Speaker 1: name is Ty Hildebrand, joining me as always from over

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: there in New York City. My good friend Dan Rubinstein,

21
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: Sir how are you?

22
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: Life is grand, Tye, life is wonderful. How are you doing?

23
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: I am doing well. What are we doing tonight? Why

24
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: do we both have this like shot of life in

25
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:31,559
Speaker 1: us tonight?

26
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: Oh, narcotics. I have agreed sure to heavily invest in enthusiasm. No,

27
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: it is the beginning of our season preview series. We

28
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: are starting earlier because we are doing more of them.

29
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: We assume because people are listening to a college football show.

30
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: To maximize the amount of college football would be a

31
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: wise thing. So we are. We're quite excited. We are

32
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: going to do divisional previews, but we're gonna hop around

33
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: so tonight. As you know, because you've downloaded the episode

34
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: and you've seen the title and you're an enthusiastic listener

35
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: and verbaler who has hopefully, if interested in has the

36
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: discretionary income, purchased a shirt to help support the show.

37
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: We are doing the ac C Atlantic Atlantic.

38
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: They listen, pause for a second. Can we invent some

39
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: sort of mnemonic device? Yeah, to help us keep the

40
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: two divisions of the ACC Street.

41
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 2: I would say just ACC Fatlantic because they're fat with

42
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 2: talent with Clemson and Florida State Fatlantic. The Fatlantic. They're

43
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: they're obese with blue chips, Fatlantic, Fatlantic. Don't. That's as

44
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: good as I can do off the cuff tie. This

45
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: is not my thing, but this is the good news.

46
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: We are not restricting ourselves to just the ACC Fatlantic.

47
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 2: We are also doing the American West, which coincidentally features

48
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: no teams.

49
00:02:59,440 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: Right.

50
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 2: Well, now it's in the American West.

51
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: So we've got the AAC West ACC Fatlantic, Yeah, and

52
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: then the AAC West.

53
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 2: Correct.

54
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: We all starts of confusion going on here this evening.

55
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: I don't have a device for that other than Ed

56
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 2: Oliver is here for precisely four more months, and we

57
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: should celebrate that division because he is in it.

58
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you for stopping on by. We're

59
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: gonna try throughout the course of this show. At least

00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: I am to try and come up with a better

00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: We're talking about We're talking about football here, We're not

77
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,000

105
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: sort of a scripty design. When we were going through it,

106
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 2: there was like a Sonics vibe to it.

107
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little bit, a little bit of a Sonics vibe.

113
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:06,479

00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,120

00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 2: be available.

119
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: Once they hit that time limit, they'll be officially off

120
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: the market for some period of time, yep. And then

121
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna roll some new ones out there. Yes, I'm

122
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: keep rolling some new stuff out there. We're very excited

123
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: about the coming days and weeks at least on the

124
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: shirt store front. And finally, before we go any further,

125
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: we do need to mention that we believe we've secured

126
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: a venue for the live show.

127
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: We do believe we are. We have agreed. The big

128
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: hold up with tickets is not really anyone's fault. It's

129
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 2: more we're not controlled. The venue is controlling the ticketing,

130
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 2: that's right, So it's not necessarily our speed. We would

131
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 2: have liked to have started selling, liked to have started

132
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: selling these a couple of weeks ago, but you know,

133
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: we really want the experience to be great, so we're

134
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 2: upping the venue type. That's right. We've been in the past,

135
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: so we're grown up.

136
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: So we're classing it up a little bit here for

137
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: a very regal occasion. As we've said time and time again,

138
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: should we dress up, it's going to be real growth.

139
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: But we can change there. We could think about it,

140
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: we could talk more about this. Yes, maybe we can

141
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: use one of the social media channels to pull the

142
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: general public. But the Fantasy Things Draft, the Live Fantasy

143
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: Things Draft, we've got all sorts of fun tricks in

144
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: the queue for that.

145
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: Again.

146
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: August the eleventh, in Chicago, a currently unnamed venue but

147
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: soon to be revealed, we will be selling tickets. Please

148
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: stay tuned first and foremost to our newsletter. We will

149
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: publish the link there first.

150
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: Yes, it is August eleventh, which is Saturday, so you know,

151
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: some people coming from outside of Chicago might be easier

152
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 2: to get to on a Saturday rather than a Thursday

153
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: or Friday night, and tentatively seven to nine pm. Just

154
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 2: as for timing, in the back of your head, if

155
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: you plan on getting a ticket and coming, and we

156
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 2: anticipate selling out pretty quickly, the good news is after

157
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: the show, we plan on going to and announcing, you know,

158
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 2: on this show online whatever, We're going to go to

159
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 2: a bar and hang out even further. Because if there's

160
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 2: one thing we believe in, it's we really like hanging

161
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: with people who listen to the show totally. So that

162
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: will be you know, we will publicize wherever we're we

163
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 2: figure out where we're going to go. So that's the

164
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 2: plan Saturday, August eleventh, Chicago, seven to nine pm with

165
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 2: a an after bar situation because tynite we get hungry. Yeah, man,

166
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: we get hungry talking.

167
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: From Yeah we did. We did last time, very very

168
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: famished after our live show in Atlanta, Okaya. With all

169
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: that out of the way, let's talk about the a

170
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: CC Fat Atlantic, Daniel Fatlantic. We're also trying something new.

171
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: We're not just previewing divisions this time around. We also

172
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: looked at this very realistically. Okay, you and I were

173
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: both married, we're both in our in our thirties. I

174
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: suspect a lot of other folks listening around the country

175
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: and world are in a very similar position. The lead

176
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: Busy lives right. The question is, if you're a big

177
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: ten fan, why the hell should you care about the

178
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: ACC FA Atlantic? Why should Why should you care?

179
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 2: Right, it's a good question.

180
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: We kick that around World Cup style, you know, we

181
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: raced to the corner. We kind of kicked it around

182
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: and before kicking it out of bounds to waste a

183
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: little more time, we said, yeah, we kind of like

184
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: that theme. Dan, Why should you care? Is what we're

185
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: going for here.

186
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, odds are if you're listening to this show, you

187
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 2: are not an ACC Atlantic fan because there's so much

188
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: beyond the ACC Atlantic. But we are here to let

189
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: you know that college football is an excellent TV show

190
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 2: and it just has a ton of characters that are

191
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 2: worth diving into their backstory. So that's why we are

192
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 2: trying to figure out essentially the care factor for the

193
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 2: ACC Atlantic and for individual teams and storylines. And we

194
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: will do the same for the American the American Athletic Conference,

195
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 2: just the American West tig.

196
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: That's right on that note, Let's talk about your A

197
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: C C Atlantic and let's start at the very top

198
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: with the Clemson Tigers. Dan, they went eleven to one

199
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: last year in the regular season, they won the ACC,

200
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: they qualified for the playoff. Couldn't move the ball against

201
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: Alabama in the first round of the College Football Playoff.

202
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: They lost twenty four to six if memory serves, and

203
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: their season finished up at twelve and two. All things

204
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: being equal, that's pretty damn good year, is it not.

205
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: Oh, it's excellence. It's another year of Clemson excellence. And

206
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: on top of everything, it is worth noting that they're

207
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: attrition aside from quarterback, you know, losing Hunter Johnson Northwestern,

208
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 2: but the attrition within the program, coaches, support staff has

209
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 2: been so minimal and it has to be considered a

210
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 2: huge factor in not just attracting talent, but as we've

211
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 2: seen with this defensive line, keeping talent comfortable.

212
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: They're like the Western Conference of the NBA. But yeah,

213
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: all on one team.

214
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 2: Basically, what's worth caring about with Clemson is on the surface,

215
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: it's pretty obvious they're stacked everywhere. It's defensive line porn.

216
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 2: You know, we have Trevor Lawrence coming in as a

217
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: true freshman and everybody raving about his ceiling. I think

218
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 2: justifiably so inasmuch as we can determine in an off

219
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 2: season without actual live football, but clearly there is there

220
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: is some nugget of potential that is pretty tantalizing with

221
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 2: him and Kelly Bryant certainly had a pretty terrific year

222
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 2: for a first year quarterback, gets beat up, struggles mightily

223
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 2: against Alabama, which leads to this sort of window for

224
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence, the incoming or he's already there, the five

225
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 2: star true freshman quarterback. They have that fun early road test,

226
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 2: going to Kyle Field to play texts A and M.

227
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: And if that all doesn't excite you, you always will

228
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 2: have Florida State Clemson to look forward to. And this

229
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 2: will be This Florida State Clemson game will be the

230
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 2: first and it's in Tallahassee. It's a week after NC

231
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: State measuring stick for Willy Taggart. It's not a measuring

232
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: stick anymore at this point with what Conson has accomplished

233
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 2: for the Tigers, but for Florida State, this is the

234
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: first big Willy Taggart Power five moment. Consider the injuries

235
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 2: he had last year at Oregon and this is not

236
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 2: his team. And we'll get to Florida State momentarily, but

237
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: there's a ton to care about and I will turn

238
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: it over to you Ty. With this schedule, which is tricky.

