1
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: And welcome to Lake Kick is Live. It is Sunday night,

2
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: July tenth, the Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty two,

3
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 1: mark my words, most important episode of this show, maybe

4
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: that we've ever done. We are jam packed high at

5
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: top just a spirited downtown Nashville, Tennessee. There's a lot

6
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: of drama out there right now, not just in Nashville,

7
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: in the recruiting world. There's a lot of drama specifically

8
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,319
Speaker 1: around Miami. So we got some myths that we need

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: to address tonight. We have some just outright things that

10
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: we need to address tonight. We have got several major

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: announcements I'm going to talk more about in just a second.

12
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: We got big swing games. I'm specifically looking at September,

13
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: even more specifically Week three and Week four, Bold Predictions

14
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: Hits Chapter twenty three Tonight.

15
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna make it to thirty.

16
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: I feel pretty confident in saying that recruiting is just

17
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: insane right now. I cannot believe how hot recruiting is

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: in July and what we would have thought about that

19
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: ten years ago. Recruiting calendar is totally different. If you're

20
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: not paying attention to recruiting right now, it's a kin

21
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: to not paying attention to recruiting in January of two

22
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: thousand and five. I mean that's what July has become.

23
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: June and July really, so strap in because it's going

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: to be a very very jam packed show. Dare I

25
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: say more jam packed than normal? Tonight they're watching us

26
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: in Chicago, Illinois, I'm told by way of Jacksonville.

27
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: I'm looking at you, Billy.

28
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: Welcome aboard a CIA, Italy is tuned in Louisville, Kentucky

29
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: and Boca Raton, Florida. You will remember this show, as

30
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: will we for a long time, and the longer you've

31
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: been with us, the more tonight's show will mean to you.

32
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: We got so many major announcements that we actually were

33
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: able to put one between each of our segments tonight.

34
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: So yes, in true form, I'm gonna string you through

35
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: this entire live show. But it is live, so let's

36
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: get to it. Luckily, we don't have a hard in

37
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: and a hard out, so we can really just mosey

38
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: along at our pace. But happy to have you with us.

39
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: So there's a lot going on around here on on

40
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: with the show. There's a lot going on with this

41
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: company around here too. That's where I wanted to spend

42
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: just a couple of minutes tonight. I know our friends

43
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: down in South Florida are tuned in with torch in

44
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: one hand and pitchfork in the other hand and just

45
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: drool coming out of their mouth. What am I talking about? Well,

46
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: you may or may not be aware that. Hey, recruiting.

47
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: Like I said, it's hot and Miami has been a

48
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: big part of that lately. So Miami fans this weekend,

49
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: it was kind of the best of times. It was

50
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: the worst of times. It was every kind of time

51
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: they could have. It was really good because Jaden Wayne

52
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: committed to the U And that's a really big pickup,

53
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: five star edge guy or is he more on that than.

54
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: Just a second? I saw the graphic, That's what it

55
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: said at the time. So I feel the same way

56
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 2: you guys do.

57
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: Anyway, he's a really really good edge rusher from South Florida.

58
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: He's at IMG. He's not from Florida, but he's at IMG.

59
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: He commits to Miami. Is that a big headline to you? Well, no,

60
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: not if you're in Norman, Oklahoma. Then it gets a

61
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: little saucier. So a couple of hours after he commits suspend.

62
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: It's just lea dare I say, sketch Aplelee. You see

63
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: that twenty four seven Sports Composite rating of mister Wayne

64
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: dropped from five star to four star. And then guess

65
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: what happened, guys. Chaos, utter chaos ensued. I felt so

66
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: bad for David Lake and Gabby down there at the

67
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: Miami site. They're just I mean, they're they're both leaned

68
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: against the door trying to keep the natives out to

69
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: no avail because Miami fans rightly got upset at that.

70
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: I know that you see this white T shirt. You

71
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 1: don't see a twenty four to seven or CBS label here.

72
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: I was made aware of this by you guys, very

73
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: rarely when these sorts of things happen. Am I made

74
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: aware of it by people inside our company. I'm minding

75
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: my business and all of a sudden, I mean, I

76
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: got tons of Miami folks that I converse with regularly,

77
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: and they're asking, how dare you you know as if

78
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: I did this, so how did this happen? I'll tell

79
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: you how it happened in just second. But I get

80
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: that ninety eight percent of you aren't affected by this.

81
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: But boy, What I love about college football. What I

82
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: love about Miami fan base is they don't take time off.

83
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: That's kind of why we do the show year round.

84
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: Like our audience is sort of endemic of hardcore college

85
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: football fans. It's a twelve month year thing. There is

86
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: no season's when we don't use the word on this show.

87
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: I'm in a pretty unique spot though. Here's why I

88
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: felt the need to talk on this tonight. I can

89
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: assure you Management didn't tell me too. If anything, they

90
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: would prefer I didn't because of what I'm about to say.

91
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: But I'm in a pretty unique position because, as most

92
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: of you know if you've watched the show for quite

93
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: a while, I was a subscriber to this site long

94
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: before I ever came to work here in any capacity.

95
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: So I kind of have I've got institutional knowledge now

96
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: that I've been here a little while, But I didn't

97
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: grow up in this industry. I was a subscriber, man,

98
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: Like I remember recruiting battles back in the early two thousands,

99
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: and I remember twenty four to seven first coming to

100
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: be like, I remember all that.

101
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: Just like most of you do.

102
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: So what's unique about it is when Shannon Terry called

103
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: me and ended up offering me a job here.

104
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: I was excited number one because of the obvious, but.

105
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: Number two goes, hey, I'm kind of fascinated by recruit

106
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: and I got to see behind the curtain, and so.

107
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 2: I've got the perspective of you guys.

108
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: I still talk to you guys far more than maybe

109
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: our folks here. But also I'm here now so I

110
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: can kind of see the mechanism at work. I can

111
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: see behind the curtain a little bit. Here's what I

112
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: want to tell you about what happened and the explanation

113
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: that's been given out by our team. It checks out

114
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: like I did my due diligence on this, I made calls.

115
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: What happened was you've got the twenty four to seven

116
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: rating on a kid, and then you got the composite

117
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: rating on a kid.

118
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: And for those unfamiliar with.

119
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: How this works, I'll bore you and spare you boring

120
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: you with the details. But all it is is a

121
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: composite system to where you take all the rankings from

122
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: the entire industry and all the services, and you bake

123
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: it into one cake and VOILA problem is when a

124
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: kid transfers from one state to another state. It really

125
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: throws that into a blender because the kids ranking may

126
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: not change, but what happens are state rankings get changed

127
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: and positional rankings get changed. And so when this kid

128
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: transferred to IMG, I don't think that whatever that composite

129
00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,799
Speaker 1: system is, I don't pretend to know how it works.

130
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: It didn't bake all that in. What happens Saturday when

131
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: Jade and Wayne committed is there's a lot of tension

132
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: on his account, on his profile, and someone realized, oh, oh,

133
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: we didn't properly refresh this, and so a couple of

134
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: hours after he's committed, and one of the more tone

135
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: def moves I've seen in quite a while around here,

136
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: someone refreshed it and it made a lot of people angry,

137
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: as it should have.

138
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 2: So I got no problem with you being irate about that.

139
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: And I think I've talked to the Miami folks I've

140
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: been on the board today. I get that most of

141
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: you understand the explanation you've been given checks out like

142
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: that's not the craziest thing in the world. There was

143
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: a technical oversight and you get it, and I can

144
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: assure you that is what happened. But then the follow

145
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: up that I've gotten for most of my Miami brethren

146
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: has been But it's about the bigger picture.

147
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 2: And if it was just.

148
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: That, it'd be one thing.

149
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 2: But it's about the bigger picture. Now.

150
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: When you guys say bigger picture, they're two different camps.

151
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: Camp A just means how could you allow that to happen?

152
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: I got no real rebuttal there. Okay, you're right to

153
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: be angry about that. I can promise you there are

154
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: some meeting scheduled bright and early tomorrow to address that.

155
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: So your voices have been heard loud and clear. I

156
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: saw some of you dragging management on social earlier today.

157
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: It's only supposed to be me doing that. I cannot

158
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: believe you guys took it through in that too, So

159
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: God bless management what they had to deal with today.

160
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: They didn't really have their hands in that either. But

161
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's like dunder Mefflin.

162
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: When you put an obscene watermark on your butterstock, your

163
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: most popular paper, and the lady comes and she wants vengeance.

164
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: It's on you. She wants you to resign. I don't

165
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: think anyone's resigning, But yeah, technical oversight, notwithstanding the other

166
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: camp that says it's about the bigger picture. That's the

167
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: camp I want to talk about, because I really wanted

168
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: to start the show with some of the myths that

169
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: are out there. I'm going to talk about Notre Dame

170
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: weirdly in a second. It's going to be a very

171
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: abrupt transition. There is a notion, there is a belief

172
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: out there amongst some of our Miami brethren. You're not alone.

173
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: Pretty much every fan base has a portion said fan

174
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: base that believes this, and they believe that there is

175
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: an inherent anti Miami bias in the recruiting ranking process

176
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: and then in the updated ranking process. If and when

177
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: a kid commits to Miami. Here's what you can do tonight.

178
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: I cannot bring you up here and put you through

179
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: a seminar. I cannot give you the zoom password to

180
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: the rankings council meetings. Here's what I can tell you,

181
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: and you can take it or leave it. I have

182
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: no motivation to defend this company if they're doing something wrong.

