WEBVTT - Not So Fast Episode 5 0:00:01.270 --> 0:00:05.229 Welcome to Not So Fast with Andrew Perloff and Paul Pabst, 0:00:05.450 --> 0:00:08.730 where two longtime friends challenge each other on the biggest 0:00:08.789 --> 0:00:12.650 sports stories of the day. Here's Andrew Perloff and Paul Pabst. 0:00:13.540 --> 0:00:14.650 Not so fast, my friends. 0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:21.860 Welcome to Not So Fast. I'm Andrew Perloff. He's Paul Pabst. Paul, 0:00:22.020 --> 0:00:23.950 we already have a college football upset. 0:00:24.050 --> 0:00:26.770 Oh, big college football weekend started last night. UMass with 0:00:26.790 --> 0:00:29.550 the upset of Rutgers. We feel like UMass football today. 0:00:29.850 --> 0:00:31.550 The head coach of UMass, a half an hour away 0:00:31.650 --> 0:00:32.150 on this show. 0:00:32.170 --> 0:00:34.450 You know what's funny? We booked him weeks ago, too. 0:00:34.570 --> 0:00:36.410 Yeah, you called it. You said, we've got to get 0:00:36.450 --> 0:00:37.990 this guy on in case he takes Rutgers. 0:00:38.050 --> 0:00:41.059 Yeah, I mean, they broke a 16-game losing streak, but 0:00:41.100 --> 0:00:43.400 that's incredible. Let's start, though, on the other end of 0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:47.800 the college football spectrum, Paul. Down in Louisiana. LSU apparently 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:51.220 found a friendly judge. The case was about players who'd 0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:53.770 been in NFL camps wanting to come back to college football. 0:00:54.100 --> 0:00:56.650 And yesterday, a judge ruled that they will be allowed, 0:00:56.710 --> 0:01:00.150 including two players, Daquan Wright and Xavier Harris, transferring from 0:01:00.190 --> 0:01:01.510 Ole Miss to LSU. 0:01:02.130 --> 0:01:04.110 Could play this weekend. There's still some time. 0:01:04.650 --> 0:01:08.330 Daquan Wright spoke outside the courthouse after the ruling and 0:01:08.350 --> 0:01:09.530 said what he's looking forward to. 0:01:11.910 --> 0:01:14.070 Just putting on a college uniform again and going out 0:01:14.090 --> 0:01:16.220 there and having fun and embracing my opportunities. 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.319 You wouldn't be able to play until next Saturday, right? 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.920 I'm not really clear on everything, but I hope it'd 0:01:23.940 --> 0:01:25.360 be this Saturday. 0:01:25.770 --> 0:01:27.610 Well, the reason it's dark out is because the case 0:01:27.730 --> 0:01:29.830 ended at 9 o'clock at night. The news broke 9 0:01:29.830 --> 0:01:33.170 o'clock last night. Lane Kiffin and LSU 1-0 on the 0:01:33.230 --> 0:01:35.410 season in the courtroom so far. But this is one 0:01:35.430 --> 0:01:38.030 of those things, I'm not 100% sure this one's over. 0:01:38.370 --> 0:01:41.010 The SEC has been pretty quiet the past 12 hours 0:01:41.110 --> 0:01:42.850 on this story, and as we sit right now, those 0:01:42.910 --> 0:01:46.229 players are playing for LSU and possibly a couple other colleges. 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:48.520 But it wouldn't surprise me if Greg Sankey says, let's 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:52.270 rally our lawyers and find a courtroom to injunct your injunction. 0:01:52.670 --> 0:01:55.350 Because Greg Sankey is not a guy who waves a 0:01:55.370 --> 0:01:57.350 white flag. He doesn't own a white flag. I could 0:01:57.370 --> 0:02:00.130 see this having another turn, not before we get off air, 0:02:00.170 --> 0:02:01.310 but before tonight's games start. 0:02:01.710 --> 0:02:04.170 You know, I think the players made a powerful case, though. 0:02:04.370 --> 0:02:06.450 I actually changed my mind in the middle of the case. 0:02:06.810 --> 0:02:08.590 They came into the court and said, we didn't want 0:02:08.630 --> 0:02:11.190 to go to NFL training camps. If we knew we 0:02:11.210 --> 0:02:13.350 were allowed to go back to college football, we would 0:02:13.370 --> 0:02:16.190 have done that. This is all about the class of 22. 