Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal. Come that for me. I'm
Speaker 1: a man, I'm forty. I've heard so many players say, well,
Speaker 1: I want to be happy. You want to be happy
Speaker 1: for day Edith State?
Speaker 2: Is that? Whoo whoom? And Dan and Tye, welcome back
Speaker 2: to the solid verbal, boys and girls. My name is
Speaker 2: ty Hillebrandt joining me as always a fine gentleman. Now
Speaker 2: marry gentleman, a proper gentleman over there in New York
Speaker 2: f in City. Dan Rubinstein, how are you, sir, Tie?
Speaker 1: It is a joy and pleasure. As always, I'm doing
Speaker 1: pretty well. It's a busy time, so we're recording this
Speaker 1: Wednesday evening. The NBA Draft is tomorrow nights. Will you
Speaker 1: watch any of that? By the way, are you invested
Speaker 1: at all?
Speaker 2: Nope?
Speaker 1: Okay, well I am because I have to work during
Speaker 1: it for the day job. But it's sort of a
Speaker 1: hectic time because we've got all sorts of college football
Speaker 1: shows that we're planning and working on, and the season
Speaker 1: is actually not all that far away, ty No, it's not.
Speaker 1: It is late June. We're almost into July, which is
Speaker 1: conference media days and conversations begin in earnest. I saw
Speaker 1: that the magazines are out. Have you picked up any
Speaker 1: of those?
Speaker 2: I haven't yet, And you know what, I haven't been
Speaker 2: a couple of years, to be perfectly honest. I've seen
Speaker 2: the Athlon, yeah, for a couple of years running now
Speaker 2: because they've been kind enough to send it to us.
Speaker 1: Get at me Athlon, by the way, I have a
Speaker 1: new address, get at me. Would love to see some
Speaker 1: Athlon materials.
Speaker 2: I have not seen Phil Steele though in a couple
Speaker 2: of years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I haven't picked any of those up yet,
Speaker 1: but it's we're right there and one of the things
Speaker 1: we like to do going into summer, and we have
Speaker 1: specific theme shows still planned out. I think we've got
Speaker 1: another how College Football Works episode under wraps in in production,
Speaker 1: sort of figuring things out. We've got a specialized show
Speaker 1: with Bill Barnwell, our friend who covers the NFL DESPN.
Speaker 1: We did the Emo show Emo and Pop Punk Show
Speaker 1: with him last year. We have a follow up non
Speaker 1: emo show, No Emo important definitely off topic, yes, And
Speaker 1: we have the exhaustive and nerdy and ever so navel
Speaker 1: gazing episode uh sort of dedicated to the history of
Speaker 1: the solid verbal how it all happened? We get tweets.
Speaker 1: We still get tweets all the time, like when we
Speaker 1: ask for a question like how did you two come together?
Speaker 1: My two favorite tweets yeah, or what are nails?
Speaker 2: Are? A? The ones where they mix you and eye up,
Speaker 2: which happens all the time.
Speaker 1: What's Dan's secret day job? Right?
Speaker 2: And B. On a very personal note, the people who
Speaker 2: spell my name I'm assuming incorrectly, but I can never
Speaker 2: quite tell because it has happened inadvertently, totally innocently in
Speaker 2: the past where they spell thie Thai.
Speaker 1: Is that true?
Speaker 2: That is true? I get. I get a couple of
Speaker 2: those a year, either via Twitter or email. And obviously
Speaker 2: you know that's not a major talking point as we
Speaker 2: get into the history of show that again we're going
Speaker 2: to do later on in July. But an important little
Speaker 2: side note something that I appreciate.
Speaker 1: I do have a follow up from last week, because,
Speaker 1: as you know, when you're married, it's a partnership tie
Speaker 1: it is it's it's communication, it's making sure you're on
Speaker 1: the same page. And because we are doing a show
Speaker 1: dedicated today to a summer love summer crushes, I'm kind
Speaker 1: of going to love Dan. You know what that's about, right,
Speaker 1: I do know what that's about tie. Yeah, I've had
Speaker 1: many summer crushes. I no longer do just one right,
Speaker 1: but I do have breaking news, tie breaking news. Do
Speaker 1: you want to play the sound if you have it
Speaker 1: at your It's been a while we have break now.
Speaker 1: I don't know what we are going to call her
Speaker 1: long term and the way that we call your lovely
Speaker 1: wife Kate, solid wife Kate.
Speaker 2: How are we doing this now?
Speaker 1: But I do have permission. Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa wow,
Speaker 1: double sound effect. It's the solid wife, Rihanna, It's the
Speaker 1: it is. And how did I know you were going
Speaker 1: to go there? No, my wife's name is Jody with
Speaker 1: an I, Jody with an eye, and maybe we'll just
Speaker 1: always say Jody with an eye because I do get
Speaker 1: a little bit infuriated when I see jod Y. But
Speaker 1: Jody with an eye. She is from Chicago, she went
Speaker 1: to Michigan. She is much smarter and better looking than
Speaker 1: I am, and she still decided to marry me. And
Speaker 1: I don't think she knows how to listen to podcasts,
Speaker 1: so that's probably for the best. We're cool. We're cool,
Speaker 1: but yeah, named after Chicago cub from the eighties, Jody
Speaker 1: Davis and if you've ever listened to Andy Staples show
Speaker 1: on Sirius XM, which maybe we don't have a lot
Speaker 1: of crossover, but every single time I'm on, Andy introduces
Speaker 1: me as Dan Rubenstein espianation, the solid verbal, and I always,
Speaker 1: of course think of Dan's I guess then girlfriend Jody
Speaker 1: because Andy met her, so he's he outs it on
Speaker 1: Serious XM all the time. This is her debut here,
Speaker 1: it's Jody with it.
Speaker 2: Did it take a lot of convincing to get her to,
Speaker 2: you know, sign the waiver? Now?
Speaker 1: Really? No?
Speaker 2: Okay, good, No.
Speaker 1: It was just like, I didn't say your name because
Speaker 1: I figured you didn't want to have it out there
Speaker 1: if you didn't want it, and she was like, nah,
Speaker 1: it's fine, it's just my name.
Speaker 2: So there, I think I said Kate's name right out
Speaker 2: of the shoot. You probably, and I'm not sure how
Speaker 2: that went over. I wasn't as courteous to ask her
Speaker 2: in advance. And yeah, we've come a long way since then.
