Speaker 1: slice spread. Where were you on May eighteenth and nineteenth?

5
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,639

6
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: people one day, Well, you could tell them you were

7
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: right there smack dab in the middle of a knife

8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: fight in the sec West. We are jam packed high

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,279
Speaker 1: at top a suspenseful downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Saban versus Jim Bow.

10
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: We're not gonna waste much time. We're going to get

11
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: into that tonight. I got a lot to talk about

12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: with that, got several angles. Spent the entire day on

13
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: the eye, Josh. It is gasping for breath. It's on

14
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: the red battery level right now. But I got some

15
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: good feedback, got some good intel. A lot of people

16
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: behind the scenes had a lot of things to say

17
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: that they didn't necessarily want to say publicly, and so

18
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: why not say it for them? We were also one

19
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: hundred days away from kickoff twenty twenty two. I've got

20
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: a lot of things to talk about there. Our bold

21
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: Prediction segment hits chapter nine tonight, I have suggested we

22
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: just start using WrestleMania Roman numerals on the graphic, and

23
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: Jesse and Company have acquiesced there. We got a loaded mailbag.

Speaker 1: Jordan Addison has committed to USC. We've got a legend

25
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,759

Speaker 1: subscribe on pod subscribing to the YouTube channel wherever you are.

43
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: Thank you for being here. Let's dive into this. Ahem,

44
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: what a surreal twenty four hours. I don't know what

45
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: you were doing last night. I mean, I was minding

46
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: my own business, and all of a sudden, I was

47
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: scrolling through Twitter and I saw a quote that I

48
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: thought was fake, but I saw a video and I

49
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: knew that couldn't be a deep fake. There's no anecdote.

50
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: I don't have any fancy metaphor for you. I'm just

51
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: telling you, I don't think I've ever witnessed anything quite

52
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: like we have seen over the last twenty four hours

53
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: from Nick Saban and Alabama, from Jimbo Fisher at Texas

54
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: A and M I mean, Jimbo takes to the podium

55
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 1: today in response to what Nick Saban said last night,

56
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: and I thought he was going to step up to

57
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: be honest with you and just kind of refute some

58
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: of the allegations. Well he did that, but he went

59
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: a lot further and took a flamethrower to every fiber

60
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: of Nick Saban's being. We had an insult metaphor that

61
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: we kept track of in real time. Narcissist was used,

62
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: despicable half a dozen times, was used, referred to Saban

63
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: as God twice. Now you notice no one pushed back

64
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: on that. Today. It reminded me the first time I

65
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: ever went to a game at Bama that Nick Saban

66
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: was coaching. I don't condone what I'm about to say.

67
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: I didn't like the poster, but it is reality. There

68
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: was a guy holding up a poster at college game

69
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: day that said Nick Saban died from my sins. So

70
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: there are people out there who do sort of kind

71
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: of deify these head coaches. Again, don't like that. You

72
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: know my faith and you know my background, But where

73
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: is your mind on all this? Right now, I'll tell

74
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: you where mine is. Because I got so many thoughts,

75
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: I wanted to start the show early tonight. Management saw

76
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: fit to kind of rein me in and let's start

77
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: this thing at a normal time. I know that most

78
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: of you have already heard the sound from last night,

79
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: but I do think that civilizations thousands of years from

80
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: now will probably study May nineteenth in the year of

81
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: Oarlow twenty twenty two, and they will need proper context.

82
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: So for the couple of you who haven't heard, Let's

83
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: go back to last night Birmingham Alabama speaking function. I've

84
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: got a lot to talk about with this. I've spoken

85
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: to folks who were there, I've spoken to folks behind

86
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: the scenes, so I've got a lot to say on

87
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: the other side of this. Here's Nick Saban last night.

88
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: It's not supposed to be something where people come and

89
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: make money and you make a decision about where you

90
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: go to school based on how much money you're going

91
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 2: to make. You should make a decision based on where

92
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: you have the best chance to develop as a person,

93
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 2: as a student and as a player, which is what

94
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: we've always tried to major in. And we're going to

95
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: continue to do that, and hopefully there's enough people out

96
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 2: there that want to do it. But I know the

97
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: consequence is going to be difficult for the people who

98
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 2: are spending tons of money to get players. And you've

99
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: read about them, you know who they are. I mean,

100
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: we were second in recruiting last year and m was first,

101
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: and them bought every player on their team, made a

102
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: deal for name, image of likeness.

103
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: All right.

104
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 2: We didn't buy one player, all right, But I don't

105
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 2: know if we're going to be able to sustain that

106
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: in the future because more and more people are doing it.

107
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: That's Nick Saban again at a function last night. Got

108
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: more to say about it in just a second, so

109
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: suffice to say he's not happy with the structure of NIL.

110
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: We saw Nick Saban go many steps further than we've

111
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: seen him go in the past, and he mentioned schools

112
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: by name. Jimbo Fisher was not going to let that rest,

113
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: nor did anyone expect he was. So. This morning, as

114
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: you're eating your cheerios, all of a sudden, there comes

115
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: the flash on the phone. Jimbo Fisher's got a press

116
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: conference imprompt too, so impromptu. He wore jeans to it,

117
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: and the water bottle didn't even have a label on it.

118
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: Here's Jimbo Fisher in College station.

119
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 3: First of all, say, it's a shame that we have

120
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 3: to do this. It's really despicable. It's despicable that somebody

121
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 3: can say things about somebody and an organ. More importantly,

122
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 3: seventeen year old kids. You're taking shots at seventeen year

123
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 3: old kids and their families that they broke state laws.

124
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 3: They're all money. We bought every player on this group.

125
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 3: We never bought anybody. No rules were broken, nothing was

126
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 3: done wrong. It was all in the and the way

127
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 3: we do things, the ethics in which we do things,

128
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 3: and these families. It's despicable that a reparable head coach

129
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 3: could come out and say this. When he doesn't get

130
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 3: his way or things don't go his way, a narcissist

131
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 3: in him doesn't allow those things to happen. It's ridiculous.

132
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 3: But when he's not on top, and the parody in

133
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 3: college football he's been talking about, go talk to coaches

134
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 3: who coached for him. You'll find out all the parody.

135
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 3: Go dig into wherever he's been.

136
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: We've never seen anything like that play out publicly, at

137
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: least in a long long time. That is not happening

138
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: in Mike Slive's SEC. Now, it did happen in Greg

139
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: Sankei's SEC. But I've also got something to say about

140
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: him because he, the Commissioner of the SEC, has since

141
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: publicly reprimanded both of them. Did you ever think that

142
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: you're going to see Nick Saban publicly reprimanded by the

143
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: office that some of you, especially in the YouTube Chad

144
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: happened to claim that he runs. Here's what I want

145
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: to ask you. Let's get serious about this for a second,

146
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: because we could take the high road and we could

147
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: just move on. But when the world wants to take

148
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: the high road tonight. But I do want to ask

149
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: you this. Did you hear that most people did? Then

150
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: I want to ask you, did you really hear what

151
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: you thought you heard? So I want you to frame

152
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: in your mind without going back and listening again, what

153
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: did Nick Saban say? What did jimbo Fisher say? What

154
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: was really the key? If you had to take away

155
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: one or two things, What were the biggest takeaways? So

156
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: I talked to a ton of people around both programs today.