183
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: Those of you who have been around this show for

184
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: quite a while know I mean that when I say that,

185
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: because you've heard me call us out when we need

186
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: to be called out, and the reason I preface this

187
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: with that is because I am telling you straight up,

188
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: it's not happening. That doesn't happen here. And I know

189
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: what you believe because I used to believe it. This

190
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 1: is where the unique perspective comes in. You see, once

191
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: upon a time, a little JP here was a mere

192
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: subscriber to these websites, and I had my teams that

193
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: I liked, and I used to watch this process play out,

194
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 1: and I used to watch guys commit, and I used

195
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: to watch those star rankings fluctuate. Now, what stuck in

196
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: my mind was never the kid who commits and then

197
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: sees his ranking bump. I would only remember the kids

198
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: who saw their ranking fault. That would stick in my mind.

199
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: Kind of like when you only remember when announcers say

200
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: bad things about your team, but you never remember that

201
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: they probably balance it out and then some by saying

202
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 1: good things. None of that sticks in your mind. Only

203
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: the negative sticks in your mind. And so when I

204
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: got here, I was confident. I told my buddies, man,

205
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: I bet I see all kinds of bias in that

206
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: ranking system. I even asked and was granted access to

207
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: sit in on the rankings council meeting it's one of

208
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: the most boring things. If you don't care about that stuff,

209
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: it's one of the most boring things that you could

210
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: ever witness. But it is a very honest and straightforward process.

211
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 1: I was a little disappointed, to be honest with you,

212
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: because I thought that I was going to uncover something,

213
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: and it's like turning over a rock and the ants

214
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: fall there is there's no snake here, no vermin, Here's

215
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: just ants. I'm not comparing our recruiting count to that,

216
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: mind you, But here's what those guys do. Those guys

217
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: go at it with each other. They stand on the

218
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: table for certain kids. They want to get their eyeballs

219
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: on as many kids as possible. But when it comes

220
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: down to rating kids, it might as well be a

221
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: blind resume that they're rating. Very rarely, if ever, do

222
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 1: you hear so much as a mention of what team

223
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 1: a kid's committed to. Now, I will tell you where

224
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: I guess a modicum of this may be true. If

225
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: I'm on a rankings council. Let's just say I'm on

226
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: it for a second. I never have been, I never

227
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: will be. I've never ranked kid in my life. But

228
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: if I were on that rankings Council, and I had

229
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: a kid ranked two stars just or unranked, I just

230
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: haven't even bothered to rank him. He's outside my top

231
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 1: one thousand, and I get text messages over a three

232
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: hour period that say, Ryan Day, Nick Saban, and daboswenty.

233
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 2: All offered him.

234
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm probably more likely than I otherwise would have

235
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: to give that kid a second look, because I know,

236
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: as good as I may think I am, those guys

237
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: are better, and those guys may know something, especially all

238
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: three of them at one time, that I don't know.

239
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, if if those big programs in Unison move

240
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: on a kid, they're probably gonna get a second look

241
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: disproportionate to the second look they would have gotten otherwise.

242
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: I'll admit that, and that's me talking personally. I would

243
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: do that, and so it would not surprise me if

244
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: that happened at all. But to suggest, I just want

245
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: you to be honest with me for a second now,

246
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: To suggest that there is a motivation to knock kids

247
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 1: who commit to Miami is ludicrous. Do you want me

248
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: to tell you where the bias would be if there

249
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: were any bias baked into this process. We have meetings

250
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 1: all the time around here. It sounds just like conference realignments,

251
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: kind of grosswitch which markets are the biggest? Which ones

252
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: do we need to make more impressions in. Do you

253
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: understand how valuable the Miami market is? Just think this

254
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: out loud, now you understand how valuable that is. If

255
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: there were any bias around here, here's what it would

256
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: sound like. It would be Wiltfong, or it would be Cooper,

257
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: it would be Chris, or it'd be somebody whispering in

258
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: the other guy's ear.

259
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: Hey, ket committed to Miami. Let's bumping a little bit.

260
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 2: You know.

261
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: If we're gonna have some bias here, let's get us

262
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: a stronger foothold in that Miami market.

263
00:11:59,200 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 2: That's what it would sound like.

264
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: Anyone around here who said, let's knock a kid because

265
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: he committed to Miami would probably be fired before sundown,

266
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: as they should, because it would be one of the

267
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: stupidest things you could ever do.

268
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 2: That's not happening.

269
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: If it were happening, I can also assure you that

270
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: Miami class wouldn't be parked inside the top ten and

271
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: probably about to elevate to the highest ranking they've had

272
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: in the twenty four to seven sports era. That's all

273
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: about to happen, By the way, I would bet a

274
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: lot of money on that. So that's not happening. What

275
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: did happen is an error that should never have occurred.

276
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: That did happen this weekend. The other stuff not happening.

277
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: You can either take my word on that or you

278
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: can leave it. You can call me a liar.

279
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: That's fine.

280
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:34,599
Speaker 1: I'm telling you.

281
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 2: I'm not lying.

282
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: I'm telling you I'm being honest about it. And I

283
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: got a better perspective than any of you because I'm here.

284
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: I know all those guys, I talk to all those guys,

285
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: and I know how serious they are about it. That's

286
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: one part of the myth that I wanted to knock

287
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: be on tonight. But just as sure as I was

288
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: about to move on the other day, someone else came

289
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: at me with an entirely different myth. And they came

290
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: at me with the old standby, which is Notre Dame

291
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: does not play a tough schedule. In fact, Notre Dame

292
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: plays a soft schedule. So here's normally how this goes.

293
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: You cannot have a sustainable data based argument against Notre

294
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: Dame strength of schedule. It doesn't exist because any reputable,

295
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: data based or analytical model out there tells you the

296
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: same thing. Notre Dame plays a very strong schedule. In fact,

297
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: most years it's top fifteen in the country. To give

298
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: you a data point of our own, our system, our

299
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: model preseason has Notre Dame schedule ranked.

300
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 2: Twelfth in the country this year.

301
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: It will fluctuate. I'm just saying we think highly of

302
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: their schedule this year. So since you can't base it

303
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: on data and logic, it quickly devolves into just pure emotion.

304
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: Some of the most mindless, flawed logic in all of

305
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: college football is reserved for Notre Dame strength of schedule arguments,

306
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: And once you get them off the rocker a little bit,

307
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: because they can't back it up with numbers, it'll sound

308
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 1: something like this, well they need to join a conference irrelevant, Well,

309
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: they don't play a conference championship game, irrelevant to the

310
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: one through tell of argument.

311
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: If you want to argue with me that it's wrong that.

312
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: Notre Dame doesn't have to play conference title game, I'll

313
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: be happy to have the argument with you. I may

314
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: even agree with you. It's going to be a separate

315
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: argument that doesn't impact how strong they're one through twelve

316
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: is there one through twelve is the only matter on

317
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: the table right now? And so then they continue. I mean,

318
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: our buddy Chris Marler came at me with his trash today, said,

319
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: you know what proves that Notre Dame plays a soft schedule?

320
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: What's that, Christopher?

321
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: They get blown out every time they go to the playoff,

322
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: so would everybody else. I didn't tell you that Notre

323
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: Dame was the best program in the country. I didn't

324
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: tell you that they were a top four program.

325
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 2: In the country. I told you they don't play a

326
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: week schedule.

327
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: In fact, they can get beat by one hundred and

328
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: fifty every time they go to the playoffs. It says

329
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: nothing about their strength of schedule. If you want to

330
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: argue whether they should have had to play conference title game,

331
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: if you want to argue whether they're overrated or not,

332
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: whatever they play, the schedule they play. But that leads

333
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: into another argument that I always have, and that's the

334
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: Notre Dame is overrated argument, And me and Notre Dame

335
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: has been for quite a while the most easily rated

336
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: in America. It's so easy to see where they fit in.

337
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: They're not Bama, they're not Clemson. They're not Ohio State,

338
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: they're not two or three other pro maybe Oklahoma you

339
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: could include in there over the past decade, and then

340
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: Notre Dame is situated somewhere behind them, somewhere in that

341
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: four to eight range.

342
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 2: That's where Notre Dame sits.

343
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: That is so easy to see if you apply data

344
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: and logic. Then people come at you and say, what

345
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: about when they've gone to the playoff? Undress it. Keep going, yeah,

346
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: keep talking. You've got the losing argument here, so keep talking. Well,

347
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: then they just go like this for a second and then

348
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: they say, yeah, well they got blown out by Bama.

349
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: I didn't say they were better than Bama. You said

350
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: they were overrated. They weren't favored against Bama. They shouldn't

351
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: have beaten Bama. Continue, well, they got blown up by Clemson.

352
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: There were a dog against Clemson. No one said they

353
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: were better than Clemson. I'm saying they're rated four through eight,

354
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: and every time they play a team rated higher than

355
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: four through eight, they should lose to them. And then

356
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: every time they play a team behind them last ten

357
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: years says they're probably better than them. Like Notre Dame's

358
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: so easy to figure out I've never gotten how people

359
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: get so out of whack on this, but it's probably

360
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: the same reason there and a lot of people have

361
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: worked up about this whole conference realignment deal and whether

362
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: they should or shouldn't join a conference.

363
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: Now.

364
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: I just wanted to lead off the show with a

365
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: couple of those myths. It's probably going to be a

366
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: segment we dive into a lot more in the coming

367
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: weeks because I got so many more submissions from you

368
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: on the biggest myths that we need to bat away

369
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: like a pinata front. So appreciate you guys being tuned in. Okay,

370
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: we got so many big announcements. Here's the first one.

371
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 2: You know what.

