1
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: And just like that, we're back in another edition of

2
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: the Late Kick Extra podcast where jam packed and you

3
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna save the intro for a little

4
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: bit later. Let's just dive right in. Why don't we

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: hot start here? First? Up this morning, Kyle, he hits

6
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: us with this, do you think Florida State is poised

7
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: for a bounce back season? Ie? A respectable bull bid,

8
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: nothing crazy. I was throwing this question around to Colin

9
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: earlier today and Colin, as he has one to do,

10
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: doesn't even look up. He just says, well, can't get

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: much worse than five and seven last year, can it?

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: And I said, you know what, Colin, unless I come

13
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: up with something better, that's probably going to be my answer.

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: I think he's right, So I think there will be

15
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: a respectable improvement list this year. Now, for those who

16
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: have forgotten, I know Florida State fans haven't Florida State

17
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: last year was five and seven. Now, I thought, going

18
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: into the last week, which of course they used to

19
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: play Florida every year, I thought that if they would

20
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: have won that game, which they lost twenty four to

21
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: twenty one, I thought, if they won that game, the

22
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: entire perception of the season would have been different. They

23
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: would have gone from five to seven to six and six.

24
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: They would have been Bowl eligible. You would have gotten

25
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: to talk about your fifteen extra practices, which everyone loves

26
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: to focus on in December as a result of the

27
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: bowl game, and then who knows, they may have won

28
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: the bowl game and they would have been seven and

29
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: six as opposed to five and seven. That's a mountain

30
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: of difference. But that's not how it happened. Five and

31
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: seven was how it went down. Here's the important thing

32
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: to note that if you get into the weeds a

33
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: little bit, you realize it is different about Mike Norvel

34
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: at Florida State and the way he's handled things. Mike

35
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: Norvel did not come in there and say we're going

36
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: to turn this around overnight. He didn't. Bud Elliott's talked

37
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: about this a lot. He's very close to that program.

38
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: Mike Norvel did the opposite. Mike Norvel came in there

39
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: and he let people know. And when I say people,

40
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: I mean the ones with deep pockets, the ones in

41
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: many respects who were responsible for hiring him. He let

42
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: him know, you got to mess on your hands. I'm

43
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: your head coach. I got a mess on my hands. Now,

44
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: we're going to try and win as quickly as popossible.

45
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: They leveraged the portal, so they did the things necessary

46
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: to try to win quickly. But he said, we're not

47
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: doing it overnight. We're not going to microwave it here.

48
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: We're going to take time. That's me turn the oven on.

49
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: We're turning the oven on. Then we got to let

50
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: it heat up. Okay, we got to let the ingredients

51
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: over here though. It just takes a little while to

52
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: make the kind of quality meal that you want and

53
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: the kind of product that they want down there. But

54
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: we're not asking them to win ten games. The question

55
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: was will there be respectable improvement? Yeah, I don't think

56
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: it's out of the realm of possibility to expect them

57
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: to make a Bowl game this year or or win

58
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: seven games. We're three years in now. It's kind of

59
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: weird because the first year was the COVID year and

60
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: he didn't get spring. They were one of those new

61
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: staffs that also didn't get spring, which is a nightmare.

62
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: But they're three years in now. Let's be real with ourselves.

63
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: It's still the Atlantic Coast Conference. If you're watching the

64
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: video portion that we put on YouTube. You're looking at

65
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: the schedule right now. They open against Ducane, which some

66
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: people still try to pronounce Dukezna, according to sources close

67
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: to the situation back home. But then they play at

68
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 1: Florida State. But they've got so many workable games here.

69
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: There aren't very many landmines on the schedule where you

70
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: look and you start to pencil in the l already.

71
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it right now. Louisville, Boston College, Waite Forest,

72
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 1: NC State comes in, Georgia Tech, Miami, Syracuse, Louisana, Florida.

73
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: There there just aren't a whole lot of well, we

74
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: better get these others because we're not getting that one.

75
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: So yes, seven or eight wins. I don't think it's

76
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: too much to ask. I think it's reasonable, And I

77
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: also think it's a healthy balance, your three, healthy balance.

78
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 1: Let's try and win us eight games this year. It's

79
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: not your one, it's your three. So you told us

80
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: what the deal is, Mike Norvel, we're telling you now, Okay,

81
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: we gave you time. Give us a little bit, just

82
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of return on investment. We need a

83
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: ray of sunshine. It's been cloudy. We just need a

84
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: ray of sunshine. We don't need to get sunburned today,

85
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: but we need a ray of sunshine. Thank you so

86
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: much for being tuned in. I'm just trying something different

87
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: this morning. And when I say this morning, it means

88
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: as we're recording, you can listen to it inn the

89
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: old time you want to. But this is the Late

90
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: Kick Extra podcast. It is, of course college football year round.

91
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: We don't do the O word around here. We whisper

92
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: it when we do have to talk about it, and

93
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: that is, of course season. I got to do a

94
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: promo read when we get done recording, and they want

95
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: me to say the word and the promo read, and

96
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: I told management, I may say it, but I'm gonna

97
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: have to whisper it. I asked you a favor the

98
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: other day on Late Kick Live, which is also available

99
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: in podcast form, and you did it, and I want

100
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: to ask you again because it worked. All I asked

101
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: you to do was subscribe to the pod. That's it. Obviously,

102
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: if you're listening right now, you have downloaded the episode,

103
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: which helps us greatly. I appreciate that. Do me one

104
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: more little favor. If you're on Spotify, Apple, wherever you listen,

105
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: just subscribe to the pod. It's free. Nothing else happens,

106
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: but it does help us internally, and you guys did

107
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: it apparently by the millions and millions and millions the

108
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: other day. It looks like because we got a really

109
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: really good bump. So thank you for that. That's it.

110
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: That's all. I'm Josh Pate. Let's get back to it

111
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: mail bag. If you want to submit questions, by the way,

112
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: at late Kick Josh on Twitter and Instagram, and we

113
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: got a bunch of them this morning. We jam this

114
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: thing as packed as we possibly can, so let's move

115
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: it on here. That's enough from me begging you to subscribe,

116
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: although you really should subscribe if we're being honest, all right.

117
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: Next up is Jordan. Jordan asks if you had a

118
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: favorite team and they just hired a new coach starting

119
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, what would you prefer. So we're

120
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: Payate State University, we got a new hire. Do we

121
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: want an offensive minded coach? Or do we want a

122
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: defensive minded coach? And to be honest with you, Jordan,

123
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: I don't have a strong feel on this. I guess

124
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: I'm in the minority. I don't really care that much

125
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: about which side of the ball you specialize on. It

126
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: seems like everyone else has got a strong take on this.

127
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: Here's my take. I want you to play a certain

128
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: style of football. I don't want to hire a pinball coach.

129
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to hire a guy whose modus operandi

130
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: is that his teams have had to score forty five

131
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: to have a chance to win. So I don't want that.

132
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: I also don't want a guy who, you know, bristles

133
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: at the notion of the forward pass. I don't want that.

134
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: But you could be an offensive guy or a defensive

135
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: guy like Nick Saban's a defensive guy. His offenses have

136
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: rewritten the college football record books recently, So what does

137
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: that really mean? Could you tell watching Alabama games that

138
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: Saban was a defensive guy. No, so I don't really

139
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: care about that. Here's why I mentioned Saban, and this

140
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: is how I would hire if I were at Payte State. Yeah,

141
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: I'd go get Nick Saban if you were available. But

142
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: what I want is I want a guy who understands

143
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: the bigger picture. So when I interview a head coach, sure,

144
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: I want to know what your overall philosophy is. I

145
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: want to know if you're a defensive guy, how would

146
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: you hire offensively. That's one of the first things I

147
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: want to know. Actually, how do you hire on the

148
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: opposite side of the ball from the side you specialize on.

149
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: How much do you believe in delegating responsibility? How much

150
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: are you involved in the opposite side of the ball's

151
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: day to day preparation and in game implementation. Yeah? I

152
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: want to know all that, but you want to know

153
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: what else I want to know? And this is really

154
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: paramount in today's game, more so than it ever has been.

155
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: Do you have at least a working knowledge of marketing?

