Speaker 2: I'm a man, I'm for I've heard so many players say, well,

Speaker 2: I want to be happy. You want to be happy

16
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:57,520

Speaker 1: Is that woo woom and down and tie. Welcome back

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: to the Solid Burbo boys and girls. My name is

19
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: Ty hilden Brand, joining me again. He came back, Dan.

20
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: Rubinstein, Sir, can't get enough tie. How's it going? You

21
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: know it's pretty good? Ty, that's a lie. I was

22
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles and it was nice and warm and sunny,

23
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 2: and I was hanging out Santa Monica and Venice and

24
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 2: just eating great Mexican food and living my best life.

25
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: And now I'm back in New York and in a room. Ty,

26
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 2: if you could see my setup?

27
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, for first question here of this Q and A show.

28
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just moved.

29
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 1: I know that you moved. You talked about it on

30
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: one of our previous shows that you moved. Right, What

31
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: is your new recording setup now?

32
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: So Jody with and I and I moved to just

33
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: like down the block. It's still in Brooklyn, but as

34
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: we speak right now, most of our apartment is all

35
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: set and ready to go. We need to roll out.

36
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 2: I think we're getting a couple of rugs clean because

37
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: you got to have sort of soft floors in New

38
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: York so people aren't stomping around all over the place. Well,

39
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: my current setup, in this tiny little room we have,

40
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: I have just crap everywhere. I have a bag of

41
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: shoes at guitar case, a box full of paper towels.

42
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 2: I am speaking directly into a coat closet like I'm

43
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: staying two feet in front. There's a tiny bookshelf and

44
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: on top of that a laundry hamper, and on top

45
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: of that a towel, so at least deadens some of

46
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: the sound as I speak into my microphone which is

47
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: next to my laptop. So it is a DIY garbage setup.

48
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: I mean literally there is garbage. I am surrounded garbage,

49
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 2: and hopefully the show is slightly better than being surrounded

50
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: by garbage because we're doing what we're doing. Q and

51
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: A Today, Q and A Today. Yeah, Yes, boonus. So

52
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: I on let's say, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and I guess

53
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: via email, ask questions about or ask people to ask

54
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: questions about spring football season, hypotheticals, college football TV issues,

55
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: reasonable expectations, unreasonable expectations, and literally whatever else. And we

56
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 2: got a ton of really really strong questions.

57
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: Ty, we did absolutely so again, if you are new

58
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: to the show, we've been trying to tell as many

59
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: folks as we can this offseason about what we're doing here.

60
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: Bring as many under the tent as humanly possible. We

61
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: are the Solid Verbal I'm Ty, He's Dan. You can

68

Speaker 1: com slash our slash solid Verbal, where our fans have

69
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: congregated all throughout the last year or so to talk

70
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: about what we talk about here on the program and

71
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: what we like to do once a month, I guess

72
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: this month where technically do it? Doing it once?

73
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: Do it as often as we want? Ty who cares?

74
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: It is our show, but we like to take questions

75
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: from the verbaler hood, read them aloud, and try to

76
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: provide insight wherever possible. Sometimes that insight is better than others.

77
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: My sense is that we're both shot out of a

78
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: canon today.

79
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: I'm ready to go.

80
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: I hear it in your voice that we're we're shot

81
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: out of a cannon here, and I'm feeling the same.

82
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: So should we get to our first question? I think

83
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: we should get to our first question? Okay, where we're going.

84
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: Let's go with John. Lots of people talk about which

85
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: fan base has the most unrealistic expectations, the Nebraska corn Huskers.

86
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm excited to see Nebraska. But nobody ever

87
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: discusses that was my editor orzation. Nobody discusses reasonable fan bases.

88
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 2: From your experience, which fan base has the most reasonable

89
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 2: expectation and healthiest relationship with their team? And as I'm

90
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 2: reading this question, I can only think about the time

91
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: when I was at SI, and I guess you were

92
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: at SI at this time as well. When I was

93
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: invited to the SI swimsuit party in Las Vegas. Let

94
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: me tell you something, Ti, My expectations were very recent.

95
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 2: I went to that party. In my expectation was I'm

96
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna get a good, good drink or two,

97
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna dance a little bit, and I'm gonna take

98
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: pictures with West Coast or West Coast with camera guy Dave,

99
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 2: who I brought along with me and watched a rash

100
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: Markazi dance. That was my expectation, and it all came true.

101
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: Does it feel to you that the only true correct answer,

102
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: the one true champion of this question has sort of

103
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: always been Illinois football.

104
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know about that.

105
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: It's always an Illinois football.

106
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: Well, yes, I'm going to posit this as reasonable expectations

107
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 2: of being acceptable acceptable okay, because I think there is

108
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: an element of you know, Chicago's not a high school

109
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: football hotbed, but Illinois has I wouldn't say recent or

110
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 2: modern history of success, but they should be able to

111
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: recruit better. And they actually I've been paying a little

112
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: bit of attention to recruiting thus far because of our

113
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: pal Scott Eli and I fan Scott. I think they

114
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 2: just got a five star athlete out of Saint Louis

115
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: who might play quarterback, and so they're doing a little

116
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 2: bit better. But Texas.

117
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: My point is, you know, I remember we talked to

118
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: Robert from alioni dot com. We talked to our friend

119
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: will Leach. Certainly, we've talked to line eye fans, Scott like.

120
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: They all seem to have a very healthy relationship with

121
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: the team. They want the team to do well, but

122
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: if it doesn't, they almost have a license to go

123
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: out and explore other teams. It's a very open relationship

124
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: with their college football team.

125
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would, I would flip it and tweak it

126
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: a little bit. Like, I don't think Illinois fans have

127
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: any expectations exactly, So let's move to like who has

128
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 2: an acceptable level of positive expectations and for that path.

129
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: I would say people who have the most data about

130
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 2: their coach, so people who have experience with a longer

131
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 2: tenured coach. And so the check marks I have are Northwestern, Okay, Stanford, Iowa,

132
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 2: Kansas State, and Navy. In terms of bigger programs, who

133
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 2: you know, maybe Georgia Tech, but that's just it's so

134
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: up and down with Georgia Tech. And I think there's

135
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: a certain amount of frustration given what Georgia Tech's ceiling

136
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: should be, given its location, and you can attract academically

137
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 2: really good kids. Perhaps that otherwise going to places like

138
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: Duke or Stanford or Notre Dame or Vanderbilt whatever. I

139
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: think that list is where I'm probably going to stuck TCU.

140
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: Maybe I think there's an expectation I considered TCU.

141
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: I first off, I think everyone in the SEC is out. Yes,

142
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: everyone in the SEC is out.

143
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: Maybe other than Vandy, I think there's not much in

144
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: terms of expectations there.

145
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: There are fan bases that have tasted success, and when

146
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: they do, they tend to lust for more. And that's

147
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: true in nearly every case. Right. What we're trying to

148
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: find here are are examples of the few fan bases

149
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: that don't seem to get out of hand. And I

150
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: do think the coaching element factors in one that you

151
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: forgot is Michigan State. I think Michigan State probably falls

152
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: into that category two. But Northwestern Stanford Navy, you said Iowa.

153
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: I had k State down on my list as well.

154
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: These are teams that by and large are very confident

155
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: in the coach that they have and have seen their

156
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: coaches spin gold out of what was deemed by others

157
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: to not be the deepest of talent pools, and so

158
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: that earns them a lot of credibility that earns them

159
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: a longer leash, and I think in most cases it

160
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: leads to fan bases that aren't prone to unreasonable expectations.