0:02:16.190 --> 0:02:18.910 It's an exception. So I think the players probably have 0:02:18.930 --> 0:02:20.970 the right to play. I don't think Daquan Wright was 0:02:20.990 --> 0:02:22.370 going to try out for a team. I think he 0:02:22.389 --> 0:02:24.910 would be at LSU under normal circumstances. 0:02:24.930 --> 0:02:26.940 So it's a complex story because it's about fairness. In 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:28.739 that 2022 class, and we don't want to get too 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:30.840 much in the weeds, they kind of got treated differently 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.639 than other classes, and their eligibility was not taken from 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.660 them but not given back to them in the same way. 0:02:36.220 --> 0:02:37.720 But it should have been done in June. It should 0:02:37.740 --> 0:02:40.010 have been done in July and wrapped up. What bothers people, 0:02:40.070 --> 0:02:42.500 the average American sports fan, is like, how can you 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:44.940 go from a pro roster back to college? And they're 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:46.400 holding on to shreds of amateurism. 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:48.480 Yeah, but that is going to be the exception. We 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:49.500 went over the numbers. Yes. 0:02:49.660 --> 0:02:53.100 Basically, one out of every 700 FBS players will have 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.510 been in the NFL or tried out for the NFL. 0:02:55.550 --> 0:02:57.130 This is not going to be a rash of guys 0:02:57.190 --> 0:02:57.669 coming back. 0:02:57.730 --> 0:03:00.550 But this story has become the most famous coach in 0:03:00.590 --> 0:03:04.250 the conference, Lane Kiffin, now that Lane Saban's gone. 0:03:04.270 --> 0:03:04.550 Yeah. 0:03:05.010 --> 0:03:08.750 Versus the SEC. And the SEC versus their new head coach. 0:03:08.810 --> 0:03:10.150 I know he was at Ole Miss last year, but 0:03:10.169 --> 0:03:13.080 this is a wild situation. So laying Kiffin in the 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.480 SEC as a side soap opera inter-conference is the most 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:17.380 SEC thing ever. 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:19.840 Yeah, and you know what I like too, Paul? LSU's 0:03:19.860 --> 0:03:23.910 playing Clemson this week. Is this the ultimate new school team? 0:03:24.070 --> 0:03:27.910 LSU, 48 transfers, arguably the best transfer class in the 0:03:27.950 --> 0:03:31.330 entire country. One of the richest transfer classes against Clemson. 0:03:31.730 --> 0:03:35.050 who fought the whole system. You know, Dabo Sweeney doesn't 0:03:35.070 --> 0:03:38.310 want transfers. He doesn't want to pay NIL. Now he's 0:03:38.350 --> 0:03:41.660 come around begrudgingly. So I think this is a battle. 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:43.120 I don't want to say good versus evil because I'm 0:03:43.140 --> 0:03:44.500 not sure who's good and who's evil. 0:03:44.580 --> 0:03:45.500 It's old school, new school. 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:46.160 Old school, new school. 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:49.559 Dabo's a dial-up internet guy. He's a MySpace guy. He 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:52.240 wants to live in 1977, but it's not that anymore. 0:03:52.540 --> 0:03:56.880 Dabo Sweeney and Clemson was dominating college football 8, 9, 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.200 10 years ago. And he didn't keep up with the times. 