<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Solid Verbal. Come that for me.

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:54.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm a man, I'm for I've heard so many players say, well,

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 2>I want to be happy. You want to be happy

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 2>for day at the steak?

0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Is that woo woom and down and tie. Welcome back

0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:06.560
<v Speaker 1>to the Solid Burbo boys and girls. My name is

0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:10.319
<v Speaker 1>Ty hilden Brand, joining me again. He came back, Dan.

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 2>Rubinstein, Sir, can't get enough tie. How's it going? You

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 2>know it's pretty good? Ty, that's a lie. I was

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.520
<v Speaker 2>in Los Angeles and it was nice and warm and sunny,

0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 2>and I was hanging out Santa Monica and Venice and

0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 2>just eating great Mexican food and living my best life.

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.520
<v Speaker 2>And now I'm back in New York and in a room. Ty,

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.040
<v Speaker 2>if you could see my setup?

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for first question here of this Q and A show.

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:35.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I just moved.

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:37.559
<v Speaker 1>I know that you moved. You talked about it on

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>one of our previous shows that you moved. Right, What

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 1>is your new recording setup now?

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 2>So Jody with and I and I moved to just

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 2>like down the block. It's still in Brooklyn, but as

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 2>we speak right now, most of our apartment is all

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 2>set and ready to go. We need to roll out.

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 2>I think we're getting a couple of rugs clean because

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 2>you got to have sort of soft floors in New

0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 2>York so people aren't stomping around all over the place. Well,

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 2>my current setup, in this tiny little room we have,

0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 2>I have just crap everywhere. I have a bag of

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 2>shoes at guitar case, a box full of paper towels.

0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 2>I am speaking directly into a coat closet like I'm

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 2>staying two feet in front. There's a tiny bookshelf and

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 2>on top of that a laundry hamper, and on top

0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 2>of that a towel, so at least deadens some of

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.960
<v Speaker 2>the sound as I speak into my microphone which is

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 2>next to my laptop. So it is a DIY garbage setup.

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:32.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean literally there is garbage. I am surrounded garbage,

0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:36.119
<v Speaker 2>and hopefully the show is slightly better than being surrounded

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.080
<v Speaker 2>by garbage because we're doing what we're doing. Q and

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 2>A Today, Q and A Today. Yeah, Yes, boonus. So

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:47.560
<v Speaker 2>I on let's say, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and I guess

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 2>via email, ask questions about or ask people to ask

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 2>questions about spring football season, hypotheticals, college football TV issues,

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 2>reasonable expectations, unreasonable expectations, and literally whatever else. And we

0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:06.640
<v Speaker 2>got a ton of really really strong questions.

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Ty, we did absolutely so again, if you are new

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.360
<v Speaker 1>to the show, we've been trying to tell as many

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 1>folks as we can this offseason about what we're doing here.

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Bring as many under the tent as humanly possible. We

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.079
<v Speaker 1>are the Solid Verbal I'm Ty, He's Dan. You can

<v Speaker 1>out there. We've even got a subreddit at reddit dot

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 1>com slash our slash solid Verbal, where our fans have

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 1>congregated all throughout the last year or so to talk

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 1>about what we talk about here on the program and

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 1>what we like to do once a month, I guess

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:56.960
<v Speaker 1>this month where technically do it? Doing it once?

0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Do it as often as we want? Ty who cares?

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:01.680
<v Speaker 1>It is our show, but we like to take questions

0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:05.320
<v Speaker 1>from the verbaler hood, read them aloud, and try to

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 1>provide insight wherever possible. Sometimes that insight is better than others.

0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 1>My sense is that we're both shot out of a

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 1>canon today.

0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm ready to go.

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I hear it in your voice that we're we're shot

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.599
<v Speaker 1>out of a cannon here, and I'm feeling the same.

0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.120
<v Speaker 1>So should we get to our first question? I think

0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 1>we should get to our first question? Okay, where we're going.

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Let's go with John. Lots of people talk about which

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:31.000
<v Speaker 2>fan base has the most unrealistic expectations, the Nebraska corn Huskers.

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm just I'm excited to see Nebraska. But nobody ever

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:39.640
<v Speaker 2>discusses that was my editor orzation. Nobody discusses reasonable fan bases.

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.159
<v Speaker 2>From your experience, which fan base has the most reasonable

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:47.360
<v Speaker 2>expectation and healthiest relationship with their team? And as I'm

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.920
<v Speaker 2>reading this question, I can only think about the time

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 2>when I was at SI, and I guess you were

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 2>at SI at this time as well. When I was

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 2>invited to the SI swimsuit party in Las Vegas. Let

0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 2>me tell you something, Ti, My expectations were very recent.

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:04.159
<v Speaker 2>I went to that party. In my expectation was I'm

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 2>gonna I'm gonna get a good, good drink or two,

0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna dance a little bit, and I'm gonna take

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 2>pictures with West Coast or West Coast with camera guy Dave,

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.479
<v Speaker 2>who I brought along with me and watched a rash

0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 2>Markazi dance. That was my expectation, and it all came true.

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:21.839
<v Speaker 1>Does it feel to you that the only true correct answer,

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:25.359
<v Speaker 1>the one true champion of this question has sort of

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 1>always been Illinois football.

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I don't know about that.

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:30.120
<v Speaker 1>It's always an Illinois football.

0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, yes, I'm going to posit this as reasonable expectations

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:40.840
<v Speaker 2>of being acceptable acceptable okay, because I think there is

0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:44.440
<v Speaker 2>an element of you know, Chicago's not a high school

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:48.760
<v Speaker 2>football hotbed, but Illinois has I wouldn't say recent or

0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.240
<v Speaker 2>modern history of success, but they should be able to

0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 2>recruit better. And they actually I've been paying a little

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 2>bit of attention to recruiting thus far because of our

0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:58.880
<v Speaker 2>pal Scott Eli and I fan Scott. I think they

0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:00.680
<v Speaker 2>just got a five star athlete out of Saint Louis

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 2>who might play quarterback, and so they're doing a little

0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:04.760
<v Speaker 2>bit better. But Texas.

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:06.800
<v Speaker 1>My point is, you know, I remember we talked to

0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Robert from alioni dot com. We talked to our friend

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:16.080
<v Speaker 1>will Leach. Certainly, we've talked to line eye fans, Scott like.

0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.120
<v Speaker 1>They all seem to have a very healthy relationship with

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>the team. They want the team to do well, but

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.039
<v Speaker 1>if it doesn't, they almost have a license to go

0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 1>out and explore other teams. It's a very open relationship

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 1>with their college football team.

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would, I would flip it and tweak it

0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. Like, I don't think Illinois fans have

0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:37.440
<v Speaker 2>any expectations exactly, So let's move to like who has

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:42.880
<v Speaker 2>an acceptable level of positive expectations and for that path.

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.440
<v Speaker 2>I would say people who have the most data about

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:52.000
<v Speaker 2>their coach, so people who have experience with a longer

0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:59.280
<v Speaker 2>tenured coach. And so the check marks I have are Northwestern, Okay, Stanford, Iowa,

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Kansas State, and Navy. In terms of bigger programs, who

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, maybe Georgia Tech, but that's just it's so

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.080
<v Speaker 2>up and down with Georgia Tech. And I think there's

0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 2>a certain amount of frustration given what Georgia Tech's ceiling

0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:19.240
<v Speaker 2>should be, given its location, and you can attract academically

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 2>really good kids. Perhaps that otherwise going to places like

0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Duke or Stanford or Notre Dame or Vanderbilt whatever. I

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 2>think that list is where I'm probably going to stuck TCU.

0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I think there's an expectation I considered TCU.

0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:40.160
<v Speaker 1>I first off, I think everyone in the SEC is out. Yes,

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 1>everyone in the SEC is out.

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 2>Maybe other than Vandy, I think there's not much in

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:45.960
<v Speaker 2>terms of expectations there.

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:51.920
<v Speaker 1>There are fan bases that have tasted success, and when

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 1>they do, they tend to lust for more. And that's

0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.560
<v Speaker 1>true in nearly every case. Right. What we're trying to

0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:02.320
<v Speaker 1>find here are are examples of the few fan bases

0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:04.280
<v Speaker 1>that don't seem to get out of hand. And I

0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.240
<v Speaker 1>do think the coaching element factors in one that you

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.600
<v Speaker 1>forgot is Michigan State. I think Michigan State probably falls

0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:14.720
<v Speaker 1>into that category two. But Northwestern Stanford Navy, you said Iowa.

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 1>I had k State down on my list as well.

0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:21.360
<v Speaker 1>These are teams that by and large are very confident

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.520
<v Speaker 1>in the coach that they have and have seen their

0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 1>coaches spin gold out of what was deemed by others

0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.560
<v Speaker 1>to not be the deepest of talent pools, and so

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.600
<v Speaker 1>that earns them a lot of credibility that earns them

0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 1>a longer leash, and I think in most cases it

0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:41.760
<v Speaker 1>leads to fan bases that aren't prone to unreasonable expectations.

0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think all of those coaches. I think the

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:47.560
<v Speaker 2>common thread with what Pat Fitzgerald, David Shaq, Kirk Farence,

0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Bill Snyder, Kenny Mandalolo is that the fan bases have

0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:54.200
<v Speaker 2>made peace with who they are, which are all good coaches,

0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.200
<v Speaker 2>and that they will win more games that they should

0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.679
<v Speaker 2>or many more games that they should than otherwise. And

0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.200
<v Speaker 2>that's that's a pretty good place. If not, you know,

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 2>you can get bored. And maybe we'll talk about this

0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:08.800
<v Speaker 2>with USC and I have a comparison for Clay Helton's

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 2>being nothing but successful, but there is that boredom element.

0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.600
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think there is that expectation of blue

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.560
<v Speaker 2>blood for any of those schools. So Matt, I think

0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:20.640
<v Speaker 2>they're in good places.

0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, good answer, good question, Thank you, John. Where we

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 1>going next? Next?

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Let's go. This is a question from Reddit from rock

0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Leg rock Leg, whatever rock Leg is, which cellar dweller

0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Power five program is least deserving of a meteorc rise

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.160
<v Speaker 2>to the top of the conference and as a bonus,

0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:39.960
<v Speaker 2>which long suffering fan base is least deserving of playoff glory.

0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:43.199
<v Speaker 2>So I'm man, that's tough, but I can answer the

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.640
<v Speaker 2>first one, okay, which I imagine you can as well.

0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:47.680
<v Speaker 2>And I'm going to answer this in terms of a

0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:52.280
<v Speaker 2>faction because it's hard to paint even though that's, you know,

0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 2>the fun part of being fun about college football, but

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.160
<v Speaker 2>it's hard to paint a fan base as a complete

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 2>homogenistic whatever or society that there everybody is the same.

0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:05.960
<v Speaker 2>But I would say if there's any faction of a

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 2>fan base that has traditionally been pretty low, although they've

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:13.000
<v Speaker 2>been a little bit higher lately, but traditionally been low

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.640
<v Speaker 2>and would be very happy to see them miserable forever.

0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Would be that Art Brill's shirt selling and buying faction

0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:23.720
<v Speaker 2>of the Baylor fan base when everything was going down.

0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:28.960
<v Speaker 2>I'd be happy if Baylor was firmly entrenched, not because

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:35.080
<v Speaker 2>of reasonable, nice, kind, you know, supportive, pragmatic Baylor fans,

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 2>but if there's any faction of a fan base that

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.280
<v Speaker 2>would make me happy to see them miserable forever, it'd

0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 2>probably be that group of Baylor fans and maybe some

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Joe pot Truthers and Penn State.

0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:48.640
<v Speaker 1>I was going to bring up the Joe Podruthers. I

0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:54.000
<v Speaker 1>think there's okay, there's definitely something there. I'm not going

0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.720
<v Speaker 1>to directly answer this question from rock Leg. Did you

0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:01.880
<v Speaker 1>say rock Leg WBZR clag. Yeah, he did pose a

0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:05.360
<v Speaker 1>bonus question, which long suffering fan base is least deserving

0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:06.319
<v Speaker 1>of playoff glory?

0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:08.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:09.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm a Notre Dame fan.

0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Uh huh. I like where you're going.

