Speaker 1: good holiday weekend. We've got a fun show ahead of

31
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: us here this evening. What we've been trying to do

32
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: once a month is answer questions. And I could say

33
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: undeniably that after you put out the call on Facebook

34
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: and Twitter and lord knows wherever else to get some

35
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: questions into the inboxes that we had only Yeah, yeah,

36
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: we had an unbelievable outpouring of questions. You can tell

37
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: that people are getting a little antsy for the season

38
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: to start.

39
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: Dan correct, Yes, and a wide array of questions too,

40
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: both college ball, non college football. Went to some weird places,

41
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: got a lot of food questions, got a lot of

42
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: life questions. So we're gonna go mostly college football, but

43
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna we'll sprinkle in some good life questions.

44
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: I think that's reasonable.

45
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: We'll do our best to sprinkle in a couple housekeeping

46
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: notes before we go any further, though, First and foremost,

47
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: because people have asked, and because we've been teasing this

48
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: now for weeks for months on end. Dan and I

49
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: are planning to do a live Fantasy Things draft at

50
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: some point next month in New York City. That quote

51
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: unquote some point has been narrowed a little bit to

52
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: either August fifth or August twelfth, both are Saturdays. We're

53
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: still working to firm up the date, still working to

54
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: firm up the time and the location. But as soon

55
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: as we have that information, as soon as we have

56
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 1: more information about tickets and other particulars, will be sure

57
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: to pass that along to you. But if you're going

58
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: to be in the area one of those two weekends,

59
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: or if you can be in the area one of

60
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: those two weekends, just wanted to give you an early

61
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: heads up that that's what we're thinking. We will absolutely

62
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: make it worth your while and provide more details as

63
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: they are available, but for the time being anyway, Dan,

64
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: that's that's what it's looking like, right.

65
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 2: Yes, this is correct. We will have a proctor for

66
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: Is that the right word that we should be looking for?

67
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: I like it.

68
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: Proctor is a fun word. It may be our pal

69
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: Ryan Nanny. So I hope that it's encouraging even more

70
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: so for people to come out. Well, the tickets will

71
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: be very cheap, just to sort of cover our costs.

72
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: I already tried to recruit our pal Adam Amine, come

73
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: into New York from Chicago. Turned down, turned down. He

74
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: wanted to make it, but he will not be in

75
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: New York in early to mid August, at least as

76
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: of right now. If he is, we will kidnap him

77
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: and force him to use his professional skills for free.

78
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: But it's going to be a really fun time. So

79
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: we'll have that early to mid August, and there's going

80
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 2: to be really good barbecue and drinks and everything like

81
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: that available to purchase and have fun with. We'll hang

82
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: around as long as anybody wants us to hang around,

83
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: to try and say nice things about your teams. And

84
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: we're going to try to release shirts this month. Yeah,

85
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: that's a fun thing. And the place that people can

86
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 2: find out about shirts and those little tickets for our

87
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: live show ahead of everybody else would.

88
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: Be that would be the newsletter, which you can find

89
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: if you go on out to solidverbal dot com. We've

90
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: added it to our main menu. Good. We also have

91
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: not sent out a newsletter in a while. We had

92
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: a gentleman ask us, hey, where's the newsletter? I haven't

93
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: seen it. We haven't sent it. It's more of an

94
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: in season thing. Yeah, more of an in season thing.

95
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: But we tend to send out the bat signal for

96
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: things like this. We haven't sent it out yet. Keep

97
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: subscribing if you want more information on all of that

98
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: fine stuff. And then the final thing I'll bring up

99
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: just because I actually thought it was a cool idea

100
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: and it wasn't ours. A gentleman came to us let

101
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: us know that he's planning on starting the Solidverbal subreddit.

102
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I have no c how any of

103
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: the stuff works, but he asked, He asked if we

104
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: could put out a call for people who are interested

105
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: in helping, so we will hook you up with him

106
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: on Twitter if you're interested in and be a part

107
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: of that little community.

108
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: Every time I go on, by the way, every time

109
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 2: I go on the college football subreddit and just to

110
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 2: see news and stories and everything like that, occasionally somebody

111
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: will say, what's a good college football podcast to listen to?

112
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: And there are always links, and invariably we get brought

113
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 2: up with a number of other really good podcasts like

114
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: podcasting Play Nobody in the Shutdown full Cast, and people

115
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: generally have nice things to say, and sometimes people say

116
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,799
Speaker 2: I like it, but Dan's kind of annoying, which means

117
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: college football Subreddit really gets our show. Yeah, they really

118
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: get our essence. So we love the college football community

119
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: on Reddit.

120
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: They're good people.

121
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: Reddit can be lit dicey, but the college football crew

122
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: is pretty fun.

123
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: Agreed. I go a couple times a day. We love

124
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: the site. Nice. On that note, Dan, congratulations, Skippy, you've

125
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: got mail, You've got on the solid verbal. As often

126
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: as we can, we like to pay homage to those

127
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: of you who tweet, who Facebook, who Instagram, who snapchat,

128
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: who email into soliverble at gmail dot com. If you

129
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: find some way, somehow to get in touch with us, now,

130
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: let us know the burning questions that you have. There's

131
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,679
Speaker 1: a good chance this could be our very last one,

132
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: at least for a while. We try to sprinkle in

133
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: questions as we progress forward. But we've got a bunch

134
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: of cool shows coming up. We've got our How Recruiting

135
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: Work Show, Come on Man, currently in production. We've got

136
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: our show with Bill Barnwell, Our Mystery Show with Bill Barnwell,

137
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: the Bonus episode, and then we've got our History of

138
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: soliverbal Show that's going to round out the month of

139
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: July a little bit later on this month before we

140
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: get into previews. So I'm not saying, but I'm saying,

141
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: there's a good chance that there are some questions that

142
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: won't get answered. This is the true, which means we've

143
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: got a rifle through these dan Is as quickly as

144
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: we can.

145
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: We've had a couple of people ask a similar question.

146
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 2: It just makes sense to start with this. We are

147
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 2: recording this on July sixth, so right after the fourth

148
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 2: of July, right after you know, people getting together and

149
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: having fun with family and friends and celebrating the holiday.

150
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: That's when it seems for some people, attention starts turning

151
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: to college football and people are getting antsy. Does this

152
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: make you antsy now that it's just sort of baseball

153
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: left before college football season? Because I'm not yet antsy.

154
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,559
Speaker 2: I'm really excited, but I don't start really getting antsy

155
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: until like a week or two before. I tend to

156
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: try to enjoy summer because I live in a cold

157
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 2: place filled with trash, and the summer is one of

158
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: the few times where I get to enjoy something different.

159
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: Antsie would be the wrong way to characterize it. In general,

160
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: I don't get anty or anxious for a lot of

161
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: things in life. But what I would say, I'm reminded

162
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: of that scene in Apollo thirteen where the world's getting

163
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: awfully big in the window, and that's kind of how

164
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: I feel about the college football season. I can see

165
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: it fast approaching. We've planned out what our shows are

166
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: going to look like over the next couple weeks and months,

167
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: and it's glaringly obvious that it's starting to get in

168
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: the crunch time where I'm going to have to cram

169
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: a lot of previews, start putting together preview content and

170
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. So yeah, not there yet,

171
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: but I'll be here soon enough.

172
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: Okay, first question I have here is from it looks

173
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 2: like Will Will wants to know, as I look at

174
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 2: my my sheet, based on preseason expectations alone, what's the

175
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 2: best week of college football this year? I have a

176
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 2: week picked out. I don't know if you picked out

177
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 2: a week today you had a busy day.

178
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: I have actually done research for this question, but not

179
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: breaking news in the build up to tonight's show, Right,

180
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: So I have a week in mind that may involve

181
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: Notre Dame Georgia. Ok That may involve Auburn Clemson, that

182
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: may involve Oklahoma Ohio State. By the way, all three

183
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: of those games at night. I'm thank you College football

184
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: Week two.

185
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you like that big number two, don't you.

186
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: I like that crooked number, Dan, give me number two. Yes,

187
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: number two is actually surprisingly good this year.

188
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 2: A lot of time you have the fall off after

189
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 2: exciting non conference non home and home. But you know,

190
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 2: neutral site week ones, and there's some really sneaky good

191
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 2: week ones. I think app State Georgia is week one,

192
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 2: and that app State defense is fun and dangerous. And

193
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 2: you have Alabama Florida State at night, and A and

194
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: m Ucla on Sunday, West Virginia Virginia Tech, Tennessee, Georgia Tech, whatever,

195
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: there's some fun of week one. I think you're right

196
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: on with Week two. I have earmarked right here, though

197
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: ty week eight. I went through a bunch of weeks

198
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 2: week gate. As of right now in early July, you've

199
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 2: got a fun Thursday night game Memphis and Houston. I

200
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: think at the very least that looks like it'll be

201
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: fun even without Tom Herman. Yes, I think we got

202
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 2: fun new offensive coordinator from Memphis. It's chipped long over

203
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: to Notre Dame.

