1
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: Oh, what an era of journalism we find ourselves in.

2
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: Huh some journalisming on the show tonight. Not by us,

3
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 1: We are merely commentators, but I will bring you some

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: or at least some things masperating as journalism. It is Thursday,

5
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: June twenty ninth, the year of our lower twenty twenty three.

6
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: We are jam packed hi a top a fluctuating downtown Nashville,

7
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: Tennessee storm in one minute Sunday, the next minute, it's

8
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 1: gonna be like one oh one tomorrow. And we yes,

9
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 1: we have to win four games to win the softball championship.

10
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 1: Prayers would be appreciated greatly. Georgia versus who this year?

11
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: Who's their toughest competition? If you said the Atlanta Journal Constitution,

12
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: as is usually the case of these days, you are right.

13
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: Some tell me there was a smoking gun in the

14
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: AJAC when it comes to Georgia Athletics. I've yet to

15
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: find it, but we will discus. In fact, we're going

16
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: to lead the show with it. Got a lot of

17
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: requests to talk about this, so I'll talk about it.

18
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: What ifs Those are back tonight. Bold predictions Those are

19
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: back tonight. Opinions of Jim Harbaugh on the show tonight.

20
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 1: Always a fun filled topic when we can fit Jim

21
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: Harbaugh on the show. Also, we're going to talk some Texas.

22
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: Nebraska's on fire right now, not the way Canada is

23
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: with the wildfires. I just mean on the recruiting trail.

24
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: I say the Canadian wildfires, cause that smoke made it

25
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: all the way down here. Yesterday. I thought that was

26
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: just an East coast problem, but it became a Middle

27
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: Tennessee problem. So yeah, Nebraska figuratively on fire and recruiting.

28
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: How good can they really be? For those of you

29
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: who are historians of this sport, you know, once upon

30
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: a time there was a period where Nebraska was a

31
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: mainstay on the national stage. And then those of you

32
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: who are twenty five years old have never known that world.

33
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: Could we ever go back? Is Matt Rule the right

34
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: guy to do it? They're watching us in Hamstead, North Carolina, Provo,

35
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: Utah Lake, Summon, Old Georgia, Newark, Ohio. Thank you a

36
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: paper stack for tuning in. I gotta tell you I

37
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: probably should read more of it to you, because we

38
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: get prison mail here. We get regular fan mail by

39
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: the truckload. We get several wedding invitations per month, Jesse Colin,

40
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: what would you say, we average like probably three or

41
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: four wedding invitations per month. But I gotta be honest

42
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: with all of you. This Sunday, I will reveal to

43
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: you the greatest single piece of mail or package, etc.

44
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: That I have ever gotten at this address in downtown Nashville, Tennessee.

45
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: And it is. It is a physical thing. It's not

46
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: a letter. It is going to be featured on the

47
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 1: set and I gotta call it one of the best

48
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: days of my life, maybe the best day of my life.

49
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: Anyone who's watched this show for a long time, you

50
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: know I don't ask for much. In fact, I'll wear

51
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: the same T shirt every show. I am a minimalist

52
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: by the very nature of the word. But there's one

53
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: thing I have longed to add to this set, and frankly,

54
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was available. And maybe it is,

55
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: maybe it isn't, But we got ourselves won and he's coming.

56
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: He's coming Sunday Night, Immunity start the show. Let's dive

57
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: into something serious. Okay, so let's turn our smiles upside

58
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: down for a second. Let's get the serious faces on.

59
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: I had the DMS full asking me what I thought

60
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: about this Atlanta Journal Constitution piece on Georgia football, and

61
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: first I had to ask which one, and then I

62
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: found out, oh, there's a new one. Okay, So it's

63
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: a funny thing that happens. I'll tell you this to

64
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: start off with. When you work in our business, a

65
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: funny thing happens. You see a lot. Obviously, we go

66
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: on the road a lot, talk to a lot of staffers,

67
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: talk to a lot of coaches off the record. You

68
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: know a lot of the players, So you see a

69
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: lot of the sides of the sport that are better

70
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: kept out of public eye. That doesn't necessarily mean hiding

71
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: things that are illegal. It just means, you know, if

72
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: you're a middle linebacker and you're starting corner, get into

73
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: a little scuffle in the tunnel and there are no

74
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: cameras around, it doesn't exactly behoove the head coach to

75
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: head to the press conference. State you guys will never

76
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: guess what just happened in the tunnel. Now, in reality,

77
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: anyone who's been around sports or competition knows those sorts

78
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: of things happen. Well, then there are other more serious

79
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: things that happen a lot of times behind the scenes

80
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: various college football programs, and sometimes we're aware of them,

81
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,799
Speaker 1: and sometimes you know about them, and sometimes you don't,

82
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: And therefore there's always this public interest in what isn't seen.

83
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: I do that on this show to our benefit. You've

84
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: never seen Jesse and Colin. That's called theater of the imagination,

85
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: and it works because you really wonder what do they

86
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: look like? Well in college athletics, it's kind of the

87
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: same way. You wonder my rival school landed that recruit.

88
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: I wonder what they'd I bet they did something underhanded

89
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: to get him. That coach over there, boy, his kids

90
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: look like model citizens. I bet behind the scenes, there's

91
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: some really nasty stuff that goes on in that program.

92
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: And if you're not careful, you'll get someone with what

93
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: Mema would call a burr in their saddle, who covers

94
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: your program, who prays on that sort of thing. But

95
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: what happens in our line of work sometimes, and I

96
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: am privy to it, is I find out how many

97
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: people talk about things they really know nothing about. You

98
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: experience this if you're in insurance sales, if you're a

99
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: bus driver, because this happens in every walk of life.

100
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: Believe it or not. It also happens in college athletics.

101
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: It happens in fandom, it happens in coaching, it happens

102
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: in media, it happens in talking. Sometimes people accuse me

103
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: of such things. How does this relate to Georgia football? Though, well,

104
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, but first let me let me illustrate

105
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: something and then I'll dive into this AJC report. So

106
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: Twitter has a new feature that ironically reveals a whole

107
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: lot about this Georgia AJC deal. Almost like the biggest

108
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: rivalry in the SEC. Now Twitter has this new feature.

109
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: It's a very interesting direction that Elon and company are

110
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: taking the platform. You've always been able to post video there,

111
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: but now when you post video on Twitter, I do

112
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: it all the time. There are some pretty surface based

113
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: andalytic results that you can get from it. You know

114
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: what one thing they have given me that's been like

115
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: a tool above all tools, has been and that is

116
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: the audience retention metric. I post a video on Twitter

117
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: two minutes long, let's say, and I can see which

118
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: percentage of viewers finish the entire video, and it's always

119
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: below ten percent. Yet there are comments by the hundreds,

120
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: which leads me to reasonably to douce. People are talking

121
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: about this even though they didn't watch the whole video.

122
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: I appreciate the engagement. Now let's talk about the AJAC

123
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: and Georgia. So there are a lot of serious things,

124
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: some terrible things that have happened in the Georgia football

125
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: program since they won the national championship up there. You

126
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: know my feelings on that. So I'm not here to

127
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: make any light of that. But I had a lot

128
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: of you hit me up and ask me what I

129
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: thought about this latest piece from the AJAC this week,

130
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna tell you what I have no problem with.

131
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: First Off, I got no problem and I have immense

132
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: respect for investigative journalism when it's done the right way.

133
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: Investigative journalism, when done the right way a number one,

134
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: you can't see through it, and number two, you can't

135
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: argue with it. You can be mad at it, you

136
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: can hate what it says, but you can't argue with it.

137
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: Because investigative journalism, when done right, just presents facts and

138
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: then it kind of lets you decide what you think

139
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,239
Speaker 1: about it. That's the beauty of investigative journalism. I wouldn't

140
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: necessarily characterize what's happened between the AJAC and Georgia lately

141
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: as strict investigative journalism. There has been investigative journalism that's happened,

142
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: but it's kind of had this this weird cloak of

143
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: editorialized nature around it. It's kind of like half investigating,

144
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: half opinion. Very interesting. So for those of you who

145
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,679
Speaker 1: aren't aware of what's happening down there, you know Kirby

146
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: Smart's been on a roll. George has been on a roll.

147
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: There was a headline this week. I'm gonna read you

148
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: the headline in the second, but you already know some

149
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: of the negative headlines there. George's has some trouble. George

150
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: just has some issues. And the thing about it is

151
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: when you slip up in one area, it makes you

152
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: perceptionally vulnerable in every area. What I mean by that

153
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: is they got a street racing problem there. That's no mystery.

154
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: They've had it. There have been several headlines about it.

155
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: I have not done a single segment on this show

156
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: about it because I have nothing to add. Just is

157
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: what it is. It's really not much commentary I can

158
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: give you. Also, it's not a street racing show. Here's

159
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: here's two downsides. One, terrible stuff can happen, like we

160
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: saw in January, the most tragic consequences imaginable can happen.

161
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: And that's the most real world stuff. Anything else pales

162
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: in comparison to that. You lose lives. Really everything else

163
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: is kind of distantly secondary, but secondary. Nonetheless, here's the

164
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: other thing that happens moving forward. Because you have been very,

165
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: very shaky in one area, you sort of lose benefit

166
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: of the doubt in other areas. And everyone knows that

167
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: you've lost benefit of the doubt. And that's why when

168
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: you open your laptop and you see this headline Georgia

169
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: football program rallies when players are accused of abusing women,

170
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: you know what the public's mindset is immediately going to

171
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: shift to. You put it behind a paywall, and even

172
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: more so, you know what it's gonna shift to cause

173
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: many of them actually clicking on it and paying you

174
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: to read it. And I can assure you, if you

175
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: ever have a smoking gun, it ain't gonna behind an

176
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: AJAC paywall when it comes to Georgia football. That's the

177
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: first thing I thought. Then the second thing I thought,

178
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: because I actually went and read it, was where is

179
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: it I've watched this happen before, so I go detail

180
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: by detail, especially when you deal with stuff like sexual

181
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: assault allegations. This is not rumors of a depth chart,

182
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: turnover that stuff whatever. That's football, that really doesn't mean

183
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: anything in the grand scheme of things. But when you're

184
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: talking about sexual assault, you know, when you follow it

185
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: up and you click on that article and the first

186
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: paragraph I see reads, in a single weekend, a sixteen

187
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: year old old University of Georgia football recruit broke curfew,

188
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: drank with potential teammates in an Athens bar, and ended

189
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: up in a police station under investigation for sexual assault.

