1 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 1: It has come to my attention that maybe shame on 2 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: me that I've spent so much time shaming the NFL 3 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: not coming to college Football's eight, not clearing the deck 4 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: on Sunday night, moving the Super Bowl up six hours 5 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: so we can have our Sunday night show, that I 6 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: failed to realize it may be the NFL it ends 7 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: up saving college football. I never expected the combination of 8 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,160 Speaker 1: words to come out of my mouth where jam packed 9 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: high atop of spirited downtown Nashville, Tennessee, on this Thursday, 10 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: February fifth, the year of our Lord, twenty twenty six. 11 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: But yes, it has come to the attention of the 12 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: future Office of the Commissioner of College Football here that 13 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: if the three letters CFB can't save themselves, maybe NFL 14 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: can come in. Maybe we have sound to back it up. 15 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: I've got a little bit of reaction and a lot 16 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: of memories about National Signing Day, which is now in 17 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: our rearview mirror. And you know, in case you need 18 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: to rewind, yes, you heard me right, it did happen yesterday. 19 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: It's a shell of what it once was. We've got 20 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: an early signing day, now, we've got an il, we 21 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: got portal so yes, I know the day doesn't mean 22 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: what it once meant, but it still does mean a lot, 23 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: and it used to mean a whole lot. More So, 24 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: if you will humor me for a little while, I 25 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: dare take us down the nostalgic streets of yesteryear. In 26 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: college football coming up in a few minutes, the ACC 27 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: schedule has dropped. I want you to do me an 28 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: early favor. We've already been praying for Northwestern and the 29 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: Big Ten. Northwestern's been on all of our prayer lists 30 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: every night and every morning. I would respectfully request that 31 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: you add Stanford to the prayer list at least when 32 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: it comes to college football scheduling. I'll tell you why. 33 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: And someone hit us up for advice, and you know 34 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: this time of year, we are always prone to giving 35 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: out advice. I can't promise it's going to work or 36 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: that it's even right, but we will give out advice 37 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: here at Peyton State. They're watching us in Eugene, Oregon, 38 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: sALS Bury, not Bury Salsbury, Maryland hard E even though 39 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,119 Speaker 1: it's not in there. Middland, Texas is tuned in Rockingham, 40 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 1: North Carolina is tuned in one quick favor no matter 41 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,399 Speaker 1: where you're tuned in, take your finger scroll down to subscribe, 42 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: and if it already says subscribed, ignore what I'm about 43 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: to say. But if it's read, if it's still says subscribe, 44 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: that means you have not subscribed to the channel. And 45 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: all I need you to do is rectify that and 46 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: just boom subscribe and that's it and nothing else happens. 47 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: I promise you doesn't sign you up for anything. You 48 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: don't have to pay me anything. In fact, we'll probably 49 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: save you money on any of a variety of measures 50 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 1: we take on this show with our partners. Okay, let's 51 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: dive into the show. I have a very very interesting 52 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,839 Speaker 1: lead topic tonight. You may think to yourself, well, it's 53 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: super Bowl week, right, Yeah, but we're not a NFL show. 54 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: So well, signing day was yesterday. That's true. We're going 55 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: to talk about it. Schedules are out huh yeah, later 56 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 1: in show, but all that can wait. Bradley, here's a 57 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: really good endpoint for you. So you know how you 58 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: look around college football these days more and more and 59 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: you see headlines that if you had read to yourself 60 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: five years ago, you would have laughed. I e. Joey 61 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: agilar Is seeking via legal avenues, an ability some kind 62 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: of way to play what jesse an eighth season of 63 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: college football. Now, as we are learning more and more, 64 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: junior college doesn't count. It's not real college. So we 65 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: should just ignore those years and we should just only 66 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: acknowledge the years that you've played quote unquote real football. 67 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: Apparently the credits still count from junior college. It's just 68 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: to what you do on the field that shouldn't count. 69 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: A lot of this is tongue in cheek. A lot 70 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: of this is sarcastic. Of course, it's insane for anyone 71 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: to still be playing college football at twenty five years old. Now, 72 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: what I'm not doing is I'm not hating on Joey Aguilar. 73 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: I'm not even hating on Tennessee. Because you live in 74 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: a landscape right now where there are no rules, and 75 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: so we do sometimes wish, in an idealistic method, that 76 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: everyone would sort of adhere to the same unwritten laws 77 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: of governance so that we didn't have to deal with 78 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: this thing. But this is much more like Shaw Shank. 79 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: This is not a fairy tale world. This is the 80 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: real world. And in prison and college football, as Mema 81 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: used to say, you do whatever you have to do 82 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: to survive, and that's what Tennessee's trying to do right now. 83 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: That's what Joey Agilar is trying to do right now. 84 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: In case you've missed the headlines, Yep, yep, that kid 85 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: who transferred out of UCLA to Tennessee last spring sort 86 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: of saved Tennessee season after Nico threw up the deuces. 87 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: He is seeking an eighth year of eligibility. He'll be 88 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: twenty five if he's not already twenty five this year. 89 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: So yeah, that's where we are. Anyway, that would have 90 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: sounded insane five years ago, but that's where we are. 91 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,679 Speaker 1: You see a lot of that man the Trinidad Chambliss stuff, 92 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: and CAA said, no, that doesn't really mean much. They're 93 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: just going to go find a courtroom that leans their 94 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: way and they're going to try and get another year 95 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: of eligibility for Trinidad shamblerss at all miss again? Did 96 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: oh to what I just said about Tennessee. I'm not 97 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 1: even blaming anyone. It's an overarching problem. It's a much 98 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: much bigger picture issue than Tennessee should be ashamed of themselves. 99 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: There is no shame right now. So what you do 100 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: find yourself asking if you feel the way I feel 101 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: is where does this end? Or more specifically, who's going 102 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: to step in and do something about this? Is the 103 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: commissioner going to step in? Well, we don't have one yet. 104 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: Is a university president going to step in? Apparently not? 105 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: Is the Football Oversight Committee going to step in? No? 106 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: Half the folks on that thing shouldn't be on it. 107 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: More on that probably later this spring. Who's the face 108 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: of college football? Who's the face of leadership in college football? 109 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: Are commissioners going to step in? Well? If a commissioner 110 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: steps in right now, how do they know that all 111 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: the other commissioners are going to go along with it? 112 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: Or how do they know that the commissioner from another 113 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: conference isn't going to look and say suckers and then 114 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: just fully take advantage of the rules they voluntarily chose 115 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: to follow it. You get my drift. So who can help? Well, 116 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: I've been thinking about it, and I've been thinking about 117 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: it more and then some more, and some more and 118 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: some more. You know, I have brought up a point 119 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: on the show many times about the NFL. I brought 120 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: up the point when it comes to things like scheduling 121 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: when it comes to the college football playoff calendar. A 122 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: lot of the issue with the playoff calendar, you know, 123 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: a lot of the issue with us not being able 124 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: to get what we want, which is a championship game 125 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: wrapping up on or around New Year's Day, being able 126 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: to play the playoffs pretty consistently on Saturdays, first off. 127 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: Secondly throughout December, is that the NFL is in the 128 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: way and we can't. Well, I say we the rights 129 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: holders who hold the rights to the playoffs right now, 130 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: ESPN does not want to go head to head with 131 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: the NFL. It's not even unsound business logic. So again 132 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: I'm not hating on it. I hate that it exists. 