161
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think all of those coaches. I think the

162
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 2: common thread with what Pat Fitzgerald, David Shaq, Kirk Farence,

163
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: Bill Snyder, Kenny Mandalolo is that the fan bases have

164
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 2: made peace with who they are, which are all good coaches,

165
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 2: and that they will win more games that they should

166
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 2: or many more games that they should than otherwise. And

167
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 2: that's that's a pretty good place. If not, you know,

168
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: you can get bored. And maybe we'll talk about this

169
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: with USC and I have a comparison for Clay Helton's

170
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: being nothing but successful, but there is that boredom element.

171
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: But I don't think there is that expectation of blue

172
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 2: blood for any of those schools. So Matt, I think

173
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 2: they're in good places.

174
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: Okay, good answer, good question, Thank you, John. Where we

175
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: going next? Next?

176
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 2: Let's go. This is a question from Reddit from rock

177
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 2: Leg rock Leg, whatever rock Leg is, which cellar dweller

178
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: Power five program is least deserving of a meteorc rise

179
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: to the top of the conference and as a bonus,

180
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 2: which long suffering fan base is least deserving of playoff glory.

181
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 2: So I'm man, that's tough, but I can answer the

182
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: first one, okay, which I imagine you can as well.

183
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 2: And I'm going to answer this in terms of a

184
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: faction because it's hard to paint even though that's, you know,

185
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: the fun part of being fun about college football, but

186
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: it's hard to paint a fan base as a complete

187
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: homogenistic whatever or society that there everybody is the same.

188
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 2: But I would say if there's any faction of a

189
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 2: fan base that has traditionally been pretty low, although they've

190
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: been a little bit higher lately, but traditionally been low

191
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 2: and would be very happy to see them miserable forever.

192
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 2: Would be that Art Brill's shirt selling and buying faction

193
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 2: of the Baylor fan base when everything was going down.

194
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 2: I'd be happy if Baylor was firmly entrenched, not because

195
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 2: of reasonable, nice, kind, you know, supportive, pragmatic Baylor fans,

196
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 2: but if there's any faction of a fan base that

197
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: would make me happy to see them miserable forever, it'd

198
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 2: probably be that group of Baylor fans and maybe some

199
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 2: Joe pot Truthers and Penn State.

200
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: I was going to bring up the Joe Podruthers. I

201
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: think there's okay, there's definitely something there. I'm not going

202
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: to directly answer this question from rock Leg. Did you

203
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: say rock Leg WBZR clag. Yeah, he did pose a

204
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: bonus question, which long suffering fan base is least deserving

205
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: of playoff glory?

206
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

207
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: I'm a Notre Dame fan.

208
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 2: Uh huh. I like where you're going.

209
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,599
Speaker 1: It's well known on this program and throughout the interwebs

210
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: that I am a college football fan for the University

211
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: of Notre Dame in addition to Penn State, my alma mater,

212
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: but by and large I've been a Notre Dame fan

213
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: my entire life. You can make a really strong case

214
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: here that the Notre Dame fan base, the holier than

215
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: thou sort of entitled section of the Notre Dame fan base,

216
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: is qualified to be the answer here.

217
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: The good news is so many of them don't have

218
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 2: the Internet, so their reaction not saying all.

219
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm not saying. I'm not saying. Most of the people

220
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: that I have the good fortune of dealing with, most

221
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: people I think have their head in the right place.

222
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: But there is a very very small minority of the

223
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: Notre Dame fan base that fits that mold, a little

224
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: holier than thou, little entitled, and I think it is

225
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: that group that gives Notre Dame fans as a whole

226
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: a bad.

227
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 2: Name non football, which I think this is a phenomenal question, ty,

228
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 2: and this goes to the heart of who we are

229
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: truly as people. Which of your friend's hobbies are you

230
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 2: awful at? If Dan goes to hang out at someone's

231
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 2: place and gets handed to controller to play Madden, who

232
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 2: hold his own? First? Of all? The answer is yes,

233
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 2: I am totally decent and acceptable, if not pretty good.

234
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 2: Sometimes at football video games, mainly in C DOUBLEA, but

235
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 2: certainly Madden.

236
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: Have you, by the way, have you tried the latest Madden? No,

237
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: It's impossible, is it really? I used to be so

238
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: good at the previous renditions of Madden, and in so

239
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: much harder. It's just different. I don't know. There are

240
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: various controls now to like jump up and catch the ball.

241
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: It seems like you can't. You can't run the ten

242
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: yard out route every time anymore and get a first down,

243
00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: like without even trying. They've just made everything. And after

244
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: years away from playing the game, I decided I'd pick

245
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: it up when it was on sale and let me

246
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: tell you, woo woo. Not good.

247
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 2: Not good. So here's where I'm currently at video game wise,

248
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 2: before I answer this question. There has not been an

249
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 2: NCAA release in five years, four years something like that.

250
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: I think the last one was NCAA fourteen, which would

251
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 2: have come out in twenty thirteen, right, yep, summer of

252
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: twenty thirteen, so it's almost going on five years. I

253
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: am at the point where I have interest in video games,

254
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 2: but I don't want to shoot people and I don't

255
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: want to learn advanced football controls for Madden, and I

256
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 2: don't really care about the NFL that much. And I'm

257
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 2: i bawling a Nintendo Switch and playing Mario with the

258
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 2: rest of my days, like I never have. That's super

259
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: attractive to me. I have both the switch and the

260
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: PS four. Is that true?

261
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: It is true?

262
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 2: How's the switch?

263
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: This switch is fantastic.

264
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 2: What do you play?

265
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 1: I'm mostly into Mario Kart. I played a little bit

266
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: of the Zelda game mm hmmm, which is pretty cool.

267
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: Solid wise, Kate got into Yeah, into the Zelda game.

268
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: Are you playing it on the screen or are you

269
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 2: playing a handheld? Mostly on the screen? Okay, mostly on

270
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 2: the screen, but Mario.

271
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: Kart still brings it. Still my favorite game by far

272
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: in the Nintendo universe interest and as far as PS

273
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: four goes, I have dabbled with a couple of the

274
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: sports games that are out there. The best one remains

275
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: a soccer game, FIFA FIFA. But you have to put

276
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: in some time, right, Yeah, I'm awful at it. Yeah,

277
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: I'm awful at it, and so I've resorted to playing

278
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: on a lower difficulty, beating teams by eight goals and

279
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: just enjoying myself.

280
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 2: My broader answer to this question one golf. I'm not

281
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 2: awful at golf. I'm awful at wanting to play golf.

282
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: I grew up playing. I went to you know, I

283
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 2: learned how to play like. I love going to driving ranges.

284
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: I've never been to. It's it called top top golf.

285
00:14:58,800 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: That's a good time.

286
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 2: Have you been been? I've never been. It looks like

287
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 2: a great time because it looks like you just hit

288
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 2: a bunch of golf balls and drink beer and eat

289
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 2: tater tots. That's my zone. It's pretty much that is

290
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 2: that is my zone. I would love to do that.

291
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: I'm totally fine at golf. I mean, i'd probably shoot

292
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 2: a hundred or something like that, but I don't I

293
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 2: wouldn't look like a spas. I just don't want to

294
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 2: dedicate four and a half hours like that. That to

295
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 2: me is sort of miserable. I'd rather just play sports,

296
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 2: you know. I'd rather go for a run or play basketball.

297
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: I've only gone paintballing once and I'd probably be really

298
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 2: bad at that. And my final answer drinking. Not a

299
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 2: great drinker, tie and I guess cocaine. I don't know

300
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: if any of my friends are coke heads, but since

301
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 2: I have never partaken, I'd be pretty bad at cocaine.

302
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: Okay, I think that that's my answer. Yeah, I'm I'm

303
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: pretty awful at actually your hobby, which is going out

304
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: and trying different kinds of foods.