190
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: Georgia signed him. Anyway, When that's what you give me,

191
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: I want more, because you just accused the kid of

192
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: something pretty serious, pretty heavy. I want more. Well, the

193
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: AJAC didn't give it to me. Now, I'll credit Ja Crow,

194
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: good friend of the program over at Dog's HQ works

195
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: for another company. Now, he actually did give me the

196
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: rest of the story today. In fact, they didn't put

197
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: it behind a paywall either. It's on their website for

198
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: all to see. And I find myself reading that entire

199
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: police report, and I find myself listening to or in

200
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: this case, reading transcripts from the accuser, transcripts from the player, who,

201
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: by the way, is Jamal Jarrett with Georgia now, and

202
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: I find myself looking at text message exchanges and then

203
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: I get to the end of it, and I watched

204
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: the entire store glory just vaporize and the allegation vaporize.

205
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: And I ask myself, how many people actually dug this deep,

206
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 1: including the folks who published that initial piece at the AJAC,

207
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: or if they did dig that deep, and this gets

208
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,479
Speaker 1: even more nefarious, why was I not presented with this context?

209
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: You know, Roe and the guy's over at Dog's HQ.

210
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: By the way, they didn't editorialize intentionally. They just put

211
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: the facts out there. That's actually called investigative journalism, by

212
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: the way, for those unfamiliar. They just put the facts

213
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: out there and they let me read them, and then

214
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: I was able to decide what happened in this particular instance.

215
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: This particular instance is bad. Also, nothing that's not going

216
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: to happen on about a thousand other official visits all

217
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: across the country this fall, and there are no charges,

218
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: all dismissed. That part's kind of lets kind of bear.

219
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to really pay attention to, you know,

220
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: the sexual assault charges being dismissed. Let's you know, let's

221
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: paint a picture of a guy for the rest of

222
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: his life. Especially it's just collateral damage and achieving an

223
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: overall agenda. So I read that and I say, Okay,

224
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: well that's one down. But this AJAC piece is talking

225
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: about a whole lot more than just that. So then

226
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: we get to Adam Anderson, and Adam Anderson is going

227
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: to go on trial for rape eventually, I think later

228
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: this year. I believe that's when that's gonna happen. I'm

229
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: not gonna do the whole thing everyone else does to

230
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 1: try and convince you I take sexual assault seriously. I'm

231
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: just going to tell you I do probably probably let

232
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: me run the justice system. We do more than just

233
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: put you in jail if you found guilty of that

234
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: sort of thing. So there you go. I take it

235
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: real seriously. I mockingly say that, because it's a joke

236
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: to have to watch people try and convince the public

237
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,719
Speaker 1: they take that stuff seriously. No one's pro rape around here,

238
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: as far as I can tell, no one in my

239
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: social circle is. But what I'm also not is pro

240
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: let's go burn a guy at the stake before we've

241
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,599
Speaker 1: actually done our due diligence. So that's what's going to

242
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: happen when that goes to trial, and then we'll see

243
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: what comes of that. But the AJAC had a problem with,

244
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: as they can kind of put it, eight Georgia football

245
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: players showing up in court to defend Adam Anderson. Now

246
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: I read through the thing, admittedly I scanned through it,

247
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: But what I took from that is the folks who

248
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: wrote that piece were trying to convince me that there

249
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: really was not a second thought paid to the victim.

250
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: There really was not a second thought paid to the allegation.

251
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,599
Speaker 1: It's just we're going to go stand up for this

252
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: dude at all costs. Facts be damned, allegations be damned,

253
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: really don't care and will even make light of sexual assault.

254
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: Well then I do a little digging and I find

255
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: out it's not as it was presented at all. Actually,

256
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: what they did was they went and showed up at

257
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: a bond hearing where they're trying to determine if you're

258
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: a flight risk or not. And they were character witnesses

259
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: that showed up, and that's really what's happened. So far,

260
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: because the thing is not going to trial. So I

261
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: listened to that, and then I read that, and I decide, well,

262
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 1: first off, what in the worlds Kirby Smart going to

263
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: do an if he doesn't like it? And secondly, what

264
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: am I supposed to make of that? Because really the

265
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: allegation overarching here is that there are massive cultural issues

266
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: at Georgia. There's a culture of not taking this stuff seriously.

267
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: And so so far, that's exactly how I'm going to

268
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: phrase my thoughts on this. So far, no one's brought

269
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: me anything, no one's written anything that looks to me

270
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: like that's a major issue there. Now. Granted, I get

271
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: a little bit more access to that program even than

272
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: you do, and so I've seen a little bit more

273
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: even than most of you have. There will be some

274
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: people who just think I may be here carrying water

275
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: for the university in exchange for that access. I can

276
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: tell you that's not true. I can promise you that's

277
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: not true. They know that's not true. But if you

278
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: want to think that, you can think that. That's fine.

279
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: Here's all I would ask you. I would ask you

280
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: in return, if you disagree with my assessment on things,

281
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: I want you to tell me how you think this

282
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: should be handled. I want your opinion on the facts,

283
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: actual facts, you know, not the suggestive way that some

284
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: have been presented, but all the context, all the facts

285
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: in the room. Because what I got a lot of,

286
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: and I went back and forth with some of you

287
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: today on this privately, what I got a lot of

288
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: was why I wouldn't let any of that fly around

289
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: my program? What would you do? This goes back to

290
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: what I started the segment with. I told you what

291
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: I learned a lot through looking at some of our

292
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: analytics is hardly anyone gets to the end of those

293
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: videos we post, hardly anyone, yet a ton of folks

294
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: comment on them. So what I did about fifteen times today,

295
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: I kid you not, I went fifteen for fifteen on this.

296
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: I asked folks who were disagreeing with me on my

297
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: assessment of Georgia versus the AJAC. I said, hey, what

298
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: was your biggest takeaway from that AJAC article? And these

299
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: are fifteen folks, by the way, coming at me who

300
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: in some former fashion think that Kirby Smart needs to

301
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: answer for this or this or that should happen to

302
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart. I said, what was your biggest takeaway, and

303
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: they said, oh man, they're letting folks guilty of sexual

304
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: assault off easy up there. I said, be specific, what

305
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: is your biggest takeaway? And they beat around the bush

306
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: about three or four more times because they knew what

307
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: I had figured out about them. They hadn't read the

308
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: AJAC article because it's behind the pay wall, and most

309
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: of my friends are cheap. They hadn't read the AJAC article.

310
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: They took away exactly what the folks who wrote that

311
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: article wanted him to take away, and that was a headline,

312
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: a screenshot, kind of a snippet, an idea really more

313
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: so than facts. You were supposed to take an idea

314
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: away from that, I'm not necessarily sure what's happening down

315
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: there in my own home state, by the way, between

316
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: the AJAC and Georgia. It's an editorial death wish, But

317
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: that's their business. I'm saying. If the AJAC brings facts

318
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: and you look at them and they're irrefutable, indisputable, it

319
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: is what it is. I'd probably be the first one

320
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: to lead his show as demanding answers from the head

321
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: coach at the University of Georgia what they brought the

322
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: other day. Truthfully, guys, I wasn't even going to put

323
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: on the show until you asked me to put it on. Here.

324
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: What they brought the other day was a lot more

325
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: frustrating to me than anything. I'll tell you the other folks,

326
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: their voices won't be heard, but I'll speak for them.

327
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: The other folks who get extremely mad at this are

328
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: people who have actually been involved in those kinds of

329
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: allegations where it was real, and parents of recruits. You

330
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: want to talk to folks who get hot about this,

331
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: Talk to a mom of a prospective athlete that's either

332
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: on the team right now George, or is going to

333
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: be on the team at Georgia. They're the ones who

334
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: look around and say, hold on a second, now, if

335
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: my kid screws up, if my kid's guilty of certain things,

336
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: he deserves to be punished. I would hate it as

337
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: his parent, But he deserves to be punished. That's not

338
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: what scares me, because I think I raised him to

339
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: know right from wrong. What scares me is what if

340
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: he gets himself into a similar situation. Is thousands of

341
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 1: other people do every day in this country, and nothing

342
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: illegal is necessarily done. Maybe some poor decision making but

343
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: nothing illegal is done. And yet you got like an

344
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: in state media at Baratus that sharpens their knives and

345
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: comes at him, and they're really not coming at him.

346
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: They're coming with the dude who leads the program. For

347
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: some reason, he's just kind of collateral damage. Is that

348
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: or I want to send my kid? You talk to parents.

349
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: I've had this experience this week. I've talked to a

350
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: couple of mothers. That's that's their sentiment. Their sentiment is

351
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: what in the world are we walking into. We think

352
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: that big capital g there that may be the best

353
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: program in the country, and based on what they control,

354
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: I would agree with him at the moment. But they

355
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: don't control everything. They don't control the media in the state,

356
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: which is a good thing obviously, but in this case,

357
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: it's really it's really interesting to watch how that works. Again,

358
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: I've tried to explain it. I am from the state

359
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: of Georgia. I mean, we subscribe to the AJAC and

360
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: I there's been something that's changed in the past year

361
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: and a half to two years now. Georgia fans would

362
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: tell you, oh, they've always been out to get us,

363
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: But every fan base thinks the media is out to

364
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 1: get their team. I'm saying there is a threshold that

365
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: is met where even I'll take notice of it, and

366
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: that threshold has been met in the state of Georgia.

367
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: So anyway, my argument back and forth, respectfully with some

368
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: of you today has been Okay, so you say that

369
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: this should happen or that should happen, Well, what would

370
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,719
Speaker 1: you do. We've already established you didn't really read the article,

371
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 1: so you're just taking away really suggestions that you were

372
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: supposed to take away. What would you do? Though? And

373
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: I want to address this and I'll move on. Some

374
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: of you said, well, any kid who even had a

375
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: whiff of those sexual assault allegations around him would be

376
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: off my team. You're lying about that. You've just never

377
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: been in that position before. If you were in that position,

378
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: you'd have all the details and you'd learn how muddy

379
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: some of those situations are. And for a young head

380
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: coach this week, you got to be really careful. I

381
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: still classify Kirby Smart as a young head coach. But

382
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: he had a guy who was a defensive coordinator for

383
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: him up until two years ago, Dan Lanning, who is

384
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: a big friend of this program. Lanning goes to Oregon,

385
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: he had a kid accused of something similar a few

386
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: months back, and Lanning kicked him off the team. The

387
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: allegations didn't stick, they were dropped, didn't happen, and Lanning

388
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: had to let him back on the team. Now, I'll

389
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: ask you what could that potentially do to your locker room?

