1
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: Welcome in lay cack is live it his Sunday night

2
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: in May, fifteenth year of our Lord twenty twenty two.

3
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: You want the truth, for all I know, you may

4
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: even be able to handle the truth, but you better

5
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: not tamper with the truth.

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 2: And that's all I have to say about that.

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: Until about thirty seconds from now, when we're going to

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: talk about the cold hard truth regarding tampering in our

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: great sport of college football. We're jampacked high Top Lively

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: downtown Nashville, Tennessee. We got to separate some fact and

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: fiction tonight. There's a couple of things that, from what

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: I can gather, a lot of folks think they know

13
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: about tampering in college football. It's kind of like the

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: old school bag man theories and recruiting. Everyone just thinks

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: they know something. What can we prove? Well, I'm not

16
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: going to present all the evidence tonight, but I am

17
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 1: going to give you some feedback that I've gotten from

18
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: talking to some coaches and some personnel folks inside the

19
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,639
Speaker 1: industry which is a fancy word for sport. And I'm

20
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: going to tell you what they told me anonymously, of course.

21
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: Bold Predictions Chapter eight coming at you tonight by way

22
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: of your own predictions. Also, we're gonna talk about a

23
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 1: couple of things in the mail bag that I found

24
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: really interesting that you guys submitted, So we're gonna do

25
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: all that tonight, plus some transfer portal buzz. Imagine, though,

26
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: look at all we have to talk about. Imagine pretending

27
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: the off season exists. Imagine taking vacation. Couldn't be us,

28
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: couldn't be all of us anyway, dak Well, let me

29
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: make sure I pronounce this right, because I grew up

30
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: in Georgia.

31
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: D Kula, Georgia. That's where they're tuned in tonight. Bryce.

32
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: By the way, Happy nineteenth birthday, Buddy Lake Jackson, Texas.

33
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: They're watching there Delta, Colorado, and Bowlsburg, pa Ethan and

34
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: the guys at Angelo's Pizzeria, which I am told is

35
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: in the shadow of State College, Pennsylvania. Appreciate you one

36
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: and all watching us and listening to us wherever you are,

37
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: making our numbers just go.

38
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: Pop up right through the roof. It's a rocket ship.

39
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: If you're listening on podcasts, What does pet state material

40
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: look like? There will come a time where you can

41
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: wear pet state material and that's a pretty vivid tease

42
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: about as good a teas as I've given about the

43
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: future of the show as of late.

44
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: But also here's what else it looks like.

45
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: I want to take Joseph Allan Taylor's Instagram message to me.

46
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: I rarely screenshot your personal messages to me, but I

47
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: got permission here. Here's what he said. If you're listening

48
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: on pod Josh, thanks so much. Love the show so

49
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: much that I've got ten of my friends at college

50
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: at Liberty University subscribed. Important word there on both YouTube

51
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: and Spotify, doing my part to get us to one

52
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: hundred k. That is what paid state material looks like. So, Joseph,

53
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Things like that are the reason

54
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: we just gained a thousand subs on this YouTube channel

55
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: last week.

56
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 2: What does all that mean? Why are we caring so

57
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: much about this?

58
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: Well, because when we get to one hundred k, special

59
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: things are going to happen around here. We have it

60
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: on the good authority of management that special things are

61
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: going to happen around here.

62
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: So let's just let's just hustle up and get there.

63
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: We're already at like ninety four thousand, so we're like

64
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: more than nine tenths of the way there.

65
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: All right, that's all the begging I'm going to do.

66
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: Right now, let's dive in.

67
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: Hampering in college football. Gasp, how much of this is

68
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: going on? Now, here's how I want to start this.

69
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: Theater of the mind is a very powerful thing. We

70
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: have it right here on Lake Kick producer Jesse direct Colin.

71
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: I tell you they exist, but you've never seen them.

72
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: Half of you don't even believe they're real. But I

73
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: can assure you as much as I can assure you

74
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: right behind that wall. They live, and they breathe, and

75
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: they have thoughts and feelings and hearts and emotions just

76
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: like the rest of you. But you don't know what

77
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: they look like, and so absent that in your mind,

78
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: you just kind of make things up. Some of you

79
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: have gone off the deep end making those things up.

80
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: But this is very prevalent in college football too, and

81
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: you know where it's happening.

82
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: It's happening in the world of tampering.

83
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: Now, there is a lot of what people believe, and

84
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: then there's not so much of why I believe it.

85
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: And that's where I want to go tonight. Now, I

86
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: want to take you back. Let's say to yesteryear. You know,

87
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: if you grew up, I don't care if you're sixty

88
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: years old or you're thirty years old. Just think about

89
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: the pre nil transfer portal era, and I think about

90
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: what everyone used to talk about. You just used to

91
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: talk about bag men and recruiting. You used to talk

92
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: about dropping bags and buying players. And remember how everybody

93
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: just thought they knew. You could ask any even casual

94
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: college football fan about one hundred dollars handshakes and players

95
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: being paid, and you would swear on graves of family

96
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: members that had not even passed on yet that Yep,

97
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: it's happening, and I can guarantee you my rivals doing it.

98
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: But yet, if you were pressed for evidence, hardly any

99
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: of you would have actually had evidence. You just had

100
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: heard some things, and you had read some things, and

101
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: then your own cognition had put together some things, and

102
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: you had just summarized in your own ND Yep, it's happening.

103
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: But you didn't really have any evidence. You just thought

104
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: it was happening. Well, that's kind of where we are

105
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: with tampering right now.

106
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: Not a lot of people have stone cold, hard and

107
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: fast evidence that tampering is going on. But yet I

108
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: would say, if we unofficially pulled the audience, nine out

109
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: of ten of you or maybe more are convinced that

110
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: tampering is going on.

111
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,239
Speaker 2: I am included in that group.

112
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: And yet I also, well, I've got the word of

113
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: some people who would know that it's going on. But

114
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: even I myself do not have direct, hard evidence that

115
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: I could take into a court of law. There are

116
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: some wildly held beliefs being formed right now amongst the

117
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: college football public when it comes to tampering, and what

118
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: I want to lead the show with tonight. Now, I

119
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: want to try and make you feel a little bit

120
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,679
Speaker 1: better about this because there are some nightmare scenarios floating

121
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: around out there. I don't think that it's as bad

122
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: as some of you believe. Now, this is going to

123
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: be one of those classic here's what I'm not saying

124
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: sort of segments, And normally I like to tee that

125
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: up because of what the comment section quickly devolves into.

126
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: If I don't what I'm not saying is Tampering's not happening. Oh,

127
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: it's happening, happening all over the place. I have spoken

128
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: about this many times on this show. So when I

129
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: tell you I don't think it's as bad as you believe.

130
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that it's not as widely spread. I'm

131
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: saying that maybe your worst fear is not being realized

132
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: in this because your worst fear is not that filling

133
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: the blank school in the MAC is tampering. You guys

134
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: don't care about that. Most of the people who watch

135
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: this show. If we're talking about tampering, you're worried about

136
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: your own personal roster being poached, and then you're worried

137
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: about the big boys out there just coming and having

138
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: their way with all the other second tier and third

139
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: tier programs. So what I'm not saying is tampering is

140
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: not happening. What I am saying is I think the

141
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: face of tampering looks a whole lot different than what

142
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: your worst fears are.

143
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: So here's where I.

144
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: Want to go with this, and I want you to

145
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: think along with me. Maybe you're driving around and it's

146
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 1: Monday or Tuesday, or maybe you're watching live right now,

147
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: and if you are, I appreciate that. Here on the

148
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: YouTube channel on Sunday night, what's your biggest fear?

149
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 2: So let me start with that.

150
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: What is your biggest fear when people mention the word tampering.