0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:15.599
<v Speaker 1>It's well known on this program and throughout the interwebs

0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.440
<v Speaker 1>that I am a college football fan for the University

0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.640
<v Speaker 1>of Notre Dame in addition to Penn State, my alma mater,

0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:22.960
<v Speaker 1>but by and large I've been a Notre Dame fan

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.800
<v Speaker 1>my entire life. You can make a really strong case

0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 1>here that the Notre Dame fan base, the holier than

0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:33.280
<v Speaker 1>thou sort of entitled section of the Notre Dame fan base,

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 1>is qualified to be the answer here.

0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.040
<v Speaker 2>The good news is so many of them don't have

0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:43.959
<v Speaker 2>the Internet, so their reaction not saying all.

0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying. I'm not saying. Most of the people

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:49.000
<v Speaker 1>that I have the good fortune of dealing with, most

0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.560
<v Speaker 1>people I think have their head in the right place.

0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:55.440
<v Speaker 1>But there is a very very small minority of the

0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame fan base that fits that mold, a little

0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:03.080
<v Speaker 1>holier than thou, little entitled, and I think it is

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.320
<v Speaker 1>that group that gives Notre Dame fans as a whole

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 1>a bad.

0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:10.559
<v Speaker 2>Name non football, which I think this is a phenomenal question, ty,

0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:12.240
<v Speaker 2>and this goes to the heart of who we are

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:15.640
<v Speaker 2>truly as people. Which of your friend's hobbies are you

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.720
<v Speaker 2>awful at? If Dan goes to hang out at someone's

0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:20.679
<v Speaker 2>place and gets handed to controller to play Madden, who

0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.120
<v Speaker 2>hold his own? First? Of all? The answer is yes,

0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.840
<v Speaker 2>I am totally decent and acceptable, if not pretty good.

0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes at football video games, mainly in C DOUBLEA, but

0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:30.600
<v Speaker 2>certainly Madden.

0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Have you, by the way, have you tried the latest Madden? No,

0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:37.199
<v Speaker 1>It's impossible, is it really? I used to be so

0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:41.960
<v Speaker 1>good at the previous renditions of Madden, and in so

0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:45.120
<v Speaker 1>much harder. It's just different. I don't know. There are

0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.120
<v Speaker 1>various controls now to like jump up and catch the ball.

0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.439
<v Speaker 1>It seems like you can't. You can't run the ten

0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:55.840
<v Speaker 1>yard out route every time anymore and get a first down,

0:12:56.160 --> 0:13:01.760
<v Speaker 1>like without even trying. They've just made everything. And after

0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.000
<v Speaker 1>years away from playing the game, I decided I'd pick

0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 1>it up when it was on sale and let me

0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:08.880
<v Speaker 1>tell you, woo woo. Not good.

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:13.280
<v Speaker 2>Not good. So here's where I'm currently at video game wise,

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.840
<v Speaker 2>before I answer this question. There has not been an

0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:19.839
<v Speaker 2>NCAA release in five years, four years something like that.

0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:21.880
<v Speaker 2>I think the last one was NCAA fourteen, which would

0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:25.240
<v Speaker 2>have come out in twenty thirteen, right, yep, summer of

0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 2>twenty thirteen, so it's almost going on five years. I

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:33.400
<v Speaker 2>am at the point where I have interest in video games,

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.480
<v Speaker 2>but I don't want to shoot people and I don't

0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:39.760
<v Speaker 2>want to learn advanced football controls for Madden, and I

0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.400
<v Speaker 2>don't really care about the NFL that much. And I'm

0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:45.040
<v Speaker 2>i bawling a Nintendo Switch and playing Mario with the

0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:49.240
<v Speaker 2>rest of my days, like I never have. That's super

0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:51.480
<v Speaker 2>attractive to me. I have both the switch and the

0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 2>PS four. Is that true?

0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:53.920
<v Speaker 1>It is true?

0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:54.720
<v Speaker 2>How's the switch?

0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:56.280
<v Speaker 1>This switch is fantastic.

0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:57.320
<v Speaker 2>What do you play?

0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm mostly into Mario Kart. I played a little bit

0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:04.800
<v Speaker 1>of the Zelda game mm hmmm, which is pretty cool.

0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Solid wise, Kate got into Yeah, into the Zelda game.

0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:09.280
<v Speaker 2>Are you playing it on the screen or are you

0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:12.680
<v Speaker 2>playing a handheld? Mostly on the screen? Okay, mostly on

0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:14.400
<v Speaker 2>the screen, but Mario.

0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Kart still brings it. Still my favorite game by far

0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:22.680
<v Speaker 1>in the Nintendo universe interest and as far as PS

0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:28.080
<v Speaker 1>four goes, I have dabbled with a couple of the

0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.920
<v Speaker 1>sports games that are out there. The best one remains

0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:34.120
<v Speaker 1>a soccer game, FIFA FIFA. But you have to put

0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 1>in some time, right, Yeah, I'm awful at it. Yeah,

0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm awful at it, and so I've resorted to playing

0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 1>on a lower difficulty, beating teams by eight goals and

0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:42.640
<v Speaker 1>just enjoying myself.

0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 2>My broader answer to this question one golf. I'm not

0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 2>awful at golf. I'm awful at wanting to play golf.

0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:53.200
<v Speaker 2>I grew up playing. I went to you know, I

0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.240
<v Speaker 2>learned how to play like. I love going to driving ranges.

0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.800
<v Speaker 2>I've never been to. It's it called top top golf.

0:14:58.800 --> 0:14:59.400
<v Speaker 1>That's a good time.

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:02.280
<v Speaker 2>Have you been been? I've never been. It looks like

0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 2>a great time because it looks like you just hit

0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.080
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of golf balls and drink beer and eat

0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:09.040
<v Speaker 2>tater tots. That's my zone. It's pretty much that is

0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:11.400
<v Speaker 2>that is my zone. I would love to do that.

0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:14.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm totally fine at golf. I mean, i'd probably shoot

0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.440
<v Speaker 2>a hundred or something like that, but I don't I

0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:19.320
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't look like a spas. I just don't want to

0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:23.120
<v Speaker 2>dedicate four and a half hours like that. That to

0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:26.040
<v Speaker 2>me is sort of miserable. I'd rather just play sports,

0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.920
<v Speaker 2>you know. I'd rather go for a run or play basketball.

0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:31.880
<v Speaker 2>I've only gone paintballing once and I'd probably be really

0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:37.000
<v Speaker 2>bad at that. And my final answer drinking. Not a

0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.920
<v Speaker 2>great drinker, tie and I guess cocaine. I don't know

0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:43.040
<v Speaker 2>if any of my friends are coke heads, but since

0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:46.680
<v Speaker 2>I have never partaken, I'd be pretty bad at cocaine.

0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I think that that's my answer. Yeah, I'm I'm

0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:56.840
<v Speaker 1>pretty awful at actually your hobby, which is going out

0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 1>and trying different kinds of foods.

0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh, come on, it's the easy, it's the most fun

0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:04.160
<v Speaker 2>thing it is. But I'm I'm just not you're setting

0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.480
<v Speaker 2>your ways, not that into it. Yeah, I'm setting my

0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:10.080
<v Speaker 2>ways so much like you. The idea of golf, the

0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:14.520
<v Speaker 2>idea of dedicating time to whatever. I kind of feel

0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:17.320
<v Speaker 2>the same way about different kinds of foods. I am

0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:21.360
<v Speaker 2>going again to Mexico City in a couple months, and

0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:25.600
<v Speaker 2>my day is this wake up, maybe work out. It's

0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.080
<v Speaker 2>sort of like cors Field because it's like seven thousand

0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.920
<v Speaker 2>feet up, so gotta be careful not exert myself too

0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:33.720
<v Speaker 2>much and just walk and eat all day. And it

0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:35.960
<v Speaker 2>is the greatest tie. We got to get you down

0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:37.480
<v Speaker 2>in Mexico City and get you some non.

0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Do our live shown in Mexico.

0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, at Azteca before the Lehi Colgate game

0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:49.840
<v Speaker 2>of course. Okay, next question, let's go to Oh here's

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.440
<v Speaker 2>a good one, duck caught upstream. This is also from Reddit.

0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.160
<v Speaker 2>Two good questions after a down year last year, how

0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.000
<v Speaker 2>many Pac twelve teams do you think are good enough

0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.720
<v Speaker 2>to be in realistic contention for a college football playoff

0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:05.760
<v Speaker 2>spot when November rolls around. The most accurate answer I

0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:10.800
<v Speaker 2>could come up with was like a half a half

0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:13.520
<v Speaker 2>of a team. I don't know what your answer is,

0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:15.960
<v Speaker 2>but I'm going to run through some pertinent information to

0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:17.240
<v Speaker 2>hopefully help your answers.

0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.679
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean the first answer is Arizona State, right.

0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely absolutely, as I well, nobody in the South. Yeah,

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:30.640
<v Speaker 2>that's I don't think that's fully true. The USC schedule

0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:34.840
<v Speaker 2>is pretty good with a new quarterback with a new quelt.

0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.520
<v Speaker 2>See that's the thing. So they have what it's Matt Fink,

0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:40.400
<v Speaker 2>Jack Sears and JT. Daniels' incoming, So they don't have

0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:43.680
<v Speaker 2>that blue chip, known quantity quarterback like they had last

0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:48.199
<v Speaker 2>year with sort of a screwy schedule. But USC's defense,

0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:50.760
<v Speaker 2>especially their secondary, is in pretty good shape. The linebacking

0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:52.960
<v Speaker 2>course pretty good. I know they they lose what Rashim

0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Green and Wosu on the on the line, so there's

0:17:56.480 --> 0:18:00.600
<v Speaker 2>some rebuilding there. But offensive skill wise, I liked Tyler Vaughds.

0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:04.040
<v Speaker 2>The offensive line is somewhat intact, Stephen Carr should step

0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:07.240
<v Speaker 2>into a pretty big role in the backfield. Schedule wise,

0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:11.040
<v Speaker 2>it's pretty good. So they're at Stanford and at Texas

0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:16.560
<v Speaker 2>early on consecutively, and that's tough. But Stanford is outside

0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:20.960
<v Speaker 2>of Bryce Love. I'm not sure what really truly scares

0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:23.840
<v Speaker 2>me about Stanford this year. Texas will see what their

0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.879
<v Speaker 2>offense looks like. Defensively, they're in great shape, but you know,

0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.000
<v Speaker 2>USC is coming off of a win there. They go

0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:31.320
<v Speaker 2>to Utah, but they have Notre Dame at home after

0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:34.800
<v Speaker 2>the UCLA game, and miss Oregon and Washington from the north.

0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:38.560
<v Speaker 2>So all things considered, I'd say that's pretty solid, right.

0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:40.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, No, I mean the schedule's fun. I just you

0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:44.879
<v Speaker 1>lose Sam Darnold. Yeah, it's tough to be what I

0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:47.280
<v Speaker 1>would answer here a legitimate playoff threat.

0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.000
<v Speaker 2>But they maintain their coaching staff, which I think is

0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:53.720
<v Speaker 2>pretty enormous. Tim Martin is back after some flirtation, I guess,

0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:59.119
<v Speaker 2>so I'm I'm pretty good with USC, just in terms

0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:03.320
<v Speaker 2>of what their actual season looks like. Quickly, Stanford's schedule

0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:05.680
<v Speaker 2>is super tough. They're at Oregon, at Notre Dame, at

0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Utah consecutively and then at Utah's consecutive with Wazoo. Excuse me,

0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:18.719
<v Speaker 2>but Washington is on the road at UCLA to end

0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:22.680
<v Speaker 2>the season, and that's just and that's after going to

0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:24.560
<v Speaker 2>Cal for a rivalry game, so that's sort of a

0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:27.960
<v Speaker 2>screwy way to end things. Oregon has a non conference

0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:32.720
<v Speaker 2>garbage or excuse me, Oregon's non conference schedule is garbage.

0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:39.320
<v Speaker 2>Important clarification, important clarification. They don't have USC, as mentioned,

0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:42.240
<v Speaker 2>they have Stanford, Washington, Ucla all at home with Washington

0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:45.320
<v Speaker 2>after a buye. So Oregon is a good contender for

0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:48.760
<v Speaker 2>and I've mentioned this before, schedules better than they actually are.

0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:50.919
<v Speaker 2>But if Justin Herbert is able to stay healthy, they

0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:52.840
<v Speaker 2>should be able to take another step forward on defense.