204
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: That's correct.

205
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, you have Wyami Wyam, Wyoming, Boise State, two

206
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 2: really good quarterbacks. Josh Allen may be in a very

207
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: NFL E place by then with a lot of hype. Louisville,

208
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: Florida State, Tennessee, Bama, Auburn, Arkansas, North Carolina, Virginia Tech

209
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 2: see two new quarterbacks, lsu Ole, miss Oklahoma, Kansas State

210
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: who is expected to be a good deal better this year,

211
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State, Texas could be sneaky fun, Oregon, Ucla, we

212
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: don't know what to expect, Penn State, Michigan and USC

213
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 2: Notre Dame.

214
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: Wow.

215
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: So I've got a lot of good, if not interesting

216
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 2: quarterback play, a lot of unknowns with you know, Brandon Wimbush,

217
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 2: with what Michigan's offense is going to look like by then,

218
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 2: what Texas's offense under Tom Herman's going to look like,

219
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 2: what Lincoln Riley and Oklahoma. I guess we have a

220
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: good idea. But there's it's a heavy deep week.

221
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: Last year, Week one in Week three were loaded. Yes,

222
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: this year it's a very top heavy schedule again in

223
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: that we've got some good weeks to start off the

224
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: college of season. Week one isn't nearly as loaded as

225
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: it's been the last two seasons. Week three, I don't

226
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: think nearly as loaded as it was a year ago.

227
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: Week two here's what you got again, those three games

228
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: at night Auburn, Clemson, Indie, Georgia, Oklahoma, Ohio State. You've

229
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: also got Iowa, Iowa State, l Aciko, the Holy War

230
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: and BYU, Utah Pitt Penn State, Nebraska, Oregon, Boise, Washington

231
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: State late at night Minnesota, Oregon State, which is interesting,

232
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: TCU Arkansas, Stanford, USC and Louisville North Carolina. So good.

233
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: A good spectrum of games, nice depth of matchups there.

234
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 1: Week is pretty solid though, too, so Week two and

235
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: week eight is the answer.

236
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: Will This is from Quinn the Day, which is not

237
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 2: as accurate because when the day doesn't exist for Oregon anymore.

238
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 2: This is our friend Quinn, who is the best freshman

239
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 2: or sophomore quarterback in the country that nobody is talking about,

240
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 2: and he, of course says Justin.

241
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: Herbert is his pick. TI. Do you have a freshman

242
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: or sophomore quarterback? Does a red shirt sophomore count here?

243
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: I'll count a red shirt sophomore if if they either

244
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: played somewhat last year, it started last year, whatever the

245
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: case may be, that you know, perhaps is floating a

246
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 2: little bit under the radar.

247
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, I've been talking about him all oft for Duke. Yeah,

248
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: it's a good pick around college football.

249
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold obviously on the radar, but he himself a

250
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 2: red shirt sophomore. Around college football as a whole, there's

251
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: not too.

252
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: Many of them. Eric Dungee another name I've mentioned. I

253
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: think you do like Lee falls in this category.

254
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts is not under the radar by any stretch,

255
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 2: but I think he has been discounted a little bit

256
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: because of how he finished the season. And I am

257
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 2: looking forward and people are already saying he's being pushed

258
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 2: by the true freshman who came in early to tagle

259
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 2: the Tagaailoa from Hawaii. But Jalen Hurts I feel like

260
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 2: has attention, but we may be under rating him a

261
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 2: little bit with how successful he was as a true

262
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 2: freshman in that system.

263
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: So okay, But then the question was that no one

264
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: is talking about I gave you Eric Dungee and Daniel Jones.

265
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: So far, you've given me Sam Darnold and Jayley hurts Dan.

266
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: This is true.

267
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: This is undeniably true.

268
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

269
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: I was gonna say Keller Chris, But Keller Chris is

270
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: a senior. He to me feels a little bit under

271
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 2: the radar because of his injury elsewhere.

272
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: How about Alex Hornybrook, that's pretty good. He's all right, yeah,

273
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 1: game manager, but you know he'll win games for you.

274
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 2: How's that help to lead them to the Big ten title?

275
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: Game?

276
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 2: Came up a little bit short, but still still sort

277
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 2: of fun. I don't know if there's freshmen coming in

278
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: that I'm very excited about. Would you count Brandon Wimbush.

279
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 2: He's not under the radar, but do you think he is?

280
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 2: I like him a lot. I like I would not

281
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: count him. I would not count him for this, But

282
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 2: I like Wimbush an awful lot. I think he's going

283
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 2: to be really solid in that system for Notre Dame.

284
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 2: And I think in an era where you've got a

285
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 2: lot of guys transferring out because of lack of playing time,

286
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: Wimbush right now looks like the evil genius who played

287
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 2: his long con just right. Because the heiser Zaire thing

288
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 2: went down last year, both are now gone and he

289
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 2: gets to play a year earlier than expected. I've got

290
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 2: two guys that are one hundred percent under the radar

291
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 2: at this moment. Who I believe either red shirted or

292
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: didn't play a ton last year because of injury one

293
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 2: and they both might not win the starting job at

294
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 2: their school. So I better get this in right now.

295
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 2: Jarrett Guarintano at Tennessee Tennesseeah. Really liked his high school tape.

296
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: I know that doesn't mean a whole lot, but I

297
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: like his skill set a whole bunch, and I think

298
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 2: coming into a system that does have some momentum offensively,

299
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: it could be really nice for him. I like his

300
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 2: talent a lot. Also, he was super young last year.

301
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 2: My second pick, Khalil Tait at Arizona.

302
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he was.

303
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: A little thin, got hurt, but is We'll see if

304
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 2: he can develop as a passer, he becomes very dangerous.

305
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: But he is an electric athlete and you know, sort

306
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 2: of in the vein of maybe like a like a

307
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 2: Pat White, you know, sort of not scrawny but lean,

308
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: but you know, explosive player. Khalil Tated Arizona.

309
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: That'll play for rich Rod. Where are we going next?

310
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, next question. I like this question a lot.

311
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 2: This is more vague or not vague, but bigger picture,

312
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: if there were an NC double A video game this year,

313
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: who would you be most excited player wise? And I'm

314
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 2: going to say outside of Penn State tie Yeah, yeah.

315
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: To play with in the game. I mean the obvious

316
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: answer is Lamar Jackson. Yeah. I think that's a really

317
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: good answer, Lamar Jay. If you have a truly mobile

318
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: quarterback in any video game, those guys are virtually unstoppable

319
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: and that that dates back to like the old Mike

320
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: Vick era of NC double A of Madden, Lamar Jackson

321
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: would be a tough one to pass up.

322
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's generally going to be a quarterback or some

323
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 2: sort of multi tool speedy weapon. Christian would be very

324
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 2: fun to play with with some jet sweeps and punt returns.

325
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: He would be quite fun.

326
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: Quentin Flowers, who we both love, would be a pretty

327
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:13,479
Speaker 2: obvious answer. H looking through playmakers.

328
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it depends what you're after, right, If if

329
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: you're after putting up the true pinball numbers, then I

330
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: think the answer is Lamar Jackson. Yes. If you're into

331
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: the whole freshman development thing, pick cam akers in Florida

332
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: State just run every down when the Heisman as fresh.

333
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say Ronald Jones in USC has home run ability. Yeah,

334
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 2: that could be quite fun, maybe overshadowed a little bit

335
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 2: by Sam Darnold's all right, Yeah, that's that's That's another

336
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 2: next topic. Next topic, Ty, which team currently outside the

337
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 2: top twenty five has the best chance at finishing in

338
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 2: the top ten.

339
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: Hmm. So for this metric, Ty.

340
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 2: I went ahead and used Bill Ce's projected top twenty

341
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 2: five because I think it's a it's a good combination

342
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 2: of different factors to get us a top twenty five.

343
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 2: So just out of the top twenty five. In this

344
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 2: I'll give you the top twelve or so teams outside

345
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 2: of the top twenty five, and you can tell me

346
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: what you feel most passionately about.

347
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: Ole, miss NC.

348
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 2: State, Baylor, Boise State, Mississippi State, Georgia Tech, Arkansas, UCLA,

349
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 2: Kansas State, South Carolina, Northwestern North Carolina. Do you say

350
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 2: Kansas State? I did say Kansas State, who a lot

351
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 2: of people have projected higher than they're projected thirty fifth

352
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 2: in the S and POP.