239
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 2: At A and M, they go to Georgia Tech to

240
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 2: Florida State. They have an NC State team with a

241
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 2: really good quarterback. Do you think if the quarterback is

242
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 2: merely pretty good, which I think is a pretty high

243
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 2: floor for Clemson, is that good enough to get to

244
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 2: the playoff without great quarterback play.

245
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely, this is a better team than last year. And

246
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: that's saying something. We just went through the full gamut

247
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: of how they went twelve and two. They've got most

248
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: of their team back, especially on defense, and you mentioned

249
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: Kelly Bryant. He got them there last year. But yet

250
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: I went I posted a picture last night on the

251
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: Instagram account. I picked up Phil Steele's magazine, right, you

252
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: remember Phil Steele, the Real Steele Dossier of college football.

253
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: He's got true freshman Trevor Lawrence as his projected starter.

254
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: I am fascinated because it's not just the Phil Steele

255
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: magazine where I've seen this. I've seen this in a

256
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: bunch of places, just outwardly projecting Trevor Lawrence probably going

257
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: to be starting quarterback at some point before the end

258
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: of the season. It's almost as if nobody wants Kelly

259
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 1: Bryant to be the starting quarterback, and yet he had

260
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: a pretty good year. He did stumble a bit down

261
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: the stretch, but again, a pretty good season got Clemson

262
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: to the College Football Playoff. He clearly did something right,

263
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: yet no one seems to want to give him the

264
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: nod here and that interests me. That makes me very interesting.

265
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: I care a little bit more about Clemson because there's

266
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: a guy who got him to incredible heights last year

267
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: and yet no one's giving him benefit of the doubts.

268
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: So better team than last year. That's one reason to care.

269
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: Second reason to care is the whole Kelly Bryant thing,

270
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: which I find terribly fascinating. And then the third for

271
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: me is the defensive line porn which you reference earlier.

272
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: We'll play that again. Cleveland Farrell, who we mentioned in

273
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: an earlier podcast episode, and Austin Bryant, both of them

274
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: manning their respective side of the defensive line, and then

275
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: Dexter Lawrence and Christian will Bans back in the middle

276
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: to sort of firm up the CD underbelly of what

277
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: is clearly the best defensive line in the country. Yeah,

278
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot of reason they're to be very excited

279
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: about Clemson. And oh, by the way, Dan, the schedule

280
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: does not scare me at all. It just it. This

281
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: is why my answer maybe was off hand to your

282
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: question of, well, if they get respectable quarterback plays, it

283
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: enough to get them back to where they were. The

284
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: early game against A and M will probably tell us

285
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: more about A and M than Clemson. I'm just not

286
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: worried about that game at all. The two games that

287
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: I think you watch. You mentioned the Florida State one.

288
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: I think you're right, it probably says more about Florida

289
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: State than it does Clemson. But it is on the road.

290
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: It is Halloween weekend in Tallahassee. The road team in

291
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: that series is just three and thirteen since two thousand

292
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: and two, for whatever that's worth. The other one is

293
00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: at Boston College on November tenth. Clemson's slipped walked, slipped

294
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: walked the last time they went to Chestnut Hill, and

295
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: I think it's an interesting matchup because Boston College is

296
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: maybe the best offensive line in the conference, Clemson the

297
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: defensive line in the conference. But otherwise it sets up

298
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: perfectly for Clemson again in twenty eighteen. They've got so

299
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: much working for them, and they are, quite frankly, a

300
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: lot of reasons to care.

301
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: So interestingly, I think Trevor Lawrence is in a similar situation,

302
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 2: maybe as JT. Daniels like. He may not start right away,

303
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 2: but by I don't know, wake in early October could

304
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 2: be starting and playing different series. If he is starting

305
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 2: at texts A and M, that becomes trickier to me.

306
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 2: That is still a tough place to play. Nobody really

307
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 2: knows what this text A and M defense is going

308
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: to look like. Immediately with Mike Elko, the offense is

309
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 2: going to look different. So there's a mystery factor with

310
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 2: a new true freshman quarterback that is a little bit worrisome.

311
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: Trip up point going not going too but hosting NC State,

312
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 2: and then the thing I would have circled, and this

313
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 2: is not we're not unretiring anything, but in terms of

314
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 2: trip up, losing at Syracuse, losing two pit the past

315
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: couple of years, teams Clemson probably shouldn't lose to teams

316
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 2: that you know Pitt was fine. Certainly a couple of

317
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: years ago they were. They were pretty good with James Connor.

318
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 2: I would circle going to Chestnut Hill. As you mentioned,

319
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: that's it's November ten. I don't listen. Clemson's favorite. They

320
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 2: should be favored, they should win but in terms of

321
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 2: trip up, you have NC State at Florida State Louisville,

322
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 2: which could be a shootouty type team. We'll get to

323
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 2: them before traveling to Boston. It'll be cold November tenth.

324
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. We could go to Boston

325
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: College next.

326
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 2: Let's go to Boston College.

327
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: Let's go to Boston College next.

328
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 2: That's the trip up point because they have South Carolina

329
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 2: at home a week after Duke and so everything is

330
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 2: it's a little even though we like South Carolina, we'll

331
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 2: get to that whenever it is that we do the

332
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 2: SEC East. That is my pick for a trip up.

333
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: See. I almost feel more confident in that Boston College

334
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: game as a trip up point than I do Florida State.

335
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 2: And I know that they're gonna take Florida's say very seriously.

336
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know that might defy logic, but again, last

337
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: time they were in Chestnut Hill, Clemson had some issues.

338
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: They ended up blowing them out, but had some issues

339
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: in that game. There is reason to be optimistic about

340
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: Boston College this year, and it wouldn't be the first

341
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: time that they took a team like Clemson too the wire.

342
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think they were just sort of ahead

343
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 2: by twenty one or something and took their foot off

344
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 2: the gas in Boston College score. You know it wasn't

345
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 2: there was no there was no fear. I don't think

346
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 2: from Clemson they're actually to lose that game.

347
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, so we got we got reason to be

348
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: very excited and care about Clemson. We agree, We absolutely agree.

349
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: I think they're poised for another run, not just the

350
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: ACC Fatlantic, not just the ACC Conference, but certainly look

351
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: a top five finish in the polls, probably a playoff

352
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: Berth if all goes according to the plan. Is a

353
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: very exciting season for the Tigers that we've got a foot.

354
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: Just on a personal level, I'm very excited to see

355
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: t Higgins and what he looks like out at wide receiver,

356
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: big target. If he gets more targets, let's see what

357
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: he can do. He averaged over twenty yards per catch

358
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: last year. Just throwing that out there.

359
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 2: I do have a good nickname for Hunter renfro Oh,

360
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 2: and that nickname is still there. Touchdown, still there.

361
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: Let's move on to Boston College as promised.

362
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 2: Can you give me a Clemson record regular season record

363
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 2: like before, a potential a SEC.

364
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: Championship, they're going undefeated.

365
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 2: Oh, I have him ten and two.

366
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: They're going undefeated this year.

367
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 2: Yep, okay, just agree two losses. Wow, yep, I have

368
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 2: a trip up and either South Carolina, Texas A and

369
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 2: m Florida State.

370
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: Go to Boston College. It went seven to five a

371
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: year ago. How is it that Boston College has the

372
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: same team every year? Have we thought about this at all?

373
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 2: Just a defense populated with eleven Harold landries every year.

374
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: It's like I was thinking about it a little bit,

375
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: you know, when you buy the new version of Madden

376
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: and like, oh, maybe it'll be this different this year. Nope,

377
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: not really. Kind of the same thing every year you

378
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: turn off the passing cone. Yep, same thing every year.

379
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: Boston College, to me, could be a five and seven team.

380
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: They could be a seven and five team. M hm,

381
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: depending on how things break. That being said, they might

382
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: be the most interesting team in the ACC all year.

383
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 2: Are you saying that because they play a pat League

384
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 2: team week two? Just have an extra little spice, like

385
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,719
Speaker 2: seasoning little spice on them. Yeah, they play Holy Cross.

386
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: It is a little bit of pezaz for sure.

387
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay, walk me through the variables between five and

388
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 2: seven and eight and four.

389
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: Well, so the offense last year was lousy but outside

390
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: but still better. Yeah, outside AJ Dillon, the offense was

391
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: lousy but still on the whole better than it was

392
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: the year prior in twenty sixteen. And so this year

393
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: they bring back ten starters, including their entire offensive line

394
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: and AJ Dillon who rushed for sixteen hundred yards and

395
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: fourteen touchdowns. They really truly should be better than they

396
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: were a year ago. The X factor, of course, being

397
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown a quarterback. If he can stay healthy, if

398
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: he can be a little bit more productive, it's easier

399
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: to buy into some of the thinking that Boston College

400
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: is not only going to be a seven win maybe

401
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: an eight win team, but also that they could trap

402
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: a team like Clemson. That makes it easier to buy into. Defensively,

403
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: they'll be fine because they're always fine on defense, right,

404
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: Like that's just what they do. They've got a good

405
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: defense every year, seemingly with one bona fide star this year,

406
00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: you're dood alert is going to be Zach your defensive end.