305
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: Oh, come on, it's the easy, it's the most fun

306
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: thing it is. But I'm I'm just not you're setting

307
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: your ways, not that into it. Yeah, I'm setting my

308
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 2: ways so much like you. The idea of golf, the

309
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 2: idea of dedicating time to whatever. I kind of feel

310
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 2: the same way about different kinds of foods. I am

311
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: going again to Mexico City in a couple months, and

312
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: my day is this wake up, maybe work out. It's

313
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 2: sort of like cors Field because it's like seven thousand

314
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 2: feet up, so gotta be careful not exert myself too

315
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 2: much and just walk and eat all day. And it

316
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 2: is the greatest tie. We got to get you down

317
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 2: in Mexico City and get you some non.

318
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: Do our live shown in Mexico.

319
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: Oh my god, at Azteca before the Lehi Colgate game

320
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 2: of course. Okay, next question, let's go to Oh here's

321
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 2: a good one, duck caught upstream. This is also from Reddit.

322
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 2: Two good questions after a down year last year, how

323
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 2: many Pac twelve teams do you think are good enough

324
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 2: to be in realistic contention for a college football playoff

325
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 2: spot when November rolls around. The most accurate answer I

326
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 2: could come up with was like a half a half

327
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: of a team. I don't know what your answer is,

328
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 2: but I'm going to run through some pertinent information to

329
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 2: hopefully help your answers.

330
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: Well, I mean the first answer is Arizona State, right.

331
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely, as I well, nobody in the South. Yeah,

332
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 2: that's I don't think that's fully true. The USC schedule

333
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: is pretty good with a new quarterback with a new quelt.

334
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: See that's the thing. So they have what it's Matt Fink,

335
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 2: Jack Sears and JT. Daniels' incoming, So they don't have

336
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 2: that blue chip, known quantity quarterback like they had last

337
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 2: year with sort of a screwy schedule. But USC's defense,

338
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 2: especially their secondary, is in pretty good shape. The linebacking

339
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 2: course pretty good. I know they they lose what Rashim

340
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 2: Green and Wosu on the on the line, so there's

341
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 2: some rebuilding there. But offensive skill wise, I liked Tyler Vaughds.

342
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: The offensive line is somewhat intact, Stephen Carr should step

343
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 2: into a pretty big role in the backfield. Schedule wise,

344
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 2: it's pretty good. So they're at Stanford and at Texas

345
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: early on consecutively, and that's tough. But Stanford is outside

346
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 2: of Bryce Love. I'm not sure what really truly scares

347
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: me about Stanford this year. Texas will see what their

348
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 2: offense looks like. Defensively, they're in great shape, but you know,

349
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 2: USC is coming off of a win there. They go

350
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: to Utah, but they have Notre Dame at home after

351
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 2: the UCLA game, and miss Oregon and Washington from the north.

352
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: So all things considered, I'd say that's pretty solid, right.

353
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I mean the schedule's fun. I just you

354
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: lose Sam Darnold. Yeah, it's tough to be what I

355
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: would answer here a legitimate playoff threat.

356
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 2: But they maintain their coaching staff, which I think is

357
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 2: pretty enormous. Tim Martin is back after some flirtation, I guess,

358
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 2: so I'm I'm pretty good with USC, just in terms

359
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 2: of what their actual season looks like. Quickly, Stanford's schedule

360
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 2: is super tough. They're at Oregon, at Notre Dame, at

361
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 2: Utah consecutively and then at Utah's consecutive with Wazoo. Excuse me,

362
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:18,719
Speaker 2: but Washington is on the road at UCLA to end

363
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 2: the season, and that's just and that's after going to

364
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 2: Cal for a rivalry game, so that's sort of a

365
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 2: screwy way to end things. Oregon has a non conference

366
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 2: garbage or excuse me, Oregon's non conference schedule is garbage.

367
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 2: Important clarification, important clarification. They don't have USC, as mentioned,

368
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 2: they have Stanford, Washington, Ucla all at home with Washington

369
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 2: after a buye. So Oregon is a good contender for

370
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 2: and I've mentioned this before, schedules better than they actually are.

371
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 2: But if Justin Herbert is able to stay healthy, they

372
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: should be able to take another step forward on defense.

373
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 2: Washington opens the season in Atlanta against Auburn. They go

374
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 2: to Utah to UCLA and Ucla and Oregon are on

375
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 2: the road consecutively, and they have no bye week until

376
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 2: November tenth, and a short week rivalry game on a

377
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 2: Friday on the road at Wazoo, which obviously Chris Peterson

378
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 2: owns Mike Leach. But we saw it last year when

379
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 2: you have that short week road game with USC going

380
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 2: to Wazoo ended up being pretty brutal for the Trojans.

381
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: So man schedule seems fine because Washington misses USC Arizona,

382
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: my answer.

383
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: Was going to be either Washington or Stanford.

384
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would put my money on Washington, even with

385
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 2: the losses up front. On defense, they sell Greg Gains

386
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 2: that secondary should be filthy. I love Taylor Rapp.

387
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: I think the answer is Washington and or Stanford. So

388
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: the question what legitimate legitimate playoff teams realistically good enough

389
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: to be in the College Football Playoff come November.

390
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 2: I'd say one and a half is probably my.

391
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: One and a half I think is a good line.

392
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: I'll go with one.

393
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 2: Should also mention just because Arizona has the best quarterback

394
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 2: in the South in Khalil Tates go to Houston in

395
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 2: the non conference schedule, and they do have that dreaded

396
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 2: PAC twelve short week road game at Utah altitude. I'm

397
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 2: almost in the way that we last season said the

398
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 2: USC short week at Wazoo on a Friday night shout

399
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: out Adam Ameme, that's man. Circle that game as like

400
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 2: the biggest trip up totally. I would if Arizona is

401
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 2: good under Kevin someone this year, I would circle that

402
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 2: Utah game on the road the short week. That's rough.

403
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: Definitely, definitely all right, good question, but yeah, let's go

404
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,479
Speaker 1: one and a half Washington and Stanford as our official

405
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,719
Speaker 1: answer here the verbal Dan before we go. Next question, Yes,

Speaker 1: proper Cloth. Daniel, where are we going?

465
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 2: Attic pause? Where are we going next?

466
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:47,239
Speaker 1: Thank you?

467
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: Let's go to Dan, who has a good college football

468
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 2: TV question. Dan clob clob a car clob Ashar Club Ashar.

469
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: That's right.

470
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: So many games being broadcast, you know, across so many channels,

471
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 2: com ference networks, whatever. It really seems like there is

472
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 2: a shortage of quality announcing teams. I don't know if

473
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 2: I agree with that, but whatever, What kind of gimmick

474
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: color commentator would you like to see? Comedian actor dog Dog?

475
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: The dog would be interesting? I'll give him none of

476
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: the above.

477
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 2: Okay, So here is I have both a serious and yeah,

478
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 2: I have very indulgent answer, indulging not for us, but

479
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 2: indulgent for his question. So the serious answer is it's

480
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 2: sort of disrespectful to put a dog on a game

481
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 2: to the two fan bases who are watching this game

482
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 2: and care about you know, if if ESPNU has Wake

483
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 2: Syracuse or USF Temple or something like that, and it's

484
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 2: I don't know, if it's our pal adam Ameme with

485
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 2: a German shepherd, that's not great. That means we don't

486
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 2: take your game and your efforts and the history of

487
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 2: your fandom all that seriously. I mean, it depends on

488
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 2: the dog. It's true, there are a lot of good dogs.

489
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 2: There are a lot of good dogs.