353
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: I could see Kansas State working their way into the

354
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: top twenty five. I'm not sure. I actually didn't do

355
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: a fair amount of research for this one, but a

356
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: team that came to mind was Notre Dame. I don't

357
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: know where Notre Dame's at, but Notre Dame seems like

358
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: the kind of team that.

359
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 2: They're seventeenth in the SNP plus projection, so they're outside

360
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 2: of the top ten, right, Yeah.

361
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: I could see them. Kansas State. You mentioned NC State.

362
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued by NC State this year.

363
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 2: If they had a better schedule, I would probably roll

364
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 2: with UCLA. Their schedules not great, but last year's defense

365
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 2: was undeniably the top ten defense in the country, especially

366
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 2: that pass defense. You saw the NFL talent but they

367
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 2: had on the roster last year under Tom scrat Bradley,

368
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 2: their defense really took a very nice step forward. A

369
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: new offensive coordinator healthy, Josh Rosen. They have Texas A

370
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 2: and M early. They go to Memphis, to Stanford, to Washington,

371
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 2: to Utah, which is always a hornet's nest at altitude,

372
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 2: to USC.

373
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: Are they playing any home games Dan? They do not

374
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: play home games. No, they have A and M at home.

375
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: They have Hawaii at home.

376
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 2: It's not a great Oregon at home, which could be

377
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 2: advantageous by mid to late October, and they've got a

378
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 2: strange letdown spot the post rivalry game, the post second

379
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 2: or like the second to last week rivalry game.

380
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: They have Cal after that.

381
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not terribly worried about Cal in the first

382
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 2: year coach, but I like the staff, but the schedule's

383
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 2: not right, or else I'd roll with UCLA.

384
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: So of this, I'd go UCLA, possibly North.

385
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 2: Carolina, just because of the strides they've taken these past

386
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 2: couple of years and developing quarterbacks. All right, next topic, next,

387
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 2: I'm back, Let's go to I love this question.

388
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 1: Ty.

389
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 2: This comes to our pal. Comes to us from our

390
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 2: pal Jane Couston. Has Tie's family finally forgiven Dan for

391
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 2: his comments regarding the food at Tie's wedding.

392
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: No, still know what have you done to rectify the situation? Dan?

393
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: I thought I clarified that I enjoyed my eating at

394
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 2: your wedding.

395
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just telling you. I'm telling you, in

396
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: the nicest possible terms, that I have made peace with

397
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 1: you because you and I we have a show. We

398
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: have a business venture here with the show. M hmm.

399
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: Other people who aren't as attached, they don't share the

400
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: same sentiment as I. Okay, So if you come down here,

401
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm not sure you'll be well.

402
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to have a very mature sit down

403
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 2: with mama ah and get this.

404
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: Also, I didn't say it was mom Ah. I'm not

405
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: I'm not naming names. Here are anonymous sources. Dan Okay, okay.

406
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 2: I'm just thinking of the people you're related to that

407
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 2: listen to the show and Detective Dan Rubinstein on the case.

408
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 2: We'll stick with this because we've got a quick answer here.

409
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 2: One one swell foop or one fell swoop? Has Tie

410
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 2: ever had.

411
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: A bond me?

412
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 2: Bo b A n H b A n H bond

413
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 2: space M I me bond me.

414
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: Uh.

415
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: It's a Vietnamese sandwich with French influence.

416
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: Great. Yeah, I was gonna say, I'm assuming that's some

417
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: Vietnamese dish. Mm hm. When you said has Tie ever

418
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,719
Speaker 1: had a bond me, I thought you were asking if

419
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: I've had a bonfire. That might be the closest I

420
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: come to this one swell foop like bond me bond me?

421
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: I think you'd like a bond me? Okay.

422
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 2: It's French bread. Generally traditionally it's you know, some sort

423
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 2: of roasted pork and then cilantro and like spicy. Mays

424
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 2: me to Vietnamese Vietnamese food.

425
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: Excuse me. In Austin there was like a food truck. Yes,

426
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: and we tried Vietnamese something or another tacos. Yeah, it

427
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: was a fusion taco situation. It was very good. It

428
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: was not I'm not opposed to it. I've just not

429
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: had any exposure to it.

430
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 2: Sure, absolutely, Uh next question, neither one of us can

431
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 2: speak to this with authority, but we're going to try

432
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 2: to answer it anyway. From Steve Hagen, why are SEC

433
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 2: fans so over the top? And by that I assume

434
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 2: he means enthusiastic, crazed, that.

435
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: Kind of thing. Okay, this is what is your quest, Offesis. Yes,

436
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: you've got a really strong football culture in the Southeast,

437
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: but I've always felt like there's a shortage of a

438
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: true alpha NFL team outside of the Cowboys, the Saints,

439
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: maybe the Falcons.

440
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 2: Maybe the Falcons and Saints are are definite a rivalry,

441
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 2: but they're in not college towns. Necessarily shout out to Tulane, but.

442
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 1: Sure, it's just in a lot of spots college football

443
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 1: got there first, you know, like the Titans, the who else,

444
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: the Jags, the Panthers. These are newer teams. They don't

445
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: have the tradition of say Tennessee Football. So maybe you

446
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: root for an NFL team and that's cool, but maybe

447
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: you feel more of an emotional connection to the college

448
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: game because it's been there longer. There's more of a tradition.

449
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: Like if if you live in South Carolina, Dan, you

450
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: might be a Falcons fan, but I bet money that

451
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: you've got more more of an emotional connection to Clemson

452
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: or South Carolina. Yeah, and then when you factor in

453
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: the South, there's really a regional identity there that comes

454
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 1: into play. People from the South, they take pride in

455
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: being from the South and cheering on other teams that

456
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: are from the South. I think all that probably factors in.

457
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think cultural pride in terms of sports elsewhere

458
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 2: in the country. You know, the Midwest feels very professional

459
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 2: sports driven, as as the North certainly you know Michigan,

460
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 2: Ohio State, Penn State. There are really fun pockets of

461
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 2: enthusiasm regarding college football. But I don't think it's as ingrain.

462
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 2: You go to a place like Old miss or LSU

463
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 2: or Alabama, where there's you know it, just it feels

464
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 2: like it's more steeped in tradition, even if the tradition

465
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 2: sort of seems silly to the outside world and to

466
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 2: dumb dumbs from the north like ourselves, you know, rolling

467
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 2: the trees a Tumor's corner in Auburn. It's just there's

468
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 2: just something that's sort of woven into the culture that

469
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 2: just doesn't exist elsewhere. Doesn't make it better worse, it

470
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 2: just makes it unique.

471
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, And don't poison other people's things. Don't do that.

472
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: Don't do that.

473
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 2: That's just a general life thing that you should abide by.

474
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 2: Next question, we'll go to a different part of the country.

475
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 2: Abbott wants to know the MAC conference who you got

476
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 2: this yere tie? Because I got my answer. Ooh, you

477
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 2: know what's side? I'm on tie, I'm on h I'm

478
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 2: on the woodside.

479
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: That's right, baby. Yeah, give me Toledo. I desperately want

480
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: to call them the mud Hens, but I know that's

481
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: a minor league baseball team. I know that their real

482
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: name is the Rockets. But I am I am rooting

483
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: for this to be the year for Toledo and Logan Woodside,

484
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: official quarterback of the celebrable podcast.

485
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 2: Here is a genuine question I have. The Toledo Rocket

486
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 2: has no visible eyes because there is a mask on

487
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 2: the Spaceman mascot. How many college football mascots don't have

488
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 2: visible eyeballs because even the tree has eyeballs.

489
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: The tree, Yeah, the tree can see. Wow. I'm not

490
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: even sure I can name one off the downhead.

491
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's the unique element of that. I mean, there's

492
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 2: a school like Oklahoma where it's just sort of a

493
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 2: covered wagon coming out, but you still have people dressed

494
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 2: in a pair obviously of the West Virginia Mountaineer humans.

495
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 2: You have a live buffalo. You' all sorts of live

496
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 2: animals and mascots and costumes. But I would say, of

497
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 2: the costume mascots in which you can't see the person inside,

498
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 2: how many of those costumes don't have visible eyeballs?

499
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: Wow? I honestly got to think about it. I have

500
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: to think about it too. What I will say very

501
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: quickly in passing, I would much rather have a mascot

502
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: without eyes than a mascot with the eyes of the

503
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: Clemson Tiger, because that's just freaking spooky e ball. Yeah, yeah,

504
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't off the top of my head.

505
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: Can't think of one. All Right, we're gonna have to

506
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,719
Speaker 1: tell Yeah, we're both on the woodside. Okay, next topic.

507
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: Next topic. This comes up from Zach.

508
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on the legalization of sports gambling

509
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: across the country? Is a good or bad for college football?

510
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 2: I don't wager on college football. What are your thoughts, Tay,

511
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 2: I have no problem with this at all.

