1
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: Man, Welcome to the Laking is live. It is Thursday night,

2
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: August eleventh, Dear over Lord, twenty twenty two. The limit

3
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: on how jam packed the show can be in August

4
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: is anyone? No, no, well, the limit does not exist.

5
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: We are jam packed. I atop a tranquil and beautiful

6
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: downtown Nashville, Tennessee. We've got intel and whispers from fall

7
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: camps from coast to literal coast. Tonight, we're going all

8
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: the way from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Everything you

9
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: need to know to have a complete idea and picture

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: of what's going on behind the scenes in college football

11
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: in August. College football is going to have some chaos

12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: teams this fall. You know it and I know it.

13
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: What we don't know, but we will try and figure

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: out tonight is boost will it be? I could be

15
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 1: ready to get on a train that I got on

16
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: last year and ended up crashing into oblivion. But you

17
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: know what, who am I if not a guy willing

18
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: to make the same mistake multiple times. We've got recruiting

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: scoop tonight, the very latest on a number of teams.

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm talking Oklahoma recruiting tonight. I've been peer pressured and

21
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: bullied online enough. I'm talking Oklahoma tonight, and what's the

22
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: best conference to watch this year? If you just took

23
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: everything about the playoff out of the picture and we

24
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: were talking pure, unadult traded entertainment, what's the best conference

25
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: to watch this year? I know my answer. I'm going

26
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 1: to give you a few minutes to marinate on your answer.

27
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Columbus, Ohio, and probably Columbus Georgia. Odessa,

28
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: Texas is tuned in. Alpharetta, Georgia is tuned in walland

29
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: Tennessee is tuned in. I have one fair warning for

30
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: all of you, and this is the last I'm gonna

31
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: mention it, because, as it turns out, we do not

32
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: have to mention the Late Kickstore on air for it

33
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: to do a ton of traffic, and truthfully, we can't

34
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: handle a ton of traffic right now. Hatstatematerial dot com

35
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: for those unfamiliar, that is where the Late Kickstore is.

36
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: There are some items on the shelf there. Some of

37
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: them have been very hot movers that will no longer

38
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: be on the shelf by Monday. That's all I'm gonna say.

39
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: If you want it, I can't guarantee it's going to

40
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: be there after this weekend, so head on over there.

41
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: Makes a great holiday gift. Go ahead and do your

42
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: shopping for us. A holiday is Opening Day. I'm not

43
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: talking about Christmas. That's down the road a little ways.

44
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: A perfect opening day gift. We got a tailgate shirt

45
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: that just went up last night that's already moved a

46
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: couple one hundred units. So yeah, Paystatemterial dot com is open.

47
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: I'm not here to hawk the store tonight. I'm here

48
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: to talk about fall camp. So let's dive right into

49
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: this thing, the latest whispers and intel out of fall camp.

50
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: We need to start at Old Miss. I got a

51
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: call the other day from a very trusted source in

52
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: the SEC. Here's what's happening right now. Obviously, fall camps

53
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: are open. Obviously there's position battles all over the place

54
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: and coaches trying to acclimate. But here's what else is happening.

55
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: There are NFL scouts just trapesing the country, Big ten SEC,

56
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: all the major conferences. So if you go to these practices,

57
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: you see some unfamiliar faces with familiar logos on their

58
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: hat on the sideline. They are NFL scouts. Well, the

59
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: good news is they start to talk a little bit,

60
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: and I have it on very good authority that one

61
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: of them, who has been through Oxford, Mississippi, recently backed

62
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: up and validated everything we were hearing and saying about

63
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: Zach Evans from the spring. Quote Zach Evans is the

64
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 1: best player on that team, unquote, and then they went

65
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: on to just talk about how he could very well

66
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: tear it up this fault. Here's the interesting aspect. Zach

67
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: Evans is a seven yard per carrey guy. He's been

68
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: that way his entire career twenty twenty seven point seven

69
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: yards per carrey twenty twenty one. Right at seven yards

70
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: per carry. I have no reason to think that production

71
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: is going to significantly drop off or those averages are

72
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: going to significantly drop off in any way this year.

73
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: And if you were not familiar with Zach Evans, he's

74
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: a former five star tailback. He committed to TCU, played

75
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: a couple of years there. He's at Ole Miss. Now

76
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: think about Ole Miss. What's your opinion of old Miss

77
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: ole Miss? Trying to replace Matt Carrall at quarterback obviously,

78
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: and they've got Jackson Darth there, and they've got Luke Altmeyer.

79
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: Not necessarily in that order. And I've told you that

80
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: I actually lean under on the wing total a little bit.

81
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: If I had to pick an under in the West,

82
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: I said it would be the ole Miss at under

83
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: seven and a half because of uncertainty at quarterback and

84
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: me not knowing what level of play they're going to

85
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: get there. But here's what worries me about my own prediction.

86
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: Zach Evans worries me about my own prediction. I think

87
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: he could end up statistically being the best running back

88
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: in the SEC this year. And that's a loaded statement

89
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: because it's a loaded year in the SEC at the

90
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: tailback position. Jamiir Gibbs rightfully so is going to come

91
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: to Alabama. He's going to get a ton of push,

92
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: I am telling you, especially because of the dynamic and

93
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: maybe how much more they'll have to lean on the

94
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: ground game at ole Miss this year. Zach Evans, if

95
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: you just promise me help, Look at my fists clinched

96
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,799
Speaker 1: for Zack Evans. If you promise me health and nothing else,

97
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: He's going to be a dynamite player who's going to

98
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: put up really big numbers and a lot of what

99
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: we were hearing from spring is starting to get backed

100
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: up from NFL scouts that have come through Oxford. They

101
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: were unequivocal in their praise of Zach Evans. They said

102
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: he looks like a monster. He's the best player on

103
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: that team. And they're talking about futuristic, you know, NFL

104
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: type observations. Futuristic meaning down the road, not like they

105
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: have a different lens to look through than you and

106
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: I do. Next up, as we look at be roll

107
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: of Lane Kiff, and I just always like to pause

108
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: so we can roll through the be roll of Lane Kiffin.

109
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: Next up, I want to go to Dallas Fort Worth, Actually,

110
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: excuse me, want to go to Fort Worth. TCU's got

111
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: a little quarterback situation. We don't believe in the word

112
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: controversy when it comes to quarterbacks. The only quarterback controversy

113
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: is if your quarterback's getting arrested. If there are just

114
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: multiple guys battling for a job, there's another word for that.

115
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: And Webster's calls it. Where'd I put it? Oh, competition.

116
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: Webster's calls it competition, And I, in addition to Webster's,

117
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,559
Speaker 1: don't think that's a bad thing. Well, at TCU, they've

118
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: got one forming right now. Sunny Dyke's is the new

119
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: head coach there by the way, Gary Patterson off to Austin, Texas.