156
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: Do you have at least a work knowledge of public relations?

157
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: Do you have at the very least I'm not asking

158
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: you to be an expert, but do you have a

159
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: working knowledge of economics? Do you have a working knowledge

160
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: of how the entire nil game is played? What are

161
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: your people skills? How much is my donor class going

162
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: to be able to interact with you reasonably? That stuff

163
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: matters because you're no longer just making your living on

164
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: a grease board and in the living rooms of seventeen

165
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: year old kids. You're now the face of my organization.

166
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: And I would hire you, and I would vet you

167
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: while I was hiring you the same way I would

168
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,119
Speaker 1: if I were putting you in my CEO's chair, because

169
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: that's what you are now, and I think for a

170
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: long time, maybe in some cases up until today, a

171
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: lot of programs still view their head coach as just

172
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: a football coach. That's not what you are anymore. Whenever

173
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: I have head coaches on the show, I asked Mario

174
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: Christopaul a couple of weeks ago, explain to people. I

175
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: guess I urged him to explain to people how different

176
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: the role is from what people perceive it to be.

177
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: He said, only a fraction of a fraction of my

178
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: time is spent on football, actual on field football related matters.

179
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: A whole huge chunk of my average day is spent

180
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: on all kinds of administrative things of this nature and

181
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: that nature. I want a guy who gets the big picture.

182
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: I want a guy who knows people. I want a

183
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: guy who has leadership qualities, and I want a guy

184
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: who can display that when I'm interviewing him. So if

185
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: that's a defensive guy, if that's an offensive guy, I

186
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: don't really care. I'm fifty one forty nine either way

187
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: on that. I want a guy who has leadership qualities.

188
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: I want someone that when my other coaches look at him,

189
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: they say, Yep, that's a guy I'll go into battle

190
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: with and I'll go into battle for. And that's a

191
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: rare commodity. Most don't have it, and you got to

192
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: be pretty shrewd yourself when you're interviewing guys to know

193
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: which ones do have it and don't have it. But

194
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: the think about it is, when you're sitting across from

195
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to use one of the most overused terms

196
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: in the world today, when you're sitting across from an

197
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: alpha person. You're sitting across from a guy with discernible

198
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: leadership traits and characteristics. You don't have to guess. See

199
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: if you're having a guess whether they got them, they

200
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: probably don't have them, or at least not developed to

201
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: the point where you need them to be the head

202
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: coach at Minnesota or Auburn or South Carolina. But if

203
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: they do have them, you leave that interview and you say, Janey,

204
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: cross the rest of my appointments off. We got our guy,

205
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: And that's how I would hire at Peate State. My

206
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: secretary's name is Janie. Welcome to Pate State. Janey love

207
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: her love Jennie next up this morning slash evening, afternoon whenever.

208
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: Good for you asks when you are judging a team's

209
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: strength of schedule and you look at where their opponents

210
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: were ranked, do you judge them where they were ranked

211
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: when you played them or where they are ranked currently?

212
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,599
Speaker 1: This is a great question. This is one of the

213
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: most misunderstood aspects of college football. This is why I

214
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: believe this is the role of Vegas should play in

215
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: college football strength of scheduling. It's just that that's where

216
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: they should be involved. Strength to schedule. You got some

217
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: people who would argue, ooh Las Vegas should be involved

218
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: in the college football playoff selection process, and I agree,

219
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: But then they say, yeah, for instance, your record against

220
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: the spread should be taken into account. No, it shouldn't.

221
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: That's foolishness. That's an arbitrary metric that has nothing to

222
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: do with you on the field, because it's not apples

223
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: to apples. More is expected of Ohio State than is

224
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: expected of Wisconsin. Maybe not my much, but that's the

225
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: way it is. Bruce hornsby reference. And so if Ohio

226
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,239
Speaker 1: State is two and five against the spread and Wisconsin's

227
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: five and two, that automatically mean Wisconsin's better team, So

228
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: get that out of here. But what I mean is

229
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: when I say Vegas should be involved, it's when we

230
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: get to the end of the year. This is why

231
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 1: I cannot watch the playoff show that ESPN does. I

232
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: can't watch it because I have to listen to Playoff

233
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: committee members and then folks on a panel in some

234
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: cases that don't know any better. Tell me about how

235
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 1: many ranked wins a team has, how many wins against

236
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: top twenty or top twenty five teams does this team have?

237
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: And it It's why I look like I do. I've

238
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: pulled my hair out. I don't. I don't. I'm not

239
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: in the process of doing it. It's past tense. It's

240
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: already been done. I've pulled my hair out listening to

241
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: that because I don't believe in it. I don't believe

242
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: that's the proper way to gauge the strength of a team. Schedule.

243
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you two examples from this past year,

244
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: and I want you to think along with me. Where

245
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: were you? For example, in Week two, Arkansas played Texas.

246
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 1: In Week two, Texas came into Reynolds Razorback Stadium and

247
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: they the entire stadium was on fire. It was an

248
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: electric atmosphere. Texas was undefeated. Obviously they just beat Louisiana,

249
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: remember convincingly in week one. That was a game everyone

250
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: had Texas on upset alert for Texas wins. Texas is

251
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: highly ranked and they're highly race and this is important word.

252
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: Those aren't the same. Ranking and rating are not the same.

253
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: So Texas goes in there. Arkansas thumped them, and remember

254
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: how you felt that night. I want you to vividly

255
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,599
Speaker 1: think back. Remember how you felt that night when you

256
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: watched Arkansas just thump Texas. You thought to yourself, rightfully,

257
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: so that's a high caliber win, that's a quality win,

258
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: and you were right. Here's the mistake a lot of

259
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: people made. They didn't freeze that opinion. This is my opinion.

260
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: You ought to freeze that opinion and then set it

261
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: on a countertop somewhere. Don't touch it, because what happens

262
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 1: is you get later in the year, and then external

263
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 1: factors and circumstances that happen after you played Arkansas happened

264
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: to Texas and they start losing more games, and a

265
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 1: bunch of injuries probably pop up, as is often the case,

266
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, they end up a beaten

267
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: up team that has several losses down the road, and

268
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: people look back on Arkansas's resume and they say, turns

269
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: out that win wasn't what we thought it was. Yes,

270
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: it was. You allowed yourself to get fooled because the

271
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 1: fact of the matter is the Texas that Kansas faced

272
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: is not the same Texas that Arkansas faced. Emotionally and physically,

273
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: they're not the same team anymore. Another famous example before

274
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 1: we go to the third one or the other one

275
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: from this past year, is back a couple of years ago,

276
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: I think twenty seventeen. I remember I went to the

277
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: opener in Atlanta and it was Alabama Florida State, both

278
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: top four teams. I think it was like number two

279
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: versus number four or something like that, and Bama beats

280
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 1: Florida State and they knocked DeAndre Francois out of the game,

281
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: out for the season, and it ended up that Florida

282
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: State season went off the rails. And I will never forget.

283
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: This is when this opinion was born in my mind,

284
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: when I started watching towards the end of the year,

285
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: because remember that was the year Bama they didn't win

286
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: the SEC, but They still made the playoff, but a

287
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: lot of people were arguing they shouldn't make the playoff

288
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: they don't have any quality wins, or they don't have

289
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: any top ten ranked wins. Did they beat Florida State

290
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: that was a top ten win. But then some folks

291
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: over in this corner said, oh, look, Florida State's not

292
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: even ranked. Well, I know they're not ranked, but that

293
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: only matters to me if Bama played them last week.

294
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: They didn't. They played them full strength, hair on fire,

295
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: all the goals in front of them in Week one.

