Speaker 1: a man, I'm forty.

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 2: I've heard so many players say, well I want to

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 2: be happy. You want to be happy for a day?

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: Ada State?

Speaker 1: Is that woo woom? And Dan and Tye welcome back

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: to the solid rebel boys and girls. My name is

8
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: ty Hildebrand. That fine gentleman over there, the one, the only, always,

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: the incomparable Dan Rubinstein. He flew back in from LA

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: to get back into the heart of the Midwest. Rushed yeah, Chicago, Illinois.

11
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: I flew in late yesterday to get to my home

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: here in eastern Pennsylvania to watch the National Championship between

13
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: Georgia and TCU and Dan Georgia one sixty five to seven.

14
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: In this game, I thought they were gonna hit seventy.

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: They had time to hit seventy if that was something

16
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: they were interested in. Alas they hit the over themselves

17
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: sixty five to seven. Your finals, sir, How you doing

18
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: this fine evening?

19
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: I'm all right and look I booked this flight thinking

20
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: I was going to rush home to cover in some

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 2: way remotely with you a competitive national championship game, and

22
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: to everybody going into this game, who said, look, man,

23
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: George is going to win this game going away. Nobody

24
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 2: thought sixty five to seven. If you were that person

25
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: who thought that, which of which there were many people,

26
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 2: you were probably up forty five seventeen, you know, thirty

27
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 2: eight thirteen something like that, were like, well, not really

28
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 2: all that competitive.

29
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: This was.

30
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 2: It was embarrassing. It was embarrassing in how simple. It's

31
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 2: not simple to play that level. I mean, even if

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: you have the players that Georgia has, the high level

33
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: players who are coached excellently and develop excellently. That it

34
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: was a run through in certain respects that I don't know.

35
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: I don't have stats in front. I mean, stats at

36
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: this point are not that important. You know, whether it's

37
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: nine yards of play, eleven yards of play, eight and

38
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: a half yards of play, it was easy. It was

39
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: not You have to respect how Georgia did this or

40
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: did that. It was even though it's hard, it was easy,

41
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: if that makes any sense. Because whether it was the

42
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: running game, whether it was brock Bauers, whether it was

43
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: actually good as I've been ringing this bell now for

44
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: years Stets and Bennett making plays that it's weird that

45
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 2: nobody else in the sport can consistently make as many

46
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: winning plays as Stets and Bennett, can they? I mean,

47
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: they had their national championship game last week, and it

48
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: was almost like this was the Pro Bowl, right that

49
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: this is just the walk through in a warm climate

50
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: of just like enjoying the spoils of your efforts.

51
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, well again, sixty five to seven the final score.

52
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: We ended our live stream early, it ran out of content.

53
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: I don't know how Fouler and Herbstreet did it. I

54
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: guess they're paid more to do it than you and I.

55
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was tough going there down stretch as

56
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: Georgia still maintain the upper hand despite having such a

57
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: huge lead. Look, if you're tuning in for the first time,

58
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: if maybe you just found us, I don't know, it's

59
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: late in the season. It's the last game of the season.

Speaker 1: just got I don't want to grave dance here. I know.

74
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,119
Speaker 1: TCU fans were certainly happy to be in this game.

75
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: They felt they had a chance. We did our show,

76
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: Our live show in l was a huge success. Thank

77
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: you so much to everybody who came out to the Troubadour.

78
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: It was a once in a lifetime experience for us.

79
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: We had Marshall Newhouse, TCU grad, former NFL lineman, eleven

80
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: year NFL veteran up on stage with us talking through

81
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: a little bit you'll hear that show on Thursday, a

82
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: little bit about why he thought TCU had a chance

83
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: in this game right, and the whole notion of playing

84
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: with house money, of being here, despite the fact that

85
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 1: nobody expected them to get to this championship game that

86
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: in and of itself was a national championship for TCU.

87
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: The fact that they made it this far in Sunny

88
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: Diykes's first year. The fact that some of the veterans

89
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: on this team got a taste of a game of

90
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: this magnitude in the playoff stage. All of these things

91
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: I think are gravy for the TCU program. The problem

92
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: was severely overmatched in this game. Severely overmatched in this game.

93
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: It was not a Michigan situation, Dan. It was not

94
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: a situation where they got a few breaks early and

95
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: when up big early and took Georgia out of its

96
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: game early and made them adjust.

97
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 2: Right.