Speaker 2: I've got two years on you in the marriage department.
Speaker 2: But true, Okay, So Kate and Jody now the perspective
Speaker 2: solid spouses.
Speaker 1: So tonight's show, it's about summer crushes in college football
Speaker 1: going into the twenty seventeen season, So all of these
Speaker 1: people that we have crushes on are competing for second place.
Speaker 2: That's right, absolutely, Okay, we did a show like this
Speaker 2: about a year ago. I went back and checked the tapes,
Speaker 2: and in that show, we had a bunch of other
Speaker 2: sound effects and it's just kind of confusing. So we
Speaker 2: tried to We tried to come a bit pretty straightforward.
Speaker 2: It also makes the editing process a little easier on
Speaker 2: you and I. Now we're gonna call this episode Summer eleven.
Speaker 1: It's a very timely, very very timely, because today, I
Speaker 1: believe is actually the first day of summer.
Speaker 2: The summer really the summer solstice excuse me, plstice, Yeah,
Speaker 2: is upon us. And what we're doing, as you mentioned,
Speaker 2: is we're going through players, duos, coaches, teams, you name it, whatever,
Speaker 2: things in college football, entities, people in college football that
Speaker 2: we've got a crush on. Now as we enter the
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen season, because as you mentioned, as we get
Speaker 2: now into July with conference weeks and whatnot, and then
Speaker 2: certainly as we get into August and we do our
Speaker 2: previews and September as the season starts. Things are going
Speaker 2: to start rolling along here pretty quickly, as memory serves.
Speaker 2: I think you and I only have about two or
Speaker 2: three more episodes that we have to figure out before
Speaker 2: the start of the college football season. The rest of
Speaker 2: them we've already sort of earmarked. We know what we're
Speaker 2: going to be talking about. This is true and this
Speaker 2: is now one of those episodes. Is we now start
Speaker 2: to try and build for the twenty seventeen season.
Speaker 1: I have my own sound effects, by the way you
Speaker 1: do for the summer Love and Yours. You're just really innocent,
Speaker 1: like hearkens back, you know, Grease and the fifties whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, you're a little more a little bit more
Speaker 2: aggressive with it, jain Ah, But I like itsh do
Speaker 2: you want to go first? Who's your first summer crush here?
Speaker 1: So my first summer crush and we did not coordinate.
Speaker 1: So maybe we'll have crossover, That's.
Speaker 2: What I was hoping that we might have. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: we're gonna have to fight Quentin Fly. I thought about
Speaker 2: putting him on my list, Quinn Flowers.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I went with a lot of guys that
Speaker 1: were not a lot, but some that were sort of
Speaker 1: below the radar because crushes is sort of from afar.
Speaker 1: We know, like Bo Scarborough, right, everybody's got a crush
Speaker 1: on both Scarborough everybody. You know, there's a number of
Speaker 1: players that I look at and I'm always about, you know,
Speaker 1: the quiet one in the corner, like, hey, what's her deal?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: So to me, Quinn Flowers definitely does not fit that,
Speaker 1: the quiet one in the corner, but still playing for USF,
Speaker 1: an American team and not on the same sort of
Speaker 1: radar that you know quarterbacks such as maybe Sam Darnold
Speaker 1: might be heading into the sit.
Speaker 2: I have a crucio and Sam Dart We're not going
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 1: That's not that's not who cares. Quinn Flowers, though, is
Speaker 1: a one man wrecking crew. And if you watched us
Speaker 1: F at all last year under Willie Taggart, and I
Speaker 1: imagine it's going to be the same under Charlie Strong
Speaker 1: this year. He is everybody knows what's coming with the
Speaker 1: USF offense, or it at least did last year that
Speaker 1: you know, they were going to be running sort of
Speaker 1: some Baylor stuff on the outside, smartpo stuff, and he
Speaker 1: was going to be just he was a one man
Speaker 1: first down and it is such a joy to watch
Speaker 1: somebody take over the game, especially when as a polished
Speaker 1: passer it's not there. But in terms of just eighting yards,
Speaker 1: nobody fills up quicker than Quintin Flowers. I love watching him.
Speaker 2: Quintin Flowers came into Bloom last year.
Speaker 1: Dan, mmmmm, how dare you.
Speaker 2: Came into Bloom? Was fun to watch. We talked about him,
Speaker 2: you know, at Nauzume to the extent that we could
Speaker 2: as someone who wasn't playing in a Power five conference,
Speaker 2: but certainly he was notable. Willie Taggart had a pretty
Speaker 2: good team, rushed for fifteen hundred yards and eighteen touchdowns
Speaker 2: yes last year from the quarterback position, and then as
Speaker 2: a passer threw for twenty four more touchdowns. So to
Speaker 2: call him a one man wrecking crew is definitely not
Speaker 2: a stretch. I'm very curious to say, see now where
Speaker 2: that system goes under Charlie Strong, And I think, as
Speaker 2: you correctly pointed out, I wouldn't expect that production to
Speaker 2: go down. I think he would only improve maybe a
Speaker 2: few tweaks here and there. But Quentin Flowers is going
Speaker 2: to be an exciting player and I'm glad you put
Speaker 2: him on your list, because I almost put him online
Speaker 2: and then decided at the very end to leave him off.
Speaker 1: And something important to realize is Sterling Gilbert is the
Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator at USF and the system that he
Speaker 1: ran last year at Texas is pretty similar thematically to
Speaker 1: what USF did last year, with some obvious tweaks, but
Speaker 1: you know the history of him at Tulsa and Baylor
Speaker 1: and Texas. It'll be a very familiar scene watching USF
Speaker 1: next year.
Speaker 2: I think Sterling Gilbert has had mobile quarterbacks before in
Speaker 2: the past. He found a good way to utilize them,
Speaker 2: and maybe we'll see some of those passing numbers go
Speaker 2: up for flowers as well. Yes, sir, all right, while
Speaker 2: we're talking quarterbacks. Oh God, talk about my boy Eric Dungee.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: I told you on g chat, which apparently g chat's
Speaker 2: going away soon. Rip oh man. I kind of have
Speaker 2: the nickname grungy Eric Dungee stuck in my head and
Speaker 2: I don't know why. Okay, I wonder if it's got
Speaker 2: something to do with our Drummond Fife, but I don't
Speaker 2: know if you've ever used the word grungy as it
Speaker 2: relates to the Drummond.