372
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: Normally happens in this position in this show, in any

373
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: of our veterans or you know what, even if you're

374
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: like a sophomore and you've been around here a few weeks,

375
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: you know this is the time normally where if you're

376
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: a good member of the audience, you stick around and

377
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: you patronize the sponsor, and if you're a little more

378
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: casual in nature, you hit the fast forward button. Don't

379
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: hit the fast forward button tonight, friends, this is where

380
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: the Academy Sports and Outdoors ad read normally goes, I

381
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: don't have you an ad read tonight, at least not

382
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: a traditional one. What I do want to tell you

383
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: is I normally him hah around a little bit, and

384
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: I tell you, boy, you make this show special.

385
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 2: Boy.

386
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: Those folks at Academy really love you, and I think

387
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: a lot of you believe that, But I don't know

388
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: that all of you believe that.

389
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 2: Well.

390
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: Allow me to present the most compelling bit of evidence

391
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: that I could possibly present to you. As of Friday morning,

392
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: we finalized the deal with Academy Sports and Outdoors to

393
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: become the presenting sponsor on this show. Some of you

394
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: who have existed in this business before know what I

395
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: just said. It's total game changer for the ninety nine

396
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: percent of you who have never worked in the media industry,

397
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: let me tell you that is a Tier one sponsorship.

398
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: They literally could not invest any more in this show

399
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: if they wanted to.

400
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 2: When I have told you for months and months and months.

401
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: That you were making special things happen behind the scenes,

402
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: it's because I was getting weekly feedback from Academy Sports

403
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: and Outdoors where they said, these interactions with your audience

404
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,719
Speaker 1: are insane. They tag us every day they're taking pictures

405
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: of their receipts. They're going in our stores and asking

406
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,239
Speaker 1: the cashier if they know you. Short answer no, at

407
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: least not yet. Hopefully one day they will. And they

408
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: have now invested into this show that's just two years old,

409
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: started from scratch a couple of years ago during a pandemic,

410
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: to the degree that you will never have to worry

411
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: about paying for this thing. This show is going to

412
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: be free forever thanks to our partners and our presenting sponsor.

413
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: Now at the Academy Sports and Outdoors, it ain't just

414
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 1: Late Kick with Josh ped anymore. Starting September one, it

415
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: is the Late Kick with Josh Pate, presented by Academy

416
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: Sports and Outdoors.

417
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 2: I cannot even.

418
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: Begin to tell you how big that is financially for

419
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 1: this company, financially for this brand. But for you, that

420
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: means you get to tune into this thing and never

421
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: have to worry about it moving somewhere, change, and all

422
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: of a sudden it's behind a paywall.

423
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 2: None of that.

424
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: We're blessed enough to have a partner that believes in

425
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: US and invests in US. That is about one percent

426
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: because of US and ninety nine percent because of you.

427
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 1: That is announcement one out of the way.

428
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 2: Thank you for that.

429
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: It is beyond huge for us. We got three more

430
00:18:53,840 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: to come, just getting started. Bold Predictions Chapter twenty three.

431
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 2: Can you believe we've made it this far?

432
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: These are the things that you have claimed and then

433
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: you followed it up with and I would bet my

434
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: money on it if you made me. Let's dive into

435
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: Bold Predictions Chapter twenty three. Tonight, how about conference championship matchups?

436
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 1: Man of Hate, hit us up. Not a single Power

437
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: five conference championship game will be a repeat of last

438
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: year's matchup. Much love from a fellow Fountain City native

439
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: that's Columbus Georgia. To the layperson out there, I made

440
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: this a seven on the boldness scale. Now here's a

441
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: quick recap. If you're listening on podcast, you need to

442
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 1: listen here. If you're watching on YouTube, you can see

443
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: last year's conference title rematches Pitt versus Wake Forest to

444
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 1: give you an idea preseason odds. This year, Pitt is

445
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: the second odds on favorite in their division. Wake Forest

446
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: is third, so neither of them are favored to get

447
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: the conference title game. Next up in the Big Twelve,

448
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: Baylor versus Oklahoma State. Baylor has the fourth best odds

449
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: in the Big twelve, Oklahoma State has the third best odds,

450
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: so probably gonna see a different match up there.

451
00:19:59,200 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: We move on.

452
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: What about Michigan versus Iowa in the Big Ten. Michigan

453
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 1: has the second best odds in their division behind Ohio State, obviously,

454
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: and Iowa has the third best odds.

455
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 2: In the Pac twelve Utah versus Oregon.

456
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: They have the second and third best odds to win

457
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: the conference, and it's all kind of neck and neck

458
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: up there. Anyway, you hear what I'm telling you, So far,

459
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: we don't have a one versus one match up here.

460
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: In fact, none of these teams so far are favored

461
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: to make it back to their conference title games. Then

462
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: you get to Bama Georgia and they are the overwhelming

463
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: favorites in the SEC to both make it to the

464
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: championship game in their respective divisions.

465
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 2: So the prediction here is we won't have a.

466
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: Single rematch in conference title games the first four I

467
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 1: read you, it's easy to see. I mean, I could

468
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: easily see a world where neither Pitt nor wake Forest

469
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: even make the ACC title game. Ditto in the Big

470
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 1: Twelve of Baylor, Oklahoma State. The SEC is what's in

471
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: your way here, because obviously you're looking at the odds

472
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: if you're listening on podcasts. Georgia is a plus one

473
00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: twenty favorite to win the East. Kentucky is plus four thousand.

474
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: That's how overwhelming the odds are for Georgia. Bama's minus

475
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: one forty to win the West. A and M is

476
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: a plus sixteen hundred. That's to win the SEC championship.

477
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 1: But it's given you, it's giving you an idea of

478
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: how wide the gap is between the teams. I made

479
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: this a seven. I think it's bold to say you

480
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: won't have a single rematch. It's just because of the SEC,

481
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: because outside of that, this wouldn't be bold at all.

482
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: The SEC is what potentially could get in your way there.

483
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: Next up, Oh, this was a fun one. Here close

484
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: your eyes. In Austin, Kyle said, at the end of

485
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: the year, there will be three teams. Count the three

486
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: teams from the state of Texas ranked higher than the

487
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: Longhorns checking in from San Antonio, Texas.

488
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 2: So stat's an info.

489
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: Whereas you may know him, producer Jesse, he said, we

490
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: got seven candidates here, really, so with all due respect

491
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: to Rice's food is not going to enter into this equation.

492
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: We got Houston A and M, Baylor, TCU, SMU, Texas Tech,

493
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 1: and UTSA. Those reasons could be there, but here's what

494
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: you really need to know. For three teams in this

495
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: state to finish higher than Texas, we're probably looking at

496
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: Houston A and M, UTSA and Baylor. We're probably choosing

497
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: from them. Houston's over under win total is nine A

498
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 1: and M's is eight and a half. UTSA is eight

499
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: and a half, and by comparison, Texas is nine. So

500
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: there are three other teams in Texas that have an

501
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: over under win total of at least eight. In fact, Baylor, UTSAA,

502
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: and M in Houston, so there are four of them

503
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: aside from Texas, that have over under win totals of

504
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,959
Speaker 1: at least eight. This all falls on Quinn viewers, though,

505
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 1: doesn't it, Because it really doesn't matter what UTSA does,

506
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: all due respect. If Texas is taking care of business,

507
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: if they're winning nine or ten games, they're ranked higher

508
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: than UTSAB.

509
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 2: And so that all falls on Quinn viewers.

510
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: And if he plays even remotely up to what you

511
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,479
Speaker 1: think potential is and what you think capability is so

512
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: many of those other pieces fall in place. Think about

513
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: what Isaiah and Nayer is, you know, the Wyoming wide

514
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: receiver transfer, what is he? If quinn Ewers pans out,

515
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: all that stuff falls into place, xavier' worthy could be

516
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: an All American in his sophomore campaign. If quin Yours

517
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: pans out, you know, I get kind of quiet there,

518
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: because that's the million dollar question, or in his case,

519
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: multimillion dollar question in Austin. I can see one or

520
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 1: maybe even two of these teams finishing higher rank than

521
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: Texas short of like an injury situation, which we don't

522
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: predict on the show.

523
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 2: I don't see three of them doing it. So I

524
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 2: made this an eight.

525
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: I've got some confidence in Texas this year, like I

526
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: didn't necessarily have last year.

527
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 2: Not telling you they're winning the Big Twelve.

528
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: I just need them to be ranked higher than Baylor

529
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: or Texas Tech or TCU or something like that. So

530
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it an eight. I think it's a

531
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: little too bold for my taste. Let's go over to

532
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: the SEC East for a second.

533
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 2: How about this one. This was pretty bold.

534
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: South Carolina gonna go two and two against these four

535
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: teams at Arkansas Home versus Georgia Home versus A and

536
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 1: M at Clemson. South care Carolina's defense also takes a

537
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,959
Speaker 1: huge leap under second year coordinator Clayton White. So all

538
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: due respect to coach White there, I'm mainly going to

539
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: focus on the predicted records here. This one's an eight.

540
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: This is tough to see, not impossible, tough to see though.

541
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: This is why I keep warning about properly gauging progress

542
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: under Shane Beemer year two at South Carolina. Look, there

543
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: is certainly a world where they pull a couple of

544
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: big time upsets. In fact, if there were a program

545
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: out there that we're going to be a candidate to

546
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: do that this year, I'd probably look at South Carolina.

547
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: I mean, they had a really good portal class, highlighted

548
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: by Spencer Ratler. Obviously that year two magic that sometimes

549
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: we see, Hey, if it's going to happen somewhere, why

550
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: not happen at South Carolina. But you got to understand something.

