<v Speaker 2>We have a Liptop.

0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:22.759
<v Speaker 1>Thirty two UFO show, Dan, it is twenty twenty one.

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Happy New Year's to one end all and welcome back

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:32.320
<v Speaker 1>to our first UFO show of this new calendar year,

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:36.599
<v Speaker 1>the upgradeable Friday Orbit. Daniel, how are you?

0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm good. We're recording this in twenty twenty December thirty first.

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 2>So if we have an unexpected Y two K twenty twenty,

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 2>rollover to twenty twenty one issue and we are now

0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 2>being listened to in a post apocalyptic world, right, sure,

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Remember to be kind to your neighbors, share water, share

0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:05.120
<v Speaker 2>supplies if you're going to loose, loot kindly. And if

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:08.480
<v Speaker 2>there is no apocalyptic situation at the onset because of

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 2>some sort of digital tragedy, hope everybody's twenty twenty one

0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:12.640
<v Speaker 2>is going well so far.

0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 1>You know now that we've branched out a little bit

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 1>into the whole Twitch market, and we've been playing games,

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:19.839
<v Speaker 1>and you're going to play games at some point soon,

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>I know solid life. Kate's been watching one game in

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:26.480
<v Speaker 1>particular called Rust, which, as she described to me, I

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:27.399
<v Speaker 1>know nothing about it.

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh, she watches this, She watches people stream a game

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 2>called Rust on Twitch.

0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Correct. I believe Rust is like a post apocalyptic type

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 1>of scenario as you described, or you kind of band

0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:41.360
<v Speaker 1>together and do what you can to survive. How would

0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:42.479
<v Speaker 1>you do in a game like that.

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I would be terrible. I have very limited skills

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 2>in terms of life I can change a tire. I

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 2>guess that would help out on the open road. I

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 2>have a certain degree of charm in the real world

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 2>that might be able to get me places, but no

0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 2>in terms of fighting, In terms of survival out in nature,

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 2>I would say quite too, very limited.

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.080
<v Speaker 1>We're living in the digital age, Dan, that's the problem

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 1>with you and me. Yeah, get us out there. We

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 1>got a rough it. I don't know how that's going

0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 1>to go. I can cook, I can I could probably

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.680
<v Speaker 1>make a fire I've had. I could definitely make an

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:17.640
<v Speaker 1>make a fire if I had to.

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, But hand to hand combat over a raccoon

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 2>carcass for dinner, I just I don't know. I might

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 2>be losing that carcass.

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:31.240
<v Speaker 1>So look, we're not here to talk about the negativity

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.760
<v Speaker 1>in the world, because we've all experienced more than enough

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 1>of that over the last calendar year. Twenty twenty was

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>not what it was supposed to be, right, but we

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>got what we got. We did get a college football season.

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 1>We can talk about how that felt to live through,

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.400
<v Speaker 1>both on this show and at some point in the

0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 1>very near future. Hint, hint, nudge, nudge. But that being said, Dan,

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:57.799
<v Speaker 1>it is New Year's Day, as many of you are

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>listening to this, even though we're recording in twenty twenty,

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 1>and given that we had a goofy year where so

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 1>much of what we took for granted just wasn't meant

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:11.080
<v Speaker 1>to be or made itself very apparent, I thought maybe

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 1>we could take the opportunity today to give some New

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.839
<v Speaker 1>Year's resolutions to our fine for baller hood. And these

0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.640
<v Speaker 1>are not just like I'm not talking personal resolutions. I

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 1>want to work out more, right, everyone wants to work

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 1>out more. I'm talking as college football fans. What are

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 1>our New Year's resolutions as we move forward?

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you have personal ones? Do you make them? I

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:32.120
<v Speaker 2>mean what we can get to them at the end

0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:33.080
<v Speaker 2>of the show. Potentially.

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not good at resolutions. I don't I'm not good

0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 1>at setting goals, which, as my wife tells me, I'm

0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>not good at thinking things through in advance.

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 2>So these all sound like resolutions.

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Generally, I am not. I am not good at thinking

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 1>things through in advance, So maybe that's one. Maybe maybe

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 1>I need to take a beat and before I jump,

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>think a little bit.

0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 2>But no, I'm not.

0:03:56.320 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm not good at goal setting okay are you?

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 2>No, not at all, but I need to That's something

0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:03.880
<v Speaker 2>I need to improve upon. I need to be more

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 2>organized about my goals and checking off tasks. I'm very

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 2>good actually at writing, like this is what I need

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 2>to do this Thursday. And then I do three of

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.520
<v Speaker 2>them and I'm like, I wonder what's on sale at Amazon.

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 2>That's what happens, Like, Oh, I need to pay the

0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 2>electric bill and then I go on to Chrome or whatever.

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, hmm, let's see what deals are happening in

0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 2>the electronics world.

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, exactly.

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So no, I need to get better at that

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 2>for sure. And I need to get way more yoked.

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 2>I definitely need to get more yoked.

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, who doesn't need to get more yoked?

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 2>But that's true.

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 1>This is where we stand jacked.

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let's make college football resolutions about how we want

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.479
<v Speaker 2>to live as college football fans and or podcasters in

0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:49.160
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty one and beyond. How about that?

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:53.080
<v Speaker 1>I think that's an excellent idea. So with that as

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.599
<v Speaker 1>the backdrop, you know where the show is headed. Will

0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 1>you know? There were a bunch of games that took

0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>place that are continuing to take place, literally as we

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.720
<v Speaker 1>record this podcast. We are going to save the grand

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:08.720
<v Speaker 1>recap show for Sunday because once we get the Sunday

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.120
<v Speaker 1>and Monday that we'll have a bunch of games under

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 1>our belt. We can talk about the playoff, We could

0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 1>talk about some of the other New Year's six games.

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:16.760
<v Speaker 1>We want to try and get those all in one

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:20.560
<v Speaker 1>fell swoop. We know that Oklahoma ran it up on Florida.

0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.599
<v Speaker 1>We know that Dan Mullen had more dumb things to say.

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:27.560
<v Speaker 1>We know about Deeric King's horrible injury. Hopefully, knock on wood,

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.880
<v Speaker 1>he will be back in time for fall camp. That's

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 1>at least purther reports from Bruce Feldman. But just a

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.200
<v Speaker 1>horrible break for Deeric King. Not just in Miami losing

0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.239
<v Speaker 1>the Bowl game, who cares about that, but him tearing

0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:41.440
<v Speaker 1>his acl right after announcing that he's coming back is

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:45.160
<v Speaker 1>a huge bummer. We could talk about Texas running it

0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:47.880
<v Speaker 1>up on Colorado and the picture of Sam Ellinger wearing

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Texas gear at the game as a kid, which was

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 1>one of our Winter Wonders selections. That we can also

0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:58.160
<v Speaker 1>talk about the Yes Winter Wisconsin and whatnot, but we'll

0:05:58.200 --> 0:05:58.880
<v Speaker 1>get to all of that.

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 2>I want to be very specific. Well, let's talk about

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.200
<v Speaker 2>Florida Oklahoma on a next show or whatever the next

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 2>time we do recaps. But the Dan Mullen stuff after

0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.919
<v Speaker 2>the game, I didn't watch the clip. I saw some quotes,

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:15.800
<v Speaker 2>so maybe I'm missing context. I'm open to that. What

0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:19.400
<v Speaker 2>I saw was he said, As far as I'm concerned,

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm paraphrasing here once again. Our final game was against

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Alabama last week. Was that like the crux basically what

0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:27.479
<v Speaker 2>he said, basically saying it was sort of they'd treated

0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 2>it like a walkthrough exhibition, no big deal, not a

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 2>real game against a really good Oklahoma team on a

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.040
<v Speaker 2>national stage in a New Year six game. That was

0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:40.280
<v Speaker 2>the essence, I believe. So yeah, And they did accept

0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:41.880
<v Speaker 2>the check that came.

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.360
<v Speaker 1>With the I believe I believe they accepted the check.

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 1>This is the same guy who argued to have more

0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 1>fans in the stands and then flip flopped a number

0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:52.560
<v Speaker 1>of times on I guess just how intense or non

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:54.680
<v Speaker 1>intense you should be about the college football season.

0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:55.760
<v Speaker 2>So it's just right.

0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.599
<v Speaker 1>I like Dan Mullen as a coach, but as I

0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>think we've come to know about a lot of which

0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 1>is the more they talk, the less sometimes we all

0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.839
<v Speaker 1>should listen. And Mullen has certainly found himself in that

0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.719
<v Speaker 1>drawer throughout the course of the twenty twenty football season.

0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:13.280
<v Speaker 2>I did see to be fair. As for the terms,

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.480
<v Speaker 2>this is from gatorsports dot com. As for the terms

0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.480
<v Speaker 2>of his contract, Mullen was due to receive a two

0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.000
<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand dollars bonus for reaching a New Year six Bowl,

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 2>but he and his coaching staff will forego bonuses this

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.240
<v Speaker 2>season due to the ongoing COVID nineteen.

0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 1>That's nice. That's a nice gesture.

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 2>So I imagine the school is still in the conference is

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 2>still happy to accept that cash. But it isn't. It

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:35.560
<v Speaker 2>is nice, and this is what a lot of coaches

0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.080
<v Speaker 2>have done, so sure that that is at least nice

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.840
<v Speaker 2>and beneficial of the school and athletic departments and the

0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:46.120
<v Speaker 2>bottom line that has been greatly affected literally everywhere. Now,

0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.280
<v Speaker 2>with that being said, we know that there are games

0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.320
<v Speaker 2>going on. We're going to do a recaps Mayo Bowl

0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:56.080
<v Speaker 2>and the trophy at the Mayo Bowl shattering. We're going

0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:58.680
<v Speaker 2>to do all that thirstiest bull of them all.

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.640
<v Speaker 1>All that stuff. We're going to recap on our Sunday recording.

0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:02.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Now, resolutions, Happy twenty twenty one. It is great to

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 1>see you, twenty twenty one. You could not get here

0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.680
<v Speaker 1>soon enough. Hopefully we put a lot of this behind us.

0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:15.160
<v Speaker 1>We can move forward without a virus and play a

0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 1>normal college football season. There. Okay, those are the table stakes.

0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 1>We're all united behind that as fans, Dan, or as

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:28.640
<v Speaker 1>a fan in your case, do you have any resolutions

0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:29.440
<v Speaker 1>as we move forward?

0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.160
<v Speaker 2>I've got like a what's a ten sided shape? A

0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 2>do decahedron? A decaheat do decahedron is twelve. Okay, so

0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.480
<v Speaker 2>a ten sided shape is called on That's the shape

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:41.439
<v Speaker 2>of my resolution.

0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 1>It would be a deca something.

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Ten sided shape is a deca gone, A deca gone.

0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:50.120
<v Speaker 2>There you go, yeah, a deca gone. Okay. This is

0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.080
<v Speaker 2>a single resolution that I want just as a college

0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 2>football fan and podcaster, I want to dig deeper into

0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:01.439
<v Speaker 2>the group of five for specific entertainment players and units

0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:06.880
<v Speaker 2>more often. And that's not because of anything. I you know,

0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:11.040
<v Speaker 2>feel big picture about the sport. It's tough to follow

0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:14.079
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and thirty teams. But every time I find

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:17.040
<v Speaker 2>myself looking at a team because there's like a big match,

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, oh, man, this dude is everywhere, and I'll

0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 2>watch like previous games like oh, this receiver is fully unstoppable.

0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.440
<v Speaker 2>You know. I want to be able to be in

0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.360
<v Speaker 2>on those guys earlier than I have been. I just

0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 2>usually do it ahead of a big game. I want

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.800
<v Speaker 2>to do a better job earlier on because even though

0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:35.600
<v Speaker 2>a team is like you know, oh they're three and four,

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Like what, you know, why are we caring about this team?

0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:41.240
<v Speaker 2>There's all like they're just dudes on every team. I

0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:45.079
<v Speaker 2>want to be better in my dude hunting by that phrase.

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah great, I do well.

