1
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: Everybody tells you about Saturday Night and Death Valley. What

2
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: they don't tell you about is five fifteen am Life

3
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: Style bat both in the past twenty four hours. Here

4
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: we are jam packed hi at top a somewhat rainy

5
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: downtown Nashville, Tennessee, on the Sunday night, November tenth, the

6
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: Year of Our Lord twenty twenty four. We got Academy

7
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: Sports and Outdoors as the wind in our sales, presenting

8
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: the entire show to you tonight. Yes, friends, I was

9
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: on the sideline last night, and believe it or not,

10
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: I was one of the only people left in the

11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: building by the time Alabama and LSU wrapped up. I

12
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: watched Georgia and Ole miss from the comforts of the

13
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: Tiger Stadium press box earlier in the day. Oh, I

14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: got so much to say about both of these games.

15
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: I know you do as well, because I've looked at

16
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: my inbox all day. I got full reactions to Week eleven.

17
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,959
Speaker 1: The ap is out some of it, I'm okay with

18
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: other parts I will take great issue with. We'll compare

19
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: it to the JP pole. We have got college football

20
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: playoff chaos scenarios that are starting to unfold and listen,

21
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the eye, Josh. Here it says it's

22
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: November tenth. All right. I know everyone says, let's just

23
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: let this stuff work itself out. Well, it's in the

24
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: process of happening. I'm not sure it's all gonna work

25
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: itself out. So we will discuss tonight. Mike Norvel just

26
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: decided to get an early head start on twenty twenty five.

27
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: He fired like half his staff earlier this afternoon, so

28
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it all. We'll pop open an ice

29
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: cold ZBA cream Soda flavor and tell you that they're

30
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: watching us in Mobile, Alabama, A story of Oregon. Where

31
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: else are they watching us? Gulf Breeze, Florida is tuned

32
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: in tonight. We appreciate you guys. They're watching us in

33
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: Dana Point, California. What a night. I'm gonna tell you

34
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: all about it later. I'm gonna I'm gonna take a

35
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: sip of this and then we're gonna get to work.

36
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: Cream Soda still solidly high a top the Zvia Flavor

37
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: power ratings. So I know everyone had thoughts about this game,

38
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: but now that we've watched it, let's just dive in. Colin.

39
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: Here's a good end point for you here. Actually, let

40
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: me pull something up right quick, all right. So, for

41
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: some reason I convinced myself I was leading with that game.

42
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: Here's another thing that I want to talk to you about,

43
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: and we'll get to Alabama LSU in a second. I

44
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: think Old Miss was the story of the day. Old

45
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: Miss beat Georgia. Ole Miss beat Georgia in a game

46
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: where we thought the wrong team was favored. We talked

47
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: about this a whole lot going into last week. We

48
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: took a fair amount of criticism for it. I scanned

49
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: the Georgia boards, I saw the slander that was being

50
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: hurled our way, and you know what, Hey, to the

51
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: discredit of our Old Miss brethren, you didn't exactly have

52
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: our back lane Kiffin did, though. The Old Miss football

53
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: team did. Though. This was a three chali game on

54
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: a one to five scale, pretty entertaining, really entertaining if

55
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: you were Old Miss, and I think somewhat jarring to

56
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: the senses of a general sort of more casual college

57
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: football fan. The wrong team was favored in the game.

58
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: The model thought it. I thought it. I thought it

59
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: was a horrible matchup for Georgia. Didn't trust the team

60
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: going in and look Ole Miss. As much as they

61
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: got Skull Drugg in this game last year, all it

62
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: did was motivate them to build a team that was

63
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: the antithesis of last year. And you kind of saw

64
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: it on display. How much did Lane Kiffin overhaul Old

65
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: Miss between last year's fifty two to seventeen beat down

66
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: and this year, Well, I'll tell you how much this

67
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: game started horrifically for Old Miss and they still won comfortably.

68
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: I just want you to visualize it now. If we're

69
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: talking Friday afternoon, you and I get off work early

70
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: and we go get some lunch, and we're just kind

71
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: of talking through the Old Miss Georgia game. Man rebels

72
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: two and a half point dog at home. Huh hmm. Interesting.

73
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: And then I rubbed the magic eight ball and I say,

74
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: I've seen the spoilers. I know how this game starts.

75
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: And I tell you, Jackson Dart's gonna get pressured on

76
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: the first three plays. George is gonna get home with

77
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: a sack. They're going to force an interception. Dart's gonna

78
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: go to the locker room like he's out of the

79
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: game early. George is going to start in plus territory,

80
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna convert on fourth down and fourth and goal,

81
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: and they're gonna get a touchdown. They're gonna go up seven. Oh,

82
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna insert a freshman quarterback. And it's

83
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: rainy and it's nasty. And that same Georgia defense that

84
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: went on the road and handled Texas in Austin is

85
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: the one across from you. And what do you do? Well,

86
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: what you do is you go on a twenty eight

87
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: to three run the rest of the way. Aren't many

88
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: teams that can do that. Ole Miss is one of them.

89
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: Ole Miss has been mischaracterized after that LSU loss. They've

90
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: been misunderstood, and I will I will tell you now

91
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: they're still being misunderstood. It's what a backbone game for

92
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: ole Miss could have been a back breaker game. It

93
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: was a backbone game for ole Miss. And you know

94
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: what I just said, and I'm gonna say again, and

95
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: I'll probably reiterate it at least once more in the

96
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: next couple of minutes. People still don't know what this

97
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: team is. I still don't think most of America has

98
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: the slightest idea what the ceiling is. You look at

99
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: Old Miss and you think Lane Kiffin always good for

100
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: a tweet every now and then that old Miss offense.

101
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: They can put up some fireworks every now and then.

102
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: They're a good story, you know, old Miss, good solid

103
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: story and it maybe they'll mess around and be in

104
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: it at the end. Well, if that's the way you

105
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: see Ole Miss, you and I see Ole Miss differently.

106
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: And I'm a noted old Miss hater. Remember the Internet

107
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: has labeled me long ago as an old Miss hater.

108
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: So if even I documented old miss hater am telling

109
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: you that, and then it must be true. Dripping with

110
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: sarcism there, But first, let's just discuss Georgia. Everyone wants

111
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: to know what's wrong with Georgia. Josh, what's happening with Georgia?

112
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: Georgia has no answers. Offensively, that's a problem. I guess

113
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: that's what's wrong with him. Georgia is basically Rick Vaughn

114
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: and Major League two. Rick Vaughn in Major League one

115
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: could bring the heat. He'd hit one hundred on the gun.

116
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: You had no clue where the ball was going. He

117
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: had the skull and crossbones in the middle of his

118
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: glasses and he was the best, best closer in the game.

119
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: And then Major League two rolls around and he tops

120
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: out at eighty seven, and Parkman takes him deep all

121
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: over the place, and he's got pitches named after all

122
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: sorts of different things. But there's really no answer. He

123
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: has no answer. He's got to reinvent himself or in

124
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: that case, refined himself. And boy, you hope Georgia can

125
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: do that. But they're running out of time. They drop

126
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: the ball too much. Their offensive lines been banged up.

127
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: But their offensive line's been bad, been bad by normal standards,

128
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: been horrifically bad by Georgia's standards. Carson Beck is not

129
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: a strength for this team, which he absolutely should be,

130
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: and he's he's just not. They cannot run it yesterday.

131
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: Even when I adjust the sack yardage out, they still

132
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: only ran for three yards per carry. But after you

133
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: say all that, you got to understand, these are not

134
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: coaches that go work at the lumberyard, get off at

135
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: four forty five and rush over to practice. It's not

136
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: a hobby of theirs. It's not something they do for

137
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: the rec department. On the side. These guys get paid

138
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: a lot of money. And when I say that, all

139
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: I'm saying that to indicate is you've got to find answers.

140
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: You got to do it because you know good and well.

141
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: You turn on your TV every Saturday, you guys, if

142
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: you're at Georgia, you go into a bye week. You know,

143
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: if you're honest with yourself, you turn on the TV.

144
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: You flip through the channels ESPN, CBS, NBCFS ONE, whatever, peacock,

145
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: and you see a team that's less talented than you,

146
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: and that staff is finding ways to scheme. Guys open

147
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: and they're finding ways through design, through scheme, through proper

148
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: utilization of the personnel. They do have to grind out

149
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: twenty six points on a given Saturday and then hopefully

150
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: it'll be enough. And then you're sitting there and you

151
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: are Georgia and you can't get it done. And sometimes

152
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: it's a consequence of success because you've gotten so used

153
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: to everything going your way and things fall and the

154
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: mechanisms operate properly, and so when they don't, you know,

155
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: when they don't, you got to lift the hood. Sometimes

156
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: you don't have as much grease under your fingernails as

157
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: some of these other guys on other staffs around the country.

158
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: And that's not uncommon, that's not a problem that's unique

159
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: to Georgia. You see that sometimes you watch when you've

160
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: got a bunch of four and five star talent, for example,

161
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: and it looks like you can't get out of your

162
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: own way offensively. And then you'll turn on a mat

163
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: game on Tuesday night and I mean, these guys look

164
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: like they're coming from the circus calling plays or as

165
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: the message board community would would label it, imaginative play calling.

166
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: Never understood what that means. We need to be more

167
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: imaginative in our play calling. Well, if that's what it takes,

168
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: that's what it takes. But you gotta find something that works.

169
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: George is sitting here and still has everything in front

170
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: of them. There's no doubt they went out. They're going

171
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: to the college football Playoff. Whether they'll be in Atlanta

172
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 1: or not, I don't know. There's no doubt about that.

173
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: They got Tennessee coming into town Saturday. Just point blank.

174
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: It is a gut game. It's a gut check moment

175
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: for them this Saturday. They gotta win, and you play

176
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: complimentary to do it, then so be it. If Carson

177
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: Beck needs to step up and not throw the ball

178
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: to the other team or put the ball on the

179
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: ground or your tailbacks need to do the same thing.

180
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: You got to do that, and your coaching staff's got

181
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: to put guys in proper position. Everybody knows this. They

182
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: know this. It's not like anyone watches this show and says, well,

183
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: we never thought of that. Wow, it's just doing it.

184
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: It's not knowing it, it's doing it. But back to

185
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: Old Miss for a second. Most of you probably watched

186
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: this game unless you were going to another game yesterday.

