1
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: I come before you this morning or afternoon, depending on

2
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: when you're listening, with an apologetic tone. Look, I'm not

3
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: perfect on flawed, just like everyone else. And here's my flaw.

4
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 1: I like routines and I hate fall weddings. That's not

5
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: a flaw. Actually, that's more a badge of honor. But

6
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: what do I tell people? I tell people in the fall,

7
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: have your wedding in the spring, just do it to

8
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: the spring man, what's wrong with the spring? Spring's beautiful sunshine,

9
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: birds chirping, flowers blooming. And what does producer Jesse do? Well?

10
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: He has his wedding in the spring on a Friday,

11
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: no less, but it happens to be this Friday, and

12
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: it's made the week chaotic. We had to do the

13
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: Thursday Late Kick live on Tuesday. I'm having to do

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: the Late Kick extra, which was supposed to be Tuesday

15
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: on Thursday. I've had a sneezing attack all week, so

16
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: you can hear. I barely have a because, as I've

17
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: told you guys before, I sneeze really violently, like I

18
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: yell when I sneeze. I would do it right now,

19
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: but I don't want to damage my vocal cords any further,

20
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: so I barely have a voice. Look, all I'm trying

21
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: to say is I want you to feel sorry for

22
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: me this morning. Please, if you do nothing else today,

23
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: feel sorry for me. Now. Having said that, we do

24
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: have a loaded mail bag of questions about college football

25
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: and certain other things. So while you're listening to this,

26
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: I'll probably be flying to Connecticut somewhere, a state I've

27
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: never visited before because Yukon has been terrible recently. But

28
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: I have found a reason to go to Connecticut. And

29
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: before that, I've found a reason to talk a lot

30
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: of college football with you. This morning slash afternoon slash

31
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: middle of the night. Again, listen at your leisure. Just

32
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: make sure you subscribe. Why you do it? First up

33
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: this morning, we go with Andre. He says, why are

34
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: fans so upset when their teams players don't get ranked

35
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: high on recruiting services. I'm a Notre Dame fan, but

36
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 1: I learned no one gets it right all the time.

37
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: Just relax everyone. Well, this is easy for you to

38
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: say in May, Andre, but as you and I both know,

39
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: the live bullets start flying in December. Early signing day

40
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: comes along, and here's what's the most aggravating thing you

41
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: If you follow recruiting hardcore, you've watched your players, but

42
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: you've I don't want to cast dispersions here, but I

43
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: think a lot of fans claim they watch film, but

44
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: really what you've watched is a highlight reel. In fact,

45
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: let me give you a quick tutorial. This is a

46
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: helpful guy. If what you're watching has background music, you

47
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: have probably not watched film. You probably just saw a

48
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: highlight reel. Now, of course, the nature of highlight reels

49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: is everything's good. That's why it's called a highlight reel.

50
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: We do that in my business. We call it a

51
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: sizzle reel, a demo reel, and everything's good. You take

52
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: your very best and you put it on there, and

53
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: you send it off to agencies, and you send it

54
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: off to editors and whatever the case may be, and

55
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: you try and get a job based off your highlight reel. However,

56
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: just like in football, is to go find the worst

57
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: of you as well. Filter both of those things out.

58
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: I don't want to see you at your best or

59
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: your worst. I want to see the middle eighty percent.

60
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: What do you look like on a normal Tuesday, or

61
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: what does that player look like? What does that high

62
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: school senior linebacker from Aliquippa look like on a third

63
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: and four run pass, both in play and he's an

64
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: edge player. Does he do his job on this random

65
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: play that wasn't on that highlight reel and then does

66
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 1: he do that five hundred other times over the course

67
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: of his career. Well, that's what a star rating should

68
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: be based on. But no one really dives that deep.

69
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: From the fans perspective, most of the time, no one

70
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: has taken a dive that deep, and so if the

71
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: star ranking doesn't match the highlight reel, a lot of

72
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: times fans get up in arms. I have no problem

73
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: with that. I've had kids every single cycle Andre that

74
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: I disagree with with our staff. So here's what I do.

75
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: Since I have access to our building, I go corner

76
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: Cooper Protagna and I challenge him on stuff, and you

77
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: know what he does. He walks me through his thinking,

78
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: and he walks me through the thinking of the rankings council,

79
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: which is not a monolith. It's a bunch of people

80
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: who have their own opinions. I've been privy to some

81
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: of their calls, and the rankings discussions are very, very heated.

