WEBVTT - UFO: A Star is Born 0:00:02.160 --> 0:00:07.280 Welcome to the Solid Verbal. Hell for me, I'm a man. 0:00:07.520 --> 0:00:10.119 I've heard so many players say, well, I want to 0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:12.040 be happy, you want to be happy for a day? 0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:14.440 Edith state is that woo woom? 0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:17.080 And Dean and Tye. 0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:25.320 Welcome back to the UFO Show. Mister Rubinstein. My name 0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:29.120 is ty hilden Brandt. His name, of course is Dan Rubinstein. 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:33.040 This is the Solid Verbal, but on Fridays, on Fridays, 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.920 this is the UFO Show where we talk about big 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:42.919 picture subjects. While we're on this Friday Orbit. This currently 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:46.000 unnamed you Friday. 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:49.720 Maybe that's the U. Maybe it's unnamed this week. 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:55.600 It could be undeterred, unturned, deterred, undeterred Friday Orbit. 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:58.800 I like it the Big ten and potentially the PAC 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:03.520 twelve restart, possibly in the case of the BAC twelve 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:07.840 their football season in the fall of twenty twenty. Undeterred. 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:10.400 What about underrated? 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:13.880 As we think forward to our game that we're going 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:15.040 to play this evening. 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:20.080 I don't know if it's fully underrated, though, I think 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:22.679 what we're our game, which we can call right now 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:25.400 and you can play our kind of spooky ambient music 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:30.520 is called Stars Are Born. So I'm not saying these 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.560 players that we will be naming after we discuss some 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:38.040 news are underrated. I'm just saying they are going to 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:42.520 come into their own. They're not fully formed like stars 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:46.360 proto stars. I learned that's what stars are called when 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.000 they're infant stars. And I had to look up how 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:54.160 stars are formed on NASA dot gov because my science 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.240 knowledge is lacking. But that's why we're here tying the 0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:58.440 while we're undeterred. 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:02.600 Friday orbit could be undulating too. It's always an option 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:04.440 throwing that out. 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:08.360 Stars are born within the clouds of dust and scattered 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.639 throughout most galaxies. A familiar example of such this is 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.320 from NASA dooc gov as a dust cloud is the 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:18.040 Orion nebula. Of course, really fun phrasing to say, turbulence 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.200 deep within these clouds gives rise to knots, not with 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.400 sufficient mass that the gas and dust can begin to 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:28.079 collapse under its own gravitational attraction. So I guess it's 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:32.760 sort of foggy gassy explosions. 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:32.160 Something like that. 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.960 Yeah, I mean it takes millions of years literal explosions 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.640 in the sky right for these types of reactions to occur. 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.200 Dan, Yeah, explosions in the sky. That's what we're going 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.359 to call it. So we are going to look at 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:47.680 stars just forming right now that are I don't know 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.320 if it's a new starter. I don't know if it's 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:52.720 someone who showed potential limited action last year, a transfer, 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:57.200 a highly touted recruit, somebody making a leap. But before 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.600 we get there, Ty, and we'll play that music once again. 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.880 I promise, Yes, should we get into some news, let's 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:06.000 get into Solid Verbal universe. The universe is a space term. Yeah, 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.280 and uh, just college football. Let's do it. 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.480 At long last, Dan, we have break no. 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.680 Boop, My god in heaven. We have been teasing this 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.680 for as far back as I can remember. Now my 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.000 memory ain't as good as it used to be, Dan, 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:33.640 But for at least the last couple months, you and 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.080 I have been kicking around things that we're working on 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:39.240 in the lab, and well, we're finally at a point 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:42.600 where we're ready to start revealing more details about the 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:47.360 forthcoming Solid Verbal podcast network. 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.000 Yeah, long has to be coming. 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:51.440 In the lab. 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.840 And not only are we pleased to announce the Soliverble 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:59.080 podcast network, we're also very excited to announce the first 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:04.520 podcast new podcast on the solivrable podcast networked in and 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.920 not only that, but the first episode is out there now. 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:10.680 We did it under all y'all's noses so that you 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.920 can move right from what you're doing here and listen 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:17.120 to something we're calling Big Boy Bets. 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:17.840 Here's the trailer. 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:21.320 Have a listen, hey, everybody, and welcome to. 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:22.360 Big Boy Bets. 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:27.520 Big Boy Bets a show that celebrates college football courage 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:32.760 with your hard earned currency, and celebrates big boys of 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.560 all shapes and sizes, because being a big boy, Jeff 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.880 has nothing to do with your size or gender, but 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:45.479 rather a state of mind that separates you from mediums everywhere. 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:47.720 My name is Dan Rubinstein. On the other line is 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.000 Jeff Schwartz, arguably the biggest boy of all big boys. Jeff, 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:51.919 How's life? 