187
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: People watch this Old Miss team, and even after seeing

188
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: Old Miss do this to Georgia, I still get the

189
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: distinct impression and people have no clue what this Old

190
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: Miss team is. I've listened to some folks. I've listened

191
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: to some of my friends refer to this Old Miss

192
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: team as this cute story and all they got up

193
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 1: off the deck after that the LSU lost and they

194
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: found a way to beat Georgia. That's great. And I

195
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: had one of my buddies say earlier today, I could

196
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: see Old Miss winning a playoff game. I could see

197
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: him winning the national championship. So I'm with you. And

198
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: then some why do people doubt this? Do you think

199
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: it's a chaotic year or not? Do you think it's

200
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: been a very parody driven twenty twenty four or not,

201
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: because if you believe that, then a flawed team could

202
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: end up on top of this whole thing. I just

203
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: ask you, what are you looking at when you see

204
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: old miss like you look at him as they're a

205
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: cute story and ooh, maybe they could be a fun

206
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: wild card and win a game. When they get in

207
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: the playoff, they can win the national title. And I'll

208
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: tell you why. Because they've got a mobile threat and

209
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: a dynamic quarterback who's got experience and he's played in

210
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: the same system for a number of years. You got Assassin's,

211
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: a wide receiver who any given game could take over.

212
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: You got a tailback when healthy that you can depend on.

213
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: Really a couple of them. You may have the most

214
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: dynamic defensive front in America. Ask Kirby Smart about that,

215
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: because they had to deal with him yesterday. And they're very,

216
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: very plus on special teams, which won't get talked about

217
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: as much, but a lot of folks, if you believe

218
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: in three phases a football, you need to pay attention

219
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: to that off forgotten third phase. Smart said yesterday after

220
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: the game that he felt collectively it was the most

221
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: talented team they've played all year, which is notable because

222
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: George has gone to Alabama and played this year, and

223
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: George's gone to Texas and played this year, and the

224
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: head coach of said team chose to label ole Miss

225
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: as collectively the most talented team they've played. This team

226
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: could win at all. They could miss the playoff, but

227
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: they could also win it all. They're plenty dynamic enough,

228
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: they're plenty talented enough. And I give them full credit because, man,

229
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: my biggest question coming out of that LSU game. They

230
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: went into the by remember this, they go into the

231
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: buy and the question to me was not how good

232
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: were they? I never dropped them out of my top

233
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: ten in Power ratings, but that didn't matter if they

234
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: mailed it in. Well they didn't. They didn't. Actually, what

235
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: it looks like they've done is they've rounded into form

236
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: of playing their best football. I mean that they led,

237
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: they didn't trail of the LSU game for one second,

238
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: but lost the game. And the Kentucky game earlier in

239
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: the year is just inexcusable. Can't lose that game. But again,

240
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: we are talking about a year where a bunch of

241
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: teams that are gonna be there in the end have

242
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: that kind of game, have that kind of loss on

243
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: their resume. So I give lang Kiffin full credit. I

244
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: give that staff full credit. Most importantly, you got to

245
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: give the players full credit because they kind of taken

246
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: ownership of that team. They could do some big things.

247
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: That's not a cute story. Penn State's the kind of

248
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: team that could get into the playoff and win a game,

249
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: but ultimately there's a ceiling on the team. There's not

250
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: a ceiling on Old mess I really encourage people to

251
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 1: go watch them. That is one of the most dangerous

252
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: teams in the country right now. And that's not a

253
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 1: guarantee of anything, and it's not even a prediction of anything.

254
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: It's just, man, if they get in there, I would

255
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: that's the one maybe I'd least like to play because

256
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: that's the one that's probably least predictable if they do

257
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: get in there. And by the way, we got a

258
00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: lot of people tuned in live. I know a lot

259
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: of people maybe watching this individual video. Do me a

Speaker 1: football all year and to help us do that, all

264

00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: none of that. It just helps us. So does Academy

268
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: Sports and Outdoors had a couple of grand openings this

269
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: past weekend. We sent several chalai of Supremacy out to

270
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: people who showed up down in Yulei, Florida, and up

271
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 1: in the Little Rock Market as well in Sarcey, Arkansas.

272
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors is the presenting partner of this show.

273
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: They've been with us virtually from the beginning. They've been

274
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: there for you before this show ever existed. I know

275
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 1: because I shopped there before I ever did a college

276
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: football show. If you can't get there in person, you

277
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: can go to Academy dot com. Still the same great selection.

278
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: But if you go in person, you get to walk

279
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,599
Speaker 1: in and you get to do the whole I'm in

280
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: a cade me. You just feel better about yourself, and

281
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: that part's free. They don't even charge you to go

282
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: in Big League chew in the checkout line and you

283
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 1: can grab a tent while you're there, you and grab

284
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: a baseball bat while you're there. It's great academy sports

285
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 1: and outdoors. We appreciate them. Boy oh boy, I hold

286
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: in my hand. Well, I got a box score. I've

287
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: got some thoughts, and I didn't think this is where

288
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: we were gonna be. Allow me to take a sip

289
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: of the cream soda zevia here, because we're gonna go down.

290
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna go down and exciting, but also a dark, morbid,

291
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: violent path. Here. You don't have to ear muff the kids.

292
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: We'll keep it clean, as clean as a forty two

293
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: to thirteen game can be in Death Valley on a

294
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: Saturday night. M Okay, here we go. Alabama, just wood

295
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: chippered LSU forty two to thirteen. I give it one

296
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: shallice on the one to five scale. I mean, this

297
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: was not this was not exactly an instant classic that

298
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: you'll show your kids generations from now. But if you

299
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: were an Alabama fan, man, that's five stars across the board.

300
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: I go into this game thinking this is a toss up.

301
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: This is a toss up. Maybe I even slightly lean

302
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: LSU because both run games have been enigmatic, and last

303
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: time I saw Bama on the road. It was Tennessee,

304
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: and they were shaken and they were rattled, and there

305
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: was no consistency. So I go in thinking it's going

306
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: to be a coin flip game. I walk out thinking

307
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: am I going to be deposed after what I just witnessed? Like?

308
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: Could this go to trial? Just assault us all caps assault.

309
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: I was in my hotel by midnight last night. Do

310
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: you understand how impossible that's supposed to be for a

311
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: night kickoff in Tiger Stadium, even if I'm staying in

312
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: Baton Rouge. If you're covering this game, you figure four

313
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: hour game, right, and so six thirty kickoff, you figure

314
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: ten thirty is the earliest it wraps up. And then

315
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: there's lightning forecast to be in the area, so you

316
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: think there could be a delay, and then you think

317
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: it's going to be a close game, so no one's

318
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: leaving early. And then afterwards you got to stick around

319
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: an hour and a half minimum, And so I go

320
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: to press conferences. I'll let the traffic die down, forget

321
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: all that this place was a ghost town. Midway through

322
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. We just strolled out and I don't

323
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: even think I hardly hit my Brakes go into the hotel.

324
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: I was there. I was in my hotel to watch

325
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of the Brigham Young Utah game last night,

326
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: which is just unfathomable. So in twenty twenty two, many

327
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: of you who live in Louisiana know Garth Brooks sold

328
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: Tiger Stadium out just an unbelievable spectacle. But unfortunately last night,

329
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: it was not Garth Brooks who chose to perform in

330
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: death Valley. Last night, the Sarah McLaughlin Special descended on

331
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: Tiger Stadium. Alabama out rushes LSU three eleven to one

332
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: oh four. Milroe had fifteen point four yards per carry

333
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position, three hundred and forty rush yards

334
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: in eight touch downs in his last two games against LSU.

335
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: That's good for ownership papers. That's what Diego Pabia did

336
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: to the state of Alabama. Milro's done it to LSU.

337
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: LSU minus three turnovers, it's still a chronic issue. BAMA

338
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: had twenty one points off those turnovers. And now the

339
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: SEC championship hopes kind of evaporate for LSU, the college

340
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: football playoff hopes kind of evaporate. And the most jarring

341
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: image that I don't know that I've ever seen to

342
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 1: this extreme degree Tiger Stadium just empty midway through the

343
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. I mean, you can hear people yelling on

344
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: the other side of the stadium, which normally happens long

345
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: after the game's over, but in this case, there's time

346
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 1: on the clock and it's just Hey, Jeff, Hey Josh,

347
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 1: he's across the buildings, across the way. Man. What an

348
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: identity game for Alabama. That's the only word I think.

349
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: Debor after the game said, we chose words to focus

350
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: on this week. Relentless I think was one of their words.

351
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: It was an identity for them. This is everything Alabama

352
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: is supposed to be, everything that if you've watched them

353
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: struggle at various times this year, you yelled at the

354
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: TV for them to lean into. They leaned into they

355
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: got to the stadium yesterday. I talked to a couple

356
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: of the coaches, talked to a couple of the support

357
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: staffers as they came in, and to their credit, they said,

358
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: I think we used this bye week very well. Think

359
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 1: we were honest with ourselves. We admitted what we are,

360
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: we admitted what we aren't, and for better or for worse,

361
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: tonight we're going to lean into what we think we

362
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,479
Speaker 1: are forty eight runs, eighteen passes, and that's not to

363
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: say they can't throw the ball, but what was going

364
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: to put them in the best position to win this game,

365
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: all due respect to Ryan Williams and those wideouts, was

366
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: not the passing game because what we saw A and

367
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: M do to LSU, as it turns out, Alabama was

368
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: even more equipped to do to LSU. Remember that third

369
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 1: down key we talked about. We've actually focused on this

370
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: a lot of the season with Alabama. Third and short

371
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: they're really good. They're top ten and converting that third

372
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: and long they are in like the one thirties nationally.

373
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: Last night they went ten to thirteen on third down.

374
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: Seven of those ten were third and five or less.

375
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 1: They stayed ahead of the chains. The longest one they

376
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: tried to convert was third and nine. They were never

377
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: way backed up, which is funny because the very first

378
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: play of the game was a false start, But after

379
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: that wasn't a huge issue. Penalties weren't a chronic issue.

380
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: Consistently being behind the chains was not a huge issue.

381
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: And it's wild what happens when you got the weapon

382
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: they've got at quarterback and you stay ahead of the

383
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 1: chains where running the ball is consistently an option and

384
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: it's actually something you lean on. It's just it's wild

385
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: how different that looks. And then you also consider, in

386
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: this complimentary game of ours, defense is quietly rounded into

387
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: form with them. LSU doesn't crack double digits to way

388
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: late in this game last night, and it's not one

389
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: of those impenetrable units that Nick Saban used to trot

390
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: out there in the early twenty teens. I wouldn't call

391
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: it ben but don't break. But they're just they play

392
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: a different style. But the grand scheme of things, like

393
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: the grand design of this is keep the team from

394
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: scoring on you, and more and more so they're keeping

395
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: teams from scoring on them. Now. They were dealt a

396
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: very heavy blow in this game. Matt Zenitch reporting just

397
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: a couple of hours ago, actually that ke Robinson is

398
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 1: out for the season with an upper extremity injury. And

399
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: that's tough. That's one of their best players on defense.

400
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 1: But so was Keon sab you know, and you saw

401
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: him go down with a broken foot earlier in the year.

