6
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: It looks like TCU is going to get out of

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: Stanford with a win. It was a little bit in doubt,

8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: but I think they've put a touchdown up here in

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: this final two minutes that should likely seal it for

10
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: Sunny Dikes and the horn Frogs. That was looking a

11
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: little sketchy for much of the evening, and that game

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: turned out to be a little more entertaining than maybe

13
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: we thought. But TCU was about a ten point favorite.

14
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: Now they find themselves up ten, I believe after the

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: extra point, So I guess all's well. That ends well,

16
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: though there's still some time left, about a minute minute

17
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: fifty one or so. But boy, I'll tell you what

18
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: feels good being able to give you that update because

19
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: it means the college football is back. Baby. Here we go.

20
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: There is so much to get into over this next

21
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: three hours. It's a good week for me in terms

22
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: of being able to fill in for the great Bernie Fratto,

23
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: but just to hand me week one to do. So

24
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: I'll be finishing the night with Aaron Torres as it's

25
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, one am where I am two am on

26
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: the East coast. But we're here. We have arrived officially

27
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: to week one. We had the you know, kind of

28
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: the soft opening for the restaurant a week ago and

29
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: came with some fireworks because of the Florida state result,

30
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: of course, but now we get everything, and so during

31
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: the course of the next three hours we can break

32
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: down all the big college football matchups, and indeed we

33
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: will do that. We're gonna talk plenty of NFL because

34
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: we're almost there as well, and so there's you know,

35
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: all the questions of a new season. We can get

36
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: into all sorts of things that we can do. My

37

44
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: to go as we roll right along. So this is

45
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: the beginning of college football, at the beginning of the

46
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: twelve team playoff era. It's the expansion. Oklahoma has already

47
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: played a game. Technically now they're an SEC school even

48
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: though they crushed a you know, just kind of a

49
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: one opponent. Some some schools are playing some tough games,

50
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: others are not. But Oklahoma hung fifty one earlier, so

51
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: they're off and running. We'll see where they are at

52
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: the end of the year. I saw an article about

53
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: Oklahoma as it related to they do they need to

54
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: be wary of becoming the next Nebraska, And I'm just like, well,

55
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: I mean they I understand that they haven't maybe been

56
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: quite as hot in the last two years, but they're

57
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: starting in a much different placed in Nebraska as well.

58
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: Oklahoma is almost always good. The two schools that don't

59
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: really have a drop off meaning complete drop off, not

60
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: that they're perennially every single year they're gonna win a

61
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: championship or they have an opportunity to win a championship,

62
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: But the two schools historically that almost always field very

63
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: good teams, Ohio State and Oklahoma, they're almost always in

64
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: the mix. They didn't have like the fifteen year drop off,

65
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: like after Switzer left, they had a little bit of

66
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: a down period, but then came Bob Stoops and since then,

67
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: of course, they've pretty much always been there. Now, Brett

68
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: Vinables is still kind of trying to make his mark.

69
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: They're not in as good a spot today as Texas is,

70
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: but it would be kind of unfathomable for Oklahoma to

71
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: fall off a cliff. I don't anticipate that that will happen.

72
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: That's it. I don't know whether or not Bret Vinnables

73
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: is going to be long for that either. They are

74
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: stepping into a different conference, and I don't think that

75
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: maybe they're in the best position today compared to where

76
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: they could be, although you know they've they've done better.

77
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: They certainly were a better football team last year, but

78
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: they also did pretty well in the ways that you

79
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: needed to in the off season to start things out.

80
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: But Venables's got have to make sure he keeps his

81
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: wits about him, keeps his emotions as in check as

82
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: possible without losing the edge and the aggressiveness that he's

83
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: known for. And they're gonna have some dog fights, no question,

84
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: about that. I you know, last week we ran through

85
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: on the weekly show that I hosted thereon Torres on

86
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: Saturday nights, we went through our twelve team playoff, and

87
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: we went through our champion, and you know, I came

88
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: down to it. At the moment that I was doing it,

89
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: it didn't seem like what I was doing was particularly wild,

90
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: But then it really when I sat down and did it,

91
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: I didn't have a champion in mind, and then when

92
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: I got to the end, the champion I ended up

93
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: with is not what I thought when I started the exercise.

94
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: So over the next couple of minutes, I'm just gonna

95
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: run through those for you if you don't or if

96
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: you missed that program, and I'm gonna go from twelve

97
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: to one. Now that's mainly just kind of the way

98
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: you would do a reverse order to get to the

99
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: top of the list. But I'm going to explain as

100
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: we go along where we are here, and then we

101
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: can come back out of the break and we can

102
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: talk more about all of these things. And maybe I'll

103
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: only give you the twelve now and then I can

104
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: give you the playoff after the break. But and number twelve,

105
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: I've got Memphis and I was torn between Memphis and

106
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: Liberty because Liberty and Caden Salter at quarterback, excellent football team,

107
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: phenomenal last year. There's got to be a champion outside

108
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: or the best team outside of that power level conference

109
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: where each conference gets the automatic bid. They're gonna get one,

110
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: and so it's gonna be Memphis or Liberty. I went

111
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: with Memphis, but I think one of those two teams

112
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: is going to be your answer. If you want to

113
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: go with Liberty, I'm not going to argue with you

114
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,799
Speaker 1: that much, but they're the best of the Power five.

115
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: To me. Number eleven. I went a little off the

116
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: board compared to some and I put Tennessee there, and

117
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: that's because I just think they're going to be better

118
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: than people think. I think their offense is going to

119
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: be there. I think the quarterback is going to be special.

120
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: And I also believe that the mediocrity of the ACC

121
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: may leave them with only one bit, just their champion.

122
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: I don't know that anybody else is going to get in.

123
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: So we can stop here and we can talk about

124
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: this a bit. Florida State. What I saw in Dublin

125
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: was not fluky. It was a football team. It's nowhere

126
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: near what they were a year ago. And that gets

127
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: us to what I think maybe many of us saw

128
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: and thought last year when Jordan Travis got hurt and

129
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: that was the really sad thing for Florida State and

130
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: the toughest thing for those fans and for the coaching

131
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: staff and everyone associated there Mike norvellen company, is that

132
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: that was really their shot. Now, could they have won

133
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: it all? I'm skeptical, but healthy Jordan Travis, you're in

134
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: the mix. Without them, you had no chance, and that's

135
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: why you shouldn't have gotten into college football playoff. Some

136
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: will disagree with me, you're entitled to do so. I

137
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: think that changed everything because I don't think that the

138
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: team that you would have voted in was the team

139
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: that was going to be showing up. But once Travis leaves,

140
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: Keon Johnson leaves, they lose a ton of talent that

141
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: you're going to be watching on Sundays this year and

142
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: then years to come. You come back and they went

143
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: full on transfer portal. When you bring in Dju at quarterback,

144
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: with all due respect to him, what we have found

145
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: out about Dju is he's just a guy. He's He's

146
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: an average quarterback on a college level, and that's great,

147
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: but it's not for a Dju that came in Gangbusters

148
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: in his first action at Clemson and then never again

149
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: came close to duplicating that level of play. He went

150
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: to Washington State, he played pretty well, or Oregon stas

151
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: I should say, and he played pretty well, but he

152
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: never really felt like there was anything dynamic about Dju.

153
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: He wasn't a game changing kind of guy. He wasn't electric.

154
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: He was fine. I hesitate to use the term serviceable

155
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: because that really feels harsh and almost mean. But he's not.

156
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: You're not winning a bunch of games because he's your

157
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: quarterback doesn't mean you have to win in spite of him.

158
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: He's very much a game manager kind of guy. Last year,

159
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: last week in Dublin, in that loss to Georgia Tech,

160
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: he actually played well when you look at his actual

161
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: stat nine, but most of his passes weren't even five

162
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: yards past the line of scrimmage. So it was a

163
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: lot of short games and so when you see a

164
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: high completion percentage, it kind of masks the fact that

165
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: they were having a struggle moving the ball down the field.

166
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: And when he did try a couple of those throws

167
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: he was throwing in front of guys. He was just

168
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: inaccurate enough to put everything in doubt. But I just

169
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: don't think Florida State's very good. I don't know that

170
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: that's a team that's even going to be ranked at

171
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: the end of the year. But I certainly don't see

172
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: them getting in.

173
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 2: Now.

174
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: Monday night, they're going to play against Boston College, and

175
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: now you're going to have your eyes on that because

176
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: they have the one blemish and you can potentially overcome that.

177
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: But they've put themselves in the hole. As much as

178
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: as we want to talk about how, oh, Georgia Tech

179
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: could be good and coach Key and it's gonna be

180
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: something else, let's slow our role, slow down and recognize

181
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: that that Florida State team is just not very good.

182
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: They just don't look anywhere close to the team that

183
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: we saw a year ago. So that's why I slide

184
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: Tennessee in, because I think Tennessee is better than people

185
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: think if Florida State is worse. And then you look

186
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: at look NC State struggled. On Thursday night. North Carolina

187
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: lost Max Johnson. That's horrible for them, Horrible for the team,

188
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: horrible for Max Johnson. You wait all off season, you

189
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: bring in the quarterback, and the quarterback breaks his leg

190
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: against Minnesota on Thursday night on Fox, and now you

191
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: don't have him. But I mean, you look at the

192
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: rest of that conference, it's just not a lot great.

193
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: So I do only have one ACC team. So I've

194
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: got Memphis at twelve, Tennessee at eleven. Then I've got

195
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: ole Miss at ten. That's low for some, but it's

196
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: still the SEC. And ole Miss still has a like

197
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: a baffling loss somewhere in there some days, something that

198
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: just doesn't compute one day. But they've got Jackson Dart.

199
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 1: They've got a great roster. They spent a lot of

200
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: money on that roster as well. You have some that

201
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: have Jackson Dart as a Heisman contender or at least

202
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: a Heisman trending level player. I don't know that they're

203
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: going to be quite good enough to keep him there.

204
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: But I like ole Miss at ten. I like Michigan

205
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: at nine, And mainly it's because I like Sharon Moore

206
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: more than I like James Franklin on game day. I

207
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: understand that Sharon Moore doesn't have a ton of experience

208
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: as a head coach. But I liked what I saw

209
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: last year, and they kept the culture train running. Everything

210
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: that they had, they've still gotten more, really equated himself well,

211
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: and it looks like the young men at Michigan want

212
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: to play for him. And when it comes to James

213
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: Franklin on Saturdays, I want just about anybody else coaching.

214
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: If you want somebody to recruit, somebody to get you

215
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: to buy in all that kind of stuff, James Franklin

216
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: can do that very well. But when it comes down

217
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: to winning the football game on Saturday, making the decisions

218
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: that need to be made, and being that game day

219
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: coach that sometimes can carry a team that is just

220
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: above average but get them across, He's not that guy.

221
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: And they have yet to prove that they can find

222
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: a quarterback to get the job done. And if you

223
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: look at their wide receiver talent this year, there's not

224
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: very much of it. So I think Penn State is

225
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: going to be a major disappointment, even if they could

226
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: find their way into the playoff. Usually you see them

227
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: somewhere between nine and twelve on most people's list, maybe

228
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: sometimes even higher. I've got them completely off the board

229
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: because I just trust in what Michigan is doing and

230
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: what Sharon Moore is capable of doing. Even with Harball

231
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: out the door, they lost a lot of talent too,

232
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: but they've still got an awful lot of talents. I

233
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: got Michigan at nine, I got Alabama at eight. The

234
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: pressure level on kwind Bor is crazy. We've never seen

235
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: it before because you're replacing Nick Saban and a real

236
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: dynasty at Alabama. Not that they won last year, not

237
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: that they have become you know, they're now probably number

238
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: two in that conference, and that's a new place for

239
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: Alabama to be. But that's a tough spot to join

240
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: if you're a kaln to board. They have brought in talent,

241
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: he has assembled a really solid staff. We know what

242
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: he did at Washington and what he's capable of doing.

243
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: But we've never seen anybody replace Nick Saban at Alabama.

244
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 1: But someone was going to have to do it. Your

245
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: question is is Jaywen Milroe ready to step up and

246
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: be consistently great as opposed to sporadically great. Jaywen Milroe

247
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: does some spectacular stuff, but he also does some head

248
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: scratching stuff, and that's where you get yourself into trouble,

249
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: especially any sec where the margin for error is going

250
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: to be nil. I think with the level of talent

251
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: that they have on the field, on both sides of

252
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: the football and on the coaching staff, I think you're

253
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: in I don't think you're gonna win the SEC. I

254
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: think you're gonna take a couple of losses, probably during

255
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: the regular season, but I assume and expect that they're

256
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: gonna be good. It is how much growth we have

257
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: seen between twenty twenty three jo and Milroe and twenty

258
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: twenty four Jaywen Milroe, with the head coaching changes and

259
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: all that, that's gonna determine how good Alabama is. But

260
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: I certainly don't see a massive problem in terms of

261
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: where they were to where they are now. But at

262
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: the same time, this is there gonna be a half

263
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: step down? Or are we gonna see anything that gives

264
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: us pause? Or is there just gonna be enough new

265
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: that it's gonna be just a little more unpredictable than

266
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: you might want. That's something that we're still yet to

267
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: find out, and we're gonna find out. So I've given

268
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: you Memphis at twelve the best of the Power five

269
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: to me. But again, you can argue Liberty and I'll

270
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: certainly entertain that Tennessee at eleven, Ole Miss at ten, Michigan,

271
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: and nine Alabama at eight. So just in the five

272
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: that I've given you so far, I've given you three

273
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: out of the sec and we're not done with that conference.

274
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: And I realized, because of what time it is, we

275
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: can actually go ahead and go to break. After these

276
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: five come back, I can give you the seven, we

277
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: can get our update, and then we can actually get

278
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: through those twelve teams and what those matchups would look

279
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: like seating wise, and we can get to my national champion.

280
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: It is awesome to be able to do this and

281
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: not feel like we're speculating months and months out and

282
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen in the off season, what's gonna happen

283
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: before this and this and this and this. Yes, there

284
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: are gonna be injuries. We saw it on Thursday with

285
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: Max Johnson. But football is here. I'm watching highlights right

286
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: now on the screen of Western Michigan and Wisconsin from

287
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: last night, which were a little closer I would say

288
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: than Wisconsin was hoping for. That's a that was a

289
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: little dangerous. I mean in the fourth quarter, Western Michigan

290
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: held a lead by one. But yes, college football is here.

291
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: Week one is here. So when we come back, I'll

292
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: give you my top seven for the college football Playoff,

293
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: and then we'll actually go through those matchups and I'll

294
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: tell you who I think will win every single one

295
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: of them all the way to the national champion. I

296
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: can't give you better than that to open a show,

297
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: then to lay out the college football Playoff as I

298
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: see it as the season begins. This is the Bernie

310
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 5: here's how Dan Patrick described us when he came on

311

Speaker 5: our show.

312
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 2: Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.

313
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 6: What what are you doing? We were interrupting our promo?

314
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, you wasn't talking about you. You took those clips

315
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 7: totally of context.

316
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, well after this promo, I'm gonna take you

317
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 5: out and beat you. Let me put this into context.

318
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 6: Shut up. Yeah.

319
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,920

334
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: So I've been running through my twelve. If you heard

335
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: Torres and me a week ago, you already know this

336
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: because we went through it together, and he went through

337
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: his twelve, I went through mine. What I'm gonna do

338
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: is I'm gonna go through my twelve and then we're

339
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: gonna get an update from Kevin Wyatt, and then we're

340
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: gonna come back and I'll be able to give you

341
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: actually the matchups of the twelve and how I actually

342
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: see the brackets playing out through two way Champion that

343
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: when I started the exercise, I didn't think I was

344
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: gonna end up with and I just I went with

345
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: what felt right and I'm gonna stick by it. Nothing's

346
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: going to change from what I said a week ago.

347
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: So if you just tuned in, first off, welcome, and

348
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: if you came back out of the break, thanks appreciate that.

349
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: Memphis number twelve best of the Power five to me,

350
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: as I've said, Liberty is the other one that I

351
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: think you could make the argument for there. Tennessee at eleven,

352
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: Ole miss A ten, Michigan at nine, Alabama at eight

353
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 1: at seven, I've got Notre Dame. I just think they're

354
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: going to be there. I think Riley Leonard's really good.

355
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: Now are they going to be able to keep him upright?

356
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: They've got to make sure that the O line is

357
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: what it needs to be and it's Notre Dame, and

358
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: so you never want to get too high, but you

359
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: also never want to get too low. I really like

360
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman a lot. I have since he got the job,

361
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 1: since he took the job, since we saw the videos

362
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: of the players wanting him to get that job when

363
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly left for LSU. Their schedule, it's not easy,

364
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: but it's pretty favorable. I don't see a universe where

365
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: they're not in the twelve somewhere, but I've got them

366
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: at seven, just a hair above out Alabama, number six,

367
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: Texas first year for Sarkesian and Crew in the SEC,

368
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: and there'll be a blemish here or there, we know that,

369
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: but as long as they qualify, that's really all you

370
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: got to do. So at this stage, I've got Tennessee, Ole,

371
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: Miss Alabama, and Texas out of the SEC. And of

372
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: course we're not done because there's one school. Everybody is

373
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,719
Speaker 1: waiting for me to mention where I have them. But

374
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: Texas will get its season started in grand fashion. They're

375
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: not going to be challenged. They're going to win big,

376
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: but you're going to see a show. You can see

377
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: a lot of points put up by quinn Ewers and

378
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: that just very talented group of skill players around him.

379
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: But Texas is coming back after a year where they

380
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: were as advertised and better than advertised. I think the

381
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: whole is Texas back thing. It became a running joke

382
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: for so long and you could technically say they're back,

383
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: but really it's just Texas is here, like Texas has arrived,

384
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: because the Texas that you may remember is not back.

385
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 1: Mac Brown is not there and he's not going to

386
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: be there. But Sarkisian has them not just in the mix,

387
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: but as a legit contender at this stage in his tenure,

388
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: and he has He's grown up a lot, He's battled

389
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: some demons we all know of those, and he's put

390
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: himself in a good spot and it's good to see.

391
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: I think America loves a redemption story, and he is

392
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: certainly an example of one. Number five. I have Ohio

393
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: State that is lower than you're going to see. If

394
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: you go read articles and season previews, they could easily

395
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 1: be number two. There's no denying that they have brought

396
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: in a talented quarterback. They've gone out and grabbed some

397
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: excellent skill players to go with Will Howard. But of

398
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: course you lose Marvin Harrison junior. We already know what

399
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,959
Speaker 1: they usually are from a talent perspective. To me, this

400
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: comes down to the coach. Remember I told you I

401
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: have Michigan at nine and not Penn State in the twelve.

402
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: But certainly it would have been in this spot that

403
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: I would have had. Penn State. I believe as well,

404
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: But I just trust more in Michigan more than I

405
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: trust Franklin on game day, even if I think Penn

406
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: State is better in some ways. I mean, Penn State's

407
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: going to feel a good defense, but I don't trust

408
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 1: them to be able to score enough points. And I

409
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: certainly don't trust them to beat the teams that you

410
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: have to beat to put yourself in the mix. Ohio State.

