1
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if you watched the show in a

2
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: chair with a seat belt, but if you have one,

3
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: I'd go ahead and fasten it. A lot going on.

4
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: I mean, we're live, so we're gonna come on the

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: time we normally come on. But man, if we could

6
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: have bought ourselves an extra thirty minutes, tonight would have

7
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: been the night we're jam packed. We're hi Atapa kind

8
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: of gloomy but dark. Also downtown Nashville, Tennessee. On this Sunday,

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: October twenty sixth, the Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five.

10
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: I mean, we lead the show with breaking news. How

11
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: about a good old fashioned LSU team meeting called on

12
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: a Sunday night. I wonder what that's about. Well, I

13
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: think Brian Kelly is gonna be fired, That's what I

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: think it's about. Let me tell you something. You remember

15
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, going into the LSU Vanderbilt game,

16
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: Remember how I spoke, not really in a cloak and

17
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: dagger fashion. I just said, hey, if they lose this game,

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: going to go from two to ten really quick. Well

19
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: they lost the game, and it went from about two

20
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: to eight really quick, and then they lost last night

21
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: which we were about to talk about, and it went

22
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: to thirteen really quickly. So there's a lot going on.

23
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: We're live. If news breaks, we will well, we'll discuss

24
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: it on this show because that's where we've discussed such things.

25
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: We've got full week nine reaction. I got a lot

26
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: of papers in my hand, full week nine reaction. The

27
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: AP has disgraced the state of Iowa. I will talk

28
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: about that. The AP poll was released a little while ago,

29
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: and we will discuss that Bama came back from the

30
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: dead yesterday, Texas came back from the dead yesterday. Iowa

31
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: just threw another team in the wood Chipper. It's crazy.

32
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: So we got a lot to talk about. We've got

33
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: a tour decision. It was one of the toughest tour

34
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,639
Speaker 1: decisions that I can remember, because this week's really interesting.

35
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: There's not a game that just like reaches out and

36
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: grabs you. But we have made a decision and I

37
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: will talk about it. So we've got a jam pack show.

38
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: We'll see just how jam packed it is. It's already

39
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: going to be jam packed. It could be like all

40
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: time jam packed. Our balls are in LSU's court. They're

41
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: watching us in Little Rock Arkansas, Ithaca, New York, Chicago, Illinois, Pasca, Goula,

42
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: Mississippi tuned in as well. Appreciate you guys, wo Man,

43
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: Where else can we start? Texas. A and M just

44
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: obliterated LSU last night, forty nine to twenty five. I

45
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: give the game two and a half Chiwai. Now, if

46
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: you're an Aggie fan, this was a five chali classic,

47
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: I understand that. But for the rest of America, you

48
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 1: kind of sort of made it ugly in the second half,

49
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 1: kind of pulled away. The death Valley at Night thing

50
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: is true, but it's with a condition, and we discussed

51
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: this last week. Death Valley at Night. If LSU is tied,

52
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: if they're leading, man, that places insane. I've been there,

53
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: I've stood on the field. It's unbelieva. It's unlike anything

54
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: that you would ever see in American sport. I would

55
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: argue global sport. However, we might as well have spoiled

56
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: this game with how thoroughly we previewed it last week.

57
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: You're not wasting time watching this show. But even if

58
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: you didn't watch this show, I said what I said

59
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: here elsewhere, and frankly, I think I articulated it a

60
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: little better elsewhere. So Bradley cue up the clip as

61
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: we get into reacting to this game about what I

62
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: said about it ironically with David Nuno and the guys

63
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: over at Tech SACS. Here's what happens in Death Valley

64
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: at night when things go wrong Death Valley on a

65
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: Saturday night when ls he was losing empties very quickly,

66
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: and the ones who remain remain to yell at Brian

67
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: Kelly and to voice their displeasure, and it becomes very

68
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: toxic for the home team and it becomes very uncomfortable,

69
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: and you love it if you're the road team. So yeah,

70
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: if you let LSU play a competitive game or they

71
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: play with the lead, that place will be a nightmare

72
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: for you. If you can flip the switch in there,

73
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: it won't take much. The gasoline's already there. You just

74
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: I don't know why you bit the match, but you

75
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: got You just gotta strike the match and throw it.

76
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: And if A and M strikes the match and throws it,

77
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: that place will take care of the rest. You can

78
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: actually wep and ize a road environment. It's a very

79
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: strange dynamic. Yeah, I mean, no one delivered spoilers to me.

80
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I saw it happen last year. Bama

81
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: went down there and did it last year, and then

82
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: A and M went down there and did it last night.

83
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: Here's the thing about history and people always doubting Texas

84
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: A and M because of what they have or haven't

85
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: done historically. History is history because of what people that

86
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: came before you did or didn't do. A and M's

87
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: history has nothing to do with Mike Elko. A and

88
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: M's history has nothing to do with Marcel Reed or

89
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: Colin Klein or any of a number of guys on

90
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: the team, just name them. They weren't there in nineteen

91
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: thirty eight or fifty eight or eighty. They don't have

92
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: anything to do with A and M coming up short

93
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: in the past. What they control is what happens now

94
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: and moving forward. So I found myself watching this game

95
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: last night from a very peculiar angle because I kept

96
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: thinking about A and M fans. I think Texas A

97
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: and M fans actually won that game last night, Josh,

98
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: that's not Marcel Reid. Marcel Reid's on the field, I know, Well,

99
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: did you see Cassius Howell in that defensive front getting

100
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: after the pastor those are players. Did you see the

101
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: game Colin Klein called that's the offensive coordinator. I know

102
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: all that, But see here's what else was going on.

103
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: Not nearly as many people were paying attention to what

104
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: was happening in Lexington, Kentucky. But I was watching the

105
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: guy A and M tried to hire two years ago

106
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: get drug all over his home field by Tennessee. His

107
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: name's his name is Mark Stoops. A and M tried

108
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: to hire Mark Stoops. You know who prevented it? A

109
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: and M fans. A and M fans prevented it because

110
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: they care about the program. Now, you can get criticized

111
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: sometimes for loving your program to death, and you can

112
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: get criticized for interfering in matters that you have no

113
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: business interfering in. But A and M fans actually saved

114
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: their program, ironically, from probably finding itself in the position

115
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: Kentucky does right now or LSU does right now, and

116
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: instead they're the ones swinging the hammer instead of having

117
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: the hammer swung out. So all that stuff happened last

118
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: night is downstream of A and M fans revolting against

119
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: what would have been a terrible decision, So good for them.

120
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: And then part two of it if you kind of

121
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: turned the game on late and you're saying, oh, man,

122
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: A and M's running it up on LSU and death Valley, LS,

123
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: you must have done this wrong or that wrong. Buddy. Yeah,

124
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: it looks bad, but it could be a lot worse.

125
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: When it was forty nine to eighteen, I was thinking

126
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: to myself, A and M threw a pick in the

127
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: end zone, didn't they? Yeah, yeah they should have. It

128
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: could have been a lot worse. Yes, it could have

129
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: been a lot worse. So even when they went into

130
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: the half and you come out in the second half

131
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: and you're still trailing, I don't know how you felt.

132
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: I felt there was never a doubt in the game.

133
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: I felt so good about picking A and M in

134
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: this game. I felt so good. I went on fan

135
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: Duel and Bett aught lines. I started laying seven and

136
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: a half points, ten and a half points. So this

137
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: game was very good to me last night. I'll tell

138
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: you who it wasn't good too, though, pres Bradley, you

139
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: guys can go ahead and begin to queue it up here.

140
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,559
Speaker 1: It's one of those rare cases we had. It happened

141
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: once this season. Penn State got embarrassed so thoroughly that

142
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: their own fan base reached out and said, hey, look,

143
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: just go ahead and do it. Just make us the

144
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: Sarah McLaughlin Special. Like they were so ready for their

145
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: own organization to be called into question, they proactively begged

146
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: to be the Sarah McLaughlin Special. LSU got so thoroughly

147
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: embarrassed last night. We have no choice. Their own people

148
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: have asked for it. LSU is the Sarah McLaughlin Special.

149
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: A and M scored more in the second half than

150
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: LSU had allowed in any game so far this year

151
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: Death Valley at Night they got out rushed two twenty

152
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: four to sixty. A and M. They just got two

153
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: more sacks since we started the show that had seven

154
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: sacks eleven tackles for loss. LSU was three of fourteen

155
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: on third and fourth down. This is a gotta have

156
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: it game, mind you we continue. Brian Kelly spent the

157
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: night basically treating his staffers like they were behind the

158
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: counter employees at the DMV as they were executing a

159
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: game plan he approved, by the way, So that was

160
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: a pretty embarrassing scene. And then the fourth quarter of

161
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: this game ends up being LSU hosting what amounted to

162
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: a live infomercial on National TV for Texas A and

163
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: M in their own building, while the road fans take

164
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: over your own building because they're the only fans left

165
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: in the building. And meanwhile, the ESPN cameras are isoing

166
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: on fire. Brian Kelly signs so optically, worst case imaginable scoreboard,

167
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: worst case imaginable LSU emphatically this week's Sarah McLaughlin special.

168
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: It brings me no joy. All right, I'll tell you,

169
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what we're gonna do. Jesse. Now, this

170
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: is the first time that I know of that this

171
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: is what happened as we're talking about someone. You can

172
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: confirm this in my ear, Jesse. Okay, this is crazy timing.

173
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: So Brian Kelly's been fired as the coach at LSU.

174
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: As we're speaking, as I'm talking to you live on

175
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: this Sunday night, we'll market seven o nine ish pm

176
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: Central Standard time, LSU has fired Brian Kelly. So I

177
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: guess it makes sense coming right out of this Sarah

178
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: McLaughlin's special. No less impeccable timing. Whoever decided to pull

179
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: the lever down there when they did impeccable timing. So

180
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: let's just go ahead and let's just go ahead and

181
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: react to this live. Brian Kelly is done. He is

182
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: out as the head coach at LSU. You can check

183
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: out Pete and Akos. I'm sure he'll do a great

184
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: job over at On three laying out all the details

185
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: and how the buyout structured and all that stuff. I

186
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: don't care. It's not my money. I don't have to

187
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: pay it. Brian Kelly never understood the assignment at LSU.

188
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: He never understood what the L stood for. And it

189
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: turns out the l's ended up just staying for losses.

190
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: But the L on that chest right there stands for Louisiana.

191
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly had no interest in Louisiana. He had interest

192
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: in two letters. One of them's B, the other one's K,

193
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: and L didn't really have much place in it to

194
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: the point where he got there and almost as part

195
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: of this preconceived agenda, flushed a lot of Louisiana people

196
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: out of the building at Louisiana State University, including many

197
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: who could have been very useful to him. One of

198
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: them equipped players to whip his tail last night in

199
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: his own building. That's Tommy Moffatt. He's the least of

200
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: hoopst not the most of hoopster or in total. But

201
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: you know it's funny that it doesn't have anything to

202
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 1: do with him being an outsider. Okay, Brian Kelly was

203
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: an outsider. Sure he's not from the South. Sure he's

204
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: not from Louisiana. Neither was Saban. Saban's the best they've

205
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 1: ever had there. Well, where'd he come from? Came from

206
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: West Virginia by way of Michigan State. But I'll tell

207
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: you what he did. He looked at the LSU job

208
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: and was attracted to it because of Louisiana. Brian Kelly

209
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: was attracted to it because he thought he could make

210
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: a lot of money and just kind of go spend

211
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: some more money and get better athletes down there and

212
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: win a title doing it the way he's always done it,

213
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: and never did it factor into his decision making. Maybe

214
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: I should harness what makes Louisiana great. And so it

215
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: was really obvious. Like as time went on, you noticed

216
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: my tune changed on Brian Kelly, really changed. Anyone who's

217
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: watched the show for a while knows. When LSU hired him,

218
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: I thought he'd do really good things there. My tune

219
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: pretty radically changed on him a couple of years ago,

220
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: and I stopped praising him. We didn't have him on

221
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: the show anymore. That was a conscious effort. Now, Brian

222
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: Kelly never did anything to me behind the scenes. He

223
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: was always really good to us, So there was nothing personal.

224
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: There was no vendetta. It's personal to me because I

225
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: love LSU, because LSU had told the story many times

226
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, was kind of responsible for this show

227
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: blowing up. So I've always had a very very special

228
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: corner of my heart that's reserved for LSU. And I

229
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: saw a guy that didn't properly respect the job he

230
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: had and didn't fully appreciate the job he had. He

231
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: appreciated making the money. He appreciated the idea of having

232
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: LSU on his chest because it meant, Hey, I'm a

233
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: major sec head coach that's making eight figures per year.

234
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: I like that idea. I like standing on top of

235
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: what other people have built to try and grab a

236
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: brass ring that I couldn't grab it. Notre dame. I

237
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: like that idea, but I'm not so in love with

238
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: the idea of making myself one of them. He didn't

239
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: ever want to be one of them. One of you

240
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: one of us, whatever you want to call it. So

241
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: I cooled on him a couple of years ago because

242
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: I kind of found out what the inner workings were

243
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: about down there. He was checked out. He was totally

244
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: checked out. Now, I don't mean that in the kind

245
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: of way that a teacher is checked out the last

246
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: two weeks of spring semester when she knows she's about

247
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 1: to retire. Not that kind of checked out a college

248
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: football check college football coach checked out, still working a

249
00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: ton of hours, So I don't mean it like that.

