<v Speaker 1>nice eight well here at the house. So yeah, very

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>uneventful fourth for us. Hope everyone out there had a

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 1>good holiday weekend. We've got a fun show ahead of

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:31.400
<v Speaker 1>us here this evening. What we've been trying to do

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 1>once a month is answer questions. And I could say

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:41.680
<v Speaker 1>undeniably that after you put out the call on Facebook

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 1>and Twitter and lord knows wherever else to get some

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 1>questions into the inboxes that we had only Yeah, yeah,

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>we had an unbelievable outpouring of questions. You can tell

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 1>that people are getting a little antsy for the season

0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>to start.

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Dan correct, Yes, and a wide array of questions too,

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 2>both college ball, non college football. Went to some weird places,

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.280
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of food questions, got a lot of

0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 2>life questions. So we're gonna go mostly college football, but

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 2>I think we're gonna we'll sprinkle in some good life questions.

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 2>I think that's reasonable.

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.639
<v Speaker 1>We'll do our best to sprinkle in a couple housekeeping

0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>notes before we go any further, though, First and foremost,

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 1>because people have asked, and because we've been teasing this

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.799
<v Speaker 1>now for weeks for months on end. Dan and I

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 1>are planning to do a live Fantasy Things draft at

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>some point next month in New York City. That quote

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.920
<v Speaker 1>unquote some point has been narrowed a little bit to

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:42.919
<v Speaker 1>either August fifth or August twelfth, both are Saturdays. We're

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 1>still working to firm up the date, still working to

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:47.799
<v Speaker 1>firm up the time and the location. But as soon

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 1>as we have that information, as soon as we have

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:54.119
<v Speaker 1>more information about tickets and other particulars, will be sure

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 1>to pass that along to you. But if you're going

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 1>to be in the area one of those two weekends,

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 1>or if you can be in the area one of

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:03.280
<v Speaker 1>those two weekends, just wanted to give you an early

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 1>heads up that that's what we're thinking. We will absolutely

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 1>make it worth your while and provide more details as

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 1>they are available, but for the time being anyway, Dan,

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 1>that's that's what it's looking like, right.

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 2>Yes, this is correct. We will have a proctor for

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Is that the right word that we should be looking for?

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.079
<v Speaker 1>I like it.

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Proctor is a fun word. It may be our pal

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Ryan Nanny. So I hope that it's encouraging even more

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 2>so for people to come out. Well, the tickets will

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 2>be very cheap, just to sort of cover our costs.

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.400
<v Speaker 2>I already tried to recruit our pal Adam Amine, come

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 2>into New York from Chicago. Turned down, turned down. He

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 2>wanted to make it, but he will not be in

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 2>New York in early to mid August, at least as

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 2>of right now. If he is, we will kidnap him

0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 2>and force him to use his professional skills for free.

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 2>But it's going to be a really fun time. So

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 2>we'll have that early to mid August, and there's going

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.120
<v Speaker 2>to be really good barbecue and drinks and everything like

0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 2>that available to purchase and have fun with. We'll hang

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 2>around as long as anybody wants us to hang around,

0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 2>to try and say nice things about your teams. And

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 2>we're going to try to release shirts this month. Yeah,

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 2>that's a fun thing. And the place that people can

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:16.160
<v Speaker 2>find out about shirts and those little tickets for our

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.680
<v Speaker 2>live show ahead of everybody else would.

0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Be that would be the newsletter, which you can find

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.440
<v Speaker 1>if you go on out to solidverbal dot com. We've

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 1>added it to our main menu. Good. We also have

0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 1>not sent out a newsletter in a while. We had

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 1>a gentleman ask us, hey, where's the newsletter? I haven't

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.279
<v Speaker 1>seen it. We haven't sent it. It's more of an

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.599
<v Speaker 1>in season thing. Yeah, more of an in season thing.

0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 1>But we tend to send out the bat signal for

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 1>things like this. We haven't sent it out yet. Keep

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 1>subscribing if you want more information on all of that

0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.360
<v Speaker 1>fine stuff. And then the final thing I'll bring up

0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:51.240
<v Speaker 1>just because I actually thought it was a cool idea

0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 1>and it wasn't ours. A gentleman came to us let

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.720
<v Speaker 1>us know that he's planning on starting the Solidverbal subreddit.

0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure I have no c how any of

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.560
<v Speaker 1>the stuff works, but he asked, He asked if we

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:05.279
<v Speaker 1>could put out a call for people who are interested

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>in helping, so we will hook you up with him

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 1>on Twitter if you're interested in and be a part

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:12.360
<v Speaker 1>of that little community.

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Every time I go on, by the way, every time

0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.600
<v Speaker 2>I go on the college football subreddit and just to

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.719
<v Speaker 2>see news and stories and everything like that, occasionally somebody

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 2>will say, what's a good college football podcast to listen to?

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.200
<v Speaker 2>And there are always links, and invariably we get brought

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.719
<v Speaker 2>up with a number of other really good podcasts like

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:33.080
<v Speaker 2>podcasting Play Nobody in the Shutdown full Cast, and people

0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.240
<v Speaker 2>generally have nice things to say, and sometimes people say

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.799
<v Speaker 2>I like it, but Dan's kind of annoying, which means

0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.800
<v Speaker 2>college football Subreddit really gets our show. Yeah, they really

0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 2>get our essence. So we love the college football community

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 2>on Reddit.

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:47.279
<v Speaker 1>They're good people.

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Reddit can be lit dicey, but the college football crew

0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:51.960
<v Speaker 2>is pretty fun.

0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Agreed. I go a couple times a day. We love

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>the site. Nice. On that note, Dan, congratulations, Skippy, you've

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 1>got mail, You've got on the solid verbal. As often

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 1>as we can, we like to pay homage to those

0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:11.520
<v Speaker 1>of you who tweet, who Facebook, who Instagram, who snapchat,

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.920
<v Speaker 1>who email into soliverble at gmail dot com. If you

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.359
<v Speaker 1>find some way, somehow to get in touch with us, now,

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:21.400
<v Speaker 1>let us know the burning questions that you have. There's

0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:23.679
<v Speaker 1>a good chance this could be our very last one,

0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.680
<v Speaker 1>at least for a while. We try to sprinkle in

0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:31.080
<v Speaker 1>questions as we progress forward. But we've got a bunch

0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.800
<v Speaker 1>of cool shows coming up. We've got our How Recruiting

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Work Show, Come on Man, currently in production. We've got

0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.560
<v Speaker 1>our show with Bill Barnwell, Our Mystery Show with Bill Barnwell,

0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:42.479
<v Speaker 1>the Bonus episode, and then we've got our History of

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:45.160
<v Speaker 1>soliverbal Show that's going to round out the month of

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 1>July a little bit later on this month before we

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 1>get into previews. So I'm not saying, but I'm saying,

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.800
<v Speaker 1>there's a good chance that there are some questions that

0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.640
<v Speaker 1>won't get answered. This is the true, which means we've

0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.720
<v Speaker 1>got a rifle through these dan Is as quickly as

0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>we can.

0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 2>We've had a couple of people ask a similar question.

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.280
<v Speaker 2>It just makes sense to start with this. We are

0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.680
<v Speaker 2>recording this on July sixth, so right after the fourth

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.720
<v Speaker 2>of July, right after you know, people getting together and

0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 2>having fun with family and friends and celebrating the holiday.

0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:18.880
<v Speaker 2>That's when it seems for some people, attention starts turning

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.200
<v Speaker 2>to college football and people are getting antsy. Does this

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 2>make you antsy now that it's just sort of baseball

0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 2>left before college football season? Because I'm not yet antsy.

0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:31.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm really excited, but I don't start really getting antsy

0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:34.040
<v Speaker 2>until like a week or two before. I tend to

0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 2>try to enjoy summer because I live in a cold

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 2>place filled with trash, and the summer is one of

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 2>the few times where I get to enjoy something different.

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Antsie would be the wrong way to characterize it. In general,

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't get anty or anxious for a lot of

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:50.680
<v Speaker 1>things in life. But what I would say, I'm reminded

0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 1>of that scene in Apollo thirteen where the world's getting

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 1>awfully big in the window, and that's kind of how

0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 1>I feel about the college football season. I can see

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.240
<v Speaker 1>it fast approaching. We've planned out what our shows are

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:05.360
<v Speaker 1>going to look like over the next couple weeks and months,

0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 1>and it's glaringly obvious that it's starting to get in

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.240
<v Speaker 1>the crunch time where I'm going to have to cram

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of previews, start putting together preview content and

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 1>all that kind of stuff. So yeah, not there yet,

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:19.640
<v Speaker 1>but I'll be here soon enough.

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:23.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, first question I have here is from it looks

0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:26.640
<v Speaker 2>like Will Will wants to know, as I look at

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:30.120
<v Speaker 2>my my sheet, based on preseason expectations alone, what's the

0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.560
<v Speaker 2>best week of college football this year? I have a

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 2>week picked out. I don't know if you picked out

0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:36.080
<v Speaker 2>a week today you had a busy day.

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:41.280
<v Speaker 1>I have actually done research for this question, but not

0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:46.160
<v Speaker 1>breaking news in the build up to tonight's show, Right,

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:49.720
<v Speaker 1>So I have a week in mind that may involve

0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame Georgia. Ok That may involve Auburn Clemson, that

0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:57.960
<v Speaker 1>may involve Oklahoma Ohio State. By the way, all three

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:01.360
<v Speaker 1>of those games at night. I'm thank you College football

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Week two.

0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you like that big number two, don't you.

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I like that crooked number, Dan, give me number two. Yes,

0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.120
<v Speaker 1>number two is actually surprisingly good this year.

0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:11.840
<v Speaker 2>A lot of time you have the fall off after

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 2>exciting non conference non home and home. But you know,

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:19.319
<v Speaker 2>neutral site week ones, and there's some really sneaky good

0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.720
<v Speaker 2>week ones. I think app State Georgia is week one,

0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:25.800
<v Speaker 2>and that app State defense is fun and dangerous. And

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 2>you have Alabama Florida State at night, and A and

0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 2>m Ucla on Sunday, West Virginia Virginia Tech, Tennessee, Georgia Tech, whatever,

0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 2>there's some fun of week one. I think you're right

0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 2>on with Week two. I have earmarked right here, though

0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:40.640
<v Speaker 2>ty week eight. I went through a bunch of weeks

0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:44.120
<v Speaker 2>week gate. As of right now in early July, you've

0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 2>got a fun Thursday night game Memphis and Houston. I

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 2>think at the very least that looks like it'll be

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 2>fun even without Tom Herman. Yes, I think we got

0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.240
<v Speaker 2>fun new offensive coordinator from Memphis. It's chipped long over

0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:56.880
<v Speaker 2>to Notre Dame.

0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:57.560
<v Speaker 1>That's correct.

0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:02.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Okay, you have Wyami Wyam, Wyoming, Boise State, two

0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:05.400
<v Speaker 2>really good quarterbacks. Josh Allen may be in a very

0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:08.520
<v Speaker 2>NFL E place by then with a lot of hype. Louisville,

0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 2>Florida State, Tennessee, Bama, Auburn, Arkansas, North Carolina, Virginia Tech

0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:16.920
<v Speaker 2>see two new quarterbacks, lsu Ole, miss Oklahoma, Kansas State

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 2>who is expected to be a good deal better this year,

0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma State, Texas could be sneaky fun, Oregon, Ucla, we

0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:26.360
<v Speaker 2>don't know what to expect, Penn State, Michigan and USC

0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame.

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:31.280
<v Speaker 2>So I've got a lot of good, if not interesting

0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:35.280
<v Speaker 2>quarterback play, a lot of unknowns with you know, Brandon Wimbush,

0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.200
<v Speaker 2>with what Michigan's offense is going to look like by then,

0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.840
<v Speaker 2>what Texas's offense under Tom Herman's going to look like,

0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:42.800
<v Speaker 2>what Lincoln Riley and Oklahoma. I guess we have a

0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:47.000
<v Speaker 2>good idea. But there's it's a heavy deep week.

0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Last year, Week one in Week three were loaded. Yes,

0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:57.240
<v Speaker 1>this year it's a very top heavy schedule again in

0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.439
<v Speaker 1>that we've got some good weeks to start off the

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.560
<v Speaker 1>college of season. Week one isn't nearly as loaded as

0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:05.320
<v Speaker 1>it's been the last two seasons. Week three, I don't

0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.560
<v Speaker 1>think nearly as loaded as it was a year ago.

0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Week two here's what you got again, those three games

0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:13.800
<v Speaker 1>at night Auburn, Clemson, Indie, Georgia, Oklahoma, Ohio State. You've

0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:20.720
<v Speaker 1>also got Iowa, Iowa State, l Aciko, the Holy War

0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>and BYU, Utah Pitt Penn State, Nebraska, Oregon, Boise, Washington

0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:28.679
<v Speaker 1>State late at night Minnesota, Oregon State, which is interesting,

0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:35.360
<v Speaker 1>TCU Arkansas, Stanford, USC and Louisville North Carolina. So good.

0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:40.040
<v Speaker 1>A good spectrum of games, nice depth of matchups there.

0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:42.839
<v Speaker 1>Week is pretty solid though, too, so Week two and

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:43.840
<v Speaker 1>week eight is the answer.

0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Will This is from Quinn the Day, which is not

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.520
<v Speaker 2>as accurate because when the day doesn't exist for Oregon anymore.

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.200
<v Speaker 2>This is our friend Quinn, who is the best freshman

0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:56.320
<v Speaker 2>or sophomore quarterback in the country that nobody is talking about,

0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 2>and he, of course says Justin.

0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Herbert is his pick. TI. Do you have a freshman

0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:05.320
<v Speaker 1>or sophomore quarterback? Does a red shirt sophomore count here?

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 2>I'll count a red shirt sophomore if if they either

0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 2>played somewhat last year, it started last year, whatever the

0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 2>case may be, that you know, perhaps is floating a

0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:15.079
<v Speaker 2>little bit under the radar.