157
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: I talked to coaches, I mean, anyone who was willing

158
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: to talk with any kind of informed opinion on this.

159
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: I talked to him. This is in no particular order.

160
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna I aggregated as many thoughts as I

161
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: could gather today from people. Nick Saban was very much

162
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: out of line last night. He knows that. I think

163
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: he since went on Sirius XM earlier today and admitted such.

164
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: So he apologized for it. I think he knew it

165
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: moments after the event concluded. I also have it on

166
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: very good authority that that was not an event last

167
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: night that was advertised as being open to the media.

168
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: So I'm not excuse making for Nick Saban. Please don't

169
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: misunderstand me. That's why I led with he's out of line.

170
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: He said something stupid last night. He shouldn't have said it.

171
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: I think what he perceived that to be was a

172
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: closed environment where he was talking to some supporters of

173
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: the University of Alabama. Now, any of you who have

174
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: ever been in that setting, I don't care if it's

175
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: Missouri football, I don't care if it's Illinois football or

176
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: Alabama football. If you're in that setting, there's a reason

177
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: why those are close to the media, cause things like

178
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: that actually are not that uncommon for that setting. But

179
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: at the same time, when you're the most high profile

180
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: figure in the sport, even if there's not a five

181
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: thousand dollars camera on a tripod in there, you got these.

182
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: You got iPhones in there where in my case, I

183
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: Josh is available for purchase soon. We're working with Apple

184
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: on that. So Nick Saban sad some stupid stuff last night.

185
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: He has since retracted on that. He said he's sorry.

186
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: I wanted the focus to be on the structure and

187
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: what's wrong with the sport rather than individual names. I

188
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: talked about Texas, A and M talked about Jackson State,

189
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: which in and of itself is just a wild headline

190
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: that you would never would have Blee five years ago,

191
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: talked about Miami briefly. That's point one. Point two is

192
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: the personal stuff from Jimbo this morning, I thought was

193
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: way over the line because I didn't expect it from him.

194
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: Now here's what I do understand. What I do understand

195
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: is getting really been out of shape as he should have,

196
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: as I would have been at someone hurling allegations my way,

197
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: whether they're true or not. You and I will discuss

198
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: together in just a second, because we've already talked about it.

199
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: If you have watched this program for any length of time,

200
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: you remember we had him on the show. We had

201
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: Jimbo Fisher on the show, and famously he didn't wait

202
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: until May eighteenth or nineteenth he said that day and

203
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: I all had nothing to do with this. This was

204
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: not some headline from him. What he said earlier today

205
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: is not a headline. He's repeating what he's already said

206
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: many times. That's not what I had the problem with.

207
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: But man, he went after Nick Saban's character pretty hard,

208
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: and then at the end he withdrew himself from the

209
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: opportunity that a member of the assimpled media game him

210
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: there to just out and out say, are you claiming

211
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: Nick Saban's cheating? Yeah? No, they ask him, are you

212
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: claiming Nick sabus cheating? He said, I'd say that, of

213
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: course he didn't. I laugh because that part was kind

214
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: of funny, But overall, yeah, man, the personal attacks a

215
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: little bit over the line for me. But if I'm

216
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: a Texas A and M fan, I couldn't care less

217
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: about that. If I'm a Texas A and M fan,

218
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: I absolve you. Guys. I assume you would be aggravated

219
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,599
Speaker 1: at me saying that in the comments. But if I

220
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: were there with you, I'd be aggravated at me saying

221
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: that too. I get wanting your guy to fight for

222
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: your program and defend your program. If you're an Alabama

223
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: fan right now, you probably have nothing nice to say

224
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: about Jimbo Fisher. I get all that, okay. If anything,

225
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: I'm kind of speaking past those fan basis to the

226
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: ones that aren't involved. They've just been on the sideline

227
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: watching this over the last twenty four hours. The third

228
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: thing that I want to touch on, speaking of those sidelines,

229
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: is the shocking amount of silence outside of Oxford, Mississippi,

230
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: because Lane Kiffin there was no prayer he was going

231
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,599
Speaker 1: to keep his mouth shut on this outside of Oxford, Mississippi.

232
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: Who out spoke up today? Did you did you hear

233
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: anyone else speak up? Do you find that odd? Do

234
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: you find it odd that two of the highest paid

235
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: men in this profession and longest tenured men in this

236
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: profession publicly win at each other's throats in a manner

237
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: that really none of us have seen before or at

238
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: least in several years, and not anyone had really notable

239
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: public commentary on it. Well, I'll tell you why. I

240
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: talked to a lot of them behind the scenes today.

241
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: They're conflicted on it, because I believe it or not,

242
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: there are a lot of coaches out there that don't

243
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: like Nick Saban because he's beaten them a whole lot

244
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: on the recruiting trail on the field, and therefore they

245
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: may not have had the stones in the past to

246
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: speak out against them, but they sure did raw ron

247
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: wave that pump pump when someone finally did so. They

248
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: liked that aspect. But those same folks listened to Saban

249
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: last night, and they would readily tell you, well, they

250
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: told me at least today he was right. Now, I

251
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: may not like the guy, but he was right. We

252
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: all think the same thing that he said is true.

253
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: And so they're looking there, they said, who do I

254
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: root for? What side do I take? Is there any

255
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: side to take? Are we doing some of the things

256
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: that they are alleging that each one has done to

257
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: the other. So let's just keep our mouth shut. So

258
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: that was the modus operandi in a lot of athletic

259
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: departments today. Just shut up, let them fight it out.

260
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: It's may go on vacation. Just throw your phone in

261
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: a lake if you have to, don't say anything. And

262
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: then the day war on and war on and war on,

263
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: and the SEC commissioner was really nowhere to be found. Now,

264
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: I'll tell you how I perceived that, And it turned

265
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: out I may have been a little bit wrong, or

266
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: maybe I wasn't. In the past in the SEC, for

267
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: those unfamiliar, the commissioner before Greg Sinki was Mike's Slive.

268
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 1: He was around for a long time, and Mike Slive

269
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: swung a pretty big stick when it came to making sure.

270
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: None of this ever happened out in the open. Now

271
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: I get you in closed door setting and a spring meeting,

272
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: or if I get you one on one, or if

273
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: you're in my office, don't. I don't care. You can

274
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: shout at each other as loud as you want to,

275
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: but you're not going to do it publicly, because you're

276
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: not going to sully the good reputation of this brand

277
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: that we've built down here. Now, Greg Sank was there

278
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: and learned under Mike's life. He is now the commissioner

279
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: of the SEC. I'll tell you why. There was a

280
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: part of me that thought, maybe we don't hear from

281
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: Sankei at all today, because, more so than any other

282
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: conference commissioner out there, and certainly more so than his predecessors,

283
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: Greg Sank has exhibited the fact that he views this

284
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: as an entertainment product first and foremost. And so I

285
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: pictured SANKI possibly sitting in his office being disgusted with

286
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: what he saw. There's no part of me that thought

287
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: he liked it. But I thought he may look at

288
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: it and say, you know what they pay us these

289
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: billions of dollars from these networks for a reason. And

290
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: it's not always to keep everything in line and have

291
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: perfect harmony amongst ourselves if they want to go at

292
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: each other like five year olds. I'm not a kindergarten teacher.