98
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: That's what happened in Michigan in that game, and it

99
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: worked really, really well. It did not happen at all

100
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: in this game against Georgia. Georgia went up early, TCU

101
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: got one touchdown, but then from that point forward completely

102
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: shut out, completely shut out. Georgia just kept getting stronger.

103
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: They maintained possession, they were creating more havoc plays, they

104
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: were stopping more on defense, obviously winning the turnover battle

105
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: for to nil. Pretty much every stat you can possibly imagine,

106
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: any which way you might want to dice and slice

107
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: and figure out a path forward for TCU, all of

108
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: those things were shut down by what felt like midway

109
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: through the second quarter. This game was over almost before

110
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: it started.

111
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: They did it against LSU, they did it against Tennessee.

112
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 2: They did it against Oregon quality teams, teams who otherwise

113
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 2: prove themselves to be quality. They did it against the

114
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 2: SEC West champion in LSU. They did it against at

115
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: the time, the most lethal offense in America. They completely

116
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 2: squashed them that game as an Athens, of course. They

117
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: did it to open the season against the team, a

118
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 2: team who would acquit itself really well and have an

119
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: extraordinarily efficient offense in a different conference, of course. And

120
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 2: this is who Georgia is. And much like my reaction

121
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: after that Oregon game to open the season, Georgia's season

122
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: was bookended by playing against teams who did not belong

123
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: in the same stadium. Okay, I'm saying that about the

124
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: team that I cherish, that I root for, and I'm

125
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: saying that about a team in TCU that I enjoyed

126
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 2: watching all season long, who was excite, who played exciting football,

127
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: who finished games in exciting fashion. When you look at

128
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: their schedule, they didn't belong in was SOFI stadium, right,

129
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: They just they did not. They were not playing the

130
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: same sport. For lack of a better way of putting it.

131
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: So what Georgia was able to do wire to wire

132
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 2: and your favorite phrase limb from limb against tc.

133
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a Dan phrase, but I'm happy to take credit.

134
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: Oh okay, you can take it to Georgia's practices against

135
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 2: their scout team. The third string freshmen have to be

136
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 2: more challenging than some of the defenses some of the

137
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: teams they played this year, and so that they were

138
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: so casually excellent when they were up for the game.

139
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: Whatever you want to say about the Kentucky game or

140
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 2: the Missouri game or whatever, the first half of Kent State,

141
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: I guess if you go back that far, Georgia is

142
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,119
Speaker 2: just playing a different sport than one hundred and twenty

143
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: seven teams. It's Ohio State, it's Alabama, It's Georgia, and

144
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 2: that's kind of it. It's not Michigan, right, it's and

145
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 2: so there was nothing TCU could have done in this

146
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: game differently, And george is just not going to make

147
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: the mistakes that Michigan made last week. Georgia is not

148
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: going to make the mistake of not closing TCU out

149
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: when certain Big twelve teams had the chance to do

150
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 2: so They're not going to make the mistake of a

151
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: team like Texas who fully came defensively to beat TCU

152
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 2: and couldn't mount anything on offense. There's so much more

153
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 2: complete than anybody TCU faces. And I don't know if

154
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: that's an SEC thing. I don't know if that's just

155
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: a Big twelve thing at the moment with where the

156
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: conference is, with you know, Oklahoma turning over the way

157
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 2: it has, with Texas unable to get back to where

158
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 2: it sees itself. But there is something about and this

159
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: is a broader topic than this game, but like there

160
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 2: is no measuring stick for TCU to prepare for a

161
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 2: game like this. Whereas Georgia has its own practices, they

162
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 2: have Alabama, they have teams as talented as LSU generally is,

163
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: as Auburn generally is, and TCU doesn't have a schedule

164
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 2: in that stratosphere from a pure talent perspective, they just don't.

165
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: The margin of victory for Georgia is second only to

166
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: the Vanderbilt game. They built beat Vanderbilt fifty five to

167
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: nothing way back when in Week seven. Obviously, the Georgia

168
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: Orgie game, which you mentioned in Week one was a

169
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: bit of a massacre as well, forty nine to total,

170
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: but sixty five to seven. There there was a moment

171
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: a time where this looked like it was going to

172
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: get to seventy. They Georgia had the ball with about

173
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: seven minutes and fifty three seconds left. They were moving

174
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: the ball at will, and if they wanted to hit seventy,

175
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: they wanted to hit eighty, they probably could have in

176
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: this game with the way that it that it went.

177
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: They just met no resistance from the TCU defense and

178
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: with the TCUs the TCU offense unable to really move

179
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: the football with any great ability. That it just limited

180
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: the whole thing they were.

