1
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: Make no mistake, I love all of you, but I'm

2
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: disappointed in some of you.

3
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 2: Some of you knowing that I've been speaking.

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: At the Personnel Symposium, knowing I had a one year

5
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: anniversary yesterday, knowing it's a busy week, some of you

6
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: had the audacity to ask.

7
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: Was the show gonna get canceled this week? Friends?

8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: Friends, This show is why everything else exists. Basically, so

9
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: we would defer, we would turn down commitments before we

10
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: canceled the show. Late Kick is live as it should be.

11
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: We are high atop a blazing hot downtown Nashville, Tennessee, Tuesday,

12
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: August sixth year of Our Lord, twenty twenty four.

13
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: Yes, we're jam packed. How else would we bring you

14
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: the show.

15
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: I'm getting a lot of blowback on that little Michigan

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: take I had the other night, but I'm gonna defend

17
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: myself as no one else is willing to do. So

18
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: only I can because I don't think I said anything

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: out of line. However, some of you did, and your

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: voice will be heard tonight. Camp Intel Scoop across the

21
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: country got loads of it tonight, probably as loaded a

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: fall Camp Scoop and Intel segment as we've done all

23
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: year because we've done two of them still though it's

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: pretty loaded. Georgia record prediction tonight, Oregon record prediction tonight.

25
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: Some of you are a little bit out of shape

26
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: by what Auburn's doing and recruiting. We got both predictions

27
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: on the show. We got what IF's on the show.

28
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: I heard on the street. The live chat is back.

29
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: The Rogue Renegade live chat segment is back on the

30
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: end of the show.

31
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: So get ready.

32
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: They're watching us in weather for Texas, Pacific Palisades, California,

33
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: Management Country is tuned in tonight, Aurora, Colorado, Jacksonville, Florida.

34
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: As I said, we're gonna delve into the live chat

35
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the show. And for those of

36
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: you who are around last Thursday, I think it was

37
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: anything can happen and almost anything goes at Lake Kick Josh.

38
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: Make sure you're following Instagram, Twitter at Lake Kick Josh.

39
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: There is so much happening in August you would be

40
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: shocked at what it takes to get a college football

41
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: season off the ground in the major media slash broadcasting world.

42
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: I was in on some of it today at CBS

43
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: with our big seminar all of it's off the record,

44
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: in confidential. I'm not allowed to probably even tell you

45
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: what I just told you. It is wild how many

46
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: people have to do so many things to make one

47
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: of those seasons go off without a hitch. So I'm

48
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: going to give you nothing from that. However, I'm going

49
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: to give you some scoop from this personnel and recruiting

50
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: symposium a little bit later in the show. I've been

51
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: a part over the last two days. It's still going

52
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: on in Nashville for another day. Interesting stuff, So I'm

53
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: going to get to that a little bit later. However,

54
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: here's what I want to lead with tonight, this whole

55
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: Michigan NCAA investigation.

56
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: We led the show with it the other night. I

57
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 2: told you what I felt.

58
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: Since then, we've had Pete Thamil go on ESPN and

59
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: he and Dan Murphy authored the piece that we were

60
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: reacting to the other night where we found out a

61
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: draft had been sent to Michigan. A notice of allegations

62
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: is on the way, and that's usual kind of usual

63
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: standard operating procedure for an NCUBA investigation. It ties back

64
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: to the whole Connor Stallion's Signs stealing scandal from last year.

65
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: So since then, a lot of you noticed a couple things.

66
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: A lot of you noticed what I said the other night.

67
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: I'll get to that to a second. But also since

68
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: Pete Thammeil and Dan Murphy put that piece out, I

69
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: think it was Pete that went on ESPN and said

70
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: I don't expect there to be a postseason ban or

71
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 1: anything like that. I don't expect records to be stripped.

72
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: I think he was mainly kind of of the opinion

73
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: I was of, and that is, I just think whatever

74
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: happens will be a fine suspension. That sort of thing's

75
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: on the table, but all the old school NCUBLEA type

76
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: punishments are off the table. And so maybe that's true.

77
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: I told you I got no information on that. Your

78
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: guess is as good as mine on that front. I'm

79
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: just gonna react to that this way. Do we really know?

80
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: Pete may know. Paul Finebaum saw him on there the

81
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: other day, He may know. I got no clue. So

82
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: I'm just baselessly speculating on this particular front.

83
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: Do we really know?

84
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: In other words, is there any confidence to be had

85
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: by using precedent.

86
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 2: I'm not quite sure.

87
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: Even if you could go back in time, and find

88
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: a case that you know, broadstrokes purposes loosely resembles this.

89
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 2: This is not the same NCUALEA. It's not the same

90
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:18,799
Speaker 2: governance structure.

91
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: I personally have felt there's a lot more rogue nature

92
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: about this investigation. It's felt a lot more personal to me.

93
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: So that's my outside opinion on that they may be

94
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: dead on the money. My guess would be there on

95
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: the money. But if I were a Michigan fan, I

96
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't just have total confidence in that cause someone went

97
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: on TV and said it. It's what I'm saying, like

98
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: when I've got a draft of a notice of allegations,

99
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: and that thing said the other day Pete Dammel and

100
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: Dan Murphy's reporting on ESPN dot com the other day,

101
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: it's worth the paper pomp said a level one violation

102
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: for lack of institutional cooperation. I'm paraphrasing there that it

103
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: wasn't the exact language, But that's not a small deal.

104
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: That just kind of got glossed over. That's not a

105
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: small deal. So that was what we led the show

106
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: with the other night, And I told you a couple

107
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: things the other night.

108
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 2: The first thing I.

109
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: Told you is what I've told you for months, even

110
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: when this investigation was really heating up in the fall,

111
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: and we were at the Penn State game. Yeah, I'm

112
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: still not gonna tell that story, but we were at

113
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: the Penn State game the day Harpball found out he

114
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna be able to coach.

115
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: He suspended.

116
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: So Sharon Moore, interim head coach, steps in and they

117
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: beat Penn State, and it's really emotional on the field,

118
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: and then all throughout the rest of the season, like,

119
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen? Is this title legitimate? If they go

120
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: on to win it, well, they did go on to

121
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: win it, is it legitimate? And I told you, hey,

122
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: if I'm I was a Michigan fan, I wouldn't care

123
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: about the outside noise. I would treat the edge of

124
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: this season like the edge of a cliff. I'm not

125
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: looking past twenty twenty three. I've got a generational team here.

126
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: We're on a generational run. A lot of these guys

127
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: came back for this. There's great continuity and culture inside

128
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: the locker room, to the point where the outside noise

129
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: only galvanized them. And so I thought to myself, if

130
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: I were a Michigan fan, I said the same thing

131
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: all fall that I said the other night. I wouldn't

132
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: care because the NCAA could do their worst, they can't

133
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: take away my memories. I saw us beat Ohio State,

134
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: I saw us win the Rose Bowl in overtime. I mean,

135
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: that's a scene for the ages out there. I saw

136
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: us beat Washington and win the National Championship. I don't

137
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: care if some four letter organization in Indianapolis comes down

138
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: the road and says, no, you have to give us

139
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: that banner back. Well, you can't take my memory, and

140
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: that's what it's all about for me as a fan.

141
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: Now I'm not a Michigan fan. So then I gave

142
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: you Part two the other night, and a lot of

143
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: you prayer emoji. A lot of you had a problem

144
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: with it, which I suspected, so I'm going to address it.

145
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: But as we always do on the show, the one

146
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: thing that I do ask is, well, subscribe to the channel.

147
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: The second thing I ask is make sure if you

148
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: disagree with me, just make sure you're disagreeing with something

149
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: I said. So, in the interest of fairness, in the

150
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: interest of full disclosure, I had producer Jesse and director

151
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: Colin create a helpful minute to minute and a half

152
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: clip from the other night, and so to be perfectly clear,

153
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: there's any question in the room. This is how I

154
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: personally feel about the whole Connor Stallions signs stealing NCAA

155
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: investigation into Michigan rolling Colin. I was at all those

156
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: games too. I stood on the sideline for every one

157
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: of the games I just listed. I don't think Connor

158
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: Stallions had anything to do with Michigan being able to

159
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: put together that fourth quarter driving against Ohio State.

160
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: I don't.

161
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: I don't believe Connor Stallions had anything to do with

162
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: Michigan coming from behind with about five and changed left

163
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: and then trailing Alabama. The didn't getting it done with

164
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: a stop in overtime. I don't think Connor Stallions had

165
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: anything to do with that. I don't think he had

166
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: anything to do with him largely owning Washington in the

167
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: National title game.

168
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 2: I just think they were the better team. I think

169
00:07:58,680 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: they found a way.

170
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: I think a lot of guys had their backs against

171
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: the wall and they executed. And that's how I'll remember it.

172
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: If you remember it differently, you go ahead and remember

173
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: it differently. I just say my strategy on this is

174
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: gonna be I'm gonna wait a little bit longer because,

175
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: as I've told you for a while. Now, I've told

176
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: you I'm totally open to evidence being tossed out here

177
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: that's not public yet that could change my mind. Still

178
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: open to that. I just told you how I feel

179
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: right now. If there's evidence that I don't know about

180
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: that hasn't been presented publicly yet, that's thrown out there

181
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: that I look at and say, ooh, now that's different

182
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: than what I've seen so far, I may look back

183
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: and say, yeah, I acknowledge none of that. That entire

184
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: season's tainted for me. Now, tear down the banner and

185
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: I'm tearing it down in my memory. Well, I'm not

186
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: doing that right now. That's not how I.

187
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: Feel about it. Was that really so bad? Yet?

188
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: Was even in the live chat? I'm looking right now,

189
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: it's bad according to some of you. So a couple

190
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: of things here. As I went on to say, in

191
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: the interest of time, we're not going to play the

192
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: full show from the other night. It is public in

193
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: the archives after all, As I went on to say,

194
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: they broke the rules.

195
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: They absolutely knew what they were doing. This is my opinion.

196
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 2: By the way, this is not the NCAA's findings. They

197
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: broke the rules.

198
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: It wasn't Connor Stallions alone who knew what was happening.

199
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: To suggest otherwise is to try and convince me that

200
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: Michigan is run by a bunch of morons and they're

201
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: not so. Of course, more people than just Connor Stallions

202
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: knew what was going on there. It's illegal. They ought

203
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: to be punished for it. I just said all that.

204
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: That's not someone else's opinion. I'm telling you that's how

205
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 1: I feel about it. What I'm also telling you, just

206
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: like any of us, anytime a rule is broken in

207
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 1: any sporting event or any competitive culture, is I've got

208
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: this line of demarcation. I've got basically a threshold in

209
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: my mind beyond which I view an accomplishment as tainted.

210
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: If your mind doesn't work like that, it's okay. If

211
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: you think i'm telling you it's okay to cheat, I'm not.

212
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 1: What I'm simply telling you is Michigan won a national

213
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: title last year, and based on what I know and

214
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: what's been reported about what they are alleged to have

215
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: done so far, what's on the table does not push

216
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: beyond that threshold in my mind, so I think they

217
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: did wrong stuff and they should be punished for it,

218
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: but it will not taint that title in my mind. Then,

219
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: as you heard me say, many of you are going

220
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: to disagree with that. You're fine too, and we can

221
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: agree to disagree. But I would say this, as me

222
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: Ma used to always tell me. She would say, Joshua,

223
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: ninety percent of debates in sports would be solved and

224
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: silenced if you just switched the logo. And me Ma

225
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: was right as she always was. And that's the case

226
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: here because if I did nothing more then take this

227
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: story and pluck it from ann Arbor, Michigan and drop

228
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: it into Columbus, Ohio, everybody's feelings would invert.

229
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: Ohio State.