Speaker 1: Fife plays in the Northeast.
Speaker 2: Here's what I like about Eric Dungee. He's at Syracuse.
Speaker 2: By the way, he's their starting quarterback. Only played nine
Speaker 2: games last year, but in those nine games a sixty
Speaker 2: five percent completion percentage, about three hundred passing yards per game.
Speaker 2: He's fairly mobile. He's gonna be in year two under
Speaker 2: Dino Babers, which is a wide open, aired out system
Speaker 2: up there at Syracuse. He just seems grungey. He's got
Speaker 2: that fight in him, and I like that in my
Speaker 2: Syracuse quarterback.
Speaker 1: From across the contrary he was when he that was
Speaker 1: one of our over unders for the season last year
Speaker 1: as over under of total yards or something like four
Speaker 1: thousand and Underdno Baber's. But year two, I think you're
Speaker 1: absolutely right. I think he's going to put in an
Speaker 1: even bigger year if he can stay healthy and has
Speaker 1: a good I mean, the receivers last year were really good.
Speaker 1: I think in year two of the system, I think
Speaker 1: they're going to excel. I don't think a Bowl is
Speaker 1: out of the question with this team. It's not out
Speaker 1: of the question, but I'm not going to lie. They've
Speaker 1: got a run of games here from late September through
Speaker 1: early November where they go to LSU, they got Pit
Speaker 1: at home, Clemson at home at Miami, and at Florida State.
Speaker 2: That's a tough little stretch there. All of those games
Speaker 2: conceivably be losses. And that's not even counting the other
Speaker 2: tweener games on their ACC schedule, like at NC State.
Speaker 2: It's not even counting at Louisville, which happens later on
Speaker 2: in the year. So I think it's a bit of
Speaker 2: a stretch for them to get the six, but you know,
Speaker 2: ACC being what it is, you can't ever fully count
Speaker 2: it out.
Speaker 1: I think that's a good crush TI. I like Eric
Speaker 1: done a lot. We've talked about him as he made
Speaker 1: his way in sort of out of nowhere from Portland
Speaker 1: to Syracuse.
Speaker 2: Where are we going next?
Speaker 1: All right? You ready there it is?
Speaker 2: Yeah, feeling the vapors, Dan feeling the vapors.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go with both of the head coaches
Speaker 1: at the service academies with the biggest rivalry because they're
Speaker 1: obviously more than two service academies, so arm n New Modelolo,
Speaker 1: Army Navy. They're coaches specifically, Ken do you modololo at Navy?
Speaker 1: Jeff Monkin at Army, and we don't generally focus a
Speaker 1: ton on these schools during the season unless they're playing
Speaker 1: somebody that perhaps has a bigger place. I don't think
Speaker 1: bigger place is the appropriate term, but you know gets
Speaker 1: more attention in college football, but you know, playing in
Speaker 1: a Power five conference, And what ken You Modololo has
Speaker 1: done at Navy. And I know people are quick to
Speaker 1: sort of pigeonhole the sort of option, flex bone whatever
Speaker 1: systems into a very specific category. But Tom Herman this
Speaker 1: offseas and was the guy, and Keny You Modololo was
Speaker 1: the guy who beat up on the guy this past
Speaker 1: year at Navy. Ken You Modolo beats Notre Dame, not inconsistently.
Speaker 1: And Jeff Mounkin what he's done at Army in getting
Speaker 1: the cadets at Army over the top against Navy to
Speaker 1: end the season, overhauling that program you have if you
Speaker 1: haven't read Stephen Godfrey from Espionation, he embedded with Army
Speaker 1: leading up to that game, and he has changed recruiting,
Speaker 1: He has changed the way that program operates with the
Speaker 1: challenges that both of those schools have year in and
Speaker 1: year out. I won't pretend like I have any sort
Speaker 1: of first person knowledge of what they go through, but
Speaker 1: it's certainly a very different experience. I love that both
Speaker 1: of those schools like who wants to play? The week before,
Speaker 1: you know, Notre Dame plays Navy, no matter how much
Speaker 1: better and more talented Notre Dame is. And this is
Speaker 1: I guarantee you ty, I'm not specifically picking on Notre
Speaker 1: Dame in this instance beyond them being a much bigger
Speaker 1: football powerhouse. If Navy is playing whoever in a bowl game,
Speaker 1: if Navy's playing Houston this year, made Appleway last year,
Speaker 1: Tom Herman, every single one of those coaches in the
Speaker 1: week leading up is like, well shit, well damn it all,
Speaker 1: how do we h? I love that both of those
Speaker 1: coaches at this point, but specifically new Manololo has gotten
Speaker 1: abed to the point where they just stress people out
Speaker 1: no end. And I love that. I think it's worth recognizing.
Speaker 1: And look twenty fifteen, the best quarterback perhaps ever, most
Speaker 1: prolific quarterback and Keenan Reynolds for Navy. And what do
Speaker 1: they do in twenty sixteen? They beat Notre Dame in Houston.
Speaker 2: They beat Notre Dame. I mean, the thing about Navy
Speaker 2: what's been amazing. They're not like a pushover.
Speaker 1: Well people, that was the specific criticism, right, not specifically
Speaker 1: as a Notre Dame fan.
Speaker 2: Oh, they play the service academies. Well, you don't want
Speaker 2: to play that service academy because they've actually got a
Speaker 2: lot of recent success against Notre Dame. They had a
Speaker 2: pretty good football team. You mentioned what they did to Houston.
Speaker 2: This is a good program that he's built. They've been
Speaker 2: consistent year in and year out. And oh, by the way,
Speaker 2: Army made a bowl game for the first time in
Speaker 2: forever last year. Hm. They've turned that pro around as
Speaker 2: well and started building something there. So it's cool to
Speaker 2: see that happen.
Speaker 1: May I ask you a follow up question because I
Speaker 1: can relate. During the Oregon coaching search, I was looking
Speaker 1: at the coaches across college football who've had relatively consistent success,
Speaker 1: and I talked myself into if Orgon hires Ken new Modalolo,
Speaker 1: I'd be pretty pumped about it, just because of his
Speaker 1: personal reputation, the success he's had, and could he translate
Speaker 1: that on a bigger level. I was, I had talked
Speaker 1: myself into it. You did, I remember that Notre Dame
Speaker 1: is a very different place than Oregon, but academic restrictions
Speaker 1: not unlike what the Naval Academy in Aapolis is a
Speaker 1: ridiculously good place to you know, academically. Could you see
Speaker 1: yourself talking yourself into Ken new Modalolo. Nope, and what
Speaker 1: he's done really Nope.
