1
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: Man, what a while weekend. The Saint Helen's The Mount

2
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: Saint Helen's Twitter account started going back and forth with me.

3
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: I don't want to get any more specific than that,

4
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: and then the Belichick interview just has me in shambles

5
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: and the interest of promoting for the company. CBS had

6
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: a wide arranging conversation with Bill Belichick this morning, and

7
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: I don't know how to describe it. You just need

8
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: to go find it. After the show's over. You need

9
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: to go find it. I tried three different times to

10
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: watch it in its entirety. I couldn't make it. I'm

11
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: allergic to cringe, so I couldn't make it. But some

12
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: of you may be able to. And if you do,

13
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: send me a scouting report on it. I've got mine.

14
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: I want to see yours. We're jam packed hi atap

15
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: a pretty chaotic downtown Nashville, Tennessee. All things considered, bachelorette

16
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: parties every thirty feet. NFL Draft is in the rearview mirror.

17
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: I think it taught us a lot about ourselves, guys

18
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: and girls. I think it taught us, you know, a

19
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: lot about the ways of the world, and how some

20
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: of the ways of that football world haven't changed as

21
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: much as the casuals amongst us told you they had changed.

22
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: Were brought to you by Academy Sports and Outdoors, so

23
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that. It's not an NFL show, it's

24
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: college football show. But as is usually the case, there

25
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: are plenty of college football I don't know Tilts if

26
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: you will, from the NFL Draft, and everyone's got to

27
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: take on the Shador Sanders thing. I do too, I'll

28
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: talk to you about it. A lot of people are

29
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: running their mouth about Quinn yours. I've got some things

30
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: to say about that. And then again, I was already

31
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: going to talk about that on this show because that

32
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: went about the way I anticipated it would. What I

33
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: did not anticipate, but what I am still prepared to

34
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: discuss is James Franklin getting into it with his own

35
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: fan base up in State College. It's going to be

36
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: a disagreeable show tonight. I'm warning you. You and I

37
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: have disagreed in the past, and judging by how I

38
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: think our audience will go on a majority of the

39
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: topics in this show tonight versus the way I know

40
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go, I will have some disagreements with you guys.

41
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: We will keep it civil as usual. We believe in

42
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: free speech on the campus of Pate State, and boy

43
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: are we gonna exercise it tonight. Also, the transfer portals

44
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: closed and I've got some well actually several takeaways on that,

45
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: like ten takeaways, So we got a jam pack show.

46
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: We're a little earlier than usual tonight because I have

47
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: to travel for reasons I will spell out momentarily. They're

48
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: watching us in Conrod, Texas, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Sylvester, Georgia, Medford, Oregon.

49
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: Big few days coming for the Pate State Speaker Series.

50
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: I'll be on the road Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of

51
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: this week. We'll have our show Thursday night at same

52
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: time as usual, but I will be tomorrow. Actually, I

53
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: will be somewhere that we've never been before. I'll I'll

54
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: be on a campus I've never been on before, and

55
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: I will be sitting down with the coach that we've

56
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: never sat down with before. It's not Belichick. So follow

57
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: at Josh pa CFB on the Socials. The interview will

58
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: eventually air on the channel, but if you want a

59
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: little sneak peek and some behind the scenes goings on,

60
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: it's always a good time a year to be following

61
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: on the socials. Okay, so there's that, here's this. The

62
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: NFL Draft just happened, and there's so much you can

63
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: take away from just a college football perspective. Of course,

64
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: you've got the mot drafts and who's went up in

65
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: flames and the stuff about Shador and all that. Yes,

66
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: everyone's talking about that. But I want to ask you this.

67
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: I don't know where your mind went watching the draft,

68
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: but here's where mine went. There's the way we want

69
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: college football to be, utopian style, and then there's the

70
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: way college football is. Right. So I ask you this,

71
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: how are we supposed to talk about this sport right now?

72
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: Forget about the way you want it. The way we

73
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: want it may not necessarily be the way it is

74
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: right now, but we are looking at a landscape that's

75
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: got to change, frankly, one way or the other. It's

76
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: either got to speed up further down the road it's

77
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: already on, or it's got to back up and let's

78
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: reverse course from the road we've gone down. Because right now,

79
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: you don't have a sport. You got a couple of conferences.

80
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: And if we want to stop pretending that there are

81
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: one hundred plus teams playing the same caliber of football,

82
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: and we want to acknowledge that the SEC and the

83
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: Big Ten are their own level of the sport, and

84
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,679
Speaker 1: then we divide up accordingly and we have a post

85
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: season format accordingly. Okay, but we're kidding ourselves if we

86
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: continue to go down this road, the power for road,

87
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: if you will, there is no power for Not that

88
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: anyone went into this weekend with that grand illusion, but

89
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft just slapped us in the face again

90
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: with a reminder that there's the way you may want

91
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: it to be, but then there's the way it is,

92
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: and the way it is is the SEC and the

93
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: Big Ten. I can't believe this is real. Just had

94
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty out of the two hundred and

95
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: fifty seven picks in the draft. And it gets even

96
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: worse once you focus on the microscope on the first round.

97
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: Mind boggling, number twenty six of thirty two first round

98
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: draft picks were from the SEC or Big Ten. Both

99
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: of them set respective conference records with how many kids

100
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: they had drafted. The SEC just had seventy nine picked,

101
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: the Big Ten had seventy one, So those are both

102
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: conference records. Now, I had some of you who spoke

103
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: up and you said, well, Josh, uh duh, now that

104
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: the SEC has Texas and OU and now that the

105
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: Big ten is loaded up on Oregon, USC and what not,

106
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: of course they're going to have more picks. I know.

107
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: That's the point. And then somebody else, in fact several

108
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: someone else's said, well, yeah, Josh, but a lot of

109
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: those draft picks didn't get recruited by those schools they

110
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: transferred there. Yes, that's also the point. The sport has

111
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: not calibrated itself, by the way, in any shape, form

112
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: or fashion, the way that the Portal truthers told you

113
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: it would or the nil truthers told you it would.

114
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: On that in a little while, the peanut butter, it

115
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: did get spread out a little bit more, but it's

116
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: just on two pieces of toast, and maybe Miami's little

117
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: piece over here and Clemson's little piece of Notre Dame's piece,

118
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: but by and large, it's just two pieces of toast.

119
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: That's where all the peanut butter is right now. But

120
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: go back to the point where we're just making so

121
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: a bunch of you are listening to this or watching

122
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: this right now who do not like the way the

123
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: sport's going. And you think I'm arguing with you, Oh

124
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm with you. I despise the current setup

125
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: of this sport, just candidly. I love the sport. I

126
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: despise that there's this much of the oxygen taken out

127
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,799
Speaker 1: of the room by two conferences. Con fry the plural

128
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: of conference will work on that one. I don't like it.

129
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: But then again, when we get into the live bullets

130
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: aspects of the regular season, it's not time to worry

131
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: about what you prefer. And when you talk about how

132
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs should play out, I at least don't look

133
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: at it and say this thing should be structured to

134
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: make me feel good. When we're determining strength of schedule,

135
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: we shouldn't rely on a calculation that provides me a

136
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: result that makes me feel good. That's not the way

137
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: I look at the sport. So whether I like it

138
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: or not, you got to call it as it is

139
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: once the season gets here. And so the NFL Draft,

140
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: to me hammered home a couple of points again. The

141
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: first one is strength of schedule interpretation is broken in

142
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: college football. And there's another glaring example here of what

143
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: we often say on this show. One of the biggest

144
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: lies in all of American sports is in college football

145
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: when anyone says you are what your record says you are.

146
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: So let me give you a real world NFL draft

147
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: version of that rule. Florida was a seven and five

148
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: team in the regular season last year. Old Miss got

149
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: crucified for daring to lose to them, right because you know,

150
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: they're barely a bowl team seven and five, And people

151
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: looked at it and they said, it's a terrible loss

152
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: for Old Miss, and I looked at it. We got

153
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: roasted for this on this show. So I said, you know,

154
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: Florida is not having a season for the ages, but

155
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: that's actually a really, really high level quality of opponent

156
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: that you're playing. And no one wanted to hear it.

157
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: Not because they didn't think that we could walk it

158
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: through to a logical conclusion. It's just there are people

159
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: who hate the SEC, and therefore any argument that would

160
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: prop up any SEC team that late in the year,

161
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: therefore prop up ole Missus playoff resume seemingly was not

162
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: going to be given the time of day, there was

163
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: not a lot of rationale in the room. In other words,

164
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: Florida just had seven kids drafted. So here's what I

165
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: did not just say. What I did not just say,

166
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: is Florida belonging in the playoff conversation or anything like that.

167
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: Of course they didn't. What I'm saying is that was

168
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: a high level opponent. The difficulty level in playing Florida

169
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: last year was obviously a little bit above and beyond

170
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: what you would expect from your typical in a vacuum

171
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: seven win caliber team, which is what I've been screaming

172
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: from the mountaintops for a long time in this sport.

173
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: I don't need you to give Florida preferential treatment just

174
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 1: because even though they lost five games, they're going to

175
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: have a lot of guys drafted, so we need to

176
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: give them a reward. They get what they deserve in

177
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: the isolated sense of what a team gets. So Florida

178
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: went to a low level bowl game. That's where they belonged.

179
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: But what I'm talking about is when you look up

180
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: and down the Big ten, or you look up and

181
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: down the SEC and we're talking about relative strength of schedule.

182
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: This kind of stuff is not the exclusive piece of

183
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: evidence that I present. It's just a supporting piece of evidence.

