: I would guess that high school football ratings are higher 202 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 2: than they've ever been. They're mini school comparison to college 203 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 2: which are half of the NFL ratings in comparison. But 204 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 2: America loves watching football on TV. That's been a well 205 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 2: established fact. The only time we don't like watching football 206 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 2: on TV is when it's non name brands in the 207 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 2: spring and you try and make a spring league. So 208 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 2: my point is there's no control group to tell us 209 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 2: if in fact this is the right path. It's the 210 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 2: path that we're taking regardless. But without any control group, 211 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 2: what are you saying other than oh, the ratings are better, 212 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 2: so it must be more popular. 213 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 4: Is that kind of an open ended question. 214 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 2: Yes, it's a question to you. Just you're a huge 215 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 2: college fotball fan. I'm a huge college football fan. I 216 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 2: just I know it will never happen. Okay, I do 217 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 2: a show our station in Wichita they have me on, 218 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 2: and I think you've made this argument before. I know 219 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 2: Jason Stewart has, and I just made the total argument, 220 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 2: which is, hey, look, okay, they're never going to have 221 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 2: less college football teams in the playoff. There's never going 222 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 2: to be fewer teams in the NCAA tournament. There's never 223 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 2: going to be less regular season NBA or Major League 224 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 2: Baseball games. There's never gonna be less teams in the 225 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 2: Major League Baseball playoffs. These things are not because the 226 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 2: more games, the more inventory, the more money, and everything 227 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 2: takes more money, and live sports is the most valuable 228 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 2: thing on television. Okay, so I'm not saying that it's 229 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 2: going to go back, but I do think realistically, if 230 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 2: we had the old sec ACC Pac ten, Big ten, 231 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 2: Big Eight, we'd have the same value at the same 232 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 2: level of viewership, if not greater, and it'd be easier 233 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 2: to pick out who the best team in each league was, 234 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 2: and we'd have a much cleaner sense of the playoff. 235 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 2: And oh yeah, by the way, we'd have much more 236 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 2: regional rivalries, which are kind of going the way of 237 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 2: the Dodo. 238 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 6: No. 239 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 4: I agree with that the changes in college football have 240 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 4: been so many and so drastic that we got some 241 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 4: of what we want, some of what we didn't want, 242 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 4: and some of what we never expected. But I would 243 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 4: think that the expanded playoff has gone on ever since 244 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 4: I was or I have been a fan of college football, 245 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 4: where we were dying back in the eighties and nineties 246 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 4: just to get the top two ranked teams to play 247 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,479 Speaker 4: each other in a bowl game, because that wasn't necessarily 248 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 4: a given. Then we got a step where hey, we 249 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 4: could play one versus two and then guess what, Now 250 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 4: we're going to expand to a playoff of four teams. 251 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 4: Now we're gonna exp Like all of that is good 252 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 4: progress to your point about where the conferences are now, 253 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 4: we've always wanted, I guess, more access to a championship, 254 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 4: but not in the form of these super conferences for 255 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 4: what we've seen, and I think that's a tough part 256 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 4: of for at least for me, and I actually think 257 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 4: that it maybe you would have had higher ratings if 258 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 4: the old conferences would have stayed to your point of 259 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 4: the Big eight being what it was in the Pac 260 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 4: twelve what it was. But I think we're getting now 261 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 4: what we've always wanted, and not that we're splitting hairs, 262 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 4: but we're still just trying to consume all of this 263 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 4: in a way that makes sense and makes us happy. 