120
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: How weird would that have sounded a few years ago,

121
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: But looking at a situation here that's probably evolving away

122
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: from what your favorite preview magazine may have led you

123
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: to believe your favorite preview magazine. And I'm going on

124
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: feel now because I haven't looked at all of them

125
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: full disclosure with TCU, I think they may say that

126
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: Max Duggan is going to be the starter at quarterback,

127
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: and recently, as recently as this week, actually, we've seen

128
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: a little shift so far. The way Sunny Dike's has

129
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: handled the rotation there is he's let one guy run

130
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: with the ones one day, another guy runs with the

131
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: ones the next day, and it's kind of been ping

132
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: pongin back and forth until yesterday when Chandler Morris, the

133
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: Oklahoma transfer, took reps with the Ones for a second

134
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: day in a row. Gasp all around the room, and

135
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: it starts to feel a little bit like what I

136
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,239
Speaker 1: know some members of the TCU fan base have wanted

137
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: to happen may be happening. Chandler Morris may be getting

138
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: his shot. I mean, he's getting a shot. He may

139
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: be taking advantage of his shot. And keep in mind

140
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: this is not new. He didn't just trans Chandler Morris

141
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: has played meaningful football for TCU already. And by meaningful,

142
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: I mean remember last year. Remember when Oklahoma went into

143
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: Waco and they got upset by Baylor and we were there,

144
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: We were on the field for that one and the

145
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: field gets stormed. And remember how I told you Dave

146
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: Randa was kind of tranquil during the post game and

147
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: he was upset because they played at such a higher

148
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: level than they had the week before. What was the

149
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: week before? Here's what the week before was. It was

150
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: then going to TCU and losing to TCU and losing

151
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: to Chandler Morris and TCU because he hung four hundred

152
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: and sixty one yards on him. Yeah, so he's played

153
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: it some meaning for football. Keep an eye on this.

154
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about the Big twelve later in

155
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: a different context. Keep an eye on the TCU quarterback battle,

156
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback competition, no controversy. Let's talk about Arkansas for

157
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: a change on this show. Well, it's been it's been

158
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: minutes and minutes since we talked about Arkansas. You know,

159
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: the transfer portal was very kind Arkansas, and it wasn't

160
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: by happenstance. They worked it that way. I was reading

161
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: some of Trey Biddy's work. I try not to miss

162
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: a word of what Trey writes over on Hoggs twenty

163
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: four to seven Hog Sports Excuse me, And he was

164
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: talking about how the way Arkansas's worked the portal and

165
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: then the way these guys are showing out in practice

166
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: is starting to illustrate a change in the way the

167
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: landscape of the sport works. And he's right about this.

168
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: It's a really good way to put it. You're used

169
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: to thinking about programs like Alabama just they don't rebuild,

170
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: they reload. You've heard that a million times. And you're

171
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: used to thinking that about Ohio State, and like when

172
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: LSU's very good, you'll think that about LSU. A and

173
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: m will start saying that about themselves. But history has

174
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: taught you second tier programs like Arkansas or like Michigan

175
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: State or the like, they don't get to do that right.

176
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: They have to recruit, recruit, recruit from a couple of

177
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: years out, and then they aim for a year and

178
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 1: then they hope boom, everything pops that year. But then

179
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: they've got to rebuild a little bit and build their

180
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: way back up to another couple of years down the road.

181
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: And it's what you would call a developmental program at

182
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: its best. That's what Arkansas in the past would hope

183
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: to be. Well, as Trey Btty wrote, and as we

184
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: are currently observing at Arkansas throughout fall camp, that may

185
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: be changing a little bit because of the portal and

186
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: because of how attractive Arkansas as a program is and

187
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: how it's become a destination, which is something I've told

188
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: you a million times over what the casuals would call

189
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: the off season. Well, here's where Rubber meets Rode. Trey

190
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: Bittty's talking about having been at Arkansas for nineteen years

191
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: and having been around practice. I would encourage you to

192
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: go read some of his work over there today and yesterday,

193
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: because he said, I've been out here in nineteen years.

194
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: I've never seen a more well put together Arkansas football team.

195
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: I've never seen one with so few relative glaring weaknesses.

196
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: It's not a perfect team. Bama's not a perfect team.

197
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: Nobody's a perfect team. But he's talking about how guys

198
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: like Jaden hazel Wood at wide receiver or guys like

199
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: Drew Sanders at lineback. I run in with the ones today,

200
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: by the way, for the first time. Guys like Latavious Brinny,

201
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: who I think will eventually take over at a one

202
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: safety spot. Dwight mclotham probably a starting corner that they

203
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: got from LSU. These are not baptism by fire, true

204
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: freshmen thrown to the wolve of type situations. These are

205
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: guys who played winning football and meaningful football elsewhere in

206
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: the SEC and beyond, and now they're razorbacks. And what

207
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: practice is validating is what that coaching staff already suspected.

208
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: That is, these are equal to or better than the

209
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 1: options we already had here, or in some cases, especially

210
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: on the defensive line, you're flipping through your preview magazine

211
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: and all those preview magazines are just talking about what

212
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: Arkansas lost, and Barry otoms up there as the defensive

213
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: coordinator saying, well, it's true that we have new names here,

214
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: we're not really sacrificing much in terms of potential production.

215
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: And I think when you watch Arkansas this year, you'll

216
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: see that that I mean, they're gonna win every game,

217
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: but you will not see this massive drop off. You

218
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: may even see a net increase in overall productivity in

219
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: the power rating world, how you would look at Arkansas.

220
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: So I mean, it's not a surprise that those guys

221
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: are good. It's just a validation of what we thought

222
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 1: about them in spring. Let's talk about Miami hadn't gotten

223
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: a lot out of Coral Gables yet that changed today.

224
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: Miami had a practice that was open, I think for

225
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: the most part, to the media, and so obviously talk

226
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: to a few people about Miami practice. Here's two pieces

227
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: of good news about the Kin's program right now. The

228
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,239
Speaker 1: first and the one I want to really emphasize is defensively.

229
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: I don't think they're surprised that they have some good players.

230
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: I think they're pleasantly surprised, maybe at how far along

231
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: they are. You know, I think probably they suspected it

232
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: would take a little bit longer for elements of their

233
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: defensive front to coalesce. I think that maybe they're probably

234
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: a little bit ahead of the curve relative to where

235
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: they thought they'd being Rundee, But that's not really where

236
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to emphasize things. What I want to talk

237
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: about is how good they could potentially be on third down,

238
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: and I think that coaching staff's really realizing this right now,

239
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: and it gives two elements that I always look for

240
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: with a new coaching staff. You come in, you largely

241
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: inherit what you inherit. That's what Mario Christaball and his

242
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: staff have done. They've got what they've got, and you

243
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: focus on recruiting to rectify any holes you may see

244
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: for the future. But as for this year, you got

245
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: what you got. Well. That varies greatly case by case,

246
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: and in the Miami case, here's what we could have.

247
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,359
Speaker 1: We could have one of, if not the best quarterbacks

248
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: in the conference in Tyler van Dyk, probably a deeper

249
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: stable of receivers given his ability to get the ball

250
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: to them than is expected nationally, and the ability to

251
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: cause havoc on third downs. Defensively, their pass rush package

252
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: is going to be really, really good. Now, whether they

253
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: can earn the right to rush the passer totally different story.