184
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 1: Not all eight and four or seven and five teams

185
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: in this sport are created equal by the very nature

186
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: of how a conference schedule works. Therefore, a bunch of

187
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: you play each other, someone's going to tote a bunch

188
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: of losses. That's still pretty good in these conferences because

189
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: your conference record is always relative to how deep or

190
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: not deep the conference is. So the SEC just sent

191
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: seventy nine kids in the NFL Draft, the ten cent

192
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: seventy one. The SEC had like basically half the first round,

193
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: and the Big ten had eleven, so twenty six of

194
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: the total thirty two in the first round. Many of

195
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: you do not like this. I don't either, but it

196
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: is so. The strength of schedule reinforcement was the first

197
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: thing that I took away. The other thing that kept

198
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: hitting me was what the Portal and NIL have done

199
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: to the sport. I'm pausing, I'm doing the old pe

200
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: Paul lap drum there for a second, because this is

201
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: yet again something I don't particularly love that has happened.

202
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: But this is one of the told you so moments

203
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: on the show that doesn't sound like me. But you know,

204
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: back when we were at the dawn of this era,

205
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: there were two camps that formed. You might remember this

206
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: because it was only like ten minutes ago and Camp

207
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 1: number one was man Portal and nil is going to

208
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: do way more harm than good to the overall landscape

209
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: of college football. And that was people like me. And

210
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: then we got drowned out by people saying, no, what

211
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: this is going to do is it's going to open

212
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: the door and now the big boys can't hoard up

213
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: all the talent, and now it'll be redispersed all over

214
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: the country and the results are going to be so

215
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: randomized and it's all bs. What happened was, in a sense,

216
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: the talent did get divvied up a little bit more.

217
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: That's the good news, I guess the bad news what

218
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: they forgot to tell you is the net result was

219
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: it just got divvied up amongst two conferences. Ohio State's

220
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: players just left and like go to a Nebraska or

221
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: a Purdue. Georgio's players leave and they just go to

222
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: Texas A and m or Ole Miss. They're not leaving

223
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: the conference, and if they are, it's because they probably

224
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: weren't a high enough level player to crack any of

225
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: the starting rotations for the major teams. Conversely, though, what

226
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: absolutely is happening over and over and over again. Is

227
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 1: the players that are high level players on non SEC

228
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: and ACE and Big ten rosters are filtering up to

229
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: those conferences. You saw that over and over again in

230
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: the draft of this Spats Weekend. You saw a kid

231
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: that may have been from Old Miss that's only been

232
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: Old missus roster for one or two years, and you're

233
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: looking at it saying, oh, that's like a vulture credit

234
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: to Old Miss. They didn't recruit that kid, they didn't

235
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: develop that kid, but they're getting credit for them. Yeah,

236
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: that's the way of the world. Now, that's the way

237
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: of the world because that's how Portland Nil works. That's

238
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: no disrespect to Old Miss. They did exactly what the

239
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 1: game allows them to do. But that's the way it works.

240
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: But it wasn't too long ago, if you'll remember, some

241
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: of us said, this isn't going to calibrate the sport

242
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: like you think it's going to. The net result is

243
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: just gonna be that the rich get richer because there

244
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: is no long term change to this that doesn't see

245
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: the same fifteen or twenty programs and the same couple

246
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: of conferences that have always dominated find a way to dominate.

247
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: There is no landscape change. Do you know why, Because

248
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: they're the ones in charge of it, So there was

249
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: no world where they were going to allow this table

250
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 1: to permanently shift against themselves. The next question becomes, at

251
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: the dawn of the revenue sharing era, how will that

252
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: change things? Because that's a far more fundamental change to

253
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: college athletics in the sense that we're talking about than

254
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: the portal and nil ever were. But I'll tell you

255
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: what did get validated. I'll tell you what the NFL

256
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: draft did validate tenfold, and that is recruiting rankings have

257
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: never been more accurate than they are right now. Now.

258
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: I got pushback on this when I said it on

259
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: the internet the other night, but there was no logic

260
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: based pushback. The only pushback was anecdotal pushback. It was

261
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: exception to the rule pushback, which there always will be.

262
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: Colin you got that. Chris Hummer TWI eat Hummer put

263
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: this out at the conclusion of the first round the

264
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: other night, and it was first round draft picks as

265
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: high school recruits per the twenty four to seven Sports rankings,

266
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: Eleven former five stars went in the first round. Fifteen

267
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: former four stars went in the first round, So out

268
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: of the thirty two first round draft picks. Twenty six

269
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: of the thirty two were former blue chip recruits, and

270
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: then out of the other what five or six or seven?

271
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: Cam Ward was one of them that everyone tried to

272
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: throw back, say, oh oh, you told me recruiting rankings

273
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: are accurate, buddy, what about cam Ward? Cam Ward was

274
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: a zero star recruit. He was clearly unique circumstances because

275
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: he didn't throw the forward pass in high school. But

276
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: you are right. You are also right, then, an onion

277
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: ring occasionally gets mixed in the fries at Burger King.

278
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: So what did Jordan? Did you order onion rings or fries?

279
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: Jordered fries. And you can either be an onion ring

280
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: truther and let that rogue onion ring the exception to

281
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: the rule dominate the convererce, or you can understand. You

282
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: order fries, you get fries, and because that's what they are,

283
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: and there may be an onion ring mixed in every

284
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: now and then. Personally, I always thought Burger King was

285
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: mixing in the onion ring to convince you you need

286
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: to try your onion rings. That's unofficial, that's not science.

287
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: But I always thought they were doing that. But cam

288
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: Ward's the onion ring man. He is going to play

289
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: his his pro ball right across the river here. Welcome

290
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: to Davidson County, sir. He'll probably live in Williamson, but welcome,

291
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: nonetheless to Nashville. He's the onion Ring. But you see

292
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: the fries there. Twenty six of the thirty two were

293
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: former blue chip recruits. So then, in just a basic

294
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: misunderstanding of math, I did have one guy who said

295
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: only eleven of the top thirty two picks were former

296
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: five stars. That's terrible. It's phenomenal if you understand how

297
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: many five star graded kids there are per cycle versus

298
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: how many four, three, two and one star. Kiss you're

299
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: talking about thirty two five star graded kids per cycle

300
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: and thousands of not five stars, and you're trying to

301
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: project four years ahead of time. How many of them

302
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: go first round and you win eleven of thirty two.

303
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: It's phenomenal if you understand the basic numbers and conceptually

304
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: what you're doing there. So I watched the draft as

305
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: closely as I ever have. I've got some more to

306
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: say later in the show from a different slant about it,

307
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: but yeah, it is so clear that there is not

308
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: a ditch. There is not a gap. There is a

309
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: canyon between the top two conferences in this sport and

310
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: everyone else. And so I look at that and I say,

311
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: they're negotiating the future of the playoff right now. If

312
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: you take feelings out of it, if you take your

313
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: emotion out of it, if you take the way you

314
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: want it to look in a perfect world out of it,

315
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: you're kind of approaching the point where you can't even

316
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: seriously pretend that all of those leagues are kind of

317
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: playing the same sport. They are in a sense that

318
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: it's eleven on eleven and they're all playing the same

319
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: number of games, and any given year, certainly the best

320
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: team from the Big twelve could be competitive. That's not

321
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: the point I'm making. The point I'm making is those

322
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 1: two leagues are playing a different caliber sport than everyone else.

323
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: And so you can either look at it and try

324
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: and make yourself feel good and say, well, no, the

325
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 1: playoff structure should guarantee this or guarantee that, or you

326
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: can look at it and say, honestly, if we went

327
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: just went heartless and we just stack this thing purely

328
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,959
Speaker 1: in terms of merit, they're looking for four autobid spots

329
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: a piece. Truth be told, that probably get more than

330
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 1: eight a piece if you just did it purely on merit.

331
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: My advice, by the way, on a related note to

332
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: the folks out there in non Big ten and SEC

333
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: shoes is you probably need to agree to that format now. Well,

334
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: that locks you, at least as the ACC or the

335
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: Big twelve into getting guaranteed spots at the table, because

336
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: if it were to go the alternative route, you may

337
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 1: not even get that. Because that's a trend that's not

338
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: going to reverse itself. I don't think in the foreseeable future.

339
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: I don't like it. In fact, I really really dislike it,

340
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: but doesn't change the fact that it is right now.

341
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors though, has nothing to do with that.

342
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: And if you're a Clemson fan, you it's not your fault,

343
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: and they got your gear there anyway. And if you

344
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 1: are a fan of a Big twelve school, or if

345
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: you're a Mountain West fan, not your fault, not our fault, right,

346
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: couldn't be us, and they got your gear anyway. However,

347
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: you should especially know that Academy is the new home

348
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: of Jordan Brown. I know, yes, we broke the news

349
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: exclusively exclusively ish on the show last week. Now they've

350
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: got a promotion going. Candidly, I was curious how many

351
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: of you would take us up on this. The answer

352
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: was a lot of you. So I'm gonna read it again.

353
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 1: We'll do this for a few shows because I'm always

354
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: looking out for you and trying to get your free stuff.

355
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: So the deal over there right now is any of

356
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: you who go and spend fifty dollars or more on

357
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: Jordan gear at Academy, just save the receipt, take a

358
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: picture of it, whatever, post it any of the socials.

359
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: You need to do two things, hashtag it Academy ex Jordan,

360
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: and then tag me Josh pat CFP and tag Academy.

361
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: You do that. We're sending out a ton of gift cards.

362
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: In fact, until the well rung dry over here, we're

363
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: sending out gift cards. A bunch of you did it

364
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: the other night, like a suspicious amount of you did

365
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: it the other night. So I'm sure we'll get more

366
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: returns on that. But who's to amongst us? New Jordan

367
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: and Academy almost as good as marriage as pay state

368
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: an academy, I would say, almost. All right, let's roll

369
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: on got a ton to get too stilled. We need

370
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: to speed it up. Honestly, I need to speed it up.