181
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 2: That's sixty yard broken play, right, that was it.

182
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: That was the only play pretty much.

183
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 2: That was the Knight's offense.

184
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: That was it. That was it. Clinton Johnston, we talked

185
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: a lot about Quinton Johnston going into this football game.

186
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: One catch for three yar yards. The book was out

187
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: on Quinton Johnston. Kirby Smart knew it. We knew it.

188
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: Kendrey Miller didn't play in this game. The running back

189
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: for TCU, Amario de Mercado, did play four point two

190
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: yards per carry, but it wasn't any kind of game

191
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: changing effort. Obviously, if you look at the score, you

192
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: know as much. And I mentioned it earlier. The turnover

193
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: margin for nothing for to zero in favor of Georgia.

194
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 2: Started right away. And honestly, what would the score of

195
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 2: this game been without those four turnovers? Getting punts instead

196
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: of fumbles there or interception forty two to seven, you know,

197
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: fifty five, It doesn't matter. It's the exact same game.

198
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: So I think if you're a TCU fan that the

199
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: takeaway is this to get to this game. I still

200
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: believe you're playing with house money. I still believe there

201
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: is a a an element of this. You're happy to

202
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: be there. This is a big deal for this program.

203
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: With a new coach. You can use this as a

204
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 1: recruiting tool. You can and tell kids out on the road, hey,

205
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: we are a few playmakers away from really giving this

206
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 1: thing a serious shot. We need you on campus. But

207
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 1: the ceiling is, the ceiling is very high for TCU

208
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: football in this new rendition now under Sunny Dikes. They've

209
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: got great facilities. There's a lot to like about the

210
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: state of TCU football, and I think a lot of

211
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: reason to be excited about where things stand.

212
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 2: There doesn't a result like this, doesn't it at a

213
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 2: certain level, it enters your brain. It has to. If

214
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 2: you're saying it doesn't, you're lying. Doesn't it enter your brain?

215
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: The futility of being TCU. I felt it as an

216
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 2: Oregon fan, where it's just like, no matter what TCU

217
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 2: does these next five years, seven years of sunny dikes.

218
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 2: If Kirby Smart is at Georgia and locked in, if

219
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 2: Ryan Day is at Ohio State and locked in, if

220
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 2: Nick Saban is at Alabama and locked in, maybe it's

221
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 2: thirty five thirteen, right, there's nothing TCU can do to

222
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 2: meaningfully close that gap. And this is not me lamenting

223
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 2: the realities of the top of the sport. It's me saying,

224
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: let's enjoy other parts of the sport a little bit

225
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 2: more when we have those opportunities in October and November.

226
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: But you watch that game, and it's the depth, it's

227
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 2: the waves, it's the experience, it's the comfort, it's the

228
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: intuition on both sides of the ball. Where George's playing

229
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 2: against air on a certain level, right that brock Bauers,

230
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: whether he's lining up against Tennessee TCU, Oregon whoever, he's

231
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: just getting his There's an inevitability about football at the

232
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: top that when they're not playing each other, it's just

233
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: a shrug and that's how it goes kind of thing.

234
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it is a shrug. I mean, brock Bauer

235
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: is seven for one fifty two in a touchdown. Lad

236
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: McConkey a name we hadn't even mentioned. Yeah, sure, what

237
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: his status would be. He's been beat up since the

238
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: SEC title game five eighty eight and two touchdowns eighty

239
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: Mitchell caught a called one pass for a touchdown twenty

240
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: two yarder. Steat's and Bennett by the way, I mean,

241
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: we can get into stets In Bennett and talk about

242
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,599
Speaker 1: what his legacy is. But six total touchdowns if you

243
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: count the two that he ran for in the four

244
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: that he threw. But just to close the loop on

245
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: all things, TCU look to get to this point, to

246
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: get to this game, clearly nobody expected it at the

247
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: start of the season. It is certainly a testament to

248
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: what Sonny Dykes did very quickly to organize the troops.

249
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: It is a testament to the veteran unit that the

250
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: Horned Frogs have on their side that helped get them

251
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: here through thick and thin. It was not easy this season.

252
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: It was not easy. There were many chances to lose,

253
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: and I think really just by sheer force of will,

254
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: they were able to get into a situation like this,

255
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: to get into this game. So kudos to them on

256
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,479
Speaker 1: a great season. But they were overmatched. They were overmatched.