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.920 It is fantastic, you know, being a big boys much 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:58.640 being called fat, So I appreciate going with big boys 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:01.800 that are just fat people who gamble, which there's a 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:03.080 lot of us, though a lot. 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:06.800 Of fat people gamble on our chalkboard of potential names. 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.400 Fat people who gamble I don't think. 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:13.359 Was in the final flour, but Big Boy Bets is 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:17.000 a much nicer way to talk about gambling. And food 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.520 and being big and everything we're going to do on 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:20.200 this podcast. 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:24.400 I agree. So everybody, take a second. Subscribe to Big 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:28.440 Boy Bets wherever you listen to podcasts. We've got big picks, 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:33.640 big stories, big guests, you name it, and it's all 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.760 for you. See as soon that was great, let me 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:37.200 stop this. 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:38.720 Whoo. 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.279 So this is exciting, Dan, tell me more about Big 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:41.880 Boy Bets. 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.799 All right. So, Big Boy Bets is the first part 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:51.240 on an expanding solid verbal universe universe say it, universe, universe, 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.640 universe universe. It's the first part. There are there are 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:57.120 there's more news to come, I believe within the next 0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.479 I don't know week or so something like that. We 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:03.200 are hoping dotting eyes and crossing lowercase t's and jays 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.720 and all those sorts of things like that. So Big 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.800 Boy Bets, as you just heard, is a show I 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:12.200 co host with our dear friend Jeff Schwartz, stemming from 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:14.960 the fact that we used to host for ESPN plus 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.880 a college football picking show together as it relates to 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:22.400 wagering and betting, and also every time I eat food 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.240 with Jeff, he has to sit and explain to me 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:29.279 what his life is like as a very large human. 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.720 I'm not talking fat, I'm not talking tall, although he 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:36.080 is tall. I'm talking he just has mass and I 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:40.200 don't have mass. And so he explains to me, and 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:43.920 it's always wild and entertaining what he goes through as 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:47.920 a former NFL and obviously college football offensive lineman. And 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:51.440 so we are going to include that in the show 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:54.240 Big Boy Bets. And once again, as I mentioned in 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:55.800 the trailer, you do not have to be big. You 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:57.240 do not have to be a boy. It has nothing 0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.120 to do with your size or your gender to make 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:03.120 Big Boy Bets or learn or lead the lifestyle of 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.919 a big boy. So we're very excited because Jeff is 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:10.400 sort of endlessly fascinating to me when he talks about 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:13.640 his theories and how he lives his life. For example, 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.640 I know he loves DM music, but he would only 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:18.960 go to an EDM show if he is allowed to 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:23.520 sit down somewhere, which generally and typically is not the 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:27.080 point of an DM show. So just Jeff's Jeff's takes, 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:30.080 and I love them. So that is going to be 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:33.000 weekly throughout the college football season and hopefully beyond. But 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:36.040 we're going to be making picks and celebrating all things 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:40.000 big and boy, and it could be celebrating a large animal, 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:44.000 a large rock, a large town. Whatever. We're going to 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.000 celebrate an honor and can't wait to do more of it. 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.720 So the first episode is up. We're making picks for this. 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:54.400 This is a Friday, so it's tomorrow's games and we 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:59.200 talk about core body temperature. That's bodisode one, correct. 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:03.480 All right, Well, I'm excited to have this now as 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:08.040 part of our growing universe, and very excited to welcome 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:11.000 Jeff to the family. On timefront of the show call 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:16.040 siding yes, much more to come. We promised you elsewhere 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:22.360 in actual college football, non podcast network related news, the 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.880 Big Ten is back. We were down it back. We 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.240 were right what we called it. There was some speculation 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:32.640 that maybe it would be October tenth, the seventeenth flow 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:36.120 and behold, it's the twenty fourth. They're going to kick 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:41.120 off their season after a unanimous vote to resume competition 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:45.480 among the league's presidents and chancellors. They cited daily testing 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:51.000 capabilities and a stronger confidence in the latest medical information. 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:55.160 This was all announced on Wednesday morning, so when we 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:58.400 recorded our show that we dropped on Wednesday morning, that 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.840 of course was recorded as we said, at around five 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:04.360 pm on Tuesday evening. The news did come out the 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.840 very next day. It was not unexpected, but many folks 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.959 have been asking what what changed. What they're saying changed 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:16.800 is the daily testing capability and this stronger confidence, specifically 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:20.160 citing stronger confidence based on what the medical people are 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:20.600 telling them. 