00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 3: recap most of the college football that has happened so far.

18
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 3: Indiana's win in Pasadena, We of course, had Oregon taking

19
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 3: care of Texas Tech last night, Ohio State and Miami,

20
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 3: and right now in New Orleans, Georgia up twenty one

21
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 3: to twelve at halftime of the Sugar Bowl, Jason Martin,

22
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 3: how are you happy New Year? Should I do the

23
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 3: cliche of feel like I haven't talked to you since

24
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 3: last year?

25
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 4: Anyway? Yeah?

26
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 5: What's up?

27
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 6: How you know?

28
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 4: Apply? Apparently you just did so too late. I guess

29
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 4: we're not.

30
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 6: Taking that back. Yeah, No, all good, All good. It's

31
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 6: been a decent start to twenty twenty six. We ate

32
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 6: the black eyed peace tonight for dinner, which is not

33
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 6: a thing I knew until I was married, but apparently

34
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 6: it's a thing for good luck on New Year's to

35
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 6: eat black eyed peas. So it's the only time of

36
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 6: year we buy a can and then we eat them

37
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 6: as a family. My four year old daughter immediately refused

38
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 6: to eat what she called beans. We said, please eat

39
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 6: one so that we can have some good luck, and

40
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 6: she would she refused to do so. So there might

41
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 6: be good luck with the parents, but it might be

42
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 6: a rough year for the children.

43
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: Might be a rough year for the children, might be

44
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 3: a rough couple days for Alabama.

45
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 5: We'll get to them in a minute. I want to start, though,

46
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 5: So Sugar Bowl Yeah in New.

47
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 3: Orleans, Georgia up twenty one to twelve, we're first half,

48
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 3: so Old Miss goes up twelve to seven in this game,

49
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 3: Georgia a big score on a big run. There was

50
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: a gunner stockedon throw that he got popped whatever.

51
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 5: Right before half. Old Miss was driving.

52
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 3: Now, I was kind of coming into the studio, so

53
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 3: I wanted to let you set up with the audience.

54
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 5: For the audience that's driving around.

55
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 3: It's New Year's Day, they're in a car or wherever

56
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 3: there may be at work, tell us what happened right

57
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 3: before the half, because Old Miss it did look like

58
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 3: they were at minimum and field goal range and certainly

59
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 3: had a chance to put more points on the board again.

60
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 3: The final college football quarterfinal of the day, Old Miss

61
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 3: trailing twenty one to twelve at halftime against Georgia.

62
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 6: Yeah, so it really should be to one to fifteen

63
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 6: right now. They got something going again after you know,

64
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 6: they were struggle a little bit on their last couple

65
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 6: of possessions. Trinidad. Shambliss has been really good. He's been

66
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 6: a little behind hers of his receivers a few times,

67
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 6: but he's getting no help from those guys dudes that

68
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 6: are usually very sure handed or dropping stuff that's right

69
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 6: between their numbers, but they got this thing over midfield

70
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 6: and into field goal range for their Lou Groza semi finalist,

71
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 6: who might be able to kick from eighty five yards.

72
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, they were talking about that. He's a monster yet, Yeah.

73
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 6: He's absolutely insane. So they're in field goal range for him.

74
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 6: Now you already recognize if you're old miss that Georgia

75
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 6: gets the ball after the half. Your defense actually got

76
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 6: the ball back for you with about fifty two seconds left,

77
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 6: and you got it into field goal range. But you

78
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 6: know you had to use your timeouts and all that,

79
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 6: so you got no timeouts left. You throw to a

80
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 6: tight ends really good and jayalen Wright and he decides

81
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 6: instead of going out of bounds, he cuts back up

82
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 6: into the field with like fifteen seconds left, trying to

83
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 6: get a first down instead of doing the obvious thing,

84
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 6: which is.

85
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 4: Getting out of bounds.

86
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 6: They're already in field goal range, so he gets tackled

87
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 6: short of the first down by a yard. So the

88
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 6: clock is not gonna stop and it runs out. They

89
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 6: can't get a snap, they can't get their personnel onto

90
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 6: the field. They can't get this kicker onto the field.

91
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 6: That would have made it a twenty one to fifteen game,

92
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 6: a one possession game, obviously, and you're giving Georgia the

93
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,239
Speaker 6: ball after the half instead, you look like your coaching

94
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 6: staff goofed or your player just had one of those

95
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 6: moments where just the moment was too big for him

96
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 6: and he just made a boneheaded mistake, which can happen

97
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 6: these are still young players. But and the funny thing

98
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 6: is that it was Joe Judge who's running the offense.

99
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 6: He's the one that's supposed to make sure everybody knows

100
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 6: what they're supposed to do. He h kind of did

101
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 6: this when he was in the NFL as well. Wasn't

102
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,119
Speaker 6: really great at clock management and pressure situations and things

103
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 6: like that.

104
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 4: So that's going to add to the lore of Joe Judge.

105
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 6: But the biggest thing is just like, this is the

106
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 6: kind of thing that leads to the easy take of well,

107
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 6: that wouldn't happen if Lane was still there, and you know,

108
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 6: you asked Pete Gold about it, and he was just

109
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 6: kind of like, yeah, you know, I, you know, we

110
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 6: just we just we messed that one up. We were

111
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 6: trying to get out of bounds, but they weren't. Like

112
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 6: he literally cut back up into the field. He had

113
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 6: a clear path out of bounds and didn't take it.

114
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 6: So you're giving Georgia the ball back after just looking

115
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 6: like you had no idea what was going on, not

116
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 6: giving your field goal kicker a chance to make something

117
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 6: he likely would have made.

