<v Speaker 1>name is Ty Hildebrand, joining me as always from over

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 1>there in New York City. My good friend Dan Rubinstein,

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Sir how are you?

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Life is grand, Tye, life is wonderful. How are you doing?

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.959
<v Speaker 1>I am doing well. What are we doing tonight? Why

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:30.959
<v Speaker 1>do we both have this like shot of life in

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:31.559
<v Speaker 1>us tonight?

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh, narcotics. I have agreed sure to heavily invest in enthusiasm. No,

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 2>it is the beginning of our season preview series. We

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 2>are starting earlier because we are doing more of them.

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 2>We assume because people are listening to a college football show.

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 2>To maximize the amount of college football would be a

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 2>wise thing. So we are. We're quite excited. We are

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 2>going to do divisional previews, but we're gonna hop around

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 2>so tonight. As you know, because you've downloaded the episode

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.480
<v Speaker 2>and you've seen the title and you're an enthusiastic listener

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 2>and verbaler who has hopefully, if interested in has the

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 2>discretionary income, purchased a shirt to help support the show.

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 2>We are doing the ac C Atlantic Atlantic.

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 1>They listen, pause for a second. Can we invent some

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>sort of mnemonic device? Yeah, to help us keep the

0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.640
<v Speaker 1>two divisions of the ACC Street.

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.920
<v Speaker 2>I would say just ACC Fatlantic because they're fat with

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:36.800
<v Speaker 2>talent with Clemson and Florida State Fatlantic. The Fatlantic. They're

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 2>they're obese with blue chips, Fatlantic, Fatlantic. Don't. That's as

0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 2>good as I can do off the cuff tie. This

0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:48.720
<v Speaker 2>is not my thing, but this is the good news.

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:52.240
<v Speaker 2>We are not restricting ourselves to just the ACC Fatlantic.

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:57.920
<v Speaker 2>We are also doing the American West, which coincidentally features

0:02:58.120 --> 0:02:58.920
<v Speaker 2>no teams.

0:02:59.440 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, now it's in the American West.

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:06.960
<v Speaker 1>So we've got the AAC West ACC Fatlantic, Yeah, and

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 1>then the AAC West.

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:11.639
<v Speaker 2>Correct.

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:13.959
<v Speaker 1>We all starts of confusion going on here this evening.

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't have a device for that other than Ed

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:21.360
<v Speaker 2>Oliver is here for precisely four more months, and we

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 2>should celebrate that division because he is in it.

<v Speaker 2>about another week's worth of time that they're going to

<v Speaker 2>be available.

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Once they hit that time limit, they'll be officially off

0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:27.160

0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.160
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna roll some new ones out there. Yes, I'm

0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 1>keep rolling some new stuff out there. We're very excited

0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.599
<v Speaker 1>about the coming days and weeks at least on the

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>shirt store front. And finally, before we go any further,

0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.880
<v Speaker 1>we do need to mention that we believe we've secured

0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 1>a venue for the live show.

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 2>We do believe we are. We have agreed. The big

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 2>hold up with tickets is not really anyone's fault. It's

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.920
<v Speaker 2>more we're not controlled. The venue is controlling the ticketing,

0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:57.480
<v Speaker 2>that's right, So it's not necessarily our speed. We would

0:06:57.520 --> 0:06:59.800
<v Speaker 2>have liked to have started selling, liked to have started

0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 2>selling these a couple of weeks ago, but you know,

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 2>we really want the experience to be great, so we're

0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.719
<v Speaker 2>upping the venue type. That's right. We've been in the past,

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 2>so we're grown up.

0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 1>So we're classing it up a little bit here for

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.480
<v Speaker 1>a very regal occasion. As we've said time and time again,

0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.920
<v Speaker 1>should we dress up, it's going to be real growth.

0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 1>But we can change there. We could think about it,

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 1>we could talk more about this. Yes, maybe we can

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 1>use one of the social media channels to pull the

0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:32.320
<v Speaker 1>general public. But the Fantasy Things Draft, the Live Fantasy

0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Things Draft, we've got all sorts of fun tricks in

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:36.680
<v Speaker 1>the queue for that.

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Again.

0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:41.240
<v Speaker 1>August the eleventh, in Chicago, a currently unnamed venue but

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.560
<v Speaker 1>soon to be revealed, we will be selling tickets. Please

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 1>stay tuned first and foremost to our newsletter. We will

0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:49.240
<v Speaker 1>publish the link there first.

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it is August eleventh, which is Saturday, so you know,

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.880
<v Speaker 2>some people coming from outside of Chicago might be easier

0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.560
<v Speaker 2>to get to on a Saturday rather than a Thursday

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:03.520
<v Speaker 2>or Friday night, and tentatively seven to nine pm. Just

0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.320
<v Speaker 2>as for timing, in the back of your head, if

0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.080
<v Speaker 2>you plan on getting a ticket and coming, and we

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:11.320
<v Speaker 2>anticipate selling out pretty quickly, the good news is after

0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 2>the show, we plan on going to and announcing, you know,

0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:18.480
<v Speaker 2>on this show online whatever, We're going to go to

0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.200
<v Speaker 2>a bar and hang out even further. Because if there's

0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 2>one thing we believe in, it's we really like hanging

0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 2>with people who listen to the show totally. So that

0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 2>will be you know, we will publicize wherever we're we

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 2>figure out where we're going to go. So that's the

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 2>plan Saturday, August eleventh, Chicago, seven to nine pm with

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:38.959
<v Speaker 2>a an after bar situation because tynite we get hungry. Yeah, man,

<v Speaker 2>we get hungry talking.

0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.880
<v Speaker 1>From Yeah we did. We did last time, very very

0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:47.880
<v Speaker 1>famished after our live show in Atlanta, Okaya. With all

0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:49.880
<v Speaker 1>that out of the way, let's talk about the a

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 1>CC Fat Atlantic, Daniel Fatlantic. We're also trying something new.

0:08:56.760 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 1>We're not just previewing divisions this time around. We also

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:04.120
<v Speaker 1>looked at this very realistically. Okay, you and I were

0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 1>both married, we're both in our in our thirties. I

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:10.079
<v Speaker 1>suspect a lot of other folks listening around the country

0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.319
<v Speaker 1>and world are in a very similar position. The lead

0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Busy lives right. The question is, if you're a big

0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 1>ten fan, why the hell should you care about the

0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:24.400
<v Speaker 1>ACC FA Atlantic? Why should Why should you care?

0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Right, it's a good question.

0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:29.840
<v Speaker 1>We kick that around World Cup style, you know, we

0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 1>raced to the corner. We kind of kicked it around

0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:34.800
<v Speaker 1>and before kicking it out of bounds to waste a

0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:38.120
<v Speaker 1>little more time, we said, yeah, we kind of like

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:42.079
<v Speaker 1>that theme. Dan, Why should you care? Is what we're

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:42.840
<v Speaker 1>going for here.

0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, odds are if you're listening to this show, you

0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:49.560
<v Speaker 2>are not an ACC Atlantic fan because there's so much

0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:52.640
<v Speaker 2>beyond the ACC Atlantic. But we are here to let

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 2>you know that college football is an excellent TV show

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.439
<v Speaker 2>and it just has a ton of characters that are

0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.240
<v Speaker 2>worth diving into their backstory. So that's why we are

0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.240
<v Speaker 2>trying to figure out essentially the care factor for the

0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:06.360
<v Speaker 2>ACC Atlantic and for individual teams and storylines. And we

0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:10.880
<v Speaker 2>will do the same for the American the American Athletic Conference,

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:12.960
<v Speaker 2>just the American West tig.

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:20.240
<v Speaker 1>That's right on that note, Let's talk about your A

0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 1>C C Atlantic and let's start at the very top

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:28.880
<v Speaker 1>with the Clemson Tigers. Dan, they went eleven to one

0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:33.760
<v Speaker 1>last year in the regular season, they won the ACC,

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:38.319
<v Speaker 1>they qualified for the playoff. Couldn't move the ball against

0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Alabama in the first round of the College Football Playoff.

0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:44.800
<v Speaker 1>They lost twenty four to six if memory serves, and

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 1>their season finished up at twelve and two. All things

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:50.760
<v Speaker 1>being equal, that's pretty damn good year, is it not.

0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it's excellence. It's another year of Clemson excellence. And

0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 2>on top of everything, it is worth noting that they're

0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 2>attrition aside from quarterback, you know, losing Hunter Johnson Northwestern,

0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:08.520
<v Speaker 2>but the attrition within the program, coaches, support staff has

0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:12.520
<v Speaker 2>been so minimal and it has to be considered a

0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:17.080
<v Speaker 2>huge factor in not just attracting talent, but as we've

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:20.720
<v Speaker 2>seen with this defensive line, keeping talent comfortable.

0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:25.200
<v Speaker 1>They're like the Western Conference of the NBA. But yeah,

0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:26.640
<v Speaker 1>all on one team.

0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Basically, what's worth caring about with Clemson is on the surface,

0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:34.280
<v Speaker 2>it's pretty obvious they're stacked everywhere. It's defensive line porn.

0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:36.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, we have Trevor Lawrence coming in as a

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.880
<v Speaker 2>true freshman and everybody raving about his ceiling. I think

0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.360
<v Speaker 2>justifiably so inasmuch as we can determine in an off

0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:47.079
<v Speaker 2>season without actual live football, but clearly there is there

0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:50.760
<v Speaker 2>is some nugget of potential that is pretty tantalizing with

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:54.080
<v Speaker 2>him and Kelly Bryant certainly had a pretty terrific year

0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:57.160
<v Speaker 2>for a first year quarterback, gets beat up, struggles mightily

0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:00.240
<v Speaker 2>against Alabama, which leads to this sort of window for

0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Trevor Lawrence, the incoming or he's already there, the five

0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:06.240
<v Speaker 2>star true freshman quarterback. They have that fun early road test,

0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.560
<v Speaker 2>going to Kyle Field to play texts A and M.

0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:14.160
<v Speaker 2>And if that all doesn't excite you, you always will

0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:17.319
<v Speaker 2>have Florida State Clemson to look forward to. And this

0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:21.320
<v Speaker 2>will be This Florida State Clemson game will be the

0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:24.439
<v Speaker 2>first and it's in Tallahassee. It's a week after NC

0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:28.240
<v Speaker 2>State measuring stick for Willy Taggart. It's not a measuring

0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.760
<v Speaker 2>stick anymore at this point with what Conson has accomplished

0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:34.560
<v Speaker 2>for the Tigers, but for Florida State, this is the

0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:39.920
<v Speaker 2>first big Willy Taggart Power five moment. Consider the injuries

0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:42.480
<v Speaker 2>he had last year at Oregon and this is not

0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:45.520
<v Speaker 2>his team. And we'll get to Florida State momentarily, but

0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 2>there's a ton to care about and I will turn

0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:52.160
<v Speaker 2>it over to you Ty. With this schedule, which is tricky.

0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.200
<v Speaker 2>At A and M, they go to Georgia Tech to

0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 2>Florida State. They have an NC State team with a

0:12:56.400 --> 0:13:00.560
<v Speaker 2>really good quarterback. Do you think if the quarterback is

0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:04.840
<v Speaker 2>merely pretty good, which I think is a pretty high

0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.320
<v Speaker 2>floor for Clemson, is that good enough to get to

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.600
<v Speaker 2>the playoff without great quarterback play.

0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, this is a better team than last year. And

0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:18.840
<v Speaker 1>that's saying something. We just went through the full gamut

0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:22.000
<v Speaker 1>of how they went twelve and two. They've got most

0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:25.760
<v Speaker 1>of their team back, especially on defense, and you mentioned

0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Kelly Bryant. He got them there last year. But yet

0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:32.200
<v Speaker 1>I went I posted a picture last night on the

0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Instagram account. I picked up Phil Steele's magazine, right, you

0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:41.640
<v Speaker 1>remember Phil Steele, the Real Steele Dossier of college football.

0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:47.680
<v Speaker 1>He's got true freshman Trevor Lawrence as his projected starter.

0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I am fascinated because it's not just the Phil Steele

0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.440
<v Speaker 1>magazine where I've seen this. I've seen this in a

0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:59.720
<v Speaker 1>bunch of places, just outwardly projecting Trevor Lawrence probably going

0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.320
<v Speaker 1>to be starting quarterback at some point before the end

0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:05.000
<v Speaker 1>of the season. It's almost as if nobody wants Kelly

0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:07.959
<v Speaker 1>Bryant to be the starting quarterback, and yet he had

0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:10.240
<v Speaker 1>a pretty good year. He did stumble a bit down

0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:13.840
<v Speaker 1>the stretch, but again, a pretty good season got Clemson

0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:17.880
<v Speaker 1>to the College Football Playoff. He clearly did something right,

0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:19.640
<v Speaker 1>yet no one seems to want to give him the

0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 1>nod here and that interests me. That makes me very interesting.

0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:26.120
<v Speaker 1>I care a little bit more about Clemson because there's

0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.600
<v Speaker 1>a guy who got him to incredible heights last year

0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:30.560
<v Speaker 1>and yet no one's giving him benefit of the doubts.

0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:33.600
<v Speaker 1>So better team than last year. That's one reason to care.

0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Second reason to care is the whole Kelly Bryant thing,

0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:39.400
<v Speaker 1>which I find terribly fascinating. And then the third for

0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:43.880
<v Speaker 1>me is the defensive line porn which you reference earlier.

0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:49.320
<v Speaker 1>We'll play that again. Cleveland Farrell, who we mentioned in

0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:53.800
<v Speaker 1>an earlier podcast episode, and Austin Bryant, both of them

0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:58.000
<v Speaker 1>manning their respective side of the defensive line, and then

0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Dexter Lawrence and Christian will Bans back in the middle

0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.920
<v Speaker 1>to sort of firm up the CD underbelly of what

0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:10.000
<v Speaker 1>is clearly the best defensive line in the country. Yeah,

0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:12.440
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of reason they're to be very excited

0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.200
<v Speaker 1>about Clemson. And oh, by the way, Dan, the schedule

0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:19.840
<v Speaker 1>does not scare me at all. It just it. This

0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.640
<v Speaker 1>is why my answer maybe was off hand to your

0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.760
<v Speaker 1>question of, well, if they get respectable quarterback plays, it

0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:29.240
<v Speaker 1>enough to get them back to where they were. The

0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.760
<v Speaker 1>early game against A and M will probably tell us

0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.280
<v Speaker 1>more about A and M than Clemson. I'm just not

0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:36.640
<v Speaker 1>worried about that game at all. The two games that

0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I think you watch. You mentioned the Florida State one.

