WEBVTT - February Q&A (2/15/2017) 0:00:02.040 --> 0:00:06.880 Welcome to the solid verbal call that for me, I'm 0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:09.680 a man, I'm forty. I've heard so many players say, well, 0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:11.640 I want to be happy. You want to be happy 0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:15.319 for day Edith state is that woo woom? And now 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:21.640 Dan and Tye welcome back to the Saliburbo boys and girls. 0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:23.560 My name is ty Hilton Brandt. I am joined as 0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:26.200 always by my good friend and colleague and co hosts 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:29.600 over there in beautiful New York City, a gentleman. You 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:32.080 know him well as Dan Rubinstein. Sir, how are you? 0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:36.239 The audio coffin is dead Tie, That's why they call 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:38.280 it a coffin. That's true. 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:43.200 I have recorded my final show in the Espianation audio coffin, 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:46.440 not because I'm leaving Espanation, but because Espianation left our 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:49.600 old space and Vox Media, and you got a tour 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:51.680 of it. I did last week when you were in 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:54.280 New York briefly. So I am recording. 0:00:53.880 --> 0:01:00.200 Now in a gosh six by twelve foot like padded room, 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:02.320 like a full on voiceover room. 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:04.559 There's a carpet beneath me, the walls have been treated 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:06.319 for sound. There's actual lights in here. 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.119 Okay. I feel like a new man because the last 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:13.480 booth that you were in, they are so called audio coffin. Yeah, 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:16.520 it was legitimately like a stand up tanning booth. Right. 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:18.400 It was really close confines in there. 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:21.000 And if you do a show with more than one 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.640 person in that booth, like I've pulled people in like 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:25.800 we had who do we have Martin Rickman in there 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.240 a little while ago? You know, Ryan has come in 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:31.840 every so often, Jane has come in, Like, there's all 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:33.600 sorts of people that will like end up in this 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:35.280 three by three foot audio coffin. 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.320 And after like a solid forty five. 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:42.000 Minutes, not getting oxygen and not fully being comfortable where 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:42.679 you are, You're just. 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:46.360 Like, I kiss this person? Is what are we supposed 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.360 to do? Our mouths are so close. 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.800 That's what my brain sounds like in an audio coffin, right, 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.320 which should make sense to everybody listening if they've ever 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:55.040 listened to the show. 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.240 So in a new space. 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.200 And we're in the off season now and I'm I'm 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:03.920 pretty stacked or stoked about that. I'm also stacked about 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:08.520 that tie. This is when we have an opportunity to engage, 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:09.720 I guess would be the word. 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:13.800 Gauge, really explore the studio space if you will, and 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:17.040 just go places, Ty, just go places. Yeah, you solicited 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:23.320 a bunch of a bunch of questions and created a document. Yeah, 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.160 this is an outstanding list of questions we've got here, Dan. 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.280 And what I like about the document is you not 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:32.720 only have it loaded up with a ton but you 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.919 also put it in a very specific and logical order. 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.800 So and it fits what we do on the show, 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:41.760 because it's going to start off with football and then 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:45.680 devolve into just total madness, second stuff early. Yeah, this 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:50.600 is good. So all right, follow us on Facebook and Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:54.200 all those usuals. Don't forget to subscribe at iTunes, dot 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:57.680 com slash solid Verbal. We will be here all off 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:02.840 season doing one podcast a week every Wednesday. Today we 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.560 decided to give back to the verbawlers out there. We 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.639 tend to do Q and a's periodically throughout the course 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.800 of the off season. We have a lot planned, big 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:16.280 plans for this offseason and certainly the coming football season. 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:22.440 So keep it right here our website again, isslidverbal dot com. Dan, 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:26.080 Before we get into any of our emails and questions 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:29.040 and comments, did you want to give a quick run 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.600 through a quick rundown of what's going on in and 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:35.400 around the college football ether. Is there any news, Yeah, 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:38.680 I mean of substance. It's mostly draft stuff, and. 