133 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: I hate that the problem does exist. And so I've 134 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: said for a long time, man, the NFL massively benefits 135 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: from college football. Massively benefits because the developmental piece is 136 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: such that they don't have to have a minor league. 137 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: College football does it for them. The players arrived to 138 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: the NFL by laws, they're ready to play. I'm not 139 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: saying they're fully developed, but there are four fifths of 140 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: the way there to ninety percent of the way there. 141 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: And also from a marketability and recognizability standpoint, your names 142 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: are established because those players did that in the three 143 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: or four years they were in Columbus, Ohio, or Tuscaloos, Alabama, 144 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: or Los Angeles, California, Eugene, Oregon. So you don't have 145 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: to do any of the marketing legwork, you don't have 146 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: to do any of the developmental leg work. College football 147 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: does it for you. I have long maintained that because 148 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: the NFL doesn't have to invest a dime in those 149 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: two avenues, at the very least, could they not, in 150 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: some kind of reciprocal duty, self realized reciprocal duty, do 151 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: college football as solid and work with them on the 152 00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: calendar front. I've long said that. Now again, to go 153 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: back to the idealistic world, the NFL does that just 154 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: because they feel it's their duty to do it. Their 155 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: heart leaps out of their chest and they call up 156 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: college football and they say, guys, we're here to help. 157 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: We're not the federal government here to help. We're the 158 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: NFL and we're here to help. That would be a 159 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: perfect world. Thus far, that hasn't happened. But you know 160 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: what I always thought, and stupid me to think this, 161 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: I always thought that it had already been tried. I 162 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: always thought the college football had tried and the NFL 163 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: was saying no. It turns out maybe I should not 164 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: have assumed. So take the calendar problem, put it to 165 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: the side. That has nothing to do with Joey agilaar right, 166 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: That has nothing to do with eligibility. That has nothing 167 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: to do with kids playing college football till they're thirty 168 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: years old. So how do they connect. Well, here's where 169 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: they connect. So if the NFL's not going to involve 170 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: themselves in college football for altruistic reasons, maybe one day 171 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: they'll get involved for different reasons. So I want to 172 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: take you back to Monday. Roger Goodell at the beginning 173 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: of Super Bowl Week. Every week he has sort of 174 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: a state of the Union type press conference, and there 175 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: are a bunch of questions. Some of them are off 176 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 1: the wall, some of them are very topical and timely. 177 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 1: But very rarely is Roger Goodell asked about college football. 178 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: But last Monday, the fine folks at front Off of 179 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: Sports asked Roger Goodell about college football. And I'm going 180 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: to give you the answer in just a second. But 181 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: to tee up what you're hearing from Roger Goodell, the 182 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 1: question is basically, Hey, college football is a mess right now. 183 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: The eligibility model is in shambles. No one knows when 184 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: you're out of eligibility. There is a lot of churn 185 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: in college football. It's just a mess right now. Could 186 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 1: that ever hurt in the NFL? And would you guys 187 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: be willing to help? Pretty basic right here is what 188 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: Roger Goodell had to say. 189 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 2: We have a great relationship with college football. We cooperate 190 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 2: on a number of matters, including something I think is 191 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 2: really important, which is our eligibility rules. I think our 192 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 2: eligibily rules benefit the young men that come into the 193 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 2: league because they stay in college football longer. But I 194 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 2: also think there's obviously a lot of change going on 195 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 2: and a lot of disruption, and they do need to 196 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 2: bring some clarity to that. And I think that's something 197 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 2: that if for some reason we can be helpful with 198 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 2: the right people, we would obviously be willing to engage 199 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 2: with anybody. But I think we try to stay in 200 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 2: our lane unless we're invited in to try to be 201 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 2: part of the solution. 202 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: If I could translate for Roger Goodell, yeah, will help. 203 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 1: They got to ask for it, so again, it kind 204 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: of makes you feel ignorant here because you just assume 205 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,719 Speaker 1: college football is asked for the help. But you know what, 206 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: a collective organization that has failed to so much as 207 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: take a leak without getting in front of its pants wet, 208 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: you should not shock me when they have not reached 209 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: out via the proper channels for help on things like eligibility. 210 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: Now you may say to yourself, Josh, well, what specifically 211 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: would the NFL do, Hey, what would it hurt to 212 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: ask the NFL to do? That's the question. The NFL 213 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: has long understood this landscape. Now, I don't necessarily mean 214 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: the landscape of apples to apples. College football they have 215 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: a draft. You don't have one of those. In college football. 216 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: They have a collective bargaining agreement. To this point, you 217 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: don't have one of those in college football. I'm not 218 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: suggesting these two sports are apples to apples, but I 219 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 1: will tell you this for the first time, college football 220 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: has a problem that really could have a tangible negative 221 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: effect on the NFL. And it's not the calendar. As 222 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: much as I wish the NFL would volunteer to help 223 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: out college football with the calendar and the playoff broadcast windows, 224 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: it's not that it's eligibility, because we're not very far 225 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: right now from a world where a guy declares for 226 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: the draft, takes part in the drafts, hopes to be drafted, 227 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: maybe late, but hopes to be drafted, goes undrafted, and 228 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: instead of signing a free agent deal with the Buffalo 229 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: Bills or Green Bay Packers or Jaguars and those are 230 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 1: all on the table, he just says, I'm going to 231 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: accept a low seven figure offer to go back and 232 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: play another year for South Carolina. And you pause for 233 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 1: a second when you think about that, because it's insane. 