1
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: The signs were there when they tell the story of

2
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: yesterday in the history of books, don't you ever loved

3
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: to tell you stunner and it came out of or

4
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: the signs were there. You know it and I know it,

5
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: especially if you tune in the last week, because what

6
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: did we do like nine warning shows about yesterday? I

7
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: fired off about fifteen warning tweets. I don't want to

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: say I'm taking full responsibility, but my goodness, guys, there

9
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: were puffs of smoke from the top of the mountain.

10
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: We had tremors, we had seismic activity. The water had

11
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: turned acidic. We learned these lessons in Dante's Peak, and

12
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: it happens in college football. Not every year, but it happens.

13
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: We did not have a volcanic Saturday last year, but friends,

14
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: we had a volcanic Saturday yesterday. And if you're watching,

15
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: congrats because you survived or did you were jam packed

16
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: high at top a delirious downtown Nashville, Tennessee, one block

17
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: from where I sit right now. Van goalpost was paraded

18
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: down Broadway last night and dumped into the Cumberland River.

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: I got back in town last night. I flew back

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: from college station or from Houston, and as I was

21
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: coming back into town, there was a rescue operation underway

22
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: in the Cumberland, which is normally a bad thing, but

23
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: in this case, they were just pulling the goalpost up

24
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: out of the river. So things you see on a

25
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: college football Saturday night friends Bama down, Tennessee down, USC, Michigan,

26
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: Missouri down, Down, down Immunity. The AP pole is in shambles.

27
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: The JP pole stood up surprisingly well this week. I

28
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: mean it took some incoming mortar fire as well. We're

29
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: gonna talk about all of it. I have no clue.

30
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: We may go nine hours tonight. Colin's got to get

31
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: to bed eventually, so we're not going to do that.

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: But they're watching us in a longview Texas, Welsh, Louisiana, Spokane, Washington,

33
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: Little Rock, Arkansas. All I can tell you, and I

34
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: clapped for effect, is if you're not following on Instagram

35
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: at Lake Kick Josh, you missed a doozy of a weekend.

36
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: We had all kinds of behind the scenes sideline access

37
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: for you. Did a bunch of stuf Friday at A

38
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: and M. There were some photographs that a lot of

39
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: you made fun of, and I took names. I've got

40
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: receipts just like Canel. I can keep receipts as well.

41
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: We had a lot of fun this weekend. I'll talk

42
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: about that later, but we can't lead the show with fun,

43
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: although what I'm about to talk about was fun for

44
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: a lot of you, especially the more sadistic amongst us.

45
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: Alabama beat Vanderbilt. No, that's not the headline. Vanderbilt beats

46
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: Alabama yesterday in Nashville, and the entire world imploded in

47
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: on itself. Vandy was oh and sixty versus the top

48
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: five entering yesterday, and now they got a one in

49
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: the w column. This was a four point five Chalai

50
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: game on the one to five Chalai rating system. Congratulations

51
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: to Diego Pavia, who now secures ownership of the entire

52
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: state of Alabama. This dude casually marched into Auburn last

53
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: year and beat the Tigers with New Mexico State, and

54
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: now it beats Alabama as like a combined one hundred

55
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: point underdog. I don't know how else you go about

56
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: owning a state, but follow that blueprint. Just go beat

57
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: Bama and Auburn and that'll do it. I watched this

58
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: in stunned disbelief. I gotta tell you, even I, even

59
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: the person who sat here emphatically and told you Volcanic

60
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: Saturdays coming everyone booo, Even I didn't quite sound the

61
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: alarm thinking about this game, although we did keep it

62
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: vague enough to where I could reasonably take credit for it. No, no, no,

63
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 1: I didn't see this coming. And I'll tell you there's

64
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: a lot to be taken away from this on both

65
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: sides of the equation. So this is not the end all,

66
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: be all, or anything like that. But there are several

67
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: lessons we're starting to learn, and Bama's no difference. Several

68
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: lessons were starting to learn this deep end of the season.

69
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: But I don't know how. I don't know how you

70
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: felt about this. I had a whole bunch of people

71
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: of the opinion that, oh, it's Vandy man, it's just Fandy. Well,

72
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about that in a second. I'm gonna

73
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: talk about what Alabama is in a second. But I

74
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: don't know what kind of number sec netw on this game,

75
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: but I would imagine towards the end it had to

76
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: be one of their highest watched quarter hours in quite

77
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: some time. I watched it. You watched it. Everyone watched it,

78
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: and you know who else watched it. We waste no time.

79
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: We bring her in Saturday. Sarah McLaughlin's special happened right

80
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: here in Nashville, Tennessee. Courtesy of the Vanderbilt Commodoores. Alabama

81
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: fans headed up I sixty five expecting basically a social

82
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: event to break out, and instead they got a football game,

83
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: and they got the Sarah McLaughlin special dropped on front

84
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: of their head. Vanderbilt held the ball forty two minutes

85
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: in this game. Vanderbilt held the ball forty two minutes

86
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: on Bama. I mean they've got a majority of the stadium. Crimson,

87
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: It's going to be a nice Saturday in Nashville. We'll

88
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: get home by dark and you toed an l home.

89
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: Seven of nine drives four plus minutes for Vandy, twelve

90
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: of eighteen on third down. They out rushed Alabama, friends,

91
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: they out gained Alabama, They out coached Alabama, They out

92
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: played Alabama. They stormed the field on Bama. They took

93
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 1: the gold post out for good measure. They had nine

94
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: more first downs and after all the dust had settled

95
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: and Kaylin de Boord had his press conference there. You

96
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: see it Broadway and the Cumberland River in the distance,

97
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,799
Speaker 1: and the goal post while I'm sitting seven hundred miles

98
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: away on a tarmac in Houston, is being marched one

99
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: block away from the studio I sit in right now.

100
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: I flew seven hundred miles fourteen hundred round trip to

101
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: see a splattering. And I could have walked to this

102
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: game and seen the outcome of the afternoon, perhaps the

103
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: outcome of the year. The Sarah McLaughlin Special Vanderbilt Stun's

104
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: Alabama forty to thirty five. And I don't know how

105
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: much you know about Nashville geography, but you may think

106
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: back a couple of years ago, ironically, when Tennessee beat Alabama,

107
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: and you remember they tore the goal post down there.

108
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: We were at that game, got a little smoke in

109
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: elation on the field, even though it was outdoors, that's

110
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: how thick the cigar smoke was. And they took that

111
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: goal post out of kneeling and they dumped it into

112
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: the river there as well. And this may sound the same,

113
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: it's not the same. It's the Cumberland River is nowhere

114
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: close to Vanderbilt Stadium. In fact, I live, really, really

115
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: I live in downtown. I live downtown Nashville. I go

116
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: over there frequently. I do some radio stuff over there.

117
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: I know people who live over there. It would never

118
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: even occur to me to walk that distance. It's not safe,

119
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: it's not practical, it's not feasible. These people took that

120
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,679
Speaker 1: goal post the better part of two miles in heavy, heavy,

121
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: Saturday night broadway traffic and chunk that thing in the river.

122
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: It's not a movie script. That probably rejected on the

123
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: surface because Vandy beat Alabama, and then secondly because that's say,

124
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: you can't carry that thing that far. Well, maybe not

125
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: your grandfather's Vanderbilt, but this is Clark Lee's Vanderbilt. I

126
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: thought the broadcast yesterday did a great job of explaining

127
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: what Vanderbilt is and who Vanderbilt is. Most people have

128
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: no idea. We don't talk a lot about Vanderbilt on

129
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: this show because when I do, no one pays attention,

130
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: no one listens. The numbers are terrible, and I think

131
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: nationally not a lot of people know anything about Vanderbilt,

132
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: and I think the ignorance in what Vanderbilt is was

133
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: shown yesterday in people's reaction. People reacted and they said Vanderbilt, like,

134
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: you can't have this happening against Vanderbilt. Well, true enough,

135
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: Alabama can never lose to Vanderbilt, except what Vanderbilt was

136
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: and what Vanderbilt is two very different things. You can

137
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: acknowledge this without making excuses. I'm about to address Alabama

138
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: in a second, but we addressed the winners on the

139
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: show first, and Vanderbilt's the winner. Here. I thought the

140
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: broadcast did a really good job of explaining what Clark

141
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: Lee has tried to tell folks around Nashville over the

142
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: past year and a half, and that is, they realized

143
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: they had to scrap it. They had to scrap who

144
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: they were trying to be. They were pouring all of

145
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: this time and energy and investment into developing not just

146
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: football players but men. They were trying to develop the

147
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: same way that you would claim to try and do

148
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: it at other places. But what's happening is they were

149
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: pouring hours and hours and millions of dollars of resource

150
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: and manpower into developing guys and then they just leave.

151
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: If they get any good, they get poached in the

152
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: portal and they leave. And they realized this is this

153
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: is not utopia. We'd love to do it that way.

154
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: But this is the real world, this is Vanderbilt. We

155
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,679
Speaker 1: can't afford to do it that way. We're the bottom

156
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: rung in the ladder of this conference when it comes

157
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: to desirability to play at till we got to do

158
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: it differently. So what they did is they started doing

159
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: it differently, and they started going and putting a roster

160
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: together differently. I was listening to Barton who went on

161
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: our Friends will cover three last night, who Barton was

162
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: once a part of that pod and is the GM

163
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: over at Vandy now and I'll talk to him from

164
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: time to time. Talked to him a couple of months ago.

165
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: First words out of his mouth where, yeah, we got

166
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: a different kind of team this year. It wasn't some

167
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: guarantee or anything like that, but it was the makeup

168
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: of the teams different because we have to put it

169
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: together differently. Well, what they ended up with is they

170
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: ended up with a lot of pit bulls on their team.

171
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: And you got the rest of America thinking it's calculators

172
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: and bow ties over there, and it's not. And all

173
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: of a sudden, they're in a game against Alabama, and

174
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: here's what was the wildest part of this game? Okay,

175
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 1: Vandy got an early lead, Like that's happened before. We've

176
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: seen crazy stuff happen. They played Georgia last week. It's

177
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: not out of the realm of possibility. Bama could come

178
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: in flat and they did, and Vandy marches down the

179
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,599
Speaker 1: field and scores on him and then defensive score and

180
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: they're up thirteen to nothing. But the crazy part was

181
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: not that that's happened before. That'll happen again. The crazy

182
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: part is early third quarter, it's twenty three to twenty one.

183
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: Bama has settled things down, They've righted the ship, and

184
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: now it's a two point game. Still got almost a

185
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: full half of football to play. I'm thinking as I'm

186
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: driving back to Houston, I'm listening to Slash kind of

187
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: watching the game. I'm thinking, boy, I hope that we

188
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: remember what the first half of this game was, Like,

189
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: I hope Vandy gets for what they were able to accomplish,

190
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: sort of the way you sounded when USF played Bama

191
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: really tough, but it ended up looking like a blowout.

192
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm thinking Bama's about to hang fifty. Vandy

193
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: won't come close to that, and they may even end

194
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: up covering here the rest of the game was the story.

195
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: Vandy out played him the rest of the way. Like

196
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 1: Vandy out played him early, Bama catches that Vandy out

197
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: plays him the rest of the way. Outside of that

198
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: opening third quarter touchdown drive. For Alabama, they outscored him

199
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: in the second half too. That's the story. Like, that's

200
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: the difference. If you really want to boil it down.

201
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: You can talk all you want to about how undisciplined

202
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: Bama was defensively and they were. You can talk all

203
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: you want to about how unprepared they looked and they were,

204
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: and how flat and lethargic, whatever other adjectives you want

205
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: to throw around. All due criticism to Alabama, I'm about

206
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: to heap a metric ton of it on them. Vanderbilt's

207
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: a pretty good football team. And if you want to

208
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: do the whole it's just Vanderbilt thing, it's kind of

209
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: not because just Vanderbilt doesn't beat Votec in Week one,

210
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: they don't take them as wor to overtime. Vanderbilt goes

211
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: in shows what the low end of their capability is

212
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: when they lose to Georgia State. Because Vanderbilt is still

213
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: a roster. That's not chuck full of future Sunday players.

214
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: So their C minus game is going to get them

215
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: beat by a lot of inferior teams. But their best

216
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: this year is capable of way more than Vandy's best

217
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: used to be capable of. And we've got a huge

218
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: live audience, by the way, welcome in. We do this

219
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: thing free. We do the show like three nights a

220
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: week free. And we just simply asked that you subscribe

221
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: to the channel. That's all that we ask. Can we

222
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: appreciate it when you do? It? Takes a collective effort

223
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: to look this bad. I had I don't know, dozens

224
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: maybe hundreds of calls slash texts from my Alabama people

225
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: or people talking about Alabama about this game. And the

226
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: first thing that bothers me a little bit about college

227
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: football is when you lose a game, people only want

228
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: to make it about what went wrong, as if the

229
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: other guy is not allowed to try, like Vanderbilt is

230
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: not allowed to really try to win the game. Having

231
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: said that Bama's got to beat Vanderbilt ten times out

232
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: of ten, one hundred times out of one hundred, this

233
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: result is never supposed to be able to happen. So

234
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: I got a lot of calls slash texts like who

235
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: do you think this falls on? Do you think it's players,

236
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: Was it coaches? Well, it's everything. It's everything's collective failure

237
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: to execute on all fronts. So there is not a

238
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: person in that organization that doesn't shoulder at least some blame,

239
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: but it ultimately funnels up to the top. I think

240
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: Kaylin de Boor is one of the best in the game,

241
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 1: but he had his team unprepared to play this thing.