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.760 You know, obviously the transition between college and the pros 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.320 and how people are evaluating players we've watched for three, 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:48.160 four or five years. Arden Ki, though the sophomore stud 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:52.480 defensive end for LSU, certainly probably the captain, the guy 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.040 coming back next year from the Tigers. He has taken 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.760 an indefinite leave of absence. The circumstances are unknown, so 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.640 we hope everybody is okay, and it's just some sort 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:04.440 of weird situation that needs to be dealt with. I 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.400 don't know if it's academics. I don't know if it's health. 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.280 I mean, I think there was a statement. I hope 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.360 it's true that there's not a health issue. So hopefully 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:15.440 everything can get squared away and everybody's okay. Beyond that, 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:20.159 Jim Harbaugh hired the dad and a notable coach, but 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.279 the dad of a twenty nineteen quarterback recruits. I have 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.360 coached with him, I believe, at the University of San 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.159 Diego and is now a high school coach. 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.320 Not the first time Jim Harbaugh has done that, but. 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.479 It's legal. It's fine. People do it all over the place. 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:40.080 Now it's Jim Harbaugh's turn the tenth assistant coach. Right now, 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.520 you're allowed to have nine assistant coaches, but a rule 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.159 allowing for a tenth was up to be voted. It 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.840 doesn't look like that'll be happening at least until next year. 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.640 So staff size, or at least official ability to coach 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.320 and interact with players, that is still going to be 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.800 at nine, although schools clearly all over the place hiring 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:03.600 analysts sort of serve in a behind the scenes game planning, 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:08.280 breaking down tape, extension of the coaching staff role. So 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:13.800 beyond that, not too much has been happening. The big 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:15.599 health thing that we hope turns out all right is 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:20.279 Bill Snyder. Yeah, I believe it's diagnosed with throat cancer. 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.320 Is that the official But not losing any time on 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:23.880 the job. 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:28.520 Correct, We'll be working and we hope for an absolutely 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:32.120 speedy and successful recovery for Bill Snyder, who listen, he 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.560 is a wizard, and we hope it sort of deals 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.760 with everything that he does. So good luck to Bill 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:40.599 Snyder and his family and everybody. A Kansas State. 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.880 We're rooting for him absolutely, all right, So relatively slow 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.239 on the news front. As we get a little closer 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:50.200 into draft season, we can cover that, bring on some 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:55.960 of our pals. But in the meantime, let's get to questions. Congratulations, Skippy, 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:59.120 you've got mail, You've got mail on the Solid Verbal 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.560 Daniel Rubinstein. As often as we can, we like to 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:06.280 pay homage to those of you who email in at 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.400 solid verbal at gmail dot com our email address, those 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:11.840 of you who comment on our Facebook posts, to those 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:15.479 of you who write in on the Twitter feed. We 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:19.600 have a document before us that is laden with questions, Dan, 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:20.719 where are we going first? 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.880 Uh, let's start with this. It's Mike, I don't know, 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:26.599 is it Sclens? I like made up names? 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.359 Glens. Yes. I asked us every year and your answer 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:30.640 is always awesome. That's all. 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:32.680 That's a great way to start a question. Thank you, 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:37.760 Which eligible Which bowle eligible team will see the biggest 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:39.520 fall this year? In which non Bowl team will see 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:40.400 the biggest rise? 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:41.080 Tie? 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.880 Okay, do any teams including both of our teams go 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.920 Irish go Ducks? Both of our teams finished four and eight. 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.719 Those two teams seem like obvious answers. But let's but 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.640 he said bowl teams bowl eligible. Well, he also said, 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.720 you know non Bowl teams can rise. Uh, non boll 0:06:57.760 --> 0:06:59.320 teams will see the biggest rise. I think of those 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.760 two are obvious, but let's start with ball eligible teams 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:04.000 that'll that'll make a fall. 