254
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: I don't think run defense is going to be a

255
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: massive weakness for them, but that's a remains to be seen.

256
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: I will grant you that that's fair to say. But

257
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: if their run defense is be or better, they possess

258
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: the ability to I think get after the quarterback on

259
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: third down here and cause havoc plays, cause turnover plays,

260
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: cause negative plays. And they possess the ability to quick

261
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: strike score offensively, especially at the quarterback position. Given what

262
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: they have to win more games than you think they're

263
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: gonna win. I guess is the dumbest and best way

264
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: to say it. Miami could be better because of those

265
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: two things. And that's something that that staff inherited. That

266
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: is a huge blessing for any new coaching staff. So

267
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: I think they like where they're at right now. Most

268
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,599
Speaker 1: people say that through one week of camp. Let's just

269
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: keep an eye on it. Lastly, I wanted to go

270
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: to Oregon. They've had a bunch of injuries along the

271
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: offensive line. Good news is, at least according to reports,

272
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: none of them appear to be season ending. The bad

273
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: news is it's a new staff. Therefore it's a new offense.

274
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: You got a new quarterback there. You're trying to install

275
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff. And I don't think I need

276
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: to tell anyone watching this show. Missing most of your

277
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 1: starting offensive line is not a recipe for a lot

278
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: of success early on when you're trying to build chemistry,

279
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: you're trying to build rhythm. You're trying to build everything

280
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: that you need to have a competent offense. Dan Lanning

281
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: apparently will not tell you who the starting quarterback is

282
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: going to be there, so I'll spoil it for you.

283
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: Bo Nix is going to start at quarterback for Oregon.

284
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: Apologies to the staff out there, this is not much

285
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: of a mystery. Having said that, they open with a bang.

286
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: They play Georgia and they are about a seventeen or

287
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: a seventeen and a half point dog, And if we,

288
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: for the minute, are to assume they lose that game,

289
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: just for arguments purposes, then they're going to fall off

290
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: the national radar for probably a week. But then they've

291
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: got Brigham Young at home. My point there is, this

292
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: is not a Michigan schedule where you get four relative

293
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: layups and you can say to yourself, we don't have

294
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: to have everything figured out by week one. We can

295
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: get three or four weeks into the season before it

296
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: really really gets tough. That's not Oregon. It's tough right

297
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: off the bat for Oregon. So this offensive line situation

298
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: bears watching. They got a good team. They got this

299
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: is a team that is capable of winning the Pac twelve,

300
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: but they can't win the Pac twelve if we don't

301
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: get this injury situation rectified. It's not that they're doing

302
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: anything wrong, it's just injuries happen. This is why, even

303
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: this time of year, there's not a whole lot of

304
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: skill in forecasting this stuff because you don't know who

305
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: is and isn't going to be available. That's the conclusion

306
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: of Camp Whispers and Intel. That segment will just get fatter,

307
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: fatter and fatter as the next couple of weeks go on.

308
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: I put out a challenge to you guys a couple

309
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, paper pop. That's how serious it was.

310
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: I put out a challenge to our viewers down in

311
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: Panama City and really the Florida Panhandle. Our friends at

312
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors hit me up, and here's how

313
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: good they are. They they write the check to be

314
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: our primary sponsor, our presenting sponsor. But then they say,

315
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: all right, give us your best idea. How do you

316
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: want to go about this? And they said, we got

317
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: a store opening in Panama City. What do you think

318
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: you can do? And so I told you, guys, what

319
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: I want you to do. If you're in the area

320
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: or if you just got some free time and want

321
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: to drive down there from outside the area, Prove to

322
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: me you went to that grand opening and I'm going

323
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: to send you some free stuff. Well, several of you did. Personally,

324
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: I questioned how successful we were going to be on

325
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: that several of you did. I don't know how many

326
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: couple dozen of you reached out. Think about that. Now

327
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: for a show just targeting one little city, that's a

328
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: lot of people anyway. So we're in the process of

329
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: getting free stuff to the aforementioned people on a couple

330
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: of shows ago that I mentioned. But that's not the

331
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: best news. The best news is our close personal friend

332
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: will call him Alex because that's his name from Academy,

333
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: hit me up and said, Hey, guess what little tidbit

334
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: to pass along to your crowd there. This was the

335
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: most successful grand opening of any store we have ever had.

336
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: So is that because of us? I'm just going to say, yes,

337
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: it is. We did a really good job there, so

338
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: much show that I think we'll probably be doing exercises

339
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: like that with Academy in the future. I understand, And

340
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: never to take the loyalty of our audience for granted.

341
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: Trust me, I get it. I get it more so

342
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: than anyone else. I think Academy has learned about the

343
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: loyalty of our audience very much a family here at

344
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,479
Speaker 1: Peyton State. So when I ask you to do some

345
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 1: things like, for instance, patronize our one presenting sponsor, Academy

346
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: Sports and Outdoors, I don't have to take five minutes

347
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: to do it. I know you're going to do it.

348
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: They are your one stop shop for all your outdoor

349
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 1: sporting goods, supplies and needs and really stuff that extends

350
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: well beyond just sporting goods. And they're best friends with us,

351
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: and that's really all you need because it they're friends

352
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: with us, they're friends with you cause the US equals

353
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: me and you. So thank you so much for that.

354
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: A reminder for those of you watching Jesse. Jesse is

355
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: irate in my ear right now. Irate. He's even typing

356
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: stuff on the teleprompter which we don't use. And here's

357
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: why is irate because we have less than three hundred

358
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: likes on the video right now. He takes this stuff personal.

359
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: I don't. I go with the flow, but Jesse, you

360
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: know what, why not prey second story for you? Jesse

361
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: got a cat the other day his name's Gary, Psychotic.

362
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: Jesse got a cat named Gary, and Jesse has been

363
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: carrying himself around the office exactly how a guy who

364
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: just got a cat named Gary would carry himself around

365
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: the office. So he's on edge, he's on tilt a

366
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: little bit. Please like the video, if not for me,

367
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: like the video for him, because otherwise you don't have

368
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: to deal with him half you don't even think he exists.

369
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: He is very real, and he's very tough to deal

370
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: with when he's ornery. That is exactly how the word

371
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: is pronounced ornery. Let's talk about chaos this year in

372
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: college football, shall we. Tom Fournelli over on cbssports dot

373
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: com wrote an article about chaos teams, and I looked

374
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: at it and I liked it, and I said, I

375
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: think we'll steal that right here in broad daylight, in

376
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: front of God and everyone. We're gonna steal his idea.

377
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 1: I've got five chaos teams of my own, and I

378
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: don't think there's much overlap with Fournelly, So let's talk

379
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: about it. The first one is Iowa State. This is

380
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: where I'm conflicted. Do you remember, if you've been around

381
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: for a little while, the tragedy that befell me and

382
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: Iowa State US. We suffered immensely last year because I

383
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: bought in, I dove in. I drank the kool aid,

384
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: that red and yellow Hulk Hogan flavored kool aid. I

385
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: drank it. We were in Ames Week two last year.

386
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: The Renaissance Tour went on the road and we saw

387
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 1: Iowa State. I think they just turned it over again.