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.840
<v Speaker 1>If Coastal Carolina taught us anything this year, it's that

0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:54.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe you're onto something right. So again, consider the context

0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:58.280
<v Speaker 1>of the twenty twenty season. Teams will playing all sorts

0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:02.120
<v Speaker 1>of different numbers of games. Right, Ohio State's in the

0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 1>playoff at six and zero. Meanwhile, we've got other teams

0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 1>that some have played eleven or twelve, and I think

0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:14.240
<v Speaker 1>because of the very structure of this season, it gave

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.440
<v Speaker 1>us an opportunity to pay more attention to a team

0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:20.040
<v Speaker 1>like a Coastal Carolina. And definitely they were one of,

0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:23.360
<v Speaker 1>if not the best stories of the entire year. It

0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 1>was fun as hell to watch them, and I think

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.480
<v Speaker 1>in a normal year it might have gotten left on

0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 1>the cutting room Florida in because we've got so much

0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 1>other FBS football that we got to cover and Power

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.440
<v Speaker 1>five football that we're talking about, that we just can't

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.560
<v Speaker 1>pay attention to a guy like a Grayson McCall like

0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:42.120
<v Speaker 1>we would or like we did in twenty twenty. So

0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.320
<v Speaker 1>I am with you. I would kind of build on

0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.679
<v Speaker 1>that a little bit and say that I want to

0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 1>do better, be more out spoken. I don't know how

0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:58.800
<v Speaker 1>to characterize it with regard to how do we make

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.920
<v Speaker 1>this a more equal playing field for those group of

0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:05.200
<v Speaker 1>five schools. I'm tired just of calling them the group

0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:08.600
<v Speaker 1>of five schools. It's like they're a second class. Yeah,

0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.520
<v Speaker 1>the term group of five. Actually, I agree with you.

0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:13.200
<v Speaker 1>It kind of just sucks.

0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:18.439
<v Speaker 2>Because it's it's sort of like a others JV terminology. Yeah,

0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:22.360
<v Speaker 2>it's stupid, and you know, we have done far, far

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:24.960
<v Speaker 2>too many wrong things and referencing just like yep, this

0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:28.320
<v Speaker 2>these this grouping of others group of five, and you know,

0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:30.080
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's whoever came up with the group of five

0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.240
<v Speaker 2>thing is to blame as well. But uh yeah, let's

0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:34.719
<v Speaker 2>let's be much more specific.

0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.240
<v Speaker 1>We have to walk a fine balance on this show too,

0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:40.240
<v Speaker 1>because the overwhelming majority of the people who listen are

0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.640
<v Speaker 1>fans of Power five schools. Definitely, if we dive too

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:46.240
<v Speaker 1>deep into the I'm going to say a group of

0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:49.080
<v Speaker 1>five stuff, We're going to lose folks, and that's also

0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.920
<v Speaker 1>not going to be helpful for our business. But we

0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.320
<v Speaker 1>need to find a way to walk that balance. And

0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:56.319
<v Speaker 1>now I don't know, I don't know how we do it.

0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:58.920
<v Speaker 1>We could probably start in the new year by coming

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.520
<v Speaker 1>up with our own name for the Group of five.

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's rebrand it, let's take that as one of our

0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:05.640
<v Speaker 1>official resolutions here.

0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:10.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, I would argue, so I'm just going to the

0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 2>conferences and the stories there in the Group of five

0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:19.560
<v Speaker 2>have become more interesting with Power five conferences by and

0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:23.720
<v Speaker 2>large becoming less competitive. How many times has Oklahoma won

0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:25.800
<v Speaker 2>the Big twelve, you know, these past few years? How

0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.520
<v Speaker 2>many times has you know Ohio State won the Big Ten?

0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:31.000
<v Speaker 2>How many times is Clemson? How many times has? I

0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 2>guess the SEC has been weirdly more up in the

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:39.000
<v Speaker 2>air with Georgia, Alabama, LSU all winning recently. But we're

0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.760
<v Speaker 2>talking about the same teams over and over. And meanwhile,

0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.640
<v Speaker 2>in the American, in the MAC in the Mountain West,

0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:48.880
<v Speaker 2>we're seeing more volatility and more competition at the top

0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 2>in a lot of cases, you know, year over year.

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.760
<v Speaker 2>So in a number of ways, what the Power five

0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:57.199
<v Speaker 2>is doing at the top has aided my own interest

0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:01.360
<v Speaker 2>in some of these other conferences. As I say, well, all.

0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Right, good one, that was a good one.

0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, what do you have?

0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:09.080
<v Speaker 1>I want to call bs on anyone in the college

0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:16.800
<v Speaker 1>football universe. Uh oh claiming that something is not logistically possible. Okay,

0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:19.480
<v Speaker 1>I want to be more mindful of that, because this

0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:24.480
<v Speaker 1>was always the laziest argument against doing a playoff, if

0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:31.320
<v Speaker 1>you recall, until suddenly it vanished. Suddenly it vanished amid

0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:35.079
<v Speaker 1>public pressure, with a ton of money on the table,

0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:41.120
<v Speaker 1>probably a thousand other factors as well. Even still, that

0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:45.920
<v Speaker 1>logistics argument had never fully been put to the test

0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:49.040
<v Speaker 1>in the way that it was in twenty twenty, Notre

0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:53.559
<v Speaker 1>Dame can't join a conference exactly. That's not logistically possible,

0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.920
<v Speaker 1>seeing as how we played a high level college football

0:13:56.960 --> 0:14:02.840
<v Speaker 1>game with sixty hours, sixty hours of lead time. I

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:06.959
<v Speaker 1>have to believe, I have to believe that almost anything

0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:10.240
<v Speaker 1>is possible moving forward. I did not say easy. I

0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:13.560
<v Speaker 1>know it's not easy, but just don't tell me it

0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:18.760
<v Speaker 1>is logistically impossible, because after what we just went through Sun,

0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:21.440
<v Speaker 1>everything is possible. You can find a way to make

0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 1>it happen. They did in BYU Coastal, they did on

0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:28.520
<v Speaker 1>like a thousand other different fronts during the twenty twenty season.

0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:30.960
<v Speaker 1>We can do it, we can do it.

0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I agree with you, though that was a very

0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:36.360
<v Speaker 2>specific situation, and that BYU is an independent team that

0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:40.800
<v Speaker 2>had a buy that week, so that was an advantageous situation.

0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:43.600
<v Speaker 2>There is an element to college football that we all

0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:46.120
<v Speaker 2>know and we all understand. That's just like, this is

0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:49.000
<v Speaker 2>how we've always done things, So this is how we're

0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:52.080
<v Speaker 2>going to do things now. Obviously, when you throw that

0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:56.520
<v Speaker 2>the wrench of twenty twenty into everything, then it becomes okay,

0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:58.880
<v Speaker 2>well we're changing schedules and like up two weeks later,

0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:03.080
<v Speaker 2>we're changing schedules. Again, I think the malleyability element to

0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:06.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty was pretty eye opening, and not always in

0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:08.280
<v Speaker 2>a good way. That like, oh, maybe the Big Ten

0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:10.360
<v Speaker 2>isn't as organized as they should be in terms of

0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 2>messaging and executing a schedule and a set of rules.

0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:22.720
<v Speaker 2>So what I come down is tradition is both the

0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:26.920
<v Speaker 2>appeal and a problem of college football, right, Like, it's

0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.880
<v Speaker 2>just it's easy to look at the sport and say, yeah,

0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.640
<v Speaker 2>there's so many amazing things about the traditions of these

0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:35.760
<v Speaker 2>teams and these conferences and these rivalries, but then you

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.240
<v Speaker 2>get stuck in the mud where like, yeah, the tradition

0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.960
<v Speaker 2>is we schedule teams nine years in advance. Why I

0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:44.480
<v Speaker 2>don't know, just because we're nervous about filling things and

0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:46.680
<v Speaker 2>we want to make sure everything is set Like well, okay,

0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 2>well what if we came up with a new way

0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:51.160
<v Speaker 2>of doing things. So I think this is dead on

0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:55.000
<v Speaker 2>for you. That it's not that college football needs to

0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:57.920
<v Speaker 2>be brought into the twenty first century, because I think

0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.040
<v Speaker 2>they've done a relatively good job of improving things, albeit slowly.

0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:06.360
<v Speaker 2>It's more the why don't we rethink the organization the

0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:09.800
<v Speaker 2>way this sport is organized while maintaining it's sort of like,

0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.400
<v Speaker 2>isn't there like a new Mustang electric car that still

0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.000
<v Speaker 2>looks like a Mustang, but its kind of brand new guts.

0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:16.680
<v Speaker 2>That's the way I think we need to think about

0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.440
<v Speaker 2>college football and the structure thereof.

0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and as a related point, I want to do

0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:27.640
<v Speaker 1>everything in my power to remember that the playoff committee

0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:30.640
<v Speaker 1>decided it needed to meet in person to pick four teams.

0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:35.600
<v Speaker 1>They were insistent on meeting in person. Now, look, we

0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:38.920
<v Speaker 1>talked to a broad spectrum. I mean, you were hacking

0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:43.480
<v Speaker 1>foreign governments remotely via zoom. Sure, so we talked to

0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:45.880
<v Speaker 1>a broad spectrum of people out there. I'm not going

0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.680
<v Speaker 1>to tell you how to feel about this here virus.

0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Just stay safe and stay away from people. It just

0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:53.160
<v Speaker 1>let's try it out to spread it because no one want, said,

0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.600
<v Speaker 1>you want to get sick. But totally we could put

0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:59.480
<v Speaker 1>all that to the side, and I think agree that

0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:02.520
<v Speaker 1>the argue even by the playoff committee, that they just

0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.560
<v Speaker 1>couldn't do what they had to do, which was picked

0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:10.359
<v Speaker 1>four obvious teams over zoom, because you know, sitting on

0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:14.199
<v Speaker 1>zoom for all these hours is just it's hard. We

0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.399
<v Speaker 1>all know it's hard. We've all been doing it for

0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:18.040
<v Speaker 1>the last year. Shut up.

0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And how many of these like older gentlemen and

0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:26.520
<v Speaker 2>ladies on the committee are chasing toddlers around. My guess

0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:28.440
<v Speaker 2>is Bill Hancock is not chasing toddlers around.

0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:30.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And my guess is they're all hopping on zoom

0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.639
<v Speaker 1>calls with their family anyway. So don't give me and

0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:36.479
<v Speaker 1>their day jobs and they just don't give me. And

0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:40.320
<v Speaker 1>that's a small thing, right, That's a small thing, super small.

0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:43.800
<v Speaker 1>It's a super tiny thing. But it speaks to their

0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:47.240
<v Speaker 1>way of thinking, the way of thinking, and the broader point,

0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:48.920
<v Speaker 1>like you said, of this is the way we've always

0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:50.800
<v Speaker 1>done things. They did not all need to be in

0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:53.280
<v Speaker 1>a room. Okay, I don't care about the virus, I

0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:57.520
<v Speaker 1>don't whatever. Just don't try to make that argument. Think differently.

0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Zoom's a thing, people are comfortable with it very easily

0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:03.120
<v Speaker 1>could have done that anyway. That's neither here nor there.

0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:07.280
<v Speaker 1>But I am I am as just to put a

0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:10.240
<v Speaker 1>bow on this, I'm going to call bs on the

0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:15.240
<v Speaker 1>whole logistic impossibility thing whenever I hear it and think

0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:17.200
<v Speaker 1>about it differently, because.

0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:20.800
<v Speaker 2>It's like, what are the logistics are scheduling like, what

0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:24.040
<v Speaker 2>what do you feel like is schedulings.

0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:26.320
<v Speaker 1>One scheduling's won right nine years in advance? You you

0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.080
<v Speaker 1>called that one out. I think we're probably coming to

0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:32.840
<v Speaker 1>a point with the playoff where we're going to start

0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:34.879
<v Speaker 1>talking about adding games. I don't know when that's going

0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:37.480
<v Speaker 1>to happen, not privy to anything, but it's going there.

0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:40.640
<v Speaker 1>It's going there because we've had the same two teams,

0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:44.440
<v Speaker 1>three teams in this thing however many years now, So

0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:46.760
<v Speaker 1>it's getting there. It's going to come there sooner than later.

0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:50.679
<v Speaker 1>And you never have name image likeness, right, Well, that

0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:53.400
<v Speaker 1>was going to be my next point. Yeah, the video game,

0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:57.600
<v Speaker 1>the video game name in like that, that's specific. Yeah, name,

0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:00.320
<v Speaker 1>image and likeness could bring about all sorts of in

0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:04.280
<v Speaker 1>college football, and the logistics of that, again will be

0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:07.720
<v Speaker 1>difficult for teams to manage. How do you manage that

0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.879
<v Speaker 1>if you're a school? I don't know, but my guess

0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:12.600
<v Speaker 1>is smart people can figure it out if we sit

0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:15.480
<v Speaker 1>down and think about it. Right, let's sit down and

0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:18.080
<v Speaker 1>think about it. Let's not be rooted in the past,

0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:21.240
<v Speaker 1>and let's try to hack this thing together here figure

0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:22.840
<v Speaker 1>out the best way to do. Like, there's a thousand

0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:25.639
<v Speaker 1>things in college football that I think fall into this

0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:30.720
<v Speaker 1>category of being argued about as logistically impossible, which really aren't.

0:19:31.160 --> 0:19:34.239
<v Speaker 1>They're more difficult and they are challenging, but we can

0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:34.600
<v Speaker 1>figure it.