390
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: Your kids see you not wait to get the full story,

391
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: and you make a move. I don't know Dan Lanning's heart.

392
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying some guys would be tempted to make a

393
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: move to appease the media types and the ones out

394
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: there with the torches and pitchforks, not knowing a fraction

395
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: of the details, and you appeased them for the moment.

396
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: Here's the problem. Then the facts came out. You know

397
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: what that can do to your internal culture. See, because

398
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:48,959
Speaker 1: if your internal culture is strong, and if a lot

399
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: of what's being reported about you is bs, it won't

400
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,959
Speaker 1: take you down. But you can take you down. You

401
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: can take you down when you don't have your guys back,

402
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: when they've done nothing wrong. You don't have your guys back,

403
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 1: and then dead you're willing to move a little bit

404
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 1: too quick. In some cases, these are lessons you have

405
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: to learn. There is no microwave quick, easy route to

406
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: learning these lessons. That's why it's different. Call in plays

407
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:14,719
Speaker 1: you can get there faster. You can get to an

408
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: advanced level call in plays and understanding and diagramming exs

409
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: knows faster than you ever have because technology gives you

410
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: access to thousands more mental and physical reps than it

411
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: ever has. But to manage people, it still largely works

412
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: the same way it always has. Dealing with outside issues,

413
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: it still works the same way it always has, and

414
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: the consequences of success still work the same way they

415
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: always have. I doubt Kirby Smart ever thought this was

416
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: going to be an issue. I doubt he ever thought that,

417
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: out of all the things that could go wrong after

418
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: they've won a couple of titles, this is how it

419
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: would work. That's the way it's always going to be

420
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 1: when you're on top. That's the way it's always going

421
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: to be. Now, let me give a little disclaimer at

422
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: the end of this, because just as I said, a

423
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: lot of people didn't actually that AJAC article. A lot

424
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: of people didn't listen to what I just said, So

425
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: I know what we're gonna deal with. I dreaded even

426
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: doing this tonight because I know what we're gonna deal with.

427
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 1: There is a little group, a little cabal of writers

428
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: out there who will take what I just did as

429
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 1: dismissing very serious allegations, and they will take it as

430
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: victim blaming, and they will take it as me essentially.

431
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: You know, if I rotated in this chair, you'd see

432
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: a big sec or a block g on my back.

433
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: I know that's gonna happen. Nothing I can do about it,

434
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: and so I'll take the same advice that I would

435
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: give anyone else. Make what other folks think about you

436
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: none of your business, and just move on. That's where

437
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 1: we are. So again, I reserve the right if they

438
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: were to come out with a more explosive report tomorrow

439
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: and all the i's are dotted and t's are crossed

440
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: and it's indisputable, I'll sing the same chorus as the

441
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: rest of you are right now. The difference is, I

442
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: don't think the sheet music says what you think it

443
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: says at this point in time, according to the refrain

444
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: I've been listening to. All right, let's talk about more

445
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: happy things. Please talk about more happy things. You know,

446
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: actual football that were less than seventy days away from playing,

447
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: Thank you guys shoud be in tuned in live. What

448
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: IF's this fall? What if this happens? What if that happens?

449
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: Some healthy hypotheticals here tonight. What if a college football

450
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: playoff is made up of teams from not just Texas,

451
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: not just Texas and Florida, but Texas, Florida and California.

452
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: This would be earth shaking, This would be such a

453
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: huge deal. Nice graphic, Jesse Wow. Or maybe Bradley made

454
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: this one Colin punched it. That's all I know. So

455
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: let's just say it's twenty fifteen because FSU made it

456
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen and fourteen. I think those were the

457
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 1: first two years of the playoff. However, it worked, So

458
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: let's go back to like twenty fifteen. What if I

459
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: walked up to you and I said, friend, I've got

460
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: a proposition bet for you. I'm all ears, you say,

461
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: I said, between now twenty fifteen and twenty twenty two,

462
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: only one team from those three states combined will make

463
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: the College Football Playoff Texas, California, and Florida. Only one

464
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: team out of all of those states combined will make

465
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: the playoff. How deep would you have to get down

466
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: the list before you got the TCU because that's the

467
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: only one that's done it, and it happened last year,

468
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: had been USC, it had been UCLA. It's not Miami,

469
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: it's not Florida, it's not FSU. From that point on,

470
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: it what in FSU. It's not Texas, it's not Texas,

471
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: A and m it's TCU. So all of a sudden,

472
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: this year, we've got opportunities in all these states. Florida

473
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: State is right up there either having or sharing the

474
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: odds on favorite title to win the ACC. We got

475
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: USC flat out favored to win the Pac twelve. We

476
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: got Texas flat out favored to win the Big Twelve.

477
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: I don't need you to come in the comment section

478
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: and tell me how often Texas has been favored before

479
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: and falling flat on their face. I don't need you

480
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: to tell me that, because this piece of paper courtesy

481
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: of producer Jesse, tells me that six different teams have

482
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: won the Big Twelve since the last time Texas won

483
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: it in the year of Our Lord two thousand and nine. Honestly,

484
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: I can't believe that's a real stat but it is.

485
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: So what would happen if this went down, Well, it

486
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: would it would turn the sport on its ear. I mean,

487
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: any one of them, just Texas being in the playoff

488
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: would be a huge deal, just Southern cal just Florida

489
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: State or Miami. I don't know how in the world

490
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:38,959
Speaker 1: Florida makes it this year. And they'll take that as

491
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: me ganging up on them. I'm not, guys, you're over

492
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: unders five and a half, But why not throw the

493
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: Gators in there if they're in that playoff. It's been

494
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: a pretty exciting year. And also we got first blood.

495
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: We got at least we got fresh blood. In some

496
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: cases it would be first timers there. This would be

497
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: a massive deal. And then you younger kiddos out there

498
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: would get to experience sitting there next to dad on

499
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: the couch. You get to experience something that we got

500
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 1: to experience once upon a time Texas under Mac Brown,

501
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: back then Pete Carroll's USC hey Man, we sat on

502
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: the couch once and watched that Once upon a Saturday.

503
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: Those were some dominant programs that don't even get me

504
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: started on what Florida State versus Miami used to mean,

505
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: and it could again. Next up, we're going all the

506
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,959
Speaker 1: way to the West coast for this one. Roland asked,

507
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: what if dj uy Anglila has a Michael Pennix like

508
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: turnaround at Oregon State? Well, what is a Michael Pennix

509
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: like turnaround? Some of you may have had a little

510
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: shaky memory from last year. Remember Pennix was at Indiana

511
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: injury prone, turnover prone, and so he transfers to Washington

512
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: and approximately nobody makes a huge deal about it, and

513
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, his completion percentage goes up

514
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: twelve points. He's got over forty six hundred yards passing.

515
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: Last year, threw the ball five one hundred and fifty

516
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: four times and is right in the thick of the

517
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: Heisman race and resurrects Washington football. And he's back this year.

518
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: By the way, he was out at e Leit eleven

519
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. We were out there watching

520
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: him throw dime after dime after dime. Well, what if

521
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: Dju does this? Well, I don't think that there's any

522
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: world where DJ throws the ball five hundred and fifty

523
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: four times this year. Oregon State threw the ball three

524
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty three times last year. A completion percentage, though,

525
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 1: you get DJ up around sixty five percent, you're probably

526
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: giving Oregon State everything they need to win because they're

527
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: returning a lot of really good pieces. And keep in

528
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: mind that's not a five and seventeam from last year. Again,

529
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: those of you with the shaky memories, Oregon State ten

530
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: wins last year and another two losses were by a

531
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: combined six points. They only got beat by double digits

532
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: once they were right there. They were right there at

533
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: the end of it. If they have a former five star,

534
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: number one overall quarterback in the country play up to

535
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: his potential, and then they surround him with a really physical,

536
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: sound football team and an extremely underrated coaching staff, they

537
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: can win the Pac twelve. That's the answer. They could

538
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: win the Pac twelve. They have currently the fifth best

539
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: odds to win the Pac twelve. Yes, that's right, all right. Third,

540
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: and I will just be real with you. I'll take

541
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: a sip from the challie first. I'll be real with you.

542
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: This is a what if that's taken us way out

543
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 1: on a limb, But why not, We're gonna do it

544
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: for Kent. So Kent asked, what if North Carolina's defense

545
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: improves to an acceptable level with Drake May at quarterback

546
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: leading the offense and Chip lindsay the new offensive coordinator. Well,

547
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: it would be really big and they could win the ACC.

548
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: That's the answer to the what if. Now my response, Kent,

549
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: who is not here to defend himself, would be how

550
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: how's this going to happen? They allowed twenty eight plus

551
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: nine times last year. They were last in the ACC

552
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: and pass yards per game, points per game, sacks allow,

553
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: or sacks recorded. They were they were bad. They were terrible,

554
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: one of the worst defenses in the country. They lost

555
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: fifteen kids to the Portal. Five corners they lost to

556
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: the Portal. So, yeah, what if is a fun game.

557
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: We like to keep it in the realm of believability,

558
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: you know, like, what if the softball team won four

559
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: in a row tomorrow night, we would be champions of Smyrna, Tennessee.

560
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: That's what would happen, JP Angels and Nowfield. You know

561
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: it could happen. We could win four games tomorrow night.

562
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: North Carolina being a respectable defense this year, and if

563
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: they need bulletin board material, I'm giving it to him

564
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: free of charge. That's a that's a bridge a little

565
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: bit too far for me to cross. If you're listening

566
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: on podcasts and you're a tar Hill fan, count your

567
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: count your blessings, because if you're watching on YouTube, the

568
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: harsh reality is graphically staring you in the face. And

569
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: the thing about it is you have Drake Mayott quarterback.