242
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: However that ended up happening. They were unprepared to go

243
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: up there and play or come up here and play,

244
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: and they'll never admit that. I don't think they'll ever

245
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: admit it. But you got to understand, there is never

246
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: been more talk about this sport than there is now.

247
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: There's never been more access to information shows like this

248
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: than there have been at any point in history. So

249
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: as long as you've got an organization of humans, you

250
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: cannot totally immunize yourself. You cannot totally wall off your

251
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: organization from outside noise. It's impossible for you not to

252
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: realize we just beat Georgia and now we're gonna go

253
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: play Vandy. You know what your mind shifts to your

254
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: mind shifts to what can we get accomplished this week?

255
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: Who can we give time to heal up this week?

256
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: I guarantee you that happened there as well. And it's

257
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: a bitter, bitter pill to swallow. Saw some folks talking

258
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: about Sabin's lost to Louisiana Monroe in year one. This

259
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: is worse than that. It's worse than that because it's

260
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: a ready made roster. Sabin didn't inherit one de bor did.

261
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: That's a ready made roster. That's a turnkey winner. For

262
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: all I know, this team could still go on to

263
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: win a national title. This team is probably still a

264
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: playoff team, but it didn't really matter yesterday. So I

265
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: think what we saw, I think what we're seeing with Alabama.

266
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: You're one under Kaitlyn de bor Is. If you go bowling,

267
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: you know a lot of us have been bowling. Bumper

268
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: bowling is really fun and really safe. It's really fun

269
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: because you can turn the ball loose as erratically as

270
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: you want to. It can't go in the gutter. And

271
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: the reason it can't is because the bumpers are pulled out.

272
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: Used to love it, I mean, I was still fifteen

273
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: years old trying to play bumper bowling. Well then they

274
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: told me eventually that's for little kids, and we had

275
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: to get rid of the bumpers, and I didn't go

276
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: bowling a whole lot after that. But bumper bowling is

277
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: really fun because it's all reward and very little risk.

278
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: That was Alabama football under Nick Saban. You guys knew

279
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: there was a certain degree to the left or right

280
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: that things could go, but it would never go in

281
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: the gutter, that you would never have this game happen.

282
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: But it happened yesterday. So what do we make of that?

283
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: Do we make of that the program is imploding? Do

284
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: we make of that that Kaylin de Boor can't tote

285
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: Nick Saban's jock. I don't think I make anything like

286
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: that of it at all. What I think we're seeing

287
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: is the trial run. It's not a trial run because

288
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: it counts, but it's the first run through this whole experience.

289
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: That is the sec for Kaylen Debor. They had a

290
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: totally unacceptable result happened yesterday, So now what like, what's

291
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: the reaction. If the reaction is they beat South Carolina

292
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: thirty eight to ten, then everything looks okay. But the

293
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: more results you get the more information you get, the

294
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: further crystallized your opinion can become. So think along with me,

295
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: what have we seen from Bama so far this year? Well,

296
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: we saw them play this really weird game against South Florida, right,

297
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: and it's forty two to sixteen, But it really wasn't

298
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: that because up until the final six minutes of the

299
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: game it was a dogfight. So we looked at that

300
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: game and we said, Hm, what do I make of this?

301
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: Let's let the future be the guide. That's what we

302
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: said on the show. And then they went to Wisconsin

303
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: and dominated the next week. But they dominated. Just tuck

304
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: it in the back of your mind after knocking out

305
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: Wisconsin's starting quarterback early on still counts. It's a when,

306
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: but you just tucked that away. Okay. So then they

307
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: played Georgia and they're up thirty to seven at the

308
00:15:58,560 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: half and they look like the best team in the

309
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: co and you have what happened in the second half,

310
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: go down and Ryan Williams makes the play he did.

311
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: And Ryan Williams either made a play that saved a game,

312
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: or based on the way you want to look at it,

313
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: he may have created a blatant disregard for what should

314
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: be major concerns defensively. I was totally happy acknowledging the

315
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: win for what it was. Let's see what BAMA does

316
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: moving forward. I never had the Vanderbilt game in my mind.

317
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: I had at Tennessee in a few weeks in my mind.

318
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: I can afford to overlook teams coaches and players cannot.

319
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: And whether they overlook Vandy or not, they go to

320
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: Vandy and get forty hung on them. I think fourteen

321
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: or thirteen of those were defensive scorers, but nevertheless they

322
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: count just as much as the offensive points do. And

323
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: so now we have an entirely disastrous four quarters of

324
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: football against Vandy. We have two quarters of pretty disastrous

325
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: defensive football against Georgia, And so it starts to stack up.

326
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: And you look at the last six quarters from this team,

327
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: and maybe you thought something previous or priority yesterday, and

328
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: now maybe you think something different. That's normal. That's called

329
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: adjusting your expectations and your perception with the added and

330
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: new information. But that defense is what it is like.

331
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: That defense is young. That defense, I think, dealt with

332
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,479
Speaker 1: a lot of what USF sort of exposed, and Vandy

333
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: saw and used the bye week to get ready and

334
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: then exposed them again with probably more effectively even than

335
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: USF did. Do they face a whole lot of offenses

336
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: that will probably commit to doing that down the road.

337
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 1: I don't think so. So maybe it's something you look

338
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: back on in time, you know, come December, and say,

339
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 1: I'm glad we didn't have to deal with a whole

340
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: lot of that anymore. I mean, Georgia Southern ran explative, explative, explative,

341
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: explative all over Alabama once upon a time, at the

342
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: height of the Saban dynasty. It's still one of the

343
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: legendary sound bites from him. No one really did it

344
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: the rest of the year, but it still happened. Now,

345
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: it was in a win, but it still happened. There

346
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: are pretty significant concerns here for Alabama. So what it

347
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: proved yesterday is the bumpers are gone. It is possible

348
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,959
Speaker 1: to go to an extreme that never would have been

349
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: possible under Nick Saban. There are many different reasons for that.

350
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: You can speculate on it all you want to. I've

351
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: got my own theories, but I've also got a lot

352
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: of show to do tonight. The bumpers are off right

353
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: now now as much as yesterday impacted your idea and

354
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: my idea of what Alabama could be for the rest

355
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: of the way. They've still got the second best odds

356
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: to win the SEC, still got better rise in Georgia, Tennessee, Ceca,

357
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: Texas is the favorite to when the SEC. Now, that

358
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: did change according to FanDuel yesterday understandably. So I'm looking

359
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: at this result and I'm thinking to myself, boy, this

360
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: is going to impact the future, but not just the

361
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: rest of October and November. A lot about what will

362
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: be Alabama in twenty twenty five, six and seven will

363
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: get decided over the coming few weeks. And that is

364
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: in the form of what is and isn't tolerated around there,

365
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: And that is in the form of what is and

366
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 1: isn't expected, what is and isn't the standard around there.

367
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: There are folks that are associated with that program right now.

368
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: There are folks on that staff right now that won't

369
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: be there next year. That's normal, that's churn that you

370
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,479
Speaker 1: would deal with in any level of college football. So

371
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,959
Speaker 1: the personnel, the pieces may come and go. One that

372
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: won't come and go is Kaylin de Bor. He'll be there.

373
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: And the other thing is the standard of expectation, and

374
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: not just what you expect, not just your goals, but

375
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: like what you have to do and how you have

376
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: to carry yourself in order to consistently obtain those week

377
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: over week, year over year. A lot of that is

378
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: still in the oven right now, and if you're any

379
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: good at what you do, you probably do some of

380
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: your best growing during times like these. So again I

381
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: am happy to look at this result and say, Wow,

382
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: that's disastrous for Bama. Wow. Hat tip to Vanderbilt legendary

383
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: afternoon slash evening in Nashville. But as it relates to

384
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: the future, one of these teams is baked into the

385
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: national title conversation every year it's Alabama. So we're gonna

386
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: find out a lot about what the makeup of the

387
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: program under Kaylindbor will be instead of just the team

388
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: over the coming weeks. Can't wait to see what they have.

389
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors has, in short, everything you need,

390
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: from hunting accessories and equipment, to grilling equipment, to fall

391
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: sports equipment, to back to school stuff and then not

392
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: just back to school stuff, but you got the initial

393
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: back to school stuff and they didn't like it, So

394
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: you have to make the return trip. Academy also there

395
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: for you tailgating HQ. They haven't trademarked that, but I

396
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: call them that. And Academy dot Com if you can't

397
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 1: get there in person. I was in Texas this past weekend,

398
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: so I saw an academy on every street corner. I

399
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,719
Speaker 1: know a lot of you don't have that luxury yet

400
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: to either move, which you shouldn't do solely for this reason,

401
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: or if you don't want to move to an area

402
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: that is very, very very full of academies, then just

403
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: Academy dot Com. Either way, they are the presenting partner

404
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: of this show and bring it to you free. All right,

405
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: let's move on. Got a whole lot to get to.

406
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: Got a big crowd in the live chat. Appreciate you guys.

407
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: Make sure make sure if you're watching or listening, you

408
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: are subscribed. That's all we ask. That's all we ask.

409
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 1: And the other thing I ask is that you bear

410
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: with me because got a pretty dry office here, so

411
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: I had to put some lip bomb on. Okay, Texas

412
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: A and M beat Missouri forty one to ten yesterday

413
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,479
Speaker 1: the whole New Saturday tour was in the house. It

414
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: was a splattering this right here is the look of

415
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: someone who witnessed a splattering yesterday. As a result, it

416
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: brings me no joy to say this game gets a

417
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: mere one point five Chali on the one to five

418
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: Chalai rating system, which means nothing to you if you're

419
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: an A and M fan, because you dominated the entire

420
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: day in every way possible. Missouri had allowed three explosive

421
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: plays all season coming into this and as we said

422
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: in the lead up to last week when we picked

423
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 1: A and M to win, which is not a brag

424
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 1: because like every one else did as well, but when

425
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 1: we were breaking this game down, we said, there are

426
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: some paper Tiger stats out there, no pun intended, and

427
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: they could be present with Missouri's team profile right now,

428
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: just given how little resistance they had had on their

429
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: schedule so far. And so they had three explosive plays

430
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: given up all year. Okay, well they gave up seven Saturday,

431
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: So what did it really mean. This is not the

432
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: National Football League where when you get halfway into the

433
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: season you can start throwing these stats around like your

434
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: top five in this or your top seven in that.

435
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: It means something a lot more at the pro level

436
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: than it does at the college level, where you've got

437
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: this disparity and strength of schedule. So A and m

438
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: ripped them yesterday all day, padlockstat here A and m

439
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: Out rushed to Missouri two thirty six to sixty eight.

440
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: That's ballgame, that's what that translates to an English ball game.

441
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: Six point six to two point three yards per carry advantage.

442
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: And if I were to give you that number Friday,

443
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 1: if I were to tell you, hey, I hear that

444
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: the games are aready been played. It won't be aired

445
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: until tomorrow. But I got the spoilers, and A and

446
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 1: m out rushes them two thirty six to sixty eight,

447
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: you would probably say, well, good for Marcel reid Man,

448
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: that backup quarterback shines again and he gets the nod.

449
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: Connor Wigman wasn't good enough to go, and they stuck

450
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: to the run. They stuck to what they should stick to,

451
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: and him and Le'Veon Moss they probably had a career day.

452
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: Reid didn't even get in the game to the fourth quarter.

453
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: This was Connor Wigman's game. They also just happened to

454
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: throw it for two seventy six. The rushing yards were

455
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: just a nice bonus. But Connor Wigman had a day man.

456
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: We got there Thursday night, I was on campus, I

457
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: was in the complex all day Friday. I think I

458
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: talked to pretty much every staffer that A and M

459
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: has had a pretty good idea that Wigman was gonna go.

460
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: Kept our mouth shut on it because that's professionalism, that's

461
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: how you have to roll. But the concern was, let's

462
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: get to game day, let's warm him up, Let's make

463
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: sure the ball comes out of his hand the way

464
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: that we wanted to. It's a shoulder injury, after all,

465
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 1: And it did, and so they never hesitated to start him.