82
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: You think you get mad you ought to hear them

83
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: get mad at each other. That's one of the things

84
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: that excited me the most when I came to work here,

85
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: by the way, was I got to sit in on that.

86
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: Because before that I was just like you guys. I

87
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: looked at the rankings updates. I was baffled by them.

88
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: I got mad about them. I'm not too proud to

89
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: admit that, and I still do sometimes. The only difference

90
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: now is I can just march myself down the hallway

91
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: and get an explanation. Maybe that's what I should do, Andrea,

92
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: I should be a proxy for fans who were upset

93
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: on a case by case basis about the player rankings

94
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: of the kids committed to their teams. That's what I

95
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: should do. Forget about doing the shows every week. I'll

96
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: just be the conduit between you guys and the rankings council,

97
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: and together we'll fix all this. But here's all I say.

98
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: I'm about to move on because I got a lot

99
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: to get to. All I say is this, if you

100
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: get mad about the way a kid is ranked, just

101
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: make sure you're there three or four years later. How

102
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: many people do that? Ask yourselves that? How many people

103
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: when the NFL draft comes around, or you know, just

104
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: when a kid's cycle is through and he's done with

105
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: your school or four or five schools, now that the

106
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: portal era is here. How many times do you go

107
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: back and remember how angry you were about a recruitment

108
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: or a ranking four years ago and you reassess it now.

109
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: I think what you'll find is you'll find ooh, maybe

110
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: I was the one who whipped. Maybe I got a

111
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,119
Speaker 1: little too emotional or too over the top on this kid.

112
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's just food for thought, just putting

113
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: it out there. Next up we go north of the border.

114
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: We go to welland that is in Ontario, Canada. For

115
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: those of you unfamiliar, Xavier asks a bit of a

116
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: weird question here. Do coaches get advice from strength and

117
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: conditioning coaches and nutritionists. Yes they do. I would maybe

118
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: say more input and feedback than advice, but it is

119
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: a two way street. So one of the things I

120
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: actually love talking about the most with coaches in general,

121
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: when we go meet with them, this is usually more

122
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: an off the record conversation, so I'll keep it generic,

123
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: but I'll ask them about the specifics of their program,

124
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: the specifics of their nutrition and strength and conditioning plans,

125
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: sports science, all that stuff, and it's kind of boring

126
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: if you get them talking about it on the record.

127
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: But off the record, you can take what they say

128
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 1: and I think you can formulate it into some pretty

129
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: informative content. So what I have found is the better

130
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 1: coaches are the ones who are a little bit further

131
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: into their career. And what they've done is they've developed

132
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: enough trust to delegate responsibility to strength the conditioning, to

133
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: delegate responsibility to nutrition. And what I mean is the

134
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: head coach, let's just say you're Mike Norvel at Florida State,

135
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: to choose a random example. You know what you want.

136
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: You know what the vision is for your program. You

137
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: know the st all you want offensively, defensively, special teams.

138
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: You have your critical factors and characteristics that need to

139
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: be present in a player for you to offer them.

140
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: I e. A dB needs to have this, this, and this,

141
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: It needs to be this tall, ideally he's in this

142
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: weight range. That those things are all non negotiables. You

143
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: have those, now, how do you get those? Or when

144
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: you get a player on campus where strength and conditioning

145
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: and nutrition comes in, is how do we turn these

146
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: players into a better version of what we want them

147
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: to be. Well, Mike Norvell could say all he wants

148
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: to here's how I want my linebackers to look, Here's

149
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: how I want them to play, Here's how I want

150
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: them to think. Mike Norvel may not know about a

151
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: nutrition plan that specifically needs to be tailored so a

152
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: guy can fit that, or a strength and conditioning plan.

153
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: He may not know the kid doesn't have enough joint fluidity.

154
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm just making up terms at the moment. He may

155
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: not know that linebacker is moving that way because of something.

156
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: He just knows he doesn't like the way the linebackers

157
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: moving and he wants it improved. Well, it's at that

158
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: point Mike Norvell meets with strength to conditioning, he meets

159
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: with sports science, he meets with nutrition. He says, this

160
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: guy is one way. I want him to be another way.