570
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: You got a Heisman caliber quarterback there, who, by the way,

571
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: was their leading rusher last year. So we could stand

572
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: to get a little better in the backfield. But man,

573
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: if they could just be respectable. This is one of

574
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: those teams where you say, could you just please be

575
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: like the forty fifth best defense in the country, that

576
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: would be enough. Again, a bridge a little bit too

577
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: far to cross. Now, this one's gonna it's gonna rile

578
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: some people up. I want you to remember, I'm so nervous.

579
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm rolling around in my chair right now. Colin loves

580
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: when I back away from the mic. I want you

581
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: guys in Gainesville to remember, this is not my what if.

582
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: This is Jason's what if. And he's got a blue

583
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: check mark, so you better shut up and take him seriously.

584
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: Jason said, what if Florida goes under five and a

585
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: half wins, don't don't bump Statistically, if you just look

586
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: at the odds market, this is what they're over underwin

587
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,959
Speaker 1: total is five and a half. Okay, So statistically, Vegas

588
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: would tell you there's just as good a chance they

589
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: go under five and a half as they go over

590
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: five and a half. That's kind of how the odds

591
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,719
Speaker 1: market works. And this number has been on the market

592
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: for a while, so you would assume the value has

593
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: been pounded out either way. So the betting market, the

594
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: sharpest minds in the betting community view five and a

595
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: half as an accurate indicator of what Florida's preseason win

596
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: total should be. Could they win nine games? Sure they could.

597
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: But just as we entertain that last show, on this show,

598
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: Kent wants to note, oh no, no, no, no, no,

599
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: what happens if the underhits. Please don't start talking to

600
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: me about juice and actual percentages. Don't get that. Fine

601
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: on the point, you understand what I'm saying. When Jesse

602
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: put up the Jesse put up the slider there, I

603
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: knew what was coming in the comment section. I know

604
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: what minus won fifty means on the over. Quiet down, people,

605
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: Let's just pay attention to the broader point. If Florida

606
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: goes under five and a half wins, all rationale will

607
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: have been tossed out the box car. It's an interesting

608
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: way to phrase it, but it will rationale. Meaning there

609
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: are a lot of people who are sitting here right

610
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: now with us in June late. There are some people

611
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: who are listening to me on Friday morning, and you're

612
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: driving down I ninety five, knowing how ninety five moves

613
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: right now, probably not very fast, and you're probably thinking

614
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: to yourself, you know, Okay, if Billy wins five games

615
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: this year, I'm gonna convince myself now then I'm gonna

616
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: give him a third year. I'm gonna be willing to

617
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: be patient. It worked with Norvell, it'll probably work with

618
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: Sarkin Texas this year. So I'm gonna be I'm gonna

619
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: be that loyal soldier that's gonna wait and give him

620
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: one more year. You could think that all you want to. Now,

621
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: when you start racking up losses and you're sitting at

622
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: home during bowl season and you got folks calling for

623
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: Billy Napier's job on message boards, and you got other

624
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: coaches being fired not being as bad as you were

625
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: this year, you know what happens. And that's before the

626
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: recruiting class starts crumbling. But that's where my mind immediately goes,

627
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: Billy Napier goes five and seven. Okay, terrible, but okay,

628
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,239
Speaker 1: what happens to this recruiting class is the recruiting very

629
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: well right now, and I think that's what would ultimately

630
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: determine his fate. Well, that plus what the administration feels

631
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: about him. They have not had three consecutive losing seasons

632
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: since nineteen forty five, nineteen forty six, and nineteen forty seven,

633
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: so it would be historic. That's part one of the

634
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: what if. Part two of the what if is they

635
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: got the third ranked recruiting class in the country right now,

636
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: and it'll be ranked highly no matter what happens between

637
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: now and signing day, unless you go five and seven.

638
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: And then we got to find out how many of

639
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: those recruits stick. That would be the headline. That would

640
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: be the headline around Florida FOOTBA if they went five

641
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: and seven or worse. Academy Sports and Outdoors stocked up

642
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: there just the other day myself, because well, as I said,

643
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: we got a big night coming Friday. But even after that,

644
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: you know, I was talking to one of my buddies

645
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: who works in the in the grilling world, and he

646
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: was throwing around pit boss and Trager and charbroil. And

647
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: while he talking, I'm just sitting there going guide it

648
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: at Academy. Got it at Academy. Got it at Academy.

649
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: Grilling is an amazing thing. I'm good at eating. A

650
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: lot of you guys are good at both sides of

651
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: the equation. They got all the grilling accessories up to

652
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: and including the grill itself at Academy Sports and Outdoors.

653
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: And if you're new around here, you may be thinking,

654
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors, what are they doing selling grills? Exactly?

655
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: You were wrong about them. Walk in the store before

656
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: you judge. They got all the sporting goods equipment. But man,

657
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: do they have so much more. And they've got a

658
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: website that's very easy to use too. I know because

659
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: I did earlier this week or late last week Academy

660
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: dot com. And so if you're headed to the Great Outdoors,

661
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: and I would encourage you to just be mindful of

662
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: that pollution index. F you're on the East coast right now,

663
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: just head to Academy first. Do all your stuff. Head

664
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: to Academy first, and also know that while you're doing it,

665
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:01,520

Speaker 1: sponsor that makes this show free of charge to you.

667
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: I don't know how many of you would stick around

668
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: if you had to pay five or six bucks a

669
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: month for this. I probably wouldn't, but you don't have to,

670
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 1: cause Academy does it for you. So thank you so

671
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: much to them Academy dot com for all your outdoor

672
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 1: sporting goods needs. And then some I did it again today.

673
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 1: I can't help myself. I was talking to our buddies

674
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: at College Football Nerds this morning via text, and they

675
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: were asking me how we get so much engagement on Twitter.

676
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: I'm just airing out dirty laundry right now, but I

677
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: don't care. It's my constitutional right after all. And I

678
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: said to them, what do you mean? I said, well,

679
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: your tweets aren't even that good. Then they gave an example,

680
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: what do you think about Jim bow Fisher? What do

681
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: you think about Dabo Swiney? And it dawned on me.

682
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: We got a show tonight and I haven't asked you

683
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: guys your opinion on anything, so I typed hold please,

684
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: and I went and tweeted out, what is your opinion

685
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: of Jim Harbaugh? And boy did we get some responses.

686
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: So there goes engagement rate again. Colin, here's a good

687
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: endpoint for you. What's your opinion of Jim Harbaugh? You know,

688
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: the head coach at Michigan. You know, the one that

689
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: a few years ago had been left for dead by

690
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: most of the college football public and some some of

691
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: the Michigan fan base as the guy who had got

692
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: him to a good enough spot but was never going

693
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: to get Michigan over the hump. Those three words, I

694
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: cannot tell you over under is in the thousands on

695
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: the amount of times I heard that phrase apply to

696
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: that man. And then all of a sudden things started

697
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: to change. I asked you guys on Twitter today, what

698
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: is your opinion of Jim Harball? You know, everybody pretty

699
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:46,760
Speaker 1: much called him quirky, eccentric, little strange, oddball, goofy. Doesn't matter,

700
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 1: he won't see any of it anyway. I would ask

701
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: you this to start off our little talk here about

702
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,760
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh. How do you not respect someone who really

703
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: intentionally and uncaringly marches to the beat of their own drum.

704
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: There aren't many of us out there. You heard me

705
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 1: say us, right, I mean, look, what you see is

706
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 1: what you get here. I think you're pretty sure of

707
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: that by now. But with Jim Harbaugh, you can also

708
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: be sure what you see is what you get. I

709
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: guess I don't think it's a me thing. I think

710
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: it should be an every person thing. How do you

711
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,280
Speaker 1: not appreciate it? It doesn't have to appeal to you.

712
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: You don't have to identify with him. Most people don't

713
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: identify with Jim Harbaugh. But how do you not look

714
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: at that guy? Even if you're an Ohio State fan,

715
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: even hate the team, But how do you not look

716
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 1: on the surface and say, hey, that guy knows who

717
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: he is and knows who he isn't and is one

718
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,720
Speaker 1: and doesn't pretend to be the other. I have always noticed,

719
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: and I still noticed it today, a lot of folks

720
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: who are taking little shots at Harball, which is fine.

721
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: I did ask your opinion. After all, I've noticed that

722
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 1: some people when a coach is robotic and a coach

723
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: just engages in what they call coach speak, just mindless

724
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: amounts of clear SHA's here at cliches there, they go, boo, no,

725
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 1: be real, be authentic. And then you got a guy

726
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: like Harbor who comes along who is nothing if not

727
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: authentic and They're like, boo, weirdo boo. Come on, now,

728
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: let's make our minds up. Do we want authenticity or

729
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: do we want a robot? Do we want ai horrorball?

730
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: Do we want the real horrball? You remember when it

731
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: wasn't going so good for Michigan. I know you guys

732
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: up there, Dude, you remember when it wasn't going so

733
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: good for Michigan. I do. I've got a buddy. He

734
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: is very real. He's a very hardcore Michigan fan, and

735
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: he very much said it's time to move on, Jimothy James, Jim,

736
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 1: it's time to move on. He's glad he was not

737
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: listened to. I know a lot of you are the

738
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,240
Speaker 1: same way. Some of you are man enough to admit

739
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: that you once sold your Jim Harbaugh stock. I like

740
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: that Miami Heat Finals Game one where Ray Allen hit

741
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,959
Speaker 1: the late three. Believe it or not, I was there too. Yes,

742
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: I've been to multiple NBA Finals games in Miami, and

743
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: I remember, I remember a lot of you left and

744
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, there's that famous footage of

745
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: everyone trying to run back into the arena, and they

746
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: didn't let you in, did they. Well, Michigan's letting you

747
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 1: back in. A lot of you bailed on Harborne. They're

748
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: letting you back in. But it's not hard to see

749
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: why people were bailing, especially after the COVID year they

750
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: went two to four. It was weird. It was weird. Uh,

751
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: And then everyone said, we're never gonna beat Ohio State

752
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: with this guy. This is just not gonna happen. In fact,

753
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: that's the year where Michigan was accused of running from

754
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 1: Ohio State. They canceled the game. They didn't even play

755
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: the game. I thought you guys had a half decent point,

756
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: by the way when you accused him of that. And

757
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: then where are we the next year? We're up there

758
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: in the snow in ann Arbor and Michigan finally comes through.