257
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: They got completely dominated by a team that was better.

258
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: And I can't even say that that's a black guy

259
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: for the tea program. Nobody wants to lose sixty five

260
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: to seven. But it was a hell the year for TCU,

261
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 1: and they went up against a team that was better

262
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: and was prepared, and more importantly, was not bored. They

263
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: were not bored to be in this situation as we

264
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: saw against what Missouri some of these other teams that

265
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: Georgia played earlier in the year, when we questioned where

266
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: they were at as a program, Are they losing steam?

267
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: Are they vulnerable? They like they got better down the stretch,

268
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: whereas other teams maybe started to show some of their

269
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: true colors.

270
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're also here because Ohio State couldn't play

271
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: four quarters against Michigan, right that certain things had to

272
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 2: happen with these top flight teams. These top flight programs

273
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 2: who know how to build up to this point but

274
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 2: have trouble sustaining. Can't be said about Georgia, right. The

275
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 2: step back Alabama's taken on defense at times, the step

276
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: back Ohio State's taken in those tough, high leverage moments

277
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: at times. Whatever the hell Dabo Sweeney's trying or not

278
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: trying to do it Clemson as the Tigers kind of

279
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 2: fade into the background of this conversation, right, USC's complete

280
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: ignorance of defense. Right, they may have had a championship

281
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 2: offense this year, and probably not. I don't think the

282
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: line and the running game were there, but they did

283
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 2: something on a championship level. They just played defense on

284
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 2: a mac championship level. So I just it's frustrating that

285
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: we have a Georgia team that it's very simple for

286
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 2: all of us to say, well, they have the best players,

287
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 2: they're getting the best results.

288
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

289
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: Right, they did it with a walk on who left

290
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 2: to play junior college at quarterback. All of their players

291
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 2: get better, and they're the team who constantly fields five

292
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 2: top five classes and turns them into NFL draft picks

293
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 2: who win games going away. If it were just easy enough,

294
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 2: to recruit great talented four and five star players and

295
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: turn them into championship caliber teams year and in year out.

296
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: We'd be having conversations about football in college station. We'd

297
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 2: be like, well, if Stetsan Benni can do it, then obviously,

298
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 2: if if that's the blueprint, then Haines King or Max Johnson,

299
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: these former blue chip guys and not for you know,

300
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 2: that don't mean for Texas A and M to be

301
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: taking strays here. It is always fun though. They would

302
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 2: be neck and neck right. They would be throwing it

303
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: to Moose Mouhammad and Evan Stewart and handing it off

304
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 2: to Devin ah Chane behind a blue chip line with

305
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 2: all these five star defensive linemen, and they would be

306
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 2: just like a push pull from the west to the east.

307
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: And oh my god, Alabama one year, A and M

308
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 2: another year, Texas another year, and the big that's not

309
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: the reality. We have to maybe be grudgingly as a

310
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: community say, maybe Kirby Smart is an excellent coach, maybe

311
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: he hires an excellent staff, and maybe that's why the

312
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 2: best players want to go to there to learn how

313
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 2: to play football on a high level and not just

314
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: you know, become a top flight star player individually, but

315
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 2: not win ten games every year, like you actually have

316
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 2: to be great at Georgia. And so it's it's a

317
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 2: tough night for people who look at the sport and

318
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 2: look at these top teams as saying like, well, you know,

319
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 2: give Kirby Smart Col's rot. Kirby Smart would win a

320
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 2: ton of games at Cal, he would. I don't always

321
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 2: winning national championships, but like, at a certain point you

322
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: have to give these guys their due as being better

323
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 2: and more excellent than everybody else. And it's not just

324
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 2: a recruiting class thing.

325
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: And that brings me to the next point that I

326
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: was going to set up for you, because I know

327
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: it's something you've been actually quite passionate about. Yeah, this season,

328
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: Stetson Bennett, Stetson Bennett. The story is Stetson Bennett is won.

329
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: That well, that will echo on in perpetuity in the

330
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: halls of Georgia high school football or Georgia University proper.