161
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: How do we do it? And then there's silence, and

162
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: then it's up to the people he's hired to give

163
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: him the feedback. And then it's up to him to say,

164
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: I don't even understand half of what you just said,

165
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: but I trust you and I hired you for a reason,

166
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: so now it's time for you to do your job.

167
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: That's where the feedback comes in. Now, what I have

168
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: noticed is in many programs, the players are closer to

169
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: the S and C coaches and the nutritionists sometimes than

170
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: they are the head coach. Most of the time, your

171
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: strongest relationships may actually be with your position coach and

172
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: the other assistants and grad assistants and off field analysts

173
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: that may be in that room with you, and strength

174
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 1: to conditioning and maybe nutrition. But like you talk to

175
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: many many players, we got a lot of them who

176
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: listen to the show. I guarantee you they'll tell you,

177
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: certainly on a case by case basis, but I guarantee

178
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: you a lot of them would tell you I'm way

179
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: closer to the strength the conditioning coach than I am

180
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: to the head coach. And they also feel they can

181
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: go to the S and C coach about a lot

182
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: of things that they may not even have time to

183
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: go to the head coach about, much less have the

184
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: willingness to go to the head coach about. So that

185
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: is another way. If I'm a head coach at Peyton State,

186
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: I know that I know that's true. I know it's

187
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: happening every day in my building. So I'm asking my

188
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: strength conditioning coach sometimes not just about what kind of

189
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: lifts and tempos and rep ranges do we want these

190
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: guys doing? What about rest? I'm not just asking them

191
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: about that. I'm asking them, Hey, how do you think

192
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 1: Mike's handling is transitioned to college? Hey? How do you

193
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 1: think Stephen is handling the position change the spring? How

194
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: do you think it's going well? The reason I'm asking

195
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: him is not just because he's a great analytical mind

196
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: or has a scout's eye for the game. It's because

197
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: he's probably gotten feedback from him that I haven't gotten back. So,

198
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: based on my travels and observations, those are the areas

199
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: where I think those folks are the biggest difference makers.

200
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: Orange kool Aid from Newark, Ohio is next. He says,

201
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: one has to go college football or stormchasing, which is it? No,

202
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: they don't. I don't know who told you that. They

203
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: lied to you, Orange kool Aid. That's why you're like

204
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: the fifth best flavor of kool Aid. You got lied

205
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: to and apparently you bought it, so that's on you. Noe.

206
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: Neither of them has to go. The entire reason for

207
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: getting in this business was that my first love. Well,

208
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 1: one of my loves, okay, let's not favor one over

209
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: the other. One of my loves was college football, and

210
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: it happens in the fall. Well, the games are played

211
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: in the fall, and even though there is no off season,

212
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: we get a lot more flexible in how we can

213
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: cover the sport in the spring that happens to coincide

214
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: with the height of tornado activity in the contiguous United States.

215
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: And so this is a perfect situation for me. Why

216
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: would one have to go? I feel like it makes

217
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: a more well rounded individual. You know, I don't get

218
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: out a lot. You guys know I'm not a social butterfly.

219
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: If you look at my list of favorite activities, it's

220
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: not fifteen or twenty deep. I got a couple of things,

221
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: and this is one of the couple. I need it.

222
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: I gotta have it. If I don't have this in

223
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: the spring, I'm really concerned that I may take up meth.

224
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, some kind of bad habit. I automatically

225
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: just go to meth. That's one of the worst. And

226
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: I come from a place where it's kind of prevalent.

227
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: So I don't want to fall into that trap. So

228
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: let me put it back in your hands, Orange kool Aid,

229
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: Let me put my balls in your court. Immunity. No,

230
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: you know what, no immunity. This is as real as

231
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: it gets. Listen up, Orange kool Aid. You choose, do

232
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: you want me chasing tornadoes in the spring or do

233
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: you want me doing meth storm chasing drugs, tornado meth

234
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 1: It's your call. You hear that, I hear silence exactly.

235
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: By the way, if they let me into this presidential

236
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: debate coming up soon, I really think I could make

237
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: some headway. It's just a write in candidate. At least

238
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: I think I can make some headway. That's how you debate.