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:20.800 Dan. 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.920 So not sure how all this is going to work. 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.440 I do know we have to figure out a way 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:27.679 to do a. 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:28.640 Big ten preview. 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:32.200 Now, yes that's true amid games actually going on out there, 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:36.160 which would be new territory for us. But eight games 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:39.000 is the way it's looking. They're not going to have 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:44.520 the wiggle room during the season the way that the 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:48.320 SEC and the Big twelve and the ACC have kind 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:52.319 of done. But provided they can complete their season before 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.320 December twentieth, which is when selection day is for the playoff, 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.959 presumably these teams could and should be included in that discussion. 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.680 Yeah, and by wiggle room, you of course mean there's 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:07.319 no spare weeks to throw in a postponed and rescheduled 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:12.800 matchup the way other conferences. So that's interesting certainly because 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:18.800 if Big Twelve teams, namely perhaps ones that are teams 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.319 with playoff aspirations if they miss a game or two 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.199 and suddenly they go six and oh instead of eight 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:25.440 and o, nine and oh, seven and oh and other 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:27.760 teams that are competing are nine and oh, ten and oh, 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:32.320 eleven and oh something like that. That's interesting, or nine 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:34.960 and one ten and one is what is more impressive 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:39.480 right now, and that you also neglected to mention perhaps 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.760 the weirdest part of all of this, which is on 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:45.679 championship weekend, number one versus number one in the divisions 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.720 play each other as per usual and normal protocol, but 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.600 number two and number two play number three, and number 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.560 three play number four, number four play and so forth, 0:10:54.640 --> 0:11:00.360 so we get a full championship slate, I guess, instead 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.720 of strictly a championship game. So it's going to be different. 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:06.520 And tip of the hat to the Big ten for 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:09.240 being as specific as possible about the testing and how 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:12.640 often they're, you know, doing these these antigen tests, and 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:16.280 they're setting up a cardiovascular database to to be as 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.000 transparent as possible so experts can study the result of 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:23.319 positive tests on athletes, on high level athletes, and that 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.679 anybody who does test positive will have to be cleared 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:32.680 from a cardiovascular perspective, so it seems like they're taking 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.480 all protocols. I guess there's a red, orange, and green 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.400 level both as relates to the team and to the 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:42.400 population as a whole. And if positive tests dip too 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:46.320 far into a certain percentage, then the team has to 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:50.480 take a week off. So there there, it's spelled out 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.840 better than it ever has been within the Big Ten. 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:57.040 So hopefully this is a difference maker and players can 0:11:57.040 --> 0:12:00.640 stay healthy and teams can make informed decisions and everybody 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:04.360 around players has a certain amount of peace of mind 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:06.760 given the structures in place. 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:11.600 Well, with that news coming out, the next logical question 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:15.320 was what would the Big Tens dance partner do the 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:19.400 PAC twelve your recall. When the Big Ten announced its news, 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:23.920 the PAC twelve also followed suit. This is initially when 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:28.000 they decided to postpone until spring. Now, yeah, the dust 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.199 has been kicked up on the PAC twelve as well. 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:33.920 There are more hurdles, at least as it relates to 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:38.080 local governments. I saw the governors of both California and 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:43.080 Oregon had initially posed some issue with this being so 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.080 it was not going to be allowed. It seems as 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.839 if that part has been rectified. Dan, maybe you can 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.000 clear that up for me, because I don't fully understand 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:55.080 what all that entails. But yeah, it also seems as 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:58.160 if the PAC twelve may try to shoot for that 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.160 very same weekend. Whether or not that's attainable remains to 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.240 be seen. It sounds like it might be easier for 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:06.920 the PAC twelve to shoot from maybe early November. Of course, 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:09.480 that make it very difficult to squeeze it under the 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:11.079 wire if they want to be part of the playoff. 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:13.960 But I think this is all going to a place 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:17.280 where we've got Power five football in its entirety in 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:21.679 some way, shape or form before the end of October 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:23.720 or first weekend of November. 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:28.400 Yeah, hypothetically. Hypothetically, Yeah, so some of it, as best 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.400 as I can tell, as best as I know and 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.920 from what I've read, the hurdles that the PAC twelve 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:38.160 at least was they were facing. It was a matter 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.280 of the state of California and the state of Oregon 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:44.720 not allowing for gatherings and sports gatherings and practices and competition. 