402
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: And then you look at number eighteen back there and

403
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: he steps up and was one of their most important

404
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 1: players last night. Bray Hubbard is a guy who you

405
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: weren't looking at necessarily on the Alabama depth chart early

406
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: in the year. Is saying, that's a guy that's going

407
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: to be a difference maker. But he is, so now

408
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: someone else has to step up and be a difference

409
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: maker for LSU. This was as demoralized as it gets

410
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: in many, many different ways. I gotta tell you now,

411
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: I wish you guys could be there. I want you

412
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: to go back and watch the TV copy if you

413
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: were there, you know what I mean. If you could

414
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: be there, could if you could stand on the field

415
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: early in the game, Bama's first drive Tiger Stadium at

416
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: full throat, as loud as any place you could ever

417
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: be for a sporting event or otherwise. It sounds like

418
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: you're on a runway. It sounds like they are jet

419
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: engines all around you, and the fireworks that have gone

420
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: off in the pregame, the smoke is just hovering about

421
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 1: thirty yards above the field, which makes it look like

422
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: there's a ceiling on the top of the playing surface,

423
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: and it's raining fairly steadily. It is, without question, the nastiest,

424
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: most intimidating environment that you could ever be in. You

425
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: look at Alabama and you're just on the sideline. I'm

426
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: standing there thing and I can't imagine being a road

427
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: team playing in this. I can't even believe we can

428
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: create this kind of environment. This. This looks like a production.

429
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: It looks like there are actors, it looks like it's AI,

430
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 1: but it's not. It's real life. And then you just

431
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: completely deflate it because that's what running the ball consistently does.

432
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:22,959
Speaker 1: So Tiger Stadium was effective for a driver too, and

433
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: then largely it didn't get silenced immediately, but it got

434
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: neutralized because again, that's what running the football can do.

435
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: That's what playing defense can do on the road. And

436
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: then at the same time, you know what the backdrop

437
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: here is. The backdrop is you had a bunch of

438
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: problems against A and M. They cropped up again and Jesse,

439
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: I think we have this clip afterwards. Brian Kelly kind

440
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: of summed it up nicely, and Brian Kelly, Brian Kelly's

441
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: very good at understanding what the criticisms will be following

442
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 1: a game and just getting out in front of the

443
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: criticisms and making sure he says them before the fans

444
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: can yell them, let's roll it.

445
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 2: What did these guys do for two weeks? Like we

446
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 2: have a a scheme to stop the quarterback, we did

447
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 2: not get at done. So I take responsibility for it.

448
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 2: You know, Blake is not going to hide from the responsibility.

449
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 2: But but we also have to put our position players

450
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 2: in the right position too to take advantage of what

451
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 2: they're capable of doing. So we we own it together

452
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 2: and we've got to get it fixed, certainly because it's

453
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 2: it's uh, it's been a couple of weeks now, you know,

454
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 2: in two games. So I I respect the the the

455
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 2: inquiries and the questions because we we now go into

456
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 2: these last three games with the need to win all

457
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 2: three of these games and and and play better football

458
00:23:58,640 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 2: in the month of November.

459
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 1: It's not a one size fits all thing. When you

460
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: struggle on a side of the ball like they have defensively,

461
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: I really think they're two different or maybe three different

462
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 1: things in play here. So when you go back to

463
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: the A and M game and Marcel Reid tore them

464
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: up in the second half when he came in, it

465
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: was really popular for everyone to say, oh man, they

466
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 1: weren't prepared for that. I don't think the more I

467
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: went back and watching the game, I don't think it

468
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: was they weren't prepared for it. I think maybe what

469
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: you were looking at is Blake Baker as a defensive

470
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: coordinator and that defensive staff sort of calling a game

471
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 1: two aggressively, you know, basically trying to win the game

472
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: defensively when you probably don't have the personnel to try

473
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: and win a game defensively. Now you watch last night,

474
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: and it may very well be they didn't put guys

475
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,479
Speaker 1: in the best position. It could be a blend of that,

476
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: plus they didn't execute or it's guys. It still could

477
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: be they're ringing every last drop they can out of

478
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: this defense. But personnel can only come so far over

479
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: one cycle. That's not always excuse making when you say that.

480
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: Sometimes that's just reality. Like I still think LSU defensively,

481
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: I take this product ten times out of ten over

482
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: what I saw last year at same thing with USC.

483
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 1: There's only so much you can do over one year

484
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: to the next year. But LSU's still got a lot

485
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: to play for. And what they have is they have

486
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: Bryce Underwood committed right now. That's the entire backdrop. I

487
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: was down there Friday. They knew they had a big

488
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: recruiting weekend. But everything about LSU right now, in any

489
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: criticism of Brian Kelly, right now, everybody knows, in the

490
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: back of their mind we got Bryce Hunderwood coming in

491
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,239
Speaker 1: in this upcoming class. Some of you follow recruiting, some

492
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: of you don't. Underwood, there is no sure thing, but

493
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: he's very close to it. Monster, just a monster man

494
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: amongst boys in high school. And so everyone knows that's

495
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: the program. That is the future of this program. And

496
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: there is a lot of talk in the recruiting world

497
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 1: right now about Michigan getting involved there. I think he's

498
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: from Michigan, plays his high school ball in miss So

499
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: that that's the backdrop, that is the future of the

500
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: program this year is what it is. I thought LSU

501
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: was a very big wildcard team. Part of being a

502
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: wildcard team is you got just as much chance to

503
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 1: flop as you do to shine. They flopped last night.

504
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: Not a terrible season here if they finished strong. Nine

505
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: wins is not bad at all. But Alabama's in position

506
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: now to be one of a few teams that can

507
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: win at all, that have the upside to win it all.

508
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: I've seen. I think all of these teams in person

509
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: now the only one I hadn't been able to watch

510
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: in persons Old Miss. I'm sold on Old Miss. Anyway

511
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: I've seen Oregon, Oregon looks like the best team in

512
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: the country. To me, Texas has the upward mobility to

513
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 1: go on a title run. Alabama has the upward mobility

514
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: to go on a title run. They've got just as

515
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: much a chance of being beaten by Auburn in a

516
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: couple of weeks if they don't show up, So there

517
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: is a ton in play here. But when these teams

518
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: are at their best, Oregon's the best I've seen Alabama

519
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: is in that conversation. When teams are at their best

520
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,959
Speaker 1: is what I'm talking about here, not what the team's

521
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: been in totality, because what Alabama's been in totality still

522
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: is probably a notch below that of an organ because

523
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: Oregon's been far more consistent and lethal this year. And

524
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: I'm trying trying to phrase this properly, so we're not

525
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: getting ahead of ourselves. These are not predictions or anything

526
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: like that. But we have got a glob of potential

527
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: two loss teams just in the sec alone. Someone's gonna

528
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: make a run here. So it's the one that peaks

529
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: at the right time. Obviously that's gonna make the run.

530
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: I do want to thank everyone down at LSU because

531
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: we hadn't been down there for a game since twenty nineteen.

532
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: Amazing trip back, whether no weather, amazing trip back, the

533
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: entire staff down there, strength conditioning staff, Jake and his guys,

534
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: the folks over at LSU plus went over to the

535
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: stadium and met with them. Friday. I even sat down

536
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: with Jay Johnson, who's the head baseball coach down there,

537
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: because that may be the best baseball program in the

538
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 1: country and that is my native sport, and so had

539
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: a good talk with him, and obviously the entire staff there,

540
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: Michael Bonnet, his entire staff there and coaching staff as well,

541
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: really treated us great and look for every reason to

542
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: get down to LSU. Guys, if you've never done that,

543
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: I strongly encourage you to do it now. If you're

544
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 1: a road team, Hopefully your team performs like Bama did

545
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: going in there. But it is a site to behold.

546
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 1: To be in that place Saturday night, it's just a

547
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 1: site to behold. And we got there because of quick trip.

548
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: The whole New Saturday Tour presented by Quick Trip. We

549
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: appreciate them eternally for making all that possible. We got

550
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: down there what Thursday night, We're there Friday, where their Saturday?

551
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: And we get to do all this because Quick Trip

552
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: fuels us up and can fuel you up as well.

553
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: And I do need to say more and more as

554
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: I interact with people. One of the questions is you

555
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: got any gas cards on you? Well, I don't physically

556
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: carry the gas cards. The way you get the gas

557
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: card is go visit the Quick Trip, take a quick

558
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: picture of yourself, tag me, tag them, and we just

559
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: hand them out at random. I just give tanks of

560
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: gas out at random. I'll probably do one tonight after

561
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: the show's over. So we appreciate them for taking us

562
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: to Baton Rouge. Now there's a lot of consternation about

563
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: where we're going to go this weekend, and it was

564
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: complicated going into yesterday because there were a few different

565
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: possibilities on the table. But the way the cards fell

566
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: yesterday it cleared it up fairly easily. So without further ado,

567
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: in week twelve, the whole New Saturday tour will be

568
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: rolling down the road just a good ways to Athens, Georgia.

569
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: I get to go back to my home state. Tennessee

570
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: will be in town, and just like last week, we

571
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: have one of those good old fashioned mid November playoff

572
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: elimination games, or so they tell me. I don't know.

573
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,959
Speaker 1: I just show up because Tennessee versus Georgia has always

574
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: mattered a great deal in my household, no matter the

575
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: ex ternal implications. This is a night game, and I've

576
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: been to many games in San Fra Stadium. I have

577
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: been to many night games there, the Notre Dame game

578
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: a few years ago. I wanted to be there, but

579
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: I was still in local news at the time and

580
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: got jilted out of an opportunity to go. So looking

581
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: forward to this. Maybe better weather this weekend. We'll see

582
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: if they can dial it up. Really looking forward to that.

583
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: So we will be down there. Oh, let me fire

584
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: off the tweet right quick, and there we go. Now

585
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: the people who are irresponsibly not watching the show live

586
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: also know. So we will see you guys down there

587
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: Friday next up. A lot of you got a lot

588
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: of you got some strange, morbid kind of joy out

589
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: of watching Georgia Tech beat Miami yesterday. And I had people,

590
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: I had people knocking our door down. Earlier in the week,

591
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: Jesse and Colin they were asking me, why are you

592
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: so low on Miami? I said, what do you mean

593
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: low on Miami? And they said, well, in the JP pole,

594
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: you've got them way lower than the AP pole. Well,

595
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: I wasn't low on Miami. The AP pole was high

596
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: on Miami. It's two different possibilities there. We had Miami pegged.

597
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: We put a little ceiling on them because they are

598
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: a very good team. They've got a great quarterback. But

599
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: their outcomes were always going to be wildly volatile as

600
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: long as they were playing the brand of football they

601
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: were playing. It's just walking up to the stove and

602
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: going like that and going like that, and eventually you

603
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: touch it and you get burned. They got burned yesterday.

604
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: Don't act like this couldn't have happened against Virginia Tech.

605
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: Could have happened against col Now. I will say this

606
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: in terms of watchability, this was a three and a

607
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: half chili game. This is a really entertaining game. They

608
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: played a good team. Georgia Tech's a good team. We

609
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: talked about this game Thursday. I was very concerned about it.