0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Daniel Jones, I've been talking about him all oft for Duke. Yeah,

0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:23.400
<v Speaker 1>it's a good pick around college football.

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Sam Darnold obviously on the radar, but he himself a

0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:31.319
<v Speaker 2>red shirt sophomore. Around college football as a whole, there's

0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:31.880
<v Speaker 2>not too.

0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Many of them. Eric Dungee another name I've mentioned. I

0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:36.880
<v Speaker 1>think you do like Lee falls in this category.

0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:41.199
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Hurts is not under the radar by any stretch,

0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.400
<v Speaker 2>but I think he has been discounted a little bit

0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 2>because of how he finished the season. And I am

0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:49.560
<v Speaker 2>looking forward and people are already saying he's being pushed

0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:51.800
<v Speaker 2>by the true freshman who came in early to tagle

0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:55.880
<v Speaker 2>the Tagaailoa from Hawaii. But Jalen Hurts I feel like

0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:59.719
<v Speaker 2>has attention, but we may be under rating him a

0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.120
<v Speaker 2>little bit with how successful he was as a true

0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:03.200
<v Speaker 2>freshman in that system.

0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.640
<v Speaker 1>So okay, But then the question was that no one

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.920
<v Speaker 1>is talking about I gave you Eric Dungee and Daniel Jones.

0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.719
<v Speaker 1>So far, you've given me Sam Darnold and Jayley hurts Dan.

0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:12.480
<v Speaker 1>This is true.

0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:14.920
<v Speaker 2>This is undeniably true.

0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:17.360
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say Keller Chris, But Keller Chris is

0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.360
<v Speaker 2>a senior. He to me feels a little bit under

0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.160
<v Speaker 2>the radar because of his injury elsewhere.

0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:27.680
<v Speaker 1>How about Alex Hornybrook, that's pretty good. He's all right, yeah,

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.839
<v Speaker 1>game manager, but you know he'll win games for you.

0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.880
<v Speaker 2>How's that help to lead them to the Big ten title?

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Game?

0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:36.679
<v Speaker 2>Came up a little bit short, but still still sort

0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:38.720
<v Speaker 2>of fun. I don't know if there's freshmen coming in

0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 2>that I'm very excited about. Would you count Brandon Wimbush.

0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.800
<v Speaker 2>He's not under the radar, but do you think he is?

0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.320
<v Speaker 2>I like him a lot. I like I would not

0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:51.480
<v Speaker 2>count him. I would not count him for this, But

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.920
<v Speaker 2>I like Wimbush an awful lot. I think he's going

0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:58.160
<v Speaker 2>to be really solid in that system for Notre Dame.

0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.199
<v Speaker 2>And I think in an era where you've got a

0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:05.520
<v Speaker 2>lot of guys transferring out because of lack of playing time,

0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Wimbush right now looks like the evil genius who played

0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:12.720
<v Speaker 2>his long con just right. Because the heiser Zaire thing

0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.440
<v Speaker 2>went down last year, both are now gone and he

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.800
<v Speaker 2>gets to play a year earlier than expected. I've got

0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.600
<v Speaker 2>two guys that are one hundred percent under the radar

0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:25.240
<v Speaker 2>at this moment. Who I believe either red shirted or

0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:27.440
<v Speaker 2>didn't play a ton last year because of injury one

0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.080
<v Speaker 2>and they both might not win the starting job at

0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:32.000
<v Speaker 2>their school. So I better get this in right now.

0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Jarrett Guarintano at Tennessee Tennesseeah. Really liked his high school tape.

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 2>I know that doesn't mean a whole lot, but I

0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:41.160
<v Speaker 2>like his skill set a whole bunch, and I think

0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 2>coming into a system that does have some momentum offensively,

0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:46.960
<v Speaker 2>it could be really nice for him. I like his

0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.800
<v Speaker 2>talent a lot. Also, he was super young last year.

0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:52.120
<v Speaker 2>My second pick, Khalil Tait at Arizona.

0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, he was.

0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:56.320
<v Speaker 2>A little thin, got hurt, but is We'll see if

0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:58.680
<v Speaker 2>he can develop as a passer, he becomes very dangerous.

0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.600
<v Speaker 2>But he is an electric athlete and you know, sort

0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:04.520
<v Speaker 2>of in the vein of maybe like a like a

0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Pat White, you know, sort of not scrawny but lean,

0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.720
<v Speaker 2>but you know, explosive player. Khalil Tated Arizona.

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:13.840
<v Speaker 1>That'll play for rich Rod. Where are we going next?

0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:17.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes, okay, next question. I like this question a lot.

0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:20.040
<v Speaker 2>This is more vague or not vague, but bigger picture,

0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.320
<v Speaker 2>if there were an NC double A video game this year,

0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.320
<v Speaker 2>who would you be most excited player wise? And I'm

0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:32.000
<v Speaker 2>going to say outside of Penn State tie Yeah, yeah.

0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.720
<v Speaker 1>To play with in the game. I mean the obvious

0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.400
<v Speaker 1>answer is Lamar Jackson. Yeah. I think that's a really

0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.440
<v Speaker 1>good answer, Lamar Jay. If you have a truly mobile

0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:45.360
<v Speaker 1>quarterback in any video game, those guys are virtually unstoppable

0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:47.600
<v Speaker 1>and that that dates back to like the old Mike

0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Vick era of NC double A of Madden, Lamar Jackson

0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:54.160
<v Speaker 1>would be a tough one to pass up.

0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's generally going to be a quarterback or some

0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:00.760
<v Speaker 2>sort of multi tool speedy weapon. Christian would be very

0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.600
<v Speaker 2>fun to play with with some jet sweeps and punt returns.

0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:04.840
<v Speaker 1>He would be quite fun.

0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Quentin Flowers, who we both love, would be a pretty

0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:13.479
<v Speaker 2>obvious answer. H looking through playmakers.

0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it depends what you're after, right, If if

0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:17.920
<v Speaker 1>you're after putting up the true pinball numbers, then I

0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:21.160
<v Speaker 1>think the answer is Lamar Jackson. Yes. If you're into

0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:24.760
<v Speaker 1>the whole freshman development thing, pick cam akers in Florida

0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:28.280
<v Speaker 1>State just run every down when the Heisman as fresh.

0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:32.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna say Ronald Jones in USC has home run ability. Yeah,

0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.280
<v Speaker 2>that could be quite fun, maybe overshadowed a little bit

0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:37.960
<v Speaker 2>by Sam Darnold's all right, Yeah, that's that's That's another

0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:43.760
<v Speaker 2>next topic. Next topic, Ty, which team currently outside the

0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:47.560
<v Speaker 2>top twenty five has the best chance at finishing in

0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:48.280
<v Speaker 2>the top ten.

0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Hmm. So for this metric, Ty.

0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:56.240
<v Speaker 2>I went ahead and used Bill Ce's projected top twenty

0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:59.280
<v Speaker 2>five because I think it's a it's a good combination

0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:02.120
<v Speaker 2>of different factors to get us a top twenty five.

0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:04.080
<v Speaker 2>So just out of the top twenty five. In this

0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.920
<v Speaker 2>I'll give you the top twelve or so teams outside

0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:08.399
<v Speaker 2>of the top twenty five, and you can tell me

0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:10.960
<v Speaker 2>what you feel most passionately about.

0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Ole, miss NC.

0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:18.160
<v Speaker 2>State, Baylor, Boise State, Mississippi State, Georgia Tech, Arkansas, UCLA,

0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Kansas State, South Carolina, Northwestern North Carolina. Do you say

0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:26.679
<v Speaker 2>Kansas State? I did say Kansas State, who a lot

0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:29.679
<v Speaker 2>of people have projected higher than they're projected thirty fifth

0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:30.440
<v Speaker 2>in the S and POP.

0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:33.280
<v Speaker 1>I could see Kansas State working their way into the

0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.199
<v Speaker 1>top twenty five. I'm not sure. I actually didn't do

0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.720
<v Speaker 1>a fair amount of research for this one, but a

0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:41.640
<v Speaker 1>team that came to mind was Notre Dame. I don't

0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.399
<v Speaker 1>know where Notre Dame's at, but Notre Dame seems like

0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:45.359
<v Speaker 1>the kind of team that.

0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.879
<v Speaker 2>They're seventeenth in the SNP plus projection, so they're outside

0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:51.880
<v Speaker 2>of the top ten, right, Yeah.

0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I could see them. Kansas State. You mentioned NC State.

0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm intrigued by NC State this year.

0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:01.840
<v Speaker 2>If they had a better schedule, I would probably roll

0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:05.560
<v Speaker 2>with UCLA. Their schedules not great, but last year's defense

0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:10.400
<v Speaker 2>was undeniably the top ten defense in the country, especially

0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:13.000
<v Speaker 2>that pass defense. You saw the NFL talent but they

0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:15.520
<v Speaker 2>had on the roster last year under Tom scrat Bradley,

0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:19.280
<v Speaker 2>their defense really took a very nice step forward. A

0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:22.760
<v Speaker 2>new offensive coordinator healthy, Josh Rosen. They have Texas A

0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:26.400
<v Speaker 2>and M early. They go to Memphis, to Stanford, to Washington,

0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:29.399
<v Speaker 2>to Utah, which is always a hornet's nest at altitude,

0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:30.600
<v Speaker 2>to USC.

0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:33.879
<v Speaker 1>Are they playing any home games Dan? They do not

0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:35.760
<v Speaker 1>play home games. No, they have A and M at home.

0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:37.359
<v Speaker 1>They have Hawaii at home.

0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:39.520
<v Speaker 2>It's not a great Oregon at home, which could be

0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:44.679
<v Speaker 2>advantageous by mid to late October, and they've got a

0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:48.640
<v Speaker 2>strange letdown spot the post rivalry game, the post second

0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:50.960
<v Speaker 2>or like the second to last week rivalry game.

0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:52.720
<v Speaker 1>They have Cal after that.

0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:56.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm not terribly worried about Cal in the first

0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.760
<v Speaker 2>year coach, but I like the staff, but the schedule's

0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:01.399
<v Speaker 2>not right, or else I'd roll with UCLA.

0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:04.000
<v Speaker 1>So of this, I'd go UCLA, possibly North.

0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Carolina, just because of the strides they've taken these past

0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:10.560
<v Speaker 2>couple of years and developing quarterbacks. All right, next topic, next,

0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:16.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm back, Let's go to I love this question.

0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Ty.

0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:19.080
<v Speaker 2>This comes to our pal. Comes to us from our

0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:22.040
<v Speaker 2>pal Jane Couston. Has Tie's family finally forgiven Dan for

0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:24.159
<v Speaker 2>his comments regarding the food at Tie's wedding.

0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:30.200
<v Speaker 1>No, still know what have you done to rectify the situation? Dan?

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:32.520
<v Speaker 2>I thought I clarified that I enjoyed my eating at

0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:32.960
<v Speaker 2>your wedding.

0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:34.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm just I'm just telling you. I'm telling you, in

0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:37.320
<v Speaker 1>the nicest possible terms, that I have made peace with

0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:39.439
<v Speaker 1>you because you and I we have a show. We

0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:43.080
<v Speaker 1>have a business venture here with the show. M hmm.

0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:47.159
<v Speaker 1>Other people who aren't as attached, they don't share the

0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:51.400
<v Speaker 1>same sentiment as I. Okay, So if you come down here,

0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:53.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm just I'm not sure you'll be well.

0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:55.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna have to have a very mature sit down

0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:56.800
<v Speaker 2>with mama ah and get this.

0:19:56.840 --> 0:19:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Also, I didn't say it was mom Ah. I'm not

0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm not naming names. Here are anonymous sources. Dan Okay, okay.

0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:05.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm just thinking of the people you're related to that

0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:10.040
<v Speaker 2>listen to the show and Detective Dan Rubinstein on the case.

0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:15.240
<v Speaker 2>We'll stick with this because we've got a quick answer here.

0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:19.520
<v Speaker 2>One one swell foop or one fell swoop? Has Tie

0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:20.200
<v Speaker 2>ever had.

0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:20.600
<v Speaker 1>A bond me?

0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Bo b A n H b A n H bond

0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:30.040
<v Speaker 2>space M I me bond me.

0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:34.080
<v Speaker 2>It's a Vietnamese sandwich with French influence.

0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Great. Yeah, I was gonna say, I'm assuming that's some

0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Vietnamese dish. Mm hm. When you said has Tie ever

0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:42.719
<v Speaker 1>had a bond me, I thought you were asking if

0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I've had a bonfire. That might be the closest I

0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:51.800
<v Speaker 1>come to this one swell foop like bond me bond me?

0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I think you'd like a bond me? Okay.

0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:57.120
<v Speaker 2>It's French bread. Generally traditionally it's you know, some sort

0:20:57.160 --> 0:21:01.200
<v Speaker 2>of roasted pork and then cilantro and like spicy. Mays

0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:04.160
<v Speaker 2>me to Vietnamese Vietnamese food.

0:21:04.160 --> 0:21:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Excuse me. In Austin there was like a food truck. Yes,

0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:11.879
<v Speaker 1>and we tried Vietnamese something or another tacos. Yeah, it

0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:13.800
<v Speaker 1>was a fusion taco situation. It was very good. It

0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:16.359
<v Speaker 1>was not I'm not opposed to it. I've just not

0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:17.600
<v Speaker 1>had any exposure to it.

0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Sure, absolutely, Uh next question, neither one of us can

0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:23.439
<v Speaker 2>speak to this with authority, but we're going to try

0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:25.919
<v Speaker 2>to answer it anyway. From Steve Hagen, why are SEC

0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:29.119
<v Speaker 2>fans so over the top? And by that I assume

0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:32.160
<v Speaker 2>he means enthusiastic, crazed, that.

0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Kind of thing. Okay, this is what is your quest, Offesis. Yes,

0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:40.720
<v Speaker 1>you've got a really strong football culture in the Southeast,

0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:44.080
<v Speaker 1>but I've always felt like there's a shortage of a

0:21:44.160 --> 0:21:49.920
<v Speaker 1>true alpha NFL team outside of the Cowboys, the Saints,

0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:52.159
<v Speaker 1>maybe the Falcons.