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.920 Whereas now Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, and Kate Brown, 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:52.760 the governor of Oregon, have essentially given waivers to the 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.959 f I guess, not FBS, but the Power five schools 0:13:56.000 --> 0:14:00.280 looking to restart perhaps this fall in twenty twenty Oregon, 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:04.400 Oregon State in Oregon, and Stanford, cal usc UCLA in California. 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.280 So that's a hurdle. Obviously, the air quality with all 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:11.320 of the fires is a more natural hurdle, I suppose. 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.640 And so they're still figuring all that out because there 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:17.920 aren't indoor facilities everywhere. We don't want to, you know, 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:23.040 see athletes practicing playing exerting force with possible danger to 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:26.560 their lungs. But yeah, that is a hurdle that appears 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:29.240 to be cleared. I did see our friend Bruce Feldman. 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.480 He wrote a piece in which he quoted he was 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:35.240 an anonymous PAC twelve coach who I'm getting really good 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:39.120 I think at deciphering the speech patterns of anonymous coaches 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:41.440 and figuring out who they are. It sounded a whole 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:43.480 lot like a coach who coached a team I used 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:45.760 to root for, who now coaches a different Pac twelve team. 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.440 But it's just a guess on my front. But the 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:52.280 coach seemed particularly salty about the conference not doing what 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:55.280 was right for the player's health and safety, saying that 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:58.040 they were essentially following the Big Ten out of public 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.440 pressure and that they were going to be practice too 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:03.400 soon and playing too soon, and that he was worried 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.360 about a number of injuries much more so than normal 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:10.520 occurring because of undue stress and pushing athletes too far, 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:15.000 too quickly. So we'll see what happens. I know Oregon 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:18.120 dismissed its players until they knew more information, and now 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:24.240 they're coming back and quarantining, so I suppose, Yeah, October 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:27.720 seems ambitious. Maybe early November, maybe Halloween weekend, so the 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.440 very very end of October. But there's no way they're 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.280 gonna be able to squeeze in enough games, it seems 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:38.400 before that December twentieth selection show for the College Football Playoff. 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.880 Not that the Pac twelve is a terrific record sending 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:44.200 teams to the College Football Playoff, but if a six 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:47.600 and oh team that dominates its schedule will be at 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:52.960 I don't know USC or Oregon, whoever it's, and you're 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.160 going to start making arguments, just like the Big Ten, 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:57.080 like what does a does a six and oh move 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.000 the needle? A seven and oh move the needle like 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:02.440 a ten and one, a nine to one. It's it's 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:05.200 going to be a very I think, probably not, but 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:08.040 it'll be an interesting discussion depending on what that six 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:11.480 or seven and oh looks like. I'm curious. I'm curious 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:14.440 to see what types of just out of thin air 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:16.720 arguments we're going to have to construct. 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:20.400 Oh yeah, it's going to be a very interesting fall, 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:24.080 to say the least. We have not seen schedules yet, correct, 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.080 So we need schedules. 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:27.320 I think before we can do our previews. 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:30.840 But it is coming. We will do our best to 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:33.080 try and stay on top of it here. But at 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.280 long last the news is official, at least on the 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:40.240 Big Ten side, and we'll see see where things go, 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:43.160 see what kind of format this takes on, and what 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.400 kind of logistical challenges there are in front of us. 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:47.840 Now, I should add on that. 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.320 Very point, just because there is this now desire and 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:55.720 apparently capacity to conduct games this fall from the Big 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:58.520 Ten and other conferences, it does not mean by any 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:01.200 stretch that the virus is defeated. 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:03.080 Right. We're seeing that now. 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:08.240 This very weekend with Charlotte and UNC being canceled, not postponed, 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:12.760 just straight up canceled. Also, the UVA in Virginia Tech 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:17.160 game which was previously postponed. They've got a new date, 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:20.040 which is December of the twelfth, to try and replay 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.600 that Commonwealth Cup game. So, you know, this is going 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:27.520 to be an interesting state of affairs, especially for the 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:30.760 Big Ten not having that buffer that they can work 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:34.480 with with regard to scheduling. What happens if a game 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:40.400 is in a similar state postponed, we've got positive COVID tests, 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:43.679 How or when can they even replay that game? You 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:47.280 know a lot of unanswered questions here, but we're just 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:51.320 driving right into it and well again, see what happens. 