296
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: You think maybe Bama got a little bit stronger pushback

297
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: from Florida State than Florida got from them thirteen or

298
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: fourteen weeks later. I think so without their quarterback, I

299
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: think so. Jimbo Fisher on his way out the door, Yeah,

300
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: I think so. So I remember that and I said

301
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: to myself, well, how do we resolve this. The way

302
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: we resolve it is we take Vegas and we bring

303
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: them in the room. And how we do this is

304
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: we ask las Vegas put a power rating on these

305
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: teams that are about to play on this field on

306
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: this given day. So let's go to Alabama Florida from

307
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: this past year. For example, Bama goes to Florida. It

308
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: was Week three and they go down there and they

309
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: got past Florida thirty one to twenty nine. It was

310
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: one of the great atmosphere this season. I hated I

311
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: couldn't be there. It was only one place we could

312
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: be on a given Saturday, and I remember some of

313
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: the Bama players were talking about how incredible the atmosphere is,

314
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: how inspired the performance from Florida was. They had just

315
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: played in the SEC title game of year before, and

316
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: so that day. What I would love to do in

317
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: my world is I would love to have a Vegas

318
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: odds maker, people who are responsible for getting it right

319
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: with their jobs on the line, tell me how good

320
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: is Florida that day? How good is Alabama that day?

321
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: When they play? How good are they? Define that, then

322
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: have the game play out, and then grade those teams

323
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: and define the caliber and quality of that win, and

324
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: then freeze it. And nothing that happens down the road

325
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: when Dan Mullen's on the hot seat and players start

326
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: opting out, players get hurt, and you're not the team

327
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: you were earlier in the year. Nothing about that can

328
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: devalue the win you heading against Florida from two months prior,

329
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: because that's stupid, and so that's how I define it.

330
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: I like to freeze the value of a win in

331
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: the present moment, and then I don't like to go

332
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: back and touch it. There's one exception to this rule,

333
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: and the exception is if it is so blatantly obvious

334
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: a team was a poser, then maybe I will I

335
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: will manually override. And that's a very rare exception. But

336
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: there's another thing that could happen. It could be that

337
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: in retrospect, we look back and we say, we didn't

338
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: know the team you beat in Week two was as

339
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: good as they were. Now. I'm fine with that. I'm

340
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: fine with upgrading the caliber of the win you had.

341
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: Or let's say you get beat by a team and

342
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: they weren't ranked at the time, but all of a

343
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: sudden they've gone on to be a top ten team. Well,

344
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, that loss doesn't look that bad.

345
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that because the

346
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: external factors don't impact you and make you better. They

347
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: could only knock you down and make you worse after

348
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: I played you. So I can go back and retroactively

349
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: add value to a win. I'm not about devaluing stuff

350
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: only on the rarest of occasions. So I to answer

351
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: the question, I determine the value based on what you

352
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: were at the time. But it's not just what you

353
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: were ranked, it's what you were rated. How would I

354
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: power rate you at the time. That's how I decide,

355
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,959
Speaker 1: that long winded way of saying, I'm not happy with

356
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: the way the conversation currently currently happens in that avenue.

357
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: All right, let's gather ourselves. Let's move on. Who's up next?

358
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: James is up next? James asks favorite restaurants from any

359
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: of my college football road trips. This will disappoint a

360
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: lot of you. I mean, you think to yourself, this

361
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: guy's got a dream job, which I do, and it

362
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: takes me to any game I choose to go to

363
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: every week, which takes me to some of the great

364
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: college towns and great cities. Therefore in America, and the

365
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: culinary scenes are off the charts and very eclectic. Town

366
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: to town. You go to Austin, Texas and you go

367
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: to State College, Pennsylvania, they're not the same town. And

368
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: that's a good thing. So you get a wide variety

369
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: of the entire spectrum on the culinary scene, and then

370
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: you have someone like me, and I don't take advantage

371
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 1: of it at all, And I go to these towns

372
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,959
Speaker 1: on Fridays. I don't get to fly in earlier, so

373
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: I go into the town on Friday. A lot of

374
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: times it's later at night, and the first thing on

375
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: my mind is let me get to my hotel room.

376
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: And then the next thing on my mind is, all right, well,

377
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: let's find whatever's left open. Uber eats time, and I

378
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: don't really have an opportunity to take in the scene,

379
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: the culinary scene like I would if I got there

380
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: on Thursday night, because we're doing a show on Thursday night,

381
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: so I can't afford to go on Thursday unless we

382
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: do the show from there, which could be a change

383
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: we make this upcoming year. TBD. Well, here's how sad

384
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: that life becomes. You hear all the great stories about

385
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: the restaurants, but you never get to see any So

386
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: I'm not playing around when I tell you what I'm

387
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 1: about to tell you. The most memoried this is so sad.

388
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: The most memorable dining experience that I had from this

389
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: past season that was not in a press box was

390
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: in Detroit, Michigan. It was before Ohio State Michigan. Now,

391
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: I know this is a podcast and most of you

392
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: just listen via audio and Colin just looped the video.

393
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: But this is one of those situations where I would

394
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: encourage you to go on the YouTube channel and check

395
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: out the individual video we're going to put up, because

396
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: we're going to put up just this cut of this question,

397
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: and the reason you're going to want to see it

398
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: is because there is a restaurant in the airport Marriott.

399
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: So Detroit has a couple of Marriotts, and this is

400
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: whichever Marriott I stayed at, and there is a lounge, restaurant,

401
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: lounge that's called Maryland's Lounge. It's right there in the

402
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: lobby of the Detroit Airport Marriott. Why is it called

403
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: Marylynd's Lounge. Well, I found out and I shot video

404
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: of it, Eyjosh video vertical, not even horizontal. I'm sitting

405
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: at the bar in this place. Who's that plane? NC State?

406
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 1: Someone's playing there on a Friday night And I find

407
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: out the reason this place is called Marylyn's Lounge is

408
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: because there is a Marilyn Monroe impersonator striking resemblance might

409
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: I add, there's a Marylynd Monroe and personator who just

410
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: saunters about the bar in the restaurant, talking to the

411
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: locals there and the people passing through. And this is

412
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: not a crowded establishment, so you know, probably fifteen percent capacity,

413
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: So she gets into conversation with everyone. I chatted her up.

414
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: The best I could tell her name was Maryland. If

415
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: she didn't tell me any other name could have been

416
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: her stage name. I am inclined to believe that she's

417
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: got pictures of Marilyn Monroe all over the walls. Great Burger,

418
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: Great Burger. So it was a good meal, but the

419
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: experience will last a lifetime. Maryland's lounge at the Marriott

420
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: attached nearby to the Detroit Airport. Now, I told you

421
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: it was going to be sad. That's the best story

422
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: I have for you. So we have to improve our

423
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: quality of life on the road this fall. I have

424
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 1: to get into Town's earlier than Friday night, because it

425
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: is imperative. I have a better answer for you this

426
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: time next year. That's one step up from saying there's

427
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 1: a Great Burger king on the bypass exit. I can't

428
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: do that to you. I owe you more than that.

429
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: So here's my ideal world. I get into your town

430
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: on Thursday. I've asked you on Wednesday, where should I

431
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: go eat? We run a pole for just the locals there,

432
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,959
Speaker 1: and then I go wherever you tell me to go.

433
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: That would be a great world. And I highly suspect

434
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 1: those of you in Michigan would have sent me many places.

435
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: Maryland's Lounge, Marriott Airport next to Detroit Airport, probably not

436
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: going to be the place you send me, but that's

437
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: the memory. And I did at least have video, so

438
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: you know, bring the elements back if you want to

439
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: talk about it. That's what they always tell me. What

440
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: a life we're living. Oh, I wouldn't trade it for

441
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: the world. I would trade it for a Thursday arrival though.

442
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: Let's move on here. Next question, here's Jay. Jay asks

443
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: how hard would it be for conferences to work out

444
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: a challenge weekend like we have in basketball? Imagine how

445
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: popular a big ten versus acc weekend slate of games

446
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: would be. Thanks for the content, hashtag peate state at

447
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: Hashtag's important. Put that payt state in there. It bumps

448
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 1: you right to the front of the line. I want this.

449
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: I want what Jay is asking for a lot of

450
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: you have talked about this in basketball, you just got

451
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: a random week where all of a sudden, it's the

452
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 1: Big Ten SEC Challenge and teams from one conference are

453
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: playing teams from the other conference. How would you do

454
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: this in football? I don't think it's that difficult to

455
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,239
Speaker 1: pull off. Conceptually. That's like pulling teeth trying to ever

456
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: get actual meaningful change in this game. Meaningful change, not change.

457
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: A lot of stuff changes most of the stuff I

458
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: don't want to change, but this would be good change.