0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Out, right, I mean, I think the postseason in general, right,

0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:40.040
<v Speaker 2>I know, we got a question about this for our

0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:42.360
<v Speaker 2>bruin A which we're recording in a little bit here,

0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:44.439
<v Speaker 2>but somebody was asking about, like, you know, ESPN is

0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:46.840
<v Speaker 2>on this broadcast asking about, like, how do we make

0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:49.000
<v Speaker 2>the Bulls more important? Everybody? You know, We've got all

0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:51.080
<v Speaker 2>these great bowl games, but people don't seem to like

0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:54.359
<v Speaker 2>want to talk about all these games. I'm again paraphrasing

0:19:57.200 --> 0:20:00.760
<v Speaker 2>ESPN Owning everything may not be the best thing. If

0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:03.520
<v Speaker 2>they're mentioning the playoff and putting up playoff graphics and

0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 2>playoff hypotheticals on a Wisconsin Illinois game, you know everything.

0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:11.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if ESPN did that game specifically, but

0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:14.199
<v Speaker 2>just a random game early on that doesn't necessarily have

0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:19.480
<v Speaker 2>playoff implications. The discussion around Bowls and the discussion around

0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:23.360
<v Speaker 2>where we are as a sport in twenty twenty one

0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:27.080
<v Speaker 2>now is kind of fascinating. You have guys opting out

0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:29.600
<v Speaker 2>of these bowl games like if your day job TI

0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:32.879
<v Speaker 2>said you're doing a great job, we want you to

0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:38.600
<v Speaker 2>start working thirty eight saturdays a year, your response would be,

0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:41.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, but how much more are you paying me?

0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Would probably be in some way a reality. And I

0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:50.000
<v Speaker 2>think we are approaching a point where as we see

0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:53.720
<v Speaker 2>opt outs, as we see guys declaring for the NFL Draft,

0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:56.080
<v Speaker 2>and as we see guys saying, you know, I mean

0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:58.280
<v Speaker 2>this year is very specific because of COVID and public

0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:01.280
<v Speaker 2>health stuff, and teams opt out because of the process

0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:03.679
<v Speaker 2>they had to go through to actually play games. I

0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:07.200
<v Speaker 2>think we're going to reach a point where, like Bowls

0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:11.080
<v Speaker 2>mattered before, because that was the postseason. You know, we

0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:14.400
<v Speaker 2>were watching games. We were watching games all New Year's Day,

0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:18.959
<v Speaker 2>and this was they were showcases because college games, by

0:21:19.000 --> 0:21:23.000
<v Speaker 2>and large were not nationally broadcast, and so I couldn't

0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:27.600
<v Speaker 2>living in southern California watch an Iowa player every week,

0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:31.639
<v Speaker 2>or a Virginia Tech player every week, or a Arkansas

0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:34.080
<v Speaker 2>player every week just because everything was so regional. I

0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:37.440
<v Speaker 2>could watch, you know, Danny Farmer and UCLA. But then

0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:39.960
<v Speaker 2>on New Year's Day, I could watch all these teams

0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:42.640
<v Speaker 2>and there was a showcase for these players to get

0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:45.400
<v Speaker 2>into the NFL or perhaps be a preseason All American

0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:48.920
<v Speaker 2>the next year and raise their profile. And we sit

0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:51.000
<v Speaker 2>here and wonder like, well, why why don't people care

0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:55.080
<v Speaker 2>about bulls? You're paying me like you want me to

0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:57.879
<v Speaker 2>play in these games for your TV show? What we

0:21:57.920 --> 0:22:01.440
<v Speaker 2>what are we making here? What percent of the ESPN

0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:05.400
<v Speaker 2>payout pie are going going to me and my family

0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:07.399
<v Speaker 2>to appear in this game? When I've been on national

0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:10.919
<v Speaker 2>TV ten of the last twelve weeks, That to me

0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:13.919
<v Speaker 2>is we can't change that, can we?

0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Though?

0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:16.160
<v Speaker 2>You want you want people to watch the male bawl,

0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:19.520
<v Speaker 2>you want people to watch the insight bawl. Whatever, Let's

0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:22.000
<v Speaker 2>get all our players on the field and have a

0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:24.640
<v Speaker 2>reason to play, and it becomes more interesting.

0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Everybody's got motivation, right, yeah, or needs to have motivation

0:22:30.200 --> 0:22:30.479
<v Speaker 1>and ty.

0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:32.520
<v Speaker 2>Please, if your day job asked you to start working

0:22:32.600 --> 0:22:36.240
<v Speaker 2>thirty eight saturdays a year, promise me you will ask

0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:37.240
<v Speaker 2>for more cash.

0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:40.960
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's go to our next resolution, Dan Euroup,

0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:41.639
<v Speaker 1>what do you got?

0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:44.000
<v Speaker 2>I just want to watch games with humans in my

0:22:44.040 --> 0:22:45.879
<v Speaker 2>house eating food.

0:22:45.920 --> 0:22:47.520
<v Speaker 1>That would be so much fun, right.

0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:53.080
<v Speaker 2>It would? And hey, I have now because I'm in

0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:56.840
<v Speaker 2>a house. I have a small patio. I don't have

0:22:56.920 --> 0:22:59.600
<v Speaker 2>a tie hilden Brand patio. Don't get it twisted right,

0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:03.480
<v Speaker 2>little yard back there. I actually want to watch games outside.

0:23:03.520 --> 0:23:05.520
<v Speaker 2>I want to get some sort of projector, but I

0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:06.960
<v Speaker 2>want to be with people, and I don't want to

0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:12.520
<v Speaker 2>worry about invisible particles, because Lord knows, Tie, when I

0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:16.399
<v Speaker 2>get really eaten, I've got some visible particles spreading around.

0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:21.120
<v Speaker 2>I just college football to me, watching a game alone

0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:24.520
<v Speaker 2>on my couch. And yes, Jody likes college football, but

0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:28.399
<v Speaker 2>in a down year for Michigan, not as much. I

0:23:28.560 --> 0:23:31.679
<v Speaker 2>just it's a communal experience, like I can watch a

0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:33.960
<v Speaker 2>movie alone in a dark room on a giant TV

0:23:34.040 --> 0:23:37.720
<v Speaker 2>and be thrilled watching college football. I mean, I'm used

0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:39.560
<v Speaker 2>to watching games like these past few years with our

0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:42.439
<v Speaker 2>friend Richard Richard Johnson, and I'm sure you're used to

0:23:42.440 --> 0:23:45.240
<v Speaker 2>watching games every week with your buddies or mama. H

0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:48.840
<v Speaker 2>If it's Notre Dame, it just it feels like food

0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:52.040
<v Speaker 2>without seasoning. It's like, yeah, I mean, something's going into

0:23:52.040 --> 0:23:55.159
<v Speaker 2>my stomach, but it's not all that fun. And so

0:23:55.720 --> 0:24:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I can't wait Tie to just like hand somebody up

0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:03.639
<v Speaker 2>a plate of spicy cage and tots and a dipping sauce,

0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:06.920
<v Speaker 2>like just go crazy. Well, one of the things I'm dying.

0:24:06.640 --> 0:24:08.720
<v Speaker 1>For that You did a little bit of a live

0:24:08.720 --> 0:24:12.399
<v Speaker 1>stream last night at the beginning half of the Florida

0:24:12.440 --> 0:24:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Oklahoma game, and one of the things that you and

0:24:14.920 --> 0:24:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Richard Johnson talked about was how odd it's going to

0:24:18.119 --> 0:24:22.040
<v Speaker 1>feel like to be able to gather again comfortably right

0:24:22.160 --> 0:24:25.119
<v Speaker 1>Like you go and you watch old YouTube videos of

0:24:25.160 --> 0:24:28.679
<v Speaker 1>people gathering for a concert what have you, and it's like,

0:24:28.760 --> 0:24:31.280
<v Speaker 1>wait a second, were are the masks, where are the protocols?

0:24:31.280 --> 0:24:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Why are they to each other. It's a very weird

0:24:34.280 --> 0:24:38.400
<v Speaker 1>experience now coming out hopefully on the on the tail

0:24:38.480 --> 0:24:42.240
<v Speaker 1>end of this thing. And I'm kind of in the

0:24:42.240 --> 0:24:45.479
<v Speaker 1>same boat, like just to be able to have the

0:24:45.520 --> 0:24:48.399
<v Speaker 1>option to go to a sports bar to watch a

0:24:48.440 --> 0:24:51.560
<v Speaker 1>game that was not something I necessarily did a whole

0:24:51.560 --> 0:24:55.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of, at least not recent. To have that option

0:24:55.920 --> 0:24:58.480
<v Speaker 1>to go down the street and you know, just pull

0:24:58.560 --> 0:25:00.600
<v Speaker 1>up a chair at the bar, have a draft and

0:25:01.040 --> 0:25:04.120
<v Speaker 1>watch a game. That was something I think we took

0:25:04.160 --> 0:25:07.840
<v Speaker 1>for granted before. And I guess, depending on where you're at,

0:25:07.880 --> 0:25:10.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's something you still can do. I don't know.

0:25:10.400 --> 0:25:13.360
<v Speaker 1>But it certainly isn't something we can do here, and

0:25:13.440 --> 0:25:15.760
<v Speaker 1>I miss that. I miss that, I miss being able

0:25:15.760 --> 0:25:18.200
<v Speaker 1>to gather with people to watch games. I miss having

0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:21.760
<v Speaker 1>more of an option to go to a game. You know,

0:25:21.920 --> 0:25:24.240
<v Speaker 1>of course I have down here as a resolution. I

0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:25.720
<v Speaker 1>want to go to a game next year.

0:25:26.160 --> 0:25:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Because days, who do you want to say?

0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:29.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but it's it's just been a while

0:25:29.840 --> 0:25:32.000
<v Speaker 1>for me, Dan, it's been a while. I didn't go

0:25:32.040 --> 0:25:35.239
<v Speaker 1>to games before, mainly because it's hard for us to do.

0:25:35.320 --> 0:25:38.679
<v Speaker 1>I like talk about things that are logistically difficult but

0:25:38.720 --> 0:25:44.080
<v Speaker 1>not impossible. We do a show every Sunday morning in

0:25:44.119 --> 0:25:47.800
<v Speaker 1>which we recap all of Saturday's action. You go to

0:25:47.840 --> 0:25:49.680
<v Speaker 1>a game on a Saturday. It's tough to do. It's

0:25:49.680 --> 0:25:52.000
<v Speaker 1>tough to do that Sunday show, but I want to

0:25:52.000 --> 0:25:53.320
<v Speaker 1>find a way to make it work. So I don't

0:25:53.320 --> 0:25:55.720
<v Speaker 1>know if it's during the regular season. I don't know

0:25:55.760 --> 0:25:58.080
<v Speaker 1>if it's our deal where we go to the National Championship.

0:25:58.640 --> 0:26:00.240
<v Speaker 1>We haven't done that in a couple of years now out,

0:26:00.280 --> 0:26:02.240
<v Speaker 1>but I want to go to a game next year

0:26:02.440 --> 0:26:05.800
<v Speaker 1>because it's been a while and I just miss it.

0:26:05.840 --> 0:26:08.919
<v Speaker 1>Man to your point of like watching with other people.

0:26:09.760 --> 0:26:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I want to go to a game next year. I

0:26:11.520 --> 0:26:13.000
<v Speaker 1>want to find a way to make it work. We

0:26:13.040 --> 0:26:15.080
<v Speaker 1>can build a whole weekend around it. We could do

0:26:15.119 --> 0:26:19.040
<v Speaker 1>a recap show from the venue. Whatever, let's put Let's

0:26:19.080 --> 0:26:20.800
<v Speaker 1>put our heads together and come up with something. But

0:26:21.440 --> 0:26:23.600
<v Speaker 1>this is a sport that is meant to be shared

0:26:23.640 --> 0:26:27.080
<v Speaker 1>with others in our tribe, be it the verbaler hood

0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:30.800
<v Speaker 1>or our teams or whatever. And we will be doing

0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:33.960
<v Speaker 1>live shows this summer some way, somehow. They might be

0:26:34.000 --> 0:26:36.800
<v Speaker 1>picnics outside or something if we're you know, we want

0:26:36.840 --> 0:26:39.640
<v Speaker 1>to stay as safe as possible, hopefully, but there will

0:26:39.680 --> 0:26:42.160
<v Speaker 1>be live soliverbal We'll figure out something. But we got

0:26:42.200 --> 0:26:45.640
<v Speaker 1>to find a way to cook at this. Yeah, cook

0:26:45.680 --> 0:26:47.720
<v Speaker 1>out would be great. Find a way to enjoy this

0:26:47.840 --> 0:26:51.880
<v Speaker 1>with others, be it at at home or at the stadium,

0:26:51.960 --> 0:26:54.120
<v Speaker 1>outside the stadium. We got to figure something out.