250
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: But in the most critical parts of roster construction season,

251
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: their portal recruiting, this dude was on a beach and

252
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: it never really got talked about publicly, and I never

253
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: talked about it publicly, but hey man, he's gone now,

254
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: so I'll talk to you about it now. I lost

255
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: all professional respect for how he was going about his

256
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: business there when I found out how checked out he

257
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: was on some of the most critical parts of LSU football.

258
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: And here's the thing, it's not a personal thing with him.

259
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm fine with Brian Kelly personally, but professionally, there are

260
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: not many jobs like the head coach at LSU. Some

261
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: would argue it's the best job in the sport if

262
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: you don't believe that it's a top five job in

263
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: the sport. So however you view that only a few

264
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: select people get to hold those positions, You've got to

265
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: dedicate your life to it, and he didn't. He dedicated

266
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: some of it, But I mean the guys on a

267
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: beach in Florida when a lot of the most critical

268
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: periods of the calendar are going on, and there are

269
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: other folks just grinding a way in that building and

270
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: in some cases you're landing kids. He knows very little

271
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: about guys. They added staffers that in some cases he

272
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: didn't know a ton about. I mean, I would challenge

273
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: it's not my business. I'm not a reporter down there.

274
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: But you know, now that this era has come to

275
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: an end, I think you'd be shocked at how little

276
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: interaction he had with some people before they were added

277
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: to his staff. Consequently, those people ended up being some

278
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: of the best people to arrive in that building. He

279
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: made some additions there that ended up being train wrecks.

280
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: So that's what had me check out on Brian Kelly.

281
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: So you probably noticed, if you've watched or listened to

282
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: the show, for a while. You've noticed I had kind

283
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: of a tone change about him. Well that was why.

284
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: That was why I didn't have a lot of respect

285
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: for the way he was going about doing things there.

286
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: This can be the best job in the country. The

287
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: right person would view it as the best job in

288
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: the country. Pretty much any coach would view it as

289
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: a top five job. So that's the range of ranking

290
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: of the LSU job. But this is such a bombshell.

291
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to overstate. I mean, I was kind

292
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: of ready for this to happen today, so my first

293
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: instinct was to give you my personal opinion of Brian Kelly.

294
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just pathetic to have watched how this

295
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: went down the last few weeks. It was really obvious

296
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: what the strategy was. The strategy was, and I got

297
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: to give our folks at Notre Dame credit. Man a

298
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: lot of people I disagreed with in the past, and

299
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: they had the book on him and so they had

300
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: it figured out well before some of us did, so

301
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: credit to them. But the strategy was position yourself to

302
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: take credit if it works, and then when you see

303
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: it not working, reposition yourself to be sure. There are

304
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: several bodies in front of you to throw under the

305
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: bus long before it's time for years to be thrown

306
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: under there. And that was the case last night. I mean,

307
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: you know how pathetic it is to sit there and

308
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: scream in the face of another grown man. I don't

309
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: care if he's your subordinate, he's on your staff, he's

310
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: making fractions you do. Every single offensive play call is

311
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: coming through those headsets, and he hears every one of them.

312
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: For you to sit there afterwards, special teams, offense, defense, whatever,

313
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: and act shocked and screen what are we doing with

314
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of exploit is thrown in knowing good andwell

315
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: cameras are zoomed in on him. That's done with purpose,

316
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: because Brian Kelly may be many things, but stupid's not

317
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: one of them. So that's done with purpose. And I

318
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: would I would venture to think this time last week

319
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: when we did this segment, and I was alluding to,

320
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: you know, him probably being put in a position to

321
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: sacrifice some for the greater good of the organization. I

322
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: think probably what happened last week around this time is, hey,

323
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: if you go lay an egg, we're going to have

324
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: to have a scalp or two. And it was probably

325
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: gonna be Joe Sloan. And I think that's why he

326
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: made sure you saw him jump down Joe Sloan's throat

327
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: last night, because it was going to be Joe Sloan's

328
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: head on the guillotine day if Brian Kelly had his say, Well,

329
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: it just so happens it's Brian Kelly's and so that's

330
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: the way it's gone down. That wasn't his plan, though.

331
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: Now he's gonna get a ton of money to not

332
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: coach anymore and to go golf and to go sit

333
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: on the same beach that he was sitting on during

334
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: key periods of the year anyway, So you don't really

335
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: weep for Brian Kelly. But there are a bunch of staffers.

336
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: They're grown adults, man, they're grown men. They're making good

337
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: money in their own right. But I thought they were

338
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: put in such a compromise position. It's one thing if

339
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: you got a head coach fully checked in and you're

340
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: doing your all and he's doing his on it's not

341
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: good enough. Yeah, you all bear the burden of responsibility.

342
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: But I mean, can you imagine how toxic that building

343
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: has been. I can because I talk to people in it.

344
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you that building has been beyond toxic.

345
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: You don't have to know anybody there. Turn the game on.

346
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen a more miserable existence than an

347
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: LSU staffer or LSU fans for that matter. Did you

348
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: see that place last night? Look like anywhere you want

349
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: to be. And I know a lot of you will say, well, hey, man,

350
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: you pay me one or two million dollars, I'll put

351
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: myself in that position. But here's the thing. If you're

352
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: on the LSU staff and you're able to be making

353
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: that kind of money, that also means you're equipped to

354
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: be on several dozen other staffs where they're making comparable money,

355
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 1: but they don't have to deal with that. So you know,

356
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: you're in that position and all you're doing is staring

357
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: out the window, frowning at all your friends and other

358
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: places having the time of their lives. It's a tough job,

359
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: it's a rough industry. But I'm thinking, you know, from

360
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 1: the perspective of an LSU fan right now, And I

361
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: was just thinking today, what does the future hold for me?

362
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: We lost out on Bryce Underwood, This is it forgetting

363
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: us Meyer. This was kind of going to be our

364
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: last ride with him. I didn't really have much confidence

365
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: for the future under Brian Kelly. But now the future

366
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: doesn't include Brian Kelly anymore, and so the LSU job

367
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: is open, and I think we can speculate in the

368
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: coming days. I said the other day, I think you'd

369
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: be pretty surprised at how many names would be in

370
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: the running if this job ever opened up. This job

371
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: in the coaching world is viewed a little bit differently.

372
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it has to do with

373
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: what Nick Saban did to the stature of the job,

374
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 1: the profile of the job, and even since he left,

375
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: this has been a premier job. I still think it

376
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: is that. I think it is revered by a lot

377
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: of people. You've got to make sure that the alignment

378
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: is there, and that's been another critical issue down there,

379
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: and that's kind of what I'm waiting to see. Like

380
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: we're live right now, So Jesse, I don't know if

381
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: we've heard anything beyond just Brian Kelly, but I mean,

382
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: I don't know how you don't look at Scott Woodward

383
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: right now. Scott Woodward was responsible for the Jimbo Fisher

384
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: fiasco at Texas A and M. He has now got

385
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: the Brian Kelly disaster in his lap. I mean, they've

386
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 1: had critical financial issues down there in part because of

387
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: Scott Woodward. So't you've got an organizational situation that's just

388
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: football related, then you got an athletic department situation that

389
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: the football situation resides under. So if I'm a premier

390
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: head coach, you got to convince me you've got your

391
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: affairs in order, because the one thing I'm not gonna do.

392
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: One thing I'm not gonna do is go compete against

393
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: Sark and Debor and whoever Florida hires, wherever Kiffin's gonna be,

394
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: who knows, really, who knows Kirby all these guys. I'm

395
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: not competing against them with one hand tie behind my

396
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: back because here's what happens. What happens is I've got

397
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: the LSU job. So the public thinks I have every

398
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: resource imaginable at my disposal, and the public thinks I'm

399
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: working eye to eye or maybe even at a slightly

400
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: advantaged position relative to my peers, and all the while

401
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, I'm not. I'm looking up at them

402
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: because they've got full reiin and they've got a well

403
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: oiled machine of an athletic department, and I don't. I'm

404
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: not stepping into that, and don't expect to ask a

405
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: premier name to step into that unless you overpay for them,

406
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: which they've done in the past, or if you make

407
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: some internal changes down there. So let's see, let's see

408
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: how that turns out. But it can be the best

409
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: job in the country. Guys, LSU season for now is dead.

410
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: I would expect Frank Wilson, Jesse, do we know this.

411
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: I would expect Frank Wilson to be named interim head coach. Hey, look,

412
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: I don't know about Frank's prospects as a head coach.

413
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: One thing I will not doubt about Frank Wilson. Frank

414
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: Wilson loves LSU. If you want a guy who loves LSU,

415
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: if you want a radical departure from what the norm was,

416
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: you're going to trade in some coaching credentials or head

417
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: coaching credentials. But Frank Wilson loves LSU. This is going

418
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: to be the coaching search that every other coaching search

419
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: works downstream of. I cannot imagine the people at Florida tonight.

420
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: I cannot imagine the fists pounding the table in Gainesville.

421
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: The Florida job's a good job too. I'm just saying,

422
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: the last thing on this planet those people wanted was

423
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: to see LSU pull the trigger when they did. Oh man, guys,

424
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,959
Speaker 1: if you're not subscribed to the channel, I'm telling you,

425
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: this is going to be the wildest season of coaching

426
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: carousel you've ever seen. And we're smack dab in the

427
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: middle of conference championship run, and we're smack dab in

428
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: the middle of the playoff run. The playoff rankings haven't

429
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: even come out yet. So we're going to have the

430
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: Florida job open, the Arkansas job open, The LSU job

431
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: has just come open even as the show began. You

432
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: got to subscribe to the channel. It's free. This is

433
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 1: all we talk about. We're not breaking into NBA coverage

434
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: to talk about the Brian Kelly firing. This is all

435
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: we do. So if you're subscribed to the channel, thank you.

436
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: If you think you are, checking, make sure you are.

437
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: And if you're not, it doesn't do anything. It doesn't

438
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: sign you up for anything, it doesn't cost you anything.

439
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: It just helps us make sure that we get to

440
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: do this without the constraints of network oversight. You know,

441
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: the stuff you guys complain about all the time, the

442
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: reason a lot of the coverage nationally has been sullied

443
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: in your mind's eye. Well, we don't have to work

444
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: under those constraints because we get to call our shots

445
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: because you subscribe and you help make it happen, so

446
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: we appreciate it. Yeah, So what I wanted to do, Jesse,

447
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: because A and M actually won the game, So I

448
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: want to continue to talk about A and M. We

449
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: just had to fit the Brian Kelly firing right there

450
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: in the middle. Oh Man, seven twenty three. Texas A

451
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: and M just coming out of this thing. I know

452
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: they looked super impressive last night, and they did. Okay,

453
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: here's what we got to make sure of with Texas

454
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: A and M. We got to make sure that they

455
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: peak at the right time. If Texas A and M

456
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: peaks at the right time, they can win a national championship.

457
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: Make no mistake about that. The people who doubt that

458
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: only doubt that because of the past. You can't be

459
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: doubting that because of football related reasoning. You can't be

460
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: there is one thing you could be thinking. You could

461
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 1: be thinking Ohio State is like a super team, and

462
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: no one's beating them. If you hold that opinion, then

463
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: maybe you're not doubting A and M. You just think

464
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 1: everyone's a distant second, third, fourth, fifth to Ohio State

465
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: or Indiana, even or Ohio State and Indiana. Look, if

466
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: you think that, I'm not going to try and talk

467
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: you off that. But if you don't think that, and

468
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: if you think everyone's gettable, the only other reason I

469
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: can think of that you're not circling A and M

470
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: as a national title contender, it's because they haven't ever

471
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: done it. And so if they haven't ever done it,

472
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: I don't believe they can do it. You're prerogative again,

473
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: and penalties are an issue with them. They are still

474
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: turnover prone. It's totally new territory. November is the longest

475
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: month of the year. We always say that around here.

476
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: So this organization is about to experience a lot of firsts.

477
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: I grant you all that, But man, they're an extremely

478
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: dynamic team. They're a dangerous team. I think their best

479
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 1: ball is in front of them. Their pass rush can

480
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: change a game, their receivers can change a game. Their

481
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: tailbacks can change a game. Their quarterback can change a game.

482
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: They can win a multitude of different ways. They've won

483
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 1: shootouts this year, They've won Slugfest this year. So if

484
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: we were described I mean Alabama or Georgia that way,

485
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: you'd make them the title favorite. It just so happens

486
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: it's A and M. So they've got a game at

487
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: Missouri in a couple of weeks, they got South Carolina

488
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: at home, they got Samford, and then they go to Texas.

489
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: There is a distinct possibility they are undefeated in Atlanta.

490
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 1: That is a distinct possibility. Frankly, at this point, they've

491
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: got some breathing room. They can lose two of their

492
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: last four and go to the playoff. Alabama is the

493
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: odds favorite to win the sec A and M is

494
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: right behind them. There's a little gap between the wrestler

495
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: right now, those two are favored to face off in Atlanta.

