Speaker 2: It says everything you need to know about the way

9
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 2: we view certain college football programs. That the number one

10
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,159
Speaker 2: team in the country, the number one team in the

11
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: college football Playoff, the dominant team throughout the course of

12
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: this season. Undefeated Indiana is up seventeen to nothing after

13
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 2: one half of their first playoff game, and everybody's surprised.

14
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: He's buck rising on Jason Fitz taking over.

15
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 3: Oh, non believers, doubters, haters, look at says.

16
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 4: Who's surprised?

17
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: You really? You want to know the answer to that? Everybody?

18
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 4: So, I don't know. We learned twelve, by the way,

19
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 4: suck it nerd.

20
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 2: Okay, this is only going to get worse for the

21
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: next hour, by the way.

22
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 3: Because if they score again, I am going to be unbearable.

23
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 2: Well right now, the question is are they about to

24
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 2: get the ball back? And the answer to that appears

25
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: to be yes. It looks like they're going to get

26
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 2: the ball back and have the opportunity to do some

27
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: damage this college football playoffs so far. And the funny

28
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: thing is, Buck, let's be honest, I keep going back

29
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: to Indiana because I want to give credit here. Too

30
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: much of the conversation for the next three, four or

31
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: five days is going to be about where Alabama failed.

32
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: But when you look at the way this college football

33
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: playoff is played through so far, like we saw Ohio

34
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: State get their asses kicked by Miami, right, We've seen

35
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: certainly over and over and over again, we've seen results

36
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: that are like, Okay, I get it right. We watched

37
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: Texas Tech that was a favorite, or the higher seede

38
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 2: I should say, against Oregon and get absolutely beat down

39
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: by Oregon. We are finally seeing a higher seated team

40
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: come out and play like the higher seeded dominant team

41
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: we thought they should be. And now everybody's shocked by this.

42
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: Indiana has been the best team in the country. They're

43
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: the number one team in the playoff, and they're just

44
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: simply showing us why right now.

45
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 3: OH and six are all other teams. This was courtesy

46
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 3: of the broadcast earlier. OH and six are all other

47
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 3: teams who have had a first round by except with

48
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 3: an entire half of football to play the Indiana Hoosiers, who,

49
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 3: by the way, are up seventeen to nothing on an

50
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 3: opponent who in their first round of the college football playoff.

51
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 3: We're down seventeen to nothing to their previous opponent came

52
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 3: back and won the game.

53
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 4: So I still don't feel great. I'm I am the score.

54
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: Here be that moment like if they go up twenty

55
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 2: four to nothing, then do your no no start to

56
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: say yes yes, oh.

57
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, then I'm getting naked, like I will be naked

58
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 3: for the final hour of the show.

59
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 4: Nobody can see us.

60
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: It's fine, just you, Okay, this is where y'all think

61
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: he's kidding. He came back the other night and when

62
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: we were on radio Tuesday night, we start our number

63
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: two and suddenly books in just a terry cloth hotel rope.

64
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: I have no idea why all of a sudden, like

65
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: I'm just impressed that tonight you're not in a robe.

66
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 3: You know.

67
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: It just feels like now I've given him an idea.

68
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: If he doesn't talk for a few minutes, it probably

69
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: means he went the road looking at so I can,

70
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: I can.

71
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 4: I have multiple just so you know, different materials. You know.

72
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: I still, I still think it's a Now, I'm worried

73
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: that I want a field goal, not a touchdown. If

74
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: a field goal happens, maybe he'll keep his pants on.

75
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't promise that.

76
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 3: I think a field goal is enough to the field

77
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 3: goal will start strip strip pokering our way through the

78
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 3: rest of the game.

79
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: Okay, suddenly I roll tide.

80
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 3: For every field goal, an article of clothing goes. That

81
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 3: is the new rule. Covino and Richard never gonna let.

82
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 4: Us come back.

83
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: Well, at least they're going to ask that we keep

84
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: that same standard every time. Does every show have to

85
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: have a thing like pee wee? Herman had a word

86
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: of the day, And we're gonna Cavino and Richard every

87
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: time certain thing happens. And then all of a sudden,

88
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: we're out here, Buck's taking his clothes off. I don't

89
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: know what's happening right now. It's been a wild couple

90
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: of days, though, and I was loud as you well know.

91
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: With you, I was loud about my hatred for the

92
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: college football calendar because I wanted the excitement of what

93
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: we finally have. So last night we get the shocking

94
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: result for a lot of people of Miami, just dismantling

95
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: Ohio state. That was shocking for a lot of people.

96
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 2: Then Oregon today took care of business much more physical.

97
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: Now we have Indiana controlling both lines of scrimmage, which

98
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: I keep going back to is a massive key. And

99
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: then tonight we do get Ole Miss versus Georgia, a

100
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: rematch matchup. And it's funny because I found myself three

101
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 2: days ago, two days ago, when we were talking about

102
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 2: that game, saying, Okay, well, we have no idea what

103
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: Ole Miss really looks like. Different head coach has to

104
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: matter at some point, and I believe in proof of concept.

105
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 2: I believe in Ben they're done that sometimes and frankly,

106
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,799
Speaker 2: Kirby Smart's one of only two coaches too, you're currently

107
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: active to have a national championship. So I have all

108
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 2: the faith in Georgia. Well, over the last twenty four hours,

109
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: everything that we would think for faith in Ben, They're

110
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: done that hasn't really mattered. So maybe maybe maybe I'm

111
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 2: overvaluing what it means to have been in these situations before.

112
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: Given the way the current college football playoff is playing out.