151
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it's that some random school that finished

152
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: six and seven last.

153
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 2: Year is out there tampering with players.

154
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: Biggest fear for most college football fans is not the

155
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: middle of the road programs are tampering. Your biggest fear

156
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: is that the elite tier one programs in the country

157
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: are going to be able to flex their muscle and

158
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,119
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to go into anyone's roster

159
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: they want to in pillage and plunder and take whoever

160
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: they want back to where Columbus, Ohio, or Tuscaloosa or

161
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: clemsonder Athens, And that's your biggest fear.

162
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: Enter Kirby Smart. This week. I don't know if you

163
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: caught this quote.

164
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: He appeared on The Paul feinbaumb Show and he said

165
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: something that I really want you to take note of

166
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: because he said something in not so many words that

167
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,239
Speaker 1: we have said on this program for about three months now,

168
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: as everyone's talking about tampering and everyone's throwing around allegations.

169
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: Here's what Kirby Smart said quote. I don't believe there's

170
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: as much tampering as people think. There are kids who

171
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: grow up thinking if it doesn't work out here, I

172
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: should go somewhere else, which is speaking to the overall

173
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,239
Speaker 1: human condition. Kirby Smart continues, tampering comes from the player

174
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: searching somewhere else, not from a coach reaching out. That's

175
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: reaction at a place like Georgia, at a place like Bama,

176
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: at a place like Ohio State. I have told you

177
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: this probably a dozen times. I'm not just making it up.

178
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: You're not wasting your time watching this show. I'm getting

179
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: direct feedback from those programs. What's happening is they've got

180
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: kids daily, maybe from your favorite team, reaching out to

181
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: them and asking do you have a spot for me?

182
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: I can promise you it's happening because I have direct

183
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: knowledge that it's happening. That's not to say tampering is

184
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: not happening. But your worst fear of these teams that

185
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: play for national championships just going behind the curtain and

186
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: trying to jerk anyone they can off any roster. That's

187
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: not quite the reality of how the transfer market is

188
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: working right now. In fact, I'll go a step further,

189
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: not that I'm looking to draw sympathy for the major

190
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: programs in college football. Georgia, Bama, Ohio State, these major programs,

191
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: they're a whole lot more vulnerable to being tampered with,

192
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: to having their rosters tampered with. Number One, they don't

193
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: have a whole lot of needs, so they don't have

194
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: to go out even if they wanted to traffic in

195
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: this sort of activity and do it a whole lot.

196
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: But secondly, the entire premise of this whole thing, you know,

197
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: when a lot of people thought it was gonna inject

198
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: parody into the sport, was such that, well, if you're

199
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: at Georgia or Alabama and you're a two or you're

200
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: a three there, you could be a one at a

201
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: place like and then fill in the blank program. And

202
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: that's not totally unfounded. When you watch the way the

203
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: portal doors swing, you watch over the course of three

204
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: or four year spans, there'll be a whole lot more

205
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: players leave these programs, then there will walk in. The

206
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: quality of player that walks out will be superseded by

207
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 1: the quality of player that walks in.

208
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 2: But that's part one of that.

209
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: But the other part that I want to talk about

210
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: is I can't tell you tampering is not happening, it

211
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: certainly is. What I can tell you is it's not

212
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: going down in the way that you fear it's going down.

213
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: It's not just the major programs out there behind the

214
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: curtain trying to jerk all those players from all these

215
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: other rosters, and there's nothing they can do about it.

216
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: But what I have learned from talking to a lot

217
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: of people is there's a big differenference and everyone's doing

218
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: it versus everyone's using it. See everyone's doing it is

219
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: just this blanket allegation and you throw it out there.

220
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: But then when I ask for facts and I ask

221
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: for actual evidence, you're kind of short on that. But

222
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: what I have realized is in the coaching world, claiming

223
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: tampering is much like players claiming they're not starting because

224
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: coach hates me. It's so much easier for a running

225
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: backs coach or off it's coordinator, even a head coach

226
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: or a player personnel director saying they got tampered with

227
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: that's why we lost that kid. It's a whole lot

228
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: easier to say that than to say we didn't create

229
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: an environment or foster the kind of atmosphere that he

230
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: wanted to stay and play and be a part of.

231
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: That's not fun to say, because that takes some personal responsibility,

232
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: and there's really.

233
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 2: No way to ever prove it.

234
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: I mean, if Peyt State loses a linebacker tomorrow and

235
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: he goes to Colorado, I can say Colorado tampered with

236
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: him all day. You're probably gonna take my word for it.

237
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: Why because I run Peyt State, or maybe at the worst,

238
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: I'm an assistant coach here. And if I tell you that,

239
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: and you're a member of the media, or you're a

240
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: booster here, you're just a high level a donor that

241
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: has bought some access, and I tell you that, you're

242
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: running to the message board and you're telling five hundred

243
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: other people that and it just spreads. And yet you

244
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: never even know if it's true or not. So you're

245
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: gonna see for a little while. I don't know that

246
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: there's an expiration date on this. You're gonna hear allegations

247
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: of tampering with every kid who leaves your program. Every

248
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: kid who leaves your program was not tampered with. Some

249
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: may and some may not have been tampered with, but

250
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna hear it as an allegation just because it

251
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: makes you feel better. You lost the kid, it makes

252
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: you feel better to say he was tampered with. No

253
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 1: kid's leaving your program, even if they do get tampered with,

254
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: if you gave him enough reason to stay. Now you

255
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: know how I feel about this. I despise the concept

256
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: of it. I'm not defending it at all. I do

257
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: not like that right now in our sport there exists

258
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: a mechanism where you can essentially go and buy players

259
00:11:58,679 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: off of rosters.

260
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 2: Hate it. Hate it.

261
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: It's not what college football should be to me. So

262
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: I'm not defending that. What I am saying is sometimes

263
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: the allegations are being thrown around and it's not as

264
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: it appears at all. So I think it's probably a

265
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: little bit more widespread the allegation than it should be.

266
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: And Part two is, I do not think if your

267
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: biggest fear is a bunch of the elite programs going

268
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: and poaching players at will, I don't think it's your

269
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: biggest concern, or I don't think it should be your

270
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: biggest concern because it's the feedback I've gotten, and it's

271
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: feedback guy trust. So I'm going to leave that here.

272
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: There are a lot of things to be scared of

273
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: out there. I don't think that this tampering is going

274
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: to be what sends the sport of spiraling into the abyss.

275
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 1: It's been a.

276
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 2: Perfect weekend for a lot of you. Not all.

277
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: I see some tough weather out there right now, but

278
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: it's been a perfect weekend for a lot of things.

279
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: One thing in particular that it's been a perfect weekend

280
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: for that a lot of you guys pick up on

281
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: every weekend I want to start giving credit is a

282
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: visit to Academy Sports and Outdoors. I was on my

283
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: way to play softball the other night and I stopped

284
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: by and I put a pick. You're out there, but

285
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: Tupac Chopra here good friends of the program. Obviously with

286
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: a name like that, how could he not be. I'm

287
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: just showing you a random tweet. I get hundreds of

288
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: these every week if you're listening on podcast. Our buddy

289
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: Tupac Chopra just parked in the parking lot there at Academy.

290
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: I don't even know which one this is, could be

291
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 1: one of any number of Academy Sports and Outdoors.

292
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 2: Locations, and he took a picture.

293
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: Look how crowded that parking lot is just the way

294
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: God intended it. So he probably took twenty minutes to

295
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,479
Speaker 1: find a parking space. I feel like we're probably responsible

296
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: for at least thirty five or forty percent of that traffic.

297
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: And he took a picture, and you know what else

298
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 1: he did. He tagged us, and he tagged Academy. You

299
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: can see it right down there at the bottom. Good job.