239
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: You take everything, you turn it on your opponent. You

240
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: turn everything into an either or scenario. Make one of

241
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: the scenarios. Matthews, boom, you win. That's it. Next up,

242
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: David Madison, Alabama worked up now. David said, if you

243
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: were a high school recruit today, what would a university

244
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: have to offer you to get you to commit? Well, David,

245
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: I think I play the same game in my mind

246
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: that you probably play, and a lot of people probably

247
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: play and want me check myself because we've got an

248
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: extremely diverse audience and so like most of you were

249
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: younger according to the numbers, but there is a healthy, healthy,

250
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: fifty to seventy four year old population that listens to

251
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: the show too. So I think depending on your age

252
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: and your life experience, you may answer this question very differently.

253
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 1: But even those of you who are in high school

254
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: right now, you're going to find that you're going to

255
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: get to a point in your life where you look

256
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: at younger people in absolute disgust and disdain because you're

257
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: going to some consciously hold them to your present day standards.

258
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna look at a seventeen year old kid as

259
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 1: a forty three year old adult one day, and you're

260
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: gonna get mad at the seventeen year old kid because

261
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: he doesn't make decisions the way you would at age

262
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: forty three, and you're gonna forget that once upon a

263
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: time you were seventeen and you didn't think like the

264
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: forty three year old version of you. Does it happens

265
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: to everyone, That happens to every generation. I believe it

266
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: always has. I believe it always will. So I'm not

267
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: forty three years old. I wasn't the one in that example,

268
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: but I am older than seventeen now. So when I

269
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 1: look at a seventeen year old, I sometimes think to myself, Oh,

270
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: it's a shame he doesn't have his priorities in order. Well, look,

271
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: when I was seventeen, I didn't get recruited to play football.

272
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: I got recruited to play baseball. I was so I

273
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,599
Speaker 1: guess the word maybe immature. I lacked perspective enough to

274
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: where I just turned down baseball scholarships. I just decided

275
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to play anymore. Well, of course, I

276
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: look back now and I think that was the dumbest

277
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: thing I ever did. But at the time, I thought

278
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: to myself, oh, man, I've played baseball so long and

279
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: it's almost feeling like it's a job now. You know.

280
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: I listen to some people put some really really bad

281
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: feedback in my head. And my point is, if I

282
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: had twenty or thirty or forty years advanced perspective, well

283
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: I never would have thought like that. I would have

284
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: told myself what I would tell myself today, suck it up.

285
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: It was baseball. It's not war. You're not being sent

286
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: off to some jungle in Vietnam like you're just going

287
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: to You're just going to play college baseball and they're

288
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: going to pay for your education. Well, when it comes

289
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: to high school football recruiting, I know a lot of

290
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: you probably look through a similar lens and you say,

291
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: why can't these kids just view this for what it is.

292
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: It's a forty year decision, it's not a four year decision.

293
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: Don't just go chase the biggest bag. Yes, make some

294
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: money along the way, because it's legal for you to

295
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: do so now, and a lot of us never had

296
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: a problem with kids making money. But make sure that

297
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: you properly prioritize. Go to a place that's going to

298
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: develop you. If someone pays you five hundred thousand dollars

299
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: on the front end, but you had five hundred million

300
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: dollar potential, but they do a terrible job in developing you.

301
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: Well that's how you have a five star go and

302
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: bounce around to three or four different schools and then

303
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: end up being a late round draft pick four years later,

304
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: and then he washes out two years into the league,

305
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: and a decade later you find yourself searching someone on

306
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: Wikipedia saying, I wonder what happened to him? Well, think

307
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: about that, mister, seventeen year old kid. Make sure you're

308
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: cognizant of that, Yeah, it'd be great if everyone thought

309
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: like that. It'd be great if every kid had people

310
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: in his life who thought like that for him. But

311
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: that's not the case. So to go back to the question,

312
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: I would hope, hope, hope, hope that if I had

313
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: elite five star potential and I had the best of

314
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: the best offering me, I would hope I would do

315
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: my due diligence. I would hope it would be very thorough,

316
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: and I would hope that I'd be able to capitalize

317
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: on my name, image and likeness, while at the same

318
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: time maybe taking a little bit less in exchange for

319
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: going to the right program for me. I hope I

320
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: think like that, But having been seventeen years old at

321
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: one point in my life, there's no guarantee. There is

322
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: no guarantee that I would have thought that way at

323
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: that time. I didn't even know what the next day

324
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: brought in my life, just like I didn't even know

325
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: this was going to happen until right now. I think

326
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: it's safe to say I got you there. Pretty safe

327
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: to say anyway. Kyle from Spring, Texas asks maybe the

328
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: most controversial question of the day, because I know this

329
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: is going to be misconstrued. Kyle asks how many SEC

330
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: teams do you think have a realistic shot at making

331
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: the college football playoff? I'm going to repeat the question.