Speaker 2: No, And if I would love that it's entirely personal
Speaker 2: with me, I would. I would, full on there was
Speaker 2: a leaf would turn over for me for Notre Dame
Speaker 2: if they had hired keny Manololo. No, wouldn't do it
Speaker 2: for me. I came to the offense, I get bored.
Speaker 2: I get bored out of my mind watching the offense.
Speaker 2: Now when they run it well, they're obviously very good,
Speaker 2: they're very effective. They've run it very well against Notre Dame.
Speaker 2: But I just I get bored out of my mind
Speaker 2: watching it. Really I do, Yeah, I do see.
Speaker 1: I like it. I mean, but consider running it with
Speaker 1: players Notre Dame, athletes like.
Speaker 2: Josh and Mike mcglinchy. Yeah, I mean, obviously it's a
Speaker 2: different system. My turn, Dan, we're talking quarterbacks. Last time,
Speaker 2: I got other quarterbacks here on my list that I
Speaker 2: won't go into. Right now, let's talk about my voice.
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley, who's better. I don't know if anybody is listen.
Speaker 2: I know I just made the goofy voice when I
Speaker 2: talked about Sam Darnold and Saquon. By no means is
Speaker 2: under the radar. But for me, Saquon's got a little
Speaker 2: bit of a local connection. Not only does he go
Speaker 2: to my alma mater, penn State, he's also from the
Speaker 2: town across the river from me, originally from Copley, Pennsylvania,
Speaker 2: went to Whitehall High School, one of our rivals back
Speaker 2: in the day. In high school, five and a half
Speaker 2: yards per carry. Last year over fourteen hundred yards, eighteen
Speaker 2: touchdowns on the ground. The line is improving, It's been
Speaker 2: improving the last couple of years. The offense clearly found
Speaker 2: an extra gear with whatever Joe Moore had figured out
Speaker 2: after their loss to Michigan. And I am just terrified
Speaker 2: that a freak injury could derail this whole thing, because
Speaker 2: he's a running back and that would be just the luck.
Speaker 2: But he's got moves that remind me of like a
Speaker 2: weird hybrid between Reggie Bush and Lashawn McCoy. He gets
Speaker 2: up the top speed quickly, he runs with power. I
Speaker 2: think he's a guaranteed top five, top ten pick provided
Speaker 2: he stays healthy, and he should be able to do
Speaker 2: incredible things now in year two under Morehead, hopefully with
Speaker 2: trace McSorley improving as well. I'm not the only one
Speaker 2: who has a crush on this guy. It's not a
Speaker 2: secret crush. You could argue the entire NFL and Big
Speaker 2: Ten have giant overt crushes on Saquon Barkley. But I
Speaker 2: think provided he stays healthy and the offense continues to improve,
Speaker 2: it's going to be a monster, mega Heisman worthy caliber
Speaker 2: season for him. And I'm just damn excited. I'm damn
Speaker 2: excited to see what he can do. Now.
Speaker 1: Who is the last Bens State running back that got
Speaker 1: you this excited? Evan royst No, I mean business decision,
Speaker 1: Silas threadit.
Speaker 2: You got to go back. A pretty good way is
Speaker 2: to like key John Carter, Curtis Enis to really find
Speaker 2: a running back that I think had this kind of
Speaker 2: hype headed into the season. Austin Scott was interesting, but
Speaker 2: he never materialized for Penn State. So yeah, it's been
Speaker 2: a while since you had a real body of work
Speaker 2: to go on entering a new football season. And he's
Speaker 2: the goods man. I mean, if you've watched him for
Speaker 2: any period of time or just a few downs at
Speaker 2: a time, you know that this kid's got the moves,
Speaker 2: he's got the speed, he's got the vision, and he's
Speaker 2: a unique talent. So there's a lot of reason for
Speaker 2: optimism there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, slowed down a little bit back half of the
Speaker 1: season last year, and he was obviously beat up a
Speaker 1: little bit, but if he's able to do it over
Speaker 1: the course of that full season, because we saw some
Speaker 1: of those runs against Tile State, against Iowa, he had
Speaker 1: an obviously an enormous day in usc sort of was
Speaker 1: the cherry on top of a terrific season. But yes,
Speaker 1: the ability is there. It'd be great to see it
Speaker 1: week in and week out a little bit more this year.
Speaker 1: That's nitpicking. He's so great.
Speaker 2: I think they'll figure out a way to be more
Speaker 2: consistent across the board on offense because they did kind
Speaker 2: of shift gears a bit about midway through, which obviously
Speaker 2: worked in their favor. Let me, I'll counterbalance the obvious
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley selection with another crush of mine.
Speaker 1: Go off the radar.
Speaker 2: I'm sure there are plenty of people who have heard
Speaker 2: of cam Akers at Florida State, but cam Akers is
Speaker 2: a true freshman was depending where you looked, either the
Speaker 2: top running back or number two running back behind Najie
Speaker 2: Harris who went to Alabama. But cam Akers is five eleven,
Speaker 2: two fifteen. He's built like an absolute truck. He accounted
Speaker 2: for get this, thirteen thousand, two hundred and forty three
Speaker 2: total yards and one hundred and forty nine touchdowns in
Speaker 2: high school as a dual threat quarterback. Cam Akers now
Speaker 2: goes to Florida State. He is the heir apparent to
Speaker 2: the running back position that is left vacant by Dalvin Cook,
Speaker 2: and by all accounts, he's going to be a guy
Speaker 2: who can step in and have a monster season right
Speaker 2: out of the shoot. People are very excited about cam Akers.
Speaker 2: And unless you follow recruiting very closely, unless you're a
Speaker 2: Florida State or ACC fan, or maybe a fan of
Speaker 2: football in the Southeast region, you might not know the
Speaker 2: name yet. My hunch is that you will soon because
Speaker 2: he's a good one.