512
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: Okay, it's already going on, whether it's legal or not.

513
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: Grant that you could say that about a lot of

514
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: things that shouldn't be lee goal, But in this case,

515
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: I think if you could tax it, you could regulate it.

516
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: In other parts of the world, you literally have gambling

517
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: websites that sponsors sports teams. It doesn't need to be

518
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: an adversarial relationship between the league and the gambling entity.

519
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: The two things that I hear as the most common

520
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 1: arguments against legalized gambling is a some kind of moral

521
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: objection to gambling as a whole, not just sports gambling,

522
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: but just the act of doing so. I don't share

523
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: that point of view, but I'm not going to try

524
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: and convince people otherwise. It's a reasonable stance that people have.

525
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: The second one is more logistical, and I think it's

526
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: a myth. It's that legalized gambling or any gambling for

527
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: that matter, is going to lead to some kind of nefarious,

528
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: shady activity in sports, right point, shaving, game fixing, paying

529
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: off ress. That is not reality, because, as you know, Vegas,

530
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: Vegas leads the charge against this sort of thing all

531
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 1: the time. They know when something's up, they alert the

532
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: FBI other authorities that there might be a fix being

533
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: called in. So in many cases that's just not reality.

534
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: I think you can throw that argument out the window.

535
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: So I'm okay with it.

536
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 2: I'm mostly okay with it. It becomes a little strange

537
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 2: if you are believing in the antiquated notion of amateurism

538
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 2: that these are true student athletes and we shouldn't be

539
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 2: wagering on games they're playing, but enough people are making

540
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 2: money off of them. But I am generally okay. You

541
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 2: can already wager on college football games legally, whether it's

542
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 2: sort of the weird offshore stuff or you just go

543
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 2: to the state of Nevada, go to Las Vegas and gamble.

544
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 2: And it also feels to me that with football specifically,

545
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 2: and this is different for any number of sports that

546
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 2: could possibly be waged on like basketball. Easier to throw

547
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 2: a basketball game when you want to five people instead

548
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 2: of one of twenty two, twenty five, twenty seven people,

549
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: unless you're the quarterback, and that becomes sort of obvious

550
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 2: on a certain level. But I think I'm okay with

551
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 2: it at this point in twenty seventeen. I'm not sure

552
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 2: the direct harm it's going to do.

553
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: You can argue that Florida's quarterback has been throwing games

554
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: for the last two years, and how you still find

555
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: a way to play an SEC championship games.

556
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 2: So this is an email from or a tweet I

557
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 2: think from our friend Jake, who wants to know. Not surprisingly,

558
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 2: I know where he's going with this. When does a

559
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 2: team go from quote having success to quote elite college

560
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 2: football program. Oh, this is a very sports radio question, yes,

561
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 2: but it's early July and we will entertain such questions.

562
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 2: He is a Washington fan, so I assume he secretly

563
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 2: wants to know how far away is Washington from being

564
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 2: a quote elite college football program, A name that people

565
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 2: like Colin Cowherd eleven elite college football programs from Colin

566
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 2: cowhard but it blue blood, something that really that is

567
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 2: a clear elevating term of college football programs. Right now,

568
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 2: we have you know, whatever, eight to ten programs, whatever

569
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 2: it is. But I would say, and you can say

570
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 2: I'm wrong, the most recent team to make that ascension

571
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 2: is probably Oregon. They made the ascension. I don't know

572
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 2: if they still are right now, sure, but in making

573
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 2: the four straight BCS games and national title games, two

574
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 2: national title games and a Heisman, combined with the brand

575
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 2: that they were able to build nationally, with the attention

576
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 2: to uniforms and facilities and whatever, I felt like they

577
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 2: made the closest thing we've had recently to an ascension

578
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 2: to that blue blood level. Still don't know if they're

579
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 2: there now, but they made the ascension. So what do

580
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 2: you think it takes to climb up to being in

581
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 2: that sort of that cloud. I, By the way, the

582
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 2: Oregon example, I think is a good one.

583
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: I was going to use Clemson as sort of another example,

584
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: maybe not quite as drastic. They had won a national

585
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: championship before, Yeah, but Clemson has now gotten to a

586
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: point where year and in year out they are what

587
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: I would consider elite, whereas ten years ago that wasn't

588
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: quite the case. They've won ten or more game six

589
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: straight years. If I'm looking at this correctly, they've played

590
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: in eight postseason games if you count the playoffs, and

591
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: it looks like they've gone six and two, with a

592
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: national championship last year. The big thing for them is

593
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: recruiting has now reached a critical mass, and I think

594
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: that's the most important thing. You need to have success

595
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: on the field, which they've clearly had last six seasons.

596
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: You need to have success against prime competition, which they've

597
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: done in the offseason before a national audience. Because of that,

598
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: their recruiting has now reached a critical mass where they're

599
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: not quite Alabama, They're not quite getting whoever they want,

600
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: but they're getting there. The program has now started to

601
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: kind of recruit for itself, and I think that's the

602
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: X factor here in getting to elite status where you

603
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: can turn over a quarterback, you can turn over defensive

604
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: talent at all three levels of your defense and still

605
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: feel pretty good about being potentially a top five team

606
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: entering the following year.

607
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 2: Would I would say that there has to be some

608
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 2: sort of broader, big picture element to not just on

609
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 2: field success, but there has to be some sort of

610
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 2: brand association with your program. As a top of the

611
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 2: mountain program, and I think undeniably Clemson is there. I

612
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 2: think in having a high profile player like Deshaun Watson

613
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 2: Taj Boyd before him, you know, turning out NFL players,

614
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 2: becoming a program that like year in and year I like, oh,

615
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 2: I need to watch the Clemson Florida State game that

616
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 2: they sort of became must watch in their own way.

617
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 2: And I think, you know, Dabbo is just he's an

618
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 2: outsized personality, So there's the figurehead factor. I think Clemson

619
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 2: is there. What about a school like Penn State. M

620
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 2: like so Penn State historically is that program on the

621
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 2: field recently?

622
00:31:58,400 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: No?

623
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:04,719
Speaker 2: So would you group them because of both brand and

624
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 2: on field product right now?

625
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I wouldn't know.

626
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 2: Is there any team in the Big Ten outside of

627
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 2: Ohio State and Michigan.

628
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: I don't think there is, Probably not. No.

629
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 2: I think Nebraska was. I think Wisconsin's closer than people

630
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 2: realize in terms of the year in and year out brain.

631
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 2: Wisconsin has that brand of like the big burly offensive

632
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 2: lineman in the running game.

633
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: Whatever.

634
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson certainly helped it briefly in the Pac twelve.

635
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 2: Whatever you think of Oregon and basically USC Washington's problem

636
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 2: is they are so far removed geographically and there isn't

637
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 2: a ton of flash yet. I think they're going to

638
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 2: build on what they did last year this coming season.

639
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 2: I think there's a very good chance, with an excellent

640
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 2: coach and Chris Peterson, that they can reach the point

641
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: where they are just an understood West Coast power like

642
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 2: they were in the early nineties. But I think there's

643
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 2: a ways to go, okay, and I think Stanford is

644
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 2: secretly there.

645
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. Yeah, absolutely, which is crazy

646
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: to think about. Ty they're good. Who in the SEC?

647
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: Well Alabama obviously, I think LSU. I think they're one

648
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: hundred percent in that group.

649
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 2: That's it for me at Florida Florida Florida Shore. The

650
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 2: recent on field has been a disaster, but winning two

651
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 2: national championships in what the past eleven or twelve years,

652
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 2: pumping out a Heisman winner, the most polarizing player in

653
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 2: Tim Tebow perhaps of the past decade, twenty years.

654
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: Whatever.

655
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Florida Alabama LSU are in a tier

656
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 2: alone within the SEC. Hope it changes, hope more teams

657
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 2: are at it, but that's where I stand right now.

658
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 2: That's the sports radio question of the day. The second

659
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 2: part of his question is Tex Mex best of both

660
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:01,719
Speaker 2: worlds or culinary Frankenstein. I think he means Frankenstein's Monster. TI.

661
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna be specific. Sure, how do you feel

662
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: about text Mex. I'm fine with text Mex.

663
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 2: Are you being specific to text Mex or Mexican food?

664
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 2: There is a difference there.

665
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: There is a subtle difference, right, I'm no, I'm I'm

666
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 1: probably being more specific to Mexican food, but I have

667
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 1: to believe that text Mex isn't too much a departure

668
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: from that.

669
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 2: It's basically Mexican food, but with a layer of greasy,

670
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 2: orange yellow cheddar cheese. So that's fine. I'm fine. I've

671
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 2: been slow to it, but I've learned to appreciate it.

672
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 2: Queso cone cherizo, stuff like that.

673
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:40,439
Speaker 1: Wonderful. That's great.