113
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 4: No, I.

114
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 3: Don't want to discount that. I mean, why why do

115
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: you think you're you're overplaying that.

116
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 2: Well, because I mean certainly didn't matter at all. I

117
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: respect Ryan Day coming on saying it's my fault I

118
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: didn't do a good enough job.

119
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 3: Which, by the way, he took over play calling like that.

120
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: That's an underrated storyline in all of this that Brian

121
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 3: Hartline got the Was it South Florida or Central Florida.

122
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 3: Either way, he's the coach of some Florida directional school

123
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 3: at this point in time. The Ohio State offensive coordinator

124
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: who went on to the who went on to become

125
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 3: a head coach after being a wide receivers coach. He's

126
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 3: a huge recruiter, obviously, but South he stayed South Florida. Yeah, okay,

127
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: so he stayed on staff. But Ryan Day decided that

128
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 3: he was going to take over the play calling in

129
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 3: that situation. And I don't necessarily think I think it

130
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 3: was an interesting thing to kind of key an eye on,

131
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 3: because what did we just say, Ohio State's offense look disjointed,

132
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 3: and Ryan Day's been a play caller before.

133
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 4: It's not like he's never done that.

134
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 3: Job, and certainly he's been a head coach and play

135
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 3: caller before, so I don't want to put too much

136
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: value into that, but like that is a factor that

137
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 3: I'm sure we'll be discussed throughout the course of the

138
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 3: fallout for Ohio State. I'm certain Ohio State fans are

139
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 3: not ignorant to that fact. I haven't checked message boards

140
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: or anything like that, but I think that there's a

141
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 3: couple of different things. There's a lot of context around

142
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 3: the situations that have seen these teams in the first

143
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 3: round or that have gotten rather the first round by

144
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 3: fall short. Now the really interesting one because I don't know,

145
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,239
Speaker 3: I expected this to be a closer game. Vegas clearly

146
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 3: thought that Indiana was superior by a considerable margin. Seven

147
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 3: and a half points on a neutral field is a

148
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 3: huge line for Indiana over Alabama. I don't care what

149
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 3: year it is and who's coaching those teams. That's an

150
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 3: insane thing to see. What's going to be really interesting

151
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: is tonight Ole miss who you know, just waltzed by

152
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 3: Tulane for the second time this season and is doing

153
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 3: it with most of their staff intact. It sounds like

154
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin is going to be attending the LSU's women's

155
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 3: basketball game tonight, as opposed to peeking in on the.

156
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: Good idea, on the just a good idea. Lane for once,

157
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 2: that's a good idea.

158
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 3: But Georgia, Yeah, he's He's very difficult to defend if

159
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 3: you are somebody who has any interest whatsoever in defending

160
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin, of which I have very little, even though

161
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 3: I enjoy point being the real interesting sample size tonight

162
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 3: because I don't know, I was curious to see how

163
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 3: Indiana would look after a twenty day layoff. But the

164
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 3: thing that I most appreciate about the Kurt Signetti experience

165
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 3: is something that we talked about earlier. They are never unprepared.

166
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 3: They have not once looked unprepared. They have been outmatched,

167
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 3: they have been beaten in Signetti's first year. They obviously

168
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 3: haven't lost a game this year, but they have never

169
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 3: looked unprepared for the moment for the opponent. And that's

170
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 3: holding so again today with a seventeen to nothing lead,

171
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 3: as we get what a little we're about midway through

172
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 3: the third quarter at this point in time, Georgia is

173
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 3: also somebody who I think of in that same context.

174
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 3: I think that Kirby Smart is as good of a

175
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 3: motivator in a single moment as any coach in the country.

176
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 3: I think that he can get the best out of

177
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 3: his players on a dime. I think that Gunner Stockton

178
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 3: is one of the most impressive quarterbacks in college football

179
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 3: this year. And I think that they've you know, their

180
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 3: defense isn't what you typically associate Georgia with, but they're

181
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 3: good enough and they're getting coached up enough. What do

182
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 3: they look like tonight against an Ole Miss team that is,

183
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 3: you know, got the They've got the kind of motivation

184
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 3: that you can't just manifest. Right, they've got Our coach

185
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 3: didn't even believe in us, He left us for a

186
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 3: better dig. Let's go out there and beat everybody's ass

187
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 3: under Pete Golding and prove them wrong. I don't know

188
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 3: if that's got enough of an effect to get past

189
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 3: Georgia tonight. In fact, I think Georgia wins, and wins

190
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 3: pretty comfortably as.

191
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 4: Indian scored another damn touch.

192
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 3: Let's go twenty three enough see that. I was waiting,

193
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that feels so good. Look at those

194
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 3: sad ass Bama fans.

195
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 4: Suck it.

196
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: God, No, he's buck Rising. Just to be very clear,

Speaker 2: Pinpoint throw, great placements. Fernanda Mendoza having a nice game,

203
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 2: but he's not the key. I'll tell you about it

211
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 2: so there's one. There's one threat that we've seen absolutely

212
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: every game so far. It is continuing right now, and

213
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 2: it is why George is gonna win this football game.