759
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: They finally take Ohio State down. But boy, when we

760
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: were in Columbus, Ohio a year later, man atonement is

761
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: at hand. This afternoon weather forecasts look bad. All of

762
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's the fifties, it's sunny. Nothing's gonna slow

763
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: Ohio State down. Yeah, it happened again, And all of

764
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 1: a sudden, Jim Harball, the dude who couldn't get over

765
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: the hump, turns Ohio State into a speed bump and

766
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 1: they go to the playoff back to back years. Haven't

767
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,879
Speaker 1: done anything more than that, but they got two Big

768
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: Ten championships and two wins over Ohio State in their

769
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: back pocket, respectively. And now it's like the toast of

770
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: the Big Ten. And so we bring our alien. We

771
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: can sort with our alien friend. From time to time

772
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: he comes down from outer space and we say, alien,

773
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 1: got a little scenario to bounce off of you, and

774
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: he clicks around as aliens do, and we paint the

775
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: picture of the Jim Harbaugh story arc and the coaching arc.

776
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: You know what that alien would ask. He would ask,

777
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: which loosely translates in English to well, what changed? I

778
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: have no idea is my answer to the alien. And

779
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: that's the point with Harball. Everyone who was making fun

780
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: of him, and everyone who doesn't like the quirks or idiosyncrasies.

781
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: Pretty sure, it's the first time I've ever used that

782
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: word on the show. Even they have to marvel at

783
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: the fact that this guy turned it around. And at

784
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: least on the outside, there was no massive lever that

785
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: was pulled, There was no break glass in case of

786
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: emergency red button that was hit They didn't pull out

787
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: the nuclear codes and just go deaf Con fourteen up there.

788
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: They just kept doing what Michigan does. And it's wild

789
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: and concept because most people don't think that works. Most

790
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 1: people think, all right, let's try something and if it

791
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:41,479
Speaker 1: doesn't immediately work, torch the varn kill the rats start over.

792
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: Harbaugh did none of that. He had confidence that his

793
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 1: approach would work, and it didn't initially work, and he's

794
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: stuck with it and it works, and then so the

795
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: alien starts to load back up, and I say, hold on,

796
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 1: here's some reciss pieces. Come back out here. I got more.

797
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: He interviewed for NFL jobs during the process, what the

798
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: alien says, and I say, yeah, so get this. He

799
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 1: was actually interviewing with the Vikings on National signing day,

800
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 1: national signing days where all the recruits signed. I don't

801
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: know how to do it where you're from. And so,

802
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 1: you know, I still find that totally dumbfounding that that's

803
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 1: the way that all went down. It looks like he's

804
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: out the door so much so that the interviews for

805
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: the job on National signing Day doesn't get the job

806
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 1: comes right back, And a reasonable mind could look at

807
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: it because both of his coordinators are gone. A reasonable

808
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 1: mind could look and say, uh, oh, yeah, Harball's back,

809
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: but easy really back because his heart was already in

810
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 1: the NFL. His mind was already in the NFL. And

811
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden he doesn't get the job

812
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 1: and he's back. What's Michigan going to look like? Oh?

813
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: Better than they did the year before. That's not easy.

814
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: It's not easy if you're bought in, it's not easy.

815
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: If everything is running at peak efficiency, it's hard to

816
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: win at this level. He went interviewed for a job

817
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: on signing day and still won and operated at a

818
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: higher level than they did the year before. So then

819
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: here's the fun part to figure out. Fun part, and

820
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: the one that no one really has a guided hand

821
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 1: in knowing, is well, what is the next five years

822
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: going to look like? Is he going to interview for

823
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: NFL jobs every year? Is he going to stick it

824
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: out at Michigan? Are they just going to continue to

825
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: roll over Ohio State? Will Ohio State go up there

826
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 1: this year, reclaim the Big ten and have us a

827
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: few years from now look back and say, remember that

828
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: two year blip on the radar screen. But then Michigan

829
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: sort of relegated themselves back to what they had been.

830
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: No one knows. I don't think that's how it's going

831
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: to go the latter one. I don't think that's how

832
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,839
Speaker 1: it's going to go, because they're recruiting really, really well,

833
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: they're portaling really well. Developmentally, they're about as good as

834
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: anyone in the country right now. So it's fun program

835
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 1: to watch. Jim Harbaugh is a fun guy to watch.

836
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: I was doing talk radio down in Columbus when the

837
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: whole satellite camp thing started. You remember that some of

838
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 1: you may not even have paid enough attention to remember

839
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: that that was the thing where the NCAA briefly let

840
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: you do satellite camps, and Michigan took full advantage. So

841
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: Michigan comes down to Prattville, Alabama, home of the Lions,

842
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,720
Speaker 1: and Harbaugh has a satellite camp down there, and Saban

843
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: and the SEC coaches hated it, and you know, Harbaugh says,

844
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: why don't you go hold a satellite camp in Michigan.

845
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: The answer was obvious, you don't even want to recruit Michigan.

846
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: Why would we want to recruit Michigan. So Harball comes

847
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: down to Prattville and is running around in khakis with

848
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: no shirt on, and it was like it was like

849
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: when the it's like on those YouTube videos sometimes when

850
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: animals confuse themselves and like one animal nurses another animal

851
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,240
Speaker 1: that's of a different species, and it's just so wild

852
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:04,240
Speaker 1: and it's bizarre. But it's beautiful that shirtless Harball running

853
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 1: around in khakis with a bunch of kids from the

854
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 1: inner city over in Prattville. It was wild, it was bizarre,

855
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: It was beautiful. I regret that Colin doesn't have b

856
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,479
Speaker 1: roll of it, But another way, I'm kind of glad

857
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 1: he didn't just have that at his disposal. I'd start

858
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 1: to ask questions, Jim Harball, what a story already? You

859
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 1: could just tell the story from the time he got

860
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: to Michigan to now and it would be a good story.

861
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: Thing about it, though, is you know, one way or

862
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 1: the other, there's some really juicy chapters left in the

863
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh Michigan story. So I'm here for it. If

864
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: nothing else, I'm here for it. They're watching us in

865
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: Steamboat Springs, Colorado, Ringgold Georgia, Rosemont, Illinois, former home of

866
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 1: the Rosemont Horizon, now known as All State Arena unless

867
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: they change it again. Bold prediction time. Another sip from

868
00:45:52,760 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: the challice. Please, Jesse, is this chapter thirteen? Yeah, chapter thirteen?

869
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: All right, good for us? Do me a quick favor,

870
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 1: you know what, now that we're in the show a

871
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 1: little bit. I never like to sound baggy. I never

872
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: like to plead at the beginning of the show. But

873
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: our diehards are tuned in now we're doing good. Okay,

874
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to chastise. We're doing good on our

875
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: drive for two hundred thousand subs. The thing about it, though,

876
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: is we have a little extrapolation tool, and so I

877
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: can see, based on the rate we're going, when we

878
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: would hit two hundred thousand subs. It is not going

879
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: to happen at the current rate before kickoff of the season.

880
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: But yet I think we can make it happen before

881
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: kickoff of the season. We just have to do some

882
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 1: good old fashioned recruiting. And that means when you go

883
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: to work tomorrow, tell your three buddies who you know

884
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,320
Speaker 1: to not have subscribed to the show yet to subscribe

885
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 1: to the channel. That's it. That's all. You can go

886
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: ahead and like the video while you're at it. Since

887
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: you're already in the giving mood, bold Predictions, Chapter thirteen.

888
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: What do you believe out there your boldest prediction for

889
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 1: this upcoming college football season. Well, we've got some boldness

890
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: tonight here in the comments. Let's start in the ACC.

891
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 1: Daniel from Tampa said, Miami's gonna win the ACC and

892
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna finish with ten wins or more. This is

893
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: an eight point five on the boldness scale for me.

894
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: Their over underwin total is seven and a half, so

895
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: they need to go way over. They've got the fifth

896
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 1: best odds to win the ACC, so they'd need to

897
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 1: not pull off a miracle, but they'd need to pull

898
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: off some upsets. And here's the thing about it, Miami's

899
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 1: got the fifth best odds. Producer Jesse aka Stats and

900
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: Info dutifully tells me Miami also plays the four teams

901
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 1: in front of them in the odds, so there are

902
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 1: no scheduling breaks for the Canes this year. And they

903
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 1: also have three games against the College Football Playoff Top

904
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: twelve because those odds are out too. We were down

905
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: there last month spoke with Lance Gidry a little bit.

906
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: That's the new defensive coordinator, and I was in I

907
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:01,879
Speaker 1: was in the snacker room when we were talking to him,

908
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 1: so I only halfway paid attention to what he said.

909
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: But Shannon Dawson, the new offensive coordinator, we hung out

910
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: with him. There's a whole feature on the channel. We've

911
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 1: never done anything like that before. If you're a Miami

912
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: fan and you didn't see it, just search late Kick

913
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: Shannon Dawson. I mean, we went in the film room

914
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 1: with him. He broke down his offenses like thirty five

915
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 1: to forty minutes. It was really good. We left an

916
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 1: hour on the cutting room floor. If I can ever

917
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 1: play that for you now, that'd be good. We'd probably

918
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: have to put that behind the paywall, but that'd be

919
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:32,880
Speaker 1: good stuff. Both of those dudes backwoods Louisiana's really good dudes.

920
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: All of a sudden they're in Miami. It's a great mixture,

921
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: great culture, clash, slash and mixture. If he's the right

922
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: guy for Tyler van Dijk, they can do this. They've

923
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,919
Speaker 1: got the number twelve overall roster and the blue chip

924
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: ratio for this season. They've got the players down there.

925
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:52,399
Speaker 1: They're rapidly infusing that roster with even better players than that.

926
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: But as for now, given the schedule, I'm gonna have

927
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 1: to call that an eight and a half on the

928
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 1: boldness scale. Next up, this would throw the sport in

929
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 1: a blender if this were to happen. So Alex from Palmerton,

930
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:12,800
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania predicted three out of five current Power five conference

931
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: favorites won't even play for their conference titles. So sometimes

932
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 1: when we get these kind of predictions, you're left to wonder, Okay,

933
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: how wild would that be? Not too wild? It happened

934
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,320
Speaker 1: last year. So last year we came in the season

935
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 1: and Ohio State was favored to win the Big Ten.

936
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: They didn't even play for the conference title. Same with Texas.