674
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 2: It's a lot of enchiladas and fajidas. It's all good, all.

675
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: Right, So let me jump in here. What do you got?

676
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: Brett sent us a question that I thought was actually

677
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: very thoughtful, and he says, I have a question and

678
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: it concerns allowed scholarship quantities and teams losing players, wouldn't

679
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,280
Speaker 1: a team consistently quote losing a lot each year actually

680
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: be a sign of success in player development, where a

681
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 1: signing class gradually develops, moves up the ranks to become starters,

682
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: and then leaves as a class, then repeat and repeat.

683
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: I believe some would call this th reloading. Could you

684
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about player development versus player turnover? Dan?

685
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: This is a great question. It's an excellent point. His

686
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: implication is basically that turnover does not equate to a

687
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: team taking a step back necessarily necessarily right at this

688
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: point in the year, turnover is really one of the

689
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: few data points we have that can be predictive for

690
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: the coming season, right mm hmm. I think the X

691
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: factor here is coaching, and not just head coaches that

692
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 1: everyone knows about, but I'm talking coordinators, position coaches, strength coaches.

693
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: This is where the sausage gets made. So if you're

694
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,760
Speaker 1: going to tell me that Brett Venables has to rebuild

695
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: the defensive line, I feel a lot better about it

696
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: than if you tell me who Brian Van Gorder's got

697
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: to rebuild a defensive line.

698
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 2: Yes, new defensive line coach for Clemson.

699
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: Though, absolutely Yeah, But you understand the point. I think

700
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: this is where coaching really fills in a lot of

701
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: the gaps. If you do have a lot of turnover,

702
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: I feel a lot better about it and what it

703
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: means for your program moving forward. If I know you've

704
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: got someone who has historically developed that position.

705
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a context thing. If you're losing

706
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 2: players every year, it most likely means that you're sustaining

707
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 2: success and players are leaving early and you've developed players.

708
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 2: And I think the big thing with losing starters, it's

709
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 2: a bit of a misnomer because when you're a program

710
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 2: at Clemson, Ohio State, Alabama and you're winning games like

711
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 2: forty nine to fourteen, you're getting rotation players a ton

712
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 2: of playing time. And I think that's the sort of

713
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,720
Speaker 2: secret side is a lot of guys on these teams

714
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 2: are not stepping on the field for the first time,

715
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 2: even though they're technically quote first time starters. So they

716
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 2: get they get time as three four on the depth

717
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 2: chart into games, they get used to the game speed,

718
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 2: they get used to getting hit, they get used to

719
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 2: what the competition is like, and then they step in

720
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 2: and get more playing time. I also think defensive starters,

721
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 2: especially up front, replacing them if you're recruiting somewhat well.

722
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 2: Defense is much more about effort than it is necessarily precision,

723
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 2: like it is on offense, route running, understanding the timing

724
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 2: of playing offensive line, and if you get guys in

725
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 2: there who you know will be enthusiastic, you know who

726
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 2: will wrap up I mean tackling. You're basically fighting for

727
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 2: your life every play in a big conference if you're

728
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 2: a weak side linebacker with you know Darius Geist or

729
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 2: Royce Freeman or Christian McCaffrey coming at you. And if

730
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 2: you are able to play with sustained energy, it doesn't

731
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 2: matter as much that you're a first time starter. You

732
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 2: play with sustained energy because of good coaching, good preparation.

733
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 2: You're there, you're trained, you've had time perhaps as a

734
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 2: rotation player of the year before. So yes, teams that

735
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 2: year in and year out are replacing and reloading players.

736
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 2: It's a good problem to have, and they're probably recruiting well.

737
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 2: That said, there are certain programs where players leave every

738
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 2: year because they don't like it there, they don't like

739
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 2: the coaches. There's just turnover. That's a bad sign. But yes,

740
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,240
Speaker 2: I think it's sort of a misnomer, especially on defense

741
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 2: the number of returning starters, but offensive line starters is

742
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 2: a pretty nice metric.

743
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: I think, though. I have another question here for you

744
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: to hit me. What's the best mattress on the market today.

745
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: Please tell me it's Casper, because that's my feeling. It

746
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: is Casper. Have you taken years out of the box yet?

747
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 1: I have not. I know I've slept on a Casper

748
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 1: match before. I know it's more of a product. You

749
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: saw my apartment. There's not a lot of room. We've

750
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: got to figure out a situation. This is the road

751
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 1: to divorce. D In, you just got married. We're sleeping

752
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: all right. Well, I'll tell my story again because hundred

753
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 1: percent tru Casper was gracious enough to send us a

754
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: mattress to try out. I haven't sent it back. I

755
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: was having all sorts of issues with the old mattress

756
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: that we had back. Was bothering me, was waking up

757
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,240
Speaker 1: in the morning, my shoulder was dead, my hips felt

758
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: out of alignment, just a physical disaster, and not just

759
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: because I'm getting older. I started to realistically think that

760
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: I had something to do with the mattress, and so

761
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: I was in the market. They sent us a new one,

762
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: and I'm not kidding. It's been inside the one hundred

763
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: day grace period that they give you, and all of

764
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: those physical ailments have left me. In the morning, I

765
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,240
Speaker 1: feel like a million bucks. I'm sleeping better the solid

766
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: life Kate. She agrees that the old mattress was sort

767
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: of a problem that we didn't even realize until we

768
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: got Casper. Real world customers have said that it's like

769
00:39:52,560 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: sleeping on a brioch b r iocch. Is that brio brios? Yeah,

770
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: and spawn a very soft bread. Also like being cradled

771
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,720
Speaker 1: by the tinkling of baby laughter in the moonlight. Wow.

772
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: If you write that you are a special human being

773
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,439
Speaker 1: on a public website, but people have done it, people

774
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: feel very passionate about it. Dan, Casper will sell directly

775
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: to you. They eliminate the commission driven inflation prices. If

776
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: you go out to a a mattress place, it couldn't

777
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: be easier. You go online. They deliver it to your

778
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 1: door in a very compact box. It's a heavy box, Dan,

779
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: but it's a compact box.

780
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 2: It's great that they get it in there. It's incredible.

781
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:37,879
Speaker 1: It's magic. I don't know how they did it. Whether

782
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: you're in the United States, the UK, or Canada, they

783
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: offer free delivery, free returns, and like I said, a

784
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: one hundred night risk free trial period. They know how

785
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 1: important it is to truly sleep on a mattress before committing,

786
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 1: so they give you that one hundred day grace period

787
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: to check it out. And they say, hey, look, you

788
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 1: spend one third of your life on a mattress. You

789

00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 2: Asks our next question. This comes to us from a

796
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 2: gentleman named ty Oh. If Wyoming has another good year,

797
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 2: that's right, we're deep diving those cowboys.

798
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. Could Craig Boll.

799
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 2: Be looking at offers next year? Nebraska?

800
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: Possibly? All right? Now, rise, he spent a number of years. Right,

801
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: Let's let's pause for one second here. Okay, Craig Boll

802
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: was notable on our show last year, because.

803
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 2: Because when he is wearing a headset, his head has

804
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 2: the exact shape of the inside of the Oregon ow.

805
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: I didn't believe you until I saw it myself. But

806
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:03,280
Speaker 1: there is a congruence there. Why strike up? Yeah, it's incredible. Yes,

807
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,879
Speaker 1: So he of oval shaped head? Could he be looking

808
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:08,879
Speaker 1: at offers next year?

809
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 2: Dan something somebody who has been really really successful at infrastructure.

810
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 2: That's how you sustain success no matter what level. And

811
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 2: obviously had the success at North Dakota State finding you know,

812
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 2: diamonds in the rough, you know, developing an NFL quarterback,

813
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 2: perhaps two NFL quarterbacks with Josh Allen at Wyoming this year,

814
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 2: you know, turned Wyoming I think from four wins to

815
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 2: eight wins in a couple of years, went four to

816
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 2: two to eight whatever, and has built something pretty special.

817
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,399
Speaker 2: They beat Boise State last year in a wild game.

818
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 2: So obviously his time in Nebraska is interesting with a

819
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 2: coach that I don't think a lot of fans are

820
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,479
Speaker 2: fully behind at the moment for Nebraska. But I don't

821
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 2: think he would. I don't think Mike Riley would be

822
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 2: out after this year, even like a disastrous four and eight,

823
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 2: five and seven type campaign for the Huskers. I think

824
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 2: it would be a little while before Nebraska opens up,

825
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 2: but I could see perhaps a Big ten team if

826
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 2: Mark Dantonio were to retire, somebody like that, maybe taking

827
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 2: a chance. And I'm Illinois. If Lovey Smith doesn't work out,

828
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 2: but he's fifty nine and at a certain point, if

829
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 2: he's into his sixties, how likely is he going to

830
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 2: be to take a job that requires another So this

831
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 2: would be the third full rebuild from the ground up.