331
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: It will be talked about in sports media circles for

332
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: the rest of our natural lives. But Stetson Bennett as

333
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: a walk on Stetson Bennett as somebody who, as they said,

334
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: on the broadcast. Always wanted to be quarterback at Georgia

335
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: Stetson Bennett, who was counted out by many folks, right,

336
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: counted out by many folks. Even after he won the

337
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 1: national championship. Folks out there didn't necessarily want him back,

338
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: wanted to try and move on. Stetson Bennett twenty five

339
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: and on campus and now wins his second national championship

340
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: with the Georgia Bulldogs. Of course, broke the draft last year,

341
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: comes back this season repeats. He accounted for six touchdowns

342
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: in this game, four through the air, two with his

343
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: legs on the ground. He was a master distributor of

344
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: the football, not just in this game but all throughout

345
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: the year. Obviously it helped in this one that the

346
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: line kept him upright. There wasn't much pressure to speak

347
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: of on the TCU front. It was pitch and catch

348
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: out there. He could pick his spots. He did with Appham,

349
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: as they say, two rock Bowers to Laba, Honky, Ady

350
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: Mitchell and some others. But you have been beating the

351
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: drum for a while. Stetson Bennett is capital A, actually

352
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: capital G. Good.

353
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's really really good. I mean he was invited

354
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 2: to New York for a reason. He's the best quarterback

355
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 2: in Georgia football history, all due respect to you know,

356
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: if you want to go back to Fran Darkin and

357
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 2: Tarkenton in the fifties, like, there are a lot of

358
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 2: dudes who were taller and projected better as NFL quarterbacks,

359
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 2: But when it came to actually producing winning plays, I'm

360
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 2: not Wins are not a quarterback stat, right, this is

361
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 2: a team stat. But he produced more winning plays more

362
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 2: often than any Georgia quarterback I can remember. George has

363
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 2: largely been a very very talented team in my lifetime,

364
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 2: not on this level. But Stetson Bennett did what other

365
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 2: quarterbacks surrounded by a crazy amount of blue chip talent.

366
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 2: Whether you want to look at this year, the last

367
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 2: five years, the last ten years, he's successful because a

368
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 2: higher percentage of his plays are winning plays more often.

369
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 2: And so stets And Bennett is good. You want to

370
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 2: look at his NFL you want to look at no,

371
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. Doesn't matter if you live in in reality,

372
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 2: if you live in this universe in which we live,

373
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 2: stets And Bennett is excellent. He's not tall enough, he's

374
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 2: not fast enough, his arm isn't strong enough.

375
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: But he's better.

376
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 2: And it's not just about Georgia quarterbacks. He's better than

377
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 2: just about every modern quarterback who's played college football because

378
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 2: his results and I'm not again not talking about wins.

379
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 2: His results, how often he is throwing successful passes and

380
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: leading successful teams with his own play is better than

381
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 2: ninety nine percent of quarterbacks elsewhere. He plays against tough

382
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 2: teams and he makes tough plays. Stets and Bennett Is

383
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,479
Speaker 2: we fall back to the narrative of him being like

384
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 2: this system guy who's just sort of a game manager

385
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 2: or whatever. I don't I don't know who I'm referring

386
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 2: to when I say people refer to him as that.

387
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 2: All I'm saying is he makes plays. He makes plays

388
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 2: more often. He's really good. And because he was a

389
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 2: walk on, because he was the j C guy, people

390
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 2: look at him as that cute story because he wore

391
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 2: you know, the postman's hat. People like, oh, that's yeah,

392
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 2: he's a fun little story. You know, came in. But

393
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 2: then J. T. Daniels took his place, but he was

394
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 2: gritty enough to hang around. No, no, no, he's better. He's

395
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 2: better than all of them. He's better than all of them.

396
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 2: But playing quarterback in college football. And that's incredible, and

397
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: we just need to put this to rest that he

398
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,959
Speaker 2: is an excellent quarterback surrounded by excellent people.

399
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: Eighteen of twenty five for three h four and four touchdowns,

400
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: it's an average of twelve point two yards, which is

401
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: which is incredible. This is a good game doing what

402
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: he does.

403
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 2: Is that easy?

404
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: Then others would do it.

405
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 2: If you started Facebook, then you would have started Facebook, right,

406
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 2: it's the same idea.

407
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no interceptions, A clean game for for stets

408
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: in ben Georgia has a team rushed for about two

409
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: fifty five touchdowns on the ground, so they maintain their

410
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 1: dominance in the line of scrimmage. They've been doing that

411
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: all season long. It should come as no great surprise.

412
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: But the fact they did it in the manner that

413
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: they did here help them control the football game. If

414
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: you kind of get rid of that lash drive in

415
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: this football game, which was in effect the clock killing drive.