388
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: They turned it over and turned it over again and

389
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: again and again. They lost the game to Iowa. So anyway,

390
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: I was ridiculed and mocked unmercifully and still after this day.

391
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: And yet when I was looking over Iowa State's prospects

392
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: for this year, a lot of folks are telling you, well,

393
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: they can't do anything this year because they lost Rock Party. Well,

394
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 1: they can't do anything this year because they lost Breez Hall. Well,

395
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: they can't do anything this year because they lost X

396
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 1: percentage of their production from last year. And then I'm

397
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: looking around saying, didn't this team go seven and six

398
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: last year? I'm not going to shed much of a

399
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: tear if that kind of top soil is eroding. Now.

400
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: This is not a team and not a program that

401
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: stacked five star upon five star upon five star. But

402
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: what I do know is internally there is a lot

403
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: of excitement about Hunter Deckers at quarterback up there. They

404
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: won't say it publicly, but I'll say it as sort

405
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: of the unofficial spokesperson for Iowa State. They think he's

406
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: gonna end up being better than brock Purty offensively. They

407
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: think they'll end up being net positive this year relative

408
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 1: to what they were last year. And need I remind you, folks,

409
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: probably because you weren't paying attention to their tackle rotation.

410
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: They had to kick guards out to tackle last year.

411
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: They had some pretty key injuries there. So am I

412
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: making excuses. Absolutely. I don't want to just say I

413
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: was wrong last year, and so I'm not predicting them

414
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: to go to the playoff. What I'm asking you to do,

415
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 1: humbly but forcefully, is look at the schedule. Yes, they

416
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: paid Baylor early so they're less banged up. They got

417
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: them at home. They go to Texas October fifteenth, They

418
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: played the entire Big Twelve. That's how they roll in

419
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve. My point is this is the team.

420
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: If there's any this year that fell short of expectation

421
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: last year, that could end up just being a year

422
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: late to the party. I don't think there's this steep,

423
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: massive drop off like some other people think there will be.

424
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: I told you earlier today on Twitter, I'm going to

425
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: irrationally buy into them unless you taught me out of it,

426
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: and a bunch of you tried to talk me out

427
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 1: of it, including some close personal friends in the state

428
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: of Iowa. So I'm not fully diving in. I didn't

429
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: dive in. I tooth picked in. But I'm in with

430
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: Iowa State again this year. There's no doubt about it.

431
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: I'm ready to be hurt again. Next up, Mississippi State.

432
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: I've got so much on Mississippi State. I have a

433
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: post it above and beyond the notes in front of me,

434
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: which are minimal. NFL scouts told you about them earlier.

435
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: They've been trapsing through the Magnolia State. NFL scouts, the

436
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: same ones that talked about Zach Evans, said this is

437
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: the sneakiest, most loaded roster in America. Mississippi State. I

438
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: try and tell you, guys, the ones who make fun

439
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: of folks who tout these sac schedules all the time,

440
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: and you'll look at a team like Mississippi State. Jesse

441
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: what's their over underwin total? Do you have that in there?

442
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: I mean it's not nine or ten, like, it's not

443
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: up there in the Georgia Bama territory. They're over under

444
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: win total six and a half. Okay, this is where

445
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: we have to hammer home the reminder that in college football,

446
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: all wins and losses are not created equal. A win

447
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 1: is not just a win. You're not always what your

448
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: record says you are. Those are some of the big

449
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: lies they try and tell you about our sport. You

450
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: are very much a prisoner or beneficiary of what your

451
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: strength of schedule is. Well, this year, I mean Mississippi State,

452
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: let me see their schedule right quick. There is a

453
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: stretch in October that is illegal in like twenty seven states.

454
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: They play Texas, A and M, they play Arkansas, they

455
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: go to Kentucky, which is the number two team in

456
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: the SEC East in preseason nods, and then they go

457
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: to Alabama, and then if that's not enough, they're gonna

458
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: play Auburn the next game. Then they played Georgia the

459
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: next game. It just never ends. So here's why they're

460
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: a chaos team. You look at that schedule and you

461
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: would be right in saying like producer Jesse said earlier,

462
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: that's about the toughest four game stretch I've seen for

463
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: anyone in America this year. You're not wrong, kids, You're

464
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: not wrong. Here's why I wanted to let you know.

465
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: Mississippi State is still going to do something terrible to

466
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: someone this year. The Texas A and M game. Do

467
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: me a favor and keep their schedule up. The Texas

468
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: A and M game, Yeah, they play A and M.

469
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 1: A and M the week before plays against Arkansas in Dallas.

470
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: A and M. The week after, Mississippi State has that

471
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: game at Alabama. So that trip to Starkville sandwiched in

472
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 1: between those two games not easy. Mississippi State plays Arkansas

473
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: there on October eighth. Arkansas is coming off back to

474
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: back games versus A and M and at home against Alabama.

475
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: Those are back to back brutal, body blow games. Not

476
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: to mention, that's a super Bowl atmosphere Arkansas will have

477
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: for Alabama. Then they take a trip to Startonville the

478
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: next week. We call that a double do down spot

479
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: out in the desert. Next up, Mississippi State, they have

480
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: to play Alabama. It's a tough spot. Alabama will be

481
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: coming off a three game stretch of at Arkansas home

482
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: versus A and M at Tennessee, and then they get

483
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: Mississippi State. That's the toughest three game stretch on Bama

484
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: schedule this season. You could not pick a better spot

485
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: to play Bama. If you have to play Bama, it's

486
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: not over yet. Mississippi State plays Auburn. Mississippi State's off

487
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: of by Auburn will be coming off a game against Arkansas,

488
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: and keep in mind, who knows what status that program's

489
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: in at Auburn at that point. And here's the one

490
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: that a lot of folks who follow Mississippi State closely

491
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: are circling as the big upset in the SEC this year.

492
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 1: They played Georgia really late in the year. They play

493
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: them November twelfth. Georgia will be coming off a game

494
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville and Jacksonville against Florida. They play Tennessee at home,

495
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: they go to Mississippi State, and that's the week before

496
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: they also go to Kentucky. So every one of those

497
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: situations in one, two, three, four, five of the toughest

498
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: games Mississippi State plays this year, they own the schedule

499
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 1: dynamic advantage, or at least I think they do. So

500
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: this is not a segment about who's gonna make the playoff.

501
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: It's not a segment about who's gonna win the West.

502
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: It's a segment about who is going to make children

503
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: in some of these opposing fan bases cry themselves to

504
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: sleep at night. That's what a chaos team does. They

505
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: just they bring whaling, they bring gnashing of two fies.

506
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,959
Speaker 1: And I think that's gonna happen with Mississippi State at

507
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 1: some point this year. No skill in picking where, but

508
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna happen. I did a serious PAC

509
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: twelve radio earlier today with Mike Yam and Guy Haberman,

510
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: and we spent an inordinate amount of time, an irresponsible

511
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: amount of time talking about Washington and Washington State. And

512
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make that go to waste. So let's

513
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 1: let that have served as show prep Washington could be

514
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: a chaos team this year. You don't know anything about Washington.