371
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 1: The transfer portal is closed, So there you go. That

372
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: was your spring transfer port period. So now that we

373
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: have all of the portal window closed for this year

374
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 1: and you pretty much know who's going to be on

375
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: your teams, now, what do we make of all this? Well,

376
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: the first team I want to talk about is LSU

377
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 1: because that's the team that fundamentally took itself from very

378
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 1: much question mark to very much a college football playoff contender.

379
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure outside of LSU circles, I'm not

380
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: sure how much the general college football public understands what

381
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: just happened here. But they got the number one transfer

382
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: portal class. They took eleven blue chip kids. And it's

383
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: not one position group like Texas defensive line yes, Penn

384
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: State wide receiver, yes. At LSU, it's D line, it's

385
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver, it's dB, it's offensive line. They were on

386
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: the precipice. Honestly, they were on the precipice of major

387
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: overhaul down there, because had they stood still and not

388
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: done anything the portal, they were going to lose more

389
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: games than is acceptable for LSU this fall, and like

390
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: I would expect coaching staff change candidly, that's where I

391
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: thought it was headed. And then they got their act together.

392
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: Certain people particularly down there, got their act together, and

393
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: they've been rewarded handsomely lately. And instead of what I

394
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: just said, they are a bona fide playoff contender. Now,

395
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 1: now this is not a team yet. A bunch of

396
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: guys who have never worn the LSU uniform in a

397
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: game are going to be depended upon to provide that

398
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: kind of product on the field. It snow guarantee. We've

399
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: seen Florida State shine and crumble entirely trying to go

400
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: the portal route. I think LSU just knocked it out

401
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: of the park as thoroughly as they could. Now. Listen,

402
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: Austin Thomas is a rock star down there. He's the

403
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: general manager at LSU. And you may be seeing headlines

404
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: around there some guy named Austin Thomas just got his

405
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: salary doubled. Who's going to be making close to a

406
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. He's probably underpaid based on what

407
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: he was just able to do with this particular portal class.

408
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: Where LSU would have been where they are now and

409
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: what it took to make it happen, and the folks

410
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: that he had to knock some truth and sense into

411
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: to make it happen. That dude just came through for LSU.

412
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: So I know there are a lot of general manager

413
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: names that float around out there, as they should. You

414
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: better insert Austin Thomas in there, because if LSU is

415
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: anywhere in this race, like I think I'll be, that

416
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: I think they'll be this year, he had a ton

417
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: to do with it. And congrats to him on the

418
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: salary bump, by the way, very well deserved. Texas Tech

419
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: pulled the lever very hard. You see them right there

420
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: then the number two portal class, but there by far

421
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 1: the biggest, just all in a portal lever puller, as

422
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: I would call it. You could call it portal dice

423
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: roll or portal roulette. I just call it the portal

424
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: lever lever lever, you choose the pronunciation. But they looked

425
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: at the landscape and they said, well, we print money

426
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: here and the rules are what they are for at

427
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: least one more cycle, so let's just go all in.

428
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: We haven't had a double digit win season since two

429
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: thousand and eight. Let's just go all in, and all

430
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: in they went. They took twenty kids, they took thirteen

431
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: blue chip kids. I was out there about three weeks ago,

432
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you this, and you can take it

433
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: for what it is. It could mean everything, it could

434
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: mean nothing. When you walk around the building there, they

435
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: look physically when you just watch the players walk around,

436
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: it looks like you're in ann Arbor or Athens or

437
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: somewhere like that. Maybe not quite Athens, but like if

438
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: you go to South Carolina or you go to Arkansas.

439
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: Arkansas is a really good example. Just anywhere where you're

440
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: in one of those major conferences, there are alien like

441
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: bodies just walking around the hallway and you wonder, like

442
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: where did they find these people. That's what it looks

443
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: like at Texas Tech right now, and the reasons cause

444
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: they went to all those other places and got their players.

445
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: So I am morbidly fascinated to see how this plays

446
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: out this fall because there's a really unique dynamic there.

447
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: On one hand, like I said, they haven't won ten

448
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: or more games since eight so you would not classically

449
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: think of Texas Tech as this pressure cooker of a job.

450
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: So therefore you would not think of Joey maguire as

451
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: being under like disproportionate amounts of pressure this fall, but

452
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,479
Speaker 1: he is because they don't care about what their history is,

453
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: because they've never gone all in on a season like

454
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: they are now in the past, so they don't care

455
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: about the past. They're saying, well, our expectations for this

456
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: fall are based on how all in we are for

457
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,719
Speaker 1: this fall. Now, Joey gets it. I've talked to him

458
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: about it. He gets it, he embraces it. What else

459
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: are you going to do? So? Texas Tech is going

460
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: to be a fun one to watch this fall. Oregon

461
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: again a team in Oregon that everyone blindly is ready

462
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 1: to expect to be in the National Championship hunt every year.

463
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: I am one of those people. I'm not blind. I

464
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: know what they've done. But if I didn't know what

465
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 1: they've done, but I only knew who was in charge there,

466
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, Oregon kind of like FanDuel. FanDuel would

467
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: blindly make Oregon one of the favorites, just like they

468
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: do Georgia or Texas. They're the kind of brand now

469
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: that is earned benefit of the doubt, and they're always

470
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: going to be in that conversation Well, here's the thing.

471
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: Oregon could have had terminal issues on the offensive line

472
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: had they not addressed it. They could have been a

473
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: team that came into this season and you looked at

474
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: it and you said, what wide receiver has been for

475
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: Penn State lately? O line will be for Oregon. Don't

476
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: care how good they are elsewhere, that offensive line is

477
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: going to hold him back. Then they went and got

478
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: Isaiah World at left tackle, and they got a manual

479
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 1: pregnantic guard, and they got Alex harkyet right tackle. Can

480
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: they just fundamentally overhauled their offensive line? As I always

481
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: say in portal segments, that's no guarantee it'll play out.

482
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: Every year we see abject busts out of the portal.

483
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: We also know that some of these schools are far

484
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: more cerebral in their approach to the portal than others. Therefore,

485
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: they're going to have a higher hit rate than others.

486
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: Malachi Hughes also a running back out of Tulane. When

487
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: I was down at Tulane last month, some are all

488
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: I mean. John Somerral talked about that kid like he

489
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: was his agent and he didn't owe him anything, but

490
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: he just said the kid's going to destroy it at Oregon,

491
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: and then they went and got Finnemon. I believe the

492
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: safety out of Purdue that's probably a plug and play

493
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: all Big Ten caliber safety for Oregon. So I don't

494
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: want to say it's just on the O line, but

495
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: they're over under win totals ten and a half again

496
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: this year. They're the number two favorite in the odds

497
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: to win the Big Ten again. Big caveat big asterisk

498
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: if all of those pieces gel and the injury luck

499
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: is on their side, copy and paste for every team.

500
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: Oregon had a huge, huge and very necessary haul in

501
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 1: the portal Miami. I think we could do a whole

502
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: show on how important Carson Beck is. We just watched

503
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: Miami pump out the number one overall pick in the draft.

504
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: Did you see they had Restrepo go undrafted and then

505
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: the Titans proceeded to pick him up and put him

506
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 1: with cam Ward. I don't know how the rest of

507
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: the league allowed that, but anyway, so cam Ward out

508
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: the door. And it is very much, very much true

509
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: that they pissed away a shot at doing a lot

510
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: more than they did last year because they couldn't do

511
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: anything defensively to couple with having cam Ward just like

512
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: Lsu and Daniels the year before. You don't want to

513
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: call it a wasted season, because it's not like they

514
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: went five and seven or anything like that, but they

515
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: greatly underachieved. And that's crazy because Miami had double digit

516
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: wins last year and so relative to recent history, that's

517
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: a great year relative to what they were capable of

518
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: had they been better defensively, they underachieved. So Mario Cristbaul

519
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: didn't really wait around. He fired up a bunch of

520
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: guys on the defensive side of the ball and went

521
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: and changed defensive coordinators. But also they went in the

522
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: portal after being ninety fourth and explosive plays allowed last year,

523
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: and they overhauled their entire secondary. They got a pair

524
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: of corners, I think three corners, They got a safety

525
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 1: d line help. Wonder on the other side, if there's

526
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: still some wide receiver help out there maybe for them.

527
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: But that all just funnels back down to the main

528
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: event there, and that is how's Carson bet gonna play.

529
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: As it stands right now at FanDuel, Miami has the

530
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: second best odds to win the league this upcoming year.

531
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: Clemson's your pretty solid favorite, right now in the odds market. Yeah,

532
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: so Miami certainly pretty much everything defensively had to be

533
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: scrutinized after last year. You can't let that happen again.

534
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: You saw USC and LSU really hit that button last

535
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: year and start to scale up their defensive performance. That

536
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: needs to be Miami this year. They won't be a

537
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: top ten defense in the country. They just need to

538
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: be way better than they were last year. Penn State

539
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: in Texas, these are not teams that had top to

540
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: bottom needs, but they had glaring needs at certain positions.

541
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: I thought they both filled that out pretty nicely. I

542
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: think Penn State forever has felt like they got to

543
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: get help at wide receiver, and finally they did. They

544
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: got Hudson out of USC, Demante Ross out of Troy.

545
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: Trevor Pinne this past weekend knew he had taken a

546
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: visit to Penn State. He had Miami, USC had some mothers.

547
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: Penn State stepped up and they got him. That's probably

548
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: your best three receivers on that team this year, and

549
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: they're all transfer portal additions. So we don't know this

550
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: because you can't know any of this at this point,

551
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: but I think it's pretty easy to say, outside of receiver,

552
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: Penn State's got a lot of known commodities coming back

553
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: from a team that was in what the semi finals

554
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: last year, So Penn State's a pretty reliable contender this year.