234 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: It's absurd. Also, your mind keeps telling you, well, you 235 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: can't do that. You can't declare for the draft and 236 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: hire an agent and then go through the process and 237 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: come back to college. Hey, no, you haven't been able 238 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 1: to do that. Who's tried? Who tried to do it? 239 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: How do you know it would fail? How do you 240 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: know you couldn't find a friendly judge there in South 241 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: Carolina or somewhere in Texas or somewhere in Illinois that 242 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: would grant you the ability, or they at very least 243 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 1: they just grant the temporary injunction, temporary restraining order. The 244 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: old tro those aren't just letters in the back of 245 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: a toyota anymore. No, the tro just stays and plays 246 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: long enough for you to play, and then by the 247 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: time it finally makes it into a courtroom, you just 248 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: drop it because you already played your year. Anyway, We're 249 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,839 Speaker 1: not far away from that. The way I know that 250 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: is it's happening in college basketball, and a roundabout way 251 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: as we speak. You think that couldn't happen in college football, 252 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: you're crazy. And the last thing the NFL wants is 253 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: their talent pool tampered with. We got tampering all over 254 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 1: the place in college football, but it hasn't touched the 255 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: NFL yet. The NFL has not seen their free agent 256 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: pool dry up because the guys tested the draft waters 257 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: didn't like what they got, and they go back to college. Hey, 258 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: what if a guy goes out for the draft and 259 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 1: what if he was drafted, Jesse, have we ever walked 260 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: this through? What if he was drafted mid sixth round 261 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: and he knows the offer on the table to play 262 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,839 Speaker 1: another year at Miami would be much greater than the 263 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: guaranteed money that he stood to get in the NFL. Like, 264 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: have you ever thought these scenarios through you just think 265 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: you know how it would play out, but especially the 266 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,079 Speaker 1: undrafted free agent pool could very much be tampered with. 267 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: I want you to think about a guy three years in, 268 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 1: he's played a couple of years, he's played ten or 269 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: eleven games on NFL rosters, and he's kind of a 270 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: fringe guy, and a lot of the time when someone 271 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: goes on the ir he's the kind of guy that 272 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: you're picking up off the free agent wire. What if 273 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: that guy, just three years into his pro career decides, Man, 274 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go play college football this year. What's stopping it? 275 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: The rules, well, you don't have them right now, what's 276 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: stopping it? So I almost wonder if this isn't the avenue, 277 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: if this isn't the on ramp for the NFL to 278 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: get involved in college football. The NFL can help in 279 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: matters of eligibility. The NFL can absolutely help, while they're 280 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: at it, in teaching college football how to pool their 281 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: media rights. Because you know, there is a school of 282 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: thought that I happen to subscribe to that the media 283 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: rights of college football, if collectively pooled, are worth three 284 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: or four times as much what they're worth individually. Right now, 285 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: it's just college football, and figured out that for all 286 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: the money hungry approaches in this sport, that'd be the 287 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: one that quenched the thirst the most. College football hasn't 288 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: figured that out. The NFL figured it out a long 289 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: time ago. And if you pulled those media rights and 290 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: everyone else got richer, might I suggest that your new 291 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: media rights deal in the spirit and in the process 292 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: of massively propping up lesser conferences that are going bankrupt 293 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: right now, could garner you a lot more favorable view 294 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: from Congress. The NFL, again, has figured this out and 295 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: mastered this approach long ago. College football just just trying 296 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: to keep up, trying to keep up. So I never 297 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: thought we would lead a show with sound from Roger Goodell, 298 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: but here we are. I do know every show we're 299 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: going to Quick Trip. I know every road trip were 300 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: going to Quick Trip. I know these things because there's 301 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: certainty there. You know, quick Trip knows what they specialize in. 302 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: It could be guessed. It could be cobrew, it could 303 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: be try, it could be pizza. It could just be 304 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: a friendly smile as you come in out of the 305 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: rain at the front counter. They do these things, and 306 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: they do it every day. All over the country. I 307 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: know this because I have never not received that when 308 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: I go to Quick Trip. Quick Trip fueled the Falln'te 309 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: Live tour. Quick Trip has fueled every tour that we've 310 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: done for the past three years. Also, they fuel the show. 311 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: They are the presenting partner of this show. So when 312 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: all else is equal, and it never is, and you're 313 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: out there on the road looking for a place to stop, 314 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: that red Square QT should be where your search begins 315 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: and ends. And if you ever need any kind of 316 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: convincing again, I just want you to think through what 317 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: it's like to walk into a place and see Colbrew 318 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: on tap? Do we play favorites? Is that my favorite aspect? Yes, 319 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: it is. I just think that sometimes people still believe 320 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: I'm kind of saying that, but when you walk in there, 321 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: it's just cans of Colbrew. It's it's not it's really 322 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: on tap. And there are rumors that we be able 323 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: we may be able to like visibly prove that in 324 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: the studio one day, Jesse. It's just rumor at this point, 325 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: I mean, we haven't confirmed anything, but some rumors have legs. 326 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: Some rumors have legs. Let us continue. Oh what a 327 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: day yesterday was, But really what a day? Yesterday was 328 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: like fifteen years ago. So National Signing Day was yesterday. Now, 329 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: I know that a lot of you weren't glued to 330 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: your screen for National Signing Day. I will say like 331 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: I got a few takeaways about the overall signing class 332 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: that some of these teams had. But I'm gonna wrap 333 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: this segment up by sort of staring off into the 334 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: distance and thinking back ten or fifteen years and especially 335 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: from my high school and college age folks. I got 336 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,959 Speaker 1: to educate you guys on how magical National Signing Day was. 337 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: And for anyone who's like what thirty five or forty 338 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,479 Speaker 1: years old and older, it's just a chance to relive 339 00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 1: the good old days. It's going to be like a 340 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: Judd's song for a few minutes in here. So the 341 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: first thing that stands out to me when you look 342 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: at the signing class the spread of the five star talent. 343 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: For everyone who wants to talk about competitive balance and 344 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: the talent spreads out more, well, this is your graphic 345 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: right here. You look at the Rivals Industry Final twenty 346 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: twenty six to five star list. There there are thirty 347 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: two kids rated five stars. Seventeen different teams landed at 348 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: least one five star rated player. Miami, Houston, Vandy landed 349 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: the numbers one, numbers two, and numbers three players in 350 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: the country Number one, number two, number three players. Maryland 351 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: landed number six. So like the top six players in 352 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: the country, Miami, Houston, Vandy, and Maryland landed four of 353 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: those top six Oregon had four or five stars. Notre Dame, 354 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 1: Texas and Bama had three five stars. And outside of that, 355 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: there was no lumping together, like it was pretty well 356 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: spread out, and it really becomes a retention game at 357 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: that point. Like Zion Lead is the number six player 358 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: in the country, he committed to Maryland, he signed with Maryland, Okay, 359 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: is he there two years from now? That kind of 360 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,919 Speaker 1: just becomes the evergreen question about any signing class because 361 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: no sooner do we do any kind of recruiting segment 362 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: these days than people say, oh, it won't stick. Case 363 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: by case, you may be right. Collectively, maybe you're not, 364 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: but case by case you may be right. The class rankings, 365 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: you know, finished number one in the country this cycle, 366 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: well you probably do if you're watching this USC finished 367 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: number one. Oregon's number three, and I just USC and 368 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: Oregon be in one to two in the Big Ten, 369 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 1: and then Ohio State closely behind them. Ohio State was 370 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: ranked four overall. It's huge for the Big Ten because 371 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I know I can count on Ohio State. 372 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,719 Speaker 1: I know I can count on Michigan. Penn State in general. 373 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: This year they were down. They had a coaching change, 374 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: but generally Penn State's good for a top twenty class. 