Speaker 1: It's funny your terminology was what it was because when
Speaker 1: people ask me, because obviously your way in Pennsylvania, like
Speaker 1: what's what's tie like? I say, right off the top,
Speaker 1: built like an absolute truck. That's right, thank you, built
Speaker 1: like a semi He is a mac truck. Camp Makers
Speaker 1: is going to be fantastic. And there's been some turnover
Speaker 1: at Florida State, but I still think he is going
Speaker 1: to be and huge shoes to fill. I don't even
Speaker 1: think we fully appreciated what Dalvin Cook was and had
Speaker 1: the ability to do for Florida State and was himself
Speaker 1: a one man wrecking crew. But cam Makers should jump
Speaker 1: in and immediately become one of the best, you know,
Speaker 1: dozen or so running backs in the country. I would say,
Speaker 1: at least the physical talent is there to become.
Speaker 2: So if you go and watch any of his highlights
Speaker 2: from high school, it's clear that he's a man among boys.
Speaker 2: We've had this discussion before, Dan those players did not
Speaker 2: exist at my high school.
Speaker 1: Same now they do, but same.
Speaker 2: Feeling in for big shoes. Dalvin Cook, who got drafted
Speaker 2: to the NFL and was a Heisman contender for a while,
Speaker 2: brought a lot of excitement to Florida State. I think
Speaker 2: cam Akers has a chance to be better. I'm excited
Speaker 2: to see him out there.
Speaker 1: Fair points. I have a crush because we're going to
Speaker 1: stay with the sort of freshman sensation theme. I'm going
Speaker 1: to go with what may have been the best freshman
Speaker 1: in the country last year, but because of coaching changes.
Speaker 1: I hope he does not get lost in the mix.
Speaker 1: I imagine he is a preseason All American. So again
Speaker 1: I am now looking at the you know, the prettiest
Speaker 1: girl in the class.
Speaker 2: But we need the music. We need the music.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So, as a defensive lineman in two thousand and eight, TI,
Speaker 1: I'm seeing this. I was looking up freshman defensive linemans
Speaker 1: and what defensive line men and what they're able to do.
Speaker 1: Alden Smith for Missouri in two thousand and nine, excuse me,
Speaker 1: nineteen tackles for a loss. That's pretty ridiculous for a freshman.
Speaker 1: Roosevelt Knicks for Kent State twenty tackles for a loss
Speaker 1: in twenty ten as a freshman. So the twenty tackles
Speaker 1: for a loss. In terms of productivity for a freshman
Speaker 1: defensive lineman, nobody really in twenty eleven, twenty twelve, same,
Speaker 1: not a lot of freshmen just making that immediate impact.
Speaker 1: Devonte Fields for Florida or excuse me for TCU. Right
Speaker 1: around then, was had ahead a nice year at Oliver
Speaker 1: for Houston.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, good one twenty.
Speaker 1: Two and a half tackles for a loss for Houston.
Speaker 1: You saw what he was able to do, double team
Speaker 1: whatever against Louisville and that just complete destruction on the
Speaker 1: Thursday night game. What that Houston defense was able to
Speaker 1: do against Louisville Cardinals at Oliver is that damn good?
Speaker 1: The guy who led the country and tackles for a
Speaker 1: loss last year had twenty three and a half. At
Speaker 1: Oliver finished with twenty two and a half in thirteen games.
Speaker 1: Hassan Reddick taken in the first round. Same number. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just in terms of what the production level of what
Speaker 1: at Oliver did as a we freshman who is yet
Speaker 1: to even figure everything out as a dominant college defensive lineman.
Speaker 1: I really hope he doesn't get lost in the shuffle
Speaker 1: this year. Obviously, every offense that plays against the Cougars
Speaker 1: is going to pay extra attention to him. But my god,
Speaker 1: you want to mention Cam Akers as a man amongst
Speaker 1: boys going into the season as a true freshman. As
Speaker 1: a true sophomore, at Oliver is a titan amongst boys.
Speaker 2: You can ridiculous make a fairly solid case that At
Speaker 2: Oliver's the best college football player in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one of those situations where like after Josh
Speaker 1: Rosen's freshman year, they're like, well, in two years, will
Speaker 1: be the number one overall pick. And there's you know,
Speaker 1: you can make the case that Dexter Lawrence is that
Speaker 1: guy right now of like way down the line, he's
Speaker 1: going to be a number one overall pick. At Oliver's
Speaker 1: right there. Just in terms of how Versaly is on
Speaker 1: the line, I'm scared of him sitting on the fourteenth
Speaker 1: floor of a building two thousand miles away from him.
Speaker 1: He's so good. Shall we move on next?
Speaker 2: My next crush, admittedly, is on my Casper mattress.
Speaker 1: Dan A good one, that's I mean, you go, you
Speaker 1: could go in a real weird direction with this one.
Speaker 2: So they sent us mattresses. I don't know if you've
Speaker 2: publicly disclosed it on the show.
Speaker 1: They did.
Speaker 2: I had an issue with my mattress before. When the
Speaker 2: Solid Wife and I moved into our home. She had
Speaker 2: this old memory foam mattress that was very comfortable. It
Speaker 2: was more comfortable than my old mattress, But after sleeping
Speaker 2: on it for about a year and a half. Two years,
Speaker 2: I started getting lower back pain, shoulder pain. I just
Speaker 2: thought I was an old man well into my thirties.
Speaker 2: Now I'm thinking, all right, this is how it starts, right.
Speaker 2: But then I read the Internet and the Internet said
Speaker 2: that no, actually a mattress can cause you a fair
Speaker 2: amount of bodily harm.
Speaker 1: I was looking at the Internet.
Speaker 2: You wouldn't think that it could. You're just sleeping, But
Speaker 2: as it goes, yeah, a mattress can do a lot
Speaker 2: of harm your body. Then the casper showed up, and
Speaker 2: first off, it was like magic. When you pop this
Speaker 2: thing open, because it comes in like a vacuum sealed bag.