555
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: But you may have looked at him and said, yeah,

556
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: but I mean that wide receiver room is not gonna

557
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: win a national title. That wide receiver room is not

558
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: gonna win to Big ten. They can't. There's a permanently

559
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: enhanced ceiling on that team's potential as long as that

560
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver room looks like that. Okay, unbeknownst to us,

561
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: the key could have been put in the ignition and

562
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: turned on the team's potential with these additions, which is

563
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: always the fun like second of the two sides of

564
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: the coin this time of year, because everyone can talk

565
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: about the bust potential, but what you don't know is

566
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: whether Penn State scenario A this upcoming season was gonna

567
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: be just shy of being good enough, and yet they

568
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: just created a scenario B for themselves by adding one, two,

569
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: or all three of these receivers. You never know that,

570
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: and that's why I always loved taking these kind of

571
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: segments and looking back on them in November, because at

572
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: that point the guest works over and you kind of

573
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: you know what caliber team you have. You know who

574
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: did and didn't pan out out of the portal. But

575
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me if we get to November and

576
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: Penn State's offense has just ticked up a notch or two,

577
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: and you're looking back and you're saying, Wow, those receiver editions,

578
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: those I don't know how much they paid those guys,

579
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: it was worth its weight in gold because everything else

580
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: was ready made to win, and uh, they got the

581
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: final missing piece. Texas. You could say the same thing

582
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: about d Line with them. They've been stockpiling talent so

583
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: well that the past two years consecutively the draft has

584
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: gutted them, specifically on the interior of their defensive line.

585
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: So I think they added ten kids in the portal,

586
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: and half of them were defensive linemen, and they they

587
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: had to do it. They had to do it so

588
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: elsewhere they're a pretty ready made winner too. They added

589
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: guys three point thirty three three eleven three h five

590
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: three thirty three thirteen, the lightest of the defensive linemen.

591
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: They added three hundred and five pounds every other one

592
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: of them three eleven are heavier, so moving Texas off

593
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: the ball this fall could prove challenging, which would fall

594
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: right in line with what they've been like recently. What

595
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: didn't happen in the portal that's a very important headline

596
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: as well. What didn't happen. I'll tell you what didn't

597
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: happen in the spring portal window. Ohio State didn't lose

598
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: a kid. Alabama. I think they're the only team in

599
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: the SEC that didn't lose a kid in the spring

600
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: portal window. That's important. That was not the headline last year,

601
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: especially for Alabama, so that is very important. I'll tell

602
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: you another one. Arizona State. They lost a couple of guys,

603
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: but they didn't lose any frontline guys. And you should

604
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: pay attention to those of you who like to keep

605
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: meticulous notes. Arizona State went to the playoff last year,

606
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: they won the Big Twelve. They went to the playoff

607
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: last year. You would think that kind of team would

608
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: have their coaching staff get gutted and they would have

609
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: their roster get gutted, and neither of those things happened.

610
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: And I was, well, I'll tell you he wouldn't mind this.

611
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: I was out there a couple of weeks ago. And

612
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: when I go out there, I sit in on everything.

613
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Kenny Dillingham goes to the bathroom and I

614
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: like walking, all right, I'll sit out here for this,

615
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: but everything else I want to observe. Right was right,

616
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: I'll be out in the second. And I went in

617
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: their team meeting, and he sat there and told that

618
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: entire room. He told that entire team, you want to

619
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: go into portal, you want to get out of here,

620
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: just let me know. Not only will we facilitate it,

621
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: I'll help you, I will promote you. I don't want

622
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: anyone here who don't want to be here. And that

623
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: is the antithesis, candidly of the way it is most

624
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: other places. I mean Dillingham. He almost encouraged guys to

625
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: hit the portal, not because he actually wanted him to,

626
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: but because anybody who had an inkling of a doubt

627
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: they wanted to be on that team. He wanted to

628
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: go ahead and proactively, let's start the process. Let's get

629
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: you out of here. So they had a few backup

630
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: types that he helped get out of there and find

631
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: new spots, but none of their starters left, and that

632
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: coaching staff's intact. So this fall, this fall, I'd make

633
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: them the favorite in the Big two again this fall

634
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: because of that. But the Big twelve is going to

635
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: be very, very fun to watch. But just remember all this,

636
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: this this spring portal window, a lot of teams just

637
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 1: fundamentally altered the conference and playoff pictures respectively. This fall.

638
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: You just you can't quite know where I got good guesses,

639
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: but you can't quite know where they're watching us. In Sonoma, California, Lawrence, Kansas,

640
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: not just Mississippi. Some would say Nachas I say, Natchez, Mississippi.

641
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: We appreciate you guys. Got a lot in the live

642
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: chat as well. There you go. You know what, there's

643
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,399
Speaker 1: my there's my smiley face to prove to you were live.

644
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: Had to start the show a little bit early tonight

645
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: because I have to fly into beautiful Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania tonight.

646
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: There's a slight clue as to where we're headed tomorrow.

647
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: Cheers Black Cherries Evia on the show tonight, by the way,

648
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: rarely seen Black cherryes Evia still zero sugar, though as usual.

649
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:05,280
Speaker 1: A question comes to us from Ezra by way of Boston, Massachusetts.

650
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: He said, I need you to speak on Shador Sanders

651
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: sliding in the draft. Tell what's going on from the

652
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: side of Saturday, because the folks all about Sundays are

653
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: wonky about it. Now Ezra is calling out the good

654
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: name of people who cover the NFL. It was a mess, though,

655
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 1: wasn't it. So Shador Sanders was mott drafted in many

656
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: first rounds, and pretty much everyone Jesse I would think

657
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: had him at least top two rounds. I thought he

658
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: was going first round. I don't pay much attention to

659
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: the draft from that angle, so I don't really care.

660
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: But he did not go first round, nor second, nor

661
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: third nor fourth. So I watched this the other night.

662
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: And here's what's crazy about it. I never reach out

663
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: to NFL front offices for feedback because I don't do

664
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: an NFL show. As the draft was going on, I

665
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: was getting feedback from NFL front offices and I don't

666
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: even ask for it. But once the draft started going

667
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: the way it went, it was like it was if

668
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: I took this zva here and I hadn't opened it,

669
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: but I just shook it up. You know, there would

670
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: be a ton of pressure built up, but it doesn't

671
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: release until you popped the top on it. Once the

672
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 1: draft got into like round two and three especially, everyone

673
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: popped the top and the information just started flowing left

674
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: and right, and the feedback just started flowing left and right. So,

675
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: for instance, like I was in touch with a team

676
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: that didn't have Shador on their board, so he was

677
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: just a no take at any point for them, And

678
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: I was getting the feedback as to why it was

679
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: the stuff that you heard. It was the stuff Todd

680
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: McShay had talked about with the Giants, only I wasn't

681
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: talking to anyone with the Giants. I don't think I

682
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 1: know anyone with the Giants, But anyway, that was feedback

683
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: that was widely shared around the league. He was a

684
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,439
Speaker 1: disaster in the interview process. He rubbed us the wrong way.

685
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: He was ill prepared, almost to the point where you

686
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: felt like he was mailing in the process because he

687
00:36:56,040 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: had a disproportionately inflated sense of what his stock was

688
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: in the draft versus what it was. So I heard

689
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: that like a bunch of other people did, So you

690
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: can take that for what it is. That's not my

691
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 1: feedback because I didn't evaluate him, but a lot of

692
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: people in front offices thought that way. So you remember

693
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: a long time ago, I guess last year, I did

694
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: a segment on the show and we were talking about

695
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: something called the Dion Tax, and I wasn't talking about

696
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,720
Speaker 1: it from the standpoint of a player. I was talking

697
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: about it from the standpoint of college football fans. We

698
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: had to create a term called the Dion tax on

699
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: the show, and the Don tax was the price that

700
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: all of us were paying for the increased amount of

701
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: attention and exposure that Dion brought to college football. Because,

702
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: on one hand, you love that the game is getting promoted

703
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 1: and more people are watching it, and people who otherwise

704
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been watching college football are coming to the

705
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 1: table on Saturday. That's always a good thing. You always

706
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,240
Speaker 1: love that. However, the tax was a lot of peopleeople

707
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,760
Speaker 1: without much of a clue about college football were coming

708
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 1: in the door because of Dion, which is a good thing.

709
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: But the bad thing was they didn't quietly come in

710
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: the door. A lot of them came in the door

711
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 1: and couldn't wait to shout their opinions from every corner

712
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: and every rooftop, and it was just ignorance in a

713
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: lot of cases, and so people like us hardcore college

714
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: football fans. We looked around and we said, we love

715
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 1: that you're here. Maybe just shut up for five minutes

716
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: and sort of get a lay of the land before

717
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: you just start running your mouth. That was the Dion tax.

718
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,240
Speaker 1: Fans did it, Media did it. A lot of media

719
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: did it. Okay, So fast forward to this past weekend,

720
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: Shador starts falling in the draft and a lot of

721
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: people were tagging me on social and they were saying,

722
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: could it be that Shaduur is paying the Dion Tax?

723
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 1: And I got where you were going with that, although

724
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: that's not what I meant when I said the Deon tax.

725
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: But what you were saying was is Dion Sander's wait

726
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: around Shador's draft stop? And I think you can make

727
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: that argument, Like, I don't have specific knowledge of that,

728
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 1: but I do get where you would be going with that.