118
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 4: He already has a fifty six yarder in this game.

119
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 6: So like, let's say Georgia comes back out scores a touchdown,

120
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 6: all of a sudden, it's twenty eight to twelve, and

121
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 6: much of this is you shooting yourself in the foot.

122
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 4: So this is the last like four or five minutes

123
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 4: and a half, we're just abs absolutely brutal. If you're

124
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 4: an Old Miss.

125
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 3: Fan, yeah, it's interesting watching the game early it did

126
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 3: feel like, wow, you know, maybe Lane Kiffin, you know,

127
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 3: I don't say he was holding him back, but it's like,

128
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 3: don't seem to be missing a beat, And it did.

129
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 4: By the way.

130
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 5: Also, I would add this.

131
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 3: In the opening round game against Tulane, they won forty

132
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 3: one to ten. But if you actually watched the game,

133
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 3: and I'm not saying there was ever a moment where

134
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 3: you felt like Old Miss wasn't gonna win, but the

135
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 3: final score was forty one to ten.

136
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 5: As I said in that game. Tulane also had.

137
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 3: Well over four hundred yards of total offense, had a

138
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 3: couple opportunities early in the red zone that they just butchered.

139
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 3: I mean, it's not as though they just completely blew

140
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 3: them out, and it was never close, never competitive. So

141
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 3: I don't want to make any too many sweeping judgments,

142
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 3: and we certainly have to make some judgments on what

143
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 3: happened in the Rose Bowl just minutes ago or hours ago.

144
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 3: I should say, but you know, I will say, I

145
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 3: do think you're starting to see the cracks in the armor.

146
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 3: Four old miss uh just doesn't feel as crisp or

147
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 3: as clean. When Lane Kiffin was there Lane Kiffin, by

148
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 3: the way, at the Kentucky LSU women's game tonight, there

149
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 3: was a talk that he might show up at the

150
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 3: Sugar Bowl, which, of course New Orleans is only about

151
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 3: a half an hour or so from Baton Rouge.

152
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 5: He stayed away at least as of now.

153
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 3: Yas I say it's still time, I was gonna say,

154
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 3: there's there's still a second half for him to get in,

155
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 3: right as they potentially get blown out, we are kicking

156
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:22,559
Speaker 3: off the second half.

157
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, Ja Mark, I don't really have much to add

158
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 5: on this right now.

159
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 3: Don't want to make too many sweeping judgments with one

160
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 3: half a football.

161
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 6: There's still a lot of game left, and this one's

162
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 6: actually been pretty good.

163
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's good.

164
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 6: That good that we got, you know, I would say

165
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 6: last night's game was at least entertaining, like that was

166
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 6: interesting to watch as it was transpiring, and it was

167
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 6: a three point game with Ohio State with the football

168
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,559
Speaker 6: I think on on the Miami side of the field

169
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 6: with a chance to go take the lead. And then

170
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 6: you know, obviously Miami ended up winning a game. But

171
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 6: that one was that was a pretty good game. The

172
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 6: two this afternoon, h ooh, not so much. But this

173
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 6: one's this one looks like it's gonna be good, which

174
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 6: it really should be because it was good in the

175
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 6: regular season, was.

176
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,119
Speaker 3: Good in the regular season. Second half has just kicked

177
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 3: off in the Sugar Bowl, oh Miss trailing Georgia twenty

178
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: one to ten. As J Mart said, Georgia has the

179
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 3: ball to start the second half. Want to go back

180
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 3: to earlier in the day, As J Mart said, two

181
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 3: games are final in this college football playoff from Thursday,

182
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 3: the early one.

183
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 5: I think we're on for four hours.

184
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 3: J bart I think the actual analysis will probably be

185
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 3: less than ten minutes of these total four hours. Oregon

186
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 3: wins twenty three to ten. We'll get back to that

187
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 3: one in a minute. I do think that the best

188
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 3: place from here to start is with the Rose Bowl

189
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 3: because there is a lot to take away Indiana with

190
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 3: the thirty eight two three win, Kaylin de Bor and

191
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 3: Alabama suffer their worst postseason loss ever and really quickly,

192
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 3: j Mart, I have two pieces of sound that I

193
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 3: want to play, But I'm gonna ask you, do you

194
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 3: want to start with the Indiana is awesome part of this?

195
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 3: Or the Alabama What the heck was that? Because that

196
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 3: will dictate what piece of sound we start with.

197
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 4: Absolutely the Indiana being awesome part.

198
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 3: Well, then let's start with the Indiana being awesome part?

199
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 3: Because you and I are filling in tonight for Jason

200
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 3: Smith and Mike Harmon, but we normally work this same

201
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 3: time slot ten pm or eleven pm to two am

202
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 3: Eastern on Saturdays. This time of year, we're sort of

203
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 3: a de facto college football recap show. And I bring

204
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 3: it up because hate to toot our own horns. But

205
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 3: earlier this season, on our September twentieth episode, of Torres

206
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: and Martin. We opened Week four Indiana beat then ninth

207
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 3: ranked Illinois, and I asked this question to open our show.