230
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: Folks would be making the same argument my Michigan folks

231
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: are making right now. And don't be told you sowing

232
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: to me out of ann Arbor, because you know good

233
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: and well you'd go full torch and pitchfork mode on

234
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 1: Ohio State. So that's really all a lot of this

235
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: is now. Notice I said ninety percent because there is

236
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: a ten percent group over here. It really is about

237
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: character and integrity and letter of the law. I salute you,

238
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: I got full respect for you. Got no problem with you.

239
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: So if you think that because rules were broken here,

240
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: everything's tainted or everything deserves to be stripped, and it

241
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: doesn't have anything to do with your allegiance, then we

242
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: may disagree on that, but I respect it.

243
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: But I know, and you know as well as.

244
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: I know, that many of you are just yelling because

245
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: the color of the confetti and the b roll here

246
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: is maize and blue, and it's not scarlet and gray,

247
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 1: or it's not blue and white, or it's not green

248
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: and white.

249
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: You know.

250
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: I mean, if we were to do to do nothing

251
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: more than switch the color of that confetti, keep the

252
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: details the same, a lot of you would mysteriously have.

253
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 2: I have less of a problem to no problem at

254
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 2: all with this.

255
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: So I, inclosing, will say again, because some of you

256
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: caught an easter egg I was trying to drop of

257
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: sorts the other night, hold your opinion until that documentary

258
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: comes out. There may be some foolishness in that documentary.

259
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: I guarantee you there will be some foolishness in that documentary. However,

260
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: woven throughout it maybe some really interesting stuff that offers

261
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: you a much different perspective on how an NCAA investigation

262
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 1: actually operates, then standard reporting may offer you. That's all

263
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: I'll say on that front. I have a report in

264
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: my hand. Now, this is unconfirmed. This is an unconfirmed report,

265
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with Michigan. Maybe it'll have something

266
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: to do with Michigan, because this report, unconfirmed, could take

267
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: us to Michigan. And that unconfirmed report that I had

268
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: just handed to me before we went on the air

269
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: is the twenty twenty four tour name will be revealed

270
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: within the next week. I heard the gasps from the

271
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: control room. I didn't even tell Jesse and Colin that

272
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: was coming. They could have prepared a slider for it.

273
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: And I have to ball this up and throw it

274
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: away because it said the message will self destruct. A'll

275
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: lot inspector gadget in a few minutes. So yeah, sometime

276
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: within the next week, twenty twenty four tour name will

277
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: be announced. I know what it is. I'm very happy

278
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: with it. I've got my usual focus group out there.

279
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: You know, Jenny Dell ended up deciding this for me.

280
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: I was we were in the same spot last week.

281
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: She said, what's the tour name going to be?

282
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 2: Let me know. I let her know. Two finalists and Jennifer.

283
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,359
Speaker 2: To her credit, she said, forget.

284
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: The other one. No, no, that one, the first one.

285
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: That's the one you go with, and that's the one

286
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: we're going to go with. So if it sucks, blame

287
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: Jenny Dell. Next up, got tons of fall camp intil here, Okay,

288
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: so much so that we're going probably five deep on

289
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: this instead of just usual four teams that we do

290
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: at Notre Dame.

291
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 2: Right now.

292
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: The latest intel we're getting is, of course, firstly, at

293
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: a major injury the other day, so they lost the

294
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: left tackle for the season.

295
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: Huge blow.

296
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: That's a big blow for anyone, but especially at Notre

297
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: Dame because they were already replacing two offensive tackles that

298
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: departed for the NFL, and now this they were already

299
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: probably looking at starting a couple of sophomores. They felt

300
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: good about Jagasaw though six seven, three point thirty, not

301
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: a ton of experience, but he was a top fifty

302
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: prospect a couple of cycles ago, number eight overall offensive tackle. Well,

303
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: he's done for the year, okay, So Toash Baker is

304
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: the next name to know.

305
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: He's a grad student.

306
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: He's kind of a swing player, and so he'll probably

307
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: shift out there to that tackle spot. He lost a

308
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: spot last year, so at best they're not going to

309
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: count on guys to start that previously had lost a spot. Now,

310
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: if he locked it down and played solid, FI wouldn't

311
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: be the first time in the world we saw that happen.

312
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 2: However, what do we know.

313
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: We know the calendar says August sixth, right now, that

314
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: means you got three more weeks of practice before you

315
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: play your first game. Then you got twelve of those.

316
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: You gotta stay healthy. They got to totally thread the

317
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: needle health wise here. That affects the way you practice

318
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: and prepare, whether anyone wants to admit it or not.

319
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: And secondly, think about week one they're over under win

320
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: totals ten and a half, but that week one game

321
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: they are on the road in College station. So I

322
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: want you to picture taking a couple of uncertainties at

323
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: tackle into Kyle Field one hundred thousand plus full throat,

324
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: You got Nick Scourton on the edge, and how hmm

325
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: undesirable that could be. Now that's a negative. It's not

326
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: all negative with Notre Dame. One thing other than that

327
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: I am watching is corner depth. Ben Morrison's legit. Ben

328
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: Morrison's a really good football player for them. The team

329
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: and some of the intel we're getting is not more

330
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: past him. Corner depth something they really need to develop,

331
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: especially when they face teams they can get him into

332
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: Debase Nickel looks and Dime looks and teams that have

333
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: that kind of depth to spread them out a little

334
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: bit and test their second, third, fourth corners. Those are

335
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: the teams that could give Notre Dame some issues. Now,

336
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: there is very good information that we're getting on the

337
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: wide receivers up there. Chris Mitchell is a transfer from FIU.

338
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: He was a thousand plus yard guy last year. Very

339
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: good player. And I'll tell you another thing that we

340
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: got told. When's the last time we said this about

341
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Seven or eight guys they feel good about.

342
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: They feel they can play winning football with as pass catchers.

343
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: That's normally not what we're staying this time of year.

344
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: So we got trouble at tackle, We've got some question

345
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: at corner depth.

346
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 2: It's depth in the secondary in general. Receiver looks really good.

347
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: Riley Leonard transferred in there at quarterback, So maybe Notre

348
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: Dame finds ways to win games by scoring a little

349
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: bit more than Notre Dame normally would. So that's what

350
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: we got out of South Bend. Next up in Austin,

351
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: talk to some folks around Texas. So Colin, I know

352
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: we're going to clip this individually, So if you're listening live,

353
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: ignore that it sounds like I'm about to repeat myself.

354
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 2: I'm doing this for director.

355
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: Colin got some good intel out of Texas over the

356
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: past couple of days. My stance on them, with all

357
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: these receivers and tight ends they had to replace, has

358
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: been trust but verify. I trust that they got a

359
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: lot of talent there, but I also trust that they

360
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: lost a lot and so a lot of times when

361
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: you just think you're going to plug and play in

362
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: this game, it doesn't work that way, especially when you're

363
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: losing a whole bunch of guys who ended up being

364
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: really good draft picks. So at Texas got no doubt

365
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: they added good players, but I need to see it

366
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: pan out. Okay, well that's me not being at practice.

367
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,239
Speaker 1: Then you talk to people who have seen practice, and

368
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: the returns that we're getting are very very very positive.

369
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: They're insane lie deep at receiver. They have not very

370
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: much concern about the depth and another word there is

371
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: versatility because a lot of these guys are interchangeable, and

372
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: if that's the case, we'll see it really really early.

373
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: They're loaded really good vibe at receiver, so I have

374
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: my concerns kind of alleviated on that front. Silas Bolden

375
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: was a kid they got from Oregon State five eight

376
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: one sixty.

377
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 2: They can move him all over the place.

378
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: And the common feedback again is not just oh, we

379
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: got Isaiah Bond or we got Nye Black at tight

380
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: end and we got Silas Bolden. It's not just that

381
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: we got these guys, it's we've got these guys, and

382
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: many of them are interchangeable. Many of them we can

383
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: move around and one can do what the other can do,

384
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: and vice versas. So that's an ideal situation for a

385
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: Steve Sarkisian offense, or really any offense. So that's one

386
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: emphatic piece of feedback that I've gotten. The second win

387
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 1: is something we hear a lot this time of year.

388
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: Quinn Eewers has taken on the added leadership role which

389
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: goes in one ear and out the other, because again,

390
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: you hear that a lot. When's the last time I

391
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: ever came on this show, and I said, I'm hearing

392
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: that University Ex's quarterback has really neglected the leadership role.

393
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: No one ever says that in August. I don't even

394
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: hear that in August off the record. Actually we do sometimes,

395
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: but it's very rare. So quinn Ewers, it's important. If

396
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: he's done that, it's very important because if you're looking

397
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: at the intangibles.

398
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 2: We had Craig Bowl.

399
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: I sat down on a panel with him, former head

400
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: coach at North Dakota State and Wyoming, and he was

401
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: talking about Josh Allen and how he had Josh Allen

402
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: once upon a time and he's raw. He's got the

403
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: physical tools, but he's raw. And he talked about how

404
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: you bridge the gap from just having the physical tools

405
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: to having the intangibles. And he talked about how it's

406
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: a lot more art than science. It's not an apples

407
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: to apples comparison. But that's kind of what you're trying

408
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: to do with quinn Ewers In Austin now, Anthony Hill Junior,

409
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: don't have much doubt about him. The only doubt about

410
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: him is how good is he going to be this year?

411
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: There are working him a lot at middle linebacker and

412
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: He was second on that team in tackles last year

413
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: as a situational edge rusher, so six three two thirty five.

414
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: Moving him inside a little bit more. It reeks of

415
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: the kind of headline we were talking about with Harold Perkins,

416
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: except I expect much better returns this year from Hill

417
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: than I did last year with Perkins, and you probably

418
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: don't lose a ton at edge when you do this

419
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: with him. Trey More transferred in again from UTSA big

420
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: time addition because it allows you to do stuff like this.

421
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: Ethan Burk's there, Baron Sourrell's there. So stack talent. When

422
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: you stack talent, that's when you can do things like

423
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: Bama's done in the past, like George's done in the past,

424
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: where you lose a lot of players, but then magically

425
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: we turn on their game in week one or two

426
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: or three, and you say, it looks the same, different

427
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: numbers on the backs of these jerseys, but the product

428
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: looks the same. Texas is not there yet. Texas has

429
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: not achieved that level of blind trust that they'll just

430
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:05,239
Speaker 1: seamlessly reload. But this is how you get to that

431
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: kind of place. Tennessee bad news out of Tennessee. The

432
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: other day, Jordan Thomas done for the year. That was

433
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: their starting nickel star position. Kind of a hybrid for them.

434
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: dB was already going to be a big question on

435
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: this team. They were replacing basically every starter back there,

436
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: and this was a guy that they thought they could

437
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: depend on. He's done, So they're going to have to

438
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: either juggle that rotation or they're going to have to

439
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: start multiple underclassmen. And that's what fall camp's for. Obviously,

440
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: it's still got three weeks of it, but that's the

441
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: bad news. And I don't think in any world people

442
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: expect the Tennessee to have some top ten passing defense,

443
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: but they do expect potentially Tennessee to be able to

444
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: score and score in bunches. This just means they may

445
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: have to instead of choose to Nikoy and Maliava pushing

446
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: the ball down the field really well in fall camp.

447
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: I know they put out a lot of clips of it,

448
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: but that's been pretty consistent from what we've been told

449
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: in practice. Offensive line feels good with this team. And

450
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: so when you go back and you think about spring

451
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: football and you think about questions we had, then theoretically

452
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: a lot of the questions you have in spring should

453
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,479
Speaker 1: still exist in fall because they haven't played a football

454
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: game yet.

455
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 2: But as you get.

456
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: More work with the guys you're going to go to

457
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: war with in the fall, your staff starts to learn things.