0:26:54.720 --> 0:26:55.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah for sure.

0:26:56.640 --> 0:26:57.639
<v Speaker 1>You got any others?

0:26:58.000 --> 0:26:59.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I've got I told you I've got a decade

0:26:59.720 --> 0:27:02.640
<v Speaker 2>one time, give me the dec any more sides? Okay,

0:27:02.840 --> 0:27:04.600
<v Speaker 2>I want to be stricter. This is the oldest thing

0:27:04.600 --> 0:27:06.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to say today. Actually I shouldn't claim that

0:27:06.720 --> 0:27:08.560
<v Speaker 2>before the show's over. But I want to be stricter

0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 2>with my night game curfews. Okay, I just I especially

0:27:14.080 --> 0:27:16.800
<v Speaker 2>because we record pretty early on Sunday morning, and even

0:27:16.840 --> 0:27:19.399
<v Speaker 2>though there's games Thursday night Friday night, we do And

0:27:19.440 --> 0:27:22.720
<v Speaker 2>this goes with another one of my resolutions. I just

0:27:22.760 --> 0:27:24.399
<v Speaker 2>don't have it in me to stay up until one

0:27:24.400 --> 0:27:27.280
<v Speaker 2>in the morning watching Pac twelve games anymore. But sometimes

0:27:27.320 --> 0:27:29.480
<v Speaker 2>it'll be an organ game. Sometimes it'll be like a

0:27:30.119 --> 0:27:33.040
<v Speaker 2>random type Mac game or game in the American on

0:27:33.040 --> 0:27:35.800
<v Speaker 2>a Wednesday or Thursday night or whatever the case is.

0:27:37.160 --> 0:27:39.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what my exact curfew is. It's probably

0:27:40.000 --> 0:27:43.120
<v Speaker 2>hope you're sitting out. It's probably ten thirty. It's probably

0:27:43.160 --> 0:27:46.760
<v Speaker 2>in that range because just with with having a kid

0:27:46.840 --> 0:27:51.359
<v Speaker 2>and just my schedule is different. It's and this is

0:27:51.400 --> 0:27:54.960
<v Speaker 2>the other resolution, by the way, I want to be better.

0:27:55.040 --> 0:27:58.480
<v Speaker 2>I want to mine better and more consistent sources for

0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:01.119
<v Speaker 2>those thirty to forty five minute games and broadcasts. I

0:28:01.280 --> 0:28:03.960
<v Speaker 2>just don't have any filler between the snaps. There's a

0:28:03.960 --> 0:28:05.640
<v Speaker 2>sweet spot. There are some that I used to have,

0:28:05.760 --> 0:28:08.200
<v Speaker 2>so if anybody has suggestions where it's just like it's

0:28:08.240 --> 0:28:12.280
<v Speaker 2>every snap of every game, but it's basically limited replays

0:28:12.359 --> 0:28:15.560
<v Speaker 2>unless it's like overturning you know, a bang bang call

0:28:15.680 --> 0:28:19.200
<v Speaker 2>or something like that, and touch scoring plays, but they're

0:28:19.280 --> 0:28:21.240
<v Speaker 2>use I used to have a couple of different sources

0:28:21.240 --> 0:28:23.760
<v Speaker 2>where just like, wow, this is every offensive snap, every

0:28:23.760 --> 0:28:27.680
<v Speaker 2>defensive snap, and you know, God bless Joe Tests or

0:28:27.720 --> 0:28:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Adam Emein or whoever. I'm not at that point watching

0:28:31.160 --> 0:28:33.120
<v Speaker 2>the game for their insights.

0:28:32.640 --> 0:28:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Writing this down. Yeah, one wants to watch more pirated footage.

0:28:36.960 --> 0:28:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Did I get that right? Is that correct?

0:28:38.840 --> 0:28:41.160
<v Speaker 2>That's absolutely right? Okay, I mean I'm not gonna I'm

0:28:41.160 --> 0:28:45.200
<v Speaker 2>not gonna sit here and make things up for the

0:28:45.240 --> 0:28:48.960
<v Speaker 2>forballers out there listening. That's how I like, I really

0:28:49.000 --> 0:28:50.960
<v Speaker 2>love to consume games because we have so many that

0:28:51.000 --> 0:28:53.400
<v Speaker 2>we need to get through that I just I want

0:28:53.440 --> 0:28:56.360
<v Speaker 2>boom snap snap snap snap, snap stap. That's what I want.

0:28:56.640 --> 0:29:01.800
<v Speaker 2>And you also, weirdly get a better sense of momentum

0:29:01.840 --> 0:29:04.600
<v Speaker 2>and trans like they keep running off tackle, they keep running.

0:29:04.760 --> 0:29:08.720
<v Speaker 2>When you have graphics popping up and you're cutting to commercials,

0:29:09.080 --> 0:29:12.480
<v Speaker 2>it's easy to sort of get distracted, maybe flip to

0:29:12.480 --> 0:29:15.440
<v Speaker 2>another game when you get that just I want that

0:29:15.480 --> 0:29:19.040
<v Speaker 2>efficiency tie. That's what I want. So that goes with

0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:22.040
<v Speaker 2>my stricter curfew. The more of those sources I can get,

0:29:22.080 --> 0:29:23.560
<v Speaker 2>the more I can just wake up at five am

0:29:24.000 --> 0:29:28.760
<v Speaker 2>and just scrub through everything that I can. All Right,

0:29:29.120 --> 0:29:31.760
<v Speaker 2>that's very specific, though, But like people have lives too,

0:29:32.040 --> 0:29:35.920
<v Speaker 2>I would imagine it's not just dumb podcasters. Like, if

0:29:35.960 --> 0:29:37.960
<v Speaker 2>you love college football and you happen to be a

0:29:37.960 --> 0:29:41.400
<v Speaker 2>fan of a specific team and you missed what you've

0:29:41.440 --> 0:29:45.240
<v Speaker 2>now learned was an awesome matchup, you probably rather get

0:29:45.320 --> 0:29:49.480
<v Speaker 2>through it in a shorter time span than three hours.

0:29:50.080 --> 0:29:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Right, well, I think so.

0:29:53.640 --> 0:29:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, Again, I'm old, though, I am very old, and

0:29:57.480 --> 0:29:59.680
<v Speaker 2>I admit this readily. Okay, do you want more of

0:29:59.720 --> 0:30:01.080
<v Speaker 2>my well resolutions?

0:30:01.160 --> 0:30:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Here's one? Okay, here's one. I want to celebrate the

0:30:05.840 --> 0:30:10.640
<v Speaker 1>little internet nuances of college football more. Okay, in twenty

0:30:10.680 --> 0:30:13.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty one, A large chunk of what we do here

0:30:13.600 --> 0:30:19.600
<v Speaker 1>is already that celebrating these these these little tidbits of

0:30:19.680 --> 0:30:22.520
<v Speaker 1>spiciness in college football, the things that make it unique,

0:30:22.560 --> 0:30:25.240
<v Speaker 1>like the surrender cobras and the college kickers and the

0:30:25.280 --> 0:30:30.680
<v Speaker 1>fat guy touchdowns. And I used to roll my eyes

0:30:30.920 --> 0:30:34.120
<v Speaker 1>at a lot of that stuff. And maybe it's because

0:30:34.160 --> 0:30:36.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm like the krusty old media guy. Now I don't know.

0:30:37.240 --> 0:30:38.400
<v Speaker 2>But in a weird.

0:30:38.120 --> 0:30:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Season, I've seen what krusty old media guys look like.

0:30:41.680 --> 0:30:44.440
<v Speaker 2>You are not one of them. Krusty in mind, the

0:30:44.520 --> 0:30:50.320
<v Speaker 2>mustard stains don't exist, the open flies, the disheveled hair.

0:30:50.480 --> 0:30:51.840
<v Speaker 1>I know exactly who you're talking about.

0:30:51.880 --> 0:30:55.080
<v Speaker 2>The conversation. No, I'm describing like eleven different people. I've

0:30:55.080 --> 0:30:58.560
<v Speaker 2>seen im press boxes, the awkward conversations with women, especially

0:30:58.640 --> 0:31:01.200
<v Speaker 2>much younger ones. You're not that person.

0:31:01.360 --> 0:31:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, but it's easy to get hackneyed, right when you

0:31:04.840 --> 0:31:09.040
<v Speaker 1>do this all the time. And in a weird season

0:31:09.960 --> 0:31:11.840
<v Speaker 1>where it was hard to get up and feel good

0:31:11.880 --> 0:31:14.120
<v Speaker 1>about a lot of what was going on out there,

0:31:15.280 --> 0:31:18.720
<v Speaker 1>there were these moments still in the season that we

0:31:18.800 --> 0:31:23.280
<v Speaker 1>had that made it easier to feel good about what

0:31:23.320 --> 0:31:27.440
<v Speaker 1>we were watching, right, These unique moments of college football

0:31:27.520 --> 0:31:31.720
<v Speaker 1>goodness that you could cling to and feel good about.

0:31:31.960 --> 0:31:34.240
<v Speaker 1>We had moments like that scattered throughout the season. We

0:31:34.320 --> 0:31:36.640
<v Speaker 1>say moments all the time, but these are the things

0:31:36.680 --> 0:31:39.400
<v Speaker 1>that make the sport unique. I want to remember that

0:31:39.440 --> 0:31:42.560
<v Speaker 1>next time. We're doing a recap show in week ten

0:31:43.160 --> 0:31:47.200
<v Speaker 1>of the twenty twenty one season and the season's getting

0:31:47.240 --> 0:31:49.440
<v Speaker 1>a little long in the tooth, and you know how

0:31:49.440 --> 0:31:52.800
<v Speaker 1>it is. You and I are grinding right, grinding, We're

0:31:52.800 --> 0:31:56.720
<v Speaker 1>feeling we're feeling tired. We just watched a Pac twelve

0:31:56.800 --> 0:31:59.680
<v Speaker 1>game to one am. I want to remember these moments

0:32:00.280 --> 0:32:03.640
<v Speaker 1>because that is what keeps people coming back, It's what

0:32:03.760 --> 0:32:06.720
<v Speaker 1>keeps people entertained, It's what makes us all feel good

0:32:06.720 --> 0:32:08.880
<v Speaker 1>about college football. And I don't want to take it

0:32:08.880 --> 0:32:12.440
<v Speaker 1>for granted. So surrender Cobra as a college kickers. In fact, guy,

0:32:12.520 --> 0:32:15.480
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns twenty twenty one is your year, at least in

0:32:15.520 --> 0:32:15.920
<v Speaker 1>my book.

0:32:17.120 --> 0:32:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. The only thing with that is those are more

0:32:19.840 --> 0:32:22.120
<v Speaker 2>things in the moment. So I think you just need

0:32:22.160 --> 0:32:24.560
<v Speaker 2>to be more active on social media. I think that's

0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:25.120
<v Speaker 2>the solution.

0:32:25.480 --> 0:32:27.640
<v Speaker 1>That is not a solution. That is not the solution.

0:32:28.080 --> 0:32:30.160
<v Speaker 2>No, but those are social media things. It's hard to

0:32:30.240 --> 0:32:33.760
<v Speaker 2>describe visuals, and we're doing more video. I think you're right.

0:32:33.880 --> 0:32:35.239
<v Speaker 2>I think those are the things. And I think that

0:32:35.320 --> 0:32:38.920
<v Speaker 2>comes with you know, attending games and tailgates and everything

0:32:38.960 --> 0:32:41.720
<v Speaker 2>like that. You appreciate those little things even more. But

0:32:42.040 --> 0:32:43.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, those are things that are popping like

0:32:43.800 --> 0:32:44.840
<v Speaker 2>your dilly bar dance.

0:32:45.680 --> 0:32:49.640
<v Speaker 1>This is the natural essence of college football, and sure, well,

0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:53.040
<v Speaker 1>college football, Internet, college trible Internet, but that's sort of

0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:56.120
<v Speaker 1>our base here and I want to make sure that

0:32:57.040 --> 0:32:58.760
<v Speaker 1>I pay those sweet homage.

0:33:00.840 --> 0:33:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, it's fine, you can do it here on the show.

0:33:03.800 --> 0:33:06.520
<v Speaker 2>Things that resonate with you on Saturday will resonate Sunday morning.