332
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: Kyle asks how many SEC teams? And this is where

333
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: it gets really specific, so pay attention. How many SEC

334
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: teams do you think have a re realistic shot at

335
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: making the college football playoff? What Kyle didn't ask is

336
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: how many SEC teams will make the playoff? Kyle last

337
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: realistic shot? Alabama yes, Arkansas No. Auburn. I'm gonna say no.

338
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: I don't think Auburn has a realistic shot to make

339
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: the playoff, but even then, I don't totally discount them.

340
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: We are talking about a realistic shot, a percentage chance

341
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: that it could happen. Florida, I'm gonna say no, Georgia yes,

342
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: Kentucky there is a fringe possibility there. I can't say no.

343
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: I can't say no. That's three LSU yes, four, Mississippi

344
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: State no, Missouri yes, five, Ole Miss yes, six, South

345
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: Carolina no, Tennessee yes, seven, an M yes. Eight. That's

346
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: not all of them. I thought I had all of

347
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 1: them listed in front of me. Texas yes. Nine. Oklahoma

348
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: on the fringe is yes, that's ten. I think I

349
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: got them all. I was going off the top of

350
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: my head. I would say ten, Kyle, ten out of

351
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: the sixteen have a realistic shot to make the playoff.

352
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: Out of that, I would say the over under is

353
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: two and a half to make it, or maybe three

354
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: and a half. I'm having a hard time deciding how

355
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: the committee is going to approach this so realistic shot.

356
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say nine or ten of them have a

357
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: realistic shot. Grant is next up from Roanoke, Virginia. We

358
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: don't get enough submissions from Ronoke. I've always wondered that

359
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: it's a pretty big city and I get about two

360
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: ron Oakes a year. There's a Ronoke, Alabama that I

361
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: used to visit all the time as a kid with

362
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: me Moll By the way, So Grant asks, what are

363
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the Ain't No Loven Oklahoma song by

364
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: Luke Combs for the Twister soundtrack. Grant, I'm a fan.

365
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: I've always been nervous about Twisters coming out in general

366
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 1: for reasons that I've stated many times. This is going

367
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: to mean a lot to me. It's going to be

368
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: an inflection point in my life, and I'm either gonna

369
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: surge or spiral emotionally based on how this movie goes.

370
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: But also Twister the original had maybe the most underrated

371
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,719
Speaker 1: soundtrack in the history of humanity, and so the Twisters

372
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: soundtrack has a lot to live up to. And so far,

373
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: we've got one song off of it that I know of,

374
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: and it's the Lukecomb song Ain't No Love in Oklahoma.

375
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: I thought it was good, the music videos good. It

376
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: incorporates scenes from the movie, just like No One Needs

377
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 1: To Know by Shania Twain did back in the mid nineties.

378
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: Another hit by the Way Love Love, Shania Twain being

379
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: on both albums, the only artist to appear in both

380
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: Twister movies, which I would argue is the biggest accomplishment

381
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: of Shania Twain's career. I don't even know how she

382
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: argues that. Frankly, she can, but I don't think she should.

383
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: So I like the song. I am again cautiously optimistic

384
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: about the movie, and it's growing by the day now.

385
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: I can't really do anything to stop it at this point.

386
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: Next question is from Travis in Houston, Texas. Why don't

387
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: people remember the magnitude of A and M versus Texas?

388
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 1: People will soon realize it's a top three rivalry. Texas

389
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: versus Texas, A and M was as big, if not

390
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: bigger than the Red River shootout before realignment. Well, the

391
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: last part is opinion. I know some people would agree

392
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: with you there, but and you know what, it's all opinion.