496
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: But what a night this ended up being. What a

497
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 1: chain of events this ended up triggering Quick Trip. I

498
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: feel like our tank's already on empty. I feel like

499
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: we've had a whole show's worth of content and we're

500
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 1: twenty five minutes in tonight. It's just the beauty of

501
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: live YouTube, isn't it. Quick Trip didn't take us far

502
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: yesterday because we didn't have far to go. We just

503
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: went down the street to Vanderbilt for our second Vandy

504
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: game in as many weeks. You know, we've been to

505
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: more Vandy games this year than every other team because

506
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 1: we haven't been anywhere twice this year so far, have

507
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: we I don't think we have homers. We probably are.

508
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 1: We probably are. The fall out Lie tour is entirely

509
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 1: fueled by quick trip. We appreciate them. Here's the conundrum.

510
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: Have you looked at the slate this Saturday. There's no

511
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: like Marquee game, There's no main event game. There are

512
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: a lot of comparable games, which begs the question where

513
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: should we go now? In these kinds of situations, As

514
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: Mema would say, what I like to do is I

515
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: like to ask, well, where have we not seen a

516
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: game before? So we could have gone Vandy Texas, but

517
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: we've been to Austin, We've seen games at Texas. This

518
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: would have been our third Vandy game in a row.

519
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: We could go where game Day's going, Cincinnati, Utah, but

520
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: we started last season at Utah. So there are a

521
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: lot of places that we've been already. We know somewhere

522
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: we haven't been the Land of Sherwood Blunt. You know

523
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: the land of Eric Dickerson, the land of Craig James,

524
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 1: the land of Rhet Lashley. Southern Methodist University. We've been

525
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: there in the spring for the Speaker series, but we've

526
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: never been to a game at SMU. That changes. Six

527
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: days from now. Miami is going to SMU. It's a

528
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: critical conference game for both of them, and we will

529
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: be there. Doesn't hurt that it's an eleven am kickoff,

530
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: does not hurt at all. But we are taking the

531
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: show to Dallas. We are taking the tour to Dallas.

532
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: Hoops amongst us knows we may spend multiple weeks in

533
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: a row in the state of Texas. Spoiler alert, spoiler alert.

534
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: So that's where the faultont Lie tour is headed this Saturday,

535
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: acc homersm those will be the new allegations. Let's continue.

536
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: We've got a lot of show. We got a lot

537
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: of show to go. LSU, so respectful. Those folks are

538
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: down there firing a head coach during the show. This

539
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: is like, you know what, I'm not even gonna mention

540
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: that I'll be accused of becoming political. Look, I'm just

541
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 1: saying there are certain shows in the political sphere in

542
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: the past, specifically talk radio, specifically midday afternoon drive on

543
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 1: the East Coast, where it became kind of well known

544
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 1: that the big political movers and shakers would make sure

545
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 1: their news broke right before this certain show went on

546
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: air because that show moved the dial nationwide. I'm not

547
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: saying our show has become that in college football, I'm

548
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,719
Speaker 1: just slightly suggesting it. That's all I'm saying. Do I

549
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: think the governor and the board of trustees and the

550
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: donors all sat around a table tonight and said, let's

551
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: wait until Pate goes live. Yes, that's absolutely what I'm saying.

552
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: And until proven otherwise, that's the story we're going to

553
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: roll with. Okay ole Miss beat Oklahoma thirty four to

554
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: twenty six. I gotta be real with Lane Kiffin. I

555
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: doubted him. I doubted that Lane Kiffin could win this

556
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: game yesterday and to a degree, Ole Miss, but they

557
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: won it that sec eleven am windows pretty wild right now,

558
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: by the way, three and a half tili game, very

559
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: entertaining game there. Weather left a lot to be desired.

560
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: Oklahoma's defense left a lot to be desired. Or were

561
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: they always right to be picked off? And Ole Miss

562
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: just finally ended up being the one to do it.

563
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: So I was confident that Oklahoma would win this game.

564
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: So I whiffed on this one. We hit on a

565
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: lot of other stuff, but I whiffed on this one.

566
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: We did learn lessons, though, so it was a real

567
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: gut check moment for Old Miss. They really school Oklahoma's defense.

568
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: And to be fair, I think I said this on

569
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: the show last Wednesday or Thursday, we didn't have show Wednesday.

570
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: I said I was getting some feedback from coaches around

571
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: the league, and there were a lot of coaches around

572
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: the SEC who thought oh U's corners may be in

573
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: trouble here, Like it's good defense overall, but the corners

574
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: aren't elite. The secondary is not elite. And you know,

575
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: I thought the dynamics were against Ole Miss so much

576
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: that I kind of ignored it. I shouldn't have, because

577
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: oh U secondary kind of got I wouldn't say exposed,

578
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: but just targeted and victimized a little bit more than

579
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: you've seen all year. Seven passes in this game accounted

580
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: for over two hundred yards for Ole Miss. Kawan Lacey

581
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: had seventy eight yards. But they were a big seventy

582
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: eight yards rushing twenty seven carries for seventy eight yards.

583
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: That's under three yards per carry. Normally, that stat line

584
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: indicates you got stuffed. I did not feel like that

585
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: watching Kewan Lacey against Oklahoma yesterday. So it was a

586
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: huge gut check moment. And I'll go over the dynamics

587
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: again in a second. The reason, you know, in retrospect

588
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: why you may ask me, why did you why'd you

589
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: like Oklahoma so much? Well, I'll tell you I told

590
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: you before. I'll tell you again. Oh you was real

591
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: hollow yesterday offensively though, This is the other thing that

592
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: stood out to me. This is where Pete Golding in

593
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: his defense, deserves a lot of credit because Oklahoma did

594
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,959
Speaker 1: get to twenty six, so they got it to, you know,

595
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: one possession, and it looks like it's a close game,

596
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: and some of the offensive stat lines look kind of

597
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: semi okay, But oh, you had a seventy six yard

598
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: and a sixty five yard touchdown pass and run. You

599
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: can't ever shave the explosives out. Explosives are a key

600
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: part of the game. Those are two capbuster explosive plays.

601
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: The reason I say it was a hollow performance is

602
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: because there's a big difference when you put up you know,

603
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: like four hundred total yards, let's say, and it's just

604
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: a product of a bunch of sustained drives. Then there's

605
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: another kind of game where two plays account for fifty

606
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: percent of your total yardage and the rest of the

607
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: afternoon they kind of handled you. The latter kind of

608
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: describes how Ole Miss handled Oklahoma here because outside of

609
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: those two explosives, it is kind of a paper popper.

610
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: I would say, oh, you had fourteen first downs, they

611
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,239
Speaker 1: were five of seventeen on third and fourth down. They

612
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: had seven drives of four plays or less in this game,

613
00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: So it wasn't a bin, but don't break because almost

614
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: broke a couple of times. Other than that, they didn't

615
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: even bend a whole lot. It was a subpar game

616
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: from John Matteir. Again, one of the lamest things that

617
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: people are doing to me right now is sending me

618
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: bills in the mail. The second most lame thing people

619
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: are doing is they keep on making fun of me

620
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: for betting this kid to win the Heisman. And I

621
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: don't know. I had to ask Jesse today because I

622
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: sometimes need my memory jogged. Did he not have surgery

623
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: on his throwing hand literally within the last month. Yes,

624
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: I'm being told, yes, that did happen. It's not the

625
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: biggest shock in the world that the passing numbers have

626
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: tailed off. And for anyone who wants to say that

627
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: was gonna happen anyway, you don't know that, you don't

628
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: know that. So he was seventeen of thirty one, two

629
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: twenty three. One of those was a big play. Very pedestrian.

630
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: I kind of think he is what he is at

631
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: this point. I would view him as very limited, you know,

632
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: because they had to cut his hand open a couple

633
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. That tends to happen when you have

634
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: surgery on your throwing and no matter how much your

635
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: doctor posts on an Oklahoma message board that everything's okay,

636
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: sometimes it's not okay. The dynamics were against Ole Miss.

637
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: Let me tell you why I thought Oklahoma was gonna

638
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: win this game. A couple of actually three or four things.

639
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: It was the second leg of a back to back

640
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,239
Speaker 1: road spot for Ole Miss, so that's always tough. It

641
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,959
Speaker 1: was tough for several other teams. Yesterday you had the

642
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: Florida rumors surrounding Lane Kiffin and we were fresh off

643
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: a week where we saw Matt Ruhle's team just implode

644
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: at Minnesota after everyone had speculated about him in Penn

645
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,959
Speaker 1: State all week. Now, Lane's a little more used to this,

646
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: so maybe I should have dismissed that more than I did.

647
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: He had not had a single ranked road win in

648
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: his entire career at Ole Miss, so he was going

649
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: to have to accomplish a first in very trying circumstances

650
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: and probably the most tangible football related aspect. They had

651
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: just played a week before, and they had guys. I

652
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: heard McElroy talk about this in the broadcast. A bunch

653
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: of their guys on the defensive line played a ton

654
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: of snaps. They were on the field over eighty plays

655
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: the week before, but they have no depth, so a

656
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: lot of they had defensive line to play over eighty

657
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: snaps the week before, and I thought that OU was

658
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 1: gonna own the second half because of that, and it

659
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,280
Speaker 1: just never turned out that way because they couldn't sustain anything.

660
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: That's where the credit goes. Now. It would be nice

661
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: if Full Miss had to buy this week. They don't.

662
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: They play South Carolina. It is no longer October, but

663
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that a little bit later, but nevertheless,

664
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: they play South Carolina this weekend. Ole Miss right now

665
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,280
Speaker 1: is a one loss team. They're one losses to Georgia.

666
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: They've already gotten through LSU. They went to Georgia, they

667
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: went to OU, and they went two to one in

668
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: that stretch and they didn't drop a game they weren't

669
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: supposed to before that. So they had no breathing room

670
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: this time last year because they dropped the Kentucky game.

671
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: This year, ironically, the Kentucky game and the Washington State

672
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: game were kind of close, but they won both of them,

673
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: so now they have breathing room. So I don't know

674
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: how many scenarios there are where Olemiss doesn't make the playoff.

675
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 1: They've got one loss, so they don't have a ton

676
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: of wiggle room. But they play South Carolina, Citadel, Florida,

677
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: and at Mississippi State. I guess the schedules right in

678
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: front of me. They'll be favored in all four. Doesn't

679
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: mean they went all four. They could drop one though

680
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 1: and still make the playoff. So it's right there. Man.

681
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: If they blow this one, they've really found a way

682
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: to blow it. Oklahoma is now a two loss team.

683
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: Look everyone's firing their coaches right now, and I know

684
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: there's going to be a fair amount of traction and

685
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: noise around Brenton Venables. I'm not there at all. On

686
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: Brinton Venables. You guys can say whatever you want to.

687
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: They're probably not done losing. My guess, when they got

688
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: to go to Knoxville and two Tuscaloosa and they got

689
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: Missouri and LSU to close the season, probably one or

690
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: two more losses on there, they kind of are who

691
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: they are at that point. We picked them to go

692
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: eight and four. That would still be my pick for

693
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: OU to go eight and four. Just again, like I said,

694
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: come on last year, it's not a disaster. Don't need

695
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: wholesale changes. Maybe some position coach changes, which happens every

696
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: year anyway. Yeah, but fire Brint Venables. No, No, I'm

697
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: not there. It's not my program, you guys program, But

698
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: I'm not there. Let's move on again. I know a

699
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: lot of people are watching if you're just tuning in.

700
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,280
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly has been fired as the head coach at LSU.

701
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: You know what, this takes me back to Jesse. It

702
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 1: takes me back to doing talk radio. We would do

703
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: three hours of afternoon drive radio in Columbus, and a

704
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: lot of times when you're doing shows at the close

705
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: of business on the East Coast, a lot of the

706
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: news breaks at the end of the day, so frequently

707
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: you'd have breaking news, and all the consultants would always

708
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: tell you make sure you recap the news every fifteen minutes,

709
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: because the average commute is like thirteen and a half

710
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: minutes in Columbus, Georgia. So we would, you know, like

711
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: if Bobby Cox retired as the manager of the Braves,

712
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: you're hitting at news every fifteen minutes. So I have

713
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: I feeled at my obligation because I know some people

714
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:01,919
Speaker 1: just tuning in now they don't even know Brian Kelly

715
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: got fired. Brian Kelly has been fired as the head

716
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: coach at LSU, and we have already reacted top to bottom,

717
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 1: soup to nuts to it, as Mema would say. Mema

718
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: never said that. So you can rewind in the show.

719
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: Just make sure you catch up on the rest of

720
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: the show afterwards. Alabama, somehow, some way survived October yesterday,

721
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: twenty nine to twenty two. The final I would give

722
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: this game for chi. I would imagine most of the

723
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: world ended up being tuned into this game, and I,

724
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: if you're listening on podcasts, am wagging my index finger

725
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: at many of you. This is your fault. This is

726
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: not my fault. It's your fault. Because I tried to

727
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: warn everyone. Did we not use this microphone last week?

728
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: To warn the nation? I felt like Paul Revere and

729
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: I said, Coctober is coming. October is coming? And everyone

730
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: said nah, No. South Carolina already had their chances, Bama's role,

731
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: and now they're favored to win everything in the SEC.

732
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: And haven't you They've already beaten you oga, they beat Vandy,

733
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: they beat Missouri, they beat Tennessee. This is South Carolina.