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:07.839 Okay, So the one that kind of jumps out a 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.600 little bit at me, with full working knowledge of sef 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:15.840 o'loof oul not being with Colorado next year as well 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.440 as Jim Levitt. As well as Jim Levitt, I'm a 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.960 little concerned about where that could head. They had a 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.720 charmed season. I'm not rooting for this by any stretch 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.000 of the imagination, but I would say Colorado is a 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:28.720 team that jumped out to me as someone who might 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:32.360 be a candidate. Right. I know one of my risers 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:37.680 would probably be Georgia. Georgia's defense was actually okay for 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:40.600 a decent chunk of the year. They had problems on offense. 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:44.520 They obviously got a young quarterback, had five losses this season. 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:47.040 I could see them taking a big step forward in 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.160 year two under Kirby Smart Jacobson. 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:51.840 Yeah, we can get into this in a little bit. 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.720 I'm curious about Nebraska having to replace a good chunk 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.280 on both sides of the ball, you know, top receivers. 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:00.800 They're gonna have a big quarterback battle, return a lot 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:04.040 of talent on defense. The secondary should be looking pretty 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.560 good even with the loss of Nake Airy, But I'm 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:08.840 curious about that because they started so quickly. I don't 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:10.720 think they're a six and six team, but I think 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:12.480 it's going to be a little bit closer this year 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:17.720 for them. I think Colorado is reasonable, although they've recruited 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:21.640 pretty well and the infusion of talent should should continue there. 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:27.080 Elsewhere in the Pac twelve, I don't think there's a 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:28.640 big foller to me. 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:33.040 Well, the big, the big obvious one is Western Michigan. 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.040 I don't know if they count in this. Yeah, Houston, Yeah, 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:41.600 Western Michigan. Houston obviously both teams losing their coach. Yeah, 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:45.560 Western Michigan losing some of their artillery in terms of offense, 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.720 So that to me is pretty obvious. 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.559 What about text A and M They were treading water 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.400 this past year bringing in a grad transfer quarterback. I'm 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.559 not all that confident that the problem is solved at quarterback. 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:01.199 They lose a number of playmakers up front defensively led 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.959 by Miles Garrett, they lose some weapons on offense. They've 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:08.560 recruited extraordinarily well, but they seem to be a water 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.160 treading team, and I don't know that the John Chavis 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:14.000 experiment has fully worked out to the level I think 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:16.679 Texas A and M had hoped, especially with the Eggies 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:20.080 and their ability or lack thereof against the run. So 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.960 I'm not fully confident that they're going to make an 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:27.319 aggressive move forward Texas A and M's twenty seventeen schedule, 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:30.560 I know a lot of teams are scheduling big, fun, 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:35.040 exciting neutral site games home and home. So they start 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:39.480 the season at UCLA. New ish look UCLA team on 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:43.600 offense with a new offensive coordinator and Jed Fish coming 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.160 over from Michigan. The quarterback coach for Michigan Josh Rosen, 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:49.280 should be much healthier. Still a lot of concerns about 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.520 the UCLA offense even with a Josh rose I think 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.559 fair to say with how they looked most of the 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.240 season last year. So they're at UCLA and then the 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.800 rest of their non conference schedule early on nicol State 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.320 Louisiana Lafayette. They're at Arkansas. Well, it's a neutral site 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:05.520 game in Arlington at at and T Stadium. South Carolina 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:06.520 and Alabama at home. 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:08.480 Okay, not bad. 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.400 If you can split those, that's a big win. They're 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:15.520 at Florida, which who knows with the Florida offense moving forward, 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:19.000 and they lose a ton on defense. Mississippi State at 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.360 Kyle Field, Auburn at Kyle Field, New Mexico. 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:22.440 Do you want to. 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:24.880 Play New Mexico in future? Notre Dame head coach Bob Davy. 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:28.320 I don't think you do. They go to Ole Miss, 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:32.680 they go to LSU, so it's a pretty even schedule. 