264 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 4: And quite honestly, if we were to take a step back, 265 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 4: I think a lot of us would be happy with 266 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 4: what we have. But we're sitting here worrying about a 267 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 4: Miami team and a bad conference in a Notre Dame 268 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 4: team that may have been one of the better five team, 269 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 4: you know, top five teams in football. However, their resume 270 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 4: didn't show that. And so that's like, I actually think 271 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 4: a majority of what we got is really good for 272 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 4: college football, but some of this other stuff is just 273 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 4: popping up. 274 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 2: I would agree. I feel bad for Stephen Daily you 275 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 2: see that. I know you reported that story that he's 276 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 2: going to miss the College twelve playoff. I mean the 277 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 2: kids celebrating high fiving people in the stands Indianapolis. 278 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, the video is not like you could tell that 279 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 4: it was he landed on the turf and something turned 280 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 4: and something twisted, and yeah, just. 281 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 2: Now again, reality is if you're and again I don't 282 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 2: know if it's an ACL, I don't know, but he 283 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 2: was carted off. When he's carved off, they had the knee. 284 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 2: They were taking care of the knee. So if your 285 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 2: ACL goes when you're slapping five to people and it 286 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 2: gives in the turf, it was probably gonna go anyway. 287 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 2: But gosh, that's just awful. 288 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 4: Well, you would also think that because that's an interesting 289 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 4: spot on the field like that probably wouldn't have been 290 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 4: a spot doug where the groundskeepers would make sure that 291 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 4: everything is in place, you know what I mean, Like 292 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 4: it's right at the border because he's trying to reach 293 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 4: up to the stands that are you know what at 294 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 4: you know, seven eight nine feet up from the ground, 295 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 4: so you're trying to jump up and give him a 296 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 4: high five. Like obviously the playing surface is going to 297 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 4: be fine, but that's like right at the edge of 298 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 4: the surface. And you wonder if that's maybe a reason 299 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 4: why he ended up coming down on the injury or 300 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 4: on the leg the wrong way. 301 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 2: I don't know, like I this is this is a 302 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 2: weird one. But we had the Horizon League meetings at 303 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 2: Lucas Oil and they had showed us that they had 304 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 2: just red when they had when the Colts weren't there 305 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 2: for two weeks. They had just repelleted the turf, make 306 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 2: it softer. They just put more of the the you know, 307 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 2: the the recycled car tires that that's what the little 308 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 2: pellets are. You know, they just made like just redone 309 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 2: it and they redo it for big games whatever, and 310 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 2: they kind of rake it. There's a sort of painstaking, 311 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 2: painstaking way in which they have to kind of go 312 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:31,360 Speaker 2: through that. But but god, that's just terrible. Like, dude, 313 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 2: starting defensive lineman for the number one ranked team is 314 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 2: out for the year, celebrating and it wasn't like he was. 315 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 2: When you say celebrating winning the Big Ten championship, you're like, oh, 316 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 2: all right, he was out slugging beers and then put 317 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 2: his head through a car window, Like no, he's literally 318 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 2: slapping fives with random fans. That is the worst luck 319 00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 2: in sports I can remember from a truly sixth cessful 320 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 2: team that has had an unbelievable. 321 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 4: Season II five. 322 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 2: It's a Doug got Lieb show on Fox Sports Radio. 323 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 2: You're the best, You're the best and the worst. 324 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 4: You're the best in the cold blooded. 325 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 2: It's a Doug Gottlieb show.