293
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: This is not a playground. Okay, it's not going to

294
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: be my role to police all this. Having said that,

295
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: about three hours ago, they issue a public reprimand, and

296
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: so Greg Sankie slaps one wrist, slaps the other wrist.

297
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: I don't even know what actually goes into a public reprimand. Mean,

298
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a warning by a hall monitor,

299
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: I guess. But the fact of the matter is that

300
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: was issued. So anyone keeping score out there, that's one

301
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: check in each box. Sabing Fisher, public reprimands. I get

302
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: what sells here. I know what all you've been talking

303
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: about today. Trust me. I've looked at my phone, I've

304
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: looked at my DMS and inbox. I know what sells.

305
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: Like if I were to walk out in a food

306
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: court in them all and just yell sex, everybody stops.

307
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: Everybody stops. But if one guy who's making eight plus

308
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: million dollars a year calls the other guy who's making

309
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: eight plus million dollars a year a narcissist, and claims

310
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: that he's not really God like you think he is,

311
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: and calls him despicable half a dozen times. Then people

312
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: really really shut up and listen, and then they all

313
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: have opinions. So I get that's why that part of

314
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: this little squabble dominated the conversation today. But this is

315
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: where I want to get around to asking you what

316
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: the real argument was, And that's why I asked you

317
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: about five minutes ago, what was the real argument and

318
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: what was your biggest takeaway. I watched it and I

319
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: was just as shocked as you were. My jaw was

320
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: on the ground, just like yours. But then I absorbed

321
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: it a little bit and reflected on it and said,

322
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: I I actually think there was a lot more to

323
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: that than we just heard. So what's the disagreement is

324
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: the disagreement over what you think it is. The real

325
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: argument here is not what Nick Saban alleged. Nick Saban

326
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: called Jimbo Fisher out claimed he bought an entire class.

327
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: I read my DMS. Most of you think he did that. Anyway,

328
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: you don't think that now, just called Saban said it.

329
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: Jimbo Fisher said Nick Saban's done it his whole career,

330
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: nobody had their mind changed by that. A lot of

331
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: you already think Saban was doing that, so you didn't

332
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: just all a sudden this warning say yep, previously I

333
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: wasn't sold on it, But now that Jimbo said it

334
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: in jeans at a press conference on a random Wednesday

335
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: morning in Maine college station, Now and only now do

336
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: I think Sam has maybe been doing some things that

337
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: weren't above board. That stuff they alleged at each other

338
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: over the past twenty four hours. You either already thought

339
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: it was true or you still don't think it's true,

340
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: and you really couldn't care less what they're saying. That's

341
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: not the real question that I arrived at. The real

342
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: question was why did we see something last night and

343
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: this morning the likes of which we really haven't seen publicly.

344
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: And the reason is because the sport's in a place

345
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: that it's really never been. And that is where I

346
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: want to circle back to something else that was said

347
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: last night and something else that was said this morning,

348
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: which to me is the bigger takeaway than any amount

349
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: of bickering back and forth between those two, because there's

350
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: what we heard and then there's what was really said.

351
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: Oftentimes that's a theme on this show. You know, anytime

352
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: we bother to load up some sts, some audio, some

353
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: sound on tape, we're listening for what was actually said

354
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: and not just what we heard. So did you hear

355
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: what you thought you heard last night? This is what

356
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: I want to know, because what you think you heard

357
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: is just two grown men who make millions of dollars

358
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: going to each other's throats. And that happened last night,

359
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 1: it happened this morning. It's been an ugly scene. But

360
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: is that really the biggest takeaway? Because I'll tell you

361
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: the more I listened to it closely, what I took away,

362
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: and that's both of them agreed. They're holding the same

363
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: hymnal and singing the same verse when it comes to

364
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: the most important topic in the room. So here's some

365
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: of the sound that folks aren't playing for you today

366
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: that I think was actually the biggest takeaway. Roll at Colin.

367
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 2: We're just going to make a rule where everybody can transfer.

368
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 2: That's how that happened. So if the NCAA doesn't get

369
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: some protection from litigation, whether we got to get an

370
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 2: antitrust or whatever it is from a federal government standpoint,

371
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,959
Speaker 2: this is not going to change because they cannot enforce

372
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 2: their rules.

373
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 3: Just this way, I can find unified rules across this

374
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 3: country put things in place. That's what I want. I

375
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 3: don't know what those are. I'm not smart enough to

376
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 3: figure it out. I don't know what the anti trust

377
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 3: law is. All those bylaws said the government needs to

378
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 3: step in.

379
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: They argued back and forth, they win at each other's throats.

380
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: When it came to the most important topic in the room,

381
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: they were singing from the same hymnal. They were right

382
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: on page and they agree. You know why jimbo Fisher

383
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: and Nick Saban agreed on the most important point in

384
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: the room because virtually every leader in college football has

385
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: agreed on that point. It goes back to the old

386
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: school bus metaphor, which has been the crux of the

387
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: biggest problem I've had for quite a while with the

388
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: entire state of this There's a lot of nuance. You know,

389
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 1: you can't fit it in one tweet. So when you

390
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: say things like, boy, we got to rein this in

391
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 1: may even need some federal government assistance and anti trust

392
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: legislation automatically, that's just a bell in someone's mind. For

393
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: you don't want kids to make money. Well, that's not

394
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 1: the case. That's not the case at all. There are

395
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: folks like me and even folks like Nick Saban, who

396
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: say nine aisle's fine if it's used in the true

397
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: spirit of what NIL is supposed to be about. There

398
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: are consequences to having a true free market approach to

399
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,959
Speaker 1: this sport that no one wants to face. But there

400
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: are a lot of folks out there waving the free

401
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: market flag in college athletics that have no interest in

402
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: the consequences that would bear out. But when you start

403
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: having that conversation, it usually devolves into, well, quite frankly,

404
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: what we've seen in the last twenty four hours, which

405
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: is where you have to have leadership. You know, folks

406
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: like Nick Saban, folks like Jimbo Fisher, they got to

407
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: be a lot better because those are the ones and

408
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: conference commissioners, and I've told your TV executives play a

409
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 1: big part in this. They got to lead. If you

410
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: claim that you agree on the core matter here, which

411
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: is how you get some legitimate guidelines in this whole thing,

412
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: then you gotta lead, and you got to shut up

413
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: yelling at each other, and you got to pull in

414
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: the same direction. Because, in case you haven't noticed, the

415
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: old school bus metaphor still applies. You got a whole

416
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: bunch of people yelling in the passenger seats, and there's

417
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: no one at the wheel, no one. You think, well,

418
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: there's it'd be the conference commissioner up there. There should

419
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: be the college football commissioner up there. Well, we don't

420
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: have one of them. NCAA president's miia and has no

421
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: power to do anything regardless. And you got folks meanwhile,

422
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: a tier below, arguing about how big a playoff should be,

423
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: arguing about who's buying players. You can be very penny wise,

424
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: pound foolish in all this. Everything Saving and Jimbo Fisher

425
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: said about each other could be one hundred percent true.