375 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: There's a lot of steady as you go to elite 376 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: recruiting approaches there. I really needed USC to step up 377 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: to the plate. I can count on Oregon too. I 378 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: pretty well rest easy knowing that, but I needed USC 379 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 1: to step up, and they did, and they landed the 380 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: number one class in the country. And this is how 381 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: I pictured it going when Lincoln Riley had his little 382 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: Reset summit a couple of years ago where he talked 383 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: about how we're just reassessing everything we do. We're changed 384 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: in the way that we go about business. And they 385 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: got better defensively. But also what they had to do 386 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 1: is they had to stop leaning on the portal. They 387 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: had to start recruiting and developing out of high school. 388 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: That had to be the foundation of their program. It 389 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: was always going to take a couple of classes. But 390 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 1: this is what I envision. So it's not a guarantee 391 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: that they'll ever win anything there, but it is required 392 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,360 Speaker 1: for them to win something there. As for Oregon, they 393 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: only signed sixteen kids, so USC signed thirty five of them. 394 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: Oregon signed far less, but they had the highest average 395 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: player grade. So Oregon massive believers in quality over quantity. 396 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: But then again, they're in a different vote than USC, 397 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 1: so Oregon did not need to do what USC did. 398 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: But that average player grade there again, you just keep 399 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 1: on looking at the average player grade coming into Oregon. 400 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: The caliber of player continues to tick up and up 401 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 1: and up year over year. It seems there Notre Dame 402 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: is the number two class in the country. I think 403 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: they continue to prove a lot of people wrong. By 404 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: a lot of people, I don't mean a lot of 405 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: people doubted that Notre Dame could recruit. By a lot 406 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 1: of people, I also don't mean a lot of people 407 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: thought Notre Dame couldn't be competitive. But I think as 408 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 1: recently as a few years ago, there was a solid 409 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: chunk of the college football public that thought the days 410 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: of Notre Dame recruiting and an elite level are over, 411 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: and the days of Notre Dame playing at an elite level, 412 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: competing for national championships are over. There was just a 413 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: school of thought that the game had passed them by 414 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: what worked for them a generation to go and beyond. 415 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: It just doesn't work anymore. Things have evolved, the landscape 416 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: has changed, and I there were portions of that that 417 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 1: even I bought into. In fairness, Brian Kelly did a 418 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: good job of convincing the country they were true. So 419 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: then Marcus Freeman steps up and he takes the job 420 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: after Brian Kelly leaves, and they get better and Marcus 421 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: Freeman improves. He enhances the recruiting effort, which wasn't bad 422 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: under Brian Kelly, but it was never you know, top 423 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: three elite under Brian Kelly. So they play for a 424 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: national title two years ago. They're the current odds on 425 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: favorite at FanDuel to win the national title this upcoming 426 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 1: year kickoff in seven months, by the way, such calendars. 427 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: But in the interim they sign the number two class 428 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: in the country. You know what Notre Dame is. Notre 429 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: Dame is what Daboswenny dreampt Clemson could be. Notre Dame 430 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: is vast majority lean on high school recruiting. They do 431 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: some in the portal, but you can clearly tell most 432 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 1: of their investment, energy and financial resource goes into high 433 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: school recruiting. They're reaping the benefit of it right now. 434 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: They don't have a ton of guys leave. They staff 435 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 1: very well well. There is a very very solid, identifiable 436 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: culture about Notre Dame. You don't have to talk too 437 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: long when someone asks, Hey, who are they? What are 438 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: they about? You know what Notre Dame football is about. 439 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: That's what Dabbo's tried to do at Clemson. They've just 440 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: had much more mixed results at Clemson than they have 441 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: it Notre Dame. You scan the top twenty, some of 442 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: them don't stand out. You got the usual suspects in there. 443 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: George is always there, Oregon's always there, Alabama's always there. 444 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 1: You know who's not always there? Washington is at thirteenth, 445 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,880 Speaker 1: which is fifth in the Big Ten, by the way, 446 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: And it goes to show you again the depth that 447 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: the Big Ten is building goes beyond a Big two 448 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 1: or Big three. It wasn't that long ago we were 449 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: talking about how top heavy the Big Ten had been. 450 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna say again, I'm gonna beat beat the 451 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: commenters to the comment section. Nothing about national signing they 452 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: guarantees any success. It just gives you a really really 453 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 1: good indicator. Since the beginning of time, programs that do 454 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: very well on signing day are disproportionately more likely to 455 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: do well during the season, with exceptions. So Washington being 456 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: up there, that's another blinking red light or I guess 457 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: blinking green light for the Big Ten and North Carolina 458 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: was at seventeen and they're not even led by a 459 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Famer and they're at seventeen. So 460 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 1: imagine if Belichick was in the Hall of Fame, how 461 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 1: good they could be. What a joke, man, I have 462 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: no time for it tonight. But what a joke. So 463 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: they signed forty kids, they signed ten Blue Chippers. I 464 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: still have skepticism. I do still have doubts about ultimately 465 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: whether they can be better than they have been in 466 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: this generation under Belichick, because that was the thing. He's 467 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: not there to win eight games a year. He's there 468 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: to be better than what they had. I still have 469 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: doubts about that. But if they're going to prove those 470 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: doubts wrong, if they're going to silence those doubts. You 471 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,479 Speaker 1: kind of have to do this sort of thing, and 472 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: then you have to stack these sorts of things. What 473 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: about immediate impact quarterbacks? Keishawn Henderson's a guy from Houston, 474 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,360 Speaker 1: signed with Houston. Six', three one eighty, five really highly rated, 475 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: quarterback number two overall prospect in the. Country i'm a 476 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: big fan of this sort Of Ed oliver vibes not a, 477 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 1: quarterback But Ed oliver back in the, day had all 478 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: the offers in the. World defensive lineman signs With, houston plays, 479 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:29,199 Speaker 1: well doesn't, transfer ends up in the, league plays a 480 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: long time in the, league and you're just, like that 481 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: was an era where that never, happened big time five 482 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: star talent never stayed to play for those caliber. Programs, 483 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: well it's kind of happening again. Here so that's a good. 484 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: Thing Now weigman's still, There jesse, right Like, Connor wigman's still. 485 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 1: There so it's not a slam dunk That henderson comes 486 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: in and plays, Immediately BUT i guess he could be 487 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,479 Speaker 1: in the. MIX i don't Think houston brings him in 488 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: to just sit there. Automatically houston sleeper. Team sleeper team 489 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,959 Speaker 1: this upcoming. Year Jared curtis right down the road, here 490 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 1: played his high school ball. Here he is going to 491 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: play For. VANDERBILT i think he's going to be their. 492 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: Starter six' three little over, six three two, twenty five 493 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: number two overall prospect in.

Volatile team we talked about their 837 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,440 Speaker 1: schedule the. Other day they kind of have a front, 838 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 1: loaded schedule then soft in, the middle then a. Backloaded 839 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,239 Speaker 1: schedule who We've got bam. At thirteen we just talked, 840 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:51,120 Speaker 1: about Them ole miss. At sixteen that was and it's 841 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,200 Speaker 1: still before we know what's going to Happen With. Trinidad 842 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:56,120 Speaker 1: CHAMBLISS so i will admit to You, without chambliss.