0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Maybe the Falcons and Saints are are definite a rivalry,

0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:59.040
<v Speaker 2>but they're in not college towns. Necessarily shout out to Tulane, but.

0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Sure, it's just in a lot of spots college football

0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:06.640
<v Speaker 1>got there first, you know, like the Titans, the who else,

0:22:06.680 --> 0:22:10.520
<v Speaker 1>the Jags, the Panthers. These are newer teams. They don't

0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:16.000
<v Speaker 1>have the tradition of say Tennessee Football. So maybe you

0:22:16.119 --> 0:22:19.800
<v Speaker 1>root for an NFL team and that's cool, but maybe

0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:22.240
<v Speaker 1>you feel more of an emotional connection to the college

0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:25.920
<v Speaker 1>game because it's been there longer. There's more of a tradition.

0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Like if if you live in South Carolina, Dan, you

0:22:28.680 --> 0:22:30.840
<v Speaker 1>might be a Falcons fan, but I bet money that

0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:33.640
<v Speaker 1>you've got more more of an emotional connection to Clemson

0:22:33.720 --> 0:22:38.680
<v Speaker 1>or South Carolina. Yeah, and then when you factor in

0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:42.440
<v Speaker 1>the South, there's really a regional identity there that comes

0:22:42.480 --> 0:22:44.919
<v Speaker 1>into play. People from the South, they take pride in

0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:47.320
<v Speaker 1>being from the South and cheering on other teams that

0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:50.560
<v Speaker 1>are from the South. I think all that probably factors in.

0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think cultural pride in terms of sports elsewhere

0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:58.480
<v Speaker 2>in the country. You know, the Midwest feels very professional

0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:01.760
<v Speaker 2>sports driven, as as the North certainly you know Michigan,

0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:05.359
<v Speaker 2>Ohio State, Penn State. There are really fun pockets of

0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:10.040
<v Speaker 2>enthusiasm regarding college football. But I don't think it's as ingrain.

0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:11.919
<v Speaker 2>You go to a place like Old miss or LSU

0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:15.399
<v Speaker 2>or Alabama, where there's you know it, just it feels

0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:18.600
<v Speaker 2>like it's more steeped in tradition, even if the tradition

0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:20.960
<v Speaker 2>sort of seems silly to the outside world and to

0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:24.439
<v Speaker 2>dumb dumbs from the north like ourselves, you know, rolling

0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:27.080
<v Speaker 2>the trees a Tumor's corner in Auburn. It's just there's

0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:30.720
<v Speaker 2>just something that's sort of woven into the culture that

0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:33.199
<v Speaker 2>just doesn't exist elsewhere. Doesn't make it better worse, it

0:23:33.280 --> 0:23:34.240
<v Speaker 2>just makes it unique.

0:23:34.320 --> 0:23:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Absolutely, And don't poison other people's things. Don't do that.

0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Don't do that.

0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:42.760
<v Speaker 2>That's just a general life thing that you should abide by.

0:23:43.920 --> 0:23:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Next question, we'll go to a different part of the country.

0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:50.200
<v Speaker 2>Abbott wants to know the MAC conference who you got

0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:54.240
<v Speaker 2>this yere tie? Because I got my answer. Ooh, you

0:23:54.280 --> 0:23:57.920
<v Speaker 2>know what's side? I'm on tie, I'm on h I'm

0:23:57.920 --> 0:23:58.520
<v Speaker 2>on the woodside.

0:23:58.520 --> 0:24:03.560
<v Speaker 1>That's right, baby. Yeah, give me Toledo. I desperately want

0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:05.119
<v Speaker 1>to call them the mud Hens, but I know that's

0:24:05.160 --> 0:24:08.280
<v Speaker 1>a minor league baseball team. I know that their real

0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:10.560
<v Speaker 1>name is the Rockets. But I am I am rooting

0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:13.960
<v Speaker 1>for this to be the year for Toledo and Logan Woodside,

0:24:14.000 --> 0:24:16.200
<v Speaker 1>official quarterback of the celebrable podcast.

0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Here is a genuine question I have. The Toledo Rocket

0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:24.679
<v Speaker 2>has no visible eyes because there is a mask on

0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:29.119
<v Speaker 2>the Spaceman mascot. How many college football mascots don't have

0:24:29.280 --> 0:24:34.640
<v Speaker 2>visible eyeballs because even the tree has eyeballs.

0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:38.480
<v Speaker 1>The tree, Yeah, the tree can see. Wow. I'm not

0:24:38.560 --> 0:24:41.080
<v Speaker 1>even sure I can name one off the downhead.

0:24:41.440 --> 0:24:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's the unique element of that. I mean, there's

0:24:45.080 --> 0:24:49.280
<v Speaker 2>a school like Oklahoma where it's just sort of a

0:24:49.400 --> 0:24:55.000
<v Speaker 2>covered wagon coming out, but you still have people dressed

0:24:55.000 --> 0:24:58.040
<v Speaker 2>in a pair obviously of the West Virginia Mountaineer humans.

0:24:58.119 --> 0:25:00.560
<v Speaker 2>You have a live buffalo. You' all sorts of live

0:25:00.600 --> 0:25:03.240
<v Speaker 2>animals and mascots and costumes. But I would say, of

0:25:03.280 --> 0:25:06.320
<v Speaker 2>the costume mascots in which you can't see the person inside,

0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:10.240
<v Speaker 2>how many of those costumes don't have visible eyeballs?

0:25:10.400 --> 0:25:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Wow? I honestly got to think about it. I have

0:25:13.600 --> 0:25:15.560
<v Speaker 1>to think about it too. What I will say very

0:25:15.640 --> 0:25:20.200
<v Speaker 1>quickly in passing, I would much rather have a mascot

0:25:20.240 --> 0:25:22.879
<v Speaker 1>without eyes than a mascot with the eyes of the

0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Clemson Tiger, because that's just freaking spooky e ball. Yeah, yeah,

0:25:29.240 --> 0:25:31.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I can't off the top of my head.

0:25:31.440 --> 0:25:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Can't think of one. All Right, we're gonna have to

0:25:33.800 --> 0:25:36.719
<v Speaker 1>tell Yeah, we're both on the woodside. Okay, next topic.

0:25:37.520 --> 0:25:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Next topic. This comes up from Zach.

0:25:40.280 --> 0:25:42.920
<v Speaker 2>What are your thoughts on the legalization of sports gambling

0:25:42.920 --> 0:25:45.760
<v Speaker 2>across the country? Is a good or bad for college football?

0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:49.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't wager on college football. What are your thoughts, Tay,

0:25:50.240 --> 0:25:51.560
<v Speaker 2>I have no problem with this at all.

0:25:52.240 --> 0:25:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, it's already going on, whether it's legal or not.

0:25:57.280 --> 0:25:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Grant that you could say that about a lot of

0:25:58.880 --> 0:26:02.080
<v Speaker 1>things that shouldn't be lee goal, But in this case,

0:26:02.119 --> 0:26:04.520
<v Speaker 1>I think if you could tax it, you could regulate it.

0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:08.240
<v Speaker 1>In other parts of the world, you literally have gambling

0:26:08.240 --> 0:26:12.560
<v Speaker 1>websites that sponsors sports teams. It doesn't need to be

0:26:12.640 --> 0:26:17.320
<v Speaker 1>an adversarial relationship between the league and the gambling entity.

0:26:18.160 --> 0:26:21.280
<v Speaker 1>The two things that I hear as the most common

0:26:21.440 --> 0:26:26.919
<v Speaker 1>arguments against legalized gambling is a some kind of moral

0:26:26.960 --> 0:26:29.760
<v Speaker 1>objection to gambling as a whole, not just sports gambling,

0:26:29.800 --> 0:26:33.600
<v Speaker 1>but just the act of doing so. I don't share

0:26:33.760 --> 0:26:35.240
<v Speaker 1>that point of view, but I'm not going to try

0:26:35.280 --> 0:26:38.439
<v Speaker 1>and convince people otherwise. It's a reasonable stance that people have.

0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:42.760
<v Speaker 1>The second one is more logistical, and I think it's

0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:45.720
<v Speaker 1>a myth. It's that legalized gambling or any gambling for

0:26:45.760 --> 0:26:49.200
<v Speaker 1>that matter, is going to lead to some kind of nefarious,

0:26:50.320 --> 0:26:55.600
<v Speaker 1>shady activity in sports, right point, shaving, game fixing, paying

0:26:55.600 --> 0:26:59.840
<v Speaker 1>off ress. That is not reality, because, as you know, Vegas,

0:27:00.320 --> 0:27:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Vegas leads the charge against this sort of thing all

0:27:03.040 --> 0:27:06.120
<v Speaker 1>the time. They know when something's up, they alert the

0:27:06.160 --> 0:27:09.480
<v Speaker 1>FBI other authorities that there might be a fix being

0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:13.720
<v Speaker 1>called in. So in many cases that's just not reality.

0:27:14.080 --> 0:27:16.119
<v Speaker 1>I think you can throw that argument out the window.

0:27:17.800 --> 0:27:18.720
<v Speaker 1>So I'm okay with it.

0:27:18.800 --> 0:27:21.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm mostly okay with it. It becomes a little strange

0:27:21.400 --> 0:27:25.520
<v Speaker 2>if you are believing in the antiquated notion of amateurism

0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:28.119
<v Speaker 2>that these are true student athletes and we shouldn't be

0:27:28.160 --> 0:27:31.560
<v Speaker 2>wagering on games they're playing, but enough people are making

0:27:31.600 --> 0:27:34.439
<v Speaker 2>money off of them. But I am generally okay. You

0:27:34.440 --> 0:27:37.200
<v Speaker 2>can already wager on college football games legally, whether it's

0:27:37.240 --> 0:27:39.240
<v Speaker 2>sort of the weird offshore stuff or you just go

0:27:39.320 --> 0:27:42.120
<v Speaker 2>to the state of Nevada, go to Las Vegas and gamble.

0:27:42.160 --> 0:27:45.840
<v Speaker 2>And it also feels to me that with football specifically,

0:27:45.880 --> 0:27:48.119
<v Speaker 2>and this is different for any number of sports that

0:27:48.119 --> 0:27:51.440
<v Speaker 2>could possibly be waged on like basketball. Easier to throw

0:27:51.440 --> 0:27:54.199
<v Speaker 2>a basketball game when you want to five people instead

0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:57.439
<v Speaker 2>of one of twenty two, twenty five, twenty seven people,

0:27:57.600 --> 0:28:00.840
<v Speaker 2>unless you're the quarterback, and that becomes sort of obvious

0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:04.240
<v Speaker 2>on a certain level. But I think I'm okay with

0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:06.480
<v Speaker 2>it at this point in twenty seventeen. I'm not sure

0:28:06.680 --> 0:28:08.359
<v Speaker 2>the direct harm it's going to do.

0:28:08.520 --> 0:28:11.800
<v Speaker 1>You can argue that Florida's quarterback has been throwing games

0:28:11.800 --> 0:28:14.280
<v Speaker 1>for the last two years, and how you still find

0:28:14.320 --> 0:28:17.240
<v Speaker 1>a way to play an SEC championship games.

0:28:18.040 --> 0:28:21.040
<v Speaker 2>So this is an email from or a tweet I

0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:24.000
<v Speaker 2>think from our friend Jake, who wants to know. Not surprisingly,

0:28:24.040 --> 0:28:26.000
<v Speaker 2>I know where he's going with this. When does a

0:28:26.000 --> 0:28:30.320
<v Speaker 2>team go from quote having success to quote elite college

0:28:30.320 --> 0:28:34.920
<v Speaker 2>football program. Oh, this is a very sports radio question, yes,

0:28:35.280 --> 0:28:39.720
<v Speaker 2>but it's early July and we will entertain such questions.

0:28:39.800 --> 0:28:43.000
<v Speaker 2>He is a Washington fan, so I assume he secretly

0:28:43.040 --> 0:28:45.760
<v Speaker 2>wants to know how far away is Washington from being

0:28:45.800 --> 0:28:49.680
<v Speaker 2>a quote elite college football program, A name that people

0:28:49.720 --> 0:28:53.520
<v Speaker 2>like Colin Cowherd eleven elite college football programs from Colin

0:28:53.560 --> 0:28:58.760
<v Speaker 2>cowhard but it blue blood, something that really that is

0:28:58.800 --> 0:29:03.160
<v Speaker 2>a clear elevating term of college football programs. Right now,

0:29:03.200 --> 0:29:05.800
<v Speaker 2>we have you know, whatever, eight to ten programs, whatever

0:29:05.840 --> 0:29:09.200
<v Speaker 2>it is. But I would say, and you can say

0:29:09.200 --> 0:29:12.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm wrong, the most recent team to make that ascension

0:29:12.080 --> 0:29:14.680
<v Speaker 2>is probably Oregon. They made the ascension. I don't know

0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:17.320
<v Speaker 2>if they still are right now, sure, but in making

0:29:17.400 --> 0:29:20.400
<v Speaker 2>the four straight BCS games and national title games, two

0:29:20.480 --> 0:29:23.880
<v Speaker 2>national title games and a Heisman, combined with the brand

0:29:23.920 --> 0:29:26.360
<v Speaker 2>that they were able to build nationally, with the attention

0:29:26.480 --> 0:29:30.000
<v Speaker 2>to uniforms and facilities and whatever, I felt like they

0:29:30.080 --> 0:29:33.120
<v Speaker 2>made the closest thing we've had recently to an ascension

0:29:33.400 --> 0:29:35.440
<v Speaker 2>to that blue blood level. Still don't know if they're

0:29:35.440 --> 0:29:38.320
<v Speaker 2>there now, but they made the ascension. So what do

0:29:38.360 --> 0:29:41.800
<v Speaker 2>you think it takes to climb up to being in

0:29:41.800 --> 0:29:45.080
<v Speaker 2>that sort of that cloud. I, By the way, the

0:29:45.120 --> 0:29:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Oregon example, I think is a good one.