411
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 1: I'm not to that level. But Ryan Day. This is

412
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: a big year for Ryan Day. Huge year. I read

413
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: an article on Friday night, fairly early in the evening

414
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: that asked if they don't win a championship, does he

415
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: save his job? That's a tough thing to ask for

416
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: somebody that's never done it. That that's that is now

417
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: what he has to do to keep his job. I

418
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: don't know that it's quite that dire, but they're going

419
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: to have to win a couple of games that we

420
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: haven't seen him win lately. They're certainly going to have

421
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: to reverse the Michigan thing. But past that, there needs

422
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: to be a sense of difference in how the game

423
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: is coached and the aggressive nature. And so you bring

424
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: in Chip Kellway and you hand over the play calling

425
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: to him, maybe that's going to be good. I don't

426
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: think that Chip Kelly's play calling in twenty twenty four

427
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 1: has the same luster on it that it did a

428
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 1: decade ago, but it's still a smart move for Ryan

429
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: Day to bring someone in and to also acknowledge, Yeah,

430
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: I could use some help and I could use another

431
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: set of eyes on this, But I didn't think that

432
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: Ryan Day's play calling in general was the problem. He

433
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 1: just needs somebody to tell to light a fire under

434
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: him in those moments when he gets timid against top

435
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: flight opposition and just say, hey, man, stick with your gut.

436
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: You know you're good, go for it. And maybe that's

437
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: what Chip Kelly can do for him and maybe hand

438
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: and play calling to somebody that is going to push

439
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: the envelope in that direction. We'll get him there. But

440
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: I've got Ohio State at five, number four, I've got

441
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 1: Clemson and it's the only bid that I have out

442
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 1: of the ACC. The mediocrity in that conference is big time.

443
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: I think that you will see this weekend Miami and

444
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: Florida are gonna play in That's a great matchup to

445
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: open the season. That's two schools with a lot to prove.

446
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: Crystal Ball is trying to hang on to the job,

447
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: but their top twenty ranked team and then Florida. That

448
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: seat is just lightning hot. Just I mean, it is

449
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: scorching hot for Billy Napier. And they've decided they're going

450
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: to play the toughest schedule in the country. Their schedule,

451
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, is insanity. They're gonna have a lot

452
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 1: of winnable games in the first half of that season,

453
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: but the second half of that season at Tennessee and

454
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: then they go to and then they get Kentucky at home,

455
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: then in order Georgia at Texas, LSU at Ole Miss,

456
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: and at Florida State. And then you add in the

457
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: Miami game this weekend and Texas A and M in

458
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: Week three. That is one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

459
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 1: eight games that they could easily lose. You lose eight

460
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: games in your Billy Napier. With where they find themselves,

461
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: then Napier is going to go back to being a

462
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: really good coach somewhere else because it just didn't happen

463
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 1: for him at Florida. But to the acc side with

464
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: Florida State, just to me, what you saw last week

465
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: is more indicative of what you're going to see this year.

466
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: They're going to struggle. I'm not saying they're gonna below

467
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: five hundred, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them

468
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: out of the top twenty five at the end of

469
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: this year. I just don't think they have the level

470
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: of talent that they had last year, especially in the

471
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: spots you have to have it. And at quarterback they

472
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: took a pretty significant step down from Jordan Travis to dju.

473
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: So process of elimination, somebody asked to win the conference,

474
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: and the team that wins the conference is then going

475
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: to get the automatic bid into the twelve. And so

476
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: I've got Clemson there. Even though I think Clemson's probably

477
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 1: going to get smacked in Atlanta against Georgia at noon today.

478
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: Number three Utah Cam Rising five touchdowns already for this season.

479
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: I thought he was going to come out a blazon

480
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: after missing basically all of last year with that injury.

481
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: But the fact you get him back and then you

482
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: add Kyle Whittingham to it, Winningham wins with anybody, and

483
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: now he's got Cam Rising, who really wants to prove something.

484
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: I think you're in a really good spot if you're Utah.

485
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: I like them to win the Big twelve, to get

486
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 1: the automatic bid, and to be very dangerous all the

487
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: way through this thing. Number two. If I said Ohio

488
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: States at five, it easily could have been at two.

489
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: And I've already told you Michigan, and I also told

490
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: you that State's not gonna be in my twelve. Number

491
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 1: two should be obvious. It's Dan Lanning and Oregon, And

492
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 1: really I like Dan Lanning's attitude and that culture more

493
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: than I like Ryan Day's attitude right now in terms

494
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: of the killer instinct and just the right mix of

495
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 1: cocky and confident. You're gonna see just a week or

496
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: so from now in Eugene, Ohio State against Oregon. That

497
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 1: to me is gonna determine the Big Ten champion in

498
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: Oregon's gonna beat Ohio State, and that's gonna be a

499
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 1: big time game. I can't wait to see it. That's

500
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: gonna play into a lot later in the season. But

501
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: that's why I've got Oregon winning the Big Ten. I

502
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 1: just think I think when it comes down to it,

503
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: I trust the coach more at Oregon. Even though and

504
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: Erin Torre has made this point to me last week,

505
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what their signature win is either under

506
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: Dan Lanning. I just like what I see there, and

507
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: that's more on just the eye test and just watching them.

508
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: I trust them, and you know, you bring in Dylan Gabriel.

509
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: He should be very good with the skill talent up there.

510
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: I like them, and I got Georgia one. The roster

511
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: is still the best in the country. Kirby Smart has

512
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: not forgotten how to coach. They've won two of the

513
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: last three national champions They're looking at three in the

514
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: last four, which is just insane in this era of

515
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: college football. To me, they're the big dogs. So there's

516
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: your twelve. So now we're gonna go to Kevin Wyre

517
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: and we come back. Then I'm actually gonna start going

518
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: through these games to get you to my champion here.

519
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: But first let us go out to LA and talk

520
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: to Kevin Wyre. Kevin, what's happening?

521
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, college football is back and we had our first

522
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 4: edition of the ACC after dark. Mean, I hardy believe

523
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 4: we're saying that right. Stanford just doesn't feel right saying

524
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 4: they're a member of the ACC. But they did play

525
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 4: their first game of their twenty twenty four campaign as

526
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 4: a member of that conference. They hosted TCU in Palo

527
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 4: alt So this game was close up until inside two

528
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 4: minutes ago in the fourth quarter, as the Cardinal trail

529
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 4: TCU by just three points. It was twenty seven to

530
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 4: twenty four. They mainly hung around because a TCU shot

531
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 4: themselves in the foot plenty of times. They lost a

532
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 4: turnover battle to one, losing two fumbles. They also committed

533
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 4: seven penalties for one hundred yards compared to just four

534
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 4: penalties for nineteen yards or Scanford, though. That's why TCU

535
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 4: had to pull away late. But they do eventually win

536
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 4: at thirty four to twenty seven. Elsewhere in college football,

537
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 4: it was close for much of the game in Madison, Wisconsin,

538
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 4: though wins at home against Western Michigan twenty eight fourteen

539
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 4: to open their season, Oklahoma blowing out Temple fifty one

540
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 4: to three to two began their twenty twenty four campaign,

541
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 4: and Michigan State hanging on for a sixteen to ten

542
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 4: win against Florida. Atlantic Duke and Army both easy wins

543
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 4: against FCS teams. Tennis, there's chaos at the US Open.

544
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 4: Down goes Novak Djokovic. He loses to the twenty eighth

545
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 4: seed in the tournament, Alexaity Poppy Wren in four sets.

546
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 4: So this comes to day after Carlos Alcarez lost on

547
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 4: the same court, So this tournament is wide open, at

548
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 4: least on the men's side of things. And Coco Goff

549
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 4: does advance in two sets, beating twenty seventh seeded Alena

550
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 4: Ceviti lone vit Tolina three six sixty three six three.

551
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 4: Major League Baseball plumby of action on this Friday night,

552
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 4: Dodgers and Diamondbacks out in the desert, and it feels

553
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 4: like we say this every time, but joey Otani making history.

554
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 8: Deal two swang on a hammer left field. This one's deep,

555
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 8: this one's heading back toward the wall.

556
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 9: It's got a home run number forty three, the first

557
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 9: Major leaguer to have forty three home runs, forty three

558
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 9: stolen bases, steep passers Alex Rodriguez to the forty two.

559
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 4: To forty two club. That says it all right there.

560
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 4: That was Tim Neverett on FSR affiliate Keyley seeing the

561
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 4: Dodgers radio network. The Dodgers were up a ten to

562
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 4: five on one point that had to hang on as

563
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 4: their bullpen once again giving up some runs ten nine.

564
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 4: The finals score out in the desert. Some other scores

565
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 4: from late night on the West Coast Giants over the

566
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 4: Marlins three to one, Angels fall to the Mariners nine

567
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 4: to five, Orioles over the Rockies in at Denver five

568
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 4: to three. And in the WNBA, Caitlin Clark thirty one

569
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 4: points and twelve assists as the Fever beat the Chicago

570
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 4: Sky one hundred and eighty one. Indiana l improved to

571
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 4: sixteen and sixty.

572
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 6: They're No.

573
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 4: Five hundred just one year after they finished dead last

574
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 4: in at the Eastern Conference. They talk about how Caitlin

575
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 4: Clark has transformed the league. Well, she's definitely transformed her

576
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 4: team into a playoff contender. They currently occupy the number

577
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 4: six seed in the WNBA standings. Angel reached for her part,

578
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 4: though at double double, ten points and eleven rebounds in

579
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 4: that loss. Brianna Stewart Powers deliberty passed the Storm ninety

580
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 4: eight eighty five as she led the way with thirty

581
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 4: six points and sad news this morning in the NHL,

582
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 4: a seven time All Star Johnny Goudreau of the Blue

583
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 4: Jackets his younger brother Matthew killed when they were biking

584
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 4: and they were struck by a vehicle driven buy a

585
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 4: drunk driver. Gudreu He won the Hobe Baker Award as

586
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 4: College Hockey's top player at Boston College. He was just

587
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 4: thirty one years old, his brother Matthew only twenty nine.

588
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: That's you. That story's awful. There's nowhere to go after that.

589
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a seven time All Star thirty one,

590
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: biking with his brother. I can't even imagine the heartbreak

591
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: in that family. And don't get behind a car if

592
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: you've had alcohol. I mean, come on, do we really

593
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: have to say this out loud? Don't do that. There's

594
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: nothing good that can come from that except that you

595
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: escape and you get home. And you're just like, oh, man,

596
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: that was dangerous, but I got here. Don't take that risk.

597
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: That ruined his life too. This driver ruined his life too.

598
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: He's not ever getting over that. Whether he ends up,

599
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: you know, going to jail for vehicular homicide or whatever

600
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: comes from it. Is that worth it? But just a

601
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: horrible story for the NHL in the sports world. I mean,

602
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: even if it was. But the thing is, even if

603
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: it was two people you've never heard of before, but

604
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: the story came through and it wasn't you know, a

605
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: crazy great hockey player and his brother was just a

606
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: random story. Still just as bad, and it was so

607
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: easy for that not to happen, but for just reckless

608
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: disregard for human life or just not taking serious things

609
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: seriously enough. So there's your top twelven college football playoff.

610
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: I gave you that before we went to Kevin Wyre

611
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: and they started talking about some other sports that I

612
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: actually wanted to get into. So we may actually just

613
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: carry this through into the second hour. We're gonna go

614
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: ahead and take a break, We're gonna come back. I

615
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: might actually shift gears momentarily. I want to talk about

616
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: us open a bit, and I do want to talk

617
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: about Caitlin Clark a bit. I'd like to clean up

618
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: those stories, just just talk about them for a couple

619
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: of minutes, because I think they deserve it. Then we

620
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: can get into the college football Playoff in terms of

621
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: those twelve teams and the matchups to open the second hour,

622
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna jump into the NFL. I'm gonna

623
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: give you my five biggest questions entering the NFL season,

624
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: So I'm giving you a roadmap right now. Don't go anywhere.

625
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: We'll be right back on Fox Sports Radio.

630
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: Ferrado Show here on Fox Sports Radio. My Good powert

631
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: Bernie Ferrato is out this weekend. I'm Jason Martin, blessed

632
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: to be in his chair this evening or this early morning,

633
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: depending on how you evaluate it. Like you could call

634
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:53,280
Speaker 1: it either thing because it is dark outside, but whatever

635
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,959
Speaker 1: you do, you you can hear me tonight with Aaron

636
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: Torres in our usual spot, which basically ends your college

637
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 1: football night lot. This is our favorite time of year.

638
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 1: This is when the fact that they pay us to

639
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: sit here and just comment on the football that's happening

640
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: in front of us and the football that has happened

641
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: prior to us, and then preview the football that's coming

642
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,959
Speaker 1: up the next day. I mean, I'm digging it. Let's

643
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: just say that. So I gave you my top I

644
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: gave you my twelve college football playoff seeds. I'll give

645
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: them to you again to open the second hour, and

646
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: then we'll actually go through the games and I'll take

647
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: you all the way through my champion. But I did

648
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: actually want to derail momentarily. There's a lot to get

649
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: to in football, but just a couple of things happening

650
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: in a world of sports to end this hour that

651
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: I do think are relevant. Djokovic will loses to the

652
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: number twenty eight player in the world, and we saw

653
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: Carlos Acarez lose yesterday in straight says on Thursday. So

654
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: you have alkaaz who's won two majors this year, and

655
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 1: you have Djokovic who's going to end the year without

656
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: a major. And the reason why I think this is

657
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 1: worth mentioning is that this is now the first year

658
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,280
Speaker 1: since two thousand and two when you're going to finish

659
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 1: a tennis season without either Djokovic, Nadal or Federer winning

660
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: a Grand Slam. This is a ten time finalist who's

661
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 1: won four, who just won the gold medal in the Olympics,

662
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: and he actually said, you know, I was out of gas.

663
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to go and give it my best, but

664
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 1: it took a lot to go win that gold medal,

665
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: and I didn't have my game about me at all.

666
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: And his opponent even said I was waiting for him

667
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: to kind of step up. I was waiting for that guy,

668
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: and he didn't really come like he said the exact

669
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 1: same thing. It's kind of amazing, Like you would have thought, oh, man,

670
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: don't make excuses, just give credit to the other guy.

671
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: But truthfully, he didn't look great and he was admitting

672
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, I came in not feeling particularly good.

673
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: And his opponent even said, yeah, that didn't feel like

674
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: Djokovic had beaten him several times in the past. He

675
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: had never beaten him before as a matter of fact.

676
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: But I think the point that I want to make

677
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: about it's the first time in twenty two years when

678
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: one of those three guys Djokovic, Nadalar Federer hasn't won

679
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: a Slam is I don't know that sometimes we appreciate

680
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: the greatness that's in front of us while we have

681
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: it like there was going to come a time when

682
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: those guys were not going to be playing. I mean,

683
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: Jokevic is now thirty seven years old. Alcora is GONI

684
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: to be around for a while, but he's not part

685
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: of that mix yet. You can't give him that as

686
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: good as he is. But we were watching all time.

687
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: We were watching the greatest ever going head to head

688
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: dueling tournament after tournament after tournament, and I think that

689
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: the thing that stinks about it is so many in

690
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: the United States never really paid attention to it because

691
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: there weren't that many. There wasn't an American to watch.

692
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: It's not that there was nobody, but there was nobody

693
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: that was on that level. It wasn't Sam person agacy

694
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: at that point. It was it was Andy Murray at best.

695
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: But then you know, you had your Sam queries and

696
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: you had guys like that and dudes that were fun

697
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: to watch to have good personality, but they just weren't

698
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: top top, top level players, and as such, I don't

699
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: think we were dialed in the way that we were

700
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: in the nineties when you had five or six deep

701
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 1: on the men's side of just incredibly talented tennis players

702
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: from America. It's the reason I letter in tennis in

703
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: high school, and it was the sport that I played.

704
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: I loved it. I played it every afternoon. I knew everybody,

705
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: you know, I went in tournaments and all that kind

706
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: of stuff, even outside of school, playing in city tournaments

707
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: where I was in North Carolina, tennis was big tom

708
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: and it kind of fell off, and I think because

709
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it fell off here, and the reason why

710
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: is because there was just nobody here to watch. On

711
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: the women's side, you had the Williams sisters, but eventually

712
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: that was going to come to an end. But I

713
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: think the point being just don't miss what you've got

714
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: in front of you while you've got it, appreciate it.

715
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: You're always going to appreciate greatness more in the rear

716
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: view than as it's happening, because then you get to

717
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: really see man that was something special, like Tiger in

718
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: his prime. You know what greatness was. Even if it's

719
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: not there now, we can remember a time when it

720
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: was there. Well, we're coming to a time when tennis

721
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 1: is going to be looking for its next future. But

722
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: we may never see what we just saw ever happen again.

723
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 1: As Djokovic goes down, and then of course Alcaa is

724
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: losing on Thursday. Other thing quickly before the end of

725
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: the hour, Kaitlyn Clark thirty one points twelve assists, only

726
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,720
Speaker 1: the third player in WNBA history to have a thirty

727
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: and ten regulation game. Enescu did it two years ago

728
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: and Diana Tarassi did it once in her career. So

729
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: all of the Kaitlin Clark's not that good talk, You

730
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: can go ahead and quiet that down. They're sixteen and sixteen.

731
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: This is the first time they've been at least five

732
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: hundred and one hundred and five games. And by the way,

733
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 1: I'm talking about it in the first hour of a

734
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 1: national sports radio show because I think that's actually interesting,

735
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: and Caitlyn Clark moves the needle. I still don't think

736
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 1: you got a league, and now the football is back,

737
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: you really don't have a league, but you still got

738
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 1: a player. People are gonna look at the box scores

739
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 1: for you totally blew it at the Olympics. I'm gonna

740
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: tell you again, Yes you won the gold, but she

741
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: should have at least been on the bench because no

742
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: one even knew that they played and their season stopped.

743
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: And then you've come back, and I don't think that

744
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: they've brought everybody back with them. And now you got

745
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: football that takes up our attention. Again, Appreciate what you

746
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: have while you have it. But good on Caitlyn Clark

747
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: for coming out blazing since they've come back. When we

748
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 1: come back, I'm gonna take the twelve seeds. I'm gonna

749
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: repeat them to you, and I'm gonna give you the games,

750
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna take you to a national champion in

751
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:52,919
Speaker 1: college football. Plenty of NFL and yes, Colorado Escapes. You're

765
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 1: I actually see the thing playing out. But I got derailed.

766
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 1: I was thinking of something else. Sid Udy passed away.