466
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: And there was also this pent up frustration that after

467
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 1: the game, Elko aired publicly that to that point they

468
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: had said a word about They were like borderline irate

469
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,479
Speaker 1: in that place about what had allowed to permeate in

470
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: terms of rumor and innu window, if you will, about

471
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: Connor Wigman, not his play on the field. Elko after

472
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: the game even said, you can talk about him and

473
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: his play on the field and what he does and

474
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: doesn't do, well, that's fine. He's a big boy, he

475
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: can handle all that. But a lot of the stuff,

476
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: personal attacks, shots at character, et cetera, that are blatantly

477
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: false dropped a little lef bomb in the postgame, didn't he?

478
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: I actually thought it was warranted. Mema may disagree with me,

479
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: but I thought it was warranted. And he stood up

480
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 1: for his guy, because this guy went and acted like

481
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: a warrior all Saturday afternoon. So good for Connor Wigman.

482
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: Eighteen of twenty two. Like I said, two seventy six

483
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: eighty two percent completion day. A and M scored six

484
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: of nine drives to open the six of seven. Actually

485
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: my nines looked like sevens. Six of seven drives to

486
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: open the game. This thing was over so early, so early.

487
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: Missouri had a really really good pass down the far

488
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: sideline on their first play from scrimmage, I think, and

489
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: that concluded a lot of Missouri's big plays for the day.

490
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: There's six opening drives. This could be its own little

491
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: mini Sarah McGlocklin special downs three and out, three and out,

492
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: three and out, punt, three and out touchdown. Congrats. Probably

493
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 1: missed holding call there to in the half, and it

494
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: was already long over long decided before that. Brady Couok

495
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: never had a shot in this game, so I think

496
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: Brady Cook has struggled with his accuracy all year. There's

497
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: been a lot of stuff that's been open that he's missed,

498
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: and he's missed it against lesser competition. So I had

499
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: concerns about him coming into this environment. I don't think

500
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: he looked one hundred percent healthy, but I don't know that.

501
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: I just think that's the way he looked. But if

502
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: he's not, he's got good reason not to be. Six

503
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: quarterback hurries, six sacks, He was hobbled at times at

504
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: A and M had eight defensive tackles for loss. And

505
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: did you see the end of this game? Just say no.

506
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: I know most of you tuned out, but I was

507
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: there until the bitter end. And I'm telling you, Missouri,

508
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 1: they got to the three yard line, they got the

509
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: first and goal three yard line. It was second to

510
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: two actually at the three times ticking away, and seven

511
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: plays later they were at the six yard line. A

512
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: and M's defense bowed its neck late. And this is meaningless,

513
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: you know, garbage time, so to speak. It's not meaningless

514
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: if we're talking about what we talked about with Bama.

515
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: You know, you're talking about trying to install and instill

516
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 1: a standard of performance regardless of score, nameless, faceless opponent,

517
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: all that stuff. You think is boring, and a lot

518
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: of you think is coach speak. It's real. That's called culture.

519
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: Theirs has sucked at Texas A and M for a

520
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,719
Speaker 1: long time, and now it doesn't so much anymore. I

521
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: thought that spoke volumes didn't matter. Eli decides to kick

522
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: a field goal, which meant fifty one total points instead

523
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,239
Speaker 1: of forty eight total points. The total was forty eight

524
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 1: and a half. But I digress. There's a lot that

525
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: needed to be undone there when Jimbo left. Okay, just

526
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: to kind of paint the picture of how I see

527
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: Texas and in football when Jimbo left, it wasn't a

528
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: start from scratch thing, because there's some good players there.

529
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: It wasn't a start from scratch thing in that you

530
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: have to build the infrastructure. Infrastructure's incredible. If you ever

531
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 1: doubted me when I've said that's an elite, top ten job,

532
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: I just wish I could take you with me. I

533
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: wish I could take you. I went out to eat

534
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: with Luci Friday night. I cannot in strong enough terms

535
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 1: explain to you how casually billionaires walk around out there

536
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: and one hundred millionaires walk around out there. Jean Shorts,

537
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: you know tucked in T shirt graphic on the front.

538
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: It's absolutely amazing. It's already made winner. It has been

539
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: for over a decade now, the post manziel A and

540
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 1: m Era, they've had two head coaches there. Neither of

541
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: them were the right guy for the job. But when

542
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: Elko came in, it's not a rebuild, it's an undoing.

543
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 1: There's a lot of crap there. There's a lot of

544
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: things politically that you just have to unwind and undo,

545
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: and frankly, it probably scares some guys away. Luckily for them,

546
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: it didn't scare him away. This is not a complete

547
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: a mission by any stretch. It is a work in progress.

548
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 1: Great passing of a test yesterday. Think about how infrequently

549
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: Jimbo's teams got this kind of margin on significant opponents.

550
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: It was always a dog fight. Every first down felt

551
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: like a dog fight under Jimbo. Now I got theories

552
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: on that as well, maybe some misconceptions about what were

553
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: the strengths and weaknesses under Jimbo. We'll talk about that

554
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: another day. That is not for tonight's show, but work

555
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: in progress. And now here's what I want to do.

556
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: I don't have. I mean, I got an empty cup here,

557
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: but just pretend they're rat poison pills in here. I

558
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: went up to the press box during the second half

559
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: yesterday just to say hey to some people. And I

560
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: know that the press box is not Texas A and

561
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: M fans at large, but I think what was being

562
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: said or whispered around the press box probably echoes a

563
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: lot of what A and M folks were saying, and

564
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: that is, could we be a one loss team when

565
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: Texas comes in here? Nope, plug the years, don't even

566
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: want to hear it. I watched carnage all over the place.

567
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: I watched bits and pieces of contenders get splattered all

568
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: over the place yesterday. I don't want to listen to that.

569
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: For your guys' sake, I don't want to listen to

570
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: that now. If you are a one loss team when

571
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: you play Texas, we'll be back there. But I don't

572
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: want to hear that because there are several losable games.

573
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: Because apparently in twenty twenty four college football, every game

574
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: is losable for everyone. Nothing is real anymore. And as

575
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: me mall once always well, she once told me and

576
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: then always did, if nothing's real, anything is possible, So

577
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: anything is possible. Texas A and M right now they

578
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: got a bye week and in Mississippi State, and then

579
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: La su comes in there. Can you smell it? Can

580
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: you smell it? Yes? Yes, it's rat poison. Do not

581
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: eat it. Do not eat it. We were there yesterday.

582
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: We had a great time. In fact, Colin we go

583
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: there Thursday night so that I can speak Friday, we

584
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: had we had Laura Rutledge, myself and Amanda Scarborough roll

585
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: into the classroom there at Texas A and M Friday.

586
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: That classroom is in Kyle Field, by the way. It's

587
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: my kind of format. It's an hour of Q and

588
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: A from some of the brightest students that want to

589
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: seek this track in either media or public relations or production.

590
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: And it's great and tech SAgs. Actually I think filmed it.

591
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: It's available somewhere. But that was really fun. And then man,

592
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: Saturday was awesome. I I stand up like I ride

593
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: for Texas A and M's game day environment and most

594
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: of you hate on me for it, and it's okay,

595
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: but I love these folks and I don't really care

596
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: who hears me say it. And I think probably fifty

597
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: percent of the one hundred and five thousand in attendance

598
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: asked to take a picture, and we're happy to do it.

599
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: That's what God created all these commercial breaks for. So

600
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: there is a purpose for them after all. And so

601
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: we were out there getting sunburnt and celebrating there with

602
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: the locals. Missouri had a good contingent. But this picture

603
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: right here is what I want to talk to you about.

604
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: Because yes, on one hand, my left hand is a

605
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: little low, and I am already aware of some of

606
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: the subcontexts that would inevitably go along with me taking

607
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: a picture with the yell leaders. But I want to

608
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: tell you I regret nothing about this picture, and everything

609
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: from my mom to Scott Van Pelt, to producer Jesse

610
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: and management can say whatever they want to about this picture,

611
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: and they all did. I had Colin put it on

612
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: air anyway, because you know what, I had a great

613
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: time Saturday, and I don't care what the rest of

614
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: you think about it. Am I defensive? Am I lashing

615
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: out due to insecurity? Some would say that I'm not

616
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: necessarily sure I agree with it. I don't know that

617
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: I disagree with it. I just want it to have

618
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: been said and shown on the air. So thank you

619
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,719
Speaker 1: to our fine friends out in College Station for what

620
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: was a wonderful weekend. Now, having said that, we're on

621
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: the road every week, and Quick Trip makes that possible

622
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: because they fuel the whole New Saturday Tour. Quick Trip

623
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: has also made it possible for me to just figuratively

624
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: Frisbee free gas cards at my leisure and we'll probably

625
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: give some free gas weight at some point this week,

626
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: So be on the lookout. And the best way to

627
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: do that, by the way, is to just go to

628
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: a quick Trip, take a picture of yourself there and

629
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: tag me on Social. I can't give it to everyone,

630
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: but I can give it to a lot of folks community. So,

631
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: without further ado and a loaded week six or Week

632
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: seven card on the horizon, where are we headed this week? Well,

633
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: we're headed a long way away. Nashville is where Nashville is,

634
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: and Oregon is all the way up there, about halfway

635
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: to Russia. But we're going anyway the whole New Saturday Tour.

636
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: Week seven. We are headed to Eugene, Oregon for Ohio

637
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: State versus Oregon. And what they tell me is, now, yes,

638
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: a Big Ten conference game. We haven't seen Ohio State

639
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: tested a whole lot, and they've looked great and we've

640
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: seen Oregon slowly but surely get that act together. They

641
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: got one extra day's rest here in home field advantage.

642
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: We saw Michigan travel to Seattle Yester Dame and get victimized.

643
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: Now we get to see Ohio State go to Oregon

644
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: in what might very well be one of the games

645
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: of the year. We have not been up to Oregon

646
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: quite a while. Went up there for the UCLA game

647
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: and it was a whitewashing, so to speak. This one

648
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: figures to be much more competitive, and this will be

649
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Man cannot wait to get up there,

650
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: and we have several old friends in Oregon that we

651
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: want to say hey to. But you know what, we

652
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: got several old friends traveling there on the Ohio State

653
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: team plane that we want to say hey to. So

654
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: it'll be a fun time up there. I think we'll

655
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: be there all day Friday, so you know, playing your

656
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: schedules awardingly. All right, back to action here again. If

657
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: you're watching live as well over ten thousand of you are,

658
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: we appreciate it, and we just asked that you subscribe

659
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: to the channel if you haven't already. You know what's

660
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: funny if we were to have projected live viewership. At

661
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, you would have thought this

662
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: would be one of our lighter trafficked Sunday nights, which

663
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: just means don't anticipate college football like anticipate its arrival,

664
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,720
Speaker 1: but don't anticipate what it's going to deliver, because it'll

665
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: always prove you wrong and over deliver. Case inpoint, Tennessee

666
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: goes to Fayette the last night Fayetnam. To the more

667
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: informed in the South, especially when you're a ranked team

668
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: going in there against unranked Arkansas, they will take the

669
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: tip of that nose, they will push it up, and

670
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 1: they will just shout woo pig on you all night.

671
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: And they did. And you know what, they only needed

672
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: nineteen points to beat Tennessee last night. In the model

673
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: kind of low key cooked on this one. And I

674
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 1: feel bad because the model was screaming take Arkansas on

675
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 1: the points, and I screamed right back at it, and

676
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: that ended a predictable fashion. Arkansas needed this so bad.

677
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 1: I don't mean the university, that's just brick and mortar,

678
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: those are buildings. The people of Arkansas needed this so

679
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: bad because it's been a down time for quite a

680
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: while and there was this brief injection of life when

681
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: Sam Pittman first got there. And I'll tell you why,

682
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: because he's one of them. He's one of their own.

683
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,760
Speaker 1: And he took over for you know, a long laundry

684
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: list of people who didn't properly appreciate what they have

685
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: there in Faeateville. And he does, and you cut him

686
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: open and he bleeds Arkansas red. But then, slowly but surely,

687
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: is he really the right guy? And then boom, he

688
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: drops a four Chili Classic on un A win last night.

689
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: They needed it, They needed it so bad. Their last

690
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: win over a top five team was a three overtime

691
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: win against LSU. And does anyone know what year that

692
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 1: game happened? In anybody? It's two thousand and seven, two

693
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: thousand and seven, two thousand and seven. I say it

694
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: three times for effect only, because yesterday felt a lot

695
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: like drum roll please, two thousand and seven. And I

696
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: just want to leave that here. I just want to

697
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: have sprinkled that into the show tonight because it may

698
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: be nothing, or it may be a sign of things

699
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 1: to come. Arkansas has had a tough time of it.