0:33:07.880 --> 0:33:10.440
<v Speaker 2>I am on that. The social media tip. I am

0:33:10.480 --> 0:33:13.840
<v Speaker 2>going to continue because this was one of my resolutions

0:33:13.880 --> 0:33:17.080
<v Speaker 2>heading into the season. I just I try to stay

0:33:17.120 --> 0:33:19.959
<v Speaker 2>off of Twitter as much as I can. I do

0:33:20.000 --> 0:33:22.320
<v Speaker 2>it for collegeoble Saturday because you get, oh, watch the

0:33:22.400 --> 0:33:25.800
<v Speaker 2>North Carolina State ending blah blah blah. But I want

0:33:25.800 --> 0:33:29.920
<v Speaker 2>to hold back on angry Oregon tweets because I'm I'm

0:33:29.920 --> 0:33:31.800
<v Speaker 2>pretty sure there and I don't have a ton of

0:33:31.840 --> 0:33:37.320
<v Speaker 2>Twitter followers comparatively, but I have some, and my Oregon

0:33:37.360 --> 0:33:41.760
<v Speaker 2>tweets are basically just for me, the angry ones, especially

0:33:41.840 --> 0:33:44.040
<v Speaker 2>like how could they you know? Third Impelham the stuff

0:33:44.080 --> 0:33:46.640
<v Speaker 2>like that from way back when regarding the old defensive

0:33:46.640 --> 0:33:49.720
<v Speaker 2>coordinator and linebackers coach. So I think I've done a

0:33:49.720 --> 0:33:52.960
<v Speaker 2>better job of in the way that I'm trying to

0:33:53.040 --> 0:33:56.920
<v Speaker 2>mine the feeds the forty five minute game feeds my

0:33:57.120 --> 0:34:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Oregon fan friends and just badgering them with text messages

0:34:01.280 --> 0:34:03.480
<v Speaker 2>until and luckily I have a couple that badger me

0:34:03.520 --> 0:34:07.800
<v Speaker 2>as well, just because I don't know, there's really no

0:34:07.960 --> 0:34:10.960
<v Speaker 2>reason for me to be upset about Oregon football. They're

0:34:11.000 --> 0:34:13.600
<v Speaker 2>pretty good every year at least and except for that

0:34:13.640 --> 0:34:17.680
<v Speaker 2>one year, and it just I'm trying to be better

0:34:17.760 --> 0:34:23.760
<v Speaker 2>about animous about college kids online, if that makes sense.

0:34:24.440 --> 0:34:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think that's probably a good resolution.

0:34:29.080 --> 0:34:32.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean you've spiked controllers, You've got into our

0:34:32.920 --> 0:34:36.160
<v Speaker 2>spiked cell phones, got into deep depressions. This was your

0:34:36.200 --> 0:34:39.880
<v Speaker 2>twenties though, though. Yeah, so I think you've done a

0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:41.440
<v Speaker 2>much better. You've done a better job than I have.

0:34:42.239 --> 0:34:43.319
<v Speaker 2>I can definitely get better.

0:34:43.960 --> 0:34:46.920
<v Speaker 1>This was the first year where I've had someone tweet

0:34:47.280 --> 0:34:51.280
<v Speaker 1>at me asking for a proof of life.

0:34:51.800 --> 0:34:54.600
<v Speaker 2>I've had that before, but I'm far more publicly emotional.

0:34:54.800 --> 0:34:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Are you? Are you dead? Are you okay?

0:34:57.400 --> 0:34:57.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:34:57.880 --> 0:35:00.879
<v Speaker 1>And this is not just in relation to Notre Dame game.

0:35:00.960 --> 0:35:03.200
<v Speaker 1>This is because of not tweeting for like a month.

0:35:04.280 --> 0:35:07.120
<v Speaker 1>And you know, when you're sometimes you just have bigger

0:35:07.120 --> 0:35:08.719
<v Speaker 1>fish to fry to that when you're busy and you

0:35:09.480 --> 0:35:11.760
<v Speaker 1>have a limited amount of hours and time in minutes,

0:35:13.320 --> 0:35:16.239
<v Speaker 1>if the item that gets cut off as social media

0:35:16.280 --> 0:35:20.319
<v Speaker 1>then so be it. But you know, it's it's not

0:35:20.360 --> 0:35:22.879
<v Speaker 1>a bad suggestion, just be nicer out there, it's be nicer.

0:35:22.920 --> 0:35:25.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and honestly, yeah, I mean this is I mean

0:35:25.840 --> 0:35:28.920
<v Speaker 2>we are I'm not even gonna say guilty. I'm saying

0:35:28.920 --> 0:35:31.759
<v Speaker 2>we are massively guilty of snark online. Oh my god,

0:35:31.840 --> 0:35:33.440
<v Speaker 2>yet because it's fun in the moment, but then when

0:35:33.480 --> 0:35:35.560
<v Speaker 2>you just feel like an idiot and you're pushing forty

0:35:35.600 --> 0:35:38.440
<v Speaker 2>and you're like, eh, what am I doing here? And

0:35:38.600 --> 0:35:42.000
<v Speaker 2>plus I mean you're learning nuclear fission in Cantonese, like

0:35:42.600 --> 0:35:46.600
<v Speaker 2>you're just a busy dude. So I think that's a

0:35:46.640 --> 0:35:47.040
<v Speaker 2>good one.

0:35:48.560 --> 0:35:54.360
<v Speaker 1>I want to try harder to not judge a college

0:35:54.440 --> 0:35:58.840
<v Speaker 1>quarterback by his NFL draft prospects. I am so guilty

0:35:58.840 --> 0:36:01.600
<v Speaker 1>of this. Are you still an NF I know you

0:36:01.640 --> 0:36:03.440
<v Speaker 1>know more about the NFL, but and this is the

0:36:03.480 --> 0:36:04.040
<v Speaker 1>irony of it.

0:36:04.520 --> 0:36:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:36:05.520 --> 0:36:07.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't watch the NFL on Sundays.

0:36:07.320 --> 0:36:09.000
<v Speaker 2>I watch a lot of Daniel Jones.

0:36:10.120 --> 0:36:13.120
<v Speaker 1>I watch a lot of football on Saturdays. And I

0:36:13.160 --> 0:36:17.480
<v Speaker 1>am still interested, very interested in the NFL. I'm actually

0:36:17.520 --> 0:36:20.720
<v Speaker 1>still alive going into Week seventeen in a survivor pool

0:36:20.800 --> 0:36:23.480
<v Speaker 1>first time effort, and of course there are like eight

0:36:23.480 --> 0:36:26.240
<v Speaker 1>other guys who did it too, which is ridiculous, but whatever,

0:36:26.600 --> 0:36:30.239
<v Speaker 1>it's an accomplishment. I follow it, but I don't watch

0:36:30.320 --> 0:36:33.400
<v Speaker 1>it because I'm in football. Overload comes Sunday, we do

0:36:33.520 --> 0:36:36.040
<v Speaker 1>our thing and we try to go and live a

0:36:36.080 --> 0:36:39.080
<v Speaker 1>normal life the rest of the day. But I am

0:36:39.320 --> 0:36:42.680
<v Speaker 1>still very much influenced by what the NFL thinks of

0:36:42.719 --> 0:36:46.600
<v Speaker 1>a guy moving forward. Okay, and I want to try

0:36:46.640 --> 0:36:49.719
<v Speaker 1>and get away from that because our game's college and

0:36:49.920 --> 0:36:53.440
<v Speaker 1>too many guys have come and gone awesome at the

0:36:53.480 --> 0:36:58.040
<v Speaker 1>college level, mediocre, non existent at the next level, to

0:36:58.080 --> 0:37:05.560
<v Speaker 1>be fair, but looked as a result by me when

0:37:05.600 --> 0:37:08.200
<v Speaker 1>it comes to them being a quote unquote legit threat

0:37:08.200 --> 0:37:12.799
<v Speaker 1>on Saturdays because of a pop gun arm or being

0:37:12.840 --> 0:37:18.480
<v Speaker 1>a little too short, or yeah, being Jared Garantino. I

0:37:18.520 --> 0:37:20.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know whoa whoa.

0:37:20.760 --> 0:37:22.520
<v Speaker 2>What happened to being nice to college kids?

0:37:23.000 --> 0:37:27.399
<v Speaker 1>That's your resolution, not mine. Okay, too many of these

0:37:27.400 --> 0:37:31.080
<v Speaker 1>guys have come and gone. I've overlooked them because they

0:37:31.080 --> 0:37:34.919
<v Speaker 1>were missing something that the NFL would require, and that's

0:37:34.960 --> 0:37:37.279
<v Speaker 1>just not fair. Ian Book is not going to be

0:37:37.400 --> 0:37:40.480
<v Speaker 1>a good pro quarterback newsflash.

0:37:40.520 --> 0:37:43.759
<v Speaker 2>Okay, maybe maybe not. Yeah, I'd be wondering, and Josh

0:37:43.840 --> 0:37:45.759
<v Speaker 2>Allen would be Apparently he's good.

0:37:46.320 --> 0:37:48.640
<v Speaker 1>He's very good. I saw someone compared him to John

0:37:48.640 --> 0:37:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Elway earlier this morning, which is crazy. But maybe I'm wrong.

0:37:53.000 --> 0:37:56.759
<v Speaker 1>I'd be I'd be delighted to be wrong. But I

0:37:56.800 --> 0:38:00.160
<v Speaker 1>have been under this assumption for years now that book's

0:38:00.200 --> 0:38:04.560
<v Speaker 1>got no future beyond what we see right now him

0:38:04.560 --> 0:38:07.239
<v Speaker 1>doing for Notre Dame, which is, you know, one of

0:38:07.280 --> 0:38:10.400
<v Speaker 1>the most successful quarterbacks, if not the most successful quarterbacks

0:38:10.960 --> 0:38:14.279
<v Speaker 1>in the history of the program. And I've just sort

0:38:14.320 --> 0:38:17.120
<v Speaker 1>of dismissed it as, oh, well, he's got a limited

0:38:17.160 --> 0:38:20.120
<v Speaker 1>skill set, but you know what, so what So.

0:38:20.120 --> 0:38:23.360
<v Speaker 2>This is better appreciating players for what they are, not

0:38:23.440 --> 0:38:28.400
<v Speaker 2>what they aren't, correct. I have that for teams, for

0:38:28.520 --> 0:38:30.800
<v Speaker 2>teams for what they are rather than what they aren't.

0:38:30.800 --> 0:38:33.080
<v Speaker 2>We spend a lot of time talking about teams potential,

0:38:33.120 --> 0:38:36.280
<v Speaker 2>like USC and Texas or Miami, you know, these traditional

0:38:36.320 --> 0:38:40.799
<v Speaker 2>powers Nebraska, and I think we view a lot of

0:38:40.800 --> 0:38:45.319
<v Speaker 2>these teams through the lenses of fans expectations, which is

0:38:45.360 --> 0:38:48.000
<v Speaker 2>fine because that's a very real part of why coaches

0:38:48.000 --> 0:38:51.400
<v Speaker 2>are hired and fired and teams, you know, feel pressure.

0:38:51.440 --> 0:38:55.920
<v Speaker 2>And I want to start doing a better job of

0:38:56.000 --> 0:38:57.719
<v Speaker 2>viewing teams for what they are and not what they

0:38:57.760 --> 0:39:01.359
<v Speaker 2>aren't right like, and that that's my problem with how

0:39:01.400 --> 0:39:03.920
<v Speaker 2>the playoff is looked at. That's my problem with how

0:39:03.920 --> 0:39:07.200
<v Speaker 2>the Playoff is covered by places like ESPN or Fox

0:39:07.280 --> 0:39:10.440
<v Speaker 2>or whoever. It's okay to look at a team for

0:39:10.480 --> 0:39:11.920
<v Speaker 2>what they are, Like, they're not a playoff team, so

0:39:11.920 --> 0:39:14.640
<v Speaker 2>they're not worth talking about. They're not an NFL prospect,

0:39:14.719 --> 0:39:17.440
<v Speaker 2>so he's not, you know, worth taking seriously. On the

0:39:17.440 --> 0:39:22.800
<v Speaker 2>flip side, I'm interested in how we can better view

0:39:22.920 --> 0:39:30.239
<v Speaker 2>college players without the context of their recruiting profiles. Right,

0:39:30.280 --> 0:39:33.080
<v Speaker 2>we expect certain things because they're a four star, five star,

0:39:33.080 --> 0:39:36.000
<v Speaker 2>and I understand, mathematically, you're far more likely to get

0:39:36.040 --> 0:39:38.239
<v Speaker 2>drafted in high rounds. You're far more likely to win

0:39:38.520 --> 0:39:41.000
<v Speaker 2>New Year six games, or become an All American or

0:39:41.840 --> 0:39:43.839
<v Speaker 2>win the national Championship if you have that blue chip

0:39:43.920 --> 0:39:46.719
<v Speaker 2>ratio of you know, at least fifty percent of your

0:39:46.760 --> 0:39:50.719
<v Speaker 2>team being your recruiting classes being comprised of four or

0:39:50.719 --> 0:39:53.560
<v Speaker 2>five stars. But we get to a point where we

0:39:53.960 --> 0:39:59.120
<v Speaker 2>place expectations on players that are clearly undeserved based on

0:39:59.120 --> 0:40:02.440
<v Speaker 2>on field play, and then we set ourselves up for

0:40:02.480 --> 0:40:05.600
<v Speaker 2>disappointment as fans and people covering the sport because they

0:40:05.600 --> 0:40:08.000
<v Speaker 2>were five stars, because they were four stars, they're considered

0:40:08.040 --> 0:40:10.160
<v Speaker 2>to be a disappointment if they're not stars in college.