832
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:33,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not in my sixties time, okay,

833
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: fair enough, so I think it would be Yes.

834
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 2: If say, here's the question for somebody like Craig Bull

835
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 2: that he could step into and I think be successful

836
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 2: pretty quickly. What if Pete Carroll retires for the Seahawks

837
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 2: and they hire somebody I don't know who's already in

838
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 2: that city, like Chris Peterson, then I think his name

839
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 2: starts being floated for a huge job that's somewhat in

840
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 2: the region. I don't think Craig Bull would take like

841
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 2: Arkansas or Ole, miss I don't think there's the fit there.

842
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just it doesn't doesn't feel like a It

843
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like a good landing spot for me.

844
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 2: You know, right, and you know, maybe Wazoo. Maybe I

845
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 2: don't know, something opens up. Mike Cleach goes back to

846
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 2: the Southwest somewhere. But I think it was pretty happy

847
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 2: with Mike Leach. But you know, a job like that

848
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 2: I think would make a lot of sense.

849
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: Okay, I have a question here, please on a on

850
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 1: a much much different note. This one comes to us

851
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: from a gentleman who I think asks a very thoughtful

852
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: question college football related marriage. Right, oh oh, here we

853
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: go this it comes to some Chris, and he said

854
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,919
Speaker 1: that he struggled to watch as much college football as

855
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: he could when he was dating his wife. It was

856
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: always pressured to quote unquote do something on saturdays. Now

857
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: he's married, Now we bought a house. Does that mean

858
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: I'll be able to watch more college football? It's a

859
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: great question, hell of a question. I have lived this life,

860
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: don Chris. I have lived this life for the last

861
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 1: few college football seasons. This and only this is why

862
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: I started alerting people about the window of opportunity. Mm hmm,

863
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 1: all right, window of opportunity. Listen for it, live it.

864
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to continue doing it this season because Chris,

865
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: it's not about you anymore. Your wife. She's got her

866
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: right to enjoy a weekend too. The trick is getting

867
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: out ahead of things. The trick is trick is knowing

868
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday night or a Thursday morning, when you've

869
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: got the window to do the other things so as

870
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: to maximize the time on your Saturday you do have

871
00:45:54,800 --> 00:46:00,280
Speaker 1: to watch the best games at your disposal. Now working

872
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 1: in your favor, I think is the fact that you

873
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 1: just bought a house. Because if you bought a house,

874
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 1: you spend a lot of money. You and your missus

875
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: might be tightening the belt a little more cost conscious

876
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: cook in enjoy your Saturday inside your new home. That

877
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: could be your case, just to at a minimum keep

878
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 1: college trouble on in the background. But I think the

879
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: secret to really unlocking the optimal viewing experiences fall is

880
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: the window of opportunity, knowing in advance when you can

881
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: get out, when you can do those things that your

882
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: missus wants to do, and still be around to watch

883
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 1: the big games of the day.

884
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 2: I say, scrap Sunday entirely, open up your schedule every Sunday.

885
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 1: The NFL is trash. Just ignore it.

886
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,879
Speaker 2: Figure out really fun interesting date night plans. Friday night,

887
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 2: I think your window of opportunity, maybe be productive around

888
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,799
Speaker 2: the house, round the new house. Saturday morning, maybe only

889
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 2: half watch game day, quarter watch game day clean up.

890
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 2: In my very limited experience as a married person, tie

891
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 2: clean places makes everybody in a good mood.

892
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: Right? Does that sound reasonable? I believe so? Yah? Okay.

893
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 2: I would also say, if you've got a house, there's

894
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 2: a good shot you might have a new kitchen, a

895
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 2: new grill outside. I would figure out some sort of

896
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 2: cooking plan for the fall, Like let's experiment, let's let's

897
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 2: do barbecue stuff one week, let's maybe go healthy another week,

898
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 2: and sort of set a game plan. Football term tie

899
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 2: for that's like it's an activity that the two of

900
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 2: you can do together.

901
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: Invite people over.

902
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 2: Sometimes when people have a new house, they like they

903
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:32,439
Speaker 2: like celebrating, they like partying, they like having a good

904
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 2: time enjoying guests. Make those plans ahead of time. Yeah,

905
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 2: and say this fall, we're doing X, Y and Z

906
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 2: and in the morning Saturday mornings, we're cleaning. On Sunday,

907
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,439
Speaker 2: we're going for bike rides. You know all about that tie.

908
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 2: You probably have a score bottle. You're scoring all over

909
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 2: the place, right, absolutely, yeah, Yes, So the key is

910
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 2: to form a weekend plan and not just say every

911
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 2: Saturday IM watching football too bad? That I think is

912
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 2: the key. We have another question that's sort of tangential.

913
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:00,399
Speaker 1: To this as well.

914
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,919
Speaker 2: Oh, this is from our friend Dan, longtime listener. Yeah,

915
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:05,879
Speaker 2: and I think you're going to recuse yourself and that's

916
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 2: totally fine.

917
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: Okay, which question are we talking here?

918
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 2: Our friend Dan says, And this is tangential. At what

919
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 2: age can I stop going to my niece's birthday party?

920
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:15,839
Speaker 1: Oh?

921
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 2: I say five? At that point she can have a

922
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 2: party with her friends. Now, this can apply to college

923
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 2: football season, also applies the rest of the year. But

924
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 2: certainly if you are a grown person, if you're an adult,

925
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 2: spending a Saturday afternoon at a park with a bunch

926
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,919
Speaker 2: of three year olds five year olds who you don't

927
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 2: really know other than your relative may not be the

928
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 2: first or second or seventeenth choice you have for how

929
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 2: you're going to spend that weekend day. You've worked a

930
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:44,359
Speaker 2: long week. Maybe that's not the first thing you want

931
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 2: to be doing. But I recognize that there are solutions

932
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 2: and compromises to all problems, problems, and this isn't really

933
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:52,760
Speaker 2: a problem. This is your only problem.

934
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 1: Life is fine.

935
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 2: I would say, go out of your way to say,

936
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 2: oh wow, there's great college foot afternoon. The parties at one,

937
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 2: because generally little kid parties are in the afternoon, right,

938
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 2: they're not staying up late.

939
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: They're not right parties.

940
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 2: So they're in the morning, they're in the afternoon. Whatever,

941
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 2: it's great afternoon of college football. You say, no, I

942
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:15,879
Speaker 2: love my niece. I'm going early and I'm gonna I'm

943
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 2: gonna play basketball with her. I'm gonna have a tea

944
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 2: party with her. I'm gonna do something. Go out of

945
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 2: your way to say to get out ahead of it,

946
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 2: just like you were talking about preempt So maybe the

947
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,320
Speaker 2: parties called for one to four, and it's a princess party.

948
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,240
Speaker 2: There's some pizza, there's some ice cream cake. That's fine,

949
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 2: it's a good time. Go at twelve thirty. Maybe help

950
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:37,839
Speaker 2: set up, have someone on one time, enjoy yourself, take

951
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,839
Speaker 2: some pictures, take a selfie, give a big hug. Maybe

952
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 2: say listen, I'm gonna hang out for an hour because

953
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 2: I wanted to stay home, but like, no, this is

954
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,320
Speaker 2: important to me. I'm gonna hang out with Alison. She's great.

955
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 2: But then I'm gonna come back and watch football. I

956
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 2: think the key is in preempting TI show up, go

957
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 2: Friday night and hang out, then go Saturday morning a

958
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 2: little bit early, Go a little bit early, hang out,

959
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 2: show you care, but also preempt and schedule.

960
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I'm going to recuse myself of this one. Dan.

961
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 1: I know you are. I know you are. I've got

962
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 1: five nieces and nephews under the age of eight, and

963
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:13,439
Speaker 1: sure I love going to all their parties. It's it's

964
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 1: difficult for difficult for me to try and craft a

965
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 1: strategy to get out of them.

966
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 2: Oh I thought you were gonna say. I love going

967
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 2: to all of their parties. It is one of my

968
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,919
Speaker 2: favorite things to do in life. Family is number one.

969
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, I'm not reading. I'm not reading

970
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 1: off a script here. I'm tied blink three times. I'm

971
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 1: being very genuine. Okay, No, I know, I believe I'm

972
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: being very genuine here. Usually I feel like a jackass

973
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 1: when I show up and I'm in the corner watching watching.

974
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 1: Yes see, that's no good for anybody, right, I know,

975
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 1: but you know I do my best to try and

976
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: make both work. Obviously, are our circumstance here is a

977
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: little bit extreme in that we have to pay attention

978
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 1: to these games because what we do on Sunday mornings.