734
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: This is where you get to exhale a little bit.

735
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: And then you go into the bye week and they're

736
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: favored by double digits. Oh it moved from thirteen and

737
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 1: a half to eleven and a half. That's still a

738
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: comfortable whim And then guess what happened? A football game?

739
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: And they don't always go the way they're supposed to,

740
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: and it's twenty two to fourteen and it's the fourth quarter,

741
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, people started to believe in October.

742
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: And I'm over here at Vanderbilt watching that game happen

743
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,439
Speaker 1: in front of me. I got the eye Josh here,

744
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: and we all know that Vandy's WiFi comes through, so

745
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 1: you're kind of watching two games at once. And I'm

746
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: just sitting there thinking to myself. I must have mouthed

747
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: these words a thousand times. I told them, I told

748
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: them they didn't want to listen. I told them I

749
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 1: would call this a C level effort from Alabama, and

750
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: they won the game. I want to make sure I

751
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: have the proper tone here. This is a huge win

752
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: for Alabama, huge win. Ton of credit do for winning

753
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: this game. This is not the old school now. I

754
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: understand the new era we're in. You don't have to

755
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 1: you don't have to school me in the comments. I

756
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: get it. There's a lot of compacted nature about the

757
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: sport now. No team better exemplifies that than Alabama. Every

758
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: game is a one possession game. This is Kaylin de

759
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: Bores Washington just wearing Alabama clothing right now. Now. It

760
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: may not always be that way, but this year's team

761
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: seems to be that way. And before anyone thinks that's

762
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: a slight, I'm referring to a team that played for

763
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: a national championship. They're really good in those critical moments.

764
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: Our Buddy Brooks Austin's been talking about this a lot

765
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: on Twitter. You know, you got to win those criticals.

766
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,479
Speaker 1: Bama just dominates the criticals. And therefore it doesn't matter

767
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: if it's forty two to ten or twenty nine to

768
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: twenty two, because the SEC League office just says it's

769
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: a win. So that's really what mattered here. Ty Simpson

770
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 1: nothing to write home about. First three quarters of this game.

771
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 1: They needed two scoring drives and he led two scoring drives.

772
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: And I would say the most important player outside of

773
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: Ty Simpson on this team is named Jeremy Bernard. And

774
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: in a day where Ryan Williams had some issues with drops,

775
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 1: in a day where lot Zer Brooks is out, in

776
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: a day where Isaiah Horton's limited, you needed every bit

777
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: of Jeremy Bernard, and there he was. And then you

778
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: got Ryan Grubb, who is putting on about as good

779
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: a clinic and play calling given their limitations as anyone

780
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: in America. Somehow, some way is able to squeeze that

781
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: sponge hard enough to where they get just enough offense

782
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: out and they did it again. Could not run the

783
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:39,439
Speaker 1: ball to save their lives conventionally, and yet they still

784
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: find a way. See most of the time. Here's what

785
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: makes them so able to be bought into offensively. There

786
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: are a bunch of other teams around the country that

787
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 1: can't run the ball and their offense just implodes, It

788
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 1: just shuts down. Alabama somehow still able to function and

789
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: function at a fairly high level when it's time to

790
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: So that's really impressive to me. But I saw this

791
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,280
Speaker 1: and I heard this yesterday. Stop me if this sounded

792
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: like you yesterday. You've watched Bama. They've looked really impressive

793
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: these last few weeks, right, and you watched this yesterday.

794
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: A lot of people watched this game yesterday and they said, man,

795
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: what's wrong with him? That isn't Alabama. That doesn't look

796
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: like Alabama. It absolutely is Alabama. It's just that people

797
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: don't think about teams in terms of ranges of outcome.

798
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: They just get this idea in their head and a

799
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: lot of people just watch highlights of games. So when

800
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: you think Alabama, you think Ryan Williams with some circus catches.

801
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: Ty Simpson, a lot of guys have been talking about

802
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: him now, is the best quarterback in this class? And

803
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 1: so you're watching this Highlight All twenty two tape and

804
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: you're seeing yonz Pierre get after the quarterback last year.

805
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: But your mind's thinking in terms of highlight that's not football.

806
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: That's not how football actually works. You're gonna be on

807
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: the field like seventy plays each way. It's a lot

808
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: of plays these days, but still, when you've got the

809
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: one hundred and twelfth best rushing attack in the country,

810
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,959
Speaker 1: there's a lot of volatility that goes into the range

811
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,399
Speaker 1: of outcome. And the reason I stressed the Tennessee game

812
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: last week so much in the lead up to this

813
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: game is because on the surface it looks like a

814
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: comfortable win. It wasn't. It wasn't because there was a

815
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: play near the half that if I just changed one

816
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 1: factor of it completely warps that game. And it's the

817
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: play right down near the goal line, which took a

818
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: game that could have been sixteen to fourteen Alabama going

819
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: into the half Tennessee with all the momentum to it's

820
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: twenty three to seven and Bama's got a death grip

821
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: on the game. Now you may think to yourself, what

822
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: are you trying to do? Discredit that play? No that's

823
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: a heck of a play by Zabim Brown. All credit

824
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 1: due to Cane Womack in the red zone defense. My

825
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: point there was that ends up making a game look

826
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: like it was comfortable. It was a blowout. It wasn't that.

827
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't All these games they're playing are really compacted,

828
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: they're really close. They're one possession. I almost said one

829
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: possession either way. They haven't been either. They've all gone

830
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 1: Bama's way, just like when Debor made that run at Washington,

831
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: all those games went his way. There's a ton of

832
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 1: skill in that. You just got to get comfortable with

833
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,439
Speaker 1: being uncomfortable. If you're a Bama fan right now, it's

834
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: not Saban, it's not forty two to seven, or maybe

835
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: if we suck in the fourth quarter forty two to

836
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: twenty and everyone gets chewed out afterwards, it's not that anymore.

837
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: But wins are still wins. You shouldn't be shocked by

838
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: these outcomes, and it's gonna be a pretty consistent game script.

839
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: I think. Now here's the bad news. The bad news is,

840
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: yet again as a double digit favorite, you had to

841
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,240
Speaker 1: really really sweat until the last minute. The good news

842
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: is you can also go turn in a game like

843
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 1: you did Agast Georgia, Alabama, go beat Ohio State, then

844
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: go beat Indiana, beat A and M. They could beat anybody.

845
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: But they could also play Auburn in a few weeks

846
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: and trail in the fourth quarter. That's just the nature

847
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 1: of the games they're playing this year. There's gonna be

848
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: nail bier after nail bider. This also made me think

849
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 1: about South Carolina and why the college football playoff selection

850
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: process hurt for them so much worse last year. I'm

851
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: not saying they should have been in the playoff. Some

852
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: of them thought they should have been in the playoff.

853
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: They were in the running. They were like one of

854
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: the first few teams out. Now Bama ironically was also

855
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: one of the first few teams out. Bama fans just

856
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 1: looked at that and said, oh, well, we'll get him

857
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: next year. South Carolina fans don't get to say that

858
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: nearly as confidently, because now they're down several guys from

859
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: that group last year. They're nowhere close to being a

860
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: playoff caliber team. They're three and five, and you've got

861
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 1: Lenora Sellers essentially having to try and do it all.

862
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:40,959
Speaker 1: A lot of the reports we heard from fall camp

863
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: have not panned out. That wide receiver room behind Nick

864
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: Harbor has not surprised anyone. They couldn't run the ball

865
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 1: yesterday either. They've averaged about three yards per carry outside

866
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,359
Speaker 1: of Lenora Sellers this year. And what hurts is they've

867
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: hit on him. Leonora Sellers is a star quarterback. He's

868
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: a bona fide star. There are talent the likes of

869
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: which you rarely see come through your program, and what

870
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,320
Speaker 1: happens when you do have one is you view it

871
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: as a Christmas tree and you throw every ornament you

872
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: got on that thing. And South Carolina didn't have enough ornaments.

873
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: And what really hurts is he's going to go on

874
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: to do things in the NFL, and ten years from now,

875
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 1: someone's gonna say, hey, where'd he plays college ball? And

876
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: someone will say, oh, he plays South Carolina and you'll say, oh, man,

877
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: they must have had a really good stretch there, and

878
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: you'll look back and this year won't make a lot

879
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,240
Speaker 1: of sense because you'll be asking how did they only

880
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: win five games with Leonora's Sellers called? Respectfully, I don't

881
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: want to say it this way because it's going to

882
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 1: sound bad. He's not the only one out there. They

883
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: fought their tails off yesterday. I don't mean that. I

884
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: mean they got to have better football players than they

885
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: have given the talent they have at quarterback, and that's

886
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 1: what will be the letdown when you ultimately, I think,

887
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 1: look back on this season, they've been through a lot

888
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: up there question the competitive character, the integrity, the buy in,

889
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,320
Speaker 1: the culture. I don't question any of that. They don't

890
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: have enough good football players. It is the most academic

891
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 1: reason why you don't win. You didn't have enough good

892
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: football players. And it's not just a yesterday thing. Obviously,

893
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: they got plenty good enough products, at least of Academy

894
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: Sports and Outdoors. You can find those in and around Columbia.

895
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: You can find them in and around Nashville. You can

896
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: find it hopefully in and around your neighborhood. But even

897
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: if you can't, Academy dot Com has your hookup and

898
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,240
Speaker 1: we appreciate it. You know, there may be some people

899
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: down in Baton Rouge who have foregone purchasing LSU gear

900
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: for a little while because they wanted changes in the program.

901
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,359
Speaker 1: I can't confirm nor deny Academy had anything to do

902
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: with the firing of Brian Kelly tonight, I can confirm

903
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly's been fired. And if that excites you, what

904
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 1: better way to celebrate than going and buying a purplely

905
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: gold T shirt at Academy tomorrow morning. I say tomorrow

906
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 1: morning because they may be closed already. You can go

907
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: on academy dot com and get it right now and

908
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,240
Speaker 1: you can get tailgating equipment, short sleeves or long sleeves.

909
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: You know, the seasons they are are changing. We're rolling

910
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: back the clocks next week, which means it's dark at

911
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 1: two thirty three o'clock in the afternoon in Nashville. It's great.

912
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 1: Does wonders for seasonal depression. It's phenomenal. Even if you

913
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 1: don't have it, it gives it to you. That has

914
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 1: nothing to do with Academy. I digress. They still close

915
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:23,879
Speaker 1: at the same time every night, so we appreciate them

916
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 1: longtime partner of the show, and they continue to be

917
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: just locked arm in arm with us. Again. I know

918
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: we got a ton of folks. We got like fifteen

919
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: thousand people tune in live. Yes, Brian Kelly has been

920
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: fired at LSU. It is a bombshell type night news wise,

921
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 1: there is a ton going on I have right now

922
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 1: on the eye, Josh, Let's just see who Jesse. Are

923
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: you seeing this? Yes, because you send it to me.

924
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: Fifty three million dollar buyout, second largest buyout in college

925
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 1: football history, can be paid monthly until twenty thirty one.

926
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 1: Should Kelly take another job, the buyout would reduce by

927
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 1: the amount of the news salary. To my knowledge, Jesse,

928
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: I don't think he has a duty to mitigate like

929
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: James Franklin does. Niko said he does have a duty

930
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 1: to mitigate. Okay, so well that sounds like Portuguese. All

931
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 1: that means is he's got to try and go get

932
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 1: another job, kind of like James Franklin has to do.

933
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: Was Franklin at the Falcons game today? By the way,

934
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 1: did you see that, Jesse? And he was wearing a

935
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 1: track suit like the most neutral colors ever. Anyway, has

936
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 1: nothing to do with this. That is the eighth So

937
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,839
Speaker 1: LSU was open now eighth power for vacancy right now

938
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 1: and Frank Wilson interim head coach. So just oh, in

939
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:46,359
Speaker 1: this economy, no less ungodly amounts of money being paid

940
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 1: to people not to coach. I don't know, it's not

941
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 1: my money and chances are. If you're watching this as

942
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: an lsuvan, it's not your money anyway, So you get

943
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: to go to work tomorrow, dust your hands off, and

944
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,840
Speaker 1: say who are gonna get it? Anyway? It's been a

945
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,919
Speaker 1: wild show so far. Just what I was going to say.

946
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,720

953
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:29,359

954

Speaker 1: for you to subscribe, which is free, and we appreciate it.

955
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: I was at Vanderbilt yesterday and they beat Missouri seventeen

956
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: to ten, and I got to put three chali on

957
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: this game, and I talked to a lot of Vandy

958
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: staffers on the field after the game. And one of

959
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 1: the growing trends in college football is when we're at

960
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 1: a game, one of the first things people ask is

961
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 1: how many chili? How many chili? Three three Chali. On

962
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,320
Speaker 1: this game, we were fueled by quick trip all the

963
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 1: way down the road and back. They fueled our trip

964
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 1: down there. It tanks a sophisticated palette to appreciate this

965
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: kind of game, and I don't expect everyone to get it.

966
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 1: But what I will expect you to appreciate is that

967
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 1: this was a badlock Bowl, not even just a badlock stat.

968
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of inside baseball nomenclature here. So

969
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 1: on the show we talk about padlock stats all the time.