0:29:47.120 --> 0:29:50.320
<v Speaker 1>I was going to use Clemson as sort of another example,

0:29:50.480 --> 0:29:54.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe not quite as drastic. They had won a national

0:29:54.080 --> 0:29:57.960
<v Speaker 1>championship before, Yeah, but Clemson has now gotten to a

0:29:58.000 --> 0:30:00.160
<v Speaker 1>point where year and in year out they are what

0:30:00.480 --> 0:30:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I would consider elite, whereas ten years ago that wasn't

0:30:04.280 --> 0:30:09.560
<v Speaker 1>quite the case. They've won ten or more game six

0:30:10.160 --> 0:30:13.560
<v Speaker 1>straight years. If I'm looking at this correctly, they've played

0:30:13.560 --> 0:30:17.400
<v Speaker 1>in eight postseason games if you count the playoffs, and

0:30:17.440 --> 0:30:19.600
<v Speaker 1>it looks like they've gone six and two, with a

0:30:19.680 --> 0:30:23.920
<v Speaker 1>national championship last year. The big thing for them is

0:30:23.960 --> 0:30:27.600
<v Speaker 1>recruiting has now reached a critical mass, and I think

0:30:27.640 --> 0:30:30.000
<v Speaker 1>that's the most important thing. You need to have success

0:30:30.040 --> 0:30:32.440
<v Speaker 1>on the field, which they've clearly had last six seasons.

0:30:32.800 --> 0:30:36.480
<v Speaker 1>You need to have success against prime competition, which they've

0:30:36.520 --> 0:30:41.120
<v Speaker 1>done in the offseason before a national audience. Because of that,

0:30:41.200 --> 0:30:44.360
<v Speaker 1>their recruiting has now reached a critical mass where they're

0:30:44.400 --> 0:30:46.920
<v Speaker 1>not quite Alabama, They're not quite getting whoever they want,

0:30:47.240 --> 0:30:50.160
<v Speaker 1>but they're getting there. The program has now started to

0:30:50.200 --> 0:30:52.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of recruit for itself, and I think that's the

0:30:53.440 --> 0:30:56.680
<v Speaker 1>X factor here in getting to elite status where you

0:30:56.720 --> 0:31:00.600
<v Speaker 1>can turn over a quarterback, you can turn over defensive

0:31:00.640 --> 0:31:03.080
<v Speaker 1>talent at all three levels of your defense and still

0:31:03.080 --> 0:31:06.400
<v Speaker 1>feel pretty good about being potentially a top five team

0:31:06.560 --> 0:31:07.600
<v Speaker 1>entering the following year.

0:31:08.920 --> 0:31:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Would I would say that there has to be some

0:31:11.720 --> 0:31:14.720
<v Speaker 2>sort of broader, big picture element to not just on

0:31:14.880 --> 0:31:18.080
<v Speaker 2>field success, but there has to be some sort of

0:31:18.280 --> 0:31:23.240
<v Speaker 2>brand association with your program. As a top of the

0:31:23.280 --> 0:31:26.840
<v Speaker 2>mountain program, and I think undeniably Clemson is there. I

0:31:26.880 --> 0:31:29.600
<v Speaker 2>think in having a high profile player like Deshaun Watson

0:31:29.680 --> 0:31:33.800
<v Speaker 2>Taj Boyd before him, you know, turning out NFL players,

0:31:34.160 --> 0:31:36.440
<v Speaker 2>becoming a program that like year in and year I like, oh,

0:31:36.480 --> 0:31:38.800
<v Speaker 2>I need to watch the Clemson Florida State game that

0:31:39.000 --> 0:31:41.360
<v Speaker 2>they sort of became must watch in their own way.

0:31:41.760 --> 0:31:44.080
<v Speaker 2>And I think, you know, Dabbo is just he's an

0:31:44.080 --> 0:31:48.000
<v Speaker 2>outsized personality, So there's the figurehead factor. I think Clemson

0:31:48.120 --> 0:31:52.480
<v Speaker 2>is there. What about a school like Penn State. M

0:31:54.520 --> 0:31:57.400
<v Speaker 2>like so Penn State historically is that program on the

0:31:57.440 --> 0:31:58.240
<v Speaker 2>field recently?

0:31:58.400 --> 0:31:58.480
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:04.719
<v Speaker 2>So would you group them because of both brand and

0:32:04.760 --> 0:32:06.120
<v Speaker 2>on field product right now?

0:32:06.320 --> 0:32:07.840
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't. I wouldn't know.

0:32:08.840 --> 0:32:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Is there any team in the Big Ten outside of

0:32:11.120 --> 0:32:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Ohio State and Michigan.

0:32:13.800 --> 0:32:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think there is, Probably not. No.

0:32:17.360 --> 0:32:20.560
<v Speaker 2>I think Nebraska was. I think Wisconsin's closer than people

0:32:20.640 --> 0:32:23.200
<v Speaker 2>realize in terms of the year in and year out brain.

0:32:23.480 --> 0:32:25.880
<v Speaker 2>Wisconsin has that brand of like the big burly offensive

0:32:25.880 --> 0:32:26.920
<v Speaker 2>lineman in the running game.

0:32:26.960 --> 0:32:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Whatever.

0:32:27.560 --> 0:32:32.840
<v Speaker 2>Russell Wilson certainly helped it briefly in the Pac twelve.

0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Whatever you think of Oregon and basically USC Washington's problem

0:32:37.960 --> 0:32:42.960
<v Speaker 2>is they are so far removed geographically and there isn't

0:32:42.960 --> 0:32:45.920
<v Speaker 2>a ton of flash yet. I think they're going to

0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:49.560
<v Speaker 2>build on what they did last year this coming season.

0:32:49.880 --> 0:32:52.160
<v Speaker 2>I think there's a very good chance, with an excellent

0:32:52.160 --> 0:32:54.760
<v Speaker 2>coach and Chris Peterson, that they can reach the point

0:32:54.840 --> 0:32:58.080
<v Speaker 2>where they are just an understood West Coast power like

0:32:58.120 --> 0:33:01.280
<v Speaker 2>they were in the early nineties. But I think there's

0:33:01.320 --> 0:33:05.000
<v Speaker 2>a ways to go, okay, and I think Stanford is

0:33:05.040 --> 0:33:05.720
<v Speaker 2>secretly there.

0:33:06.280 --> 0:33:09.240
<v Speaker 1>I would agree with that. Yeah, absolutely, which is crazy

0:33:09.280 --> 0:33:13.320
<v Speaker 1>to think about. Ty they're good. Who in the SEC?

0:33:14.640 --> 0:33:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Well Alabama obviously, I think LSU. I think they're one

0:33:19.800 --> 0:33:20.880
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent in that group.

0:33:22.280 --> 0:33:26.680
<v Speaker 2>That's it for me at Florida Florida Florida Shore. The

0:33:26.800 --> 0:33:29.680
<v Speaker 2>recent on field has been a disaster, but winning two

0:33:29.760 --> 0:33:32.480
<v Speaker 2>national championships in what the past eleven or twelve years,

0:33:33.400 --> 0:33:36.800
<v Speaker 2>pumping out a Heisman winner, the most polarizing player in

0:33:36.880 --> 0:33:40.880
<v Speaker 2>Tim Tebow perhaps of the past decade, twenty years.

0:33:40.920 --> 0:33:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Whatever.

0:33:42.200 --> 0:33:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think Florida Alabama LSU are in a tier

0:33:45.480 --> 0:33:49.320
<v Speaker 2>alone within the SEC. Hope it changes, hope more teams

0:33:49.320 --> 0:33:51.080
<v Speaker 2>are at it, but that's where I stand right now.

0:33:51.120 --> 0:33:54.360
<v Speaker 2>That's the sports radio question of the day. The second

0:33:54.360 --> 0:33:57.000
<v Speaker 2>part of his question is Tex Mex best of both

0:33:57.080 --> 0:34:01.719
<v Speaker 2>worlds or culinary Frankenstein. I think he means Frankenstein's Monster. TI.

0:34:01.880 --> 0:34:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're gonna be specific. Sure, how do you feel

0:34:05.240 --> 0:34:08.000
<v Speaker 1>about text Mex. I'm fine with text Mex.

0:34:08.040 --> 0:34:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Are you being specific to text Mex or Mexican food?

0:34:12.480 --> 0:34:13.799
<v Speaker 2>There is a difference there.

0:34:13.920 --> 0:34:16.200
<v Speaker 1>There is a subtle difference, right, I'm no, I'm I'm

0:34:16.200 --> 0:34:21.839
<v Speaker 1>probably being more specific to Mexican food, but I have

0:34:21.920 --> 0:34:25.320
<v Speaker 1>to believe that text Mex isn't too much a departure

0:34:25.320 --> 0:34:25.640
<v Speaker 1>from that.

0:34:26.160 --> 0:34:29.920
<v Speaker 2>It's basically Mexican food, but with a layer of greasy,

0:34:30.080 --> 0:34:34.160
<v Speaker 2>orange yellow cheddar cheese. So that's fine. I'm fine. I've

0:34:34.160 --> 0:34:36.279
<v Speaker 2>been slow to it, but I've learned to appreciate it.

0:34:36.719 --> 0:34:38.719
<v Speaker 2>Queso cone cherizo, stuff like that.

0:34:39.400 --> 0:34:40.439
<v Speaker 1>Wonderful. That's great.

0:34:40.440 --> 0:34:43.120
<v Speaker 2>It's a lot of enchiladas and fajidas. It's all good, all.

0:34:43.120 --> 0:34:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Right, So let me jump in here. What do you got?

0:34:45.760 --> 0:34:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Brett sent us a question that I thought was actually

0:34:48.800 --> 0:34:52.920
<v Speaker 1>very thoughtful, and he says, I have a question and

0:34:53.000 --> 0:34:59.560
<v Speaker 1>it concerns allowed scholarship quantities and teams losing players, wouldn't

0:34:59.600 --> 0:35:03.280
<v Speaker 1>a team consistently quote losing a lot each year actually

0:35:03.280 --> 0:35:07.880
<v Speaker 1>be a sign of success in player development, where a

0:35:08.000 --> 0:35:11.720
<v Speaker 1>signing class gradually develops, moves up the ranks to become starters,

0:35:11.719 --> 0:35:15.440
<v Speaker 1>and then leaves as a class, then repeat and repeat.

0:35:15.800 --> 0:35:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I believe some would call this th reloading. Could you

0:35:18.120 --> 0:35:24.080
<v Speaker 1>talk a little bit about player development versus player turnover? Dan?

0:35:24.120 --> 0:35:27.759
<v Speaker 1>This is a great question. It's an excellent point. His

0:35:27.840 --> 0:35:33.480
<v Speaker 1>implication is basically that turnover does not equate to a

0:35:33.560 --> 0:35:39.200
<v Speaker 1>team taking a step back necessarily necessarily right at this

0:35:39.400 --> 0:35:43.040
<v Speaker 1>point in the year, turnover is really one of the

0:35:43.120 --> 0:35:45.719
<v Speaker 1>few data points we have that can be predictive for

0:35:46.920 --> 0:35:50.200
<v Speaker 1>the coming season, right mm hmm. I think the X

0:35:50.280 --> 0:35:53.239
<v Speaker 1>factor here is coaching, and not just head coaches that

0:35:53.280 --> 0:35:59.800
<v Speaker 1>everyone knows about, but I'm talking coordinators, position coaches, strength coaches.

0:36:00.160 --> 0:36:03.600
<v Speaker 1>This is where the sausage gets made. So if you're

0:36:03.600 --> 0:36:05.760
<v Speaker 1>going to tell me that Brett Venables has to rebuild

0:36:05.760 --> 0:36:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the defensive line, I feel a lot better about it

0:36:08.880 --> 0:36:12.080
<v Speaker 1>than if you tell me who Brian Van Gorder's got

0:36:12.080 --> 0:36:13.440
<v Speaker 1>to rebuild a defensive line.

0:36:13.760 --> 0:36:15.879
<v Speaker 2>Yes, new defensive line coach for Clemson.

0:36:15.520 --> 0:36:19.759
<v Speaker 1>Though, absolutely Yeah, But you understand the point. I think

0:36:19.800 --> 0:36:21.759
<v Speaker 1>this is where coaching really fills in a lot of

0:36:21.760 --> 0:36:24.080
<v Speaker 1>the gaps. If you do have a lot of turnover,

0:36:24.400 --> 0:36:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I feel a lot better about it and what it

0:36:27.160 --> 0:36:29.520
<v Speaker 1>means for your program moving forward. If I know you've

0:36:29.520 --> 0:36:32.160
<v Speaker 1>got someone who has historically developed that position.

0:36:32.280 --> 0:36:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it's a context thing. If you're losing

0:36:35.200 --> 0:36:39.560
<v Speaker 2>players every year, it most likely means that you're sustaining

0:36:39.600 --> 0:36:43.520
<v Speaker 2>success and players are leaving early and you've developed players.

0:36:43.560 --> 0:36:46.839
<v Speaker 2>And I think the big thing with losing starters, it's

0:36:46.880 --> 0:36:49.640
<v Speaker 2>a bit of a misnomer because when you're a program

0:36:49.760 --> 0:36:52.800
<v Speaker 2>at Clemson, Ohio State, Alabama and you're winning games like

0:36:52.920 --> 0:36:56.799
<v Speaker 2>forty nine to fourteen, you're getting rotation players a ton

0:36:56.840 --> 0:36:59.279
<v Speaker 2>of playing time. And I think that's the sort of

0:36:59.400 --> 0:37:02.720
<v Speaker 2>secret side is a lot of guys on these teams

0:37:02.760 --> 0:37:05.000
<v Speaker 2>are not stepping on the field for the first time,

0:37:05.080 --> 0:37:08.960
<v Speaker 2>even though they're technically quote first time starters. So they

0:37:09.080 --> 0:37:12.800
<v Speaker 2>get they get time as three four on the depth

0:37:12.880 --> 0:37:16.000
<v Speaker 2>chart into games, they get used to the game speed,

0:37:16.040 --> 0:37:17.800
<v Speaker 2>they get used to getting hit, they get used to

0:37:17.880 --> 0:37:20.160
<v Speaker 2>what the competition is like, and then they step in

0:37:20.200 --> 0:37:24.200
<v Speaker 2>and get more playing time. I also think defensive starters,

0:37:24.800 --> 0:37:29.200
<v Speaker 2>especially up front, replacing them if you're recruiting somewhat well.