610
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: I put it on the upset alert concerned meter and

611
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: it was at a seven or an eight. I think

612
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: they they've hit the gas several weeks when they see

613
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: the yellow light, which we do in traffic all the time.

614
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: But if you keep hitting the gas when that light

615
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: turns yellow, eventually you don't make it through and it

616
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: turns red and the cops sitting over there on his

617
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: motorcycle and he pulls you over. And Miami got pulled

618
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: over yesterday. It wasn't it wasn't fatal to their playoff

619
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: hopes or anything like that, or their acc title hopes,

620
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: but they were dealt a little bit of a blow.

621
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: And it's felt inevitable. If you've watched this team play,

622
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: it's felt inevitable for a little while. So there was

623
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: a there was a semi padlock stat in this game.

624
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: And first I want to tell you Brent Key is

625
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: now twelve and two at Georgia Tech coming off a loss.

626
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: Look at the post it. It's a post it pop

627
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: and he's got six ranked wins as an unranked team.

628
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: So if you play Brent Key, heads up, if you

629
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: play Georgia Tech, heads up. Now here's the semi padlock stat,

630
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: A padlock stat for those of you who are new

631
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,959
Speaker 1: around here. Is it's a form of a stat where

632
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: if we knew it on Friday, we would automatically know

633
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: the outcome of a game. But then we have a

634
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: semi padlock stat or a padlock stat or a batlock

635
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: status we sometimes call it. And this is something where

636
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: you would have thought it was a slam dunk, but

637
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: then you realize it's not. If I told you Georgia

638
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: Tech was going to have a two seventy one to

639
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,959
Speaker 1: eighty eight rushing yardage advantage, you would think, or at

640
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: least I would think that's good. That's good. But what

641
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: did cam Ward do? Because if cam Ward exploded, then

642
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: that could explain that. Well. Miami led in overall passing

643
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: three forty eight to ninety nine. So if you told

644
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: me both of those, I would have been right back

645
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: to neutral and I would say, Okay, I still have

646
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: no clue who wins. This game could go either way,

647
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: so what's going to decide it? The same thing we

648
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: talked about Thursday, the high leverage situations and they killed Miami. Finally,

649
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: Miami was on the wrong side of this because they

650
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: didn't go take the game and they allowed the game

651
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: and the opponent to take them. Miami was one of

652
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: five on fourth downs, three of those ended at the

653
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech twenty three Georgia Tech twenty eight Georgia Tech

654
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: thirty nine. Tech was nine of fourteen on third down.

655
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: Miami was three of ten on third down. And I

656
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: think the most glaring part of all this, I don't

657
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 1: know what stood out to you. The most glaring part

658
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: of all this is Georgia Tech only needed twenty eight

659
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: to win this. If Georgia Tech was gonna beat Miami,

660
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: I thought it was mid to upper thirties, unless cam

661
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: Ward was knocked out of the game or something like that.

662
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: But this, I mean that there's cam wod and they

663
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: turned the ball over some. But Georgia Tech just played

664
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 1: them tough, just played them tough. I know after these

665
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: upset games, everyone wants to say something so profound, and

666
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: especially if it's Miami. Miami is very polarizing. Crystal Ball

667
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: is very polarizing because everyone's got a take on them

668
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: and him and the outcomes never changed your mind. But

669
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: if you don't believe in them or you're critical of him,

670
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: and then they lose, just like the Georgia Tech game

671
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: last year, down in Coral Gables or down in Miami.

672
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 1: You want to hop on your show if you have one,

673
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 1: or you want to hop on your social accounts, which

674
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: most of you have won, or you want to tell

675
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: your buddy via text or straight up phone call, if

676
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: you want to be really disrespectful, something really profound. And

677
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything profound to be drawn from this.

678
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,919
Speaker 1: I watched this Miami game yesterday and it didn't seem

679
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:24,919
Speaker 1: much different to me than a couple of other games

680
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: I've watched and play this year. Is just that they

681
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 1: lost this one, whereas they found a way to win.

682
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: And finding a way to win those games is wonderful

683
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: if you don't have to learn the hard lesson. But

684
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: sometimes teams have to lose before they look in the

685
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: mirror and learn hard lessons about themselves. So maybe some

686
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: people needed to see them lose. Who knows, maybe some

687
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: guys on that team needed to lose. Well, now they lost,

688
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: Now they lost. I don't think any different of them.

689
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: Still think they're the best team in the ACC. I

690
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: still think they're the favorite to win the ACC. I

691
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: think they will win the ACC. They remove any margin

692
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,760
Speaker 1: for error in that path. They better not lose again.

693
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: They better win that conference title or they're probably not

694
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: in the playoff. But as long as they take care

695
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: of business, everything's still in front of them. However, however,

696
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: that doesn't change the fact that there's a lot of

697
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: stuff that they got to clean up. And again, I

698
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,919
Speaker 1: will remind you, it's November. It's not the second week

699
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: of fall camp. We're not talking about Miami's second scrimmage

700
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: of fall camp, and oh, we got to get the

701
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: stuff cleaned up. This is it. This is the stretch run.

702
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 1: This is when you're supposed to be peaking. The teams

703
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 1: that are going to be there in the end. They're

704
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: peaking like they're doing what Bama did yesterday. They're doing

705
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: what Texas has done, They're doing what Ole miss did yesterday,

706
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 1: what Oregon's doing, That's not what Miami's doing right now.

707
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: Having said that, I am never going to eliminate a

708
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: team that I think probably has the best quarterback in

709
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: the country playing for them. We've learned that lesson before

710
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: in college football. But there was just nothing profound I

711
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: took away from this. It was not a referendum or

712
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: an indictment. It was it was more of the same

713
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: it was very inconsistent play. It is a team that

714
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 1: I still think is dangerous if it gets its act together,

715
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: but it is not a team right now that I

716
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: would pick to do much more than win their conference.

717
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: I think that's a fair characterization of where Miami's at.

718
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: Good for good for Georgia Tech, good for him. I

719
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: was not surprised at the outcome. Was not surprised at

720
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: all at the outcome. I think, you know, it was

721
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 1: very much an off the radar game, and so when

722
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: people saw the final maybe it took you aback. We

723
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: spent what Jesse like five minutes on this game Thursday,

724
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: so we talked about the potential. Now Miami is still

725
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 1: the favorite to win the ACC, but SMU is right

726
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: there behind him, and this this crept open the door

727
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: for Clemson again. It crept open the door. So Clemson

728
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: is still very much alive in this whole conversation. They're

729
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: watching us in Hermann, Missouri, Latney, Texas, and they're watching

730
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: us in Denver, Colorado. Appreciate everyone who is watching live

731
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: or maybe you're listening or watching on a Monday morning.

732
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: If you are, I don't care. Take a sip of

733
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:14,479
Speaker 1: zva wherever you are. I went by the store before

734
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: I came over here today. They were just carton this

735
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: stuff around publics. Publics does not sponsor the show, but

736
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: they should, and it just it warmed my soul to

737
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:29,720
Speaker 1: see that. I couldn't help but feel partially responsible. Big

738
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: change is happening at Florida State. Mike Norvel has made

739
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: several moves today. They got obliterated by Notre Dame yesterday.

740
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: I mean Notre Dame. That's someone's children. You did that too,

741
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 1: fifty two to three. And so they get just annihilated

742
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: and it's a dead team. It's not going anywhere. This

743
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: is a historically bad year. That is worse than worst

744
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 1: case scenario. And so today Mike Norvel released a statement.

745
00:38:56,120 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 1: He has fired Alex Atkins as his offensive coordinator. He's

746
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: fired Adam Fuller as his defensive coordinator. Ron Duggins is

747
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 1: out as wide receivers coach. We don't know if more

748
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: moves could be coming. These are just the first moves up.

749
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: There's different ways you can look at this. These guys

750
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: were there last year. Both these coordinators were there last

751
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: year when that historic team did historic things. Both of

752
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: these coordinators were there. So you could look at this

753
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: and you could say, well, how are they the problem

754
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: if they weren't the solution last year. You can't be

755
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: all negative without acknowledging the positive. Arguments could be made

756
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: both ways. But I think it goes so far beyond that.

757
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: This had to be done, and it had to be

758
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: done because the team is dead. Everything's a mess, and

759
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: the perception of the program is that it's dead and

760
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 1: everything's a mess. Notice I used a different word there.

761
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: The team is dead. That's indisputable. The program doesn't have

762
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: to be dead, but it's perceived as that way. Right now,

763
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: there's a huge mess, and whether you believe it yourself

764
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: or not, you cannot sell to recruits and to your

765
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: fan base that the guys who were there when the

766
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: mess was made are the same ones they should trust

767
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: to clean up the mess. And Mike Norvell is not

768
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 1: going anywhere, so Mike Novel is going to be the constant.

769
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: That means everyone around him is going to have to

770
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: take a fall. And do they deserve to take a fall? Well,

771
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: everyone deserves some blame down there, but you know you

772
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: deserve some credit for being part of last year too,

773
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: So I got no problem if someone has that take.

774
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: But now the big question is how much are they

775
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 1: able to wash twenty twenty four off of Florida State.

776
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: The program. The year's lost, the team's dead. It's one

777
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,919
Speaker 1: of the most embarrassing things that made the major college

778
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 1: football level that any of us have ever seen. Whether

779
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: you hate Florida State or love Florida State, it's just

780
00:40:56,120 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 1: been really difficult, in mind boggling to watch. How much

781
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: does this season, being so off the rails horrible poison

782
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,359
Speaker 1: the well of the Florida State program. I have no

783
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: answer for you, because this is so far out of

784
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: the realm of believability that I don't know what to

785
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: compare it to. And I think Mike Norvel in some

786
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,280
Speaker 1: ways can benefit from that, because if we had fifteen

787
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: other examples of this happening in the past, and thirteen

788
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,919
Speaker 1: out of fifteen times the head coach was fired within

789
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: two years and they never got it on the right

790
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: track again, that would be it. Perception would be reality.

791
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: But these days he happens to be the first one

792
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: to go from striking it rich at the roulette table

793
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: to completely striking out the next role, and so he

794
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: kind of gets to chart his own course here and

795
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: he could make it totally believable that you can go

796
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: from being a two to ten team or whatever they

797
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: end up being, to being right back in contention the

798
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 1: next year. He just has to sell it. He has

799
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: to cast the vision, he has to hire correctly and

800
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: pay close attention. Look around the country. You got two

801
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 1: coordinator spots open here, and you got a situation where

802
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: it's a pretty good place to be. It's a pretty

803
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: good coach to work for and work under, and it

804
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: can't get worse. So you're in a situation if you're

805
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: a prospective coordinator out there where you could go to

806
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: Florida State, make really good money, you could recruit a

807
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: really good territory. You've got playing time to sell. And also,

808
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: no matter what you do, it couldn't get worse, so

809
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:38,359
Speaker 1: you're guaranteed to improve the situation. I'm excited to see

810
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,760
Speaker 1: where he goes. I got no names for you tonight,

811
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: still very early on in that process, and mondays when

812
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: I normally have those calls. But keep an eye on that,

813
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: keep a very close eye on that. I know I will.