551
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: Think about last year. You know I agree with you

552
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: if you tell me South Carolina overachieved last year. They did. Okay,

553
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: here's the problem, and it shows you how white to

554
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: gap you got to make up South Carolina in an

555
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: overachievement year. Last year, they played three of these teams.

556
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 2: They played Texas A and M.

557
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: They played Georgia they I mean they played Yeah, they

558
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: played Bama.

559
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 2: Whoever they Listen.

560
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: They lost three of these games by twenty seven to

561
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 1: more last year. So there were three of these opponents

562
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: that were already on their schedule last year and they

563
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: got housed by them. Clemson was the other one they

564
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: got house by them. So there's a lot that has

565
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: to be made up here. So we're looking to pull

566
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: two upsets. They're on the road at Arkansas, they are

567
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: on the road at Clemson. I've got to figure you know,

568
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: you're trying to start early. You get Arkansas in week two.

569
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: If you pull that off and you come home and

570
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: you got Georgia, maybe you have the hornet's nest there

571
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: and you catch Georgia early in the season.

572
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 2: Young defense, listen.

573
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's certainly a path for it. I think it's unlikely,

574
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: but here's what I want to know. Are you losing

575
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: games by three or four touchdowns again? Or do you

576
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: have a situation where.

577
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 2: You know, we're losing to Georgia thirty to twenty.

578
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: We're losing to Texas A and M twenty seven to

579
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 1: twenty six. That's a different world than what we saw

580
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 1: last year. So I'm gonna call that an eight. It

581
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: is very bold, though not impossible. Next up, this would

582
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: be tough to stomach there on the East Coast, ACC

583
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: left out of the playoff again this year. Big ten's

584
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: gonna have one team, Big twelve will have one team,

585
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: SEC has two teams. Okay, Jared, here's what I'm gonna do.

586
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: That was from Jared. Gonna ignore that second part. I'm

587
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: just gonna focus on the ACC part because that would

588
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: become way too cluttered here. I called this a six

589
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: because it's really on Clemson until further notice, this is

590
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: a Clemson thing. If Clemson makes it, then you're wrong,

591
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 1: and if they or if they make it, you're right.

592
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: And if they if they miss out, you're wrong. The

593
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: ACC getting left out, it's only happened once since the

594
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: playoffs inception, which was in twenty fourteen, and that was

595
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: last year. So I guess you're looking to make it

596
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: a streak here. I think it's still Clemson or bust

597
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: in twenty two. If they're not, you're probably looking at

598
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: Miami you're looking at a long shot there. But the

599
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: reason why I made this a six is I think

600
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: there's some boldness to it. But there are two schools

601
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: of thought. Either Clemson just makes it and it's a

602
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: moot point, or they miss out. And then the second

603
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: part of that is, if Clemson misses out, you have

604
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 1: to make sure no one knocked them out to the

605
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: point where that team in and of themselves were qualifiers

606
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: for the playoffs. So you need like a one or

607
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: a two loss team, probably in the ACC title game,

608
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 1: or you know, maybe Clemson just drops a couple of

609
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: games early so their playoff resume is thrown in the

610
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: wood chipper, but they're still good enough to just beat

611
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of battered teams and root to an ACC championship.

612
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: I think the ACC is going to find a way

613
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: to be included this year, at least I lean slightly

614
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: that way. But I do still call this one a

615
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: six on the boldness scale. Last one, well second to

616
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: last one. How about this? Someone told me today we

617
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: don't talk enough G five. Well we'll stick this and

618
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: you're piping smoking, Trestan said, Butch Jones, Remember coach Jones,

619
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: he has a complete turnaround in a year two, he

620
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: leaves the Arkansas State Red Wolves to six plus wins

621
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: and a Bowl win. Since I don't think you had

622
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: this information on the tip of your tongue, allow me

623
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: to remind you. Arkansas State went two and ten last

624
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: year in Butch Jones's first year, but they were one

625
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: in five in one possession games.

626
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 2: So you could sell.

627
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: Me that maybe they just have that little bit of

628
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 1: turnaround that equates to a monumental turnaround in the one.

629
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 2: Possession loss category. Here's kind of the problem.

630
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: They also lost by eighteen points or more I think

631
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: five times, so it wasn't Nebraska. In other words, they

632
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: weren't just losing a bunch of close games. Now, they

633
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: had the top recruiting class in the Sun Belt, they

634
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: had a pretty good portal haul. I think there's still

635
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: probably a year away from making that Bowl leap.

636
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna call this one an eight. They were

637
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 2: two and ten.

638
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if they get four five wins even this year,

639
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: that's really good progress. Let's give them one more year

640
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: so they're over under wintal right now is five that's

641
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: a good years. Let's try and push it up there.

642
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: And this is not my advice to them, But let's

643
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: try and push it up there, and then next year

644
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: that'd be the year that I expect him to move.

645
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 2: Then there was one more that.

646
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,479
Speaker 1: I just wanted to hit on right quick, because I

647
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: laughed at this, but I got the sense that the

648
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: person who sent it was not laughing, John said arch Manning.

649
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: Here's his bold prediction. Arch Manning is ranked as high

650
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: as he is to distract the public from the behavior

651
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: of the federal government, big food, and the military industrial complex.

652
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: I could give you my response to this, I truly could,

653
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: But why would I do that when I can just

654
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: go over here to my research packet that stats in

655
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: Info aka Producer Jesse provided me, and I'll read you

656
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: what Jesse's notes said.

657
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 2: Ah.

658
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: Yes, our composite rankings, set by getting an average from

659
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: a number of other companies, are all in cahoots. Come on, buddy,

660
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: this is Jesse's notes to me. Come on, buddy. Arch

661
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: is a dog. He has family mentors who have won

662
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: four Super Bowls, and comes from a lineage of great quarterbacks.

663
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 2: He has the requisite.

664
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: Height, mental aptitude, and athleticism to be the number one guy.

665
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: Jesse's Boldness Scale twenty out of ten. So there you

666
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: have it from producer Jesse's fingers threw my lips to you.

667
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: There is no government conspiracy working through the recruiting industry.

668
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 2: With arch Manning, though I would.

669
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: Say if the government were in cahoots with the recruiting industry,

670
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't the Mannings find a way to be involved somehow.

671
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 2: Leave it at that, let's move on. Oh, you know what,

672
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 2: it's time for another big announcement. Here we go. This one.

673
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,479
Speaker 1: I take a special pleasure in because I told you

674
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: guys the other day it was time to announce the

675
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: Late Kick Tour name for this fall, and I offered

676
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,719
Speaker 1: you a challenge if any of you could guess what

677
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: the Late Kick Tour name this fall is going to be.

678
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what it would be. I was going

679
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: to give you something free. I cannot tell you how

680
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: many thousand, yes, four digit guesses we got on this,

681
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: and not a one of you even came close. Everybody

682
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: thought that it was going to be the Enlightenment Tour.

683
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: Everybody thought that I was essentially by naming last year's

684
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: tour the Renaissance Tour, I was just going chronologically through history.

685
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 2: That was never the goal.

686
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: It was never even close to the thought process, so

687
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: are a lot of swinging misses on that front. Truthfully,

688
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: no one even came close. So here's the theme. And

689
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: to remind you what this is. We got so many

690
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: newcomers around here. We are in probably the most blessed

691
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: position in the history of the world. We get to

692
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: talk about college football Monday through Friday, Sunday through Friday

693
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: in the fall, and then on Saturday, I just get

694
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: to go to whatever game I want to and then

695
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: we'll come back here and we'll talk about it.

696
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 2: But we kind of shape it as a tour.

697
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: I'll get in town Friday, see the sites, get to

698
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: go to a lot of places I've never been before.

699
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 2: We do live hits there on Saturday, and it's a

700
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 2: whole experience.

701
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: Last year we called it the Renaissance Tour, and I

702
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: explained the theme to you.

703
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 2: This year's theme.

704
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: Before I give you the name, just let me tell

705
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: you where my head's at and what we're going to

706
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: be talking about a lot. You know what the NFL

707
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: does really good. They're brilliant marketers. They understand how to

708
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: market their game and message and package their game, and

709
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: they get a lot of help from Hollywood. You know,

710
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: one of my favorite football movies has always been any

711
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: given Sunday. I know a lot of you have at

712
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: least seen the Pachuno speech. If you've never just seen

713
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: the whole movie, I would advise you to go watch it.

714
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: Great mechanics in the pocket from Jamie Fox got to say,

715
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: and that's kind of become a moniker for the NFL.

716
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: You know, you got to watch pro football because any

717
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: given Sunday something can happen. And there's always been this

718
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: down the nose look at our game, especially from the

719
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: casual crowd, that that's what the pro game has over you.

720
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: It's any given Sunday in the NFL. And my whole

721
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: stance the whole time and this show, if you watch

722
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: this you're probably right there along with me, is you

723
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: don't get college football if you don't think every Saturday

724
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: over here feels that way to us. It's just that

725
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: what is special in college football maybe a little different

726
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: than what's special in the NFL. You know, believe it

727
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: or not. There are folks who go to a stadium

728
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: where they're teams favored by fifteen or fifteen point underdogs,

729
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,239
Speaker 1: and there are things about that Saturday experience, or there

730
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: are things in your lives room or gathered around that

731
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: radio in years past about that Saturday experience you love

732
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: and you cherish. You only get twelve of them. You're

733
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: only guaranteed twelve of them a year. And so if

734
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: you understand college football, you understand we got that same

735
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: magic you think you've got a monopoly on on Sundays

736
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: every Saturday. That's why we arrived on this year's tour

737
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: name as the Every Given Saturday Tour, and I've got

738
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: it being printed as we speak, and Me and Big

739
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: Game Day, Big Game Dennis Dodd occasionally and a host

740
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: of others will be out on the road this fall.