0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I think you're right, it probably says more about Florida

0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.800
<v Speaker 1>State than it does Clemson. But it is on the road.

0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:49.040
<v Speaker 1>It is Halloween weekend in Tallahassee. The road team in

0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.080
<v Speaker 1>that series is just three and thirteen since two thousand

0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:55.640
<v Speaker 1>and two, for whatever that's worth. The other one is

0:15:55.680 --> 0:16:01.880
<v Speaker 1>at Boston College on November tenth. Clemson's slipped walked, slipped

0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:05.320
<v Speaker 1>walked the last time they went to Chestnut Hill, and

0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I think it's an interesting matchup because Boston College is

0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:11.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe the best offensive line in the conference, Clemson the

0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:16.040
<v Speaker 1>defensive line in the conference. But otherwise it sets up

0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:19.160
<v Speaker 1>perfectly for Clemson again in twenty eighteen. They've got so

0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:22.040
<v Speaker 1>much working for them, and they are, quite frankly, a

0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:23.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of reasons to care.

0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:28.160
<v Speaker 2>So interestingly, I think Trevor Lawrence is in a similar situation,

0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:30.880
<v Speaker 2>maybe as JT. Daniels like. He may not start right away,

0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:36.080
<v Speaker 2>but by I don't know, wake in early October could

0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:39.520
<v Speaker 2>be starting and playing different series. If he is starting

0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.320
<v Speaker 2>at texts A and M, that becomes trickier to me.

0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.040
<v Speaker 2>That is still a tough place to play. Nobody really

0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:46.720
<v Speaker 2>knows what this text A and M defense is going

0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:49.440
<v Speaker 2>to look like. Immediately with Mike Elko, the offense is

0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:52.040
<v Speaker 2>going to look different. So there's a mystery factor with

0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:55.920
<v Speaker 2>a new true freshman quarterback that is a little bit worrisome.

0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Trip up point going not going too but hosting NC State,

0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:03.320
<v Speaker 2>and then the thing I would have circled, and this

0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.359
<v Speaker 2>is not we're not unretiring anything, but in terms of

0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:09.600
<v Speaker 2>trip up, losing at Syracuse, losing two pit the past

0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:13.040
<v Speaker 2>couple of years, teams Clemson probably shouldn't lose to teams

0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.200
<v Speaker 2>that you know Pitt was fine. Certainly a couple of

0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:17.720
<v Speaker 2>years ago they were. They were pretty good with James Connor.

0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.680
<v Speaker 2>I would circle going to Chestnut Hill. As you mentioned,

0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:25.280
<v Speaker 2>that's it's November ten. I don't listen. Clemson's favorite. They

0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:27.359
<v Speaker 2>should be favored, they should win but in terms of

0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:32.920
<v Speaker 2>trip up, you have NC State at Florida State Louisville,

0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.679
<v Speaker 2>which could be a shootouty type team. We'll get to

0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:40.760
<v Speaker 2>them before traveling to Boston. It'll be cold November tenth.

0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:43.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't know. We could go to Boston

0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:44.440
<v Speaker 1>College next.

0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:45.359
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to Boston College.

0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to Boston College next.

0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:49.320
<v Speaker 2>That's the trip up point because they have South Carolina

0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:51.359
<v Speaker 2>at home a week after Duke and so everything is

0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:53.440
<v Speaker 2>it's a little even though we like South Carolina, we'll

0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.200
<v Speaker 2>get to that whenever it is that we do the

0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:58.120
<v Speaker 2>SEC East. That is my pick for a trip up.

0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:03.000
<v Speaker 1>See. I almost feel more confident in that Boston College

0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.240
<v Speaker 1>game as a trip up point than I do Florida State.

0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:08.680
<v Speaker 2>And I know that they're gonna take Florida's say very seriously.

0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:12.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know that might defy logic, but again, last

0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:14.960
<v Speaker 1>time they were in Chestnut Hill, Clemson had some issues.

0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:18.080
<v Speaker 1>They ended up blowing them out, but had some issues

0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:21.480
<v Speaker 1>in that game. There is reason to be optimistic about

0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Boston College this year, and it wouldn't be the first

0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:26.840
<v Speaker 1>time that they took a team like Clemson too the wire.

0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:29.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I think they were just sort of ahead

0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:31.400
<v Speaker 2>by twenty one or something and took their foot off

0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:33.560
<v Speaker 2>the gas in Boston College score. You know it wasn't

0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:37.000
<v Speaker 2>there was no there was no fear. I don't think

0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:38.760
<v Speaker 2>from Clemson they're actually to lose that game.

0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:41.600
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, so we got we got reason to be

0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:46.439
<v Speaker 1>very excited and care about Clemson. We agree, We absolutely agree.

0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I think they're poised for another run, not just the

0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:56.560
<v Speaker 1>ACC Fatlantic, not just the ACC Conference, but certainly look

0:18:56.600 --> 0:19:01.280
<v Speaker 1>a top five finish in the polls, probably a playoff

0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Berth if all goes according to the plan. Is a

0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:07.840
<v Speaker 1>very exciting season for the Tigers that we've got a foot.

0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Just on a personal level, I'm very excited to see

0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.879
<v Speaker 1>t Higgins and what he looks like out at wide receiver,

0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:16.840
<v Speaker 1>big target. If he gets more targets, let's see what

0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:18.920
<v Speaker 1>he can do. He averaged over twenty yards per catch

0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:20.760
<v Speaker 1>last year. Just throwing that out there.

0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:23.600
<v Speaker 2>I do have a good nickname for Hunter renfro Oh,

0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:28.680
<v Speaker 2>and that nickname is still there. Touchdown, still there.

0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's move on to Boston College as promised.

0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:34.879
<v Speaker 2>Can you give me a Clemson record regular season record

0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:36.760
<v Speaker 2>like before, a potential a SEC.

0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:38.639
<v Speaker 1>Championship, they're going undefeated.

0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:39.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I have him ten and two.

0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:41.680
<v Speaker 1>They're going undefeated this year.

0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Yep, okay, just agree two losses. Wow, yep, I have

0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:48.760
<v Speaker 2>a trip up and either South Carolina, Texas A and

0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:51.080
<v Speaker 2>m Florida State.

0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:53.439
<v Speaker 1>Go to Boston College. It went seven to five a

0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:59.040
<v Speaker 1>year ago. How is it that Boston College has the

0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:02.120
<v Speaker 1>same team every year? Have we thought about this at all?

0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Just a defense populated with eleven Harold landries every year.

0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:09.760
<v Speaker 1>It's like I was thinking about it a little bit,

0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:12.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, when you buy the new version of Madden

0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:16.480
<v Speaker 1>and like, oh, maybe it'll be this different this year. Nope,

0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:20.080
<v Speaker 1>not really. Kind of the same thing every year you

0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:24.000
<v Speaker 1>turn off the passing cone. Yep, same thing every year.

0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Boston College, to me, could be a five and seven team.

0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:31.359
<v Speaker 1>They could be a seven and five team. M hm,

0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:35.200
<v Speaker 1>depending on how things break. That being said, they might

0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:38.520
<v Speaker 1>be the most interesting team in the ACC all year.

0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Are you saying that because they play a pat League

0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:44.800
<v Speaker 2>team week two? Just have an extra little spice, like

0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.719
<v Speaker 2>seasoning little spice on them. Yeah, they play Holy Cross.

0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:49.440
<v Speaker 1>It is a little bit of pezaz for sure.

0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:54.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Okay, walk me through the variables between five and

0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:55.360
<v Speaker 2>seven and eight and four.

0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, so the offense last year was lousy but outside

0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:03.680
<v Speaker 1>but still better. Yeah, outside AJ Dillon, the offense was

0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:07.119
<v Speaker 1>lousy but still on the whole better than it was

0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:10.440
<v Speaker 1>the year prior in twenty sixteen. And so this year

0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:13.800
<v Speaker 1>they bring back ten starters, including their entire offensive line

0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:16.240
<v Speaker 1>and AJ Dillon who rushed for sixteen hundred yards and

0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:21.480
<v Speaker 1>fourteen touchdowns. They really truly should be better than they

0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:24.320
<v Speaker 1>were a year ago. The X factor, of course, being

0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Brown a quarterback. If he can stay healthy, if

0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:31.160
<v Speaker 1>he can be a little bit more productive, it's easier

0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:34.520
<v Speaker 1>to buy into some of the thinking that Boston College

0:21:34.560 --> 0:21:36.720
<v Speaker 1>is not only going to be a seven win maybe

0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:39.720
<v Speaker 1>an eight win team, but also that they could trap

0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:44.440
<v Speaker 1>a team like Clemson. That makes it easier to buy into. Defensively,

0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:47.600
<v Speaker 1>they'll be fine because they're always fine on defense, right,

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Like that's just what they do. They've got a good

0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:55.480
<v Speaker 1>defense every year, seemingly with one bona fide star this year,

0:21:55.480 --> 0:22:01.480
<v Speaker 1>you're dood alert is going to be Zach your defensive end.

0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:04.720
<v Speaker 2>So nice to hear that, sound, ty, thank you, You're

0:22:04.800 --> 0:22:05.400
<v Speaker 2>very welcome.

0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:09.199
<v Speaker 1>He might be the only non Clemson defensive lineman to

0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:13.520
<v Speaker 1>achieve true accolades, a true spotlight because he is so

0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:17.520
<v Speaker 1>damn good Zach Allen along the defensive line, defensive end,

0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:21.399
<v Speaker 1>and I'm also interested. I think the big X factor,

0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:23.280
<v Speaker 1>the big variable for them is the second half of

0:22:23.280 --> 0:22:26.160
<v Speaker 1>the schedule because it's downright brutal. They've got a stretch

0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:28.200
<v Speaker 1>where they've got Miami at home, they go on the

0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.320
<v Speaker 1>road to Virginia Tech, Clemson at home, and then on

0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:35.160
<v Speaker 1>the road against Florida State. M hmm. There's a lot

0:22:35.200 --> 0:22:37.240
<v Speaker 1>going on here for Boston College, a lot of reason

0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:43.440
<v Speaker 1>to be I think somewhat caring about this season. Where

0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:43.960
<v Speaker 1>do you stand?

0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:48.480
<v Speaker 2>So they could start, they could be ranked by mid October.

0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:52.440
<v Speaker 2>So it's UMass holy Cross at Wake, at Purdue, Temple,

0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:56.120
<v Speaker 2>at NC State, and then Louisville. They beat Louisville. Last year.

0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:58.920
<v Speaker 2>AJ Dillon runs wild. They lose by three, a low

0:22:58.960 --> 0:23:02.200
<v Speaker 2>scoring game against end State Temple. I'm not super high

0:23:02.240 --> 0:23:04.880
<v Speaker 2>on Purdue can be run all over with a new

0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:07.920
<v Speaker 2>defense early on with AJ Dillon. Wake has a new

0:23:07.920 --> 0:23:09.919
<v Speaker 2>look defense and loses a bunch up front. And not

0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:12.720
<v Speaker 2>worried about you Mass holy Cross. So starting five and one,

0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:16.720
<v Speaker 2>six in one, if everything breaks right, in close games

0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:19.760
<v Speaker 2>is kind of not crazy with a solid defense, a

0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:23.560
<v Speaker 2>really good running game, and unfortunately a quarterback if you

0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:26.960
<v Speaker 2>only watched the Florida State game last year, quarterback needs

0:23:26.960 --> 0:23:30.119
<v Speaker 2>some work. That's the sort of big X factor at

0:23:30.160 --> 0:23:32.400
<v Speaker 2>this point. And you were right to sort of mention

0:23:32.520 --> 0:23:36.240
<v Speaker 2>the brutal back half of the season with Miami, Virginia Tech, Cleans,

0:23:36.240 --> 0:23:39.119
<v Speaker 2>and FSU before getting which should be a nice and

0:23:39.160 --> 0:23:43.840
<v Speaker 2>soft Syracuse defense late. I actually don't mind Syracuse defensive line.

0:23:43.840 --> 0:23:48.720
<v Speaker 2>We'll get there. But I think Boston College, if nothing else,

0:23:48.880 --> 0:23:54.080
<v Speaker 2>why you should care is because they were putrid. Wake

0:23:54.119 --> 0:23:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Forest was putrid. And as we look at the ACC

0:23:58.520 --> 0:24:00.919
<v Speaker 2>as a whole right now, and I did some of

0:24:00.920 --> 0:24:03.400
<v Speaker 2>this with the d analytics stuff and the points per

0:24:03.480 --> 0:24:07.480
<v Speaker 2>drive differential, whatever the case, the bottom of the ACC

0:24:08.560 --> 0:24:13.000
<v Speaker 2>is sort of garbage free. If we believe in North Carolina,

0:24:13.000 --> 0:24:15.880
<v Speaker 2>which we will eventually get to improving to at least

0:24:15.880 --> 0:24:20.240
<v Speaker 2>below average the bottom of the ACC, and Boston College

0:24:20.280 --> 0:24:23.439
<v Speaker 2>is squarely in the middle of the ACC. It's a

0:24:23.560 --> 0:24:27.160
<v Speaker 2>nice situation. It's a competitive conference, ty, That's what I'm

0:24:27.200 --> 0:24:29.479
<v Speaker 2>trying to tell you right now. And the fact that

0:24:29.560 --> 0:24:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Boston College is a big reason for making that jump

0:24:33.000 --> 0:24:35.879
<v Speaker 2>and making it a competitive conference, perhaps the most competitive

0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:38.719
<v Speaker 2>in the widest middle class of any conference is a

0:24:38.760 --> 0:24:43.680
<v Speaker 2>cool story that Steve Adazio has incrementally found the dudes

0:24:44.880 --> 0:24:48.480
<v Speaker 2>to get things like, there's nothing worse than rooting for

0:24:48.560 --> 0:24:50.919
<v Speaker 2>a team. Trust, I've rooted for a Brady hook defense.

0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:51.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you've done this.

0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:56.359
<v Speaker 2>This is something I've invested in that. And you can

0:24:56.760 --> 0:24:59.479
<v Speaker 2>be down on a number of factors about Boston College

0:24:59.520 --> 0:25:02.879
<v Speaker 2>just in terms of talent level and sealing whatever. This

0:25:02.960 --> 0:25:06.000
<v Speaker 2>is a competitive team and that's a great reason to

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:10.760
<v Speaker 2>care that college football can afford us improvement, so that

0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:12.760
<v Speaker 2>if you are a fan of a team that has

0:25:12.800 --> 0:25:16.600
<v Speaker 2>disappointed you for a number of years, that there is hope. Tie.