He believed in Brett 331 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 2: Menival's last year. I thought they were an interesting team 332 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 2: in the league. I didn't think they could win in 333 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 2: and they did not. I didn't see it this year, 334 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 2: despite the fact they had revamped that defense, and you know, 335 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 2: early on it was about quarterback and then quarterback comes 336 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 2: back from injury. They lose to Texas and it looked 337 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 2: like they were going to fold up shop, and what 338 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 2: do they know, They're in the playoff. They get a 339 00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 2: rematch with Alabama. RJ. This is my way of saying, 340 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 2: you were right, I was wrong. 341 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 6: Hey, we're one and one, Doug. You know you're right 342 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 6: about him. Last year they went six and seven. They 343 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 6: used to Navy. 344 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 2: We're even, brother, fair enough, I'll be even with you. Okay, 345 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 2: So what do you think of the overall bracket. 346 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 6: I think that for the most part, we're going to 347 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 6: watch Oregon stomp out James Madison. 348 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 3: Right. 349 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 6: I think it gets really interesting with Texas A and 350 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 6: m and Miami because that's basically the Notre Dame game. Right, 351 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 6: both of those teams beat Notre Dame. They're going to 352 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 6: face each other, and then it feels like everything's going 353 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 6: to fall in the way that it should. Like. I'm 354 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 6: very interested as you are with an eight nine matchup. 355 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 6: I think is really great. Oklahoma and Alabama really interesting. 356 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 6: Note on the Brent Minniles part of that, But for 357 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 6: the most part, I mean, the guy it right, the 358 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 6: name shouldn't be in it. Alabama. Okay, sure, fine, if 359 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 6: that's what you gotta do. You don't want to penalize 360 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 6: them for the SEC championship game, I'll let you have that. 361 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 6: But I also think that we just need an extended bracket. 362 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 6: I think we need to go to twenty four teams. 363 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 6: Twenty four teams, that's right, twenty four. 364 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,719 Speaker 2: Now we're I mean, that's a lot of football games, dude, 365 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 2: So tell me how, tell me how, tell me how 366 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 2: it works, because again, right now, you're talking about the 367 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 2: champions playing what is it? Is it sixteen games? They'll play? 368 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 2: The champions potentially play in sixteen, could play seventeen games, 369 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 2: depending on the team, but most of them, you know, 370 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 2: if they get to buy, it'll be sixteen games. So 371 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 2: I mean, again, how many games are we adding there? 372 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 2: We're adding what how many teams going to how many 373 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 2: team is going to buy in your twenty four team bracket? 374 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 6: The top eight, the top eight's still going to buy 375 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 6: and they get a home game. We get sixteen home games, 376 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 6: which I think is great because college football on campus 377 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 6: is exactly what we want and it is the greatest 378 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 6: spectacle in all of sports that college football games that 379 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 6: mean something to the playoffs and who gets into the championship. 380 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 6: But the way in which you get this gune. You 381 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 6: get your four best teams from each of the power 382 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 6: forward based on the standings right, so the PAC twelve 383 00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,479 Speaker 6: when it comes online would also be a group of sixteen. 384 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 6: But you get top four a SEC, top four Big twelve, 385 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 6: top four best EC right A so far, and then 386 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 6: you get the two best G six teams, which is 387 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 6: left up the committee, and then you get your six 388 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 6: at large teams. So Notre Dame doesn't have to cry 389 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 6: and take its football home. They get there at large 390 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 6: bid because they be one of those teams they get selected. 391 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 6: And as far as how many games we're planned, I'm 392 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 6: I mean, I'm asking this honestly and not really trying 393 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 6: to be sarcastic about it. You do you not like football? 394 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, no, I I do R J 395 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 2: R J. You're just not gonna be able to field teams. 396 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 2: They get so beat up you can't field teams. I mean, 397 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 2: it's just the reality of it. You're just not I mean, 398 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 2: you're goet. You're gonna you're gonna have backup quarterbacks, backup 399 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 2: running backs, backups everywhere. You don't have the bodies. You 400 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 2: just can't. 401 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 6: I think I think we will have the bodies because 402 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 6: they're gonna be one hundred and five players on the roster, 403 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 6: all of them are on scholarship, and all of them 404 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 6: are going to be getting nil money. Are we gonna 405 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 6: be spinning the herd at the bottom. Absolutely, You're gonna 406 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 6: have very, very competent football teams like the labor No 407 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 6: he noticed this, but the labor force has gotten really 408 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 6: skill it all of a sudden, right. We got older players, 409 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 6: we got players that know how to play, and we 410 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 6: got coaches that are figuring out how to coast their 411 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 6: teams deep into the playoffs. But Georgia and Ohio State 412 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 6: don't play a lot of football because they engineer their 413 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 6: football teams to be efficient playing the game. I'm not 414 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 6: I'm not gonna buy that one. I'm not gonna buy that. 415 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 6: The untilled labor part of this is gonna hold it up. 416 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I again, I I just be honest with you again. 