416
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: Just to get this thing over with, Georgia scored on

417
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: something like all but one of their drives, ten of

418
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: eleven drives, something crazy in this football game. So it

419
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: really was not a matter of TCU just having any

420
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 1: recourse to stop this Georgia offense. They were just very,

421
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: very solid. One of the stats that I like to

422
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: look at is stop rate. It's a defensive stat, just

423
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: measures how often is defense getting off the field. Four

424
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 1: percent for TCU as opposed to like seventy five percent

425
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: on the Georgia side. So therein lies something of the

426
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: problem for the Horned Frogs in this matchup. Just couldn't

427
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 1: get off the field. Georgia just had too much for him.

428
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: Couldn't get pretro On stetson Bennett, could not stop the

429
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: rushing attack. Kind of a multi system failure for TCU. Again,

430
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: great they got here, but they were clearly overmatched.

431
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 2: Dan, Yeah, I mean not great for us if we

432
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 2: wanted a good game, like, we.

433
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 1: Did a stream. We did the stream for folks who

434
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: listened to this show. You know, you probably saw the tweets,

435
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 1: You probably saw something or another that we did the stream.

436
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: We did the stream on discord forballers dot com, where

437
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,479
Speaker 1: you can go and sign up for the Patreon if

438
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: you're ever so inclined. We did that about a half

439
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: hour before we went live publicly out on YouTube, and

440
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: there were some concerns even at that point that the

441
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: game was over We were only a bit into the

442
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: first quarter, and you can start to pick up the

443
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: vibes like, okay, kind of say, I've seen this play before, right, right,

444
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: We've seen this before. And then we went live and

445
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: then things came off the swivel, not before we talked

446
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: to Adam Aman, not before we talked to our friend

447
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: Aary Wasserman. But yeah, we had to end it early

448
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: because it just we ran out of content. Man, there's

449
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: nothing to talk about this game.

450
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 2: Did you think it all about alternate paths, alternate universes?

451
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 2: Like I mentioned with like if Ohio State doesn't you know,

452
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 2: fold as a mentally tiny team in the second half

453
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 2: of that Michigan game at home, do you think about,

454
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 2: you know, if TCU loses or doesn't get that kick

455
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 2: through against Baylor. Okay, they're gonna lose twice and nd

456
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 2: up in another game, but they still end the season

457
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 2: on a high note, presumably, you know, maybe winning a

458
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 2: bowl game or losing to Alabama in a more respectable

459
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 2: way or something like that. I guess maybe in that

460
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 2: world Alabama makes the playoff. But ye, it's a shame

461
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 2: that TCU, for as good a season as they had.

462
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 2: This is the stain on it that. Sure they lose

463
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 2: at the gun to Kansas State in the Big Twelve

464
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,719
Speaker 2: Championship game, but Kansas State was a good team. TCU

465
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 2: was a good team. They played each other close once before,

466
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 2: and it just made sense that you know that game

467
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 2: would be a close one that comes down to the wire,

468
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 2: and that we have TCU going out with this unbelievably

469
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 2: quiet whimper after such a fun year. That it's just

470
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 2: the way the playoff is going to be sometimes that

471
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 2: people are going to back into it, and we know

472
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 2: going in that like, well, they had to come back

473
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 2: against Texas Tech and Kansas and they're probably not a

474
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 2: team befitting of a reputation of giving somebody a really

475
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: hard time. But then they beat Michigan and they erase

476
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 2: that narrative, even if they kind of take advantage of

477
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 2: unusual opportunities, let's call it against Michigan. I mean, the

478
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 2: pick sixes is something they generated. That's good football, but

479
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 2: it's a tough way to finish out such a glorious

480
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 2: year for the Frogs. That changes the narrative a bit.

481
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily prone to going back and playing the

482
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: what if game. I am happy we got to see

483
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:53,239
Speaker 1: Ohio State versus Georgia. Definitely, that was a game that

484
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: you know this, I mean we talked about at the

485
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: beginning of the year. That was a game that I

486
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: wanted to see all along. I wanted to see what

487
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: would happen in that game, and we got our money's

488
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: worth in that game. It was. That was a really

489
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: good game, and nobody saw TCU coming. But the fact

490
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: that we got Michigan TCU in and of itself was

491
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: pretty cool. That was a cool upset story for the

492
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: folks out there who aren't Michigan fans, or aren't Ohio

493
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: State fans, or aren't Georgia fans, just people who wanted

494
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: to see an upset and wanted a team to root for.