393
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: But the first part especially, I think you're gonna get

394
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: some consensus on here in the not too distant future. Travis,

395
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: I grew up in the South. I grew up just

396
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: north of Columbus, Georgia. It's right on the border of

397
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: Georgia and Alabama. It's really near Auburn. I grew up

398
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: in Merston, the Iron Bowl. I grew up in Merston,

399
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: Georgia Versus Florida, those were the big rivalries. Alabama, Tennessee,

400
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: those were the big rivalries around me. And I knew

401
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: about Ohio State, Michigan, and I knew about Ou Texas.

402
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: But growing up in the South, or in the Southeast especially,

403
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: I always thought OHU Texas was overrated. This is when

404
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: I was growing up. Stay tuned for what I think

405
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: think about it now. I always thought it was overrated

406
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: because this is just me talking. In rural Georgia. I

407
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 1: would grow up and I would look at it and

408
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: I would say, wait, you're telling me they go to

409
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: the fair and play a football game. That doesn't sound

410
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: very intense. This is what ten year old JP was thinking.

411
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: So years later, I've been able to go to that

412
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: game two times in the last three years. Actually, it

413
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: may be my favorite rivalry game now. OU Texas is unbelievable.

414
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: It's the best presentation of college football that I think

415
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: our sport has, which is crazy because it's on a

416
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: neutral field, which I normally hate, but this is one.

417
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: I just love. The Cotton Bowls four hundred and ninety

418
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: three years old thereabouts, and I love it, love everything

419
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: about it. So OU Texas, I think, is getting it's

420
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,239
Speaker 1: due now. I think everyone understands how big a deal

421
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: it is now. But you're right, Texas versus Texas A

422
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: and M was a huge deal not too long ago.

423
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: But it's been gone for a generation define generations as

424
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: about ten years in college football, maybe shorter than that.

425
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: So again, my high school and college audience, you guys

426
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: don't know about an M versus Texas, And I'm telling you,

427
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: when Texas comes into the SEC, a couple of things

428
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: are going to happen. So Texas and O you both

429
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: come into the SEC. Therefore the Red River Shootout comes

430
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: into the SEC, and we're going to find out who

431
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: has the stones to call it the Red River Shootout

432
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: first off, and secondly, we're going to find out as

433
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: a conference, if you grew up in the footprint of

434
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: the SEC, there is a big challenger to the Iron

435
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: Bowl for biggest rivalry in the conference. And I know

436
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: how how sacrilegious that is to say to some of you,

437
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: but it's real. It's real. It's a very very premier rivalry.

438
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: But the other thing is it brings back Texas versus Texas,

439
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: A and M. And I think that's the rivalryed like

440
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: you said, Travis, that is poised to explode back onto

441
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: the national scene because I just don't think people are

442
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: realizing it's back yet. They do. Out in Texas, you

443
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: guys do. You're from Houston, Travis, you guys do. But

444
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: someone in Gary, Indiana, is someone in bangor Maine, someone

445
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: outside the South who just loves college football, and they're

446
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: not thinking about that right now. It's all the way

447
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: at the end of the year and it hasn't been

448
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: on your radar. You're not thinking about that. But when

449
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: they play that game this November, two days after Thanksgiving,

450
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: Kyle Field, I don't care if the teams are struggling

451
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: to make a bowl game or they're both in playoff contention,

452
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: it will be. It may be the most intense environment

453
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: of the year. And I'm counting Michigan going to Ohio State.

454
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: I'm counting all that. There is just pure, unadult traded

455
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: hatred in Texas versus Texas, A and M. And these

456
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: people at A and M thought they had gotten away

457
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: from them. These folks at A and M thought they

458
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: never got a fair shot in the Southwest Conference because

459
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: of Texas. They thought they never got a fair shot

460
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: in the Big Twelve because of Texas. And they got

461
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: away and they got to the SEC back in twenty twelve,

462
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: I think it was, and they thought they were done

463
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 1: with Texas, and they found themselves a home, and they

464
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 1: found themselves a conference that could appreciate them and treat

465
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: them as equals. And then Texas comes along a decade later.