300
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: And the more you guys do this, the more I'm

301
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: giving you shout outs on the show. Academy Sports and

302
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: Outdoors one stop shop for everything. I think we all

303
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: understand that at this point. But even if you don't

304
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 1: take part in the recreational activity, like if you're going

305
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: to Radnor State Park here in Nashville, maybe you're not

306
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: going to go play volleyball or tennis.

307
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 2: Maybe you're not going to go cannoeing, I bet you

308
00:13:58,960 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 2: can fire up a grill.

309
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: Whatever you're gonna do, you can purchase the products you

310
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: need to make that afternoon happen at Academy Sports and Outdoors.

311

Speaker 1: Thank you so much to Academy Sports and Outdoors and

318
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: TUPAC in that order. All right, let's continue here. You know, Colin,

319
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: I don't even like to angle. That laptop's at there.

320
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: We fixed it now. So I'm looking by the way

321
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: at Doug in the live chat. Because you guys sometimes

322
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: don't think I watched the live chat.

323
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 2: Shame on you.

324
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: Doug said there's no Academy in Hawaii. Yet Academy dot Com,

325
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: I bet does exist in Hawaii. Forgot to say that

326
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: last couple of shows. Academy dot Com. If you don't

327
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: have a store near you, Academy dot Com will get

328
00:14:54,280 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: you hooked up. Let's talk about something that is surprise,

329
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: like the most popular topic on the show. You guys

330
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: care about it, We're going to talk about it. Transfer

331
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: Portal got some buzz and intel for you, but also

332
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: some updated rankings. There's even been some movement on this

333
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: very Sunday afternoon. So let's just start off with talking

334
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: about how wild this has been. I mean, we've seen

335
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: a lot of movement. There's still kids in the portal.

336
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: The Transfer Portal is transforming college football. But I do

337
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: want to go to the twenty four to seven Sports

338
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: Latest Transfer Portal rankings because there's been some movement here,

339
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: and if you're getting ready for the season, I don't

340
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: care if you're betting it, if you just want to

341
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: be an informed fan, There's been a lot of movement.

342
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: Maybe you haven't kept up with it, doesn't matter. Just

343
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: pay attention right now. This is what you need to know.

344
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: The number one team in our twenty four to seven

345
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: Sports Transfer Portal rankings right now, USC they have taken

346
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: sixteen kids this cycle out of the transfer portal. That's

347
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: good for an eighty five point twelve ranking. They're just

348
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: ahead of Old miss as having the top overall portal class.

349
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: Now you know Caleb Williams, the quarterback at Oklahoma, followed

350
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: the link. Riley there, Mario Williams, the wide receiver Dido.

351
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: Those are very high profile additions. Travis Dye, the running

352
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: back from Oregon, should be high profile, and he is

353
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: on the West Coast. I haven't gotten the sense that

354
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: nationally he moved the needle as much as he should.

355
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: This is a thousand yard rusher. He's a twelve hundred

356
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: yard guy from last year. Six yards per carry. He

357
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: is a big time difference maker, veteran player. I think

358
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: he's been here four years at Oregon at least, so

359
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: he goes to USC. Also, Eric Gentry is a linebacker

360
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: that transferred from Arizona State recently. You got him Shane

361
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: Lee formerly at Alabama. So they still got a waste

362
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: to go on roster reconstruction. Lincoln Riley's just been open

363
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: about this, but bore. They went a long way in

364
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: doing it. They went far enough in the transfer portal

365
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: where they are such a wild card nationally this year

366
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: because you look at what they added and you look

367
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: at what they inherited, and you think, okay, if everything

368
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: were to go right, which would include Caleb Williams having

369
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: a superstar seed a quarterback and talent like Mario Williams

370
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: at the white opposition and Travis Dyett running back, if

371
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: all that went right like us, he could quite literally

372
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: phrase of the month, make the playoff. They could also

373
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: lose five games. It's such a wild card team this year,

374
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: usc number one transfer portal team, the number two ranked

375
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: team in the transfer portal, the Ole Miss Rebels. This

376
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: has changed even today, so they have added their fifteenth

377
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: transfer portal edition redundancy there in the sentence. I understand that,

378
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 1: but it is live, so we roll on. They've got

379
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: an eighty two point five ranking here. Jalen Robinson's the

380
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: kid they added today. Most of you don't know who

381
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: that is. That's fine. That's a one thousand yard receiver

382
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: kid from last year at UCF going to be dynamite

383
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: in their system. Have very little doubt about that. Probably

384
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: more of a slot receiver type. But also I had

385
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: to go in there today because they have so many

386
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: They've added fifteen kids. Like I said, listen to this,

387
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: so they have several kids rated four stars or higher

388
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: in the transfer portal, but it's not all stacked up

389
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: at one position.

390
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 2: Of the players.

391
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: Out of those fifteen kids that are rated four stars

392
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: or higher, one of them's a quarterback, one of them's a

393
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: running back, two tight ends. They got a safety, an

394
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: edge rusher, a linebacker, an offensive tackle, and a corner.

395
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: That's some versatility and variety of the four and five

396
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: star variety out of the transfer portal. Now the five

397
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: star is Jackson Dart the quarterback, and there's going to

398
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: be a lot said about him, as there should be.

399
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: I got some feedback from Ole Miss the other day,

400
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 1: and Zach Evans is going to be a monster this year.

401
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: That's a kid that came out of high school and

402
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: there were all kind of red flags around his name

403
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: and he ended up going to TCU. And I remember

404
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: vividly thinking to myself, if he doesn't pan out, okay,

405
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: all this has been validated. But you follow his career

406
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: and it hasn't been validated. He has not washed out

407
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: like a lot of people predicted. Quite the opposite. He's

408
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 1: thrived and now he's gone to old and because of

409
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 1: the quarterback transfer market understandably, so his transfer has been

410
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: covered up. You mark my words, Jackson Darter or not,

411
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: Zach Evans is going to be the guy who steals

412
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: the headlines from this transfer portal class. Jamiir Gibbs is

413
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: a big time get for Alabama running back. We're gonna

414
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: talk about him in a second. Wouldn't shock me at

415
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: all if Zach Evans is the best running back in

416
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: the SEC West this year, And I know how I

417
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: know what kind of mouthful that is, but I also

418
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: know what kind of player he is and what he's

419
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: probably going to be able to do in that system.

420
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 2: Zach Evans is going.

421
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: To blow it up this fall. Number three team LSU.

422
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: LSU took fifteen kids as well. Now this is not

423
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: a class that's as loaded up in terms of elite

424
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: talent as maybe Ole Miss or USC, but they had

425
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: to get quantity here. That roster situation was such that

426
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: they had to get some quantity. So LSU is at

427
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: seventy two point eighty five. That's the right rating on

428
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 1: this team, attentions at quarterback, the attentions on Jaden Daniels

429
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: as it should be, the transfer from Arizona State. Outside

430
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: of that, they got some line of scrimmage help here.

431
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they didn't, but there aren't a bunch

432
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: of headline grabbers. There is a lot of quantity that

433
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: they needed. And it's also it's so imperative that these

434
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: defensive backs they brought in all hit. They've got to

435
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: hit on all of them because they are replacing Eli

436
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: Rix who transferred to Alabama, They're replacing Mclothin, another dB

437
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: who transferred to Arkansas. They're replacing Derek Stingley who just

438
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: went in the NFL Draft.

439
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 2: They got to hit.

440
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: They can't afford injury, and they can't afford not to

441
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: hit on those guys. So keep an eye on the

442
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: dB position more so than anything outside of quarterback in

443
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: that transfer class. The number four team in the transfer

444
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 1: portal class right now is Oklahoma. They brought in twelve

445
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: kids overall. That's good for a sixty point oh six rating.