208
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this, This might sound crazy. Is

209
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: Kurt Signetty the best coach of college football? I'm just

210
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 3: gonna I'll lay out some stats for you. He took

211
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 3: over the war first team in the Big Ten, fifteen

212
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 3: and two and seventeen games, fourteen double figure wins. The

213
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 3: only losses that he had at any point, The only

214
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 3: losses that he has had at any point as Indiana's

215
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 3: head coach were to the two teams that played for

216
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 3: a national championship last year, Indiana and Indiana and Ohio

217
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 3: State or Ohio State and Notre Dame. Excuse me, This

218
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: wasn't where I was anticipating leading the show. And we

219
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 3: don't have to stay on this for too long because

220
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 3: there's a lot to get to. I think you can

221
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 3: make the argument that was Ra Torres Jason Martin on

222
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 3: September twentieth, twenty twenty five, in our normal spot that

223
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: is a Saturday night, eleven pm Eastern. If you want

224
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 3: to hear us j mart you know, we kind of

225
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 3: went back and forth, and I don't think either of

226
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 3: us was one hundred percent committal on that.

227
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 5: Day, but we started to raise the conversation.

228
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 3: And I will tell you this, with due respect to

229
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 3: the dude that's coaching right now in New Orleans that

230
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 3: has two national championships, I think KURTZYETI is the best

231
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 3: coaching college football. And this Indiana story, I know it's

232
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 3: getting hyperbolic at this point with the way everyone in

233
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 3: our space keeps talking about it. But they beat Alabama

234
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 3: thirty eight to three in a game that they essentially

235
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 3: made Alabama quit about midway through the third quarter.

236
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you're right, it's getting hyperbolic.

237
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 6: But well, and you know what it's not, because I

238
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 6: think hyperbolic means it's getting exaggerated, and I don't think

239
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 6: it's being exaggerated. I think it's being talked about exactly

240
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 6: like it should be. This is one of the most

241
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 6: incredible things we've ever seen in this sport. I mean,

242
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 6: it's on the short list if he goes if they

243
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 6: go and win a championship. This year, you got a

244
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 6: Heisman Trophy winning quarterback that was a two.

245
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 5: Star committed to Yale.

246
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 4: I believe, yeah, exactly.

247
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 6: And by the way, you're looking at a zero star

248
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 6: on the field right now for Ole Miss, which is

249
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 6: another miraculous thing, and Dad Chambliss. But anyway, all of

250
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 6: what Kurt Signetti has done, he's twenty four and two

251
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 6: as a head coach of Indiana.

252
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 4: You already laid out the losses.

253
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 6: It only took I'm not even sure it took seven

254
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 6: syllables to actually lay that out. They didn't just beat Alabama.

255
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 6: Watching that game, it felt like twenty ten. Alabama was

256
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 6: wearing Indiana uniforms. The way they played, the smash mouth nature,

257
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 6: the lack of mistakes, the demoralization. You talk about Alabama quitting,

258
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 6: they just demoralized them. That game ended for all intents

259
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 6: and purposes. Look, and you could see that Alabama knew

260
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 6: they were in trouble when they tried that weird fourth

261
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 6: down thing, and like they showed Signetti on the sidelines

262
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 6: and it's going to be a meme if it's not already.

263
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 6: Signetti looked looked like, you're not serious, right, Like you

264
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 6: don't really think we're gonna fall for this, do you?

265
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 4: Like?

266
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 6: There are a lot of teams, Oh, man, I hope

267
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 6: they're not gonna Indiana didn't because they just don't. They

268
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 6: don't make mistakes, They don't do those kinds of things.

269
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 6: They get that they end up getting that fumble off

270
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 6: of the quarterback, off of ty Simpson on that hit

271
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 6: when he really he already had the first down. He

272
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 6: didn't go down, he took that big hit, lost the ball,

273
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 6: and what they do they went and scored. That's exactly

274
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 6: what Alabama used to do before the end of the half.

275
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 6: Exactly what they used to do in the last like

276
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 6: two minutes. They would get a big time turnover and

277
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 6: they would cash it in. And guess what Indiana did

278
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 6: right before the end of the first half. They scored

279
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 6: a touchdown. What was a ten oh game, and you

280
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 6: had Alabama actually starting to move the football a little

281
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 6: bit on that drive that just killed him. It was

282
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 6: seventeen to nothing and a half. They come back into

283
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 6: the second half and I think Signetti and that defense knew, look,

284
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 6: if we can get the football back into Mendoza's hands,

285
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 6: the thing's over.

286
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 4: And that's what they did.

287
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 6: Four minutes later, it was back in the hands of Indiana.

288
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 6: Before you know what, it's twenty four to nothing. And

289
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 6: then it gets even worse, like it was just the

290
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 6: Alabama side of it is not as baffling to me

291
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 6: because if you've watched this year, Indiana is just great,

292
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 6: Like they're they're really good, Like everywhere, they're better than

293
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 6: they were. I can't really name a position on the

294
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 6: field that I felt like Alabama had the advantage in.

295
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 6: So the only reason that you would pick Alabama, the

296
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 6: only reason you would do it is because there's still

297
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 6: a bias.

298
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 4: In your brain because it's Indiana.

299
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 5: Can I jump in real quick?

300
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

301
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 3: Signetty had a great quote at one of the press

302
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 3: conferences where they asked him about the mystique of Alabama

303
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 3: and he's like, these guys don't care about mystique.

304
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 5: They care about what they see on film.

305
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 3: Andation was, I'm very confident in what we're going to

306
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 3: be capable of doing when we step on the field

307
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 3: with these guys.

308
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 6: Yeah he said, Like he said, you guys in the

309
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 6: media know more about the mistique of Alabama than these players.

310
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 4: They know what's on film.

311
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 6: And like it's just like, dude, he's just got that thing,

312
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 6: like this is the dream for every school. This is

313
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 6: why there's hope out there. You just have to if

314
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 6: you find the guy, and you never would have known

315
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 6: Kurt Signetti was going to be the guy, but I'm

316
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 6: here to tell you, folks, Kurt Signetti is the guy.