Right, jesse 845 00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,040 Speaker 1: yeah there's NO other sec team in the. Top twenty. 846 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,640 Speaker 1: That's it so what are we even? Talking about, if 847 00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,400 Speaker 1: anything this is as low as we would have HAD. 848 00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:15,160 Speaker 1: The sec, if anything this is sort of reflective of 849 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,319 Speaker 1: a little bit of a tempt down opinion OF. The 850 00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 1: sec if you really want to get mad, at someone 851 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:26,400 Speaker 1: get Mad. At FanDuel FanDuel's the one WITH real Sec 852 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,520 Speaker 1: by FanDuel's the one that you really ought to, Go 853 00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,399 Speaker 1: attack and, BY attack i mean with. Your money look at. 854 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:36,759 Speaker 1: These odds They got Texas and GEORGIA and LSU and 855 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,359 Speaker 1: a and M at Alabama, and oklahoma they all got 856 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,759 Speaker 1: them pretty high up there in the odds to win 857 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 1: the College football playoff this. Upcoming year so if they're overrated, 858 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:50,799 Speaker 1: by default that means many teams are underrated and you 859 00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,200 Speaker 1: should be betting. Those teams should? YOU not, i, ask 860 00:45:54,320 --> 00:46:01,440 Speaker 1: theoretically should?

Trouble now 895 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,120 Speaker 1: miami's not one. Of Them so miami just played for a. National. 896 00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 1: CHAMPIONSHIP miami i generally like the path they have this, 897 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,960 Speaker 1: upcoming year but. It's Weird so, miami's schedule if you're 898 00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,200 Speaker 1: looking at The slider bradley just, put up you can't 899 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:11,080 Speaker 1: tell that their first three games Are non. Saturday games 900 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,759 Speaker 1: they have four overall games that Are non. Saturday games 901 00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 1: so they don't play On a Saturday Until central Michigan 902 00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:23,239 Speaker 1: on september, twenty sixth which is kind, of weird kind 903 00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:26,840 Speaker 1: of adjust the body clock a little. Bit different but outside, 904 00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,680 Speaker 1: of that they play six of the bottom nine teams IN. The, 905 00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:33,360 Speaker 1: acc Now when i'm talking, About odds i'm just saying 906 00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,080 Speaker 1: we went, to FanDuel we looked at the odds to win, 907 00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:39,319 Speaker 1: it all and we stacked conference. Teams accordingly it's a 908 00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,280 Speaker 1: very rough, Metric there i'll. Grant You, In february miami 909 00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,360 Speaker 1: plays six of the bottom nine teams IN. The acc 910 00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,719 Speaker 1: they Don't, play louisville they DON'T, play smu they Don't. 911 00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:50,160 Speaker 1: Play virginia they do Go To, notre dame of course 912 00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,959 Speaker 1: that's a non. Conference game they do Go To notre Dame, 913 00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,840 Speaker 1: in november and that's the second leg of back to 914 00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:59,840 Speaker 1: back road Games. From miami but the trade off is 915 00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:02,600 Speaker 1: they get their final three games, At HOME so I like. 916 00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,520 Speaker 1: MIAMI'S path I think miami's a playoff, team AGAIN so 917 00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,440 Speaker 1: i really like. Their Path florida state has probably the 918 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:13,040 Speaker 1: toughest schedule IN. The acc if you've been sitting, around, 919 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:16,200 Speaker 1: thinking man it feels kind of Bleak For, florida state. 920 00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,720 Speaker 1: You're right but then if you were sitting around thinking 921 00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,320 Speaker 1: maybe they'll get a little reprieve from the, schedule maker 922 00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:24,839 Speaker 1: the schedule maker is applying body Blows To florida state as. 923 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,840 Speaker 1: We speak they play the top five teams IN the 924 00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:31,960 Speaker 1: acc in terms, of odds five, for five they play all. 925 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,319 Speaker 1: Of them they Go to louisville And, to miami back 926 00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,879 Speaker 1: to back. Road, games miami by, the way coming off, 927 00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,560 Speaker 1: A bye they've got two northern road games back to Back. 928 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:46,040 Speaker 1: In november they Go To, boston college they fly right 929 00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:47,920 Speaker 1: back up there and go to pitt the. Next, week 930 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:52,400 Speaker 1: oh by, the way out, of conference they just casually 931 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,960 Speaker 1: Play at alabama and Then play florida. At home so 932 00:49:56,239 --> 00:50:00,360 Speaker 1: we couldn't License the. Undertaker's music, we tried but just 933 00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,920 Speaker 1: just envision that play in as a soft audio bed 934 00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,960 Speaker 1: in the background. Right Now, GEORGIA tech i think has 935 00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,920 Speaker 1: a pretty, tough Road so, First Off georgia tech Plays 936 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,200 Speaker 1: eleven power. Four teams Not many power four teams play 937 00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:16,440 Speaker 1: ELEVEN other p. Four teams and not that it has 938 00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,239 Speaker 1: to do, with schedule But, Like haines king's, Moved On 939 00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:23,520 Speaker 1: buster faulkner Went, To florida so you're REPLACING an. Oc 940 00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:28,279 Speaker 1: quarterback combo there your backup quarterback left. As well and 941 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:32,920 Speaker 1: not only do they play what they play in Conference 942 00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:34,759 Speaker 1: let's i'll get to in, a second but you also 943 00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,359 Speaker 1: got to remember with Schedules Like, georgia tech They play 944 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,480 Speaker 1: georgia at the end of. Every year they're Also playing tennessee, 945 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:45,400 Speaker 1: this year so they play two BIG time sec teams 946 00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,160 Speaker 1: and out of. Conference play now what this could be 947 00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,359 Speaker 1: is it could be a situation where they Also. PLAY 948 00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,000 Speaker 1: colorado i didn't even mention that They play colorado to start. 949 00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:59,480 Speaker 1: The year it could be a situation where progress is not. 950 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,240 Speaker 1: Reflect linearly like this schedule is tough enough to where 951 00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:08,440 Speaker 1: just fifty Thousand Foot georgia tech does improve a little bit, 952 00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,160 Speaker 1: this year but their record is off from last year 953 00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,640 Speaker 1: just cause the schedule. Is tougher but the other thing to, 954 00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 1: look at if you'll look at this and you'll look 955 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:22,360 Speaker 1: AT the, acc portion it's not the toughest draw in. 956 00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,240 Speaker 1: The world they Don't, play miami they DON'T, play smu 957 00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:29,399 Speaker 1: they Don't. Play virginia because of those three real high 958 00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,560 Speaker 1: profile out of, conference games it kind of fools you, into, thinking, 959 00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:34,520 Speaker 1: Oh Man georgia tech's gonna. Be, buried hey they can 960 00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:38,000 Speaker 1: lose all three of those out of conference games theoretically 961 00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,320 Speaker 1: and still go play for a. Conference title so something 962 00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,880 Speaker 1: to keep an eye. ON there I think louisville feels, 963 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:47,319 Speaker 1: The Same but louisville even more so feels like this 964 00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,920 Speaker 1: to Me because louisville is Gonna Play ole miss in 965 00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,759 Speaker 1: an out of. Conference game they're Gonna play kentucky as 966 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,600 Speaker 1: they do, Every year so they book in their season 967 00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:00,640 Speaker 1: without a conference games AGAINST. The sec outside OF that 968 00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:04,080 Speaker 1: smu Game in, week three they play six of the 969 00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:07,480 Speaker 1: bottom seven teams IN the, acc odds which Means, no 970 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:11,839 Speaker 1: miami it Means, no clemson it Means. No virginia And 971 00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:14,719 Speaker 1: so louisville they Play. In nashville by, the way They 972 00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,480 Speaker 1: Play well Miss in nashville to start. The year they 973 00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,600 Speaker 1: could lose a Game in week one be kind of 974 00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:22,160 Speaker 1: off the radar a, little bit and then maybe THEY 975 00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,759 Speaker 1: play Smu in week three. And lose maybe an, underdog there, 976 00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:29,160 Speaker 1: we'll see and then they're really off. The radar there's 977 00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:32,200 Speaker 1: a World where louisville starts one and two and everyone 978 00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:34,880 Speaker 1: writes them off and they go on and play for a. 979 00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:40,200 Speaker 1: Conference title stanford very few truths in this, uncertain world 980 00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,160 Speaker 1: but one of THEM is i Don't think stanford's playing 981 00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:46,319 Speaker 1: for a. Conference title stanford is going to live in 982 00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,640 Speaker 1: the air.