767
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: Sid Vicious if you remember him from or perhaps you

768
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: remember him as Sid Justice in WWF at the time,

769
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 1: but I knew him first in the National Wrestling Alliance

770
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 1: in the late eighties when I was still living in Martinsville, Virginia,

771
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: in my hometown, and then later in w in Salem,

772
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: and I probably wouldn't talk about this. I mean, if

773
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: you have listened to me for years or know me

774
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: or know of me, then you know I worked in

775
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: pro wrestling for a very long time, both as a

776
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: writer and as an announcer, and then not just as

777
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:22,240
Speaker 1: a columnist but actually writing the content and writing articles

778
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: and things of that nature as well. And so it's

779
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: been a large part in my life podcast host for

780
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: years and all that stuff too. But I lost my

781
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: dad back on July the eighth, and I'm still really

782
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: kind of coming to grips with that. And the one

783
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 1: thing that you don't have time for with the busy

784
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 1: season of life when something like this happens is to

785
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 1: properly mourn. And I don't know that I have. It

786
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 1: kind of comes in stages, or it comes in this

787
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: big time memory, in this big time moment, and Sid

788
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: Vicious is passing is one of those kind of moments

789
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: for me because it reflects the kind of guy Dad was.

790
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,919
Speaker 1: And I remember being It was a Shoneese restaurant where

791
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: they had the breakfast buffet, and I was there with

792
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,479
Speaker 1: Dad one Saturday morning after we had gone to see

793
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: the WCW event, and it would have been I think

794
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: ninety the fall of ninety and in there were some

795
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 1: wrestlers and they were all heels, they were all bad guys.

796
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: It was the Iron Sheet who also has passed. It

797
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 1: was the Nasty Boys, Brian Knobs and Jerry Saggs, it

798
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: was Dirty dutch Man Tel and it was Sid Vicious

799
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: and Sid at that point the night before he had

800
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 1: worked Sting in the main event in the Championship and

801
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: that was the program that they were working towards. After

802
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: Stinging won the title in the summer at the Great

803
00:43:55,680 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: American Bash, he ended up working Sid who was saying

804
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: the Four Horsemen going into Halloween havoc then, So this

805
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,240
Speaker 1: would have been sometime between October and December of nineteen ninety.

806
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: I was again already a massive, massive fan, didn't know

807
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 1: how big until it became a career, but I wanted

808
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: their autographs. But they were heels, and especially then, that

809
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: was not a time where the heels in public really

810
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: revealed themselves too often. It's not that it didn't happen,

811
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: but we still lived in an age of kfabe where

812
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: it was taken seriously and where babyfaces and heels didn't

813
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: drive into the arena together to be seen. And I

814
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: remember many shows that I did if I was a

815
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: heel at that point in time, as a manager character

816
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 1: or something like that. I remember full well letting someone

817
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 1: out of a car a half mile early and letting

818
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: them walk the rest of the way so that we

819
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: didn't come in together, because we were going to end up,

820
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: you know, on opposite sides of an altercation later on

821
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,399
Speaker 1: in the evening. So at the time like you could

822
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: get snapped off pretty easily by a heel that was

823
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: trying to keep himself in character. But I wanted their

824
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: autograph without hesitation. I'll never forget it. Dad went and

825
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 1: asked him, and he came back with a receipt because

826
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 1: we didn't have any paper that was signed by every

827
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 1: one of them, including Sid Vicious, who passed away this week,

828
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: and I've still got it. I found it when I

829
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 1: was cleaning out their house. As a matter of fact,

830
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 1: don't know why it all came to me to do

831
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 1: that to open this second hour of the show, but

832
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 1: it just it's just another one of those memories that

833
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,399
Speaker 1: comes up as we're, you know, six seven weeks away

834
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: from the kind of crazy turn of events that led

835
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: to Dad's passing. And the Sid Vicious memory that I

836
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: remember the most. Even though I did a show with

837
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: the guy, certainly watched his entire career, knew a lot

838
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: of people that knew him pretty well. The memory I

839
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:14,399
Speaker 1: have is of Dad getting his autograph for me when

840
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: I was twelve and wents to say im North Carolina

841
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: at his shonies. After of course, Dad took me to

842
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: the matches the night before, just kind of guy Dad

843
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: was And credit to Sid and those guys for finding

844
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: a way to just kind of joke with me, because

845
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 1: they did. They came over the table at one point

846
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: they kind of joked about because I was wearing a

847
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: Sting shirt and that's the guy said. It just worked.

848
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: I was terrified. I was twelve, and I knew that

849
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: it wasn't fully legit. But at the same time, Sid's

850
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: a pretty intimidating presence, and so he told a joke

851
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:52,399
Speaker 1: about Sting being stink and all it was. It worked out.

852
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 1: But anyway, long story hopefully short. Dad was great guy

853
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 1: to miss him and RP to Sid as well because

854
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 1: he left a big time imprint on the industry because

855
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 1: he was a larger than life figure and looked the part. Okay,

856
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: so we'll shift back now. My college football playoff twelve

857
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 1: to one. I had Memphis at twelve. You can argue

858
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,839
Speaker 1: Liberty Tennessee at eleven, Ole Miss at ten, Michigan at nine,

859
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: Alabama at eight, Notre Dame at seven, Texas at six,

860
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: Ohio State at five, Florida sorry, Clemson at four, Utah

861
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: at three, Oregon at two, and Georgia at one. So

862
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 1: who do I have out Penn State because I just

863
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 1: don't trust James Franklin. On game day Kansas State, I

864
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 1: just think it's going to be a little difficult to

865
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: replace what they had, losing the quarterback Oklahoma who won big.

866
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what was weird. If you watch any

867
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:53,439
Speaker 1: of the Oklahoma Temple game, which certainly you probably didn't

868
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: watch it for very long. I think it was fifty

869
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: one to three, the SEC patch on the Oklahoma uniform,

870
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 1: it just looked weird. I can't believe we are to

871
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: this place. It's gonna look the same when you see

872
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 1: it with Texas this weekend, and of course all the

873
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 1: Big ten schools USC with a Big ten logo is

874
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 1: gonna look weird on Sunday night against LSU. We're in

875
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 1: a new universe, folks, new universe. But I've got Penn State,

876
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: k State, Oklahoma out Florida State. I told you, I

877
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: just I don't think they're very good, and I don't

878
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: think that it was because they got caught up in

879
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 1: a weird situation. Although I wouldn't want to play that

880
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: Dublin game if I'm sort of a pretty good, too

881
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: good football team, especially if I'm a ranked team, I

882
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: don't know what the win is for you there, because

883
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 1: that's a tough place to go play to start, it's

884
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: a neutral site of all neutral sites. You've got all

885
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 1: sorts of distractions. It's week one or week zero, so

886
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: you're still trying to gel and figure out who is

887
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,720
Speaker 1: what and who you got and who you can trust

888
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 1: and chemistry and all those things. It was a perfect storm,

889
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: but I think the thing that was displayed past all

890
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: of that is just I don't think the talent is

891
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: what it was a year ago. So I've got them

892
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 1: out as well, and I don't have Miami in and

893
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,320
Speaker 1: I mentioned I took Memphis over Liberty, but that was

894
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: probably the toughest call for me because I think, I mean,

895
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 1: one of them is definitely going to get in. I mean,

896
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 1: one team that's, you know, the top Power five team

897
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 1: will get in. I think it's going to be one

898
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,439
Speaker 1: of those two. And then I don't have LSUN either,

899
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: and they're like a thirteen seed to enter the season

900
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: playing against sc on Sunday night. Okay, So that sets

901
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: up an eight to nine matchup Alabama Michigan, which is

902
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: as you'll take that every day in your eight nine matchup.

903
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: I got Alabama beating Michigan in that game, which they

904
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: would also be hosting in Bryant, Denny and Tallahassee. I

905
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 1: think that would make a big difference. But in those

906
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 1: two and I do think Alabama is a more talented

907
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: team than Michigan. I just think Michigan's culture and the

908
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: fact that they've gotten used to winning, and I think

909
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: they know what that feels like and when it gets tight,

910
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 1: I trust them more than I do for instance of

911
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: Penn State. So I've got Alabama over Michigan. Then in

912
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 1: the five to twelve matchup, because the top four seeds

913
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: all get buys, so it's Ohio State at Memphis playing

914
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,760
Speaker 1: out Ohio State, and then Ohio State wins that game easily.

915
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,839
Speaker 1: Then you've got the seven to ten matchup Notre Dame

916
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 1: and Old Miss. For me, Notre Dame would host that game.

917
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: But I've got Old Miss being better than Notre Dame

918
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: just being able to score more points. And I think

919
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 1: that even though that might you would want that one

920
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:42,919
Speaker 1: to become ugly. I think if you were a Notre

921
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 1: Dame fan, even though Riley Leonard can at times really

922
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 1: bring it up, I just don't think they've got quite

923
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: enough in that matchup, and then Texas Tennessee, which I

924
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 1: just think could be an incredibly good football game. At

925
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 1: that point, I've got Texas beating Tennessee in the six

926
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 1: to eleven match up, So that then gives me Alabama,

927
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 1: Ohio State, Ole Miss, and Texas joining Georgia, Oregon, Utah

928
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: and Clemson that being your final eight. So that gives

929
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 1: you a quarterfinal round that would include Georgia and Alabama,

930
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 1: Ohio State and Clemson, ole Miss, and Oregon Utah in Texas.

931
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 1: So in the one eight matchup of Alabama and Georgia,

932
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: I got Georgia beating Alabama. They got the most talent

933
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: in the country, and that I think is where Carson

934
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 1: Beck is going to be better than Jayalen Milroe. Beck

935
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 1: could win the Heisman this year. I mean Milrow I

936
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 1: guess could too. But I think one of the more

937
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 1: underappreciated things from last year is that Carson Beck was

938
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: really good and it kind of went under the radar,

939
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 1: and it's not going to this year. He's going to

940
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: be great. So I got Georgia Overbama. I got Ohio

941
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: State over Clemson, because again I don't think Clemson is

942
00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: one of the top twelve teams by the end of

943
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 1: the sea. But they're gonna win the ACC I think

944
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: by default, So that's going to put them in in

945
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 1: that four spot. But then when you get them against

946
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: Ohio State, even though it's a five to four matchup

947
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: and Clemson would be the four, I don't think anybody

948
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 1: thinks that Clemson's going to be a better team at

949
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: the end of the year than Ohio State. And I

950
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: think Ohio State is going to roll in that game.

951
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: Ole Miss Oregon is interesting because there could be a

952
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 1: whole lot of points and that will be a shootout

953
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: and it will be fun to watch, and I think

954
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: Oregon will beat them. I think Oregon. Oregon's going to

955
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: be Oregon is one of those teams that if they

956
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: do win it all, it's going to surprise very few people.

957
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 1: They're loaded. You add Dylan Gabriel to that, that's a

958
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:49,760
Speaker 1: pretty good Constellation prize after losing bnicks to the NFL

959
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 1: to my Denver Broncos. As a matter of fact, we

960
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 1: might be talking about him a little later. As a

961
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 1: matter of fact, but I got an Oregon over Ole

962
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 1: Miss and then already mentioned Cam Rising five touchdowns him

963
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,839
Speaker 1: against Quinnewers or I guess archs manning by that point,

964
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 1: not because Ewers loses a job, but maybe an injury

965
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: or something. You have a pretty good backup quarterback in Texas,

966
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 1: but Utah and Texas playing in that final quarterfinal matchup.

967
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 1: I've got Texas beating Utah there. So Texas is the

968
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 1: six and Utah is the three, and certainly wouldn't be

969
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 1: shocked if winning him won that game. But I got

970
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 1: Texas winning it. Just I just I like that the

971
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:32,839
Speaker 1: makeup of that football team in general. So that gives

972
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:36,800
Speaker 1: you this is your final four. Georgia, Ohio State, Oregon, Texas,

973
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:41,840
Speaker 1: Georgia and Ohio State matchup in the one to five matchup.

974
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: Most have that as a one to two, which you

975
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:48,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't see yet. But because I have Oregon winning the conference,

976
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: winning the Big Ten, then Ohio State being a five

977
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 1: makes that possible in the semis, so you got Georgia,

978
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 1: Ohio State, and Oregon Texas. I got Ohio State upsetting Georgia.

979
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 1: I don't think they're as good as Georgia. I just

980
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 1: for some reason, I think we're going to see some

981
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: weird stuff this year. I just do. I think there

982
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: are a lot of teams that are capable of beating

983
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,360
Speaker 1: one another, and that's the point of a twelve team playoff.

984
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 1: And I think as we get to my finals and

985
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 1: how this all plays out, I think the winner this

986
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 1: year is going to be proof of concept because if

987
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: you just end up with one, two, the same detractors

988
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,880
Speaker 1: that have tried to talk against a twelve team playoff

989
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: for so long are going to be out in force

990
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: to say, yep, told you so, and it could well happen.

991
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, And I'm not like voting against

992
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:39,840
Speaker 1: it to be contrary to that. I just for again,

993
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: when I sat down did the exercise, I went with

994
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 1: my heart the entire way through and said, this is

995
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 1: what I think is going to happen. And I ended

996
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: up without those the teams that you would expect to

997
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:54,400
Speaker 1: be there to be there at least based on my

998
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:56,800
Speaker 1: seeds and the way that the season plays out. So

999
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,399
Speaker 1: I've got Ohio State beating Georgia, the five beating A one,

1000
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 1: and then I've got Texas beating Oregon. I've got the

1001
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 1: six beating the two. Any one of those four teams

1002
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 1: could win it, no question they could win at all.

1003
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 1: But I've got Ohio State and Texas as my national

1004
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 1: championship game. Ohio State's got the talent advantage here. I'm

1005
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 1: going with Texas to win it all, Folks, I did

1006
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 1: not when I started that. It's not like I sat

1007
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:30,320
Speaker 1: down and said, all right, well, Texas is my champion,

1008
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 1: how do we get there. I went through the matchups.

1009
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: I went through the twelve teams, and then the matchups

1010
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 1: and the bracket, and when I got to the end

1011
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 1: of it, it was Texas that I felt the best about.

1012
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:43,439
Speaker 1: So I've got a six winning it in year one

1013
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: of the twelve team playoff against a five. So that's

1014
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 1: why I say my champion is proof of concept, because

1015
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 1: if that happens, it's gonna be hard to argue that

1016
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: the twelve team playoff wasn't a good idea. Texas at

1017
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:00,840
Speaker 1: six means they're not going to be an under feeded champion.

1018
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 1: But we live in the universe where that's not gonna

1019
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 1: have to happen anymore, And maybe you're gonna be able

1020
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 1: to lose two and still win a title on a

1021
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 1: regular basis. Perhaps are you playing your best football at

1022
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 1: the end? Are you healthy at the end, and are

1023
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 1: you that proverbial team nobody wants to see going into

1024
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 1: the postseason. I think Texas it's all of those, even

1025
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: though they don't win the SEC. I got Georgia winning

1026
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: the SEC, but Texas doesn't have to play them again

1027
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:30,320
Speaker 1: if Ohio State knocks them off first, and then I

1028
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 1: like how Texas matches up with Ihowa State, and I

1029
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: think Texas wins. So there is my national champion again.

1030
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 1: You're as surprised as me because that's not where I

1031
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:43,320
Speaker 1: thought I was going when I started looking at it.

1032
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 1: But that's the first time I've done it that way.

1033
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 1: You know, I just think it's going to be this

1034
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,319
Speaker 1: team this season. I didn't do it that way. I've

1035
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: done it that way almost every year, but this time

1036
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 1: it was I'm just just gonna go ahead and do

1037
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: the bracket and just see how I feel about all

1038
00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:00,840
Speaker 1: these matchups. And I thought it broke Texas's way, So

1039
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 1: we'll see. I could be an idiot or I could

1040
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 1: be prophetic. I said prophetic, not pathetic. By the way,

1041
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 1: some of you Oklahoma fans and people that don't like

1042
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:12,800
Speaker 1: Texas are probably that way. Look I don't like Texas.

1043
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean I'm an SEC and ACC guy and have

1044
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 1: lived in this territory of my whole life, I do

1045
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 1: the show out of Nashville. I mean, I'm not a

1046
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 1: giant Texas fan by any means. I usually would pick

1047
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 1: against them just because of I just kind of have

1048
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 1: a negative connotation to them generally, and think that their

1049
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: fans could be pretty obnoxious the way that they act

1050
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 1: like they are ordained to win every year when they

1051
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 1: haven't been ordained to win in fifteen years. But they're good,

1052
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: and Sarcasians turned it around, and so that's what I

1053
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: came up with. When we come back, we're gonna shift

1054
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: from the college game to the pro game. I want

1055
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 1: to start laying out some of my biggest questions entering

1056
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,439
Speaker 1: the NFL season, beginning with this one after the break.

1057
00:57:56,640 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 1: Which of these three quarterbacks is under the most pressure

1058
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 1: this season in the AFC. I'll tell you who they are. Yeah,

1059
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: I'll tease it.

1060
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:07,439
Speaker 3: I won't.

1061
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: I won't even tell you the three guys are. But

1062
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 1: there's three guys. I think they have more pressure on

1063
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 1: them than everybody else in the AFC. I think you

1064
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 1: could argue a fourth, but I'm gonna stick with three.

1065
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 1: So we'll do that when we come back. As we

1066
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 1: shift gears and talk more and more about the NFL.

1067
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 1: Still a lot of college football to go on this program,

1068
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: We have an embarrassment of football riches. Stick with us

1084
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 7: totally out of context.

1085
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,280

Speaker 1: You'll see this show posted right after we get off

1107
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 1: the air. So we've done a lot of college football

1108
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 1: so far. We're still going to do more. We haven't

1109
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 1: even gotten into the matchups themselves this weekend. We'll do

1110
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 1: that in the third hour of the show. But I

1111
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 1: did want to shift gears and talk about the NFL,

1112
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:27,959
Speaker 1: which is a little under a week away from getting

1113
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 1: going itself, and I said, I wanted to talk about

1114
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 1: the five biggest questions of the NFL season. I don't

1115
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 1: know how many we're going to get through, but this

1116
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 1: one leaped off the page to me, and I think

1117
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 1: that you could just say it's two guys, but I'm

1118
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 1: going to add a third guy to the list. Which quarterback,

1119
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 1: Which AFC quarterback specifically, is under the most pressure this

1120
01:00:55,200 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 1: year to do something when it counts. This, I think

1121
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:04,479
Speaker 1: was this week the most overrated players in the league

1122
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 1: came out and Josh Allen won the award from his peers,

1123
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 1: and I think that's a kind of ridiculous, but I

1124
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:15,840
Speaker 1: also sort of understand why that would have happened. Well,

1125
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has a ton of pressure on him because

1126
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen still has not reached to Super Bowl. I

1127
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:25,360
Speaker 1: think that his easy fall guy has continually been Sean

1128
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 1: McDermott and should be And I'm not really sure that

1129
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott should be there this year, because this may

1130
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: be a wasted year if it doesn't go well, maybe

1131
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 1: he gets ousted pretty fast. And immediately saw an article

1132
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago about if McDermott or Sirianni

1133
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 1: and there was a third guy mentioned as well. If

1134
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 1: they get out to a slow start, here comes Bill Belichick, like, really,

1135
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 1: we're doing that already. Let's get the season going first.