214
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 2: I think the read that we are seeing as we

215
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 2: stand right now, and this is the easy number that

216
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: I'm going to go to. I'm gonna go to. We

217
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: just mentioned Fernando Mendoza. Obviously he's having a good game,

218
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 2: taking nothing away from the fact that he is having

219
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 2: a good game right now. In this game, Alabama has

220
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 2: eleven rushing attempts. Hear me on this Alabama has eleven

221
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: rushing attempts so far as we sit right now, Indiana

222
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 2: has thirty two. Go back to the game earlier, Oregon

223
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 2: in that game against Texas Tech, I mentioned it they

224
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: weren't able to run the ball with the damn but

225
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: they tried the entire game. Oregon finished with forty seven

226
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: carries for sixty four yards. That's compared to thirty carries

227
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: for Texas Tech. Right, there's a thread happening here. If

228
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: you go back then you look, in fact at the

229
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: Miami game. If you look at Miami against Ohio State

230
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 2: and take a look at their rushing attempts. Right, We're

231
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 2: not even just talking about success running the ball. I'm

232
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 2: just talking about are you trying to run the ball?

233
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 2: Ohio State tried to run the ball twenty four times.

234
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 2: Miami ran the ball thirty seven. The thing that we

235
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 2: are seeing so far is controlling the lines of scrimmage

236
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: is absolutely how you win this game. So as much

237
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: as we're quarterback obsessed, Fernando Mendoza just throws the touchdown pass.

238
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 2: Part of the way he was able to throw that

239
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 2: touchdown pass is because they're establishing the run. My concern

240
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 2: for this Georgia ole Miss game is go back and

241
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 2: look at when they played earlier this season, when Ole

242
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 2: Miss had twenty four carries for eighty eight yards. Right

243
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: in that same game, Georgia had forty nine carries for

244
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 2: two one hundred and twenty one yards. The one through

245
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 2: thing that we are seeing in every one of these

246
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 2: college football playoff matchups so far is the team that

247
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 2: commits to just trying to establish It doesn't even matter

248
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 2: if you're running the ball effectively. The team that is

249
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: just out there wearing you down attempting to run the

250
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: ball is the team that wins the game.

251
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's the kind of strategy that you have

252
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 3: to have in the postseason, no matter what level of

253
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 3: football that we're talking about.

254
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 4: Right.

255
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 3: We mentioned a different version of this when we were

256
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 3: talking about the Ravens and their formula for success moving

257
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 3: forward and why the hell it took Todd Monkins so

258
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 3: long to just give Derek Henry the football And maybe

259
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 3: your defense isn't the defense to lean upon at this

260
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,599
Speaker 3: point in time. But you have to be able to

261
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 3: control the game in the trenches. It's why I think.

262
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 3: You know, this gets into larger conversations about philosophy and

263
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 3: roster building and things like that, but I just think

264
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 3: it's so much more valuable to have the advantage in

265
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 3: the trenches than any other position on the field, and

266
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 3: I would argue even more so than quarterback, because if

267
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 3: you give an average quarterback the support of a ground

268
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 3: game to balance out the offense and an offensive line

269
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 3: in front of him, that's going to keep him clean.

270
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 4: For the most part.

271
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 3: I think you can get plenty pretty replacement level two

272
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 3: above average quarterback play out of just about any starting

273
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 3: caliber quarterback in that circumstance. I'm not saying the quarterback,

274
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 3: you know, isn't still the most important play position in

275
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 3: all of sports. We understand the level of importance and

276
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: the level of responsibility that's that's had there, but I think.

277
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 4: That there the formula is just so cle, so clear

278
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 4: and obvious.

279
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 3: And this is the thing that coaches will tell you

280
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 3: all the time, even the coaches that make this mistake,

281
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 3: is that sometimes you get too cute, Sometimes you overthink things,

282
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 3: sometimes you try and you know, come up with all

283
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 3: of these complicated blitzes, and if you're a defensive coordinator,

284
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 3: all these different complicated coverage looks and disguises and things

285
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 3: like that, only for a young, inexperienced quarterback to beat

286
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 3: your design because he doesn't nobody's looking at anyway, and

287
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 3: he's just going to try and complete a pass. Or

288
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 3: you think you big brain your way into an offensive

289
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 3: game plan that just again, to use the Ravens example,

290
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 3: that doesn't lean enough on Derrick Henry in the most

291
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 3: important moment of the game, when that's your best source

292
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 3: of momentum. If Lamar Jackson is struggling and all of

293
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 3: a sudden you're looking around being like that guy is

294
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 3: a weapon, why aren't you using him?

295
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 4: Why keep it simple? Stupid?

296
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: Football is not complicated. It's just about it's just detailed. Okay,

297
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 3: it's not that complicated. There is a huge gulf between

298
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 3: those two things. And I think if you look at

299
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 3: the kind of moments when these coaches get caught up,

300
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 3: and it's understandable. We all do in our professions. We

301
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: all over things. We all you know, sometimes get too cute.

302
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 3: But when your when your job, your livelihood, the fortunes

303
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 3: of everybody on your roster and your coaching staff or

304
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 3: hanging in the balance. Don't be the guy that gets

305
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 3: too cute.

306
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,479
Speaker 2: Maybe the smartest thing you've ever said, football is not complicated.

307
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 2: It's detail oriented. I'm gonna steal that. You could be

308
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: that smart too. If you checked out University of Maryland

Speaker 2: Again that promo code cur show At DraftKings, the crown

338
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 2: is yours. We have a quarterback change at this point.

339
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: Looks like due to some due to an injury, so

340
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 2: Austin Mack is in at the quarterback position for Alabama.