814
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: All right, let's dive back into some football. I got

815
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 1: in a fight yesterday, not physically, of course, but a

816
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: really wordy fight. This next team, it'll shock you to

817
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 1: learn who it is. Colorado beat Texas Tech forty one

818
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: to twenty seven. This was impressive. I give it three

819
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 1: tali on the one to five scale. This was entertaining,

820
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: but it was impressive because Texas Tech scored on their

821
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 1: first three drives. I trust many of you watched this game.

822
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 1: Many more of you probably saw the ending, but maybe

823
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: you don't know how it started. Texas Tech started scoring

824
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: on the first three drives. They're up thirteen to nothing.

825
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 1: And my position I was in yesterday was such that

826
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: I got to take glimpses of this game live. And

827
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: the last thing I saw was Colorado punting for the

828
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: fourth time in a row and they're down, and so

829
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: at that point I had to tune it out because

830
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: I was at a game. So you can imagine my

831
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: surprise when I see that final and then I go

832
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: back and look, and it turns out, right after I

833
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: had to stop watching the game, they go touchdown, field goal, touchdown,

834
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: two touchdown touchdown. Their next five drives they scored Colorado did.

835
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: Four of them went for fifty five yards plus, three

836
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 1: of them went seventy yards plus, and they won. People

837
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: are almost starting to take it for granted now, Colorado

838
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: just wins. Colorado is the best story in college football.

839
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 1: To me, that's the fight I got in. I think

840
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: Robert Griffin said Colorado's the best story in college football

841
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: right now. I agree with him. I think he's right

842
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: about that. And so then everyone yelled, what about BYU,

843
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 1: what about Indiana? Those are really good stories too. I

844
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: happen to have an opinion here, and my opinion is

845
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 1: what Deon's doing at Colorado over two years is the

846
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: best story in college football. It's one of the more

847
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 1: unbelievable stories in college football. And remember we're talking about

848
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: what the best story in the sport is well. Story

849
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: usually involves broad interest. Indiana hasn't drawn the eyeballs of

850
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: everyone coast to coast. They have me because I'm a

851
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: hardcore college football fan. But I mean, your uncle Mike

852
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: out in Santa Monica does not know about coach sig

853
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: quite yet. I doubt he knows how to spell kalone

854
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 1: Sataki quite yet. Although those are very good stories and

855
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 1: I'm enamored with them, but Deon and Colorado transcend college football.

856
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: You're at Martha down in Sarasota knows about Dion and Colorado,

857
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 1: and she doesn't watch college football. She may even know

858
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: about Travis Hunter. He played man. Where did I write

859
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 1: that he played one hundred and fifty five snaps yesterday?

860
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 1: Travis Hunter did still had his usual one hundred yard

861
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: receiving game, played cornerback, one wide receiver, one. Just unfathomable

862
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 1: what he's doing. And it's unfathomable that Dion Sanders, not

863
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 1: a coach you've never heard of. Deon Sanders, who you

864
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: never thought was going to be a coach at the

865
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 1: major college football level, took over a program and then

866
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: a bunch of people doubted him, but everyone had an

867
00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 1: opinion of it. And they're they're surging, they're succeeding two

868
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: years in and they're a really good football team. But

869
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: at the same time, his son is playing quarterback and

870
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: Shador goes thirty one of forty three or thirty forty

871
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:14,399
Speaker 1: three two ninety one four total touchdowns yesterday, so he's

872
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 1: still shining. They didn't run the ball all that effectively,

873
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 1: so it's still disproportionately him shouldering the load. Again, that

874
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: is the superstar head coach's son. If we're telling a

875
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: story here. Who may go really really high in the

876
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: NFL draft and then guess what the defense did for Colorado.

877
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 1: They didn't pitch a shutout. Far from it, because that's

878
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: not what they're capable of doing. What they are capable

879
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: of doing, it's six sacks, ten tackles for loss, held

880
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,439
Speaker 1: them to two point seven yards per carry, forced three

881
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 1: turnovers on downs, forced a pick, and two fumbles. So

882
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: if they can't shut you down, if they can't stone you,

883
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: they will create havoc and they will cause turning points

884
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: in a football game. They were bad on third down

885
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:04,399
Speaker 1: on yesterday, they were penalized. They were bad running the ball.

886
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 1: That's the point. That's the point. They're finding different ways

887
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 1: to win. It's not a one trick pony team. That's

888
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: what makes it a very solid football team and makes

889
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 1: it a really good story. I think it's the best

890
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:18,439
Speaker 1: story in college football right now. And if you don't

891
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 1: think it's the best, you gotta think it's one of

892
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,720
Speaker 1: the best. Colorado is the favorite to win the Big Twelve.

893
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,320
Speaker 1: It's real. Now, it's serious. If you've been a holdout,

894
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: you've got to take it serious now. Fresh off the

895
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: press is at FanDuel Colorado is the favorite to win

896
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve? Friends, do you know what happens if

897
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,320
Speaker 1: Colorado wins the Big Twelve, which they are favored to

898
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: do right now? They go to the playoff. Nothing's broken.

899
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,439
Speaker 1: I'm just quiet for a second, so you can soak

900
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: that in. They go to the playoff. Deon Sanders and

901
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 1: Colorado go to the playoff if they win. They need

902
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: to mute this because this is rat poison. But they

903
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: go to the play off if they win. So that's

904
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 1: where we are now. Not a person in America was

905
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 1: indifferent on this. You either thought Dion was the best

906
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: story in college football or you despised it and you

907
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: didn't like the way the program carried itself, and you

908
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: thought this, and you thought that, But there was no

909
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: one out there that when you asked them, what do

910
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,240
Speaker 1: you think about Deion in Colorado reacted by saying, ah,

911
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: I could go either way. That is what makes it,

912
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 1: among other things, the best story in college football. Let's

913
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 1: move on. Where was this? Okay? Yeah? I had my

914
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: papers rearranged there for a second, am I already out?

915
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 1: I'm not out? Let me just pour some more cream soda.

916
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,359
Speaker 1: Oh man, Colin didn't even have to use the sound

917
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: effect there. That was the real thing. Several added takeaways.

918
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,879
Speaker 1: We're not even close to done. Did you see South

919
00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: Carolina Vandy yesterday? You know, Vandy's played Bam this year,

920
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 1: they played Texas this year, they played Missouri. This year.

921
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 1: No one handled Vandy like South Carolina did yesterday, twenty

922
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 1: eight to seven. South Carolina's good. I don't I have

923
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: no idea that they can make the playoff. I don't

924
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: think they can. I think there will be teams that

925
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: make the playoffs that are not as good as South Carolina.

926
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 1: Never thought I'd be saying that they are surging as

927
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 1: a football team. They are playing their best football after

928
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: the month of October. October has extended significantly into November.

929
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,720
Speaker 1: This year, they were nine of twelve on third down. Yesterday,

930
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 1: they got an elite pass rush. They out gained Vandy

931
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: four fifty two to two. Seventy four. Sellers was good,

932
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: Rocket Sanders was good. You know the games they have

933
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: left Colin showing you the schedule right there. They played

934
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: Missouri this weekend. They're about a two touchdown favorite. Then

935
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: they got Wafford and then they go too Clemson, and

936
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: I've got a little Working Theory producer Jesse said this

937
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: earlier today. I actually agree. I think South Carolina could

938
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: go over and win the ACC this particular year. If

939
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: they played this way in the ACC, they would be

940
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 1: a big time challenger to win that conference. Well maybe right,

941
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:16,280
Speaker 1: maybe wrong. We will get to see them go into

942
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 1: Clemson at the end of the year, and Clemson is

943
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,240
Speaker 1: one of three teams that are in the odds favorites

944
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 1: category to win that league. We'll just see how they

945
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: stack up. Good for them though. Twenty eight to seven

946
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: was the final there. Speaking of Clemson, not a very

947
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 1: esthetically pleasing game yesterday, but they went into Blacksburg, they

948
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 1: got the job done. The box score indicates that this

949
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 1: twenty four to fourteen win included the offense getting back

950
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: on track. Uh, don't know if I felt that way,

951
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: per Se. I just thought it was a win. It

952
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: was a win. This is one of those moments where

953
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 1: I will say a win is a win. There's just

954
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 1: I have so little to say about the game. Virginia

955
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: Tech has disappointed me this year. Virginia Tech was not

956
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: a threat offensively yesterday they got the lead defensively, I

957
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: think they were not a threat at Clemson just kind

958
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 1: of grinded out a win. They weren't overly special, but

959
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: they did what it takes to win. That's it. They

960
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 1: are the exact same team. Both teams not a surprise

961
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 1: either direction. Indiana beat Michigan yesterday twenty to fifteen. This

962
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 1: was another game for Michigan where they get up by

963
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: double digits, but this one they almost came back in,

964
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 1: almost came back. They had a chance to tie this

965
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 1: thing in the mid fourth quarter and it did not happen.

966
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: And then Indiana did what Indiana has been doing. I

967
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier in the show that Bryce Underwood is the

968
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: most important story around LSU. Right now he's the most

969
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,280
Speaker 1: important story around Michigan too. This feels like an old

970
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: school early two thousands recruitment that people keep hitting refresh

971
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: on the message boards for and they're living and dying

972
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: on every update. Bryce Underwood, if he were to go

973
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:05,760
Speaker 1: to Michigan, would completely change the future of Michigan football,

974
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: just like he'd changed LSU. The difference is Michigan is

975
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: far more starved for any kind of quarterback with a pulse,

976
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 1: much less a potentially generational player like Underwood, and so

977
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,360
Speaker 1: that's what everyone's talking about up there, and with good reason,

978
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 1: because this season is not one to write home about.

979
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 1: Good for Penn State, Jesse, congratulations. I think this is

980
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 1: more important than whenever your birthday actually comes around this

981
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: year thirty five to six, and I want to tell you, folks,

982
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: if you didn't watch this game, and I don't recommend it,

983
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: because Peacock's presentation sucked. Thirty five to six included a

984
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 1: hot start in the first half. Look at the drive chart, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown.

985
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. Four possessions, four touchdowns in the

986
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 1: first half of Penn State. Each of these drives were

987
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,359
Speaker 1: at least eight plays long. They were seven of seven

988
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 1: on third down first half, two hundred and sixty four yards.

989
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: And this was after they couldn't do anything one week

990
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: ago against Ohio State got right back up off the deck.