0:25:16.960 --> 0:25:19.480
<v Speaker 2>And that's that's what's really cool about Boston College. They're

0:25:19.640 --> 0:25:23.800
<v Speaker 2>solid everywhere, they're not great anywhere specifically, and that'll make

0:25:23.800 --> 0:25:25.480
<v Speaker 2>for a fun season and they're going to scare the

0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:27.680
<v Speaker 2>living crap out of Clemson. Tie. I am ian.

0:25:27.960 --> 0:25:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, if you're so, okay, let's build on that. Okay,

0:25:32.240 --> 0:25:36.840
<v Speaker 1>if you're looking for a potential scare in the ACC

0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:41.159
<v Speaker 1>for Atlantic as we're now calling it, Yes, in November,

0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Boston College is a team you should care about because

0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:48.439
<v Speaker 1>not only do they have Clemson, as we discuss, but

0:25:48.480 --> 0:25:51.520
<v Speaker 1>they also have a road game at Florida State. Now,

0:25:51.560 --> 0:25:54.680
<v Speaker 1>we talked a lot in recent weeks about this game

0:25:54.720 --> 0:25:59.359
<v Speaker 1>in Tallahassee on November the seventeenth, specifically whether or not

0:25:59.440 --> 0:26:02.400
<v Speaker 1>it's a it's a trap game right for Florida State.

0:26:02.840 --> 0:26:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Sure, letdown.

0:26:04.600 --> 0:26:07.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I if I really see it,

0:26:07.240 --> 0:26:10.159
<v Speaker 1>if I really feel it into my core, but I

0:26:10.200 --> 0:26:13.399
<v Speaker 1>am starting to talk myself into it. I'm starting to

0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:16.600
<v Speaker 1>talk myself into it just by by sheer nature of

0:26:16.640 --> 0:26:19.480
<v Speaker 1>it being a let down. Look ahead, Sandwich, you got Dunstan.

0:26:21.840 --> 0:26:27.439
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about Oh, Boston College it for sure, they

0:26:27.480 --> 0:26:30.399
<v Speaker 1>get Florida State a week after the Knowles go to

0:26:30.480 --> 0:26:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame in a week before Florida comes to.

0:26:33.800 --> 0:26:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Talent correct is new coaches.

0:26:35.800 --> 0:26:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, clearly a rivalry in the state of Florida. Meanwhile,

0:26:39.800 --> 0:26:42.120
<v Speaker 1>in between Boston College, they're going to be physical, they're

0:26:42.119 --> 0:26:45.919
<v Speaker 1>going to run with AJ Dillon, They're going to play defense. Sorry,

0:26:45.920 --> 0:26:48.080
<v Speaker 1>and a sort of talk myself into this a little

0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:48.480
<v Speaker 1>bit here.

0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and Florida State is not where they were in

0:26:52.400 --> 0:26:56.360
<v Speaker 2>terms of the stacked experienced talent where they were four

0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:58.680
<v Speaker 2>or five years ago. On defense, they're replacing all of

0:26:58.680 --> 0:27:02.240
<v Speaker 2>their linebackers. Up front, They've got really good pass rushers.

0:27:02.920 --> 0:27:05.720
<v Speaker 2>I really like their starting defensive tackles. But in terms

0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:09.119
<v Speaker 2>of what they're rotating in and out, they might be

0:27:09.160 --> 0:27:11.200
<v Speaker 2>able to be run on a week after Notre Dame

0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:13.480
<v Speaker 2>and should we should.

0:27:13.960 --> 0:27:15.760
<v Speaker 1>We just move on over to Florida State.

0:27:15.560 --> 0:27:17.359
<v Speaker 2>Here, let's go, let's go to Florida State. Give me

0:27:17.480 --> 0:27:24.399
<v Speaker 2>your final record prediction, which nobody's gonna hold you to account.

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:25.440
<v Speaker 1>College six and six.

0:27:27.119 --> 0:27:28.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go seven and five.

0:27:29.200 --> 0:27:33.120
<v Speaker 1>It's somewhere in that five to seven win cone there.

0:27:33.560 --> 0:27:36.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they feel like the Ron Swanson of the Fatlantic.

0:27:36.400 --> 0:27:39.879
<v Speaker 1>Just sturdy, very sturdy. Okay, let's go to Let's go

0:27:39.920 --> 0:27:44.399
<v Speaker 1>to Florida State. Florida State in transition, to say the least,

0:27:44.440 --> 0:27:47.800
<v Speaker 1>they went six and six a year ago.

0:27:47.920 --> 0:27:48.160
<v Speaker 2>Dan.

0:27:48.280 --> 0:27:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Now they bring on Willie Taggart, remember their dream job scenario.

0:27:54.320 --> 0:27:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Perhaps I would like to be the first to coin

0:27:58.359 --> 0:28:01.960
<v Speaker 1>the term the baby Knoles because they've got about three

0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:05.679
<v Speaker 1>seniors in their entire projected lineup. I think that bodes

0:28:05.840 --> 0:28:09.439
<v Speaker 1>very well for Willy Taggert year two. But what it

0:28:09.720 --> 0:28:13.320
<v Speaker 1>means in Willy Taggert year one remains to be seen. Sure,

0:28:14.000 --> 0:28:18.520
<v Speaker 1>So Daniel, I will ask you, tell me why should

0:28:18.520 --> 0:28:20.640
<v Speaker 1>we care about Florida State? Give me some reasons.

0:28:21.840 --> 0:28:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Cam Akers is the place for me. Cam Akers ran

0:28:28.640 --> 0:28:32.280
<v Speaker 2>behind a not that good offensive line last year, and

0:28:32.320 --> 0:28:34.160
<v Speaker 2>there's no reason to believe. I know, you know they're

0:28:34.160 --> 0:28:36.560
<v Speaker 2>gonna be healthier, but there's no reasonably it'll be dramatically

0:28:36.600 --> 0:28:39.000
<v Speaker 2>better other than the fact that, you know, maybe they'll

0:28:39.000 --> 0:28:41.040
<v Speaker 2>play a little bit faster. So that's sort of that

0:28:41.160 --> 0:28:45.080
<v Speaker 2>mystery invisible sixth offensive lineman on the field. Tempo, So

0:28:45.560 --> 0:28:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Temple should Tempo not Temple. I hope Temple doesn't help

0:28:48.440 --> 0:28:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Florida State. Tempo should help cam Akers as he gets

0:28:51.480 --> 0:28:54.400
<v Speaker 2>bigger and faster and more experienced. We saw the success

0:28:54.520 --> 0:28:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Royce Freeman had last year in this Willy Taggart offense.

0:28:57.600 --> 0:29:01.360
<v Speaker 2>The year before that, Marlon mack At was a force

0:29:01.400 --> 0:29:04.160
<v Speaker 2>to be reckoned with. So just if there is a

0:29:04.240 --> 0:29:08.160
<v Speaker 2>single reason, it is that cam Akers can win the

0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Heisman with the talent and if they have any sort

0:29:11.680 --> 0:29:14.240
<v Speaker 2>of semblance of a passing game. Whoever wins that quarterback job,

0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:17.200
<v Speaker 2>he will be put in a good position. You know,

0:29:17.240 --> 0:29:19.719
<v Speaker 2>this is the Willy Taggert dream job. As you said, Ty,

0:29:19.920 --> 0:29:23.760
<v Speaker 2>anytime you can compare a new coach to Randy Edsel's

0:29:23.760 --> 0:29:26.880
<v Speaker 2>situation at Maryland, I think you have to do it

0:29:27.480 --> 0:29:32.000
<v Speaker 2>and absolute mind ourselves with Willy Taggart. And I would

0:29:32.080 --> 0:29:34.920
<v Speaker 2>add just because this is something we don't see all

0:29:34.960 --> 0:29:37.600
<v Speaker 2>that often. There have been I think four teams to

0:29:37.640 --> 0:29:42.120
<v Speaker 2>win a national championship since twenty eleven, Alabama, Clemson, Florida State,

0:29:42.960 --> 0:29:47.520
<v Speaker 2>and Ohio State unless I'm missing somebody, And so a

0:29:47.600 --> 0:29:50.560
<v Speaker 2>team on that level as Florida State is, with the

0:29:50.600 --> 0:29:53.560
<v Speaker 2>ability to bring in a ton of talent, should be

0:29:53.600 --> 0:29:56.160
<v Speaker 2>winning double digit games every year. They are a blue

0:29:56.160 --> 0:29:59.720
<v Speaker 2>blood in college football. We don't get to see a

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:02.800
<v Speaker 2>reboot like we're seeing at Florida State all that often,

0:30:03.440 --> 0:30:04.960
<v Speaker 2>and that to me is a little bit fascinating. And

0:30:05.000 --> 0:30:06.560
<v Speaker 2>even if you're a Washington fan, even if you're a

0:30:06.600 --> 0:30:08.880
<v Speaker 2>San Diego State fan, even if you're a Texas Tech fan,

0:30:09.440 --> 0:30:11.680
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of interesting to see what Florida State does

0:30:11.720 --> 0:30:14.160
<v Speaker 2>when they have this full reboot period for the second

0:30:14.200 --> 0:30:16.479
<v Speaker 2>time in about a decade, which is kind of crazy

0:30:16.480 --> 0:30:17.200
<v Speaker 2>for a blue blood.

0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:19.400
<v Speaker 1>But here we are I you know, I think I

0:30:20.000 --> 0:30:22.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of agree with you. I think of when the

0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Yankees decided to blow it up a couple of years ago,

0:30:25.400 --> 0:30:30.320
<v Speaker 1>two years ago now, it ended up yielding fruit sooner

0:30:30.360 --> 0:30:32.360
<v Speaker 1>than they thought. In the Yankees case, we're not a

0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:33.560
<v Speaker 1>baseball show here.

0:30:33.400 --> 0:30:35.120
<v Speaker 2>But I'll take your word for it.

0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Could that could that ultimately be the same kind of

0:30:39.200 --> 0:30:41.720
<v Speaker 1>thing for Florida State this season. Now, Lord knows, they've

0:30:41.720 --> 0:30:46.680
<v Speaker 1>got plenty of talent. They're loaded still on defense and

0:30:46.760 --> 0:30:50.280
<v Speaker 1>really all across the field. Here. What will be the

0:30:50.320 --> 0:30:53.600
<v Speaker 1>limiting factor for Florida State will be the schedule. Will

0:30:53.600 --> 0:30:57.000
<v Speaker 1>be the schedule. First game of the year against Virginia

0:30:57.040 --> 0:31:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Tech at home. That's a pretty big game. Big game

0:31:00.280 --> 0:31:02.760
<v Speaker 1>helps at it's at home. But still they've got a

0:31:02.880 --> 0:31:07.680
<v Speaker 1>road spot against Syracuse, which we'll talk about Syracuse. There's

0:31:07.720 --> 0:31:10.200
<v Speaker 1>not a lot to write home about, but the Carrier

0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Dome is a very weird place to play, very true

0:31:13.640 --> 0:31:16.640
<v Speaker 1>at Miami Week six. Miami should still be pretty solid.

0:31:17.120 --> 0:31:18.280
<v Speaker 2>Then they've got it should be good.

0:31:18.480 --> 0:31:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they've got this stretch later on in the year,

0:31:21.480 --> 0:31:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Clemson at nc State in what may end up being

0:31:26.120 --> 0:31:28.800
<v Speaker 1>a let down look ahead spot. We'll have to talk

0:31:28.800 --> 0:31:32.160
<v Speaker 1>about them when we get there at Notre Dame Boston

0:31:32.200 --> 0:31:37.640
<v Speaker 1>College and then Florida. Nine wins in that schedule would

0:31:37.680 --> 0:31:40.400
<v Speaker 1>be a masterful job for Willie Taggert, would it not.

0:31:40.600 --> 0:31:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, with quarterback uncertainty and installing everything new that

0:31:46.600 --> 0:31:50.560
<v Speaker 2>the defense is switching up pretty dramatically, and outside of

0:31:50.640 --> 0:31:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Lavonta Taylor, you know, it's a pretty decent quarterback conference

0:31:55.200 --> 0:31:57.840
<v Speaker 2>and a pretty decent quarterback schedule for Florida State, and

0:31:57.880 --> 0:32:02.440
<v Speaker 2>having secondary question is not the best. So yes, if

0:32:02.480 --> 0:32:05.920
<v Speaker 2>he wins nine games with that schedule, especially how it

0:32:06.000 --> 0:32:08.560
<v Speaker 2>rolls up at the end. And I really do like

0:32:09.280 --> 0:32:12.080
<v Speaker 2>some of I like the ones a lot pretty much everywhere.

0:32:12.120 --> 0:32:15.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't love receiver, but you know, Marvin Wilson sliding

0:32:15.320 --> 0:32:17.560
<v Speaker 2>in there. Brian Burns is a very good defensive end,

0:32:17.640 --> 0:32:21.280
<v Speaker 2>as is Caneo. So there's a lot to love ceiling

0:32:21.320 --> 0:32:25.440
<v Speaker 2>wise about Florida State. But growing pains wise, you're right,

0:32:25.560 --> 0:32:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Going to Miami, going to Louisville.

0:32:27.520 --> 0:32:29.160
<v Speaker 1>It's real tough, real tough.

0:32:29.200 --> 0:32:31.000
<v Speaker 2>It's just a lot of road time, it's a lot

0:32:31.000 --> 0:32:33.000
<v Speaker 2>of it's a lot of plane, it's a lot of

0:32:33.280 --> 0:32:35.960
<v Speaker 2>hotel bed. It's it's not my favorite. If I'm a

0:32:36.000 --> 0:32:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Florida State.

0:32:36.520 --> 0:32:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Fan, the Baby Noles road tour will be something to

0:32:39.760 --> 0:32:43.720
<v Speaker 1>care about in twenty eighteen very quickly, because we do

0:32:43.840 --> 0:32:46.200
<v Speaker 1>have to pay some of the bills, and we do

0:32:46.320 --> 0:32:50.000
<v Speaker 1>have what four other teams in the ACC Fatlantic we

0:32:50.040 --> 0:32:54.440
<v Speaker 1>need to get to before we talk about the AAC West.