970
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 1: A padlock stat is if I told you this stat Friday,

971
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: it would have let you know who was going to

972
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 1: win the game. The badlock stat is like the deadbeat

973
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 1: cousin of the padlock stat. The badlock stat is a

974
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 1: number or a collection of numbers that if I told

975
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 1: you Friday, would have fooled you into guessing which team

976
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: was going to win. So there was a team that

977
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: outgained the other three seventy six to two sixty five

978
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 1: in this game. There was a team that had a

979
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 1: twenty two to thirteen first down edge. There was a

980
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 1: team that ran seventy eight plays to their opponent's forty five.

981
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 1: There was a team with a thirteen minute time of

982
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 1: possession edge, and that team was not Vanderbilt. That team

983
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: was Missouri. And yet Missouri flew back home yesterday with

984
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: a loss because the game was won in the red

985
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 1: zone and Missouri was one one of three in that

986
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: portion of the field with seven points and Vandy was

987
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 1: two of two for ten points. Doesn't sound like a lot.

988
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: Josh didn't take a lot. Eleven points would have won

989
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 1: the game. Vandy scored seventeen. The game was also saved

990
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 1: in Vanderbilt territory. To me, this was the padlock stap,

991
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,280
Speaker 1: paper popper of a padlock stap, a lot of alliteration.

992
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: On tonight's show, Missouri crossed the fifty yard line seven

993
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 1: times and netted ten points. That's getting it done. That's opportunistic, situational,

994
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. And then there was

995
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 1: a third quarter capbuster play. Young ran at eighty yards

996
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 1: down the far sideline where I was standing for a touchdown,

997
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: and look at these low scoring games. That's all it takes.

998
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: It was just a nightmare of an afternoon from Missouri.

999
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 1: Third quarter, fourth and goal, They don't get it. And

1000
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 1: then bot Pribulah is down at the bottom of the

1001
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,800
Speaker 1: pile and this was this is a bad scene on TV.

1002
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 1: I had gone up to the press box for a

1003
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: second to see some people saw him watching. You know,

1004
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 1: I got this idea in my head, all right, Missouri

1005
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 1: will score here and then there'll be you know, like

1006
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 1: a nine minute commercial timeout, and I'll have time to

1007
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 1: go back down on the field. Well, they get stopped

1008
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: on fourth and goal and there's a big pile there,

1009
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 1: and so then I'm saying by to some people, I'm

1010
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: about to head back down. I didn't realize Perbula was

1011
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,439
Speaker 1: still down. I looked back down there and I saw

1012
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 1: that he was down, and then they were tending to

1013
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 1: em medically. But I didn't know it was both Perbula

1014
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 1: yet because I couldn't see that far. So I got

1015
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 1: on the elevator and went down. It was a bad scene, man.

1016
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 1: It sucked because Vanderbilt Stadium as such that from the

1017
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: end zone they were in, you can't go behind the

1018
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: team benches on the natural playing surface to get to

1019
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: the tunnel that Missouri comes out, because Vandy's benches go

1020
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: all the way up against the wall. So you got

1021
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 1: to take him under the stadium, which is the same

1022
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 1: area where the elevator comes out and it looks like

1023
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 1: fifteen thirty eight construction site underneath vandy Staium. It's actually

1024
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 1: kind of awesome, but it looks like the Pyramids are

1025
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 1: in the middle of being built down there. And I

1026
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: walk out of the elevator and there's Boat Pribulah in

1027
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 1: a wheelchair with an air cast on his leg and

1028
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 1: his parents are walking by. And it's anytime players get

1029
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 1: hurt in college, especially, I don't know why it's different

1030
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,319
Speaker 1: than pros. It's just it's so bad because it can

1031
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,399
Speaker 1: change like that. So the latest on him, by the way,

1032
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 1: is he didn't break anything. Drink confirmed that yesterday. Eli

1033
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: Drinkquitz didn't break anything, but it's a bad sprain, there's

1034
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 1: ligament damage. There's an outside chance. They think he may

1035
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:33,760
Speaker 1: be able to come back at some point this year. Look,

1036
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:39,280
Speaker 1: I consider that a sigh of relief, especially when compared

1037
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: to what it looked like in real time, because it

1038
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 1: was kind of gross in real time. So that's good.

1039
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 1: As for Missouri, it's their second conference loss. They still

1040
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: got Texas A and M. They got to go to Oklahoma,

1041
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: they got to go to Arkansas, they got Misissippi State,

1042
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: so it's it's just seasons can change on a dime.

1043
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 1: No better illustration of that than this game yesterday. Vandy

1044
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,359
Speaker 1: is seven and one. Now they are three and one

1045
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 1: in conference. Now, they've got a stretch coming up, and

1046
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 1: it's a really interesting position they're in. Okay, because Vandy

1047
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 1: has a one loss record right now, they can afford

1048
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 1: if you're just talking about the playoff, they coul actually

1049
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 1: afford to lose one more game and still make it.

1050
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 1: They go to Texas this weekend. They're a two and

1051
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 1: a half point dog in Austin, which implies they would

1052
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:24,719
Speaker 1: be a slight favorite on a neutral field, because that's

1053
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 1: a world that we live in now where Vandy would

1054
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: be power rated above Texas. Then they've got Auburn at home,

1055
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: They've got Kentucky at home, and they go to Tennessee.

1056
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:40,720
Speaker 1: So what's Fandy's record going to be? Everyone's paying attention

1057
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 1: to them now, they're not sneaking up on anyone. What's

1058
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 1: Fandy's record going to be? They also just look, if

1059
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: you love what clark Lee is doing there, there's going

1060
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 1: to be a market for Clark Lee. Now. Unlike certain

1061
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 1: pregame shows, I don't have a three leves agency in

1062
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 1: my ear suggesting that I pressure anyone publicly to re

1063
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:07,800
Speaker 1: sign clark Lee. I'm just saying out of the kindness

1064
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 1: of my heart because I like him being a citizen

1065
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:12,319
Speaker 1: here in Nashville. Might want to step up if you

1066
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 1: want to resign clark Lee or we want to keep

1067
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:16,760
Speaker 1: him here because there are more jobs opening by the minute,

1068
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:20,880
Speaker 1: and people aren't stupid. They notice what's happening here at

1069
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt and they think to themselves, if he could do

1070
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: that at Vanderbilt, imagine you know the rest. They're watching

1071
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: us in Spanish Ford, Alabama, Charlotte, North Carolina, and Ogden, Utah.

1072
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 1: We appreciate it so much. Jesse is texting me throughout

1073
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: the show. Oh, let's oh my goodness. Oh it's a

1074
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: It's an LSU hot board. Is this Nakos? Is this

1075
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:46,799
Speaker 1: Pete Nakos's first LSU hot board? Jesse? Oh, man, hey,

1076
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: is this in order? Like or did he just throw

1077
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:53,319
Speaker 1: these names out? It's not even alphabetical, it's the order

1078
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 1: of the article. Huh. Well, it brings me no joy

1079
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:00,919
Speaker 1: and also no surprise to let you know that Lane

1080
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 1: Kiffin is at the top of the LSU hot board.

1081
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: There is a name beneath Lane Kiffen, And I'm just

1082
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 1: gonna tell you it's the name I've had in mind

1083
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 1: the entire time for LSU, and that's Marcus Freeman. You

1084
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: go make Marcus Freeman till you know Marcus Freeman's gonna

1085
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 1: look at the LSU job if they offer him. That

1086
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 1: is my gut. I've not talked to Marcus Freeman about that.

1087
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: It is my gut that anybody looks at the LSU

1088
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 1: job if offered. And I would strongly recommend LSU just

1089
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 1: write out on a piece of paper how much easier

1090
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 1: it is to take transfers there that haven't graduated already

1091
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:40,879
Speaker 1: as opposed to what it's like trying to get him

1092
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 1: in school in South ben That is where you'll find

1093
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 1: out if Marcus Freeman would ever leave, because if he's

1094
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 1: not going there, he's not leaving for a college job.

1095
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:53,280
Speaker 1: It would be NFL if someone ever prized Marcus Freeman away.

1096
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: Who else do we have on here just out of curiosity?

1097
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 1: Kenny Dillingham is on here, Jeff Brahm's on here, Eli

1098
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 1: drink Wentz, Clark Lee, there you go, Brent Key, John

1099
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 1: Sumraw may not even have to sell his house if

1100
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 1: he takes the LSU job. These are very interesting times.

1101
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 1: So Marcus Freeman's been the name I've had in mind

1102
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: for quite a while with LSU. So now now we'll

1103
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 1: see if it's actually something that's able to be a

1104
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: reality or not. Let's continue. Texas they won this game?

1105
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 1: Who how would I know? I turned it off after

1106
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: they were down seventeen in the fourth quarter. Texas forty five,

1107
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 1: Mississippi State thirty eight. Well, this has got to be

1108
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: a four and a half chili game, doesn't it? Oh?

1109
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 1: There it is. There's the graphic four and a half

1110
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: chili with an asterisk on it. Because I'm kidding about

1111
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 1: turning the game off. I was glued to it. But

1112
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 1: this is only a four and a half chili game

1113
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: if you stay tuned in. So I ask you did you?

1114
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 1: Did you stay tuned in? Because I've got it on

1115
00:57:55,240 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: good authority many of you did not seventeen points game

1116
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 1: with ten minutes to go? Why would you stay tuned in?

1117
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 1: Texas's offense sucks? Well, it sucked past tense. Texas could

1118
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 1: be back now, who knows? They needed multiple scores on

1119
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 1: the road with ten minutes to go, and you know

1120
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 1: what they got multiple scores on the road. With ten

1121
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 1: minutes to go, they had a nine play seventy five

1122
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:21,919
Speaker 1: yard touchdown drive. Then they forced a three and out,

1123
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 1: which was greatly aided by Mississippi State continuing to run tempo.

1124
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 1: But you know what, I can't get mad at him

1125
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 1: for that. Then there's a twelve play fifty three yard

1126
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:35,880
Speaker 1: field goal drive, another three and out, and then there's

1127
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: a punt return for a touchdown, and now we're going

1128
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 1: to overtime. And I mean, this is despite the fact

1129
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 1: that Mississippi State kind of low key went to work

1130
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 1: on Texas's defense. They had five different pass catchers over

1131
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: sixty yards yesterday. Can you imagine telling Jeff Levy you're

1132
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 1: gonna have that happen, and you're gonna, I mean, you're

1133
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 1: gonna be in the mid to upper thirty. I know

1134
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 1: we got overtime there, but all that's gonna happen, and

1135
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna let another one get away. This is the

1136
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 1: same team that had Tennessee on the ropes and they

1137
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 1: let him off the hook, and then they had Florida

1138
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: down last week and somehow lost that one and then

1139
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 1: this happens, and it's the kind of thing that if

1140
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: you're looking at it from the if I'm looking at

1141
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 1: this from the perspective of a Mississippi State fan, I

1142
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 1: would not wish this on my worst enemy, which is

1143
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 1: ironic because it happened to my worst enemy. Because not

1144
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 1: only did Mississippi State blow this thing in historical fashion yesterday,

1145
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 1: enemy of the program, Brandon Walker was actually in the

1146
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 1: building for it. And not only that, he had a

1147
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 1: crew essentially documenting his every move because he wanted to

1148
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 1: be there. And there they go up and he thinks

1149
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 1: they've got it in the bag, and so we started

1150
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 1: to show himself. He started to feel himself a little bit,

1151
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 1: and he's got someone trying to keep up with him. Look,

1152
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: let's just put all our cards on the table. How

1153
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: hard is it to keep up with Brandon Walker. He's

1154
00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 1: already out of breath. He took a break at the

1155
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 1: forty yard line. Fireworks going off all over the place.

1156
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:06,920
Speaker 1: You're up seventeen on Texas and you're thinking, there's no

1157
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 1: way this turns. There's no way this turns. And if

1158
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 1: it was just left up to the football team, it

1159
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:14,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't have turned. I'm fully convinced that if it was

1160
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 1: just Mississippi State and Jeff Levy. They would have gotten

1161
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 1: the job done yesterday. But the Brandon Walkers of the

1162
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: world couldn't leave well enough alone. They couldn't just ring

1163
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 1: the cowbell and wap up their buddies know what they

1164
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 1: have to do. They had to feel themselves a little

1165
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 1: bit too much. There's the evidence if you're listening on podcasts,

1166
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 1: Brandon Walker, with time left on the clock, screwed the

1167
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:39,439
Speaker 1: entire state of Mississippi. Figuratively, he threw the horns down.

1168
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 1: You're not You're not who you thought you were. You

1169
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 1: were still Mississippi State, Bud. You can't horns down with

1170
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 1: time left on the clock. And so let me tell

1171
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 1: you what happens. They go to overtime and I know

1172
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: it looks overcast there, but God could see everything happening

1173
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 1: down there on that field in Startfelle, miss and he said,

1174
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 1: it's that time. It's time, as I've done so many

1175
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 1: times before, to teach Brandon Walker a lesson. And I

1176
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 1: kid you not. They go to overtime and Texas hits

1177
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 1: that game winning touchdown, and wouldn't you know it, it

1178
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 1: happens right in Brandon Walker's face. Look at that Now.

1179
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 1: I don't know medically how long Brandon Walker will live.