0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Washington opens the season in Atlanta against Auburn. They go

0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:01.320
<v Speaker 2>to Utah to UCLA and Ucla and Oregon are on

0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:03.720
<v Speaker 2>the road consecutively, and they have no bye week until

0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:07.879
<v Speaker 2>November tenth, and a short week rivalry game on a

0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:11.600
<v Speaker 2>Friday on the road at Wazoo, which obviously Chris Peterson

0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:14.240
<v Speaker 2>owns Mike Leach. But we saw it last year when

0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:16.560
<v Speaker 2>you have that short week road game with USC going

0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:20.760
<v Speaker 2>to Wazoo ended up being pretty brutal for the Trojans.

0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:26.040
<v Speaker 2>So man schedule seems fine because Washington misses USC Arizona,

0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:27.000
<v Speaker 2>my answer.

0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Was going to be either Washington or Stanford.

0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:32.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would put my money on Washington, even with

0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:34.639
<v Speaker 2>the losses up front. On defense, they sell Greg Gains

0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:37.240
<v Speaker 2>that secondary should be filthy. I love Taylor Rapp.

0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:40.520
<v Speaker 1>I think the answer is Washington and or Stanford. So

0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:46.920
<v Speaker 1>the question what legitimate legitimate playoff teams realistically good enough

0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:50.119
<v Speaker 1>to be in the College Football Playoff come November.

0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:51.400
<v Speaker 2>I'd say one and a half is probably my.

0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:53.320
<v Speaker 1>One and a half I think is a good line.

0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:54.679
<v Speaker 1>I'll go with one.

0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Should also mention just because Arizona has the best quarterback

0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:01.439
<v Speaker 2>in the South in Khalil Tates go to Houston in

0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:04.560
<v Speaker 2>the non conference schedule, and they do have that dreaded

0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:08.800
<v Speaker 2>PAC twelve short week road game at Utah altitude. I'm

0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:11.560
<v Speaker 2>almost in the way that we last season said the

0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:14.560
<v Speaker 2>USC short week at Wazoo on a Friday night shout

0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:18.000
<v Speaker 2>out Adam Ameme, that's man. Circle that game as like

0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:21.119
<v Speaker 2>the biggest trip up totally. I would if Arizona is

0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:24.240
<v Speaker 2>good under Kevin someone this year, I would circle that

0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Utah game on the road the short week. That's rough.

0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Definitely, definitely all right, good question, but yeah, let's go

0:21:30.320 --> 0:21:33.479
<v Speaker 1>one and a half Washington and Stanford as our official

0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:37.719

<v Speaker 2>Let's go to Dan, who has a good college football

0:24:50.640 --> 0:24:55.560
<v Speaker 2>TV question. Dan clob clob a car clob Ashar Club Ashar.

0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:56.120
<v Speaker 1>That's right.

0:24:56.520 --> 0:24:59.720
<v Speaker 2>So many games being broadcast, you know, across so many channels,

0:24:59.760 --> 0:25:02.440
<v Speaker 2>com ference networks, whatever. It really seems like there is

0:25:02.480 --> 0:25:05.400
<v Speaker 2>a shortage of quality announcing teams. I don't know if

0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:07.960
<v Speaker 2>I agree with that, but whatever, What kind of gimmick

0:25:07.960 --> 0:25:11.800
<v Speaker 2>color commentator would you like to see? Comedian actor dog Dog?

0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:14.040
<v Speaker 1>The dog would be interesting? I'll give him none of

0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:14.440
<v Speaker 1>the above.

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So here is I have both a serious and yeah,

0:25:18.000 --> 0:25:21.800
<v Speaker 2>I have very indulgent answer, indulging not for us, but

0:25:21.920 --> 0:25:25.080
<v Speaker 2>indulgent for his question. So the serious answer is it's

0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:27.600
<v Speaker 2>sort of disrespectful to put a dog on a game

0:25:28.000 --> 0:25:30.680
<v Speaker 2>to the two fan bases who are watching this game

0:25:30.720 --> 0:25:33.760
<v Speaker 2>and care about you know, if if ESPNU has Wake

0:25:34.400 --> 0:25:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Syracuse or USF Temple or something like that, and it's

0:25:39.080 --> 0:25:41.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, if it's our pal adam Ameme with

0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:45.680
<v Speaker 2>a German shepherd, that's not great. That means we don't

0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:47.920
<v Speaker 2>take your game and your efforts and the history of

0:25:47.960 --> 0:25:51.080
<v Speaker 2>your fandom all that seriously. I mean, it depends on

0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:53.920
<v Speaker 2>the dog. It's true, there are a lot of good dogs.

0:25:53.920 --> 0:25:54.960
<v Speaker 2>There are a lot of good dogs.

0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:59.360
<v Speaker 1>In the animal act typically on broadcast, television, broadcast anything

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:01.959
<v Speaker 1>has really been a success. So I don't know if

0:26:02.000 --> 0:26:06.200
<v Speaker 1>that's entirely true, but I do hear your point correct.

0:26:06.640 --> 0:26:09.480
<v Speaker 2>I would say that if you are looking to shake

0:26:09.560 --> 0:26:13.199
<v Speaker 2>things up and draw attention to, like you know, a

0:26:13.240 --> 0:26:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Big ten spillover game on the Big ten network on

0:26:16.040 --> 0:26:19.639
<v Speaker 2>Big ten two or something like that, or draw attention

0:26:19.720 --> 0:26:23.040
<v Speaker 2>to I think stadium is now a thing, the Stadium network,

0:26:23.040 --> 0:26:26.280
<v Speaker 2>which I think broadcast game on Facebook, so always probably

0:26:26.280 --> 0:26:28.600
<v Speaker 2>looking for. I think gimmick is too.

0:26:28.800 --> 0:26:31.399
<v Speaker 1>You're going to steal an answer here, aren't you. I

0:26:31.400 --> 0:26:33.159
<v Speaker 1>don't think you're going to steal my answer. I know what,

0:26:33.240 --> 0:26:33.800
<v Speaker 1>I can feel it.

0:26:33.840 --> 0:26:36.760
<v Speaker 2>I will you know what, ty, I will give you

0:26:36.760 --> 0:26:38.040
<v Speaker 2>your platform right now.

0:26:38.440 --> 0:26:41.679
<v Speaker 1>You're going to steal my damn answer, say it. I

0:26:41.720 --> 0:26:46.000
<v Speaker 1>don't think the answer to this question is a gimmick commentator.

0:26:46.520 --> 0:26:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't.

0:26:48.119 --> 0:26:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Think it's a comedian, an actor, a dog, right, a

0:26:52.040 --> 0:26:54.639
<v Speaker 1>fee lion. I don't think it's any kind of gimmick

0:26:54.640 --> 0:26:55.080
<v Speaker 1>ann answer.

0:26:55.640 --> 0:26:57.760
<v Speaker 2>You should just keep naming types of vand I don't

0:26:57.760 --> 0:27:01.520
<v Speaker 2>think it's a cephalapod. I don't think it's a mollusk.

0:27:02.359 --> 0:27:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it's more a matter of format than it

0:27:05.680 --> 0:27:09.800
<v Speaker 1>is the actual commentator. Like remember when they did the

0:27:09.800 --> 0:27:13.640
<v Speaker 1>coach's film room m hmm during the National Championship. If

0:27:13.640 --> 0:27:16.200
<v Speaker 1>they could find a way to make that a little

0:27:16.200 --> 0:27:18.840
<v Speaker 1>bit more digestible, maybe not have five guys in a

0:27:18.920 --> 0:27:22.879
<v Speaker 1>room yelling out terms that most of the population doesn't understand.

0:27:22.880 --> 0:27:25.720
<v Speaker 1>If they could refine that a little bit, a format

0:27:25.920 --> 0:27:29.720
<v Speaker 1>like that will be rather interesting. Sort of what Adam

0:27:29.760 --> 0:27:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Amin did on the night of the National champion the

0:27:32.600 --> 0:27:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Homer's broadcast, the Homer's Broadcast, where he was walking around

0:27:35.280 --> 0:27:37.840
<v Speaker 1>on the sidelines and they had guys on either side.

0:27:37.920 --> 0:27:40.320
<v Speaker 1>He was doing that with Joe Tests. That stuff was

0:27:41.200 --> 0:27:44.399
<v Speaker 1>I thought pretty interesting and is enough to shake it

0:27:44.480 --> 0:27:46.520
<v Speaker 1>up where even if you're not fully into a game,

0:27:46.560 --> 0:27:48.360
<v Speaker 1>you might tune in just to see what the format

0:27:48.440 --> 0:27:50.160
<v Speaker 1>is all about. I think that's the answer here.

0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:52.200
<v Speaker 2>I like the idea, and I think you're on the

0:27:52.240 --> 0:27:56.360
<v Speaker 2>right track. That wasn't my answer, so okay, So part

0:27:56.359 --> 0:27:58.760
<v Speaker 2>of my answer would be radio feed. But like a

0:27:58.760 --> 0:28:01.160
<v Speaker 2>lot of these networks have spill channels, So like if

0:28:01.200 --> 0:28:03.760
<v Speaker 2>it's Purdue Nebraska on the Big Ten network and Big

0:28:03.800 --> 0:28:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Ten has spillover, maybe you have that familiar voice. You

0:28:06.960 --> 0:28:09.520
<v Speaker 2>know some people you grew up a Dodger fan, and

0:28:09.560 --> 0:28:11.280
<v Speaker 2>there were a lot of people when it was a

0:28:11.359 --> 0:28:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Vince Scully game on the radio but not on TV,

0:28:13.880 --> 0:28:16.719
<v Speaker 2>would mute the TV intern on the radio, So perhaps

0:28:16.880 --> 0:28:20.400
<v Speaker 2>marrying That's my other answer is what about bring in

0:28:20.920 --> 0:28:26.280
<v Speaker 2>notable NBA broadcasters or college basketball or baseball, or just

0:28:26.280 --> 0:28:30.480
<v Speaker 2>like experience, like Bill Raftrie, I like Bell Raftery. If

0:28:30.960 --> 0:28:34.840
<v Speaker 2>let's say Kyler Murray throws a bomb that's ridiculous after

0:28:34.840 --> 0:28:38.400
<v Speaker 2>shedding two tackles, and Bill Rafty is yelling onions, I'm

0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:38.960
<v Speaker 2>pretty excited.

0:28:38.960 --> 0:28:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean they sort of did that a little bit

0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:42.080
<v Speaker 1>with Gus Johnson.

0:28:42.120 --> 0:28:44.479
<v Speaker 2>Right, And it works to varying degrees and it depends

0:28:44.480 --> 0:28:47.600
<v Speaker 2>on the person, but it's not terribly hard to prep.

0:28:47.680 --> 0:28:50.520
<v Speaker 2>You learn names, you learn backstories, you learn history whatever

0:28:50.800 --> 0:28:53.120
<v Speaker 2>of these teams of the season, whatever. But I think

0:28:53.160 --> 0:28:54.400
<v Speaker 2>there are voices out there.

0:28:54.480 --> 0:28:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh you know we're missing we're missing the obvious who us?

0:28:59.200 --> 0:29:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, obviously we have to start with Patley, get at us,

0:29:01.880 --> 0:29:03.840
<v Speaker 2>get at us, pat League.

0:29:03.880 --> 0:29:06.040
<v Speaker 1>We could do something like that.

0:29:05.720 --> 0:29:08.720
<v Speaker 2>That would be my answer, Or like hell, like Pat

0:29:08.800 --> 0:29:15.520
<v Speaker 2>say Jack, he's pretty good, He's pretty smooth. He likes sports. Yeah, yeah,

0:29:15.880 --> 0:29:18.480
<v Speaker 2>so that's my answer. Not a dog, but a mollusc.

0:29:18.760 --> 0:29:20.480
<v Speaker 1>A cute dog would work.

0:29:20.480 --> 0:29:23.680
<v Speaker 2>But okay, next question, Robbie wants to know USC goes

0:29:23.680 --> 0:29:25.880
<v Speaker 2>ten and two and loses the title game to Washington.

0:29:25.960 --> 0:29:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Let's assume they go to the Rose Bowl and lose.