317
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 6: I did the rankings with Brian know as we were

318
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 6: in for two pros and a cup of Joe on

319
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 6: New Year's Eve, and I asked the question. I was like,

320
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 6: eight to one, who do you trust the most in

321
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 6: the playoffs when you're looking at the coaches? And we

322
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 6: had Signetti two and Smart one because Smart has done

323
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 6: all this crafty stuff and he's aggressive and just certain things,

324
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 6: especially this year, and of course he has to pedigree

325
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 6: and it's hard not to trust him. And I still

326
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 6: feel that way, but I do think Signetti is the

327
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 6: best coach in the country now. And I think when

328
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 6: you asked that question, I said no, but I think

329
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 6: it's a fair question to ask, and I mentioned Kirby

330
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 6: Smart and then I think within two weeks I said,

331
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 6: let's really ask the question because I actually think it

332
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 6: might be Yes. Now I'm willing to say even though

333
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 6: my final game is Georgia beating Indiana, I don't feel

334
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 6: real good about that right now.

335
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 4: I really don't.

336
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 6: But either way, those are the two best coaches in

337
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 6: the sport, and I think there's a pretty massive drop off,

338
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 6: even though I think Dubor's are really good, and I

339
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 6: think Dan Lanning's good, Marcus Freeman's a really good coach.

340
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 6: There's some other names that you can put there, but

341
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 6: I think it's Signetti and Smart and that's Tier one

342
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 6: right now. But Signetti doing this at Indiana, it just

343
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 6: can't be It can't be exaggerated because it's Indiana. This

344
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 6: is not a thing that's ever supposed to happen, and

345
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 6: it's just it's absolutely incredible. It's mind boggling watching it,

346
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 6: Like Alabama did not look like they were playing the

347
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 6: same sport as Indiana around the third quarter of that game.

348
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 3: A couple thoughts here, by the way, speaking of not

349
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 3: good coaching, more confusion for ole Miss. They forced a

350
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 3: three and out to open the second half. Get to midfield,

351
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 3: fourth down, weird play, guys in motion, Georgia's stuffs that

352
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 3: they get the ball back at the fifty. Georgia is

353
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 3: still up twenty one to twelve early third quarter in

354
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 3: the final game of the college football quarterfinals.

355
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 5: Back to Signetti. So everything you said I agree with.

356
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 3: Obviously, the resume speaks for itself at this point and

357
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 3: I would saying about this during the game. And again,

358
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 3: whenever you say stuff like we're saying about Signetti, it

359
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 3: feels like you're taking shots at other guys and you were,

360
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 3: you didn't it at all, but like, I'm not about

361
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 3: to take a shot at Kirby Smart, Okay, but Kirby Smart.

362
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 3: I think we've all just been like, oh, Kirby Smart's

363
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 3: the next Nick Saban or whatever, and it's like Kirby

364
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 3: Smart's unbelievable, two national championships, use the blueprint, blah blahlah blah,

365
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 3: this and that. But watching that game today, it really

366
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 3: struck me it's actually Kurt Signetti that.

367
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 5: Is the Nick Saban.

368
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 4: Yes, no question about that.

369
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 5: Thank you.

370
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 3: And I think you know, as the kids say, real

371
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 3: ball knowers understand what I'm saying is like we're not

372
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 3: saying Kirby Smart isn't great or this coach it, but

373
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 3: everything you laid out getting up taking advantage of your opportunities,

374
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 3: I mean. And the thing that stands out to me

375
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 3: like Kirby as great as he is, like they will

376
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 3: have a dud every now and again, including the first

377
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 3: game against Alabama at home, where it's just like what

378
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,239
Speaker 3: just happened there, right, signetty to our point, to just

379
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 3: the math, to the facts. Only two losses at Ohio

380
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,719
Speaker 3: State at Notre Dame last season has already this season

381
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 3: been in Oregon at Oregon, Ohio State on a neutral

382
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 3: and Alabama on a neutral. And you just watch that team.

383
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 3: They just don't beat themselves. They're so fundamentally sound. They

384
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 3: take advantage of your mistakes. I just like I said,

385
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 3: he is to me, actually the closest thing to Sabin

386
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 3: that we have had. And I'll just put a bow

387
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 3: on the Indiana part of this conversation. We could come

388
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 3: back and talk about the Alabama side, but I'll put

389
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 3: a bow on it. By I think you said something

390
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 3: really interesting is that in this new world of college football,

391
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 3: not only is it about finding the right guy, but

392
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 3: it's like, dude, when you get them, you can keep them,

393
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 3: which is important. And I think it's really interesting is

394
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 3: like you look at all these coaching changes that have

395
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 3: happened this year. I don't blame anybody for sitting there

396
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 3: and saying, good, you know, whatever the standard is at

397
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 3: their school, it doesn't have to be this. And even

398
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 3: I'm just using a very random example. But like Kentucky

399
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 3: fired the most successful coach in their school's history, basically

400
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 3: over the last couple of weeks. Okay, and I want

401
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 3: to bring it up because Kentucky sitting there saying, well,

402
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 3: wait a second, nof Indiana can be really good. That's

403
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 3: there's no reason we can't be as well. Vanderbilt too,

404
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 3: Vanderbilt two, there's only one. Kurtz Signetti. I thought Indiana

405
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 3: was gonna win. I know on our Saturday show, I

406
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 3: thought it would be close by by the time we

407
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 3: got to kick off. I did think Indiana was gonna

408
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 3: win by double figures. I did not think they were

409
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 3: winning by five touchdowns. And we're gonna put Alabama in

410
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 3: the sleeper hole. So tell you what, j mart this

411
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,639

Speaker 3: We'll talk about the other side of things, because there

415
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 3: is a thorough of victory, but there's also the agony

416
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 3: of defeat. And I think there's gonna be a lot

417
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 3: of agony and Tuscaloosa for Kaitlin to board these next

418

451
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,840

455
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 3: be funny to come out of break though.