729
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: I think you could also look, guys, you could also

730
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:15,320
Speaker 1: ask this. You could also ask because this is something

731
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: that this is I'll give you some feedback I got

732
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: from a front office type. It wasn't we're terrified to

733
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: draft him because of the Dion factor. It's actually the

734
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: other way around. I had some feedback that sounded a

735
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: lot more like this. You know, we're sort of low

736
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: key concerned about what he'd be like being detached from

737
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 1: Dion for the first time, because he wasn't the most

738
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: mature kid in the world that we interviewed. When we

739
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: brought him in and we met with him as an organization,

740
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: we were left thinking, yeah, he seemed a little ill prepared,

741
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: but we've seen that before. But they looked at it

742
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: and said, man, actually, we wish that Dion could come

743
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: with him. We think he'd be better prepared if Dion

744
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 1: could just be with him. Twenty four to seven. So,

745
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 1: if you want to call that Deon tags, called the

746
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: Deon tags. I just looked at it and I thought

747
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 1: many things. I thought number one, clearly, the Mott Draft

748
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: industry slash media bubble that is fun to follow, and

749
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: it surrounds the draft had a vastly overinflated sense of

750
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: where he was going to go. Again, not the first

751
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: time that's ever happened, but to this extreme degree it was.

752
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: But then again, this was also a one of one

753
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: situation because not everyone's dad is Deon Sanders. Not everyone,

754
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 1: not every player coming out does have a full production

755
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: company surrounding him, and not everyone has the expectation already

756
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: baked in to their DNA because of what their last

757
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: name is, like Shad Door Sanders has. So I think

758
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 1: he's a heck of a football player, but I made

759
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,720
Speaker 1: that feeling known during the season. We had a question

760
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: last week where someone asked, could he be the most

761
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 1: overrated player in the draft? I guess you feel pretty

762
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: good right now given the results here, But my response was, well,

763
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: if you're just talking about the player, I looked at

764
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: him produced despite having virtually no supporting cast around him.

765
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: I said two things you knew about Shador was he

766
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: was gonna draw eyeballs and his uniform was gonna be

767
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: green every week because he didn't have any offensive line

768
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 1: to speak up. So that's the way I looked at

769
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: the player. Clearly, I'm not running a front office at

770
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: the NFL level, and they do have to care about

771
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: more than that, and they did, and I think a

772
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 1: lot of them made that abundantly clear. But one thing's

773
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: for sure. I don't know if Shador paid the Don

774
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: tax or if teams just didn't think he was that good,

775
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: but I do know we paid the Don tax yet

776
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: again this past weekend, We've paid the Don tax for

777
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,359
Speaker 1: a while in the fact that that guy is such

778
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: a big deal. He's brought people into the sport that

779
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: otherwise wouldn't have anything to do with the sport, and

780
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: they've run their mouth even though they know nothing about

781
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: what they're talking about. That's part of the Don tax.

782
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: And then this past weekend, many people who wouldn't talk

783
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: about the draft much because of the nature of how

784
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: the draft went for Shdoor Sanders took it upon themselves

785
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: to assume everyone cared about their opinion on the draft,

786
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: and they spoke about the draft and some of the

787
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,280
Speaker 1: most mind numbing ignorance you could ever hope to see

788
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: pour it out all weekend. And it was full care

789
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: bear suicide. If you know that gift, and I use

790
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 1: it often on Twitter, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

791
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: It's just it's a little care bear and it hurls

792
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 1: itself in front of an oncoming truck. That's how I felt. Collusion.

793
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: Collusion that's a word that was thrown around a lot

794
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: this past weekend. There was no more collusion in the

795
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: NFL level against Shador Sanders than there is collusion in

796
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 1: a major town when a road's flooded and no one

797
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: wants to drive down it. They didn't drive down it

798
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: because they perceived the risk is not being worth trying

799
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: to go down the road, and there were other routes available.

800
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: It's as simple as that. Shadoor Sanders, I can think

801
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: whatever I think about him. I'm not drafting him. But

802
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: there are thirty two franchises that had a shot are

803
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,399
Speaker 1: reallytically half of them didn't have a need, and so

804
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 1: the market is much smaller than thirty two teams. And

805
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 1: then some of them had concerns that removed him from

806
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: their board entirely, and so you concentrate the market down

807
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: even more. So, what are we talking about? Ten teams? Maybe?

808
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: And then it gets deeper and deeper in the draft,

809
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 1: and you want to starter in the first round, maybe

810
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: the second round, but after that, historically you're drafting backups

811
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 1: at that position in the NFL, and you want those

812
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: dudes to be church mice when they come in, and

813
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 1: shaudor Sanders will never be that. And so a lot

814
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: of them looked at it and said, it doesn't make

815
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: sense to draft this kid as a backup either. So

816
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: we are removing ourselves from the equation so you probably

817
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: had a market out of thirty two teams of like

818
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: five that were even willing to touch him by that point.

819
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 1: If that and that's what happened, collusion didn't happen, and

820
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:53,240
Speaker 1: anyone throwing that around just collusion. Here's two things about collusion.

821
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: Number One, it exists. Number Two, it's not a catch

822
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,919
Speaker 1: all explanation. Anytime something doesn't go the way you think

823
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: gets you go, or if something goes in a way

824
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: other than a way that would make you feel good.

825
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: It's not always collusion. The world's not always out to

826
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,919
Speaker 1: get you. Sometimes you may have had an overinflated sense

827
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 1: of self. Sometimes the market may have had an overinflated

828
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: sense of who you are. Here's the important point, though.

829
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 1: Did he get drafted, albeit to the worst possible place

830
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: to land as a quarterback, But did he get drafted?

831
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: He did get drafted. So now here's my opinion on

832
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: Shdor Sanders. If he's given a shot to succeed, he'll

833
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: succeed because I think he could be an NFL quarterback.

834
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 1: That is an evaluation of him as a player. I

835
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: think that if there was any edge that needed to

836
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: get knocked off of him, or any sense of reality

837
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 1: that needed to get injected into him. I'm fairly certain

838
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 1: if it's ever gonna happen, this little ordeal over the

839
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: past weekend of his life did it, and if it did,

840
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: nothing will. So if they're right about that from the

841
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: neck up perspective of him as a player, then who knows,

842
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 1: maybe he'll wash out. But if they're wrong about that,

843
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: or if it's a variable that could change this will

844
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: change it. And then you're just left with the skill set.

845
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: And man, I think he's got the skill set to

846
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,720
Speaker 1: succeed at that level. I think players with a lesser

847
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 1: skill set than shudor Sanders have succeeded for years in

848
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: that league. They're doing it right now. So my personal

849
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: feel is he will. I just don't know if he

850
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: had landed in a more stable organization, I feel good

851
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:28,240
Speaker 1: talking that way. He landed in Cleveland. Not even Browns

852
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: fans get offended when I say that he landed in Cleveland.

853
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: So I got no clue, but I do know it

854
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: was a one of one situation. I was glued to

855
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: it as Melkiper's my witness. I couldn't turn it off.

856
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 1: I could not turn the draft off this week and

857
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: I'm normally someone because I'm a college football guy. Outside

858
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: of watching the first round, I'm in the gym getting

859
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: periodic updates on my phone. I rearranged my Saturday to

860
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: revolve around draft coverage. That's how glued I was to

861
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: the draft. So I'm not saying conspiracy theory, but if

862
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: this thing is all just run by a production company

863
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: and everyone's in on it as an actor, and the

864
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 1: games are really just simulated like WWE matches, they got me,

865
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: they got me, hook line and sinker, they got me.

866
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: Let's move on because we had another question about this

867
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: that I also wanted to address about another player at

868
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 1: that position. Matt from Beautiful Missoula, Montana. He hit me

869
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: and said, is Quinn you were? Was declaring for the

870
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: draft one of the biggest mistakes we've seen in recent

871
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: college football history. He could have been a huge nil

872
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: guy in college football, and instead he barely got drafted.

873
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: This is one where I told you I think a

874
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: lot of people are going to disagree with me on

875
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: earlier in the show. I think what Matt just said

876
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 1: reflects what most people think about this. I'd say ninety

877
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: plus percent of people look knowing what Quinn you were.

878
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 1: Situation was last year he started at Texas. He's a

879
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: playoff quarterback, a former number one overall rated player out

880
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 1: of high school. It is well documented he had big

881
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: offers to go play this year in college. He would

882
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: have been a three or four million dollar in a

883
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 1: year guy, just telling you that would have happened not

884
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: at Texas, though he would have left Texas. It's arch

885
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: Manning's time at Texas. I just like Milroe. If Milroe stayed,

886
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: it would not have been at Alabama. It would have

887
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 1: been elsewhere this year. It's a really unique situation, I know,

888
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 1: but that's the way it was going to happen. But many,

889
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 1: I think a super super majority of fans looked and said,

890
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: quin you Weers goes in the seventh round when he

891
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: could have had four plus million dollars to go play

892
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: one more year of college football. What a stupid decision. Well,

893
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:41,919
Speaker 1: it's only stupid if he has typical priorities. But he doesn't.

894
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: He was tired of being a college football player. He

895
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: wanted to go play professional football. So if that's your

896
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: priority and your family is extremely well off financially anyway,

897
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 1: you're not in a typical situation. He is not a

898
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,320
Speaker 1: guy who grew up struggling to rub two dimes together,

899
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: So it's never been a situation of financial necessity that

900
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 1: he maximize his earnings right now. And also he's not

901
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: gonna be in a poverty situation signing an NFL deal,

902
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: even in the seventh round. Let's understand that. But also,

903
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 1: is it not funny to anyone other than me that

904
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 1: you got this group of casual fans that scream at

905
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 1: kids when they chase a bag in college football, and

906
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 1: that same crowds criticizing Quinn yours for turning down a

907
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 1: bag to chase his dream. What exactly are you wanting

908
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,839
Speaker 1: guys to do that chase the bag in college and

909
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: shame on them? And then you got one that says

910
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 1: four million dollars. Huh. Now I think, oh, I'll go

911
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: chase my dream. I want to be an NFL player,

912
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 1: And you know what, if I go in the six

913
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,280
Speaker 1: or seventh round, that's okay. I just want a shot.