426
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: And yet if that's where the focus is, you're still

427
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: missing the boat. You're missing the boat because if the

428
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: sport that you have made a very very handsome living

429
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: app is going to bear any resemblance to what you

430
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: came up coaching in, you've got to fork in the road.

431
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: Coming up, you got to fork in the road. And

432
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,959
Speaker 1: both of you and everyone else is freely admitting the

433
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: current governing body over this sport has no power to

434
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: control it. It's very unfortunate that the sport, because it

435
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: didn't take proactive measures years ago, finds itself in a

436
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: position where it has to look the way of Washington, DC.

437
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: But it does, and that's where we are right now.

438
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: I can promise you that folks in Congress are a

439
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: whole lot more likely to take you serious if they

440
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 1: don't turn on Sports Center or CBS Sports HQ in

441
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: the morning and see you calling each other despicable and

442
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: seeing what happened in Birmingham last night. It's just a

443
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: guess here. It's just a pretty good feel I have

444
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: that's you're a whole lot more likely to get what

445
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: you want. But I had a long conversation with someone

446
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 1: about this today about what's going to happen if you

447
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: get federal anti trust exemption for college football. That is

448
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: going to trigger a lot of people coming into the

449
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: college football space that really don't have the best interest

450
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 1: of the sport at heart, but they view it more

451
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: as a social issue at that point, because you're trying

452
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: to keep a lot of kids, some of whom grew

453
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: up very impoverished, away from money that they deserve. Well,

454
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: if you let me draw it up, no, I'm not

455
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm not at all, because I think it would be

456
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 1: very irresponsible, even if you got help from Congress, to

457
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,239
Speaker 1: be one of the power brokers in college football and

458
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: not understand we crossed the rubicon already and we've got

459
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: TV deals being signed in the billions. So if you're

460
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: talking about revenue sharing, even if we're not forced to

461
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: do it, it's the right thing to do. There's a

462
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: way to appease all parties here. There's a way to

463
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: feed all the mouths that are open, and there's a

464
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: way to do it responsibly where college football is able

465
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: to sustain itself as you've grown up knowing it, or

466
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: you can just sit around and bicker with each other

467
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: and let it go off the rails, and then who

468
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 1: in the world knows what we have five years from now.

469
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: So I don't really think there was a I'm not

470
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: in the business of taking sides on this thing right now.

471
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you it's a very dangerous time. Jesse

472
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: finally watched Almost Famous, So to steal a quote from there,

473
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: you're coming along at a very dangerous time in rock

474
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: and roll, or in this case, college football. The war

475
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: is over. They won. Yeah, so what happens after that,

476
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: that's the question. That's the dot dot that's the great

477
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: unknown because we have yet to see it. Academy Sports

478
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: and Outdoors is one of the constants on this show.

479
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: In a sea of uncertainty, Academy Sports and Outdoors as

480
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 1: our back. They've got your back. I don't care what

481
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: you're doing this time of year. I'm looking around. I

482
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: see those weather reports. I know you're in the sixties, seventies, eighties.

483
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 1: It is prime outdoor season. So get some Clereton, get

484
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: some Affron, a couple of the few products they probably

485
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: don't sell it. Academy, get the allergies taken care of,

486
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: and get outdoors. Whether it's a kayak or a baseball glove,

487
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: whether it's soccer equipment, whether it's a grill, whatever you need.

496
00:23:54,960 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: Sports and Outdoors. They're watching us in Corpus, Texas. They're

497
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: tuned in in Rome, Georgia, and Jefferson City, Missouri. Thank

498
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: you so much for being tuned in. Do you know

499
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: what this show was going to lead with tonight? I

500
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: was so happy. I got certain things marked on my calendar.

501
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: My birthday is not even one of them, but one

502
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: hundred days until kickoff is one of them. I did

503
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: a hit on HQ today Brady Quinn and Chris Hassel,

504
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: friends of the program, to say the least, and we

505
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: talked about this and it was going to leave the

506
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: show tonight. But man if something bigger didn't pop up, well, Colin,

507
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: here's your endpoint. One hundred days to kick off. We

508
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: had the Renaissance Tour last year. I got a really,

509
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: really good leading candidate for the name of this year's tour,

510
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: but forget about that, we'll name this year's tour down

511
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: the road. What are we looking forward to this year?

512
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: Coast to coast. I think it's being very, very underestimated

513
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: right now, how much genuine excitement there could be coast

514
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: to coast, how much relevancy there could be coast to coast.

515
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll get to the West coast in a second.

516
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: There are things popping all over the West Coast right now.

517
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 1: That's normally the sleepy Coade for college football. Just some

518
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: things I'm looking forward to the SEC picture. I mean,

519
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: we're in a post Georgia National Championship world. Now, hoops

520
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: amongst us under the age of like forty, has ever

521
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: been able to say that answer? No one, So you

522
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: get to talk about them defending a title if that's

523
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: the nomenclature you so choose. I got Lane Kiffin over

524
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: there with one of the biggest sleeper Heisman candidates in

525
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: the country and Zach Evans and maybe maybe just the

526
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: biggest sleeper team in the country. I got Alabama and

527
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: Nick Saban having been to the championship game last year

528
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: but having multiple Heisman favorites. Bama's got two of the

529
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: preseason top three Heisman favorites, at least in terms of odds.

530
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: New coaches, you need them, you got them. Brian Kelly,

531
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: Baton Rouge, Billy Napier, Gainesville. We are going to get

532
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: Alabama versus Texas A and M on a real life

533
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: football field. In early October, I get to see Sam

534
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: Pittman's follow up campaign from Bursting on the scene last year.

535
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: I just went like eight teams deep. I didn't even

536
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: mention Tennis. Haven't even gotten to what Kentucky could do

537
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: this year in Tennessee. So basically just every team in

538
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: the conference. There's something to be taken away from there.

539
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: The two most interesting teams in the country to me, though,

540
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,719
Speaker 1: are not even in the SEC. One i'ms Texas and

541
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: one of'ms Clemson. And that's just one word. One of

542
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 1: them because we're in a hurry around here. If you

543
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: grew up in West central Georgia, one of them is

544
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: a waste of time, one of them being Texas, because

545
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: I really want to know how much changed forty plus

546
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 1: percent of their roster has turned over. How much changed

547
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: at Texas? Sart could not even answer this question for you,

548
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: and he's the head coach there. Because a lot of

549
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: it is intangible in nature, a lot of the glue

550
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: that holds a program together, that adhesive. If you've ever played,

551
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: if you've ever coached, you've been in a locker room

552
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: where it existed, and maybe some of you have been

553
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: in a locker room where it hasn't existed. How do

554
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: you quantify that? How do you define it? You don't.

555
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: You just know there's a difference in a team that

556
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: pulls apart that easy and one that sticks together a

557
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:56,959
Speaker 1: little bit more. And I'm sure someone's going to give

558
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: what I just did with my hands later, probably going

559
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: to be me. You're listening on podcasts, stay on podcasts.