741
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: But the Every Given Saturday Tour, even as submission after

742
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: submission came in, was never beaten. I had a very

743
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: concentrated focus group that I trusted with this, and there

744
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: were some good submissions. Now so much show that I've

745
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: probably got the next four or five tours named. But

746
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: this fall Every Given Saturday, because that's what our entire

747
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: theme is always about.

748
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 2: On Late Kig.

749
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: We appreciate Saturday. We are regular season fanatics. Anything that

750
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: comes after the regular season comes after the regular season.

751
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: But we don't worry about playoff expansion around here because

752
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: we love the regular season, always have, always will be

753
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: every given Saturday tour coming to a campus near you

754
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:11,760
Speaker 1: this fall.

755
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 2: Recruiting. Did I wind this up? Probably be worse some

756
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 2: one day.

757
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: Recruiting has just been amazing last month and this month,

758
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: and it will continue. Recruiting is on fire right now,

759
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: and so I wanted to hit a few things and

760
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: just bear with me because we even had news breaking

761
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: as we came in here. I mean, I got to

762
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: put this in front of me so I remember to

763
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: talk about Ohio State. I know what butck nuts will

764
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: do to me if I do not talk about Ohio State.

765
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 2: You need to talk about Jaden Brown.

766
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: First off, LSU, there was a lot of apprehension amongst

767
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: some when Brian Kelly was hired in Baton Rouge.

768
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 2: Is he gonna be a fit?

769
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: Remember that?

770
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 2: Talk more on that than just a second.

771
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 1: I gotta give a big hat tip to Andrew Ivans.

772
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: He and Cooper protagting to do a really good show.

773
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:55,919
Speaker 1: I'd make sure I'm following that twenty four to seven

774
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: Sports Recruiting account in twenty four seven Sports Putter account,

775
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 1: they do a really good Joe Ivans was all over

776
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: this thing man a couple of weeks ago, when it

777
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: was thought that Brown was a lean elsewhere, there's Ivans

778
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: over there as calm as he can be. You know,

779
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: I'm kind of feeling LSU, kind of getting some LSU

780
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: smoke around this, and all of a sudden, a couple

781
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: of weeks later, there's mister Brown committing to LSU. Now

782
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: he's a high four star receiver. I got some feedback

783
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: on him. But first, I just want to reiterate that

784
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: whole fit thing about Brian Kelly. Whether or not he

785
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: has an authentic losing accent or not, it doesn't matter.

786
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: If he can recruit, then he can win, and if

787
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: he wins, then he's a fit.

788
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 2: The end.

789
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: That's the last sentence in the book, last chapter. I

790
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: got some intel on mister Brown there. They tend to

791
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,760
Speaker 1: believe he will improve immensely. He's one of those guys

792
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 1: that will disproportionately benefit from being in an SEC strength

793
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: the conditioning program, because as good as he is right now,

794
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,720
Speaker 1: he's a top popper. You know, very good straight line speed.

795
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: Can run the fly route all day on. You can

796
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: this level right now, got speed to play at this level.

797
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 1: Right now, probably a little overwhelmed from the physical aspect,

798
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: but it's not something that he's maxed out at.

799
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:09,919
Speaker 2: In fact, he hasn't even scratched the surf stuff.

800
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: So when they get him down there and they put

801
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 1: him in that street and the conditioning program, he will explode

802
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: there in the short to intermediate route game. When he

803
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: gets that down, that'll be a guy who looks very

804
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: much the same as this conveyor belt of receivers that

805
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: LSU is run off down there for the last several years.

806
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: What about Oregon Dante Moore. This was a huge one

807
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:34,280
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Dante Moore's five star quarterback from Michigan

808
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: from Detroit. Actually we saw him recently at Elite eleven

809
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,919
Speaker 1: commits to Oregon. Turns out Oregon made really good work

810
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: of that trip by mister Moore to the West coast recently.

811
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: I remember, I'm old enough to remember when it felt

812
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: like he was going to Michigan, or if he wasn't

813
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: going to Michigan, was going to Notre Dame.

814
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 2: LSU was briefly in this thing A and M. But

815
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 2: it's Oregon.

816
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: It's Dan Landing, is Kenny Dillingham and those guys out

817
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 1: at Oregon then end up locking him down.

818
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 2: You can't overstate how huge this is for them. Now

819
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 2: his game.

820
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: When you listen to our evaluators, and you listen to

821
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: even some of the NFL guys who have looked at him,

822
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,720
Speaker 1: they talk about two things. Number One, Technically, his game

823
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: is a little advanced relative to even some of the

824
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: other elite quarterbacks out there. It's why I don't think

825
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: our recruiting guys have just resigned themselves to Arch Manning

826
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: being our number one quarterback.

827
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 2: I still think that's.

828
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: Very up in the air.

829
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 2: Dante mor could very well be in the running for that.

830
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: The second thing they say is you look at him physically,

831
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: he's there, he's college ready. And I stood about two

832
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: feet from him and talked to him last week, interviewed

833
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: him actually and can confirm that really physically imposing, really

834
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:41,280
Speaker 1: physically impressive, the polish on the game. It's not something

835
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: where you look at him and say, ooh man, he's raw.

836
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: Two years minimum red shirt him. That's not the situation.

837
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: He'll be able to compete immediately at Oregon. Huge get

838
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: for Dan Lanning. Think about this my big question, I

839
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: think yours.

840
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 2: Two.

841
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: When Dan Lanning a defensive coordinator goes from Georgia to Oregon.

842
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: Is the same when Brent Vennables goes from Clemson to Oklahoma.

843
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: These defensive guys, these lifers on the defensive side of

844
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: the ball, will they be able to attract elite quarterback talent? Well,

845
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:13,439
Speaker 1: short answer, yeah, pretty easily. We got Jackson Arnold Elite

846
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: eleven MVP committed to Oklahoma. And then we got Dante Moore,

847
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: who is in the running to be the top quarterback

848
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 1: in the country overall, committed to Oregon, who defensive minded

849
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 1: coaches having no problem whatsoever recruiting elite quarterback talent. Jaden

850
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: Wayne we talked about him at the beginning of the show.

851
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: Now I just want to talk about the player for

852
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 1: a second, not talk about the off the field on

853
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: web drama. This is Miami's second highest rated commit right now.

854
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: He's a top fifty edge guy. I told you from IMG,

855
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: you know all that about him. I did not know

856
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: this though. IMG plays him receiver, some tight end receiver,

857
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: so much so that I mean there's been some talk

858
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 1: in the industry about listing him at that position. Well,

859
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: the reason I say that is because in the evaluator's mind,

860
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: you look at that and you say he's all that good.

861
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: He's not really even focused on that position exclusively.

862
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 2: He also plays basketball.

863
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,919
Speaker 1: So there is a strong consensus from evaluators that when

864
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: he gets to Miami and he's just focused on that

865
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: position alone, as much as he's already highly rated and

866
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 1: as good as he already looks, as big as he

867
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: already is probably another notch or two that he can

868
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: take it up just by being focused solely on that position.

869
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 1: Miami is going to, I think, at this point, easily

870
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: sign the highest rated class they've had in the twenty

871
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: four to seven era. I saw David Lake on Inside

872
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: the U earlier today. I think he wrote that very thing.

873
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: They are now easily on track under Mario Cristaball in

874
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 1: his first full cycle, to sign their highest rated class.

875
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 1: How there was ever any doubt about that is beyond me.

876
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: We move on Peter Woods to Clemson. This happened a

877
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 1: couple of days ago. This one's really big. There's nothing

878
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 1: hidden about this. I know, when you see a five

879
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,959
Speaker 1: star defensive player from Birmingham not going to Alabama, you think,

880
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,439
Speaker 1: what's the deal? Character grades, none of that. He wanted

881
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: to play at Clemson. More than he wanted to play

882
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: at Alabama. Now, that's one thing that appears on the

883
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: surface to be true right now, Certainly Alabama will not

884
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: back off their recruitment of him.

885
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 2: I have no reason to believe that that's going to change.

886
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying I don't think Alabama's gonna wave

887
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: the white flag just because he committed in July. Having

888
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: said that big pickup for dabos twenty. They have just

889
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 1: owned it. Clemson has so totally and thoroughly owned defensive

890
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: line recruiting. He's versatile was the word that I had

891
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: a lot of guys text to me. The versatility that

892
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: they've gotten before it clems and it's I mean, it's

893
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: when you recruit athletes at that level normally they are versatile.

894
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 1: They like those guys that really they can project all

895
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: along their defensive front. Peter Woods is a guy that

896
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: is the caliber that even at Clemson they can project

897
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 1: him all along their defensive front. So, hey, there has

898
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 1: been no shortage of evidence to shut you up so far.

899
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: If you believe that Clemson was going to fall off

900
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: in recruit since a lot of those coaches left, I mean,

901
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 1: number three in the country right now, in the twenty

902
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: four to seven team recruiting rankings, behind only Notre Dame

903
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: and Ohio State. You notice that team at the top

904
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: just changed in the last hour. I'll talk about that

905
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: in just a second. Hey, you see who's number five there?

906
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: If you're listening on podcasts, you don't. The Tennessee Volunteers

907
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 1: are the number five team currently in the twenty four

908
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 1: to seven sports team recruiting rankings. And that wasn't the

909
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: case when we woke up this morning. That's because they

910
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: added another five star commit and that's him right there,

911
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 1: Chindevian Bradley, just in the last few hours committed.

912
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 2: That's a top fifty player by I.