0:32:55.000 --> 0:33:00.400
<v Speaker 1>What can Florida State fans expect from Willie Taggert? What

0:33:00.440 --> 0:33:04.400
<v Speaker 1>will look different from what we saw last year and

0:33:05.160 --> 0:33:07.400
<v Speaker 1>the many years prior under Jimbo Fisher.

0:33:07.960 --> 0:33:13.400
<v Speaker 2>At least one solid year of hard work, I can

0:33:13.680 --> 0:33:16.880
<v Speaker 2>guarantee you. Actually, no, I shouldn't say that, because I

0:33:16.960 --> 0:33:19.000
<v Speaker 2>think it was just under a year, but at least

0:33:19.080 --> 0:33:23.840
<v Speaker 2>eleven months, Okay, a very hard work and dedication to

0:33:23.920 --> 0:33:27.080
<v Speaker 2>the program. Now, what they can expect, obviously is something

0:33:27.080 --> 0:33:29.800
<v Speaker 2>they've already seen. He will recruit very well throughout. So

0:33:29.880 --> 0:33:32.960
<v Speaker 2>that's off the field, he hired pretty well. I know

0:33:33.000 --> 0:33:35.200
<v Speaker 2>this staff didn't come together as he would have as

0:33:35.240 --> 0:33:38.120
<v Speaker 2>he would have liked. But on field stuff, they're going

0:33:38.120 --> 0:33:40.160
<v Speaker 2>to play a lot faster than they played with Jimbo

0:33:40.200 --> 0:33:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Fisher last year. I think there is going to be

0:33:43.320 --> 0:33:45.360
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be a lot simpler, and that is

0:33:45.400 --> 0:33:48.400
<v Speaker 2>something that Florida State and Florida State fans have been

0:33:48.520 --> 0:33:51.320
<v Speaker 2>clamoring for for the past couple of years. And it's

0:33:51.400 --> 0:33:53.920
<v Speaker 2>cool to say, like, oh, his offense is so complicated,

0:33:53.960 --> 0:33:56.640
<v Speaker 2>and oh, Jimbo empowers the quarterback to make all these

0:33:56.680 --> 0:33:59.320
<v Speaker 2>reads and adjustments. But sometimes just like we have better

0:33:59.360 --> 0:34:02.920
<v Speaker 2>players run faster than the dudes in the other colored uniforms.

0:34:02.920 --> 0:34:05.640
<v Speaker 2>So I think there is going to be a lot

0:34:05.720 --> 0:34:08.719
<v Speaker 2>more speed rotated in and out of the game. There's

0:34:08.719 --> 0:34:11.200
<v Speaker 2>going to be more simplicity, and he is going to

0:34:11.320 --> 0:34:14.399
<v Speaker 2>This is not necessarily different, but Willy Taggert has that

0:34:14.440 --> 0:34:16.719
<v Speaker 2>sort of killer instinct that has served him well both

0:34:16.760 --> 0:34:19.120
<v Speaker 2>on and off the field, that I think is going

0:34:19.200 --> 0:34:22.480
<v Speaker 2>to It's going to have Florida State fans responding pretty

0:34:22.600 --> 0:34:26.839
<v Speaker 2>positively in the medium and long term. This year. It's

0:34:26.880 --> 0:34:29.319
<v Speaker 2>going to be tricky, but I think they were due,

0:34:29.520 --> 0:34:32.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, Jimbo Fisher's situation not getting along with everybody

0:34:32.840 --> 0:34:37.279
<v Speaker 2>being distracted by, you know, just bickering with administrative types

0:34:37.280 --> 0:34:40.560
<v Speaker 2>at Florida State, that the program was due for a reboot,

0:34:40.560 --> 0:34:44.120
<v Speaker 2>a reset, and the new energy that Willy Taggart should

0:34:44.120 --> 0:34:47.000
<v Speaker 2>bring in, I would imagine we'll pay dividends. Even with

0:34:47.080 --> 0:34:51.040
<v Speaker 2>that end of the schedule, it should be a fun

0:34:51.120 --> 0:34:54.239
<v Speaker 2>Florida State team at bare minimum compared to where they've

0:34:54.239 --> 0:34:55.360
<v Speaker 2>been these past couple of years.

0:34:55.719 --> 0:34:58.440

<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, I was actually I was thinking pretty

0:36:32.880 --> 0:36:35.640
<v Speaker 2>thoroughly about Casper about fourteen hours ago.

0:36:48.560 --> 0:36:52.120
<v Speaker 1>both have Casper mattresses. One thing we have not discussed

0:36:52.160 --> 0:36:54.160
<v Speaker 1>is how Jody with an Eye has acclimated to the

0:36:54.200 --> 0:36:55.239
<v Speaker 1>Casper mattress.

0:36:56.000 --> 0:36:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Jody with an Eye is on the Casper mattress at

0:36:58.160 --> 0:37:02.440
<v Speaker 2>random times throughout weekend day, and can't. I may like

0:37:02.480 --> 0:37:05.680
<v Speaker 2>the Casper mattress more than she likes me. I concur

0:37:05.880 --> 0:37:09.520
<v Speaker 2>that I'm a similar position here. Yeah, with the solid wife.

<v Speaker 1>talked about Casper ad nauseum on this show. We both

0:37:59.640 --> 0:38:04.080
<v Speaker 1>enjoy the sleep experience. We enjoyed the unboxing experience, perhaps

0:38:04.160 --> 0:38:07.239
<v Speaker 1>a little bit too much. But we've talked about our

0:38:07.239 --> 0:38:09.840
<v Speaker 1>personal stories with Casper time and time again. We would

<v Speaker 1>of a mattress. Dan, Terms and conditions do apply.

0:38:35.480 --> 0:38:38.080
<v Speaker 2>This is a totally true story. I couldn't fall asleep

0:38:38.160 --> 0:38:41.160
<v Speaker 2>last night. I was wondering, I'm usually asleep way earlier

0:38:41.200 --> 0:38:43.239
<v Speaker 2>than this. Why am I not asleep? And then I

0:38:43.320 --> 0:38:47.520
<v Speaker 2>realized I had six giant mot frozen coffee MOCHIESE. Yeah.

0:38:49.680 --> 0:38:52.040
<v Speaker 2>And so I was just sitting there awake, and I

0:38:52.080 --> 0:38:54.160
<v Speaker 2>listen to a podcast and then I was just laying there.

0:38:54.200 --> 0:38:56.560
<v Speaker 2>And you're supposed to like really think about like your

0:38:56.640 --> 0:38:59.960
<v Speaker 2>breath and you know, releasing your muscles from your bones

0:39:00.080 --> 0:39:01.719
<v Speaker 2>to try to turn your brain off and go to sleep,

0:39:01.760 --> 0:39:04.200
<v Speaker 2>and you're having trouble sleeping. And my thought as I

0:39:04.280 --> 0:39:07.440
<v Speaker 2>was laying there, remembering my very poor decision making with

0:39:07.880 --> 0:39:09.960
<v Speaker 2>the six coffee mochies.

0:39:09.640 --> 0:39:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, was.

0:39:12.239 --> 0:39:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Damn it. This is a comfortable mattress, absolutely really comfortable.

0:39:16.920 --> 0:39:17.840
<v Speaker 2>And then I passed out.

0:39:18.080 --> 0:39:20.319
<v Speaker 1>Then you passed out. Let's move on. Let's go back

0:39:20.360 --> 0:39:24.480
<v Speaker 1>into the acc Atlantic and talk about let's talk about

0:39:24.640 --> 0:39:25.920
<v Speaker 1>NC state this year.

0:39:25.840 --> 0:39:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Dan, Let's do it.

0:39:27.640 --> 0:39:29.239
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be a hell of a ride, isn't it.

0:39:29.640 --> 0:39:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? No, will be Wow, you had It's and this

0:39:35.560 --> 0:39:39.759
<v Speaker 2>is kind of a theme both throughout the Fatlantic with

0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:44.760
<v Speaker 2>certain teams and the AAC West is okay, quarterback seems

0:39:44.800 --> 0:39:47.920
<v Speaker 2>to be in a pretty good place. Either somebody's experienced

0:39:47.920 --> 0:39:50.120
<v Speaker 2>in coming back and as a strength, or somebody showed

0:39:50.120 --> 0:39:53.239
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of a promise to finish out last year.

0:39:53.600 --> 0:39:54.960
<v Speaker 2>But that defense canna be rough.

0:39:55.200 --> 0:39:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, man, it's it's frenzy status. It's all on Ryan Finley,

0:39:59.520 --> 0:40:02.799
<v Speaker 1>and I do mean all because they lose Jalen Samuels,

0:40:02.800 --> 0:40:05.760
<v Speaker 1>their h back. We talked about Jalen Samuels for three years.

0:40:05.760 --> 0:40:07.680
<v Speaker 1>He did so much for that offense as a runner

0:40:07.719 --> 0:40:11.000
<v Speaker 1>and a receiver. And you factor that in with Nahem

0:40:11.120 --> 0:40:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Hines who's also gone from the backfield.

0:40:13.840 --> 0:40:14.080
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

0:40:14.120 --> 0:40:17.080
<v Speaker 1>I feel great about their passing game because Kelvin Harmon,

0:40:17.200 --> 0:40:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Stephen Lewis, and Jacoby Myers they're all back in addition

0:40:20.960 --> 0:40:25.200
<v Speaker 1>to Ryan Finley. But who that defense? If that is

0:40:25.239 --> 0:40:27.359
<v Speaker 1>not going to be mcgyverd together, I don't know what

0:40:27.400 --> 0:40:29.120
<v Speaker 1>will in the acc FA Atlantic.

0:40:29.239 --> 0:40:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I suppose If you are into good quarterback play,

0:40:32.920 --> 0:40:34.640
<v Speaker 2>is this is why you care about NC State. You

0:40:34.640 --> 0:40:38.000
<v Speaker 2>get to watch Ryan Finley, who was super efficient most

0:40:38.040 --> 0:40:40.719
<v Speaker 2>of last year, could be one of the first three

0:40:40.800 --> 0:40:42.759
<v Speaker 2>or four quarterbacks taken in the draft that that's something

0:40:42.800 --> 0:40:46.879
<v Speaker 2>you're interested in. And there's gonna be shootouts back half

0:40:46.920 --> 0:40:47.640
<v Speaker 2>of that schedule.

0:40:48.080 --> 0:40:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, whoof?

0:40:49.840 --> 0:40:52.440
<v Speaker 2>So I mean, this isn't all that diff Like. They

0:40:52.480 --> 0:40:54.359
<v Speaker 2>gave up a ton through the air last year, even

0:40:54.400 --> 0:40:57.920
<v Speaker 2>with Bradley Chubb, even with that defensive line. So there's

0:40:57.960 --> 0:41:01.800
<v Speaker 2>no real reason to assume anything too different from Menci

0:41:01.840 --> 0:41:04.640
<v Speaker 2>State this year. But that's fine. They were fun to

0:41:04.680 --> 0:41:07.440
<v Speaker 2>watch last year. They were within a few points of Clemson,

0:41:07.520 --> 0:41:10.200
<v Speaker 2>a few seconds of beating Clemson. The back half of

0:41:10.200 --> 0:41:13.840
<v Speaker 2>this schedule is they go to Clemson, to Syracuse, Florida

0:41:13.920 --> 0:41:18.000
<v Speaker 2>State wake at Louisville, and then North Carolina on the

0:41:18.040 --> 0:41:20.200
<v Speaker 2>road as well. We don't know if that's super crazy,

0:41:20.280 --> 0:41:23.799
<v Speaker 2>but right this is another and we didn't play this

0:41:23.880 --> 0:41:26.040
<v Speaker 2>sound too much last year. We've already played it tonight.

0:41:26.760 --> 0:41:31.520
<v Speaker 2>They have Clemson on the road October twentieth, Florida State

0:41:31.560 --> 0:41:34.840
<v Speaker 2>at home November three. And where do they go in

0:41:34.960 --> 0:41:39.080
<v Speaker 2>between those two weeks? Tell me Dan, they go to

0:41:39.120 --> 0:41:42.360
<v Speaker 2>the Carrier Dome. Oh look a dun sandwich.

0:41:42.360 --> 0:41:43.680
<v Speaker 1>You I'm so hungry.

0:41:44.360 --> 0:41:45.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm so hungry.

0:41:46.040 --> 0:41:49.839
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's a letdown look ahead spot if I've ever

0:41:49.880 --> 0:41:50.560
<v Speaker 1>seen one.

0:41:51.040 --> 0:41:53.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to not with the confidence I had

0:41:53.920 --> 0:41:58.560
<v Speaker 2>about Boston College and Clemson say that Syracuse is they're

0:41:58.680 --> 0:42:04.240
<v Speaker 2>right there to just pick off NC State, But Syracuse

0:42:04.360 --> 0:42:10.759
<v Speaker 2>is kind of like a tapeworm. Ultimately, you're going to

0:42:10.880 --> 0:42:14.439
<v Speaker 2>keep on living your life, probably like Clemson did last year. Right,

0:42:15.000 --> 0:42:16.719
<v Speaker 2>but you go to you know, Ellis you had their

0:42:16.760 --> 0:42:20.040
<v Speaker 2>struggles with just randomly with Syracuse. You remember Louisville back

0:42:20.040 --> 0:42:23.160
<v Speaker 2>in the day, troubles like they are just they're going

0:42:23.200 --> 0:42:27.960
<v Speaker 2>to attach themselves to your intestine, right and make things

0:42:28.239 --> 0:42:30.160
<v Speaker 2>tricky for a while.

0:42:30.320 --> 0:42:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Like you can get rid of them, but only with

0:42:32.600 --> 0:42:34.280
<v Speaker 1>really strong antibiotics.

0:42:34.480 --> 0:42:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's going to take some time. It is going

0:42:37.120 --> 0:42:38.680
<v Speaker 2>to take some time. You go to Western New York,

0:42:38.719 --> 0:42:42.640
<v Speaker 2>you're going to catch something. Yeah, and that's something is

0:42:42.640 --> 0:42:44.759
<v Speaker 2>is dino babitis.