979
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: But I don't know, Dan, maybe like fifteen, maybe whenever

980
00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: they get too old for you to be cool. At

981
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: that point, can you can you stop going? But for

982
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: the meantime, I'm just I'm cool with going.

983
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 2: You don't give it that you don't What do you

984
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 2: think about this has not anything to do with your life.

985
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 2: What do you think about my strategy of preempting.

986
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,760
Speaker 1: I think it's very thoughtful. Yeah, I think it's very thoughtful.

987
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 1: I think it's important, especially in their formative years, that

988
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 1: you put the effort forth to let them know that

989
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 1: you care about their birthday. Sure, yeah, I think it's

990
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: a I think it's a good play if you could

991
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 1: pull it off, Dan and Dan uh, so be it.

992
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 2: I don't have the same problem because this is also

993
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 2: the day job, so correct Jody with and I knew before. Yeah,

994
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 2: like listen, Saturdays are our Dan workdays in the third person.

995
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:44,919
Speaker 2: But yes, I think the preemptive thing because I really

996
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 2: like Jody's family. I really like hanging out with them,

997
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 2: and they know the deal. So I make every effort

998
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 2: I can and it's honestly not that difficult. Okay, yeah,

999
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 2: that would be my strategy for Dan.

1000
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,800
Speaker 1: All right, where you want to go next? Let's go too.

1001
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 2: Oh, only a couple more questions. Uh sh Michigan State

1002
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 2: be worried about program stability because of a bad twenty

1003
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 2: sixteen Yeah?

1004
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:09,240
Speaker 1: Wow?

1005
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 2: What is your long term prospect for the Spartans? Are

1006
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 2: they in a good place? Obviously, they weren't built in

1007
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:20,399
Speaker 2: a number. You know, every team can't do what Alabama does.

1008
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:22,760
Speaker 2: Michigan State, are you worried?

1009
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 1: Ah, a little bit. Okay, it was a bad year

1010
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: for Michigan State, and there's a whole legal side to

1011
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 1: it that we won't get into that was particularly troubling.

1012
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 1: But as it relates to football three and nine last

1013
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 1: year with a relatively experienced team, and I think that's

1014
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 1: the rub because this year they're a lot less experienced

1015
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:51,439
Speaker 1: and probably ish a borderline bowl team. If all goes well,

1016
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: I think twenty eighteen is probably the year that they

1017
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 1: start making noise again. I'm not ready to start worrying now,

1018
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:03,359
Speaker 1: but if it's like a five and seven season and

1019
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: we don't see a lot of strides forward by the

1020
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 1: end of the year, I could see this being more

1021
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,800
Speaker 1: of a relevant talking point as we enter twenty eighteen.

1022
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: I think that's reasonable.

1023
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Michigan State has always been a team, and they've

1024
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 2: recruited as they've gotten better and have gone to Rose

1025
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 2: Bulls whatever, they've recruited better. You know, two and three

1026
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 2: stars became three and four stars, and that is a

1027
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 2: surefire indicator that the brand has come up. That Mark

1028
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:30,479
Speaker 2: D'Antonio and his staff, and even weathering some changes Paton

1029
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 2: or Dooosey going over to pitt they've still resonated with

1030
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 2: high school players. And you know, it's tough in the

1031
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 2: state of Michigan when you have such an outsized personality

1032
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 2: recruiting so well with Jim Harbaugh and Michigan, But I

1033
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 2: don't think they're in a horrible place. I think it's

1034
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:48,359
Speaker 2: so difficult to maintain eight nine, ten win eleven win

1035
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 2: seasons that you are due for a lull, You are

1036
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 2: due for a dut of a year. Maybe the players

1037
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 2: don't come together as well as other squads have. Maybe

1038
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 2: the coaches and players are on different pages, and you know,

1039
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:02,959
Speaker 2: everybody's at fault. When the season goes to the three

1040
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 2: and nine, four and eight, two and ten level. So

1041
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 2: I'm not selling on Michigan State. I still think there's

1042
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 2: a lot there. Marked Antonio is not somebody who I

1043
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:14,839
Speaker 2: think a lot of smart people will continue to underestimate.

1044
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 2: But I think it's it's fair to sort of recalibrate

1045
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 2: expectations with Michigan State's future.

1046
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna go rapid fire here. Let's do

1047
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 1: it around the questions that we haven't address yet. What

1048
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 1: is your favorite non sports video game? Dan tiger Wood's Golf?

1049
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 1: How dare you non sports? Street Fighter two Turbo? All right,

1050
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:39,840
Speaker 1: I'll go Mario Kart. I love the Mario or anything

1051
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 1: in which I get to fly a plane or a

1052
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: spaceship around and shoot at things. Mario Kart for which

1053
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 1: system currently? The switch is pretty cool? Oh you got

1054
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 1: the switch? I have the switch? Yeh? You like it?

1055
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 1: I like Mario Kart on it.

1056
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm an N sixty four Mario Kart guy.

1057
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 1: But that's okay. Question here about the Big Twelve. We

1058
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: had a question about Texas and if they're going upset

1059
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,320
Speaker 1: anybody this year, if they'll be better. Also had another

1060
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: question regarding the Big Twelve. Will we see three two

1061
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: loss teams in the Big Twelve, which I think is

1062
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 1: an interesting question, you know, because Oklahoma has to replace

1063
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 1: a lot Oklahoma states a liability because of the defense.

1064
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,399
Speaker 1: The TC is still as Kenny Hill. So I think

1065
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: the answer is yes, absolutely, you could see three four

1066
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: teams with two losses in Big Twelve.

1067
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:29,360
Speaker 2: There's nobody I'm putting my foot down for in the

1068
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 2: Big Twelve right now, maybe outside of Oklahoma, but not

1069
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 2: even positive about that. I think it's going to be

1070
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 2: a wild year in the Big Twelve. And I'm going

1071
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:37,879
Speaker 2: to stand by what I said a few weeks ago

1072
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 2: when we last talked about this. The team Texas has

1073
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:43,959
Speaker 2: the best chance of upsetting, so somebody that's probably ranked

1074
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 2: in the top fifteen or twenty based on circumstance early

1075
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 2: in the year. I would have liked it better for

1076
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:51,319
Speaker 2: one or week two. But USC has Stanford the week

1077
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,879
Speaker 2: before Texas. I think that's not a great body blow

1078
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 2: spot for the Trojans, who don't have a week off

1079
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 2: all year, but especially early on, I think that may

1080
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 2: be the spot, especially given Tom Herman and his ability

1081
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:05,720
Speaker 2: to lead teams to upsets over more talented teams.

1082
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:10,400
Speaker 1: In September, let's go back to Abbott, please, He's a

1083
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:14,799
Speaker 1: true patriot for asking this question. He's talking about sandwiches. Dan,

1084
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 1: I'm ready a topic near and dear to your heart.

1085
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 1: His dream is to one day open a sandwich shop.

1086
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 1: If you had a sandwich named after you, what would

1087
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,840
Speaker 1: it be or what would be in it? Anything goes

1088
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 1: I you know, it is an interesting question. Mine would

1089
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 1: obviously be the Big Hog. I think that goes without saying.

1090
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: But I just if you had a sandwich shop, what

1091
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:39,320
Speaker 1: would be your strategy for naming the sandwiches in your shop?

1092
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 2: I'd probably name them after comedians, actors, maybe friends. My

1093
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 2: specific sandwich would be called the dan Witch, obviously. Sure,

1094
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 2: we're talking about roast turkey, spicy soaper soda, maybe a

1095
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 2: spicy aoli, a spicy Mao sai of some kind.

1096
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: A donkey sauce.

1097
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, please never say that again on this show. Thinly

1098
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 2: sliced lettuce like Razor Razor Razor.

1099
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:05,319
Speaker 1: Thin.

1100
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 2: The thinner the lettuce is sliced, the better. We're talking

1101
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 2: dill pickle slices and probably some mustard and an option

1102
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 2: to get a side of Marinera to dip in.

1103
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 1: Not tomatoes, anything but tomatoes for you, anything but tomatoes.

1104
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 2: So I'm going with that spicy sour crisp combination, probably

1105
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 2: on a some sort of like french bag at French Roll.

1106
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 1: Okay, I think it'd be fun to name sandwiches after

1107
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 1: older or obscure college football players. Okay, so who stands

1108
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 1: out to you? I mean, nobody stands out to me

1109
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 1: per se. But if I could go into a sandwich

1110
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 1: shop and order the knit bowlcar, that'd be pretty fun.

1111
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 2: I think you just got to go last name the

1112
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 2: best old last names, like the Entman after Steve Enttman

1113
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 2: would be great.

1114
00:57:55,080 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 1: Okay, let's go to only only Lineman. All Okay, that works? Yea.

1115
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 1: Along the lines of food, what is the most overrated

1116
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 1: food in the most overrated food? My answer is sushi.