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:54.280 Yeah, I mean, that's all right. And you know we've 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:56.879 seen with the Big Ten. We saw well Wyatt Davis, 0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:59.880 the star offensive lineman for Ohio State. He is now 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:03.440 trying to opt back in after opting out, given where 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:06.199 he thought the Big Ten was going before and you know, 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:08.040 a lack of Ohio State season, it was going to 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:11.280 declare for the NFL Draft. I did see Dylan McCaffrey, 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:14.160 who seemed to be in the running for the Michigan 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.720 starting quarterback job. He decided to opt out of the 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:18.719 season and he has entered that I don't know if 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:20.639 it's the transfer portal whatever he has entered, he is 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:23.320 transferring out of Michigan. Oh, we should do. We got 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:27.280 a good transfer portal with our space UFO theme here actually, 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:32.400 so we'll file that away. So. Yeah, there's still movements 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:35.120 across the sport as it relates to opting out opting in, 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:38.560 And it's going to be fast and furious in terms 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:41.480 of trying to track everything and what it means and 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:44.520 where everything is going. But that's why we're doing three 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:49.000 plus sneak sneak preview tees shows a week here. So 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:53.840 I'm fascinated by this all. And you know, most of 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:55.840 thirty four percent of this is going to be rendered, 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:58.720 you know, old by the time this show goes up. 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:01.280 Can we play a game? Can we do that? 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:03.119 I want to play a space game. Let's do it. 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:04.919 Let's play that creepy music. 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:08.680 Dan, did you know about star formation before I paced 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:09.639 it in that paragraph? 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:11.360 Generally? 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:14.159 Yeah? Like I know, somebody were to stop you on 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:18.560 the street and say, Tyler James hilden Brandt, what is 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:19.920 the formation of a star? 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:20.240 Like? 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:24.080 Yeah, I mean did you answer it? Yeah? 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:28.360 Of course, Okay, I don't know. I couldn't really, I'm 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:31.399 just supposed to know. And as a star exploding a 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:33.320 nova or super nova, is that what that is? 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:38.320 I think a super nova is bigger than a nova. 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:41.880 Yeah, okay, well I think we can agree on that 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:44.359 a super nova is the biggest explosions that humans have 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:48.520 ever seen. Okay, super powerful explosion of a star. 0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:55.520 And here today a nova is from maybe a white 0:19:55.680 --> 0:20:00.600 dwarf star and it's not quite as elaborate reserves. 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:05.800 Let's get into explosions of talent. Let's get into. 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:07.960 So pro Let's get into it. Let's do it. 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.480 The names and I will give you your first pick 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:14.720 here and I want to try and be as specific 0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:17.560 as possible. You can't say sam Ellinger. Sam Ellinger is 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:19.919 a star. Sam Ellinger' is a star because he is 0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:23.800 nationally known. He has performed well a lot, not always, 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:26.000 but well a lot on the national stage. You know, 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:28.520 going back to that USC overtime win, you know, has 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:31.480 win over Georgia with Texas, we know Sam Ellinger is 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:34.520 a star. There is star power, star potential. I am 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:38.560 talking about who to you looks like they're going to 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:42.000 come into their own as a nationally not conference wide, 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:43.320 not statewide. 0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:46.800 Known name nationally subjective? 0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:50.040 Is it subjective on my end because I'm the decider here, 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:53.359 it kind of is yes, But nonetheless we plow forward. 0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:55.920 I'm going to throw out a name from Penn State. 0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:57.200 How do you feel about Journey Brown. 0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:01.280 I think that's a good it's a good candidate. He 0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:06.280 has performed on the national stage some but he was 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:09.639 sharing was a Noah Kane got a number of carries 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:11.919 last year, and it looks like Journey Brown with the 0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:15.600 restart of Penn State season. Yeah, Michaeh Parsons definitely had 0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:19.760 already shown star stuff, right, Journey Brown hit me with 0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:20.480 the case. 0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:23.360 Journey Brown, I think is going to be the featured 0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:26.920 back in this Penn State backfield. It should be a 0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:31.240 very good backfield. There's no doubt about that, no doubt 0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:33.200 about it. You know, he's going to have some help. 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:35.879 He won't have to shoulder the entire load. But I 0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:39.040 think he's the featured guy. Last year, got the most 0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:41.919 carries off anyone in the backfield, had twelve touchdowns, so 0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:46.960 got the job done down at the goal line. He 0:21:48.720 --> 0:21:52.080 averaged I want to say, close to seven yards of carry. 0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:57.480 And so if Sean Clifford, if Sean Clifford can be 0:21:57.520 --> 0:22:00.639 a little bit more consistent against better teams in the game, 0:22:01.320 --> 0:22:04.879 that should presumably open up running lanes for guys like 0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:09.040 Journey Brown. And he's versatile in what we've seen of him, 0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:13.240 very versatile. So my guess is, if we see another 0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:16.439 season like you had last year, if Sean Clifford can 0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:20.200 take that step forward, he's up over a thousand yards easy, 0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:22.720 maybe gets a little bit more active in the passing 0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:25.280