458
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: If you've got half decent sourcing, you can talk to

459
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: people who can feed you information that, hey, we like

460
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: where we are here now, we still don't like where

461
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: we are there now. The one thing that I think

462
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: in a lot of the preview magazines that's a big

463
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: question with Tennessee at is offensive line. And I've told

464
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: you several times now they're not terrified. They're not keeping

465
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: themselves up at night about their situation on O line.

466
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: They think they'll be okay there. But the other thing

467
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 1: that they're really emphatic about, and we saw it when

468
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: I was over there in the spring, is the size

469
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: and the speed and the just overall physicality of this team.

470
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: Looks like a college football playoff team, That's all I'm saying.

471
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: Looks like one that means nothing more than it means.

472
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: But in the past, we'll look at these preview magazine

473
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: ranking college football playoff odds type lists, and you know,

474
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: I'll be around at a lot of campuses and I

475
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: know what Ohio State looks like, I know what Clemson

476
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: looks like, I know what Bama Georgia looks like. Then

477
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: you may go to Tennessee and you may say they

478
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: don't look like them. Well they haven't. Could still compete,

479
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 1: but just you don't have the same caliber of athlete

480
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: those other guys do. Tennessee, I would say this is

481
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: the first time in a long time where the caliber

482
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: of their athlete doesn't really look like it takes a

483
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: back seat. Now that's not on par quite yet, but

484
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: it's not taking some distant back seat.

485
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 2: So that's good news. Now, that's not how you win

486
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 2: football games.

487
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: You win football games execution, situational awareness and whatnot. And

488
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: you can have the biggest, baddest dudes in the country.

489
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: If you got the one hundred and twentieth best pass

490
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: defense in the country, you're probably not gonna achieve it

491
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: up college football playoff level. So we're going to keep

492
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: an eye on that Clemson. I love where Clemson is

493
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: headed at wide receiver. I'm so excited. I'm gonna paper pop.

494
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it again because I've been waiting years

495
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: to say this.

496
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 2: Pretend this is an All Caps Caps luck.

497
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: I love where Clemson is headed at wide receiver. So

498
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: if you go back and watch the Clemson spring game,

499
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: Bryant Westco kind of put on a show. And he's

500
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 1: a true freshman six two two. He is not that

501
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: big bodied, lethargic looking, can't create separation type receiver that frankly,

502
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: Clemson has played with for several years now. It's a

503
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: far cry from where they had been in their mid

504
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: to late twenty teens runs. Well, I'm not saying that

505
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: we have reincarnations of those guys quite yet, but Bryant

506
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: Westco is a different kind of player. You knew it

507
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: as soon as he stepped on campus in the spring.

508
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: Daboswiny was not bashful about talking about it boom, So

509
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: that's not changed. Then Teach More gets on campus six

510
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: eight and look, Westco at one eight two is twenty

511
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: pounds heavier than he wasn't spring, So he's put on

512
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: a lot of size. He had to because they're gonna

513
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: need him this year.

514
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 2: TJ.

515
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: Moore steps on campus later UH sixty three one ninety

516
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: eight and from bell one when he's been in fall camp.

517
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: It's the the returns we get, like Austin Hannen over

518
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: it comes in twenty four to seven, doing a really

519
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: good job of documenting this for the public. Check Mark,

520
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: check mark, check mark. They love him everything that they

521
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: thought he was, everything they hoped he'd be.

522
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 2: He is.

523
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: They expect, and this is not shocking. They expect a

524
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: big bump in production from k Klubnick as a result

525
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: of that, the year one to year two progression under

526
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: Garrett Riley's offense. They now expect, because of those pieces,

527
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: to be a massive upgrade in production. Jake Brinningstool is

528
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: it tied end there? Phil Maffa back at running back.

529
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: They like where they are enough at offensive line. It's

530
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: still a competent going on at the center position, but

531
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: overall they feel like they'll be worlds better. Don't turn

532
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: the ball over, of course, would be a nice added

533
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 1: bonus there. But the other thing about Clemson, You've known

534
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: for a long time Clemson as a team you can

535
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: count on to have big bodies up front that are athletic.

536
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: Peter Woods three twenty playing edge is that Peter Woods

537
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: would fit right in with those twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen,

538
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen Clemson defensive lines.

539
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 2: And I know how good they were.

540
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: Woods could come in and probably take someone's spot on

541
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 1: one of those lines. You're talking about three twenty on

542
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: the edge and moving like anything but a three hundred

543
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: and twenty pound defensive end slash edge player.

544
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 2: Avion Terrell also at corner.

545
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: Excellent, excellent future NFL guy, just like other people in

546
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: that blood line with that last name. So Clemson again, explosivity,

547
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: ability to separate yards after catch, all all that stuff

548
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: they used to be mainstays at doing and haven't been doing.

549
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a couple of true freshmen that light that

550
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 1: fire again. They played Georgia week one, they got NC

551
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: State week three, they got Florida State week five, so

552
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: out of the gate they got to be hot. There

553
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: is no time for this offense to settle in to

554
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: itself because if you do that, you maybe two and

555
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: three come October twelfth. Lastly, I didn't want to touch

556
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: for just a second on Wisconsin. So you know, Tyler

557
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: van Dyke transferred up there from Miami, and it sounded

558
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 1: for a second like it was him versus Braden Lot

559
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: for that quarterback position.

560
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 2: I never really bought it. I don't still.

561
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 1: It feels like he's separating and taking that job limiting

562
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: turnovers again.

563
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 2: That was what.

564
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: Plagued him last year, very schizophrenic, and so if you

565
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: limit that, we've seen him play good ball before, maybe

566
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: he does it again. Smoother offense this year. Phil Longo

567
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: year two kind of like Garrett Riley at Clemson. Phil

568
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: Longo comes in year one at Wisconsin and it was

569
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: anything but what they expected. So maybe you get a

570
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: smoother year two out of him. Lots of true freshmen

571
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: and that too deep gotta be. It's fickles, guys. A

572
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: lot of true freshmen there who can't been Tell man,

573
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: you got to take a swig from the nondescript water

574
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: jug after that, and then I'm going to tell you

575
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: about one of my best friends, which of course is

576
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors.

577
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 2: So Academy this time of year.

578
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: We've got back to sports, we've got back to school

579
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: on our minds. Every one of you virtually is going

580
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: to deal with this, and if you don't, you just

581
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,479
Speaker 1: need random gear. Some of you are campers, cool, some

582
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: of you are bikers that's great. Some of you wear

583
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: clothes during the day. Yeah, they've got all that. At

584
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors, they've got you covered if you

585
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: don't have an Academy in your backyard. Academy dot com

586
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,239
Speaker 1: they make this show free. They have been there with

587
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: us almost from the first moment we started this show.

588
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: They believed in the vision early on. It's really import

589
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: to us because now a lot of people believe in

590
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: a lot of people want to advertise on the show.

591
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: We slammed the door on a lot of folks candidly

592
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: because I don't want to load the show up with that.

593
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: But we always got a place for Academy because they've

594
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: always had a place for us, and they are the

595
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: place for you. And they didn't write that for me.

596
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: But that's not a really good so Colin bottle that

597
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: one up. We may just play that as an ad

598
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: placement of our own in the future Academy dot com though,

599
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: if you can't get there in person, Academy Sports and

600
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: outdoors in Academy dot com. We've been predicting individual teams records.

601
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: A couple of couple of weeks ago. We did our

602
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: playoff predictions tentatively, and I did my initial JP poll

603
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: again tentatively, but I figured, why don't we do individual

604
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: teams because a lot of you were just asking Okay,

605
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: what do you specifically think about.

606
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 2: This team and that team?

607
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, we have an entire show every

608
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: forty eight or so hours that we can do this on,

609
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: so let's talk about this our Georgia, well not our Georgia.

610
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: I will own this official prediction for this year. Here's

611
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: what you need to know before I tell you what

612
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: I think. The over underwent totals ten and a half FanDuel.

613
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: Right now, they got the best odds in the SEC

614
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: to win the conference. They've got the best odds in

615
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: the country to win the national championship. They are seeking

616
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: their fourth straight undefeated season. And as we dive into this,

617
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: here's another paper popper of a stat. This is kind

618
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: of a padlock stat. If you think about it, Saturday,

619
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: November seventh, twenty twenty, where were you probably locked up

620
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: in your house wearing a mask, But more specifically, what

621
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: happened that day?

622
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 2: Anyone? Anyone?

623
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: Georgia lost a football game that day, I believe to Florida.

624
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: The reason that date is important is because that is

625
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: the last date that Georgia lost a football game to

626
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: someone other than Alabama. If not for Bama, Georgia has

627
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: not lost a football game since November seventh of twenty twenty.

628
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: So what do we think we know here? I think

629
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: I know this will be a top five offense. It

630
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: was last year. It's not like they need to improve

631
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: at all running back. If you look at the positions

632
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: across the board, Carson Beack came back huge deal, obviously,

633
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: running back, offensive line, wide receiver as good or better

634
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: than they were last year. It's fair to expect that

635
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: tight end loses brock Bowers and yet it's still one

636
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: of the best tight end rooms in the country. Let

637
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: me say that again, they lost brock Bowers and still

638
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: have one of the best tight end rooms in the country.

639
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: That's called recruiting and developing. Mainly recruiting though, but a

640
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: healthy amount of development there as well. And I also

641
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: think I know they got two first rounders at least

642
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: over on defense, and mikel Williams and Malachi Starks, and

643
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: there will be others, but those are two that you

644
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: can pretty much take to the bank. And the third

645
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: thing I think I know about Georgia is even having

646
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: said all that, this won't be easy, this won't be easy.

647
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: Every year people get amnesia this time of year folks

648
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: get amnesia, and you just bristle at the mere idea

649
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: that the number one team in the country could lose

650
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: a football game or someone could pick against the number

651
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: one team in the country to win at all.

652
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 2: Well, do you watch this game? Do you watch this sport?

653
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 2: This stuff happens every year.

654
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: This team right here would have been favored to win

655
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: the national title last year, even after they lost in Atlanta.

656
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: But they didn't get a shot because it's hard to

657
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,959
Speaker 1: win this sport, even when you load these classes up

658
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: like Kirby Smart does, even when you're favored why to wire,

659
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: It's hard, and it will be this year as well.

660
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: Now here's what I want to know. I want to

661
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: know how good they are upfront on defense. If there's

662
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: one request that I get more than any request about

663
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: the show, I got it like fifty times today because

664
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: I talked to a lot of personnel types today. It

665
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: is please talk poorly about us, Please don't be hyping

666
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: us up, Please don't be feeding us rat poison. So

667
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: I happen to know several players on that defense watch

668
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: the show.

669
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna do you a favor.

670
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: I don't really fully believe all of this, but I

671
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: will say, maybe George is just pretty good upfront. Maybe

672
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: that's it. Maybe they're not elite. Maybe they don't have

673
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: that vintage Georgia flavor there. Maybe I can convert third

674
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: and three on them with regularity. Maybe they can't get

675
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: home against the quarterback regularly enough.

676
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 2: Maybe it's not quite Georgia of the past. Upfront? Was

677
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 2: that good? Guys? Was that good? You know who I'm

678
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 2: talking to over there? All right?

679
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: Hey, man, George is still gonna be pretty good upfront.

680
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: But I do mean what I say when I do

681
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: wonder how good will they be there? Because there's a

682
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: difference between that Georgia elite standard versus pretty to really good,

683
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: And the difference is getting home one or two more

684
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: times per game against quarterback, forcing one more turnover or

685
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: two more turnovers that could.

686
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 2: Define a season for you. So you know it's not

687
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 2: a game.

688
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: Well it is a game, but it's not something to

689
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: be played with next the corner depth behind Dalan Everett.

690
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: It's interesting first world problem, you know, because Georgia, when

691
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: you talk about green players, you talk about unproven players. Man,

692
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Julian Humphrey, like Ellis Robinson just freak

693
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 1: show players that don't have a ton of starting experience.