0:37:29.800 --> 0:37:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Defense is much more about effort than it is necessarily precision,

0:37:33.760 --> 0:37:36.240
<v Speaker 2>like it is on offense, route running, understanding the timing

0:37:36.280 --> 0:37:39.080
<v Speaker 2>of playing offensive line, and if you get guys in

0:37:39.120 --> 0:37:41.680
<v Speaker 2>there who you know will be enthusiastic, you know who

0:37:41.719 --> 0:37:44.400
<v Speaker 2>will wrap up I mean tackling. You're basically fighting for

0:37:44.440 --> 0:37:47.200
<v Speaker 2>your life every play in a big conference if you're

0:37:47.400 --> 0:37:50.960
<v Speaker 2>a weak side linebacker with you know Darius Geist or

0:37:51.040 --> 0:37:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Royce Freeman or Christian McCaffrey coming at you. And if

0:37:54.480 --> 0:37:57.640
<v Speaker 2>you are able to play with sustained energy, it doesn't

0:37:57.680 --> 0:38:00.640
<v Speaker 2>matter as much that you're a first time starter. You

0:38:00.680 --> 0:38:03.680
<v Speaker 2>play with sustained energy because of good coaching, good preparation.

0:38:04.280 --> 0:38:06.360
<v Speaker 2>You're there, you're trained, you've had time perhaps as a

0:38:06.440 --> 0:38:09.160
<v Speaker 2>rotation player of the year before. So yes, teams that

0:38:09.239 --> 0:38:12.640
<v Speaker 2>year in and year out are replacing and reloading players.

0:38:12.800 --> 0:38:15.239
<v Speaker 2>It's a good problem to have, and they're probably recruiting well.

0:38:15.600 --> 0:38:19.200
<v Speaker 2>That said, there are certain programs where players leave every

0:38:19.280 --> 0:38:21.360
<v Speaker 2>year because they don't like it there, they don't like

0:38:21.440 --> 0:38:25.719
<v Speaker 2>the coaches. There's just turnover. That's a bad sign. But yes,

0:38:25.800 --> 0:38:28.240
<v Speaker 2>I think it's sort of a misnomer, especially on defense

0:38:28.320 --> 0:38:31.080
<v Speaker 2>the number of returning starters, but offensive line starters is

0:38:31.160 --> 0:38:32.360
<v Speaker 2>a pretty nice metric.

0:38:32.400 --> 0:38:34.319
<v Speaker 1>I think, though. I have another question here for you

0:38:34.360 --> 0:38:39.560
<v Speaker 1>to hit me. What's the best mattress on the market today.

0:38:40.160 --> 0:38:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Please tell me it's Casper, because that's my feeling. It

0:38:42.600 --> 0:38:44.799
<v Speaker 1>is Casper. Have you taken years out of the box yet?

0:38:45.000 --> 0:38:48.360
<v Speaker 1>I have not. I know I've slept on a Casper

0:38:48.360 --> 0:38:51.360
<v Speaker 1>match before. I know it's more of a product. You

0:38:51.400 --> 0:38:53.520
<v Speaker 1>saw my apartment. There's not a lot of room. We've

0:38:53.520 --> 0:38:55.759
<v Speaker 1>got to figure out a situation. This is the road

0:38:55.800 --> 0:38:59.320
<v Speaker 1>to divorce. D In, you just got married. We're sleeping

0:38:59.360 --> 0:39:03.120
<v Speaker 1>all right. Well, I'll tell my story again because hundred

0:39:03.080 --> 0:39:06.799
<v Speaker 1>percent tru Casper was gracious enough to send us a

0:39:06.800 --> 0:39:09.520
<v Speaker 1>mattress to try out. I haven't sent it back. I

0:39:09.560 --> 0:39:11.680
<v Speaker 1>was having all sorts of issues with the old mattress

0:39:11.719 --> 0:39:15.080
<v Speaker 1>that we had back. Was bothering me, was waking up

0:39:15.080 --> 0:39:18.240
<v Speaker 1>in the morning, my shoulder was dead, my hips felt

0:39:18.280 --> 0:39:21.560
<v Speaker 1>out of alignment, just a physical disaster, and not just

0:39:21.560 --> 0:39:25.600
<v Speaker 1>because I'm getting older. I started to realistically think that

0:39:25.640 --> 0:39:27.200
<v Speaker 1>I had something to do with the mattress, and so

0:39:27.280 --> 0:39:29.680
<v Speaker 1>I was in the market. They sent us a new one,

0:39:29.920 --> 0:39:33.000
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not kidding. It's been inside the one hundred

0:39:33.080 --> 0:39:36.040
<v Speaker 1>day grace period that they give you, and all of

0:39:36.080 --> 0:39:39.560
<v Speaker 1>those physical ailments have left me. In the morning, I

0:39:39.560 --> 0:39:42.240
<v Speaker 1>feel like a million bucks. I'm sleeping better the solid

0:39:42.280 --> 0:39:46.120
<v Speaker 1>life Kate. She agrees that the old mattress was sort

0:39:46.120 --> 0:39:48.520
<v Speaker 1>of a problem that we didn't even realize until we

0:39:48.560 --> 0:39:52.520
<v Speaker 1>got Casper. Real world customers have said that it's like

0:39:52.560 --> 0:40:01.000
<v Speaker 1>sleeping on a brioch b r iocch. Is that brio brios? Yeah,

0:40:01.040 --> 0:40:05.480
<v Speaker 1>and spawn a very soft bread. Also like being cradled

0:40:05.480 --> 0:40:08.720
<v Speaker 1>by the tinkling of baby laughter in the moonlight. Wow.

0:40:09.360 --> 0:40:11.560
<v Speaker 1>If you write that you are a special human being

0:40:11.560 --> 0:40:14.439
<v Speaker 1>on a public website, but people have done it, people

0:40:14.440 --> 0:40:17.520
<v Speaker 1>feel very passionate about it. Dan, Casper will sell directly

0:40:17.560 --> 0:40:22.000
<v Speaker 1>to you. They eliminate the commission driven inflation prices. If

0:40:22.040 --> 0:40:25.640
<v Speaker 1>you go out to a a mattress place, it couldn't

0:40:25.640 --> 0:40:28.120
<v Speaker 1>be easier. You go online. They deliver it to your

0:40:28.200 --> 0:40:31.359
<v Speaker 1>door in a very compact box. It's a heavy box, Dan,

0:40:32.680 --> 0:40:33.680
<v Speaker 1>but it's a compact box.

0:40:33.680 --> 0:40:35.680
<v Speaker 2>It's great that they get it in there. It's incredible.

0:40:35.680 --> 0:40:37.879
<v Speaker 1>It's magic. I don't know how they did it. Whether

0:40:37.920 --> 0:40:40.440
<v Speaker 1>you're in the United States, the UK, or Canada, they

0:40:40.480 --> 0:40:42.960
<v Speaker 1>offer free delivery, free returns, and like I said, a

0:40:43.000 --> 0:40:47.160
<v Speaker 1>one hundred night risk free trial period. They know how

0:40:47.200 --> 0:40:49.920
<v Speaker 1>important it is to truly sleep on a mattress before committing,

0:40:49.920 --> 0:40:52.760
<v Speaker 1>so they give you that one hundred day grace period

0:40:53.200 --> 0:40:55.960
<v Speaker 1>to check it out. And they say, hey, look, you

0:40:56.480 --> 0:40:58.320
<v Speaker 1>spend one third of your life on a mattress. You

0:40:58.400 --> 0:41:02.120

<v Speaker 2>Asks our next question. This comes to us from a

0:41:26.120 --> 0:41:29.719
<v Speaker 2>gentleman named ty Oh. If Wyoming has another good year,

0:41:29.800 --> 0:41:31.719
<v Speaker 2>that's right, we're deep diving those cowboys.

0:41:31.800 --> 0:41:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Could Craig Boll.

0:41:33.400 --> 0:41:35.799
<v Speaker 2>Be looking at offers next year? Nebraska?

0:41:35.840 --> 0:41:38.680
<v Speaker 1>Possibly? All right? Now, rise, he spent a number of years. Right,

0:41:38.760 --> 0:41:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's pause for one second here. Okay, Craig Boll

0:41:42.719 --> 0:41:46.239
<v Speaker 1>was notable on our show last year, because.

0:41:46.920 --> 0:41:50.799
<v Speaker 2>Because when he is wearing a headset, his head has

0:41:50.840 --> 0:41:53.440
<v Speaker 2>the exact shape of the inside of the Oregon ow.

0:41:53.840 --> 0:41:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I didn't believe you until I saw it myself. But

0:41:57.640 --> 0:42:03.280
<v Speaker 1>there is a congruence there. Why strike up? Yeah, it's incredible. Yes,

0:42:04.160 --> 0:42:07.879
<v Speaker 1>So he of oval shaped head? Could he be looking

0:42:07.960 --> 0:42:08.879
<v Speaker 1>at offers next year?

0:42:08.920 --> 0:42:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Dan something somebody who has been really really successful at infrastructure.

0:42:14.680 --> 0:42:17.040
<v Speaker 2>That's how you sustain success no matter what level. And

0:42:17.080 --> 0:42:20.960
<v Speaker 2>obviously had the success at North Dakota State finding you know,

0:42:21.040 --> 0:42:24.320
<v Speaker 2>diamonds in the rough, you know, developing an NFL quarterback,

0:42:24.360 --> 0:42:27.480
<v Speaker 2>perhaps two NFL quarterbacks with Josh Allen at Wyoming this year,

0:42:27.880 --> 0:42:30.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, turned Wyoming I think from four wins to

0:42:30.920 --> 0:42:33.719
<v Speaker 2>eight wins in a couple of years, went four to

0:42:33.760 --> 0:42:38.120
<v Speaker 2>two to eight whatever, and has built something pretty special.

0:42:38.160 --> 0:42:40.399
<v Speaker 2>They beat Boise State last year in a wild game.

0:42:41.120 --> 0:42:46.880
<v Speaker 2>So obviously his time in Nebraska is interesting with a

0:42:47.000 --> 0:42:49.160
<v Speaker 2>coach that I don't think a lot of fans are

0:42:49.280 --> 0:42:52.479
<v Speaker 2>fully behind at the moment for Nebraska. But I don't

0:42:52.520 --> 0:42:54.279
<v Speaker 2>think he would. I don't think Mike Riley would be

0:42:54.280 --> 0:42:57.160
<v Speaker 2>out after this year, even like a disastrous four and eight,

0:42:57.239 --> 0:43:00.279
<v Speaker 2>five and seven type campaign for the Huskers. I think

0:43:00.320 --> 0:43:02.759
<v Speaker 2>it would be a little while before Nebraska opens up,

0:43:02.760 --> 0:43:06.200
<v Speaker 2>but I could see perhaps a Big ten team if

0:43:06.440 --> 0:43:10.239
<v Speaker 2>Mark Dantonio were to retire, somebody like that, maybe taking

0:43:10.280 --> 0:43:12.840
<v Speaker 2>a chance. And I'm Illinois. If Lovey Smith doesn't work out,

0:43:13.440 --> 0:43:16.319
<v Speaker 2>but he's fifty nine and at a certain point, if

0:43:16.360 --> 0:43:20.680
<v Speaker 2>he's into his sixties, how likely is he going to

0:43:20.760 --> 0:43:24.759
<v Speaker 2>be to take a job that requires another So this

0:43:24.800 --> 0:43:28.480
<v Speaker 2>would be the third full rebuild from the ground up.

0:43:29.680 --> 0:43:33.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I'm not in my sixties time, okay,

0:43:34.719 --> 0:43:36.960
<v Speaker 1>fair enough, so I think it would be Yes.

0:43:37.080 --> 0:43:40.640
<v Speaker 2>If say, here's the question for somebody like Craig Bull

0:43:40.880 --> 0:43:43.040
<v Speaker 2>that he could step into and I think be successful

0:43:43.040 --> 0:43:46.560
<v Speaker 2>pretty quickly. What if Pete Carroll retires for the Seahawks

0:43:46.560 --> 0:43:48.840
<v Speaker 2>and they hire somebody I don't know who's already in

0:43:48.880 --> 0:43:53.960
<v Speaker 2>that city, like Chris Peterson, then I think his name

0:43:54.000 --> 0:43:57.040
<v Speaker 2>starts being floated for a huge job that's somewhat in

0:43:57.080 --> 0:44:00.239
<v Speaker 2>the region. I don't think Craig Bull would take like

0:44:01.040 --> 0:44:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Arkansas or Ole, miss I don't think there's the fit there.

0:44:07.440 --> 0:44:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it just it doesn't doesn't feel like a It

0:44:11.080 --> 0:44:12.800
<v Speaker 1>doesn't feel like a good landing spot for me.

0:44:12.880 --> 0:44:16.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, right, and you know, maybe Wazoo. Maybe I

0:44:16.480 --> 0:44:18.840
<v Speaker 2>don't know, something opens up. Mike Cleach goes back to

0:44:18.880 --> 0:44:21.680
<v Speaker 2>the Southwest somewhere. But I think it was pretty happy

0:44:21.719 --> 0:44:24.640
<v Speaker 2>with Mike Leach. But you know, a job like that

0:44:24.920 --> 0:44:26.920
<v Speaker 2>I think would make a lot of sense.