THE show 1008 00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:20,840 Speaker 1: i think ONE thing i was thinking about yesterday that 1009 00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:24,200 Speaker 1: your question sort of triggered, In, me michael is the 1010 00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:27,480 Speaker 1: concept of a. BIG break a lot of people out 1011 00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:29,600 Speaker 1: there working a lot of jobs for not a lot 1012 00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:32,080 Speaker 1: of money who are looking for their. Big, break now 1013 00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:34,520 Speaker 1: this could apply outside of the. Media business i'm just 1014 00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:38,120 Speaker 1: familiar with the. Media BUSINESS so i was thinking about 1015 00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:42,600 Speaker 1: the concept of a big break and HOW man i longed, 1016 00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:44,960 Speaker 1: for IT and i prayed, for IT and i fought 1017 00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:48,680 Speaker 1: for it for a bunch of years over a. DECADE 1018 00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,279 Speaker 1: ago i didn't get IT when i, Wanted IT and 1019 00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,360 Speaker 1: i was just thinking back in retrospect at HOW fortunate 1020 00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:56,719 Speaker 1: i WAS that i didn't get my big BREAK when i, 1021 00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,000 Speaker 1: Wanted it because in, this business what you come to 1022 00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,719 Speaker 1: realize is times you only get one. Big break if 1023 00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,080 Speaker 1: that and if it comes at the wrong time and you're, 1024 00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,680 Speaker 1: not prepared no one really gives you a. Shot AGAIN 1025 00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:10,279 Speaker 1: and i was not ready for any kind of big 1026 00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:13,840 Speaker 1: break in twenty fifteen. Or SIXTEEN what i was ready 1027 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,680 Speaker 1: to do in twenty fifteen or sixteen is turn a 1028 00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:20,040 Speaker 1: microphone on and get a few thousand hours worth of 1029 00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:23,000 Speaker 1: reps in and take several years to. Do it to hone, 1030 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:26,200 Speaker 1: your craft to hone. YOUR skills i knew nothing about nothing. 1031 00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:31,560 Speaker 1: ABOUT nothing i, had very very rarely been in a 1032 00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:35,520 Speaker 1: SITUATION where i was on. Live air so THAT'S what 1033 00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:37,759 Speaker 1: i was ready to DO when I thought i wanted my. 1034 00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:41,560 Speaker 1: Big break so THE reason i bring that up IS 1035 00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,359 Speaker 1: because i know how bad it sucks to be making 1036 00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:47,040 Speaker 1: under thirty thousand dollars, A Year because i've, done IT 1037 00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:50,040 Speaker 1: and i know how much it sucks to not even 1038 00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:53,480 Speaker 1: know if you can afford rent and counting not dollars 1039 00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,560 Speaker 1: but quarters to make SURE that i can afford to 1040 00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:58,000 Speaker 1: put enough gas in the tank to get to. The 1041 00:55:58,000 --> 00:55:59,680 Speaker 1: station i'll just figure out how to. GET home i, 1042 00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:03,319 Speaker 1: don't know maybe take the. Work car, Like legitimately i've 1043 00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:06,799 Speaker 1: gone through all, this STUFF so i know how cloudy 1044 00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:10,239 Speaker 1: the vision can get and how your mind can get warped. Into, 1045 00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:12,360 Speaker 1: thinking man Even if i'm not ready, FOR it i 1046 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:13,839 Speaker 1: just got to. GET it i got to get out, 1047 00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:17,720 Speaker 1: OF here i got to make. Ends meet but the principle, 1048 00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:20,360 Speaker 1: still applies like if you're, not ready you're, Not ready 1049 00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:22,960 Speaker 1: and a lot of people tap out because. Of that 1050 00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:26,600 Speaker 1: but if you're, not ready you're. Not ready HERE'S what 1051 00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:29,600 Speaker 1: i mean. By that when you get your, big, break 1052 00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:31,680 Speaker 1: normally what people mean by their big break is it 1053 00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:35,359 Speaker 1: coincides with a, much better grander opportunity than. You've, Had 1054 00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,480 Speaker 1: right so normally that means a much bigger company giving you. 1055 00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,560 Speaker 1: A shot and what stands out, the most the biggest 1056 00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:45,719 Speaker 1: difference between you doing a podcast in your bedroom or 1057 00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:49,000 Speaker 1: in your base mone or your makeshift studio versus going 1058 00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:53,000 Speaker 1: and DOING live tv FOR an espn Or a fox 1059 00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:57,360 Speaker 1: OR a cbs is the production piece is so massive 1060 00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:00,360 Speaker 1: that it. Overwhelms you it can be a shock to. 1061 00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:04,600 Speaker 1: Your senses technically you're doing the. Same thing technically you're 1062 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:06,800 Speaker 1: talking to a microphone in. Your bedroom you're talking in 1063 00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,040 Speaker 1: a microphone if they're five million people watching you. At 1064 00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:12,080 Speaker 1: Home what i'm saying, is like if you've ever, experienced 1065 00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,920 Speaker 1: this it's one thing to hit off a t in. 1066 00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,640 Speaker 1: Your backyard it's another thing to be at the plate 1067 00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:21,120 Speaker 1: down one two in account state championship on the line 1068 00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:23,920 Speaker 1: with thousands of people. Watching you and this is just 1069 00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:27,200 Speaker 1: a high. School, comparison technically the mechanics are, the same 1070 00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,160 Speaker 1: but there's so much going on that is really hard 1071 00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:33,600 Speaker 1: to clear. The mechanism and what you find when you 1072 00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:36,000 Speaker 1: work your way up the ladder is the production just becomes. 