560
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: Take my word for it. Right now? What if they

561
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: get into the season. You're looking at their schedule if

562
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: you're watching on YouTube right now, they play Bama Week two,

563
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: There'll be a double digit underdog. Okay, what if they

564
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: lose that game thirty one to twenty one, But then

565
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: they get into the rest of the season and they

566
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: struggle against West Virginia. Let's say they drop another game

567
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: to Oklahoma. What if they're trekking for an eight and

568
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: four or a seven and five season. It would be

569
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 1: a win loss improvement over a year ago. But would

570
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: people really be happy in Austin, especially when you got

571
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: Quinn Ewers in there, who most of us presume will

572
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: be the starting quarterback at Clemson. I have no clue

573
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: what to expect. I mean, you've got two worlds here,

574
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: and they're totally divergent. One of them is Clemson reassumes

575
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: their place at the mountaintop of the ACC and if

576
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: that's the case, they're in the playoff conversation and all's well,

577
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: that ends well there. But if they don't, do you

578
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 1: understand what that does? Twofold number one, So the Clemson Tigers,

579
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: You've got people questioning a guy who's already won two

580
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: national championships, and we're legitimately at that point talking about

581
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,239
Speaker 1: whether that era has come and gone, and even if

582
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: it has, it's a heck of an era. You find

583
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: how many programs have won two national championships in a

584
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: three or four year spent. They don't do it very often.

585
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: But we're in twenty twenty two. We're not in sixteen

586
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: or eighteen, and so from this point moving forward, we

587
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: would have a lot to talk about. If Clemson is

588
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: not playing for an ACC championship again, there will rightfully

589
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: be questions being asked up there, I assume by Dabo

590
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 1: Swiney himself. And the other part of that is, if

591
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: either of these teams does click on all cylinders this year,

592
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: they've got playoff potential just because of the roster alone.

593
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: If Clemson clicks on all cylinders, if they are in

594
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: the a SEC Championship game, stands to reason they're probably

595
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: in the playoff picture. If ditto happens with Texas, I

596
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: say this very softly, they would be in the playoff picture.

597
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: I don't know that people are ready for college football.

598
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: Where Texas is in the playoff picture, we hadn't really

599
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: seen it yet. I also want to talk to you

600
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: about sleepers amongst us, and I think I have several

601
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: of them, but I narrowed it down to three. I

602
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: think Arkansas is must see this year. kJ Jefferson returns

603
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: at quarterback. You got a lot of people questioning whether

604
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: you can replace a guy like Trailon Burks. And it's

605
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: like they know the name hazel Wood and they saw

606
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: him play at Oklahoma, but they just don't think he's

607
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: capable of filling those shoes, and they don't really believe

608
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: that Arkansas is capable of replicating that nine and four

609
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: magic from a year ago. This schedule is brutality. They're

610
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: out of conference, game is Cincinnati. They're out of conference

611
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: game is Liberty. They go to Brigham Young, So it's

612
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,479
Speaker 1: what you would do if you were the ad at

613
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: Arkansas but you knew you were leaving tomorrow and you

614
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: hated your replacement. This is the kind of schedule you'd

615
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: put together. Having said that, oh, by the way, you

616
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: got to play neutral site against A and M. But

617
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: having said that, I want to know what caliber team

618
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: they're going to have Arkansas nine to three in one

619
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: of the best teams in the country this year, given

620
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: the strength of schedule, and also it's kind of a

621
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: referendum on I think something a lot of other programs

622
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: are watching. I've beaten this to death. I understand that,

623
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: but just once more for the newcomers around here, that

624
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: guy right there, Sam Pittman, is different resume wise than

625
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: any other head coach that was vying for that job,

626
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: and pretty much any other head coach that anyone else

627
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: would have hired in the country. Sam Pittman's probably not

628
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: a fit anywhere else. Shane Beemer, who knows, Maybe he's

629
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: not a fit anywhere else. Mel Tucker, maybe he's not

630
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: a fit anywhere else. Those guys are so perfectly positioned

631
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: though the places they're at right now. Culture fits. Going

632
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: back to that invisible but very present adhesive if it

633
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: continues to work for him at a high level. I

634
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: really believe we're on the precipice of seeing some truly

635
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: unconventional hiring methodology being inserted into athletic departments all over

636
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: the country because of the example that is in the

637
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: process of being set at Arkansas. And so that is

638
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: a reason why even if you're not a fan of Arkansas,

639
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: you need to watch Arkansas this year. North Carolina State

640
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: we go right back to that possibly jumbled picture in

641
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: the ACC but you see North Carolina State, maybe a

642
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: team that doesn't need Clemson to trip up. North Carolina

643
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: State looks in the mirror and they say, we don't

644
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: need them to fall off. We'll just go beat them.

645
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: We're good enough to where we can still compete for

646
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: this thing even if Clemson is good this year. They

647
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: can be good, but still total loss against US October first.

648
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: So it's big talk. I guess I'm speaking for the

649
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: wolf Pack there, but they believe that this is the

650
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,959
Speaker 1: best crew they've had come through there in several years,

651
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: and they are positioned very well. They've got a very

652
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: very veteran team. There is no doubting the identity, the

653
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: chemistry there really good. They haven't accomplished anything, so there's

654
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: no threat of complacency. It's all there. They got a

655
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: big opportunity this year at North Carolina State, and it's

656
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: a team that obviously they're not going to grace many

657
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: national preseason preview magazines. I don't think they mind that.

658
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,719
Speaker 1: I think they that role. North Carolina State's definitely won

659
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: to watch in the ACC and out in the Pac twelve.

660
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: How much must Kyle Whittingham love here in all the

661
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: talk about USC and for that matter, Oregon. You know,

662
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: there are new staffs in place in both outposts there

663
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: on the coast, and there's a lot of attention on

664
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: Oregon for a reason. There's a lot of attention on

665
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: USC for a reason. Kyle Whittingham's been the model of

666
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: stability in Salt Lake City. Utah won the conference last

667
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: year and they body bagged Oregon twice to do it,

668
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: and probably feel like they would have done it another

669
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: half dozen times if you made them do it. But

670
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: the point is, yet folks like me picking against them,

671
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: I think I picked Oregon to win both games, and

672
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,479
Speaker 1: it's like, at what point do you realize that's just

673
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: a really dumb team? To bet against. Utah is a

674
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: really dumb team to bet against. And then you listen

675
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: to the conversation and it will grow louder as we

676
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: get close to the season. Listen to some of the

677
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: conversation going into this year, and sure enough, you're gonna

678
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: look at those preseason pack twelve odds and you're gonna

679
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: see things like USC not only favored to I guess what,

680
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: do we not even have divisions out there anymore? So

681
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: much we got scheduling divisions, but we don't have divisional

682
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: play for the conference title game. And what I just said,

683
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: if it doesn't make sense, it's cause it was news

684
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: that broke this week. We'll talk about it later in

685
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: the program, but you'll see those odds and they'll be

686
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: in USC's favorite. Southern Cal plays at Utah October fifteenth.

687
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: Southern Cal opened as a short favorite. It's gotten even

688
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: shorter because people like me have been betting the other

689
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: side of it. I think it's ditto. It's the same

690
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: as we see with North Carolina State. You got Utah,

691
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: Like how many programs out there are more comfortable and

692
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: sure of their identity than Utah football. They could not

693
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: care less about who believes in them and doesn't believe

694
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: in them. So we got the Sleepers. Always fun to

695
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: talk about them, and you know what, selfishly, you know

696
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: what else I'm looking forward to this year hype videos

697
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: that feature Late Kid. We got two rules on this show.