991
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 1: This was a dangerous game and until it wasn't good

992
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 1: for them. Wonderful things can happen when you start fast

993
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 1: and then you make a team try and play catch

994
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,279
Speaker 1: up in a white out. Now I have to hop

995
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 1: on a little soapbox here for a second. All Penn

996
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: State folks probably feel this, but I don't think a

997
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,240
Speaker 1: lot of you who are not Penn State or Washington

998
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:32,760
Speaker 1: fans saw this game last night. I'm all for college

999
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 1: football tradition. I love it. I'm for the white out

1000
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:37,959
Speaker 1: at Penn State. I love it. And it happened last

1001
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 1: night and it is one of the great spectacles in

1002
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 1: college football. What I hate about the current state of

1003
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:49,280
Speaker 1: our game is that media rights contracts get bid out

1004
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 1: because a bunch of people who did not grow up

1005
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 1: loving college football are in the position to pull a

1006
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: lever to spend a bunch of money on college football.

1007
00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: They don't understand the passion, they don't under stand the spectacle,

1008
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 1: they don't understand the tradition, they don't understand what makes

1009
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 1: it great. These are just items on press releases that

1010
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:10,799
Speaker 1: their PR staff puts out, and so what that ends

1011
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 1: up becoming is a network acquires the rights and then

1012
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: they go put it on their streaming platform. Last night,

1013
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 1: it was peacock and the intro to the game was

1014
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: terrible because the people who produced it either did not

1015
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,359
Speaker 1: have the capability to or did not have the understanding

1016
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: to know how to properly present the concept that not

1017
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,720
Speaker 1: only are we live at Beaver Stadium in State College

1018
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania and it's the white out. We want to show

1019
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 1: you what that is. You got none of that. You

1020
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 1: got none of that because people have acquired the rights

1021
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:46,359
Speaker 1: to this stuff and have no clue how to present it.

1022
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 1: And that's not specifically an NBC problem or anything like that,

1023
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 1: but I thought they did such a disservice to this

1024
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 1: thing that happens once a year. For Penn State, it

1025
00:54:55,400 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: happens once a year. So you just, if you acquire

1026
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 1: the rights to this stuff, please put people in the

1027
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:06,760
Speaker 1: driver's seat who understand how to present it, and please

1028
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 1: take people out of the decision making and production aspects

1029
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 1: of this stuff that do not eat, sleep, and breathe

1030
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 1: college football. If they don't speak college football fluently, they

1031
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:20,800
Speaker 1: have no business doing this stuff. They may be great

1032
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 1: at what they do, they may be phenomenal at producing television.

1033
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: This is college football. There's a very unique way to

1034
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: present and produce this stuff, and that's why when you

1035
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 1: see it done the right way, it really jumps off

1036
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 1: the screen and punches you in the face. When it's

1037
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:41,280
Speaker 1: presented the wrong way, it slaps you in the face

1038
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 1: for all the wrong reasons. But good for Penn State

1039
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 1: for winning the game handedly, Brigham Young found a way again.

1040
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 1: Brigham Young won this game against Utah last night. I

1041
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: cannot believe they pulled it out. I was certain they

1042
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 1: were going down. It's just their year. I don't know

1043
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: what else to say. It happens every year for someone

1044
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 1: at Washington. Last year, it's just their year. I got

1045
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 1: back to the hotel last night in Baton Rouge in

1046
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:09,799
Speaker 1: time to watch this fourth quarter. I think maybe some

1047
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 1: of you were in bed, but since then, maybe you

1048
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 1: saw the play. At the end. Utah has got them

1049
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 1: dead to rights and it is a fourth down and

1050
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 1: they need a chunk of yardage. This is the play,

1051
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 1: right Yeah, and there is a holding call on fourth

1052
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:30,319
Speaker 1: down that dB got called for a hold and it

1053
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:33,439
Speaker 1: was it was touchy, to say the least. I thought

1054
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: it was a very very ill timed flag. Well, anyway,

1055
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 1: bringing Young gets down the field and they score. Now,

1056
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:42,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you what Mark Harlan said, So this

1057
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 1: is the Utah ad. First off, the Utah athletic director

1058
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 1: had a press conference after the game. I mean, they

1059
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 1: were so convinced they got screwed. The A d stepped

1060
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:54,799
Speaker 1: up and said, and I quote, this game was absolutely

1061
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:56,840
Speaker 1: stolen from us. This man stepped to a microphone and

1062
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 1: said this, this game was stolen from us. We were

1063
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:01,840
Speaker 1: excited about being in the Big Twelve, but tonight I

1064
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 1: am not We won this game. Someone else stole it

1065
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 1: from us. I'm very disappointed. I will talk to the commissioner.

1066
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: This was not fair to our team. I'm disgusted by

1067
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: the professionalism of the officiating crew tonight. If you've watched

1068
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 1: this show this year, or if you've just watched college football,

1069
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: you know officiating has been a disaster, and you know

1070
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 1: we haven't backed off calling it out when it needs

1071
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: to be called out. Now, what I will take exception

1072
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 1: to is the Big Twelve stole a game from you.

1073
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 1: No officials didn't steal a game from you. You didn't

1074
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 1: step up and make enough plays. That's what cost you

1075
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 1: the game. To be very clear, had you scored seventeen

1076
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 1: in the second half, the games out of reach, had

1077
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 1: you put the nail in the coffin by executing football plays,

1078
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:48,080
Speaker 1: you don't leave it in the hands of the officials.

1079
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 1: What is one of the first rules Memo ever taught

1080
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 1: me after don't lose to food, which means rice, do

1081
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 1: not leave games. Do not leave your fate in the

1082
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 1: hands of officials, because they will break your heart every time.

1083
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: And Utah, well, as they played last night, they left

1084
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 1: the game in the hands of officials, and officials broke

1085
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 1: their heart. And Mark Harlan is probably dead on the money,

1086
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 1: it was probably a call that does not get made

1087
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 1: if it's going the other way. I can't prove that.

1088
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 1: I don't like to get into that I didn't agree

1089
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 1: with the call, but I will say this so as

1090
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 1: much as I disagree that in a very heated emotional moment,

1091
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,040
Speaker 1: he said they stole the game from him, what I

1092
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 1: do agree with is this last part of that quote.

1093
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 1: I'm disgusted by the professionalism of the officiating crew. It's

1094
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: not even the professionalism that aggravates me. I go to

1095
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: these games a lot. I talked to these officials before games.

1096
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 1: I had a white hat come up to me within

1097
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 1: the last month before the game said I love the show,

1098
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 1: including the parts where we've been critical of the officiating mechanism.

1099
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: I got complimented for it by a lead official, by

1100
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 1: a why on one of these crews. Because I don't

1101
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 1: just shovel a bunch of crap on their head. It

1102
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 1: goes far beyond them. I think officiating crews are put

1103
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:13,479
Speaker 1: in a bad position sometimes by lack of leadership or

1104
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 1: maybe very very uneven or imbalanced prioritization of how they're

1105
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: supposed to do their job, and they're left guessing and

1106
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 1: wondering sometimes. But what he said was really what it

1107
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 1: comes down to is why does everyone else have to

1108
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 1: answer for their impact on this game but officials? And

1109
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: he got fined forty thousand dollars today Mark Carlin did

1110
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 1: by Brett or Mark in the league office for saying

1111
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 1: that you won't hear a word about officiating, or if

1112
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 1: you hear about it, it'll be in some statement released

1113
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 1: forty eight hours after the game. And it's just never enough.

1114
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 1: It is not enough. They deserve more, We deserve more.

1115
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 1: It's paying customers. Never been enough, and hopefully there's been

1116
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 1: enough groundswell of complaint where that changes this year. Also,

1117
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Missouri won the game last night. Are you kidding me?

1118
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 1: Missouri beat Oklahoma? Did you see? What happened? Was was

1119
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 1: something I got texted to me. No less than let's

1120
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: call it one thousand and thirty times. Maybe a little exaggeration,

1121
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: but not much. This game was low scoring, until it wasn't.

1122
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 1: Twenty one points in the final two minutes, fourteen were

1123
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 1: on defense. This is how the game ended, a scoop

1124
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 1: and a score defensively. This is with less than ten

1125
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 1: seconds to go. Kublic was in the middle of all this.

1126
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:41,479
Speaker 1: Are you serious? So Director Colin tells me that he actually, yes,

1127
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 1: we can confirm. Director Colin has acquired footage of Cole

1128
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 1: Kublick putting a microphone in front of Eli Drinkwitz after

1129
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 1: the game, and drink was just propagandized us all rollick, Colin,

1130
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 1: just do for your football team moving forward. I know

1131
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 1: you know about your team, you know about their demeanor.

1132
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 1: What does this do for you moving forward from now?

1133
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 1: It gives us another win, keeps sending the playoff fun.

1134
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 1: That's right. I said it playoff untas place go and

1135
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 1: Cublic didn't ask a follow up, so I can all.

1136
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 1: I can only assume Cublic thinks Missouri is a playoff team.

1137
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 1: In fact, I will remember Cole Kublick as saying Missouri

1138
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 1: as a playoff team from that clip. That's what I

1139
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 1: took away from that.

1140
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 2: Um.

1141
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 1: Eli drink Witz was fired up. He should be. His

1142
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 1: team just won a big game. I don't necessarily want

1143
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:33,160
Speaker 1: to get into the semantics of reminding you that they

1144
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 1: lost by a combined seventy five to ten the only

1145
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: two times they've gone on the road in conference play

1146
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 1: this year, and they are about a two touchdown underdog

1147
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 1: this Saturday. I don't want to be the guy to

1148
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 1: do that, because I don't want to be the guy

1149
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:45,120
Speaker 1: that reigns on Missouri's parade. Even though everything I just

1150
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 1: said is factual. It was it was wild. That was wild.

1151
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 1: Cublic will text me before the end of this sentence,

1152
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 1: by the way, So Missouri gets the win, and now

1153
01:01:57,120 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 1: we have what we have four undefeated teams, we got

1154
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 1: ten lost teams, we got nineteen to two loss teams.

1155
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 1: It's a disaster, and it's great. Let's move on. Let's

1156
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 1: let's move on, because I have a like three or

1157
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 1: four other things to talk to you about. I was

1158
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 1: just interacting with the live chat over here. The AP

1159
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:18,760
Speaker 1: pole has dropped on us here week twelve of the

1160
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 1: AP pole, and I have got some issue to take

1161
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 1: with this. Not surprisingly, the top once again is okay.

1162
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 1: So Oregon's number one, right, yeah, Oregon's number one? Okay,

1163
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:33,680
Speaker 1: Ohio State's two, all right, Texas. Penn State's still high.

1164
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 1: Penn State's number four. JP pole is going to have

1165
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:38,760
Speaker 1: them a little bit lower than that, which is kind

1166
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 1: of the Miami conundrum. Last week, the AP had Miami

1167
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:44,440
Speaker 1: top five, and I told you Miami's too high. Well,

1168
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 1: Miami went lost. I'm not quite sure Penn State's going

1169
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 1: to do that. And Penn State's okay in a rankings world.