0:29:28.840 --> 0:29:31.080
<v Speaker 2>In his three years there, there are three top fifteen

0:29:31.120 --> 0:29:33.480
<v Speaker 2>finish as a conference win, at division win, a Rose

0:29:33.520 --> 0:29:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Bowl win in three New year six game appearances. Is

0:29:36.320 --> 0:29:39.760
<v Speaker 2>Clay Helton still on the hot seat? So I believe

0:29:40.120 --> 0:29:43.640
<v Speaker 2>if I'm understanding this question correctly, Robbie wants to know,

0:29:44.480 --> 0:29:49.800
<v Speaker 2>is there, in perpetuity USC fan acceptance of really good

0:29:49.800 --> 0:29:50.760
<v Speaker 2>but not great.

0:29:50.720 --> 0:29:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Clay Helton's perpetually hot seat is what I think we're

0:29:54.760 --> 0:29:59.200
<v Speaker 1>talking about here. Potential Fantasy things draft pick absolutely in

0:29:59.280 --> 0:30:02.480
<v Speaker 1>her upcoming fan I see things drafted an undetermined location

0:30:02.600 --> 0:30:05.520
<v Speaker 1>at this point about August August time frame. Stay tuned

0:30:05.560 --> 0:30:09.960
<v Speaker 1>for our next live show if you're interested. Yeah, the

0:30:10.320 --> 0:30:15.600
<v Speaker 1>perpetual hotness of the Clay Hilton's seat is of interest

0:30:15.600 --> 0:30:17.200
<v Speaker 1>to me, and I don't think it's fair to him.

0:30:17.760 --> 0:30:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Clay Helton stepped into that role at USC after a

0:30:22.120 --> 0:30:25.800
<v Speaker 1>long list of other coaches, higher profile guys who didn't

0:30:25.840 --> 0:30:28.560
<v Speaker 1>work out for one reason or another. He had the

0:30:28.640 --> 0:30:31.920
<v Speaker 1>kiff And thing, the Sarkesian thing like, it just didn't

0:30:31.960 --> 0:30:33.880
<v Speaker 1>work out for a lot of folks. He had coach

0:30:33.960 --> 0:30:36.560
<v Speaker 1>oh there for a little bit lobbying to get that role.

0:30:38.440 --> 0:30:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Clay Helton almost stepped into a situation where this was

0:30:42.080 --> 0:30:44.479
<v Speaker 1>always going to be the case. So the answer of

0:30:44.560 --> 0:30:48.400
<v Speaker 1>will he versus should he is important here. I don't

0:30:48.400 --> 0:30:52.120
<v Speaker 1>think he should if again, in three years there are

0:30:52.120 --> 0:30:55.640
<v Speaker 1>three top fifteen finishes. But I do think that back

0:30:55.680 --> 0:30:58.520
<v Speaker 1>to our earlier question at the top of the show,

0:30:59.080 --> 0:31:02.240
<v Speaker 1>expectations at a blue blood school like USC are already

0:31:02.320 --> 0:31:05.080
<v Speaker 1>so high, and the talent pool is already so deep

0:31:05.440 --> 0:31:07.800
<v Speaker 1>that if they don't get over that hump, if they

0:31:08.280 --> 0:31:11.200
<v Speaker 1>don't become anything more than just a top fifteen team

0:31:11.240 --> 0:31:14.719
<v Speaker 1>at the end of each season, eventually, yeah, he's going

0:31:14.760 --> 0:31:18.240
<v Speaker 1>to get let go. Eventually, Yeah, the hot seat is

0:31:18.280 --> 0:31:21.120
<v Speaker 1>going to overtake him. I think he will remain on

0:31:21.120 --> 0:31:23.040
<v Speaker 1>the hot seat if he can't get over that hump.

0:31:23.280 --> 0:31:27.280
<v Speaker 2>On the national stage, USC looked sensational on offense against

0:31:27.280 --> 0:31:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Penn State in an all time fun ridiculous rewatchable game, yes, absolutely,

0:31:32.680 --> 0:31:37.480
<v Speaker 2>for sure. Yes, then they completely look lost and overmatched

0:31:37.520 --> 0:31:40.000
<v Speaker 2>against Ohio State in the bowl game last year, and

0:31:40.880 --> 0:31:44.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, obviously in a very very early game, just

0:31:44.360 --> 0:31:48.040
<v Speaker 2>get drilled, demolished and squashed by Alabama on a neutral site.

0:31:48.360 --> 0:31:52.040
<v Speaker 2>So USC measures itself and I say that as a

0:31:52.080 --> 0:31:54.520
<v Speaker 2>fan base and a school whatever against the country's best,

0:31:54.560 --> 0:31:56.920
<v Speaker 2>because they're able to attract the best. They have a

0:31:57.000 --> 0:31:59.600
<v Speaker 2>history that aligns with the best of the best nationally

0:32:00.040 --> 0:32:02.840
<v Speaker 2>and even a recent history in the Pete Carroll era

0:32:03.120 --> 0:32:07.200
<v Speaker 2>that aligns with them. But could there be an element?

0:32:07.280 --> 0:32:09.600
<v Speaker 2>And I have his stats in front of me, and

0:32:09.640 --> 0:32:12.160
<v Speaker 2>this is so early on because he was at his

0:32:12.240 --> 0:32:19.520
<v Speaker 2>place for fifteen years. Mark Richt right good consistently forever.

0:32:20.440 --> 0:32:24.600
<v Speaker 2>But it just got to the point where people in

0:32:24.760 --> 0:32:29.280
<v Speaker 2>charge fans said, can't we be a little more? Can't

0:32:29.280 --> 0:32:34.480
<v Speaker 2>we be significantly more than good? And Mark ricked in

0:32:34.480 --> 0:32:37.959
<v Speaker 2>his fifteen years at Georgia nine out of those fifteen

0:32:38.000 --> 0:32:41.720
<v Speaker 2>years he won ten plus games. As significant he went

0:32:41.760 --> 0:32:44.640
<v Speaker 2>till three Sugar Bowls in fifteen years, so that's not

0:32:44.800 --> 0:32:48.840
<v Speaker 2>the greatest and had six shares of the East at

0:32:48.920 --> 0:32:51.760
<v Speaker 2>least either outright wins of the division or a share

0:32:51.840 --> 0:32:54.720
<v Speaker 2>of the division, but at a certain fifteen years is

0:32:54.760 --> 0:32:58.280
<v Speaker 2>a long time. But if Clay Helton is on that

0:32:58.320 --> 0:33:01.680
<v Speaker 2>sort of pace, like he goes five out of eight

0:33:01.960 --> 0:33:05.120
<v Speaker 2>years ten plus wins, six out of eight ten plus wins,

0:33:05.160 --> 0:33:08.240
<v Speaker 2>but never gets over the hump of winning the Rose

0:33:08.280 --> 0:33:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Bowl or just never does anything in the playoff, I

0:33:11.880 --> 0:33:14.880
<v Speaker 2>think there will be an element at USC that says,

0:33:15.800 --> 0:33:20.000
<v Speaker 2>we need a little more seasoning on this roast. We

0:33:20.160 --> 0:33:22.920
<v Speaker 2>just need a little bit more. And I think it's

0:33:22.960 --> 0:33:28.280
<v Speaker 2>not imminent. But Clay Helton, I don't think inspires the

0:33:28.320 --> 0:33:34.520
<v Speaker 2>same amount of program facedness as Pete Carroll, and that

0:33:34.680 --> 0:33:37.120
<v Speaker 2>is always going to be in the back of people's minds.

0:33:37.160 --> 0:33:40.720
<v Speaker 2>I believe that if he maxes out at winning or

0:33:40.800 --> 0:33:44.080
<v Speaker 2>losing the Rose Bowl, it's going to grow tiresome. But

0:33:44.120 --> 0:33:45.280
<v Speaker 2>not anytime soon.

0:33:45.160 --> 0:33:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Not anytime soon, And like I said, eventually he will

0:33:48.440 --> 0:33:52.040
<v Speaker 1>be overcome by the hotness of the seat. But you

0:33:52.120 --> 0:33:54.640
<v Speaker 1>do bring up a really important point, and it's one

0:33:54.680 --> 0:33:57.960
<v Speaker 1>that we mentioned Gosh, I want to say six or

0:33:57.960 --> 0:34:00.880
<v Speaker 1>eight months ago, when we were talking about USC and

0:34:00.880 --> 0:34:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Clay Hilton. Back in twenty seventeen, Dan Clay Heilton walked

0:34:05.960 --> 0:34:08.879
<v Speaker 1>into an airport. How many people you think would recognize how.

0:34:08.800 --> 0:34:11.200
<v Speaker 2>Many people would recognize Clayilton at a Hudson News The

0:34:11.239 --> 0:34:14.120
<v Speaker 2>answer is zero, Maybe in LA a couple.

0:34:14.800 --> 0:34:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think that factors in as well. He doesn't

0:34:17.600 --> 0:34:21.359
<v Speaker 1>have that gravitas of I don't know, Pete Carroll, someone

0:34:21.360 --> 0:34:23.879
<v Speaker 1>who's been there before, had a lot of success, someone

0:34:23.920 --> 0:34:24.879
<v Speaker 1>who's recognizable.

0:34:24.960 --> 0:34:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but here's the thing. If he's recruiting on a

0:34:27.360 --> 0:34:29.919
<v Speaker 2>top three to five level, he should have top three

0:34:29.920 --> 0:34:32.919
<v Speaker 2>to five results, and that means within the next three

0:34:33.000 --> 0:34:35.800
<v Speaker 2>years he has to win at least a playoff.

0:34:35.440 --> 0:34:37.879
<v Speaker 1>Game, right, I would think I think that's fair.

0:34:38.760 --> 0:34:41.560
<v Speaker 2>So that's where I come down with Clayhilton, who has

0:34:41.600 --> 0:34:44.160
<v Speaker 2>done a fantastic job, you know, taking over a program

0:34:44.200 --> 0:34:48.400
<v Speaker 2>that was in crazy flux, recruited super well developed quarterbacks,

0:34:48.440 --> 0:34:52.000
<v Speaker 2>has hired really well. He has done everything that USC

0:34:52.080 --> 0:34:56.120
<v Speaker 2>could possibly hope for short of top two to three results.

0:34:56.360 --> 0:35:00.520
<v Speaker 2>That's a really good agreed next question and the opposite

0:35:00.600 --> 0:35:02.760
<v Speaker 2>end of things from Matt giving the way both Virginia

0:35:02.760 --> 0:35:06.880
<v Speaker 2>football and basketball Womp WOMP ended their twenty seventeen eighteen

0:35:06.920 --> 0:35:10.280
<v Speaker 2>seasons losing against teams from Maryland. Is there any hope

0:35:10.440 --> 0:35:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Bronco can turn things around in Charlottesville. Yes, I'm still better.

0:35:14.719 --> 0:35:18.319
<v Speaker 1>Okay, hold on, Virginia last went to a bowl in

0:35:18.400 --> 0:35:19.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty eleven.

0:35:19.560 --> 0:35:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Mm. Hm.

0:35:20.360 --> 0:35:22.760
<v Speaker 1>They went to a bowl. They lost the Military Bowl

0:35:23.920 --> 0:35:27.360
<v Speaker 1>a couple months ago, hm, but still went to a

0:35:27.400 --> 0:35:31.440
<v Speaker 1>bowl game for the first time in six years. Now.

0:35:31.840 --> 0:35:34.520
<v Speaker 1>UVA might not be on the precipice of winning the

0:35:34.560 --> 0:35:40.640
<v Speaker 1>ACC going to a playoff game, but clearly the results

0:35:40.680 --> 0:35:43.520
<v Speaker 1>have been there in year two that I think if

0:35:43.560 --> 0:35:46.160
<v Speaker 1>you're a fan of the team, you have reason for optimism.

0:35:46.440 --> 0:35:48.879
<v Speaker 1>It's obviously a much different situation than what we saw

0:35:48.880 --> 0:35:52.680
<v Speaker 1>with EVA basketball leading to a sixteen seed, but I

0:35:52.719 --> 0:35:55.799
<v Speaker 1>feel pretty good about where Bronco Man and Hall's gotten

0:35:55.840 --> 0:35:56.760
<v Speaker 1>them in just two years.

0:35:57.280 --> 0:36:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Do we follow a time sport though, time in saying

0:36:02.520 --> 0:36:05.560
<v Speaker 2>that you got to give him time? It's not necessarily

0:36:05.560 --> 0:36:07.719
<v Speaker 2>a sport that's rooted in time.

0:36:07.880 --> 0:36:11.520
<v Speaker 1>No, it isn't. But not all programs are created equally.