937
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 1: There's that Texas name again, and same with Alabama. So

938
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 1: sure enough, three out of the five last year missed out.

939
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 1: So this year, who do we have. We got Clemson

940
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: favored barely to win the ACC. We got Texas favored

941
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: to win the Big Twelve. You got Ohio State. Yeah

942
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 1: that's changed, by the way. Ohio State is a narrow

943
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 1: favorite to win the Big Ten. Texas, as I said,

944
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 1: in the Big Twelve again and usc small favorite but

945
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 1: a favorite out west. I don't think this is all

946
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:07,800
Speaker 1: that bold. I called it a six point seventy five

947
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,839
Speaker 1: because we could have chaos here's how easy it would be.

948
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:14,439
Speaker 1: The Pac twelve anyone's ball game. They're half a dozen

949
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: teams at the top. They could take that thing, and

950
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: so USC not playing for the conference title. I haven't

951
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 1: even picked anyone yet, but you know, if I picked today,

952
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 1: I'd probably have them playing for the conference title game.

953
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 1: But if you told me they weren't there, I'd go, oh,

954
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: that would be about how surprised I was. You could

955
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 1: have Texas miss out because they haven't been there in

956
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: seven years. That wouldn't be a shock to anyone, even

957
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,240
Speaker 1: though I may pick them. We know what the model

958
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 1: thinks about Texas. You got the Pac twelve being wild,

959
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: you got the acc I mean, if Clemson, for example,

960
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 1: is not what we think they could possibly be offensively,

961
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 1: it's that easy, Like you know the disaster scenario we

962
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:04,959
Speaker 1: talk about the other day, Clemson opens with who kids Duke? Oh, duke,

963
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,280
Speaker 1: that's an easy dub. Well, they're only favored by twelve

964
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 1: because of those very questions. New offensive coordinator, not a

965
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 1: new quarterback. Necessarily, we've seen club Nick play. We just

966
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: don't know what level he's going to be at this year, necessarily,

967
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 1: So there's a lot that could go wrong with these favorites,

968
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: and that's why they're narrow favorites. Don't even get me

969
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 1: started about what happens if Georgia goes and loses to Tennessee.

970
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 1: You don't think Tennessee can pull those upsets. I invite

971
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 1: you to rewatch the Alabama game last year, but I'm

972
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: calling it a six point seventy five. I don't think

973
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: that's that bold. The next one's a little bit bolder.

974
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: Not Colorado. We're gonna go to the Palmetto State, Xavier

975
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,799
Speaker 1: or Xavier, depending on pronunciation said. South Carolina will win

976
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 1: nine games this year. They will beat Clemson again for

977
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 1: the second year in a row. How bold would that be, Well,

978
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 1: let's start with the upset. It wouldn't be a huge upset.

979
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: Carolina plays him at home and they're favored by six

980
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: and a half. The Clemson Tigers are favored by six

981
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: and a half, So South Carolina about a touchdown underdog

982
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:15,439
Speaker 1: as it stands now against their in state rival. We've

983
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: seen that happen. We see that happen every Saturday. Clemson

984
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: or South Carolina winning nine games. Obviously that upset would

985
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: go a long way in helping that happen. But their

986
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 1: win total is six right now, so again we'd have

987
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: to fly way over and Shane Biemer has done that

988
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:32,839
Speaker 1: two years in a row. So far he's gone over

989
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,799
Speaker 1: the total. Beemer's gone seven and six, He's gone eight

990
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: and five. They have got four games do the game

991
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: Cocks against the College Football Playoff preseason top twelve in

992
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: terms of odds, so they got to pull some upsets.

993
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:51,359
Speaker 1: There's never an easy South Carolina schedule, even they're out

994
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 1: of conference, hasn't played in teams like Jacksonville State. They

995
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: got North Carolina, one of the top four odds teams

996
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,280
Speaker 1: in another conference to start the year. That's a neutral

997
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 1: site game, which we just love around here. This is

998
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 1: an eight point seventy five for me. Dowell Logans is

999
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:09,800
Speaker 1: the new offensive coordinator. And I say that because Spencer

1000
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: Ratler's back at quarterback, and every preview magazine is going

1001
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 1: to rightfully ask you which Spencer switch Spencer Rattler or are

1002
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 1: we gonna see? And they're asking that because there were

1003
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 1: times last year it was really bumpy and then all

1004
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you hang half a one twenty on

1005
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee after you you know what, that was a really

1006
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:36,760
Speaker 1: boggled sentence already. So it's only started over, do you realize,

1007
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 1: cause I think a lot of people have forgotten about this.

1008
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 1: Probably the wildest two week stretch anywhere in the twenty

1009
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 1: twenty two season was South Carolina scoring zero offensive points

1010
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 1: against Florida and then hanging sixty three or sixty two

1011
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: whatever it was the next week against Tennessee that kept

1012
00:53:56,719 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: Tennessee out of the playoff. Can you imagine how stunned

1013
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 1: Tennessee must have been watch that team on film, and

1014
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they drop sixty plus on

1015
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 1: you the next week, and then you come to find out, oh,

1016
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: there was a little shake up in the play calling structure,

1017
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 1: in the offensive structure behind the scenes. Well then all

1018
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: of a sudden you got folks asking, well, which Spencer

1019
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: Rattler are we going to get this year? Well, probably

1020
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: not the one that you saw struggle throughout the majority

1021
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two. Because the coordinator who was there

1022
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:30,839
Speaker 1: is now in Lincoln, Nebraska, an interesting and polarizing higher

1023
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 1: in his own right, and they brought in Dela Logan's

1024
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 1: who is now the offensive coordinator of South Carolina. It's

1025
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 1: kind of like Shannon Dawson down there at Miami. You

1026
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 1: got an established quarterback, You're linking them up with a

1027
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 1: new coordinator. Let's see how it works out. Those are

1028
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: always spotlight teams for us. Last here in the Bold

1029
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: Prediction Train this evening, we go back to the West Coast.

1030
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams is your Heisman Trophy winner for last year.

1031
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,799
Speaker 1: Trevor wants to know, well, he is actually predicting that

1032
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams is gonna win the Heisman. He joins Archie

1033
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 1: Griffin as the only two time winner. Trevor from Nashville

1034
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 1: by way of Columbus, Ohio. Archie Griffin won those things

1035
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 1: in seventy four and seventy five. So Caleb Williams, what

1036
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 1: would he have to do well? Last year? He was

1037
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:17,359
Speaker 1: a forty two to five touchdown interception guy. He had

1038
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 1: ten rushing touchdowns. Who's the competition. We were looking at the

1039
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 1: odds market today and I was I was a little surprised.

1040
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to disrespect anyone. There's some names that

1041
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:30,840
Speaker 1: are a little high on this list for me. Michael

1042
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 1: Pennix is up there, He's like seventh. Quinn Ewers has

1043
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 1: the next best odds along with Jayden and Daniels at LSU.

1044
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:40,880
Speaker 1: Those two have the next best odds behind Williams, and

1045
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 1: then it's JJ McCarthy at fourth Jordan Travis at fifth.

1046
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have either of them in a top five

1047
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 1: Heisman list, And by the way, that has nothing to

1048
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: do with Michigan and FSU. To me, this is just

1049
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 1: me talking. If you tell me Michigan's going undefeated, FSU

1050
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 1: is going undefeated, I think about the style of offense,

1051
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 1: the style of play, the kind of numbers they would

1052
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 1: put up conducive to playing that kind of ball all year.

1053
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 1: I don't think it involves Heisman numbers. I say the

1054
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: same thing about Daniels at LSU. I don't Daniels at

1055
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 1: LSU a little more likely because you can question their

1056
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 1: ground game a little bit more than the other two.

1057
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 1: But my point remains like I'd much rather give me

1058
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 1: some bow knicks, Give me some Michael Pennix, give me some,

1059
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 1: give me a ticket or two on them over some

1060
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 1: of these guys. Anyway, This is not a hate fest.

1061
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 1: It sounds like one. Caleb Williams is by far the

1062
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,840
Speaker 1: favorite here, and Lincoln Riley has coached three of the

1063
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 1: last six Heisman winners. That's never been done. They've played

1064
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: the sport since the thirteen hundreds, that's never been done.

1065
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: So this is an eight on the boldness scale only

1066
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 1: because it's just it's been done one time in history,

1067
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 1: winning back to back Heisman's, so it should be like

1068
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 1: a nine point five by default. So me only having

1069
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: this at an eight shows you how confident an I

1070
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 1: am in Caleb Williams. He's pretty good. He was also

1071
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 1: at Elite eleven and he also did some incredible things

1072
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:10,600
Speaker 1: throwing the football against air. You know what time it is,

1073
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: It's time for us to spotlight Texas. That's what time

1074
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 1: it is. The model loves Texas. Here. If you're new

1075
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 1: to the show, we have the model that runs our

1076
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,480
Speaker 1: own independent numbers. The model. I don't think it picked

1077
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: Texas not to cover a single time last year, and

1078
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 1: the model was just loving Texas and so this year, Colin,

1079
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 1: I would prefer for this to be your endpoint. What

1080
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: do you need to know about Texas? I mean, I'm

1081
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 1: gonna give it to you straight in about three or

1082
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:40,959
Speaker 1: four minutes. Biggest questions, what's the strongest position group, who's

1083
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 1: gonna break out here? What's the schedule. Say this is

1084
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: a little preview magazine page on Texas. First question, who's

1085
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 1: right about Quinn Eewers. You got camp A out there

1086
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: says overrated, recruiting bust. Yeah he's good, but he's never

1087
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: going to be great. And then you got the other

1088
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 1: camp that says, just wait till this year, got all

1089
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 1: the tools. Was banged up last year. Even when he played,

1090
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 1: he wasn't one hundred percent, So wait until this year.

1091
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 1: He's fifty eight percent last year, Wait until this year.

1092
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 1: I'm happy to wait until this year. I think he's

1093
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 1: going to be a standout quarterback this year. And he

1094
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 1: cut his hair. Look Quinn in doubt. When guys cut

1095
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 1: their hair, that means they're serious, that means they mean business.

1096
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 1: And we don't even have an updated picture of him yet.