466
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: You understand how that makes them feel. I don't think

467

Speaker 1: you do. And so yeah, it's gonna be It's gonna

00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: next up, he said. Have most college football fans realized

493
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: that this year's National Championship game, although still on a Monday,

494
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: is being played on a federal holiday. I would still

495
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 1: much prefer the game to be played on a Saturday,

496
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: but most of us having the whole day to enjoy

497
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: festivities and properly celebrate our sport is still huge. I

498
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: don't think it is. I respect and appreciate the submission here,

499
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it is. First off, is Martin Luther

500
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: King Junior Day, and that's the federal holiday for those

501
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: of you who are wondering which day it is. And

502
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: so what we're gonna have is we're gonna have a

503
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: championship game for a Saturday sport that's still inexplicably played

504
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: on a Monday. Do not try and man explain to me.

505
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: Why it's on a Monday. I get it, guys. I

506
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: know how television works, I know how ratings work. I

507
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 1: live in this world. I know how the NFL works.

508
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: I know they're on Saturday that time of year. I

509
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: live in this world. I get it. I get it.

510
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: I get it. I don't care, nor should you, because

511
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't impact you. You should love what you love

512
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: and go watch it whenever it is and want it

513
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: wherever you want it. None of you actually want this

514
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: game on Mondays. None of you do. We want it

515
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: on Saturdays because that's when our sport's supposed to be played.

516
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: But long ago suits decided it needed to be played

517
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: on a Monday night. And now what are we having

518
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: to do? Instead of trying to fight the good Saturday fight,

519
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: we're trying to find reasons to be excited like this. Well, hey,

520
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: it's on a Monday again this year, but at least

521
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: it's a federal holiday. I'm in prison for life, but

522
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: at least they gave me two slices of bread today. Rationalist,

523
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: buck guy, this is irrational, my friend. No, I'm not

524
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: excited about that. I'm excited about the game, and I'll

525
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: be there no matter what obviously, but I'm not excited

526
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: about that. And the other thing is, as I understand it,

527
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: you guys would rather have Tuesday off. As you explain

528
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,239
Speaker 1: it to me, you would rather have Tuesday off than

529
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: Monday off because you would rather not have to watch

530
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: the game on a Monday night and know when I

531
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: got to be at work in eight hours because the

532
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: game starts a little bit later and not as late

533
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: as the basketball national title I'll grant you that. Am

534
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: I wrong in that? Would you guys, if you had

535
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: either or and if the game has to be on

536
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: a Monday, would you rather have that Monday off or

537
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: that Tuesday off? I think a lot of you would

538
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: rather have the Tuesday off. Forget about going to the

539
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: game plus day. Long since stopped caring about whether you

540
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: could afford to go to the game or not. Anyway,

541
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: that's a corporate event. I go to every one of

542
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: these national title games. The conference title games are a

543
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: more charged environment than the national title is. It's been

544
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,239
Speaker 1: that way for a while, so I can't change that.

545
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: But I'm saying you tell me, cause I'm gonna I'm

546
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: gonna be there. I get to take those off days

547
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: either way. But if you work in normal nine to

548
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: five Monday through Friday, but we got a federal holiday.

549
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: Would you rather that federal holiday be that Monday or

550
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: that Tuesday. I think you'd rather it be that Tuesday

551
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: if you're not going to the game anyway. That's just

552
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: me though. Next up, l quarter Pounder. Oh, no, I

553
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: just deleted his question? Where did it go? Okay, well,

554
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: I loosely remember it. Man, that sucks. It was well

555
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: worded to so oh there it is. No, that's not it.

556
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: All right, forget about it. I'm not even deleting this.

557
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: This is a mess, but I'm not deleting it. So

558
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: he said something along the lines of how much do

559
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: matchups affect power ratings? He said, sometimes it may be

560
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: that team A is power rated higher than Team B,

561
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: but team B happens to have a couple of matchup

562
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: advantages that dictate the outcome of the game. Well, to me,

563
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: that's the difference in letting a computer make your picks

564
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: versus using a computer to help you make your picks.