456
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 5: It's like, wow, that'd be aggressive saying know something different

457
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,400

00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 4: You know.

460
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,240

Speaker 3: he got, the fact that I remember from years.

462
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,439

00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:01,239

470
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 6: it's Paulin anymore or not. I had an allergy test.

471
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 6: They want me to have allergy shots and all sorts

472
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 6: of stuff. Now it's just it's just crazy over here.

473
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 6: There's nothing nothing I can do about it anymore. I

474
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 6: just know I'm gonna wake up with a running nose

475
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 6: pretty much every day.

476
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 5: Now, you know, it's weird.

477
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 3: I get I wake up with a sore throat every

478
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 3: day for like six months at a time. And I'm

479
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 3: not sick, people, I'm not sick. I think the error

480
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 3: just gets drew too dry at night.

481
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 5: Anyway.

482
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 3: TMI Sugar Bowl. Ole Miss has cut the lead to

483
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 3: twenty one to eighteen.

484
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 6: They've tried so hard to just get blown out of

485
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 6: this game, yes, but they do have a lot of talent,

486
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 6: so like they've actually been able to get around some

487
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 6: of these mistakes and still be in this game because

488
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 6: they're really good. And again, the greatest story, Look, Indiana

489
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 6: is gonna be the greatest story. But the other greatest

490
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 6: story would be ole Miss winning a championship with lang

491
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 6: Kiff and not there because he didn't think he could

492
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 6: win and he went to LSU and then they go

493
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 6: win a title like that. That would be the other one.

494
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 6: I'm not saying they're even gonna win this game. I'm

495
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 6: just saying I think a whole lot of people are

496
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 6: old Miss fans right now.

497
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 3: It would be and you know, I want to get

498
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 3: to Alabama. But for half a second on link iffn

499
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 3: Is and I said this on our Saturday show, like

500
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 3: I do, think for people who don't follow the college

501
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 3: football calendar, tomorrow the transfer portal opens, and that's really

502
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 3: where for basically everybody, including teams still playing, that's really

503
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 3: where you start to push towards next year. You kind

504
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 3: of know who's coming back. And then of course it's

505
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 3: essentially free agency for college football.

506
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 6: You're gonna see so many quarterbacks with news tomorrow. There's

507
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 6: gonna be all sorts of like twelve to one hits

508
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 6: or whatever.

509
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 4: You're just gonna see.

510
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 6: Quarterbacks with new destinations all over the place. It's gonna

511
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 6: be insane.

512
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 3: I wonder if it happens while we're on air, but

513
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 3: that's my I'm serious. We will be on till midnight Easter.

514
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 3: But I bring it up because and I said this

515
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 3: to you on Saturday is Lane Kiffin. It was a

516
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 3: terrible exit. We all know that, but I will say

517
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 3: he has said all of the right things about you know,

518
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:09,959
Speaker 3: I want that team to finish and I hope they

519
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 3: win a championship. Blah blahlah blah. Half of his staff

520
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 3: is still coaching Ole Miss. Yeah, but they're also like

521
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 3: weirdly recruiting for LSU. And so I only bring it

522
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 3: up because he would never say it publicly. I don't

523
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 3: think with Lane Kiffin you would never know. But I

524
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 3: think it's easy to root for the team round one whatever.

525
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 3: The portal's going to be open tomorrow, and like you

526
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 3: need boots on the ground in Baton Rouge. I there's

527
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 3: no way to know, and it's not really a topic,

528
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 3: and it's there's nowhere to really take this conversation. But

529
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 3: I would just say I think it's easy for Lane

530
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 3: Kiffin to be like, oh, yeah, I'm rooting for him. Yeah,

531
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 3: let's see what happens at twelve oh one tonight. If

532
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 3: Ole Miss is hosting a Sugar Bowl Trophy and your

533
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 3: coaches have another week of game prep when the portal's

534
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 3: opened something, Yeah.

535
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 6: Look, Dan Lanning's right, he said, you know, earlier this

536
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 6: week he said, look, we've got to stop this. We

537
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 6: need the season to be over. No games need to

538
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 6: be played after January the first, whether we have to

539
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 6: play week zero, we need to have four consecutive weeks

540
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 6: to the playoff of sixteen teams, no buys, and you know,

541
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 6: get this thing done so that guys that are moving

542
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 6: on can go ahead into their new jobs. Of course,

543
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 6: he's got that same thing with will Stein as offensive coordinator.

544
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 6: Who's going to Kentucky to be the head coach. Like

545
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 6: there's this kind of thing is happening everywhere, and what

546
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 6: you're saying about Lane Kiffin is right, Like he does

547
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 6: need it. It is his new job and he wants

548
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 6: some of those guys there and he needs them in

549
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 6: order to do what needs to be done right now.

550
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 6: Like the college football schedule is not conducive to anything.

551
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 6: It's not conducive to these decisions coaches have to make

552
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 6: as they're getting Pilford from this school to that school

553
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 6: and all this, but then the coordinators and the kids

554
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 6: are left in the lurch on everything, like it's a mess.

555
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 5: I don't know.