1136
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 1: But Josh Allen Lamar Jackson got the big pay day

1137
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 1: of course stellar last year, and then they got to

1138
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 1: the postseason and they played Scared in the biggest game

1139
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:05,919
Speaker 1: of his career and lost. He hasn't snipped a Super

1140
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 1: Bowl yet despite being transcendent. And he was the other

1141
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 1: guy that was on I think the overrated list. And

1142
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 1: then the third guy that I just add to this

1143
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 1: is Tua because Tua talk about loa at this stage

1144
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 1: when you look at what Miami has and they just

1145
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 1: extended Mike McDonald through twenty twenty eight as head coach,

1146
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 1: and you get that, gone to the playoffs last couple

1147
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 1: of years. Best coach Miami's had in ages, and certainly

1148
01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 1: they've been more fun to watch in his tenure than

1149
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 1: they had been in I mean, I can't even tell

1150
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 1: you how long it's been since you could say that

1151
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 1: about them. But he's a great young coach. They have

1152
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 1: a lot to prove as a team when it matters

1153
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:51,920
Speaker 1: because I don't trust them to win games when it

1154
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 1: counts either. But Tua, when you've got Tyreek and you

1155
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 1: have Jaywen Waddle and you have all of these guys,

1156
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:02,440
Speaker 1: it's going to come down to the quarterback. And honestly,

1157
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 1: when they needed it most in the back half of

1158
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 1: last season, it wasn't an injury, it was just inconsistency

1159
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 1: from Tuatogovailoa. So you look at those three guys, You've

1160
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:15,520
Speaker 1: got two in the same division in the AFC East,

1161
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 1: which is a three team race. No offense to the

1162
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 1: Patriots other than all the offense that comes with me

1163
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 1: telling you you're maybe the worst team in the NFL,

1164
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 1: But you've got Buffalo and Miami there and then the

1165
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 1: Jets will be heard from and then. But I don't

1166
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 1: think the pressure is really on Aaron Rodgers because I

1167
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 1: don't know what the expectations should be at his age,

1168
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 1: coming off the injury that took him out for an

1169
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 1: entire year, And it's the Jets, Like, if they do well,

1170
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:43,440
Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to be surprised. But I

1171
01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 1: also don't think it's just going to be the most

1172
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 1: damning thing ever if they don't do well. I don't

1173
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 1: think that. I don't think it's that kind of a

1174
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:54,520
Speaker 1: situation necessarily. But you look at Buffalo and Baltimore in Miami,

1175
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 1: those are three teams that have aspirations, that have been

1176
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 1: contenders more often than not in the last three seasons,

1177
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 1: some longer than that, and all of them have large

1178
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 1: questions because Lamar hasn't gotten it done in the playoffs.

1179
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:14,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen hasn't reached a Super Bowl. The most important

1180
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:16,960
Speaker 1: and biggest game of his career, the one that we

1181
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 1: remember the most is the game that they lost to

1182
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. And then there's tu who There

1183
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:28,280
Speaker 1: are moments, there are these flashes where he really just

1184
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:31,560
Speaker 1: looks dialed in, But then there are other moments where

1185
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: you can see the flaws, you can see the limitations,

1186
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:41,040
Speaker 1: and you can see the you can see the uphill

1187
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 1: climb that you have if that is your QB one

1188
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL in twenty twenty four. When you look

1189
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 1: at the rest of the quarterbacks, especially in the AFC,

1190
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 1: but across the league, there's some deficiencies there, and then

1191
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 1: of course you are you are always going to be

1192
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 1: worried about the injuries. This isn't a situation of money.

1193
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 1: For these three guys, it's a situation of longevity and trust.

1194
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:12,080
Speaker 1: And I hate this phraseology, but because I don't believe

1195
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 1: in a championship window, I think that you have to

1196
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 1: win now because you just can't trust. You can't bank

1197
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:22,240
Speaker 1: on things being exactly the same the year after. I mean,

1198
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 1: think about Florida State last year. Florida State last year,

1199
01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:31,120
Speaker 1: that was their opportunity, and then you come back this

1200
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 1: year and you're not the same team, you don't have

1201
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 1: the same talent. It's a little different in the NFL

1202
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:36,480
Speaker 1: because you can retain a lot more and you're not

1203
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 1: worried about graduation. You're just worried about free agency and

1204
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 1: trades and a draft and all that kind of thing.

1205
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 1: But you just can't bank on it looking the same

1206
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 1: this year as last, even if you have all of

1207
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 1: the same pieces, which no one does. But so if

1208
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 1: you're in win now mode, Buffalo loses Stefan Diggs and

1209
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 1: maybe that's going to be auditioned by subtract because it

1210
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 1: had soured there. But what are you doing to replace it?

1211
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:07,280
Speaker 1: You've got young guys, are they going to be able

1212
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 1: to step into that void? Where's Josh Allen going to

1213
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:13,400
Speaker 1: play hero Paul too often to make something happen because

1214
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 1: he feels like he has to and has a lot

1215
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 1: of pressure on him in a moment, and he makes

1216
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:20,000
Speaker 1: mistakes because he does do that. He has those moments

1217
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 1: where it looks like his brain leaves his body and

1218
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 1: he goes and tries to be Superman and he comes

1219
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:28,439
Speaker 1: up about half a degree short of where he needs

1220
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 1: to be. He's gonna have to play within himself and

1221
01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 1: play smart and maybe live to fight another down a

1222
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 1: few more times than he's used to. Is he capable

1223
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 1: of that? We'll find out. Lamar I think that the

1224
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:46,800
Speaker 1: one thing that you have to hope for if you're

1225
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 1: a Ravens fan is just you're not going to abandon

1226
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 1: what got you there once you get there. Because if

1227
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 1: you get to the spot where Baltimore went out of

1228
01:06:56,760 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs a year ago, they stop doing fairly early

1229
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:06,160
Speaker 1: in that game what had made them so good all year,

1230
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:10,160
Speaker 1: and you can't do that. Whatever got you there is

1231
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 1: what you've got to keep doing. It's similar, not perfect,

1232
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 1: but similar to I'm gonna go draft this super mobile,

1233
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:22,919
Speaker 1: super athletic quarterback into my organization, and then I'm gonna

1234
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:25,040
Speaker 1: get him there, and I'm gonna teach him to be

1235
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 1: a pocket passer because I don't want him to run anymore.

1236
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:29,320
Speaker 1: Don't draft me, is what I would say to that.

1237
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:32,720
Speaker 1: Don't draft that guy if you don't want to do

1238
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:35,280
Speaker 1: what it was that put him on the map in

1239
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 1: the first place, then what are you even thinking. If

1240
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:41,240
Speaker 1: you draft a running quarterback, for example, an athlete and

1241
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 1: then you want to knock seventy percent of that athleticism away,

1242
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 1: then you have wasted a draft pick. You're not going

1243
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 1: to let him flourish because he's not doing the thing

1244
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 1: that made him special in the first place. What made

1245
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:56,240
Speaker 1: Baltimore special is what they needed to continue to do,

1246
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 1: even if it started out a little wonky in that

1247
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 1: in that playoff game and they didn't do it, they

1248
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:06,160
Speaker 1: went away from it, started doing weird things and got beat.

1249
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 1: And some of that's on Lamar for not standing up

1250
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:11,760
Speaker 1: and just saying, hey, we're gonna keep doing what brought

1251
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 1: us to the dance here. And Lamar's just kind of

1252
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:18,479
Speaker 1: been a little weird in the postseason. He has they've

1253
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 1: schemed him up pretty well the teams that he has

1254
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:24,040
Speaker 1: faced there. There have been some moments where he has

1255
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 1: looked less than Lamar. So I think you can look

1256
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 1: at all three of those guys and make the argument

1257
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 1: who does have the most pressure of the three of

1258
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 1: those guys. I'm actually going to think about that as

1259
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:41,240
Speaker 1: opposed to just giving you an answer, and I'm going

1260
01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 1: to think about it as I also listened to what

1261
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 1: happened in the world of sports last night. Let's go

1262
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:47,760
Speaker 1: out to LA and talk to Kevin Wire.

1263
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:50,840
Speaker 4: Kevin, Yeah, we had a few college football games going

1264
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:53,920
Speaker 4: on as we have now already reached Week one of

1265
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:56,320
Speaker 4: the college football season is back baby, and we had

1266
01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:58,920
Speaker 4: a good game going on late out in hollow out

1267
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 4: so as to see you when Stanford faced off Stanford

1268
01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 4: playing their first game. It's a non conference game, but

1269
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:08,400
Speaker 4: still their first game is a member of the ACC.

1270
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 4: It feels weird saying that Stanford and the ACC. But

1271
01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:14,479
Speaker 4: they played TCU and this was a close game. With

1272
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:17,400
Speaker 4: about two minutes ago it was tc only up by three,

1273
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:21,240
Speaker 4: twenty seven to twenty four. The horn Frogs really shooting

1274
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 4: themselves in the foot, committing several penalties, seven for one

1275
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:27,759
Speaker 4: hundred yards for the game, Stanford four penalties for nineteen yards.

1276
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 4: The Cardinal also winning the turnover battle two to one,

1277
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 4: as TCU losing a couple of fumbles, so they let

1278
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:36,320
Speaker 4: Stanford hang around, but late they are able to pull

1279
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 4: away and eventually win it by a final score of

1280
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:45,560
Speaker 4: thirty four to twenty seven. Elsewhere in college football, Wisconsin

1281
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:47,800
Speaker 4: getting the win at home against Western Michigan twenty eight

1282
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:51,040
Speaker 4: fourteen Oklahoma an easy blot win against Temple fifty one

1283
01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 4: to three Michigan Stana was a bit of a close one,

1284
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 4: but they do beat Florida Atlantic sixteen to ten. Duke

1285
01:09:57,160 --> 01:10:00,320
Speaker 4: and Army both wins against FCS teams, neither t Tema

1286
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 4: with a problem there. In tennis, though, chaos at the

1287
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 4: US Open, Novak Djokovic losing to the twenty eight seed

1288
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:10,920
Speaker 4: Alexi Poppy Rin in four sets. So Carlos Alkrez losing

1289
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 4: yesterday and that makes the tournament on the men's side

1290
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:17,600
Speaker 4: wide open. But Coco Goff on the women's side of

1291
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:19,880
Speaker 4: things did advance in a three sets you beat the

1292
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:24,160
Speaker 4: twenty seven seed Alina Zvitolina three six six ' three

1293
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 4: six three. Major League Baseball, some scores from late night

1294
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 4: on the West Coast. Dodgers hold off the Snakes, The

1295
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 4: Diamondbacks ten to nine out in the Desert show Ootani

1296
01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:37,880
Speaker 4: home run and a stolen base. He is now up

1297
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 4: to forty three forty three on the season, the first

1298
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:43,680
Speaker 4: player in history to do it. Alex Rodriguez held the

1299
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:46,639
Speaker 4: previous one at forty two to forty two. So show

1300
01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 4: Hey continuing to make history, and with about a month

1301
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 4: ago in the regular season, he's has a fifty to

1302
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:54,720
Speaker 4: fifty season inside, so that'll be fun to watch as

1303
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:58,559
Speaker 4: he tries to continue to chase history for the Dodgers

1304
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 4: Giants with a win again some Marlins in San Francisco

1305
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:03,559
Speaker 4: three to one. Mariners top the Angels nine to five

1306
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 4: at the Big A. Orioles over the Rockies five to three.

1307
01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:11,880
Speaker 4: In the WNBA, Caitlin Clark another fantastic game for the

1308
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:15,720
Speaker 4: Indiana Fever thirty one points, twelve assist as they beat

1309
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:18,439
Speaker 4: the Chicago Sky one hundred and eighty one. Indiana now

1310
01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:22,040
Speaker 4: sixteen and sixteen. They finished dead last in the Eastern

1311
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:24,760
Speaker 4: Conference last year, got the number one overall pick and

1312
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 4: Caitlin Clark She's transformed the league and she has certainly

1313
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:30,519
Speaker 4: transformed this Indiana Fever franchise. There now the number six

1314
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:33,720
Speaker 4: seed in the WNBA playoffs if the season were to

1315
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 4: end today. Just an incredible turnaround. Angel Reese though she's

1316
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:40,360
Speaker 4: had a great campaign as well, and we don't want

1317
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:41,640
Speaker 4: to lose sight of her. In the loss, she did

1318
01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:45,960
Speaker 4: have herself another double double ten points and eleven rebounds.

1319
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:48,680
Speaker 4: Brianna Stewart another superstar of the league. She powers the

1320
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 4: Liberty Pass the Storm ninety eight eighty five, she had

1321
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:51,960
Speaker 4: thirty six points.

1322
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 1: Back to you, Thank you, Kevin. We are indetirack dot

1323
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 1: com Studios. It's pretty amazing. I don't know that you're

1324
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 1: ever gonna see a league again where two rookies are

1325
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 1: the biggest stars in the league, like what Kevin just

1326
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:12,040
Speaker 1: said about Breonna Stewart having thirty six And we know

1327
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:13,920
Speaker 1: there's a lot of talented women in that league, but

1328
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:17,760
Speaker 1: the two most marketable names by far are Caitlin Clark

1329
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 1: and Angel rees Like it's not even close. That is

1330
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:24,840
Speaker 1: you really think about it, I mean that I can't

1331
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:30,240
Speaker 1: imagine that ever happening before or again. Maybe which you

1332
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:32,679
Speaker 1: think maybe Magic and Bird when they entered the league,

1333
01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:38,320
Speaker 1: maybe something like that, But this this is to a

1334
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:43,240
Speaker 1: completely different degree, Like not guys that are never gonna

1335
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 1: watch WNBA games start to finish, and I pretty much

1336
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:51,519
Speaker 1: am one of them. I usually will find out what

1337
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:54,920
Speaker 1: those two ladies did, and it used to just be one.

1338
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:58,920
Speaker 1: And credit to Angel Reeves for making herself. I do

1339
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:01,120
Speaker 1: think she drafted off Caitlin Clark for a while and

1340
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:03,519
Speaker 1: then she's started racking up double doubles and that just

1341
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:08,519
Speaker 1: became interesting in and of itself, and so yeah, you'll

1342
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:11,120
Speaker 1: check that from time to time as well. But that's

1343
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:14,000
Speaker 1: definitely I think it's definitely an intriguing place to be.

1344
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna do one more question for you

1345
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:18,519
Speaker 1: real fast. Well, I didn't answer my question to answer

1346
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:22,120
Speaker 1: the question of the three AFC quarterbacks that list to

1347
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:24,719
Speaker 1: who's under the most pressure Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Toua.

1348
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:27,040
Speaker 1: I think two was probably third, Like I had to

1349
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:28,439
Speaker 1: add him to the list, So I don't think he

1350
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 1: can be number one, but I think he's fair to

1351
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,200
Speaker 1: be on this list just because of the talent there.

1352
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:37,519
Speaker 1: Like eventually he can't be the thing that holds them

1353
01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:41,800
Speaker 1: back and it's gonna take more consistency the other two guys.

1354
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:43,040
Speaker 1: It's what are you going to do for me in

1355
01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:45,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs? Josh Allen losing Stefan Diggs. I think it's

1356
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:48,000
Speaker 1: a big year for him because more is on his

1357
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:53,400
Speaker 1: shoulders and this Buffalo experiment has gotten near the top

1358
01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:56,200
Speaker 1: of the mountain for three four years in a row.

1359
01:13:57,439 --> 01:14:00,160
Speaker 1: Eventually that's got a turn or you're just not going

1360
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:01,720
Speaker 1: to quite get there. You're just gonna be a really

1361
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:05,920
Speaker 1: good team that never quite became great. And then you

1362
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:08,960
Speaker 1: might have the same thing with Baltimore. I'll tell you,

1363
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:11,439
Speaker 1: I think the most pressure is on I think it's

1364
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:13,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen And the reason why I would take him

1365
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:17,559
Speaker 1: over Lamar Jackson is because Lamar Jackson has John Harball,

1366
01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:21,000
Speaker 1: and Harball has a ton of respect as being an

1367
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 1: iconically good, just a great head coach. He does some

1368
01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:29,519
Speaker 1: things that just annoy me to no end. But John

1369
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:32,200
Speaker 1: Harball is a great coach and they're always well coached.

1370
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:35,760
Speaker 1: And it's not that McDermott's not good. It is, though,

1371
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:39,720
Speaker 1: that I think we might have found the ceiling for him.

1372
01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:43,479
Speaker 1: He's not an offensive minded guy. And when they lose

1373
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:45,920
Speaker 1: Brian Dable, they don't look quite as good. When Ken

1374
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:49,320
Speaker 1: Dorsey takes over that job as OC, and now you

1375
01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:51,920
Speaker 1: lose some skill talent, and so you're bringing in I mean,

1376
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:54,639
Speaker 1: they only have one guy, that one receiver last year

1377
01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:57,160
Speaker 1: of any vote, that's still there. Everybody else is gone.

1378
01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:00,679
Speaker 1: So it's a completely new cast of characters. But Josh

1379
01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:03,080
Speaker 1: Allen's still there, and no one's going to give him

1380
01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:06,720
Speaker 1: a mull again or give him grace because of the

1381
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:10,080
Speaker 1: changes at wide receiver. What they're going to say, folks,

1382
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:12,759
Speaker 1: if he's bad is oh, he was just a product

1383
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:16,479
Speaker 1: of Stefan Diggs, because remember his first two years in

1384
01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:19,679
Speaker 1: the league. First year, he was an accident waiting to happen.

1385
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 1: Second but I mean, it was fun to watch, but

1386
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:26,000
Speaker 1: it was a calamity a lot of the time. Second year,

1387
01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:29,720
Speaker 1: you started to see more flashes of what you saw

1388
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:32,360
Speaker 1: in him at Wyoming and why you wanted to draft him,

1389
01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:34,639
Speaker 1: and just you loved everything about the way he played

1390
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:36,559
Speaker 1: and how he talked and how he competed. I mean,

1391
01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 1: I love Josh Allen, I do. I know this sounds negative,

1392
01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:42,680
Speaker 1: but it's really not. But then you get to they

1393
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:44,720
Speaker 1: bring in, they pay Steffan Diggs and bring him in,

1394
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:48,439
Speaker 1: and then they hit the stratosphere. So now Stefan Diggs

1395
01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:51,720
Speaker 1: is gone, So you have to look there and say,

1396
01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:55,280
Speaker 1: what's the change if they take a massive step back.

1397
01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:58,400
Speaker 1: For example, they lose two three more games than you're

1398
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:02,080
Speaker 1: used to the Bills losing. That's gonna fall on his shoulders.