914
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: All due respect, thank you for your time. I'm gonna

915
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: turn down the money. What an idiot? Is it true?

916
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 1: Was that song true? You can't please everyone, so you

917
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: just got to please yourself? Were they right? This whole time.

918
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,919
Speaker 1: I think they may have been. Also, might I use

919
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: the L word here. I don't think anyone knows where

920
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm going, Jesse and Collin, do you know where I'm going?

921
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:18,240
Speaker 1: No one knows. No one knows. Legacy, legacy matters. Quinn Ewers,

922
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 1: I don't even know if he is. I don't even

923
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: know if his mind is thinking this way right now,

924
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 1: but mine is. Quinn Ewers left millions of dollars on

925
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 1: the table to go to the NFL, a very very

926
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: uncertain path. I don't know that he'll ever earn four

927
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:38,839
Speaker 1: million dollars in a year in his life. Again, he

928
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:42,800
Speaker 1: may be two years away from fundamentally altering his earnings

929
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 1: potential in his career. It's a big roll of the

930
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 1: dice from a financial standpoint. But then again, the guy

931
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: was tired of being a college football player. He wanted

932
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 1: to be a pro football player. He believes in himself.

933
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 1: That's all great, it's all great. I don't think it's

934
00:49:56,239 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 1: a terrible decision because that was his priority structure. But also,

935
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 1: I want you to think about something. I want you

936
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 1: to think about the value of legacy. You've always taken

937
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 1: it for granted because up until about ten minutes ago.

938
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: Guys began and played and finished their career at one school.

939
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: But that's becoming less and less of a norm, especially

940
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 1: at his position. Do you know over the next thirty

941
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: years how much it's worth to Quinn yours on the

942
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: speaking circuit at public events and functions to be able

943
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: to market himself as a legacy former Texas quarterback and

944
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:37,399
Speaker 1: nothing else, just Texas quarterback, Because maybe not in one year,

945
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 1: but over several years, that's worth a whole heck of

946
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 1: a lot more than four million dollars. And if you

947
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: don't believe me, you don't know much about the state

948
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: of Texas, that Longhorn brand, that position, and what it

949
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 1: means to be able to market yourself accordingly. You go

950
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:54,800
Speaker 1: ask Colt McCoy. Now, Colt McCoy had a more I

951
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: don't know how you'd compare the careers, But you ask

952
00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 1: Colt McCoy. He goes and speaks in Amarillo, or he

953
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: speaks in Denton, he goes to those quarterback clubs. You

954
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,720
Speaker 1: ask Colt McCoy if he wanted to press the issue,

955
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 1: how much he could earn if he wanted to do

956
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 1: twenty dates this year public speaking, How much he had earned.

957
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: I think you'd be shocked. That's not just Texas, but

958
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 1: it's especially Texas. So Quinn Yewers, even if he never

959
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: does anything in the NFL, he gets to market himself

960
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: until the end of time as a former Texas quarterback.

961
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: And that's it. Not a kid who transferred from Texas,

962
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 1: not a kid who chased an nil dream elsewhere because

963
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:35,959
Speaker 1: it was Arch Manning's time. He's just Quinn yours, former

964
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 1: Texas quarterback. And folks appreciate that, especially that those deeper pockets,

965
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 1: which tend to be your older crowd, they appreciate that

966
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 1: stuff and they always will and they should. So I

967
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: guess I'm going to be in the minority again because

968
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the dumbest thing in the world

969
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 1: for Quinn Eewers to chase his dream as long as

970
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:57,319
Speaker 1: he stops by Quick Trip every now and then, cause

971
00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 1: if he doesn't, he's dead to all of us. Quick Trip.

972
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: In the coming days, I've got to inform you we

973
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: just got to do some old school ballot box stuffing

974
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: for Quick Trip. It's that time of year, April, but yeah,

975
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: it is that time of year to vote for best

976
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:14,839
Speaker 1: gas station on the planet, and we got to do this.

977
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 1: There's no ifans or butts. We've got to do this

978
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 1: for Quick Trip because they fuel us. I'm gonna be

979
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: on the road all week and they're fueling that. So

980
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 1: we got to help our friends at Quick Trip. They've

981
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 1: got the gas you need, They've got the cold brew

982
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: on demand on tap that you need. Some of you

983
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,439
Speaker 1: still are paying with your credit card at the pump

984
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: and just leaving, and we appreciate that. But guys, you

985
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 1: got to take two minutes out of your life and

986
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:39,839
Speaker 1: go in Quick Trip and see what I'm talking about

987
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: with cold brew on tap. You know what on tap means.

988
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:44,760
Speaker 1: I just don't think you've seen cold brew on tap,

989
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:48,839
Speaker 1: Like eight different varieties, very colorful handles, and you pull

990
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: that tap and out comes the cold brew. It's wonderful. Well,

991
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: dare I say life changing? At the very least, it'll

992
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:56,800
Speaker 1: change your life and that you won't go to sleep

993
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,919
Speaker 1: for the next twenty four hours and I need that freak.

994
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: So we appreciate Quick Trip. Let's roll on. We've got

995
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 1: a very very eclectic couple of segments here still to

996
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 1: talk about, and then I've got to I've got to

997
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 1: get on a plane tonight. Jet fuel does quick trip

998
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,919
Speaker 1: do jet fueld? I don't know anyway. Ricky from Philadelphia

999
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 1: hit me, he said, what, Oh jeez, what do we

1000
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: make of softy James Franklin getting angry with fans at

1001
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 1: the Penn State spring game. I think it's reasons like

1002
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: this that he and Penn State will never win the

1003
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 1: big one. What is Ricky talking about? What is Ricky

1004
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 1: from Philly talking about? Well, we are showing you footage.

1005
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,280
Speaker 1: If you're not watching on YouTube, this is James Franklin

1006
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 1: yesterday at the Penn State spring game. Allegedly someone called

1007
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 1: him a fraud. This is allegedly. We don't have clear

1008
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 1: enough audio to discern it for ourselves. Clearly, someone in

1009
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: the crowd said something James Franklin didn't like. So James

1010
00:53:56,760 --> 00:54:01,840
Speaker 1: Franklin went and confronted the fan whopstever it was. He

1011
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:03,359
Speaker 1: could have been a student, could have been eighty five

1012
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: years old. He went and confronted the person. And this

1013
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 1: is all we have. This is all the footage we

1014
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 1: have to go on. It's like Penn State is a

1015
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 1: Bruder film. This is all we have to go on,

1016
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 1: and so we can break it down here's what I

1017
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 1: will tell you. Many people called this childish, Yeah it is.

1018
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: They called it immature. Yes, it is very shortsighted for

1019
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:27,720
Speaker 1: a coach to be concerned with individual voices in the crowd. Yes,

1020
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,839
Speaker 1: of course it is. Am I going to criticize it?

1021
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:33,879
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. I back it every step of the way,

1022
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: and because I don't want to be a hypocrite. And

1023
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 1: what I say there is if I were James Franklin,

1024
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:41,799
Speaker 1: I'd do the same thing. I'd be so tired of it.

1025
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 1: I defend James Franklin a lot on this show. I

1026
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 1: get accused of homersm and it may be that. It

1027
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:49,880
Speaker 1: may be it's not that he and I grew up together.

1028
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 1: I like James Franklin. We've got a good relationship with

1029
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 1: that program. But I don't care if they locked the

1030
00:54:56,600 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 1: doors on us as a program. Fundamentally, I look at

1031
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 1: that guy's track record and it's really good. It's not elite,

1032
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 1: it's really good. And he always gets labeled as overrated.

1033
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,400
Speaker 1: And we fought that battle a million times on this

1034
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 1: show and I've won pretty handily. But if he got

1035
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 1: called a fraud, James Franklin is not a fraud. So

1036
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 1: if he got called a fraud. If I were him

1037
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: and I were in this position, I'd probably ignore it.

1038
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:23,799
Speaker 1: Ninety nine times out of one hundred. You know what,

1039
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 1: no one to be rolling on their cell phone when

1040
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:27,720
Speaker 1: I did that. So the one time out of one hundred,

1041
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 1: it just got to me for whatever reason. Maybe my

1042
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,319
Speaker 1: car didn't start this morning, some grad assistant parked in

1043
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: my parking spot. They didn't have the coffee warmed up

1044
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: for me. I'm already mad, and some guy called me

1045
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 1: a fraud, like Harold from Harrisburg up here called me

1046
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:43,759
Speaker 1: a fraud. You know what, I'm going up to Harold

1047
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:48,720
Speaker 1: from Harrisburg, and I'm saying, come down here. I challenge

1048
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 1: me on it. Not physically, We're not resulting to fisticuffs here,

1049
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,439
Speaker 1: but I listened to the audio. It sounded like Franklin said,

1050
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 1: come down here and talk to me about it. That's

1051
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:01,240
Speaker 1: a toxic trade of mine, candidly to probably get me fired.

1052
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:03,759
Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't win as much as James Franklin has,

1053
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 1: and yet I would be challenging fans like this at

1054
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 1: my spring game. I would challenge him debate me right now.

1055
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,320
Speaker 1: I'd probably call my digital media team over and I

1056
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,919
Speaker 1: would say you're rolling on this. Give him a mic,

1057
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 1: mike him, challenge me, prove I'm a fraud. Give me

1058
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 1: your evidence. What's your evidence. I'd do it. I wouldn't

1059
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: last long. Franklin has so credit to him. I wouldn't

1060
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 1: last long. It's just hard for me to criticize the

1061
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 1: stuff when I would be the same way. Does he

1062
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 1: need to focus on the right things, of course he does.

1063
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 1: Does he need to ignore all his garbage? Yes, yes,

1064
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 1: I don't even deny all this. So a lot of

1065
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:44,440
Speaker 1: your criticisms of him, I see the validity in it.