1180
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:28,720
Speaker 1: He may live another sixty years. I know that his

1181
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 1: soul died right there, right there, October twenty fifth. You

1182
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:38,160
Speaker 1: can go in and call it Brandon Walker's soul flatlines

1183
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:41,959
Speaker 1: and Texas gets out of there with a win. Again.

1184
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:45,439
Speaker 1: It brings me no joy. It brings me no joy.

1185
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 1: I think the game turned on the horns down and

1186
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 1: until someone proves otherwise, I've got to believe that's fact.

1187
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 1: So Brandon Walker lost this game from Mississippi State. You

1188
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 1: know what this is for Texas? To me, this is

1189
01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 1: the Bluegrass Miracle. For those of you on FORMIL, you're back.

1190
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 1: In November of two thousand and two, Saban was at LSU.

1191
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 1: They go up to Kentucky and they're down, and then

1192
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 1: they storm from behind, but it still looks like Kentucky's

1193
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 1: about to win, and they're ready to rush in the field.

1194
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 1: They already dumped the gatorade on the coach and they

1195
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:19,120
Speaker 1: hit like a seventy or eightyar touchdown pass whatever it is, titball,

1196
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: and they win the game and they dog pile and everything,

1197
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:26,120
Speaker 1: and it was like one of the most memorable plays

1198
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 1: in college football history. But I've listened to Saban talk

1199
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 1: about the game many times before, and he like skims

1200
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 1: over the actual Bluegrass miracle, and he's always wanting to

1201
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 1: talk about the next week because the next week they

1202
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 1: got blown out ironically by Alabama. And his whole message

1203
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 1: anytime he tells the story of the Bluegrass Miracle is

1204
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 1: we committed sins as a college football team and got

1205
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 1: away with it, and we happened to win a game,

1206
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 1: and it just delayed us learning lessons because we thought

1207
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 1: since we won the game, we didn't have to clean

1208
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 1: anything up, you know, Oh well it's all absolved. And

1209
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 1: they got blanked the next week. Texas just won a

1210
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 1: game they probably didn't have much business winning, but full

1211
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 1: credit to him for winning it. Here's the follow up question,

1212
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 1: how are you going to cash it in? Because you

1213
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 1: committed several errors. You got a ton of flaws, and

1214
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 1: now you're gonna face Vanderbilt fully equipped of making you

1215
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 1: pay for them if you don't get right. So the

1216
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 1: age old question in life and in football, do you

1217
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 1: have to suffer a loss? Do you have to learn

1218
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 1: the lessons in the form of a loss, or can

1219
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 1: you whistle past the graveyard? Learn the lessons and course

1220
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 1: correct without having to suffer consequences in the form of

1221
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 1: a loss. We're going to find that out. Texas is

1222
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:47,520
Speaker 1: six and two right now. They got to go home

1223
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 1: against Vandy. They still got to go to Georgia, they

1224
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 1: still got Arkansas, they still got A and M. I've

1225
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 1: got Texas. Most likely scenario is probably eight and four

1226
01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: right now, most likely, but they could go ten two,

1227
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:02,840
Speaker 1: they could go seven and five. All of these things

1228
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: are in the cards right now for Texas. Very nervous

1229
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 1: for Texas. Earlier today, we thought the power went out

1230
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 1: in the building. As it turns out, we just hadn't

1231
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 1: moved around enough, so the motion detectors thought there was

1232
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 1: no one in the building. But for a split second,

1233
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:22,920
Speaker 1: I thought, how crazy is it that flex Power is

1234
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:25,320
Speaker 1: a partner of our show, Yet here we are in

1235
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 1: need of a generator and we don't have one in

1236
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 1: the building. I've got one at home, we just don't

1237
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 1: have it in the building. Crisis averted As I said,

1238
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 1: Jesse was just sitting there like a potato sack, and

1239
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 1: the lights didn't even know that he was still in

1240
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 1: the building. I think I was out of range of

1241
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: the censor so it didn't pick me up an anyway,

1242
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 1: but flex power could have helped us out. But look,

1243
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 1: I'm a stormchaser, so I know the weather can get

1244
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:49,920
Speaker 1: a little rocky in the spring. But a lot of

1245
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: you had bad weather come through this past weekend. Maybe

1246
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 1: some of you dealt with power outages, or maybe some

1247
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 1: of you were just at a tailgate and you're saying

1248
01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 1: I need a little extra power. Flex power could have

1249
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 1: helped you. Power can't help you, and they help us.

1250
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 1: They're one of our big partners now, so we appreciate

1251
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 1: them being on board. We just gave Way a generator

1252
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. As a matter of fact,

1253
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 1: you can go to myflexpower dot com slash Josh Pate

1254
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 1: and you can get yourself one. They're incredibly quiet. I

1255
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 1: could probably go to sleep with one of those things

1256
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 1: running in my bedroom. Not that they advise it. In fact,

1257
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 1: I think they warn't against it in the guidelines that

1258
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:25,840
Speaker 1: they give you and whatnot. I'm just saying I'm a

1259
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 1: fairly heavy sleeper. I'll grant you that I think I

1260
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 1: could fall asleep next to one of those. In fact,

1261
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: for promotional ideas, Jesse write that down. Can I go

1262
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 1: to sleep with a flex power generator cranked next to me.

1263
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 1: I told you, if you just leave it to me,

1264
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 1: I'd come up with the ideas. So there it is.

1265
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 1: I think we just had a big ticket idea. There,

1266
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:52,080
Speaker 1: let's continue prayers for UCLA. All you can do is

1267
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 1: pray for them. They got tossed into the wood chripper yesterday.

1268
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 1: Indiana fifty six, UCLA six. It says here Indiana had

1269
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 1: touched on seven of their first nine drives. Somehow it

1270
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 1: felt worse than that. I watched dog fights all over

1271
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:11,120
Speaker 1: the place yesterday, and in Indiana just body bags people.

1272
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:15,600
Speaker 1: And yet Kurt Signitti still looks aggravated. It's like it's

1273
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 1: games taken too long? Man? What does that smell? This

1274
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 1: cold out here?

1275
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 2: Uh?

1276
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 1: Coach? It is now fifty six to six? Okay, whatever, okay, fine, great,

1277
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 1: grand wonderful. No yelling on the bus. That's Kurt Signitti,

1278
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:33,240
Speaker 1: I mean, well, on his way to the Big Ten

1279
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 1: championship game, well on his way to the playoffs again,

1280
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,600
Speaker 1: and just could not look more off put by the

1281
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 1: whole ordeal I have here UCLA's drive chart. Are you interested? No,

1282
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:50,000
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be, but you're gonna sit through it anyway. Interception,

1283
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 1: three and out, turnover on downs three and out, fumble,

1284
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:56,840
Speaker 1: punt field goal. We head to the locker room for

1285
01:06:56,960 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 1: some fabled halftime adjustments. We come back out field goal, interception,

1286
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:04,080
Speaker 1: turnover on downs. That is the end of the game.

1287
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:09,760
Speaker 1: That's all we got. And since u CLA lost this game,

1288
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 1: congrats to Tim Skipper. He got put on all the

1289
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 1: graphics as opposed to when they win they put Jerry

1290
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:20,520
Speaker 1: newhisel on the graphics. We move on. Auburn won this game.

1291
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 1: Are you I'm not Trey Biddy. I'm just I know

1292
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:27,000
Speaker 1: he said are you kidding me? A million times in

1293
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 1: the Walk and Talk. Auburn thirty three, Arkansas twenty four.

1294
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:35,439
Speaker 1: We bet Arkansas. Now we won. The ro Man Noutle

1295
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 1: Express won money yesterday, but it was no thanks to Arkansas.

1296
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 1: I think Bobby Patrino coached his way out of this job.

1297
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:42,640
Speaker 1: By the way, I thought Patrino was going to get

1298
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 1: this job. Now I don't think he will, because that's

1299
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:49,160
Speaker 1: how quickly this stuff can turn. Arkansas's last four drives,

1300
01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 1: as they once upon a time had a twenty one

1301
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 1: to ten lead. Interception, fumble, interception, interception, that is a

1302
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 1: dereliction of doing in the sport of football. Auburn had

1303
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:05,240
Speaker 1: five field goals and a pick six in the second half.

1304
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 1: It's like they didn't go grab the game and take it.

1305
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 1: It was Arkansas having to hand it to him three

1306
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:14,320
Speaker 1: or four times and then they finally said, okay, that

1307
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:17,439
Speaker 1: was the game. Oh and the weather was terrible, so

1308
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:20,040
Speaker 1: it was everything you could have wanted on a Saturday afternoon.

1309
01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 1: I don't think anything's changed with Hugh Freeze there. I mean,

1310
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:24,799
Speaker 1: if anyone was watching this thinking, well, if he loses,

1311
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:27,800
Speaker 1: he's fired, but if he wins, the jobs saved, I

1312
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 1: don't from what I hear, I don't think anything changed.

1313
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 1: My guess is there will still be a change at Auburn.

1314
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:38,400
Speaker 1: That's my guess. Here's why I say guess number one

1315
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:40,759
Speaker 1: because I don't know. I'm not involved in the decision.

1316
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:44,200
Speaker 1: This stuff can change by the hour. Number two. You

1317
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:49,960
Speaker 1: see right there that says Alabama. They play Alabama in

1318
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:52,840
Speaker 1: Jordenhair Stadium, and it doesn't matter if a high school

1319
01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:55,360
Speaker 1: team takes the field in Jordenhair Stadium. If they're wearing

1320
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 1: that AU helmet against Alabama, they could beat him. And

1321
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 1: if they beat Alabam at the end of the year.

1322
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 1: You can imagine how that might by Hugh Freeze another year.

1323
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put anything past anything in that rivalry. So

1324
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:12,040
Speaker 1: that's where it stands right now. Iowa State lost to

1325
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:15,640
Speaker 1: BYU yesterday, forty one to twenty seven, second week in

1326
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 1: a row. You got to give a ton of credit

1327
01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:21,000
Speaker 1: to Brigham Young. I thought it was a terrible spot

1328
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:24,559
Speaker 1: for him. Iowa State was rested at home, Brigham Young

1329
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 1: coming off an emotional close win against a rival the

1330
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 1: week before, and they got to travel maybe one of

1331
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:34,200
Speaker 1: their longest road trips they could take. I guess West

1332
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:36,880
Speaker 1: Virginia's further away. And they found a way to win

1333
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 1: the game. And they trailed early and found a way

1334
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:41,280
Speaker 1: to win the game. Iowa State had nearly five hundred

1335
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:43,280
Speaker 1: yards and only twenty seven points. And I'm gonna tell

1336
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 1: you how that happened. Two turnovers, two more turnovers on downs.

1337
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:49,519
Speaker 1: And the thing about it is, if you told me

1338
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:52,840
Speaker 1: some team was gonna have four total turnovers, I would

1339
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 1: have guessed it wasn't the rested home team. I would

1340
01:09:56,200 --> 01:10:00,839
Speaker 1: have guessed it was the road weary, emotional down spot

1341
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:05,240
Speaker 1: team coming in to Jack Trice Stadium. It wasn't. And

1342
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 1: now guess what Brigham Young gets to do. They get

1343
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 1: to rest and then they get to go to Lubbock,

1344
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:16,920
Speaker 1: Texas next weekend weekend after next huge weekend coming up.

1345
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:19,679
Speaker 1: Because Texas Tech is still favored to win this conference,

1346
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 1: the next closest favorite is Brigham Young and they play

1347
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:25,760
Speaker 1: each other in a couple of weeks. Game on in

1348
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 1: the Big twelve, Georgia Tech took care of Syracuse forty

1349
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 1: one to sixteen. Haines King American Hero Haines King twenty

1350
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:35,720
Speaker 1: five to thirty one, three hundred and four yards, had

1351
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:38,640
Speaker 1: another ninety one on the ground, five total touchdowns. That

1352
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:41,040
Speaker 1: guy would be squarely in the mix for the Heisman

1353
01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:45,160
Speaker 1: if it were up to me. And instead he is

1354
01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 1: two four six. He's eighth, I think, or tied for seventh,

1355
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:53,519
Speaker 1: whatever that is in the odds. Here's what I do know.

1356
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:56,800
Speaker 1: You want to talk about money for a second. In

1357
01:10:56,840 --> 01:11:01,000
Speaker 1: the preseason, we did some over under win totals. You

1358
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:04,479
Speaker 1: remember what our favorite one was Georgia Tech over seven

1359
01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:07,599
Speaker 1: and a half. Well, friends, it is not November. It

1360
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:09,880
Speaker 1: is not even Halloween yet, although they won't play another

1361
01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:13,320
Speaker 1: game before Halloween. But still it sounds better. Pre Halloween

1362
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:16,880
Speaker 1: win total already hitting here. That feels good. They're now

1363
01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 1: favorite to win the ACC. Are you listening everyone? Georgia

1364
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:22,040
Speaker 1: Tech is the favorite to win the ACC now, I

1365
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:25,760
Speaker 1: will tell you part of that is because Miami is

1366
01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:29,000
Speaker 1: not Madam, Like Miami is not Madam, Matt. I'm trying

1367
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 1: to say something and I couldn't say it the first time,

1368
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:34,599
Speaker 1: so I tried to rewrack the balls, and I tried

1369
01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:36,880
Speaker 1: to say it again, and it didn't work the second time.