0:36:11.719 --> 0:36:14.279
<v Speaker 1>If you step into a job at let's go back

0:36:14.320 --> 0:36:17.799
<v Speaker 1>to USC you are inherently at much more of an

0:36:17.800 --> 0:36:20.320
<v Speaker 1>advantage than you would be at a program like UVA,

0:36:20.400 --> 0:36:22.960
<v Speaker 1>which again hadn't been to a bowl game in six

0:36:23.000 --> 0:36:23.720
<v Speaker 1>full seasons.

0:36:24.239 --> 0:36:29.239
<v Speaker 2>Right. Here's why I'm sort of down on Virginia. If

0:36:29.239 --> 0:36:30.640
<v Speaker 2>I gave you an over under of one and a

0:36:30.680 --> 0:36:34.920
<v Speaker 2>half blue chip players recruited or committed to Virginia in

0:36:34.920 --> 0:36:37.200
<v Speaker 2>the last three years, what are you taking.

0:36:38.560 --> 0:36:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Under?

0:36:39.440 --> 0:36:41.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's zero. They have not gotten it on blue

0:36:42.000 --> 0:36:45.279
<v Speaker 2>chip commitment in the last three seasons, so in the

0:36:45.280 --> 0:36:47.799
<v Speaker 2>Bronco Mendenhall era, And that to me is worrisome. Not

0:36:47.880 --> 0:36:51.320
<v Speaker 2>because you need blue chip players to win eight games

0:36:51.320 --> 0:36:54.040
<v Speaker 2>a year. You need a lot of factors to win

0:36:54.080 --> 0:36:56.080
<v Speaker 2>eight plus games a year in a Power five conference.

0:36:56.120 --> 0:36:59.279
<v Speaker 2>And I think the expectation for Virginia should be bowl

0:36:59.320 --> 0:37:02.759
<v Speaker 2>games to a Bowl last year. The problem with Virginia,

0:37:02.880 --> 0:37:05.239
<v Speaker 2>as I see it as somebody who has watched not

0:37:05.360 --> 0:37:08.680
<v Speaker 2>a lot of Virginia games, but some Virginia games, is

0:37:08.719 --> 0:37:11.279
<v Speaker 2>probably going to end up year over year. If they're

0:37:11.280 --> 0:37:13.880
<v Speaker 2>not able to attract higher level talent, it's going to

0:37:13.920 --> 0:37:16.239
<v Speaker 2>be depth. What do we see from Virginia last year?

0:37:16.280 --> 0:37:19.359
<v Speaker 2>They finished the season losing four straight ACC games. After

0:37:19.400 --> 0:37:23.600
<v Speaker 2>starting what three to one? They lose four straight? What

0:37:23.640 --> 0:37:26.000
<v Speaker 2>do they do against Miami? They look sensational in the

0:37:26.000 --> 0:37:29.480
<v Speaker 2>first half and can't quite close it out. That to

0:37:29.560 --> 0:37:32.319
<v Speaker 2>me is the problem with Virginia that they are going

0:37:32.360 --> 0:37:35.520
<v Speaker 2>to win games early on, They're going to beat teams

0:37:35.560 --> 0:37:39.839
<v Speaker 2>that they are more talented then, but they're ceiling when

0:37:39.880 --> 0:37:44.600
<v Speaker 2>you're not able to attract slightly higher level. A slightly

0:37:44.640 --> 0:37:47.440
<v Speaker 2>higher level of talent is they're going to max out

0:37:47.480 --> 0:37:49.960
<v Speaker 2>at six or seven games every year, and that's max

0:37:50.040 --> 0:37:53.000
<v Speaker 2>max max, everything coming together really really well. You know,

0:37:53.000 --> 0:37:55.680
<v Speaker 2>they had that awesome game against Boise last year to

0:37:55.760 --> 0:37:58.799
<v Speaker 2>get them Bowl eligible, right, so they win that game

0:37:58.800 --> 0:38:01.920
<v Speaker 2>early on, and that seems to be a huge difference maker.

0:38:02.160 --> 0:38:05.560
<v Speaker 2>That's why I'm not at the moment because of how

0:38:05.640 --> 0:38:08.239
<v Speaker 2>down that offense looked most of the year last year,

0:38:08.280 --> 0:38:09.920
<v Speaker 2>and the defense was fine. It was top forty or

0:38:09.920 --> 0:38:13.680
<v Speaker 2>fifty defense. That's why I can't. And this year I

0:38:13.680 --> 0:38:16.160
<v Speaker 2>think they miss Clemson in Florida State, which is wonderful

0:38:16.160 --> 0:38:20.520
<v Speaker 2>for them, But there's nothing to me that says Virginia

0:38:20.680 --> 0:38:24.960
<v Speaker 2>is probably going to hit their ceiling as a program

0:38:25.560 --> 0:38:29.040
<v Speaker 2>with a kind of down pit, a so so Duke,

0:38:29.120 --> 0:38:33.440
<v Speaker 2>a super down North Carolina right now, a promising Virginia attack,

0:38:33.440 --> 0:38:38.040
<v Speaker 2>and a promising Miami in that division. I Virginia has

0:38:38.200 --> 0:38:41.719
<v Speaker 2>to be a little bit disappointed that they are not

0:38:41.960 --> 0:38:46.960
<v Speaker 2>taking advantage better right now? Okay, that's our That's where

0:38:47.000 --> 0:38:50.760
<v Speaker 2>I stand, fair enough, the talent needs to be in

0:38:50.800 --> 0:38:54.480
<v Speaker 2>a higher place. To me, Ray wants to know. Let's say,

0:38:54.480 --> 0:38:56.120
<v Speaker 2>in the acc ty, what are your thoughts on Florida

0:38:56.120 --> 0:38:58.919
<v Speaker 2>State's upcoming season. What do you think Willy Taggart's expectations

0:38:58.920 --> 0:39:03.040
<v Speaker 2>are for his team? Go knows, I don't. I'm not

0:39:03.040 --> 0:39:04.160
<v Speaker 2>familiar with who that is.

0:39:04.680 --> 0:39:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I like Willy Taggert at Florida State. That's my

0:39:11.000 --> 0:39:14.520
<v Speaker 1>broad answer. I think he fits in there. He obviously

0:39:14.600 --> 0:39:19.760
<v Speaker 1>knows the landscape. It was talked about in circles long

0:39:19.880 --> 0:39:23.439
<v Speaker 1>before Jimbo Fisher actually left that if he did, Willy

0:39:23.520 --> 0:39:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Taggart would be the place that Florida State went first.

0:39:26.640 --> 0:39:29.000
<v Speaker 1>So I think bringing him aboard makes a lot of sense.

0:39:30.800 --> 0:39:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I think he will succeed there, if not immediately, certainly

0:39:34.560 --> 0:39:36.960
<v Speaker 1>in the very very near future. Florida State's got a

0:39:36.960 --> 0:39:40.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of talent. I would expect that their offense is

0:39:40.480 --> 0:39:44.480
<v Speaker 1>going to run through cam akers this coming season. The

0:39:44.560 --> 0:39:47.560
<v Speaker 1>conference as a whole is always sort of a little

0:39:47.560 --> 0:39:49.920
<v Speaker 1>bit of wait and see. I think Florida State is

0:39:49.960 --> 0:39:53.040
<v Speaker 1>still very much in that top tier, and without having

0:39:53.040 --> 0:39:54.759
<v Speaker 1>their schedule in front of me, it's tough to sort

0:39:54.800 --> 0:39:57.640
<v Speaker 1>of gauge where that's going to go. But I wouldn't

0:39:57.680 --> 0:39:59.600
<v Speaker 1>expect there to be much much of a drop off

0:40:00.360 --> 0:40:01.879
<v Speaker 1>just becausefully Taggart's stepping in.

0:40:02.360 --> 0:40:04.920
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a very good time for a reboot

0:40:05.000 --> 0:40:09.000
<v Speaker 2>for Florida State. Jimbo Fisher always ran a pretty complicated

0:40:09.080 --> 0:40:11.120
<v Speaker 2>offense that put a lot on the quarterback in terms

0:40:11.120 --> 0:40:15.920
<v Speaker 2>of adjustments and audibles and different protections whatever. And the

0:40:15.960 --> 0:40:18.719
<v Speaker 2>big thing that Willy Taggert has been preaching, preached at

0:40:18.760 --> 0:40:22.640
<v Speaker 2>his introductory press conference was lethal simplicity that they are

0:40:22.640 --> 0:40:25.680
<v Speaker 2>going It'll be as much smaller playbook, it will get

0:40:25.680 --> 0:40:27.719
<v Speaker 2>the ball to playmakers and speed, all of you know,

0:40:27.760 --> 0:40:30.640
<v Speaker 2>your talking points at an introductory press conference, whatever. But

0:40:30.960 --> 0:40:34.680
<v Speaker 2>having watched a Willi Taggart offense for a season tie,

0:40:35.080 --> 0:40:38.960
<v Speaker 2>not many seasons, just one short season, I can tell

0:40:39.000 --> 0:40:42.760
<v Speaker 2>you that it will be an offense that is going

0:40:42.880 --> 0:40:47.319
<v Speaker 2>to look much more fun and accessible than the last

0:40:47.360 --> 0:40:49.360
<v Speaker 2>couple of years of Florida State. We'll see at quarterback

0:40:49.440 --> 0:40:51.200
<v Speaker 2>they're going to run the quarterback more, which is both

0:40:51.239 --> 0:40:53.359
<v Speaker 2>good and bad. With DeAndre Swift or its DeAndre Swift,

0:40:53.400 --> 0:40:56.440
<v Speaker 2>DeAndre Francois coming off the injury, or whoever ends up

0:40:56.440 --> 0:40:59.080
<v Speaker 2>starting for Florida stated it seems that job is wide open,

0:40:59.280 --> 0:41:02.000
<v Speaker 2>so it could be Black as well. That will be

0:41:02.239 --> 0:41:05.040
<v Speaker 2>a new responsibility for quarterbacks. I think the defense will

0:41:05.080 --> 0:41:06.120
<v Speaker 2>be in a good place, and I do have the

0:41:06.160 --> 0:41:08.399
<v Speaker 2>schedule in front of me. They open against Virginia Tech

0:41:08.400 --> 0:41:11.920
<v Speaker 2>on that Labor Day Monday night game, which should be difficult.

0:41:12.200 --> 0:41:15.440
<v Speaker 2>It should be that Virginia Tech defense, even with losing

0:41:15.560 --> 0:41:18.960
<v Speaker 2>probably their two best players at least, that should be difficult.

0:41:19.040 --> 0:41:22.040
<v Speaker 2>But beyond that, I know Northern Illinois had a nice offense,

0:41:22.040 --> 0:41:25.200
<v Speaker 2>but they should in that's a rematch right the Floor

0:41:25.320 --> 0:41:29.719
<v Speaker 2>State Northern Illinois game. Louisville's defense should be manageable to

0:41:29.719 --> 0:41:31.960
<v Speaker 2>play against, I assume, but it should be improved from

0:41:31.960 --> 0:41:34.719
<v Speaker 2>where it was last year. The Miami defense should be tough.

0:41:34.760 --> 0:41:37.919
<v Speaker 2>They get Clemson at home, and they go to Notre Dame,

0:41:38.040 --> 0:41:40.479
<v Speaker 2>and that is it's a pretty good year, I would say.

0:41:40.480 --> 0:41:42.319
<v Speaker 2>And we don't really know what Notre Dame is going

0:41:42.360 --> 0:41:44.920
<v Speaker 2>to look like in mid November, but in terms of

0:41:45.760 --> 0:41:48.120
<v Speaker 2>where Notre Dame has been strong these past couple of

0:41:48.160 --> 0:41:50.480
<v Speaker 2>years at offensive line. It'll be a step back without

0:41:50.560 --> 0:41:53.440
<v Speaker 2>McGlinchey and Nelson. We don't know. We're not all that

0:41:53.560 --> 0:41:57.799
<v Speaker 2>confident in quarterback for Notre Dame in March, and they're

0:41:57.840 --> 0:42:00.960
<v Speaker 2>working in a new defensive coordinator. See what happens there.

0:42:00.960 --> 0:42:03.160
<v Speaker 2>We know what Notre Dame looks like with a really

0:42:03.200 --> 0:42:05.400
<v Speaker 2>good coordinated defense, and we know what it looks like

0:42:05.520 --> 0:42:07.960
<v Speaker 2>with sort of a shoddy mess of a coordinated defense

0:42:08.000 --> 0:42:09.520
<v Speaker 2>in the last two years.