694
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: But when you go look at you know, like practice

695
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: b roll or if you get to go.

696
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 2: To practice, you watch these dudes.

697
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: You're just standing there and you're saying, who is that?

698
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: And that's that's just Ellis Robinson. Oh oh oh, the

699
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: elite freshman. Ye, yeah, that's him. He looks like the

700
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 1: seniors look on some of the teams George is gonna play.

701
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: You actually know their seniors don't even look that good. So, yes,

702
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: this is a question behind Dalan Everett. You know, Dan

703
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: Jackson's got six stars. I think they worked him at safety.

704
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 2: Some this week.

705
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: Daniel Harris, Julian Humphrey, Ellis Robinson. Yes, technically I still

706
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: have to say see the production. Yes, technically it's not there.

707
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: These are good football players, well, these are players who

708
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 1: have elite skill and they'll probably be good football players

709
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: for Georgia this year. But can they pressure the quarterback?

710
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: This was an issue for them last year. When we

711
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: talked to Kirby in February, we went down there, did

712
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: a whole show at Georgia, had him on the show

713
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: for thirty minutes. He said that was one of his

714
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: biggest concerns. Can we get after the quarterback enough this year.

715
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: I know some of you think it's stupid to talk

716
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: about sacks. I've gone full circle on the stat I

717
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 1: know that sacks are not the end all be all.

718
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 1: I actually know if I pressure the quarterback and don't

719
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: sack him, but my pressure forced an interception that goes

720
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,760
Speaker 1: back to the house, that's actually better than a sack.

721
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: I know all that, guys, but I think people have

722
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: overthought the room on this. There's never been a sack

723
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 1: in the history of football where the offense got positive yardage.

724
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: There's never been a sack that was a good thing

725
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: for the offense. So I've gone full circle. I'm actually

726
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: about to start throwing back in people's face as immunity

727
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: of the highest order on that line. But sacks, you know,

728
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: new rual sacks. Sacks are cool again. Georgia was forty

729
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 1: seventh in the country in sacks last year. This is

730
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: the whole reason behind that spiel. So I could just

731
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 1: throw that stat at you, mikel I think had four

732
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: point five sacks and led the team. So, whether you

733
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: want to talk about havoc, great quarterback pressures, quarterback hurries

734
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: outright sacks. Georgia wasn't quite Georgia last year in that category.

735
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: I know they've worked on it at nauseum. Will they

736
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: be much better there? Here's the staff breakdown. We got

737
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:37,320
Speaker 1: every coach, coordinator, assistant coach graded in the entire country.

738
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 1: Georgia's got the number one head coach in the country.

739
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: George's got a top five staff as we see it

740
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: right now in the country. This defensive support staff beneath

741
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: the coordinator level, in other words, is top fifteen. That

742
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: offensive support staff lost some guys. It's really hard to

743
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,399
Speaker 1: retain when you're an elite staff, you know, like Dell

744
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: McGee's not there anymore. For example, we still got that

745
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: offensive support staff top thirty, maybe down a tick from

746
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: what we've seen in the past At Georgia. Kirby smart

747
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: how about this? So we've got him as the top

748
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,240
Speaker 1: active head coach. Also, we've got him as the highest

749
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: graded defensive coordinator of the last fifteen years.

750
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 2: So another word for.

751
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: That is stud But I wanted to put an actual

752
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: numeric grade on it. There's no real weakness here, it's

753
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 1: just relatively speaking. You know, that offensive support staff may

754
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: be down a touch in overall grade quality. The schedule

755
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 1: is extremely tough for Georgia this year. Georgia's hung out

756
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: in the SEC East for a long time. This is

757
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 1: this is not the SEC East anymore. I've got them

758
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 1: playing six of my top twenty one teams preseason power

759
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: rating wise. I've got them playing six of my top

760
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 1: twenty one teams, and they play five of them away

761
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 1: from home. A couple of those are neutral site games,

762
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: but five or six of those are away from Athens.

763
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: They got at Texas, they got at Bama, they got

764
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: at Ole Miss they Tennessee at home, they go too,

765
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: can touch Ucky. We've got Kentucky, I think twenty six

766
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: and the JP Pole. I'm not even mentioning that at

767
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: Kentucky would be some of you guys' toughest games. And

768
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: so the cumulative effect that this can have is to

769
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: the degree that I don't think there's a whole lot

770
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 1: of skill in looking at a schedule and mapping out

771
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 1: your wins and losses. I'll give you a record prediction

772
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: in a second, but I don't give you the specific

773
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: games that I think you'll win or lose. It's fun.

774
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a lot of skill in it.

775
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,240
Speaker 1: But that's a tough schedule. It will test your depth.

776
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: That's what it will do. The best case and worst

777
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: case for Georgia this year. There's always a best case

778
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: scenario of twelve to zero as long as Kirby smarts

779
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: at Georgia. However, the worst case for them, considering the schedule,

780
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 1: has to be a little bit more extreme than you'd

781
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: normally expect it to be with Georgia. So I got

782
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: their worst case at eight and four. How would that happen?

783
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: A quarterback injury combined with this It's pretty basic. Worst

784
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: case for everyone is just a bunch of injury. You

785
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 1: lose your tough games. Georgia plays a lot of tough games.

786
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: What I think they'll do this is going to be controversial.

787
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: I've got them going ten and two right now as

788
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: we sit here in early August. I think there may

789
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: be two losses on that schedule. That still makes them

790
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: a playoff team. But if you want to know how

791
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: Georgia can be favored in the SEC, I've got Empower

792
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: rated number one. I think Georgia enters the season as

793
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 1: the best team in the country. I think this schedule

794
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: is tough enough that the best team in the country

795
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: could stand to lose two games, which sounds counterintuitive. It's

796
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: not Schedule is not equal. Record is not equal. Therefore,

797
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,919
Speaker 1: in college football, So ten and two for the number

798
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: one team in the country.

799
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 2: Is that possible? It is possible.

800
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: It's also possible that if Georgia makes the playoff with

801
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: a ten and two record, they may still be a

802
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,280
Speaker 1: point spread favorite against anyone they play. There's a world

803
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: where that's possible. I had a fun couple of days here.

804
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: We've been in Nashville because I live here, but we've

805
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: been in Nashville as has the Personnel and Recruiting Symposium.

806
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 2: This event's huge.

807
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,240
Speaker 1: Now we had I think between six and seven hundred

808
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 1: it's just recruiting staffers. Personnel staffers had I think almost

809
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: every NFL team represented here. A ton of people from

810
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 1: the agency world, a ton of people from the tech world.

811
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. It was over at the Renaissance in downtown Nashville.

812
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: I did a panel yesterday. I did a discussion with

813
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 1: Craig Bole who was at North Dakota State, won titles there.

814
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: He went to Wyoming now he's the executive director of

815
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: the AFCA. I mean they were instrumental in getting a

816
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 1: lot of these rules passed. It just got passed. And

817
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: awesome conversation. I'd never met coach before. Awesome conversation. I

818
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,720
Speaker 1: can't show it to you because it's off record stuff.

819
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,240
Speaker 1: Everyone has to put their phones in a bucket and whatnot,

820
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: but really good stuff, awesome feedback. The reason I'm telling

821
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: you this because I want you to know by the

822
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: dozens and dozens we hear. I talk to staffers all

823
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: the time, but oftentimes it's not in person. So this

824
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: is the chance to interact with a lot of coaches

825
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: and a lot of personnel types in person and by

826
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 1: the dozens. Safely, by the dozens, I would say, the

827
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 1: feedback we get on the show is such a testament

828
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 1: to what you guys have helped us build. We try

829
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: to advocate for this game. Okay, first and foremost, we're

830
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: just gonna throw on a white T shirt. I'm gonna

831
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: do the show, and we're gonna advocate for college football

832
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: because I grew up loving college football. This is not

833
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 1: a bridge for me to get somewhere else. I don't

834
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: do like some folks in our industry and want to

835
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: cover politics, but I can't quite get there at the outset.

836
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 1: So I just use sports as a springboard to hopefully

837
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: get there.

838
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 2: No, this is it, man, college football. Is it.

839
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 1: Love the game, need it to continue to be as

840
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: strong as it's ever been. The folks in that building

841
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: over the past couple of days are instrumental in that,

842
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: and they give us great feedback. A lot of the

843
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: opinions we have on this show are born out of

844
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: information that we get from them. We haven't burned a

845
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: single one yet and we never will. But the trust

846
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:15,720
Speaker 1: that we have with a lot of these coaching staffs

847
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: could not be possible if you didn't give us a

848
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: big enough platform to make the show noticed.

849
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,760
Speaker 2: Okay, we got the most watched.

850
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: And listened to college football show in this entire space,

851
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: podcast and digital.

852
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 2: So you guys did that.

853
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: So then the effect of that is everybody in the

854
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: coaching world, everybody in the personnel and recruiting world, sees it.

855
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: And then you get doors open for you that you

856
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: never would have gotten opened when you're working down in Columbus.

857
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 2: Georgia a few years ago.

858
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: So I wanted to tell you guys that because you

859
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: would not have otherwise seen that. So that's a direct

860
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: testament to you, and then to the folks I couldn't

861
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: talk to over at that symposium. Thank you, guys. Dms

862
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: are always open, feel free to reach out, want to

863
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: advocate for the game. That's what we want to do,

864
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: and fortunately now we're in a position where we can

865
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 1: do it.

866
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 2: Let's talk about some what ifs.

867
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 1: Let's straight, got a lot of show to go, a

868
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: lot of show to go, so so stay buckled up.

869
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 2: Here's a what if for you.

870
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: What if a former sleeping giant or I guess a

871
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: current sleeping giant in college football awakens this year?

872
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 2: Hoops? Would that be? I think Virginia Tech counts now.

873
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: Kids, kids, Some of you, some of you in my

874
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: college age audience, are laughing right now, but you shouldn't be.

875
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 2: You don't know what you don't know.

876
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 1: You don't know about Virginia Tech the national championship contender,

877
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: but Virginia Tech used to be a national championship contender.

878
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 2: You don't know about.

879
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: An entire generation, including me who grew up not Virginia

880
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: Tech fans. But when we knew there was going to

881
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: be like a Thursday night game in Blacksburg or even

882
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: a Saturday night game in Blacksburg, didn't matter who you

883
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: rooted for, you would make sure you tuned in, and

884
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: you make sure you tune in ten minutes before the

885
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,879
Speaker 1: game starts, because you get to see inner sand Man

886
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: and you get to see this incredible spectacle up in

887
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 1: the mountains, up in the hills of Virginia.

888
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:09,280
Speaker 2: It's awesome.

889
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 1: We haven't seen that as a national spectacle for a while.

890
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 1: What if they wake up They've got a shot this year.

891
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 1: They've got a shot. They got a workable schedule, They've

892
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: got a team that's totally in touch with its identity.

893
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 1: They could have a high level run game with Kyriene

894
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 1: Drones at quarterback. Contributing to that. I was up there

895
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: the spring, sat down with Brent Prie, really excited up there, Colin.

896
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: If you've got their schedule, can you throw that up

897
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,399
Speaker 1: for just a second, because there is a game. It's

898
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: a long way away, so I'm not saying let's start

899
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: talking about it now, but there's a game in early

900
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: November where if they navigate the early portion of their schedule,

901
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: even if they just have one loss, they can afford

902
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: to drop one. But if they're a one loss or

903
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 1: better team in early November, that's when Clemson comes to town.

904
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: November ninth, Clemson comes to town. If we have a

905
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 1: one loss or better Virginia Tech on that day or night,

906
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 1: you will see Lane Stadium, like some of us remember

907
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 1: it being maybe a generation ago. Texas A and M

908
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: could be another sleeping giant. Now I'd argue A and

909
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: M's not been a giant because A and M. We

910
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: have not known A and M as a consistent national

911
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: championship contender in my lifetime. Most of your lifetimes you

912
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: hadn't known that. However, they've been a sleeping giant in

913
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 1: a sense that they've always been capable of it. And

914
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: that's been this whole debate on this show. One of

915
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: the longest running debates in Pate state history has been

916
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: Texas A and M. Do they have what it takes

917
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: to win? Just because they haven't won, could they win?