1399
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:05,559
Speaker 1: I don't think you have that story anywhere else because

1400
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:08,799
Speaker 1: they've still got talent everywhere on those other two rosters,

1401
01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:12,360
Speaker 1: similar talent to what they have had. So there's gonna

1402
01:16:12,360 --> 01:16:14,920
Speaker 1: be blame to spread around here. It's gonna be well,

1403
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen wasn't able to raise up their level of play,

1404
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:21,760
Speaker 1: So I think that's why it's that That's why that's

1405
01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:24,960
Speaker 1: the answer. I think it is Josh Allen by over

1406
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:27,400
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, maybe not by a lot, but by a little,

1407
01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 1: and then certainly over Tua. I think that Josh Allen

1408
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:32,720
Speaker 1: is entering the season with the most pressure of any

1409
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:37,760
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league, but certainly in the AFC. We'll

1410
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:41,479
Speaker 1: come back. We'll do another one of my big NFL questions,

1411
01:16:41,560 --> 01:16:44,760
Speaker 1: this one about another AFC quarterback and whether or not

1412
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:47,840
Speaker 1: he's even good. I'll tell you who he is and

1413
01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:49,600
Speaker 1: we'll debate it when we come back. It is a

1414
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:51,679
Speaker 1: Bernie Frado show. I'm Jason Martin In for the great

1423

Speaker 1: in the background. I'm Jason Martin for Bernie Friday. He's

1424
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:24,000
Speaker 1: out this weekend. You can hear me with Aaron Torres

1425
01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:25,880
Speaker 1: on Saturday nights right here on most of these same

1426
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:28,479
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio stations. And this is our favorite time

1427
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:31,200
Speaker 1: of year because Tores and me we're college football nuts

1428
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:35,519
Speaker 1: and we pretty much get the chance to react live

1429
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:40,200
Speaker 1: to everything that's happening and happened to end your college

1430
01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:44,080
Speaker 1: football Saturday every week throughout the fall. Cannot wait to

1431
01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:46,800
Speaker 1: get going this evening. And we're gonna have a lot

1432
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 1: of matchups. We're gonna talk about a good many of

1433
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 1: them in the third hour of the show. But I teased,

1434
01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:54,840
Speaker 1: is this guy good? Another one of my questions entering

1435
01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:59,320
Speaker 1: the NFL season. All Right, so in twenty seventeen, here's

1436
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:03,040
Speaker 1: a guy that had a one to oh three passer

1437
01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:08,080
Speaker 1: rating twenty eighteen, he had a one to oh three

1438
01:18:08,160 --> 01:18:11,120
Speaker 1: passer rating, twenty nineteen he had a ninety eight passer rating,

1439
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:12,720
Speaker 1: and then in twenty twenty he had a one to

1440
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:19,080
Speaker 1: twelve point four passer rating. He had thirty three touchdowns

1441
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:25,200
Speaker 1: and seven interceptions that season. But then in the last

1442
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 1: two years of his career, he's had seven touchdowns and

1443
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:34,920
Speaker 1: five interceptions and seven touchdowns and four interceptions in a

1444
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:42,559
Speaker 1: combined twelve starts. And his passer rating has gone from

1445
01:18:43,600 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 1: the lowest in his first four years in the league

1446
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:52,080
Speaker 1: being ninety eight, he's now gone to a seventy nine

1447
01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:56,280
Speaker 1: and an eighty four. And I want to know if

1448
01:18:56,320 --> 01:18:58,840
Speaker 1: he's still good, because I think the team is really good,

1449
01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:02,760
Speaker 1: but I don't know that the quarterback is. And I'm

1450
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:08,280
Speaker 1: talking about Deshaun Watson. Deshaun Watson is still not even

1451
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:11,640
Speaker 1: thirty years old. You feel like he's been in the

1452
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:13,720
Speaker 1: league longer than he has, but he's only played six

1453
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:16,280
Speaker 1: seasons now. Of course, he took some time off. We

1454
01:19:16,439 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 1: know this between the twenty twenty and twenty twenty two

1455
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 1: seasons when he went from Houston to Cleveland. But last

1456
01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:25,160
Speaker 1: year he wasn't even the best option for them, Joe

1457
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:28,720
Speaker 1: Flacco outplayed him pretty significantly. As a matter of fact,

1458
01:19:29,560 --> 01:19:34,639
Speaker 1: he's eight and four starting in Cleveland, had a fifty

1459
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:38,360
Speaker 1: eight percent completion percentage in twenty two, had a sixty

1460
01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:41,120
Speaker 1: one percent completion percentage in twenty three. This is the

1461
01:19:41,160 --> 01:19:45,000
Speaker 1: guy that his final three years in Houston. Of his

1462
01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:47,680
Speaker 1: first four, he started out as sixty two percent, so

1463
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 1: still fairly low on his stats. But then he went

1464
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:55,160
Speaker 1: sixty eight, sixty seven, seventy, and then he came back

1465
01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:59,400
Speaker 1: and he was fifty eight and sixty one. If you

1466
01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:01,280
Speaker 1: don't have a quarter you can't win in this league.

1467
01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:04,920
Speaker 1: And I don't know if they've got a quarterback. I

1468
01:20:04,960 --> 01:20:06,479
Speaker 1: don't even know if he's starting by the end of

1469
01:20:06,520 --> 01:20:09,479
Speaker 1: the year. You know, they they reset his deal and

1470
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:11,320
Speaker 1: kind of fixed it so he can get him. They actually,

1471
01:20:11,479 --> 01:20:14,120
Speaker 1: if you can believe this, even with a fully guaranteed

1472
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:18,360
Speaker 1: contract to their quarterback, they now have the most available

1473
01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:21,320
Speaker 1: cap space in the NFL. Do the Browns because the

1474
01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:24,240
Speaker 1: way that they restructured his deal. Don't tell me that

1475
01:20:24,360 --> 01:20:27,320
Speaker 1: the money is real in the NFL. You just can't.

1476
01:20:27,439 --> 01:20:29,599
Speaker 1: Not when you can make that work. But if he's

1477
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:32,960
Speaker 1: not good, then they're their ceiling is pretty low now.

1478
01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:35,960
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb is starting the season out on the pup list,

1479
01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 1: and he's as good a back as you'll find in

1480
01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:41,479
Speaker 1: a league when he's healthy. But they got talent everywhere.

1481
01:20:41,560 --> 01:20:46,600
Speaker 1: I like Stefanski a lot. The defense is phenomenal, but

1482
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:49,040
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson might just not be good anymore. Like at

1483
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:51,200
Speaker 1: some point it's not just rust. At some point it

1484
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:52,720
Speaker 1: was well. I mean, he was away for the game

1485
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:55,559
Speaker 1: from two years for two years. Maybe it passed him by.

1486
01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:59,280
Speaker 1: I've heard the argument that Brian knows hosting with him.

1487
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:01,080
Speaker 1: On Monday, we were in for the guys in the

1488
01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:07,000
Speaker 1: morning and Brian and Brian even you know, speculated that

1489
01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, there's something that saying he doesn't love it enough.

1490
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:10,840
Speaker 1: Like I don't know if that's true, but I can

1491
01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:12,880
Speaker 1: tell you that life has taken a toll on him

1492
01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:15,599
Speaker 1: and maybe it has affected his play. I still think

1493
01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:17,240
Speaker 1: he wants to be good. I don't think he's out

1494
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:19,800
Speaker 1: there to stink, but he's gotten a lot closer to

1495
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 1: stinking that anybody thought was possible for him. Boy, it

1496
01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:25,800
Speaker 1: is taking a real downturn for Deshaun Watson. So that's

1497
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:28,720
Speaker 1: a big question for me. The Browns are contenders. If

1498
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 1: he's good, but I don't know if he's good. We'll

1499
01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:33,800
Speaker 1: come back to open the third hour. How about we

1500
01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:38,360
Speaker 1: talk about Colorado. They escape North Dakota State. We're coming

1523
01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:49,960
Speaker 1: talk about Colorado. The Colorado won the game thirty one

1524
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:51,720
Speaker 1: to twenty six over in North Kota State. It was

1525
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:54,680
Speaker 1: a fun one, it was and you could tell in

1526
01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:57,760
Speaker 1: the first half. Okay, well, North Dakota State, even though

1527
01:22:57,880 --> 01:23:00,840
Speaker 1: their head coach has moved on, still a team that

1528
01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:05,280
Speaker 1: has a culture of winning and is not gonna make

1529
01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:08,720
Speaker 1: a whole lot of mistakes. The quarterback didn't make many mistakes.

1530
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:14,280
Speaker 1: They're they're just they're sound. They don't have the level

1531
01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:18,880
Speaker 1: of talent that you're gonna see all day Saturday. For

1532
01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:21,000
Speaker 1: the most part, at least on half the field. There's

1533
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:23,519
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of cupcake games and things of

1534
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:26,240
Speaker 1: that nature. But you knew it was gonna be a fight,

1535
01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:28,320
Speaker 1: and Dion knew it was gonna be a fight, And

1536
01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:31,320
Speaker 1: he even said to his ad made that joke about,

1537
01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, could you give us something a little easier

1538
01:23:34,040 --> 01:23:36,000
Speaker 1: than North Dakota State. Even if it's not one of

1539
01:23:36,080 --> 01:23:39,240
Speaker 1: those North Dakota State teams where you have a quarterback

1540
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 1: that is gonna be playing in the NFL year one

1541
01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:45,040
Speaker 1: and things of that. They were still gonna be good,

1542
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:48,320
Speaker 1: and they were, But I think the story is more

1543
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:53,720
Speaker 1: about Colorado because no one has more eyeballs on them

1544
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:57,000
Speaker 1: this year, both to see him either succeed or to

1545
01:23:57,120 --> 01:24:00,680
Speaker 1: fail miserably than Colorado. Because there are those that are

1546
01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:03,600
Speaker 1: certainly in both camps. I think the latter campus is

1547
01:24:03,680 --> 01:24:08,960
Speaker 1: stronger at this stage. Dion brings a polarizing presence with him,

1548
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:13,439
Speaker 1: and he's done nothing but made himself more polarizing by

1549
01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:15,560
Speaker 1: some of the things that he said and just the

1550
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:17,800
Speaker 1: stuff with the media over the last few weeks and

1551
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:22,120
Speaker 1: the way he's handled the transfer deal. It seems like

1552
01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:24,760
Speaker 1: maybe even within college football, I think a lot of

1553
01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:30,200
Speaker 1: those athletic directors and coaches, I think they've bristled at

1554
01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:33,840
Speaker 1: some of the way that Colorado has done business, and

1555
01:24:34,280 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 1: some have probably gone too far in how they've criticized Eon.

1556
01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:40,400
Speaker 1: But we knew they didn't have the talent last year.

1557
01:24:40,439 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 1: They had to do her and they had Travis Hunter,

1558
01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:47,080
Speaker 1: and then that was kind of it. And they go

1559
01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:49,439
Speaker 1: out and they have gotten a ton of guys out

1560
01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:51,759
Speaker 1: of the border. I think they've gotten over ninety dudes

1561
01:24:52,200 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 1: since he's been there, and they have ten guys on

1562
01:24:56,320 --> 01:25:01,519
Speaker 1: their offensive and defensive line that are from elsewhere, bigger

1563
01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:04,280
Speaker 1: name guys after they jettisoned their own guys. Now, Shador

1564
01:25:04,560 --> 01:25:06,680
Speaker 1: was tied for the first or tied for first in

1565
01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:09,080
Speaker 1: a league last year. I think in a number of

1566
01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:11,639
Speaker 1: sacks that he took, I think he took fifty six

1567
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:13,760
Speaker 1: in the season or something crazy like that. Well, he

1568
01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:16,400
Speaker 1: only got sacked once on Thursday night against North Dakota State,

1569
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:19,040
Speaker 1: so that's a good thing. Although I didn't feel like

1570
01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:21,559
Speaker 1: in the trenches if you watched the game, I didn't

1571
01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:24,559
Speaker 1: feel like the offensive line or the defensive line performed

1572
01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:26,840
Speaker 1: to a degree that would make you feel good about

1573
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:29,559
Speaker 1: Colorado going forward. And I think that's the storyline here.

1574
01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:31,800
Speaker 1: It's not about beating North Dakota State, although that was

1575
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:34,960
Speaker 1: the challenge in front of them in the moment. It

1576
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:37,479
Speaker 1: is what is this team going to be at the

1577
01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:41,919
Speaker 1: end of the year. I saw one of ESPN's analysts,

1578
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:44,200
Speaker 1: I think suggest, you know, we're not even gonna be

1579
01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:47,400
Speaker 1: talking about him by December, and you know there's the

1580
01:25:47,439 --> 01:25:51,360
Speaker 1: Heisman buzz surrounding Hunter, but also around Sanders. I mean,

1581
01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:55,240
Speaker 1: Hunter is unreal over one hundred snaps, but he had

1582
01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:57,799
Speaker 1: three touchdowns in the game. One He's got guys draped

1583
01:25:57,880 --> 01:26:00,840
Speaker 1: all over him, he still makes the touchdown grab, he

1584
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:04,280
Speaker 1: runs away from guys on the field. He's got speed,

1585
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:09,400
Speaker 1: he's got athleticism, he's got everything and then should do

1586
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:13,840
Speaker 1: or we know what he is capable of. But I

1587
01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:15,519
Speaker 1: don't think you can win the Heisman if your team

1588
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:18,160
Speaker 1: is completely irrelevant by December. And is this team going

1589
01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:20,160
Speaker 1: to be irrelevant by December, I don't know. I mean,

1590
01:26:20,439 --> 01:26:22,880
Speaker 1: all you need to do in Week one is win,

1591
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:26,280
Speaker 1: and you did, but you almost lost. You found a

1592
01:26:26,320 --> 01:26:28,920
Speaker 1: way to almost lose. You almost had the boneheaded play

1593
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:31,080
Speaker 1: at the end of the game as well, Like it

1594
01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:35,519
Speaker 1: didn't feel good. If you're watching that game from a

1595
01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:41,000
Speaker 1: Colorado perspective, that didn't feel good. That felt like, man,

1596
01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:43,920
Speaker 1: we almost found a way to really screw that one.

1597
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:48,240
Speaker 1: That's how it felt like watching that. I didn't necessarily

1598
01:26:48,320 --> 01:26:50,680
Speaker 1: have a dog in the fight, And I'm glad that

1599
01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:53,840
Speaker 1: we got something compelling on Night one to watch. The

1600
01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:57,439
Speaker 1: only other compelling game was the close but not really

1601
01:26:57,520 --> 01:27:02,040
Speaker 1: exciting game between North Carolina in Minnesota and you got

1602
01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:05,080
Speaker 1: the NC State game as well, I guess, but North

1603
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:08,280
Speaker 1: Carolina and Minnesota, and unfortunately you saw Max Johnson break

1604
01:27:08,360 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 1: his leg in that game in the third quarter and

1605
01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:12,839
Speaker 1: the end of season before it barely even started.

1606
01:27:13,040 --> 01:27:13,360
Speaker 10: U and C.

1607
01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:17,240
Speaker 1: But from the Colorado perspective, that one didn't feel good

1608
01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:21,040
Speaker 1: like that. It's a w. But is it really like?

1609
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:23,840
Speaker 1: I mean, they did win and and that's just not

1610
01:27:24,120 --> 01:27:26,640
Speaker 1: that's not just me saying that. I think we have

1611
01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:31,000
Speaker 1: this audio, so if we do, here's what Dion. Here's

1612
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:33,880
Speaker 1: what coach Prime had to say after the game, because

1613
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:36,639
Speaker 1: I think it pretty much reflects exactly what I just said.

1614
01:27:36,680 --> 01:27:37,479
Speaker 1: Let's hear from Dion.

1615
01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:41,680
Speaker 10: I mean, you got to understand you got to take

1616
01:27:41,720 --> 01:27:42,400
Speaker 10: what people give you.

1617
01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:44,679
Speaker 1: You can't take what you want. And it's not there.

1618
01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:47,040
Speaker 1: I mean, what is it? What do you throw for

1619
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:52,360
Speaker 1: four yards? You think we upset? Who upset?

1620
01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:52,800
Speaker 2: So?

1621
01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:54,120
Speaker 1: They ever run a game?

1622
01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:54,400
Speaker 6: Well?

1623
01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:56,439
Speaker 1: The passing game w look pretty darn good today.

1624
01:27:56,760 --> 01:27:59,800
Speaker 10: So let's let's let's be appreciative and thankful that that

1625
01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:02,839
Speaker 10: we got one of the premier guys in college football

1626
01:28:02,960 --> 01:28:05,519
Speaker 10: spending it. We're gonna run the ball, We're gonna do that.

1627
01:28:05,560 --> 01:28:07,400
Speaker 10: We're gonna have a lot more battles. Today was just

1628
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:08,880
Speaker 10: that type of day. You got to take them to

1629
01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:09,160
Speaker 10: give you.

1630
01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:11,240
Speaker 1: But in that situation, I toun us up. If you

1631
01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:12,360
Speaker 1: want to run the clock down.

1632
01:28:12,240 --> 01:28:13,360
Speaker 3: I mean you won't.

1633
01:28:13,720 --> 01:28:14,479
Speaker 1: No, no, you won't.

1634
01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:17,320
Speaker 10: First downs right if you want to run a clock down.

1635
01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:18,400
Speaker 1: They got a five man box.

1636
01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:21,519
Speaker 6: I mean they got five five down. Like you got

1637
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:23,559
Speaker 6: to look at there and say, okay, I.

1638
01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:24,559
Speaker 1: Got one on one right here.

1639
01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:26,560
Speaker 6: I haven't seen one on one the whole game. So

1640
01:28:26,680 --> 01:28:27,640
Speaker 6: I gotta do what I gotta do.

1641
01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:31,400
Speaker 1: The move these change and that's what that is. So

1642
01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:34,880
Speaker 1: that's Dean talking about the sun kind of you know,

1643
01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:37,719
Speaker 1: going for broke on a play late when you probably

1644
01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:39,200
Speaker 1: run the ball. And he was saying, we're going to

1645
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:42,000
Speaker 1: run the ball. And that was against the criticism that

1646
01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:44,759
Speaker 1: I laid out here a minute ago about their offensive line,

1647
01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:48,439
Speaker 1: like their packs that couldn't get anything done. I didn't

1648
01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:51,360
Speaker 1: see them dominating in the trenches on either side of

1649
01:28:51,400 --> 01:28:54,759
Speaker 1: the ball. Quite frankly, they weren't able to rush the passer.

1650
01:28:55,200 --> 01:28:59,120
Speaker 1: And although they protected Shador Sanders to where he only

1651
01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:01,400
Speaker 1: got sacked once, he was getting chased around and facing

1652
01:29:01,439 --> 01:29:03,360
Speaker 1: pressure a lot during the game. It may have been

1653
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:05,000
Speaker 1: a little better, but it's gonna have to be a

1654
01:29:05,080 --> 01:29:10,600
Speaker 1: lot better for them against you know, even better opposition

1655
01:29:11,479 --> 01:29:14,280
Speaker 1: going forward. And we knew what they had from you know,

1656
01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:18,160
Speaker 1: you've got Joe Hornson and you've got Hunter of course

1657
01:29:18,240 --> 01:29:19,720
Speaker 1: to receive the ball. So I mean, you've got a

1658
01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:21,519
Speaker 1: lot of talent on that side. But one thing that

1659
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:23,559
Speaker 1: Dion said in the press conference was that's a win

1660
01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:25,800
Speaker 1: that felt like a loss. Like I know what he

1661
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:30,040
Speaker 1: said right there, kind of defending what was happening and

1662
01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:32,240
Speaker 1: saying we aren't upset. He had four hundred some yards

1663
01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:34,160
Speaker 1: and all this. Of course it's his son that had

1664
01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:37,920
Speaker 1: four hundred some yards, and that's just that that gets

1665
01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:41,639
Speaker 1: I think that that puts a lot of people off.