700
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: I was so happy for these folks that they got

701
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: this win. Now, it was bad for Tennessee. But if

702
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: you're going to fall, I want you to fall somewhere

703
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: where I think the folks really deserve it, whether it's

704
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: Vandy or whether it's it's Arkansas. So good for the

705
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: Hogs and good for Trey Biddy over at Hogsports two

706
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: four seven. College football is so different. College football is

707
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: great sport on the face of the earth. We all

708
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: know it. That's why we're watching the show. We're doing

709
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: the show tonight. But Buddy, covering the NFL is a

710
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:56,760
Speaker 1: suit and tie affair. Covering college football is a company polo.

711
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: Pouring sweat on a Saturday night in the trench is

712
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 1: a fair Grab your softie stick, go down there in

713
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: a sea of Arkansas humanity and do exactly what Trey

714
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: Biddy did last night. This right here is my favorite

715
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,919
Speaker 1: thing that any of our team site guys do every week.

716
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: This piece of content that he does called the Walk

717
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: and Talk. And for so long hold the footage for

718
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: a second, colin. For so long I have watched Trey

719
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: Biddy have to mope around an empty stadium where the

720
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: only sound is trash blowing around in the stands, and

721
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 1: he's having to explain as best he can how Arkansas

722
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 1: blew one again and finally last night. It's not an

723
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: empty stadium, it's not a head held low, it's not

724
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: very questionable posture that's gonna affect a spine later on.

725
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: Trey Biddy and all his glory is down there in

726
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: the thick of it, and right here is what separates

727
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: college football from the NFL's pandemonium. Here and playing off.

728
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: There's a lot of orange in this crowd today, a

729
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: lot of disabboted people. What's up about a Lotti say?

730
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: This was a god of environment that we've missed. People

731
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: talk about like Arkansas always loses to a thing they're

732
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 1: not supposed to. They may eat a team that they're

733
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: not supposed to do and miss one. Finally got that one.

734
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 1: It's both twenty twenty two against whole mess. It's the

735
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: really beating somebody and nobody gave him a chance. Ten fourteen.

736
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: I love it, I love I love Trey Biddy and

737
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: I love it and I don't care who knows. You know,

738
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: there are different types of wins in college football. So

739
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: sometimes you have the star performance where some guy just

740
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 1: goes off and it's clear that that's the player of

741
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: the game. That's the way the game was won. There's

742
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: the kind of game where your plus five turnovers and

743
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: you sort of luck your way into a win, and

744
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 1: then there's just the gritted out program win. That's what

745
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: Arkansas had yesterday. I was on the flight back last

746
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: night watching this. Probably came close to flying over fatal actually,

747
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 1: and I've got like four games going on simultaneously. Thank

748
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: you United. I heard Klatt had problem with his United

749
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: flight home, But you guys came through for me at least.

750
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: But they lose Taylor Green, so I see out of

751
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: the corner of my eye there goes Arkansas starting quarterback,

752
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: and then Jaquinnin Jackson for good measure, their best running back.

753
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: He goes down as well, one of the best tailbacks

754
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: in the country. And you know what that means. It

755
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: means that if you're trailing a team like Tennessee and

756
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: your two studs go down, you came close, and you'll

757
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,720
Speaker 1: play what if forever, but you're gonna lose that game.

758
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: And Malachai Singleton comes in backup quarterback there and he

759
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: leads a touchdown drive and Tennessee still got a minute

760
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 1: and change left with two timeouts. So then your mind's thinking,

761
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: I can't believe Arkansas's got the lead here, Like, how

762
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: in the world did this happen? Well, what a story

763
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: this would have been. But uh oh uh oh they

764
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: left him too much time, but they didn't leave him

765
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: too much time. Travis Williams, defensive coordinator there at Arkansas.

766
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: He can't be a player of the game, but I

767
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 1: mean he can vault his way high atop the Broyls

768
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 1: Award list, if you will, of which I'm a voter on.

769
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: So I'm kind of giving you away a little bit

770
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: of what I thought about their defensive performance yesterday, because

771
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 1: they held on and they got a stop down there

772
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: when they needed to, and it was such a relief.

773
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: It was such a validation of the fact that no

774
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: one's given up up there, no one's mailed it in.

775
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: I think the biggest disparity between the way maybe a

776
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: casual fan watches sports college football specifically, versus the way

777
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: college football actually happens is when you got guys who

778
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:29,760
Speaker 1: are from a place they don't have any other options,

779
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: like Sam Pittman. He'll retire one day, maybe sooner rather

780
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: than later, I don't know, But like Arkansas, failing is

781
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: not an option for him. So in pro sports, I mean,

782
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: I watched Deshaun Watson walk off a field today and

783
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: just decline to go for it on fourth down. Man,

784
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: that's not the attitude that people have in college football.

785
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: At places like Arkansas. There's so much pride in the

786
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 1: performance for the folks that you're one of. And so

787
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: they've been bad, but it's never it's never been an

788
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: issue of well, they've let go of the rope. They

789
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: just hadn't been good enough, and so he made some moves.

790
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: This past hiring cycle brought Bobby Petrino in. He's got

791
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 1: himself a really good defensive coordinator up there as well,

792
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: and they hadn't white flagged it. I don't think Tennessee

793
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: overlooked them either. I saw a lot of my Tennessee

794
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: folks saying, man, how could we overlook Arkansas? You just

795
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: got beat by Arkansas, You were coming out of a

796
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: bye week. You didn't overlook them. Stop playing around. You

797
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: didn't overlook them. You just weren't good enough. You were

798
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: the second best team Saturday night. So then when I

799
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: start thinking about Tennessee, I'm thinking, Okay, what are we

800
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: dealing with here? With NIKOI and Maliava. I had my expectations.

801
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: Everyone had their expectations coming into the year. He's not

802
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 1: going to meet them. This year doesn't look like all right. So,

803
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: like I talked about with Bama, and like I'll talk

804
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: about with a bunch of teams, the more information we get,

805
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 1: the more we calibrate and readjust our perception and therefore

806
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: our expectations. So they had one explosive pass yesterday. In

807
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: this game, Nico played wire to wire. It kind of

808
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: it had shades of what the Oklahoma game was. But

809
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: in the Oklahoma game, they popped Oklahoma hit Thornton over

810
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: the middle and he busted one to the house, and

811
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: that was sort of a separator. And then it became

812
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: blatantly obvious with Jackson Rdal being benched, Oklahoma was never

813
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: going to mount any kind of legitimate comeback into the

814
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: very end of that game. Arkansas got back in this

815
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: game yesterday, but Tennessee never pulled away like they never

816
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: broke the twenty point barrier in this game like they

817
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: did that game. So they had seven drives that went

818
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: thirty or less plays and ended in a punt. They

819
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: averaged sixty three points. Their first three games. We knew

820
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: it was against inferior competition, but we I did not

821
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 1: expect the crowbar protocol to be in place here. And

822
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: you could decide, because honestly, either of these work. Some

823
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:56,479
Speaker 1: people think crowbar, They think Nancy Kerrigan shin's she's down,

824
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 1: she's out, she can't skate anymore. I mean crow bar

825
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:01,839
Speaker 1: as in the effect it has when you throw a

826
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: crowbar in bicycle spokes. And the reason I use that

827
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: is because it doesn't slow the bike down, It just

828
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 1: stops the bike suddenly. And that can happen in college football.

829
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: You can get fat on inferior competition, but if you

830
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: face a certain level, the freeze point is we like

831
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: to call it, then all of a sudden, you go

832
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: from going really fast to you're not going at all.

833
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: And that's Tennessee's offense. That was Tennessee's offense yesterday, or

834
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: to a large degree it was. Play calling is under

835
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: heavy fire right now from Tennessee fans. You know, I

836
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: don't question play calling on this show. I'm not qualified to.

837
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 1: I don't think most of you are either, But I

838
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 1: don't do it. You can do whatever you want to,

839
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: but I will say this knowing Josh Hipel like I do,

840
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,240
Speaker 1: or like I think I do, I think there's probably

841
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 1: a pretty good reason why he's choosing to call plays

842
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: the way he is. You may not like how little

843
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: he attacked down the field, or you may not like

844
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: this and that, but a lot of that is him

845
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: understanding what he does and doesn't have, and does and

846
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: doesn't trust about his offense right now. And a lot

847
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: of it is also what the defense is giving him.

848
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of that is baked into the

849
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: equation as well. But now now it gets real for Tennessee,

850
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: as it does Arkansas as well, because now Tennessee's got

851
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: Florida coming in this week, and you want to know something,

852
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 1: You want to know what FanDuel said about that game.

853
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 1: Florida fresh off a win, Tennessee fresh off a loss.

854
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: Tennessee's favored by sixteen and a half Saturday in Kneeland

855
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 1: against Florida. I was there the last time Florida went there.

856
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: It wasn't a pretty afternoon for him. So if oddsmakers

857
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: are right, it'll be a great, big bounce back moment

858
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: for Tennessee in this offense. I'll have to see him

859
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 1: cover that number to believe it, but maybe they will.

860
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: We'll see. Arkansas threw away the Oklahoma State game. I

861
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: think most of us know that if we watched it,

862
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: they were in a dogfight with A and M last week.

863
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: And that's nothing to be sad about, because A and

864
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: M is a pretty good team as it turns out.

865
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: Here's the meaning of that. You are not always what

866
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 1: your record says you are. Sure Arkansas was a three

867
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 1: and two team coming into this game yesterday, but when

868
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 1: we look at the way those two losses played out,

869
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: we understand this is a team that could just as

870
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: easily have been five and oh as they were three

871
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: and two. And that doesn't matter for the past, but

872
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 1: what it does affect is the here and now in

873
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: the future. And so there was always the possibility in

874
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: the deck of cards going into last night that you

875
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,479
Speaker 1: could face a team with its back against the wall,

876
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: in wounded animal mode at home, that plays at a

877
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: five and oh level against you, because they're capable of it.

878
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what you got, and it wasn't enough.

879
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 1: You didn't have enough. Hypel knows what he does have

880
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 1: what he doesn't have, and Arkansas is now four and

881
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: two going into a Buyo and then they play LSU.

882
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: I think at home after that. And like I said,

883
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: Florida is a Tennessee. So what we got is we

884
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: got a very very muddy picture in the SEC at

885
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:57,240
Speaker 1: the top. You got Texas up there and they haven't

886
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: hit the meat of their schedule yet. We've got Texas

887
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 1: A and M in the mix. We got LSU, Georgia, Ole,

888
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 1: Miss Alabama, Tennessee, like a lot of these teams in

889
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,479
Speaker 1: the mix. But you know, statistically Arkansas is as well.

890
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: So let's not write this in pen here we have

891
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: a pen I would recommend dropping that, and I would

892
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: recommend just putting all these opinions we have right now

893
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: down in pencil, cause scary, scary times could be ahead,

894
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: not just in this conference, but in college football in general.

895
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Pensacola, Florida, Columbus, Ohio, and San Marcos, Texas.

896
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: Thank you guys so much. So yesterday I was blessed

897
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 1: to be in an eleven AM game at Texas A

898
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: and M, which means you can get down to Houston,

899
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: you can fly home, and you can be back in

900
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: Nashville by the time the night games happened, which I

901
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: was which brings me to this next piece of paper

902
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,800
Speaker 1: that I hold my hand. Cal scored thirty eight points

903
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: last night, which is probably gonna be enough because Miami

904
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 1: had like fifteen or sold on the board midway through

905
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,439
Speaker 1: the third quarter. But wait, late, breaking news. I'm being

906
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,439
Speaker 1: told in an outcome that many of you didn't see

907
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: because you gave up and went to bed last night,

908
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: Miami storing back to win the game. Miami beats Cal,

909
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: shocks Cow stuns Cal thirty nine to thirty eight. Then

910
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: you may say, Josh, can you really stun someone as

911
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: a ten point favorite? You can when you were trailing

912
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 1: by as many as they were. The energy in this

913
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: game was incredible. Late, I give it three and a

914
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 1: half Challi on the one to five scale. The energy

915
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: exiting the Virginia Tech game for Miami was that of

916
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 1: either jubilation because you won a game, or if you

917
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: watched it like I did, you asked, is this going

918
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 1: to be the kind of team that has to lose

919
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: in order to learn lessons? Cause sometimes you're exposed or

920
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: you play really sloppily, but you just happened to win

921
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: the game and you learn from it, and you're like

922
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: and you learn from it and you move on and

923
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 1: you're better for it. But more times than not, if

924
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:02,479
Speaker 1: we're being real, in college players don't respond well until

925
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: they lose. Unfortunately, human nature is a lot of times

926
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 1: you have to lose. You got to feel that pain

927
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: in the locker room in the next week before you

928
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: really respond positively. And when I saw the start of

929
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,839
Speaker 1: this game, that's the first thing I thought was, Yeah,

930
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,879
Speaker 1: maybe they just delayed the inevitable by getting that win

931
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 1: against Virginia Tech because this looks ugly. They're down thirty

932
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: five to ten. So my answer to do you have

933
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: to lose to learn a lesson from Miami early was yeah?

934
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:34,280
Speaker 1: And then it happened. What was it? Well, anything that happened.