918
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: My answer is, of course they could. Just because you

919
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,399
Speaker 1: haven't done something doesn't mean you couldn't do something. They

920
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: got the right head coach, Mike Elko is the right

921
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: guy at least I feel that now, power ratings wise.

922
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 1: It's interesting because you would think hire the right guy. Okay,

923
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: a couple of years from now, we'll check back. Yeah, no,

924
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: they could win this year would be sort of tough,

925
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,919
Speaker 1: but power ratings wise, I got him as a top

926
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 1: fifteen team, so it's not out of the roma possibility

927
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 1: that a little organizational structure thrown into the mix with

928
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: some really good football players could yield a result. But

929
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: even if it's not this year, just imagine it happening

930
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: period Nebraska, Nebraska. A lot of folks flat out think

931
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: it can't happen there at a and m at least

932
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: they can recruit the South. A lot of folks think

933
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 1: Nebraska know your time is passed. What if they're wrong?

934
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: What if Matt Rule takes Dylan Rayola and he just

935
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: hitches his wagon to that true freshman five star quarterback

936
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:45,240
Speaker 1: and things start to happen.

937
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:46,839
Speaker 2: Hey, here's a good what if.

938
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 1: Just imagine what if Nebraska is like five to oh

939
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: in one possession games this year? That alone would blow

940
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: people's minds. So that's a good what if.

941
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:56,240
Speaker 2: Another?

942
00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:00,479
Speaker 1: What if Week one lot of potential volatility and game

943
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: you know, LSU plays USC in Las Vegas week one

944
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,760
Speaker 1: on a Sunday night. What if that game's a blowout?

945
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 1: I don't care who wins. What if it's a blowout

946
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,439
Speaker 1: either way. What if one of these teams wins by

947
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: twenty plus. You don't think that's possible, It's highly possible

948
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: because the nature of these two teams, there's so many

949
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 1: question marks. Anytime you got big, glaring question marks around

950
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 1: these kinds of teams. But they got good offensive weapons.

951
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 1: There is a chance that this happens with LSU. We

952
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:38,399
Speaker 1: talked about this the other day. Great offensive line. They

953
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 1: feel really good about their tailbacks. So let's say LSU's

954
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: DB's are pretty good, okay to pretty good to where

955
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:50,320
Speaker 1: USC can't torch them. They would have a massive matchup

956
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 1: advantage against Southern Cal. They just lean on them with

957
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,840
Speaker 1: the ground game, and it could be really ugly for USC.

958
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: Now there's another side of that coin. What if USC

959
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 1: just torches LSU secondary. What if LSU can afford to

960
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: run the ball because they're playing catch up, and even

961
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 1: if Kyraen Lacy's good, what if we kind of get

962
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: to the third quarter and we realize, man, LSU, these

963
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: are big shoes to fill, these pass catchers leaving twenty

964
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,879
Speaker 1: seven hundred receiving yards on the table from last year.

965
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 1: My point is it would be really toxic feeling on

966
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 1: either side of the equation. You lose this thing by

967
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 1: three or seven, that's one thing. You lose that open

968
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,879
Speaker 1: or by twenty plus that's an entirely different thing. And then,

969
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,839
Speaker 1: and here's a really important what if pay attention because

970
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 1: this is going to happen to many of you.

971
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 2: We've lost many a good man to this battle.

972
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 1: What if one of you is faced with a classic

973
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: Saturday conundrum. You may think I'm talking about the fall wedding. No,

974
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: the fall wedding, while evil in its inception, can be

975
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 1: seen coming from a mile away. If you're locked into

976
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: a fall wedding, you probably already know about it. Some

977
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: of you have been foolish enough to be looped into

978
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 1: October twelfth weddings. October twelfth is the biggest Saturday of

979
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: the year, and some of you have allowed yourself to

980
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:15,399
Speaker 1: be pulled into a wedding. I mean, God help you all.

981
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 2: But there are.

982
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: Other things that can happen, sneak attacks in other words.

983
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,359
Speaker 1: And I had a tweet about this the other day

984
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 1: because I ask you, guys, what are some phrases we

985
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: want to avoid in college football?

986
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 2: Now?

987
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: I was looking for things like you are what your

988
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: record says you are, etc. But you guys took it

989
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: a different direction and one of you, one of you, said,

990
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 1: here's a phrase we want to avoid. It's a bye week.

991
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:44,240
Speaker 1: I bought us tickets to the pumpkin patch. This will

992
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: happen to some of you, and it will be dropped

993
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: in your lap Friday night or Saturday morning because your

994
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: significant other thinks that your team being on a buy

995
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 1: means everyone's on a buy. College football doesn't happen that week.

996
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: Pumpkin patch trip, impromptu pumpkin patch trip. It is a

997
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:10,800
Speaker 1: slippery slope into the depths of depression in college football season.

998
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: What if that happens? What are you gonna do? I

999
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 1: already found my out. I figured this out a long

1000
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 1: time ago. That is, get a job that requires you

1001
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: to work on Saturday covering college football. That's my first

1002
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: piece of advice. Ninety nine percent of you won't be

1003
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: able to pull that off. So you need a backup plan.

1004
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:33,359
Speaker 1: What your I'm Bruce willis in armageddon? What's your contingency plan?

1005
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 1: We don't have one.

1006
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 2: You're the US government. You're just supposed to sit around

1007
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 2: thinking stuff up. You're telling me you don't have a

1008
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 2: contingency plan. This is it.

1009
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: I gotta go to the asteroid and I gotta drill

1010
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:46,359
Speaker 1: to the center of it, drop a nuke and leave.

1011
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: And that's the hope of the entire human race. Don't

1012
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 1: be Bruce Willis and armageddon. Okay, no one has to

1013
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: die over this, but you better have a good escape

1014
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: strategy for the pumpkin patch a bomb that gets dropped

1015
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: on you. Also, I'll tell you another one. Hey, we're

1016
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: going to my parents Saturday. Remember, what are you gonna do?

1017
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 1: What do you have no control? Okay, you've got control

1018
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 1: of your Saturday? And then she drops that on you. Hey,

1019
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: we're going to my parents on Saturday. Remember, then you're

1020
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,359
Speaker 1: at the mercy of whatever your father in law wants

1021
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: to put on the TV. And if your father in

1022
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,879
Speaker 1: law's watching the Waltons Marathon, are you really gonna tell him?

1023
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 2: Hey?

1024
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 1: Man, North Carolina and Clemson are playing. No, you are not, No,

1025
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 1: you are not. So what are you gonna do? Head

1026
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 1: on a swivel. You know it's coming, Head on a swivel.

1027
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: They're watching us in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. They're watching us

1028
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Galloway, Ohio, Galveston, Texas.

1029
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 2: Appreciate you guys a lot. Let's continue to roll on.

1030
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:50,840
Speaker 1: We have the makings of an hour and twenty minute

1031
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 1: show right now, so I need to pick up the pace.

1032
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna We're gonna run some tempo here. Immunity to

1033
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:59,839
Speaker 1: the hand gesture. What's the Oregon's record gonna be this year? Well, first,

1034
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 1: if here's what you need to know, over under win

1035
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: total ten and a half really high. They've got the

1036
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: second best odds at FanDuel to win the Big Ten.

1037
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 1: They've got the third best odds to win the whole thing,

1038
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 1: to win the college football Playoff. They are recruiting like

1039
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:15,800
Speaker 1: they never have before. Just signed the number three class

1040
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: in the country, brought home I think the number two

1041
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 1: portal class in the country. So they are acquiring talent

1042
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: at a level they never have before. And they've done

1043
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:26,359
Speaker 1: it good in the past, but never quite like this.

1044
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 1: So I think I know Tez Johnson Evan Stewart at

1045
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 1: wide receiver. That's about as good a one to two

1046
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:35,720
Speaker 1: as you're gonna get at wide receiver in the country.

1047
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:36,240
Speaker 2: Now.

1048
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,760
Speaker 1: Evan Stewart still got to do it, but the talent

1049
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: is there. I think the scheme is there. I'm gonna

1050
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 1: talk more about the coordinator in a second. I think

1051
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: I know they're more than ready for the Big Ten

1052
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: style of play.

1053
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 2: I'll go a step further.

1054
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 1: I think they're ready to raise the Big Ten caliber

1055
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,959
Speaker 1: of play up front. Now that's a lot to say,

1056
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 1: but I do believe they can match and exceed the

1057
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: physicality that required to survive a season in the Big Ten.

1058
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 1: I think I know Josh Connery and Johnny Cornelius that

1059
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 1: makes up a top five offensive tackle duo in the country.

1060
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,359
Speaker 1: Blake Brockermeier does a lot of good work for us.

1061
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 1: He put out his top ten offensive lines the other day,

1062
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 1: got Oregon at number nine, and I'm looking ahead of

1063
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 1: them and Jesse correct me if I'm wrong. I don't

1064
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,920
Speaker 1: see any other Big Ten teams there. So does Oregon

1065
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: enter the Big Ten with the best offensive line in

1066
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 1: the conference? People are saying, yes, Where's what I want

1067
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: to know about Oregon is that pass defense gonna step up?

1068
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:41,399
Speaker 1: Because it hurt him against Washington last year twice. They

1069
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: need transfers to pan out in that secondary. If they

1070
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 1: do that, they'll be okay. If they don't, then you

1071
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 1: got some track meets and maybe not maybe not up

1072
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: and down the list of big ten teams they play,

1073
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 1: but eventually you're going to run into a team that

1074
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 1: can throw the ball on you. And if it's the playoffs,

1075
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: it's the playoff. If it's Week six, it's week' TiO.

1076
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 1: So that's the first thing. The second thing is on

1077
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball, Dylan Gabriel, So they

1078
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: get him at quarterback.

1079
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 2: It's big time transfer.

1080
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 1: Gabriel is going to be right up there with some

1081
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:14,879
Speaker 1: of the best odds to win the Heisman. Are they

1082
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 1: gonna get top ten quarterback play from him or top three?

1083
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: Because that could be the difference in winning a title

1084
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: versus having another really good year but the big one

1085
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: escaping you. Which leads me to my other question. Is

1086
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 1: there a signature win on this schedule? Colin, I'm gonna

1087
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 1: ask you to do something I normally don't ask you

1088
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 1: to do. I want you to throw up their schedule

1089
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 1: because we're just gonna go ahead and actually talk about

1090
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 1: schedule now. I'll talk about the staff in a second.

1091
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,799
Speaker 1: Look up and down this list. If you're listening on podcasts,

1092
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 1: you know which games would be the signature wins. Like

1093
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: Dan Landing last year had two shots at Washington. They

1094
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 1: didn't get it done. So we had a really good year.

1095
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 1: But folks looked and said he lost the big one,

1096
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:01,359
Speaker 1: he couldn't win the big one. Okay, well, this year

1097
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: they got Ohio State at home October twelfth. They go

1098
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:10,319
Speaker 1: to Michigan November two. Depending on what Michigan is this year,

1099
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 1: that one may qualify and then maybe a Big Ten

1100
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: championship game. Maybe you're in the playoff. They got the players,

1101
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 1: do they win the Big one? Or look at the

1102
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: schedule again, Now, could it be that they lose to

1103
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 1: Ohio State. They go beat Michigan, but maybe Michigan's like

1104
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 1: an eight and four team this year, and then they

1105
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 1: lose again to Ohio State in Indy. So it's like

1106
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,720
Speaker 1: last year's Washington problem. They get two shots at the Buckeyes,

1107
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,359
Speaker 1: they go zero to two, and otherwise you don't think

1108
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 1: they really beat a top ten team. They could be

1109
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 1: eleven and two, and folks are still yelling at Dan Landing,

1110
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 1: you hadn't won a big game, you hadn't won the

1111
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:48,959
Speaker 1: big win. So those are the questions I have. Now,

1112
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: the Game of the Year is October twelfth, That right

1113
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 1: there at Big Ten Game of the year, maybe college

1114
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 1: football game of the year. They get an extra day's

1115
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 1: rest on Ohio State because that Michigan State game is

1116
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 1: a Friday night for them. Also, what's the effect of

1117
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: going to Michigan and two Wisconsin in a three week

1118
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 1: stretch late in the year. Let's keep an eye on that.