1666
01:29:41,680 --> 01:29:44,400
Speaker 1: I think if Shador Sanders was playing at Colorado but

1667
01:29:44,520 --> 01:29:47,759
Speaker 1: Dion wasn't the coach, there'd be a lot different feeling

1668
01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:50,240
Speaker 1: about it. But there's something about it. I think it's

1669
01:29:50,360 --> 01:29:52,920
Speaker 1: easy to rub someone the wrong way. And look, I'd

1670
01:29:52,960 --> 01:29:54,720
Speaker 1: be proud of my kid too, especially if he was

1671
01:29:54,760 --> 01:29:58,000
Speaker 1: that good, and I'd probably be setting up a lot

1672
01:29:58,040 --> 01:30:00,160
Speaker 1: of ways for him to be good, not to make

1673
01:30:00,240 --> 01:30:04,439
Speaker 1: him stand out, but because he is a standout but

1674
01:30:04,560 --> 01:30:06,679
Speaker 1: it's just an awkward deal. Like I saw the story.

1675
01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:08,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys have seen the story,

1676
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:14,040
Speaker 1: But what is Bronni supposed to call lebron if they're

1677
01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:17,640
Speaker 1: on the floor together and lebron has said that he

1678
01:30:17,720 --> 01:30:23,240
Speaker 1: can't call him dad? And I'm just like that, that's

1679
01:30:23,280 --> 01:30:25,680
Speaker 1: the kind of thing, like does that story? It's not

1680
01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:29,519
Speaker 1: about that story needing to be written, it's should that

1681
01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:34,120
Speaker 1: story exist? Like it's just a weird dichotomy. Anytime a

1682
01:30:34,200 --> 01:30:37,880
Speaker 1: coach coaches his son in college. I remember it happened

1683
01:30:37,920 --> 01:30:42,200
Speaker 1: at Colorado in the past as well, so this is

1684
01:30:42,280 --> 01:30:44,799
Speaker 1: not it's not new, but it is always kind of awkward.

1685
01:30:45,360 --> 01:30:47,599
Speaker 1: Now when you have a stud there, it's a little

1686
01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:50,800
Speaker 1: bit different. But I mean Bronni, Bronni's in there because

1687
01:30:50,840 --> 01:30:53,560
Speaker 1: of Dad, who I guess he's gonna call Braun on

1688
01:30:53,680 --> 01:30:57,000
Speaker 1: the floor, Like I don't know what exactly he's supposed

1689
01:30:57,040 --> 01:30:59,840
Speaker 1: to address him as. But do you remember Beheim had

1690
01:30:59,880 --> 01:31:03,439
Speaker 1: his and Beyon's some's good too, So I mean the

1691
01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:05,600
Speaker 1: examples where the guy is good, Yeah, I'm gonna go

1692
01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:07,640
Speaker 1: recruit my son if my son is that good, and

1693
01:31:07,720 --> 01:31:10,280
Speaker 1: s North Sanders is that good. So I understand it,

1694
01:31:10,439 --> 01:31:14,200
Speaker 1: but I do think that it creates I think it

1695
01:31:14,200 --> 01:31:15,600
Speaker 1: would be easy for a lot of fans, and I

1696
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:18,040
Speaker 1: imagine it is for them to kind of just not

1697
01:31:18,200 --> 01:31:20,680
Speaker 1: be down with all of that. And I know it

1698
01:31:20,680 --> 01:31:23,000
Speaker 1: would be easy if you were someone that plays on

1699
01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:26,400
Speaker 1: that team to feel like you're being passed over. So

1700
01:31:26,520 --> 01:31:29,000
Speaker 1: it creates I think it just it creates an extra obstacle.

1701
01:31:29,680 --> 01:31:33,000
Speaker 1: But Prims never really cared about obstacles. But I mean,

1702
01:31:33,200 --> 01:31:36,960
Speaker 1: if they lose this game, that's uh. I understand it's

1703
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:39,160
Speaker 1: North Akota State, but they're not getting any grace out

1704
01:31:39,200 --> 01:31:41,680
Speaker 1: of that, like that. They had to find a way

1705
01:31:41,720 --> 01:31:46,240
Speaker 1: to win that game, and they did. But even though

1706
01:31:46,240 --> 01:31:50,320
Speaker 1: they certainly have talent in some key spots, there's still

1707
01:31:50,320 --> 01:31:52,800
Speaker 1: a lot of flaws in there. And I think it's

1708
01:31:52,840 --> 01:31:55,760
Speaker 1: probably more likely again that they are indeed going to

1709
01:31:55,880 --> 01:32:01,719
Speaker 1: be not talked about in December in terms of anything relevant,

1710
01:32:01,720 --> 01:32:05,599
Speaker 1: which is gonna that. I understand, like LSU wasn't near

1711
01:32:05,640 --> 01:32:08,559
Speaker 1: a championship last year, but I just don't think you're

1712
01:32:08,600 --> 01:32:12,560
Speaker 1: gonna see Travis Hunter and shud Or Sanders in a heisman.

1713
01:32:13,760 --> 01:32:15,840
Speaker 1: I don't think they're being invited to New York if

1714
01:32:15,880 --> 01:32:18,120
Speaker 1: the team is four and eight, and I don't know

1715
01:32:18,200 --> 01:32:21,719
Speaker 1: that that's what they're gonna be. I know that Dion

1716
01:32:21,840 --> 01:32:23,720
Speaker 1: said after the game, you know, we just got you

1717
01:32:23,840 --> 01:32:26,280
Speaker 1: one step closer to that bowl game. So I'm glad

1718
01:32:26,320 --> 01:32:28,680
Speaker 1: that he's like he's even saying, look, we're trying to

1719
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:32,200
Speaker 1: win and get eligible for a bowl. So he's kind

1720
01:32:32,240 --> 01:32:35,640
Speaker 1: of I'm not saying that he's bringing expectations down, but

1721
01:32:35,760 --> 01:32:39,040
Speaker 1: he is at least not speaking so blussery as if

1722
01:32:39,080 --> 01:32:41,920
Speaker 1: to say things that are preposterous, like it's certainly not

1723
01:32:42,040 --> 01:32:45,000
Speaker 1: within the without the or past the realm of reason

1724
01:32:45,160 --> 01:32:48,280
Speaker 1: that Colorado can get to a bowl game. They absolutely can,

1725
01:32:49,680 --> 01:32:51,559
Speaker 1: and they're gonna do it, largely because of the guys

1726
01:32:51,600 --> 01:32:54,559
Speaker 1: that we've spent the brunt of this segment speaking about.

1727
01:32:55,880 --> 01:32:57,519
Speaker 1: But it is going to be a challenge for him.

1728
01:32:58,439 --> 01:33:00,639
Speaker 1: It might be an easier schedule than they last year,

1729
01:33:00,720 --> 01:33:03,080
Speaker 1: but they this was one of those that they couldn't

1730
01:33:03,160 --> 01:33:05,160
Speaker 1: let slip through, and lucky for them, they didn't. But

1731
01:33:05,640 --> 01:33:10,320
Speaker 1: that got closer than it needed to, and late in

1732
01:33:10,360 --> 01:33:15,000
Speaker 1: the second quarter, North Dakota State had the lead fourteen

1733
01:33:15,040 --> 01:33:18,439
Speaker 1: to thirteen in the game and looked like they were

1734
01:33:18,560 --> 01:33:23,040
Speaker 1: just playing more solid fundamentally sound football at that stage.

1735
01:33:23,560 --> 01:33:27,080
Speaker 1: But Tawan eventually did went out and Colorado won. But

1736
01:33:27,360 --> 01:33:28,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can come away from that

1737
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:32,000
Speaker 1: feeling particularly good past the fact that the only thing

1738
01:33:32,760 --> 01:33:35,240
Speaker 1: that I mean, you could have done any more than

1739
01:33:35,280 --> 01:33:36,800
Speaker 1: win the game, but you could have done it in

1740
01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:41,120
Speaker 1: a way that made you feel more confident about what

1741
01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:46,080
Speaker 1: Colorado was going to do, you know, after that point.

1742
01:33:46,720 --> 01:33:50,640
Speaker 1: And you know, that's just that that's a thing that

1743
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:55,400
Speaker 1: you're going to run into. I think that Hunter is

1744
01:33:56,360 --> 01:33:59,479
Speaker 1: Hunter and Sanders like there must see TV. That's the

1745
01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:02,000
Speaker 1: other thing. Yes, you have Dion, and that's going to

1746
01:34:02,080 --> 01:34:05,200
Speaker 1: make tuning into Colorado a little easier, whether you love

1747
01:34:05,280 --> 01:34:09,280
Speaker 1: him or hate him. But they do have some box

1748
01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:13,360
Speaker 1: office dudes on that team, and that is that's a

1749
01:34:13,560 --> 01:34:15,680
Speaker 1: that's a good problem to have. Let's just say that

1750
01:34:17,160 --> 01:34:24,120
Speaker 1: that is a that's a that's a crazy level of talent.

1751
01:34:24,200 --> 01:34:27,320
Speaker 1: Those two guys, like, I don't think you know, you're

1752
01:34:27,520 --> 01:34:31,760
Speaker 1: just the discussion about the two way side. I'm glad

1753
01:34:31,800 --> 01:34:33,360
Speaker 1: we're getting to see it, but I don't want to

1754
01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:36,599
Speaker 1: see it wreck his career or shorten it because he's

1755
01:34:36,680 --> 01:34:38,719
Speaker 1: just being asked to do too much. Like the college

1756
01:34:38,800 --> 01:34:43,000
Speaker 1: baseball pitchers, especially in years past, that would throw one

1757
01:34:43,080 --> 01:34:47,040
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty pitches and they'd be high draft picks,

1758
01:34:47,160 --> 01:34:49,040
Speaker 1: but then they'd be out of the league because their

1759
01:34:49,160 --> 01:34:52,680
Speaker 1: arm was shot before they ever even got there. Like,

1760
01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:54,679
Speaker 1: you don't want to see that. I want to see

1761
01:34:54,720 --> 01:34:58,320
Speaker 1: him be really good at one of those things, even

1762
01:34:58,479 --> 01:35:01,479
Speaker 1: if the skill set in BO makes him better at each,

1763
01:35:01,640 --> 01:35:06,280
Speaker 1: because it gives him a different a different observation standpoint,

1764
01:35:06,360 --> 01:35:09,960
Speaker 1: like a different experimentation, like because he knows how to

1765
01:35:10,040 --> 01:35:12,960
Speaker 1: receive at that level, he also understands how to defend

1766
01:35:13,960 --> 01:35:18,639
Speaker 1: because he knows what to do to overcome on both sides.

1767
01:35:18,720 --> 01:35:20,559
Speaker 1: I think there is something to that, but I don't

1768
01:35:20,560 --> 01:35:22,080
Speaker 1: know if you can do that long term. Now, if

1769
01:35:22,080 --> 01:35:25,519
Speaker 1: you look at Colorado's schedule, they got at Nebraska and

1770
01:35:25,600 --> 01:35:27,519
Speaker 1: at Colorado State. Neither one of those are going to

1771
01:35:27,560 --> 01:35:29,800
Speaker 1: be easy. Even if Colorado State's not good, that's a

1772
01:35:29,920 --> 01:35:34,519
Speaker 1: rivalry game and it's on the road Nebraska, they should

1773
01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:37,960
Speaker 1: be better. But let's say you start out three and zero.

1774
01:35:37,960 --> 01:35:40,439
Speaker 1: Then you get Baylor, and Baylor has their own issues

1775
01:35:40,479 --> 01:35:43,000
Speaker 1: with you know, David Randa's seat is really hot and

1776
01:35:43,120 --> 01:35:46,040
Speaker 1: they need a really good year. But there's your first

1777
01:35:46,080 --> 01:35:49,839
Speaker 1: four games and then you got UCF. Let's just suggest

1778
01:35:49,920 --> 01:35:54,080
Speaker 1: you're three and two and you're Colorado. There you're not

1779
01:35:54,160 --> 01:35:56,840
Speaker 1: quite at mid season. Then you play against a top

1780
01:35:56,880 --> 01:36:00,519
Speaker 1: twenty preseason ranked team in Kansas State. You go to

1781
01:36:00,760 --> 01:36:05,160
Speaker 1: Arizona that's another ranked team. Then you play Cincinnati Texas Tech,

1782
01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:08,479
Speaker 1: and you finish your season with three preseason ranked teams

1783
01:36:09,080 --> 01:36:12,800
Speaker 1: Utah at Kansas and Oklahoma State Oklahoma State. That's a

1784
01:36:12,880 --> 01:36:16,680
Speaker 1: sneaky game to watch on Saturday. To watch today is

1785
01:36:16,760 --> 01:36:20,679
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State against the jack Rabbits of South Dakota State.

1786
01:36:21,000 --> 01:36:26,880
Speaker 1: The reason why is because first off, SDSU has a

1787
01:36:28,240 --> 01:36:30,320
Speaker 1: they have the guy. Like if you're looking for the

1788
01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:37,800
Speaker 1: smaller college quarterback that NFL scouts are looking at, it's him.

1789
01:36:38,760 --> 01:36:41,719
Speaker 1: So they've got him. And last year they had arguably

1790
01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:45,559
Speaker 1: the best season we've ever seen one of those schools.

1791
01:36:45,680 --> 01:36:48,720
Speaker 1: Half like, they just they were outrageously good. So they're

1792
01:36:48,760 --> 01:36:52,000
Speaker 1: really good. Now, Oklahoma State is a very good football team,

1793
01:36:52,040 --> 01:36:53,960
Speaker 1: but I don't think they're the team that they have been.

1794
01:36:54,400 --> 01:36:57,920
Speaker 1: They weren't great last year, but I don't think this

1795
01:36:58,040 --> 01:37:00,880
Speaker 1: is one of Gundy's best teams either. That's game just

1796
01:37:01,200 --> 01:37:03,200
Speaker 1: watch that one. I think it's a ten point spread

1797
01:37:03,240 --> 01:37:06,519
Speaker 1: for Oklahoma State, which tells you they aren't sure about

1798
01:37:06,560 --> 01:37:08,960
Speaker 1: that one either. I mean, the Colorado spread was I

1799
01:37:09,040 --> 01:37:10,880
Speaker 1: think it was ten by the time the game started,

1800
01:37:10,920 --> 01:37:13,040
Speaker 1: but I think it opened at nine or nine and

1801
01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:16,560
Speaker 1: a half or something like that, and they didn't cover it.

1802
01:37:17,160 --> 01:37:19,800
Speaker 1: But that's the one to keep your eye on. But again,

1803
01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:23,639
Speaker 1: Kansas State, Arizona, Cincinnati will I mean, they're still pretty good.

1804
01:37:23,720 --> 01:37:27,200
Speaker 1: Texas Tech can give you trouble. I guess Utah they'll

1805
01:37:27,240 --> 01:37:31,640
Speaker 1: lose that game at Kansas Lance and Company. And then

1806
01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:35,600
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State. If you come out three and two of

1807
01:37:35,760 --> 01:37:37,519
Speaker 1: the seven that I just gave you, do you have

1808
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:39,680
Speaker 1: three more wins in you from there? I don't know,

1809
01:37:41,360 --> 01:37:48,160
Speaker 1: but if you do end up six and six. I

1810
01:37:48,240 --> 01:37:50,719
Speaker 1: think the other question is what seems like a success

1811
01:37:50,800 --> 01:37:54,040
Speaker 1: at Colorado this year? Because of the added attention and

1812
01:37:54,160 --> 01:37:56,519
Speaker 1: all that, are the expectations higher than they used to be?

1813
01:37:58,080 --> 01:38:00,720
Speaker 1: Not sure, but at the very least, if you're a

1814
01:38:00,760 --> 01:38:02,679
Speaker 1: Colorado fan, you can hang your hat on the fact

1815
01:38:03,320 --> 01:38:06,960
Speaker 1: that they won the game. They did beat North Dakota State.

1816
01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:08,720
Speaker 1: We didn't do a segment just now about how they're

1817
01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:13,479
Speaker 1: zero to one after losing to the Bison thirty one

1818
01:38:13,520 --> 01:38:15,800
Speaker 1: to twenty six. They win thirty one to twenty six,

1819
01:38:16,160 --> 01:38:19,000
Speaker 1: and again there must see TV every week because they're

1820
01:38:19,120 --> 01:38:22,720
Speaker 1: gonna create drama. There's a lot of flaws, which means

1821
01:38:22,760 --> 01:38:24,200
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of close games. But then

1822
01:38:24,240 --> 01:38:26,800
Speaker 1: there's just gonna be some dynamic, highlight real stuff from

1823
01:38:26,880 --> 01:38:30,400
Speaker 1: Sanders and Hunter. When we come back. We're gonna look

1824
01:38:30,400 --> 01:38:34,040
Speaker 1: at some of the matchups to open the day here

1825
01:38:34,120 --> 01:38:36,960
Speaker 1: on Saturday, some great ones at noon and throughout, and

1826

Speaker 6: What are you doing interrupting our promo?

1843
01:39:17,960 --> 01:39:20,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, it wasn't talking about you. You took those clips

1844
01:39:20,960 --> 01:39:22,040
Speaker 7: totally out of context.

1845
01:39:22,720 --> 01:39:25,240
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, well after this promo, I'm gonna take you

1846
01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:28,360
Speaker 5: out and beat you. Let me put this into context.

1847
01:39:28,720 --> 01:39:29,240
Speaker 6: Shut up.

1848
01:39:29,439 --> 01:39:29,639

1852
01:39:44,080 --> 01:39:48,080
Speaker 1: things you play at a wedding at the reception. I

1853
01:39:48,240 --> 01:39:51,439
Speaker 1: DJed a wedding once and some of these got played.

1854
01:39:51,680 --> 01:39:55,519
Speaker 1: But it is celebratory because football is back. Shortly after

1861
01:40:13,280 --> 01:40:15,080
Speaker 1: we get off the air. So let's take a look

1862
01:40:15,080 --> 01:40:17,040
Speaker 1: at some of the matchups that are happening today in

1863
01:40:17,080 --> 01:40:20,960
Speaker 1: college football. I mean, we've got some good ones. Not

1864
01:40:21,080 --> 01:40:23,040
Speaker 1: all of them are good. You know half the top

1865
01:40:23,120 --> 01:40:26,120
Speaker 1: twenty five. Let me get off on a rant real fast.

1866
01:40:28,040 --> 01:40:31,360
Speaker 1: I don't care about the preseason top twenty five rankings.

1867
01:40:31,960 --> 01:40:36,280
Speaker 1: It does create content, and it creates like here is, oh,

1868
01:40:36,439 --> 01:40:38,680
Speaker 1: you beat a ranked team? Well, I mean did you?