446
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: I know they got twelve here, but I don't know

447
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: just pound for pound, that there's a player that's been

448
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: more important in the transfer portal this entire cycle any

449
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 1: team than Dylan Gabriel. Because we did a segment the

450
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: other day about the most important players, most important quarterbacks,

451
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 1: and Dylan Gabriel was one of them, if not the

452
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: biggest one in the country. Because at Texas, if Quinn

453
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: you were just retired from football tomorrow, they have Hudson

454
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: card there. At Oklahoma, if Dylan Gabriel doesn't work out,

455
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: there's a big, big drop off. I saw they picked

456
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: up General Booty, which is not anyone in military garb,

457
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: but rather the actual name of a quarterback that is

458
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: headed to Norman General Booty g Booty as I liked calling,

459
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: for sure. But Dylan Gabriel's got to get it done now,

460
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: so I have no reason to believe he won't but

461
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: that's a guy, if you look at all these other classes,

462
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: that's a guy who probably has as much weight on

463
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: his shoulders as any other transfer out there. Because Oklahoma

464
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: right now is the odds on favorite to win the

465
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: Big Twelve. And if I were to take the name

466
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel just lied his name out of the lineup

467
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: sheet there, that would not be the case. So there's

468
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: a lot riding on Dylan Gabriel. And the number five

469
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: team is Alabama. What's different about Alabama? Well, every other

470
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: team that I've mentioned so far has at least twelve

471
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 1: kids in the transfer portal class. Bama's taken five. But

472
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: you know who they were?

473
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 2: I think you do.

474
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: Well. You got Jermaine Burton, who was George's best receiver.

475
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: You've got Jamiir Gibbs, who may have been the best

476
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: player in the ACC period at running back. You've got

477
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,959
Speaker 1: Eli Rix, best corner in the entire class. You got

478
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,959
Speaker 1: Tyler Harrell who was the wide receiver from Louisville. And

479
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: then you've got Tyler Steen, who is an offensive lineman

480
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: from Vanderbilt.

481
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 2: All these guys are plugging plays.

482
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 1: They wouldn't take him at Alabama if they weren't, but man,

483
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: they got some high quality players in this transfer portal class.

484
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: And there's really not much else to say because we've

485
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: talked about in the Bama class so much. It's just

486
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: noteworthy that they're sitting there all the way up at

487
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: number five and they only took five guys. It's just

488
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: the guys were so good that statistically they rated that high.

489
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 2: Some other classes to keep an eye on.

490
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: South Carolina is at seven, and of course you had

491
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: the Austin Stagner at tight end, Spencer Rattler at quarterback.

492
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,959
Speaker 1: Edition there keep an eye on them. Texas is at

493
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: number eight, But I wanted to go just outside the

494
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: top ten because there are two classes at number eleven

495
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: and number twelve that bear very very close watching. Arkansas

496
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: is at number eleven. They made some very very high

497
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: profile editions. I mentioned Mcloth and the dB from LSU.

498
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: He's been added there, but also Drew Sanders, former five

499
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: star outside linebacker, who has.

500
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,239
Speaker 2: No concern about him.

501
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: It's just Bama was loaded, so he went to Arkansas

502
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: immediate plug and play guy. They got big time wide

503
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: receiver talent, so they've got guys that are going to

504
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: be immediate difference makers and also Nebraska at number twelve.

505
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 1: Nebraska added a lot of kids, and Nebraska, we talked

506
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: about him a lot. They added quarterback Casey Thompson, and

507
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: they've added a lot of other guys that, for all

508
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: we know, could be the difference in a monumental leap

509
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: in overall win expectancy this year, because they weren't far

510
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: off last year. It's just they lost a lot of

511
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: games close. I don't know statistically, I don't know numerically,

512
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: point for point, game for game, how many points those

513
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: kids are worth. I just know if they're worth a

514
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: combined seven could be the difference in multiple games. So

515
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: keep an eye on that. That's the latest out of

516
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 1: the Transfer Portal. Really good feature over on twenty four

517
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: seven sports dot com right now if you want to

518
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: check some things out about that, and welcome in.

519
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 2: For those of you.

520
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: Watching live, I really appreciate that they're watching in Durant,

521
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: Oklahoma tonight. I also have an own very good authority.

522
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: They're watching in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Huntington, West Virginia, and Albany, Georgia,

523
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: home of the Albany Civic Center. I used to do

524
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: play by play for indoor football, and the Columbus Lions

525
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: went down to Albany on the regular and I have

526
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 1: called games in the Albany Civic Center. I bet you

527
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: didn't know that, because I think half of my family

528
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: didn't even know that. Here's what you guys do know.

529
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: You know how to bold bold predictions. The eighth chapter

530
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: in a very very gripping saga that is in Gulf

531
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: Late Kick, it is your prediction and it is my

532
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: boldness attached to the prediction. I'm going to tell you

533
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: how bold I think these are. First up tonight, LSU

534
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: year one under Brian Kelly. Well, how about this for boldness?

535
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: LSU will beat Alabama in Tiger Stadium first time in

536
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: twelve years. Yep, sure would be first stat I had

537
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 1: written down. Haven't done it since twenty ten, and that

538
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 1: was the year of AAMA lost three games. Now, there

539
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 1: have been some close games down there, but LSU has

540
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: been on the wrong side of all of them since then.

541
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 2: The preseason win.

542
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: Totals are already out for the SEC to give you

543
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: an idea of what kind of upset this would be.

544
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 1: At least as we see it here right now, Bama's

545
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,479
Speaker 1: over underwin total is eleven. LSU's over underwin total is seven,

546
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: so there are solid four games they wily to play

547
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: twelve guys, they're solid four games in the eyes of

548
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: odds makers separating these two teams. I just think this,

549
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: this is the wrong team to have questions in your

550
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: secondary against. I don't want to be replacing my entire

551
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: secondary And watched the Heisman Trophy winner with a re

552
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: stocked cupboard of receivers and adding Jamier Gibbs in the

553
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: backfield at running back for good measure.

554
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 2: I don't really like that.

555
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: And I've been in this building multiple times and watched

556
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: Alabama come in there. It's not in the cards this year,

557
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: I don't think. So I make this an eight. Why

558
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: don't I make it a ten? Because I have supreme

559
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: respect for the LSU environment, especially the game day atmosphere there, Like,

560
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: what else would I be speaking about because of Tiger Stadium.

561
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 1: This is not a ten. This is tough for me

562
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: to see this year. But here's one thing to keep

563
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: just in the back of your mind. Alabama went on

564
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,239
Speaker 1: the road last year several times against teams they were

565
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 1: favored by double digits against.

566
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 2: They barely beat Florida.

567
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: They went to quadruple overtime against Auburn. Before they won,

568
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: they did not beat Texas A and M, so maybe

569
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: that follows them around in year two with Bryce Young

570
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: as the starting quarterback, we'll see that's an eight for me.

571
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: Next up, this one is this one's bold. JJ McCarthy

572
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: leads Michigan back to the playoff and finish his top

573
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: five in the Heisman. This is a nine point nine

574
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: to eight only because I don't want to go to

575
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 1: ten yet, because we've got some foolishness later on in

576
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: this segment. That will be the first time we have

577
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: broached the ten on the one to ten boldness scale.

578
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: If you want to talk to me strictly about Michigan

579
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 1: making the playoff, I.

580
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 2: Will listen to you.

581
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: It's still kind of bold, but I will absolutely listen

582
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: to you because they proved a whole lot last year.

583
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: They shattered the glass ceiling. Anything is possible. You get

584
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: all the phrases. However, it is my opinion that if

585
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: Michigan were to return to the playoff this year, it

586
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: would be utilizing an offensive style totally antithetical to what

587
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: would need to happen to get JJ McCarthy in the

588
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: Heisman conversation. I think they would go completely ground and pound.