1073 00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:39,720 Speaker 1: So huge the moment is, so huge the spot rather 1074 00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:43,520 Speaker 1: is so huge that oftentimes your mind is on everything 1075 00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:46,760 Speaker 1: but what it should be. Focused, on now if you've 1076 00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:51,000 Speaker 1: got repetition in, the bag and you've got a lot of, 1077 00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:53,680 Speaker 1: hours worked and you've got a ton of experience in, 1078 00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:56,760 Speaker 1: the bag you block out the noise and you're just 1079 00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:00,480 Speaker 1: able to. Do it but that right there born with 1080 00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:02,240 Speaker 1: no one's born. With it you may be Born with 1081 00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,160 Speaker 1: god given ability to. Do it hopefully, you are or, 1082 00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:07,360 Speaker 1: if not this is a. Moot point but a lot 1083 00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:09,200 Speaker 1: of people Have the god given ability to. Do this 1084 00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:11,680 Speaker 1: talent is very overrated in. This business what you have 1085 00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:13,440 Speaker 1: to have is you have to, have grind and you've 1086 00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:15,720 Speaker 1: got to have a proper value and. Principal system but 1087 00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,680 Speaker 1: you've also you got to have reps to where you can. 1088 00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:21,400 Speaker 1: Do this and then you're doing this and it doesn't 1089 00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:23,600 Speaker 1: matter how many people, are watching because you're just. Zoned, 1090 00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,160 Speaker 1: in truthfully you're not even paying attention to how many people. 1091 00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:28,400 Speaker 1: Are watching you're not even paying attention how much production 1092 00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:30,600 Speaker 1: movement there is going on. Around you you're not paying 1093 00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:33,320 Speaker 1: attention to. Studio movement you're not paying attention to how 1094 00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:35,600 Speaker 1: many white hot lights there are all over. The place 1095 00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,560 Speaker 1: you're not paying attention to just how involved the travel 1096 00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:41,560 Speaker 1: mechanism of the. Industry is you're not paying attention to 1097 00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:44,000 Speaker 1: all the stuff that could overwhelm you if you get 1098 00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:45,960 Speaker 1: your big break before you're ready for your. Big break it's. 1099 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,680 Speaker 1: The point and then the second THING that i personally 1100 00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:52,600 Speaker 1: wasn't ready to DO when i wanted my big break 1101 00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:55,200 Speaker 1: so BAD is i wasn't ready to ACKNOWLEDGE that i 1102 00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:58,000 Speaker 1: hadn't developed a style and a personality that. Was mine 1103 00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:00,480 Speaker 1: if you were to listen to me ten, years ago 1104 00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:02,640 Speaker 1: if you were to listen to a lot of you 1105 00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:05,040 Speaker 1: right now who are sort of just breaking in trying to, 1106 00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,480 Speaker 1: DO this i can see. Through you you could see 1107 00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:09,680 Speaker 1: through me ten. Years AGO what i mean by that 1108 00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:14,120 Speaker 1: is it wasn't. My style it was just me emulating. 1109 00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:18,680 Speaker 1: Someone else it was me emulating PEOPLE that i looked, 1110 00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:21,600 Speaker 1: Up to and therefore you can't help but mirror the 1111 00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:25,000 Speaker 1: personalities and the styles and deliveries and whatnot of the 1112 00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:27,360 Speaker 1: people that you listen to. The most it takes a 1113 00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,520 Speaker 1: long time to shake yourself. Of that it takes a 1114 00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:34,520 Speaker 1: long time to go from emulating, someone else which at 1115 00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:36,800 Speaker 1: best you'll always be a copy of and never, the 1116 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:41,960 Speaker 1: original to. Being yourself, so hopefully through, you know years 1117 00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:45,080 Speaker 1: and thousands of hours, of repetition you get to where 1118 00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:48,240 Speaker 1: no one can see through you and it's authentically, your 1119 00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:52,240 Speaker 1: style so much so that people start copying you because you, 1120 00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:57,080 Speaker 1: really have through repetition and, applied knowledge you've developed your 1121 00:59:57,080 --> 01:00:00,439 Speaker 1: own way of doing things, that works and then if your, 1122 01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:03,560 Speaker 1: way works then other people are taking cues. From you 1123 01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:06,360 Speaker 1: but the thing about, it is no one starts, that 1124 01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:08,680 Speaker 1: way or let me put it, this way very rarely 1125 01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,920 Speaker 1: does someone come out of the gate with, their own 1126 01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:16,200 Speaker 1: like fully formed on air persona and they've mastered the 1127 01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:19,520 Speaker 1: craft of their delivery and they've mastered the craft of. 1128 01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:23,280 Speaker 1: Audience psychology very rarely does. THAT happen i don't Know 1129 01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:24,920 Speaker 1: that i've ever seen. THAT happen i know it didn't happen. 1130 01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:26,880 Speaker 1: With me like if you're listen to me twelve, years ago, you, 1131 01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:28,840 Speaker 1: say dude you sound just like so and so, or 1132 01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:31,240 Speaker 1: man you're using the same phrasing that so and. So, 1133 01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:34,720 Speaker 1: uses yep THAT'S because. I was that's because they had 1134 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,280 Speaker 1: heavily rubbed off. On me, SO yeah i would among 1135 01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,000 Speaker 1: the two hour TED talks i could give, ON this 1136 01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:46,680 Speaker 1: i would, just say, work hard but don't try and 1137 01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:50,680 Speaker 1: expedite a big break like that stuff will come in. 1138 01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,040 Speaker 1: Due time that doesn't mean you have to sit back and. 1139 01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:56,200 Speaker 1: Be lazy that's Not what. I'm saying you're working hard 1140 01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:57,720 Speaker 1: and you can't see light at the end of the 1141 01:00:57,720 --> 01:00:59,080 Speaker 1: tunnel and then all of, a sudden it's just there, 1142 01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:04,040 Speaker 1: one day as, is FanDuel as.