913
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: Think the consensus in the industry is top fifty man

914
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: they got. I think they got two of the top

915
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: ten edge guys committed now, by the way, So it's

916
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: not just that they're stocking up on a bunch of

917
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 1: receiver and running back talent up there. They're getting some

918
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: really good talent at multiple positions. They got Selden committed

919
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 1: the other day. He's a really high, highly rated athlete too,

920
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: four star athlete, And all of a sudden, there's Josh

921
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 1: Hypel in Tennessee I guess if you're a Tennessee hater,

922
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: you wanted to sell yourself on the idea that last

923
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: year was just the sugar high, sort of a red

924
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: bull effect. If you will, I'll use all the short

925
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: term metaphors I can to suggest that some people think

926
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 1: Tennessee was going to be a flash in the pan.

927
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 1: I can't promise you what they will or won't do

928
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: on the field this year, but man, in recruiting, they're

929
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: doing a lot right now. Number five. So then the

930
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 1: obvious pushback I know it's coming in the comment section

931
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 1: is where's a long way to sign a day? Well

932
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,280
Speaker 1: before Penn hits paper, nothing's official.

933
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 2: I know that you know who.

934
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: That's also true for every team listed in front of him,

935
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:34,959
Speaker 1: every team listed behind them.

936
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 2: So let's let's get the obvious out.

937
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,919
Speaker 1: Of the way and let's just acknowledge this is a really,

938
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 1: really good recruiting class get put together by Josh Hipel

939
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: and Tennessee so far.

940
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:47,280
Speaker 2: Oh when, by the way, Oklahoma, big day for them too. Okay,

941
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 2: this is it.

942
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: This is what Jesse and I practiced on pj attabare Yeah,

943
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: sounds pretty good. He is also a four star edge

944
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: guy from Kansas City that within the last hour and

945
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: a half committed to Oklahoma. That's their fourth top one

946
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: hundred commit. Oklahoma now is at number eleven in the

947
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: team rankings, so they're floating right there outside the top ten.

948
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: They were thirteenth I think before his commitment. So I've

949
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: got thirteen written down on my piece of paper.

950
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 2: They've already moved up. I guess we.

951
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: Updated the rankings, which shows you someone's on the clock

952
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,760
Speaker 1: this weekend. As it turns out, hey, Oklahoma is knocking

953
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 1: it out of the park. And if you'll remember signing day, Oklahoma,

954
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: who had just lost Lincoln Riley like five minutes ago,

955
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: and Brent Venables walks in. They ended up having one

956
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: of the highest rated classes Lincoln Riley or not in

957
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 1: the last several years. So now we get to see

958
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: the follow up and if early indications are any indications

959
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 1: a little redundant, I think it looks good. Okay, good news.

960
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: I remember to talk about Ohio State. The Buckeyes as

961
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: of about an hour ago, have the number one class

962
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: in the country.

963
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:49,479
Speaker 2: They added Jason Moore.

964
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: He is a top ten defensive lineman nationally, number one

965
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,359
Speaker 1: class in the country. You want to know how if

966
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: I can give you a padlock stat so far as

967
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: to how Ryan Day and his staff have gotten that

968
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 1: number one class in the country.

969
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 2: One way is just have heartline on the staff period.

970
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: But number two is have fourteen of your eighteen commitments

971
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 1: be top two four to seven players. That is a

972
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: pretty darn good strategy by the month of July to

973
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: have the number one class not locked up, but have

974
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: the number one class the Ohio State's not going anywhere

975
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: but up. Recruiting is so amazing right now. I know

976
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 1: some of you out there, especially who grew up in

977
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 1: the old school way of doing things, which only changed

978
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:33,240
Speaker 1: like yesterday, you're not used to paying attention to recruiting

979
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 1: in July. If you're not paying attention to recruiting in

980
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,879
Speaker 1: July in the summer nowadays, it is like missing January

981
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: ten years ago. I mean January was when you were

982
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 1: hitting refresh every five minutes. That is recruiting now that period,

983
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: especially since the early signing days of December, A lot

984
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: of kids want to get it out of their way

985
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: before their senior season, and the only time to do

986
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 1: that is right now. So man, that visit weekend at

987
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 1: the end of June is huge recruiting and now com

988
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: season in July, it's huge, So that's big for them.

989
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,320
Speaker 1: We got another big announcement to get to big announcement

990
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: after big announcement after beginning.

991
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 2: It's the kind of show we like. So thank you

992
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 2: for being tuned in.

993
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: Hey, you know what quick, very quick favor I need

994
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: to ask, Jesse tells me. When I did this the

995
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: other night, we had like five hundred likes. If you

996
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: have not liked the video, we got like twenty seven

997
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: hundred of you watching right now, we've got about five

998
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty four likes.

999
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 2: Just hit the thumbs up button. That's it.

1000
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: Subscribe if you haven't already hit the thumb up button. Okay,

1001
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: In our business, this thing we do, this sports media thing,

1002
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: you either got it one of two ways. You either

1003
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: do it how I used to do it, which is

1004
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 1: independent and you own your channel. It's really not worth

1005
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,479
Speaker 1: the whole heck of a lot, or a really big

1006
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: media company comes along and gives you a golden opportunity,

1007
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: which twenty four to seven and CBS gave me a

1008
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 1: little over two years ago.

1009
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 2: But in exchange that.

1010
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 1: Thing right there, that logo I'm pointing out if you're

1011
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 1: listening to on a podcast that's not yours anymore. This

1012
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: stuff that we're doing the more the moment we close

1013
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: it up, it's not ours. We don't own that footage,

1014
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 1: we don't own that audio. Ownership is an illusion when

1015
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: you come into this world.

1016
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 2: Daddy owns it.

1017
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: So the first and last time I'll ever say that

1018
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 1: on the show, because Daddy writes your paycheck for you,

1019
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 1: and so in exchange, they're going to own all this IP,

1020
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: those letters, intellectual property, they own it.

1021
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 2: Which leads me.

1022
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: To our next announcement. We own the show now. It's

1023
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: our show, Late Kicks, our show now. Because we have

1024
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: been able to talk with management, talk with CBS over

1025
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: the past several months, and as of this week, I'm

1026
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 1: not going to bore you with all those details. As

1027
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: of this week, this YouTube channel we own it. The

1028
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: podcast feed we own it, that logo we own it.

1029
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 1: This show, You and I we own it. You'll notice

1030
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 1: that there was a transition a couple of weeks ago

1031
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: on YouTube where this channel became named Late Kick and

1032
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: there is a new twenty four to seven sports channel. Well,

1033
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: that's the reason we own it. It's ours from now

1034
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,359
Speaker 1: until eternity you need to know where to find this thing.

1035
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 1: No matter who my employer is, this is it, this

1036
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 1: is home. Can't promise you we won't build out from it.

1037
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 1: That'll be long down the road. We own it now.

1038
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: Ownership is, like I said, kind of a unicorn. And

1039
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: the fact that we were able to get this is monumental.

1040
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 1: And I keep saying we we even though you just

1041
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:21,280
Speaker 1: see one person sitting here, because there.

1042
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 2: Was no prayer that I could ever do this.

1043
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 1: If you did not scale this show so quickly and

1044
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 1: as violently really as you did, show shouldn't be as

1045
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 1: big as it is right now, especially when we started

1046
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: in a pandemic. But it is because of you, So

1047
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: I always am eternally grateful for that. But I'm also

1048
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 1: especially appreciative of our folks at CBS here because man's

1049
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: that's very atypical, and they were willing to not only

1050
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: listen but kind of get creative with a framework of

1051
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: the way to make this thing operate. And look, the

1052
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: bottom line is they've seen return on investment from you,

1053
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 1: and I think that we stand to see a lot

1054
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: more of it because of you. It's our channel now,

1055
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 1: it's our show now like it was back in Columbus Georgia,

1056
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: So thank you so much for that.

1057
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 2: That means a lot for us.

1058
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 1: But boy, I got something coming in a few minutes

1059
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 1: that means a whole lot more for you than it

1060
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: does any of us.

1061
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:12,320
Speaker 2: So stay tuned.

1062
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: September Swing games next up weeks three and four. We

1063
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 1: hit weeks one and two last week. If you missed

1064
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: that video, check it out on the YouTube channel. I'm

1065
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: going to start in week three. I'm gonna go to

1066
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 1: a game we actually kind of slightly touched on a

1067
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: few minutes ago. Columbia South Carolina Week three. What will

1068
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: Williams Bryce Stadium be like? Spoiler alert, It'll be really loud.

1069
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: Georgia goes to South Carolina Week three. That's the first

1070
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,800
Speaker 1: swing game I want to talk about. It makes a

1071
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 1: difference when you play these conference road games, especially in

1072
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: the SEC.

1073
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,240
Speaker 2: See sometimes if you've.

1074
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: Got a team that's got a few losses under their belt,

1075
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: you get later in the year, or those fans wake

1076
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: up that Saturday morning and they're playing one of the

1077
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: top teams in the country.

1078
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 2: They're still going to show up, They're still going to

1079
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 2: turn the game on.

1080
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 1: But well, if you've got a few losses under your

1081
00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: belt already, your feet hit the ground in the morning, and.

1082
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 2: Here we go.

1083
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: But not in week three. In week three, you got

1084
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:07,919
Speaker 1: the whole world in front of you. In week three,

1085
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 1: even if you're not going to end up a top

1086
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,479
Speaker 1: twenty five team, your fan base probably doesn't know it yet,

1087
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 1: your players in the locker room certainly don't know it yet,

1088
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 1: your coaching staff doesn't know it yet. That's why it's

1089
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 1: important that South Carolina gets Georgia in week three. Where's

1090
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 1: South Carolina going to be though? If you're looking at

1091
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,280
Speaker 1: their schedule like we are right now, they got Georgia

1092
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: State in week one, should be a win.