1097
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 1: That's how fresh that cut is. You know, Quinn Eewers

1098
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: is not outspoken. I think I would love for us

1099
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 1: to go out to Austin and sit down with him

1100
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 1: for about ten to fifteen minutes, long enough for you

1101
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 1: to see his persona is so warped compared to who

1102
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 1: he is. He is shy, down to earth, not necessarily

1103
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 1: the guy that's portrayed, which has nothing to do with

1104
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 1: how he throws at football, obviously, but I think he's

1105
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 1: going to be a standout player this year. Now, will

1106
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 1: it be enough for them to win the Big twelve,

1107
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 1: you know, make the playoff, et cetera. That's what this

1108
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 1: question is about. That's why it's a question that's number one.

1109
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: Number two is their pass defense going to improve? And

1110
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 1: if it does, by how much? Because last year one

1111
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 1: of the most shocking stats in all of college football

1112
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 1: was Texas had a top a top what Jesse? They

1113
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 1: had a top thirty defense last year. Good catch, by

1114
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 1: the way, because I was about to get drug in

1115
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:25,919
Speaker 1: the comments. Texas had a top thirty defense last year

1116
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 1: in terms of points per game. You don't think about that.

1117
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 1: You don't think of Texas as having a good defense. Well,

1118
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 1: it got drugged down because they had the ninety first

1119
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 1: ranked pass defense last year. What could they be if

1120
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: we just cut that in half we improved twenty thirty percent. Well,

1121
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:44,919
Speaker 1: the answer is, again, they could be a conference champ,

1122
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:48,520
Speaker 1: They could be a playoff team. Question Number three with

1123
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 1: Texas is how should I ask this? Was it always

1124
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 1: going to be twenty twenty three? You know, when Sart

1125
00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:00,280
Speaker 1: came in In year one, we saw what happen happen,

1126
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: and then they go to year two and they had

1127
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 1: several games improvement, but since they were the preseason favorite

1128
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 1: to win the conference and they didn't, people still said, oh,

1129
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 1: he's underachieving. Well, there is this world where it was

1130
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 1: just always going to take to the third year for

1131
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 1: them to click. It's happened before, you know, kind of

1132
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 1: happening at Florida State. Maybe it was just always going

1133
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 1: to be twenty twenty three, and maybe this year is

1134
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 1: the year where all of your stats that are more

1135
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 1: historical in nature are rendered moot. Because the age old

1136
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 1: adage on this show actually is what comes to fruition,

1137
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 1: and that is just because something has not happened does

1138
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:44,880
Speaker 1: not mean it cannot happen. I cannot believe the stat

1139
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: I gave you earlier in the show that six different

1140
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:52,479
Speaker 1: teams have won the Big Twelve since the last time

1141
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 1: Texas won it. That is inexcusable under achievement from one

1142
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 1: of the premier brands in the country. The best position

1143
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 1: group on this team, you could say quarterback, but that's easy,

1144
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 1: so we're gonna say wide receiver Xavier Worthy is Xavier

1145
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 1: Worthy is my dark horse to be a Heisman Trophy

1146
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:11,919
Speaker 1: contender this year. So that's how highly I think of him.

1147
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna fix the drops, he and I and we

1148
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:17,400
Speaker 1: are going to We're gonna do big things in Austin

1149
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: this year. But if it's not him, they got a

1150
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:23,959
Speaker 1: d Mitchell number one wide receiver in the portal. Doesn't

1151
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 1: matter which National Championship run you've watched for Georgia, he's

1152
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 1: been a central figure in it both years. Jordan Whittington's

1153
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 1: still there, celebrating his thirty fifth birthday later this year.

1154
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 1: It feels like Isaiah Nayor who came in from Wyoming

1155
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:41,200
Speaker 1: and got hurt last year. Jesse had to fist fight

1156
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 1: me today because I wanted to make may Or the

1157
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:46,439
Speaker 1: breakout player. But they're just Johntey Cook, just there, five

1158
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 1: star receiver, so they're loaded in that receiver room. I

1159
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:53,040
Speaker 1: still got an eye on I still got an eye

1160
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 1: on Nayor. But there's so many different weapons in that

1161
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:57,439
Speaker 1: room that can hurt you, so they should be very

1162
01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 1: explosive this year. The breakout play, we're not going with

1163
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 1: ny Or. We're going with Kelvin Banks. When I was

1164
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 1: out there for the Bama game last year, which was

1165
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 1: Week two. Kelvin Banks was a true freshman, so he

1166
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:11,920
Speaker 1: started at left tackle as a true freshman. For him

1167
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 1: last year, I was talking to some of their staffers

1168
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: about their incoming freshman class and they said, some of

1169
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 1: the guys we recruited, we think they're gonna end up

1170
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 1: being studs, but they're true freshmen. You know, got to

1171
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:28,560
Speaker 1: give them time. Other guys, we don't know. We feel

1172
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 1: good about our evaluation, but they haven't exactly broken out

1173
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 1: in camp. Then they told me about Kelvin Banks. They said,

1174
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:40,439
Speaker 1: it took about twenty seconds. It's the old twenty second rule.

1175
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 1: The ones that are true next level, future first rounders,

1176
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if they're eighteen years old. When they

1177
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 1: walk on campus, when they walk in the position group,

1178
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 1: when they step on the practice field, they're instantly one

1179
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 1: of the best players on your team. Kelvin Banks, as

1180
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 1: a true freshman offensive tackle No. Less, was the best

1181
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 1: lineman they had the moment he stepped on campus out

1182
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 1: of high school, and he's still the best one they have.

1183
01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:12,439
Speaker 1: The difference is because this year is his second year,

1184
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: I think he'll be a breakout player Nationally. He was

1185
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 1: second team All Big twelve as a true freshman. He's

1186
01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 1: got two more years of college football to play, so

1187
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 1: enjoy him out there. The schedule is very interesting for Texas.

1188
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 1: They play Bama at Bama in week two. Who do

1189
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 1: they have in week one? Josh Food? But they play

1190
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 1: Bama in week two and then it gets a little dicey.

1191
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 1: I've got friends in the SEC, all four corners of it,

1192
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 1: who would lead you to believe the Big twelve is soft.

1193
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: Believe whatever you want to believe. I'm telling you. I

1194
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 1: respect the competition in that conference and Texas, outside of

1195
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:53,400
Speaker 1: playing Bama, they go in conference and they're the favorite

1196
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:56,120
Speaker 1: to win. They play number two, number three, number four,

1197
01:03:56,160 --> 01:04:00,919
Speaker 1: number five, and number six as opposed to Oklahoma, who

1198
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:04,560
Speaker 1: draws six of the bottom seven teams in terms of odds.

1199
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 1: What does that mean? Maybe something, maybe nothing, But it

1200
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 1: does put an emphasis even more so than just usual

1201
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 1: on that Red River game, doesn't it. I don't have

1202
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 1: to tell them they don't need the added motivation. I'm

1203
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,200
Speaker 1: saying if you're if you're getting yourself to the betting

1204
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 1: window and purchasing a ticket on one of these teams

1205
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 1: that schedules something to keep in mind. The last four games.

1206
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 1: They go Kansas State at TCU, at Iowa State go Clones,

1207
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:35,000
Speaker 1: and Texas Tech at home. You can you can tell

1208
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 1: me all you want about how that's a soft end

1209
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 1: to the season. It's not. It is not. Back to

1210
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:44,360
Speaker 1: back roadies in November never easy. Going to Ames Iowa

1211
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 1: the third week of November not ideal. And then you

1212
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 1: get Texas Tech to end the season not ideal. So

1213
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 1: if Texas gets there, then they should be favored. I

1214
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 1: believe they're gonna have to earn it. It will not

1215
01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:59,440
Speaker 1: be handed to them. You will not look at Texas

1216
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 1: if they're in the playoff and say, ah, yeah, soft

1217
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 1: schedule though, just load it up on cream puffs. Nope,

1218
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:10,000
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. That's a look at Texas. I want

1219
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:12,200
Speaker 1: to look briefly at a lot of you because we

1220
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 1: have a big audience, so inevitably someone in our audience

1221
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:18,800
Speaker 1: is about to move this weekend. Thank you, by the way,

1222
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 1: for scheduling your move or your wedding or maybe both

1223
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 1: in June or July instead of during October and making

1224
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 1: all of us suffer because we're gonna have to help

1225
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:31,280
Speaker 1: you move and we're gonna have to be in your

1226
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 1: wedding or are we gonna have to help you move now?

1227
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:36,520
Speaker 1: The wedding I can do nothing about. But our friends

1228
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:40,040
Speaker 1: at Good Greek Moving and Storage can help with the

1229
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 1: first issue in your life. I've been asked probably uh,

1230
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 1: I'd say a million and two million at one to

1231
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 1: two million times, because I grew up with a pickup truck.

1232
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:54,920
Speaker 1: Hey you free Saturday? Why, well I'm moving? Oh yeah, yeah,

1233
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 1: I'd love to take my Saturday and help you. It's

1234
01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:01,120
Speaker 1: the curse of the pickup. Well, with Good Moving in Storage,

1235
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 1: you'll need my pickup because they got trucks way bigger, way,

1236
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 1: more spacious, and they're more dependable. If I'm being real

1237
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:09,560
Speaker 1: with you, they're more dependable than me, and they're gonna

1238
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 1: fully ensure your move. I'm not fully insuring you. I'm

1239
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 1: barely insured. How can I assure you? So I'm saying

1240
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 1: all that to say, don't call me up. Don't call

1241
01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 1: your buddy with a pickup, even if you have a

1242
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 1: hookup with a guy who has a pickup, Get up

1243
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:26,920
Speaker 1: Good Greek instead. You know why I'm touting them so

1244
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:30,040
Speaker 1: fervently because we were in need and in our hour

1245
01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 1: of need down in South Florida, a couple of weeks

1246
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 1: ago they came through and I told them, you you

1247
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:39,120
Speaker 1: helped us today, I'm gonna help you for the rest

1248
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:40,920
Speaker 1: of June. And that's why we've done that on this

1249
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:42,680
Speaker 1: show for the rest of June. So good Greek moving

1250
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 1: in storage t r ust. They got the trust factor

1251
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:48,600
Speaker 1: with us, and they can have it with you too.

1252
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:51,240
Speaker 1: The last thing I wanted to talk about on the

1253
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 1: show tonight is let me take a sip from the chalice.