459
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: I figure you'd have to put this at the beginning

460
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: of the year. Everyone's playing out of conference games. Usually

461
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: you're playing out of conference games week one of the

462
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: season anyway, So why not have partnerships amongst conferences? Why

463
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 1: not have, for instance, the SEC and the Big Ten

464
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: hook up. Now, this to me is where you would

465
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: inject a little bit of competitive balancing within the sport.

466
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: Because what you could have is you could have seeding.

467
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: You could see your conference based on last year's results

468
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: one through fourteen, and therefore you'd have Bama and Ohio

469
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: State play to start the year. You'd have Michigan and

470
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: A and M play to start the year. Penn State

471
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: versus Georgia start the year, you know, Michigan State, LSU,

472
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: wisconsinsin Florida. Now you may say to yourself, well, that's

473
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: not fair, because the worst you did the previous year, theoretically,

474
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: the more advantageous draw you have to start the following year.

475
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 1: And that's true, And that would be sort of a very,

476
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: very very poor man's version of what the NFL draft does.

477
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: You win the Super Bowl, you're drafting thirty second in

478
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: the first round the next year. This wouldn't even be

479
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: remotely comparable to that in terms of truly handicapping you

480
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: based on your success, but it would resemble that we

481
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: don't have a mechanism like that. Every other mechanism in

482
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 1: college football, which I'm fine with, is built to reward success.

483
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: In fact, I prefer it that way. This is one

484
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: little thing that we can insert that accomplishes a couple

485
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: of different goals. Number one, it gets you, guys a

486
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: little bit more competitive balance in theory. But number two,

487
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: you're guaranteed to give us high quality products to start

488
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: the year, high quality out of conference products to start

489
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: the year. And I don't really care where you put

490
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: the games. I just assume the first two weeks, let's say,

491
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: of the season, would be the most prime opportunity, because

492
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: once you get in conference play, then things aren't congruent.

493
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: Then you gotta worry about the bye weeks, you gotta

494
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 1: worry about the number of teams. You have a whole

495
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: bunch of different stuff. Some games are fixed on certain dates,

496
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: Some teams have to play other teams, so it's a

497
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: big mess. I'm not a schedule maker for obvious reasons,

498
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: but I would love to see that. Imagine that. Imagine

499
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: knowing already your Week one opponent based on the way

500
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: the schedule finishes in the previous season. You're watching rivalry

501
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: week and you know, we just locked up the number

502
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: three seed. We ended up being the number three seed.

503
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: Who's finishing over here? Is that Michigan State. No Wisconsin,

504
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 1: No Michigan State. Got it? Okay? That means we're playing

505
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: Michigan State week one. I guess all. At that point

506
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: you have to figure out is the venue? Maybe neutral site,

507
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: I prefer on campus, but that's it's a great scenario.

508
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: There's no one out there that thinks that's a bad idea,

509
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: or if you do, I'd love to hear from you.

510
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: I'm all for what gives us a better product. At

511
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: the end of the day, this is an entertainment product.

512
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: That's what it is. I told you this. We're were

513
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: on a little mini rant about this a couple of

514
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Everyone says this game is about the players.

515
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: It's about the fan. Because if you've got a pack

516
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: stadium and a middle linebacker walks off the field, just

517
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: put another middle linebacker out there at middle linebacker. It

518
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: could be one hundred of them on the field. If

519
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: you don't have any fans in the stands, you don't

520
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: have a product. So this is an entertainment product at

521
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: its very core, and I would love to have a

522
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: more entertaining product. That's what I'm looking for. So great question,

523
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: great idea. We'll probably never see it just because of

524
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: how great it is. Moving on, next question. Next suggestion

525
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: that was more suggestions. Guess College Football Unlimited asks us

526
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: if you could never watch college football games in person again,

527
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: or never see a tornado in person again? Which are

528
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: you choosing? A lot of you are not storm chasers

529
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: like me, so this is an easy answer. Well, this

530
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: is not an easy answer for me. In fact, I'm

531
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: still thinking about it as we speak. I told myself

532
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 1: I'd arrive at a conclusion before we came on air,

533
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: but I'm not at a conclusion. Seeing a tornado in

534
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: person is the most incredible experience you will ever have.

535
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: I've actually got Colin. I gave him video of the

536
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: last tornado that we intercepted. He's rolling it right now.

537
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: If you're watching the individual video of this. This is

538
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: from Billingsley, Alabama last year. By the way, we confirmed

539
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 1: this one for the National Weather Service EF one tornado.

540
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: So this is insane. If you've never seen a tornado

541
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: in person. I can't really accurately articulate the power, the majesty,

542
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: the violence, especially towards the base. It doesn't come across

543
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: on film. Even the high resolution four K stuff doesn't

544
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: capture it. It's terrifying, so humbling. Let you know how

545
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: small you are and lets you know how vulnerable you are.

546
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 1: But man, the adrenaline rush, there's nothing like it. But

547
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 1: it also just sounds like I described being on the

548
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: field at Kyle Field, or being on the field and

549
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: Happy Valley right before Penn State takes the field. Hey,

550
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 1: the same thing. In fact, there's a reason why these

551
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: are the two things. I'm so passionate about storm chasing

552
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: college football because those are really the two things that

553
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: when you experience them at their peak, there is an

554
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: adrenaline rush it gives you. I would imagine skydiving does

555
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: the same thing, but I've never gone skydiving. I plan

556
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: on doing it, but I've never done it before. These

557
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: things give you an adrenaline rush that you can't you

558
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: can't replicate hardly anywhere else. You know, a combat sport,

559
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: fight to the death, maybe that would do it for me.

560
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: I've not had a fight to the death so far.

561
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: Maybe I have. I'm just still here. What does that

562
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: tell you about me? But my answer to this is

563
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: I think I would have to choose not to see

564
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: the tornado in person anymore because I've seen seven of them.

565
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: I've been fortunate enough, and we put ourselves in position.

566
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: I've seen seven tornadoes in person. It's incredible. I won't

567
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: lie to you. It's incredible. Been through eight, but I've

568
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 1: seen seven in person. But the college football I got

569
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: to have that, man, I got to have that. I've

570
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: got the memories of the tornadoes. And I also, even

571
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 1: though it doesn't do it justice, I can watch the

572
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: footage of the tornadoes. But if you don't let me

573
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: go to college football games anymore, it's kind of like

574
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 1: a drug. It's kind of addictive. Once you get to

575
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 1: go in person. I can't just be watching on TV.

576
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: Where I need to be there. There's an experience that's

577
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,719
Speaker 1: unique onto being there in person in college football, kind

578
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: of like seeing a tornado in person that you can't replicate.

579
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: But you know, it's probably like seventy five percent of

580
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 1: the organic strike up conversations I have with people I've

581
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: never met before. I meet people in the gym all

582
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 1: the time, or like in stores and stuff easily. Airports,

583
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: I run into people constantly who watch the show. They'll

584
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: introduce themselves, Hey I'm Jeff, Hey I'm Steve, and then

585
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: within a minute they're either going to ask me about

586
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: stormchasing or about experiences at college football games, because those

587
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: are the two things I talk about a whole lot,

588
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: and I don't know really what my life would be

589
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: like without either one. Pretty boring, to be real with you,

590
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: So I need both of them. Unfortunately, I was just

591
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: made to choose, So I'll leave the tornadoes. I gotta

592
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: have the college football. As you can tell to this point,

593
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: I don't have a Storm Chasing podcast. This show is

594
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: kind of a big deal, you know, so college football

595
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: pretty integral part of it. So I'm sorry to Bill

596
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: Paxton and Helen Hunt and the entire Chase team. I'm

597
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: going to have to leave it to you guys, and

598
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to take college football. I think also,

599
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: if we focus grouped it, I think that was the

600
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: right answer, but it hurts nonetheless. Luckily, this is a

601
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: fantasy world we live in, all right. Next up, Jay

602
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: Rando said, why don't more college football analysts follow recruiting? Buddy,

603
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: you just heard me drop my pen. I have no clue.

604
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: I do not know. There is no good answer here,

605
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: because I know when you watch an NFL broadcast, every

606
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: one of those guys in the booth is intimately familiar

607
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: with what happened in the NFL Draft. They're glued to it.