556
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 6: I think Lannings at least his heart is in the

557
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 6: right place. I don't know how the logistics work. He

558
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 6: said something like I think he said it or maybe

559
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 6: somebody else said use fifteen bull sites to do this

560
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 6: or whatever like that, or maybe you do it on

561
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 6: campus something. They're going to have to figure this thing

562
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 6: out because this is going to become.

563
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 4: More of a cluster, not less.

564
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, all I would say is, first of all,

565
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 3: I was against, like Clatt has been saying for years,

566
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 3: the season should end January first, and I kind of

567
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 3: logistically didn't know if it was possible.

568
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 5: I do think you could basically.

569
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 3: Just move up the season a week, eliminate conference championship games,

570
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 3: and you could get there pretty easily. I do think

571
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 3: there are like I think it would make a lot

572
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 3: of sense for a lot more people and the entire sport.

573
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 3: It can't be going into late January, you know, like

574
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 3: like you and I have talked about it on our

575
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 3: Saturday show. But it's like, listen, I love college football

576
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 3: as much as anybody. You get to the middle of January,

577
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 3: the end of January. I remember last year the championship game,

578
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 3: the College Football Championship Game was the day after Ravens Bills,

579
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, and it's like, I love college football,

580
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 3: but I just watched Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, and

581
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 3: that's all I want to talk about, and that's all

582
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 3: I care about.

583
00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 5: And what are the ramifications. It's like, Oh, Ohio State,

584
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 5: you don't ever play now.

585
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 6: I mean, the title game is being played on January

586
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 6: the nineteenth, Folks, that does not There's just no reason

587
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 6: for that. This is the same thing as like the

588
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 6: NBA season starting in October. Nobody cares yet, Like it's

589
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 6: just not a good time. Start on Christmas Day, make

590
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 6: it your day. Start, you know, start much later because

591
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 6: you only have so many attention spans out there and

592
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 6: they're all devoted to football at that point in time.

593
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 4: Well, by the time.

594
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 6: You get to the NFL playoffs, college needs to be

595
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 6: done because the attention is changed, it moves and when

596
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 6: if you've watched Lamar and Josh Allen, it's gonna be

597
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 6: hard to go watch JJ McCarthy at Michigan the next night.

598
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 4: It just is it's gonna.

599
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 6: Make it feel like it's less than let them have

600
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 6: the stage where the champion used to always be crowned.

601
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 6: It felt like on January first when I was a kid,

602
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 6: And it just seems like it's going later and later

603
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 6: and later, needlessly.

604
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 3: I'll give you a perfect example, then we'll get to

605
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 3: MASSI for the update. But you know, I am a

606
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 3: believer that just there are certain things at certain times

607
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 3: of year, and when you try to like put them

608
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 3: outside of that, people just are not going to care.

609
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 3: What I mean by that is like one, college football

610
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 3: just does not need to be played in late January.

611
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 3: But the example that I'll use, and I know you'll

612
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 3: love this one. How many years in a row have

613
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 3: we been trying to make spring professional football? I mean

614
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 3: besides we, no.

615
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 4: No, no, everyone else maybe well yeah, we.

616
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 3: And it's like every single year, all these leagues keep

617
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 3: convincing themselves like America wants more football, and it's like, no,

618
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 3: we watched like twenty four straight weeks of it and

619
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 3: it was incredible at the highest level. It's March. I

620
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 3: want to watch college basketball. I don't need to watch this,

621
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 3: and then I want to watch NBA playoffs. By the way,

622
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 3: speaking of playoffs, in the Sugar Bowl, fake punt by

623
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 3: Georgia is converted about four minutes left in the fourth

624
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 3: in the third quarter, exceed.

625
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 6: That's the kind of thing I'm talking about with Kirby Smart,

626
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 6: he does stuff like that.

627
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 5: Oh, Yeah, what was it? What game was it?

628
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 4: Where it was the Old Miss game? I think if

629
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 4: it wasn't the Ole Miss game?

630
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 3: Was it?

631
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 4: LSU?

632
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 6: There was a game this year where they pulled a

633
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 6: fake out and it completely changed the momentum of the game.

634
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 6: He got super aggressive.

635
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 5: It was a Texas game.

636
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 3: They went for an that's what I believe, three times

637
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 3: on one drive to seal the game.

638
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 5: I believe that's what it was.

639
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 6: He's just he's just he's aggressive in a way that

640
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 6: so many guys like Ohio State would.

641
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 4: Love for Ryan Day to be aggressive. Sorry, that was

642
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 4: low hanging fruit. But it was also accurate.

643
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 3: Well, let's see, speaking of accurate, Gunner stocked it incomplete

644
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 3: down the field. But you know who's always accurate, Manzi Beligia. Oh, yes,

645
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 3: semi accurate. Now I'm kidding.

646
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 8: Oh that's good, semibove above five hundred Yeah, above fifty percent?

647
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 8: How about that?

648
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 4: That?

649
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 5: What do we got, Monzie? Tell us what's new in

650
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 5: the world of sports?

651
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 8: All right, guys, Happy New Year. First of all, it's

652
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 8: twenty twenty six. I wonder how long I'm gonna write

653
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 8: twenty twenty five down though, they'll take a couple of days.

654
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Sugar Bowl.

655
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 8: It's uh in its second half, and the Rebels got

656
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 8: in the end zone after going for it on fourth

657
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 8: and three. They got a nice thirty six yard pass

658
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 8: from Trinidad Chambliss setting them setting them up for a

659
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 8: rushing touchdown. But as you mentioned, the Bulldogs are trying

660
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 8: to get some points. They are still in their own

661
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 8: side of the field, on their own side of the field.