0:40:10.520 --> 0:40:13.000
<v Speaker 2>When a lot of that is guesswork. You know, we're

0:40:13.040 --> 0:40:16.120
<v Speaker 2>guessing at the potential because of their physical attributes, because

0:40:16.120 --> 0:40:19.600
<v Speaker 2>of their tape. But there are so many variables that

0:40:19.680 --> 0:40:22.319
<v Speaker 2>go into whether or not a player succeeds, be it

0:40:22.480 --> 0:40:25.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, how they grow, their injuries, their emotions, their

0:40:25.760 --> 0:40:28.000
<v Speaker 2>mental makeup, you know, whether or not they selected the

0:40:28.040 --> 0:40:31.400
<v Speaker 2>right school, the right type of system for their talents

0:40:31.960 --> 0:40:35.440
<v Speaker 2>that we place and we are guilty of this. We

0:40:35.520 --> 0:40:39.360
<v Speaker 2>place these expectations two, three, four years down the line

0:40:39.760 --> 0:40:42.440
<v Speaker 2>based on what they were projected to be as juniors

0:40:42.440 --> 0:40:47.640
<v Speaker 2>in high school. That's not fair at all now, right, it's.

0:40:47.480 --> 0:40:49.360
<v Speaker 1>A heavy cross to bear for some of these kids

0:40:49.880 --> 0:40:56.759
<v Speaker 1>totally branded as a five star, four star, Yeah, saviors

0:40:56.760 --> 0:40:59.200
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of these cases, being told through their

0:40:59.440 --> 0:41:03.799
<v Speaker 1>entire youth football career that they're the next big thing,

0:41:03.960 --> 0:41:07.279
<v Speaker 1>the next hype mm hmm. Then you go to a

0:41:07.280 --> 0:41:13.279
<v Speaker 1>big school and you know, it's a transition for a

0:41:13.360 --> 0:41:17.239
<v Speaker 1>non athlete to go away to college. Immerse themselves in

0:41:17.280 --> 0:41:17.920
<v Speaker 1>that new culture.

0:41:18.920 --> 0:41:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't this, doesn't this also fall under And this is

0:41:21.880 --> 0:41:25.520
<v Speaker 2>part of my decagon, the Dan Decagon of self improvement.

0:41:27.320 --> 0:41:30.680
<v Speaker 2>It's tough because a lot of them, a lot of

0:41:30.680 --> 0:41:33.719
<v Speaker 2>the players, when they speak to the media, they're very

0:41:33.719 --> 0:41:37.240
<v Speaker 2>specifically coached about, you know, not necessarily what to reveal,

0:41:37.480 --> 0:41:40.319
<v Speaker 2>but how to come across because you know that you're

0:41:40.320 --> 0:41:42.560
<v Speaker 2>always being judged on social media. You're always being judged

0:41:42.560 --> 0:41:44.920
<v Speaker 2>by you know, fans of the team or boosters or

0:41:44.920 --> 0:41:48.520
<v Speaker 2>coaches or whoever, people in the athletic department. So players

0:41:48.560 --> 0:41:50.960
<v Speaker 2>are taught to just be sort of take things pretty

0:41:50.960 --> 0:41:57.480
<v Speaker 2>down the line. It's difficult to get player perspective as fans,

0:41:58.200 --> 0:42:00.000
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of that's not revealed, and you find

0:42:00.120 --> 0:42:02.080
<v Speaker 2>out after the fact you talk to people in the know.

0:42:02.280 --> 0:42:04.640
<v Speaker 2>You know, somebody heard from somebody on a message board

0:42:04.719 --> 0:42:06.520
<v Speaker 2>that you know, they got dumped the night before the

0:42:06.600 --> 0:42:09.080
<v Speaker 2>game by their girlfriend and that's why they look sluggish

0:42:09.120 --> 0:42:11.600
<v Speaker 2>and not into the game. You're like, oh, that makes sense.

0:42:11.680 --> 0:42:15.160
<v Speaker 2>It's hard to get that player perspective, but I think

0:42:15.160 --> 0:42:18.480
<v Speaker 2>it would be easier for us to say or to

0:42:18.520 --> 0:42:21.719
<v Speaker 2>look at these like, well, their kids and you know

0:42:21.760 --> 0:42:23.799
<v Speaker 2>they're there to play football, you know, suck it up,

0:42:23.960 --> 0:42:26.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, get focused on the field. There's a certain

0:42:26.840 --> 0:42:31.200
<v Speaker 2>degree of truth to that, I suppose. But if we

0:42:31.239 --> 0:42:33.640
<v Speaker 2>can get more player perspective, and maybe this goes with

0:42:33.760 --> 0:42:36.000
<v Speaker 2>the name, image and likeness thing that you know, players

0:42:36.000 --> 0:42:38.120
<v Speaker 2>are going to be building brands on social media and

0:42:38.160 --> 0:42:39.719
<v Speaker 2>stuff like that, and we get a better sense for

0:42:39.800 --> 0:42:43.800
<v Speaker 2>them and you know, what goes into their daily lives.

0:42:44.400 --> 0:42:47.360
<v Speaker 2>But I'd like to do a better job of trying

0:42:47.760 --> 0:42:49.480
<v Speaker 2>to get like what what is a day to day

0:42:49.520 --> 0:42:52.560
<v Speaker 2>life for these guys? You know, what goes into their

0:42:52.600 --> 0:42:56.480
<v Speaker 2>preparation in the off season and their injury rehabilitation, Like

0:42:56.800 --> 0:43:00.960
<v Speaker 2>where are they emotionally, mentally, physically, whatever? And yeah, I

0:43:00.960 --> 0:43:01.800
<v Speaker 2>think that's important.

0:43:02.000 --> 0:43:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I've got a point here about authenticity. Yeah, finding a

0:43:06.960 --> 0:43:11.560
<v Speaker 1>way to surface that authenticity that we know exists but

0:43:12.239 --> 0:43:14.440
<v Speaker 1>is really hard to cover during the season when we've

0:43:14.440 --> 0:43:20.120
<v Speaker 1>got a million games, it unfortunately gets overlooked, overshadowed. I

0:43:20.160 --> 0:43:22.600
<v Speaker 1>want to find a way to surface that better in

0:43:22.640 --> 0:43:26.239
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty one, to provide that context and give the

0:43:26.239 --> 0:43:29.520
<v Speaker 1>fans what they want. You know, we started this patreon

0:43:29.880 --> 0:43:31.840
<v Speaker 1>at verballers dot com. This is not an ad for

0:43:31.880 --> 0:43:34.839
<v Speaker 1>the Patreon. But I think it's been an interesting use

0:43:34.880 --> 0:43:37.319
<v Speaker 1>case for you and I just to meet people where

0:43:37.320 --> 0:43:40.360
<v Speaker 1>they're at, see what they're into. Sure, and it's been revealing,

0:43:40.440 --> 0:43:44.120
<v Speaker 1>frankly for both of us to see what our fan

0:43:44.200 --> 0:43:47.759
<v Speaker 1>base is looking for with regard to the podcast, just

0:43:47.800 --> 0:43:51.120
<v Speaker 1>as being college football fans where are they at? It

0:43:51.160 --> 0:43:54.239
<v Speaker 1>has really helped me try to figure this out as

0:43:54.239 --> 0:43:56.640
<v Speaker 1>we now start thinking about twenty twenty one. So I

0:43:56.680 --> 0:43:59.479
<v Speaker 1>want to try and surface as much of that real,

0:43:59.600 --> 0:44:03.160
<v Speaker 1>pure goodness of college football, or if nothing else, just

0:44:03.200 --> 0:44:07.040
<v Speaker 1>the real, even if it's not good of college football,

0:44:07.120 --> 0:44:09.200
<v Speaker 1>to give people a better perspective of what's going on.

0:44:09.920 --> 0:44:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Sure. Else, I want to roast more roast and grill

0:44:14.120 --> 0:44:14.840
<v Speaker 2>more vegetables.

0:44:15.120 --> 0:44:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, this is this is less college football but more

0:44:18.520 --> 0:44:21.440
<v Speaker 1>for like college football watching.

0:44:21.960 --> 0:44:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I am a not nervous but like I like

0:44:26.120 --> 0:44:28.680
<v Speaker 2>snacking all the time and over the course of like

0:44:29.000 --> 0:44:31.359
<v Speaker 2>noon to midnight or whatever I'm setting my curfew at.

0:44:31.680 --> 0:44:33.839
<v Speaker 2>I guess it's eleven am now that I'm in Central time.

0:44:34.800 --> 0:44:37.399
<v Speaker 2>I do love roasted and grilled vegetables and I want

0:44:37.440 --> 0:44:39.640
<v Speaker 2>to have more giant piles of them around for me

0:44:39.719 --> 0:44:45.120
<v Speaker 2>to snack on. I want interesting seasoning combinations, sauces, you know, vegetables.

0:44:45.160 --> 0:44:47.080
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think about roasting even fruit. I haven't thought

0:44:47.080 --> 0:44:50.359
<v Speaker 2>about roasting or grilling that. That's that's a goal, tie,

0:44:50.400 --> 0:44:51.839
<v Speaker 2>I just one hundred percent of goal. If I could

0:44:51.840 --> 0:44:55.000
<v Speaker 2>just have like a giant what's what's a good?

0:44:55.320 --> 0:44:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Man?

0:44:55.480 --> 0:44:57.600
<v Speaker 2>If I just a giant mount of caramelized onions is

0:44:57.600 --> 0:45:03.200
<v Speaker 2>pretty good to me. But any sort of just giant

0:45:03.840 --> 0:45:08.320
<v Speaker 2>situation with roast vegetables, I love it. Some spicy ones,

0:45:08.760 --> 0:45:12.200
<v Speaker 2>some interesting sauces, that's what I want. That's a resolution, Ty,

0:45:12.320 --> 0:45:14.040
<v Speaker 2>that counts all right?

0:45:15.800 --> 0:45:17.960
<v Speaker 1>All right if you say so. If you say so,

0:45:18.360 --> 0:45:20.320
<v Speaker 1>you don't. You don't you can't appreciate that. Oh I

0:45:20.360 --> 0:45:21.160
<v Speaker 1>can appreciate it.

0:45:22.160 --> 0:45:26.560
<v Speaker 2>I just can't eat garbage all day, Ty, I'm getting older. Yeah,

0:45:26.600 --> 0:45:29.320
<v Speaker 2>how about digging deeper into season improvement stories?

0:45:29.719 --> 0:45:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Season improvement stories?

0:45:31.520 --> 0:45:35.520
<v Speaker 2>So, yeah, teams who start out slow and slowly, but surely,

0:45:35.760 --> 0:45:38.239
<v Speaker 2>you know, get their footing, whether or not it's because, oh,

0:45:38.320 --> 0:45:40.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, and it's a context thing too, like oh,

0:45:40.040 --> 0:45:43.799
<v Speaker 2>these guys got healthier, or you know, this coach returned

0:45:43.840 --> 0:45:47.520
<v Speaker 2>from you know, some sort of personal tragedy and everything

0:45:47.880 --> 0:45:51.359
<v Speaker 2>culturally was way better in that locker room or oh

0:45:51.400 --> 0:45:53.520
<v Speaker 2>their schedule was you know, we you know, pay attention.

0:45:53.600 --> 0:45:55.919
<v Speaker 2>They had started out with three road games, and that's

0:45:55.920 --> 0:45:59.279
<v Speaker 2>why they started all three against good teams. It's hard

0:45:59.320 --> 0:46:01.680
<v Speaker 2>to remember when you have so many teams playing the sport,

0:46:02.040 --> 0:46:04.960
<v Speaker 2>but I do like paying attention to digging into when

0:46:04.960 --> 0:46:07.520
<v Speaker 2>teams really get their acts together, and you know, late

0:46:07.520 --> 0:46:09.799
<v Speaker 2>October throughout the final stretch of the year.