608
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: Everyone's glued to it. Yet on signing day and subsequently

609
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: leading up the signing day, there are some folks who

610
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: pay attention to it hardcore. Now, so I'm not painting

611
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: with a broad brush, but there are some folks who

612
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: are going to be in booths calling college football action

613
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: on national broadcast who could not, for the life of

614
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: themselves tell you the story of this guy's recruitment, that

615
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: guy's recruitment, And it's not even about the individual recruitments.

616
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: You need to know for a better subtext and a

617
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: foundational element of your knowledge of the sport. You need

618
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: to know the recruiting stories of universities. You need to

619
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: know that Texas A and M's trajectory has pointed up

620
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: and why it's pointed up, and the fact that they've

621
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: grabbed this location, the fact that they probably had a

622
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: top ten signing class based on Houston alone last year. Now,

623
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: you could go to the game, you could go meet

624
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: with the staff on Thursday, and you could go to

625
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: the SID that's the sports information director for those unfamiliar,

626
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: and he can give you some talking points, but that's

627
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: their talking points. You need to know. You need to

628
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: know it like the back of your hand. You can

629
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: you can have supplemental research. You don't need to know

630
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: the top ten rankings from twenty nineteen. You can look

631
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: that up, but you need to have a good working

632
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: knowledge of it. I don't know why. To me, it's

633
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of a dereliction of duty. If you

634
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: don't if you don't at least possess the ability to

635
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: speak the language of recruiting. And I'll give you an

636
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: example right here. Probably get in trouble for it, those

637
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: of you who think I just towe the company line.

638
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: I work for CBS. You know we carry a broadcast

639
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: every week, the SEC Game of the Week. CBS also

640
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: owns twenty four to seven Sports. Boggles my mind. Why

641
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: twenty four to seven Sports themes in recruiting are not

642
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: woven throughout those CBS broadcasts and this is my company.

643
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:33,959
Speaker 1: It just doesn't make sense to me. It didn't make

644
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: sense to me before I got here. I remember when

645
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: CBS bought twenty four to seven and I thought, man,

646
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: twenty four seven is gonna be all over that Game

647
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: of the Week broadcast. So not only am I going

648
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: to get Gary and Verne at the time, not only

649
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: am I going to get the intro music, which essentially

650
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: is the same music they play right before you enter

651
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: Heaven sources tell me, but I'm going to get my

652
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: favorite recruiting brand woven into my favorite broadcast, and it's

653
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,239
Speaker 1: kind of never materialized. I don't get it. Those are

654
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: decisions that are made at a higher level than me.

655
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: I don't get it, but it's a good question. I

656
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: don't have a good answer for you. I do know

657
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: you're doing yourself a disservice if you call yourself ever

658
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: wanting to put on a headset and deliver play by play.

659
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: I mean, people are listening to you. Hardcore college football

660
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: fans are listening to you. Imagine how disrespectful it is

661
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: to them, to your audience if you're going on air

662
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: with a lesser working knowledge of the product than they have,

663
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: and they're not the ones talking, they're the ones listening

664
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: to you. So there's some out there who do it

665
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,719
Speaker 1: really well, and then those are called professionals. And then

666
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: there are others out there who view it as a

667
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: one or two day a week job and still get

668
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: paid for it. But that's not professionalism, that's not owning

669
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: your craft. That's just that's just doing something for a paycheck.

670
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: It just happens to be a high profile thing that

671
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: you're doing. Moving on, boy, you know we got a

672
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: fine coming for that one. Colin Jesse, you just know

673
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: it's coming next up. Jack said, if you had a DeLorean,

674
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: what would you tell a college football fan? In nineteen

675
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: ninety nine, about the game in twenty twenty two without

676
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: giving so much away that you create a time paradox. Now,

677
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: that's an important caveat there. We cannot give so much

678
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: away from nineteen ninety nine to present day versions of

679
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: ourselves that we create a time paradox, because I think

680
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: we've all been there a time or two. Hoops amongst

681
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: us hasn't accidentally created a time paradox, and we all

682
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: know how that ends up. I don't want to go

683
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: down that road, but I'll tell you what I would

684
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: tell myself two things. One of them would be in

685
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine, I would say, Hey, Saban is going

686
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: to LSU. Think he may have been LSU by then,

687
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: or he was about to go to LSU. Now you

688
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: probably don't know much about him. He's the guy from

689
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: Michigan State. He's going to end up winning a title. Look,

690
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: this dude's eventually going to be so good. He goes

691
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: to the NFL. Do whatever you have to do to

692
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 1: get inside the facility in Miami and make sure they

693
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: get Drew Brees. You will change the sport forever. Not

694
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: for Alabama, this would be bad news for Alabama, but

695
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: for everybody else in college football, you will change the

696
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: sport forever. Otherwise there's gonna be a gigantic Crimson monster

697
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: that's gonna take the sport by the throat, and it's

698
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 1: gonna let you win a title every now and then,

699
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: but largely you're just gonna see crimson and white confetti

700
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: in your dreams. You're gonna see different colors of gatorades.

701
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: So can Nick Saban in your dreams for the next

702
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: I don't know even in twenty twenty two. We don't

703
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: know when this ends. So the first thing I would

704
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: tell you is, go and take a crowbar, Go and

705
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: slice the tires of whoever made the decision not to

706
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: let them at Miami take Drew Brees, and let him

707
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: take Drew Brees. For those unfamiliar five second story, Saban

708
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: was the head coach of the Miami Dolphins. He wanted

709
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: Drew Brees. The team doctors wouldn't clear him. They had

710
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 1: to take Dante Culpepper instead. Saban was gone a year later.

711
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: If they take Drew Brees still had like ten years

712
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,919
Speaker 1: left on his career or more as it turned out,

713
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: So that was in what five or six, Drew Brees

714
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: just retired Hall of Famer could have been at Miami

715
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: with Saban. Saban could still be coaching down there, so

716
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: that would theoretically take care of the Sabin issue that

717
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: is in some of your minds plagued the sport. I'm

718
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: a big fan of Nick Saban being in college football,

719
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: But aside from that, I would tell nineteen ninety nine version,

720
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: or I would tell twenty twenty two version of myself

721
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: if I were in nineteen ninety nine. Make sure you

722
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: keep the main thing the main thing. Make sure you

723
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: crystallize the regular season. This is so old because I

724
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: talk about it on here all the time, but yet

725
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 1: when I look at our podcast numbers, so many of

726
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 1: you are coming to the table every week. I mean,

727
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: our numbers are growing during the dreaded O word season.

728
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: That's cause some of you don't believe in it, and

729
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: thank you for that. But as more of you come here,

730
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: I have to relitigate the reasons why we think the

731
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 1: way we think on this show. When I say we,

732
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: I don't mean me and our crew, I mean most

733
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: of us listening to this show. Some of us disagree

734
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: on whether we want to expand the playoff or not,

735
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: but we all agree. The best part of this sport

736
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: is not the playoff. It's not what happens in random

737
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: NFL stadiums where neutral site playoff games are held. We

738
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 1: watch the games, we enjoy them, we want our team

739
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,760
Speaker 1: to make it there. But it's about the regular season.

740
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: That's why we focus so much on the regular season

741
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: on our show. It doesn't have to make sense to

742
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: you if you're from the NFL side of the tracks.

743
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to make sense if you're an NBA

744
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: fan or rest in peace, Major League Baseball fan. No,

745
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense because college football is not like

746
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 1: your sport. There's room for all. By the way I

747
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 1: watch those other leagues, I watch college football. I'm totally

748
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: fine with the fact that in sport, and in our sport,

749
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: we cherish the regular season, and the postseason is whatever,

750
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: you know, what will take, whatever result it gives us.

751
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: It's not going to devalue the regular season. Well, what

752
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: I would tell myself in twenty twenty two is I

753
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: would or i'd tell myself in nineteen ninety nine, make sure,

754
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: as you start having more and more traction given to

755
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: this playoff idea, make sure you upfront are able to

756
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: spell out what the consequences are going to be now,

757
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: it could be that they wouldn't listen to me anyway.

758
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: There are a couple of famous parables in the Bible

759
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 1: about how you know, why can't I just warn everybody?