935
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: Basically after midnight Central time, cam Ward throws a pick

936
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: six early in the third quarter. I cannot tell you

937
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: how irate I was, Like, I didn't have any money

938
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,879
Speaker 1: on this game. I'm just looking at it and I'm

939
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 1: thinking if I were Shannon Dawson, if I were Mario Christobal.

940
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: I'm watching cam Ward sprint out to the right and

941
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: throw across his body to the far hash and the

942
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 1: ball that floats in the air for time to it

943
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 1: like fifteen seconds in the air, and it's picked off

944
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 1: and it's taken back to the house, and that puts

945
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 1: you down multiple possessions. And I'm thinking to myself, I'm

946
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: not cut out to be a head coach. I'm not

947
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 1: cut out to be a coordinator. There's no way I

948
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: could watch that, Like, that's not even a serious football play.

949
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 1: That's backyard garbage quarterback play that if you do it,

950
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: you only do it because you know, oh, there's no consequence.

951
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: I'll throw it up. Who cares. I mean, it's just

952
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: a little touch football game we're playing here, except this

953
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: is a conference game and it matters, and that happens,

954
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: I would lose it. I would lose it. So then

955
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 1: I look at cam Moore come back to the sideline,

956
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:40,320
Speaker 1: and Mario looks at him. I don't see any yelling.

957
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: And then Shannon's standing there. I don't see any yelling.

958
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 1: He's just kind of he pulls his little microphone up

959
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 1: on his headset and he's talking through what they're about

960
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: to do. And at that point I realized, if I

961
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 1: hadn't already, this game is not for me. I don't

962
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: think I could have composure at that point. But the

963
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: reason you have to have the composure is because of

964
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,800
Speaker 1: what happened after that. What happened after that is he

965
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 1: ends up going thirty five to fifty three, four hundred

966
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: and thirty seven yards, two touchdowns. He accounted for two

967
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy seven and three touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

968
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 1: And what you realize is when you have a gunslinger

969
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: at quarterback, there is gonna be some bad that you

970
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 1: have to accept to get the good. It's just the

971
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,320
Speaker 1: way it is. If you watched like a Brett Favre

972
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 1: play when I was a little kid growing up, I

973
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,919
Speaker 1: would watch the same thing, and I would think, how

974
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: can a guy that's gonna go on to, you know,

975
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 1: be like in the Hall of Fame one day make

976
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 1: some of these decisions that he makes. What's the same

977
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 1: way cam wored did what he did last night. You

978
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 1: just got to take it and it's got to be

979
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: understood that it's going to be part of it. You know,

980
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 1: you could go back to what you had last year

981
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 1: where you had all the turnovers and you really didn't

982
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: have the high end performance, or you can occasionally have

983
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: the absolutely like mind numbing, nauseating pick but also have

984
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: a heisman potential kind of sprinkled over it to cover

985
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 1: it up. And I think that you would take that

986
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: there was a badlock stat in this game, which is

987
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 1: like a misleading padlock stat. Cal averaged twenty four point

988
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: eight yards per reception. Yesterday. Cal had a reception of

989
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:14,799
Speaker 1: fifty seven, of fifty one, of sixty six and of

990
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: fifty six. My professional analysis of that is we got

991
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 1: some work to do in the Miami secondary, that's first

992
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: thing I would say. And secondly, Vandy and Cal took

993
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: very different approaches yesterday because Cal got in a position

994
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: that Vandy got in, and then Vandy looked over at

995
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: the gas pedal and hit it as hard as they

996
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:38,360
Speaker 1: could and Cal didn't. They were up thirty eight to eighteen,

997
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: and then they had seven runs and one incomplete pass

998
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:44,800
Speaker 1: and two sacks, and that kind of coincided with Miami

999
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 1: scoring on back to back possessions and it was game on.

1000
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: And at that point it's the rubber of band effect,

1001
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 1: a rubber band effecting. You let go of the rubber

1002
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 1: band and more talented team ends up coming back to

1003
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 1: beat you. Cal two point nine yards per carry, by

1004
00:51:56,320 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 1: the way, so there's an element of this. It feels

1005
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,879
Speaker 1: like Miami's kind of whistling past the graveyard because we've

1006
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 1: seen him two games in a row. Now again, the

1007
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 1: more information we get, the more we can crystallize our

1008
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 1: opinion on a team. It feels like there's an element

1009
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: of whistling past the graveyard because you got the Virginia

1010
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: Tech game go the way it does and they don't

1011
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: look good, but they win. Then you got the col

1012
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:19,399
Speaker 1: game goes the way it does and they don't look good,

1013
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: but they win. And winning matters, it's the only thing

1014
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: that matters. But this wasn't a title game. This is

1015
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 1: not the last game of the year. If it was,

1016
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:30,360
Speaker 1: I would say that, I would say winnings all that matters.

1017
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 1: How you win matters in the regular season when it

1018
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: comes to how you're going to play the rest of

1019
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: the way. So there's still blinking red lights on this

1020
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 1: Miami defense and on this Miami team. But they're also

1021
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 1: undefeated and going into a bye week and their next

1022
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 1: games at Louisville and then they got Florida State and

1023
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 1: Duke and Georgia Tech and Way and Syracuse, And I

1024
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: know you listen to that and you're like, Okay, get

1025
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: to the hard parts there isn't one, at least as

1026
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,839
Speaker 1: you would define it. But you know, I didn't think.

1027
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 1: I didn't think Bama had a hard stretch yesterday and

1028
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,359
Speaker 1: they got beat So Miami could get beat by any

1029
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,280
Speaker 1: of those teams, but they're not going to get tested

1030
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 1: by top ten competition, if that's what you're waiting for,

1031
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:11,439
Speaker 1: until maybe, just maybe they go to the conference title game.

1032
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: Maybe still a long way to go there, But congrats man,

1033
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 1: because it takes a different kind of mentality to get

1034
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 1: off the deck and come from behind and win a

1035
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:24,720
Speaker 1: game like that. And to their credit, cal represented themselves

1036
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: very well all day yesterday, and I thought the game

1037
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:32,839
Speaker 1: they scene was incredible. Coke Versus Woke was one of

1038
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: the all time marketing slogans for a game. I think

1039
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 1: it's better than Catholics versus Convicts. I think Coke versus

1040
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: Woke is just unbelievable. And I also think that as

1041
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,959
Speaker 1: sharp as the political divide is in the country, they

1042
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 1: harnessed it like they bobbled it up, and they made

1043
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 1: it something that everyone could collectively laugh at. And I

1044
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 1: at this point, I wish we didn't do a better

1045
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 1: job of highlighting col versus Auburn. You know, like just

1046
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: deep blue versus Deep red in retrospect, I don't think

1047
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:09,840
Speaker 1: we highlighted it enough. It's cause it didn't get the

1048
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,240
Speaker 1: game day treatment, I guess, but some of those signs.

1049
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 1: The first sign at college game day yesterday morning was

1050
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: I thought this was a protest, just unbelievable comedic stuff

1051
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: that was dished out on game day yesterday. So I

1052
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,399
Speaker 1: loved it. And then for good measure, Reese Davis gets

1053
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 1: called into emergency action last night and has to call

1054
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 1: the game like twelve hours after game day, So there

1055
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 1: were a lot of MVPs last night on and off

1056
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:39,320
Speaker 1: the field. Next up, Washington beat Michigan man Washington twenty seven,

1057
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 1: Michigan seventeen. It was not an overly esthetically pleasing game.

1058
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: I'd give it two and a half taly on the

1059
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 1: one to five scale. But it was a classic AP

1060
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 1: versus JP, and by that I mean the AP had

1061
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 1: Michigan ranked top ten coming into this game. We didn't

1062
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: have him top twenty five. We thought Washington would win

1063
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,319
Speaker 1: the game. We picked him out right, and they ended

1064
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: up winning, which they should because they were favored. Upset.

1065
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 1: Do we really want to use that word to describe

1066
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 1: a two and a half point favorite winning a game.

1067
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that that's the way I'm going to

1068
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: describe it, but I do have a Padlock stat for you.

1069
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 1: Here it is. Here's the game. Washington had six red

1070
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 1: zone trips, Michigan had one, and Michigan is not an

1071
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:22,840
Speaker 1: explosive team that scores from the fifty a lot, so

1072
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: we got what we expected here. Will Rodgers, you saw

1073
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 1: him play under Mike Leach at Mississippi State. Well, he's

1074
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,800
Speaker 1: kind of back now like he's playing very good football.

1075
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: He was twenty one to thirty one for two seventy one,

1076
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and a pick yesterday, and Washington had seven

1077
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 1: different guys catch a pass and in the fourth quarter

1078
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:45,280
Speaker 1: another paper pop. Here the drive chart for these teams.

1079
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 1: Like Washington finished Michigan off, Michigan couldn't finish. Michigan went

1080
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 1: three and out, fumble, interception, end of game, and Washington

1081
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:57,399
Speaker 1: went field goal, pick, touchdown, field goal, So they put

1082
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:00,800
Speaker 1: thirteen points on the board or fourteen was I was

1083
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 1: watching this game on the way home, but I had

1084
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 1: a lot of games on Michigan though they're as bad

1085
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:07,800
Speaker 1: as we thought that'd be offensively, that game against USC

1086
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 1: was wonderful, and we picked them to beat USC. We

1087
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,360
Speaker 1: thought there was a very specialized game plan there that

1088
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: could beat USC. But remember that week, I also said

1089
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:18,439
Speaker 1: this will be them at their very best in terms

1090
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 1: of rating and ranking, like they're not going any higher,

1091
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 1: and they aren't, and they weren't. So they almost got

1092
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 1: beat by Minnesota. They did get beat here. And the

1093
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 1: dirty secret about them is not the offense. Everyone knows

1094
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 1: it's bad. Their defense is not elite either, and that

1095
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 1: was supposed to be the thing you could count on.

1096
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 1: They got high level players over there. Staffing I think

1097
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 1: is significantly down grade wise. We've got a grade on

1098
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:45,319
Speaker 1: every coach out there, and the grading that we've got

1099
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 1: on Michigan's defense it was substantially off, to the point

1100
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 1: where I didn't even point it out in the preseason

1101
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:54,280
Speaker 1: because I thought it maybe an outlier, but it wasn't.

1102
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 1: And as a result, they only forced three punts yesterday.

1103
00:56:58,000 --> 00:56:59,799
Speaker 1: Washington missed two field goals in this game too, So

1104
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 1: Washington had nine completions of fifteen plus yards against this

1105
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:08,800
Speaker 1: Michigan secondary. They are not an elite unit there. They're good,

1106
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 1: but they're not an elite union. And what are we

1107
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: gonna do with Washington. I'm hold on a second, I

1108
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 1: don't want to lie to you. Now I'm looking at

1109
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: what will be the jpepole coming up Tuesday night. Washington

1110
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 1: is Oh, hold on just a second. I will put

1111
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 1: that user in time out. Sometimes I have to police

1112
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 1: the live chap. Washington's bordering on being in the jpeople.

1113
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 1: This week they lost close against Washington State on a

1114
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: fourth and goal. They were missed three field goals against

1115
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: Rutgers away from winning that game. And they got a

1116
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 1: tough game this weekend. Now, they got a really tough

1117
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 1: game this weekend against Iowa that I know. There are

1118
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 1: some dynamics we value here that heavily favor Iowa in

1119
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 1: that game. So don't overlook that when it all just

1120
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: cause they got drug Ohio State, because a lot of

1121
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 1: people will. But Washington is a total wildcard team. No

1122
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 1: one including me paid any attention to him in the preseason,

1123
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: and their fans would argue we didn't pay attention last

1124
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: year either. That's a lie. We were just wrong about

1125
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 1: the games, but we did pay attention. So good on Washington, Man,

1126
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 1: good on Washington. They are right in the thick of

1127
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:20,439
Speaker 1: this thing right now. They're a two to one team

1128
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: in conference play right now, and just to seamlessly transition

1129
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 1: to this next game. Now we're starting to rattle through them.

1130
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: The big ten standings there, the big ten standings got

1131
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 1: a little shake up yesterday Minnesota took down USC and

1132
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: we spent a large portion of the Thursday show sounding

1133
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: the alarm about this game, and it was fairly entertaining.

1134
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 1: I put three chali on this game on the one

1135
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 1: to three scale. But Thursday I sat here and we

1136
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 1: kind of detailed why we thought this was. This was

1137
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 1: a big upset potential. And the first thing was USC

1138
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 1: is the fourth most traveled team in FBS over the

1139
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 1: last month. It was a big look ahead spot because

1140
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 1: they got Penn State coming up this weekend. Minnesota was

1141
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 1: sixteenth in the country and pressure rate, and also I

1142
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 1: didn't like to match up at all up front because

1143
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 1: Minnesota averages three ten plus. Every one of their old

1144
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 1: linemen a three ten plus and USC is not. They

1145
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 1: are still very light in the breeches, as Memal would say,

1146
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 1: in their defensive front. And what happens is I go

1147
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 1: on air and I say, y'all got one defensive lineman

1148
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 1: above three hundred punds right now, it's not a good matchup,

1149
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 1: And you want to play semantics with me because everyone

1150
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 1: lies in their media guide about the weights of their players.