1170
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 1: When I'm telling you they're overrated, I don't mean they

1171
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 1: should not be ranked high. I am comparing where they

1172
01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 1: are in rankings world to where they are in a

1173
01:02:57,560 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 1: power ratings world, and I'm kind of explaining the detachment

1174
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:03,919
Speaker 1: that I think exists. Indiana is kind of high too,

1175
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 1: but ignore that because they deserve to be there. Tennessee's

1176
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:11,680
Speaker 1: at six, all right, bring him Young at seven, keep surviving.

1177
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 1: You know last week, if you were watching the show,

1178
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:16,200
Speaker 1: I just issued total immunity to bring him Young. I'm

1179
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 1: not gonna criticize where they're placed. As long as they're undefeated.

1180
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 1: They deserve to be up there. Notre Dame is now

1181
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 1: number eight in the AP pole, and that is about

1182
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 1: equal to what the JP pole has them at, and

1183
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 1: they keep winning, so I'm gonna keep my mouth shut.

1184
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter what I think, as long as you keep

1185
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:37,160
Speaker 1: winning and impressively at that rate. Alabama's nine now, and

1186
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 1: then Ole Miss is ten, and I'm gonna tell you again,

1187
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:42,640
Speaker 1: Ole Miss is still too low. There are not nine

1188
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 1: teams in the country better than Old Miss. I get

1189
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 1: why they're down there. They got two losses. I get

1190
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 1: all that. We will have Ole Miss top five this week.

1191
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 1: I think we had them number six last week. In

1192
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:56,920
Speaker 1: the Power ratings, Georgia's at eleven. Now we're entering a

1193
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:59,080
Speaker 1: world where Georgia has lost a couple of games they

1194
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 1: deserve to drop, but in an AP versus JP format,

1195
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 1: George is not dropping out of the top ten. That's

1196
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 1: largely just due to how talented the roster is, and

1197
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 1: a lot of that does go and get baked into

1198
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 1: what a power rating would have. Odds makers would be

1199
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 1: no different. That's why Georgia as of right now is

1200
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 1: a nine and a half point favorite against Tennessee this Saturday.

1201
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 1: You think they're vulnerable, You think Tennessee's defense can get

1202
01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 1: after him. George can't run the ball, Okay, we'll go

1203
01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:32,280
Speaker 1: beck Tennessee. Would be my advice about Miami's twelve. That's

1204
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:35,000
Speaker 1: an excellent placement for them. That's about where they should be.

1205
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 1: That's probably around where we'll have them this week. Boise

1206
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 1: at thirteen is too high, but that's irrelevant because that's

1207
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 1: AP versus JP SMU fourteen A and M fifteen got

1208
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 1: no problem. Army at sixteen. We issue exemptions for the military.

1209
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 1: We will never rate them properly in the model. I

1210
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:56,440
Speaker 1: stopped trying, so Army at sixteen's fine. Clemson at seventeen,

1211
01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 1: we think they're too low, but you need to ignore

1212
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 1: that as well, because I think the model has overrated Clemson.

1213
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 1: As it turns out, all year suspect the suspect placement

1214
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 1: of Clemson I have called out for the model. Colorado eighteen, well,

1215
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:13,840
Speaker 1: Washington State nineteen, Kansas State twenty, got no problem. LSU

1216
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:17,600
Speaker 1: dropped down to twenty one. That's around where we'll have him.

1217
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 1: Louisville is too low at twenty two. I know they

1218
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:22,600
Speaker 1: got three losses, so that's why the AP has him

1219
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 1: down there. Louisville is Louisville's a top fifteen caliber team.

1220
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 1: Probably said that last week, stand by that this week.

1221
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no no. The AP ranked South

1222
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 1: Carolina I didn't realize this. No, No, Shane Beemer, if

1223
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 1: he's out there listening, you need to do the right thing,

1224
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:43,840
Speaker 1: and you need to reject this. You need to decline

1225
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 1: the AP's invitation to be ranked. I have heard you.

1226
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 1: I have listened to Shane Beemer accurately called these people

1227
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 1: out for being asleep at the wheel over the past

1228
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:56,200
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, while we at the JP pole properly

1229
01:05:56,480 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 1: and appropriately had South Carolina power rated will we ll

1230
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:03,000
Speaker 1: inside the top twenty five? And now these people want

1231
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:08,120
Speaker 1: to show up once Novembers rolled around you just who's

1232
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 1: tibos Let's rank South Carolina today? Pathetic drugs. Pathetic South

1233
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 1: Carolina ought to have long been in the top twenty

1234
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 1: five and beyond where we will once again have them

1235
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:26,920
Speaker 1: this week like we have for several weeks. Missouri's at

1236
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:30,520
Speaker 1: twenty four. They're way too high still, But respect for

1237
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:33,919
Speaker 1: winning the game last night. And I will wrap this

1238
01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:40,480
Speaker 1: by telling you that Tulane John Somerl's Tulane has entered

1239
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 1: the AP pole at number twenty five. And what if

1240
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 1: I told you let me lean in close. The JP

1241
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:53,640
Speaker 1: pole thinks Tulane is underrated at twenty five. Rat poison,

1242
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 1: rat poison edit that part off. We can't let those

1243
01:06:57,240 --> 01:07:01,440
Speaker 1: guys hear that down there, Tulane, little sharp Fin just

1244
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:04,960
Speaker 1: off shore there, watch out for two lane. FanDuel is

1245
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 1: the exclusive odds provider of the show here. They powered

1246
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 1: the Ram and Noodle Express to a winning week. This week,

1247
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 1: had to close strong, but we won money yesterday, and

1248
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 1: they've got a lot of interesting markets that are available.

1249
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 1: You know, that ACC Championship picture moved a lot since

1250
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 1: the last time you and I spoke. So if you

1251
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:26,920
Speaker 1: still think Miami's gonna win that thing, which I do,

1252
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 1: you can go get Miami. What was it, Jesse was

1253
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 1: like minus one sixty or something like that. So really

1254
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:37,120
Speaker 1: short odds. Once you lose a game, you can get

1255
01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 1: a much better price in there. That's kind of the

1256
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:41,080
Speaker 1: way a market works. But you got Heisman over there,

1257
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:43,960
Speaker 1: you got conference championship winners, you got games this weekend.

1258
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:46,760
Speaker 1: Like I said, I checked right before I came in here.

1259
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 1: You know, Georgia is laying nine and a half against

1260
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:52,960
Speaker 1: Tennessee this Saturday. So if you think George is dead

1261
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 1: and buried and gone, Vanduel will give you Tennessee and

1262
01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 1: nine and a half points to prove it. I am

1263
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: not moving on that game tonight. But what I am

1264
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:05,160
Speaker 1: doing on the Raman Noodle Express is I am moving

1265
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 1: on another midweek matt game and it is Ohio, and

1266
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 1: I believe this is a Wednesday game, but it could

1267
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 1: be a Tuesday game whichever day it is. They are

1268
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 1: laying seven and a half against Eastern Michigan. We are

1269
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:20,040
Speaker 1: taking Ohio minus seven and a half are first bets.

1270
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 1: Like my Sunday night first game is I think nine

1271
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:28,519
Speaker 1: to two this year against the spread. I think it's

1272
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:30,639
Speaker 1: we may have only lost one of them. Anyway, we've

1273

1290
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:38,120
Speaker 1: to wrap up the show by talking about how horrible

1291
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:40,960
Speaker 1: but also how great things could get over the next month.

1292
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 1: So take my last sip of zva here. I'm not

1293
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 1: required to take a certain amount of SIPs. That stuff's

1294
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:54,040
Speaker 1: just good. I think we have to be honest with ourselves.

1295
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 1: We got some playoff chaos scenarios coming, like we got

1296
01:09:57,120 --> 01:09:59,559
Speaker 1: a logjam that could turn into an outright car wreck

1297
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:04,200
Speaker 1: in the se the sec two loss arm Ageddon is

1298
01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:07,519
Speaker 1: inching closer and closer to being a reality. And if look,

1299
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:10,160
Speaker 1: if it were mid October, I'd be the first one

1300
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 1: to say it'll work itself out. I don't know that

1301
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:16,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna work itself out because we are now rapidly,

1302
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:19,759
Speaker 1: like three weeks away from the end of the regular season.

1303
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:23,920
Speaker 1: Do you know if I just do nothing more then

1304
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:27,760
Speaker 1: simulate things, I don't have to get crazy. Let's say

1305
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:30,760
Speaker 1: Georgia beats Tennessee this Saturday, they're favored, They're favored by

1306
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:33,879
Speaker 1: over a touchdown. Let's say A and M beats Texas,

1307
01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a really tight game, and elsewhere, just

1308
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:40,640
Speaker 1: the favorites win. I mean, that's that's the way a

1309
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:43,519
Speaker 1: bunch of people would just predict the season to go. Anyway.

1310
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:47,760
Speaker 1: If that happens, no craziness, if just that happens. Do

1311
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:52,559
Speaker 1: you understand? We finished with six SEC teams tied in

1312
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:55,960
Speaker 1: the standings with two losses, and since we don't have

1313
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 1: divisions anymore, we got to go to tie breakers to

1314
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:03,479
Speaker 1: see who goes to Atlanta, and good luck trying to

1315
01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:06,400
Speaker 1: figure that out. I was talking to some officials from

1316
01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:09,280
Speaker 1: the league last night down at the Alabama LSU game.

1317
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:11,559
Speaker 1: I don't know which one of you did this over

1318
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 1: on Reddit, but someone over on Reddit made a machine,

1319
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:20,360
Speaker 1: a tie breaking prediction machine, and all you have to

1320
01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:24,080
Speaker 1: do is select the outcomes you think will be on games,

1321
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:26,479
Speaker 1: and it will tell you based on the outcomes. You

1322
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:30,040
Speaker 1: picked what the matchup would be, what the tie breakers

1323
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 1: would be. And again I don't know who did it.

1324
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:35,920
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you it is on the radar of

1325
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:39,120
Speaker 1: the SEC League office, and they looked at it and said,

1326
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:42,200
Speaker 1: we can't find a single issue with it. That thing's

1327
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:46,639
Speaker 1: very accurate. It is spitting out accurate solutions for what

1328
01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:50,120
Speaker 1: the tiebreaker would be. So I know I'm a very

1329
01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:52,640
Speaker 1: polarizing figure on Reddit, but I just want to give you,

1330
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:55,800
Speaker 1: guys your flowers. Someone over there has done a wonderful job,

1331
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:58,559
Speaker 1: so much so that the league office is not going

1332
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 1: to acknowledge you publicly, but privately they see you. The

1333
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:08,160
Speaker 1: concept of this could be wild. So I mean, I

1334
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:10,680
Speaker 1: didn't even mention Missouri because Missouri is about a two

1335
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:13,360
Speaker 1: touchdown dog this Saturday. But if they go undefeated the

1336
01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:16,280
Speaker 1: rest of the way, we could have seven two lost

1337
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:21,559
Speaker 1: teams tied atop the league standings. There that scenario I

1338
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:24,960
Speaker 1: just presented you would be Bama versus A and M

1339
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:28,080
Speaker 1: and the SEC Championship game. But we still have several

1340
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 1: different versions of this that we could see. I think

1341
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:32,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. And then the next thing that I

1342
01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:36,200
Speaker 1: want to talk to you about. Is this concept that, oh,

1343
01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:39,040
Speaker 1: the conference championship game, the loser is not gonna get

1344
01:12:39,080 --> 01:12:42,760
Speaker 1: punished the conference championship game loser, that's a variable. No,

1345
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:45,759
Speaker 1: it's not, Josh, No, it's not. You heard Ward Manual

1346
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:48,080
Speaker 1: the other night, right the chair of the playoff committee.