1066
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 1: There's a lot of merit to it. I just I

1067
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 1: get I have a point. I have a point where

1068
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:54,360
Speaker 1: the cup is full, and then every drop thereafter the

1069
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: cup runneth over. And I just don't think my cup

1070
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 1: would be very big immunity. I don't think it would

1071
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:03,839
Speaker 1: be big enough to fit all that immunity. We got

1072
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 1: to move on. I just think I'd end up doing

1073
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 1: the same thing. I know goodwell. One of you would

1074
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 1: capture it on cell phone and I would get castigated,

1075
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 1: just like James Franklin was today. But I also want

1076
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 1: to remind you, Colin, do me a favor. I ask

1077
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: you this like once a month. Put the question back

1078
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 1: up for a second, because there was a part of

1079
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 1: this h on my nose. There's a part of this.

1080
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 1: Ricky from Philly, he went there, he said, I think this.

1081
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 1: I think it's reasons like this that he and Penn

1082
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 1: State will never win the big one. Well, Ricky, might

1083
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 1: I remind you that like five minutes ago, Ryan Day

1084
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 1: went after Lou Holtz. Lou Holtz one hundred and fifteen

1085
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: years old. Lou Holtz was like foreman when he fought

1086
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:46,959
Speaker 1: a li He's like one hundred and fifteen years old.

1087
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: And didn't Ryan Day just go after Lou Holtz on

1088
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 1: national TV after they beat Notre Dame last year and

1089
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: how to Ryan Day's team fair last year? So it

1090
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 1: is not a limiting factor if you get a little

1091
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 1: petty every now then, or you focus on the wrong

1092
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 1: things every now and then. Sometimes it's you call out

1093
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 1: a senior citizen on live TV. Hooms to amongst us? Hasn't.

1094
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes you challenge a sophomore at Penn State to a

1095
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: debate right there on the field in the spring game,

1096
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 1: Hooms amongst us wouldn't. That's not the limiting factor if

1097
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 1: they can't move the ball forward on third down if

1098
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: they can't find dependability at the receiver position. These are

1099
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 1: the kinds of things that keep Penn State from winning

1100
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 1: a national championship. It's not whether or not James Franklin

1101
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 1: debates a student who may or may not have called

1102
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 1: him a fraud allegedly. That's part two of the show

1103
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 1: tonight that I think I'll get a lot of disagreement

1104
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: on the Quinn Viewers draft thing and the James Franklin

1105
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 1: yelling at a fan at the Blue and White game thing.

1106
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: I know it's gonna happen. I'm ready for it. Go

1107
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 1: ahead and bring it. I know we'll probably be accused

1108
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: of clickbait painting on that one. I think Jesse so

1109
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 1: Colin make the thumb nail extra ugly so people don't

1110
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 1: think we're doing that. Let's move on. We got a

1111
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 1: what if here? And then I want to wrap the

1112
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 1: show with the third the trifecta of disagreement tonight, because

1113
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 1: one of you had the audacity on the College Football

1114
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 1: show that I do to ask me about one Mel Kuiper,

1115
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:28,440
Speaker 1: and I am happy to answer. But first, Jeff hit

1116
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 1: us during what If season? He said, what if Alabama

1117
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 1: misses the playoff again. Well, Jeff, it would be a crisis.

1118
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 1: It would be a crisis. It would be National Guard

1119
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 1: activation level stuff. So I did a quick glance over

1120
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 1: a FanDuel. Right now, Obama's got the third best odds

1121
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 1: to win the SEC. They have got the seventh best

1122
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: odds to win the national title this year, so we

1123
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 1: can draw from that they're expected to be a playoff

1124
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 1: team at the very least. We have them internally, not FanDuel,

1125
00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:00,280
Speaker 1: but we internally have them graded as having the worth

1126
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 1: toughest schedule in the country this year. But that will

1127
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:07,400
Speaker 1: that will adjust a little bit, but that doesn't mean

1128
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 1: it'll change. They could have a tougher schedule or seventh toughest.

1129
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 1: They got a tough schedule this year, so per usual, Jeff,

1130
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 1: on these what ifs, I need the details. Are they

1131
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 1: going six and six or are they going nine and

1132
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 1: three with three losses by combined eleven points? Because if

1133
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 1: that's the case, it's just it's a tough break, is

1134
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 1: basically what it amounts to. I'm sure that Ariel and

1135
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 1: Alabaster wouldn't feel the same way. I know, good and well,

1136
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: Chad and Clio wouldn't feel the same way. I'm just

1137
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 1: naming random small Alabama towns at this point. Earl and

1138
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 1: Alexander City. No alliteration there, I'm sorry. Earl in Utah

1139
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 1: spelled with an e Utah in Alabama. Look it up.

1140
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 1: It's right there on the interstate between the Tuscaloosing like

1141
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: the Mississippi state line. I think, so this is not

1142
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 1: a wild concept, is my point. They I'm gonna say

1143
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 1: some things here. Obama fans are gonna yeah, but every

1144
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 1: one of them, and I could yeah, but it too.

1145
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: But just these are truthful statements. You did just lose

1146
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 1: a third round caliber quarterback. Now, I know everyone of

1147
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: you's yelling, yeah, good that Milroe held us back last

1148
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 1: year in many ways, well in some cases he did, Yes, Okay.

1149
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 1: My point is you're not just magically guaranteed to upgrade

1150
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: over him. You hope you do, you think you will,

1151
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 1: it's not guaranteed. You got a really tough schedule. Like

1152
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 1: I just said again, I think you're way better at

1153
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 1: receiver this year. I think you're way better at defensive back.

1154
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 1: You didn't lose a single guy in the transfer portal

1155
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:40,480
Speaker 1: after spring. You retained a lot of guys that could

1156
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:43,480
Speaker 1: have gone to the draft to come back for another year.

1157
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 1: You're set up to succeed this year. It doesn't matter

1158
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 1: on fourth and two when LSU's in town, is my point, Like,

1159
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 1: that's how this season will be determined. Eleven and one

1160
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:57,600
Speaker 1: versus eight and four is gonna come down to like

1161
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 1: half a dozen plays. So it's not the craziest thing

1162
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 1: in the world to think Bama could go nine to

1163
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 1: three this year and just miss out on the playoff.

1164
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 1: That's not the craziest thing in the world. Also, if

1165
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 1: you do want to flip that on its ear and

1166
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 1: you want to say it can't be as bad as

1167
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:14,960
Speaker 1: it was last year, I kind of agree with you

1168
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 1: because I don't think you're going to be one hundred

1169
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: and twenty third in penalty yards per game again. I

1170
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 1: don't think you'll be ninety seventh then turnover again. I

1171
01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 1: don't think you'll be as terrible as you were on

1172
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 1: third and seven plus again. Like I said, wide receiver

1173
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 1: and defensive back both massively upgraded position units. Second year

1174
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 1: head coach, normally you see a little scalability. Yeah, I

1175
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 1: think BAM will be better. Yeah, I think i'd predict

1176
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 1: them in my playoff right now. But if they're not there,

1177
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 1: that's a big what if, Jeff, If they're not there

1178
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 1: at nine and three versus they're not there because they

1179
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 1: lost three or four games by double digits, that's a

1180
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:56,160
Speaker 1: much different world. So it's April. That's how I choose

1181
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 1: to answer these things. In April. FanDuel has the odds

1182
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 1: that I just read to you. They have them over

1183
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 1: there right now. They have Bama odds to win at all.

1184
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 1: They have Bama odds to win the SEC. They have

1185
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:11,080
Speaker 1: Bama over under nine and a half wins. Or maybe

1186
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 1: you couldn't care less about Alabama and you just want

1187
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 1: to go bet something else entirely. You can also do that,

1188
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 1: I'm told, although I can't myself prove it, that the

1189
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 1: NBA playoffs are happening right now. And if that is true,

1190
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 1: Jesse's that's true. Yeah, that's true. Okay, you could go

1191
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 1: bet those as well, or you couldn't bet anything, because

1192
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 1: maybe you don't bet, And if you don't, and I'm

1193
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 1: not sitting here encouraging you to start, you may just

1194
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,560
Speaker 1: be curious about what those odds even mean, what do

1195
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 1: they look like? Purely for research purposes? Purpie you can

1196
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 1: go over there. It's not illegal. You can go over there.

1197
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:49,920
Speaker 1: It actually, you know, in many ways, it's what I

1198
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 1: used to do back in the day. I used to

1199
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 1: look at some of the offshores. Not because I was

1200
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 1: about to place a dime, because I didn't have a

1201
01:03:57,560 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 1: dime to place on it. I just was curious, like,

1202
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:04,200
Speaker 1: what are the odds, what are the conference odds? I'm

1203
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:05,520
Speaker 1: not going to bet it. I couldn't bet it at

1204
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 1: the time. I just went and looked out of curiosity.

1205
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 1: You can do that as well. It's no sweat. But

1206

1223
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:16,320
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think, for the life of me,

1224
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 1: I ever expected this question on this show. For the

1225
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:20,760
Speaker 1: life of me. I'm gonna take a chug of water

1226
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: right quick, for the life of me. I don't think

1227
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 1: I ever expected to be asked this period. But yet

1228
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 1: here we are. Oh, thank you. So mathematically it's a

1229
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 1: fact someone's watching the show for the first time tonight.

1230
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:40,959
Speaker 1: I promise you this as a one hundred percent college

1231
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 1: football show. I promise you it is. It just so happens.

1232
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 1: The Draft just happened, and I watched it, and I

1233
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:48,480
Speaker 1: was vocal about it this past weekend, and a lot

1234
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 1: of people noticed. So I'm gonna end the show with this.

1235
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 1: Dan from Albany, New York He said, you're a fun

1236
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 1: Twitter follow, but how in the can you defend mel Kuiper?