417 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 2: If you talk to football people, they'll tell you it's 418 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 2: too many games. Say they talk too many games, and 419 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 2: then and then the other they'll tell it's too many games. 420 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 2: Because remember you like you're still gonna have the conference 421 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 2: championship games. Those aren't going away because they make money, right, 422 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,239 Speaker 2: so you're still gonna have it, I mean, and then 423 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 2: we could go through the standings things. But just the 424 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 2: idea of that many number of football games, I would 425 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 2: be very, very surprised because once you get to like 426 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 2: seventeen eighteen games like not happening, it's too it's it's 427 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 2: too much. And then there's the other factors with it, 428 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 2: which is okay, the one home game I do. I 429 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 2: agree with you. I love the first round on home sites. 430 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 2: That's awesome. After that, once you get to Christmas break, 431 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 2: you can't do that number of games. Also for fans, 432 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 2: they can't travel that much. Remember, these games haven't been 433 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 2: all as hot a tickets as we think they are. 434 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 2: And I know that it's essentially a television sport, but 435 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,880 Speaker 2: college football, as you know, is different. It's a lot 436 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 2: of it is about that atmosphere, and you're not gonna 437 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 2: have the atmosphere. When you're like, all right, we've got 438 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 2: four rounds of playoffs, which game do we go to? 439 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 2: You can only afford so much. Something's got to give, 440 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 2: so all right, we'll get to well, we can do 441 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 2: that in the offseason that in the offseason, let's just 442 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 2: talk about Oklahoma, a team that you have believed in 443 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 2: when others did not. What do you think of the 444 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 2: fact that they have to play Alabama yet again? 445 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 6: I think that Alabama should be terrified and breadventable. That's 446 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 6: what I think. He's five to zhero in rematching of 447 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 6: this kuy and going back to two thousand when they 448 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 6: played Kansas State the second time. Every time he gets 449 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 6: to see a team a second time in the year, 450 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 6: he beats them and the number of points they scored 451 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 6: goes down. And there's also like where it's a championship defense, 452 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 6: right We've seen this year in and year out. Explosive 453 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 6: offenses do not win national championships alone. You have to 454 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 6: have a top five scoring defense to go get it done. 455 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 6: And Oklahoma's playing like a top five scoring defense. And 456 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 6: more than the point, it's got a defense that can 457 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 6: score points. Right now. Are you expecting to get three 458 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 6: takeaways against Alabama again? No, but you didn't expect it 459 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 6: the first time and didn't expect to pick six. So 460 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 6: what it comes back to is can John Matteer return 461 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 6: to the kind of form that he showed in the 462 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 6: first three games of the season, because if he does that, 463 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 6: then you're talking them into being a national championship team. 464 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 6: Right now, I want to see what team shows up 465 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 6: on December nineteenth. I'm very high on this team. I 466 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 6: love Breavinimles called in the plays and I think they're 467 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 6: finally taking on his attitude of no, we just want 468 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 6: to line up and we just want to beat you down. 469 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 6: Can we do that? Cool? Because if we're going to 470 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 6: do that, it's going to be fine. When Oklahoma tries 471 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 6: to get cute and I mean this offensively, then they're 472 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 6: in trouble. 473 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 2: Miami Texas surname. Who do you like? 474 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 6: And I really like an m I like Marcel Reid. 475 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 6: He's just too up and down. Try to past six 476 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 6: in the session against South Carolina. Need to come back 477 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 6: those twenty seven point they'rebody talking about it being a 478 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 6: great comeback. No, No, you were down thirty to three. 479 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 6: That's the take care. Miami has the second best defensive 480 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,439 Speaker 6: line on their side of the bracket, right I really 481 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 6: love Corey Heatherman's defense. They get after people. That front 482 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 6: is as good as Texas Tech is, as good as 483 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 6: Georgia is, as good as Ohio State so I'm gonna 484 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 6: pick Miami for one more caveat. If Mario Cristo Baal 485 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 6: has to make clock management decisions, they're toast. 486 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 2: Did de Lucia Okay? 487 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 6: No, I said if Mario Christaball, yeah again, I just 488 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 6: want to make sure. 489 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 2: I want to cut you off. You know, it's Doug 490 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 2: Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. I know you 491 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 2: care again, I know you care.