495
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: So I think on that level was a success. The

496
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: fact that we got two good games on New Year's

497
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: Eve was really cool, and that was a boon in

498
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: some sense for the playoff not playing the games of

499
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve. But we can save that discussion for

500
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: another day. The fact that we got this game, yes,

501
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: on some level embarrassing for TCU. If you're a fan,

502
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 1: these are the easier ones to deal with because it

503
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: was over very quickly. It wasn't a gut punch that

504
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: you got at the at the gun, right like Ohio

505
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: State did against Georgia. This was this was a quick death.

506
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: So as a fan, you kind of I think you

507
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: had a chance to process this thing in real time

508
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,719
Speaker 1: and by the time the final gun sounded you were okay.

509
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: I hope you were okay. There's also no great shame

510
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: in losing badly to Georgia, because there are many teams

511
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: that have lost badly to Georgia, maybe not on this stage.

512
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: But I don't think that's a huge black guy for

513
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: the program, because the real win for TCU is the

514
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: fact that they got here at all. The fact that

515
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: they got here at all is the big win for

516
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: the program. That's something they can use to build moving forward.

517
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: If you win, that's gravy, that's incredible, that's the story

518
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: of the year. But getting to this game in the

519
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 1: manner that they did it was an exciting season. They've

520
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 1: got a lot to be proud of.

521
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 2: It's undeniably awful for college football, though, right if this

522
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 2: is the night of the year for the sport and

523
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 2: you're giving me sixty five to seven, because the national

524
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 2: championship is not the super Bowl. It's not a cultural event.

525
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 2: They want it to be.

526
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: They're trying to make it that, but it's they're trying

527
00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: to make it that. They're trying to make it the

528
00:27:59,560 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: super Bowl.

529
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 2: The sport into some sort of hybrid between the super

530
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 2: Bowl and the NCAA tournament, right where it's like the

531
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 2: pseudo small bespoke tournament, and you get a Monday night thing.

532
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 2: You know, you have the Oscars forever and ever on

533
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 2: Monday night. You have a super Bowl on Sunday. They're

534
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 2: trying to make this Monday night thing in New Year's

535
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 2: thing a thing to not just to not just college

536
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 2: football fans, right that they're going to these big NFL

537
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 2: stadiums and these big cities and they're like, this is

538
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 2: the college football National Championship, and then you deliver this.

539
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,719
Speaker 2: You deliver this bright, shining example of the fact that

540
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 2: there are five and a half teams who can win

541
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 2: a game like this any given year, and sometimes a

542
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 2: team like LSU with seventeen high NFL caliber receivers and

543
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 2: an accidental number one overhaul pit quarterback can stumble into

544
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 2: this game. But it's also been a team that can

545
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 2: recruit on a pretty impressive level consistently, and then you

546
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 2: deliver this though and the reality of the sport existing

547
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 2: for six five and a half, eight seven three, whatever

548
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 2: your number is teams in a way that is not

549
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 2: the reality for ninety seven point two percent. It's not

550
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 2: a great look for the sport that is, And I

551
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 2: don't care if it's I don't care if it's a

552
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 2: bad look for mainstream sports fans. I don't care that much.

553
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 2: But the intent of the sport is to build around,

554
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 2: not competition, not geographic and cultural traditions. TV. We want

555
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 2: TV TV TV TV TV TV TV. And then you

556
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 2: build up to this TV moment Herr. Fox is grabbing

557
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 2: everything for the big ten Horr. Disney's grabbing everything for

558
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 2: the SEC. Let's build up to this big TV sports

559
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 2: and then you give us garbage, garbage that nobody wants

560
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 2: to watch for longer than eight minutes. Good job, everybody,

561
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 2: it really fell flat. Great job.

562
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: We had Arion ye in uh I guess the he

563
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: was our second guest, so the early part of the

564
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: second half or around halftime, and he was like, yeah,

565
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: I can go write my column early. Yeah, of course

566
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: I can go write my column early. Because we all

567
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: knew what was what was going to be the conclusion

568
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: of this. Yeah, it's not great for college football. No,

569
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: if you're a fan, you want you want close games.

570
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: As Andy Staples said on the previous show he did

571
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: in the Moving Van, you never had three good playoff games,

572
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: let alone two. So it felt far fetched to him

573
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: that maybe this would be a close one that we

574
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: would be blessed with another like really close, awesome matchup.

575
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: It's not great if you're a casual fan out there

576
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: that doesn't have a rooting interest in only.