1347
01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 1: He said, we can't be punishing this is paraphrased, we

1348
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:55,760
Speaker 1: can't be punishing teams that make the conference title game

1349
01:12:55,800 --> 01:13:00,200
Speaker 1: and then lose. Okay, well, I somewhat believe you show

1350
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:02,479
Speaker 1: me that. Brad Crawford tweet, by the way, from earlier today,

1351
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 1: Brad put this out. He said, we got an SEC

1352
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 1: chaos scenario unfolding. Let's say Texas wins the SEC. Which

1353
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:14,679
Speaker 1: of these four teams is left out Bama? So let's

1354
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:17,720
Speaker 1: say Bama goes to Atlanta, they lose to Texas in

1355
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:20,760
Speaker 1: the SEC title game. They're ten and three, their best

1356
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:22,679
Speaker 1: win is Georgia. Well, I'm telling you they're not leaving

1357
01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 1: Bama out because that would mean leaving the SEC champion

1358
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:28,280
Speaker 1: runner up out and they're not going to do that.

1359
01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:31,280
Speaker 1: So in this scenario, Texas is in because they won

1360
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 1: the league. I think Bama would be in because they

1361
01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:36,160
Speaker 1: played for the League title, Ole Miss at ten and two,

1362
01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:40,040
Speaker 1: when they beat Georgia, they're in. They're in. There's no

1363
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 1: question in my mind. Tennessee at ten and two, they

1364
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:48,120
Speaker 1: beat Alabama, Yeah, Tennessee would be in as well. Georgia

1365
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:51,920
Speaker 1: at ten and two, beat Tennessee and beat Texas. My

1366
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:55,120
Speaker 1: answer is Georgia would also be in. Close your ears,

1367
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 1: Daniel Canell, every one of them would be in. Guys,

1368
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:01,320
Speaker 1: in this scenario, my answer is, none of them are

1369
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:03,479
Speaker 1: left out. They're all gonna be in, and you know

1370
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:06,639
Speaker 1: what they all should be in. So then as soon

1371
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:08,840
Speaker 1: as I say that, you're gonna come at me and say, well,

1372
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:11,439
Speaker 1: who you gonna leave out? Well, you'd have to show

1373
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:15,040
Speaker 1: me the field. But I'm telling you this is where

1374
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:17,200
Speaker 1: I just got to be honest and where I get

1375
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 1: very unpopular if it comes down to that versus like

1376
01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:23,800
Speaker 1: an at large team, like an Army or you know,

1377
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:26,080
Speaker 1: Boyse he gets the G five nod and Armies out

1378
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:30,040
Speaker 1: there undefeated. Yeah, I'm putting them in over Army. It's

1379
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:33,240
Speaker 1: not anti American, it's not anti troop. It's just pro

1380
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 1: logic and understanding. I want to see the best teams

1381
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:40,280
Speaker 1: in the playoff and I want to see the most

1382
01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:42,600
Speaker 1: deserving teams in the playoff, and believe it or not,

1383
01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:44,920
Speaker 1: it's possible to lose two games and me more deserving

1384
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:48,000
Speaker 1: than an undefeated from a different level of competition. So

1385
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:51,040
Speaker 1: the way I think this is gonna go is, I

1386
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:54,240
Speaker 1: think there will be one ACC team in this. I

1387
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:56,200
Speaker 1: think there will be one Big twelve team in this.

1388
01:14:56,760 --> 01:14:59,599
Speaker 1: I think Notre Dame will be in this. I think

1389
01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:01,639
Speaker 1: the G five team will be in this. And then

1390
01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:04,320
Speaker 1: I think there will be eight spots left, and I

1391
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:06,480
Speaker 1: think the Big Ten is gonna get three of them,

1392
01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:08,960
Speaker 1: and I think the SEC will get five of them.

1393
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 1: If I had to guess how things shake out, that's

1394
01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 1: how I think they'll shake out as of today. But

1395
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:18,240
Speaker 1: going back to that point about the conference title loser

1396
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:22,719
Speaker 1: not being punished, they're probably lying to you. They're probably

1397
01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:26,719
Speaker 1: lying PuF because it's probably conditional. The SEC won't get punished,

1398
01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:28,800
Speaker 1: the Big Ten won't get punished. But it is my

1399
01:15:28,920 --> 01:15:32,920
Speaker 1: belief that Brigham Young could go undefeated. But if they

1400
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:35,840
Speaker 1: go to Dallas and they lose, they're not gonna be

1401
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 1: one of the twelve. Whoever beats them will be in

1402
01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:41,559
Speaker 1: because they're the conference champ. I don't think they're putting

1403
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:44,280
Speaker 1: a second Big twelve team in in that scenario, the

1404
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:47,559
Speaker 1: ACC championship game, loser I think will drop out. If

1405
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:52,680
Speaker 1: Miami or SMU go into that game and each of

1406
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:56,799
Speaker 1: them is around the top twelve or in the top twelve,

1407
01:15:57,040 --> 01:15:59,439
Speaker 1: I think the loser would be out. So I think

1408
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:03,519
Speaker 1: you absolutely can be punished for being in those conference

1409
01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:06,840
Speaker 1: championship games and losing. But here's a really interesting thing

1410
01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:09,719
Speaker 1: that I think we start have to We start having

1411
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:13,719
Speaker 1: to shed more and more light on if the G five.

1412
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:17,760
Speaker 1: So let's just say Boise. If Boise goes and they

1413
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:24,920
Speaker 1: win themselves the Mountain West Conference championship, and Colorado goes

1414
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:27,200
Speaker 1: on and wins the Big twelve, and they're both favored

1415
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:29,559
Speaker 1: to do those things. Right now, you know, there is

1416
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:34,080
Speaker 1: a world where the committee has Boise ranked higher than Colorado,

1417
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:37,479
Speaker 1: and so Boise ends up being one of the four

1418
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 1: highest ranked conference champs, and Boise gets the number four

1419
01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:45,800
Speaker 1: seed and Boise gets a first round by Colorado's out

1420
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:49,040
Speaker 1: there having to play a first round game. I don't

1421
01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 1: think if that happens, Colorado's just automatically the twelve seed.

1422
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:54,040
Speaker 1: I actually think that'd be like the nine or ten

1423
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:56,040
Speaker 1: seed or something like that. And the reason I mentioned

1424
01:16:56,040 --> 01:17:00,360
Speaker 1: that is because every bracket that's been filled out largely

1425
01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:04,280
Speaker 1: at least, has shown you that the number five seed

1426
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:06,320
Speaker 1: is going to be the loser of the Big ten

1427
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:09,240
Speaker 1: title game or the loser of the SEC title game.

1428
01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:12,200
Speaker 1: So like it's Texas or it's Ohio State, and every

1429
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:14,720
Speaker 1: one of those brackets shows you what. It shows you

1430
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:18,920
Speaker 1: that five seed playing the twelve seed, and the twelve

1431
01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 1: seed has always been the G five team. So you go,

1432
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:23,360
Speaker 1: you get to beat up on a G five team,

1433
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:27,000
Speaker 1: and then you play the four seed as the next round,

1434
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:30,360
Speaker 1: and that four seed is like the Big twelve champ.

1435
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 1: And so a lot of these brackets have made people

1436
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:35,360
Speaker 1: rightly look and say, oh wow, I want that five

1437
01:17:35,400 --> 01:17:39,040
Speaker 1: seed would be double digit favorites in both of those games. Yeah,

1438
01:17:39,080 --> 01:17:40,800
Speaker 1: we got to play an extra game, but bring it on,

1439
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:44,760
Speaker 1: we'll take it. I need you to understand it's not

1440
01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:47,240
Speaker 1: cemented that way. It's not just locked in that way.

1441
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 1: Boise Boise could continue winning and get one of the buys,

1442
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 1: get one of the top four seeds, and let me

1443
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:58,560
Speaker 1: tell you what could happen. Ohio State goes to Indianapolis,

1444
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:03,600
Speaker 1: loses a hard fought against Oregon, or Oregon loses a

1445
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:06,680
Speaker 1: hard fought game against Ohio State. So Oregons, let's just

1446
01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:09,719
Speaker 1: say that happens. Oregon's played out of their mind all year.

1447
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:12,719
Speaker 1: They earn the right to go to the conference title game,

1448
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:15,160
Speaker 1: they go in there as the number one overall seed,

1449
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:22,599
Speaker 1: they lose close, they're probably the five seed, and instead

1450
01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:24,439
Speaker 1: of looking up and saying, all right, we got a

1451
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:27,120
Speaker 1: favorable draw, Well, we get our act together, we'll go

1452
01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:29,320
Speaker 1: win this thing, you know what they could be looking at.

1453
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:31,200
Speaker 1: They could be looking at a first round matchup against

1454
01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 1: Alabama or Georgia, because those teams could be sitting there

1455
01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:37,759
Speaker 1: as the twelve seed in that scenario, It's what I'm saying,

1456
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 1: and that five seed conversation could alter drastically. If one

1457
01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 1: of these G five teams like boys, he ends up

1458
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:50,360
Speaker 1: getting the first round by. That's something to take a

1459
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:53,599
Speaker 1: look at. Man. And I also say this, now, if

1460
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:56,559
Speaker 1: you think the SEC or the Big ten is gonna

1461
01:18:56,560 --> 01:19:00,639
Speaker 1: sit by quietly and watch a G five team lock

1462
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:04,320
Speaker 1: up a first round by, you are outside your mind.

1463
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:07,559
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they can prevent it this year, but

1464
01:19:07,600 --> 01:19:10,479
Speaker 1: they can indicate strongly behind the scenes if you let

1465
01:19:10,479 --> 01:19:13,800
Speaker 1: this go down, then don't blame us for what we

1466
01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:16,040
Speaker 1: do in two years when we've got a look in

1467
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:18,919
Speaker 1: clause and we could take our ball and go elsewhere.

1468
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:22,559
Speaker 1: All that's on the table. Should it matter, no, Will

1469
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:26,240