You got to check it out. 494 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 2: It's awesome. I know you care. Why do you think 495 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 2: there's so much less buzz? Or at least that's my 496 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 2: perception of it. I could be wrong. So much less 497 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 2: buzz about the Heisman Trophy this year as opposed. 498 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 6: To previous years, because there's no real star, there's no 499 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 6: breakout stars. There's no Caleb Williams, there's no Jade Daniels 500 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 6: going for thirty four hundred and twelve hundred. I think 501 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 6: that we have really consitioned college football to be about 502 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 6: head coaches. And I've said this for years. We have 503 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 6: such a transient population, kind of like college basketball. If 504 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 6: I'm being honest, and that if you don't know me 505 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 6: or someone likes me who follows the sport as closely 506 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 6: as we do, you have a hard time just knowing 507 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 6: who's on your team or who your starting quarterback is. 508 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 6: So Diego Pavia, who I think would win the Heisman 509 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 6: any other year. It's just a guy to a lot 510 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 6: of other people. Julian San is just the dude that 511 00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 6: gets the keys to the best offense in a Maria, 512 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 6: and the best player in the sport is Jeremiah Smith, 513 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 6: and he's nowhere to be seen on these ballots. I 514 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 6: honestly think that the Heisman is done and do a 515 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 6: good job of getting behind players. I think it wants 516 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 6: everybody to get behind it, and that's that's a losing proposition, 517 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 6: especially when fans already have their idea who you thinks 518 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 6: should win it and it no longer means what he 519 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:20,439 Speaker 6: used to. 520 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 2: Great point. I'm with you. Dan Byron and I discussed 521 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 2: this yesterday. We're like, who's the best college ball player 522 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 2: like Jeremiah Smith? Why not give the award to him? 523 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 2: I don't. It's like we got to give it to 524 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 2: and then if we wait till after the college fall playoff, 525 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 2: we're very likely to overreact to whoever plays, Well, it's 526 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 2: probably gonna be the quarterback whatever team wins it, right, 527 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 2: Like that's which is what it's gonna be with Mendoza anyway. 528 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 2: It's just it's just weird. What's happened to this? This 529 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 2: this uh, this fabulous award. R. J. Young is our guest. Okay, 530 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 2: in in your dreams the second round, okay, looks like 531 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, we don't think the power of 532 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 2: the what is that? What are the ones called the 533 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 2: James Madisons and the two lanes? Do they have? 534 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 6: Do they? Yes? They have a fighting chance. I think 535 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 6: that Tulane is a good football team, but they're playing 536 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 6: an old miss team that beat the snot out of 537 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 6: them and looks like beating the snot out of them again. 538 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 6: They just outclass them. Same thing is true of Oregon. 539 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 6: I think the only way that Games Madison can actually 540 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 6: turn this into a game they win is frankly, playing 541 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 6: Oregon football. You're gonna have to run the ball a 542 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 6: bunch and you're gonna have to get the ball back 543 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 6: quickly by getting off the field on third down each 544 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 6: and every time. And even then you probably talk about 545 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 6: a one score game where Oregon still has an explosive 546 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 6: player too, where they can beat you. I mean they 547 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 6: got they can beat you special teams, they can beat 548 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 6: you in the kicking game, and Dante Moore doesn't make 549 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 6: a habit of throwing the football to other people. It's 550 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 6: it would be unfair to say they don't have a chance, 551 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 6: But if you're expecting blowouts, I would be looking for 552 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 6: both of those games. 553 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 2: Last thing, can you believe that in the second year 554 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 2: of this true playoff, Indiana is the number one overall seed, 555 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 2: like in all the stories, the number one overall seed. Again, 556 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to win it. I personally 557 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:19,959 Speaker 2: am not sure they're the best team, but when they 558 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 2: played Oregon, they beat him. When they played Ohio State, 559 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 2: they beat him. Like, I don't really you can't take 560 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 2: any of that away from them. But of all the stories, 561 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 2: I can't think of any that's bigger than that. 562 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 6: And I think that is also rounding out the point 563 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 6: that we were making about the Heisman Trophy, right, Like, 564 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 6: if I asked you to name another player on that 565 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 6: team not named for Nana Mendoza, I don't think that 566 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 6: many people could do it, right, And that's that's the 567 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 6: point is, how does the number one ranked team in 568 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 6: the country have only one guy you recognize and a 569 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 6: coach who's ubiquitous? Right, everybody knows Kurt signety name. But 570 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 6: if you ask me in twenty twenty two if this 571 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 6: is a possibility, I tell you absolutely not. It's the 572 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 6: room in a football program, FBF history and being the 573 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 6: number one ranked teams going to a college football playoffs. 