760
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: And God tells you it doesn't matter, doesn't matter. If

761
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: you warn them, they're going to do the same thing.

762
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: Watch and see what I tell you. So look, it

763
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: may be that it may be that even if I

764
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: were to be able to go back in nineteen ninety

765
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: nine and tell everyone, just give them a vision of

766
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: the future. You love the regular season right now, you

767
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: also think you want a playoff, I'm warning you you

768
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 1: may not be able to have both. And then, what

769
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: if I were to tell nineteen ninety nine to me

770
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: or me and my friends about Bowl opt out? What

771
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: if I were to tell them about the phrase meaningless

772
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: bowl game, meaningless regular season game? What if I were

773
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: to tell them there's going to be a small but

774
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: very vocal group of people who claim none of the

775
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: games matter, only a few teams matter. Now, with your

776
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 1: playoff put in place, I don't know how much it

777
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: would change. At the very least, it would put a

778
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 1: voice out there. And what it would do it would

779
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 1: give me credit ability, so that after we got through

780
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: the first round of changes, everyone would be able to

781
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: look back on me and say that guy was right

782
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: the whole time. So hopefully then the words I said

783
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: would have much greater meaning. I would be like an oracle.

784
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: People would look at me as like a college football

785
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: profit of sorts, and I would not downplay it. Trust me,

786
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: if you know me like you think you do, I

787
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: would wear that crown. I mean, I'm actively petitioning to

788
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: become the commissioner of this sport. You don't think I

789
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: would accept the title of profit instead, certainly I would.

790
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: I love all forms of profiting with the F with

791
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: the pH. I love all forms bring it. The more profiting,

792
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: the merrier. So I think I would just warn or

793
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: just put up warning signs and caution signs. That's my

794
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: answer there. Ah, that was a good question. I feel

795
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 1: like we really, if we wanted to, we could have

796
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: gone like thirty minutes on that all right. Next up,

797
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: baki z says, I once heard on a certain network

798
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: that if Nick Saban had one Super Bowl, it would

799
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: be greater than any of his college football championships. Do

800
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: you agree with that and why do you think the

801
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 1: media looks down on college football like that. I'm gonna

802
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: let you guess, Baki, what I'm not downplaying. Your name

803
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: is just a weird name. I'm gonna let you guess

804
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: what I think about comparing what at this point seven

805
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: national championships, six at Bama. This is the point. I've

806
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: lost count of how many national championships, Nick Saban has.

807
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 1: It's somewhere between five and ten. I'll let you guess.

808
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: Do you think I value all those? Or won Super

809
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: Bowl win more? And once you get done laughing, and

810
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: once those of you who are regulars get done chuckling,

811
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: then I'm going to talk a little bit more about

812
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: what he also asked on the back end, he said,

813
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 1: why does so many people look down on college football?

814
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: Kind of goes back to what you and I spoke

815
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: about last week. I don't know if you were here

816
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: or not, Baki, but a lot of us spoke about

817
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: this kind of amongst ourselves here last week. You notice

818
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: a lot of times how I speak kind of in

819
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: a secretive manner when I say those of us amongst ourselves, Well,

820
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: that's kind of the feel we have in the college

821
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: football world. We have for a long time on this podcast,

822
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 1: on this show. It's the same way. You almost think

823
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: of it as a closed society. But the door is open,

824
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: it's not locked. Anyone can come in, but when you

825
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: come in, we ask that you close the door behind you,

826
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: leave it unlocked, invite your friends and family. Mem can

827
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: come in anytimes she wants, but shut it because what

828
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: we don't want is we don't want to get distracted

829
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 1: from the outside noise. Because out in that hallway outside

830
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: of our room here where we reside, there are a

831
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: bunch of casuals walk in that hallway, there, a bunch

832
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: of tourists. There are a bunch of normal folks out there. Well,

833
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: we're not normal. We got a little special thing going

834
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: on here, and so we treat it as such. And

835
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: the reason I tee that up and remind those of

836
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: you who are new here what our mentality is is

837
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: to answer the question that was asked, I do know

838
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: why they look down on it, But my follow up is,

839
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,240
Speaker 1: I don't care why they look down on it. Here's

840
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: the only detrimental side. It's not detrimental to have people

841
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: bashing you or looking down on you. I don't care

842
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: about that. That's or that has never affected my excitement

843
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: when I wake up on a Saturday morning. I can

844
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,240
Speaker 1: promise you that, and it never will. The detrimental side

845
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 1: is when too many people in this room of ours

846
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 1: start listening to people out there. So someone left the

847
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: door open, and all of a sudden their voices out there,

848
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: and they're talking about how this room is not really

849
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: as good as this other Sunday room over here, this

850
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: NFL room. And then a couple of people over in

851
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: the corner of our room start whispering amongst themselves. You know,

852
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: our room isn't as big as the NFL room. Oh,

853
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: the lights aren't as bright in here. Boy, the spread's

854
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 1: not quite as good over here. How long has that

855
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: baloney been sitting out? Some of us like room temperature,

856
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: DELI meets okay. Some of us like the salamie that's

857
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: been sitting out. It's got a light rind on it.

858
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: That's our room. We can do whatever we want to

859
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,720
Speaker 1: in here. You don't like it, here, we go leave.

860
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,919
Speaker 1: You don't like it, leave. We don't take that harsh

861
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: approach in our room. But what we do ask is,

862
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: if you're in here, kindly respect the boundaries of the

863
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: room and kindly understand that how football is the best

864
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: sport on the planet, and in some cases it's the

865
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: best on the planet because it's not what other sports are.

866
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: And some people are paid to cover those other sports,

867
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: and you know, their editor may say I need you

868
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: to cover college football and they don't really like it.

869
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: They're not passionate about it. They are not us. They

870
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: are them. They're not one of us will be cordial

871
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: to them. We don't go out and let the air

872
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: out of their tires in the parking lot or anything.

873
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: But we understand when they talk it doesn't matter as

874
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: much to us. It doesn't matter as much to me

875
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: as when a beat writer for the New England Patriots

876
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: talks bad about Boston College football or the ACC or

877
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: this and that. I don't care. It's just it's a

878
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: wayward opinion. It should go in one ear and out

879
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,839
Speaker 1: the other. But they look down on you because they

880
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: don't view you as good. That's the answer, And if

881
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: that's the way they want to view it, you know,

882
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: I've put out that gift of myself hopping a freight train,

883
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: which is real, and I give the thumbs up. That's

884
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,280
Speaker 1: how I respond to those people. It is the height

885
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: of dismissal to just give someone a thumbs up. Give

886
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: those people a thumbs up. You'll be happy for it,

887
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: they'll be driven crazy for it, and we'll all live

888
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: happily ever after. Next up on this fine Wednesday, we've

889
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: got Wabash Cannon Bob, and he said, why has there

890
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 1: been such a recent uptick in complaints about college football

891
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: being top heavy? When has never? When has it not

892
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 1: been that way? Good question, very good question. It hasn't.

893
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: It's always been that way. It's always been a top

894
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: heavy sport. I think a lot more emphasis has been

895
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:43,720
Speaker 1: placed on this because we're in a playoff era now. Shocker.

896
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: Here another downside unforeseen of the playoff era. This is

897
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:54,399
Speaker 1: a sport that was not built like the NFL. Kind

898
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 1: of goes back to the question we are just talking

899
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 1: about a lot of people look at the NFL and

900
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: that is a league built solely for football. That's it.

901
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: The teams are not attached to anything else. They're just

902
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: built to play football. Clums in football was not even

903
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,919
Speaker 1: around when Clemson University was built, and then as other

904
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 1: teams started to decide we want some extracurricular activities, we

905
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: want some recreational activities, that are associated with the university.

906
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,839
Speaker 1: Let's have club sports and whatnot, and that grew into

907
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 1: what college football is now. Over decades and decades, clumbs

908
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 1: and football came to be known as my pen. Clemson

909
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: football is born. Okay, that's great. Clemson football may have

910
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: come along thirty years before or after your program came

911
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 1: along with your university, and Clemson football may have deep

912
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: pockets and you may not have deep pockets. They may

913
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 1: be located in the South. You may be located in

914
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 1: South Dakota. Therefore, they've gotten more access to players who

915
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 1: are athletic and can play the sport. They're in warmer weather.