0:44:27.960 --> 0:44:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I have a question here, please on a on

0:44:31.760 --> 0:44:35.759
<v Speaker 1>a much much different note. This one comes to us

0:44:36.400 --> 0:44:39.040
<v Speaker 1>from a gentleman who I think asks a very thoughtful

0:44:39.080 --> 0:44:43.239
<v Speaker 1>question college football related marriage. Right, oh oh, here we

0:44:43.280 --> 0:44:46.120
<v Speaker 1>go this it comes to some Chris, and he said

0:44:46.160 --> 0:44:49.919
<v Speaker 1>that he struggled to watch as much college football as

0:44:49.960 --> 0:44:53.480
<v Speaker 1>he could when he was dating his wife. It was

0:44:53.520 --> 0:44:57.960
<v Speaker 1>always pressured to quote unquote do something on saturdays. Now

0:44:58.000 --> 0:45:01.960
<v Speaker 1>he's married, Now we bought a house. Does that mean

0:45:02.000 --> 0:45:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I'll be able to watch more college football? It's a

0:45:06.120 --> 0:45:10.600
<v Speaker 1>great question, hell of a question. I have lived this life,

0:45:10.680 --> 0:45:14.520
<v Speaker 1>don Chris. I have lived this life for the last

0:45:14.560 --> 0:45:19.360
<v Speaker 1>few college football seasons. This and only this is why

0:45:19.480 --> 0:45:24.120
<v Speaker 1>I started alerting people about the window of opportunity. Mm hmm,

0:45:25.280 --> 0:45:28.719
<v Speaker 1>all right, window of opportunity. Listen for it, live it.

0:45:29.880 --> 0:45:33.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to continue doing it this season because Chris,

0:45:33.680 --> 0:45:37.960
<v Speaker 1>it's not about you anymore. Your wife. She's got her

0:45:38.080 --> 0:45:40.920
<v Speaker 1>right to enjoy a weekend too. The trick is getting

0:45:40.920 --> 0:45:44.279
<v Speaker 1>out ahead of things. The trick is trick is knowing

0:45:44.320 --> 0:45:47.680
<v Speaker 1>on a Wednesday night or a Thursday morning, when you've

0:45:47.680 --> 0:45:51.040
<v Speaker 1>got the window to do the other things so as

0:45:51.160 --> 0:45:54.239
<v Speaker 1>to maximize the time on your Saturday you do have

0:45:54.800 --> 0:46:00.280
<v Speaker 1>to watch the best games at your disposal. Now working

0:46:00.280 --> 0:46:01.719
<v Speaker 1>in your favor, I think is the fact that you

0:46:01.800 --> 0:46:03.319
<v Speaker 1>just bought a house. Because if you bought a house,

0:46:03.360 --> 0:46:05.840
<v Speaker 1>you spend a lot of money. You and your missus

0:46:05.880 --> 0:46:08.200
<v Speaker 1>might be tightening the belt a little more cost conscious

0:46:08.760 --> 0:46:12.759
<v Speaker 1>cook in enjoy your Saturday inside your new home. That

0:46:12.800 --> 0:46:15.000
<v Speaker 1>could be your case, just to at a minimum keep

0:46:15.040 --> 0:46:19.759
<v Speaker 1>college trouble on in the background. But I think the

0:46:19.880 --> 0:46:25.640
<v Speaker 1>secret to really unlocking the optimal viewing experiences fall is

0:46:25.719 --> 0:46:28.160
<v Speaker 1>the window of opportunity, knowing in advance when you can

0:46:28.160 --> 0:46:30.000
<v Speaker 1>get out, when you can do those things that your

0:46:30.000 --> 0:46:33.040
<v Speaker 1>missus wants to do, and still be around to watch

0:46:33.080 --> 0:46:33.879
<v Speaker 1>the big games of the day.

0:46:33.960 --> 0:46:37.680
<v Speaker 2>I say, scrap Sunday entirely, open up your schedule every Sunday.

0:46:37.719 --> 0:46:39.319
<v Speaker 1>The NFL is trash. Just ignore it.

0:46:40.960 --> 0:46:44.879
<v Speaker 2>Figure out really fun interesting date night plans. Friday night,

0:46:45.719 --> 0:46:48.480
<v Speaker 2>I think your window of opportunity, maybe be productive around

0:46:48.480 --> 0:46:50.799
<v Speaker 2>the house, round the new house. Saturday morning, maybe only

0:46:50.840 --> 0:46:53.839
<v Speaker 2>half watch game day, quarter watch game day clean up.

0:46:55.000 --> 0:46:57.680
<v Speaker 2>In my very limited experience as a married person, tie

0:46:58.480 --> 0:47:00.680
<v Speaker 2>clean places makes everybody in a good mood.

0:47:00.880 --> 0:47:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Right? Does that sound reasonable? I believe so? Yah? Okay.

0:47:04.560 --> 0:47:06.200
<v Speaker 2>I would also say, if you've got a house, there's

0:47:06.200 --> 0:47:09.040
<v Speaker 2>a good shot you might have a new kitchen, a

0:47:09.080 --> 0:47:12.120
<v Speaker 2>new grill outside. I would figure out some sort of

0:47:12.120 --> 0:47:15.719
<v Speaker 2>cooking plan for the fall, Like let's experiment, let's let's

0:47:15.760 --> 0:47:18.960
<v Speaker 2>do barbecue stuff one week, let's maybe go healthy another week,

0:47:19.160 --> 0:47:21.600
<v Speaker 2>and sort of set a game plan. Football term tie

0:47:21.920 --> 0:47:24.160
<v Speaker 2>for that's like it's an activity that the two of

0:47:24.160 --> 0:47:25.000
<v Speaker 2>you can do together.

0:47:25.200 --> 0:47:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Invite people over.

0:47:26.080 --> 0:47:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes when people have a new house, they like they

0:47:28.840 --> 0:47:32.439
<v Speaker 2>like celebrating, they like partying, they like having a good

0:47:32.520 --> 0:47:36.719
<v Speaker 2>time enjoying guests. Make those plans ahead of time. Yeah,

0:47:37.120 --> 0:47:39.239
<v Speaker 2>and say this fall, we're doing X, Y and Z

0:47:39.960 --> 0:47:43.080
<v Speaker 2>and in the morning Saturday mornings, we're cleaning. On Sunday,

0:47:43.239 --> 0:47:45.439
<v Speaker 2>we're going for bike rides. You know all about that tie.

0:47:45.440 --> 0:47:47.319
<v Speaker 2>You probably have a score bottle. You're scoring all over

0:47:47.360 --> 0:47:51.120
<v Speaker 2>the place, right, absolutely, yeah, Yes, So the key is

0:47:51.160 --> 0:47:54.640
<v Speaker 2>to form a weekend plan and not just say every

0:47:54.680 --> 0:47:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Saturday IM watching football too bad? That I think is

0:47:57.400 --> 0:48:00.200
<v Speaker 2>the key. We have another question that's sort of tangential.

0:47:59.680 --> 0:48:00.399
<v Speaker 1>To this as well.

0:48:00.520 --> 0:48:03.919
<v Speaker 2>Oh, this is from our friend Dan, longtime listener. Yeah,

0:48:04.040 --> 0:48:05.879
<v Speaker 2>and I think you're going to recuse yourself and that's

0:48:05.880 --> 0:48:06.560
<v Speaker 2>totally fine.

0:48:06.840 --> 0:48:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, which question are we talking here?

0:48:10.520 --> 0:48:13.040
<v Speaker 2>Our friend Dan says, And this is tangential. At what

0:48:13.120 --> 0:48:17.000
<v Speaker 2>age can I stop going to my niece's birthday party?

0:48:15.719 --> 0:48:15.839
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:48:17.040 --> 0:48:19.640
<v Speaker 2>I say five? At that point she can have a

0:48:19.680 --> 0:48:22.359
<v Speaker 2>party with her friends. Now, this can apply to college

0:48:22.360 --> 0:48:24.840
<v Speaker 2>football season, also applies the rest of the year. But

0:48:25.000 --> 0:48:28.120
<v Speaker 2>certainly if you are a grown person, if you're an adult,

0:48:28.719 --> 0:48:32.719
<v Speaker 2>spending a Saturday afternoon at a park with a bunch

0:48:32.760 --> 0:48:34.919
<v Speaker 2>of three year olds five year olds who you don't

0:48:34.960 --> 0:48:37.840
<v Speaker 2>really know other than your relative may not be the

0:48:38.040 --> 0:48:40.840
<v Speaker 2>first or second or seventeenth choice you have for how

0:48:40.880 --> 0:48:42.600
<v Speaker 2>you're going to spend that weekend day. You've worked a

0:48:42.600 --> 0:48:44.359
<v Speaker 2>long week. Maybe that's not the first thing you want

0:48:44.400 --> 0:48:48.120
<v Speaker 2>to be doing. But I recognize that there are solutions

0:48:48.360 --> 0:48:51.200
<v Speaker 2>and compromises to all problems, problems, and this isn't really

0:48:51.200 --> 0:48:52.760
<v Speaker 2>a problem. This is your only problem.

0:48:52.800 --> 0:48:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Life is fine.

0:48:54.280 --> 0:48:57.480
<v Speaker 2>I would say, go out of your way to say,

0:48:57.880 --> 0:49:01.319
<v Speaker 2>oh wow, there's great college foot afternoon. The parties at one,

0:49:01.360 --> 0:49:03.680
<v Speaker 2>because generally little kid parties are in the afternoon, right,

0:49:03.840 --> 0:49:04.839
<v Speaker 2>they're not staying up late.

0:49:04.880 --> 0:49:06.080
<v Speaker 1>They're not right parties.

0:49:06.520 --> 0:49:08.440
<v Speaker 2>So they're in the morning, they're in the afternoon. Whatever,

0:49:08.600 --> 0:49:12.600
<v Speaker 2>it's great afternoon of college football. You say, no, I

0:49:13.080 --> 0:49:15.879
<v Speaker 2>love my niece. I'm going early and I'm gonna I'm

0:49:15.880 --> 0:49:17.399
<v Speaker 2>gonna play basketball with her. I'm gonna have a tea

0:49:17.440 --> 0:49:19.319
<v Speaker 2>party with her. I'm gonna do something. Go out of

0:49:19.360 --> 0:49:21.120
<v Speaker 2>your way to say to get out ahead of it,

0:49:21.239 --> 0:49:25.239
<v Speaker 2>just like you were talking about preempt So maybe the

0:49:25.280 --> 0:49:28.320
<v Speaker 2>parties called for one to four, and it's a princess party.

0:49:28.560 --> 0:49:31.240
<v Speaker 2>There's some pizza, there's some ice cream cake. That's fine,

0:49:31.360 --> 0:49:34.120
<v Speaker 2>it's a good time. Go at twelve thirty. Maybe help

0:49:34.200 --> 0:49:37.839
<v Speaker 2>set up, have someone on one time, enjoy yourself, take

0:49:37.920 --> 0:49:40.839
<v Speaker 2>some pictures, take a selfie, give a big hug. Maybe

0:49:40.880 --> 0:49:43.320
<v Speaker 2>say listen, I'm gonna hang out for an hour because

0:49:43.480 --> 0:49:45.080
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to stay home, but like, no, this is

0:49:45.120 --> 0:49:48.320
<v Speaker 2>important to me. I'm gonna hang out with Alison. She's great.

0:49:48.960 --> 0:49:50.920
<v Speaker 2>But then I'm gonna come back and watch football. I

0:49:50.920 --> 0:49:53.160
<v Speaker 2>think the key is in preempting TI show up, go

0:49:53.200 --> 0:49:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Friday night and hang out, then go Saturday morning a

0:49:55.600 --> 0:49:58.799
<v Speaker 2>little bit early, Go a little bit early, hang out,

0:49:59.239 --> 0:50:02.680
<v Speaker 2>show you care, but also preempt and schedule.

0:50:03.200 --> 0:50:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I just I'm going to recuse myself of this one. Dan.

0:50:05.680 --> 0:50:07.040
<v Speaker 1>I know you are. I know you are. I've got

0:50:07.080 --> 0:50:10.239
<v Speaker 1>five nieces and nephews under the age of eight, and

0:50:10.239 --> 0:50:13.439
<v Speaker 1>sure I love going to all their parties. It's it's

0:50:13.520 --> 0:50:16.400
<v Speaker 1>difficult for difficult for me to try and craft a

0:50:16.440 --> 0:50:17.759
<v Speaker 1>strategy to get out of them.

0:50:18.000 --> 0:50:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh I thought you were gonna say. I love going

0:50:19.640 --> 0:50:21.239
<v Speaker 2>to all of their parties. It is one of my

0:50:21.320 --> 0:50:23.919
<v Speaker 2>favorite things to do in life. Family is number one.

0:50:23.960 --> 0:50:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, no, no, I'm not reading. I'm not reading

0:50:26.920 --> 0:50:30.359
<v Speaker 1>off a script here. I'm tied blink three times. I'm

0:50:30.400 --> 0:50:32.799
<v Speaker 1>being very genuine. Okay, No, I know, I believe I'm

0:50:32.800 --> 0:50:36.040
<v Speaker 1>being very genuine here. Usually I feel like a jackass

0:50:36.040 --> 0:50:38.560
<v Speaker 1>when I show up and I'm in the corner watching watching.

0:50:38.760 --> 0:50:41.279
<v Speaker 1>Yes see, that's no good for anybody, right, I know,

0:50:41.440 --> 0:50:43.560
<v Speaker 1>but you know I do my best to try and

0:50:43.640 --> 0:50:48.080
<v Speaker 1>make both work. Obviously, are our circumstance here is a

0:50:48.120 --> 0:50:51.040
<v Speaker 1>little bit extreme in that we have to pay attention

0:50:51.080 --> 0:50:53.160
<v Speaker 1>to these games because what we do on Sunday mornings.

0:50:53.200 --> 0:50:57.080
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know, Dan, maybe like fifteen, maybe whenever

0:50:57.120 --> 0:51:01.160
<v Speaker 1>they get too old for you to be cool. At

0:51:01.200 --> 0:51:03.680
<v Speaker 1>that point, can you can you stop going? But for

0:51:03.760 --> 0:51:06.520
<v Speaker 1>the meantime, I'm just I'm cool with going.

0:51:07.080 --> 0:51:09.279
<v Speaker 2>You don't give it that you don't What do you

0:51:09.280 --> 0:51:11.560
<v Speaker 2>think about this has not anything to do with your life.

0:51:11.560 --> 0:51:14.200
<v Speaker 2>What do you think about my strategy of preempting.