407
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 2: So nice to hear that, sound, ty, thank you, You're

408
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 2: very welcome.

409
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 1: He might be the only non Clemson defensive lineman to

410
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: achieve true accolades, a true spotlight because he is so

411
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: damn good Zach Allen along the defensive line, defensive end,

412
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: and I'm also interested. I think the big X factor,

413
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: the big variable for them is the second half of

414
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: the schedule because it's downright brutal. They've got a stretch

415
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: where they've got Miami at home, they go on the

416
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: road to Virginia Tech, Clemson at home, and then on

417
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: the road against Florida State. M hmm. There's a lot

418
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: going on here for Boston College, a lot of reason

419
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: to be I think somewhat caring about this season. Where

420
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: do you stand?

421
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 2: So they could start, they could be ranked by mid October.

422
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 2: So it's UMass holy Cross at Wake, at Purdue, Temple,

423
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 2: at NC State, and then Louisville. They beat Louisville. Last year.

424
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 2: AJ Dillon runs wild. They lose by three, a low

425
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 2: scoring game against end State Temple. I'm not super high

426
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 2: on Purdue can be run all over with a new

427
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 2: defense early on with AJ Dillon. Wake has a new

428
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 2: look defense and loses a bunch up front. And not

429
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 2: worried about you Mass holy Cross. So starting five and one,

430
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 2: six in one, if everything breaks right, in close games

431
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 2: is kind of not crazy with a solid defense, a

432
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 2: really good running game, and unfortunately a quarterback if you

433
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 2: only watched the Florida State game last year, quarterback needs

434
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 2: some work. That's the sort of big X factor at

435
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 2: this point. And you were right to sort of mention

436
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 2: the brutal back half of the season with Miami, Virginia Tech, Cleans,

437
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 2: and FSU before getting which should be a nice and

438
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 2: soft Syracuse defense late. I actually don't mind Syracuse defensive line.

439
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 2: We'll get there. But I think Boston College, if nothing else,

440
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 2: why you should care is because they were putrid. Wake

441
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 2: Forest was putrid. And as we look at the ACC

442
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 2: as a whole right now, and I did some of

443
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 2: this with the d analytics stuff and the points per

444
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 2: drive differential, whatever the case, the bottom of the ACC

445
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 2: is sort of garbage free. If we believe in North Carolina,

446
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 2: which we will eventually get to improving to at least

447
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 2: below average the bottom of the ACC, and Boston College

448
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 2: is squarely in the middle of the ACC. It's a

449
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 2: nice situation. It's a competitive conference, ty, That's what I'm

450
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,479
Speaker 2: trying to tell you right now. And the fact that

451
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 2: Boston College is a big reason for making that jump

452
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 2: and making it a competitive conference, perhaps the most competitive

453
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,719
Speaker 2: in the widest middle class of any conference is a

454
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 2: cool story that Steve Adazio has incrementally found the dudes

455
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 2: to get things like, there's nothing worse than rooting for

456
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 2: a team. Trust, I've rooted for a Brady hook defense.

457
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've done this.

458
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 2: This is something I've invested in that. And you can

459
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 2: be down on a number of factors about Boston College

460
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 2: just in terms of talent level and sealing whatever. This

461
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 2: is a competitive team and that's a great reason to

462
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 2: care that college football can afford us improvement, so that

463
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 2: if you are a fan of a team that has

464
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 2: disappointed you for a number of years, that there is hope. Tie.

465
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 2: And that's that's what's really cool about Boston College. They're

466
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 2: solid everywhere, they're not great anywhere specifically, and that'll make

467
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 2: for a fun season and they're going to scare the

468
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 2: living crap out of Clemson. Tie. I am ian.

469
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: Well, if you're so, okay, let's build on that. Okay,

470
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: if you're looking for a potential scare in the ACC

471
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 1: for Atlantic as we're now calling it, Yes, in November,

472
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: Boston College is a team you should care about because

473
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: not only do they have Clemson, as we discuss, but

474
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: they also have a road game at Florida State. Now,

475
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: we talked a lot in recent weeks about this game

476
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: in Tallahassee on November the seventeenth, specifically whether or not

477
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: it's a it's a trap game right for Florida State.

478
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 2: Sure, letdown.

479
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 1: I don't know if I if I really see it,

480
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: if I really feel it into my core, but I

481
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: am starting to talk myself into it. I'm starting to

482
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: talk myself into it just by by sheer nature of

483
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: it being a let down. Look ahead, Sandwich, you got Dunstan.

484
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Oh, Boston College it for sure, they

485
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: get Florida State a week after the Knowles go to

486
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: Notre Dame in a week before Florida comes to.

487
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 2: Talent correct is new coaches.

488
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, clearly a rivalry in the state of Florida. Meanwhile,

489
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 1: in between Boston College, they're going to be physical, they're

490
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: going to run with AJ Dillon, They're going to play defense. Sorry,

491
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: and a sort of talk myself into this a little

492
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: bit here.

493
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Florida State is not where they were in

494
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 2: terms of the stacked experienced talent where they were four

495
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 2: or five years ago. On defense, they're replacing all of

496
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 2: their linebackers. Up front, They've got really good pass rushers.

497
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 2: I really like their starting defensive tackles. But in terms

498
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 2: of what they're rotating in and out, they might be

499
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 2: able to be run on a week after Notre Dame

500
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 2: and should we should.

501
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: We just move on over to Florida State.

502
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 2: Here, let's go, let's go to Florida State. Give me

503
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 2: your final record prediction, which nobody's gonna hold you to account.

504
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: College six and six.

505
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go seven and five.

506
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 1: It's somewhere in that five to seven win cone there.

507
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, they feel like the Ron Swanson of the Fatlantic.

508
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: Just sturdy, very sturdy. Okay, let's go to Let's go

509
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: to Florida State. Florida State in transition, to say the least,

510
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: they went six and six a year ago.

511
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 2: Dan.

512
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 1: Now they bring on Willie Taggart, remember their dream job scenario.

513
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: Perhaps I would like to be the first to coin

514
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: the term the baby Knoles because they've got about three

515
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 1: seniors in their entire projected lineup. I think that bodes

516
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 1: very well for Willy Taggert year two. But what it

517
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: means in Willy Taggert year one remains to be seen. Sure,

518
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: So Daniel, I will ask you, tell me why should

519
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 1: we care about Florida State? Give me some reasons.

520
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 2: Cam Akers is the place for me. Cam Akers ran

521
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 2: behind a not that good offensive line last year, and

522
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 2: there's no reason to believe. I know, you know they're

523
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 2: gonna be healthier, but there's no reasonably it'll be dramatically

524
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 2: better other than the fact that, you know, maybe they'll

525
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 2: play a little bit faster. So that's sort of that

526
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 2: mystery invisible sixth offensive lineman on the field. Tempo, So

527
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 2: Temple should Tempo not Temple. I hope Temple doesn't help

528
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 2: Florida State. Tempo should help cam Akers as he gets

529
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 2: bigger and faster and more experienced. We saw the success

530
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 2: Royce Freeman had last year in this Willy Taggart offense.

531
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 2: The year before that, Marlon mack At was a force

532
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 2: to be reckoned with. So just if there is a

533
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 2: single reason, it is that cam Akers can win the

534
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 2: Heisman with the talent and if they have any sort

535
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 2: of semblance of a passing game. Whoever wins that quarterback job,

536
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 2: he will be put in a good position. You know,

537
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,719
Speaker 2: this is the Willy Taggert dream job. As you said, Ty,

538
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 2: anytime you can compare a new coach to Randy Edsel's

539
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 2: situation at Maryland, I think you have to do it

540
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 2: and absolute mind ourselves with Willy Taggart. And I would

541
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 2: add just because this is something we don't see all

542
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 2: that often. There have been I think four teams to

543
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 2: win a national championship since twenty eleven, Alabama, Clemson, Florida State,

544
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 2: and Ohio State unless I'm missing somebody, And so a

545
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 2: team on that level as Florida State is, with the

546
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 2: ability to bring in a ton of talent, should be

547
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 2: winning double digit games every year. They are a blue

548
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 2: blood in college football. We don't get to see a

549
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 2: reboot like we're seeing at Florida State all that often,

550
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 2: and that to me is a little bit fascinating. And

551
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 2: even if you're a Washington fan, even if you're a

552
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 2: San Diego State fan, even if you're a Texas Tech fan,

553
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 2: it's kind of interesting to see what Florida State does

554
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 2: when they have this full reboot period for the second

555
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,479
Speaker 2: time in about a decade, which is kind of crazy

556
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 2: for a blue blood.

557
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: But here we are I you know, I think I

558
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: kind of agree with you. I think of when the

559
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: Yankees decided to blow it up a couple of years ago,

560
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: two years ago now, it ended up yielding fruit sooner

561
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: than they thought. In the Yankees case, we're not a

562
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: baseball show here.

563
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 2: But I'll take your word for it.