0:03:59.580 --> 0:04:01.580 Lane Kiffin doesn't just keep up with the times. He 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.940 tries to find what the next opportunity to get players is. 0:04:05.380 --> 0:04:07.340 But this is an opportunity for Dabo. I think they're 0:04:07.370 --> 0:04:11.110 about a 10, 10.5 point underdog right now, Clemson. But 0:04:11.150 --> 0:04:14.830 if he could somehow take down Lane Kiffin and LSU 0:04:15.010 --> 0:04:18.950 on national TV, it's a refresher for Clemson football with 0:04:19.010 --> 0:04:19.770 a long season to go. 0:04:20.700 --> 0:04:21.870 I don't know. I think that's going to be a 0:04:21.910 --> 0:04:22.589 tough task. 0:04:22.610 --> 0:04:22.990 Very tough. 0:04:23.010 --> 0:04:25.510 This is the first time Clemson hasn't been ranked since 2011. 0:04:25.510 --> 0:04:29.050 I looked this up. That was Dabba's third year and 0:04:29.089 --> 0:04:32.960 their quarterback. Taj Boyd was in his first year. They 0:04:32.990 --> 0:04:35.470 weren't ranked that year. They won the ACC and just 0:04:35.490 --> 0:04:38.690 started this incredible run. But I'll be honest, what bothers 0:04:38.730 --> 0:04:41.030 me about Dabo a little bit, now he's asking his 0:04:41.089 --> 0:04:42.310 donors for NIL money. 0:04:42.650 --> 0:04:43.710 Four years late. 0:04:43.850 --> 0:04:46.409 He convinced them that you don't need NIL to compete. 0:04:46.750 --> 0:04:50.040 And now he's saying, I guess we do. You mentioned it. 0:04:50.089 --> 0:04:50.849 I think he's in trouble. 0:04:50.950 --> 0:04:53.710 Well, a 7-6 season last year, you get one of those. 0:04:53.810 --> 0:04:55.490 If you get a couple national titles, you get one 0:04:55.510 --> 0:04:58.810 of those. Ask Gene Chizik years ago at Auburn. how 0:04:58.890 --> 0:05:01.990 long your hall pass is. But what's interesting about LSU 0:05:02.010 --> 0:05:05.300 is they're going the route of Sam Levitt, the ASU quarterback, 0:05:05.380 --> 0:05:08.339 good-looking kid. Jane Daniels did this. He went from ASU 0:05:08.500 --> 0:05:09.700 to LSU to the pros. 0:05:09.940 --> 0:05:10.820 Yeah, absolutely. 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.790 And they got Jordan Seaton left tackle out of Colorado. 0:05:13.810 --> 0:05:16.030 They got a lot of prize recruits all over the field. 0:05:16.410 --> 0:05:20.200 I love Sam Levitt. Our buddy Tom McShay, former ESPN 0:05:20.500 --> 0:05:22.760 draft guru, he thinks Sam Levin might be the best 0:05:22.820 --> 0:05:24.130 quarterback in college football. 0:05:24.310 --> 0:05:25.950 Not only just the best quarterback this year, the best 0:05:26.050 --> 0:05:26.870 pro prospect. 0:05:26.890 --> 0:05:27.270 Warm take. 0:05:27.350 --> 0:05:30.210 We'll see, but Lane Kiffin offenses. I mean, any quarterback 0:05:30.250 --> 0:05:32.250 can look good there. I think he's going to be great. 0:05:32.270 --> 0:05:34.710 All right, we've got other games this weekend, Pearl. Your 0:05:34.750 --> 0:05:38.360 Louisville squad versus Ole Miss. Trinidad Chambliss is back, the quarterback. 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.440 They're a very root-for-able team, Ole Miss. You've got to 0:05:41.460 --> 0:05:44.200 like them. And then you've got Wisconsin versus Notre Dame. 0:05:44.570 --> 0:05:46.510 Notre Dame is a big favorite in this game. Wisconsin 0:05:46.540 --> 0:05:48.920 football is not what it used to be. But Notre Dame, 0:05:49.140 --> 0:05:52.560 the schedule is getting joked on a little bit. It's like, hey, 0:05:52.580 --> 0:05:54.880 this schedule is non-threatening, except for that Miami game in 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:59.100 early November. Notre Dame is good for one trip-up game 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:00.960 about every three years. You don't want it to be 0:06:00.980 --> 0:06:02.260 this one. You don't want to open the season with 0:06:02.300 --> 0:06:02.580 this one. 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.380 Well, I mean, they start out slow a lot. And 0:06:05.420 --> 0:06:06.320 they've made the mistake. 