916
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: All of this works again if you're in South Dakota.

917
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: So you can either do one of two things. You

918
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 1: can look around and you can complain about how it's

919
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 1: a top heavy sport and those teams always win, and

920
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: we need to go about changing everything about the infrastructure

921
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: of the sport to appease me. Or you could just

922
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:22,359
Speaker 1: accept reality and then understand the stupid thing. Let's use

923
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: let's use softer language. The ignorant thing is pretending that

924
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,240
Speaker 1: this sport is something it's not. So therefore, the smart

925
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 1: thing is to understand there are tiers in this sport.

926
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,280
Speaker 1: This is a very very class society and it's closed.

927
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: Very rarely are you going to see a Tier three

928
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 1: end up being a Tier one. So what we can

929
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: do instead of pretending one hundred and thirty teams or

930
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: playing the same sport, we can acknowledge reality and we

931
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: can say, all right, you got about fifteen of them

932
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: over here, and then there's another bubble of about thirty,

933
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: and then there's another bubble of forty or fifty, and

934
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: you can measure yourself based on teams in your own bubble.

935
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: I mean, imagine, I remember how just mind numbingly ignorant

936
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,720
Speaker 1: it seemed to me that Boise State built a monster

937
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,959
Speaker 1: in Boise, Idaho, in the Mountain West or the Whack

938
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: or whatever they were in, and you had I was

939
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 1: down in the South. I had some fools down there

940
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: around me, including some in my own social circle, and

941
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: all they wanted to say was Boise would never win

942
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: in the SEC. Who in the world cares what they

943
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: would do in the SEC. They're in Idaho, man, they

944
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 1: don't have any advantage under Chris Peterson. They had no

945
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 1: advantage relative to their competition. In fact, I would argue

946
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 1: they were disadvantaged even in the Mountain West in the

947
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: Whack relative to their competition. Some of the teams they

948
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: play against during California, with access to talent they're in

949
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:44,240
Speaker 1: Idaho feel like they need to stress that again Idaho, Okay,

950
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: And yet they were still winning. That was a miracle

951
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,320
Speaker 1: to me. That vaulted Chris Peterson right up at the

952
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: top of my coaching power rankings. If you were properly

953
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 1: contextualizing their accomplishments, you would have thought the same thing.

954
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 1: But if you were just viewing the sport holistically, and

955
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: everybody's playing the same league, everybody's playing the same sport,

956
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: they're playing the same level. Is as long as you're

957
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: your D one, your FBS, we're measuring all of you equally, well,

958
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 1: then no, you didn't appreciate Bois fully. So the reason

959
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: why it's this way is because it's always been this way,

960
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: because college football is not set up like a professional

961
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 1: sports league. Accept it. You don't have to draw your

962
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: joy or despair from whether your team accomplishes something that's

963
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 1: meaningful within a structure that should normally be reserved for

964
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,760
Speaker 1: professional sports. The pro sports structure doesn't work here. Therefore,

965
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: the grading system that you would use in pro sports.

966
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't work here. You could be so much happier,

967
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: so many more of us could be so much happier

968
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: on Saturdays if we view the sport that way. Let's

969
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: move on, you know what, Let's first do this three

970
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: two one by Yeah. Sometimes we take pride and easing

971
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 1: into the ad read around here, but sometimes I forget

972
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 1: totally to do it. And that was the cheapest ad

973
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: read toss I think I've done. It's not even fair

974
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 1: to you to abruptly countdown and then say bye. That's

975
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 1: why I can't say bring him young. I can't I

976
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,240
Speaker 1: can't abbreviate bring him young, because that's what it sounds

977
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 1: like when I pronounce a why. Anyway, we're back to

978
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,399
Speaker 1: all that's behind us. Next up is David David hit

979
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 1: me in Instagram DMS. He said, appreciate the show, hope

980
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: all's going well, and thank you David it is. Here's

981
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 1: a question, he said, what would you say constitutes a

982
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: hot take? And why does Lake kick ten to steer

983
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: clear of them? What's very intentional that we stay away

984
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: from that format. I learned a long time ago. No

985
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 1: one had to teach me this I observed it myself.

986
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:38,319
Speaker 1: I learned a long time ago the best people, as

987
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:42,280
Speaker 1: I saw them in sports media were not the hot takers.

988
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:47,439
Speaker 1: They were people who already thought so differently that when

989
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: they just spoke their mind by default, their opinions were

990
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: unique and they stood out like a hot take. But

991
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 1: it wasn't a hot take in the purest sense of

992
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 1: those words. When you say hot take, you're probably thinking,

993
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: like I do, someone who just gets on TV or

994
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: radio and runs their mouth or goes to Twitter and

995
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 1: just just throws something out there because they know it'll

996
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 1: get traction. Absent any logic, you know that you're not

997
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 1: really morally invested in what you said. You're just saying

998
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: it because it's an ends to a means, and I

999
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 1: don't believe in that for what should be obvious reasons.

1000
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 1: But also, if you understand how to think properly in life,

1001
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 1: forget about sports for a second, but it applies across

1002
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 1: the board. If you understand how to think correctly and clearly,

1003
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,840
Speaker 1: you've already set yourself apart from ninety five percent of

1004
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: the crowd. And therefore, if you understand how to think

1005
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: clearly and correctly, and then you speak from the heart.

1006
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: You don't have to be coming up with what you

1007
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 1: think is going to be controversial or you think it's

1008
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: going to be an edgy set of opinions. Your natural

1009
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: opinions will set themselves apart from the crowd, just because

1010
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,280
Speaker 1: your mind has already set itself apart from the crowd.

1011
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: So then you see very clearly and easily when you

1012
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: get into our world of sports talk and sports media

1013
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: and whatnot, you can go about getting attention one of

1014
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,919
Speaker 1: two ways. You can either do the hot take thing,

1015
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: which is going to wear off that's like a sugar high,

1016
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:14,280
Speaker 1: or you can learn to observe instead of just watch.

1017
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 1: It's a key part if you want to make it

1018
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: in this business, if you want to be a professional

1019
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 1: in our business. I think one of the most underrated

1020
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 1: and key aspects is observational watching and listening as opposed

1021
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 1: to just passive watching and listening. Anyone can sit on

1022
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: a couch and watch football game. Can you observe it,

1023
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: therefore ingesting it through different filters which leads to content creation,

1024
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 1: that's the name of the game. So you can either

1025
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 1: hot take your way, or you could learn to observationally

1026
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: watch and listen to anything that you're covering college football

1027
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: in my case, and then you can just speak openly

1028
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 1: and freely from your heart what do you think? And

1029
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 1: then you try and be entertaining about it. We certainly

1030
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 1: are not running a chemistry lab here. We try and

1031
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 1: be very entertaining, but I'm not going to do it

1032
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: in a manner that where I walk into the studio

1033
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: one day and say, all right, Colin and Jesse, what

1034
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 1: do I want to say that's going to grab some attention,

1035
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: Like when we format the show, give you a little

1036
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 1: behind the scenes here. We never format our show, So

1037
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:13,919
Speaker 1: there's a kind of a trick question there. We don't

1038
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 1: format our show. We have a loose idea of the

1039
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 1: topics we're going to hit and the order we're going

1040
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 1: to hit them in. But normally, especially when you get

1041
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 1: to our level, it's a national college football show and

1042
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: we've got all this equipment and we work for a

1043
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 1: major media company. Normally, I mean, you would have you

1044
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 1: would have a rundown in front of me. They'd have

1045
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 1: raws inception, which is a program we use. You'd have

1046
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 1: it opened in the control room there, and I would

1047
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 1: be looking meticulously through every block, and I would look

1048
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 1: through every cell, and we would have everything timed down

1049
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: and we would have every element here. That's not the

1050
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 1: way we do it. We intentionally want it to be

1051
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: authentic and we want it to be pure. We call

1052
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: it jazz based formatting, which is they follow me, instead

1053
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:57,359
Speaker 1: of symphonic based formatting. We created our own nomenclature around here.