490
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 1: In the animal act typically on broadcast, television, broadcast anything

491
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,959
Speaker 1: has really been a success. So I don't know if

492
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: that's entirely true, but I do hear your point correct.

493
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 2: I would say that if you are looking to shake

494
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 2: things up and draw attention to, like you know, a

495
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: Big ten spillover game on the Big ten network on

496
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 2: Big ten two or something like that, or draw attention

497
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 2: to I think stadium is now a thing, the Stadium network,

498
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 2: which I think broadcast game on Facebook, so always probably

499
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 2: looking for. I think gimmick is too.

500
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: You're going to steal an answer here, aren't you. I

501
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: don't think you're going to steal my answer. I know what,

502
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: I can feel it.

503
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 2: I will you know what, ty, I will give you

504
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 2: your platform right now.

505
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 1: You're going to steal my damn answer, say it. I

506
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: don't think the answer to this question is a gimmick commentator.

507
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't.

508
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: Think it's a comedian, an actor, a dog, right, a

509
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: fee lion. I don't think it's any kind of gimmick

510
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: ann answer.

511
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 2: You should just keep naming types of vand I don't

512
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 2: think it's a cephalapod. I don't think it's a mollusk.

513
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: I think it's more a matter of format than it

514
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: is the actual commentator. Like remember when they did the

515
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: coach's film room m hmm during the National Championship. If

516
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: they could find a way to make that a little

517
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: bit more digestible, maybe not have five guys in a

518
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: room yelling out terms that most of the population doesn't understand.

519
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: If they could refine that a little bit, a format

520
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: like that will be rather interesting. Sort of what Adam

521
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: Amin did on the night of the National champion the

522
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: Homer's broadcast, the Homer's Broadcast, where he was walking around

523
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: on the sidelines and they had guys on either side.

524
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: He was doing that with Joe Tests. That stuff was

525
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: I thought pretty interesting and is enough to shake it

526
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: up where even if you're not fully into a game,

527
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 1: you might tune in just to see what the format

528
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: is all about. I think that's the answer here.

529
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 2: I like the idea, and I think you're on the

530
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 2: right track. That wasn't my answer, so okay, So part

531
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 2: of my answer would be radio feed. But like a

532
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 2: lot of these networks have spill channels, So like if

533
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 2: it's Purdue Nebraska on the Big Ten network and Big

534
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 2: Ten has spillover, maybe you have that familiar voice. You

535
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 2: know some people you grew up a Dodger fan, and

536
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 2: there were a lot of people when it was a

537
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 2: Vince Scully game on the radio but not on TV,

538
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,719
Speaker 2: would mute the TV intern on the radio, So perhaps

539
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 2: marrying That's my other answer is what about bring in

540
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: notable NBA broadcasters or college basketball or baseball, or just

541
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 2: like experience, like Bill Raftrie, I like Bell Raftery. If

542
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 2: let's say Kyler Murray throws a bomb that's ridiculous after

543
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 2: shedding two tackles, and Bill Rafty is yelling onions, I'm

544
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 2: pretty excited.

545
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: I mean they sort of did that a little bit

546
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: with Gus Johnson.

547
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,479
Speaker 2: Right, And it works to varying degrees and it depends

548
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 2: on the person, but it's not terribly hard to prep.

549
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 2: You learn names, you learn backstories, you learn history whatever

550
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 2: of these teams of the season, whatever. But I think

551
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 2: there are voices out there.

552
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: Oh you know we're missing we're missing the obvious who us?

553
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 2: Well, obviously we have to start with Patley, get at us,

554
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 2: get at us, pat League.

555
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: We could do something like that.

556
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 2: That would be my answer, Or like hell, like Pat

557
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 2: say Jack, he's pretty good, He's pretty smooth. He likes sports. Yeah, yeah,

558
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 2: so that's my answer. Not a dog, but a mollusc.

559
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: A cute dog would work.

560
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 2: But okay, next question, Robbie wants to know USC goes

561
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 2: ten and two and loses the title game to Washington.

562
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 2: Let's assume they go to the Rose Bowl and lose.

563
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 2: In his three years there, there are three top fifteen

564
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 2: finish as a conference win, at division win, a Rose

565
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 2: Bowl win in three New year six game appearances. Is

566
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 2: Clay Helton still on the hot seat? So I believe

567
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 2: if I'm understanding this question correctly, Robbie wants to know,

568
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 2: is there, in perpetuity USC fan acceptance of really good

569
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 2: but not great.

570
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: Clay Helton's perpetually hot seat is what I think we're

571
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: talking about here. Potential Fantasy things draft pick absolutely in

572
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: her upcoming fan I see things drafted an undetermined location

573
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: at this point about August August time frame. Stay tuned

574
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: for our next live show if you're interested. Yeah, the

575
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: perpetual hotness of the Clay Hilton's seat is of interest

576
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: to me, and I don't think it's fair to him.

577
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: Clay Helton stepped into that role at USC after a

578
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: long list of other coaches, higher profile guys who didn't

579
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: work out for one reason or another. He had the

580
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: kiff And thing, the Sarkesian thing like, it just didn't

581
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: work out for a lot of folks. He had coach

582
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: oh there for a little bit lobbying to get that role.

583
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: Clay Helton almost stepped into a situation where this was

584
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,479
Speaker 1: always going to be the case. So the answer of

585
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: will he versus should he is important here. I don't

586
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: think he should if again, in three years there are

587
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: three top fifteen finishes. But I do think that back

588
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: to our earlier question at the top of the show,

589
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: expectations at a blue blood school like USC are already

590
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: so high, and the talent pool is already so deep

591
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: that if they don't get over that hump, if they

592
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: don't become anything more than just a top fifteen team

593
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,719
Speaker 1: at the end of each season, eventually, yeah, he's going

594
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: to get let go. Eventually, Yeah, the hot seat is

595
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: going to overtake him. I think he will remain on

596
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: the hot seat if he can't get over that hump.

597
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 2: On the national stage, USC looked sensational on offense against

598
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 2: Penn State in an all time fun ridiculous rewatchable game, yes, absolutely,

599
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 2: for sure. Yes, then they completely look lost and overmatched

600
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 2: against Ohio State in the bowl game last year, and

601
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 2: you know, obviously in a very very early game, just

602
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 2: get drilled, demolished and squashed by Alabama on a neutral site.

603
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 2: So USC measures itself and I say that as a

604
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 2: fan base and a school whatever against the country's best,

605
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 2: because they're able to attract the best. They have a

606
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 2: history that aligns with the best of the best nationally

607
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 2: and even a recent history in the Pete Carroll era

608
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 2: that aligns with them. But could there be an element?

609
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 2: And I have his stats in front of me, and

610
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 2: this is so early on because he was at his

611
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 2: place for fifteen years. Mark Richt right good consistently forever.

612
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 2: But it just got to the point where people in

613
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 2: charge fans said, can't we be a little more? Can't

614
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 2: we be significantly more than good? And Mark ricked in

615
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,959
Speaker 2: his fifteen years at Georgia nine out of those fifteen

616
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 2: years he won ten plus games. As significant he went

617
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 2: till three Sugar Bowls in fifteen years, so that's not

618
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 2: the greatest and had six shares of the East at

619
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 2: least either outright wins of the division or a share

620
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 2: of the division, but at a certain fifteen years is

621
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 2: a long time. But if Clay Helton is on that

622
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: sort of pace, like he goes five out of eight

623
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 2: years ten plus wins, six out of eight ten plus wins,

624
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 2: but never gets over the hump of winning the Rose

625
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 2: Bowl or just never does anything in the playoff, I

626
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 2: think there will be an element at USC that says,

627
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 2: we need a little more seasoning on this roast. We

628
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 2: just need a little bit more. And I think it's

629
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 2: not imminent. But Clay Helton, I don't think inspires the

630
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 2: same amount of program facedness as Pete Carroll, and that

631
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 2: is always going to be in the back of people's minds.