0:06:06.380 --> 0:06:08.440 Last year, they put A & M and Miami on 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.260 their schedule. This is a much better start. But you 0:06:11.300 --> 0:06:13.620 know how scheduling works. They did not know Wisconsin would 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:14.040 be down. 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.799 Right. That's a good point. This game was scheduled four 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.240 seasons ago when they had 10 wins at Wisconsin. 0:06:19.580 --> 0:06:21.020 Yeah, I was the guy last year. 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.610 Remember the debate? Should Notre Dame get in with two losses? 0:06:24.370 --> 0:06:26.029 I was a guy who was against it. I don't 0:06:26.089 --> 0:06:26.810 like their schedule. 0:06:26.830 --> 0:06:28.490 I'll be honest. I'm a little frustrated. 0:06:28.510 --> 0:06:30.409 We're going into week one. I wish there were more 0:06:30.430 --> 0:06:34.670 marquee matchups. Remember last year we had Ohio State-Texas? Wisconsin-Notre 0:06:34.690 --> 0:06:35.830 Dame is not quite doing it for me. 0:06:35.830 --> 0:06:37.970 Yeah, and Notre Dame-Michigan went away for a while. Notre 0:06:37.990 --> 0:06:39.810 Dame-USC is going to be on a bit of a hiatus. 0:06:39.850 --> 0:06:41.710 So some of those premier games have gone away. 0:06:41.950 --> 0:06:45.070 Yeah, I'll tell you though, Louisville. I've been talking off-air 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.340 about them. Everyone's talking about Ole Miss, of course. The 0:06:48.460 --> 0:06:50.140 feel-good team, Trinidad-Chamliss. 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:51.480 Is Louisville your Indiana team? 0:06:52.380 --> 0:06:54.150 Well, they're in the 20s. 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:56.960 Indiana was ranked a little higher than me the last year, 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.120 but they got a quarterback, Lincoln Kienholz, who was the 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:00.159 backup at Ohio State. 0:07:00.180 --> 0:07:01.960 And every time he got in, he dominated. 0:07:02.220 --> 0:07:04.560 Now, of course, Ohio State was up 38 to nothing 0:07:04.580 --> 0:07:06.479 when he got in. So there was a good reason. 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:08.670 They have a running back in Isaac Brown. But that's 0:07:08.690 --> 0:07:11.070 the way college football is. In the NIL era right now, 0:07:11.410 --> 0:07:13.370 you don't know where the great teams are going to 0:07:13.410 --> 0:07:13.750 come from. 0:07:13.850 --> 0:07:14.030 Right. 0:07:14.150 --> 0:07:16.270 You could redo your team just like, you know, Kurt 0:07:16.290 --> 0:07:18.890 Cignetti at Indiana. He brought all those kids over from 0:07:18.930 --> 0:07:21.030 James Madison. He redid his team instantly. 0:07:21.050 --> 0:07:21.630 Yeah. 0:07:22.260 --> 0:07:26.040 IU's quarterback, Josh Hoover, former TCU transfer. Not so much 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:27.720 pressure on him week one, but it's going to be 0:07:27.740 --> 0:07:30.860 interesting to see Indiana football. Do they come out steamrolling 0:07:30.900 --> 0:07:31.730 like they did last year? 0:07:32.030 --> 0:07:35.090 It's funny because Josh Hoover, everyone's like, well, Fernando Mendoza 0:07:35.110 --> 0:07:37.130 did it last year, so Josh Hoover's got to do 0:07:37.170 --> 0:07:37.730 it this year. 0:07:37.750 --> 0:07:39.810 It's not that big a sample size, Paul. 0:07:39.870 --> 0:07:41.680 It's such a weird world we're in in college football, 0:07:41.690 --> 0:07:44.090 like Can Indiana repeat? Did you ever think you'd ever 0:07:44.150 --> 0:07:47.250 say the phrase, would Indiana football repeat as national title holders? 0:07:47.510 --> 0:07:49.570 Yeah, I mean, we've had a lot of experts on 0:07:49.610 --> 0:07:51.630 this week, and everybody's high on Indiana this year. 0:07:51.650 --> 0:07:53.910 It's not like, well, they lost the number one pick. 0:07:54.090 --> 0:07:55.390 They did lose Fernando Mendoza. 