1054
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: The symphonic based formatting would be like an news program

1055
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 1: where everything's laid out and every second's accounted for. We

1056
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:05,359
Speaker 1: don't do it that way. But the reason we don't

1057
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: do it that way is because I don't like planning

1058
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: what we say. And so what we do is we

1059
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 1: get to the end of a show and then we

1060
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: look at the show and we look and say what

1061
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:16,799
Speaker 1: stood out, and then we go clip the videos and

1062
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: you'll see anytime we do a late kick live, you'll

1063
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: see on Twitter, Instagram there'll be a few clips of videos.

1064
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,319
Speaker 1: But we didn't set out for that to end up

1065
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,319
Speaker 1: being a clip. It just became a clip that's authentic,

1066
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 1: and you guys see it. I know because I can

1067
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: see it. I can tell clear as day when someone's

1068
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: gone in with a pre prepared monologue and they got

1069
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 1: a few sentences, they know we're going to pop and

1070
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 1: stand out. I'm not telling anyone else how to do

1071
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: their job. I'm just saying we don't do it. We

1072
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: don't have a word of this show scripted because I

1073
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:46,919
Speaker 1: know you can see through it. Back when the hot

1074
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,439
Speaker 1: take culture first took hold, it didn't matter. But now

1075
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 1: that the world has reconditioned themselves to be able to

1076
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: spot that, Yeah, you can spot the fraudulent takes. You

1077
00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 1: can spot inauthenticity in a hot minute. And even if

1078
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 1: you can't, if I were to do that, I'm not

1079
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: delivering anything of substance to you. We want to engage, entertain,

1080
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 1: and enlighten, and inform. Those are the four pillars we're

1081
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:09,839
Speaker 1: trying to hit every show, and if I'm doing that,

1082
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:12,240
Speaker 1: I'm hitting maybe one of those. You may be entertained

1083
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: by it, you don't get anything else out of it.

1084
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,800
Speaker 1: Like I said, it's cotton candy, it's a sugar high.

1085
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 1: It doesn't nourish you at all, and that's what we

1086
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:20,839
Speaker 1: want to do on the show. We want to nourish.

1087
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 1: Should have a nutrition label on these shows. But you

1088
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,239
Speaker 1: don't get anything out oude of that. So I'd be

1089
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:26,840
Speaker 1: wasting your time if I did that. That's why we

1090
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 1: don't do that. Next up, I think we have one

1091
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 1: more and we save this one for the end, mainly

1092
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 1: because it is has nothing to do with college football.

1093
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:38,359
Speaker 1: But I encourage you to ask whatever you want. But

1094
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 1: I normally a little formatting change. I just normally used

1095
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 1: to throw these in wherever. I'm going to push the

1096
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 1: non college football stuff a little bit towards the end,

1097
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 1: so those of you who are interested you can tune out.

1098
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: That's fine. John asked, are you capable of picking one

1099
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,479
Speaker 1: song from the Twister soundtrack as you're chasing theme song?

1100
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 1: And if so, which would it be. The answer is no, John,

1101
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 1: I'm not capable of that, and I'm going to tell

1102
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: you why, because we have a pretty set ritual when

1103
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 1: we are storm chasing, and it is that season is

1104
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 1: the season right now. There are different portions of the

1105
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 1: Twister soundtrack for different times of a chase. So when

1106
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,839
Speaker 1: you set out in the morning, you know, normally, if

1107
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 1: you grew up where I grew up, you go up

1108
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: Highway through fifteen, you hit the Chevron in Forts and Georgia,

1109
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 1: very very underrated breakfast buffet. There a lot of us

1110
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 1: eat at gas stations where I'm from deal with It

1111
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: and then you get on I one eighty five and

1112
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 1: you're either headed north or you're headed over. In Alabama,

1113
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: that's the time of day where you'll listen to Twisted

1114
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,879
Speaker 1: by Stevie Nickson Lindsay Buckingham, not a Fleetwood Mac song,

1115
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 1: even though both of them were in Fleetwood Mac. That's

1116
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: a great early day song that's before the action has started. Also,

1117
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: you know there's a Mark Knopfler song on there. I

1118
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:53,240
Speaker 1: forgot what it was called, but those are good songs

1119
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: in the build up. But when you're talking about chasing,

1120
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 1: there are two songs that we reserve on my team

1121
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,919
Speaker 1: that I chase with. We're only allowed to play when

1122
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 1: an active tornado warning has been issued and they are

1123
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: long way down by the Goo Goo dolls and obviously

1124
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: Humans Being by Van Halen, which is the song in

1125
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 1: the movie Twister they're playing when they're going after the tornado.

1126
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: That's when we crank those. Now the added bonus is

1127
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 1: if you're watching the video version of this on YouTube,

1128
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:25,919
Speaker 1: I have given Colin footage, as I said earlier, of

1129
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:29,359
Speaker 1: the latest tornado that we captured that's in Billingsley, Alabama.

1130
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,840
Speaker 1: We had Humans Being playing on the chase. Now, obviously

1131
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 1: the radio's off when you're actually in front of a

1132
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 1: tornado because you're filming it. But I'm a believer that

1133
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 1: Van Halen assists you in intercepting tornadoes certainly doesn't hurt you.

1134
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: I'll put it that way. So then you get later

1135
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 1: in the day, and if you don't have an overnight situation,

1136
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,719
Speaker 1: and I do not prefer to chase at night and

1137
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 1: you're headed home, that's when you get with the slower

1138
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 1: jam if you need some energy. No one needs to know.

1139
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 1: By Shania Twain, one of her best songs is on there.

1140
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,919
Speaker 1: But Moments like This by Alison Krause is an underrated song.

1141
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 1: I think. Probably the most vivid memory framework I have

1142
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: from the movie Twister as it relates to the soundtrack,

1143
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 1: is the song how by Lisa Loebe. You probably remember

1144
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: her for the song stay only Hear what I want to? Yeah,

1145
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 1: that song. Well, this is not that song, but it's

1146
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,240
Speaker 1: another good song. It's so vivid because you know exactly

1147
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:28,280
Speaker 1: where in the movie it was placed. But my answer

1148
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: is you have different songs for different times of the day.

1149
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 1: But the Twister soundtrack, we've already established this. It's just

1150
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: a fact, is the most underrated movie soundtrack in the

1151
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: history of American cinema. Some people in my building have

1152
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 1: not even seen the movie. Those people need to work

1153
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:44,440
Speaker 1: on themselves. I know a lot of you have seen it,

1154
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:48,800
Speaker 1: but I would encourage you watch it again. But listen

1155
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 1: to the music. There's some really good music, kind of woven,

1156
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 1: and some of it is audiobed, and there are actual

1157
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: lines of dialogue happening over it, so you really got

1158
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:59,839
Speaker 1: to listen close. But man, so good, such a vivid,

1159
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 1: great movie came out in the mid nineties. Still one

1160
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:05,319
Speaker 1: of my all time favorites. All right, a reminder here

1161
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 1: on the very back end, I really appreciate you guys.

1162
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you're doing things that shouldn't be able to

1163
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 1: be done with our numbers. Should not be happening for

1164
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: a college football podcast to be growing in March, but

1165
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 1: yet it is. The only favor is subscribe to the

1166
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: actual podcast itself. Don't just download the video or the audio,

1167
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 1: because we've got tens of thousands of people listening, but

1168
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: yet the download numbers don't always match that. It's not

1169
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: that they're bad, they just don't match it. So or subscribe.

1170
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 1: Subscribe to the podcast. The subscription numbers don't always match it,

1171
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 1: so that's it. That's all Spotify, Apple, wherever you are.

1172
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 1: Those five star reviews help but subscribe to the pod,

1173
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 1: and as I always encourage you, don't hesitate to take

1174
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 1: a friend or a family member's phone and subscribe on

1175
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 1: theirs as well. I'll never even know it, so just

1176
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 1: go ahead and he thank you so much. We got

1177
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 1: to get this thing cut up for producer Jordan, who's

1178
00:57:58,160 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 1: about to have this product toss this way in the

1179
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 1: mine moments, along with producer Jesse who's in the house,

1180
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 1: and director Colin. I'm Josh Pate. Thanks so much for listening.

1181
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 1: Have a great rest of your day. And God loved me.