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.680 It doesn't end favorably, but ole Miss could be who 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:39.320 knows with Shaye Patterson. But the talent isn't what it 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:40.360 was a couple of years ago. 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:41.679 I don't know. 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:44.199 I six and six, seven and five isn't super far 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.320 off to me for texta thank not far off. 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:49.319 If they do, If they do like the doggy paddle 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:54.959 from their current state of whatever through twenty seventeen, I 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:56.720 will not at all be surprised they just keep it 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.880 in neutral, right, you know, I wouldn't be surprised. I 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:01.880 don't know if I feel a big rise or a 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.360 big drop off for A and M. I think A 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:07.480 and M fans are in that same boat. That's part 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.000 of the problem. They're not sure if this thing is 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.520 turned in the right or the wrong direction. So who 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.400 are your growers? Then? Well, the big one from East Georgia. 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.199 I think Georgia. Anybody else? I think George is a 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:21.200 big one. Miami could have been in that conversation, but 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:25.040 brag Kaya went pro mm hmm, so that one sort 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:26.960 of caught me a little bit off guard. 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.920 I'm curious. I would love to see the momentum in 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:33.160 Aimes sco Iowas Tate. I'd love to see Matt Campbell 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:35.480 get them to you know's, there's a drive to six 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:40.240 element to a few teams Kansas, ty I'm not insane 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:40.800 for saying it. 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:43.760 Having a good recruiting class, aren't they They're recruiting well. 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.040 They did some little things well last season, they beat 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.000 an app blow average team in Texas. 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:54.040 Come on, Tye, get on that train. Syracuse. Do you 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.840 see them getting to six games? I like their quarterback situation. 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:03.960 Okay, uh yeah, okay, next question, next question, yeah, next question, 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.760 Top five or just any list of coordinators that you 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.280 think could be in line to get ahead job sooner 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:10.000 rather than later. 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.160 So this is kind of like the Jesse Palmer special 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:13.040 right here, right. 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:16.320 This is the Jesse Palmer Memorial, even though we assume 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:20.000 he's still alive. Question, right, I think we're both going 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:21.520 to agree on Jomo. 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:25.120 Jomo Joe moorehead offensive coordinator for Penn State. He was 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:28.000 rumored to be in the mix for some jobs that 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:32.040 came open this fall, but Joe moorehead is on that list. 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.960 Another obvious one's got to be Dave Randa. 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.520 Right, Dave Randa, Yeah, who I think long term may 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.040 have his site set even higher, But yeah. 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:46.120 Dave Randa, current defensive coordinator at lsu H, Lincoln Riley 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:51.720 from Oklahoma, current offensive coordinator for Oklahoma. And Bob Stoops. 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.720 He's a younger guy. I think he's younger than both 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.720 you and I and he's already coaching at the major 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:01.640 college level in a serious capacity. So yeah, there's that 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:05.720 and the other one who I don't know if he 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.720 gets quite the recognition he deserves, But Todd Orlandos had 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:10.560 a pretty good run the last couple of years. That 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:11.800 was the name I had as well. 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:14.760 He's been putting together defense after defense, be it at 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:17.599 Utah State or Houston. Now he's in a position at Texas. 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:20.079 We have no idea what jobs are going to come open, 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:23.440 very fragile nature of employment at the college head coaching level. 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.840 Tod Orlando will have an opportunity. I know he interviewed 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.000 for the Houston head job. He was the Houston defensive 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:32.680 coordinator these past few seeds past couple seasons. That'll be 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:36.040 a big name in the PAC twelve, t Martin. If 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.040 Sam Darnold has the other enormous year, I think he's 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:42.840 becoming more and more well regarded and obviously has the 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:46.200 history in the SEC as a player. I mean Pep Hamilton. 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:47.920 I know a lot of people like him will be 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:50.400 running an offense for the first time in a while 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:53.520 at the college level at Michigan taking over there. I 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:57.400 know we have a couple questions about Michigan. Tom Allen 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:02.040 would have been my answer had Tom Allen already yeah, 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.440 all right, all of a sudden, So that's my answer there. 