0:07:55.470 --> 0:07:57.310 A lot of skill position players are back. A lot 0:07:57.350 --> 0:07:59.570 of defenders are back. Coming up later, are we doing 0:07:59.620 --> 0:08:02.080 our national picks now, national title picks now or later? 0:08:02.820 --> 0:08:04.420 I want to save it, Paul. You're saving it. And 0:08:04.500 --> 0:08:06.440 I'm a little worried. We have not revealed it to 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:06.760 each other. 0:08:06.780 --> 0:08:07.580 No, we never reveal. 0:08:07.700 --> 0:08:09.720 So what would happen if we had the same exact 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:11.880 national title game? Would we have to pivot off of that? 0:08:11.900 --> 0:08:12.680 Is that bad TV? 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:13.780 Yeah, I don't know. 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:15.680 I mean, we do think alike on some things, but 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:16.500 not on other things. 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:18.160 What about Heisman picks? Are those coming later? 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:18.720 Yes. 0:08:19.060 --> 0:08:20.580 And that I know we're going different because I am 0:08:20.620 --> 0:08:22.550 going way off the board for. 0:08:22.410 --> 0:08:23.150 My Heisman pick. 0:08:23.190 --> 0:08:24.770 A lot coming up today. A lot coming up today. 0:08:25.510 --> 0:08:26.270 All right. 0:08:26.810 --> 0:08:28.870 In the college football world, there's a lot of drama 0:08:28.910 --> 0:08:31.870 down in Chapel Hill, of course. We'll get into the 0:08:31.930 --> 0:08:34.630 North Carolina story, and I have a. 0:08:34.630 --> 0:08:38.150 Great analogy for Bill Belichick. That's next. Not so fast. 0:08:38.170 --> 0:08:43.900 All right, Perloff, here we go. Midday pick-me-up. You are 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.120 going to love this. I know I'm about to love this. 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:50.410 Caleb Williams at the Cub game. PCA saying hi to 0:08:50.429 --> 0:08:51.670 his friend. Hey, pal. 0:08:51.910 --> 0:08:52.209 Hey, buddy. 0:08:53.070 --> 0:08:53.490 Oh, come on. 0:08:53.570 --> 0:08:56.589 Caleb Wilson of the Bulls, the rookie. Matis Bouzelis of 0:08:56.610 --> 0:08:56.970 the Bills. 0:08:57.750 --> 0:08:59.470 Oh, I know you're a huge Chicago fan. 0:08:59.490 --> 0:09:00.850 Are you going to get a poster of this in 0:09:00.870 --> 0:09:02.760 your room if that's what's happening right here? 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:03.420 A poster? 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.640 I would like to wallpaper my living room with this photo. 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.600 That is such a surefire win when a guy from 0:09:08.700 --> 0:09:11.360 one team goes to the game in another sport. 0:09:11.540 --> 0:09:12.000 Oh, look at that. 0:09:12.059 --> 0:09:15.069 It's burning my retinas as a Chicago guy. 0:09:15.130 --> 0:09:16.870 By the way, about half of those guys haven't proven 0:09:16.910 --> 0:09:18.469 anything yet. I don't know what you guys are so 0:09:18.490 --> 0:09:19.070 excited about. 0:09:19.130 --> 0:09:19.469 That's fine. 0:09:19.510 --> 0:09:21.060 PCA, Caleb's and Caleb's. 0:09:21.140 --> 0:09:22.679 They're all there. They're all there. 0:09:22.700 --> 0:09:24.679 All right, welcome back to Not So Fast. Dan Patrick 0:09:24.700 --> 0:09:26.620 will be joining us in 15 minutes right here in 0:09:26.900 --> 0:09:29.320 the big seat. And the UMass head coach will be 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:32.480 joining us after the Rutgers win. It's time for Warm Takes. 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:34.890 You'll love it. It's sweeping the nation. Day five. 0:09:35.750 --> 0:09:36.230 Here we go, Pearl. 