1119
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 1: But if they can get to the Big Ten Championship game,

1120
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:18,319
Speaker 1: pay attention to this. If they can get there, look

1121
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 1: at the very end of their schedule. They go two Wisconsin,

1122
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:26,319
Speaker 1: there's a bye week, they get Washington at home, and

1123
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 1: then they would go to Indy. They got a really

1124
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 1: late buy. They got two buys. Everyone's got two buys

1125
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 1: this year. They got a bye week the second to

1126
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 1: last week of the season, they get Washington at home,

1127
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 1: and then they go to Indy. If they play Penn

1128
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 1: State or Ohio State in the Big Ten title game,

1129
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 1: both of those teams will have played like six games

1130
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 1: in a row. Ohio State would be coming off the

1131
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 1: Michigan game. So if Oregon can get there, there's a

1132
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 1: pretty significant buy advantage that they would have the best case.

1133
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 1: With Oregon's twelve to zero this year, their best case

1134
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 1: record absolutely twelve and oh there's a chance they end

1135
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 1: up being favored in every game they play this year,

1136
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 1: so they could be twelve and oh.

1137
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 2: The worst case, I've got them going nine and three.

1138
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: I tinkered with the idea of Oregon going twelve and

1139
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:14,399
Speaker 1: oh is my prediction. But I'm going to have them

1140
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 1: go eleven and one. JP Pole's got him rated number

1141
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: three in the preseason. I've got him going eleven and one.

1142
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 1: But really I've got him going like eleven and a

1143
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 1: half in zero point five because I very nearly went

1144
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 1: twelve and oh on them. Oh yeah, you know what,

1145
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 1: Jesse good point. I skipped the entire staff piece, so

1146
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 1: I already gave you the prediction. There a couple of

1147
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 1: things I wanted to tell you. As we have every

1148
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 1: one of these coaches graded in our internal model here,

1149
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 1: don't have a grade for Dan Lanning because we want

1150
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:44,959
Speaker 1: at least three years under your belt before we start

1151
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 1: to grade you. However, for the purposes of this segment,

1152
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 1: I can plug him in. So like if I were

1153
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: to plug what we currently have on Dan Lanning the

1154
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 1: head coach, into the model, he would kind of slot

1155
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:02,920
Speaker 1: him so off between like Mike Elko and Rhett Lashly

1156
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 1: in terms of a grade it's not apples to apples,

1157
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 1: cause those guys have been around will Elcho maybe not

1158
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 1: so much. But like the point is, it's early, so

1159
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: we want intentionally a little more resume before we start

1160
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:23,959
Speaker 1: the grade. Will Stein's the same at offensive coordinator. Will

1161
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 1: Stein though, along with Colin Klein down at A and M,

1162
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 1: a couple of the best offensive coordinators younger offense coordinators

1163
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: in the country. This is a top twenty five support

1164
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 1: staff at Oregon. If you wanted to point out a weakness,

1165
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:41,439
Speaker 1: inexperience could be called a weakness. It's a question mark

1166
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: more so than a weakness. And defensive support staff they're

1167
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 1: probably a notch below some of the other Big Boy

1168
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 1: title contenders when it comes to grading defensive support staff.

1169
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 1: So there you got Oregon eleven and one this year

1170
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: number three in the country preseason JP poll. Does it

1171
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 1: sound right? Hopefully it does. To move on, who has

1172
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 1: the best defense in the country this year? One of

1173
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 1: you asked this two or three days ago. I wanted

1174
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 1: to get to this. We have to tilt this heavily

1175
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 1: because the big ten is it has some of the

1176
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:18,840
Speaker 1: most horrific offensive performance that you'll ever see. Last year

1177
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 1: they had like six ranked in the one hundred's total offense.

1178
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 1: So yes, that skews things. So like Ohio State top

1179
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 1: three last year, almost everyone back. They added Caleb Downs, Yeah,

1180
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 1: they're up there. Michigan got all Americans at all three

1181
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 1: levels of the defense. Will Johnson as good as it

1182
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 1: gets at corner, Mason Graham, Diddo at defensive tackle. Penn

1183
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 1: State he got Carter and Sutton on the edge, really

1184
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: really good combo there. Iowa just Iowa defensively. So all

1185
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 1: those teams they're up there. They should be up there

1186
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 1: outside of the big ten. I think Notre Dame belongs

1187
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 1: in this conversation. I think it's one of the best

1188
00:59:56,600 --> 01:00:00,160
Speaker 1: defensive lines in the country. I think Ben Morris is

1189
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:03,080
Speaker 1: an excellent corner. Xavier Watts, you could say the same

1190
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 1: thing about him at safety. Georgia, we just earlier in

1191
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:12,919
Speaker 1: this show did a piece on Georgia. We were talking about,

1192
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 1: is the pass rush gonna be there? Only forty seventh

1193
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 1: in sack rate last year. Will they be able to

1194
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 1: pressure the quarterback like they have in the past. Well, again,

1195
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 1: these are first world problems because we're not judging Georgia

1196
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 1: against twenty eighteen Georgia or whatever. We're judging them against

1197
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 1: the other teams in the country in twenty twenty four, Georgia.

1198
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 2: Will still be really good.

1199
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 1: How those secondary pieces shakeout, how those pass rushing pieces shakeout,

1200
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 1: that'll determine, along with health, whether they're up here in

1201
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 1: the top five. That Clemson defensive front has my attention.

1202
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 1: Avion Terrell, like I said, lockdown Corner. That's the caliber

1203
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 1: of play that I expect from him. So you could

1204
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 1: talk Notre Dame here, you could talk Georgia Clemson. I

1205
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 1: hesitated to put Bama in there because I questioned the

1206
01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:01,720
Speaker 1: depth and the lack of proven production in the secondary.

1207
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 1: So there were some other teams I looked at, but

1208
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 1: those are three outside the big ten that I'd roll with.

1209
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 2: Now another question. I wanted to hit a couple of.

1210
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 1: These right quick before we move into the final stretch

1211
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 1: of the show. Oh, hold on, hold on just a

1212
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 1: second now. Someone just said, don't sleep on Texas's defense.

1213
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 1: I'm not even supposed to be looking at the live

1214
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 1: chat yet. Waves Deep is the poster. Are you telling

1215
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 1: me you think Texas will have a top five defense

1216
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,160
Speaker 1: this year, because that's kind of what we're talking about.

1217
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:36,640
Speaker 1: I mean we're talking about the best in the country.

1218
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 1: Do we think Texas is gonna lose Sweat and Murphy

1219
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 1: off the interior and be a top five defense Jesse,

1220
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:46,960
Speaker 1: let me know what he says. Who has the easiest

1221
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 1: schedule in the country this year? Who has a workable path?

1222
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 1: I do have an updated bit of information from FanDuel.

1223
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:59,919
Speaker 1: Liberty now has the best odds to go undefeated this year.

1224
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 1: Why well, they don't play any Power four teams. Anyone, anyone, No,

1225
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 1: no one has a problem with that, Okay, and that's

1226
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 1: notable because the G five went sixteen and ninety four

1227
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 1: against Power four teams last year. Liberty don't have to

1228
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,520
Speaker 1: worry about that. They don't play any and sure enough

1229
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 1: if they go twelve and oh they're.

1230
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 2: In the playoff. Man, the auto BID's just a great,

1231
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 2: great thing for everyone, isn't it.

1232
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:25,919
Speaker 1: Utah in the Big twelve, I think has the most

1233
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 1: workable schedule. They play seven of the bottom nine teams

1234
01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 1: in the Big twelve preseason playoff odds. So they go

1235
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 1: to Oklahoma State in Week four. That's a really big game.

1236
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 1: Really looking forward.

1237
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 2: To that one.

1238
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 1: They got Iowa stayed at home late. They go to

1239
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:50,000
Speaker 1: Orlando for a Thursday game to end the season. I

1240
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 1: think in the let's go to the ACC, right quick, Jesse,

1241
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 1: SMU and Syracuse. We looked at both of these, Remember, kids,

1242
01:02:59,200 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: SMU is in the E.

1243
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 2: Now.

1244
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 1: SMU plays two top twenty five teams and one of

1245
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 1: them is FSU, and that's at home. They play five

1246
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 1: of the bottom six teams in the ACC. As for Syracuse,

1247
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 1: horrible out of conference. They play no Clemson, they play

1248
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 1: no FSU. They play five of the bottom of seven

1249
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:23,960
Speaker 1: teams in the conference in terms of preseason odds. So

1250
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 1: SMU and Syracuse couldn't ask for more there in the

1251
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 1: Big ten. Yeah, yeah, it's Rutgers Rutgers, no Penn State,

1252
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 1: no Ohio State, no Oregon, no Michigan. They play zero

1253
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 1: teams with a preseason over underwin total above eight and

1254
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 1: a half. What more could you ask for? If you're

1255
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 1: Greg Ciano. It's Missouri in the SEC very clearly. Now

1256
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 1: they do face four top twenty five teams, they only

1257
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 1: face one of them in the top ten, and that's

1258
01:03:56,880 --> 01:04:02,520
Speaker 1: Alabama right there October twenty. They're out of conference is

1259
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 1: Murray State, Buffalo, Boston College and U mass Now, in fairness,

1260
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 1: they are gonna gird up their loins and go on

1261
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: the road to u Mass Jesse. Do we have the

1262
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 1: SEC's record at UMass. We don't have that. Okay, we'll

1263
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 1: get that. We'll get that in time. All four bottom

1264
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 1: teams in the SEC, Missouri draws all four of them.

1265
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:28,800
Speaker 1: So if Missouri is in Atlanta at the end of

1266
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 1: the year, don't be shocked, because it could happen because

1267
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:34,600
Speaker 1: they're a good team, but they also have a very

1268
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:37,439
Speaker 1: workable schedule. Now, I did want to touch on one

1269
01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:39,480
Speaker 1: more thing here, and we're gonna get to bold predictions.

1270
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 1: Then we're gonna go to live chat. One of you

1271
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 1: hit me. Auburn Jeff from Alexander City, Alabama hit me

1272
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 1: and said, hey, so we're just not gonna talk about

1273
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 1: Auburn recruiting like we did when Bama was hot. Jeff,

1274
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 1: that doesn't sound like me. Absolutely, we're gonna talk about

1275
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 1: Auburn recruiting. Got the number five class in the country

1276
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,720
Speaker 1: right now, In case you haven't met, I'm paying attention

1277
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 1: out there, is Hugh Freeze about the land back to

1278
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:07,240
Speaker 1: back top ten classes. Yes, he probably is, And if

1279
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 1: they do that, that'll be the first time since twenty sixteen,

1280
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. Now, since July twenty seven, Auburn has landed

1281
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 1: five players inside the twenty four seven Sports Top two

1282
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 1: four seven. They landed Jared Smith the other day. That's

1283
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:27,080
Speaker 1: a five star edge player. They flipped four star wide

1284
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 1: receiver Derek Smith from Alabama. That was a dagger to

1285
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 1: the ribs for the Crimson Tide. They've currently got twelve

1286
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 1: in the top two four seven.

1287
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 2: Committed.