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.440 I think those are that's a good batch, all right, 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.720 rapid fire. Where are we going next here? Rapid fire? 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:09.440 We're going to JP. 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:11.720 That last question was from I think it was Christoph. 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:12.880 It's not the full Christopher. 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:16.080 Was that the guy that ran the Truman Show? Was 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:20.560 that his name Krystal Christof I like that movie. Movie 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:21.760 freaked me out a little bit little bit. 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:25.119 Yeah, JP wants to know best taco truck in Los Angeles. 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.800 That is a three pronged answer for me. I still 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:31.440 love the Kogie Barbecue truck, a classic, so good Ricky's 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:35.560 for fish tacos. It's behind a Vaughan's in East Hollywood, 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:37.200 not far from the Scientology Center. 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:43.680 Nice. And also the Mariscos Jalisco truck. Mariscos being shrimp. 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:47.480 Seafood nice, well, just seafood come out on as shrimp. 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:49.880 The Mariscos Halisco truck. They have like two or three 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.360 of them now downtown and East LA. It is the 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:55.360 best shrimp taco in America, and it's not particularly close. 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.080 They're crispy and fried and amazing and smothered in salson 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:01.760 avocado and related. What do you think of USC's national 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.400 championship chances in twenty eighteen? 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.880 I feel better Come, I'll ride the train. I feel 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.120 better about it. I'm looking at their schedule right now, 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:15.280 Western Michigan. That's a winnable game favorite bye week on 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:20.880 the schedule. You see, Yeah, Stanford second week, Texas third week. 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.280 That'll be interesting. But they got them at home. 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:27.400 Body blow at body Blow, Tom Herman in a big spot. 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:32.880 At Washington State, Oregon State, Utah at Notre game at 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:38.920 Arizona State. Yeah, I mean it's front loaded and backloaded, 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:43.200 and there's a lot of like creamy stuff in the middle. Yeah. 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.160 I mean we've all been there, Washington and Oregon not 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:49.160 on this schedule now. It's probably a pretty decent thing. 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:51.920 Oregon will should have a good offense. I'm not going 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:55.440 to talk about their defense. Washington should return a really 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:58.200 nice offense, though they lose John Ross, number of big 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.240 players on defense, but they returned via to Bay. Yeah, 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:04.480 they're going to lose at least one game. That doesn't 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:06.320 mean they're not going to win the National championship. But 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:10.440 without a bye week, they'll probably lose. Man I that 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:15.440 at Notre Dame, Utah and at Arizona State and consecutive weeks, 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:17.640 it feels like they're going to lose one of those, 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:22.000 which they should absolutely not lose. I'm not as worried 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:25.960 about going to Colorado, although I like Steven Montese some Ucla. 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:27.920 We have no idea what no will look like, no 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:34.760 idea go anywhere. That Texas game, though, Ty Tom Herman 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:38.240 is a good big game coach, irrefutable, right. Yeah, after 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.160 last year beating Louisville and oklahom. 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.520 After stanford'll be nice and tender. Yeah, I could see it. 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.720 That could be it. Early body blow warning right here, 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:48.600 early body blow warning. That's all we're going to say. 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:53.560 I got the sound there you go. Oh oh, just 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:54.520 what you always wanted? 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.320 All right, ten and a half over under, That's what 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.520 I'm just making up for USC wins. 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:03.840 Wins, uh under Wow, Okay, ten in a half a while, 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:08.240 I agree with you. All right, Next question, Yeah, where's next? Uh? 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:12.959 Sort of related? Texas back yet from Joey Chamberlain. Texas 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:16.880 will always be Texas. How many wins does Texas need 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:19.160 to be? Quote back, it's not even back. It's been 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:22.080 so long. Is Texas good? I don't even think. 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:25.480 It's a win thing, Dan, Ultimately it's to be a 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:27.840 win thing in like three years. But I think it's 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.600 a quality thing. I think it's a consistency thing. Okay, 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:35.000 I think they will get offensive consistency now under Tom Herman. 