0:42:10.040 --> 0:42:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Yep, oh yeah, we know well, no, quite well.

0:42:12.640 --> 0:42:15.240
<v Speaker 2>And we don't know anything about what Florida will actually

0:42:15.280 --> 0:42:18.520
<v Speaker 2>look like. But that game is at home, So Florida

0:42:18.520 --> 0:42:22.719
<v Speaker 2>State should win nine games. I don't think it's unreasonable

0:42:22.760 --> 0:42:24.360
<v Speaker 2>to say that they should win nine games with the

0:42:24.360 --> 0:42:26.359
<v Speaker 2>talent they have on both sides of the ball. They

0:42:26.360 --> 0:42:29.480
<v Speaker 2>lose their best defensive player in Derwin James, but I

0:42:30.320 --> 0:42:34.439
<v Speaker 2>am confident that this staff will energize this Florida State

0:42:34.480 --> 0:42:36.919
<v Speaker 2>team in ways that have been lacking these past couple

0:42:36.960 --> 0:42:39.160
<v Speaker 2>of years. Any tips I like this, This comes to

0:42:39.280 --> 0:42:42.040
<v Speaker 2>us from Jesse with an Eye. You know, not Jody

0:42:42.040 --> 0:42:43.720
<v Speaker 2>with an eye, but Jesse with an eye. Any tips

0:42:43.760 --> 0:42:46.080
<v Speaker 2>on traveling to a big game on a small budget,

0:42:47.719 --> 0:42:50.640
<v Speaker 2>traveling to a big game on a small budget. I

0:42:50.680 --> 0:42:53.200
<v Speaker 2>don't know how old this person is, and that would

0:42:53.239 --> 0:42:57.000
<v Speaker 2>affect my answer about willingness to sleep on couches and

0:42:57.160 --> 0:42:59.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, get a hotel room with four other people.

0:42:59.840 --> 0:43:02.840
<v Speaker 1>I think as far as food goes, at least on

0:43:02.960 --> 0:43:06.720
<v Speaker 1>game day, you can almost always find a tailgate with food.

0:43:07.160 --> 0:43:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, oh, definitely.

0:43:08.200 --> 0:43:12.120
<v Speaker 1>You can definitely find somewhere to eat, be friendly, go up,

0:43:13.400 --> 0:43:16.719
<v Speaker 1>try to introduce yourself. You can definitely find a tailgate

0:43:16.760 --> 0:43:18.880
<v Speaker 1>that you can get some fre food from. So that

0:43:18.960 --> 0:43:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I think is given to your point. As far as

0:43:24.400 --> 0:43:30.040
<v Speaker 1>lodging goes, I would suggest that if you are in

0:43:30.080 --> 0:43:34.640
<v Speaker 1>a really small budget that you stay a couple hours

0:43:34.680 --> 0:43:38.240
<v Speaker 1>out of town and drive in on game day because

0:43:38.719 --> 0:43:40.719
<v Speaker 1>depends what time the game is. But yeah, depends what

0:43:40.719 --> 0:43:43.040
<v Speaker 1>time the game is. Depends on a lot of factors.

0:43:43.080 --> 0:43:46.480
<v Speaker 1>But if you can drive in and stay out of town,

0:43:47.480 --> 0:43:49.480
<v Speaker 1>that'll keep the hotel build down fair.

0:43:49.560 --> 0:43:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would say, get really good at buying scalp tickets.

0:43:55.920 --> 0:43:58.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, maybe wait until the first quarter starts. I

0:43:58.400 --> 0:44:01.479
<v Speaker 2>don't know, that's when jen only ticket prices will come down.

0:44:01.880 --> 0:44:04.200
<v Speaker 2>I would yeah, I think definitely staying you don't think

0:44:04.200 --> 0:44:06.000
<v Speaker 2>you have to do two hours maybe you know, forty

0:44:06.000 --> 0:44:09.719
<v Speaker 2>five minutes an hour outside of town. Don't be afraid to, uh,

0:44:09.880 --> 0:44:11.880
<v Speaker 2>maybe bring a couple sleeping bags if you're driving to

0:44:11.880 --> 0:44:14.160
<v Speaker 2>the game, so you get four people in a two

0:44:14.200 --> 0:44:16.719
<v Speaker 2>bed or a one bed hotel room. I'm trying to

0:44:16.719 --> 0:44:18.680
<v Speaker 2>think of anything else. Tie, or you could watch the

0:44:18.760 --> 0:44:21.960
<v Speaker 2>game at a tailgate. You watch it not nearly as fun.

0:44:22.600 --> 0:44:24.320
<v Speaker 2>But if tickets are crazy, if you're going to like

0:44:24.440 --> 0:44:27.040
<v Speaker 2>LSU Bama, or you're going to some crazy expensive game

0:44:27.120 --> 0:44:29.719
<v Speaker 2>USC UCLA. Actually that's not that expensive to get in

0:44:31.640 --> 0:44:34.120
<v Speaker 2>there are If you can become friends with a megatailgate

0:44:34.120 --> 0:44:36.960
<v Speaker 2>that has a bunch of screens and smokers going, that

0:44:37.040 --> 0:44:39.759
<v Speaker 2>can be fun. All right, super fun. Hey, here's you're

0:44:39.760 --> 0:44:41.680
<v Speaker 2>going to travel you don't want to watch it at tailgate.

0:44:41.760 --> 0:44:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Here's one from Dakota. Yeah. If you were a new

0:44:44.520 --> 0:44:47.279
<v Speaker 1>head football coach, what would be your go to a

0:44:47.320 --> 0:44:51.440
<v Speaker 1>response when reporters ask you how spring ball was going.

0:44:52.040 --> 0:44:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Answers could include quote, we're taking it day by day,

0:44:55.960 --> 0:45:00.680
<v Speaker 1>quote looking forward to getting one percent better fo the

0:45:00.760 --> 0:45:03.680
<v Speaker 1>more literal quote this team sucks and they're damn glad.

0:45:03.719 --> 0:45:06.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm here to fix it. Do you have any answers, Dan.

0:45:06.960 --> 0:45:11.160
<v Speaker 2>My answer would be similar, but not as cliched. I

0:45:11.200 --> 0:45:13.760
<v Speaker 2>would say something along the lines of, like, I barely

0:45:13.840 --> 0:45:16.879
<v Speaker 2>know these people. I don't know how I can give

0:45:16.920 --> 0:45:21.000
<v Speaker 2>you any sort of expectation of what to expect based

0:45:21.000 --> 0:45:26.000
<v Speaker 2>on springball. Because coaches meet with players, they have such

0:45:26.080 --> 0:45:29.800
<v Speaker 2>limited amounts of time during the spring before spring ball

0:45:30.280 --> 0:45:33.880
<v Speaker 2>that they're literally just learning about their players during springball.

0:45:33.920 --> 0:45:36.360
<v Speaker 2>And that if you're a new coach, you don't know

0:45:36.400 --> 0:45:38.040
<v Speaker 2>what this receiver is good at, you don't know what

0:45:38.120 --> 0:45:40.440
<v Speaker 2>this safety does, you don't know the work habits of

0:45:40.480 --> 0:45:43.960
<v Speaker 2>this left guard whatever, and you honestly you're learning about

0:45:43.960 --> 0:45:48.920
<v Speaker 2>your new staff because almost without exception, a new head

0:45:48.920 --> 0:45:52.800
<v Speaker 2>coach is bringing in spare not spare parts, but parts

0:45:52.840 --> 0:45:56.720
<v Speaker 2>from different parts of the country and backgrounds and everything

0:45:56.760 --> 0:46:00.520
<v Speaker 2>like that. So you're really just it's a learning process, Dan.

0:46:00.920 --> 0:46:06.799
<v Speaker 2>What if you instantly went on offense. What if you said, no,

0:46:07.840 --> 0:46:10.480
<v Speaker 2>it's going pretty well, it's definitely going better than our

0:46:10.520 --> 0:46:16.240
<v Speaker 2>friends over at State. Well, then you're increasing expectations time.

0:46:16.120 --> 0:46:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Increasing expectations, But you're gonna gin up the fan base

0:46:19.160 --> 0:46:21.600
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. You're gonna get people talking about spring

0:46:21.640 --> 0:46:24.040
<v Speaker 1>ball if it's a smaller school, you're gonna get people

0:46:24.040 --> 0:46:26.759
<v Speaker 1>talking about your program. Yeah, you got to make sure

0:46:26.800 --> 0:46:30.480
<v Speaker 1>you beat State, otherwise you get fired. But history favors

0:46:30.520 --> 0:46:31.680
<v Speaker 1>the bold. My friend, I.

0:46:31.960 --> 0:46:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Don't care about winning in spring ty that's winning the

0:46:35.520 --> 0:46:38.160
<v Speaker 2>internet and that means nothing. So I'm going to say,

0:46:39.360 --> 0:46:42.080
<v Speaker 2>you manage those that you do Lou Holtz. Isn't that

0:46:42.080 --> 0:46:43.520
<v Speaker 2>what like Lou Holtz would always do, Like, I don't

0:46:43.520 --> 0:46:45.640
<v Speaker 2>know how we're gonna win this game. Look at those guys,

0:46:45.840 --> 0:46:48.400
<v Speaker 2>they're incredible. We'll be lucky if we stay within fourteen.

0:46:48.920 --> 0:46:52.880
<v Speaker 2>So I would say, you know, it's an overhauling process

0:46:53.040 --> 0:46:55.759
<v Speaker 2>and we're just taking baby steps. That's what I would do.

0:46:55.760 --> 0:46:58.200
<v Speaker 2>I would manage expectations and buy myself as much time

0:46:58.239 --> 0:47:01.400
<v Speaker 2>as humanly possible, because again, I barely know these players

0:47:01.480 --> 0:47:04.600
<v Speaker 2>at that at the time of spring, our.

0:47:04.480 --> 0:47:06.840
<v Speaker 1>New strength coach really paying dividends.

0:47:06.560 --> 0:47:09.000
<v Speaker 2>That's the big move. Put it on the strength coach

0:47:09.080 --> 0:47:11.400
<v Speaker 2>and the strength staff. That's who gets to see the

0:47:11.440 --> 0:47:12.600
<v Speaker 2>players all spring long.

0:47:13.239 --> 0:47:15.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, there are so many cliched answers here.

0:47:15.760 --> 0:47:19.400
<v Speaker 1>The strength coach paying a strength coach, the defensive coordinator

0:47:19.400 --> 0:47:23.880
<v Speaker 1>with a new aggressive attacking mentality. So many things that

0:47:23.920 --> 0:47:25.800
<v Speaker 1>you hear that are reguriated throughout.

0:47:26.880 --> 0:47:29.400
<v Speaker 2>When will and of course Ken Greeley wants to know

0:47:29.480 --> 0:47:32.680
<v Speaker 2>when will the twenty eighteen Solidrible T shirt be available? Ooh,

0:47:33.800 --> 0:47:36.720
<v Speaker 2>it'll probably be The Solidrible shirt will probably be summer

0:47:37.000 --> 0:47:38.479
<v Speaker 2>ish before the season. Yep.

0:47:39.040 --> 0:47:42.120
<v Speaker 1>And for those that are wondering, we do have plans

0:47:42.160 --> 0:47:45.560
<v Speaker 1>afoot to improve the ordering process.

0:47:45.840 --> 0:47:46.359
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we do.

0:47:47.000 --> 0:47:50.160
<v Speaker 1>We have some plans that we're working on here in

0:47:50.239 --> 0:47:51.799
<v Speaker 1>March to make that better for you.

0:47:52.280 --> 0:47:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Ours was like a three step process these past couple

0:47:54.960 --> 0:47:56.640
<v Speaker 2>of years, and we're trying to make it a one stepper.

0:47:56.680 --> 0:47:59.400
<v Speaker 1>We're going to make it easier, I promise, I promise you.