632
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 2: I believe that if he maxes out at winning or

633
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 2: losing the Rose Bowl, it's going to grow tiresome. But

634
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 2: not anytime soon.

635
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: Not anytime soon, And like I said, eventually he will

636
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: be overcome by the hotness of the seat. But you

637
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: do bring up a really important point, and it's one

638
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: that we mentioned Gosh, I want to say six or

639
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: eight months ago, when we were talking about USC and

640
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: Clay Hilton. Back in twenty seventeen, Dan Clay Heilton walked

641
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 1: into an airport. How many people you think would recognize how.

642
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 2: Many people would recognize Clayilton at a Hudson News The

643
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 2: answer is zero, Maybe in LA a couple.

644
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that factors in as well. He doesn't

645
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: have that gravitas of I don't know, Pete Carroll, someone

646
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 1: who's been there before, had a lot of success, someone

647
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 1: who's recognizable.

648
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's the thing. If he's recruiting on a

649
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,919
Speaker 2: top three to five level, he should have top three

650
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,919
Speaker 2: to five results, and that means within the next three

651
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 2: years he has to win at least a playoff.

652
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 1: Game, right, I would think I think that's fair.

653
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 2: So that's where I come down with Clayhilton, who has

654
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 2: done a fantastic job, you know, taking over a program

655
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 2: that was in crazy flux, recruited super well developed quarterbacks,

656
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 2: has hired really well. He has done everything that USC

657
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 2: could possibly hope for short of top two to three results.

658
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 2: That's a really good agreed next question and the opposite

659
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,760
Speaker 2: end of things from Matt giving the way both Virginia

660
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 2: football and basketball Womp WOMP ended their twenty seventeen eighteen

661
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 2: seasons losing against teams from Maryland. Is there any hope

662
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 2: Bronco can turn things around in Charlottesville. Yes, I'm still better.

663
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: Okay, hold on, Virginia last went to a bowl in

664
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: twenty eleven.

665
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 2: Mm. Hm.

666
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,760
Speaker 1: They went to a bowl. They lost the Military Bowl

667
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: a couple months ago, hm, but still went to a

668
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: bowl game for the first time in six years. Now.

669
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: UVA might not be on the precipice of winning the

670
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: ACC going to a playoff game, but clearly the results

671
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: have been there in year two that I think if

672
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: you're a fan of the team, you have reason for optimism.

673
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: It's obviously a much different situation than what we saw

674
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: with EVA basketball leading to a sixteen seed, but I

675
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 1: feel pretty good about where Bronco Man and Hall's gotten

676
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 1: them in just two years.

677
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 2: Do we follow a time sport though, time in saying

678
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 2: that you got to give him time? It's not necessarily

679
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 2: a sport that's rooted in time.

680
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: No, it isn't. But not all programs are created equally.

681
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: If you step into a job at let's go back

682
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: to USC you are inherently at much more of an

683
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 1: advantage than you would be at a program like UVA,

684
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: which again hadn't been to a bowl game in six

685
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 1: full seasons.

686
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 2: Right. Here's why I'm sort of down on Virginia. If

687
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 2: I gave you an over under of one and a

688
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 2: half blue chip players recruited or committed to Virginia in

689
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 2: the last three years, what are you taking.

690
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 1: Under?

691
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's zero. They have not gotten it on blue

692
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 2: chip commitment in the last three seasons, so in the

693
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 2: Bronco Mendenhall era, And that to me is worrisome. Not

694
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 2: because you need blue chip players to win eight games

695
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 2: a year. You need a lot of factors to win

696
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 2: eight plus games a year in a Power five conference.

697
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 2: And I think the expectation for Virginia should be bowl

698
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 2: games to a Bowl last year. The problem with Virginia,

699
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 2: as I see it as somebody who has watched not

700
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 2: a lot of Virginia games, but some Virginia games, is

701
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 2: probably going to end up year over year. If they're

702
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 2: not able to attract higher level talent, it's going to

703
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 2: be depth. What do we see from Virginia last year?

704
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 2: They finished the season losing four straight ACC games. After

705
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 2: starting what three to one? They lose four straight? What

706
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 2: do they do against Miami? They look sensational in the

707
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 2: first half and can't quite close it out. That to

708
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 2: me is the problem with Virginia that they are going

709
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 2: to win games early on, They're going to beat teams

710
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 2: that they are more talented then, but they're ceiling when

711
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 2: you're not able to attract slightly higher level. A slightly

712
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 2: higher level of talent is they're going to max out

713
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 2: at six or seven games every year, and that's max

714
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 2: max max, everything coming together really really well. You know,

715
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 2: they had that awesome game against Boise last year to

716
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 2: get them Bowl eligible, right, so they win that game

717
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 2: early on, and that seems to be a huge difference maker.

718
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 2: That's why I'm not at the moment because of how

719
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 2: down that offense looked most of the year last year,

720
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 2: and the defense was fine. It was top forty or

721
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 2: fifty defense. That's why I can't. And this year I

722
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 2: think they miss Clemson in Florida State, which is wonderful

723
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 2: for them, But there's nothing to me that says Virginia

724
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 2: is probably going to hit their ceiling as a program

725
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 2: with a kind of down pit, a so so Duke,

726
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 2: a super down North Carolina right now, a promising Virginia attack,

727
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 2: and a promising Miami in that division. I Virginia has

728
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 2: to be a little bit disappointed that they are not

729
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 2: taking advantage better right now? Okay, that's our That's where

730
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,760
Speaker 2: I stand, fair enough, the talent needs to be in

731
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 2: a higher place. To me, Ray wants to know. Let's say,

732
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 2: in the acc ty, what are your thoughts on Florida

733
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,919
Speaker 2: State's upcoming season. What do you think Willy Taggart's expectations

734
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 2: are for his team? Go knows, I don't. I'm not

735
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 2: familiar with who that is.

736
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. I like Willy Taggert at Florida State. That's my

737
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: broad answer. I think he fits in there. He obviously

738
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:19,760
Speaker 1: knows the landscape. It was talked about in circles long

739
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,439
Speaker 1: before Jimbo Fisher actually left that if he did, Willy

740
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: Taggart would be the place that Florida State went first.

741
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: So I think bringing him aboard makes a lot of sense.

742
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: I think he will succeed there, if not immediately, certainly

743
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: in the very very near future. Florida State's got a

744
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: lot of talent. I would expect that their offense is

745
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: going to run through cam akers this coming season. The

746
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: conference as a whole is always sort of a little

747
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: bit of wait and see. I think Florida State is

748
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: still very much in that top tier, and without having

749
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: their schedule in front of me, it's tough to sort

750
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: of gauge where that's going to go. But I wouldn't

751
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: expect there to be much much of a drop off

752
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 1: just becausefully Taggart's stepping in.