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:38.040 That they didn't have previously. He's just so good at 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.640 coaching offense. If he can do it at Houston, if 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:43.280 he could do it in the capacity he did at 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:47.119 Ohio State in that crazy turn of events with Cardile Jones, 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:49.520 I think he can do it pretty much anywhere, especially 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:51.240 at Texas where he's going to have a ton of talent. 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:55.640 I'm looking at the schedule. Now, tell me how many 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:58.679 losses you think are on the schedule. Texas seven. Texas 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:02.480 brings a lot back. They're actually quite young. Maryland, San 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:05.320 Diego State at USC that could be a loss. That 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:10.600 might be one at Iowa State. Excuse me, k State? 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:14.760 Oklahoma pencil in nothing with Texas. Iowa State, I pencil 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:18.159 in nothing. Oklahoma could be a loss. Probably will be 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:23.120 Oklahoma State. I don't know about tam Yeah. At Baylor, 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:28.840 who the hell knows? At TCU could be a loss. Yeah, 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:32.040 Kansas could be a loss. I mean we say could 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:34.119 be a loss. Did they not lose TC like thirty 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:38.240 one to six in extraordinarily ugly fashion? They did, yep 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:41.440 at West Virginia and close out the year at home 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:46.480 against Tech. Yeah. So if I said over under. 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:52.560 Eight wins, oh, I think I'd take the under Okay, 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:57.200 I okay. So Tom Herman is a great head coach. 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:00.760 We agree with that in terms of like his ability 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:03.879 to sort of establish a culture and communicate and hire 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:07.160 and recruits. I think he is a very, very very 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:10.080 good head coach. Great might be too far. But the 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:13.520 Houston offense wasn't particularly good last year. No, you speak 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:16.679 confidently about Tom Herman's offensi ability. They finished season like 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:20.000 eightieth nationally in offense, and that's playing in a non 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:20.920 power conference. 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.720 Yeah, so actually played, They played their best games against 0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:26.920 the best teams in their schedule, exactly. 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:29.040 They got up for games they almost played to their 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:32.119 opponents a little bit too much. So I'm curious to 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:34.800 see because it's going to be a shift on some level, 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.520 and they don't have Danta Foreman, who's gone pro. It's 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:40.919 I'm curious about their offensive identity and what it looks like. 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:45.239 I'm not ready to pencil in a statement like we 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:46.640 know their offense is going to be good. 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:48.639 I don't know that. I'm not ready to say that. 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:53.680 All right, fair enough, Joe, is it Yan's or Yannis 0:19:56.000 --> 0:20:02.479 Our next question? Let's go yan A. What are the 0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:07.399 top five least likable fan bases in college football? This 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:09.760 what is your definition? Time? This question is going to 0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:14.920 get us in a world of trouble least likable fan bases? Yeah? 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:17.159 What is this? 0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:20.160 Is this the fan base that is the most consistently 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:25.280 obnoxious by our arbitrary definition of consistent. Is it an 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:27.800 in person thing like in the stadium they're the worst? 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:31.680 Is it, you know, a Twitter thing? Is it a 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:35.639 harassment thing of everybody that can be harassed? 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:39.560 Is it an unrealistic expectation thing? Okay, I see where 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:42.720 you're going with this, So I would say it's too 0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:45.680 pronged the answer. The first thing that I will look 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:50.160 at is consistency. Okay, not all fan bases fall into 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:53.480 that category. Not all fan bases are consistently terrible or 0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:57.440 consistently great. And then beyond that, if you run out 0:20:57.480 --> 0:20:59.199 of options, I think you need to look at the 0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:02.679 extra look at the polls to see, at least in 0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:06.600 our limited knowledge here, which ones have been at their 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:09.600 worst when things are going a little bit haywire with 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:10.240 the program? 0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:15.200 Can I nominate the worst, very very very very very 0:21:15.280 --> 0:21:19.040 outlying bottom sure fan base? It's got to be Penn State, right, 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:21.879 I would say so? Yeah, Penn State is on my list. 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:26.359