1093
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 2: But week two they go to Arkansas, which.

1094
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: Of course presents this very interesting fork in the road.

1095
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 1: They could either be coming in sky high and for

1096
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 1: all I know, have the CBS game of the week.

1097
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 2: I think Penn State Auburn's got it that week.

1098
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: But point being, this could be a marquee game all

1099
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 1: of a sudden in Week three, undefeated versus undefeated, or

1100
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 1: South Carolina could lose to Arkansas, at which point they're

1101
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: in the wounded animal spot, wounded animal mode going back

1102
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: home with last year's national champ coming in. As for Georgia.

1103
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: The whole swing part of this is as you find

1104
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 1: out if they're gonna get clipped on the road like

1105
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: Bama did last year, is a three touchdown favorite, they're

1106
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: are they gonna have wiggle room the whole way? You know,

1107
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: are they going to go into that Florida game undefeated?

1108
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: Are they gonna are they going to go into that

1109
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 1: late back to back road game stretch at Mississippi State

1110
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 1: at Kentucky? Are they gonna be undefeated there? Or are

1111
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 1: they already gonna play Florida and Tennessee with a loss, Because.

1112
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 2: Then you have no more wiggle room.

1113
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,360
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of do or die time as it

1114
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 1: as it relates to your playoff hopes. So that's the

1115
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,879
Speaker 1: first swing game. Second swing game also in Week three,

1116
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: and we've talked about this one a lot already.

1117
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,399
Speaker 2: That's Oklahoma at Nebraska. This is not a conference game.

1118
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 1: I know it looks that way because you're used to

1119
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: those logos meaning something in a former life that they

1120
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 1: don't mean anymore.

1121
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 2: But this is a big game. It's a rivalry game. Now.

1122
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: They played this game last year and it was a

1123
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: twenty three to sixteen game. The current line on this

1124
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 1: game is three and a half to four and a

1125
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 1: half depending on where you look. Oklahoma favored, so they're

1126
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 1: going to Lincoln, they figure to be a slight favorite.

1127
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: Here's what I'm going to do for just a second.

1128
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna assume a couple of things. I'm going to

1129
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,240
Speaker 1: assume that Oklahoma will be two to oero in this game.

1130
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 1: To achieve that, they just have to beat UTEP and

1131
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 1: Kent State. I am going to do something far bolder,

1132
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: and I'm going to assume that Nebraska is going to

1133
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: be three and oh Nebraska plays a week zero game.

1134
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 2: I'm going to assume. Boy, I start sweating just saying this.

1135
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 1: I'm going to assume Nebraska is going to beat Northwestern

1136
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:25,760
Speaker 1: North Dakota and Georgia Southern Chills.

1137
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 2: If that happens, this is a huge game. This is

1138
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 2: game the whole country will be watching.

1139
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: And it's not necessarily a game Nebraska has to win,

1140
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:38,399
Speaker 1: but man, it kind of sort of a little bit

1141
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 1: is only because of the unique circumstances around Nebraska. None

1142
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,879
Speaker 1: of those folks are interested in coming close. They own

1143
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:49,320
Speaker 1: a trademark on one possession of losses in Lincoln, Nebraska.

1144
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:50,320
Speaker 2: They don't want to come close.

1145
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: They came close last year in Oklahoma's building, twenty three

1146
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: to sixteen. A lot of folks nationally say, man, Nebraska

1147
00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 1: should have won that game. I don't use that language,

1148
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 1: especially with Nebraska, because if I used should have with them,

1149
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 1: I get they should have been a playoff team because

1150
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: they had eight of nine losses by one possession last year.

1151
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 1: My point is, this is Scott frost opportunity. This is

1152
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: his chance to announce to the world. This year is

1153
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: different because all due respect, you don't prove that play

1154
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: in half a world away in Ireland against Northwestern, nor

1155
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 1: do you against North Dakota, nor do you against Clay

1156
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 1: Elton and Georgia Southern. Case you didn't know, there's a

1157
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 1: preview magazine special for you play Helton the head coach

1158
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 1: in Statesboro. Now, no, you prove it in Week four

1159
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 1: against Oklahoma. Selfishly, I want it to be an undefeated

1160
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: matchup because I want to be there. Week four Swing

1161
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:46,439
Speaker 1: game number one is Arkansas against Texas A and M.

1162
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 1: You know I always regrettably put the neutral site games

1163
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: on here. This is when I was at last year.

1164
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:55,359
Speaker 1: This one grabbed the national attention on Arkansas last year. Yeah,

1165
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 1: they beat Texas in Week two. That was more a

1166
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 1: local thing, like they were on fire about it, but

1167
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 1: everyone nationally just said, oh, there goes Texas doing Texas

1168
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 1: stuff again.

1169
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:06,800
Speaker 2: No, it was Week four.

1170
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 1: It was when they beat A and M twenty to

1171
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:10,240
Speaker 1: ten out there in Arlington.

1172
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 2: That's when you saw that celebration on the field.

1173
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 1: Some of those dudes were crying on the field, which

1174
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 1: again is why every given Saturday is what we believe

1175
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: in college football. And sure enough they're going to have

1176
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 1: a chance to do it again this year.

1177
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 2: Now.

1178
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:26,919
Speaker 1: Arkansas will have already played South Carolina at home by

1179
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 1: the time this game goes down in Week four, and

1180
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 1: they will have already played Cincinnati at home to start

1181
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: the season, a couple of tough games, a couple of

1182
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 1: games that they believe they should win, and they should.

1183
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: They'll be favorite at home. A and M will have

1184
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 1: played app State and Miami both at home before they

1185
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 1: go into this game. It's a swing game for obvious reasons,

1186
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 1: because this is where the SEC West really starts to

1187
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 1: sort itself out behind Alabama. But you don't have to

1188
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: be behind Bama, but you both have to play them eventually.

1189
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 1: You need to find out whose game against Bama is

1190
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: going to mean more.

1191
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 2: See A and M.

1192
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: They beat Bama last year, it didn't even matter because

1193
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:03,320
Speaker 1: they had multiple losses. So do you have one or

1194
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: fewer losses when you face them? Like Arkansas plays Bama

1195
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 1: the week after this game. A and M goes Tobama

1196
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 1: two weeks after that game? Whose game will mean more

1197
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 1: against Alabama? Big swing game there? Also in week four,

1198
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 1: also in the same conference, Florida at Tennessee. We have

1199
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 1: spoken at great length about what this would mean to

1200
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,919
Speaker 1: that rivalry if both teams were undefeated. It's a tough

1201
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: road to get there. Not impossible, though. This is kind

1202
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:34,880
Speaker 1: of the East version of that A and M Arkansas game.

1203
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: If you really think about it. Neither one of these

1204
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 1: teams is favored to win the division, but they're sitting

1205
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: there kind of stacked up behind Georgia like A and

1206
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:44,320
Speaker 1: M and Arcats are stacked up behind Bama. They're solid

1207
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:47,879
Speaker 1: enough teams, they're kind of at this point in the season,

1208
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: they're far enough away from the shore where there's no

1209
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: turning back. It's Week four, so you are who you are.

1210
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 1: Florida will have already played Utah in Kentucky by that point,

1211
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: Tennessee will have already played that pit with Florida. Especially,

1212
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:02,840
Speaker 1: have they beaten Kentucky already? Did they beat Kentucky and Gainesville?

1213
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: If they did, they go in here. You beat Tennessee, man,

1214
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 1: you set yourself up where hu in Georgia. That's what

1215
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:08,799
Speaker 1: it is.

1216
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 2: Tennessee's the same way.

1217
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: If they beat Florida, all of a sudden, they look

1218
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 1: at their schedule and they can't blink because they go

1219
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 1: to LSU the next week, and they got Bama the

1220
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 1: week after that. Florida starts looking ahead of the Georgia game.

1221
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 1: Probably is how their perspective works after this thing Tennessee,

1222
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,439
Speaker 1: they can't afford to look ahead at all. They got

1223
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,280
Speaker 1: the most treacherous road trip of the year the week after,

1224
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 1: and then they got Bama the week after that. But

1225
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 1: the thing about it is you want that Bama game,

1226
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 1: the same way with Arkansas and A and M to

1227
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 1: mean a lot if you beat them. You want it

1228
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 1: to be consequential. You don't want to already have one

1229
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 1: or multiple losses on your schedule. The last one in

1230
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:43,320
Speaker 1: week four is an interesting one that I think is

1231
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: a little off the radar for most people. It's notre

1232
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,320
Speaker 1: Dame at North Carolina. But think about who the Irish

1233
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: play in Week one. They play at Ohio State. They

1234
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 1: are a two touchdown underdog to Ohio State. So if

1235
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 1: we just go by odds making logic and figure that

1236
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 1: Notre Dame catches an l in Week one, man, this

1237
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:03,919
Speaker 1: is the next most dangerous road game they have until

1238
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 1: the end of the year when they go to USC.

1239
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:09,959
Speaker 1: They could go into Chapel Hill knowing we can't drop

1240
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 1: another game and we're out of the playoff picture and

1241
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:14,399
Speaker 1: there's no really conference championship picture to speak of there.

1242
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 1: With North Carolina too, they will play a bunch of

1243
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 1: anonymous teams nationally until this point, so they were an

1244
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:22,479
Speaker 1: underachiever last year.

1245
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:25,439
Speaker 2: They'll be kind of anonymous because they.