Speaker 2: It's a heavy box, but it comes in a box
Speaker 2: off a truck. You pull it into the home, you
Speaker 2: push it up, push it up the stairs. You pop
Speaker 2: the seal in like this vacuum sealed bag, and the
Speaker 2: thing inflates. I don't know how they do it, but
Speaker 2: somehow it utilates. You have a fully functioning, fully sized
Speaker 2: mattress within about fifteen seconds. And I laid on this
Speaker 2: thing and it was a much much different experience. It's
Speaker 2: been a much different experience ever since then. And no
Speaker 2: why I wouldn't lie to anyone out there because we're
Speaker 2: all friends. The shoulder pain that I got in my
Speaker 2: right shoulder has gone away, and the back pain that
Speaker 2: I was getting has gone away. So it would seem
Speaker 2: to me that the what four point eight rating, four
Speaker 2: point eight out of five rating that it gets across
Speaker 2: it's thirty thousand or so global reviews, that seems to
Speaker 2: be accurate, maybe even a little bit low. Some of
Speaker 2: the reviews that have been a little bit more eloquent
Speaker 2: than me have been that it's like quote sleeping on
Speaker 2: a brioch and quote like being cradled by the tinkling
Speaker 2: of a baby laughing in the moonlight, which I have
Speaker 2: no idea what that means. But Casper's got an award
Speaker 2: winning design. It's continuously developed using feedback from nearly half
Speaker 2: a million customers. They also only sell directly to consumers,
Speaker 2: which means that they can eliminate the commission driven inflated
Speaker 2: prices that you get with any kind of middleman, and
Speaker 2: buying is easy. You just go online. Oh yeah, they'll
Speaker 2: deliver it to your door in a compact box, whether
Speaker 2: you live in the US, UK or Canada, free delivery,
Speaker 2: free returns, and you get one hundred night risk free trial.
Speaker 2: So if you're maybe on the brink you think you
Speaker 2: want a new mattress, check it out. You and I
Speaker 2: have them, We love them. Other people have gotten them,
Speaker 2: They've emailed in, they've written in to let us know
Speaker 2: that they like their Casper as well. You can get
Speaker 2: a chance to just try it out before you fully commit.
Speaker 2: We do spend about a third of our lives on
Speaker 2: the mattress Dan, mm hmm, so it's important to have
Speaker 2: when that works for you. Right now, you can get
Speaker 2: fifty bucks towards any mattress you purchase by visiting Casper
Speaker 2: dot com and using the code verbal v r B
Speaker 2: A L v E r B A L is your
Speaker 2: offer code fifty bucks off any mattress purchase Dan. Terms
Speaker 2: and conditions do apply.
Speaker 1: Ty, I've always said sleep is the best drug there is.
Speaker 1: Go buy the best drugs.
Speaker 2: Come on, back to college football, let's do it. Let's
Speaker 2: talk about another crush of mine.
Speaker 1: What do you have.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Derwin James right.
Speaker 1: Really going for the big names.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not a crush until recently, got hurt in two
Speaker 2: games last year, but a beast against the Ryn great
Speaker 2: in the past coverage. Another guy probably a top five
Speaker 2: pick if you he doesn't get hurt again because he's versatile.
Speaker 2: Another Florida State guy. By the way, I love Florida
Speaker 2: State this year, and I hope I don't jinx them. Wow,
Speaker 2: I love their players. But he's versatile. You can't even
Speaker 2: scheme against him because he's just all over and everywhere
Speaker 2: at once. Really good player from the safety position. He's
Speaker 2: an obvious one. Another one that's not so obvious to me.
Speaker 2: Also at the safety position. Have we talked enough about
Speaker 2: Jordan Whitehead on this show.
Speaker 1: Probably not, because Pitt's past defense was it was not great.
Speaker 1: Last year, Jordan Whitehead plays for Pitt. There is some
Speaker 1: talk that they're going to move him from boundary safety
Speaker 1: to field safety, which if you're playing along at home,
Speaker 1: mean a whole lot. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I haven't followed up to see if that's a change
Speaker 2: that's going to stick or not.
Speaker 1: You might need to set a Google alert for boundaries
Speaker 1: high I might have to do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But if it's a thing. If it's not a thing,
Speaker 2: it doesn't mean a whole lot. Might mean a little
Speaker 2: less contact for him in the run game, might keep
Speaker 2: him a little safer out there, but he is a
Speaker 2: ferocious defender across the board, Dan, not just regular ferocious.
Speaker 2: I've been working up a little thing here. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: call him. I'm gonna call him for syllable ferocious this season, Dan,
Speaker 2: four syllable ferocious, Yeah, okay, Jordan Whitehead for syllable ferocious
Speaker 2: ed All Liiver, Yeah, that would qualify. There are a
Speaker 2: lot of four syllable ferocious guys out there.
Speaker 1: That's true. Are you gonna say four syllable ferocious every
Speaker 1: single time we talk about Pitt's defense. I don't think
Speaker 1: we're gonna talking about Pitt's defense that much this year.
Speaker 2: I might just have to get four drum beats, like, okay,
Speaker 2: something that signifies it without actually having to say it.
Speaker 2: It's not the easiest thing in the world to say,
Speaker 2: But if there's anybody in college football this year outside
Speaker 2: of at Oliver, who I think represents this four syllable
Speaker 2: ferocious attitude, it would be Jordan Whitehead. I'm okay about you?
Speaker 1: Are you were buying low? By the way, If I
Speaker 1: may jump in with your previous crush, I announced a
Speaker 1: crush for Drwin James last year. You did, yeah, and
Speaker 1: I just feel like pod brother to pod brother, I
Speaker 1: would have been not lay off. But if you had
Speaker 1: come to me and said, Dan, listenah, I just I
Speaker 1: can't get Darwin out of my mind. And is it
Speaker 1: cool if I pursue this college football crush. I don't
Speaker 1: want to step on any toes. I know that you
Speaker 1: were sort of on the Derwin James train before I.
Speaker 2: Knew you were into that, but you'd married, so I
Speaker 2: was assuring I had I had the green light. But
Speaker 2: if that's if that's frowned upon, then I don't want
Speaker 2: to create friction in this relationship.
Speaker 1: I just would have appreciated the courtesy, Tipe, I would
Speaker 1: have appreciated the courtesy.
Speaker 2: I apologize. I apologize, Dan.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go with a group of players, and
Speaker 1: I'm going to stick with the acc r ACC theme
Speaker 1: is very strong because it's one of the more interesting
Speaker 1: conferences this year. I'm going to go with the entire
Speaker 1: NC State Wolfpack defensive line.
Speaker 2: No count. You didn't play the music, thank you? Oh,
Speaker 2: come on, doesn't count. I would like a courtesy if
Speaker 2: you're not going to play the music, so that we
Speaker 2: can at least give a proper introduction to some of
Speaker 2: these crushes.