698
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: One don't lose to food, which pretty much means don't

699
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: drop a game to Rice. And the second is if

700
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: you put us in a hype video, one percent of

701
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: the time, we are putting you on this program. South Carolina,

702
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: You're up roll at Colin But I can't tell you

703
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: what the most underrated stadium I've been to is. I

704
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,720
Speaker 1: found myself standing on the field looking around saying, people

705
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: don't talk about Williams Brice Stadium nearly as much as

706
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: they should. One of the greatest entrances all they got

707
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: one of the best home field advantages of coming with game.

708
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: We did that three point thirty eastern time kick, so

709
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: by the time you wrap it up, it's nighttime and

710
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: that's student sections. You're excited hopin South Carolina. South Carolina

711
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: fans more than do wear park on game day to

712
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: make that place a really, really intend rating environment. When

713
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 1: they waive those titles, when they play sand Sworm when

714
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 1: when it's burred down in police and Williams of Bryce Stadium,

715
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: you can't hear anything. Sure, ungli old pashing here at Willia.

716
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 2: They know they've got something specially this week.

717
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,479
Speaker 1: And went home and I said, dear Diary, Williams Brice

718
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: Stadium impressed me today. We were a little surprised that

719
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 1: they included the deer Diary part. But yes, shout out

720
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: to our friends there at South Carolina. You put us

721
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: on the hype video. We're putting you on the show.

722
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: Those are just some of the many things I'm looking

723
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: forward to this season in college football. And like I

724
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: told you, I think we've got the name for the

725
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: Late Kick Tour. I think we've got the name. Not

726
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: ready to unveil it yet, but I think we got

727
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: the name. So stay tuned on that. We've been doing

728
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: something around here. Well you've been doing something. I've just

729
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: been echoing your thoughts and what have we been on

730
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 1: this role for about two months now? Bold Prediction nine

731
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: point zero, the ninth chapter. Here the things that you

732
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: have told me you believe in enough to put your

733
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: money on. Here we go five more big ones tonight.

734
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: First up, we're going to the big Ten, and it

735
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: is the following Both Ohio State and Michigan will make

736
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: the College Football Playoff this year. How unprecedented would this be?

737
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: Totally because it's never happened for the Big Ten. The

738
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: only two times that teams from the same conference have

739
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 1: made the playoff has all It's been both teams the

740
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 1: Georgia Alabama combination both times, and so it would be

741
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: unprecedented for the Big Ten. I made this a nine

742
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: on the boldness scale first off, just because of what

743
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: I just said how hard it is. Secondly, I could

744
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: get with the theory. Okay, if you told me that

745
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: you think Ohio State and Michigan are both going to

746
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: be good enough caliber teams to make the playoff, you

747
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: would have a conversation with me. It's the scheduling dynamic

748
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: that makes it so hard. They play each other the

749
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: last week of the regular season. So I'm trying to

750
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: think to myself, Obviously there are scenarios out there where

751
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: could happen, but what would need to happen, And I

752
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,439
Speaker 1: think what would need to happen is Michigan would need

753
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: to lose. You probably got a better shot here if

754
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: Michigan loses, because if they're undefeated, if Michigan's undefeed and

755
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: they go into the Big House, or well, actually they're

756
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: going to Columbus this year and they lose a competitive

757
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: game and that's the only blip on their resume. I

758
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: could see that. I could see them not going to

759
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: Indianapolis to play for the conference title, or maybe actually

760
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: they do, maybe the Big Ten changes their rules, let

761
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: the Pac twelve did, But I could see that. I'm

762
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: not sure even if Ohio State's undefeated, I'm not sure

763
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 1: if they get that game at home and they lose

764
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: again to Michigan, even though again shouldn't even enter the

765
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: equation because it's one year and one year only, I'm

766
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: still not sure what that committee would do. So there's

767
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: a way for it to happen. I'm just I'm saying

768
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: that's really bold, and that's what the segment's for the

769
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: National Championship odds. Ohio State the third odds on favorite

770
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 1: right now to win it all at plus four fifty.

771
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 1: Michigan is four five, six, seven, eight nine ten. They

772
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: are twelve at plus four thousand, and actually they've got

773
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: like a nineteen way tie with the likes of Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Utah, Oregon, Florida.

774
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: So it's pretty bold. I'm gonna grant you that nine

775
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: is almost as high as we go around here. Next up,

776
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: got another one. This one's from the Big Twelve. Oklahoma

777
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: and Texas are way over hyped. I think we see

778
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: someone else win the Big Twelve this season. Okay, so

779
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: someone other than OEU or Texas wins the Big twelve. Seven,

780
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: it's not the boldest thing to say in the world.

781
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: I mean, we've been propping Texas up for quite a

782
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: while in preview culture, and they've let us down. I

783
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: speak in a very inclusive manner there, because I have

784
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: been part of the crowd that's been let down by Texas.

785
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: But you know, if you were telling me neither one

786
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: of them's gonna make the conference title game, gonna be

787
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: one thing that'd be really, really bold. But we're talking

788
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: about just neither one of them's gonna win the conference. Well,

789
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: Oklahoma states a plus five hundred right now to win

790
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: the conference Balor's plus seven hundred. OEU and Texas, for

791
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: the record, are number one number two in the odds

792
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: to win the Big Twelve right now plus one seventy

793
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: five and plus two to ten, respectively. But I mean,

794
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the boldest thing in the world.

795
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: I could eat easily see Mike Gundy in Oklahoma State

796
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: making run there. I could easily see Baylor doing it.

797
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: I could. You know, it's the Big twelve man and

798
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: it's Demolition Derby year out there. So we were talking

799
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: the other night about whether anyone was gonna win ten

800
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: games in the Big twelve. So certainly, if we're in

801
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: that kind of world, everyone has shown vulnerability, significant vulnerability

802
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: by that point. Yeah, I could see easily someone other

803
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: than OU or Texas winning out there. Now the next one,

804
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: it's tough for me to stomach. It's tough for me

805
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: to envision this one. So try and picture this. If

806
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: anyone can sell me on this short of injury, if

807
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: anyone can sell me on it, I'd be interested to

808
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: hear you. Neither CJ. Stroud nor Bryce Young will be

809
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: Heisman finalist this upcoming season. Take injury out of it.

810
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: How does this happen? How do both of them play

811
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 1: this year and miss out on going to New York?

812
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: Bryce Young won it last year. CJ. Stroud's one of

813
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: the top favorites to win it this year, so so

814
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: how do they not get injured and still not make it.

815
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 1: They're two solid favorites. Obviously, you have got the premier

816
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: position taking care of here. Both of them are quarterbacks.

817
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 1: You've got a couple of top two teams, maybe the

818
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: top two teams in the country this year. You've got

819
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: premier stables of wide receivers for them to throw to.