0:46:10.000 --> 0:46:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I've got something similar to that as well, because twenty twenty,

0:46:15.040 --> 0:46:17.160
<v Speaker 1>at least for solid wife Kate and I, was a

0:46:17.239 --> 0:46:21.200
<v Speaker 1>year of home improvements. True, right, a lot of folks

0:46:21.280 --> 0:46:24.400
<v Speaker 1>stuck at home looking at the four walls, thinking what

0:46:24.440 --> 0:46:26.799
<v Speaker 1>can we do? It's not going to expose us to

0:46:26.840 --> 0:46:29.439
<v Speaker 1>the deadly virus. We could do stuff around the house.

0:46:29.480 --> 0:46:31.799
<v Speaker 1>We can paint, we can do home projects, and we

0:46:31.840 --> 0:46:36.719
<v Speaker 1>did all of them. We're still doing them every weekend. Yeah,

0:46:36.760 --> 0:46:40.520
<v Speaker 1>of course, so why not expose those On the college

0:46:40.560 --> 0:46:45.680
<v Speaker 1>football side, right, We did a Marie Condo episode not

0:46:45.800 --> 0:46:49.200
<v Speaker 1>so long ago in the off season where we took

0:46:49.239 --> 0:46:51.480
<v Speaker 1>a look at what we could get rid of, well,

0:46:51.480 --> 0:46:54.440
<v Speaker 1>we could tidy up in the world of college football. Yeah,

0:46:54.480 --> 0:46:57.239
<v Speaker 1>I think if we pay attention to those storylines, and

0:46:57.280 --> 0:46:59.960
<v Speaker 1>try to highlight the good. Highlight some of those good stories.

0:47:00.280 --> 0:47:02.040
<v Speaker 1>People would gravitate to it for sure.

0:47:02.560 --> 0:47:04.759
<v Speaker 2>Can I focus on something you said early on in

0:47:04.840 --> 0:47:09.160
<v Speaker 2>that how would you improve your home for college football watching?

0:47:09.920 --> 0:47:11.120
<v Speaker 1>For college football watching?

0:47:11.680 --> 0:47:14.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, aside from just like buying a bigger TV. Are

0:47:14.320 --> 0:47:16.960
<v Speaker 2>you happy with your sound? Are you happy with your

0:47:17.160 --> 0:47:19.520
<v Speaker 2>seating setup? Because you might be accommodating more people in

0:47:19.560 --> 0:47:24.000
<v Speaker 2>a healthier world. Are you happy with your food preparation?

0:47:24.360 --> 0:47:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Would you be ordering more takeouts? You're doing less work

0:47:26.600 --> 0:47:29.920
<v Speaker 2>and less cleaning on a college football day. How are

0:47:30.520 --> 0:47:32.480
<v Speaker 2>you satisfied with your grill? Do you want to add

0:47:32.520 --> 0:47:34.200
<v Speaker 2>a smoker? Do you want to add a pizza oven?

0:47:34.600 --> 0:47:37.400
<v Speaker 2>Do you want to start making better drinks? What is?

0:47:37.880 --> 0:47:43.000
<v Speaker 2>What could you improve personally? If you're self scouting your

0:47:43.120 --> 0:47:45.320
<v Speaker 2>home as it relates to football watching?

0:47:45.560 --> 0:47:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I got to figure out a solution for outdoor watching.

0:47:50.840 --> 0:47:53.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a great setup out there. You talk

0:47:53.239 --> 0:47:57.759
<v Speaker 1>about a projector I need to come up with a

0:47:57.800 --> 0:48:02.000
<v Speaker 1>solution to take one of my TVs outside or I

0:48:02.040 --> 0:48:03.439
<v Speaker 1>haven't really thought that through.

0:48:03.560 --> 0:48:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Could you do that seasonally? Could you just like I

0:48:06.480 --> 0:48:08.239
<v Speaker 2>don't know if you have a wall to mount a TV?

0:48:08.400 --> 0:48:10.359
<v Speaker 2>On out there. I don't have a wall TV off

0:48:10.360 --> 0:48:11.600
<v Speaker 2>when it gets cold or something.

0:48:12.040 --> 0:48:13.719
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't. I don't have a setup like that.

0:48:13.880 --> 0:48:17.319
<v Speaker 1>So I think, whatever I'm doing, I'm taking a TV outside.

0:48:17.960 --> 0:48:22.080
<v Speaker 1>So it might involve getting one of those cheaper tcls

0:48:22.120 --> 0:48:25.279
<v Speaker 1>that I can drag in and out still get a.

0:48:25.200 --> 0:48:28.359
<v Speaker 2>Decent How long could you watch night games outside in PA?

0:48:29.239 --> 0:48:33.080
<v Speaker 2>Could you watch a long through October? I think could

0:48:33.080 --> 0:48:34.960
<v Speaker 2>you go out because you have a fire pit situation?

0:48:35.239 --> 0:48:38.520
<v Speaker 2>I yeah, through October might be a little aggressive.

0:48:39.520 --> 0:48:41.520
<v Speaker 1>You could. You could get a good chunk of the

0:48:41.560 --> 0:48:45.400
<v Speaker 1>way through the month of October watching games outside. The

0:48:45.480 --> 0:48:49.319
<v Speaker 1>problem would be the mosquitoes need a solution on the

0:48:49.320 --> 0:48:52.759
<v Speaker 1>mosquito front. But if you can solve that, then yeah,

0:48:52.800 --> 0:48:56.200
<v Speaker 1>you could watch games for a good chunk of the fall.

0:48:57.160 --> 0:48:59.320
<v Speaker 2>How long do mosquitos last in Eastern PA?

0:49:00.200 --> 0:49:03.359
<v Speaker 1>Well, they last pretty long as long as it's forming.

0:49:04.760 --> 0:49:08.160
<v Speaker 1>The candles don't work. That stuff doesn't work.

0:49:09.000 --> 0:49:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Send your your mosquito solutions Eastern pad my way. But

0:49:14.320 --> 0:49:15.920
<v Speaker 2>at me verbal at gmail dot com.

0:49:15.960 --> 0:49:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I need a setup for outside. I think that's the

0:49:17.920 --> 0:49:21.839
<v Speaker 1>most the most pressing thing, and then inside. Look, I'm

0:49:21.840 --> 0:49:25.200
<v Speaker 1>not I'm not huge on like the four screen setup.

0:49:26.160 --> 0:49:28.319
<v Speaker 1>I think you could do two, though you could do two,

0:49:29.160 --> 0:49:30.239
<v Speaker 1>and I do do two.

0:49:31.040 --> 0:49:34.240
<v Speaker 2>I have room. So what is your two TV setup?

0:49:34.400 --> 0:49:36.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a two TV setup. That's where I'm

0:49:36.120 --> 0:49:38.719
<v Speaker 1>going like this. Okay, my two TV setup is the

0:49:38.719 --> 0:49:42.680
<v Speaker 1>big screen, the sixty five, and then closer to me

0:49:43.160 --> 0:49:46.600
<v Speaker 1>another game streaming on the laptop. And that's fine for me.

0:49:47.320 --> 0:49:49.600
<v Speaker 1>But if I'm having company over to watch the game

0:49:50.400 --> 0:49:53.960
<v Speaker 1>in my living room again, in some post apocalyptic setup

0:49:53.960 --> 0:49:56.399
<v Speaker 1>where the virus has already you know, done its thing

0:49:56.440 --> 0:49:59.480
<v Speaker 1>and we're on the straight and narrow again, I need

0:49:59.520 --> 0:50:01.960
<v Speaker 1>to have a better viewing experience for that person. It's

0:50:01.960 --> 0:50:03.440
<v Speaker 1>fine for me, but not for the guest.

0:50:04.280 --> 0:50:07.120
<v Speaker 2>Is your sixty five inch TV on a stand or

0:50:07.200 --> 0:50:12.120
<v Speaker 2>mounted on the wall. It's a top a TV stand? Okay,

0:50:12.280 --> 0:50:17.520
<v Speaker 2>so hypothetically, maybe just for in season, maybe just for Saturdays,

0:50:18.600 --> 0:50:20.960
<v Speaker 2>if you got some sort of I guess having an

0:50:20.960 --> 0:50:23.600
<v Speaker 2>empty mount doesn't look good, and the two TV setup

0:50:23.600 --> 0:50:25.440
<v Speaker 2>could look weird. I don't know how Kate feels about it.

0:50:25.480 --> 0:50:27.759
<v Speaker 2>I guess she's the other fifty percent.

0:50:27.760 --> 0:50:31.160
<v Speaker 1>My guess is very poorly, very poorly about this.

0:50:32.520 --> 0:50:36.120
<v Speaker 2>So what color is the wall on which your TV

0:50:36.239 --> 0:50:38.040
<v Speaker 2>is up again, sitting on the stand.

0:50:38.160 --> 0:50:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Like a very neutral gray beige color.

0:50:42.400 --> 0:50:45.839
<v Speaker 2>Neutral grayish beige. I don't do color, you know that, right?

0:50:46.480 --> 0:50:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Could you project above for like bigger game nights. It's

0:50:50.600 --> 0:50:53.360
<v Speaker 2>tough during the day, but the projector's pocket projectors are

0:50:53.400 --> 0:50:53.879
<v Speaker 2>pretty cheap.

0:50:53.920 --> 0:50:56.200
<v Speaker 1>It's not a bad idea. It is not a bad idea.

0:50:56.320 --> 0:50:59.520
<v Speaker 1>I've also got a side wall that I could potentially use.

0:51:01.000 --> 0:51:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but you want you want to you you don't

0:51:02.600 --> 0:51:03.880
<v Speaker 2>want to be switching back. You don't want to be

0:51:03.920 --> 0:51:06.759
<v Speaker 2>swiveling your head all the time, right, true. I think

0:51:06.800 --> 0:51:09.640
<v Speaker 2>you look into projector options because you could either pull

0:51:09.719 --> 0:51:12.799
<v Speaker 2>down a screen so that's unobtrusive potentially because it's you know,

0:51:12.880 --> 0:51:16.040
<v Speaker 2>mounted up higher on the wall around the ceiling, or

0:51:16.560 --> 0:51:18.359
<v Speaker 2>if you have a bright enough projector. I think they're

0:51:18.360 --> 0:51:20.920
<v Speaker 2>pretty bright. I don't know my lumens tie, but I

0:51:20.920 --> 0:51:24.000
<v Speaker 2>think you can get a pretty bright projector on. It

0:51:24.000 --> 0:51:25.640
<v Speaker 2>doesn't have to be a white wall. It definitely looks

0:51:25.680 --> 0:51:27.799
<v Speaker 2>better on a white wall. I think you might be

0:51:27.840 --> 0:51:29.800
<v Speaker 2>able to do, you know, get a little cart behind

0:51:29.800 --> 0:51:33.280
<v Speaker 2>the couch or something something small, not not not popping.

0:51:34.160 --> 0:51:36.000
<v Speaker 2>You put the big game on the projector and you

0:51:36.040 --> 0:51:38.000
<v Speaker 2>put the medium sized game on the sixty fiver.

0:51:38.719 --> 0:51:40.680
<v Speaker 1>We'll figure it out. We'll figure it out. I don't

0:51:40.680 --> 0:51:41.239
<v Speaker 1>know yet, but.

0:51:41.520 --> 0:51:43.399
<v Speaker 2>I think there's potentially, I think there's I think there's

0:51:43.400 --> 0:51:44.200
<v Speaker 2>some upside there.

0:51:44.760 --> 0:51:47.440
<v Speaker 1>So why don't we say final resolution here? As we

0:51:48.280 --> 0:51:51.920
<v Speaker 1>close in on an hour of talking college football in

0:51:52.000 --> 0:51:52.759
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty one?

0:51:52.800 --> 0:51:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Handles for mosquitoes?

0:51:54.520 --> 0:51:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, give me your final resolution, Dan, Have.

0:51:57.640 --> 0:51:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I not given you all of them? Okay? I gave

0:51:59.960 --> 0:52:07.160
<v Speaker 2>you vegetables, player perspective, game broadcasts, angry organ tweets, curfews,

0:52:08.480 --> 0:52:12.680
<v Speaker 2>improvement stories, specific entertaining players and units.

0:52:12.760 --> 0:52:15.640
<v Speaker 1>I am not giving you angry Notre Dame tweets. By

0:52:15.640 --> 0:52:18.600
<v Speaker 1>the way, Seph Wye, you're way better than I am, ty,

0:52:18.800 --> 0:52:22.520
<v Speaker 1>I am not giving up my angry Notre Dame commentary continue.

0:52:22.520 --> 0:52:22.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry.

0:52:23.120 --> 0:52:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Do you have a do you have a secret like

0:52:25.640 --> 0:52:28.719
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame burner account that I don't know about? I

0:52:28.800 --> 0:52:29.040
<v Speaker 2>do not?