341
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 2: Ty Simpson in the first half had a play where

342
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 2: he fumbled the ball. He took a hit, looked like

343
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: his hand was stepped on in that process too. During halftime,

344
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 2: apparently they worked on it, but he just can't get

345
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 2: the velocity on the football that he needs to. So

346
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 2: now Austin Mack is in to Austin Mack's credit, sophomore

347
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 2: by the way, only throwing sixteen passes all year, but

348
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 2: he is driving them down the field and has gotten

349
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 2: them into a goal to go situation. So they're about

350
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 2: to have second in goal to go. But if you

351
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 2: are just tuning in right now, the score is Indiana

352
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 2: twenty four Alabama nothing. Now there are still four minutes

353
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: to go in the third, so plenty of time for

354
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 2: this thing to make Buck Rising uncomfortable? How we feel like?

355
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 2: How we feeling like? You get this backup quarterback coming in? Now?

356
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 2: We got the Disney movie Do we have two of

357
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 2: part two?

358
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 4: Do I? Well?

359
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 3: That was the thing that I said to you during

360
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 3: the break. And if Austin Mack is gonna gonna do

361
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 3: this thing, he's got to protect himself a little better.

362
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 3: He just took a pretty decent size hit on that scramble,

363
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 3: a beautiful throat to Josh Quavis the tight end on

364
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 3: the move though to set them up in the red zone.

365
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 3: Alabama is excuse me, macus three of three for fifty

366
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 3: one yards on just this drive a loan. So we'll

367
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 3: see if you can't punch it in here. I mean,

368
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 3: this is the last time Bamas that had to do

369
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 3: something similar, right, was two in Jalen Hurts in the

370
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 3: in the championship game. One of the ballsiest coaching decisions

371
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 3: you've ever seen a coach make, no matter Nick Saban

372
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 3: or anybody else in between. Obviously Saban made the call

373
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 3: and was correct in it is their hand is being

374
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 3: forced in this situation, which is the biggest difference.

375
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 4: Obviously.

376
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 3: I do want to say though, that I you know,

377
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 3: I've been I've been celebrating the demise of Alabama as

378
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 3: an Indiana alum and bandwagon Indiana football fan because I've

379
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 3: never cared about that football program.

380
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 4: A day in my life before.

381
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 3: I would even argue this year, I didn't really I

382
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 3: didn't really get into it last year either, if I'm

383
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 3: being completely honest with you. But it's fine, we're here now.

384
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 3: I want to say that I have been celebrating the

385
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 3: demise of Alabama. I do not want to see Ty

386
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 3: Simpson have to go out like that.

387
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 4: He is a.

388
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 3: He's just a competitor. He's an incredible competitor. Not just

389
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 3: because we've got a little bias towards him here in

390
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 3: the state of Tennessee. He is a Tennessee product, and

391
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 3: a lot of people is sticking point for him to

392
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 3: go to Alabama over Tennessee. But he's waited his turn

393
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 3: to get the opportunity. He has helped get them to

394
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 3: this point. You know, it's a team effort, a team game.

395
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 3: No one individual player is going to will you to

396
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 3: a win. As you've said many times, correctly fits. But

397
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 3: I would hate for him to. I would hate for

398
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 3: this to be the way that ty Simpson's season ends

399
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,959
Speaker 3: as an Alabama wide receiver takes a pretty gnarly hit

400
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 3: on an incomplete pass.

401
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 2: Oh and part of what we don't know depending on

402
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 2: how this game ends up playing out. If this is

403
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 2: the end and Alabama is able to put three on

404
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 2: the board, so now it's twenty four to three. If

405
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 2: this is the way the Alabama a season ends, what

406
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 2: we don't know is is this the way that ty

407
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 2: Simpson's college football career is right, Because there are certainly

408
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 2: plenty of people that think that ty Simpson could, should,

409
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 2: or would declare for the NFL Draft, in which case

410
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,959
Speaker 2: most people believe he would be a first round selection

411
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 2: of some sort so you know, is this in Alabama

412
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 2: certainly has never had a hard time and Kaylyn do

413
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 2: bores never had a hard time finding quarterbacks. They have

414
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 2: some recruits that they really like. They've got some players

415
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 2: in the kitty that they really like. It's not a

416
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 2: situation where everything's suddenly you know, desperate for Alabama. This

417
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 2: isn't that. It's just boy, wohen you're Ty Simpson. I

418
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,719
Speaker 2: don't think this is how you envisioned your career in

419
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 2: college coming to a close. It's just part of what

420
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 2: the inevitability of the college football playoff is, right Like,

421
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 2: So when I see him go out, my first thought is, man,

422
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 2: is this the last that we've seen at Ty Simpson

423
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: in college football? Or Ty Simpson at Alabama? You know,

424
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 2: there's so many options now for guys. They're going to

425
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 2: look at their draft status. Then they're going to figure

426
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 2: out how much they could make in the portal if

427
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 2: they went somewhere or do they stay where they are

428
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 2: right So it's just a million different variables that they'll

429
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 2: have to figure out. Indiana is going to need to

430
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 2: respond here though, I also think it's fair to say, hey,

431
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 2: you know, the backup quarterback comes in Austin Mack comes in,

432
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 2: drives you down the field, gets you three points. Now,

433
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, there's just a little taste of

434
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 2: momentum that's headed towards Alabama. It's still a three score game,

435
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 2: still a three touchdown lead that you have. I don't

436
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 2: think this guy's falling in this situation, but you do

437
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 2: want to see sort of what Indiana is capable of doing.