820
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: You got a lot of talent in the backfield along

821
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: with them. And they're both in the pole position because

822
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: they're high profile players. And here's a little stat that

823
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: Stats and Info gave me. In other words, Jesse, this

824
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: is a really good one. Seven of the top ten

825
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: Heisman finalists last year are gone. Only three of them

826
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: are playing this year, and one of them's Bryce Young,

827
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: one of them is CJ. Stroud, and one of them

828
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 1: is our favorite Will Anderson. So stands to reason unless

829
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: you've got injury cropping up one of if not both

830
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: of them, have a very very good chance to go

831
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: to New York. I made this one like an eight,

832
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: or maybe even a nine. Maybe I should have made

833
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: it a nine. It's very bold to consider neither finalist

834
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: for the Heisman. The next one's kind of cruel, and

835
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: I think someone needs to search their heart here. You

836
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: need to have a little come to Jesus meeting all

837
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: on your own. But I'm gonna read it out here

838
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: in front of God and everyone. Bradley Hall says, Auburn's

839
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: going oh to eight in conference play this year. I

840
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: gave this an eight. I think this is pretty bold.

841
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 1: I'm not the biggest believer in Auburn this year, but

842
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: even I think this is pretty bold. I'm looking at

843
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: the schedule, though it's tough. Schedule always is. Auburn's a very,

844
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 1: very tough job. A year in and year house one

845
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 1: of the toughest schedules in the country. I just need

846
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: them to win one of the following follow along with me.

847
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: They got Missouri at home, They've got LSU at home,

848
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: They've got Arkansas at home. They go to Mississippi State,

849
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: and they've got Texas A and M at home. I

850
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: gotta have you win one of those. Sure, an upset

851
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: would be great. I'm not counting on you at Alabama.

852
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 1: I'm not counting on you at Georgia, even at Ole,

853
00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: miss I'm not counting on But man, Brian, you guys

854
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 1: got to win one of those. You know how rarely

855
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 1: I refer to coaches just by their first name around here.

856
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: Got to win one of those, don't they? That would

857
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: be very, very wild. I don't remember many seasons, even

858
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: seasons where not a lot was expected, where a team

859
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 1: just flatlines all year. Yeah it's happened, but rarely does

860
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: it happen. There's got to be some uptick. They can

861
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 1: even miss a bowl game. There's gotta be some uptick.

862
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: There's gotta be one game where you know, they just

863
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 1: have one of those afternoons where everything comes together. It's

864
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: got to happen. Those home games, I mean, out of

865
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 1: Missouri and LSU and Arkansas and A and M, win

866
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 1: one of them, or go to Mississippi State, just win

867
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: one of them. The last one here is one that

868
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna spend a considerable amount of time on as

869
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: the season gets closer. But how about this one to

870
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,720
Speaker 1: chew on. A first year head coach is one hundred

871
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 1: percent taking his squad to the playoff. Too many good

872
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: coaches checking in from Hollywood, Florida. Keep up the dope work.

873
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna happen. You know, I actually

874
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: made this prediction earlier today on HQ. I think this

875
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: is gonna happen. I only give this a three. I

876
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: don't think this is bold at all because of how

877
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 1: many new coaches are at high profile programs. Brent Vnables

878
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: is at Oklahoma, Marcus Freeman's at Notre Dame. Lincoln Riley obviously,

879
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about him a little bit more in

880
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: a second. He's at USC, Billy Napier is at Florida.

881
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: You can just go up and down the list, Dan

882
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: Lanning at Oregon, Brian Kelly at Notre Dame. I think

883
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: one of them is gonna make the playoff, and I'll

884
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: tell you what that's gonna do. As soon as one

885
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: of these first year coaches makes the playoff, it's gonna

886
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: ruin coaching transitions for every freutre staff because in the future,

887
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: no fan base is ever gonna be told you gotta

888
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 1: have some patience. No fan base is ever gonna be

889
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: told give me a couple of years. We got to

890
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,720
Speaker 1: rebuild on our hands, because they're gonna point to Lincoln

891
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: Riley or Brenton Venables or Dan Lanning, whoever makes it

892
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,359
Speaker 1: this year, and they're gonna say, well, he was new,

893
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,399
Speaker 1: it didn't take him any time. Why should we buy

894
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: that from you do what Lincoln did in twenty twenty two.

895
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: Just go take fifteen or twenty kids out of the portal.

896
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: It's not that easy. What Lincoln Riley and us he

897
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,240
Speaker 1: are doing is not easy. It's not easy at all.

898
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: But that won't really matter to a bloodthirsty fan base.

899
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: So I think one i'm is gonna make it. I

900
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: know that's a little little out there, but I don't

901
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 1: think it's that bold. I think one i'm is gonna

902
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: make it. All right. We have several questions and hopefully

903
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: answers to get you tonight. We got a lot of

904
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,280
Speaker 1: live years, man, We have twenty three hundred live years.

905
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: Thank you for being tuned in. Remember this is year round.

906
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: We don't do off seasons. We don't even say the

907
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 1: word out loud, So thank you for being here. We

908

910
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,839
Speaker 1: not subscribed. Let's change it. When we get to one

911

912
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: big things are coming because management has assured me one

913
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: hundred k. Just subscribe podcast, subscribe to those feeds. YouTube,

Speaker 1: It's free. Thank you in advance. Let's dive into the mailbag.

916
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 1: Some things have been happening, and because you got Jimbo

917
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: and Saban doing what they're doing, it's kind of been overlooked.

918
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: But Jan hit us and asked, won't removing divisions just

919
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 1: end in rematches in title games more often? I thought

920
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 1: we were trying to be less like the NFL. And

921
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: what Jan is talking about here is a rule that

922
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: has since been approved by the NCAA that you don't

923
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: have to have divisional play to have a conference championship,

924
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: which means you can just have a great big hodgepodge

925
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: of teams ten, twelve, fourteen and they can just do whatever,

926
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: have your schedule however you want it to. You don't

927
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 1: have to have divisions like the SEC and the PAC

928
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: twelve and the Big ten of the ACC like they

929
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: currently have. Well, as soon as that got passed, the

930
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: PAC twelve said, forget about twenty twenty three. This year,

931
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: like this upcoming year that we're one hundred days away from,

932
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: we will not honor division results. We're just gonna take

933
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,280
Speaker 1: the top two teams in the conference regardless of division,

934
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: and they're going to play in the conference title game,

935
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:07,919
Speaker 1: but they're going to keep, at least for this year,

936
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 1: the divisional scheduling format, which is kind of weird and

937
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: could lead to some very wonky results. But Jan is

938
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: making a more overarching suggestion that this is going to

939
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,839
Speaker 1: lead to more rematches, and she may very well be right.

940
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: Think about it, If we don't have divisions in the SEC,

941
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:31,240
Speaker 1: statistically Auburn and Alabama could play in the SEC title

942
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: game or in the Big Ten. This is really the

943
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: one that's got a lot of people's attention. Ohio State

944
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: and Michigan are not moving that game from the last

945
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 1: week of the regular season this past year. Guess who

946
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,919
Speaker 1: the top two teams in the Big Ten would have been.

947
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: If you did not honor division results, you would have

948
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 1: had a rematch that snowy Saturday that we were a

949
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: part of. We were on the field for that game

950
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: in ann Arbor and then the storming of the field.