1288
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:41,440
Speaker 1: Josh, commitments don't mean anything. It's just July, it's August.

1289
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 1: They don't mean anything. My offer is on the table.

1290
01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 1: I do this anytime someone tells me verbal commits don't

1291
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 1: mean anything. My offers on the table. Jesse, how many

1292
01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 1: do they have committed right now?

1293
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,840
Speaker 2: Total? Is it twenty one? Is?

1294
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 1: It looks like twenty one? Okay, so let's just go

1295
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:02,200
Speaker 1: at twenty one. I'm gonna take those twenty one kids.

1296
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 1: For every one of them that decommits, I give you

1297
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:11,080
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars. If for everyone that stays committed, you

1298
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 1: give me one thousand dollars. To this date, no one's

1299
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:17,920
Speaker 1: taken me up on this, which leads me to believe

1300
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 1: that people don't really mean what they say when they

1301
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 1: say verbal commits me nothing. Now, what about quarterback, Josh,

1302
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:28,960
Speaker 1: they don't have a quarterback. Where's the quarterback? Well, there

1303
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:32,160
Speaker 1: is not a quarterback on that commitment list, at least

1304
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 1: not a high level quarterback on that commitment list. I

1305
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,080
Speaker 1: don't know how much longer that's going to be the case, friends,

1306
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:41,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how much longer that's going to be

1307
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: the case. I'll I'll just throw up the deuces on

1308
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 1: that eleven commits from the state of Alabama. You know,

1309
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 1: the slider's there, so I might as well talk about it.

1310
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 1: Deuce Night has committed to Notre Dame now. Once point

1311
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 1: a time I thought Notre Dame had that kid locked up.

1312
01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if they've got him locked up anymore.

1313
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 1: Auburn's making a lot of noise. A couple of people

1314
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 1: I trust in the recruiting space outright think Douce Night

1315
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 1: will flip to Auburn. That hasn't happened, at least unless

1316
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 1: it happened in the past hour. But Auburn's a major

1317
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:15,200
Speaker 1: player there from Mississippi either, a major player there. They

1318
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 1: got eleven commits from Alabama, though, and that age old

1319
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:22,240
Speaker 1: question is being asked again, how valuable is in state

1320
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:24,960
Speaker 1: recruiting because Bama still got a higher rated class than

1321
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 1: Auburn does, and it's littered with players from coast to coast,

1322
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:30,600
Speaker 1: and Hugh Freeze is going and locking down all the

1323
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 1: players in the state of Alabama. It means something. I

1324
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:37,080
Speaker 1: can't tell you how much it means, but it means something.

1325
01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:39,400
Speaker 1: And I've stood on the field for many an Iron

1326
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:45,000
Speaker 1: Bowl and there is an intangible quality. There is something

1327
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:49,160
Speaker 1: that bleeds out of players from that state when they're

1328
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:52,400
Speaker 1: playing in that game. It's always a knife fight anyway.

1329
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 1: It means something. I can't quantify it, just like I

1330
01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 1: can't quantify home field advantage at Jorden Hare Stadium. There's

1331
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 1: just something weird that happens there. There's something different when

1332
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 1: you're playing your in state rival with a bunch of

1333
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:08,240
Speaker 1: in state players. It means something. I don't know how

1334
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:12,160
Speaker 1: much it means, but it means something. Fandel got your

1338
01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:23,920

1339
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 1: by the very definition of a slippery slope, that would

1340
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 1: be one. But FanDuel's got odds on Auburn, they got

01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 1: fight in the office that producer Jesse wins, I let

1382
01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 1: him win.

1383
01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:54,719
Speaker 2: I did let him win this one.

1384
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 1: Our fight was is this question saying regular season or

1385
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 1: should we just count any game? Okay, so we're gonna

1386
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:05,639
Speaker 1: count any game. If Ohio State wins every game they

1387
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:09,800
Speaker 1: play by two possessions or more, that means they win

1388
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:14,679
Speaker 1: the national title. So that means they're going to win

1389
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:17,640
Speaker 1: every game on the schedule, including going to Oregon and

1390
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 1: winning by nine or more. They're gonna go to Penn

1391
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 1: State and win by nine or more. Now that's important

1392
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:25,640
Speaker 1: because Ohio State right now at FanDuel one and a

1393
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:28,599
Speaker 1: half point dog at Oregon, three and a half point

1394
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 1: favorite at Penn State. Okay, so they win both of those,

1395
01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:34,559
Speaker 1: then they go to the Big Ten title game. They

1396
01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:37,879
Speaker 1: don't play some tomato can from the West because divisions

1397
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:40,800
Speaker 1: are no more so, they played the legitimate second best

1398
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:43,320
Speaker 1: team in the Big Ten. So if it's Oregon, they

1399
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 1: get them again, they got them beat them by nine

1400
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:47,640
Speaker 1: or more again. Then they go to the playoff, they

1401
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:49,920
Speaker 1: would almost certainly be the number one seed. They get

1402
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:53,360
Speaker 1: a first round by then, they got to win three

1403
01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 1: games by double digits in the playoff, including the semi

1404
01:11:57,120 --> 01:11:59,559
Speaker 1: final in the national title game. I don't think that's

1405
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 1: gonna happen, even if Ohio State does win it all.

1406
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna call that a nine point seventy five

1407
01:12:04,439 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 1: on the boldness scale. Next up, what a story this

1408
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:11,800
Speaker 1: would be? Seth from Ulis, Texas said. Connor Wigman is

1409
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:15,839
Speaker 1: a Heisman finalist in his first year under Colin Klein.

1410
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:18,920
Speaker 1: Talked about Colin Klein earlier. Think the world of him

1411
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:22,120
Speaker 1: as an offensive coordinator. But how much are they gonna

1412
01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:27,280
Speaker 1: throw the ball? The pass catcher situation there doesn't jump

1413
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:31,920
Speaker 1: off the sheet to me. Colin Klein looks at a

1414
01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:34,960
Speaker 1: guy in Connor Wigman, his quarterback that went healthy is good,

1415
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:37,720
Speaker 1: but health has been a major concern here. They got

1416
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:40,719
Speaker 1: a tough schedule, They face a number of really good

1417
01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:43,760
Speaker 1: pass defenses. Now right now, he is tied for the

1418
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:46,559
Speaker 1: tenth best odds. Wigman's got the tenth best odds to

1419
01:12:46,600 --> 01:12:49,360
Speaker 1: win the Heisman, So this isn't out of left field

1420
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:53,080
Speaker 1: by any stretch. I still call it a nine. Maybe

1421
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:55,320
Speaker 1: I shouldn't be that bold on it, but I'm gonna

1422
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:56,040
Speaker 1: call it a nine.

1423
01:12:56,120 --> 01:12:57,840
Speaker 2: Wigman Heisman finalist.

1424
01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:02,160
Speaker 1: Next up, listen to this one because it actually is

1425
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:04,839
Speaker 1: not as bold as you think it is. Josh Smith

1426
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:08,200
Speaker 1: from Bowersville, Georgia. He gave me his last name, so

1427
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:08,720
Speaker 1: I used it.

1428
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:09,559
Speaker 2: He said.

1429
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:12,240
Speaker 1: After looking at the North Carolina schedule this fall, they'll

1430
01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:15,599
Speaker 1: go ten and two and contend for an ACC title.

1431
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:20,599
Speaker 1: Max Johnson top three ACC quarterback. Let's simplify it. Let's

1432
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:22,639
Speaker 1: just say North Carolina goes ten to two.

1433
01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 2: That's the prediction. How's this going to happen? Drake May's gone.

1434
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 1: They lost their entire offensive line, their fiftieth and preseason SMP,

1435
01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:34,559
Speaker 1: plus their ninety ninth in returning production.

1436
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:38,439
Speaker 2: How would it happen? Well, it probably won't, is the answer.

1437
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:43,080
Speaker 1: However, if it does happen, it'll be cause defense improved,

1438
01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:45,880
Speaker 1: which it almost certainly will with Jeff Collins in there now.

1439
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 1: Omrion Hampton is one of the best running backs in

1440
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:51,639
Speaker 1: the country, and they've got him there. They return all

1441
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:54,599
Speaker 1: of their pass catchers except for tes Walker, and much

1442
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 1: to the chagrin of the NCAA, tes Walker got to

1443
01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:59,640
Speaker 1: play college football last year. Hate it when kids get

1444
01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:02,040
Speaker 1: to live out their dream is terrible. Six of the

1445
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:06,320
Speaker 1: bottom seven teams in the ACC are on their schedule,

1446
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:10,080
Speaker 1: So if they had Georgia's schedule, they're probably going three

1447
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:10,599
Speaker 1: and nine.

1448
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:11,679
Speaker 2: But they don't.

1449
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:13,559
Speaker 1: So there is a world if we were to do

1450
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:16,120
Speaker 1: the best case for North Carolina, there is a ten

1451
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 1: and two somewhere in the cards. I don't think they're

1452
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:21,479
Speaker 1: gonna do it, per se. I'm still gonna make this

1453
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:25,200
Speaker 1: a nine. Jesse, I'm calling an audible. I had a

1454
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:27,720
Speaker 1: nine point twenty five. Let's make that a nine on

1455
01:14:27,760 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 1: the boldness scale. I talked myself down a quarter of

1456
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:36,759
Speaker 1: a point. And lastly, DJ from orem Utah. The SEC

1457
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:41,519
Speaker 1: goes undefeated in the playoff against non SEC teams. Okay,

1458
01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:46,439
Speaker 1: so the SEC in the playoff era is sixteen and six.

1459
01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 1: They are fourteen and four versus non SEC teams. The

1460
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:56,120
Speaker 1: losses were all by Alabama just choke artists under Nick

1461
01:14:56,160 --> 01:14:59,240
Speaker 1: saban As it turns out they lost to Michigan last year,

1462
01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:02,120
Speaker 1: a couple the title losses to Clemson, and they lost

1463
01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:05,559
Speaker 1: to Ohio State in twenty fourteen. Those are the only

1464
01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:09,400
Speaker 1: losses the SEC has in the entire playoff era against

1465
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:13,680
Speaker 1: non SEC teams. However, we're gonna have more opportunities for

1466
01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:16,679
Speaker 1: the SEC to lose now because we have more playoff spots.

1467
01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:21,960
Speaker 1: So you're asking perfection in the interest of this prediction,

1468
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:26,280
Speaker 1: it would actually behoove the SEC to only get like

1469
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:28,960
Speaker 1: three teams in Let's just say you got three really

1470
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:31,599
Speaker 1: good teams, then there's a big drop off in the SEC,

1471
01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:34,960
Speaker 1: so there's not competitive balance or parody at all. Well,

1472
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:38,519
Speaker 1: then let's say like Bama, Texas and Georgia are really good. Well,

1473
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:40,559
Speaker 1: they could all win or if they lose, it's to

1474
01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:43,040
Speaker 1: each other. But if you get like five SEC teams

1475
01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:46,200
Speaker 1: in there, someone's losing to a non SEC team. So

1476
01:15:46,200 --> 01:15:48,599
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call this a nine on the boldness scale.

1477
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:53,640
Speaker 1: And that's perfection. They asked that of Herman Boone at

1478
01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:56,720
Speaker 1: TC Williams and they did go undefeated. But most of

1479
01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:59,240
Speaker 1: the time, perfection's hard to come by in college football.

1480
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 2: Okay, we're going to the live chat. Let's do it.

1481
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:06,320
Speaker 1: We're off the grid now, management's turned the show off.

1482
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:09,320
Speaker 1: I'm pulling my laptop in front of me. I'm looking

1483
01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:12,400
Speaker 1: at the live chat. What are we talking about tonight?

1484
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:15,200
Speaker 2: Oh? I have to refresh it as well.