662
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 8: But the Bulldogs are up right now twenty one to

663
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 8: nineteen with about three minutes to go, and they just

664
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,479
Speaker 8: crossed over, so they are definitely driving downfield making their

665
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 8: way towards the red zone. Chambliss is twenty three to

666
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 8: thirty four for two hundred and thirty five yards and

667
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 8: the touchdown Gunner stocked in for the Bulldogs is nine

668
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 8: to eighteen for one hundred and five yards, but he

669
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 8: has two rushing touchdowns.

670
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 5: Got rocked twice.

671
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was one of those hits. I can't believe

672
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 4: you got up for them.

673
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 8: If it would have been the NFL, that thing they

674
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 8: would have taken out, they would have taken them over.

675
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 5: He would have been with like, no way, no way.

676
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 3: J mart In our text thread said, the refs clearly

677
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 3: don't want to be the story in this playoff. But

678
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 3: if that wasn't targeting in the first half, I don't

679
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 3: know what is. And that by the way, it looks

680
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 3: like he's down.

681
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 8: He's he's been hit, he's been rocked. So but Bulldogs

682
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 8: are up. We'll see, We'll see what happens. Plenty of

683
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 8: game left. At the Rolls Bowl, it was the Indiana Show.

684
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 8: They crushed Alabama thirty eight to three, where Fernando Mendoza

685
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 8: had a hat trick. He threw for one hundred and

686
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 8: ninety two yards and three touchdowns. And unfortunately for Alabama,

687
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 8: their quarterback Tys Simpson, who also kind of got rocked

688
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 8: in that second quarter a little bit where he fumbled

689
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 8: the ball, exited early in the second half and they

690
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 8: had to put in their back of Austin Mack to

691
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 8: finish the game. And then at the Orange Bowl, Oregon

692
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 8: shout out Texas Tech twenty three zero, where the Ducks

693
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 8: had two interceptions, seven tackles for loss, and four.

694
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 5: Sacks shutting down the Red Raider offense.

695
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 8: So Oregon and Indiana are going to face each other

696
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 8: in the Peach Bowl on Friday, January ninth. A little

697
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 8: NFL news for you. Lamar Jackson is expected to start

698
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 8: for the Ravens for Sunday Night Football against the Steelers

699
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 8: Saints wide receiver Chris Alave sorry Bree. He is out

700
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 8: for the last game of the season due to a

701
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 8: blood clot found in one of his lungs, but he

702
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 8: has no history of that, so he's expected to recover

703
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 8: within the next month when it comes to the NBA.

704
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 8: Right now, the Mavericks are losing at home to the

705
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 8: seventy six Ers one fifteen to one oh eight, about

706
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 8: two minutes to go in the game. Cooper Flag twelve points,

707
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 8: seven rebounds, seven assists early in the second quarter in Sacramento,

708
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 8: where the Kings lead the Celtics forty to thirty five.

709
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 8: Clippers are coming up. Don't worry, guys, I know you're

710
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 8: excited about about that one. I am too. The heat

711
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 8: are beating, or that he beat the Pistons in Detroit

712
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 8: one eighteen to one twelve, where former Clipper Norman Powell

713
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 8: had thirty six points.

714
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,479
Speaker 5: Back to you, guys, Monzi, thank you very much.

715
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 4: Yes.

716
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 3: By the way, Monzy hosts the show before us on Saturday.

717
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 3: I hope you don't listen to us on the way

718
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 3: back home during April because me and j Mart have

719
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 3: gone on a very angry James Harden rant or two.

720
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 8: He listen me too, me too, and then at the

721
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 8: same time next week I'm saying.

722
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 4: He's the greatest Clipper ever.

723
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 8: He saved franchise, franchise, so let's be in eleven.

724
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 4: He does seem to care more than Kawhi Leonard.

725
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 8: He does seem and that's it's been crazy what he've done.

726
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 8: But he definitely I've definitely yelled at him, good and bad.

Speaker 3: back on Monday, Aeron Taurus Jason Martin filling in.

756
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 5: It was bad for Alabama and.

757
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 3: This will certainly be a theme of this show over

758
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 3: the next three hours. But really quickly, I thought Kirk

759
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 3: Herbstreet during the game summed up the Alabama performance better

760
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,439
Speaker 3: than anybody. Here's what Herbie said during the game.

761
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 2: It feels like Alabama. It's just strange to see they're

762
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 2: just existing. They're just out there.

763
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 6: Nobody's penetrating, nobody's playing.

764
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 4: With any fire.

765
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,959
Speaker 6: They're just it's almost like they feel defeated, like there's

766
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 6: nothing we can do. Nobody's making an impact player, not

767
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 6: even trying their hands on their hips.

768
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 2: They're just kind of out there.

769
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 5: I don't know how you can say it any better.

770
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 5: Jmart Floor is yours.

771
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 3: Alabama thirty eight to three loss, worst postseason loss ever

772
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 3: for the Crimson time.

773
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 6: It was thirty eight to three, and it wasn't that

774
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 6: Close's that's legitimately true. There were eleven guys wearing Alabama uniforms,

775
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 6: and the longer that game went, the less it looked

776
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 6: like any of them wanted to be part of that team.

777
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 6: Not that they were quitting on each other, they just

778
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 6: had enough, Like they tapped out.

779
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 4: It was just over.

780
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 6: And what he says, they were existing, they were, they

781
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 6: were on the field, they were going through the motions,

782
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 6: but it almost looked like spring practice or it was

783
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 6: just kind of like they had been demoralized. And this

784
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:44,959
Speaker 6: is what I was talking about when I was saying

785
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 6: that Indiana looked so much to be like a you know,

786
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 6: twenty ten to twenty fifteen, Nick Saban team where they

787
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 6: just demoralized the opponent, beat them in a way where

788
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 6: by the end it didn't even look like one team

789
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,240
Speaker 6: wanted to play the sport anymore. And that's what you got.