0:51:13.960 --> 0:51:16.760
<v Speaker 1>I think it's very thoughtful. Yeah, I think it's very thoughtful.

0:51:16.760 --> 0:51:19.799
<v Speaker 1>I think it's important, especially in their formative years, that

0:51:19.880 --> 0:51:22.600
<v Speaker 1>you put the effort forth to let them know that

0:51:22.640 --> 0:51:25.359
<v Speaker 1>you care about their birthday. Sure, yeah, I think it's

0:51:25.360 --> 0:51:26.600
<v Speaker 1>a I think it's a good play if you could

0:51:26.600 --> 0:51:31.279
<v Speaker 1>pull it off, Dan and Dan uh, so be it.

0:51:31.360 --> 0:51:33.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't have the same problem because this is also

0:51:33.160 --> 0:51:37.680
<v Speaker 2>the day job, so correct Jody with and I knew before. Yeah,

0:51:37.680 --> 0:51:41.920
<v Speaker 2>like listen, Saturdays are our Dan workdays in the third person.

0:51:42.239 --> 0:51:44.919
<v Speaker 2>But yes, I think the preemptive thing because I really

0:51:44.960 --> 0:51:47.120
<v Speaker 2>like Jody's family. I really like hanging out with them,

0:51:47.200 --> 0:51:50.000
<v Speaker 2>and they know the deal. So I make every effort

0:51:50.000 --> 0:51:54.279
<v Speaker 2>I can and it's honestly not that difficult. Okay, yeah,

0:51:54.520 --> 0:51:56.080
<v Speaker 2>that would be my strategy for Dan.

0:51:56.400 --> 0:51:59.800
<v Speaker 1>All right, where you want to go next? Let's go too.

0:52:00.000 --> 0:52:03.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh, only a couple more questions. Uh sh Michigan State

0:52:03.640 --> 0:52:07.040
<v Speaker 2>be worried about program stability because of a bad twenty

0:52:07.120 --> 0:52:08.880
<v Speaker 2>sixteen Yeah?

0:52:08.920 --> 0:52:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Wow?

0:52:09.920 --> 0:52:14.560
<v Speaker 2>What is your long term prospect for the Spartans? Are

0:52:14.600 --> 0:52:17.440
<v Speaker 2>they in a good place? Obviously, they weren't built in

0:52:17.480 --> 0:52:20.399
<v Speaker 2>a number. You know, every team can't do what Alabama does.

0:52:21.480 --> 0:52:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Michigan State, are you worried?

0:52:23.880 --> 0:52:28.279
<v Speaker 1>Ah, a little bit. Okay, it was a bad year

0:52:28.320 --> 0:52:31.080
<v Speaker 1>for Michigan State, and there's a whole legal side to

0:52:31.120 --> 0:52:33.840
<v Speaker 1>it that we won't get into that was particularly troubling.

0:52:33.960 --> 0:52:37.279
<v Speaker 1>But as it relates to football three and nine last

0:52:37.360 --> 0:52:42.279
<v Speaker 1>year with a relatively experienced team, and I think that's

0:52:42.280 --> 0:52:45.440
<v Speaker 1>the rub because this year they're a lot less experienced

0:52:45.880 --> 0:52:51.439
<v Speaker 1>and probably ish a borderline bowl team. If all goes well,

0:52:53.239 --> 0:52:56.080
<v Speaker 1>I think twenty eighteen is probably the year that they

0:52:56.480 --> 0:52:59.960
<v Speaker 1>start making noise again. I'm not ready to start worrying now,

0:53:00.760 --> 0:53:03.359
<v Speaker 1>but if it's like a five and seven season and

0:53:03.400 --> 0:53:05.520
<v Speaker 1>we don't see a lot of strides forward by the

0:53:05.600 --> 0:53:08.000
<v Speaker 1>end of the year, I could see this being more

0:53:08.040 --> 0:53:10.800
<v Speaker 1>of a relevant talking point as we enter twenty eighteen.

0:53:11.040 --> 0:53:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that's reasonable.

0:53:12.080 --> 0:53:15.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Michigan State has always been a team, and they've

0:53:15.520 --> 0:53:17.799
<v Speaker 2>recruited as they've gotten better and have gone to Rose

0:53:17.840 --> 0:53:20.080
<v Speaker 2>Bulls whatever, they've recruited better. You know, two and three

0:53:20.120 --> 0:53:23.600
<v Speaker 2>stars became three and four stars, and that is a

0:53:23.640 --> 0:53:27.040
<v Speaker 2>surefire indicator that the brand has come up. That Mark

0:53:27.080 --> 0:53:30.479
<v Speaker 2>D'Antonio and his staff, and even weathering some changes Paton

0:53:30.600 --> 0:53:33.560
<v Speaker 2>or Dooosey going over to pitt they've still resonated with

0:53:33.680 --> 0:53:36.680
<v Speaker 2>high school players. And you know, it's tough in the

0:53:36.719 --> 0:53:39.239
<v Speaker 2>state of Michigan when you have such an outsized personality

0:53:39.280 --> 0:53:42.560
<v Speaker 2>recruiting so well with Jim Harbaugh and Michigan, But I

0:53:42.560 --> 0:53:44.759
<v Speaker 2>don't think they're in a horrible place. I think it's

0:53:44.840 --> 0:53:48.359
<v Speaker 2>so difficult to maintain eight nine, ten win eleven win

0:53:48.520 --> 0:53:52.160
<v Speaker 2>seasons that you are due for a lull, You are

0:53:52.239 --> 0:53:54.160
<v Speaker 2>due for a dut of a year. Maybe the players

0:53:54.160 --> 0:53:57.000
<v Speaker 2>don't come together as well as other squads have. Maybe

0:53:57.000 --> 0:53:59.719
<v Speaker 2>the coaches and players are on different pages, and you know,

0:53:59.800 --> 0:54:02.959
<v Speaker 2>everybody's at fault. When the season goes to the three

0:54:02.960 --> 0:54:05.520
<v Speaker 2>and nine, four and eight, two and ten level. So

0:54:06.200 --> 0:54:08.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm not selling on Michigan State. I still think there's

0:54:08.600 --> 0:54:11.040
<v Speaker 2>a lot there. Marked Antonio is not somebody who I

0:54:11.040 --> 0:54:14.839
<v Speaker 2>think a lot of smart people will continue to underestimate.

0:54:14.960 --> 0:54:18.080
<v Speaker 2>But I think it's it's fair to sort of recalibrate

0:54:18.239 --> 0:54:20.440
<v Speaker 2>expectations with Michigan State's future.

0:54:20.600 --> 0:54:22.600
<v Speaker 1>All right, I'm gonna go rapid fire here. Let's do

0:54:22.640 --> 0:54:25.880
<v Speaker 1>it around the questions that we haven't address yet. What

0:54:26.040 --> 0:54:30.040
<v Speaker 1>is your favorite non sports video game? Dan tiger Wood's Golf?

0:54:31.120 --> 0:54:35.520
<v Speaker 1>How dare you non sports? Street Fighter two Turbo? All right,

0:54:35.560 --> 0:54:39.840
<v Speaker 1>I'll go Mario Kart. I love the Mario or anything

0:54:40.360 --> 0:54:41.880
<v Speaker 1>in which I get to fly a plane or a

0:54:41.920 --> 0:54:44.759
<v Speaker 1>spaceship around and shoot at things. Mario Kart for which

0:54:44.800 --> 0:54:49.719
<v Speaker 1>system currently? The switch is pretty cool? Oh you got

0:54:49.760 --> 0:54:51.920
<v Speaker 1>the switch? I have the switch? Yeh? You like it?

0:54:52.520 --> 0:54:53.560
<v Speaker 1>I like Mario Kart on it.

0:54:53.640 --> 0:54:56.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm an N sixty four Mario Kart guy.

0:54:56.640 --> 0:54:59.560
<v Speaker 1>But that's okay. Question here about the Big Twelve. We

0:54:59.600 --> 0:55:02.480
<v Speaker 1>had a question about Texas and if they're going upset

0:55:02.520 --> 0:55:05.320
<v Speaker 1>anybody this year, if they'll be better. Also had another

0:55:05.400 --> 0:55:10.040
<v Speaker 1>question regarding the Big Twelve. Will we see three two

0:55:10.080 --> 0:55:12.040
<v Speaker 1>loss teams in the Big Twelve, which I think is

0:55:12.080 --> 0:55:15.440
<v Speaker 1>an interesting question, you know, because Oklahoma has to replace

0:55:15.480 --> 0:55:18.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot Oklahoma states a liability because of the defense.

0:55:18.880 --> 0:55:21.399
<v Speaker 1>The TC is still as Kenny Hill. So I think

0:55:21.400 --> 0:55:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the answer is yes, absolutely, you could see three four

0:55:24.120 --> 0:55:26.160
<v Speaker 1>teams with two losses in Big Twelve.

0:55:26.560 --> 0:55:29.360
<v Speaker 2>There's nobody I'm putting my foot down for in the

0:55:29.360 --> 0:55:32.400
<v Speaker 2>Big Twelve right now, maybe outside of Oklahoma, but not

0:55:32.480 --> 0:55:34.120
<v Speaker 2>even positive about that. I think it's going to be

0:55:34.160 --> 0:55:35.759
<v Speaker 2>a wild year in the Big Twelve. And I'm going

0:55:35.840 --> 0:55:37.879
<v Speaker 2>to stand by what I said a few weeks ago

0:55:37.920 --> 0:55:40.680
<v Speaker 2>when we last talked about this. The team Texas has

0:55:40.719 --> 0:55:43.959
<v Speaker 2>the best chance of upsetting, so somebody that's probably ranked

0:55:43.960 --> 0:55:47.160
<v Speaker 2>in the top fifteen or twenty based on circumstance early

0:55:47.200 --> 0:55:48.600
<v Speaker 2>in the year. I would have liked it better for

0:55:48.960 --> 0:55:51.319
<v Speaker 2>one or week two. But USC has Stanford the week

0:55:51.400 --> 0:55:54.879
<v Speaker 2>before Texas. I think that's not a great body blow

0:55:54.960 --> 0:55:57.000
<v Speaker 2>spot for the Trojans, who don't have a week off

0:55:57.040 --> 0:55:59.960
<v Speaker 2>all year, but especially early on, I think that may

0:56:00.120 --> 0:56:02.920
<v Speaker 2>be the spot, especially given Tom Herman and his ability

0:56:03.239 --> 0:56:05.720
<v Speaker 2>to lead teams to upsets over more talented teams.

0:56:05.719 --> 0:56:10.400
<v Speaker 1>In September, let's go back to Abbott, please, He's a

0:56:10.440 --> 0:56:14.799
<v Speaker 1>true patriot for asking this question. He's talking about sandwiches. Dan,

0:56:15.320 --> 0:56:17.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm ready a topic near and dear to your heart.

0:56:17.880 --> 0:56:20.400
<v Speaker 1>His dream is to one day open a sandwich shop.

0:56:20.440 --> 0:56:22.600
<v Speaker 1>If you had a sandwich named after you, what would

0:56:22.640 --> 0:56:25.840
<v Speaker 1>it be or what would be in it? Anything goes

0:56:26.400 --> 0:56:29.200
<v Speaker 1>I you know, it is an interesting question. Mine would

0:56:29.200 --> 0:56:31.799
<v Speaker 1>obviously be the Big Hog. I think that goes without saying.

0:56:31.840 --> 0:56:36.239
<v Speaker 1>But I just if you had a sandwich shop, what

0:56:36.320 --> 0:56:39.320
<v Speaker 1>would be your strategy for naming the sandwiches in your shop?

0:56:39.360 --> 0:56:43.600
<v Speaker 2>I'd probably name them after comedians, actors, maybe friends. My

0:56:43.880 --> 0:56:47.080
<v Speaker 2>specific sandwich would be called the dan Witch, obviously. Sure,

0:56:47.600 --> 0:56:51.560
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about roast turkey, spicy soaper soda, maybe a

0:56:52.200 --> 0:56:55.719
<v Speaker 2>spicy aoli, a spicy Mao sai of some kind.

0:56:55.640 --> 0:56:56.560
<v Speaker 1>A donkey sauce.

0:56:57.320 --> 0:57:01.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, please never say that again on this show. Thinly

0:57:01.320 --> 0:57:05.080
<v Speaker 2>sliced lettuce like Razor Razor Razor.

0:57:05.160 --> 0:57:05.319
<v Speaker 1>Thin.

0:57:05.400 --> 0:57:08.480
<v Speaker 2>The thinner the lettuce is sliced, the better. We're talking

0:57:08.520 --> 0:57:14.560
<v Speaker 2>dill pickle slices and probably some mustard and an option

0:57:14.719 --> 0:57:16.840
<v Speaker 2>to get a side of Marinera to dip in.

0:57:17.160 --> 0:57:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Not tomatoes, anything but tomatoes for you, anything but tomatoes.

0:57:22.120 --> 0:57:27.000
<v Speaker 2>So I'm going with that spicy sour crisp combination, probably

0:57:27.120 --> 0:57:30.320
<v Speaker 2>on a some sort of like french bag at French Roll.

0:57:31.120 --> 0:57:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I think it'd be fun to name sandwiches after

0:57:34.440 --> 0:57:39.880
<v Speaker 1>older or obscure college football players. Okay, so who stands

0:57:39.920 --> 0:57:42.760
<v Speaker 1>out to you? I mean, nobody stands out to me

0:57:42.880 --> 0:57:45.480
<v Speaker 1>per se. But if I could go into a sandwich

0:57:45.520 --> 0:57:47.840
<v Speaker 1>shop and order the knit bowlcar, that'd be pretty fun.

0:57:49.280 --> 0:57:50.800
<v Speaker 2>I think you just got to go last name the

0:57:50.840 --> 0:57:54.000
<v Speaker 2>best old last names, like the Entman after Steve Enttman

0:57:54.040 --> 0:57:54.640
<v Speaker 2>would be great.

0:57:55.080 --> 0:58:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let's go to only only Lineman. All Okay, that works? Yea.