1869
01:40:38,800 --> 01:40:41,040
Speaker 1: I mean they haven't done anything yet if they do

1870
01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:43,200
Speaker 1: get upset. Did you really beat a ranked team? I

1871
01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:46,360
Speaker 1: guess on paper you did. But the reason why I

1872
01:40:46,479 --> 01:40:51,160
Speaker 1: don't like the preseason top twenty five is because it

1873
01:40:51,280 --> 01:40:54,600
Speaker 1: creates another imaginary obstacle for some team to have to

1874
01:40:55,320 --> 01:40:59,680
Speaker 1: get over that they shouldn't otherwise, I don't need to

1875
01:41:00,920 --> 01:41:02,800
Speaker 1: know who the top five are. And then you're a

1876
01:41:02,880 --> 01:41:08,080
Speaker 1: team for example that's like twentieth ranked. Okay, Like I'm

1877
01:41:08,120 --> 01:41:09,920
Speaker 1: trying to think of a good example of it here,

1878
01:41:10,800 --> 01:41:15,120
Speaker 1: but just think about all right, So Textas AY and M.

1879
01:41:15,160 --> 01:41:16,680
Speaker 1: I think Texas A and M is like twenty or

1880
01:41:16,720 --> 01:41:20,320
Speaker 1: twenty one in a country. Okay, let's say they go

1881
01:41:20,560 --> 01:41:23,559
Speaker 1: have a crazy good year, but they start out at

1882
01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:26,400
Speaker 1: twenty one. They still have to hope for all these

1883
01:41:26,439 --> 01:41:29,439
Speaker 1: other teams to lose, even if they don't get to

1884
01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:33,400
Speaker 1: play them, because they weren't ranked higher than them in

1885
01:41:33,479 --> 01:41:37,360
Speaker 1: a preseason ranking that was based on nothing. But here's

1886
01:41:37,400 --> 01:41:41,759
Speaker 1: our gut feeling. That's why I don't like it. Everybody

1887
01:41:42,120 --> 01:41:46,280
Speaker 1: start at zero, and I know they do when the

1888
01:41:46,320 --> 01:41:49,040
Speaker 1: win loss column, but they don't in the rankings, and

1889
01:41:49,160 --> 01:41:51,720
Speaker 1: so well, they didn't leave frog them, but they didn't

1890
01:41:51,720 --> 01:41:55,639
Speaker 1: even play them like. I don't like that for that reason.

1891
01:41:56,400 --> 01:41:58,760
Speaker 1: It's there for content and we get excited about it,

1892
01:41:58,840 --> 01:42:01,040
Speaker 1: and then you can talk about the rank games early

1893
01:42:01,120 --> 01:42:03,080
Speaker 1: in the year, which you otherwise wouldn't be able to do.

1894
01:42:03,760 --> 01:42:05,439
Speaker 1: But you could still say this team would be ranked

1895
01:42:05,479 --> 01:42:07,120
Speaker 1: if there were rankings, but they are always going to

1896
01:42:07,120 --> 01:42:09,360
Speaker 1: be preseason rankings. I just don't like them because I

1897
01:42:09,439 --> 01:42:12,120
Speaker 1: think that they then make it harder for a team

1898
01:42:12,200 --> 01:42:17,160
Speaker 1: that doesn't get an early preseason ranking to advance without help,

1899
01:42:18,200 --> 01:42:21,479
Speaker 1: even if they were to have a magnificent season. I

1900
01:42:22,120 --> 01:42:24,840
Speaker 1: think it makes it creates more problems than it solves.

1901
01:42:24,920 --> 01:42:31,160
Speaker 1: Let's just say that. But otherwise, I told you the

1902
01:42:31,200 --> 01:42:34,280
Speaker 1: Sneaky Game. To pay attention to Gronowski, the quarterback for

1903
01:42:35,360 --> 01:42:38,600
Speaker 1: South Dakota State. First off, watching him because he's going

1904
01:42:38,680 --> 01:42:40,920
Speaker 1: to be an NFL player, at least that's the expectation.

1905
01:42:41,760 --> 01:42:46,000
Speaker 1: And this is a team that had a season last

1906
01:42:46,080 --> 01:42:49,479
Speaker 1: year that's as good as you'll see from the smaller league,

1907
01:42:50,439 --> 01:42:53,599
Speaker 1: and they're playing against an Oklahoma State team that isn't great.

1908
01:42:55,000 --> 01:42:57,040
Speaker 1: They should beat them. I think they're a ten point favorite,

1909
01:42:57,080 --> 01:42:59,080
Speaker 1: and it is at home, it is in still Water,

1910
01:42:59,240 --> 01:43:01,400
Speaker 1: so I mean, I assume they still win the game,

1911
01:43:01,479 --> 01:43:03,559
Speaker 1: but that's one to keep your eye on, Like, if

1912
01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:05,960
Speaker 1: that goes the other way, don't be surprised, especially with

1913
01:43:06,080 --> 01:43:08,920
Speaker 1: it being Week one. That's the other thing. These are

1914
01:43:09,200 --> 01:43:13,000
Speaker 1: eighteen year olds, nineteen year olds under a ton of pressure,

1915
01:43:13,080 --> 01:43:16,800
Speaker 1: some of them for the first time ever, these giant crowds,

1916
01:43:17,040 --> 01:43:20,400
Speaker 1: all of this stuff. Man, stuff goes wrong. Things just happen.

1917
01:43:20,600 --> 01:43:22,320
Speaker 1: That's one of the things I love about college football

1918
01:43:22,400 --> 01:43:25,080
Speaker 1: is how unpredictable it can be because when you're dealing

1919
01:43:25,200 --> 01:43:28,719
Speaker 1: with immaturity, and I just mean in terms of age,

1920
01:43:28,760 --> 01:43:31,639
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about how you act or morality or anything.

1921
01:43:31,640 --> 01:43:35,799
Speaker 1: I'm just just an immaturity. Compared to an NFL season

1922
01:43:35,960 --> 01:43:39,080
Speaker 1: player that's been in college for a few years and

1923
01:43:39,240 --> 01:43:43,600
Speaker 1: now is playing at the highest level, these are in

1924
01:43:43,800 --> 01:43:48,799
Speaker 1: many ways they're still just developing, and it's right for mistakes.

1925
01:43:48,840 --> 01:43:50,760
Speaker 1: So you see the highs of the highs, but you

1926
01:43:50,840 --> 01:43:53,760
Speaker 1: also see some lows that you're never expecting and that

1927
01:43:53,960 --> 01:43:57,439
Speaker 1: just don't happen on the NFL level. I think it's

1928
01:43:57,520 --> 01:44:00,679
Speaker 1: the imperfections in college football that makes it so special

1929
01:44:02,080 --> 01:44:05,920
Speaker 1: and the traditions. But by the day, maybe even by

1930
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:09,639
Speaker 1: the hour, we are losing those traditions. So I digress.

1931
01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:14,519
Speaker 1: I think that that game that's that South Dakota State

1932
01:44:14,600 --> 01:44:17,000
Speaker 1: game with Oklahoma State is one to watch. Now. They

1933
01:44:17,040 --> 01:44:19,120
Speaker 1: may end up winning by fifty and you guys are

1934
01:44:19,200 --> 01:44:22,840
Speaker 1: laughing at me tomorrow, but I would watch that one

1935
01:44:22,840 --> 01:44:27,639
Speaker 1: if I were you. Penn State West Virginia. I'm down

1936
01:44:27,720 --> 01:44:29,639
Speaker 1: on Penn State this year because I just don't trust

1937
01:44:29,720 --> 01:44:32,400
Speaker 1: James Franklin winning games. I think Neil Brown's West Virginia

1938
01:44:32,439 --> 01:44:35,679
Speaker 1: team is coming in with some confidence into this. Penn

1939
01:44:35,720 --> 01:44:37,639
Speaker 1: State's like a seven and a half eight point favorite.

1940
01:44:37,680 --> 01:44:42,200
Speaker 1: I think it's a noon game. It's early. I don't

1941
01:44:42,200 --> 01:44:44,320
Speaker 1: know if I picked the upset. I don't know if

1942
01:44:44,360 --> 01:44:46,600
Speaker 1: West Virginia is the team, but I have heard a

1943
01:44:46,680 --> 01:44:50,280
Speaker 1: lot of buzz about that program over this last four

1944
01:44:50,400 --> 01:44:53,519
Speaker 1: or five months. So this is the kind of game

1945
01:44:53,600 --> 01:44:56,320
Speaker 1: that they if they put, you know, a pushpin in

1946
01:44:56,400 --> 01:45:00,960
Speaker 1: it on the blackboard. We're on their I don't know

1947
01:45:00,960 --> 01:45:04,439
Speaker 1: if anybody even uses blackboards anymore, but whiteboard, the expo marker,

1948
01:45:04,479 --> 01:45:06,920
Speaker 1: whatever it is. They could come in there and know,

1949
01:45:07,120 --> 01:45:08,840
Speaker 1: you know, this is a statement to set us up

1950
01:45:08,840 --> 01:45:11,680
Speaker 1: for the rest of the year. Penn State better show up.

1951
01:45:11,720 --> 01:45:14,120
Speaker 1: And again, whenever you're saying Penn State better show up

1952
01:45:14,160 --> 01:45:16,320
Speaker 1: on game day, that means the coach and I just

1953
01:45:17,320 --> 01:45:22,880
Speaker 1: I don't trust it. That could go either way. Miami

1954
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:27,160
Speaker 1: at Florida. We talked early in this show this morning

1955
01:45:27,240 --> 01:45:31,760
Speaker 1: about Florida's schedule. It's insane. If I'm Billy Napier, I'm

1956
01:45:31,800 --> 01:45:34,599
Speaker 1: just like, man, do you just want me out? Because

1957
01:45:34,640 --> 01:45:37,920
Speaker 1: that schedule is brutal. Six to the last seven games

1958
01:45:37,960 --> 01:45:40,680
Speaker 1: against preseason ranked teams. I know I just ranted about them,

1959
01:45:40,720 --> 01:45:43,439
Speaker 1: but I mean that means we know there's talent on

1960
01:45:43,479 --> 01:45:47,760
Speaker 1: all those teams, and it's you know, being an the

1961
01:45:47,920 --> 01:45:50,479
Speaker 1: SEC star. But then you open your season against the

1962
01:45:50,520 --> 01:45:53,080
Speaker 1: Miami team with Mario Cristobal. His seats a little bit hot,

1963
01:45:53,120 --> 01:45:55,160
Speaker 1: but they are at least and now that they know

1964
01:45:55,320 --> 01:46:00,800
Speaker 1: Florida State is not Florida State, Miami's got a shot

1965
01:46:00,840 --> 01:46:02,920
Speaker 1: to win that conference and If Miami wins the conference,

1966
01:46:03,040 --> 01:46:06,280
Speaker 1: they get the automatic bid and not Clemson they expect.

1967
01:46:06,360 --> 01:46:09,280
Speaker 1: I imagine that Clemson is gonna get drubbed by Georgia

1968
01:46:09,479 --> 01:46:12,040
Speaker 1: or at least lose by a couple of touchdowns. So

1969
01:46:12,200 --> 01:46:17,960
Speaker 1: Miami comes out beats Florida in the Swamp. That's a

1970
01:46:18,040 --> 01:46:20,960
Speaker 1: nice victory for them early in the year. If you

1971
01:46:21,040 --> 01:46:22,519
Speaker 1: play them later in the year, it's not gonna be

1972
01:46:22,520 --> 01:46:24,679
Speaker 1: as impressive. But if you beat them in the Swamp

1973
01:46:24,760 --> 01:46:27,720
Speaker 1: to open the season, maybe, But that that's a that's

1974
01:46:27,720 --> 01:46:32,320
Speaker 1: a big time game, big time atmosphere. Both those coaches

1975
01:46:32,439 --> 01:46:35,799
Speaker 1: really need a win there to get things started properly.

1976
01:46:36,760 --> 01:46:39,519
Speaker 1: That's one that I just think that's gonna be a war.

1977
01:46:39,680 --> 01:46:42,240
Speaker 1: There could be there could be some some fist flying

1978
01:46:42,280 --> 01:46:46,960
Speaker 1: in that game, Like there's there's gonna be bad blood,

1979
01:46:47,280 --> 01:46:49,720
Speaker 1: but in the good way, in the competitive way. But

1980
01:46:49,840 --> 01:46:53,519
Speaker 1: that's that's gonna be a fun one. This afternoon l

1981
01:46:53,640 --> 01:46:56,439
Speaker 1: s U USC is a Sunday game. We know what

1982
01:46:56,560 --> 01:47:02,280
Speaker 1: that's gonna be. That is well, I mean, it's USC

1983
01:47:02,479 --> 01:47:05,080
Speaker 1: joining the Big Ten. They already have their added challenge.

1984
01:47:06,120 --> 01:47:07,960
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna go particularly great for them,

1985
01:47:08,040 --> 01:47:10,439
Speaker 1: even though they're I think twenty three in a country

1986
01:47:10,520 --> 01:47:13,200
Speaker 1: right now in LSU's thirteen. I don't have LSU in

1987
01:47:13,280 --> 01:47:17,160
Speaker 1: my final twelve, but I had them as like the

1988
01:47:17,320 --> 01:47:19,040
Speaker 1: if you want to do the first four out or

1989
01:47:19,080 --> 01:47:20,559
Speaker 1: something like that, I had them in like the first

1990
01:47:20,600 --> 01:47:22,840
Speaker 1: five or six out. I still think they're gonna be

1991
01:47:22,880 --> 01:47:24,960
Speaker 1: good this year. I just think they're gonna get beat

1992
01:47:25,040 --> 01:47:27,160
Speaker 1: up in the schedule and lose a game or two

1993
01:47:27,840 --> 01:47:32,080
Speaker 1: that they that keeps them out. But that's when LSU's

1994
01:47:32,120 --> 01:47:34,720
Speaker 1: done this before, and seem to do it quite a lot.

1995
01:47:34,720 --> 01:47:36,559
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, play these Sunday night games

1996
01:47:36,800 --> 01:47:39,519
Speaker 1: early in the year. I didn't work out war them

1997
01:47:39,640 --> 01:47:43,760
Speaker 1: last year at all. The winner here it's a real

1998
01:47:44,040 --> 01:47:47,519
Speaker 1: I think it's a real springboard for your season because

1999
01:47:47,560 --> 01:47:50,400
Speaker 1: both programs have high aspirations. In USC, there's just a

2000
01:47:50,479 --> 01:47:53,120
Speaker 1: ton of question marks. It's what is Lincoln Riley gonna

2001
01:47:53,120 --> 01:47:57,280
Speaker 1: do now without Caleb Williams. I know they've got talent

2002
01:47:57,360 --> 01:47:59,960
Speaker 1: at that position, and they've got a new defensive coordinator,

2003
01:48:00,439 --> 01:48:02,120
Speaker 1: but we got to see that happen because he's had

2004
01:48:02,160 --> 01:48:04,360
Speaker 1: multiple defensive coordinators in his career and he's never had

2005
01:48:04,400 --> 01:48:08,760
Speaker 1: a good defense, not a USC, not at Oklahoma. That's

2006
01:48:08,800 --> 01:48:11,599
Speaker 1: gonna need to change, especially in the Big Ten, where

2007
01:48:11,920 --> 01:48:14,040
Speaker 1: the size that he sees on a weekly basis is

2008
01:48:14,080 --> 01:48:16,799
Speaker 1: gonna be different. The amount that they run the football

2009
01:48:16,920 --> 01:48:20,040
Speaker 1: directly at his guys and try to control the clock.

2010
01:48:20,600 --> 01:48:24,759
Speaker 1: I mean, can you imagine USC and like the Iowa offense.

2011
01:48:26,400 --> 01:48:28,880
Speaker 1: We know how bad the Iowa offense is, but the

2012
01:48:28,960 --> 01:48:31,760
Speaker 1: way that they play defense and they can control the

2013
01:48:31,880 --> 01:48:36,360
Speaker 1: ball even if they're not scoring, they could just bore

2014
01:48:36,479 --> 01:48:38,640
Speaker 1: you to death running the ball if they need to,

2015
01:48:40,080 --> 01:48:42,640
Speaker 1: like USC's gonna have to, They're gonna have to be

2016
01:48:42,840 --> 01:48:47,080
Speaker 1: tougher than we have seen. So that's a big test

2017
01:48:47,120 --> 01:48:52,439
Speaker 1: against LSU for them. And then Georgia Clemson. Clemson's who

2018
01:48:52,520 --> 01:48:55,360
Speaker 1: I have coming out of the ACC with Florida State

2019
01:48:55,479 --> 01:48:58,560
Speaker 1: not not looking like they'd have the same level of

2020
01:48:58,640 --> 01:49:01,599
Speaker 1: talent that they had a year ago. And I don't

2021
01:49:01,720 --> 01:49:06,400
Speaker 1: quite buy into Miami, even though we'll see this is

2022
01:49:06,479 --> 01:49:09,600
Speaker 1: not going to be a good day for Clempson. Kay Klebnick,

2023
01:49:09,680 --> 01:49:12,720
Speaker 1: and with all due respect to Dabbo and everything that

2024
01:49:12,720 --> 01:49:15,200
Speaker 1: they've done there, George is just a completely different animal.

2025
01:49:15,800 --> 01:49:19,400
Speaker 1: Georgia has the most talent in the country. We know this,

2026
01:49:19,920 --> 01:49:22,320
Speaker 1: We've seen this. It hasn't changed. Go look at the

2027
01:49:22,360 --> 01:49:25,200
Speaker 1: recruiting rankings. The off season still got its problems for

2028
01:49:25,320 --> 01:49:28,160
Speaker 1: Georgia when it comes to what's happening off the field.

2029
01:49:28,479 --> 01:49:35,040
Speaker 1: Get these guys stop driving so fast, but they're just better.

2030
01:49:36,320 --> 01:49:38,360
Speaker 1: I don't think the champion coming out of the ACC

2031
01:49:38,680 --> 01:49:41,160
Speaker 1: is a top six or seven team in the league

2032
01:49:41,439 --> 01:49:44,360
Speaker 1: or in the country when we get to that spot,

2033
01:49:45,720 --> 01:49:49,200
Speaker 1: but I think Clemson. I think Clemson's gonna have better days.

2034
01:49:49,320 --> 01:49:50,680
Speaker 1: This is not gonna be a good one. I think

2035
01:49:50,720 --> 01:49:52,360
Speaker 1: George is probably gonna win that game by a couple

2036
01:49:52,439 --> 01:49:55,560
Speaker 1: of touchdowns. And then Notre Dame in a and m

2037
01:49:57,000 --> 01:49:59,320
Speaker 1: Notre Dame going to Kyle Field to play in front

2038
01:49:59,320 --> 01:50:04,000
Speaker 1: of almost a hund In three thousand, they renovated that stadium,

2039
01:50:04,080 --> 01:50:05,680
Speaker 1: so now it's even louder than it used to be.

2040
01:50:05,880 --> 01:50:09,439
Speaker 1: It's going to be nuts as an atmosphere. And you've

2041
01:50:09,479 --> 01:50:13,400
Speaker 1: got another The Notre Dame has become the Indianapolis Colts

2042
01:50:13,479 --> 01:50:17,960
Speaker 1: of college football, and by that I mean not just

2043
01:50:18,040 --> 01:50:19,760
Speaker 1: because they happened to be in the same state, but

2044
01:50:19,840 --> 01:50:22,080
Speaker 1: because they seem to be rent a quarterback every year.