438
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 2: And again, I think that's just going to come from

439
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 2: how much time has been spent on the field for

440
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 2: this Alabama defense trying to slow Indiana's offense down. So

441
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 2: certainly with a quarter to play, feel pretty good. It

442
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 2: is wild. I never, I guess maybe never is the

443
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 2: wrong thing. But I think if you'd have told me

444
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 2: coming into the season that it looks like as we

445
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 2: stand right now, the final four in the College Football

446
00:20:55,400 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: playoff would be two Big ten teams Oregon and Indiana

447
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 2: CC team and in Miami that we didn't even think

448
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 2: was gonna make the playoffs, and then one SEC team,

449
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 2: the winner of Georgia and Ole Miss like the SEC team,

450
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: not the SEC champion, but like one SEC team making

451
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 2: into this. It just it all feels so, it all

452
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 2: feels so disjointed this year. It's just this is a

453
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 2: beautiful thing. Buck.

454
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 3: Don't the chaos. This is your whole the entire time.

455
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 3: Let it burn, baby, No, I'm in.

456
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 2: The only thing you can make it better is if

457
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,479
Speaker 2: we could get no SEC teams in the final four,

458
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 2: just to watch everybody lose their mind, or no Big Ten.

459
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 2: I don't care. I just want one or two of

460
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 2: the I'm I'm a big believer that Big Ten. Whenever

461
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 2: the Big Ten and the SEC have their argument, my

462
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 2: conference is better. That is the grown up equivalent of

463
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 2: my dad can beat up your dad. You're never actually

464
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 2: gonna fight. It's never really gonna be proven. Like I

465
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 2: think if we could just go back to elementary school

466
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 2: and say, great, if you ever tell somebody that my

467
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 2: dad can beat up your dad, they now to get

468
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 2: in an octagon and have a full UFC fight. Like now,

469
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 2: I'm man like, there's just no way to ever really

470
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 2: prove which conference is better. Everybody finds the metrics and

471
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 2: the stats that they like, so whichever result creates tolechaos.

472
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 2: I want Martin, get us caught up on the scoreboard.

473
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 2: What else is going on? Tell us all the everything

474
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 2: that happening is right now across the landscape.

475
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 7: Often Mack in the game at quarterback for Alabama. After

476
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 7: ty Simpson took a shot, he got his hand stepped

477
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 7: on and apparently is not being able to play a little.

478
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 7: The timeline I tell you that ty Simms was being

479
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 7: bench poor play. I don't necessarily buy that because Alabama

480
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 7: has had nothing offensively in this Rolls Bowl so far.

481
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 7: It's twenty four to three Indiana over Alabama right now

482
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 7: with two forty five left in the third quarter. Fernando

483
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 7: Mendoza one hundred and twenty three yards through the air,

484
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 7: one thirty five on the ground.

485
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 8: For the Hoosier team.

486
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 7: Quick math, I'd like less than one hundred and sixty

487
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 7: yards for Alabama offensively throughout this un again, two forty

488
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 7: five left in the third quarter and Nanda Mendoza and

489
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 7: Indiana with a first and ten handoff. Earlier in college football,

490
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 7: he saw Oregon advanced twenty three to nothing over Texas

491
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 7: Tech and the Orange Bowl, Oregon defense shutting down that

492
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 7: Texas Tech offense. Miami beat Ohio State and the Cotton

493
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 7: Bowl twenty four to fourteen. Miami in the final four

494
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 7: of Oregon as well. The winner of this will go there,

495
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 7: and then the winner of Ole Miss and Georgia will

496
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 7: meet them in the Final four for the final spot.

497
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 8: They play in the Sugar Bowl later tonight.

498
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 7: Lamar Jackson is expected to start with the Ravens on

499
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 7: Sunday against the Steelers.

500
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 8: He has a back injury. Saints wide receiver Chris.

501
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 7: Olave out for the finale for the season, will do

502
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 7: a blood clots. Jordan Love clear concussion protocol. He's gonna

503
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 7: sit though, until the playoffs start. For the Packers have

504
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 7: already locked up their postseason position. Not the same situation

505
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 7: for Tampa Bay, who needs to win to get in,

506
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 7: but they won't have cornerback Jamel Dean or a linebacker

507
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 7: Anthony Nelson against the Panthers and Packers. Echos Matt Lafleur

508
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 7: said former Dallas cornerback Trayvon Diggs could.

509
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 8: Be in the lineup for Green Bay against the Vikings.

510
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 7: Diggs claimed off after the Cowboys released him last week

511
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 7: third and eight for Indiana. Maybe there's some of this

512
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 7: momentum you were talking about fits is coming true for

513
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 7: this Crimson tide, or maybe just poking in Buck's side

514
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 7: back to you, guys, don't.

515
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 2: Forget new year. Your new success can begin sooner than

516
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 2: you think. University of Maryland Global Campus, Undergraduate and most

517

Speaker 2: nowt no application fee. Learn more at UMGC dot edu.

519
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 2: Just when Alabama looked like they had them, they don't

520
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 2: have them anymore. Indiana converts for a big first down buck.

521
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: We were talking earlier about Lamar is gonna play and

522
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 2: what it means for the Ravens and the Steelers moving forward.

523
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 2: But there is one reason why I look at this year,

524
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 2: particularly with the Ravens, and I just I hate one

525
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 2: thing about the result that we're likely to see. I

526
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 2: think we can both agree that it right now, it

527
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 2: would be a surprise if the Ravens won the Super Bowl. Unfortunately,

528
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 2: we talk so much about super Bowls and championship and legacies.