565
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: So the way we do it with the model is

566
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: the model is calibrated and has been for a number

567
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: of years now, to give us, you know, basically raw

568
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: output on what we would expect a game to look

569
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: like over ten thousand simulations of that game. Now, from

570
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: that point, a couple of days later, on a Saturday,

571
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: real life human beings are going to go play one

572
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: version of that game. It could differ wildly, but in

573
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: the long run, we hit against the spread at a

574
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: very high percentage level relatively speaking in betting terms, to

575
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: where we're comfortable we have that model calibrated right. But

576
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: having said that, we then have to dive into the

577
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: details in the weeds a little bit. And that's where

578
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: you better know your stuff. You better know your stuff

579
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: enough to tweak the output, but also not insert yourself

580
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: and let your biases and emotions, which exist in every

581
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: one of us, no matter how analytical our minds are,

582
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: pollute and contaminate the final product. And it's the same

583
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: way in recruiting to a certain degree, my class could

584
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: be ranked number one and your class could be ranked

585
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: number thirteen, but you could have the better class. How

586
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: is that? Well, what if I took nothing but offensive players.

587
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: I just took wide receivers, running backs. I took a

588
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: couple of tackles and a quarterback and they're all like

589
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: four and five stars. And I got the number one

590
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: class in the country. Well what am I? I'm Lincoln

591
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: Riley in the past. That's what I am. To give

592
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: you an example of what that team would look like.

593
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a lot of firepower, but it doesn't

594
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: matter because I can't stop anyone whereas you. You may

595
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: have been Michigan, Michigan's rank in that you know, anywhere

596
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: from seven to twenty range over the past few years.

597
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: But what did they do. They built a football team,

598
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: and so they haven't beaten me in recruiting quote unquote,

599
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: but they've beaten me on the field. Well, what's the

600
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: same way with model output? What if what if I

601
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: have waited things properly and across the board, the computer

602
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: says you should beat me thirty to twenty four and

603
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: a half on average. But I have a quarterback tied

604
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: end combination and connection that in the red zone is

605
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: just going to give you fits and it's gonna end

606
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: up being the difference in like seventeen points in our

607
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,959
Speaker 1: game this Saturday. Well, you can't factor in two players

608
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: being worth seventeen points, but your instinct can say this

609
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: is a glaring mismatch here, This matchup could tilt everything

610
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: else in this game off its axis. Yeah, I think

611
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,239
Speaker 1: that has to be part of your equation. But at

612
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: the same time, you have to avoid inserting yourself into

613
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: a process that holistically you know is more dependable than

614
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: you using your gut to make picks. Host Steve Dos

615
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: Steve from Fort Lauderdale, is up next. When Miami gets

616
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: into the playoff and makes some waves, where do you

617
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: think they'll end up in recruiting in twenty twenty five?

618
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: He said, when not if that's a spoiler alert, If

619
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: Miami were to make the playoff, it would kick the

620
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: door down in recruiting. I think for them, they're already

621
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: doing good. But the way you recruit against Miami right

622
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: now is pretty simple. If your a rival staff, you're

623
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: probably not going to outspend them, but you can come

624
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: close and then you can tell them, hey, you can

625
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: come here and make the playoff. They haven't proven they

626
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: can do it. That's it. That's the pitch. The pitch

627
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: is you go to Miami. You may get paid a

628
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: lot of money, but you won't get developed, and you

629
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: won't play at the highest level, and you won't be

630
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: there at the end of the season like we will.

631
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: Be at filling the blank university. But if Mario and

632
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: Miami go make the playoff, all of that is rendered moot.

633
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: It takes the last bullet out of my chamber of

634
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: negative recruiting against Miami. And so it's not that they're

635
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: a poverty recruiting program now by any stretch. They're already

636
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: recruiting very well. But if they were to make the playoff,

637
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: I don't even care. If it's a twelve seed and

638
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: they get put out in the first round, you can't

639
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: say can't anymore. Right now, people say Mario can't fill

640
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: in the blank, do this, do that, he can't do this,

641
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: Miami can't do that. Well, if they're in, then they can,

642
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: and they did, and then they can sell that. That's

643
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: just the beginning. We'll continue to do it moving forward.

644
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: This is the worst our roster will look. Watch what

645
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: happens when we keep recruiting, and you can be part

646
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: of that. You can help put Miami football back on

647
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: the map. Imagine how they'll talk about you thirty forty

648
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: fifty years from now. And they may not be wrong

649
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: about that, by the way. So yeah, it would be

650
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: a pretty fundamental shift in a lot of ways. If

651
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: Miami were to make that playoff, I've got to make

652
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: a flight, so I've got to get out of here.