589
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: Josh Gaddis went off to Miami, so it's a new system,

590
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: it's a new offensive coordinator. But also I think they'll

591
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: revert in many ways to what did work for him

592
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: last year and what's worked for him in the past.

593
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 1: So if Michigan's winning games this year, I don't think

594
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: it's called. They're putting up big numbers at quarterback. And secondly,

595
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: who in the world even says JJ McCarthy is going

596
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: to get the requisite snaps in order to do that?

597
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: Last I checked Kate McNamara still alive. He didn't go anywhere,

598
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: he didn't retire from football, So that may be your

599
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: starter again this year. And as recently as March, I'm

600
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: sitting here listening to Jim Harbaugh talk about JJ McCarthy's shoulder.

601
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of optimism out there. I'm

602
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: not his doctor, nor have I talked to his doctor,

603
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: So for all of those reasons, it is very hard

604
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: for me to see. The second part. You could maybe

605
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: sell me on Michigan making another run of the playoff.

606
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: I will listen to that. I don't think it's going

607
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: to coincide with a JJ McCarthy Heisman run. That's a

608
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: nine point nine to eight. That's really bold. Next up,

609
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: this one's fairly bold too, but not out of the

610
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: realm of possibility.

611
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna give it a seven. Here's here's the prediction.

612
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 2: Will says.

613
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: In fact, Will works for twenty four to seven, so

614
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: he's one of us. He says, very hot topic in

615
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: the twenty four to seven sports desk slack room. I

616
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: peruse it from time to time. He said, no, big

617
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: twelve teams will win ten regular season games? All right,

618
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: how rare would this be? Well, three of them did

619
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: it last year. Two of them won twelve games last year,

620
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: so Baylor won twelve, Oklahoma State one twelve, Ou ended

621
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: up winning eleven games. We go further, according to stats

622
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: and info, we know who that is. Over the past decade,

623
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: at least one double digit winner in the conference every year,

624
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: and all but one year we've had at least two

625
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: double digit winners. So we would have to have something

626
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,959
Speaker 1: occur here that has not occurred in the last decade.

627
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: And by the way, the last time it didn't happen

628
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: was twenty twenty, and that's when they didn't play as

629
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: many games as they normally do, So, yeah, this normally happens,

630
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: and it normally happens more than just once. So I

631
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: think this is a seven. Now you would think looking

632
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: at the chart, if you're looking on YouTube, it never

633
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: even comes.

634
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 2: Close to happening.

635
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: Why isn't this a nine point nine to eight or higher?

636
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: Because I think the Big Twelve has some real demolition

637
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: Derby vibes coming out of it this year. I could

638
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: see a world where we have like four or five

639
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: teams with seven or eight wins, nine wins in the

640
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: seven and nine win range, but we don't have a

641
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: single one cracking the double digit win mark. I could

642
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: see that. Therefore, because of that reason, I'm not going

643
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: to go higher than just a seven.

644
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 2: The demolition Derby vibe. Do you feel that? Do a

645
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 2: lot of you feel that about the Big twelve?

646
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: Do you feel like there is a solid favorite that's

647
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: going to rise out amongst the rest of the pack

648
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: out there because Baylor won the conference last year, there's

649
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: a lot of overturn there. I trust Dave Randa implicitly,

650
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of turnover there. That quarterback situation

651
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: is kind of fascinating. I mean, Jerry Bohannon started last year,

652
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: lost the job in spring. Dave Randa let him know

653
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: he lost the job. He transferred, So that's fun to watch.

654
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: I had Oklahoma. We know all about the turnover there,

655
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State eight. We just did a lengthy segment the

656
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: other night, and yet here I am doubting they can

657
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: win ten games.

658
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 2: Again.

659
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: I think one of them's gonna win ten games. So

660
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: I put this at the seven. I think one of

661
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: them's gonna win ten games. So this is pretty bold

662
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: to me. There's the big twelve final standings from last year.

663
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: By the way, as you see, twelve wins, twelve wins,

664
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: eleven wins. Then was the drop off to a team

665
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: that I'm about to mention in a second. Next up,

666
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: another one of these Heisman predictions. I almost never get

667
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: on board with it. We're going to my home state

668
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: and we're talking about Kenny McIntosh running back for Georgia.

669
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: You'll know his name this year if you don't already

670
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: prediction Kenny McIntosh will be in the Heisman race. I'll

671
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: die on that hill. Well, I say, get the coffin ready,

672
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: because this is an eight. I don't think Kenny McIntosh

673
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: is gonna be in the Heisman conversation. That's not me

674
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: doubting Kenny McIntosh. It's me knowing Georgia football. I've gone

675
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: on the record already. You can throw the tight ends

676
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: in there. Brock Bowers is one of the best players

677
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: in America. I think Kenny McIntosh will be a breakout

678
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: performer at the tailback position this year. Like I said,

679
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: you will know his name even if you don't know

680
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: it now. I just don't think the offensive production will

681
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: be there. This is a compliment to Georgia. They have

682
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: a style, they have perfected it. I don't know if

683
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: you were around in January they just won a national title.

684
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: It simply does not lend itself to stand out statistical

685
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: offensive performances. Not only that, we're talking about a running

686
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: back here. We're talking about trying to get a running

687
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: back to New York City. What do you have to

688
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: have there? You have to have a feature tailback. You

689
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: got to have one guy carrying the lion's.

690
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 2: Share of the load.

691
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: Every year Kirby's been there, aside from one, they've had

692
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: at least two guys towed it ninety times or more.

693
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: They don't do it the way that some places do it,

694
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: where they feature a back.

695
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 2: They don't see the.

696
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: Upside in it. They're not trying to win Heisman's. They're

697
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: trying to win games, and they've gotten really good at it.

698
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: So I don't even think if you were to take

699
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: last year's total offensive output at the running back position

700
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: and put it in one body, let's say Kenny McIntosh,

701
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have been good enough anyway. They were one

702
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety one rush yards per game last year.

703
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: That was thirty seventh in FBS. So you're giving me

704
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: a downgraded defense, don't know how much, but a downgraded

705
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: defense this year. Therefore, I may not get as many possessions,

706
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: and when I do, I've got the best wide receiver

707
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: stable that I've had. I just don't see how that

708
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: equates to Kenny McIntosh's stat line being good enough to send.

709
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 2: To New York.

710
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: He'll be plenty good enough football player. You know, I'm

711
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: not about the Heisman. I don't waste a lot of

712
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: time on it. But you also know what it takes

713
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: to win that award, and it's all about numbers. I

714
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: just don't think he's gonna have the numbers. So Heisman.

715
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: I almost always say that because it's a hard award

716
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: to win. Even if you're great, it's a hard award

717
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: to win. Man, if you're playing the style of football

718
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: Georgia does, that's probably not the right ingredients to send

719
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: you to New York. Here's one that pains me immensely

720
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: to even mention. Mike suggested that Iowa State will win

721
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: nine games and they will reach the Big Twelve title

722
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: game in a rugged Big Twelve season. Well, I think

723
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: he was accurate in describing what will be a rugged

724
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: Big Twelve season. I think we can all agree Iowa

725
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: State is one of the greatest things that our country

726
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: has ever produced. I have solid bias here. If you

727
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: want to claim it, I'll beat you to the punch.

728
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: I am an Iowa State fan, love the program. However,

729
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: I do not find nine wins here. I mean Jesse

730
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: informed me earlier AKA Stats and the Info that according

731
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: to Bill Connelly's returning production metrics, this is a frightening statistic.