574 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 6: Absolutely not. But it is one of the things that 575 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 6: I think is really really cool about this era of 576 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 6: college football. You can have five and seven Texas Christians 577 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 6: turn into a national champion, national title runner up. You 578 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 6: can have Indiana flip it's an entire roster in a 579 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 6: year back to back and still be just as good. Now, 580 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 6: that's one of the reason we looked to the coaches 581 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 6: and not to the players. But no, I could not 582 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 6: believe it if you told me two years ago, and 583 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 6: even now I'm trying to educate people. Doug, that's the 584 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 6: best team in the sport dog that I'm not laying 585 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 6: that on Thick. It's me watching them. They get off 586 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 6: the ball, they got I think the best offensive line 587 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 6: in football. They fly to the football on defense, and 588 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 6: D'Angelo Ponds did everything he could to keep Jeremiah Smith 589 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 6: and Carnell Tay in check, and he did what everybody 590 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 6: else couldn't do, just do it long enough to where 591 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 6: they could score one briggin touchdown right by Yet I 592 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 6: take that back, Texas did it. Texas did in week one. 593 00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 6: Nobody else has been able to do that. So if 594 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 6: they get asked anybody else, come on, man, like who 595 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 6: else is in their way? Georgia, who don't they could 596 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 6: beat them? That's the question I would ask, like, can 597 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 6: we not get passed the part where their number one? 598 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 6: But who would you pick to beat them? Right now? 599 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 2: I mean again, I so much of it is about 600 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 2: name brands and they're breaking through. And look the other 601 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 2: part too, it is they're really well funded, they have 602 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 2: really good players, and they're really really well coached, and 603 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 2: they it's I wouldn't pick it. How can you pick 604 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 2: anybody to beat them? Because nobody has beaten them, you know, 605 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 2: quality utter back play, quality running game, as you point 606 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 2: as you point out, I mean the big thing is upfront. 607 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 2: They're awesome and they're athletic in the defensive backfield. 608 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 6: One note that I actually want to put in your 609 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 6: brain to just think about the rest of the way 610 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 6: through this playoff. Look at the SEC, Look at the 611 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 6: Big Ten. The last two national champions have come out 612 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 6: of the Big Ten. It's been back to back years 613 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 6: that the SEC has also been boxed out of the 614 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 6: national championship game. That happens the third time. The balance 615 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 6: of power has shifted north in the Mason diction line, 616 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 6: and we haven't seen that in quite sometimes. That I 617 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 6: think is also fascinating, and Indiana is at the front 618 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 6: of that. 619 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 2: No question. I also think it's that, you know, I'm 620 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 2: sure you heard that podcast with Coach oh where he 621 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 2: was talking about paying players back in the day, you know, 622 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 2: bringing in money through the back, like everyone in the 623 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 2: sport knew that the SEC was buying guys a long 624 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 2: time ago. Now the Big Ten can legally buy guys like, hey, 625 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 2: a little bit different sport. What's that The old Dion 626 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 2: Sanders line ain't no fun when the Rabbits got the gun. 627 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 2: RJ the best appreciate you taking my, uh my apology, 628 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 2: and we'll talk to you very soon. 629 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 6: All right, brother, talk soon. 630 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 2: That's r J Young, Fox Sports college football host and 631 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 2: the number one of the number one show podcast on 632 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 2: Fox Sports for over forty years, Tyrak has been helping 633 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 2: customers find the right tires for how, what, where they drive, 634 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 2: ship fast and free and back by free road ass 635 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 2: protection with convenient slation options like mobile tire installation.