1370
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try a third time. Miami is not mathematically

1371
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:45,879
Speaker 1: guaranteed to make the ACC Championship game, and the schedule

1372
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 1: over there is so weird because I don't know how

1373
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 1: this happens. Like in the SEC, they play eight conference

1374
01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:55,160
Speaker 1: games and I feel like everyone plays everyone. The ACC

1375
01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 1: plays the same amount, and I feel like no one

1376
01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 1: plays anyone anyway. Georgia Tech long story short, favorite to

1377
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:05,400
Speaker 1: win the league right now. However, if they play Miami,

1378
01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 1: Miami will be favored, if that makes any sense. Memphis,

1379
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:14,040
Speaker 1: What a day, m Memphis yesterday, massive day for G five, Josh.

1380
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:16,599
Speaker 1: Of course, you gotta understand how big this was for me.

1381
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:19,440
Speaker 1: Memphis trailed most of the day. They trailed by seventeen.

1382
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:22,320
Speaker 1: Well actually they trailed thirty one to seventeen. Yeah, I

1383
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 1: did the math right. They scored the final seventeen and

1384
01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:30,280
Speaker 1: the G five odds right now. Fascinating, fascinating landscape. Look

1385
01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:33,559
Speaker 1: at this, So Tulane and now, if we're looking at

1386
01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:35,479
Speaker 1: the odds to make the playoff, you know, the G

1387
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 1: five gets a team in at least one guarantee team

1388
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:43,879
Speaker 1: in right now. According to FanDuel, Tulane is the favorite

1389
01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:50,960
Speaker 1: to grab that spot. USF is second, North Texas is third,

1390
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:55,280
Speaker 1: Memphis is fourth, and Navy is fifth. Tulane plays Memphis

1391
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 1: next week. I think it's a Friday night game too.

1392
01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:02,679
Speaker 1: So Navy and North Texas play this weekend in Denton.

1393
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:05,840
Speaker 1: So there's a lot going on. Man like this, James

1394
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:09,960
Speaker 1: Madison sneaking around to the school. Not the guy. It

1395
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 1: would be a big story if it were the latter.

1396
01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:15,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, G five, Josh got my hands full right now,

1397
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:22,559
Speaker 1: got my hands full, as does the AP as it

1398
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 1: turns out, appreciate you guys watching someone super chat us Jesse. Yeah,

1399
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:30,360
Speaker 1: someone gave us nine to ninety nine. Split that amongst

1400
01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:38,559
Speaker 1: the staff. So the AP pole has dropped and I

1401
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:40,479
Speaker 1: didn't have a ton of bones to pick last week,

1402
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:44,320
Speaker 1: but I got a couple this week. I just don't,

1403
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 1: you know what, never mind, we'll just go into it.

1404
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 1: Memphis is number twenty five, Utah's twenty four, USC twenty three,

1405
01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:53,720
Speaker 1: Houston twenty two. None of those were ranked last week. Now,

1406
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with teams that weren't ranked

1407
01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:58,360
Speaker 1: jumping up into this thing. I do question how USC

1408
01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:03,800
Speaker 1: went from unranked ranked despite the fact that they didn't play.

1409
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:06,599
Speaker 1: I understand the principle. The principle is if teams ahead

1410
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 1: of you drop and everyone just bumps up a wrong

1411
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 1: or two. But here's the question. Why would Iowa not

1412
01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:18,320
Speaker 1: jump into this thing? Why would Washington not jump into

1413
01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:22,879
Speaker 1: the thing? You know, teams that played yesterday and dominated yesterday.

1414
01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:26,280
Speaker 1: Did you see what Iowa did to Minnesota with the

1415
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:29,320
Speaker 1: Floyd on the line, Floyd of Rosedale on the line,

1416
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:34,200
Speaker 1: A splattering, a splattering with the Floyida Rosedale on the line.

1417
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:36,680
Speaker 1: And that's not good enough to rank Iowa. You know

1418
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:40,400
Speaker 1: why they didn't watch The voters didn't watch the game.

1419
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:43,160
Speaker 1: How they gonna rank you if they didn't watch the game.

1420
01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:47,840
Speaker 1: And Washington like Washington so far this year had the

1421
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 1: unenviable task of playing Ohio State, so that's a loss

1422
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:55,400
Speaker 1: on their resume, and then they've played Michigan and that's

1423
01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:57,720
Speaker 1: a loss on their resume. I see both of those

1424
01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:02,240
Speaker 1: teams firmly entrenched here in the ranking. They really handled

1425
01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:08,000
Speaker 1: Illinois yesterday. They're not ranked either, And I just I

1426
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:10,280
Speaker 1: would pay a lot of money to know how many

1427
01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:15,719
Speaker 1: Washington games outside the Ohio State game or Iowa games

1428
01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:19,000
Speaker 1: period that the AP voters have watched, because they have

1429
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:21,960
Speaker 1: no business being unranked, and yet they are, and Southern

1430
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:24,400
Speaker 1: Couge is sitting there, and for that matter, Houston's sitting

1431
01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:28,120
Speaker 1: there now. Houston had a great win yesterday against Arizona State,

1432
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:30,920
Speaker 1: but they lost to Texas Tech pretty handedly at home.

1433
01:15:31,200 --> 01:15:33,639
Speaker 1: Their strength of schedule I think is inferior to both

1434
01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:36,760
Speaker 1: Washington and Iowa. So anyway, I think both those teams

1435
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:39,120
Speaker 1: should be ranked. Michigan's at twenty one, by the way,

1436
01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:46,200
Speaker 1: Texas at twenty. Texas is at twenty, so maybe that's

1437
01:15:46,200 --> 01:15:49,240
Speaker 1: all there is to say about that. I think sometimes

1438
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:51,960
Speaker 1: you get credit for two things. The first, you've got

1439
01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:55,719
Speaker 1: the Longhorn logo. The second is you're a two loss

1440
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,080
Speaker 1: SEC team, so you're just going to get a lot

1441
01:15:58,080 --> 01:16:01,439
Speaker 1: of benefit of doubt. I would have no problem if

1442
01:16:01,479 --> 01:16:04,040
Speaker 1: Texas was unranked. I would have no problem with that.

1443
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:06,719
Speaker 1: So if anyone wants to yell some of these SEC

1444
01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:10,519
Speaker 1: teams are overrated in most cases, I don't agree with that.

1445
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:14,040
Speaker 1: You could yell at about Texas and I wouldn't fight

1446
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:18,200
Speaker 1: you on it. I'm okay with that. Missouri's nineteen. They're

1447
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:22,160
Speaker 1: down four spots. Quarterback is out probably for the year,

1448
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:25,760
Speaker 1: but you're not supposed to project here, so I think

1449
01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:28,800
Speaker 1: they're properly rated or ranked right now. But with the

1450
01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 1: understanding that there's further I mean, they're about to play

1451
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:34,840
Speaker 1: A and M in two weeks, like they're probably not

1452
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:37,439
Speaker 1: winning that game, so there's further that Missouri can fall.

1453
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 1: So I don't know that they'll be in this much longer.

1454
01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:45,080
Speaker 1: Like Oklahoma. Same thing. Oklahoma's eighteenth. I don't think they're

1455
01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:48,960
Speaker 1: propped up because they've played tough schedules, especially Oklahoma. However,

1456
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 1: they're probably not done losing either. So I think those

1457
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:55,200
Speaker 1: are two that are ranked right now, and I agree

1458
01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:58,960
Speaker 1: with it, But if I'm projecting, I don't know that

1459
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:02,720
Speaker 1: either of them will finish st. Cincinnati's at seventeen and

1460
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:06,120
Speaker 1: having a really solid year. Louisville is at sixteen. They're

1461
01:17:06,200 --> 01:17:09,320
Speaker 1: up three spots, having a really solid year, all right.

1462
01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:11,719
Speaker 1: Virginia is at fifteen. Now, this is where it starts

1463
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:13,479
Speaker 1: to get interesting, because this is where we're so far

1464
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:16,759
Speaker 1: in the schedule now that it's not that you've played

1465
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:19,599
Speaker 1: three or four teams. You've played six or seven teams

1466
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:21,920
Speaker 1: in some cases, and so we're starting to get a

1467
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:24,519
Speaker 1: really solid resume, and we're starting to really ask the

1468
01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:28,719
Speaker 1: question who have they played? And this there's this debate

1469
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:31,959
Speaker 1: that forms, all right, how much should you be rewarded

1470
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:35,599
Speaker 1: for just pure record? How much should you be rewarded

1471
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:39,960
Speaker 1: for strength of record versus strength of schedule? What's the

1472
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:42,639
Speaker 1: difference between the two. Our buddies at College Football Nerds

1473
01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:44,720
Speaker 1: put out a really good thread the other day that

1474
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:48,000
Speaker 1: I happen to agree with about how strength of record

1475
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:52,439
Speaker 1: sometimes is a very overused and misunderstood metric, and strength

1476
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:55,479
Speaker 1: of schedule is also sometimes misunderstood, but I think it's

1477
01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:58,719
Speaker 1: more understood. So they're at fifteen right now, Tennessee at fourteen.

1478
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:01,960
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. I'm going to finish here,

1479
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:05,679
Speaker 1: Texas tex at thirteen, Notre Dame twelve, bring him young eleven.

1480
01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 1: So let's talk about Tennessee and Notre Dame here cause

1481
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:12,040
Speaker 1: I kind of have the same question about both of them.

1482
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:14,200
Speaker 1: All Right, what are we rewarding? What are we really

1483
01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 1: voting on here? We could be voting on potential, which

1484
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:19,960
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to be voting on, or we could

1485
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:24,040
Speaker 1: be voting on how many games you've won, or we

1486
01:18:24,040 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 1: could be voting on how strong the teams were that

1487
01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 1: beat you. So Notre Dame, as we know, has lost

1488
01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:35,000
Speaker 1: to Texas A and m Close. They lost to Miami close.

1489
01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:38,720
Speaker 1: Those are two top ten teams. Tennessee lost to the

1490
01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:42,240
Speaker 1: number four team and the number five team, and that's

1491
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:44,559
Speaker 1: full stop there. So if those are your only losses

1492
01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:46,800
Speaker 1: and you've won every other game, I fully get you

1493
01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:49,080
Speaker 1: know what your resume is and how it warrants you

1494
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:52,200
Speaker 1: being number twelve or number fourteen. My question is what

1495
01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:53,200
Speaker 1: are your best wins?

1496
01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 2: Like?

1497
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:57,840
Speaker 1: At what point do we stop crediting you solely for

1498
01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 1: losing close to really good teams and start asking Okay,

1499
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:06,000
Speaker 1: but also have you beaten anybody worthwhile? And Tennessee just

1500
01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:10,320
Speaker 1: flat out hasn't Tennessee's beating Syracuse, Mississippi State, Arkansas, Kentucky,

1501
01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 1: but they're getting credit for playing Bama kind of close

1502
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:18,559
Speaker 1: a seventeen point game and playing Georgia really close. Tennessee

1503
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:20,479
Speaker 1: may be a little overrated here. To be honest with you,

1504
01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:24,960
Speaker 1: they should be ranked. I'm not saying they shouldn't be ranked.

1505
01:19:25,439 --> 01:19:28,360
Speaker 1: That's where people. That's where you lose people. If you're

1506
01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:30,880
Speaker 1: doing the whole anti SEC thing and you said, look

1507
01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:34,479
Speaker 1: at Tennessee, Yeah, I'm looking at them. What they shouldn't

1508
01:19:34,520 --> 01:19:37,879
Speaker 1: even be ranked? No, buddy, No, they've got better resumes

1509
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:40,559
Speaker 1: than like number twenty two. If you're saying they shouldn't

1510
01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:43,759
Speaker 1: be fourteenth, they should be nineteenth, that's where I'll listen

1511
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:46,200
Speaker 1: to you. You gotta have some nuance to your argument.

1512
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:49,240
Speaker 1: You can't just cut your chest open with a machete

1513
01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:54,360
Speaker 1: and you rail against the SEC nonsensically. But I would

1514
01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:56,200
Speaker 1: listen to you if you said Tennessee was a little

1515
01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:59,519
Speaker 1: overrated here. Notre Dame at twelve. Same thing. Now they've

1516
01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:02,120
Speaker 1: got the u C win so US. He's ranked right

1517
01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:04,320
Speaker 1: now according to the AP. At the very least, they're

1518
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:08,000
Speaker 1: a top thirty team. That's better than any win Tennessee has,

1519
01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:11,439
Speaker 1: so I get it a little bit more with Notre Dame. Frankly,

1520
01:20:11,479 --> 01:20:13,360
Speaker 1: I think they're still projecting a little bit with both

1521
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:17,000
Speaker 1: of them. Brigham Young in Miami, you're tied for tenth.