529
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 2: All I keep thinking about with Lamar coming back in

530
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 2: is the opportunity lost because there's no Chiefs in the

531
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 2: playoffs this year. Everything went to hell in a hand

532
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 2: basket for Kansas City, which is fine, that's fine, right,

533
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 2: But so much of my conversation about when we talk

534
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: about championships has ben Hey, you have to acknowledge who

535
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 2: else is in the league at the time. So, yeah,

536
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 2: Josh Allen doesn't have a championship, Lamar Jackson doesn't have

537
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 2: a championship. Okay, well of course they don't. They're taking

538
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 2: on the best head coach, with the best quarterback of

539
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 2: his generation, with the best defensive coordinator right now, like

540
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 2: all of these things that wants on a Chiefs team

541
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 2: that just keeps winning Super Bowl after Super Bowl, they're

542
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 2: hogging all the championships. They're hogging all the Super Bowl appearances.

543
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 2: One thing that really stands out to me though about

544
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 2: opportunity lost for the Ravens if they're not able to

545
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 2: get into the playoffs, if they're not able to go

546
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 2: on a run, is this was one of those years

547
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: where the window is open. I mean for the Josh's

548
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 2: and Lamars that simply don't get a lot of shots

549
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 2: at championships because of the Mahomes. You got to take

550
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 2: advantage of the window when it's even cracked open. It's

551
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 2: wild to me to think that right now Vegas thinks

552
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 2: there's a better chance that Drake may is gonna go

553
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 2: home with the Super Bowl ring than any of these

554
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 2: quarterbacks that we constantly talk about as MVPs that need

555
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 2: these sort of moments because that will avenge in twenty years.

556
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 2: It'll be part of the context of how we look

557
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 2: at this era of quarterback.

558
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 4: Man. Well, can I pivot the conversation real quick? Just

559
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 4: based off the Drake May thing.

560
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 3: Not that I'm not interested in what you just asked me,

561
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,239
Speaker 3: but I wonder what you make of the Drake May

562
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 3: Matt Stafford thing, because Matt Stafford played that game on

563
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 3: what was that Monday night football against the Falcons and

564
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 3: the Ram loss.

565
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 4: Rams lost. He threw three interceptions.

566
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 3: You and I have talked about this at some point,

567
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 3: I'm sure in the Overnight show that we did the

568
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 3: other night for Jason Smith and Mike Carmon. But is

569
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 3: there a scenario in which Drake May is just has

570
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 3: Drake May really earned MVP consideration, like truly and honestly

571
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 3: earned MVP consideration, Because I saw last year Lamar Jackson

572
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 3: earn real MVP consideration and still lose it. Anyway, It's

573
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 3: the best season of Laura Jackson's career and he lost

574
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 3: the MVP after having two MVP awards where he had

575
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 3: played football at a lesser level. Drake May is fine,

576
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 3: Drake May has been I mean, he was dominated against

577
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 3: the Jets in the last time that we saw him.

578
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 4: So I'm not and listen.

579
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 3: Like, you go out there and you beat whoever's ass

580
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 3: you want to you that's across from you, and that's

581
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 3: all you can do at that point in time. I'm

582
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 3: not down on Drake May by any stretch of the imagination.

583
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 3: I just think it's so bizarre that, like one sample

584
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 3: size of Matt Stafford throwing three interceptions late in the season,

585
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 3: when the Rams are still probably the best team in

586
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 3: football top to bottom, would just completely crater Matt's I

587
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 3: mean not completely crater, but like completely put him so

588
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 3: far behind Drake May, who, as you mentioned earlier in

589
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 3: the show, has a record the same record as Jackson

590
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 3: Dart against teams with a winning record so far this season,

591
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 3: and the Patriots have i think, the easiest schedule in

592
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 3: the NFL.

593
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,959
Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken, I'm gonna oversimplify my answer to

594
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 2: your question because I get answered. I get asked all

595
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 2: the time. You know about Hall of Fame status for guys.

596
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 2: Is this guy a Hall of Famer? It's a it's

597
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 2: a common barbershop conversation. My answer to that is really

598
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,239
Speaker 2: almost never about stats, because stats from every error are

599
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 2: so difficult to digest.

600
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 4: Right.

601
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 2: My answer to that question more often than not is

602
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 2: when the schedule comes out and you're a fan of

603
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 2: a team and you look at the schedule for years,

604
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: if you open up the schedule and you're like, man,

605
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 2: what was the thing you said? God, we gotta take

606
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 2: on Brady, God, we gotta take on Peyton. Part of

607
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 2: the reason that I've never really felt like for me,

608
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 2: Eli isn't really what I think of as a Hall

609
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 2: of Famer, even though he has some big accomplishments in

610
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 2: his career, is I don't remember everybody, anybody ever starting

611
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 2: the year saying, oh damn, man, we gotta take on

612
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 2: Eli this year. God, I don't know how we're gonna

613
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 2: beat Like I grew up saying, oh my god, I

614
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 2: don't know how you're gonna beat l Way. Right now,

615
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 2: I constantly look around and say, oh, mahomes, how am

616
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 2: I to beat my homes? And frankly, I just don't

617
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 2: think that that is the mind. Most of us are

618
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 2: not looking at this playoff run that's about to happen

619
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 2: and saying, oh my god, how are you gonna take

620
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: down Drake? Like how is that going to be possible.

621
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 2: I think part of the reason that more fans and

622
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 2: more people that watch are scared of Josh Allen. Like,

623
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 2: Josh Allen and the Bills have not had a better

624
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 2: year than the New England Patriots, and they both played

625
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 2: soft schedules. That's fine, but I've seen moment after moment

626
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 2: after moment where it's like the Bills just rolled the

627
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: ball out and said, Josh Allen, go do something, and

628
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 2: then he's forced to be Superman and do fifty two

629
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 2: things that you just can't even figure out how to stop.

630
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden you end up in

631
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 2: this situation where you're like, oh, that's Josh Allen for you.