I wanted to be 666 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 2: Philip Rivers, but I think, uh, for Phil Rivers is 667 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 2: gonna be worse because when he was done, he was done, 668 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,240 Speaker 2: arm was shot. He's never been able to move, whereas 669 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 2: Joe Flacco has. You know, he got one team to 670 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 2: the playoffs and then this year he just kind of 671 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 2: stabilized the Bengals. I'm gonna go Philip Rivers worse. 672 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,839 Speaker 4: You won He did win, yeah, you he won one game. 673 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 4: But it was a game that everybody saw because it 674 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 4: was a Thursday night contest, and yeah, there have been 675 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 4: more high points for Flaco for sure. For Better or 676 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:16,800 Speaker 4: Worse Doug Week fifteen primetime game Vikings Cowboys versus Steelers Dolphins. 677 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,319 Speaker 2: Dolphin Steelers is better, like we've talked about it, Like 678 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 2: the Dolphins haven't been horrible, still not completely out of 679 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 2: the playoff mix, and the Steelers got to win this game. 680 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 2: I think Dolphins Steelers. 681 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 4: I think that there's playoff implications, but I also think 682 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 4: the Cowboys being a draw. Seeing what happens with JJ 683 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 4: McCarthy in primetime is another conversation. And while the Vikings 684 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 4: aren't going to make the postseason, there's still still that 685 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 4: deal to deal with, all right. For Better or Worse 686 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:47,760 Speaker 4: Doug College Football Playoff Bracket, last year's bracket with Boise 687 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 4: and Arizona State getting buys versus this year's bracket with 688 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 4: James Madison and Tulane being in the field, it's better 689 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 4: or worse? 690 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,919 Speaker 2: This year's backet's better. I mean, you had those teams 691 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:02,800 Speaker 2: that were not really competitive and and now it allowed 692 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 2: them to be slightly more competitive because they're playing teams 693 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 2: coming off of the game, so they were a little 694 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 2: bit beaten up, but this year's a. 695 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 4: Better I'm gonna ask guy was Sam this question as well? Sam? 696 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 7: Do you like last year's bracket better or this year's 697 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 7: bracket better? I think I'm gonna lean towards this year's 698 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 7: bracket a little bit, A little bit. I think last 699 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 7: year gave us some good matchups. Now the games didn't 700 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 7: turn out to be good, but Tennessee, Ohio State was 701 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:31,240 Speaker 7: such a conversation piece. 702 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 4: That was a blowout Indiana Notre Dame leading up to it. Again, 703 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 4: it was in a close game, but still there was excitement. 704 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 4: And then the quarterfinals provided us with uh. I mean, 705 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 4: Arizona State, Texas was quite the game. 706 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,359 Speaker 7: I have noticed James Madison social media talking a little ish, 707 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 7: a little trash with Oregon. That'll end well and that's fun. 708 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 4: Let's do it. That's the thing about Dan Lanning and 709 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 4: Oregon and Oregon fans. They never like take things like 710 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 4: over the top or they never have a chip on 711 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,919 Speaker 4: their shoulder, never take especially never, never at all. They'll 712 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 4: never use something to be that isn't something to use 713 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,799 Speaker 4: it as motivation. They never do that to win like 714 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,400 Speaker 4: sixty ninety three. No, never right for better or worse, 715 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 4: Big brand left out of the bracket? What's worse that 716 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,319 Speaker 4: Notre Dame?

Is worse when Duke's not in? Okay, 724 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 2: the College Faball playoff will survive. Is it better when 725 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 2: Notre Dame is in? Yeah? Yeah, same with Texas. But 726 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,840 Speaker 2: it's it's they haven't been in plenty of times, and 727 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 2: it's fine without Duke. It's they're just a draw, a massive. 728 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,359 Speaker 4: Draw, all right? For better or worse? The offseason?