732
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: They are one hundred and twenty eight out of one

733
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty one teams in the United States of

734
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: America at the FBS level when it comes to returning

735
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:49,439
Speaker 1: production This is not the kind of program, even under

736
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: Matt Campbell, that just reloads at the nine or ten

737
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: win level every single year. When you lose an established

738
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: multi year starter at quarterback and you lose I got

739
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: like Hall and you're one hundred and twenty eighth in

740
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: total returning production, you don't just know what you know

741
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: what this program is. I know what this program is.

742
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: This is not a program where you ever walk around

743
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: ames Iowa yelling, hey, we don't rebuild, we just reload.

744
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: That's not the kind of program this is. So you

745
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: can have supreme respect for the staff, which I do

746
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: and still understand it would be natural to expect a

747
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 1: little bit of a downturn this year record wise, doesn't

748
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: make the program any worse of a program.

749
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 2: But man nine.

750
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: Wins this year, and if you look at the schedule,

751
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: now Colin probably already put it up. But if you

752
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:38,720
Speaker 1: look at their schedule, this is tough. They play Iowa,

753
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 1: that's the out of conference they do that every year.

754
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 2: They have to go there.

755
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,919
Speaker 1: They got Baylor on the twenty fourth, it's a round

756
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: robin's schedule.

757
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 2: But listen to the order of these games.

758
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: Kansas State, which I think is a big twelve sleeper

759
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: at Texas the next week, then they have a bye.

760
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,479
Speaker 1: They get Oklahoma at home on a Thursday night, which

761
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: is very tantalizing, and then they got West Virginia and

762
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: then they go to Oklahoma State and then they at

763
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: Texas Tech, another sleeper team.

764
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 2: To me, in the Big Twelve this year.

765
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: There is no rest and this is not this is

766
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: not a cupboard so loaded that you may never afford

767
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: to overlook any of these games. So that's four losses

768
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: minimum to me. That's just the way I see the

769
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: program this year. But then again, those of you who've

770
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: been around a little while know how I saw the

771
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: program last year. So maybe I just have a bad

772
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: read on Iowa State. I would love for that to

773
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: be the case at this particular time, because my read

774
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: on them this year is it's going to be really

775
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: hard to win nine games, so double digit win season.

776
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 2: Maybe it's Iowa.

777
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: State that gets it done in the Big Twelve. Lastly,

778
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: I need to point out something to you, so if

779
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: you're listening on podcasts, I'll do my best to explain

780
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: to you the monstrosity of a tweet that we got.

781
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: Lance does great work on our podcasting front and That's

782
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,760
Speaker 1: about where the compliments will end for Lance tonight, because

783
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 1: not only did he make a bowl of prediction, he

784
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: bet one dollar and fifty cents of his hard earned

785
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: money on it. And that is Rutgers to win a

786
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: national championship. Rutgers is at plus fifty thousand odds. He's

787
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: betting one fifty one dollar fifty cent, mind you, to

788
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: win seven hundred and fifty one dollars and fifty cent.

789
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: This is not a joke for him. This is his lifestyle.

790
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 2: Lance.

791
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 1: If he were in pro wrestling, he would be doing

792
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 1: what is called living your gimmick. Oftentimes that's a lie.

793
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: Every once or twice a month, I'll actually show up

794
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 1: to a meeting on time around here, and Lance always

795
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: shows up early. And he is like a wind up

796
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: doll when it comes to Rutgers. He's like to pull

797
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: a string. Only when you pull a string on him,

798
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: if you don't take the doll and throw it out

799
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: the window, it just doesn't stop. It just talks about Rutgers, Rutgers, Rutgers.

800
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: Jersey reference, Sopranos reference, Rutgers, Rutgers, Rutgers. I swear to

801
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: you he knows more about the team than greg Ciano does,

802
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: and Greg Ciano's the head coach, could probably learn a

803
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: thing or two from Lance. But this is ridiculous. This

804
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: is preposterous. On a scale of one to ten boldness,

805
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: I've got this at a forty three, So I hope

806
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: you enjoyed that one point fifty. You will not be

807
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: together much longer. But I texted him today and I

808
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 1: told him I was putting I told him I was

809
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: putting Rutgers in the show. And he's all worried about

810
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: what I'm going to say about his team up there.

811
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm not trashing your team, Lance, I'm just trashing you,

812
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: and it's probably the way he would have wanted to go.

813
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: So there's our boldness eight point zero. I don't think

814
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: there's any end insight. I think we're going into a

815
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: tenth chapter at least with the bold predictions.

816
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 2: Why, because I'm having fun with it.

817
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 1: You guys are really really enjoying watching it when we

818
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: put it up. Yes, rest in peace, Lance. A lot

819
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: of love for Lance in the live chat. At least

820
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 1: someone stood up for him. It's good to see Patrice

821
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: back tonight. Where has she been? Patrice Love back in

822
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: the live chat? Long time fan of the program and

823
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:49,240
Speaker 1: friend of the show, even back in our independent dark

824
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: Columbus days. She's been around. Okay, let's dive into the mailbag.

825
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 1: Got a couple to get to here. First question is

826
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: from Courtney, and Courtney says, I think Brent Vinnables can

827
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: win the Big twelve new head coach at Oklahoma. Obviously,

828
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:06,320
Speaker 1: but she continues, or maybe he continues, we'll see can

829
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: he win in the SEC? Can Brent Vinibles win in

830
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: the SEC when they make the move? Okay, what do

831
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: we know about Brenton Vinibles? Well, we know there are

832
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: always some unknowns if you haven't been a head coach before,

833
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: well documented on this show. I don't know how you're

834
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: going to handle community relations because you've never done it

835
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: as a head coach. I don't know how you're going

836
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: to handle your staff you've never done it as a

837
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: head coach. So a lot of the stuff that I

838
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: can't possibly know that's an obvious remains to be seen.

839
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 1: I will say this about Brent Vinibles. Every box that

840
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: Oklahoma could require to be checked, he checked everything they

841
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: can know about him. He passed that test in spade.

842
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: So he's the head coach there right now now, what

843
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 1: else do we know about him? He had a lot

844
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: of offers before. See, you know my philosophy. If you've

845
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: watched the show for a while, I always told you

846
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: if if Peate State University is a Tier one program,

847
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: always been my personal philosophy. I don't believe in hiring

848
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 1: guys who have not been a head coach, because if

849
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: I'm at the top of the food chain, I don't

850
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: have to do that. I can afford to be so

851
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: selective that I only choose from guys who have proven

852
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 1: they can do it. But if I made an exception,

853
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: it would be a guy like Venables. He's not thirty

854
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 1: three years old. He's not a hot shot coordinator. He's

855
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: in his fifties. He's fifty one years old. So he's

856
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: still young enough to have a fifteen year run in

857
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: him if he's the right guy and it pans out.

858
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: But he also has so much experience. He's been in

859
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,959
Speaker 1: eight national title games, he's won three of them. He's

860
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: turned down many offers, so he could have left clumbs

861
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: in a long time ago. Why is that important to me? Well,

862
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:47,280
Speaker 1: it's important because if I'm running things at Oklahoma, obviously

863
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm not the only one who saw head coaching potential

864
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: in him. A lot of other programs have. But also

865
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: he was so selective he didn't take any of him.

866
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: He took mine. What does that tell me about Oklahoma?

867
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 1: What does that tell me about my job? It tells

868
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 1: me it was desirable. He's not a mercenary. He's not

869
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: coming through here on a stepping stone up to the

870
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 1: next level.

871
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 2: And two eventually gets where he wants to go.

872
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: This is where he wants to go. So I think,

873
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: in fact, I know if I'm Oklahoma, Briton Vinibles certainly

874
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 1: gets Oklahoma. He's been here before he gets Oklahoma. I

875
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: cut him open. Oklahoma comes up. Same thing we say

876
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: about Sam Pittman. But also he knows how to sell Oklahoma.