564
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: Could that could that ultimately be the same kind of

565
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: thing for Florida State this season. Now, Lord knows, they've

566
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: got plenty of talent. They're loaded still on defense and

567
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: really all across the field. Here. What will be the

568
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: limiting factor for Florida State will be the schedule. Will

569
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: be the schedule. First game of the year against Virginia

570
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: Tech at home. That's a pretty big game. Big game

571
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: helps at it's at home. But still they've got a

572
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: road spot against Syracuse, which we'll talk about Syracuse. There's

573
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: not a lot to write home about, but the Carrier

574
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: Dome is a very weird place to play, very true

575
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: at Miami Week six. Miami should still be pretty solid.

576
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 2: Then they've got it should be good.

577
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've got this stretch later on in the year,

578
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: Clemson at nc State in what may end up being

579
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: a let down look ahead spot. We'll have to talk

580
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: about them when we get there at Notre Dame Boston

581
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: College and then Florida. Nine wins in that schedule would

582
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: be a masterful job for Willie Taggert, would it not.

583
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, with quarterback uncertainty and installing everything new that

584
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 2: the defense is switching up pretty dramatically, and outside of

585
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 2: Lavonta Taylor, you know, it's a pretty decent quarterback conference

586
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 2: and a pretty decent quarterback schedule for Florida State, and

587
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 2: having secondary question is not the best. So yes, if

588
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 2: he wins nine games with that schedule, especially how it

589
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 2: rolls up at the end. And I really do like

590
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 2: some of I like the ones a lot pretty much everywhere.

591
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 2: I don't love receiver, but you know, Marvin Wilson sliding

592
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 2: in there. Brian Burns is a very good defensive end,

593
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 2: as is Caneo. So there's a lot to love ceiling

594
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: wise about Florida State. But growing pains wise, you're right,

595
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 2: Going to Miami, going to Louisville.

596
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: It's real tough, real tough.

597
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 2: It's just a lot of road time, it's a lot

598
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 2: of it's a lot of plane, it's a lot of

599
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 2: hotel bed. It's it's not my favorite. If I'm a

600
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 2: Florida State.

601
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: Fan, the Baby Noles road tour will be something to

602
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: care about in twenty eighteen very quickly, because we do

603
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: have to pay some of the bills, and we do

604
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: have what four other teams in the ACC Fatlantic we

605
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: need to get to before we talk about the AAC West.

606
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: What can Florida State fans expect from Willie Taggert? What

607
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: will look different from what we saw last year and

608
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: the many years prior under Jimbo Fisher.

609
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 2: At least one solid year of hard work, I can

610
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 2: guarantee you. Actually, no, I shouldn't say that, because I

611
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 2: think it was just under a year, but at least

612
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 2: eleven months, Okay, a very hard work and dedication to

613
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 2: the program. Now, what they can expect, obviously is something

614
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 2: they've already seen. He will recruit very well throughout. So

615
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 2: that's off the field, he hired pretty well. I know

616
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 2: this staff didn't come together as he would have as

617
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 2: he would have liked. But on field stuff, they're going

618
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 2: to play a lot faster than they played with Jimbo

619
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 2: Fisher last year. I think there is going to be

620
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 2: it's going to be a lot simpler, and that is

621
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 2: something that Florida State and Florida State fans have been

622
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 2: clamoring for for the past couple of years. And it's

623
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 2: cool to say, like, oh, his offense is so complicated,

624
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 2: and oh, Jimbo empowers the quarterback to make all these

625
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 2: reads and adjustments. But sometimes just like we have better

626
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 2: players run faster than the dudes in the other colored uniforms.

627
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 2: So I think there is going to be a lot

628
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 2: more speed rotated in and out of the game. There's

629
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 2: going to be more simplicity, and he is going to

630
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 2: This is not necessarily different, but Willy Taggert has that

631
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 2: sort of killer instinct that has served him well both

632
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 2: on and off the field, that I think is going

633
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 2: to It's going to have Florida State fans responding pretty

634
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 2: positively in the medium and long term. This year. It's

635
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 2: going to be tricky, but I think they were due,

636
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 2: you know, Jimbo Fisher's situation not getting along with everybody

637
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 2: being distracted by, you know, just bickering with administrative types

638
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 2: at Florida State, that the program was due for a reboot,

639
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 2: a reset, and the new energy that Willy Taggart should

640
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 2: bring in, I would imagine we'll pay dividends. Even with

641
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 2: that end of the schedule, it should be a fun

642
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 2: Florida State team at bare minimum compared to where they've

643
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 2: been these past couple of years.

644
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of paying off Dan, let's talk about our

Speaker 1: our good friends over at Casper.

671
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I was actually I was thinking pretty

672
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 2: thoroughly about Casper about fourteen hours ago.

673
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: Continue though, Casper is a sleep brand that continues to

674
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: revolutionize its line of products and create an exceptionally comfortable

675
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: sleep experience one night at a time. Dan and I

676
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: both have Casper mattresses. One thing we have not discussed

677
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: is how Jody with an Eye has acclimated to the

678
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: Casper mattress.

679
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 2: Jody with an Eye is on the Casper mattress at

680
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 2: random times throughout weekend day, and can't. I may like

681
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 2: the Casper mattress more than she likes me. I concur

682
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 2: that I'm a similar position here. Yeah, with the solid wife.

683
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 2: They have three mattress models now available. The Original Casper,

684
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 2: the Wave, and the Essential Casper mattresses are perfectly designed

685
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 2: to soothe and cradle your natural geometry, not to mention

686
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,840

687
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,759

Speaker 2: it is delivered right to your door in a small.

689
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: How did they do that sized box, with free shipping

690
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: and returns in the United States and Canada. The best

691
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: part of all is that you can be sure your

692
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: purchase of a Casper mattress is right for you because

Speaker 1: it trial. You spend one third of your life sleeping,

695
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: you might as well be comfortable doing it. So we've

696
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: talked about Casper ad nauseum on this show. We both

697
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: enjoy the sleep experience. We enjoyed the unboxing experience, perhaps

698
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: a little bit too much. But we've talked about our

699
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: personal stories with Casper time and time again. We would

700
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,160

Speaker 1: of a mattress. Dan, Terms and conditions do apply.

707
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 2: This is a totally true story. I couldn't fall asleep

708
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 2: last night. I was wondering, I'm usually asleep way earlier

709
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 2: than this. Why am I not asleep? And then I

710
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 2: realized I had six giant mot frozen coffee MOCHIESE. Yeah.

711
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 2: And so I was just sitting there awake, and I

712
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 2: listen to a podcast and then I was just laying there.

713
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 2: And you're supposed to like really think about like your

714
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 2: breath and you know, releasing your muscles from your bones

715
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 2: to try to turn your brain off and go to sleep,

716
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 2: and you're having trouble sleeping. And my thought as I

717
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 2: was laying there, remembering my very poor decision making with

718
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 2: the six coffee mochies.

719
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, was.

720
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 2: Damn it. This is a comfortable mattress, absolutely really comfortable.

721
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 2: And then I passed out.

722
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: Then you passed out. Let's move on. Let's go back

723
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: into the acc Atlantic and talk about let's talk about

724
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: NC state this year.

725
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 2: Dan, Let's do it.

726
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: It's going to be a hell of a ride, isn't it.

727
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, will be Wow, you had It's and this

728
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 2: is kind of a theme both throughout the Fatlantic with

729
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:44,760
Speaker 2: certain teams and the AAC West is okay, quarterback seems

730
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 2: to be in a pretty good place. Either somebody's experienced

731
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 2: in coming back and as a strength, or somebody showed

732
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 2: a little bit of a promise to finish out last year.

733
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 2: But that defense canna be rough.

734
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, it's it's frenzy status. It's all on Ryan Finley,

735
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 1: and I do mean all because they lose Jalen Samuels,

736
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,760
Speaker 1: their h back. We talked about Jalen Samuels for three years.

737
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: He did so much for that offense as a runner

738
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: and a receiver. And you factor that in with Nahem

739
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 1: Hines who's also gone from the backfield.

740
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 2: Yep.

741
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: I feel great about their passing game because Kelvin Harmon,

742
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 1: Stephen Lewis, and Jacoby Myers they're all back in addition

743
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: to Ryan Finley. But who that defense? If that is

744
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 1: not going to be mcgyverd together, I don't know what

745
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: will in the acc FA Atlantic.

746
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I suppose If you are into good quarterback play,

747
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 2: is this is why you care about NC State. You

748
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 2: get to watch Ryan Finley, who was super efficient most

749
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 2: of last year, could be one of the first three

750
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 2: or four quarterbacks taken in the draft that that's something

751
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,879
Speaker 2: you're interested in. And there's gonna be shootouts back half

752
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 2: of that schedule.

753
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, whoof?

754
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 2: So I mean, this isn't all that diff Like. They

755
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 2: gave up a ton through the air last year, even

756
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 2: with Bradley Chubb, even with that defensive line. So there's

757
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 2: no real reason to assume anything too different from Menci

758
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 2: State this year. But that's fine. They were fun to

759
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 2: watch last year. They were within a few points of Clemson,

760
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 2: a few seconds of beating Clemson. The back half of

761
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 2: this schedule is they go to Clemson, to Syracuse, Florida

762
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 2: State wake at Louisville, and then North Carolina on the

763
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 2: road as well. We don't know if that's super crazy,

764
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 2: but right this is another and we didn't play this

765
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 2: sound too much last year. We've already played it tonight.