2045
01:50:22,800 --> 01:50:25,200
Speaker 1: And that's what the culture trying to break with Anthony

2046
01:50:25,320 --> 01:50:27,360
Speaker 1: Richardson if he's able to stay healthy this year and

2047
01:50:27,600 --> 01:50:30,439
Speaker 1: become their franchise guy. But I mean it was Carson

2048
01:50:30,479 --> 01:50:33,360
Speaker 1: Wentz and it was Philip Rivers. Like once Luck left,

2049
01:50:33,760 --> 01:50:35,920
Speaker 1: you didn't have anything stable, and so they would just

2050
01:50:35,960 --> 01:50:39,320
Speaker 1: grab somebody new every year, and sometimes it worked. And

2051
01:50:40,360 --> 01:50:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, the same thing has proven true to some

2052
01:50:42,800 --> 01:50:46,080
Speaker 1: degree at Notre Dame, but didn't ended up being as

2053
01:50:46,120 --> 01:50:47,680
Speaker 1: good as you thought it was going to be with

2054
01:50:47,800 --> 01:50:51,120
Speaker 1: Sam Hartman. And now you've got Riley Leonard, another acc

2055
01:50:51,320 --> 01:50:54,840
Speaker 1: guy from another academic institution who's coming in that's done

2056
01:50:54,840 --> 01:50:58,320
Speaker 1: a lot, who's coming back off an injury, and I've

2057
01:50:58,400 --> 01:51:00,360
Speaker 1: got them high this year. I think they're going to

2058
01:51:00,439 --> 01:51:03,720
Speaker 1: end up in the College Football Playoff. But you know,

2059
01:51:03,960 --> 01:51:06,639
Speaker 1: this is a tough environment and it's not the Jimbo

2060
01:51:06,720 --> 01:51:08,840
Speaker 1: Fisher A and M. This is a different A and M.

2061
01:51:09,120 --> 01:51:11,280
Speaker 1: And that's gonna be fascinating in its own right. That's

2062
01:51:11,360 --> 01:51:13,360
Speaker 1: just there's a lot to like about that game, and

2063
01:51:13,479 --> 01:51:15,960
Speaker 1: that game's going to be right there in the mix

2064
01:51:16,120 --> 01:51:18,280
Speaker 1: of it's still I think gonna be on by the

2065
01:51:18,320 --> 01:51:21,400
Speaker 1: time Tours and I hit the air, or it's going

2066
01:51:21,479 --> 01:51:24,400
Speaker 1: to have just ended. It's going to be real close there,

2067
01:51:24,560 --> 01:51:26,640
Speaker 1: so we'll be reacting in real time to that one.

2068
01:51:26,720 --> 01:51:28,800
Speaker 1: So that's just some matchups to keep your eye on.

2069
01:51:28,920 --> 01:51:31,000
Speaker 1: It's a pretty good, honest, it's a pretty good Week

2070
01:51:31,080 --> 01:51:35,639
Speaker 1: one slate. There's there's something in every window from noon

2071
01:51:36,200 --> 01:51:38,960
Speaker 1: straight on through the end of the evening to watch.

2072
01:51:39,560 --> 01:51:42,360
Speaker 1: And that's all you can ask for. Now. I asked

2073
01:51:42,360 --> 01:51:44,320
Speaker 1: for one more thing, and that is one more update

2074
01:51:44,479 --> 01:51:46,680

2080

2081
01:52:00,439 --> 01:52:02,640
Speaker 4: minutes before tc were able to pull away and win

2082
01:52:02,720 --> 01:52:04,519
Speaker 4: it thirty four to twenty seven. But it was twenty

2083
01:52:04,600 --> 01:52:07,200
Speaker 4: seven to twenty four in favor of the horn Frogs

2084
01:52:07,240 --> 01:52:10,040
Speaker 4: up until the last couple of minutes. Josh Uver not

Speaker 4: standing game at quarterback three hundred and fifty three passing

2086

Speaker 4: Breonna Stewart, a big game for the New York Liberty

2127
01:54:29,439 --> 01:54:31,880
Speaker 4: thirty six points as New York beats the Seattle Storm

2128
01:54:31,960 --> 01:54:33,320
Speaker 4: ninety eight to ninety five.

2129
01:54:33,440 --> 01:54:40,960
Speaker 1: Back to you, Thank you, Kevin. He mentioned Otani forty three,

2130
01:54:41,080 --> 01:54:46,560
Speaker 1: forty three first ever. He's the best baseball player I've

2131
01:54:46,600 --> 01:54:53,280
Speaker 1: ever seen, and I'm it's not even particularly close. I

2132
01:54:53,640 --> 01:54:55,600
Speaker 1: was with Brian no on Monday morning and we did

2133
01:54:55,760 --> 01:54:59,400
Speaker 1: mention that you've got to appreciate this. I talked earlier

2134
01:54:59,440 --> 01:55:03,240
Speaker 1: about make sure that you watch greatness and appreciate it

2135
01:55:03,320 --> 01:55:06,640
Speaker 1: while it's happening, or try to try to slow down

2136
01:55:06,760 --> 01:55:09,560
Speaker 1: enough to appreciate it. This is all time great, and

2137
01:55:09,640 --> 01:55:12,320
Speaker 1: what Aaron Judge is doing is all time great, and

2138
01:55:12,440 --> 01:55:14,040
Speaker 1: it's all happened in the same year. It's not been

2139
01:55:14,080 --> 01:55:15,800
Speaker 1: the best year for baseball when it comes to just

2140
01:55:16,040 --> 01:55:19,440
Speaker 1: eyeballs and attention. I think the regional sports network thing

2141
01:55:19,560 --> 01:55:21,600
Speaker 1: really hurt. Definitely hurt me as a Braves fan not

2142
01:55:21,680 --> 01:55:24,280
Speaker 1: being able to watch them every day. It just made

2143
01:55:24,280 --> 01:55:26,640
Speaker 1: it hard to stay completely dialed into a league that

2144
01:55:26,680 --> 01:55:31,720
Speaker 1: I was fully invested in a year ago. But Otani

2145
01:55:31,920 --> 01:55:35,680
Speaker 1: is just is it ridiculous to say he might even

2146
01:55:35,720 --> 01:55:40,560
Speaker 1: be underpaid considering what he's being paid just preposterously good,

2147
01:55:41,760 --> 01:55:46,160
Speaker 1: dumb levels of good. It's a privilege that we are

2148
01:55:46,400 --> 01:55:48,840
Speaker 1: able to watch him do what he does. When we

2149
01:55:48,960 --> 01:55:53,920
Speaker 1: come back at this break final segment, Dak Prescott is

2150
01:55:54,000 --> 01:55:58,280
Speaker 1: talking a lot about money, and I think that the

2151
01:55:58,360 --> 01:56:01,360
Speaker 1: money comes with the performance. We'll discuss that to finish

2152
01:56:01,400 --> 01:56:03,480
Speaker 1: off the program. Next, it's the Bernie Frado Show. I'm

2168
01:57:01,840 --> 01:57:05,520
Speaker 1: to Kickoff, presented by bet MGM right here on Fox

2169
01:57:05,560 --> 01:57:11,320
Speaker 1: Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. Dak Prescott he said

2170
01:57:11,560 --> 01:57:15,320
Speaker 1: something to the extent of it shows a lot, or

2171
01:57:15,360 --> 01:57:18,760
Speaker 1: it says a lot that you know they don't have

2172
01:57:18,840 --> 01:57:21,120
Speaker 1: a deal and they're talking about a deal here before

2173
01:57:21,200 --> 01:57:22,840
Speaker 1: the season, and so what does that mean? Well, just

2174
01:57:22,920 --> 01:57:24,760
Speaker 1: where people's heads are. I think it's what he said.

2175
01:57:25,200 --> 01:57:26,880
Speaker 1: He said it wasn't gonna affet him. He's worried about

2176
01:57:26,920 --> 01:57:28,720
Speaker 1: the season, all this kind of stuff, but he did

2177
01:57:28,840 --> 01:57:34,840
Speaker 1: manage to say that in the process. Dak is by

2178
01:57:34,880 --> 01:57:38,600
Speaker 1: all accounts, very good guy, good in the community, easy

2179
01:57:38,680 --> 01:57:42,080
Speaker 1: to root for. I don't root here, though, just because

2180
01:57:43,400 --> 01:57:44,720
Speaker 1: I don't need you to talk a lot. I just

2181
01:57:44,840 --> 01:57:46,760
Speaker 1: needs you to play in this case, because I think

2182
01:57:46,800 --> 01:57:49,760
Speaker 1: that what you're talking about gets taken care of if

2183
01:57:49,800 --> 01:57:53,800
Speaker 1: you play. I could bring up his stats. I know

2184
01:57:53,880 --> 01:57:56,200
Speaker 1: his stats have been good, but he is not measured

2185
01:57:56,240 --> 01:57:58,200
Speaker 1: by what he does in the regular season. He's measured

2186
01:57:58,280 --> 01:58:00,320
Speaker 1: as are we did earlier. I did it earlier in

2187
01:58:00,360 --> 01:58:03,520
Speaker 1: the second hour said who of these three AFC quarterbacks

2188
01:58:03,560 --> 01:58:06,720
Speaker 1: has the most pressure on them this year? Josh Allen,

2189
01:58:06,800 --> 01:58:09,440
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson Tuwatongue below and I said it was Josh Allen.

2190
01:58:10,120 --> 01:58:13,120
Speaker 1: And the main reason why is because now that Stefan

2191
01:58:13,160 --> 01:58:15,520
Speaker 1: Diggs has gone, Gave Davis has gone, all these guys

2192
01:58:15,600 --> 01:58:20,600
Speaker 1: that you're used to wearing Bill's jerseys as pass catchers

2193
01:58:20,640 --> 01:58:22,840
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen are not there. So it's a new crop.

2194
01:58:23,360 --> 01:58:25,120
Speaker 1: If the new crop fails, it's going to be on

2195
01:58:25,200 --> 01:58:27,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. I think, I think the pressure is there

2196
01:58:27,280 --> 01:58:28,880
Speaker 1: where they're going to say, oh, well, you weren't able

2197
01:58:28,960 --> 01:58:30,800
Speaker 1: to bring them up to the level. So maybe you

2198
01:58:30,880 --> 01:58:33,600
Speaker 1: were just a product of your talent because Stefan Diggs

2199
01:58:33,640 --> 01:58:37,120
Speaker 1: was there. Remember when Tyreek Hill left, it was how

2200
01:58:37,200 --> 01:58:41,160
Speaker 1: we recognized the greatness of Patrick Mahomes being even maybe

2201
01:58:41,760 --> 01:58:44,920
Speaker 1: more special to me thought was how he was still

2202
01:58:45,040 --> 01:58:48,960
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes after Tyreek Hill and even last year by

2203
01:58:49,040 --> 01:58:50,920
Speaker 1: the time you got to the Super Bowl, he had

2204
01:58:50,960 --> 01:58:54,200
Speaker 1: found something in his young guys. Josh Allen needs to

2205
01:58:54,280 --> 01:58:57,000
Speaker 1: have that kind of season. Similarly, well, when you look

2206
01:58:57,080 --> 01:58:59,600
Speaker 1: at Dak Prescott, he's obviously gonna have a lot of

2207
01:58:59,600 --> 01:59:02,720
Speaker 1: pressure on him all the time. But if Josh Allen

2208
01:59:02,760 --> 01:59:04,920
Speaker 1: goes to performs, it's not gonna matter how much pressure

2209
01:59:04,960 --> 01:59:06,880
Speaker 1: he has on him to open the season, He's gonna

2210
01:59:06,880 --> 01:59:11,160
Speaker 1: have succeeded. Dak Prescott has done squat in the postseason,

2211
01:59:11,560 --> 01:59:13,680
Speaker 1: and so I don't really and I don't think anybody

2212
01:59:13,760 --> 01:59:16,080
Speaker 1: measures him based on his regular season stats. We know

2213
01:59:16,200 --> 01:59:19,280
Speaker 1: he can play. Here's the question, though, the deal that

2214
01:59:19,400 --> 01:59:25,760
Speaker 1: he seeks, are you irreplaceable? Can you not find another

2215
01:59:25,880 --> 01:59:29,800
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott if you're the Dallas Cowboys or someone that

2216
01:59:29,920 --> 01:59:32,840
Speaker 1: gives you similar production. I think the answer, of course,

2217
01:59:33,040 --> 01:59:37,840
Speaker 1: is no, He's not irreplaceable. He's not Patrick Mahomes, he's

2218
01:59:37,920 --> 01:59:41,600
Speaker 1: not Joe Burrow, He's not, in my opinion, CJ. Stroud,

2219
01:59:41,720 --> 01:59:47,360
Speaker 1: He's not that guy. He's a very good quarterback. I

2220
01:59:47,440 --> 01:59:49,880
Speaker 1: stopped short of calling him anything more than that. And

2221
01:59:50,000 --> 01:59:52,640
Speaker 1: I think it's very possible he's wearing a different jersey

2222
01:59:52,720 --> 01:59:55,440
Speaker 1: next year. Maybe he's with the Raiders. That's been speculated

2223
01:59:55,480 --> 01:59:58,000
Speaker 1: and talked about. But him saying you know it says

2224
01:59:58,000 --> 01:59:59,680
Speaker 1: a lot. We don't have a deal, and you know,

2225
01:59:59,760 --> 02:00:01,760
Speaker 1: my agent and the team, they're gonna decide if we

2226
02:00:01,840 --> 02:00:04,280
Speaker 1: talk about this during the season. The Cowboys are not

2227
02:00:04,320 --> 02:00:07,400
Speaker 1: gonna have a good year. They're just not. I'm here

2228
02:00:07,480 --> 02:00:10,520
Speaker 1: to tell you that right now. Seedy got paid and

2229
02:00:10,640 --> 02:00:12,760
Speaker 1: that was the best decision that Jerry has made in

2230
02:00:12,800 --> 02:00:14,920
Speaker 1: a while. But you still got some other guys that

2231
02:00:15,000 --> 02:00:17,840
Speaker 1: want money, and that's been a malcontent situation. I still

2232
02:00:17,840 --> 02:00:21,720
Speaker 1: don't think your head coach is very good. By very

2233
02:00:21,760 --> 02:00:25,440
Speaker 1: good meaning what that means NFL parlance meaning super Bowl

2234
02:00:25,520 --> 02:00:29,960
Speaker 1: level to me. And then you just it's just everything

2235
02:00:30,040 --> 02:00:32,320
Speaker 1: that's being talked about seems to be not the field.

2236
02:00:32,360 --> 02:00:34,440
Speaker 1: And now you got Debron Bland out for a while.

2237
02:00:34,960 --> 02:00:38,600
Speaker 1: On top of that, you're all pro corner. Just every

2238
02:00:38,680 --> 02:00:41,000
Speaker 1: story about the Cowboys in the offseason outside of that

2239
02:00:41,080 --> 02:00:44,080
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb getting paid story this week has been not

2240
02:00:44,240 --> 02:00:47,240
Speaker 1: the stuff you want. So I don't like their season.

2241
02:00:47,400 --> 02:00:50,400
Speaker 1: Chances if that goes out and plays, he's gonna get paid.

2242
02:00:52,240 --> 02:00:54,240
Speaker 1: It's that simple. He doesn't need to talk about that

2243
02:00:54,280 --> 02:00:56,480
Speaker 1: says a lot. We don't have a deal. No, you

2244
02:00:56,600 --> 02:00:59,800
Speaker 1: can say far more by going out there and bawling

2245
02:00:59,840 --> 02:01:04,320
Speaker 1: out all season and shutting everyone up, every skeptic or

2246
02:01:04,400 --> 02:01:08,640
Speaker 1: everyone that's at least hesitant. You see deals made when

2247
02:01:08,720 --> 02:01:12,960
Speaker 1: someone has something to lose. Iyuk and the forty nine ers.

2248
02:01:13,040 --> 02:01:18,160
Speaker 1: That finally happened because both parties recognized and I think

2249
02:01:18,200 --> 02:01:20,240
Speaker 1: the Niners always wanted a Uk, but they wanted him

2250
02:01:20,240 --> 02:01:22,800
Speaker 1: at their number, not his, and so they let him

2251
02:01:22,840 --> 02:01:25,280
Speaker 1: find out that his number probably wasn't out there for

2252
02:01:25,400 --> 02:01:27,440
Speaker 1: him to get somewhere else that he wanted to be,

2253
02:01:28,080 --> 02:01:30,000
Speaker 1: and so they were able to get him pretty much

2254
02:01:30,040 --> 02:01:32,040
Speaker 1: at the deal that he said no to, or his

2255
02:01:32,120 --> 02:01:35,280
Speaker 1: agent said no to a couple months ago. They had

2256
02:01:35,320 --> 02:01:38,440
Speaker 1: to leverage the whole time, and you know, he did

2257
02:01:38,480 --> 02:01:41,800
Speaker 1: what he could and he's certainly no reason not to

2258
02:01:41,920 --> 02:01:45,880
Speaker 1: do that. But and he got paid pretty well. Maybe

2259
02:01:45,920 --> 02:01:47,720
Speaker 1: not what he wanted, but he got paid pretty well.

2260
02:01:48,600 --> 02:01:50,920
Speaker 1: But that's what it is right now. Who's got something

2261
02:01:50,960 --> 02:01:53,480
Speaker 1: to lose in this Dallas Dack thing really none of

2262
02:01:53,480 --> 02:01:55,360
Speaker 1: them because they're not going to win Super Bowl anyway.

2263
02:01:56,000 --> 02:01:58,320
Speaker 1: Dak doesn't have anything to lose right now, and the

2264
02:01:58,400 --> 02:02:01,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys don't need to rush and get this done either

2265
02:02:01,480 --> 02:02:05,120
Speaker 1: because there's no I don't think the market is giant

2266
02:02:05,240 --> 02:02:07,360
Speaker 1: for Tag Prescott right now, not at the money that

2267
02:02:07,440 --> 02:02:11,040
Speaker 1: he wants. So we'll see how that goes. But that's

2268
02:02:11,040 --> 02:02:14,200
Speaker 1: another big question mark entering the seasons. Is that drama

2269
02:02:14,400 --> 02:02:18,840
Speaker 1: going to continue to sit over that franchise throughout the season.

2270
02:02:19,040 --> 02:02:21,360
Speaker 1: Is that actually going to play a negative? All right,

2271
02:02:21,600 --> 02:02:23,560
Speaker 1: The Fellows are coming up next, then you got count

2272
02:02:23,640 --> 02:02:26,000
Speaker 1: down to kickoff and then it's college football check out.

2273
02:02:26,040 --> 02:02:29,920
Speaker 1: Me and Aaron Torres tonight eleven pm Eastern Time, will

2274
02:02:29,960 --> 02:02:32,840
Speaker 1: be with you for three hours, looking forward. So forward

2275
02:02:32,920 --> 02:02:35,680