0:09:36.250 --> 0:09:38.590 I'm going to go first. Ready? Soak this one in. 0:09:39.570 --> 0:09:42.110 When in the heck did Indiana become a football state? Yeah, 0:09:42.170 --> 0:09:43.949 I know Notre Dame. They've been there for a long time. 0:09:43.970 --> 0:09:45.950 But even Notre Dame went down for a couple years 0:09:46.010 --> 0:09:49.240 here and there. Indiana football is a defending national title. 0:09:49.780 --> 0:09:52.390 They won the Heisman last year at Mendoza. They've got 0:09:52.410 --> 0:09:54.190 a chance to repeat. They're a top 10 team, not 0:09:54.230 --> 0:09:57.939 a fluke team, And they're right back in it. Notre 0:09:57.960 --> 0:09:59.860 Dame is in the title picture again, and it's going 0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:03.020 to be perennially. Marcus Freeman passed on the NFL to 0:10:03.059 --> 0:10:06.120 stay at Notre Dame multiple times. This state is just 0:10:06.300 --> 0:10:08.410 running college football. This used to be the state of 0:10:08.450 --> 0:10:10.849 Bob Knight, the state of John Wooden. This used to 0:10:10.890 --> 0:10:13.610 be a pure college basketball state. Now, Purdue has some 0:10:13.630 --> 0:10:16.170 catching up to do, but Kurt Cignetti could run for governor. 0:10:16.510 --> 0:10:20.090 Marcus Freeman's is staying at Notre Dame over multiple NFL offers. 0:10:20.309 --> 0:10:22.250 This is a great time to be a sports fan 0:10:22.270 --> 0:10:26.610 in Indiana, but football more than basketball, it's a little odd. 0:10:27.410 --> 0:10:30.270 What if Hoosiers 2 was actually a football movie and 0:10:30.330 --> 0:10:33.380 not a basketball movie? No football school this small has 0:10:33.410 --> 0:10:34.340 ever won the state title. 0:10:34.460 --> 0:10:36.820 Right, Hoosiers 2. We talked about this last year, you 0:10:36.860 --> 0:10:39.400 and I. We said Hoosiers 2 is the Indiana football story. 0:10:40.370 --> 0:10:42.390 I don't think I talked about that because that's terrible. 0:10:42.410 --> 0:10:44.250 I texted you 10 times and you didn't respond. 0:10:44.550 --> 0:10:45.690 That is so weird, too. 0:10:45.770 --> 0:10:47.569 Is Kentucky next or are we going to get other 0:10:47.610 --> 0:10:48.650 basketball powers to get. 0:10:48.570 --> 0:10:49.069 Good at football? 0:10:49.090 --> 0:10:50.070 Or are you going to be like Florida where you 0:10:50.090 --> 0:10:50.490 do both? 0:10:51.050 --> 0:10:53.510 Yeah, easier said than done. All right, I'm going to 0:10:53.530 --> 0:10:54.569 go to my warm take. 0:10:55.530 --> 0:10:59.090 Not quite as positive down in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, 0:10:59.410 --> 0:11:01.969 where Bill Belichick and the program has gotten in a 0:11:01.990 --> 0:11:04.690 lot of trouble. I was looking back at when Belichick 0:11:04.730 --> 0:11:06.369 first got there. There was a great column in The 0:11:06.410 --> 0:11:09.800 Athletic saying, Bill Belichick will be no Rodney Dangerfield in 0:11:09.820 --> 0:11:11.620 the movie Back to School. Now, if you're too young 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.510 and you don't know Back to School, homework, watch it. 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.210 It's a great movie. Rodney goes back to college and 0:11:17.270 --> 0:11:21.030 lives it up. Now, for that headline, turns out Belichick 0:11:21.170 --> 0:11:24.679 is more Rodney Dangerfield than Rodney Dangerfield himself in the movie. 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:28.080 He took over a program at North Carolina, and all 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.500 we have right now is reports of sex, drugs, and 0:11:30.540 --> 0:11:31.120 rock and roll. 0:11:31.140 --> 0:11:32.920 It's unbelievable. 0:11:33.140 --> 0:11:36.130 The story about Bill Belichick in North Carolina shocked me 0:11:36.250 --> 0:11:40.510 because he always ran a very tight ship in Foxborough, 0:11:40.830 --> 0:11:41.550 and now it seems. 