766
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 2: They have Clemson on the road October twentieth, Florida State

767
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 2: at home November three. And where do they go in

768
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 2: between those two weeks? Tell me Dan, they go to

769
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 2: the Carrier Dome. Oh look a dun sandwich.

770
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: You I'm so hungry.

771
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 2: I'm so hungry.

772
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a letdown look ahead spot if I've ever

773
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: seen one.

774
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 2: I'm not going to not with the confidence I had

775
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 2: about Boston College and Clemson say that Syracuse is they're

776
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:04,240
Speaker 2: right there to just pick off NC State, But Syracuse

777
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 2: is kind of like a tapeworm. Ultimately, you're going to

778
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,439
Speaker 2: keep on living your life, probably like Clemson did last year. Right,

779
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 2: but you go to you know, Ellis you had their

780
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 2: struggles with just randomly with Syracuse. You remember Louisville back

781
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 2: in the day, troubles like they are just they're going

782
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 2: to attach themselves to your intestine, right and make things

783
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 2: tricky for a while.

784
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: Like you can get rid of them, but only with

785
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 1: really strong antibiotics.

786
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to take some time. It is going

787
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 2: to take some time. You go to Western New York,

788
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 2: you're going to catch something. Yeah, and that's something is

789
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 2: is dino babitis.

790
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what Syracuse tapeworm. I think is an

791
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: apt way to put it. I you know, so that

792
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 1: of course is something that I think will be care

793
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: worthy if you're looking at NC State. Yeah, but you know,

794
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: they're intriguing to me because outside of a couple teams

795
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 1: on the schedule. Right, with the exception of teams like

796
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,959
Speaker 1: Clemson in Florida State, you don't look at it and say, wow,

797
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: there's like a ton of offensive firepower that they got

798
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: to worry about, right.

799
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 2: Right, No, there isn't.

800
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: So you know, for as bad as the defense could be,

801
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: and we don't know, for as bad as they could

802
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: be this year, their offense could just be good enough

803
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: to offset some of the issues that they might have

804
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: on defense, so they still, who the hell knows, could

805
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: end up winning a bunch of games. I think that

806
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 1: really lends credence to what you said at the top.

807
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: A lot of shootouts this year, a lot of reason

808
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: to be really interested in how NC State finishes in

809
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: that ACC. Fatlantic. Look, you could make a case for

810
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: them to finish fifth or sixth in that side of

811
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: the ACC. Yeah, as much as you could make a

812
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 1: case for them to finish third. It really varies depending

813
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: on how that defense plays, and particularly if the offense

814
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 1: can pick up the slack. The other thing that I'll

815
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: throw out there that I don't think you mentioned, you

816
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: might have, and if you did, I apologize. There's a

817
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 1: pretty big litmus test Week three against West Virginia which

818
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:09,839
Speaker 1: could be I was just going to go there. Yeah,

819
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: a ton of fun to watch, especially given the fact

820
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 1: that both teams are on track to put up a

821
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 1: lot of points this year.

822
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 2: This is true, and they're they're very similar there. You know,

823
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 2: they have that quarterback who is pretty well regarded. They

824
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 2: have the receiving experience and talent defense with huge questions.

825
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 2: That'll be fun. It will one. I think that's an

826
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 2: afternoon three thirty kick. That's going to be after two

827
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 2: and listen. I'm not going to put down JMU. This

828
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 2: is a powerhouse program, but they should beat JMU.

829
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: They better beat JMU. Dave Dorian almost took the Tennessee job.

830
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:43,720
Speaker 1: They better beat JMU.

831
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 2: The other great thing about just in terms of schedule,

832
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 2: is they miss Miami, Virginia Tech, and Georgia Tech cross

833
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 2: division wise, and no Notre Dame this year.

834
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: No Notre Dame. That's right.

835
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 2: It's a nice year to have to rely on some

836
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 2: smoke in mirror and one single right arm for success.

837
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 2: I know they go to Clemson into the Carrier Dome

838
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 2: and consecutive weeks, and the back half of their schedule

839
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 2: they go to Louisville and maybe Juan Pass you know,

840
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 2: beyond having an excellent name is going to be incredible.

841
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,399
Speaker 2: But all things considered, this would be this should be

842
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 2: at the very least another fun team.

843
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: Right, it should be a fun team. It won't be

844
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: fun against a team like Boston College. It's just going

845
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: to run the ball forty times. That will be as

846
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: they should. I think that will be a bit of

847
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: an issue for NCI State. But otherwise, yeah, it's gonna

848
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: be a hell of a ride. That's the best I

849
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: can say.

850
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a it's things. If things lined up like

851
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 2: this last year, it would have been ideal schedule wise,

852
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,479
Speaker 2: but great fun. This is good. This is a North

853
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 2: Carolina State is a perfect example of you're a fan

854
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 2: of somebody eighteen hundred miles away and c stay it's

855
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 2: going a good TV show this year.

856
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Syracuse tapeworm, shall we. I'd love

857
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: to when four and eight last year. Grungy Eric Dungee

858
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: is back in what feels like is seventeenth season.

859
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 2: Now I'm rooting for him. I like that he's randomly

860
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 2: from Portland and got a last second Syracuse offer and

861
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 2: was like, okay, sure, whatever.

862
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: We're talking about a team with no true game breakers

863
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 1: on offense. No, the defense surprisingly is actually stronger for

864
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: Syracuse this year, stronger than I think we're used to.

865
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: But the fact remains that Syracuse is one in fifteen

866
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: in their last four novembers. Dan Ah Bowl eligibility is

867
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: going to come down to games at Wake and Boston

868
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: College and at home against Louisville. We've got a neutral

869
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: cider in there, also LOUMERWL Louiaville against Notre Dame. They

870
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 1: may need to win two or three of those games

871
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 1: late in the year to get Bowl eligible. And I

872
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: feel like that's an awful lot to ask.

873
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:55,919
Speaker 2: Where is that Notre Dame game?

874
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: It's a Yankee Stadium, Dan Yankee Stadium, Okay, the de

875
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: facto oh Pinstripe Bowl, but not really the Pinstripe Bull.

876
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 2: Oh, and you have your hat, You're all set if

877
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 2: you would decide to head on down to the Bronx.

878
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: There's also, as we mentioned earlier, games in the Carrier

879
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: Dome versus Florida State, versus NC State versus Louisville, Louisville Louisville.

880
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: Who will talk about vul in just a little bit.

881
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: The conventional logic dan mm hmm, was that Syracuse was

882
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 1: going to take a big leap forward last year, and

883
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 1: that did not really happen. It was a tough schedule.

884
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: Eric Dungee missed I think the last what three games

885
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: of the year mm hmm, and it kind of came

886
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: apart on him. Now they've got a fair amount of

887
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: experience coming back in the ACC. I don't know if

888
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm expecting a breakthrough here for Dino Babers. I want

889
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 1: there to be a breakthrough, I really do. I'm just

890
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: not feeling it.

891
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 2: So few notes about Syracuse. One schedule is actually pretty

892
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 2: awesome when you look at it. So this is another team,

893
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 2: no Georgia Tech, no Virginia Tech, no Miami. When you

894
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 2: have a suspect defense, I agree with you that their

895
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 2: defense should be better. That's mostly because of their defensive

896
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 2: line is experienced, and I think should make some plays

897
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 2: behind that defensive line. I don't know how happy I

898
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 2: am with this QS defense. But listen. They go to

899
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 2: Western Michigan, Fine Wagner, Fine Florida State is at home.

900
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:24,760
Speaker 2: They're going to lose that game most likely, but whatever,

901
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 2: it's at home. At least they have Yukon at home.

902
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 2: They go to Clemson two pit. They these are like

903
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 2: going two pit is not Pitt's going to start? Who

904
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 2: at the retread USC Alabama, Like this pit's going to

905
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 2: be not great probably this year the road games back

906
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 2: half of the schedule, when things hypothetically get tough and

907
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 2: you're wounded and beat up, like as Syracuse was last year,

908
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,399
Speaker 2: they go two wake. They have Notre Dame. They're gonna

909
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 2: lose Notre Dame at Yankee Stadium, but they're not going

910
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 2: to South Bend and they go to Boston College. So

911
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 2: this is not a murderer's rose schedule. Eric Dungee, we

912
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 2: are every digit we have is cross that he stays

913
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 2: healthy this year. There's a cool like the quarterback room

914
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,439
Speaker 2: is an amazing story with Eric Dungee being a fourth

915
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:13,320
Speaker 2: year starter, Rex Culpeper coming back from testicular cancer, and

916
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 2: Tommy DeVito being one of like nine famous Tommy DeVito's

917
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:22,840
Speaker 2: the bass player for the four season four seasons, Frankie

918
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 2: Valley in the four seasons, Tommy DeVito, Joe Pesci's character

919
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:30,399
Speaker 2: and Goodfellowvida like A'm I funny how I'm when I'm

920
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 2: a clown. I'm using Tommy DeVito and Tommy DeVito's a

921
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 2: four star blue chip quarterback who may be the best

922
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 2: pure passer in that room. So Syracuse at least has

923
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 2: a Tommy Davito. And I don't know what's gonna happen.