1117
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 2: I disagree with them, not a sushi fan at all.

1118
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 2: Overrated food. Burgers, Yeah, I love burgers, but they're fine.

1119
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 1: All right? Another food question, what is the best tailgate food?

1120
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 1: And then also a question here about what is the

1121
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,920
Speaker 1: proper duration for a tailgate? What's the best time to tailgate?

1122
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: A bunch in here, let me talk about the time

1123
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: to tailgate. I think the best kickoff for a tailgate

1124
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 1: is a three point thirty game, because with you, you

1125
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 1: know you're not peer pressured into getting there early. And

1126
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 1: if drinkings your thing, cracking one open at eight am,

1127
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 1: you've got time to do that if you're interested. You've

1128
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 1: also got time to get yourself in the proper headspace

1129
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 1: before a game starts, and there's probably enough time to

1130
00:58:56,200 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 1: come back afterwards and toss the pigskin around, talk the

1131
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 1: game through with some of your buddies. So three thirty

1132
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 1: for me is the is the proper kickoff time for

1133
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: a good tailgate. As for the best food at a tailgate,

1134
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 1: maybe I'm biased because of my Pennsylvania roots, but a

1135
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 1: good cheese steak sure at a tailgate girl, Absolute peppers

1136
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 1: and onions, some Amorosa rolls, That's where it's at for me.

1137
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 2: I think you're right on ty. I think the three

1138
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:26,160
Speaker 2: thirty thing is right. You can get there as earlier

1139
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 2: as late as you want. If you want to be

1140
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:29,440
Speaker 2: there in the morning just chilling out. If you want

1141
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 2: to get there at noon or one and just eat

1142
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 2: and go into the stadium also workable. The keys to

1143
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 2: good tailgate food, I've tailgated at probably thirty five or

1144
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 2: forty places. Now, you want a delivery vehicle and you

1145
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 2: want structural integrity, so that by that I mean some

1146
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 2: sort of Doughey something with meat inside. So whether it's tortillas,

1147
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 2: whether it's bread, whether it's rolls, whatever, and you don't

1148
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 2: want something that's going to fall apart on you. So

1149
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 2: barbecue is great. Give me the brisket and a sandwich,

1150
00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:02,240
Speaker 2: me the sausage into tortilla, Give me something. Give me

1151
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 2: you want peeda, bread with pulled pork and slow whatever. Wonderful.

1152
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:07,959
Speaker 2: That's a great idea. I don't want to be using

1153
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 2: forks and knives. I don't want to get my hands

1154
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 2: crazy dirty if I'm reaching for beers, if I'm reaching

1155
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 2: for cookies, if I'm throwing a football around, if I'm

1156
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:17,960
Speaker 2: playing cornhole. I want a delivery vehicle, and I want

1157
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:21,919
Speaker 2: structural integrity. So to me, the greatest possible tailgate food

1158
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 2: would be like brisket tacos. You're mixing the South, you're

1159
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 2: mixing the West coast. Nothing better than that. Get some

1160
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 2: pico de gayo, get some salsa, Get whatever you need.

1161
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 2: Brisket tacos, some some hot corn tortillas.

1162
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 1: You're in a great place. Somebody asked us for an

1163
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 1: under the radar pac twelve school to go and tailgate

1164
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 1: and watch a game under the radar. Pac twelve.

1165
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 2: Washington's really fun, but they themselves as a team are

1166
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:48,040
Speaker 2: not under the radar because it's on a lake. Stanford

1167
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 2: is very chill and you'll get to watch good football.

1168
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,439
Speaker 2: But in terms of having a fun atmosphere, at least

1169
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 2: early on in the season if they're not terrible, Arizona

1170
01:00:57,440 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 2: is really fun. Tucson's out of the way, and I

1171
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 2: hope that better this year, but good food options ample spacing.

1172
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 2: Tucson itself is fun as a town. It's pretty hot,

1173
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:09,920
Speaker 2: so they have their games at night, so it's a

1174
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 2: later game. The clientele tie attractive. Yeah, I've heard a

1175
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 2: lot of attractive men and women going to Arizona games,

1176
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 2: so it's a good time. I would say under the radar.

1177
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 2: My answer is Arizona.

1178
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 1: All right. I got a question here. Will we ever

1179
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: see a team of college football that subscribes to the

1180
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 1: never punt philosophy?

1181
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 2: I wish, but no, there are too many people second

1182
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 2: guessing and questioning, boosters, assistants, you know, presidents, whatever. It's

1183
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 2: a great strategy. I think we're going to get closer

1184
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:41,400
Speaker 2: to that. I think teams will be more mathematically sound

1185
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 2: about going forward on fourth down on the opponent's side

1186
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 2: of the field. But no, the never punt philosophy, I

1187
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 2: don't think we'll make.

1188
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 1: It's too it's too risky in a profession coaching that

1189
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 1: has too much turnover and too much money. I don't

1190
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 1: even think it's risky.

1191
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 2: I think the math is generally on the side of

1192
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 2: somebody doing that, but it's risky in terms of people

1193
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 2: understanding what you're doing.

1194
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 1: All right, rank these four vacation spots DAN beach, a

1195
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 1: foreign country, a city, and the mountains.

1196
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:16,640
Speaker 2: Foreign country city, beach mountains.

1197
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm writing these down. I've got I'm gonna go

1198
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 1: beach Foreign Foreign beaches are great. Yeah, if we could

1199
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: get like a merger of the two, that'd be cool.

1200
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 1: I'll go beach, foreign country city, and then the mountains. Fourth.

1201
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 2: Next year, we're doing a live show in Barcelona. We're

1202
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 2: gonna get ties some harmon beautiful. All right, let's close

1203
01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 2: out on this, Dan, We've covered most of them. We

1204
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 2: couldn't get to the hipster team, we couldn't get to

1205
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 2: lost rivalries and bringing back all the alumnuses and or

1206
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 2: alumni as it's known.

1207
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 1: Somebody wanted to know about the single moment of joy.

1208
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 1: I like this question, really cool question from Matt. He said,

1209
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:06,000
Speaker 1: what single moment defines the official start of college football

1210
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,160
Speaker 1: for each of you? The first kickoff? First course, so

1211
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:12,480
Speaker 1: headgear pick your team's first game. Further, what single moment

1212
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 1: do you look forward to every Saturday in the fall.

1213
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:19,200
Speaker 1: What's that little moment that still brings you all so

1214
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 1: much joy after all of these years?

1215
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 2: Two parter ty and I'm sure you have an answer. Yeah,

1216
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 2: first one, waking up that first Saturday morning, that first

1217
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 2: Saturday morning, and it's not about your own team and

1218
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 2: the hope that you have for the fall. It's just saying,

1219
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 2: this is the first Saturday morning of the college football season,

1220
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 2: and that's the greatest thing ever. Let me get some breakfast,

1221
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 2: let me turn on game day, let me just get

1222
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:44,400
Speaker 2: in this moment. So that's the one A, one B

1223
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 2: is when your team lines up for the first kickoff,

1224
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 2: either kicking it off or receiving that moment of just

1225
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 2: like here is the potential energy of the season that's

1226
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 2: about to get kinetic science terms.

1227
01:03:57,160 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 1: Okay, for me, about you? For me, it's course in

1228
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 1: the head gear Yeah, it's it's super fun. You know what,

1229
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 1: It's been tried and true, and maybe it's a bit

1230
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 1: tried at this point, but it's never not amusing for me.

1231
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 1: I always smile. I always chuckle when I see it.

1232
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 1: And also on the flip side, also on game day,

1233
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:22,160
Speaker 1: the cheese at real fan cam. Beyond that Rinaldi making

1234
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 1: me cry. Sure, I think it was Jimmy V who

1235
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 1: once said that you should laugh and cry every day.

1236
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 1: That's a full one. So it's a full Saturday if

1237
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 1: you get the laughter of the head gear and then

1238
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 1: the crying from either Ronaldi or Notre Dame's defense one

1239
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:37,440
Speaker 1: or the other.

1240
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 2: Here's my one c The first time I hear Dan Tye,

1241
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:47,720
Speaker 2: I need picks of the week. That's all in a

1242
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 2: special moment, and that's one hundred percent true. When I

1243
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 2: hear that for the first time, I think to myself,

1244
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 2: all right, let's do this.

1245
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 1: I will be jazzed up for that first first previous

1246
01:04:57,040 --> 01:05:00,120
Speaker 1: show that we do. Sure, one hundred percent, I always do.

1247
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:01,160
Speaker 1: I always get pumped up for that.

1248
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 2: You know what bums me out about game day being

1249
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 2: that moment though, is coming.

1250
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:06,440
Speaker 1: To your sit Hey.

1251
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,120