1522
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:21,080
Speaker 1: We don't even have a function in our graphic to

1523
01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:24,599
Speaker 1: create a tie, because why would we have a tie,

1524
01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:29,280
Speaker 1: But we do so they're tied for tenth. Vandy's ninth

1525
01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:32,760
Speaker 1: than Georgia Tech is eighth. Right now, it's getting a

1526
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:36,080
Speaker 1: little later in the season. We've had years in the

1527
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:38,680
Speaker 1: past where you look in the early part of the

1528
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:42,439
Speaker 1: season and oh, how cute, how cute it's now it's

1529
01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:47,280
Speaker 1: still September, but Vandy's ranked. Let's pat Georgia Tech on

1530
01:20:47,320 --> 01:20:50,800
Speaker 1: the head. They're ranked. The next time they play football games,

1531
01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:54,439
Speaker 1: it'll be November. It's not early anymore. And there's this

1532
01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:58,519
Speaker 1: thing in my mind that I keep picturing. It involves

1533
01:20:58,560 --> 01:21:03,000
Speaker 1: both of these teams. Let's just say they keep winning.

1534
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:05,639
Speaker 1: Each one of them can afford to drop a game, really,

1535
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:09,240
Speaker 1: but let's say they keep winning. Do you realize what

1536
01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:13,200
Speaker 1: it would be like during rivalry weekend where over the

1537
01:21:13,240 --> 01:21:16,040
Speaker 1: past few years Texas, Texas A and m was big.

1538
01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:20,080
Speaker 1: Last year Ohio State, Michigan's Big Iron Bowl's been kind

1539
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:24,920
Speaker 1: of hit or miss. Can you imagine if Vandy Tennessee

1540
01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:31,240
Speaker 1: has playoff implications? Furthermore, follow me here. You know, Georgia

1541
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:36,519
Speaker 1: and Georgia Tech play that Friday, and sadly, Georgia Tech

1542
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:40,080
Speaker 1: moved the game to Mercedes Benz Stadium for a paycheck.

1543
01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:43,719
Speaker 1: I get it, but I don't like it. But both

1544
01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:46,160
Speaker 1: of those games could have huge implications. Not to mention,

1545
01:21:46,360 --> 01:21:49,080
Speaker 1: you could have A and M and Texas that day

1546
01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:52,759
Speaker 1: and you're still going to have Ohio State Michigan. Who Yeah,

1547
01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:55,519
Speaker 1: So lots still look forward to Ole Missus seven yep,

1548
01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:58,720
Speaker 1: Oregon six yep, and then five to one. I don't

1549
01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:02,080
Speaker 1: even think they changed Georgia, Bama, A and m Indiana

1550
01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:05,360
Speaker 1: Ohio State. So there's a gap in the Big ten

1551
01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:10,800
Speaker 1: right now, and there's not in the SEC. The Big

1552
01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:14,080
Speaker 1: Ten has the number one, two, and six teams, and

1553
01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:15,840
Speaker 1: then there's a gap and the next closest one is

1554
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:18,800
Speaker 1: number twenty one and twenty three. So there's a big

1555
01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 1: gap forming there, which is going to be good for

1556
01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:23,719
Speaker 1: the Big Ten because it really clears up the picture.

1557
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 1: Now they may only get three teams in the playoff

1558
01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:28,400
Speaker 1: for all I know, but they're going to be three

1559
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:31,880
Speaker 1: really really bona fide national championship contending teams, whereas in

1560
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:35,080
Speaker 1: the SEC, it's still a little early to know this

1561
01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:38,040
Speaker 1: because we haven't seen what form teams are going to

1562
01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:41,400
Speaker 1: be in come December. It may be the SEC has

1563
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:44,760
Speaker 1: no team that's as good as Ohio State, or they

1564
01:22:44,840 --> 01:22:46,720
Speaker 1: may have like three teams that can compete with them.

1565
01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:49,559
Speaker 1: I don't know that's what God created November and December for.

1566
01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:53,040
Speaker 1: But look at the state of the SEC. They got

1567
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:56,200
Speaker 1: number they got five of the top nine. It's quicker

1568
01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:58,280
Speaker 1: for me to just say that they got five of

1569
01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:00,880
Speaker 1: the top nine and they got fourteen, eighteen, nineteen, and

1570
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:05,040
Speaker 1: twenty as well. So I know what a lot of

1571
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:08,320
Speaker 1: people say to that, and I think you're wrong. A

1572
01:23:08,320 --> 01:23:10,120
Speaker 1: lot of people say, oh, of course, a lot of

1573
01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:13,120
Speaker 1: their teams are ranked well. They're ranked so that they

1574
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:15,719
Speaker 1: can prop up themselves by talking about how many ranked

1575
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:20,000
Speaker 1: wins they have. That only fits if you can point

1576
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:23,080
Speaker 1: to me the SEC teams that don't deserve to be ranked.

1577
01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:27,759
Speaker 1: Don't tell me they're overrated, because whether Tennessee's fourteen or eighteen,

1578
01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:29,600
Speaker 1: that still be ranked. So that was going to be

1579
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:32,599
Speaker 1: a ranked win for Alabama. I want you to tell

1580
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:36,799
Speaker 1: me which teams shouldn't be ranked, and so if it's Missouri,

1581
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:40,679
Speaker 1: for example, you got to give me, since they're nineteen,

1582
01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:44,200
Speaker 1: you got to give me six resumes that are in

1583
01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:47,120
Speaker 1: a blind comparison better than theirs. And I don't think

1584
01:23:47,160 --> 01:23:49,640
Speaker 1: you can. I don't think you can do that with

1585
01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:52,840
Speaker 1: a Vandy at number nine or Bam at number four,

1586
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:55,120
Speaker 1: you can say they're overrated. I just told you now

1587
01:23:55,160 --> 01:23:57,439
Speaker 1: Texas is one of them where I think you can

1588
01:23:57,439 --> 01:23:59,880
Speaker 1: make the argument Texas shouldn't be ranked. Well, GA's one.

1589
01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:04,719
Speaker 1: What about the rest? And don't be bending the logic

1590
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:08,160
Speaker 1: to fit your argument. You got to use the same

1591
01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:12,240
Speaker 1: criteria when you're comparing all of them. The SEC, they've

1592
01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:15,120
Speaker 1: got that many teams ranked right now, and they should

1593
01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:17,479
Speaker 1: have that many teams ranked right now. The trade off

1594
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:20,800
Speaker 1: to that is you could cannibalize yourself. The other trade

1595
01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:24,679
Speaker 1: off to that is the SEC may have zero elite teams.

1596
01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:28,559
Speaker 1: They may have zero A List teams. The Big Ten

1597
01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:31,880
Speaker 1: can have three for all I know. So a couple

1598
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:34,840
Speaker 1: of things can be true the Big Ten. Again, I'm

1599
01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:38,040
Speaker 1: using very soft language because we don't know, the Big

1600
01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:40,479
Speaker 1: Ten may have the two best teams in the country.

1601
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:42,600
Speaker 1: The Big Ten may have the three best teams in

1602
01:24:42,640 --> 01:24:46,639
Speaker 1: the country. The SEC may have the fourth, fifth, seventh, ninth, eleventh,

1603
01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:48,960
Speaker 1: and thirteenth best teams in the country. So it could

1604
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:52,479
Speaker 1: be overall a deeper conference, but without the tallest trees

1605
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:55,280
Speaker 1: like the Big Ten has. I'm very interested to see

1606
01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:57,120
Speaker 1: how that plays out, because again, I don't want to

1607
01:24:57,120 --> 01:24:59,519
Speaker 1: back myself into a corner because it's not November yet.

1608
01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:01,720
Speaker 1: If you want to bet those things, though, you can

1609
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:03,920
Speaker 1: go over to FanDuel. I'm about to do I'm about

1610
01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:06,799
Speaker 1: to do it with two games. FanDuel is the exclusive

1611
01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:10,519
Speaker 1: odds provider of the show. We appreciate them for providing

1612
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:12,800
Speaker 1: us a lot of useful information during the week. See

1613
01:25:12,800 --> 01:25:14,759
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I know some of you don't bet,

1614
01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:16,920
Speaker 1: and even if you do bet, you need to be

1615
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:20,360
Speaker 1: doing it very responsibly, very responsibly. That means, if there's

1616
01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:22,080
Speaker 1: a question as to whether you should place the bet,

1617
01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:25,320
Speaker 1: don't place the bet. If you're boring money, if you're

1618
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:29,479
Speaker 1: moving around things budgetarily, don't place the bet. But if

1619
01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:32,840
Speaker 1: you can afford to do it entertainingly, then do it.

1620
01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:36,439
Speaker 1: But even some of you who don't bet, you're interested

1621
01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:40,439
Speaker 1: in the information FanDuel gives us, and that's been the

1622
01:25:40,479 --> 01:25:43,200
Speaker 1: most fun thing about that partnership. But if you are

1623
01:25:43,240 --> 01:25:45,320

1624
01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:47,479

01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:50,320

1626
01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:53,680
Speaker 1: not free money. That doesn't exist, but it's close to it.

1627
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:57,080

01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:43,920
Speaker 1: Now, these are not sure things that I hold in

1644
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:47,559
Speaker 1: my hand somehow. Yesterday I felt like it was a

1645
01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:50,800
Speaker 1: terrible day for the Ramanudle Express. I felt like that,

1646
01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:55,479
Speaker 1: But it wasn't. We won yesterday. It's just that we

1647
01:26:55,560 --> 01:26:57,439
Speaker 1: lost a lot of early games and won a lot

1648
01:26:57,439 --> 01:27:00,960
Speaker 1: of late games. Now, we finished sixth, and that's nothing

1649
01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:03,120
Speaker 1: to write home about, but it felt like we were

1650
01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:05,760
Speaker 1: about four and eight or something like that, so we

1651
01:27:05,760 --> 01:27:09,680
Speaker 1: weren't so soft soft pad on the back to us.

1652
01:27:10,400 --> 01:27:13,000
Speaker 1: I'm starting with two Big ten games for this week slate.

1653
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:16,680
Speaker 1: We were taking Illinois minus twelve and a half. We

1654
01:27:16,720 --> 01:27:19,080
Speaker 1: bet him yesterday. They failed us miserably, so we're gonna

1655
01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:22,200
Speaker 1: bet him again. Illinois minus twelve and a half against

1656
01:27:22,280 --> 01:27:26,000
Speaker 1: Rutgers at home, and we're gonna bet Purdue plus twenty

1657
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:29,559
Speaker 1: one and a half at Michigan. Got a couple other

1658
01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:31,360
Speaker 1: Big ten games I'm looking at. We may just bet

1659
01:27:31,360 --> 01:27:33,200
Speaker 1: the whole Big ten this week. I mean when has

1660
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:35,960
Speaker 1: that ever gone wrong for anyone. So I know a

1661
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:38,840
Speaker 1: lot of you are tuned in because you found out

1662
01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:41,960
Speaker 1: that Brian Kelly got fired. So again, I want to

1663
01:27:42,040 --> 01:27:45,400
Speaker 1: just kind of wrap the show up. Brian Kelly has

1664
01:27:45,439 --> 01:27:50,519
Speaker 1: been fired at LSU. Coaching search underway immediately. I would

1665
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:53,439
Speaker 1: strongly encourage you guys follow Pete Nakos. He'll have the

1666
01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:58,280
Speaker 1: latest on hot boards, He'll have the latest on buyouts,

1667
01:27:58,280 --> 01:28:00,120
Speaker 1: He'll have the latest on all that stuff. And I

1668
01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:01,920
Speaker 1: was on the phone with him pretty frequently throughout the day.

1669
01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:05,120
Speaker 1: A big hat tip to him being proactive keeping us

1670
01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:07,800
Speaker 1: in the loop. And it's been a crazy day down

1671
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:11,400
Speaker 1: in Baton Rouge. If you're just now kind of realizing, oh,

1672
01:28:11,439 --> 01:28:14,160
Speaker 1: this is about to be crazy, yes, yes it is.

1673
01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:16,960
Speaker 1: We warned you a month ago this coaching carousel cycle

1674
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:19,639
Speaker 1: was going to be unlike anything you've ever seen. Since then,

1675
01:28:19,840 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of jobs have opened up, I'd say the

1676
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:27,040
Speaker 1: biggest so far just opened up at LSU. And make

1677
01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:29,080
Speaker 1: sure you're subscribed to the channel. That's all I can

1678
01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:31,519
Speaker 1: tell you. It's not over, it's just getting started, So

1679
01:28:31,640 --> 01:28:34,519
Speaker 1: make sure you subscribe to the channel. It's free. All

1680
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:37,280
Speaker 1: we do is college football, all year long, and this

1681
01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:41,439
Speaker 1: next couple of months especially, I would say, will probably

1682
01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:43,320
Speaker 1: be the craziest couple of months we've ever had on

1683
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:46,719
Speaker 1: the show. Fortunately, we don't have to turn our attention

1684
01:28:46,760 --> 01:28:49,760
Speaker 1: to anything else. This is all we do. So if

1685
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:52,360
Speaker 1: you missed, if you missed us talking about Brian Kelly,

1686
01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:54,479
Speaker 1: you just go right back in the show. It's at

1687
01:28:54,479 --> 01:28:57,960
Speaker 1: the beginning. We covered it for like twenty twenty five minutes,

1688
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:01,639
Speaker 1: and we'll probably be talking about LSU a fair amount

1689
01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:04,040
Speaker 1: Tuesday night. I would ventured to think, all right, I

1690
01:29:04,040 --> 01:29:06,599
Speaker 1: gotta go eat in the meantime. So for producer Jesse,

1691