Speaker 1: Okay, they're getting good push up front.
Speaker 2: My god, don't disrespect the wolf pack.
Speaker 1: I know that that's on me. That's on me. Uh
Speaker 1: And honestly, the name of the best defensive line in
Speaker 1: Frensis State could not be better because it is Bradley Chubb.
Speaker 1: It is Bradley Chubb and.
Speaker 2: The billing for a summer loving titled show.
Speaker 1: When you looked it does when you look at what
Speaker 1: acc defenses were able to do on the ground last
Speaker 1: year up front against some very talented offenses. And these
Speaker 1: are very talented defenses we're talking about. After Louisville. It
Speaker 1: was not Florida State, it was not Clemson, it was
Speaker 1: not Virginia Tech, it was not Miami. It was NC State,
Speaker 1: who was but a field well away from beating Clemson.
Speaker 1: NC State pretty much all year long was and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with the big D and talking about Chubb ti, yeah,
Speaker 1: please dominant, dominant upfront and should be once again. Darien Roseboro,
Speaker 1: Contavia Street, Dave Huxtable. In a short time for NC
Speaker 1: State has built that defensive front into something that's probably
Speaker 1: one of the best five nationally. They're going to be
Speaker 1: so good this year and I can't wait to watch
Speaker 1: NC State, which I don't say that often. Tie, No,
Speaker 1: I do not say it all that often. But this
Speaker 1: group of players is special and I'm very excited.
Speaker 2: I feel like we've been waiting.
Speaker 1: I've got a chub.
Speaker 2: We've been waiting, thank you. We've been waiting to say
Speaker 2: that for a while about NC State. We've been waiting
Speaker 2: for it to kind of materialize. And uh, Dave Durren's
Speaker 2: a good coach. He's been a good coach for a while.
Speaker 2: It's just it hasn't been there yet.
Speaker 1: They're in that middle range. NC State in the ACC.
Speaker 1: It's tough. So I'm excited, as we should, we both
Speaker 1: should be. Yeah, I'm going to go with another crush.
Speaker 2: Or whad I did? Two? You did too?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. Do I have to play the music now?
Speaker 2: Well, it's inferred.
Speaker 1: We're gonna push way out west. We're gonna go to
Speaker 1: Colorado State, which was one of the more entertaining teams
Speaker 1: if remember last November the bowl season. Mike Bobo has
Speaker 1: done a very good job offensively with this team. They
Speaker 1: returned their quarterback Nick Stevens, who's great, but that is
Speaker 1: not my crush. My crush is Michael Gallup, who is
Speaker 1: maybe one of going into the season. I think he
Speaker 1: might be the most unherlded receiver in college football. Is
Speaker 1: probably a top seven to ten receiver when you look
Speaker 1: at what big receivers in the country outside of Za Jones,
Speaker 1: who was great for ECU last year in November to
Speaker 1: close out the season. And this was not against insignificant
Speaker 1: opponents for Colorado State. We're not talking about the bottom
Speaker 1: of the Mountain West San Diego State. Colorado State beat
Speaker 1: him in a shootout. We're talking huge games against the
Speaker 1: best teams. Michael Gallup was ridiculous. Had more yards than
Speaker 1: Dede Westbrook, had more yards than what's his name, Corey
Speaker 1: Davis at Western Michigan. Huge well, I think the second
Speaker 1: or third best November just in terms of period. It's
Speaker 1: just not an exact science, but he was so good
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup and should be appreciated this year. I think
Speaker 1: he was a JC transfer for Colorado State. But as
Speaker 1: we are becoming more aware of players at schools of
Speaker 1: all sizes, whether they're you know, Mountain West teams or
Speaker 1: their FCS teams, whatever the case may be, Talent is talents.
Speaker 1: Corey Davis was the first receiver off the board in
Speaker 1: the NFL draft. Michael Gallup is that talent so good.
Speaker 2: So hard to watch? Okay, great?
Speaker 1: So how about that? Ty?
Speaker 2: I like it very good. Let's do a couple more here.
Speaker 1: What do you got?
Speaker 2: I got two or three more on my list that
Speaker 2: I want to discuss here. Cameron Smith USC. Yeah, Cameron's
Speaker 2: injury plagued, but really good. Injury plagued, really good. It
Speaker 2: just seems like he was involved in every single play
Speaker 2: when he was on the field. Just a guy who's
Speaker 2: everywhere a linebacker for USC, younger linebacker. I never felt
Speaker 2: like he got his fair shake because there was so
Speaker 2: much else going on on that USC team just kind
Speaker 2: of faded into the background. But I'm excited to see
Speaker 2: what he brings to the table. Again. I'm excited about
Speaker 2: all these guys I've said about a hundred times now.
Speaker 2: I just hope he stays healthy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right about the attention thing, because Porter Gustin
Speaker 1: had a very nice year last year. Rashim Green, I
Speaker 1: would argue, broke through on the defensive line for USC,
Speaker 1: and certainly having somebody like a Dori Jackson back there,
Speaker 1: Biggie Marshall is the new number one corner for the
Speaker 1: Trojans this year. So hard to stand out on a
Speaker 1: team with so many standouts playing in that a very
Speaker 1: difficult clancy Pendergast defense to play against. But yes, Cam
Speaker 1: Smith in terms of the playmaking ability, we saw it
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when he had what two
Speaker 1: or three interceptions in a game, returning him to the
Speaker 1: house A huge talent. I think that's a good pick.
Speaker 2: The other one here that I'll list is what about
Speaker 2: Blake Barnett. O talk about going off the radar. That's difficult.
Speaker 2: It's a difficult one. Not a lot of footage, virtually
Speaker 2: no footage to go on. But Blake Barnett, highly touted quarterback,
Speaker 2: bounced around a little bit in his recruitment, eventually landed
Speaker 2: at Alabama I believe won the Elite eleven before going
Speaker 2: on to be the number one overall quarterback in his
Speaker 2: recruiting class. Landed at Alabama and just got logjammed behind
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurtz. Cooper Bateman was in the mix. They had
Speaker 2: an embarrassment of riches at the quarterback position in Tuscaloosa.