951
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: They would have cleaned that field off. They would have

952
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: both headed to Indianapolis, Indiana and climate controlled environment. They

953
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,840
Speaker 1: would have played again six or seven days later. And

954
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 1: Jan saying they do that sometimes in the NFL, do

955
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: we want that in college football. I don't think there's

956
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: a perfect answer here. I've racked my brain just like

957
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: everyone else has. I don't think there's a perfect answer.

958
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 1: Jan I am actually on board with doing away with divisions,

959
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: but even I understand, Hey, that runs us a risk

960
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: of maybe having a result that not all of us

961
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:25,879
Speaker 1: are on board with. I mean, I can't tell you

962
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: that I'm crazy about the idea of a couple of

963
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: teams playing back to back Saturdays. No, I'm not crazy

964
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 1: about that. We just watched Alabama and Georgia rematch from

965
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: a conference title game to a national title game, and

966
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: people were turned off by that. So I can't imagine

967
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 1: how turned off you may be if you end up

968
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: getting the rematches that go seven days apart instead of

969
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 1: at least three or four weeks apart. But what is

970
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: the alternative? The alternative is to keep things like they

971
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,359
Speaker 1: are right now. And I know that I'm the one

972
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: fighting here sometimes to preserve certain aspects of this sport.

973
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: But I'm not totally resistant to change if it's good.

974
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: I think this is good change because I think that

975
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 1: the ultimate thing you want to do is you want

976
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 1: to reward excellence. You don't want someone from the Big

977
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,439
Speaker 1: Ten West going even though there are three or four

978
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: teams you would power rate above them in the Big

979
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: Ten East, just because of a technicality, just because of

980
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 1: an imaginary line drawn on a map, that's not the

981
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: true spirit of competition. And so yeah, we do run

982
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: the risk of having rematches. That's just something we're gonna

983
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 1: have to. We're gonna have to bite the bullet on.

984
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: The only alternative really to fully do away with that

985
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,800
Speaker 1: possibility is something that I don't think anyone's gonna be

986
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 1: on board with, nor would I. The only way you

987
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,399
Speaker 1: can avoid that is take your out of conference games

988
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:44,919
Speaker 1: and play them at the end of the year, which

989
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 1: would for all sorts of reasons be done. So you've

990
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:49,839
Speaker 1: got to do it the way you got to do it.

991
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: And if you're gonna have your conference title games, yes,

992
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 1: you do have to run the risk of rematches, just

993
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: the way it is. Next up, something that broke earlier today.

994
00:48:58,000 --> 00:48:59,919
Speaker 1: So I mean we're absolutely getting this in the show.

995
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 1: Simply Steve said I need a rapid reaction for Jordan

996
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 1: Addison transferring from pitt to USC. Yes, that became official

997
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 1: late this afternoon. That new look Trojan what do we

998
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: think about him? Well, you got a credit Lincoln Riley here.

999
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people have a lot of

1000
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 1: thoughts about Lincoln Riley, but man, what they're doing is

1001
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: not easy. I don't care what anyone tells you. I

1002
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: don't care what kind of leveraged or privileged position you're

1003
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: working from, and what your brand is and how much

1004
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 1: playing time you can promise and what Nil's doing for you.

1005
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,879
Speaker 1: It's hard. It is hard. If it was easy, I'll

1006
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 1: tell you this. If it's so easy to do what

1007
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley's doing, show me someone do it. Every February

1008
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,359
Speaker 1: March April may show me someone else do it. So

1009
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 1: this is there's a credit to them. What you think

1010
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,959
Speaker 1: about the way they're doing it is totally separate from

1011
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 1: the fact that they're doing it. So credit there. It's

1012
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 1: perfect timing. The first thing I thought when I saw

1013
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: this headline is, you know, we're out here, we're having

1014
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 1: a production meeting. Oh, I'm on the phone with folks

1015
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 1: like we're trying to get a grip on how we're

1016
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 1: going to talk about Nick Saban and Jimbo Fish or

1017
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: class and who Jordan Addison right there, just around five

1018
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern time. There in the middle of a college

1019
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 1: football tornado, Jordan Addison said, I'm going to USC bye.

1020
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: And that was it. You know, this has been in

1021
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,280
Speaker 1: the works for like a month. It could have broken

1022
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: any day. When did it break? Just so happened to

1023
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 1: break right in the middle of a firestorm the likes

1024
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: of which college football's never seen in the month of May.

1025
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: I don't even care if that is by design. I

1026
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,919
Speaker 1: credit you guys if it was by design. So here

1027
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:30,879
Speaker 1: you go, Here you go. I'll give you the fight

1028
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,359
Speaker 1: on sign for that. This is one of the best

1029
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver rooms we've seen at USC quite a while.

1030
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 1: You've got all kinds of talent here. Now here's the pushback.

1031
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: You're a UCLA fan or an Oregon fan or whatever.

1032
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 1: You could say, Okay, we've seen potential there before. How

1033
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 1: much of that potential in that room has been proven

1034
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 1: in a Los Angeles, California And the answer is not

1035
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 1: a lot. I think USC fans get that. They're not

1036
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: excited because of a bunch of returning, proven production. They're

1037
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: excited about what can be. News flash, the entire program

1038
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,839
Speaker 1: right now is what can be. They don't like what

1039
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: was out there. That's why they hit the dump button.

1040
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: And they have a lot of what can be but

1041
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 1: this wide receiver rooms serious and they don't lack a quarterbacks.

1042
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: See sometimes you've got a wide receiver room, but you say,

1043
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 1: who's gonna get them the ball? Caleb Williams is getting

1044
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: them the ball out there, and when he doesn't deliver it,

1045
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 1: you got Travis Dye, a twelve hundred yard guy in

1046
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,439
Speaker 1: the backfield to hand it off to. They don't hurt

1047
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 1: for skill here. There is a lot of Sunday talent

1048
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:30,959
Speaker 1: that's gonna be on the field at USC this fall.

1049
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:35,399
Speaker 1: They totally remade their offense in the transfer portal. I mean,

1050
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 1: think about what is on campus now that was not

1051
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: on campus when they said goodbye to Clay Helton, Caleb Williams,

1052
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:48,240
Speaker 1: Jordan Addison, Mario Williams, Travis Dye, Brendan Rice, Austin Jones.

1053
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 1: That's not even that's a fraction of the amount of

1054
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 1: guys they brought in in the transfer portal. So they

1055
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: remade this thing, man. I mean, so credit to Lincoln Riley.

1056
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,399
Speaker 1: That's my rapid reaction. Credit to Lincoln Riley. He got

1057
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: it done. There's big demand out there for a guy

1058
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 1: like Jordan Addison. Obviously, I read the statement he put

1059
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:08,720
Speaker 1: out as really classy. He thanked Pitt, He thanked Paton Rdoozy.

1060
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 1: Pat No Rdwzy has been very outspoken on this. I've

1061
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 1: talked to you about what I think about tampering allegations,

1062
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:16,959
Speaker 1: so I don't need to go down that road again.

1063
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 1: Big get for USC. Congratulations to USC. I didn't want

1064
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 1: to end the show tonight without talking about some big

1065
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 1: news in the SEC. And it doesn't have to do

1066
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:30,919
Speaker 1: with jimbo Fisher or Nick Saban. There's some big news

1067
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:34,239