0:47:59.760 --> 0:48:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but stay tuned because there's more on that front,

0:48:02.840 --> 0:48:07.399
<v Speaker 2>perhaps sooner than that. I like this question a lot,

0:48:07.600 --> 0:48:10.800
<v Speaker 2>and this is sort of football, sort of TV media,

0:48:11.160 --> 0:48:14.360
<v Speaker 2>and then we can get to this giant question to

0:48:14.360 --> 0:48:18.000
<v Speaker 2>finish it out. As a South Carolina fan, this comes

0:48:18.040 --> 0:48:20.759
<v Speaker 2>to us from bo. I ask you both to try

0:48:20.800 --> 0:48:23.880
<v Speaker 2>to formulate a reasonable argument that this is somehow based

0:48:23.920 --> 0:48:27.880
<v Speaker 2>in reality and not just off season clickbait for diehards.

0:48:28.680 --> 0:48:32.600
<v Speaker 2>And the attached image is from our pal Peter Burns,

0:48:32.920 --> 0:48:35.640
<v Speaker 2>who is on the SEC Network. He hosts a bunch

0:48:35.640 --> 0:48:37.319
<v Speaker 2>of stuff on there. He's great, has been in this

0:48:37.360 --> 0:48:38.360
<v Speaker 2>business for a long time.

0:48:38.960 --> 0:48:43.360
<v Speaker 1>And his quote is Tom Louganbill.

0:48:44.080 --> 0:48:47.760
<v Speaker 2>It's it's secondhand, third hand. So it's Peter Burns quoting

0:48:47.800 --> 0:48:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Tom Louganviill on South Carolina. Tom Louganviil, of course, of ESPN,

0:48:52.239 --> 0:48:57.319
<v Speaker 2>And I guess the athletic I've never caps never seen

0:48:57.360 --> 0:49:01.520
<v Speaker 2>a will Must Champ offense like this. No, lie, you

0:49:01.560 --> 0:49:05.280
<v Speaker 2>would have thought they were old school Oregon with their tempo.

0:49:05.520 --> 0:49:07.759
<v Speaker 1>Ooh, so.

0:49:10.320 --> 0:49:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Is this the most late March tweet possible? Yes, yes,

0:49:18.120 --> 0:49:21.799
<v Speaker 2>so basically, And I think ty you and I are

0:49:21.840 --> 0:49:25.640
<v Speaker 2>an agreement. If South Carolina's offense is good, that's good. Yeah,

0:49:26.000 --> 0:49:28.920
<v Speaker 2>that's right, it's right. That's more fun offense in college

0:49:28.920 --> 0:49:32.279
<v Speaker 2>football at a place that hasn't necessarily been consistent offensively

0:49:32.400 --> 0:49:35.279
<v Speaker 2>these past few years. And well, Must champions have not

0:49:35.320 --> 0:49:40.040
<v Speaker 2>necessarily would consistent on offense. But South Carolina is playing

0:49:40.080 --> 0:49:42.040
<v Speaker 2>against whom in March.

0:49:41.800 --> 0:49:43.240
<v Speaker 1>They would be playing against themselves.

0:49:43.400 --> 0:49:46.640
<v Speaker 2>They would be or air or oxygen or sleds or

0:49:46.680 --> 0:49:51.040
<v Speaker 2>something like that. Also, playing fast does not necessarily mean

0:49:51.080 --> 0:49:55.000
<v Speaker 2>playing well. Playing with tempo could also mean well, they

0:49:55.000 --> 0:49:58.319
<v Speaker 2>went three and out super quickly. They really picked up

0:49:58.360 --> 0:50:01.920
<v Speaker 2>the pace to just punt real quick quickly. I am

0:50:02.040 --> 0:50:04.160
<v Speaker 2>there are certain coaches that I give the benefit of

0:50:04.200 --> 0:50:07.760
<v Speaker 2>the doubt offensively, like I am going to give Chad Morrison,

0:50:07.880 --> 0:50:10.640
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah, Frost the benefit of the doubt that they

0:50:10.640 --> 0:50:14.000
<v Speaker 2>are going to overhaul things on offense for their respective school.

0:50:14.080 --> 0:50:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Will must Champ not so much in that category.

0:50:16.400 --> 0:50:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Dan, not necessarily both Will must Champion terms of as

0:50:19.960 --> 0:50:22.560
<v Speaker 2>a head coach and as somebody in charge of hiring

0:50:22.600 --> 0:50:23.920
<v Speaker 2>and having a vision for the.

0:50:23.920 --> 0:50:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Offense right right right exactly.

0:50:25.840 --> 0:50:28.279
<v Speaker 2>There there have been a lot of recent stories of

0:50:28.360 --> 0:50:31.799
<v Speaker 2>like will Mus's champions changed again, We're rooting for it.

0:50:31.920 --> 0:50:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely. And look, I love Tom Logan, Bill. I

0:50:35.719 --> 0:50:39.320
<v Speaker 1>think he's fantastic on the sidelines. I think he always

0:50:39.320 --> 0:50:42.400
<v Speaker 1>says something smart to say when he says something. This

0:50:42.640 --> 0:50:46.160
<v Speaker 1>is an anecdote, and as you said, it is absolutely

0:50:46.200 --> 0:50:51.200
<v Speaker 1>the most late March thing possible. To your point, playing

0:50:51.280 --> 0:50:54.760
<v Speaker 1>fast does not mean you're playing well. Uh. South Carolina

0:50:54.880 --> 0:50:59.560
<v Speaker 1>was improved offensively last year over the previous season. We

0:50:59.600 --> 0:51:02.560
<v Speaker 1>can hope that they continue to improve. I just don't

0:51:02.560 --> 0:51:05.600
<v Speaker 1>put a whole lot of stock in what you see

0:51:05.680 --> 0:51:08.560
<v Speaker 1>at this stage in the game, because there are a

0:51:08.600 --> 0:51:11.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of March national championships that come and go and

0:51:11.880 --> 0:51:13.959
<v Speaker 1>don't translate to what we actually see in the fall.

0:51:14.840 --> 0:51:18.520
<v Speaker 2>I have heard, ty, and this is secondhand, I have

0:51:18.680 --> 0:51:23.600
<v Speaker 2>heard that South Carolina has been dominating the Manning Passing Agademy.

0:51:24.400 --> 0:51:28.440
<v Speaker 2>They have been lights out. If you thought any of

0:51:28.440 --> 0:51:32.239
<v Speaker 2>the lights were on with us in South Carolina offense now,

0:51:32.680 --> 0:51:35.640
<v Speaker 2>I hope so. But there's a lot that goes into

0:51:35.840 --> 0:51:40.360
<v Speaker 2>playing successfully with tempo other than just playing quickly, and

0:51:40.440 --> 0:51:43.160
<v Speaker 2>so we're rooting for it. But that is the most

0:51:43.440 --> 0:51:46.160
<v Speaker 2>late March opinion possible, and we hope it comes to fruition.

0:51:46.320 --> 0:51:50.799
<v Speaker 2>But will we reference this if South Carolina falters with

0:51:50.880 --> 0:51:53.399
<v Speaker 2>their new tempo offense. I think it's a good bet.

0:51:53.400 --> 0:51:54.319
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a good bet.

0:51:54.440 --> 0:51:55.959
<v Speaker 1>All right. So here's the way we're going to close

0:51:56.000 --> 0:52:01.280
<v Speaker 1>this out, Dan, I'm at the risk of this question

0:52:01.360 --> 0:52:05.240
<v Speaker 1>becoming its own show. Let me read off the question

0:52:05.360 --> 0:52:08.399
<v Speaker 1>here and then we will figure out a concise way

0:52:08.400 --> 0:52:10.759
<v Speaker 1>to answer it and perhaps bounce it out to the

0:52:10.800 --> 0:52:15.520
<v Speaker 1>overballerhood at large. Oh my god, Okay, loaded, he says,

0:52:15.560 --> 0:52:20.280
<v Speaker 1>good afternoon, gents. In October I am planning my first

0:52:20.320 --> 0:52:24.560
<v Speaker 1>trip to America. Hmm. It'll be a solo jaunt. It's

0:52:24.600 --> 0:52:28.000
<v Speaker 1>going to be very self indulgent. I mean, I'll be

0:52:28.640 --> 0:52:30.840
<v Speaker 1>on the search for lots of food, lots of sport,

0:52:30.960 --> 0:52:34.560
<v Speaker 1>lots to see. I'm looking for advice more than anything

0:52:35.040 --> 0:52:39.040
<v Speaker 1>from you, find folks about what I should do. To

0:52:39.040 --> 0:52:41.600
<v Speaker 1>give you an idea of my journey, I am flying

0:52:41.640 --> 0:52:44.680
<v Speaker 1>to la planning to hire a car I love that,

0:52:45.320 --> 0:52:47.760
<v Speaker 1>and drive around the country and end up in New York.

0:52:48.239 --> 0:52:49.600
<v Speaker 1>I will then fly I.

0:52:49.560 --> 0:52:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Really hope he's hiring like a personal driver to escort.

0:52:52.080 --> 0:52:54.000
<v Speaker 1>That would be awesome, but hiring a car is still

0:52:54.000 --> 0:52:57.399
<v Speaker 1>an awesome way to phrase it. Available by the way, absolutely,

0:52:57.680 --> 0:53:00.160
<v Speaker 1>let's do this, buddy. I will then fly from New

0:53:00.239 --> 0:53:02.759
<v Speaker 1>York to Vancouver, where I'll be spending time with my

0:53:02.840 --> 0:53:04.759
<v Speaker 1>cousins before flying home to Australia.

0:53:05.120 --> 0:53:05.359
<v Speaker 2>Great.

0:53:05.480 --> 0:53:07.320
<v Speaker 1>All in all, I'm planning to be there for about

0:53:07.320 --> 0:53:11.439
<v Speaker 1>a month. The only real place I want Slash have

0:53:11.480 --> 0:53:14.960
<v Speaker 1>to visit is New Orleans. I'm a Saints and Pelicans

0:53:15.000 --> 0:53:17.400
<v Speaker 1>fan and I want to see them play there, not

0:53:17.560 --> 0:53:20.799
<v Speaker 1>to mention experience the culture that is New Orleans. So

0:53:21.000 --> 0:53:25.080
<v Speaker 1>with that in mind, one what are the key college

0:53:25.200 --> 0:53:27.400
<v Speaker 1>stadiums to try and get to to see games of

0:53:27.640 --> 0:53:31.080
<v Speaker 1>college football? Two? What is the best way to get

0:53:31.160 --> 0:53:34.120
<v Speaker 1>cheap tickets? Is it still stub Hub or seat Geek?

0:53:34.880 --> 0:53:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Three?

0:53:35.440 --> 0:53:39.360
<v Speaker 1>What are the best states for certain food? Barbecue, pizza,

0:53:39.360 --> 0:53:42.160
<v Speaker 1>and random stuff? Just no seafood. I'm not a huge

0:53:42.160 --> 0:53:44.400
<v Speaker 1>fan of it. Okay, I'll try it in New Orleans,

0:53:44.400 --> 0:53:46.640
<v Speaker 1>but I'm not a fan of it normally. And four

0:53:46.920 --> 0:53:51.920
<v Speaker 1>what is your must see quintessential totally American thing that

0:53:51.960 --> 0:53:55.640
<v Speaker 1>I have to see and do? This? As we indicate,

0:53:55.680 --> 0:53:57.880
<v Speaker 1>it could be its own show. Correct, This is a

0:53:57.960 --> 0:54:00.560
<v Speaker 1>question of coming to America? What what do I do

0:54:00.600 --> 0:54:04.319
<v Speaker 1>when I get here? Let's keep it college football here.

0:54:04.640 --> 0:54:07.080
<v Speaker 1>What are the stadiums if you're going to go and

0:54:07.160 --> 0:54:08.839
<v Speaker 1>drive around the country, if you're going to go out

0:54:08.880 --> 0:54:11.719
<v Speaker 1>of your way after you hire the car to go

0:54:11.760 --> 0:54:14.960
<v Speaker 1>and see anyone stadium, whether there's a game going on

0:54:15.080 --> 0:54:16.520
<v Speaker 1>or not, what stadium would that be?

0:54:16.960 --> 0:54:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, if he's going to be in New Orleans, just

0:54:18.640 --> 0:54:20.560
<v Speaker 2>shoot up to Baton Rouge and go to Death Valley.

0:54:20.719 --> 0:54:21.600
<v Speaker 2>That's a no brainer.

0:54:21.960 --> 0:54:22.520
<v Speaker 1>I agree.