515
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: Half the folks in Seattle don't know anything about the

516
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: University of Washington this year. Just own it about it.

517
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: I know that Kaylen de Boor is the new head

518
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: coach here. Kaylan de Boor is about his polar opposite

519
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: from Jimmy Lake, the outgoing head coach as you could

520
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: possibly get about outgoing, I mean fired. There's going to

521
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: be an immediate turnaround here offensively immediate. I don't know

522
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: if it's going to be quantum or just a big step,

523
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: but there will be a big turnaround statistically offensively. There.

524
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: Here's what you need to know. Here's why they're a

525
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: chaos team. They have a sneaky good offensive talent roster.

526
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: They've got two or three guys at quarterback who once

527
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: upon a time, coming out of the recruiting world, looked

528
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: like they had a lot of promise. They've got Penix,

529
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 1: Michael Penick. Do you remember that kid that played at

530
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: Indiana and then got hurt every single year, literally every

531
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,239
Speaker 1: single year he's played well, he transferred to Washington. They

532
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: got a couple of left handed quarterbacks up there right now.

533
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: My point is Kaylen de Boor is going to figure

534
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 1: out a way to have a competent forward facing offense.

535
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever said that before with one

536
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: of those guys. They are better than you think they

537
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: are wide receiver. They're better than you think they are

538
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 1: at running back. They don't play Utah this year. They

539
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: don't play USC in the regular season this year. They

540
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: go to Oregon late in the year. Washington, I know

541
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: they got to replace a couple of corners that departed

542
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: to the NFL. This is going to be a team

543
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: that has strong Tennessee vibes. And by that I mean

544
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: you got a defensive coach who didn't really know what

545
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 1: he was doing who's gone, and then you got an

546
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: offensive coach who takes over in year one. There's a

547
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: lot of transition, and they probably lose some games in

548
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: heartbreaking fashion, but they end up a little bit as

549
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: an overachiever in year one under the new staff. That's

550
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 1: what Tennessee was under hypo last year. You mark my words.

551
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: That's what Washington will be this year. Texas Tech, are

552
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,479
Speaker 1: we going to go there? Yes, let's go to Lubbock,

553
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: Cactus Time. Texas Tech. I will call them, at least

554
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: in terms of preseason, the most enigmatic team that I

555
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: have looked at. I have no clue what to expect.

556
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: I went on Twitter earlier today, I asked you guys,

557
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: who do you think the chaos team in college football

558
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: will be this year? And I think our Stanley Scott

559
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: or the Streets would call him. Trey said Texas Tech,

560
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: and so I looked into Texas Tech, and I've observed

561
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: the program, and I've observed the transformation going on out

562
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: there under Joey McGuire. Now here's what you got to

563
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: be careful of. And I'm not comparing Joey McGuire to anyone,

564
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: because every coach is his own coach, but you got

565
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: to be careful. I've suffered from this before. When infectious

566
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: personality coaches come in and they take over a program

567
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: and they're so outgoing and they're charismatic and they interact

568
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: with everyone, it's hard not to it's hard to ignore them,

569
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: and it's hard not to like them, and so you do,

570
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: and then you let your own personal feelings overlap with

571
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: your football predictions and you end up looking like an idiot.

572
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: So I'm not doing that yet, but I do feel

573
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: that way about Joey McGuire. I'm just not going quite

574
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: out on that limb yet. But Texas Tech feels like

575
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: a program just ready to exp blowed. I'm talking underrated

576
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: a lot on the show tonight. I've been to Lubbock before.

577
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: Ninety five percent of the audience has not. Lubbock is

578
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: how should Ike's Jesse Colin, you've never been to Lubbock, No,

579
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: and you don't have a mic anyway. It's like its

580
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: own world. It's not off the it's not like you

581
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: have to, you know, hop five different flights to get there,

582
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: probably two or three. I'm just saying. I'm not referring

583
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: to it like it's an outpost in the Arctic Circle,

584
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: but it's out there a little ways. First, prairie god.

585
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,719
Speaker 1: I think the first and only prairie dog I've ever

586
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,479
Speaker 1: seen was in Lubbock. They are as plentiful there as

587
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: squirrels are in Columbus, Georgia. But it's a program that

588
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: almost has like a high school on steroids vibe to

589
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: the fan base. High school football in Texas is obviously

590
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: its own world, but it feels so tribal and territorial

591
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: in the best of ways. Texas Tech's fan base is

592
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: like that, only on a much grander scale because it's

593
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:03,719
Speaker 1: a full blown college. They got classes and everything. If

594
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: someone lights the dynamite there, like once upon a time

595
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: they did with Graham Harrold and Michael Crabtree and that

596
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: squad that came through there in the latter oughts, it

597
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: will be a magical, magical time. Now. You also need

598
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: to remember the Big twelve's wide open right now, and

599
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: Texas and O you were about to leave the Big Twelve.

600
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: So it's all in front of Texas Tech this year.

601
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: They've got the second longest odds to win the Big

602
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: Twelve in the conference, one or two years away, probably

603
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: in terms of a rebuild. That doesn't mean they can't

604
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: upset someone this year. And so the last one I

605
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: wanted to look at, and this one a lot of

606
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: you mentioned, so I just wanted to give them a

607
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: little cursory glance is Boston College. I talked about Boston

608
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: College a couple of months ago, and I think it

609
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: was in a schedule segment. And the reason is because

610
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: in terms of scheduling, if we're talking about them being

611
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: a chaos team, what's the first thing you think about

612
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: if I'm talking about anyone pulling any upset in the ACC, thinking, oh,

613
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: he must be talking about their chances to beat Clemson. Yep,

614
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about with Boston College. So a

615
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: quick look at the Boston College schedule tells you they

616
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: play Clemson October eighth, A lot of big games on

617
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: October eight. That's the day A and M goes to Bama.

618
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: But that is the day that Clemson ventures up north

619
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: to play Boston College. Now, as you know, we're all

620
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: about dynamics around here, so it's not just that that

621
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: game happens that day. It's that Clemson will have played

622
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: at Wake Forest and NC State the week before they

623
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: go to Boston College. And oh, by the way, they've

624
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: got a trip to Florida State on deck the next week.

625
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: Scheduling dynamic advantage, advantage Boston College quarterback dynamic advantage, build

626
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: your COVID versus ej Amy k Klubnick also maybe, so

627
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: we'll see about that. But at the very least, there

628
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: is a puncher's chance because of the way that schedule

629
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: pans out. Chaos teams, it's going to happen. Don't let

630
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: your heart get broken. Understand the way this sport works.

631
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: And I will be happy to look at your suggestions

632
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: in the comments. What do we add? You know what

633
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: I think we can do. I think we can get

634
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: to a thousand likes, So let's just go ahead and

635
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: do that. Let's talk some recruiting. There are a lot

636
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: of moves happening right now. And I do not want

637
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: to overlook this. This is the lifeblood of the sport.