0:42:45.040 --> 0:42:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what Syracuse tapeworm. I think is an

0:42:48.239 --> 0:42:50.520
<v Speaker 1>apt way to put it. I you know, so that

0:42:50.840 --> 0:42:53.399
<v Speaker 1>of course is something that I think will be care

0:42:53.520 --> 0:42:56.960
<v Speaker 1>worthy if you're looking at NC State. Yeah, but you know,

0:42:57.040 --> 0:43:01.200
<v Speaker 1>they're intriguing to me because outside of a couple teams

0:43:02.040 --> 0:43:05.360
<v Speaker 1>on the schedule. Right, with the exception of teams like

0:43:05.400 --> 0:43:08.959
<v Speaker 1>Clemson in Florida State, you don't look at it and say, wow,

0:43:09.000 --> 0:43:11.759
<v Speaker 1>there's like a ton of offensive firepower that they got

0:43:11.800 --> 0:43:12.920
<v Speaker 1>to worry about, right.

0:43:12.920 --> 0:43:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Right, No, there isn't.

0:43:14.480 --> 0:43:17.319
<v Speaker 1>So you know, for as bad as the defense could be,

0:43:17.360 --> 0:43:19.680
<v Speaker 1>and we don't know, for as bad as they could

0:43:19.719 --> 0:43:22.960
<v Speaker 1>be this year, their offense could just be good enough

0:43:23.480 --> 0:43:26.520
<v Speaker 1>to offset some of the issues that they might have

0:43:26.600 --> 0:43:29.560
<v Speaker 1>on defense, so they still, who the hell knows, could

0:43:29.640 --> 0:43:32.120
<v Speaker 1>end up winning a bunch of games. I think that

0:43:32.239 --> 0:43:34.399
<v Speaker 1>really lends credence to what you said at the top.

0:43:34.719 --> 0:43:36.560
<v Speaker 1>A lot of shootouts this year, a lot of reason

0:43:36.640 --> 0:43:41.040
<v Speaker 1>to be really interested in how NC State finishes in

0:43:41.080 --> 0:43:44.160
<v Speaker 1>that ACC. Fatlantic. Look, you could make a case for

0:43:44.239 --> 0:43:48.880
<v Speaker 1>them to finish fifth or sixth in that side of

0:43:48.880 --> 0:43:51.239
<v Speaker 1>the ACC. Yeah, as much as you could make a

0:43:51.280 --> 0:43:54.840
<v Speaker 1>case for them to finish third. It really varies depending

0:43:54.840 --> 0:43:58.200
<v Speaker 1>on how that defense plays, and particularly if the offense

0:43:58.200 --> 0:44:00.359
<v Speaker 1>can pick up the slack. The other thing that I'll

0:44:00.400 --> 0:44:02.920
<v Speaker 1>throw out there that I don't think you mentioned, you

0:44:03.000 --> 0:44:05.480
<v Speaker 1>might have, and if you did, I apologize. There's a

0:44:05.520 --> 0:44:08.359
<v Speaker 1>pretty big litmus test Week three against West Virginia which

0:44:08.400 --> 0:44:09.839
<v Speaker 1>could be I was just going to go there. Yeah,

0:44:09.880 --> 0:44:12.640
<v Speaker 1>a ton of fun to watch, especially given the fact

0:44:12.719 --> 0:44:14.360
<v Speaker 1>that both teams are on track to put up a

0:44:14.400 --> 0:44:15.279
<v Speaker 1>lot of points this year.

0:44:15.360 --> 0:44:18.640
<v Speaker 2>This is true, and they're they're very similar there. You know,

0:44:18.640 --> 0:44:21.680
<v Speaker 2>they have that quarterback who is pretty well regarded. They

0:44:21.680 --> 0:44:26.080
<v Speaker 2>have the receiving experience and talent defense with huge questions.

0:44:26.560 --> 0:44:28.640
<v Speaker 2>That'll be fun. It will one. I think that's an

0:44:28.640 --> 0:44:32.640
<v Speaker 2>afternoon three thirty kick. That's going to be after two

0:44:32.800 --> 0:44:35.200
<v Speaker 2>and listen. I'm not going to put down JMU. This

0:44:35.280 --> 0:44:38.080
<v Speaker 2>is a powerhouse program, but they should beat JMU.

0:44:38.239 --> 0:44:42.520
<v Speaker 1>They better beat JMU. Dave Dorian almost took the Tennessee job.

0:44:42.560 --> 0:44:43.720
<v Speaker 1>They better beat JMU.

0:44:44.600 --> 0:44:47.040
<v Speaker 2>The other great thing about just in terms of schedule,

0:44:47.320 --> 0:44:52.080
<v Speaker 2>is they miss Miami, Virginia Tech, and Georgia Tech cross

0:44:52.120 --> 0:44:54.160
<v Speaker 2>division wise, and no Notre Dame this year.

0:44:54.200 --> 0:44:55.160
<v Speaker 1>No Notre Dame. That's right.

0:44:55.640 --> 0:44:58.759
<v Speaker 2>It's a nice year to have to rely on some

0:44:59.080 --> 0:45:03.600
<v Speaker 2>smoke in mirror and one single right arm for success.

0:45:03.920 --> 0:45:06.000
<v Speaker 2>I know they go to Clemson into the Carrier Dome

0:45:06.040 --> 0:45:08.920
<v Speaker 2>and consecutive weeks, and the back half of their schedule

0:45:08.960 --> 0:45:11.279
<v Speaker 2>they go to Louisville and maybe Juan Pass you know,

0:45:11.360 --> 0:45:14.000
<v Speaker 2>beyond having an excellent name is going to be incredible.

0:45:15.160 --> 0:45:18.399
<v Speaker 2>But all things considered, this would be this should be

0:45:18.680 --> 0:45:22.160
<v Speaker 2>at the very least another fun team.

0:45:22.120 --> 0:45:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Right, it should be a fun team. It won't be

0:45:24.600 --> 0:45:26.960
<v Speaker 1>fun against a team like Boston College. It's just going

0:45:27.040 --> 0:45:29.080
<v Speaker 1>to run the ball forty times. That will be as

0:45:29.120 --> 0:45:31.040
<v Speaker 1>they should. I think that will be a bit of

0:45:31.080 --> 0:45:35.600
<v Speaker 1>an issue for NCI State. But otherwise, yeah, it's gonna

0:45:35.600 --> 0:45:37.120
<v Speaker 1>be a hell of a ride. That's the best I

0:45:37.120 --> 0:45:37.600
<v Speaker 1>can say.

0:45:38.960 --> 0:45:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a it's things. If things lined up like

0:45:42.000 --> 0:45:45.560
<v Speaker 2>this last year, it would have been ideal schedule wise,

0:45:45.640 --> 0:45:48.479
<v Speaker 2>but great fun. This is good. This is a North

0:45:48.480 --> 0:45:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Carolina State is a perfect example of you're a fan

0:45:51.680 --> 0:45:54.279
<v Speaker 2>of somebody eighteen hundred miles away and c stay it's

0:45:54.280 --> 0:45:55.520
<v Speaker 2>going a good TV show this year.

0:45:55.800 --> 0:45:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about the Syracuse tapeworm, shall we. I'd love

0:45:59.640 --> 0:46:03.560
<v Speaker 1>to when four and eight last year. Grungy Eric Dungee

0:46:03.600 --> 0:46:05.920
<v Speaker 1>is back in what feels like is seventeenth season.

0:46:05.960 --> 0:46:08.400
<v Speaker 2>Now I'm rooting for him. I like that he's randomly

0:46:08.440 --> 0:46:10.880
<v Speaker 2>from Portland and got a last second Syracuse offer and

0:46:10.920 --> 0:46:12.160
<v Speaker 2>was like, okay, sure, whatever.

0:46:12.600 --> 0:46:15.680
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about a team with no true game breakers

0:46:15.680 --> 0:46:21.840
<v Speaker 1>on offense. No, the defense surprisingly is actually stronger for

0:46:21.960 --> 0:46:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Syracuse this year, stronger than I think we're used to.

0:46:25.560 --> 0:46:29.160
<v Speaker 1>But the fact remains that Syracuse is one in fifteen

0:46:29.239 --> 0:46:33.640
<v Speaker 1>in their last four novembers. Dan Ah Bowl eligibility is

0:46:33.640 --> 0:46:36.560
<v Speaker 1>going to come down to games at Wake and Boston

0:46:36.560 --> 0:46:40.560
<v Speaker 1>College and at home against Louisville. We've got a neutral

0:46:40.640 --> 0:46:47.239
<v Speaker 1>cider in there, also LOUMERWL Louiaville against Notre Dame. They

0:46:47.280 --> 0:46:49.840
<v Speaker 1>may need to win two or three of those games

0:46:49.880 --> 0:46:52.040
<v Speaker 1>late in the year to get Bowl eligible. And I

0:46:52.120 --> 0:46:54.080
<v Speaker 1>feel like that's an awful lot to ask.

0:46:54.640 --> 0:46:55.919
<v Speaker 2>Where is that Notre Dame game?

0:46:56.000 --> 0:46:59.440
<v Speaker 1>It's a Yankee Stadium, Dan Yankee Stadium, Okay, the de

0:46:59.560 --> 0:47:03.200
<v Speaker 1>facto oh Pinstripe Bowl, but not really the Pinstripe Bull.

0:47:03.200 --> 0:47:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh, and you have your hat, You're all set if

0:47:05.040 --> 0:47:07.000
<v Speaker 2>you would decide to head on down to the Bronx.

0:47:07.280 --> 0:47:11.120
<v Speaker 1>There's also, as we mentioned earlier, games in the Carrier

0:47:11.160 --> 0:47:18.279
<v Speaker 1>Dome versus Florida State, versus NC State versus Louisville, Louisville Louisville.

0:47:18.400 --> 0:47:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Who will talk about vul in just a little bit.

0:47:22.400 --> 0:47:26.960
<v Speaker 1>The conventional logic dan mm hmm, was that Syracuse was

0:47:27.000 --> 0:47:29.319
<v Speaker 1>going to take a big leap forward last year, and

0:47:29.360 --> 0:47:32.719
<v Speaker 1>that did not really happen. It was a tough schedule.

0:47:33.600 --> 0:47:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Eric Dungee missed I think the last what three games

0:47:36.520 --> 0:47:38.759
<v Speaker 1>of the year mm hmm, and it kind of came

0:47:38.800 --> 0:47:42.200
<v Speaker 1>apart on him. Now they've got a fair amount of

0:47:42.239 --> 0:47:46.279
<v Speaker 1>experience coming back in the ACC. I don't know if

0:47:46.320 --> 0:47:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm expecting a breakthrough here for Dino Babers. I want

0:47:49.040 --> 0:47:51.719
<v Speaker 1>there to be a breakthrough, I really do. I'm just

0:47:51.760 --> 0:47:52.480
<v Speaker 1>not feeling it.

0:47:53.600 --> 0:47:58.320
<v Speaker 2>So few notes about Syracuse. One schedule is actually pretty

0:47:58.320 --> 0:48:00.640
<v Speaker 2>awesome when you look at it. So this is another team,

0:48:01.040 --> 0:48:03.960
<v Speaker 2>no Georgia Tech, no Virginia Tech, no Miami. When you

0:48:04.000 --> 0:48:06.319
<v Speaker 2>have a suspect defense, I agree with you that their

0:48:06.360 --> 0:48:09.040
<v Speaker 2>defense should be better. That's mostly because of their defensive

0:48:09.080 --> 0:48:12.080
<v Speaker 2>line is experienced, and I think should make some plays

0:48:12.480 --> 0:48:15.520
<v Speaker 2>behind that defensive line. I don't know how happy I

0:48:15.560 --> 0:48:18.480
<v Speaker 2>am with this QS defense. But listen. They go to

0:48:18.600 --> 0:48:22.719
<v Speaker 2>Western Michigan, Fine Wagner, Fine Florida State is at home.

0:48:22.719 --> 0:48:24.760
<v Speaker 2>They're going to lose that game most likely, but whatever,

0:48:24.760 --> 0:48:26.920
<v Speaker 2>it's at home. At least they have Yukon at home.

0:48:26.960 --> 0:48:30.759
<v Speaker 2>They go to Clemson two pit. They these are like

0:48:30.840 --> 0:48:33.799
<v Speaker 2>going two pit is not Pitt's going to start? Who

0:48:33.960 --> 0:48:39.239
<v Speaker 2>at the retread USC Alabama, Like this pit's going to

0:48:39.320 --> 0:48:43.759
<v Speaker 2>be not great probably this year the road games back

0:48:43.800 --> 0:48:46.719
<v Speaker 2>half of the schedule, when things hypothetically get tough and

0:48:46.760 --> 0:48:49.480
<v Speaker 2>you're wounded and beat up, like as Syracuse was last year,

0:48:49.520 --> 0:48:51.399
<v Speaker 2>they go two wake. They have Notre Dame. They're gonna

0:48:51.440 --> 0:48:53.200
<v Speaker 2>lose Notre Dame at Yankee Stadium, but they're not going

0:48:53.200 --> 0:48:56.319
<v Speaker 2>to South Bend and they go to Boston College. So

0:48:56.360 --> 0:48:59.440
<v Speaker 2>this is not a murderer's rose schedule. Eric Dungee, we

0:48:59.480 --> 0:49:02.120
<v Speaker 2>are every digit we have is cross that he stays

0:49:02.160 --> 0:49:05.680
<v Speaker 2>healthy this year. There's a cool like the quarterback room

0:49:05.800 --> 0:49:08.439
<v Speaker 2>is an amazing story with Eric Dungee being a fourth

0:49:08.520 --> 0:49:13.320
<v Speaker 2>year starter, Rex Culpeper coming back from testicular cancer, and

0:49:13.680 --> 0:49:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Tommy DeVito being one of like nine famous Tommy DeVito's

0:49:19.080 --> 0:49:22.840
<v Speaker 2>the bass player for the four season four seasons, Frankie

0:49:22.880 --> 0:49:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Valley in the four seasons, Tommy DeVito, Joe Pesci's character

0:49:26.440 --> 0:49:30.399
<v Speaker 2>and Goodfellowvida like A'm I funny how I'm when I'm

0:49:30.400 --> 0:49:34.160
<v Speaker 2>a clown. I'm using Tommy DeVito and Tommy DeVito's a

0:49:34.200 --> 0:49:37.360
<v Speaker 2>four star blue chip quarterback who may be the best

0:49:37.480 --> 0:49:41.759
<v Speaker 2>pure passer in that room. So Syracuse at least has

0:49:41.840 --> 0:49:46.279
<v Speaker 2>a Tommy Davito. And I don't know what's gonna happen.