1246
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 1: Got Florida A and M at app State at Georgia State.

1247
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 1: That's gotta be typos. Who in the world agreed to that? Jesse,

1248
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 1: Please tell me those are typos? Is it true? Are

1249
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 1: they going to play at Georgia State in what used

1250
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 1: to be Turner Field? By the way, I digress hoops,

1251
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: am I to challenge your schedule making practices?

1252
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 2: But he says it's true. Anyway, they should.

1253
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:53,799
Speaker 1: Win the games regardless they are anonymous, Like, you don't

1254
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:55,800
Speaker 1: care if they beat the Florida A and M, or

1255
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 1: app State or Georgia State. You don't know anything about

1256
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 1: them until they play Notre Dame. Point being if North

1257
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 1: Carolina is ever going to be an ambush mode this year,

1258
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 1: if they're going to pull one out of nowhere, that's it.

1259
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 2: That Notre Dame game in Week four.

1260
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 1: So those are five more swing games for you, just

1261
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 1: in the month of September. I like, I keep looking.

1262
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 1: As I told you last week, I kept looking at

1263
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 1: the whole season. I wanted to do a whole season segment.

1264
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: We've done two of them. We haven't even gotten out

1265
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 1: of September yet, which kind of reminds me of something.

1266
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 1: In fact, let's do the Q and A right quick.

1267
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 1: I got a question from one of you guys, and

1268
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 1: let's tee it up here. Nicholas asked, how can fans

1269
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 1: help protect what makes this sport special? We talk about

1270
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 1: swing games so much. Every given Saturday is the name

1271
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: of the tour this fall. I'll tell you what you

1272
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: can do, Nicholas. The first thing you can do to

1273
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 1: protect college football is define what it means to you.

1274
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 2: We're big about that on this show.

1275
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 1: You know, we got a lens that you and I

1276
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 1: look through the sport with that we grew up with that.

1277
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes the casuals don't have. Sometimes a TV executive doesn't

1278
00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 1: have it. Sometimes your bosses don't have. But we got it,

1279
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:04,439
Speaker 1: define it, and then don't let anyone change it. I sometimes,

1280
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 1: in a former life, used to get worked up when

1281
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 1: I scrolled websites and whatnot, and I looked at folks

1282
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 1: who used to cover pro ball and they only recently

1283
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 1: got a sign to college football, and I can tell

1284
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 1: they didn't love it, and I could it just bled

1285
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 1: through the screen. I used to get worked up about that.

1286
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 1: I'm not letting them dictate what matters to me, nor

1287
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 1: should you. Don't let anyone else dictate what matters to you.

1288
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 1: And especially when we get into September and then early October,

1289
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 1: where no one has any business talking about the playoff,

1290
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: and you're turning on certain networks and every other TV

1291
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 1: timeout and every other commercial break and every other postgame

1292
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: show you got segments or talking points about the playoff.

1293
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: How does this impact the playoff? Just mute it, just

1294
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 1: don't pay attention to it. Don't let someone convince you

1295
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 1: that the only games that matter are the ones with

1296
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 1: playoff implications attached to them. That erase is the fun

1297
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 1: of ninety five percent of the sport. And so to

1298
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 1: us on this show, we don't even talk about the

1299
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 1: playoff until November.

1300
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 2: That's really when we start talking about it.

1301
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 1: The next thing I would say is remember to properly

1302
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 1: honor Saturday, like properly appreciate the regular season. That's what

1303
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 1: you're guaranteed, first off. And secondly, the stuff that falls

1304
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 1: outside of the purview of the championship races and the

1305
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 1: playoff races in a lot.

1306
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 2: Of cases is what makes the sport so great.

1307
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,800
Speaker 1: That's why once upon a time, talking to my college

1308
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 1: audience for the moment, Once upon a time, whether you

1309
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 1: believe it or not, you could watch a Wake Forest,

1310
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech game in early November and both teams already

1311
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 1: have multiple losses, and yet if you just watch that game,

1312
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:46,600
Speaker 1: those groups of fans are worked up about it and

1313
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:49,959
Speaker 1: they're excited because the preview magazine said they're a five

1314
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 1: win team this year, but maybe one of them's on

1315
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 1: track to win not just six, but maybe seven or

1316
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 1: eight games. Not only are we going to potentially get

1317
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 1: a bowl game. We can get a Florida bowl game.

1318
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 1: All this converse used to matter because there was a

1319
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 1: proper understanding of how many tiers of measurement there were

1320
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 1: in this sport. Now there's two.

1321
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 2: You're a playoff team, or you're terrible. You're a playoff team,

1322
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 2: or you're irrelevant.

1323
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 1: You're a playoff team, or you're playing meaningless games in November.

1324
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 2: Honor Saturdays and.

1325
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 1: Honor the regular season. And marry that with the first part,

1326
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 1: which is define what matters to you, and then don't

1327
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:26,920
Speaker 1: let any casuals convince you otherwise. Thirdly, on a related note,

1328
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 1: just ignore the casuals entirely. One of the main reasons

1329
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 1: we created this show is because I was a viewer.

1330
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 1: I was a consumer, I was a civilian. I was

1331
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: a college football fan civilian, and I looked around and

1332
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 1: I thought the space sucked. I didn't think there was

1333
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: anyone out there who was speaking to me, and I

1334
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 1: knew I wasn't alone. I worked in the fabric warehouse

1335
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 1: down in Columbus. All we talked about was college football.

1336
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 1: What we were saying around that fabric table sounded nothing

1337
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 1: like what was on talk radio or what was on TV.

1338
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 1: At the time I go to lunch at Clearview Barbecue, Dona, Columbus, Georgia,

1339
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 1: Monday through Friday. I'd eat with my buddy is our

1340
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 1: conversation revolved around college football. It sounded nothing like anything

1341
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 1: that was on talk radio. It sounded nothing like anything

1342
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 1: that was on TV. So then I think I have

1343
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of ability in this arena. I say, hey, man, streaming,

1344
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:18,400
Speaker 1: the barriers have been broken down. We can create our

1345
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 1: own show. Now, why don't I do something about it?

1346
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 1: And we built Late Kick and you took it from there.

1347
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 1: That's kind of the way we build this thing. A

1348
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 1: lot of casuals out there, and we kind of fancy

1349
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:34,640
Speaker 1: ourselves as the exclusive distributor of casual spray. It could

1350
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 1: be something that we sell one day. You know, just

1351
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 1: go buy an aerosol, can put our own label on it,

1352
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:43,920
Speaker 1: empty it out first in an environmentally sound way. Of course,

1353
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 1: you don't want to all sorts of three letter regulators

1354
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 1: on our tail.

1355
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 2: But just ignore the casuals. And it's the simple advice.

1356
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: Just ignore casuals in football and in life. And the

1357
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: fourth thing is you got to protect your traditions because

1358
01:01:57,440 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 1: they'll always.

1359
01:01:58,200 --> 01:01:58,919
Speaker 2: Come for them.

1360
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 1: They'll tell you they're stupid or your rivals don't deserve

1361
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:05,160
Speaker 1: to be listen to anyway. But other folks will tell

1362
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 1: you your traditions, like at Notre Dame right now, the

1363
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 1: way you value independence, it doesn't work.

1364
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 2: It's Hulk Hogan. Don't work for me, brother, that doesn't work.

1365
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 1: We want you in a conference because we want everything

1366
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: to be congruent and harmonious and homogenizes, just like the

1367
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 1: Progame is on Sundays. And like I said the other night,

1368
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 1: I grew up not like in Notre Dame. But boy,

1369
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 1: I've come to respect the way they do things now

1370
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:32,960
Speaker 1: because I wish more people would adhere strongly to their

1371
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 1: values and tradition.

1372
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 2: Even if everyone else hates it. It's not for everyone.

1373
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 2: Notre Dame's not for everyone, Miami's not for everyone. Texas

1374
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 2: is not for everyone.

1375
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 1: Defend your traditions, especially against people who are just drive bys.

1376
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:50,000
Speaker 1: They have no attachment to your university, they have no

1377
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: attachment to your program. They just want to see the

1378
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:56,000
Speaker 1: world burn And after they burn your special thing down,

1379
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 1: they'll just move on like locusts. Once they've devoured whatever

1380
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 1: specialty you they'll just go to the next field. And

1381
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 1: devour their crop, so don't pay attention to them.

1382
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 2: It's my simple advice.

1383
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 1: You got to define what it means to you. You've

1384
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 1: got to honor Saturday and the regular season. You got

1385
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 1: to avoid casuals, and you got to protect your traditions.

1386
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 1: That is how you keep the sport special. I hope

1387
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 1: everyone heard that. The last announcement that I would like

1388
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 1: to give you tonight is one, Oh boy, look at

1389
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 1: that chat. Thank you for being tuned in live. So

1390
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,080
Speaker 1: about ten minutes ago, I told you it's our show.

1391
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 2: We own it. Now. Why is that so important? Well,

1392
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:35,440
Speaker 2: I kind of explained it to you.

1393
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 1: But there is something that from the day I got

1394
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:43,680
Speaker 1: here to present day, you've asked me about, not only

1395
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: every week, not only every day, every hour, multiple times

1396
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 1: per hour. If I could show you my email inbox

1397
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:53,400
Speaker 1: and my DMS, there's one thing that you asked me

1398
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 1: about more than any other thing related to this show.

1399
01:03:56,800 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 1: It's five letters merch which is short for merchandise. And

1400
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:05,160
Speaker 1: for two years I have had to kick the can

1401
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 1: down the road and I've had to give you nonsense

1402
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 1: responses because I had no answer for you. Would I

1403