0:54:23.640 --> 0:54:25.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what his exact timing will be, but

0:54:25.480 --> 0:54:28.080
<v Speaker 2>it sounds like he's pretty flexible. I would go to

0:54:28.200 --> 0:54:30.680
<v Speaker 2>LSU and I would get in touch with the great

0:54:30.719 --> 0:54:33.560
<v Speaker 2>people of and the Valley Shook, the Podcat and Dan

0:54:33.640 --> 0:54:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Davis and all those people, and it's a Jake Nazar

0:54:37.120 --> 0:54:40.720
<v Speaker 2>and eat as much Cajun food at a tailgate as possible.

0:54:40.719 --> 0:54:42.600
<v Speaker 2>And hopefully it's for a big LSU game. I don't

0:54:42.600 --> 0:54:44.760
<v Speaker 2>have the LSU schedule in front of me, but hopefully

0:54:44.840 --> 0:54:48.879
<v Speaker 2>a big SEC night game that'd be preferable. Otherwise, if

0:54:48.880 --> 0:54:51.680
<v Speaker 2>he's starting in La, I mean go to USC game,

0:54:51.840 --> 0:54:54.480
<v Speaker 2>I would say go to either. I mean you go

0:54:54.520 --> 0:54:56.320
<v Speaker 2>to ut I think Texas, A and M would probably

0:54:56.320 --> 0:55:00.880
<v Speaker 2>be more fun in a different and a unique Oklahoma

0:55:00.920 --> 0:55:05.080
<v Speaker 2>would be really fun in Norman, uh, Stillwater would give

0:55:05.120 --> 0:55:07.520
<v Speaker 2>you a good experience of what it's like to go

0:55:07.560 --> 0:55:11.239
<v Speaker 2>to a very small, college centric town. If you're going

0:55:11.320 --> 0:55:13.880
<v Speaker 2>to be going through Oklahoma, I think Colorado just in

0:55:14.000 --> 0:55:18.120
<v Speaker 2>terms of seeing an awesome town and an awesome stadium,

0:55:18.719 --> 0:55:23.279
<v Speaker 2>and just a geographically, because my recommendation would be to

0:55:23.360 --> 0:55:27.120
<v Speaker 2>like hit as many of the National parks along the

0:55:27.160 --> 0:55:30.920
<v Speaker 2>southwest Midwest. There's not a lot of Midwest National parks,

0:55:30.920 --> 0:55:32.879
<v Speaker 2>but you know, go to Utah, go to the Grand

0:55:33.280 --> 0:55:34.120
<v Speaker 2>the Grand Canyon.

0:55:34.320 --> 0:55:35.640
<v Speaker 1>You got to go to the Grand Canyon.

0:55:36.320 --> 0:55:38.439
<v Speaker 2>I would say, hit as many of you know, the

0:55:38.560 --> 0:55:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Purple Mountains, majesty, the Amber waves of grain that your

0:55:42.080 --> 0:55:46.560
<v Speaker 2>path has to offer. Wegmans in Allentown obviously is just

0:55:47.320 --> 0:55:50.280
<v Speaker 2>the center of culture as we know it in America.

0:55:51.480 --> 0:55:55.400
<v Speaker 2>Best states for food California and Texas to me are

0:55:55.440 --> 0:55:57.680
<v Speaker 2>pretty unbeatable. But if you're going to New Orleans, then

0:55:58.200 --> 0:55:59.960
<v Speaker 2>load up. Don't if you don't like seafood, don't get

0:56:00.000 --> 0:56:02.520
<v Speaker 2>see food will get you know, a roast beef po boy,

0:56:02.640 --> 0:56:06.600
<v Speaker 2>get fried chicken at Willie May's Scotch House. Go to

0:56:06.640 --> 0:56:09.439
<v Speaker 2>Koshan Butcher for sandwiches. You can't go wrong in New Orleans.

0:56:09.480 --> 0:56:11.880
<v Speaker 2>There's also I would go to eat. It does a

0:56:11.880 --> 0:56:14.920
<v Speaker 2>good job with city guides for food and eating. But

0:56:14.960 --> 0:56:18.040
<v Speaker 2>if you need taco help in the Southwest, just get

0:56:18.040 --> 0:56:21.919
<v Speaker 2>at us continually and I will help you out. Yeah,

0:56:21.920 --> 0:56:24.520
<v Speaker 2>the West Coast is good for pizza, barbecue. You can

0:56:24.520 --> 0:56:27.680
<v Speaker 2>do well, and you can do probably unbeatable in Texas.

0:56:27.680 --> 0:56:29.200
<v Speaker 2>To me, if you go to Austin, you'll have a

0:56:29.239 --> 0:56:33.480
<v Speaker 2>great time eating barbecue and tacos and such. But I

0:56:33.480 --> 0:56:35.840
<v Speaker 2>would I would say hit national parks, national parks. So

0:56:36.120 --> 0:56:37.920
<v Speaker 2>here's a take in the beauty. Here's what we're going

0:56:38.000 --> 0:56:40.200
<v Speaker 2>to do. Is there a million answers to this question.

0:56:41.200 --> 0:56:43.000
<v Speaker 2>What we're going to do is we're going to throw

0:56:43.600 --> 0:56:46.600
<v Speaker 2>a challenge out there because we have so many red

0:56:46.600 --> 0:56:50.280
<v Speaker 2>blooded Americans who listen to this program. He's from Australia.

0:56:50.320 --> 0:56:51.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you mentioned that he.

0:56:51.440 --> 0:56:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Is from Australia. Yes, yeah, make Google maps for us,

0:56:56.800 --> 0:57:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Make Google maps, tweet them in at solid verbal mm hmmm,

0:57:03.360 --> 0:57:07.520
<v Speaker 1>and Josh from Australia. Check our Twitter account, check to

0:57:07.560 --> 0:57:10.040
<v Speaker 1>see what's coming in. We'll do our best to try

0:57:10.040 --> 0:57:12.560
<v Speaker 1>and get those out to you because my senses, there

0:57:12.560 --> 0:57:15.399
<v Speaker 1>are a million different opinions here and the best way

0:57:15.480 --> 0:57:19.400
<v Speaker 1>to get it into some actionable format for you is

0:57:19.440 --> 0:57:21.800
<v Speaker 1>to get it on a Google map. So for anyone

0:57:21.840 --> 0:57:23.640
<v Speaker 1>out there, make some Google maps, send them on in.

0:57:23.720 --> 0:57:25.520
<v Speaker 1>We'll make sure Josh gets him. He can pick from

0:57:25.560 --> 0:57:26.080
<v Speaker 1>his favorites.

0:57:26.160 --> 0:57:29.720
<v Speaker 2>And he's from Adelaide. I believe that's where Layton Hugh

0:57:29.760 --> 0:57:35.480
<v Speaker 2>it is from. Okay, you the southern part of Australia. Yeah,

0:57:35.600 --> 0:57:37.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm just these are fun facts, ty, We're talking fun

0:57:37.760 --> 0:57:40.280
<v Speaker 2>facts about America. Yeah, I'm trying to think anything else.

0:57:40.320 --> 0:57:42.320
<v Speaker 2>What I would I mean, listen to a bunch of podcasts. Obviously,

0:57:42.400 --> 0:57:46.520
<v Speaker 2>as you drive, stop off if you see something pretty

0:57:46.800 --> 0:57:50.160
<v Speaker 2>alongside the road, have view a mountain, a waterfall, or something.

0:57:50.560 --> 0:57:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Take a second. Life moves quickly, ty slow down.

0:57:53.920 --> 0:57:58.040
<v Speaker 1>That's what I was with you, brother. All right. One

0:57:58.120 --> 0:58:03.120
<v Speaker 1>final note here, Yes, if Villanova wins the national championship,

0:58:03.120 --> 0:58:06.760
<v Speaker 1>mom H will win our basketball pool, the solid verbal one,

0:58:06.800 --> 0:58:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the solid verbal one with hundreds of entries.

0:58:09.040 --> 0:58:12.520
<v Speaker 2>I think Jody with and I has murdered both me

0:58:12.800 --> 0:58:14.760
<v Speaker 2>and my parents.

0:58:14.960 --> 0:58:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Literally are in the context of the pool.

0:58:17.320 --> 0:58:19.280
<v Speaker 2>In the context of the pool. I'm looking right now,

0:58:19.320 --> 0:58:20.160
<v Speaker 2>who's at the top.

0:58:20.720 --> 0:58:22.720
<v Speaker 1>At the top, I think we've got our old friend Pete,

0:58:22.760 --> 0:58:23.680
<v Speaker 1>so right.

0:58:23.520 --> 0:58:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Now, Okay, Jody with and I has Michigan, as does

0:58:26.360 --> 0:58:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Mama Rubinstein. I am in the thirteenth percent. Arizona was

0:58:32.320 --> 0:58:35.000
<v Speaker 2>my national champ. Jody with and I has Michigan. I'm

0:58:35.120 --> 0:58:38.160
<v Speaker 2>going I'm going to be in Chicago for the Final

0:58:38.200 --> 0:58:42.480
<v Speaker 2>four game with Michigan playing Loyola of Chicago. Uh oh,

0:58:42.520 --> 0:58:44.560
<v Speaker 2>so that's gonna be a total mess. I'm excited.

0:58:45.080 --> 0:58:49.000
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, mom H wins If Villanova wins, which

0:58:49.000 --> 0:58:51.480
<v Speaker 1>you'll triumphun like any other here on the podcast.

0:58:51.560 --> 0:58:54.840
<v Speaker 2>How do people feel about Villanova in Pennsylvania? Is it

0:58:54.880 --> 0:58:56.360
<v Speaker 2>sort of like a pretty boy thing?

0:58:56.760 --> 0:58:57.040
<v Speaker 1>It is?

0:58:57.160 --> 0:58:59.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, that's what And it's not technically in phil

0:59:00.400 --> 0:59:01.840
<v Speaker 2>it's just outside of film.

0:59:01.680 --> 0:59:05.200
<v Speaker 1>And ard more. Yeah, Okay, beautiful campus. I've been there

0:59:05.440 --> 0:59:07.880
<v Speaker 1>countless times. You know, anybody that went there, tons of

0:59:07.880 --> 0:59:10.320
<v Speaker 1>people that went to Villanova. Okay, all the people I

0:59:10.360 --> 0:59:12.200
<v Speaker 1>know are very, very nice. But it does have a

0:59:12.200 --> 0:59:12.960
<v Speaker 1>bit of a stigma.

0:59:13.720 --> 0:59:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So I want to say doctor Jane's husband went

0:59:17.040 --> 0:59:19.720
<v Speaker 2>to Villanova. I believe that's true. That's I think my

0:59:19.800 --> 0:59:20.440
<v Speaker 2>only connection.

0:59:20.960 --> 0:59:23.920

<v Speaker 1>about the months and weeks ahead.

1:00:07.680 --> 1:00:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and to close things out, Tie, just because he's

1:00:10.320 --> 1:00:12.919
<v Speaker 2>asked this question twice and I think it's it comes

1:00:12.960 --> 1:00:16.280
<v Speaker 2>from a good place. Travis asked if Benny Snell is

1:00:16.320 --> 1:00:20.160
<v Speaker 2>the best college football running back. I don't believe that's true.

1:00:20.200 --> 1:00:24.360
<v Speaker 2>Mark Schnell, Marchschnell great games, Tennessee All miss last year.

1:00:24.400 --> 1:00:27.520
<v Speaker 2>He was ejected the Music City Bowl. But Bryce Love

1:00:27.600 --> 1:00:30.960
<v Speaker 2>and Jonathan Taylor tailback and Harris ranch Over at Alabama

1:00:31.000 --> 1:00:36.240
<v Speaker 2>and JK. Dobbins Miles Gaskin all exist. So he's in

1:00:36.320 --> 1:00:38.760
<v Speaker 2>that group. He's in the like maybe not the eight tier,

1:00:38.800 --> 1:00:41.360
<v Speaker 2>but I think he is in of college footballs. If

1:00:41.360 --> 1:00:43.960
<v Speaker 2>you're talking about a good year of college football running backs,

1:00:44.160 --> 1:00:46.480
<v Speaker 2>you have to include Benny Snell in that conversation. How

1:00:46.480 --> 1:00:47.240
<v Speaker 2>about that?

1:00:47.240 --> 1:00:49.040
<v Speaker 1>That sounds like a good way to close out the show.

1:00:49.120 --> 1:00:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Dan done for that, go of there, Dan Rubinstein in

1:00:51.720 --> 1:00:54.040