638
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: So let's spend a couple of minutes on this. Oklahoma,

639
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: I've never been bullied to the point I've been bullied

640
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: by Oklahoma fans. I respect it, though. This is the

641
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: kind of bullying I like. Does it means people are

642
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: paying attention. We did a recruiting segment last week and

643
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: we committed the borderline unp pardonable sin of not mentioning Oklahoma,

644
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: which was a little egregious because they've got the number

645
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: seven class in the country. They've got nineteen commits, nearly

646
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: a ninety two average player rating. How quickly has this happened? Well,

647
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: here's how quickly. Since June first, they've picked up fifteen verbals.

648
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: They've picked up nine or just did in the month

649
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: of July. Here is the territory that they are flirting

650
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: with right now. As you look at some of their

651
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: notable commits, headlined by Jackson Arnold, a lead eleven MVP quarterback,

652
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: they are on the precipice of doing something Lincoln Riley

653
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,959
Speaker 1: never did. Now, there's still a little waste to go.

654
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: Let's see how it pans out. We got to keep

655
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: the guys committed, we got to land a few more.

656
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley never landed a top five class at Oklahoma.

657
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: He landed some top ten classes, so he wasn't that

658
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: far away, but he never landed a top five class.

659
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: There are people around the Oklahoma camp who believe they're

660
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: about to land a top five class. I'm not pushing

661
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: back on that because they've got a couple of guys

662
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: crystal ball there that if they do end up becoming sooners,

663
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: will probably push them up to top five status. There's

664
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: been some staff turnover without getting into that whole can

665
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: of worms lately, and there is probably an unanswerable question

666
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: at this point, asked you how much impact that's going

667
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: to have on this class and potential commits moving forward.

668
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,959
Speaker 1: But I can't know the answer to that. So outside

669
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: of knowing the answer to that, if I just assume

670
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: that recruiting will largely maintain its pace out there, this

671
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: is an answer to a huge question. I mean, when

672
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: Brent Venables got hired, no one on this show or

673
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: elsewhere that I heard questioned his coaching acumen or questioned,

674
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: you know, whether he can coach defense. The two questions

675
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: I had and they were literally questions, not doubts. Is

676
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: once the offense going to look like and I haven't

677
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: seen that yet. But then the second thing was how's

678
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: he going to be able to recruit offensive talent? And

679
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 1: there was this kind of addendum to that with A

680
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: and M and Texas both trending very very positive in recruiting.

681
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: Is Oklahoma going to get shut out of Texas too much?

682
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: And this short answer has been no. They've been able

683
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: to go pretty much wherever they need to. So right now,

684
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 1: as I said, they're sitting seven in the country, they're

685
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: still in it for several high level guys. This could

686
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: be a top five class. If it is, it'll be

687
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: the highest rated Oklahoma recruiting class in the modern era

688
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 1: LSU and fresh off of commitment. Just this afternoon, LSU

689
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: landed four star quarterback Ricky Collins out of Baton Ruge.

690
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,280
Speaker 1: That's on the heels of landing five star receiver Shelton Sampson,

691
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: also from Baton Rouge. It turns out Louisiana produces a

692
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: lot of high level players, and I think an interesting

693
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: formula could be what if LSU keeps in state kids

694
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 1: in state. You know, there's been a lot of Baton

695
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: Rouge and surrounding area talent go on to win championships

696
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: at Alabama. Once upon a time, they kept most of

697
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: those guys home. There is a concerted effort to do

698
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: that again there. LSU has the number six class in

699
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 1: the country right now. They're not close to being done.

700
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 1: It's been fun to watch this from a distance, really fun.

701
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: You know why because as of July one, this class

702
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: was not ranked inside the top forty. And then, as

703
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: primetime players tend to do, they made their move, and

704
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: now LSU is ranked number six in the country, their

705
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: average player rating ninety two point thirteen. And so a

706
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 1: lot of those folks who are very adamant, I'm talking

707
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: all caps adamant that Brian Kelly was in over his

708
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: head and the SEC have taken an extended lunch break,

709
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: no end in sight. I look for him. I look

710
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: for you guys every day in the comment section, and

711
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: the keyboard's broken like that angry panda gift. He's banging

712
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: on the table and throw it over your shoulder. They're

713
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: not coming back. LSU is here to stay. Let me

714
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: explain something to you. These are shark infested waters in

715
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: the SEC. Everyone gets that Brian Kelly was not taken

716
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: by surprise when he came to the SEC. The formula

717
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: for winning. I'm not going to rehash this stuff because

718
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: I've said it a million times. The formula for winning

719
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: is the formula for winning. It's not about culture fit,

720
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: it's not about how you talk, it's not about any

721
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: of that stuff. It's about the principles that it takes

722
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: to build a sustained successful organization, which Brian Kelly has

723
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 1: proven himself to be able to do it multiple stops

724
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: over multiple years and decades. At this point, he'll do

725
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 1: it there. It's not a matter of if, it's a

726
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: matter of when. Any of you planning on making a

727
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 1: career out of doubting Brian Kelly at LSU are probably

728
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: going to be out of business in the not too

729
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: distant future. So I don't have any doubts about LSU.

730
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: Never did, for the record, But now we're getting that

731
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,479
Speaker 1: backed up a little bit. Texas is sitting at number

732
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 1: three in the country right now. Texas is on fire.

733
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: Cedric Baxter is the latest edition here. He's a four

734
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,439
Speaker 1: star running back. I don't think that perks your ears

735
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 1: up quite as much as this will He's a four

736
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: star running back from Orlando, Florida. You know why that

737
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: is significant? That is the highest rated kid out of

738
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: the state of Florida that the University of Texas has

739
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: landed in several years. We went back and looked. I

740
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 1: saw Andrew Ivans looking back, and he said, I don't

741
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: know of one that was rated higher. Now here's the misnomer.

742
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: The misconception is the mac Brown syndrome, as I call it,

743
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 1: of they don't ever have to leave the state of Texas. Yeah,

744
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: they do, they really do. If you want to recruit

745
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: the best product you can possibly put on the field,

746
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: Texas has got to leave Texas. Georgia's gotta leave Georgia,

747
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: usc gotta leave California, and dare I say Miami and

748
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 1: Florida may even have to leave the state of Florida.

749
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: The best talent doesn't always neatly fit inside these imaginary

750
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: geographic lines that we call state lines. So Texas understands

751
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 1: that Steve Sarkizan understands that they went and got Cedric Baxter.

752
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: You see some of the other verbals they have. They

753
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: are number three right now, twenty two commits. They may

754
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 1: push for the number one class in the country. I'm

755
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: gonna clear my throat for just a second. They may

756
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: push for the number one class in the country. Here,

757
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 1: look at the average player rating ninety two point one eight.

758
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: That's legit. They're only I think three teams. I saw

759
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: three or four teams that are higher rated on the

760
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,760
Speaker 1: average commit spectrum than Texas. Also, I would be remiss

761
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: if I didn't talk about Jackson Smollick, who was an

762
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 1: Elite eleven guy. We got our eyes on him last

763
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: month now, I think it was in La. He decommitted

764
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: from Tulane today and producer Jesse gave me some scoop.

765
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,760
Speaker 1: According to producer Jesse, he likes Penn State. A couple

766
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: of crystal balls now in there for Penn State. And

767
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 1: if he commits to Penn State, let's let it happen first.