632
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 2: Drake May's had some nice plays. I just don't Drake

633
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 2: May doesn't sit there. I don't sit up all week saying,

634
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 2: oh my god, we have to play Drake May this week.

635
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 2: Like that's some my mindset around it.

636
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 3: I just want to see him really tested, Like I guess,

637
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 3: I guess it's one of those things where maybe he's

638
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 3: capable of that because he's obviously a plus athlete and

639
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 3: he's got a great harm and he's elevating the team

640
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 3: around him. And Josh McDaniels has obviously done a great

641
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 3: deal of good for him as Indiana breaks a long

642
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 3: one touchdown. Dead buried, gone backup quarterback, starting quarterback, Alliot,

643
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 3: take your bomb asses back to Alabama. Oh that feels

644
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 3: so good. That was outstanding. It is now thirty to three,

645
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 3: pending the extra point with fourteen twenty one to play

646
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter of the Rose Bowl.

647
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. Back to your regularly pro that is, you.

648
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 2: Were asking for Drake may to be tested, and then

649
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 2: we watched Alabama get buried. I think that there's like

650
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 2: both are fair, so would I guess for me, there's

651
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 2: just no no one moment that If I was making

652
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 2: a storyboard of the Patriots season and somebody turned around

653
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 2: and said, ooh, put all the NBP Drake Maye moments

654
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 2: up there, I don't know. I struggle to find some

655
00:30:58,480 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: of them.

656
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 4: Mmmmm, Drake May's MVP moment.

657
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 2: I mean we always talk about the Heisman moment, right,

658
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 2: like what.

659
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 3: Is No, we don't really do MVP that way, although

660
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 3: Stafford just had a moment that cost him apparently the MVP.

661
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, if one bad game can take you out of it,

662
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 2: then give me the great game with everything on the line,

663
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 2: where it was just, oh my god, got to have

664
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 2: it where Drake May And the answer to this is

665
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 2: probably the Bills game and.

666
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 3: Yeah at Buffalo, I mean just just top to bottom

667
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 3: at Buffalo.

668
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: And all of this sounds like I'm a Drake mayhater,

669
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 2: Like I'm not a Drake mayhyter. I think Drake may

670
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 2: is developing into one of the great young quarterbacks in

671
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 2: the NFL. I think that's really fair to say. I

672
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 2: also think, just like you and I've talked about people,

673
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 2: how when we get into these playoffs, it's all gonna

674
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 2: be about what Josh Allen hasn't accomplished in the playoffs

675
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 2: with the Bills haven't done in the playoffs. When the

676
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 2: when Lamar gets on the field, it's going to be,

677
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 2: oh my god, if the Ravens make the playoffs, oh

678
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 2: my god, Lamar's got to show something because you know,

679
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 2: we haven't seen Lamar do in the playoffs. What the

680
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 2: hell have we seen from Drake Maya? What in the

681
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 2: hell have we seen from Drake May in the playoffs

682
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 2: to give any indication if we're going to see here

683
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 2: and chied everybody else for their playoff results, I just

684
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 2: want that to keep that same energy for Drake.

685
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying.

686
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 3: I think it's fair, and I listen, I'm not The

687
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 3: Patriots have been in the news this week for reasons

688
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 3: that are beyond Drake May and MVP voting and things

689
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 3: like that. But I don't want to discount what the

690
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 3: Patriots are doing, what that staff and what that roster

691
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 3: have contributed to do for an organization that hasn't, you know,

692
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 3: hasn't had a lack of success by any stretch of

693
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 3: the imagination, though they've been on harder times by their

694
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 3: own standards here lately, it is deeply impressive. I don't

695
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 3: care what your caliber of competition is. What did their

696
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 3: streak end at before they lost to the Bills ten.

697
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 4: In a row? They won ten straight games in the NFL.

698
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 3: Ye, that's difficult no matter who you're playing at the

699
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 3: professional level. So it is if you wanted to say, honestly, Fitzy,

700
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 3: I might argue that if you wanted to argue Drake

701
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 3: May's MVP moment, it's ten consecutive wins as an NFL

702
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 3: starting quarterback for a team that won what three games

703
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 3: last year?

704
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 4: Did the Patriots? Yeah?

705
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 2: But it's also a team the Vegas thought was gonna

706
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 2: win ten. Like the Vegas over under total coming into

707
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 2: the season was double digits. So like Vegas crazy.

708
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 4: That was insane, but I mean Vegas smarter than us.

709
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 2: Vegas looked around and said, oh, this schedule is really bad.

710
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 2: They're gonna win a bunch of games. Like I mean,

711
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 2: so they are who they thought we thought they were. Like,

712
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm torn on all of this because

713
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 2: so often the head coach of the Year, the MVP,

714
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 2: it all comes from the story that we didn't expect.

715
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 2: And like, I get it, and I get that we're

716
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 2: always in love with shiny new toys. I just at

717
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 2: times think that we could simplify all of it and

718
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 2: just look for you know, I don't know who's the

719
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 2: player that if you tell the story of this season,

720
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 2: who's the player that had the most moments that you

721
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 2: just absolutely have to have to tell that story, the

722
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 2: story of the game. The day Indiana is kicking the

723
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 2: snot at Obama thirty one to three. That is a score.

724
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 2: Now the fourth quarter has just started. Will keep you

725
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,720

Speaker 2: it never works out. Lead give us some questions, we'll

772
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 2: figure out what we'd rather While Indiana continues to drive

773
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 2: down the field.

774
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,640

Speaker 9: New Year's edition of would you rather?

779
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 1: How about this?