753
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 2: I think it's a very good time for a reboot

754
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 2: for Florida State. Jimbo Fisher always ran a pretty complicated

755
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 2: offense that put a lot on the quarterback in terms

756
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 2: of adjustments and audibles and different protections whatever. And the

757
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 2: big thing that Willy Taggert has been preaching, preached at

758
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 2: his introductory press conference was lethal simplicity that they are

759
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 2: going It'll be as much smaller playbook, it will get

760
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 2: the ball to playmakers and speed, all of you know,

761
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 2: your talking points at an introductory press conference, whatever. But

762
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 2: having watched a Willi Taggart offense for a season tie,

763
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 2: not many seasons, just one short season, I can tell

764
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,760
Speaker 2: you that it will be an offense that is going

765
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 2: to look much more fun and accessible than the last

766
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 2: couple of years of Florida State. We'll see at quarterback

767
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 2: they're going to run the quarterback more, which is both

768
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 2: good and bad. With DeAndre Swift or its DeAndre Swift,

769
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 2: DeAndre Francois coming off the injury, or whoever ends up

770
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 2: starting for Florida stated it seems that job is wide open,

771
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 2: so it could be Black as well. That will be

772
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 2: a new responsibility for quarterbacks. I think the defense will

773
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 2: be in a good place, and I do have the

774
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 2: schedule in front of me. They open against Virginia Tech

775
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 2: on that Labor Day Monday night game, which should be difficult.

776
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 2: It should be that Virginia Tech defense, even with losing

777
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 2: probably their two best players at least, that should be difficult.

778
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 2: But beyond that, I know Northern Illinois had a nice offense,

779
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 2: but they should in that's a rematch right the Floor

780
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 2: State Northern Illinois game. Louisville's defense should be manageable to

781
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 2: play against, I assume, but it should be improved from

782
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 2: where it was last year. The Miami defense should be tough.

783
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,919
Speaker 2: They get Clemson at home, and they go to Notre Dame,

784
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,479
Speaker 2: and that is it's a pretty good year, I would say.

785
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 2: And we don't really know what Notre Dame is going

786
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 2: to look like in mid November, but in terms of

787
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 2: where Notre Dame has been strong these past couple of

788
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 2: years at offensive line. It'll be a step back without

789
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 2: McGlinchey and Nelson. We don't know. We're not all that

790
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 2: confident in quarterback for Notre Dame in March, and they're

791
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 2: working in a new defensive coordinator. See what happens there.

792
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 2: We know what Notre Dame looks like with a really

793
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 2: good coordinated defense, and we know what it looks like

794
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 2: with sort of a shoddy mess of a coordinated defense

795
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 2: in the last two years.

796
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: Yep, oh yeah, we know well, no, quite well.

797
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,240
Speaker 2: And we don't know anything about what Florida will actually

798
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 2: look like. But that game is at home, So Florida

799
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 2: State should win nine games. I don't think it's unreasonable

800
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 2: to say that they should win nine games with the

801
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 2: talent they have on both sides of the ball. They

802
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 2: lose their best defensive player in Derwin James, but I

803
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:34,439
Speaker 2: am confident that this staff will energize this Florida State

804
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,919
Speaker 2: team in ways that have been lacking these past couple

805
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 2: of years. Any tips I like this, This comes to

806
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 2: us from Jesse with an Eye. You know, not Jody

807
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:43,720
Speaker 2: with an eye, but Jesse with an eye. Any tips

808
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 2: on traveling to a big game on a small budget,

809
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 2: traveling to a big game on a small budget. I

810
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 2: don't know how old this person is, and that would

811
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 2: affect my answer about willingness to sleep on couches and

812
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 2: you know, get a hotel room with four other people.

813
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 1: I think as far as food goes, at least on

814
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,720
Speaker 1: game day, you can almost always find a tailgate with food.

815
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, definitely.

816
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: You can definitely find somewhere to eat, be friendly, go up,

817
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 1: try to introduce yourself. You can definitely find a tailgate

818
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: that you can get some fre food from. So that

819
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:23,720
Speaker 1: I think is given to your point. As far as

820
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: lodging goes, I would suggest that if you are in

821
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: a really small budget that you stay a couple hours

822
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,240
Speaker 1: out of town and drive in on game day because

823
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: depends what time the game is. But yeah, depends what

824
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: time the game is. Depends on a lot of factors.

825
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: But if you can drive in and stay out of town,

826
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: that'll keep the hotel build down fair.

827
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say, get really good at buying scalp tickets.

828
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 2: You know, maybe wait until the first quarter starts. I

829
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,479
Speaker 2: don't know, that's when jen only ticket prices will come down.

830
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 2: I would yeah, I think definitely staying you don't think

831
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 2: you have to do two hours maybe you know, forty

832
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 2: five minutes an hour outside of town. Don't be afraid to, uh,

833
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 2: maybe bring a couple sleeping bags if you're driving to

834
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 2: the game, so you get four people in a two

835
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 2: bed or a one bed hotel room. I'm trying to

836
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 2: think of anything else. Tie, or you could watch the

837
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 2: game at a tailgate. You watch it not nearly as fun.

838
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 2: But if tickets are crazy, if you're going to like

839
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 2: LSU Bama, or you're going to some crazy expensive game

840
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 2: USC UCLA. Actually that's not that expensive to get in

841
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 2: there are If you can become friends with a megatailgate

842
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 2: that has a bunch of screens and smokers going, that

843
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 2: can be fun. All right, super fun. Hey, here's you're

844
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 2: going to travel you don't want to watch it at tailgate.

845
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: Here's one from Dakota. Yeah. If you were a new

846
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 1: head football coach, what would be your go to a

847
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: response when reporters ask you how spring ball was going.

848
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: Answers could include quote, we're taking it day by day,

849
00:44:55,960 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: quote looking forward to getting one percent better fo the

850
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: more literal quote this team sucks and they're damn glad.

851
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: I'm here to fix it. Do you have any answers, Dan.

852
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 2: My answer would be similar, but not as cliched. I

853
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,760
Speaker 2: would say something along the lines of, like, I barely

854
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,879
Speaker 2: know these people. I don't know how I can give

855
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 2: you any sort of expectation of what to expect based

856
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 2: on springball. Because coaches meet with players, they have such

857
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:29,800
Speaker 2: limited amounts of time during the spring before spring ball

858
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 2: that they're literally just learning about their players during springball.

859
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 2: And that if you're a new coach, you don't know

860
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 2: what this receiver is good at, you don't know what

861
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 2: this safety does, you don't know the work habits of

862
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 2: this left guard whatever, and you honestly you're learning about

863
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 2: your new staff because almost without exception, a new head

864
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 2: coach is bringing in spare not spare parts, but parts

865
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,720
Speaker 2: from different parts of the country and backgrounds and everything

866
00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 2: like that. So you're really just it's a learning process, Dan.

867
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 2: What if you instantly went on offense. What if you said, no,

868
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 2: it's going pretty well, it's definitely going better than our

869
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:16,240
Speaker 2: friends over at State. Well, then you're increasing expectations time.

870
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: Increasing expectations, But you're gonna gin up the fan base

871
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: a little bit. You're gonna get people talking about spring

872
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: ball if it's a smaller school, you're gonna get people

873
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: talking about your program. Yeah, you got to make sure

874
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: you beat State, otherwise you get fired. But history favors

875
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: the bold. My friend, I.

876
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 2: Don't care about winning in spring ty that's winning the

877
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 2: internet and that means nothing. So I'm going to say,

878
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 2: you manage those that you do Lou Holtz. Isn't that

879
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 2: what like Lou Holtz would always do, Like, I don't

880
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 2: know how we're gonna win this game. Look at those guys,

881
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 2: they're incredible. We'll be lucky if we stay within fourteen.

882
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 2: So I would say, you know, it's an overhauling process

883
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 2: and we're just taking baby steps. That's what I would do.

884
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 2: I would manage expectations and buy myself as much time

885
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 2: as humanly possible, because again, I barely know these players

886
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 2: at that at the time of spring, our.

887
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 1: New strength coach really paying dividends.

888
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 2: That's the big move. Put it on the strength coach

889
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 2: and the strength staff. That's who gets to see the

890
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 2: players all spring long.

891
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: Oh my god, there are so many cliched answers here.