1151
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm telling you you think I'm just running my mouth

1152
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 1: about this stuff. Our buddy here always loves to get

1153
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: after us and then turn into a cricket when we

1154
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 1: prove him wrong and dunk on him. Josh has gotten

1155
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 1: so bad he just lies to get clicks. First off,

1156
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 1: we don't have only one defensive lineman over three hundred.

1157
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:55,440
Speaker 1: We have six that are two ninety plus. It's amazing

1158
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 1: to watch the fall of Pate out of the need

1159
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 1: for attention. Flash. If we wanted to get clicks around

1160
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 1: here would be better at it than anyone. And secondly,

1161
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure if I want to get clicks, Minnesota's

1162
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 1: offensive line and how they match up with someone is

1163
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 1: not the first piece of low hanging fruit. I'm gonna

1164
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:16,200
Speaker 1: go after. What happened was we told you the truth

1165
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 1: and you didn't like the way the truth sounded, so

1166
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 1: you called it clickbait. Because, as we know, anything that

1167
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 1: you don't agree with or you don't like the sound

1168
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 1: of is clickbait. It couldn't be that you're wrong on something.

1169
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 1: It couldn't even be that someone has a differing point

1170
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 1: of view that's valid and is with merit and logic based.

1171
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 1: It cannot be that. So I sit here and tell

1172
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 1: you I don't like the match up up front. I

1173
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:42,720
Speaker 1: think Minnesota can lean on him despite the fact that

1174
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 1: Minnesota had not been all that great running the ball

1175
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 1: this year, but the matchup was bad. Minnesota ran it

1176
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 1: for five point one yards per carry. We told you

1177
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 1: that the pressure rate would probably matter here us. He

1178
01:00:56,480 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 1: had zero explosive passes Miller Moss through two picks. Minneso

1179
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 1: got after him. They had six quarterback hurries, eight pass breakups.

1180
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 1: And holding USC to seventeen is getting it done. They

1181
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 1: won twenty four to seventeen. Like that's getting it done.

1182
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 1: Run the ball, play good defense, pick your spots, quarterback

1183
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 1: makes timely throws. That's Minnesota football. That's what it's supposed

1184
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:20,440
Speaker 1: to be. They played it yesterday. USC played fairly well.

1185
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 1: I mean it's not It wasn't a garbage performance, but

1186
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 1: there was a bad luck stat here. You look at

1187
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:29,280
Speaker 1: this third down conversion rate. USC goes seven of eleven,

1188
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 1: Minnesota goes two of eight. You think Southern cal one

1189
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 1: football game, and they didn't. Because there's a fundamental issue here.

1190
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 1: You can either accept it or not. Lincoln Riley's a

1191
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 1: wonderful coach. Lincoln Riley is in year three at USC,

1192
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 1: but he's in year one of a rebuild, and some

1193
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:50,360
Speaker 1: people cannot square that. Some people think, Okay, you took

1194
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 1: over three years ago, so you're in year three of

1195
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 1: a rebuild. He's not because he didn't hire the way

1196
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 1: he should have. He did not staff the way he

1197
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 1: should have. When he got there. He had a defensive

1198
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 1: coordinator that had no business having the defensive coordinator role

1199
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 1: at Southern calum And so he didn't course correct immediately

1200
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 1: and as a result, he got the year three. Now

1201
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 1: he's hired the right guys. If you just sit there

1202
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:14,920
Speaker 1: and give them time, they'll get it right. USC will

1203
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 1: be a big time contender. But some people can't square that.

1204
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 1: You're free to have your opinion on that. It's your program,

1205
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 1: it's not my program. And I'm not saying there's like

1206
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 1: a unanimous yes or no on this, but a lot

1207
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:31,120
Speaker 1: of people simply cannot accept and aren't willing to accept

1208
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 1: that notion that you can be three years in but

1209
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:38,240
Speaker 1: be one year into a rebuild, but they are. That's

1210
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 1: just the reality of it. Like it or not, that's

1211
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 1: the reality of it. Two Big Ten losses now and

1212
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 1: Penn State come into town. Penn State plays in the

1213
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 1: Coliseum this Saturday night at FanDuel. Right now, Penn State's

1214
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 1: favored by four and a half. That's going to be

1215
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 1: one of the games of the week, and there is

1216
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 1: mass disagreement in the building right now about how that

1217
01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 1: game is going to go. But still got a long

1218
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:02,640
Speaker 1: way to go. There are a lot of other teams

1219
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:05,920
Speaker 1: that physically can get after it with you, Like Minnesota

1220
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 1: did not a terrible game, not a terrible game. There

1221
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 1: are losable and winnable games here. But USC has fallen

1222
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 1: a good way. They are now eighth in the odds

1223
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 1: to win the Big Ten championship. So that took a

1224
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 1: fall yesterday after that second conference loss. Let's move on.

1225
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 1: I got a couple more games to get to I

1226
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 1: got two best bets to start the week, and I've

1227
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 1: also got a couple of bones to pick with the

1228
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 1: ap pole because some of this stuff is ridiculous. Ohio

1229
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:35,720
Speaker 1: State splattered Iowa yesterday. We all knew they would. They

1230
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 1: took a seven to nothing lead. I kid you not.

1231
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 1: I looked at someone standing next to me and I

1232
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 1: put my phone away and I said, all right, well

1233
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 1: we can check out of this one one Chalice on

1234
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 1: the one to five Chali rating system. What does an

1235
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 1: elite team do? An elite team takes inferior teams and

1236
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 1: disposes of them and never gives them any oxygen. And

1237
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:59,440
Speaker 1: so some people knock that. I don't know how, but

1238
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 1: they look at it and they say, I can't give

1239
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: you any credit, calls you haven't played anyone. Well, I'll

1240
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 1: look at it and I'll say, but if you disposed

1241
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,040
Speaker 1: of all of them, you could be an elite team,

1242
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 1: because that's what elite teams do. It doesn't prove you

1243
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:14,680
Speaker 1: are this week will go a long way and doing

1244
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 1: that because they play at Oregon this week and we'll

1245
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:18,760
Speaker 1: be there for that game. But Ohio State was five

1246
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 1: for five for thirty five points in the red zone.

1247
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 1: That is destruction. It's not even domination. That's destruction. And

1248
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 1: this is Iowa that we're talking about. Ohio State met

1249
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:34,400
Speaker 1: the freeze point, didn't they They were the team that

1250
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 1: was able to turn Iowa into a bend and break

1251
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 1: defense instead of a bend but don't break defense. Iowa,

1252
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 1: by the way, and the least shocking headline imaginable zero

1253
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 1: red zone trips, zero red zone. Ohio State allegedly pretty

1254
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: good defensively so Week five, best offense they faced is

1255
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 1: probably Michigan State. That's Ohio State. That's probably the best

1256
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 1: they face so far. Love what I've seen from Will

1257
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 1: Howard so far, really really good red zone especially, they

1258
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 1: look improved on the offensive line. Oregon is ten times

1259
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 1: the challenge that anyone they will have played so far

1260
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:10,560
Speaker 1: will be. Specifically, the defensive front of Oregon can get

1261
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:12,840
Speaker 1: after you. And you're gonna play on the road and

1262
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:15,600
Speaker 1: what absolutely is the most hostile place you will have

1263
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:17,880
Speaker 1: played all year. And then you'll go to Penn State

1264
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:19,200
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks and you'll get another dose

1265
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 1: of it. But I look at the Oregon game and

1266
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 1: I kind of think that's the Michigan game this year.

1267
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 1: Penn State could have a lot to say about that.

1268
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 1: I don't mean in the form of overtaking the rivalry,

1269
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 1: nothing like that. I'm saying the challenge that you've come

1270
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 1: to expect Michigan to give you the last few years

1271
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 1: that's Oregon and Penn State. But it may be Oregon

1272
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:40,520
Speaker 1: even more so than Penn State this year. And the

1273
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 1: reason I mentioned that is because that game is this week.

1274
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:46,200
Speaker 1: Ohio State is the overwhelming favorite right now to win

1275
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:49,480
Speaker 1: the big ten. Oregon is number two, and then there's

1276
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 1: a little distance, and then Penn State number three, and

1277
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 1: the rest of the field Indiana. How about Indiana having

1278
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 1: better odds to win the thing than Michigan and USC

1279
01:05:57,720 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 1: at this point. Interesting, We move along, We got some

1280
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:06,440
Speaker 1: got some other games to talk about here. Georgia thirty one,

1281
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:09,400
Speaker 1: Auburn thirteen. Most of you probably didn't watch a lot

1282
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,439
Speaker 1: of this game. I felt very strongly about this game.

1283
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:15,200
Speaker 1: I felt like Georgia would win. I felt like Auburn

1284
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:17,840
Speaker 1: would cover. The number was way too big, I thought,

1285
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:21,680
Speaker 1: and it ended up closing at like three touchdown, ended

1286
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 1: uplosing it twenty one. It was up to twenty four

1287
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 1: and a half during the week two Chali on the

1288
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:30,120
Speaker 1: one to five Chaali rating scale. Interesting vibe here because

1289
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 1: Auburn's not a bad team when they don't turn the

1290
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 1: ball over. Kind of knew that, kind of talked about that.

1291
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 1: I asked, if we just get an even turnover game.

1292
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 1: How in the world is Auburn a twenty four and

1293
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 1: a half point dog. Well, we got an even turnover game,

1294
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:45,040
Speaker 1: and Auburn well within the margin there, but still lost.

1295
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:48,760
Speaker 1: The box score actually makes this thing look way scarier

1296
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 1: than the final. The finals thirty one to thirteen, comfortable.

1297
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:56,560
Speaker 1: Georgia win right three eighty one to three thirty seven yardage,

1298
01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 1: the rushing totals one forty one to one thirty seven,

1299
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 1: passing two forty to two hundred, first downs twenty one

1300
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 1: to eighteen. Neither of them turned the ball over. Average

1301
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 1: yards per play five point eight to five point eight.

1302
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:13,480
Speaker 1: This sounds like an evenly played game. Here is the problem,

1303
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 1: as it was in so many games yesterday. Georgia four

1304
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 1: for four in the red zone for twenty eight points.

1305
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:21,520
Speaker 1: That's as good as you can do. Auburn two for two.

1306
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 1: They kicked two field goals inside Georgia's ten. That was

1307
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 1: the difference in the game. You don't really need to

1308
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:28,520
Speaker 1: know a whole lot more about that. We finally got

1309
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:31,320
Speaker 1: the zero turnover game from Auburn. That's the good news.

1310
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:33,919
Speaker 1: Bad news is George is pretty good and they didn't

1311
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 1: let him capitalize on opportunities. There was a moment after

1312
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 1: this game, I think courtesy of our friends not at

1313
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:43,920
Speaker 1: Fox five in Atlanta, where Kirby was talking about something

1314
01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 1: that I have not heard him have to talk about

1315
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:50,200
Speaker 1: at Georgia before. But I knew if they kept winning,

1316
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 1: could become an issue. And believe it or not, this

1317
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 1: is a big point of consternation right now amongst some

1318
01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 1: Georgia folks. So I'm gonna have common play the sound

1319
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:01,760
Speaker 1: and then I'll talk about it. On the other side,

1320
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 1: there's a great victory for Georgia.

1321
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 2: Tell you what, it was hot out there, today's shock

1322
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:08,920
Speaker 2: and if anything, to be honest, I'm a little disappointed,

1323
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 2: and I'm probably disappointed in our fans for the first

1324
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 2: time that I thought there was, you know, a lack

1325
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 2: of really affecting the game crowd noise wise, passion and energy.

1326
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 2: And hey, it was hot, but our players got full

1327
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 2: pads on helmets, pads, and it's hot out there and

1328
01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:25,840
Speaker 2: they're pushing trying to have a home field advantage like

1329
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:28,679
Speaker 2: we've had, and we've played against teams and I can't

1330
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:32,200
Speaker 2: get crowd noise, you know, and that's frustrating for me.

1331
01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:33,840
Speaker 2: So I just be honest, about it. I think we

1332
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:35,599
Speaker 2: got to do a better job as fans, and I

1333
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 2: know I got to do a better job as a coach.

1334
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:39,120
Speaker 2: But we need these fans to support us, and these

1335
01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 2: players need them behind them.