924
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 2: I don't know who's gonna be quarterback by the time

925
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 2: to get to say North Carolina on October twentieth. But

926
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,359
Speaker 2: the Syracuse tapeworm is real, Tie, it is very real,

927
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 2: And I don't know who's going to be administering said tapeworm. Yeah,

928
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 2: but this should be a year in what it is now.

929
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 2: You're three of Dino Baber's year three. That year two,

930
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 2: they beat Clemson and we all remember that, and that

931
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 2: was a program defining or at least season defining moment

932
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 2: for Syracuse before. I mean, they didn't win after that game,

933
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 2: but it's set up that they could go to a

934
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 2: bowl game this year, and that would be a cool story,

935
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,319
Speaker 2: all things considered, with how down they were and all

936
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 2: of my bluster about the ACC being basically joke free

937
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 2: in terms of teams and basement dwelling. So I'm rooting

938
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 2: for Syracuse to be an effective tapeworm.

939
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 1: I'm not totally on board with your assertion here that

940
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: the schedule isn't isn't that bad? Well, I think I

941
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,360
Speaker 1: think it's a lot to ask late in the year

942
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: for them to win two or three of those games

943
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: that I listed in order to make a Bowl, because

944
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: that's what it's going to come down to. So we'll

945
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: wait and see on that front. But on your point

946
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:03,839
Speaker 1: of the Syracuse tapeworm, a subplot could be that there's

947
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: only one man in the world who knows the cure

948
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: to the Syracuse tapeworm. He's a man on the inside

949
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 1: and he's the punter named Sterling Hulfrichter Junior.

950
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, what a name.

951
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 1: If there's anybody who knows the antidote, it's somebody named

952
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 1: Sterling Hulfrichter Junior.

953
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 2: As a note, that's not as entertaining as that. You

954
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 2: can get into the Syracuse Wagner game right now for

955
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 2: six dollars, So a ticket is going to cost less

956
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 2: than a hot dog at that game.

957
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: All right, two teams left in the ACC. Let's talk

958
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: about well, Lo Louisville. So I mentioned how Boston College

959
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 1: might be the most interesting team in the ACC. I

960
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 1: think I really mean it about Louisville. Louisville Louiauville went eight.

961
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 2: And four a year. It's in your head and I

962
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 2: love it.

963
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: You're so in my head. Eight and four year ago

964
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 1: they lose Lamar Jackson. Everyone knows the deal about Lamar Jackson,

965
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:08,839
Speaker 1: all right. Heisman Trophy winning quarterback was unbelievable. But now

966
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: this year they've got seven other guys who were on

967
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 1: the team from a year ago who were back on offense.

968
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: They've got four along the offensive line, and they've got

969
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 1: their new quarterback, Juwan Pass, who's a freaking tank at

970
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 1: six four, two thirty and he goes by the nickname Puma,

971
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 1: which I love. Love that love that we've got Puma

972
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 1: Pass out there running the show for the Louisville Cardinals.

973
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: So that should at least be fun on the offensive

974
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 1: side of the ball. The defense, Dan also could be fun,

975
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 1: but only in a very sadistic way. Just throwing it

976
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 1: out there because I know they're bringing Brian van Gorder

977
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: to town. And just as you were once a fan

978
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 1: of a Brady Hoag defense, I too was once a

979
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 1: fan of many Brian Van Gorder defenses, and Louisville fans,

980
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 1: I feel for you.

981
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 2: You may watch more Louisville games. This might be the

982
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:03,320
Speaker 2: care factor above even whom a pass just to bathe

983
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:06,760
Speaker 2: in the fact that you don't have to be invested

984
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:07,840
Speaker 2: in the BBG defense.

985
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 1: Somebody, please, I am begging for somebody out there. Somebody

986
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:16,320
Speaker 1: find me. The article that is written, if it isn't written,

987
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 1: should be written and will be written about the new

988
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: aggressive attacking mentality that BVG is going to bring to town.

989
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: Somebody's going to write that article.

990
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 2: Dan, I just and we'll get to this the back

991
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:31,800
Speaker 2: half of the show. I did just see in reading

992
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:36,800
Speaker 2: about I think it's SMU and Sonny Dyke's who hired him.

993
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 2: They hired Kevin Kine. I believe his name is the

994
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 2: NIU defensive coordinator. Attacking mentality. Baby, they love it. It

995
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 2: should be noted somebody's going to write that article about BVG.

996
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 2: Do you think it will be? And you are in

997
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:59,240
Speaker 2: control of this partially A top I don't know. Six

998
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:03,800
Speaker 2: Fantasy Thing draft pick. Juwan Pass is a quarterback and

999
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 2: his name is Pass.

1000
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: Oh, that might be a little too dad jokey for

1001
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 1: our Fantasy Things draft.

1002
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 2: Who do you think is calling these games?

1003
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 1: I know, I mean it's Dad joke Central calling these games.

1004
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I mean it's in the conversation.

1005
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 1: We'll put it there. It's on my list.

1006
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 2: It's so blunt and direct. I wish there were, like

1007
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 2: a if there were a long snapper named Broderick Snappington, right,

1008
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 2: that'd be for me, that'd be a little bit better.

1009
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:39,800
Speaker 1: See instead of the pass quarterback factor, right, I think

1010
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 1: we might go with more of an ironic play given

1011
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 1: the fact that Juan Passes nickname is Puma, yet he's

1012
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 1: six four two thirty. The Puma, of course being a

1013
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: regal sinewy beast out on thee yeah, out on the

1014
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 1: uh you know, western part of North America and whatnot,

1015
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: and he of course being just an utter tank at

1016
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: six four two thirty. How do we feel about Louisville, Dan,

1017
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 1: Other than those two reasons why we should care, how

1018
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: do you feel about a eight or nine win Louisville

1019
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:15,800
Speaker 1: team this year? Is that too generous?

1020
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 2: I don't think it's too generous. They return a good

1021
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 2: amount on offense. Their skill talent around Juwan Pass should

1022
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 2: be pretty great. The line, as you mentioned, is what

1023
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,840
Speaker 2: it's four out of five for starters. So the situation

1024
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 2: the offense finds itself in and namely Bobby Petrino. It

1025
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 2: seems advantageous. They opened the season in a less than

1026
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 2: advantageous Alabama not good. So they play Alabama? Is that Orlando?

1027
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 2: Where they play that Orlando?

1028
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yes, Camping World Stadium, Dan, Yes, And.

1029
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 2: That feels dicey. That feels like a dicey way to

1030
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 2: introduce a new quarterback. We saw that with USC a

1031
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:02,879
Speaker 2: couple of years ago and Max Brown. So outside of that,

1032
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 2: the non conference part of their schedule, you know, they

1033
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 2: finished with Kentucky. It's fine. Road wise, I think it's

1034
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 2: pretty great. This is another team that is not I mean,

1035
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 2: they have Georgia Tech, but they don't have Miami of

1036
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 2: Virginia Tech, so cross division wise, and they don't have

1037
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. So it's fine. Alabama changes the paradigm of

1038
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:24,799
Speaker 2: sense to schedule is.

1039
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 1: Fine just a little bit. Yeah, that's fair.

1040
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:31,279
Speaker 2: Defensively, linebacker is intriguing. Upfront, I'm not scared of too much,

1041
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:34,879
Speaker 2: especially given the defensive coordinator and the scheme. You're gonna

1042
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 2: be able to throw on this Louisville team a good amount.

1043
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 2: The good news for them is a lot of these

1044
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 2: teams don't have super talented, proven quarterbacks at least in

1045
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:46,760
Speaker 2: the first half of the schedule, so that's at least

1046
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 2: again outside of Alabama.

1047
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 1: You could dan, you could squint and find eight or

1048
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 1: nine wins here if you're feeling generous. You could also

1049
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 1: see it going terribly wrong and then missing a bowl.

1050
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 1: That's part of the reason why I think Louisville has

1051
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 1: a high care factor in the ACC this year. Whether's

1052
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 1: so intriguing because yeah, it could kind of go either way.

1053
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 2: No, you're right. I think seven and a half feels

1054
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,959
Speaker 2: about the right over under. I think eight and four

1055
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:15,479
Speaker 2: with a couple of breaks. I know if Jawan Pass

1056
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 2: works out, feels a bit right. I want to highlight

1057
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 2: a dude if you will, if you can play the

1058
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 2: same Their right tackle is what is considered to be

1059
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 2: a big dude. McKai Becton is six seven, three sixty

1060
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 2: whole and he's good at football.

1061
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 1: Geez.

1062
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 2: And we've seen offensive line issues very recently with Louisville.

1063
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 2: It appears to be solidifying. They hired a new coach

1064
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 2: before last year. Up front, I imagine if Juwan Pass

1065
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 2: is able to develop throughout this season after the Alabama game,

1066
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 2: a big reason for that will be that line giving

1067
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 2: him time to throw to experienced receivers. And McKai becton

1068
00:57:56,240 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 2: is the clear size and yeah size of that line.