877
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: It really doesn't matter if you get it, if you

878
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: can't make anyone else get it. He can make other

879
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,879
Speaker 1: folks get it. I don't doubt their recruiting prowess under

880
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: Brent Venables. And also he gets that he has to

881
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: recruit and operate at a different level. There have already

882
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,959
Speaker 1: been several times before he's ever coached a game there

883
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: that he's been asked about this kind of stuff, like

884
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: Courtney just mentioned, is Brent Venables ready for the SEC.

885
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 2: He has brought it up several times.

886
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: I mean he went on a rant for like six

887
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,760
Speaker 1: minutes a couple of months ago talking to the fans

888
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,479
Speaker 1: I think it was before the Spring game, and boy

889
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: did they respond, and he was talking about what it's

890
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: gonna take, not just this year, but eventually when we

891
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: get to the SEC. You know, he's kind of speaking

892
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: from quasi experience because Clemson was always kind of viewed

893
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: as an SEC program that just happened to be in

894
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: another conference. And he was telling them everything that you

895
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: think is good enough has to be better. We have

896
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: got to be better in every phase. We got to

897
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 1: be better. He cares around that big binder what he calls.

898
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: It escapes me at the moment, but it's just upping

899
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: your level of performance. It's maximizing your output in every

900
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: facet of your program. And that doesn't stop once you

901
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: leave the four walls of the athletic complex. It extends

902
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: into the fan base as well. That stuff's real. That's

903
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,720
Speaker 1: not just raw ras stuff. That stuff's real that matters.

904
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: You will see results in the positive on the recruiting front.

905
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: From what they did at the spring game, a lot

906
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: of folks mocked it. I don't really care. If I'm

907
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 1: an Oklahoma fan, that stuff matters, matters a lot. You'll

908
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: see it'll pay dividends.

909
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 2: But also with.

910
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 1: Venables, that's a guy who gets where they're headed in

911
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 1: terms of roster construction, talent acquisition development. He's competed against him.

912
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: He was sixteen and seven against the see at Clemson,

913
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: a lot of that South Carolina in lean years.

914
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 2: I get that.

915
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: They also went up against Nick Saban multiple times, so

916
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: they faced the.

917
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 2: Best of the best of the best.

918
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: They played Ohio State too, They've played the best of

919
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: the best.

920
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 2: He gets it. I have no doubt about that.

921
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: The only thing that leads me to remain, you know,

922
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:21,280
Speaker 1: not a slam dunky.

923
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 2: Yes on.

924
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: This is just the unknown stuff, and it wouldn't be

925
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: any different to me if he was the head coach

926
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: at Arizona and you asked me, can he win in

927
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: the Pac twelve?

928
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 2: It's unknown until you prove it.

929
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: I don't know how to predict how a first time

930
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:35,879
Speaker 1: head coach is going to handle being a head coach.

931
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: I just don't.

932
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 2: I don't know.

933
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: Brent Venables personally, But even if you did know him personally,

934
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: I mean, think about how many times guys who have

935
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 1: been fast tracked to being a head coach and they

936
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,919
Speaker 1: were just perceived to be slam dunks. Will mush Champ

937
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 1: at one point in his career everyone thought Will mush

938
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: Champ was a slam dunk, and you ask folks around

939
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 1: him and everyone would have said, yeah, he ear mark him,

940
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: he's special. He's gonna end up doing this for a

941
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,359
Speaker 1: long time. Well where's he at right now? He wasn't

942
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 1: a total and complete disaster, but he was never a superstar,

943
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: transcendently great head coach. There's just stuff you don't know.

944
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: And like I've told you before, I believe it's harder

945
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: to be a new head coach in today's game than

946
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: it ever has been because there's just more on your

947
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: plate now. There are things that exist in this sport

948
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: that you have to be a master of, or at

949
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 1: least delegate mastery of, that didn't even exist ten years ago.

950
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, I believe in Brent Venables, but it's not

951
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: hating at all to say there's still a lot of

952
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: unknown there. So I think to answer the question, I

953
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:42,280
Speaker 1: think he'll be able to lead Oklahoma into the SEC.

954
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 2: The other thing before we move on. Is what's the

955
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 2: expectation level?

956
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,879
Speaker 1: Because if you're trying to come into the SEC and

957
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: you're saying, all right, we got to be in the

958
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: National Championship every three years, right, that's not realistic. It's possible,

959
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: that's not realistic. What I expect Oklahoma to be when

960
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 1: they come into the SEC is a pro perennial tough out,

961
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: a contender, a team that has the roster, has the staff,

962
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: has the stability, has the year over year investment resources

963
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 1: to be a player every year. If you put yourself

964
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 1: in that position, the same thing George has done, eventually

965
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: you just swing every year and you hit the pinata,

966
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: maybe you hit it four or five times, and you

967
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: end up being a Hall of Famer and a legend

968
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: and they build a statue of you. But that's what

969
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: I expect Oklahoma to be. And based on my expectation, yes,

970
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: I think Brent Venables can make Oklahoma that in the

971
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: SEC and maybe the Big twelve two. Moving on, last

972
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,399
Speaker 1: question here, Now this is a good one because I'm

973
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: gonna take a little bit different angle than maybe a

974
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: lot of folks would. Softball sal probably a friend of ours,

975
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,399
Speaker 1: and we don't know it my family and I love

976
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: the show. Question, will more coaches start leaving college football?

977
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 2: With the way everything is becoming?

978
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: Notice the hashtags, pay state one hundred k, subscribe to

979
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: the channel.

980
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 2: We're almost there.

981
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:54,800
Speaker 1: Got close.

982
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 2: Yes to answer Softball Sal's question.

983
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,280
Speaker 1: Yes, I think coach will continue to leave college football,

984
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: as I have played on the show a few times.

985
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,439
Speaker 1: At Kirby Smart clip the day after the National Championship game,

986
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: very prophetic. Kirby Smart took time that he was given

987
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: on ESPN big global platform and twenty four hours or

988
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 1: less removed from winning a title, still got confetti in

989
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,439
Speaker 1: his hair. And what is Kirby Smart taking the time

990
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: to talk about, taking the time to talk about the

991
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:25,800
Speaker 1: structure and the direction of the sport.

992
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 2: Doesn't like where it's headed. Good men are.

993
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 1: Leaving the game college game because they can't take it anymore.

994
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: What happened a couple of weeks later, Matt Luke, his

995
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: offensive line coach, didn't go to the NFL, he didn't

996
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 1: go to another college. He just retired, said I can't

997
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,479
Speaker 1: take this anymore. Want to be with his family. That's

998
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 1: not the end of it, that's just the beginning. So

999
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: what is the reason there will workload disproportionate to what

1000
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: it's ever been in this sport. I know technology has

1001
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 1: made a lot of the day to day of a

1002
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: college coach easier, but there's also some Let's just be

1003
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: honest and put it all on the table that you're

1004
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: dealing with if you're a defensive backs coach at Oklahoma

1005
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: State today, that the DB's coach at Oklahoma State in

1006
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy seven didn't even know existed, much less had

1007
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: to deal with. So there's a whole lot more on

1008
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 1: your plate. I can guarantee you the DB's coach at

1009
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:21,240
Speaker 1: Missouri in nineteen seventy seven was not recruiting four classes simultaneously.

1010
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, re recruiting his own roster

1011
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: to make sure they don't go out the door. I mean,

1012
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 1: were they even worried about scouting college talent. No, they

1013
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: didn't have college scouting departments because once you were on campus,

1014
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: you were on campus. They didn't need to worry about

1015
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 1: the transfer portal. It didn't exist. There's so much more

1016
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:42,720
Speaker 1: that you have to worry about as an assistant coach.