0:49:46.280 --> 0:49:47.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't know who's gonna be quarterback by the time

0:49:47.800 --> 0:49:51.239
<v Speaker 2>to get to say North Carolina on October twentieth. But

0:49:53.000 --> 0:49:55.359
<v Speaker 2>the Syracuse tapeworm is real, Tie, it is very real,

0:49:55.360 --> 0:49:58.359
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know who's going to be administering said tapeworm. Yeah,

0:49:58.880 --> 0:50:03.120
<v Speaker 2>but this should be a year in what it is now.

0:50:03.160 --> 0:50:07.200
<v Speaker 2>You're three of Dino Baber's year three. That year two,

0:50:07.239 --> 0:50:09.960
<v Speaker 2>they beat Clemson and we all remember that, and that

0:50:10.080 --> 0:50:13.640
<v Speaker 2>was a program defining or at least season defining moment

0:50:14.000 --> 0:50:17.440
<v Speaker 2>for Syracuse before. I mean, they didn't win after that game,

0:50:17.760 --> 0:50:21.000
<v Speaker 2>but it's set up that they could go to a

0:50:21.040 --> 0:50:23.360
<v Speaker 2>bowl game this year, and that would be a cool story,

0:50:23.600 --> 0:50:26.319
<v Speaker 2>all things considered, with how down they were and all

0:50:26.360 --> 0:50:29.880
<v Speaker 2>of my bluster about the ACC being basically joke free

0:50:30.239 --> 0:50:33.480
<v Speaker 2>in terms of teams and basement dwelling. So I'm rooting

0:50:33.520 --> 0:50:37.239
<v Speaker 2>for Syracuse to be an effective tapeworm.

0:50:37.080 --> 0:50:41.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not totally on board with your assertion here that

0:50:41.200 --> 0:50:45.080
<v Speaker 1>the schedule isn't isn't that bad? Well, I think I

0:50:45.080 --> 0:50:47.360
<v Speaker 1>think it's a lot to ask late in the year

0:50:48.040 --> 0:50:50.000
<v Speaker 1>for them to win two or three of those games

0:50:50.000 --> 0:50:52.560
<v Speaker 1>that I listed in order to make a Bowl, because

0:50:52.560 --> 0:50:54.440
<v Speaker 1>that's what it's going to come down to. So we'll

0:50:54.520 --> 0:50:57.120
<v Speaker 1>wait and see on that front. But on your point

0:50:57.200 --> 0:51:03.839
<v Speaker 1>of the Syracuse tapeworm, a subplot could be that there's

0:51:03.920 --> 0:51:06.480
<v Speaker 1>only one man in the world who knows the cure

0:51:06.560 --> 0:51:10.000
<v Speaker 1>to the Syracuse tapeworm. He's a man on the inside

0:51:10.000 --> 0:51:12.920
<v Speaker 1>and he's the punter named Sterling Hulfrichter Junior.

0:51:13.360 --> 0:51:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh my goodness, what a name.

0:51:15.640 --> 0:51:18.799
<v Speaker 1>If there's anybody who knows the antidote, it's somebody named

0:51:18.800 --> 0:51:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Sterling Hulfrichter Junior.

0:51:21.960 --> 0:51:24.040
<v Speaker 2>As a note, that's not as entertaining as that. You

0:51:24.040 --> 0:51:26.279
<v Speaker 2>can get into the Syracuse Wagner game right now for

0:51:26.320 --> 0:51:31.200
<v Speaker 2>six dollars, So a ticket is going to cost less

0:51:31.280 --> 0:51:33.080
<v Speaker 2>than a hot dog at that game.

0:51:33.280 --> 0:51:37.560
<v Speaker 1>All right, two teams left in the ACC. Let's talk

0:51:37.680 --> 0:51:46.160
<v Speaker 1>about well, Lo Louisville. So I mentioned how Boston College

0:51:46.239 --> 0:51:49.040
<v Speaker 1>might be the most interesting team in the ACC. I

0:51:49.080 --> 0:51:53.840
<v Speaker 1>think I really mean it about Louisville. Louisville Louiauville went eight.

0:51:53.680 --> 0:51:55.640
<v Speaker 2>And four a year. It's in your head and I

0:51:55.680 --> 0:51:56.120
<v Speaker 2>love it.

0:51:56.360 --> 0:51:59.600
<v Speaker 1>You're so in my head. Eight and four year ago

0:52:00.200 --> 0:52:03.160
<v Speaker 1>they lose Lamar Jackson. Everyone knows the deal about Lamar Jackson,

0:52:03.239 --> 0:52:08.839
<v Speaker 1>all right. Heisman Trophy winning quarterback was unbelievable. But now

0:52:08.880 --> 0:52:12.040
<v Speaker 1>this year they've got seven other guys who were on

0:52:12.080 --> 0:52:14.360
<v Speaker 1>the team from a year ago who were back on offense.

0:52:14.800 --> 0:52:17.960
<v Speaker 1>They've got four along the offensive line, and they've got

0:52:17.960 --> 0:52:21.040
<v Speaker 1>their new quarterback, Juwan Pass, who's a freaking tank at

0:52:21.120 --> 0:52:24.000
<v Speaker 1>six four, two thirty and he goes by the nickname Puma,

0:52:24.080 --> 0:52:27.400
<v Speaker 1>which I love. Love that love that we've got Puma

0:52:27.400 --> 0:52:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Pass out there running the show for the Louisville Cardinals.

0:52:32.360 --> 0:52:34.640
<v Speaker 1>So that should at least be fun on the offensive

0:52:34.640 --> 0:52:37.960
<v Speaker 1>side of the ball. The defense, Dan also could be fun,

0:52:38.320 --> 0:52:41.040
<v Speaker 1>but only in a very sadistic way. Just throwing it

0:52:41.040 --> 0:52:43.120
<v Speaker 1>out there because I know they're bringing Brian van Gorder

0:52:43.160 --> 0:52:46.200
<v Speaker 1>to town. And just as you were once a fan

0:52:46.280 --> 0:52:49.080
<v Speaker 1>of a Brady Hoag defense, I too was once a

0:52:49.120 --> 0:52:53.680
<v Speaker 1>fan of many Brian Van Gorder defenses, and Louisville fans,

0:52:53.840 --> 0:52:55.400
<v Speaker 1>I feel for you.

0:52:55.400 --> 0:52:58.359
<v Speaker 2>You may watch more Louisville games. This might be the

0:52:58.360 --> 0:53:03.320
<v Speaker 2>care factor above even whom a pass just to bathe

0:53:03.400 --> 0:53:06.760
<v Speaker 2>in the fact that you don't have to be invested

0:53:06.800 --> 0:53:07.840
<v Speaker 2>in the BBG defense.

0:53:08.000 --> 0:53:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Somebody, please, I am begging for somebody out there. Somebody

0:53:12.280 --> 0:53:16.320
<v Speaker 1>find me. The article that is written, if it isn't written,

0:53:16.400 --> 0:53:19.759
<v Speaker 1>should be written and will be written about the new

0:53:19.880 --> 0:53:23.120
<v Speaker 1>aggressive attacking mentality that BVG is going to bring to town.

0:53:23.600 --> 0:53:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Somebody's going to write that article.

0:53:25.160 --> 0:53:28.600
<v Speaker 2>Dan, I just and we'll get to this the back

0:53:28.640 --> 0:53:31.800
<v Speaker 2>half of the show. I did just see in reading

0:53:31.840 --> 0:53:36.800
<v Speaker 2>about I think it's SMU and Sonny Dyke's who hired him.

0:53:37.120 --> 0:53:39.759
<v Speaker 2>They hired Kevin Kine. I believe his name is the

0:53:39.840 --> 0:53:47.920
<v Speaker 2>NIU defensive coordinator. Attacking mentality. Baby, they love it. It

0:53:47.960 --> 0:53:51.160
<v Speaker 2>should be noted somebody's going to write that article about BVG.

0:53:52.160 --> 0:53:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Do you think it will be? And you are in

0:53:55.239 --> 0:53:59.240
<v Speaker 2>control of this partially A top I don't know. Six

0:53:59.400 --> 0:54:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Fantasy Thing draft pick. Juwan Pass is a quarterback and

0:54:03.840 --> 0:54:04.680
<v Speaker 2>his name is Pass.

0:54:05.200 --> 0:54:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that might be a little too dad jokey for

0:54:08.760 --> 0:54:10.520
<v Speaker 1>our Fantasy Things draft.

0:54:10.560 --> 0:54:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Who do you think is calling these games?

0:54:13.560 --> 0:54:16.120
<v Speaker 1>I know, I mean it's Dad joke Central calling these games.

0:54:16.160 --> 0:54:21.560
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know. I mean it's in the conversation.

0:54:21.640 --> 0:54:23.160
<v Speaker 1>We'll put it there. It's on my list.

0:54:23.600 --> 0:54:26.080
<v Speaker 2>It's so blunt and direct. I wish there were, like

0:54:26.160 --> 0:54:30.960
<v Speaker 2>a if there were a long snapper named Broderick Snappington, right,

0:54:31.600 --> 0:54:34.440
<v Speaker 2>that'd be for me, that'd be a little bit better.

0:54:34.640 --> 0:54:39.800
<v Speaker 1>See instead of the pass quarterback factor, right, I think

0:54:40.440 --> 0:54:43.040
<v Speaker 1>we might go with more of an ironic play given

0:54:43.080 --> 0:54:46.560
<v Speaker 1>the fact that Juan Passes nickname is Puma, yet he's

0:54:46.600 --> 0:54:49.719
<v Speaker 1>six four two thirty. The Puma, of course being a

0:54:49.840 --> 0:54:54.960
<v Speaker 1>regal sinewy beast out on thee yeah, out on the

0:54:55.200 --> 0:54:59.200
<v Speaker 1>uh you know, western part of North America and whatnot,

0:55:00.320 --> 0:55:02.480
<v Speaker 1>and he of course being just an utter tank at

0:55:02.520 --> 0:55:07.040
<v Speaker 1>six four two thirty. How do we feel about Louisville, Dan,

0:55:07.120 --> 0:55:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Other than those two reasons why we should care, how

0:55:11.160 --> 0:55:14.120
<v Speaker 1>do you feel about a eight or nine win Louisville

0:55:14.120 --> 0:55:15.800
<v Speaker 1>team this year? Is that too generous?

0:55:16.480 --> 0:55:18.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's too generous. They return a good

0:55:18.719 --> 0:55:22.120
<v Speaker 2>amount on offense. Their skill talent around Juwan Pass should

0:55:22.120 --> 0:55:25.960
<v Speaker 2>be pretty great. The line, as you mentioned, is what

0:55:26.000 --> 0:55:29.840
<v Speaker 2>it's four out of five for starters. So the situation

0:55:29.960 --> 0:55:33.960
<v Speaker 2>the offense finds itself in and namely Bobby Petrino. It

0:55:34.080 --> 0:55:38.200
<v Speaker 2>seems advantageous. They opened the season in a less than

0:55:38.320 --> 0:55:44.120
<v Speaker 2>advantageous Alabama not good. So they play Alabama? Is that Orlando?

0:55:44.160 --> 0:55:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Where they play that Orlando?

0:55:45.560 --> 0:55:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Yes, Camping World Stadium, Dan, Yes, And.

0:55:51.480 --> 0:55:56.520
<v Speaker 2>That feels dicey. That feels like a dicey way to

0:55:56.560 --> 0:55:59.080
<v Speaker 2>introduce a new quarterback. We saw that with USC a

0:55:59.120 --> 0:56:02.879
<v Speaker 2>couple of years ago and Max Brown. So outside of that,

0:56:02.960 --> 0:56:05.120
<v Speaker 2>the non conference part of their schedule, you know, they

0:56:05.160 --> 0:56:09.560
<v Speaker 2>finished with Kentucky. It's fine. Road wise, I think it's

0:56:09.960 --> 0:56:13.000
<v Speaker 2>pretty great. This is another team that is not I mean,

0:56:13.040 --> 0:56:15.080
<v Speaker 2>they have Georgia Tech, but they don't have Miami of

0:56:15.200 --> 0:56:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Virginia Tech, so cross division wise, and they don't have

0:56:17.600 --> 0:56:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame. So it's fine. Alabama changes the paradigm of

0:56:23.719 --> 0:56:24.799
<v Speaker 2>sense to schedule is.

0:56:24.719 --> 0:56:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Fine just a little bit. Yeah, that's fair.

0:56:27.320 --> 0:56:31.279
<v Speaker 2>Defensively, linebacker is intriguing. Upfront, I'm not scared of too much,

0:56:31.360 --> 0:56:34.879
<v Speaker 2>especially given the defensive coordinator and the scheme. You're gonna

0:56:34.880 --> 0:56:37.000
<v Speaker 2>be able to throw on this Louisville team a good amount.

0:56:37.320 --> 0:56:40.319
<v Speaker 2>The good news for them is a lot of these

0:56:40.320 --> 0:56:44.759
<v Speaker 2>teams don't have super talented, proven quarterbacks at least in

0:56:44.800 --> 0:56:46.760
<v Speaker 2>the first half of the schedule, so that's at least

0:56:47.280 --> 0:56:49.200
<v Speaker 2>again outside of Alabama.

0:56:48.800 --> 0:56:51.840
<v Speaker 1>You could dan, you could squint and find eight or

0:56:51.920 --> 0:56:54.920
<v Speaker 1>nine wins here if you're feeling generous. You could also

0:56:54.960 --> 0:56:57.360
<v Speaker 1>see it going terribly wrong and then missing a bowl.

0:56:57.400 --> 0:57:00.000
<v Speaker 1>That's part of the reason why I think Louisville has

0:57:00.160 --> 0:57:03.200
<v Speaker 1>a high care factor in the ACC this year. Whether's

0:57:03.239 --> 0:57:06.759
<v Speaker 1>so intriguing because yeah, it could kind of go either way.

0:57:07.840 --> 0:57:09.920
<v Speaker 2>No, you're right. I think seven and a half feels

0:57:09.960 --> 0:57:12.959
<v Speaker 2>about the right over under. I think eight and four

0:57:13.680 --> 0:57:15.479
<v Speaker 2>with a couple of breaks. I know if Jawan Pass

0:57:15.560 --> 0:57:17.960
<v Speaker 2>works out, feels a bit right. I want to highlight

0:57:18.440 --> 0:57:20.000
<v Speaker 2>a dude if you will, if you can play the

0:57:20.080 --> 0:57:26.000
<v Speaker 2>same Their right tackle is what is considered to be

0:57:26.040 --> 0:57:30.920
<v Speaker 2>a big dude. McKai Becton is six seven, three sixty

0:57:31.080 --> 0:57:33.280
<v Speaker 2>whole and he's good at football.