1336
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:46,519
Speaker 1: Remember when Sabin was during his run at Alabama, and

1337
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 1: I would always talk about something called the consequences of success,

1338
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:51,400
Speaker 1: And then Kirby went to Georgia and started winning, and

1339
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:54,200
Speaker 1: I started talking about how they would start suffering the

1340
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:58,759
Speaker 1: consequences of success. You always want to be in position

1341
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 1: to suffer from those consequences because it means you're winning

1342
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:04,720
Speaker 1: a whole lot. Winning a whole lot does not mean

1343
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:06,559
Speaker 1: you lose problems. It means you have a new set

1344
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 1: of problems. And this is one that they're dealing with. Now.

1345
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, they went and played in Bryant Any

1346
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 1: last Saturday night and saw the most incredible environment I

1347
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:17,720
Speaker 1: think that exists in college football right now. And then

1348
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:20,599
Speaker 1: they went back home and he saw a lesser than version.

1349
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:22,800
Speaker 1: And it's certainly lesser than what they've had there in

1350
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:27,840
Speaker 1: the past. Now, I'm all for ticket holders doing whatever

1351
01:09:27,840 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 1: they want to do, but Georgia folks know, Georgia folks

1352
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 1: know there was a different hunger in your gut when

1353
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 1: you walked in that stadium in twenty seventeen or eighteen

1354
01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:38,639
Speaker 1: than there is right now against the team that you're

1355
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:41,960
Speaker 1: favored by over three touchdowns. Against its human nature. I'm

1356
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:43,920
Speaker 1: not blaming you. It's human. That's the way it is.

1357
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:46,600
Speaker 1: By the way, check back when they played Tennessee in

1358
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:49,559
Speaker 1: a few weeks. If Tennessee's still on the same level

1359
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:51,800
Speaker 1: they are right now, probably sounds a little different in

1360
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 1: a few weeks when they play them there. But there

1361
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:57,080
Speaker 1: is a thing that happens when you're dominant for a

1362
01:09:57,120 --> 01:10:01,640
Speaker 1: long time, and that is complacency. You're fighting it like

1363
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:06,000
Speaker 1: you're fighting it as a football program, and fans don't

1364
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 1: have to fight it as much because they're not being

1365
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 1: graded like you are. But make no mistake, when you're

1366
01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:15,519
Speaker 1: expected to win every game significantly, you do not feel

1367
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:18,479
Speaker 1: threatened very often when you walk in Sanford Stadium and

1368
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:20,599
Speaker 1: go sit in section whatever you sit in. And that's

1369
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:23,640
Speaker 1: just the way it is. And it'll always happen that

1370
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:26,880
Speaker 1: right there, what he's talking about. It happened with saving

1371
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:29,640
Speaker 1: at Bama and he started having to complain about it.

1372
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:33,080
Speaker 1: It would happen to anyone. There is no university. I

1373
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 1: don't care what the most rabid fan base in the

1374
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:38,040
Speaker 1: world you think exists. If you go there and you

1375
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:40,479
Speaker 1: win for a sustained period of time, there would be

1376
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:44,000
Speaker 1: complacency that sets in amongst the fan base. It's a

1377
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:47,160
Speaker 1: great thing. It's not fun to deal with, but it

1378
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 1: is a great thing. So there's no real blame to

1379
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:51,719
Speaker 1: go around. If you want to blame someone, blame Kirby

1380
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:54,120
Speaker 1: for winning too much, I guess. But I found that

1381
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 1: funny because I had more people ask me about that

1382
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:59,120
Speaker 1: than asked about the game. We'll talk about whatever you

1383
01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 1: want to talk about. George just got the third best

1384
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:03,720
Speaker 1: odds to win the SEC right now, and they still

1385
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:07,160
Speaker 1: have plenty of football left to play. I saw some

1386
01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:09,000
Speaker 1: things in a couple other games I wanted to point

1387
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:11,200
Speaker 1: out here quickly, and I got you two best bets,

1388
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:13,280
Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna I'm gonna pick several bones with

1389
01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 1: the eight people. Someone's got to say it. I will

1390
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:19,880
Speaker 1: Old Miss took care of South Carolina yesterday, twenty seven

1391
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 1: to three October. I don't want to say Coctober is over.

1392
01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:26,520
Speaker 1: It s a long way to go. This was disappointing.

1393
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 1: South Carolina came out of a bye here, and you

1394
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:32,320
Speaker 1: found out what risk reward means, because it got bad,

1395
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:34,160
Speaker 1: and it got bad in a hurry for them. They

1396
01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:36,160
Speaker 1: forced three and out. I mean, Old Miss goes three

1397
01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:38,440
Speaker 1: and out to start the game, and in South Carolina,

1398
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:40,880
Speaker 1: I think on their own thirty one or something like that,

1399
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 1: fakes a punt and it doesn't work, and Old Miss scores,

1400
01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:47,840
Speaker 1: and then South Carolina fumbles and Old Miss scores again

1401
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:50,920
Speaker 1: and they're up too touchdowns and it's over. That's it,

1402
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:53,920
Speaker 1: it's over. You just got like blitz creakeed right out

1403
01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:56,600
Speaker 1: of the gate and it's done. The rest of the

1404
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:59,840
Speaker 1: afternoon was what it was. Not much more to take

1405
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 1: away from the game. Good for Old Miss. They had

1406
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 1: to have this win. Just because they got it comfortably

1407
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:07,920
Speaker 1: doesn't change the fact that it's very impressive that they

1408
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:10,840
Speaker 1: went on the road and must win mode and they won.

1409
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 1: They won convincingly. So did Iowa State. You know, while

1410
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:19,080
Speaker 1: giants were falling all over the place yesterday, my boys

1411
01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:21,719
Speaker 1: just took care of business. Oh it's just Baylor, Josh,

1412
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 1: it's just Baylor. Don't be throwing that in my face.

1413
01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:27,400
Speaker 1: When Bama's losing to Vanderbilt. It matters it's a conference game.

1414
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 1: Dave Randa that they had him early, they thought they

1415
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 1: had him early, and then we got the block punt

1416
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 1: there and it's nineteen to twelve. Iowa State ends up

1417
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 1: rattling off twenty four unanswered to close the game two

1418
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:42,759
Speaker 1: sixty five to seventy nine rushing advantage. There's your paper

1419
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:47,360
Speaker 1: popper of a padlock stat and now Iowa State. I

1420
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:50,000
Speaker 1: don't want to break news here, but I will because

1421
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:51,599
Speaker 1: some of you have been at church all day, you've

1422
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:54,120
Speaker 1: been at family reunion or whatever. You just woke up.

1423
01:12:55,840 --> 01:13:00,280
Speaker 1: That sound is Iowa State knocking on the door of

1424
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:03,880
Speaker 1: the top ten of the AP pole JP pole to

1425
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:07,720
Speaker 1: be determined. Next up. Penn State favored by twenty seven

1426
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:09,479
Speaker 1: and a half, right, Jesse, was it twenty six and

1427
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:11,920
Speaker 1: a half or twenty seven and a half? Twenty seven

1428
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 1: and a half, okay, So they scored twenty seven and

1429
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:17,280
Speaker 1: UCLA scored eleven, so they didn't cover. Nick Singleton was

1430
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:20,439
Speaker 1: out in this game. And Penn State's offense not really

1431
01:13:20,479 --> 01:13:25,000
Speaker 1: explosive games, never in doubt, so there was never a

1432
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:28,439
Speaker 1: chew the fingernails moment here, but it took. It took

1433
01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 1: UCLA sixteen plays to score and nearly eight minutes to

1434
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:35,360
Speaker 1: score in the fourth quarter, like when they should be

1435
01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:37,840
Speaker 1: in a hurry up mode. Penn State played the most

1436
01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:40,600
Speaker 1: ben but don't break style imaginable and just had a

1437
01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:43,920
Speaker 1: clip off three or four at a time, sixteen play

1438
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 1: drive down multiple possessions. I don't know how Penn State

1439
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,639
Speaker 1: folks feel about this, but you guys have watched every

1440
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:55,839
Speaker 1: snap of your team this year. Nick Singleton didn't play yesterday.

1441
01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:01,320
Speaker 1: They've kind of gone with a rotation at tailbag him

1442
01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:04,160
Speaker 1: and K Tron Allen, and they've sort of split the workload.

1443
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:07,839
Speaker 1: And my guess, having not talked to anyone on that staff,

1444
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:12,120
Speaker 1: my guess is that's by design because they know that

1445
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:15,439
Speaker 1: the meat of conference play is coming up. I think

1446
01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:19,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna heavily lean on Nick Singleton. I think that

1447
01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:25,680
Speaker 1: play calling distribution, or the total workload in that tailback room,

1448
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:27,719
Speaker 1: I think it'll shift pretty heavily towards him in big games.

1449
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 1: Florida totally quiet yesterday, just took care of business. Twenty

1450
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:33,559
Speaker 1: four to thirteen line made no sense to me. We

1451
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:35,880
Speaker 1: made it one of our best bets. Florida never should

1452
01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:37,800
Speaker 1: have been an underdog in this game. They got the

1453
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:42,120
Speaker 1: better roster, they were rested, they were at home, and

1454
01:14:42,160 --> 01:14:43,719
Speaker 1: they were a two and a half point dog. Made

1455
01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:46,000
Speaker 1: no sense. They held uc after twenty nine yards rushing

1456
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:49,640
Speaker 1: in the first half. The stat that's ballgame. I mean

1457
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 1: they did. Florida did hardly anything in the second half,

1458
01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 1: didn't need to. They are already twenty four on the board,

1459
01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:59,960
Speaker 1: and now they're at Tennessee Saturday, sixteen and a half

1460
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:05,160
Speaker 1: when underdug at Tennessee Saturday. So there's your shot. If

1461
01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:08,160
Speaker 1: you're billion napier, if you're that staff, if you're looking

1462
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:12,280
Speaker 1: to salvage and then resurrect and save, and that's your shot.

1463
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:16,679
Speaker 1: That's is it fair? Uh? Yeah, it's fair to expect

1464
01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:20,040
Speaker 1: you to be competitive with and maybe beat Tennessee in

1465
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:23,200
Speaker 1: year three. Yes, that's fair. The odds makers are only

1466
01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:25,639
Speaker 1: saying what they're saying because you've underachieved to this point.

1467
01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:29,080
Speaker 1: So that's irrelevant. Like, go win the game, you want

1468
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:31,200
Speaker 1: to turn things around, you want to restart your season.

1469
01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:35,680
Speaker 1: Good job against UCF. You go beat Tennessee and it

1470
01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:38,000
Speaker 1: feels like you've been shot out of a cannon coming

1471
01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:39,519
Speaker 1: out of that by week a couple of weeks ago.

1472
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:42,240
Speaker 1: So it's still there. It's still there to be done.

1473
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:47,000
Speaker 1: SMU with a big win yesterday. They beat Louisville thirty

1474
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:49,920
Speaker 1: four to twenty seven, and Preston Stone was the starting

1475
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:51,680
Speaker 1: quarterback for SMU at the beginning of the year and

1476
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 1: they benched him. And Kevin Jennings has kind of lit

1477
01:15:57,040 --> 01:15:59,559
Speaker 1: the world on fire for him to eighty one passing,

1478
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:04,040
Speaker 1: one thirteen rushing yesterday. The defense is letting Louisville down.

1479
01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:07,240
Speaker 1: It's been a big disappointment for me. I expected a

1480
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:09,280
Speaker 1: little bit more. This was one of our best bets, Like,

1481
01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 1: we loved Louisville in this game, and they didn't cover

1482
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:15,799
Speaker 1: and they didn't win. And so apologies to RHT Lashley

1483
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:20,240
Speaker 1: in company for betting against them. Lesson learned. SMU schedule

1484
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:24,840
Speaker 1: is on the screen right now. They have a very

1485
01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:28,920
Speaker 1: weird situation here where they are going to Stanford now.

1486
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:30,479
Speaker 1: They got a bye week now, but they're going to

1487
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:34,240
Speaker 1: Stanford and then to Duke in back to back weeks.

1488
01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 1: Really really bizarre travel situation. But they also have a

1489
01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:42,560
Speaker 1: path here that's very workable. They got a shot to

1490
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:44,160
Speaker 1: win every one of these games, but they could also

1491
01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:46,120
Speaker 1: lose three of them, which we see a lot in

1492
01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:49,840
Speaker 1: college football right now. But there are your acc standings,

1493
01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 1: all right, So there is there is a clear one

1494
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:55,960
Speaker 1: to two like you got Clemson Miami, but a lot

1495
01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:58,960
Speaker 1: of other teams are in it. Speaking of Clemson, I

1496
01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:03,040
Speaker 1: rolled the dice yesterday. I thought brock Glenn gets the

1497
01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:06,400
Speaker 1: start at quarterback for Florida State. They can't be any worse.

1498
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:10,000
Speaker 1: And Clemsons looked great. So like they're hyped as much

1499
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:11,640
Speaker 1: as they can be, and people are as low as

1500
01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 1: Florida State as they can be, and Florida State's getting

1501
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:16,479
Speaker 1: fourteen and a half or more at home. I'm gonna

1502
01:17:16,479 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 1: take a chance the model like Florida State. I'm gonna

1503
01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:21,160
Speaker 1: roll the dice, and you know what, Hats off to

1504
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:24,360
Speaker 1: brock Glenn. They lost twenty nine to thirteen. They didn't cover.