1237
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:06,640
Speaker 1: He was obviously wrong and was blinded by vengeful rage

1238
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 1: and refused to admit he was wrong. Most of you

1239
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:15,439
Speaker 1: know what Dan is talking about. If you don't, mel

1240
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 1: Kiper just erupted. This past weekend, mel Kuiper bordered on

1241
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:22,160
Speaker 1: imploding in on himself like a dying star over shud

1242
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 1: Or Sanders. He had Shador rated as his number one

1243
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 1: overall quarterback, and then Shador fell to the fifth realm.

1244
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 1: And I don't know how upset Dion was, but it

1245
01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 1: pales in comparison to how upset mel Kuiper was. And

1246
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 1: I was entertained by every minute of it. And I said,

1247
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:44,919
Speaker 1: as such, I look, so I did the classic comparative analysis.

1248
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:47,720
Speaker 1: Some of you may watch pro wrestling, most of you don't.

1249
01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 1: That's okay. So pro wrestling has like long since exposed itself,

1250
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 1: which is pathetic by the way, which just means they

1251
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 1: give you the show and then they can't wait to

1252
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 1: tell you how they did it. You know that that

1253
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 1: makes the magicians illusion all the better. They do it

1254
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:05,280
Speaker 1: and then five minutes later they have a press conference

1255
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:07,280
Speaker 1: tell you how they did it. This is neither here

1256
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:09,760
Speaker 1: nor there. But I made the point this past weekend

1257
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 1: that the Rock shows up a month ago, inserts himself

1258
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:16,240
Speaker 1: into this big storyline leading up to WrestleMania, and then

1259
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 1: he's a ghost at WrestleMania, and everyone's like, well, wait

1260
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:22,840
Speaker 1: a second, where was Where was the Rock? Point is?

1261
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 1: They bailed on an angle and I looked at Melkuiper,

1262
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 1: and mel Kiper had been ten toes down for Shador

1263
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:33,280
Speaker 1: Sanders and on night one, as Shador kept falling in

1264
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:36,480
Speaker 1: the draft and mel Kiper kept banging that drum louder

1265
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:40,240
Speaker 1: and louder, and the night ended and mel Kiper said,

1266
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 1: this is crazy, and then they went off the air.

1267
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:47,320
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, do not bail mel Kuiper. You

1268
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:51,160
Speaker 1: have you have built the ship. You gotta go down

1269
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 1: with it. Stand tall. And he came on air the

1270
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:58,600
Speaker 1: next day and he, if anything, he crowded the plate more.

1271
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:02,400
Speaker 1: He gripped the ba. You could see sawdust coming off

1272
01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 1: that thing. I was so happy with mel Kiper because

1273
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 1: here is where I can tell many of you disagree

1274
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 1: with me. I don't know that mel Kiper was wrong.

1275
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:15,200
Speaker 1: He was wrong in his mock draft so clearly he

1276
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 1: and many other people whiffed about where Shudor Sanders was

1277
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 1: gonna go. But if that's if that's being wrong, then

1278
01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:23,639
Speaker 1: everyone was wrong. I was wrong, you were wrong. Everyone

1279
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:27,160
Speaker 1: was wrong. But I'm not talking about that. It's mel

1280
01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:31,439
Speaker 1: Kiper's sincere belief that Shador Sanders was the best quarterback

1281
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 1: in this draft and he's gonna end up being a success.

1282
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 1: You don't know if he's wrong about that. It hasn't

1283
01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 1: happened yet, So how do you know he's wrong. He

1284
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:43,880
Speaker 1: was wrong in what he expected to happen in the draft,

1285
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:47,599
Speaker 1: what he expects to happen in that kid's career. We'll see.

1286
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:50,080
Speaker 1: We're all going to watch that. It'll be fascinating theater.

1287
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:53,600
Speaker 1: But here's where I differ. I found I differ with

1288
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 1: many of you on this. I rely on people like

1289
01:08:57,360 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 1: mel Kiper to have wealth fought out opinions, and then

1290
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:05,439
Speaker 1: I want them to be steadfast and present them and

1291
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:09,280
Speaker 1: don't back down on air. That's all I need. Really,

1292
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, we're talking about a

1293
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 1: draft to go play football. That's really what we're talking about.

1294
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 1: And so I don't need to agree with you. Who

1295
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 1: in the world on TV do you agree with one

1296
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:22,800
Speaker 1: hundred percent of the time? Who in life do you

1297
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:25,120
Speaker 1: agree with one hundred percent of the time? What would

1298
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:28,880
Speaker 1: you rather have seen Melkiper do? I genuinely ask this

1299
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:30,680
Speaker 1: because I think many of us disagree on this. So

1300
01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:35,639
Speaker 1: I I watch Melkiper night one and he's shoudoor should

1301
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 1: or shaud door, and then day two he's even more hardcore,

1302
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:42,920
Speaker 1: and then day three he was apoplectic, and I thought

1303
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 1: it was just some of the best TV I've ever seen.

1304
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:47,479
Speaker 1: And I disagree with a lot of what he said.

1305
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:50,400
Speaker 1: I don't care. At the end of the day, It's

1306
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:51,919
Speaker 1: not the worst thing in the world if I disagree

1307
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 1: with someone. What I'd much rather see is mel Kiper

1308
01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:59,720
Speaker 1: stands solidly and like principled behind a belief of his

1309
01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 1: no matter how many people disagree, than to waffle on it.

1310
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:06,280
Speaker 1: That's what I didn't want to see, and so I

1311
01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:09,840
Speaker 1: appreciated it. That was my point. He said a lot

1312
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 1: of stuff that I personally disagreed with. If he were

1313
01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 1: sitting here right now, I mean, we could have a

1314
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:17,559
Speaker 1: conversation about it, and now I'd have like five points

1315
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:20,479
Speaker 1: I disagreed on, but I'd be so appreciative of the

1316
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 1: way you handled himself. So I don't necessarily know that.

1317
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:27,000
Speaker 1: I don't know that draft coverage is for me. I

1318
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:29,760
Speaker 1: really don't, because apparently most of you disagreed with it.

1319
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:33,679
Speaker 1: But then again, I would say that for everyone who

1320
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:37,599
Speaker 1: turned it off because of Melchiper, I'd say many more

1321
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:42,080
Speaker 1: people turned it on. But if you didn't like their coverage,

1322
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:44,599
Speaker 1: I got great news for you. You could have flipped

1323
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:46,880
Speaker 1: it over to NFL network. You could have flipped it

1324
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 1: over to ABC, You could have flipped it over to

1325
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:53,080
Speaker 1: many of the digital feed You could have gone and

1326
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:56,519
Speaker 1: watched McAfee smoke vitamins on air. You could have there

1327
01:10:56,760 --> 01:11:00,040
Speaker 1: There are several options. It's the beauty of choice. So

1328
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:02,160
Speaker 1: if you didn't like mel Kuiper, to me, if I

1329
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 1: didn't like mel Kiper, I would have changed the channel.

1330
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 1: I did it a few times. He said some stuff.

1331
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:09,800
Speaker 1: I said, Eh, let me go see what Saban's saying. Uh,

1332
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:11,360
Speaker 1: let me go see what they're saying on this show.

1333
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:14,160
Speaker 1: Clatt did coverage. Clatt did draft coverage this year. Let

1334
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 1: me go see what Joe Klatt saying. I just changed

1335
01:11:16,160 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 1: channel for a little while and come back. I didn't

1336
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:23,200
Speaker 1: like Rage watch it. So that's how to answer the question.

1337
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 1: That's how I defend mel Kuiper, because he had an

1338
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:28,720
Speaker 1: opinion and he's stuck to it, and he may end

1339
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 1: up being crucified for this for the next decade. But

1340
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:34,760
Speaker 1: you know what, Heaven help every one of you if

1341
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:37,680
Speaker 1: Shador ends up getting a starting job in Cleveland, and

1342
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 1: I mean if Cleveland is any kind of pulse this

1343
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:46,599
Speaker 1: year on the radar in the AFC North, I pray

1344
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:49,240
Speaker 1: for every one of you because I'll be right there

1345
01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:52,200
Speaker 1: with mel Kuiper. Don't don't think I'll hesitate to say

1346
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:56,160
Speaker 1: we in relation to me and mel Kiper when Shador

1347
01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:58,600
Speaker 1: starts shining. If he does, I'll go we, me and

1348
01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 1: mel Kiper all day long. He will be insufferable. If

1349
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:04,439
Speaker 1: Shador Sanders succeeds in the NFL, and he should be.

1350
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:08,240
Speaker 1: You think Kuiper's gonna get fired if Shaudor doesn't pan out.

1351
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:11,560
Speaker 1: He's probably more likely to get fired if Shauduur thrives,

1352
01:12:12,120 --> 01:12:15,360
Speaker 1: because I don't think any human being that endured as

1353
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:17,759
Speaker 1: much criticism as mel Kuiper just did this past weekend

1354
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 1: could contain themselves. I think it's a pumpkin pie in

1355
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:25,280
Speaker 1: the face of the rest of humanity if shoudor ends

1356
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 1: up ends up doing anything at the NFL level, much

1357
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:31,720
Speaker 1: less being the best guy at that position in this draft.

1358
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 1: So there you go. We probably talked more NFL on

1359
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 1: this show tonight than I will the rest of the

1360
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:39,280
Speaker 1: year combined. It's just the way the show flowed naturally tonight.

1361
01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:41,200
Speaker 1: So I appreciate you guys so much. I gotta go

1362
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:44,080
Speaker 1: to the airport. Will will be on the road all week.

1363
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:46,519
Speaker 1: I'll be back in Nashville in time for the Thursday show.

1364
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 1: So that's the schedule. But I'll have a lot on

1365
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:52,920
Speaker 1: the socials this week. Josh Pate CFB if you want