1069
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 2: So he is the uh as you look at pickup trucks,

1070
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 2: it's like an extended bed.

1071
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, And finally in the acc FA Atlantic before

1072
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 1: we move quickly and buzz through the aa C West. Yes,

1073
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 1: talking about wake Forest, Dan, wake Forest went seven and

1074
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 1: five a year ago. They were plucky. I enjoyed talking.

1075
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: I enjoyed predicting what would happen next with the Wolford wagon.

1076
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 1: The Wolford wagon has has ridden off into the sunset,

1077
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 1: rolled on. Yep. Now we're talking about the Kendall Hinton era,

1078
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 1: which is going to have to wait a few extra

1079
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 1: games to start in earnest here because he was suspended

1080
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 1: for the first three games of the year due to

1081
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 1: a violation of team rules. So where do we stand

1082
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 1: here with wake Forest. We know that the offensive line

1083
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 1: is back. We know that the receiving cores is mostly back.

1084
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 1: We know that Matt Coleburn is back at running back,

1085
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 1: had almost a thousand yards a year ago. We know

1086
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 1: all that. We don't know a ton about quarterback. We'll

1087
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: wait and see The real question is going to be

1088
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:18,840
Speaker 1: that front seven, isn't it.

1089
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 2: Yes, that defense may be pretty rough, but here's why

1090
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 2: you care. And I would probably group this in that

1091
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 2: same Boston College. And I promise I'm not trying to

1092
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 2: and I'm not being condescending in my heart about this.

1093
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 2: Wake Forest is a competitive team. This like Boston College matters.

1094
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:40,439
Speaker 2: They're developing players on both sides of the ball. Duke

1095
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 2: Edge of four unfortunately is gone. I mean still alive,

1096
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 2: but no longer in Winston Salem. And you know, whether

1097
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 2: it's John Wolford, whether it's just the claw fence. In general,

1098
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 2: it's good. Life is good watching the ACC and wake Forest.

1099
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 2: They were like a foot and a half from beating

1100
00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:58,439
Speaker 2: Florida State last year.

1101
00:59:58,560 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 1: That's right.

1102
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 2: They win a big shootout, fun bowl game. Wake Forest,

1103
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 2: a team that's associated with the saddest moment in ACC

1104
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 2: Championship game history, is a fun team developing quarterbacks. They

1105
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:15,919
Speaker 2: have like an all purpose standout And he's a dude.

1106
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 2: But we don't need to play the sound again, but

1107
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 2: he is definitely Greg Dortch, which is a ridiculous name

1108
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 2: to say. It sounds fake. It sounds like he sells

1109
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 2: Spokane better than any other realtor in the area. Trust

1110
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 2: Greg Dortch with your ranch house. But Greg Dortch is

1111
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 2: really fun. He could be a Debo type impact player

1112
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 2: for Wake. I like this situation for Wake a lot.

1113
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 2: They're not all that different from a couple of these

1114
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 2: other teams that are gonna rely on shootouts but schematically

1115
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 2: on offense with a line that's in place and at

1116
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 2: least a promising quarterback. We think in Kendall Hinton. There's

1117
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:53,160
Speaker 2: a lot to like again, adding to the joke freeness

1118
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 2: of the ACC, which I can name a couple of

1119
01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 2: other major conferences off the top of my head that

1120
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 2: are nowhere near as joke free as the ACC.

1121
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: Joke free ACC. I like it. It's got a ring

1122
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 1: to it. Can I can I confess something here?

1123
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 2: Please?

1124
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 1: Can I just get it out before we get any

1125
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 1: deeper into our season previews? Here?

1126
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 2: Come into my safe arms time.

1127
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 1: There are deep, dark, unspoken moments when I forget that

1128
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 1: Dave Duran and Dave claws And are different people.

1129
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 2: It's okay, Dave is a very acc name.

1130
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 1: And I'm not proud of that because Dave Claws in Hey,

1131
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 1: He's done a really good job. Last year was fun

1132
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 1: to watch. He's two and zero in bowls. He's twenty

1133
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 1: one and twenty nine overall at wake Forest, which is

1134
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 1: not an easy task.

1135
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,480
Speaker 2: It's a full from scratch project that he has succeeded

1136
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 2: thus far with. And if there is any one wish

1137
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:49,920
Speaker 2: I have for Wake Forest is please get rid of

1138
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 2: the WF helmet decal.

1139
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:54,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, they could do so much better. Go fuld demon deacon,

1140
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 1: full demon Deacon.

1141
01:01:56,600 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 2: Do something. If you're refreshing successfully with the claw offence,

1142
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 2: refresh the look. Please please, please please please get just

1143
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 2: mess up that hat. Do something.

1144
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: Just write claw fence on it, but capitalize the W

1145
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 1: in the f. Oh do something happy medium. What's their

1146
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 1: schedule like? Is it is wake schedule? Like?

1147
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 2: Could they finish with it? Seems Let's see, they go

1148
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 2: to Florida State. They open at Tulane, which is going

1149
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:24,360
Speaker 2: to be tricky. That's a Thursday night opener. May have

1150
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 2: Florida State and Louisville on the road in consecutive weeks.

1151
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 1: Not like the worst road schedule here.

1152
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 2: No, and they have a bye week before that. Florida

1153
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 2: State Louisville double dep Yeah, all right, but Cloud they

1154
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 2: finish listen this. They finished with Syracuse, NC State on

1155
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 2: the road pit and going to Duke. It's it feels

1156
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 2: like they could go to a bowl game again, which

1157
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:45,720
Speaker 2: is great.

1158
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: I tell you right now. NC State might get torched

1159
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:50,480
Speaker 1: by the Dorch torch.

1160
01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 2: By the door, see that hat Dorch.

1161
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Louisville with that BVG defense, they could get torched

1162
01:02:55,880 --> 01:03:00,080
Speaker 1: by the Dorch torch by the doors. Just saying, so

1163
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 1: there you go. We went through the acc FA Atlantic,

1164
01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:09,440
Speaker 1: all seven teams of it. Dan, Yes, please write in

1165
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 1: Suliverble at gmail dot com. Let us know your thoughts.

1166
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 1: We're also available on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, all those hot spots.

1167
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 1: Let us know your thoughts on the acc Atlantic very quickly.

1168
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 1: People have been asking us now for gosh, I want

1169
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 1: to say, it's been five six years. As we do

1170
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 1: our season previews, we've had different iterations of season previews

1171
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 1: for a while. There. We were doing our top twenty

1172
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 1: five teams and our top forty teams. Then we switched

1173
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 1: it up to conferences, Then we switched it up to

1174
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 1: I forget whatever we did last year, but it was

1175
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 1: in Latin, like we did it in Latin pig last

1176
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 1: than before. Sure, Yeah, this year We're going to go

1177
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 1: division by division. We've had so many requests to talk

1178
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 1: in a little bit more detail about the group of five, correct,

1179
01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 1: So we're gonna try it this year. We're not going

1180
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 1: to devote a full hour and five like we did

1181
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 1: the ACC Atlantic. But let's talk about the ACC West, Dan,

1182
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 1: Let's talk about why we should care about Memphis, Houston

1183
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 1: Navy SMU two Lane in Tulsa.

1184
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 2: You should care because and I'm gonna make this very simple.

1185
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to encapsulate this in a way that

1186
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 2: makes sense to my dumb brain. You know, when you're

1187
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:24,760
Speaker 2: watching Netflix and you watch a show and you go

1188
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 2: on with your life. You're not doing anything else on Netflix.

1189
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 2: You're making yourself a sandwich, You're going to work whatever,

1190
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 2: and you come back, you come back to Netflix and

1191
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:34,120
Speaker 2: you say, oh, because you watch The Office, you might

1192
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 2: enjoy Parks and Recreation right right, because you watched Making

1193
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 2: a Murder whatever that show is called. You might like this.

1194
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,920
Speaker 2: You know, Peaky blind who's done it, Peaky Blinders, whatever?

1195
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 2: If you like The Big twelve, if you like PAC

1196
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 2: twelve after Dark, you might like the AAC West. I

1197
01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:59,040
Speaker 2: am really like do you have Spotify? Tie. Is that

1198
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 2: a certain too, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Discover Weekly is essentially

1199
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:06,440
Speaker 2: knows me better than my best friends, my wife, my family, whatever.

1200
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 2: There is something very Discover weekly about the AAC West.

1201
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:14,760
Speaker 2: Did you like Pactole after Dark? We got sunny dikes.

1202
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 2: Odds are astronomical that you're not rooting for Memphis, Houston, Navy, SMU,

1203
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 2: Tulane or Tulsa because they're just smaller football programs. And

1204
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 2: I know there's talk about like, oh, there's it's the

1205
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 2: Power six not the Power five because of the AAC.

1206
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:33,720
Speaker 2: But here's the thing. Memphis is really fun to watch,

1207
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:36,320
Speaker 2: and I have no rooting interest. Only I've been to Memphis.

1208
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 2: I have no rooting interest in the Tigers. Houston's going

1209
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:41,400
Speaker 2: to be fun to watch this year. Navy is going

1210
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:44,920
Speaker 2: to be fun to There's questions, there's astro there's ifs

1211
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 2: for all of these teams, but this is a TV show.