Speaker 2: Blake Barnett landed on his feet at. Asu bumped over
Speaker 2: to Arizona State, and he's going to get a chance
Speaker 2: now to show what he can do in a wide
Speaker 2: open system under Todd Graham. Lord knows that Asu has
Speaker 2: not had trouble in recent years putting up points and
Speaker 2: showcasing talent at the quarterback position, so you would assume
Speaker 2: that they're going to find a way to utilize his
Speaker 2: arm in the best way possible. He will have a
Speaker 2: chance to make an impact this season and show what
Speaker 2: he's really worth on the college stage. If he's anywhere
Speaker 2: as good as many believed coming out of high school,
Speaker 2: he should have an opportunity right now to put up
Speaker 2: big numbers. And quite honestly, given where AST was a
Speaker 2: year ago, I think any improvem would be a pretty
Speaker 2: big improvement. They've got to get better defensively, but Blake
Speaker 2: Barnett's gonna have a chance to go in there and
Speaker 2: make an impact. So I've had a crush on him
Speaker 2: since high school. And I feel very weird saying that, Wow, okay, dok,
Speaker 2: very weird saying that I've been holding out hope for
Speaker 2: a while and I think this is the year it
Speaker 2: finally materializes.
Speaker 1: This is like you having a crush on somebody that
Speaker 1: you met on like chat roulette. Yeah, you've never really
Speaker 1: hung out with them, you never met them in person,
Speaker 1: you've never really seen like the mid section. You've only
Speaker 1: seen like their shoulders and head, like, wow, she seems great.
Speaker 2: Yep. This is a literal high school sweetheart right here.
Speaker 1: You are, you are. It's a it's a hail Mary
Speaker 1: of sorts right now because we don't know anything about
Speaker 1: Blake Barnett and his ability and big games. Basically at
Speaker 1: the point.
Speaker 2: I'm intrigued by the recruiting scouting reports that I read
Speaker 2: when he was recruited and signed on and where he
Speaker 2: had a flirt with with what Oregon and maybe Notre.
Speaker 1: Dame and then committed to Notre Dame.
Speaker 2: Yeah, landed at Alabama. So uh yeah, let's see what
Speaker 2: he can do. I just want to see what he
Speaker 2: can do. Put him out there.
Speaker 1: This is you getting so excited for a setup for
Speaker 1: a blind date.
Speaker 2: This is this is me jinxing Blake Barnett. Is what
Speaker 2: this is.
Speaker 1: But that's what it sounds like to me. I was surprised.
Speaker 1: Want to hear you say that not much to go on.
Speaker 1: This is me jinxing him I'm gonna I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with my final crush. If that's okay with you, please okay.
Speaker 2: With that music?
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh man, I'm gonna go with the Kansas player tie.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Kansas player Durance Armstrong, Durance Armstrong.
Speaker 1: I really should have looked at how you pronounced his
Speaker 1: name either way in the highlight I've watched in the
Speaker 1: sort of very short bursts of Kansas football that I've
Speaker 1: watched over the past couple of years, he is a
Speaker 1: complete standout. He is somebody who has been so productive
Speaker 1: and has gotten If you read I think it was
Speaker 1: our friend Bruce Bruce Feldman Fox Sports one doing really
Speaker 1: cool work talking to David Beatty, who was the coach
Speaker 1: that recruited this past year's number one overall pick, Miles
Speaker 1: Garrett Tech's A and M and sees a lot of
Speaker 1: similarities and the production has been very similar. The build
Speaker 1: is very similar. And for Kansas to have a defensive
Speaker 1: end in twenty seventeen who pops in the way that
Speaker 1: Armstrong pops is a testament to both the recruiting and
Speaker 1: development and the fact that Kansas football is coming along.
Speaker 1: And I appreciate that tie, because I want a wide
Speaker 1: open Big twelve. That's what I want. I want excitement
Speaker 1: every week. I don't want the separation of just like
Speaker 1: Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. I want every week to be
Speaker 1: at least fun. And Dorance Armstrong is one of those
Speaker 1: guys who I hope, hope as Kansas this has almost
Speaker 1: beaten TCU recently. Is one of those guys to make
Speaker 1: the Big twelve a little bit more fun this year,
Speaker 1: and he has been so good for the Jayhawks. I'm
Speaker 1: excited to see what he could do because he could
Speaker 1: be We're talking about a first round talent in next
Speaker 1: year's draft. So from KENSA, the ability in production is there.
Speaker 1: Absolutely from Kansas, I'm excited. Awesome Kansas, Colorado State, NC
Speaker 1: State Service Academies. Tie. I look for the corner of
Speaker 1: that classroom.
Speaker 2: I got one. We've given no love to tight ends
Speaker 2: in college football. It's true's talking about my boy, Mike Gaseki.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 2: Two Penn Staters, two Penn Staters. I'm a little bit
Speaker 2: of a homer. But Mike Kasicki did not get much
Speaker 2: love at all until people started realizing that he was
Speaker 2: having a hell of a season. For Penn State in
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen. Quasi vertical threat at tight end average something
Speaker 2: like fourteen yards per catch. Big guy caught a lot
Speaker 2: of key passes for Penn State and clutch situations scored.
Speaker 2: I think in each of his last three games something
Speaker 2: like that was really big in the clutch for Trace McSorley.
Speaker 2: A big target is something that McSorley is going to
Speaker 2: need to start the season. Because Chris Godwin went to
Speaker 2: the NFL. He still has receivers left over, but it
Speaker 2: helps to have that safety net in a good tight
Speaker 2: end who can catch, who can run the seam, who
Speaker 2: just finds a way to get open. In Mike Kaseki,
Speaker 2: he's another guy who could get drafted provided things continue
Speaker 2: to improve for him. Now as we head into twenty seventeen,
Speaker 2: I think he's on tap for a big season as well.
Speaker 2: They just didn't realize what they had until later in
Speaker 2: the year last year, and Gasicki's a guy who I
Speaker 2: think stands to benefit a great deal from another year
Speaker 2: under Joe.
Speaker 1: Moorehead Hans Giseki, that's right, baby, another real weird term
Speaker 1: that you have decided to roll with, and I appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Got to start getting into mid season for him here Dan.
Speaker 1: I can't wait on that note.
Speaker 2: Yes, we'll be back next week talk more college football.
Speaker 2: As Dan mentioned, as we've mentioned here the last couple
Speaker 2: of weeks running. Now, you got a bunch of good