768
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: If he commits to Penn State, are we starting to

769
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: see James Franklin and Penn State stack quarterback talent? They

770
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: just brought in Drew Holler. Sean Clifford's kept the spot

771
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: warm for the greater part of the last decade. Literally,

772
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 1: So let's just keep an eye on Jackson Spoiling. Not

773
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 1: much to say about him. He he committed today. There

774
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: you see his player profile six', two two hundred Top

775
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: he's the number thirty quarterback in the cycle for twenty twenty.

776
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: Three crystal ball's coming in For Penn. State let's watch

788
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: easy for. Me DARE i, say and it's not even.

789
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: CLOSE i do not dare say that it's The Big.

790
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: Twelve this depends on your, perspective because he said the most.

791
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: Exciting what is your? Perspective how do you define? Exciting

792
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: are you Someone jake or anyone else who's been brainwashed

793
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: into thinking that you have to have a playoff spot

794
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: on the line for a game to. Matter do you

795
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 1: have to have playoff implications riding on a game for

796
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 1: it to be? Exciting if you, do maybe The Big

797
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: twelve is not for you this. Year maybe maybe. NOT

798
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: i am not of that, crowd not of that. Ilk

799
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 1: if you, WILL i can watch a seven and three

800
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: team play a six and four, team both of whom

801
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: were expected to be six win, teams AND i can

802
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: say this is going to be a great game BECAUSE

803
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 1: i Love, saturdays every Given, saturday as a matter of.

804
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 1: Fact SO i am looking at The Big twelve And

805
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: i'm looking at the odds to win it right, now

806
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 1: And oklahoma is the current favorite at plus two. Ten

807
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: notice that that plus two ten does not look like

808
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: these other. Conferences Ohio state is a strong minus money

809
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: favorite to win The Big. Ten bama's a minus money

810
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: favorite to win THE. Sec so part one of WHY

811
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: i love this conference so much this year is there

812
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: is no clear. Favorite let me describe The Big twelve to.

813
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: You last year's Champ. Baylor they think they upgraded at

814
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: quarterbacks so much so that they let their quarterback from

815
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: last year. Transfer so they think they upgraded last year's conference.

816
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: Champ they've, got in my, opinion the best top to

817
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: bottom coaching staff in The Big. Twelve they got my

818
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: favorite head coach in The Big. Twelve they return their

819
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: entire defensive, front which was a hallmark of why they

820
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: won The Big twelve last, year and yet they've got

821
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: the fourth best odds to win the. Conference it's called competitive.

822
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 1: Balance that's. Parody you guys want it so, much, Well

823
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: i'm giving it to you right here in droves in

824
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: The Big. Twelve, also nobody in The Big twelve is

825
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 1: among the current top four favorites to make the, playoffs

826
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: which screams wide. Open that's the style of play that

827
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: they've become synonymous. For ALTHOUGH i would argue it is

828
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: long since become a defensive. Conference some of the best

829
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,240
Speaker 1: defense in the country is being played in The Big twelve.

830
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: Now and when did you ever think you would say

831
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: that six or seven years? Ago this is the every

832
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 1: Given saturday. Conference if our tour this year has an

833
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: example that we point out as a, conference it's The

834
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: Big Twelve. Oklahoma if you just go up and down the, List,

835
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: Oklahoma Brent vennable's in. There they Got Dylan, gabriel pairing

836
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: him up With Jeff. Levy they think that they are

837
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: sneakily as, good if not, better at many positions that

838
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: some people are doubting them. At they're the preseason favorite

839
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: to win the. Conference over under nine and a half Wins.

840
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: TEXAS i don't really THINK i need to tout them

841
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: all that. Much you know about Quinn, ewers you know

842
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: about the year one to year two Under, stark you

843
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,880

846
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 1: YEAR i don't need a Tout baylor. Anymore you know

847
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 1: my thoughts on. Them Oklahoma state is sitting there with

848
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: the third best odds to win The Big. Twelve they

849
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: came within a couple of eyelashes of being undefeated last.

850
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: YEAR i think they lost To Iowa state and they

851
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 1: lost To baylor in the conference championship game by inches both,

852
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: Ways so bounce of the ball goes a different way

853
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 1: a couple of times For Oklahoma. State they're in the

854
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: playoff last, year they're sitting there once again this, Year

855
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 1: Spencer sanders Or Sean clifford of The Big Twelve Iowa.

856
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:46,279

00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 1: Them just, know LIKE i told you earlier in the,

858
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: show there's a lot of there's a lot of internal confidence.

859
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: There it's not external, Yet oh trust, me no one

860
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: outside Of Iowa state hasn't probably a little bit more

861
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: of a comfort zone for them than the situation last

862
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: year where, everyone including yours, truly was buying into. HIM

863
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 1: Tcu sunday Ed dice in, town got a couple of

864
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks out. There we're trying to figure out who we're

865
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: gonna play, with hopefully win. WITH i know Our Buderick

866
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: elliott his CIRCLE tcu is one of his sleepers in

867
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: The Big. Twelve the rest of the country, collectively you,

868
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: all every one of, you has Circled Kansas state as

869
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: your other sleeper with good. Reason they have the fifth

870
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 1: best odds to win The Big twelve this. Year Adrian.

871
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: Martinez everyone hooking that wagon To Adrian martinez at. Quarterback,

872
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: HEY i hope you're, RIGHT i really. Do West virginia

873
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: is a team THAT i have circled as being one

874
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:38,879
Speaker 1: of my favorite bets of the year at the over

875
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: on five and a half wins only BECAUSE i think

876
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: if we can get an answer at quarterback IN. Jt,

877
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: daniels Which i'm banking, on everything else is set to

878
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 1: go offensively there secondary we'll see they got talent. There

879
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: it has to be, infused it has to. Gel but

880
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: The kansas even The kansas crowd is looking around, saying

881
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 1: could we flirt with A bowl game this? Year none is.

882
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: No but remember we have to take this into. Context

883
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: kansas has not won more than three games SINCE i

884
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: want to, say two thousand and. Nine so if they're

885
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: even in the four win, range if they're Playing Kansas

886
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 1: state at the end of the year where they fourth

887
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,280
Speaker 1: or even a fifth win on, tap then that's. Huge

888
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:18,760
Speaker 1: that would be. Great we talked About Texas tech earlier

889
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: in the. Show my point is there is intrigue and

890
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:25,959
Speaker 1: excitement and allure up and down the. Conference don't fall

891
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: into that, trap you, know the trap that's going to

892
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 1: be sprung for you towards the end of the, year

893
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: especially if no one from this conference looks like they're

894
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: going to go to the. Playoff some casual or maybe

895
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 1: a dozen depending on what kind of social circles you run.

896
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 1: In they're going to try and tell you that those

897
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:46,399
Speaker 1: are meaningless. Games, yeah they're going to tell you they're.

898
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:50,080

Speaker 1: not just going Strictly bama's foremost important Or georgia's foremost.

917
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: IMPORTANT i wanted to get around the conference a little bit.