0:57:33.840 --> 0:57:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Geez.

0:57:34.360 --> 0:57:39.080
<v Speaker 2>And we've seen offensive line issues very recently with Louisville.

0:57:39.160 --> 0:57:41.560
<v Speaker 2>It appears to be solidifying. They hired a new coach

0:57:41.560 --> 0:57:46.280
<v Speaker 2>before last year. Up front, I imagine if Juwan Pass

0:57:46.320 --> 0:57:49.560
<v Speaker 2>is able to develop throughout this season after the Alabama game,

0:57:50.040 --> 0:57:52.080
<v Speaker 2>a big reason for that will be that line giving

0:57:52.160 --> 0:57:55.960
<v Speaker 2>him time to throw to experienced receivers. And McKai becton

0:57:56.240 --> 0:58:02.080
<v Speaker 2>is the clear size and yeah size of that line.

0:58:02.160 --> 0:58:05.480
<v Speaker 2>So he is the uh as you look at pickup trucks,

0:58:05.560 --> 0:58:06.720
<v Speaker 2>it's like an extended bed.

0:58:09.040 --> 0:58:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, And finally in the acc FA Atlantic before

0:58:14.160 --> 0:58:18.200
<v Speaker 1>we move quickly and buzz through the aa C West. Yes,

0:58:18.680 --> 0:58:22.000
<v Speaker 1>talking about wake Forest, Dan, wake Forest went seven and

0:58:22.120 --> 0:58:26.680
<v Speaker 1>five a year ago. They were plucky. I enjoyed talking.

0:58:26.760 --> 0:58:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed predicting what would happen next with the Wolford wagon.

0:58:31.160 --> 0:58:34.920
<v Speaker 1>The Wolford wagon has has ridden off into the sunset,

0:58:35.000 --> 0:58:39.800
<v Speaker 1>rolled on. Yep. Now we're talking about the Kendall Hinton era,

0:58:40.480 --> 0:58:42.480
<v Speaker 1>which is going to have to wait a few extra

0:58:42.560 --> 0:58:45.560
<v Speaker 1>games to start in earnest here because he was suspended

0:58:45.560 --> 0:58:47.320
<v Speaker 1>for the first three games of the year due to

0:58:48.080 --> 0:58:54.000
<v Speaker 1>a violation of team rules. So where do we stand

0:58:54.000 --> 0:58:57.640
<v Speaker 1>here with wake Forest. We know that the offensive line

0:58:58.840 --> 0:59:04.320
<v Speaker 1>is back. We know that the receiving cores is mostly back.

0:59:05.000 --> 0:59:08.280
<v Speaker 1>We know that Matt Coleburn is back at running back,

0:59:08.360 --> 0:59:11.680
<v Speaker 1>had almost a thousand yards a year ago. We know

0:59:11.800 --> 0:59:14.120
<v Speaker 1>all that. We don't know a ton about quarterback. We'll

0:59:14.160 --> 0:59:17.640
<v Speaker 1>wait and see The real question is going to be

0:59:17.680 --> 0:59:18.840
<v Speaker 1>that front seven, isn't it.

0:59:19.160 --> 0:59:23.280
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that defense may be pretty rough, but here's why

0:59:23.320 --> 0:59:26.560
<v Speaker 2>you care. And I would probably group this in that

0:59:26.680 --> 0:59:30.080
<v Speaker 2>same Boston College. And I promise I'm not trying to

0:59:30.240 --> 0:59:32.720
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not being condescending in my heart about this.

0:59:33.040 --> 0:59:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Wake Forest is a competitive team. This like Boston College matters.

0:59:38.120 --> 0:59:40.439
<v Speaker 2>They're developing players on both sides of the ball. Duke

0:59:40.520 --> 0:59:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Edge of four unfortunately is gone. I mean still alive,

0:59:43.200 --> 0:59:47.040
<v Speaker 2>but no longer in Winston Salem. And you know, whether

0:59:47.040 --> 0:59:49.960
<v Speaker 2>it's John Wolford, whether it's just the claw fence. In general,

0:59:50.800 --> 0:59:55.400
<v Speaker 2>it's good. Life is good watching the ACC and wake Forest.

0:59:55.440 --> 0:59:57.080
<v Speaker 2>They were like a foot and a half from beating

0:59:57.120 --> 0:59:58.439
<v Speaker 2>Florida State last year.

0:59:58.560 --> 0:59:58.960
<v Speaker 1>That's right.

0:59:59.440 --> 1:00:02.920
<v Speaker 2>They win a big shootout, fun bowl game. Wake Forest,

1:00:03.560 --> 1:00:07.280
<v Speaker 2>a team that's associated with the saddest moment in ACC

1:00:07.480 --> 1:00:13.640
<v Speaker 2>Championship game history, is a fun team developing quarterbacks. They

1:00:13.680 --> 1:00:15.919
<v Speaker 2>have like an all purpose standout And he's a dude.

1:00:15.960 --> 1:00:17.400
<v Speaker 2>But we don't need to play the sound again, but

1:00:17.840 --> 1:00:20.720
<v Speaker 2>he is definitely Greg Dortch, which is a ridiculous name

1:00:20.760 --> 1:00:23.160
<v Speaker 2>to say. It sounds fake. It sounds like he sells

1:00:23.200 --> 1:00:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Spokane better than any other realtor in the area. Trust

1:00:26.120 --> 1:00:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Greg Dortch with your ranch house. But Greg Dortch is

1:00:29.040 --> 1:00:31.640
<v Speaker 2>really fun. He could be a Debo type impact player

1:00:31.640 --> 1:00:35.360
<v Speaker 2>for Wake. I like this situation for Wake a lot.

1:00:35.640 --> 1:00:37.400
<v Speaker 2>They're not all that different from a couple of these

1:00:37.400 --> 1:00:40.840
<v Speaker 2>other teams that are gonna rely on shootouts but schematically

1:00:40.920 --> 1:00:44.480
<v Speaker 2>on offense with a line that's in place and at

1:00:44.600 --> 1:00:48.520
<v Speaker 2>least a promising quarterback. We think in Kendall Hinton. There's

1:00:48.560 --> 1:00:53.160
<v Speaker 2>a lot to like again, adding to the joke freeness

1:00:53.280 --> 1:00:56.080
<v Speaker 2>of the ACC, which I can name a couple of

1:00:56.120 --> 1:00:58.520
<v Speaker 2>other major conferences off the top of my head that

1:00:58.600 --> 1:01:01.440
<v Speaker 2>are nowhere near as joke free as the ACC.

1:01:02.240 --> 1:01:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Joke free ACC. I like it. It's got a ring

1:01:04.560 --> 1:01:07.400
<v Speaker 1>to it. Can I can I confess something here?

1:01:07.800 --> 1:01:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Please?

1:01:08.240 --> 1:01:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Can I just get it out before we get any

1:01:10.040 --> 1:01:12.200
<v Speaker 1>deeper into our season previews? Here?

1:01:12.760 --> 1:01:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Come into my safe arms time.

1:01:14.360 --> 1:01:19.960
<v Speaker 1>There are deep, dark, unspoken moments when I forget that

1:01:20.040 --> 1:01:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Dave Duran and Dave claws And are different people.

1:01:23.720 --> 1:01:26.360
<v Speaker 2>It's okay, Dave is a very acc name.

1:01:26.840 --> 1:01:29.400
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not proud of that because Dave Claws in Hey,

1:01:29.680 --> 1:01:32.240
<v Speaker 1>He's done a really good job. Last year was fun

1:01:32.280 --> 1:01:35.400
<v Speaker 1>to watch. He's two and zero in bowls. He's twenty

1:01:35.400 --> 1:01:38.960
<v Speaker 1>one and twenty nine overall at wake Forest, which is

1:01:39.000 --> 1:01:40.520
<v Speaker 1>not an easy task.

1:01:40.640 --> 1:01:43.480
<v Speaker 2>It's a full from scratch project that he has succeeded

1:01:43.520 --> 1:01:47.480
<v Speaker 2>thus far with. And if there is any one wish

1:01:47.560 --> 1:01:49.920
<v Speaker 2>I have for Wake Forest is please get rid of

1:01:49.920 --> 1:01:51.360
<v Speaker 2>the WF helmet decal.

1:01:51.640 --> 1:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they could do so much better. Go fuld demon deacon,

1:01:55.640 --> 1:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>full demon Deacon.

1:01:56.600 --> 1:02:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Do something. If you're refreshing successfully with the claw offence,

1:02:00.600 --> 1:02:03.280
<v Speaker 2>refresh the look. Please please, please please please get just

1:02:04.120 --> 1:02:05.960
<v Speaker 2>mess up that hat. Do something.

1:02:06.240 --> 1:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Just write claw fence on it, but capitalize the W

1:02:09.480 --> 1:02:13.560
<v Speaker 1>in the f. Oh do something happy medium. What's their

1:02:13.600 --> 1:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>schedule like? Is it is wake schedule? Like?

1:02:15.440 --> 1:02:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Could they finish with it? Seems Let's see, they go

1:02:19.080 --> 1:02:21.400
<v Speaker 2>to Florida State. They open at Tulane, which is going

1:02:21.440 --> 1:02:24.360
<v Speaker 2>to be tricky. That's a Thursday night opener. May have

1:02:24.440 --> 1:02:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Florida State and Louisville on the road in consecutive weeks.

1:02:26.640 --> 1:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Not like the worst road schedule here.

1:02:29.360 --> 1:02:31.840
<v Speaker 2>No, and they have a bye week before that. Florida

1:02:31.840 --> 1:02:36.040
<v Speaker 2>State Louisville double dep Yeah, all right, but Cloud they

1:02:36.080 --> 1:02:39.160
<v Speaker 2>finish listen this. They finished with Syracuse, NC State on

1:02:39.200 --> 1:02:43.160
<v Speaker 2>the road pit and going to Duke. It's it feels

1:02:43.240 --> 1:02:45.120
<v Speaker 2>like they could go to a bowl game again, which

1:02:45.160 --> 1:02:45.720
<v Speaker 2>is great.

1:02:45.960 --> 1:02:48.120
<v Speaker 1>I tell you right now. NC State might get torched

1:02:48.120 --> 1:02:50.480
<v Speaker 1>by the Dorch torch.

1:02:50.240 --> 1:02:51.960
<v Speaker 2>By the door, see that hat Dorch.

1:02:52.560 --> 1:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Louisville with that BVG defense, they could get torched

1:02:55.880 --> 1:03:00.080
<v Speaker 1>by the Dorch torch by the doors. Just saying, so

1:03:00.160 --> 1:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>there you go. We went through the acc FA Atlantic,

1:03:05.480 --> 1:03:09.440
<v Speaker 1>all seven teams of it. Dan, Yes, please write in

1:03:09.520 --> 1:03:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Suliverble at gmail dot com. Let us know your thoughts.

1:03:12.280 --> 1:03:16.800
<v Speaker 1>We're also available on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, all those hot spots.

1:03:16.880 --> 1:03:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Let us know your thoughts on the acc Atlantic very quickly.

1:03:22.800 --> 1:03:25.960
<v Speaker 1>People have been asking us now for gosh, I want

1:03:25.960 --> 1:03:28.640
<v Speaker 1>to say, it's been five six years. As we do

1:03:28.720 --> 1:03:32.240
<v Speaker 1>our season previews, we've had different iterations of season previews

1:03:32.240 --> 1:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>for a while. There. We were doing our top twenty

1:03:34.880 --> 1:03:37.360
<v Speaker 1>five teams and our top forty teams. Then we switched

1:03:37.400 --> 1:03:39.960
<v Speaker 1>it up to conferences, Then we switched it up to

1:03:40.000 --> 1:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>I forget whatever we did last year, but it was

1:03:42.600 --> 1:03:44.880
<v Speaker 1>in Latin, like we did it in Latin pig last

1:03:44.840 --> 1:03:47.840
<v Speaker 1>than before. Sure, Yeah, this year We're going to go

1:03:48.080 --> 1:03:52.560
<v Speaker 1>division by division. We've had so many requests to talk

1:03:52.680 --> 1:03:56.320
<v Speaker 1>in a little bit more detail about the group of five, correct,

1:03:57.040 --> 1:03:59.200
<v Speaker 1>So we're gonna try it this year. We're not going

1:03:59.280 --> 1:04:02.240
<v Speaker 1>to devote a full hour and five like we did

1:04:02.280 --> 1:04:06.280
<v Speaker 1>the ACC Atlantic. But let's talk about the ACC West, Dan,

1:04:06.400 --> 1:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about why we should care about Memphis, Houston

1:04:10.440 --> 1:04:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Navy SMU two Lane in Tulsa.

1:04:13.040 --> 1:04:15.760
<v Speaker 2>You should care because and I'm gonna make this very simple.

1:04:15.800 --> 1:04:17.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna try to encapsulate this in a way that

1:04:18.440 --> 1:04:21.280
<v Speaker 2>makes sense to my dumb brain. You know, when you're

1:04:21.280 --> 1:04:24.760
<v Speaker 2>watching Netflix and you watch a show and you go

1:04:24.800 --> 1:04:27.280
<v Speaker 2>on with your life. You're not doing anything else on Netflix.

1:04:27.320 --> 1:04:29.160
<v Speaker 2>You're making yourself a sandwich, You're going to work whatever,

1:04:29.200 --> 1:04:31.320
<v Speaker 2>and you come back, you come back to Netflix and

1:04:31.360 --> 1:04:34.120
<v Speaker 2>you say, oh, because you watch The Office, you might

1:04:34.200 --> 1:04:38.560
<v Speaker 2>enjoy Parks and Recreation right right, because you watched Making

1:04:38.600 --> 1:04:41.320
<v Speaker 2>a Murder whatever that show is called. You might like this.

1:04:41.720 --> 1:04:44.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, Peaky blind who's done it, Peaky Blinders, whatever?

1:04:45.200 --> 1:04:50.120
<v Speaker 2>If you like The Big twelve, if you like PAC

1:04:50.200 --> 1:04:56.520
<v Speaker 2>twelve after Dark, you might like the AAC West. I

1:04:56.560 --> 1:04:59.040
<v Speaker 2>am really like do you have Spotify? Tie. Is that

1:04:59.080 --> 1:05:02.960
<v Speaker 2>a certain too, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Discover Weekly is essentially

1:05:03.080 --> 1:05:06.440
<v Speaker 2>knows me better than my best friends, my wife, my family, whatever.