1505
01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 1: Hats off to brock Glen getting his first start this

1506
01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 1: year for Florida State. I thought he played really, really hard,

1507
01:17:32,040 --> 01:17:34,880
Speaker 1: like played good enough for them to be in that game.

1508
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:39,960
Speaker 1: Florida State's receivers are horrible, like Florida State's receivers actively

1509
01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 1: fight the football in the air when it's thrown to him.

1510
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 1: Brock Glenn, like if I were Jim Naggy and I

1511
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:48,040
Speaker 1: were doing his scouting profile, I would say Brock Glenn

1512
01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 1: throws a fightable ball, because that's all Florida State's receivers do.

1513
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:54,200
Speaker 1: They fight that thing, they bat it down. They do

1514
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:57,800
Speaker 1: everything but form catch a football. It's like watching middle

1515
01:17:57,840 --> 01:18:02,040
Speaker 1: school football players going through fundamentals the first two weeks

1516
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:06,519
Speaker 1: of fall camp. Mind boggling. Anyway, that's why they're bad.

1517
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:09,479
Speaker 1: And so we picked Florida State and took the points

1518
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:12,880
Speaker 1: and Dabo beat us Man Dabokade Clubnick. They went on

1519
01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 1: the road, they ran for two sixty five, they held

1520
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:19,519
Speaker 1: FSU to twenty two. And if I sound bitter, it's

1521
01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:21,479
Speaker 1: not because I'm sitting here rooting against Clemson. It's just

1522
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:24,080
Speaker 1: cause I thought we were gonna have a shot there.

1523
01:18:24,120 --> 01:18:26,280
Speaker 1: Clemson was gonna win the game, but I thought we

1524
01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:28,800
Speaker 1: were gonna have a shot, and then they boom. They

1525
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:30,680
Speaker 1: did what Clemson does and they've done it for a

1526
01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:33,400
Speaker 1: long time. I am ready to say at the moment

1527
01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:37,559
Speaker 1: that I think Clemson is the class of the ACC

1528
01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:40,720
Speaker 1: at the moment, but Miami would probably be favored over him,

1529
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:42,800
Speaker 1: and I think the model would favor Miami over him.

1530
01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:45,439
Speaker 1: I'd pick Clemson if they played Miami right now, I'll

1531
01:18:45,439 --> 01:18:47,800
Speaker 1: say that if no one else will, Miami's got the

1532
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:50,280
Speaker 1: best odds to win the conference right now. Clemson's got

1533
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 1: the second best odds to win the conference. And then

1534
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:54,960
Speaker 1: there's a gap, and then there's SMU and then there's

1535
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 1: a big gap in the rest of the way. Could

1536
01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:01,120
Speaker 1: be controversial, but I'm just going my ies. See right now,

1537
01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 1: Clemson is playing a pretty good ball. All these odds

1538
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 1: right now we're showing you courtesy of FanDuel. It's the

1541
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:15,840
Speaker 1: know if people have been keeping track of this, and

1542
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:20,040
Speaker 1: you shouldn't, because we don't really have best bets around here.

1543
01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:22,200
Speaker 1: We bet all of them equally. But the number that

1544
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:24,400
Speaker 1: we've been handing out on the Sunday Night show is

1545
01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:27,240
Speaker 1: like five and one or something like that. So I'm

1546
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:29,920
Speaker 1: going to hand out two of them tonight. I mean,

1547
01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:32,360
Speaker 1: we took what Wake plus five and a half last week?

1548
01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:36,600
Speaker 1: They won out right. I love LSU. This week, I

1549
01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:38,240
Speaker 1: just got to tell you, I can't believe we're getting

1550
01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 1: three and a half points. LSU plays Old Miss Saturday,

1551
01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:44,120
Speaker 1: Love LSU in the spot. I will explain more during

1552
01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:46,040
Speaker 1: the week Love LSU plus three and a half and

1553
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:49,120
Speaker 1: also Love Ohio against Central Michigan and they were laying

1554
01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:50,719
Speaker 1: two and a half right now. Both of these numbers

1555

1573
01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:07,120
Speaker 1: attention to the AP pole today? The AP Poles Week

1574
01:21:07,240 --> 01:21:11,720
Speaker 1: seven edition has dropped, and there's some stuff here that

1575
01:21:11,760 --> 01:21:14,719
Speaker 1: cannot be explained. Maybe not at the top. So Texas

1576
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:16,880
Speaker 1: is your new number one team in the country. Great

1577
01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:19,080
Speaker 1: Bama was there. They're not there anymore. They shouldn't be.

1578
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:22,400
Speaker 1: Ohio State's two, Oregon three, Penn State four, Georgia five.

1579
01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:26,320
Speaker 1: Penn State's a big conflict team right now because I

1580
01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:28,200
Speaker 1: can tell you, like the JP Pole will not have

1581
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:31,360
Speaker 1: Penn State in the top five. But I don't have

1582
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:34,160
Speaker 1: a problem with them being there because if we're judging

1583
01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:36,800
Speaker 1: based on merit, Penn State has done enough to be there.

1584
01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:40,040
Speaker 1: But Penn State, like I got them down near the

1585
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:44,000
Speaker 1: ten range. I think this is before final calibration tomorrow.

1586
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:48,320
Speaker 1: Will run a final final model refreshed tomorrow. So tentatively

1587
01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:51,320
Speaker 1: they're down there around ten or eleven. And that's the

1588
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:54,960
Speaker 1: difference in merit versus neutral fiel favorability. Go through SCO

1589
01:21:55,080 --> 01:22:01,439
Speaker 1: six through ten. Here, colin Miami is six, Bama dropped

1590
01:22:01,479 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 1: six spots there at seven, Tennessees at eight, Ole Miss nine,

1591
01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:06,120
Speaker 1: Clemson ten. I agree on Clemson. I think they should

1592
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:09,200
Speaker 1: be a top ten team. We already had Georgia ahead

1593
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:13,040
Speaker 1: of Alabama in the jpeople. We never put Bama ahead

1594
01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:15,280
Speaker 1: of Georgia because we knew that still be favored on

1595
01:22:15,320 --> 01:22:16,800
Speaker 1: the neutral field. Now, if I were feeling out the

1596
01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:19,640
Speaker 1: AP ballot, I probably would have had Bama ahead of Georgia.

1597
01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:23,200
Speaker 1: But a lot of times what we will find in

1598
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:26,679
Speaker 1: the AP is it will adjust and end up meeting

1599
01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:30,200
Speaker 1: what the JP pole already had. I'm not arguing that

1600
01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:33,240
Speaker 1: the AP should operate the same way as the JP pole.

1601
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:37,920
Speaker 1: I'm just saying we are previewing the AP pole basically

1602
01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:41,160
Speaker 1: two weeks ahead of them at every turn eleven through fifteen.

1603
01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:45,240
Speaker 1: Now this is where it gets interesting. Iowa State is

1604
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:49,800
Speaker 1: tied for eleven right now. I want them to be this.

1605
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:52,320
Speaker 1: I am not going to have Iowa State that high

1606
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:54,920
Speaker 1: this week. I can almost assure you of that. In

1607
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:58,840
Speaker 1: a power rating format, Iowa State, we had them what

1608
01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:02,080
Speaker 1: Jesse like fifteenth last week or something like that. Iowa

1609
01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:06,040
Speaker 1: State has probably come close to hitting their ceiling in

1610
01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:08,599
Speaker 1: terms of how high they could climb in a power

1611
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:10,800
Speaker 1: rating format, meaning who they'd be favored against on a

1612
01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:14,519
Speaker 1: neutral field. Now that doesn't mean anything because Washington maxed

1613
01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:17,639
Speaker 1: out at like nine last year and ended up playing

1614
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:21,559
Speaker 1: for a national title. So I was taking climb in

1615
01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:24,040
Speaker 1: AP world probably a lot higher than they can in

1616
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 1: the JPE pole. Notre Dame is sitting there at eleven,

1617
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:30,439
Speaker 1: and they got an interesting game coming up this week.

1618
01:23:30,680 --> 01:23:34,400
Speaker 1: Brigham Young's at fourteen, huge conflict team. We still don't

1619
01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:36,800
Speaker 1: have them top twenty five in the model. Got no

1620
01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:39,120
Speaker 1: problem with five and oh Brigham Young being ranked, but

1621
01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:41,960
Speaker 1: power rating wise, we still don't have them there. And

1622
01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:44,600
Speaker 1: welcome back to Texas A and M. Texas A and

1623
01:23:44,720 --> 01:23:48,160
Speaker 1: M smokes Missouri yesterday. So the AP has them at fifteen. Well,

1624
01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:50,200
Speaker 1: we already had them there, and we had them above

1625
01:23:50,200 --> 01:23:51,920
Speaker 1: Missouri last week like we thought A and M was

1626
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:57,320
Speaker 1: already better than Missouri, and that's been validating. Sixteen. Utah,

1627
01:23:57,400 --> 01:24:01,040
Speaker 1: no problem with it, seventeen, Boise little high, but I

1628
01:24:01,080 --> 01:24:04,439
Speaker 1: got no problem with it. Indiana is at eighteen, fine

1629
01:24:04,479 --> 01:24:08,960
Speaker 1: with it, Oklahoma eighteen. Kansas State tied for eighteenth Kansas

1630
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 1: State's a little low. That's another conflict team for me.

1631
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:13,320
Speaker 1: I think that they are a I think we got

1632
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 1: them thirteen or twelve somewhere up there, really good team

1633
01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:20,000
Speaker 1: trending right direction twenty one through twenty five. This is

1634
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:22,400
Speaker 1: where we got bones to pick. I mean, Missouri is

1635
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:25,479
Speaker 1: at twenty one right now. There is no way what

1636
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:28,320
Speaker 1: are we doing. What you're doing is you had a

1637
01:24:28,360 --> 01:24:31,519
Speaker 1: fraudulent team in the top ten and you can't find it.

1638
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:34,759
Speaker 1: You can't bring yourself to drop someone fifteen spots. Missouri's

1639
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:39,400
Speaker 1: got no business at twenty one right now, Like what

1640
01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:42,320
Speaker 1: more do you need to see? So that's a major

1641
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:46,400
Speaker 1: conflict team. Pitt at twenty two is a major conflict team.

1642
01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:48,280
Speaker 1: Although you guys may end up being right about them,

1643
01:24:48,560 --> 01:24:50,519
Speaker 1: cause you got them at twenty two and I still

1644
01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:54,120
Speaker 1: got them outside the top thirty. They're five and zero.

1645
01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:58,360
Speaker 1: They have won a bunch of games close. And what

1646
01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 1: we're trying to do in a power rating is we're

1647
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:02,559
Speaker 1: trying to do predictability. We're trying to look down the road.

1648
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:05,120
Speaker 1: You're rewarding for what already has been done. So that's

1649
01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:08,240
Speaker 1: why they're a top twenty five team. But that pit example,

1650
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:10,559
Speaker 1: that's going to be like a blinking red light the

1651
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:13,480
Speaker 1: rest of the way. I think between AP and jpeople

1652
01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:15,760
Speaker 1: Illinois a little too high at twenty three. I think

1653
01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:21,960
Speaker 1: Michigan is still ranked because they're Michigan. We didn't have

1654
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:24,280
Speaker 1: Michigan top twenty five last week. We already had them out.

1655
01:25:24,439 --> 01:25:26,439
Speaker 1: They certainly should be out now. They're not one of

1656
01:25:26,479 --> 01:25:29,759
Speaker 1: the twenty five best teams in the country. I probably

1657
01:25:29,800 --> 01:25:32,080
Speaker 1: am going to have them somewhere twenty seven to thirty

1658
01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:36,120
Speaker 1: something like that. I do. I do realize that a

1659
01:25:36,160 --> 01:25:37,880
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, I said I thought Michigan had

1660
01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:41,479
Speaker 1: probably bottomed out and they were twenty third. They probably

1661
01:25:41,479 --> 01:25:43,240
Speaker 1: can bottom out at like thirty or something like that.

1662
01:25:43,280 --> 01:25:45,760
Speaker 1: They probably had a little further down they could drop

1663
01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:48,040
Speaker 1: than I thought. The floor was a little lower on

1664
01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:51,599
Speaker 1: them than I thought. SMU's twenty five this week, and

1665
01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:54,120
Speaker 1: I agree, I think we'll have SMU just inside the

1666
01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:57,559
Speaker 1: JP pole top twenty five. But I mean Missouri is sitting

1667
01:25:57,520 --> 01:26:04,519
Speaker 1: there still ranked. Why Michigan still ranked? Why don't be scared.

1668