790
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 4: Like it.

791
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 6: It was the most bare minimum by the end of

792
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 6: that game. I don't think that they quit. I hate

793
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 6: saying that. It's more that they just they were out

794
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 6: ideas like eventually, you're a comedian, right, you're up there

795
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 6: telling jokes and you're just bombing out left and right.

796
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 6: The only thing that you've basically got left to do

797
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 6: other than walk off stage is start insulting people in

798
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 6: the front row and trying to win something back, or

799
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 6: at least win your own dignity back in your own mind.

800
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 6: Like there was just nothing left. I don't think they

801
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 6: had an answer in any way, shape or form for

802
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 6: what Indiana brought on offense or on defense. And again

803
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 6: once the fumble, when we came back and we said

804
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 6: that was play the day, and it was like the

805
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 6: game ended right there because Indiana got the ball, went

806
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 6: down and scored a touchdown of seventeen.

807
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 4: Nothing got the ball back after forcing.

808
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 6: Nothing for Alabama to open the second half put up

809
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 6: another touchdown and beat them down like this is bad.

810
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 6: I'm very curious what the Alabama fan base, what their

811
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 6: reaction to all of this is going to be, especially

812
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 6: the ones in Tuscaloosa, the die hards, because we know

813
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 6: Caitlyn de Bor is a really good head coach, a

814
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 6: really good football coach. But I gotta say this was

815
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 6: about as bad as I have seen Alabama look in

816
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 6: my lifetime when they're supposed to be at least decent.

817
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:31,720
Speaker 4: The game that they.

818
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 6: Lost to Florida State, we didn't watch that thing start

819
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 6: to finish because there were so many games going on

820
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 6: that day that we were trying to cover. But this

821
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 6: right here, Indiana was either that much They're either that

822
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 6: much of a juggernaut, that much of a wagon, or

823
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 6: Alabama is not good at all. And I just, you

824
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 6: just it's unthinkable that they would get beaten this badly.

825
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 3: Well, and I think it's more of the latter. By

826
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 3: the way, things are getting very interesting in New Orleans.

827
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 3: Fourth quarter has just begun Old Miss trailing twenty four

828
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 3: to nineteen, but they are driving Trinidad Shamblis's incredible conversion

829
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 3: on a first down deep in his own territory then

830
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 3: just threw an absolute dart to get old Miss deep

831
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 3: into Georgia territory. Thirteen minutes to go, Georgia up twenty

832
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 3: four to nineteen, Old Miss driving. They are now in

833
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 3: the red zone.

834
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 4: Lane Kiff.

835
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 6: It's gonna show up for a distraction finish. It's gonna

836
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 6: show up straight up, get their attention. There's gonna be

837
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,240
Speaker 6: a schoolboy roll up for the three count for Georgia.

838
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 3: It's gonna be like the like when a fighter, like

839
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 3: when the guy that wants to fight the next guy

840
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 3: shows up ringside, but he you know, he claims he's

841
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 3: just there for whatever and he ends up whatever. But yeah,

842
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 3: back to back to Alabama. I'll just be quick on

843
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 3: this is you know, you said, you know, you tend

844
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 3: to wonder is this who they are? I mean, I

845
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 3: think it is because two games ago they did the

846
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 3: same thing against Georgia. Total no show. It wasn't a

847
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 3: thirty one point, what was a thirty five point loss

848
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 3: like today, but twenty eight to seven in the SEC

849
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 3: championship game, barely two hundred yards of total offense, negative

850
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 3: three rushing yards. The stat that sticks with us from

851
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 3: that game. I just think that's who they are. And

852
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,919
Speaker 3: maybe we could even keep this conversation going into our two.

853
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 3: But I think it is a fascinating question going forward

854
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 3: because it is year two and there's plenty of talent

855
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 3: and this team wasn't even close, not just tonight but

856
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,760
Speaker 3: for most of the season against the best teams they played.

857
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 6: I mean, what was the big the biggest question that

858
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 6: I saw in a lot of the threads and the

859
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 6: forums and things like that around the time that the

860
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 6: quarterback change was made because the injury is where is

861
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 6: ty Simpson gonna play next year?

862
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 7: Mm?

863
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 6: Like he needs to get into the portal, he can't

864
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 6: possibly go into the draft, but he can't be at

865
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:55,399
Speaker 6: Alabama next year either.

866
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 4: Like that's how bad this was.

867
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 6: This is a dude that, like what we five week

868
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 6: six people are talking about in the top two or

869
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 6: three in the Heisman voting. You get to the end

870
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 6: of the season and people are saying he can't possibly

871
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,879
Speaker 6: be the quarterback at Alabama next year because of how

872
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 6: bad Indiana made him look.

873
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 3: We'll tell you what ole Miss is making Georgia look

874
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 3: not too good right now. A Keewan Lacy touchdown run

875
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 3: has given ole Miss a twenty five twenty four lead,

876
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 3: eleven twenty nine left in the fourth quarter, extra point pending.

877
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 3: I assumed they would go for two here to make

878
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 3: it a three point game. Going up two basically does

879
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 3: nothing for you.

880
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 5: We'll come back. We'll keep you updated on what's going

881
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 5: on in New Orleans.

882
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 3: We'll continue the Alabama conversation, talk Miami, Ohio State, so

883
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 3: much college football.

884
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio,