918
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: Here So TEXAS a And TEXAS a AND m At.

919
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: ALABAMA i got no problem, saying, yep that's one of.

920
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: THEM i, see we just spoiled it with the graphic.

921
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 1: Here that's, Great TEXAS a AND m at Ala obama

922
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: is one of. Them That's october. EIGHTH i don't really

923
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: think much needs to be said about. That but it's

924
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: not because of The Jimbo saban. Thing i'm thinking about

925
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 1: which talent roster out there can Push alabama the, most

926
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 1: and IT'S a AND. M it WAS a AND m last,

927
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: year and IT'S a AND m again this, year at

928
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 1: least in the regular. Season now we're looking at this

929
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: before we know who's, starting probably going to be Haines,

930
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 1: kiing but we don't know who's going to be starting

931
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: at quarterback For TEXAS a AND. M but my question

932
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: ABOUT a AND m is what status are they in

933
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: once they get To, Tuscaloosa because it's not a cake

934
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: walk before they get. There, remember they've got to Play.

935
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 1: Arkansas they've already Played miami by that, point they've got

936
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: to go To Mississippi state the week. Before and here's

937
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 1: WHAT i don't. Like those are three consecutive trips on

938
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: the road for. Them they play In, dallas then they

939
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: play In, stargville then they play In. Tuscaloosa so that's

940
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: like a back to back to back road. Stretch the

941
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 1: only team that had to do that last year in

942
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 1: this conference Was arkansas and the third, game the third

943
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: leg of that three week ROW d trip was a

944
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: splattering on the road At, Georgia so just keep that

945
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 1: in the back of your. Mind next, Up georgia At

946
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 1: kentucky in week. Twelve we had a question the other

947
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,840
Speaker 1: day about whether maybe The Every Given saturday tour could

948
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: take a trip To lexington for this, game and at

949
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 1: FIRST i said, No but then the MORE i thought about,

950
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 1: it the MORE i think it's a decinct, possibility especially

951
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: because there is no standout, game there's no immediate headline

952
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,280
Speaker 1: grabber that, day and this could be for THE Sec.

953
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: East these are the two odds on favorites in THE Sec.

954
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:36,280
Speaker 1: EAST i think a lot of folks out there believe

955
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 1: if you Play kentucky that deep in the, season they'll

956
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,479
Speaker 1: already be out of the. Race you could be, right

957
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: you could be. Wrong i'm just saying that's going to

958
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 1: be a really important, one not just because of potential division,

959
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: standings but independent of what these standings look. Like georgia

960
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: is coming off easily their toughest stretch of. Games that

961
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 1: sees them go To jacksonville to play For, florida then

962
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,359
Speaker 1: they Got tennessee at, home then they go To Mississippi,

963
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,280
Speaker 1: state then they go To. Kentucky so that's the fourth

964
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: leg of a really tough four game. Stretch it's the

965
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 1: second leg of a back to back road. Stretch it's

966
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 1: the third time on the road in four. Weeks it's

967
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: not gonna be, easy not gonna be easy at. All

968
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: The week two game In, FAYETTEVILLE i wanted to point

969
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 1: Out South carolina At. Arkansas arkansas plays host To cincinnati

970
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 1: In week, one then they get into conference play In

971
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 1: week two With South carolina At. Arkansas this is certainly

972
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 1: not a national radar. Game but What i'm thinking about

973
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 1: is the perception Around arkansas is not that they're going

974
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: to challenge for The. West but let's see if they're

975
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: better than last year and if they can improve on

976
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 1: last year's. Record well to do, that they can't have

977
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 1: any hiccups this early in the. Year they can't lose To,

978
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: cincinnati they can't lose To South. Carolina but yet if

979
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:55,320
Speaker 1: you go over To Columbia South, carolina they're saying to, Themselves,

980
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 1: dude if we go on the road and we lose To,

981
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 1: arkansas then we Got georgia the very next, week because

982
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: that's how the schedule. Starts For South. Carolina they play

983
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:07,720
Speaker 1: At arkansas in week, two they got home Against georgia

984
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: in week. Three they're thinking to, themselves we may be

985
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 1: one in two right out of the. Gate, well that's

986
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 1: not acceptable for either. Program, obviously both of these programs

987
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:21,280
Speaker 1: are such that they're trending. Up they have, overachieved they've

988
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,760
Speaker 1: developed a brief reputation of doing. That it's really fun

989
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 1: to see those two collide this early in the. Year

990
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: the last ONE i wanted to touch. On there are

991
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 1: a lot of conditions to this last. ONE lsu At

992
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 1: auburn in week. FIVE lsu will have already PLAYED fsu

993
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,919
Speaker 1: in week, one they will have PLAYED i Think Mississippi,

994
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: state but this is their first real test on the.

995
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:49,720
Speaker 1: Road you always learn something about yourself especially in conference

996
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:51,240
Speaker 1: when you go on the road for the first. Time

997
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:55,839
Speaker 1: but also think about Where auburn is at this, point

998
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: because this is the last shot they have at taking

999
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 1: advantage of a really workable early. Stretch they don't leave

1000
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 1: home for a long. Time look at this, Schedule mercer at,

1001
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: Home San Jose state at, Home Penn state at, Home

1002
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: missouri at, HOME lsu at, home and then you won't

1003
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: see them much after that at home they got at,

1004
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 1: home at, home at. Home, yeah so they got a

1005
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: lot of road stretch to deal with in the second,

1006
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: half but the first half of the, season they've got

1007
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,919
Speaker 1: two conference opponents at. Home the entire, hope the entire

1008
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: premise of hope For Brian harson and his staff this

1009
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 1: year are is just protect. Home because they're thinking to

1010
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: themselves And i'm thinking About. Auburn they've got a shot

1011
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 1: to start five and, oh they got a shot to

1012
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 1: start two and three, Too but they got a shot

1013
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: to start five and oh. There they will not be

1014
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: a big point spread underdog in any of those. Games

1015
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:47,399
Speaker 1: they'll be a very short dog Against Penn, State they'll

1016
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 1: be a very short, dog if not a slight favorite AGAINST.

1017
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: Lsu and the point is if there's going to be

1018
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:56,879
Speaker 1: one of those sort of circling of the wagon type

1019
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: effects For auburn this, Year, well they've got to win this.

1020
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,799
Speaker 1: Game well what does that feel like FOR? Lsu because

1021
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 1: WHEN lsu is looking at that early season, schedule they

1022
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: look at that trip To auburn and they're, saying, well

1023
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: that's kind of a place if we've got to go

1024
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: on the, road that we want to go because that's

1025
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:15,240
Speaker 1: a weekend team this, year we can take them either.

1026
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,839
Speaker 1: Venue so if we got to go on the, road,

1027
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 1: hey why not go To. Auburn it's the beauty of this.

1028
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 1: SPORT a lot of people think that there are a

1029
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 1: lot of games when you look at that helmet grid

1030
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 1: schedule where both programs fully expect to. Win they see

1031
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 1: no reason why they should lose that. GAME a AND

1032
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: m At, Bama georgia At, Kentucky South carolina At, ARKANSAS