892
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 1: The strength coach paying a strength coach, the defensive coordinator

893
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: with a new aggressive attacking mentality. So many things that

894
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:25,800
Speaker 1: you hear that are reguriated throughout.

895
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 2: When will and of course Ken Greeley wants to know

896
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 2: when will the twenty eighteen Solidrible T shirt be available? Ooh,

897
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,720
Speaker 2: it'll probably be The Solidrible shirt will probably be summer

898
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:38,479
Speaker 2: ish before the season. Yep.

899
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: And for those that are wondering, we do have plans

900
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: afoot to improve the ordering process.

901
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,359
Speaker 2: Yes, we do.

902
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: We have some plans that we're working on here in

903
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 1: March to make that better for you.

904
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 2: Ours was like a three step process these past couple

905
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 2: of years, and we're trying to make it a one stepper.

906
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: We're going to make it easier, I promise, I promise you.

907
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, but stay tuned because there's more on that front,

908
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:07,399
Speaker 2: perhaps sooner than that. I like this question a lot,

909
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,800
Speaker 2: and this is sort of football, sort of TV media,

910
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 2: and then we can get to this giant question to

911
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 2: finish it out. As a South Carolina fan, this comes

912
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 2: to us from bo. I ask you both to try

913
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 2: to formulate a reasonable argument that this is somehow based

914
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 2: in reality and not just off season clickbait for diehards.

915
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 2: And the attached image is from our pal Peter Burns,

916
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 2: who is on the SEC Network. He hosts a bunch

917
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 2: of stuff on there. He's great, has been in this

918
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 2: business for a long time.

919
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 1: And his quote is Tom Louganbill.

920
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:47,760
Speaker 2: It's it's secondhand, third hand. So it's Peter Burns quoting

921
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 2: Tom Louganviill on South Carolina. Tom Louganviil, of course, of ESPN,

922
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 2: And I guess the athletic I've never caps never seen

923
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 2: a will Must Champ offense like this. No, lie, you

924
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:05,280
Speaker 2: would have thought they were old school Oregon with their tempo.

925
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 1: Ooh, so.

926
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 2: Is this the most late March tweet possible? Yes, yes,

927
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 2: so basically, And I think ty you and I are

928
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 2: an agreement. If South Carolina's offense is good, that's good. Yeah,

929
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 2: that's right, it's right. That's more fun offense in college

930
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 2: football at a place that hasn't necessarily been consistent offensively

931
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 2: these past few years. And well, Must champions have not

932
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 2: necessarily would consistent on offense. But South Carolina is playing

933
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 2: against whom in March.

934
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:43,240
Speaker 1: They would be playing against themselves.

935
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 2: They would be or air or oxygen or sleds or

936
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 2: something like that. Also, playing fast does not necessarily mean

937
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 2: playing well. Playing with tempo could also mean well, they

938
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,319
Speaker 2: went three and out super quickly. They really picked up

939
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 2: the pace to just punt real quick quickly. I am

940
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 2: there are certain coaches that I give the benefit of

941
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,760
Speaker 2: the doubt offensively, like I am going to give Chad Morrison,

942
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 2: oh yeah, Frost the benefit of the doubt that they

943
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 2: are going to overhaul things on offense for their respective school.

944
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,760
Speaker 1: Will must Champ not so much in that category.

945
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 2: Dan, not necessarily both Will must Champion terms of as

946
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 2: a head coach and as somebody in charge of hiring

947
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 2: and having a vision for the.

948
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:25,840
Speaker 1: Offense right right right exactly.

949
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 2: There there have been a lot of recent stories of

950
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 2: like will Mus's champions changed again, We're rooting for it.

951
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. And look, I love Tom Logan, Bill. I

952
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:39,320
Speaker 1: think he's fantastic on the sidelines. I think he always

953
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 1: says something smart to say when he says something. This

954
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: is an anecdote, and as you said, it is absolutely

955
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: the most late March thing possible. To your point, playing

956
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,760
Speaker 1: fast does not mean you're playing well. Uh. South Carolina

957
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: was improved offensively last year over the previous season. We

958
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: can hope that they continue to improve. I just don't

959
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: put a whole lot of stock in what you see

960
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: at this stage in the game, because there are a

961
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 1: lot of March national championships that come and go and

962
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:13,959
Speaker 1: don't translate to what we actually see in the fall.

963
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 2: I have heard, ty, and this is secondhand, I have

964
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 2: heard that South Carolina has been dominating the Manning Passing Agademy.

965
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 2: They have been lights out. If you thought any of

966
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 2: the lights were on with us in South Carolina offense now,

967
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 2: I hope so. But there's a lot that goes into

968
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 2: playing successfully with tempo other than just playing quickly, and

969
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 2: so we're rooting for it. But that is the most

970
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 2: late March opinion possible, and we hope it comes to fruition.

971
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 2: But will we reference this if South Carolina falters with

972
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,399
Speaker 2: their new tempo offense. I think it's a good bet.

973
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 2: I think it's a good bet.

974
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:55,959
Speaker 1: All right. So here's the way we're going to close

975
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:01,280
Speaker 1: this out, Dan, I'm at the risk of this question

976
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:05,240
Speaker 1: becoming its own show. Let me read off the question

977
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:08,399
Speaker 1: here and then we will figure out a concise way

978
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: to answer it and perhaps bounce it out to the

979
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 1: overballerhood at large. Oh my god, Okay, loaded, he says,

980
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:20,280
Speaker 1: good afternoon, gents. In October I am planning my first

981
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: trip to America. Hmm. It'll be a solo jaunt. It's

982
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 1: going to be very self indulgent. I mean, I'll be

983
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 1: on the search for lots of food, lots of sport,

984
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 1: lots to see. I'm looking for advice more than anything

985
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 1: from you, find folks about what I should do. To

986
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 1: give you an idea of my journey, I am flying

987
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 1: to la planning to hire a car I love that,

988
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,760
Speaker 1: and drive around the country and end up in New York.

989
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 1: I will then fly I.

990
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 2: Really hope he's hiring like a personal driver to escort.

991
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: That would be awesome, but hiring a car is still

992
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:57,399
Speaker 1: an awesome way to phrase it. Available by the way, absolutely,

993
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: let's do this, buddy. I will then fly from New

994
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 1: York to Vancouver, where I'll be spending time with my

995
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 1: cousins before flying home to Australia.

996
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:05,359
Speaker 2: Great.

997
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 1: All in all, I'm planning to be there for about

998
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:11,439
Speaker 1: a month. The only real place I want Slash have

999
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: to visit is New Orleans. I'm a Saints and Pelicans

1000
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 1: fan and I want to see them play there, not

1001
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 1: to mention experience the culture that is New Orleans. So

1002
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: with that in mind, one what are the key college

1003
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,400
Speaker 1: stadiums to try and get to to see games of

1004
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 1: college football? Two? What is the best way to get

1005
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 1: cheap tickets? Is it still stub Hub or seat Geek?

1006
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 2: Three?

1007
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:39,360
Speaker 1: What are the best states for certain food? Barbecue, pizza,

1008
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 1: and random stuff? Just no seafood. I'm not a huge

1009
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 1: fan of it. Okay, I'll try it in New Orleans,

1010
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 1: but I'm not a fan of it normally. And four

1011
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 1: what is your must see quintessential totally American thing that

1012
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 1: I have to see and do? This? As we indicate,

1013
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 1: it could be its own show. Correct, This is a

1014
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: question of coming to America? What what do I do

1015
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:04,319
Speaker 1: when I get here? Let's keep it college football here.

1016
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: What are the stadiums if you're going to go and

1017
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:08,839
Speaker 1: drive around the country, if you're going to go out

1018
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 1: of your way after you hire the car to go

1019
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: and see anyone stadium, whether there's a game going on

1020
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: or not, what stadium would that be?