1017
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: Everyone looks at the salaries, and everyone thinks you can

1018
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 1: just throw a certain dollar figure at someone and it

1019
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,439
Speaker 1: creates twenty eight hours in their day. You can only

1020
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 1: do what you can do. I didn't matter if I

1021
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: make you a billionaire. You're capable of what you're capable of.

1022
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 1: And every man's got a breaking point. Everyone's got a

1023
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: breaking point mentally, and once you reach it, you reach it.

1024
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: And some guys are leaving the sport because they know

1025
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 1: they're getting really close to it. Some guys are like

1026
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: Nick Saban and Kirby Smart. Those guys are robots. This

1027
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: will not be a problem for them. They are wizards,

1028
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 1: they are witches. They are different. They're not normal people.

1029
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 1: Most of them, ninety nine point nine percent even in

1030
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 1: that world, are not like them. And so yes, I

1031
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 1: think there is a workload issue that could crop up.

1032
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,280
Speaker 1: I also think there is some folks, There are probably

1033
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 1: some folks in the coaching profession that can handle the

1034
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: workload that may look at the overall as they would

1035
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: probably call it erosion of the bedrock of college football.

1036
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: Maybe there are guys out there, like it's happening in

1037
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 1: college basketball right now, who look and say, I don't

1038
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 1: like what this is becoming. I don't like where this

1039
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 1: has headed. Let me give it a couple more years.

1040
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: You know, maybe maybe things will get steadied and the

1041
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: ship will get righted. But if it keeps going this direction,

1042
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 1: I don't need this. Plus I got options. Maybe I'll

1043
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: go to the pros, which is number three. It used

1044
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: to be that the NFL was a tougher place to

1045
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 1: work than college. That is not the case anymore. It's

1046
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 1: not remotely the case anymore. I was talking to someone

1047
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago who was on a major

1048
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: staff in the SEC within the last ten years, let's say,

1049
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 1: and they are in the NFL now. And I asked,

1050
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 1: not that I didn't already know the answer, but just validated.

1051
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 1: I said, compare what you did at filling the blank

1052
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: university day to day with what it's like now in

1053
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,800
Speaker 1: the NFL. He said, I will never go back to college.

1054
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: If I don't have to, I'll never go back. I

1055
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,359
Speaker 1: love the relationships with the kids. I love being part

1056
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: of developing guys at those premium points in their lives.

1057
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 1: But I've got a life, Like I go home. I've

1058
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: got a home life. We I mean, we work harder

1059
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:47,320
Speaker 1: than an insurance salesman, yeah, but we've got time to ourselves.

1060
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: I did not have that in college, So you got

1061
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: that guys with options at the pro level are just

1062
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 1: going to the pro level. And fourthly, now this is

1063
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,240
Speaker 1: one that I want you to think about that's evolving rapidly.

1064
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 1: The opportunity on tele vision is unlike it's ever been before.

1065
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 1: You may have noticed that Tom Brady signed a pretty

1066
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 1: revolutionary deal with Fox on the NFL side of things recently.

1067
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: The number one reason is revolutionary's cause he's still playing.

1068
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 1: And the other reason is because he's going to be

1069
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 1: paid thirty seven million dollars a year to sit in

1070
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: a broadcast booth. Did you hear what I said? This

1071
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 1: is not This is not the metric system. Inflation is

1072
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 1: not that out of control yet thirty seven mil, I

1073
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:34,959
Speaker 1: think thirty seven point five. Don't let me short change

1074
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:38,919
Speaker 1: Thomas thirty seven point five million a year. Anyway, there

1075
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: are salaries that are being paid to a level.

1076
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 2: Broadcasters. Kurbstreet is getting.

1077
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 1: Eighteen or something million a year I think from Amazon.

1078
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:52,240
Speaker 1: Ditto for Troy eight Men. Joe bought fifteen some million

1079
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: a year to go call the games for ESPN. Their

1080
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 1: Monday night football broadcast booth is over thirty million a

1081
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 1: year just in the booth that is prime investment. A

1082
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: lot of you guys don't think it's worth it. I

1083
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 1: can promise you if you were to see the minute

1084
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,720
Speaker 1: over minute and quarterlyes and audience retention and Q rating

1085
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: and you had the pocketbook, you would be paying every

1086
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 1: dime these networks are paying. You don't think it's worth

1087
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 1: it because you say to yourself, oh, I'm watching football regardless,

1088
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: I never tune in for a broadcaster.

1089
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 2: I know you don't. I don't either. A lot of

1090
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 2: other people do.

1091
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: We are the p ones. We're going to be there

1092
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 1: no matter what.

1093
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:25,800
Speaker 2: Believe it or not. They can take us for granted.

1094
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 2: There are some other.

1095
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 1: Folks, casuals maybe even that are drawn to that sort

1096
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 1: of thing. So in college, guess what's about to happen.

1097
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 1: What's about to happen is a lot more of the

1098
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 1: streaming giants are going to get in the college football game. Also,

1099
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: you've got different franchise products like College Game Day for example,

1100
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: that you could easily see in the coming years having

1101
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: to make personnel decisions. And you've got coaches that are

1102
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,919
Speaker 1: making eight million dollars a year right now that could

1103
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: go double their salary for a tenth of the workload,

1104
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: or maybe not even that, probably a twentieth of the

1105
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 1: workload per year that they currently do. They could go

1106
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: talk in a microphone and double their salary and cut

1107
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 1: their workload by who knows how many fractions. Someone's going

1108
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 1: to do it, and then about two or three or

1109
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 1: four of them are going to do it, and all

1110
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're going to be looking, and you're

1111
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 1: going to be seeing guys who should still be in

1112
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 1: some of the primes of their careers sitting there talking

1113
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 1: to you. Every Saturday, maybe in a broadcast booth, maybe

1114
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,359
Speaker 1: on college game day, maybe on shows that are yet

1115
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,359
Speaker 1: to even be invented. Maybe I'm doing something with one

1116
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: or two of them. People are talking about it in

1117
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: our world. The reason I'm mentioning this is not just

1118
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 1: I'm not just speaking extporaneously. People are talking about this.

1119
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 1: So there are some wheels already in motion. There are

1120
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 1: some efforts already underway. There are some offers, probably verbal

1121
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 1: in nature. I would categorize them as already out to

1122
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 1: some guys that are perceived to be more close to

1123
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 1: the retirement age than just the I'm out of here age.

1124
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 1: It's going to happen in college football I hope it'll

1125
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 1: be entertaining, but it will be a shakeup to the sport.

1126
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: Just happen in basketball. I think something like that will

1127
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 1: happen in college football. Don't want it to happen, but

1128
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: I think it will happen. I appreciate you guys being

1129
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 1: tuned in. Look, we've got to get to one hundred

1130
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 1: k Okay, I'm adamant about this, and here's what I

1131
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: really want. I would love for us to get to

1132
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:20,960
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand subs on this channel.

1133
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,399
Speaker 2: Before like media days. I don't even want to get into.

1134
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: Fall camp and have to worry about it. So I

1135
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: want to know what that surprise is from management. I

1136
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: want you to know it. We've already got a lot

1137
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 1: of other stuff in the works that we have direct

1138
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 1: control over, but that I don't have control over. You

1139
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 1: have control over that. So if you've already subscribed to

1140
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 1: the YouTube channel, thank you. If you have subscribed to

1141
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 1: the podcast, thank you. Fifty nine I think fifty nine

1142
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: percent of you are not subscribed, So it's as easy

1143
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: as dragging that little mouse over that red button subscribe,

1144
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 1: and then you're done, and that's it. I thank you

1146
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: think you in advance. You probably just haven't done it

1147
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 1: because you're like me and don't subscribe to most channels.

1148
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:01,719

1149
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,600

1150
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: of subscribing for the recently returned producer Jesse.

1151