0:11:41.470 --> 0:11:43.410 Like anything goes in North Carolina. 0:11:43.750 --> 0:11:46.880 And Rodney, in the movie, dated an English professor, I believe, 0:11:46.890 --> 0:11:48.099 played by Sally Kellerman. 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:48.459 Good call. 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:52.360 Bill's dating a 25-year-old. So he's ahead of Rodney in 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:55.700 that sense. It's unbelievable what has happened to this program. 0:11:56.020 --> 0:11:58.500 And I'd really like a true documentary of what the 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:00.470 day-to-day for Bill Belichick is like. 0:12:00.809 --> 0:12:02.550 It seems like a lot of fun. 0:12:02.570 --> 0:12:05.990 He's enjoying himself. Now, in the movie Back to School, 0:12:06.030 --> 0:12:08.830 of course, Rodney Dangerfield ended the movie with the Triple Lindy. 0:12:08.870 --> 0:12:09.770 You know what the Triple Lindy is. 0:12:09.770 --> 0:12:10.130 Of course. 0:12:10.570 --> 0:12:14.079 It was a dive. It was an athletic feat. Belichick's 0:12:14.100 --> 0:12:16.559 version of the Triple Lindy would be actually getting to 0:12:16.580 --> 0:12:19.660 the college football playoff. That would be an incredible feat 0:12:19.700 --> 0:12:23.650 for this program. Listen, they won 15-10, I believe, over 0:12:23.710 --> 0:12:25.150 TCU in opening week. 0:12:25.590 --> 0:12:26.610 So there's a chance. 0:12:26.990 --> 0:12:29.730 But I feel like it's a kind of cinematic quality 0:12:29.750 --> 0:12:32.540 down there. And if it's like back to school, Belichick 0:12:32.660 --> 0:12:34.960 is going to make the college football playoff and walk 0:12:35.020 --> 0:12:37.400 it off in the sunset with Jordan Hudson. It's going 0:12:37.420 --> 0:12:38.140 to be an incredible ball. 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:40.819 Bravo. If there was a warm take chain, I'd give 0:12:40.860 --> 0:12:42.119 it to you. That was the warm take of the 0:12:42.140 --> 0:12:43.900 week on Not So Fast. I yield the floor to 0:12:43.940 --> 0:12:46.530 this one. I admire it. To work Bill Belichick and 0:12:46.570 --> 0:12:49.170 Rodney Dangerfield in a warm take, I love it. Look, 0:12:49.330 --> 0:12:52.750 I'm going to give you this lovely NBC Sports vintage mug. 0:12:53.010 --> 0:12:54.069 Wow, look at that. 0:12:54.210 --> 0:12:56.190 It is a great point, but I think what Dan 0:12:56.210 --> 0:12:58.480 Patrick said earlier today on the Dan Patrick Show was, 0:12:58.580 --> 0:13:00.440 can Bill Belichick win his way out of this? And 0:13:00.620 --> 0:13:03.280 usually in sports you can. Now, Bill has an off 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:06.480 week this week, but UNC has Clemson in three weeks 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.300 and Notre Dame in four weeks. If somehow, and don't 0:13:09.340 --> 0:13:11.260 say never, we don't say that on this show, if 0:13:11.300 --> 0:13:14.630 somehow he beats Clemson and he beats Notre Dame... The 0:13:14.690 --> 0:13:17.209 hype is back in a rush. If he loses both 0:13:17.250 --> 0:13:18.750 of those, it's open season. 0:13:19.150 --> 0:13:21.920 Can he hurt his pro legacy by what happens here? 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:22.660 I would hope not. 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:24.760 I really hope it doesn't. Like him not getting the 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:26.540 Hall of Fame on first ballot is one of the 0:13:26.580 --> 0:13:29.179 nuttier things that's ever happened in football history. Because if 0:13:29.220 --> 0:13:31.410 Bill Belichick's not first ballot as a coach, that means 0:13:31.450 --> 0:13:33.350 there will be no more first ballot head coaches. 0:13:33.690 --> 0:13:35.130 No, of course he should get in. 0:13:35.420 --> 0:13:37.730 I saw the Hall of Fame just this hour, I believe, 0:13:37.780 --> 0:13:38.890 change their criteria. 