0:58:00.440 --> 0:58:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Along the lines of food, what is the most overrated

0:58:02.640 --> 0:58:08.480
<v Speaker 1>food in the most overrated food? My answer is sushi.

0:58:10.200 --> 0:58:13.080
<v Speaker 2>I disagree with them, not a sushi fan at all.

0:58:13.320 --> 0:58:18.880
<v Speaker 2>Overrated food. Burgers, Yeah, I love burgers, but they're fine.

0:58:19.240 --> 0:58:22.360
<v Speaker 1>All right? Another food question, what is the best tailgate food?

0:58:22.880 --> 0:58:25.560
<v Speaker 1>And then also a question here about what is the

0:58:25.640 --> 0:58:28.920
<v Speaker 1>proper duration for a tailgate? What's the best time to tailgate?

0:58:29.640 --> 0:58:31.600
<v Speaker 1>A bunch in here, let me talk about the time

0:58:31.640 --> 0:58:35.720
<v Speaker 1>to tailgate. I think the best kickoff for a tailgate

0:58:35.800 --> 0:58:39.480
<v Speaker 1>is a three point thirty game, because with you, you

0:58:39.520 --> 0:58:42.120
<v Speaker 1>know you're not peer pressured into getting there early. And

0:58:42.160 --> 0:58:46.280
<v Speaker 1>if drinkings your thing, cracking one open at eight am,

0:58:46.320 --> 0:58:49.080
<v Speaker 1>you've got time to do that if you're interested. You've

0:58:49.120 --> 0:58:53.240
<v Speaker 1>also got time to get yourself in the proper headspace

0:58:53.320 --> 0:58:56.200
<v Speaker 1>before a game starts, and there's probably enough time to

0:58:56.200 --> 0:59:00.920
<v Speaker 1>come back afterwards and toss the pigskin around, talk the

0:59:00.960 --> 0:59:03.440
<v Speaker 1>game through with some of your buddies. So three thirty

0:59:03.480 --> 0:59:06.640
<v Speaker 1>for me is the is the proper kickoff time for

0:59:06.680 --> 0:59:09.600
<v Speaker 1>a good tailgate. As for the best food at a tailgate,

0:59:10.680 --> 0:59:13.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe I'm biased because of my Pennsylvania roots, but a

0:59:13.400 --> 0:59:18.000
<v Speaker 1>good cheese steak sure at a tailgate girl, Absolute peppers

0:59:18.000 --> 0:59:21.520
<v Speaker 1>and onions, some Amorosa rolls, That's where it's at for me.

0:59:22.760 --> 0:59:24.400
<v Speaker 2>I think you're right on ty. I think the three

0:59:24.440 --> 0:59:26.160
<v Speaker 2>thirty thing is right. You can get there as earlier

0:59:26.160 --> 0:59:27.440
<v Speaker 2>as late as you want. If you want to be

0:59:27.480 --> 0:59:29.440
<v Speaker 2>there in the morning just chilling out. If you want

0:59:29.480 --> 0:59:31.360
<v Speaker 2>to get there at noon or one and just eat

0:59:31.400 --> 0:59:34.400
<v Speaker 2>and go into the stadium also workable. The keys to

0:59:34.400 --> 0:59:38.240
<v Speaker 2>good tailgate food, I've tailgated at probably thirty five or

0:59:38.280 --> 0:59:41.640
<v Speaker 2>forty places. Now, you want a delivery vehicle and you

0:59:41.680 --> 0:59:46.240
<v Speaker 2>want structural integrity, so that by that I mean some

0:59:46.320 --> 0:59:50.840
<v Speaker 2>sort of Doughey something with meat inside. So whether it's tortillas,

0:59:50.880 --> 0:59:54.480
<v Speaker 2>whether it's bread, whether it's rolls, whatever, and you don't

0:59:54.480 --> 0:59:56.400
<v Speaker 2>want something that's going to fall apart on you. So

0:59:56.640 --> 0:59:59.560
<v Speaker 2>barbecue is great. Give me the brisket and a sandwich,

0:59:59.880 --> 1:00:02.240
<v Speaker 2>me the sausage into tortilla, Give me something. Give me

1:00:02.400 --> 1:00:05.920
<v Speaker 2>you want peeda, bread with pulled pork and slow whatever. Wonderful.

1:00:05.920 --> 1:00:07.959
<v Speaker 2>That's a great idea. I don't want to be using

1:00:08.000 --> 1:00:09.760
<v Speaker 2>forks and knives. I don't want to get my hands

1:00:09.800 --> 1:00:12.560
<v Speaker 2>crazy dirty if I'm reaching for beers, if I'm reaching

1:00:12.560 --> 1:00:14.680
<v Speaker 2>for cookies, if I'm throwing a football around, if I'm

1:00:14.680 --> 1:00:17.960
<v Speaker 2>playing cornhole. I want a delivery vehicle, and I want

1:00:18.000 --> 1:00:21.919
<v Speaker 2>structural integrity. So to me, the greatest possible tailgate food

1:00:21.920 --> 1:00:24.800
<v Speaker 2>would be like brisket tacos. You're mixing the South, you're

1:00:24.840 --> 1:00:27.160
<v Speaker 2>mixing the West coast. Nothing better than that. Get some

1:00:27.200 --> 1:00:30.000
<v Speaker 2>pico de gayo, get some salsa, Get whatever you need.

1:00:30.200 --> 1:00:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Brisket tacos, some some hot corn tortillas.

1:00:32.760 --> 1:00:35.080
<v Speaker 1>You're in a great place. Somebody asked us for an

1:00:35.160 --> 1:00:38.480
<v Speaker 1>under the radar pac twelve school to go and tailgate

1:00:38.520 --> 1:00:41.840
<v Speaker 1>and watch a game under the radar. Pac twelve.

1:00:42.080 --> 1:00:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Washington's really fun, but they themselves as a team are

1:00:44.880 --> 1:00:48.040
<v Speaker 2>not under the radar because it's on a lake. Stanford

1:00:48.120 --> 1:00:50.200
<v Speaker 2>is very chill and you'll get to watch good football.

1:00:50.680 --> 1:00:53.439
<v Speaker 2>But in terms of having a fun atmosphere, at least

1:00:53.480 --> 1:00:57.360
<v Speaker 2>early on in the season if they're not terrible, Arizona

1:00:57.440 --> 1:00:59.640
<v Speaker 2>is really fun. Tucson's out of the way, and I

1:00:59.640 --> 1:01:04.880
<v Speaker 2>hope that better this year, but good food options ample spacing.

1:01:05.600 --> 1:01:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Tucson itself is fun as a town. It's pretty hot,

1:01:08.000 --> 1:01:09.920
<v Speaker 2>so they have their games at night, so it's a

1:01:10.000 --> 1:01:14.880
<v Speaker 2>later game. The clientele tie attractive. Yeah, I've heard a

1:01:14.920 --> 1:01:18.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of attractive men and women going to Arizona games,

1:01:18.040 --> 1:01:20.160
<v Speaker 2>so it's a good time. I would say under the radar.

1:01:20.360 --> 1:01:21.360
<v Speaker 2>My answer is Arizona.

1:01:21.920 --> 1:01:23.600
<v Speaker 1>All right. I got a question here. Will we ever

1:01:23.840 --> 1:01:26.240
<v Speaker 1>see a team of college football that subscribes to the

1:01:26.320 --> 1:01:27.760
<v Speaker 1>never punt philosophy?

1:01:28.520 --> 1:01:31.000
<v Speaker 2>I wish, but no, there are too many people second

1:01:31.040 --> 1:01:36.000
<v Speaker 2>guessing and questioning, boosters, assistants, you know, presidents, whatever. It's

1:01:36.000 --> 1:01:38.280
<v Speaker 2>a great strategy. I think we're going to get closer

1:01:38.320 --> 1:01:41.400
<v Speaker 2>to that. I think teams will be more mathematically sound

1:01:41.440 --> 1:01:44.360
<v Speaker 2>about going forward on fourth down on the opponent's side

1:01:44.360 --> 1:01:46.240
<v Speaker 2>of the field. But no, the never punt philosophy, I

1:01:46.280 --> 1:01:46.840
<v Speaker 2>don't think we'll make.

1:01:46.920 --> 1:01:50.280
<v Speaker 1>It's too it's too risky in a profession coaching that

1:01:50.440 --> 1:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>has too much turnover and too much money. I don't

1:01:53.000 --> 1:01:53.840
<v Speaker 1>even think it's risky.

1:01:53.880 --> 1:01:55.880
<v Speaker 2>I think the math is generally on the side of

1:01:55.920 --> 1:01:58.800
<v Speaker 2>somebody doing that, but it's risky in terms of people

1:01:58.920 --> 1:02:00.240
<v Speaker 2>understanding what you're doing.

1:02:00.520 --> 1:02:06.040
<v Speaker 1>All right, rank these four vacation spots DAN beach, a

1:02:06.120 --> 1:02:09.880
<v Speaker 1>foreign country, a city, and the mountains.

1:02:12.040 --> 1:02:16.640
<v Speaker 2>Foreign country city, beach mountains.

1:02:17.920 --> 1:02:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'm writing these down. I've got I'm gonna go

1:02:19.960 --> 1:02:24.800
<v Speaker 1>beach Foreign Foreign beaches are great. Yeah, if we could

1:02:24.800 --> 1:02:28.000
<v Speaker 1>get like a merger of the two, that'd be cool.

1:02:28.040 --> 1:02:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll go beach, foreign country city, and then the mountains. Fourth.

1:02:32.120 --> 1:02:34.360
<v Speaker 2>Next year, we're doing a live show in Barcelona. We're

1:02:34.400 --> 1:02:38.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna get ties some harmon beautiful. All right, let's close

1:02:38.200 --> 1:02:41.400
<v Speaker 2>out on this, Dan, We've covered most of them. We

1:02:41.440 --> 1:02:43.520
<v Speaker 2>couldn't get to the hipster team, we couldn't get to

1:02:44.440 --> 1:02:48.680
<v Speaker 2>lost rivalries and bringing back all the alumnuses and or

1:02:48.720 --> 1:02:50.080
<v Speaker 2>alumni as it's known.

1:02:52.200 --> 1:02:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Somebody wanted to know about the single moment of joy.

1:02:58.920 --> 1:03:02.160
<v Speaker 1>I like this question, really cool question from Matt. He said,

1:03:02.200 --> 1:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>what single moment defines the official start of college football

1:03:06.000 --> 1:03:08.160
<v Speaker 1>for each of you? The first kickoff? First course, so

1:03:08.240 --> 1:03:12.480
<v Speaker 1>headgear pick your team's first game. Further, what single moment

1:03:12.640 --> 1:03:15.360
<v Speaker 1>do you look forward to every Saturday in the fall.

1:03:15.800 --> 1:03:19.200
<v Speaker 1>What's that little moment that still brings you all so

1:03:19.360 --> 1:03:21.080
<v Speaker 1>much joy after all of these years?

1:03:22.040 --> 1:03:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Two parter ty and I'm sure you have an answer. Yeah,

1:03:25.160 --> 1:03:29.040
<v Speaker 2>first one, waking up that first Saturday morning, that first

1:03:29.040 --> 1:03:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Saturday morning, and it's not about your own team and

1:03:31.480 --> 1:03:33.880
<v Speaker 2>the hope that you have for the fall. It's just saying,

1:03:34.200 --> 1:03:36.640
<v Speaker 2>this is the first Saturday morning of the college football season,

1:03:36.760 --> 1:03:39.080
<v Speaker 2>and that's the greatest thing ever. Let me get some breakfast,

1:03:39.200 --> 1:03:41.280
<v Speaker 2>let me turn on game day, let me just get

1:03:41.320 --> 1:03:44.400
<v Speaker 2>in this moment. So that's the one A, one B

1:03:44.720 --> 1:03:47.400
<v Speaker 2>is when your team lines up for the first kickoff,

1:03:47.400 --> 1:03:50.480
<v Speaker 2>either kicking it off or receiving that moment of just

1:03:50.560 --> 1:03:53.920
<v Speaker 2>like here is the potential energy of the season that's

1:03:53.920 --> 1:03:56.160
<v Speaker 2>about to get kinetic science terms.

1:03:57.160 --> 1:04:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay, for me, about you? For me, it's course in

1:04:00.200 --> 1:04:03.640
<v Speaker 1>the head gear Yeah, it's it's super fun. You know what,

1:04:04.400 --> 1:04:08.160
<v Speaker 1>It's been tried and true, and maybe it's a bit

1:04:08.240 --> 1:04:11.800
<v Speaker 1>tried at this point, but it's never not amusing for me.

1:04:12.040 --> 1:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I always smile. I always chuckle when I see it.

1:04:14.600 --> 1:04:17.280
<v Speaker 1>And also on the flip side, also on game day,

1:04:18.080 --> 1:04:22.160
<v Speaker 1>the cheese at real fan cam. Beyond that Rinaldi making

1:04:22.200 --> 1:04:25.520
<v Speaker 1>me cry. Sure, I think it was Jimmy V who

1:04:25.560 --> 1:04:27.840
<v Speaker 1>once said that you should laugh and cry every day.

1:04:27.960 --> 1:04:30.960
<v Speaker 1>That's a full one. So it's a full Saturday if

1:04:31.000 --> 1:04:33.800
<v Speaker 1>you get the laughter of the head gear and then

1:04:33.840 --> 1:04:37.080
<v Speaker 1>the crying from either Ronaldi or Notre Dame's defense one

1:04:37.160 --> 1:04:37.440
<v Speaker 1>or the other.

1:04:37.920 --> 1:04:43.080
<v Speaker 2>Here's my one c The first time I hear Dan Tye,

1:04:43.120 --> 1:04:47.720
<v Speaker 2>I need picks of the week. That's all in a

1:04:47.720 --> 1:04:50.200
<v Speaker 2>special moment, and that's one hundred percent true. When I

1:04:50.240 --> 1:04:52.400
<v Speaker 2>hear that for the first time, I think to myself,

1:04:52.440 --> 1:04:53.560