1:05:07.720 --> 1:05:11.560
<v Speaker 2>There is something very Discover weekly about the AAC West.

1:05:11.960 --> 1:05:14.760
<v Speaker 2>Did you like Pactole after Dark? We got sunny dikes.

1:05:15.720 --> 1:05:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Odds are astronomical that you're not rooting for Memphis, Houston, Navy, SMU,

1:05:19.360 --> 1:05:23.320
<v Speaker 2>Tulane or Tulsa because they're just smaller football programs. And

1:05:23.360 --> 1:05:26.280
<v Speaker 2>I know there's talk about like, oh, there's it's the

1:05:26.320 --> 1:05:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Power six not the Power five because of the AAC.

1:05:29.520 --> 1:05:33.720
<v Speaker 2>But here's the thing. Memphis is really fun to watch,

1:05:34.080 --> 1:05:36.320
<v Speaker 2>and I have no rooting interest. Only I've been to Memphis.

1:05:36.320 --> 1:05:39.080
<v Speaker 2>I have no rooting interest in the Tigers. Houston's going

1:05:39.120 --> 1:05:41.400
<v Speaker 2>to be fun to watch this year. Navy is going

1:05:41.440 --> 1:05:44.920
<v Speaker 2>to be fun to There's questions, there's astro there's ifs

1:05:44.960 --> 1:05:49.200
<v Speaker 2>for all of these teams, but this is a TV show.

1:05:50.040 --> 1:05:52.960
<v Speaker 2>If you like Khalil Tate in Arizona, I think you're

1:05:52.960 --> 1:05:54.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna like Derek King for Houston.

1:05:54.640 --> 1:05:56.960
<v Speaker 1>That's took over at quarterback. Excuse me, that's Eric with

1:05:57.000 --> 1:05:58.160
<v Speaker 1>a queue for quarterback.

1:05:58.360 --> 1:06:02.800
<v Speaker 2>D Yes, that's true. That is the exactly much. If

1:06:02.800 --> 1:06:06.760
<v Speaker 2>you like watching Georgia Tech a couple of years ago

1:06:07.400 --> 1:06:11.000
<v Speaker 2>with Justin Thomas. Whatever, You're gonna like Malcolm Perry and Navy.

1:06:10.760 --> 1:06:13.440
<v Speaker 1>And I'm gonna hate watching Malcolm Perry and Navy in

1:06:13.640 --> 1:06:16.360
<v Speaker 1>San Diego against Notre Dame. Why are they playing in

1:06:16.400 --> 1:06:17.040
<v Speaker 1>San Diego?

1:06:17.080 --> 1:06:20.640
<v Speaker 2>If you like previous Willie Fritz option teams, he's gonna

1:06:20.680 --> 1:06:24.720
<v Speaker 2>throw the ball pretty effectively. Not him, Jonathan Banks. If

1:06:24.760 --> 1:06:28.160
<v Speaker 2>you liked watching those Baylor Okay, Tulsa's gonna yeah, Tulsa's

1:06:28.160 --> 1:06:30.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna be bad. This is almost assuredly going to be bad,

1:06:30.760 --> 1:06:33.080
<v Speaker 2>but they might put up some points, who knows. And

1:06:33.200 --> 1:06:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Oliver is the best defensive lineman in the country and

1:06:36.120 --> 1:06:38.360
<v Speaker 2>he's on the same team as perhaps one of the

1:06:38.400 --> 1:06:42.560
<v Speaker 2>most fun new quarterbacks in the country and Derek King potentially,

1:06:43.280 --> 1:06:46.000
<v Speaker 2>and we haven't even mentioned Memphis. If you like watching

1:06:46.080 --> 1:06:49.880
<v Speaker 2>last year's Memphis team, there's a lot back on both sides.

1:06:51.120 --> 1:06:54.960
<v Speaker 2>They're going this is going to be this is Discover

1:06:55.040 --> 1:06:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Weekly Pack twelve after Dark. And if that doesn't sell

1:06:59.720 --> 1:07:03.840
<v Speaker 2>you the AAC West tie, I need to go back

1:07:03.840 --> 1:07:05.280
<v Speaker 2>to the drawing door board because I thought that was

1:07:05.280 --> 1:07:05.760
<v Speaker 2>pretty good.

1:07:06.200 --> 1:07:09.400
<v Speaker 1>That wasn't half bad? Dan Yes, not to mention Brady

1:07:09.440 --> 1:07:14.240
<v Speaker 1>White from Memphis. Formerly I think of Arizona State.

1:07:14.080 --> 1:07:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Right following Norvel to Memphis.

1:07:15.760 --> 1:07:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I think there are a lot of reasons

1:07:20.360 --> 1:07:22.000
<v Speaker 1>to be excited about the AAC West.

1:07:23.400 --> 1:07:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And if you look at the AAC in general,

1:07:27.080 --> 1:07:29.960
<v Speaker 2>and you look at teams who scored the fewest points

1:07:30.640 --> 1:07:33.120
<v Speaker 2>not coming from the West. Nope, I'm not going to

1:07:33.160 --> 1:07:36.040
<v Speaker 2>tell you the AAC East is discover Weekly Big twelve

1:07:36.360 --> 1:07:39.720
<v Speaker 2>because it's just not Nope. Outside of UCF, I am

1:07:40.160 --> 1:07:44.520
<v Speaker 2>extremely unironically excited like that. I would make the AAC

1:07:44.680 --> 1:07:49.360
<v Speaker 2>West a DVR show. They're like a great Tuesday watch.

1:07:49.400 --> 1:07:50.919
<v Speaker 2>Like I'm not going to be able to watch every

1:07:50.920 --> 1:07:53.760
<v Speaker 2>minute of all of these games, but they'll be on YouTube,

1:07:53.840 --> 1:07:55.880
<v Speaker 2>They'll be on some service, and I'll be able to

1:07:55.960 --> 1:07:58.560
<v Speaker 2>skim through and have a grand old time. That's the

1:07:58.600 --> 1:08:02.600
<v Speaker 2>AAC West to me. Discover Weekly Pac twelve.

1:08:02.600 --> 1:08:07.280
<v Speaker 1>After dark, I'll be discovering Memphis at Missouri on October

1:08:07.320 --> 1:08:10.080
<v Speaker 1>the twentieth. That could be a fun game.

1:08:10.400 --> 1:08:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it absolutely can be.

1:08:12.040 --> 1:08:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I don't want to talk again about Navy against

1:08:15.800 --> 1:08:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame, but I suppose if you hate Notre Dame,

1:08:18.760 --> 1:08:20.800
<v Speaker 1>that could be interesting. Oh, by the way, we could

1:08:20.880 --> 1:08:24.160
<v Speaker 1>talk on September fifteenth about Navy against Lehigh for a

1:08:24.160 --> 1:08:25.879
<v Speaker 1>little Patriot League seasoning.

1:08:28.000 --> 1:08:31.559
<v Speaker 2>We could. I anticipate it a lot of fun here

1:08:31.800 --> 1:08:34.719
<v Speaker 2>in the and Houston has a couple of Power five teams.

1:08:34.520 --> 1:08:38.639
<v Speaker 1>Earlier, Houston's got to have Arizona Texas Tech. They'll probably

1:08:38.640 --> 1:08:40.320
<v Speaker 1>shut out Texas Tech within Oliver.

1:08:40.560 --> 1:08:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean the back half of that defense is

1:08:43.320 --> 1:08:45.000
<v Speaker 2>your voice goes up a little bit when you talk

1:08:45.040 --> 1:08:48.320
<v Speaker 2>about some of that. They lost a lot, but they're

1:08:48.320 --> 1:08:50.439
<v Speaker 2>gonna be fun. Yeah, Man, there are time do you

1:08:50.560 --> 1:08:55.640
<v Speaker 2>have you listened to your Discover Weekly? Sometimes it is unbelievable.

1:08:55.640 --> 1:08:57.960
<v Speaker 2>I've polluted mine because I listen to music when I work.

1:08:58.000 --> 1:09:01.040
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes that is sort of like that chip Ill, you know,

1:09:01.120 --> 1:09:04.360
<v Speaker 2>ambient productive music, and so that that pollutes a little bit.

1:09:04.400 --> 1:09:06.599
<v Speaker 2>I wish there was a way to change things up.

1:09:07.280 --> 1:09:10.400
<v Speaker 2>But man, I love me some Discover Weekly, and they

1:09:10.400 --> 1:09:12.439
<v Speaker 2>are not paying me a damn dime to say that.

1:09:12.680 --> 1:09:14.920
<v Speaker 1>No, they are definitely not paying us a damn time

1:09:15.000 --> 1:09:15.960
<v Speaker 1>on that firm.

1:09:16.439 --> 1:09:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Get at us, Spotify. I believe you have gone public

1:09:19.439 --> 1:09:21.240
<v Speaker 2>and you are flushed with cash.

1:09:21.280 --> 1:09:27.040
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, that does it for our first preview shows.

1:09:26.040 --> 1:09:27.080
<v Speaker 2>Who's coming out of the West.

1:09:27.080 --> 1:09:29.080
<v Speaker 1>By the way, who's coming out of the West?

1:09:29.320 --> 1:09:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, which team do you feel most confident? You feel

1:09:32.400 --> 1:09:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Memphis reloading a quarterback, new look Houston offense major Apple

1:09:35.960 --> 1:09:38.639
<v Speaker 2>White and ned York King and Kendall Briles. We should

1:09:38.640 --> 1:09:45.639
<v Speaker 2>mention that ye'll be uncomfortable, but effect is Malcolm perryat

1:09:45.720 --> 1:09:47.840
<v Speaker 2>the same type of you know, game breaker.

1:09:49.160 --> 1:09:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go Memphis again. Okay, give me a Memphis.

1:09:55.280 --> 1:09:57.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think I'm gonna do that as well. They

1:09:57.080 --> 1:09:59.360
<v Speaker 2>lose their offensive coordinator for the second straight year. But

1:09:59.360 --> 1:09:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm going Memphi.

1:10:00.040 --> 1:10:03.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go Memphis. Yeah, let's do Memphis here. Okay,

1:10:03.880 --> 1:10:07.000
<v Speaker 1>So here is the deal moving forward, Dan and I,

1:10:07.040 --> 1:10:12.679
<v Speaker 1>we believe have done an alarming amount of planning. Yeah,

1:10:12.760 --> 1:10:17.040
<v Speaker 1>to plot our pathway through till the end of August.

1:10:17.560 --> 1:10:19.800
<v Speaker 1>We've got a show with Bill Barnwell that we're very

1:10:19.880 --> 1:10:23.719
<v Speaker 1>excited about, non football show that we've also got, Yeah

1:10:23.760 --> 1:10:26.400
<v Speaker 1>on the schedule. We've got our Live Fantasy Things show,

1:10:26.439 --> 1:10:28.519

<v Speaker 1>to Chicago. We want you to be there, but if

1:10:30.760 --> 1:10:33.320
<v Speaker 1>you can't, we are going to put that one out there.

<v Speaker 1>After the fact so you can listen. We think we've

1:10:36.040 --> 1:10:39.120
<v Speaker 1>got a pathway through all the way until the start

1:10:39.240 --> 1:10:42.120
<v Speaker 1>of the college football season. There will be a point

1:10:42.160 --> 1:10:44.680
<v Speaker 1>here very soon, and by very soon, I think I

1:10:44.800 --> 1:10:47.960
<v Speaker 1>mean next week where we're gonna start putting two shows

1:10:47.960 --> 1:10:48.280
<v Speaker 1>out a.

1:10:48.200 --> 1:10:50.599
<v Speaker 2>Week, ramp it up. We're gonna stop.

1:10:50.600 --> 1:10:55.360
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna ramp this machine up and start talking about

1:10:55.600 --> 1:10:59.080
<v Speaker 1>more conferences in the span of a week. So this

1:10:59.160 --> 1:11:01.600
<v Speaker 1>is our warm up act. We've got more coming in

1:11:01.760 --> 1:11:04.880
<v Speaker 1>very short order. The best way that you can stay

1:11:04.880 --> 1:11:08.000
<v Speaker 1>in touch with us is, as always, our newsletter, which

1:11:08.000 --> 1:11:09.840
<v Speaker 1>you can find at solid verbal dot com. There's a

<v Speaker 1>sign up form. You can also go to Facebook dot

<v Speaker 1>com Solid Verbal click on the big sign up button

1:11:16.479 --> 1:11:18.000
<v Speaker 1>at the top of the page. We're also going to

<v Speaker 1>make sure we tweet out the form as well. If

<v Speaker 1>you are interested in that live show or any of

1:11:23.840 --> 1:11:26.840
<v Speaker 1>our new merchandise that we're going to put forth. The

1:11:26.880 --> 1:11:30.439
<v Speaker 1>newsletter is the best place and the first place that

1:11:30.479 --> 1:11:32.960
<v Speaker 1>you will find out all that information. That doesn't mean

1:11:33.000 --> 1:11:35.280
<v Speaker 1>we won't post it on social media in due time,

1:11:35.680 --> 1:11:37.200
<v Speaker 1>but if you want to be one of the early

1:11:37.240 --> 1:11:39.880
<v Speaker 1>birds and for the live show, I would suggest it

1:11:39.920 --> 1:11:41.799
<v Speaker 1>because I think we're going to sell out very quickly.

1:11:42.320 --> 1:11:45.200
<v Speaker 1>The newsletter is your first line of defense, the best

1:11:45.200 --> 1:11:48.080
<v Speaker 1>place that you can find all that information out. I

1:11:48.120 --> 1:11:49.920
<v Speaker 1>think we're going to do our best to at least

1:11:49.920 --> 1:11:53.439
<v Speaker 1>give people some prior warning across our social media channels

1:11:53.439 --> 1:11:56.280
<v Speaker 1>when we plan to put those tickets up. But it's

1:11:56.280 --> 1:11:58.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna be one of those deals, Dan, where when we

1:11:58.040 --> 1:12:01.120
<v Speaker 1>get the go ahead from our current the unnamed venue,

1:12:01.280 --> 1:12:03.200
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna try and put those tickets out there into

1:12:03.200 --> 1:12:06.240
<v Speaker 1>the public sphere so people can start actually making plants

1:12:06.240 --> 1:12:06.960
<v Speaker 1>to come to Chicago.

1:12:08.000 --> 1:12:10.439
<v Speaker 2>Ty as we ramp up, this is my final question.