780
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 9: Would you rather be forced to live up to your

781
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 9: New Year's resolution every single year?

782
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:29,959
Speaker 1: Or never live up to it every single year?

783
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 2: I'm forced to live up to it. I'm not a

784
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 2: big resolution guy. I'm a big like man. If you're

785

Speaker 2: ready to make change in your life, make some change

786
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 2: and then, like I'm a big discipline and accountability person.

787
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 2: You say you're gonna do it, just damn do it.

788
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, like hold me accountable to it all year long. Like,

789
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 2: if you can't make a resolution to stick to it,

790
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 2: then you got to look in the mirror figure this

791
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 2: thing out. Like it just we need to demand better

792

Speaker 4: give up soda for for you.

799
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,720
Speaker 3: Know, the entirety of twenty twenty minute, except for FITZI

800
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 3: who's working very, very dilicently to accomplish the things that

801
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 3: he wants to physically, mentally, emotionally.

802
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 4: All these things mean I'm good on the resolutions. I

803
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 4: don't want to change. I'm very happy.

804
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,399
Speaker 2: My only resolution is to be bigspoon with Buck once

805
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 2: this year. Okay, what do you got for us?

806
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 4: Actually?

807
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 9: Well, I think I know what Buck's gonna answer here,

808
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 9: especially in a few seconds. Would you rather attend the

809
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 9: national championship in Miami or the school in Santa Clara?

810
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: That's right there? Oh, there's that delay kicking it?

811
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

812
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 1: Why am I so far behind? I don't know, Man,

813
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: you're pretty far.

814
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 2: It was waiting for whole show is waiting for you?

815
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 2: Thirty eight three now thirty eight to three, Indiana? So

816
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 2: would you rather the championship game for a Super Bowl?

817
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 8: Buck?

818
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 4: Oh?

819
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 3: I mean this is a bad question for me because

820
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 3: I've I've been to Super Bowls and I've never been

821
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 3: to a college football national championship game. So I would

822
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 3: pick the national championship no matter who was playing it.

823
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 3: I just think college football the better atmosphere, no matter

824
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 3: what you're talking about. Maybe you know we've seen some

825
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 3: you know, some lackluster participation or attendance at you know,

826
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,919
Speaker 3: Cotton Bowl or Orange Bowl or things like that. I'd

827
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 3: rather be the college Football National Championship.

828
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, for many.

829
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 4: Fine, sanitary you know, that's whatever.

830
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 2: I've been lucky enough in my career to be at

831
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,919
Speaker 2: bolth and for many years, my tradition on the College

832
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 2: Football Championship game every year on that Monday game was

833
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 2: just to walk on the field and you know, pick

834
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 2: up some grass like I just think it's one of

835
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,359
Speaker 2: the coolest things in the world. So I don't think

836
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 2: there's anything better than the college Football National Championship game

837
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 2: in person because of the way the fans are as

838
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,959
Speaker 2: opposed to the Super Bowl, where certainly it's amazing because

839
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 2: you're at the super Bowl, but it's it's I think

840
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 2: it's way more connective. It's a college football championship.

841
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 8: Lee.

842
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 2: What's that, guys?

843
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 9: I don't think we really talked about what we did

844
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 9: last night for the for the New Year's But would

845
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 9: you rather be stuck at home with no internet or

846
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 9: television New Year's Eve night?

847
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: Or would you rather be stuck at Times Square all day?

848
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 4: No no, at home with no internet.

849
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 3: I would rather be just it's fine to be disconnected

850
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 3: from the entire world on New Year's Eve. In fact,

851
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 3: you're probably enjoying yourself. You are disconnected from the entire

852
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 3: world on New Year's even, stuck at home. That's completely

853
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 3: fine with me. Have either of you, of anybody within

854
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 3: the sound of my horse ever done the Time Square thing?

855
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 2: It's awful, awful and I never would not go ahead, Lisa, No,

856
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:14,879
Speaker 2: I never would.

857
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 9: I mean, I have the privilege of having the opportunity

858
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 9: to go to the Rose Bowl.

859
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even do that. But yeah, definitely not Time

860
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:21,240
Speaker 1: to Square.

861
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 2: We played Dick Clok's Rock and New Year's Eve, but

862
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 2: we played the West Coast version of the West Coast

863
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 2: stage on it, so I didn't have to do the

864
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 2: actual ball drop in New York. Yeah, there's no way.

865
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 2: There's no way. I'm not wearing a diaper to anything.

866
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 2: I'm just not going to do it. So that I

867
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 2: do think though, that's gonna be my fantasy football punishment

868
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 2: next year for whoever finishes last in the league. It's

869
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 2: gonna have to go do the whole thing, superfan it like,

870
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 2: get there at noon, superpan it the diaper, all all

871
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 2: on video lead get us one more?

872
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 9: Would you rather live this past year over again or

873
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:53,280
Speaker 9: skip ahead ten years.

874
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 3: Oh, I had a really good year. I wouldn't mind

875
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 3: reliving this past year over again. I don't know what's

876
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 3: happened in the future, but I know that I had

877
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 3: a great time in toy Set.

878
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 2: On the podcast you know What. So it's interesting because

879
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 2: I wouldn't mind another shot in the year. I think

880
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 2: there's a lot you can do when you know what's coming.

881
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 2: But I actually the answer that's pretty clear. I want

882
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 2: to take as many edibles as possible and wake up

883
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 2: ten years from now and then just try and figure

884
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 2: it out. That to me sounds like the ultimate New

885
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 2: Year's adventure. Like I said, we will be back here

886