0:52:29.239 --> 0:52:32.239
<v Speaker 1>Actually, no, no, no, it's all that's what we need.

0:52:32.320 --> 0:52:34.560
<v Speaker 1>It's all coming from me. Yeah, no Burner accounts for

0:52:34.600 --> 0:52:35.160
<v Speaker 1>this guy.

0:52:35.800 --> 0:52:38.280
<v Speaker 2>I think. Oh. And I also put like, appreciate teams

0:52:38.280 --> 0:52:39.520
<v Speaker 2>for what they are instead of they are. And I

0:52:39.560 --> 0:52:43.320
<v Speaker 2>mentioned that one as well. I think that's my decagone. Cool.

0:52:43.640 --> 0:52:48.520

<v Speaker 1>Let us know yours.

0:52:50.239 --> 0:52:52.359
<v Speaker 2>This may only be an octagon of improvement after all

0:52:52.400 --> 0:52:55.160
<v Speaker 2>of that, and I think it's just an octagon of improvement.

0:52:55.160 --> 0:52:58.840
<v Speaker 1>An octagon, a decagon. I think I only had five

0:52:59.640 --> 0:53:03.600
<v Speaker 1>A pen to gone. Doesn't matter. What matters is that

0:53:03.640 --> 0:53:05.879

<v Speaker 1>out there.

0:53:48.440 --> 0:53:52.839
<v Speaker 2>But by the way, I've broken my college football resolution

0:53:53.280 --> 0:53:56.239
<v Speaker 2>almost every year since I made it in like two

0:53:56.280 --> 0:54:00.000
<v Speaker 2>thousand and eight or nine of being less emotionally attacked

0:54:00.160 --> 0:54:01.600
<v Speaker 2>to Oregon recruiting around.

0:54:01.719 --> 0:54:03.879
<v Speaker 1>Day, forget it, forget it every year.

0:54:04.480 --> 0:54:07.600
<v Speaker 2>I've only recently found out about this outside linebacker who

0:54:07.640 --> 0:54:11.400
<v Speaker 2>is considering Oregon. Last second, what he committed to Michigan?

0:54:11.800 --> 0:54:16.200
<v Speaker 2>He committed to Oklahoma? What what? Yeah, I've broken that

0:54:16.239 --> 0:54:19.799
<v Speaker 2>resolution a lot do so aside from it I mentioned

0:54:19.840 --> 0:54:21.520
<v Speaker 2>we were going to give personal resolutions at the end,

0:54:21.520 --> 0:54:24.640
<v Speaker 2>aside from being better about goals, is there anything you

0:54:24.680 --> 0:54:29.480
<v Speaker 2>would like to do specifically better because goals is looser like,

0:54:29.560 --> 0:54:33.200
<v Speaker 2>is there something specifically that you either want to improve

0:54:33.640 --> 0:54:36.359
<v Speaker 2>you want to do that that's just fully new for you,

0:54:37.360 --> 0:54:41.160
<v Speaker 2>an experiment? Is there something? Is there something interpersonally with

0:54:41.239 --> 0:54:43.800
<v Speaker 2>somebody in your life? What is it that you want

0:54:43.840 --> 0:54:48.560
<v Speaker 2>to do wholly better or new in twenty twenty one?

0:54:49.920 --> 0:54:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think well, outside of the goal thing and that, yeah,

0:54:55.719 --> 0:54:57.200
<v Speaker 1>I do want to take a page out of your

0:54:57.239 --> 0:55:03.239
<v Speaker 1>playbook and learn to get good at cooking one particular thing. Oh,

0:55:03.320 --> 0:55:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that's great now, you know where I stand

0:55:06.000 --> 0:55:07.120
<v Speaker 1>on omelets.

0:55:07.440 --> 0:55:07.839
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm.

0:55:08.320 --> 0:55:12.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm already like the omelet king of Eastern elite level

0:55:12.680 --> 0:55:16.040
<v Speaker 1>omelet chef here. But that only gets you so far.

0:55:16.160 --> 0:55:20.160
<v Speaker 1>I need I need another arrow in the quiver that

0:55:21.400 --> 0:55:23.600
<v Speaker 1>I can focus on over the course of the next

0:55:23.640 --> 0:55:26.279
<v Speaker 1>twelve months and get better at So. I have not

0:55:26.400 --> 0:55:28.799
<v Speaker 1>identified what that thing is yet, but it would be

0:55:28.840 --> 0:55:33.319
<v Speaker 1>good to have that single minded focus on one particular

0:55:33.400 --> 0:55:36.680
<v Speaker 1>dish that I can cook that will both eat, that

0:55:36.800 --> 0:55:39.840
<v Speaker 1>other people will enjoy, and we'll give me.

0:55:39.880 --> 0:55:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Give me your general diet. You eat a lot of fish,

0:55:42.680 --> 0:55:44.360
<v Speaker 2>you don't eat a lot of bread. I don't know

0:55:44.400 --> 0:55:49.640
<v Speaker 2>what you do for desserts, So maybe it's a I

0:55:49.680 --> 0:55:51.600
<v Speaker 2>have a suggestion for you. What about she a pino?

0:55:52.200 --> 0:55:56.640
<v Speaker 2>I have? What is Kat eat seafood?

0:55:57.360 --> 0:55:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Kate doesn't eat seafood?

0:55:58.440 --> 0:56:01.880
<v Speaker 2>No, oh, she doesn't eat seafood. So's she's largely a

0:56:01.960 --> 0:56:06.000
<v Speaker 2>vegetarian mostly, yeah, mostly a vegetarian. That's tougher. So the

0:56:06.000 --> 0:56:08.279
<v Speaker 2>olind thing works really well. What about like you can

0:56:08.360 --> 0:56:11.799
<v Speaker 2>master chili's because a veggie chili is still delicious. But

0:56:11.880 --> 0:56:13.399
<v Speaker 2>I think you can master that in like a week

0:56:13.440 --> 0:56:13.880
<v Speaker 2>and a half.

0:56:14.040 --> 0:56:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Right now, it needs to be something that's going to

0:56:15.880 --> 0:56:19.040
<v Speaker 1>take time. One thing that I've been thinking about because

0:56:19.080 --> 0:56:22.680
<v Speaker 1>it's in chickens, well, because of the first roast chicken.

0:56:23.239 --> 0:56:25.040
<v Speaker 1>That's not going to help me on the vegetarian front,

0:56:25.360 --> 0:56:28.440
<v Speaker 1>that's true. One thing I was thinking about, because it's versatile,

0:56:29.480 --> 0:56:35.839
<v Speaker 1>is working with Mama h to master the good old

0:56:35.880 --> 0:56:38.360
<v Speaker 1>spaghetti sauce Grandma's.

0:56:38.160 --> 0:56:40.760
<v Speaker 2>That's good, but I think you can get that pretty quickly.

0:56:41.320 --> 0:56:44.680
<v Speaker 1>I think I think I can, but I've never done

0:56:44.719 --> 0:56:47.480
<v Speaker 1>it before, and so I want to give myself a

0:56:47.560 --> 0:56:51.040
<v Speaker 1>chance to not only get the recipe down but also

0:56:51.160 --> 0:56:52.319
<v Speaker 1>figure out ways to improve it.

0:56:53.040 --> 0:56:54.600
<v Speaker 2>Homebrewing is that e of it.

0:56:55.080 --> 0:56:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not doing that.

0:56:56.120 --> 0:56:56.960
<v Speaker 2>That's not homebrewing.

0:56:57.000 --> 0:57:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'll just buy it pasta. I mean, I've already

0:57:01.160 --> 0:57:02.759
<v Speaker 1>made homemade pasta. I know how to do that.

0:57:03.520 --> 0:57:04.880
<v Speaker 2>It's impressive. I've never done that.

0:57:04.880 --> 0:57:08.640
<v Speaker 1>I've done that a thousand times, so that like you're

0:57:08.680 --> 0:57:11.600
<v Speaker 1>sitting there kneading a ball of an egg and flour,

0:57:11.680 --> 0:57:14.759
<v Speaker 1>and I haven't done it recently, but I've my entire

0:57:14.840 --> 0:57:17.480
<v Speaker 1>childhood growing up Italian family.

0:57:17.560 --> 0:57:18.080
<v Speaker 2>That's true.

0:57:18.440 --> 0:57:20.240
<v Speaker 1>I've done that more time than I could ever count.

0:57:20.560 --> 0:57:23.760
<v Speaker 1>So okay, but no, the sauce thing to me is

0:57:23.800 --> 0:57:30.160
<v Speaker 1>interesting sauce, maybe just from my own enjoyment, ording to

0:57:30.200 --> 0:57:33.440
<v Speaker 1>make Grandma's meatballs would be would be something even if

0:57:33.480 --> 0:57:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Kate would need it.

0:57:36.200 --> 0:57:39.360
<v Speaker 2>I think a saucy twenty one sauces of all kinds

0:57:39.640 --> 0:57:40.920
<v Speaker 2>because I don't think they're going to take you long,

0:57:40.920 --> 0:57:43.320
<v Speaker 2>because you can largely just follow recipes and then the

0:57:43.320 --> 0:57:45.440
<v Speaker 2>next time you make it, you just make whatever adjustments

0:57:45.440 --> 0:57:48.400
<v Speaker 2>that you felt it needed. But I think a saucy

0:57:48.440 --> 0:57:51.600
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty one because if Kate's eating largely vegetarian meals,

0:57:52.000 --> 0:57:56.240
<v Speaker 2>you're enhancing her meals. If you are making, you know,

0:57:56.280 --> 0:57:59.560
<v Speaker 2>an amazing burger sauce put on a veggie burger, if

0:57:59.560 --> 0:58:05.280
<v Speaker 2>you're making an amazing salsaver day, anything you want, like

0:58:05.320 --> 0:58:07.160
<v Speaker 2>you just I think you take it by the month

0:58:07.600 --> 0:58:10.400
<v Speaker 2>and you say, Okay, it's it's salsa month this month. Right,

0:58:10.440 --> 0:58:15.000
<v Speaker 2>next month it's s sandwich sauces salsa September, and then

0:58:15.040 --> 0:58:18.920
<v Speaker 2>it's it's a marinera March, and just be a very

0:58:18.920 --> 0:58:19.880
<v Speaker 2>alliterative with it, just.

0:58:19.800 --> 0:58:21.720
<v Speaker 1>For be the sauce king of Pennsylvania.

0:58:22.320 --> 0:58:24.280
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a saucy twenty twenty one.

0:58:24.760 --> 0:58:27.200
<v Speaker 1>How about you? You got anything before we close it out.

0:58:27.080 --> 0:58:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Here, mostly sauce based. Yeah, No, it's more I want

0:58:33.680 --> 0:58:36.080
<v Speaker 2>to I want to be I need to find better

0:58:36.120 --> 0:58:39.200
<v Speaker 2>ways to exercise in the cold because I'm always much happier.

0:58:39.200 --> 0:58:41.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm in a better place mentally if I'm able to

0:58:41.360 --> 0:58:42.480
<v Speaker 2>get exercise in the morning.

0:58:43.000 --> 0:58:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:58:43.240 --> 0:58:45.720
<v Speaker 2>So that's something that's big for me. The cooking, I

0:58:45.720 --> 0:58:48.120
<v Speaker 2>don't have a next dish. I think pizzas can still

0:58:48.120 --> 0:58:50.000
<v Speaker 2>going to take up a lot of my energy my

0:58:50.080 --> 0:58:53.880
<v Speaker 2>focus from a cooking perspective. Sure, I need to be neater.

0:58:54.080 --> 0:58:57.680
<v Speaker 2>I for sure need to just uh you know, keep

0:58:57.720 --> 0:59:00.960
<v Speaker 2>my areas clean, keep the house cleaner than I do like.

0:59:01.080 --> 0:59:04.000
<v Speaker 2>I just tidiness is huge and will continue to be

0:59:04.080 --> 0:59:07.439
<v Speaker 2>huge for me because I like a good tidy area.

0:59:07.480 --> 0:59:09.520
<v Speaker 2>I just need to be better about staying consistent with it.

0:59:09.720 --> 0:59:13.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm very big on going to sleep with a clean

0:59:13.400 --> 0:59:16.360
<v Speaker 2>house and not leaving stuff for the morning. But that

0:59:16.480 --> 0:59:18.040
<v Speaker 2>just means I have to stay up lighter and clean

0:59:18.040 --> 0:59:20.080
<v Speaker 2>everything I didn't during the day exactly. So that's a

0:59:20.080 --> 0:59:23.720
<v Speaker 2>big goal for me. You know, leave the kitchen tidy

0:59:23.920 --> 0:59:27.560
<v Speaker 2>and pristine for when I wake up. All right, Yeah,