State fans general rule of, thumb 1212 01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,760 Speaker 1: here we cut off the most positive and the most. 1213 01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:32,840 Speaker 1: Negative viewpoints we pushed them off to. The site we don't, 1214 01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:34,880 Speaker 1: dismiss them but we pushed them off to. The side 1215 01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:37,840 Speaker 1: in the middle eighty percent of the. Fan base it's 1216 01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:39,520 Speaker 1: a good time of year to sort of take the 1217 01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:43,520 Speaker 1: temperature gauge the mood if, you will of the middle 1218 01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:46,880 Speaker 1: eighty Percent Of ohio. State fans NOW'S best i. Can 1219 01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,840 Speaker 1: tell the mood has been sort of like they're trying 1220 01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:54,040 Speaker 1: to establish what the. Norm Is ohio state's got a really. 1221 01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:59,040 Speaker 1: High floor So Everyone ohio state fan or otherwise acknowledges 1222 01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:01,439 Speaker 1: that this is a team that's in danger of going 1223 01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:04,320 Speaker 1: six and six any, Given year so like the worst that's, 1224 01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:06,960 Speaker 1: gonna happen they drop a nine to three on you 1225 01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:09,200 Speaker 1: or something. Like that that's been the level they've been 1226 01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:11,800 Speaker 1: cruising at for, a while so everyone knows the floor. 1227 01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:14,280 Speaker 1: Is high but you've also got what we call on 1228 01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:17,959 Speaker 1: the show consequences. Of success those are problems that only 1229 01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:22,160 Speaker 1: the best of the winners have to. Deal With ohio 1230 01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:24,840 Speaker 1: state's one. Of those so, for example you're, going in 1231 01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:27,280 Speaker 1: you're winning every, other game but you're just Losing the 1232 01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:29,320 Speaker 1: michigan game a few too many years in. A, row 1233 01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:33,160 Speaker 1: well everyone wants. You fired that's a consequence. Of success, 1234 01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:36,480 Speaker 1: last year fresh off a national, title win by, the 1235 01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:39,440 Speaker 1: way You, beat michigan but then you go Loose to 1236 01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:41,560 Speaker 1: indiana and you lose in, the playoffs and those are 1237 01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:43,760 Speaker 1: the only two games you lost. All year but the season, 1238 01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:47,480 Speaker 1: ended poorly you didn't win, another title and people are unhappy. 1239 01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:51,080 Speaker 1: And disgruntled that's a consequence. Of success but establishing the. 1240 01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:54,400 Speaker 1: New norm, to me that mood is kind, of like 1241 01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:58,040 Speaker 1: are we just on a? Roller? Coaster now roller coaster 1242 01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:01,400 Speaker 1: rides normally have two big, thrill moments so of course 1243 01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:03,040 Speaker 1: if you win, a title that's one of the. Thrill 1244 01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:04,880 Speaker 1: moments and then if you go down one of the 1245 01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:08,080 Speaker 1: big drops to start the roller, coaster ride thus winning, 1246 01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:11,440 Speaker 1: a title it's understandable that you may go through the 1247 01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:14,120 Speaker 1: more boring part of the ride because sort of, building 1248 01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:18,000 Speaker 1: anticipation building momentum back up for the next. Big drop 1249 01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:21,920 Speaker 1: as long as that's what we're, doing here no one's 1250 01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:25,400 Speaker 1: outraged that all we did was go To The big ten, 1251 01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:27,200 Speaker 1: title game and all we did was go to the 1252 01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:30,920 Speaker 1: playoff last year coming off a national, title win had 1253 01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:33,960 Speaker 1: to replace a bunch, of talent had a lot of. Coaching, 1254 01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:37,840 Speaker 1: turnover hey worst things. Have happened as long as what 1255 01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:41,040 Speaker 1: we're leading to is another real shot to win a. 1256 01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:44,120 Speaker 1: National title maybe we win another, national title. That's fine 1257 01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:46,080 Speaker 1: if twenty twenty five is just kind of an in, 1258 01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:50,080 Speaker 1: between year. That's fine there, IS this i don't know it's, 1259 01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:52,880 Speaker 1: a fear but it's an acknowledgment way way way in 1260 01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:55,360 Speaker 1: the back of. Your mind it keeps you up a 1261 01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:57,520 Speaker 1: couple of extra minutes at night that twenty twenty four. 1262 01:06:57,640 --> 01:07:00,520 Speaker 1: Was it it's the only championship you'll Win Under. Ryan 1263 01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:05,080 Speaker 1: day is this? A likelihood is it. A possibility is 1264 01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:10,200 Speaker 1: it just a? Small possibility at the, very least it's. 1265 01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:13,120 Speaker 1: A possibility it's hard to win, These things, So yes 1266 01:07:13,600 --> 01:07:16,560 Speaker 1: in the More Negative ohio, state, fans mind, you think, 1267 01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:20,040 Speaker 1: all right well we Had the michigan problem and then 1268 01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:22,960 Speaker 1: we had to go all in and still Didn't, beat 1269 01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:26,560 Speaker 1: michigan but we won, a title and so. That's great season. 1270 01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:29,600 Speaker 1: Ended Wonderfully ryan day's a national championship winning, head coach 1271 01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:32,760 Speaker 1: and then kind of had to retool a. Little bit 1272 01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:36,000 Speaker 1: this past year still looked like the best team in 1273 01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,120 Speaker 1: the country until we get beat a couple of times 1274 01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:42,440 Speaker 1: to end. The year we Did, beat michigan but we 1275 01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:45,080 Speaker 1: fell flat when it counted the most in the playoff 1276 01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:51,160 Speaker 1: and we got pushed around in. The playoff now we 1277 01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:55,200 Speaker 1: come into, this Year The big ten collectively, is improving 1278 01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:59,680 Speaker 1: so we don't enjoy the benefit of just perceptionally being 1279 01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:03,000 Speaker 1: the odds on favorite every year. Here anymore oregan's. Pretty 1280 01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:05,560 Speaker 1: good but outside, of that we just talked about recruiting 1281 01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:07,840 Speaker 1: across the board In The big. Ten improving could it 1282 01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:10,960 Speaker 1: be that Collectively The big ten makes a little harder 1283 01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:13,960 Speaker 1: for us to play at the level that. We've played 1284 01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:16,840 Speaker 1: could we have administrative. ISSUES here i mean there's been 1285 01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:19,400 Speaker 1: a lot of chatter, around there, not loud but loud 1286 01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:22,000 Speaker 1: Enough For ohio state folks to hear about what we 1287 01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:24,639 Speaker 1: are and we aren't willing to do. In, nil basically 1288 01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:28,080 Speaker 1: what that boils down to is a very first world 1289 01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:32,120 Speaker 1: concern that only the bluest of blue blood programs fan, 1290 01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:35,479 Speaker 1: bases have and, that is are we going to maintain 1291 01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:40,439 Speaker 1: the edge that we've? Historically had alabama, Has This ohio state, 1292 01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:44,120 Speaker 1: Has this like the big boys for a long time 1293 01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:47,479 Speaker 1: have sat at the head table and the table's been 1294 01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:49,720 Speaker 1: tilted in, their favor and whether they want, or, not 1295 01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:53,599 Speaker 1: irrelevant the table's been tilted in. Their favorite texas tell 1296 01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:56,599 Speaker 1: the table's been tilted in the Favor of, texas forever 1297 01:08:57,120 --> 01:09:00,280 Speaker 1: whether they won because of it. Or not, the concern 1298 01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:04,080 Speaker 1: maybe At An ohio, state is wait, a second if 1299 01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:07,840 Speaker 1: everything's flattening out to, some degree are we always gonna 1300 01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:10,040 Speaker 1: have the edge that we? Have had because if, we 1301 01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:13,559 Speaker 1: don't maybe twenty twenty four was the best it's ever 1302 01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:16,800 Speaker 1: gonna get around Here Under.