1212
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 2: If you like Khalil Tate in Arizona, I think you're

1213
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:54,440
Speaker 2: gonna like Derek King for Houston.

1214
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 1: That's took over at quarterback. Excuse me, that's Eric with

1215
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 1: a queue for quarterback.

1216
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:02,800
Speaker 2: D Yes, that's true. That is the exactly much. If

1217
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 2: you like watching Georgia Tech a couple of years ago

1218
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 2: with Justin Thomas. Whatever, You're gonna like Malcolm Perry and Navy.

1219
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:13,440
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna hate watching Malcolm Perry and Navy in

1220
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:16,360
Speaker 1: San Diego against Notre Dame. Why are they playing in

1221
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 1: San Diego?

1222
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 2: If you like previous Willie Fritz option teams, he's gonna

1223
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:24,720
Speaker 2: throw the ball pretty effectively. Not him, Jonathan Banks. If

1224
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:28,160
Speaker 2: you liked watching those Baylor Okay, Tulsa's gonna yeah, Tulsa's

1225
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 2: gonna be bad. This is almost assuredly going to be bad,

1226
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 2: but they might put up some points, who knows. And

1227
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 2: Oliver is the best defensive lineman in the country and

1228
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 2: he's on the same team as perhaps one of the

1229
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:42,560
Speaker 2: most fun new quarterbacks in the country and Derek King potentially,

1230
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 2: and we haven't even mentioned Memphis. If you like watching

1231
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 2: last year's Memphis team, there's a lot back on both sides.

1232
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:54,960
Speaker 2: They're going this is going to be this is Discover

1233
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 2: Weekly Pack twelve after Dark. And if that doesn't sell

1234
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:03,840
Speaker 2: you the AAC West tie, I need to go back

1235
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:05,280
Speaker 2: to the drawing door board because I thought that was

1236
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 2: pretty good.

1237
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 1: That wasn't half bad? Dan Yes, not to mention Brady

1238
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 1: White from Memphis. Formerly I think of Arizona State.

1239
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 2: Right following Norvel to Memphis.

1240
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think there are a lot of reasons

1241
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 1: to be excited about the AAC West.

1242
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:26,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. And if you look at the AAC in general,

1243
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 2: and you look at teams who scored the fewest points

1244
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:33,120
Speaker 2: not coming from the West. Nope, I'm not going to

1245
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 2: tell you the AAC East is discover Weekly Big twelve

1246
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:39,720
Speaker 2: because it's just not Nope. Outside of UCF, I am

1247
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:44,520
Speaker 2: extremely unironically excited like that. I would make the AAC

1248
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 2: West a DVR show. They're like a great Tuesday watch.

1249
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:50,919
Speaker 2: Like I'm not going to be able to watch every

1250
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:53,760
Speaker 2: minute of all of these games, but they'll be on YouTube,

1251
01:07:53,840 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 2: They'll be on some service, and I'll be able to

1252
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 2: skim through and have a grand old time. That's the

1253
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 2: AAC West to me. Discover Weekly Pac twelve.

1254
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 1: After dark, I'll be discovering Memphis at Missouri on October

1255
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 1: the twentieth. That could be a fun game.

1256
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it absolutely can be.

1257
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:15,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't want to talk again about Navy against

1258
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:18,720
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, but I suppose if you hate Notre Dame,

1259
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 1: that could be interesting. Oh, by the way, we could

1260
01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:24,160
Speaker 1: talk on September fifteenth about Navy against Lehigh for a

1261
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:25,879
Speaker 1: little Patriot League seasoning.

1262
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:31,559
Speaker 2: We could. I anticipate it a lot of fun here

1263
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:34,719
Speaker 2: in the and Houston has a couple of Power five teams.

1264
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:38,639
Speaker 1: Earlier, Houston's got to have Arizona Texas Tech. They'll probably

1265
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 1: shut out Texas Tech within Oliver.

1266
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:42,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the back half of that defense is

1267
01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 2: your voice goes up a little bit when you talk

1268
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:48,320
Speaker 2: about some of that. They lost a lot, but they're

1269
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:50,439
Speaker 2: gonna be fun. Yeah, Man, there are time do you

1270
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:55,640
Speaker 2: have you listened to your Discover Weekly? Sometimes it is unbelievable.

1271
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 2: I've polluted mine because I listen to music when I work.

1272
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 2: Sometimes that is sort of like that chip Ill, you know,

1273
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 2: ambient productive music, and so that that pollutes a little bit.

1274
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:06,599
Speaker 2: I wish there was a way to change things up.

1275
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 2: But man, I love me some Discover Weekly, and they

1276
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:12,439
Speaker 2: are not paying me a damn dime to say that.

1277
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 1: No, they are definitely not paying us a damn time

1278
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:15,960
Speaker 1: on that firm.

1279
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 2: Get at us, Spotify. I believe you have gone public

1280
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:21,240
Speaker 2: and you are flushed with cash.

1281
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 1: All right, Well, that does it for our first preview shows.

1282
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 2: Who's coming out of the West.

1283
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 1: By the way, who's coming out of the West?

1284
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:32,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, which team do you feel most confident? You feel

1285
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:35,960
Speaker 2: Memphis reloading a quarterback, new look Houston offense major Apple

1286
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:38,639
Speaker 2: White and ned York King and Kendall Briles. We should

1287
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:45,639
Speaker 2: mention that ye'll be uncomfortable, but effect is Malcolm perryat

1288
01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:47,840
Speaker 2: the same type of you know, game breaker.

1289
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:52,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Memphis again. Okay, give me a Memphis.

1290
01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:57,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think I'm gonna do that as well. They

1291
01:09:57,080 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 2: lose their offensive coordinator for the second straight year. But

1292
01:09:59,360 --> 01:09:59,960
Speaker 2: I'm going Memphi.

1293
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:03,679
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Memphis. Yeah, let's do Memphis here. Okay,

1294
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 1: So here is the deal moving forward, Dan and I,

1295
01:10:07,040 --> 01:10:12,679
Speaker 1: we believe have done an alarming amount of planning. Yeah,

1296
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 1: to plot our pathway through till the end of August.

1297
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:19,800
Speaker 1: We've got a show with Bill Barnwell that we're very

1298
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:23,719
Speaker 1: excited about, non football show that we've also got, Yeah

1299
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:26,400
Speaker 1: on the schedule. We've got our Live Fantasy Things show,

1300
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:28,519
Speaker 1: which we will released even if you can't make it

1301
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:30,760
Speaker 1: to Chicago. We want you to be there, but if

1302
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:33,320
Speaker 1: you can't, we are going to put that one out there.

1303
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 1: After the fact so you can listen. We think we've

1304
01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:39,120
Speaker 1: got a pathway through all the way until the start

1305
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:42,120
Speaker 1: of the college football season. There will be a point

1306
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:44,680
Speaker 1: here very soon, and by very soon, I think I

1307
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:47,960
Speaker 1: mean next week where we're gonna start putting two shows

1308
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 1: out a.

1309
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:50,599
Speaker 2: Week, ramp it up. We're gonna stop.

1310
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna ramp this machine up and start talking about

1311
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 1: more conferences in the span of a week. So this

1312
01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:01,600
Speaker 1: is our warm up act. We've got more coming in

1313
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:04,880
Speaker 1: very short order. The best way that you can stay

1314
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 1: in touch with us is, as always, our newsletter, which

1315
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:09,840
Speaker 1: you can find at solid verbal dot com. There's a

1316
01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:12,519
Speaker 1: sign up form. You can also go to Facebook dot

1317
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:15,759
Speaker 1: com Solid Verbal click on the big sign up button

1318
01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:18,000
Speaker 1: at the top of the page. We're also going to

1319
01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 1: make sure we tweet out the form as well. If

1320
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:23,800
Speaker 1: you are interested in that live show or any of

1321
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:26,840
Speaker 1: our new merchandise that we're going to put forth. The

1322
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:30,439
Speaker 1: newsletter is the best place and the first place that

1323
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 1: you will find out all that information. That doesn't mean

1324
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:35,280
Speaker 1: we won't post it on social media in due time,

1325
01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 1: but if you want to be one of the early

1326
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:39,880
Speaker 1: birds and for the live show, I would suggest it

1327
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:41,799
Speaker 1: because I think we're going to sell out very quickly.

1328
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 1: The newsletter is your first line of defense, the best

1329
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:48,080
Speaker 1: place that you can find all that information out. I

1330
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:49,920
Speaker 1: think we're going to do our best to at least

1331
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:53,439
Speaker 1: give people some prior warning across our social media channels

1332
01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:56,280
Speaker 1: when we plan to put those tickets up. But it's

1333
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 1: gonna be one of those deals, Dan, where when we

1334
01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:01,120
Speaker 1: get the go ahead from our current the unnamed venue,

1335
01:12:01,280 --> 01:12:03,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna try and put those tickets out there into

1336
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:06,240
Speaker 1: the public sphere so people can start actually making plants

1337
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:06,960
Speaker 1: to come to Chicago.

1338
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:10,439
Speaker 2: Ty as we ramp up, this is my final question.