1021
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 2: Well, if he's going to be in New Orleans, just

1022
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 2: shoot up to Baton Rouge and go to Death Valley.

1023
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 2: That's a no brainer.

1024
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: I agree.

1025
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 2: I don't know what his exact timing will be, but

1026
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 2: it sounds like he's pretty flexible. I would go to

1027
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 2: LSU and I would get in touch with the great

1028
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 2: people of and the Valley Shook, the Podcat and Dan

1029
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 2: Davis and all those people, and it's a Jake Nazar

1030
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:40,720
Speaker 2: and eat as much Cajun food at a tailgate as possible.

1031
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 2: And hopefully it's for a big LSU game. I don't

1032
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,760
Speaker 2: have the LSU schedule in front of me, but hopefully

1033
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:48,879
Speaker 2: a big SEC night game that'd be preferable. Otherwise, if

1034
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 2: he's starting in La, I mean go to USC game,

1035
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 2: I would say go to either. I mean you go

1036
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:56,320
Speaker 2: to ut I think Texas, A and M would probably

1037
00:54:56,320 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 2: be more fun in a different and a unique Oklahoma

1038
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 2: would be really fun in Norman, uh, Stillwater would give

1039
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 2: you a good experience of what it's like to go

1040
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 2: to a very small, college centric town. If you're going

1041
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 2: to be going through Oklahoma, I think Colorado just in

1042
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 2: terms of seeing an awesome town and an awesome stadium,

1043
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 2: and just a geographically, because my recommendation would be to

1044
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 2: like hit as many of the National parks along the

1045
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,920
Speaker 2: southwest Midwest. There's not a lot of Midwest National parks,

1046
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:32,879
Speaker 2: but you know, go to Utah, go to the Grand

1047
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 2: the Grand Canyon.

1048
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 1: You got to go to the Grand Canyon.

1049
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,439
Speaker 2: I would say, hit as many of you know, the

1050
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 2: Purple Mountains, majesty, the Amber waves of grain that your

1051
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 2: path has to offer. Wegmans in Allentown obviously is just

1052
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:50,280
Speaker 2: the center of culture as we know it in America.

1053
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:55,400
Speaker 2: Best states for food California and Texas to me are

1054
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 2: pretty unbeatable. But if you're going to New Orleans, then

1055
00:55:58,200 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 2: load up. Don't if you don't like seafood, don't get

1056
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 2: see food will get you know, a roast beef po boy,

1057
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 2: get fried chicken at Willie May's Scotch House. Go to

1058
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,439
Speaker 2: Koshan Butcher for sandwiches. You can't go wrong in New Orleans.

1059
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 2: There's also I would go to eat. It does a

1060
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 2: good job with city guides for food and eating. But

1061
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 2: if you need taco help in the Southwest, just get

1062
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:21,919
Speaker 2: at us continually and I will help you out. Yeah,

1063
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 2: the West Coast is good for pizza, barbecue. You can

1064
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 2: do well, and you can do probably unbeatable in Texas.

1065
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 2: To me, if you go to Austin, you'll have a

1066
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 2: great time eating barbecue and tacos and such. But I

1067
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 2: would I would say hit national parks, national parks. So

1068
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:37,920
Speaker 2: here's a take in the beauty. Here's what we're going

1069
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 2: to do. Is there a million answers to this question.

1070
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 2: What we're going to do is we're going to throw

1071
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,600
Speaker 2: a challenge out there because we have so many red

1072
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:50,280
Speaker 2: blooded Americans who listen to this program. He's from Australia.

1073
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if you mentioned that he.

1074
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 1: Is from Australia. Yes, yeah, make Google maps for us,

1075
00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 1: Make Google maps, tweet them in at solid verbal mm hmmm,

1076
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 1: and Josh from Australia. Check our Twitter account, check to

1077
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 1: see what's coming in. We'll do our best to try

1078
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 1: and get those out to you because my senses, there

1079
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,399
Speaker 1: are a million different opinions here and the best way

1080
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 1: to get it into some actionable format for you is

1081
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: to get it on a Google map. So for anyone

1082
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 1: out there, make some Google maps, send them on in.

1083
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: We'll make sure Josh gets him. He can pick from

1084
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: his favorites.

1085
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 2: And he's from Adelaide. I believe that's where Layton Hugh

1086
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 2: it is from. Okay, you the southern part of Australia. Yeah,

1087
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 2: I'm just these are fun facts, ty, We're talking fun

1088
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 2: facts about America. Yeah, I'm trying to think anything else.

1089
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 2: What I would I mean, listen to a bunch of podcasts. Obviously,

1090
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 2: as you drive, stop off if you see something pretty

1091
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 2: alongside the road, have view a mountain, a waterfall, or something.

1092
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 2: Take a second. Life moves quickly, ty slow down.

1093
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 1: That's what I was with you, brother. All right. One

1094
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 1: final note here, Yes, if Villanova wins the national championship,

1095
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: mom H will win our basketball pool, the solid verbal one,

1096
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 1: the solid verbal one with hundreds of entries.

1097
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 2: I think Jody with and I has murdered both me

1098
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 2: and my parents.

1099
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: Literally are in the context of the pool.

1100
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:19,280
Speaker 2: In the context of the pool. I'm looking right now,

1101
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 2: who's at the top.

1102
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: At the top, I think we've got our old friend Pete,

1103
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 1: so right.

1104
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 2: Now, Okay, Jody with and I has Michigan, as does

1105
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 2: Mama Rubinstein. I am in the thirteenth percent. Arizona was

1106
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 2: my national champ. Jody with and I has Michigan. I'm

1107
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 2: going I'm going to be in Chicago for the Final

1108
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 2: four game with Michigan playing Loyola of Chicago. Uh oh,

1109
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 2: so that's gonna be a total mess. I'm excited.

1110
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 1: All right, Well, mom H wins If Villanova wins, which

1111
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 1: you'll triumphun like any other here on the podcast.

1112
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 2: How do people feel about Villanova in Pennsylvania? Is it

1113
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 2: sort of like a pretty boy thing?

1114
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: It is?

1115
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:59,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that's what And it's not technically in phil

1116
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 2: it's just outside of film.

1117
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: And ard more. Yeah, Okay, beautiful campus. I've been there

1118
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 1: countless times. You know, anybody that went there, tons of

1119
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 1: people that went to Villanova. Okay, all the people I

1120
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 1: know are very, very nice. But it does have a

1121
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 1: bit of a stigma.

1122
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I want to say doctor Jane's husband went

1123
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 2: to Villanova. I believe that's true. That's I think my

1124
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:20,440

1141
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 2: Yes, and to close things out, Tie, just because he's

1142
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:12,919
Speaker 2: asked this question twice and I think it's it comes

1143
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 2: from a good place. Travis asked if Benny Snell is

1144
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 2: the best college football running back. I don't believe that's true.

1145
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:24,360
Speaker 2: Mark Schnell, Marchschnell great games, Tennessee All miss last year.

1146
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 2: He was ejected the Music City Bowl. But Bryce Love

1147
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 2: and Jonathan Taylor tailback and Harris ranch Over at Alabama

1148
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 2: and JK. Dobbins Miles Gaskin all exist. So he's in

1149
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 2: that group. He's in the like maybe not the eight tier,

1150
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,360
Speaker 2: but I think he is in of college footballs. If

1151
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 2: you're talking about a good year of college football running backs,

1152
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 2: you have to include Benny Snell in that conversation. How

1153
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 2: about that?

1154
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 1: That sounds like a good way to close out the show.

1155
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 1: Dan done for that, go of there, Dan Rubinstein in