1254
01:06:57,760 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 1: I always always struggle with how to frame our conversations

1255
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 1: about this certain team because it we've got an audience

1256
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:11,920
Speaker 1: that ranges from like fifteen to eighty five, and depending

1257
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:14,520
Speaker 1: on how old you are, we'll determine how you feel

1258
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:16,120
Speaker 1: about this brand. So let me hit you with this.

1259
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:19,640
Speaker 1: So Brent hit us up and he said, hey, Matt

1260
01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 1: Rule has been rolling and recruiting. He's got a good

1261
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 1: portal class too. Is Nebraska able to make a year

1262
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 1: one leap or should we just be cautiously optimistic about

1263
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:32,000
Speaker 1: this year and excited about the future. So how serious

1264
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 1: should you be taking Nebraska. Let me be blunt with

1265
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:38,520
Speaker 1: you because I'm not a Nebraska fan, so I can

1266
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:40,919
Speaker 1: afford to feel this way. I don't care about this year.

1267
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:44,320
Speaker 1: If they do come through this year, that'll be wonderful.

1268
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:46,640
Speaker 1: I'll celebrate it right along with you guys. But I'm

1269
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:48,960
Speaker 1: not putting any eggs in the twenty twenty three basket.

1270
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 1: I'm paying attention to what's happening well beyond twenty twenty three,

1271
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 1: because whether they go over or under six wins this fall,

1272
01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 1: I've watched Matt rule takeover programs before, and they've been

1273
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 1: terrible multiple times in year one and gone on to

1274
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:05,560
Speaker 1: have quantum leaps in year two and year three. So

1275
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 1: it wouldn't send up any red flags or sound any

1276
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:10,840
Speaker 1: alarm bells for me if they went four and eight

1277
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 1: this year, for all I care. But I think they'll

1278
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:15,280
Speaker 1: be a little bit better than that because of what

1279
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:19,920
Speaker 1: you just talked about. They portaled very well and very strategically,

1280
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 1: and I'll talk about that in a second. But man,

1281
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:26,240
Speaker 1: I'm glad Matt rules in college football. I know it's

1282
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:29,720
Speaker 1: not great to wish ill on any guy professionally, and

1283
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 1: I wasn't rooting for him to be fired at Carolina,

1284
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:34,720
Speaker 1: but he was fired anyway, But then we got a

1285
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:38,599
Speaker 1: college guy back in college. I'm happy about that. Well,

1286
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:40,599
Speaker 1: I don't cover the Sunday game. I covered the Saturday game.

1287
01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:46,879
Speaker 1: He puts some immediate adrenaline into Nebraska football through recruiting

1288
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:49,559
Speaker 1: and through the transfer portal. Colin do we have the

1289
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 1: Ben Stevens tweet, by the way, just to give you

1290
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:53,599
Speaker 1: guys an idea of what's been going on up there.

1291
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 1: This is from Ben Stevens. Five of the six highest

1292
01:08:57,320 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 1: rated twenty twenty four recruits in the state of Nebraska

1293
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 1: have now committed to the Huskers. Matt Rule getting to

1294
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:05,760
Speaker 1: work quick, and they're projected to go six for six here,

1295
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:08,519
Speaker 1: so let's just keep an eye on that. Carter Nelson

1296
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:11,720
Speaker 1: is a two well, he's the number two tight end

1297
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 1: in the country, high four star kid, top forty overall.

1298
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:19,120
Speaker 1: Chose Nebraska over Georgia, Notre Dame, Penn State, Bama sixty

1299
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 1: four to two oh five. Everyone wanted him, So this

1300
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:24,800
Speaker 1: is not exclusively just a bunch of kids in Nebraska

1301
01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:28,640
Speaker 1: that had offers from Nebraska and no one else. That's

1302
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 1: not necessarily what's happening right now. That's why they've got

1303
01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 1: the thirteenth ranked recruiting class in the country and not

1304
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:37,160
Speaker 1: the forty third ranked recruiting class in the country. But

1305
01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:38,680
Speaker 1: you know what else they did, if you want to

1306
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 1: talk about twenty twenty three, they got Jeff Sims out

1307
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:44,720
Speaker 1: of the portal. I don't rank our guys in the

1308
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 1: transfer portal here, we got an entire committee that does that.

1309
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:50,880
Speaker 1: But I got to take a little issue with Jeff

1310
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:54,559
Speaker 1: Sims being no higher than the eleventh rated quarterback in

1311
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 1: the twenty four seventh Sports Transfer Portal quarterback rankings. I'll

1312
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:01,680
Speaker 1: make you a friend wager. I don't think there'll be

1313
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:04,320
Speaker 1: ten better than him this year from the portal. And

1314
01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:08,759
Speaker 1: he's been dropped into a tailor made offensive system. I think,

1315
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:13,000
Speaker 1: and some coaches think, and I am very excited to

1316
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 1: watch him get paired up with some of the guys

1317
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:17,479
Speaker 1: elsewhere on that offense they brought in out of the portal.

1318
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 1: Think it's a great fit. I think that he's underappreciated

1319
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:23,920
Speaker 1: because it didn't work out at Georgia Tech. To keep

1320
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:27,679
Speaker 1: those peepers glued on, Jeff Simms could be a really,

1321
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 1: really instrumental player in deciding the direction of the Big

1322
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:35,120
Speaker 1: Ten West this year. But Scott Frost when he was

1323
01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:38,479
Speaker 1: at Nebraska, the thing I remember, I still remember the

1324
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:42,439
Speaker 1: day got fired whenever our next show was I came

1325
01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:44,800
Speaker 1: on air after Scott Frost got fired. I remember this

1326
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:48,040
Speaker 1: vividly because I don't normally like to take shots at

1327
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:53,080
Speaker 1: guys unnecessarily, but when Scott Frost got fired at Nebraska,

1328
01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:56,280
Speaker 1: my mind kept coming back to the same thing, and

1329
01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 1: that is when people would ask what went wrong? I

1330
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:02,639
Speaker 1: answered with this, yes, there was no point in Scott

1331
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 1: Frost's tenure there where if you ask me what is

1332
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 1: Nebraska football right now? I could give you a quick answer,

1333
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 1: and that's bad because that means you didn't have an identity.

1334
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 1: You will not have that issue with Matt rule. You

1335
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:17,400
Speaker 1: will know what Nebraska football is like, and you'll know

1336
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:19,680
Speaker 1: what quick under Matt rule. That doesn't mean it's an

1337
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:22,280
Speaker 1: overnight turnaround. That doesn't mean you guarantee eight or nine

1338
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 1: or ten wins this year, but it would shock me

1339
01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:30,680
Speaker 1: if he didn't massively turn around the fortunes of that program.

1340
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 1: And the reason that's exciting is because you know, you've

1341
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:37,799
Speaker 1: got that debate that goes on amongst hardcore college football

1342
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:42,200
Speaker 1: fans about whether the sport has passed certain programs by

1343
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:45,759
Speaker 1: and they say it about Miami, and I think it's ludicrous.

1344
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:47,840
Speaker 1: They just hadn't had the right coaching staff down there.

1345
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:51,679
Speaker 1: But Miami can still be a perennial Powerhouse's my point.

1346
01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:55,160
Speaker 1: Can Nebraska be that they were once upon a time?

1347
01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:59,080
Speaker 1: Could they be that again? Like this team won three

1348
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:03,759
Speaker 1: titles in the nineties, you hear me out there, college freshman, Yeah,

1349
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 1: the University of Nebraska three national championships in a decade.

1350
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:11,080
Speaker 1: Some of us were alive then, is the point? It's

1351
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:14,960
Speaker 1: not that long ago. Uh, But there are people who

1352
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:17,599
Speaker 1: would say, okay, but the recruiting dynamic, there's been such

1353
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:23,320
Speaker 1: a paradigm shift. Nebraska's never doing that again. I'm in

1354
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:25,840
Speaker 1: that camp. That doesn't mean I couldn't be wrong. I'm

1355
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:28,320
Speaker 1: in that camp. I don't ever think Nebraska could just

1356
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:33,440
Speaker 1: perennially be parked inside the top three of the sport.

1357
01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 1: But whatever their ceiling is, you will find it out.

1358
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:41,360
Speaker 1: So that's the fun part for people like me. You're

1359
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 1: gonna find out whether I'm right or wrong. Even if

1360
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:45,759
Speaker 1: I am right, Let's see there, Let's say they're capable

1361
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:48,400
Speaker 1: of being a top ten program. They hadn't been close

1362
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:51,559
Speaker 1: to that either. What if they are capable of hovering

1363
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:53,800
Speaker 1: as the ninth best program in the country? If they are,

1364
01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:56,439
Speaker 1: they'll do it under Matt Rule, is my point, and

1365
01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:59,120
Speaker 1: so I don't have much doubt about that. Now. I'm

1366
01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:01,120
Speaker 1: the same guy who thoughts Scott Frost would work out

1367
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:05,600
Speaker 1: there as well. But when you do the when you

1368
01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:07,799
Speaker 1: do the post mortem on Scott Frost and you realized

1369
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 1: where they lacked and then you cross reference it with

1370
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 1: what Matt Rule's strengths are, you realize those buckets they

1371
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:19,760
Speaker 1: needed to fill, they filled and then overflowed a little

1372
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:22,559
Speaker 1: bit with the guy they just hired. So Matt Rule

1373
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 1: Nebraska very happy that he's back in the college football building.

1374
01:13:27,240 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 1: We're going to be back here Sunday night. We will

1375
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:33,599
Speaker 1: have a brand new addition to the set. I may

1376
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:36,040
Speaker 1: leak the news, that's how excited I am about the

1377
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:38,720
Speaker 1: new addition on the set. So it's going to be

1378
01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:40,559
Speaker 1: a much bigger deal to me than it is to

1379
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:43,880
Speaker 1: any of you. Don't rearrange your plans this weekend and

1380
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:46,200
Speaker 1: start a little countdown clock on your iPhone. I'm just

1381
01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 1: saying it's going to look so great once it's out here.

1382
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:50,720
Speaker 1: And so you got that to look forward to, and

1383
01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:54,680
Speaker 1: also remember, subscribe to the channel so that we can

1384
01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:57,840
Speaker 1: achieve our brand wish of two hundred k subs by

01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:00,639

01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:02,240
Speaker 1: take care, have a great rest of your evening and

1387
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:02,880
Speaker 1: God bless