1485
01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:18,360
Speaker 1: We did this couple of nights ago and we just

1486
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:20,920
Speaker 1: kind of hung out here and I looked at the

1487
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:21,400
Speaker 1: live chat.

1488
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:22,720
Speaker 2: What do we talk about? The other night?

1489
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:24,760
Speaker 1: We ended up talking about box car children. How to

1490
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:27,240
Speaker 1: really help the conversation about book fairs?

1491
01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:31,400
Speaker 2: So let's go.

1492
01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:33,840
Speaker 1: There will be some awkward silence in this, you know,

1493
01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:38,760
Speaker 1: because I have to read God Bless and Go Blue. Yeah.

1494
01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:42,360
Speaker 1: Joshua hit us Up asked a really important question, when

1495
01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:45,400
Speaker 1: are we getting a new studio? When I know you'll know, Joshua,

1496
01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 1: when I know you'll know. Is the new Twisters better

1497
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:49,800
Speaker 1: than the original?

1498
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:50,600
Speaker 2: No, it is not.

1499
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:54,599
Speaker 1: It is really good. It is really good. Luke wants

1500
01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:57,240
Speaker 1: me to talk about thoughts on Israel and Iram. Here

1501
01:16:57,280 --> 01:17:03,519
Speaker 1: are my thoughts, No, no, are my thoughts thoughts on Uh?

1502
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:04,799
Speaker 2: Okay, Luke, I got.

1503
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:07,240
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta do it to you, buddy, I

1504
01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 1: gotta ban you goodbye.

1505
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:10,360
Speaker 2: Wow.

1506
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:12,760
Speaker 1: We can't troll each other now I never said that.

1507
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:15,400
Speaker 1: I never said that at all. I'm all for trolling,

1508
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:18,120
Speaker 1: just I don't want to be trolled. I am protrolling

1509
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:24,160
Speaker 1: as long as it's not at my expense. Next up,

1510
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:27,400
Speaker 1: any chance on making it to Gainesville this year?

1511
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1512
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:32,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're actually probably three or four times. If we

1513
01:17:32,040 --> 01:17:33,880
Speaker 1: look at the schedule, we can make it down there now.

1514
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:36,640
Speaker 1: I don't have I don't have anything finalized yet, but

1515
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:39,200
Speaker 1: I would bet we do make it to a Florida

1516
01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 1: game this year. That's what I would bet. What's my

1517
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:44,960
Speaker 1: Auburn prediction. I have not done that yet, Waves Deep.

1518
01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:47,320
Speaker 1: Did you name the Saturday tour yet?

1519
01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 2: No? I led the show tonight, almost led the show

1520
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:53,760
Speaker 2: by telling you I will name the tour within the

1521
01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:55,680
Speaker 2: next week. That was an.

1522
01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:59,519
Speaker 1: Unconfirmed report, but since it was from me, you can

1523
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:04,320
Speaker 1: pretty SAYE assume it's confirmed. How did I become a

1524
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:07,680
Speaker 1: college football fan? I was born. Director Colin's doing some

1525
01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:09,840
Speaker 1: things right now. If you're listening on podcasts, you don't

1526
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:13,840
Speaker 1: even know. So we are in a makeshift studio. It's

1527
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:17,519
Speaker 1: kind of a bomb shelter, Colin. I would call this

1528
01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:21,479
Speaker 1: a bomb shelter with a tile ceiling because we are

1529
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:23,439
Speaker 1: in between studios right now.

1530
01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:24,599
Speaker 2: Now.

1531
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:26,600
Speaker 1: You know, in our normal studio we had like a

1532
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 1: three camera setup. We've had one camera. It's been a

1533
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:34,639
Speaker 1: pure hostage situation in this place. So director Colin somehow

1534
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:37,439
Speaker 1: found a way to get another camera in here, and

1535
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:39,880
Speaker 1: we've been messing around with angles and Colin said, hey,

1536
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:41,400
Speaker 1: do you want to try this tonight? And I said,

1537
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:43,800
Speaker 1: I mean, is it white balanced? Do we have it

1538
01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:47,120
Speaker 1: framed right? And he said no, no, no, let's just

1539
01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:51,200
Speaker 1: wait until the live chat when when management isn't watching,

1540
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:54,120
Speaker 1: what is play around with it? So this is this

1541
01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:56,120
Speaker 1: is Colin messing around with a live shop with the

1542
01:18:56,280 --> 01:18:57,120
Speaker 1: second camera there.

1543
01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:01,720
Speaker 2: Joshua lot of jobs. I was watching the show.

1544
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:04,559
Speaker 1: Said, are you coming to Norman for the Tennessee game?

1545
01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:08,880
Speaker 1: Could be coming to Norman for the Tennessee game? Now

1546
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:12,080
Speaker 1: you know there are other big games that day. Who

1547
01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:14,320
Speaker 1: plays the Michigan's got a big game that day? I

1548
01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:15,599
Speaker 1: was looking at it. I was trying to map out

1549
01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:19,559
Speaker 1: the tour. Will I be at the Cotton Bowl this year? Cole,

1550
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:22,240
Speaker 1: That's the biggest Saturday of the year. We were talking

1551
01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:25,599
Speaker 1: about it an hour ago. I don't know is the answer,

1552
01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:29,360
Speaker 1: because we are in a blessed enough position where I

1553
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:30,960
Speaker 1: don't have to choose the game I go to until

1554
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:31,960
Speaker 1: six days before him.

1555
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:33,960
Speaker 2: But that's a big one.

1556
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:38,120
Speaker 1: That's the same day Ohio State plays at Oregon, so

1557
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:41,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tough choice. Brandon asked, what brand

1558
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 1: T shirt do I wear? I can't tell you that

1559
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:47,000
Speaker 1: because they hadn't paid for me to tell you that, Brandon,

1560
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:49,720
Speaker 1: that would be a big deal, Like I can. I

1561
01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:52,040
Speaker 1: can tell you this is a public's jug of water

1562
01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:54,960
Speaker 1: over here. I don't really mind that. But this T

1563
01:19:55,120 --> 01:19:59,800
Speaker 1: shirt is like the foundational element of this show, and

1564
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:02,679
Speaker 1: it is a company. I'm not telling you which company

1565
01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:05,080
Speaker 1: it is until they pay for it. It's almost as

1566
01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:09,719
Speaker 1: shocking as back in the Attitude era. No beer company

1567
01:20:09,800 --> 01:20:13,360
Speaker 1: sponsored Steve Austin and he's drinking on live TV every

1568
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:17,280
Speaker 1: Monday night. Just a fantastic dropping of the ball by

1569
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:22,400
Speaker 1: marketing departments from coast to coast. Am I hitting the

1570
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:24,320
Speaker 1: gym after the show drew? No, I hit the gym

1571
01:20:24,360 --> 01:20:26,360
Speaker 1: in the middle of the day. That is the biggest

1572
01:20:26,360 --> 01:20:28,519
Speaker 1: blessing of this job. Well, aside from going to any

1573
01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:31,280
Speaker 1: game I want to the biggest blessing of this job.

1574
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:33,439
Speaker 1: Oh and also getting to talk college football for living.

1575
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:35,600
Speaker 1: The biggest blessing of this job is I get to

1576
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:37,639
Speaker 1: make my own schedule, which means I get to work

1577
01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:40,799
Speaker 1: out in the middle of the day. That's awesome because

1578
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:43,960
Speaker 1: for a long time I did five am workouts, which

1579
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:47,640
Speaker 1: I hate them with a passion, or I did night workouts,

1580
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:49,719
Speaker 1: also hate them with a passion.

1581
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:51,160
Speaker 2: And I know a lot of you have to do that.

1582
01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:54,720
Speaker 1: In fact, I know there are thousands of you who

1583
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:57,479
Speaker 1: are at gym's right now and you are listening to

1584
01:20:57,520 --> 01:21:00,600
Speaker 1: the show live, and I salute you. I salute you.

1585
01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:03,760
Speaker 1: Couldn't be me though. Why did the Braves suck? I

1586
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:06,400
Speaker 1: don't know, Hayden, Probably because I hadn't talked or enough

1587
01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:09,720
Speaker 1: or watched them enough this year. Am I coming to

1588
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:12,720
Speaker 1: Aggie Land this year? I sure do want to. I

1589
01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:15,920
Speaker 1: was talking to an LSU coach today. I haven't been

1590
01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:16,880
Speaker 1: to LSU.

1591
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:19,000
Speaker 2: In three years. It's one of my favorite places to go.

1592
01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:22,400
Speaker 1: The schedule has not fallen the way I wanted it

1593
01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:24,120
Speaker 1: to to get down there, same way with Texas A

1594
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:25,840
Speaker 1: and m We were down there a couple of years ago.

1595
01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:27,479
Speaker 1: I've been down there a couple times in the last

1596
01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:33,320
Speaker 1: few years. Will Miami be an underdog in any game

1597
01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:36,559
Speaker 1: this year. That'd be a good segment. I have to

1598
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:37,280
Speaker 1: look at the schedule.

1599
01:21:37,680 --> 01:21:40,439
Speaker 2: They probably will.

1600
01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:43,360
Speaker 1: But I will have to also have to see how

1601
01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:49,880
Speaker 1: the season starts out. Someone's at the gym right now. Yeah,

1602
01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:51,439
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you see a lot of

1603
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:53,559
Speaker 1: you do not listen to music in there. You listen

1604
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:57,000
Speaker 1: to podcasting. I mean, we make this show to be

1605
01:21:57,080 --> 01:22:03,520
Speaker 1: listened to in the gym, So I do appreciate it.

1606
01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:06,240
Speaker 1: Is Ohio State a tough team? Roman, What are we

1607
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:09,440
Speaker 1: talking about? Are they a tough team?

1608
01:22:09,800 --> 01:22:10,880
Speaker 2: Yeah? They are the tough team.

1609
01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:13,439
Speaker 1: Had been as tough as Michigan the last few years though,

1610
01:22:14,439 --> 01:22:15,599
Speaker 1: So that's really all that's mattered.

1611
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:16,240
Speaker 2: Huh.

1612
01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:20,160
Speaker 1: That's why I look at their style of player that

1613
01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:24,800
Speaker 1: they have, and I say, and continue to say, they

1614
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:28,840
Speaker 1: could play the same style Michigan has, and I'd choose to.

1615
01:22:28,840 --> 01:22:29,559
Speaker 2: If I were them.

1616
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 1: When I think about Ohio State last few years, I

1617
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:36,320
Speaker 1: think incredible talented receiver. Well I also think about them

1618
01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:39,920
Speaker 1: getting pushed around in some key moments. Well, that shouldn't happen.

1619
01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:42,479
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to happen. They should be able to

1620
01:22:42,479 --> 01:22:44,880
Speaker 1: be the wrecking ball instead of the wall. They should

1621
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:49,280
Speaker 1: be able to do that, so I don't know. We'll see.

1622
01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:51,280
Speaker 1: Had Ryan Day on the show a couple of weeks

1623
01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:55,920
Speaker 1: ago said were there philosophical shifts that you wanted to

1624
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:58,320
Speaker 1: make in your team? He said, yeah, yeah, there were.

1625
01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:00,920
Speaker 1: Don't want to talk about them specific, but yeah they were.

1626
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:03,920
Speaker 1: I'd be willing to bet you a buffalo. Nicholas me

1627
01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:07,600
Speaker 1: Mal would say that that's one of them. Am I

1628
01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:11,519
Speaker 1: coming to Camp Randall this year? Justin asks hopefully never

1629
01:23:11,560 --> 01:23:14,600
Speaker 1: been there before. In fact, I've never been to the

1630
01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:18,280
Speaker 1: state of Wisconsin before, pathetic, and so we're gonna try

1631
01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:21,400
Speaker 1: and pull that off. I want to tell you one thing,

1632
01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:24,160
Speaker 1: so I have to I don't have to do anything.

1633
01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:26,439