0:13:38.950 --> 0:13:39.890 To put Bill in? 0:13:40.410 --> 0:13:44.410 Basically, yeah, because Belichick obviously deserves it. They could argue 0:13:44.429 --> 0:13:46.050 he's going back to the NFL. I think that ship 0:13:46.070 --> 0:13:46.490 has sailed. 0:13:46.630 --> 0:13:48.630 All right, my next warm take is this, and this 0:13:48.690 --> 0:13:52.589 is an NSF PSA, here we go, PDQ. One thing 0:13:52.610 --> 0:13:55.050 we like to do on NSF is tailgate. We like 0:13:55.070 --> 0:13:57.510 to tailgate and watch college football and see college football 0:13:57.530 --> 0:14:00.429 in person. Here's my tip for you. This weekend, it's 0:14:00.429 --> 0:14:03.250 72 degrees pretty much everywhere. Go watch a local college 0:14:03.270 --> 0:14:06.230 football game. We can't all live in Baton Rouge or Eugene. 0:14:06.250 --> 0:14:06.850 You've been there. 0:14:06.950 --> 0:14:09.309 You can't live in Austin, Texas. Go see a small 0:14:09.350 --> 0:14:12.270 college football game. Go to Weber State versus Southern Utah. 0:14:12.290 --> 0:14:14.360 I've been there. Go see Carroll at St. 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:14.679 Norbert. 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:17.679 I've been there as well. Go see Illinois College at Elmhurst. 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:22.730 There's lots of small college football, Division II, FCS, Division III, NAIA, 0:14:23.210 --> 0:14:26.450 NA whatever. Just go roll up. It costs nothing to park. 0:14:26.730 --> 0:14:29.110 You can tailgate anywhere you want. You walk in, you 0:14:29.130 --> 0:14:30.950 pay five bucks or less, and you go see some 0:14:31.010 --> 0:14:33.690 real college football. If you get some vitamin D on you, 0:14:33.910 --> 0:14:35.790 get a brat in your belly, and go watch some 0:14:35.820 --> 0:14:38.020 college football. You'll feel better about yourself. And then take 0:14:38.060 --> 0:14:39.880 a picture. Send in your picture. Best one makes the 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:40.460 air this weekend. 0:14:40.740 --> 0:14:42.260 How are the tailgates at some of these games? 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:44.800 Surprisingly good. A little old school. You know I like 0:14:44.820 --> 0:14:47.000 to go to the Yale tailgate. A little bougie, a 0:14:47.140 --> 0:14:50.680 lot of plaid. Army football, there's a prime one this weekend. 0:14:50.780 --> 0:14:53.680 Army football redid their football stadium, and it is Gorge 0:14:53.740 --> 0:14:55.210 on the Hudson. You've been there. 0:14:55.230 --> 0:14:57.950 I've actually never been there. Dan said that's just one 0:14:57.990 --> 0:14:59.270 of his favorite places to watch a game. 0:14:59.370 --> 0:15:01.470 You may be under orders to go see Mikey Stadium 0:15:01.510 --> 0:15:04.610 this weekend, but Army football is an experience. As an American, 0:15:04.650 --> 0:15:05.790 as a football fan, please go. 0:15:06.530 --> 0:15:07.530 Okay, Paul, I'm in. 0:15:08.430 --> 0:15:10.989 Let's turn our attention to the NFL draft. It's a 0:15:11.090 --> 0:15:14.250 year and a half away. Obviously too early to really 0:15:14.290 --> 0:15:15.770 be talking about it, but you know how the websites 0:15:15.810 --> 0:15:18.050 put out their mock drafts. I just want to warn you, 0:15:18.350 --> 0:15:20.650 if you're reading a too early mock draft, this is 0:15:20.690 --> 0:15:24.170 a mock draft, Paul, from last year, this exact week. 0:15:24.790 --> 0:15:26.960 ESPN put out a mock draft and they had six 0:15:27.030 --> 0:15:31.860 quarterbacks in their first round. Starting with Arch Manning, Lenore Sellers, 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:35.240 Kate Klubnick, Sam Levitt, Drew Aller, and Garrett Nussmeyer. Obviously, 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.260 the actual picks were not those guys. 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:39.080 Fernando Mendoza. 0:15:39.100 --> 0:15:40.040