577
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 2: Which, by the way, casual fans are important. I know

578
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 2: people use that term in a derisive way. I think

579
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 2: those references are pretty short sighted and dumb. Yeah, I

580
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 2: mean that's what you need people to watch your sport

581
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 2: and pay for your sport if you want your sport

582
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 2: to grow well.

583
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: And my point with that is just that those are

584
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: the people that you're in some sense trying to win

585
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: over that you meant to be. If you're of the

586
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: belief that college football is going to be this TV

587
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: sport that's going to make a ton of money and

588
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: it's TV, yeah, thank you. If you're of that belief,

589
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: you need those folks to like take more of an

590
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: interest in college football, watch more of college football. You

591
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: see sixty five to seven, they're not going to watch

592
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: a whole lot of it. We watched it only because

593
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: we had to. There were people who were dropping in

594
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: and off the stream that they had better things to

595
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: do tonight, of course, so it's not good for the sport.

596
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: It's definitely not an advertisement for watching more college football

597
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: if you're not inclined to watch a ton of it anyway.

598
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: But sixty five to seven dead.

599
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 2: Well, it's the other thing is too And I don't

600
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 2: think it's just going to extend to sports fans who

601
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 2: are moderately interested in college football, but it's going to

602
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 2: extend to college football fans too, and happy to be

603
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 2: wrong about this tie. There's going to be a certain

604
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 2: period of novelty to twelve teams in a playoff, and

605
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 2: then after three years, two years, four years, you're going

606
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 2: to tune in to see, all right, who's in the

607
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 2: playoff this year and be like, oh, Wisconsin, Alabama, I

608
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 2: wonder what's going to happen, Georgia, Washington. I wonder what's

609
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 2: going to happen? You know, Ohio State, Oregon or I

610
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 2: guess Oregon just beat Ohio State. So that's a bad example,

611
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 2: but it's that kind of thing where it's just like, oh,

612
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 2: it's cool that we have all these games in January,

613
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 2: and more teams get a chance at it, and then

614
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 2: you're going to see a semi final or quarter final

615
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 2: and you're going to remember, oh, yeah, TCU Georgia. Oh right,

616
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 2: And so that's the problem. That's the problem that the

617
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 2: sport wants to be something that it isn't. It's a

618
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 2: conversation for another day, but this was probably the brightest

619
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 2: four kist example of it yet.

620
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: Well again, sixty five to seven was your final score.

621
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: Stetson Bennett the most outstanding player in this game. Six

622
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: total touchdowns. His legacy is going to be just bronze forever,

623
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: Georgia legend.

624
00:32:58,520 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 2: He's an icon.

625
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: Guys will let and we joke about the car dealerships

626
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: and being undersized and being a walk on and wearing

627
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: the post manhat, but all those things aside within a

628
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: college football since he's had a great run here over

629
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: two years, as have the Georgia Bulldogs. Congratulations to them,

630

00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: that George is number one going into next season. Sure,

635
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:35,800

657
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: we do and for college football. We would not be

658
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: here doing this late on a Monday evening without them,

659
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: without their support, and so I just want to give

660

Speaker 1: a shout out to everybody who has supported us out there,

661
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: definitely on Patreon, even if not on Patreon, the people

662
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: who have listened throughout the course of the season. It

663
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: was a great season of college football. There will be

664
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: times for the post wartem and we can go through

665
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: and we could talk about who fell short of expectations,

666
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: who exceeded expectations, what is the broad arc of this

667
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: season that will take with us into twenty twenty three

668
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:24,320
Speaker 1: and beyond. But for my money, a really really fun

669
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: season with a ton of wackiness, a ton of stuff

670
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: that makes college football the best sport in the world.

671
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: And I'm just excited that we got to do this

672
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: for another year. This is a cool thing that we

673
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: get to do so thank you one and all.

674
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,919

675
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 2: a show in LA trying to find and figuring out

676
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 2: who the One True Champion is, I guess it makes

677
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 2: sense to officially say that it's the Jack Rabbits of

678
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 2: South Dakota State. People.

679
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:52,279

Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they almost beat Iowa, right, almost beat Iowa.

681
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 2: They fully comfortably beat North Dakota State. Big.

682
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 1: That was a big deal of that game. By the way,

683

Speaker 1: live show, the One True Champion show that we did

694
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: live at the Troubadour. Still can't believe the Troubadour let

695
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: us in great, but the Trubadour people were super chill

696
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 1: and very cool and accommodating and helpful and helped us

697
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,160

702
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 2: Tye compared Alabama's losses to Jonah Hill dropping an iced coffee.
